The once thriving communities under Shii and VacBob are dead, but Shii is elsewhere now, and with him the dream of prosperity on proper futaba BBS lives on. This flash is about the creation of /sjis/ which is still dead. w4c died because of moot, and so did the creativity of the higher order boards.

>> [_] Anon 1839725 >># I can't comment on /vip/ but /prog/ still amazes me at times, much like /b/. You wade through deep caverns of shit (and in this particular case, autism), but inevitably find incredibly clever and informative posts. Nevermind that they're all sarcastic flames, they're still gems. Shii was just cutting his shota teeth on web programming, so you can't blame him. Kareha (or any other solution) could've been easily implemented, but I suspect the reason for sticking with the current system is the sunk cost fallacy. VacBob (et al) went through the trouble of patching it up, and it's still unique, compared to other sites, so why lose that?
>> [_] Anon 1839727 >># I think it's because moot would let it rot. Updating it would make it functional and that would destroy his approach of salting the ground so that nothing can ever grow there again. /prog/ was a good board, and still is if you wade through the shit, same as /b/. There's still ingenuity and originality and quality, but less in amount and far more watered down in quality. I'm sure that some more obscure sites, the one that is obvious, are still as creative and fun as /prog/ and /vip/ used to be. Well save Shii's suffering in the moderation.
>> [_] Anon 1839734 >># moot isn't out to overtly fuck up any boards, even w4c. More likely, it's just nobody's priority. Motivated, trustworthy moderators are rare and valuable beasts. His philosophy is hands off, sure, and the spam could be solved easily enough, but at the end of the day it's just about what the users post. They make their own board what it is. My go-to for discussions like these is this epic work, "Attacked from Within": http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/3/12/ 33338/3000
>> [_] Anon 1839736 >># That seems correct on all but one point. Exclusion and obscurity do improve forums, not destroy it. Elitism is far better than all inclusion, other than that he hit it on the head.
>> [_] Anon 1839743 >># I respectfully disagree. In the general case, attracting more input and extracting the best content out of the stream will be far better than trying to keep a VIP list of who's allowed to post. It's at least a scalable solution. Elitism works for Postdam-size specialization, but look at the undeniable effectiveness of sites like StackOverflow.
>> [_] Anon 1839744 >># Obscurity means people who could potentially be great posters are less likely to contribue. Exclusion depends on implementation. The first that comes to mind, oddly enough, is fravia+'s old cracking community, where he'd accept applicants who passed a "strainer" by submitting examples of their work. If that's not relatable, MetaFilter might be considered exclusive because of the entry fee.
>> [_] Anon 1839746 >># Either way, these sites certainly limit(ed) who could post, and higher SNR because of it. But I don't think that beats out having, say, an open discussion board that rewards posters of quality/detailed/on-topic/etc content and punishes the opposite.
>> [_] Anon 1839747 >># In fact, it's long been a project idea of mine to implement a system like this (because we all know the Internet needs more forums, amirite) with its own unique quirks derived from years of wading through shit like we were discussing...
>> [_] Anon 1839751 >># >># Not elitism of who is allowed to post, but who isn't. Exclusion of people who contribute nothing or drag down the quality to a greater extent than we have here. Inclusion based on what you have done means nothing to quality, exclusion based on what you have makes places better. /f/ would be far better if moderators or even the community went out of their way to differ posters who contribute nothing and have posting styles that are worthless. A good example of this is /dqn/ people are often forced to leave because the community is very critical of outsiders and relatively obscure so it does not attract lower quality posters as much.
>> [_] Anon 1839754 >># How do we differ people if everyone is anonymous?
>> [_] Anon 1839755 >># That's one of the core points of the linked article: that individual moderators aren't a scalable solution, and ultimately, the community must be responsible for its own moderation (eg: StackOverflow, /., and dare-I-say reddit). Regarding /f/, I don't like the idea of differing/punishing posters because it's anonymity that allows creativity. moot discusses this in one of his talks, about being able to try and fail.
>> [_] Anon 1839756 >># You can usually tell who is who by how they post. It's simple really especially if they are far to one side or the other of posting, the more they fit in with the ideal the less shit that is handed to them by the idealists. People who act outside of the ideal are easy to spot, it's this hivemind mentality that allows for a wall between those in and those out where those who are in can have peaceful intelligent discussion and those out can battle with a wall of sorts made by those who recognize them as being out. If people can fit in they don't have to be old or new they just have to fall in line. >># Reddit failed in that regard to a point of being laughable. As for creativity made from anonymity, that only extends so far because a great deal of people are not creative or even intelligent and they should not be level with those who are, and moots discussion on this was just a recount of Shii's essay on the matter, which he recanted.
>> [_] Anon 1839757 >># I'm not >>#, but if you wanted a system to track anonymous posting (my hypothetical solution uses this, as does moot's current baby, canv.as [though not by default]): users sign up with a username/password, but nobody sees it. It's only for the convenience of the server tracking your set of posts, which users might vote up/down (just an example) and the server would note that. But nobody would have to see it or stand out as distinct users.

If anything, Shii was echoing 2ch.net's founder Hiroyuki about the freedom to have people consider your words without distractions like user id or registration date. The way you talk about /f/, it seems like there's a blurry line between encouraging new content that fits the existing culture and preventing new people from experimenting with the next iteration in culture...
>> [_] Anon 1839771 >># I mean people like those who go into every flash movie and post "Sauce", or those who post ill thought out responses full of emoticons and awful grammar, and those who post flash movies and want to make "/f/ OC" without even learning of what is already on here. People who don't bother being here long enough to see the established structure or go through the available resources like the archive to find things that have already been posted and demand that /f/ and anywhere else they go cater to them and become as they want it rather than try to fit in. Creativity is does not come from those people, ideals among those who belong may differ and culture change but those who do not belong bring in a culture that does not promote anything but stagnation, repetitive, and repulsion of culture.

>> [_] Anon 1839776 >># Right, assimilation is a huge hurdle, absolutely. This goes for any community. Slashdot handles this better than others in that users must earn moderation rights - not only by being regular users, but "normal" users (eg: not the guys on the site 24/7). They still allow anyone to comment, however, and (going back to my above point) I think that is working fine for them. The users spot worthy contributions from non-users and vote them to where others can see. I liked how ED used to shut off registration when there was some media event that was bringing an influx of new visitors. I think the better approach is to let people join, but slowly increase their contribution capabilities over time, (ie: "leveling up").
>> [_] Anon 1839778 >># I think flat out discouragement works best. Only those who really want to post and face being labeled as an outsider and shunned. While not permanent this at least keeps people from joining in until they understand how insiders act, and soon assimilate or leave.

On the other hand, under the anonymous system, even though your opinion/information is criticized, you don't know with whom to be upset.

I think the result you described, "it helped for a while but at some point it just stopped working and things went back to how they are again" makes perfect sense within the earlier discussion ITT. Moderation hasn't been able to scale with the site's growth. The times of increased mod activity are always complained about by some (probably few-but-loud) users, but the positive results speak for themselves. That doesn't mean ever-present mods are required for the site to function, though. It's nice, for sure, but it can't be relied upon. In its current form, 4chan's quality can improve in two ways: mods remove shitty content OR users make more/better content. Given that there are 10,000x more users than mods, which seems more likely to bet on?
>> [_] Anon 1839853 >># alt.entertainment.flash We are usenet quality now.
>> [_] Anon 1839855 >># Users are infinitely shitty, mods are always asleep I'd rather not bet at all
>> [_] Anon 1839856 >># (cont'd) Of course it'd be best to have a little of both. But there's only one you can control. So you might as well. The re/b/oot was not a call for more janitor-style moderation, but for more users-like-us moderation. And in that sense, it succeeded because we had a week of uniquely-prepared fun, unrivaled to anything I've seen on this site. I think the people calling it a "failure" ironically fail to see what it was meant to be.
>> [_] Anon 1839857 >># Are you a shitty user?
>> [_] Anon 1839858 >># Yes! I have yet to make any OC at all. All i do is complain about what i don't like and compliment what i like
>> [_] Anon 1839861 >># >># Don't worry guys, it's just one thread and we'll be done soon so /f/ can go back to hoods, ponies, and people bitching about the prevalence/lack of hoods and ponies.
>> [_] Anon 1839862 >># Now i'm scared of going back to hoods and ponies
>> [_] Anon 1839864 >># For /f/ I am, I have done nothing to help /f/ other than reminice with others. For /a/ no, I have been there a long time and contributed to discussion the culture OC and much else. For /b/ no, from 2005 to 2009 I posted on there and /a/ and created OC and discussion and helped to try to keep outsiders out, we failed but at least I helped it in it's glory and contributed till it became so bad that even I left, sometime after law and order ended when it went to complete shit.
>> [_] Anon 1839865 >># Let's make this more than one thread, I will leave when this is done but soon I hope to discuss this again and perhaps have more discussion on /f/ as a general trend because there is not enough.
>> [_] Anon 1839866 >># Seriously, you'd have to be a real hardcore browser to make flashes just for /f/
>> [_] Anon 1839867 >># Sounds like a New Year's resolution in the making. >># >Even the 10 miniute cooldown on posts did very little to stop bad posters it just made it slower. I'd forgotten about this. I doubt it was 10 min, but I remember the throttling. Kinda like how /r9k/'s unique circumstances haven't prevented it from steaming out turds consistently, it's fascinating how those environmental changes don't do much. Shitposters gonna shitpost.
>> [_] Anon 1839869 >># So we'll turn /f/ into /q/ but without incessant complaints about something the mods did/didn't do? I like this.
>> [_] Anon 1839870 >># Or just a cultist. Flash friends, xenon, the guy from world2ch all come to mind.
>> [_] Anon 1839871 >># B-but i have no idea how to flash...
>> [_] menshii 1839873 >># /q/ but only for /f/ or related to flashes that are posted rather than being /b/ with nothing but bitching about mods.
>> [_] Anon 1839875 >># Ever check out https://www.4chan.org/flash ? >># Exactry. Google is your friend (as will be Pirate Bay). It's quite sad /f/ doesn't have a way to support people in getting started (like how /trv/ or /fit/ have stickes), haha. Do 30 mins a day of dicking around, post them here asking for feedback, and you'll be better than Xenon in 2 days. Better than Zone in 2 years, but start with Xenon.
>> [_] Anon 1839876 >># By better do you mean visually better or content-wise better?
>> [_] Anon 1839877 >># Hell you'll be better than Brian OKK Redatz in an hour.
>> [_] Anon 1839878 >># If what you're saying is true. Imagine if everyone on /f/ could be arsed to make flashes. Holy shit. The glory.
>> [_] Anon 1839879 >># I'll be honest, I fucking hate most everything Xenon touches, but that's just his screami.. "humor" and mine not matching up. That said, I'm super happy for what he contributed (and possibly still does). As I mentioned before in >>#, OC is just too precious a thing to hate on (ultimately discouraging authors from continuing to improve).
>> [_] Anon 1839883 >># It was actually CENSORED VAGINA's page here on manga editing that got me and a friend to translate a few volumes" http://www.insidescanlation.com/etc/Cens ored-Vaginas-Quick-Manga-Editing-Guide/ma nga_guide/ Little things like this - showing someone the basics - go a long way.
>> [_] Anon 1839886 >This whole seeriuz discushun started because someone didn't know who Shii is
>> [_] Anon 1839890 >># HURRO DIS IS AN INTENET ANIMASHUN
>> [_] Anon 1839893 >># It was fun. I like reminiscing like this, and I suspect particulars like "Shii" or "re/b/oot" catch the eyes of oldfags, and bring them out of their crusty, cynical shells. The hard part is then moving the discussion beyond "X was better back then" and into more productive territory...
>> [_] Anon 1839894 >># LOL SO RANDUM XD
>> [_] Anon 1839895 >># It's never going to be productive This thread will no longer exist tomorrow
>> [_] Anon 1839896 >># Nope. That was me. I typed it intentionally to see whether someone would reply. Worst that could have happened would be everyone assuming the Shii in the post being a typo error for >What is this shit?
>> [_] Anon 1839898 Also, http://swfchan.net/13/BOTNFFV.shtml
>> [_] Anon 1839899 >># Heh, I love when this works. Few realize you can "troll" to get meaningful answers/reactions - not just HE MAD type stuff. "Shii" is never even mentioned in the flash. Good work, brah.
>> [_] Anon 1839900 >># So... Did you like the results?
>> [_] Anon 1839902 >># We're all here for a reason, yea? >># The ideas brought out in the thread will live in the heads of the people who read it. The death of the thread is inevitable, so why worry about it?
>> [_] Anon 1839904 >># I guess the results were a little bit better than expected. Also, i really hope the ideas thought up in this thread get implemented within my lifetime. They are seriously great.
>> [_] Anon 1839905 >># lol Looking back at some of his stuff, it's actually quite charming. https://www.4chan.org/flash?file=SageMan .swf&title=Sage+Man I always laugh when teh reidicks come out...
>> [_] Anon 1839906 >># Best thread that I've ever had on /f/. Funny thing is that I have just five posts in this entire thread and most of them are mundane. The most memorable threads are those which are most unexpected.
>> [_] Anon 1839907 >97 replies >/f/ what.
>> [_] Anon 1839912 >># Oh, related to >>#'s resolution, anyone have brotips on guides for making flash loops? I'm able to Google, but I want to know if you guys have any particular suggestions.
