Let's hope it doesn't eat into the timer too much.

Seems to be related to this.
Might be down for over 12 hours.

>>254639
Oh, well people can still browse the threads and vote, so no matter.

ETA for when the site will be usable?

The last post with Tawna being pounded though.

>>254637
That'a a scary one. At least it's not an elite 8 round.

>best girl loses
>entire site goes down for up to half a day
Curious.

>>254653
I wonder how many people realise that warosu is still up

>>254646
best girl lost in the 1st round tho

>Playgirl killed Kim Jong Un
Why do tournaments keep doing this

>>254642
Voting seems to be not possible either, the links don't work.

I double checked and it's working for me, are you sure you're not clicking the op link? Dill posted the poll in the thread.

If it makes you feel any better, all the fatties were defeated in the side tournaments most by big margins. Only a couple like Deku’s mom or Cheesecake even put up a fight

>all the toddler picks lost
lmao based

>>254660
Seems to be a phone only issue.

>>254662
Nah.

>>254661
>>254662
All they need to do is NOT be uppity and obnoxious but they literally cannot help themselves.

>>254672
I get fatfags but Bluey nigs weren't that loud. I still don't get why Gabe was dead set on mixing humans furries for a 256 SIDE tourney.

>4chan is temporarily read-only while we await an urgent PHP security update.
Just my luck. I got it quicker this time but still not good enough. Still here's the sidetourneys:

>>254679
I think it's telling you didn't wait to start pushing your side shit.

>>254683
Who's this semen demon? Awooga!!!!

Will this setback drag out the current round another day?

What’s the over-under on the site being back up come time for round 4? If it’s not are we just gonna continue it here?

>>254639
Which of the contestants was responsible for this?

>>254686
>>254687
If the delay goes for more than a few days is it even worth continuing of should we just call it a wash and try again next October

>>254687
Patches are scheduled to be out so I think it should be opened again within 6 hours if it went right
If it’s not the tournament needs to be suspended until it comes back since it is a board specific tournament and having it here is against the point.
Also don’t know if he wants to redo round 3 since it’s only allowed posts for a few hours the Round 3 poll was up.

good news everyone, it's back up, Deviantart is back and running

>>254691
Patches have already been available for 3+ hours now.

>>254693
Let’s move the Playgirl tournament to Deviantart

>>254690
Just give Roxy the crown ffs

>same joke over and over and over

>>254693
>>254695
Rule34 is back online too.

It's still frozen. Is it up for you guys?

>>254680
How? Otherwise, he'd be lagging even further behind the main tourney.

>>254699
yeah

Posting should have been possible hours ago but the people running 4chan are lazy niggers

Yeah at this rate we may as well postpone a day, huh?

>>254683
holy shit, that's MY request
thanks man

Can Dill confirm if it's up for him?

Gabe if we end up being delayed three weeks, just start the side tournaments over and split them from the start instead of doing this fucky fusion thing.

Have Bottom and Next for the human tournaments and Bottom and Next for the furry tournaments so we don't have all this weirdness. Got to keep em separated.

>>254707
What, the form? Everything seems to be working fine, people have been voting like usual, nothing's wrong in that regard.

>>254709
I mean the thread. Is it still having the PHP issue for you? I can't look at it or post

>>254708
This could take three weeks to fix?

>>254711
The site is currently read-only. You should be able to look at it just fine, but can't post at all yet.

>>254708
Holy shit yes the way he did it was so retarded. Nobody wanted them merged like that

I don't think there's an issue so far, I mean Dill posted the poll and the thread is there. The real issue comes if the round ends and this problem has not been solved.

>>254708
I don’t think we are even going to have enough for a Playboy Next and Bottom given they will only have one nomination thread for both, let alone a 256 shitfest
I don’t think Human Playboy will even get 128 nominated characters

>>254712
Worst case scenario yes, best case scenario it's in 3 hours.
>>254708
Hell he should do that even if we're only delayed another day. Nobody, not one person, wanted the furries and humans to share the side tournament

The absolute state of 4chan

>>254708
fuck it do it anyway people told you it was idiotic to combine them

>>254716
Nofurry Playboy will probably be 90% monster/alien/miscellaneous non-human men

Gabe never listens to anyone. He's worse than Neo

I'm getting funpost withdrawals.

>>254721
I don’t think even then they’ll get 128 successful nominations if it’s crowded in with the furries in one 24 hour nomination period

>>254725
Have the furry tourney right after the nonfurry one then?

>>254726
Can’t it was voted to happen at once in the same threads

>/tnt/ is told something is a retarded idea
>/tnt/ proceeds to do so anyways
Time is a flat repeating circle.

>>254726
I wasn't even talking about the main tournaments initially just the female side tournaments and how combining the furries and non-furries into one was retarded

>>254727
Well that is a retarded idea

>>254708
If he didn't split it when we told him they should be split during R1 why would he do it now during R3?

>>254727
I must have been asleep for this vote or something, I had no clue. That is asinine. We already have people in the furry Playgirl thread whining about “furfags”, do the hosts still think this’ll work?

>>254733
The vote indicates that the Playboy participants don't hate furshit as much as Playgirl does, in that case why make a split at all?

>>254734
Because- as the last Playboy showed- furry nominees will completely dominate the bracket. At least with a split there’s a chance for more variety.

>>254733
>>254734
Male tournaments in general (/co/lympus, King, Playboy) have way way WAY less hangups about furry/anthro characters than female ones do. Your guess as to the psychology at work here is as good as mine.

>>254735
It might not have been explained well but what they voted for is admittedly confusing
There is going to be two tournaments, a furry and a non-furry one. However they voted for both tournaments to occur at the same time in the same threads, so there will be a singular thread for both tournament’s nomination rounds and actual rounds
Why they voted for that I have no idea

>>254737
Still less retarded than how Gabe is running sides

I don't get running a non-furry and furry combined 256 during the FURRY tournament. Isn't furry obviously gonna dominate that one.

>>254739
Gabe couldn't run it during the human one, so instead of making two separate polls(smart) he made a single monster.

>>254690
The only possible way this current Playgirl is getting cancelled (or redone or w/e) is if 4chan is down for like a week or more. I know their staff aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed but I don’t think they’re *that* inept.

>>254737
King and Mr. are mostly voting for the characters they like + a lot of good fictional characters are anthro and vice versa, whereas Queen and Ms. are waifufag tourneys
And Playboy started on /trash/ so it makes sense there'd be less hangups with furshit

>>254741
If we're down for more than a few days I ask Gabe to just reset his side tournaments and split the human and furry ones instead of combining them

>>254739
If anything I liked he did this because it proved why 256 character tournaments are a bad idea and are the best example against it yet
>Difficult for host to set up and handle
>Difficult for voters to get through
>Mostly filled with matchups that are ignored because there is too much bloat to focus
>Loses a lot of interest and makes qualifying for them feel less special

>>254744
I feel like if we had /tv/ or /a/ tournaments it MIGHT work because I feel they have a larger total pool of characters they care about, but no way it works on /co/

>>254744
Well now that we learned the lesson I wish he'd go back and split them(and if the site is down for multiple days he should absolutely start over)

>>254741
There's only one 4chan dev. I'm sure he has to work his actual job before implementing the fix.

Maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves. As far as I can remember 4chan hasn’t been disabled for an indeterminate period of time in the middle of a tourney before, so there’s no set way to handle any of this. Suggestions of nixing or resetting it seem premature.

>>254748
Most of the reset suggestions are actually for Gabe's side tournament rather than the main one

>>254748
>Less than 12 hours down
Continue like nothing happened
>12 hours to 24 hours
Extend the current round
>24-168 hours
Reset the current round
>More than a week
Consider restarting from scratch
>More than a month
Consider calling it off to avoid overlap

>>254749
It's because he completely fucked up how he ran it, everyone told him it was stupid, and now the shutdown is giving him a potential opportunity to start over and fix his fucked up dumb way of running it and just do two seperate 128 tournaments one for humans one for furries instead of a hybrid abomination

This would have been based if it happened during a round of King and they had to vote a round based off the actual character and not just whose round campaign is most hype

>>254679
How effective is participation in this space? It's not to criticize the site; it's good that it exists given the current state of the main board. However, since participation in these contests doesn't exceed 50 votes on the main site, it's worring that it might not be visible enough here for the usual visitors of /trash/ and vote.

Anywho, in the possible way, support the /a/ and /h/ contestans (Ami Mizuno, Shampoo, Miko Midou, Akira_Honjouji...)

>>254750
>Less than 12 hours down
>Continue like nothing happened
We’re already well past this. We’re getting close to 24 now.

>>254754
>>254750
So if it starts working tonight we extend R3 a bit, but if it's not working still we reset R3 and start it over fresh. And if we spend a week in the dead zone we consider restarting from scratch(probably just from R1 rather than nominations)

>>254756
Eh, sure.
>>254750
If the site is down a fucking month it's over forever. The last big one was only 3 weeks and killed half the traffic forever

>>254708
this

>>254747
>There's only one 4chan dev. I'm sure he has to work his actual job before implementing the fix.

4chan dev is a paid position, so his actual fucking job is implementing the fix.

>>254757
>The last big one was only 3 weeks and killed half the traffic forever
No, the traffic rebounced almost immediately. What killed half the traffic was the "wait 1 minute to post" "wait 5 minutes to make a thread" "wait 2 hours to verify your email", and the dumbass captchas.

>>254759
I doubt it's a livable wage

>>254759
Someone needs to wake his dumb ass up.

>>254762
>I doubt it's a livable wage
The bibliotheca anonoma is down so I can't check but IIRC Rapeape gets paid something like $4k a month to manage 4chan. I doubt that that the lead dev and the sysadmin (both who do actual mission critical work) would get paid less.

I mean... can't the tournament be held here?

>>254765
It could but participation rate would plummet but like 70%

>>254765
This is not called Playgirl of /tnt/

>>254767
Technically hasn't stopped other tournaments

>Playgirl last year had to have that round re-done and the Google forms redone
>Playgirl this year had the entire site frozen
What voodoo priest did Dill cross in traffic?

>>254767
I mean Rouge's year kept bouncing between here, /trash/, and /aco/

Gabe should restart if the tournament ends up having to, and if he does he should split it LIKE MAKES SENSE

Somehow this is Dill's fault. I propose death by pickling.

>>254773
But isn't he already pickled? You'd just be pickling a pickle. That'll make him immortal.

>>254765
That makes sense, but it seems there's a reason it's not being done... besides, it's still unknown when the board will be back online and the contest will take place without "logistical" complications.

>>254772
And if it takes a LONG while- as in, weeks?

I really fucking wish the moderation communicated more, holy fuck.

>>254776
A few days, we can wait. If it takes so long that resuming it would impede on Queen /v/, then we'll unfortunately continue it here. Preferably, it won't come to this.

>>254705
Glad you like it, I don't know anything about the character so I hope I drew them well enough.

It looks like we're still stuck here for the time being, I'm not sure if it's worth continuing to draw OC on this site or if I should just wait for the tournament to pick up again on 4chan.

Scratch that, the site just came back up, phew.

>>254733
>>254734
When was this decided? I wanted to partipate in Playboy this year precisely because of the promise there would a split as I'm not a furfag.

>>254782
Playgirl/Playboy is already a pretty small tournament, with Playgirl just being popular enough to support both a non furry and furry split. I don't know if you'd be able to do the same for Playboy and keep up the participation between both versions.

Barely read the current discussion so I don't have a horse in this race (haven't even used this site in a minute) but shouldn't you just delay this tournament until the website comes back online

>30 vote dropoff
>people still think we shouldn't have a recount

>>254777
Yeah, that's the single one biggest problem of the site nowadays. Moot was technically incompetent in a lot of ways, but he kept the site going and put his foot down when things had to change. Up until the site became too big for him, anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if the current 4chan staff is simply not allowed to communicate, though. They are not owners of the site, they are just contractual workers and may have had an NDA preventing them from saying anything. I know that Janitors have to sign one of those that legally prevents them from discussing the sites workings.

>>254785
I'm just happy Sally made it to Round 3 again. That proves she has a bit of staying power.
Besides 30 votes would not make a single difference.

>>254785
That's not even 20% dropoff, we've had bigger voter lssues in tournaments without technical problems.

Who do you think would win a Ms and Mr Fats tournament
>One time Playgirl and Playboy spin-off for fatties to get it out of the system

>>254789
Depends on where it’s hosted and who runs it

>>254789
Fang and Frankie finalists

>>254789
Plus Sized Elf girl if it's mostly /tnt/ voting.
Cheesecake if it's mostly /co/ voting
Some goth webcomic chick if it's mostly /trash voting

which one of you faggots is schizoposting in the latest playgirl thread

>>254796
Any idea which characterfag that could be?

>>254796
Also bitching about Scout being a terrible winner.

>>254796
Definitely not me.

>>254796
>>254798
Not me, I'm behaving myself.

Luna's definitely cheating to get this far, right?

>>254821
What was your first clue?

>>254822
No porn

What's with the one schizo seething about Ankha nonstop?

>>254825
Tryin to deflect attention away from Luna being a gigantic fucking cheat

Luna has less porn than M&Ms

>>254832
People didn't take the off trip banter well

>>254832
Got a better explanation for why all of the OC picks died and Luna is slated to win?

>>254843
Believe me, I'm not trying to imply everything's all fine and dandy.

>>254821
>>254843
Haven't voted in a single round until now, but that character has the most interesting design in the top 8 by far. I think Sybil is the one likely to win, though (would be really lame considering she's known for leading some /v/tard into trooning out)

>>254845
>a blue goat is the most interesting design
>some retard trooning makes Sybil a lame winner

>>254847
It's a tourney about sexiness, isn't it? Factors like how distinct the character design is definitely matter. In any case I think both finalists are about on par barring whatever meta people are complaining about.

>>254854
You don't have to be the most interesting to be sexy. And not having any porn in a porn tourney goes beyond simple meta I think.

Wow I peek into the threads while voting... what the hell happened after I left? I mean do not care who the winner is at this point but why did Schizo-posting increase?

>>254854
The "sexy" blue goat doesn't have porn, if you have no porn for the porn tournament you are a fraud.

>>254857
>but why did Schizo-posting increase?
Well you see back in 2020 this thing called COVID happened…

Asking here as well
Exactly when is Playboy starting?

This has been a cursed year for tournaments.

>>254861
Playboys should be happening the 20th of November.

What timing for the thread to die, lmao

Hurry UP I have to poop

Please don't spoil the winner in the catalog, that would be lame

based sybil

sybil is so fucking ugly

I don't know if I should nominate my monster and alien boys for nonfurry or furry

>>254902
Doesn’t matter because host is going to determine which tournament they participate in during nominations.

https://variety.com/2026/film/people-news/eric-bauza-dead-looney-tunes-voice-actor-bugs-bunny-daffy-1236930931/
Playgirl had a death

>>254916
Threads mentioned it. Although I'm not sure why people keep trying to associate celebrity deaths with the tournaments.

>>254923
I think the trend started because of major deaths occurring during tournaments made people start looking into them and bring them up during threads
Particularly Queen Elizabeth during Ms 2022 probably set it off, but it got a renewed wave after Charlie Kirk’s assassination during Ms 2025

>Any kind of incest porn is illegal to possess in the UK november 6th
Well there goes a Beerus and Champa duo round in playboy, if you're a britbong
>Any kind of facesitting, choking, or smothering variation of porn will also be illegal to possess in the UK november 6th
Well hope you weren't gonna run your playboy man having a big fat ass that could choke you out

>>254967
>any kind of smothering
Fat fetishists are...an oppressed minority...

>Amelia gets kidnapped by the fatfags of /co/ until she convinces the UK government to drop the ban

But most fatfags come from /v/?

>>254999
Shhhhhh

Playboys are November 20th btw

Rouge took over the board.
