Why did you delete the previous meta thread?

>>1077 Nevermind it wasn't deleted.

>>1078 I just unpinned it.

What are your qualifications?

>>1101 Existant, and many.

Create a anchor thread for people looking for other online players, one where old posts drop off after a while. Yeah there's reddit and whatnot, but those are a different kind of crowd you know?

>>1123 An "anchor" symbol on a thread means the thread is automatically saging every post. So the thread will fall off the catalog faster and be seen by no one. I think what you actually want is a pinned thread set to cyclical. which is where only 500 posts are visible and any excess older posts are automatically deleted. Pinning a thread keeps it at the top of the front page. Also welcome newfag.

>>1125 Yes that's what I meant

>>1127 Make the thread and I will pin it and set it to cyclical.

>>1128 Sorry for the late reply, made it. Hopefully it helps people, but even if not it was worth a try

/tg/ We're compiling a reference sheet of tans, characters, and symbols. Does /tg/ have any to share? There is /tg/ Pimp Lich. Here is /v/, for instance.

>>1142 8/tg/ doesn't have any mascot. Not yet anyway. I didn't browse /tg/ back on halfchan so I do not know if they had any mascot.

>>1143 Would commissar Fuklaw count as a board-tan?

>>1144 this is referenced as a /tg/ tan. (I'll be adding this at the very least)

>>1142 I'll post what I have that features /tg/ tans

>>1147 Not sure if the tank one counts, maybe that's him?

>>1148 I have a version o the 1st image from >>1148 without the labels if you want it.

>>1149 Finished Hopefully these will be of use to you :D

>>1142 Oh also please link wherever you're putting the finished compilations. I'm really eager to see the finished sets.

>>1076 (OP) Where da big tiddie spess mahreens at?

>>1162 They don't exist.

>>1163 God I want to fuck female Konrad.

>>1164 That's a bad idea.

>>1165 It is an awful idea. I cannot fix her but that doesn't stop my dick from liking pale, long black haired women.

>>1166 Well. Shit bro.

>>1164 >>1166 Most of the female primarchs are on a scale of "you can't fix her" to "you could fix her quite easily, but that's easier said than done" (Lorgar-chan is cute, cute!)

But is the board alive? I want to talk about meta gaming cyberpunk red to make my own version of Punished Snake/Solidus Snake and make my own PMC.

>>1259 Sadly no, Board is like 3 people who occasionally post.

>>1261 Now that 4chan is kill, maybe it will get more activity?

>>1306 One can only hope.

Remove the retarded identifiers as well as the meaningless latino links up top, or abandon the board so I can claim it so we can make something out of this joint.

>>1314 >retarded identifiers Lmfao, so you wont be able to bump your own threads by talking to yourself?

/m/ refugee here. I want to ask something, in /m/, the /mecha/ board there use to be a dedicated plamo (for gundams, planes and big plastic models) thread, and it was by far the most activity on the board (alongside the srw thread). Is it possible to move that thread here, there is no /m/ board and plamo fits with /tg/ a lot.

>>1314 No I like the IDs. They are good. >>1317 I do not se why not. Building models is absolutely part of /tg/. I mean who is going to stop you from using them as proxies anyway?

There's a mark/tg/? Did you guys hate Chrow and refuse to go to his /tg/ bunker?

>>1306 I admit that I am a normalfag who just likes 40k, but I will try to post here.

>>1314 Please explain why you want IDs to be removed

Haven't been here in years, showing up again because 4/tg/ is down. Is Crow still in charge?

>>1395 Chrow runs /tg/ on the webring, which has more activity than here.

/tg/ is cordially invited to join us at the 4th Soulcalibur 6 tournament. You may choose 1 or 2 characters to fight (preferably a b-tan or character relevant for your board). The 4th tournament is being hosted here: >>>/icup/6376 It is an interboard game with CPUs fighting each other.

>>1346 Because this post should be judged on its own merit, not based on who made it.

>>1470 The upsides always outweigh the downsides when it comes to ids. And when it comes to /tg/ its good to be able to keep a discussion going without having to namefag.

>>1470 And I say no because it'll just give disruptive little shits plausible deniability.

>>1339 Mark isnt allowed anywhere near this board, cuz hes a spastic retarded kike. >Why make it then Because my rpg group wanted a place to post shit, and it was convenient.

So yeah been busy with /b/ and /k/ the past two days but finally checked in and yeah this boards active now too. So obviously I cant run these all by myself, someone needs to be the new BO, but I am willing to hang around and janny when I can. All that being said, is there any issues you guys need addressed while my attention is focused here?

>>1573 There is a very important thing to address. Don't know if you browsed 4/tg/, but >>423 is the notorious faggot called Bumpfag. He will shit up this place with vague worldbuilding threads, AI slop and necrobumps if you don't get rid of him. He knows how to ban evade and probably has multiple devices, so nothing less than an IP range ban would work.

>>1585 Gotchu, no I never did, but I do know how to ban a nigger. Identifying him? Less so. So please report him and I'll knock him down, or make an account, I'll vol you, and you can keep him out also.

>>1600 Just made an account, notorioustg. Send me vol when you can.

>>1603 Done, and thank you notorious.

>>1605 Thanks a bunch. Now it's time to show bumpfag the door.

>>1607 Good hunting

Is there an altchan for 4/qst/ that I can look into or would it have to be remade?

>>1613 extant, but currently kinda dead https://8chan.moe/quests/ so, depends what you mean by remade. The board exists, but the community will have to be remade from scratch up to and including acquiring a new admin. And since I don't see anything about boards becoming claimable after prolonged admin inactivity on 8chan like I do on 8kun, I think you'd probably have to either successfully contact the original admin who was wanting to pass off 5 entire years ago, or contact 8chan staff to get them to pass it to you.

>>1618 Is there any reason why we couldn't host quests here? If we get enough /qst/ activity to justify a new board, they can split off.

>>1613 >>>/nutg/

>>1618 Yeah anyone can claim an abandoned board, just ask Codexx on >>>/site/ or send an email, and its called BO or Board Owner, the admin rank is for the head of the global moderation team, or king janny. You can also email the site yeah. >>1620 No reason at all, go for it!

>>1546 >The upsides always outweigh the downsides when it comes to ids. Wrong. Anonymity is central to the shedding of ego. >>1567 >I say no because muh boogiemen hurt mah feefees and I should hold them accountable forever waah waah Retard.

>>1623 >>I say no because muh boogiemen hurt mah feefees and I should hold them accountable forever waah waah >Retard. Lol okay faggot, enjoy your empty board.

>>1306 I'm currently deciding between chans to move to, and chan.moe's /tg/ and Ourchan's /x/ seems the most inviting so far.

>>1573 >>1585 Like anon here said, there was an anon (or a couple of them) who spammed the board with retarded garbage threads and/or concent farms accompanied by even trashier aislop examples: >Would an elf with a ribbon on her head be slower in combat? >Do mages in your setting wear a cape? I don't know if it's him too, but I would also see threads pop up like >What color of socks do gnomes wear in your settings? >Do orcs have pimples Other times, he would team up with a janny and they would make bait threads that go like >Hello, I am a transgender person with a lot of melanin and it feels wrong to play an orc. How should I do this? and then the janny would come and ban every rational reply to such questions. This anon (or anons) is very easy to spot because all of his threads share the same charateristics >open questions that never mention specific systems or worldbuilding that would justify a mechanic >D&D 5e is implied (but also never mentioned) >never replies to anons engaging in conversation >never gives his own example/setting where the concern question originated from >>1623 <now here is where IDs are important >would talk to himself with equally retarded answers that don't really give an answer to the question to bump the threads

>>1628 So many fucking years of asinine threads like this that never died because he would bump them to bump limit. But yeah, we can finally do something about it. No more of this fucking shit.

>>1629 Jesus...that shit lasted for YEARS?! No wonder 4/tg/ was dead then I returned. I actually spent more time here back in 2015-2016 and had only recently (for the past 6-7 months) started visiting 4/tg/ to get some interesting ideas to run my campaign and was shocked to see the board shat up to uselessness. Jannies didn't help either. I would get banned for even the most milktoast shitpost and would delete the posts so you can't even tell what other anons who also got bannned did wrong. I genuinely had more productive /tg/ related stuff on /pol/ (I'm the elf drawfag) which told of the state of 4/tg/. Anyhow I hope 4cuck stays dead so we can be proper fa/tg/uys

>>1630 >Anyhow I hope 4cuck stays dead so we can be proper fa/tg/uys Same. Even if there are only a dozen people here, I'd rather talk to them than the hordes who overran /tg/ years ago. Anyway, do we have a board mascot or anything?

>>1631 I remember pimp lich >>1145 being the dude most representing the board but I haven't been here in years so I don't know if anything changed

>>1632 I like Pimp Lich. We should re-elect him.

>>1633 I think I'll sit down and draw Pimp Lich today or tomorrow. Some art I see here is more than 10 years old.. Should I post the Pimp Lich here or in drawthread to revive it a bit?

>>1634 Draw thread imo. Cool to have a resident drawfag around.

>>1628 IDs doesn't help with that, because 1) It was fedposting. 2) They constantly changed IP. It was a moderation issue, not an ID issue, and Jewmod was in on it.

>>1641 >They constantly changed IP Irrelevant since the ip counter was removed >It was a moderation issue, not an ID issue, and Jewmod was in on it. Fair, still i think that for the transition the IDs are useful, the BO can still experiment as we go.

>>1630 I haven't really checked into /tg/ in ages. Board felt utterly dead, over moderated, like there were both users reporting everything they just didn't like seeing and a mod actually banning and deleting everything that got reported, and then 9/10ths of the threads have just been advertising instead of actual discussion, all general this and general that, no more seat of the pants posting about something because you feel like it. Generals really do bring out the worst

>>1644 >Irrelevant since the ip counter was removed That was on deadchan, not here, so yeah, exceptionally relevant. There's nothing wrong with counters.

>>1646 I still have the old mentality of generals being a way to contain discussion on a topic from disrupting the rest of the board. Should that way of thinking be left behind? Would it be acceptable to just make a thread about Warhammer Fantasy if that's what I want to talk about?

>>1673 Personally i think generals are fine for niche/old stuff, they focus the attention in one specific place when otherwise, as separate threads, they would wither shortly (or became de facto generals, by thread derails, for that specific subject).

>>1673 imo both approaches are fine. Generals for very specific autism and open threads for lighter topics/shooting the shit.

Hey notorious you accidentally banned the original BO of /tg/. I lifted it but please try and be more careful buddy, anyways hope everyone is having a good day.

>>1693 >you accidentally banned the original BO of /tg/ >accidentally banned >accidentally Bros... I have bad feeling

>>1696 >>1693 >accidentally

>>1696 >>1706 You're telling me the original BO is the one bumping a dead elf thread with AI slop? This is the other post I issued a range ban for.

>>1758 that would be so fucking funny and explain so goddamn much

>>1758 I mean I guess apparently idk, hes an old friend and a founding member of the 8moe /tg/ rpg group, which he may or may not still run, idk I didn't ask. Busy sadly. Anyways he's still a volunteer here as well, hes named Mortarion.

>>1758 No that wasn't me. I would never in my life post AI slop. That being said I think you went too far banning the guy. I have no idea which post it was that got me banned, The only reason I was given was "bumpfagging". Whatever the hell that means.

>>1809 >bumpfagging nta, but see >>1628 for more details. While I hate power-tripping mods that ban left and right, bumpfag also appeared in wh40k thread and once ban was announced, the retard question subsided, so I think it was good call.

>>1809 I found the post that got me banned.

>>1824 For the record I haven't been on 4/tg/ for a decade so this six year long grudge you have with this guy has nothing to do with me.

>>1824 Ok, i don't intend to start an argument here but, jhc, that's a glaring red flag there. I'm a 4/tg/ anon myself and i can perfectly understand the feeling behind the action of the other anon (4/tg/ was an absolute shitshow in this regard) but that's not the right mentality to have as a BV, i hope he came back to his senses at least.

>>1827 You gotta understand man, all of us 4/tg/ refugees are traumatized

I just miss the slogan, "You don't even need the other boards anymore" from over 15 years ago.

I found myself smuglo.li/tg/ which seems to be a solid alternative.

Hey is this the board for /qst/ or is there even a place for that right now?

>>1951 Some fa/tg/uys split to >>>/nutg/ in which, i read in a post there, their BO intend it to be the place for quests as well. For what concerns me this board is already anemic enough that adding /qst/ to bunch would only help in revitalizing it.

>>1951 Yeah you can do quests here. >>1989 They are making a second /tg/? why?

>>1994 >They are making a second /tg/? why? Quoting directly from one of the replies when asked apparently is for "anonymous participation and doesn't push the owner's pet boards. Also, this services /qst/ since the /quest/ board is dead" and then another anon there proposed to make it the SFW 8chan/tg/ equivalent to avoid redundancy, as far as things currently are i don't think there's anything set in stone.

>>1997 So that one guy angry about IDs created their own board, that is basically dead, filled it with generals, which are mostly poison for any discussion (and also dead as far as I am aware). That sounds like really great idea, that will not backfire with samefagging and bumpfaggotry. >lol, lmao even

Holy fuckles we are in the top boards list.

>There are 3 different horus heresy generals I am thinking about merging them but I have no idea who goes into what. Any thoughts?

>>2051 >Any thoughts? Delete those threads and ban everyone who posted there. Yes, I am moderate. But seriously I would simply merge them and add all tags from OP titles to the original, long standing thread. We already have refugees screeching in threads made in 2023 to use proper thread and it gets tiresome. On other hand I understand, that using proper formats acts as signal light for transients jumping from one image board to another, trying to find their compatriots.

>>2051 It may be a good idea to continhr discussing whether or not generals should be allowed at all. There are good arguments for both their inclusion and exclusion.

>>2138 As far as I can tell, you guys make generals because the lazy trannies who jannied you insisted you did for like a decade. And now its just habit. I think generals are gay, and discourage people from just making threads about the subject they wanna talk about. Now sometimes that can result in a catalog of shitty threads like "theres some slave girl, what do?", and the fix for that is making a QTDDTOT, thread.

Not sure if this is a good place to ask but does anyone know what happen to 4chan qst I don’t see any or the quest makers here did they go to another site or did they just decide to wait for a potential return of 4chan?

>>2183 Yes, that is why the majority of people make generals now. It's been trained into people, and most users are newfags who never posted on any board pre-2012, a lot of them simply don't know what it's like when generals don't exist AT ALL. Not one, not a single general thread on any board anywhere happened before ~2008-2012 or so. Generals were NOT a thing when 4chan started and for probably 1/3rd of its current lifepsan, maybe even half. The more I look at what generals actually do, the more thoroughly I am convinced they are bad for imageboards. On the systemic level they circumvent the entire purpose of the bump/sage mechanic - which is designed to promote interesting discussion and help kill what's boring or bad. Instead you get these generals threads that are just spammed in perpetuity, never ever dying, always being bumped to the front page and yet there's nothing interesting for someone browsing to read. It's just "general for x", there's no mixing of interests or users, people isolate themselves into these generals cliques and practically treat them as sub-boards on the main board. Questions, ideas, topics, comments, etc. that are uniquely insightful or interesting will never be seen by 99% of the users on the board because they are buried in a general and got 2 replies vs what it'd be like had they been their own thread because the general never existed. Generals threads also look no different from what you'd expect to see from malicious advertisers abusing the mechanics of imageboards to keep their products perpetually front paged on the website. All the better if you don't even have to pay anyone and users just do it for free. If I were going to make an imageboard from scratch, generals are #1 top of my list to eliminate from board culture and system mechanics. I think they genuinely killed 4chan's creativity and spontaneity.

>>2232 Generals are people replacement of forums in imageboards

>>2232 As someone who was very active in a general (/wfg/) before coming here, I have a couple things I'd like to say. I completely agree with what you're saying about generals not being interesting or appealing for people who aren't already interested in what the general thread is about. Having an entire block of text with links and pictures and whatever doesn't exactly attract new users, does it? I would argue that that is an intended feature and that the general OPs are more about providing infrastructure for already existing users, such as links to PDFs for rulebooks or information about whatever the general is about. An anon on halfchan's /tg/ made a post that was eerily similar to yours about how those links and information would just be passed on without relying on an OP, by posters just posting it whenever someone asks and I also concede that that would probably be a better way to go about it - provided anons maintained the security systems that were put in place (basic encryption, for example) so that said links/PDFs wouldn't get nuked all the time. With regards to the rest of the board not seeing what goes on in generals, I acknowledge that that is true, but I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Generals concentrate users and elevate the level of discussion that can be had. That's a bit of an elitist way to look at it, but outside of the generals, the level of discussion for specific topics, and even general ones, was really low before this all happened. Generals had their shitposters and their problems, but when the threads were fully on-topic, they were great, man. I can't speak about the other generals, but when /wfg/ was good, it was really good. There was incredibly high-level discussion about rules, models, the history of the game, even the setting sometimes, to the point that I don't think those discussions could have happened if there wasn't a general to bring in posters who actually knew what they were talking about. But at the same time... those high-level discussions wouldn't be interesting to people who weren't already interested in Warhammer Fantasy, would they? I would like to see an experiment, a test run, if you will, of a generalless /tg/. I want to see what it'd be like. I don't want /wfg/ to go away forever unless I can be sure I'll still get to talk about it with anons who know what's up. Also, only somewhat related, I posted battle reports on /wfg/ relatively frequently. It'd be a bit embarassing to post that kind of thing out in the wild, especially as its own thread. Maybe that's just the old mentality, but that's how I see it. I don't think people would post battle reports anywhere near as much (and it was already pretty rare even in /wfg/) if there wasn't a general (or atleast a thread already made) for the game those battle reports would be about. Honestly, I don't think random anons would even be interested in such a thing - and I'd feel especially bad about wasting a spot on the catalogue on a battle report. Anyway, I agree with you that generals aren't good for the health of a board, but I also don't think they're without merit. There should be more discussion about this before any decisions get made.

>>2245 >Honestly, I don't think random anons would even be interested in such a thing - and I'd feel especially bad about wasting a spot on the catalogue on a battle report. Idk anon, I think that someone posting a battle report thread every one in awhile would pull a bunch of anons playing different games into it. Could be good.

I think that generals are good for this specific moment to signal the 4/tg/ refugees that the board is active and in continuity from the halfchan one. I personally was lurking here and on smuglo.li/tg/ to catch a glimpse of 4/tg/ activity and the moment an anon started here the /gurpsgen/ i jumped in. It may be expedient to have them reach bump limit and/or die out naturally and then transition to normal posting.

Please don't let the board be taken up by d&d and warhammer spam it's fine to talk about Warhammer but when there are five threads on the latest gw drama it gets kinda annoying.

>>2308 I think it may be fine here, back at 4/tg/ the issue was bumpfagging and xitter screencap drama shit flooding the board, here the staff seems to give a fuck plus there are IDs in place (so the laziest samefags get filtered singling out the actual deranged schizoids), if the traffic spike up it may useful to have some very focused generals (eg: 5e mechanics general) to avoid theads with very specific questions and univocal answers, but as thing fare currently the place is anemic enough that some redundancy will not harm.

>>2029 >soyraun destroys our home with a corrupted pdf >fa/tg/uys in exile slowly land in middle 8chan it's like pottery

>>2313 This pic is the only worthwhile response to a random's social media screencap of any flavor.

>>1076 (OP) Am I still banned as a “spammer”. This place is off to a great start…

>>2266 You make a very good point. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Well, if I get to play another game of warhammer fantasy any time soon, I'll write up the battle report and make a thread about it. Hopefully you're right and other anons will start posting their own battle reports as well.

>>1470 The April fools event and the collapse of 4chan right after have made it extremely clear that non-ID boards were being shat up 24/7 by samefagging schizophrenics. IDs are a necessary evil to keep boards from turning into New Delhi.

>>2555 Agreed. We don't need flag shitflinging but ID's are important imo. They make it easy to ignore samefags and chronic shitposters.

While I'm in favor of IDs as a "You brought this on yourself" thing, I would also be in favor of a board option that would append (Self) if you link to your own posts.

>>2612 (Self) It would look like this for example. Ideally it would also be able to track posts across IPs and similar, like >>2404 (Self) which is also one of my posts.

>>1613 I'll note that there is questden.org, which is the former tgchan. It, uh, exists, that's all I can really say.

Anybody know how many posts it will take before a thread reaches bump limit? Also after bump limit can mods actually enforce page posting times for when a new thread can be made? Just so we don't get too many /40kg/ threads clogging the board.

>>2820 I forget if I set it to 1000, or 1500. I'll check in the morning, but it should be fine through the week at least even if it's just 1k

>>1899 never needed a board outside /tg/ for like the first 10 years of 4chan's life. /b/ went to shit inside of like2 years but /tg/ kept that quality for a whole decade unfortunately I don't think it's possible to fully recapture that magic, most of us are old faggots now for one thing, and for another idpol has utterly infested and mindfucked everyone. Autist circles are getting decimated by hormones like ghettoes were by crack, advertisers know what 4chan is and abusively post and advertise on the chans, and we have a 5x larger internet population but they're all fucking jeets with average 90 IQ.

>>2308 it's always been a problem, but keep in mind /tg/ literally spawned out of warhammer wednesday threads on /b/ - it was always first and foremost a warhammer board but everyone who played warhammer played other fatguy games so it all just kind of worked out anyway the thing is, imageboards are meant to have a flood of threads all the time. It's meant to be ephemereal, and it largely is - the latest drama burns for a week yes, but then it's back to normal after that. Threads that aren't popular/interesting simply die, which is good and sage helps prevent bad threads from gaining traction as it reminds people that thread quality matters and they shouldn't bump stuff that isn't quality The best way to make a 4chan-but-better isn't to ban this or that harder or better than ever before, it's to change the systemic mechanisms of content generation and discussion. None of the chans I've seen have actually tried improving on anything, which is a bit disappointing.

>>2245 >>2232 >>2051 Honestly I think generals are better for /tg/ because they keep the flood of Warhammer stuff from drowning out other more interesting threads. People got sick of 40k threads every time GW so much as sneezed or just being made with some time wasting question not worth reading. There's a reason that the "you missed the general" meme phrase became a thing. People were sick of the flood of 40k threads being made. The same somewhat goes for DnD threads.

>>2834 after what I've seen of generals on 4chan and other chans, I am no longer ever going to support their existence - not without mechanical changes to or adaptations of some kind to the imageboard format itself. There's a lot about generals that just seems to break the entire concept of the imageboard and what it's supposed to be doing - stuff isn't meant to stick around here forever, there isn't supposed to a general thread for x and y all hours of every day. I get that there's a need/desire for generals, I check some of them out from time to time too, but I really believe they decimate board culture and content generation and I got by just fine on a 4chan without any generals at all on any board anywhere for over 8 years (at least - although I'm not really sure when generals started I think it was 2012-14ish) and it was a much much much better 4chan back then than what died earlier this month. We still had problems with people constantly posting on the same topics incessently but generals both formalized how you do that and gave it the go ahead to be doing that, where before there was always a level of suppression and friction against shitting up the board with too much discussion of something that it drowns other stuff out - again a form of meta-moderation that was actually user-based and intrinsic to the imageboard design which generals subverted

>>2836 I get your sentiment. It just sucks when you put time and effort into making a thread only for it to be drowned out by so many Warhammer threads. Some of them with pointless subjects. I really enjoyed seeing anons say "you missed the general." It pissed off a lot of those thread spammers and for the most part it was the meta moderation you talked about.

>>2836 After seeing the absolute state of other boards over the last couple days, I agree with you completely now, anon. It really is just a bad format, isn't it? It's not like the discussions that happen in a general need to happen in a general, so to speak. A regular thread, even one that gets re-made when it falls off the catalogue, is more than good enough and might even be better without the rigid structure of a general. So long as I can still discuss Warhammer Fantasy on /tg/ with anons who know what's up, I'm okay with generals not being allowed. I'm assuming most of the spammers won't be making their way here so there shouldn't be an issue with multiple threads being made, though I cannot say the same for 40k. I understand Warhammer as a whole is seen as a topic to be contained, but I think that can be done without a general.

>>2839 Well, you're almost definitely going to see stuff get spammed if there's no generals. It happened before generals existed so there's no reason it won't happen again (and the spam still happened WITH generals tbh). Generals were, imo an attempt to try and shove obsessive types into a hole where they could keep talking about the exact same thing over and over and over every day every year without disturbing the entire rest of the board who just wanted to be chill and talk about whatever, but it backfired and consumed discussions wholesale, especially with wannabe-jannies trying to tell everyone else where and how to post. The thing is that inside a thread, there are no mechanisms to boost certain topics or kill posts that nobody likes (in fact bad posts usually get the most replies). If you think of the general thread as an imageboard itself, then the general thread has no bumps and no sages, whoever posts first or gets the most replies gets the most visibility, anyone with an interesting thought can very easily be glossed over if nobody replied to it, and that post will never get 'bumped', and when you push most of your board discussions into a general, you remove the implicit methods through which an imageboard boosts quality and suppresses garbage; because the general itself lacks those mechanisms. Whereas when you post the 5th warhammer thread in the past hour on the main board and not in the general, yes it gets more visibility, but it's also starting to annoy people, your first three replies are all sages telling you to fuck off into one of the other threads and maybe 1 guy bumps just to spite them - and that's all fine. It's all working as intended, because popular threads will always rise up faster and stay on the front page more and bad threads people don't want to post in will suffer, wither, and die. That's how it's meant to be. The improvements to be made here are mostly like, preventing bad actors from self bumping or making bumps lose power (bump to 2nd page instead of 1st say) the fewer unique posters are in the thread after 30 minutes, etc. But regardless you can see that the imageboard design fundamentally selects in the broad sense, for quality - and if you're going to improve on 4chan you want to latch onto that and try and create more selection pressure for quality threads and higher signal to noise ratio. Which I do not think generals do (at least as they presently exist). There are still a lot of other problems, like people spamming low quality low effort threads like twitter screencaps, or posting with inflammatory and inciteful headlines that are purposefully misleading, lying, or wrong just for the sake of getting replies, which are going to persist whether generals are around or not, but at least without generals there's a little more original content generation and a little more spontaneity. As an example, it was very typical for full fledged warhammer discussions to occur in a thread where some guy just wanted to show off the models he just painted, and I think that's good - it gives the board more interesting and varied topics on rotation from the board itself, you never know when someones simple question spawns an entire story and plot that develops into its own fully fledged setting or game - one example I can remember was an eclipse phase thread that got mass effect involved somehow (or maybe vice versa) and we wound up writing up a whole setting for that scenario specifically.

This board only has 2 rules? Aren't you afraid of getting flooded with loli porn spam?

>>2866 I see the concern trolls are in here already.

>>2866 Not really. I am fine with porn in general as long as its on-topic. I would ask the people posting loli to spoiler it but that is about it.

Hi Board Owner, could you add us to your "aligned boards" since we have you as a friend on /a/?

>>2892 It depends, can /a/ provide smug anime girls flavored for /tg/?

>>2915 Probably not, no...

Okay, I think i'll let /tg/ go from our list of linked boards for now, you can contact us in the meta thread or at a8chvolunteer@gmail.com if you'd like us to link each other again.

>>2928 br/a/s... not like this! (also I am not BO, just shitposting)

>>2963 oh... ogey

>>2992 Lol, that guy trolled you. Anyways yeah thats a cool idea, and I will add you guys now

>>2892 >aligned boards but /tg/ is true neutral!

>>3038 Please, /tg/ is lawful evil.

>>3078 Here, have my personal shitlist for ublacklist https://pastebin.com/yZeXbcfG

>>3105 Ah, thank you!

annnnnnd good bye top board placement 4chan is back and the addicts in the warhammer threads are already failing their leadership rolls.

4chan is back bitut i will keep sticking here as my main /tg/ board for posting. I will lurk the generals i follow on 4chan but i will not indulge that place any more... unless of course this board fucking dies for good, i can live off 2-5 posts a day for the matter.

>>3140 We will stand as a bulwark agasint the terror

Don't care if 4chan is back, they banned Ribbon so they deserved it.

>>3140 Honestly I enjoy being over here more than there and will probably keep up with posting here. I felt like I'm talking to real humans and nobody has insulted me for no reason except sheer misanthropic spite like happens there. We could have a better life if we would but chose to have it.

>>3139 I'm staying! If people forgot to bring a battle standard bearer to re-roll their break tests, that's their problem, not mine. Real generals know what's up.

Glad to have you guys aboard!

>>3153 ill do my best boss man

Nah... I am not leaving. halfchan /tg/ is not a good place anymore. This have been comfiest two weeks of /tg/ posting I had in years.

Laugh while you kill Laugh while you die Simply do not give the enemy the satisfaction of your death you laughing merely ruins their moment

>>3157 Well played anon.

Please don't actually leave, /tg/. I miss clicking the front page and seeing HFY, Warhammer, and not 50 thousand generals and the twenty jannies banning everything that isn't a long-running thread from their friend group.

>>3156 >>3188 I really hate to go back to 4chan for /tg/ but I've had a thread open here with no posts in it since tuesday, a second that has only had 2 comments per day and another thread that hasn't got more than OP and me and is stuck at two comments, yet all three topics have had dozens of posts on 4chan /tg/ since coming back up. I hate the jannies there, I hate the timers, but what is the point of interacting in a place where there is no interaction? I may as well be shouting into a void.

Added you guys back to our header, thanks!

>>3199 You can use both, post here time to time, especially when you get frustrated by 4chan. I think most of the attention during the 4chan crash was sucked by meta-threads discussions and happenings, once the things normalize (assuming that no one else leaves) there may by more diversified (although slow) activity here.

>make a metathread on 4/tg/ in good faith >some anons choose to shitfling >thread is deleted upon 150 replies https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/95530359/ Man... a big part of the problem is honestly sup/tg/ not covering new /tg/s. Moving over here is a clear separation which will probably need a new archive site. But it's kind of obvious the jannies on 4/tg/ really just don't want to talk about it.

>>3228 Lel, I was banned for posting in that thread, oh boy, router reboot button, here I come.

This is /tg/ meta, not "Complain About 4chan General", so let's complain about problems on 4/tg/ so they don't happen on 8/tg/. How about we have a rule against obvious content farm bait? 4/tg/ is good about telling OPs of such threads (whenever knowingly or unknowingly) to say "You first", but as we know you can't enforce culture as a rule.

>>3237 Yeah, sorry, it's just too good to be able to bitch and moan without janny immediately purging the thread. >How about we have a rule against obvious content farm bait? I don't think you can. You either have board culture and that culture needs places for sharing to evolve and survive, or you have dead board, where everyone stepping outside of accepted norms/generals is purged... sounds familiar?

>>3237 >>3239 Yeah, i also think it may be counter intuitive to set a bar now, the traffic here was slow during 4chan blackout and it's decreased even more now. For example there's that thread about op (low effort) whining about dee n dee much like the usual bumpfag threads back on 4/tg/ but i assumed it was left alone because at least was moving things a bit. That said i think anons here are more keen for self-moderation so thtead 'quality' per se shouldn't pose a problem.

>>3237 That stuff isn't so bad, it's when your general becomes inhabited by a literal faggot who is constantly posting nudes of himself that the jannies choose to never ever ban, and then people use the general to start posting about an entirely different game because they work for the company that (currenty, not original creators) produces the thread topic game and feel like they own the thread or some shit and the jannies also choose to never to do anything about that even though advertising is prohibited. But they'll happpily delete posts of anons who are actually painting on topic miniatures because they chose a paint sheme that is "real world politics" even though that is a canon part of the game that there are rules for =/

>>3240 >>3237 I mean its a good idea but sorry for rementioning 4chan but any type of content farm bait will not be posted here now and they all go back to baiting on 4chan

>>3237 >a rule against obvious content farm bait Low effort OPs can already be acted upon, no need for such an overly specific rule. Also no one is coming here to farm content, they can get it incomparably faster and easier elsewhere: this board has 3.2k posts total, 4/tg/ had 245k posts LAST MONTH ALONE, let's not even consider actual normalfag platforms.

Under sun and sky /tg/, /vr/'s BO greets you warmly. Would you like to be companions?

>>3264 >Rolls charisma Fuck ya dude.

Would /tg/ like to be board friends with >>>/jp/ ?

>>3438 Why sure, that sounds like fun!

>>3157 The janny tranny mod here is worse than the /tg/ ones, we aren’t even allowed to have our own general in this place, tried making a /hgg/ but he rolled it into an 3 year old ”autistic Horus Heresy/30k” thread for no reason at all. Guess it disturbed his autism or something, but then it’s strange that he allowed all the other generals to ”exist”… It isn’t surprising that this place is dead considering his blatant powertripping faggotry.
