/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>6465662
I could do LJ. We could also look into an actual forum board, similar to CosFu. I'm not sure on how a board like Cosfu is, like is it free or would we eventually have to pay for server usage?

Either way, a person could still remain fairly anonymous. Nobody says you need to use your personal JL handle or your common username.

I like the idea forumanon.

>>6465686
Thanks! Here is what we currently have so far:
http://dramu-dramu.livejournal.com/

I wouldn't want to move to a paid server unless we eventually got enough people on LJ or some other forum. From what I've seen all the free servers do require some sort of login, but at the same time these are easy to make with lame-duck e-mails and fake info.

>>6465662
What are the gyaru girls using for their forum? At the moment I don't mind LJ, the nested replies make it easier to keep track of who's talking to who, but not being able to make a new post is kinda annoying.

>>6465692
Yah, the only think I'm worried about is being able to make posting anon (which LJ doesn't allow). The gyaru girls, I believe, are on LJ and Rioche'.net, both require logins to make posts, and I think Rioche is a paid server, which I would totally be willing to move to once we get established.

>>6465700
I know having to log in would turn some people off, but just based on how civilised PT discussions are (i.e. your OP pic), it shouldn't be TOO bad. I know I wouldn't mind much.

>>6465706
That's good, because I think the anon thread posting is a big factor to the how well this board does. I was also wondering, to those who would be turned off on the idea of no Anon posting (only anon commenting) I could always be messaged or notified of a thread an anon wants to make and then make it myself, or is that too cumbersome?

I think anonigals is using invisionfree or some kind of free forum. I honestly think that's be much better

>>6465716
That would involve a lot of work on your part, and I really don't think that would be fair on you. If you prefer it that way, go ahead, but I know if it were me, I would get sick of it quickly

goodbye cgl

>>6465728
that's a good thing to think about. I tend not to think about how much work it is sometimes (hence why I took on a 21 unit semester this time around) and over-do it. So thanks for that reminder.
>>6465725
I'm gong to check that out!

Stop brown nosing OP.

Thank goodness i miss the ever living hell out of these threads. People are so anal about it it seems. I miss when they were rampant and when people complained about it, the thread would just be like "lols yer new" or "idowhatiwant"

>>6465690
I used to run a forum for one of my clubs back in high school (I know, lame) but if I remember correctly the free forum hosting site I used allowed anons/guests to post. You could always turn this feature on/off in the admin panel.

Is there another place on 4chan we could go? LJ is terrible for a zillion reasons, but I agree we need a new home b/c we are not wanted here. (Though /fit threads, suicide & bf threads, and other threads that are actually unrelated seem to do just fine.)

>>6465799
You can always try /b/

>>6465799
they should make a drama board. it would be glorious

>>6465775
Same. Isn't drama half the reason people come to cgl?
God, at least they didn't kick off J fashion. I would have been so pissed without my Mori.

>>6465775
>>6465809
It's like people don't realise there's a 'hide thread' option. Like I said in the thread with Moot, we keep our PT drama to one thread, which is easy enough to ignore if you don't like it.

>>6465775
Hell yeah
>>6465799
Agreed...Tits and Ass threads seem to be accepted here too. LJ sucks.

I miss Lily Threads

>>6465773
stop brown nosing, Op or stop brown nosing OP? Because I'm just trying to put everyone's opinions to consideration.

I agree LJ is fucking terrible, and I'd like to keep it to 4-chan, maybe message MOOT and ask for our own board here?

>>6465828
I'm 99% sure he'll say no.

>>6465828
>maybe message MOOT and ask for our own board here?

this. i know it sounds terrible but all the drama was so entertaining. /cgl/ is becoming dull for a lot of people now.

>>6465837

Agree. There are only so many makeup threads I can sit through without the shining light of PT coming up now and then.

I think that there should be a "drama general" thread that all posts concerning particular cosplayers/j-fashionistas/lolitas should go to. dramu has been engrained in /cgl/ culture for a very long time and while it can be rampant, I don't understand why it should go away entirely. It really could easily be kept to all one thread. If we can have a persistent Homestuck general thread, I don't understand why we can't have a dramu general as well. It can also easily be hidden as opposed to having people waft through multiple threads of individual people. Everyone can have what they want this way.

This sounds terrible, but... I don't post on CGL often at all. I just come for the lols and the drama. It makes my day

Have you idiots even skimmed that goddamn stickied thread? Moot made it VERY clear that he DOES NOT WANT PT THREADS. DOES NOT. HE DOES NOT, HE WILL BAN YOU. EVEN IF YOU ARE JOKING HE WILL BAN YOU FOR BRINGING HER UP TO HIM-HE DOES NOT LIKE IT. Like what the fuck, are you bitches that mentally retarded that you can't sit for 5 minutes and figure it out yourselves? PT is no longer accepted here. Wahhwahh you don't like it-too bad.

Move your PT bashing to another site. I say this as a person who likes those threads. I'll miss them, but I'm also not deluded enough to think that messaging moot will change anything. Again, find another place. Did you know 4chan has more than one board? Did you know there are other sites just like 4chan? Did you know efagz/efanz exist? Consider your other options. Because /cgl/ is no longer one of them.

>>6465828
He will very likely not make any new boards, but it doesn't go anywhere else. There is always /b/ though.

>>6465908
did you even read anything, ya dumbo?

>>6465908
What the fuck do you think people are trying to do in this thread? They're discussing other forums/options to move the drama to. Get off your fucking high horse. If you read the entirety of THIS thread, you'd know that it's not all about trying to message moot to allow PT threads.

>>6465867
This.

Technically this wouldnt violate the singling out rule

>>6465908
Have you even skimmed the thread, you fucking mongoloid before you decided to shit out your mouth?

I haven't used my LJ in years. But if I have to use LJ to dramu I guess i could get used to it.

Yeah! I don't even like cosplay or lolita!! I really like mori so at least I got something outta this place, but its time we take our leave. We really do fuck this board up. While its fun for us and even to a lot of people who like cosplay and lolita, its still shitting up the community as a whole.

Come, friends. Let us depart.

>>6465908
Hey, I think you may be the newfag who shitted it up the last time I tried to do this a few nights ago. Please stahp.
>>THIS THREAD IS FOR MOVING THE DRAMA TO A NEW FORUM, IT SAYS IT IN THE TITLE.
Please stop trying to shitup us moving to another board. We are trying to MOVE the drama you fucking idiot. Now leave if you're not going to contribute.

also, HOW FUCKING NEW ARE YOU EFAGZ HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR AGES, THAT'S NOT EVEN AN OPTION.

Sorry for the rage, but I really think you might be the asshole from last time who fucked up the thread when I was trying to get this shit organized.

Just dropping this again:

http://dramu-dramu.livejournal.com/

So you guys know where to go if you want to start new threads. Yes, you'll have to make a sock, but ya know, for now it'll have to do until I can get something better up. Updates will be posted there on our new location (once it gets figured out) and until we get enough people over there, I'll post some updates here to get all the dramu into one place.

>>6465803

Seconding this.

>>6465908
oh dear. someone doesn't know how to read

>>6465982
I, personally, don't think /b/ is the best place, simply because it's a very fast moving board and I'm not sure how many seagulls are going to want to wade through the gore, shit and cp to actually get to the PT or dramu threads.

>>6465908
>tumblr
>tldr
>doesn't like PT threads enough to fight for them
>thinks moot's word is law and interprets it like the fucking constitution
>forgot about scolia
PT THREADS FOR EVERYONE

>>6465995
Please don't mention PT too much in this thread, it needs to STAY ON TOPIC. I really don't want janitor to delete it, because I really want to figure out a good new place for drama

>>6465993
absolutely. /b/ is an awful idea. i'm pretty sure it was brought up in jest

Seconding a tumblr. Doesn't cgl have a tumblr anyway? Why not just update on that? Most seaguls have tumblrs anyway and we can go on anon and ask question or imput things. It's not very efficient but we can try?

>>6466018
Sure! I'll get on making a tumblr today under the same name dramu-dramu.tumblr and we'll try it and report back here. See how it goes?

>>6465993
I'd be more worried /b/tards would take the drama to a level we care not to go. Mainly them actually harassing our lolcows. It's one thing to softly troll and screencap shit, but I'd fear they'd call family, jobs, friends, and everything that seems to (at least to me) be incredibly unpopular to do amongst the dramagulls.

>>6466069
Post her in /fit/ then

>>6466018
Would love this. Plus you casn set it up so we could submit things and you could even do it anonymously, I think. At least we could submit things and ask to remain anonymous so you'd or other mods would need to submit them.

I do request that tags are used and try not to use tags that could rile up groups that would report it. I'm thinking anything that could get the attention of the FA movement and what not.

>>6466085
Haha. Well she is trying to get 'toned' and she is pretty much a constant FPS fatty.

>>6466018
I don't really like the idea of a tumblr. Commenting and getting a proper discussion going would be quite difficult.

What about using any number of the freely hosted forum boards that you can create? Then there can still be some "thread" organization etc.

>>6465970
What do you mean efagz isn't an option, they still update pretty regularly. Is it just because they're not inviting anyone latey? Have any of you even TRIED to ask if they could open their snotty gates to /cgl/? You act like no one here is an efagz member.

Why don't you guys create another Image board for the drama? That way you can still keep the comfort zone of 4chan, but just move it to another site.

I'm not going to bother going through the entire thread so sorry if this has been said. But if you're moving to LJ be careful of being reported.

>>6465662
What if someone makes a blogspot like that "moarfailplzkthx" blog where someone posts and then everyone bitches in the comments. Or what if you guys just moved to that Pretty Little Liars site...they're a little sensitive though. Like, I feel like calling her a fat fucking waste of human life would earn a few tumblr justice crusade posts against you.

>>6466345
If anyone wants a PT sub-forum over there, I would be more than happy to make out.

>>6466364
>to make out.
to make one out. *


lol, what a wonderful typo.

>>6466364
>>6466367
If you ever change your mind about that being a typo just let me know

>>6466292
It clearly states in their community profile that all messages asking to join will be ignored. So you tell me how that'll work out.

>>6466292
Yes I have tried, they are not approving new members let alone bothering to respond. Also, how am I acting like no one is an eras member? Just because they are still updating doesn't mean they're taking new people. If they were we wouldn't have to do this since Ashley, Pt and Kooter are all accepted topics there. Seriously, we do have some logic here.

>>6466364
It's not just PT though, we want a place where we can post all the drama shit we want. It seems like some of the free forums may be our best bet but I can't set that up until I get home. Others are, of course, free to try out and link their forum ideas.

Thank god, the bitches are leaving! Maybe we might finally have some threads which on topic for this board.

Good riddance.

>>6466377
What if someone brought it up in the comments?

They owe it to us anyway, they get most of their info on her from us. Which further proves that there are other cgl efagz members. I'll admit that I'm one, but I'm more of a lurker there.

>Pic related, efagz calling her their queen

Why don't you just go to reddit?

>>6466379
go away you pedophile lesbian

>>6466413
You think we haven't been telling these retards to gb2gaia/reddit/whatever else for years? They're newfags who crawled out of livejournal and tumblr.

>>6466442
So edgy~

I want a new place to go as much as anybody, but I'd mention that I'm concerned that having a permanent place for our PT/other drama would be even more damaging to the objects of our affection. Having an ED is bad, but here every rumor and thought will be out there, an easy Google away for all eternity.

>>6466487
It was already an easy google away
>>6466413
huh...why didn't I think of this before

http://maximum.faggotry.org/pt/

>>6466516

Yes, PT's future is lost... BUT WHAT OF THE OTHERS? We are setting a precedent here.

yep

>>6466523
>http://maximum.faggotry.org/pt/

Oh fuck yes! Thank you based PT gods. Thank you!

>>6466539
Could this be our new home, it seems to be 4chan for PT and drama cows ;-;

>>6466588
I'm skeptical, shitposting's already begun, and we're only 20 posts in.

Can we PLEEAAASSSEEE include Ashley in this?
I've been do deprived of delicious Assley drama.

>>6466627
so*
herp derp

>>6466627
Calm your tits. She hasn't done anything at all in almost a year.

>>6466630
She made that hilarious dragon sculpture thing that looked suspiciously like something one would buy off Bad Dragon. Unfortunately I never saved the picture and by then she had deleted it (maybe someone thought the same thing I did and called her out?).
She has potential and either way people still enjoy talking about her and following what she does.

>>6466627
Of course, this forum thing's going to be for all of the lolcows we're not allowed to talk about here anymore, mainly PT, but Assley's a big one too.

>>6466637
It sounds like you don't have much of a life yourself, if things like her daily makeup failures are seriously that interesting to you.

I enjoy drama too but that's just boring.

>>6466523
Perfect.

This is perfect. Dramu should just be moved here-someone add it to the cgl sticky. This could be the answer to all of our bitchy prayers.

OP I am a weirdo and have never used livejournal. How does this work? I would very much so like to be a part of this.

>>6466623

Give it a few days and they'll go away.

Nobody uses LJ except lolitas, Russians and spambots.

>>6466653
LJ is pretty easy to use, just go register for your sock account and you can make posts to the forum, leave anon on and hit reply to just comment :)

Can't we just do this on another chan?
You have no idea how many chan sites are out there...

you could just link /cgl/ to it whenever one happens.

Desperation...

>>6466523
>>6466699

YES. At first I was like "fuck this thread, this will never work," because LJ and tumblr (lolwut?) but a chan-style site is fabulous.

SOMEONE GO TO /q/ TO ASK A MOD TO STICKY IT.

>>6466699
The only think I don't like about it is that it lacks the convenience of features like quick reply and shit that I'm used to using on 4chan.

>>6466741
i feel the same way
I hope this does pickup, i do miss my daily dramu dosage

>>6466699
Yeeees, commencing picture dump there!

Also I see that the board's subtitle is "lolcows general" - can we talk about Assley and others there as well?

I honestly am more excited that the green text is pink than the idea that we now have a place to talk about PT

>>6466797
Oh same. I noticed it while dumping her Marshmallow Bunny pictures and sat there amazed for a while. It's a pretty nice pink too.

The weird thing is that the board page itself seems to have not refreshed even though we've posted a bit more than just 4 replies in that very first thread. The posts are there when you click on the thread itself but it seems unchanged on the main board page.

>>6466797
Green text is pink?!
>mfw I have no face for this awesome

>>6466812
I noticed that too. I found that if you go to the address bar, click it and press enter, it refreshes, but not through F5 or the refresh button.

ASHLEY THREAD! GET IN HERE!

>>6466699
Oh shit my vote is for this instead of the livejournal.

So everyone agrees on MF?

Hey mods at /pt/ I am getting
>Database error: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'hidden'@'XXX.xxx.x.xx' (using password: YES)

>>6466892
Are you OP?
I like the MF one because it's a bit more easier to manage threads and not much changes between 4chan and there.
>plus pinktext holy shit yes

>>6466907
Nah, just getting a general consensus before I head over to /q/. (Or not if I'm lazy-- it's kinda late.)

>>6466906
it means your post needs text

Forum anon here. I agree using the MF one makes much more sense as to what everyone seems to want and need!

it seems it might not be able to handle our traffic though?

>>6466922
Yeah, that's a problem. Don't know if MF mod will find a better host. Hopefully!
It's pretty much agreed that a chan would be better than tumblr or LJ, so even if that goes under, we can focus our efforts into that.

>>6466922
It should right, why not? I guess if it doesn't we all meet back here and post why it's not working and find somewhere else?

maybe we should donate money to MF

>>6466922
It can handle it.

>>6466947
Or just keep it all on /cgl/ where it belongs.

>>6466958
THANK YOU.

As >>6465867 said, make a drama general thread. Worst thing is that there are 2, one for lolita and one for cosplay. There's no singling out, it's free-for-all, and you can keep it to its respective board. Its not /cgl/ without the drama.

Homosuck threads have been in their own thread, and we currently have an ita thread running, and weeaboo horror stories.

>>6466917
But my post did have text...

>>6466907
I can't read the pink text can it be a darker shade of pink?

>>6466958
Hobbes?

>>6466969
The problem is that people have tried that and the threads keep getting deleted anyway because of moot's new no drama rule.

>>6467049
Id give it a week before the dust settles n shit goes back to normal

>>6467070
This. Stuff's still fresh since moot's discussion and it brings to mind how many fucking times people say that they shouldn't have drama and /cgl/ manages to still have some after all these years.

So far that MT personally feels empty to me with simply cgl wank but no other threads.

The fact that you guys are so reliant on this shit for entertainment or fulfillment makes me want to get off this ride. Seriously.

>>6467092
The people who live off of it probably shouldn't, but people can still enjoy some daily dose of drama. Hell that's what shit channels like E and celebrity shows and reality shows do for the general public. They make money out of wank.

>>6467092
I personally dont live off her shit. I cant speak for the rest of /cgl/...but srs..I just liketo keep semi up to date with her silly antics. its like shes fucking 9 years old llololol WHAT WILL SHE DO NEXT!?

>>6465867
It's actually pretty fucking simple.

Keep the drama in the thread it's relevant to.

Like Ashley goes in the makeup thread. PT goes in a Lolita Fails thread. Dakota goes in a j-fashion thread.

Where does scammer discussion go now...?
