>>638 While I can't say I've really interacted with it, I've always got the impression that it was more of a social-media-style thing. Especially compared to other gaming threads. As such I think it would go against rule 10 and just not be a good fit for the site. However, given the current situation with /mlp/ I may consider a temporary thread. Let me think on it for a bit, talk with other staff and see what they think. And Anons are welcome to post their opinions in thread.

>>644 I played there for around a year 2 years ago, they had shark ponies, dog ponies, dragon ponies and anyone who complained about the non pony variants was considered a problem by the 'community' over time the board was used less and less and the userbase came from other places mostly not familiar or interested in the board at all, just there to soak in the digital popularity contest. Playing there is like being in highschool, everyone has their own little dramas and ways they attention whore, /opg/ is not related to board culture at all, its a malignant tumor on the board.

>>647 furthermore, /opg/ will just be a drain on this place as The only people who gain popularity are major creatives who dedicate their time and energy to that place ingame and people who are online all the time and don't miss out on stuff, casuals are mostly ignored because they dont have the time to be immersed in the community and buy things, suck up to jannies, and get into the good graces of those who have social credit. This game is a curse upon anyone who gets sucked into it, most of the second life population has been ingame nearly every day for over 10-15 years, human brains crave community and this gives them a false sense of one that is more satisfying than anything they have a chance to get otherwise. that is, as long as they don't piss off the wrong person.

>>647 my popen is a normal show-accurate mare so I think mine should be allowed

>>644 Second life is a sandbox type game, with some social elements. The main draw comes from dressing up your pony, creating more ingame content and new ways to interact with other players, unlike gmod you can upload directely to the game and script in game without server restarts which makes creating things on the fly a lot more fun. There are obviously social aspects but almost all the interactions anons have is trough the game itself as there is no opg discord. The anons complaining usually chose not to interact with anything and then got mad that nothing happened.

>>647 >>650 My experience has been pretty much the opposite, stuff like dog ponies is basically banned, some variants like dragon ponies exist but are very rare and usually if you do a weird creature thingy you will be considered a problem by the 'community' and people will be shittalking you in the thread. Even fucking griffons have had a bunch of arguments surrounding them. >as The only people who gain popularity are major creatives who dedicate their time and energy to that place and people who are online all the time and don't miss out on stuff And my experience has been that I've made some good friends there and I've never tried to gain popularity or tryharded on stuff, I miss a ton of events and I'm not online all that often. It is indeed a social game but the only people I've seen complain about "being too unpopular" are exactly the ones who treat it as a popularity contest and it's completely your problem for being retarded. >>644 Being more social is definitely true. I think it's not "social media style" in the same sense as e.g. a discord server simply because it is still a full-sized game so you log in, do stuff (which might be as uneventful as lounging around chatting with ponies, true), and log out. And the thread is the primary organisation and communication medium for when you're not literally at your desktop logged in. Maybe the simplest way to describe it would be as 3D pony town (but with a lot more stuff to do, because you can import your own assets into the game, and also it's open world and VAST rather than being one small server map). And with no mobile client so you can't even use it as a permanent chatroom. But basically if a pony town thread would be too "social media style" then that's a good metric to go by, if it wouldn't then /opg/ almost certainly shouldn't be either.

>>647 the actual 4chan hangouts ban that kind of shit a majority of the time. There are a few who have squeaked by but they usually have actual ponies they use normally and are endlessly shat on when they are using something else. >>650 >opg would be a drain >it is the fastest thread on /mlp/ ??? most everyone who's around the opg hangouts is from 4chan, the few who are not usually end up coming to the board to participate in the thread, and others. You can play the game as casually as you want, no one's gonna shit on you for not being at events. Being mostly a creator and having a job I attend almost none and still hangout when I get free time, and visit the thread and board regularly.

>>638 >>644 After talking with staff, we're deciding to allow 1 test thread. I think with the expectation that this is temporary while /mlp/ is down. Anything beyond that we'll have to wait and see.

>>644 Thank you for considering it anon >/opg/ breaking rule 10 SL has a lot to offer outside of sitting and talking about your day. We constantly have events, field trips, photoshoots, we even have a fully scripted hoofball game we play against each other and so much more I know mentioning this is basically shooting myself on the foot, but what you should really consider is the fact that some will namecall and shitpost about the community that you're gonna have to moderate I personally would love to be able to anonymously provide creations to this thread, but I understand it would create more janny presence because of people who want to drag us down

>>682 Much thanks, do come check it out from time to time, you will see anons posting screenshots of comfy horses and like 2 schizos throwing wild accusations.

god we're persuasive, first crystal then mlpol now here, how many more opg threads are we gonna try and fail to make
