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"

Now, before I say this, I remind you I understand who we are talking about so I do actually know why (lazy addict) but....

I don't know why he doesn't do the static archive of older content. You could still preserve post histories, etc in the static archive data by just mapping userIDs. It would take a little work and everything would be a bit fucky for a few months to a year after cut over, but you would have stopped digging. You could even have a "posts older than 9/11/20 have been found. Display?" and sell access to "The Something Awful Confederate Museum" as yet another upcharge.

Hell, you could ease that bump by getting seeder data. Set up something to harvest all posts for say 3-4 months, and just auto create them in the live data assigned to the right users. Even if SA's backend code is irredeemably fucked, just make a scraper and put everything into a new database.

But of course in addition to Lowtax being a lazy addict whos system admin skills have not been sharpened by two decades on ambien, doing that would reset forum activity for the subforums and expose just how dead & gay SA is now.

edit:

Did Lowtax force Logan to have an abortion?

Whoever called crying pregnancy, time to claim your prize.
 
Logan checked KF to make sure her FB post was posted here, removed post and is now loudly announcing she’s never had an abortion (which is the best way to make ppl think you’ve never had one, a public FB post announcing it, apropos of nothing.)

She must have gotten frustrated with all the posts about forum migration and goldbelly sucking up her oxygen.
 
Lowtax should just nuke the entire SA database along with the forums, the admins, the troons, and the post counts. Seal the deal with a fresh install of XenForo with free registration. Find some pol tards or reddit refugees to be the new mod team, make it a free speech sanctuary. Then the forums will be funny again and Lowtax will have content to steal for the front page again. It will be just like 2001 all over again.
Low-T can’t even be bothered to log into the forums as it is, anything more is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too much effort for him.

Users from irl vulnerable communities might not have the extra $10 needed to check if the person they are talking to about a video game cheat code might have ever said something *-phobic back in 2003. This is classist.
 
This is one of those 50/50 things. It could be true or it could be crazy bitch stirring the pot. You never know with actual terrible people.
Since the goons have picked their side in this stupid Jerry Springer slapfight they’ll take it as gospel regardless of the context, regardless of where it’s posted, and regardless of Logan’s mental illness and chronic pathological dishonesty. She’s trying to stir up another goon riot to crash Richard’s patreon even further, and I suspect she’ll succeed because goons are incredibly fucking gullible and easily angered. Hell, Jeffrey could be in on this as a way to drive down SA’s sale price; I wouldn’t put it past any of these lunatics.

The honeymoon is over and the bunny is boiling.
 
Or she's stirring the pot because she knows people will speculate and think even less of Lowtax when all is said and done.
"Honest to a fault" lmao

I mean, tbf "Make incidenary post, wait 5 minutes for post to be archived, delete post, cry about the internet bullies posting words you didn't mean while the damage gets done to the target's reputation as things take a life of their own" would be a pretty viable tactic right now.

FTFY
Lowtax has to respond with his own vagueposting, it's the only way to retain his honor
