I'm just another person who bit the bullet and signed up as the result of this decision. Quillette requires donations. Long live free speech (may it hopefully anyway) and fuck paywalls.

Null IRL: *notices bulge* OwO whats this?
 
Some transparency: I block a ton of disposable email providers because I get a ton of 'help me' emails from people who used them and now can't recover their account. It sucks because I can't really give them their account back without risking giving it to someone who isn't actually them. I can't verify that.

I also block certain domains (notably GMX and "mail") because they categorically refuse our inbound emails, while Gmail just likes to put it in spam.

I also block all academic emails (.edu and .ac.uk now), as well as anything with .gov. This is an existing policy I started enforcing aggressively at the beginning of 2019 by forcing all users with .edu or .gov emails to pick new ones, and I did this before the hack, so never say I don't look out for people.

“Look out for people”? I’d never protect anyone who would be retard enough use a .edu/.gov email. They wouldn’t even know what they’re getting into. That god we have our lord protector Null to guide the sheep away from this retched place.

crazy thought, but isn't people generally more interested in "on-topic" discussion (ie. eccentric individuals and communities on the Internet)?

What's the point of inviting people to see "off-topic"?

That's already explained in the opening post - it's SEO. But that said I personally am far more interested in Articles and Happenings, Multimedia and General than I am in the mockery lolcow stuff. Maybe I'm atypical.

Null, please change my sign-up date so it looks like I joined today.
 
I just skimmed through the new pages, and LOL at all the A&H fags incapable at accepting criticism and REEEEing at anyone that shits on A&H being a cancer.

Horseshoe theory is proving itself everyday.
 
Does the forum software permit tags in a post (like spoiler but with more power) that would only be visible to logged in retards?

Then you could require that for posting of article texts and Google would never know the True Secrets.

Google is gay
But A&H is GRIDS

As far as I can tell, Tutanota doesn't get along with you. Oh well, I have no problem getting off of my unjustified hipster horse of encrypted emails and go to your mainstream protonmail.
 
I signed up to your terrorist racist website because you won't let me read it anymore as a lurker.

All my future terrible posts are your own fault for making me do this.
 
Signing up for KF is one of the best decisions I've ever made. No paywall. No humorless one-note simpleton bluehairs with dicks calling themselves ladies and getting the mods to ban users if they bitch to them about being called out for being gross hairy mentally-challenged thin skinned women's-shelter-rapists that they are. Also, no Mangosteen.

I'd say I recommend everyone do the same but this forum is hidden so.. D:
 
I've lurked for a long time now and this basically just gave me the needed kick to actually bother to put in the effort to put one together.

As someone who has actually read the dumb shit in A&H if its threatening the site I personally would just axe it. It provides fleeting entertainment but it isn't what the site is primarily aimed towards.
 
Oh yeah duplicate content is one of the things that will absolutely tank a sites rankings fast. Hope the rankings recover- it shouldn't be that hard to do in theory with this site.

If it doesn't exist political spergery will bleed into other threads where it doesn't belong. A&H is a containment.

"Criticism"? Half the posts in this thread, including this very post of yours, have been nothing but progressively more smug and obnoxious versions of "A&H bad", with absolutely nothing meaningful, insightful, or constructive behind them.

@Null Have you ever considered starting a second site that is all A&H?

It would be the Disney of the internet. The Kanye of the internet. The Bezos of the internet.

It would be glorious.

A fair point on that though I'd argue it spills over no matter if there is or isn't a containment area. Here and any other site really.

A&H does make a damn fine spot for people to reply 'Lol, black people/lefties amirite?' though. Myself potentially included.
