/fur/ - Furry★

>>28906 (OP)

Well, yiff.party opening up to non-furry stuff will get us more traffic at least. I think expanding on our mascots in wide-appeal media has been working as well. There was one thread about advertising IRL, but it never went anywhere.

>>28910

Dont see that helping. Bui made it an automatic submission process so theres no reason to come back to the board thread to request any changes.

Do you really think antifurry faggots would use the board for furries?

>>28906 (OP)

Probably projects/collaborations like CYOA, games, or animations. Everyone loves creative stuff regardless of the quality because there's not a lot of furry stuff out there.

A drastic option would be a ban on politics since it's divisive, but I don't think it's too divisive enough to force users to leave. I try to hide them if I can since I become too much of an asshole to people whenever I argue.

>>28918

One artfag in the art thread was working on art for a game that splintered off from the failed /fur/ game, they haven't made a thread yet though.

>>28919

Nah, it didn't really fail, it just wasn't bumped so the thread is gone. We're still working on it.

>>28918

having creative threads does nothing if the only people who see it are people that are already here.

I don't know if the whitelist is actually active so I never post

>>28906 (OP)

We should start a choose your own adventure style comic, where posters get to decide what happens next. We already have a main character.

>>28924

But anon youre posting right now

>>28921

Proof that discord kills boards

>>28921

>>28927

actually it seems to have stopped development, havent heard anything new about it in at least a week.

>>28925

Preferably with a more dedicated artist than N8Quest.

>>28925

having creative threads does nothing if the only people who see it are people that are already here.

>>28925

whos the main character?

>>28929

There doesn't need to just be one artist, any drawfag can continue where the last one left off.

>>28922

>>28930

Nothing stopping us from linking it offsite. Either by doing fanart and posting on our FA, posting games on itch,io, or posting animations on YT/tumblr/twitter.

>>28928

You're in for a surprise.

>>28933

cyoa shit scribbles would literally get 10 views on e621, good luck with your great marketing campaign.

pay for an ad on FA.

>>28933

We have an FA? I think e621 is nest because anyone can upload under our tag.

>>28933

>/fur/ itch,io

>/fur/ animations on YT

we have neither. the best we can do right now is probably get some artfags to stream some /fur/ stuff.

>>28936

not for long I hope >>28933

>>28936

artists that aren't already popular get literally zero views in their picarto streams. good luck with your great marketing campaign again

guys let's start a patreon!

>>28940

What sort of content does /fur/ create?

>>28941

/s

also why are you all assuming that artists are going to be your messiah? are you unaware of how dead the existing art threads are? the draw thread is just one guy posting wips right now.

stop being dependent on them.

pay for an ad, it's the only guaranteed way.

>>28943

There's a good reason why imageboards are called imageboards. 4chan was created under the foundation of talking and sharing artwork.

>>28944

yeah, well, i see twelve guys saying "the artists will save us" and no artists, so good luck you stupid retard. people have been saying creative threads will save us since literally day one. and guess what? the last cyoa thread had like three posters. cause no one cares about unfunny kindergarten humor.

>>28943

>imageboard

>>28946

>non-existent artists

>>28945

n8 CYOA thread had way more than 3 posters. you are honestly a retard. the reason it died is because the OP became a lazy fuck and stopped the adventure.

>>28945

They're saying that people like seeing creative visual content. Nothing untrue since /v/ likes talking about videogames and /tv/ likes talking about film, which are both creative mediums.

You should know this yourself and you've created board dedicated to a Korean cartoon show.

>>28943

Yes ads are probably the best way but is good that we try to find all possible ways to increase the board popularity.

4chan didn't used ads at all and now they're known by everyone and have millions of visitors.

>>28950

that's because they were a pioneer and a monopoly, not because they had artists posting shit scribbles on e621 that gets 10 views and no favorites.

>>28948

go ahead and have your non-existent artists make another one then since the last one brought in sooo much traffic that you still talk about it two years later

>>28950

4chan is known for being a hacker. We're known for hosting CP.

>>28951

>OP asks how can we get more traffic

>LISTEN TO ME ME ME ALL YOUR IDEAS ARE SHIT FUCK YOUUUUUUU

Kill yourself my man.

>>28950

4chan was(is?) the creative hub for internet memes.

People slowly crawled their way back up from facebook to 9gag to everything else up to 4chan and then everyone and their mother went to it so they could experience first hand the meme culture and brag about having an hand in it, even though they were just watching from the sidelines. That's why it went to shit. Also anoneemoose. Same thing, different people wanting to be part of le eric hacker gruppe.

>>28953

i told you three times how to get more traffic. have the normies pay for ads.

your shit scribbles will do nothing. your shit scribbles will get no views on e621. your shit scribbles will get no views on streaming sites. your shit scribbles will be seen by no one but the people already here. your shit scribbles won't get made because there are no artists here, you are talking about dependency on people who do not exist.

>>28951

>that's because they were a pioneer and a monopoly

They're a 2chan rip off you know.

>>28957

i do know. and 2chan disallows posting from outside of japan, therefore a western version is a pioneer and monopoly.

o wise one

>>28952

Ron cracked down on it in 2015-2016 when Hotwheels left, but I see your point.

>>28953

Well, it is Salos. He has a vendetta against artists and left this board because he got triggered over mods posting image macros. He's an self-unaware idiot who thinks that he's better than everyone.

You can go see his autistic outburst here: >>20952

>>28953

That's not OP, that's eeriefag. >>28915

>>28959

can't have a vendetta against people who don't exist anymore

>>28961

Thanks for describing the impact you've made in every single area you've resided in, Salos. Absolutely nothing.

>>28960

I know. my point was eeriefaggot is trying to act like the only option is his.

>>28962

are you saying i singlehandedly made the artists leave? i'm flattered but i hardly talked to those retards.

>>28963

all of the alternative suggestions have been volunteering artists who A. didn't volunteer themselves and B. don't exist

>>28963

Well, look his taken options and see how it ended up for him? If you look at his board, then you'll realize that the only user talking to himself. He's not the person that you shoud listen with regards to community building, lmao.

>>28964

>are you saying i singlehandedly made the artists leave? i'

You didn't, that's why never made an impact. You're a failure in everything you do, and it's reflected in your garbage writing.

>>28964

>these artists dont exist because they dont want to draw a korean show for toddlers the way ONLY I WANT

smug.png

>>28967

they won't draw anything at all because they aren't here. draw threads get 400 posts and 3 deliveries

>>28968

>he just keeps repeating the same line

why dont you go play with the guy in /sudo/ screaming about replacing board moderation.

>>28966

Truth.

did eeriefaggot ever try his ad scheme for his board? or is shilling it where he isnt wanted on 8ch the best marketing he can do.

>>28968

>implying that the drawthread is the only art thread available.

I feel bad that your boyfriend has to reside with an obtuse moron like you.

>>28969

>he just keeps repeating the same line about how artists are going to revive this community

why isn't there already heavy traffic if we have so many drawfags and so many posts on e621 already

we've had cyoa threads, we've had game dev threads, we have a lit thread, we have a draw thread and an art thread and 3d modelers

and yet no posters

why haven't the artists saved us already if they've been here all along and creative threads bring soooo much traffic

buy an ad and stop being in denial

wtf my post didn't go through

>>28970

He tried shilling, but he autistically screeched at other eerie fans for "not understanding the character". He went so far as to call their art shit on their pages for it supposedly being off-model.

>>28975

Please lets stop talking about people and focus in the thread topic

>>28974

Asaneman may be a vorefag but hes a vorefriend to the board. No eeirefaggot marketing necessary

>>28977

and just look how much it helped, enough that this thread was still created 4 days later

>>28978

Helped more than your advice, considering that they aren't talking to themselves and having a vendetta against artists.

>>28979

what?

>>28978

Well this week this board was steadily above 100 active users for the entire week, this place used to struggle to reach 80 users after the spam that killed /furry/

>>28978

is that supposed to be an argument? newsflash building a community following takes a long time but i guess you wouldnt know since you drove everyone away from your own board.

I bet youre the kind of sucker who would buy facebook likes as well. artists giving the board exposure like asaneman is doing is more reliable route.

>>28982

>reliable

that's like the first non-shit scribble drawing i've seen on this board in literally, uh, ever. it was a flash in the pan. good luck getting him to do it for free again.

>>28980

Eeriefag is an anti-social individual who doesn't want a community. As evidenced by your board where you constantly talk to yourself >>>/eerie/. So why should anyone take your advice if you're consistently and constantly wrong about everything you do?

>>28983

No one gives a fuck about your opinions. Every artist on the board can do better than you so you're just a bitter little shit.

Back to your empty board >>>/eerie/

>>28986

are you really so asshurt at me that you'll say with a straight face that paid advertisements don't work

>>28983

He did. Three times.

Any oldfag remember when and how /furry/ grow to 600 active watchers? /furry/ was the 5 biggest board before puppysky abandoned it to wannabui to destroy.

>>28990

and nothing happened

>>28991

it was a monopoly is why

then /trash/ was made and it was no longer a monopoly

>>28989

>are you really so asshurt at me that you'll say with a straight face that paid advertisements don't work

They work but they're limited and expensive if also at best only 2 people could do it, one to FA ad and the other for e621, other sites would possibly block or are too small to help.

>>28989

Are you so dense that you'll bring up strawmen that I never made to begin with? I guess it comes with being a moron who thinks that he's better than everyone from reading public domain content that teenagers read.

>>28993

You're right but /trash/ is not a furry discussion board, is impossible to do anything besides drop porn and drawthreads, anything else is spammed to hell just like /b/.

>>28993

no it wasnt /trash/ was around before /furry/

>>28994

we've got lots of employed normies and normies with college grants and college loans that should fuck off that can buy one. also i'm pretty sure an ad on FA is only thirty bucks.

>>28995

>do not listen to this man

>i never said ads don't work

which one is it

>>28998

Seeing how your board is consisted of you talking to yourself, I guess that your advice worked really well.

>>28999

never bought an ad

>>28997

So when and how it got big?More than 200 active users?

>>29000

But you were always anti-social narcissist who made active attempts to reduce the numbers of their community.

>>29001

3 things.

1. moot created a /fur/ board and banned everyone in it

2. new admin hiro decided to start banning furry content in /v/ and /b/

3. /mlp/ banned nsfw content

everything ended up in /trash/ from there, but it was just for off-topic threads at first

>>29002

and how is that related to buying advertisements

>>29003

But how they found about this board?There was places like lulz.net and U-18chan but people got to here.

>>29004

And how do you think that artwork won't help when art is used to create adverts? Are you dense?

>>29005

I mean /furry/

>>29007

/furry/ had a IRL advertising campaign with stickers n shit. I dont think they ever bought an ad. CuckySky would be too much of a stingey jew to do that.

>>29005

during the second migration, the site was its biggest ever, and not many boards had been created yet. /furry/ was one of the first boards made on this site, and it was listed right at the home page for everyone to see even though it, at the time, had near zero posts. that was an ad in and of itself.

so this site was getting dozens of thousands of visits a day at that time and naturally people started posting on /furry/ and naturally that made the board remain at the top even after other boards were being made.

really if not for gamergate making people check this site out,/furry/ would have never been made.

>>29008

it wasn't a marketing campaign, it was just a drawing of nate being epic as fuck that i want to repost on reddit. it didn't have a URL on it.

>>29009

i lost my train of thought

i'm saying /furry/ got posts because there were lots of visitors on the entire site at the time, and /furry/ was one of the top listed boards throughout the entire first year. being advertised sitewide 24/7 helps a lot.

in other words you won't get /furry/ numbers again unless hiro does something even more retarded than our admin and makes people leave again.

>>29011

>general blackpilling

wtf i love 4cuck /trash/ now!

We dont need 600 posters, it was pretty comfy a few months ago with just around a hundred. Art promoting the board is advertising itself and it's obviously slowly working because we still get new people asking to be whitelisted.

>>29012

We need at least 300 users to make a solid community,big groups end up calling more people to replace old users, otherwise the board will eventually die like /pone/ that used to have 150 active users and now is 60 and declining.

>>29014

/pone/'s dying because the show is a giant piece of shit now (not that i watch it, i have better manchild things to attend to)

but i agree with you

>>29014

/pone/ isnt declining. it hovers around 70-100 same as we've been with for a while now. i think its going to be a smaller less board just by nature of being a niche branch off specific board.

Boards are only in danger of decline if you see a sharp drop out of the blue, or if it falls off the front page. /furry/ was declining for months after the spam and right now its at like 10 users.

For the same reason eeriefag said /furry/ got popular in the first place was being on the front page on 8chan that is where boards live or die and we picked up a lot of users once we got onto it. I think /fur/ used to have around 30 before the migration.

Curiously. How much is adspace on FA and e621?

>>28961

I'm almost impressed. You've been in a constant state of LEAVING 4EVA WAAH since /furry/ had decent fucking mods and activity

>>29086

alright

>>29086

so pre-cuckysky era?

>>29159

puppysky was a mod on /furry/ before he was an admin. he's been a mod since the very beginning. and yes i had a problem with it and you all should have, too. now look what you've done.

blue made a sticky every time he promoted puppysky, and every time i was the only one saying what a mistake it was.

>what youve done

whoa dont project at me I never liked cuckysky. and I was talking about pre-cuckysky BO era. I'm sure he was kept incheck when Blue was around, but after that ended he just became an unopposed powertripping faggot.

Been here and there since the beginning of /furry/ these boards have died down for multiple of reasons. the community is pretty shitty but that is anything furshit in general.. constant spam attacks might have bought /furry/ to the front but ended up killing the board after the what 7th or 8th time... the 8chan problem. though not directly related to /furry/ 8chan is not reliable in the slightest. with either spam attacks or straight up getting hacked. The only thing to do on 8chan is browse /pol/,/b/,/v/ and /leftypol/

Hi /fur/, I've been using this tripfag filter script since early 2016. It's set up to block just enough of salos' obnoxious narcissistic posts that you'll forget they exist. Also makes the site's built-in filters work on the catalog for the easier-to-catch tripfags.

var userFilters =
    { name: []
    , trip: []
    , com:  []
    , sub:  []
    , board_fur: [ /\b[iu](?:'(?:d|m|ve|ll))?\b/ ]
    };
userFilters.board_furry = userfilters.board_fur;

JSON.parse(localStorage.postFilter).generalFilter
  .map(x => userFilters[x.type].push(
    new RegExp(x.regex ? x.value : x.value.replace(/\s+/,'\\s*'), 'i'))
  );

var getText = x => x.textContent;
var rm = (selector, type, functor) =>
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector))
      .filter(x => userFilters[type].some(f => functor(x).match(f)))
      .map(x => x.closest('.post, .mix').classList.add('userjs-filtered'));

rm('.post .subject, .mix .subject', 'sub', getText);
rm('.post .body-line, .mix .replies', 'com', getText);

switch ( active_page ) {
  case 'catalog':
    rm('.mix .thread-image', 'name', x => x.dataset.name);
    break;
  case 'thread':
    rm('.post .trip', 'trip', getText);
    rm('.post .name', 'name', getText);
    $(document).on('new_post', (e, x) => {
        let newid = '#'+x.id;
        rm(newid+' .trip', 'trip', getText);
        rm(newid+' .name', 'name', getText);
        rm(newid+' .body-line', 'com', getText);
        if ( userFilters['board_'+board_name] ) {
          rm(newid, 'board_'+board_name, getText);
        }
    });
    break;
}

if ( userFilters['board_'+board_name] ) {
  rm('.post .body-line, .mix', 'board_'+board_name, getText);
}

>>28906 (OP)

perhaps make a thread that doesn't have known pedophile dave kelly's art in the OP

>>29468

perhaps don't wear clothes, they make those in sweatshops

>>29302

Salos rarely tripfags on /fur/ though so how would this work?

>>28906 (OP)

Not happening. /furry/ died off because people left it out of anger that the staff would bend over backwards to delete threads if one person complained. Kayla-Na more or less banned all negative talk of her thanks to this.

Lulz.net is also dying off, many posters left and the site's been overrun by /pol/ faggots.

In general I think furry is also dying off. People realize the "open and accepting" image is total garbage, they get sick of all the pointless drama every time a popufur gets so much as a small bit of art critique, and the realization the fandom coddled and protected a sexual predator also turned people away over the years. It's really only a matter of time before furries fuck up bad enough that it makes national news- frankly I'm surprised this has not happened already. The world must pay you little attention if Nancy Grace somehow never caught word of Zaush. Even the SJW scene has ignored it.

>>29482

>/furry/ died off because people left it out of anger that the staff would bend over backwards to delete threads if one person complained

No, Furry died because Puppysky openly abandoned the board after the spam wave.

>>29482

>furry is also dying off

then why is the furry side more popular than ever?

>>29491

furry in general, you illierate shit

>>29541

That's because nearly all companies sell products where it's not possible to know the quality of the product until the transaction is complete, making quality largely irrelevant; increasing quantity of sales, however, ALWAYS increases profit.

>>29542

>profit > quality

Thanks for illustrating my point.

>>29541

This board is pretty comfy far better than what /furry/ used to be, it just needs more traffic and drawfags.

>>28906 (OP)

More cross-posting. Take out adverts for cuckchan and other boards here on 8chan for /fur/. Could also advertise on e621.

Is there a discord or something?

>>29626

How this would help the board grow?

>>29629

I don't know. Is there a discord?

>>28906 (OP)

How everyone here found about /furry/?Maybe we can repeat the process that bring you here to get more people.

>>29635

Maybe with a discord.

>>29635

I came here from N8 art on e621.

>>29626

>>29630

>>29637

Oh, fuck off already. Nobody wants to hear your whiny bitch voice talk about your masturbation fetishes.

>>29642

We could fuck off to discord.

>>29643

https://discord.gg/yAvtQkJ

>>29646

expired.

Is that the discord? If not we should make a discord.

>>29647

faggot make your own thread stop the derail

>>29650

but that is my suggestion.

>>29659

Your suggestion is cancer. discords dont help the board they hurt it. now fuck off with your muh discord.

>>29646

post that link again

>>29635

https://e621.net/post/show/848752/

That's what brought me to /furry/.

>>29661

better yet, dont. discord a shit.

>>28906 (OP)

Isn't that shmorky's stuff?

>>29477

>Salos rarely tripfags on /fur/ though so how would this work?

Character-defining verbal tics. He can't resist inserting edgy lowercase "I" pronouns into every post, that's what that script actually looks for.

>>37700

i remember when shmorky wasn't a mentally ill transexual feminist SJW communist.

man things change fast in this age of insanity.

>>28906 (OP)

Considering how things go when you get more people why do you WANT more people here?

>>38506

It's probably not

Look what happened when we made a sitewide ad.

We got a poz thread.

>>38506

Small boards shrink and die, also more people increase the content and subculture of the board

>>46783

You've never visited 8chan, obviously. That place has small boards, that get maybe 1 post a week, but they carry on fine. /hamradio/ for example.

Large boards on 8chan always give the BO a severe personality disorder...

>>28906 (OP)

It's already growing more with nonsense threads than I wish for.

>>46804

The only way to fix that is to post more in threads you like and less in ones you don't

>>28908

*its

>>28906 (OP)

1- we need to know where the people who can be intherested in this board are (maybe in places like e621, discords, FA...) and try to catch their attention, a list of the existing furry discussion places can be handy

note: the casuals just go to porn places and fap, the fandom autists hide in places like tumblr or FA (I' m not sure we want this kind of people here...) I dont think we are a large number of people to sustain all those places all the time

2-know the existing alternatives and wich are their pros and cons, for example: /trash is fast but not 100% furry

3-think in what this board can offer than the others don't (it's pros and cons) and use it

personal oppinion: boards like this should be for something more than just a collection of pics, having entretaining furry related discussion topics is important... with pics you just fap and move on, with entretaining discusions you participate more (wich topics you like to discuss?) topics about popular movies (zootopia) seems to get a lot of activity, I personaly like to discuss about furry media like comics, games, and the thread I created about merchandise (this seems to be a nice place to do it) maybe also threads about the past/history of the furry fandom and stuff

sorry for my bad english but hope this ideas can help

>>28910

>yiff.party

it's a double edge sword, this also makes artist to not participate in this board

>>28930

maybe at first but it makes the existing people more active, brings more "life" to the board and it will make it look like a better place for discussion making more new people being active in the future, a death board is a place people loss the will to participate in it

since this is a slow board obscure threads can be made more easily, I am talking about topics that in /trash would die too fast.

The only way to save this board is to boot out the BO, who actually trusts Bui and continually neuters all conversation. I can't believe I'm wishing for Puppysky back.

>>49173

How so? BO does just fine for me.

>>49173

neuters conversation? lmao he does the opposite. he doesn't enforce one single rule. i've written probably 30 reports in my time here. zero have been responded to. we have a list of rules for no reason.

you wish for puppysky back, well you got him. they both abandoned their boards but retain their board owner status for no reason, too stubborn to pass it on to someone who cares.

>>49173

>>49177

Well I think they are doing a moderate moderation, and is ok to me.

>>49179

they're doing zero moderation. next time you see a post breaking the rules, report it and watch as nothing happens.
