Pretty Ugly Little Liar

Pretty Ugly Little Liar was a forum that essentially is lolcow.farm in content and "discussion" if the users were fragile kpop stans. Despite cerebmin's efforts to direct PULLfags to the inferior farms, they still migrated en masse to LC and to this day, still fail to integrate. They can mainly be found in the fujo and incest threads on /m/.

Lolcow.org is an imageboard based on, and inspired by, /cgl/, a board to discuss cosplay on 4channel (4chan.org). It is the largest English speaking TERF image board of its type. It is a website designed for biological female adults only. The culture of lolcow is a deeply complicated one. It is Japanese themed and inspired. The boards were originally designed to discuss pixyteri. /pt/ was and remains the "pixyteri" board, which is by far the most visited board on the site, receiving as it does over 100,000 posts a day. However, it is nothing remotely like or related to Twitter. It really is an adult web site. The long running joke that has developed over the past 3 or so years is that everybody on the website, (well, on /pt/ anyway) whilst ADULTS, and reasonably intelligent ones at that, engage in moronic activities verging on the utterly stupid. The joke being that everyone acts like the same retarded individual. WHILST KNOWING THAT THEY ARE NOT. The joke is in the delivery.

The humor was fairly unique, and ridiculously complex and almost impossible to follow as a newbie. The problem that has blighted lolcow in recent years (and which really started to kick in about 2 or so years ago) is that newcomers to the site, usually heading to /pt/ to see what the fuss is all about, see the retardedness of people acting like 14-year-olds, and then start thinking that indeed, the website is a place for 14 years olds to hang out and be retarded. This in turn lead to masses of underage users flooding the site. Recent media attention makes this problem increase. Eventually, so many 14-year-olds end up browsing the site that the original adult userbase has been overshadowed by the masses of underage people who have now turned the joke inside out, and the site has now literally become a place for 14-year-olds to be retarded.

There are several problems with this. The first is that all the old populace of lolcow start whining about this very fact. The second is that the quality of posting completely degrades. The old rules were that you would have to lurk for ages before posting. And you actually would, because the in-jokes were so obscure and closely knit that lurking was the only way you had of knowing what the hell was going on. People now don't bother, and so many new users means that the original point of the board (an extension of a cosplay discussion board celebrating a retarded sense of humor crossed with visceral disgust for fat people) has been wiped clean.

This is a direct result of the board achieving widespread popularity and new users from sites like this. So now, rather than massive photoshop contests (similar to Photoshop Friday on SomethingAwful) or well written stories, either humorous, or completely obscene, written by adults, the board is flooded with people posting pictures of themselves, reposting old, long dead memes (memetics; the idea of something catching on to the popular masses, think the stupid "whasssup" Budweiser adverts...idiots shouting it at their friends and so on) that are no longer funny, people taking the idea of anonymous/legion seriously (protip: it's a joke) people reposting threads such as "you raff you ruse" without sometimes even knowing what that means, and generally forgetting that 4chan is an IMAGEBOARD and that posts should be all about interesting/freaky/funny/downright disturbing photo's, drawings and photoshops.
