We have to talk about you faggots not being able to figure out thumbnails

[Kiwi & Cow]

The level of A&N deletion cope.

"HE'S NOT DELETING THE SECTION! HE'S JUST NOT TRANSFERRING SHIT OVER TO THE NEW SOFTWARE!". He literally said he's "nuking" A&N, not purging it of all posts.

What purpose does it serve anyways? If I want to read an article I go to the sites themselves. If I want to post an article and start a discussion on it I post a link to it.
Some news sites even have weird formatting which make copypasting really annoying. I've tried it once years ago and it took me several minutes just to get the whole shit together.
I've read here that apparently it's used to archive news articles, but that's redundant with archive.org.

Hell this thing is not public, you need an account just to see it and it is not discussed anywhere outside it because it's completely disconnected from the rest of the forum, so any important discussion happening there will be practically lost because nobody will know it's there.

I would say that I avoid it like the plague, but I honestly don't care enough to actively avoid it, there is nothing interesting going on over A&H. If CatParty wants to keep making more threads like he already does, he could always do it on one of the main forums.

I think I got it…

As an A&H subhuman, lemme play Devil's Advocate here:

Politicians and journalists are some of the biggest lolcows of them all. Since this website is dedicated to laughing at stupid people, that is A&N's purpose.

Alas, it has become a circlejerking refugee camp for /pol/acks and other politispergs exiled from elsewhere on the internet.

Though, personally, I'd ask Jersh to consider keeping Deep Thoughts and Happenings. And the big Off Topic section.

Instead of thumbnails, could we put our big ass images under a spoiler?

Someone literally just said why that's bad:

I hate when people throw images behind spoilers in an attempt to get around full sizing. Spoilers make the browser snap to them and tbh having to click around and close them to get the gist of the images instead of just having thumbnails is annoying. If a post is a bunch of spoilers lined up I tend to ignore it. This shid kinda ruins some threads for me.

Why use A&H when threads are slow instead of the infinitely better off-topic sections (or just getting off the computer)? Politics and news are faggot shit and breed negativity. Politispergs should kys.

Attaching images as thumbnails isn't difficult, even on phones.

I personally enjoy the curated nature of it. I hate news sites with their 4 billion ads per page (I'm a filthy phone user by day) and most other sites don't report on such a breadth of content. There's nothing like reading some Chauvin or Rittenhouse stuff and getting into 2 pages of how to properly make meth or moonshine or whatever random factoids people have.

 

[Kermit Jizz]

There's a lot of garbage threads and articles that get posted and they quickly vanish, but there's others that do spark some decent conversation and there's a huge variety in the kinds of topics and articles that get posted, more than i've seen elsewhere.

I wonder if A&N could be shaped up by just having tighter quality control on the articles. Maybe a cap on how many an individual can post per day so they have to pick their favorites.

The above plus tighter crackdowns on any inter-forum drama that crops up there would probably go a long way.

Though, personally, I'd ask Jersh to consider keeping Deep Thoughts and Happenings. And the big Off Topic section.

Second this. Say what you will about the quality of A&N, because a lot of it is useless fluff, but Happenings threads actually are pretty informative and the downtime discussions are lots of fun.

Phones have adblockers too.

 

[Sarcastic sockpuppet]

We need a "use thumbnails, dumbass, this image is so big it has it's own gravity" kind of rating.
This would train people faster.

 

[TexOffender]

Well shit i've been doing the handlebar thing. Whoopsie, thumbnails it is.

 

[Astro Galactic Megalul]

Thanks, sorry for causing trouble with my big pics everyone

I love the constant stream of things to make fun of, interesting information, pictures, and videos that comes out of A&H, it keeps my short attention span entertained.

 

[AeroFanta]

I did this recently, won't do it again kek

 

[Red Hood]

I'll do my best. Unless I forget.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

I dunno, I've always enjoyed A&N because it's like having a wild ass comments section below the news article like the days of yore.

And somehow even the most butchered copy/paste jobs format better than the site they came from.

 

[thegooddoctor]

I have included a video tutorial on how to add a fucking image to your post to the OP of this thread thank you

Thanks for the help Null, I am too guilty of being a massive retard with photo sizes and I hope everyone here can follow suit and learn to size properly.

 

[Ratoyan]

Thank you dear leader, please don't guillotine me for my past transgressions. I am now all the wiser.

 

[Homer Simpson]

I remember the russel greer stream where you complained about this. Kinda funny it's still going on lol.

 

[The Un-Clit]

Yes. The copy+paste jobs in A&N are by far the laziest, sloppiest shit on the site. A&N is beyond moderation to the point where I don't even bother pointing this out. Retard faggot niggers will literally include advertisements, asides, page notices, "READ MOREs" to other articles. Just unbelievably lazy. When/if we get the software change I am just nuking A&N and not bothering to import its content because it's worthless.

Fuckin Ay.
