This is mostly to my fellow oldfags, the ones from the before times:
Do you guys remember just how fascinating Chris-chan was in the early years? How insane antics like the Attraction Sign seemed, or how delusional the Sonichu story arcs felt as his rage towards the trolls and hormones took over?
I remember how all that felt and man it all just looks so innocent now compared to the cows we've since discovered and documented.
I'm not saying any of this is better or worse, it's just amazing to me that the things that kept me hooked and coming back to the CWIKI (to sneak conversations and theories into the discussion tabs) are all so tame compared to the denizens of the new kiwi empire.
Chris's views on and entitlement to women seems progressive compared to Wizard chan users and all the incel's we've seen, his former homophobia is non-existent compared to the way troons and poons talk about "genital preferences" and "the cotten ceiling", and Russell Greer's stalking of Taylor Swift makes Chris's obsession with Meghan look downright wholesome.
The body horror of the SRS thread, the delusions of the HAES beasts and the shamelessness of the online grifters, Kelly Ronahan picking her own legs off, the Pooner who set herself on fire for Palestine (and survived), hell, even just Chantal and Boogie's money fueled LoveQuests put anything we saw back then to shame.
I guess there is no point to any of this rambling. This forum has shown me a world on insanity, depravity and hilarity that I could have never known otherwise.
Its also clearly rotted my brain beyond repair, but I kind of like that.
So thanks, to all the new fags that keep this place going with discussions and discoveries, and to all the old fags who still haunt these old halls with me.
The Deagle Nation doesn't get brought up enough. It was the first and only time I understood kayfabe and why fans believe in it so much, it ran so long and with so much detail it provided a seemingly endless amount of entertainment and it was a necessary lesson on how a troll forum (oh, sorry, documentation salon) can be magnificently trolled itself.
I remember driving my partner
insane with Deagle Nation updates.
I always got a response of "No, there's no way that's real" and I would always insist it was, and to look at the antics of the other cows like ADF or PT as proof.
I was fooled, I learned no lessons and I kind of loved it.
