Bigot Brigade Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

Not only that but they were in on the CWC trolling bandwagon until the trans revolt. Then history was rewritten and they alawys loved and protected their sister.

SA had a CWC thread for a while but they gassed it after a few months, IIRC.

Chris was partially discovered by SA in the first place. Here's their original thread from 2007: http://web.archive.org/web/20071107...adid=2667671&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

An example that's often given is Lowtax mocking some online-support thing/personal webpage stuff (so early 00s) of women who lost their children, either in labor or shortly after birth. I think he coined the phrase "Your poison womb is making heaven too fucking crowded", directed at a woman who had a bunch of still births. Also goons started making joke gifs about 9/11 before it all was over, that shit that was made in that thread is still all over the internet. An insane contrast to the super serious and mod-enforced "please let it be a cis white guy" and "actually, islam is the religion of peace!1!!" shit you see when some rando somewhere gets stabbed by somebody who shouted allah akbar. Early SA didn't take anything really all that serious and that's what made it so fun to talk about everything and anything. You don't really have that in most parts of the internet anymore these days. It really became serious business.

And there was of course Dan Lirette and the zombaby.

And at least 3 long-ass threads on Kevin Havens the trapezoid-mouthed dollfucker.

Never knew you guys were time travelers from the future.

Whatever happened to the days when people got probated for backseat modding?

That was EPG, here's the article: http://www.somethingawful.com/news/were-all-gonna/

Oh, you mean like tribute.wmv?

The doll humper made me sign up. Nowadays a Havens thread would be gassed in minutes, since the mentally ill sperg is now a "woman".

 

[BleedingGumsGriffy]

the old school goons are gone purged by attrition or wisely staying to their subs and not drawing attention to themselves

When the QCS crybaby crew eventually runs out of wrongthinkers in the main forums to run off, they will move onto the smaller ones. The purge culture is just too ingrained there.

Lowtax is currently streaming "erotic" horror games on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwOyCxy5xvg
(Link should automatically become the stream archive when he ends it.)

I didn't watch any of it because I was busy at work, but figured some of you might find it potentially interesting. Only 174 people were watching it when I hopped on to grab the link just now.

Lowtax just current-year'd someone for saying "faggot" and banned them:

 

[AmpleApricots]

Didn't he once say himself that stuff like faggot is ok? Or am I mixing things up again?

Lowtax pandering to the SJW crowd might be the smartest thing he's done in a long time tho. That's the people signing his paycheck now, whether he likes it or not.

Over under on how long before his FYAD faggot buddies get him unbanned?

I give it less than a week.

I can't even keep track of his stupid double-standards anymore. I know that he used to use the word himself a lot, but Lowtax being a hypocrite is just Lowtax being Lowtax.

He made an announcement that Retard, Tranny and Faggot were now allowed because a lot of people were complaining about the new tumblrina mod giving out long probations for "The R Word" and FAU/ZDR approving them.

That was when ZDR threatened to quit publicly, said he had one foot out the door already and Lowtax immediately backed down. It's documented in this thread somewhere. I seem to remember someone saying that ZDR had plans to take SA mainstream somehow and that's why he was thought policing the site so hard. He was pissed all of his work to turn SA into whatever family friendly game review/let's play website or whatever was being destroyed by Lowtax allowing bad words so he cucked Lowtax into submission.

 

[AmpleApricots]

That's somehow even more pathetic than just flip-flopping by himself to appease the tumblr crowd. Good job, LowT. He might as well transition now, he obviously lost his balls already years ago.

 

[jace821]

Zdr really showed lowtax by not leaving and continuing the run his business for free while lowtax collects all the money. He’s only stuck around because he’s hoping lowtax fucks up he can try to make his own board and take the sa users like what happened with neogaf/resetera

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

Almost no one actually likes zdr, though.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

ZDR threw a tantrum and then didn’t fix the forums for months claiming he was sick or busy with work. He knows he can hold the forums hostage because lowtax is desperate to keep the lights on.

edit: I remember when people didn’t sit around on SA, word and tone policing. They just posted funny shit and dunked on each other. Most of the forums today is exactly just that, which is another reason why it’s dying/boring as shit.

 

[ChevroletBlackboard]

In the event that we see a NeoGAF 2.0 event where ZDR or FAU takes the users to another forum, do you think Lowtax will pull a Tyler Malka and do a 180 on SA? Part of me imagines that if such an event were to happen, it would be what finally causes SA to remove the paywall.

I think that Lowtax is too much of a spineless cuck to take the heat that would be sent his way if he did that. His tweets are so blatant in how desperate he is to try and be "woke," it's pathetic.
