Wow, I certainly have put off posting on this thread for a long time, haven't I? That was quite careless in my part, but I assure you I have not neglected my other duties (what little there are).

Thank you for the opportunity, but I choose not to officially advertise any board, and the announcement board here is used exclusively for announcements. Here is a thread you might want to use to point out your board and why people should go there: https://8ch.net/32/res/1703.html
>>2427
I have a generally positive view of chans and certain aspects of the culture associated with them.
>>2466
That is a problem, and there are others associated with anonymity, but I believe that in this situation the benefits greatly outweigh the problems.

On other news, I just changed the board tags "science" and "research" to "mind" and "culture". I think those are more appropriate.
I was also thinking that we could have a custom poster name instead of "Anonymous", like /k/ has "Strelok". No reason other than it would be something else to set us apart, like the custom CSS. Thoughts on this? Suggestions for the name?

Since the people who visit the board at first tend to think the posters are tinfoil hats and the very nature of the board, I suggest the term "Tin man".

Stringphobic?

Anonymity, freedom of speech and form. It is likely that I associate the good times I have on the chans with the structures of the chans themselves, thus having a favorable view of them. Nonetheless, I think what allows me to have said good times is the way they are set up.
>>2532
Because there is no other board with a focus on these topics, and it's hard to have a slow, thought-out discussion on the more general boards.
So why not use /32/, you know?

The new banner depressed the shit out of me.
I am wiling to post to my hearts content to revive this one great board but my efforts would be fruitless without its original inhabitants.
Reading the stylometry of recent post it seems /pol/troons have decided to keep things 'afloat' here. Any originals still lurking?

Apology accepted
> Though vague, post #2763 can be argued to fall within the "general topic of communication theory", and thus its deletion was not justified.
Part of Lojban's purpose is to "[be] an experiment in thought, ... : its users aim to see how its unique language structures affect thought and understanding.”.
Which very clearly falls under the topic of this board.
> As such, we come to a second problem. According to Section II, Article 2, Paragraph 2 of the Constitution, one fo the staff's duties is: To collect evidence and provide justification for all official actions taken by them. I have done this by screencapping every deleted post that wasn't by me since the posting of the first constitution. >I have recently had computer problems, and have lost some data, including the caps of all posts deleted in 2016. While this in itself is not a problem, I do know that I in fact DID NOT screencap post #2763, as that deletion occurred after the loss of data and I do not have such an image. I can attest that the contents of post #2763 were as mentioned by post #2776.
I suggest using https://archive.is/ or the Way back Machine and also '1-second bans' to explain the reasoning.

'lojban' could be the ugliest language ever designed. If speaking in 'oo doo do ma bab do' speak is meant to 'affect thought and understanding in an interesting way', it's likely because it's degenerative and weird, and that anyone speaking it would seem in most ways like a carnival act. Why do you think it's interesting?

Unless you're talking before 2014, most of the threads are still on the catalogue and aren't comparatively better than recent threads; which aren't bad(?).
>Its pretty dead now.
On the other hand /pol/ is more alive than ever with all its discussion and media relevance. No wait, it died ages ago and became the hulk zombie of some necromancers.
This place might look dead, but it doesn't feel dead to me. There doesn't need to be a huge cycling of discussion to get the gist of things, but if you think there does then you can ask questions. The drying-up of discussion is more tolerable than the spoiling that could've happened.

Some one should really do a rundown on Gamergate and why it's important. This guy on 420chan explained it to me really well and nailed it, I wish i would have payed more attention and saved his post.
Basically it became obvious that all the media were working together to cover up the truth. The play-by-play was extremely convincing and he had good references. I'll throw out a line to that guy and see if he's still around.

Does anyone have a copy of the 'what to do' thread currently on page 3? The thread appears to have 404'ed.
Also, whats the policy on 'necrobumping'? I have things to say on a few threads long dead. Nothing overly valuable, i guess, but this is a community right?

Please analyze this feeling for me, my dudes:
*I'm nostalgic about old internet forum discussions and IRC channels (including even early iterations of imageboards, even early 4chan), because the average person you interacted with back then was simply smarter than one you would today, by a very long shot. There is just something about that self-selection that completely filters all the vapid retards you have to interact with on a daily basis in real life, and it was a great substitute for the sort of "male group dynamics" that brotherhoods, academic circles and secret-societies used to provide (and still do).
*I still lurk many of the "popular" discussion forums (mainly hackernews, some stackoverflow sites, some okay subreddits, a tiny bit of 4chan+8ch), and I don't contribute to the "small smart people communities" like this one that I am ideologically biased towards, and I have no patience for it.
Have I been so overly-saturated by the easy+convenient+accessible information stream that I don't have patience for these slower boards anymore? Am I part of the problem? Should I feel bad about thhis?
