Can we get a section for the Opie and Anthony community refugees? - A community so dedicated to aspergery, we got Reddit to change its ToS

[ClipBitch]

What a bunch of gatekeeping fags all of you are. Just open a board for a week to test the waters and if it sucks then close it.

 

[Aquinas]

Idea, give them a sub board, but also have it be purposed for the likes of the entersphere fags

 

[Aquinas]

actually, fuck OnA, just bring back the Entersphere

Stay salty truckerfags

They're not even the trucker demographic who used to listen to the show. They're more like the unemployed, painkiller addict demographic who has nothing better to do than high five each other as they insult the Cumia family in their reddit circlejerk.

If they were the old, gainfully employed truckerfags, they could afford to host their own forum for their gay shenanigans.

No. All things O&A is fucking gay. If you feel compelled give them a thread, not a sub board.

There already are threads on both Joe and Anthony IIRC. That's two threads for them to play in. If they were actually interested in kiwi farms they could sign up and post in the Cumia brothers threads and maybe learn a little bit about the site and eventually participate in other threads like a regular poster would.

Instead, they come begging for an entire subforum. Typical entitled reddit mentality.

Idk why they need their own board when there’s already threads about cows they talk about. If all they want it for is to post non-cow related shittery. No.

How about they create accounts and use the current cow threads as they are intended? If they start adding more and more cows with a theme, then maybe Null can bundle them into a sub.

additionally, several people have mentioned that this community has its own cows within it. They should be aware that we do cannibalize our own if they show lolcow tendencies. That can’t be stopped or prevented and their own posts will be used against them.

What kind of internal issues?

owners of the subreddit having brain damage

 

[Nigonidas]

That's exactly what it is. They got run off of reddit for harassing people in real life, and rather than quitting like sensible people or maybe idk, starting their own forum where they could do whatever they wanted, they're trying to come here so they can keep their little club together on Null's bandwidth.



For someone who's not familiar with this particular community you sure picked an excellent way to describe the O&A subreddit. Your other line about how the Sam&Tolki subreddit might have 1 or 2 good threads surrounded by garbage also applies to the O&A sub.

Then why take them? This isn't Sweden.

 

[Lone MacReady]

It all went to shit after the serius/XM merger. Satellite started being sanitized like old radio did, the best OandA bits couldn't be done anymore after a while. Their rogue's gallery of mockable staffers decreased by the year then Patrice died and they lost one of their best guests. Cumia got fired right as this SJW cancel culture shit started and that facilitated host drama boiling over after years of tension. Lil Jimmy went off on his own cringey journeys with Opie then Sam, as Anthony moved to the copycat Rogan route of podcasting. Of the old OandA crew, only Bill Burr and Kevin Hart seem to still have forward moving careers.

 

[Caesare]

Then why take them? This isn't Sweden.

I wouldn't. I love the Opie and Anthony show, I listen to old shows on YouTube almost daily but that subreddit is shit and always has been. I wouldn't care if they could sign up and participate like normal people but they don't seem capable of doing that.

Reddit is more their speed but since they screwed that up they need to make a choice: either quit or start their own thing. Don't email a successful sites owner to beg for special treatment with promises of new members and future donations.

If they are rich boomers, give them their own sub board in return for a suitable amount of cryptocurrency sent to the boss. Running the Farms is very expensive. The boss is entitled to cover his costs however he sees fit.

 

[The Reaper]

Like a lot of people have said:
- There is multiple threads that are not active right now to play in.
- Many are in the opinion that A-logging is a frequent thing for the sub-reddit.

I say the boomers try and sign up, enter the threads already made, and if they have the gumption make a community watch to go over who is even still involved with these guys. I was under the impression the show was over and the content drip was fairly slow. If they can manage doing this without being ridiculous then sure give them a sub-forum. Like Null said about Internet Famous being a sub-forum, its a little more niche than other areas of the site and the community as a whole doesn't really fit into one particular area on the forum. If they're able to show the content is there and its funny I see no reason why they can't.

That or they run their own forum.

It kind of sets weird precedent if we just start letting people buy sub-forums. It would be good for Null, but I don't think it would be good for forum culture.

Don't tell them that, it's funnier that way.

 

[Xarpho]

My take is that they should not get their own forum straight off. They get one thread, Kiwi moderation. If that turns out to be unmanageable, then they get their own forum, and in a fairly orderly fashion—I'm pretty sure Null doesn't want a repeat of the Amberlynn situation.

 

[Tramadol]

Im a bit torn because im fucking tired of having to find the new new new new new O&A reddit, but the audience really isnt big enough to have its own subforum, but it would be nice to have

You would think all these richfags could pay someone to setup something for them. They could have pmed Null with business proposal, yet they come begging like a buncha poorfags.

There are plenty of insular dead gay forums on the internet that cost nothing or next to nothing. If they're worried about ToS shit, host them on 1776. If they want to pay the monthly server costs for the farms, that's a hard deal to turn down. I get the feeling that these mythical richfags would be more apt to send goodboy points and a couple tardbux than drop Bitcoin.

>Using plebbit in the first place.
Anyways, like everyone else has said, no, just make a thread in the appropriate section if you want discussion to be here. This site isn't reddit, a section here won't replace the deleted subreddit, and no one seems keen to give any reasons in support of why we should support a section for this in the first place.
(Why a literal shitposting site gets heralded as heaven or hell with no inbetween, I'll never know.)

 

[mindlessobserver]

If we take the Weeb Wars model, since it seems so many people are comparing it, that started out as a single thread and the stupid thing went through something like 30-50 pages in a day with all the autism, sperging, and so on, that relevant information got buried before people could even notice it. Its why it got an entire sub-forum. Starting off with a thread, and maybe featuring it on the front page will be a decent test to see if there is actual an interest in creating and sustaining a sub forum. If there isn't then the thread is just fine.

Beyond that, I know absolutely nothing about this particular reddit, so I will defer to people who do know on their opinions of it. I am certain however whatever problems could come from it can be mitigated by light moderation, particularly if an old hand is given the mod powers as opposed to someone new to the forum. Beyond that new members generally mean good things as it keeps the site fresh and active. Internet communities that take in "refugees" only run into problems if they give the newcomers mod access. Thankfully we are a not so benevolent dictatorship, so that is not an issue here.

Youre absolutely correct, throwback jokes aside.
