It's happening
If there was a vote, I'd vote that it should be a NSFW board for maximum questing freedom.
Looks like a fun idea either way.
Literally only for the bitching minority.
I guess it's nice to know that you can get things removed if you cry long enough.
anti-wrestlers and /cel/ fags are going to have to wait about 8 years though, to keep things fair so all that crying doesn't go to waste.

What the fuck are you even doing, Hiro?
>>511040
Don't worry anon, all 5 of the quest threads currently on the board will eventually fall off. And then you can have as much succubus assfat as 5 thread slots will buy you.
It is actively being moderated. Great; something else to distract the mods from the boards which actually need moderation. Well done.
>>511058
That thread is right. Quest threads take up a big chunk of /tg/ and many are sick of them. Now you'll have a dedicated place for CYOA's
>>511061
The board shouldn't have been made, not when other boards are in a far worse state than fucking /tg/.
>>511064
How would you know?
>>511064

>>511061
10 out of 150 is not a big chunk. It's not "half the board" as some people would tell you.
When the announcement went up, there were literally 5 quest threads on /tg/. There are more of them on /mlp/ than /tg/.

This.
>>511053
>1/3 of /tg/ clutter is gone
Ftfy
>>511125
When did /tg/ get cut down to 15 threads? Why are there still ten pages? Is it 1 and a half threads per page? That's very strange.
Moderation is out of control.
>>511069

They've been deleting and banning smug assholes like this all night, so it's more likely that it'll go back to how it was if the board fails.

>Barely enough threads for 4 pages.
Even if we assume the janitors have been deleting shitposting galore for the last 6 hours, I doubt there is enough material for 11 pages. Even /film/ on a couple hours had much more activity.
/Qst/ looks to have a great start. If this keeps going on, they will rival /po/ for the slowest board ever.

Board dedicated to forum games when?
>>511444
Nothing, because the general consensus is to literally ignore it and keep posting quests on /tg/.
>>511451
Speak for yourself.
>>511457
I'm speaking for a variety of posts (And some twitter feeds of long-running QMs) that have said they're going to ignore it and continue to post where they always have.
>>511460
And what about everyone else who want to do this stuff outside of /tg/?
>>511460
Gee, then they're in for a shocking surprise when their threads start getting deleted or moved, huh? You can't just ignore the rules, it doesn't work like that. They're allowed to do it on /tg/ for now because /qst/ isn't listed, but they'd better get ready for this.
Seems really dumb to me too, because /qst/ has all these features that enhance the quests significantly.
>>511581
Risk, Civilization threads, ~Hungry Games but that's offsite so idk. And new ones. the board has the ability to draw, could be anything.
>>511592
but anon hunger games threads are the only thing from keeping /trash/ from literally becoming a porn board

Bunch of fags who have never browsed /tg/ for more than 5 minutes on a weekday detected.
On weekends especially and sometimes weekday nights there are anywhere from 10 to 50 quest threads at one time. This has been the case since the mods decided to allow them to be there.
This was necessary. The only people who don't think it necessary are people who don't browse /tg/ or questfags themselves.
>>511748
>Muh weekends!
>Stupid hyperboles fag detected.
We have went through this every other thread. The short is: no, quest threads are not the majority of the site at any given point, not even including weekends. Even including CYOA, risk and hunger games and random shit, the quest threads are not even the 20% of the total threads on /tg/. And is damn easy to figure it out: go to archive, ctrl + f "quest" and begin to count and discount threads with words like question or request and threads like "what's your character quest in life?" or "how do I made the quest giver interesting rather than merely NPC bot?".
Seriously, go ahead right now and do it. The last time this was brought, /tg/ had like 1300 threads on the archive, and only like 150 were legitimate "waifu quest". 10 to 50 threads? Almost the 30% of the board?
>Pic related
Keep deluding yourself.
>>511748
>>511770
I know you're too coward to do it yourself, so I went ahead and did it for you.
>Only 167 results out of 1300 threads for "Quest"
And the pic shows how a single thread have the word quest twice, and we're not discounting legitimate threads like "Requesting character art pics", so the real number is much, much lower than that.
Seriously, how can someone be so stupid?
>>511777
Yeah. /qst/ was created specifically to increase the presence of quests on 4chan and make it easier for questrunners to do their thing. The only people who are mad about this are people who used quests as an excuse to bully.
>>511770
>go do it right now
>it's early morning on a weekday
Exactly what I said. You have never browsed /tg/ for more than 5 minutes on a weekday or you are a questfag.
>>511777
Prove me wrong then and go find out how many were posted on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in that last 7 day period. Unless you have concrete proof besides a single control+f of a single page then your word is as good as mine.

slow boards =/= bad boards
/tv/ has 10x the traffic as /d/ anyway
>>511848
Slow board =/= good board
>>511851
Actually the exact opposite is true. Slow boards are good boards more often than not, while the opposite is true of fast boards.
It isn't like a slow board is going to take a bunch of bandwidth anyway, so there is no point in getting rid of one.
>>511856
No, it isn't true. It being slow doesn't mean its going to be good. Idiots should stop spouting this stupid shit. A slower board just means it has a BETTER CHANCE of being good, but it doesn't mean it will be. Also, fast boards easily can be just as good. The thing is, they need to actually be fucking moderated by people who actually care.
There isn't any point of getting rid of them, but there is no reason to add a bunch of them as well for no reason.
>>511786
Why are the goalposts moving?
>>511863
>The thing is, they need to actually be fucking moderated by people who actually care.
Slow boards allow the mods to see more shitposts and ban them.
Fast boards will often autosage before a mod or janitor even sees the thread.
>>511863
>but there is no reason to add a bunch of them as well for no reason
You're the only one who keeps insisting there is "no reason" to add new boards. In reality there are at least 4 or 5 good reasons that mods have already acknowledged which is why Hiro is making new boards.
I know it's hard to adjust to change but when you go off spouting nonsense about how there is no reason for new boards then you just end up looking like a jackass when new boards get created.
Oh man I can't wait for all of the ORIGINAL CONTENT from forum games!

Wow such content, it's a mystery why there isn't a board for it
>>511869
You are talking about /b/ /v/ fast there, mate and that isn't true either. Because, again, it requires moderators who fucking care. It also means users using the god damn report button. It doesn't matter what your opinion on it was, but, /a/ used to have both and for a fast board it was actually pretty good. Even moot stated it was good for a fast board. Why? Because the mod cared and people actually used the fucking report button.

Sorry, but it just isn't going to work.
>>511882
Yeah because people on /tg/ really voted no with a 5 to 1 margin. How can you even post that while being serious?
>>511887
What evidence do you have to the contrary other than your assertions?
>>511887
Why is it so hard to believe? The majority of the people in the /qst/ sticky on /tg/ were against the creation of /qst/
>>511893
I'm not going to pretend like any evidence is available for either side. In fact I'm really looking forward to seeing the future /qa/ threads where faggots whine and scream about having quest threads moved from /tg/ to /qst/. It's going to be glorious.
>>511901

HIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Quests were, and have been, largely the same groups of people generating similar content. Much like generals, except often with double or triple digit sup/tg/ binges as a barrier to entry.
There were usually only 5-20 on the board at any given time, true, but as a thread format that promotes user engagement, they usually sat at 100+ posts on the first 2 pages, all from a dozen posters. This isn't a problem if you use the catalog and filter, but the front page is a hive of activity from people who don't or prefer not to.
The only advantage I can see to having quests on /tg/ is drawing in new users from the general /tg/ populace who stumble by. Moving them to a separate board makes for a small barrier to entry, but allows easier access for users interested in such content. Moreover, it might signal a resurgence in quests with a bit of effort put in - puzzles, art, whatnot - as they aren't shuffled off the board by generals and miscellaneous /tg/ flamewars.
The shitpost quests will die down in a week or two when people stop biting that bait, and you can all go back to Overpowered Anime Lesbian Quest #312 - Harem Edition then.
>>511897
But it wasn't a representative sample!
>>511887
If you cared to look at any discussion about the matter in the past year or so it would line up with opinions.
That's not counting the hugbox threads that the anti-questers sometimes made and got promptly deleted. I'm talking about real discussions that cropped up in random threads and therefore had the advantage of involving all sorts of /tg/-goers, not just the ones who'd go into a whine babby thread.
>>511932
>If you cared to look at any discussion about the matter in the past year or so it would line up with opinions.
lmoa
what discussions? mods have been banning ANYTHING anti quest for last 8 years. pro quest is still allowed.
People who didn't like quests literally were not allowed to speak.
>>511932
I have seen a few requests for it on /qa/ enough to know there is a desire for a quest board. I'm glad that is enough for Hiro. As I was saying before, the worst that could happen is a slow board that doesn't take much bandwidth gets created. Big deal.
The situation to me is analogous to when /news/ got created and people were needlessly afraid /pol/ would be somehow die from the traffic that would have supposedly left.
In reality most of /pol/ didn't care and /news/ is as slow as /out/.
>>511935
We had them all the time. That's why I said to not look at meta threads, but the discussions as they naturally appeared.
I'm just saying, a 20:100 ratio of people for and against making a quest board seems like a very reasonable result. I'm just surprised only 120 people or so responded to that strawpoll. It is another good indication that it wasn't rigged though, since those usually get many hundreds of responses more than there are people in the thread they are posted in, not less.
>>511938
>We had them all the time. That's why I said to not look at meta threads, but the discussions as they naturally appeared.
I can't even count the amount of times I have been banned for posting anti-quest sentiments in non-meta threads where other people were discussing quests.
>>511937
There isn't any desire for a quest board. Some people desire to kick out quests for no reason other than spite.
Calling it desire for a quest board would imply that the people who are supposed to use it desire it.
>The situation to me is analogous to when /news/ got created and people were needlessly afraid /pol/ would be somehow die from the traffic that would have supposedly left.
This would only be analogous if quests are still allowed on /tg/ even after /qst/ is instated as a real board. If that happens then nobody will care and quests won't be negatively impacted.
>>511939
I've talked about it probably fifty times at least over the past year or two, and never got banned. In fact, I think even the discussion getting its posts deleted didn't happen most of the time. Maybe you were doing something else wrong that made mods pay attention to you more?
>>511940
>There isn't any desire for a quest board. Some people desire to kick out quests for no reason other than spite.
The people on /qst/ seem to contradict this.
>>511941
The people on /qst/ are either all complaining that they don't want quests split and inevitably dead in a few months, there to gloat that the quests are leaving /tg/ and dying, or people making /b/ tier joke quests and drawing penises in the integrated drawing application.
>>511941
Most well established QMs are against it, with some saying (and I believe them) that they aren't going to ever run quests again if this happens.
These are people who have been running quests for years and created some very compelling stories.
Quests were living off /tg/'s wage and now they won't leave because they can't be on their own. But wait, weren't they oh so self-sustaining and non-intrusive to the board the last time you spoke? At least, some people do admit the former (and take their pride in it for some reason, but that's a different issue).
I think I'll actually use this board.
>>511952
You're acting like they're an outside phenomenon. Quests were created by /tg/. Pretty much everyone into quests was into /tg/ first, unless they came from one of the rarer quests on other boards.
>>511955
>Quests were created by /tg/.
And now they're grown and let out into a big world. Also, there still exists interactive media like that on Homestuck forums and Prequel. Don't act like they are inside phenomenon either, then.
Actually hey, could we have an option for lewd threads or just turn the board red?
I wanna have some lewdness in my quests.
>>511960
They can't survive on their own. It's inherent to the medium. It's like saying all risk threads should be moved to /qst/, when that can never happen either. Both risk threads and quests only exist because they are created in a bigger community of people who didn't know they'd be interested in them but do it anyway to kill the time.
>>511963
>They can't survive on their own. It's inherent to the medium.
Explain two examples I listed above.
>>511977
Which ones?
>>511961
This is where a NSFW tag instead of just a spoiler tag would be good, because the board SHOULD by and large by blue, but I can see why people might want to get lewd. Let's see if the mods will accept using spoilers for NSFW images.
>>511981
>Homestuck forum play by post adventures
>Prequel
>>511995
I don't know what those are, but if they aren't on imageboards then they aren't really quests. At any rate I sincerely doubt something with homestuck in its name doesn't have a large fanbase to draw on already.
>>511955
no that's wrong. Quests actually were first on /jp/. They were all over the site and were all shoved to /tg/ in 2012
>>511998
Aha!
>>511961
Porn ruins all boards
>>512003
Well one of the first quests that I remember was back in 2008 on /tg/.
>>512009
Not quite, but they really aren't quests if they aren't on an imageboard. Their exposure circumstances are different, and those circumstances are the central issue here.
>>512013
then you just proved you don't know anything about the early 'quests' which didn't get their name until later
>>512016
Four years earlier than yours.
>>512018
what the fuck are you talking about?
I didn't say quests started in 2012, I said they were banned across the site and shoved onto /tg/ only in 2012
>>512019
Okay. An undetermined amount of years earlier than yours, since you're refusing to give any real info.
>>512015
Okay, what imageboards lack then? Exposure? Fans? Personal domain?
May it be that "inherent flaw" doesn't lie within quest format at all?
>>512024
The problem is that if you put quests into a vacuum they have no way of sustaining themselves. People have never went "Oh, I feel like a quest right now, let me find one..." and went to find a quest. It's an emergent phenomenon that happens because people see something interesting in a place they already are and then join in. If they're on their own the quests will never have any new blood joining in and will slowly bleed members until all that's left is the most cancerous type of inbred circlejerking possible. At which point they'll be dead and gone. I give it a few months.

"Ah, those ignorant fools, how DARE they know nothing about my GREAT quest!" is another extreme. How do you recruit people into fandom anyway? With a good fanart, or good quotes, or a good premise. Is there any law that strictly forbids usage of some good snippts outside of an inner circle?
And why, yes, one day I just went and found Rock Quest, because it interested me. If nobody wants to read some "My Tentacle Waifu" 80-parter, why should it be my problem and not the writer's?

None of those work if there is no exposure in the first place. Something can have the best premise possible, people still won't find it in a hole.
>Is there any law that strictly forbids usage of some good snippts outside of an inner circle?
Yes. They're called the rules. If quests aren't allowed anywhere other than /quest/, then you can't advertise them either. Not that advertisement of some sort is in any way reasonable in the first place, nobody has time to pretend he's a bot.
>>512106
>If quests aren't allowed anywhere other than /quest/, then you can't advertise them either.
You can buy a self-serve ad, only 20bux. :^)

Look here, I'm advertising Source engine facial sculpting! I'll totally get banned for this.
And all of these methods work with webcomics, so I don't see why they wouldn't work here (except - again - for the case of creative bancrupcy).

>>512872
For literally one hour there was a board called /film/. It wasn't supposed to be open to the public. It was supposed to be a password protected thing. They were seeing about constructing a board that had webms with sound and shit.
4chan did what 4chan does.
>>512872
For about two hours yesterday from 4am.
It's why I'm laughing at all these people who claim a trial board never, ever gets deleted.
>>512882
It wasn't ever intended to go live so early. The back end parts are still there. It could come back tomorrow without that much work on Hiro's part.
>>510979
is this a roleplaying board or something?
>>513025
your knowledge of quests is equal to that of the mod who created the board
>>510979
At fucking last. 8 years too late, but at fucking last nevertheless.
>>511003
/tv/ is shitty and slow (outside of /got/) enough already. You don't need another board.
So is /tg/ though so fuck
Well, I still haven't heard any explanation why the ENTIRETY OF 4CHAN users is somehow "worse" than entirety of /tg/ users. "/tg/ is the best board, we don't need others" is just a pitiful joke, you know.
>they don't know what quests are!
Sticky, enforcement, you'll be given all the tools.
>they won't have high standarts!
One man's high standart is another man's "tldr".
>we aren't even a community, we're different anons each time!
Wow, so exactly like any other board on-site.

Boards are meant to be community's.

It's because the entirety of 4chan isn't going to be browsing qst. Quests are a tiny fraction of /tg/, an already slow board.
If you were serious about making a quest, a good one, you would already be browsing /tg/. Therefore there is an overlap in playerbase. If you're on /v/, you probably won't be thinking about making a pen-and-paper RPG for people on imageboards.
If you're on /k/, you probably won't be thinking of making a pen and paper RPG for people on imageboards.
Boards are meant to be a community. Sometimes you like other people in the community, sometimes you don't. Asking that everyone be segregated from your safe space because that other person doesn't play the way that you do is what a child does when he can't get along on the playground.
You're not a child asking for another kid to be put in time-out, you're a grown person who can make his own decisions. Man-up and accept that other people don't like the same things you do.
>>513644
The entirety of 4chan is always worse than most board's users because the entirety of 4chan includes /b/ and /v/.
>>513669
>If you were on /v/...
>If you were on /k/...
They wouldn't be on /tg/ if they wanted to make a quest. They'd be on /k/ and /v/ where people share their interests and they can make a specialized quest. That's the problem inherent to 'This board is the board for all quests!'
At first I thought taht this quest-concept sucks, but then I realized that it could be awesome if it was NSFW. Porn quests would be great.
>>513978
No NSFW, text included, on /qst/. /d/ used to have quests but they were purged years ago. The lewder /tg/ quests were also purged a while back.
>>513986
That's a shame.
Hiro, it's time to create a new board:
>/aqst/ - Adult Quests
>>512330
>>513978
Perhaps someone with imagination could retry on /trash/?
>>513986
>No NSFW, text included
Where did they say that? I don't see any problem with lewd text in a quest, given warning. In fact, I was fantasizing about running a lewd quest last night, it helped me get to sleep.
I wish Hiro/Mod/whoever would finally fix the auto update option
>>510979
Someone linked this thread on the feedback thread. Quests players and QMs alike have expressed their distaste for the move, only a couple QMs are lukewarm on it and other have outright bailed.
Personally, I don't believe crying in some corner of 4chan should have so much influence on the fate of other boards.
>>513644
They want to be on /tg/ because they think that the few people that haven't filtered them might accidentally click on their quest and post in it.
That's genuinely their excuse.
>>514301
Yes, you and your imaginary friends
>>514301
>the few people who haven't filtered them
I see this claim that almost all of /tg/ has filtered them away and have to wonder why they're such a "problem" if nobody else sees them anyway and they only take up a tiny part of the board.
"I hate thing" generally doesn't mesh well with "everyone else also hates thing" when very few of everyone else posts in agreement.
>>514301
Well, since it was how I first started reading quests, and how the majority of the new players that have ever said anything about it in my own quests got into it, yes.
I'm glad for this.
>>511003
Wow I had no idea there was a /film/.
I'm really enjoying /qst/.
All you salty /tg/fags can fuck off.
>>514042
The feedback thread. We are allowed to 'fade to black'.
>>511003
Holy shit you weren't kidding nigger
>>515851
I was there. It's real.
>>511984
Sounds reasonable.
The thing is there plenty of boards on 4chan already. And so many porn threads on NSWF boards. If some situation in a quest ends up inspiring an anon to write up a lewd tale about it, or draw sexy pics about it, there are places where that can take off and develop into something else, even on 4chan. I'd just hate to see porn be the majority of the /qst/ board. I think it being SFW means more diverse and creative threads all around.
Just my opinion though. Oh, and just fyi, I am a fan of porn. I'd just prefer to seek it out where it makes sense to find it. make sense?
any more thoughts, you guys that want to do lewd quests?
Would it be possible to somehow make /qst/ "PG-13"? Like, erotic but not pornographic?
>>511052
This!
>>512872
It was called /film/ but it really ought have been called /bbc/.
>>511961
Turning the board red would be a disaster. Believe me I enjoy lewd CYOA's too but allowing them would be opening the floodgates. Best option would be no NSFW in the rules but having a lax moderation team
>>511003
>>Delete /film/
What in the fuck
did some site archive this?
>>517894
nvm, FOUND IT
https://archive.4plebs.org/film/
when will the mods actually start moving quests off /tg/?
>>511058
Look at how many boards 2chan has, which Hiro founded.
This is why.
Very different policies.
>>511748
Not only that but quests stay alive for days at a time and hang in the front of the catalog. When you make a new thread it immediately falls to the middle of the board, and unless you catch somebody's eye quick you're going to fall off.
Quests stifle the ability for new threads to be created.
