Meta + Cyoa creation help Adventurer Board owner 12/05/2020 (Sat) 02:24:48 No. 3
Accepting Banners 4chan's /cyoag/ links: https://rentry.org/cyoag Interactive list: https://infaera.neocities.org/ Allsync archive: https://cyoa.allsync.com/s/owWor64yLTngDk3 Rules 1. Multiple page CYOAs can have their own thread or be posted into a themed thread, Single CYOAs are likewise the same but if they don't have much content they can go in a general. 2. NSFW should be noted in the thread title but it's not going to be majorly enforced. You can tell from the first page or the description. 3. NSFW content can be unspoiled. We're all adults here, or at least pretending to be adults. 4. No spamming, flamming or other distractions from CYOAs in general. You're here to escape the real world, not drag politics into it. 5. Shitposting is fine within reason. Alternatively, use an RNG such as https://random.org/ for RYOAs. Board Friends >>>/rwby/ So BO hasn't logged in on 8kun for awhile but people want a community for CYOA that's not 4chan, reddit or discord. So here I am, I'll step up for the mean time and see if this community can grow or at least get comfy again.

>>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?

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.
>>2153 Agreed. It's cozy, here. Why can't we have both a place to "dump" CYOA *and* General Threads? Refugees come here and immediately demand changes. Should have sunk the boats before they got here.
>>2178 BO, I have a question, how the fuck did you make the Banner's variably sized? Isn't there a specific limit set?

>>2221 It's an auto scale thing the site does with banners. It seems the site autosizes banners to being exactly 100 pixels in height regardless of length. Take these two for example, 1 is the original banner, 2 is it scaled up by the site. Since 1 is only 490x38 pixels in height, it auto scales the image to 1286x96 pixels Rectangle banners like that tend to get scaled pretty well and depending on how long it is it can take up the entire page. Using square banners like >>410 don't really work because site auto sizes it to be 100 x 100
>>2224 Huh. That's weird. It doesn't seem to do that for other boards. Thanks for lettin' me know!
>>2224 Heyo, it's me again. ( >>2221 ) I'm the Board Owner of >>>/rwby/ and I was wondering if you would be interested in /cyoa/ being Board Friends? RWBY pics and characters get used in a lot of CYOAs and there's like a dozen RWBY CYOAs (>>>/rwby/1827 ). I enjoyed using this board for a while and now that I got my own board, I thought I'd reach out. We're a top board too, so more people would know this one exists by proxy and you might get a little more activity here through cross-sharing.
>>2278 Sure that sounds great. I made a banner to celebrate.
>>2279 Awesome! I'll post the banner to my board, and I linked yours in the Board Message.
>>2279 Just wanna ask; is there are reason there's no Board Header for /cyoa/ ? Like something simple even e.g. Picking Out Your Own Fun! or something like that. Also you should add board tags, make it easier to find the board; cyoa, choice, As an addendum the 4chan pastebin has a lot of dead links, it's been replaced with https://unknown.spam/cyoag Also the Interactive CYOA List: https://infaera.neocities.org/
>>2282 I just never thought to add tags. I don't think the board needs a header as "minmax wish fulfillment" is already in the description at the top. Two descriptions for the board would be kind of redundant. I've updated the meta post with the new links, thanks for reminding.
>>2284 I see, fair enough, and no problem. Cheers!
>>2284 Sorry to bother again lol but you might wanna reach out to >>>/jumpchain/ since they're also CYOA related and a top board like /rwby/
>>2286 I'm aware of them. I have cross linked the board a few times in their threads so they are also aware of us.
