I was informed a few days ago by u/AcidOverlord that KIA 1 removed their links to the original 8chan GamerGate thread.

I feel that it is necessary to help preserve our heritage as we approach the... JFC, 10 year anniversary of GamerGate. While the lies about everyone are still out there, we still do have the evidence of what happened on that crazy month of August in 2014.

So, I've linked those threads to our sidebar.

Here is the modmail that Acid sent, for transparency sake.

It seems like the end has finally come for the KiA/8chan GG relationship, at least with KiA1. They have quietly removed the crosslinks from the sub that pointed to the 8chan.moe/v/ board where the GG threads are still going, and the link to the great thread repository on 8chan.moe/gamergatehq/. The first link disappeared a few months ago and I asked Hat if there was a reason, and he said he didn't know and went silent.

Yesterday I noticed that the main link was gone as well, and started a topic to ask the community and mods if something had happened. They immediately removed the thread and said that it "belonged in modmail", but I have already asked them about it via modmail and received only silence as a response.

Its my speculation, but I've noticed a bit of a narrative over the past year or so building in their community where 8chan's half of the contributions that made GG a thing are being downplayed and dismissed. Like parts of the community and especially the mods want to divorce themselves from that bit of history and pretend that GG was solely a Reddit and Twitter affair. If I'm right, then this would seem like an expected eventual conclusion to that arc.

What do you guys say? If you link us, we'll change the thread links and links on the GG board from reddit/KiA to here in gratitude.

Sorry about the delay. I have a problem reading modmail too.

Send me the links and I'll post them.

The main GG discussion is on the videogames board. https://8chan.moe/v/

the GG archive is at https://8chan.moe/gamergatehq/

I'll let our boys know to updates the links. Long live KIA2.
