Yeah I found that out firsthand. Do these retards not remember how the initial exodus to 8chan began?

If those faggot's don't move over here it will be their lost.

But we will start a

NEW AGE

Who runs this board?

>>37
I do. I own /vr/ on 8chan (and here too) and I made sure that the first thing I did was claim /v/ before Mark could get his greasy hands on it.

heh

https://8ch.net/v/res/7722770.html#q7724374

>Ralph shill, please report

Oh you're so funny Mark

>>32
You realize that by stickying this thread new posts won't bump it on the overboard?

>>45
Didn't think it would matter, but w/e

>>50
still waiting for him to fucking do it

>"hey guys, let's not make this board as shit as the last /v/, okay!"
>immediately stickies a battered wives thread about e-drama

We had a good run.

>>57
Then discuss something else related to getting people to move here form 8/v/. That's the point of this thread, Mark being a faggot was just a jumping-off point.

And on that note, who here can make some "stealth advertising" OC to advertise this place? Like the reaction images people edited to include the URL for 8chan in small enough type that it wouldn't be visible in the thumbnail from the first exodus.

>>61
>implying that the whole Infininiggers kerfuffle isn't a good enough reason to move
>implying the formerly welcoming admin just up and fucking leaving the entire site to rot isn't a good enough reason to move
>implying anyone still sucking on /bwithvideogames/'s teet isn't a waste of genetic material

Awful lot of implications, champ.

muh e-drama!

m-m-m-maaark!!

And here I was thinking this place stood a chance.

>>61
>stealth advertising
>implying that won't be hotpocketed
Someone could buy an ad for a few days on /v/ just to take the piss out of Mark.

>>76
Is mark actually nuking endchan posts? He didn't bother me much until he started shilling for josh.

So how long do you think it'll take for THIS site to stab us in the back?

>josh_and_hotwheels.jpg
What the fuck was Wheeler thinking?

Also hi 8chan is dead, can I stay here now

We should reach a consensus on the next chan we are going to use, I like the idea of a brand new chan like this, but it is to bare bones. Finalchan is nice and has a small userbase already.

I just want to play MH with anons.

>>88
Use both, why not? Hell, use as many as catch your interest.
http://www.allchans.org/
I think that the age of one chan to rule them all is over.

This site may be shit but its significantly less shit than current 8chan.

>>78
He filtered endchan to "ralph shill, please report"

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

Welp, looks like I'm here now.

>>38
Good man.
Thanks for the save, Balrog. With all that's TUMBLINGDOWNTUMBLINGDOWNTUMBLINGDOWN we really needed it.

>>103
>Reposted the pics and I'm not even you
>Got banned
I fucking hate 8chan.

>>103
>reason: revolt
Really? Has Mark non-figuratively gone insane?

>>105
What's the deal with the pics? Too small on your and his screenshots to see anything.

>>107
Mark being a cunt and word filtering endchan.xyz

>>108
Oh. He's just technically illiterate. Remember how I told you about the SSLTLS certificate problem back on 8/vr/? Yeah.

>>108
Also, he claims to have removed the filter. Damn, it takes a special kind of lamer to learn about certificates after seeing the invalid/outdated/etc problem for the first time when he is already running a fucking imageboard.

that feel when many anons wont be told on 8chan whats happened.

>>114
its hilariously sad. a comedy of errors.

>>114
I know up until today I've treated 8/v/ like halfchan and wouldn't be caught dead going there, so I would've been amongst the uninformed.

That morbid curiosity didn't disappoint, though: what a fucking schmozzle.

>>32
Ah, Mark and this stories.

This just got posted over on 8/v/. I'm dying here.

>posting squids

Good taste, board owner.

Guess this might be our home once 8chan dies.

>>61
What would I gain from that?

Can we have September /v/ back? That's all I've ever really wanted, to be honest.

>board owner that isn't a complete waste of life and a pathetic kike
good enough for me
I'll be sticking to 8ch for now to see how it turns out and if it hits the shitter, I think I'll come here

>>135
I plan to lurk here and post whenever I can think of something good to post.

>BO isn't a namefag
>8chan anons are calling anyone who's jumping ship to endchan shills
>endchan.xyz is filtered on /v/
>mfw

I think this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship anons

I mostly post on /tech/, but I couldn't find a better place to post this.

I just looked at this site's /tech/. There's a sticky with someone announcing that they've been made co-owner, using a name, posting a picture of their fursona, and "ask me anything". I told him that those threads were against the rules (only discussion of technology is allowed), and a few minutes later, he went to the IRC channel and asked what the rules were. Now he's telling me that it's not against the rules "because he's moderation".

I'll be staying on 8chan for now. But good luck with this /v/, it does seem better than 8chan's.

>>152
the co-owner being a faggot means jack shit to us so long as he keeps his autism out of here

Now that said I'd argue its 8chan's fault for letting faggots like himself in the first place because of hotwheel's invitation to redditors

>>32
Feels good, man.

>>154
Unless another technology board becomes more popular it could stop /tech/-/v/ crossposters from migrating, or do bad things to this site's reputation. I just made >>>/t/.

Just came here from hearing about this place from /monster/. Got a few questions for the BO.
What are the rules here? Other than the standard global rules of course.
How strict are you on off-topic shit, on a scale from /b/ with vidya to /svidya/?
How many users do we have here? Would you recommend trying to get more users from 8chan or is that a bad idea?
Would you shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?

>>171
Judging from stats, Most of the users are /pol/ but I imagine less than 100 people are here since things slowed down. Most of the niche interest boards are content with where they are now so I don't believe you could sell them on this, plus many of their counterparts here besides /pol/ are barren, and then you have people who might not bother since seeing /pol/ on top would give them the idea that they bleed over into the small boards already.

I'm not the BO so these are just my observations, I don't even know about the rules either.

>>172
I have to admit, /pol/ is looking a lot better. Less shills and shitposting, better discussion. Reminds me of September. Not seeing many lolbertarians, but I'll take a variety of viewpoints over one ideology being dominant (I just pray endchan /pol/ doesn't go too far into any ideology, be it one I agree with or not). /v/'s looking pretty good too, if a bit deprived of threads. Still waiting for a few new users so we can hit that sweet spot of not being dead and having high post quality.
Also, can I assume stuff like multi-image posting will come here?

Also, I can't make a new thread. It says reload after a bit, but it doesn't work. What gives?

Just thought I should drop this in here..

>>111
He actually has it looks like:
https://8ch.net/settings.php?board=v

>>180
Didn't know https didn't work on the settings page:
http://8ch.net/settings.php?board=v

>>38
hope you aren't a faggot who lets shitposting get out of hand and speaks coon

>>88
Finalchan uses the same software as 8chan which will have the same issues once it grows large enough.

Also it doesn't seem to load in https.

Just look how it burns

https://8ch.net/v/res/7739370.html#q7741466

>>193
He just did it the absolute madman.

Well I guess I'm finally free

>>199
This is the end.

Since I can't make video game threads, I'm gonna post a link to Finalchan.

http://finalchan.net/v/index.html
Whichever one of these sites ends up getting polished quicker and more efficiently, I'll stick with.

>>199
>>200
The saddest thing is fullchan didn't die because of SJW tekeover or sellout but out of pure incompetence.

So, can we stop jerking off to how much 8chan sucks and actually discuss vidya now?

>>203
Yah nigger cmon, lets make a thread

>>199
It really burns Mark's ass that there's a possible rival to his shitpile board

Let's make the board like last September

>>199
you and me, hopefully others too, still missing a lot of features from oldfullchan

>>218
Quick reply is the feature that is missing the most can't really think of anything else right now.

Just gonna post this in honor of the migration.

>>252
Wait, are you implying boards besides /v/, /pol/ and /tech/ on 8chan aren't dead either?

Well, I am heavily inclined to stay here because thanks to a certain salty retard 8ch barely works and posting quality declined to such a degree I can only tolerate it when irish levels of drunk.
I doubt other drawfags will migrate though, the "big" ones especially.

>>284

Yes boards like /co/, /a/, /tg/, /tv/ etc. The boards with 200-700 users.

>>287
It's alright drawfag-kun, a few more broken features and site downtime will bring more people over here.

>>288
Nah SU killed /co/ there were a few revivals here or there but it lost its staying power

>>289
The bigger issue is it'll probably split between those who stay on 8chan, and those who go to random different boards rather than all going to one spot. The same principle why some people stayed on 4, only worsened.

Smaller tends to lead to better post quality, though, so if one of the chans gets enough to be active without being swarmed with shitposting maybe it's for the best.

>>287

New ones will rise.
**I guess I'll have to get off my ass and do drawfagging for once**

Also, SWFs work, right?

>>293
Sounds good.

>>287
Yeah I can see myself posting here, getting some good vibes. Fucking 8chan quality dipped so fast its unreal.

>>291
>small comfy population with no gamergate bullshit to draw in the tumblr and redditfags

yes plz

>>291
We can use both sites for now, we'll see what happens when Next is implemented fully.

The worse admins are on the larger boards anyway.

>>291
Pretty much, everyone who was on 8chan soon after the exoduses knows how high the posting quality was at the time.

The possibility of reliving those times here on endchan fills me with glee.

>>287
Well hey, unlike 4chan the site it self is burning so people could come here if they thing it's a good alternative, plus there might be some new drawfags that'll sprout out
Maybe it's time I actually start doing some draw fagging for once

Ok, so I'm pretty sick of this shit with 8chan. How different is Endchan vs. 8chan? I don't want to move from 1 shitshow to another again.

>>301
A namefagging horsefucker tried to take ownership of /tech/ and got booted after 5ish hours

While the reply box and the multiple image posting isnt a deal breaker for me I need my tomorrow theme. Plan on adding additional themes?

>>317
Yeah, the reply box and what feels like slow refreshes kind of kill the feeling for me, but if they could fix those two things this would be better than 8ch.

So, what do you guys think should be our new mascot?
I kind of like the knight myself

>No, man. I know exactly what I'm doing. I just don't know what effect it's going to have. Over there controls power in this chan. That station has readouts on the DNS server. That big knob there makes a crazy noise. Sparks come out of that slot if you put stuff in it. And I'm learning more every day.

This is how I felt upon leaving 8chan.

>>324
So thats a no for the knight?

Huh, seems like thumbnails for gifs are fucked.

Oh yeah does anyone else get a broken catalog on https?

Also you can't paste images directly into the reply box.

Anyway, seems like Josh is starting doing something and it's like almost 4AM so I'm off to sleep.
See you lads in the morning, could be amusing for Josh to shit his pants yet again.

I hope this site isn't run by jews like 8ch.

Is it run by jews? The jew that found 8ch is an idiot. The jew that runs /v/ is a retard. The jew that updated the site is a fucking dipshit.

All these nepotistic jews are ruined the community.

Is this site run by jews or what?

I just shilled endchan with some oekaki posts to get around the wordfilter. The moment I get banned, it will be enough.

>>345
It's run by some guy from /tech/.

>>261
I miss you /sp/

>new imageboard with same userbase without Mark

Im more than okay with this. Heres to new beginnings friends.

>>339
Apologize for the mistake

All I need my tomorrow theme and I'm all set.

>>342
See ya Mister drawfag

>>345
They already run everything, friend.

Worst case scenario, I'm forced to migrate here.
Best case, I visit both boards at the same time.
At the moment, I'm just here as a semi-bunker, we'll see how shit pans out.

I never got the hate for Mark. Dude's a faggot, but he seems to get way more shit than is warranted. His fuck-ups are more noticable and blown out of proportion because he has power. I'm more pissed at Josh being a incompetent faggot, and Hotwheels and Jim for giving no fucks and not intervening.

>>504
>>530
There is only one way this can end.
With The End.

>>440
They're all faggots, Mark is just a tripfag and an attention whore who deliberately is ruining /v/ so he gets the warranted hate.

I know. That's pretty clever of him to hide the wordfilter by replacing some characters with HTML entities. So that anyone who searches for "endchan" on that page (like I did) won't find anything and think it is not filtered. He should become a politician or something like that.

I was banned for posting his address anyway so good riddance to that shithole.

The thing that made me come here is Mark saying that I should probably be afraid of it.

Desperate usage of censorship, fear mongering and identity politics.
Reminds me of something.

And the best part? No Mark to jew everything to hell and back. I can deal with the slow post traffic, if it means no jewery from that shitwit.

Too bad nobody ever gives a straight answer about why Mark is literally Satan. It's always "Mark banned me six-million times for ban evasion" or "Why won't Mark ban Tumblrtail and waifu threads and 4AM threads and webm threads and filename threads and general threads and <insert all of the rest of the things I don't like here> threads?"
Mark's a faggot and an attention whore, no question, but that's hating him as a person. I don't get why he's hated as an board owner. Actually, I do, it's because people want /v/, as a collective, to stop liking what they don't like, but using that as board policy is hogwash, and isn't a straight answer.

>>697
This, board wars are /intl/-tier bullshit.

>That's pretty clever of him to hide the wordfilter by replacing some characters with HTML entities.
How to Piss Away All of Your Goodwill In One Fell Swoop: An Illustrated Guide
By Mark

>>707
Mark is a Nintendrone.
He doesn't accept anti-Nintendrone talk and has banned people many times because they did not support Nintendo whilst operating under the guise of "fighting console warring."
Console wars have, too, become a sort of anti-sacred cow that everyone hates. It's true, console wars resulted in a lot of shitflinging that got nowhere. Now, all you have to do is mention console wars and people get triggered.
He's sucked off Cripplekike and Josh both when they asked for money, begging people to donate to them.
He once genuinely pondered the idea and asked for the possibility of getting paid for being the Board Owner of /v/ from Cripple. He was luckily shut down from that.
From there, he's been censoring things he doesn't like more often. He's given into paranoia where he thinks everyone is out to get him they are whilst screaming GOONS, INTL, SVIDYA SPAMMERS, STEALING YOUR IP, SS13
He's gone off the deep end and he's accepting no criticism anymore. He's a gibbering lunatic. He's one of those kinds of kings in fantasy worlds where they just lose their minds being unable to trust anyone, so he's setting the streets on fire.

>>711
He's one of those kinds of kings in fantasy worlds where they just lose their minds being unable to trust anyone, so he's setting the streets on fire

>>723
actually hold on a sec.

is it just me or do the threads look like really old ones, the TF2C one looks like one of the first threads and the witcher 3 GOTY one is older than dinosaur dicks, I remember that thread too.

>>739
Probably sorted by bump order.

>>741
no the dates are all from today but it looks just like the thread from the video game awards.

The tf2c threads have used the same image a few times in a row

>>743
i'm either having an existential crisis or a terminal case of deja vu.

I was watching the thread on GOTY update and I swear I saw the post I made in that thread come up.

>>743
I'm pretty sure that's the same TF2C thread from a few days ago because the board's been shitting itself and freezing a lot.

>>762

yeah, no.

renge is shit and tomoko ain't the fucking mascot of 8chan.

>>739
The database they spent 3 days migrating is about a week old now, and full of dead/old threads.

yet it was important to preserve that content.

>>762
From what i recall, 8chan wanted Nano, partially because the key on her back looks like an 8.

I'd rather have Tomoko, personally. That sort of desperation would be appropriate at the end of the universe. Or Lain, as others have suggested.

>>774
Don't get why they migrated anything other than small boards anyway, everything is going to be updated no matter how fast you make the switch to next

>>747
So I guess we're Zanzibar land then right?

Guys I feel like I'm running in circles, I first posted on 4chan, then moved to 8chan, now I've moved to endchan. Is this the final stop where I can just chill and talk about vidya with some anon without worrying about some dumbass owner dictating?

>>707
>"Why won't Mark ban Tumblrtail and waifu threads and 4AM threads and webm threads and filename threads and general threads and <insert all of the rest of the things I don't like here> threads?"
While I agree with that in general, most of the things you've listed are cancer.
Undertale threads are fine as long as it's a single thread and it doesn't turn into a general.

I just went back to 8chan to check up on a few smaller boards as well as /v/, Mark is already trying to circlejerk about something irrelevant.
I'm glad I left.

1: Next is shit.
2: Mark is a faggot.
3: Mark supports censorship.

>>317
Just shilling my board and letting everyone know that I threw together some temporary themes for endchan, including Tomorrow.

>>>/theme/

(I say temporary because obviously more features will be added that will require me to update the CSS later.) More are on the way, feel free to contribute your own.

Ideally I shouldn't have had to worry about "migrations".

I mean the whole thing should have been something like "someone flips switch, now we're running on new tested software which has been silently mirroring posts in the background" not "gee we'll make a whole new system, migrate posts over in one huge clump, fuck it over a few times, then tell everyone 'fuck it just use the new site we're gonna turn the old site off whenever' while the new site keeps randomly erroring out".

How can 8ch admins be so incompetent? Holy shit!

>>824
jesus fuck no. For endchan I want the admins to be mostly handsoff, but for this shit I'll make an exception.
Either they nuke both at the first sign of board war shit, or they make a DESIGNATED ETHICS STREET BOARD, and disallow any other gg boards.

The /shithq/ vs /shitrevolt/ idiocy was one of the worst things to happen to 8chan, right behind the NFS lockup and Infinite-Never


>>806
Worse. The concept of "trust but verify" (which in itself is stupid, it should be "VERIFY FUCKING EVERYTHING") has basically been pissed on and forgotten by this point. They'll parrot whatever bullshit their e-celebs spout. Before you know it, you'll have niGGers going around telling everyone that endchan is a "botnet" or whatever the fuck Markymark thinks. It's a gamble really. If they do start spouting FUD about endchan, either it'll keep out normalfags because it'll be "le danknet", or it'll drive every potential user off, and then we'll be stuck on a dead chan.

>>872
and the sad thing is that people have warned them every step of the way, self included.

but since I wasn't an IRC bigshot or a flip hooker I was ignored.

>>76
sounds like a great way to get raided, like every oher alt v tbh

What would it matter if they have boards here?
It was really the BOs of /v/ and /gghq/ that caused all the problems.

They are in their current state, but that doesn't mean the premises are inherently bad.
Filename Threads and Webm threads got co-opted by Reddit. Waifu threads and 4AM threads were fine to begin with, but ended up becoming circlejerks because the same people started showing up, trip- or avatarfaging, allowing a single invidiual or a couple of individuals to descend the threads into shit, where the rest were very happy to wallow in it. E.g.: Jurifag. There's nothing wrong with general threads for games. The reason it got out of hand on half/v/ (before /vg/) was because EVERY thread was a general thread, and most of the general threads weren't vidya (8/v/ is to Undertale what 4/v/ was to ASSFAGGOTS and Starcraft). With the exception of Undertale, the general threads on 8/v/ keep it vidya, in my experience.
I forgot to mention drawthreads, but people hate them too for some reason. Lord knows why.
This also isn't getting into other topics that are vidya that people sperg out about. "Muh politics aren't vidya", "Gas all weebs, Japanese video games aren't video games", "VNs aren't vidya because I say so", et. al. You're allowed to have your opinion on such things, but using them as board policy is asinine.

The autism over console wars is well, well justified. Do you not remember how, by the time the exodus happened, most threads on /v/ were being derailed by NEVER EVER-spouting Sonyggers attacking everyone? You couldn't have a thread about any other platform without someone instigating about RDR, or Dragon's Dogma, or Demon's Souls, or the Pii U, or Iwata being shit, or Reggie being shit, or the menagerie of the rest of the canned responses that were tossed around. And then people took the bait, and the thread would derail, and would keep going until 200 replies and 120 image replies omitted, Press [Reply] to view. I'm not the only one who remembers that shit, right? How 8/v/ such a breath of fresh air after being in that cesspool for years? It took the better part of the first year on 8/v/ to unlearn the reflex to accuse anyone that liked Sony of being a Sonygger, but I eventually did it.
I can't really argue with the rest. I didn't think much of it, but yeah, he has been getting paranoid as of late. But I gotta take you to task on the Console War and Nintendrone thing, because even though the wounds are just scarring over, I'd understand Mark trying to keep that shit out.
I remember the thread in that ban image, but I don't know what the context is. Did he just ban the thread on the spot, no warning, or were there multiple threads with the same OP up at the same time? This is the sort of shit I'm sick of seeing, because without context, there's no way of judging it. It's just "Oh man Mark banned me what a kike remove Mark now" without explaining what happened leading up to it.

Well, here I am. 8ch is now impossible to load at all.
*sigh* it was good while it lasted. Too bad it got out of hand...

>>130
I have a few threads saved from back then, sadly I'll have to restore the CSS and I lack images. Stupid bug with browser saving made it save only HTML.

I agree with nearly everything you said except for your point about waifu threads. Those were never fine, they were always not vidya related and just used as a hugbox for a bunch of Weeaboos. The hotpockets go out of their way to protect those threads from people who know they aren't vidya related

>>899
>*sigh*
dear lord reddit followed us

>>893
The irony of it all

>>891
good lord cancer is already here

First of all weeb waifu threads ARE NOT VIDEO GAMES

Neither are 4am threads. Generals are not ok because

A)They are always casual gabage which lowers quality of discussion and reasons to come here

B) They fill the catalog

NO, politics are NOT video games and neither are fucking drawthreads

Drawthreads belong on drawing boards like /i/, not on /v/.

Seriously, fuck off you prick

>>911
Waifu threads are generally cancerous, I agree. And generals for games with an active online component (i.e. Monster Hunter) will always have constant threads up, which is a general in everything but name. I don't visit 4am threads so no opinion there. But drawthreads? Don't really see the big deal so long as the art is vidya related.
And I think the bigger picture to keep in mind is being a bit lenient on the banhammer. I understand your concern about not letting cancer fester here as it has on fullchan but going full nofunallowed is something that needs to be avoided.

>>911
I'd be a bit more lenient on Drawthreads and Generals but I agree that everything else is cancer. Everytime I've bothered to look at a 4am thread it's just a hugbox for autistic weebs like Markike.

>>916
Generals almost always devolve into circlejerks, I would rather not see them, but I just ignore them anyways.

I dont really care whats here as long as its related to videogames, most people like it, and it doesn't devolve into tons of general threads with that same guy whining about "OMFG not this thread again CAAANNNCEEERRR!!!".

>>911
You couldn't have proven my point better if you put effort into it. Bravo, you fat faggot.

They started out as less cancerous and explicitly vidya-only, and then became more lax, less vidya, more cancerous, and more of a circlejerk over time. At some point, the cancer started spreading and touching other threads. Again, case in point: Jurifag.

Having a massive spergout over it helps nobody.

>>918
>>913
These, effectively.

>>921
>and then became more lax, less vidya, more cancerous, and more of a circlejerk over time.
That's the issue. How do we stop them from becoming cancerous?

As we've seen with 4chan and 8ch we know what that generals are necessary for the health of the board.

In the example of 4chan, it was shown that the removal of generals from /v/ and making them stick in /vg/ somewhat 'destroyed' the board. Traffic plummeted and it turned in to /b/2.0 with marketers producing the majority of he content (i.e. making threads)

With 8ch, keeping generals in the main board not only kept the board healthier because you contained the redditors who kept the general in their browser favorites and visited only that thread, but it kept traffic high enough that people stayed on the site making giving 8ch the population it still has to this day despite the site being trash.

They're needed. I suggest we make an Undertale, Pokemon, and FNAF general just to get people to find this place whoever they do.

also
I'd like to note that 4chan and 8ch got popular because the moot and mark literally used their jewish connections to get SEOs to shill there. The marketing establishment doesn't give a single fuck about this place and that means most articles won't show up, meaning there won't be stimulation to talk here.

>>930
I agree with you in principle but
>FNAF
No fucking thank you. Don't mind undertale or pokemon threads but I don't think they need generals unless competitive battling and trading pokemon become big enough to warrant a general here. Generals should be allowed but if irregular threads suffice (i.e. Doom, STALKER, EYE) then there's no need.
And I don't know for sure if there was industry shills on 8/v/. The only things that come to mind are a few dedicated contrarian shitposters, that evolve shill, and the DD PC release (it looks like a great game but the dicksucking is out of hand). Wouldn't be surprised if there were, but I need some more solid proof.

>>930
>I suggest we make an Undertale, Pokemon, and FNAF general just to get people to find this place whoever they do.
>openly inviting reddit-tier autism to endchan
Because that worked out so well when Kike Wheels did that. I don't know why people are so obsessed with numbers. As long as there is a healthy amount of posts than it's fine, 8/v/ sure has a lot of posters, but what percent of that is redditors, shitposters or 4chan rejects?
>with marketers producing the majority of he content
Please don't tell me you believe in the "paid for marketing thread" boogeyman? Shills who do it for free exist, but no company is paying people money to shitpost on imageboards, especially not ones as obscure as endchan.

>>930
>>931
>>932
I think it's not the concept of generals, but it's the content of the generals that causes it to be cancerous.
Generals are fine, it's simply that if they take a turn for "waifus" and other such non-video game related topics like "how do you think X's vagina feels" that it becomes salvageable.

>>933
Unsalvageable, that is. Autocorrect

Thread with the most replies is a shitty meta thread about another site on the \v\ board.

>>932
I guess that's the biggest issue for us. We need enough users to not be dead but we also need to keep a high post quality. But how?

>>956
You can't really have both unless the hotpockets are good about deleting shitposts. Encouraging effort in posting is what is needed, which is something only the users can do. Thankfully, the vast majority of shitposters and other undesirables like the weebs and waifufags are still on 8 and 4chan.

>>956
Well look at your biggest sources for users:

>4chan
Bans any post speaking of other chans, nearly every user is fine where they are at.
>8ch
Varies on a board to board basis but most of the userbase are comfortable on the niche interest boards they are at now (having only an active /pol/ and /v/ would pigeonhole this site into masterchan syndrome of 1-2 super active boards while the rest become barren.)
>420chan
Dislike talking about any other chans unless looking down upon them, very happy where they are at.
>7chan
Ded due to the extreme lengths they went for "quality".
>Various small chans
Tight knit groups of users who like where they are at or abandoned.

It's the struggle every new spin off chan faces, hell 69chan was the newest one I witnessed this happen to, tried getting their name out, got a few people but many ignored it due to high quality control. Over time the few people there left to find more activity and the owner repealed his so called "cancer" rule but now it languishes as getting a few posts on /b/ while every other board is dead.

Alt chans don't last or get popular unless they offer a board or service no other has (420chan with /wooo/ and taima streaming), features others don't have, or a controversial event (7chan, 8ch, some of those ones that popped up when the Scientology shit was going on).

That's just my opinion on it.

>>952
here's your reply.

>>959
We could try getting /svidya/ to move over here. I'm sure they would prefer to not have to deal with Mark raiding them on 8chan.

>>958
>Encouraging effort in posting is what is needed

This, plus encouraging everyone to branch out beyond their home boards. This is something that I noticed on smaller boards just before the End Times: despite having high quality and comfiness, people were starting to wake up to how isolated they'd become. While endchan is young, we have to instill that in all users: cross-promote related boards; use the overboard to find stuff you wouldn't ordinarily have an interest in; and, above all, be excellent to one another.

>>965
>We could try getting /svidya/ to move over here.

I've seen enough lengthy posts to suspect that at least a few of us made the jump. I still think the majority of /bestvidya/ users will remain complacent, though.

>>979
I liked the idea of the 5 most popular boards not appearing in the overboard. This encourages people to check out the smaller boards, although this only will work when/if we get more users.

>>892
Generals promote repetition. Not allow it, not tolerate it - generals promote repetition. "Old thread is bumplocked and on page 2 - time for new thread!!!11 Let's post the same dumb, meaningless bullshit over and over just to keep the general afloat, bringing it closer and closer to death anyway!!111" It's like with undead: once a thread becomes a general, you put a stake through it and bury whatever remains.

Yeah just saw that myself. Pretty dumb, they're just asking to get spammed. Until Next really blows up people aren't going to fully give up on 8chan. I know I'm still posting there, along with here just waiting to see if/when Next fails to fully abandon 8fhan.

>>1105
I still use the 8chan /v/ one because it's populated almost entirely by people who actually play videogames and also hate attention whoring.
Like, look at what Mark thinks of the people who used that Mumble. It's a clear sign that they are the opposite of what Mark likes, so therefore they're fine people.
I say this as a user of it, so I am a bit biased.

>>1112

Drybones owns the server I believe. Mark simply used it, but he got so assmad that I was a regular user of it that he delisted it on the board and shills for a closed source data collection program known as Discord, in true kike fashion.

>>707
> why Mark is literally Satan
because he is a hotpocket who will outright lie and ban you without good reason if you say something he doesnt like. he also runs the board at his discreation, meaning he bans things he doesnt like (bad words about nintnendo or what have you) and keeps things that he personally likes (like fukcing 20 simultaious todd howard threads and webm threads, which havent been videogames for a long time, or at least when i left 8/v/, idk about now.), which essentially makes the entire purpose of leaving halfchan and meta treads pointless; it was just replacing one tyrant with another.

didi i mention the part where he will straight up lie about who you are and what you have done? because i dont know if that has ever happened to you before, but that kinda shit will make your blood boil like no other, especially when someone in a position of authority does it to disparage and discredit you.

>>1126
i should also say i cant speak for everyone, but i had defended mark in the past, and having someone you stood up for repay the favor by lying about you and attempting to discredit you will also make you quite mad.

>>1124
Ah, that's good to know. A friend recently switched to Discord cos his mumble server died on a hard drive, he told me to join him on there but as soon as I saw you had to give information and the fact that the company is called Hammer and Sickle I said fuck off.

>>1108
Oh my god Mark argues and deals with things just like a bitchy woman.

>>1244
>can't filter
You can easily filter even without native tools. Additionally, dollchan works with most imageboards and can be adapted easily. Then again, a simple developers console command is enough to filter.
>IDs are useful to prevent samefagging
That has never been the case. Either the person is too dumb to use auto-proxy tools (zenmate, proxymate, hola, etc. - zenmate and proxymate change your ip with a single click, hola without having to do anything) and it's very obvious from the post they're samefagging from their post anyway, or they're using such a tool and IDs don't help at all.

On the flipside, IDs cause circlejerking and filtering users who don't agree with the hivemind (pretty much any thread which centers around a single game has a shitton of very blatant such, just wait for a drawfag (or worse: a player with a high position within the community, like guild masters, max levels, top rankers, etc.) to post anything and the cocksucking won't stop until the thread is over for example.

The reason why chans were good is that it's not who says something that matters, it's the content of the post. When you have IDs, that's gone.

So this is my first time posting on endchan, Mark was getting on my nerves after he's been censoring /v/ in some 1984 bullshit. We got off cuckchan to get away from that bullshit and then it followed us there.

I got perma banned after I said I saged the R.O.B thread for tripfaggotry and nintendo shilling. Now I'm here, hopefully the kikery doesn't follow us again.

>>1248

On /v/ originally IDs were useful for continuing conversation with multiple anons at once but certainly never for stopping samefagging.

About the same time as the appearance of blatant console/platform wars thread (iirc E3 pushed this into overdrive) IDs started to be used incorrectly to disregard opinions if someone had posted too much or too little in one thread.

On a slower board like this IDs would be a major negative outright.

>>711
>>892

While I agree with the policy of preventing outright console wars threads it is true that Mark favoured Nintendo (and weebshit in general).

Remember how MGS was allowed a sticky for almost two weeks and unlimited duplicate threads just because he liked the game? What about Smash and Splatoon? For fucks sake he tried to run a 'game night' on Splatoon for the entire userbase despite it being 4v4.

I have nothing against a big name game getting a 1-2 day sticky to keep shit from flooding a board but only games he liked were given them (and FO4 during the salt party shit).

Marks favouritsm is objectionable but shouldn't be used to reject al of 8/v/'s rules out of hand. Some were there for a reason.

I have no idea how I survived without the ability to easily bold shit in posts.

On a perfect imageboard you won't need them. But in modern day Internet there are too many ebin troles who just read a bunch of articles on ED and are going to pretend to have unpopular opinions to le troll anons.
I'm not in favour of IDs, they just serve as a deterrent to the laziest, dumbest aspiring mastur baitors. Less tech-retarded fags of that variety are going to do that either way. In one case because it's le game and others are taking things too seriously on le imageboards. In the other just out of spite because IDs were introduced and they want to prove it was wrong by ruining everything to the rest.
But sure, let's have it this way for a change. Let's see how well it works.

The only legitimate argument against IDs for a chan with a small userbase is everyone will start recognizing each other sooner rather than later.


>>1368
>bestvidya
>>1369
You should have actually made a new board if there was such a drastic change of course. Considering how bad your "public image" was after everything (face it, it wasn't just mark and his cocksleeves spreading FUD), starting from a blank page would've been the wiser choice.

>>1389
>You should have actually made a new board if there was such a drastic change of course.
You mean like people making a new board not run by Mark, of which /svidya/ was the most successful? Do you have any idea how many alternative /v/'s there are now? I made /justvideogames/ at around the time /svidya/ got new management and both boards have very similar management. Salvaging has turned out to be a far more effective strategy than new board creation.

>>1393
And the other thing is that /svidya/ reformed to the board that most people interested in it envisioned it to be in the first place (where people just post about fucking video games). Reformation was able to take advantage of this already existing population of users.

>>1248
Although I must add that, since they are a necessary evil, I'd much rather see IDs hidden by default. This way anyone from the outside trying to disrupt a board won't realise why everyone is laughing at him and why no one is taking him seriously while not promoting even the lesser kind of inherent faggotry IDs bring. I.e. anons will only look for IDs if there is some kind of raid happening or something like that.

>>1393
>>1394
What I meant is the anons comprising userbase on /svidya/ at the time should have agreed on what is effectively just a name change.
But since it apparently worked well enough, hey, maybe your way was better.

>>1248
I agree, although I feel like there's some sort of middleground for IDs.
Like, if there should be some way to apply them only people who come off as shils. Maybe make it some sort of voting mechanism? Like if X amount of people report a post, and click a box that says "vote to give ID" or something, all of their posts in a thread will get an ID. I know it's possible for such a system to be abused, but the result of it being abused doesn't outweigh the benefit of limiting IDs.

>>1397
*shills

>>1393
if its any consolation, i still have /justvideogames/ bookmarked and i check it every week.

>>1389
they add nothing positive to the conversation, and they absolutely add a negative by giving sophists the tools needed to bring up things you said in the past, usually things that have little bearing on the conversation at hand, to play the ad homenim card or the fallacy fallacy, or any other number of dirty tricks to distract form the current discussion.

used to think thread IDs would be a good compromise between 7chan's no-privacy-at-all style of board IDs and full anonymity. The idea is that you would get the benefits of keeping track of discussion without compromising the benefits of anonymous discussion.

But I can't say I agree with that anymore. Thread IDs are detrimental to both the spirit and advantages of true anonymous discussion.
Take a long thread with a long-lived discussion for instance. With thread IDs, posters are less inclined to casually speak their mind early in the discussion, because what ends up happening is other posters will judge their later arguments based on something said previously, instead of evaluating those argument solely on their own merits. Wasn't that the focus of anonymity? To allow arguments to be judged alone, without the character of the person making them providing a distraction? However minor a character that thread IDs end up developing for a poster, it is enough in those threads to deter people from speaking their minds as freely as they would otherwise.

Thread IDs are an obstacle to truly free discussion and expression. What little gains they do provide (detecting samefags, astroturfing, undercover marketing), are both easily circumvented if one knows what they're doing, and are not worth the toll to discussion they ultimately end up taking. I have seen plenty of instances now of undercover marketing and astroturfing that were not prevented by thread IDs. It’s also important to note that board volunteers (on 8ch at least) can see both thread-specific IDs of posts and a unique hash representing a poster’s IP across threads. As long as volunteers are diligent at keeping an eye out for marketers, there's really no need for anonymous to have that information.

Meanwhile, thread IDs just give people an excuse to dismiss someone entirely when they say something they don't like by connecting everything said to their weakest post.

And then there's that
>(50)
bullshit as well.

>>1400
>if its any consolation, i still have /justvideogames/ bookmarked and i check it every week.
That's very kind but I don't know if there's anything to be done about the board anymore. If it starts getting more traffic I'll definitely do something with it, but I was utterly inept at getting the word out about it, and now that /svidya/ is bretty good I feel even less inclined to do anything with it. The two boards are nearly identical in rules.

this trumps any pro ID argument.

>>1405
i thought it was the same guy running both of them honestly. nothin wrong with havin a backup, m8.

>>1407
I think it would be a nice board to get everyone on /svidya/ to move to. To be honest, I think having a meme-y name like "svidya" is not good for the longevity prospects of a board. A name like "justvideogames" is crystal fucking clear in its intent on the other hand. I've been wondering if it's possible to have one board URL redirect to another board and/or just rename it to another one.

I heard this /v/ bans undertale threads.
Keep up the stellar work, gentleman.

>>1406
IDs actually help some threads though, such as
>threads that rely on rolls where you don't want a single guy spamming
>Fullderp threads(http://8ch.net/v/res/7745766.html) for reference
>Giveaway threads
So there should be a way to let us turn on IDs on a thread-per-thread basis, with the OP deciding.

>>1410
Svidya has the whole
>serious discussion only pls
Which is often used by mods to ban everything that isn't a 3 page essay about a game, which hurts the board.

>>1410
/svidya/ wasn't made as a replacement to /v/, but rather an alternative.
So it won't make do.
The hotpockets are even worse than /v/ too.

>>1415
I don't think Undertale posters would even want to come here since the discussion quality is high, and they like to wallow in their own shit.
>>1419
/svidya/ has fine hotpockets, it's impossible to be as bad as /v/ in terms of moderation.

>>1418
It had that with the previous administration. It hasn't anymore for around five months now.

This to be honest, make IDs optional.

>>1426
What's the point of posting this exactly?
I mean GG is complete trash now and they deserved to get infested with Reddit, but it doesn't contribute much aside from easy laughs.
Now if there were replies included, we could laugh at them try to call the poster a shill and rationalize how they didn't fail.

so what youre telling me is that you want some optional (anon to anon)way to identify someone in a specific thread in a specific circumstance? well have i got news for you! those crazy chinks thought up just the thing! its pretty new though so you might not have heard of it. its this thing called a "tripa-codaruu" putting it in quotes because that might not be the correct phrase, you know how those japs are with their ching chong nip nong.

The great thing about tripcodes is they don't come at the forced expense of everyone else you're discussing with.

Yes, if vols take it upon themselves to clean out the Augean stables all the time, I'm all for dropping the feature forever.

See, we're approaching this from the opposite directions. You look for ways someone with malicious intent can abuse the feature. I think about its possible uses for those with good intentions to make life easier for them. Everything can and will be abused, given enough time and enough users with a chip on their shoulder for whatever reason.

Perhaps I should stop posting about the issue as I've agreed to see how it works this time. I'm just discussing ideas now, not arguing to do things this or that way. But if it gives off the wrong kind of impression, I'll just drop it for now until we will be forced to have this conversation again.

You should have at least read my post, tripcodes wouldn't help any of the examples I mentioned.

>>1445
tripcodes would work for all cases except for faggots spamming, and in that case you report for samefagging or spamming.
dont know what you mean by fullderp, as the thread 404d.

>>1440
>ITT; pessimisim v optimisim.i doubt we'll change each others minds, but it can be of use to speak our minds for the edification of lurkers.
Likely. All of the arguments you guys are listing are known to me and I still believe the good from IDs when used by good-intentioned anons outweighs the bad when used by ill-intentioned anons.
But since I appear to be among the minority, if there are no overwhelming evidence in favour of one or another, you should get it your way.

Again, perhaps they shouldn't be shown by default. Maybe even go a step further: the option to show IDs in the site options will actually change GET's by adding a parameter to them so that the page will be generated with IDs for that request. Although that does increase the load on the servers (and the DB), so it's probably a bad idea.

>>1350
I didn't like him so much as I just didn't have a problem with him unless you consider that blowing him.

Just trying here out since it seems like the new thing if next does fail/many people hate it and go somewhere else.

>>1417
That's true, and even whole boards can benefit a lot from IDs. When a topic can include opinion, though, IDs are always a massive detriment.

I think a good compromise would be to let users decide to display their IDs on their own. This way, for giveaways and the like, people could refuse to give stuff to people not showing their ID (so it's possible to track who's got what) while nobody is forced to submit to identity tracking. It would be like a kind of reverse tripcode (tripcodes can be changed anytime, IDs are fix; tripcodes are stable across threads, IDs are not). I don't like the idea of letting the OP decide, though, as it can create mayhem within a community and divide threads between "game+ID" and "game-ID" threads for the same game. You can't even fairly delete either of these, either.

Of course, you're still vulnerable to proxies, though.

>>1439
>See, we're approaching this from the opposite directions. You look for ways someone with malicious intent can abuse the feature.
It's really not "someone with malicious intent", and that's the issue. It's someone with reddit mentality (encouraged strongly by the very existence of IDs) with good intentions. It's also not abuse of the feature, it's pretty much the whole point of the feature (linking all posts by one person together).
>I don't like this post!
>let's see what this faggot posted before...
>I don't like these posts either, it must be a shitposter!
It doesn't help against samefagging as explained before. If you spent any length of time on 8/v/ you'd also see that samefag accusations don't care about different IDs (and for good reasons) so that doesn't help even for peace of mind against samefagging.

Even assuming it's a different point of view, it wouldn't matter at all because we already have a working example of an ID-less /v/ and another, working example of an ID-full /v/. All the problems stated with IDs are omnipresent on 8/v/ and there hasn't been, beyond the first month or so, any instance where IDs have been shown to present the advantage they're touted to have. On the other hand, there is no evidence that 4/v/ had the problems IDs were said to solve (either shitposting samefags were obvious, or discussion was happening; mods would confirm someone is samefagging in a thread from time to time for additional fun) and it didn't have the problems IDs present which 8/v/ show are a real problem.

There is objectively no advantage to IDs. On the other hand, they destroy the focus on post content as opposed to who made the post.

>>1493
>It's also not abuse of the feature, it's pretty much the whole point of the feature (linking all posts by one person together).
The point of the feature is more specific: link all posts by one person who is trying to get in the way of others communicating. The distinction is important.

>Even assuming it's a different point of view, it wouldn't matter at all because we already have a working example of an ID-less /v/ and another, working example of an ID-full /v/.
This the only other weak point, just one board of either kind isn't very representative.

But you've convinced having IDs shown by default and/or readily accessible is definitely a no-go. Having them as an option that is not shoved in a new user's face might still be the lesser of two evils, but now I'm not so certain about it either.

>>1449
>threads that rely on rolls where you don't want a single guy spamming
Wouldn't help.
>Fullderp threads
You assemble a team of pokemons for play.One suggestion per person and only the person who claimed the "Champ" first is the one that plays.Wouldn't work with tripcodes unless every single person on the thread created one
>Giveaway threads
No way to keep track of a poster, so any condition for a giveaway(IE:Get X, Answer Y, etc etc) becomes worthless.

>>762
8chan's waifu is Nano you fag.

>>1363
Halfchan /v/ is far worse then Mark/v/. At least on Mark/v/ you can have a nice thread outside meta/general threads, there is nothing redeemable on normalfag/v/ or the entirety of 4chan for that matter. Even if Jim and HW fucked everything up at least they don't datamine their imageboard like Hiroyuki currently does with 4chan.

>>1526
I see you haven't been to mark's /v/ in a long time!

>>1527
I have actually, and you're factually wrong.
Even though 8/v/'s quality has gone down the shitter, it still hasn't even reached the cesspit that was 4/v/ in september 2014, much less the normalfag chan that it is today.
Your hate of Mark/8ch is clearly clouding your judgement here.

>>1527
Nah I made threads today and if you ignore generals and meta threads /v/ thread quality is perfectly fine unless Mark comes and shits it up. There have been more halfchan shills lately, but at least users on cripplechan aren't fucking idiots like halfchan are and actually report and prohibit consolewar autism.

>>1532
That's debatable, 8chan has different types of cancer. You get tons of off topic threads still, like waifu, webm, LOL, 'totally not waifu' semen demon threads, and other assorted trash.
Even if you make a good thread, people will come and shit it up with off topic garbage, especially if there's so much as a single attractive or cute girl in the game, as that will draw in the waifufags and their autism.

>>1546
Damn anon, you put a lot of effort in.
I didn't even realize how bad it was, I only went back there for the SS13 thread and to troll Mark some more.
I'm not the guy you are quoting.

>>1541
I also find that threads on 8/v/ show much more homogenized opinions overall, but even worse: for the most part, the same kind of posts are repeated thread after thread, even outside generals. Thread variety also suffers a lot. For example, the catalog at any point in time on 8/v/, beside generals, could be "game1 thread" "game2 thread" "genre1 thread", etc. Meanwhile on 4chan, you get "weapons in vidya" "what's your favorite setting?" "game1 thread" "genre1 thread" ">that annoying part in [favorite game here], thread", etc.

>>1549
That's a sort of offshoot of the 'OC Drought' problem that I knew 8chan was going to have. Nobody does anything original, no OC is made, no community servers, etc.
I made a few servers for 8chan /v/ but Mark fucking hates my guts so he never listed them, and they all ended up dying because of this. Drawfags who produce high quality OC also either stayed on 4chan or stopped posting on 8chan because they would get harassed non-stop by weeaboos and waifufags who would just got 'draw muh waifu' or 'draw this anime character'.
I know of one person who still draws good OC on 8chan, and that's about it.

>>1547
> "game1 thread" "game2 thread" "genre1 thread",
and why would this be bad? besides, i have no idea what youre talking about; mark/v/ still has ironic fallout 4 shilling, "what games let me x" not videogames threads and greentext abstract game tropes threads.

>>1551
Our site mascot is the Omega Knight I thought. Or grey anon.

Those threads aren't good but they also aren't bad, they just tend to rarely have any quality discussion.

>>1553
>what games let me X

I'm glad someone else is peeved by those things.

If you dont know what fucking games you want to play then clearly you arent into the hobby enough to discuss it meaningfully

>>1529
>the cesspit that was 4/v/ in september 2014
It absolutely fucking has. This collective amnesia/revisionist history has got to stop. Halfchan /v/ actually got significantly better for the better part of a year after the mods finally started cracking down on all the fucking /b/ shit and dubs cancer somewhere around the end of 2013. The fact that they censored GG (legitimate, on-topic video game discussion) is why people rightfully left, but people need to stop denying things about 4chan in an effort to oppose anything and everything about it. Mark continued moot's original policy of /b/2.0 and 8/v/ discussion has been notably worse since January or so when the /b/ sliding got kicked into high gear.

>>1541
Don't forget the fucking dubs sliders who constantly try to kill threads when they come across a disagreeable opinion.

I still think the removal of the 8ch archive was an inside job so Cripple and Kike can do whatever they pleased while making it impossible to provide proof

>>1558
>If you dont know what fucking games you want to play then clearly you arent into the hobby enough to discuss it meaningfully
i aint got no problems with recommendations, but 99% of the time that phrase is used its a thinly veild way to talk about not videogames shit, ie "what games let me shoot niggers" accompanied by a picture of [insert latest nigger kill to get the media all hyped up here] or "what games let me gas jews"
its just shitposting, plain and simple.

>>1553
They're not bad, and they're a hell of a lot better than webm threads or consolewar threads, it's just that there is no variety in the kind of threads made, which leads to little quality discussion happening. For example, the first few marche threads were fantastic, but that's not the kind of thread you'd ever find on 8/v/. I'd also like to see those threads where the OP draws situations and gives posters the option to choose the next action, or threads focused on greater topics of game design or mechanics; the point is that there's really not much to say in any 8/v/ thread, nor anything particularly interesting to read, in the greatest majority of cases. That's all I'm saying.

>>1558
To be fair, there are many very specific, interesting patterns that are impossible to search for and are usually not described in a game's synopsis. For instance, what are some games where you can be the final boss beside overlord, dungeon keeper and evil genius? And that's a pretty generic request, too.

On the other hand, they're shitty threads because they're too specific, do not encourage any kind of discussion, and do not provide any value in and of themselves (as a post about some vidya news would).

I guess that I got the news late but holy shit, infinity next is really a wash.

8chan is going to sink

>>1567
That makes no sense because even a monkey can print screen posts or archive threads individually.
