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"

[Molly White's Breast Milk]

Lowtax is still alive, he faked his death and moved to South America

Brazil, with all its trannies, would be heaven for him.

Since Lowtax is basically bones under six feet of dirt, I wonder what Radium's up to.
I hope (although I could be more than anything) that not working on the PHP spaghetti-code trashfire that was vBulletin 2 (and a few years since then) would have helped him improve his coding skills.

Have the years actually done anything or is he still grifting poor saps to write even more shitty code? Hell, I wonder if he's still a lolcow.

Radium is still a dirty Computer Toucher. And somehow he's Programming/Coding skills have gotten crazier/worse. Last i heard years ago he worked in some US Government Department in the IT sector.

Radium only got the position as "Code" Monkey on SA as him and LowT were friends in IRL before SA was created. Radium did the migration from UBB to VB as he was the only "Computer Toucher" LowTax knew. and eventually he started paying Radium for he's services.

Basically Radium did a course during High School and basically with SA he was out of he's depth and a lot of the stuff done he did through trial and error and studying php guides etc etc.

He used to post topics on the Vb forums back in the day and get help.

Pretty sure there is still a YT video were LowT actually talks about the whole Radium stuff. It was years before he was forced/sold the website.

Remember when he changed the credit card field in the database to an int because it would save MEGABYTES of disk space and didn't understand why this was a bad idea.

Now that the site is back and stable I can report that Rich Kyanka is still dead.

Where are the load-bearing slurs?

Oh no! How could I have forgotten? Wait, I know how to fix this.

$lowtax->setIsAFaggot(true);
$lowtax->setUnfunny(true);
$lowtax->setGooftroop(null);
$lowtax->setDead(true);

$lowtax->setGooftroop(null);

Someone is using the Gee-Troop slur! MODS?!

 

[awoo]

I didn't even know this guy Lowtax and was only vaguely aware of SA but reading about him makes me sad. Just knowing there are people who have had such shitty lives and he's probably one of millions with just as horrible lives.

Don't feel sorry for him, life threw him more opportunities than the vast majority of people ever get and he failed to do anything with any of them, instead he got drunk and high and abused his spouses. He could be sitting on fuck you money for him and his children had he put in any effort at all, instead he ate his own gun.

 

[retard strength]

Killed himself to avoid paying child support after trying to rapidly use up his SA sale money to avoid owing it in child support.

 

[whatever I feel like]

And with the benefit of hindsight, he probably sold the site off in the first place to avoid dealing with it in family court.

If he did that, it was stupid as hell, because it just converted an ongoing source of income that he could drag his heels about into a lump sum of money that could be outright seized. Courts are shit at dealing with assets of indeterminate value, but really good at seizing bank accounts.

 

[Hot Dog]

Lowtax serves as a cautionary tale about early success destroying you if you lack discipline and character. His true colors were always present and he revealed them slowly as the years moved on and people did as well.

It is sad to see someone wallow in their own hated and misery but by taking it out on other people the sympathy quickly goes away. Especially when he used his women as punching bags and children as pawns to make sympathy bucks. He never grew up because he wasn't forced to, momtax always bailed her little boy out. Owning a big house or getting married or even having children doesn't magically turn you into a responsible human being.

Lowtax wanted quick hits of dopamine and to do as little as possible while making excuses and riding on his flash in the pan success into the ground until he couldn't. He left behind two broken families and now fatherless children holding the bag. If anyone deserves sympathy, it's them.

He was a shitbag and a failure. Don't be like Lowtax.

Or in short, don't be a Dick.

It's like people who max out their credit cards right before they file for bankruptcy.

Judges have seen all this shit before. You haven't figured out the one weird way to cheat the system.

He would have been a lot smarter to keep SA. The finances are so fucked for reasons deliberate and accidental it would have taken years to unwind them.

Yeah but then there would have been a confrontation with the tranny jannies who were revolting (pun intended) and just giving people that shit for free when they said they donated to some trans bullshit. He didn't have it in him now, he didn't have it in him when that started first becoming a problem and he was less strung out and broken.

And then he could say he didn't have the money because it was stolen through no fault of his own. And they'd have some more shit to argue about. It would have been a far more effective way of playing the "fuck the bitch" game in court.
