If Kiwi Farms was a thing in the 1990's, which lolcow threads would be the most active? - Keeping this thing going...

[Nod Flenders]

Tonya Harding would definitely get a thread.

 

[Shrugcarpet]

Freddie Mercury decline in health watch.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

1996 Taiwan Straits Crisis

The 1991 closing of US Military bases in Philippines

And a thread about the Vizconde Massacre

And the ongoing trial of that massacre that went on for the better part of the decade

 

[Helium Bubble]

Vanilla Ice.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

Other posts:

WWF Steroid Scandal

And the Handover of Hong Kong

 

[Open Window Maniac]

The Branch Davidians vs ATF thread would be a pretty fun read.

 

[MistressCaridad]

I'm surprised no one has said Tammy Faye Bakker (may her heavily make-uped soul rest in peace).

Probably would end up with a general televangelist thread and maybe individual featured threads for the big names like Jim and Tammy Faye, Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland, and Robert Tilton (Tilton’s thread would probably contain the early versions of the Farting Preacher videos lmao)

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

We'd also have a long miserable GINO(Godzilla In Name Only) thread. Lots of angry Godzilla fans venting out on the 98 Godzilla movie.


And a Chrono Trigger vs Final Fantasy 7 thread. Who's the better hero, Crono or Cloud? Who's most devious Magus or Sephiroth?

 

[Dave.]

But what would the site layout look like?

But what would the site layout look like?

I’d say it would be a strange mix of the garish colors of the 80s blending with the grungy look of the alternative scene of the mid 90s like some transition of styles

 

[ACE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM]

Magic Johnson AIDS reveal
Atlanta Olympics Bombing
Montreal Screwjob
Axl Rose probably would've had a big thread

 

[tehpope]

There would be a Howard Stern appreciation thread. The Cleveland Funeral would be a big happening.

Spoiler: Background info on the Cleveland funeral

During Stern's expansion into major markets, he'd have these funerals for his competition. The Cleveland one was the last I believe. The major issue that happened was an engineer from their rival station physically cut the wires to Stern's satellite feed. Apparently before that, they hijacked the feed and cursed on the air. If you're were on the east coast, this was all happening live on the air. They had to use a cell phone at one point to continue the broadcast. The tapes of the show are out there and are wild.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

A thread about the WTO protest

And Mr. Anderson would be our meme

 

[Captain Manning]

If Kiwifarms were a thing in the 90s it probably wouldn't be a website, but rather a Usenet group called alt.lolcows (or something like that).

Web 1.0 was shit for forums like this. Forums set up like this is what helped kill Usenet.

Agree on Derek Smart, BTW. That guy was a legend on Usenet. And by legend, I mean utterly insane.

 

[Well Intentioned]

Klebold and Harris.
Joe Lieberman.
Tipper Gore.

 

[Done Goofed]

Boy band fandom instead of kpop stans
Lou pearlman would eventually get a thread

Tipper gore / violent video game happenings thread

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

An entire thread of the Montreal Screwjob

 

[toilet_rainbow]

Fanfic cows: Seconding David Gonterman. Maybe Cori Falls, too.

Y2K doom posters and preppers probably would've gotten a community watch thread.
