I don't think it's even the true believers keeping it going so much as the genuinely mentally ill. There was an episode last year where some Canuck nutcase known as Dare registered hundreds of accounts to post schizophrenic nonsense; this went on nonstop over a period of several months until I assume he ran out of whatever reserve of money he was using to do it. The hilarious part is the admins were powerless to actually stop this.

You know what, fuck it, SA and this cunt deserve each other.

Let her have her little fiefdom in Negrotown, doesn't make her any less likely to get pepper sprayed outside her four walls.

Something Sensitive were passing around a picture and she is the furthest thing from the way she portrays herself and has probably experienced as much racism as that fat white guy that said he was literally shaking over being called an uncle tom.

It would be fine if Snowsa Parks was raging against the machine on her own, you know create your identity and be obsessed with your perceived culture and struggle despite being a teenage suburban white bitch but as a moderator with zero checks and balances she makes it everyone else's problem. Even tossing actual black people out because she is too stupid to understand complex arguments and context and chimps out at the very thought of someone mentioning white people.

You guys are right, I phrased that in a fucked up way. Lowtax seems to be a good dad in the emotional and supportive sense, I don't doubt he loves his kids and does his best for them. Whether or not he's terrible at providing for them is another thing altogether that doesn't relate to his quality as a father and I crossed a line.

I will only post things are are confirmed by fact and aren't off topic from now on, like the fact that FAU is a rare yellowbellied bitch bird, known for its elusiveness and the copious trail of shit it leaves behind.

Don't apologize. If Lowtax was a good father, he would've said to himself (a decade ago):

"Ok, I had fun running this little website thingy, but now I have to man up and try to secure a stable career, even if it's difficult or demeaning and I don't really wanna do it and just wanna lay around on the couch.

But I will do it, because my children are worth it."

There's nothing wrong with running a website like SA to make a living. Lowtax didn't sell his site because it was making so much money in it's heyday and thought it would go on forever.

Can you imagine Lowtax in a real job with this attitude? Like, imagine any other small business owner responding this way to problems with their business and the sole support for their family.

It's no surprise that Lowtax melts down when people questions his parenting. If I knew my children needed scholarship for school despite the fact I own a business once valued at millions I'd feel like a fuck up as a parent too.

I'd say I hope he set money aside for them before but that would require the kind of basic ability to plan and reason Lowtax clearly lacks.

At one point supposedly Lowtax was teaching English in China or something as his actual job, but I have no idea how true that is now, if it ever was.
 
Are there any estimates on how much the site makes now?

For the record, I'm currently picturing a lighter skinned version of the nose ring'd bitch who interrupted Bernie Sanders

You know, it feels almost wrong to suggest given I'm opposed to the idea in general, but given they already have plenty of 'safe spaces' in there, maybe they should add some for republicans too and keep their liberal majority out. If they have a place to chat without getting dogpiled, then they can attract people that wouldn't have posted in D&D before and the debate and discussion can happen outside the designated safe zones.

It's completely possible (in theory) to have civil discussion without resorting to the idea of a 'safe space', but that obviously requires a clear vision with well defined rules and a communicative team of moderators, of which D&D is lacking in on all fronts.

Without those D&D happens: An echo chamber most of the time and anyone who is retarded enough to try to argue against the group think going on is probably a troll or arguing in bad faith, so what's the point?

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with running a website for a living. All I'm saying is he should've had a couple contingency plans. Back in the early days he'd always rag on Efront and the get-rich-quick attitude that people had in the dot com bubble boom of the late 90's.

Then in 05-06, he goes all "Hyuck! I'm making some sawbucks here! Nothing better to wipe my ass with!"

You'd think the one person that can understand the fickle nature of trying to monetize a website, It'll be lowtax.

No offense to the new goons here, but a lot of SA style names are all 'lol, so zany, so random' and they just don't really do it for me.
This is kind of a shitpost but I wanted to hit the green button, so there it is.

I think the knock on him is that he wasn't running the website. He handed it over to some complete zilches who have slowly destroyed it over the past decade. He chose making Let's Play videos with Shmorky over his only source of income. In 5 years he'll have to get a McJob or something to support his kids due to his laziness and incompetence over the last decade.
