Time flies. I still remember when the only active posters were Alec Benson Leary and AnOminous...
Now Skyraider is only a name that the old folks know. Truly legendary.

What about $10/m?

Bah, cheap! Giving Kiwis away on a platter!
100$ a week. No haggle.

In all seriousness, I've openned Kiwi up pretty much every day since I've signed up. I've tried a lot of waiting room time-fillers, but none compare to even the worst thread here.

Null's been a great runner and the mods are honestly the best I've seen on any forum, and everyone who posts here is savvy as fuck. I've learned so much about law, medical transition, politics, obscure furry drama from the 90's, medical treatments, and, of course, internet researching from this site, it's honestly a bit scary that so many self-assured smart types with conflicting beliefs will band together so easily over some autistic losers on the internet.
Dumb autistic losers who try and get big here never even last long.
I really wish I knew how Kiwifarms is so effectively self-moderating, because this shit should be implemented somewhere other than a forum to laugh at retards.

P.S. i never though dynastia was funny catparty is much better

I pick mods who are better than me at something, who like the forum way more than they like me or than I like them, who will not lord themselves over people, and who I can demod without causing problems. I strictly enforce a "don't fuck with my users" rule complemented with a "don't disrespect my staff" rule. I also learned at some point the worst thing I can do is reprimand staff in public. I don't always follow my doctrine perfectly and it's not really a thing written down, but if you ever start a community don't mod your friends and don't mod people who will just blindly rule lawyer. We call our rules guidelines because the only real rule is don't get me in trouble and don't annoy the fuck out of everyone.

Edit: Oh, and don't mod people who create content. A lot of people wonder "why isn't X a mod, he's a great poster!". That's exactly why he's not a mod. Don't distract people providing content with janitorial duty. Like making the lead singer clean the bathroom.

Excellent, soon we will be ready to make war against 4chan and begin to unite the forces of internet autism under a single banner.

We should make alliances with 4chan to destroy those filthy Jahanists over on /cow/ then lay siege to Something Awful

10/10 love how you run the forum. Modding friends is the worst thing, many forums have gone down the shitter because of the admins and mods being literal buttbuddies and the admin not manning themselves up to demod their moronic friends who keeps doing dumb crap.

The power of shitposting can't be stopped.

Really though, congratulations, Null. I've been here for over 3 years and the site just keeps getting better. We've really hit some growth spurts lately, too, what with all the Nostalgia Critic/DSP/Purple Kecleon drama. I've noticed that more and more people are using our threads to do research, too.

Not that any of them ever want to admit it. That or they do the infantile K*w*f*rms thing on twitter.

Seriously though, who would've ever thought a forum laughing at stupid people doing stupid things would get so many people so booty blasted? Or that they'd get so rectally wrecked they'd want to stab the site owner while they're on the shitter? I love this timeline and this site. Keep on truckin' fellow speds.

If lurking for an unhealthy amount of time had taught me anything, is that life is hilarious.

It's comedy fucking gold.

It can be the shittiest year of your life, but also the funniest.

2015 wasn't a great year for me, and this place got me out of an ego storm.

Best part?

This place ain't an asylum, and that's what made my day when I joined. It's the perfect timeline to join the Farms.

It's also the internet, so you have that, if you like watching, pointing and laughing this is the best place for that.

EDIT: For all those OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE OUT THERE


:story: :drink: Life is swell.
