Have you seen these new Sven memes? These are some seriously spicy memes.

Anyway, I went ahead and deleted the three posts you requested, but I still think you're making a mountain out of a molehill with this stuff. For one thing, your anecdote was as dense and impossible to follow as most of your posts. For another, there wasn't really anything in there that struck me as all that revealing. All I took away from it was that you have an ex-girlfriend who liked to draw edgy fan-comics. Whatever though; they're gone now, so you can rest easy I guess.

Going forward, if you're concerned about your various arch-enemies uncovering your secret identity, and your friends and family getting caught in the cross-fire, probably the best course of action would be to:

A) stop posting sensitive information, and
B) stop making yourself such a target in the first place.

For one thing, I think you vastly overestimate how interested anyone would actually be in tracking you down irl and hassling you. I can assure you that this Discord-based conspiracy against you that you keep going on about is 100% in your head. There is absolutely zero evidence that anyone is coordinating off-site to screw with you. Nobody would even need to coordinate off-site if they wanted to. What is actually happening is that you keep making a gigantic ass of yourself all over the site, and people here keep egging you on and messing with you because it's funny. That is literally all that's going on. It only seems like a conspiracy to you because you are either unwilling or incapable of seeing the abnormality in your own behavior.

All of the drama surrounding you that has occurred on this site was caused directly by you. When you're not prominently word-vomiting your autism all over the place, nobody thinks about you or cares what you're doing. However, every few months you flare up like a case of herpes, make a dumb post like >>>/mlpol/358186 → or a dumb thread like >>>/mlpol/356155 → . People get annoyed and start arguing with you, or they just start bantzing on you for laughs, and it escalates from there. I will freely admit that I dunk on you all the time, with or without my various tripcodes and capcodes.

This place is like a small town. Everyone knows everyone, and usually there's not a whole lot going on. So when the village idiot wanders into the town square and starts ranting at the top of his lungs about something completely stupid, egging him on and screwing with him becomes a source of entertainment for everyone else. That was your glimmernigger conspiracy, that was your arch-nemesis HC Legend I'm still mildly curious if this guy is/was even a real person, and that's your Discord conspiracy. It's also any other conspiracies that you might dream up in the future.

Look man, I'm not a completely terrible person, and I can generally sympathize with a guy who's getting bullied. But the guy who not only asks for it but keeps lining up to get seconds is hard to feel sorry for. The dweeby-looking guy who's just trying to quietly live his life while people tape kick-me signs to his back? That guy I feel sorry for. That's not you, though. You're basically a guy who tapes a kick-me sign to his own back, and then marches up and down the cafeteria screaming "I AM A GIGANTIC FAGGOT, PLEASE KICK ME!" at the top of his lungs. Then, when people finally start kicking you, you begin shrieking and acting like a victim. That one guy who always calls you "Niggel" is almost as autistic and unintelligible as you yourself, but I can honestly see how he formed the impression that you are a kike, or a crypto-kike, or whatever he calls you. Because you exhibit some damn Jewy behavior sometimes.

Anyway, that's all I've got. I'm not sure if we're at the beginning or the end of the current cycle of Nigel-herpes, but either way, I figured I'd give you my two cents as usual. Do with it what you will.

MODS = GODS

Pupper, the following nigger is using a scrip that can bypass the anti-flooding code.

>>8266
He's jewish tho. Nothing goyim trash can fight against.

Typo policy staff rule 4 subsection last: change every to ever.

>that the bumping of threads, disrupts their threads being at the top of the overboard.
You have once again missed the point. It's not about who's thread is who's. It's about the disruption itself.
Posters complained because the general feeling of the site changed very quickly to something that they were not used to and were not fond of. When those posters eventually figured out that they could trace that change back to a certain user, they got angry.
People who build up an online community for years don't like it when newfags suddenly come in and start changing it. As they say:
>GTFO normies REEEEEEEEE
Especially not horse autists and /pol/acks who built said community because tourists from off-site turned 4chan into something other than what they were used to.
Especially with cases like >>8972 where they refuse to assimilate imageboard culture and keep spewing redditspeech, because they don't know what lurking is and can't comprehend the term "When in Rome".

>But you went far beyond the content by itself to the personal terrain.
It wouldn't be personal if you had just lurked and assimilates into the community like everyone else, instead of always doubling down.
>A couple
Yeah, I was one of those. I thought you'd change overtime, but you didn't.
I still think you could change, if you just tried.

The site is slowly losing anons over time and will die if this continues. We need more anons so how about ads on 4/pol/ and 4/mlp/?

>>8982
That question should probably be asked in its own thread.

>>8982
I feel you, link from a thread redirecting to here suggesting to put it here.
Your point does deserve its own thread too.
I'm hoping that the rule will give pause for people just leaving, and sometimes it can't be helped irl and other things require alot of attention.
Plus if the rule is implemented the preservation and spreading of culture is safeguarded for the new waves.

>>8982
>We need more anons
A detail that I consider of great importance to get some traffic for free. Many bros look for pony pics using search engines and is very important that the posted pics to be properly named in order to be indexed.

>>8517
>And yet they themselves post nothing.
I make at an average of one new thread par week. That's more than nothing.
And I know for a fact that multiple other users engage my threads, do they too are posting more than nothing.
>>8518
>Quality posts take time to compose, and quality discussion is usually slow because it requires people to take time and think through a problem.
This.
>Conversely, if users are just responding to each other with recycled memes or one-line no-u-style arguments, the board moves quickly but produces little worth reading. The speed might be attractive to a certain kind of poster, but that kind of person is mostly just looking to shitpost or get into pointless shouting matches; in other words, it's the kind of poster that this board was created to avoid.
>serious discussion gets buried in memes and shitposts
Not only that, it actually drives away quality posters who were brought here by the promise of quality content.
If posters only wanted high-speed, low-quality stuff, they'd just use 4chan. 4chan is still usable. We're not competing with 4chan in terms of speed, but quality.
>This is basically what happened to 4/pol/, and I suspect the problem would persist to some degree even if all of the bots and shills were banned.
Arguably worse, as since 4/pol/ still exists despite the sewage, /mlpol/ going down the same path threatens to make the content creators give up and leave for their own discord groups or whatever.
>turning the entire site into a garbage dump for low-effort faceberg memes and news aggregation is pretty much guaranteed to kill the site, or turn it into something that would be better off dead.
Basically my point.
>>8519
>I do. Moar posting is needed.
Then learn to make quality posts, ffs.
Make well-written, single-topic happening threads. Write green text about mares. Open discussions in meaningful ways that aren't just pissing contests.
>Dumping is mostly in /sp/ then WTF is the complaint about?
It's not only in /sp/. The memes dumping is actually not much of a priority issue in and of itself. Scroll up and read the posts carefully when they refer to posting style and discussion quality.

>>8520
>people who use the overboard
I won't lie, but I'm actually questioning if the overboard is actually healthy for us as a site. There's a reason why most altchans don't have one, and the ones that do tend to be the almost-dead ones. It blends different boards together and encourages people to just keep refreshing the over board instead of checking the catalog.
That's a topic for another thread though.

There is an extremely simple answer that only of you has paid more than a few joules worth of attention to:
post
more
horse
pussy
.

Solved in under a minute.

>>8529
We used to put horse porn in every post of every political thread thread. Lapse in that has enabled normies to infiltrate. It's time for a horsepussy revival.

new toss

>>8757
That actually does sound vaguely familiar. Unfortunately I can't think of a title.

I remember there being a general on /mlp/. I think it was called "Heart Of War".

>>8759
I believe that's what I was thinking of, actually.

>>8760
Apparently the site that had it no longer existed

>>8761
Look around. Someone might've archived it.
Check the old generals on the /mlp/ archives.

>>8762
Your suggestion actually help thanks also here’s the paste if anyone wants to know https://pastebin.com/u/ThingPaste

>>8728
>Unacceptable.
You don't have to accept it: you're free to leave.

>>8726
>May I start again my activities
You mean your endless stream of shitfiller that nopony asked for?

*looks left and right*
It looks like he's actually gone this time.
A toast!

>>8733
>It looks like he's actually gone this time.
Not so fast commie.
I would like to remind everypony that even if a hostile psycho jannie is cockblocking the basic shitposting, this is MY board and always will be.

>8754
>basic shitposting
Oh yeah, it's basic alright.

>>8754
Based and Boomer-pilled

I moved away from the keyboard and missed it.

Thank you John Elway!

>>6349
Looks like it.

>>6352
That was [s4s], right?

>>6353

so good to see them down. all the soytards trying to infiltrate bant now, but get swatted by the mods when they soiquote.

>>8711
Why are you replying to posts from 3 years ago? This news isn't relevant anymore.

>>8713

What I use to unfuck .googleshit format.
Theirs probably something that works similar for MicroShaft Windows.
I mean it is technically open source & gives smaller files. But it's still kinda' sus and annoying to deal wit.

imagemagick:
magick convert file.webp file.png
magick convert file.webp file.jpeg
Using simple scripting, you can batch convert entire directories.
However, I would suggest that conversion into the appropriate format (webp can contain PNG or JPG like a true nigger format) could be handled by the site. The thumbnail generation is server-side and could do double the work I think.

You can also just open it in Gimp and export it as whatever you like, that's what I do.
