I'm getting too old for this shit.

I've never seen your gay shit and I'm not going to subject myself to it. If you have something to say, say it like a normal fucking person.
Who declared you an expert on what it means to communicate like a normal person? Your style of communication ranges from thinly-veiled frothing autistic rage to total radio silence.

Having people I don't like sending me songs ridiculing me in the thumbnail is not an appropriate way to send anyone a message you actually want to pay attention to what you have to say. I have an email address.
 
@Null
1. I want to start a family - I need to get myself cared for and right first - You've given much and asked for little in return. You've more than earned the right to be greedy; go out and see the world - its a helluva lot brighter than that 35w light bulb hanging down from the ceiling. Decompress,unwind, do things you've wanted to do. Explore some before setting down roots anywhere.

2. I want to start a family - I'm getting to the border of 40. I don't have kids, i have a long distance GF, and i am ok with this-your mileage will vary greatly. This goes back to point 1 - reconnect with yourself first before seeking a connection with another. If you haven't a clue on what you want in your own domain, good luck trying to establish a connection with another human. Get to reconnecting with Josh 1st and get Josh sorted before trying to connect with that tall brunet 4 seats down on the lightrail express commuter tram.

3. Free Speech - your always going to have people say its too loose! censorship now! the other side too tight! loosen up the restrictions. I'm still relatively shiny new to the farms yet; you've managed to find a balance here on the farms. Anywhere you go its face fucked if you do...face fucked if you don't - its about keeping the majority happy while keeping the minority at bay. Remember kids - if you don't like it...theres a door! don't let it hit your ass on the way out...not wiping assprints off the door again. Your mods have a good grip on the reins here, they know whats on the up and up and who to drop the ban hammer on - trust in your mod squad - if things start going pear shaped you can always come back.

4. How do i have fun again? - unfuckingplug from the goddam internet for a start. hibernate all your social media accounts,twatter,fuckbook,Instathot and Snapblyat. Go out and try new things, eat something you've never had before, lay back in a hammock and laze the day away, let your desires do the walking for once.

5. How do i apply my skills to make cashey money? - I'm not a tech expert, not by a long shot; if you can make this place run well on little and keep the complaints down to a soft peep...some company out there is going to want you. Will it sap what little is left of your soul? what job doesn't? It won't be forever before you move up to better things. You know the pipes of the internet..thats also worth something to the right person/company as well - soul sapping but again most of us don't like our jobs, some downright despise them, we do them anyways because its in our nature to.

6. Workloads - You have a mod team that has a good grip on the reins. Let them take over; keep an eye on things every now and again but trust your mod squad.

I’m a newer user and I’ve been sperging in the riot thread a lot this past week, but honestly, I wouldn’t blame Null for nuking A&H, if he decided to go that route. It sounds like it’s been nothing but a source of problems and stress for a long time. (Granted, it wouldn’t change the fact that every thread about trannies or other sex pests inevitably heads down a spiral of politics and anger, but it would be a start.)

Null's a relic from a time when we used to joke that “the internet is serious business”, but now that everyone’s gone nuts and seems to treat the internet like it really is serious business, the jokes have kind of been replaced with frustration and anger. A lot of people seem to come here to be mad on the internet (ironically enough) rather than to laugh at crazy bastards putting themselves on display. Hell, I’ve been guilty of that myself.

And from the sounds of it, he doesn’t really seem to have much in the way of people offline to interact with. No wonder he’s depressed. Hell, anybody would be depressed if their primary means of interaction with other people was through KF. Ultimately, I think the answer to "How do I move into stability and towards a more fulfilled person?" and "How do I have fun again?" is to cultivate a better life outside of this internet shitshow. If you can’t turn the computer off an go do something else, it’ll destroy you in the end.

Anyway... Null, whatever you decide, thanks for this little slice of Web 1.0 in The Current Year. You've had a big impact on the history of the internet, whether you know it or not. If you want to retire from all this, you've definitely earned it. You're a good dude who cares deeply about things bigger than yourself, and I wish you much happiness in the future.

Perhaps a manifesto with a list of demands, threatening to cut off your digits with a hot knife and sodomise you would be more your style.
 
Hey man, I can't say I know what you're going through, but I want to say this. You're a pretty cool guy, and I do appreciate the work you've put into the site so far. If you ever want to transfer the site away, that's your right, but I would hope you don't shut it down. The farms are a fun place to me, and many others, and being at the top may keep you from experiencing that with us at the bottom. But if you want to step away, be less active as the "head" of the site, thats more than fine. Go for what makes you happy in life. For what it may be worth, I think making a community like this and having it survive for so long is an accomplishment worth having done.

Alec: It makes you feel better?! Chris, you're an adult, you really want people to kiss your ass all the time?

Chris: Well, yeah, not all the time.

Alec: Why can't you learn to deal with...

Chris: I don't want, I don't like, I don't like, I don't like constant abuse.

Alec: What constant abuse?

Chris: And torment and slanders and cursings.
 
Close every board other than those in Lolcow Salon, remaining users are your dating pool @Null.

If KiwiFarms goes out I really hope that there is some kind of replacement for Lolcow Salon. Came here to follow AmberLynn orginally and KiwiFarms is the absolute best place I've found to be a catty bitch online, mostly because of the blessed no powerlevel rule. Every other forum and discussion board to mock other women, bitches are falling over themselves to tell their whole life story and prove how much better they are than the lolcow in question. Also through years of bullying Null managed to get women to archive our shit.

I appreciate the work that was done expanding the woman section of the site (and also the dedication to improving the site in general) even if the doors did shutter tomorrow. Wild that the women section of the site is the seemingly the most fun one. It really is [current year].
 
@Null Fuck it dude turn the shit off for a week and see how you feel
I'm not turning the site off but on June 19th, barring another incident where travel plans evaporate like they did on the 9th, I will be gone until at least July. I have to find out before then if the site needs extra staff and then on July I hope to have a plan for the future.
 
Null honestly I would work on just making the site an archive and slowing down posting when you can, it's been a good run but I really don't think this site is as good as it used to be and most of the current userbase is insufferable.
Would you mind if you be more specific on which part of the user base?
 
@Null You mention not wanting to fight for free speech anymore. Out of curiosity, if you were to just give up on KF or resign yourself to a trad lifestyle, who do you think you could/should/will pass the torch (for lack of a better term) of championing free speech onto?
