Will you make a random board for here? For board games and stuff like that?

I've been considering it, there seems to be an interest in that sort of thing, how about a poll on who wants it?

I'd rather wait until we have a little bit more traffic before we split it up, but it sounds like an okay idea, so long as we make sure to expand a bit.
I can hardly remember the last time I actually enjoyed myself on /b/: nowadays it's just a trap/furry/loli porn dump for nufags.
Could we maybe add a rule/suggestion that porn dumps should go to /r/?

I think we should have a /b/ type board for shitposting and whatnot, but instead of calling it /b/ we should call it our Designated Shitting Street, maybe the board could be /ds/ or /dss/.

We don't have enough people to make use of another board. Our /r/ and /qa/ is being frequented rather sparingly.

Besides, if we unlist /qa/ where we will post our questions and suggestions? /mlpol/ sort by date doesn't work so I have problems keeping up with new happenings on it.
If people start posting /qa/ content on /b/ tier board, then this content will be so much more overlooked by our members as they will be distracted by shitposting.

Hell, if you guys are so eager to shitpost then why not raid other websites? Do we really have to shit up our own website for gigles? Go to /pol/ there is already sizeable shitposting community or other shit tier websites.

Just look at 4/b/ and 4/qa/, aside having something like this on our website, wouldn't it just attract to our website the kind of people who only come here for the sake of shitposting? People who don't care about politics or ponies?

Also, didn't we agree before that we would build our own culture? I hoped we wouldn't suck 4chin's dick... Shitting up your own website/board was never a good idea...

I like this idea.
Calling it /b/ might just bring in cancer. I want something more akin to /s4s/.

actually you guys may very well have an idea, what we want isn't a copy of 4chan we want our own thing, but we definitely need some kind of control, so lets ask about something else then, maybe what should the new board be and how should it work?

maybe /low/ for low quality posting?

/low/ would be good. Polacks would have a place to post their x hate threads without nigging the main board up and ponyfags would have a more appropriate place for meme threads.

Well, assuming that this new board won't hurt us...

I really think it would still be used for /b/ and /s4s/ tier threads and discussion.
I can see people there would LARP as external enemies of /mlpol/ like /jp/sies, shills, redditors, altdrones, and other people.

I still think it would do us better service to actualy raid other websites. You know, actually going into action instead of field practice.

I believe our posters now want /random/ board because most of them got banned on 4chin and would like to shitpost some more.
It looks to me like our community houses vast majority of raiders and shitposters, which IMO is not bad or necessarily all good.

Problem with bans can be solved by VPNs and TOR(if we are not targetting 4chin as they got TOR posting disabled).

Friend from discord showed me this VPN and list of some free proxies.
Download here: http://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx

Short guide here(I used it without VPN relaying): http://www.vpngate.net/en/howto_softether.aspx

Free Proxy list(never got around to figure out how to use it): http://proxylist.hidemyass.com/

Note that softether VPN IPs aren't unlimited so use its better to use it in raids rather than solo shitposting. FURTHERMORE don't share this VPN software with just anyone. I reckon if /jp/ knew about us using this, they would hijack those IPs and get banned on our target websites, denying us this ban evade option.

If anyone could figure out how to use other proxies other than soft-ether, that could allow us access to more VPN IPs.

If mods really think our community wants /random/ board then I would suggest that they sticky link to that strawpoll on /mlpol/, since it gets visited more often.

Or maybe not, maybe people who don't visit /qa/ don't need to vote on these things?

If there's going to be a /b/, make it clear that is not for shitposting; Maybe call it /r/ - Random?

While I definetly think it's a good idea, I don't think we should call it /b/. We are not 4chan and we should not go chasing the past of 4chan. We should instead make this our own site with its own culture.

Why can't we have a board for *random* topics where there is an expected quality threshold?

So...
/v/ & /tg/ on mlpol for pone/other games?
>...I'm fine with this, I suppose
that everyone on there can either chat about
pone games, the game industry or
you know just complain about how normfag
the next Call of duders is gonna be.

If there's gonna be a /b/ board here
there betere not be any rate my dick threads
on there because holy horse apples am I

(Unless its ironic art of ponies making
rate my dick posts than that mite be funny.)

Have you seen the /mlpol/ stream on cytube benisarea? It quickly became very difficult to tell when people were being "ironic".
Those who make a mokery out of being faggots are doomed to find themselves surrounded by actual faggots who believe they're in good company.
Special board?

If there's ever going to be a board dedicated to funposting, it should have some unique function/quality that
>1. Contributes to the rest of the community
and
>2. Makes people actually want to use it regularly.
I've been thinking of something like an oekaki function for a while now. It always bothered me how there could never be ponies on /i/.

There should be the US Voting System in this. Like 1 mod = 1 power and stuff. The thing in /b/ is just... pr0n and offensive thread... So I don't like the idea..

I think a /b/ is needed now more than ever /mlpol/ is growing but a lot of the content is low quality garbage that belongs on a /b/ board.

/b/mused? Shops, art and greentext based board would allow for a flow of random stories, art, etc while users can pick and chose what they want to use on the main board.

I think pony and political art should be posted on /mlpol/. Only big chans like 8chan and 4chan can maintain art boards, as far as I know.

Greentext doesn't belong on /mlpol/ though, it could lead to writefag worship or worse... generals

Not for things unpony-pol. Though each still allowed mlpol itself can't doesn't really allow for sucj random style posting. It can still be monitored and rule 10 on the ready will still weave out most cancer

Also I think if we had snacks-tier moderation of the /b/ board it would prevent the cancer from ever becoming a problem.
