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"

This is truer than you know. In the screencaps I have, he does not know what the citizenship status of his daughter is among other things. He gets other details wrong, too. Whether he is lying or doesn't remember, I can't say. But in at least one case, if he was lying, the truth would have served him better, so I'm leaning toward, "doesn't remember."

Put up or shut up. You can't even use the excuse of 'oooh I'm just not comfortable with sharing more, cwoss my heart' anymore, considering you just fucking told us what's in the caps.

If he's right about Ashli relinquishing her Canadian passport in order to apply for US citizenship, then whether Sloane holds Canadian citizenship by descent in addition to holding US citizenship by birth isn't clear cut.

Something Sensitive did a lot of research into Ashli when she first came on the scene. She was a hot mess then and she's still a hot mess now. It would be wise to remember that she's not someone you know in person and get to see interact with others in real life.

His daughter would be American because I don’t think leaf wife returned to Canada to give birth. I’m not sure how he couldn’t know that, but ok. Maybe leaf wife filled out the paperwork to get the kid dual citizenship? Idk but the daughter would still be an American citizen by birth and by her father’s citizenship.

Weird his wife doesn’t have a DL after being in the USA all these years. How do you live in Kansas, with a child, and not drive?

If he's right about Ashli relinquishing her Canadian passport in order to apply for US citizenship, then whether Sloane holds Canadian citizenship by descent in addition to holding US citizenship by birth isn't clear cut.

Why would she have to relinquish her Canadian passport? You can be a dual citizen of both countries. I wonder why she would have been eager for citizenship instead of just permanent residency? I mean the only difference is you can vote.

If she doesn’t have a passport it’s because she lost it or it’s expired - she didn’t turn it over to the US govt.

Ashlii would have to do some paperwork to apply for dual Canadian citizenship for Sloane. If she hasn’t bothered to get a DL I can’t see her getting all the documents in order for her daughter to have Canadian citizenship, but who knows.

SA was always overrated. Fuck your lame in-jokes

Helldump was fun, like a proto-Kiwi Farms. And GBS and FYAD generated some good stuff for the Photoshop Phriday and MSPaints and story threads, and the occasional really good CYOA or ARG project. The problem was they'd all get run into the ground until they weren't funny or interesting any more, and when that was where almost all the front page content came from (after a few years and the regular contributors that Lowtax actually paid had left or been embroiled in drama of their own), the whole site got stale.

The internet got overrun with oversensitive faggots. And said Web 1.0 site owners were stupid enough to go along.

I miss Web 1.0 (and the early years of 2.0). It was like the wild west. It was great.

I agree that the barrier to entry was lower then too.



I think Rob Malda from Slashdot did okay(ish) too. He got out when the getting was good.

Web 1.0 you say?

I wish we had toxxing here so this faggot could get banned for constantly posting I HAVE SCREENSHOTS GUYS I KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!!! HONEST!!!!! yet never posting anything

 

[AnOminous]

Now that the internet is inexorably woven in with myriad other professions full of people who actually know What The Fuck They're Doing, being the weirdo counterculture fuckstick who paid attention in high school computer class and read some books on Java doesn't cut it anymore.

I don't think he even did the reading a few books part. Has he ever had any technical skills? Hasn't he always farmed out all the technical stuff to brain-dead do it for frees in return for nothing but status on his dead gay comedy forum?

Never posting anything? I guess you missed my post a few pages back.

But, I tell you what, since it triggers you, I won't mention anything I'm not posting a photo of, OK?

I mean, this wasn't exactly a BOMBSHELL, and if you need photographic evidence to know that Lowtax's brain doesn't work right, well I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Thumb Butler]

Has he ever had any technical skills?

No, he seems to be totally clueless.

 

[LullerDerbyRollin]

It sounds like they were still living together, and he said they hadn't got around to consulting lawyers, so he's being disingenuous when he says they are "in the middle of a divorce".

You would think after going through even one divorce Lowturd would know to lock the money. Yo, what if the money wasn't stolen and it's instead hush money?

 

[Zaryiu]

I wonder if we'll see Null in a similar situation in 10 or so years.

Well given that a lot of big site owners have been revealed to be who they actually are instead of who they project themselves to be this decade I can see the possibility exist based on existing patterns

 

[Thumb Butler]

I don't think this has been posted?

What is it with people who were successful Web 1.0 site owners turning into such disasters?

Charging $10 to register to post on a site with microtransactions isn't going to keep it alive when the internet will just go to other websites that don't require $10 to sign up. Oh look you want to view old posts, set an avatar, and whatnot? You gotta pay more for this as well.

SomethingAwful requiring $10 to sign up might have worked when SomethingAwful was the trendiest site on the internet. Now SomethingAwful is a has-been site, it's death accelerated by the catlady troons who run the site. The only other forums I've seen that require paid memberships are third world warez forums.

Eventually the supply of $10 bills dried up and Lowtax went from driving a nice GT-R and living in a big house to having his wife take the kids.

Now, there was a legendary Web 1.0 site. I don't rightly know why it eventually shut down. Hopefully the owner didn't troon out or something.

If you're gonna be a bitch about it, you might as well take it to Reddit.

On the subject of immigration papers - VAWA (The Violence Against Women Act) has provisions for granting permanent residency to women who have US citizen spouses or children and who have been victims of domestic abuse. The abuse angle might just be a way for her to cut ties with Lowtax but remain in the US where her alimony and child support bux will go farther than in Canada (especially in a place like Kansas).

I suppose it's debatable whether that's better or worse than ResetERA's extreme vetting bullshit. At least Lowtax makes troons pay to shit up his fourms. OTOH, Cerium's business model seems to be more sustainable (or at least that's what Null claims).

I'll give Kyanka credit for one thing: He showed up for his fight. That makes him better than Tonkasaw. Not that that's exactly a glowing endorsement.

There used to be a weeb version of SA called OtakuBooty, that also had a dating angle. $20 a year for membership. It's still up, but I don't know how well trafficked it is. The front page stopped updating in 2016.
