[X-Post] Closure of the CWCki Forum's Private Discussion Board

[Honeyrabbit]

But who all was involved? Why was Chris even speaking? How long did it last? Were high-prominent trolls involved? Thats all I want to know.

I dunno man, that sounds like the cut-off point to me. I've never seen the JULAY sex tape or looked at the nudes because that seems excessive in terms of how interested I can be in Chris; I follow him, but I get nothing out of looking at his naked body. Similarly I don't think there's much to be gained from a recording of him crying over his father's death; that's just too personal.

 

[klystron]

Chris and the main things he got out of it were hours of phone sex and a catchphrase for people who are really late to the party (JULAAAAAY).

Everyone knew he was doing it for the phone sex.

 

[Lord RainbowDash]

Most of us already know who one of these trolls is, the person's posts on this forum indicate that he's involved in some way. I honestly felt, when I was hearing about the "secret agents" in Chris's town, and the "I love Catherine" CD finding, that it had gone into dark territory. The whole thing seemed like they were just being purely malicious, it was just fucking with Chris for the sake of it. Unfortunately, they're going to stop, as Null said they're moving their activities elsewhere.

I'm glad that Null decided to stop condoning their behavior, at the very least. Convincing a depressed retard who's world is basically falling apart around him that he has a girlfriend, just to use this fake relationship to emotionally abuse him fucking abhorrent.

Yes, I know that Chris isn't exactly good, but I don't believe he deserves this.

 

[BigAltheGreat921]

Chris hasn't been really worthy of trolling since Bob's death. I think that and the house fire were game changers: he's become less funny and more a sad shell of what he once was in the Golden Age.

I wonder how much content we're going to get come the new year. Hope it's interesting.

 

[Chuggernaut]

On one hand, I'm pissed that the weens sunk to a new low by making fake gal-pal emails that ended up being fake. But on the other hand...maybe there's hope for Chris. This forum is proof that there are still people who do genuinely care about Chris. The steel plated heart...I thought Chris was pathetic at first, but I realize now that he isn't pathetic, the weens are. There's something admirable in Chris, the way life has torn him in every which direction, yet he never gave up when you get down to it. Every time he said he would give up, he showed us that he still had some fight in him.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Chris is pretty pathetic, in his broken down sad way.

 

[P-Logic]

I don't think the CWCki going away would change much for him. For stuff to change for him, the CWCville Library channel would have to go down, as well as any record of his Internet mishaps (not really possible).

I honestly doubt that anything profound would change for Chris anyway. His life was always going to suck, sadly. He'd maybe suffer less misery and annoyance on a day-to-day basis, but he'd still be a tranny, living off the government with his mother. That wasn't a fate imposed on him by his trolls, and it wasn't a fate that any of his trolls ever had the power to change.

I'm interested in all of it. .

The boring/irrelevant shit isn't even anything to do with Chris really. It's stuff like emails that Chris never responded to, or messages that were left on Chris's voicemail that he never even reacted to.

nah i'm sure the stuff isn't just one way discussions. no weens here

 

[Lurker]

Honestly, all I care about is that there's still a place somewhere on here for discussing Chris. And, as Null showed us, that's what he plans on doing, by putting Chris under a dedicated Lolcow board like Jace or GoldenKnight. I mean, the reason I even made an account on these forums was because of Chris, but even I realize, as a lurker, that Chris is just... not really Chris anymore. He's dried up.

If this forum does become a general lolcow forum, though, and we call it the Kiwi Farm, can we at least have a little homage to Chris on our new logo? You know, since he is our Patron Saint. Maybe like a little medallion or some shit.

 

[Ahffline]

I've always been uncomfortable with active trolling, whether the target is Chris or anyone else. Yes, I like to discuss the antics of lolcows with other observers, but that's as far as my interest in Chris - or any other well-know 'Net personality - goes. In Chris' case, we've seen him change drastically over the years.

That being said, I don't think it's been all bad. Over the past few months, he's made money from selling his own merch. He's found an identity that makes him feel more comfortable in his own skin. A few days ago, he even spent the evening at a social club. In short, for all the difficulties he's gone through, he's proven to be resilient, and maybe he'll find some measure of happiness that makes him eager to wake up in the morning.

Yes, I know we're talking about Chris, and I know what a shitty, terrible person he can be. But he still deserves some peace of mind, just like all of us.

Bravo, Null. I commend you for reaching this decision, and I support you 100%.

 

[The Fair Lady]

Wow, I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this. Pretty fucking ballsy. But I appreciate your honesty.

seeing those blacked out names made me think of some cia level business

 

[timtommy]

Not being in any sort of inner circle, I sm not informed enough to have any opinion on this decision, so I won't give one. Null does seem to raise very valid points.

But I don't know how much we can assume that any person or small group of people an exert control over a very patchy community. If a few people or lines of discussion/action are banned, they go away. Once that reaches a critical mass, they form elsewhere.

On the other hand, I assume that Null and others are not ignorant of this point. And it seems completely valid to say "I am not trying to stop you from doing anything, I just don't want to be involved". There is one type of thread on the discussion board I generally stay away from, just because it creeps me out a little.

Finally, these revelations do emphasize what a bizarre world Chris lives in. It is almost entirely the construction of other people. Kind of like living in a vidya game or choose your own adventure book. It is little surprise he believes fiction to be closer to real life than a lot of people do. His real life is a lot closer to fiction.

There were people here who did donate to Chris after his home was burned. Even though we laugh at Chris and find certain things of him to be terrible, it didn't stop some, if not all of us from actually choosing to donate to him. As for the weens who are pathetic, they also waste their time, trying to troll a guy who isn't the same clown-shirted lol-cow he was a few years ago. It may as well be like this one Twitter post from ED, trolling Chris is akin to beating a dead horse. The weens are wasting their time trying to beat a dead horse.

I don't want to ruin the fun for anyone, but as I remember we have four Christorical figures on the forum and I can tell you straight up neither Marvin nor Alec are the blacked out parties.
And one of the censored people posted stuff he found in Chris' old house.
And the fourth person made her name from being in contact with Chris' old "friends."

Like everyone else, I had no idea this private board existed, and took the "no trolling plans" rule to heart. And like everyone else, I figured there must be some top-secret trolling plan in the works somewhere. But lately (at least in the couple months since I got back into following Chris), most of the content has seemed to come from the man himself, via Facebook, eBay, and the occasional IRL adventure. The way Null describes it, active trolling just seems like more trouble than it's worth these days, regardless of how anyone feels about the morality of it.

That said, I remain cautiously optimistic. Moving the links to the Chris boards a few inches down the front page and slapping a new logo at the top doesn't exactly change much about the content or tone of the forums. The CWCki will almost certainly endure somewhere, since taking it down wouldn't really accomplish anything (except putting the ED, KYM, and Cracked pages higher in the Google results). Nobody seems to be going on a banning spree or deleting posts. And who knows? Maybe the new troll content will be great, and I'm completely misreading the whole situation.

Whatever; I'm just some newbie who's happy everyone's being a goddamn adult about this.

 

[Zamininc]

Called this. Am I the only one who just figured all this stuff was going down without having knowledge of it?

 

[sachiko]

I haven't posted in a while, but always thought that this board had a "look, don't touch" policy.

Except for sending Chris the care package, which IMO was a really nice idea.

 

[DrChristianTroy]

Nothing too surprising. I mean we have the whole "no trolling" thing but people were going to still troll. It's not like Null can stop what people do/start away from here. Naturally those doing whatever would group together. There's always been behind-the-scenes stuff here and I don't think this is any different. If they're going off to their own thing, good luck in their future endeavors.

As for the Chris area, I say leave it as is. My reasoning is that most people come here through the CWCki and that will always be the main event. There is other stuff but Chris seems to be the gateway. Either way I'm sure whatever decision is made will be fine.

The board is a collection of people, everyone has their own "policy".

Whether it is fair or not, the policy of the board tends to be seen as the policy of the most trolly members who have not been banned.

 

[sachiko]

It's probably better that the main "resource" on Chris kind of cares about him. If the ED page was the only place to learn about him, you'd probably get a lot more harassment towards Chris.
