can we get a bigger file size limit? maybe 15MB?
1 post and 1 image omitted.
>>476 The webm thread would be the only ones using a bigger file size limit, and using smutty.horse for most of the files would undoubtedly kill the threads
>>477 Most video files are poorly optimized and could be compressed a lot without a perceptible difference in quality. It's too bad there is no easy to use open source software for making them smaller.
>>478 I typically use the following ffmpeg options to make webms: ffmpeg -i "in.mp4" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -vbr on -crf 25 -b:v 0 "out.webm" Can add -an if you need to strip the audio and increase the crf if you need a smaller file at the expense of quality.
Can the file limit for /fim/ be reconsidered? 6mb is much nicer. I wouldnt mind losing the ability to post 2 files in a single post if i could post a single 6mb vid. I encoded my stuff considering the /wsg/ limits pls understand
>>677 Apologies, but I do not intend to change filesize limits at this time. >>>/clop/ does have a slightly higher limit than >>>/fim/ though.

Advertising a server. Anonymous 08/06/2023 (Sun) 02:51:35 Id:2ac105 No. 574 [Reply] [Last]
I want to advertise /mlp/'s gmod server here to see if there's anyone interested on it. I'm not sure if this is permitted in the rules so I apologize if I'm breaking any.

>>633 There is a non-zero amount of lust but because, again, most anons are playing as ponies, a lot - I would say the majority even - of the hornyposting is actually about mare avatars. And the "gay" part is just hornyposting about stallion avatars. There is very little IRL hornyposting. Note that some people for example have multiple OCs and any comments will typically target a specific OC, which should be proof it's almost never about the (human) player. This is as compared to the TF2 thread where there are no avatars or ponies, anons just get to know each other on steam and then hornypost about the actual literal human. And to be fair these are the "worst" cases, most of the discussion in both threads is usually just about stuff that goes on in the game, organising shit, events, gameplay commentary, etc. rather than any namefag discussion.

>>631 Failing this, what about: >>>/fim/19240
>>631 >/opg/ I guess you got your answer.
>>631 >>/opg/ >Similar to /tf2g/ but with maybe less overt gaylust everyone there is so gay they troon out regularly, they play as ponies and fuck eachother until they decide they are the ponies.
On the topic of games, would it be alright to have just a general gaming thread like the pony gaming threads on /mlp/?

Hello, just wanted to ask if you would please consider adding a g5 board. Thanks!
31 posts and 1 image omitted.
>>466 I absolutely agree.
>>287 Based.
W hat about G5 in a G4 style?
>>643 Anything of G5 is not welcome on /fim/.
This purity spiraling would be based if you banned G1-3.5 too, but we all know you're hypocrites with no principles.

The top of the quick reply box went above the damn screen and I can't get rid of it. This happened because initially the bottom post button went out the bottom of the screen, and when the panel snapped up to show the reply button, the top bar went out of the window.
>>624 You could try doing a shift+refresh which will reload the page in a fresh session.

Regarding Generation 1-3 & Misc. Anonymous 07/13/2024 (Sat) 07:29:32 No. 612 [Reply]
Howdy, as the subject says, I'm just wondering if there'll be any other misc boards for other mare-related content and/or generation 1-2? Unless it is fine to post that type of content in >>>/fim/ Kindest regards, and a happy weekend to you.
>>612 I'm not planning on adding other boards currently. Regarding previous gens, it's not banned, it's just not strictly on topic.

Uncontrollable autism Anonymous 02/15/2022 (Tue) 20:08:20 Id:9549c6 No. 352 [Reply] [Last]
Wondering how this board would handle this kind of behavior of just unloading a stream of consciousness that nobody gives a shit about. For an example of what I'm talking about maybe some of you are familiar with a certain autistic retard known as Nigel on /mlpol/. Some unholy mixture of brit and low-functioning autism that thinks everyone must know what he's thinking at all time, never improves his behavior and gaslights with dismissive shit like how people ripping into him are just "haters" It's been said that his behavior has been well documented and even if he didn't use a flag ANY post by him is almost immediately recognized as Nigel because he is that much of an insufferable faggot. To be blunt, the vast majority of his posts are form of littering much a nigger dumping trash out the window on the street, but the mod team of /mlpol/ has decided to do nothing about him aside from small warnings and minor deletion of posts, despite this kind of pollution going on for years and many many complaints, no long term bans happen and no one gets time to breathe because he might use the entire site as a poo shits on the street, instead of where it belongs in the toilet. Now why am I bringing this up? /mlpol/ has a writingimprovement thread much like /mlp/ had a drawingimprovement thread but it's very obvious that everyone is incredibly put off by this autism and the quality of the thread, hell any thread he joins tanks since he made a stake in it. Just going by numbers here he makes up ONE THIRD of the posts in a 600post thread currently up with his dynamic IP and another third of the thread is probably just talking about how much of a faggot he is. Now to the point. While reading this dipshit's posts for years spew offtopic garbage like a sewage pipe on steroids nhnb didn't exist, but now that it does it made me think maybe people might have a better time away from it posting a writefag improvement thread on nhnb. However before I suggest people make the move I want to know what nhnb's stance would be. Would you let him shit up threads when he can't be contained only curtailed? https://mlpol.net/mlpol/299458 To get a glimpse, this is the writefag improvement thread and below are the IDs he used in the thread. Here's just a couple of his most recent posts but they generally all read like this, pushing what is 'on topic' to the point of breaking in half. --------- 35 f4e1903 1 15aea3f 1 fa03a49 6 184c306

>>370 >Right now the thread on /mlppol/ is dead due to everyone vacating the autism fuming up the place, no surprise. This is actually kind of a mischaracterization. Nigel still posts a lot of his autistic garbage in that thread and he's still annoying, but the thread itself is active. It's probably one of the more active threads on /mlpol/ at this point.
>>474 It's too soon to tell. But it seems like he has finally fucked off. Very proud of my role btw.
>>474 How about a little update then? Shit's fucking deserted. There's a grand total of two posters in the writefag thread. A sizable portion of that thread is just OP and Nigel going back and forth with unreadable walls of text. Hope it dies off soon.

Spam-B-Gone Anonymous 12/23/2021 (Thu) 05:27:40 Id:fed218 No. 313 [Reply] [Last]
Just a quick thought regarding the regular spam/ad bots... Since they all seem to be Chinese, wouldn't it just be practical to rangeban that region for now? I kind of doubt that we have any genuine regular Chinese visitors that would be affected at the moment, considering how obscure this place still is. Of course, that's just me assuming these are actually coming from China. For all I know it could be US based spam, or India, or somewhere in Europe or any other place.

>>432 >>433 Why would you want a delay if it's something to be removed? Anyway, you could probably look into https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChanAddon-AutoBan as a starting point. Be aware that this addon was designed for Lynxchan 2.0 so it may need some updating to work with newer versions.
>>480 Who the fuck are you and what the fuck you have to do with this board?

NSFW stories Anonymous 10/21/2022 (Fri) 05:54:45 Id:3402c5 No. 469 [Reply]
I understand that I cannot post NSFW images in /fim/ (it must be in /clop/ instead). However, can I post NSFW greens or stories in /fim/?
>>469 Greens and stories are fine, we've already had some in the past.

Clarification on GR.14 Anonymous 04/07/2022 (Thu) 01:33:52 Id:6f893f No. 394 [Reply]
I was considering making a thread for a simplified pen and paper sort of game meant to be some interactive fun for anons. Make a character, join in, play a loose zap style game set in the world of FIM. Every day would count as one turn and each anon would write in their move which would get processed at a consistent time. I would add pictures to convey aspects of the world. Before creating the thread I checked the rules in case something like this was mentioned and I saw GR.14 "No roleplaying". It seemed clean cut to me at first but I think that this thread could be fun for a small board like this that does not get many posts; it would offer some consistent interactivity without getting too noisy. I figure there is a chance that the rule was not written to stop game threads of the type I described but with the intent to prevent some other sort or roleplay (like for example always roleplaying as a character when you make your posts). Even if it's a small chance it can't hurt to ask.
>>394 I always thought No RP rule is meant to stop bullshit like I'm a bad filly, bla bla bla, ask me questions Anons! not CYOA-like things or prompts.
>>394 Sounds to me like basically a CYOA, should be fine. >>395 >I always thought No RP rule is meant to stop bullshit like >I'm a bad filly, bla bla bla, ask me questions Anons! >not CYOA-like things or prompts. Pretty much.
>>394 I like the idea. Like D&D, but with ponies. I guess it's just CYOA like other Anons have said.

So, it turns out the latest wonderful decision by the /mlp/ moderation was to filter the word "barbienigger" in an attempt to discourage FiM fans from speaking out against EqG spammers. It's obvious that the jannies over there are furiously biased in favor of the barbiespammers, so the question is: How can this site become more active? Everything is here for a pony-only haven, but it feels like lots of ponyfags are still wary about switching sites, or don't even know this place exists.

>>448 Decent? Fuck no. That is, not unless you speak Russian, but you could probably bypass the range bans with some of the free VPNs that they post on anarchist websites in Onionland.
