Ye Olde Meta Thread

Historical Figures that were Lolcows? I think I can guess a few who could have interesting threads if we could properly source and archive things

Karl Marx
Adolf Hitler
Woodrow Wilson
 
The Roman Emperor Nero is a great historical lolcow.....

Uncle Caligula dressed as a woman and wanted to marry a horse also fucked his sisters so he had a fucked up childhood

Had success with early rule and proposed popular policies like abolishing tax although like a true lolcow it all went downhill interestingly the downward spiral was after his mothers death

Turned on all his advisors putting them on trial for treason and executed his rivals

Divorced his wife and banished her

Bankrupted Rome by wasting all the money on lavish palaces and building projects

Allegedly burnt down his own city to make room to build a palace and played the fiddle as it burned although the fiddle is probably a myth

Devalued the currency for the first time in Roman History

Married a young boy and had him castrated to make him a woman so hes a Troon lover

Fled the palace after all his guards abandoned him to and wanted to commit suicide but failed to bring himself to do so

His private secretary had to kill him

Was the last of his dynasty
 
Open discussion, I'd like to get Silent Rob to have his thread moved here.
A brief summary
Silent Rob was a dime a dozen angry reviewer who's claim to fame was having several rant videos (Read autistic screeching) about his previous jobs, my little pony and the Irate Gamer go mildly viral
Despite to this day being very active, streaming weekly on YouTube, (Currently on a vacation, however)
Rob is either so boring no one pays attention or has mellowed out. A simple two page thread with not much of note.

 
Does Near/Byuu count? Since he faked his death there's a very low chance he will ever show up again with that alias. Unless he gets exposed for having a new alias he goes under I think he should be considered Inactive as of now.
I personally wouldn't move his thread immediately yet unless he's actually confirmed to be dead via the State Department database (whenever that gets updated again) or he gets found out again because if his thread ends up moved and locked here and needing a request to a mod to move it and open it up again, there's a small chance of that getting leaked to him and making him go dark again. However, he also has another thread in the Happening boards (discussing the autism generated by his "death") so maybe that will probably not be too much of a concern (unless Null deletes the Thunderdome lol).

If he stays hidden for a while now though, maybe six months to a year, and no updates to his thread happens, then yeah it could be moved.

EDIT: I'm retarded, the threads here don't seem to be locked. Still, would be good to know what's a timeline for when a cow is considered inactive (if not found to be deceased) for their thread to be moved here.

Would it be possible to move the Deagle Nation board here? I think more people should see that greatness.

@Null I wanted to run this idea by you before doing anything, but how would you feel about a Darwin Award Winners thread in this subforum?
Or is that too macabre?
 
Nero was based as fuck, Elagabalus and Commodus were the only Imperial lolcows.
Wasn't he the one who wanted to be a musician and shit? Or am I confusing him with someone else? I think that was him.

Honestly the guy just seemed clueless but well meaning from what I've seen of it. Like one of those people who have rich parents and is supposed to take over the family business but they scream "God mom and dad, I just want to be an artist! Why can't you accept me for who I am?!" all while he's spending massive amounts of money and making poor people hate him without even realizing it because they have a completely warped idea of the value of money.

How was Nero based Dynastia? Sounds like some god damn pampered liberal soy boy to me *spit*
