That's different than what sexpest implies. Would be really interested in knowing what's going on before I leave one forum run by a domestic abuser for another run by rapists.

Go ask around CSPAM thread about lowtax or offsites as they could probably answer. From what I've seen there has been some outright wrong information floating around BnR during this shitshow but I am not really in a position to provide accurate information myself as I only frequent (lurk) some topics around CSPAM. CSPAM has also had actual grievances with moderation and lt before regarding banning of posters, so there is some history there.

What I wanna know, which I never see talked about, is the status of the three J R R Tolkien level languages that were promised. They were promised very early on when they were doing stretch goals for every million or 5. I think it was the stretch goal at 80 mil? Oh those old glory days of raising only double digit millions. CR wipes his rear end with 80 mil now.

Making new languages isn't that tough these days. This website procedurally generates them: https://www.vulgarlang.com/

Yeah, even from what I saw Torquemada's report is about half of what I've seen over the past day, but tracking it down is difficult. Wait and see whether Jeffrey can actually get the forum off Lowtax first, I think.

:reddit:: Oh Star Citizen isn't just modules anymore?

:homebrew:: Hasn't been just modules for years...

:reddit:: So it's a full game?

:argh:: Star Citizen is and always will be a sandbox open world game similar to Elite Dangerous in terms of "defined end-game".

Squadron 42 is a "complete" single player campaign featuring ~20 missions.

Both games use the same engine.

Star Citizen is available now and has many game loops, but many features are still to be added. It's 50 players per "server" and progress (money earned, ships and weapons purchased) is reset regularly.

Squadron 42 is in an unknown state as the developers stopped providing progress updates. They announced they would do a presentation video of some kind a while ago, but nothing has surfaced, which is why you'll see a few grumpy posts appearing in this thread, both from concerned backers and a group of trolls who've been obsessed with hatred for the game for many years after many of them were banned from the official forums by Ben Lesnick.

:reddit:: Okay awesome. I'll definitely check it out. All I had access to last time I played was a hanger and some unfinished city thing. I can't remember the names tbh. I only bought one ship then as well

I doubt they meant input handling as a whole, more like assign a certain key to a generic input handler, which makes more sense in given base class than in the handler itself.

I'm not sure, do you know the names of the threads you're trying to find? We tried to archive everything from the subforum IIRC (except for the obvious white noise poo poo that I deleted before we closed, but if sebmojo is right I guess maybe some got deleted (sorry, I didn't know that was an issue at the time, I hate to think I'm responsible for such a loss of history). In any case if you have a rough idea of the threads you're looking for I can see what I can do about finding them. I can't promise anything but I can try.

Funion posted:

I see shitposting in CSPAM as dark humor, and a way to cope with the new horrors of each day. It reminds me of how we used to cope when I worked as an EMT. The TRUMP thread is full shitposting now because of how comically horrific Trump is. In most of the other threads you'll find bits of theory, debate, and deliberation, but the desperate humor is always there. D&D and CSPAM came together for a bit on Bernie, for different reasons, but now they are distinct again (Biden and Tara Reade).

Anyways CSPAM = a solid leftist space, not necessarily just a place to shitpost.

That's a much better description of the differences, thank you. I probably shouldn't have been quite so flippant about the descriptions of either subforum but I was running low on energy and really banking on the hunch that half the posters here wouldn't care lol. In any case, thank you.

a price will be paid. 2015-2016 was just a manic shitshow from my vague memory. I say go for it before more of the image links die. A ton of them are already dead because of a saga involving a Redditor writing a bot to report imgur links in the thread, which then was taken advantage of by posters here to report random Star Citizen reddit poster's images.

this all feels so much like a fever dream I'll need some other people here to confirm this actually happened

That's not exactly what happened lol. We had been posting images from reddit to laugh at them (like we've done for years) so when the genius-brained reddit guy made his report bot, he unwittingly targeted reddit's images via the thread, which led them to believe we were using a report bot on them, which led to the creation of the "stargur" image hosting platform, which immediately collapsed under its own weight lmao.

it was entirely accidental on our part, we just stood around scratching our heads and wondering why someone would build a bot that reports their own images lol.

Hello Commandos
I'm pretty sure the bot ended up reporting images we posted here but we image leeched and were hosted by them still, so they managed to somehow report and remove their own images from the source, which was a self own the magnitude of which has not been seen before, or since.

Stargur.com, a temporary or permanent replacement for imgur.
Hi everyone, you may have noticed that our community along with several others has been under attack by a imgur report bot. This bot reports image links and makes imgur's auto removal system trigger. I have tried to contact imgur multiple times this week and have failed to communicate in any way. This lead me to the believe that if we can't fix the old site, just make a new one.

stargur.com went from concept to live in around 24 hours so we are still adding features and working to improve however in it's current state it serves it's original purpose. Things like full album support are coming soon.

(also stargur doesn't compress your image like imgur so that's a plus.)

Lol, no need to apologize. I rooted for bagman from the beginning. So while sipping a mint julep I tossed a buck on bagman at 50:1 odds.

I think one of the better goon posts after mine was basically "This cannot be real" after bagman was dragged on stage basically microwaving himself.

This was, by far, peak humor for the thread. Even better if you were watching it in real time as their own report-bot took down their images one by one, and they scrambled to blame us.
