Wait.

A site with horrible, ancient spaghetti code, run by an ever-increasing population of extremely mentally ill vindictive psychopaths hangs onto everyone's credit card details.

That's... holy shit, how has that not been cracked yet?

more than likely Lowtax got tired of running his own payment processing and started using a 3rd party service, which is why ads are automated and chargebacks actually do something. But maybe that's ONLY for ads?

Lowtax should use some of that patreon money to pay for polygraph test to be administered to all moderators and admins. Videos of the sessions will be posted of course. We have to be certain the janitors are ideologically pure.

You’ve got a little boy. He shows you his hormone collection plus the stink ditch.
You’re watching television. Suddenly you realize it's time to dilate.
It’s your birthday. Someone gives you a redtext mocking your many gender identities.
You’re in a subforum scrolling along the posts when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a thread, it’s a troon making a suicide threat. You go in, you tell the OP to do a flip. The OP kicks the chair out, its eyes bulging out in the dim light, beating its legs trying to get air, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind about white people.
You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl. You show it to your trans wife. He likes it so much, he hangs himself off a bridge.
You become pregnant by a troon who runs off with your best friend, and you decide to check your privilege.
One more question: You're watching a stage play - a gender reassignment surgery is in progress. The surgeon is fashioning labia out of a section of the colon. The stench is overwhelming.

From what I have gathered, in addition to "literally who cares", due to all the buttmads in the early aughts trying to take down SA, Radium had the servers hardened and implemented pretty stringent InfoSec; database servers are firewalled so they can only talk to the webservers, the webservers backends are only accessible via a jumpbox that will only allow logins from certain IPs (looks like just Lowtax's IP if his previous whining is to believed)
For example, the admin jumpbox would probably be a good attack point, but its likely running SE linux since its just a term host, and its not clear what the IP or host would be. He probably has that maintained by his Colo, so no hope of Lowtax pillheading on maintenance and not patching.

All of this is why SA has a fucking crisis anytime anyone touches the base, or why FYAD can't be deleted.It also makes upgrades a nightmare, and why SA was having performance issues when it was at its peak - SA was not designed to scale up or scale out without a ton of work, and with the architect done (and as it was radium, I'm sure leaving EXCELLENT documentation) adding new nodes would have been an undertaking.

Edit:which isn't to say SA is unhackable, I'm pretty sure if you get through all the hoops the center is very moist and chewy. But to break the shell is well above script-kiddie level, and I'm sure if he was compromised his response woudl be "Well, ok gooftroop" and then just restore everything from backup.

Please tell me this thing isn't actually an EMT or paramedic (first pic). You should not be in charge of other people's lives if you yourself are on 20 different SSRIs and hormones, have probably been to a mental hospital, and have a 41% chance of killing yourself.

Lowtax seems to have gone back into a k-hole and stopped posting/publicly cucking under to troons for the day. Presumably because the mods/admins told him to shut the fuck up. Furries are outting themselves in the Trans Thread after that post about Furry Concentration Camp.
The literal state of Something Awful.
