If you like this board I highly recommend visiting tg for all sorts of traditional gaming pleasure, quests for the best quests on any *chan, storytiem for 3lewd5me sexual adventures. There is also twgrl for the Towergirls CYOA alone. Also, apparently there is builders. I dunno, seems cool.

In the process of moving to /fg/.

Like everything on 4chan the jump chain thread is now utter shit, it was my only remaining connection to that site but the quality has become so shit that I can't stand it anymore. Ive made jumps myself. I really try, a friend and I have been producing them for a while now. We started to make a DM44 jump but then that completely shit one got uploaded. It highlights how fucked this first come first serve thing is and if you so much as raise the topic of replacing a rushed, poorly written, poorly researched, vague jump with a better one everyone rushes to white knight for it. They try to claim that the loss of stability from replacing shit jumps nobody uses with better ones would discourage new ones from being made while ignoring that the bullshit first come system is already discouraging new better ones from being made. They shoot themselves in the foot and claim the bandage you're trying to offer them would be the real problem.

So if a new, splinter drive were to be created to house replacement jumps and act as a supplement to the existing one, would anyone be interested? Would anyone participate? I enjoy jumpchain, it's a fun game for me, and it's enjoyable to swap stories with a friend. But no system grows in stagnation and boy is that old system stagnant.

I propose a system where quality comes before feefees, where if someone is being a faggot you can call them out on it and know people will support you, where if you make something you consider to be genuinely better you can submit it to your fellows and know it will be taken into consideration without being immediately shot down.

I started this thread on /tg/ but the board is so slow and it's users so insistent on posting nothing but >/cyoa/ and further fracturing such a slow board that I'm branching out.

Read this, I explain in greater detail. and it's not like you'd have much to sift through, that board is abysmally empty.

This board is even emptier, my main monkey. Though all activity is good.

/tg/ can be so autismal with the 'stop liking what I don't like sentiment'

Or maybe I'm not giving them enough credit and it's just one faggot and poor moderation

I see you've removed your thread from >>>/qu/

My guess is that you either considered the board as too dead or realised that CYOAs are not Quests. That is true, CYOA is about separate people sharing their choices with others and perhaps turning them into separate stories. Quest is about everyone involved creating a single story together, mostly by the means of roleplay.

But that said, CYOAs are closely related to Quests, as they often make great Quest premises, and turning a CYOA into a Quest is easy and has been done frequently. We've had those too, and should you like to try running it Quest-style, >>>/quests/ is definitely a place for you.

As for the *cough* deadness, we're trying to do something about it atm but can't promise anything. The board died completely several times and it has been reanimated several times more. It has seen its share of drama, complaints, "dead board" shitposting, but also some really nice Quests inbetween. For a moment it really felt like a community, it even had a Wiki and a Skype circlejerk (the latter is scheduled to reform if we make it somehow)

We're attempting to move it once again, for the n-th times because why not. Also nostalgia, I guess. We've made a new board in last attempt to start over from scratch. If you feel like providing content, be it CYOA's adaptation, crude MS Paint Quest or anything, we'd be grateful because right now we have virtually no content at all.

Also, I feel sorry for you for fa/tg/uys throwing shit at you down there, but that's how imageboards work. There have been some negative feelings about Quests carried over from 4/tg/, and seems it has affected CYOAs as well. 8/tg/'s "Quests are cancer" attitude didn't do well for our own board either. Good luck to you anyway.

And hey Tufty, good to see your place is still holding it together somehow, compared to us at least. /qu/ virtually had no moderation for about a year, until all three of us started feeling nostalgic recently and current BO decided to start off a new board, leaving the old surviving staff. Starting this over for the n-th time feels like a joke at this point, but hell, why not? If it falls to oblivion again we could at least manage to run several more Quests along the way.

What can I say, it's a low maintenance board. Also, good to hear you are still alive, old bean.
