What's that? I thought the site was still chugging along but it was Low-T that was threatening to pull the plug because of his surgery bills and crippling dependency on pills, hence the fundraisers for him/"the site".

That's what I'm talking about. I saw a post on SA from March about Lowtax resorting to e-begging so I came here and opined that the OP should include that the site might die.
 
The dropoff is starting, but Rich knows how to keep his supporters coming back.

Site won't die. It is still, somehow, by Lowtax's own careless admission during a previous "woe is me, plz donate", making triple its operating budget despite his best efforts to mismanage it into the ground. Lowtax does zero work and collects checks.
The only thing that resembles an actual threat to its continued operations would be Lowtax going full golden goose and trying to sell it for a one-time payday. Which he won't do because this is the only thing that makes him relevant, since failing to raise his kids doesn't seem to do it for him.

It'[s hard to be useful and raise a kid without a functioning spine ffiw
 
He wasn't doing all the great of a job of either being a father or not-useless even before his literal spine started to resemble his metaphorical spine. fwiw.
 
You know what would be interesting? If one of his kids gets old enough to just take over for dad, does so, and then actually makes the site good. Or even just the "take over" part. I want to see that.
 
to no one's shock, that mod has cucked under to SJWs and banned the wrong thinker who broke no other rules. Because he disagreed that Obama's policy of separating kids from parents constituted "Concentration Camps" and got the trannies all riled up.

Can we get that brave soul a login here?

On the plus side with each pointless banning SA shrinks further into irrelevancy. On the downside... there is no downside. SA continues to embarrass itself and mods getting browbeaten by screeching users used to be bannable but how far we've come from those days.
 
lol, that is exactly the passive-aggressive bullshit that is very similar in tone you got in the 90s from bible-thumping middle-aged women that would write complaints to TV stations. It might have changed form, but the kind never died out. I can only repeat myself, I do not miss that place. Life's too short to die on pointless hills dealing with such miserable fucks.

I was very surprised to find out Lowtax is in his early 40s. I thought he was pushing 50 the way he looked. Hell, I know guys in their 50s that look younger and fitter than him. His whole face just seems to kinda melt off, it just always seems puffy and bloated in his recent pictures. I wonder if he drinks.

By the way, having such an unusual spinal injury out of nowhere and him being addicted to pain pills like I read here would totally make sense in that combination. I don't know if it has been mentioned so sorry if it has but people who are long term addicted to things like opiates very often cause such injuries to themselves because the body has no way of telling them that something they do is bad by the way of giving pain feedback. So for example, when a normal, non pill-abusing person sleeps funny by not lying down properly they adjust themselves either automatically in their sleep or when it's really bad wake up and just kinda move around until the pain is gone. Absolutely worst thing they end up with is a sore back for a day or two, injuries (while they can happen) are very rare. A chronic pill popper doesn't have that kind of feedback and sleeping funny can end up in nerve damage and even spinal injuries or entire body parts dying off because of lack of blood circulation because they simply do not feel they're hurting themselves and will do so for hours. This also happens to severe alcoholics. Opiate addicts also get hyper-sensible to pain because they literally cannot deal with anything and their pain threshold is extremely low and will abuse pills even worse when there's any sign of pain, often making the underlying problem worse. It's a combination that makes these people develop medical "old people problems" often decades before it would be understandable or normal. When I started reading the thread I thought people claiming he's an addict was just people shitting on him, but at this point I could imagine that it is happening. It would also explain his extreme passiveness and lack of will to care about anything or put any amount of effort into anything. If it's true, dude is basically typical pill-popping white trash who just gets a slightly bigger welfare payout.

Lowtax put a gun to the forum's head to get his sad brains users to pony up cash.
