i'm looking at it this way:

if people can sign up instantly through an array of social logins (and they can), with no verification/scrutiny on this end, then there's no reason to suddenly get restrictive once they do sign up. 

i like the 4chan idea of no login required, and i'm about four steps ahead of you on that... but spam is my only concern.  ultimately this is where things are headed once i overcome the spam worries.  there are some people who won't like it, but that's the case with any and every change that's made around here.

People will complain about any changes. But going to the proposed system is a huge change and a huge gamble. I think it will either blowup and increase traffic or turn this place into fantastic forum. Honestly, I think the 4chan system wouldn't work for Bellgab. Just my two cents.

i don't think it will work either mostly because no one cares about Art Bell anymore

I wouldn't think enough money exists in the world to make taking care of this place worthwhile, to be honest, even with the relatively laissez-faire approach you seem to have taken.  The nonsense seems positively unremitting.   

I can only conclude that your compensation takes the form of lorryloads of hookers as well as cash (good taste would, of course, preclude any mention of the former).

heh heh, that line got an "lol" out of me.

Please pardon the long response.  But I have been here awhile... And like that long running, rather lame Bellgab joke went, I might feel "invested."  (That was the word, right?)

Quote from: 21st Century Man on November 14, 2016, 06:20:53 PM
I don't particularly like the change.  I like to know who I'm dealing with although it may be fun for a joke every now and then.
I'm starting close to the beginning of this latest "debate."  I guess I will say that I am unlikely to ever not be WOTR.  I feel that I like interacting with people I know, and I prefer people to interact with a person they feel they know.  I am a bit of a bastard in some posts.  Some posts I am a little sarcastic and post like a far right or left winger to make fun of them (do you like the swastikas in my eyes?)  But most people get the joke because they "know" me to an extent.

honestly, i don't recall a time when things were really that chummy around here to begin with.  that's what comes to mind reading your "fify" quote.

The place always had an "edge"- but it was a little blunted.  I am old and do not like change- so I'm not a huge fan of the idea... I kind of think it may bring out a hone to get that edge that I enjoy razor sharp and cut more than might be healthy.

That said, I will continue to hang around and see where it goes.  I suspect that given the option most of the regular posters (at least the ones I have any respect for and whose posts I enjoy) will keep screen names that make them identifiable.  And if they don't- maybe it will still be good.  If it gets stupid, I'm sure that if I spend several thousand hours scouring the internet, I will find another forum to ruin...

... so I'm not a huge fan of the idea...

I also don't really get the changing your username thing.  I prefer the traditional style of abandoning the site forever in a big dramatic meltdown then signing back up a few days later under a new account.

WOTR

Interesting.  I was going to make my first every 4chan post... was even going to use WOTR as the displayed name and when I hit post?  Banned. 

Apparently you can improve on 4chan by NOT banning my damn VPN.  ;)

A time honoured tradition since the earliest days of the internet.  :D

VPN and TOR are banned on 4chan. They're allowed on 8chan. See you there.


Also don't namefag. That's bad etiquette

I'll bite.  WTF is "namefag?"

JesusJuice

I just thought of something. Someone should make /bellgab/ on 8chan. Then we can use that as a bunker whenever bellgab.com shits the bed. I don't want to make it myself simply because I don't want to be a board owner.

So, I looked it up.  It was going to be a throw away post on a sports thread for a team that I had never heard of in a foreign country...  Just to make one post for the hell of it.  I will go back with the VPN off and use the handle "theONE" instead.  Should be good for an evening of fun.

As for 8chan... There is a lot of trash there at a first glance.  However, in the philosophy section I did find this gem...



JesusJuice

The correct url for 8chan is 8ch.net

The one that shows up in Google is something else. Google is censoring it.

Thanks... I did find that it did not show up on google... and then I found my way around it (not bad for an old fart*.)  ;)  Image came from the http://8ch.net/philosophy/index.html thread.  I may spend more time on 8 (or 4) chan... But so far I have not seen anything worth sticking around there for.

*I say "old fart" as I'm pretty certain that I am one of the older posters on those boards.  A quick search suggests that the average 4chan poster was born in the mid 90's- which also might explain why it does not appeal to me at a first glance... Fucking whippersnappers.  Get off my lawn!
