Maybe this was a step too far? I agree something has to be done in an effort to revive the quieter boards, and if that's locking threads, that's what we'll do.

But /news/ has had 70 posts in two years and as far as I remember never officially opened. >>/news/3

The problem is they're just bad threads.

>>8810
Unfortunately it seems that a section of .gs's userbase does want to create these threads, so rather than cluttering up /b/ we've given them their own section. I view it much the same as I view /pol/; given the option I'd rid the place of /pol/ threads entirely, but some of you seem to like being tedious argumentative wankers participating in thoughtful and well-reasoned discussion, so you get your own little section to fill. I'm with >>8808 and >>8809, they need their own section but said section also needs to be immediately viewable. But I am sure our noble creator can implement this as soon as he's finished his tea. I meant no offence, yer lordship, please! I have a wife and ten kiddies!

This is a known issue.

Interestingly, while /b/ has almost 300,000 total posts and /lit/ only has about 4,500, /lit/ has 10 more unique posts than /b/. Either something really odd is going on there or I'm completely misinterpreting the data.

>>8796
Chartjunk. In particular the 3D effect is completely unnecessary. The viewer will tend to appraise the relative volumes of the perceived solids, whereas the actual data is presented simply by the height of the front face.

>>8800
I can see your argument in terms of pointless aesthetics but all of the bars have the same width and depth, so the volume will change linearly with the height anyway. You might be right psychologically, the addition of the third dimension might exaggerate the grandeur of the far-left bar and understate the ones near the right, but geometrically it makes literally no difference.

>>8798

/dev/

I have enough trouble loading threads with .gifs in them as it is. I would never visit /gif/, regardless of how redundant it is.

>>8777
Ignore >>8780's explanation because in-jokes are shit. They actually represent britfa.gs' dedication to science, ecology and artistry respectively. The characters on the inside of the mug, meanwhile, represent our tolerance and understanding of people of all creeds and colours that are white.

>>8785
and Cousin It.

On a side note, I'd take up smoking for a pack of britfa.gs

>>8786
No, it's Captain Caveman.

>>8788
He's the other one.

So it's true. Metal is for children.

>>8779

>>8782

Listen you snot-nose little shit, I was posting that image back when you were still crappin' in your hands and rubbin' it on your face.

>>8783
You're a real flame special, aren't you, son? Young, dumb and full of cum, I know. What I don't know is how you got redirected here. Guess we must just have ourselves an arsehole shortage, huh?

>>8784
Do you know where I've left my Ginger Nuts?

>>8474

I think they do it over on some of the Slav chans.

IIRC their method isn't very great regarding aesthetics.

>>8471
This is me at work. Do not adjust your sets.

>>8477

>>8477
The prophecy is fulfilled.

>>8773
Is that all you bumped for m8?

>>8767
You must be new here.
That's an old old problem which occurs whenever threads are deleted.

>>8767
It's what happens when you remove Kebab Kalakukko.

>>8768
I've actually never seen it before as I've only started using /*/ recently, and was scared that reality as we know it was collapsing. Thanks for the reassurance, chap. As you were.

I'm getting this >>8767 but much sooner than usual. There are about 3 threads in /*/ for the last few days.

>>8771
Look at >>8701 and have a little think about why that might be.

>>8757
>>8758
Oh you guys!

>>>/pol/40199
Why was this thread nuked?

>>8760
Ahhhmmm... I wonder....

>>8760
It wasn't, it was clearly carpet bombed you fool.

>>8760

Oh Mr. Mod, thank you thank you thank you.

>>8695
It's ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A

But shhh!

>>8722
THAT FUCKING CRAB

On a similar note, can you put an anti-american wall up in /pol/? The contingent it attrats is rather tiresome.

>>8696
I haven't noticed any American shitposting in /pol/. I thought most of the shitposting was done by British regulars, and that's including those who go on about liberals and conservatives.

>>8696
Oh for fucks sake, you actually come here to ask Mummy to ban those you disagree with? Eat a thousand dicks in hell.

>>8697
Have a look at sentry. I'll wager >>8698 is him too.

>>8698

I agree with him. It's not because I disagree with you but it's because you're a nasty, nasty cunt.

>>8686
Use TOR?

>>8686
If I ever sleep in mine, its curled up like a mouse in the corner of a Herman Miller Aeron rather than a bed, but I catch your drift. This is a filthy discriminatory act against those who call a shed their castle. I deplore it.

And when is /dj/ coming back for that matter?

I'm ashamed of our audio support to be honest. I'll sort it out soon.

>>8623
Bumping to get rid of that eye thing.

Can we have the ability to post multiple images in /art/ please?

>>8684
Consider: XChanDD does not support multiple image posts.
Posting multiple images at once using in-board functionality would still require you to browse-to and select each file.

>>8482

>>8483

Oh, well now I feel a bit of a tit.

_{can you still add bill oddie somewhere please?}

>>8484
I was going to direct you to the logos thread, but shockingly it seems to have fallen off the end of the board. I hope purple can resurrect it, it was a great thread.

>>8482
Not enough demand, init m8.

Also /eco/

>>8667
So they can regale us with tales of Nepalese brothels.

How long ago was it that the Kathmandu lads were shoehorning that they're living in Kathmandu into every post they made? It feels like absolutely ages ago.

Only one ban from September 2010 geo-locates to Nepal so I assume it's that one. Done.

If a ban needs removing please copy and paste us the ban reason, it's usually far quicker to find from that.

>>8670
You fool! You've just unbanned the bloke who was banned in the first place! This Nepal network is massive.

>>8671

It'll be far more satisfying to re-ban him if he ever does anything now, knowing I'm making him trudge across town to post.

>>8667

In terms of people who actually post, about four, this will change over summer and could go up or down. There is a fifth person who lurks and never posts. His non-posting is probably a good thing.

>>8668

I think most of the shoehorning was done by one or two people. I post here lots and have done for years and rarely mention the place. I'm having a day around town soon and will take pics, so be warned of a mostly pic based thread sometime soonish.

>>8672

This makes me tempted to film a typical taxi ride. Not sure how to keep it anonymous though. Gerry Adams in the 80's voiceovers perhaps.
