Yeah. Some people there have spent their entire adult lives in their favorite subforum and have developed into weird mutants because SA is their life. It's why Koala's March is basically feral, she was raised by Debate and Discussion.

You make it sound hot. And it is.

However, I've seen the level of fanatical devotion some goons have to that forum. ISIS would be jealous of how loyal some people are to that forum instead of their :autism: bastardization of Islam, and I seriously fear more than one goon would likely kill themselves in a mass suicide like in one of those hilarious SASS fanfics.

The fanatical ones already hang together in various FB groups/IRC channels. There'd be lots of talk about launching a new forum, but it's unlikely it would get off the ground because no-one would want to invest the time and money to get it going.

Something's definitely wrong technically. The site was screwy this morning before the drama and throwing up Cloudflare errors but now it's consistently taking forever to load a page.

I assume by the weekend everyone will pretending this didn't happen. Just like everyone is pretending Lowtax wasn't going to delete FYAD last week.
 
I'm sure it's no coincidence that the forums just happen to have technical problems right after Lowtax draws the ire of the leftist cabal. This is basically ZDR telling him to back the fuck off.
 
At this point, even if Rich finally thought, "Hey, maybe letting a bunch of tedious joyless faggots run my comedy website is a bad plan," so many posters have been driven off by the mods that I can't imagine the site would recover soon, if ever. "Come back and give me ten more bucks, this time you won't be permad for saying hurtful things about fat women of color honest," is probably not a compelling enough offer that many would take him up on it.
 
Anyone else ready to be a Nazi?

Also, ZDR was probably just poofed out of existence by a server error...

Their's no reason the site can't bounce back, all lowtax really needs to do is start reviewing mod bans/probations and retracting shitty ones, at the same time marking out buzzkill autocratic mods and replacing them with people who arnt total fuck ups they retire/ragequit. No fuss , no power struggles just a gentle shift in forum culture, you can accelerate the process by setting up an anti-sj,w, gender-fluid mocking and shmorky thread and waiting to see who makes the mistake of shitting it up.

This Doxing thing might actually work for him by establishing whose wearing the pants even if he is being a cunt.

Of coarse that would require about 2-3 hours work a day and I think that's the only thing Lowtax dreads more than paying someone money to sort the tech issues.
