No.1433
>>1430It's not about that. It's about getting all bent out of shape about it. That is why you will always be nothing more than children. You don't even know how to leave well enough alone, do you? I can understand your need to not see porn all the time, but banning it is not the answer. I find the whole thing to be purposeless since people can simply talk about lewd things. Just ignore it if you don't want to see it. Can't ignore it? Then you're the one that has a problem. All this is going to create is communist witch hunts and eventually whittling everything down to the children again, just like before. If that is what you want, then go ahead, I can't stop you. I do not believe that is what you wanted to happen, though. Not to mention there is already a childrens' pokemon board here. I just wanted to be civil. I know that porn is not necessary for that, but banning it just makes haters and the more haters you get, the more we become /vp/ again. The choice is yours, I won't really care either way.

>I just wanted to be civil. I know that porn is not necessary for thatThen get over it, bitch.
>but banning it just makes haters and the more haters you get, the more we become /vp/ again./vp/ is a great board, the only ones who do disagree are the furries and underaged b&s who can't comprehend either posting their porn elsewhere on the site or going to a different site entirely to jerk off to Lucario fucking Pikachu.

I think people would be more compelled to participate in your board if you weren't such a dick in your promotion of it.
'sides that just looking at they catalog all I see is greentext and memes. Most of us are here on /poke/ because we wanted to get away from all that shit. That 9gag reddit shit is the exact reason I quit /vp/, and your board looks exactly like /vp/, just with far less activity.

/pk/ is shilling HARD on /vp/ though. I remember not too long ago /poke/ tried that once as well and we shot up to about 60 IP's before coming back down to 40ish. I reckon most of /pk/s current IPs are just curious /vp/oreons checking it out of curiosity, and it remains to be seen how many of them will stay afterwards.
If it works it works, I guess, but so far /pk/ doesn't really offer anything /poke/ doesn't already. Only big difference is /poke/ asks furfaggotry to be spoilered without actually banning it, and in the long run that seems the best option. /pocketmon/ died because it didn't allow any porn, /pk/ might scare off folks for openly showing stuff akin to zoophilia. Compared to that /poke/ offers a nice middle ground compromise that gives everyone what they want, which makes it the best alternative in my eyes.
No.6218
>>6207But /pk/ has reformed some errors in their promotion, basically a BTFO for /poke/ now
>>6212/pk/'s owner seems to have a burning dedication to not stop advertising until the board is at an ideal state. Besides, he has a VPN. You can do some damage with that. Look at Goodrafag.

Compared to that /poke/ offers a nice middle ground compromise that gives everyone what they want, which makes it the best alternative in my eyes.But that's wrong. If you read/re-read their sticky, it clearly explains how their approach is different, and why /poke/ approached things wrong. Also how they try to go for the best win-win solution, and how to contain porn with out censoring it and say "YOU'LL GET B&. WE DON'T LIKE IT. CENSORSHIP'S THE SOLUTION FTW!". They even fucking recommend going to other boards if they don't like the porn.
No.6226
>>6218>Also how they try to go for the best win-win solution, and how to contain porn with out censoring it and say "YOU'LL GET B&. WE DON'T LIKE IT. CENSORSHIP'S THE SOLUTION FTW!"You seem confused. Asking people to spoil their lewds isn't censorship, mate. You're still allowed to post it, the mods just ask that you keep in mind that not everyone who comes to a Pokémon discussion imageboard wants to see a trainer and their Gardevoir going at it. Hell, if it's accidental the mod even put up a nice way of letting them know so you don't have to get banned, because they're giving you the benefit of the doubt. And "keep it to a minimum" is no different from /pk/s Rule 4 "one thread per topic", except /pk/ encourages the creation of Generals which on /vp/ created cancerous subcommunities this way.
I was there in 2010 when /tr/ was a lawless no man's land, and I saw how the unregulated spammed porn threads got to the point where the community begged moot for moderation by 2011. /pk/s great solution is to repeat the exact same mistake that almost got /vp/ scrapped that year, and will so staunchly defend this position to the point where it encourages division over several boards, all in the name of muh freedoms.
I'd like to see history not repeat itself, so I hope I'm wrong about this. But at this stage the only outcome I foresee is more people leaving /pk/ over time until nothing BUT the porn dumpers remain. So they'll likely come to /poke/ or whatever alternative's sprung up in the meantime, where everyone is free to discuss what they want while still factoring in other people's sensibilities. We'll see how it goes.

>>6957Worst /vp/ got was forfrees trying to censor Showderp by removing any mention of the Good Goy moveset, and that was after the exodus. But in principle, joot being okay with arbitrarily and unilaterally censoring stuff without communicating affects the entire site. And while a point could be made that halfchan never officially was about free speech, it definitely was about anonymous speech. And that too went out the window with joot banning all use of proxies, VPNs and TOR exit nodes. Most boards may not have been under active siege, but nonetheless their fundamental character as a halfchan board was compromised.
tl;dr: not muh halfchan, therefore not muh /vp/.

>>5058>>6948>>6970/vp/ seems almost completely immune to the exodus. A lot of the threads depend on some level of activity (Showderp, generals, fangame projects, etc.), so people flock to the most active site which halfchan. Most posters don't like the porn stuff so that turns some people off as well. Even when 4chin was down yesterday, Showderp went to an archival site instead of 8chan. It would take something crazy happening to /vp/ directly get people to switch over. Remember, this is a fandom where people are used to getting a dicking by gamefreak every gen and still sticking around.
