Default what happend to the huge political thread in here?

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.

Sleep gentle giant. May you never wake again.

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.

There was this 2016 gem:

But it didn't come to the size of the "the i dont care about politics anymore thread"

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