JOIN THE GIRL IN MILITARY UNIFORM CHALLENGE NOW YOU HAVE 4 HOURS GO GO GO!!!!!!

>>4084712
would if I knew how to draw clothes.

>>4084717
challenge yourself, maggot!
we don't take no for an answer!!

>>4084720
I'm too /beg/ right now

>>4084720
You're right. I'll join anyway.

>>4084675
>>4084386
>>4084462
>>4084731
Just join, at least to compare your progress later on. Nobody's telling to be good, it's only to try your very best.

>>4084717
Use this as an excuse to try drawing fabric then. You can at least try copying some military uniforms, then try to apply that to a mannequin by the end of the challenge.

>>4084717
>>4084731

>>4084712
I'M GONNA DO IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>4084703
Good doggy!

>>4084752
Good daddy!

>>4084712
Is this strictly combat uniform or can it be dress uniform?

>>4084774
it's all cool

Where are you German daddies?

I ruined my streak because I didn't double check if the drawing was really posted, don't make the same mistake daddies
But I'm not complaining, I've been doing it all wrong from the start, and it's giving me the occasion to fix this and do it right
Starting tomorrow, I'll do challenges ! I'll draw full pieces instead of pseudo practice and I'll make it !
If something I'm just sad it took me a comment and the end of my streak to take notice but better now than later I guess
Thanks Silvemis, we're all gonna make it

>>4084809
I BELIEVE IN YOU AWFUL! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

>>4084809

What happened? Did your upload not go through? Is your internet bad?

>>4084816
internet very bad and it's not the first time it almost happen except this time it did happen, but no biggie, I really just needed to vent
>>4084815
We're all gonna make it !

>>4084712
I don't wanna draw my country's military uniform tho, I see enough fanart like that on the internet already.
Also I don't care about the troops and wouldn't join them for my waifu either

>>4084821
post your country and I'll find something cute

>>4084821
just draw another country's uniform, or ignore the country rule it's fake and gay

>>4084809
no problem man! i'm glad i could offer a little push so you could get on the right path. we're rooting for you, and all of the other dads out there, so may your gains be speedy and bountiful!

I submitted with 2 minutes to go and it wouldn't go through no matter what.
Just in time for Classic WoW I guess

>>4085023
>WoW Classic
That's a black hole if I ever saw one.

>>4085023
rip clover

>>4085023
Wouldn't accept my submission with a description (possibly due to an unstated character limit?), so perhaps this is something Bandana needs to look into?

>>4085037
>>4085037

If you have the image and post it right now I can reinstate you if it was a legitimate technical issue.

What was the description you posted, verbatim?

>>4085037
if that's the case we could have some redemptions?

>>4084703
help with British uniforms and weapons plz? I know nothing about history

who do you think will be the next perfect to fall?

Rollover script is working like a charm. More more accurately, it broke in the middle of running it, but because of the restructuring I've done with it, I can simply re-run it and everything works out properly after fixing the broken bit. Site operations should go a lot more smoothly and efficiently, and you can FORZA now. I don't think we're quite out of the woods entirely, still going to keep my eye on it, but I can breathe a little easier.

We're now ready to move on to the fun parts, now that I can start adding some more fun things to the rollover (which may include report-tallying for the purposes of glorious, righteous judgment or the accumulation of pocket money). Stay tuned for more.

>>4085051
code-let here, pls translate

>>4085038
I submitted without the description and it went through, so I'm not the person who lost their streak. I just assumed it was a character limit (I wrote a wall of text breaking down how I fucked up), but if that shouldn't be happening you can see the text in my comment on the post. It's the submission for Batcook from today, just omit the first bit in parenthesis and you've got the description text I tried to post.

>>4085042
theres a TON you could use for brits
I'd go with 1700s navy uniforms personally (think pirates of the caribbean) but theres a lot you could go with

>>4085052

In plain terms:
> Everything data-wise on the site (users, submissions, challenges) are represented by lines of data like an excel table.
> Because certain pieces of data depend on one another (users participating in challenges, users making submissions), this can cause a bit of complexity.
> I made an early mistake of tying submission functionality to the recording of active participations in DAD/seasonal challenges.
> I reworked the rollover script to handle that instead as well as date labels on things it already handled so that rerunning the rollover won't corrupt anything that was already processed.

>>4085053

Normally, you should get an error about that saying you're over the character limit, but instead it just errors out.
I'll look into fixing that.

>>4085052
I think banana restructured the site so that if the rollover program failed it wouldn't fug up the site, and he can fix the broken part of the rollover program, re-run the rollover program and it'll all be cool.

We can now post immediately after the deadline has passed (so, 00:00:00.001) and it'll go through and count for the next day.
Submitting like this (really early in the day cycle) is called being in Team Forza (it's an old LAS term, something to do with super fast cars), so when you submit in the first few minutes you're a part of Team Forza.
(Likewise, people that submit in the last 30 minutes of the day cycle are called the 23:30 club, 30 minutes because the minimum time required is 30 minutes).

>>4085055
nice, this could be fun

>>4085058

Bingo!

Bananas make your butt big

>>4085055
How did the brits get this kind of look and color? Weren't they knights?

>>4085076
Look at the dates, suits of armour and all that was earlier, up to like 1500s
Also these are soldiers not knights. A knight in full armour would usually be from a wealthy family, all that metal isnt cheap.

I couldn't submit until I removed the title. That's odd.

>>4085088

Working on a fix.

>>4085057
>>4085051
Thank you banan

>>4085076
>>4085078
wait till you see this shit

>>4085088
>>4085053

Hotfixed. Errors based on invalid inputs (descriptions too long, missing image) will now should up instead of showing the generic error.

Why don't you guys ever post any drawings?

>>4085141
that's what dad.gallery is for

>>4085143

So whats the point of this thread?

>>4085145
for tierlists

>>4085145
it's honestly a mystery at this point

>>4085145
Funposting and discussion

>>4085145
just kinda chatting about daddies and their art, like posting art to the site and then discussing it here

>>4085145

>>4085141
I like dad because I'm trash and I wouldn't like spreading my trash everywhere for people to see.

>>4085170
Dad is comfy because so long as you just keep on posting every day there's very little judgement. I don't feel the same pressure to put out polished or marketable works like I do on social media, I can spend some time studying and still feel good for making progress that day.

>>4085170
>>4085172
>tfw Dad is the only real place you talk with others just one level above anonymous as your name is there, but no one knows it's you
It's a good feel.

>>4085172
It's pretty much the only place where I feel comfortable posting to. I'm really glad this site exists.
Thank you, banana and everyone who made this possible

>>4085161

love u daddies keep up the streaks!!!

Small late sunday night menu:
> Fixed a bug where a user's current streak would not be properly set when penalized or eliminated
> User search now accounts for display names, with results sorted by current streak, then by id. This means both display names and original usernames are valid to search on. More options and features will be added later.
> Reversed challenge sorting, so that more completed challenges with more recent start dates appear at the top, with order challenges at the bottom.

With this completed, I will be moving on to much, much larger things. Keep your eyes peeled.

DAD is nice, these threads are pretty nice, this is almost a golden age of LAS, but surely nothing nice like this can last for long, I expect something real dumb coming up, maybe something silly like cumposter will cum on kringle's drawing and banana will get mad at the thread and nuke something I dunno, there's no way we can have nice things for long, it goes against the natural order of things, it's too good to be true.

I'm glad this challenge got so much enthusiasm from you guys, kek. I've been out of it lately due to life, but I'll do the challenge with the time I got.

>>4085402
It really feels like things are only uphill from here. Seeing /ic/ actually defend itself from other boards is already impressive. There's not even many memes that can affect and destroy this board. The latest one in memory I can even remember is soul.

>>4085411
What do you mean by "defend itself"? I only browse this thread on /ic/, so I'm unaware of the drama.

>>4085411
>Seeing /ic/ actually defend itself from other boards
?

>>4085414
>>4085417

I don't know if this is what he means, but 4chan in general has gone more stupid over the years. And I don't mean in the sense of shitposting. People are actually dumber. It was already bad when 4chan got more popular, but now it seems boards like /pol/ germinate legit dumbasses. I remember when, for example /x/ had cool threads about exploring abandoned factories or what-not, but now it's mostly alex-jones tier crazies. And because these autists keep angering the far left autists, we are constantly getting shit from every direction.

>>4085540
>I remember when, for example /x/ had cool threads about exploring abandoned factories or what-not, but now it's mostly alex-jones tier crazies
/x/ has really gone downhill and off a cliff.

>>4085540
/x/ was my first board to ever got me hang around this site. I miss going back to 4chanarchive and reading all the archived creepypastas that are actually good

>>4085544
I'm glad someone else agrees with me. I always see this crab this like another newfag shitposter fad, like spark, the ligameme or synergy, except this one didn't fade away.
I wish it would just die.

>>4085544
>>4085711
I find crab-chan simply delightful!

>>4085544
I think the board has become too fast and there are too many people that are very eager to post but haven't read the sticky

The sticky will direct you to all good resources like Proko, all anatomy books, plenty of exercises like life drawing, still life drawing, perspective drawing, many resources on value and colour
If we were to study all of these things before making a thread, aka read the sticky, the quality of threads would be much higher

but because people aren't doing that, there are countless trash threads in which the only appropriate response is to tell them to read the sticky, we have grown tired of it, so now we don't care, we tell them all kinds of bullshit aka crabbing

>>4084712
Darn. Forgot to sign up. Maybe I will find the motivation to finish this one anyway.

So Saturday crits will crit the entries the day before, right? So I know to only spend more time on Friday's submission.

>>4084703
>got choosen as OP image
thank you Shriney

>>4085905
kringle's next crit is on sunday and will look at submissions on saturday

>>4085402

> banana will get mad at the thread

> and nuke something I dunno
absolutely fucking never
this is my debt to pay back to Lava and LAS
as I've said before, I intend DAD, this version of LAS, to be the LASt. so long as I draw breath, and people still use it, it will persist.

I want banana to ravage my ass. No homo, ofc.

I want to ravage banana's ass, homo.

What do I do when I don't know what to draw? I don't know how to improve or what I "should" be doing! Someone hold my hand and tell me it's going to be okay ;-;

>>4086334
it's ok daddy, try drawing something from a prompt http://drawingprompt.com/

>>4086334
Draw whatever you'd like. Look for flaws. Study to improve upon them.

>>4086108
It's already over

>>4086334
go on a drawthread and pick up a request and give it your best ! It will give you something to scribble for today and you'll make a happy anon, and tomorrow is another day

how to cure cumbrain ?

Latina

>>4086368
Next time you want to look at porn, try drawing or taking a walk or something instead.

>>4086334
Go to the thunderdome, that's what I do when I have no ideas. The spirit of competition makes me draw better

>>4086434
if you love her so much why aren't you drawing her?

any other daddos playing wow classic?
>inb4 playing games ngmi etc etc

>>4086637
I don't play games at all, not that it helps much when it comes to drawing.

>>4086637
>inb4 playing games ngmi etc etc
imo, if you're good at time management then play whatever games you want, although most DADs probably came to DAD because they need to improve that skill

>>4086637
Me

>>4086637

I spent 200+ day-hours of my life on WoW in vanilla, that was enough for me and I mercifully had an excuse to quit when the first xpac came out. Heaven forbid I ever play that game again. It wouldn't stop me from drawing, but it would stop me from working on my own game.

>tfw wanted to play WoW as a kid but for years could never convince parents to pay the subscription and eventually just stopped caring
dodged a bullet, thanks mommy and daddy <3

>>4086675
I stole the time cards all the way up until 2012 when they stopped making them simple scratch offs and you had to take it up to the register. Even stole my expansions. Never got caught. The only time I got caught for stealing was a pair of earbuds (which was stupid of me to do). Good times.

>>4086675
I was the same, except I just started playing runescape instead

>>4086708
based, I had 99 cooking and attack back in the day, back when everyone only had 1 or 2 99s and that cape became your outfit you always wore and it was the first thing your friends described about you

What figure references do you guys use for your gestures? I already know the three gesture sites that are in the sticky and a few hyperangle pic dumps that are in the doc up there.
Are there anymore out there? (especially any scanned action pose type nip books?)

>>4086943
I like video-type figure drawing. Croquis Cafe is nice if you need a quick warm up, while Draw this is better if you wanna do a long session and really want to practice your gestures in-depth
Croquis Cafe: https://vimeo.com/croquiscafe
Draw This: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOVNvkn-f6BW18AvplWI8YA/featured

>>4086943
The croquis cafe photo archive and /s/, at times I just pose in front of the mirror or record a video of myself enacting the character.

Any tips for drawing nice landscapes and scenery? I'm trying to get better and simplifying stuff like grasses and foliage.

>>4086993
Just the usual design principles. Big, medium and small shapes with hard, soft and lost edges and a full range of values. Instead of thinking about grass as a collection of small shapes, merge all of them into a single shape or use the brushwork to do the heavy lifting when it comes to giving a grassy feel

>>4086985
upload of daddy enacting characters for the rest of us daddies when?!

>>4086998
I bet you are not from the time when we used to get people on /soc/ to pose for us weekly on Skype. Those were prime /ic/ times, I tell you, but they only remind me I'm getting old.

>>4087000
I am not. Sounds like I definitely missed out, despite the yuckiness that is /soc/
Still, a dad's gotta try! B)

Oh man, I have been looking forward to this idea for a really long time.

Tonight's Prix Fixe:
> Anchoring a submission link to a comment will highlight it.
> You can now 'reply' to posts. Paying tribute to the site's origination from /ic/, clicking the "No. 123" text in the comment head box will automatically populate the reply box with ">>123", which will be rendered as a link to a comment. Clicking it will highlight and move the browser down to the linked/anchored comment.
> But that's not all! If the comment exists on an entirely different submission, it will be rendered as a direct link with anchor, and will highlight that comment when the page is rendered!

Confused? Please check out these examples:
https://dad.gallery/submissions/38244
https://dad.gallery/submissions/38399

These will be improved upon further to permit metalinking of other site things, as well as improving notifications to permit more nuanced reactions to the replies (currently, a reply will not trigger a notification to the replied if its not in the same thread).
I'm proud of this one, though the implementation might be a bit clumsy, so if you notice any bugs or issues, let me know! Thank you, and good night!

>>4086997
Cool, thanks for the direction man.

>>4087021
thank you banana

>>4087021
What? DAD is evolving!

Congratulations! Your DAD evolved into DADchan!

>>4087021
fuckin neato!! banana for president. always kinda wondered if the numbered comments would have any impact

>>4087021
Would it be possible to have a sort of "subscribe" feature to posts

like how you get notified if someone comments on your own pictures, I think it would be cool to be able to subscribe to any post and recieve notifications if that post gets a comment

or if you comment on someones post, you will get notifications if someone else comments on it too

>>4087049

> like how you get notified if someone comments on your own pictures, I think it would be cool to be able to subscribe to any post and recieve notifications if that post gets a comment
That's certainly possible. I'll have to see how I prioritize this moving forward, because after some more comment fixes... something huge is coming.

> if you comment on someones post, you will get notifications if someone else comments on it too
This already happens. Or at least it should.

I hope I can get hired in a small local studio as a concept artist or illustrator, I'm down for even a non-paid internship in all honesty. I don't want to work as a code monkey for all eternity but I know no one in the field, so an internship would at least provide some networking.

*cough* aHem..

Reddit :)

You could've simply ignored the thread, but you got your knickers in a twist either way. Why do you feel so important as to need your opinion be heard? So to assert your ego in any way shape or form in a token way? I don't get people like you, who meddle with other's business instead of minding your business. Use the time you are investing in getting pissed in drawing... or do you not like drawing? If you don't then why to lurk this board?

Boy, this shit sure grinds my gears. I'll need some potassium after all this cognitive workout.

Let me make one thing seriously clear since I get pinged about this every week.
I don't have any administrative privileges on the LAS discord beyond managing the technical aspects of the thunderdome and the dad channel.
I don't have the answers about why the discord recruiting link is broken, why you got banned, how to get in, any of that stuff.
My core administrative responsibilities are to broadcast what's going on with the site. The Discord is out of my hands. Please stop messaging me about it.

Wtf happened. What did I miss.

>>4087808
I want an art mentor ;;

>>4087809
Are you MENTORABLE? Or have you got the cash?

>>4087819
If I had the cash I would be at art school right now instead of seeking wisdom on 4chan :(

>>4087407
all the best daddy

Of all the generals on /ic/ /fit/ /g/ and /k/ that I frequent, none have ever been so toxic as to not be able to sensibly run a discord group
This is by far the most retarded community out of all of them and can only be compared to the level of garbe seen on /pol/ discords

>>4087943
K

*bans you from discord*

The discord feels really disconnected from the threads and dad. Too many regulars that aren't daddies over there.

>>4087978
We should start a new discord, moderated by Banana only where all members must be active in las
and it will be the one and only offical las discord, all others must be abandoned

>>4087978
where are they coming from?

>>4088058
isnt there a dad discord already

>>4088061
it's dead and mildew, we must start a new one that is fresh and full of possibility

>>4088063
what makes you think another dad discord wouldnt also die

>>4088079
we're all sick of the current discords, having a new one will be a chance to start over and do it right

>>4088059
I'm new to this thing but I think they're from older las times, since it's the las discord, except they're not engaged to this thing anymore.

>>4088061
There are two dad discords, the one linked here, which is dead, and a super secret one, which also doesn't have much activity for obvious reasons.

>>4088079
It wouldn't die if it were done right.

A shitstorm happens for once without me saying anything for the whole day. I'm proud of you, oneirounaut. But please, stop taking credit for all of my doings.

>>4088058
>>4088061
>>4088063
The Unofficial DAD discord linked in the OP is a limbo room for unrecognized users. If your username is the same (or close to) a DAD username (see pic related) AND you have an active streak (so you aren't some random faggot that made a dead account on DAD just to fuck around in discord) then an admin from the Official DAD discord will PM you an invite.

>>4088105
The gatekeepers have no right to withhold people from joining what should be a public group

>>4088105

What if you are/were inactive in the official discord and you're just some random faggot that made a dead account on DAD just to fuck around in the official one?

It would be a really good idea if the discord was available from the site (after making an account or having a streak, I don't know), since the "Official DAD discord" has absolutely no connection to anything.
I bet most don't know about it.

>>4088107
you're free to talk in the unofficial DAD discord if you want a public group where anyone's invited, >>4088058 wants one that is
>only where all members must be active in las
and if you want that you have to filter those that aren't participating in las
participate in las, and you get in, it's really easy, maybe post in general if you haven't gotten an invite yet

>>4088111
That's a good idea, an automated message that sends a 1-time invite link to the discord when you reach a certain streak.
That way you keep it strictly active DADdies and keep all the off-topic faggots that gave up out.

We should make one of those sidebar chatrooms and have it embedded onto the las site

>>4088110
Why does my question get skipped? You have a bunch of users in the official discord who aren't even posting to the site. Why do they get special privileges?

>>4088126
oldschool af

>anons aren’t part of the cool kids discord
pathetic

>>4088137
If you mention discord one more time I'm killing my streak tomorrow.

*ahem*
discord

Think this is the end for me....

WE SHOULD MAKE A SKYPE GROUP!

selling irc invites, 3 tokens for an invite!

oh shit they found the invite to the official discord
SHUT IT DOWN

I thought the discord was just closed/invite only for the summer, people will be going back to school and stuff soon so maybe itll open again

>>4088058

hold on a sec there
Please bear in mind that I don't have anywhere near sufficient bandwidth to work a job, maintain the site, develop new features, work on my own art and other personal pursuits while gatekeeping and moderating an entire community associated with the website. Arguably, assigning me to such a role may potentially interfere with my intent to run the site in an impartial and fair manner.
I've had a generally laissez-faire attitude towards how the community conducts itself OFF the site so long as you're not deliberately and directing acting in a manner to sabotage the mission of the site or harm DAD's overall image. I don't have the time or energy to manage anything beyond the purview of the DAD site itself outside of the Thunderdome mini-project. I by no means intend to run an official Discord. I simply inform the relevant ones about new site features, of which currently, there are two.
I'm just here to spit out code and make sure people who want to draw and maintain that habit have a place to do so. Beyond the comments and other future communication features on the site, external communities are extraneous elements I do not have the time to curate.

>>4088150
>skype
what

Gonna do what 51ip said and study from some daddies.

>>4088242
It doesn't have to be managed by you, just sponsored by the site at the very least. It's not that there's much to moderate anyway.

>>4088150
Unironically this
Who else Skypekino here?

*starts msn group*

didn't we already have a dad discord with inno in the server. Is that a secret club too

>>4088280
It’s so dumb that msn died. It was basically discord. Even had amazing custom emotes.

>>4088282
that's the secret one

>>4088282
that's the official dad discord they were talking about earlier

>>4088282
>he doesn’t know the secret secret club where only hard workers get to stay in
>tfw everyone also only posts about once a week

>>4088293
it's ok, based dare leaked the invite link

>>4088297
post it here and I shall share it with all of /pol/ to punish elitist fags

>>4088305

>>4088305
go fetch it yourself, dork.

>>4088289
>>4088293
I thought we're talking about the other secret las discord with older members

HOW MANY FUCKING DISCORDS DO THERE HAVE TO BE

I'm fine with this. Helps filter the retards out

>he doesn't know the third secret server with pro artists innit

>>4088317

>he thinks there are only 3 las discords

>>4088317
OG Secret Discord
DAD Discord
LAS Discord
Secret Pro Discord(?)

what else is there

>>4088324
My discord, which is a discord so secret that no one else is in it!

Is the las discord really a sekrit club? I stumbled in there a few months ago with no issue when I joined dad

i just want an art friend

>>4088329
I think theyre talking about other discords, the las one isnt secret at all, just not open atm because of summer shitposters

>>4088314
As many tries as it takes for there to be the perfect hyperbolic time chamber of gains.

>>4088332
Nah family. You don't know what you're asking for. I used to think the same. What you should really want is someone who struggles just as hard as you do and you have to reflect back. A rival in arms. Nearly impossible since skill levels are so shaky and resolve is weak with the kids these days.

Who wants to be my rival?

>>4088345
what tier are you?

I want to join hangie on the las discord but it looks like an already established tight knit group and it feels awkward to hop in. Any chance the dad discord could set one up? And does anybody else kinda want the same?

>>4088349
...I got tiered as 1, but I'm sure not staying that way for long. I'll beat everyone.

>>4088358
cute daddy!

>>4088353

nobody cares
just hop in, mute your mic and screenshare
chat in the channel if you want

I know the logistics would be a nightmare but it would be cool if there was some kind of trajectory-tierlist that ranked daddies based on how quickly they're improving.

>>4088364
Bit hard for all the new daddies but would be coo

I'll be someone's art mommy

>>4088353
Just jump right in. I don't hang around hangie much but the people there are really nice

>>4088373
daddy or bust

>>4088353
they seem tight knit because only a few people are brave enough to hangie, they'd love to get new people

>>4088364
Don’t worry, my super secret complex and highly accurate tier list algorithm will be done soon and with that, everyone can be tiered every time all the time.

What are some daddies that were promising but dropped off? I'm curious since I see some pretty good ones that are inactive.

Things learned:
- Draw 8 hours a day, or the entire day if you're feeling lazy
- Read Scott Robertson's how to draw (FOR TWO YEARS)
- Studying fundamentals to find the problems you need to solve, and study other artists to see how they solve those problems
- Draw slightly outside your comfort zone
- Manga > Anime
- You don't need to be good at visualization at Naf's tier
- Play less videogames
- Watch Scott Eaton's anatomy videos, learning the insertions help
- Watch Vilppu's videos, it's better than his book
- Draw digitally earlier on, you'll prefer digital rather than traditional
- Use reference, don't be a purist, it adds extra soul
- Steal gains from other artists, have a big folder of all the artists you like
- Try to draw everything so if some random guy on the street asks you to draw something you'll be able to draw it

devise should record ips on sessions
however, i will only access this data in the event of an attack on the site or the distribution of straight up illegal content)
in this day and age where people collect enough information to craft a 99.9% accurate 3d model of the contours of your anus and an ai that can simulate your natural speech reciting mein kampf i'm a strong advocate for personal privacy and minimal data collection. any identifying information, such as email or ips will NEVER be leveraged by me beyond a justifiable use case (account recovery, network problem diagnosis, reporting illegal content to authorities). from a personal and professional standpoint, a geographical statistics map does not fall under that category.

>boynton beach

Yikes. That's probably was all me. I doubt there is another LAS user in my county.

>>4089889
Why do you have 867 sessions? Or why is the avg session the largest out of any other one at 14 minutes?

all these challenge suggestions and no one's actually making one. what keeps you from making your challenge reality?
for me it's that I'm too lazy to make a badge and I don't want people to think my challenge is stupid

>>4089899
I don’t want to fail my own challenge.

>>4089897

I would browse from my phone at work constantly checking the submissions and then computer so I don't know if that contributed to it? I don't do any of this anymore, though.

>>4089899
I'm just waiting for DAIB to pass, then I'll make the ones I suggested. DAIB is a far higher priority challenge and I don't want to remove the attention from it.

>>4089889
Imagine being the only las user of an entire country of artists.

>>4089905
County, not country.

>>4089852
Having statistics on how users use your website help you in development - if a button is never used, maybe remove it, if a single page is 95% of where your users spend their time, maybe prioritize making it the best page on the website, etc. Geo location is just a fun meme you get for free.

People who value their privacy can very easily opt out of this sort of tracking with ublock or adblock extensions that will just block it outright by default.
Server side logging ips of all sessions is impossible to opt out of. (Not saying you shouldn't have that - web servers have access logs on by default for a reason). These two are used for very different things, though.

>>4089906

The site isn't that big enough yet (may never will be). If county, very possible to be the only one unless it's California. If country, maybe anywhere in Africa.

>>4089912
In all honesty I was surprised at how many artists from my country there were, didn't think many here were literate enough to know English let alone to draw and visit this shithole of a site on top of it all. See, second and third world countries that don't have English as a native language are not really good contenders to be the ones showing up here. I doubt, for example, there are any anons from Peru, I think there'd be far more from Mozambique than from there.

>>4089921
Isn’t Peru all about anime though? I thought we learned /a/ was vastly populated by South Americans, so by that logic, so should every other board. Ironically, this reminds me of the ESL meme.

>>4089923
That's Chile. Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Venezuela are really big with anime due to our size and importance on the global market. Recently Venezuela fell from that list tho, Argentina is soon to follow.

>>4089926
I left a few strands hanging. Chile is the place with a fuck ton of weebs and lolicons due to their legislation and economic system. If you go on /a/ and post "João, vai lavar a louça e para de falar merda no /a/" or a Spanish equivalent you'll get a lot of replies, those are all exceptions to the "English speaking" rule but not to the "not doing anything useful with their time" rule.

The culture of anime here comes from it being the main form of entertainment for the kids that grew up in the 90's, we had one of the best dubs of DBZ and Saint Seya, Pokémon, cowboy bebop, trigun, Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakusho, all that jazz, and those all aired on open television. The fact that Brazil also has the world's largest Japanese population outside of Japan also helps bridging the weeb gap, and from Brazil to the rest of SA is not that much work.

Most of the Spanish dubs of animes, from what I understand, come from Mexico. Even though they are not in SA they did help a lot at spreading the weeb virus. Even though anime is big in Colombia, Uruguay, Peru, Guatemala, etc., most of their weebs dwell locally and not here due to not knowing English.

>>4089863

Which would be...

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know of any exclusive female group throughout history. Most of the rulers were kings, most of the warriors were men, but bakers, farmers, tailors, etc. also could and often were male too. Thinking about it now, the groups that were almost exclusively female were handmaiden and prostitutes.
