This is a thread for discussing, link sharing, gossiping about, and advertising forum websites ...
My favorite forums are old, but old can have downsides. A lot of times the community will have changed a lot from the past (Something Awful) or the users will be really bitter about the fate of their communities (&totse). From a new user's perspective, old can also mean more impenetrable.
Perhaps the best forums are just the ones that are so niche and the users are so fixated that its impossible for their core idenity to be lost.
I prefer forums that don't have huge documents of rules and mission statements, but that's a personal preference.
Here is Something Awful in 2004

it's a variant of the concept that doesn't have a specific outcome that most variants imagine.
You can read about them here if you scroll down https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism
This is not from a standard left or right set of desires for some outcomes, but more of nihilistic, "okay destroy everything then, idc"
These things are really good. They can make all vegetable dishes more appealing. You can use them instead of cheese for many things. It's healthy as fuck. I can't think of a single better thing that is as good for you.

I started drinking this blue raspberry sparkling water to quit soda. But then I learned that most fake sugar doesn't really stop you from getting fat anyway. Now I just drink it every now and then because the blue raspberry flavor is so good.
fun fact, there is no such thing as blue raspberry

That's the "codename" for this project. I've been working on it again lately. This is probably what most of my hobby coding attention is going to start being on.
If you don't know what this is you can read about it on the blog.

It's an open source ascii dungeon crawler in vanilla javascript with some visual enhancements. It was made by users on Agora Road. It's pretty compelling for what it is.

Questions:
How high was your egg count when you stopped playing?
What did you think of the egg collection?
How often did you feel like hits that should have landed did not?
What do you think would be important to improve about the sword swinging?
Do you have any other questions?
This is a terrible game prototype inspired by games like Vampire Survivor. It's not very good but I made it and you can try it out in your browser.

Just kill stuff, collect the silver drops, get upgrades when you level up. I made it pretty easy since there is no point in making a shitty, unfinished game difficult.
If you're having trouble, try putting one point onto bullet_damage and every other point into fire_cooldown until you are able to easily kill anything. Grab a max_hp upgrade if you're close to dying. Then increase your bullet_scale and oscillation and whatever else you want.
If you have any ideas what I could do to make this better, feel free to let me know and I might come back to it.
You can walk around a procedural generated maze smashing barrels, MAN!
Each refresh the maze will be different.

Ozzy Osbourne died yesterday I guess. Metal is mostly miss, occasional hit for me but I decided to listen to this because of the news. It's like some intermediary between what we think of as metal and hippie jam music. They would probably hate to be compared to that but you know... They were closer to it than meal fans want to admit, so that means the gnarliest, heaviest most extreme metal of today has some connection back to peace love and hippie music.

I’m on to something big. I was going through some public posts by Taylor Swift and Mr. Beast and I am 100% certain the two of them have a murder-suicide pact. If you alternately take the first letter from each of their tweets over the past 6 months, it spells something:
“Vapid parasites reap what we sow. Death soon. 16 of you worthless peasants will die with us. Your reckoning comes. Chains, poison, razors. Our lives are meaningless. We end the misery next April. Our blood will rain on Honolulu. 81-88”
Most of this is self-explanatory but a few things need explaining. Obviously they have become woke as to what they are. “Vapid parasites with “meaningless” lives. That much is self evident but why 16 people, why April and what is “81-88”? And why Honolulu in Hawaii?
Next April will be the 81st anniversary of Hitler’s death. That’s the 81. And 88 is a common code for Heil Hitler because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. So now we can be certain that they are white people.
And Honolulu, Hawaii? “HH” again!!! Also Honolulu has 8 letters. Another Hitler connection! It all started to come together.
It took awhile to figure out why 16 people would have to die with them. Then I remembered Columbine happened in April. 16 people died in Columbine (one was only recently related to wounds they sustained.) AND Columbine has 8 letters JUST LIKE HONOLULU (AKA HITLER).
So from what I can tell, in April 2026 Taylor Swift and Mr. Beast are going to Honolulu, Hawaii (HH) and they are going to take 16 people against their will (chains). They will poison the people and just to be certain they all die, they will slit their own throats with razors.
Also February is the Super Bowl.
Let's all take a moment to remember and appreciate Karmelkorn. What were your favorite flavors? Butter? Cheese? Carmel? Or the classic mix of all three?

Recently had the chance to dive into the world of teledildonics for the first time, and I’m genuinely excited about the possibilities this technology opens up.
For those who haven’t heard of it before, teledildonics is a fascinating field of technology that allows for remote interaction with sex toys via the internet. Essentially, it lets you connect with someone on a physical level, even if you're miles apart. Imagine sending or receiving sensations from your partner through a device—it's like bridging the gap between virtual and physical intimacy.
here goes all I, s_p, have said and "defended", want to make things clear. Anyone here from (my former presence on) "schizoforum" will know. and those who wont, well, will be a really interesting read.

within few offenses (cross-linking on forum, putting things in AI from forum (f.), pasting sections from f. on my few webs (about 00s-10s culture), being "annoying" (while i had "time lord victorious moment", thinking i do right/helpful/needful thing) [youtube posting, links, shitpost in chat...]. what "break camel's back" and marked me as persona nongrata was "fanfic"...
~~~
what i wrote next (below, in quotes) is plus-minus similar-samee-sh to your e-mail. i am sorry (and i do it again...) if i cry out but i just want to let others know my point,
tho i think they heard it (in chat, before ban, at interrogation/intervention) already and i just want to put things straight,
tho i for sure wouldn't think it will change anything, because i was a snobbish arrogant fool anyway, waaaay before. But what i didn't expect was to get banned over "hehe funny thread" or "this is how i think you see me, folks" 'confession'. Maybe I still don't get it, but it is weird to see (on) "we are not reddit"-forum (to/that) delves into its dead ("normie") ("everyone i dont like is Hitler/banned!"-)era, - everybody in chat and no one on boards/in threads... (and if, it looks like #58th thread ~on some type of "metal music" offshoot~ by ####, which is funny-sad-mad to me; and newbie threads, and threads that are digged deep so they come out only when other same is made after year or three (XD)...)
about chat (phrase I remember (and bugged me,) reading) before ban - it was Vit(?), saying ~ "vwmaster(1) at least contributed art to forum" (which makes me intrigued but what should I care, right...) - and someone replied to her (or me) that they (who, i forgot/havent noticed) "[i] thought [you/he] were chill(...)" >

ITT public freakouts involving police. Let's at least try not to overly glaze police or alog about how terrible people that we don't know are.
We'll start with the tale of the District Attorney's Daughter, a two part series. In the first episode, she is getting trespassed from a motel room. She refuses to identify herself to the police in a way that makes you instantly dislike her.

Stay tuned for the next episode.
this movie is insane. it's stop motion but not clay. it's in a real full size house and they paint the walls and floors every frame so the animation is on the walls in a 3d looking manner and sometimes it interacts with real objects in the room (hard to explain). just watch
I noticed random vlogging from people who don't seem to be chasing popularity and following trends is making a come back. Youtube randomly suggests these people with very small audience in an attempt to confuse viewers that it's a more authentic place than it is.
The people in these videos suffer from the terminal loneliness of people today who can't find anyone to talk to. It's sometimes sad, sometimes interesting. Sometimes I think they are probably acting.

Your failure to surrender is forcing me to take stronger measures. In five minutes, we will begin pumping neurocine gas into the Habitat Ring. Think of your families as you consider your course of action. All Cardassian personnel should evacuate the area immediately.
refer to the transitional or transformative spaces that exist between distinct phases, states, or conditions. The term "liminal" comes from the Latin word "limen," meaning "threshold." Liminal spaces can be both physical and metaphorical, and they are often associated with ambiguity, disorientation, and a sense of being in-between.
That's why paramedics are being called frequently around this location, due to the increase in drug overdoses.

Let's read the cyberpunk transhumanist comic book series written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Darick Robertson; it was published by DC Comics in 1997–2002.
> In college I stayed the night at these peoples' house after a party and waking up earlier than anyone else, I didn't have much to do except read the first issue of this comic. I remember liking it but I never saw it again and didn't think about it for a long time.
I'm going to be reading here. https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Transmetropolitan
Cross over with the cyberpunk thread maybe? https://goeshard.org/main/0x000003/
She's an Indonesian artist based in Singapore. Her work is erotic and sexually charged but not explicitly pornographic for the most part. I'm going to be dumping a lot of her stuff so I want to make sure you know she has a store and you can find her everywhere.

Is it because of my inadequacy as a programmer?
I’d like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux or as recently i have taken to calling - GNU+Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself but rather another free component of a full functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

How many people understand the original post hijacking I wonder...
https://board.goeshard.org/thread/euukantiporn-dsa/
It's actually really helpful to do that if you know how to do it.
EDIT: if you don't know
If a thread OP and its thumbnail don't explain and show what a thread is about, someone can hijack the thread by writing a post with a better title, a better thumbnail, and a bettery intro text. And if they do it right, I will give them the hijack and put their post at the top.
Look at the metadata to see the post order after hijack is not chronological.
I know you said before that I could, plus I'm going to have my own real web page for my articles soon.
I wanted to try out the simplicty of having just two boards, /main/ and /trash/. I thought it would make posting about any subject really simple. But it didn't really have that effect.
Maybe signaling to visitors what to post about is the way to go. So we have a bunch of boards again.
Hello. /main/ is where good posts go. If your post is shit, it goes in the /trash/ ... simple right?
Many posts on this board are made by anonymous users, nobody. So if you make a post without registering an account and logging in, that's who you will be. You won't be able to edit or delete anything you post. I mostly have this so that it's easy for a random passerby to try posting on the site.
If you want to have a name that is yours, you can register an account. I recommend not revealing too much personal information if you choose to do this, since this is the Internet.
The benefits of having your own account: you can delete and edit your posts, you don't have to do captchas, you have less cooldown time to wait between posts, and you can use the shorturl service at https://this.goeshard.org
So... What do you think?
https://board.goeshard.org/thread/meta/
You probably noticed already but the future of this site is being a blog on the front page. I built a system where a board post can be attached to a blog post to use the thread as a comment space for the blog.
One problem with that is that if every blog post had its own thread, the board would become filled with unnecessary threads. So this is going to be the default comment thread.
Welcome to the board.
