Thank you, he's been extremely toxic to the community.

So what actually happened to the report?

There's a tab next to profile where you can see all the reports. I'd screenshot it, except I'm using a shitty Win8 laptop.

Report received.

Don't worry he's banned now.

I think long-term, this will prove to be an advantage in terms of created revenue. Fancy stuff attracts users more than stuff that is slightly more practical, but way less shiny. Most users never get into the forums anyways, so it is merely incidental to their main reason of being on the website (playing the game, looking at their profile etc.). The usability won't be of much importance to them, which means that appearance weighs more than usability from their perspective - and when these sort of people turn out to be the majority, also from peppys perspective.

I can't blame him.
It could turn out to be a decent trade-off for peppu. The general feedback in the main forums official thread wasn't all that negative either.

Yeah pretty much. But the reason there isn't much negative feedback is because if there was he would just delete the thread. Most of the discussions by anyone who has been there for any amount of time were doing so in OT. 95% of the people in the 'discuss the new design thread' are either irrelevant newcomers or mods and staff sucking up to peppu.
And that's why we made this forum, because complaining to peppu wouldn't do anything.

They just need to balance aesthetics and practicality better.

Yeah it wouldn't be too hard to make something that people liked, if he wanted to.

I don't like the new forum design. Everything feels too big. So much wasted space. The infinite scrolling is just terrible. Especially if a thread is long. I don't care if the design is all colorful and "pretty" either. I just want it to be fucking functional. The forum felt decent when I browsed it through mobile, but on a pc? Nah son.

Pewdiepie posting a video won't change anything. A good amount of the player base consists of kids/dumb people/both, add the ones pewdiepie sent on osu's way and they can still be avoided or ignored easily. I doubt most of pewdiepie's fanbase has the detication to stick to a rhythm game anyway. Most will likely quit.

The only thing I got on peppu is that being socially inept is a bad trait in his line of work. Idk what else to think about this prick.

Yep.

I don't think pewdiepie will have much of an impact either, but it just shows who he's catering to.

tbh

Currently it's just passive, but I'm still not fond of having role-playing and private conversations floating around. I'd be okay with that here though.

I don't see the problem with it. I don't see why we need to change how we act just to make it easier on newcomers.

No, that's fine and in fact ideal

The issue is when you try to make a cool kids club out of it

OT was never like that though, was it? No one gets ostracized just because they're a 'new guy' or whatever.

/a/ is likely Osu 2.0, but with more technical nerds. :p

So a few people like gore, and a few people post their naughty parts because they have a concerning wart or something, doesn't seem too bad to me. And it's a bit hard to embarrass yourself when you're posting on an anonymous imageboard mate :p

Well, i wouldnt say OT wants to be private, but i gotta admit it kinda got something clique esque going on. Not too much but its there.

Pretty much.

I don't see the problem with having different subcultures on a public forum. That is how you attract new people rather than dying out.

Well, the issue with OT is that it's listed as a public forum but it wants to be a private group. We have a culture and userbase that wants to be exclusive, but it's been put in a public setting and those mix like oil and water. You try to enforce the public aspect and you get GD. You enforce the private aspect and you get OT.

This is why I adored bungie.net: you had public forums and you were also given on-site private groups that could be made on any user's whim. You had a place (dozens, really) where you could circlejerk all day about any of your interests and that'd be fine. You didn't have to bug public forums with shit content because you had a place for that (also mods would ban you for a week just for replying to shit threads). There was a time and place for anything and everything. OT kind of fills that role, but a line still has to be drawn.

As it stands, though? Yeah, OT is the closest thing you can get to a private group on osu! barring using third-party means like this, skype, slack, irc, etc.

Regarding influx of users? Unless we actively advertised this forum via signatures and discussions on the public forum, we wouldn't get many new users. We still have a potential userbase in banned players (of which I know a ton which are totally cool dudes) like Mara over there. Either way, I think our influx would be small enough that it would not overwhelm our group in any way, and our autism would probably keep the place going for quite a while.

I don't really think that's a fair description. OT is not 'private', it just has it's own culture, and only a relatively small amount of people who encounter it integrate themselves into that culture.

Meh, i dont really know anything about 8chan anyways. So yeah, no judging. But out of sheer curiousity, what communities would you put the ads on

Good for you to say that at least, these other guys were basically "who is this '8chan'" an hour ago and then complaining now that they didn't want anything to do with it. I was thinking of advertising on /furry/, /pedo/, /cuteboys/ and

I think we can keep this forum going indefinitely. That is, if we actually start using this one instead of posting back in the old OT. As for getting new people, I just lurk in the main forum and invite the people who seem worthy. I might even advertise on 8chan since you can purchase adds cheaply and target them at whatever board you want. And no I'm not talking about /b/, some of the smaller boards have pretty decent communities.

#1048 Re: Off Topic » Pretend you are peppu » 2015-10-20 01:54:30

I am the bone of my game
Code is my body and weeb songs are my blood
I have banned over 1000 players
unknown to discourse,
nor known to amendment
I have withstood criticism to create many updates
Yet these ears will never listen to any user
So as I type away,
UNLIMITED peppu WORKS
