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"

$20,000 and I'll do the migration. I offered before. I like money.

Lowtax would just tell you to stop being so expensive and wait until someone from YOSPOS offers to do the job for free. Jeffo would probably do the same but he'd actually ask around for people who'd have the skills for it first.

Do you have $20,000 in GoldBelly pies and mangosteen drinks?

I once had a job where my predecessor was not only thoroughly inept, but even lazier than I was, and clung on like a leech for years until he was fired. He also earned nearly twice what I was paid, but I was still overpaid and a lazy asshole to boot. But it didn't matter, especially as it was an obscure, boring, but essential technical job that nobody else knew how to do, or even what was involved in doing it. So I sat on my ass all day, browsed the internet on my phone, even wrote a book at my desk without anyone noticing, but because I achieved massively better performance figures than him by doing stuff like turning up on time and actually answering my phone once in a while (things that were beyond my predecessor's capabilities, apparently), management thought I was a genius and I got paid an awful lot to do very little for several years until I was ready to move on.

This is the opportunity that Jeffery has been presented with. If he really did cash out of Bitcoin at the right time, that suggests that he understands money, risk, and investment, all things that Lowtax was clueless about. All Jeffrey has to do is start a new Patreon, maybe a GoFundMe to get the forums migrated or at least get the code fixed up, and actually spend the money on what he promises instead of pies and booze. All he has to do is post on the forums once in a while. All he has to do is launch some merch and ship it within 2 years of the orders. All he has to do is not beat his partners and try to get them deported. These are not high bars to clear. Most people could probably manage them. But Goons are used to Lowtax.

Now watch him fuck it up somehow. This is SA, after all.

This is very true. The bar for Jeffrey is not high, and he seems willing to share financial details to make things more transparent in the future. Just doing that alone will look like an improvement, even without jumping to a new platform immediately. He seems to have some business sense about him, which is way more than Richard. Goons will respond that and open up the wallets.

yeah but ask how well that went for the people who bought MySpace.

That would be Rupert Mudoch’s NewsCorp who sold it as a 400 million loss a five years later to another company who lost money on it.

Why bother migrating, when you can just keep jumping from one cheap eastern European country to the next? Not like you ever had ties with whatever place you lived in anyway?

Are you ESL or just a retard

I just assume everyone here is retarded, including myself. Great interview with Logan by the way, I just finished listening to it.

"You've more than earned a long vacation." LMFAO

More like a soma holiday, interrupted by his massive opioid shits.

A bit of both, I suppose. What I meant to say was: aren't you able in Europe, while being able to keep your US citizenship. A while ago you were asked something on the lines of "why do live in EU, while praising US so much?". Your response was "Europe is cheaper and living in America generally makes me feel upset"
Correct me, if I'm wrong

So...are we going back to the old SA? Ill re-reg if its not gonna be so full of woke bullshit

Are they going to mass ban the trannys and jew faced niggers? Or is it gonna be more of the same?

Again:
We make fun of Lowtax for being an absentee pillhead.
Lowtax hasn't been running shit for over a decade, excepting the occassional two-week period where he rouses himself from his benzo nap, closes the footporn tabs, and clumsily makes a unilateral decision.
Jeffery has been de facto running the forums for at least two years.

It is only going to get worse.

You don't buy a classic car, let alone a classic Ferrari, to impress anyone unless you're a complete idiot. You get something hella gaudy like a 812 Superfast in Rosso Scuderia or that mustard yellow color if you fancy buying yourself a "pussy magnet".

In my experience, you buy a drug dealer's 1970's chop-top landyacht off of police auction if you want a pussymobile.
If it wasn't for the poorly maintained v8 engine, you'd be able to hear the panties hitting pavement as you drive around town.

 

[AnOminous]

I'd say a lot of both you extra chromo homo.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Jeffery should have bought a boat, they're just as bad as an investment, but he could have probably managed to atleast have some fun with the boat.

All these people being pessimistic about Jeffery buying a forum. Have none of you wanted to experience the intoxicating feeling of total power, mortals?
