Joshua Moon, better known by his online alias "Null", is the current owner of Kiwi Farms.

During the spring of 2018, Null began acting as Chris' volunteer advisor, helping him by filtering his email messages to weed out ween messages from legitimate business dealings, as well as offering advice, such as warning Chris not to invade people's personal space at other conventions after Chris' behavior had gotten him kicked out of TooManyGames. He had felt motivated to assist Chris after learning that malicious weens had scammed Chris out of enough money to put him at risk of losing his home.

Ownership of Kiwi Farms

“	I started hosting the CWCki Forums in 2013. Before Bob died, trolling Chris was particularly funny, but after Bob has died, it has become less funny and more miserable every goddamn year.	”
Null, on Chris' current-day trolls.

Main article: Kiwi Farms

Previously existing as a Chris-focused message board in various iterations, in February 2015 the CWCki Forums was consolidated into the Kiwi Farms, shifting focus away from just Chris. Null is the current owner of the site, though has often referred to Chris as a "dead cow". Until 2018, he rarely interacted directly with Chris.

Fundraiser

The Kiwi Farms care package.

The smaller items included, including a letter.

In 2014, after Chris accidentally burned down his house, Null sympathized, as he himself had suffered a house fire in his youth. He organized a fundraiser on the forum that resulted in several hundred dollars worth of supplies being sent as a care package for Chris to get on his feet again, with the remainder of the amount sent as a money order. Mistakenly thinking that the money order was signed incorrectly (and thus rendered useless), Chris insulted Null by calling him a "Dodo brain" on Facebook. In 2017, Chris piled on by tweeting "Null is a dull lull; LOL."

Rescue from the Idea Guys

In late April 2018, Anna McLerran contacted The Captain stating that she was worried Chris was being actively manipulated. She was unable to get any confirmation, however, due to Chris refusing to give any information. In response, "Operation: Kingsnake" began.

Discovery of the Idea Guys

Based off of this information, The Captain began attempting to contact Chris. He was eventually able to gain his trust, but only by playing along to his delusional beliefs. Chris then revealed to him that he was in a top-secret Discord chat with the Idea Guys on a separate account they had created for him. At this point, with the coaching of Marvin, The Captain had multiple conversations with Chris in which he attempted to convince him that the Idea Guys were bad people who had only hurt “fake” characters. Chris eventually came to believe him, but only after using his “mind powers”. In response, he gave The Captain full control to his accounts so he could gather evidence against the Idea guys.

Infiltration

When The Captain first logged in to Chris’ Discord account, he was overwhelmed by how far the Idea Guys had gone to take advantage of Chris. Their tactics ranged from extortion, to threats, and even blackmail. He once again went to Marvin with this information. To stall the Idea Guys so they could collect evidence, the two began roleplaying in the server as Chris. This stalling lasted upwards of a week. Whenever the Idea Guys asked The Captain something he didn’t know, The Captain would ask Marvin and Chris for direction and then reply accordingly. At one point during the week, the Idea Guys became suspicious, and asked Chris to post photographic evidence to prove that he was indeed himself. They quickly had Chris take this photograph for them, writing the desired message on a dry erase board. They were also able to collect the IPs of Wise and Boyd using an IP tracer, as well as the IP of a third unidentified Idea Guy. During this time, Chris was told to take a break from the internet for a week, to which he complied. He spent that week catching up on the shows Wise and Boyd had “banned” him from watching, which included My Little Pony and “nearly everything on Crunchy Roll”.

Eventually, Marvin managed to build a script that ripped the server's chat logs straight from Discord, archiving the hundreds of pages of the Idea Guys' debauchery. Once all of the images and chat logs had been saved, Chris’ Discord account went unused and remained offline. A couple of days later, Wise and Boyd realized what this new inactivity implied, and began sanitizing the server. They banned Chris from the channel, and deleted every private message they had sent him one by one. For them, however, it was already too late.

Extortion

Receipts of items Chris bought for Wise and Boyd.

“	I get that $6000 isn't the white collar crime that brings down the hammer, but we're talking about unhinged lunatics who are coaxing mentally ill people into punching themselves.	”
Null, describing his frustrations with law enforcement.

Midway through their infiltration of the Idea Guys’ Discord, Null was brought into the process. As more information poured in, he personally became involved, filing reports with the FBI, Green County Sheriff, and even calling Boyd’s mother. Chris began taking steps to assist any future investigations, imcluding getting a new phone number, and forwarding Null, Marvin and The Captain any and all suspicious incoming messages. He then gave the three full access to all of his accounts. Chris also began collecting all of his receipts from Food Lion, which he had used to purchase Amazon/GameStop gift cards for the Idea Guys with. He also took screenshots of his GameStop order history to prove that he had purchased and sent PS Vitas and other items to Wise and Boyd’s personal addresses. In total, the Idea Guys extorted approximately $6000 from Chris. This resulted in Chris facing serious monetary issues.

Strangely, to this day law enforcement have yet to act on any of Null’s reports. Green County Sheriff Steven S. Smith refused to act, stating that it was Chris’ choice to shit on the floor. The FBI was sent his IC3 twice (once online, another in-person by Chris) but no action was ever taken. Thus, Wise and Boyd have yet to face any legal repercussions for their extortion and blackmailing of an exceptional individual.

Protection from future trolls

E-mail monitoring

The 'dull lull' himself.

“	Null has the passwords to the accounts. He checks shit, deletes shit. Chris doesn't act on any messages unless Null gives it the OK first.	”
Marvin, describing "Operation: Guard dog".

After the Idea Guys were successfully removed from power, Chris began speaking to Null, Marvin and The Captain regularly. They began actively monitoring his accounts, with Null personally reviewing all of Chris’ emails. This lead to Chris and the three to speak on very friendly terms, with Chris even drawing Null his very own original My Little Pony character. They also began coaching Chris on how to better protect his social media, though their efforts were most likely in vain.

Publications

Null has written and published a handful of articles onto Kiwi Farms regarding the content retrieved during their infiltration of the Idea Guys' discord server.

On 11 July 2018, Null released his account of the dismantling of the Idea Guys onto Kiwi Farms, dubbing the group “The Chris-Chan Extortionists”. Written for a broader audience, he reveals to what extent the Idea Guys had manipulated Chris, and his frustration with law enforcement’s inaction.

On 13 July 2018, Null released Cryzel Torture, a nine-hour-long chatlog in which Wise and Stephen Boyd berate Chris and continue to convince him that his characters were being tortured.

On 19 July 2018, Null posted The Bad Beginning, the first 9 hour and 15 minute long text conversation found in the Idea Guys' Discord server.

Inevitably, Null’s involvement in the "guard dog" saga didn't last long, as Chris' incompetency pushed Null away like so many others before. Null was quickly alienated by Chris due to his refusal to play along with the Dimensional Merge, and as a result, Null lost much of the sympathy he initially held for Chris. In a livestream from November 2018, he stated that he no longer wanted any part of the operation, finding the enabling tiresome. He also reveals that at one point, he had arranged for a moderator who lived near Chris to drive to his home when Barbara died so Chris could be swiftly moved into an assisted living facility.

Later developments

The 'Teen Troon Squad' reveals themselves

Main article: Teen Troon Squad#The reveal

On 25 December 2018, a person posing as Magi-Chan posted a tweet linking to a (since taken down) Pastebin, now referred to as "The 'Teen Troon Squad' Reveals Themselves". This Pastebin elaborately doxes Lukas, one of the squad's members, revealing his birth name, home address, and a supposed phone number. Naturally, when the link was first released, there was much speculation as to who had actually written the tweet. Ultimately, it was determined that it had to have been done by someone Chris had trusted with his password; significantly narrowing down the suspect pool. Lukas would later claim that The Captain was responsible for doxxing him.
