Title: Why this place will never go anywhere.
Post by: Enter on November 09, 2014, 05:04:12 am
Say you start a business. Let's say it's a corner shop. And you spend the majority of your time trying to decide what color the front counter should be.

That's what Sanctuary is. I can't believe the amount of time this dickhead has spent figuring out how to format the "thanks" feature. Can you imagine how long it'll take him to actually do something major?

Meanwhile, all the customers are leaving and no new ones are coming in. "I gotta figure what color this bench should be, guys! I'm doin' polls and everything, so don't worry! A herp da derp! Dragons!"

If you are not completely satisfied with every aspect of this website, the most pragmatic thing you can do is to put on a shirt that says "intosanctuary" and run around your local mall hitting black children in the face with a hatchet. When the police show up, set yourself on fire and run towards the cops like a zombie on meth until they shoot you.

Until you do that, stop complaining.

Just so you know, I had to extract the original mod, look around online to see exactly which files of the mod had to be changed to make the mod do what I wanted it to do, then dig around in that files code and see which things needed to be changed, (luckily, the original mod author wasn't a complete dunce and actually commented his code, thank goodness) and then save, put it all back into a zip and then upload it and test it to make sure it did what I wanted it to do.

Not saying in the slightest that what I did was super 1337 work at all but it was far from a walk in the park for me.

Enter isn't actually complaining though. This is ideal for him. Ever since the death of zok there's been a great big admin sized hole in the field of things he hates and arnox is just the person to fill it. Notice he isn't actually saying anything need to be changed, he's at his best when he's laughing at someone's earnest efforts.

This is going to be the standard response from the administration regarding threads of this nature.

ahaha

ahahahhahahaha it's a fucking hahahahaha how the fuck can someone type something like this

can someone please explain to me how someone can actually say this

how the fuck is that even a thing

I can't even psychologically dissect where you're coming from. When Arnox replies with a passive aggressive "LOL didn't read" pic or whatever else he finds on 9gag, I can understand that. It's an attempt at being funny while also trying to show the insults don't bother him.

But wtf is that. It's like something a teenage girl would say when you criticize her looks on facebook, only you're a grown man and defending a forum you moderate.

Start neck-writhing and say it in a Ms. Peachez (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGrqW3nx5HM) voice.

That doesn't explain anything, but it does sound fucking funny.

The direction of the site could change at any time. We just need a scandal that makes the news and the pressure to behave badly for a media venue will push us towards exciting debauchery. Maybe a suicide will follow through, or another web zine will interview daburu as a window into the community.

I'm actually a firm believer in the "If you build it, they will come." mantra. I truly believe we have something unique and awesome when we combine everything together and who knows what other features we may add to the site.

No, you're not.

You've built a fucking forum for people who hate authority. And yet all I see in this fucking place is rules, moderators, admin decisions, etc. Like Jesus fucking christ. Do you see the hypocrisy?

You could have made the forum and that'd be that. But no. You seem to be a believer of, "If you build it, and keep it under a strict authority, they'll... they'll come. Right guys? They have to come."

True. The level of policing and adherence to the somewhat constricting rules isn't warranted given how small this place is. If Arnox eased up a little more and opened the registration again we might have a chance at expansion.

The first thing I would like to do is apologize for the sudden shutdown. To be quite honest, we were NOT ready at all for such a massive influx of members and it may take a bit to adjust to our now current userbase. Having said that, I'd like to welcome you all to the Sanctuary.

Quote from: Arnox
Then I realized that if I ever wanted to see the legacy of totse survive, I would have to carry it to safety myself. It seemed no one else was going to do it. And so, I made a decision. I was going to start a new replacement. I didn't have any experience in admining a forum at all. I didn't have any experience with hosts. All I had was a vision and the drive to see it happen.

The result is what you have before you. The wait is over. We are here now. No more nonsense. No more looking. And may it forever stay that way.

You guys weren't invited. Your shit forum went down and you came here because it was the closest thing you could find. We never asked you guys to come here and no one is asking you to stay.

But Arnox has welcomed a crowd of Totseans into bed with him.

Too late to complain about STDs now.

I'm not going to haggle over semantics because welcome/invite amount to the same thing in the end; Arnox decided to accept a slice of the Totse userbase. He didn't know what he was letting himself in for because he was never on Totse, but it's too late to do anything about that now. Shouting 'I am in charge' at them is utterly pointless; you can house them within certain limits or you can exterminate them, there isn't much in the way of middle ground.

This place isn't going to go anywhere because of the mindless shitposts.

3 newest threads in Bad Ideas are trolls.

2 of them have to do with CP and the other is about making a bomb out of a toilet paper tube.. Bad Ideas is IMO the only useful thread in this bitch, yet it's also the least informative and probably post for post the most shit posted.

The worst part is the shit isn't even funny.  Baby rapers CP jokes got old quick and I just don't understand the retarded "I fried my brain smoking syncans/weed" autistic "random" funny shit people like bling and schplew and mashle constantly fart out. If I was new here I would see that kind of stuff being the majority here and go "Mmmk -close tab-"

That's all this site has to offer right now: unfunny shitposts, people bitching about the administration, and threads that ask "what's your favorite movie/show/food/alcohol/drug/gun etc. ad nauseum, and the occasional topical news article that I doubt will ever generate any hits on google if we even started advertising.

It's a sad state.

Most accurate post on this thread so far. Especially the part about condoning/encouraing shit posters like Shplew, Bling and Mash.....along with not giving a fuck about toxic derailers while excusing it under the guise of  "meh, the thread/information wasn't useful any how".

Just  to clarify, I think shit posting has a place here.  Not every thread or post is going to be a golden treasure trove of information, so where there are gaps in quality the shit posts keep activity up and can be entertaining to an extent.  My point is if that is going to be our only commodity it just ain't going to work and arnox is wasting his money.

No one will ever think of this forum as anything but zoklet2 because even though it was around before zoklet closed, the only reason why people are here is because this was the most convenient place to run to when zoklet FUBARd

Hear that, Arnox? Your forum was basically dead in the water, you got lucky, and now this n00b of yours is trying to drive them off. It was the same fools saying the same kinds of bullshit as this on Zoklet, and the userbase finally DID take the invitation and left in droves. Even way before the closure practically no one was left, because the mods kept telling the userbase to go somewhere else if they weren't happy. In the end, everyone took their advice, just like they're gonna take the advice of this n00b mod of yours if you continue to let it open its dumb yap about it.

This place never going anywhere isn't really an accusation or a prediction anymore, more of an inevitability. It was an opportunity to make something decent and much better than zoklet but instead turned into something far worse.

It's fucking incredible for pathetic and incompetent Arnox is, I can't think of someone who'd have failed worse in his position.
