/tg/ - Traditional Games

September thread: https://archive.is/AINQ7

November thead: https://archive.is/q7GM6

In case you want to pull up old conversations or bring my attention to an issue or question I didn't resolve before.

So, when are we really getting on Next, then?

The ghostbin just says

>Development time will be spent […] to bring the beta up to a usable point as quickly as possible.

Are we back on Valve time?

>>204438

Actually, according to >>>/next/3056

>I am still extraordinarily optimistic and believe that we can transition before the New Year. If the site is significantly stabilized before then, we will begin moving more adaptable communities like /sp/ over to get a feel for how the site handles load.

>>204438

Well, the beta site is currently down for maintenance, and Josh said he stayed up for 3 days trying to get the migration to work.. So who knows.

Either way, any thread you archive can be archived again and it should create multiple snapshots by date on archive.is

Hey guys, just wanted to know in case things go pear shaped with the migration to infinity never, we have a /tg/ board you guys can use as a refuge if when this shit stops working.

https://livebunker.rocks/chat/tg

>>204444

nice numerals, seems pretty spiffy.

>>204447

I just don't want these communities to break up because Josh fails it and hotwheels doesn't care anymore.

TBH, I think they should simply migrate text only. Pics, webms and documents are easy to replace and they slow down whole process.

>>204469

Not entirely, there are a number of archive boards made specifically to prevent the loss of important but low use images/vids

>>204633

I think I'm going to try to redo the swirly bits as the gaps are bugging the fuck out of me, and sooth your autism with a all-down-wording version.

>>204639

Interesting.

I love how names and keep getting darker and more indisputably evil as this saga continues. From raptor jesus to morgoth.

>>204638

Ah-heh-heh-heh, I suppose you're soothing both our autismal issues.

>>204638

Ah-heh-heh-heh, I suppose you're soothing both our autismal issues.

>from research: Bismarck plus overt charisma is a force to cow even generals

>>204707

Tumbles, tumbles all the way down.

>>204707

There's this RPG called "Tales from Floating Vagabond", that tells the story about various beings meeting in a space-bar located just on the edge of the universe.

>>204639

So divide up the community more?

Okay, might be a good idea at the very least for everyone to save what they can of the OC on the board, then re-post it in new threads in the Next Infinity. That and if archive.is can be used effectively, use it to keep a record of everything as well. Just point people to the archive.is snapshot once we move on to the new system.

But his posts are so bad they still deserve it.

>>205361

Which is why his posts should be immortalized instead of deleted.

Also, the servers have been slowing down really badly, so I think we might be approaching another migration attempt, if Josh was serious about getting that shit done and over with before the end of December.

Josh was acting like he'd hang himself if it aint done by new years. But then he went to go hang out with the 2ch/8ch staff at the japanese christmas party banging cheap whores and getting drunk so who knows.

Warning

There is a stirring at halfchan. It may be nothing, but Hirsoshima Nagasaki is putting out some cryptic speech. Stuff like "It's getting cold, isn't it?" and "Your time is limited."

I recommend we talk here >>204444 , should the worst come to pass and halfchan is nuked, fullchan flooded. There are plenty of more profitable things the guy could do with those servers.

>>205856

Maybe's it's some New Year's gimmick?

>>205887

Some threads in there direly needing love, yes.

>read that as "the Quiet Cancer"

>sounds like it'd make either a nasty fantastic illness, or a good electronic rock band-name

>>205856

I thought "It's getting cold, isn't it?" was a cryptic reference to how a few of the boards were freezing up for a while, about the same time half/pol/ was allegedly taken down.

I've never seen "Your time is limited" though.

>>205915

It was on his twitter, @Hirotxt

>>205915

>>205937

you know, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was planning a purge of boards?

4chan was already gentrified once to make the site appealing for sale, I think it's gonna happen again soon.

>>205940

How do you even do that?

>>205943

Sanitize it, facebook account integration, market it as some sort of hookup/gossip/news site.

They could make it happen, but it would fail.

Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread #1 - Sept - https://archive.is/0hDGP

>>206593

Since you've mentioned it, when should a new QTDDTOT get put up? The second one was made when the first hit about post #350, but the first kept itself alive for quite a while longer than that, despite threads supposedly deteriorating by that point.

Did Chrow bump the thread limit back up?

>>206672

See

>>175887

>>>/next/3556 New information from Hotwheels.

>>206677

Welp. Here we go.

>>206674

Oh, right, I forgot BOs can just edit posts. I'm a dipshit.

>>206790

I'm wrestling with the site right now just to edit that post with new information, but the servers choke every time I try to submit the edited version.

I'm also starting to toy with the beta /tg/ on beta.8ch.net/tg

I actually have access to banners, flags, spoiler images, and other settings.

For those who haven't checked, we do seem to have a rough port over from the failed migration.. So unless this next migration catches up on the last few weeks, we're going to lose a lot of new posts and threads, but we won't be losing everything.

Speaking of the new site, I used to be somewhat okay with CSS, but I don't think I'm going to be able to cook up anything that will fix the issue with infinity's default appearance.

Do we have any web design wizards amongst us who can help?

>>206799

>beta.8ch.net/tg

Everything is less clear to read, maybe it's spacing but I can't put my finger on it

The arrow is replaced by an obnoxious clipboard

I can't even open the options menu

Shit sucks.

I'd copy past whatever /tech/ decides to implement.

To lighten things a little… Spotted Virt shitting up half-chan's /tg/.

It is to laugh.

Yep. Be the change you want to see, believe in the blah blah get along little faggot.

>>207215

I have been here for some time already; if you ever see any threads about The Strange and the Cypher System, those would be mine.

>>207259

I'd guess it comes down to money. There aren't many that have both the (financial) ability and inclination to pay for hosting a server.

>>207284

There was enough interest in keeping the site itself afloat, before and after patreon got butthurt. Paying for an archive server wouldn't be in the same price area, would it?

>>207259

Warosu and 4plebs are still online.

I've started cycling the 1D4chan links so that they go to there instead.

>>207259

Stop saying "we" and start saying "I".

>>207259

Stop saying "we" and start saying "I"..

Still migrating, I guess.

>>207453

On the last letter, almost done.

>>207438

>Are I that thick?

Yeah, that solved it.

They're starting the killswitch process.

/v/ supposedly is the first board to get switched.

The migrated threads can be seen on the beta site, for those who are interested.

Oh… one last bit of cleaning to do… sent a report on some CP spam.

>>207613

Apparently Josh forgot to turn on spam protections on the migrated boards, and everything on the Next beta got spammed, which has incurred a delay.

>>207619

Hah! It's even like forgetting to turn the gellar field on.

>>207626

>>207619

It wasn't so much that he forgot to do it, more that he didn't know how.

Looks like Josh has started to go nuclear. Shit's going wrong all over the place with the migration.

If you need your /tg/ fix, we've still got livechan and endchan

Got set up as end/tg/'s BO on New Year's Eve, actually.

It's missing some features and it's not entirely stable, but it's an option.

It's a mystery to everybody!

>>207730

Just had some weird cloudflare fuck up and got a failed redirect to the beta site when trying to access this board's catalog. This might be it lads.

HOLD ON TO YOUR ANUS'

For those who care, potential happening. China stocks are crashing, automatic system closed it early, gave US stocks one hell of a shock the very moment they opened.

>>207822

And… what has this to do with this place?

>>207828

Little, thus its in the meta thread.

>>207835

The meta thread is for discussion about the board itself. The stock market is of little relevance to either /tg/ or the operation thereof.

What's your take on the official update, Chrow? Do we stay here, or start using the beta and be done with it?

>>207850

Wait, what does this have to do with what's going on right this instant?

How is this good?

>>207895

HW is still alive?

>>207972

>drama started on /v/

I don't think I can keep up with all this shit. What are they doing now?

>>207979

>>207972

We have our options, but now we need information on those options.

>>207979

My understanding is that he started lying about endchan being a botnet and then lied that he had filtered the word "endchan" and just generally pissing off /v/ like he usually does.

>>207992

So, taking unnecessarily desperate measures to put the situation "back in his hands"? Or, if it's not true on any count, not helping to soothe the furor?

>>207992

Who? Josh or Mark?

>>207990

I think the best option would be to keep our pulses on both Infinity and End, since we aren't entirely sure what may end up happening to the both of them.

We would need to, as a community, pick one or the other to sit our butts down until the dust settles, and we may also need to devise a third option in case both Infinity and End bottom out on us.

For what it's worth, I have heard some spooky stuff about Infinity/am/ through /a/ (not that it's entirely related to us or anything), but I'm not sure if it's entirely factual. I'm in the middle of shit right now, so I'll have to come back to that in a little while if I get the chance.

>>208009

Mark

>>207999

Apparently one of his "dev friends" convinced him endchan was a botnet. After that he talked to the person who hosts endchan and then removed the filter. Then he put it back on for some reason, and then removed it again after talking to endchan's host again.

Fuck if I know what his motivations were. It's likely he was as confused as everyone else.

>>208009

>I think the best option would be to keep our pulses on both Infinity and End, since we aren't entirely sure what may end up happening to the both of them.

No reason not to.

For what it's worth, I've spent a decent amount of time on IN's beta, and it's much better than current infinity in most regards. My only real complaint is the interface, but that's pretty easy to fix. There's still a decent chance Josh will manage to fuck everything, but since Hotwheels is more involved now it seems less likely.

>For what it's worth, I have heard some spooky stuff about Infinity/am/ through /a/ (not that it's entirely related to us or anything), but I'm not sure if it's entirely factual. I'm in the middle of shit right now, so I'll have to come back to that in a little while if I get the chance.

I'd be interested to hear this.

QTDDTOT #2 - Nov - https://archive.is/1VAM9

Awaiting reports of spookiness and further information.

>>208011

>I'd be interested to hear this.

Okay, here's the thing, this isn't really that spooky now that I've had some time to sit down and work through everything. But still, I guess I might as well go through with it.

See this thread: >>>/a/400548

The basic gist of it is:

>/am/ is a splinter board created because some anons don't like the mods

>/am/ is basically a subsidiary of /leftypol/, as claimed by the /leftypol/ on /k/ post

>I want to say it's this here >>>/k/282859 , but I could be wrong, I'm having a hard time finding anything that specifically says /leftypol/ is in bed with /am/

>now roll over to Infinity Next, and we find that /am/ is higher up than /a/, meaning that /am/ will be the first board most anons will find if they want animu

Which is all well an interesting.

Except

Between the time that post in the /a/ thread was made and this post was made, IN/a/ jumped ahead of IN/am/, which means I'm just making an ass of myself now.

Still, this leads me to my original point, that these /leftypol/ goons seem like they've already built a nest there.

Like I said, really not as exciting as at first glance, but it's still something we should keep in mind.

>>208022

>snort

So, they're playing Boris, Nastasia, and Fearless Leader right now, delusions of grandeur and bungling included.

>>208022

>/am/ is a splinter board created because some anons don't like the mods

>/am/ is basically a subsidiary of /leftypol/, as claimed by the /leftypol/ on /k/ post

When it was first created, I don't recall much of a /leftypol/ presence on /am/, though I could be remembering it wrong. Did that change?

I wouldn't doubt it, at the least. I went to /am/ pretty recently and remember seeing a few threads complaining about /kind/ being "rulecucks."

There's a decent chance /am/ being higher than /a/ wasn't even intentional. The userbase of /am/ might just be more on-board with Infinity Next, so they migrated first.

They'd have to be retarded to expect a plot like that to work anyway, since /a/ has a larger userbase and has the advantage of having a board name that's recognizable to people who browsed older imageboards.

Still, though, something to watch out for. It'd be pretty amusing if the alternative boards have some plot to usurp the larger ones.

>>208046

To clarify on management:

At the moment, /tg/ is a self-sustaining operation, with a proper owner. Those of us here are the moment need to stay as a group.

The shitty part is the 8chan administration, as we've known for some time. The Endchan admins? That's where were really have no idea.

What truly irritates me is the fact that it almost feels like, after not even two full years, we're once again being driven about. I'm not one for conspiracies, but at this point, I wouldn't be surprised of Hotwheels, m00t, Josh, and everyone else haven't always been on the same side. It's certainly how I would do it, if I wanted to splinter apart an anonymous group online: which begs the question, then, of who the target is.

I haven't paid attention to hotwheels' doings, or Josh's, at all. What's going on?

>>208051

Hotwheels is more or less irrelevant to 8chan now, but he keeps tabs and codes here and there.

Josh is trying to port us to the new software.

Trying

>>208052

And what of the 'same side as m00t' thought? Idle speculation or have they shown signs of radfem/SJW cancer?

>>208049

>endchan admins

I've been lurking in their IRC for a bit and from what I've seen they're just talking about coding shit.

>>208052

Isn't Hotwheels up and about now?

>>208054

>have they shown signs of radfem/SJW cancer?

They wouldn't have to if they were in on it since the beginning.

Not that I'm implying they're in on it, I'm just saying.

>>208054

>radfem/SJW cancer?

They'd have to be completely braindead to do anything of the sort. Not that I wouldn't describe SJWs as being braindead.

>>208049

>it almost feels like, after not even two full years, we're once again being driven about

If we are being driven about, I don't think it is the administration's doing. Hotwheels seems to genuinely want 8chan to succeed. Josh might be fucking up, but he's been fixing his mistakes. It seems more so the hysteria around Next is the driving force. The software definitely works for boards that aren't /v/-sized, like /tg/. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the issue, but I don't see that large of a problem with Next.

The endless FUD spread about it seems to be the largest factor in dis-unifying the boards.

I started cleaning up some of the MRA argument bullshit in the primitive fantasy thread, and then when I started tracing it back, I realized half the thread was arguing about MRAs.

The fuck am I supposed to do about that, guy who reported it?

>>205629

Merry Xmas Chrow <3 <3

>>208652

Let's wait for the 2ch folks before we start running around like headless chickens.

>>208652

Let's be honest… None of us are surprised.

>>208700

I'd expected that there was something wrong after so many days of silence. I didn't expect something that dramatic.

>>208652

>Project is so rushed even the hardware starts to shit the bed

Jesus fuck, maybe now they'll get a clue that you should make sure the end site is stable. I know it'll piss a lot of people off but I honestly think the only way any form of site transfer will work is if we don't try and save everything on EVERY GODDAMN BOARD and just cross over onto a blank slate with the same mods in charge of the same boards.

If that fucker would just slow his roll, 8chan is crumbling but it's not outright falling down around our ears, Josh needs to take his time and make a quality project instead of trying to rush everyone over on an unstable alpha website.

So what's the gameplan now? Drop us back down to 10 pages

>>208799

Next actually runs fine normally. Josh set it up on a server other than the one the beta uses and redirected all of the beta trafic to it and it ran perfectly, This means that the issue is either with the hardware of the server or the way he set it up. Hardware is almost certainly not the case.

>>208799

Or the fact there is a concerted effort to spike traffic by people looking to disrupt operations of the site.

Particularly boards with strong Gamergate presences.

This might not be a program issue.

>>208865

So it's a siege again?

>>208865

From what Josh's indicated, it doesn't seem to be anything close to malicious. Just a misconfiguration.

>>208869

>From what Josh's indicated, it doesn't seem to be anything close to malicious. Just a misconfiguration.

In other words, Hanlon's razor. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity, or in this case Josh's utter incompetence.

>>208940

I also don't think this is entirely Josh's fault, since he wasn't the only one to configure the server. When he did set it up from scratch on his own, it worked.

But it's definitely partially his fault, at least.

>>209007

He actually tweeted earlier that they might be being DDoS'd, but deleted it later.

That said, I really doubt this is a DDoS, since there doesn't seem to be anything indicating it. System resources aren't going any higher than 50%. I believe the beta is hosted on the same network as regular 8chan. Regular 8chan isn't lagging terribly, so it probably means that the issue isn't a DDoS.

https://notehub.org/346di

It seems like Odili found what the problem was.

ETA ~ a week

>>209208

tl;dr Josh made a lot of amateurish project management fuck ups, but there's still hope for the project and 8chan isn't dying yet.

So, take a good look at anything past page 15, because I'm going to set us back to normal settings

>>209208

Gotta love how he calls Odil a parasite when he's the one that solved the mystery of Josh's incompetence

>>209287

Did I misread? How is he calling him a parasite?

>>209289

Odil is one of the people running endchan.

>>209298

Oh.

It doesn't seem like Josh is calling him a parasite and more he's calling everyone shilling for the various other websites parasites.

Unless Odil is doing that.

>>209334

>will be a plan to depose board owners who have earned the enmity of their entire board

Mind saying how you plan to implement this? Any way I can think of doing it could be very easily abused.

>because they're tired of the reckless faggotry upstairs

Are you talking about BOs or administration?

If administration, what is the issue with 8chan's current administration?

How do we know endchan will be any better?

>>209334

>all the while he's banning people posting endchan for "spam" and "revolt" and blocking people who correct him on Twitter

>myhandscantholdallthisheresay.png

Sorry… nice move though trying to split up the community. Vulture.

>>209339

>He wants 8chan to sell a lot of ads

Then he is the largest moron I've ever met.

There's absolutely no way an imageboard is going to get enough advertisers on board to make money off of it. Everyone knows this.

Fucking 4chan couldn't support itself off of advertising.

I don't think you'll be able to convince anyone that Hotwheels wants to sell ads.

Maybe he's trying to get people to suck his dick on IRC, though.

>He wasn't even going to cache this shit in memory

He's in the process of fixing this. I can't fault him for it if he's fixing it.

>Go look him up under "Ichverbot" when ED isn't dead, it's a fascinating read.

It's definitely interesting. I know tons of people who acted exactly like that at his age, though, especially when they were just discovering the internet. I haven't seen him act any more autistic than your average /v/ browser presently, though. Has he been?

>I'm worried that it may come to "we know it when we see it" and I hate having to do shit like that.

That's mostly my issue. It would effectively mean placing all of our trust into administration, which is exactly what we want to avoid. The main reason people don't browse the alternate boards is because of how slow they are, correct?

Perhaps there'd be some way to encourage users to browse them.

Otherwise I guess it would just have to come down to heavy-handed administration. I really don't like the idea of that at all.

>crossboard advertising incident

I must have missed it. What did he do?

>Well, I may be biased, being an admin, but me and the other two faggots have seen all this shit in living color, just like you have. We've seen where it leads and we don't want to end up the same way.

I can only hope.

I don't think the administration has made enough mistakes for most people to want to move over. We'll see, though.

Also, could I ask for the reasoning behind endchan's second rule?

Is it purely because you don't like it, or are there other concerns?

>>209351

Yes, that is what it is right now. That's likely how it's going to stay. We migrated out to here. I don't think we want to head out again.

The answer is still "no."

>>209390

Next is certainly fixable. The current issues it has won't take too long to fix. I believe Josh can do it.

>Second is to get Hotwheels active again to either fire Josh and/or to hire someone else to help/finish the job

Hotwheels should become active again regardless of which of the first two outcomes come true. Apathy will kill this imageboard if Hotwheels allows it.

>Third is the nuclear option of moving

I truly wish this isn't the best option. I don't think our administration is the best, but I fear moving into a moot 2.0 or something worse.

8chan is by no means dead. It's been shot, but it will only be fatal if we allow it to be.

>>209390

One thing to note here…

THERE IS NO PROBLEM

The only people pushing for a move are shills for that other chan, people who want to see Infinitechan die, or cancercrew spreading general FUD.

They're very well trained with cointelpro tactics and they won't stop until Infinity is dead.

Funny thing is we've been dead before… numerous times. Lookit where we are now.

We'll stay here, and when it's time to head to the new board it'll happen.

Last thing we need is to splinter.

>>209390

in case you guys havent noticed, teridax and thirdan have showed up on endchans IRC.

so the last thing anyone needs to do is move to that place. Since those two shitheads are known to get buddy buddy with people and burn down shit.

>>209439

>teridax

>known to burn down shit

You know, when someone online names themselves in an edgy style, they're usually completely harmless, if annoying. For once, they live up to their name.

>>210154

Keep posting and making threads.

Give people a reason to check here more often and participate.

Dude, Teridax barely did shit. The panic is something gamergate did to itself. All that rampant fucking paranoia is no good.

If you have a problem, you're going to have to name it.

>>210341

I honestly couldn't stand to go back. I'm too used to year long discussions. I remember having to bump good threads every midnight lest they disappear by dawn.

Secondly, we do not have the numbers to purge the cancer. It is systemic.

Besides, if we so much as speak of projects or stories here we'll get autobanned. We are very much exiled and excommunicated for the heresy of giving a shit about the state of the churchchan.

>>210342

Here on 8chan? Or Failchan?

I guess the cancer there was bad. But Chrow has been running things well through this crisis.

>>210348

Halfchan. It was hell. The best part of it was the perpetual screencap thread showcasing what the board used to be.

>>210353

Drawfag? Might I suggest board etiquette with Liche and Sable? Guest appearances/cameos from other board-tans. /pol/ and Christ-chan having a crusades adventure would be hilarious. Do's and don'ts sorta deal. DO check the catalog before making a thread. DO NOT just scroll down the front page. Anons yelling at clouds and all that.

>>210354

No… homebrewer.

>>210355

As in settings… this is TDCP. Only time I'll namedrop.

>>210338

The way I see it, the best bet to prepare for the absolute worst is to bookmark livebunker. It's not really a chan and more of a chatroom with chan features, but it can be a place to go when the site crashes to find out where you're off to next or if you just want to weather the storm.

there's a small but active community on 2 of the boards, and the administration hangs out in livebunker.rocks/chat/v otherwise the boards are empty.

full disclosure, I'm from livebunker. I have no interest in spamming the site or getting a whole lot of people to migrate or even gaining a lot of attention but we do have a /tg/ and you guys are welcome there to plan out where to go next if needed. I just want to make sure the community I've grown attached to here at 8/tg/ doesn't disappear ifwhen Josh fucks up.

In the meantime it looks like Virt's back in these posts... >>210682 and >>211439

>>211618

First one I could see (maybe), but assuming anonymous posters are Virt could lead to every shitpost being labelled a Virt post, forcing his name to live in infamy. The second one is making fun of OP and his idiocy, no idea how it could be the same faggot.

>>211643

Forgot my fucking capcode because I never use the damned thing.

>>211643

Might be /intl/ causing more trouble now that Gamergate has been assasinated by them (with no mention of how the constant on-off again transitions to "next"…)

They are pretty much hunting for boards with no present BOs to start spreading FUD.

Might even be some Endchan Cointelpro.

>>211891

Holy shit dude.

Gamergate fell apart for a ton of reasons.

/intl/ is not as prevalent as you may believe, people have been grouping lone wolves with them.

and Endchan dindu muffins. They're trying to make a solution to a real problem. Honestly it feels like the first exodus over there right now, trying to prepare for a shitload people, making OC, and hearing disinfo about them constantly.

314 chan though, that ad is in bad faith. That site is shit.

>>211892

Shill detected.

>>211906

You're a loony

Not to rain on anyone's parades, but it seems like the freechtards are already gathering on endchan and spreading to other boards.

>>211950

The what now?

>>211952

The spinoff site of the /int*/ users that spammed boards, including /tg/.

>>211953

Oh joy.

>>210179

>All that rampant fucking paranoia is no good.

That's for sure. And it applies to a lot of situations. When everybody's analyzing every post for its secret reverse double-hidden counter agenda, nobody has to be actively sabotaging anything. We're destroying all communication for "them" ourselves, even if there might not be a "them" in that particular situation to begin with.

That's why I personally say that nobody should go around playing double-agent mind games anywhere even if it's for the right reasons. We lose more via increased paranoia destroying everything than we gain by inconveniencing the opponent. The confusion game only helps if your goal is to burn it all down indiscriminately.

>>211645

Sorry that guy is from my LGS and it is his 3rd attempt to scare me away with lies about no one liking me. It seems though after talking with another person who plays in that guy's group at the most it is the DMs who don't like me and none of the other people seem to have problem if they don't like me. He just comes over here to shit on me and try to make me feel bad with calling me a meth although my teeth is from a different reason. If you probably see a post talking about how this awful guy with meth teeth is being an awful person it is probably about me and it is him posting again.

Polite Sage

>>211891

>muh /intl/ boogey men

>>211973

You want him pecked? He's contributed literally nothing else to /tg/ and this isn't /cgl/ so this petty vendetta bullshit has no place here.

>>211990

nah let him rage. He is claims are full of nothing and it gives some people enjoyment over calling him bait or tumblr. (He is a redditor.) I also like to point it at people who know both of us so they can see what he is truly like. He doesn't realize that he is straining more relations than I am with his behavior.

Thanks all the same.

>>211618

Neither of those are virt. he promised to stop shitting up 8ch and he kept his promise

So, some faggot wants to raise a stink about the occasional manga threads we've got.

Discuss.

>>212315

"Golem & Child Manga"

That screams /tg/ to you?

That screams robot and 10 years old to me.

>>212315

Only reason I didn't just hit that temping [Delete all posts by IP] button is because they have made some constructive posts in other threads for the past few weeks. So, not a completely lost cause.

Additionally, we've had this talk enough times to agree that /tg/ covers a massive collection of topics. As long as there's something vaguely of interest, even if it's just certain themes like Monsters and Adventure, and everyone is interested in discussing it, then it's fine and there's no harm in it.

>>212316

Sake of fairness, before he starts whining about censorship again: https://archive.is/8Utpn

All except for about 4 posts, which I deleted first, most of which were pointless shit, really. Your posts added nothing to the discussion, nor did they improve /tg/ in any way. Deleting them was not censorship, just dropping shitposts into the trash where they belong.

You have opinions.That's very nice for you. But you don't run this board and you don't have any kind of majority support like you think you do.

Chill the fuck out and go post about things you like instead of trying to get rid of things that you barely have any justification to hate.

>>212323

>Constructive

No. Ah you're the first to say "be constructive!". What the FUCK do you want to be "constructive" around that? Tell me. Tell me what constructive thing there can be said when someone posts some comic like that? "Yeah I'm a weeb too"? There's nothing to construct about, BO.

>covers a massive collection of topics

It does not cover everything. /tg/ is by board definition centered about traditional gaming, not even fantasy, or science-fiction, which are settings in which the board game is played. Video games aren't traditional gaming. Digital adaptions of traditional games are. Every fucking story in the world isn't /tg/. Roleplay is.

Because if you wanna say this thing has merit to be on /tg/ then I'm gonna post Asterix comics and say it's somehow /tg/ related. And yet all we'll do is read them. Or pretend to. We're not gonna discuss anything about how it can help in a D&D game, or it was not brought up specifically to demonstrate a story, roleplay or setting point or serve as an example to build any of these things upon.

No.

That's just a fucking comic and so there's a board for it it's called /co/ or something.

Asterix' got magic potions and there's druids and Romans and warfare and it's medieval-like (Antiquity). Yet I know you wouldn't agree if I started a thread here to dump that uninvited. Cause it isn't an anime.

Themes, settings, stories, whatever, have a relationship with traditional gaming when they are discussed relatively to it.

>like you think you do.

Oho because I said I think I do? I remember saying the opposite thing, but how that doesn't mean what I say is automatically invalid.

>post about things you like

I like traditional gaming and this isn't traditional gaming nor can it be made close to it. Turn this board into a comic sharing site and exactly where will be the people to discuss what makes good roleplay? Everything goes on tangents to end up simply staring at pictures but nothing actually converges towards traditional gameplay, that's where it's going right now.

>>212328

Jeez dude, you sound like an autist.

>>212329

How constructive. I hope to God that's not what BO meant by that word.

>>212330

I think he meant something more along the lines of stop getting your fucking panties in a twist. Post in some other thread. Make you own threads. Don't be so autistically mad at a comic thread.

>>212332

What I think it's that you get really autistically attached to said comics. Meanwhile, you think yourself high enough to tell me what to do with my time on /tg/. Maybe I make threads. Maybe I don't. What's it to you? I came here and not on /a/ and /co/, maybe from up there you can guess why.

>>212334

I haven't even browsed those threads. Getting a little defensive there aren't we, Sperg Ferguson? ;^)

>>212336

Hahahaha. Then if you don't even know what we are talking about, get out of the discussion! Let those that actually know talk! Oh my god that's hilarious. And you're the one who speaks of constructiveness. Hahaha… Wow.

>>212337

Not my fault you keep biting, bro.

>>212338

No you're actually helping so thanks. Making an example of the constructiveness on the other side of the argument. That's good. For me.

So will there be actually anyone with an actual argument as to why any manga should be posted on /tg/ willy-nilly as if it somehow was produced by WotC or Paizo?

>>212339

Because wizards and paizo are both shit.

So, mango it is.

>>212339

>the barrier of entry for /tg/ is that it now has to be published by hasbro. paizo, or games workshop or we can't talk about it.

What is this strange new hell I have awakened into?

>>212341

I merely wrote that comic had no reason to be here whatsoever but was accepted as if an official publication of a big-time tg producer but you read what you need anon.

>>212339

Your argument was pitiful in the first place, but that seems to be all you want: An argument.

One manga thread doesn't constitute an /a/ invasion (it's hardly even will, nor nilly for that matter) and it certainly doesn't excuse your aggressive faggotry.

You clearly don't understand /tg/ and I don't even think you understand imageboards.

And if your idea of /tg/ related things is strictly talking about games made by WotC or Paizo, why haven't you followed your own advice?

A quick browse through your post history seems to show that the most active you've been in any thread has been talking about Starcraft lore.. Seems like that belongs on /v/, don't you think?

So you're looking like a hypocrite and a disruptive faggot, from where I'm sitting.

>>212341

Someone has been missing cuckchan tg

>>212342

hey I have a question for you, directly.

Why do you feel the need to play content police? Why do you blow your whistle shrill, o' guardian of /tg/'s maiden purity?

>>212343

Yeah like I would expect anything else from you. You looked like a great BO… But incredibly biased on one thing. You categorically refuse all valid criticism when it's directed at anime shit, which is the exact equivalent of furry shit. Whatever I say that bumps the slightest with loli bs you won't be happy with it.

Starcraft lore is relevant to /tg/ in topic as OP requested thoughts on running a campaign. Fixing Starcraft's lore is fixing his to be setting.

Saying that your favourite "monstergirl" is "cow-girl" however this I don't know where to put it. Except maybe in weeb bias. That was not the first manga thread. And it won't be the last. However I do think I understand the concept of traditional gaming maybe more than you do: it's not about mangas. No it's really about traditional board games. There are people that talk about that thing called Ryuutama. It's a traditional game. It belongs here. Whatever fucking comic that gives you a boner doesn't.

>And if your idea of /tg/ related things is strictly talking about games made by WotC or Paizo

Deforming my meanings, putting words in my mouth? I really thought you better than this.

>So you're looking like a hypocrite and a disruptive faggot, from where I'm sitting.

Still haven't given one word how Loligirl the Comic is related to traditional games.

"Board games and tapletop RPGs".

But do call me a hypocrite at your leisure. You're quite content to call me that I know.

Whatever. Discussing how weeb shit isn't to be forced on other places with weebs is like saying the same to a brony or a furry: of course they'll be set in their ways. I rather quit this sterile conversation.

>>212354

I think you're just crusty you're not getting hotpockets, boss. See, this is why I dropped from the BO race (other than the fact there were too many candidates) early. Because of autists like you would piss me off to the point of burning this place down.

Then again I thank GOD that you're not a BO, this place would be DEAD in a week. You're a Nazimod waiting for rank. But not here.

>>212357

Just say it that you don't like how I talk shit of your waifu.

>>212356

Eh, I've faced worse adversity. But at least I'm not a weeb ; )

>>212359

Hey buddy, the autist club is two blocks down.

>>212360

Wonder how you know.

Chrow, just nuke this >>212359 faggot from orbit and be done with it.

>>212363

There's no need, tart. I'm done with this argument. Spam how many bs comics about a 10 y old getting it hard. Don't care no more. Though I don't fear being banned for that.

>>212354

>Deforming my meanings, putting words in my mouth? I really thought you better than this.

your meaning is clear. In fact, everything about you is clear. this isn't really about the content and if it's related to /tg/ this is about your personal dislikes and forcing an entire board to conform to them so you personally don't have to be uncomfortable around content you don't like. you have no problem with content that is not exactly /tg/ related but could be made /tg/ related. what you have a problem with is the fact that it is anime.

you hate anime, we get that. you hate loli even more probably the same faggot who tried to push the 'loli free' version of monster girls on /monster/ a few weeks back. you have all the options in the world of hiding this content but it angers you SO MUCH that other people get to enjoy it that you will go to any length to get it removed.

You sir, are the SJW. another content censoring puritan who doesn't want anyone enjoying a thing because that thing is ideologically opposed to you. and rather than push for content that is ideologically compatable with your tastes, you would rather scour the world of 'the bad thing'.

You're just a sheep of another color.

>>212366

Oh. You want me to quit responding to you actually? Oh you're actually asking me to ignore you. Okay. Because you know: when someone talks to me, I answer, no matter how bad I do. Basic politeness. But I guess you don't want to be considered worth the tiniest of efforts. Fine then! You will be to me as a cockroach is to an Eagle.

>>212367

Yeah no you still don't give any counter-argument lol. As far as I'm concerned I'm right because I'm unchallenged lol. Saying I'm a SJW won't make up for lack of arguments buddy. So yknow I don't really care now.

>>212368

Chill out autismo. Why don't you go watch some anime?

Man, I love making fun of artists. Much, much better than feeling all depressed and nihilistic.

That said I don't have criticism outside this. But no. I don't like this one thing at all.

>>212400

>he takes your side

Didn't realize "don't be a fuckwit" was a side. I thought it was just a common aspiration for all men.

ok so say we do what you say. Say we ban all anime. What then? you happy? you going to enforce the rule? what exactly is "weeaboo" to you? Do we stop discussing japanese tabletop games? is yugioh banned?

Do you even realize the unintended concequences your banning 'weeb shit' would have? Not everyone who enjoys anime talks about it in every single post, and I don't think you understand that the people you are calling to ban also participate in other non-weeaboo activity.

your banning of weeaboo would essentially kill the board by driving off half the population you fuckwit.

>>212402

>we do what you say. Say we ban all anime.

Hahaha. More demonization of me? Cool.

I never said ban all anime. Of course for YOU it's an attack on anime: shows where your priorities at! It's not about /tg/ for you, it's about anime. Isn't it? I want off with shit that's unrelated. Be it anime. Furry. Star Wars. Martian. SJW. Whatever. But you'll turn me into some monster as it is usual because you want anime as a whole to be here even if it has no reason to.

Kinda like those immigrants lol.

>the people you are calling to ban

Hahahahaha. More lies? Okay. Point one post where I said "ban anime posters".

>your banning of weeaboo would essentially kill the board by driving off half the population you fuckwit.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad what do you know ; )

>Didn't realize "don't be a fuckwit" was a side.

Well I'm glad you recognize my side as this one.

>>212406

You really are one workpiece of an asshole, anon. You purposedly dictate what you need to hear. I don't say anything of what you pretend I am yet you say I do. Very well then. Die with your delusions. The future belongs to those that are honest with themselves. You you're just a loser.

By the way, sentences start with a capital, kid. And it's "goodthink", not rightthink. Of course a dumbass like you wouldn't have read the book, he just thinks Orwell wrote it so that you could try being a smartass on some internet website.

>>212409

I've yet to hear one reason why crap mangas should be here and not on /co/ or /a/.

>>212410

because they're medieval fantasy and they give DM's inspiration for their games.

Dungeon Meshi leads DM's to think about the ecology of their dungeons and to create a living ecosystem. I've personally used it to help me create a dungeon that is alive and changing that will constantly challenge my players instead of throwing them through 10 or so lifeless empty tombs. Golem and Child helps DM's and players learn to flesh out their NPC's more and gives ideas for plothooks.

In either case these mangas are tools to help DM's make their worlds feel more vibrant and alive, gives them worldbuilding tips and provides plot and quest hooks.

>>212408

Maybe if you spoke clearly instead of talking in stupid little jabs and retorts, people would understand your intentions beyond hearing you whine about weebs.

>>212412

>because they're medieval fantasy and they give DM's inspiration for their games.

No they're not

Neither were they presented as

They were thrown in here just to say "lol I read mango now you read too"

If you want to read books go to a library. Dumping them here without saying anything is not inspiration. It's "check out my mixtape." Besides I've taken a look at them. It's terrible. Fan-fiction level. No meaning to the story, just a string of events without any coherence, no psychological development (oh if that happens, it's extremely edgy and childish), and the whole universe seems to be constructed to have "moments" they expect you to be amazed at.

>Golem and Child helps DM's and players learn to flesh out their NPC's

No go read a god damn psychology book if you want to hear how to flesh out a NPC. The kid in "Golem and Child" looks exactly like a tool psychologically wise. It exists to fulfill some weird requirements of being "endearing". Endearing to those that aren't ironic when they say they wanna be the little girl or the big daddy really. The Golem fulfills nothing at all. It's just "hay I can talk to animals hurr."

There is no meaning to these stories. It's just "show childface in a situation of dependency over some daddy-personality".

>In either case these mangas are tools to help DM's make their worlds feel more vibrant and alive, gives them worldbuilding tips and provides plot and quest hooks.

No really it's only mangas. Or maybe I could dump Asterix in here and say that it helps the DM make a "vibrant and alive" (+1 for buzzwords) setting?

You want real stories to base your worlds upon? Go read real authors. People that know their shit. The classicals. Instead of shitting on Tolkien, for example, do a real study of his works. Read the Greek epics. Study Beowulf and the Scandinavian sagas. Read Paradise lost for all the pain it is. Read Asimov because why not.

Books aren't just stories. They're also a reflection of their authors. Orwell wrote 1984 because he hated totalitarianism and saw it as the biggest threat to mankind, something imminent that others were ignoring. Orwell, if you will know, volunteered as a soldier in the Spanish civil war. He was a staunch democratic socialist until the end. He experienced being an English policeman in India, a homeless person, a propagandist for the BBC during war, a soldier, all this. And this led to his works. All these authors didn't just wake up and said "hey u know imma make a story about some loli and a big strong robot that talks to bunnies". They've thought for years about subjects central to their intellectual life and led the result down in their books and that's why they're seen as great authors. Next time you read Tolkien or Milton or Rousseau or whatever ask yourself: why. Why in Beowulf was his last will to look at his treasure. Because it was really important to people in that time, treasure, it was part of their reputation and honour. Why in medieval texts is there always mention of hierarchy and order. Because it was the core idea of feudalism. It was seen as an order, pretty holy, and when one didn't act as he should in his place it could collapse and that is the lesson. Which is the fucking plot for Macbeth (incidentally that Pixar Brave movie lmao). Watching some loli cocktease won't teach you anything about stories; studying actual literature will. Don't pretend it does. "Comfy" my ass. You get to see Kidface McUnderage get amazed at talking to bunnies… And then what?

>>212414

It's amazing anon. It really is: because it sounds like something you better tell to a mirror.

>>212418

>It's amazing anon. It really is: because it sounds like something you better tell to a mirror.

That's exactly my point. You write these moronic massive rants that are just loaded with pithy quips and attempts at snarky humor that jump wildly between subjects.

What the hell do you even want, because this just looks like some top tier /intl/ shitposting. They did the same exact shit before we got a new mod. Just argued in circles, stumbling between topics and offering up these word salad essays.

So either make a point or adopt a tripcode so we can all filter you.

Well tell me if I bother your circlejerk guys.

It's incredible that for all that pompous talk you aren't able to apply any of it to yourselves. So when someone complains about something he's all these things, a "dedicated troll", a SJW, a "pro-censorship", a whatever, immediately "not from this board" and everything? Maybe it never occurs to you but maybe he's just someone that said no when you said yes.

Well meanwhile

>Based on his speech pattern

>Clearly he hasn't been here long

>Regardless do with him as you see fit Chrow, I trust your judgement.

My god you're cringy man.

Are you thinking seriously or are you just throwing all that for the asspats? And if you want to avoid covering yourself in ridicule again, quit trying to divine who others are on an anonymous website. It's an advice.

But as expected you're about entirely wrong about anything you said about me. You're just freely attacking me at that point, not talking at all about the subject at hand which is anime comic spam in /tg/. Oh wait, why do I bother again? You're gonna sperg and insult me cause there's nothing else you know to do.

Basically he can either work on fixing vichan with some new solutions, move us over to lynxchan, the software endchan.xyz runs off of, or he can fork and try to salvage infinity never out of the hands of Josh.

We should all vote, there's a thread on it on /v/ and possibly /operate/ and I don't know where else hotwheels would talk about this shit. probably /tech/?

When 8chan goes the way of 4chan or worse, I want you to remember your smugness.

Attempt #4

>>213172

Not trying to stir shit. Trying to get people on the lifeboat before you start seeing the same shit thats been the standard on 4chan.

>>213174

I'd love to learn your worldview. Please tell us the story so far from your perspective, because it seems to me that there is no rush nor need whatsoever to go to there.

Besides, you have a very interesting idea of what "not trying to stir shit" is.

>>213144

Fixing Infinity seems to be the best choice, but Josh seems to have soured everyone on the idea.

>>213175

Lets start with the IP logging, and move onto the fact that HW has stated he doesn't give a shit about this place anymore, then lets settle down with a glass of OVER 50% OF THE USERBASE HAS LEFT.

I guess "shitstirring" is now synonymous with trying to get people to see whats right in front of them.

>>213179

You didn't listen to the stream at all, did you?

>>213180

You talking about the one where Jim tries to deny all responsibility for shit that happened on his dime, under his nose, and directly involving his property?

>>213181

The one that happened last night where Hotwheels pretty much didn't say any of those things you said he did.

Where he said he is going to do everything in his power to work on 8chan and that he cares about user security and safety.

Not that your response shows anything but how much you want to start drama and fling shit, anyways.

>>213182

You know what dude, you win. Ignore all the shit that /pol/ and /v/ have collected directly contradicting your view of the circumstance because guise he said so in a stream!

If you want to enjoy a heaping helping of sunk cost fallacy, that's your deal, man.

For anyone else, as I said, endchan isn't doing any of the shit this place or 4chan is doing, and its where a good chunk of the refugees have gone.

The server took too long to submit your post. Your post was probably still submitted. If it wasn't, 8chan might be experiencing issues right now – please try your post again later.

>>213184

>A good chunk

I'm looking at their page right now and I don't really consider <60 on the biggest board a good chunk, especially when it's /v/. If you're the same dude in the other thread try to understand, the communities will want to go if they can't post on their boards anymore and it will be one of the places they consider more than likely.

https://medium.com/@infinitechan/infinity-never-3d5f733af739#.8s0zs3fjp

If you want to know the dirt on the Josh-Hotwheels Infinity Never drama, then here you go.

>>213268

Wow. Not having followed the saga closely, I assumed "drama" was a bit of an exaggeration. It was not.

>>213273

Well, when people were telling us he was /cow/ material and that his ED page was reason enough not to trust him with the project, we should have listened.

>>212328

Y'know, I could see some glorious faggot here making a game setting around the Asterix version of history.

Or maybe doing a goofygrim adaptation in it for Weird Wars Rome.

Point is, these things you complain about are great fodder for inspiration and creation.

>>213195

It's like I said before: the equivalent of a one-horse town (though a decently run one-horse town). Not even a boomtown, really, just a slow trickle.

>>213634

It's not a boomtown, yet, because there's no reason for it to be. If we all needed to get out of Dodge, then it would become a boomtown.

Why when I make a new thread or bump a thread does it not show up on 8ch.net/tg/ page 1? It only shows bumped in the catalog, but not on page 1.

>>213761

Been gone a while ey? 8chan code is apparently falling apart from assholes poking holes in it, browser updates, and general "not designed for this many people" load. To save on (tech lingo) the front pages no longer update as often. It was getting really bad. Notice you can't look at pages 3+ as well.

Luckily the guy who was making the replacement software has been kicked to the curb for gross incompetence, and so hotwheels is back to trying to fix this overworked figure eight.

>>213764

Thanks for the help. I'd noticed it, but figured it was just on my end until I went to make a new thread today and saw even that wasn't showing up.

Most people are probably using the catalog then, so I guess they will see any new posts I make as long as it shows in the catalog. I hope he can fix it, and I will rely on the catalog until then.

>>214352

If you haven't heard, some tweaks that Josh made fucked with some aspect of of the database that was causing every single update to be logged and stored, which fucked up the index view and slowed down the site drastically.

They recently fixed the problem and now the board list isn't showing the PPH for each board, but everything is running much faster.. Partly due to the fact that we've lost about half of our users site-wide.

>>214374

At the same time I checked just a lot of boards and their posting rates are the same before they were zero'd, so the ips for boards is reverting as well. I say just get rid of stats in general. Looks like things are starting to look up now.

So statmongering was killing 8chan?

Seems we found the chemo.

>>214388

Josh's incompetence borders on an act of willful malice.

Now that Hotwheels has gotten a hard wakeup call and really dove back into working on the site, we're seeing drastic improvement.

Now, more than ever, it's important to keep posting. Give people a reason to start coming back.

>>214388

vichan still needs to be replaced. Think of josh's changes like punching a terminal patient

>>214352

>>214374

I've been wondering why things suddenly started running so much more smoothly suddenly. So everything had been ever so slowly getting increasingly slow over time… A subtly insidious screw-up, that. It gets worse so slowly you end up not being sure it wasn't always like that.

What in the fuck is wrong with this board right now?

I'm okay with a little bit of weebery, but it's overtaking us. I'm also okay kind of with a Brony occasionally announcing how much of a massive faggot he is, and how he like to jack off to magic gender neutral cartoon ponies, but now here on this thread >>214172 we have people not just condoning horsefuckery, but supporting it and casually admitting to it! The That Guy thread is full of people who don't understand the meaning of That Guy, and the "How do you play your characters?" thread is full of "lol random" chaotic neutral That Guys. We have two Starbound threads AND two Starcraft threads. We get a new "Tell me not to kill myself" thread every week. We have a couple of threads that are getting real close to quests, and one that's right on the edge of a fan fic. Half-Eldar Emperor… Fucking heretic.

We've got to do something about this shit thread quality. Lest the Inquisition Exterminatuses this whole fucking place.

(Read: Josh tries to migrate us again.)

>>214390

>Josh's incompetence borders on an act of willful malice.

It might have been willful malice, Josh is a bit of a petty backstabber if he thinks he can get away with it

>>214639

Dunno, sort of liked not having the 40K roleplayers clogging up the board, but I can agree the horsefuckers need to leave. They are cancer.

As for the Weebery, you do realize that this board exists on software designed for weebery?

Weebery is fine as long as /tg/ doesn't turn into /a/.

Also what is up with the edgelords here? I point to >>213464 in this regard.

>>214639

>>214650

I think both of you are drastically overstating the problem of having one horsefucker thread.

As for the rest of the shit and low quality threads, the only thing you can really do is make and post in more good threads and talk about the things you want to talk about, instead of getting worked up over what other people are posting in their own shitty threads.

>>214653

>I think both of you are drastically overstating the problem of having one horsefucker thread.

No. There is no overstating. I've been around long enough to know that the designated shitting topic of the era will always lead to bad things. Furries before, then homestuck, now horsefuckers.

It needs to be at very least quarantined. There are groups out there devoted to shitting up places that allow pony pics. I've had words with them in my chanthropology.

>>214657

You're not on halfchan nigger.

Chill the fuck out.

>>214657

>There are groups out there devoted to shitting up places that allow pony pics.

So you're afraid of others what, punishing us for tolerating one thread of it? Even if it's true, that's an even worse motivation than hating it for purely your own opinions. Whether it works for or against my own opinions, it shouldn't be up to outside groups to decide what people can and can't talk about. I sure would never shift my interests if they were in your "group's" cross hairs.

>>214827

The thing is they don't add to the conversation all they do is post their shitty pictures all over the place. Like if you look at the thread in question it is just posting of griffon pictures and no one is actually talking about interesting creatures. I would say it was probably a bait thread based off the OP's picture. Everyone knows what happens when you post ponies outside their board. It is like posting something /pol/ related outside of /pol/ just because you know it will make people shit up the thread. That is totally what that thread is now, shit.

I do have interesting creature ideas but I don't want to post them in that thread as it isn't about interesting creatures. It is about posting pony fanart.

>>214650

You can't go on a 600 word glorious display of aspergers tg related racist rant without being considered an edgelord now? Man… What is this world coming to?

Edgy is slowly, and not quite there yet, starting to mean anything not politically correct, and it's quickly becoming /tg/'s favorite word.

>>214891

I wouldn't go that far. I think it's merely going the way of fail, epic, and other such words. Over used in out of context and inappropriate situations.

>>214832

>>214829

>>214827

>>214657

Ponies in small doses are not a cause for alarm. So far, all that's happened is them showing up once in a blue moon. If we get things like Fallout Equestria and "Hey guize let's make a Pony/40K crossover," then that might be cause for a boot.

As it stands, you need to cool off.

>>214919

>>214891

Can work as a synonym for "grimderp," yes?

>>214922

Grimderp is usually edgy, but edgy is not necessarily grimderp.

>>214922

We've had this discussion just a few days ago in this very thread.

If we start arbitrarily drawing lines in the sand on what is and isn't allowed, then logically, much of the board has to go, as there are boards for everything else.

Why talk about Lord of the Rings when we have /arda/ or /lit/? Why talk game lore when we have /v/? Why talk about historical armor and tactics if we have /his/?

These topics may have their own boards and communities already, but the point is that /tg/ is supposed to be accommodating to as many subjects as possible because /tg/ games require a massive breadth of knowledge and inspiration.

If you actually read the GM's guide part of most RPG books, you'll see that many of them offer sources of inspiration that cover books, movies, tv shows, cartoons, and video games.

>>214941

>If we start arbitrarily drawing lines in the sand on what is and isn't allowed

No it's mostly so any one thing doesn't take over.

Driving away people is not a bad thing, where in if you allow a large enough concentration of one kind they will naturally be inclined to drive away the others.

Then you end up with shit like halfchan /tg/ that's ANIME FOR THE ANIME GOD where every other thread is /a/ shitposting

>>214943

Continuing on this actually, as I'm sure you've noticed, some groups are more viral and aggressive than others if they start getting comfortable or confident.

Eventually a large concentration means each time administration cycles out there's a higher chance one of these will get into admin. Once this happens, they have a minor agenda and will favor putting more of the same into administration. The same agenda will punish people outside their group.

This is how communities are destroyed from the inside out. I know I'm not the only one that has seen this.

Hence people flipping the fuck out over Chrow being a weeb, or sudden popular ponyshit threads. At the same time, said people won't flip out over things they're aligned with and disagree when others flip over those instead.

Ultimately the only good solution is neutral administration with a level enough head to know when and where to draw the line without drifting in judgement over time.

>>214946

Yeah it is just I seen the pony shit as I use to be from /co/ so I saw pony shit take over a board along with Korra, Homestuck, and Steven Universe. It is probably because of this that I see stuff that I deem as a slippery slope to fanboys overtake a board and actively try to deter it once I see it. I like anime but I respect that some people don't like it so I don't post it outside where I find it relevant.

It is really about slippery slope and fanboys making people stop coming here when we are trying to get enough people to have a comfy /tg/ instead of dead one.

>>214952

This. We need more people, not less.

>>214946

>"people flipping the fuck out over Chrow being a weeb, or sudden popular ponyshit threads."

To be fair, there's always going to be something about a board admin that some Anons will flip out about. Personally, I think that if a board admin isn't pissing a few people off, he's not doing his job properly.

*Personally, I think Chrow is doing a pretty good job of keeping the board from tearing itself apart. So far, at least.*

>"the only good solution is neutral administration with a level enough head to know when and where to draw the line without drifting in judgement over time"

Pretty much. I recall someone once suggesting that we could draw up a "moderation charter" or something, but the moment we start applying arbitrary rules to what is and isn't "tg" is the moment the slide down the "slippery slope" begins.

>>215535

>I recall someone once suggesting that we could draw up a "moderation charter" or something, but the moment we start applying arbitrary rules to what is and isn't "tg" is the moment the slide down the "slippery slope" begins.

It's a damned if you do damned if you don't sort of thing IMO, where the population will naturally impose it's own rules and segregation in time. Hence I believe moderate moderation is the only answer.

It's less that we need more moderation or more rules, and more that people need to slow their shitposting roll, and choose to, themselves, not be total faggots and get back on topic.

If /tg/ works together we can eliminate the GURPS menace purge this heresy peacefully, with love and cooperation.

>>206814

It's not that hard to turn off your router, anon.

>>215602

Sounds good.

>>215602

The man/bird/bird-man speaks the truth

If you don't think a thread is "tg" enough, don't post in it. The less attention you draw to a thread, the quicker it will slide off the front page and into obscurity.

Threads should live or die by the general consensus. Not because some faggot can't get it into his head that people might actually like something he doesn't.

*And the BO will always get flak regardless of action/inaction on their part. But you knew that when you signed up for the job, didn't you Chrow? You masochistic bugger.*

>>215570

Comics dumps ARE glaringly non-/tg/. Just like Quest Threads were.

>>215602

Sounds about right to me.

>>215730

Depends on the comic.

And quest threads were /tg/ related, but had to be be banished as a matter of operations. Quests stifle the natural flow of conversation on the board and drive down activity while clogging up the catalog.

>>215759

Quests are not TG. They're play by post roleplaying which isn't exactly a Traditional Game.

As for the Dungeon Crawling manga… that's so /tg/ related it has a neckbeard.

Also lately I've been noticing shitposting trolls starting to populate here… >>215798 in particular.

>>215898

>Roleplaying

>not /tg/

also

>TG

We all agree it has no place here, but to claim roleplaying games are not /tg/ is highly contradictory. They are, for example, far more /tg/ than dwarf fortress.

Something I've been seeing all over the site over the week, new anons who don't quite know how things work. Odd spellings, complete ignorance of history not a month old, etc. One of the often tells is capitalizing board names and/or not using /'s. Not sure where the flood came from, but it happened. It baffles me they try to define a place they haven't been in all that long. Not accusing this guy of being such, but he reminded me it's a thing.

>>215904

>/x/-tan

I kinda miss her, not gonna lie. That weird, sort of gaunt Rasputin looking fellow over at /fringe/ isn't a replacement either. Then again we're a lich now so..

>>215913

Take mook, separate him from his flesh, apply flesh to self.

We're a skeleton because we choose to be a skeleton. If we want to pork a pretty occultist we need only cast a spell or three. I suspect, looking at the shape, the liche looked/looks like Gaston.

>>215907

>>215904

Shitposters spotted

>>215981

Reel it in anon, that's a low effort casting.

It's February, what are you going to change the line to now Chrow?

>>216747

Fuck you, it's January.

>>215632

If I could vote down posts for their absolutely autistic pictures, I'd vote yours down. Sadly I cannot vote down posts, and that's a big loss seeing this absolutely absolute autism.

>>216774

If I could ban anons for their absolutely autistic posts, I'd ban you away. Sadly I cannot ban away anons, and that's a big loss seeing this absolutely absolute autism.

>>216774

Redditfags are cancer.

Is it really necessary to have a new play on words every month? I'd personally be fine with going back to "Roll a Will save versus Insanity"
