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

I hope you didn't pay $700 for it, I would have felt so ripped off. You could get a semi-decent PC at the time for not much more than that.

You couldn't even get a shitty 386 clone for $700 in 1993, you wouldn't see anything decent for less than a grand until the late 90's and only because the dotcom bubble pushed demand up so there was overproduction.

PCs weren't exactly like they are now when it comes to gaming at that time. While they'd get ports of popular titles, they all usually played like dogshit.

People have forgotten how bad PC gaming used to be, it was a miracle when things working like intended. I swear, I had this pre-USB joystick and I could never get it to work properly.

Maryanne 'Loafhead' Kehoe for sure. A Usenet lolcow from the mid 90s onwards. In fact, a whole load of the alt.showbiz.gossip regulars who began to think of themselves as actual internet celebrities - sad sacks the lot of them. Prime pickings there.

The minor bit players in the OJ saga that were huge at the time and all but forgotten now.

Monica Lewinsky (who actually seems really cool to be fair) and the Clinton saga in general.

Waco/Heaven's Gate cults.

Madge, obviously. A perennial favourite for shitposting about.

Kurt Cobain. The whole Kurt and Courtney saga in fact.

Jacko and his alleged victims.

The tiresome and lame Marilyn Manson I suppose (we Brits were a bit non-plussed and 'meh' about the shtick even if the music was ok).

Yer random school shooter dweebs.

Us Brits would have been wanging on about Lena Zavaroni - star of the 70s but was still making headlines as our very own anorexia poster girl, James (now Lauren) Harries' return on 'Wogan', David Icke and his turquoise shellsuit, Diana, Jill Dando (though I guess that would be focused more on Barry George), Freddie Mercury Death Watch, the original TV documentary troon Julia Grant, Fred n Rose!!! There's loads.

Any British Usenet TV groupsters of the 90s will probably remember Mike Corley. He was a cult legend. Chris Tarrant was a MI5 stooge who used to threaten Mike with coded messages whilst presenting Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

I know I'm missing someone really, really obvious in this list... EDIT: Remembered who I was thinking of - Matt Drudge, pig fucker way before David Cameron. May as well shove Harry Knowles in too, he was a piece of lardo shit way before the "clit" review.

A thread about this odd movie from the Philippines called Home Sic Home about two Filipinos faking a marriage to stay in the US
Melanie hates Berto after a series of disastrous encounters until he saves her from thugs in the United States. Berto agrees to marry Melanie so she can stay in the country, but they must stay together all the time to fool authorities or risk deportation.

And it's questionable content

And they even did this

I'm probably late with this, but there would almost certainly be a whole section of the site dedicated to the various sorts of crazy evangelical christian (alongside other sorts of moral and religious conservatives, but the latter would be a distinct minority) types that were all over the internet at the time.

A lot of the fearmongering over the new millennium would (including the y2k computer bug) be heavily featured in various threads there, alongside the various typical moral and/or religious conservative topics that you'd expect. Abortion, gays/lesbians/bisexuals, sex-related topics in general, stuff about video games, dungeons and dragons, (bit of an old meme by that point but there were still people going on about it at the time) "satanic" messages in music, leftover hysteria from the satanic panic in the 80s to early 90s, general bitching about modern music, modern culture, modern everything as being the handiwork of the devil or something similarly asinine, and also that stuff about the "mark of the beast" or whatever else that the bible-thumping types had been going on about since the 70s at least.

Shit would have been lit. The nineties were the last hurrah of the religious right, and the show was; in retrospect, spectacular.

Not to mention the PTC groups ragging on WWE at the time.

Quite a few of the school shooters of the later years (remember there were like 4-5 instances prior to Columbine).

Given our luck, one or two of them happen to be posters here and we get heat for it.

The NBA thread would be nonstop whining about Jordan and Chicago. I imagine Pippen's attempts to leave the organization would merit its own megathread.

Zoomers will never understand how it was impossible to get away from Michael Jordan in the 90s. No matter what you do, where you go, how little you cared about basketball, he was everywhere. I wanna say his ubiquity was close to Trump levels.

That bald motherfucker and his tongue were practically on my cafeteria napkins growing up, that's how ubiquitous he was.

Kato Kaelin - OJ's pool boy larping as an actor.

John Wayne Bobbitt - Half-cocked man turned pornstar.

Tonya Harding - White trash ice queen.

Amy Fischer/Joe Buttafuoco - A combination of the two above.

Heaven's Gate - First digital cult.

Joe Lieberman - Video games need a ratings board!

Why do i consistently see people claiming that Kurt Cobain was a lolcow? He barely said anything aside from worbling about heroin in his music and the occasional short hand interview where basically nothing was said aside from what bands he liked, he was kinda just a boring junkie in his personal life, granted, a very talented junkie that made amazing music.

Also club kids would have a thread along with the guy from party monster.
