It seems like a lot of forums have died off and there are nearly no forums where you can just...say whatever the fuck you want. I remember the edgey humor of the early 2000s and all the very loosely enforced rules of websites. I remember getting tons of temporary bans, usually from Newgrounds, and there were sites where most people hated me and my antics but I wouldn't get banned because they strongly encouraged free speech. The best forums on Newgrounds closed and the other websites I used to post on are nowhere to be found. It seems there's been some kind of purge of good early 2000s discussion board websites. Nowadays there is Reddit and Discord where you will have your IP banned if a mod faces a small inconvenience that day. How is this website still around? And no, I will not go to 4chan!
 
Every time a Troon tries to kill the site it comes back stronger.

And also it's like one of the last bastions of free speech on the Internet, where you can speak the truth without being cancelled.
 
The proto-KF communities I was part of had admins with more going on in their lives than a shitposting message board; and they inevitably fucked off and abandoned the hosting to expire. Josh, on the other hand, is more donkey than man.
