>>1611359 I'm not suggesting anyone to do anything, but ideally isn't that when the violence should start to happen?

>>1611278 no worries, sleep well

>>1611359 The so called "government" response can be overruled, if it's debated in parliament. Same thing with the SKG petition, the response is possibly meaningless since it went over the 100k signature threshold.

>>1611374 >The so called "government" response can be overruled, if it's debated in parliament. By whom? The Online Safety Act 2023 was introduced by the Conservative ministers Michelle Donelan and Stephen Parkinson.

>>1611397 By whatever they decide on when they debate it in Parliament, which could also just be the same answer we got now. It's why I said "can" and not "will".

Can the eceleb thread be deleted, or at least kicked off the board? The second /vb/ was made, all those kinds of threads should have been pushed there if allowed at all. >containment There's a concept in economics called induced demand, famously if you build more roads traffic gets worse. Containment actually does the exact opposite of what you think it does, all it's going to do is attract Discord zoomer dramafags. By allowing it, you're going to pull in and foster a worse userbase, like Kiwifags. >muh rule 9 Fuck r9 Delete r9

>>1611434 I thought of complaining about it too, that thread has almost no good people in it, but doesn't it hit you as kind of shitty to change a pre-existing rule so you can delete a thread?

>>1611434 The OP of the thread in question. Personally I have no problem if Mark decides to change Rule 9 and delete the thread, but until then, I will rule lawyer like a faggot. As for /vb/ I have argued when my ID was 172ac9 that the OP was of higher stock than what you normally find on /vb/, furthermore it's not for (You) to decide what gets sent to /vb/, but for mods. Again, if Mark wants to change Rule 9, I am perfectly fine with it. As for containment, I created the thread, partly in response to the thread someone had made about Synthetic Man which means there was demand, which rightfully got deleted for breaking Rule 9, but it had also started to get interesting, when anons started talking about growing old and still being a video game e-celeb, so I kinda wanted to continue that discussion. The other part, was that I had hoped that it could have been a fun thread, and that it's ok as long as we have it once every few years, as this wasn't the first thread we've had on e-celebs, and from what I remember, anons didn't sperg as much back then. Honestly, I think the thread is more of a reflection of the current userbase we have, no fun allowed prudes that jump at every shadow thinking it's reddit or cuckchan tier. Do you honestly believe such threads will actually attract anyone? in fact do you actually believe threads attract anyone, in this place? Do you think someone will actually google "discussion about e-celeb", and the first search result Jewgle provides is not Reddit, not cuckchan, not some other forum, but 8chan? The reality is, that people don't go to where "quality" is necessarily, but where their friends are. This is why a lot of cuckchanners went back to cuckchan when it re-opened, not because those threads were better, but because that's where their friends were. The e-celeb thread we've had now, is not filled with Reddit tourists, but the already existing userbase, and what you see there is the quality of the average poster. In a more meta way, I find it a bit hilarious, how much I had to defend my shit thread, as few anons ever had to go to such lengths to defend their threads before. In the end, I guess both (Me) and (You) are just the embodiment of pic related. >tl;dr sure, change Rule 9, whatever. >inb4 you could have made a better OP Ok sure, I will keep that in mind if I make a new one in two or three years.

>>1611580 Me on the top But you to raise a good point

>>1611592 To elaborate a little, I've seen "no I'm not the tourist YOU'RE the tourist" shitflung around too often and it's recent. Pretty sure it isn't even a thing exclusive to this website either

>>1611580 I have noticed there seems to be one (?) guy who gets really catty about the eceleb thread, I'm guessing that's you? It makes more sense if you're the OP. Are you also >>1589391, >>1589311 etc? Not an "accusation", your posts just remind me of him

>>1611608 I posted with the ID 172ac9, it only recently got changed, as I switched to Tor to use the .moe domain as .se is down. I apologize if my posts seemed catty, as that wasn't my intention. I was just angry that mods bumplocked the thread, without changing the rules, and without giving a clear reason, as it appeared that they had given into the pressure of some anons writing complaints using the Report feature, but that is just my conspiracy theory. I really would have been fine if they had said no more e-celeb threads, or that e-celeb threads belong on /vb/, but they didn't so here we are. No, I am not those posters you mentioned, I don't use "trvth" and I don't hop IPs when posting, to seem like multiple people. When a02437 posted, I was still using my old ID.

>>1611580 Honestly I don't consider an eceleb thread on it's own an awful idea, but the current cuckchan stock just consider it a carte blanche to import twitter and foxdick bullshit drama absolutely irrelevant to videogames or politics shit that would've been better served in the GG thread. I worry less about the precedent of such a thread and more about it growing to be another tumor anathema to the original userbase as cuckchanners pollute it with their shit tastes, retarded culture and conversational skills. Genuinely how pathetic do you have to be to consider a faggot with barely above 10 posts such an issue you start calling moderators over it.Just because this board bans Soyjaks doesn't mean it's some walled garden where moderators cater to your every whim.

>>1611711 >been better served in the GG thread. Well, this is also part of the "containment" aspect, that I didn't elaborate in my OP or in previous posts. Another reason, why I thought of making the thread, was to hopefully dislocate Pirate Fagware drama from SKG as I don't think the movement should be about how much of a fag he is. Don't get me wrong, I am glad he is now the laughing stock of the internet, it's just that I think it pollutes way too much the discussion of game preservation. Some anons, in the SKG disagreed, and said how drama was necessary to reach the 1.4 million mark, and maybe they are right, doesn't I have to like it, or that discussions of him as an individual, wouldn't be better placed in a containment thread about game e-celebs. As for the GG thread, I am sure that the AVGN anon would have posted the same thing in a random GG thread, or the 2 anons shit flinging over Synthetic Man in another GG thread, if it wasn't for the e-celeb thread. Now is that really a good thing? Some anon, commented, about how GG threads weren't getting as many posts per hour day as they used to, and I think it's in part, because a lot of energy went into the SKG thread including offtopic discussions about politics towards the end of the first thread, the Visa and Mastercard thread, and to some small extent the e-celeb thread. What would have just been anons shitting the thread, to get it to 750 posts, are now dispersed to several threads. On one hand the cancer, has spread, on the other it has left the GamerGate thread to focus on it's mission to.... uhm.... fight for.... ethics in game journalism, yeah that's it. Now that the threads are less cancerous, anons can dig and fight for what it's right.

>>1611763 The GG thread could focus on the absolute shit show that are going to be the current UK child protection age verification retardation and how the entire EU and US are likely going to apply similarly retarded shit in a year. You know, freedom of speech, that part of what was adopted as the "movements" principles when it became clear most mainstream sites wouldn't allow you to talk about that shit and is what lead to people going to 8chan in the first place.Now if only the rats in the eceleb thread could actually learn that.

>>1611791 Sure, that a good thing to talk about, maybe even try to something, but again, part of the energy is redirected to the Visa and Mastercard thread. Should that thread be merged with the GG thread, or accept that some of the discussion will be in that thread, similar thing with the SKG thread? None of us are mods, so these are rhetorical questions, it's mostly food for thought.

Can someone have this thread >>1609395 pinned like the previous one? I feel like it's important enough to justify it.

>>1611814 I think it might be big enough to warrant a seperate thread, then again shit like this GG is pretty much the endgame of what GG was created to combat: Social pressure to dictate what gets made and sold by moralfags. The seperate thread was already made,remade and made cyclical so it is what it is and backing out now would be gay unless the cyclical Visa thread peters out.

Some Qtard is trying to shill Jim "Ian" Watkins' site >>1612511

How exactly does one learn to do custom CSS or JS for sites like this? Wouldn't the structure be particular to the site's layout? Syntax is one thing but how would you know what to actually point anything towards, to (for example) search for a word in the text of post bodies and not other text?

>>1589217 :^)

>>1613079 >How exactly does one learn to do custom CSS Playing peek and poke mostly is how I learned. >go to a board with a neat CSS >inspect option in browser >go to Style Editor tab >scroll down to custom.css >copy >go to /v/ or /test/ or any other board with a default CSS >click on settings (gear icon) >click on CSS >paste in box >hit save Now you're ready to dicker around with elements until you figure out what does what. You'll learn eventually. At least enough to make you board pop a bit. >or JS Javascript has to be whitelisted manually by the Admins and they almost never seem to have time to do it, not promptly at any rate. If they did I would probably have added falling leaves to my board every fall.

>>1612597 I noticed that, real odd. I wonder how he found out about this site, or why he posted it to /v/.

>>1613651 maybe he fell through a time portal

The site just flatout has been dying for me last night Fix the fucking place

>>1613810 .se seems to be working now at least.

I recently went through the /v/ archives, and while it's awesome that these exist, could the formatting for these be modified to be longer overall? As in, make the archived entries take up one row instead of three per row and increase the length of the page to compensate.

>>1615103 You would need to make the suggestion in the pinned thread on /site/

>>1613888 .se working is a godsend. .moe is unstable as fuck and so slow that images that minutes to load, it really gives that genuine 2007 experience.

>>1617938 I thought we liked the old internet?

>>1617938 I can only speak for myself here but I have literally never had any issue with .moe outside of scheduled maintenance and when the site is getting spammed.

>>1618261 I had frequent issues with moe before so I always used se. Then se died for that long ass time though so I had to use moe again. Now I tend to jump between them whenever I notice an issue on one but not the other.

>>1617942 If everything is going to get forced into dark web hosting then we will get those dogshit speeds either way.

When did we get so big in Indonesia

>>1620881 That EXPLAINS a lot about the rapefugees coming back and sticking out like a sore thumb. I guess cuckchan's jokes about SEAmonkeys/SEAanons weren't to be taken lightly.

>>1620955 They're not always bad posters but it often feels like they're trying to mimic being anons. From in index I spotted this post >>1620965 and I feel like this guy wasn't here until 3 months ago. I could be completely wrong as he knows code tags I'm unsure how to describe what I'm noticing, but my subconscious is picking something up. Most posts on /v/ are written in a similar prose, as if by the same person. When somebody deviates from that, it's very noticeable.

>>1621025 I think it's a common internet phenomena that people will not accept that an individual that is in the same group as them might be with all due respect retarded. This time around you and a few other individuals here have a pretty easy scapegoat group to throw your quarrels towards. You're right that it's your subconscious, but maybe not the way you might think.

>>1621025 <anon <From in index You'd be straight wrong about that, you're complaining about the guy who usually made the OPs of the previous threads like >>1072700 >>1018065 https://archive.ph/F5zZ2 I'd probably link more threads I've made but the archive update only came in recently this year. I guess accusing the natives of being newfags is a trite cuckchan tactic, but why even engage in that tired Alinskyism? Just observe what works and what is frowned upon and then apply so you integrate better. At least you're not as embarrassing as that sperg who got mad at the Rivals Malice skin I posted in the #GG thread. I WISH that everybody posted 4K webms with AV1 all the time instead of being a tell for me, it's something I want as a reality for this site also lmao people seem to really like reposting my Worth a Buy encode but people always complain about muh speed and the command-lines and tools involved. Usually they posted 360p rips, but even since The Great Cuckening in April we've just been getting naked JewTube links and the practice of archiving has been diluted. The disparity in tech know-how is always an easy tell to distinguish the oldfags like me and the newfags along with a greater embrace of normalfag social media trends from the newfags. I get the payment processor controversy has brought you guys back but come on, <Most posts on /v/ are written in a similar prose, as if by the same person. When somebody deviates from that, it's very noticeable that's just how people here write posts when there aren't a gazillion dumbasses who treat everything like it's a Discuck chatroom.

>>1620955 I would unironically take indogs over pajeets at least.

>>1620881 Probably all the vtuber/gachafags from their respective boards

>>1620881 That's just the population of /gacha/. Also I thought our site was banned in Russia, so I am surprised about the traffic. >>1621025 That anon has posted for a long time here. I personally call him compression anon, as I think he is the same anon who talks about the best jpg format that compresses a lot, but has not loss in quality. >>1621205 >they posted 360p rips I do this a lot, but it's mostly either very old webms, or when I want to post something from jewtube, and if it's small enough, I will just download a 360 rip and be done with it. Most of the time, it's just a disposable webm/mp4 so I don't really care about the quality.

>>1621473 >"send bobs saar your windows is malfunctioning do not redeem" vs. ladyboys and vampires with dislocatable parts It's not even a fucking choice.

WAKE UP MODS, THE FAGGOT IS SPAMMING CHILD MODELS AGAIN! DO YOUR FUCKING JOB!

>>1621486 all ours went back to cuckchan as soon as it opened up so they're gachafags if the data's even remotely real and current the current vtuber watchers are mostly north america, some europe, and a few south americans

>talking about concerns regarding switch prices increasing, while in the switch thread >post deleted Okay?

>>1623475 I don't know what the fuck's going on in that thread. The article on question wasn't that bad and I don't understand the need of removing the post.

>>1623475 Saying anything that can even remotely be construed as negative towards either Nintendo or the Switch 2 generally leads to deletions and in some cases bans in that thread.

>>1623475 Not to defend mark's faggotry but switch 1 and 2 misinfo has been so fucking egregious and absurd that you are better off sticking to facts rather than literal rumors.

>>1623651 But my post was only talking about my dissatisfaction over joycons still being cheap and low quality, while still costing 90 bucks. Not to mention I've had several of my other posts deleted when I say things like "why does Splatoon still use P2P when it's 3 installments in and has done nothing to improve the online".

>>1623516 The post showing the article is still up, it was actually that one anon who was sperging by parroting all the ragebait so far ("bricking" when you get banned online for using a homebrew flashcart while connected to the Internet are people this dumb to not disable Internet when doing this kind of thing, getting specifically upset at an online chat/invite button being part of the online services, etc.). The other posts like >>1623779 weren't warrant to be deleted imo but maybe things have unfortunately derailed enough during my absence for the moderation to step in I assume.

Do we have any free vols? /bag/ could use one right now.

>>1624963 Done

>>1623475 refresh

>>1624482 are you the fucking faggot who spams reports whenever someone says "brick" instead of "online ban"? I swear one of these days I'll actually permaban your IP

>>1623475 >>1624482 I restored the price increase article a few minutes after I deleted it last night. The other posts pertained to the weird kind of biased rumors surrounding the Switch but I apologize if I deleted one innocent post or two in the crossfire

>>1625420 No? I'm the OP of the Switch thread and I didn't report anything, I simply assumed the sperg anon doubled down following my last reply, while I was away, and all the posts (besides mine) were deleted like scorched earth. Like I said earlier, there are several anon's posts that didn't deserve to be deleted in the thread even when stating criticism.

>>1625484 >all the posts (besides mine) were deleted like scorched earth I restored them before writing >>1625420, but let it be a warning for the shitheads who keep reporting posts who say "brick" instead of "online ban" when talking about MIG bricks and the likes. This libtard-tier insistence on using the right word has to fucking go, and be honest, nobody wants to keep a banned console

>>1625496 Brick implies that Nintendo is reaching into your console and getting you stuck in an uninteractive black screen. Not only is it pretty simple to go in there and throw the word "brick" around to start shit or to misinform, it also muddies the waters for when and if they actually they start bricking consoles

>>1625524 Sure, it's simple to stir shit with the word "brick", but deleting every single post that uses the word that is retarded, and you're retarded for implicitly encouraging that kind of overreaching moderation. I'll only ever advocate for deletion and bans if the same ID was spamming the same narrative for several posts because that's what actual shitstirring looks like. Also, if this was x86 PC land and fucking Dell or MSI remotely nuked my motherboard's Ethernet port and disallowed me from updating my OS simply because I downloaded a keygen, it's a partial brick. Partial, but still, a brick - taking away a feature I paid for, aka, stolen money. Get over it.

Vols, do you mind if there's a separate thread for the GOG thing?

>>1625621 Someone created a separate thread for it and 3 people in the mod team agreed to merging it into the Visa thread

>>1625595 >overreaching moderation That's fair, I agree with that and maybe vols should do it more like that from here on out >Dell or MSI remotely nuked my motherboard's internet port Problem with that comparison is that the Nintendo Switch uses Nintendo's services for most of it's online functionality. A fairer comparison would be if Dell held a monopoly over most if not all website hosts and banned your computer by hardware ID. I get your point though

>>1623779 Trying to sweep under the rug that prices may increase due to epstein's friend's tariffs and trying to blame it on nintendo being greedy is at best biased, at worst active misinfo.

>>1625496 > This libtard-tier insistence on using the right word has to fucking go Probably because they are not even synonyms, a brick implies the console doesn't even turn on when in reality what happens is you just don't get to access the eshop or play online, that's it. The console still works for normal gaming and you can even still get filmware upgrades. >B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but muh hecking keycard. In one hand sucks to suck, try not be a piratenigger and going online while you do it, but also allegedly you can still download keycard data anyway, but I have not been able to fact check that one.

>>1625595 Words have meanings nigger. Use words properly instead of acting like a chimp because you hate nintendo.

>>1626239 You sound upset that someone might disdain a company for having greedy business practices.

>>1626246 I'm upset at literal misinfo.

>>1626264 You should be upset that Nintendo is nuking your Ethernet port instead, you 17 trillion yen company defender

>>1625477 Why would biased rumors get deleted on /v/? Virtually every single post on this board is a snarky biased half-truth, that's like the essence of imageboard culture and is never deleted in any other context.

>>1626579 I imagine it's bad when it's a concentrated effort Psyops if you will

>>1627005 Or it could be that other thing, a consensus. Kind of like how anybody calling Fallout 3 bad isn't a psyop but if anybody dares to call it good they always get shouted down for it. Perfectly even-handed dealings, that.

>>1627154 Wouldn't it be kind of weird if I started saying that Fallout 3 is good for a reason that is not in the game at all? Or a reason that is a slightly distorted truth? What if I was really insistent on my points, repeating until people start to parrot it themselves or until a bunch of (1)s magically start to come in to say the exact same thing?

>>1627200 Oh, like how Fallout 3's world is, or at least feels, bigger than New Vegas because NV is just a safety ring with a bunch of no-go zones? Or like how F3 is a lot more interesting and exciting and absurd, and the best anybody can say about NV is linking that one retard that wastes half a video essay talking about his favorite hipster literary term, shandification? Might be real sus if they did that, sure. Sussy bakas, perchance.

>>1627247 That's weird, reading yourr post made my blood pressure spike a little

>>1627255 i cant imagine why

>>1627247 >>1627259 I get you're mad, but please don't suck Todd Howard's dick just to be a contrarian.

>>1627284 what if he enjoys it?

>>1627005 >>1627200 >>1627255 People will exaggerate things about everything. I've had my favorite games shat on for the stupidest reasons. It's no reason to assume that everything negative is a psy-op. It just means that you have an opportunity to correct the misinformation. That seems fair, right? That's why, in my complaints about the Switch, I stick to the facts. You can verify that joycons are still using the faulty triggers that, for some reason, tend to fail more than normal sticks. And you can easily see that they're 90 dollars. So that's not an exaggeration. I'm not gonna get behind claims that the Switch 2 will literally get bricked if Nintendo says so, as that's still unconfirmed, but there is reason to be worried about the console.

>>1627336 >It's no reason to assume that everything negative is a psy-op. When people were telling me straight to my face the switch 2 would not come with a dock, would require buying a second screen, would have no internal storage, and would be making you buy expensive proprietary memory cards like the vita to store your $100 usd games on, and you better hope there's no voltage variations on the charger because it would brick your system, and expect me to believe it all, that is the point I will assume the switch/nintendo hate going on right now is absolutely a fucking psyop.

>>1627382 >the switch/nintendo hate going on right now is absolutely a fucking psyop Or people are just tired of consoles & gaming hardware in general. Other console manufacturers get the same amount of hate. PC parts manufacturers get even more hate (in fact they get it 24/7 all year long) If anything you should see this as a net positive because corpos are now at least being hit with criticism

>>1627394 >Other console manufacturers get the same amount of hate. Other console manufacturers get real things to get hate for, like the PS5 liquid metal issue that got so bad that sony had to issue an underclocking update to lessen it. Nintendo hate comes from straight up lies like the voltage thing and psyop niggers expect me to believe those "rumors" as facts.

>>1627397 >speculation le bad and you should totally delete them all ?? Now you're just trolling, fuck off. The Switch 2 is already out and nobody has ever said shit since then

>>1627402 >speculation Holy fucking shit dude, it was a literal shitpost on gbatemp that everyone took as fact and ran with it to attack nintendo. This type of "criticism" straight up gaslighting* about nintendo is why it's impossible to take anything that is not a literal proven fact with multiple sources seriously now.

>>1627407 So it's a psyop, except it's not a psyop and people are just shitposting, and because you don't like it, you call it a psyop and call for moderation to get rid of it?

>>1627413 So you're saying it's fine for people to pass off literal lies as facts under the guise of "speculation" only because it's used to attack nintendo?

>>1627414 Yeah, shitposting is allowed, duh.

>>1627336 >>1627382 >>1627394 >>1627397 >>1627402 >>1627407 >>1627413 >>1627414 <all this shitflinging over the fucking Switch Is the 'tism really that fucking bad? All I give a shit about is that I used a VPN to report niggerpill and all those "I swear I'm not affiliated with the average pedophile leftist" spammers in the scatflinging sticky and apparently the vols imported from cuckchan decided to accuse that IP of being "GCfag" and tempban me. There is neither hide nor hair of any posts stating that all games should run on sixth-generation hardware or something, so clearly bullshit because god forbid vols do what they're recruited to do and address extremely obvious raids. Is the global economy that bad that it is life or death to fight over how five hundred burgerbux should be disposed of? Fuck the Switch niggers who harassed me over saying the S2 wouldn't come out in 2021, fuck the Xcawk and Sonyniggers who have no lives obsessing over Nintendo, and fuck the cuckchanners who are bringing their Discuck cancer here.

>>1627427 >the vols imported from cuckchan decided to accuse that IP of being "GCfag" and tempban me If you're the poster of >>1626305, I lifted the ban, Mark was being a retard. I'll talk to him later

>>1627415 >Yeah, shitposting is allowed, duh. I'd like to avoid 8ch being turned into a 4chan-lite where discussing things in normal manners become impossible because of schizophrenic anons

>>1627454 I never said anything about allowing actual schizophrenics to screw threads over, just that I won't hand out blind ban on posts coming from normal posters just because retards like >>1627414 reported them. I'll just remind people here that vols can indeed see poster history and 90% of reports from Nintendofags are on perfectly normal posts from perfectly normal posters.

>>1627454 a heavily curated hugbox lorded over by autistic arbiters of truth who can't handle anyone saying something they don't like isn't normal and 8moe being that is exactly why its already 4chan lite. the only difference is on 4chan you outnumber the thought police 10000 to 1 and are unlikely to be targeted by them as a result whereas here its more like 10 to 1 so every post you ever make will be scrutinized by them.

Aside from the fact that you can't post actual democrat support there either, here's the actual difference.

>>1627545 >june 2019 oh hey, that was before the cloudflare betrayal

>>1627545 >iToddlers BTFO Loled

>>1627545 the difference there is that the users are the ones doing the curating through common consensus by shitposting any thread they collectively don't like to death. turning shit threads into roll threads or spiderman threads or whatever is normal imageboard behavior which showed that the users were given the power to choose for themselves what was worthy of being taken seriously and what wasn't. what do you think would happen here if everyone collectively decided to turn a thread the jannies like into a roll thread and spam it with bateman? they would all get banned and have their post histories wiped because they're making the mistake of thinking they get to be the ones to curate the content of the board rather than the faggots that weaseled their way into a position of power.

>>1627556 >the difference there is that the users are the ones doing the curating through common consensus by shitposting any thread they collectively don't like to death. I guess they didn't like every thread on the entire board.

>>1627565 retard

>>1627565 if its so prevalent then go ahead and find a thread that isn't 6 years old where the original post is included so we can see that a quality thread full of potential was squandered by the hordes of rampant shitposters that ruin everything.

>>1627520 I just wanted to make sure that mod-kun wasn't dead-pan serious on simply stating the shitposting is allowed (which is a plaguing problem on 4chan, even more since they removed the ID counter there long ago).

>>1627583 you don't have to worry because even if he is theres always a more censorious faggot in the cabal of tranny jannies to pull up his slack and delete the posts he won't. the fact that hes doing anything short of worshipping the ground nintendo walks on means that hes probably not long for this world anyway.

>>1627415 Mr. Vol, mind reading Rule 8 for me?

.moe's security certificate is fucked.

>>1627770 malicious retard

>>1590074 How it should be.

>>1627413 "Psyop" is the new "spam". I'm barely here, and that catch-all buzzword shit is why.

>>1627397 >Nintendo hate comes from straight up lies Is it shitposting if I say something like "Nintendo doesn't need to raise their prices due to tariffs or inflation because they always make a massive profit off of all their ventures, so they have no reason to embrace more expensive prices other than lining their own pockets" That doesn't seem like a lie, does it? every game of theirs breaks record sales and they have more money than most small countries, so it would be nice if they ate the cost of the tariffs and inflation for a change, instead of doing what everyone else is doing and passing the cost onto the customer. I think this actually got me a warning from one of the mods, and they called it "console war bullshit". What do you think?

I think that the split of people who think "let me say what I want" and the people who think "it's all shitposting/psyopping/spamming" is at an almost perfect 50/50, so the only logical solution is to make it so that the first two weeks of the month have a laxer moderation while the last two weeks of the month have stricter moderation.

>>1590074 Most people here take things way too personal and get easily irritated

>>1590074 wew

>>1629228 At the same time, they have no reason to not raise prices because they basically have no competition anymore, especially not with PC gaming shooting itself in the foot by BOTH GPU manufacturers going full jew, steam bending over to payment processors killing the lifelong trust a lot of people had on valve, and steamOS/linux with proton causing a divide in the install base due to people jumping off from windows, but not enough people to call it a victory over windows.

>>1629228 No that's an entirely fine response. As I said earlier, there were multiple posts in the bing bing wahoo thread that didn't deserve to be deleted, but I can vouch for 4511d3's anon in that there has been a rather strong "Trump derangement syndrome [but it's Nintendo instead]" thing going on where people will spread any single negative news about that company without much a thought and for the need of drama. Gaming journalists and a bunch of youtubers are essentially banking on this kind of content since they know it generates clicks & views.

>>1629625 >steam bending over to payment processors killing the lifelong trust a lot of people had on valve, What are they supposed to do? If they told the payment processors to go screw themselves, then Valve gets cut off from the biggest payment processors in the entire world. It'd be like apple pulling out of the UK because they were forced to comply with USB-C, which they couldn't afford in the slightest because of how big the UK market is.

>>1629839 I don't know man, anything else but imediately folding and using it as an excuse to purge "undesirable" games would have been better. Valve also outright buying a yacht company like a week after this fiasco started is also just rubbing salt on the wound to anyone even implying valve is short on money.

>>1629857 >immediately folding Because you can't fight a payment processor. They are literally where you get your money from. They are the people who can starve a company until they go into bankruptcy, hence why it doesn't really matter how much money Valve has. I hate that they folded as well, but this is more than a simple dispute.

>>1629871 Maybe they should have called attention to the issue a decade ago instead of letting it get this bad as an excuse to get rid of those icky anime games then. Still not giving a cent to valve after this btw.

>>1629907 I hate Valve too but this is ultimately far more harmful to developers than to Valve.

>>1629907 A decade ago the payment processors weren't being this blatant in abusing their power. Besides, I don't see anyone else doing anything. So Valve isn't alone in the blame.

>>1630010 >A decade ago the payment processors weren't being this blatant in abusing their power. They absolutely fucking were, it just so happens nobody said anything because "lol it's just coomer slop who cares?" and now here we are, with a decade old "told you so" hitting your face.

bring this to the payment processors thread

>>1628638 What this anon said. >>1630075 .se just lags out for me right now.

Both moe and se are dying to me what's happening?

>>1630494 .moe has its SSL certificate expired but you can still access, .se is hard down and I don't know why

I can’t access se at all And moe warns me it’s unprotected so I’m worried the european government may attack me across the ocean or somwthing like that Can someone explain what’s going on?

>>1627200 I want to say "what is it with you retards", but really it's just Mark and like 2 other dumbfucks. You treat anon's like they're as retarded as you are and need to be protected from schizo spergs. No one that sees "anti-nintendo gayops" is actually influenced by them. The entire board shits on people when they talk about buying games on steam, and guess what? Anon's still buy plenty of licenses on steam when they find it convenient. Yes there are autistic weirdo's that decide to obsessively shill some esoteric talking point and samefag. No it does not matter in the slightest, and you are equally as obsessive about calling them out and trying to convince anon's not to fall for their narratives about companies 99% of anon's couldn't care less about in the first place. It unironically would not matter at all if some retarded freak went on a months long campaign to convince anon's that Fallout 3 was bad while constantly misrepresenting the game. It's a fucking imageboard and you are taking it waaaaaay to fucking seriously dude. Anon's already don't believe or dismiss people for entirely legitimate criticisms of games they like. Your behavior is that of someone who seems like they've been on an imageboard for less than a few weeks, except you've actually been here for over a decade. When people post real criticism of games anon's respond with "kill yourself nigger". When people post misrepresented criticism of games anon's respond with "kill yourself nigger". It does not matter.

Clean up the CP spam on the UT thread for fuck's sake.

Forgot to remove the sage

Update the hulk hogan banner since he's gone

How did you lose most of your traffic post the whole 4chins hack/minor collapse of site? whenever I'm banned from 4/v/ i often mistake this place as another active vidya discussion place. You haven't even had one thread on BF6 yet for example, such a big reveal like that is surely worthy of it's own thread. What looked promising a couple of months ago came to an abrupt halt pretty quick. And i desperately need a /v/ alternative because it's hard for me to circumvent the bans.

>>1635767 Invite people over using whatever means you know, assuming you know anybody who uses chans personally.

>>1635767 Lack of 'AAA' goyslop is precisely why you don't belong here. Go back.

>>1635776 Battlefield is Battlefield, it's important part of gaming history. Even if some consider it to have gone astray from the refractor era. I'd just expect any thread on it, even critiquing it if anyone has the desire to do so.

>>1635781 Anon...make the thread I'll even post it in, i promise.

>>1635767 Most refugees saw this as a temporary home, before they could go back to their den, furthermore people post where their friends are. If their friends remained here like with the /gacha/ community, then they will remain here as well, but if they think their friends are on cuckchan, then they will go back there. >>1635781 If you make a high quality thread, people will post in it. Conversely, if you make a one-liner OP it will most likely either get deleted or moved to >>>/vb/

>>1635797 >Most refugees saw this as a temporary home, before they could go back to their den, furthermore people post where their friends are. If their friends remained here like with the /gacha/ community, then they will remain here as well, but if they think their friends are on cuckchan, then they will go back there. >>1635797 Reminds me of how i saw some banners like FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS USE DISCORD (They're right, horrible spyware program)

>>1635797 The thing about /gacha/ is it was a special case inside a special case. Not only it turned out their jannies were actively shitting up the threads, most gacha have guild systems AND said gacha tend to have 4chan guilds, which in turn moved to 8chan guilds.

>>1635767 The people don't stay because there is no rapeape and his cronies engineering tard wars between multiple groups in boards. Console wars, eceleb wars, anime wars, gacha revenue wars, /pol/ autism wars, vtuber wars, etc.

>>1635928 It's not just /gacha/, but also some v-tuber communities like /vyt/ and /2434/, the Jumpchain CYOA one, and a few minor ones here(like aa2 and tohou) and on /co/ among others. Now, these are mini-communities, and not just random anons, but that just strengthens my point. It's about posting where one's friends are. Note: I am not saying there were no Tohou posters before, only that a lot of 4chan tohou posters came here to post in the threads, same with Fire Emblem.

>>1635767 >You haven't even had one thread on BF6 yet for example, such a big reveal WOW, YET ANOTHER ANNUAL GOYSLOP GAME WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CARE AND ATTENTION THAT EXISTS SOLELY TO FARM CASH OFF NORMALFAGS! WE REALLY CARE! Go BACK to cuckchan.

>>1635767 Besides what others have said there's simply much more of an ideological separation between younger, shorter-attention spanned anons from current 4chan and older, more time-conscious anons from 8chan. Most of the discussion on here revolves around more niche and retro games which was already relegated to separate boards on 4chan. I can't speak for them but I'd imagine coming over here, looking at the catalog and seeing maybe 1 or 2 generals and then nothing but people using words to discuss companies and game design and shit would drive the average 4chan user to assume the board is dead and nobody using it, despite activity here having been steady for the last like three years. Like yeah, someone could make a thread about BF6 but why? It's going to be the exact same shit as the last one and have the same issues because people have been through that specific AAA game cycle at least a dozen times now. What's there to talk about, really?

>>1635767 >Implying Battlefield 6 is worthy of its own thread That's like saying Call of Duty is worthy of having its own thread. You can make it if you want, but most people here don't give a shit about these types of games.

Might be a good idea to post this now

>>1636263 Looks like we're doing better all things considered

>>1636394 It's a upward trend no matter how you look at it, you guys need to stop being so pessimistic about everything Don't ask me about what happened in hour 20

>>1636263 >>1636416 It's mostly the festering gachanigger threads, this is like celebrating your weight loss when it was cancer that caused it.

>>1636434 Yeah, you're never going to be happy about anything anyway

>>1636437 Not about the mentally ill who think lining chink shareholder pockets to play bingo with anime girl jpegs is fun, no.

>>1636437 You're a gachafag aren't you lmao I never understood why people care about high PPH, go to 4meme if you want that. That said, despite what anon said, the PPH is still a lot higher across the entire board barring GG than it was before the refugee crisis.

>>1636416 >you guys need to stop being so pessimistic about everything I agree, especially on OG 8chan where we had more people than any of us thought.

>>1635767 >You haven't even had one thread on BF6 yet for example We don't play or care about those games, though.

>>1654225 >ctrl+F Wplace instead. From what I see it's a mix between bitching at deltarune, looking for BA art, and bitching at Wplace mods for removing BA art, oh and an anon who wants to Ibuki-post on Wplace. It's not 100% off-topic.

>>1654239 >>1654128 And they're already back at talking about the game anyway I think, so what is this all about?

>>1654128 People actually read the post there instead of jerking off to the pics of the characters?

>>1659449 Nah, because the situation isn't ongoing and has already past the 500 mark. If it's not up by January then I'll cycle it again otherwise I'll remake it in January.

I've noticed that the touhou threads are no longer being archived. Actually did they get moved back to /v/? I'm confused.

>>1670244 does your device not have copy, paste, and text editing capabilities? https://8chan.se/archives.js?boards=v >confused that must happen a lot

>>1670366 I wasn't sure whether that was the same thing. That's not the archive I am talking about though. Again.

>>1670063 The older threads aren't on the catalog anymore but you can access them in their archived state here if you know the post numbers. Here's some: Touhou Thread: Good Things Come In Threes Edition >>1586080 Touhou Thread: Suspiciously Tanned Tomboyish Fairy Edition >>1555779 Touhou Thread: Springtime Redux >>1493257 Touhou Thread: Hata no Kokoro Edition >>1405262 Touhou Thread: Springtime Edition >>1304699 Touhou Thread: Seiga! >>1250087

>>1670736 Not the original anon that asked, but thanks for taking the time to get the numbers for all of those threads. Also, it's a slower method, but if you don't have the post numbers you can go to the OP of the current Touhou thread, which should have an archive link (hosted by archive.today) of the previous thread. That archived thread should have an archive that links to the one before that, and so on and so forth.

>>1670736 Thanks for linking. Ok, that does work. A pain to find though. >>1670946 Thanks for explaining. I simply got confused because as I've mentioned, they used to be moved into /vault/ and I remember some of the threads that are archived here being move there too, but now they are back here. And I was rarely here due to the constant outtages and .moe's constant downtime.

Mark explain why you banned me for a week for "CIA" I dont have any fucking idea what that means Literally the most inexplicable ban I've received in all my time on imageboards since 2006 I'm not even mad, its quite funny to be honest, but I want to know what the fuck was going through your low IQ jew brain when you typed that thinking you were owning me lmfao

>>1672481 He's just being a big guy for you.

>>1672481 Sorry, I thought you were lucy.

>>1672588 I am too far disconnected from this place to know what that means also. Took too long of a break. Have this nice picture of a cat in a toilet as a peace offering

Niggerpill is running wild in the GG thread and I'm far too sick to marshal the concentration to report every single one.

>>1679158 I stopped reporting anything entirely because a nigger vol banned me globally for reporting either Willy, Luciano, or some form of cuckchannery.

>>1679158 Sorry, just woke up. Took care of it and cleaned up a few posts giving him unironic attention, let me know if I missed anything.

>>640607 >>640607 Hey, is it possible to add tiny character icons based on one's id color in the /bag/ general? Saw that feature in some generals on /gacha/ and just wanted to ask if that's feasible.

<<1685711 That's a funny joke anon. I'm sure people will definitely not switch their IP a gorillion times because they got Sonic the Hedgehog ID color instead of Gordon Freeman ID color.

>>1685711 yeah there's one way to do it. it's called making your own board

Come to think of it, won't the CP spammer fuck off to that board to if they leave?

>>1685711 I think you will just have to make your own js script and share it with the rest of the /bag/gots.

>>1685711 You'd need to convince Mark to add the same script they used in /gacha/ and maintain it over time. Might also need pic related.

>>1685711 I don't think it's a good idea to muck about with board code for the sake of a single thread

>>1685711 It looks fun on the surface but it introduces new ways to shit up the thread so I'm against it

>>1685711 I got made fun of on /gfg/ for getting a fem protag icon so fuck off it's a bad idea

>>1685926 lmao that's funny you're a bitch for feeling bad about such an innocent joke tho

>>1685711 I'm not against the idea

>>1685711 Have you tried just moving to /gacha/?

>>1686043 It was funny at the time since the icon thing was new, but it got old real quick and devolved to avatarfagging in no time Good luck trying to convince other baggots implement it, it they wanted it they would've moved to /gacha/ long ago

>>1686062 nah its fine, there was not much interest so. i still think it would be an extremely fun feature and any potential downsides are miniscule but i can live without it. i simply asked if the idea is feasible but it's funny how many anons got butthurt about it. it's all good in the end.

>>1686059 >>1685926 >>1686043 >>1685909 >>1685711 btw forgot to mention i genuinely do not appreciate your existence and from the bottom of my heart do not enjoy seeing you and your ilk outside of your designated shitting area thank you

>>1686100 You don't need to announce it, people can tell that you are a massive faggot from miles away just from the way that you type

>>1686100 Being able to piss some one off just by existing brings genuine joy to my heart Thank you for the self report

>>1686104 >>1686107 ur welcum

>>1686100 2bad, the /bag/ stays.

Also if we're doing images for the IDs, then I'd like it make it a bit more generalized rather than just being exclusive to a specific game. For example: Red = Mario, Blue = Sonic, Yellow = Pikachu, Crimson = Dante, etc.

>>1686130 /bag/ be like

>>1686333 Goblins are hermaphrodites and have penises!

>>1685711 That sounds like it's probably possible and maybe with pure CSS even but I'm not sure how to go about it. >>1685915 It's likely not too heavy weight.

>>1685839 More like it'll just spawn a new wave of giving pseudonyms to every poster that disagrees with you.

>>1686130 >>1686139 Mark, if you're up, can you make it official if we're cuckchan 2.0 or not? Because the thread and post quality have rapidly gone down here just like in April and this time they aren't getting removed.

>>1686435 I'd argue cuckchan 2.0 is whatever futaba imageboard site has the second-largest userbase, and at this point i think that might be soyjack party. It's like that old anthony burch meme, at least we're not soyjack party.

>>1686435 When your PPH tank bad posters occupy more space. Ironically when cuckchan was down the post quality was about as good as it could get since all the schizophrenic retards that shit up this board were completely drowned out.

>>1686107 Gookfags acting like wokeniggers is ultimately why anyone unironically into jp media ends up hating gookslop and their fans.

>>1686469 This whole sentence reeks of schizophrenia Are you going to at least elaborate or are you just here to retard post in /meta/

>>1686342 CSS dosesn't do random assignments

>>1686435 Thread quality is fine.

>>1686525 Technically speaking the ID color would be the thing already doing the randomization and the CSS would be just pulling from that.

>>1686107 Haruka is literally me

>>1654128 redditors rights are also your rights sirs :)

>>1686100 Just filter and ignore things you dont like life is not that hard broski.

Same time next week?

>>1686593 It's really not. Threads are full of schizo retards like the one you are replying to who accuse other people of being cuckchanners and then half the thread becomes oldfags accusing other oldfags of being cuckchanners despite the fact that most if not all of them left aside from gachaniggers

>>1687198 So stop participating in threads that piss you off? You out yourself as being a massive retard in your own post that you linked btw because you're too much of a sperg to even realize that it wasn't a vol that banned you and you went straight to blaming muh cuckchan vols. Again, you're a retard, kill yourself.

>>1687243 >No That's fine, keep getting assblasted daily over nothing. Btw, skipping over the fact that you're a fat sperg who is too stupid to read and realize that a vol didn't ban you doesn't change that fact. Just pointing it out again because you are trying to hide from it. Peak irony that despite probably being a le cuckchanner1!!! and you shitting your pants and blaming the vols, they were the one who helped you get your ban reversed. You want more proof that you're a retard? >>1627520 This post contradicts your point and supports mine. >>1567977 This post isn't complaining about cuckchanners, it's actually complaining about niggerpill/luciano. >>1573813 >>1659104 These have nothing to do with what is being discussed. >>1654568 Again, this is a Mark problem, what does this have to do with muh cuckchanners? You're a fat sperg who can't read a simple ban message btw. All you will do is complain and the only thing you will achieve is shitting on your own board quality.

>>1687277 >So anyways, keep being upset over your telltale mannerisms But the only one who obsesses over these mannerisms is you? Again, because you somehow have a worse attention span of a zoomer here are the two things I am pointing out 1) You're a retard who can't read 2) People like you who complain about muh cuckchanners outsite of the meta thread do nothing but bring down the quality of the thread 3) Stop participating in things that make you mad Also good job not being able to form a single argument against my post which points out how YOU CAN'T READ or comprehend posts that you link to support your claims.

>>1687243 >had to edit the shitty E33 OP I linked to actually have a title Is that why it said "edited by Mark" the first time? Did the OP really not put a title? >and a more extensive description Which is appreciated, but not really ideal, especially since it was copy pasted from one of the replies. Speaking of, would it be uncouth for someone to make a fresh thread with a little more effort put into it, then merge the first one into the second one? Or is it too late at this point?

>>1687350 >You don't fit in. I don't care about fitting in under your standards that you can't define properly. >this twit want to start up the same template And this ESL wants to talk about coherent English. You're trying too hard ESL-kun. Is your insecurity the source of all this angst and the reason why you seethe and try to police the board?

>>1687379 Still no argument, Mr ESL :^)?

>>1687456 All those words and there's no argument to be found LOL

>>1687456 what are you proud of contributing to the website?

>>1687486 He's proud of going into random threads and complaining about cuckchanners and announcing sage. I know because I was in the thread and saw the same autistic posting style before he deleted and posted his post, just like he did in this one. >>1687005 Quality poster, btw. His original post before he deleted it, of course complained about muh cuckchann11!!!!!111

>>1687541 that was actually a genuine question thanks for the answer, though

>>1687541 >I'm not a schizo but everyone that disagrees with me is the same person LOL >>1687553 >Doubling down and admitting it is your own garbage post that goes against the rules LOL LOL Here's another MUH CUCKCHAN phrase for you, but I'm sure you know it because despite hating the site so much, you have an entire dictionary of words you think originates from there that triggers you: I accept your concession :^)

>>1687601 >Refugee gets invited in >Spreads trash around >Shits on the native inhabitants It really is universal, isn't it?

As a rapefugee I can assure you that we hate this guy >>1687601 as much as you do.

Sneed harder

>STOP POSTING LIKE THAT!!!! >YOU MUST POST LIKE MEEEEEEE Lol

>>1687764 >Spreads trash around >Shits on the native inhabitants Point me to a trash post I made outside of meta. You're free to guess and I will admit to it if you catch it. You accuse me of doing exactly this, except your fellow native admitted to posting rubbish like >>1687005 FYI, I don't hate the people here. I hate niggers like the people I reply to who contribute nothing except the derailment of the threads. I don't care if you've been here since the start of the board, if you act like a faggot you're a faggot. >>1687768 Yes Mr (1) (((WE))) all hate this frfr no cap on god

All this posting isn't going to change these three facts: >gachaniggers are a large mass of low impulse control brown cattle and all of them should be put into a ghetto, out of public sight and shouldn't be allowed in >cuckchanners are also a large mass of low iq, low impulse control brown cattle and take it up the ass everyday, just like moot >mark is a nigger and a faggot who's sole reason to house these groups without vetting is to make the pph go up and make himself feel good about his only achievement in life There, now fuck off

Okay, maybe that was a bit too harsh on Mark but the rest stands.

>>1687878 >Yes Mr (1) (((WE))) all hate this Yes. I don't understand why you moved here if you're just going to make the same type of low quality posts that made 4chan intolerable. >Point me to a trash post You made half the posts in the Fire Emblem thread, including many in which you replied to yourself >>1575402 >>1590538 >>1590631 >>1590822

>>1687954 Nope. Never played a single fire emblem game. So really what this all boils down to like the other faggot I was replying to is this: cuckchan to you miserable lot just means any post that you don't like. Since it seems that the mods seem to be able to tell whether someone is samefagging, I'm more than happy for anyone of them to call me out if I did post in that thread.

FYI, after scrolling through that thread more the funny thing is I agree with you. Posters like that are extremely low quality and I'm not even sure why the mods didn't just ban the person and let someone else make a new thread. Similarly, was there any complaint on this meta thread regarding the issue? If there was, then is it a cuckchan issue, or a moderation issue? If there wasn't, then how about instead of shitting your pants and screaming about the cuckchan boogeyman and achieve nothing but derail the thread further, why not properly articulate your concern in this thread?

Why'd vols spoiler this: >>1685644 Same image here is not spoilered: >>1685659 It's the amount of skin you'd see on a beach. (pic-related as an example from some tabloid) Don't hide content to cater to bitches, because that shit never ends. Already saw vols spoiler scantily-clad loli in the previous thread: >>>/ais/13786 This time it isn't even loli getting spoilered. Where does Mark find these vols?

>>1687966 >cuckchan to you miserable lot just means any post that you don't like. Exactly. It's the same thing as when people call something "toxic", it doesnt mean anything except I personally disagree or was offended

>>1686130 >>1679305 Please respond >>1688037

>>1688044 gay

>>1688037 I don't remember spoiling that one myself but I do remember seeing a report asking to spoiler one of them but not for the other post, so that's your answer for "why that one but not this one"

>>1688044 >>1688077 >>1688121 Now they're both spoilered. Shit sucks. Glass the homos.

mark nuked the posts lol

Delete mine too honestly, no point in having it up if the other guy got shot

>>1686139 >red >crimson arent those the same thing

>>1688279 I think the other guy got shot like that because he was a ban evader so maybe that's why your posts are still there, but I don't know

>>1688367 I took a look at the mod logs and yeah it seems like that is the case. It's just that I mirrored the way he acts so I typed like a tard too just to piss him off. Either way I suppose it's not a big deal.

So even with all the naughty bits covered, showing as much skin as the sunbather example >>1688037 Vivian James is still TOO HOT FOR /v/ and got spoilered by vols twice at the behest of whiny sodomites reporting content that shows ZERO nipples, pussy or asshole, >>1685644 >>1685659 Avert your eyes lest the notoriously sexy redhead gets you fired from your workplace (where you should totally be browsing image boards).

>>1688469 I'm pulling out my ads

>>1688942 this is what you're proud of?

>>1688992 hi mark

>>1688942 >first pic Yeah, cuckchan shitters love to imitate anything thrown at them like a retarded parrot. From newfag accusations, to calling everyone ESL, to thinking ">(1)" is a downvote. >/bag/ I hated it before and I still hate it now. Same as the gacha thread.

Hi, I started the Blue Archive "general" threads here, and, I suppose, coveted the thread's allowance into /v/'s "culture" such as it were. The first thread I made was about a year or more ago, though I can't remember exactly. I wasn't the guy who posted raid tips and clips, though I learned a great deal from him and am glad I gave him a platform of sorts to speak about it. I initially made it since GBF had a general thread which was maintained even back before 8chan got taken down. I know there was, and still rightfully is, a negative attitude towards gacha, but I felt Blue Archive was an outlier of sorts and always provided good content. It was much like Kancolle back in the early 2010's or Touhou back in the 00's in that it provided much content for comikets and would invariably end up contributing to imageboard culture, one way or another. I try not to use this argument, but it is also true that if GBF deserves a thread, so too should Blue Archive. With that said, I think it's appropriate to argue in terms of the present. Presently, I don't think the Blue Archive threads need to change anything. They contribute lots of good posters who follow, inadvertently or not, what one here would consider the "imageboard liberty" maxims. They love loli, they spoiler posts with lewds, and they don't stray too far in conversation in their own threads unlike some other generals in the past. They are clean, make scripts for dealing with the schizo autists, and they contribute many vols available around the clock to clean up the spam and other shit which nobody likes - stuff that is easy to distinguish. Why must they be moved to another board? They have more than earned their keep here, I say. They are really what I would consider the model cuckchan immigrants.

>>1689080 I agree, they're a good batch of kids.

>>1689080 >Hi, I started the Blue Archive "general" threads he- Nigger >what one here would consider the "imageboard liberty" maxims >They love loli Doesn't mean jack, it's the free speech up to and including it that's actually important. >they spoiler posts with lewds That's not a maxim of anything, just basic manners. >they contribute many vols available around the clock to clean up the spam and other shit which nobody likes - stuff that is easy to distinguish Yeah, that's what the board needed. Newfag hotpockets who play mobileshit and play defense for any cuckchan faggotry except for straight-up spam.

>>1689162 >one must only act in the manner I find most pious or be extricated post-haste are you sure you're in the right place? don't you have a subforum somewhere to run into the ground or did everyone already leave?

>>1689183 Notorious inclusive imageboard that dogmatically opposes gatekeeping, /v/.

YOU MUST POST IN THE WAY I PERSONALLY APPROVE!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>1689184 kek

>>1689184 it's a shame that only works if there's something behind the gate worth bothering for surely anon's high quality contributions are calling the lads in in droves

>>1689200 You mean like how surprised the April rapefugees were about a board that wasn't shit?

>>1689218 >existence relies on refugee crises thanks

>>1689200 Whether or not it works is irrelevant to whether or not it's the culture of the board, ESL-kun.

>>1689223 admitting self-destruction is the goal sure is a way to try to get a win tell ya what

>>1689231 When rapefugees like yourself admit that they only want to shit up the board, it's only natural to keep them out.

>>1689080 What seems to irk people, to the point that some that some think the threads should be on some other board, is how the anons in the Blue Archive threads act like they are on halfchan. The short, low quality, text message like posts. How 7 out of every 10 posts is porn or some other kind of fetish material. How activity is high and threads reach the bump limit fast but there really isn't anything substantial or meaningful coming from any of the threads. Yes, it's good that they follow the rules, support "imageboard liberties", keep to themselves, and take measures to deal with spammers/autists. But for many 8moe anons, seeing /bag/ is like seeing a slice of halfchan on their board, and of course nobody is really going to like that. The anons in /bag/ don't seem to want to fully adopt 8moe culture, and why would they? They have their own personal, protected, halfchan diaspora where they can proceed with things as they always have. They're having fun, surrounded by people like them and no one else. It was even worse during the refugee surge a few months ago, because long-standing threads were getting bumped down, and eventually off, partially due to how many /bag/ threads were being made in such a short period of time. Of course, there were other generals to blame, but /bag/ was a popular one. That being said, personally, I don't think /bag/ has done anything to warrant it being transplanted to another board for two main reasons: the anons don't really mess with any other threads, and if GBF is grandfathered in then Blue Archive should be too for the sake of fairness. However, /bag/ is also such an independent group that they could be moved and would likely lose a minimal amount of anons in the process. Besides help with moderation, they don't seem to feel connected to, nor rely on 8moe /v/.

>>1689492 just thought it was funny to make him do the little dance to prove it

i wish the mecha thread was more active

>>1689502 Daemon X Machina 2 is coming out next week, so hopefully there should be more to discuss.

>>1689434 Most people don't remember how it felt to post in a high activity thread. But don't pretend like 8chanons always behave in the same manner at all times. The post length and "quality" of /bag/ threads is the exact same as the stream thread cyclicals that 8chan has always had when a big event - like E3, Game Awards, Nintendo Directs, et al. - gets a thread made for it. When a lot is happening and a lot of people are present, discussion doesn't always result in huge paragraphs. Not like BA has much to discuss at all times anyways. But that's not to say intelligent discussion never happens there The important part is that it is allowed to happen and fluorish.

>>1689565 >But don't pretend like 8chanons always behave in the same manner at all times. I'm not. The way the average 8moe anon writes his replies does change depending on the situation. >the stream thread cyclicals that 8chan has always had when a big event - like E3, Game Awards, Nintendo Directs, et al. This is indeed an example of one of those situations. Replies are shorter, and it is rarer to see someone write a paragraph about something. But in this case, writing shorter messages makes sense, because a live even is happening and anons want to share their thoughts as soon as possible. In /bag/, short messages are commonplace no matter what because that is how anons write on halfchan. You have to be fast, because threads can be bumplocked in a day. You have to post porn to get people's attention and get that rush of dopamine that comes from getting (You)'s. Actual discussions do happen, yes, but it is not the norm because it is not the norm on halfchan. Just take a look here >>1619780 , this was the cyclical thread for the Gamescom opening live events. Short messages galore, yes, but there is still a clear difference between what you see here and what you see on /bag/. >The important part is that it is allowed to happen and fluorish. I know I wasn't advocating for discussion in /bag/ to be stopped. I was just explaining why a number of 8moe anons have such a distaste for /bag/ even though a Blue Archive thread has been in the catalog of /v/ for a while.

Why do they roll the dice? It's rare to see that used, but they're all-too-happy to use it.

>>1689850 You give gacha players a random number generator, and then you also give them the ability to attach the name of an anime girl right next to the results of said random number generator

PPH between 11PM EST and 12PM EST was 138. 120 posts were made in the /bag/ thread during this same timeframe. That's 87% of the PPH being taken up by gachaniggers. The quality of posts in their threads is abysmal, go see for yourself. It must be on par with cuckchan's lowest quality threads, which is coincidentally where they came from. >>1689123 You sold the board's standards to a bunch of cuckchan gook pachinko addicts. And it's no wonder given you're a Christ-denying kike. You all trusted a kike to rule over you and in comical stereotypical fashion he allowed the lowest form of rapefugee immigrant to outnumber you.

>retard is pulling the "piracy hurts sales because every pirated copy is a lost sale" logic >still refusing to accept that /bag/ existed before the cuckchan rapefugee crisis began <which is why they got to stay on /v/ in the first place

>>1690041 >taken up you talk like it's a zero sum game.

>>1690041 >120 posts were made in the /bag/ thread during this same timeframe. No wonder I have to hide a new /bag/ thread every time I load /v/'s index.

>>1690083 >retard is pulling the "piracy hurts sales because every pirated copy is a lost sale" logic I love when someone brings up that they bought the game legally, and chose to make a backup to emulate, and the response is usually "YOU MADE AN ILLEGITIMATE COPY, SO YOU NEED TO BUY 2 COPIES TO OFFSET IF YOU FUCKING THIEF" Kids these days.

>>1690041 >That's 87% of the PPH being taken up by gachaniggers. You're right, but pragmatically I don't see a reason to care. They're well contained in their own space, they're respectful to the outside and, at the end of the day, if your issue is PPH, you need to either be posting more yourself, or you need to bring in more people that want to post often, bearing in mind that quality posting will always have lower PPH. It's even to our own indirect advantage that this keeps /v/ as a top board here for newfags to more easily find it if they do stumble in this old decrepit relic of the past.

>>1690223 >taken up such a silly notion it's a wonder mark didn't take the opportunity to purge them and the baby back bitch made whining during the influx kinda wild to see an imageboard have a gaggle of HOA karens crying to the city council because another thread gets too much mail

>>1690041 You sound like a butthurt faggot. I'm gonna laugh at you for it.

I had a dream that suddenly there was a million /bag/ OPs being spammed by some schizo with dumb names like bananagana archive, batman archive, banshee archive, you get the picture. I am going to use this to say that blue archive general has violated me when I am most vulernable and I do not like that.

>>1690348 Can't handle the cunny.

>>1690348 Blue archive threads dealt with spam for years by one singaporean lunatic, the same one who is spamming this board from the first day they settled here till this day, according to the logs.

>>1690360 Personally I like to believe it's because the thread's very existence is an affront to sanity and vidya itself but sure, the lolis are what make it annoying on a site that specifically exists in support of posting loli, that makes a lot of sense.

>>1690540 That's not only a lie but also completely ignores my point. You wouldn't happen to be a retard, would you?

>>1690556 He posted ai, which is completely shunned in bag, so he's definitely a retard

>>1690540 You know I actually had a question for you, and I promise it's not some sort of gotcha. Would (You) prefer if /bag/ was not contained to just their general, but instead posted in all the other threads, not to contribute to the discussion, but just to post about their favorite student? In that this would keep the mods busy as they would have to constantly moderate them. >>1690556 That's most likely just LCP.

>>1690360 BA has like 3 actual lolis because gooks are cucks lol.

>>1690572 >. Would (You) prefer if /bag/ was not contained to just their general, but instead posted in all the other threads, not to contribute to the discussion, but just to post about their favorite student? Yes because that would actually get their asses kicked to /gacha/. And frankly they are not that far off from doing that anyway.

>>1690863 >I would prefer it if the community starts blatantly breaking the rules and take a dump on our board Holy shit lmao

>>1690348 Soul violation is not listed in the rules

As far as I can tell, most of the baggots don't post anywhere else on the board, but they have their own defence force that comes out in this thread anytime anybody spergs about them.

>>1691181 How dare you? /bag/ is our greatest ally!

The fact that this thread has been constantly bumped to the top by some retarded pissing contest instead of people talking about videogames makes me quite mad, vidya lounge has seen only a small percentage of activity compared to the meta thread, even just today there were more than double posts than over the weekend (30 vs 14) There are several threads that can use lifeblood and its being spilled into sand

>>1691270 I would post some more but I'm to busy being angry and also at work

>>1691270 You're right but you also have to understand Gachaniggers are niggers and I don't like them

>>1691270 /v/ doesn't talk about games

>>1691699 all modern /v/ do is charge they switch, be faggots, sit in chair, eat dorito & mt dew and lie

>>1692757 Thank you for not saying "eat hot chip," I have a very sensitive digestive system and the insinuation that someone like myself would indulge in such dietary acts of disregard really would have sat poorly in my conscience. Also completely anecdotally, and less/more? faggoty - I have a switch and haven't played the thing since like 2017 when I bought Okami on the Nintendo Store. I'm moving stuff around right now and no joke, the thing has sat in the same spot untouched for the past three years straight. Does it say more about Nintendo or more about me that somehow that thing appreciated in price over the last year?

>>1690223 Gachafags are retarded but one thread on this board from them doesn't make a difference. The real issue is that this board has never been more dead than it is right now when you exclude those threads. /v/ easily had at least x5 the activity in the first two years of this site being online, and that's before a single cuckchan retard even knew this place existed. Ironically the cuckchan infestation somehow made the board's PPH from regular anon's fucking plummet and now it's like a ghost town.

>>1693209 Because that's LCP

>>1692939 I agree that this is an issue, but I don't blame the gacha hobos. If anything, I'm just sorely disappointed that the cuckchan niggers all really went back after all of that happened, but the servers here shitting themselves even far after the rapefugees were gone and the constant DDOS doesn't help for activity at all. Other than that, I talk for myself, but I have to concede that even I got tired of going on /gg/ to go off-topic about whatever crazy pseudo-philosophical shit flinging was going on at that moment, and it's been months since I've seen an interesting thread pop up, so I guess more anons are feeling the same way with the way activity is dying down. No clue how to solve that. I don't know. I'm probably getting old.

>>1693383 I don't understand why anons posting to /bag/ is a problem. It's not like they're somehow stealing posters from other threads. Nor do I think they are somehow driving other posters away from other threads just by virtue of being here.

>>1693220 Honestly I don't know if "feeding the troll" like that is a good idea, dude's just mad that he can't post his democrat propaganda in here, he knows that it's retarded and he's trying to skirt around saying that outright

>>1693446 It's not just Mark, you can go on /site/ and find the same information, he's on the global banlist for a reason It gets deleted pretty fast nowdays, but if you saw one of his more obvious posts for yourself you'd see that's really just his main motive

what about really long posts from the gacha favela?

>>1693446 >>1693451 Assuming it's one person, and not multiple people masquerading as him just to shitpost as in, even I could, pretend to be niggerpill, by posting the same images as he does and spout shit about Japan, I had a small interaction with him, when the Mika futa, scat and gore poster was running out of control. He said that the spammer was overall a good thing, as it kept mods busy, so his type of people wouldn't get banned as easily, for they would hide through the gaps in the spam. I interpret it this way, and LCP is free to correct me if I am wrong. Assuming he is honest, he might see the old 8chan as some sort of restaurant, where people talked about all sorts of subjects, but now Mark is in charge, and he bans things that LCP thought were considered to be ok in the past, and now allows things that in the past weren't allowed, such as the e-celeb thread. He still wants to go to the restaurant to talk about certain things, even though he gets thrown out every time. Assume now, that he is at a table with other anons, and some niggers pour in, jump on the table, start twerking, pissing and shitting all over the place. Most anons would be disgusted by it, but he would say that this is a problem, that only janitors have to deal with, not him, plus now that the owner is busy with the niggers, he can talk loudly about what he wants to talk about, without fear of getting kicked out. An anon might reply, that the tables and chairs shouldn't be covered in piss and shit, but he will retort that if you have a problem with that then you are not high IQ enough to engage with him. Also that hte niggers act as some sort of community moderation, and if you have a problem with other people at another table are talking about, instead of asking Mark to kick them out, it's better to jump on their table and piss all over them. This is why I asked him if he would be more ok with /bag/ going out of their containment thread and start posting spamming other threads, just to keep the moderators busy, and him under their radar.

>>1693536 >Was the rule which permits it recently added? During the time of 8chan Prime, the rule was that such threads would always get deleted, but right about when this iteration of 8chan came the rule got changed to it being allowed to one single general, or if it was breaking news(I guess the Stop Killing Games thread was kinda like that, since it was hard to separate it from 2 particular e-celebs), so you could say the rule to allow e-celeb threads in some form is as old as this site. I should also mention that there was at least one, maybe even two, other e-celeb thread in this board's history.

Is every post getting deleted to convince people to post in other threads too

It's at the point where anytime I see the meta thread active I know it's going to gacha bitching, both from the earlier mentioned Gacha Defense Force and from anons who are terribly upset /bag/ exists. >>1693417 To provide an actual answer, as the gachaposters seem bewildered as to why native 8anons hate them, it's because 1): they're outsiders, 2): gacha is seen as The Worst Thing Ever, and 3:) they post like they're on a Discord, something antithetical to imageboards. It's the usual "native-immigrant culture clash" tale and genuinely no deeper.

>all this sudden autism about a gachashit thread that largely stays in its containment Who gives a shit?

>>1693788 I would like to highlight an additional reason for the annoyance, in that /bag/ being tolerated goes against the de facto standard of effortposting which has been used as a standard for the site's existence. If they at least talked about the game as often as they spam "uuooohh student headpats 😭" and literally just saying good morning like a bunch of Indians in a group chat it'd be easier to tolerate when actual videogame discussion gets caught in the crossfire elsewhere (which shouldn't happen anyway).

>>1693884 >wanting to police a hazard zone that you should not and would not visit >especially when the idiots in it are happily eating the slop y tho

>>1693847 New tactic by the same people spamming cp, gore, and feces in the /bag/ threads

>>1694143 I definitely suspected that the faggot(s) suddenly bitching about /bag/ in this thread are the same niggers that have been spamming CP and NIGGERed all over the board to get rid of /bag/, good to know I'm not the only one that thinks this. I do not even browse /bag/.

>read through some of these posts Would it be wrong of me to claim the current thread of argument frivolous? There was something there, but either another point to complain about /bag/ should be found, or perhaps let meta rest?

Such a way with words. Like a washing machine with the lid off, suddenly providing a sock, then shirt. And there's the underwear! And another! What next? To provide actual substance to the thread, I'm pretty sure that >>1694143 >>1694266 is correct. Sorry for the rest of /v/ that has to bear witness to such immaculate dialog.

>>1694143 Didn't /bag/ posters themselves say that's a specific guy they inadvertently brought over when they migrated? >>1694499 I don't know what the guy having a lowercase conniption fit is even trying to get at, he blew a fucking gasket or something.

>>1693414 >No clue how to solve that. It feels retarded to even talk about "solving" the board being dead this far in because the people in charge simply never made any effort to begin with. Plenty of anon's posed ideas and suggestions and they were all ignored for years. Mark sperged out at Acid/Codexx recently but he's also just done basically nothing for the board besides obsessively banning people in his pet off-topic thread and ramble about wanting a cushy job as a social media manager, while refusing to do any social media outreach for his dying board. Then Acid gaslit anon's for years about the activity metrics, which plenty retards believed up until it become so obvious the site was dead that Acid and Codexx halted all development and stopped posting meaningful updates all together. Acid literally banned me at some point for pointing out that the english speaking /v/ activity was obviously lower than it has been while he was pretending that the spic numbers meant the site was booming. Yes theoretically individual anon's could go on grassroots campaigns to bring activity here. But in reality people don't work like that. Anon's are an aging demographic and no one has the time or energy to do free labor for a board and site ran by people that have obviously checked out and just spend their days doing spaz grade ding dong bannu's over mild criticism.

>>1694723 No. He basically just complained that they weren't developing the sites code at all right after they just rushed to do a shitload of development during the cuckchan infestation, which was extremely ironic and retarded. But if he'd made that complaint a month earlier it would have been accurate. Either way the sites feature set is mostly fine and not the reason the activity is low. So it's the pot calling the kettle black.

>>1694752 Man you deserve to have your posts deleted for writing like some third world street shitter. Fucking kill yourself.

>>1694739 I think it was all contributions from gachafags and vtuberfags for what it's worth the "long time" users have had years to do anything with this place but they've spent their time hard speccing into whining instead it's not like they're going to change that now

>>1694266 I like the /bag/ anons. Also any /bag/ anons please rate my gob BA halo that I custom made for the above edit. I spent literal MINUTES carefully crafting it. I know nothing about what the halo shapes actually mean. For all I know I accidentally called everyone a niggerfaggot with my design. Sorry.

>>1694819 >I like the /bag/ anons kill yourself tbh

>>1694847 >>1694851 Pretty sure he's talking about coding/script contributions made by all the cuckchan refugees.

>>1694905 >can't find ctrl-f >can't find commit log a blind man can't tell much

What the fuck is even happening here?

>>1694819 I'm definitely not an expert on halo design, but they typically have some amount of symbolism in them. There's also those that look like a crosshair. I'd say you did a fine enough job, it makes me think that whoever has this halo knows a thing or two about aircraft. <the most recent 12 posts

>>1695133 hello

>>1695057 gayops, just ignore this thread unless something breaks.

>>1694739 >He basically just complained that they weren't developing the sites code at all They didn't develop it for like a year until 4chan died, Granted I'd like to believe it was because of real life issues, but the fact that this site was literally dead for a year and that no developments were being made AT ALL is unacceptable. Especially when I've been busting my balls for a year and trying to maintain this place by myself while constantly being hounded by bad actors. That's just the fact of the matter.

>>1694710 >It feels retarded to even talk about "solving" the board being dead this far in because the people in charge simply never made any effort to begin with. You mean like going onto FOSS communities and begging them to advertise for us? Yeah, that idea is fucking retarded, especially when you realize that most normalfags are terrified of the 8chan brand. It worked well for the first few years, but we've hit the limit of what can be acomplished with it. It took literally 4chan dying for people to find out about us since we've been filtered by both big tech and niche FOSS communities. Literally no one would promote us because of the 8chan branding, and they still won't. Either way FOSS is unsustainable and this site is a good example of that.

>>1695201 foss communities are always complete and utter faggots no exceptions and nothing lost what you want are the slice of people that are young enough to not have a clue, have enough free time to have hobbies and post on imageboards without being complete neet spergelords, and want something different from the big tech offerings you would have better luck advertising on pirate sites or writing it on walls in college bathrooms

>>1695201 The site is more dead now after 4chan learning about it than it was during the first 2 years of it spawning out of thin air. So not only is getting new users a problem, but user retention has been terrible. Because nothing goes on. Mark doesn't organize anything, he doesn't work with people to make funny videos about game nights and post them places, he doesn't advertise happenings on his twitter or whatever the fuck he uses. >Literally no one would promote us because of the 8chan branding, and they still won't. Codexx literally got some big jewtuber vtuber to go on the site and look at shit-posts, so it's clearly possible. Not that I even particularly care about that kind of exposure or think it's all that productive. But it simply doesn't really matter all that much whether or not the sites "brand" is caustic or not. It's the same concept as e-celebs getting "cancelled". If you just ignore it and keep posting everything gets completely memory holed and people stop caring in a week. 8chan is spooky and scary because the first time they hear about it they also hear about its controversies, which is the exact same reputation 4chan was born out of. If you simply keep existing in the cultural consciousness that sort of things pitters out really quickly as people gain familiarity with the place. It doesn't matter if the site is as bad as anyone says it is just like it doesn't matter if e-celebs did whatever they get accused of. People just stop caring and keep watching or participating in something as long as it feels interesting or brings them some sort of utility. Reputation is a meme in the modern internet.

>>1695235 Yes, that is true. Either way while I do appreciate this board, the admins and its users, I do need to sustain myself eventually. It's why I'm planning to move on from 8chan and give the board to one of my volunteers once I find somewhere to move on to. >>1695246 >The site is more dead now after 4chan learning about it than it was during the first 2 years of it spawning out of thin air. Bullshit, our PPH and userbase has never been better as seen here >>1636263, you denied the data here >>1650321 because they weren't real anons waah, besides you're leaving out the fact that Codexx got Kiki AFTER 4chan came on and made a vtuber board here. I've sent many invitations for AMAs and such even post the THQNordic AMA and I've either been declined or ghosted on the subject. The only dev I've got since then was Boen and even then that was because he was already canceled on twitter because of his ex-GF.

>>1695267 It's the same reason I ban Josh when he's not making his game and avatar fagging in other threads. It's because I want you and your goons to get the fuck out.

>>1695264 >Bullshit, our PPH and userbase has never been better Oh I see, you're pretending to be retarded. >I've sent many invitations for AMAs and such even post the THQNordic AMA and I've either been declined or ghosted on the subject Oh you're Mark, so not pretending then. There's a zero percent chance that you as the literal board owner haven't seen that activity outside of niche refugee threads hasn't obviously fallen off a cliff. So what do you think you're accomplishing by being misleading? >besides you're leaving out the fact that Codexx got Kiki AFTER 4chan came on and made a vtuber board here I don't know how that's relevant to anything I said but okay. It's cool that you've tried to reach out to developers but there are infinitely more productive ways to get the board attention. Either way none of this has anything to do with the activity metrics of the board that for whatever reason you feel like compulsively lying about. Not a single anon at this point besides you unironically thinks that /v/ is more active today than it has been in the past during the lifecycle of 8moe. It's fine that you've checked out, I don't really hold it against you and you have a questionable mental fortitude for sticking around for as long as you have. But the boards activity is irrefutably low and playing this bizarre game where we all pretend like spics and gachafags count as organic normal anons that post about video games in a variety of threads is embarrassing.

>>1695295 >Oh I see, you're pretending to be retarded. Nice gaslighting attempt >I don't know how that's relevant to anything I said but okay. It's relevant because we didn't even HAVE a vtuber board before 4chan died, they stayed because they liked 8moe. The site was dying before than because development was stagnant and advertising had its limits. I've talked to Acid and Codexx about it time and time again and they refused my suggestions, which is why the site was on a breaking point. I was even planning on outright resigning before 4chan died and people suddenly started to promote us on Twitter. We've also been blacklisted heavily by google and youtube, just try uploading ANYTHING related to 8chan on youtube, you'd automatically get cockblocked.

>>1695304 >Mark is a "muh PPH" fag tragic Didn't you say awhile ago you'd let the newfags settle in before enforcing the old rules? You haven't done the second part yet.

>>1695304 I also want to note the heavy decline from 2022 to 2025, where our userbase was literally dying because of stagnation. People aren't making boards, there's no promotion nor tools to promote communities, and we can't get outsiders since no one is willing to promote us. 4chan dying was a blessing for activity, it brought over two new boards being /vyt/ and /gacha/. My point is that users don't have the tools to promote the website nor the communities within the site be it on 8chan or on the wider net. >>1695314 What "old rules"? I've been enforcing things as I did back in the day. Literally the only thing you have to do is stop repeating the same schizo mannierisms and I won't give a shit. It's the same with Josh. If you literally stop forcing console wars onto threads where they don't belong then I don't care.

>>1695326 >I don't care >5 minutes ago You care too much, not sure what you think those graphs will prove, or why you have to engage with this topic ad nauseum and drag boogeyman into this to begin with. You're struggling to feel in control, your behavior is a clear giveaway of this, don't you have anything better to do with your existence?

>>1695304 >It's relevant because we didn't even HAVE a vtuber board before 4chan died, they stayed because they liked 8moe. Okay? Yes, 4chan dying brought the site an opportunity for new users on a vtuber board. In another world that might mean /v/ would also get more activity, but it obviously hasn't. >The site was dying before than because development was stagnant Development being stagnant isn't great but ultimately the site is basically as functional as any imageboard ever has been. I can imagine and have suggested dozens of features it needs but none of them are a major factor in /v/'s activity situation. >advertising had its limits I mean, not really. The only limit for advertising is how well you can do it. >I've talked to Acid and Codexx about it time and time again and they refused my suggestions Assuming you're talking about advertisement, you know you don't need those retards permission to advertise your board, right? You can literally just go and do it. In fact, you don't even need those retards permission to advertise the entire site if you felt so inclined. Who gives a single fuck about what two dumbfucks that defended pedoniggers for a year think, they're somehow genuinely more retarded than you are. You're still a dumbass Mark, but I mean it sincerely when I say they are stupid as fuck and basically everything they say should be completely ignored especially when it comes to bringing activity to your board. >We've also been blacklisted heavily by google and youtube, just try uploading ANYTHING related to 8chan on youtube, you'd automatically get cockblocked. Interesting, though I question how accurate it is to say anything with the word 8chan in it is blocked on youtube. But you can get away with lot of twitter and twitter itself has become a multimedia platform rivaling youtube anyways. >Nice gaslighting attempt Mark I actually use the fucking board dude. I have dozen's of watched threads and I post in them every chance I get to engage with someone. The GG threads last like 8 times longer than they used to. The board is clearly way fucking slower than it used to be and posting PPH metrics isn't going to change that. >I also want to note the heavy decline from 2022 to 2025, where our userbase was literally dying because of stagnation. Lol, so you're just outright admitting I'm right and are just pretending like a single thread means the board has more activity than ever. So fucking ridiculous man, get real. >My point is that users don't have the tools to promote the website nor the communities within the site be it on 8chan or on the wider net. You don't need tools to paste a hyperlink. You just need to coordinate the creative effort of the people you have access to. I don't know why you're even engaging with this topic at this level of depth after years of anon's bitching about it. These are things that could have been discussed ages ago when the place had way more eyes on it. And now at the tail end as you talk about quitting as BO you start openly discussing it? Borderline offensive.

>>1695344 >Autistic Narcissism thread That's what meta threads have become. Loser on loser psychological cyber warfare.

>>1695246 >Mark doesn't organize anything Because he sucks at it. Remember the monthly game threads? The one that was "moderated" by Mark and some other faggot? The one that crash and burn because they choose the shittiest voting platform that anyone can rig? the one with the shit stirrer posting random walls of text? Yeah that one. https://archive.ph/fOSED https://archive.ph/WFOaa

all non-mainstream sites are dead or dying no amount of advertising will convince the average internet user to leave the centralized plattforms. it is the unfortunate truth that one simply has to enjoy what's still left at the margins, this is a fire that cannot be reinvigorated as long as those big sites keep using up all the oxygen. and besides there is no interesting discussion to be had with modern average internet user.

>>1695361 I'll take one retarded mork over the 15 alog faggots that infest zzz/v/ any day of the week.

>>1695235 >young enough to not have a clue instagram users? >have enough free time to have hobbies This is a momentum thing. I'd love to post on /ck/ for example, mainly as someone learning things, but that board's expired. >without being complete sperglords Tricky... >want something different from big tech That's another hard one. If I were to elaborate on this, though, you could also have people who consider 8chan's freedom at the cost of potential sick shit being posted to be the lesser evil compared to centralized platforms. >advertise on pirate sites or college bathrooms That's more or less it, yeah. I'd say 8chan is in an odd spot where it's not on either extreme- it's niche enough to not attract from centralized parties, but it's known enough to not attract from more hidden elements. Also, if I may be so bold, isn't the claim that a site needs to be developed in order to maintain its users refuted by 4chan from hiroshimoot's takeover to it getting canned in April? I think that it would have to be a community or communities that would have interest in posting here consistently, while also being able to both adapt and mold the site's culture. That last one may be controversial, but if cultural development is truly stopped in any society, that would mean a lack of novel though, creating a formulaic and stagnant lifestyle. Obviously, you cannot entirely let new users overrun the culture- I think a litmus test for this would be said newcomer's thoughts on gamergate, or adjacent ideals. While most likely forgot the incident, it is like kudzu in the garden of the video game industry. If the newcomers agree, either immediately or through reminding, that it needs to be removed from the garden, then they would naturally adapt well to /v/. If not, then there is a clash of ideals here, and would be best for both parties to agree to not interact with one another.

>>1695361 Mark is a Jew. I am not saying this to be anti-semitic, but to have you acknowledge that having heated discussions with an individual with Jewish heritage is likely to produce nothing of note due to Cluster B personality traits. I speak from experience, my family has it, I have it, we are Jews too, it is basically a psychological rite of passage with middle easteners. >we Have had this discussion for fucking ever, I have come back to browse with anticipation that the place will be more chill and lively, and the bitterring demoralizing autism wars are still fucking going, again and again, and again. You are arguing against a pre-approved decision and mindset, not against someone willing to change but a man defending his autistic ambitions, you will have wait several more years for Mark to gain insight in a much more private and safe environment if he wishes to stop infighting with his community, as his attitude clearly shows he sees you all as a threat. His has attachment to an Idealized vision of /v/ has gone on forever now. I'm not sure what else has been left on the cutting room floor, but I hope you do what I'm doing and simply frequent the board less, and use your energy for something that will net results and positive change.

>TIL little animu grils with glowy halos make some anons irrational enraged I don't know why the PPH is down right now but I'm 100% sure it isn't because of Blue Archive. FYI it seems to be down across the whole site with the exception of certain threads or certain boards. It's not a Mark problem. It's probably not a 4chan problem either unless a bunch of our posters went back with the refugees.

>>1695394 Who fucking cares about the PPH. The quality of discussion matters much more The salience. The enjoyment. The entertainment. The anonymous. The gratification of being anon. That's what matters.

>>1695401 Well then the quality from what I can see isn't bad. Just a bit fucking slow. I blame there not being enough new good games to discuss.

>>1695361 >Goons? Josh? Are you seriously using Gigamaidens as a shield for your conduct? Objects relations theory is big with cluster B's, it is what anons have called "boogeyman", and psychologists have known of this phenomena for a long time. There are many different types of "objects" or boogeymen. I don't really have the energy to explain it in imageboard speak, so please read the following: https://vaknin-talks.com/transcripts/Snapshotting_s_Role_in_Narcissist_s_Shared_Fantasy/ https://www.mentalhealth.com/library/object-relations-theory-continued https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27176498/

>>1695394 The activity isn't down because of the gachafags, I don't even think anyone is arguing that. The point being made is that Mark is pretending that their activity means the rest of the board hasn't slowed down organically over the last few years, when anyone that is actually using the board can see that isn't true.

>>1695376 >instagram users? sure the same demographics that made 4chan popular twenty years ago, underageb&s, edgy college kids, and social rejects with nothing better to do do you think they weren't also aolchat users? irc users? gaiaonline users? and so on who cares platform consolewar shit isn't any better >/ck/ same and food being universal it's probably a good target for a revival and exporting creations, memes, and so on >Tricky... moderation >potential sick shit the big platforms are full of it these days unless you have a hyperfocused algorithm, it's not THAT different the bigger evil is the friction and control the make a fucking account for everything the forcefeeding of slop the random account bans the hugboxes the surveillance there are definitely other people out there tired of it, but it's not like most of them are going to be yelling about it on their xitter

>>1695415 When Mark makes a genuine mistake, he is dogpiled by autists which makes mark double down on his errors with a panicked knee-jerk reaction, disguising it as pride or arrogance, which ends up worse for everybody else as the autists want that reactions. Mark then refuses to admit he is wrong, because of effeminate emotional tantrums, making him a prime target for more bullying. It's a pattern I fucking loathe to see time and time again, but damn is it funny.

Every thread ends up the same.these days >thread subject about something >genuine discussion for like 10 post >willy/luciano or other named bad actor spams their dumb shit for 50 posts >newfags who never seen their antics either gets spooked from the thread or reply like idiots >thread gets derailed and people lose interest Every fucking thread.

>>1695460 I got a thread to simulate for you, rate it >Thread: Wario finally retiring treasure hunting? >So it looks official: Wario says he’s done risking his back in dank temples for gold coins and is just gonna stick with WarioWare Inc. He claims he makes way more money letting other weirdos make microgames while he sleeps. Honestly, kinda hard to argue. What do you all think? End of an era? <posts >Makes sense. He spent like a decade getting boulders dropped on him and running while being set on fire for bags of coins, then WarioWare gave him passive income. It’s the smart play. >Not gonna lie, WarioWare really fits him as a character more. Greedy, lazy, but somehow successful. Hunting treasure doesn’t scale. Microgames do. >It’s also meta genius: Nintendo turned him from Mario’s rival into a dev studio mascot. Now he’s just the sleazy boss raking in profits. >He actually feels more modern this way. Tons of people ditch physical grind for "content creation" or managing others. Wario predicted it. >Yeah but I’ll miss the Wario Land aesthetic. Exploring weird and unusual worlds >>> tapping buttons for 4-second microgames. >Counterpoint: if he’s making so much money, he could fund another Wario Land. He just won’t because he’s a greedy bastard. >Canonically, he literally sleeps while others do all the work. >It’s the "rich slacker" dream. Work once, then coast forever. Classic Wario. >Unironically inspiring. He’s the first Nintendo character to union-bust his own staff. >Man went from smashing blocks to running a pyramid scheme. Character development. <in comes the usual spam from willy/luciano <newfags bite >thus, the thread dies along with Captain Syrup's hopes and dreams

>>1695503 >Wario won't fund another Wario Land Ah, but that's where Wario could have his cake and eat it too! Imagine WarioWare Inc. making microgames involving Wario Land. He funds a Wario Land, brings in people missing "the good old days", AND, when the figures don't show good growth, Wario can point at it being unprofitable. It's actually very smart from him.

>>1694143 This just proves gookslop and anything surrounding it was a mistake.

>>1695503 >Greedy Bastard https://yewtube.com/watch?v=vohdLjliyV4

>>1695711 FUCK. I forgot how to hyperlink, halp

>>1695711 It's yewtu.be, not yewtube.com https://yewtu.be/watch?v=vohdLjliyV4

>>1695246 I wouldn't blame mark. It's dubious to think that the BO is responsible even if he's a literal retard, as the community of an imageboard and its attractiveness is entirely built on the community itself, unless mark was being so much of a sperg that it would literally push people away, but so far, the only thing I've seen he do that is annoying is being a nintendrone cuck, but that's one small topic that wouldn't even affect the overall gist and feeling of things. The new generation are just huge cucks that can barely manage navigating anything without an app (and I will never not be utterly baffled that the new gen seriously has less computer skills than the previous generations, that's just bizarre), which is sort of a good thing for filtering at least the semi decent people to reach here, but the birth rates are down and the amount of retards is increasing, which leaves decent places on the internet starving for new blood, naturally.

>>1694819 I like it thank you for making it.

>>1695909 Bless you anon.

I've been out all day, what the fuck did I just walk in on? >>1695246 >which is the exact same reputation 4chan was born out of 1. 4chan is far older and far more removed from its controversial past 2. Plebbitors and twittards casualized the shit out of the site and sanded it down to where it's a shell of its former self 3. 4chan is being propped up in the mainstream as a content farm (ie Shit4chanSays, TurkeyTom, WavyWebSurfs, etc.) and by celebs who at least admitted to a 4chan upbringing in part, regardless of how loudly or proudly. 4. Look at what happens when you search both sites on Bing and tell me someone isn't going to get the wrong first impression. 5. 8moe, as pointed out, has no activity beyond bitching in generals and cyclicals. We've still got the skins of tons of communities from 8prime, but without users and activity they're as useful as sand in the Sahara. Nobody would want to be caught dead on this site. except Mark >If you just ignore it and keep posting everything gets completely memory holed and people stop caring in a week. That works if you have an audience to begin with, with an audience of borderline zero and no outreach to combat negative rep you're kneecapping growth severely. >as people gain familiarity with the place Which requires them to post and stay for a while, with how ADHD zoomers are and how used familiar with older sites boomers/millennials are the first excuse to stop using this site they'll take. >>1695405 >I blame there not being enough new good games to discuss. Hasn't stopped anons in the past, if you believe some we haven't had a good game since 8prime was born, possibly earlier. >>1695420 >/ck/ You'd probably have to kick a few /ck/ refuge threads on /v/ /b/ and others to that board, Also what kind of memes can even come out of food culture? You think some genius is gonna recreate the Yum Yum? >the big platforms are full of it these days unless you have a hyperfocused algorithm, it's not THAT different Degenerate roblox AI slop and spam that violates the law and gets us in legal trouble are a little bit different. >but it's not like most of them are going to be yelling about it on their xitter Ooooh, I think you've stumbled onto a very important point here. What if the ones most likely to post can't be reached through the traditional internet means? Would 8moe be able to survive as a grassroots org through IRL invites predominantly? >>1695503 6/10, how the fuck would lucianopill be able to springboard off of a random ass Wario thread? A religious debate on how genuinely jewish Wario is would be a far more likely derail, maybe economic shit as well. >Sex with Captain Syrup would also be in the first ten posts but now I'm just nitpicking >>1695827 The BO is the face that people can point to when moderation is lacking though, the leader that acts as a weak point for the community, much like why GG had no leaders initially. As stated here >>1695427 Mark can be a huge liability because of how easily exploited and vulnerable he can be. I want to have faith in him but sometimes he burns that faith a little bit with his more retarded decisions. >which leaves decent places on the internet starving for new blood, naturally Yeah there's no easy quick fix for imageboard problems that can really be tied back to societal and mental rot.

>>1695827 He's responsible for setting the tone of the board and has significantly more control over its direction than any individual anon does. Not once did he ever acknowledge the dwindling userbase and more likely than not banned people that would bring it up since for a good year or two anon's were completely delusional about the problem. Mark has a lot of influence over people even if that sounds ridiculous. There is a lot of basic things he could have been doing that would open up the culture of the board to encourage organic advertisement. Slap on a capcode and remind people that they should record their gameplay during gamenights and upload it as a webm or a file somewhere. Even if it's just raw footage some bored anon might decide to edit it into some gamenight compilation, then that could be watermarked and uploaded in some thread on cuckchan. There are a million tiny decisions he could have made as someone that touts himself as an internet forum social media wizkid but he doesn't even manage the bare minimum. Yes individual anons could do this of their own accord, but Mark has the ability to influence a larger number of people by making things have the veneer of an official project they get to contribute towards. And it allows him to delegate productivity. These by the way Mark, are the actual skills the people applying for the jobs you want have and can demonstrate. Not just sending some fucking emails begging people to do lame AMA threads.

>can't be reached through the traditional internet means? they're still around, can't get away after all, but yeah, reaching them is the hard part >Would 8moe be able to survive as a grassroots org through IRL invites predominantly? <thinking any of us faggots have anyone IRL worth talking to you jest, but also why not some ARG shit go touch grass and drop a few flyers, tack a few business cards in places never know who might turn up if you target right

>>1696050 Everything has been weirdly slow this summer, even when taking into account the drop off that non 4chan imageboards have been experiencing for the last half decade. I can understand why /brit/ slowed down, that's due to their government trying to turn their IRL home into Airstrip One. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the posting. Usually there's a little uptick during summer hours.

>>1696127 I can peruse boards on the topbar, "core" boards that are very close to imageboard culture like /a/ and /co/, four threads will have been bumped since I last checked 24 hours ago, and ~50 posts made in total. One post every twenty minutes (being generous and accounting for sleep schedules) on a board/thread that isn't /vyt/ or /gacha/ would've been tolerable in 2010, but looking for content from this place is trying to squeeze blood out of a long dead stone. We have this gif's problem with no clear cut definition of how to develop an "atmosphere", a lot of theories but no significant action since the 4chan bunny collab which, again, seems mostly because of 4chan's temporary death and her audience moving here not because 8moe won her over naturally >natural growth >on post 2020 internet Other sites didn't just instantly get big overnight, any action we take now might get our userbase to double short term and triple after a year with dedication to the bit, but we can't count on 4chan randomly imploding again if we want a genuine userbase; >that's due to their government trying to turn their IRL home into Airstrip One Especially with this hostile internet takeover.
