SA will probably be a memory by the end of 2020. Definitely not much later than that. By the time Lowtax figures out he's fucked and tries to sell it, the brand will be so toxic that no one will want it.
It's already so fucked, nobody would want it. I don't think I'd take it even if it were handed to me for free, because I really don't think there's a single way to turn a profit on it.
Nobody ever talks about SA outside of discussions on where old internet things came from, and the userbase consists of the absolute nadir of the internet. Nobody under the age of 25 could care less about joining SA, and the users that aren't troons still remaining tend to stick to their little threads that could be shutdown due to wrongthink any minute now. You're not making a dime off of either group.
If I were forced to take control of all of SA, I'd just shut it down and use the hosting contracts, server space, etc. to open up a brand new comedy site with a new forum. The SA IP is less than worthless not because it's unknown, but it's negative in the minds of so many. SA had an outside reputation similar to Kiwi Farms (albeit not nearly as extreme) back in the day, so it may as well just be put out to pasture at this point.
There's a distinct need for good comedy these days. So many comedy troupes are woke as fuck and just tell the same old political jokes over and over, and everyone outside of their circles fucking hates that. Hell, CollegeHumor just shut down recently, and they were fairly successful several years ago. There's a damn good reason why comedy channels like Internet Historian are 100% free of political bullshit, and sitting at millions and millions of subscribers, with thousands of comments and likes. More than ever before, we need good comedy to escape from the rampant insanity plaguing all of Christendom at the moment.
And yet, the reputation of Something Awful is currently less than worthless, because the entire notion of it being a comedy website has been dashed against the rocks because some aggressive crossdressing faggots kept throwing fits, and Lowtax caved because his balls are so far gone that scientists believe they've somehow developed a new way to quantum tunnel out of his scrotum.
Just fucking close the boards, register something like poopsock.fun and get some halfway decent wrters on board. Shit, even I'd be happy to contribute a few articles to a politically neutral comedy website, free of charge.
