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"

[Autistic Joe]

Richard probably signed some “exhibition” fight contract, which would be where his weak argument that it was some sort of spectacle jerkoff kayfabe fight with whoopie cushions, water squirting flowers, and comically oversized boxing gloves would come from. Richard was trying to convince himself that he signed up for one of those inflatable sumo suit fights, and got his ass unfairly beat.

Not gonna lie, the "whoopie cushions and comically-oversized boxing gloves" version sounds pretty entertaining. Would probably be a better fight than Lowtax vs. Boll anyway.

You have the right to agree to mutual combat (within limits) in many places. Otherwise boxing would be illegal. You're generally viewed as assuming the risk of engaging in combat sports, or at least what's customary for the sport.

There is a huge difference between a sanctioned boxing match, a sparring match, and an illegal boxing match.

If the contract was for a boxing match, it gets expensive, requiring medical screenings, ring side doctors, license etc. The big reason so many opening matches will exist on fight card is to try and save money.

Sparring sessions, obvious the conditions are different. You don't have the necessary legal requirements, under the expectation that the participants are not actually fighting Lowtax effectively acts like the bout went down like the sparring scene in "Million Dollar Baby" where numerous people would be facing criminal charges if it occurred in real life, especially if it was recorded like the Uwe sessions.

Correct me if I am wrong, Lowtax never went to the doctor after this sparring session right?

If Uwe went into that session and people suspected he was headhunting, not only would the German authorities go after him, he would have been blacklisted from boxing gyms like that Charlie Z idiot.

I haven't actually seen the contract, but from the fact they recorded and broadcast it, it seems pretty likely they went through whatever motions were necessary that they didn't get arrested for it. I believe it was sponsored by GoldenPalace.com which did that kind of thing all the time.

Someone on YouTube made a Lowtax documentary.

It gives a detailed and even handed view. It talks about the beginings, his love life, the boxing match, mangosteen, and Shmorky. It also uses Earthbound music, and the fades between scenes give me an MDE vibe. I give it Goldbelly cookies out of 5.

That video should be added to the OP so people can watch it instead of reading thousands of pages spread across several threads.

The video is solid, and includes some farms screenshots, any chance of putting it in the OP @Null?

That is pretty solid, and good call on the transitions. I didn't know some of the stuff in there.

Also literally clipping posts Lowtax made in this thread, hah.

I'm so hard by the fact that that screenshow of Balki Way or whatever his username was getting banned and starting the Mangosteen shit is mine, which I had Archives access to and screenshotted and saved before Lowtax shortly deleted it from the archives. It's always the same screenshot and I know it's mine due to the slightly lazy extra cropping on the bottom and the right. I took that only surviving screenshot. Whenever you see it, look to the stars with a twinkle in your eye and think of me.

Good thing Lowtax literally FYAD'd

Their boxing match took place in 2006 in Vancouver, British Columbia. British Columbia's athletic commission didn't even begin regulating amateur boxing until 2012.

I am a moron. For some reason I thought it took place in Munich.

Thank you for the clarification.

The segment about the office closure around the 22-minute mark isn't quite accurate. The photo of him passed out on the couch was from before that event. When I attended the office closure he was awake, though stumbly and slurred and kind of desperately trying to be entertaining.

Going over the rest of the video, though, it's pretty well done. Oh, and have a based youtube comment:

 

[RapidUnplannedDisassembly]

Good video, but oof at just putting Logan Day there as 'long-time fan' at face value. She wasn't part of the forums until right around Lowtax's Utah sexcursion, she would've been barely coping with puberty during the site's peak (when people were still signing up as teenagers if they were going to be legitimate 'long time fans'), and the past decade of SA's 'content' certainly isn't anything to earn anyone's new loyalty.

Bitch was a gold digger from the start.

The part about Billy "Wicked" Wilson really stood out to me. It's shocking that Lowtax could watch this guy fall down into this hole he couldn't get out of, and was so emotionally affected he wrote a letter telling Billy that he and others loved him, but would end up falling into the exact same hole, right down to committing suicide at the end of it all. It's weirdly poetic.

The point being is that even if you are an idiot, a person taking advantage of you can't write up a legal document that supercedes your basic legal rights and protection.

Otherwise, there would be psychopaths writing up legal documents to turn mentally disabled people into slaves.

That's already legal.

The term sheltered workshop refers to an organization or environment that employs people with disabilities separately from others

So would that make us a "Sheltered Forum"?

I can’t help wondering how Lowtax’s lawyer knew about him unaliving himself so quickly. Did he shoot himself while they were on the phone? Did Momtax find him first? I want the terrible details, dammit

My assumption would be neighbors heard the gunshot, called the cops, and info reached the lawyer from there

Sorry if this merits me a late rating, but the thing about his wife being a Christian and Lowtax being a literal fedora tipping Atheist, I kind of wonder about that. I know it's true; Rich was on here bitching about having to leave the house during Bible study/prayer groups, wasn't he? I know in the whirlwind of the collapse of that marriage he was whining about it somewhere. Did she not realize he was a neckbeard when it came to spiritual matters, or just "not care", or think she could "fix" him, or what? We'll never know.
