The Relentless March Forward -

[Aidan]

Joined this year after lurking a bit and while I'm not a devout follower of any lolcows these days, those who do keep up have given me a lot of laughs since I found this place. This place has a lot to offer and I really am grateful for your active maintenance.
It's been a long time since I actually enjoyed a forum.

Also you have a good mind to archive things rather agnostically which is underrated and increasingly important, thank you.
You're a good admin which seems to be increasingly rare as time goes on and that's from a noob who doesn't even know the half of the shit you've put up with over the years.

Happy New Year folks, let's enjoy what we have now and don't lose hope for the future.

Cheers for running this forum and doing all you have done for our community, @Null. As for the doxbox feature, it's not my preferred option and I question whether it will make that much difference given that Google wants to keep its yoke on dissenters' necks and the fact we dox cows is just a pretext for doing that, but you are the Dear Leader of this forum and if you feel it's best then it's not my role to question you.

Regarding Section 230 repeal, and at the risk of puzzle pieces, I'd like to quote an old Finnish patriotic song.
Jos ruumimme kuolee, niin sielumme jääpi,
perinoksiin armahan syntymämään.
In English, that means ”if our bodies die, then our souls will remain, as a heritage for the beloved land of our birth”.
If our forum dies, which looks more likely by the day, then our spirit - the spirit of shitposting and of the internet which was before wokeness killed it - will remain, as a heritage, in a sense, for future generations.

Happy New Year, and let's hope that we survive in it.

Thank you for allowing me the only place I can talk about my personal views and sort out my thoughts without being considering the world's greatest monster.

It's scary that people finding out I post here is more dangerous than any of you autists figuring out who I am.

I'm glad things seem to be settling down somewhat and that we're not in any (imminent) danger of removal. Thank you Josh for all the sacrifices you've made because of your involvement with KF and for the sake of freedom of speech. You're brave and you have scruples, which is something I can appreciate both in you and just as a general human trait.

happy new years

If I have to log in to laugh at the Bad Tattoos of Inappropriately Doodled Penises to defeat SEO then I shall. Not sure how we euros can donate anonymously - if there’s a way I will.

happy new year null. You put up with a lot of shit for this place, and I wish you happiness whatever happens to it. May 2021 bring you to some good places.

‘Tak a cup o’ kindness yet...’

 

[Mushroom Soup]

Love u jersh, if we get a big fat $2000 stimmy I'll donate some to KF.

 

[artilleryfroth]

Thank you Nool for your service, and if COVID-19 ever stops buttfucking my industry I’ll happily chip in to help keep this place afloat.
Wear a fucking mask people, let’s get this crap over already please...?

I wonder how tabloids fare compared to the forum when their publications are purposely false and centered around high profile targets. Money I suppose.

Promoting funny over politics.
The world is different than it was in 2015. In the time since, the Internet has been ruined with politics. In truth, we've made out better than most communities. I believe we can reduce the impact of the harrowing political realities of everyday life by bullying people more. This is an additive focus, rather than a reductive one.

In a conversation I had with @Daisymae, I came up with an idea for promoting new content. A challenge I've had in helping people submit new threads is balancing: the need for information, keeping the task simple enough anyone can do it in one sitting, and also being an objective standard with rules anyone can understand. A step towards this is what I will call the Postcard Rule.

This is a great idea, the current standard for threads is off putting imo. Would you consider doing more one person streams as a way to promote lolcow content? I'm sure people would be willing to help put together info for you.

Also, what if a cow doxes themselves in a video for example? Don't post? Some of the people I follow like giving out their address in their videos.

I switched to Brave post 230 announcement, and I gotta say, I don’t know why people aren’t using it. Really nice interface, secure (so far), and ez for a non computer boomer like me to understand.
This is the only “social” media account I have, and the only one I care enough to maintain. Happy New Years to every kiwi and I pray for the best.

I autistically avoid Chromium and just use tor but I do feel that after I've been around long enough I gotta pay Null my dues. I intend to but the future is so wild and I have big things coming up so am being a frugal bitch until the fog clears.

 

[Drowningman]

Dear Leader has spoken and we must ponder his words..Fuck... fire up the doxxing!

 

[Had]

I switched to Brave

I just hate having to move over site logins but I finally got myself a new system this season so I also moved over to brave and it's slick as hell I'm still unsure of how the bitcoin systems work but I hope null is able to use my rtx to pay his rent.

 

[thegooddoctor]

I'm excited about this new Postcard Feature, Godpeed Null, I appreciate your Insane efforts to keep A place up and running In such A long and excruciating slog of a year. Have A Happy 2021.

 

[Uncle Warren]

I explicitly say I do not have a precise plan for this. I think you're asking "do I have to do any work", which the answer is "no".

Alright then. I mean I wouldn't mind much.

Make ourselves feel better by making others feel worse? This unironically works for me.

If you can fill out this postcard, you can post your thread. Mods will still delete obvious PA requests and anything substandard to this.

I never thought the old Britbong idiom of "answers on a postcard" would still have relevance in current year but here we are. Maybe I'm but hopefully this will generate more cow-related content without a significant drop in quality occurring in the process. Will be interesting to see what impact this has on PG in particular and the Farms in general.

BTW congrats on surviving 2020, Null. Here's hoping 2021 doesn't anally violate the Farms too hard.

 

[Local Fed]

Thanks for the site, Null. And thanks to everyone else here who makes it worth visiting. Here's hoping you all have a good 2021.

 

[useless lurker]

Thanks for everything you do, Nool. Getting through this year would've honestly sucked x1000 more without the Farms, and I appreciate how you endure all this stress and bullshit just to keep the lights on. Wishing you and your fam the best 2021 possible, given the current state of things. Keep fighting that good fight.
