Forums / Discussion / General

I might get downvoted for this but The forums are really dead, there are nobody posting anything and it just seems very lifeless. What happened?, I might leave guys

Most people that actively post went to the Discord, from what I've read. Oldfags still lurk, but the bulk of the activity of proper KYMcore people is on Discord. From what I've seen, the thread with the most activity is the politics general, being followed by the current "new UI is SHIT" general (or "New site layout?" as it's called.)

Really, you don't have to leave if you hate the activity – forums are great because you can actually catch up on what people say instead of going through a whole load of shit and messages that may sound disconnected from one another like on Discord, so it's much more pleasant to read through. So you can lurk once in a while, though you have my condolences if you expected more.

The latest update fucking sucks, I mainly use this site to sort by most comments the past 24 hours and that doesnt work anymore.

Whoever planned this update deserves a cactus shoved up their ass

Been here for ages, watching things gradually get worse, Reddit/TikTok bots taking over and flooding the site with shit, actual people leaving, actual memes dying. I went through one shitty UI update way back when. I probably won't be sticking around to get used to this one.

I will probably visit this KYM once in a while but this is definitely not the N.1 site I go when I expect a strong community and memes

I think hopefully we are just in the process of rebirth right now, lots of old users are leaving but finally new users are coming in.

Why Trump? he doesn't give a damn about this KYM

The 2016 election was the real nail in the coffin for the internet

Can you explain why?

It was a shitstorm in here for a while with different factions trying to take over, me going crazy didnt help either but things were pretty bad even without me.

As I had predicted politics being the ONLY thing on the trending tab kind of pushed everyone who contributed consistently away….

This website would be in a much better state if Kamala had been elected instead but I dont have a time machine sadly

After that point the only way you could survive on the internet was by joining one of two annoying tribes and both tribes got progressively worse over time.

every site became a culture war slop farm after that

Exactly

I'm not into politics but if Kamala Harris won, I don't think the internet would've changed too much. I believe people would just make a lot of memes of her just like they did to Joe Biden in 2021

Two tribes?, do you mean republicans and democrats?

Yes but more specifically the particular "mainstream" left group in X server or website and the particular "mainstream" right group in X server or website.

It is NOT enough to be a leftwjng or a rightwing if ylu go against what the main tribe of your website you will get annihalated by the group that is supposedly on "your side"

There were moments of calm where both "tribes" lost power but by then I had drank the political cool aid too much to take advantage of it….it is WAY WAAAY too late for me so word of advice for you who is just starting your journey…dont drink the cool aid you WILL get addicted to it and start acting like either a clown or a bully eventually

This is why I stay away from X, That site just feeds you negative energy 24/7

I am glad you are, yeah you dont want to end up like me addicted to some really self destructive shit. Politics can be worse than cocaine for you at times…..

Its been gradually going downhill since they closed the cringeworthy gallery back in 2014, you have had a lot of the "regulars" get banned/deactivated or just left over the years, and add it more user unfriendly UI, more garbage tier "memes", and the awful amount of Ads.

Yeah that moment really killed the website cause without cringe we all got so bored we fell for the trap that is culture war bullshit as there was little else to do besides fapping to softcore porn…which you can only do so much

lets be real the real downfall was l boy deactivating his account

Politics ARE very important but I cant say the internet is improving for the better.

internet politics were way better before 2016 as they existed, people still talked about important issues…but it wasnt a 24/7 culture war that took over everything

Like I am not saying we should just ban all politics or stop talking about politics but I am pretty sure we need to do more than just that…especially the culture war bullshit…or this website will just continuing dying

Funny that you should mention him. It seems he's just taken an interest in impersonating me on Twitter.

Not gonna lie…feeling guilty I was gonna originally say something whiny and emo in this thread like "maybe I killed this website singlehandely" but then i realized that ouldnt be right as that would make me insanely overpowered

I could destroy entire websites….I could ruin 4chan AND 8chan by joining them if I felt like it, hell counting how important the internet is I could ruin entire countries by just joining them…. I could finally destroy my enemies China and Canada…the fucking power over ruin and self-destruction itself I have would be way too op….

So yeah while I do feel guilty, that is not it at all lmao

You are living on a fantasy world lol

Nah I am just anticipating the comments blaming me for this website going downhill by taking it to its logical superpowered conclusion

So you were just fucking around, and not really being delusional?

Yep that one was just a joke

Apparently the ones running the site want people to think so with breaking the comment sections so that they only update hours later

Yeah right now only the forums actually work

Like of course the website is dying you literally cant make comments anymore

And we've been reporting it since it started
would be nice to at least hear from the staff what's going wrong
because it's the same thing on the new design site too

Yeah I was like "wow a new layout that doesnt suck"…. then they ruined itby having comments no longer fucking work

1 step forward 2 steps back

This site is so trash now, why bother using it?

You tell me.

I'm still here because I've been here for a literal decade and old habits die hard. You made a new account like yesterday. Why?

That's not me

Well I thought this site was cool until it wasn't

This fucker is trying to get me banned, fuck you!

Yeah that guy sucks

You know him?

Yeah he posts porn and gore here ever so often out of anger, I showed him sympathy cause it seemed like the mods had screwed him over and that is why he went crazy….he proceded to stab me in the back…and now he wants to get you banned….

He is kind of a psychopath tbh…. wouldnt be suprised if one day he just doxxes someone….

I can't even click his profile to report him

Is there even a way to report?

I think there is yeah sadly the guy keeps coming back like springtrap

Why he bothers us and this website when the people he actually hates and screwed him over are mostly in the discord server is beyond me (not that he should it just shows he aint that bright) but what the guy should really do is stop posting and get laid

He's a virgin, leave him alone

Look at the thread he just posted

Yeah guy is clearly single (same) and doesnt seem to have much friends or social life (even compared to me) its kind of genuinely sad…. he really needs a therapist…. and medication

It'd take one hell of a neurosis to get yourself banned by someone on a small-time internet forum that most people have ever heard about, and make it your life's goal to mildly inconvenience them a couple times a year. For over a decade.

Imagine if you took that time to get your life together instead. You could be a fucking doctor by now. Or a supervillain.
