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"

[The Polaroid Man]

Lowtax is burning in hell, together with Coach.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Richard Kyanka is 4 things:

1. Richard Kyanka is a retard;
2. Richard Kyanka is a faggot;
3. Richard Kyanka is a liar; and
4. Richard Kyanka is a piece of shit

 

[big pauper]

The latter. They raped the entire site.

the whole site is owned by jeffrey of yospos now and yospos is the tech shitposting forum. it was one of the better ones when i posted because it wasn't impenetrable to outsiders and it was still acceptable to make fun of people for being fags, but i guess it didn't survive the overton window purity spiral that happened to most liberal communities when trump was president

 

[Fully Eshay Skits Bruh V4]

RIP in peace Lowtax, press 1 for lowtax chat, or press 2 to rest in piss.

 

[asipasip]

Ah so he was murdered

 

[Stan]

What a fucking asshole, right until the end.

Yeah. He doesn’t spare a word for his kids, doesn’t spare more than a word to his parents despite the horrible awful thing he’s about to put them through, (one of them is actually dying, lowtax just feels like he is) but has a whole PS asking his parents to fuck over the court officials. It’s very self centered.

I do find one thing weird though. Dad tax took Rich to see a psychiatrist that day and the doc turned him away for having blood pressure that was very high. Why wasn’t the next step to take Rich to the emergency room? If his blood pressure was that dangerously high?

I’m hoping that’s the advice the psych doc gave and they just didn’t take it, opting to just go home instead. But heading to the ER would have prevented Lowtax from killing himself, at least in this specific crisis.

I hate how preventable suicides are in general and this one in particular. None of this had to happen.

It's fucking stupid and reprehensible. Don't kill yourself. I don't care what your religious stance is, but pretty much all of them agree that shit is retarded. Despite all their various bickering over the details, they all didn't agree upon that for no reason. It's because it fucks up everyone around you, it's the height of selfish nonsense.

Eh, dementia, ALS, Alzheimer’s, terminal cancer where the suffering is immense,…those all seem like valid reasons for an curtain call and you are doing your loved ones a favor in certain cases. I don’t want my kids or husband caring for me if I’m a drooling mindless shell that can’t care for themselves.

did, in fact, think of other people for once in his worthless life.
He killed himself in the bathtub for easy clean up and notified someone so he wouldn't be a rotting putrified mess.

He cared for his immediate family and didn’t want them further traumatized by this, so points for that. These were the only ppl that would have checked up on him.

lol what? This is not something that happens. A psychiatrist does not see a patient with high blood pressure and go "you need to leave". Was this maybe referencing that he refused to fill his Adderall which can raise blood pressure and the cop who wrote this didn't understand? I have never once heard of a psychiatrist refusing treatment because of high blood pressure. They are doctors and there to treat illness.

This is really weird and makes no sense. Psychiatrists don’t take blood pressure to know if it’s high or not. Maybe his dad took him to a psychiatrist and he walked in, pretended he spoke to someone, then told his dad this BS reason his couldn’t see the doctor?

At best if he told a psych he was going to kill himself he knew it was immediate psych hold and didn’t want to do that.

He's also not one particular thing:

1. Richard Kyanka is not paying child support.

And that's kind of based

"I wish I could've been less trusting enough?" What the fuck does that even mean? If you're gonna write a suicide letter try doing it well in advance and editing it so it makes sense, dumbass.

I think the answer was simple: Lowtax was lying.

Lowtax posted his "See ya on the flip side, Hermie" Discord message at 9:30am. His dad didn't drop him off at home until 10:00am so he was sending that message from his dad's car or from the doctor's office, depending on how long the journey home took. Lowtax had 100% made up his mind to off himself while in his dad's presence, probably after he opened the mail that morning and got the judgment against him. He didn't want to see the psychiatrist his dad was trying to take him to so he made up a bullshit excuse to get his boomer dad out of his hair and get home so he could gargle cordite mouthwash.

"I wish I could've been less trusting enough?" What the fuck does that even mean? If you're gonna write a suicide letter try doing it well in advance and editing it so it makes sense, dumbass.

You see it was that BITCH second wife. He trusted her! He trusted her so much that he stole her passport, hid it in his safe then refused to normalise her immigration paperwork so he could report her to ICE if she ever fled the house! Because he trusted her so much! And he trusted her to stay at home with his daughter with no food, no money and no transport while he flew across the country to fuck his 23-year-old BPD sidepiece! And he trusted her to be OK with him moving that sidepiece in with her because he'd have her deported if she said anything! Then, because he trusted her so much, the bitch FLED with his daughter to a domestic violence shelter! And it turned out that there are laws against holding your wife hostage like that and he couldn't get her deported! And he TRUSTED her, you see! Not since Spoony has there been such a BETRAAAYAAAAL.

At least he made sure the dog was okay.

Max Goldberg - Went to the trouble of modernizing his antiquated silly site so people can look back and remember pages of silly gifs paired with music. - Good Ending

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Lowtax died because of high tax.

You know, it was a rather sad letter until I got to the PS part, then it became silly.

Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka: industry pioneer, insufferable manchild.

I win! Knew that mother fucker used the meme gun.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, Lowtaxing ventilating himself with a Five-SeveN is old news I think. I'm fairly sure I read about it soon after the suicide.

What happend I think was during the obama election people on both sides bet that they account would get banned if the other sides guy one. You can pay $10 to get it unbanned. When obama won a large amount of righters were banned and people just did not care to pay to get the account back. This then lead the site being super left wing, Hbomber is from there.

After the election the political shitposting forum became an early spawning pool for tranny communists as well.

Lowtax eventually banned them after they kept causing visits from the Secret Service. At which point they migrated to Tumblr and Twitter.

Among Lowtax's many failings, his inability to moderate a sub forum also helped create the internet-borne tranny epidemic.

I like how even after Jeffrey took over it’s still running on what I’m guessing is some 2002 BBS. Like what it’s seemingly some Herculean task to archive the decrepit forum and port everyone over to a modern forum?

With all that said I have to of course remember the only “people” who would want to pay for SomethingAwful surely have horrendous mental illnesses and modernizing their shit forum would be mentally akin ransacking their home.

Can I just say too what a boring and mediocre suicide note? "I left food for the dog blah blah the court and women are after me!" fucking boring nigga.

I just want to know if the dog was OK and found a good home.

Inside the master bathroom, I observed a fully clothed white male laying in the bath tub with one half of the
shower doors open who was slightly sitting-up with his head laying back on top of a white towel. The males eyelids
were closed and observed to be very dark in color. The male had a large amount of blood emitting from his eyes, nose,
ear and mouth covering the majority of the lower right portion of his face then down his neck toward his chest. I
observed the male to be wearing a dark gray T-shirt, black pants and white socks. On the males lap in-between his
right and left hands, I observed a black semi-automatic handgun resting on his waist line. On the bottom of the bathtub
in-between the males legs, I observed a black touch-screen cellular phone. On the inside of the bathtub, several small
specks of blood spatter were observed as well as a small piece of tissue on the corner ledge.

I checked the house listing for the address and it must have been this bathroom?
