Trained a guy today to be a web dev. Was fun. Haven't felt that superior in a long time.

Those are deer you fucking retard

The beam of light, dude. The deer is looking right at it.

it was a joke friend

I'm not your friend, bro.

My dad showed me this strange frame from one of his motion-sensor hunting cameras that he uses to scout for good places to shoot deer and stuff. The thing doesn't have a flash and only snaps a shot when it senses movement. I'm also including another shot that occurred a few hours later. The only thing that I have edited is the size of the picture and the name before uploading to imgur.


Note the strange shape behind the deer that isn't there in the first picture... Obviously the camera doesn't move.

Any ideas what the hell is happening here?

so something i learned from my time in Sniggwaffe when i use to play EVE

the strong corps in EVE don't stick around and stay strong because they're good at EVE and they're all super interested in the game, they stick around because they've built a strong community not just by playing EVE, but by also making sure to interact with each other a lot through other avenues whether it be through their forum, other video games, shooting the shit on their mumble, or just holding stupid karaoke contests

a group that plays together stays together

Not to sound butthurt but when it's really just the weebs that play together and game nights never really attract people that can't happen.

We're a pretty tight knit community but we're not all close. I used play Ghost Recon with these 2 dudes at first and we eventually became a group of 17 people because we all talked to each other and got along. There was nobody that was "part of the group" but not part of a chat or another game being played. It was really tight knit.

Here, there's a group within the main group that chat together, play together, and spend time together. And nobody else is really welcome. You can't do that and then not expect the community to die off (albeit slowly).

Back with that group of people I used to play with it was different. We all had different views and ideals but we all respected each other and just threw the bullshit to the side. There I knew I could organize an event and everybody would be down to play (if they could make it). Here, I kind of feel like a stranger and that little to no one would actually care to join any event I organized. And it's not just me, it's several members who I've seen try to host gaming sessions with maybe a few people joining or even no replies to the thread. So they give up. It kinda has this high school vibe with only the "popular kids" mattering. Maybe that's what a lot of new members see too so they just bounce.

This is pretty spot on actually.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but back in 2014 when people first started using skype groups on here, everyone got along a lot better and anyone that was from Sep7agon just got thrown into one group and we all did calls together. We even had gamenights and shit. Over time it got bigger and smaller groups began to splinter off and eventually people became so separated after drama and shit that the only real groups that felt like "community" were small circlejerk groups that eventually died as well.

You can't really do anything with people here without being in some sort of group or clique but even that feels like it's dying.

Let's bring it back!

TBH part of the reason I stopped participating in Skype stuff is because one of the mobile updates basically broke the app for me and I could only communicate when I was at home. We should have more game nights, though. Maybe make a recurring schedule so that everyone knows when they're going to be going on. Like once a month on the 7th or something?

We should probably maybe think about advertising again too. Spread the word and all that. Like I said before, I am all for reeling in the rules so that the forum would be more welcoming to newbs and then leaving Anarchy for the crazy stupid fun zone.

I host customs all the time but people from Sep7 rarely join.
Also a lot of the fun here has sort of just died.

Yeah I saw you online yesterday but I was on Warzone. The problem is that nobody knows that people have lobbies open. Gotta post that shit.

What's our policy on advertisements from registered members? IDK if we even have one...

I agree. I just literally haven't had the time to do any improvements lately (even though I have a few of them mapped out). Today (I guess, since it's 1:30AM) I'll be buying a VPN and start the process of moving the site over to the better host probably next week.

After that, well, I was actually considering migrating the site to WordPress / BBPress. There are well-supported plugins for it that allow private groups, the platform is waaaay more modern than SMF, and it has blog/article support out of the box, which is another direction I want to go in so that we can establish ourselves as a gaming and off-topic forum/site that actually puts out content.

The shit thing is just my lack of time available.

just open it now then

surprise anarchy until tomorrow night (the rest of the weekend fam)

But why though?

Spam threads allowed

Talking shit about other users allowed

Porn allowed

way more fun than The Flood in general

There doesn't have to be some big event for Anarchy to be worthwhile

it's a no rules board, and just way more fun than vanilla Flood

kk

You would have remembered to if not for your botched lobotomy.

Dude, what is your problem with me? I try to be nice to everybody and it's always "Wow look out for the nigger jew!" or "Wow Cheat you better get back to filming that Alien movie!". All I am is a joke to you guys...

Don't know why I bother.

Cheat is gonna need a timestamped dick pic to confirm your identity. As many as possible.

Please don't.

So the secret to activity is more circle-jerk threads?

I got banned from b.net late on the 6th so I'm spending Bungie day here,Were I won't get a week ban for a FilthyFrank video in a group chat.

Nig, it's a group chat.. the fuck?

You can report messages in group chats now...and some people have used it to censor everything.

I would be here more offen than there but trying to make my account beautiful suuucks on mobile.

They're just using Bungie Day to sell in-game items.

Remember when they gave away a free map on Bungie Day? Good times.
