Your multi-page span earlier looked pretty, dearest Allamorph, but it said absolutely nothing worthwhile. Doubt me, do you? You opened by complaining about this fight being unfair. Yet if you were to step back and carefully examine this fight, all you had to do was argue for the status quo. You were not fighting us on [i]our[/i] terms. We invited you to fight us on [i]your[/i] terms. Doubt me, do you? This fight is happening here at OtakuBoards. This fight is taking place in the CTU home. The war we are waging is on [i]your[/i] rules, on [i]your[/i] messageboard. [i]You[/i] are not in enemy territory, silly Allamorph. [i]We[/i] are in enemy territory. Your point is now brutalized. Your next points about stereotyping and pornography fell on deaf ears, for Charles was making fun of your cause. It was satire, dear Allamorph. Even Shy's comments about predators and deviants were tongue-in-cheek. The mad king was right to ignore you there. Your materials about "ordinary people" were similarly juvenile. The CTU have been acting like only deviants want hentai. That could not be further from the truth. When confronted with clear examples of ordinary people enjoying hentai, you disregard it, then quickly jump to some sort of "our reputation is at stake!!!" ignorance. You act as if all hentai will doom OtakuBoards, when in fact the "family-friendly" reputation is already suspect if you take a glance through the thousands of "mature" Arena posts with little to no conceptual understanding of appropriate sex and violence. You were making valid points? No. You were fumbling about, thinking you were making valid rebuttals. Furthermore, what is your tripe about moderation? You act as if Charles' point about moderation would be some totalitarian morality police. You assume he's contradicting himself, when very likely he could simply be referring to the general spam/doubleposting/threats policy. You were making valid points? No. You were just assuming something. And then subsequently making the same kind of lame fumbling leaps of logic we saw in your "reputation" discourse. Living in fear...was another one of your mind-numbingly uninspired rebuttals. Again, you failed to address Charles' point and instead springboarded into an irrelevant tangent about society at large. Lusting after fictional characters instead of real people...you obviously don't get the joke there. Stalking after real people is a tongue-in-cheek reference to an OBer from many years ago. Don't think you've countered Charles in any way when you clearly had no idea what he was goofing with in the first place. Fapping. You failed to reveal any contradictions, because Charles was offering you a suggestion: if you don't want to look at hentai, simply don't visit that portion of the boards. You made valid points? Don't be a fool. I think I've done enough to utterly destroy enough of what you said to make you the laughing stock of the CTU. I'm not going to even touch that whole definition schlock because in all honesty, it would be a waste of my time to go through it; it's all just that mind-numbingly bad. But don't take things too hard, young one. After all, you kind of bit off more than you could chew. With Charles' recent graduation, he and I both have BAs in English now.

I'd be quite happy if it was merely a forum that catered for the posting of fap worthy images.

Neither of which generate much discussion but are popular nontheless. A hentai forum doesn't have to be discussion-based in nature. It will be popular because it's porn.

Desbreko Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 [color=#4B0082]I think people are missing something here that goes deeper than the argument of, "It's porn so it's not allowed on OB." The fact is, OB is a discussion forum, not an image board. It doesn't matter if it's hentai, pictures of clouds, or any other thing you want to pick, OB is not a place for people to post image after image with nothing more than, "omg that's so hot," to go with them. That completely clashes with the focus of the site. Yes, we have forum games as well, and you can point to the picture caption games and argue that those are no better. But if you look at which games have and haven't been allowed over the years, it's always the ones that require zero or close to no thought that get shut down. Caption games require creativity and humor, three word stories do not -- guess which one gets closed. A discussion about hentai (like the one going on in Anime Lounge right now) requires some knowledge and thought be put into posts, a forum to post images and go, "omg that's hot," does not -- guess which one isn't allowed. OB values discussion and creativity, not mindless posting of words or images.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 What you're talking about, however, is a very specific aspect of a rather broad topic. Very few are solely equating hentai with simply posting images people find on Japanese fanart sites. Just because a couple of people are deciding to go off on that tangent doesn't mean it's the crux of the argument. I would say it isn't at all.

Because honestly, a picture section for people to ogle would not be "morally debasing" the site any more than some of the stories and RPGs littering Adventure Square.

TheShinje Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 [size=3][color=crimson] Lady M has a good point, and it's not only because she is really really, really really, good looking. Anime Lounge is not suitable as a long-term home for hentai discussions because we are dealing with mature material. A seperate forum, visible only to the over-18's, is really the only viable option here. Come on guys, the mod staff has had it's secret Yaoi forum for how long? Surely a mod is available that can restrict acess to a forum to the over 18's, and the juvenile members need not know of it's existence. (negating the argument that member will lie about their age for acess.) Think of it like a video store.

TheShinje Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 [size=3][color=crimson] Yes. Hentai stole the show here because members actually want a fourm. But for the sake of a few graphics nuts, plus the fact that that one suggestion has been blasted to death, I will now knuckle down into the secondary point of this thread. The image size rues are eccentric and outdated old rules, they were revolutionary in a bygone era, but have staled over time. These boards have increased image size on a number of occasions, coinciding with stronger internet connections and the ability of forum software to integrate the different image sizes. A little history lesson: Back when the forum started to use VB software, the OtakuBoards did not allow images in sigs at all. The [img] tage was only useful for posting images within posts. Eventually, the rules were relaxed to allow images in sigs . Avatars have had a long history of size restriction relaxation. The original max size for an avatar was 50x50, and you could only have a bigger one if you were a mod. Later, this was seen as favourtism, and wiped for a universal 80x80 avatar restriction that tidied up the look of the forum quite a bit. With the advent of OtakuBoards V7, the size limit was relaxed again, allowing users to implement a 150x80 avatar. The forum's image size has changed over time for a couple of reasons. Firstly, internet connections by and large have become more reliable over the years. Secondly, the forums have changed their layout and the avatar limits reflect that. This is especially true in V7, where you can have a rectangle avatar because it is located on the top of the postbit, rather than the sidebar. However, the banner size has remained a rigid 500x100 pixel limit. Despite the fact that v7 has a longer postbit, and the banners would not be strecthing the forum layout. All we want is a relaxation of the rules to reflect where the forum is at in capability and style. We can have a longer or somewhat higher rectangle in the avatar section without stretching the user information panel out. We can have larger images in sigs without stretching out the postbit. I don't want a 600x1000 banner, but I do at least want those in charge to look at the possibility of a reasonable 600x200. Or even just a 550x195, nothing too drastic. :) It's time to give this some serious consideration. [/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Copycatalyst Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Scientists have observed that 3 percent of mammals engage in social monogamy ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogamous]source[/url]); the human being is a mammal and it engages in social monogamy usually. The human being is going against the nature of what it is by saying one must be married and have sex with only one mate. If man were really what it was, it would be engaging in social polygamy and not denying that it really wants to **** everything that moves; but seeing as we're "God's images" I guess we can't do that now can we! Well, I can, but not you, you ****ing fools who want to **** the same horse again and again. You can bring a horse to drink water, but it won't **** it necessarily. You can bring a man to a lone island of water and he'll probably **** it all night long, and his whole life because "it's the moral thing to do." If one objectively approaches the truth of the human being one finds polygamy, sex, and hentai (symbolic representations of sexual acts to an extreme, at times) are all aspectations of the truth of what human beings are. Similarily, one can bring OB-members to water, and tell them--look at your reflections--but they'll all be too busy drowning their whorses that there's really nothing anyone can do, other than drag their own horse along and use that as a straw-man argument to try and change the unflexing err of our moral judgments and our tabooification of various aspectations of the human being. In other words: sex is as human as it is to not realize it is human to grasp at an illusion. In other other words: OB will make its one thread on hentai into a huge tome of 100+ pages, and it will become like a forum within a thread, and within it will be established Hentai Otakuberds, a secret non-denominational organization and forum that's really a thread but is really a forum existent innocuously for various Japanese animated pornography-lovers' eccentric, and rather promiscuously and most assuredly erotic tastes. Oh, and about the bigger avatar thing. I already got into that before, but I mean, bigger is better, even if that betterness is for better or worse. Of the "big avatar" and the "cigar" one can say the same thing, as did Freud, "My cigar is not a sexual symbol," so too is not the "big avatar." The big avatar is merely a realization that a majority has broadband and a minority has 56K-slow-as-a-snail-stuck-to-another-snail internet speed. I mean just look at my avatar. You can't even see it! It's down-sized. On other boards I frequent, avatar sizes are larger, and no one thinks it's a bad thing period. Other than if they are having their period, I guess.

Desbreko Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 [color=#4B0082]Actually, previous versions had a wider post area than v7 does. Not only did they use a variable width layout (so resolutions higher than 800x600 had a wider area), they also didn't have a nav column on the left side. The postbit was contained on the left, but I don't think it was as wide. As it is, the post area is 580 pixels wide once you subtract the cell padding. (I could be off by a pixel or two, but close enough.) So, for now at least, banners wider than about 550 pixels aren't really feasible. The next version will expand to a 1024 width layout so there'll be more horizontal space, but whether or not the post area itself will be much wider I'm not sure. Personally, I wouldn't mind the banner size limit being upped to 550x120, but I think anything taller than that starts to become an eyesore. Especially when multiple lines of text start being added to the signature and it ends up taking more space than most posts. Because really, it's supposed to be a signature, not some grand work of art. As for avatars, there's about 50 free pixels between the left edge of the avatar and the [Add Me as a Friend] text in the postbit. We could go up to 180x100 or so, but much taller and it's going to start looking bad to have the avatar stretching the postbit vertically. Not to mention it's yet more scrolling that people have to do between posts. I really doubt avatar sizes are going to change any time soon, though, considering all the work people have put into building our gallery of 150x80 avatars. I'm not terribly concerned about the 56k issue though. If you notice when loading a thread, the layout and post text loads first, then the avatars and banners load. (Or at least that's how it's always been for me.) So 56k users should still be able to read threads without much if any added load time, it'll just take longer for them to see people's banners.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 [color=olive]Deb pretty much said it all. Banner sizes are probably due for an increase of some kind - the limits we have now come from ages ago when just about everyone was tired of the massive signatures people used to use. Does anyone remember those? Some people had signatures with half a dozen banners, each of which was like 500x500 pixels, lol. Still, we can increase the size limit without allowing signatures that are too annoying. As for avatars...I would like to incorporate larger avatars on the new site, but I would feel bad for all the people who contributed to our current library. Perhaps we can just open up a thread before the launch so that members can start a brand new library or something. :catgirl: The new site will have a bigger resolution but most of that extra space will be dedicated to new content panels that will sit on the right of the forums. There won't be a left navigation menu on the new site though. I'm not sure how wide the new forum width actually is, I'll have to check. I do think it's a little wider than what we have now though.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Blue Jihad Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 [quote name='Desbreko][color=#4b0082']Well, what else are people going to do in a hentai forum that can't already be done in the Anime Lounge?[/color][/quote] Include the artwork being discussed, which is nowhere near as meaningless or incidental as you make it out to be.

TheShinje Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 [QUOTE=James][color=olive] As for avatars...I would like to incorporate larger avatars on the new site, but I would feel bad for all the people who contributed to our current library. Perhaps we can just open up a thread before the launch so that members can start a brand new library or something. :catgirl: [/color][/QUOTE] [size=3][font=century gothic][color=crimson]There's also the option of resizing the avatars. Quite a mammoth task, I know. But if you had a team working on that, it might work. ^_^ That is, of course, if the avatar increase isn't big enough that the avatars pixellate when blown up. My, that would be quite horrid. ;) [/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
