Well duh if someone is a fan of a very controversial political commentator they’re most likely not gonna broadcast it everywhere and be super open about it, that’s a dumb move. Use that big brain of yours next time Joshy
Your Null impression wasn’t very good, didn’t give me any Jersh Tingles (TM)
We don't have those but I have some better.
as far as i know, (i think) this is xenforo thing and not kiwifarms
i want to explain further on this. use socks on the "talk to staff" forum/board. don't do it out in the open or else you'll get banned quickly
I don't think Null does that anymore. I'm pretty sure once he bans you, that's it. Originally you'd have to write him some long apology and promise to never bother him again before he'd let you back in.
he says that but we all know it would quickly transform into "because i said so!" or other bullshit reasons. the amount of times he's banned someone for mocking him would he publically revealed if forced to give reasons or posts that explained the ban
Crazy how SomethingAwful is more transparent than Reddit Farms in that it isn't afraid to list publicly how many users are banned. It's pretty obvious he's just ashamed of it given the "free speech" reputation it has falsely signaled over the years. He's also being deceitful about the criticism of the chat. It's true the site had a chat for 10+ years, but it was always ON THE FRONT PAGE and AT THE BOTTOM of it. It wasn't bolted onto the top of almsot every board and thread. The chat is for users who log-in frequently to chat and catch up with each other, but this is something unique to a board and it's culture. With Josh trying to turn his website into Reddit the culture is now gone.
exactly, he had so many users in chat they literally needed 4 different chats for the site. especially during major happenings or fishtank and lolcow trials. i'd say more people used chat than posted a lot of hours during the day. its like if Null decided no more movie night
He put it under Lolcows with a community thread prefix
A couple people have complained about it but they got yelled at by Null. The rest praised it and said anyone who didn't like it are autists who hate change.
Josh has been mask off with "Because I said so!" for a while now. No one's pretending KF is anything other than his personal project anymore.
It's always been his personal project since day 1.
This fact is more obvious to some than to others.
Kiwi Farms wasn't created by Null, if you didn't know. It was created by another user named champthom who quit as admin and left it up to a community vote who would take over. HHH won said vote but let Null take over since he had no interest in running a forum.
I'm aware but that's so long ago the distinction isn't really significant anymore.
It is a terrible change. What the hell was he thinking alongside the autists who liked it? It's much more of a mess, back then you can just go to a thread and ctrl+f to access it as a shortcut. And it just looks disorganized.
:The biggest growth spurts the forum has seen have been from "offtopic" happenings. I doubt most people sign up to participate in "Gorl Tawk" about fat retards.
