Newfag here, decided to do my part after years of lurking. Gotta say Null, it was a wise choice to lock off-topic from folks that DON'T actually have an account here. Blocks off those asshats that might do the site harm AND forces insecure shitheads like me to grow a pair and join up.

Although I will say my choice was also influenced by being unable to view the salt in A&H. It's fucking addicting, send help please.

asshats like you? signing up doesn't stop anyone who wants to shit up the site, it takes less then 5 minutes to create a throwaway email and account.

you got some weird superiority complex from signing up on a website lol


more related to the topic, I wasn't aware of the plagiarism detection in search engines. I have had instances where I went down a rabbit whole of trying to find where some articles originally came from, and I've seen whole sections of articles lifted by large news sites, so it must be a matter of traffic that helps control it

True, just thought of that. We might want to follow Unog's idea as to weather the hordes of potential trolls and the like.

Delete Star Wars thread. The largest offtopic thread. Over 20.000 posts sperging about children toys and theme parks. Lots of pedophiles there too since any adult obsessively analyzing theme parks for children is obviously a pedo

Well yeah I'd assume there's a 20-50 account margin of error for all of his socks.

Idk what you got from my post, I've just kind of wondered how many people would make an account if this exact thing happened for a while now.

Well that's a minor pain in the ass, I often browse A&H on my phone logged off simply because I haven't ever logged on on it.

just checking that one plagiarism site, what a bunch of fags that sniff their own farts.

Damn, this kinda sucks. I’ve been using the multimedia subforum to do all my reporting on cows from a certain website, and I know that quite a few people read the thread. If possible, I’d also be happy if A&H was the only thing hidden.

As someone who does not enjoy being logged in, I disapprove of this change. Just have people stop copypasting articles. Seriously, even with this change, the state of some OPs is terrible, literally copypasting huge chunks of the website that have nothing to do with the article in question, even the advertisements! Simply have people paste a link to the archived version of the article, instead of pasting the text, and you'll solve both problems at once.

Imma gonna Admin fag PL fer a minute here. Registered and PAYING users should have rights to forums threads that the general public does not. I've always had forums that the general public could not see and couldn't be archived in searches by bots. Site hits reflected this traffic, but there were zero search results for any of it with Google, Yahoo, Bing, whodafuck ever.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. Some shit should be kept in house amongst family. Does this apply to A&H? Possibly, in the sense that it could be leveraged to make it something users would actually register for and pay for the privilege of using.

Totally your call, but I consider A&H one of the biggest draws to this forum. Cows are fun, but I can only take so much of AL or JV tard cum before I want to put my Sig up against my skull.

Careful about saying that, you're bound to get them riled up.

I'd say a good part of it's A&H, probably. A lot of people I talk to online who knew about the Farms years prior say they don't join specifically because of that section, that their impression is that's why there's so much cancerous shit on the site. I just ignore A&H in general now, but I'd imagine the whole A&H thinking turns people away in general.
