Seconding this

I like imageboards but I don't like features of them being hacked off and considered accepted cultural defaults in a just so manner. I for one see no reason why they are not Guests of this Forum.

Anonymous is two decades old at this point. The mental tools we've as accrued over that time for posting anonymously (as opposed to pseudoanonymously) and reading anonymous posts are at their most refined when deployed in the service of the highly evolved "Anon" egregore. "Guest" is reinventing the wheel.

Well I and I hope others here are one of those people whose mental capacity and ability to respond is not limited to what slide is being shown by the projector.

You could even leave "Guest" in as the role: https://files.catbox.moe/ybwrzu.png

When you argue online you posit yourself as and against a persona. But you already know that don't you, "NuclearAbsolutionist". Well, I think it's better to post as Anon than as Guest.

But guest is specific to this forums culture. Anon is for 4chan, guest is for Amarna

I support keeping it Guest if only to maintain a divide between members and non-members. Creating an account is effortless, therefore those who choose not to are intentionally othering themselves. Moreover, I oppose switch to "anon" at-face for attempting to emulate the coalsite 4chan.

Without names there is no circlejerking.

So honestly, either way works fine, though "guest" sounds too... odd.

You are our Welcome Guests.

An emulation is not being proposed, only a rectification of names. The same entity posts on every site where sign-up is not enforced no matter which name the admins choose to give it. Indeed, this entity may be a "Guest" on this site, but in my ever so humble opinion reminding it of this fact is not worth the sacrifice of accrued cultural refinement.

Ah, a fellow Nemetsian. Come with me, we must re-enact Come and See on this village.

This guy https://amarna-forum.net/u-%EA%A6%88%EA%...3%EA%A6%B2 is ruining my enjoyment of the forum and the ignore function doesn't do much to filter his visual nonsense other than hiding the body post. He still appears in thread listings. I'd like a stronger ignore feature similar to how it works in XenForo.

Give everyone a flag that is based on the location of their IP.
Make them take a picture of their hand to prove their whiteness if they want to use it as an argument and have a unique title.
Give posts a rating system that does nothing, but at lease you know how many people hate or like your post.
Why is there no music player for the forum?

I think flags exist and are optional. You can just ask people to post whiteness evidence if they try to invoke it case by case.

No like system here. Amarna1 didn't have one. I think it was good for prompting more serious responses. Is it working here? Can't really say but it's how we do things now.

Music player would be a fun idea.
#77
It would be nice to move the Post Reply button over to the right, give it some visual style that makes it distinct, or add an "Are you sure you want to post?" alert dialog (this one is probably a bad idea though). It's too easy to accidentally send a post when you're trying to preview, and I think people are doing this since I sometimes see a deleted post right before the real one.

There should be some kind of posting minimum-word-count put in place to mitigate all the garbage trashing up good threads. Also, a comment option should be put in place as there is sometimes a need to make short posts. But the comments should be displayed under the post they are responding to. The comments should be a pull down thing where you can’t see them normally unless you interact with the post as to allow the user to continue reading a thread without being burdened by comments under a post.

Btw, great job with the new banner scrolling function. Site has improved  greatly because of it. The new banners are also good, racy asuka is very sexy.

Unifag was banned. All these others who are shitting up the site are way worse than him and should be banned. Also the forum should be closed to guests for a while. Start banning people jannies.

Agreed on closing the forum to guests for the time being. I leave the question of banning up to the personal discretion of the owners. Maybe we should do a repeat of the Unibro situation and conduct a poll?
