Your first impression of Kiwifarms? -

[OrbOfDiscourse]

I joined in May 2017, but I had heard of it i believe a year or so prior. I was directed to the thread on PK, and at that time I had heard from people that the people who used the farms were very undesirable people. Because of all the bad talk surrounding the farms I initially believed it to be a site full of people spreading lies and trash talking people for no good reason. I was cautious of the farms and and the things people said here.

Then the thread on thumbcramps was made, and being a person who was personally affected by her I was intrigued and watched the thread. I made a few posts, and had a few people who were rude to me (though looking back on them, I was being a bit cringe so I don't blame them, I find their responses funny.) but there were other people who were genuinely kind and considerate and wanted to know my side of the story. I don't talk on too many threads, I usually just stalk a few threads here and there, and I came to conclusion that there's a lot of credible and nice people on the threads. A few nut jobs, but overall pretty pleasant people.

So I wanted to know, when did you guys first hear of the farms? What was your impression of it then and what is it now? What was the first thread you read, and participated in?

First heard of the Farms through Metokur when the Zoocrew shit dropped. I was introduced to Animal Control that way at least.
My impression based on AC was the site was full of jackasses who didn't know what they were talking about when it came to communities as a whole and not just the bad eggs.
I've since seen I was brainwashed by said communities since posting more here. I won't break ties with friends I made before coming to the Farms, but I still vet them privately every now and then, and I vet any new people I meet online.
Funnily enough, the first thread I posted in was the Hartley Hooligans thread when one of them died. This very account was made on a split decision, and while I don't always make the best impulse decisions, coming here was the best thing for me.

First impression?

"Oh, sweet, I have a new place to talk about CWC with like-minded people who are fascinated by the fat autist."

Yeah, that's right, I joined the Farms when it was still the CWCki forum and the only lolcow discussed here was none other than C Dub himself. After having like 3 messageboards focused on Chris shut down, it's nice that this place not only stuck around, but expanded into the Kiwi Farms we know and love today.

I first heard about it when Kiwi Farms was the CWCki Forums about five years ago. Back then it's main focus was Chris Chan and I thought it was awesome as I had been following Chris since 2008. I lurked on and off afterwards and finally joined a couple years later in 2015.

I had to get hiatal hernia surgery to stop the vomiting. I started posting here after that.

 

[tofu dog]

Was 100% led here because PK and Eevee wouldn't shut the fuck up about it on twitter, my first impression was wariness but I got over that when I saw that archiving rules are upheld, because even if I disagree with some of the people who post here, that doesn't change the material presented.

"Wow an up to date cwcki that actually loads."

 

[Night Terror]

i joined back when it was a small comfy forum with less than 200 hundred people on it
i liked the chill vibe

 

[Wild Triangle]

I'm a noob who joined summer of 2018 while trying to find updates on Jani Schofield. While exploring the forums, I recognized some former drama queens from my emo Tumblr days and felt very satisfied that I made the right choice in leaving Tumblr and not following them anymore lol.

Randomly clicked the link on the front page of the CWCki and for a moment forgot that people can openly say "nigger" and "faggot" outside of Encyclopedia Dramatica without censoring themselves. Thought it was just a weird little forum, even fell for the time @Dynastia was "posing" as Amy Lee for about a week before I lurked moar and noticed it was a joke. But the site didn't sit well with me for some reason.

Still took until Brexit and everyone on the Internet freaking out over the (then) uncuckery of Great Britain before I remembered those weird Kiwis and wanted to see what they thought. The confetti sold it for me, and months later the Trump Derangement Syndrome thread was too hilarious to pass up. Oh, and Solidmario coming back from the dead.

I've since infected my friends. Sometimes I wonder how I even still have friends.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I heard about it when Dear Leader was a guest on The Dick Show, and lurked for a year or so before joining.

It seemed like an alright place, but people talked about it like it was the devil so I didn't join. Then I finally caved in a made a profile because I can't help shitposting.

I love it here.

 

[Boxed in Lurker]

I had never ever heard of the farms before I joined. Didn't even know it existed until PK/Glip went silent on twitter and on her websites. I decided to literally google "What happened to Glip" and her thread was I think the first result or if not the first, very much in the top 5.
Had a positive view of the farms because of the thread and I still do now

Those were hats of justicer.

"Oh hey, there's a forum talking about that weird Sonichu guy I heard about years ago. I wonder what on earth he's doing?"

It was still the CWCki Forums when I joined. Christ, feels like a lifetime ago.

 

[Golly]

"Man, I hope Alan Pardew can take care of this place. Cwckiforums shuts down a lot." and later "Lol OK I guess we can call ourselves that."

@Alan Pardew is a loser.

I, too, am a retard who likes laughing at other, bigger retards, plus it'll be fun to post somewhere where I'm in the left 20% instead of the right 20%
