Why not make a /vip/ board? (5)

Characteristics:

  • forced Anon mode (named VIPPER)
  • IDs are displayed per-thread; sage hides IPs
  • "bad" threads from lounge are sent to /vip/
  • "bad" posters are restricted to posting in /vip/
  • moderators are more hands-off
  • possibly allow file attachments? (Kareha allows this -- look at how /bun/ was ran)

The only forced-anon board I know left is /iaa/ @ 4-ch and neither there nor /lounge/ here really capture the older BBS vibe yet, i.e. from 2004-2014 era. A proper /vip/ board could do a lot of good for the community. I think people desperate for the older era of BBSes are winding up on 6channel lately, but let's be real, the Sageru BBS days are more or less over.

I know of the already existing secret VIP board but it's not very useful.

If we only aspired to capture an "old bbs vibe", then we would just be roleplayers, no?

so if you're not trying to capture "old bbs vibe" by running kareha on world2ch.net ... what are you trying to do here? What's going in in /saovq/ if that's not roleplaying? There are hundreds of other general discussion messageboards , whether 2ch-like or otherwise... what sets your community apart from heyuri or 4-ch aside from the domain name?

Your question is presenting a false dichotomy. People don't have to be "roleplayers" to post on textboards and they don't have to be "roleplaying" to enjoy participating in textboard culture.

You didn't answer my post at all btw. It would be nice if you engaged with people's posts in good faith. I know you'll probably delete my posts again, insult me or throw false accusations at me again, or deny being the admin again, but I am engaging in good faith and it would be encouraging to see you do the same.

I guess we are separated by quality and good discussion. The only thing 4-ch has to show is DQN(Who can't compare themselves to VIP quality), which has long been in decline, the other is a site of tweens role playing.
Neither of those provide good discussion.
I think it would be good to continue working on improving lounge quality first until making a new board.

Most of the time when you see sites say that it's trying to capture an "old era" or something similar, it is generally a lot of kiddos who have no clue what their trying to emulate.
I don't want it to be a mission to appease some dogma about the past because it will typically attract the wrong crowd.

World2ch should just be for quality discussion and quality posts.
