Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

[Dyn]

The loss of his forum is what seemed to really start the downward spiral though, if he still had that income he may not have been at the point of killing himself over not wanting to pay, right?

Not that the guy wasn't a fuck up in general, but if his forum hadn't been hijacked by trannies, would be he still be alive?

He was a lazy drug addict who hadn't worked in twenty years, and when his free money for nothing suddenly dried up because people didn't want to keep giving free money to a wife-beating drug addict, he killed himself because the prospect of getting a job and having his wages garnished simply wasn't acceptable to him.

You could say it was internet shit that gave him so far to fall by making him undeservedly rich and famous, but Lowtax was fundamentally a man with no character and no spine. If he never made it big on the internet and he didn't have rich lawyer parents, he'd be the kind of unwashed semi-homeless junkie who stumbles on and off welfare programs for a few years before finally crawling into a gutter and dying, because his entire life was a passive suicide through lack of effort.

Probably didn't even intend on offing himself. It was his slippery toes fault, they claimed yet another victim.

 

[Pissmaster]

Do we count this towards the 41%?

He may as well be considered an honorary troon, so yes

Lowtax's ex offers a little glimpse behind the veil of what it was like to be married to him.

Three spouses? Huh? Who else was Rich married to other than Lauren and Leafwife? Who is she counting as the third spouse?

Has Logan popped up yet? Leafwife would not count her as a spouse.

 

[Marissa Moira]

The lesson? Don't fuck with weebs.

That's like saying don't fuck with bronies

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Absolutely, I mean what else could he have done after everyone knew he paid for a tranny to shit on him? I mean usually people have to pay someone to get shat on, he paid for being shat on.

 

[Marissa Moira]

The final pictures related to lowtax were pictures of his house. SA got famous when users drove by to take pictures of each other's house

Like poetry.

Chinkwife was his second wife, leafwife was his third. He married some little goonette real early on and she escaped quick enough not to breed any retard kids off him and became a successful career woman.

RIP.

[Amazing Criminal]

Damn, now I feel kind of bad that I made fun of his matted inside-of-a-vacuum hair. I contributed to his suicide.

 

[sethking]

Sorry for being completely out of the loop, but I wanted to ask - were the allegations of Lowtax abusing women ever confirmed? Or did it remain an allegation by his (possibly crazy) exes? Any link to some summary pastebin would be nice too.

 

[Cats]

Does anyone know if there was a will or bequestment, or possibly have any information related to which party may now be in possession of this beautiful figurine? I am prepared to make an offer.

 

[PercyFrancienCaramello]

Well at least he went from low tax, to no tax.

Idk, I don't even know who Loxtax is.

i referred to this video as a "suicide note" in a private chat.

welp.

Integral? They were engaged but had the epic internet break up before getting married. Was their another one after her that he was married to briefly? I thought Lauren was the first wife.

The downward spiral started ages ago, possibly all the way back in 2006 when he threw a fit over people calling him out for shilling mangosteens and including an Amazon affiliate link:

Everything got progressively worse for him after that, and he killed himself 15½ years later.

2006 I would say was the last year SA was a really big deal, by the end of the decade it seemed like it was somewhat niche, usurped by places like 4chan.

2006/2007 in general seemed like a transitionary period for the internet moving from the 90s and early 2000s era into a more modern net.

 

[Happy Fish]

You, early 2000's, full of hope and optimism: watching a video on an exciting new Internet video site, laughs at of how Eric Bauman sucks and Lowtax will bang Bauman's mom and brand his ass with Something Awful.

You, late 2021, your hope and optimism gone: reading on a New Zealand agricultural forum about how Lowtax, the alcoholic, drug-addicted, twice-divorced ex-owner of Something Awful, has died under unknown circumstances. Eric Bauman is still alive, still has his money and is not a drain on society or a constant source of drama and bullshit to the people around him.

Really makes you think.

Does feel like a piece of that old buccaneer spirit of the internet died.

 

[italianuploader4]

Looks like LowTax paid a High Price

 

[Ghostse]

Turns out my predictive software was more accurate than I knew.

I used some software to take those photos and extrapolate Lowtax at 50. I think the results are reasonably accurate.
