>>23415 >because if you don't tell them to do it Well thank goodness no one was saying you shouldn't tell new posters to lurk first, then! >>23419 >It feels like the antithesis of an imageboard user Ehhh, I don't really think you can put imageboard users into one category that they all fit into, my man. I mean if I'm wrong I'm wrong, but the only thing that's mattered when it comes to posters here is that they don't come to /fast/ with the purpose of starting shit & stay on the subject this board was created on. The problem with certain posters that made people leave for here (regardless of what they were doing) was that they were intentionally trying to annoy users which has been a big sticking point amongst people here. I don't even think we're disagreeing on much here, just whether or not you should tell more to an obvious new poster outside of a simple "lurk more & learn about the place."

>>23411 I gladly accept your apologize, but it seems we're having a failure in communication. It's best to reestablish our own stands here. First and foremost, I have heard of /sthg/, and for the few onces I attempted to discuss there, it only put me to realize I was making a mistake. However, I'm not sure why did you bring this up, especially when I notably detailed I'm from half's /co/. I'm coming here, under the hope there could be more frequent enriching exchange of ideas, arguments made out of genuine faith and honest intuition, and smooth discussions involving the things I enjoy (Archie Sonic, Rotor and more, but not limited to them), to which half's /co/ disappointingly fails more than succeed at this, putting me to assume that's at least half the point of /fast/. For the third time, I'm reiterating that I do want to lurk here, and as a matter of fact, I already did that here for a great while, to the point I did post few times in this board before. I also do possess myself some accumulated familiar usage of navigating through halfchan for plenty of years, arranging knowledge of the most basic of the basics of the adopted terminology and customary culture, unless if you presume going totally brash in your posture and restrictively constructing fallacies and ad-hominens stupidity is somehow a-must, which that's no way to face against others. I come in peace. You may proceed to scratch out "avatarfagging", "namefagging", "discord cliques", "SJWs", and anything else relating to theses, vaguely to the minimum. I beg your pardon, but I'm out of ideas on how could you possibly reach to any of theses conclusions and, if possible, it would be most grateful if you cleared out the connection between theses and my true intentions. Hopefully, this is transparent now.

>>23422 >Well thank goodness no one was saying you shouldn't tell new posters to lurk first, then! Good, then you have no reason to be upset about our posts, since all we're doing is saying to lurk moar. >>23439 It's a shame that 4chan has degenerated so badly that you don't realize this already, but basically, post whatever you want, but be ready to get criticized and mocked if people don't like it. And if people do like it. That's just how it works. It weeds out a lot of the worst people and gets them to stay away. You can avoid this by lurking and seeing what will generally get that response. I'll warn you right now, the way you write, and your highly particular focus on particular topics, is likely to get that response. The fact that you felt the need to make a thread about this shows you don't really get it. If you just post what you want and act "normal" about it, then nobody would care, and you'd have normal discussions.

>>23441 >It's a shame that 4chan has degenerated so badly that you don't realize this already I do. That has been explicit by implying in my first post to this thread. I'm not sure how could you otherwise realize this. >but be ready to get criticized and mocked if people don't like it I would think the correct approach here would be to ignore and hide things you don't like, which I remember pretty clearly being the motto endorsed by Moot, while the higher-up staff are the ones to take action on weeding out the worst (which is visible, as you can note the few ancient threads spread across the catalog that are locked for obvious reasons, or even that previous deleted post warranting hate over gay people). I'm not either sure if that's any benefiting, as one could argue that will feed in for breeding elitism. >the way you write, and your highly particular focus on particular topics, is likely to get that response Once again, I posted here for the few times before, and so far, no grand repercussions. I act "normal", and had normal discussion at both here and half's /co/, so it doesn't seem my way to express is troubling...? Which, why would it be in the first place, long as everyone can understand my talkings? And how come talking about characters you like and dislike would be any bad? >shows you don't really get it I'm feeling a awfully lot of facetious impressions, with you vaguely obligating I should get something already, but I don't know what else is it. /sthg/ was most certainly never good, half's /co/ is no longer any good, halfchan as a whole has degraded badly to the most lessened levels of quality, and everything else related to theses are, yes, bad events that I agree and show the half point of /fast/ existing. All I did here was only to wonder about something that, while very obvious at first, it was just to feel ensured if this place really allows more Sonic things to grace upon about than just the games. What?

>>23422 >I don't really think you can put imageboard users into one category that they all fit into, my man I agree with that, but I was saying that there are categories that imageboard users don't fall in. >I don't even think we're disagreeing on much here I feel there's a bigger underlying disagreement that means we'll eventually come back to this argument but I'm tired of discussing it for now and I think it's close enough. Have a bunch of hogs and a pot plant. >>23439 >and for the few onces I attempted to discuss there, it only put me to realize I was making a mistake kek >However, I'm not sure why did you bring this up, especially when I notably detailed I'm from half's /co/. The conversation continued into discussing the things that affected 4chan and /sthg/ negatively. /sthg/ was the direct precursor of this place so it makes sense to compare what went wrong in order to avoid it here. >I beg your pardon, but I'm out of ideas on how could you possibly reach to any of theses conclusions and, if possible, it would be most grateful if you cleared out the connection between theses and my true intentions. Most of those terms were not mentioned with you specifically in mind but instead because as I wrote above the conversation continued into discussing the things that plagued 4chan and /sthg/, and 4chan is infested with that kind of stuff and got progressively worse the more infested it became. However, the fact that you write in a way that makes it very evident you're not from around and that you said you weren't really interested in sounding like someone from here, plus the homoerotic image in >>23365 and you specifically trying to pander to gay fans (read: virtue signal) are red flags of different calibers and could lead to big issues later. As I mentioned, I'm pretty sure those kinds of posts would warrant you to be laughed out of almost any other board. >>23443 >Once again, I posted here for the few times before, and so far, no grand repercussions Great, keep that up then. Keep an eye on that and you're all set I guess.

>>23443 >I would think the correct approach here would be to ignore and hide things you don't like, which I remember pretty clearly being the motto endorsed by Moot, while the higher-up staff are the ones to take action on weeding out the worst Yeah, you're right. Unlike halfchan, this board is decently moderated & has a BO to weed out what is & isn't allowed here, so reporting & ignoring will take care of any issues on this board like the post you referenced. And nah, you haven't done anything wrong or broken any rules yet, anon. If someone gets a bug up their asses about, say, a Sonadow pic, there's nothing to worry about so long as the pic isn't NSFW or anything like that. Again, this is a place for discussing Sonic the Hedgehog & so long as you aren't being a troll or trying to shut down any discussion you don't like, you're gonna be fine here.

>>23530 It's not about the guy wondering, it's about the other guy not immediately calling him a faggot.

>>23535 That doesn't make those posts any better, my man

>>23536 >>23530 There's nothing wrong with people respectfully discussing board issues and history and arguing their points in the thread specifically made for that purpose. What's funny is someone coming in more than 2 weeks after discussion had died down to make a pathetic attempt to create drama while adding nothing of value to said discussion and calling everyone else he didn't agree with drama whores.

Hi BO, thanks for reply >>25249 >I'm not sure what you mean I mean to become affiliated boards so we put eachother in the board message, just like our pals at /digi/

>>25252 Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it might be best to wait a few weeks and see where the board goes.

>>25254 Aight, thx

Made a rentry out of the the 2023 pastebin https://rentry.org/sthglinks

Old threads are being bumped for no reason. You may need to start locking some

>>26846 >soyjak.party Designated Backup Who designated that as anything? Feels like it's one faggot pushing it. Never heard of it before and it has no relationship with this place. >>26857 I don't mind so much that they're old as some are good, but overall I feel there's too much trash on the first page right now.

>>26876 Fair enough then. Just want to tell the mods they've been doing a great job

>>26876 >soyjak.party Designated Backup Removed.

>>26876 >Never heard of it before and it has no relationship with this place it's just duofag samefagging and posting his slop

>>27287 Good >>27291 kek

I'm probably going to start being slightly more strict with moderation. It's okay to be lenient and take things slow when there's just a few people and posts, but when you blink and people made hundreds of posts and several threads it's just not possible (and probably not as necessary) to be as nuanced. I also think something more aggressive should be done about the threads being created/revived, but I generally don't like being a rulecuck and right now it's probably best to wait it out a bit. Also since you faggots post a lot I'm rising the bump limit to 750, which I think is how it was on /vg/. I'm not sure what the global limits are and whether it's going to take effect, but I think it should go up to at least 700 posts.

>>27517 >threads being revived My suggestion is to archive every thread that was created before 4chan went offline so we can have a fresh start, with the exception of that DC story time thread.

Hello, I've also come in peace as somewhat of a refugee of halfchan. Is there something I should at least know of what to do so far so I don't wind up stinking up the place? I just want to discuss stuff and have a good time while making silly jokes so far. Also I agree to archive the old threads before 4chan imploded if you guys want a fresh new start.

Some of those old threads have some cool stuff in them. Maybe we should click that "Archive" button on them

>>27736 I'm not going to wipe the whole board just because you niggers got here, what the fuck. >>27742 >Is there something I should at least know of what to do so far so I don't wind up stinking up the place? I just want to discuss stuff and have a good time while making silly jokes so far. This should cover most of it: https://8chan.moe/fast/rules.html 4channers seem to struggle the most with rule 3. I probably should add some guidelines about creating new threads there too.

>>27852 Can you show me some examples of posts that you think struggle with rule 3? I don't see any

>>27876 Yes, gladly. Here are some, these are all from the same poster. >>27666 >>27672 >>27630 >>27622 >>27813 >>27814 >>27711 >>27454 >>27474 If this kind of shit is almost exclusively what you post, you're doing it wrong. There are other things too but some of them require more nuance. Some of posts from fags that are very clearly obsessed or horny about their character crush and create posts just to show that I would struggle to call high quality, but it's not at a point where I'm gonna go out of my way to do something about it yet.

>>27983 Do what? Post examples of bad posters?

>>27979 Hmm alright. I wouldn't call the posts you linked good but I didn't realize those were all the same poster. It's clear now that you've pointed this out but it's not something I would paid attention to >very clearly obsessed or horny about their character crush Sorry we can't help it. At least we have character-specific threads though

Hey, I was wondering what information the owners/mods can see about the users that post on /fast/. Can you see IP? Or can you just see which posts come from which user? I'd appreciate knowing.

>>28569 No, we can't see the bare IP address, but we can see some information derived from it.

>>26846 >/sthg/ booru >https://sth.booru.org/ It's missing the g

It's interesting looking at this thread with all its drama from 5+ years ago. Makes you realise how pointless most of this shit really is. How many of those posters still even come here?

>>28639 Like general location? City or provider?

>>28737 fixed.

>>28969 Just hashes derived from the address, and the AS number.
