What a fucking liar. He is now claiming that the forums cost him $24,000 a year to run.

So.....before he got this patreon money in April of 2019 how exactly was he paying this exorbitant forum burden? Magically generating the money he needs to live AND $24,000 to somehow heroically keep the forums running despite having no other income? Thank god the forums have lost hundreds of people since then so his burden has surely been lessened to only $2,000 a month.

Oh wait he outright admitted the forums pay for themselves 3 times over. It was documented in this thread. He just thought at the time that whining "It takes almost half the month for the forums to pay for themselves" was a devastating blow that people would sympathize with to get him more money. Now that he wants more money the forums were never revenue positive and he dug through trash for 20 years to put together enough aluminum cans to keep the forums open.

This is a step over the line of his usual lying by omission shit. Everyone willing to call him out with quotes of his own posts claiming that the forums pay for themselves, just not enough, is already banned by now.

Didn't he have a sticky on the forums at one time claiming it cost over $3,000 for server costs alone? He can't keep his lies straight. Fucking GRIFTER.
 
The forums hosting is actually much more expensive to run than a typical forum. I'm not saying it's expensive, it's just that because of the idiot spaghetti code it uses up a ton of bandwidth.

There are some interesting conversations about it in yospos sometimes, a lot of it is over my head though. Because of the way they had implemented the code and because every time they try to delete the search function goons have meltdowns, the server is working way harder than it should.

There's a reason no one has fixed it even though a lot of goons are coders. Everyone who was capable of fixing it looked under the hood and then saw what the pay was and moved on. If he moved to xenforo he would actually be saving tons of money after the initial investment.
 
Yeah the code is a horrible mish-mash of shit being stacked upon shit for years and it's a wonder the whole thing is even standing. Of course migrating to Xenforo would've been the smart move, like ten years ago, but that would've required work and we all know how Lowtax feels about that.
 
The more you think about it, the more it really hammers perspective down, doesn't it? This guy is such a massive manchild whining, crying, sniveling piece of shit.

For over 20 years, this self-entitled, egotistic motherfucker has sat on his ass, jerking off and doing fucking literally nothing but pursuing whatever gave him the biggest dopamine surge at any given time. Working, any self-improvement, is beneath him you see. He has never had to face any serious hardship or deal with any real challenge of character.

Suddenly, proving God exists in the face of Lowtax's righteous Dick Dorkins style atheism, his physical spine crumbles to dust to match his metaphorical one. He then has to confront the cognitive dissonance of the possibility that all these mean poopyheads from "the offsites" might have a point about some of the stuff they're saying, as his wife just fled their home while he was "out of town on uh, business, yeah that's it it was just business!" taking their kid with her, marking the second time someone who ostensibly got close enough to see what he's really like actually saw what he's really like and subsequently was horrified to the point she fled their home, taking the bunny rabbit and dog out of fear they'd starve to death if she didn't.

Then, and totally out of the blue, as he's been very very publicly telling the world what a fucking bitch his wife is and how he's going to hurt her in every way he can, bragging about how he has her immigration documents in a safe and being assured she's going to be deported immediately and he is going to be granted full custody and she will never see her baby daughter again, the fucking cunt bitch, she deserves it.

Wait, the fucking bitch has the nerve to try to raise a small, piddling amount of money to maybe not be homeless with their child as his control measures (preventing her from being allowed to possibly work or get a driver's license) ensured? This sends our very special Court-Order-Approved boy into a blind rage, and he must shut this down immediately. After apparently succeeding, he then gloats about how he is owed an apology from all the people suddenly shaking their heads in disbelief or leaving his forums because they now begin to clearly see what a piece of not-shit he is.

Doubling down, he is currently real assmad that after all this, the fucking asshole proles that he is above, the Fyadscist Nazis, are now reluctant to continue generously donating. The money these Nazis earned working stupid moron "jobs" like suckers, it belongs to him because he earned it, as he clearly believes based on the phrasing he uses;

1580646440372-png.1126673


"costing him" other people's money to the greatly exaggerated tune of 48 grand, well into a single person's middle class salary in a lot of the country. But not to worry, any day now these fucking Nazi scum will come back and repent and give him his hard-earned money for banning them, after he bans them again a few times for good measure and they keep paying ten dollars to re-register. After all, he is still adored by the people he sticks up so hard for, the dickless faggots who like to dress up and wear wigs and publicly insult him. But the only person who would talk to him IRL turned out to be a pedophile diapershitter freak, totally unprecedented in the history of SA. Now having absolutely no one with a genuine connection to IRL because his very special boy personality isn't immediately marking him as an utterly toxic piece of shit, at least he has his forums empire and hordes of adoring goons. Good job LowT!
 
He could have invested that money in stocks and continued to sit on his ass for another 20 years.

Like he had all that time he could have read about investing or bothered to do day trading.

To much effort when your core life sustenance is SAtreon. Who would have thought SA would have been burned to the ground by dudes in dresses $10 at a time. On the real, I hope they figure it out and put out the fire. Could he sell it? Could a buyer turn it into a profit? It would be something awful if Kiwi crowd sourced enough money to buy SA... and then fixed it.

instead of supporting lowtax consider supporting great internet creators like the mad at the internet internet podcast about the internet https://madattheinternet.com (not ran by lolcow llc)


If I seem salty it's because I am. It feels really bad that Lowtax's Patreon has as many subscribers as great Internet podcasts like Mad at the Internet has gross income. Lowtax does literally fucking nothing and somehow was blessed with $15,000 for it. It's dizzying to think how much $15k just dropped in my lap would fix.

If it's any consolation this Patreon is the last dying wheeze of SA's profitability. The site was a money printer and now he's got to hold his hat out and lick batteries for a fraction of what used to flow in.

On one hand, watching the patreon die is incredibly satisfying because it marks what could be the end of Lowtax's grifting, but on the other it means that his kids are probably going to be the ones suffering because he won't be able to pay support. Then again. Lol.
 
Because of the way they had implemented the code and because every time they try to delete the search function goons have meltdowns, the server is working way harder than it should.

Do they even use the search feature for anything besides looking to see if someone should be banned because they said something problematic 10 years ago?

[waah waaaah woe is me it's all everyone else's fault]

So declare bankruptcy you worthless cunt. I want two hilarious bankruptcies to laugh at at the same time, yours and DSP's. You're basically the same person after all.
 
What's hilarious to me is that LT wouldn't help his wife get documented, so I'm betting that, on paper, it was him who spent money on absolute worthless garbage nonstop. Probably from his "business" account (good going idiot). And even if he were telling the truth here, which let's be honest, he probably isn't, no one is going to believe him once they see hundreds of dollars worth of pies bought after his wife fled to a DV shelter.
 
There is/was some tiny goonstapo that manages to somehow wrangle some utility out of search and it's been a big reason the forum code couldn't be updated. Spergs needed to keep tabs on spergs. No idea how the fyad purge will have affected this.
