Why is Brianna Wu a forum cow?

[MediocreMilt]

Brianna Wu has his/her own forum. Most posting seems to occur in the General thread. At a quick scan the latest new thread was in January.

Hell, even @CatParty posts articles about the subject directly to the General: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/brianna-walker-wu-john-walker-flynt-general-thread.23639/post-9665648

Why does this person still have a subforum??? All he does is complain about GamerGate and brag about his cars! Hell, even the political ambitions don't justify the forum. Carl Benjamin AKA Sargon of Akkad's political campaign caused much more of a shitstorm and he never rose to the level of forum-cow. What gives?

Hi, John.

Hi, John.

Dude, check my history before you assume I'm a sock.

I mean I personally agree with you that he doesn't need his own forum anymore but the decision to remove the forum isn't up to us.

Yes, but sometimes these suggestions come from the user base (c.f. ADF), and @Null about a month ago (it was in May) suggested retiring Amberlynn's forum despite the fact that posters there are at least creating new threads on a regular basis.

I've wondered that myself too.

Nulls personal lolcow.

Inertia at this point. She was churning out content during the 2018 race but hasn't been nearly as interesting in the aftermath.

100% agree, A regular thread would be perfectly fine for him now

Channel Awesome seems much more deserving of a forum, every person involved is a cow of sorts. Though moving and organizing all the threads would be a Herculean task and there hasn't been any recent events to precipitate it.

Ok, John.

No, but reasonable discussion gets noticed. Null has sought feedback previously on demoting lolcows.

I generally agree, but at the moment they don't generate enough funny stuff to be worth a whole forum. There's just a lot of them. After CtC they just reverted into being Trump-hating clones on Twitter. If the time ever comes where they pick up again, all the threads are tagged with TGWTG, so collecting and moving them should be straightforward.

Brianna Wu is the same, but he puts out a new campaign or PAC every two years. The sub-forum is more of an archival collection at this point.

Wu's board was a concession to Zed.

I post in the main Wu thread a lot and I agree that John really doesn't need his own subforum. Anything that gets its own thread in that subforum gets discussed in the main thread anyway.
