I have migo'd 1490 pages of the Pippathread, nearly 30,000 comments migo'd. I can attest that dumping Nolan in there would do little damage to the thread's quality.

Thank you for your service.

A potential loss of users due to the nature of the transition was anticipated during the planning stage and deemed acceptable in order to accomplish the goals that staff laid out. Two weeks is in no way a sufficient amount of time to judge the results of this transition.

This is the new status quo. It will not be reverting. You are welcome to suggest alternatives and expansions of the existing topic range, or extra add-ons that will make the new site experience easier to navigate and pleasant to use, but that is it.

I am enjoying the new atmosphere in the new threads. I see people positively discussing things that would previously have gotten multiple sarcastic 'LITERALLY WHO?' or similar derogatory comments in the general thread. The majority of complaints are people talking about having to do 5% more work than before to find content they want. I do not consider these to be substantive criticisms.

In regards to the accusations of the new threads being hugboxes as worthy of consideration, I have a different interpretation. Members have become very used to having control over one general thread. Within the single-thread structure, just a few people can easily suppress any viewpoints they disagree with and push any conversations they don't want to partake in out of consideration. Over time, this has created a very insular view of differing opinions, and an internal culture that is designed to be impenetrable to most of them.

As a result, the same talking points are repeated and reinforced, and challenging them becomes progressively harder. The illusion of openness is maintained because established users with good track records of not rocking the boat are able to sometimes suggest new ideas or avenues of discussion that don't threaten the overall culture that has developed, but radical new ideas are rejected and considered dangerous.

I do not view this as healthy, and I take the negative reactions towards the new threads and the arguments that took place during their initial creation as justification for their implementation, rather than a reason to rescind their existence. A community that cannot endure the sight of other people posting about things they personally disagree with, in their own spaces, which they must voluntarily expose themselves to in order to even be aware of, is not a healthy community. I consider disrupting this status quo to be worth a short-term fall in user activity, and I hope that others will come to agree with that assessment as time passes.



I've restored the 'New Threads' sidebar display so that new threads will actually get the proper exposure they need. I apologize for not accounting for how used people are to there not being any new ones until now.

So You again refuse to FUCKING LISTEN and have confirmed as much. you like that people are becoming more tribal same think.So you shrunk the threads so same think is even easier to enforce by the same jackasses your complaining about because Less users = less pushback to same think congratulations you achieved disrupting the status quo what are you gonna do about the new status quo when its worse then the old one which all signs point toward it will be by your own hand split the threads again yeah because that worked out so well.

oh but we get new threads sidebar back .... .yay?

TVA won't die. I won't let it.

Nostalgia for better days/times.

Chipping in with my 2 cents. I've never been a supporter of the split threads, I've refused to post in them, and after about a week and a half I stopped keeping up with them. Hopefully important things will get crossposted to general.

 

[GOD'S STRONGEST BUILDERBEAR]

I like seeing random indies but it's always funny when they're brought up like they're important.

I assure you, my oshi Sena Bonbon is an extremelly important person and a backbone of every community

Let's not get too histrionic. I think the thread change has made the place worse, but it's still a pretty good place overall.

Shit accumulates. SomethingAwful didnt die in a day.

Little late I guess. Meh. Frankly I'm not gonna lie but the last big woman moment really killed my interest in activity for a good while. Thread splitting happened not long afterward which didn't help. Was only just starting to even get back to making my low effort garbage posts in the last week or so. Which to be some level of fair I guess is what the CEO of The Biggest Nicest Huggiest Forum Ever co. wants to get rid of anyway.
Exception for spamming bs in the 6th Fes thread when that started.

Spoiler: Rambling that ended up long. Tabbed to not shit up the page

I then decide to hop in here to catch up, lo and behold what a shocker, another big ass "You people are retarded and wrong and therefore my will and word is law and if you're too stupid to see why I'm making the best decisions for you well you're an idiot. No, I won't take multiple peoples comments into consideration or have any level of discussion. In fact, I'm going to only focus on one specific thing instead of multiple other issues people bring up to discredit the whole idea."
You do a lot of the type of shit people you claim to hate do for someone who wants some level of freedom or whatever.

Out of curiosity can we at least get a numbers crunch on how relevant the influx of fresh new posters or lurkers who finally started posting is? How much activity changed due to them? I would be curious to see how well it worked to integrate them into the community now that all the old mean guys got split up. Last I knew the "great community we built up" was told to be more kind and accepting, dare I say inclusive, in the new multiple threads so that we were less gate keepy and prevented from scaring off so much new potential. Unless of course we swapped the goal randomly to something else like "So long as we have several happy little communities it's a fair trade if the big overall one isn't as good."
Sure, 2 weeks isn't a good indicator of the numbers for new users, I'll give you that and we can skip it. However SURELY you have a chunk of data for the secret dms and lurkers who kept telling you they wanted to post a lot but them dang angry posters would have never allowed it. I should think that this being what they want would have them all showing up in the new threads going crazy happy no? There's no logic for people who asked for it to not already have dove in and gone crazy by now if they haven't.

Also yeah, of course the thread split is nicer for you. You don't care about 99% of the entire scene, except big announcements (especially if they let you peddle more corpo bad/vtubing is all awful except the small parts I specifically like) or drama you can milk/follow. "All corpos are shit, most big indies are whores," and of the people you care about- One has her own thread and is divisive if you don't already care about her, one is rambunctious and got herself a reputation for piss and soap, and the rest are small or less but you like them, so it's "offensive" if nobody is interested.
For anyone who wanted to keep up on several various people in various situations of hire, it's obnoxious. Most of the discussions in that aspect are still heavily slanted towards the same people anyway, just more inconveniently spread out. Virtually everyone ACTIVE has said something feels off and that the atmosphere seems to have fallen except maybe two decent threads, yet none of these people who supposedly asked for this have shown up nor voiced any opinion on how it's so much better.

I usually try to be some level of middle ground objective and not roll my eyes JUST because it's a post of yours, but anytime you post in reply about forum community shit it basically comes off as you actively hating this place and trying to write words to dance around saying it. "I like our community, I just don't like how you act, react, interact, talk, or do things with any given free reign."
Of course instead of caring about any of this, you generally default to "Well there's nowhere better so suck it up LAWL." Then sit there questioning why the mood seems more hostile and such around the place. Yeah I know, executive privilege or whatever.

Truth be told at this point, despite your "this place is great and worth fighting for" stuff I figure you would delete it in an instant if it didn't let you get "prestige" that works into getting all those dms and fighting all those gay battles you jump into. Wouldn't shock me the slightest is your goal was to get people out of here so you can axe it for the discord.

Anyway here's the @ so it's not some post into a void that I was "too scared" to direct at you or whatever. @The Proctor
Go ahead and follow it up with your reply of how everyone, especially me, is too dumb to understand. Hell go the full mile, call me an egomaniac or something. Like at this point fuck it right?
I'm not a big name in the community so I'm sure this was typed for no reason because "Lolwho?" (Legasp that TAWXIC term) but
At least you were up front enough to finally admit that you don't care if we lose parts of the community, whether it be members or culture, so long as you got your whale, Captain Ahab. Kudos for that.

yeah but the groomcord does not make him money.

I would love to see exactly how much maintaining this place costs compared to the donations he gets.

That aside did you really have to use so many words to say he likes fat chicks?
