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"

This guy feels the same way about Something Awful, why he feels that way is a total mystery since Lowtax let the forum turn into complete trash, but I can't find fault in wanting to save a forum you've had enjoyment interacting on.

I see it as no different than taking the time and resources to make Private Servers for defunct video games.

That may be accurate for some goons, but the majority I've seen in discords say things like:
"I have nowhere else to go!"
"I BELONG on SA!"
"I've been posting on SA for x years, where else will I go?!"

This is why some of them get so offended at being probed as well. They can't wait 6 hours to post, how can they fight CHUDS without posting?! They're addicted and terminally online. It has nothing to do with SA at all, they've just adhered to SA with a false sense of superiority.

It's more than just enjoying the site, it's a part of their identity now, and this is the sort of crowd that really obsesses over and navelgazes about their identity. "SA goon" is a part of them and they get angry about it being challenged.
It's like the difference between someone who watches the odd anime and someone who calls themselves an otaku, or someone who plays video games and someone who calls themselves a gamer. It's a part of who they are, in place of a personality or sense of self.

I’m curious why anyone would want to buy the site.
I get that he’s invested in the forum community as deluded as that is but the site itself doesn’t seem sustainable. Richard beat the life out of the golden goose.
You’re betting a lot on the site and presumably a SA Patreon being marketable after this. And that’s assuming Richard doesn’t stick you with any business debts or actually sells.
My prediction is that Richard rides this out to see if he can spin it and still profit, finds out he can’t so sells the site with the debts and the SA goes under in less than a year.

My guess is that there's probably some decent money hiding there.

SA paid for itself for it's entire existence (even including the down times) and Lowtax, until recently, was making at least $140,000 a year for doing literally nothing.

Jeff (if he's smart) might be trying to make the ResetERA move - make an easy forum with a pre-installed userbase, get it to a point where it moderates itself, and then milk it for cash. If he maintains the minimum effort (which in SA's case is simply "do not beat all of your wives and girlfriends for 20 years") and hides the totals, he can start stacking paper.

Lowtax is a literal wife-beating, unlikable, pillhead and he still made - even at the worst of times - $140,000/year from SA - imagine what someone who isn't a complete drooling retard could milk them for.

I dunno, is utter delusion a problem with this girls generation? Do they not understand... reality? There is now a tonne of evidence that she's a complete nutso addict who destroys anything she touches. An employer doing even two minutes of due diligence will discover it. She is utterly unemployable in the mainstream corporate world. And yet... her LinkedIn is still up like she's some big girl businesswoman. Logan, you can become, like, a tattoo artist or a prostitute. Maaaybe, you could pivot into social work. Goldman Sachs is NOT going to hire you. Shit, a normal retail bank is not going to hire you.

It is a problem with everyone since forever, and it effects both genders. The difference is that if you are male, you learn consequences for your delusions (and even then the speed and clarity of you learning that lesson as dropped off). Not all girls learn this lesson. Logan has been coddled by society and her parents and taught any negative consequences to her actions are the fault of society and patriarchy as she is a beautiful, strong, and brave woman who can do no wrong.

You can find plenty of men males at or near Logan's level of psychopathy, but as they don't have entire segments on the evening news explaining how nothing bad that happens to them is their fault (the guys have to go find youtubers and podcasts for that) they have at least some awareness of others and that actions have long term consequences.

You watch, this crazy shit being sent out by Logan is going to be the beginning of Lowtax's redemption arc and he's going to become a regular memeber of the Dick Show's rogues gallery just like Chris the Kiwi, Vito or Crippled Jesus.

What if this was part of the rebranding strategy all along? Create entertaining internet drama and milk it? That's basically what the Dick Show is.
