Is there a way we can do the Amazon Prime/Twitch thing for Null? It's only $2.50 per account linked but why not take Amazon's money if it's free?

It's only the front page which has been captured, and only intermittently. There were 131 captures between 30 August 2002 and 7 March 2018. The links to the forums on the captured pages work, though.

The way it read in one part of it had me thinking it was saving the forums a bit too but turns out I was wrong.

Only really need to save the stuff from 99'-04'ish after that we all know the garbage fire it becomes.
 
He's taking it well.

It's Lowtax, we already know he's going to fuck this up somehow.

The thread has already devolved into discussions about whether YOSPOS should rewrite the forums, Lowtax should pay someone to fix the existing code, or the forums should migrate to new software - a discussion which has been had many times before with no resolution. Lowtax will inevitably make the worst and most expensive choice.

He'll probably pocket the money, claim he's trying to do something then never actually do anything other than get himself a 6 month supply of Ambien & Franzia.

Lowtax allowed his comedy website to be overrun by troons and cat ladies who couldn't care less about his struggles as a heteronormative, cishet white male. He cucked himself into a corner and is now learning that wokepoints don't amount to shit in the real world. May the dubious legacy of SomethingAwful serve as a cautionary tale for future generations of community managers.

This is a key reason, he made the forums a safe space for people who have no money (troons, SJWs, woke retards). Look at the Ape Cage forum which is moderated by Brittany, the whitest black woman. They spend all day talking about their sad lives and how they can’t catch a break and it’s white America/capitalism’s fault so people should pay them money to exist.

Lowtax’s e-begging posts come off as if it was written by one of them or he took cues off their begging posts.
 
I'm still catching up on the thread but people asking how the money is going to be spent are getting shat on.

Lowtax did post this much.

Weirdly, at the beginning of the thread he posted that he hadn't been doing much computer-wise because he was mostly confined to bed and he didn't have a laptop. Goons are throwing money at him now, but I'm sure someone would have sent him a laptop months ago had he mentioned it.

KM is apparently "on sabbatical".

Probably pain pills.

Money will def be used so Lowtax can go another year not working, esp not working on the forums.

From his vague descriptions I’m beginning to think Lowtax’s back troubles are mental in nature. Physical pain becomes the crutch to use for why you abuse pills, lay in bed all day, stay in your underwater, don’t work, etc... he probably believes it too. I bet the worse his stress has gotten the worse the pain and need for pills.

I could easily see KM being a “muh chronic pain” sped. Her behavior matches up with the type perfectly.

100% dead honest posting, I'm pretty sure Lowtax is a pill head & he's definitely a suburban alcoholic.
He's leading a pretty shitty home life, living in bumfuck Missouri, and he's got no friends anymore; they all either moved away or started wearing a yarn wig and talking like Kermit the frog getting a colonoscopy (and probably molesting his kids). He's goddamn forty, but still pretends he's an edgy 20 year old iconoclast speaking truth to power by triggering Grandmas; so he can't bring himself to do lame normie shit to make new actual friends: take up hunting/fishing/hiking, start model railroading, go to church, search for j/o groups on craigslist, etc.
(I'm leaving off "get a motorcycle" and "go to the gym" because lol try to imagine that faggot trying to hang out with even the local Accountant Bike club. Or him trying to be Swoletax, even before his spin crumbled)

There's nothing for him to do all day but abuse pills and get drunk.

What he forgot, in all his "Oh sure 'just say no', whatever DAD" is that pain pill abuse is absolute hell on your body. It will fuck up your ability to take in nutrients like, say calcium and potassium, which your body uses to build & repair bone. Especially bones that are getting crammed and pressured into odd angles and held there for hours, as the signals your body would normally use to communicate "Hey dumbass, you are putting too much goddamn weight on your neck, turn over", aka pain, are now so muffled that you'll just keep on having your couch nap while destroying your cartilage.




Also everyone knows damn well that Koala's Mooch suffers from muh fibromyalgia, given to her by White Cis Men to keep her from over throwing them with her $2500 gaming. Sorry I mean video editing computer. Paid for by goon contributions to her 'microloan' program.
