mods deleting thulsa doom threads. quests getting their own board, story time getting sent to Veeky Forums, art getting sent to draw, image dumps getting deleted. Basically a circle jerk community determined to make Veeky Forums dry and on topic, being ran more like a sub reddit than anything else


"Off-topic; all images and discussion should pertain traditional games such as board games, paper games, war games, and card games."

moots gone, and was absent for a while anyway. Gookmoot doesnt care.

It won't truly die. It will continue on slowly deforming and mutating more and more. Like a grotesque ghoul, just a rotten husk with cancer growing on it. Still living but not alive.

>mods deleting thulsa doom threads
Can't happen soon enough.

Thusadoom was always a single thread at night, and it was pretty funny. You are just a sour puss. Thats right, I called it like it is. You go look in a mirror and quit making lemon sucking faces. I have faith in you, that someday you will be a whole person. a complete person.

We couldn't do things in moderation.

Some smut would be good, so we flooded the entire board with porn until we whined the mods to get rid of them, and the mods obliged.

A few quests are all right, so we flooded the entire board with quests and forced the mods to ban them as well.

The occasional Thulsa Doom or "Get in here!", perhaps once every couple months, would've been fine, but while they were still allowed we threw them in daily, until folks just got tired at them and the mods then intervened.

We are autistic binary-minded shitheads who can't come up with a good compromise between zero tolerance and choking on it. So first we choked on them, then we got rid of them. Now all we have left is the placid, harmless shit that no one cares enough about to hate.

It was us, Veeky Forums. We have no one but ourselves to blame. We twisted our beloved home, like a retarded infant would choke the adored family pet.

>One can of Pringles is ok
>so I ate so much I have to lose weight to qualify for lap band surgery

>And now if I ever so much as eat a single can of Pringles, a doctor comes in, slaps the can out of my hand, and punches me in the face

When we look like /tv/.

Most of those things are garbage though. And story times are super lame no one cares about your shitty fan fiction.

I'd rather blame /pol/.

obligatory

You may not care, but don't speak for the entire fucking board.

Veeky Forums was at its best when it had something for everyone: your attitude, putting content down and claiming no one cared, was the first stake in the coffin we live in right now.

Veeky Forums is shit because of you and your ilk. I hope you're happy.

q
Attention-whoring namefags try and force their persona as a meme in a fit of egotism.

Or, really, when the board stops being about enjoying games and is nothing but blindly hating one game more than another, whining about everything being shit, complaining about how the board is run, complaining about new content, regardless of its actual quality, and a majority of threads are designed to insight anger and argumentation in other posters, or, even more disheartening, threads are made in that style because it's the only way to get any discussion about a particular topic.

Veeky Forums is actually reviving a bit IMO. Yeah yeah yeah it's summer so we've got 2-3 months of shitposting hell ahead of us. But this last year's been pretty good.

We saw some good threads on biosuits. A great thread on middle eastern superheroes (little or no shitposting!) GURPS as a meme is dying down, even as good sensible non-shitposting pro-GURPS shilling is up. THe edition wars among D&D players are dying down. Eclipse Phase is finally going out of fashion. /pol/ vs /sjw/ shitposting is way down from a couple years ago.

Veeky Forums has always been 95% shit. That's really true of anything. But that 5% that's worth somethign has been going up in quality lately. So here's hoping there's a revival in progress.

This guys got it.

I've been here only about 4 years and in my opinion the two problems were quests making me archive after 3 hours and fuckwads only joining a thread to shout niggerfaggot and shitpost

I admire your optimism.

Veeky Forums does need her scapegoat boogeyman.

Better to externalize the blame than to face ourselves.

But Veeky Forums SHOULDN'T be "anything goes". Its chief problem is all the crossboard questposters who stuck around because they realized they could make shit up and never actually roleplay.

Add in all the 40kids, DnD-drones, and hardcore cuckolds and it's no wonder this board sucks.

Removal of quests.

>they could make shit up and never actually roleplay
What's the difference.

You've got it backwards. I've got very low expectations, so when something good pops up then I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm on enough other boards to know that you can have boards with less shitty threads... but also nothing that's particularly cool or interesting. Veeky Forums produces stuff you wouldn't see anywhere else. Most of it stuff you wouldn't want to see at all, but some of it very good and original indeed.

If you know a better general rpg forum, by all means tell me.

When you hide all threads with general in the title and every thread is gone. That's when you'll know.

Spoken like a true NARPfag.

You have to go back.

It's already happened.

>all generals are immediately bad

The actual quality of .ist general threads aside, the IDEA of them is sound, at least. A single place where you can discuss a single topic. If you have a question, ask a general thread first. Now, they tend to be containment threads and foster "boys club" mentality and degenerate autism, but in theory, at least, they're fine.

>tfw you'd love a dry board for your modelling and gaming hobbies, like a gaming club online

>have to share it with a bunch of "cuhrazee adventures" RPG types who play one session on Roll20 and don't actually own any books or miniatures, panty maid quest #9748 losers, and people who think 40k lore is about posting drawn porn of Daemonettes/Tau/Sisters of Battle

I actually wouldn't mind another split

Nobody said it should be anything goes, there's a world of difference between that and no fun OC. Things like drawthreads and writefaggotry form the substance of the community here, and if everything that isn't a 40K general is removed the board will become /m/, Veeky Forums, /po/, or any other dead board where everything that is discussed is 100% on topic.
When doing the suffering/deserving grid the other week many anons pointed out how much we borrowed from other boards. Veeky Forums naturally takes from other boards and puts its own spin on things.

When the threads stop threading

Generals run counter to the very idea of Veeky Forums and should never be allowed.

100% this.

Fuck this idiotic notion of Veeky Forums as a replacement for other boards. Fuck the "ideas guys" who 'storytiem' at each other all day. Fuck the 40kids and DnD-drones. Put them in their own containment board, or hell, just make a board for /rpgs/ and let Veeky Forums return to being containment for them. Sharing this space with these lowest common denominator idiots completely throttles honest discussion into interesting subjects.

The idea of, "You can talk about whatever you want, as long as it's board related"? How so?

Unironically go to Reddit or some other forum with usernames. Why stay on Veeky Forums if you hate faggots?

All of those things sound good.

Because where else would they find things to be butthurt about?

I, too, hate discussion of games

The miserable fuck is of course happy, now everyone is miserable and as "hard" as he is.

10/10 to you user. The Smorgasboard approach was nice.

It's impossible to avoid though. Take /sp/, a good chunk of people want to talk about all aspects of the Premier League or NBA or whatever, at "breaking news" pace.

Would you want to see a new thread every time Manchester United or Chelsea sign a new player? You wouldn't want the effort even if you were interested, and if you weren't interested it would clutter up the board to you.

I use several different boards and ONLY Veeky Forums has this retarded notion of being a hub for certain people rather than specific topics. People here are the most wretched, slovenly, fragile group on Veeky Forums. Every time I come on Veeky Forums it is unironically like going on a generic internet forum; everyone just posts whatever they like without any regard to the purpose of the board or the quality of discussion.

Name the other boards you use.

Because there's diamonds amongst the shit.

Veeky Forums is a bit like /trv/ if only 20% of the users actually had a passport and went on holiday there. There's an impotence of genuine effort from a lot of people.

Aside from Veeky Forums I regularly browse /a/, /c/, /d/, /int/, Veeky Forums, /pol/, /qst/, /v/, Veeky Forums and sometimes /x/.

>bitching about having to wade through shit on Veeky Forums
Fuck off and don't return. The shit is to weed out transplants like you.

>thinks he has any right to complain about Veeky Forums

Except I've been here since before the /b/ Dial Soap spam, that's my earliest memory anyway. I moved on from that /b/ mentality, where you might have stumbled a little bit and thought that was how the whole site was meant to be approached.

nah, generals are fine for subjects that are flooding the catalog like D&D and 40K. there is no need for a Star Trek General. the mods should create a shortlist of permitted generals and banhammer everyone else

>I actually wouldn't mind another split
yes, a /fgt/ board for you, Veeky Forums for everyone else

>everyone just posts whatever they like without any regard to the purpose of the board or the quality of discussion.
if it drives assholes like you away. i can only applaud them

If one doesn't understand the law of Sturgeon despite that then one has no place to be talking about /b/ mentalities.

None of those other boards has the problem that Veeky Forums does. If I go on any one of them, I will find threads directly related to the topic of the board, and I will not find anybody who believes that "you don't need any other boards lel".

You don't have to waste your like rolling around in shit mate. Come to /trv/, ten pages of on-topic, polite, posting. It's not hard when the people on the board actually partake in the things discussed.

>/pol/fag crossboarder doesn't understand board culture
I bet you get shat on every time you post in /a/ as well.

So since this seems to be this boards meta-thread, why does Veeky Forums have a dice function if you can only actually "play" games on /qst/?

Do people on here just not use filters?

When I publish the FATAL revamp that I've been working on for a few years and I hinted at on Veeky Forums multiple times. I have about 3 more months of work on it. Then I need to test it. Any volunteers?

>spoon feed me les gems
>>>r/Veeky Forums
Otherwise sit down and learn to filter and hide. Assimilate or leave.

Best posts.

Quit complaining and go out there to make the board you want it to be.

Agreed.
poster seems like an abrasive fuckhead.

what makes anyone here so certain there's a specific set of things one can do to stop being the shithole this whole website clearly is?

granted, this board is still probably the best rpg board, but it`s part of Veeky Forums, and Veeky Forums was never good. we all know this.

just accept that there will be some shitposting, there will be some drawfags, there will be some retarded childish storytime, there will be some of the exact same 40k/that guy/ /pol/fag threads every single fucking day, and there will always be an infinite amount of retards like that don't understand that removing all of these annoying things is what ruins a board.

>why do we still have dice
Same reason you were born with a pancreas.

Sorry to burst your bubble there, queer trans-otherkin bitch, but I'm not your /pol/ boogeyman. Veeky Forums is probably the worst board on the site, in terms of its average poster's sheer disdain for both Veeky Forums and its own supposed topic.

I just came back since I last stopped posting in 2011, Veeky Forums went to shit when the sagefags finally had their way and Veeky Forums got a mod, that sticky is Veeky Forums's epitaph, just so you know.

>literally crossboards from /pol/
>"if you don't like me smearing shit everywhere you must be a tumblrina" like an average /pol/fag too

So what did Veeky Forums evolve into that required the thing Veeky Forums was made to facilitate get its own completely separate board for? /qst/ looks pretty dead, how were quests a problem?

Contrary to your insane view of the world, /pol/ is not the source of your problems. The source of people 'smearing shit everywhere' is a homegrown Veeky Forums phenomenon - the retards who've never so much as cracked open a rulebook, that believe that you can just post whatever you want here. The cancer killing Veeky Forums is the horde of brainless drones that came here strictly for memes and have no interest in actually participating in the hobby.

>/pol/fag crossboards to Veeky Forums and is actively hostile toward board culture
>but /pol/ is not the source of problems

Hating secondaries is not a /pol/ monopoly

I didn't migrate from /pol/ you fucking dweeb, and I actually play traditional games.

In this thread:

People fighting over bait and arguing rather than pursuing their interests and having fun.

Yes you did.

No, I originally came from /a/ to Veeky Forums in 2012, I only started browsing /pol/ in 2014.

Yet you act like a standard /pol/fag in every respect.

What if fighting over bait and arguing rather IS my interest and how I have fun?

Then it would be best done on a board that is designed for it.

I think you are fucking ridiculous. I don't defend /pol/shit on Veeky Forums. Quite the opposite, I want all off topic bullshit to be removed, I want Veeky Forums to be a board legitimately for traditional games, not this toxic milieu of 'lel randum storytiem' and 'excuse me commissar'. You seem like a disgusting NARPfag though so there's little point in arguing with you.

>crossboards but still thinks boards should be run his way
>tosses around buzzwords and throws a hissy fit when denied
Yup, /pol/.

Yeah, Veeky Forums has become noticeably less diverse. The cross-pollination of write-fags and RP and tabletop is gone. Quests are slowly diminishing on their own board, cut loose from the rich, pulpy top soil that was Veeky Forums.

It'll eventually be just another meme board.

That'll be your sign btw.

When there's no more interesting threads and nobody still around willing to make them, of course.

>panty maid quest #9748 losers
I know, right? Panty Maid Quest #9747 was inherently superior.

We've had dice since before quests were an a thing. We have dice because most the shit the board's topic covers uses dice.

When people stop posting homebrews.

I feel like the issue with /qst/ is that there isn't really any draw other than quests. You go there, you have no idea what you might find that could interest you. All you know is that you will see quests.

Whereas when they were on Veeky Forums, I would at least read the blurbs in the catalog while browsing for other things, and occasionally one or two would catch my eye.

>Why stay on Veeky Forums if you hate faggots?
I thought this was the website for Nazis.

>literally crossboards from /pol/
>he thinks posting in more than one board is "crossboarding"
Here's a prime example of the "you only need Veeky Forums" retards who are ruining this place.

like inside or the the sweet release kind?

It is when you're from /pol/ and you continue to act like a /pol/fag outside of /pol/.

What the fuck do you think crossboarding is? Is it just using more than one board?

>We've had dice since before quests were an a thing
See, when you post obviously false statements like this, it lets everyone know that your opinions can be ignored.

The dice sticky was made in June 2011. We had many quests on Veeky Forums for at least two years before that.

The dice feature was given to Veeky Forums specifically to make it easier for people to run quest threads on Veeky Forums.

You know a crossboarder when you see one.

You originally called him a crossboarder merely for mentioning he visited /pol/. Contrary to what you may believe, wanting Veeky Forums to be on topic is not a /pol/ view.

fuck you, I do.

and to answer your question when we agree on something.

Oh great another vent thread and the janitors must be asleep fuck this.
Nothings dying you mong you're just complaining about shit that isn't there.

Acting with blatant disregard for board culture and jerking yourself off for shitting up a bunch of other boards simultaneously is pretty clear crossboarder behavior. Browse other boards if you like but assimilate to each or fuck off.

>crossboarders
boy only wet backs cross borders,
I here was raaised in one broad, an no dam muslin is gona take mah wayfus

whatever the terminology and semantics, you truly sound like a pollie

It's been happening for years. Not only is old Veeky Forums gone, every horrid thing that has cropped up has either done away with itself because it was terrible or been destroyed because it stuck around by being good. and we can't have people enjoying themselves on the internet hate machine.

Then why were they kicked off when they were supposed to be on here?

Yeah, I've never understood why /tg / bothers trying to be on topic when it's awful at every game it's talking about.

Change in management and a LOT of complaining by the internet badwrongfun brigade.

too much of them and quantity of bitching becoming quality
Should've allowed them outside of Veeky Forums

>Then why were they kicked off when they were supposed to be on here?
A guy who didn't like quest threads became a mod last March and used his mod status to make the new board.

The initial announcement thread for /qst/ was pretty hilarious because it was clear that he had no idea what quest threads were, other than "something I don't like", and even though the thread OP was phased as "let's hear your ideas on the matter", the mod ignored the majority of posts saying /qst/ was a dumb idea and opened the new board two hours after making the announcement thread.

The thread is archived on 4plebs if you want to read it yourself.
