This thread has moved fast, basically more than doubled the number of pages it had in the last few days than it did in six years. Probably might be best to create a new thread just for the leak and fallout.

"4Chan Rapefugee Concentration Camp" subsection would be a decent addition to the forum that recreates all of the major boards that we lost. This way you can somewhat segregate all of us freaks from your normal userbase, so we don't shit up your forum. Because it's going to happen if you just let us run wild. I know what we're like.
Null said he's not going to make a porn board.
 
I consider myself lucky to have found out about KF after that "tranny drama" that forced the site offline a year or more ago. Is it even allowed to discuss/mention that individual on KF now or how did that whole episode end?
its not only allowed but also encouraged. qween keffals and her fart videos have played an important part in kiwi history and are a permanent exhibit in the kiwi museum of wonders
 
The Self Sufficiency board has all the gun and gear threads
Depending on what it is you're talking about the Self-sufficiency board might have you covered.
Nope. My hunting grounds is the meat department at Safeway. Innawoods shit is just camping with extra ego-stroking steps.
/k/ is actually more than survivatards waiting for the rapture. I was just there to sperg about shit like having a stuck fuel rack on the 6V53 Detroit in an M113 or Maj Reno getting shafted by the press for Little Bighorn. Also anime boobs.

Technically this is a lolcow website for gossip about lolcows. Some of the best threads are the lolcow threads, but you have to have a special kind of autism to care as much about Internet retards as we do.
When I was a newfag I also found it a bit daunting to post. A&N, as you say, is essentially a circlejerk for /pol/fags. It can be fun but it's basically no different than /pol/ in terms of content, maybe less BBC spam. I recommend to find some on-topic lolcow threads you like, since lolcow content is the easiest to engage with on the forum. Community watch threads are especially easy to get into since you don't need to learn all the lore and background of a specific person.
I like to think of KF as a glorified tabloid (in an endearing way) that actually has sources back up what is being discussed, and a host of general boards to discuss non-'celebrity' topics, in a sort of similar fashion to what you'd get out of the boards you're used to. Kiwi is also, as was pointed out, one of the single most misunderstood sites on the entire internet.

For any 4channers stopping by, Give this a read if you want to see every claim you've ever heard about the Farms disproven with prejudice.
 
I know, and to my credit I have been. I don't know why this thread is normal paced and everywhere else is dead.
"Try to listen to the person without being judgmental or accusatory. Talk about the support available that can help the person reduce or stop their alcohol or drug use. Emphasize that you are happy to talk again and provide support. You might ask them if they want to chat again in a week or two."

Take deep breaths, you'll be fine. 4chinz will be back maybe, one day. In the mean time just relax It'll be alright.

What were you even posting about on /k/? After 2016 it became infested by trannies and nogunz r*ddit faggots. I'd go back to check every few months, but nothing changed. The only thing remotely interested were threads about enlisting because they'd have the occasional vet drop by and tell some funny/retarded story.
Laughing at the Russian army getting buttfucked by the poorest country in europe because of their own incompetence was pretty interesting.
 
The way I've always understood it was you had to have a very long history of engaging in egregiously fucked up behavior to get a thread made about you on this forum. If you have your own thread here, you've earned it.
IMO the line gets a bit blurred because KF has i.e. "Internet Famous" which is just for discussing people who may not necessarily meet the definition of "lolcow" or have done anything that outrageous.

Good to know. Do you recall if there is any place on the site that documents KF lore? The "Keffals Kerfuffle" is the only thing I really know about the site because up until then it managed to keep a pretty low profile and I'd like to educate myself.
 
I know, and to my credit I have been. I don't know why this thread is normal paced and everywhere else is dead. It's also kind of hard to find threads to post in, like I found a horror general but all the other tv-themed threads under Multimedia are anodyne titles like "Whad are you eading when u watch movee" and like 1000 responses going back to 2012, how am I supposed to pop on and be like "Yeah so that White Lotus finale was fire bruh" and liven the place up. At the same time I like the functionality on this site as I've said many times, I dig the vibe and I'm not trying to knock Nvll's efforts it's great that he's like internet Jesus and self-sacrificing that I may poast, so I'm not going to turn my nose up too high I'm just saying the kiwifarmers itt should do more to cultivate an engaging environment. Even the autistic thunderdome is mainly "American politics" and it's a bunch of chuds with mt dew going "Bro Trump is like the President, and that makes libcucks so mad, but I don't really care either way" "So true bruh, but on the other hand Nixon was based" "Excellent post my guy" It's just very thumbheaded type vibes at the moment, we need to get festive, put some music on, I know the people to do that are here they just need to put in a little more effort, it's their responsibility too not mine I'm new here, if you've been here since like 2017 and you're not posting good threads on a regular basis you're no better than a newfag, get out there and give me somewhere to post. Once this thread loses activity it's hard to imagine coming back as it currently stands to talk to like two people over the course of a week, same reason c.c is unusable to me. On 4chan there was always an active thread about exactly the hot topic you want to talk about
I agree, it's a completely different environment. It does suck to not have that instant dopamine anymore. Both my vidya generals got nuked and the replacements here are slow or yet to arrive. I've noticed I spend more time playing games instead of talking about them now though so that's nice.
Actually, I agree so much I'm gonna go post to liven up the place.
 
I would also mention that the forum is much more of a cohesive community than 4chan. People know eachother, follow eachother, talk to eachother in DMs, etc. There are a fuck ton of in jokes, there's huge multi hundred page long DM chains with dozens of participants of people talking to eachother, boards like Q&A are shitposting spots for a clique of autists. If you get to know the community and become a part of it, it's rewarding and fun, but I imagine it makes it especially hard for newfags to get used to the site.

Basically every thread since 2013 is still on the website and you can read them. This thread is old but has some good info on the very early history of the site.
 
The one time I used 4chan for an extended period of time was when I had to dig through /pol/'s threads about the Buffalo shooting for info on the Entropy Discord server (which had allegedly been implicated in grooming the shooter) and it was genuinely one of the most miserable things I've ever forced myself to do. The threads were filled with nothing but schizos, bots, and a small handful of people actually trying to compile information that would consistently get led on wild goose chases by Discord freaks that kept showing up to fuck with them.

I have no idea how any of you can put up with the lack of an account creation barrier. I guess I can commend you on your stubborn persistence in continuing to use the site despite the scores of people constantly trying to disrupt discussion, but I'd also suggest just moving here full-time where that isn't an issue and you can just focus on posting, lol

Someone else was gonna copy this from 8chan and post it in this thread, but their account needed approval.

This does not constitute a lie under oath.
If this was your court case, you could depose him and ask further questions about what it means when he says posts cannot be edited.

There are many ways these posts may not be editable. Let's make a list of the ones I can think of off the top of my head:
  • if Xenforo does not allow edits on a locked account
  • if Xenforo does not allow edits on a banned user
  • if Xenforo does not allow other users (irrespective of moderators) to edit the post
  • if there is a read-only copy of the data in question
  • if edits of the post are administratively prohibited (i.e. Josh verbally instructed the staff not to alter the post in question)
  • if a claim was made in the past that the posts are editable in a more broad sense and Josh is clarifying that the posts are editable in a less broad sense

Even if this did constitute a lie under oath, which it does not, the lie was made in service of the greatest possible goal - the preservation of the freedom of your countrymen.
 
Since we're already kinda talking about this, what Cow Threads do you think are essential for newfags to read? specifically ones that have played an important role in the site's history and culture.
I'll go ahead and start off with Keffals, the big name behind "Drop Kiwi Farms".

and Liz Fong Jones as well, too, for those wondering what a "consent accident" is, and is also probably the biggest threat to the farms at the moment, I think, unless I'm forgetting someone. pls no bully

Im sure theres a thread already like this but since theres a whole bunch of rapefugees here I figured it'd be relevant to have this discussion in this thread.

DSP General Discussion #2, and I'm definitely not shilling it because I'm a regular there.
