fake and gay

the whole mess probably was dreamed up specifically to get people here to post about it
It speaks volumes that they would rather brew up an elaborate fake dramastorm to bait a comedy offsite than interact with their own community. Remember that the mods all have anonymous sockpuppet accounts to use in their own version of the Forum Discussion subforum, because they’re that fucking afraid of being held personally accountable for literally anything. They‘re hiding from the goons.
 
Reminder that per previous posts, your most recent probation overwrites any other probations.
So those 100,000 hour ones will be 6 hours by tomorrow once they've honeypotted some posters.
 
Um I thought lowtax moved away from physical servers and just runs the janky code on vitrual servers, and lady ambian just been too smart and quit to try and take the servers. which again are just rented virtual machines.

AFIAK you are correct, except lowtax didn't, his codebitch Chooch did. (yeah, yeah, using the royal we)

Even though the servers are virtual, its possible Lowtax runs the VMs on hardware he owns & colo's.

Anyway, too much thinking about april fools Mod gayops.
 
I’m guessing the troon mods maybe were like let’s make this a real thing.

They did that back in like 2014. How can you seize control of something you already own?
The current modstaff is more boring male allies who just happened to be in the right place at the right time when mod staff started overturning post-Ozma/EPG.

Given what FAU said about the admin panel, giving anybody truly insane (such as a troon) admin powers is practically asking for the forums to be sabotaged beyond repair the moment somebody's hormones go out of whack.
 
Somehow that's even more embarrassing than if they really had done it. At least trying to steal a cloud hosted server from Lowtax would have been funny.

again how to you steal a cloud server I get if they just drugged him stole the boxes or if they just moved the domain registry.

I think a few hookers and beers would get control away from lowT no problem.

There could still be laughs to be had, as it can be argued that the mods saying that Ashlee was trying to steal the server from LowT could be considered libellous, and since the mods are affiliated with SA, they are technically working for LowT. It may cause issues for Richie-boy in the proceedings if she wants to make an issue of it.
