The starting post for Joshua Connor Moon: The one he wanted hidden is now up.
"You're a pathetic, dangerous man-child, angry at the world for your own pathetic failures. This is but one of your brief moments where you act like you're conked out on drugs or something and you start pretentiously playing the victim card and offering bullshit explanations to foster a pity-defense. Yes, you are extremely pitiable. You're poor. You're ugly. You're fat. You've never had a normal relationship in your life. Your grandparents are disgusted with you. You flunked high school. Hell, despite all your contributions, you're too much of a freak to properly fit in an internet community full of teenagers."
Joshua "Null" Moon / IbanZ / IbanX / Iban / Ichverbot / CityRPG / Not Important/ n-tech / Job4_2 / PumpedUpKicks / KiwiNull / King Janny
Null, owner of Kiwi Farms, real name name Joshua Connor Moon is a cow you've probably all heard of and possibly even directly interacted with. He has been a major internet figure for well over a decade and first came into the scene as a player of the game Runescape as a young teenager. While there is no documented history from this era of his life, he was a prolific figure within the Blockland community not long after, a game of similar style to Minecraft and Roblox, frequently posting within its forum and serving as a developer of the popular mod "CityRPG".
It is immediately apparent he was a nuisance based on the amount of alt accounts he had created over time alone. Going by the names of IbanZ, IbanX, Iban, Ichverbot, CityRPG, and Not Important (Each of which he paid a crisp $20 for), he was notorious for being an insufferable prick to everyone and anyone he interacted with, constantly complaining about... something, and having strange, disturbing, and outright bizarre antics. The developer and administrator of the game BadSpot himself had referred to Josh as an "Established Retard" and the most anti-fun person he had ever witnessed.
For 5-6 years Josh had played Blockland and posted on the forums, only departing when he decided to move to different pastures. Not greener ones. At his peak Josh maintained an average of 124 posts a day on the forums.
One of his accounts, Ichverbot, only existed for a total of three days before being permanently banned by BadSpot for Josh voicing his wishes for another user's children to burn to death.
A control freak and total creep, Joshua often spoke with an air of superiority, unwarranted of course, insulting other players and subjecting them to his own set of standards.
His CityRPG mod contained backdoors that he could use to become a "super administrator" on any server he wanted via the simple command of /togadmin and an internal Name check. Its not hard to imagine he's done it with other pieces of his work, either.
Within his own servers he would ban players for using Apple products, his hatred of the company readily apparent by looking at his profile picture.
Away from the game he would commonly argue with other users on the forum, becoming a de facto antagonist of it, one spoken of as their own proto-lolcow. One of his most creepy moments was the archival of other users personal information that he would store for future doxing and blackmailing opportunities. One such thread, "Post your face pictures", was one he downloaded files from and posted himself in.
Female users in particular were disturbed by his presence. Known to live in Florida, users would joke about Josh personally visiting users at their houses and raping/kidnapping them. Other users from Florida had voiced their concerns living within 100 miles of Josh.
He would powerlevel and BAWWWW constantly, crying about how he felt unloved by everyone in his life and his yearning to go on a shooting rampage, killing his parents as well.
At an early point in his Blockland days, he made a thread detailing his hated of his mother and desire to kill her.
His famous line about masturbating to neko shota, young cat boys, a "gay phase" he had been going through, and events such as his house and belongings, cat included, being destroyed in a house fire are some of the other topics that had been brought up by Josh.
A normally tragic event for most, Josh voiced satisfaction at the death of his cat, referring to it as "Mercy killing" for a creature old and frail.
Aside from the cat boys he's also voiced love for other (Male) forum users, even going so far as to say they'd be "The new stocking". A PM to the user Jimmig regarding a picture uploaded of Robo Noob:
Despicable.
But perhaps his most prolific drama on the forum was with a female user by the name of Stocking.
Now, let's set something straight here. Both Josh and Stocking are massive attention whores and caused much drama within the community, but Stocking felt pity for a suicidal and pathetic Josh and continued to communicate with him, even after all of the ways he had threatened, insulted, and publicly humiliated her. She attempted to wrangle the tard, and the tard was having NONE of it. Josh made multiple posts and threads about his interactions with Stocking which no one had asked for, and of course making her out to be the villain of the situation. Whether Josh is the reason the Blockland forums has a drama board is a mystery, but he certainly breathed life into it.
Stocking herself had a vore fetish and would frequently ERP with Josh, of course ending with him in her stomach. At one point Josh had spent $200 to commission vore art for Stocking and around $100 in additional gifts, totaling $300, not including the $120 he spent on new accounts. This doesn't include the years worth of vore stories he wrote himself for stocking during his time talking to her.
Spoiler: Original Vore NSFW/NSFL?
At the time of their conversations, Stocking had been 15 and Josh 17/18? Josh has been inconsistent with this figure.
When he wasn't being consumed physically and mentally by Stocking, he was viciously against her, posting threads in public about his qualms with her and even going so far as to program his mod, CityRPG, to make her messages and presence on Blockland servers invisible, silently. A shadowban that no other users could opt out of. At one point he threatened to rape, chop her body up into pieces, and leave her to starve to death alone. His excuse? "I was really angry that day".
His most famous thread "Joshua Moon and Personal Agendas" created by Stocking herself, fed up with his narcissism and self-pity, documented his antics within the community.
"I remember after he found out my last name, he said that he'd show up to my house while I was at school, shoot my dad, and wait for me to get home. Then he'd subdue me, cut off each individual digit with a knife heated in hot grease so that it'd cauterize as it cut and I wouldn't bleed out. Then he'd cut off my clitoris and my labia, and then rape my ass until I shat myself. Then he'd just leave me to starve to death or something once all my appendages and my genitals were sliced off and he'd beaten me sufficiently."
"I was really mad that day." - Josh
Feeling as though Stocking was his own personal property, he didn't take kindly to other, better males firing up the chat.
And how about weaponizing your creations to automatically block people you don't like?
Here's the big pieces of the thread for you're viewing pleasure.
Spoiler: Lots
Too Long, Didn't Read: Josh is genuinely mentally ill and is socially incapable. Stocking, feeling empathy for a suicide-baiting depressed crybaby, decided to hold conversations with him, of course ending him him losing his mind, blocking her, and the cycle repeating over again. The thread is never-ending discourse between the two of them with Stocking pointing out his insanity and posts of seethe and arrogance while he dismisses her without explanation and pulls lies out of his ass.
The thread marked the de facto end of Josh's presence on Blockland, cast away by the community one final time. He still continues to visit the Blockland forums, of course, and even made a new account, "Not Important", in 2015 in response to a thread asking about him, a common behavior of his.
"Turning over a new leaf", as said before numerous times, and meaning nothing in all of them.

Gone from Blockland forums he may have been, it was not long until his face was revealed yet again to the world, and coming up next time we'll be looking at his legacy at 8chan and the battle against Anonymous itself!
Stay tuned!
"Three days ago, January 23rd 2016, Joshua and I ate pizza and watched King of the Hill. He was talking about how he had gained weight and it was hard to find clothes for people his size here, so I showed him one of my favorite episodesāāāHusky Bobby, from Season 2."
"We were waiting to go to Katipunan to pick up Modafinilāāāan alternative to Adderall, which was what he really wanted, and even went so far as to ask Ron in Japan how to acquire. The guy with it texted me, āsorry, I canāt get there until 7PM. Is that OK?ā It wasnāt OK for Josh."
"His apartment was full of empty two liters of Coke Zero, spilled coffee and other garbage, I offered to get him a professional cleaning service and I even had my personal assistant Mochi clean up after him multiple times when he refused because he didnāt want strange people around. When the donations stopped coming, I handed him a bag of cash, told him it was an anonymous Bitcoin donation but it was really me. When I was going to Japan on a trip planned way in advance, I didnāt want him to feel left out so I asked if he could come along. I helped him arrange two job offers in the small tech sector in a third world countryāāāboth of which paid more than I makeāāāand he refused both."
- A Story By Hotwheels
A man had a dream.
A dream of an imageboard. One to rule them all.
One of user board creation and uncucked administration.
Actually, he was high off weed, and his name was Fredrick "Hotwheels" Brennan (Also known as "Kikewheels" and/or "Cripplekike" for his later betrayal of the community, a reoccurring theme with these people, huh? You'll learn more later), a previous resident of the "incel" NEET imageboard Wizardchan. 8chan was the creation of a high episode, and one made in response to the declining state of 4chan, subjected to Gamergate drama and an influx of low quality users not privy to the sites culture and history.
The site maintained a higher quality userbase than 4chan for many years, but saw its death at the hands of its incompetent, malicious administrators:
Josh was brought onboard early in time, touting his skills and ability to create Infinity Next, the software behind 8chan. A friend of Josh and understanding the state of 8chan, Hotwheels handed the drivers seat to Josh, a decision that he and the rest of the community would soon come to regret.
Let's see how it went!
The IRC logs:
Josh had maliciously tampered with the source code of the original software, Vichan, to never delete posts within the database, destroying performance and "eating" posts, meaning that when you had submitted a post, there was a good chance it would fail to become visible and you'd have to submit it again. This was Josh's work to push his own imageboard software forward, and Lo and Behold!, Hotwheels removing Josh's shitty code made it work nicely again!
To make Infinity Next he received a $12,000 donation from Hotwheels. Anonymously.
The software was a disaster. The money of course was never seen again.
-Hotwheels
Sunshine!
Used 8chan? You would've had your IPs possibly stored for years alongside your posts and additional information (Like your browser user agent).
Did the community know about this? Nope, but I'd bet Josh did. He was a close friend and worker with Hotwheels.
However, Josh stated in a farewell post on medium that he left because of backdoors.
Truth or fiction? May have been a reason he left, but certainly not the only one.
Josh had many of his own security problems too:
Kiwifarms did this too, actually, but we'll look into that at a later time.
Passwords were stored in plaintext (Image has some other funny info about Jim as well)
Leaking user IPs again:
Aside from Josh 8chan deserves its own thread documenting its batshit insane administration and operation. Might make for a good future project.
Some juicy /cow/ moments through time:
Oldfag sticker sperging + Josh's hugbox protection
Internet tough guy persona with other imageboard developers Stephen Lynx and Drybones (Both of which who are still successful to this day)
Nice little observation on Josh's pattern of behavior + some talk of him even trying to host fucking Wizardchan too
"If I don't get this lolcow, NO ONE DOES!"
Past CWCki admin KatsuKitty's extreme butthurt over being banhammered from another lolcow forum.
Trolls impersonate Josh with his old Blockland name killing over 9000 students:
What do you think? Does he have lolcow typing?
Random spergout over text sizing:
Some updates in 2017 on Josh's chat logs:
And perhaps the funniest of all, the time Josh felt as though he was hunted by bikers:
Links for the ambitious!
Spoiler: Cocks
The bikers peeled off his trail pretty quickly, sadly, but it wasn't too long until Josh found himself some new "Bikers", this time pink and living in stalls:
I don't think Jim's pigs getting cancer from consuming Josh would be too good for his business.
His time with 8chan concluded within an IRC chat with Hotwheels. The Moot and Snacks of recent times.
His official narrative is a bit different:
The backdoors did become real.
What did Hotwheels have to say about Josh during this time?
Infinity Never.

https://archive.md/8bpc6
Enlightening? Very!
And with his farewell address his legacy of 8chan concluded, but his name did not.
The Kiwifarms was his next venture that he has continued to this day, and with it you'll see him in the drivers seat once again, and this time far more ridiculous.
Stay tuned!

The site maintained a higher quality userbase than 4chan for many years, but saw its death at the hands of its incompetent, malicious administrators:
- Hotwheels - The wheelchair-bound man who gave birth to the idea of 8chan. His legacy now is one of a person who betrayed his community and had broken the trust between him and the anonymous collective.
- Josh - The man? you all know and love. A friend of Hotwheels and in the beginning claimed to be the chosen one who could bring 8chan to greatness. Turned out to be an abysmal developer who leaked IPs and sabotaged other software to get his way.
- Jim - A grimy businessman who had taken over 8chan's finances and later full operation out of necessity. A self-described freemason and pig farmer. The main competitor of Hiroyuki, the current owner of 4chan. The main antagonist of Josh aside from Vordy.
Josh was brought onboard early in time, touting his skills and ability to create Infinity Next, the software behind 8chan. A friend of Josh and understanding the state of 8chan, Hotwheels handed the drivers seat to Josh, a decision that he and the rest of the community would soon come to regret.
