/sugg/ - Suggestions / Meta

I am now officially retired as owner. The site has been transferred to Bal/Seagal's server, and the domain will be transferred next week.

That doesn't mean I'll never come around; I will stay on as an admin and tech consultant. But I am going to try to be a little more distant and focus on other things. Day to day operations and policy have been left up to Seagal and the modmin team. See the news post.

Goodbye friendos, it's been a fun 14 years.

Hey, Seagal. Since you recently permabanned me for criticizing your staff (and criticizing your staff in a perfectly civil and reasonable manner, I should add), I figured that I would hop on a public VPN and post a little farewell message on here. And I'm not going to be nearly as civil this time.

I first discovered Uboachan around 2012, when I was a teenager, after falling in love with Yume Nikki. Around the same time, I created the Uboachan Facebook group, which is still up, even though the Facebook account that I created it with has been gone for over a decade. The thing that most appealed to me about Uboachan was not just the Yume Nikki discussion, but the community. Uboachan was the only anonymous imageboard I had ever encountered that had a civil, mature, and respectful community. Compared to something like 4chan, it was practically a revelation.

For a long time, no website was more near and dear to my heart than Uboachan was. I often said that, if the site were to ever be shut down, I would purchase it myself just to keep it running forever. But I now realize that 2012 Uboachan is never coming back, and the site would be much better off just being put out of its misery. In the years since 2012, Seisatsu did everything that he possibly could to run Uboachan into the ground, including opening an official site Discord server (which completely killed the activity on the main site and only brought in the worst kinds of people), explicitly welcoming lolicon/shotacon pedos onto the site, starting an official site tranny thread (making us the laughingstock of all imageboards), employing his Discord xisters as mods, banning "hate speech" (i.e. criticism of his attempts to retool Uboachan into some kind of tranny hugbox), and generally trying to turn the site into his own personal /tttt/ Discord server, even thought the site was never originally meant to have anything to do with transgenderism or any kind of identity politics at all. As Seisatsu continued trying to remake Uboachan in his disgusting image, most oldfags fled the site entirely and the only new users who came in were trannies, pedophiles, incels, and femcels who came from the Discord server, which continues to get far more activity than the main site does, even today. And even those miasmic Discord users who came to Uboachan largely just moved back to Discord after a while. Today, Uboachan is not only completely dead, but also just another toxic and unpleasant imagebPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

unban me

hi uboa. my friend received a global ban [ID: 6857] which he is unable to appeal, as it errors out saying "That ban doesn't exist or is not for you". the ban was for breaking rule 2. he apologizes for committing any wrongdoing, saying to consult his "past post history".

Don’t you just hate it when phones sometimes just autocorrects stuff for you and forces some bullshit typing quirk against your will sure you can simply backspace and type it again to bypass it but sometimes anons tend to forget to do that that it’s makes other anons think some posts are by the same person

Seagal, can you finally do what needs to be done and axe the official site Discord server?

Creating a Discord server for this site was the single worst mistake that the previous administration ever made. As soon as they created the Discord server, the main site went from fairly active to completely dead. It also effectively ruined the site's reputation because it only brought in the worst kind of people.

It's time for this mistake to be fixed. The Discord server has killed our site's activity for far too long now.

why are the anons with blue names such assholes?

Does the main page redirect to reddit??? Or do I have a computer virus???

I'm scared

The trans thread has been eliminated! Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

It doesn't mean I'm gonna ban you if you talk about transgender stuff or whatever, however, I recommend you not to, posting about that in an anonymous IB of all places exposes you to unnecessary hostilities.

However, if you really have to, you can do it in /hikki/ as long as its on topic or in /ot/
But frankly, social media or group chats where you can actually moderate and keep your discussions in peace sounds like the only healthy alternative.

The thread was awkward to manage as well because of needing to constantly babysit and puts the staff in a place where we have to give special treatment to a group of people and we definitely do not want to.

In a website like this, things you post will be challenged, not necessarily with bad intentions, so keep that in mind, and also be careful with the info you share.

While the thread was hilarious at times, for the most part it only exposed the transgender users to constant ridicule and gave the staff a headache, not to mention it was deteriorating into very creepy and concerning discussions at times, which I seriously hope was the product of trolling.

Even if I was willing to put up with this and we were in a gated community, I am not transgender and I don't know anything about it other than what a quick google search can tell me, so I couldn't do it efficiently if I wanted to.

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Can you please stop locking threads just because one retard derailed them? You could easily create a "derailment megathread" on /trash/ and move the derailing posts there.

Locking threads at all is pure authoritarian bullshit. The users of the site should get to decide when a thread has "run its course".
