I havent been active on the forums for few years, but I remember that there was a huge political thread with a lot of crazy but very funny people in it.
So What actually happend?
Because Ive also read in the (new) forum rules that any political talk is forbidden.

Is there 1 single person to blame? a group of people?

I am asking because I quite enjoyed that thread.


P.S. are there any alternatives threads in here where crazy (but funny) people post nowdays?

Some say the P99 forums will come to an end if ever revived.

You probably mean the first time it got closed, which was because a far-right podcast host was trying to make croutons of the poor little off topic gremlins.

4.5 million views is effing crazy. That has to be some bots I’m assuming. Do bot views count as views?

I dunno it was an enormous thread that was up to hundreds of pages, I wouldn't give all the credit to mere bots. It was all the respectful and insightful discussion where we'd go "ah yes, I had not considered that" and we got along and everything was fine and good

Is anyone stressed that politics is kinda forbidden now like not just here. Butt kinda everywhere? Unless it's coming from an echo chamber or MSM

Ngl did need a huge break from politics.

Butt also srsly sucks there's just so much going on r now. And reddit and 4chan r just like the ass ends of the net for politics.

I guess if u wanna talk about something u can post in my discord for now.

70% of the people in this country have a complete mixture of untenable and totally useless political beliefs based totally on what makes them feel gud or are afraid of. It's a pretty hopeless situation nomatter where anyone is at on the political compass.

the community here has been scattered to the winds for awhile now, either different EQ servers or just people moving on, shitposting on social media or other websites

RnF and Off topic are at terminal velocity red server pop levels and have been for years.

Kind regards,

send post.

Discord is a satanic psyop to round up all the believers. I stay away from it.

"we have a new chat program"

"whats it called"

"satan soul gathering machine"

"that sounds like a great name for a chat program!"

I dont trust it.

i feel like this is a slippery slope of logic that ends with two neanderthals in a cave grunting at each other as the purest form of communication though.

You want to know how you can tell it is the end of society as (we) know it?

There was no exodus to a new internet aggrigator when Reddit became overrun by mods and executives screwing their customers for $$$ like there was from Digg to reddit.

This generation, is incapable of building literally anything.

GDQ is a mob racket. They employ the classic technique of appearing benevolent to make examining them rude.

You're not against doctors without borders, are you? You're not against curing cancer, are you???

Or maybe not, I dunno who cares.
