Is this true? Without an account you can't see FYAD so I don't know if they posted about it there.

Everyone on Twitter is saying Jim's dead. Too widespread for a joke. Damn. I appreciated Jim just taking the mockery on the chin even after corsair made him into a supermeme. Didn't stop him posting. Never saw him say or do anything I associate with the worst of SA or FYAD, and he was the subject of some of the best stuff So long, Jim.

"Former Planet Quake poster makes Portal of Evil spin-off site, forums go on to be infamous for 6-9 years before slow-mo imploding for another 15" is an interesting footnote in a larger chapter about the internet. You'd probably get more mileage out of moot or the reddit guys.

I would argue that he isn't even worth a footnote - he's just the guy who started the site. Most of Something Awful's footnote-worthy shennanigans were things that Lowtax had no part in and actively disliked. They were things his writers and forums users did instead and any successes they had were in 0 part due to Lowtax.

He was permbanned several months ago for calling Jeffrey of YOSPOS a nigger. 🙃

Does anyone know what he died of? I know he had epilepsy, but that usually doesn't kill people.

Was it COVID?

Maybe it was a suicide??? U know the faggy rulez these days. "NOOOOO YOU CAN'T SAY THEY KILLED THEMSELVES THAT'LL PRESS THE REMOTE CONTROL AND MAKE THOUSANDS OF DEPRESSED BI TRANNY TEENS DO IT TO THEMSELVES"

If he killed himself I hope he did it in a cool way :(
