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.

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.

The State of This Site Anonymous 08/28/2022 (Sun) 23:17:31 Id:3ec90a No. 450 [Reply]
I hate that I even have to be making a thread like this, but things have been building up, and it's time to have a discussion. I'm feeling very frustrated. I love this place and have been around since the beginning, and have put in a lot of hours and some of my own money trying to help it grow, but I'm quickly losing faith in the future of this site based on the way things are going. First of all, why are blatant troll, schizo and other similar posts designed solely to disrupt and make people mad being left alone? There's been several cases of this in threads now where someone's clearly just trying to stir shit up, leaving a perfectly good thread derailed in the wake. But nothing happens, it's just left there for months, potentially stifling further future growth of that thread. Second, and on a much more serious note, now this sites on the radar of actual, unironic CP bots, and that shit is getting left up for hours. As an artist, I've wanted to help bringing attention to this site through pony art that gets sourced back to here, but now I can't do that anymore. I don't want my name to be associated with somewhere that has a very real possibility of someone clicking a link, only to have some kid getting dicked be the first thing they see. What's the plan of action here? How can these problems be addressed? I really hate this timeline. These last couple of years have really felt like the old fandom surrounding pony is withering away rapidly. G5 is a flop, /mlp/ is as much of a dumpster fire as its ever been, and alternative places to discuss anything related are drying up. >Fansites are dead >Forums are dead >Imageboards are dying What's left, really? Reddit? Discord? It's a bleak outlook. All I want is a place to post and discuss cute poners in peace without all the cancer that has infested the present day internet.
Ignore bait. Disregard spam. Really, this shit has been going on since the Golden Age of 4chan. It ain't no thing.
>>450 I think things are exaggerated a fair bit here. While we do have bots from time to time, we take appropriate action against them and will continue to do so. Thread derailment is a pretty rare occurrence around here. It has happened, and we have cleaned it up before. Should Anons be unhappy about the resolution of things, I would hope they would come to /qa/ so we can discuss what would have been a better outcome. And if you see something against the rules, report it, and a staff member will review it. If you have examples feel free to link them here or directly report them.
>>452 I thought this was a troll thread at first.
Honestly /mlp/ has the same problem. The difference here is that there's less staff to delete threads 24/7. this month alone, actual genital gore was posted on there and it was up for at least 15 minutes.

Quick question about rule #2 Anonymous 03/19/2022 (Sat) 00:58:42 Id:46c69f No. 387 [Reply]
Is watersports considered too extreme? Personally I see watersports as OK but scat and diapers are gross; just wanted to be sure if that's agreed.
>>387 Should probably be fine, just keep in mind board rules (mainly nsfw vs sfw images depending on whether your posting on /fim/ or /clop/).

Emergency bunker for foreign language communities? Anonymous 02/25/2022 (Fri) 18:14:24 Id:89c364 No. 371 [Reply]
Just saw this thread on /mlp/, looks like a brony community from China is being taken out for one reason or another. https://boards.4channel.org/mlp/thread/38267127 Some anons there have suggested this place being a potential spot to move to, along with some of the potential challenges that may bring. Could be either as simple as allowing foreign language threads and/or a general on the /fim/ board, or as elaborate as creating a foreign language board. Any thoughts on this?

>>376 Still accessible through a mirror, not the original. But I'm not sure if the link will paste right with chinese symbols in it. https://nimingban.org/f/%E7%BE%8E%E6%BC%AB Try this then follow the arrows for drop down choices till you get to their /co/ https://nimingban.org/ As for the language, both sides of the fandom know how to use googletranslate and there's browser extensions to autotranslate which /mlp/ and chinanons have used to communicate before. Though they suggest DeepL instead for a better translation
>>377 Seems I am unable to connect from my home ISP. I did manage to somewhat gain access to the site though. >As for the language, both sides of the fandom know how to use googletranslate and there's browser extensions to autotranslate which /mlp/ and chinanons have used to communicate before. Though they suggest DeepL instead for a better translation I'm still not wholly convinced of the effectiveness of autotranslate. There are also some other considerations as well, but let me think on it for a bit and ask other staff what they think.
Alright, after some discussion I think that we'll give it a try. We'll allow one /int/ thread on >>>/fim/ for languages other than English. Some things to note: >The OP should be in English >Most non-English posting should be contained within >We recommend including screenshots of links to non-English destinations >This is very much an experimental sort of thing >All rules are still expected to be followed
