>>1768 Exactly my point

>>1768 Been months since this post, but surprised no one explained why the site has it set up that way. IIRC it's because some bad actors were trying to get the site in trouble by posting obviously illegal things like CP then immediately archiving it. Nothing stopping from archiving via save web page and images though.

>>1917 Yeah. It's also a reason why 4chan isn't saved on web archives, mainly cause of CSPAM

I hope /cyoar/ find this board, the only other places are QQ and plebbit

>>1972 I hope they do too. I've just been waiting for the archive to update but it's been like 2 months. The last thread before the purge is here: https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/74560219/ And you can find the rentry tree here: https://rentry .co/cyoag My board isn't listed but I don't mind .

>>1972 >>1973 I'm here, but I doubt many other people will find it. Only reason I did was thanks to making it a point to keep track of altchans. Most of them will probably end up on reddit despite its censorious content policies, though I'm wondering how many are aware of (and hanging out in) the old /cyoag/ chatrooms (IRCs and discords, like SDA's.)

>>1974 I do my best to network people to where they need to go. SDA's discord is currently the most active, Jumpchain have a board here >>>/jumpchain/ and a link to their IRC is in the meta thread there. For altchans, you can use this: https://marge.moe/ You may find friends somewhere.

>>1975 SDA: https://discord.gg/72QNY4Y Jumpchain: https://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=#JumpchainCYOA

>>1972 Heads up, someone made a /trash/ board so there's a chance some of the /cyoar/ people find their way there instead of here, just keep an eye out for it.

I know what cyoag is, but what is cyoar?

>>1985 The NSFW/lewd CYOA general. They called themselves the refugee thread because they got banned from /d/, where they originally were, by mods seething at them and accusing them of being a caption thread (which said mod had a grudge against.)

>>1987 Ah interesting, thank you

>>1972 I only just found it now. Had no idea this place was still barely alive.

Cool that I found where at least some of cyoar went; I like it here, I think that even if 4chan does somehow manage to unshit it's goddamn pants, we shouldn't migrate back. Not only are we not in fucking /trash/ here, and dealing with all the bullshit that gets us, we get our own board, this is great.

>>1994 My phone was rangebanned from 4cucks a while back because they hate Florida I guess. Probably three years ago I found 4moe and I'm glad I did. Even though this board wasn't very active, it's nice to know it exists

>>1998 Damn...

>>1994 Yeah, but there is no one here

>>2004 The board has always been slow.

>>1994 Nah, archives don't work on this site, same with PDFs (RIP Spirit Conscript). Seperate threads for CYOA with zero discussion each. Board owner emigrated from Jim's pig farm and is untested as far as moderation goes. Only a small minority of refugees will find this board, so migration will only happen when halfchan reopens and the consensus establishes a plan of action. There's already a /CYOAG/ bunker on sharty's /MTV/. /MCYOAG/ is undecided but is preemptively rejecting this site on the basis of its rampant degeneracy. I guess you get /CYOAR/ though....

>>2011 I wasn't aware that there was a /cyoag/ thread on soyjak. *Link removed to due possible network scan on accessing the soyjak site.* We don't have archives here. And separate threads for cyoa is to take advantage that this is actually a board with space. I know that doesn't work with little to no posters, original 8/cyoa/ started to fall off due to low engagement too before that shutdown but it's how I've posted about new cyoa now since this board was created. It's easier to just ctrl+f for the thread I need rather than have to dig through generals where it could get lost. I've long accepted that it's a slow semi-archive like board because no one comes here when there's the 4chan/reddit/discord they could post in instead. This board isn't even mentioned in the rentry for the list of cyoa places. And as for moderation, there's no need when we're not known and no one comes here. We've always been on the outside due to 8chan's reputation and now we're just forgotten about. I made a sort of genealogy as you can see and we're not on any major platform to gain any traction in traffic. That's never been my desire. You guys come from the prime threads that circulate weekly or so, you're use to a high number of posts and community. Here's it's usually just been me and a few others waiting for the archive to update so I can post some new cyoa because I don't want to keep up with the threads on 4chan and steal their stuff like reddit does. And if you look back here, >>289 I actually asked anime.cafe if we could move the board over there to get off of 8chan but they shut down last year. It would have doomed the board and I would have lost everything here. If you know of any other threads or where others are do tell me. Even if people don't stay here, I can direct them to other communities where there are other people. Anons can create threads here. I'd want to see a revival of the board if possible but it seems people have already created generals on other boards.

>>1985 /cyoar/ have made a thread here: >>>/trash/9879

>>2011 >is undecided but is preemptively rejecting this site on the basis of its rampant degeneracy. Saying that whiles posting on sharty is hilarious and it just seems like they're trying to consolidate their power, since I've seen quite a few other groups claiming the same thing

>>2016 I wouldn't blame them, the porn boards have been a thorn in the side of .moe users forever. Mainly because Acid, the main admin has a blacked fetish which is why interracial always seems to be in the top 20 boards. There's been attempts over the years to get the admins to remove or at least blacklist the porn boards from the top bar but when 4chan users came along and recreated their boards, they naturally had enough traffic to finally push them off. But as I said, I understand why they wouldn't want to be here.

Also BO this maybe my first post iirc, but I've been watching you over the years lurking since you saved it from 8kun's collapse and you have my thanks and are appreciated.

>>2018 I know. I've only ever wanted to post /cyoa/. This also isn't the only board I've been helping over the past few days and a few of the other admins have been stretched thin helping others set up. It's a tiring time for us all.

>>2019 But know that you are blessed and loved

>>2023 Thanks. I appreciate it.

>>2011 >There's already a /CYOAG/ bunker on sharty's /MTV/ They're going to get brainrot, I can only imagine how terrible their content is going to be when they come back with a bunch of underage psychopaths obsessed with wojaks, or convert into such a thing.

>>2028 >>2012 Thanks for keeping this place alive

>>2012 Anons don't care for CYOA dumping, if they wanted that, they would go to Reddit or, god forbid, browse the Allsync. Technically, the archive does exist, it's just hard to navigate, requires manual backing up, and destroys media. Navigation and backup can be handled by the threadslave, but media being lost is a hard sell. Best workaround for media is requiring the original desciptive filename so it's immediately obvious what was posted even if it can't be viewed. The thread cycle is pivotal to discussion as a new thread make previous discussion cease and allows new topics and CYOA to be viewed. I'd say keep the image limit, but lower the post limit to 500. No thread should last longer than 2 days. Most of what disgusts /CYOAG/ about /CYOAR/ is niche fetish content and the belief that sexualization degrades the hobby. Otherwise the hate is mostly one way. As such /CYOAR/ should have a containment thread and maybe be broken up between extreme fetish content and mild sexuality but that last part is up to /CYOAR/. No explicit content should be posted outside of their primary and associated threads, with all explicit content spoiler marked. /MCYOAG/ is going to refuse to participate regardless so no point apealing to them. While having all of the one CYOA threads is neat, there is zero discussion for vast majority, many of them are lewd and not spoiler marked. I'd say delete them, but if all goes well, they'll get bumped off anyways. Not being able to post pdfs is quite bad, if it wasn't so, Spirit Conscript could be posted and kickstart discussion. Maybe we can get EntropistAnon to release Conquest here? Everything should be kept in Three thread until there is enough activity to have multiple discussion threads. First thread is a general CYOA discussion, second thread is a CYOA creation thread seperate from meta, and third is lewd CYOA containment. Anons will do as anons do though so organic threads should not be pruned unless made in obvious bad faith. The last point of contention for CYOAs is that of exposure, one of the main reasons for staying on halfchan is that there was enough people being brought in to keep popular. This site however is a deterent to anyone who could be intrested and the board is isolated enough from the rest of the site that there is virtually no crossover. With the amount of refugees there should be alot of opportunity to intruduce people to the hobby, but we badly positioned to do so, maybe we can promote board specific CYOAs to apeal to them? If such a scheme can become a staple of chan culture maybe it can occupy a roll similar to Wojacks or greentext and end those worries. Threads are legitimized by the presence of discussion, not CYOA. For the potential new general, the thread starter should be something like Order vs Chaos, Spirit Conscript, or Entropist. Something that envokes ire and intrest, hell maybe even Tok, as long as he doesn't start schizoing and posting porn.

The board banners keep piquing my curiosity about what CYOA they're from. Is there a list somewhere?

>>2075 Let me see if I remember. >>407 First is >>303 (12) Second I've honestly forgotten.Third is >>363 Forth is >>247 Fifth is >>880 (8) >>408 First is >>216 (8) Second is >>266 (8) Third I can't find. Forth and Fifth >>1798 (12) >>409 First is >>45 Second is >>393 Third is >>403 (8) Forth is >>362 (12) >>1298 These are from Outer Reincarnation. >>1031 >>1299 1st one is above. Second is >>1088.

Either they're in a general s or I didn't post em and they're in the archive somewhere.

>>2078 Thanks

>>2047 >Anons don't care for CYOA dumping, if they wanted that, they would go to Reddit or, god forbid, browse the Allsync. I have to disagree with that because its WAY easier to read and find Cyoas here than on any other site

Just posting to say 4chan is back. You can find the threads you were posting in just over a week ago at the usual boards.

I wanted to do a banner on Mati but the autoshrink on the banner made the text too small. I think it came out readable by removing some of the text.
