No.2547 [View All]
Hello everyone. I recently claimed the board and a couple of anons were interested in having a meta thread, so here it is.
Please use it to suggest and discuss changes to the board (such as changes in banners and other special images, board features, or rules), to (eventually) discuss moderation, or any other topic concerning the board.
If you're curious about me, I was on /sthg/ from its creation in 2014 until a few months ago, and now I'm here every day contemplating the fast. I've always been low profile so I've never used a name, and I plan to keep it like that.
Please enjoy the board and let me know if there's anything I can do for you guys.

How'd you guess? It's unfortunate that the 4chan-→8chan userbase has become as broken as pic related at this point.

Still not as broken as pic related.
I'm probably moving to 8moe full-time after this post. I only came back here because I was waiting for the BO to allow images but it hasn't happened yet.
Can probably shill 8moe/fast/ on /v/ whenever BO wants to open it up. We could probably rebuild the most active threads within a couple weeks.
I'll see you guys on the other side, but I'm up, over, and gone.

Shame. I don't understand the need to take a stance like that when everything is still up in the air and this place is cozy and is working fine, but suit yourself. I've disabled images on the bunkers to make hotpocketing them easier, since there are 3 places I need to keep an eye on, but I don't mind turning them on over there if that's what you want.

So basically, the only rule 34 allowed must have been drawn at least 18 years ago? I could draw a picture of old people banging right now. It's a cartoon, so the characters are only as old as the drawing. Sonic Advance 2 will be 18 this December. Will Cream be okay then? Gerald only turned 18 last year.
I realize this is a board for Sonic autism, and I should expect literal retards to be posting here, but cartoons aren't real. I didn't expect Chris Chan to be internet savvy enough to find this site, and spread his knowledge of Toon World and the Dimensional Merge to anons over here.

The .cc domain isn't set to resolve to the site yet. I imagine the logic of that is that since the domain isn't actually going anywhere it's impossible to report it and get it seized, but it's still a valid domain that people can keep bookmarked. Then if someone manages to get the other domains seized the .cc one could be quickly set up and if everyone had it bookmarked then they would be able to easily find their way back to the site and the disruption would be minimal.

This but again, the 12 year old thing just came from a kids site, most of the sonic characters act like and look like adults, i've never seen them as underage teens when i was young, just don't jerk off to kid characters like tails, cream and marine (unless she older with big tits), how hard is it for you pornfags to understand

Over the past week or two a lot has happened in the imageboard scene:
>Julay completed their board culling leaving only a handful of boards standing, which means our bunker there is history
>8chan completed their software migration, causing some downtime yesterday
>8kun has kept shitting the bed and images have been completely broken for most of the past weeks while the site can be difficult to reach sometimes
>8chan has also been affected by something similar lately and experiences occasional downtime
Although 8chan is also having some intermittent issues at the moment, this place is barely functional most of the time and doesn't look like it's ever going to get better. On the other hand 8chan has good support and seems it's going to get better, although so far it's missing some features.
Taking all this into account I wanted to ask what's your opinion on migrating the board there. They can import all our posts to their site so that we don't lose anything. I'm tired of coping with this site being forever broken and they have been up and stable for a few months at this point.

Hey there, I'm fairly new to this board and so I have a few questions:
Why does this place exist? IIRC, the Exodus from 4Chan to 8Chan was originally because moot was complicit in (if not outright responsible for) the banning of discussion about GamerGate. From this then, it makes sense that the GamerGaters moved to 8Chan but the question is: why did you /sthg/ posters move? Judging by my brief glimpse of the threads, you guys don't seem to concerned about Videogame Journalism so it makes no sense.
I think there's an aspect to the Exodus that I'm forgetting. Was there perhaps a second Exodus due to the fact that moot had sold 4Chan to Hiroyuki, a man that was known for harvesting the content of people's posts and selling the information to advertisers? Is that perhaps why this /sthg/ exists?
A constant thought I have is that the exodus of the /sthg/ posters occurred due to a desire for quality but the problem with this is that such an exodus could have occurred at any time. There was no need to do this whilst the GamerGaters did so.
Also, what are your thoughts of posting on 4Chan's /sthg/ right now? What do you think of it?

No.22675
>>22674
>Why does this place exist?
The issue with 4chan was much bigger than GamerGate and the exodus was a manifestation of several problems with 4chan, such as free speech and moderation. Additionally there were other issues such as low quality posting and as a result of all this, several communities moved in the exodus and not just /v/. This place exists because a group of /sthg/ anons wanted to move too and created it.
>why did you /sthg/ posters move?
I think most people came here looking for a place with better post quality and moderation than 4chan. Keep in mind that despite the association between 8chan and GamerGate, there wasn't any other imageboard where you could freely create boards, so it was the only site to go to.
>A constant thought I have is that the exodus of the /sthg/ posters occurred due to a desire for quality but the problem with this is that such an exodus could have occurred at any time. There was no need to do this whilst the GamerGaters did so.
Yes, that's actually what happened. Even though /fast/ was created in the exodus (2014), it wasn't until around 2017 that it started to pick up, as the quality in 4/sthg/ tanked.
>Also, what are your thoughts of posting on 4Chan's /sthg/ right now? What do you think of it?
I haven't been there in years so I can't comment much. Judging by everything else I see and hear about 4chan, it's probably awful, just like it was when I left. Most of the time you can tell when a post was made by a 4chan user which is why people around alternative imageboards tend to be hostile to them.
Anyway, welcome if you decide to stay. Keep in mind this is our bunker right now and if you want to find other anons you should get to the main board, see >>22642.

Oh, I see. I got a response the very day I posted my questions. This place seemed dead but I guess I'll check more often now.
>such as free speech and moderation
Other than the suppression of Gamergate discussion, what other offenses were there against free speech?
Also, what were the typical issues the bad moderation caused? I've always been a hobbyless lurker so I didn't mind whatever was going on since I never sought to contribute anything. As long as people are discussing something of interest, then I'll just lurk although I do seek to change this now. My realisation is that a lurker is really just another kind of consumer, the lurker just consumes imageboard discussion rather than media (I literally preferred watching people discuss games to actually playing them) and so, seeking to reform my life, I must rid myself of my consumerist ways and engage in creative hobbies where I make things. I think I'll be making Sonic fanart someday and even Sonic comics although I do want to have at least an amateur understanding of literature first before I start any serious attempt at a story.

It's a bunker. People should only come here if there are troubles with the rest of the alternatives.
>what other offenses were there against free speech?
The point was that if mods start censoring shit because they feel like it, people are going to leave even if they have nothing to do with what was censored, which is what ended up happening.
>what were the typical issues the bad moderation caused?
Moderation was terrible, kek. Porn threads would stay up on /v/ and SFW boards but controversial topics like GamerGate that would make friends of the admins nervous would get deleted instantly, shitposting was allowed to run rampant and there was no filter at all on post quality despite it being named in the rules as something key to board health. Same thing with avatarfags, namefags, and tripfags. I've personally been warned because of filing "misclassified reports" on posts that were clearly shitposts. It's no wonder that over time 4chan has turned into a place where you get banned for simply calling people niggers or faggots.

Hello.
Whilst I have already posted here very few times before, I'm still fairly new to this lair. I see there's effort to make this a good, calm place (or at least, that's what I heard), and I can't be happy enough to hear that, as 4chan and its respective boards for discussing Sonic are, as hurting as it may be to admit, beyond of any saving grace and filled with too many hotheads and biased people that cannot hold an ounce of empathy and consideration for others' beliefs and such.
I would like to start visiting and lurking here, but before I do, I just wonder about something, that while very obvious to answer and silly to even ask at first, it's deeply important enough as it assures if this is really a tolerating, better place: is Archie Sonic and its relative content allowed here? Are all Sonic interpretations, with no exception, free to be discussed here? And how frequent are people here to take issue when the comic or other interpretations are mentioned?
I ask, as I would like to talk about Sonic here, but I'm an Archie Sonic fan at the heart. While so, I still love and appreciate all of the Sonic franchise, and despite not enjoying IDW at all, I do not at all condemn theses who do, nor would I at all, as that's just outright ill-intentional, ruining the place's tranquility and breaking the respect and peace of one to another. No, really, I'm an emotional type, and even I don't see why must people get so up in the arms over such trivial things, and why we cannot laid out a smooth debate that ensures everyone is respected and considered.
Once again, I'm sorry for making what may appear to be an obvious question, but I have experienced too much irrational anger and incoherent fighting from 4chan over trying to spark some comprehensible discussion for media like the comic and SatAM (but not limited to, course), and I wish to hear a firm and clear answer, merely to be completely sure and out of doubts.
Thanks to theses who are reading.
