Problem: threads are too long. Solution: impose thread length limit.

>>4639 We have like 3 "too long" active threads at max because we are too lazy to make dedicated threads for specific practices. So far the blog thread and the question thread can be called long or the doge thread but that thread is barely even fringe and serves as a containment place for a specific individual that we interact with when we are too bored and the blog thread reached the bumplimit at a 1000 posts. The question thread is almost dead nowadays. We have almost more new question threads made by retarded OPs who are not even willing to read the board than actual questions in the question thread in the past 2 weeks. I am unsure what the length limit solution will solve. I mean we would just make a new thread if it bumplocked? I think the main problem is that we are too lazy or busy or uncaring to make dedicated practice threads. I am still unsure of my thread maker approach. Who is the "average audience" for those threads? So far we have half baked initiates and absolute retards and some adepts that are too deep within in their enigmatic quests and not even always willing to engage with the board. Obviously the half baked initiates and willing neophytes should be the target for those threads but for them the sticky has thousands of books already. Whatever I will meditate on this question sooner or later. The winter nights are long. I will have some time in the night to waste it typing stuff I hope

What do you think is the ideal bump limit? Anyone can answer

>>4641 ∞

>>4641 10 000 posts bump limit and 70 000 character limit and a requirement to post a pic at least every 3 posts and a song every 10 posts And a ringtone when someone gets dubs or better numerals

>>4641 750 sounds fine to me; don’t need anything fancy to make it work, and it won’t take too long to load on my phone when I’m not at home

>>4640 >bumplimit at a 1000 posts. 8moe has no default bump limit, that's the issue here. Threads are annoyingly long at a 1000 for a slow board like this. It worked on meguca/a/ to have friday joke threads that kept going to 20 000 posts, but that's because it reached there in 2-3 days. Skimming back to follow past discussions and seeing them go months back just makes it incomprehensible imo. >>4641 >What do you think is the ideal bump limit? 300 - 500 depending on board.

Dagoth Ur flag

Bump limit reduced to 500

>>4767 How many flags can be requested? Can I get a Bateman flag? Or maybe that is too large and we have enough pixels only for the hands.

I figure we might get more PPH from new posters if someone made a thread about aliens, considering the UFO hearings in the U.S. lately.

>>4791 Smileberg poster would probably just turn it into Sunflower 2.0 with constant Federation larp.

>>4792 The federation lives rent free in your head.

Since it keeps getting brought up by trouble-makers, just let me make clear to everyone that the Sunflower Project finished years ago. >pic The goal was reached during the active 8kun days in 2021, after which the board was kept up for archival purposes. The endchan board was only used as a blog after that, because 8kun started deleting images. The obsession some outsiders have with this small time limited group project is getting ridiculous.

>>4777 This is b e a u t i f u l Look at them glow! This is like an early fringemass miracle! >>4792 I don't think you should be bothered by it if it stays within a single thread. But I agree on a fact that talking about ayylmaos that deep is only fun if at least 5 people here can talk with them or made pacts and share "Psychic development studies" with aliens where they are helping their growth. If people still don't have ways to deal with aliens then it will appear either incomprehensible to most or paranoid schizos will hallucinate greyptilians and we will just have to deal with their panic attacks constantly. People being too scared of ayylmaos and not being able to deal with them is almost worse than detailed federation politics and other channeled information that can be considered "larp".The shit I am channeling from them some cases is so bad I am not even willing to write them down most of the time. Wish it was on mere larp level like how furries think those space gimps behave. Fringe is not ready for that as long as 90% of the userbase is still scared of glowniggers. Now excuse me am gonna stare at repeating numerals for a while.

>>4728 Would it be possible to remove the 'no flag' option and set the Anonymous flag as default? iirc that was how it worked in old 8ch /fringe/.

>>4777 The site doesn't tell me what the cap is or how close we are to it. When we hit it before, I deleted a few lower quality ones so there's a small but unknown number of open slots. So you can request flags and I'll keep adding them until I inevitably can't. unless they've raised the cap since then >maybe that is too large Technically they can be up to 128 but it should be roughly the size of current flags >>4821 >Would it be possible to remove the 'no flag' option and set the Anonymous flag as default? I wish

>>4826 >The site doesn't tell me what the cap is or how close we are to it heh >Technically they can be up to 128 but it should be roughly the size of current flags Will keep in mind >>4821 In the beginning it bothered me too that there is no default flag like how fringe girl newfig and anonymous were the default flags on previous fringes but then I realized it's better this way. A fringe regular would bother posting with a flag thus signaling that he is either part of the community or at least bothered to lurk for at least 10 minutes. A no effort shitposter or freshboot glowie hire wouldn't do that. Which means whatever they post will be valued on the quality of their post thus signaling to everyone that taking them seriously is a potential mistake. Funny thing many sects in the past had obvious "retard detector" tests like this. It is always good to have some simplistic benchmark for newbs. If anyone considers this "elitist" or "secret club subculture" or I have no idea what trash they will say to prove their contrarianism then they won't do anything productive for this board anyway so it's better if malicious retards don't feel "welcomed" in this place. Heard and read so many old tales about monasteries and even Buddhist temples where the abbot was quite harsh and hostile towards those that didn't have a serious intent to respect their ways but merely wanted to make fun of them or annoy them for no reason. Not to mention I noticed something sad as looking through the archives then recalled by memory too. Many people didn't bother using the flag feature and sat on the default flag for too long. So if someone bothers at least using a flag even if their post is low quality it has 99% chance they are one of the regulars while no flaggers will out themselves by default. Like seriously. All they have to do is make 3 extra clicks before posting. It's a good litmus test. This way we can filter out people that try to pretend to be regulars for the sole reason to stir shit up and employ their typical online community breaker tactics. The reason why I am saying this because a day or 2 ago I noticed that we are gaining a little traction energetically but are facing a "block" now. Was thinking how to shatter it and noticed that if the block is shattered forcefully we will just invite a bunch of retards that will shit up the place fast. After that the "sensational" energies of the board will not last long and cause quite the disappointment for the regulars who have a desire for insightful quality discussions. Then I noticed an another way where the energy block is not forcefully shattered but slowly "worn down" with the organic development of the board which will grant us the possibility that the people who find this place will be those that truly "need fringe" and not those that are here to spew their atheistic nonsense and ridicule schizos because they run out of lolcows in their usual shitpost platform. People think egregores are a thing that mindcontrols the populace for some reason. No it is like how a room "smells" or "vibes" and those energies inspire others when they are within the vibe. "Control" only appears when someone is able to establish and maintain hierarchy then solidifies it via extremely specific laws that many cannot fathom. It's important to always make sure that the egregore is living and organic so we don't end up with exploitative control structures like the shit the illuminaties are trying to do for centuries and always failing long term and always have to stay secretive and invite high value individuals constantly for the sole reason they can maintain quality of their circles because they cannot create quality within their own ranks anymore. I know this sounds offtopic but I had to say it in the topic of egregores to give a better image. I had an idea to make a thread detailing how to interact with or maintain and destroy egregores but then I realized that needs to be at least a 30k character long thread with base instruction starting from visualization then seeing the connection points not to mention noticing how your mind is already filled with egregoric influences via introspection and how you can leverage that part within you to influence the egregore better. Oh and the fact that Akasha poster got overtaken by the Sonic egregore made me aware how some people cannot handle egregoric influences as easily as I can so I will have to write up defensive measures so people don't become Chris-chan tier delusional while interacting with those energies. why... is...talking...about...magic...is...so...hard? Why can't I take the ain'tgonnaexplainshitpill already???

>>4833 What I tried to say with the egregoric energy movement for those that didn't grasp it completely. >>1658 >Some guy mentioned /fringe/ as if it was some sort of mythic shambhala We have the "chance" if fringe can become the "mythic shambhala" via organic development or it will fall into the sad trap where it becomes a sad place where schizos gather because fuckwits come here and shit up the place thus making any meaningful discussion almost impossible because all they do is agitating the posters and bringing out the worst from everyone. Ofc most of us are wizards here and we can leverage those energies if we want this is a reminder for glowniggers that this is NOT the Achilles heel of the board so they better get creative with their tactics if they want to stay around but that doesn't mean I want to become an ordainer of dark loosh wizard. That job is as graceful as collecting dead cats and hobos so you can sell meat to the local restaurant. And the restaurant is already full with frog meat since Halloween

>>4826 >>4833 Correction: They must've changed it because now the site automatically resizes the flag no matter its resolution. So don't worry about resizing it yourself.

>>4888 It needs to be below 32KB though.

We even have feels now huh

>>5205 >>5205 >>5205 >magic blog thread completely derailed by this one polititard This is just silly. I guess Help & Guidance is the new magic blog now.

>>5232 I think the allies of WW2 changing the timeline with occult means is pretty /fringe/ but yeah it's not blogging. I'll stop posting about it.

>>5234 I've been thinking of doing an occult politics containment thread but it might attract more of that guy, plus Intrusive Thoughts already exists.

>>5236 Make an esoteric hitlerism thread and it will turn political on its own.

Black sun and stuff, and why Order of Nine Angles isn't satanism.

>>5236 It is inevitable. I too wanted to make it already. Once Trump is in office the narratives will leak from every media faucet and we cannot avoid it.

So wait, they used an orange candle, a photo of Trump, and a well known quote from him? And they think this is a hex? >>5240 Make the thread, we have material already. Why not make it into a political support magic thread? Obviously the "witches" do it already.

>>5245 >>5244 >>5242 Made it already

>>5244 >Why not make it into a political support magic thread? We should bring back the original brownpill mentality instead wasting energies on the outrage media constantly. Journalists and politics should learn to stop being insanely retarded all the time. It just creates bipolar people. People will need to learn to meditate and try to overcome the constant need to meddle with politics no matter which side they are on. They just create pointless chatter instead of actual solutions. The shitpost mememagic culminated in the skibidi brainrot mentality. It cannot devolve further. We need a new way ahead.

I think the admin just needs to become more willing to just delete off-topic posts.

>>5260 You can moderate your own thread on 8moe if you want it. I think this hands off approach is the best for the board especially for now. We still require activity on this board and we are still in the >I miss fringe stage and not in the /FRINGE/ IS BACK stage. Just because we are on the top board list that doesn't mean the discussions are properly focused and worthwhile. We will need to fix that sooner or later We will have to figure out ways how we can explain to the brainrotted zoomer neophytes how to focus on meditation practices and learn to detach from mundane matters. The way I see it ever since "doomscrolling" became a thing people don't know how to focus. And we will need to figure out ways how to handle them and how to point them into the direction of basic instructions they can follow instead requiring constant inputs from others all the time. I am really bad at babysitting and nannying neophytes and it seems others are in the same boat too so far.

>>5271 Normally before scrolling became a thing, you'd learn the basics by personally attending meetings or taking courses. Is there a way around that? I really don't know how to handle that aside from having personal tutoring in private chat services, I don't think that works on an imageboard. There is a reason why there was an attitude to tell newfags to fuck off. On /a/ back in the earlier days, you wanted to discuss anime, not answer for the 1000s time >where do I download this anime? >how to I use the subs >my files don't work, help me so it was made this way to keep those away who didn't have this down already. Can /fringe/ teach new people from scratch? Is it even possible, or should we first ask them >which basic course did you attend before coming here?
