i've seen slower

crapobucket is a mess though, even with all scripts disabled there are 6 different sites listed by noscript on one page. probably 20 more show up if i temporarily allow the whole page.

i also need to temporarily allow the whole page just to view a crappy image someone uploaded in 2008. utter garbage

well, with regards to the thread's title


insert any site that jumped on the 'modern hip web' bandwagon


and vBulletin is crap. there's no excuse for such a ridiculous pile of bloat. this very board does fine without all that.

I'm afraid Xenforo is even worse. vBulletin isn't even really modern anymore, and yet...

lol. dunno why people even like Xenforo

but at least it's not ugly phpBB. my favorite forum software would probably be acmlmboard 2.064 actually, it's simplistic and quite like ABXD

plus the PM function is nice.

But we're talking about bad websites, right? How about GBAtemp? ;)

not only is over half the community idiotic, it's annoying when you have to accept an email to even register, and it blocks you if you're below thirteen

it's annoying, tbh. it's like acmlmboard 1.92's register page but almost all of those are required fields. at least it's not pushy with 'secure' passwords like Microsoft is

As far as I know, XenForo was made by the same people who left vBulletin, so...

Tell me about it. I absolutely hate going on crapobucket for anything because I have had uploaded stuff to photbucket years ago. There seems to be a very subtle gag reflex that's bubbling in my stomach every time I think of going there.

I would believe you if you said its community sucks. It seems pretty hostile and... dumb to me? It reminds me of hives of scum like GameFAQs and NeoGAF, both which are filled with idiots. I haven't been to NeoGAF myself, but I don't think its community seems very pleasant and welcoming to me. Same thing with Facepunch (especially since users can give you negative ratings AND there is a pro-GamerGate thread in there...).

I didn't hear too much flattering things about SmashBoards. I hear the community is very hostile too, especially to newcomers. Not that I'm a Smash newcomer, but it's also another big community I feel uncomfortable joining.

On the good side, the only big community I find great so far is AVEN (asexual visibility something network). They're very tolerant and open to your thoughts.

Ah crapobucket. Each page takes like an eternity to load.

I've complained about Smogon here before and I'll guess I mention it here again: I like old Smogon a million times more than the current one. It suffers from too much bloat.

EDIT: Also, I've recently used my Windows phone to view YouTube videos and is it just me, or has the coding degenerated even more? Like, it plays ads (before it didn't), and then it refuses to play the subsequent video after the ad, forcing me to view the same ad multiple times.

Honestly, crap like this happens on NSMBHD. Idiots think that karma is their sole reputation. They beg for karma, as they think it looks cool.

What I also hate is how people with bad English on there generally have bad karma, whether they're competent or not. It really gets on my nerves.

Not that NSMBHD is a bad place, tho. The karma system is just garbage, since it's based on user votes.

It's why Marioboards even hid its damn postcount.

What use are postcounts ultimately?

high ranking on memberlist.

specific to this board, coins, that can buy you more items, which make your stats look nicer.


on places running something like phpBB is useless tho. but uh, I'm surprised people dislike postcount on a freaking Acmlmboard, which has a built in ACS (Acmlm Championship Series) that the winner is those that post the most in the month. it wasn't included in 2.0a1, though, and staple didn't add it to 2.064. :P

But none of those really matter.

I mean, your attitude, your post quality, your presence, your quirks, that's what makes people like and remember you. Not your post count or cute stats.

I'm not saying "OH THAT KID HAS TERRIBLE STATS/KARMA, HE'S AN IDIOT LOLOLOL" (i exaggerate a bit sometimes :P)
that was a terrible example

What I meant to say is that I'm not saying that stuff is all that matters.

I'm saying that those are just cool little things that are fun to mess around with. Sure, you have valid points, but I'm not really obsessed with postcount, I just enjoy posting. :P

we don't bother with that shit. Considering the proximity to RVLution, it would be a dangerous game.

then again, most who go on major Acmlmboard's are competent people, and know their limits :P

but there are a lot of RVLution users here, and uh, I'm sure it wouldn't exactly go as planned

I tried going on forbes, but they wanted me to turn off their adblocker so I can access their site.

Pathetic.

How do I shove up my middle finger up their asses?

truly pathetic. you'd never expect a 'big' website to lower themselves to such levels.

it's like a mall where they throw a tantrum if you don't watch their ad panels.


I had turned it off once but it kept blocking me for a while, hinting there's also some server-side shit going on. and the code is probably drowned under tons and tons of unreadable Hipsterscript. desperate coding.



any site that uses minified/obfuscated JS is automatically bad, because it's coded by dumb hipsters. There should be a rule about JS/CSS assets: if minifying them gives a significant size change, you're doing it wrong.

It's really just a thing to keep track of how many times you've posted. Since people are derps they think that this number judges how "popular" they are to they shitpost a bunch to get to a high number

And the number isn't completely hidden - You can see it on the users stats page.

As far as I can remember, they hid it on MarioBoards, because way to many people were Spamming stuff like "LOL, JUST FUCKING LOOK AT ME, I HAVE 1337 POSTS! DEEEERP!", and similar.

Posted on 07-12-16 09:33 PM Link | #73435
in my opinion, it's okay to go like "it's over 9000!!!!!!!" whenever you get 9001 posts or something like that, but you have to be cool about it. you can't just go "hey guys post 9001 right here" like an idiot, you have to actually make it a funny joke

but I can see where they're coming from. but it's just a fun little thing to keep track of, and numbers can be funny sometimes :P
being obnoxious about it is bullshit though, like bragging about a higher post count or whatever is despicable and shouldn't be tolerated

he he he he hus 420 posts its so funny congrtz ur the 2ndcoming of jesus god bless u for having 420 posts
______

In all honesty though, I feel like postcounts make it easier for new users to understand who to really trust, I guess. Someone who has been on a board for years would be more trustworthy than some guy who registered 2 days ago with 1 post.
