Incline How will RPGCodex compete with /vrpg/?

[Ataraxia]

I did not mean to aggravate you or try to instigate a drama

What are you doing on codex then?

What happened to Red Panda?

4chan isn't good for discussing RPGs or video games, anonymity is an idea that ultimately encourages drive-by shitposting and canned sarcasm. Left that shithole about 8 years ago, can't imagine how worse it become meanwhile. Creating new boards won't solve the problem of average user being a teenager or kid, real or mental age.

as if such things weren't a daily occurrence here

Nah. RPGCodex is far better than /vrpg/ - at least here I know you cunts play video games, and aren't just shitposting, while hiding under the guise of anonymity.

 

[Riddler]

Do they have buttons?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

With the new 4chan board dedicated to RPGs, Is RPGCodex finally obsolete?

Some of us are permanently banned on 4chan and need an alternative internet toilet to shit in. The Codex provides a very valuable service there.

 

[Rafidur]

Don't kid yourselves, it's the exact same level of discourse but without the facebook reaction emojis.

 

[Ataraxia]

facebook reaction emojis.

Soon...

Agreed. I've found the charts and infographics found on /v/, /vrpg/, /mu/, and /lit/ to be helpful when looking for new material. All other uses for 4chan is to shit post.

What happened to Red Panda?

He's gone.

Pace of the boards is a big problem. The truism of "/v/ was never good" doesn't necessarily contradict the fact that the website as a whole has become worse as it has grown, and around 2011 or so for /v/ was a turning point where the critical mass of drive-by shitposts really started to drown out any genuine discussions that were going on. 8chan was originally pretty decent due to the reduced pace (we're talking early exodus of gamergate people while it was still run by the cripple) when it had around 2,500-3,000 posts per hour but then that faggot from kiwifarms sabotaged the website and the feds started literally fedposting on /pol/.

 

[Tyranicon]

The people here are at least 500% older than the average shitposter.

 

[Joggerino]

4chan is trash

What a world we live in. It's fucking amazing.
Or that one time /pol/ called in an air strike on moderate beheaders.
Have YOU ever called an air strike on ISIS, Codex? Yeah, didn't think so.
/sg/ was magical.

 

[NJClaw]

Have YOU ever called an air strike on ISIS, Codex? Yeah, didn't think so.

I mean, we got people fired from their job. That has to count for something.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

*Our* people though.

Sorry, but as an Italian I'm still not allowed to associate in any way with my German neighbors.

True but any unmoderated forum is like that, the problem of 4chan is that it is only that, Jesus, there are pages and pages of just slightly variations of "You are tard." ,"Ur mom sucks." and "I'm going to be a big cunt now, so cowl.", it is like someone programmed a bot to procedurally generate the way teenagers talk and filled the threads with endless worthless random edgy procedural text quality nonsense. At least on the codex, even the tards are sometimes funny and say something worthy reading.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

An unmoderated forum is much better than an anonymous imageboard though. You get to know who's who and whether spending your time talking with someone on a given topic is worthwhile or not. With 4chan, every thread is a 'reset' and most of the content is shit anyways.

 

[Maxie]

I've browsed the /vrpg/ subforum quite some time ago making anonymous threads about the Codex to stir up some lukewarm shitposting, at the same time I looked up what constitutes taste in gaming there
Unfortunately I fell for the 'haha' meme and played Trials of Cold Steel, it was very bad

 

[Carpincho Pampeano]

Haha... That's our Codex for you!

They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Even a broken clock strikes twice a day, and if a retard makes a really smart post it is easy to discard his opinion because of your opinion of the user. Some for dumb opinions. On 4chan the posts value stands mostly on its own.
Also there is less skin in the game, you can make more hot takes and insults without forging any emnities. It often leads to an inferior comment culture full of baiting and contrarianism, but on a good board it also leads to interesting opions and discussions about stuff that doesn't get discussed often.
Also 4chan is like the only place left on the net without some sort of facebook like system. That is clearly a benefit.

You mean to say you don't do that here? Pfffft. Fag.

Which inevitably leads to addressing the poster instead of the argument. 4chan is mostly shit, but when it's good it makes for better discussions than any other platform I've come across.

Yeah there are some posters here I wouldn't call out for acting like niggers if they do, because I value them too much.
That problem does not exist on the chans, I am fairly sure one guy I regularily butt heads with in a general is also one of the better anons from there.
I raked him on April Fools for acting too Canadian. He got confined to Quebec for a day, and the experience scarred him.

 

[samuraigaiden]

Aren't Zoomers supposed to be incline, as opposed to Millenials?

Nobody is incline. Nobody

>4Chan is full of criminals and US government agents baiting each other
Opinion of Japanese anons from 2chan about 4chan lol.

 

[Takamori]

To be honest started posting here to avoid 4chan, got tired of the same memes being recycled over and over, wanted to discuss some western rpgs so here I'm.

Despite having some threads diving straight into retardoland like /v/ and some schizo posting, codex still have some sort of focused discourse regarding games. Battle Brothers thread for example fullfill its purpose of collecting information and sharing experiences and same for Colony Ship when the demo released and I expect the same when the EA arrive tomorrow.

Also upcoming RPG's besides the usual it looks like shit some rpgs grasp some interest and spawn some sort of discussion, could be better but we are miles away from being shit like /v/

I agree, but personally I don't think that it outweighs the advantage of being able to chat on a different topic with that same person in some other thread. There are some board regulars that you'd stumble upon constantly, but many good posts also come from people who just browse the chans once every blue moon.

Also there is less skin in the game, you can make more hot takes and insults without forging any emnities.

It's a matter of perspective I guess. I personally don't censor myself in order to maintain some 'forum image' as it were, but that is mostly due to the fact that the Codex isn't a normie forum (thanks largely due to its lenient moderation policy). As for emnities, I don't hold any grudges. If I don't like someone, it's mostly due to their opinions and not their personality (and since I don't use the ignore feature anyway, it's not like my prejudices would stop me from reading or engaging with a quality post from one of those people).

Also 4chan is like the only place left on the net without some sort of facebook like system. That is clearly a benefit.

With that I agree. Both forums and imageboards have their place on the internet.
