I know this must seem like a really a stupid question for those with the necessary background knowledge but I've been trying to figure it out for a while.
Update: I get it now! KIA2 is KIA with blackjack and hookers.

That's a huge part of it, but it went beyond that. One other big issue was that the rules were inconsistently and ideologically applied. No one likes the mods' new rules, but then they weren't even applied sensibly. Very obviously on-topic things were deleted by the mods, because they disagreed politically. KiA1 became a "free speech" forum where we didn't have free speech. And if you complained, even politely, the mods lost their shit and actually called you names and worse. It became a very hostile place.
Another great illustration of the problems of KiA1 vs 2 is, KiA2 has 2-6 mods, KiA1 had like 20, or whatever. KiA1 is moderated by cultists.
Also the outright hostility certain mods showed when interacting with regular posters who called them out on their double standards. To call the behavior "antagonistic" is an understatement.
And then the other mods would come in and circlejerk with them in the thread to boot.
Remember when they tried that in KIA2 and got laughed at?
Multiple times, it never stopped being funny.
Shit, i think one of them came here and tried acting nice but its like... really nigga?
Auron was one of the few respectable mods but i don't know if he still is... he was a lefty faggot but he was at least cool most of the time.
Pepperidge Farm remembers!
It was kind of fun arguing with Shadist. His arguments never had any legs to stand on, but he'd act like he was right purely because he had the power. I'm shocked he never outright banned me for challenging him. I guess he was smart enough to realize martyring someone who has called out your ability to silence opposition wouldn't be a good look.

Also Shadist : pinned megathread on the death of CringeAnarchy
He just didn't want people to talk about the TRP quarantine because it proved all my "insanity" was right.
The absolute best was that little "reformation period" they had where supposedly they were going to apply their rules more fairly, they had a talk with Shadist and he was going to stop insulting people, and a couple other bullshit claims.
Then you scroll down and in that same goddamn megathread just a few hours later you had Shadist insulting people and the mods dogpiling people for saying that they didn't believe them.
Agreed. That was the final recognition that KiA mods appeared to be of the opinion that they'd grown beyond the userbase.
