@Master’s Farewell Thread
@Master – March 4, 2025Hey, guys.
I’ve got some big news. After years of running this site, I’ve decided to move on. I’ve sold Looksmax.org. The new owner is @Rabbi Goldberg Silverstein, a businessman and expert in aesthetics.
I know this might be hard to hear, but hear me out:
- The site’s not shutting down. It’s evolving, and it’s going to get better.
- New features are coming. Expect AI-powered tools, expert advice from dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons, and more professional-level self-improvement content.
- Yes, some things are changing. The new owner has a different vision, and we have to respect that.
Let’s see what happens next.
– Master
The Aftermath: The New Rules
It didn’t take long for the changes to become clear.Within 24 hours of @Master’s announcement, @Rabbi Goldberg Silverstein posted a thread titled: “The Future of Looksmax.org”. The tone was different—professional, focused on self-improvement, and inclusive in a way that many didn’t expect.
@Rabbi Goldberg Silverstein – New Site Guidelines
Shalom, friends.
Looksmaxing is about self-improvement, not hate. If we want this community to be truly about becoming the best versions of ourselves, we need to embrace a new standard.
NEW RULES (Effective Immediately):
1. No homophobia or transphobia. Everyone is welcome here to improve themselves, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. 2. No racism. We are all unique and beautiful in our own ways. Hate speech based on race will not be tolerated. 3. No antisemitism. This is a place for self-improvement, not hatred. Any anti-Jewish rhetoric will result in an instant ban. 4. No misogyny. Women are welcome to discuss beauty and self-improvement here. There will be no tolerance for hatred against any group.
Enforcement: Anyone who violates these rules will be permanently banned from the forum.The Community’s Reactions
The announcement sparked immediate controversy.Some long-time users didn’t take kindly to the changes. They felt that Looksmax.org was being turned into something they didn’t recognize, a platform that catered to progressive ideals instead of the raw, no-holds-barred discussions that had once defined it.
@ey88:
“The jews again"
@anthony111553:
“Master, you KFC addicted nigger ruined the site”
@swt:
“This is it. The site that once had real discussions is now nothing more than a progressive echo chamber. How do we get our site back?”
@TheBiggestIncelEver:
“Looksmax was supposed to be a place for people to come together and share harsh truths. Now it's going to be a place for feel-good stories and no real debate. Thanks, Master.”
The New Wave of Members
Within days, Looksmax.org transformed. The influx of new members—many of whom identified as LGBTQ+, women, or progressive thinkers—was undeniable. The forums that had once been dominated by right-wing, heterosexual males now saw a much more diverse audience. Topics on skin care, makeup, and gender inclusivity began popping up in every thread.New Thread:
“Beauty and Self-Improvement for All Genders”
“How Looksmaxing Can Be Inclusive”
“Breaking Barriers: Beauty and Gender Fluidity”What had been a niche community of right-wing, male-dominated aesthetics discussions was suddenly a much broader, inclusive space. The new rules, especially the focus on inclusivity, had drawn in a very different crowd—one that didn’t always share the same views as the forum’s original members.
@Master Watches from the Sidelines
From a private account, @Master watched as the site he had built slowly evolved into something else entirely. For the first time in years, he felt a sense of detachment. The community had outgrown him, and the money he’d made from selling the site had allowed him to step away from the chaos.While some of the old members were furious, @Master couldn’t help but feel a small sense of relief. Looksmax.org was no longer his responsibility.
