We can all learn some valuable lessons about morality from the brave, selfless, principled hero who ran a forum dedicated to making people's lives miserable, a site that declared war against us because I failed to ban all the filthy transsexuals and uppity negroes, a gem of the internet that was on a crusade to cause the downfall of this site. It is utterly incomprehensible and unexpected that such a site would be shut down by some person whose sole motivation was to ruin the life of somebody he felt deserved it.

Sometimes the world can be remarkably cruel and unfair to saints like null, who dedicated his life to running a forum for stalking, harassing, and ruining the lives of people they felt deserved it.
Did the memory loss kick in earlier then everyone thought it would or did you just post blindly without ever reading your forum or frontpage for over a decade? Who am I kidding its both isnt it :suicide:
Off the top of my head I remember the Tea Party Community, a right wing Facebook that was destroyed by a goon swarm doing things like doxxing users for shits and giggles and filling the global news feed with a neverending stream of hardcore porn.

Anyway for realtalk hello folks. I stopped lurking a few years ago, but wanted to give my perspective. Kiwifarms had quite a few SA users even before this last week, the spirit was supposed to be more like SA's glory days where people find funny poo poo and post it for everyone to enjoy but it attracted too many people that just wanted to rage or attack others to make themselves feel superior. Some of us just wanted to laugh at crazy people being crazy without having to scour the entire internet for leads, in a place where you wouldn't be banned for calling a crazy person crazy and laughing at them.

The guy that killed the site actually wanted Kiwifarms help originally. He approached a user to get him to attack whoever he was stalking at that time, and had been a member for years. The user figured he'd be funnier so posted about him instead which started the crusade. I'm being entirely serious when I say if he shows up don't antagonize him, if he targets you he will do things like send terrorist threats to local schools or hospitals, harass everyone in your extended family and their employers, in one case he apparently threatened someones child in some form for hosting the site. He was member of an evanescence forum and discovered underage fans were exchanging information and possibly pictures, and when he wasn't given complete access to the forum (such as PM's) tried to have the band and its producers arrested for pedophilia. He stalks teenagers and was able to blackmail one of them within a day of that victim coming forward after 8 or so years. He started a motion in parliament to have that particular victim declared a pedophile or something when she was 17 because she was made a moderator on a new evanescence forum after his earlier actions killed the official one.

You might think kiwifarmers are bad, we are pussies compared to this guy.

i gotta say that i really expected kf to last many, many years longer than it did and that upon it's eventual demise it's refugees would just repeat the cycle and ascend to whatever new blipvert internet platform would exist at that point and find ways of continuing their utter nastiness into their thirties and forties by dousing it in pure ideology
It's not dead, it's just out of Nulls hands now. He literally thought he was going to be murdered over the last couple years and made contingencies just in case.


I love you too bb.
