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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Well, I was tagged twice in this thread, so I guess I better say something.

In regards to this whole "reveal," I've actually known about the inner workings for a while, and the rest I could assume as much. I kept mum about it since it wasn't my project and as cruel as it can be, these trolls were pretty much the only social interaction Chris was and will be receiving outside of pity points from whatever gay pride parade he decides to go to. After they are gone, Chris is no doubt going to be hitting an all-time low when he slowly has to come to grips that the only real friends he has are the people that he constantly screamed at. The only people that are going to give a shit about the crater he lives in and the crap he posts onto eBay were us. All the feels aside, kudos to Null for admitting about the inner workings and I'll be looking forward to the info-dumps for some awkward winter reading.

As for the downsizing/ resizing/ whatever, it makes sense to me. I have no real interest in other lolcows at the time, just peripheral knowledge of them really, but that may change. I'm not against the change, but at the same time, I don't have any investment in it either.

And although I don't hold any real governing power here, I do have two requests to make. 1) Please archive Sonichu.com, or at the very least give us a date when it will be shutting down. I actually use that a lot for my comic. And speaking of which 2) If at all possible, keep the Sonichu forum, or at least rebrand it the fanart forum or something akin to that. One of my biggest reasons for being around here is to entertain folks with "The Real Sonichu." If that has to be tossed, then I really don't have much reason to stick around other than the sporadic murmuring Chris posts on his Facebook.

So, onto the next grand mutation.

It's like... you're this kid and you always believed in Santa and then one day you discover it's actually a fat dude in a suit with a fake beard. And then he bangs your mother and rapes your parakeet and burns down your house and rides off into the sunset flipping you off.

And that kid is everyone who wanted to believe in Chris getting a little bit of a lucky break for once in his life, right now. :heart-empty:

Sonichu.com isn't going down.

The one thing that stood out for me was the notion that you'd break off and create something new; did I miss-read among the vague lines or are you thinking of creating your own Chris spot? Because that'd be truly interesting.
 
Has Chris ever been invited here? More specifically, has he ever been invited here without an underlying intention to fuck with him?

What about a true and honest invite to this place? Safe to say he won't get banned for being Chris (as he probably would elsewhere) and it might just energize him.

Yes, Null invited him, once. Chris flat-out refused, "You get nothing" were his exact words.

You're doing a great job Null, I appreciate how you're handling this.

I always thought "lolcows" was a weird name for that forum. While people like Mylar certainly fit the bill, responding to every mild provocation with the fury of a thousand curse-ye-ha-me-has, there are others like Pamperchu who are really just eccentrics with some disgusting habits who ignore trolls and get on with their business - their business sometimes being unintentionally hilarious, but still. It's more of a general "observe the weird people" forum with the occasional "how can we screw with this guy?". Going back to my previous example, someone like Pamperchu isn't really a lolcow. He's often funny, but he doesn't respond to trolling at all.

Is lolcow even an accurate term to use anymore? I feel like it's closely associated with trolling, and "trolling" Chris and his ilk seems to be falling out of fashion. There seems to be have been a big swing from "we should troll the shit out of this guy" to "I can't wait to see what he does next". Look at ParkourDude91: he was only discovered in the past year. He's had his fair share of ween trolls, but there's been no "trolling sagas". Most people seem happy enough to let him do his own thing, which is proving to be perfectly entertaining.

Perhaps we've all collectively learned that a lolcow's greatest troll is themselves?

Well, I believe public Chris discussion will still be a big part of the cwckiforums. Null was saying that he's shutting down the private discussion board. He also said that private discussion group might move elsewhere.

So, pretty much the status quo, just not hosted on cwckiforums.com.

So, basically, the only people Chris talks to are a hand full of trolls fucking with him and "Catherine" was a troll who took the time to visit him once and then string him along. No wonder he's so fucking depressed. I'd be depressed, too. This info has depressed me. Fuck. The fuck's wrong with you?

I'm quoting you, but this is actually aimed at everyone who was shocked by this revelation: I can't believe you didn't realise this.

I'm not trying to pretend that I already knew everything. There was a lot of shit in Null's OP that was definitely news to me. The sheer extent of the trolling for one thing, and the fact that people were impersonating Mimms and his high school friends. But it was completely obvious that "Catherine" was a troll. There was like a 1% chance that it was a real woman, and that even was before the little hints here and the little bits and pieces of info that were leaked on /cow/.

I know people wanted to hope for the best, but honestly, what were the chances it was anything other than this?

I think at this point we could delegate Chris discussion to three threads; Sonichu discussion, random thoughts and questions and Facebook updates. Even something like the latest tomgirl picture of him on Halloween isn't THAT interesting, the thread is mostly filled with people speculating how he might have acted at the gay bar, and the mild A-logging of people commenting on Chris's obviously deteriorating appearance. It could easily fit into one CWC Megathread as a subset of the "lolcows" forum, which I don't think would be such a bad idea.

But then there's a lot I don't know about CWC following and trolling, so that's just my observation as someone who only recently became a Christorian.

This exactly. The biggest non-shocker in Null's post is that Catherine is a troll. People really should know better by now but, then again, this board has quite a few optimists.

Chris's story is not going to have a happy ending. If you are following for that, you should probably get out before it gets worse (and it will).

Some pages on the CWCki talk about Chris's friends' emails as if they were genuine. Not sure what the rules for the CWCki are really though, as a lot of it is written from Chris's perspective anyway (e.g. 'Emily was abducted mid-date by a man in a pickle suit', as opposed to 'a couple of trolls used a pickle suit to troll Chris').

But tbh it needs to be made clear in some way. I enjoy Chris content and respect what the trolls do, but I'm unsure as to where the truth ends and the lies begin.
