>>31997

Try >>>/liberty/, it's a political board with very few rules and the mods believe in free speech. They're the libertarians that got kicked out of /pol/ when the nazis took the board over.

Last time I checked, the /tv/ mods barely did any moderating and basically let the board become /b/. Has something changed?

My threads on /tech/ always get deleted, but that's because I only use /tech/ for tech support. I doubt they'd delete a good thread about technology.

>>31999

/tech/ deletes good threads just like /pol/ or /leftypol/

>>31999

Oh and /liberty/ is alright. so far so good.

/tv/ got way worse.

>>32023

>I remember people saying they thought /fringe/ was full of LARPers (maybe I'm wrong)

I think most /x/philes are sceptical of magic, yeah. Personally I've tried reading some books on it, but I can never finish them because my rational brain keeps telling me "this is bullshit".

>but do we just wait for this new BO to get bored and for someone more competent to claim the board, or is it time for a new one?

You might have to wait for years. For all you know, this is the last BO /fringe/ will ever have. As an alternative, there's always >>>/occult/. It had potential, but like most boards it failed to attract new users. I didn't even know it existed until a few days ago. Maybe you could revive it. And you can also make a thread here, we don't mind.

>>31962

How the fuck does this have to do with /x/?

>>32026

From the time i spent on /fringe/ it seemed like they were people that learned a few things about the occult but fail to recognize its magnitude. Thats why they get stuck on the retarded loosh thing

>>32051

Boards like /x/, /fringe/, /campfire/, /occult/, /fort/, /lovecraft/, etc are all part of the same family, even if we rarely talk to each other. And there might be people like me or this guy >>32023 who browse both boards and would like to be able to discuss this without fear of being banned.

>>32026

>you can also make a thread here, we don't mind

I've been thinking about it for a while, but I'm pessimistic about a new board going anywhere. Maybe if the new BO keeps making really stupid decisions and more people leave.

>>32064

Loosh is sometimes treated like a meme there, if that's what you mean. It's a funny word, so I'm not surprised that newfags and shitposters would use it like they do.

>>32067

>i have a quote of a mod saying hes a reptilian and he deletes shit that offends his species

Do you know what a joke is?

>>32075

I actually did read up about loosh more seriously and I think it does hold some ground, but the way it was originally explained to me was absolute bullshit. I think it just comes down to the memeification like you said.

>>32064

It mostly people talking about the same authors over and over like some sort of weird fan club. There is no originality in thought, mostly just repeated LARPer gibberish or WWA praise.

>>32075

Most people aren't going to leave until there's an alternative. The problem is that board creation and the claim system are both temporarily disabled.

>>32109

>>>/occult/ is back up

>>32110

Yeah I posted my thoughts on a few things. I suppose it was my form of chest compressions in order to bring it back. Will it last, who knows.

>>32111

It's going to take more than that. Post a link to it on /fringe/, and shill it on some other boards too (/b/, /r9k/, /christian/, /asatru/, /tv/, /pol/, etc).

Keep in mind though, that /occult/ is currently unmoderated. There's nothing stopping trolls/shitposters from ruining it.

>>32108

so convenient

>>32023

there was some good unironic larping on /fringe/ for a while that was so completely unhinged it actually seemed real and some very legitimate points got brought up

First off, /fringe/ always sucked. With that out of the way, yes, the new mod is a worthless piece of shit. They actually refer to the board as "my board" and are completely incompetent. The only reason to go on that shitboard is to troll now.

>>32357

I've heard the original site isn't actually that bad, but I'm not sure if I believe it. I just can't take magicians very seriously. The current incarnation of /fringe/ on 8chan though is just pure shit. Most of the posts seem to be trolls or idiots.

>>32359

Honestly, all the good posters went to fringechan and /pol/ and then fringechan eventually died out and 404'd. Now it's mostly /pol/ and a few specialty boards like /tok/ and then we go to halfchan/x for shitposting.

>magicfags

The problem is the lack of experienced people willing to call people on bullshit. Even if you tell the degenerates the truth, they're to concerned with their feefees to ever listen, and are unwilling to fucking read. You want to learn real magic? Start with plato, Socrates, and Pythagoras. Then study the runes and ancient germanic lore and tales, then read the Kybalion, then the indian vedic texts (indo-aryan makes no sense to westerners without the background of the above due to cultural drift) and then find something that actually interests you. This path eventually led me to Esoteric Hitlerism, and without the understanding of what's mentioned above, it would've likely sounded absurd. Might want to read Serrano's buddy first, the Master of the Sphinx as he called him, though everyone else called him Jung.

>>32359

Yeah there is some anon on there now discussing Fecalmancy. Talk about shitposting for real.

>>32371

You can tell a lot about a person by their shit though.

>>32361

What do Plato and Socrates have to do with magic? What do germanic runes have to do with hermeticism? Aren't they different traditions?

>>32371

I have to admit, that's a very ingenious troll.

>>32377

Read them and you'll learn the answers for yourself, better than I could explain. if you gon on /pol/ you can find me in the esoteric David Ickeism threada sometimes, often referred to as herbalwizaed/herbalanon despite never namefagging… kinda creepy actually that I'm greeted when I post anonymously

/fringe/ was bound to fail anyways. It has always been led by disillusioned schizophrenics who honestly believe they are gods despite still living with their parents. If this universe bends to the will of unemployed schizo neets, then let me off at the next Mandella stop.

>>32382

>living with their parents.

Homeless actually.

Wow, I've never been to that board before and it looks super gay. Like, web 1.0 gay.

>>32390

You're kidding, right? Its web 1.0 style is the only good thing about /fringe/.

>>32394

It's good if you feel nostalgic for it I guess.

I used to think changing cursors was cool when I was 12 maybe, now it just looks silly.

>>31997

>>go on /a/ and talk about anime

>>banned for no reason

Lurk and try again when you get the culture. We talk about anime all the time on /a/ without getting banned.

>>32377

Read The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Only the introduction is necessary to answer your question.

>>31997

If you get banned on /k/ and the designated shitting board /tv/ the problem has to be you.

>>32371

David Icke. I saw a few more posts of his pop up. I thought he left for shittier pastures.

>>31997

holy shit, this 100% I'm so sick of it.

>>31997

>/k/

surely you must have been on half /k/

>>31962

Wait…you can get banned for mentioning "Smiley"? Some anon was on there talking about a book Smiley is working on and as far as I know they haven't been banned yet.

>>32792

Check the date, maybe it's an old post from before the new rule was created.

>>32800

If the /fringe/ mods aren't enforcing the new rules and banning people left and right, is it really necessary to create a new board? To be honest I doubt you could convince many users to migrate just based on the promise of less shitposting. You'd need to give them a strong reason to leave, otherwise they'd just make a few posts on your board while continuing to post on /fringe/ out of habit. Usually the only reason a mass migration occurs is if the mods start acting like tyrants and pissing the community off. But most people prefer a 'fast' board with low quality posts to a slow board with high quality posts. That said, if you did choose to start a new board, I'd help you shill it and keep it alive.

>>32800

> start a new occultism board that isn't shit?

Why not migrate over to /occult/? It is already ready to go. I think the board owner is absent so it may be up for claim whenever claims are active again. The few posters that visit /occult/ seem to be more genuine and knowledgeable than what appears on /fringe/.

>>32804

>But most people prefer a 'fast' board with low quality posts to a slow board with high quality posts.

Keep /fringe/ for the shitposting, but move the more serious thought provoking discussions to /occult/. That is what it appeared they tried to do.

>>32805

/occult/ is fine, but it's currently unmoderated and we don't know how long it will be before codemonkey fixes the claim system. What if we start using /occult/ and then it gets invaded by spammers/shitposters and there's nothing we can do about it?

>>32835

>What if we start using /occult/ and then it gets invaded by spammers/shitposters and there's nothing we can do about it?

If that happens I would say lets create a new board. Honestly I am for either option. As it stands now /fringe/ is simply cancer. In the meantime we can at least try to create dialog on /occult/ and see what comes of it.

anyone notice the massive thread sliding on /x/ lately?

>>33055

I've noticed a lot of stupid posts yours included but 'sliding'? No. There's nothing to 'slide' on /x/ anyway.

>board started for mentally ill spastics

>a mentally ill spastic is mod

what did you expect

>>33055

>sliding on a dead board

lol

>>33132

>board started for mentally ill spastics

I mean, /fringe/ isn't the best board ever, but I think you should to check /pol/ before claiming that. I've read more constructive posts on /fringe/ than on /pol/

and lately /x/ isn't too far off with the flat earth threads tbh

i'm a newfag lurker and this makes me wanna leave.

>browsing fringe

not even once

>>33488

>bawww why can't every board be /pol/? :'(

And the picture that was deleted was gore, by the way. (Which is against the rules.)

>>32835

They still have a mod, but since hardly anyone ever goes there, there isn't much to moderate.

is there a /leftypol/ that's dominated by most third position leftists like me?

its weird /leftypol/ isn't as adamant against free speech like /pol/ is. weird.

>>33742

/leftypol/ wants to appeal to the nazi's,, they ban anyone who is farther left than them under the guise of """"Shitposting."""

>>33741

What's a third position leftist? And why do we need a political board for every ideology under the sun? This is why 4/pol/ is superior, they have a mix of everything.

>>33742

It probably comes from the fact that the community represents a wider range of opinions compared to 100% nazi /pol/. They still deleted my thread on the sexual marketplace though.

>>31997

>banned

>from /k/

You must have been serving some hot plates of autism with your posts, I got banned from full/k/ once in 2014 and that is it.

Even this faggot makes fun of /fringe/…he knows his shit though.

>>33804

/fringe/ is so full of misinformation it is sad. In one way it is like having a tour of an insane asylum without being noticed by the inmates. I swung by /occult/ and the new BO seems to be injecting life into it.

>>33751

I got a 6 month wide-range rangeban for LARPing as a gun-grabber. I regret nothing.

>>33934

What do you expect from people who believe in magic? The guy who runs /occult/ is just as crazy (only smarter).

>>32400

I fucking hate you faggots so much.

Same shit different day. BO came and censored Smiley's name from these posts, David Icke.

>>>/fringe/106483

>>>/fringe/106488

>>34164

How many words does David Icke replace?

>>34164

>redacted

Is /fringe/ run by the CIA now?

Well they finally mutinied, took long enough. >>>/fringereborn/

>>34215

I guess one board per opinion.

The drama continues. Looks like the BO is upset about the board split and has now decided to "temporarily" repeal rules 5 and 6.

>>>/fringe/106769

>>34216

>>34217

I didn't believe /fringe/ could become any more of a train wreck, but I was wrong. I guess this is what happens when the majority of your userbase is made of tripfags and other roleplaying autists. The BO sounds really upset, and instead of admitting he made a mistake, he's started insulting the users. He lost control of the board and of himself. What is he going to do if the tripfags turn the board into their personal blogs? They can just threaten to split the board again. How will /fringe/ ever recover?

I feel sorry for the few sane people who browse /fringe/.

>>>/fringe/106805

>How can a community of people who are supposed to be working on improving themselves spiritually be so fragile and full of butthurt bullshit?

Another day, another crisis on /cringe/.

>>>/fringe/106871

As if creating an alternative board was not enough, now they're talking about moving to a different site. I'm sure this will end well.

>>34276

Some guy is spamming the board. The problem is that on 8chan it's pretty much impossible to ban someone (thanks, Codemonkey!), so a single spammer can ruin a small board.

>>34279

There are two things going on simultaneously. There the spammers with the intent to shit up the board, and then there are the ones that want their own site merely to feed their megalomania. They might actually be the same people.

>>34280

Considering that the spamming started after this thread >>>/fringe/106871 was bumplocked, I'd say it's very likely that the spammer is one of the people involved with the creation of the new site.

Just when you think this shit show can reach no higher peak >>>/fringe/108110

>>>/fringe/109011

So apparently there's been a coordinated attack on Smiley on all sides. Or maybe he's just crazy. Who even knows at this point? In any case, /fringe/ is now officially /fringepol/. We'll see how that goes.

>>34430

>/fringepol/

Good grief. What isn't touched by /pol/ anymore?

So did that one BO who said he was going to kill himself finally kill himself?

>>34434

/x/ has a rule specifically against political content. The owner of /occult/ also deletes /pol/ spam when he sees it. I wish more board owners followed his example… I'm so tired of seeing political shitposting everywhere. To be fair though, it was Smiley who asked the /pol/ mods for help, and if it wasn't for them, who knows what would have happened to /fringe/ by now.

>>34514

No, of course not.

>>34514

I thought he was just doing that to win the heart of his waifu who lived in another country. Different strokes for different folks.
