  /f/ needs to have 150 threads like any other board, without a date time limit termination. It is
  necessary, in it will solve many lacking issues without changing much.
  Just 10MB fixed files per thread in a text only board, come on, don't tell me it can't be done.
  Just one "random day gay wave" in a single moment wipes out the whole board. It is impossible to
  engage around a thread here. Just increasing the thread amount and let the threads sink down like

  Fortunately there's still newfags interested in flash. That would seem to be obvious after the
  flash apocalypse and an universe of users left out in the cold. But, still, /f/ seems to be
  designed to kill any interest left in flash.

  Zeitgeist is finished on /f/, if you post zeitgeist you will be banned. Even posting those

  If you check swfchan, that's where zeitgeist is posting now.

  nta, but as one who doesn't like those "thursgay" string of flashes, my intention is not to get
  rid of those, but to point out the obvious, that there's not enough space to accommodate those
  "happy trains" along with the rest of the threads.
  /f/ needs a change, because there's no other place to have a community exchange around flash
  anymore. SwfChan is not a place for that, and I ain't making an account on Newgrounds just to
  have a little bit of anonymous fun with flash along with a little community circle.
  Why can't we have just a standard board like everyone else here? We don't even ask for image
  posting. We just need enough space for everyone, even the goddam gachi-faggots. I don't even care
  about that, but if one happy train of faggots will wipe the whole board in a minute, then I do

  >I ain't making an account on Newgrounds
  Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to enjoy any type of modern flash community. Despite the
  fact that Tom Fulp has ruffle enabled on Newgrounds (woopty fuckin doo), flash movies/games need
  at 75 votes in order to pass judgement these days. That means 75 individual modern Newgrounds
  users, who are no older than 8 years old and only there for fnf related movies/fangames, would
  have to figure out how to navigate the site well enough to vote for your movie.
  The main reason for this change is exactly what you might expect. When the great Tumblr exodus of
  2018 happened, he welcomed all the furries and SJWs with open arms, and encouraged them to make
  Newgrounds their own; Fulp wholeheartedly hates Newgrounds' older content, and most of all, he
  hates the old flash spam groups. Anything you have ever seen on /f/, he lumps in with old flash
  spam. Even if the flash spam is creative and actually funny.
  Like others have said, /f/ is really important and basically the only place left on the internet
  (that has a chance to survive) to share your love of flash. I still see original flashes being
  posted onto /f/, albeit minimum effort loops and anime oriented animation experiments. If only
  this place had like 20+ active users, and weekly spammers decided to slow their fucking role, the
  few new artists that experiment with flash would strive to improve and make even cooler stuff, if
  people actually paid attention to it.

>> [_] Anonymous 09/09/23(Sat)11:30:42 No.

  That can be fixed with more threads, like the rest of the boards in this site. That's all.

  I'm saying that because, those spammers are the beating heart of the board even when I hate their
  shit spam, they keep the board alive, and they also are the constant viewers of whatever new
  thing appears here. And if a new janny comes along to ban them and take that shit away from them,
  that would be a mistake I think.
  The board needs more room period, it's not that complicated.

>> [_] Anonymous 09/09/23(Sat)15:20:21 No.

  Also the "anime rule" needs to be updated to allow original content here, or just taken out of

  enforce that nonsense and make this board automatically non-viable and unusable. And there goes

  Yep, it sure is newfags in here.
  Learn to respect traditions.
  Change traditions yourself over time if you want to.
  Like SimDate guy literally popped up some weeks ago.
  Gachi wasn't a thing of the old times. It just appeared one day. And it is already dying out with
  the death of Aniki. Both can be seen as good or bad it doesn't matter.
  /f/ is like the weekend friend you come to visit only to watch the same old shit you are familiar
  with.
  But it is comforting. The rest of the internet shows what happens when you don't have that
  anymore.
  You can make and post original flashes any other day. Enough time to have anons see it. If you
  don't at least spend 10 min every day checking the page you aren't a real /f/ag anyhow.
  Sure it's not arousing to see the same flashes every weekday. But there are enough of them to not
  have the same ones every week.
  You want an endless board of 0 reply threads? Just browse swfchan.
  You want only /generals/? On /f/ every thread is equal. If you cannot communicate a thread over
  2-3 days, what is the point anyway? Endless political banter? Shitpost reply of the day?

  I've seen some threads rise over 300 posts. Where there is a meme there is a thread.

  >>3499097
  Then post them parallel. There are multiple flash boards and some of them are better or worse for

  Or better just post a daily update. And read the archived thread to see the replies. Do you think
  you're the first person to develop a flash under these conditions?

  >desperate factions
  Haha, oh wow.

  I think you misunderstand how /f/ works.
  It's like a "best of" the flash world.
  You participate in multiple communities on many boards and sites, some flash related some not.
  And then you come together so show or discuss your finds or create a flash for that meme.
  It's not a persistent archive or forum with continuous discussion. It's not a community
  repository or flash developer tutorial.
  There are archives and forums for that (though who knows after the "death" of flash).

  Banning direct videos in SWF would result in the loss of a unique culture that doesn't exist
  anywhere else due to the way /f/ serves as a special home space where people upload content for
  everyone to see. It's a format that is unparalleled, and the way you promote material changes the
  culture of the board. For example, you won't find anything similar on YouTube, Google, /wsh/, or
  any other site on the web.

  What do you honestly think is going to happen?
  To /f/ if you make it way longer and stop some of the spamming?
  I think it would decline, and you're going to lose a lot of the culture that exists on /f/.
  /f/ has always been filled with people spamming.
  If you look back at some of the archives or /f/
  2018: https://archive.4plebs.org/f/page/5000/
  2016: https://archive.4plebs.org/f/page/10000/
  2014: https://archive.4plebs.org/f/page/19000/
  Yeah, it could be noted that the culture of /f/ has changed a little, but
  you might not appreciate every part of the culture on /f/, but that's a shame.
  Of course, /f/ is a place that doesn't exist anywhere else on the internet and has a
  long-standing culture.
  It would be a shame to change it because it's probably going to decline.
  It will never be anything like it again.
  So I really hope your wishes don't succeed.

>> [_] Anonymous 09/09/23(Sat)18:33:16 No.

  Some might say /f/ has been a circle-jerk of a long dead culture, but if you look at the archives,

  Flashnews fellow anon, Flash is dead. And there's no other place to go and have a community like

  The reason why I'm worried is that the platform shapes the culture. That's why Discord is an
  awful place, as are Facebook, Yahoo, and Instagram. You can't have a vibrant culture on these
  platforms because of the way they're set up. It would never survive, and the communities would
  die. I think the culture of /f/ is much more closely tied to the very short attention span of /f/

  You know what I mean.. Of course 4CH is a public open site, but it's anonymous. Discord is not.
  You need e-mail verification (FFFFFUCK THAT), etc. What I mean is that this is a tiny circle of
  interested people, if you're here that's because you enjoy it. And that's clear when you read
  through this thread.

  >All flashes are automatically uploaded to swfchan anyway
  I know, of course that all of this gets archived. Don't mind me, I'm just ranting, like what's
  the point of archiving a sample, a test, or a wip swf? But whatever, it's not in our hands.

  And about the rest, I understand what you say, but look at this thread. "Something" happened in
  between all these years. Flash got erased from the face of the earth which is still mind-boggling
  to me. So circumstances are not the same as before. You have developers and posters clashing here
  for the only little room available.
  I understand that giving free roam to an interactive format with scripts and hidden content can
  become a Fukushima event. But the board already exists, and have existed for decades, and the
  only thing that I would like is just extending that tiny list some hundred more slots and adding
  more time to get feedback, and that's it, just keep the rest the same. No image posting, just one

  What /f/ might benefit from is an archive, like most other boards. So that you can refresh a

  Many of the developer notes throughout later versions, there were many many many many many notes
  on "security" and how adobe was trying to handle it. I was looking thru the code reference for
  flash 8 online and its like a world of stuff on touting its security.
  This was a decade before Vice news showed off a hacker group hacking someones computer using just
  flash, because activeX opens up everything. Time went on, flash wanted microphone and cam access

  It's not about the archive. It's about the thread's life extension. It's useless for feedback if
  someone took time to make a masterpiece like the dischofrenia man. That shit should be up, and
  now it's already gone. Something is wrong here. It shouldn't work like that.

  This is the real interesting shit of course. I still read conspiracy theories about it. That it
  wasn't about the "security", that it was because new technologies just wanted to push flash to
  the trash. That adobe just couldn't afford the necessary investment needed to update flash
  technology.
  I believe that flash was too much freedom to give for free. It was too easy to produce. And that
  was a huge issue for other parties.
  About the security issues, come on, look at android, I-phones IOS, WhatsApp, facebook, google
  account, all the million apps installed in our phones and browsers. Today talking about flash
  security issues sounds like a joke. But that's today of course. How powerful was ActionScrip2? I
  just use that, and I can't do a lot of shit that AS3 does. And that's ancient shit.

  But what you need is already there.
  Archives already exists. You're good anon. Don't worry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Well yea, to a point. I've heard people speculate on bill gates wanting to dominate the console
  market because nerds were able to install linux on the PS2 and PS3 and he thought those systems
  were a threat. I'm just sayin the documentation on touting flash's security to the contrary was
  like, super abundant, with over a hundred articles.

  Yes, it's absolutely clear that the security angle was the one chosen to present this historical
  atrocity. But it never made sense to me, when all the security issues that I've ever had, were
  never ever related to "flash" but every other things around for sure. Like browsers, plug-ins,
  apps, system and game updates, "anti-virus", a million things but flash. It was very weird. On
  the contrary I did had many other reason to explain why flash needed "to go", but none of those
  were presented even as a posibility in media at all.

  but /f/ IS dead. apart from videos converted to flash format, there is literally zero new content
  whatsoever

  After reading this thread, I understand the points of anons who think /f/ should stay exactly as
  it is, but in its current form it's just going to decay over the coming years, with more oldfags
  leaving and newfags joining. Even though as other anons have said, making sweeping changes to /f/
  has a chance of ruining board culture, if the only choices we have are to watch it rot, kill it
  outright, or see what it evolves into given the chance, my choice would definitely be the latter.
  And if we're going to make changes, it should be before more oldfags jump ship so that they're
  more likely to affect the board culture of nu-/f/.

  >>3499143
  oldfags leaving is inevitable, you can only slow it down. id say ive practically left /f/ at this
  point, i only check in every now and again.
  this is the same with literally everywhere. yeah i boardhopped to different boards, but like what
  does it matter? all you can do is make a place that attracts the right people

  >just one swf file per thread as always
  then just why not extend /f/ to 60 or 100 flashes at once

  >>3499146
  I don't quite get your idea anon... individual threads are still necessary.
  Though image posting could be awesome and very useful.
  >>3499145
  oldfags won't leave if they have enough variety, for that, it's necessary just more room.

  For anyone interested, I recommend installing 4chanX v 1.14.21.7 specifically.
  https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/441741-4chan-x-pinkcatgoodactually?version=1029923
  As it was the last one for legacy captcha support which still exists on /f/. So you can use the
  non sucking google captcha and it even autofills the form.
  It redirects dead thread links (like in your follow list) to 4plebs automatically, so you can
  read up on dead threads. Also it has a button to search a thread filename automatically on
  swfchan. Very useful.

  >>3499133
  Yeah, it takes no mastermind to know that Javascript is even anything BUT more secure than flash
  was. And most sites don't even load a background without scripts enabled.
  The flash security was just a front. Not an imaginary front, but exaggerated as a scapegoat. They
  could have done a LOT of things about that. Not even giving you the choice to run flash anymore
  if you even wanted to hack your browser, surely wasn't the most neccessary one.

  >>3499139
  Oh come on, I just posted a new loop some days ago. But surely, it's still derivative content. I
  never like -drew- something from scratch in flash or anything. Artists ... yeah they moved on and
  that is the biggest nail on flash's coffin.

  >>3499145
  Like I said, the main reason I like /f/'s smoll page is that it's easy to catch up an entire
  day's worth of flashes.
  Having many pages just makes it a more daunting task to keep up and eventually demotivates you to
  keep up with every thread and more importantly file posted. Like swfchan for example.

  even the perfect setup would still leak. plus what do you actually want from oldfags? I have gbs
  of flash archived but its all in the archives anyway. you wanna keep certain day spamming active?
  or what? genuinely curious
