I love the chat thread and the memes, but I don't really appreciate the borderline and blatant :nws: images and really weird fetish fanart that sometimes pop up. It can really get out of hand sometimes and I worry that scares away other potential speedfriends. Most of my liveposting time happens during downtime at work and I prefer not having to be ultra-careful scrolling down lest I get another giant bird dick in my face.

Yeah, I used to follow along at least even if I didn't post much, but now I don't even bother because of that stuff. Shame since I had been enjoying them since whenever they started.

The shitposting thread is fun, but it's an unholy abomination that will be utterly worthless once the event is over. Kenny, your thread will be the one people return to, as it has more meaningful discussion than endless :emptyquote:s, almost-but-not-quite-porn and legit porn.

Yeah I came to the same conclusion like an hour after I made that one grumpy post, so.

Still, thanks to everyone who showed appreciation for my effortthreads.

Good: When the chat thread unanimously decides on a thread mascot (seems to be Isabelle this time) and posts adorable fanart scattered throughout the event no matter what's on screen

Bad: Bird dick

Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

I mean, a couple sixers for inline porn would stop it real quick. Or a week long if you wanted to be mean.

Christ, I meant the ones posting actual porn, not nuke the entire loving thread :(

It's MOSTLY fine. I saw a dozen pics that went past suggestive and outright inline porn was posted once by mistake. Considering the thread has 700+ pages, it's not too bad. I like the chat thread better when it's more on-topic and less PYF slash fanart, but since it's an once-a-year thing it's whatever.

hi just popping in to agree.

The biggest value of the serious thread recently has been for the been post AGDQ commentary, discussions, and recommendations. With the past AGDQs I ignore most of the live stream, then when it's over I pop into the serious thread to find out the must-watches and final fundraising results.

I'll even go as far to say as you don't even need to post it until the event is about to wind down.

I will disagree with this, since a week is a long time to forget about why a specific run was good or not

i know it's something that would be highly pushed back against by the people involved, but, there probably is something to it given that i kind of don't want to post in the shitpost thread anymore because of the relatively high amount of videogame character genitalia to scroll past

I don't see why you can't talk about runs in the slow thread. That's what I have done if the chat thread moves too fast.

the mods came in and said "tone it down" and everyone basically said "yeah that's fair"

Having someone who's already involved with the thread able to say "hey guys tone it down a bit" and able to hand out breaks if necessary would probably not be looked upon poorly, and it'd also be nice for the occasional twitch-wannabe poster coming in talking about how cringy those runners enjoying themselves are

im kinda torn cause i want to be able to shitpost and have fun with the goofy fanart and stuff, but on the other hand the current chat thread is like 85% not talking about the current run at all. it started fine but got increasingly off topic and i just kinda stopped following late yesterday.

:jpmf:

No, but for real, just post. There's a lot of fanart emptyquoting and it got kinda badly off-topic sometimes, but as long as the run is not boring as gently caress there's always someone posting about the run (mostly me if I'm around). Be the change you want to see in the chill thread.

The best solution to "no one is posting about what I want to post about" is posting about it. The topic is rapidly shifting, but there are usually a few comments about the current run, and tons of comments about great runs.

People aren't really posting porn and I'd say most of it is equivalent to like a pg-13 but some stuff really pushes that line. There were a couple incidents where people messed up and did so but those people edited it out when they realized and apologized.

edit: Line-pushing has been happening notably less since the mods warned everyone.

Yeah, you have fun scrubbing down 50k (and growing) posts for some video game boob, bud. I doubt Palpek and VideoGames want to deal with it either, and the warning has made all but the most determined be more mindful of the dumb fanart they're grabbing.
