Because /qst/ is a fucking cancerous pile of poorly thought of failure and AIDS by a fucking retard of a mod who admittedly hasn't paid ANY ATTENTION to /tg/ or quests since 2010.

And that fucking mouth-breathing fucktard went and did it with no notice, no archive, and in such a fucktarded way that there will be no way to draw new readers or have players enjoy their quests.

And then he completely ignores ANY criticism, concerns, and only fields like 3 softball questions and fucks off.

It's right up there with taking gun politics off of /k/ and splitting /d/ in terms of stupid fucking mod decisions.
>>
>>512146


OH, and on top of that, this is when quests, daily, take up 4-13 threads out 150 at any one time barring odd shit.

This isn't the bad old days of ELF SLAV WAT DO and 40-50/100 threads on /tg/ being shitty quests.

And nazimod banning all the actual good OC generators instead of the shitty quests and spammers.
>>
>>512153

Quest threads were forced onto /tg/ by an autistic mod. We have been begging to get rid of you for 8 years. Now you're gone.

Quests do not belong on /tg/. We never wanted you.
>>
>>512146
How exactly will there be no way to draw in new readers? Are you trying to say that people on /tg/ would just "pass by" and decide to get interested in quests? Because you're full of shit. If people want quests, they seek out quests.
>>
>>512161
>This lie again
Quest threads started on /tg/ in 2008.
There was literally one instance of them being moved from other boards, and that's after /a/ complained about the two or three they had gained in 2012. Then the mods forgot about it and it never happened again.
>>
>>512168
I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or a legit retarded opinion. I've been hearing so much of the latter lately.
>>
>>512069
Quests don't work in a vacuum. They generally get new players from being on a board with a similar topic and people becoming interested. People don't seek out quests when they don't know what a quest is. So as the board slowly loses people from general loss of interest and other such normal things it won't gain new users. It's just a slow death.

Generally the response to this when someone disagrees is 'nuh uh' without any reasoning behind it.

If they can only survive through parasitism they don't deserve to exist at all.

If people are interested in them they'll go to where the Quests are.

How?

They won't see them unless they decide to go to the quarantine zone.

Noones going to just stroll about looking for it, the reason they work as just 4-10% of /tg/ is because it occasionally draws in fa/tg/uys interested in the concept.


>>512161

No they weren't you fucking moron.

There was quests in fucking 2006, 07 and 08.

And they were good ones. At least until nazimod showed up and banned the good QMs, along with all the drawfags and other OC creators.

>>512209
People don't know what quests are. Thus they won't seek out a board about quests. Advertising something they don't know about and have no interest in doesn't solve the issue at all.

That's how boards get users you know? People are interested in a subject, so they go to the board for that subject. You can't have a pre-formed interest if you don't know that interest exists.

>>512217
Before the source of new /tg/ users were people who were interested in traditional games, and the new quest users were a subsection of that group who were intrigued by the idea of quests

Now the source of new /qst/ users will be all users who are intrigued by the idea of quests
>>
>>512220
Nice prophesy, let's change 4chan because of it
>>
>>512223
Most of the source were people who stumbled on it while looking for something else on the board.
People don't stumble onto entirely different boards. It doesn't happen.
>>
>>512223
>Before the source of new /tg/ users were people who were interested in traditional games
Indeed. A pre-existing interest.

>Now the source of new /qst/ users will be all users who are intrigued by the idea of quests
So they're intrigued by an idea they don't know exists. How very quirky of them.
>>
>>512229
>>512231
4chan didn't invent forum games if people like them they will go there
>>
>>512240
4chan certainly did invent the quest format. Amusingly though, even generic forum games don't survive in a vacuum, further proving my point.
>>
>>512217
>People don't know what quests are. Thus they won't seek out a board about quests. Advertising something they don't know about and have no interest in doesn't solve the issue at all.

By that logic, people don't know what anime is so they'll never use a board about anime. Oh wait. It's like people are actually capable of researching things they don't know about.
>>
>>512242
forum games are often a unique board on forums
>>
>>512243
Anime is a medium that exists outside of 4chan.
There are a handful of sites outside of 4chan that do quests, and all of them were actually spawned from people who used to quest here. The only one that is actually successful (Kind of) is anonkun, which is full of extremely smutty, furry, fanfiction quests.
There isn't any kind of "quest" media outside of this little sphere of internet space. It's not something that can be compared to anime or videogames, because those things exist outside of 4chan and the sites that broke off from 4chan.
>>
>>512246
So what you're saying is if the board is renamed to Forum Games, your problem will be fixed.
>>
>>512245
Forums that are heavily integrated with each other and so get users the same way quests do. Congrats, you're continuing to prove my point.

>>512243
That's correct. If someone doesn't know about anime, they'll never use a board about anime. If someone finds out about anime though, I dunno, tv or some such nonsense, they might go to a board about anime.
>>
>>512249
And god forbid people CLICK ON THE NEW BOARD TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS.

BUT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN YOUR FANTASY WORLD!
>>
>>512252
That's correct. People rarely ever board hop at random. They go to what boards are geared towards their interests. Do you actively use every 4chan board, regardless of your interests?
>>
>>512248
Then there's an entirely different problem of other games squeezing quests out.
Quests are downright small and slow compared to Risk.

>>512252
>>/news/
>>/po/
>>/i/
ect
>>
>>512255
Risk also has the same problem where people don't go to boards for Risk, they get incidental users that notice a thread and become interested.
>>
>>512253
I look at new boards to determine if they are relevant to my interests. Why wouldn't people look at /qst/ to find out what it is and if it's something they'd enjoy? That's what I'd have done if I wasn't already aware of quests.
>>
>>512261
There's two problems there. I doubt everyone looks at the news and does that beyond an immediate dismissal. And two, that doesn't solve the on-going problem at all. No one said it'd be DOA, but that it'd die. Every new board will get a random collection of shitposters and people who are genuinely interested in the new board smell. That doesn't mean anything for the on-going health of the board.

Presuming you don't already go to one of these boards, how often do you go to /o/ just to hang out and breath in the culture to see if you like it there? /po/? /jp/? /toy/? etc etc. Something may, out of the blue, catch your interest after all.
>>
>>512261
/news/ is still on the news ticker (heh) and it's deader than a thing that's actually dead. It's double dead, if you will.
>>
>>512293
That's because the board subject is uninteresting to most people. It's a text board.
>>
>>512265
The only reason /qst/ doesn't have users is because the questfags stubbornly refuse to use it

They're no more likely to get new users on /tg/, where all the non-questfags filter them, than they are on their own board. Questfags are being a bunch of drama queens as usual.
>>
this whole "make an entire board for something that isn't even a topic/interest and belongs toguether with other topics" thing is fucking retarded
they already tried it with /news/ and it failed miserably, why did they do it again?
>>
>>512329
>They're no more likely to get new users on /tg/, where all the non-questfags filter them, than they are on their own board.
Entirely false. There's no reason at all to assume the majority of the board filters them, which ruins your assertion. Anti-questers, who are likely to filter them, have always been a small minority with less than 20-30 IPs in any given situation. In the /tg/ discussion sticky recently, it was 12.

>>512336
Given the custom stuff they added, it was likely some mod's pet project. And when a mod has a pet project he's usually given quite a bit of leeway.
>>
>>512327
And this doesn't apply to a niche interest (That consistently dies when it strikes off alone, see tgchan, cripplechan's quest board, ect) from a niche board because...?
>>
>>512342

>Quests are not traditional games. They don't belong on /tg/.
they might not 100% belong on /tg/ but they certainly belong there more than they do on their own board
as has been pointed out multiple times before, a decent amount of people who join quests do so because they're lurking their home board and see the thread, they probably won't keep an extra board open just for them.

>>512355
just because a bunch of obnoxious faggots keep yelling "PLEASE DO THING BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO" doesn't mean it's a good idea
see: this entire board
>>
I have about thirty players that I'm sure will follow me anywhere. But I'm extra upset that my archive is going to be split and maybe anyone who joined in just because it was the only active thread on a Tuesday afternoon.

I do NOT like /qst/ so far. Click that board and tell me if that looks like a place you would seriously want to go. 90% of the threads there are bullshit. Threads made by people not because they seriously want to write a quest, but because they want to make something stupid to fuck around in.

/tg/ was great because it had quality control. "YOU ARE A RETARD PALSY BABY THAT SHOULD KILL HIMSELF, HOW DO YOU KILL YOURSELF" is not a fucking quest, it's not CYOA and it's not even competent writefag material. It's just clutter.

That's what /qst/ seems like it's going to be, endless amounts of clutter that's never fixed because it's a place where quests are holed away so the passive-aggressive neurotic mod have to look at them.

>>
>>512359
This is exactly why there shouldn't be a quest board. People like this have made it into an us vs them fight, and if they "win", they're just going to keep being bitches about other things and shit things up even further. The entitlement and smugness from anti-questfags is tremendous and needs to be stomped out.

I wonder the fuck why? You dumb faggots have been spending every minute since the board launched refusing to use it. Of course it doesn't have any of the """"popular"""" quests on it. They're all being a bunch of babies because they can't sit at the same table anymore.

>/tg/ was great because it had quality control. "YOU ARE A RETARD PALSY BABY THAT SHOULD KILL HIMSELF, HOW DO YOU KILL YOURSELF" is not a fucking quest,

I don't understand how that affects your quest, but whatever. Maybe if you actually tried reporting things instead of whining about it the mods would clean something up?

Pastebins don't record player reactions and responses you tool. 50% of a quest are the players. If you don't have the players, then you don't have a quest.

You're asking people to strip out 50% of their story because your bitterness over nothing. Have quests ever stopped you from making a good thread? Of course not, so why do you think you'll suddenly be able to, now?

>I wonder the fuck why? You dumb faggots have been spending every minute since the board launched refusing to use it. Of course it doesn't have any of the """"popular"""" quests on it. They're all being a bunch of babies because they can't sit at the same table anymore.

Maybe no one wants to use it because it's clear no quality control or moderation is being done?

There are fucking quest threads starting now that people are spamming with gore, no one deletes them because it's clear that it's another /b/ (like yourself, probably) or /v/ raid.

Gosh! I wonder why no one wants to start a quest there and seriously try to get some writing done?

Your only real complaint about quests is that you do'nt like this thing and therefore it shouldn't be on /tg/. You'll be crawling back to /qa/ in a few months about another thing /tg/ has which you don't like, like warhammer or maybe shadowrun. And the cycle will start anew.

You don't fix communities by splitting them.

There is no silent majority that hates quests. They never, ever appear. Not even in metathreads that don't hit the "quest" filters that supposedly they all have. There are never more than a dozen unique IPs against quests, and most of the time there are less than 40 unique IPs total in metathreads. But someone always says that they represent most of the people on the board.
The reality is that most posters don't actually care either way because it doesn't interest them and doesn't give them hernias. If they did, they'd actually post about it once in a while. But they never, ever do. They don't post, they don't vote in strawpolls or archives, they don't care. You don't represent them, I don't represent them. They aren't involved in this conversation/argument in any way except as a silent majority fallacy.

Are you fucking dumb? There's already archives on suptg for /qst/. If you are afraid of people not finding them then use a pastebin.

You can apply this to most threads on /tg/, right now even.

Look at the THAT GUY threads and "TAKE PICTURES OF SHIT RPERS". As well as the "POST SHIT THAT BELONGS ON OTHER BOARDS".

Here's a picture of /tg/'s catalog, only the part of it I could fit on a single screen. Every red circle is a thread best suited to another board.

Face it, the one that ruined /tg/ is /tg/, and I doubt anyone will ever see the irony in it.

>Are you fucking dumb? There's already archives on suptg for /qst/. If you are afraid of people not finding them then use a pastebin.


Then the archive gets split, and then no one can find them.

Also

>It has archives!
This isn't even getting into the crux of the problem I talked about. People made quests on /tg/ because they liked playing on /tg/.

Again, have quests ever stopped you from making a good thread?

>No, it's because you refuse to leave /tg/.

Yes! I'm sure the moderators will immediately start cleaning up the board when people start using it!
Except, if they want people to start using it, they'll clean up the board.

Wow, you must have problems understanding basic logic.

>>512412
>/qst/ was never part of /tg/.

The first quests date back to /tg/'s inception. When /tg/ was created as a splitoff board for the warhammer fags. The first drawquests that pre-date ruby quest began on /b/ and then moved to /tg/.

Quests have been /tg/ longer than you've been on 4chan, maybe even longer than you've been alive.

Why would someone go to the quest board unless they were specifically looking for quests? Most people who started on quests only started because of a quest in /tg/ which piqued their interest on the front page.

I've been browsing /tg/ for something like three years now, and quest threads are annoying to wade through because they're too specific; if you get into it when it's on its 12th thread, it's such a high ceiling of backlog to catch up that it's not appealing, even if the idea's alright. We have threads about 40k, or Pathfinder or Shadowrun, systems, not one specific story run by one person that lasts weeks or months and keeps bumping to the top page.

It's not a discussion on how to be a better GM or ideas for storylines, it's somebody reading you a book at extremely slow speeds, to a crowd of maybe 10-20 people when the board's 100's or 1000's.

>>
>>512615
I don't see anything that sounds like D&D in there. It's not a board game, paper game sounds like origami to me, war games are clearly things like 40k, it's not a card game.
So I guess etc must be a pretty big part of the board. And considering that lore threads from vidya and other non-/tg/ media don't get deleted, those must also be in the etc category.
>>
>>512622
There is this magical thing called the catalog which lets you easily and conveniently look at things beyond the front page

storytime threads are someone reading you a book. Quests are RPGs with the player->character ratio out of whack.

So they should be banned, right?

This is the hurdle that people can't seem to get over. Why should it be gone just because you, specifically, don't like it. It clearly has an audience, it's just that audience isn't you

I can't stand the constant threads about "ELDAR SLAVE WHAT DO? I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO RAPE HER FER DE EMPERA", but I have to wade through those threads when I read /tg/, too. There are far more threads about eldar waifus, elf rape, sex medicine, and genderswapping during prime-time than there are quests.

But I have to live with those. You don't see me crying to /qa/ about how we need to have a waifufagging board to cleanse /tg/ of the meta-garbage that doesn't belong there.

>It's not a discussion on how to be a better GM or ideas for storylines, it's somebody reading you a book at extremely slow speeds, to a crowd of maybe 10-20 people when the board's 100's or 1000's.
This definition alone disqualifies 30-40% of the threads there right, now.
>>
>>512642
Because the audience it has does not overlap with the /tg/ audience. Quests are not /tg/. They're fine on their own board.

>I can't stand the constant threads about "ELDAR SLAVE WHAT DO? I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO RAPE HER FER DE EMPERA"
Those are /tg/ related. "Kancolle Quest" and "Joker Quest" and whatever other shit are not /tg/.

Quests can go on the quest board, and /tg/ on /tg/. Then everyone can be happy except the people who desperately want their Quests on /tg/ because they don't think people will pay attention to them unless they get tricked into it.

cuck threads should be fine too since you can just filter them. and Gamergate threads are fine on /v/ since they can be filtered- nobody should complain about those, right?

>>
>>512657
>Because the audience it has does not overlap with the /tg/ audience.

This is a complete, and utter lie. If quest audience did NOT overlap, there would not be a single quest on /tg/. The overlap exists because people who play CYOA games has a subset which also enjoy quests. That's why quests exist on /tg/ in the first place.

You are completely delusional if you think otherwise. Quests wouldn't be as big as they are if there wasn't a population on /tg/ that liked them. That's insanity.


>Those are /tg/ related. "Kancolle Quest" and "Joker Quest" and whatever other shit are not /tg/.

Okay, let me get this straight then; THOSE things you don't like are NOT /tg/ related, because even though they are CYOA RPGs, they are threads you don't like.

Meanwhile: >>>/tg/46947423 That's /tg/ related, and not at all a /v/ thread.

Just, first thread I found when I click on /tg/. Warcraft thread.

Because it's consistently the truth. Metabitching threads never got more than two dozen posters total, and of the anti-quest posts, only a dozen or so actually increased the unique IP count. And those threads went all the way to autosage and beyond.

Wiki definition of Warhammer 40K

>Warhammer 40,000 (informally known as Warhammer 40K, WH40K or simply 40K) is a tabletop miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop, set in a dystopian science-fantasy universe. Warhammer 40,000 was created by Rick Priestley in 1987 as the futuristic companion to Warhammer Fantasy Battle, sharing many game mechanics. Expansions for Warhammer 40,000 are released periodically which give rules for urban, planetary siege and large-scale combat. The game is in its seventh edition, which was released on May 24, 2014.

Time to face facts, your fanbase is made of very few people who actually play the game and the rest are tertiary consumers who only are there to fap to the porn and write little fanfiction stories. Only a small subset of people are allowed to post on /tg/ under this definition.

In fact I've never seen a retard try to claim that /tg/ 40K posters, RPG posters, D&D and CYOA posters do not overlap with quest posters. That's a first one that I can only imagine is derived from some form of FAS in your skull.

They actually aren't, they're a group of people coming together to decide the actions of the story.

CYOA can range from the character generators you see, to people making little stories for the characters they create. A quest is everyone making a story for a single character.

The overlap is huge.

You save that time for SS13, huh?

Glad to know that SS13, Minecraft, and Tic-Tac-Toe is /tg/ related.

A shameless copypasta and screencap thread! How on-topic and not-cancerous this is!
>>
>>512802
I don't play that, either. And I loathe Dark Souls, so don't even try that.

Nice strawman, though.
>>
>>512170
Except moot literally stickied himself throwing a tantrum on /q/ saying he'll never ever move quests because so many people wanted them gone from /tg/.

Much like his other retarded decisions like making /vr/, banning /r9k/ and /pol/ twice, taking years to make a business&finances board, etc.

That's wrong, I do it all the time.

>Strawman

You know what's a strawman? Assuming every quest isn't /tg/ related because you saw some anime quests despite many quests being Warhammer, D&D, fantasy, and sci-fi.

Nice strawman, though.
>>
>>512810
I sometimes mis-click /toy/. I don't stay because /toy/ isn't relevant to my interests unless it's the nerf thread.

So let's look at the potential mis-clickers that /qst/ will have?

>/pol/
>/sci/

Oh man, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.
>>
>>512811
The difference is, that while I dislike those threads as well, I only have to hide one. They're at least nice enough to contain the crap in one thread and not spew it all over the board like the Questers have. It's shit, but it's a less annoying type of shit.

And they don't try and evade filters just because they're that desperate for the attention. The guy that runs the NERV threads even admitted to not putting 'quest' in the title for that reason.
>>
>>512818
No, you have to hide 5 and counting
>>
>>512818
Oh, are you that guy who thinks literally everything is a general and has filtered away 95% of the board? Because that guy was hilarious and I wish he'd come back.
>>
>>512818
>I had to use a filter to avoid all but 1 quest, while I have to manually hide every single other thread I hide. QUESTS ARE THE PROBLEM!

You're not making much sense friendo.
>>
>>512826
No, but there are a fuckload of Generals on the board. If you filtered them, there'd be nothing left.

>>512834
If it were only one QM that wanted to be an ass and not use the word "Quest" I wouldn't have a problem with it. Hell, I don't have a problem with it, but too many people want to get cute with the filters. /qst/ could theoretically work, but so would a "Hey guys, just put [Quest] before the title of your thread, thanks" rule on /tg/.
>>
>>>/tg/46973743

This is very important to /tg/
>>
>>512071
Why?
Because they are new?
What about the new boards that get more use than some of the older boards?
Last I checked, /po/ is close to being dead while /wsr/ is doing more than /r/ could have hoped to.
>>
>>512850
That's your reason this 'menace' which eats a whole 8% of the board needs to be deleted? Because it gets past your filters sometimes?

I envy you if this is one of your life problems. I want to filter all the fucking warhammer threads, but there is no marker for warhammer threads that gets rid of them. The most cancerous ones remain like "ELDAR SLAVE WHAT DO"

Maybe warhammer threads should be forced to put 'warhammer' in their subject line.
>>
>>512887
Look, if you like to play a rousing game of whack-a-mole while trying to browse the board of your choice, that's your business.

Quest threads were dumped on /tg/ without it's consent, and asking someone not to be a jackass about a thread title isn't a huge deal.

A tagging system wouldn't be bad, but that's too much like the Site That Cannot Be Named and we can't have that.
>>
>>512850
>but so would a "Hey guys, just put [Quest] before the title of your thread, thanks" rule on /tg/.

You mean the thing questrunners agreed to do to get you faggots to ease up on the constant bitching? And then you all kept bitching anyway? You should be glad it's just one or two QMs that get cheeky with your filters, senpai.
>>
>>512887
This.

Fuck me, nothing could stoke up more hate for Warhammer than browsing /tg/ possibly could. I've never seen a quest as insipid as these My Little Commissar/Eldar Slav What Do? tier threads. And now with Age of Smegmar up there's a 30% increase in threads about ineffectual squabbling over how much of GW's cock their fanbase should be obligated to slurp.

I just want to talk about Infinity and Eclipse Phase, and read Hellborn on the blue moon incidences where it's up.
>>
>>512893
Quest threads started on /tg/. There was exactly one instance of maybe 20 quests being put on /tg/ over the course of three days and told to stay there, and that was entirely because /a/ cried about the three that were there and someone in the mod team decided to move the ones in other boards two.
/tg/ has always been where quests were. The protoquests were up at the same time as warhammer wednesday and the first real quests were exclusively on /tg/.
>>
>>512901
Well, there is /epg/ up at 67 posts.
>>
>>512893
>Quests were dumped on /tg/

Oh, you're still going with this lie?

/tg/ is the birthplace of questing. We had quests from /a/ and /v/ shoved on us when /a/ got its stringy panties in a twist, and they quite promptly died.
>>
>>512817
Huh, well I sometimes notice a board that I've never been to and visit it. Sometimes I stay, sometimes not.
>>
>>512066
>quests are /tg/
This shit was always stupid. No they aren't. How in the fuck is quests a traditional game?
>>
>>513031
How aren't they?
And don't say that it's because they're played over the internet, because so is literally every other /tg/ game. They even have special programs for a lot of them.
>>
>>513060
>How aren't they?
This isn't an answer to my question, mate.
>>
>>513089
Okay, here's an answer to your question.
Quests are formatted like an RPG, with one person running it and a number of players playing it. The person running it controls the setting and most events, the players have agency in the form of a specific character whose point of view is their connection to the game world.
There is literally only one difference between a quest and most rpgs, and that's the player to character ratio, usually with a single character to many players. And no, this is not such a jarring difference, since there's at least one RPG designed for exactly that (Everyone is John).
Now you answer my question. How are they not related?

Quests are not /tg/.

I think the /qst/ trial board won't work well at all unless mods try to enforce people going to /qst/ instead of planting their feet in /tg/ refusing to give it any chance at all.
>>
>>512725
>about that one guy who goes out of his way to break filters.
You just reminded me of the fuckwits on /d/ who put their subject line into the name field to fuck with filters.
I wish that was a bannable offense.

>retarded decisions like making /vr/

You take that back this instant. /vr/ is leagues above /v/ in quality even on its bad days, and it's near-impossible to talk about a more obscure retro game on /v/ without it getting swept off the board due to the fast pace in which it moves. /vr/ is slow but it benefits from being slow, I don't know what your problem with it is.
>>
>>512756
>The other has a legitimate point. Wizards in a lot of settings are oddly enough, pretty mundane.
It's one of the retarded "I'm making a D&D thread but not specifying that it's about D&D because there is nothing but D&D" threads. I haven't read it, but that's apparent from the OP post.
Those threads should all be purged because they are fucknut retarded.
>"Why does magic not use mana?"
>"Why are all elves sluts?"
>"Why can't fighters compete with wizards?"
The answer is always "It depends on the fucking setting you fucking faggot", which makes the OP one of the worst possible thread starters. These threads are nothing but bait and waste space on the board for interesting threads.

This really is /qst/ in a nutshell.
>>
So all of the questfags boycott /qst/ and then complain that there's nothing but shitposts there?

/tg/ just needs a rule to get rid of them on the board now, and see how /qst/ actually functions when it is actually allowed to do so, rather than be boycotted into obscurity by dumb niggers.
>>
>>513600
Or better yet, /qst/ should just be deleted because it's an extraneous addition that very few people asked for which has minimal benefit for /tg/ to everyone except the worst bleeding-vagina whiners.
>>
>>513518
>Quests are not /tg/.


Except quests are /tg/ and have been /tg/ since before you started using this site, you fucking newfag.
>>
>>513608
Accusing anyone and everyone that disagrees with you of being new isn't going to sway any opinions.
>>
>>513609
>Accusing anyone and everyone that disagrees with you of being new isn't going to sway any opinions.

Pretending that quests aren't /tg/ related when they've been on /tg/ since 2008 isn't going to make you seem like you know what you're talking about.

Quests were 8% of a board that was already low-pop. Whoever thought it could support its own board in the first place clearly never used /tg/ or took the time to count the threads that they were complaining about.

We're now to the point where the only argument people have for /qst/ is "But I want it!" as every other argument has been shot down.

Piss off redditor, we don't need to turn every board into a fragmented safe space just because that's what you're used to having.

>To approach the situation as objectively as I can, I would say that as of the boards currently on 4chan, /tg/ is the best fit for quests.

>That said, I do think they deserve their own board. NOT because I hate them or because I think they arent /tg/ related or whatever, but rather because their posting style is so wildly different from the rest of /tg/.

>Consider /v/ and why /vg/ was created. It wasnt because generals werent /v/ related or because a majority of the board hated them, it was because by their very nature, they overtook the top of the board and they created their own subculture within the board.

>In my opinion, quests and quest related threads are very much the same. They promote isolation, subcultures, and thread exclusive in-jokes/memes. Not to mention that by their very nature they tend to overwhelm the top of the board since good discussion takes longer between posts than a bunch of anons voting to lesbosex the magical girl or whatever.
>>
>>513777
Who gives a shit about the front page or viewing the catalog by anything other than creation date?

>. It wasnt because generals werent /v/ related or because a majority of the board hated them, it was because by their very nature, they overtook the top of the board and they created their own subculture within the board.
No, I believe the biggest reason for that was because every non-generalfag fucking hated the things.
>>
So are the mods ever going to actually make an effort on the board? So far in the 36ish hours the board has existed, there has been all of three mod posts, and they have all been tiny pointless 'changed a thing' posts rather than any attempt to talk to the people that are supposed to be using the board.

Assuming the manager that started this genuinely thought he was doing questfags a favor, it would be super nice if he'd actually show up again and maybe talk to them so the board can maybe turn into something that isn't a halfbaked mess that the intended userbase actively refuses to use.
