Someone made a very suspicious fedpost and Cloudflare used that as justification to take the site down.

I'm almost 40 years old can someone explain kiwifarms to me? Sorry to be an elder millennial here. Never heard of it.
I was almost 40 30 years ago. The farms (kiwifarms) is a 'gossip site' that creates posts about weirdos and other notable characters on the internet to laugh at, and/or 'milk', in the case of lolcows, for further amusing lactation.
The main part of the website is a woman's magazine in forum form. They laugh at people who make fools of themselves but they do it in the corner not in their face. Usually.
First there was Chris-chan. The original lolcow.
Chris-chan had a thread on Something Awful forums, proto-Kiwi Farms in a sense. What people mostly did was observing his social media output and laughing at his stupid antics and tomfollery.
Then some SA forum users realized there was so much material about this man that they could fill a wiki with, and so it did. Thus CWCwiki was born.
Then those very same people realized that Chris-chan isn't the only one of its kind. So they expanded and rebranded.
CWC sounded similiar to Kiwi. So it became a forums called Kiwi Farms.
And this is Kiwi Farms, an archive gossip forums where those with lots of free time make fun of wierdos.
It's the New Zealand 4chan
