I'm getting too old for this shit.

[InsolentGaylord]

So what now? There must be some alternative if Nulls wants to step down.

CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY SHIRT NOW

It really drives home how purposeless our generation of young adults is, is the point.

Alternatively, we on this site are all old men tut-tutting about the youths of today like every other generation of old men.

Seriously, fucking get over yourself lmao

Obviously I've had fun gawking at weirdos or I wouldn't be here at all, but there's a tremendous amount of faggotry in this thread over how grand and noble a place this that I think people need a bit more perspective.

Plot twist: They already got him and all this whining is a (((suicide))) note

the media would have a field day with that

Not like this helps but 9chan is fucking awful on iPhones. It's so fucking hard to navigate anything and photos are full screen all time. I know it's nature of the beast but that isn't helping.

lol why do you need a phone version?

Can I have a link to 9chan? I can't find it anywhere.

Maybe something like this would help at least with monetization: https://locals.com/

As someone eloquently put it in another thread, at this point in time, it's easier to literally launder drug money, than it is to give money to KF free and clear.

Laundering drug money wasn't exactly ever hard, not in small amounts. Did you guys talked to people in the banking field, over there? We moved money when banking sector in Eastern Europe was shit, there are always ways, and I mean legal ways. I am personally not an expert, but some people are, so I hope that you've consulted them. There are ways if you look.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Oh for christ's sake, buck up, kid. 30 isn't the end, it's the beginning. You're still incredibly young. Get a girlfriend. Go out. Have fun. Take consulting gigs. Do a legal name change if this shit drags you down. There's nothing holding you back from having everything you want but you.

Youth is wasted on the young, I swear.

Agree. I'm having more fun at 30 than I ever did in my teens & twenties.

I've said this to @Null (though I don't know if he remembers, because who cares, really) but I joined the CWCki Forums while in a very dark place in my life & it has ironically helped me get my shit together. In my time on the Farms I've gone from homelessness & institutionalization to living on my own (albeit very modestly) & finishing a year's worth of secondary education to make an actual career for myself. Because I was inspired by a globetrotting twentysomething kid who just refused to quit.

Go take a break, big guy. Go travel around some more, maybe meet some users you like. The most fun I've ever had in years was hanging out with dudes like @Marvin & @Lipitor. As for wanting to start a family, you have a not-insignificant percentage of your userbase that would claw their own eyes out for a chance to meet you. (Not sure if they'd be marriage material, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?) Might as well cash in on your "infamy." I mean, fuck, @THOTto & @Kamov Ka-52 got married because of you. Fucking go for it! You have nothing to lose at this point.

EDIT: That wasn't supposed to be as flippant as that sounded.

EDIT ×2: If you want to shut the site down, I'd understand. But my point is that I think you'd be surprised by the quality of character of some of the users here.

EDIT ×3: ignore me, I'm retarded

 

[Dreams Mask]

@Null, I would first like to thank you for keeping this site up. I know i'm one of those new tards who only joined in 2019 but it's been a nice journey on this site to be honest.

I really do think by reading this that you need some time away from the site and fix up your life. Everyone's posted all the solutions by now so theres no point in saying that. However i feel like the site is a place of those who are push out from the societal PC norms that we see on twitter and on facebook. I genuinly like this site and keep coming back everyday(not because im just bored but) because its really just communites looking on other communities and pointing out the funny, stupid and bad. Espcially in the 'Animal Control' and many others since the who community is so up in 1 type of ideology and throws out people who say otherwise.

I know this is random but i do feel sorry for you know, I really think you should take a break from all of this and look to rebuild yourself into the next you!

 

[soft kitty]

New regulation just favors those who can use it to establish a monopoly new players can't enter into competition with.

THANK YOU. God, I've been saying this for years, why does nobody understand this?

 

[Fools Idol]

Man, people take this internet shit too seriously.

30 or so pages of "My feelings too!" and paragraphs of surface level 'insight'. Shit's gay.

I suppose I'm the normie weirdo who only comes here to kill idle time at work.

Null's problem is that he has spent a good portion of his life on this site and got very little good out of it. He isn't just killing time at work or laughing at lolcows, he is here everyday and his name has been dragged though the dirt all for what exactly? It certainly hasn't made him rich. It's all his own fault mind you.
The feeling of wasting your life away, of banging your head against a brick wall or worrying about the future are pretty relatable.

it would probably be easier to get money to literal hate groups than it is to Josh. I still find it insane that people, corporations, countries, banks etc collectively decided that Kiwifarms is the greatest threat to mankind and Josh is Neo Hitler-stalin.

Back in the day... okay 90s to around 2010 websites like the farms would not have stood out at all. What? you can talk about pretty much anything, say naughty words and not get banned or have your life ruined? That was the standard. I think it's only because the pool of actual free places on the internet kept shrinking, this place just held on unlike the rest. So suddenly a site about laughing at dumb people doing dumb things is the last bastion of freedom and liberty on the Internet that must be protected at all costs... Cool. But that doesnt sound like what Josh signed up for.

 

[introman]

@Null You do whatever makes you happy and content(srlsy, no sarcasm). The internet has merged into real life leading to all the non-fun stuff from real life seeping into the internet(E-grifting, Schizoid imbeciles, "INFLUENCERS", etc) . The populace wants to be stuck in their towers without regard for anybody but themselves. That's why you're seeing the newest generation not care that the President almost ended free-speech on the internet - one of the redeeming features of US's stewardship of ICANN/Internet - because an internet platform didn't coddle him(Twitter is shit, though).

The old internet is gone and will never be replicated again. It can't be replicated again as when a certain mass of people converge on something, they dilute and tamper with it. The free speech bastions will go away from weak willed individuals as the internet population of people like us "Radicals" splits into hyper sensitive narcissists and Schizoids - who both hate freedom of speech as they don't tolerate dissent in any meaningful position. Whatever you do, you still have me in your corner rooting for you even if this website is dismantled. You did a good job in the stewardship of an internet project that usually lasts for 2-3 years max.

We're a fossilized turd in this new generations latrines' .

Thank you for the information. I knew some but not all.

This doesn't remove the option of PMing users who fit a certain selection criteria about the etsy store, amazon product, whatever. Or having a discord of only people who have already donated. Eventually word will get out and you have to move on to the next product sale, but keep the secret. Bonus points for giving each user a slightly different link or something so you can tell who leaked the old product site to detractors. Or having different sites for users in different tiers of trust.

I won't deny it's work, but there has to be a way to streamline the process.

 

[Pumpkin Girl IRL]

All these monetisation ideas are giving me flashbacks to Lowtax.

 

[robobobo]

I, and I think lots of other people, hit a similar existential crisis at 30. That's kinda the time in life when it really dawns on you that your youthful dreams just aren't happening, and the thought you had that once you were an adult your shit would come together was wishful thinking. My personal experience on the matter is that there's no real solution aside from sitting down and reassessing your current situation without any rose-tinted glasses, and making new plans for how to achieve the things you want. If the Farms are standing in the way of your goals in life, then you need to find a way to make them stop being an impediment, or ditch them. Much as I would hate to see them go, I couldn't hold it against you for prioritizing your own life over an Internet forum.

 

[Thistle]

I'd recommend taking a break and doing the stuff you enjoy for a while.

Maybe burning it all down prematurely would be fun. Then again, KF is well past the "become a villain" state... so what would even be the point.

 

[Vince McMahon]

A failure according to you:

He's a failure in other regards though.
