/v/ syndicate youtube gambling-thingy. It's like gg but with money
>>585965
Oh, /v/ actually cares about it?
I know they like their drama but no one really talks about guys like syndicate and shit. I've read about it on some gaming sites, but didn't think it was blowing up that much
As far as I know a lot of his fanbase are kids, so they're likely not going to give a shit anyway
>>585951
/tv/, /int/, /jp/, and /g/ all represented by generals.
How depressing.
>>586001
its like watching a trainwreck, you may not know anyone who is inside the train but its still interesting for you
>>586002
and /mlp/ and /co/, i wish mods added a little "mark as general" checkbox to the thread creation box, this way generals would have this invisible mark that wouldn't change anything but allow people to enable a "filter all generals" option, generalfags can keep their space and people don't need to worry about creating a gigantic filter that probably won't cover everything, and if you want to hide all generals except for that one you can just whitelist it on the filter
>>586014
Generals just shouldn't be on this site at all. They are largely cancerous and draw in people we don't want, clogging up certain boards and potentially reducing OC/creative threads. I visit maybe two unlabeled "generals" on two different boards, but I could live with them being gone if it benefited the whole site. Hell, a lot of it isn't even the problem of threads being created one after another, it's just this labeling of threads as generals and keeping them around like a clubhouse.
>>586022
Generals are basically chatrooms, little inside cliques form and it's not really easy to just join in as a "new" guy
>>586022
It works well when you have rules to keep them from staying for too long, /co/ has this rule where you can't make general threads about a show if its on hiatus (otherwise >>>/trash/), it works well because a lot of fandoms on the board like to talk about the show and make OC but only they care about the subject so even if the generals were deleted they would still make threads about said show anyway, this happened when SU was on hiatus, we got a lot of stealth /sug/ threads showing up because the fandom was really this autistic (i think this was before /trash/ but i am not sure), giving these fandoms a central area contains the autism and allows OC to be created while allowing them to be filtered more easily
/co/ generals usually die when the show dies or when the discussion about that movie runs out of gas, them we have situations like the frozen and Homestuck generals where they pushed their threads so far beyond the expiration date they became circlejerk with offtopic discussion that had nothing to do with comics and cartoons, on these occasions mods seem to step down and delete the threads
This doesn't apply to all boards though, /int/ has a lot of generals but most of them don't have an expiration date like /co/ ones do so the rules would need to be different, this checkbox idea would work well in all cases since all the generals, regardless of what board you're browsing can take too much space and just be annoying, you may not hate the fandom but having 10 threads covering the front page and needing to constantly dig through them to find content can be a pain in the ass, you don't need to add it to all boards just the ones that deal with this shit, generals can be a lot of fun when you actually browse them but for anyone who is outside its all the same autistic shit, leading to this selfish idea of "this board would be perfect if this one thing was deleted, fuck this fandom this is MY board" that we all share

Mate. /co/ generals are absolute shite. They're part of the problem.

Not really. The instant a thread becomes a general or someone sticks that general label there, the thread starts degenerating and loosing all flavour.
I'd rather a really popular show have 10 threads than a general. Even if I don't watch the series, I could still go into its thread and find something amusing or something to talk about.
>>586291
Almost...
>>>/a/143939365
>>586002
All boards have generals, some not 24/7.
/a/ generals are useful and not only to contain shitposting.
The only useless and that should get deleted are the kancolle, shitposting(umaru,etc) and not anime, not manga threads.
/g/ generals are to avoid shitposters because the board is full of them.
/v/ because the same thread over and over.
>>586401
>/a/ generals are useful and not only to contain shitposting.
AHAHAHAHA
>>586404
Prove otherwise.
>>586411
No, I think you are the one who needs to provide how the shitty generals killing the board somehow are helpful at all and 'containing shitposting' is simply a delusion unless you mean more than 1 thread which makes you an idiot. Containment is one of the most retarded things to do as well.

Hah, it's a Mr. Fresky
Is it just me or the new janitors are stupid? They don't delete shitpost. They delete things they don't like and try to perform censorship instead of moderating a board. I don't know if all jannies do this but this shit prevalent on /a/. How are your jannies on your homeboards act, /qa/?
>>586490
This has been happening for literally years. It's not a new thing.
>>586490
No, it is just you. The new jannys for /a/ actually seem good. They seem to be nuking entire post chains for stupid shit and saucefags seem to be getting nuked everytime along with people who respond to them. You'll have to provide shit for 'censorship'.
>>586448
So it did a flashforward like it was abruptly ending, then at the end of the chapter revealed it was simply trolling the reader. That's brilliant. I love when manga isn't scared to troll, especially because Japanese people like to mass spurn things over minor slights. (True about Americans as well, but they have no influence in this case.) They deserve to be trolled.

2ch, 2chan and 4chan use software that is related to earlier bbs software of which 2ch in particular more or less laid the foundation for modern image and text boards. Hiroyuki was at the helm of that.

actually scratch that, there's no difference between their buzzwords since reddit and /pol/ are one and the same
>inb4 "blame /v/"

there you had the answer after only 5 words but you decided to rant about boards and websites you don't like instead.
>>587447
yes, because they're one and the same. if the edgy teens fucked off it would be the same as /pol/ fucking off, and vice versa
>>587445
>tell me when edgy teens unironically using whatever reddit's equivalent of such buzzwords
Ironic shitposting is leagues worse, and that's on every board. Spamming reddit teen memery ironically literally does nothing but encourage its spread.
>>587448
>>587454
>the issue of /pol/
The issue of /pol/ is primarily that people like you won't stop fucking bitching about /pol/. People are literally directing anyone who says nigger back to /pol/ nowadays. That's not a fucking good thing. It's hysteria. Even when it is /pol/ cancer, you faggots can't ignore and report it, and instead have to hold entire reply chains about it. Case in fucking point, /his/.
>>587454
>4chan is srs business
>everything on /pol/ is pure racial hatred
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and false. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
>>587456
redirecting somebody to /pol/ for saying nigger is absurd, but at least from personal experience 90% of the time somebody gets redirected to /pol/ nowadays they're deserving of it. it's become an even more notable issue over the past year or two, and it needs to be cracked down on (and honestly the board serves little to no purpose for decent discussion and should probably be deleted for being the cause of all this shit at large, but that's another issue entirely.)
>>587458
>"why would you want to have decent discussion anywhere? that's stupid, let's have uninteresting shitposting instead."
>who are you quoting?
>I forget the quote, but it's something to the effect of "Any community based around acting ironically retarded eventually attracts actual retards."
>>587461
and my whole point is you're upset at the annoying teenage users, not the board topic. you'd be just as mad at the teenagers that post stupid shit even if /pol/ didn't exist so don't blame the board blame the userbase as a whole. here's your quote qt3.14
>>587461
>90% of the time somebody gets redirected to /pol/ nowadays they're deserving of it
This is an outright untruth
>Say something about Hitler: >>>/pol/
>Say something about gays: >>>/pol/
>Say something about trans people: >>>/pol/
>Make a jew joke: >>>/pol/
>Say the word nigger or kike: >>>/pol/
These are all things that have occurred on 4chan for years. You people act like you and you alone have the magical power to differentiate normal use from /pol/ use, but you don't. Context doesn't even matter, and instead of ignoring and reporting something that IS off topic and blatant shitposting instead of a normal joke, you just whine and further degenerate a thread into off topic territory.
>>587466
and what I'm saying is that /pol/ is the worst at keeping it's edgy shitposters contained to itself.
>>587473
I can say that that's an outright untruth too and be just as justified. Unless we have some hard data we can't say (hence why I specified "from personal experience.") That being said, unless a post has an obvious alt-right implication to it I don't see those happen often other than with use of nigger or kike (an even then nigger often gets redirects to /b/ instead.)
>You people act like you and you alone have the magical power to differentiate normal use from /pol/ use, but you don't. Context doesn't even matter, and instead of ignoring and reporting something that IS off topic and blatant shitposting instead of a normal joke, you just whine and further degenerate a thread into off topic territory.

>>588062
No, you are just an idiot who outright hates /pol/ so you only ever notice what is /pol/ and not is what is everything else, you stupid newshit. Stop talking like as if you know anything.
>>588063
I hate /trash/. It's a stupid idea that seems to be used very little as intended. People may bitch how "you're literally complaining about a board called /trash", which fair enough, it is but my issue is when it splits apart the userbase.
Like you're saying there, a /co/ thread has taken residence on /trash/. That's now a portion of /co/ users that will stay in that residence on /trash/ and if a thread does happen to be made on /co/ about the same topic, a portion will be over on /trash/ instead and won't bother with the actual place for discussion because they're not allowed their freedom.
I see little use for its existence and question whose idea it even was. It's like a few janitors just decided they like some shit that's not allowed as per rules so they might as well make a board for it
>>588064
no, I'm just sick of the edgelords it produces

>>588065
I am one of the few people who actually likes to partake in a variety of threads on /trash/ (except ERP, HG, and all that bullshit) and hopped in the thread when I saw it come up.
Their major complaint is as always, /co/ moderation is on par with the Nazis, who only let them have a thread on weekends, when the show airs.
That's their justification for moving to /trash/.
Despite personally liking the board and hosting a General on there, I genuinely feel it's about time to absolve the board, since they hit 4 million posts yesterday.
>>587473
Why would you be talking about trans people outside of /pol/
>>588066
>edgelords
Fuck you are stupid. You apparently don't even know what makes the board bad. It's not surprising that the people who bitch the loudest know the east. Also, the site isn't a hugbox. There is NO SUCH THING AS 'keep to own space' here.
>>587976
Never. Somebody else will take his place even if he dies.
>>588063
Don't think you should be able to make threads on it. Only respond to existing threads that have been moved. Posts shouldn't bump threads there either.

I'll probably make a legitimate thread about this tomorrow, but here's a quick breakdown of the average thread demographic of /trash/.

>>588063
I've been over there since it was created and watched it go to shit as you say. As dumb as it sounds, the only way for it to get better is for there to be moderation. It would also help if all the threads that got pointlessly shoved there from their original boards returned to where they came from and for HG to maybe move to /qst/, but that's not the main issue.
>>588112
>see, you're just proving my point by being an example of it yourself anon

>>588112
>HG to maybe move to /qst/
Fuck off.
Maybe an improved version where the creator of the HG could, for example, give things to the characters, and could have people in a thread vote on that, and where boons actually affected the characters, Etc., but until someone makes one like that, it belongs on /b/ and /trash/.
>>588101
My god, how do those /co/ general fags not kill themselves when they realize they are the cancer of their own board?
>>588063
I think there should be more actual moderation instead of moving threads to some containment board. The goal is get shit OUT, not let its community stay on the site. I don't even think threads get moved there anymore. It's just furry /b/.

Because they don't care about /co/ or /trash/. They only care about their sub-board or 24/7 general and the small fandom it has. /co/ mods were right to ban those generals and ones who mod /trash/ should do it as well since many break the no loli/shota rule outright.

what needs to be done is unbanning loli/shota on /trash/ (I'm not into it, but seriously, why isn't it allowed?) and making /cog/.
also maybe moving HG to /qst/ as long as the board has some features implemented to be able to deal with them properly, but that probably won't happen (just like the moderation /trash/ desperately needs probably won't happen either.)
>>590023
NO
STOP SUGGESTING GENERAL CONTAINMENT BOARDS
>the moderation /trash/ desperately needs
It's fucking /trash/
>>590034
it's either that or every board having a second catalog specifically for generals that take up their own pages. /co/ generals are obviously a problem both for /co/ and for /trash/, I don't see why a pointless fear of making more boards to solve a blatant issue is good reasoning not to do so.
>It's fucking /trash/
t. somebody who didn't use /trash/ between november and february; the place genuinely had little to no arguments or shitposting and now spergs are overrunning many of the established threads and killing the communities that developed during that short period of time
>>590040
Because they're cancerous. You don't need fucking new boards for everything, and you certainly don't need them for fucking generals. We want shitty threads OUT, not pushed somewhere where the community can fester on the site and encourage more shit. It's not a "pointless fear". It's unwarranted. Containment boards never work. They're shit and only encourage more shit. Your logic about these threads being a problem for two boards leads to the logical conclusion that it's the same for near every board. Every board on this site has its problems, that does not mean we make 50 new fucking boards for the things we don't want on the site.
/trash/ is /trash/. That's what it was made for. Sorry bud. Just because something sprung up does not mean that a fucking board made for dumping shitty threads now needs the moderation of the rest of the site.
>>590044
except those generals are wanted, they just aren't wanted competing for space with other threads in the catalogs of /co/ and /trash/. this should be obvious enough in how they were banned from /co/ in the first place. also, claiming that a containment board for generals would somehow leak is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. why the fuck would generals start leaking into other boards? that makes absolutely no sense.
also congrats on knowing literally nothing about /trash/, it's convenient that I don't have to assume you have any clue what the fuck you're talking about there either
>>590048
Generals don't leak, the shitty community and posting habits do. When you keep a community on the site, they stay on the site and aren't limited to one board. Reading comprehension. Generals do not belong on the site period. They are circlejerks that exist solely to exist, and the people that post in them are just as bad. With more containment boards for cancer popping up comes more encouragement for cancer outside of the site to come in. And before you go "give examples", how about looking at /vg/ yourself. Someone a couple threads ago asked the same thing and claimed I was wrong, to which I gave around five examples from the catalog just from clicking around.
>>590052
oh, so you're one of those delet generals types who thinks that a decent general is somehow impossible and that because you dislike them they should be deleted.
to use your own shitty argument on /trash/ against you on the assumption that generals are somehow an innately bad thing (which they aren't): Sorry bud. Just because something sprung up does not mean that a board made for the discussion of x subject can't have generals relating to that subject :^)
>>590023
>making /cog/
What an absolutely terrible idea. I hope no one ever even looks at this or considers it for a second.
>>590059
Generals inherently result in a loss of discussion about the topic over time, and eventual circlejerking. This is evident looking at most generals. They start out fine and actually have constructive, relevant, and lasting discussion, but eventually become houses for shitposting vaguely related to the topic at hand, or at best, just endless discussion about the same things, image dumps, and forced bumps. The label is the problem, the clubhouse mentality is the problem. OC and interesting threads on boards cannot occur if the catalog is filled with general threads where people post fanart and memes. At the same time, creating new boards for everything that becomes a problem only results in encouraging the problem to stay on a certain corner of the site, encouraging certain people into the site from the outside. This is not limited to generals, and is something the people here need to understand. With lots of boards in general, what was once a unique community with unique ideals has the greater potential to introduce undesireables into it, in turn potentially changing the community for the worse. A non board related example would be the upsurge of ironic shitposting as a culture, spurred on by the increasing attention this site now has and the increasing spread of internet culture to undesireables.
>to use your own shitty argument on /trash/ against you
For the record, I understand why you would want moderation on /trash/, as a sort of board for second chances, something I did not immediately think about. However, there are some contextual differences between the discussion boards and a board created for threads to be exiled to. Regardless, my stance on generals and containment boards does not change.
>>590064
why don't you actually explain why it's a bad idea, oh wise anon?
>>590067
I agree with all of that, but that doesn't make any difference in the creation of a /cog/. /co/'s generals aren't going away, and keeping them contained to one area would lessen the interaction between general-goers and typical /co/ users compared to how things are right now. that's not to mention the fact that having it will fix the aforementioned issue of them taking up space on both /co/ and /trash/.
and since you seem to have come around on /trash/ slightly, allow me to point out that it's very rarely used as a dumping board at this point. even the generals that exist there came there on their own accord, so it's not like /trash/ continuing to be considered the dumping board is accurate or reasonable. if anything, at its prime it was /comfy/+/degenerate/+old /b/, and now it's just turning into /fur/+/cog/ with a metric fuckton of shitposting
>>590023
>seriously, why isn't it allowed?
Probably the old "loli/shota atrracts chesse pizza posters" which did happen in the old /l/ and /s/ boards.
>making /cog/
1. Most of the offending generals are cartoons so you would be making a cartoon fandom board rather than a /cog/
2. /vg/ works because games are interactive and not passive like watch comics and cartoons. Those threads would just be for fandom fags they should be on forums where they can chat about the latest fanfiction.
3. Not all generals are bad. Just the 24/7 ones with people who rarely use the board for anything beyond their general and the board's drawthread.
>>590072
My point was that the creation of one board will inevitably lead to the creation of more, because the problem with /co/ is not limited to /co/. Creating containment boards just masks the problem, and if we just create one for every problem, the moderation team just doesn't have to work, and the community suffers at the same time from both that and the fact that more boards pop up. The moderation team has the power to stop people from creating clubhouse generals, but they don't do anything about it.
>>590079
that's pure slippery slope fallacy though mate, and you're ignoring the fact that even by what you're saying it'd still be better for them to make a containment board for that stuff since they've shown that they won't delete generals
>>590078
a /co/ & /ca/ split is something I've seen suggested many times but I wouldn't consider myself informed enough to know whether or not that would be a viable solution. I can mostly agree on the other points.
>>590082
>slippery slope fallacy
This isn't the case and people honestly shouldn't discount ideas based solely upon the fact that they imply consequences, especially when a lot of the time within the context of this site they're legitimate concerns and possibilities.. Why wouldn't it? /co/ is hardly the only board with the problem of generals, just as /v/ wasn't, and people will not stop suggesting new boards, just as they haven't since Hiro got here.
>>590089
I actually agree that slippery slope is a bit of a shitty and undefined fallacy, I just think this is a very blatant example of it. I mean, /vg/ was created a good while ago and no other generals boards have been created, and so far hiro hasn't shown any interest in creating boards for generals as opposed to ones covering new topics or splits of previous boards.
you're also still ignoring the fact that the generals will stick around regardless, and that not making a containment board wouldn't change the fact that there are many shit generals around. having a board for them wouldn't fix the fact that they're often shit, but it would fix the practical issue of them taking up space on a board, and that's better than nothing.
I honestly don't see any negatives coming from making a /cog/ in itself. I don't see anything inherently wrong with making new boards (especially when it's to separate two disparate types of posters who have little reason to be forced together,) and the only issue other than that is the idea you mentioned that it'll cause more generals boards to be made (and that's a dubious assumption to make.)
>>590067
All you have to do is look at /tv/ to see how general cancer is slowly creeping and taking over the board.
>>590091
>I honestly don't see any negatives coming from making a /cog/ in itself.
The negatives come from the affect that it will have on /co/. 24/7 generals are bad enough but when you give them their own board, you close off any conversation about that subject on /co/ because general threads will ignore most topics about the shows especially ones that go against the group opinions about the show. And if you make a thread on /co/, you will get your thread spammed because the same shitposters that hate the show will tell you to fuck off back to general. You will see threads on /qa/ about people making numerous threads about things that should be in /cog/ and on top of that you probably still get generals on /trash/ just because. I really don't think a /cog/ will solve anything that moderation can't solve.
>>590068
There's a very good reason /co/ generals are forced off the board by the mods
If you think the generals on /co/ retain a high quality of discussion and deserve a place, even when these shows are on hiatus, you're either retarded or blind to reality.
Maybe you like your little chatrooms you've got going on, so yeah, you obviously won't see the problem because you're part of it.
This spread of generals on /co/ is quite frankly cancerous. I see your point that generals aren't inherently bad, but the fact of the matter is, most of them are. /co/'s a board that unironically had 1000 Generals for one film, that film being Frozen. You want to tell me they were all high quality threads? Hell no, that shit needs to be kept in checked.
Generals are a large problem with /co/, because now some people seem uncapable of making a thread without just labelling it a general. That's not the point of threads. There's no need at all for a thread to be up 24/7 at all times. It's just that that mentality has spread and people think there is, but it's not. So as a result when there's little to talk about or things have already been discussed to death, we get the shitposting, the memes, the shipping or the lewdposting.
You should be making threads when you have an interesting topic or an actual point of discussion. The amount of threads I see that simply have "X General" in the title with nothing worthwhile in the comment field is ridiculous. Not to mention how because generals sort of become their own little community, it's not really easy to come in and just talk about X show because it's sort of their little clique. When you try to discuss shit you might simply be told "We already talked about that" and then the next few posts that follow are just the same old images that have been posted in every other general or a bump just because of the "We need to be here 24/7 mentality". That's not how shit should work around here and it kills both creativity and discussion >>590107
>>590107
this is a fair point, but honestly I'm not sure if the increase in shitposting would be enough to override the positives of them being contained elsewhere. maybe it would be, maybe it wouldn't be; I don't think I know the board well enough to say (not to mention that it's basically something that would have to be tested to know for sure.)
>>590113
this is a good post, but I never said I disagreed with any of this m80. the only thing you said relevant to the idea of /cog/ was the last bit where you quoted the post I responded to above.
>>590120
I'm saying /co/ generals are shit, so there is literally no reason to have /cog/. Why promote shit rather than get rid of it. It'd be a board filled with shit and would only split up /co/ making it not only slower but also limiting discussion.
Hence it's a terrible idea that no one should take into consideration. Cartoons do not need generals. At all.
>>590125
and as I said to that other anon earlier, mods aren't going to delete generals, so /cog/ should still be considered as a practical solution
>>590131
It's not practical nor is it a solution.
It's literally promoting absolute shit. I don't get your logic, it seems you agree they're shit but think they should get their own board. For what purpose?
Promoting shit is going to lead to even more shit. I'd say /co/ has about 7 active generals, it's not enough to fill a board but if you are going to make a /cog/, people will make generals for absolutely anything. It's promoting a cancerous mindset that honestly speaking, seems to come from people who haven't been here long.
Not to mention the absolute split it causes in the userbase, /co/ doesn't need that at all. Generals are shit.
Anyway, this is the Happenings thread, I won't talk about it anymore, not as a "I'm making my point and ending it there haha", but this discussion just doesn't have place here.
>>590137
fair enough, I have to do something else and it looked like whatever would be discussed would just be a retread of what me and that other anon discussed anyway
What the fuck is going on with /fit/ right now?
Every single day there's at least one "women don't like ____ just give up" thread. And sometimes weird identical threads being made repeatedly weeks apart, like that guy asking why his sister can eat shit.
Is it the same botnet that starts barely-veiled interracial cuck threads on every board? Or just the HFF frog lashing out?
>>590141
I don't know anything about /fit/, but /tv/ spawns forced memes out of the most inane and insignificant shit. Might just be a single person on /fit/ trying to start something.

>you're also still ignoring the fact that the generals will stick around regardless, and that not making a containment board wouldn't change the fact that there are many shit generals around.
You solve that by banning them, simple as that. For the negatives, what this anon >>590107 In addition to that, while people love to throw around the term 'containment' this concept DOES NOT EXIST on 4chan. I can't emphasise this enough, it just doesn't exist. In-fact, we are in the perfect thread for this. How often do the dumb horsefuckers post this shit in this thread? It is pretty regular. It being a happening thread means nothing. How often do you see furfucks here? Never. The simple fact is, 4chan is intended as a community and not the traditional forum kind. An ACTUAL community. What does this result in? People use your 'containment board', they create culture and various other shit that people here don't want and spread it on every other single board, either willingly or unwillingly. This is a fact, anything that happens on one board will always travel to the others, one day. Generals also have a connection to a topic. So what happens when you make a thread for that topic on another board? It won't be a normal thread, this happens with /vg/ shit. It might start off okay at first but it will quickly just become whatever shit is in its general. It'll become a general outside the general.
Containment does not exist on 4chan nor is it a solution to anything. It is nearly a illusion of a solution and a long term problem. If it needs to be contained, it needs to be beaten and banned, not catered to. Just because something is wanted, it doesn't mean it belongs. In a community, this is normally refereed to as 'undesirables'. It doesn't matter if people want to do that shit, since the very beginning your kind was undesired here.
>>590230
this post is insanely assblasted and ignores the basic fact that generals won't be banned in a million years
stay mad anon
>>590199
this is some advanced shitposting
>>590232
It also raises some good points that you're ignoring just so you can say "u mad" and continually posit the idea that because generals aren't banned we shouldn't care and we should just let the mod team ignore problems instead of fixing them. It's one of the LEAST assblasted posts in this entire argument.
>>590238
I ignored the rest because it's already been said, but with less pointless assblastedness (for example, whining about 'horsefuckers' which I rarely see around here.)
>>590241
>which I rarely see around here
Are you new to these threads? They post some kind of board happening here nearly every few days. This is like the one thread in a long time I HAVEN'T seen any in.
>>590242
I've been here for more than a year now probably and I see mlp stuff only occasionally
I think you're sperging out a bit friendo. I get the feeling that if it was a string of happenings from another board you wouldn't be whining like this, it's just because it fits some boogeyman you just don't like.
>>590241
It wasn't whining. How is bringing up the only actual example of an 'containment board' whining?
>>590254
not only is that untrue (see /trash/ for furshit,) it's pretty obvious from the wording that he took some issue with them rather than just using them as an example for the sake of the argument.
>>590245
>sperging
There you go, exaggerating with extreme assumptions again. I'm not even the person you were bitching at. /mlp/ is a containment board, like the fact or not. It's still not well respected.
>>590260
I never said otherwise, I just pointed out that that anon's reaction is obviously due to him taking some personal issue with mlp shit
>>590265
he can totally poz my neg hole if he wants to, just saying
>>590259
That is me, fuckwit. /mlp/ is the sites only actual containment board, which is why it was used as an example. You seem to be taking that I used as /mlp/ as an example and said that it leaks despite being a containment board on a personal level.
>>590268
no, I'm just saying that you seem to be using it as a boogeyman on the same tier as calling somebody reddit
>>590263
You don't seem to understand this website and its community. Nor do you seem to get that the reason it's not liked is because it is a containment board for something the majority acknowledged as cancer many years ago. Have you really never seen "horsefucker" used here before? How long have you been coming to 4chan?
>>590273
I've been coming here for a good few years, only regularly for the last couple. I have seen horsefucker used before.
any more questions?
>>590271
>In-fact, we are in the perfect thread for this. How often do the dumb horsefuckers post this shit in this thread? It is pretty regular. It being a happening thread means nothing.
How is this using it as a boogyman? I can not comprehend. Are you upset about my horsefucker comment or something? Because if it is, that is what everyone fucking refers to them as.

And then /v/ did it.

And then it got deleted while I was writing this post.
Just search in the catalog. I'm 100% sure there will be more threads soon.
>>590392
bit of background please? never heard of this
>>590390
Not the same guy but no, a happening is usually something unusual worth reporting, ongoing events like "my board is going to shit" and everyday shit like "mods aren't doing their jobs/following their rules" aren't happenings (there are occasional exceptions like if there is a shitstorm for example, and even them it depends on how hard the community is being affected by that, if its only relevant/important to an isolated subcommunity AKA a general them it doesn't count, the board where it happens also affects the judgment)
>>590393
This was a porn game that had been forever in development. Forever being 3 years.
The problem is that there was no reason for that.
The main artist kept redrawing and redrawing everything for no purpose and all the time they only had two of the main characters done (from a total of four) and figures that with the asset leak many of the enemies weren't even close to completion.
So they kept delaying the project all while getting at +20k/month on Patreon.
The whole thing was very shady.
Now it figures the creator did a really stupid contract with the artist, and the later quit the project with +190k and all the art assets.
So the guy just gave a huge tip on the dropbox password and let the hell brake lose.
Now /v/ is going crazy over a porn game (again).

If that was true then why is there still Steven Universe, Star vs and The Loud House threads on /co/? Only show I've seen the mods actively go after was FOP threads and that was less about the show and more about some banevading troll they thought was in those threads. No 11 min modern cartoon requires a perpetual 24/7 thread on /co/ unless you are a waifufag and/or a shippingfag which seems to what most of these general threads are full of.

To be fair, the gameplay was actually pretty decent in it. The art was fucking atrocious outside of portraits and the project itself exemplifies everything wrong with Patreon's monthly setup, but it had a good foundation as a porn game.
The game had been dicussed on /v/ now and then, almost always in a negative fashion due to aforementioned Patreon thing, so this was a comeuppance that many were happy to see. It's still kind of sad, however, since I think it could have become a great porn game if the developers cared.
