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"

Wouldn't it be a great idea if goons could pay even more money to fuck with each other/the forums even more? You bet it would!

Ideas for new things to buy on Something Awful - The Something Awful Forums

Hell, even their wordfilter is a kludge; if someone posts the word “rape” then it gets deepfiltered to “surprise sex” and then after the page load, a bit of javascript activates to change “surprise sex” to “chomp wad.” Try it yourself, just F5 a page where you can find the phrase “chomp wad” and watch for the words to shift.

tl;dr if and when this gal turns vindictive, Richard’s bunny is gonna fuckin’ boil.

Word filter fuckery you say? Great idea!

Also, the forums are not for sale, they are priceless:

Edit 2: Ah, shit. This should all be in the SA Drama thread. I get the two mixed up. It seems they're on about something else right now though.

If they meant that, they would go back to mocking troons and the other mentally broken little shits who are now the only people left on them.

I'm sure Logan will definitely take her admin job seriously and responsibly and totally not go on banning sprees whenever she's feeling manic or falsely perceives she's been even the tiniest bit slighted by someone. And I'm sure when the breakup goes down she'll handle it gracefully and maturely and definitely won't fuck up the forums 9 ways from Sunday out of a spiteful BPD abandonment meltdown. I don't see how this could possibly be a bad decision.

Even the SIMPs are going to get tired of blowing 10 bux over and over again eventually. Yeah, this is a great move for THE BRAND. LowT has gotten away with more godawful decisions than anyone has a right to, but damn LowT have you set yourself up for a fucking over that you will not be able to unfuck yourself from. And I've got the popcorn on standby.

Lol he just passes admin rights to his forum to anyone that lets him toss a snot in them. I'm just waiting at this point for the pregnancy announce.

You think this time LowT will wise up and start using a rubber? Who am I kidding, of course he won't. The child hasn't even been conceived yet and I already feel bad for it. At least the first 3 kids had good moms. The next kid doesn't stand a chance.

I remember when the news broke that Shmorky was a pedo, and LowT made an old school style SA mock thread about him and posted some of the photoshops we were making in the Shmorky thread over here. But then goons got incredibly upset over Shmorky being misgendered, the mocking of a 'transgender body', and posting content from 'that NAZI forum!' and LowT had a moment of clarity where he said "What the fuck, guys? This is the kind of funny ass mocking we used to do. What happened to us?" I think that was the turning point when LowT realized that Rome was burning and he was the unwitting Nero of a festering troon cesspool that would never be restored to its glory days.

Funnily enough, I think the last old school mock thread SA made was when LowT made that thread about my pre-full dental reconstruction teeth. Very telling that goons jumped right on that and far less of them took umbrage with it than mocking an actual pedophile. It did end hilariously with that one admin getting disgusted with LowT, quitting, and taking a chunk of the forum coding with him, though. Also funny when I eventually posted my post-reconstruction teeth in it and a bunch of goons chimped out and threatened to beat me up IRL. SA has become the people it used to mock.

This is always a good time to remind everyone that goons donated $20,000+ for Lowtax to migrate the forums to Xenforo, which Richard blew on himself instead.

Rich banned me himself twice on the same page because I said the xenforo migration wasnt going to happen. I would not be the least surprised if he was too fucked up to tell accounts apart at the time, but I was surprised that the two bans didn't cancel each other out

It’s amazing he has Bogan asking for ideas to improve the forum when the only one that’s needed, matters and includes all the bells and whistles goons (or any forum users in 2020) ask for, is Xenforo and Lowtax has twice defrauded goons out of the money to do the update and never followed through on it. (Obviously changing current forum culture to resemble anything comedic is a lost cause.)

You can only laugh at goons if they are stupid enough to give any money to Low-T a third time for updates he will never do. Bogan seems to think goons will happily flush money down the drain again for promises of improvements.

If he made them moderators in return for donations he'd be set for life. SA troons are the kind of people who would do free work that they have to pay for in return for power over other losers on reddit.

A monthly mod auction, where everybody paypals money to Lowtax and the five biggest donors get modded for the following month. Everybody else is promised that they’ll get their money back, but it was already spent on pies.

What the fuck is that goon on, front page "revitalized"? That's the wrong verb and the wrongest tense. The front page looks the fucking same, and I felt no draw to click on a single article.

Because he’s submitted some of the terribly unfunny articles (for free) used on the front page. Obviously using such contributions have totally revitalized the dead gay front page, said shitty writer is just the only one who has noticed, or will ever notice, the revitalized front page.

But Bogan finally found a way to get WK (besides fucking Lowtax) on SA, publish their shitty writing to the front page.

“great comedic content”

:story:

She’s right, but not for the reasons she intended. Her being made admin is like pissing on the ashes after Richard set the dumpster on fire by catering to troons and getting rid of FYAD.

So... why is it someone who's primary task is renovating the front page & brand image, should have administrative / censor rights to the forums? It really looks like he just gave her the rights because she's his piece of ass, since she's pretty much got no tenure as a recognized community member.
"In order to improve the front page, I totally need to be able to ban anyone I want on your message boards, oh and everyone will HAVE to respect me and it'll totally squash the 'homewrecker' gossip if you deputize me right?"
