🪦 Deceased 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"

[AnOminous]

I wonder what LT did to make them cut ties with him.

Just be really boring on their show?

I cant wait for the inevitable Lowtax buys heroin and dies of a fentanyl hotspot saga to begin

Honestly, Rich seems pretty screwed right now. The SA money is spiraling to nothing at an incredible rate. If he even had money at this point though, knowing the hedonist he is, he'd probably just blow it on more ambien, boxed wine, and trips to meet young impressionable wild zoomer girls. His mom probably can't help him for much longer at this point. Selling the forums wouldn't do much anymore either, and would leave him without his primary source of income, regardless of how weakened it is. Gonna be interesting to see what he tries to get out of this situation.

He should go the Tyler Malka route. Keep SA, make registration free, and try to make money off ads.

There's still the problem of the userbase though. The troon platoon are comedic poison, but they have a vice-like grip over the site and its moderation. He should honestly just go for a Night of the Long Knives style purge, but who knows if even his patreon bottoming out is gonna be enough motivation for him to finally pull the trigger like people here have been recommending for years.

Hitler purged the SA to get rid of the worst of the sexual degenerates and communists. You couldn't do that on SA without literally getting rid of absolutely everyone.

This movie makes you stupid: The Something Awful documentary

In summer of 2004, over 300 goons from the Something Awful forums converged on Las Vegas to eat, drink, and be merry with people they only knew ... from the ...

Going to watch the whole thing but apparently LT got the idea for the name while working with Radium and Fragmaster(?) at Gamestop (2:28)

Wow, sounds like Logan was into some sick shit...



But hey, it was totally one-sided, right?

He would have to get rid of the current mods and install a few he hand picks. It would be fun to see shitlords come back to argue with the troons if they can’t be banned. Of course this takes effort so good luck with lowtax.

It was fairly amazing for 300 people to show up from an Internet thing at that time, but remember a few years later, DashCon was an absolute disaster with probably 1,000-1,500.

At this point I don't think people would pay another 10 bux to troll a dead forum of an asylum.

Easily the worst part about Lowtax's interview is just how fucking repetitive LowT is. Less than ten minutes into the thing, Dick has barely just finished introducing his audience to the guest and he's already used the whole "I've never been convicted" thing twice. His narcissistic ass also really likes to go on about how "Everyone seems to think I'm some genius crime mastermind who managed to overcome the law and get away with it every time".

Lol fuck no Rich. Nobody thinks you're a mastermind. We just see you as this bumbling idiot who can't stop himself from getting high off his ass and hitting any women dumb enough to stay with him, but keeps getting away with it because the US judicial system is so incompetent at dealing with domestic violence he could backhand his wife in front of a police officer and still not get a conviction.

 

[Vivacious]

Lowtax's chance to monetize the forum sailed years ago. He should just work on getting clean (lmao as if) and figuring out how to live sustainably off of his trust fund.

He should make it free.

I'm not saying he's fantastic here, but compare 2004 Lowtax to now. His speech, his tone/inflection. Complacency makes you gross, I guess.

(Edit: I'll probably watch most of this, I'm about 5 minutes in -- after Lowtax's "origin" speech. I find myself wondering if any of these people still post or if they've all been permabanned)

It's really strange listening to Lowtax talk about his sickness. Not only does he forget the name of it, "degenerative disc syndrome...uh...disorder", but also mispronounces herniation. Given how much of his online presence is devoted to complaints about his health, you'd think the issue would be on the tip of his tongue.

 

[GearProject20]

Man, this Lowtax interview is a mess. He sounds awful, like he had a date with the ambien walrus and boxed wine last night, and hasn't left the house in days.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

So, watching that video of the Dick show - I got a question... Why does Lowtax think acting pathetic and constantly talking about his problems will win people over? If anything, he should just reverse course drastically and be like "Fuck trannies. I'm going to ban them all and then I'm changing my forum to be straight up alt-right with the front page being non-stop pictures of Trump gloriously naked doing squats nonstop with praise on his meaty powerful thrusts."

I mean, this nigga could straight up have a brain tumor and people still wouldn't sympathize with the medical/domestic shit due to the funds going to a GTR and Gold Belly binge.

If I recall correctly before Emily there was artfag. Really fuzzy on the details of that one, another former mod I think.

Has every girl he dated since '99 been involved with SA in some way? What about Megan and Ashley?
