Fear what? 5 dudes screeching in chat channel? Please.
From the moment I realized the vulnerability of my flesh, it repulsed me.

I yearned for the protection and stability of a hard shell. I sought the serenity of the Turtle.

Your kind hold onto your softness, as if it will not deteriorate and betray you.

One day the fragile form you call a body will wither, and you will plead with my kind to shield you.

But I am already shielded, for the Shell is unyielding…

On this site and beyond, I am a Mighty Turtle.

would be real interesting to be able to view the archive of the shoutbox when it was live for half a day or whatever.. makes one wonder if anything could be gleaned from it, any patterns of behavior or something of that ilk. it seems rather queer that there's no way to view the actual archive of the nu-shoutbox without the nu-shoutbox being open.

how convenient. how... curious.

edit: oooh it can be viewed I had tried the incorrect url

DarkUnderlord: Your annually mandated 12 hours of shoutboxing begins now.
Clockwork Knight: henlo
StrongBelwas: huh
jebsmoker: oh no
Clockwork Knight: hey I remember that sugar cane conversation
jebsmoker: suffer
PorkyThePaladin: hhmm
PorkyThePaladin: well well, guess what's back
PorkyThePaladin: crispy, we insulted you a lot on the official codex discord
PorkyThePaladin: but i just want to tell you
PorkyThePaladin: that it will be a lot more enjoyable to insult you in person
Clockwork Knight: shoutbox is back for five minutes and it's already about discord drama

Interesting, even they admit it. But no, it was Turtle Zone causing drama, not discord troons...

Mebrilia the Viera Queen: Hallo!!
Nelka: NO NO
Barabus: hi hi hihihihi
Nelka: MEBS IS BACK
jebsmoker: im guessing shoutbox is only back for like a day
Mebrilia the Viera Queen: Yes
Mebrilia the Viera Queen: Depends if people will behave or not.


Definitely something with which a normal user would respond. Certainly not something that someone connected to the staff would know...

Curious.

Because i don't know. Almost like the last time some users behaviour caused shoutbox to be closed. Nice try tho.

Gosh people and your petulant never ending paranoia.

Also Skinwalker why are you constantly triggered?

For people claiming their forum is the greatest place on earth, HQers sure spend a lot of time over on the Codex.
Reprobates make a huge performance out of having their own site with blackjack & hookers yet they'll never actually leave.
Mods should just start nuking accounts of the shitposters keeping one foot out the door like this, their attention seeking histrionics and perpetuation of gay feuds won't be missed.

there's no reason to ban someone unless if they cross a line that shouldn't be crossed

ribbing someone is fine - it releases tension, but if you get deeply personal then maybe trading barbs with internet strangers isn't for you

That was nobody to blame. I think it was planned as a joke. If you check the log of the last shoutbox section someone and i don't remember who. Told that Dark underlord must have re opened it by mistake or... It could be that DU reopened it for trolling.

You would know the plan if you were a turtle. But your kind can only fear the shell.

Wait, so the turtle zone, one of the cliques that killled the shoutbox, remains while the shoutbox was sacrificed? What kind of bullshit is that.

I have no stakes here, save this for the dudes getting threadbanned and bringing up dead husbands.
good call

Because they are all degenerate. Offsite or private chatrooms are the problem. They facilitate the cliques that cause the drama, while innocent shoutbox takes the blame.

One single chatroom managed on site open to all is the way. The shoutbox was a pure experience, all the rest are just garbage social media.

you should probably get over your weird emotional attachment to shoutbox because this is just plain weird

It all got shutdown, but I am a turtle zone member, so I still have access to the archives.

That last log was from the day or so DU brought back Shoutbox - for grins, apparently.

It's actually the opposite.

Offsite rooms and Discords can just ban the affected users without involving Codex mods themselves. The problem with Shoutbox is that it's all here, and therefore anything that happens on it is an issue for Codex moderators and admins. That's how people get banned.

The other issue is that there are a lot of users here that see it and get drawn into the honeypot of either simping or getting baited. Have all the conversations about others in some private Discord you want, but here they can see you do it and get drawn in.

If you're worried about people organizing things, well, RPGHQ's IRC is public, and Meb's Discord, which she has regardless, is not.

The thing is, I don't actually like chat rooms or really want to go to a place and chat with people. I don't want any internet friend or really even to establish any kind of casual relationship with other people online.

The shoutbox was a nice convenient place I could kind of think out loud in and get immediate feedback on those thoughts. Sort of like posting in the forum, but with more immediate feedback. Also it was a place to pass time in if I was bored and didn't feel like doing something that required more effort.

Discord and other shit like that doesn't provide that.

I have decided to open Shoutbox for another 12-hour play test period this weekend. Stay tuned for more info. Please cooperate DarkUnderlord
Patch changelog will be public in a day or two, we decided to buff or nerf some users to make the experience more enjoyable. We are also working extra hard to improve Mebs's english. Thank you for being with us!
