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"

Part of what made SA popular, too, was the community. Not only was it the only site that didn't look like a shitty geocities site, but you also had a forum and could interact with people. It was really the first online humor community.

I always wondered what happened to DocEvil. He was king of FYAD for a bit and actually funny sometimes. The Smash Mouth thread in GBS was pretty great and then when it became IRL Jon was just there by himself with his phone and Smash Mouth and Guy Fiery ended up making fun of him. At least there was a charity fundraiser out of it. I've never really been on Twitter, anyone remember what happened to him there?

DocEvil was my favorite. He was the best on Weekend Web

All I remember was that he was an early days Weird Twitter guy and kinda just faded away after the "smash mouth eat the eggs" thing and Dril more or less doing the same kind of shitposting but better

I agree, and this was prized in the early days. There was a wider community of subversive actually funny content with the whole SA/OMM/PoE/Seanbaby crowd, and most of the early goons (who got in before the paywall) were active on all these sites. So there was actually a really good feeling of community.

But also that style of humor died off and Rich just...never moved on.

LowT always liked to act like some pompous asshole because he never "sold out". But he did. Instead of selling out to some big corporation for a multimillion dollar sale, he sold out to the lowest common denominator of Internet users, and for dirt cheap! Goldbelly, Barefoot, Oxys, BPD pussy, tranny feet, and meat logs to be exact.

I have some off-SA eulogies that were written more like SA posts. Most of the authors never hated the guy but are being honest. Lowtax would have LOVED some of the jokes, if they weren't about him. Indeed, sad that he'll never be able to read these and throw fits about them.

I hate giving Alice the satisfaction because any attention is good attention for a personality disorder, but

That dead egged cunt void burger is probably dancing on his grave. I know a lot of users here are doing that too but I was as much of a fan as one could stand of lowtax until the end. I was hoping he could get his shit together but after he sold the site, I knew it was over. I thought Gaming Garbage was still funny, expect when he would go on whiny rants about how much his life sucks and 'woe is me'. His podcast 'Murder the Internet' was funny as fuck. It was two pill popping drunks rambling at each other about nonsensical bullshit. But again, that was far too much hassle for Rich. I'm in the minority here as an actual fan but this confirms that if you cross the troon mafia, you either flee the country or join the 41%.

All he had to do was tell the troons to go fuck themselves, keep his site, and do even the slightest amount of work to make it better. Which would have involved banning a bunch of utterly toxic troons who everyone there who isn't one hates.

I didn't hate Lowtax or even dislike him until he started posting about having his wife charged with KIDNAPPING on his Facebook.

That was such a sick fucking tactic from an absolute piece of shit. He had abandoned her and the entire family to go fuck some Mormon BPD cokewhore. What was she supposed to do? Just throw the kid out in the street? He called this "kidnapping."

What an absolute turd he was from cradle to grave. I'm glad he's dead.

What sucks most is losing my favorite cow.

For as long as i can remember i knew lowtax. I knew of him in 1998..he has always been a part of the internet.

They say you die three times. First time is when you actually die. Second is when they bury or cremate your remains. The third is when your name is said for the last time. You wait to transition beyond in a grand waiting room. You know all these faces because you've heard their names bellow through history. Most people die the third time a century after they pass. Only those who left an impact, for good or ill, deserve to lie in wait, in that waiting room, praying for the bliss of sweet oblivion.

Lowtax is waiting next to true tyrants, cults of personalities, heroes, villains, and your loved ones. What will become of him in 100 years? Will people remember the time he got blown the fuck out by a trash B movie director? How about the mangosteen scam? He is not remembered fondly even by goons. In time, history will forget even that SA existed. All that will be, and maybe not even this kindness is that he was a big fan of Byron Looper.

lowtax is my hero (im going to kill myself)

Remember it's down the road, not across t...ah, you already know this joke.

Don't kill yourself. Live to go out eating summer sausage suggestively to 20 people.

Gaming Garbage Patreon is currently showing as under review. I expect that's the first step towards it being closed.

RICH "LOWTAX" KYANKA IS OFFLINE AND PUSHING PINE

It will always baffle my mind how lowtax was the right age at the right time and place to take advantage of the dotcom bubble and web2.0 and yet he squandered both. By the time of 2.0 SA was already a big place and some of the users there were well connected, and yet instead of investing on facebook when it was 3 guys fapping on a dorm lowtax was doing...........fuck all? even the broke ass faggot from napster saw the opportunity, what was lowtax doing at the time?

The same things he was doing right up until he vaccinated himself against life. He honestly thought being a zany dipshit could paper over glaring faults about himself and that he could coast through life with that same zany dipshit persona. Having a shitload of maladjusted hangers-on didn't help, but he was too much of a dipshit to realize they weren't sticking around forever.

That Trevor Walker eulogy is a damn fine one. We're all dirtbags here and we shouldn't forget it.

They say you die three times.

A true man dies only once. A worm, like Lowtax, died every single day.

I forget the source, I think it's Shakespeare or some shit.

I looked it up, yes, it's Shakespeare.

CAESAR

Cowards die many times before their deaths. The brave experience death only once. Of all the strange things I’ve ever heard, it seems most strange to me that men fear death, given that death, which can’t be avoided, will come whenever it wants.

This is really just a convoluted way of saying lmao Lowtax is still dead, what a dumb dead bastard, all he had to do was not be a complete pussy and he'd still be alive.

 

[Eddie Kessler]

I came here to see if he'd blown his head off yet. I actually read the whole thread.
Been an interesting few days.
Sniff ghoul feet in hell, you worthless faggot bum.

 

[AnOminous]

My favorite part of this thread is it's about a dude who blew his brains out, and there isn't even a single post in it expressing so much as an iota of sympathy for this worthless bastard.

It is very sad that whoever tries to sell that house will have to deal with the property values declining after a violent suicide. And in this flush market!

And just to underscore the original point in my post, people have more sympathy for whatever random real estate agent has to sell the house he died in than the scumbag Kyanka himself.

It's a rental in bumfuck Missouri, I reckon worse than that has happened in it.

 

[Sabrina]

He didn't own that house; he hasn't owned one since shortly after he married Ashley. There's no "estate" even besides the $92k the courts garnished from him before he could blow even that on tranny hookers and pills. The families will get social security death benefits instead of child support. RIP you gigantic asshole

 

[AnOminous]

Note, this was his last public appearance. This is how he went out.

This is how he ended his public life. Lmao what a complete fag.
