>I just want to see how many of you ever actually read the second post in the threads for all those years to know to come here when 4chan is down.
I did. Sad I could'nt post sooner, but may this post show you that you aren't alone.

>>420038
Huzzah. I wanted to leave a ghost post in the desuarchive of the last thread we had as a stronger reminder, but ghost posting is broken now. The captcha won't load at all over there for me.

I've been trying get the word out to regulars, but that's kind of a hard task since I was never in any of the off-site circles other than here and the wiki. Hopefully Magi will see the post I made in his thread and will be able to get bug in the know and maybe that will get anyone in the drawpile (participants or lurkers) over here if we're sticking this out for the long haul.

Hello

Magi passed the message along to bug. Apparently bug's computer has some issues with plus4chan's current Red Alert thing it's doing though.
Hopefully things will be different by Sunday or whenever the next drawpile will be since Sunday is Easter.

>>420043
Hey.

Drawpile host, standing by. Been a bit since i checked in here.

>>420044
I'm assuming on my end that, if Sunday rolls around and at least the regulars on Bug's side are cool with it, i just post the link to join over here.

>>420044
>Apparently bug's computer has some issues with plus4chan's current Red Alert thing
Firefox with an extension to disable javascript (noscript, ublock...) does wonders for lurking. Posting is another matter though.
I'm eager to know if this place will really be /coc/ refuge in the end.

>>420047
Personally Im gonna be keeping a thread open to refresh 4chan every so often, for the next who knows how long, up to a month I guess.
Glad I remember this place.

>>420047
I have FF with noscript on it. It's not set up to block plus4 though.
I think it's just the CSS from the Red Alert thing because I can hear a fan spinning faster whenever I have plus4chan open with that going. The site runs and loads fine for me though, this background thing they're doing is just an extra load on the machine.

This has been the go-to collection place for /coc/ since before even the wiki was made. It's been pretty consistent over the past... 16+ years.

>>420025
Cute image, like the choice of characters.

>>420050
I remember when he had to take shelter here the first time he became homeless.
I probably still have that comic somewhere.

>>420051
I thought an image with a mix of old and new (or currently popular at least) characters would work best.
The tea sipping also worked well for the current situation.

>>420052
I have all my old drawings on an old pc but i haven't gone back to it in forever.

Newman's gonna end up working with /k/ at some point in the future, probably when Conrad marries Becky and he goes back to secret agent shenanigans. I've had /k/ and /n/ as close cousins on 4chan (/n/- News was created because of the stormfronters on /k/, supposedly. It also helps that I naturally leaned into Weapons since n was my homeboard). It'll be fun to have Newman and k work together since people don't know much about k and I wanna spend time shooting with my partner.

>>420055
What World of Darkness creature is this?

I was trying to have a conversation about vampires and a superpowered werewolf army in the thread that died on Monday morning.

>>420061
I wanted to create some weird flesh monster

I'll tweak colors after everything gets set

Interesting. The daily view count on the wiki has spiked over the last few days.
I added a notice to the wiki to see if I can redirect anyone to here while shit is still broken.

>>420065
Seems like people felt compelled to adapt the recent events into the board-tan mythos, judging from the edit history.

>>420066
That's all well and good.
Interpreting events in that context at least gives a reason for the board-tans to get some use again.

If/when this is sorted out it will be interesting to hear about the "homeless" arc of the board-tans and where they went after their house got blown up.

>>420066
Does that mean someone may draw Colette and me together?

>>420070
moot was a catgirl, hiro is some kind of moon rabbit.
Does anyone know what you are depicted as, oh tortured soul?

>>420071
there was some fanart before, see:
>>>/co/425566
>>>/co/425481
>>>/co/426500
>>>/tnt/7857

basically it's a man in a heavy duty flameproof armor.
anons drew him before, using the pink capcode colors instead of Nod's traditional red.

>>420072
>>420073
I was thinking of the villain from Green Lantern's Blackest Night event.

Shit, Holiday Lanterns isn't going to happen for Easter. Or the Serenity storytime.

>>420081
Post a recap of Time Weasel and his feud with the Wild Witch for thread context.

Getting discussion going here is likely going to be challenging; there's less posting urgency since this thread will likely exist for as long as this website will.
It's a different mood than struggling to keep the thread up all the time.

>>420091
Oh damn you're right.
I hope no one minds waiting as i copy/paste from the archives.

>>420097
Well at least you found it.
There aren't even enough threads on this board for page 10 to exist yet, much less the 30 page limit there seems to be here.

>>420096
This is a good opportunity for you to summarize, condense, and harmonize your idea's internal consistency. Pick your starting point and such.
If her guns are in his museum in the future before he ever tried to steal her heart, who was filling the museum before TW?

>>420097
Rest easy, hero...

>>420099
They have ascended beyond this mortal coil.

>>420100
I'm sad that Le Bump never met his moral enemy: El Sage.

I didn't get to ask before since it was the last post before he thread died.
Who is the girl that is being claimed as unnamed family to The Bearded Skeleton in the drawpile pic?

>>420098
>If her guns are in his museum in the future before he ever tried to steal her heart
Oh shit, i'm sorry, that's a continuity error. I rushed the post so i copy/pasted his first origin post without properly editing it to fit current established story. His goal was changed from the pistols to the heart later on in a meta sense so please just ignore the pistols thing, from the very start he was after her heart.

>>420103
You should recompile it, get the idea structured in the right order. Then you can pump out the Tom and Jerry plots easily.

>>420104
I should. I hope no one minds if it takes long, going through the archives will be a while, and i am tired at the moment.
Although i hope no one mind if i make a request for Weasel and Witch OC.
I want the two of them jumping at each other with their pistols out like that one scene in the Matrix.

>>420106
It doesn't play nice with FireFox, but I do hope the usual crowd is able to find it.

>>420105
Time is something we have plenty of.
TW probably could do that Matrix dodging thing, couldn't he?

>>420107
>It doesn't play nice with FireFox
Like on web browser? Yeah, browser drawing is relatively new. I do recommend getting the desktop version, it's really not that big of a program

Question from the pile: We have any site tan for plus4chan?

>>420109
see
>>>/co/477304
and
>>420073

>>420107
Well he can slow down bullets around him.

>>420108
Yeah, web browser. I tried popping in there to see if there was a way to leave a message so the regulars there could find this place. I got a bunch of errors instead.

>>420112
Everyone in here so far already knows of the thread. Unfortunately it's a bit small in attendance.

My suggestion would to make the wiki link to here a bit more obvious, that's likely our best chance to grab eyes

>>420113
I'm limited by the fandom options. I could add an image to it to make it more noticeable if anyone has any suggestions.
Or do you mean an exact link to this thread?

>>420114
There's no way to make it a dedicated paragraph to the homepage?

But as for direct link, maybe for the desuarchive?

>>420115
I'm talking about the little notification thing in the lower left of the wiki that comes up when you open the site. It'll stay there until the first time it is closed, then it won't come back on subsequent visits to the wiki unless I make a new notification.
What I'm asking is, do you mean there should be a direct link to this board in that notification?
And what I'm also suggesting is I can add an image to it to make it more noticeable to visitors. Something animated might work best, really force some eyes on it.

As for desuarchive, there's already a ghost post in the last thread saying to come to plus4's /coc/ board and the link is in the first post of every /coc/ thread. There's not much else I can do there.

>>420025
do channel-tans count as /co/ characters? (i mean i have a thread about them on this board, but i was wonderin' if anyone was gonna put 'em here, too)

>>420118
They are something that /co/ created, so yes, they fall under the banner of /coc/.

If you mean them being put on the wiki, that didn't happen because I'm just ignorant of them and none of the anons who were into that project bothered to do it themselves.

>>420098
>Well at least you found it.
I'm not Le Bump anon tho', I'm just the one who was writing the greentext with Le Bump and Ladybug.
I hope to see everyone again soon.

>>420116
Hmm, probably having a image might do well. like you said, good to catch the eye with

>>420122
ooooh, nice use of transparency

Weird transactional thread

>>420126
>transactional
Huh?

>>420126
What?

>>420121
At least that answers the question of who that girl is.
She's new.

>>420123
Neat. I'm gonna guess this is when he started using his powers for survival purposes.

>>420124
Animated /coc/ images are limited.
I can check what I have after I'm done with work for today if no one else has a suitable image to suggest.

>>420121
Skateboard were in the 50s?

>>420130
If they were (and I think they were) they didn't yet have the curved front and back sides until later, the first skateboards were flat all the way across.
Oh well thought because BIG TITS

>>420131
It's only because I watched Back to the future and Marty ripped out a piece of wood from a kids scooter and rode it. No one had any idea what he was riding. But no complaints on the artwork, it's hilarious.

>>420130
A search tells me that yes, skateboards were invented during the 50s, or at least that's when the name "skateboard" was coined as a commercial product.
The "Roller Derby Skateboard" hit the markets in 1959, but they existed before then has cobbled together contraptions.

Interesting, skateboarding is thought to have come into existence because surfers wanted something to do on dry land.
Katya now needs a skateboard in keeping with her surfer cover. This opens up new idea threads of Golden Girl vs Iron Girl in a dangerous downhill race in a bid to sway the local youths.

>>420128
>>420127
Sorry typo, I meant Transitional.

>>420133
Yeah but GG takes place in 1955 same with bttf. It was 4 years before. They got really popular in the late 70s and 80s. Then Tony Hawk was born

Refresh your tabs boys, the background is gone

>>420135
In the 1940s the idea of skateboards came into existence. They were originally a board or piece of wooden crate with roller skates stuck to them, hence the name skateboard, but it wasn't called that until later.
It was called "sidewalk surfing" at first because surfers were the ones making the things and using them.

This is just from the wikipedia page on the history of skateboarding, so it's not like I have scholarly sources. But I have no reason to doubt the factual accuracy of the page.

>>420137
>sidewalk surfing
Maybe not actual skateboards but Audrey could try something like that.

>>420138
I'm imagining a down hill derby contest between IG and GG, likely to sway some group of kids or to get them to stop idolizing IG.

IG's aerodynamic form is better at maneuvering and turning, but GG's front heaviness allows her greater forward momentum and a higher top speed. While IG might be ahead during the initial turns, the downhill straightaway is where GG pulls out ahead of IG to win.

>>420121
Why is Audrey riding a skateboard with "BIG TITS" on it when she's the flattest girl in /coc/?

>>420140
The irony

>>420142
I was thinking more along the lines of using his powers to escape captivity.

>>420136
Maybe bug will be able to post here directly now.

>>420124
I've made an edit. How does that work for you? It may not be visible if you've already dismissed the notice before. Not sure how that works.

>>420121
>>420146
Hmmm what's the difference?

>>420147
Oh, there probably is none. I didn't see that it had already been posted. My mistake.

>>420146
I'll ask again about the new girl.
Is she one of Magi's brainchildren or did she come from a drawpile conversation?

>>420150
Happy trails then.

>>420151
Is her sword another Vorpal blade like what one of the members of Britainment has?

https://character.ai/chat/2LymUA9fX711QX1_VTrqz5qZ3350pBV0Yf2hrW6h8AE
I've attempted to set up a Golden Girl bot to chat with. I can add to the character definition if you post some fun conversations, it'll help with refining the character I guess. Keep in mind the star ratings do nothing to aid with that, it's only for developers to look at and see what kind messages are preferred or not and have nothing to do with how the character acts on its own.

>>420156
Out of curiosity, which avenue led you here? The first post in every thread, the ghost post on the last thread we had in the archives, the wiki notification, or something else?

>>420158
plus4chan is a separate site entirely.

The witch is new. What's going on with her?

>>420150
Hope you find some balance, anon. i obviously would like to see you come back, but if that's not in the cards, take care of yourself, nonetheless

>>420156
>>420158
glad to see another of the new blood make their way here. Now we can post ideas when they come up, or we can just wait until the weekend. we are creatures of habit, after all.

>>420160
You may as well post whenever. The thread is not going anywhere and anyone here will see it when next they check the thread.
It's a weird feeling. There's no pressure to keep the thread alive.

I would like to talk more about the GG vs IG derby idea. That whole thing would need a third party commentator taking the place of the narrator. Who could fill a role like that?

Would Roller Betty be pissed about people tying roller skates to boards and boxes or would she not care at all?
I think she hates IG as much as she hates GG.

>>420154
What kind of conversations? I have no idea how any of that works. Does the AI just pull from the internet when there is no reference in its internal database?

>>420161
Has she had any interaction with IG yet?

I would imagine that RB would try to upstage IG by skating past her backwards while IG is boarding to establish superiority
Though this might not end well for her if there are obstacles in the way

>>420161
Sad the og threads are dead but at least we can still celebrate GG's 10th anniversary here

>>420167
I'm not sure. I think it was discussed at one point when the idea of IG trying to recruit Billy to her ideology was floated, but it didn't go anywhere.

Maybe the set up for this plot is IG is trying to form a gang (again?) and some of the gang are Betty's boys.

>>420168
If we can get most of our regulars over to here then /coc/ will at least live on while 4chan is busy being dead.

>>420169
Does Betty have a general dislike of other girls?
Like a general protective jealousy over Billy, "they're trying to steal my man" mentality

>>420168
I could swear this is the second year i heard people wanting to celebrate her 10 anniversary

>>420170
I could see her has being weary/aggressive towards any girl she sees as coming between her and Billy, or hampering her odds of winning Billy's heart.

I think there is one pic of Billy and Katya interacting, but no story behind it.

>>420171
Last year anons were hyping it up. She was created on June 28th, 2015.
Maybe that anon who was doing a bunch of commissioned comics will find his way to this board.

>>420172
>I think there is one pic of Billy and Katya interacting, but no story behind it.
Think that came about 'round the time someone floated the idea of IG trying to recruit some villains together to take down the heroes. But I don't remember it getting very far.

>>420173
I remember a pic of GG IG Billy RB and Iris were at a beach. I think that be a good place they all meet for the first time.

>>420174
Best I can find
https://goldengirl.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1324
https://goldengirl.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1058

>>420173
Probably didn't.

In this situation I would say that skateboarding starts getting popular at Audrey's school with kids doing increasingly stupid things with them. Nothing like the 80s and 90s extreme sports (no grinding, flips, etc.), just crashing into things, breaking things, and doing dangerous things like hanging onto the backs of cars to go fast, to the point where the school bans them. There's discontent and resentment among the students, Audrey overhears Katya telling some students to come out to the park at night to meet the cool person who taught her how to skateboard.
Audrey goes as herself with some other classmates and the person who appears is Iron Girl, flying in on a board hanging 10 all cool like as part of the pitch to convert the local youths or at least cause chaos.
That sets up the confrontation.

>>420161
About mentioning a board or a box
How big of box do you think we could get away with?

>>420176
It just says wooden boxes or boards. It doesn't really elaborate.
If I had to guess, they likely used the wooden boxes produce would be stored in at stores or markets, or wooden boxes used for shipping.

Do an image search for "wooden shipping boxes in the 1950s" and probably that big.

>>420178
Neat.
Makes me wonder where the GG /aco/ crowd will have gone.

As much as I'm trying to get the regular /coc/ goers over here anyway. Got a notice up on the wiki and a post in the desuarchive of the last thread. Not sure what else can be done to get the word out.

>>420175
Yeah that's it, the second one. GG and the gang all chillin Billy checking out a chick might make RB jealous. I think the pick needs a color update.

Interesting. I found out today that e621 has a Hazel tag and part of the explanation for the tag is copied directly from the wiki page on her.
That explains partially why traffic to that page has always been somewhat higher.

>>420180
Billy hanging out with anyone would probably make Betty jealous.

>>420182
Now THAT is an interesting reason for traffic

>>420179
>the GG /aco/
What happened to that thread? There was some sfw art there I never saved for the most recent one.

>4chan.org says "See you soon!"
what they mean by this?

>>420189
It went down with the rest of the site.
You can still go find the pics in desuarchive.

>>420192
You don't keep copies of your own art and character descriptions?

What they can do is hop on their flying pets and go on an adventure while 4chan is dead.

>>420193
I don't like to clutter my home page with useless art that I don't have any use for and I rarely ever repost any of my art on /coc/ either, I rather just make new art instead. So I don't mind 4chan keeping it archived if ever really needed it, I just never ever expected 4chan to be taken down
Also I never wrote down character descriptions documents to begin with since the characters has changed over time and nothing is completely set in stone to even warrent making character descriptions. I already have all that stuff memorized
>What they can do is hop on their flying pets and go on an adventure while 4chan is dead.
I do still work on the characters and I would still do even if all of 4chan and /coc/ was gone forever. I do still feel weirdly inspired to keep working on my little project

>>420194
I meant it literally. They hop on their dragon and horse and fly off to go visit some foreign lands. Meet some genies, play some weird instruments, watch the king of Australia get into a fist fight with a kangaroo.
Touristy things.

>>420190
Probably good news.

>>420200
Depends if you're a vampire fetishist or not.
