He created Something Awful
Something Awful was probably one of 3 sites that spawned the internet culture of the late 90s through mid 00s, the others being Newgrounds and event eBaum's World.
He banned m00t.
m00t went to create 4chan.
Sometime along the way he literally boxed Uwe Boll because Boll couldn't handle Lotax's criticisms of his video game movies.
He also got into a long running feud with conservative political pundit The Ultimate Warrior from WWF.
He's a female beating drunk who as had 3 divorces.
Now an hero'd because he lost his iPod Shuffle.
Oh,and because of him creating SA the forum users brought us the first crowd sourced porn, SWAP.avi and introduced the western world to Japanese train sexual molestation video games such as RapeLay.
Sounds more of a loser who received his well deserved Darwin award to me.
Yeah he had to sell the site last year due to his last divorce. He had been letting the staff run it for years anyway, just collecting the $5 $10 for paid forum accounts and whatever advertising he was getting. The reports of suicide aren't confirmed, but...
Unfortunate a life is lost. Even a sorry one..
