What was the worst Lolcow thread? -

[Ruin]

Since we're all autistic here it's inevitable that some of our threads end up going to shit due to the combined mass of our autism. Which lolcow thread was the worst of all time? Personally my vote goes to Shaner but the Entersphere was terrible as well.

Everyone fucked up in the LaVerne Cox and Alison Rapp threads. Those would get my vote for the massive amount of sperging that was done in them.

gamergate. it started out as a lolcow thread but everyone took it too seriously and they petitioned to have it moved to games so they could be srs about srs vidya games

There are lots more examples, but I immediately thought of the Alison Rapp thread when I read this thread title because it's the most recent. I was so glad when it got nuked.

Recently, probably shaner

Gamergate wouldn't be nearly as bad if it was confined to the off topic boards in the first place. The problem is it seeps into every lolcow thread for some reason.

The Allison Rapp thread was a clusterfuck of Autism. 90% of the posts were either spergs arguing about CP or other spergs mocking them for arguing about CP.

Also, it should be noted that any Chris thread that degrades into "ironic" shitposting A-logging immediately becomes cringeworthy and unfunny (even though I am often guilty of this, but I am cringey and unfunny so I guess it makes sense)

There were two threads a while ago about deviant art types with sonichu esq bizzarre childish art and very autistic creators. They were weened into oblivion very quickly.

I'll try and find the names.

The Shaner thread to me came across as a bunch of people who missed out on the glory days of Chris trolling. Since doing that nowadays is considered weening they wanted to find another CWC to troll which is why I reckon a lot of people latched onto that thread so hard and it degenerated into the trainwreck (pardon the pun) it was. I think deep down a lot of people on here want to be part of an inner circle like there was for Chris way back when. You can shut down the inner circle, but you can't take away the desire to be part of one. Well, that's just my analysis.

Oh, and how readily we have forgotten this gem.

Everyone fucked up in the LaVerne Cox

Null found the original subject matter funny so I guess so.

Allison Rapp. I loved how people used the daily stormer as a source and were alternating between saying they would fuck her and arguing about pedophilia

Lots and lots and lots of autism.

That's the short version. The long version's like this:

Somebody made a thread about an Internet reviewer called the Mysterious Mr Enter who reviews episodes of Spongebob (among other things). In under a month the thread had grown to over 100 pages and loads of new users had signed up to discuss Enter. Null decided to make a subforum to house further discussion.

Within the first few days of the subforum's existence a bunch of Enter's fans had showed up and were starting fights that completely derailed threads across the subforum. @Hellblazer and @Alan Pardew went in and made a heroic effort to keep things on track but it was too late. The main problem was that Enter isn't a lolcow so people just ended up raging about his opinions on cartoons, and his fans and haters weren't interesting enough to have a subforum dedicated to them. After one final attempt to save the subforum, Null finally nuked it because it was a lost cause.

An example of how bad it was can be summed up in a thread Hellblazer made where he carefully explained how to deal with people derailing threads, i.e. reporting them and not allowing them to derail threads into flame wars. What happened in that exact thread? An Enter white knight showed up and people started arguing with him.

Of course, after the Entersphere was gone we had to deal with the tantrums from people who actually liked that hellhole. But that's another story...

I guess it's good I really didn't get involved with that. Unlike not really getting involved with the Parkourdude drama before the fateful reveal.

In recent memory, Shaner thread, hands-down. It started with a cow who shitposted constantly, and ended with some fucktards using said literal retard like a text-to-speech program.
