Happy Birthday, us -

[Null]

I don't even know how to mark this occasion. I would say it's "2 years since we adopted cwckiforums dot com", but we already abandoned it because we grew too large. The forums itself existed years before the domain did. March 2014 was when we adopted XenForo, March 2013 was when we had our Lolcow board open.

So, what is today? I'm not sure. To you guys it may not mean much, especially since many of you still visit since before I ever did. It is, however, 2 years since I started running the website, so I'd like to celebrate that.

You are all really weird and running this website is in many ways the most challenging thing I put up with. It costs money, time, effort, and energy. I have had bikers sent after me, legal threats made, a hate cult formed, people have directly attacked our servers on multiple occasions. Just 3 days ago, we had a botnet attack deaglenation.tv to try and bruteforce Jace's password. That's why the site was running slowly.

Yet, we're still here, and we're really big. I've met a lot of interesting people that have impacted my life in more positive ways than I'd care to admit. I've spoken to the fucking Boston Globe about Jace in the last week. I could go on, but I don't feel like writing much more, so here's a graph. It shows posts per month and active users per month. Active users were only recorded after switching to XenForo.

Here's to two more, you assholes.

Null, you have a way to make a forum user feel all warm and special inside.

Happy birthday, Kiwis, you magnificent bastards.

I tend to drift from boards time to time, but even though it is accurate that this community exists purely because it's comprised of people who love nothing more than internet schadenfreude to doufuses who rightly deserve it, it's probably one of the most welcoming and facinating communities I've ever been in.
I think it's the general laid-back atmosphere, with how many of my old haunts having mods whose asses got sticks shoved up their butts and can't tolerate somebody calling out somebody for their bullshit, that makes the Farms even more "homey" feeling and simply a nice place to speak freely.

I have had bikers sent after me

The fact you can say this is ridiculously bad ass since clearly you survived. And somebody tried to send bikers to kick your ass over a website dedicated to simply discussing exceptional individuals who make asses of themselves online, no less.

Oh pfffft, please don't take that literally. It's a joke. Some mad nerds told me they paid bitcoins for an assassination via Tor, or some shit, and said that bikers of justice would roll by my house and slaughter me because of my involvement in Jace.

But more importantly, it's also my birthday, so...

 

[Le Bateleur]

To Null, our benevolent Nero
Leading us would make many An Hero
Yet you've built us a Farm
Where we sperg about blarms
May your cup overrun with Coke Zero

Happy anniversary, Null.

True, but what's the fun in that?

 

[Something Vague]

Here's a biker since the other didn't actually come to your house

I actually did send these bikers but I guess null fought them off. Or they just scammed me for my bitcoins .

Bumping this. As of today we have officially had three years of this gay iteration of queaky forums more like gay forums.

Despite all the server attacks and site DDoSes we have had recently, we're still here for the time being. Let's have a toast to not being dead yet, I guess.

By the grace of Ashraf Ghani's governance we live to see another year

It turned out to be Brianna Wu on a trannycycle.

Our routines will never end.
