Registrations will remain closed to the public throughout June, 2022.

Just stray clear off anything political on here and you should be golden. I found out the hard way that anything involving politics on here makes you instantly retarded.

I know, I know, pretty obvious fix, but I couldn't let it stand.

Only four weeks to crush the newfag curve.

Question is, is it airborne and do masks help?

I've seen some people registering with their real names on here lately, like it's a fucking LinkedIn. Do the invited users not go through the registration page that clearly states what kind of information will be gone after if they decide to make an account?

Can't a man be proud of their name?!

Like who?

Like who?

Me. Squirrelcop is my name, and nutting up mothernutters is my game

For real tho, I would love to know if people really used their real ass names to register on a forum specifically built to commit hatecrimes with real names

It kind of sounds like bullshit to me, but I'll wait for some examples.

My issue with placing an exam on registration is based on two points:
1. I’ve seen someone say it should be a question about the Bill of Rights or freedom of speech. What if I am not an American and want to join for someone like Drachenlord or some of the growing Brazilian cows? I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to make foreigners who will likely never need to know the American Constitution learn it, especially when they’re joining to share their lolcows.
2. A hypothetical. I want to join the forum because I’ve lurked BP for six months and love watching Chantal live. I’ve been following her streams ever since Nader appeared with his cocaine and wild Egyptian ways and I decide I’m ready to join. I set up my account to be @Bad_Bitch and when I hit join I am then met with a 20 question essay about Chris Chan or even worse some sort of Ethan Ralph pin the gunt on the giant baby game. I’m not here for that. Im here for Chantal. Do you think it’s fair to force me to become a Christorian when I likely will never post in his sub forum and will maybe only venture in if he gets featured on the front page and is in between me and the salon?

I’m not against having some regulation on new users for their own sake so they don’t join and do something harmful to themselves but I would rather it be something along the lines of limiting posts to a certain number. I know some people join and within 3 days have 100 posts, and that’s crazy to think about when you have some people who are sitting on 4-5 years with only 300. The best way to get a desired behavior is to model it after all.

I hope you invested in Kiwifarms accounts. The ICO is finished and tokenomics do the rest. To the moon!!1!

 

[Attractive Sexhaver]

Just ask for a valid credit card number at registration. If they give it to you, use it and then ban them.

 

[No. 7 cat]

that's chad behavior. cope

On Twitter, apart from journoscum, a typical real namer is the single father full of 'come at me bro' moxie. The real name regs here seem a bit duller. I lurked without an acct for a while before I recently enough became a member.

 

[Point Man]

I'm glad I missed the cursed months, I guess. I only lurked for like maybe a few weeks before making an account but I've been watching Josh's streams for a few years now I think so that's how I've been able to inergrate myself into the "community" of retards and degenerates semi-decently. I just like looking at the threads I follow and bitch about videogames every now and then. I understand the occasional Twitter retard coming on here expecting us to kiss their shoes for doing nothing, but it seriously confuses me when niggas come in here like "Hey what's up my fellow nigger-faggot killers, how's it going? Haha, 1488 am I right guys? Also did I mention that I hate kikes and the illegitimate nation of Israel?" It's a super pathetic attempt to fit in and makes me laugh.

-Stuff about a registration quiz-

The best compromise for this honestly is to have some ridiculous video that people need to watch through then ask for a detail or some shit at some specific timestamp like that Alex Jones one.

RIP the easy to find username hall of shame

 

[get-tar manajerk]

There used to be a forum site way back called &totse and they'd randomly open registration one day and then close it for months. It wasn't announced when it was opened. If you were lurking you'd just try your luck everyday until you got in. Made it harder for randoms who didn't know how the site worked to shit the place up. Eventually they just fully opened registration and announced it and everything went to shit shortly after.

 

[waffle]

I think the cooling off period after a no referral registration is probably the wisest policy, but only opening registration seasonally would probably also work.

Everybody who doesn't rember Deagle Nation is a new fag. Thst was truly the high point of the forum.

What is it with zoomers and technological incompetence? Was talking about vidya with an older coworker recently and he asked me if I had tried RDR2 online ever. Said I pirated it since Rockstar online sucks and a zoomer girl literally asked “what’s pirated like you stole it?” Another zoomer thought I was a hacker because I customized the sound profile on my PC.

I remember being their age jailbreaking iphones and running coupon scams and selling bootleg DVD’s. It’s like they have no sense of what’s going on behind the curtain when using a computer and can only interface with apps. I wonder if there was a similar drop in computer literacy when OS’s moved from text-based to GUI?

I believe the only reason indian tech scammers aren’t targeting them is because they don’t have money yet and their boomer parents would know it was a scam when they ask for dad’s credit card to pay the tech support guy.

 

[FILTH Tourist]

closing registration for the explicit purpose of encouraging people to lurk before joining is a great idea. i wonder if it might also be a decent idea to have some sort of system where new users just can't post for the first month of joining, though i wouldn't know how to implement it. in the meantime periodically closing registration should be helpful.

Maybe a probation period where you have a limited amount of posts would work better? One post an hour or two should be good for newfags to get acclimated to the site without fucking up boards.

 

[Meiwaku]

You should put up the video of Chris Chan fucking the sex doll again and make them watch the whole thing before being able to register.

 

[done and dusted]

Speaking of registration shouldn't it say "your" instead of "my" here

 

[6MillionCoofs]

I honestly think having a policy of locking registrations down every so often might not be bad.

 

[Fareal]

Will this be a summer without summerfags? Alhamdulillah
