Wanna know why I brang a shitstorm upon myself? Attention! The only fucking way I can get anyones attention these days is to make a scene.
WTFux and IICHAN will not merge until a proper democratic decision has been made by the majority of iichan and WTFux moderators, as well as VIP's and general users of both communities.
Discuss here, comrades.
i agree with this merger :o
i am against wtfux merging with iichan, but only because i'm fully of fear of loosing "the" wtfux i know. but since i see no other way, GO AHEAD AND DO IT.
i'm for the merger plzzzz. i think this will be good for us. already things seem better. we can also weed people out this way. c'moooon.
I don't have a big preference one way or another, as long as the idiocy is kept to a minimum, preferably through technological means (I'm looking at you, BlackMage.)
Trolling via subterfuge is fine, though. It tickles me that most of those kids still haven't gotten the joke.
WTFux has already had a democratic vote and we are for the merger.
There were some people that disagreed with the merger; You people feel free to share your opinions here. t('.'t)
as long as no wtfux dumbshits touch 4-ch, i'm fine with it.
Also, stay out of niche anime because I go to those boards sometimes too.
And dear god PLEASE drop the camwhore board - it encourages the highest forms of fucking idiocy possible.
God I hate wtfux.
idlechan has never been bad, but with wtfux around, you guys are sure to fail it pretty hard.
Don't do it.
and >>1-7 all have handles.
see, this is the problem with iichan and wtfux.
I like the idea of a wtfux and iichan (IIFUX) merge. It makes me cream my pants whenever I think of the idea.
BRACE FOR IMPACT! WTFUX AND IICHAN MERGE!
>>8
/cams/ is a essential part of wtfux and is probably not going to be dropped.
-☭
>>9
I am sorry, Lain!YsrYiS7Bco has called for "VIP & moderator" opinions.
And I still don't get why this is discussed here and not on the iichan discussion board. 4-ch.net isn't iichan.
>-☭
...Soviet Russia, that you?
Does this Soviet Russia will be around these parts?
I'm ready to throw my computer out the window.
I for one think this could be a good thing, just as long as nobody panics or forgets to delegate power and organize with a way for ops/mods to talk amongst eachother, etc.
Oh and dont turn into greedy power hungry mofos like ahem some other chans do :)
>>14
AFAIK, that's just some fancy unicode gimmick of the wtfux crowd.
Dropping the handle now.
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that, as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
Hey, as long as the IRC environment is still COCKS COCKS LOL, I'm good.
ZWARRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>14
no, SovietRussia probably would POST as SovietRussia#deadjew, like always. I'm ☭/A4A
-☭
For the most part, I am not opposed to the merger. Except for the fact that it brings a sudden influx of somewhat baka users into the channel and the website, that will take some getting used to. And the name. I don't like how iifux sounds very much. Perhaps an all new website name shoud be thought up?
Oh yeah. >>6 mentioned it. I won't mind it too much as long as the new people behave (more or less ^^;) and everything doesn't degrade into one big cesspool of *chan idiocy. If this post made any sense. o.O
I made my point. Carry on, peoples~ Long live iichan!
who the hell are all of you?
the only one i've heard of is lolocaust.
Goddamnit. This is gay and i'm sad :(
This is an open debate. I will take all opinions objectionally.
Also, dis.iichan.net is acting funky and I don't know why. WAHa needs to look at it.
> who the hell are all of you?
Some people from iichan/wtfux
No idea why they sought 4-ch.net to discuss all of this
I'm not aware of iichan having a whole lot that wtfux doesn't except for a furry board, /gay and /cams. I've never heard a peep out of any wtfux furries; but I rarely left the random boards so I'm not the best one to ask.
As far as trolling goes, half of the time I post on (iichan)/b/ it's deleted; the mods don't let crap sit (and fester). I don't think that it's going to be a problem.
Hell, since there isn't a board on iichan which is going to tolerate anything remotely resembling loli, SoRu should be happy; and that ought to cut down on the chances of over-the-top flooding anyway.
In my opinion, you should treat this as a trial run for when 4chan dies 6 months from now, after moot burns through the 11k they are spending on servers. That's when the shit will really hit the fan!
>>23
Probably the /wcd/ board isn't updated to the latest Kareha version.
Older versions couldn't handle some special characters (which I assume are in the IRC logs somehow) and resulted in XML parsing errors.
Just update your board and you'll be fine.
just get the fuck off 4-ch and i'll be happy! We don't want morons here, we want SERIOUS posters who UNDERSTAND an ANONYMOUS BBS and it's culture, and how it differs from wtfux and iichan. Where's Squeeks? He'd save us.
>>27
Dude, just chill, okay? No use in getting all angry, although I understand.
And Squeeks is around. AFAIK, he's not too happy with the decision, either. But hey, DRAM, ATTENTION, LOLZ INTERNET!
oh geez.
squeeks is being squeeks sup squeeks oh hey did i mention im a wtfuxer? lol anon
>>28
I'm not actually worked up, just worried. my use of "!" and caps is just me panicing that 4-ch will be infested.
This has seriously risen to be my favorite site on all of the internet and I'd like to keep it the way it is. More users are great, but this isn't quite what I was hoping for. . .
>>30
honestly..we wont invade 4-ch even when we had our own forum boards they wernt even used that much you got nothing to fear really
I feel this thread would have been better placed in the DQN board...
>>31 OH PLEASE. YES PEOPLE WERE. his spamming got fucking old. and always ruined it for everyone else.
>>32
oh okay cool.
I, ☭Normal-chan approve of this merger.
I'm already excited because as I stated, so far:
<normal-chan> coming to iichan is like moving into a really giant house with lots of legroom and there's already stuff to eat in the fridge and there's like some really good sushi bar only a block away :[
<normal-chan> THIS IS A MILESTONE IN INTERNET HISTORY
<normal-chan> PEOPLE WILL PONDER AND SCHOLARS WILL STUDY THIS MOMENT FOR YEARS
<normal-chan> THIS IS LIKE VOLTRON COMBINING TO FORM THE GIANT ROBOT
<normal-chan> Oh also
<normal-chan> I /r/ banner related to that
<normal-chan> 8)
Also, for those of you who are opposed to this merging, I would like to point out (quoted from foto-chan who quoted from the board meeting I missed earlier):
"I'll close WTFux until I feel I have the resourced needed to run it."
-Comrade Cho0b
So I mean... I guess that somewhat implies that it will come back... also as I believe Lain stated on the front page of iichan earlier "WTFux has a wide user base but far too few resources, while IICHAN's userbase is smaller and has far too many resources." So I mean... it's not like every member of 4chan is raiding on our smaller, more close, friendly community...
iichan's a nice place, most of the people I've talked with are nice people. So that's just one wtfuxor's opinion.
Love,
☭Normal-chan
PS: We'll jarbl your harbl
>>37
I dislike wtfux.
you guys are too ":D~~" for life. From my experince there, you all seem pretty anti-4chan too. Why? or is wtfux REALLY almost 100% completly made up of banned 4chan rejects?
>>32 We need a random (discussion) and /gay board; other than that, most of the discussion boards weren't used that often, I agree.
How will this affect the boards not hosted directly on iichan, such as roexpose, humblefool, koichan, 1chan, etc etc etc?
> "I'll close WTFux until I feel I have the resourced needed to run it."
I don't really have a problem with that. I don't even understand why that's a problem at all. WHAT does cho0b lack exactly, anyways? The ressources for all of wtfux? Or even what little it takes to just cover /cams/ and the random board?
>>40
no idea i didnt even though half of them existed next question.
>>38
4chan is run by and caters to a fairly immature audience; what's to like? And the "100% banned" has a lot to do with the fact that snacks and crew tend to automatically ban people who they know post onto wtfux; regardless of their behavior on 4chan.
>>40
Influx of new and exciting users from the sidebar, I guess.
>>41
they use over 120gb a month and and the number is still going up considering wtfux just barely started a few months back chances are it wont last much longer with its rate of growth and the constant drama
>>45
So the idea is what, that iichan is going to host the boards that caused the 120gb a month + constant drama?
Oh yes, and on the note of SovietRussia#deadjew...
Sources tell me that he has been eaten by the giant online monster that is World of Warcraft. And from my personal experience, he's a very infamous troll, but he's really not that bad. It's not like he's going to individually hunt you down and lay eggs in your anus via sodomy (but ya nevar know amirite?).
Soru is kinda like a cheeky schoolboy, only he occassionally floods gore pics and gay porn. Mostly on 4chan though, so meh meh lol
>>46
yeah pretty much, please be gentle its our first time
>>48-49
It's like we're being forced to marry some uberbitch because of tribal laws or something lol
>>50
hahaha, yeah you got it.
Please give the wtfux kids their own official IRC channel.
I mean, shit.
>>53
they have one, but i don't know where it is.
<h1 align="center"><blink><font size="7" color="#555500">The IRC Server is - wtfuxnet.ath.cx #wtfux</font></blink></h1>
>>53
We have or own server, but you already knew that Dru.
The IRCD is also something I'm willing to share with iichan.
if the ircd is still up, then why the invasion? I thought that meant you'd taken it down and they didn't have anywhere else to go.
Well, if it's just about the hosting, then I don't really see why wtfux would have to be integrated into the sidebar and all.
As I have seen in the past, the regulars there didn't like being linked from the iichan sidebar anyway.
So why not just donate the bandwidth/subdomain to them and be done with it?
>>58
Definatly the best idea.
>>8 "dear god PLEASE drop the camwhore board- it encourages the highest forms of fucking idiocy possible."
Worst idea ever. keep cam whores on cams and you contain this "idiocy" you speak of.
Same goes for all the boards. If everyone stays respectful there should be no problems glares at direspectfuls
>>9 ">>1-7 all have handles.
see, this is the problem with iichan and wtfux."
This is not a problem at all. This is just a contained discussion on some internet communities, whose memebers have identities. Dont be a disrespectful phantom please. Cheell
>>20 The name shouldn't change much. It could be like bijin or cosplay couldn't it? http://wtfux.org/iichan.net or something like that
>>22 "soru was already pretty much exiled from wtfux" When did this happen?
I approve: Link to a WTFUX front page with /cams/ /cats/ /sci-fi/ /movies/ /and whatever else isn't a board double/
> This is just a contained discussion on some internet communities, whose memebers have identities
"Identities" are mostly not needed. Having a handle doesn't make you automatically respectful or worth to be respected. If 4-ch.net wanted "identities" for everyone, this would have been another phbb board or something which it is not. Please respect this.
Also, adress opinions and posts with >>##, that suffices most of the time.
>>new and exciting users
Debatable.
Why call this a merger? Just have the wtfux boards on the sidebar. No big deal. Is there something more special about them than any other Wakachan type entity?
If the merge will be mutually beneficial, as you say it will be, I say do it. I don't care about whether or not either iichan or WTFux stays "pure," just so long as I can download porn, kittens, and Flash movies at a reasonable speed.
>>64
Well, so far wtfux has been a haven for those banned from all other places (considerably changed over the last few months, though)& self-admitted trolls with a strong sense for "We have tripcodes & are community yargh!" which went as far as lashing out against wakachan for linking their camboard.
I just feel that this won't play out and I think it's totally dumb to discuss this first on IRC only in a matter of a few minutes, then announce a final move decision, then incite a "VIP" discussion with the ultimatum of wtfux dying otherwise in the back.
Do we have to change our name?
Seriously, what do they have to offer that we can't do already? We're just taking their board links and adding to our own.
...No.
Eh. This can be a prelude to eventual popularity. Just scatter their unique boards in the sidebar, or even under a WTFUX tab, and hope they bring some life into the place. Several of the boards could use it.
I agree with >>65
I'd like to have a /furi to moderate over with an iron fist. (And I don't even care too much about that.)
The way this was handled, from the suprise IRC announcement, to the inital discussion and disgust, to this very thread shows not much planning went into this.
Still, this is the best idea I can think of right now to actually decide where we go from here while letting everyone express their views against iiFUX since IRC goes at 100 lines a minute.
TBH, I want to know more about what the proposed merger means to me -- the immigrant. I'd like to hear what boards will stay and what gets bahleeted as of now, and who gets mod status, etc.
Whatever's not ruled by Snacks is fine.
I'm getting my own board out of this so I'm cool with it 8)
Here's what I think. I was all for this push, and I guess the minute Lain hopped on board was the minute it was "official". I didn't think cho0b would go for it, but now that I believe most of WTFux is all for it, I think it's a good thing for iichan. WTFux has a community which is active and contains users who are fun to post with. IIChan mostly contains rabid people with a hankering for niche boards, and pseudojapanese anons. The "funloving" community had mostly migrated to WTFux, and there are several ex-iichan members who would like to join up with their comrades again, and vice versa.
I approve of this merger. Furthermore, IIChan + WTFux > 4chan AM I RITE?????????
> The "funloving" community had mostly migrated to WTFux
lol no
it's true, those guys have a community spirit which is easy to participate in. IIChan's random board feels like reprocessed 2chan in a cup
To be honest, all of western imgboards' random boards have been failures when compared to Futaba Channel. Even 4chan's /b/ doesn't "get" it but hey, it's fun to post gore, make nigger & jew jokes and behave like huge faggots all the time. That's community spirit alright!
If that's the kind of fun you're looking for, 4chan is the place to go, really. But do we really want to go into this here?
I'm not a fan of the merger, but if it has to be, then it has to be. And for all the faggots out there insulting WTFux:
You will be trolled. Hard and long with a huge cock.
>>78
Yeah, you're the kind of user I was wary of when I opposed this.
Gee, I can just feel the love between the two communities here.
> dis.iichan.net is acting funky and I don't know why
Less funky than world4ch is at the moment. rimshot
>>80
I don't think anyone can speak for a whole community. It'd be impossible to do something like this without at least a little bitching going on.
>>79
Yeah, you little faggot. I LOVE BEING ANONYMOUS, I'M A SOCIAL OUTCAST, LAWL
We all have names because we're all friends. We know each other, it grows a tight-knit sense of community, totally unlike this "let's stay anonymous" faggotry. I'll enjoy posting here with a name all the time just because it pisses you off.
So stop using anonymous board software.
>>81
No, it doesn't make them bad. That wasn't my point, either.
But I think the majority of the happy-go-lucky-troll crowd of wtfux would be happier at some register-only forum like SomethingAwful or whatever.
It doesn't really matter, though. This thread isn't about japanisu imgboards.
WTFUX IS NOT 100% TRIPCODE FAGGOTS.
>>85
HI HELLO. THIS BOARD GIVES ME THE OPTION TO USE A NAME.
That's craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think most of you need a more open mind and perhaps the stick up your collective asses needs to be removed.
>>85
There's a choice to be anonymous. No one is forcing it. Notice, I'm typing my name into the NAME BOX. DENOTING ONE SHOULD TYPE A NAME IN.
> WTFUX IS NOT 100% TRIPCODE FAGGOTS.
Though all I've seen on your board was constant bashing of Anonymous people.
> HI HELLO. THIS BOARD GIVES ME THE OPTION TO USE A NAME.
HI HELLO. I AM CONSIDERING ASKING SQUEEKS TO ENABLE FORCED_ANON FOR A FEW DAYS! ALSO, IF PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FAG UP THIS THREAD, I MIGHT JUST DELETE IT.
So stop it, please. <3
>>88
You were the one who started the bashing of chosing to post as Anonymous. Stop being a hypocrite.
>>89
Wait you haven't been bashing "tripcoded faggots?"
>HI HELLO. I AM CONSIDERING ASKING SQUEEKS TO ENABLE FORCED_ANON FOR A FEW DAYS! ALSO, IF PEOPLE CONTINUE TO FAG UP THIS THREAD, I MIGHT JUST DELETE IT.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. I hope you're not like this all the time. Censorship is lame.
>Though all I've seen on your board was constant bashing of Anonymous people.
It's more like anonymous come and bash people with names and then those people get angry at anonymous and think everyone is the same person. Maybe that's why some anonymous should be thoughtful and put some time into their posts instead of saying whatever the hell they want.
Eric, stop being such an ass. I love you but you're being very asinine.
How the fuck am I being a hypocrite? Maybe one could read my words backward there. My point is:
IT IS POSSIBLE TO POST AS ANONYMOUS, BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY PREFERRED TO HAVE A NAME THAN BE AN ANONYMOUS FAGGOT. STOP BEING A SOCIAL OUTCAST HIDING BEHIND YOUR OPINIONS BECAUSE NO ONE WILL FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE.
> How the fuck am I being a hypocrite?
You gave out heat and then couldn't take it when it was returned.
> Censorship is lame.
I agree but there is no easy way to move threads (DQN would really be more appropriate for this thread). I might just permasage it, though.
I would also think it's wonderful if we could give this names/anonymous issue a rest now. One last remark though:
> BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY PREFERRED TO HAVE A NAME THAN BE AN ANONYMOUS FAGGOT.
No, you're wrong. But if you wish to further discuss this, please go here, read the thread and then enlighten us there:
http://wakaba.c3.cx/soc/kareha.pl/1110953600
This thread is now about wtfux/iichan merge again.
from this thread we have learned the nature of anonymous is that of a whining crybaby
> This thread is now about wtfux/iichan merge again.
Ah, the neverending battle between the anonymous internet tough guys and the elitist tripcode faggots.
Well, have fun with that.
State of the thread:
Admins:
Both have been pretty reasonable, although cho0b couldn't resist the dig at the Anonymous troll.
Winner: Lain.
Trolls:
Pretty lame. You have a minor crisis here, with heightened emotions on both sides, and the best both sides can do are the blunt insults and obvious digs? Come on.
Winner: No one.
Reasonable people:
I think most people are just afraid their happy, known culture will be uprooted. Based on what I've seen so far, I doubt a full merge is going to work. A separate presence is possible, but a little sad. If Lain or someone else could give some good reasons or methods for a fuller merge?
