>>4610 How much does britfa.gs cost to run, purple? Just out of curiosity.

>>4611
Too fucking much.

>>4612
But even though you pay for the site I still feel I should whine about how you mod it and what you do on it because even though I only uuse your site for free you should bow down to my wants! All of them!

>>4613
haha. I had a great conversation with a much younger friend recently where we discussed people on the internets deep sense of entitlement. He rather brilliantly wrote it off as "that's my generation all over".

I think I'd be perversely proud that I had created something that people can't even trust themselves to stay away from long enough to not fuck up a major part of their lives. You can still sleep easy though as at least you're not profiting from it...

I would love a nostalgia board, but I realise it is far to early for that. We need to wait far, far, longer, in order to ensure we confuse and alienate enough people.

This may sound like a sarcastic remark, but I assure you, it is not.

>>4593 There has been many good threads though.

That's nearly mine! I think...

Let's have riddles to gain access to the archives for x amount of time!

I'm sure you can make a passing comment in a week, surely? I don't see what bearing starting the discussion on a sunday might have, either.

_{And I just don't piss on my hands}

>>4579

That last bit wasn't directed at you! It was just an example of those who argue and joust with the rest of us on the internet, but in a cold, humourless, joyless way.

Do you think there should be a post limit?

>>4580

Hah, no worries, I was only joking anyway. I see your point though, but I think the same people are going to argue like that regardless of which board it is on.

A post limit might not be a bad idea at all - I'm there was talk of an r9k style limiting bot sometime in the future but I imagine that's the sort of thing that requires a lot of coding to get right...a post limit might do much the same thing. If you had to make your case in a certain number of posts it would certainly remove the petty back and forths, but it might also limit the discussion. It would drive me mad to not be able to rebuke an argument because I had ran out of posts, and there's the dynamic IP problem too...

But I'm still with you. There needs to be something to establish the workings of that board as different from any other, or else we might as well just argue in /b/ like normal. I just don't know what that thing might be. Perhaps a single topic and zealous moderation will be enough, it's hard to say. It's one of those things that needs to be seen in action before it is clear exactly how it might work, I think.

>>4581
I'm not sure a post-limit would be workable or preferable. A good discussion rarely involves one-post-per-thread. Going in a hashing/r9k direction might be a better bet.

>>4578

This. Also Lions with opossable thumbs.

I am truly getting bored of people whinging about the whinging. And calling it 'whinging' in order to belittle those that do it and pretend it's not valid criticism so as to preserve one's own sense of infallibility.

If any of you truly believed in half the stuff you spout about 'go somewhere else then' or 'it's purple's site not yours', then you would ban, delete etc. anyone who dared to comment on what they percieved as problems with the site. But instead you respond to them, because you want to delude yourself into believing that they are wrong and you are not. Any bulletin board should know that the userbase maketh the site, and telling them to put up or shut up just seems remarkably petty.

>>4582
I've already seen several posts across a number of threads agreeing with a so-called whinger.

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>4583

>If any of you truly believed in half the stuff you spout about 'go somewhere else then' or 'it's purple's site not yours', then you would ban, delete etc. anyone who dared to comment on what they percieved as problems with the site

How is that not denial? If that happened you could just as easily say they were trying to cover up obvious flaws.

>I've already seen several posts across a number of threads agreeing with a so-called whinger.

I'm still sure it's a minority.

At the end of the day whinging, complaining, and asking for new boards every six seconds does not help a board, especially when there is /shed/ right here for those threads if you really want to complain. To do it in the middle of another thread is shouting at a wall and souring a thread, as it inevitably leads to whinging about the whinger, and so on.

It's apparent that purple will listen to suggestions and (probably) criticisms, if they're actually reasonable, but I'm guessing this is in reference to the recent spate of "oh no there's been loads of rubbish posts this week, fix that" complaints which any sane man would know are beyond his control, lest he want to delete half of the content. I can fully understand why somebody might call that whinging.

I'm also aware this is now the whinginest thread on the site.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

See you then. The whingers are a tiny vocal minority. You're right, we'll just vape them.

>>4585
I really don't understand the mentality of moaning about an imageboard or forum. Either contribute something that you think is good or leave. The solution seems simple. Moaning is for people who aren't willing to take the social responsibility of making good posts or OPing threads. (in b4 but you are a shitposter). For example I used to hang around in the IRC, but I just found it confusing and slightly annoying. Instead of moaning about it I just left. It's probably not too hard to find out who I am.
Yes, I understand that I'm moaning about moaners. But this is the meta-board so I can justify it to myself as long as I confine the activity here.

I just read this back and I sound like a cunt, but it's not meant to be belligerent, just matter of fact.

>>4588
>meta-board
Sigh

>>4565
I love that new background too. Soon I will rename the board.

>>4567 You can't change the URL though can you? Unless you delete the whole board and start afresh it will always be /geez/.. right?

>>4568
Wrong.

>>4567
Can I put some other backgrounds up in other boards? Only suitable ones of course.

>>4570
Be my guest.

>>4550
Are you trying to bait me now? I'm confused.

>>4551

I don't even know anymore.

>>4549

i take pride in my grammer

>>4553
That's fine, but as >>4548 points out it is a bit rich for you to criticise anyone for shitposting.

>>4547
This behaviour tears me up inside brah.

I'm still lobbying for a /boo/ board.

>>4535
No worries, I see we got one.

reusing /geez/ is an excellent idea, go for it.

>>4538
Thank you. I shall care for it like it were my own changling baby.

>>4479

For the name alone a board is needed.

>>4532
You should be fine now, I've un-holed you.

I'm going to ban that proxy though, nothing personal.

That's fine. Thank you

>>4521
I request a tl;dr summary.

>>4523
IT'S JUST 2 FUCKING PARAGRAPHS! No you can't have a tl;dr version.

>>4523

Post categories

>>4523
tl;dr: Go back to school

Yes having categories is a good idea, it is something a couple of us have discussed.

In modern parlance, they would probably end up being #hashtag type things to work well. You would then need a search facility, which is something else that has been asked for.

Thanks though.

>>4527
Yeah I thought I had fixed that bit of code that shortens long posts, but evidently not. I will attend to it soon, I will shortly descend into my coding bunker.

>>4460

Some mods change their minds on some sites. Most of them will never admit it - stubborn and petty pricks make up most of the internet's self-imposed authorities, which is pretty much why *chans, imageboards and Wikipedia are such squabbly messes half the time.

The more "different" a chan is, no matter whether the difference is real or imagined, the more anal the moderators are likely to be, and the more whiny the posters are likely to be. This seems to work for a lot of people, namely the moderator with the smallest penis and the argumentalists with a passion for imageboard semantics.

I got banned once for posting a reply to someone that went something like this "l0lZ u R sH0 r@nDUM XD" because the poster was trying to be "random" and my ban message went:

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD:(

I laughed. Although my ban was a lot short than OPs, but you just gotta take it as a joke.

>>4503
Reminds me a bit of back when I used to frequent 4chan. I'd sagebomb a shit thread such as raff/ruse, post ending in etc (yay, iMacros) and get banned for replying to such threads.
Once I realised that there were other chans out there, I immediately fucked off.

I think what we're all forgetting is that bans don't matter. If a moderator trolls you with a ban, troll them back with a trollsome ban appeal and trollage on boards like this one.

Enormous entertainment can ensue if you do it correctly. On some occasions, there's nothing more amusing than causing a shitstorm.

>>4518
I agree with your sentiments. People take b&s much too seriously.

>>4486

>The new britfa.gs doesn't work with mobile browsers.

Have you tried britfa.gs/isite?

I don't have an Iphone but I can still browse with my crappy phone.

Any response to this suggestion from the man that matters: purple?

>>4511
I think it's not a bad idea it has been suggested before.

I recently found an HTML 5 drawing application that I like the look of. I might steal the code for it and do something similar. I've had some good drawing code for a while, but not a fully featured drawing thing like this.

http://mugtug.com/sketchpad/

The default ones that came with kusaba are riddled with security problems, it's not as simple as just switching it on I'm afraid. I'd have to spend a while checking it all out, I have other things on the site I would rather work on.

>>4512
>The default ones that came with kusaba are riddled with security problems

And plus its a bit shit anyway. I'm not surprised you don't want to put it up.

Just curious, have you installed the latest update Harrison is screaming about? apparently it fixes a major security flaw.

>>4489

Don't forget that DVD cover for a porn film called 'A Right Royal Bash' that we drew that had the queen laying speadeagled for all to see in the palace.

Drawing the queen naked with 3 other l4ds has become my most fondest memory of this website and all things to do with it.

what is the 1 hour ban list?
so far n****r is the only one ive found

fucking searchfag

>>4509
You can say nigger.

>>4509
It's n*ggers that gets the ban. iirc that's because a lot of undesirables idea of spam is to post the word over and over.

>>4509

Nothing to do with Searchfag dear boy. It's the inane cretinous flids from 4chan that think it's funny to spam "nigger" over and over and over. That and racial equality laws.

Picture not related.

>>4516
I'm glad we can discuss kikes and ragheads to our heart's content then.
