that's actually the second highest priority for migrating the forums, after the archives.

beyond that its just avatars, platinum, probes, permabans, and maintaining the rap sheet. with those problems solved I think they'll then be able to work on getting users able to view posts and create their own

dont wanna lose all my precious probes

do you know how hard it was to strike this trifecta?

quote:

I'm going to read the last 5 entries on your rapsheet.
"LF post detected" "Total poo poo, go away." "32 probations tells me you aren't getting the hint." "Emptyquoting." "Please take a guess at why you're being probated in a thread called "[EVERY POST MUST HAVE A PIC!!!]""
Oh wow. They all apply here. User loses posting privileges for 1 week.

imagine losing that

reddit is ok if you use it for what it is, which is a massive catchall for virtually anything. the culture SUCKS MASSIVE DICK.. but their patronage is so far and wide you can get almost anything whatsoever there

I've said this many times but the basic structure and design of reddit comment threads are genuinely baffling to me and I don't understand how anyone can tolerate them let alone voluntarily spend hours a day in them

due to the highly concentrated trash nature of reddit they are appropriate because in any given post only one or two comments might actually be good and the voting system means u don't have to hunt for them

it's the antithesis of megathreads, small single use posts

eh some subreddits are totally bankrupt of anything good

but ELI5 isn't always bad and sometimes the question is legit and the top answer answers it well.. or r/outoftheloop comes in handy and the top reply isusually on point. saves a lot of time

a lot.

Also is there a reason that the Patreon is for Gaming Garbage and not literally just "pay me to keep the forums open"?

like that's about all he'd have to do. Just set a minimum monthly goal for keeping the forums open and it'd probably immediately hit that goal.

id pay a very small amount anually for this site
