>>4 First

>>5 Lol dis nigga named scrub

Goddamnit people. Anything on topic?

>>7 >>4 Why is pynchon so fucking terrible, and follow up why do people keep saying it isn't?

>>8 (((People)))

>>8 I-I liked it...

>>10 Yeah of course a horse fucker such as you enjoyed it.

>>10 >>11 Wait does it really have HORSEDICKDOTMPEG

>>11 >>12 NO!

>>2 >>14 Uh where did these posts go? And what happened to the Xmen thread?

So we need banners. No banners is extremely low effort and will probably result in board deletion.

>>19 Isnt this a new board? >No banners is extremely low effort and will probably result in board deletion. T-that can happen??? .t low effort BO from another board

>We have a /lit/ board Nice. >>20 >T-that can happen??? No.

Low effort banner making. now make me a vol, I need a second teahouse

>>23 fuck off chai no one wants you here

Also could use this as a spoiler >>24 im not leaving, it's /lit/ here

>>26 well it seems that we're the only ones here so have at it. cheers to /it/. i hope to see it better than old /lit/

>>23 >>26 AWESOME! Okay now we have a vol. Chai. Unless that isn't your username in which case I don't know who I just made a vol.

>>21 Lol Nice.

Here, have another

>>33 Fucking Yes! Now that is kino.

>>34 It's not kino, it's /lit/, vamp the most lit board around

>>35 Shit is so /lit/ It may explode.

I think this board should be "Reading and Writing" Inviting a wider but still very relevant audience would be mildly helpful in the long run.

>>43 This is a good point. Alright fixing it.

Obviously erotic books would be permissible to discuss, but should NSFW images be spoilered on this board? If so, given that it's primarily about and going to attract SFW content, this could requests as a SFW board on >>>/site/ Doing so will mean images posted appear on the main page as recent images. It's one of the passive vectors of attracting people into the board to see the image and the context of it. Plenty of book covers have the potential to accomplish that. Also here's a writer related banner, if it tickles your fancy.

Also I just noticed you haven't put anything in the board rules.

>>47 It does tickle my fancy Nice! I will ask about being marked sfw >>48 So far only global rules are being enforced. Not sure what other ones we need. Open to suggestions though.

>>49 Well if NSFW images are to be spoilered, as is required of SFW boards, then that's a rule. You seem opposed to comics and manga. That'd be one. "This board is for primarily text-based media, not /co/mics." I guess only you know what else would be listed. Stance on text-based media besides stories? Such as text games and poetry? I assume they're fine. Glad you like the banner, I stole it. I'm a thief. I steal things. It used to be on 8chan.co's /writ/ board. Don't know why I have it.

>>51 I actually like comics lol. Uh that guy wasn't banned. That guy was me. I made that whole thing up. I needed enough posts to get on the front page you see.

>>51 Also stealing is cool. You are cool anon.

>>52 I'm surprised your attention seeking was via bad optics. Any publicity is good publicity, some say. Sure, I knew it wasn't a real ban, that'd be dumb, I figured it was a 0m "ha ha" ban to be funny, but I wouldnt' guess it was all contrived. Well, anyway. >>53 A vol's gotta do what a vol's gotta do. If we want to make something of this board, we gotta work for it. Try making some banners yourself. It feels weird to be the only one doing that Here I made another for you

>>51 To be clear we have a >>>/co/ board and I would prefer all comic threads stay there. But if someone wants to talk about an X-men YA book then yeah whatever that belongs here. As far as I am concerned any written media not explicitly covered by another board belongs here. Someone wants to make a thread about 1970 Jack Chick tracts? Fucking go for it. Hell I will bump it no matter what. Wanna talk about the short stories included in old PC games? Yeah we do that here. The broadest possible interpretation of written media is what I want. Some asshole can have a thread comparing the back of cereal boxes. Still gonna try to make it a good thread. As Chai taught me you don't as a BO flash your #rs every five seconds. In terms of moderation less is more. You contribute by being a good user of the board in the first place. So anyway there's my mission statement, as gay as it sounds. Thanks for reading my gay ass blog.

>>54 Absolutely. Love to. How. What is the format? ??x?? Content wise I can handle that.

>>54 I fucked up grammar making two threads so I deleted them. Later to cover it up I made that story. I once worked as a conman for a living. For five years. Anyway making up stories is second nature. My views on publicity are heavily influenced by Eric Bischoff, old episodes of Monday night Nitro, and his book Controversy Creates Cash Which bearing in mind his company went under isn't maybe the best example.

>>56 Roughly 3:1 ideal, longer is fine, 5:1 is probably as long as it should go before it gets messy 300x100 minimum. 150 is about the tallest I personally think looks good. I did a bunch of 450x150 on a few boards. Don't worry about being precise. If it looks "bannerish" then it should be good enough. Vampyr, do you want to weigh in or does this sound agreeable to you? >>55 Anything primarily text-based! Probably make that the #1 rule? >As Chai taught me I'm touched.

The real reason for the angle of the story. Well I guess it's a subconscious reflection of expectations. My experience on the board so far is watching you and Mark. And well. I mean I see the angle of >user angry for silly reason >bo playfully fucks with them So when I needed a reason. Why? Why would a BO delete two innocent posts? Well maybe they werent innocent. Maybe they were off topic or an honest misunderstanding between user, and moderation. Yes this is the most probable reason. I try to be introspective.

>>58 I never bothered learning how to check bypass IDs, or logs. Or just haven't yet. But I am fairly certain it is just us in here currently.

>>60 We're both at least 5 people, Vamp

>>60 I'm here

>>61 Lol you mean we post enough for five people anyway.

>>62 Hey fren! How you been?

>>63 Y-yeah that's what I mean. Of course.

>>64 A little ill, but life is good. Have to plan some travel but finances are a pain to square away. Dropped in from the overboard. Now vol me fag

>>66 I don't even know your name. But yeah scribe is now a vol. Everyone be nice to him.

>>65 W-wait...

>>67 I'm Natasoc and I'm a terrible choice for a vol, now vol me.

>>69 One second. Hmm this doesn't usually happen but theres a flag on your account. Uh it says here you have been banned 300 times? And someone named goldenrod called you a niggerpill? And that is a lot of bans for cp. And bans for global rules 1, 6, 7, 8. Huh didn't know they went that high. 2-5 must be pretty boring rules. Cause otherwise apparently you've pissed off every mod on the site. I can't be reading this right. Chai its offense history then copy paste the IP right? You should look at this. It's actually kinda impressive. I don't even know who half these mods are. But theyve banned you. Anon if you'd just been kicked out of one bar. Okay bartender was on asshole I believe you. But 109? Idk this must be some tor site fuckery. Noway. Impossible you've been that naughty anon.

>>69 This isn't a no, by the way. I mean no reason that should disqualify you even if it is you. And probably isn't. Right?

>>70 ha ha

>>70 >Impossible you've been that naughty anon. They've called me some evil things for my shitposts, but never niggerpill

>>73 Are you coming from a tor node maybe? A lotta bans for bot behavior. Which you most certainly do not exhibit. Well anyway yeah you're a vol. Don't be a bad one. Ask Chai for how to do your job. Basically be invisible and post.

>>74 Looks like a proxy >Ask Chai You own two boards and vol on another, why do I gotta instruct people on how your board is run =з=

>>74 I always post from proxies where possible. Recommendable behavior.

>>75 Because I was making a banner. It sucks lemme upload it.

>>77 i agree, it sucks

>>76 Absolutely. Smart. Anyway yeah delete spam, ip phishing spam, cp spam, pretty much just spam. Other than that let anons run loose. It's an easy job. If you need anything ask.

>>79 I could use artillery and a mob

>>80 Yeah that would be more practical, but our current sponsor is /k/ and they gave us three hundred of these for and I quote <Daily carry, suitable for small threats, if you see any skinwalker though call So you get one of these and as many shells as you can fit in your pockets.

>>81 Should vol me on /k/ while we're at it Need the munitions to shoot up book burnings and censorship committees

>>82 mildly surprised vamp owns both boards but calls /b/ something different on each Why is it Chai's Teahouse here? Also just realized /k/ could have called /zoo/ "Hunter's Lounge" for something slightly more /k/-themed while still being a sensible joke

>>89 I made the boards a month apart. Didn't know who Chai was when I was setting up /k/. Now it's starting to get users though I do need to spruce it up a bit more. Shit Hunter's lounge is better.

>>93 no!

Here's this

>>125 I like it!

>>126 I like you

>>127 Aww thanks anon! I think you are cool too.

I can post epubs here right? Or will I be ostracized if I'm low in physical media because of being an apartment fag?

>>232 Electronically published? I see no reason to bully you for that. I don't even have a place to live some of the time, I'd NEVER read books if it wasn't digital.

>>233 I have over 20,000 titles in epub alone. Don't get me started on mobi or old school pdfs. I move around so often it is a necessity. Yeah you are fine.

How's this for a banner? Did I get the size right?

>>236 No idea. Chai explained it to me once. He said just make it vaguely banner shaped and it's fine. Anyway fuck yeah nice banner. Adding this.

>>237 Cool. Should I make some more banners or do you reckon we have enough already?

>>236 By default, the size is 300 wide x 100 tall. The BO can alter the default size or remove any scaling with CSS, however. >>238 No such thing as too many banners.

>>238 Never too many. Plus I really like this last one. >>239 >CSS Oh. I don't know how that works. That means I'm being bad at my job. Well shit. I'm gonna see if I can figure out this css stuff.

>>240 >>>/site/1950 has a line you can copypaste to unset the default height.

Okay I've made a bunch. Let me know what you think.

>>242 lit af

>>242 These are fantastic! Really good stuff man. Love that medieval one. All so good.

Don't know if I should ask /lang/ or here but I want to read something in a foreign language but I don't understand what I am reading. How to find an easy book? Why is it easier to understand spanish movie dubs? I feel like I know the vocab but stuff goes over my head

>>301 I studied In Spain for a year once. And I read a Zorro book. Having a dictionary of Spanish to English helps.

>>301 Try starting with short stories. If you know the vocab but aren't grasping the plot, it's probably because you're not used to reading in Spanish. The only remedy for that is just practice.

hey Vamp I made you and Natasoc vols on /b/ so, like, feel free to clean things up from time to time

>>321 Remember when you had a thread asking for volunteers and I said no thanks and gave you the exact reasons why I had no desire whatsoever to do that?

Making a book club thread YOU WILL READ THESE BOOKS AND THEN TALK ABOUT THEM.

books sounds like boobs

>>346 Yes they do. And damn I love boobs.

does anyone here know where i could find the book mentioned in his citation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_ternary#cite_note-setun-1

>>350 I can't find anything in English, but a search for Frolov GD Does turn up some hits. Unfortunately, these being in Russian I have no idea if it's what you want or not. 1963 being mid cold war it is hard to find books from the former Soviet Union. Most especially of a technical nature.

Reading is for nerds and gay people.

>>526 no u

>>4 Some banners from 8chan Prime /lit/

>>613 2

>>614 3

>>613 >>614 >>615 Nice anon thanks!

>>617 What's with the sudden spike in posts? Are you copying 8kun/4chan threads, anon?

>>4 also, could you link from >>>/pdfs/ and >>>/library/ or better yet just drop their useful links here?

>>619 No, anons just be posting yo. Get in on it.

>>621 Yeah I can link them in the top bar for now, and later go digging through for content.

Hey I quit. And no one but me ever used this board anyway. So. Idk. I guess goodbye everything I ever worked for lol. Fucking kms
