/baw/ - General Discussion

8chan is necessary, despite its ugliness.

Why are so many movie stars cultists?

I mean, scientology is a collection of them, but even Gwyneth Paltrow has her own snake-oil company that also has its own culty scam seminars

Because stardom makes their lives hell. They can't do as much as go down to the groceries without people flocking over them. Cults are a place where that doesn't matter, and it gives them a sense of belonging too, so when the join they feel a level of appretiation they do not feel elsewhere.

It is one place where they can go to and meet people without stardom being a problem.

That, or they are just scammers who know that people go to cults for that reason, and they try to take advantage of that.

HOLA, SENOR!

Just keep politics in the politics thread and we'll all have a good time.

The last politics thread is not bumping anymore so might as well use this as the new one?

Any guy from Indonesia is not white, therefore no one will talk about it if he kills someone.

I definitely think those are fair points, I just think in most cases JS should be a bonus enhancer rather then a requirement. On some sites that can't be done, but forums and imageboards rarely have a need to require JS just to load and post (captcha being the biggest exception I can think of)

>>418462
On a fundamental level, an imageboard (or any social network site for that matter) does not need it, yes, and I do make it a point to get every site I work on done with bare minimum javascript. But on a practical level, the site needs it really badly, to make things simpler and faster for the users. People don't sit in front of the monitor pressing F5 F5 F5 when waiting for replies; they expect their phone to ping to notify them of a new reply. That's just how it is now.

Regardless of that, I want the new design to retain every function of the current one, there must be no regressions. And that means there's still some work left to be done.

>I'm happy to test on demo whenever needed.
I've updated it with an alpha/preview for you to check.

For what purpose?

>>418406
To try and see if it works.

>>418404
I noticed yesterday. Time to post.

Thread is autosaging, so 400 is the limit?

>>418317
It's 400 on /baw/, 500 on /coc/, should be 300 everywhere else.

>>418168
Occasionally being mistaken for spam is just the price of looking enigmatic.

>>418170
I can sympathize with that

EVERYTHINGS COMING UP NEWGROUNDS!

Good joj.

Exhibition shooting is honestly pretty interesting, and I wouldn't mind taking it up.

>>417845
Oh, what happened now?

>>417828
I think most people just forgot about this site. The site being semi-broken for a few years probably didn't help, and neither does the fact that most people browse from mobiles (we don't have a mobile layout yet).

>>417825
Oh, +8ch IS dead. I just need to be arsed enough to make a shitty MS Paint edit to celebrate it's death, and it will be over.

>>417829
It's interesting though, I've been checking the archives lately, and a lot of people who are normally on tumblr were posting here. Some bigger webcomic artists too.

I think it was the design change that killed the site, then the fact that 4chan added /aco/ (which is an incredibly shit board, but because it is on 4chan, it sucks away traffic from everywhere else).

>>417659
A good thing happened.

>>417676

Err... no, and no.

It was unlikely I'd have all my shit stolen, lose my savings, and be evicted for no reason in 7 days in the first place.

I put my faith in Blast Hardcheese.
