Recent DDoS attack on the Forums, your reaction?
Zoop replied to Flicker Sweet's topic in General Discussion
"Oh, this again?" Unlike last time where we were caught somewhat with our pants down, this time Feld0 was able to take steps to minimize the impact of the attack on the site. It helps that our present web host wasn't completely brought to its knees by the attack, like the one we had previously, too. -
Clearly a symbol originally created in 1219 AD, and which has been used as a military decoration since 1813 is a true symbol of fascism. ...

I approve of this, even though I won't be following through myself. Bald people don't look good in blouses. I double approve of this.

The Future of My Little Pony and the Brony Phenomenon
Zoop replied to planet news's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Again, the reason why so much of the material produced by the Touhou fandom is of such a high quality is to due how much money is involved by comparison. Those fanmade Touhou animes? Despite the fact that most English speaking folks watched them for free, those were all commercial endeavors - again, I somehow doubt that Hasbro would be willing to tolerate unlicensed commercial activity to that same extent. A couple people selling plushies on eBay, or selling a bit of digital music online is one thing - entire teams coming together to produce (arguably) studio quality animation with the intention of selling DVDs? Another entirely. -
The Future of My Little Pony and the Brony Phenomenon
Zoop replied to planet news's topic in Sugarcube Corner
I honestly don't see MLP ever becoming anywhere near as big as Touhou is, to be honest. I think a lot the reason that it was able to take off to the ridiculous level it did had to do with ZUN's extremely relaxed stance on copyright; I don't think Hasbro would take nearly as kindly to people making unlicensed commercial fan games, albums, comic books, episodes, movies, figures, and all other manner of merchandise as ZUN did. And... to be completely honest, there are a lot of aspects of the Touhou community (western, at least) that I really hope don't end up being copied in the brony community. x_x * Zoop is a recovering Touhouholic that owns several hundred dollars worth of games, albums, and other assorted merchandise. -
To be fair, Arylett abuses everybody on the staff, other than her beloved 'Scatcoal' I can't count the number of times she has killed me in the staff chat.

If posts make it through due to some sort of technical derp, we're not going to come down on people; the only people that get hit with that warning will be those that have knowingly and willingly spat on our rules by way of blatantly trying to evade an automated system we have in place to prevent certain types of behavior. "CHARACTER MINIMUM CHARACTER MINIMUM" and similar filler text will be punished, yes. About three hours ago. :3

*Admin discretion. Slight difference, but an important one. Anyhow... you wouldn't want full-on trolls to be left alone until they've managed to reach 1,000 points, would you? That's pretty much the reason why that clause exists.

6/10. Lacks an 'oop'

Such humor, if it is to such an extent that an outside observer would not be able to readily tell that it is all intended as a joke, serves little purpose other than to make everyone else - everyone that isn't 'in the know - uncomfortable, and uncertain as to what serves as acceptable content within this community. If a guest is browsing the forum, deciding if he would like to join our community sees content like that being allowed to sit around in the open, what is to stop him or her from thinking that that sort of behavior is the norm here? I'm sorry, but I cannot agree - joke or no joke.

If a link to such a thing makes sense and isn't simply mindless spam, I don't really see an issue under the right circumstances - it wouldn't be advertising so much as it would be a meaningful contribution to the discussion at hand. Additionally, plugging your own site via your signature/profile is perfectly acceptable. In the end, if you're uncertain if a specific course of action would run foul of our advertising rules, I'd encourage you to submit a support ticket about it, seeking clarification on the matter. Only if one of more parties starts to act like a prick. Heated arguments are fine, and inevitable - it is perfectly possible to remain respectful through them. Being a jerk and/or goading someone into losing their temper? Not kosher. Feel free to submit a query regarding any image or media that you're uncertain of - we'd be happy to review it and let you know if it's acceptable, especially if it involves hawt steamy shipping stuff. Dead serious. We may have had a bit of fun with that one. ^^; That thread is terrible and you should feel bad for making it, but that's not exactly what we have in mind. I MEANT PORN TEXT STUFF OKAY? D: Don't make me hurt you.
