Was there any beef between /cow/ and KF? I always assumed all /cow/posters were farmers.
Since you're a new register, I will assume you don't know much about the history of this board or /cow/. Sorry if someof what I say here is already known.
Way back in the day, over a decade ago, Kiwi Farms was named the cwckiforums. The cwckiforums was a webforum for people to go to so they could ask one another about what would happen if Chris-Chan shit his pants or if he finally got a hold of that dastardly Clyde Cash. It was made, basically, because the forum's original owner
@champthom wanted to create a containment for the people flooding onto the cwcki (which is a wiki dedicated to Chris-Chan) would just stop shitting up the user talk pages with senseless and retarded bullshit. All the while, there were several iterations of /cow/, which began with the /kkk/, a board hosted by @kopyboat, a lolcow in his own right, but someone who has been useful in some way throughout Christory, but that's neither here nor there. There have been several versions of /cow/ though, one even run by
@space pirate! One by
@JEWS, but none of that matters either.
So anyway, even from the beginning, the cwckispergs and the /cow/fags always had some degree of bad blood. People tried to categorize it as having to do with one side enjoying the trolling aspects more and wanting to get involved or being more a-loggy, and the other taking things too serious and wanting to just document a bunch of boring shit. Really, there wasn't much rhyme or reason to it, it was what it was, but /cow/ was always more harsh and frankly, more provocative towards cwckiforums and would often use the fact that cwckiforums users had usernames attached to them as a way to aggregate embarrassing posts and sometimes dox (even though doxing wasn't really "in-style" at the time). /cow/ was the first one to move beyond Chris and eventually enough users motivated the same change to take place here. That was about the time
@champthom stepped down and gave control of the forum to
@Null.
The rivalry seemed to simmer down around this time. I believe its because /cow/ users began to migrate to KF because of the slick new xenforo
@Null installed. Also, /cow/ always was rudderless and needed continuity. Continuity is one thing
@Null did grant this community, at least in the form of administration. Eventually, Deagle Nation occurred and the Kiwi Farms name was born from a misinterpretation of the cwckiforums name.
