I'm surprised any conservatives bother with SA now. Why not just come here? You don't even have to pay $10.

But what is a "conservative"? Is that anyone who doesn't donate to a mentally ill woman's colored people & troons ONLY fund?

Literally paying to be scolded, it's like a form of a badly created findom with a declining pool of paypigs. The mods don't care because they get to exercise a petty form of power but lowtax can't make the connection between his mod team and his declining fortunes. Sad.

I think this is the single best description of SomethingAwful that I've found. Especially in the area of FAU and KoalasMarch. Well done.

Nothing, lowtax is too chickenshit and lazy to replace FAU.

Yeah, I probably phrased that wrong. When I said I was curious to see what comes of FAU being a bitter little bitch and targeting people I meant that I actually expect there to be some more diversity hires to help him be even more terrible because he is having trouble being as big of a fag as he wants to be. I'm curious to see how much worse the moderation can get.

They do manage to generate quite a bit of salt which is probably what they get out of it. The issue with that is that forums like this address that kind of trolling and salt generation a million times better while being free.

Paying $10 to generate some salt and get banned isn't worth it.

FAU already hired the magical negro lady that isn’t a functional human forcing lowtax to put her in a cage. FAU is responsible for killing SA and taking money from Lowtax.
 
Isn't soliciting donations for something and then spending the donated money on something else fraud? Is Lowtax opening himself up to potential legal issues having spent that cash on "hosting fees"? I doubt he'd be able to produce receipts for where most of it went. I have no idea about US law but isn't this sort of thing close to felony territory?
 
Lowtax just posted about that the other day. While whining about how much revenue is down he said it takes half the month for the forums to pay for the hosting costs. Meaning the forum covers its own hosting costs twice over.

So I'm not sure exactly where the tens of thousands in donations and IRA money went other than to maintain Lowtax's level of drunken leisure.

I'm curious if anyone will try to complain about Lowtax using the forums emergency fund to go a few more months without having to get a job or expend the slightest effort.

Whats great about this one is that its a cold hard truth, lowtax is on a starvation diet . the forums still make money but only a fraction and it shows when 6 months ago lowtax was working on writting new articles and then he made content pod casts gaming shit.

in a perfect world lowtax would have a part time job ideally something where he could come up with funny articles and then get his website working smoothly if xeno forge would lower his hosting costs then he should just get the upgrade over with.

They are almost there.

They just think the forums are running in the negative and are the problem when the whole issue is that they are completely self sufficient and profitable but Lowtax's running costs are the ones that aren't being taken care of by the forums anymore.

The nebulous "Bills" that loans and xenforo money went to are child support, wine, drugs, rent, etc.
