I don't know to what extent the forum's history is discussed, but if the knowledge were more widespread, more people would know how absurd "goodbye forever see you on my other socials" threads actually are. The stakes around our current displacement are higher, but the root of the problem is nothing new.
Kiwi Farms is the longest living version of this forum and it was founded in 2013, but it only exists because other versions of the CWCki Forums kept getting taken down. Between 2011 and 2012, the admin had to set up a mailing list to keep everyone up to date on new hosting plans because of how often we were deplatformed. Some reboots of the forum barely lasted a handful of weeks before we had to move on. It was a smaller, more intimate community back then, but everyone was just as adamant about keeping the website alive as we are today. The forum has always been home to a userbase of cockroaches, both in the sense that most people think we're nasty, and also in the sense that nothing can get rid of us. If you're still on here because you've bothered to follow the Telegram channel and then went out of your way to use Tor, you're part of the reason we'll stick around.
There will always be a Kiwi Farms as long as people keep being ridiculous on the internet and someone wants to talk about it. We'll keep figuring out workarounds because we're just that autistic.
