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.
>>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?
Your trolls started it by bashing WTFux. This "merger" simply won't work, IMO.
Yeah well, if you have a point to make about which statement was wrong or insulting or whatever you were and still are free and welcome to do so objectively by simply adressing the statement made.
Blanket threats of "YOU ARE GOING TO GET TROLLED! HARD!" or lashing out against a certain type of poster which is accepted on here (whether you like that or not) is not helping anyone in this issue.
I don't see a problem with iichan and wtfux merging.
If wtfux doesn't have the resources to run the place any longer, and we have spare resources, why not take wtfux boards on and save them. After all, distributing spare resources is what WAKAchan was all about.
I agree with the merge of wtfux into iichan.
> After all, distributing spare resources is what WAKAchan was all about.
True, however, there have always been boards that were ruled out by the admins, most notably some burichan boards (R.I.P.).
I also remember a little fight/misunderstanding between Lain & BlackMage about whether pics of underage women were allowed to be posted on the Sexy Women board.
Just saying this to point out that it's not always just been a matter of "okay hay let's host everybody here, cool". As funny as that would be.
WTFUX = cool guys
IICHAN = introverted geeks
discussion is over
Perhaps this discussion could be moved to iichan, it dosn't seem like a suitable topic here. 4-ch.net has nothing to do with either parties, people, tripcodes and trolls.
I like how 4-ch is slowly moving away from all this Wapanese bullshit, the last thing we need is to be bombarded with the scourge of wtfux.
>>108
Agreed on the move to the actual iichan discussion boards.
However, Lain seems to regard this as the "official" place to talk about the whole shebang.
Lain should fix his boards and make a new thread there IMHO.
i guess i dont mind as long as it doesnt negatively impact /neko/.
NO MERGER. Rate of retarded posts would go through the roof because of WTFux.
WTFUX = Retarded SA goons wannabes
IICHAN = Zen
merge would be quite good...it could bring more ppl to post on the boards
I seriously believe that most people who think that wtfux users are just gonna invade all the iichan boards and post unrelated crap would see that if they took ONE visit to wtfux, they'd see that they don't even do that on their own boards. It really does imply that the average anonymous iichan user is an introverted geek.
It's fine the way it is already, so why change anything? Don't merge.
> they'd see that they don't even do that on their own boards.
That wouldn't make any sense anyway, now would it? The GNAA doesn't shitflood their own sites either...
PS: UNBAN ZIMMY!
The way things are probably going forward is that iichan is going to host the jist of wtfux's boards, and -maybe- link to them off the sidebar.
The way I personally would have liked for it to have gone was to eliminate redundant boards, and relegate half that obscure shit you -2 people out there who have suddenly become 2000 anonymouses with similar IP's like to a place similar to the adult section, an area where nobody really goes to unless they are specifically looking for it. But I should note I have no official sway in the descisions of either iichan admins or wtfux admins.
This is like Playboy and The Watchtower merging. One has fewer resources and lots of readers and the other has resources and is thrown away as soon you find it stuffed between your screen door and your regular door.
Um, OK, so that's not a flattering comparison, but the point is that the two "communities" are too disimilar to merge. It's like Dick Cheney asking everyone at the White House to go to his lesbian daughter's gay wedding. Very, very uncomfortable for everyone involved.
If this ungodly union should take place, can those in charge please make it appear as if it didn't? Keep the domain names separate and don't merge the side bars!
As long as you don't touch the furi/ board, I'm fine with it.
The board itself only attracts a few retards, and the only ones that detract from what I enjoy from the board are those that go "you jack off to animal penises! lolz!!!1!one" aka teh furry h8terz. I can't even start to mention any furry that visit other boards to make mischief because I stay where I belong, though I wish that the few that do detract from other board viewers' peace and calm on their boards don't negatively reflect the entire "furry" community. Okay- I've said my piece. Sup cho0by-dooby-do?
Also: Trying to re-create someone else's site is probably a bad idea, as is just trying to bash two sites together, but providing some sort of refugee shelter for those who lost their site isn't too bad an idea, and for all us waps I could note that it is something that Futaba's done in the past, too.
well look. i'd rather not see a merger because i don't want to lose wtfux. i mean i think a merger would be a decent idea (less work on both sides). BUT< i think this merger ould have to be an equal merger to work effectively.
shit, dave.
SORRY DAVE :(
I suppose the thread is over.
Feel free to continue all discussion about wtfux and iichan on http://nub.iichan.net/wtfux/index.html or http://dis.wakachan.net/wcd/index.html
MODERATED
Finally, it will fade away!
Merger sounds good to me. Just don't delete the hccp boards.
All of you need to STFU.
This is gonna happen, but I hope that we dont get fucking restricted to what we can do and start getting an influx of teenybopper drama that has plagued iichan since thock left.
Which is why I left. Two people I can name, but I wont are who I wanted to get away from.
If I start seeing threads getting deleted from /cams/ for no real good reason other than some asshole mod trying to keep the wtfux people "in line" for some stupid ass reason. there is going to be hell.
My thing is, keep the parts that wtfux has different separate from
iichan's.
like /cams/ leave all moderation to wtfux mods and admins so we end up not getting kicked off and iichan controlling everything.
> teenybopper drama that has plagued iichan since thock left.
lol oldskool myths
personally... i respect cho0b and his decisions. i'm a big mooch, and i do a lot of anonymous trolling. i'm from 5chan, and migrated to iichan when 5chan died... and from there i became a 4chan /b/tard [and still am today.] i hold a personal record of being banned and unbanned 10+ times from 4chan. when cho0b started #/b/ i was behind him in support... when he started wtfux i was behind him in support... and with the merger i'm still behind him in support... and anal sex.
i agree with shadowpillar, wtfux is a sacred banned [intentional] camp from other image boards, a refuge for the confused, and a place to go to just to waste time. i liked it because it was laid back and i didn't have to worry about mods fucking with any of the stuff i did.
the merger worrys me because iichan has always been elitist... and i fear the elitism will continue or even fester and grow worse if iifucks happens.
so uh,
that's my two cents
i hope things work out for the best
and i'll contribute to my best ability
<3 washermachine#hahaha
p.s. the camwhore board is the heart and soul of wtfux.
don't mess with it.
don't worry about it.... iichan eats wtfux, end of story, it's over, wtfux is gone iichan kills us, end of story. cho0b was an idiot for trusting lain with us, like lain said himself, it's nothing more then a PR ploy, he want to stir up contraversy, he did it, he also killed a site in the process, I hope you are fucking happy lain!
W/e give me the new url so I can start spamming again. I AM FOR THIS DONT DIE LIKE MOOT
WE ARE GATHERED HERE TO WITNESS THE SHOTGUN WEDDING OF IICHAN & WTFUX
but seriously, it's not like this unification thing is permanent or anything, the minority that doesn't like it will just move on to somewhere else which seems to be what usually happens under these circumstances (hint hint nudge wink)
>>106 I know it's not that simple... I am the admin for five of the iichan boards and when it was WAKAchan, there were discussions about whether my boards should be part of WAKAchan or not...
But I do think WTFux has some decent boards. The cam board is the mainstay of WTFux and we here at iichan have nothing like it. So, why not let it live here? (This is coming from someone who doesnt even use the cam board, but does think the idea is good).
There are a lot of board themes that both parties have in common currently. Therefore, some of the change-over would be pain free.
wtfux is a retarded real-life pedophile den
I'm loving this merger already!
Finally /a/ is about anime and not a pedololifapping wannabe /c/
my vote would be for no merger mostly because I am British and thus fear change. Also because I came back to iichan today after a week long leave of absence and the changes pizzed me off some. It seemd to have gone from "random" to just plain "retarded" plus I didn't recognise ANY names, except for about one post by Dawbis. Plus I don't want to run the risk of logging on and seeing any cp/loli posted by attention seeking trolls.
and that was my two cents.
I'm not too sure about this. While I would normally welcome more traffic (and thus postings) to iichan, I don't think that WTFux is the place to draw said traffic from. It seems to me that WTFux is more along the 'funny comment' side of the spectrum, while iichan is on the other.
>>113
Really? Take a look at the Anime section of the WTFux boards. On the first page alone there are the following threads:
http://wtfux.org/anime/kareha.pl/1127260393/
http://wtfux.org/anime/kareha.pl/1124102816/
http://wtfux.org/anime/kareha.pl/1120241041/
All three of those threads are choked full of this "unrelated crap".
8( I'm like the last wtfuxer to post here.
>>144 I THINK YOUR FACE WONT DRAW ANY TRAFFIC. BA-ZING!
8( I'm like the last wtfuxer to post here.
>>144 I THINK YOUR FACE WONT DRAW ANY TRAFFIC. BA-ZING!
If the Real Fetish and Niche Anime boards get more posts, then a merger would be great. 's all I care about.
Still don't think we should have Furry or Camwhore boards, though. At the very least, put them under a DQN tab or something so I can forget they're there.
Hey, I've seen wtfux since the first day it started - shit I even have my own board on the page and mod a few others. I have 0% problem with this merger, because the other option is death. I don't feel like reading every post on this page right now (need to go pick up takeout chinese in five minutes) so I'll just say
WELL HEY YOU NIGGERS, LET'S DO THIS IT'LL BE FUN LOL
THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF WTFUXIAN INTERNET PEDOPHILES. WE WILL NOT STAND FOR YOUR SNACKERY AND AIDS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VALUED ATTN.
