Im pretty sure "back then" isnt just reffering to 3 years ago but even longer ago?
On a unrelated note: No cntl + enter for quick reply. q-q
Well, basically, anonymity makes some idiots think they can do whatever they please; they falsely assume that since users have no appartent way of identifying the one that does shit they're not able to be held accountable for these things.
The thing is, you can find those idiots anywhere; so why can i visit the websites where they are on? Easy, i tell myself, if i wanted to avoid idiots this much i shouldnt browse the internet at all. Im dealing with them as i do with spam. Hide, delete, block. Ignore. I cant stop them and im not letting them ruin my day.
And /fit/... dunno, i dont really browse it but from the few things i've seen it seems just like what it says it is; a board about fitness. The one time i posted there i got help and a new, actual regime for working out including indepth explainations why and what those exercises do. So they're chill in my books.
Honestly, a lot of this is what you make it to be. Kind of like how everyone says tumblr is totally shit, but if you follow interresting people and not those crazy ones its a chill place aswell.
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.
Hey now, the chans are pretty much only hosts for many different communities. Im rather liking the arts and crafts boards on 4chan... blame the media for calling /b/ 4chan. And yourself for forming such general prejudices based on media informations.
Is NSFW allowed?
Eh, sure. Just dont go overboard, so suggestive and questionable, sure. Explicit, no.
Hello, hi! Yes, you, this is the Image-Madness where we take an stock image, photo or other landscape images and add things to them! Once the image is full, we take a new one to ruin enhance and the old one gets added to a spoiler in the OP! Theres only one rule in place: You may only add/alter one thing per post. Keep mlg to a minimum, cats optional.
Heres the image we start with:
Remember to use transparent additions, posts that do not adhere to the one and only rule do not count and are skipped.
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?
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.
Reminds me of the social forum system they use over at Terraria.org , but i havent really made any use of it. Just seems like most of these groups are pretty... well dead.
Steams system is pretty similar to that aswell...
Yeah, of course, but would it be the same if back then newcomers werent so hacked on unless they posted something really great? Think about it, the regulars that would post today would be different ones. Probably.
Ah, pondering about this is useless anyways, who could truly tell?
Well, the problem with already etablished forums is finding one that allows what we had, board culture and lax mods and all. I guess keeping the board culture the same is impossible either way but im browsing a lot of forums and i havent seen any quite like osu!s offtopic.
In fact, that offtopic is pretty much the only one i regulary post in, the others are always filled with kiddos who think randumb is fun.
Might be becaus offtopics past with the elitism and all kept out the kiddos. Then again, you could say the same about /b/ and /b/ is cancer.
Forumslut
Im here for fortune and glory.
So, realistically seen, how long do you think will this offtopic survive?
Sorry for being pessimistic but i've done similar things in the past and it works for a few weeks at best and you're losing active people but no new people join in...
Also Aurani, your name is gay, seconding EneT there. Also, get your butt over here so i can kick it in strategy games. :P
