I just heard about it today and I'm not sure what to feel about it.

I was enjoying the thread where they make fun of Moviebob, whom I hate, so, so, so much.

It was an interesting place. o:

Not too sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if he said that.
I think what happened was that the owner himself shut it down, because someone with his doxx got his mother fired from her job (though I could be wrong).

it was the first time i had heard of the website and i didn't really care for it
so yeah, nothing of value was lost i suppose

Yeah, this.

Considering the gimmick of that site is to bitch about a stranger from another site behind their back, I'm embarrassed that site even existed in the first place.

"A line, crossed
Today family has been attacked with demands to remove the Kiwi Farms.

Under normal circumstances, I would encourage them to take measures towards protecting themselves and their reputations. It would be time-consuming litigation, but that is the sum paid for freedom of speech.

Some of them have too much to lose. Too much that cannot be protected, and if lost, would not be recoverable. Things they've worked their entire lives for that could never be given back.

Threats to people in my family back generations. People I've never even met.

I have thought hard about the cumulative value of the site and all the opportunities it presents me and us, as a community. We have done amazing things. But, the cumulative damage outweighs all of that. It is enormous.

I've done what I can, and there is more I can do, but nothing to ease the burden from relatives.

There are many people with copies of the forum. I expect it to return. That's out of my control.

There is no punchline. This is the end. Goodbye, for now."

I agree it's despicable and two wrongs don't make a right, and what they did to him and his family is just plain wrong.

But at the same time, I cannot help but think, dude, you kinda had to see that coming if the members of your own site were doing the exact same things to other people you folks didn't like. I mean, you only start weeping if you and your family get hit; what about all the others who had stuff to cope with and THEN got hit?

Like you said, that community is gonna splinter and infiltrate others. Until the next storm comes then, we have calm.

It was an offshoot of the CWCKI forums originally, the place used to harbor info on CWC, when those got shut down it went to Kiwifarms and didn't target Chris specifically but was still the hub for info on him that wasn't even on the CWCKI yet.

I love how Vord and rat-king company tried to double down on their threats. "We have your personal info, now give us thousands of your users information too!" They're fucking lazy welfare shut-ins, what would they do with all that information?

Yeah, the whole thing's crazy at this point. :P
