/diy/ - Do It Yourself

View post   
No.21316 [Reply] [Original]

As you may have seen in /diy/res/17428 , whe've been arguing over what to call ourselves. But here is the final decision, is it /diy/hards, mac/diy/ver, /diy/kes or /diy/kheads

The one that gets the most votes before 200 posts is the winner. You may NOT vote on any others, as the four I've mentioned where statistically the most popular.

There are usually at least 2 terms, one respectful, one mocking.

That's silly. The whole idea is silly.

If you just decide on what to call ourself instead of letting it naturally occur over time, you remove the base of meme building (or rather don't give it a chance to develop).

Just use whatever you think is the best and sooner or later we'll see what the result will be. That way it will be more in line with the actual culture of the board instead of our name dictating the culture.


instead of
name>memes>culture
it should go
culture>memes>name

Just as an example, instead of someone using the picture of a dinosaur on a guide because that's what we call ourselves, we should call ourself /diy/nosaurs, because in some awesome thread someone made a papier mâché T-rex.

If you specify the name beforehand, you don't give eventual memes or board culture specific things the opportunity to become a name giving "mascot".

I know you feel the urge to introduce things other boards have since years to a new board, but don't rush it. Let things come naturally and they will be much more stable and founded, and ultimately better and funnier.

are you serious? your only accomplishment as a tripfag so far has been taking a massive runny shit all over a thread that's tangentially related to the board at best, yet you are so righteously indignant about being called out on it that you're willing to waste the mods' time on something as stupid as that?

why don't you try actually making relevant and helpful posts in actual threads, instead of mental masturbation in metathreads such as this one? and then maybe you can talk about being off-topic.
