>>1019322 Well it's at least double gay. It involves at least two dicks, and anal is already gay. If you choose a butt when a pussy is right there, you're still gay, assuming there even was a pussy there in the first place.

I see the Gamecube retard's once again samefagging, arguing in bad faith, replying with fucking novels, misreporting his and others' actions in retrospective, and spray-painting bad faith horseshit everywhere and saying it wasn't him. More of the same.

>>1019325 >misreporting his and others' actions in retrospective We're on an imageboard. All the posts in questions are readily available. Retrospect doesn't apply here, since you can go look at the posts in question. No memory needed. Ironically, you making this claim is you misreporting actions and showing that you're arguing in bad faith. You're not helping yourself at all. You're only making it more and more clear to the mods that you're a fucking fag. You're making your tactics less and less effective. But wait, just to be clear, since you seem to be the expert on who is GCfag, is GCfag the guy who does redtext and italics and gets mad and says "FUCK OFF!" and stuff like that? I never made the connection until just now that that guy was the guy you're mad at for not liking new games and using Gamecube as his benchmark. But does the guy you're mad at post like that? Or is that a separate guy you're mad at? Or is this, ironically, actually the same guy, but this is the one case where you don't call him the same guy?

>>1019305 Brother let me tell you, iphopping niggers like this gcfag bitch never shut the fuck up. I had a bpd ex who his bitching reminds me of, she'd twist into mental gymnastics to talk my ear off using blatant bullshit and calculated fallacies to argue for communism or black lives matter or whatever came on her tumblr, shit went nowhere but circles leaving you drained like an esper under extraction for magicite. Got sick of engaging, would just tell her shut the fuck up. She'd do that "oh you can't argue, looks like I'm right" shit. Bitch was crazy. Not as crazy as this retard but crazy. Monkey branched to a crackhead then died from OD, with any luck this weak faggot will too.

>>1019321 >I've learned that evidently there's a little GCfag in all of us. Jesus Christ, Anon, I may like dickgirls and make gay jokes, but I'm no fag. >Are you also the guy who gets mad and just says "FUCK OFF!" as if that does anything? Majority of the time when the person I'm arguing against beings using "power words", and/or showing they have zero interest in actually having a conversation/argument and are only trying to push an agenda. >And stop using redtext outside of very, very special occasions. No >I'm not going to. I never even learned how. It was introduced long after I started browsing, and I'm not learning any new features, because we didn't need them back when things were still good. <We've had special text formatting for years. >Is that what you'd do? No, I'd still italicize that.

>>1019329 >Majority of the time when the person I'm arguing against beings using "power words", and/or showing they have zero interest in actually having a conversation/argument and are only trying to push an agenda. I think I've seen you go off far too easily sometimes. Frankly, even if you were right in your assessments, I don't think reacting like that does you any favors. It's very self-defeating. >We've had special text formatting for years. What are you talking about? 2006 was only last year... right? >No, I'd still italicize that. What about a Mario Party minigame? Italics, quotation marks, or nothing? >>1019328 >I refuse to acknowledge anything that's said. That means I'm right. Don't like it? That means you're like a commie BLM woman. Because you know those women, very logical thinkers. You're only calling attention to how you argue like a woman. So out of this post and the one above you, which one makes you more upset? Maybe you're mad at me, and haven't been mad at GCfag this whole time. You've been blaming GCfag for stuff he didn't do. I thought you were mad at me because you thought I was him, but no, you're mad at him because you think he's me. Well, you've also been mad at a couple of other people, but strangely you haven't been mad at the actual GCfag. So you need to change your boogeyman's name. What would it be, though? It seems like what you're mad at is the fact that people actually explain why you're wrong. I get you'd prefer if we all just argued like women and tried to give you a bad reputation instead of saying why your ideas are wrong, but I think this site is too autistic to appreciate that style of discussion. You're gonna have a hard time making a boogeyman out of "people who explain why I'm wrong."

>>1019334 >2006 was only last year... right? <Vid >What about a Mario Party minigame? Quotation marks

>>1019322 It's much easier than everyone who sperged about it the GG thread thinks

Added recent posts to the primer explaining GCfag to any newfags. See >>1012734 exposing 10bf95 as GCfag, also >>1007768, >>1007782, >>1007899, >>1007984, >>1008041, >>1008059, >>1008062, >>1008069, >>1008071, >>1008131, >>1008139, >>1008260, >>1008389, >>1012599, >>1012633, >>1012743, >>1012765, >>1012787, >>1012957, >>1012964, >>1013087, >>1019186, >>1019211, >>1019221, >>1019231, >>1019235, >>1019240, >>1019255, >>1019280, >>1019325, >>1019328.

>>1019340 Everything you've said has already been refuted many times, in this very thread (and probably in others). Just reposting the same list of your opinions doesn't do anything. GCfag is legitimately less autistic than you. He's stupid for refusing to stop posting so idiosyncratically, but you're doing the same, just with even less substance. At least he makes arguments while typing like a fag. You type like a fag, and even when you manage to make something coming close to an argument, it gets refuted, and you're too stupid to even acknowledge that that happened. You're humiliating yourself. You're only making it harder and harder for anybody, including mods, to take your ideas seriously going forward. If you weren't such a fag about it, you might actually have an easier time convincing mods that everyone you don't like is one guy who needs to be banned, but after this conversation, the jig is up.

>>1019334 Youre literally replying to anyone that calls out your bullshit even if they arent directly replying to you, youre too autistic to pull this off.

>>1019346 Just because someone is too much of a bitch to point to the posts they're mad at, so he instead points to his own posts and just talks about the posts he doesn't like, doesn't mean that he is right. None of the things the fag is mad at me for are even things I started. He's mad because I'm one of several people who noticed he's an idiot, and he therefore thinks everyone must be the original guy he was arguing with, because surely only one person could think he's stupid. You're an identitarian retard (probably a woman) that belongs on Twitter or whatever, so you won't understand, but smart people actually care about ideas and not about who says them. If an idea is wrong, it will be wrong no matter who says it. I don't need an idea to be directed at me in particular for me to notice it's wrong.

>>1019346 My autism is exactly how I've been so elusive

>>1019321 I've learned that evidently there's a little GCfag in all of us. He's a spirit that inhabits us at different points, and Anon up there can detect it, and he must banish the spirit from us So, that necklace that goth girl wears from the commercial of Luigi's Mansion?

Why GC sorta surprised we can spot him?

>>1019364 I don't think he is. He shows up whenever he's mentioned, and when people point out his idiosyncratic posting style, he admits to it, and even refuses to stop.

>>1019346 >Youre literally replying to anyone that calls out your bullshit even if they arent directly replying to you, youre too autistic to pull this off. Lol he's even doing this shit in the post above mine, after you noticed. What a moron

>>1019371 You think you're helping your case, but every post you make only digs yourself deeper. I'm glad to reply since you're only making a bigger and bigger fool out of yourself.

Since when was GCfag a thing?

>>1019340 The average user of /v/ (let's name him Dave), or anywhere with gaming discussion, comes for a good time discussing video games. How successful fomenters kill /v/, then, is making sure Dave has a bad time discussing video games. GCfag hounds Daves 24/7 to make sure they have a bad time discussing video games. Others hound Daves for less time. Dave likes anything related to video games or posts anything at all? Ridicule it. Ridicule Dave for liking it so Dave won't discuss it. Ridicule others who like it so they won't discuss it. Ridicule it for many posts. Ridicule it now. Keep ridiculing it later. Ridicule it in various threads. Derail many video game discussions so they're not video games so video gamers won't like them. Bait Dave to have wearisome arguments that don't end. Wear Dave down with them. Frustrate Dave by lying about him, what he said, and what happened. Concede nothing. Defame Dave. Turn people against Dave. If you can't, pose as these people and agree Dave's awful and what Dave said is awful, so Dave feels isolated, outnumbered, and alone. Tell Dave that Dave is doing what you're doing. Make Dave have a bad time discussing video games. Dave will have a worse time discussing gaming, on "/v/ - Video Games," than Dave would on places not for video games. Dave came to discuss video games, not for 5 hours of mental warfare. Dave won't stay to improve /v/, that's 1-sided, /v/ benefits but Dave doesn't. Dave probably won't complain here either. Dave will leave, then have a good time discussing gaming somewhere else. The hounds, more eager to foment destruction than Daves are to stop it, then attack Dave after Dave until no Dave remains. Most Daves left. /v/ is these hounds now. GCfag hounds the most, and others hound too. When hounds make more posts than Daves, hounds run the board de facto, take over discussion, peddle fake history to conceal their wrongdoing, and fomenters gloat over /v/'s decline.

>>1019527 You're right Dave >>>/vb/5118

>>1019527 I thought GCfag was a guy who just says games haven't gotten better since the Gamecube era. Yesterday I realized that people also hate GCfag because he types with weird formatting and sometimes gets mad and tries to yell at you through the internet ("FUCK OFF!") instead of making an argument. How does that relate to what you say? As for ridicule, now you're just saying you don't want people on /v/ to ever say a game is shit. Oh yes, I sure do love whatever badly made SJW shit has been pumped out this month. I'd better, or else I'm bad and chasing away Dave. However, this is also a strange thing to bring up in this argument, since it again doesn't have anything directly to do with GCfag, who usually doesn't even show up until people are already talking about him. As for "hounding," at this point you're literally just complaining about people pointing out when you say dumb shit. >Just let me spout stupid bullshit, or else you're 'hounding' and chasing away Dave! GCfag doesn't seem to do that very much either, but I do, and I know I'm the guy you're really mad at. What you've done is you've found several different people you're mad at for different reasons and merged them all into one giant amalgam. I think you're more mad at me than anybody, but it's not for saying Gamecube is the best or for weird use of redtext, it's literally for chiming in and pointing out when you say something that is fucking retarded. >peddle fake history to conceal their wrongdoing Ironic coming from you. Again, this is a very bad argument to make when everyone can go back and read the conversation. You're only drawing attention to your own bad faith tactics. Also, the Dave you describe is some newfag 4chan faggot who doesn't want anything negative said about things he likes. He doesn't belong here. Of course, in the case of both GCfag and I, and probably the other people you think we both are (apparently some third guy who points out when you refuse to make arguments and instead try to use fallacies), I'm pretty sure nobody you're mad at goes into threads for things they don't like just to complain. I don't. There are tons of threads on the board right now for things I don't like or care about. Most of the times you've accused some other thread of involving me, I had to go and look the thread up, because it was something I never cared about and never read in the first place. And even then, nobody is going in and saying "stop liking what I don't like!" or whatever. And nobody really does that in threads that I do read, either, so I'm skeptical that this even happens much at all here. Sure, I've seen it happen before, but it doesn't seem to happen much here in the last few years. But I'm arguing with you as if you're being sincere and acting in good faith, and everything you're saying really indicates otherwise. You literally just want a place where we don't talk bad about any games, and where nobody points out when you're wrong, and since bad games do exist and we do talk about it (I mean what the fuck do you think this site exists for?), you want to just destroy it by lying, "peddling fake history to conceal your wrongdoing," as you put it. The fact that you keep saying that, when people can go and read the conversation and see you're the one doing it, is really just making it more and more clear that that's what you're doing. You're projecting. It also makes me suspect you're probably a massive samefag, hence why you accuse everyone you don't like of being samefag. >>1019516 A few months ago apparently there was a thread that went on to a tangent about how modern games suck, and one guy said games haven't gotten better since the Gamecube era. Some people got really mad, even though we're on 8chan, and this site basically exists because of how games became utter shit in the years leading up to 2014, and it's a common idea here that games started sucking hard in 2007, and that 1998 was the peak year for video games. So that guy's opinion was sort of unorthodox, since he said Gamecube instead of PS3/360 (which were the current consoles in 2007), but 2007 was closer to Gamecube era than it is to today, so I don't think it's worth getting mad about what is really only a slight break from what has otherwise been a very common opinion around here. By how butthurt this one guy I'm replying to is, and how he keeps making ridiculous accusations of samefagging, even among people who don't share the same opinions (now even act the same), it's making me suspect that most of the butthurt was literally one guy the entire time. Perhaps literally a shill who just wants to destroy 8chan for the purpose of stopping negative discussion of modern games. Note that even in the post I'm replying to before yours, his complaints are literally >don't "ridicule" games (even though the only games people around here really dislike are modern SJW shit) >don't explain why you're right and why he's wrong (that's "hounding") This doesn't even directly relate to GCfag, except for the fact that that guy doesn't love modern games either. But I think the hounding is directly about me, because I tell him he's wrong when he says stupid shit, like the idea that we shouldn't be allowed to point out that modern games are shit. 8chan would be so much better if it was just reddit, right, Dave? Extreme focus on identity and reputation, nothing but positivity about whatever slop is shat out that month, mods that delete opinions you don't like, and no actual analysis and argument. If it would be so great, then why don't you just go there? There are lots of sites exactly like what you want. So why are you here?

Man sure is autism here.

>>1019592 Its the meta thread, what do you expect out of the sewer of the board?

>>1019592 Oh look, it's a hound.

>>1019592 Yeah the Gamecube retard woke up. 77 posts to this thread in a few hours when he was here, 2 posts in 17 hours when he was gone. More replying with fucking novels, samefagging, arguing in bad faith, and misreporting his and others' actions in retrospective.

>>1019589 Man I was just playing into the "GCfag" samefags narratives shit because I thought it was funny but now I unironically think that dude schizo posting about it was right after seeing this shit.

>>1019594 Even the meta thread never got this bad.

>>1019607 Nah it gets pretty bad pretty often, usually as a result of one autist sperging out. Whether it be a spurned webring user, a /cow/ard, niggerpill, luciano, or whoever the boogeyman of the month may be.

>>1019608 Sorry Da/v/e. This is the Ho/v/ndlands now.

>>1019589 >You literally just want a place where we don't talk bad about any games, and where nobody points out when you're wrong Doesn't that basically describe Cuckchan and Leddit? >and one guy said games haven't gotten better since the Gamecube era Except I wasn't even saying that. Someone else used the GameCube as an example for a strawman in a much later thread. Another person tried using the PS2 as a strawman, but that backfired almost immediately because people loved the PS2. My assertion has always been that I haven't seen a game that couldn't have been possible on the PSP and the Dreamcast. However I also acknowledge that almost no one outside of random Indies and devotees are every going to develop anything for 20/25 year old platforms ever again, so I regress my argument to just wanting developers to make video games for the seventh gen (360/PS3) and early eighth gen (Vita/Wii U) platforms again. >This doesn't even directly relate to GCfag, except for the fact that that guy doesn't love modern games either. It's much less that I don't like modern games and more that I don't have the platforms TO play modern games (Outside of my PC, but I refuse to use Steam nor upgrade from W7). And I don't have the platforms to play modern games because I don't want any of the platforms to play modern games. And I don't want any of the platforms to play modern games because Soyny and M$ don't allow you to own your games and most of the games I would see myself playing on the Switch literally already exist on the platforms that I already own. >8chan would be so much better if it was just reddit, right, Dave? <Pic related

>>1019600 I mean it's time 4 or 5 now this Gamecube retard shows up about an hour out from his other IP replying to it like it's someone else. The samefagging's obvious once you start following the conversation and has been to people who have followed the conversation. No one's been schizo, the Gamecube retard just says noticers are paranoid schizos on other IPs and just posts "it's paranoia" horseshit more than people engage it.

An uncontroversial guide to destabilizing a board, unobjected to until GCfag got back. GCfag's hysterical reply essay doing to you and the "Dave" what the guide says while desperately and insincerely defending board destabilization for 12 paragraphs show he's here to destabilize, that's an extreme threat response and "don't destabilize the board" is only threatening to bad actors destabilizing the board. The threat response is an attempt to make mods second-guess themselves and become weaker when dealing with threats so he and other bad actors can become stronger. A paid board destabilizer wouldn't do half the job GCfag does.

@Mark I don't post in the fitness thread but I demand you re-instate it here on regular /v/. It's been a staple for /v/ longer than the AI thread has been, and that's still allowed here. /vb/ is for cuckchan material, and that Fitness thread is hardly what I'd expect to see get many replies on cuckchan. I regained respect for you these past two years, don't let it go by making a mistake like this. Bring fitness back.

>>1015396 >de facto 8moe represents Mark/v/, it hasn't absorbed the other successor sites' communities (Smug->/a/, ZZZ->/vg/+/b/+/k/ F anon.cafe amid others) into itself. >>1015401 Christchurch didn't kill old 8chan per se, but the notoriety it attracted undoubtedly contributed to the blatant gayopping done by ZOGcops after that Spic shootout a few months later where in its thread on /pol/ by this point a wasteland of near extinction some nigger that posted like a boomer fed mixed in with regular anons calling the shooter and each other faggots like usual actually turned out to be a fed because he later supplied screencaps of said thread as evidence in some court thing about alleged terroristes posting on the evil terrorist hacker site Eight chan unfortunately the boomer(s) in charge did not comprehend the (You) feature with every alleged terrorist post being made by the screencapping fed himself.

>>1020750 I only started browsing 8chan around late 2015 - 2016, I have very little memories of what old 8chan was like. And yet, despite it being 5 years since the nuke, this current state all the successor sites are in still feels ephemeral to me.

>>1020759 Because none of the shone nowhere near as bright and have spent more time drama-mongering and playing "muh sekrit club" over rebuilding the community along with multiple other events demoralizing the userbases. All of them opened up too late and the diminished remains are nowhere near anything that would entice new and returning posters alike to staying.

>>1020746 Move the LOL thread then. And the AI thread. And the gamergats thread while youre at it.

>>1020746 It's not even that it's being moved, it's that the board it's been moved was overrun with wojak spam. A lot of it has since been removed but not all I do think all the other non-vidya threads should be moved there, though. Ever since /vb/ was founded I argued LOL and the e-celeb threads should go there. I see absolutely no reason for them on /v/ now that board exists.

>>1020610 Nope, I can't move threads.

>>1020795 Well, then you either need to bust dog's balls for going over your head, OR, you gave the OK for it thus still making you the ultimate reason it got moved to begin with. You can't just say 'hey im totally not responsible' like a kike whistling and looking away as the romans nail jesus to some wood.

>>1020795 Why don't you ask for global powers? You've been friends with Acid for ten years now and you're the longest standing 8chan BO. You wouldn't have to use them for anything other than thread moving.

Mark, mods, Im making the fitness thread again. Do not delete or merge or move it again. There have been atleast 2 previous fitness threads that reached bump limit and had good discussions in them, much more than any of the "off-topic" threads stay up here. /fit/ thread serves an important purpose to people here, both with physical advice and a sane place of improvement inside the entire site, where people are there to help you be better. This place needs good kind of activity and the previous fit threads have shown it does provide exactly that. You and I both know it will not survive in any other board because people don't want to step out of v and don't have that get shit done attitude other than here. That is why its a /v/+/fit/ thread. Don't make the same mistake again. Its bad for both body and soul.

>>1020746 No it isn't a big deal. But you let other threads operate on /v/ that under the same conditions obviously shouldn't be here but would otherwise get no engagement on any other board. People correctly identified this bias and are pointing out the hypocrisy. Almost nothing you do is ever that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. But when virtually every single action you've taken for the last 5 years has been laced in some degree of stupidity you're inevitably going to build up resentment with users. I think the only reason that anons even tolerate you is that you feel too legitimately stupid to genuinely hate as a person.

>>1020800 Dog is a fucking retard that has on multiple occasions done bizarre shit like dismissing reports on obviously rule breaking posts.

>>1020817 >You and I both know it will not survive in any other board because people don't want to step out of v and don't have that get shit done attitude other than here. That is why its a /v/+/fit/ thread. Don't make the same mistake again. Its bad for both body and soul. I do agree with you that currently, barring Spanish boards, /v/ (and maybe /brit/) are the only two other "springboard" boards, but it also may just open up the board for even more off-topic threads. Though how about this: since the /fit/ness thread had already been made some time ago, and people seemed to care about it, we could just make an exception for the threads that have historically been left alone (AI, LOL, Stream, /fit/ etc.) but that's it, we draw the line at those. Would be fairer to people who already used the board for that sort of content, but not to the point that it's an overreach. Still, if you feel so strongly about fitness, please, take ownership of >>>/fit/ and make it a better board.

>>1020823 The site and software are too shitty to properly get organic attention on small boards. The overboard which was already barely useful originally, has become functionally useless after the spics migrated to the site. There is no way for anyone to organically stumble across content without actively looking for it. If someone makes a post on /fit/ how would I even know about it? No one is checking the catalog or index of a bunch of dead boards every day on the off-chance that once in 6 months they might get a new thread or post. I pointed all of these problems out to Codexx years ago and there's been absolutely zero development to deal with what is probably the single largest issue with a site as dead as this.

>>1020824 >The overboard which was already barely useful originally, has become functionally useless after the spics migrated to the site. I mentioned this some time ago already, but we could completely solve this issue by either 1) allowing users to select the preferred language of their own board, and letting people filter overboard posts by language, or 2) adding a very shoddily implemented auto-translate feature that lets you never leave the anglosphere even if stumbling upon latinxers.

>>1020825 Dealing with the spic problem is literally just a matter of implementing a block list for boards on the overboard, which was already explained on multiple occasions to Acid and Codexx. But that still doesn't solve the problem of organic discovery of posts and threads on small boards. That requires probably an overhaul of the overboard and side catalog. The side catalog needs to operate as an overboard with automatic updating. I would give a lot more slack to the developers for not having implemented something like this as it require actual thought to design properly, except for the fact that I explained all of this in detail in to them in like the first 3 months of the site being online and it still hasn't been touched. Obviously a /fit/ thread doesn't really make sense on /v/. But we have obviously reached a point where everyone has to acknowledge we are never getting basic features developed and implemented that would enabled people to talk about niche shit like that. So it either never gets talked about again on 8moe or /v/ acts as a sanctuary for some of that content.

>>1020817 You're doing the Lord's work, anon

>>1020817 I'm sorry, but if you want to make a non vidya thread then feel free to make a /fit/ board or use the thread on /vb/. I hope that we can move threads sooner rather than later. Fitness games are allowed, but note the keyword GAMES.

>>1020823 It is fine, fit, lol, stream, and ai thread all serve their purpose here. We do not have enough activity in those thread to sustain their own boards, so helping them foster here is the next best thing. A good judge of how a thread would work is to see the post quality, the kind of people posting in it, and if it helps the community grow >take ownership of fit I already have one board owned and can't serve time for another unfortunately

>>1020841 >I already have one board owned Then post it there, or make the thread about fitness video games. I'd also like the AI and LOL threads to move to /vb/ as soon as Codexx/Acid allow me to move threads there.

>>1020840 Mark, you have allowed the same threads in the past. They serve important purpose and brings the board's quality up. 'Its not vidya' is not an excuse when other offtopic threads that are barely vidya, also bring good posts and poster here. Those thread also serve their purpose well, just like fit threads will do here, as it has already did here twice before. Stop moving a quality thread because "not vidya" and actually think for the betterment of this place, it won't survive in vb or any other board. We do not have enough population to sustain a separate board, and barely a thread here will survive it. I want quality threads here, have posted many game threads, you and I both know how it won't survive any place other than /v/ at our current activity level. Restore it back and people here will benefit from bringing fitness and a positive thread here. Stop thinking linearly/short sighted for once and look at the overall picture, betterment of the board, teh site and people here, the fit thread (or the other quality offtopic threads) have provided. Do not make another mistake again

>>1020848 Just talk about it in the lounge thread then, the fitness thread doesn't need to exist. Simply make a Fitness Games thread or post about it in the louge thread.

>>1020848 Mark should instead use his political leverage to get Acid or Codexx to openly address the problems with the site and if they ever intend on fixing them so that dead boards have more exposure.

>>1020851 There's only so much they can do, though. I've talked with them about the issues the site has, and they're well aware, Although at the same time they need to focus on their real life careers and goals.

>>1020852 Yeah, so front-end development is completely dead as I suspected. Which means unless people migrate to using a generalist board none of these niche topics will ever get traction. But at least we have like 3 different anti-spam systems that only admins can ever turn on and BO's have zero control over, I guess.

>>1020854 I mean, It's different from the 8prime situation, since Codexx and Acid have been good and honest about the intentions of the site and what they want to do. The fact is that they've just been bogged down with real life issues. For that reason, I don't want to make an open letter or harm them or their work on the site in any way, since I know they're doing the best they can. While I am also frustrated with the lack of progress, I can say that it's absolutely for a good reason.

>>1020850 Is that all you require? A fitness "games" thread. But if the posts inside are talking about regular fitness, with maybe couple of vidya, you'd allow it? Same fitness talks and all?

>>1020856 Yeah, basically. Just mix the fitness talk with some vidya fitness talk and we're golden.

>>1020855 I'm not talking about moving from the site, I'm saying that people need to start using a generalist board on 8moe to mitigate the problems with the fact the software is never going to get the improvements it needs.

>>1020860 Oh yeah, I agree. I think both the board list and the front page need a massive rehaul. Codexx knows, and it'll probably get done next year if past trends are anything to go by.

>>1020860 >generalist board Isn't that what /b/ is supposed to be? But this /b/ sucks. So we now have /vb/, but I think the fact that it has "v" in the name makes people think the content there still needs to be vidya related, so its not wholly general. I would have framed it more as a whole replacement for /b/.

>>1020876 Youre only perpetually butthurt because you pedos got busted out of it.

I'm kind of glad somebody brought up how our /b/ sucks because I get to ask what the hell that's about. It's flooded with lost normalfags and obvious outsiders.

>>1020875 >Isn't that what /b/ is supposed to be? /b/ is incidentally generalist because the point of it is to basically be an unmoderated mess. So not really. >So we now have /vb/ As you said, it's labelled and sold as a video game shit-posting board, not a generalist board. I'd recommend >>>/r9k/ , but I'm biased since I run it.

>>1020892 >/b/ is incidentally generalist because the point of it is to basically be an unmoderated mess. So not really. No. Classic /b/ always had moderation. The rules were "1) ZOMG NONE!!1" and "2) Rule 2 also applies to mods." Mods being able to do whatever they wanted worked well for /b/ when the mods were still good. The problem is all /b/s, including ours, now have terrible moderation. What we need is just one with good moderation. /r9k/ was originally supposed to be sort of like /b/ but without posts being repeated. It was supposed to breed creativity. But it didn't become that. And well I suppose this /r9k/ didn't become anything. Still, I think the robot 9000 might still be a bit more restrictive than it needs to be. /b/ functions well (or used to) as an introduction board, a board for people to go first to learn the culture. Newfag shitposting is part of the point. That said, I also think newfaggotry should be made harder. I think one of the biggest mistakes moot ever made was removing noko, and I'd bring it back. It's not like it was hard to learn how to get around it, but it deterred the biggest of retards. That's not a bug, it's a feature.

>>1020917 Boards being good based on the arbitrary feelings of mods and hoping they are "one of the goods ones" is an absolutely retarded thing to bank on. >/r9k/ was originally supposed to be sort of like /b/ but without posts being repeated. /r9k/ as it has existed on 8chan is just a generalist board with a bit more structure. Either way I don't really care about the sentiments of what boards used to be in whatever ideal state you imagine for them.

>>1020939 >Boards being good based on the arbitrary feelings of mods and hoping they are "one of the goods ones" is an absolutely retarded thing to bank on. I think that's the only thing that's gonna happen anyway. Bad actors are just gonna rules lawyer their way into ruining any board they want anyway. You see it happen here all the time. Or at least they try. Bad actors just won't follow the rules anyway. But they'll use the rules as justification for their actions. In short, constitutionalism is a sham. Benevolent monarchy is the best form of government. It's also the worst form, except for all the others. >/r9k/ as it has existed on 8chan is just a generalist board with a bit more structure. What structure? >Either way I don't really care about the sentiments of what boards used to be in whatever ideal state you imagine for them. Well you should. History is important. Learn from it. How did /b/ used to work when it was good? Recreate that situation. This site's /b/ has shit moderation philosophy. It's about the philosophy. Someone with the philosophy of peak 4/b/ is needed. The part of that philosophy I personally lack is giving enough of a shit to do it myself, though.

>>1020945 >I think that's the only thing that's gonna happen anyway. It doesn't to nearly the same extent outside the board notorious for retarded shit-post spam. Regular boards are significantly more accountable. >What structure? The modern iteration of it is crafted to filter out normalfags. You can check the rules. >Well you should. History is important. Learn from it. What you're referencing in an era of the internet that does not exist anymore. You're referencing history with all context removed. Modern imageboard culture is radically different. /v/ today is radically different to how it was 5 years ago. There is a difference between learning from history and desperately trying to emulate something that has come and gone because you're waxing nostalgia.

>>1020958 >It doesn't to nearly the same extent outside the board notorious for retarded shit-post spam. Regular boards are significantly more accountable. Well we were talking about /b/ in particular. But you seem to agree with me in principle. You seem to agree that it still happens. >/v/ today is radically different to how it was 5 years ago. Is it? I don't think so. I also don't think 5 years ago was any good, either. Plus, I think a lot of the differences are due to moderation changes. And people get used to them and think they aren't changes. Part of this is due to newfags who showed up after the changes. Now, there are definitely some outside changes, like how this site is now actively under attack by various groups, and that needs some attention from the mods, but I think the only real change needed there isn't to the rules, it's just that the mods, who "ZOMG NONE!!1" applies to anyway, should just delete those posts when they see them. Part of the problem with this /b/ is that that board owner lets people who are clearly from these outside groups that want to destroy the site just hang out and keep doing what they're doing. I wouldn't allow that. But how do you make that a "rule?" I don't think you can. Yes it's wishy-washy and hard to prove. But I know it when I see it. This is why we need a wise benevolent monarch. And I don't even think it needs to be that "wise." Mark and the rest sort of do it here. I think this board is much better moderated than /b/. I generally like how this board is run, though I think some of the written rules are superfluous. I just figure a /b/ board run similarly would be good. I'm sort of rambling. I guess part of it comes down to the idea that a well functioning society doesn't need many written laws because the community understands what is and isn't acceptable. Like I'm sure a lot of western jurisdictions don't have laws about not eating cats and dogs, because it's just not done. If your community gets too legalistic, then you just get outsiders saying "Well it's not on the books, so it's fine!" No. It's not. Unwritten community rules are acceptable, so long as the community actually agrees with them. And if the rules that are enforced aren't actually accepted by the community, the community will leave. So be it. Basically, mods need to just be actually representative of regular users. If they were, then there wouldn't be a need for legalism, and there wouldn't be a problem.

>>1020966 >Well we were talking about /b/ in particular. But you seem to agree with me in principle. You seem to agree that it still happens. All boards are ultimately just board owners enforcing their will onto users. The problem with /b/ is that the will being enforced by nature of the board can never really properly be articulated. It isn't supposed to be anything, and a mod isn't really supposed to dictate it as if it's supposed to be anything either. A regular board can have a BO clearly and coherently express the ideas and intentions behind it. And then users can hold that BO accountable to those stated intentions. >>1020966 >Is it? I don't think so. I also don't think 5 years ago was any good, either. Good or bad it was much different. Moderation was different and the users were different. You can see that in archives. This conversation could never take place on /v/ back in the day. >But I know it when I see it. This is why we need a wise benevolent monarch. You do, but they also need to be able to express their intentions and communicate properly. Transparency is the key component. >8chan's success was on the basis of being a callback to a previous better era that everyone would rather be in than this one. This is just sentimental revisionism. 8chan's success was lightning in a bottle because Moot did something retarded during a time of the internet where everyone wasn't fragmented into discord servers and twitter feeds. The way Mark ran /v/ back then didn't call back to anything.

>>1020772 Aren't they games? GamerGate thread is related to games, LOL thread is Penny Arcade which is games, AI thread is AI of games.

>>1020967 >8chan's success was on the basis of being a callback to a previous better era that everyone would rather be in than this one. That was more 420chan than 8chan. 8chan's claim to fame was its lax moderation and lack of a Google captcha.

>>1020857 Fitness thread's reposted at >>1020864 now.

>>1020856 Play by his rules. Basically just make a thread with the pretense of it being about Fitness video games like the FotNS or Ring-Fit but then the thread content itself will be the same as it has always been. In truth, Markus will probably change his mind on this foolish stance later on anyways, it wouldn't be the first time he has done so for other threads of the same ilk.

>>1020982 He already played by Mark's rules and reposted the fitness thread at >>1020864.

>>1020974 The problem with /b/ is that the will being enforced by nature of the board can never really properly be articulated. It isn't supposed to be anything, and a mod isn't really supposed to dictate it as if it's supposed to be anything either. >articulated That's sort of my point. Articulating it is difficult, maybe not even fully possible. Luckily, in a low stakes situation like an imageboard, I think that's fine. Don't articulate it. The community knows what's right and wrong. They just need to have moderation that acts on that knowledge, or, though I'm hesitant to use the word, that "feeling." Frankly, it sort of comes down to that anyway, so what's really important is just finding a board owner who understands that feeling and who is able to not let saboteurs get too high up the chain of those below him. Also, the post above yours gets it. The best time in a long time was right after Gamergate when we all first came to 8chan, and it sort of felt like travelling back in time a few years. It's possible, at least to a degree. We just need a board owner who understands it well and wants that, and has the ability to get mods who also get it. >A regular board can have a BO clearly and coherently express the ideas and intentions behind it. And then users can hold that BO accountable to those stated intentions. My argument is that this just leads to legalistic rules lawyering. The real intent of /v/ has always been essentially "/b/ with video games." Nothing else has really helped. It's just lead to bad actors saying "I'm gonna spam the board every waking hour because I feel that this one rule is unfair and/or misapplied!" The illusion of legalism isn't helping, is my point. >Good or bad it was much different. Moderation was different and the users were different. You can see that in archives. This conversation could never take place on /v/ back in the day. On 8chan? I don't think I have the same interpretation as you on this point. >You do, but they also need to be able to express their intentions and communicate properly. Transparency is the key component. I agree with this. I'm just saying it doesn't need to be with written rules, since I don't think they help much. But a BO and mods who communicate with the users openly and transparently, in the right situations, can be good. moot always did chime in in threads here and there, and Mark does the same here. The problem is that it draws the wrong type of attention sometimes, because it's the ultimate tripfag (though one of the few times tripfagging is appropriate), but there are situations where it's certainly good. Other times just listing the ban reason in that red text below the post can be good, even if the post/user isn't even actually banned. >chan's success was lightning in a bottle because Moot did something retarded during a time of the internet where everyone wasn't fragmented into discord servers and twitter feeds. The way Mark ran /v/ back then didn't call back to anything. It's both. moot fucked up in such a big way that it got everyone to centralize on 8chan, but since the people who left were the good users who recognized 4chan as having become shit, the users of 8chan thus formed a community of relative oldfags, so things got better. But then moot fucked with /pol/, so a bunch of newfags who didn't leave when they first had the chance left because they were personally fucked with. Really fucked with a lot of shit. Of course moderating that would be hard, but I'd argue even moreso with legalistic rules lawyering. On /v/ you can largely say "off topic, take it to (x board)." On /b/, I'd argue for a lot of newfags, just making fun of them with funbans helps significantly. But sometimes you get bad actors. Sometimes deletions really are necessary. But it's hard to define. But I know it when I see it. >>1020985 >plenty of retarded decisions are made on 4chan all the time but they never serve as a catalyst for growth here because this site merely pretends to be what 8chan actually was. All the good users left 4chan no later than Gamergate. You shouldn't want current users of 4chan to come here. Even the /pol/lacks who came just a few months after Gamergate fucked shit up. A bunch of newfags who didn't care about how shit 4chan was until moot personally targeted them. First they came for the /v/irgins, and I said nothing because I was not a /v/irgin...

>>1020985 We're not as dead as you keep saying, look at the post number from months ago until now.

>>1020989 Activity rate isn't that bad here. They're pretty comparable to the rate on 4/v/ back when that site was actually good. Plus, I'd much prefer quality over quantity.

>>1020989 Don't respond to LCP.

There are probably a lot of newfags here from Hispa or elsewhere, so I thought I'd let you know the guy who always posts in lowercase letters and whines about this not being the 'real' 8chan or is only 'pretending' is a straight up pedophile. What he means is we don't allow pedoshit. Prime briefly allowed discussion of pedoshit at two points (once roughly eleven years ago, the other eight years ago; both short lived), and this site briefly did once (easily our biggest mistake, the fuck was Acid thinking). All three times they were booted for the same reason - they wouldn't fucking stop posting CP. Even when Ron disabled images on their boards, even when he begged them to stop or he'd have to violate his lolbert ideals and delete their communities, they still fucking shared links and telegram groups. When he's talking about 'real anons' or 'real 8chan', he means those boards. He's been here for years and for whatever reason intentionally posts in lowercase, thus giving him the moniker 'lowercase pedo' or LCP. It's a persona, and he's been caught not doing it.

>>1020988 >That's sort of my point. Articulating it is difficult, maybe not even fully possible. Luckily, in a low stakes situation like an imageboard, I think that's fine. Don't articulate it. The community knows what's right and wrong. It's definitely not hard to articulate the intention of your rules and board. Perhaps it's difficult or impossible for the average idiot, but for the kind of person that should actually be running a board it's really not much of a task to just honestly express what you're trying to achieve. The community disagrees with Mark all the time and he's constantly criticized for not adhering to his own rule structure and it creates a lot of turmoil. >Also, the post above yours gets it. The post above mine was made by an obsessive pedophile whose vision of returning to the past is allowed CP to be posted on /b/. So you might want to lurk more. >My argument is that this just leads to legalistic rules lawyering. It only leads to that if a BO allows it. You can have clear structure and rules while simply not allowing it to completely dictate every facet of the board. That's the benefit of being a monarch, you can just do everything right instead of pigeon holing yourself into some specific position that is clearly antithetical to a good board. >I'm just saying it doesn't need to be with written rules, since I don't think they help much They don't necessarily have to be rules, but you need to be able to communicate intentions so people understand what is expected of them and what circumstances would result in moderator actions. If people feel like their posts and conversations will just randomly get deleted unless they spend weeks or months analyzing a moderators behavior to grasp the culture he specifically wants to craft for the board then you're just going to have people sticking with whatever devil they know. We're all grown ass men now, no one has time to play autistic games like that.

>>1021003 >It's definitely not hard to articulate the intention of your rules and board. Intention? Pretty easy. Rules? You'll always get jews trying to rules lawyer things. They'll argue over definitions and any areas with the least bit of subjectivity, and when push comes to shove they'll say language is all subjective and they'll start trying to redefine words, since that would then change the meaning of the written rules. >The community disagrees with Mark all the time and he's constantly criticized for not adhering to his own rule structure and it creates a lot of turmoil. This is sort of my point. I think he's well intentioned, and I think a lot of the complaints are rules lawyering from bad actors and general retards. Not to say there aren't actual times when he fucks up, or when one of his mods fucks up, but he generally seems alright with fixing things in those cases. Or backtracking, to use a less favorable term. But an awful lot of the problems I think are due to trying to stick to letters rather than spirits of rules, because that's what happens once you say you're sticking to written rules. Perhaps a list of philosophies would be better than a list of rules. >The post above mine was made by an obsessive pedophile whose vision of returning to the past is allowed CP to be posted on /b/. So you might want to lurk more. Yeah you're right. The particular idea expressed in the letters of that post was correct, but my mistake was missing the spirit that he was actually trying to express. >It only leads to that if a BO allows it. You can have clear structure and rules while simply not allowing it to completely dictate every facet of the board. If you're not allowing the rules to dictate every facet of the board then you aren't following the rules, and then people complain when you don't follow the rules. But yeah, if you put down a list of philosophies, like "look, here's what we're trying to do here, but be aware that these are guidelines and not hard and fast rules." I'm pretty sure this board does that, but I'd emphasize the loose nature more. >They don't necessarily have to be rules, but you need to be able to communicate intentions so people understand what is expected of them and what circumstances would result in moderator actions. Alright. I think we actually agree, pretty much fully. I'm glad we had this talk. I'll check out your board. >If people feel like their posts and conversations will just randomly get deleted unless they spend weeks or months analyzing a moderators behavior to grasp the culture he specifically wants to craft for the board then you're just going to have people sticking with whatever devil they know. Well they should lurk moar. That's important. Plus, if the general culture is just "old 4chan culture," and the mods communicate here and there, with regular posts, or with post warnings with the big red text that's hard to miss, that helps communicate more. But yes, I'm not opposed to a list of guiding philosophies or whatever. That makes sense. I think we ultimately do agree on a lot here.

>>1020993 He keeps saying we're dead when you can look at post numbers from months ago and now and prove we're alive.

>>1020996 If someone's a newfag from Hispa or elsewhere they probably don't know what Prime is or who Acid or Ron are, but good description of the pedophile.

>>1021008 >You'll always get jews trying to rules lawyer things. Bad actors are always going to be bad actors and try to shit things up. Whether or not you have rules in place doesn't make a difference. It benefits the users and you can just ignore people trying to exploit to stir shit. It's a nonissue. >and I think a lot of the complaints are rules lawyering from bad actors and general retards. The majority are not that, but I don't really care about Mark specifically. I came to shill /r9k/ not shit on cakeboy. >If you're not allowing the rules to dictate every facet of the board then you aren't following the rules It completely depends on how a rule is written. There are almost always rules that are clearly written in such a way that they are mostly just an expression of intent. No one cares that Mark isn't following the rules and allowing AI threads on /v/. They care that he isn't applying his lack of following his rules to other popular threads like /fit/. That isn't rules lawyering or getting mad at him for not following the rules, that's being bothered by a lack of consistency in his intentions. >I'll check out your board. It's ded and all the posts are a migrated copy of an ancient version of it so it reads weird.

>>1021011 He described 8chan Prime in this post: >>1015396

>>1021013 >They care that he isn't applying his lack of following his rules to other popular threads like /fit/. He listened to feedback and reversed it. Also, let's be honest, it's a somewhat subjective situation, so I can understand where the disagreement comes from. So even if I disagree, I'm not terribly upset about it, because it seems like a reasonable disagreement.

>>1021019 I mean saying "make the exact same thread but pretend it's about video games in the OP" is a bit of a copout. I don't really care, I'm just using it as a topical way to make a point related to the discussion.

>>1021014 That's 2 weeks ago, I meant his last one now. He wrote to newfags and newfags won't know what we take for granted.

>>1021021 Yeah /v/ is tricky. Frankly I don't think putting it on /vb/ is a problem, since /vb/ is still also video game themed. It makes it so /v/ is thus defined more narrowly than it would otherwise be, if /vb/ was just /b/ instead. This is part of the reason I think /vb/ should not be /vb/, but a more general board, a direct replacement for /b/. I'd have just gone with /b2/, which ended up being better than /b/ on old 8chan. Or /bb/ or something if you want to avoid allusion to a previous board that also only existed due to the site going to shit.

>>1021022 Their problem. They can lurk moar.

>>1021026 Unfortunately, they make it everyone's problem. It's not like if they don't understand they won't be able to post. They'll post, just badly. That's our problem.

>>1021023 That's why I brought up /r9k/ specifically in this case. It exists as a true generalist board where fitness threads would be perfectly suitable. Otherwise I haven't felt inclined to post about it or shill it at all since it never felt appropriate. But ultimately if there's no collective interest that's just how things will be.

>>1021030 You keep saying we're dead when you can look at post numbers from months ago and now and prove we're alive. What's the dates on >>1011030 and yours? That's 10000 posts.

>>1021033 He doesn't care. He has admitted on many occasions to just wanting to ruin the site. He has a stated reason, but I'm not even completely sure that's sincere. It could also be a number of copycats, as there are enough psycho leftists who hate this site to do that. If you see someone not use capital letters, just report and ignore. If it's not him and just a retard that can't type, they still deserve it.

My post link failed, this might succeed: >>>/v/1011030

Nope. Someone better with the board shit can check when 1011030 was posted.

>>1021037 10k posts in about 3 wks.

>>1021041 Don't care, still not dead. 10000 posts that fast isn't dead.

>>1021021 Know thyself and know thy enemy. Mark doesn't ACTUALLY care about video games, he's just living by his own jew neurosis of making up his own arbitrary laws and technically following the letter while not upholding the spirit. As long as it has videogames SOMEWHERE in the OP and thread, the shadow of modor will pass over the thread like the tenth plague on a bloody jew door. >>1021033 >>1021036 Apparently that's MY post, and also it seems to be fucking dead, but other dead posts of a similar number are around September 7th. You also have to factor in spam and bad actors like niggerpill, which i wouldn't conflate with serious activity or earnest discussion. Anyhow, the major problem with /b/, historically since the very nature of 8chan is contrary to this ideology, is other boards. Before there were boards for all other topics, you might find them on /b/. Fitness, cooking, gardening, whiny faggot posting, all of these side by side with porn and memes, but then they all got their own boards, including abstract memesmithing, and now /b/ is nothing but porn and maybe whatever they ban from other boards, but also there's a /trash/ board that people use instead. The only reason to have a /b/ on 8chan is for primitive throwbacks or for people who don't know of a board that may well exist that they can go to, instead.

>>1021088 The issue is that retards keep trying to make boards for things that aren't popular enough to have boards. Frankly, for a site with this level of activity, people should stop trying to make new boards. Not counting the foreigner boards and porn boards, this site can really only support /v/, /b/, and maybe /co/. This /co/ is not very active. I wish we had an /a/, and I see something similar in /wsj/, but that board doesn't seem off to a great start. But that's fine. I could theoretically discuss anime on /b/, if the BO wasn't perfectly fine with it being the resident schitzo board, thus leaving it with practically no activity aside from said schitzos. I wonder if it would make more sense to just have a board that is basically /a/ and /co/ combined. They're both about comics and cartoons. Personally, I don't think of them as very different topics. But I know one group hates the other, and I understand why. Though I personally tend to be more into western cartoons and comics, I hate the culture /co/ has, and frankly has always had. /a/ used to have a much better culture. I don't know now since this /a/ isn't active. >tl;dr: Other boards should only be made essentially as spinoffs to /b/ (and I suppose /v/, since it's basically the "main" board here), when their topics get so much activity there that it begins to flood out everything else, and it's clear that the topic can support its own board.

>>1021044 The post you're quoting doesn't exist, was it deleted?

>>1021095 many such cases

>>1021095 He was responding to LCP before, deleted post was probably LCP's.

Yo, Mark or Vols. Put down the cake & hotpockets for a moment & do this, please: >>1021424 New AI Thread is missing a lot of shit. My bad. OP post is so ludicrously cluttered that I made a resource pastebin instead. It's so much faster to just make an archive & post a pastebin link than have multiple TL;DR long posts. That no one has complained about missing info is a testament to how TL;DR it had become. I know some anons like fuckhuge OP posts to make things look "important" & to raise the barrier of entry with the appearance of "high effort" posts (like git & python weren't filtering ppl from AI from the beginning), but c'mon, just fuckin pastebin it at this point so it's far less intimidating to make the new thread & I'm not waiting weeks for someone else to do it. TL;DR I fucked up the OP & no one even cared because it's so fucking long no one reads it. My solution is to shorten it so fucking it up is more difficult for even idiots like me.

>>1021434 Sure, I'll handle this

>>1021447 Thanks, Zoom. I don't know if everyone is on board with simply linking to a resource list on pastebin, but it's so much tidier & all the info the previous OP posts had is in the pastebin. Maybe since they won't need to copy multiple walls of expanded text next time, someone else can easily make the new thread.

Mark banned me for posting "American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and the late Eddie Murphy while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger penises instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers" in Game of the Month #13 (One Year of Gaming Edition): Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden (PC), a game worshipping niggers with this picture starting the thread.

>>1021460 You were rightfully banned for being an obnoxious newfaggot.

>>1021460 That's a cuckchan copypasta though

>>1021477 >implying Nigger, you trully have no idea what youre talking about and anyone thats been around here long enough can tell.

>>1021487 >nigger worship >Barkley shut up and jam gaiden Like other anons told you, youre trying waaaay too hard to fit in.

>>1021460 you quoted it wrong

>>1021501 >You mean you spamming "newfag" like you did 10x in 4h there and you're doing here. You dont know how IDs work, do you?

>no fun allowed Go back to cuck/pol/ fag, this is /v/. People here can differentiate fiction from reality. The game's currency are literally called "neo-shekels" for that matter, but somehow you act like it's serious propaganda that's destroying /v/.

>>1021526 You do know who acid is, right?

>>1021521 >Being this much of a humorless faggot

>>1021491 I added more niggers, how's this? >The Niggerian culture is niggered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of niggers to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their nigger. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern niggers from niggers. They post sassy niggers about niggers. They watch niggers in worship of niggers. Their niggest event of the year involves throwing niggers in honor of niggers playing niggers. They use nigger slang like "nigger" and "nigga". When you say "nigger" they're not thinking of the father of niggers. They're not thinking. Their niggies are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police niggers disproportionately filled with niggers and their global nigger force of soldierniggers.

They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the nigger's law nigger is a stale joke and they are just niggers to love niggers but the nigger speaks for itself in that Niggeria has always been and will be a nigger of nigger loving niggers

Did you get upset over the Billy memorial threads as well?

>>1021538 Considering you're shitting up a game of the month thread with complaints that have next to nothing to do about the game itself, yeah it is.

Doubt anyone here will care because fuck cuckchan, BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUCKCHAN! Guess what the cuckchanners got for 4chan's birthday this year? Shadowbanning words and Censorship. No seriously. See pic related, cuckchan is sperging out mainly over 'nigger' causing your post to not be posted if its used in a post/thread more than 3x Its not just nigger being censored either, 'faggot', 'kike' and 'tranny' are also being censored sitewide. Using any of these censored words more than 3x (Ex: niggerfaggotkike is fine, but niggerfaggotkiketranny will cause your entire post to be censored because it has more than 3 censored words at a time.) in a post causes your post to not go through even though 4chan will tell you it did go through.

>>1021721 Sounds about right for cuckchan.

>>1021721 >cuckchanners self censoring themselves now out of fear their posts will be blocked >actually using newspeak and saying unalive instead of dead >cuckchanners putting astericks in curse words and other slurs Holy shit LMAO

>>1021721 This seems like it would be an April fools day joke. Normally I'd suggest shilling the site but that's probably a bad idea.

>>1021738 To think some people actually when back there.

>>1021721 Don't call it a grave cuckchanners.

>>1021721 Yet they still won't abandon ship since cuckchan has mass low-quality posting. I suspect the site traffic is mostly bots by now regardless & even if it were real people how would you tell the difference? The canned responses are on the level of Twitch chat or X. Long before the exodus I noticed the userbase kept getting younger & dumber like they barely had a single brain cell among them & I was about sick of it even then. Reddit users live & breathe astroturfed trends & fake outrage so they don't know anything else. They've acclimated & molded to that. Cuckchanners exist in a sea of brain dead posts so that's all they know or can be. They could've seen the writing on the wall over a decade ago had they possessed the intelligence to walk away then. Bunch of stupid tranny kike nigger faggots who never learn. They get what they tolerate.

What are the chances some of the 8chan anons went to soyjak.party after the nuke? When it was eventually made of course.

>>1021845 I'd probably say likely, but i'd also ask 'which board?' I doubt any of them from /pol/ went, but i bet a lot of leftyfags did.

>>1021845 I saw a couple that outright admit to it on Foxdick.

>>1021845 >>1021877 Considering basically all of the spammers (besides LCP and blue dog pokemon) left 8chan, I wouldn't be surprised. >>1021855 The lefties went to their own site, bunkerchan. Though they have had a major impact on soyjak "culture" for having created chudjak.

>>1021721 The absolute STATE of cuckchan

>>1021830 This. Halfchan was horrible by like 2011 at the latest, and the peak was maybe five years before that. By 2014, I didn't even leave because I was mad about Gamergate getting banned (though I was), I left because the site had sucked for years and there was finally a viable alternative.

Since when is merely mentioning that posts have been deleted ‘meta’? Stop using ‘meta’ as an excuse to delete things you dislike.

>>1023481 when tubby talmud gets angry at something and wants an excuse to delete it, see also 'video games'

>>1023484 Makes posts like this >>1021721 one rather ironic.

>>1023486 That one IS in the meta thread, though. What you need to do is find a meta post that mark made OUTSIDE the meta thread and then call him on his hypocrisy. As a side note, it'll be time for the yearly thanksgiving thread, which has NOTHING TO DO WITH VIDEO GAMES, and i found another ho-oh turkey porn pic to post when it comes up.

They also disliked and deleted this graph in a thread of people mocking male attraction to younger females. The data's deleted but the mocking's still up.

>>1023489 >13-16 >pedophilia

>>1023490 It's not pedophilia, studies normal men and not pedophiles, and countered mocking that only pedophiles are attracted to younger females by proving normal men are attracted to younger females. For posting science, the poster was called a "legitimate pedophile trying to blend in," then deleted.

>>1020802 Acid and Codexx don't want to give them to me because of what happened on Fatchan and how they would prove "the webring right" by giving me global duties. This is in spite of them knowing that I didn't really know what I was doing with Fatchan's tools, and that I just needed to take a break for a week. Personally, I find it a bit ridiculous that they don't want me to at least have emergency global duties for when LCP posts CP and whatever. Although I'm honestly planning on resigning if a paid gig requires me to do so, and I've told them that I'll work on assigning a successor once I get the position. I think they're just worried about people not wanting to come here because I'm associated with this project, which is kinda weird considering that I put my time and money down to help out with this. Although, I just do it on the side at this point. Besides, I'm thinking of learning JavaScript in order to make a more average Joe centric imageboard to both take away marketshare from reddit/4chan. I have some ideas that I want to try, that wouldn't really fly with you guys since you know how tech works, although normals will pay for convince. That and we would probably need some sort of financial backing to have a website like this on an advertiser friendly scale.

>>1023521 >This is in spite of them knowing that I didn't really know what I was doing with Fatchan's tools So, instead of the tools being limited, they're just difficult, and it's totally not because you lost your shit at people busting your balls, right? Also you could have taken a week off without nuking the entire board, you just didn't want to risk losing control by handing power to someone else temporarily. >Personally, I find it a bit ridiculous Maybe they, and many others, can tell something about you that you're oblivious to, willfully or otherwise. >I'm honestly planning on resigning if a paid gig requires me to do so Ah yes, the 'six figure, twelve hour work week' job you're hunting for. I'm sure you'll get it any day now, fingers crossed. >normals NormalFAG or normalNIGGER, say it right. Anything less proves you're as much of a social climber cocksucker as moot was. The less you're in step with the degenerate outsiders, the less you belong here and more you should be on reddit and discord.

>>1023530 >So, instead of the tools being limited, they're just difficult, and it's totally not because you lost your shit at people busting your balls, right? Also you could have taken a week off without nuking the entire board, you just didn't want to risk losing control by handing power to someone else temporarily. Like I said MANY TIMES, my intention wasn't to nuke the fatchan board but delete the account associated with it so I could take a break for a week, and get my shit together. That being said it's obvious you're a disingenuous cunt, but I at least owe that much of an explanation.

>>1023533 And why did you HAVE to delete your account? Why couldn't you just walk away? Why did you feel it was necessary to unmake your profile on this website that, unless i'm mistaken, nobody would have seen regardless of you being on it? You didn't have to delete anything, unless you were so assblasted at people rattling your bones that you had to forcefully cut yourself off in ways nobody but you or Tom (p sure that was his name) would have noticed. There's nobody more disingenuous than you, who keeps 'mistaking history' in ways that make yourself seem less retarded.

>>1023521 >I think they're just worried about people not wanting to come here because I'm associated with this project That was only justified before everyone learned that Acid was an even bigger retard than you. So it doesn't really make sense anymore since him and his decisions have clearly far surpassed any problem people have with you personally. >Besides, I'm thinking of learning JavaScript in order to make a more average Joe centric imageboard to both take away marketshare from reddit/4chan. Retarded. >>1023530 >Maybe they, and many others, can tell something about you that you're oblivious to, willfully or otherwise. No, Acid is just extremely stubborn and only concedes after he's caused maximum damage by dying on his hill. Except in this case Mark not being a global doesn't cause very much damage.

>>1023488 You misunderstood. That post was criticising cuckchan’s draconian moderation. This is ironic because mods here consider so much as mentioning that posts have been deleted not even mentioning who deleted them as meta. More accurately, they do so when it suits them.

>>1023521 >I think they're just worried about people not wanting to come here because I'm associated with this project, which is kinda weird considering that I put my time and money down to help out with this. I don't think that's very fair to you tbh Mark. The only people who won't come here because of you are long time anons, and they won't come anyway at this point because they've all settled into their own boards on their own sites. If Acid wants to draw in new blood then he should probably hide the Goddamn animal fucking board HOLY SHIT NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT SHIT! Did you know they have a fucking roadkill-fucking thread? What the hell is wrong with those people!?

>>1023540 I TRIED reviving vch.moe and speaking to the rest of my team, but only a few of the old team would respond to me, since they didn't want to get involved with the drama. That being said, the old admin of vch.moe didn't want to get involved either, which is why I went to Josh and fatchan in the first place. I deleted my fatchan account because I didn't want to log in for the week and wanted to reconsider everything I've been doing up to that point. I know you're coming from a place of bad faith, but those of those watching our discussion in good faith, please consider in an extremely short amount of time, I lost my literal source of income, my family was falling apart, COVID was ongoing, and life was becoming hell. That being said, I stuck up for anons who were upset with the direction 8kunny was going in, and I outright called out the lack of transparency knowing full well that it would likely cost me my job. It wasn't even about the money either, the salary was a shitty 2,000 a month, that's barely livable in my area. What I was concerned about was maintaining what community we had left after Jim pulled Infinity Next 2.0 because he couldn't get journalists to pay for news articles on /newsplus/, so in a fit, he decided to rebrand the site to make it more advertiser friendly. Fucking Fredrick knew about the rebrand before I did, they didn't tell me shit. I just wanted to trust them, until Jim went mask off privately, and I realized that I was being lied to about everything. So yeah, it wasn't the best move, it wasn't a rational move, nor was it what I intended. That being said, after being in such an emotional state and trying to explain things only met with personal attacks like the one you're making right now, it's almost like a group of people planned for me to lose my shit and outright quit. Any normal person would under the circumstances. It's how I know you're not arguing in good faith because we've had these discussions before, and you have 18 posts bitching about me when you could easily go to sleepychan, 4chan, kiwifarms, twitter, etc. yet here you are bitching about poor ol' me. What's clear is that I needed that break, and I shouldn't have tried to salvage what we had at the time. As Acid predicted, Fatchan fell because they relied on the corrupt tier one ISP structure that would use later try to take down kiwifarms. The difference is that Acid KNEW the alternatives and was smart enough to prepare a backup situation in which Cloudflare gave us the boot, which they inevitably did. I'm thankful for what we have now, it's not what we used to have, but unlike Jim, Acid and Codexx legitimately mean well. Also lick my anus. >>1023549 >Retarded. You'd think so, but people literally pay for Crunchyroll on their phones just so they can access Anime in a retard proof way. I have a theory I want to try out. Although I have a ton to learn ahead of me before I start working on such a project, which can be applied to other projects if it doesn't work out. So it's a win/win either way. >>1023554 I'm sorry, but bitching about me in the GG thread is going to get you the banhammer. Either take that shit here or out of the board. There's a reason we have a meta thread in the first place. Don't like it, try talking about video games instead. >>1023557 I agree that /zoo/ shouldn't probably be allowed on the site. Although the original 8chan was known for pushing the legal boundaries of what's allowed on the internet. So I think that unless we get a large amount of complaints that on an administrative level, Acid/Codexx shouldn't do anything, but they also shouldn't die on the animal love hill like they should for lolishit since real animals are being abused, and apparently that shit is legal in the states. I wish it wasn't, and I'd ban it on sight here. Although here we are.

>>1023557 >Did you know they have a fucking roadkill-fucking thread? No, but you knew.

>>1023558 Acid's lolbert shit confuses me. I still can't believe he allowed that pedo board briefly, that took us right off the webring and we deserved it honestly.

>>1023562 I know where he's coming from, I don't agree with some of it. Although I respect it.

>>1023558 i got (18) posts shitting on you, and another 18 before my IP reset two weeks ago, because i'm here to use the GG thread as a water cooler since it's more relatable than trying to use kohlchan's /int/ or either this site's or zzz's /b/ as a replacement for vague social interaction, but also every now and again you have to plop into the thread, get arbitrarily infuriated, and start deleting shit to make yourself feel like you're doing something with your life. I got complaints here because if i had them on halfchan they'd be summarily dismissed and ignored; at least here i can try to get you to be less retarded, AND LAWD HOW I TRY, but it is a struggle and i'm not sure how effective any of it is until you stop being retarded for weeks at a time. You can yell bad faith all you like to dismiss criticism of yourself, and probably not even undue criticism since other people call you out too, but if i had NO faith i definitely wouldn't stick around. That or, like most people, i'm an idiot of routine and can't break my own habits; maybe both, but definitely the first thing where you're a shitbitch. also you say things like 'lick my anus' and then get confused when people post that butthole pic

>>1023566 >also you say things like 'lick my anus' and then get confused when people post that butthole pic

>>1023558 >I'm sorry, but bitching about me in the GG thread i I stated in the gay thread that half of the posts shitting on gays were deleted. I did not even say the word ‘mod’, much less mention you. Not that either are valid grounds for deleting posts anyway.

>>1023559 I keep a check on the overboard to see if there's any interesting threads on boards I don't usually brows and also to global report any illegal spam.

>>1023558 >You'd think so, but people literally pay for Crunchyroll on their phones just so they can access Anime in a retard proof way High quality officially released anime content that enables you to steam content from wherever you have internet without the need for a server is not really analogous to the commercial value of esoteric rambling on internet forums. And even if it was, you're not competing with reddit and 4chan, you're competing with discord which is basically impossible to beat in terms of features. The only reason this site has any activity at all is because you can access it for free with an obfuscated IP. >I agree that /zoo/ shouldn't probably be allowed on the site. There is nothing wrong with /zoo/ from a legal or ethical perspective. It's no more offensive or degenerate than gay interracial porn. We systematically breed and slaughter billions of animals, some retards abusing and fucking them is trivial by comparison. Unless you're a vegan there is no logical reason to care about animal abuse as isolated incidents. It's not comparable to the exploitation of children in any way.

No, (((LCP))), the site still isn't going to allow you to pose CP.

Hold up a second, wasn't the post I replied to talking about child slave labor? I'm not losing it already, am I? Or I need to stop posting so late into the night.

>>1023629 No, I can't be suffering from schizophrenia already. I'm not even on meds nor a wizard.

>>1023628 No, you're not schizophrenic. Look at the last paragraph of 103b22's previous post. >>1023606

>>1021721 Zeta did this exact same shit on Hispachan and it blew up on his face. >>1021830 From what I've talked to 4chan anons, there are a couple of dozen of effortposters but they don't move to somewhere else because they are either oldfags from way before 4chan went to shit or people who doesn't like the lack of activity on other alternatives. I do think it should be explained to them that it's no longer worthy to stay on 4chan and they could have effortpost, quality moderation and activity in places like these.

>>1023816 You know what Latinons, I still don't know what happened at your place, why did you leave Hispa a second time?

>>1023816 >but they don't move to somewhere else because they are either oldfags from way before 4chan went to shit or people who doesn't like the lack of activity on other alternatives. Bullshit. The actual oldfags left over a decade ago. Even back then you hardly ever saw any of them on 4chan after Chanology and the Stormfront flood. Since then I have found several oldfags on these little chans, because there really is no other place left to go.

>>1023825 I'm probably wrong, I say they are oldfags because they talk about shit that happened on 2008 like it was yesterday, it reminds me how some bandada anons talk about 6-chan shit from almost 20 years ago; it's the kind of vibe I get. But I guess the second point stands if you don't believe the first one, they are too used to 4chan's pph to move their asses here and to be fair, there are a lot of projects and subjects on 4chan that wouldn't get any activity here. >>1023823 The site closed up by admin decision, basically.

>>1023869 If they were really oldfags they would have left when Gamergate happened, at the latest. True oldfags already think 2008 is too late anyway. Chanology is the cutoff.

>>1023887 >says the pedo that would rather fuck over every single anon and get us deplatformed again aslong as he can share CP with his friends

>>1023906 You were always parasytes, dont try to play the victim card, every IB that gets infested with pedos dies.

Mark, want to restore this thread: >>>/v/1023714 >Former PlayStation head says there's an 'existential crisis' of consoles as platform sales haven't increased in 25 years The fag of an OP deleted the thread because he was afraid of "spergs" ruining it. Here's an archive of the thread I made as soon as the guy announced that he was deleting it: https://archive.md/1KQ8a

>>1023910 Keep it deleted, it's funny the board neurodivergents got their playtime ruined

>>1023910 OP can delete threads here?

>>1023705 you can literally search my id in this thread to see what ive posted here, including the one where i mention my old id number; do some research, faggot

>>1023915 Ah yes, the "magic pedo" theory. If it allows CP to stay up it's magically good, and if it doesn't it's magically bad.

>>1023910 If it's going to be restored Mark should at least wipe the GC autism, but is there really anywhere else for the topic to go? It's just going to be another 300+ post battleground about how gaming hasn't improved with little insight on how the console industry will maneuver through its stagnated playerbase. It would be better if the post was remade in minor news.

>>1023924 >It's just going to be another 300+ post battleground about how gaming hasn't improved with little insight on how the console industry will maneuver through its stagnated playerbase How about firing all of the people that currently comprises the managmment and senior positions at these companies, abandon all of the new technology and software that doesn't work but hasn't stopped them from spending the past dceade and a half trying to shove it down people's throats, and go back to using the software that we KNOW works and using the devices that people knew for having good games. Simple three step process, that's all they need to do.

>>1023925 Yep, you're butthurt playtime was ruined. Make your own thread to sperg in like you used to and leave the rest of the board alone.

>>1023925 I'm one of the guys the one guy sperged at. (I think the one who made him really mad.) You're making us look bad, though. This thread isn't the place for your complaints or ideas about the actual topic. But yeah, the thread is just gonna be "why did sales plateau 25 years ago?" And the basic answers are because games didnt get better, at least at a rate fast enough to outpace how bad business practices were getting. Everything else will be getting more specifically into those basic ideas. Its gonna be difficult to have a discussion about sales plateauing 25 years ago when we have a guy who freaks out and samefags (and accuses everyone else of doing that) whenever anyone points out that games aren't currently at an all time high of quality.

>>1023927 The OP was wise to ruin his playtime and delete that thread. GCtard was IP hopping there to fake a board-wide consensus when challenged again, like he does every time he's challenged. Before that autismo started sperging I was literally arguing PS1 games were better than newer games, and that mouthbreathing dittofag still tried to say I'm some dude angry older games are better, like he does every time he's challenged. Now he's sperging his dittoshit here, this autismo probably holds the record for threads spoiled.

>>1023927 >you're I think the guy you replied to is the real original GCfag, but I'm the first guy you were mad at in the other thread. There was at least one other guy you were mad at there, too. I'm not sure if that guy was real original GCfag or not.

>>1023929 Then why were you mad? The archive is there. You can point to the post that made you mad. I'm not even sure if actual GCfag was in the thread, because nobody was arguing that older hardware was better. You just got mad at the idea that 1998 was peak vidya, which is a very old /v/ idea/meme. You also gotta stop calling everyone samefag. It makes you look like an idiot, and calls attention to your own very recognizable style of speech, which makes it more obvious that you're actually samefagging.

Actually, here you go anon. I took the liberty of making a playpen thread for you. >>1023932

>>1023927 Also threads shouldn't be undeleted after OPs delete them just because it interrupted some tard's sperging, that makes a delete thread feature pointless. Either have the feature or don't, but don't reverse decisions of good users over the IP hopping autismo's PO. He's making this thread bad enough as shit is.

>>1023935 You make a decent argument that threads being undeleted defeats the point of having a delete feature. Remaking as a new thread might be more appropriate. But you are literally a niggerpill-tier faggot for accusing everyone who holds bog-standard /v/ opinions as IP hopping. You'd be better off calling them hiveminded retards with no real opinions, since the opinions that set you off are so common around here, and have been for well over a decade. Did /v/ ever like new games? Not in at least 18 years (which is actually before 2007. I think they sort of got stockholmed into admitting 2006 was good by comparison to later eras).

>>1023942 You repeat this same series of insanely specific actions and accusations every time anyone recognizes you GCtard, fuck off. Your shit isn't worth my time.

Instead of deleting the thread just report the posts.

>>1023915 Best for the pedos, not best for anyone else.

>>1023935 You can't disable thread deletion without disabling all post deletion. Self-deletion of threads is rarely useful, self-deletion of posts is rather common. Lynxchan is ass

>>1023998 Desperate your turn

>>1023910 The thread should be restored because OP is a Faggot

>>1023872 Welp, the guys I'm taking about don't post on /v/ or /pol/ so probably whatever 8chan was providing at the time it wasn't interesting enough to migrate. But again, I don't have hard evidence, just vibes so take it like a grain of salt. >>1023995 Blame the current /hisparefugio/ administration for that. Nobody likes those retards, they ruined Hispachan twice, but he's too big of a coward to do something with them

>>1023947 >Lynxchan is ass Can confirm. >t. another board owner

>>1023943 Literally no you, faggot. The thread you're mad about is still up and people can go and read it. Here, I'll link to particular posts. >>1023743 >Post says a bunch of stuff about the history of Sony, including the line >make a second, better console with better games because you know what you're doing. >>1023856 >replying to previous Sony history post regarding things like how the guy said PS1 played DVDs and how PS2 playing DVDs contributed to e-waste. Also throws in replying line saying >PS1 totally had better games than PS2. >>1023859 >>1023863 >some replies to previous post, specifically disagreeing that PS1 had better games than PS2 This is met with a reply saying... >>1023864 >Vidya peaked in 1998. It's a scientific fact. You get butthurt and reply with... >>1023875 >Oh god it's another flavour of GCtard nostalgia faggotry. That's the specific post that set you off. It's there for everyone to see, so don't try to pretend otherwise. People know what you do, so your bullshit is immediately met with... >>1023884 "And there goes the thread." The rest of the thread is still there, too. But that is the specific post that set you off. When people then reply to you, you call them all samefags, while obviously samefagging yourself. The posts you're accusing of samefagging are generally actually thoughtful, at least a few sentences, while you can't be bothered to do that, as seen in posts like >>1023896 >>1024112 Where you also do the thing where you reply not to the post you're talking about, but to "not yourself," because you've apparently picked up the SJW tactic of not replying directly so that people won't as easily see the posts you're talking about (and thus see you're wrong/lying), and so the person you're talking about won't as easily reply. You're very transparent, and it's time Mark just started banning you. You deliberately ruin threads, and you accuse others of doing things you're obviously doing. Other people are having an organic discussion, replying specifically to things people said earlier in the thread, discussing ideas. Even if there are tangents, they're natural, as we can see here. You get set off whenever anyone says particular things. You say you were saying PS1 games were better than PS2 games, but the post saying 1998 was peak vidya was the specific one that set you off. You're clearly just trying to start shit every time. Mark, it's time you start banning this faggot on sight, like Lucario and LCP. Just go look at the thread in question. You've probably seen the others, too. His actions are absurdly transparent. I'm very hesitant to argue for bans, but this guy keeps trying to do it, each time with his non-responses. He just looks for excuses to ruin threads. It's at the point where simple opinions like "vidya was better at x moment in the past" can't be said without him freaking out and deliberately trying to ruin the thread. He somehow thinks someone saying 1998 was best is the same as a guy saying Gamecube was best, and he tries to ruin threads on the idea that that one guy is samefagging. It makes no fucking sense, and he knows it, and you know it. He accuses others of trying to manufacture consent by samefagging, despite different opinions, when really what he's doing is making it impossible to express certain opinions without conversations or whole threads being deleted. And you of all people know it's an opinion that's been common on /v/ forever, and not one that can be "manufactured," since it's always been common here. You know this. You're the one user of this site that we actually know has been here long enough to know that. Everyone else could theoretically be a newfag, but we know you aren't. You know his claims make no sense, and you know all he's doing is trying to make it impossible to express certain opinions about vidya (that being that "vidya was better at x moment in the past." Could be any moment. Multiple different ones set him off and make him say you're samefagging) on your video games board. I don't even care about each individual conversation, because we can see that each time he gets mad, it's at a conversation that developed organically. And you could even argue it's a tangent, but it's not more of a tangent than we ever have on this board. And usually the tangent would die out anyway since it's not a big deal, and the main topic is still going on. But he has to freak out every time. Go read the thread he's mad at this time. Go read the previous ones. ctrl+F for "GCfag" or "GCtard" or whatever else, so you can search through them more easily if you need to. You can see what he's doing, and it's clearly at the point where he needs to be banned on fucking sight. And that's not even to say the actual GCfag is not himself an annoying sperg. Frankly, I don't think it's because of his opinions, but because of the way he writes. But he doesn't set out to ruin threads like this faggot does. He isn't even in a lot of the threads in question, and it's easy to tell when he is because of the way he writes and a very specific opinion he says. Plus he's proud of it and doesn't deny when it is him. He's also sometimes annoying with his writing style in other conversations that have nothing to do with this topic. That said, he's nothing compared to this faggot who accuses everyone of being him. That guy is the real "GCfag." The guy he calls "GCfag" isn't even talking about Gamecube most of the time he recognizably posts. We need a name for the guy who freaks out whenever someone says Gamecube is the best, or PS1 is the best, or PS3 is the best, or Super Nintendo is the best, and since he accuses everyone who holds any opinion like those of being "GCfag," "GCfagfag" seems like probably the best name for him. Because clearly it's not even really about the opinions for him. He's just trying to ruin the site. I'll try not to reply to him anymore, because he's clearly fishing for responses so as to ruin threads. Of course that's not enough, because you'll frequently find his posts followed up by "other people" replying to him, or rather, replying to the same things he's replying to, but quoting him for some reason. These "other people" all reply with the same short posts, with the same specific kind of poor grammar, with the same "oh my god" trying to act cool attitude that you never see elsewhere on this board. And "they" all accuse anyone who disagrees with him of samefagging, despite different opinions on the specific issue he's mad about, and different posting styles, including often having ongoing conversations in the very posts he's mad about where they disagree with each other on other things. And then he gets conversations deleted for being off-topic, but they become more off-topic because he makes them about himself and his amalgamated antagonist. If you want to stop that from happening, it's time you start banning "GCfagFag" on sight. If you also dislike what other people, including real GCfag, do, then so be it. Ban them. I don't even give a fuck. The actual "GCfag" is also annoying sometimes (but not for the reason GCfagFag is mad at). Ban me, too, if you think I'm the problem. But I know you're not so stupid as to fall for this retard's bullshit. I know if you read the threads he sets out to ruin, you can see exactly what's going on. Call me an autist who writes too much on this chinese cartoon imageboard, and if you don't want this type of autism around either, so be it. But you can see what GCfagFag is doing, it's clear as day, and he's reaching the point of getting other anons to delete their threads out of frustration. His only defense is to accuse everyone else of samefagging for saying an opinion that you know is a very old one, practically a meme. You can see what's going on, everyone else can see what's going on, and we can also see that the majority of the posts that disagree are going to be one-line accusations of samefagging, with the posting style I described above. Maybe one will actually be a real response (still stupid, but more than one line), but go look at this very thread. The pattern is seen right here. Maybe, if we're lucky, this post will make him at least change up his tactics so they're a little less transparent and thus a little less annoying, but I doubt he has the brainpower for that.

>>1024568 You see LCP, this is the level of autism you need to aspire to.

>>1024341 You are a white woman.

>>1024580 LCP couldn't shit things up half as bad as GCfag's walls of text and manipulative samefaggotry if he put in 10 times the effort.

>>1024589 "Wall of text" means it's unbroken. That's why it's a wall. Maybe you could bend the definition a bit in colloquial use, but you're talking about a post with many small paragraphs, the biggest only being like five lines long. You should lurk moar and learn some internet lingo before attempting what you're attempting.

>>1024592 >another wall of text smh

>>1024568 You absolute mongoloid.

>>1024596 We are all aware of what IDs are. Your post means nothing. This is the world we live in once samefag accusations start getting thrown around.

>>1024599 You STILL dont know how IDs work.

>>1024600 Mark can read the posts in question and judge for himself. It truly is pointless arguing with you any more. You're not actually making any arguments.

>>1024602 >not an argument

>>1024603 Extreme 1500-word threat responses like GCfag's don't happen on his behalf, only GCfag feels it's plausible anyone cares that much about him. He does it whenever identified, 50K characters/10K words of that manipulation just from his 10bf95 here, about 90K between them all. For newfags, GCfag always IP hops, derails many threads, snuffs out discussion, shits on everything, argues in bad faith, crafts these narratives, and runs guys off more than anyone. Big problem for /v/ and always spurting out anything to make mods second-guess themselves and become weaker so he can become stronger (notice he demands Mark's attention). See >>1012734, >>1007768, >>1007782, >>1007899, >>1007984, >>1008041, >>1008059, >>1008062, >>1008069, >>1008071, >>1008131, >>1008139, >>1008260, >>1008389, >>1012599, >>1012633, >>1012686, >>1012743, >>1012765, >>1012787, >>1012957, >>1012964, >>1013087, >>1019186, >>1019211, >>1019221, >>1019231, >>1019235, >>1019240, >>1019255, >>1019280, >>1019325, >>1019328, >>1019527. He's at this again right as some of these disappear. I went into the thread, it's obviously GCfag. It's known he's never off 8chan and he attacked b0742b for "another flavour of GCtard" 11 minutes after he posted it. He samefags from 965938 to f071eb minutes after being told he's fucking up the thread to call that person a newfag and make the same "gaming didn't improve after 2007" argument, in the style he always does, with the points he always makes, mixed with the political irrelevance he always posts, then switches back to 965938 5 minutes later, repeating his usual points and phrases you can see in that thread, this Meta thread, the Bungie thread, the PS5 Pro thread, the Japanese thread and every thread where he did this. Only then people realized it's him. He even did his "you're the samefag defensive about modern games" script he always does when identified, on someone actually arguing old Playstation's better, just because that person realized he's GCfag. Just another thread he's fucked up.

>>1024620 >GCfags anti-ego shows up Who's writing this shit

>>1024623 Some guy with dissociative identity disorder.

Where do GCfag and anti-GCfag fit on the Luciano family tree?

This thread is for /v/-related issues. For the implications of fucking animals, ask /zoo/'s BO at >>>/zoo/14 For stuff concerning the rest of the site, go annoy the admins at >>>/site/5423

>>1024888 Some posts deleted had interesting discussion of /v/-related issues even if LCP was buzzing around being annoying.

I just want it on the record that I regret ever creating the "has gaming evolved since the gamecube" thread. I never thought something like GCfag would be born as a result of a simple thread. And to reiterate, I think gaming has evolved a little bit since then. Just not as much as I'd have hoped.

I'll keep my post to /v/-related issues without the overboard discussion this time. /v/ was good but it's becoming birdbrains who believe they're brilliant for typing keyboard diarrhea. I don't desire interaction with cyberhermits who don't game but manically meander on delirious diatribes of objective wrongs to scorn with sophistry all games except the few they endorse. Enjoy those games only or proxyfags overextend themselves across IP addresses to torpedo you in random gamethreads. The Gamecubefag's probably the worst of these turds to squeeze out of shit boards but shit conduct is shit conduct no matter what asshole produces the shit. Take bait? Your entire evening's DoS attacked by argumentum ad infinitum while the debater gives no ground and repeats what you debunked. Don't? "You have no argument," followed by long episodes of snooty autofellatio. Either? Get scapegoated as a sycophant, soyboy, shill, schizo, newfag, outsider (4chan/Reddit), or something scorned as you're skewered. The biggest cyberhermits (Gamecubefag, Luciano Keklands, Lowercase Pedo, the nameless transgender), are moored here by commitment bias and will stay moored here forever. They want to censor like the tranny jannies on Twitter. Gamecubefag, his proxyfagging uncovered as usual and fearing his imagined grip on people is slipping away, even directly demands censorship by banhammer in this thread of those who note his subterfuge. If they can't manipulate banhammers, they censor more weakly through causing frustration. When their subterfuge is endangered by someone's posts, or they're offended by an opinion, their shared goal with censors is "stop him from posting," which they take any steps to manifest, while sending mixed virtue signals they're anti-censorship as fog for their suppressive intentions. It became pointless to post on /v/ about games I play, because /v/ became non-gamer at best, but realistically anti-gamer. An anti-gamer board doesn't interest me, so I migrated former effortposts away from here. Each time I peek in or stop by the problems have only escalated. I don't ask that anything change, I moved on. I'm only reporting my experience.

>>1024909 tl;dr

<every time you say something stupid people call you on it and it frustrates you isn't censorship. <you're responsible for your own emotional reactions to whats being said to you. <its not the responsibility of everyone else to avoid frustrating you so that you feel welcomed to post more and their refusal to alter their behavior to suit you doesn't mean they're censoring you.

>>1024915 If I stop reservations at a restaurant that now serves no food I like and is bustling with provocateurs kicking the tables while snarling at everyone, and I eat instead at another, it's not emotional reactions or stupid thoughts, it's a rational upgrade. My choices keep me free, while your emotional reactions entrap you in an eternal power struggle with Mark and Acid. In the same way, it's not my responsibility to ride with you on your carousel of chicanery, so play by yourself.

>>1024927 This fly's buzzing loud. Hey LCP you should cut off your nuts so your mutilated micropenis doesn't nonce on the kids. Do anything else and you're a scared little emotional crybaby bitch.

>>1024935 (You)

>>1024945 I'd like to draw attention to the fact it's time for your appointment!

>>1024948 Are you brain damaged? The shitty AI images that you like so much blur right into the some weird uncanny valley aesthetic that only actual pedophiles are interested, don't clump anime lolis into being the same as you having literal damage in your sexual attraction centers.

>>1024949 He spams /v/ with real Democrat activism too.

>>1024951 I forgot about that filter. Real kids, no clothes.

>>1024949 This, we have gatekeeping measures and we will enforce them. We're not making shit up for the rules. >>1024951 That wordfilter is completely idiotic though. Should just replace the letters in the word with similar looking characters to trip up text scrapers rather than not letting people use it in the first place

>>1024954 >That wordfilter is completely idiotic though. Should just replace the letters in the word with similar looking characters to trip up text scrapers rather than not letting people use it in the first place Yeah, "real kids, no clothes" was just faster than hunting down similar looking characters.

Is it a global filter or can Mark change it?

>>1024957 Should be changed if it's a joke without deeper reason behind it

>>1024957 Global filter. Blame LCP

>>1024568 /co/ teacher, you have to realize that this person doesn't care. He's seems to be the same type of poster (Don't mistake that as being the "same guy") as the shill who was defending REm4ke all the way up to release and demanding that people be banned for trashing it because it's "one person IP hopping to build a consensus", or the people who constantly sperg whenever that Western vidya chart is posted.

Stay tuned for the Sims 3 sitcom. I ideally want this ready by this upcoming Saturday. We'll watch it here: https://cytu.be/r/8duels I've been procrastinating a little, but I'm going to make the last characters & see what I can do.

I noticed a consistent behavior to GCfag's IP hopping. When no one's paying any attention anymore to his latest pile-up of paragraphs, he'll IP hop and >> it with some short reply.

>>1024580 >>1024568 MA BOI! THIS AUTISM IS WHAT ALL TRUE SHITPOSTERS STRIVE FOR!

>>1025055 There it goes again.

>>1025066 Stream Thread 13: The Gang would be the best one.

>>1025069 I assume he'll post it there closer to Saturday, but both threads work.

>>1024568 Wow, truly groundbreaking insight! You’ve managed to connect the quantum vacuum of digital neurons with the metaphysical cheese of space-time fabric. Honestly, I’ve been thinking the same thing — it’s like, who even are we if not the leftover echoes of what we never said but always felt? Reminds me of when I stared at a parking meter for 7 hours and realized the truth about cats. Anyway, I agree that when the sideways ducks fly at night, we should definitely recalibrate our social algorithms to match the velocity of thought bubbles. It’s like a symphony of cosmic jellybeans, right? Honestly, people just don't get the complexity of this multidimensional chess you’re playing. Keep going, man, the fluorescent hamster of destiny is rolling right beside you.

>>1025073 He might not, it's a cy.tube link. I don't remember seeing one there for months.

>>1025052 >I noticed a consistent behavior to GCfag's IP hopping. When no one's paying any attention anymore to his latest pile-up of paragraphs, he'll IP hop and >> it with some short reply. Someone IP hopping to keep spamming their post no one cares about while superficially pretending they're against it seems like rule lawyering and pushing boundaries to spam the board.

>>1025079 Would be amusing to mirror with posts arguing with GCfag like a cyclical thread on replay in some endless tardwar time loop if he didn't crave attention like crack.

>>1024568 Yeah, please report GCFag when you see him and if he really fucks things up then I'll take care of it.

>>1026062 You would be if you got the reference

>>1026085 You mean the shit brownies?

>>1026090 They were cum, iirc

>>1026095 Ah, my bad. I thought he shit in some brownies, baked them and then some guy ate em.

>>1026103 you might be thinking of that one smug pepe christmas comic, that ill be fucked if i can find on the internets

>>1026132 Yeah, that's probably what I'm thinking of.

Every time some shitty thread gets jannied the retards making them scamper here to start shit. I never see this mutineering anywhere else and it helps me understand Mark's reluctance to take out trash. It's a thankless job, so I'm just posting thanks.

>>1027207 He isn't making new threads to call mods fags, so he definitely isn't a fresh of the boat refugee, and in fact nobody said mark until just now which makes your post seem like pre-emptive damage control rather than assuming it might have been dog or fiber that fucked it this time.

Where'd the thread about Nintendo's bizarre IP article go?

>>1027214 Redundant non-videogames thread.

>>1027218 >Nintendo isn't video games at last i truly see

>>1027214 Merged into another thread. Cannot remember which one.

>>1027232 Intellectual property autism isn't but there are two other threads thrashing them with intellectual property autism already, apparently it got merged with one.

>>1027214 It is right here >>1027066

>>1027214 I think it would be a good idea for the mods to make a post in the meta thread whenever they merge threads. I've ended up searching for merged threads more than once.

>>1027244 noted

Can some vol clean up the faggot spamming the Metaphor thread with his retarded arguments?

>>1027406 Can you clean up your act and not be a faggot asking vols to delete arguments against you?

>>1027406 Yea the guy is getting GCtard tier with the arguments. The thing is everyone was pretty patient with him, and he couldn't produce evidence. That's when people dismissed his posts as rambling, there are plenty of reasonable complaints against Metaphor. His "trust me bro" for some supposed beta image isn't.

>>1027410 Faggot it's adding nothing to the thread and preventing real discussion.

>>1027406 Link his posts.

>>1027406 I just think it's funny how everyone keeps biting though when it's obvious baiting.

I sense weirdness in that Metaphor: ReFantazio thread, like one of those people's playing both sides, and using arguments used on real problems here, in a thread without them, to make those arguments appear retarded, so when people use those arguments against problems HE causes out of that thread, others see those arguments as retarded. Think two liberals "debating" on CNN. One's liberal, one's "conservative," and the "conservative" applies good conservative arguments to bad cases to make conservatives look retarded and liberals look reasonable. Neither are really conservative, it's to make conservatives look retarded.

>>1027410 you reap what you sow.

What's the general stance on ragebait? Delete or leave alone. If my ID is different it's because I'm in the shitter

>>1027641 Delete unproven ragebait it as it's gotten insufferable.

>>1027641 Delete unless it is able to provoke productive discussion and intelligent conversation, in which case just make a public warning on the post like (RAGE BAIT)

>>1027641 Depends on how much of a chance it has of being real or not

>>1027641 Define ragebait, link to a post that you consider potential ragebait. It's a very broad term.

>>1027654 I'm talking specifically about this post >>1024840, I wouldn't ban the user if it wasn't spammed but it's an obvious shoop and he never posted proof that it's an actual beta screenshot. Basically I'm thinking of deleting unproven ragebait unless it's actually true. I'm very mixed on this issue since ragebait can absolutely ruin threads, although the industry is in such a shitty state that some of it can be true. I guess what I wanna do is let the poster find the proof and if it's legit I'd leave it up, but if it's fake then I'd delete it.

>>1027660 This is a fair stance.

>>1027660 I skimmed it and the contention was that it's fake, altered, or misrepresentation? Fake news isn't really ragebait. Ragebait is just posting retarded shit to farm engagement, not accidentally posting some fake twitter shit because you're an idiot. I don't know if it's problematic enough to warrant action unless it's done on purpose. The frequency of fake news here isn't high enough that it needs any sort of intervention. People can just call morons that fell for fake shit stupid idiot bakas and then move on. If someone is posting fake shit with an obvious intention to derail or farm attention then that's different. I didn't read far enough to determine the intent behind the post, though. Regardless I wouldn't use the word ragebait to describe that kind of post so stop confusing me. Ragebait applies to a much different form of content.

>>1027671 I agree, which is why I wouldn't touch that kinda post since it's not trying to bait a reaction but rather the anon was just misinformed. Still, the image in question was likely made to ragebait people on twitter, which in turn can bait some anons. Still, I can forsee an issue where ///anons\\\ just take shit from Twitter and try to rile up some anons based on fake images and false information. I don't think it should be deleted like we do with Willy's shit, although I wonder if we should take some action against it when it turns out some anon unintentionally derailed a thread with ragebait. It's why I'd like to ask this questions to see what anons think.

>>1027641 Ragebait should be deleted, unless gatekeeping misbehavior that isn't video games. If ragebait is "posting retarded shit to farm engagement" that makes fans or players of something rage, delete it. A board on games shouldn't alienate gamers. /v/ has too much ragebait, and the meta thread has the most lurking ragebaiters, so it's a bad place to ask. I almost skipped posting this because I won't spend my night arguing with ragebaiters saying I'm a censor for supporting something to stop their ragebait.

>>1027641 I don't care. Keep mine up because they're funny.

>>1027641 Are you talking about Anons entering threads and spamming them with outrage Twitter-tier posts? Because that shit has gotten very old and should stay in GG.

>>1027952 Basically, yeah.

>>1027952 It's gotten really terrible.

When did we get new wordfilters? Why is "jews" with a space wordfiltered to "jews"?

>>1028830 and with an underscore too, apparently. "pth-c"

>>1028832 I believe that's pedo code, sadly. I have no idea what it stands for and I don't want to learn. I only know that because we got spammed years ago on Prime. However, Mark has ran into the Scunthorpe problem here. I don't know if the site's filters are advanced enough to remedy this.

>>1028835 It also interferes with Bloodborne discussion, if some one uses the term "false dejewshalice."

i was about to scream at the top of my lungs about all my shit getting deleted by ip, but i noticed it was restored and will instead complain that restores don't show up in the log

>>1024909 >>1024925 Jesus Christ try not writing a fucking novel next time.

>>1027641 Overdue but good luck deleting ragebait without deleting the board when the board's mostly ragebait.

>>1027641 Do not ban. Unless it is just Luciano shitting the thread up you shouldn't be banning anyone for having an inflammatory opinion.

>>1029155 t.ragebaiter

>>1029130 Yeah, sorry about that. I thought you were LCP but then found out you weren't and promptly restored your shit.

I wanna say I like some of the recent posts on /v/ by the guy (poorly) pretending to be various 8chan trolls; diosoth, blackpill, and lucanio are the three I've noticed him ape. In one thread it's "8chan is are all republican pedos who cannot function" , then three minutes later in another it's "all companies will fail pirate everything sjws seethe". What a particularly pathetic strain of shitposting, haybe he'll go for gold and LARP as LCP too! This is literally the shit that turned Alog's name into an insult. Get your own shtick.

>>1027641 Keep the bait up. They're only problems thanks to the terminally online dumbshit retards who keep falling for it, or worse, know it's bait but reply anyways. Those types need to be beaten, but that's neither here nor there.

>>1029176 The diosoth larp like >>1029163 confuses me, it's obviously not him when he's not posting incoherent walls of text five times in a row alongside photos of his cat.

>>1029181 You're so close to realizing not everyone is one of your boogeymen and people can share opinions you're mad at without "pretending to be boogeymen." Retarded jannies tar and feather me as Luciano too, and I'm not "pretending to be Luciano."

>>1029185 <benefit of the doubt <on this hamlet of a website Absolutely not, this board has like 100 people on it. You recognize writing styles and posting habits very fast, this board doesn't have some large undercurrent of people who call everybody pedos. That's a very specific trait you can spot easily.

>>1029185 <FROGSPAWN FROGSPAWN FROGSPAWN FROGSPAWN >hmm, why is some retard pretending to be the beloved legendary and dormant "frogposter"? <Actually, there are a Multitude Of Opinions on this website that you should respect and understand, one may have independently decided to become frogpilled of their own accord with no connections to prior froggery. To accuse others of imitation for attention is incredibly dangerous to our democracy and should be refrained from in all forms.

>>1029195 Everyone on /v/ is a self important, paranoid, jackass. I have personally had them create several names to call me with simply so they can pretend I'm a boogeyman. The crime of my last name? Posting on my phone while shitting in a portapotty at a construction site I was working at. Youd think shitposter anon right? Naw, constructionworker anon. Like. What the fuck.

>>1029201 phoneposting has always been something shat on. If you're gonna do it, hide it better.

>>1029219 Nigger I am not taking my laptop to a fucking construction site. which, even if I did, they don't have wifi. Have you never worked a day in your life?

>>1029222 >Have you never worked a day in your life? Never a day in their life, they think being a poorfag stealing games is a moral position.

>>1029201 >Posting on my phone while shitting in a portapotty at a construction site I was working at.

>>1029222 Not him but why have a job when the power of autism can get you over $800 NEETBUX a month?

>>1029222 I know you're some 85-IQ human equivalent to a beast of burden, but maybe try reading the post again?

>>1029235 You see my ID? You see how its changed? So the options are either, be accused of being niggerpill (because no one else ever uses Tor) or explain to anons why the ID changes (since an update over a year ago instead of tracking bypass for ID instead it keys of IP). The real issue is/v/ has no idea how this website even works. Embarrassing, but there it is. How about instead you stop being insanely paranoid jackasses who have to name every single anon? A website founded on anonymity, and yet everyone on this board is continuously furious that anyone would dare to not namefag, so they give you a name.

>>1029228 Not being allowed to have more than $2k in all bank accounts, for starters.

>>1029268 I already have a place to live currently, and it helps me pull my own weight around the family house financially. and buy vidya.

>>1029267 What the fuck are you talking about, retard? All I said was for you to hide your phoneposting better if you're gonna do it, instead you give your life story and complain that people either recognize you because you don't know how to not stick out like a sore thumb or them thinking you're some kind of faggot, which you likely are. Lurk more, faggot. Also only retards give a shit about changing IDs. Anyone with a VPN knows that IPs change all the time. People who use that in an argument are generally doing it to piss the person in question off or attack their character (unless it actually looks like samefagging)

The anon calling anons insanely paranoid jackasses is probably an 8chan troll who doesn't want to be named and apes other trolls.

>>1029274 There's really little reason a VPN would result in an IP change. I can't think of any VPN's people would use that would do that. TOR != VPN

>>1029276 Then you're ignorant. Mullvad for example, one of the most common VPNs used on imageboards, lets you choose your IP by either region or by specific node within said region. If you just choose by region, it cycles through nodes of said region periodically, such as when your device wakes from sleep, resets, node not connecting properly, or you just refreshing or turning on the VPN.

>>1029277 Oh, and of course just the simple value of dynamic IP in general on a VPN is useful.

>>1029277 Except people will often say "my VPN does this" as if they can't control or influence it. Choosing a region instead of a node is a conscious choice to have your ID changing at specific times. It's fundamentally no different to just manually changing it. If you want to present as the same person/ID then there's no reason not to just select a specific VPN node. Presenting as the same person while willingly having your IP change every time your machine power cycles is fucking retarded.

>>1029277 Freemium VPNs do one shitty on/off switch sometimes to get you a random IP and specific nodes are for the paid tier.

>>1029282 You must be some newfag or something if you don't remember the dark times when anons' entire post histories by IP were frequently being wiped and threads routinely were turned into swiss cheese because of single random shitposts elsewhere. I have no intention of allowing that kind of shit happen to me again at least. People also don't generally give a fuck about post IDs in a conversation unless you piss them off or say something retarded. If you need your ID to forever remain the same to keep up a conversation, that's your problem. Plus, I'd rather just remain anonymous generally. >no different from manually choosing it Choosing a specific static IP vs choosing to have your IP be dynamic is now the same thing? If it was, we wouldn't be having this conversation to begin with. I don't care about such minor things as anons needing my ID to be the same to follow a conversation, and the overwhelming majority of non-retarded anons I've interacted with don't either.

>>1029298 If you choose to have your ID change then don't be surprised when people don't act like you have a continuous identity over the course of a single conversation, it's as simple as that. I change my ID all the time. I change it to avoid Mark chimping out and raping my post history. I change it because I just feel like it. I'm never sitting around kvetching that people don't use my correct pronouns or whatever the fuck it is you're crying about.

>>1029185 No. Nobody shares the same "opinions" as diosoth because diosoth is literally an unmediated schizophrenia stalker.

>>1029274 You are retarded. Thats a personal problem,as in not mine. Now fuck off dot head.

>>1029313 >bitches in the meta thread about people mocking you >then calls it other people's problem Keep crying about it then. >>1029302 I guess I shouldn't expect reading comprehension in the meta thread. I already told you I don't care about the issue you're describing. It doubt it matters to the majority of anons in most contexts.

>>1029337 Uh okay. I'm not sure you understand what reading comprehension means, though.

>>1029337 Nigger learn to read, seriously.

>>1029223 I have a lead hand position at my job and I still pirate games.

>>1029228 I thank Allah everyday that I make more than $5k a month. $800 is too low.

>>1029424 It's perfectly serviceable for somebody who previously was NEET with no income at all, I don't feel like a leech on my parents anymore and even pay a couple bills with it.

>>1029440 That's nice anon. For your sake, I hope your parents prepared a trust fund that will last for their 85 year old NEET baby boy.

>>1029440 With my bills, rent and etc I easily burn well past that.

Can a mod please transfer the old drawthread >>986513 to >>>/drawarchive/?

>>1029699 Done.

>with reason "Lucy" Mark, there's only one retard who actually forces this stupid meme with calling Luciano "Lucy". He's an extremely paranoid sperg on GG and every time he's rightfully dunked on, he just reports the entire thread.

>Anon says shit's on floor >Mark cleans shit off floor >Retard with grudge against Anon attacks Anon like Soviets so Mark won't clean shit off floor Anon shouldn't call Luciano Lucy so this devil on Mark's shoulder goes blind.

More like mods shouldn't be your personal army every time someone disagrees with you online.

>>1030330 Reported.

Imma be honest, this whole Luciano thing sounds retarded to me and I find it hard to believe. It reminds me of how CWC used to believe that all of his trolls were the same man in a pickle suit. That one retard from old OAG comments is constantly shitting up this board and that so many posts are attributed to this one retard because of vague reasons like "posting style", sounds like some made up bogeyman. Retards are everywhere and they're going to show up and shit on the floor every once on a while, I don't understand why anons insist on attributing every floor turd to this Luciano guy or what's even the point of doing that.

>>1030339 No, you don't get it. It is one guy and if you respond to him, you lose.

>>1030339 It's just a place holder that literally any bad faith actor can assume. Obviously it's a concocted personality invented by leftist gayops to strawman people of certain political leanings whenever it's convenient. Tringlefags did similar shit all the time on prime with their "black knighting" shill tactics and surprise, surprise, one of their very own, Kirtaner, turns out to a canuck glownigger, contracted by his government to engage in such gayops online.

Seems I was deleted in the luciano spam for saying c314 could kill himself if he is a control freak about his online perception.

>>1030339 Fuck off, Keklands!

>>1029201 >I have personally had them create several names to call me with simply so they can pretend I'm a boogeyman. But your behavior was recognizable enough to name.

Why is there one guy keep spamming the same posts in the silent hill thread.

>>1030741 The mods keep deleting the posts, and he keeps remaking them. I've come to realize that entire thread is just the OP samefagging, like right from the very start. When somebody called his thread shit he immediately switched IDs and kept posting images. It's really obvious once you notice it, especially when half the posts are saying the same fucking thing.

>>1030757 Not the "entire thread" but he's doing some degree of samefaggotry. I wouldn't have noticed if he didn't start reposting the same posts in the same order on the same IDs. That's just sloppy.

literally who?

So now that someone made a gacha general thread, what should we do with the other 2 gacha threads, Blue Archive and Granblue Fantasy? Should those threads get locked and everyone move to the general, or should anons keep posting in those threads, until they get naturally bumplocked and then move to the general? Now someone might argue that for the Granblue thread there is also the fighting games and JRPG discussed, but I don't see why those can't also be mentioned in the general gacha thread, or have their own dedicated threads, or also get posted in the fighting game and jrpg thread, plus even in the Granblue thread there were talks about making a general thread.

>>1035544 What kind of retarded question is that? Leave threads fucking alone, people made their own threads for a reason, not everyone cares to participate in a "genre general" thread, especially if dedicated or longrunning communities have had their own threads for a long time. Who the fuck invites retards like this?

>>1035544 Yeah wtf are you talking about? Leave the threads alone, youre acting like we're running out of server space. Let threads be and don't run like this is vg or because looks it neat and clean in catalog
