Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

Why is SA losing money and users, it is a mystery

How is that particular post even remotely offensive? It's incredibly mild.

R guyovich is pretty open about his metal illness

I like how that poster didnt even break a rule let me rephrase that they were too lazy to invent a rule to break just like Yug who was finally driven off for as FAU put "being a bad poster"

It's not, R. Guyovich admitted that it isn't. He's just mad with power.

EDIT: Also, holy shit. The site's Alexa number doubled in three months.

For those unfamiliar with Alexa, this means that the site went from being the 5000th most popular site on the internet to the 10,500th most popular in three months. I don't know what caused this but it's been a long time coming.

I hope lowtax has hoarded enough funbucks, because it looks like the ride may be over soon. No hard feelings though, my 10bux was well spent, not sure how many others can say the same.

Boy I sure hope the next episode of Gaming Garbage rakes in the bucks because Low T's dead guy forum is on the verge of being kill.

low tax should stream and just read super chats

24k a year really isn't much considering he's made 2MM on SA registrations alone. One really surprising thing I noticed checking the user stats just now: SA now has around a 12% ban rate. That might not seem important, but the ban rate has always hovered around 9% for over a decade. I guess bans have gotten even more out of hand since I stopped paying attention SA some time last year, because that's some serious making up for lost time, given the fact that most of those accounts are inactive.

Sudden drops for legacy sites with no particular controversy usually means something like Google changing their advertising or pagerank algorithm. In other words, changing them to reflect the reality of what 2018 people actually want to see when they search for things. It's uhh, not outdated bulletin boards, pseudonymous identities, paid entry fees, and overmoderation by a crew of extremely isolated idiosyncratic political activists with very little actual real world support for any of their positions.

you know it dawned on me, I remember the eve threads from like 2006/7 never even joined. Those decade old banner ads were never a problem did the even goons put them back in rotation or did someone finally notice them?

Ether way if those complaining and the mods just ignored the ads or better let just let the word faggot go, then they would not have a kiwifarms ad linking to this thread.

What a lovely day on somethingawful.com!

... oh wait.

I got to call out Lowtax as a vile specimen of a human being in the Mandy thread. That was well worth the ban, and the 10 bucks I paid in 2007.

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

You know, if you buy an ad and it gets removed prematurely, it's likely you could successfully contest the payment with your credit card company. The terms for ads are very bare bones and inspecific, after all.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

The ads fiasco was extremely funny because Lowtax continues to make bad decisions based on feedback from people who contribute nothing to the forums. I mean absolutely nothing.

Botany doesn’t contribute financially to the forums and neither do any of the idiots in the chimp cage forum.

@Null Look what you did.

"Why would SA advertise a forum for 'doxxing' people???"

All I hear nonstop from any stream/etc is how poor lowtax is all the time. Does rich have insane tax debt or something?

 

[northstar747]

Nigga he dont work he has a ex wife, and current wife (who doesnt work) and a couple of kids.

2 K a month is great if its you eating raman

 

[Incredible Crisis]

Clearly to reach the heights of Lowtaxland, Null needs to charge $20 for an account here. And $40 if you want to be unbanned.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

In the old days lowtax would have just banned people for complaining about the ads.

I hope all those people who bought ads did chargebacks just to further fuck him over.
