The Flood / Re: Ok, this is going too far
« on: July 30, 2014, 04:57:26 PM »
i know that b.net doesn't feel like b.net, i'm just curious how long this will go on, moving from one site to another, i've seen this happen a lot, a person runs out of his home, and just looks for a place to stay until the person has no where else to go, just my thought on this site.

It didn't have to happen at all. (Moving to board after board after board.) The only reason it did is because someone thought it would be all sorts of fun to sabotage our efforts on proboards.

I'm not sure how much you know about offsites, but as long as you don't have some kid going around reporting your board for kicks like an asswipe then they can last for a long while.

New Flood went offsite back in 2008. They're still around, have over 1.3 million posts on their board, and members have even gone so far as to send each other gifts and even meet each other in person. They're a completely independent group now, no longer leashed to the hand of Bungie like a pet, and have been for years.

There isn't some inherent law of the universe that says any offsite that stems from B.net will inevitably fail.

Is it really that hard to accept that some people want a new board to post on?

Please lock this thread before a nuclear war starts,  :(

Nah, nigga I'm really curious as to why you feel this way. Like how is moving to a board with a better UI and color scheme, a closer/more tight-knit community, less baiting, trolling, shitposting, etc. not solving anything?

Have you seen some of the stuff on #offtopic lately? Or how broken B.net is in a lot of places still? What is so wrong with wanting to get away from that?

Truly, I want to know.

I understand our RV looks rather suspicious, precariously sitting there in the middle of the desert, but I can assure you that it is indeed just an RV and not, in any way shape or form, and operation for methamphetamine.

Please move along.

I'm not Smiggles
The fact that I am not her either is what makes me not want to draw stuff.

 Everyone who circle jerks around here knows she's the best and only artist.

Bro I love DXM. Though it's so weird, the most I've tripped was the first time I did Spice. I took a huge hit, kept it in for like 20 seconds, and I seriously tripped out for like 5 minutes so hard just from that. So fucking weird.

The mind fuck of spice is akin to salvia except that, if spice was a candle flame, salvia would be anywhere from a xenon arc lamp to the sun.
Damn, I have to try that sometime...

Don't unless you really know and are prepared for what you'd be getting yourself into. The experience can be extremely powerful and the ego loss can be ridiculous.

Take this trip report for instance.

Alcohol
Marijuana/Hash
LSD
Psilocybin
Acetylpsilocin
DXM
Salvia
MDMA (pure, coke based, and opium based.)
Spice
Hydrocodone
Oxycodone
Codeine-Promethazine (Lean)
Xanax
Klonopin
Buspar
Adderall

Out of all of them, Acetylpsilocin was the most intense and Savlia was the biggest mind fuck.

Unfortunately, I lack a single artistic bone in my body.

Unless you count writing as art, which no one does.

I said writing is perfectly acceptable in the OP.

I want to do canvases but all of my best work is on paper.

What I really want to do is murals, though.

I'm not Smiggles, but this thread will be the same as his'.

Have some artwork to show? Have some questions to ask? Looking for constructive criticism? Maybe there's an artist you enjoy and would like to share? Post it up. Anything, visual art, photography, music, writing, whatever.

Come on, y'all peeps are a creative bunch aren't you?


Here's some of my own work for starters. ( I left these as links so the OP isn't flooded with large images. We need spoilers eh.)

The Flood / Re: What do you guys want from the mods?
« on: July 29, 2014, 11:30:27 AM »
But when you allow rough housing, the supposed line is an absolute blur. You'll have instances where the majority thinks it doesn't cross the line, but the moderators do. When you allow certain degrees of something and not others, it's kinda hard to be consistent.

Yes, but I believe a majority consensus should win in that instance. So long as what the majority wants doesn't endanger a site from being shut down, or utterly failing then let them have it for the most part.
Majority consensus among the staff, maybe.

See I don't entirely agree with that. I like forums where it's community has some level of say on what is allowed or disallowed. I wouldn't try to enforce that believe on this board, however. This is cheat's site, of course. He can do with it as he pleases.
I can see what you mean, and I can get on board with the community being allowed to suggest rules and give their opinions on already existing ones. But for me, when it comes to deciding who stays and goes, that's what mods are for.

Yes, of course. I simply prefer the mods to abide by a CoC that the community as a whole had some hand in creating and/or is content with.

I've just had mods on other boards want to eliminate certain members due to personal bias. Maybe their own bias alone or the bias of a group of specific members. In the end it always created a large amount of drama between those that didn't agree with the decision and those that did. And there was no definite rule in the CoC to look at and say, "Well here's the rule/rules that were broken. This discussion can end here, now." That is because the CoC was, in essence, just whatever personal feelings the staff had towards the board.

This applies to more subjective matters that aren't plainly stated as prohibited in the CoC. Like someone being negative, or a certain argument that might have escalated to some degree.

I believe mods should allow some degree of rough housing, and let there be a definite line to have to cross for a member to be banned.
This seems like a tricky concept, to allow rough housing but to also have a definite line. I don't think you really can have a definite line - in my opinion it should be the mod who decides when to step in and end it. There may be a line, but it would vary from mod to mod.

No you can't have one absolutely. But you can have one that at lest a majority can look at and say, "yep, that nigga crossed the line right there."
