I'm getting too old for this shit.

Fuck it, if Null wants to drop ownership of KiwiFarms, I’ll be more then happy to be the one who can take over the mantle. @Null if you ever want to do it, please contact me about it.

With the amount of user data here, I'd hope @Null nukes it and makes the next iteration start fresh if it comes to that

“The era of the lolcow is dead. There is no such thing as a lolcow anymore, almost specifically because of this forum.”

The devil is in the details. You’ve heard of DFE (Delete Fucking Everything). With Null it was AFE (Add Fucking Everything) Mode. In short, Null wanted Kiwifarms to be everything to everybody.

You're still a classic lolcow.

Stop shilling Onion Farms.
Nobody cares.
KF will live on forever.

That meme is great because the site is way more active than it has ever been. I have no idea what Alexa derives its metrics from but it's clearly broken as fuck.

I'm with the other people in this thread saying 'take a break'. The pressure clearly isn't doing healthy things for you. I'm not an internet psychologist or have any significant knowledge of you as a person, but from everything I've seen of you over the years, you're a man of cast iron. You don't bend and you don't break, you resist everything thrown at you, but the pressure builds up over time, and in the end, you shatter. That's not a good thing or a bad thing, just a personality assessment. I'd say you've reached the 'shatter' stage about 3 times since I've been here, but you've always recovered admirably. But it's not a cycle that will last forever.

 

[the fall of man]

I came to this site after getting disillusioned with 4chan and SomethingAwful, then spending a year reading only lolcow farms (I didn’t like PULL and found Kiwi through lolcow). I love the current site as it is, but I can understand that the site has deviated from its vision and also that we care about different things as we grow and change.

I hope you manage to do what’s best for you. We’ll all be rooting for you.

Alexa is by far the absolute worst metric, and I wish I knew how they made those numbers up.

2020 cease this madness.

 

[thejackal]

how can we make it work? Make that manifesto. edit:

please. Seriously I think a lot of us will pay either through ads or what the fuck ever.

 

[MelloYello]

China is a pretty good choice, I think you'll like it there.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind, if it's your first time:

1) Do NOT drink tap water.

2) If a restaurant serves chicken or rabbit with the head, that's a good sign.
Some chinese customers will eat that part as well, but primarily, it guarantees that you're really getting chicken, rather than mystery meat.
Which is also a good reason to avoid street vendors.

3) Be prepared to haggle, if you don't want to get ripped off. There's a reason they call chinamen "the jews of asia".

Yes. I am probably going to be passing that along to different people in July and refocusing my efforts entirely on the Kiwi Farms.

Appreciate it. 9chan is pretty comfy.

An existing imageboard owner who runs several other alt-tech services.

what other services? not asking for the owner's name, i'm just curious.

also, if you're going to teach english, have you considered Taiwan? they have well-paying opportunities there and the country is beautiful.

 

[Sociopathic Smeghead]

I'd be sad to see the site go, but you know what they say:
"Sometimes the best decisions aren't the easiest."
It's obviously having an impact on your wellbeing, and sometimes ya just gotta say fuck it and focus on yourself for once.
Decide for yourself, don't let anyone pressure or sway you. This is important.
Best of luck buddy.

If I have to go back to GOMI I will blow my head off. The powerleveling, OMG. Lolcow is okay but a lot of my favorite cows aren’t over there. GG is dead, YTT is filled with literal psychopaths, PUL is creepy, Reddit...hahaha, no. I’m going to be internet homeless and will have to read books FFS.

that can't happen in this timeline.

It was always the eventual fate of this website that it would be taken down, one way or another. Sane people don't put in the kind of superhuman effort that Null has to keep it up, and at this point nobody has any right to blame him for wanting to get a sealed name change and have some babies with a q.t 3.14. There is an immense amount of legitimate good in this site's legacy, even if that good is just giving speds an opportunity to commiserate over how stupid other speds are.

I saw a tech talk by Alexa, formerly Alex, Shekelbergstein. She had lilac hair and programmer socks and the talk was about renormalizing metrics to counter transphobic narratives 'in the run-up to 2020'.

 

[AnOminous]

That meme is great because the site is way more active than it has ever been. I have no idea what Alexa derives its metrics from but it's clearly broken as fuck.

It calculates it based on the number of Alexa users who visit it, i.e. self-doxed idiots who somehow also visit the Farms. I'm honestly amazed anyone who visits here willingly installs Alexa spyware.

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

@Null I believe that, fundamentally, you're a good man with a good heart and a strong mind. But even the best of minds can wear down with enough stress. That's why I'll just tell you to make the best of your summer vacation, and I hope you find a cute girl to hang out with wherever you go.

Bless Yahuwah that you're still here with us, and still able to do this at all. And when you finally die, be sure to tell Him "thank you".

You've herded autistic cats for longer than most people would have. If you've got to cut ties, you've got to cut ties and I wish you the best, but I straight up implore you not to just shutter everything. Hand it off to someone else if you've got to and whatever happens after that happens, but this site isn't just a remnant of a dying old internet -- it's helped bring actual subhuman shitstains to justice and when it can't do that, at least it gets the word out there. Even people who don't like the Farms usually have to admit that they're fantastic at archiving shit.

There's a lot of kiddie diddlers who would pop a bottle of champagne if this site went down and that right there is a reason to keep it breathing in some form or another.
