And I'd like to make a least one update post on my project.log thread. I only have part of one weekend left, and then it's vacation time, where I'll be pretty busy and/or traveling. Hopefully it all works out with some planning. All the subforums have been nice though, so I'm having fun. Ubersandwich posted:I'm in the same boat, or 'balloon' as it were.

My favorite parts of that ancient relic: 1) every poster has their IP address exposed next to their post (it sure was a different time!) 2) the forum list, so tiny back then (around the forums in 5 days!), and of course the ever important DPPH 3) powered by "Infopop Ultimate Bulletin Board 5.45c" -- the what now?? No wonder all of this period was lost

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:What did DPPH stand for? Well, before D&D, there was a forum called "Don't Post Politics Here", but no one heed that advice and so a lot of politics were posted there. It was horrible. Very image heavy forum for some reason.

📝 Travel update: It's been a while since my last update. TFLC is a lot of self-posting. It will probably be a while before I see many more posts from other users. For now, I'll just keep at it. It's a really nice subforum for anyone looking to make improvements to their health or just get really buff. I believe TGO is one of the newer one subforums. It is neither extremely popular nor extremely quiet, with a mix of megathreads and smaller threads. There's some really nice content here. Overall, it's a really nice place. I had heard once somewhere that GWS was dead or dying, however there appears to still be quite some posting going on here though. My thread is suffering a bit, even with the offers of prizes, but that may be from a lack of participation on my part. Unfortunately, I haven't had time yet to update it with something substantial. There are a lot of competition threads here, which I would love to compete in at some point. There are also quite a few megathreads, but it's always easy to find something new to post here. I believe they also maintain their own wiki of recipes. This is a valuable subforum to anyone who enjoys food, which I believe is most people! I am not sure I understand AI culture. I'm not sure what prompted it, but the first post in my thread began some "car game". This resulted in a lot of activity, but I'm not sure whether I can call my thread a success or not, haha. They seem like fine folk though. It was also here that I ran into the Traveling BYOB Spaceship! I dropped by and said hello! CA is much quieter and calmer than its parent subforum. There are fewer and smaller threads here, perhaps owing to its more niche topics. Still, the posters here are very passionate about their hobbies. I actually had business in HCaH, so I was glad to arrive here. This is another subforum with a wide, wide range of megathreads. There's some really excellent knowledge to be had here, and some very helpful goons. There wasn't a huge reaction to my thread. I theorize this is more of a place where goons head directly to the megathread they need rather than browse the list of threads. I think this is a bit of a shame (if true) because there are some interesting topics here that you might not know yet you'd find interesting! PI's posters have a reputation (I believe) for being a bit "crazy", whatever that means. I suppose with something as important as a live animal and a situation where that animal very much depends on someone, it's probably no surprise people can probably get very tense about things here. The range of topics is a bit more restrictive here, and I think the megathreads cover most things already. I found my own idea for a thread had already been covered by a megathread, so I was happy I was able to come up with something else. Still, it's a nice place to browse, especially if you are in need of photographs of animals. TFR is a fun place. I was surprised how well my thread went. A lot of posters dropped by to say funny things. There are actually quite a lot of threads here, despite arguably a pretty narrow topic. It seems like a very active community. There are also a lot of threads in support of minority groups. It seems like a very lovely subforum. TPP is extremely quiet. For the first time ever, I saw a subforum with not even one page of threads. The rules thread wasn't even completed, despite being made 3 years ago. It seems TPP is also a really new subforum, likely made when the rule thread was about 3 years ago. I often looked around and found only one other poster looking at the threads with me. I had not seen such a lack of goons in a long time. My own thread has but one response, but sits at the top of the page. I think it has good reason to exist as its own subforum, but I wonder what they can do to drive up activity. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to convince people to post about these topics without experiencing them, but it is extremely difficult to convince people to go out and experience these things. Oh well, for those that enjoy it, it is there for them. I finally arrived in TCC. I finally made a thread in TCC. When I first thought to myself, before I had thought of this adventure, "What would be the last subforum I would ever post in?" My first thought was TCC. But then I quickly had an idea for a thread. The thread I posted has indeed waited a very long time now to be posted. Not to say that the waiting made it any better, haha. Still, this feels like an important milestone on my journey, at least to me. TCC is a very unique subforum. At the very least I can say, it's a good place to go if you want to hear interesting stories. Shadow0 fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Nov 24, 2022 |

I've asked about encouraging more new threads in TPP by closing the ancient megathreads (which got moved there from TFR when TPP first opened), but they are apparently kind of their own sub-sub-communities at this point. I really liked the idea at first because airguns are great but giving it a dedicated forum seems like it just made it harder for people to notice it. Maybe stick something in an announcement now that other forumswide stuff has calmed down a bit? I dunno.

That said, picking a tag is the best part of making a thread! I'm seeing a lot of tags for the first time. I've really enjoyed seeing the different selections of tags each subforum offers.

📝 Travel update: As I said before, TCC is an interesting place. There are a lot of extremely knowledgeable goons here, for better or for worse. It's worth a visit at least once in your posting career, if only to see the extremely detailed and beautiful OPs. IVFW is both a really exclusive club and a very welcoming one. It is a subforum that caters to people who have had very specific career choices, but it's also somewhere that seems to allow, or even encourage, off-topic threads. I was pleasantly surprised my own thread was so well-received. I really wonder what else I could have posted if not for that very specific life experience. But as I said, there's a lot to enjoy here; it is somewhat of a microcosm of the greater forums around it, so I encourage goons to drop by and see some of the threads here. TMR is a surprisingly quiet subforum. It's a bit more of a serious subforum than other places. It's a great place if you want to educate yourself and hear people's experiences. I find goons are often level-headed and reasonable people, so it's probably a great place for these kinds of discussions. Unfortunately, my own thread has so far attracted zero posters, so I can only comment on what I observed in other threads. It was then that I finally left the massive continent of Discussion and entered The Finer Arts. I began my journey in IZ. But I leave that for the next travel update.
