With Lowtax retweeting it and putting up a few posts.

I think it's either official or I have been deceived.
I hope he deletes it
business is business guys
Awesome
Will be interesting if this is true. I mean, not too long ago it was sold to some Japanese guy, right?
lmao why would lowtax want the anime offshoot moot created because no-one wanted that shit on SA in the first place
I guess Hiro wasnt pleased with the American knockoff of his own site.
Should have sold it to Trump

...and why should we delete an entire site thats been around for many years, and caters to tons of interests
Welp that explains why GBS was deleted, they would have went apeshit.
I think Lowtax is a really cool candidate for taking over 4Chan. The alternatives were people that didn't even relate to the website or the internet at all, right? Or at least not in a way that didn't sound like it would straight up start intervening or doing shady shit?
hope fp doesn't get sold to neogaf

Okay fair enough, delete just /b/ then

I can get behind that.
pretty sure lowtax is just fucking around

Oh and just have all those people flood to the other boards? What a great idea! Do you even know what a containmemt board is?
registration fee when
[QUOTE=Kylel999;51091730]Okay fair enough, delete just /b/ then[/QUOTE]
/b/, much like /mlp/ and /pol/, are containment boards, if you delete them, the cancer will spread.
[QUOTE=Kylel999;51091730]Okay fair enough, delete just /b/ then[/QUOTE]
No, you need shit holes like that to contain the shit otherwise it would spread to the rest of the site. It would be like if fast threads and rust subforum were deleted.
It's like removing toilets and expecting people to just stop taking shits. They're not going to stop taking shits, they're just going to take shits in public like they do in India and China
How the fuck did Lowtax even find the money to buy anything ? I thought he was beyond broke.

Yeah cause Helldump and all the other shitty admin behavior was totally legit, right.
Those people obviously [i]deserved it[/i]
100% hoax, the 4chan tweet is completely unrelated
So, he's going to to own both a site that he's constantly losing money on maintaining (SA), and a site that doesn't really make any money at all (4chan)?
Does Lowtax just have a fetish for losing money or something?
Not that this might even be true. Lowtax is always one to joke around, and I don't see either side (SA/4chan) being happy with this decision.
Can't wait for another "mass exodus" to 8chan.

Can't wait to see this play every time you try to go to a board.
