Leaving /po/ to the trolls? Anonymous
What does /po/ think? Should we start a forum and just abandon /po/ ?

Only thing is the Anonymous here on 4chan. Not sure how that could be fitted to a forum.

And how to keep trolls away if the forum address is published here in /po/?

Require registration at the forums? :/

Leaving means giving up.
At the very least, we should take over another board.

Problem is, we lack the manpower. Sure, we've got some tough players, but even taking on the weakest board(which is in fact, /po/) would result in severe casualties.

We're outnumbered 72 to 1, in the best case scenario.

/po/ has GETs?
>>182628
I think /f/ would be the easiest board to flood, personally. There's only 20 slots or so for flash files. The only way for them to get bumped is if someone responds to them. People don't always respond to the awesome ones, but they will commonly respond to something that sucks. Many of them forget to sage these responses, so crap continually stays on that board while some of the more fun flash files leave in a heartbeat. I remember 7chan's /i/ board even refused to invade /f/ even though they had no problem with flooding /po/. /f/ was too easy, even for them.
>> SageRGrate
Okay, so it has been decided, I have been proven wrong(another reason why I come to 4chan, there are people here who can prove me wrong, I get a kick out of it I think).
There are at least 2 boards /po/ can conquer.

Next questions.
1. Will we ask Lord /po/ppy for guiDAAAAAAWW

the faq mentions that mods are created if needed; so I don't know if we could have one. but we do deserve at least a janitor, to clean the spam and have somewhat of a control over raids and such
>> dai
quote from the FAQs-

--
Can I volunteer to become staff?
Yes and no. Admission to the moderation team is by invite only. Period. The janitor program is occasionally opened up to new applicants. Watch the global message and blotter for notices concerning the application process. If there is no advertised janitor recruitment going on, you're out of luck. Be patient!
--

I sent moot a mail during the /b/ invasion, in it I first of all notified him of the raid, but I also included the fact that I would volunteer for janitor work, and gave him a list of the other sites I've moderated/owned in the past and present, but I never received a mail back from him, so he either never found it, or just ignored my question.

maybe if we ask him, he can tell us how many mods/janitors are appointed to /po/, and let him know that they aren't doing their job and the need has risen to get the more active members taking care of things.

Well, the way I see it is, yes, if we went off and founded our own board, the trolls "win" but there are other things that should be taken into account, namely:

Thread post limits and auto-saging - which are both not in our favor as often we are slow to check back and many projects lead to many, many posts.

Page limits, we could easily have 20 or 30 or 50 pages of crafts that would allow old project threads that are still active but only slowly updated to keep running.

We can elect our own mods, and lots of them. Anybody who posts enough and is serious could have mod power, thus, one troll breaks in and we might have 5 guys ready with power to nip them in the bud.

It would give us the power to run our show as we see fit. Basically it would still be the 4chan /po/ we all know, just an independent entity that is not merely a weak chink in the empire of 4chan. Divide us from the main body and I imagine 98% of our troll issues and board issues would be resolved.
>> dai
     File :-(, x)
well, they don't technically win if they go away before we do it ;D

I might be able to host it as a subset of my home business's website, we have CRAPLOADS of bandwidth at our disposal.

Only thing we'd really need to do is set up a good forum... I suggest using CPG Dragonfly, since it has worked pretty well for my company thus far... I especially like the 'home' page that shows posted news articles and such. Much better than just having a blah list of forums.

I'm sure I can set it up to act a bit more like 4chan, where it will show a link to the most recently created/replied to thread.

the entire site is customizeable, users can select their preferred themes, moderation abilities are PLENTIFUL.

I'll volunteer to host if a few of you would help set things in motion.

Check their main site for a PLUGIN support area. I use e107 for my Evangelion site. They have a "Latests Forum Posts" plugin that displays the threads that have been most recently posted in. You can set it to be whatever number you want.

On the PLUS side. Threads don't have to EVER die in a forum like this. I manage it so that about once a year, I go through and clear the whole thing out (except for threads with replies in the last 2 months) The one thing you DO have to watch, is the SIZE of your database's and your folder size. Unless you're hosting it on your home computer.
>> dai
     File :-(, x)
well, everything should be stored on my home computer, and don't worry about size. Between 11 computers and a pile of external harddrives, I'm set.

Though, I think it would be a good idea to encourage people to host their own files elsewhere, like photofuckit or imageshat, posting in the forum via [img] tags and such.

So, anyone else support this whole thing?
>> Storm
I'm for it.

As for file storage :D well, I just set up a megaupload account for myself, and I'm dumping a LOT of zip files in there lol ALL papercraft.

Its part of my whole "get organized" blitz.

So far... 300 duplicate papercrafts on my HDD.

I tried converting some of them to PDF files, to upload here, but with an 8 meg or so limit, that knocks about 90% of my pdf's out.... and it doesn't allow Zips sooo...
>> Storm
LMAO, dude, your room looks like mine, except I have a couple fewer screens. (only 4 computers, 6 screens, and 1 laptop.)

Oh, and I see one of those 3 sided rulers someone was asking about.

They're called SCALES, folks. They come in several varieties. I have a Drafting Scale, and Engineering Scale. Basically it lets you use a 1:1 measure to take a real measurement and then convert it down to say 1:36th or 1:50th, depending on the triangular scale. (my Engineering one is METAL, which is EXCELLENT for Papercrafting)

Alright, things have been set in motion, but to kick things off right we need to select a subdomain. I have created a poll and a corresponding journal entry (which covers most of which you should already know) at my deviant art, which can be found here-
http://daijitsu.deviantart.com/journal/20661812/

you have to be registered to vote and leave comments, but if you're not reg'd, it's just 30 seconds to make an account. You'll probably spend more time reading this message than you will on the site.

if you still don't want to do that, you can find my email on my devArt's profile page and send me a message.

as soon as a subdomain is decided, I can set up the new forum system and start letting in registration. If we start having troll problems, I'll have to make registration a process requiring admin confirmation, which should prevent people who've been banned from immediately re-joining. It's a painful process, but that's what it's designed for.
>> Anonymous
Just wanted to mention about the mod/janitor thing, Moot accepted applications for that some time ago and there wasn't any real word after that. 4chan got raided a couple times so he was busy with soup and other things.

I'm for a separate papercraft forum, if only because we need more English boards about papercraft. However, I don't think we should just abandon /po/ in the process. It's better for quick questions and collaborations compared to a traditional board.

Also, don't let these tards think the surge is working.
>> SageRGrate
>>184608
I agree, I don't think we should let /po/ become a ghostboard all of a sudden. But a separate /po/oper forum could be incredibly useful, much more so than the wiki.

We could get different sections for WIPs, Completed builds, Stencils even. Tutorials on papercrafting, stencilmaking, 3d modeling FOR papercrafting, the possibilities are massive.

I also suggest that we keep it 100% /po/-oriented. I have seen too many boards about a certain topic derail and die at the hands of a general discussion area. Some of those were my own.
>> dai
Plans are already being laid out for the forum. I have already made the conscious decision to leave out a general discussion area.

Rules for the board will be stricter than 4chan (as if there's any moderation here ANYWAYS). I don't think we'll have any problem with it.

First and foremost, when posting work that isn't yours, sources are needed and credit is to be given to the original author (unless it's a request to find said item, in which case it will hopefully be found)

I'm trying to keep everything together as one unit, while still keeping everything orderly.

Here's what I have so far for the forum setup-

-forum-
•News/Highlights•
(mod/admin write only, this will involve putting things worth mentioning up. Duh.)

•Papercraft•
-Interests- (simply put, it's "I found this model", and "I put together that model". Stuff that isn't yours, but it's cool and worth note.)
-User Created- (self explainatory, this will be where creators go to post projects in progress or complete)
-Requests- (obvious)

•Origami•
-Traditional- (classic style square sheet)
-Extreme- (needs a better name. Stuff like the nekobus, near impossible for many people to do)
-Unique- (things like MoneyGami and the like, where an off-the-beaten-path attitude takes charge)
-Requests- (blah)

•Print•
-Stencils- (stencils)
-Stickers and Vinyls- (things like graphics you put on a car)
-Unique- (...I don't know. You figure it out. Maybe those 2d cutout anime girls that look like they're interacting with your hand or something)
-Requests- (FFFF)

•Tutorials•
(there will be a section to cover all the previous categories)

Right. I don't agree so I must be a troll. That train of thought is why there is a want/need for a board like 4chan to begin with.

>How dare we make people act civilized!
You don't force people into civilization. That kind of thing might build an empire but it'll collapse, as Eddie Izzard says, "Like a flan in a cupboard."

The majority of /po/ is perfectly capable of having a semi-civil conversation (as evidenced by this very thread), and to suggest that people must be funneled into a network of suppressive censorship in order for anything useful to occur is just a tad unnecessary.

As I originally stated, I think it's good to have a forum where a more permanent state of work and community can exist, but it's also good to have a board where quick communication can occur without the burden of strict identity.

tl;dr You're not the boss of me now and you're not so big.
>> Chris, previously known as Anon
So the incest spammerbot is still doing his runs.
I remember this happened to another forum, postcardx. There was some virus or retard deleting profiles of people on a massive scale, some say it could be a virus. That's the trouble with open forums such as the 4chan network. Losers such as our inbred friend /po oper thinks it funny to flood the same image over again. We all get the joke and it's not funny. I don't think we should abandon /po because this will only get them the satisfaction of winning. I have only been here since for 8 months and collected some great models, you guys have been very helpful with requestion. It's just a pity there are some really nasty people bent on causing destruction as much as possible.
We should all stay and fight this.
>> SageRGrate
>>184647
You would still be able to speak freely; However, if your words are inappropriate(such as flaming a newbie, or posting a CP story in a stencil thread) one must be able to punish you for that. We're not saying "Don't do that", we're saying "Do that and we'll do this" so that you can decide whether or not you still want to.

I don't think the Anon mod would be necessary, 50% of /po/ is namefagging already.
If you're sticking with CPG Dragonfly I suggest we make it as accessible as possible, sort of the Internet's papercraft HQ. Using the Downloads add-on we could make a papercraft-database, with downloads just a click or 2 away. It would need some serious moderating though. I'll volunteer for the database management if you decide to go through with it, I need something to get my iron-fisted rule through without inciting the wrath of the /p(e)o/ople.

I'll also look into custom themes, I might be able to whip something up, it'll be good practice.

I'll rummage through the PHPBB3 styles as well, I'm thinking black with light grey... And possibly some lightish green. Black Pearl looks promising, though it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

Now you darned MySQL failure, begone and let me post!

>>184695
Dear Chris,

We are not abandoning /po/ really. We're just making a second base of operations that would in the end be more reliable as 4chan. For example: Chamoo posted her D0g model recently, to which we all rejoiced. Unfortunately someone was smart enough to cause a major influx of Digg users that meant the beginning of the end.
The /po/oper spam drove the topic off of the 10th page, losing it forever.

On our new forum this can not happen, as the D0g topic could get spammed like the motherfucking fist of the north star but it wouldn't vanish. Also, on that forum we, the /po/triots, have the power of administration and moderation, therefore the power to nip these spamfloods in the bud.

/po/ will always be our home, it will always be our birthplace.

What of those of us who are not still in diapers and have been papercrafting since before 4chan came into existence? Some of us remember when the paper board on Smartgroups was started. Some of us started before the intarwebs and got models from Slavic magazines. "Whoa hoa 4chan /po/ is the great because 4chan /po/ invented papercraft!" the only use this shitty little board has been good for is locating pirated kits that I'm not willing to spend over €30 on.
>> SageRGrate
>>184722
Well Mr McTwistedKnickers, what you're saying is pointless and generally retarded. I am sure there are a lot of you out there who started papercrafting before /po/ existed, but the truth of the matter is that all /po/opers get their general fix from /po/ and most /po/triots actually came in contact with this fine pastime here.

I'm not saying /po/ is the ultimate place for papercrafting(Actually, it probably is) or the creator of it, I'm saying /po/ is where most of us originated from. Sure, even I've built some paper models from magazines before I had a compoopar but it was /po/ who got me into this thing, and look at me now: I am struggling with the background image in Blender so I can deliver to you what you requested: Guns that aren't from the Kamikuzu pack.

>>184681
To each his own, I suppose.

Personally, I'd like the move to a fully functional forum for a few reasons, all of which can be a double edged blade when you think about it-

•first and foremost, organization. Here on 4chan, everything and anything ends up in one linear list, and you have to dig past several pages of random junk to come across something of interest. On a full forum, everything can be categorized into subforums so, for instance, people who are looking to find something can go to requests, and people who are looking to take up a project do the same.

•Registration- this process will deter spammers, bots, and raiders, since it takes time and effort to register a new account every time with valid e-mail addresses when you start getting yourself banned over and over, as opposed to being able to get away with dynamic IP addresses around here.

•no auto-pruning- Leaving 4chan for a day and finding a thread gone has always proven annoying as all hell, and with the forum system threads, as sageRgrate said, can be spam raped until the end of time and still be on the board. To save space, though, it would be a good idea for moderators to archive and delete things as necessary.

of course, that's all the stuff you're trying to avoid by staying on 4chan, right? Makes sense to want to just have a fast-moving place with something fresh on the front page here and there. The issues are still evident, it's just a matter of weather or not you want to deal with them or not.


>>184722

I'm not crediting 4chan with anything more than providing a fast and accessible way to go about this. I DO credit 4chan for having /b/, and I credit /b/ for getting bored every now and again.

Well, I came here for the porn. Or the vidya, not so sure anymore. Probably a combination of both.

Then I got to /b/, had some fun, Gaia started showing up, okay, more Gaia, left, SHITLOAD OF GAIA OMFG, never returned.

Just checked it out. Glad I never returned. Might as well go make some animeavatar and post for gold.

it's interesting, and gave me an idea- There's a "Post icon" modification on a forum I frequent, where the poster can choose a small symbol that describes the post.

If someone can help figure out how we could implement this in phpbb3, that would be helpful. the forum I pointed out here uses vbullitin, but I need to pay a hundred dollars for a year licence, or much more for a 'lifetime' usage term. Screw that (unless you people feel REALLY generous and want to donate some money for the cause)

Mr dai, there should already be exlamation marks, emoticons and question marks for post icons, what exactly are you looking for?
>> SageRGrate
>>184828
Wish I could help you to implement it, but if you need suggestions just give a holler.

Here's a thought: Save everything that needs to be saved, leave /po/ for a while, and check back every now and then to see if it's all stopped. You know?

simple enough, no?

just trying to keep things organized.

as for 'difficulty levels' as mentioned earlier, we're either going to have to devise that post icon system I mentioned or simply put [difficult] in your post title

Requests for print?

>> SageRGrate

>> dai
well, it would be something along the lines of requesting either assistance turning an image into said vinyl/sticker, or finding a specific one on the market, or whatever.

PRINTS would be an odd thing to request... unless it's like, asking where to go to get stuff professionally printed or whatever.

I'm sure people will figure it all out on their own.

... seriously?
eh. i guess i wouldn't oppose having a separate forum. I come here for /po/ and /a/, and occasionally /trv/ and /an/ and /h/ and... ok. so I'll still be on 4chan even if we 'move'.
>> Anonymous

This makes me sad, I just got into papercraft and now all this bullshit is happening
I don't /po/ to move ;_;
>> dai
>>185160

no real worries, /po/ isn't REALLY going anywhere. I know lots of people will continue to use this place as their main source of papercraftiness, but for the chunk of us who want a little more of a dedicated community that isn't a single click away from /b/, there will be the separate forum.

I'm sure most of us might spend some good time coming here to keep up conversations and help out with stuff, but we won't be solely reliant on 4chan and it's topic-pruning ways to keep things of interest afloat.

Well, I'm setting up a wikidot site. I know that's where all of /po/'s stuff gets archived, so I gave it a whack, and have found it to be surprisingly robust.

It even has a forum system (though I doubt it's power). I'm trying to set it up, but having little luck. It's supposed to look like this- http://community.wikidot.com/forum:start
but is currently http://paperworks.wikidot.com/forum:start

Still, please sign up to the site to get things going, and send me a PM to let me know if you can help with the site- I'll set some people up as moderators.

Well, I signed up so far, actually got the supercomplex password wrong(Freaking case-sensitive shit) and I'll get into the creator/moderator business, later, I'll check out the place first.

I just noticed I'm listed under Moderators already... That was fast. Can't even remember PMing you. Are this mistake or are I the Chosen One?

I'll just start a page or 2 to mess around with the system and try to create something useful...
I'm not going to create my own page first though, not THAT selfcentered. Today.
>> Storm
LMAO, ya, I got the password wrong too.

btw. storm = stormofdragons.

left a post on the forum with some ideas.

what a novel concept... the spamfag can't wipe it out with shite.

btw, hope that software lets the admins see the IP of the posters so you can ban the SOB when he comes and tries to attack, cause you know he will.

>>185290
Sage, I remember you asking about it on Deviant art, and just happened to check the members list when you joined!

>>185289
I think I'm going to have to make a suggestions forum for this kind of stuff...

also, I think that the fact that you have to register is a deterrent in itself, since it will require him to make a new wikidot account with all new info, AND re-register on our site.
>> Storm
ya, that would be a good idea. Once the site gets up and running it will die off, and you'll likely be lucky to see 1-2 posts there a month. BUT as things are starting, it would be good to have.

Also, what software is this using? I design new themes for my website about every 6 months, so it shouldn't be too difficult to either find and edit the .css or .php files that are used for the sites themes.
>> SageRGrate
Okay guys, I just posted the first official thread on /pw/(it's what I'll be referring to PaperWorks as I think, to stay true to it's roots) and have noticed a discrepency! As I mention in the thread, we need a WIP section for Papercraft(at least, Origami might need one too, Stencil... well.. Not really).

Also is the wikidot going to be the final setup or is this a temporary solution? 'cause if it's the final setup I'll look into the system a bit more.
>> Anonymous
<--- [slowpoke goes here]

i didn't read everything carefully but got the idea.

Now, a question: here on /po/, the imageboard format allows us to have several threads on one page (with the image well placed). I think that's extremely useful compared to traditional forums. Maybe there is some sort of plugin for the forum software you've chosen that builds a page with the OP and latest X replies of the latest Y threads? That would mimic /po/'s behaviour nicely.
>> tamatamamonkey
>>185305
yes we will be needing a WiP section. I will refrain from posting any of my stuff til its there so it wont make too much stuff to move before the forum is ready for it
>> SageRGrate
>>185324
Well, we have already expressed interest in a sort of "news ticker" that will keep the most active threads in a box on the first page.

Note also that /pw/ is an extension to /po/, not a full replacement.

Also I know shit about IRC and was an idiot for ever claiming to be able to understand it without getting struck by the Black Lazy.

In other knews, the FAMAS G2 now has a trigger.

Just bumping this, nothing to see here. The more /po/dres, the merrier. It's actually taking off quite well, but that is mostly because we have an already established base.

Welp, looks like the trolls won again. My message was deleted even though I was telling the truth, but here's what happened. The last time this spamming happened, /po/ thought it would be a great idea to start a seperate forum and a Yahoo community. They both failed horribly and nobody ever used them because by the time people found out about them, the spamming stopped. And look, it's slowly grinding to a halt right now. Last time we lost Wolf, because he was the one that started the Yahoo community. So if you register at the new site, you're saying "hey trolls, you won!"
>> SageRGrate
>>185407
I believe there is a difference, in that what we are doing is not abandoning /po/, just expanding on it. What we plan to do is create a system where we can easily manage the content and userbase, and hopefully arrange it so that it becomes easy for us to, when someone requests that a certain papercraft be found, we can just refer him to the database as such:

YEAR: 195 A.C.
Anon/po/oper #1: Hey guys I just saw an image in MacGoogalSoftSearch of this preWWIII-era weapon, I think it's something French:[Shows image of FAMAS G2]
Anon/po/oper /k/ommando: That's the FAMAS model made by SageRGrate, you can find it over at /pw/'s database, he's one of the earliest members there.

Anon/po/oper goes off to database, finds model, builds model, lives happily ever after.
The end.

/po/ will always be /po/.
