I made a thread. Oh wait, you meant a thread about killing ADF irl?
IMO I consider ADF's brutal murder to be almost axiomatic, i.e. we're literally killing him with every word we type

Jace still lives on!This is, what, the fifth non-Chris lolcow subforum - and we're currently 0-5 in terms of long-term lulz.
Moleman was fun while he lasted.This is, what, the fifth non-Chris lolcow subforum - and we're currently 0-5 in terms of long-term lulz.

Jace literally saved the forum from being a weird, closed-door autism society surrounding Chris.
Tumblr cows are what bring in numbers and insane trannies now.
Loveshy is a containment board for all the bitter redpillers and Croatians who like to argue endlessly.
The only board I regret was Enter's.
If your criteria for a lolcow is "as good as Chris" you will be disappointed every time.
Mr Enter - admittedly doesn't fit the pattern, retard invasion stopped play.
Tumblr and Virgin With Rage subforums are good, and almost guaranteed sustainable because there's no one individual tentpole lolcow.
My comment was more around an individual lolcow getting subforum status being the kiss of death for their content production:
Moleman - largely stopped doing stuff/locked into an even more predictable, boring activity pattern.
Jace - was an awesome ride while it lasted, I can understand your perspective re saving this forum from Chris-centricity, but ultimately Jace has fallen off the internet.
Golden Knight - disappeared from the internet.

Chris is an interesting one. I think what makes Chris unique is that his trolling was highly organised and thoroughly documented. We know so much about Chris's day-to-day life, and this interest is self-sustaining, drawing people in who want to keep the coverage going. Solely looking from a content perspective, Chris is, in my opinion, inferior to the likes of Jace and ADF. The CWC Mace Carol aside, he hasn't done anything interesting for a very long time and this is painfully apparent from a glance at his subforum.
I suppose what might be happening is that a lolcow getting a subforum is something of a "top of the market" phenomenon - by the time a subforum happens there's already been a groundswell of interest in a lolcow's activities over a considerable period of time. Lolcows generally have a natural "lifespan" of content generation, and the period they are considered for a subforum is likely to be closer to the end of their productive window than the beginning.
So my fear is that the ADF subforum is a harbinger of Phil disappearing from the internet or something.
Even if this does happen, I still think that the subforum is a good idea. There is a lot to discuss about ADF, and the extra space facilitates this discussion. I had the same opinion of the GK and Jace subforums.
It's going to be fun - may it last as long as possible.
ADF is a special lolcow. I visit this forum everyday and I still have no idea who the fuck Goldenknight or Tyce or Enter are. I don't care enough to read 30 pages of back story to get the joke either. But one look at an ADF picture and you know this buck-toothed pouty lipped kid in Commie shit ain't right. Even people who have never been to the kiwi farms know who ADF is. He's mainstream. People laugh at him on blogs and reddit and random forums. Basically, you don't need to know what an lolcow is to laugh this particular cow.
I discovered ADF on the CWCki back in 2010 I think? Not in "I read the article on him and it got my interest to research further" discovered him but actually bumping into his profile page discovered him. At first I thought it was a joke. No one would seriously put their shitty Mary Sue artwork, inane political ramblings, and intimate personal details on a wiki about someone's whose life was ruined doing just that. But the further I poked around, the more I realized yes, he legitimately meant everything. It wasn't a character or persona. Several people were warning him to tone it down before he got the wrong kind of attention. About a year later I was on 789chan (or was it /cow/ then? I can't remember), and lo and behold, there was that familiar Mary Sue OC on the top of the page with so much more information on the author.Yeah I have always thought since I happened on this stuff in 2011 that ADF was CWC's only real rival. I think what puts things over the top is how goddamn smug and un-self-conscious he is.
---- CIS-MALE REPORTING IN ----Golden Knight - disappeared from the internet.
ADF is an autism magnet. Kinnay, Jordman, Jin, and all those other fuckers he knows have already generated plenty of material in and of themselves. Also, more people actually give a shit about ADF and his insane antics so there's some long term sustainability for this place. Very different situation.Coming in with only a passing interest in ADF, but from what I've gleaned he's... just a lot of condensed "what?"
Can't imagine this'll be worse than the Enter subforum. Enter spergs aside, that subforum died off generally because, past Enter's childish opinions and his small pet project that may or may not be dead in the water already, he was just kinda boring. ADF seems to actively engage his trolls. It's like Golden Age Chris never ended. I'm arriving late to the train but I hope the ride goes on for quite a while.
