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"

One last goon rush, it seems. To the report button on Patreon.

Yeah, but you can also get there by just saying "hey I do database work, I can take a look at yours if you'd like - for free of course". That's been every SA Forum Admin post radium, in fact. Jeffrey, ZDR, that other guy who I forgot all basically got in this way.

radium almost belongs in the other category, except he fucked Lowtax *after* gaining admin rights.

I disagree - Lowtax fucked himself there too.

"I'm a CEO interviewing for a dedicated DB/Systems Administrator - should I learn about what the job is/does so can better select a candidate or partner with someone who does? Nah, fuck it, how hard could it be?"

I know I say it literally all the time but SA is 20 years old - Lowtax probably could have flipped through "Microsoft Access and/or SQL for dummies" across that time and learned himself a skill that would be vital for his business.

Seems like less of a 'disagree,' and more of an, 'also...' to me!
 
Imagine making over $7,000 a month and not even be able to invest a dime into your nearly-entirely internet business?

The "investing into the business" was actually a separate fundraiser (moving SA to Xenforo) - which raised IIRC $20,000 which also vanished. So more than just the Patreon money, and the regular business income wasn't invested.

I suppose you're right - but Radium didn't seem like a bad guy to me. He didn't seem majorly talented but he did seem like he was doing his best and not deliberately just fucking Lowtax out of money for fun.

All things considered - SomethingAwful has never been actually hacked or compromised as far as I can remember, so something was set up correctly.

Lowtax spent the forum migration money on his back taxes and other “bills”.

That buys a lot of expensive cakes and opiods, damn.
$80 cakes are to LowT what Maker's Mark is to Ethan Ralph.
Gluttony really is a hell of a sin, also, what's the deal with benzodiazepine abuse giving people this hobbo eraserhead look?

who are you again?
i hate how snarky and smug these oversocialised motherfuckers are, does he need to tell you who he is or be a power-user to demand you to have basic accountability? No, he fucking doesn't, we live in a day and age in which people can anonymously communicate with figures of power and with an egalitarian system of justice (at least in intention) deal with it, you're not above it.
 
It's funny to look at Burt's pre-mod post status. Just a normal catch-phrasing suck-ass same as any other GBS denizen. Then his personality shifts to that smug wiseass bully attitude bullshit subsequent to making mod. Psychologists that are fascinated with the Stanford Prison Experiment would probably have a blast with data mined from the posting habits of mods before and after they were promoted.

Burt's a cunt.
