You can read the thread in archives here. No evidence of this harassment exists.īyuu had a 13 page thread on the forum. If you're a regular, I promise the site will be back up this week, probably sooner rather than later.Ī Twitter user published a Google Doc explicitly blaming the Kiwi Farms for harassing Byuu. Since I can define this error page, I will use it to relay some information. You may be looking for information on Byuu / Near. While the Kiwi Farms and everything on it is legal, DoS attacks are a federal crime. Someone is currently paying money to DoS attack the forum. Truth is this whole thing reads like Byuu having a mental breakdown and other people seizing it as a pretext to harass a site they don't like. Despite claiming that Byuu's been doxed before and his name is known he's refusing to release any information that would allow anyone to independently verify his claim. This same guy supposedly contacted the police only after he was dead who totally assured him "yep, he's dead". All we have to go on is one guy who supposedly knows him and spent 90 minutes on the phone with him yet did nothing to stop him. What's even fishier about this is that there is zero evidence that he's dead. No one had even looked at that thread until Byuu emailed the admin at KiwiFarms and attempted to extort him into taking down the thread and further threatened suicide if he didn't. ![]() Apparently pointing out people being unethical or crazy is "harassment" now. The "severe harassment" consists of a 13 page thread that no one had posted to in months pointing out numerous instances of Byuu/Near behaving badly.

Near's bsnes was the first Super Nintendo emulator with 100% compatibility, and higan is a multi-system emulator supporting 26 different devices including the NES, SNES, Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, Sega Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive, and PC Engine. The linked document also focuses on the Kiwi Farms forum and the doxing and harassing of Near and their friends. Subsequently, Hector Martin, an IT consultant and Linux hacker, posted a message about Near from a mutual friend (CW: contains explicit details of Near's method of suicide) and said that they had confirmed Near's death with police in a follow-up tweet. Near posted a thread on Twitter explaining how they were affected by a campaign of harassment organized against them on the Kiwi Farms forum.
