/cyber/ - Cyberpunk & Science Fiction

>>32208

>BO of /cyber/ could be seen as a conflict of interest

Props for saying that. Good to know our board is in good hands and not some power hungry mofo. Saying that though, to me I have no issue with you running both really.

It would be cool to brainstorm some ideas on how to reinvigorate cyber a bit, maybe draw in some people. Maybe reach out to reddits /r/cyberpunk mods, ask them to put a link here in the sidebar as the place has about 78k subs and can reach /r/all on sometimes. Reach out to some cybery, futurist blogs for a plug, not sure.

>>32213

>Come the fuck on…

I forgot, us celite 8hanners, are too edgy and above le plebbit. 78k subs tho. Just a plug fagget cant hurt.

>>32216

IT IS NOT ABOUT QUANTITY

The quality of discussion on /r/cyberpunk is shit. It is the all of the things wrong with /cyber/ wrapped up in a convenient cancer package. We don't need more of that.

Also, it's not that chans are underground and plebbit is so mainstream that we tend to stay seperate. There are fundamental differences between our cultures and that is why we tend not to commune.

>>32213

>There are a lot of things wrong with /cyber/

Could you describe what you feel is wrong with /cyber/ and ways you think /cyber/ could improve?

Some tweaks to the css would be nice. Could you make it so when opening an image in-line it maxes the width of hi-res images to the width of our screens? Large images tend to push the sides out as far as it goes and you then need to close that image or else text stretches past the edge of the screen requiring you to scroll right to read it. Its just a minor annoyance but the only problem I can identify as far as board css goes.

>>32224

irc.rizon.net

/cyber/ and /g/punk

I think the events idea is a good one. Somebody want to host movie night?

>>32226

This is a great idea. We should for sure do a Movie night. There is a site that lets you stream video and has a chatbox on the side, kind of like twitch back from halfchans /b/ movie nights. Can't remember its name though.

>>32227

Another event I can think of is if we get a shared computing thing going to generate a new onion url for 8chan and replace the one hotwheels lost. I've never participated in shared computing so I wouldn't know the first thing about pooling our resources here but I think that would be super shway.

>>32208

>monoelain stepped down today

Well, shit.

I'd volunteer, but I'm a bit too busy these days.

I would like to see some better quality on the board. Maybe crack down on shitposting? I dunno.

>>32208

>>32219

Hey, I'm the current manager of #cyber on Rizon, if you've ever hoped in, you can tell I'm not on nearly enough to help it grow into a hopping IRC, I do see it as /cyber/'s IRC though, and I'd like to hand it over the IRC to someone more capable.

>>32221

>A couple shitty threads pop up and the board moves too slow for them to 404 so it rustles peoples jimmies

Perhaps a solution to this would be to limit the amount of pages this board has to 10 rather than 15.

>A couple threads pop up saying how shit the board is.

Although some people may not like this, but perhaps we could limit all board related meta drama to their own meta threads. Mark

does something similar to this on /v/, with the weekly meta threads.

>>32208

I hope this isn't too much trouble, but could you post a picture of the board configuration settings. Just so we could have a

better understanding of the board itself.

>>32240

Another thing i forgot to add here, was to simply limit the amount of stickies at any given time to 1

you could probably accomplish this by using the blotter more.

Now i'll admit that this is just nitpicking, but it'd make the board more tidy.

>>32240

>>32241

Now this is just a personal request of mine, but i'd really like it if the >>>/vir/ board was promoted here.

I'd love to see that board get more recognition.

>>32208

I think find a new BO. In all honesty /cyber/ isn't getting as much traction with regards to posts as it used to.So, if we all migrated to lainchan, then we won't need to worry about cyber. I like this board but let's be honest, lainchan has more quality posts.

>>32248

>privacy

>GNU/privacy

>different categories

mah nigga

The only thing I would disagree about it making them stickies, I don't want to see a page 1 full of stickies, leave it in general threads.

>>32249

That's why recurring threads are a thing. Keeps them large and near the top.

>>32248

The problem is we're trying too hard to keep threads minimal. Our mr robot thread is so bloated with season 1 discussions that when season two or three comes out it's going to be like a thousand posts long. There are instances where we do need new threads (eg; new threads per season) and we're not doing it. We're creating information bloat and because there's so much nobody is going to read it, and therefore, assume 8chan isn't posting anything.

>>32219

There was an irruption of /pol/tards few weeks ago that greatly reduced posts quality for a week or so (by smearing their shit buzzwords in every thread). I'm strongly against censorship, so removing them or banning anyone is not an option. I suggest to add word-filter for these buzzword that will replace them with something more /cyber/-related.

Some duplicate threads do appear once in a while, mostly about wallpapers, music, fashion, programming and "r8 muh rig". I don't know what to do with them. Probably just leave them be.

Other than that, we are good.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. THANK FUCKING LAIN.

This board desperately needs the administration style and culture of Lainchan, absolutely. As others have noted, and as you can clearly see by browsing through the board, /cyber/ has a fucking lot of problems. I'm all for keeping you as the BO and getting fucking organized here, talking strategy for giving this board a much-needed revamping.

Here's the thing, though: The biggest problems with /cyber/ aren't the fault of /cyber/, but what 8chan's community and culture have turned into. I'm aware that /pol/ has always been an integral part of 8chan, but over time they've come to be an infuriatingly prevalent and poisonous presence on this site. It's not necessary that their political views have been ruining the site by injecting them everywhere - although that's definitely a big part of it IMO - but more that they 1). Refuse to confine themselves to their own board, and 2). Can only converse through their shit memes and buzzwords.

So with /pol/'s influence everywhere on the site, combined with /v/'s - which is known for also having some serious problems with their board culture - and the MRA-tier GamerGate presence (sadly enough, since it started off as a great thing for the vidya industry), you basically have a *chan similar to the problems that caused us to leave 4chan. Instead of newfags and incessant reposts, though, this site as a whole generally has a huge problem with shitposters and people responding to shitposters without at least saging.

I'm not sure exactly how we can combat this problem on /cyber/ specifically though, and I'm sure even a lot of you who don't go on /pol/ would start raging at me if I were to suggest that we engage in political board war drama against the fascists, even if a lot of us are anarchists.

Some of us on >>>/anarcho/ (http://8ch.net/anarcho/res/9385.html) have been talking about a possible non-authoritarian way to combat problems like this. Quite simply, we as a community need to start taking a more concentrated stand against shitposting. Sage and ignore, and make quality posts everywhere you can. In our case, that would involve dropping some neon pills around the board, schooling these skiddies about what cyberpunk and hacker culture are all about. It's really that simple, but it requires basically militantly active posters.

We need to get fucking organized, or otherwise resort to Stalinst-style moderation. And unfortunately, the community has been disappointing me so much across the whole site that I wouldn't mind at least more active, Lainchan-style moderation. Cleaning up obvious shitposting at the minimum is something I think we could really use from you, Darkengine.

>tl;dr SAGE AND IGNORE SHITPOSTS YOU FUCKING shazbotS IT'S NOT THAT HARD HOLY SHIT

>>32264

lainchan fags have been coming here en masse lately to try and convert people. It's like fucking cancer

>>32208

You seem like a pretty cool mod, and as someone who has recently started browsing lainchan as well, I don't see /cyber/ and /cyb/ being in any direct competition.

Specifically what >>32224 said. It'd be great if you get a bit involved in threads etc.

Other than that, I'm glad to see some change. While I do believe it's a huge exaggeration to say that /cyber/ is complete shit now, it definitely was a lot better before the great deletion.

Also, it'd be great to get more people on the #cyber irc channel.

>>32264

There's literally nothing wrong with /pol/ and MRAs. Okay I admit that /pol/ can be annoying when they start calling everyone a kike/shill, but overall they have a positive influence on 8chan.

>you basically have a *chan similar to the problems that caused us to leave 4chan.

What are you talking about? The reason we left 4chan was because the mods started deleting threads about Anita Sarkeesian at a time when it was all people talked about. I agree with you that shitposting is a problem, but it's not specific to 8chan, let alone any one particular board.

Okay, here we go:

halfchan /g/ wiki is okay, but not enough

We need our own wiki, to explain what is this, why is this and that, list of corps that are compromised by default and such

my 2cents\

>>32264

>this place needs to be like lainchan

got to lainchan then

>>32264

I strongly agree with your tl;dr statement, even if the rest is a bit naive imo. What this board needs is more discussion and less shit-flinging.

>>32288

>/pol/ has a positive influence on 8chan

Are you fucking kidding me? Were you not here for the technocracy thread? They literally are not capable of communicating in anything other than memes. And MRAs are just male SJWs.

>reasons we left 4chan

Notice that I said *similar* to the reasons why we left 8chan. Mods were definitely a problem, but if the mods had at least done their fucking jobs and deleted all the inane shitposting on 4chan, things would have been a hell of a lot better.

8chan's free speech policy is great since it generally means that no one has to worry about their posts getting deleted because of the ideology they advocate, but it also means that people abuse the hell out of this lassiez-faire moderation style to shitpost everything to death. Hence you have things like /v/ and /pol/ spouting "cuck" and "shill" for literally everything, one-line bait thread OPs, and everything that /intl/ has been doing.

>>32287

>>32297

Yes, because being a fascist is so much more worldly and mature, right? An ideology that is universally scorned, and is even less successful than anarchism (which, among many other examples throughout history, was the name of the game for hundreds of years before the rise of the State).

But sure, anarchism is "invalid" and "unrealistic", because [reasons]. Right? Fucking bald assertions and smug implied superiority like usual are the only talking points outside of memes that you shazbots are able to produce.

But that's not even close to the point I was making. Not that it surprises me that even the mere mention of anarchism is enough to trigger the stormbabbies.

>>32275

>>32293

>>32293

And then you people just illustrate my point. Someone is posting about something that they like? WELL THEN THEY MUST BE A SHILL PART OF A SECRET SHILLING CONSPIRACY AGAINST MUH SEEKRET CLUB!!1!

It's really sad, this *chan used to be great and this board used to be great, but the discourse here is across the board getting worse and most of the users here refuse to acknowledge it because we're too stuck up our own collective ass to be critical of ourselves and the ideologies that have become the status quo here.

I think that it's worth trying to get 8chan's community back to how it was when we first moved here, but at this point I have little hope for this place and am probably going to have moved almost entirely to Lainchan by the end of this year if things don't get better.

>>32316

I like that you're the only person to even acknowledge the ultimate point I'm making. Obviously my post was long enough without getting deeper into detail about why I think the problems with 8chan are what I think they are, but in the end all it comes down to is the utter incompetence of the users on 8chan.

Free speech and lassiez-faire moderation is a big responsibility that unfortunately is hard to preserve on the internet, where the average person turns into a sociopath given the lack of concrete repercussions to anything they say or do in the net. You can bitch and moan all you want about how important free speech is here, but if all you're going to do is then shut out and shitpost away anything that disagrees with the status quo here, you're only being a gigantic hypocrite.

It wasn't always this way, either. For a brief time on this board and on 8chan as a whole, people contributed quality discussion and actually to their time writing out posts that were reasonable and well-thought-out responses to things that they didn't like, and shunned anyone who acted like a halfchan-tier shazbot. Where has that gone, though? This whole community is turning to shit, and /cyber/ is a perfect example of that.

If you shazbots don't want to have to be babysat by mods like fucking children, act like adults. Sage and ignore shitposters, and at least make an effort to either post quality content or learn to shut the fuck up and lurk.

>>32318

>An ideology that is universally scorned

>But that's not even close to the point I was making. Not that it surprises me that even the mere mention of anarchism is enough to trigger the stormbabbies.

>implying we are fascists as well

>stormbabbies

>judging an ideology by popularity on a cyberpunk board where people come together because they don't agree with the masses

JUST… EVERYTHING IN THIS POST…

>I think that it's worth trying to get 8chan's community back to how it was when we first moved here, but at this point I have little hope for this place and am probably going to have moved almost entirely to Lainchan by the end of this year if things don't get better.

No. Friendly advice : do it now, you autist/shitposter hybrid

Bet cyberpunk is just le cool style 4u to watch le cool animaymay with computers xd

>>32318

Anarchism is unrealistic because there are several things you can only accomplish with a central group organizing them–for instance, brouzouf. Oh, and agreeing on how to handle shit like, I dunno, roads.

Also, cut the strawmanning. You're acting like an assblasted teenager.

>>32319

>Bet cyberpunk is just le cool style 4u to watch le cool animaymay with computers xd

Wow! Everyone! A real cyberpunk! Fighter of megacorps, leaker of classified intel and high tech low life hacking whirlwind. We need more posters like you.

C'mon, I know we can discuss the state of the board without resorting to shit-flinging and ad hominems. Let's chill out a bit and try to talk rationally.

Let's also remember that there are two facets of cyberpunk: the genre of fiction and all the stuff that comes with it (books, art, anime, etc) and cyberpunk aspects of modern society (dumpster diving, security, megacorps, etc). I hope that we can see both on this board without arguing over which is "the real cyberpunk."

Based on what I've read ITT, I'm thinking something along these lines:

- Restrict board meta-issues to a meta thread

- Disallow "this thread sucks" posts if they don't contain content which attempts to improve the thread

- Encourage (but not strictly enforce) people to discuss rationally and avoid shitflinging

- Encourage (but not strictly enforce) people to avoid responding to bait

Thoughts?

>>32324

Sounds like a decent plan.

>>32324

This thread sucks. It needs more computers and shit.

>>32327

Well fuck me. That looks pretty schway.

>>32327

Yeah that looks cool as fuck. Also not sure if cable gore or porn. I'm leaning more towards porn.

>>32318

>Were you not here for the technocracy thread?

No, I left /cyber/ the day I checked the catalog and there was a thread about christianity with over a hundred replies. Today I was feeling nostalgic and decided to see if you guys were still alive…

>And MRAs are just male SJWs.

MRAs talk about things like false rape accusations and anti-male biases in family courts, which are serious problems that society refuses to even acknowledge.

Meanwhile SJWs whine about people not using the correct pronouns and think everything is rape. Whether you like MRAs or not, you have to admit that the two groups are not comparable.

>Notice that I said *similar* to the reasons why we left 8chan.

Yeah, I noticed, but the problems you listed are *different*. It wasn't /pol/ or GamerGate's fault that we had to leave 4chan. It was the fact that the mods actively and persistently opposed the community.

>>32331

Where were you messing around during your time away?

/cyber/ is so terribly slow i wouldn't mind seeing more discussions.

>>32332

Quality>quantity

I would rather have less, but more interesting threads that are related to the board than general shitflinging about pleb topics that get discussed on every single board.

Maybe you quantity guys should read something related or/and technical rather than watching the board and complaining all day that "the board so slow :((((((("

Like linux, networking, programming , hacking, hardware stuff and such, just to mention some

seriously

>>32333

Quality over quantity is one thing. When there's about 3 posts a day it's quite another.

That sounds like censorship.

>>32321

I don't think you know much about anarchism then.

>>32324

I think as far as what we ought to be asking of you as a mod goes, you've got a solid set of areas to fix laid out. I'm wondering how you're going to encourage people to not respond to bait and contribute rational discussion, however. I think this thread has already proven that irrational discourse and responding to bait (even if my post was apparently unintentionally bait) is basically the status quo here.

Ultimately, unless we're ready to make moderation a lot stricter here, it's up to us as users to maintain the quality of this board and post quality content. If we can't even manage to sage and ignore shitposters, we don't deserve to be upset when our rights to free speech are taken away by overbearing mods who are just trying to clean up the shitposting.

I whole-heartedly support the idea of doing things to get this board back up in the top 25

>>32358

Lainchan, I think, but it's posts are spread out over several boards.

>>32358

8ch gets far more visitors than lainchan, but it probably gets more visitors than 8ch/cyber/. Although I'd like to know how many different users have posted in this thread alone, seeing as how we've gotten 60 replies (now 61) within a day, especially given that the vast majority of imageboard users just lurk.

>>32318

>And MRAs are just male SJWs.

I'm an MRA, I advocate for Prisoner's rights because people are dying for treatable illnesses when they're not even convicted, just pre-trial detainees.

Fuck off and die.

>>32324

Can "is ____ cyberpunk?" threads be done away with? These posts are totally needless.

I'm tired of

- is this jacket cyberpunk?

- is this drug cyberpunk?

- is this food cyberpunk?

- is this music cyberpunk?

And on and on. It's all just noise. If you want to make a thread about clothing, drugs, food or music, then just do it (if there isn't one already). If the community feels the thread has merit, conversation will flourish. If they don't, it can go away, as it should.

>>32324

are you gonna do this >>32240 , it'd really help if you posted an image of the board configuration settings.

You seem like a nice guy DE but the new owner should be an older user of /cyber/.

And regarding the loop babble above we've anchored the topic of "weh neeed mo friendly users fo Dem plebbit discussions" which is asinine.

>anarchism is immature and juvenile and that's all I need to say about it because I'm just right and more mature than you

>all this calling me childish

>these painfully obvious attempts and trying to sound smart with your inflated language

Are you legitimately autistic and irony-impaired?

I posted some legitimate complaints about the state of 8chan that I believe to be related to the influence that /pol/ and the GG crowd have had here, and instead of responding to those or literally any other points I've made in the interest of improving a board that we all like (which boils down to nothing other than saging and ignoring shitposts) you not only ignore all of that, but in fact contribute to the problem and prove my point.

You're obviously from /pol/, and as a representative of them you've shown yourself to consistently be unable to respond to me without forcing an air of superiority that you think allows you to dismiss everything I say as immature while simultaneously doing nothing but what amounts to namecalling. All this over a few mentions of my opinions of /pol/, in a thread that is supposed to be about fixing /cyber/ as a whole - which none of you shazbots getting triggered at my post have even begun to contribute to.

If you and the others insist on acting like a bunch of butthurt stormweenies, I'm just going to start ignoring you. Seriously, it is way too easy to upset you people. You're derailing the thread and I'm not going to be a part of that.

>>32388

Seconded

That anon again. (No, not that one. Yes, that one.)

The problem with "moar contributors" is that Cyberpunk, even in its heyday, was pretty niche. Nowadays it's a subset of a subset, and declared by some to be "dead". Furthermore it's a complex topic that's constantly changing, as we are moving towards a simulacrum of much prophesized in ye olde Cyberpunk literature in several ways.

>>32408

I'd do it.

But i'm already doing saturday movie nights with a brittish guy.

>>32324

>>32415

>all those word-filtered sites

Now i'll be the first to say that most of those sites promote sjw garbage, but it should still be up to the users to click on the links if they want to.

Back on 4chan, you essentially had a few things happen: either someone would request/post an archive link, someone would post a full screencap, select quotes

from the article would be posted, or people would just go to the original link.

The ultimate issue with word-filtering those sites is that your're actively trying to herd the users into thinking how you want them to think. I absolutely hate

it that mark does the same thing on /v/, in-fact he's much much worse about word-filtering sites that say things he doesn't like.

Besides the word-filtered sites, i don't mind the other word-filters. I actually found it funny when i realized that all the people in this thread saying "shazbot"

were actually saying f-a-g-g-o-t.

>page count: 15

i wouldn't mind at all if the page count was dropped to 10

>bump limit: 700

maybe drop it down to 350

>allow a poster to delete his own posts: yes

i'm honestly not sure about this one. We currently have a problem on the /n/ board, where a poster essentially bumps weeks old threads and then deletes their posts. with that

said maybe it'd be better to turn that off

>public action log: none

you should really change that to "full log of all actions"

other than that, i'm mostly fine with all of those settings.

>>32415

I would disable "Require image/subject for OP" and I agree with the other guy that filtering websites seems like something only a control freak would do.

>>32417

>i wouldn't mind at all if the page count was dropped to 10

Are you sure? Because that would probably decrease the number of unique IPs, which is the measure by which boards are ranked. So if we're trying to get /cyber/ back into the top25, the more pages the better. Personally I don't care, but others might, so it's something to keep into account. If the reason to drop it is that it will make the bad threads go away faster, consider that even with just 10 pages, /cyber/ will remain a slow board: a shitty thread that nobody likes is still likely to stay in the catalog for weeks, and blatant spam should be reported anyway.

About allowing users to delete their own posts: sometimes it's useful as a substitute for the edit function, and for some users suffering from anxiety it can take a bit of it away. This seems like a case of punishing the good users for the actions of no-one, since we don't even have a problem with ghost bumping on /cyber/ currently.

>>32417

>i wouldn't mind at all if the page count was dropped to 10

Given the amount of threads discussing the same topic flooding the first 5 pages the limit should stay at 15.

>>32419

I see absolutely no problem banning /tripfags/

Those people are seriously annoying.

>>32419

Thats because /v/ is mostly gamergaters from the exodus. This is cyberpunk board. Not sure why this is even being brought up its irrelevant we dont need site bans. If you dont want to give a site views then thats on you to avoid it, screen it or use an archive link.

Just to be clear, I haven't changed any of the settings since getting the board. I'll post here for comments before doing anything.

>>32417

>bump limit: 700

>maybe drop it down to 350

I had considered that, but the reply limit cannot be lowered by the board owner, unfortunately. Meaning, between 350 and 750 posts, threads would be bumplocked but postable, and would take quite some time to bump off the 15th page.

I am considering lowering the page count though, so as to 404 threads earlier and get fresh content in faster.

Any input on this?

>>32442

>Any input on this?

>I am considering lowering the page count though, so as to 404 threads earlier and get fresh content in faster.

I'm down to try this. If it doesn't look like it works it can always be changed back.

Also what day would be best for people to do a movie night? How about Sunday?

>>32442

Bad idea. Fresh content isn't posted here often.

Having more pages allows us more time to save good threads bumped down by redundant threads.

>>32208

= /pol/ CyberCommand here =

Welcome to fullchan, son. Just keep in mind that this board is about a sci-fi genre and not yet another sjw+leftist+anarcho fag echochamber as few people around here would like it to be.

While dystopia being an integral part of Cyberpunk and in parts also applicable to current and future developments of especially western societies, It's not an exclusive bias to solutions and viewpoints.

In the past few months /cyberpunk/ suffered from leftist shitposting about pretty much any and everything political, seeing themselves as "true cyber" of some sort. This caused minor purges from /pol/ around here, since logic fallacies and feelings of entitlement of wannebe-hackers and half-drunk degenerates are not tolerated.

As there is /leftypol/ and /pol/, political discussions on cyber can not be censored towards favoring either way. Just stick to cyberpunk, Board Owner, and political views will endup in an equilibrium during inevitable discussions.

Remember, you're in the territory of the Moist Kraken now. Last BO stepped on one dick too much with his sublime SJW stance. Just behave and we'll be all friends.

—————————

To suggestions, then:

What I like about Lainchan was the radio. This could be a nice project for you. I've had one on my own (few years back /tech/ on halfchan) and suggest any of the big stream hubs (for security + stability, because hosting a radio is basically a catcher if done privately). Include a nice mix of topics, ranging from tech, politics, urban survival and other Cyber related things, and music of course (please no 24/7 synth pop).

Second suggestion: make a sticky about basic forms of logic and bann everyone disregarding logic. For example: If a feral leftist wigger uses an relativum imperatus to defend niggers or jews, instaban. This, of course, also applies to stray stormfags from /pol/ who often argue that procreating with a cute asian is bad, resorting to various forms of Ad Quantum.

Third suggestion: change the theme to something more blue-ish, as it makes reading more comfortable.

Ty.

>>32447

>In the past few months /cyber/ suffered from leftist shitposting about pretty much any and everything

This. Although I disagree with you on the "b&" stuff. Unless Hugbox kids or stormweenies start spamming threads for change or blatantly shitpost the hammer should be left to dust.

Yo BO, buy an ad!

>Are you sure? Because that would probably decrease the number of unique IPs

/cyber/'s too slow for that, if a thread reaches the eleventh page then it means no one posted there for a couple of weeks.

this dude is a quality poster. polmemers and mras are some of the biggest shitposters you can find, it's a shame they are so prevalent here.

/cyber/ is dead. Board gets 0-3 posts per hour these days. This thread has bumped it up to 8 pph. It doesnt even matter what you do with this board. If only there was a way to get more people to see our society has become a cyberpunk dystopia without shitting up quality.

On a more serious note, some sort of separation of the cyperpunk aesthetics topics and the cyperpunk aspects of modern society.

>>32447

>Third suggestion: change the theme to something more blue-ish, as it makes reading more comfortable.

huge NO

>>32478

stop crying you little bitch and do something then

>>32454

If I can't lower the reply limit from 750, I don't think it's a good idea to lower the bump limit from 700. It doesn't make sense for threads to be bumplocked for so long, considering the speed of this board.

>>32461

After some thinking, I think I'll leave the page limit alone for now, and just put some wording in the rules that it's okay to bump threads that haven't been bumped for a while.

>>32476

I don't trust Tox; send me an email with PGP. My key ID is 0xAAAE158025394218.

>>32481

Huge YES. Blue fonts are great around cyber related shit. Green feels like an edgy appeal to matrix.

>>32526

"Blue light, which is part of the visible light spectrum, reaches deeper into your eye and its cumulative effect can cause damage to your retina and it is connected to the development of age-related macular degeneration."

>>32526

I like my edgy appeal to matrix, thank you

>>32528

YOLO

>>32533

This i could get behind.

>>32537

Try a few different colors, and use different colors for fonts and boxes. Go for straight-up amber. Maybe make post boxes black, and page background grey?

>>32537

This shit burns my eyes out

I'm going to repeat myself again

How about we leave everything as it is and focus on the content primarily.

Alternative: why don't we ask hotwheels to let a board have more settings, I like the current settings while you guys could go full half life

I like that I can browse this board at night without ruining my eyes forever

>>32537

I like it how it is now, just yellow looks bad IMO. Post a few more ideas maybe.

>>32537

That yellow burns my eyes. Keep it dark for us shut in NEETS.

>>32537

If you want to make amber style, use:

#FFAA00 for text

#FF7700 for citation and post number link ( like this >>32537 )

#100000 for background

And also make post boxes 1px wide.

Personally, I like current one, but amber style have a right to be.

>>32526

> edgy appeal to the matrix

Old terminals had green or amber phosphor (not sure which one is oldest), that's where

it comes from, not the matrix, I'd argue that's where the matrix got the green from.

I gess that there's a portion of visitors that do not know this, but have seen the

matrix and the leet haxoring there, so you could be right as well. I don't mind the

green though.

>>32528

[citation needed]

Although I think that blue on black is harder to read most of the alternatives,

white on blue though, that would take me back to the good old bad msdos days.

>>32208

I don't think that striving to be in the top N should be a goal at all, if the board has

good content, knowledge of it would spread by word of mouth.

There is no implied correlation between activity and quality.

As for board policies and moderation, dunno, there's a lot of posts that I, personally,

would bring down the hammer on. But maybe the amount of vitriol and slurs is par for the

course for chans, I'm being this new after all.

But par for the course is not necessarily the same as an acceptable level.

It is a thin line to walk, between driving users away from overeager moderation, and

driving users away by letting the board drown in trolls and shitposts.

I have no answers here.

One thing I would enforce to a greater extent though, is the removal of duplicate threads,

>>32627

Make a thread nigga, I'll contribute.

Hello chummers.

I have stepped down as board owner because I felt that I did not have the capability to sufficiently serve this board or make it better. For almost two whole months I was out with no reliable internet access, and I felt really bad about leaving the board to stew in spam. Although I'm back, I haven't been able to implement all the things I had planned for the board, like a official youtube music playlist or more organized streams because I have literally no free time between work and sleep.

Darkengine is my friend and I trust him to help turn /cyber/ into a awesome place on the internet, a oasis of schway in the desert of shit that the internet is. However, in order to make that true, the users need to do their part by not replying to garbage and ignoring obvious bait rather than responding. Every time you see a comment that's too stupid to be genuine or feel an urge to respond to culture war drokk, reply to an interesting post or bring something cool to the thread instead. Arguing on the internet is like the Special Olympics. Don't become a part of the noise.

I relinquish all ownership of this board, but I do have a few suggestions for the current board owner:

1. change the quote on the top every once in a while.

2. keep the strict spam settings on.

3. remove the linkfilters. There isn't a need for it on this board unless a link is spammed.

>>32631

Why didn't you remove them yourself back then?

>>32408

Did it happen? I want to start hanging out online with fellow cyberfags but its hard to know when things are going to happen

>>32656

I'll make a thread tomorrow morning organizing it. I was thinking watch it Sunday, vote on what to watch until then.

Well said chummer.

Some of us should volunteer and help /cyber/ stabilize.

>>32699

What the fuark did you just fuarking say about me, you little glitch? I’ll have you know I'm top Decker for the Yak, and I’ve been involved in numerous shadowruns on Microsoft, Google, and whatever other corp you probably submit to. I have drezzed over 300 corporate AIs. I am trained in FIBUA and have more combat augs than any Razor in the Sprawl. You are nothing to me but just another deposit in the body bank. I will wipe you the fuark out with precision the likes of which has never been seen Dirtside, log my fuarking text. You think you can get away with blasting that drek at me in the matrix? Recompile, drekhead. As we chat I am pinging my posse of cowboys across the net and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, shazbot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fuarking drezzed, chummer. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can crash your wetware in over 1024 ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I a street samurai, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Yakuza and I will use it to its full extent to skrag your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little soykaf. If only you could have known what unschway retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fuarking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn yono. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fuarking drezzed, chummer.

>>32604

What people like you don't seem to understand is that allowing shitposters to exist tends to drive the good users away. It goes like this:

>User 1: We're a pretty small board already, we can't afford to lose users! Go ahead, shitpost all you want, we don't mind. :)

>User 2, 3, 4: yaaay lololol we /cyber/ now!! op is a faget i trol u xD go back 2 halfchan niggers xDD

>User 5: Well, this sucks. Now we can't have a nice thoughtful thread without these idiots ruining it. I guess it's time to find a new home.

>User 1: Where have all the good users gone? :(

I've seen it happen to other boards, and it will happen here as well. Shitposting limits a board's potential and ends up killing it.

>>32739

>>32739.

A lot of that stems from politicalbabbies here.

What if we bought an ad on 8chan that brought users to /cyber/ ?

Can board owners grant ad vouchers for their boards? Like, I'd buy a day of site-wide advertising for /cyber/ if /cyber/ would give me some equivalent ad vouchers to advertise my vidya on /cyber/

>>32772

inb4 this is a terrible idea, consider that being a featured board gave this place a lot of life in the beginning

>>32774

And to mitigate the drok that would come with that, the board could be locked for the duration of the ad campaign, so new users could only view threads, see how much high quality content there is, and bookmark us. Rather than the board being flooded with new topics and uninitiated posts. Then unlock the board a few days later once all the attention had subsided, and only the genuinely interested users remained

I care little about who runs the place, I'd just really like to see the fucktarded infighting and elitist posting stop so that we can get back to actually discussing cool shit.

>>32327

usually I go to the doctor's for an x-ray

We should honestly move to lainchan. Kalyx is a great mod and he has a 0 tolerance for shitposting. They have managed to create things like the lainzine and grow every day. If we all moved there, they could probably create more boards for us. The site is not affiliated with 8chan at all and thats a great barrier to keep shit out. We all love darkengine and he's a mod there too. Anything he does here will just take away from lainchan. IF we grouped together we could be stronger.

>>32971

do you have that reply set as a hotkey?

Sorry about the dick thread, I had failed to enable auto-refresh on the report queue tab!

I have updated the guidelines section of the rules page, adding the following three guidelines:

- don't respond to bait. that's what they want you to do! hide it, or report it if it breaks the rules.

- report threads that break the rules. don't reply; or if you feel you must reply, use sage.

- attack the argument, not the person. remember rule 3.

I have put a link to the rules page in the announcement, since it did not seem to have a link anywhere on the board before.

I also removed the board's single volunteer, as he has not logged in for over five months. As the board is somewhat slow, I am only looking for a single volunteer in a timezone between UTC-5 and UTC+5 (so they can watch the board while I'm asleep). Join the IRC channel (#cyber on Rizon) if you're interested.

I'm unstickying this thread, but of course you can keep posting here as a meta thread.

>>32969

The whole "be nice" P.C. nonsense is not fucking cyberpunk.

E.g. of how this manifests: Their non cyberpunk wordfilters fucking sucks ass.

> Their non cyberpunk language enhancers Fuuuarking is like kicking dead whales down a beach ass.

No, sorry, fuck the more SJW friendly version of /cyber/.

>The whole "be nice" P.C. nonsense is not fucking cyberpunk.

Maybe, but /cyber/ is a community, as much as chan culture doesn't like to think of itself as one (or as a culture). In particular there was one anon that was telling us about their ideas for a cyberpunk jacket, and someone else ruthlessly attacked them over every little aspect of it. That conversation didn't last long, and the board lost out on a user that was obviously excited and interested in a topic. And for what? Just because someone felt like they had The One True Way to be cyberpunk, and this person wasn't fitting their vision.

>>33082

Unfortunately I have to agree with this. I have been on lainchan for just one day and I've already seen an example of SJW-style moderation.

>>33139

I've had a couple of my posts deleted for no reason other than they disagreed with feminist ideology. I didn't attack anyone or even said anything that could reasonably be interpreted as misogynist. Fuck lainchan.

>>32969

>Kalyx is a great mod and he has a 0 tolerance for opinions he disagrees with.

Fixed that for you.

>>33154

Yeah you were shitposting then you deleted your own thread like a bitch. It's really no surprise to find you here bitching even more about it.

Hello fellow shazbots!

Since this obviously is a meta thread I would like to put my weight in it. Let me first say that I am not a major contributor on any board. What rustles my jimmies is that I do like to lurk both >>>/cyber/ and lainchan. They both have been filling my needs since the death of megachan which I fucking loved. Personally I feel like lainchan is more like 420chan which I do not like. While there is good content the whole atmosphere is too circlejerkish.

Now I really have liked more /cyber/ atmosphere and for a principle I really like the idea that I have options where to post. I am fearing that it has been taken away from me. Now then again maybe this has been illusion since old BO seems to be in the lainchans irc-cirlejerk.

But anyway you can disregard my opinions since I am not a huge content maker or I have not came here from 4chan who seems to think that 8chan should be their refugecamp because of the drama from there. Thus my needs are somewhat different. Also I newer got the irc-circlejerk or the whole serious business of the boards which many people seem today bring forth in the chans. I like the free flow of the different ideas and discussion which is against of the many users idea what their imageboard should be in 8chan. Personally I don't think that has been a problem in /cyber/

Anyway I fucking miss megachan. Also the previous BO was pretty cool guy because he did not intervene and was not a tripfag. Thanks for that

Also this >>32263 guy gets it

>>33480

kalyx says some crazy stuff. He likes affiliates a lot.

>>33485

I'm not here to turn this board into lainchan. I'm here to keep spam and off topic threads out of the catalog, because your previous BO has shit to take care of AFK. I have not changed the rules and I enabled the modlog so you can keep me accountable to this.

>>33480

jinteki.xtrabutthert

>>33480

Anyone here wanting an active cyberpunk board should look to lainchan. the only reason /cyber/ was made was to be a response to lainchan (which is older). Jinteki didn't even exist back then. It was only the cyb general on 4chan which you did not run, and then lainchan.

you're being a cunt to kalyx, lainchan and most importantly anyone here left on /cyber/ by starting shit over there and crying about it here.

I do it out of habit now if it's anything pertaining to me or to jinteki. I wouldn't do it for BO posts, there would be no point. I still post as User frequently.

>only reason /cyber/ was made was to be a response to lainchan

Actually a dozen others including myself migrated here day 1 because sper/g/s would kill the cyberpunk general and gullible mods caving into the shitposters crying began deleting them. Not because we plotted to spite you. Ask /tech/ how bad it is there.

Why are lainions so content with hysterically sharing their opinions about /cyber/ inhabitants on /cyber/? Yet here you are suggesting we join you? Strange.

Since the board wipe every thread spent discussing our options to improve /cyber/ got railed by suspicious anons blaming /pol/, spouting "why aren't you like lainchan muh feelings drop your keyboards and surrender, you'll never overthrow the might of the lain empire all hail kalyx" or begging for heavy moderation.

>starting shit on lain

Lain came here first with the intention of drowning the infant before it became a threat. And >>33480 shedding light on that confirms my worries the past few months. Many of your users came like good foot soldiers shilling it up.

I never visited lainchan until after /cyber/ existed, albiet your site has quality content occasionally it's not worth dealing with kim jong un. I stand with the Jinteki guy, again I'll state /cyber/ should have an original member leading us however DE deserves his chance as BO with the exception nothing spirals out of hand.

If the day comes /cyber/ is missing I'll rebuild the board myself or with trustworthy crew.

>>33513

No one cares enough about you for a trip to be necessary.

Ｋｉｌｌ ｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ

Reminder that the Jinteki dude got butthurt because everybody on Lainchan said his unicode bullshit was retarded and made reading his stuff unnecessarily hard.

He then proceeded with calling everybody a posers/roleplayers when he is the one trying to look cool through a font.

Now he has come here to cry even more about the board owner.

>>33518

>/cyber/ got railed by suspicious anons blaming /pol/

I am one of those Anons. I can confirm I am a D&D disinformation and discord, not Dungeons and Dragons agent sent here by lainchan in cooperation with the JIDF to disrupt /pol/'s glorious imperial grapplehold of 8chan.

In all seriousness, /pol/ shit is cancerous because it is cancerous in the literal meaning of the word: it starts with one post, it generates replies because politics are naturally bait-y and then before you realize you have full blown methastasis in a thread that was completely unrelated to the topic now being discussed.

I have never advocated for the use of stricter moderation because this is an imageboard after all, and imageboards are supposed to be full of mean people who love shitposting, but you all autists should keep your dick in your pants and count to ten before getting so triggered at any mention of politics you don't like. Open a thread about politics in cyberpunk or go to the politics board, but please, try not to kill the very little non-meta threads we have here.

Also SEL is not cyberpunk, get over it.

Blatant samefag. You're not even trying to hide it. Fuck off, Kalyx. Go back to your roleplay site where you can pretend to be paranoid while using Botnet Fiber™ with your Apple® iPad™.

>>33584

>>33584

Wew m8, way to prove my point in your angst.

"You're all tech illiterate shazbots incapable of rational thought but please come to us and allow our competition to die".

It's easy to replace ignorance with knowledge, threads we admittedly lack now were great months ago nobody followed up on because of 8chans own prior inconveniences.

"The Jew lainion is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a shill and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

>>33593

One guy posting le happy merchant isn't a problem. The political differences on /cyber/ were clear long ago when the hugbox kids threw cluster tactrums about a "maen ;(( elitists scumbs" view of Government.

The offtopic discussion is stirred up from both ends, not /pol/ solely. Political discussion is an insignificant fault to be focusing on, not to say it shouldn't belong in it's own thread.

>>33559

Glad you understand.

>>33607

Now this is shitposting.

>>33608

well /pol/ users are known for their shitposting. their worn out regurgitated memes, their small list of standard responses. so when complaining about that, they're complaining about shitposting and then saying they just want a hug box is unfair and unjust and basically perpetuates the raging shit that has now defined 8chan.

>>33622

lainchan is full of anime cancer

>>33609

Known by who? Leftypol? pol jokes are an insignificant volume of "shitposts" here.

>saying they just want a hug box is unfair and unjust

Spare the bullshit, as if lain and reddit don't circlejerk in harmony.

If you don't enjoy the freeroam here, return to either place. Don't taint our board with propaganda.

>>33623

anime cancer is good though

>>33626

how about you go back to reddit where they all have usernames you fucking tripfag.

keep dismissing people's complaint like a little brat.

>pol jokes are an insignificant volume of "shitposts" here.

well apparently not but of course everybody who complains about it shouldn't be here in the first place right? so that leaves only the shitposters. quite a convenient solution!

tripfags are the biggest cancer on any chan. shut your fucking mouth and learn how to be anonymous you fucking ego tripper.

>>33626

>If you don't enjoy the freeroam here

and nice straw man again btw, everybody who complains about turd "jokes" like le happy merchant, various good goy comments, adding random ™ behind words and posting oy vey is against political freedom and wants to turn it all into a small hugbox with only one narrative right..

if your only argument is a fallacy then you should seriously question whatever it is you believe.

>>33641

and it's often not even the jokes themselves, it's entering a discussion, replying something insinuating like "good goy" and then thinking you made a good point.

this is just an example, everybody knows the kind of posting I'm talking about. (except for maybe the oblivious tripshazbot)

>>33631

Yes, good at showing who is just a poser and who is a real cyberpunk

>mfw everyone suddenly went retarded

Chill the fuck out, ye cunts. I think there is clearly a conflict of interest now, that suddenly everyone is like that. It would be best to transfer ownership to that jinteki owner.

>>33647

but he's a cunt.

>>33602

>One guy posting le happy merchant isn't a problem

Well, maybe a single guy isn't, but if you were in /g/ when that maymay became popular, you will understand it can get out of hand pretty quickly. I remember when some threads reached bump limit with 90% "oy vey! Anuddah shoah! and variations of le happy merchant macro. Needless to say, actual discussion in those threads was impossible.

>not to say it shouldn't belong in it's own thread.

Politics are important in cyberpunk, but I am afraid retards would end up discussing politics of the real world instead of fiction.

>>33648

Let him be cunt, but so there is no quarrel thereof. /Cyber/ had no board owner present online for 4 months now. Lets see what jinteki does as BO. If under his command the quality rise, he stays.

>>33657

I'd be tempted to start by wordfiltering filtering "jew" and "cuck" to "Corporate Executive", "shoah" to "market crash", "degenerate" to "awesome", and "degenerates" to "cool kids". It decreases the bait factor, gives me something to chuckle at, and will hopefully make shitposting less satisfying.

>>33659

Now that would be shitposting. I support the idea.

However

>"degenerate" to "awesome"

Awesome is a dumb word even for nowadays' standards. Change it for schway or chromatic.

>>33660

I was also considering just "cool", and it works with filtering "degenerates" to "cool kids". Alternately, "rad".

>>33659

Also

>filtering "cuck" to Corporate Executive

Please don't do this, otherwise corpcuck would lose all its meaning.

>>33663

If possible, I'd like filter "corpcuck" to itself, in the hopes that it wouldn't be affected by the other filter. I'm not entirely sure how filters work, it'd take some testing. I'm quite willing to take feedback about the idea.

>>33637

>leaving everyone but the shitposters

Now this is grasping at straws

>>33637

Where did I say it's against political freedom?

I'm advocating /pol/ isn't a problem to be focusing on. Hugbox was a reference to the anarchbabbys bawwing for /pol/ to leave in the compass thread, which hasn't stopped. Figure out the difference between "shitposting" and a jew remark regarding people stealing data because you're making a boogeyman based on nothing than secondhand reactionary macros.

Reread >>33602

>>33653

Agreed that was shitposting out of hand. But why couldn't the discussion be real world?

>>33659

so you want to copy lainchan.

>>33681

>But why couldn't the discussion be real world?

It would be more or less like dumping catgirls into /tg/. Sure, you could do it under the disguise of "inspiration for worldbuilding", but there are better boards for that.

>>33681

Except these actually make sense, unlike the example cited at >>33082.

>>33681

The website that wordfilters "shit" to "soykaf"? No.

Why are you even still here, Kalyx?

>>33693

>Everyone who likes lainchan is kalyx.

>>33689

Not sure what you're trying to say there

The TPP could be discussed.

>>33697

Oh. Oh yes, indeed. I thought you were talking about another kind of politics, not exactly things like the TPP or Net Neutrality. Hell, I would say the TPP may be the beginning of a corporate dystopia in the real world, so it is very related. I would even support a thread about political systems in cyberpunk, given that wild ancap systems, anarchy, police states and even specifically the USSR are big things in many cyberpunk settings.

However, some time ago we had a thinly veiled USA elections thread. That's shit that simply isn't related to the board, even if you try to disguise it as "hai guise, whats the most cyberpunk candidate?".

>>33699

>TPP may be the beginning of a corporate dystopia

The secret agreement threatens the openness of the internet. Depresses me how unaware the public is man.

I remember that election thread, be it hypocritical of me to say it shouldn't of been there after participating :p

>>33714

>The secret agreement threatens the openness of the internet

Not only that. It pretty much threatens everything we know and love today, and it's the main key point behind the New World Order conspiracy. If we thought the government was bad I can't wait to see what we will think of our new corporate overlords.

>I remember that election thread, be it hypocritical of me to say it shouldn't of been there after participating :p

I will admit I posted once there because I am a shazbot who gets baited by politics fairly easily. Still doesn't mean it wasn't a shitpost.

>>33643

>acts edgy on an anonymous imageboard

Passing Lurker who will surely totally see that your in the right here.

"I'm angry because you said something negative about my favorite board and the kind of users it produces."

>So far all you've managed to do with your posts is providing a good argument for stricter moderation.

>If I were the BO of /cyber/, I would have derezzed you 10 times already.

"Man If I was the admin I would ban everybody that said anything bad about /pol/!"

"DELETE THIS!"

Yeah no dude, he pretty much nailed it on the head about you.

>>33659

>wordfiltering filtering "jew"

Cyborg. I think the Cyborgs did this!

>and "cuck" to "Corporate Executive",

Slave bot. Corpcuck to corporate slave bot.

>"degenerate" to "awesome"

Need something better for this one. We need new made-up word.

Also, "/pol/" should be changed to "slums", "white race" to executive office.

>>33741

/pol/ should be renamed to "trailer park" or some other white trash-esque place.

>>33742

I like it.

>DarkEngine hasn't responded to thread

$5 says he won't give ownership up.

>>33785

I haven't been responding because the thread devolved into a lainchan vs /cyber/ catfight. There's really no need for this. If you like /cyber/, stay on /cyber/. If you like lainchan, go to lainchan. It's not any more complicated than that.

Since there has been so much drama about this, I am considering asking for board owner applications and giving the board away to the best applicant. I'm not keen on the idea of giving the board away to the jinteki guy without considering other potential BOs.

I took this board as a favor to monoelain, and I feel I would be letting him down if I gave the board to a guy whom I couldn't trust to keep intact.

>>33790

Missed the IP/user ID? Ｉ＇ｍ Ａｋｉｔａｒｏ， ｔｈｅ ＂ｊｉｎｔｅｋｉ ｇｕｙ＂．

And while I completely agree with your first statement there, Kalyx does not seem to.

I'm all for the idea, although you should run everything by monoelain first, if he's not lurking here right now.

Oyabun, could you fix the board's CSS? Considering pomf.se no longer exists and the recent imgur breach, I think it would be a good idea to remove those lines from the file.

The board still looks as well without them (although the background pattern looked pretty dank. A shame it's lost forever) so it shouldn't be a problem.

>>33950

Yeah, it looked fairly similar, but IIRC the dot pattern was much smaller and each dot had a different opacity.

I think the archives may have some of the "beta" version of the pattern, but I am unsure if the final one was actually uploaded with a post.

>>33953

>I think the archives may have some of the "beta" version

Mono had a link to the original CSS and stuff but it's dead.

Jesus Christ BO, do you even come here anymore?

Why the fuck is this thread still here? >>33985

If you're going to refuse to hand over BO to someone who actually comes here, at least do your job.

>>34099

I check the catalog every so often, and I get notified of reports immediately. That thread is still there because nobody reported it.

Remember the first two guidelines:

- don't respond to bait. that's what they want you to do! hide it, or report it if it breaks the rules.

- report threads that break the rules. don't reply; or if you feel you must reply, use sage.

Instead of posting "this thread sucks," consider reporting it.

Regardless, the thread is now bumplocked.

>>34118

Report window is a pain because the CSS makes the text invisible, so you get two oddly-placed text boxes and a captcha.

So when are you going to start taking board ownership applications, especially given that you're only doing this as a favor to monoelain?

>>34127

Indeed, I wonder why is it taking so long? Maybe he is waiting until people forget the board ownership change+drama, so the interest dies out and there are less candidates competing for it.

>>34155

>>34127

I talked to /cyber/'s previous board owner last night. He will be free to take the board back in mid-October. I will be giving the board to him when he becomes available.

In the event that, for some reason, he becomes unable to reassume the position of board owner, I will begin accepting board owner applications instead.

>>34159

Sorry for the tease, but doesn't it feel better to keep us informed about it?

>board owner hasn't done shit to fix CSS

>no improvement from moderator-level or admin-level for increasing traffic or quality

>monoelain still isn't back

cyberrevolt when

>>32208

pls step down as BO otherwise the board is effectively dead.

>>33601

this nigga gets it

>>35981

>>35982

Monoelain is back tho. Couldn't you tell? Just look at how much he's doing to help and improve the board.

>>35983

Yeah, no it's so much better than lainchan! Surely we are cooler than that circlejerk. A m I r i g h t , g u y s ?
