Considering some of the actual offensive shit on these boards for people to be this mad at our harmless little corner just because they don't find it funny is baffling. I just hope the place doesn't actually get deleted. I'd miss the thread and you guys.
Honestly it would suck if this thread got deleted, since i dont watch much detractor content on youtube and i prefer to read upon it here alongside you guys insight and it lets me digest info at my pace rather than sit through Doody style shit content or a detractor that just rehashes the same points in the same video. Of course there are good detractors with good videos, but i just cant be fucking bothee sometimes.
 
The perplexing thing is, that everything they said about DSP, you could say about another cow
Judging by the majority of the responses of that thread, it seems most of them want to have a subforum for their favorite cow. But I just failed to understand why this place needs to go in order for that to happen. If you just want a subforum for the Yanderedev or whatever degenerate you are fan of, just ask Null.

I wanted to respond to that post in the thread but I dropped it because there was no point. When does that thread ever get much action? From a brief glance there's some shit going on and a recent video, but even when they're talking about him diddling kids the thread is barely moving. You can't even compare it to this thread. It doesn't even compare to Fatrick's thread. It's deader than Lowtax's thread and he's actually dead.

He’s the kid that played during recess and said “actually no, you didn’t defeat me, I have the power of Godzilla, so you tagging me doesn’t count”.
"That guy didn't beat me, he just won"

Phil said that during a SF6 stream December 6th 2023.

DSP is a child and a spolied one at that. Last night he wasn't only being his own toxic self when talking about the other players.

He was angry at his chat pretty much from the get go.
It started with him berating them for complaining about ads running, telling them to "just watch the match and not complain about ads".

Kinda hard to watch the match if there are ads running, but what do I know I'm just a fake dog on the internet. And his pissy attitude towards chat continued the rest of the stream.

His mood seemed to be his usual after the BG3 stream so I have no idea what brought this pissy attitude out this stream.

Big Lowtax energy from the fag that runs this board.
Lowtax sat and watched his website turn into little fiefdoms he had no control over because he was too lazy to do anything about it. What you're seeing is the opposite. I've demodded all the mods for the board because at least one wants to create a splinter site. It's hard to trust people to take care of something that they don't like. I'll look into moderation later but right now there's no point.

I have put forward an enormous amount of effort to keep this site up and together for over a decade. It's hard to put into words exactly how much I've given up to try and give everyone a space to talk about people that might get suppressed or meddled with on any other platform. There's a reason why this site stays active despite Twitter and Discord existing and despite having an uptime of about 50% in 2023.

It is very insulting how many of you just openly resent the forum. You very obviously hate me, you hate the very few rules that I have in place, and even the mods jump at the opportunity to splinter the community. Usually the mods I pick are very motivated to grow and develop their interests on the site, so it's a painful realization that the people here are actively working against it.

It's also a painful realization to see that even users who have been here for 6+ years don't really consider themselves a part of a broader community. It's just this board, and they post here because they hate one dude. It doesn't seem to be about anything other than making sure that DSP is not happy. I feel like I've allowed myself and my patience to be used, and I've allowed something I've worked very hard to sustain and sacrificed a lot to protect to be used and abused by people who have zero love for it.

I am very grateful for the new users from Fishtank and BMJ. It's a breath of fresh air to see people who just want to watch trash TV on the Internet and throw popcorn at the screen together. It's so refreshing to see new users joining for areas of the site who are actually new users, and not just Pot of Greed or other retards joining and immediately posting in the DSP board to cause problems again.


For the future, I'm debating what to do. My goal is still to give people who actually enjoy talking about lolcows a place to post. What I don't want is to continue to allow a clique of people openly hostile to myself and the rest of the site an autonomous zone to exploit my work.

To be completely fair, Kiwi played a huge role in dismantling the SoK, because it was one of the few places that could not be easily raided and skewed by Fred's socks and cronies. And that was genuinely funny to watch. But now that it's bottomfeeder olympics, and a lot of infighting over who can make the most money off some fat retard who's not meeting their lolcow quota anymore, it just kinda sucks.

Idk, leaving it to a single thread might be best if you really don't wanna deal with mods.

Boards aren't realestate in that they're limited by space, so having a board is not the issue. I'm not sure how to better integrate this area of the site into the rest of the site and its ethos.

I tend to agree with most stuff you do with regards to the farms, Null, and appreciate all the shit you do to keep it running. That said, it doesn't seem right to punish this whole subforum for the actions of a few retards. Temp ban the people who are openly hostile and perma ban the a-loggers, but please don't smash up this whole little community of ours. It'd be no different than how all the places many of us come here to escape handle things.
 
Not to continually harp on the meltdown and deletion scare, but I do want to say that it's sad to see the owner of this site use the same rhetoric and rhetorical strategy to describe the DSP sub forum as others have used to describe KF in mainstream media channels. (And like others, I want to also say my piece and hate the PoP ban)

No question that the Comcast dude did something that raises legal questions and posted about it on KF. But that user doesn't represent KF much in the same way they don't represent the DSP sub forum.

I'de also like to say that because this happened in the sub forum doesn't mean the sub forum is the problem as there are flagrant ethical and legal questions all over this site. Just in recent news, the leak of hazbin hotel episodes 1 and 2 are hosted directly on KF without due critique (the legal question of fair use). My report, thinking the content should be adjusted at best to reflect more obvious critique, was rejected because the mod said they would wait for a dmca request first.

So when the leader comes in to say how bad the DSP sub forum is, it really feels like whatever the leader is pointing to in this sub forum is indicative of how they are begining to laud the larger laissez faire mentality that originally founded this forum and is more the reason for constantly hoping from dogshit host to dogshit host. Sure, trannies are the big shakers and movers for deplatforming KF, but if deer feeder would be proactive rather than reactive towards maintaining a reputable site in user opinion and in general (i.e. keep his nose clean from multiple lawsuits) then perhaps he would have a much better report with these larger companies.
 
I'm sorry about all this shit, guys. I don't really know what to say. I hope that we can just move on from this, but it's a hard pill to swallow, knowing that I won't be seeing some of my favorite users post here anymore. Logging onto this site feels different now.
The individuals reaction to all this was very extreme (And dsp like) to say the least. Gunna be a lot less fun around here now. Thanks for sticking up for everyone here and @agentproper too of course.

This post is a great example of what I mean in my difficulty talking to you. If I speak naturally and just call everyone faggots, I am jumped on by absolutely everyone. If I try to write properly and express my concerns, the replies accuse me of being anti-freedom and the enemy. I have never had any success talking to this group of people regardless of what I try. That's why I've usually delegated it to mods, but since the mods themselves want to break up the site now, I'm going to have to try and figure out what to do myself.

Nobody seems to care, but I'll again stress I have never had this issue except in brand new areas of the site with existing a-log communities. My difficulties in talking to people from DSP's community are ones I have talking to people who found the site yesterday and who only troll from private Discords without any rules.

Time for me to do what I said not to do. Anyways, I'll make the argument of integrating this into Internet Famous.

This thread doesn't get organic growth because nobody except people who are already following DSP comes into it. Most people looking for variety and are just casual users are (I imagine) just sitting in the more generalized sub-forums like Lolcows, Community Watch, etc. and don't usually come into the person specific subforums. They just want to pass some idle tine and pop into threads to gawk at a weirdo and then go back to scrolling. If you want new blood and a more natural DSP thread, you've got to get it into the casual circulation instead of having it off in its own corner of the site.
 
It's just this board, and they post here because they hate one dude. It doesn't seem to be about anything other than making sure that DSP is not happy
Well i guess im a retard who got duped by the alogs on this board because i dont notice this, and i never did.
To this day i dont know what we are doing or ever did to make sure DSP is not happy, outside of the comcast guy and bank leaker posting here without anyone knowing beforehand.
But you do you, tbh i think this board is already dead no matter what you do because of all the regular user bans and the restrictions on new posters, on top of the mods being removed, might as well kill it.

I still understand that you face a lot of problems and i still respect what you do, but its really sad how this all ended, or that this happened, i dont believe any of this had to happen, but now its done.

You can see it that way, but as someone who missed the whole scare because I don't check only DSPs subforum religiously, it comes off as reactionary at best and petty at worst.

Null, you speak of the hardships of keeping this site up specifically in terms of freedoms and transparency, but then you do "jump" on the entire subforum just as you say people are doing to you.

And while you may see yourself as speaking properly and naturally, that is very contrary to the actions You've taken in the last few days, is it not? I don't have issues with a discussion, but you didn't approach this as a discussion.
 
The thing I don't understand is you don't want retards posting illegal shit on this board but now we don't have mods to deal with it, very stupid in my opinion. Also I have not seen Clothes or Proper try to splinter the site, if you could provide proof instead of a baseless claim that would be great
Report button works fine. We have global mods.

Maybe one day people here will stop responding to literally everything I say as if I just make shit up.
