The creator of a thread can delete it once he's finished.
120 hour autosage
quests that started on /tg/ can stay on /tg/ unless they voluntarily move

Let's start with this.

Remove the 3 day bump limit.

Kinda pointless, since there's a limited audience.

Yes.

>>570135
Your going to get deleted soon

>What features would you like to see added to this board?
Some kind of real-time poll device would be good. Though potentially difficult.

>How do you think the board is so far?
Disappointing. Questing doesn't have a large enough native population to sustain an entire board. And since we're not allowed anywhere else there's no way to possible attract new blood.

>Do you believe quests should be allowed on the rest of the site?
Definitely, because that's the only way to reach anyone new.

>>570135
Creator of a thread can choose whether to implement userIDs.
Multiple die sizes in one post.

Some of the fiddlier stuff.

>>570150
Making sure that quests on /tg/ actually have substantial systems is probably a good compromise.
At the very least, it'd cut down on the stupid arguments about quests not being /tg/ related due to not having systems (Even though many do).

>>570142
>>>/qa/668450
Hiro is watching

>>570135
I feel that, to newcomers and outsiders (likely not already familiar with the concept), "Quests" is not a concept that is self-explanatory like, say, "Comics and Cartoons", "Fitness" or "Literature" are.

With no prior notions as to how the board aligns with their interests, they will have little incentive to visit the board itself.

So I'm worried how /qst/ will develop in the long term, isolated from other organic boards to supply fresh blood.

>>570148
>Creator of a thread can choose whether to implement userIDs.

This is a big one.

Dammit, forgot to answer the second question.
>>570135
Thread OP can delete their own thread when finished with the run.
And
Remove the 3-day bump limit.

Not good. Ever since quests got kicked out of /tg/ they lost a lot of players. From a quarter to half, or even worse, depending on hpw popular it was. The popular ones are still managing to run, due to the dedicated fanbase. The others? Not so much. Unpopular ones barely reach 100 posts and just die.

Let it be on /tg/ if it's relevant to the topic. Say, like that auest where it actually used one of the tabletop game rules to run a homebrew quest.

OR

Just let the quests run. When quests were at it's height it barely took up 1/10 of the board. If clogging up the catalog is the issue then generals are a bigger problem, yet peope don't adress this. Bot to mention that some threads that belong to generals are not posted in aaid generals, thus bumping down other non-general threads.

>>570148
>>570158
And to clarify, what I mean big is that most people are used to quests without IDs. Some QMs have said they prefer them, some haven't, just having a drop-down option within the Start a Thread box sorts those parties out.

>>570157
This as well. The name of the board could be changed into something more representing.
In the past, names such as 'Interactive Fiction'(/IF/) and the likes has been suggested, yet there has been no response.

>>570148
>Creator of a thread can choose whether to implement userIDs.
This as well. The new system forcefully stickingtrips is only call forth trip related drama. Making only the OP be able to see it, or the option to just shut down the trip system for the thread would be useful.

>>570135
Get rid of the user IDs, or make them optional.
Allow non quest threads to be made.
And definitely, absolutely allow quests on /tg/.

>>570166
>Interactive Fiction
I'd quite like it if /qst/ was expanded to be a general fiction board.
You can't talk about genre fiction on /lit/, and only fantasy novels are allowed on /tg/. Plus, you can kind of get sci-fi stuff past /m/'s moderators.

ALLOW NSFW CONTENT

>>570175
No.
Ate you kidding?

>>570178
t. RapeApe

>>570179
It's not even a preferency issue.
Currently /qst/ is a blue board, it's fundamently impossible.

>>570178
No. Why would I be kidding?

There's zero reason for this not to be NSFW considering the main draws are /b/ and the quest audience, the latter of which practically has it's foundations slapped together with cum.

>>570183
Then make it red.

>>570183
Text should return to being considered SFW, no matter the content.
Smut being a bannable offense is fucking stupid, and there's absolutely no reason to maintain the rule now that we have our own board, it's just another reason for people to use Anonkun over /qst/.

>>570175
while I don't actually want smutquests, there's not much reason to forbid nsfw. Seriously, why?

>>570186
If you want an example of what happens when you allow smut quests on a site, see anonkun.

That is not what I want this board to be.

>>570192
>If you want an example of what happens when you allow smut quests on a site, see anonkun.
Filled with content, creators and long standing quests?

Right, we don't want that at all.

>>570190
Written is okay, pictures shouldnt be allowed.

Text should always be safe for work.

meta-threads should be allowed.

get rid of thread IDs.

>>570202
At least 1 general thread where all the meta goes, because I can see people complaining about that stuff.

1. More options for creators like the option to delete a thread. Some QMs like to run quests in spurts and don't want to see their thread slowly die as it takes up space.

2. Let us back on /tg/. Explain why you shoved us into this gas chamber in the first place.

3. Have the coward mod that deleted the last discussion thread come forward and explain himself.

>>570199
Like I said: I don't personally care for quests that use them, often because they use them really, really badly, but....

What is the strict reason for not having pictures? Something more specific than "not end up like anonkun", because that will probably fly way over hiro's head.

>>570202
>Text should always be safe for work.
should always be considered safe for work.

I should have been more specific. I think smut quests should be allowed so long as actual porn images aren't included in the thread. Text smut should be permitted.

>>570204
There needs to be more than one discussion thread. We should be allowed to post rec threads and feedback threads, stuff like that. /qtg/ is inadequate for building a community

>>570208
Because I like to have a place for questing that is sfw, if I want nsfw I go to akun.

>>570186
See, what I'm aorried about is this: lets say ae allow NSFW, smut whatevers. Then people will make smut threads. Then, when a new guy comes in and sees all these things, they might just think 'oh quests are just porn roleplay, not intrested'.
Sure, good threads wil persist, but the influx might get scared away.

>>570188
>Text should return to being considered SFW, no matter the content.
Shoot, Eureka!
How about we allow NSFW content, but threads need to check an option to post NSFW content before posting the OP, and said thread will appear with some indication on the catalog/OP? Like a red frame, or a image that cover up the OP image like a spoiler, but instead it says 'NSFW content'.

>>570211
I wouldnt want 1 discussion thread per quest, because then it becomes a clusterfuck, keep quest-related discussion at the end of the quest thread and general meta discussion to a general, done.

>>570218
4chan should be considered on it's own and for it's own merits, not including another thing.

>>570221
Sure, I like the idea.

Since that requires work, though, it probably won't ever be implemented.
Not that anything in this thread will be.

>>570222
>I wouldnt want 1 discussion thread per quest
That's unlikely to happen, but I think for long running quests the occasional conversation and feedback thread rather than a thread that's solely about continuing the adventure would be a good idea. It could act as a primer for interested or new players, or remind the active playerbase of long running plot threads or early hooks that have fallen by the way side.

>>570211
>There needs to be more than one discussion thread. We should be allowed to post rec threads and feedback threads, stuff like that.
If they are done as intermissions that take up a run schedule and is a sparce but regularly happening one, I'm okay with it.
But a discussion thread after each run? Not okay. The catalog will be clogged by it.

>>570225
You want nsfw, I want sfw, I'm willing to compromise to text smut but I dont want images because it makes my life harder having to explain my roomate why am I watching a place with nipple-dick pictures, I think the sfw concept it's not that hard to understand and not having pictures doesnt detract from your written-smut enjoyment.

>>570208
Not every board needs to have full frontal hardcore porn images.

>>570234
All I've seen from /qtg/ is it doesn't tolerate sustained discussion of a single quest for very long. Having a thread for feedback and conversation, specifically, even if its for every quest rather than one in particular, would be a good idea.

>>570234
The catalog is already emptier than deep space at this point though.

>>570235
That's pretty good.

>>570242
You're thinking right now, you're not thinking "if the board succeeds" long. If this gets popular and starts getting all kinds of quest threads then you're gonna have a general per thread duplicating the space occupied+the usual "I didnt bother looking" thread here and there. That's a lot of threads for a normal-userbase board.

>>570235

Obligatory spoiler for NSFW images. Easy.

>>570260
Okay, that can work too, I dont mind that.

>>570263
How about this?

>>570221
This way you can tell the difference between smut and regular spoilers.

>>570265
I mean if the NSFW are spoiled, you would have them hidden anyways, which is the main issue, although being able to tell which quests are NSFW from which are SFW would be good too. I dont see it as super necessary, but it's not a bad addition.

>>570143
>And since we're not allowed anywhere else there's no way to possible attract new blood.
Shitting up /tg/ for years didn't attract any real new blood, quest threads have always and always will have a tiny number of participants relative to discussion threads and generals. It isn't inherently a bad thing but letting quest threads clog up other boards so they can attract new blood is retarded, it is like supporting /pol/ shit up other boards so more people might go to /pol/

>>570273
I actually have to disagree, I started questing when I saw a quest thread in /tg/ when I was just looking for a gamefinder thread, found that quests are a extremely comfortable way of doing p&p-ish related stuff and stuck with it since.

>>570273
Unless you're saying that p&p is not /tg/ related, in which case, I think you're retarded.

>>570273
Anecdotal but I found HQQ on /tg/ when browsing for setting threads and that's how I came to follow all three quests I follow today.

>>570273
And let me guess, you "just want /qst/ to work".

You think quests are that bad? Then leave. You've won, and we have no recourse: Hiro either doesn't understand the problem or doesn't have the balls to do anything about it, and the mods have made their position of "fuck you guys" clear. There was never a discussion, there's not going to be a discussion, and your first five words made it clear that THIS isn't even really a discussion.

>>570283
I think it's fair to assume that everyone that plays quests comes from /tg/ or was redirected to that by someone who browses /tg/. Quests arent known outside there by people, you dont approach some random dude (even in a traditional games shop) and ask him if he does quests, you know you have to find fa/tg/uys for that, however traditional games are known by everybody and are gonna keep attracting people to that board. Quests arent a mainstream hobby and wont attract anybody new, so the userbase will keep stale or die slowly.

>>570273
>Shitting up /tg/ for years didn't attract any real new blood,
But that's how I got into auesting.
Rwad up about quests at my local internet's wiki, and visit /tg/. And saw the quest in the catalog that intrested me. This was a year and a halfl before.
>quest threads have always and always will have a tiny number of participants relative to discussion threads and generals.
>
Counterpoint: multiple quests.
Want some examples? Hive Queen Quest. Hellborn Quest. Ace combat quest. These threads easily got over few posts within Hours back when it played.(and some still are, until they got driven off)
>it is like supporting /pol/ shit up other boards so more people might go to /pol/
And that's wrong because polshit is unrelated to said boards.
Here's another example. Recently there was a quest that used a tabletop gaming system to generate and play a quest. Is this not /tg/ related?

Please get rid of or extend the three day bump limit.

>>570273
Shitting up /tg/ is subjective. Quests were on topic for the board and still would be if it weren't for the mod. Quests are not alien to /tg/. They started there, mostly stayed there, and were overwhelmingly posted in by people from there. They're only "shitting up" the board if you hate them personally.

I'd like for mods to listen to us for one.
I'd also like for this thread not to be closed/deleted like the last one I opened.
I'd LOVE for Hiro to really read all of this text.

But let's be honest, I doubt that's actually going to happen.

>>570316
anonkun plz go

>>570309
Agreed, I dont like magic the gathering but I wouldnt force people to do a magic the gathering board, because it's traditional gaming.

>>570316
If there's any one thing /qst/ needs to not happen. that's what it needs to happen the least.

There is literally nothing wrong with /qst/.

>>570347
I hold a different opinion.

I disagree in at least two ways. Probably closer to four or five, really.

>>570347
I could say >shitposter/anti-quester
but since I don't know you, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and let you explain yourself.

Please, go ahead and explain to us why there's nothing wrong with /qst/.

>>570135
I have to agree that the OP should be able to at least close/archive the thread when they're done.

>>570394
I can still read and particpate in the quests I like just fine.

>>570135
>Do you believe quests should be allowed on the rest of the site?
Either somehow allow for there to be more traffic directed to this board i.e allowing shilling, change the name, Or make it so that /qst/ is highly optional

>>570406
Hey, I'm still alive, this means everything is fine.
What do you mean I'm homeless and I have lost an arm in a car crash? It's fiiiiiine, I swear.

Dude, just because you can read and participate in those quests doesn't mean everything is A-okay.
It's not that easy because of something called "other persons".

why do you want to get rid off the IDs? so QM can post all the time to railroad the players?

>>570414
To me it seems like you're all just butthurt that you lost your internet fight with the /tg/ mods. Plenty of good quests run here successfully and that's all we actually need from a quest board. Most of the complaints are just nitpicking.

>Autosage threads after 24 hours at least
>Allowance of lewd if spoiler'd
>Ability of OP to enable/disable ID's

also Hiro if your are here, thank you for at the very least listening to us, it's more than we got out of the mod on /tg/

>>570430
No, because they don't really stop anyone dedicated from samefagging, which is why this is supposed to be a thing.
At best, it would be nice for QMs to be able to choose whether they want it or not. Not like it would be a problem.

>>570432
What I mean is that just because everything seems fine to you doesn't mean it's fine for others.

>>570436
Let's just hope he delivers.

>>570436
I'd be down with this.

>>570437
fucking hell I hope so, if there's one thing /qst/ desperately needs it maintenance of some sort if mod/anti-questers want it to work as a containment board

>>570436
Honestly, I'd be on board with this even if there was just the ">A Mod that will at least on some level Engage with the Board if there are perceived problems" thing. This way, we could get an arrangement.

It's one thing to build board, it's another to let burn because you're too lazy to take care of it.

>>570436
I'm not sure how effective it would be for the enabling/disabling of ID's but the other stuff would be nice. Maybe sticky a Quest Thread General or something?

Honestly if Hiro is still here, Bless his Heart for doing more then his Mods.

>>570445
I'm still bitter being tossed out of /tg/ because some Mod was an arse about it and then came through to delete anything everywhere and act as if he was innocent.

By the way, If Hiro is here, can we can a dump of all the things Mods have banned for him to see on /qst/ anyway before the move and after if possible?

>>570460
>I'm still bitter being tossed out of /tg/ because some Mod was an arse about it

yeah well there ain't a hell of a lot we can do about it now, best we can do is hope Hiro gets the Mod's in gear in making the place better quality.

>and then came through to delete anything everywhere and act as if he was innocent

What? I know shit on /tg/ related to /qst/ and generals is getting deleted but whats this about mod supposedly acting innocent?

Hence why I asked a dump of images and screen-shots mate. I know some Anon out there has those pictures. It'll help prove the fact of mod bullshit.

Also the real 'refusal' to have any discussion doesn't show the mods in a good light, not even one.

>>570477
But what do you mean by regulations?

>>570477
Okay.
Here's what the general consensus is so far.

Remove the three day bump limit on this board.
Make it so that thread IDs are optional
Allow NSFW pictures if they're behind spoilers
Allow some meta threads
Allow quests to go on other boards if relevant

There are probably some other things, but I think we can all agree on these.

>>570486
I think he means suggestions? But i'm not sure on it sense we can't do any regulations.

>>570487
I'd rather permit NFSW writing then pictures in all honesty, and the last one kinda nullifes the 'need' so to speak of having quest.

Personal I'd suggest letting us go home to our native boards with each Mod being told 'accept it, They belong here. '

>>570477
What did he mean by this

>>570487
Why do you want threads to last even longer?

>>570477
>>570487
Maybe allow NSFW threads if they label them as NSFW.

I'm also okay with a 24 hour bump limit.

Updated suggestions/regulations whatever

>>570492
Because the limit now fucks with some slower people. Even now, the time limit doesn't really do anything. A quest that last got bumped over 48 hours ago is still sitting pretty on page 7.

>>570496
>wanting the lewd akun-tier playerbase

>>570487
Also, allow thread makers to delete their own threads with no time restriction.

>>570477
Add one more vote for 'Allowing quests on other boards again'.

Who cares about an explanation or something from the /tg mod.

Who wants /qst to turn into erotic roleplaying.

Keep it a blue board.

>>570499
The autosage encourages people to make new threads to kick failed quests off the board. If anything the autosage should happen sooner.

Autosage for 48 hours seems fine.

Now I have a quest that will autosage in 3 hours. What do I do? Do I continue running in it after 2 days of pause with an autosage? Or do I create a new thread and have 2 of my quests threads on the board at the same time. Seems confusing.

>>570518
The problem with that is that there's a thread limit per IP, and threads don't fall off very fast even after getting dumped by autosage. It'd be better to just ride a thread to its natural bump limit than have to abandon it because of an arbitrary time limit..

Also also, consider changing the board name to something related to either fiction /FIC/ or quests and forum games (which i guess could still be called) /qst/, since that would probably increase flow to the board.

>>570530
Maybe it would be better to remove the thread limit, and limit the post count back to manageable levels of 300 posts?

700-800 posts per thread is insanely huge, and only a select number of quests were able to reach these numbers anyway, even before /qst/.

>>570536
I dunno how much more traffic we'd even get if we changed the name to something like that in all honesty.

>>570545
I can think of only two off the top of my head.

>>570534
I'm going to make a small protest against the 24 hour autosage. My threads have a dedicated playerbase, but it's entirely possible that I could be forced to skip a day's run for one reason or another. I understand you can't please everyone, and if I get thrown under, so be it- I'll adapt, but I'd prefer to keep the 3 day limit, if we have to have one at all.

That's all! I like the other ideas, though, and support them. I like /qst/.

>>570477

I would like quest runners to have the option of running on either /tg/ or /qst/.

Some quests have made their home here but other quest runners prefer to run in the /tg/ environment where its faster paced compared to /qst/.

>>570547
any improvement is better than no improvement

Can this thread get a sticky?

>>570548
Handler do you archive your quest? Or know how too because that makes me worry.

>>570553

Remove quest thread ban on /tg/, many started there and are still running. Forcing an immediate shift will cause many, if not all, of the quests that started there to lose most of their players.
Not to mention the ban was pure cancer to begin with.

The option to still run quests on /tg/.

/qst/ functions better as extra space for quests, rather than a containment. It should complement /tg/, not remove a portion of it's userbase and remain forcibly separate.

The only exception I can imagine, is that quests which are blatantly obviously not /tg/ related in any way at all, like ones about cute anime maid girls, are just moved to /qst/ rather than /tg/.

>>570882
Any discussion of the fact that Hiro is telling us to try talking to mods/janitors, then the mods/janitors deleting everything that gets posted to /tg/ and most references to those posts on /qst/.

Basically anything we can point to and tell Hiromoot that the mods are actively, if not maliciously stifling any attempt we make to discuss the situation.

So are we officially back to Nazimod days?

>>571120
Nobody's been accused of being a spergling who shoops mod posts. Yet.

>>571120
Kind of. Not entirely yet, but this could be the start.

>>571120
If we are, then maybe /qst/ is a blessing in disguise.
Being insulated from that shit is a potential positive of being on an entire different board.
Of course, that doesn't help everything else we do on /tg/, but it's something.

>>571175
Nah, remember, we don't have anything to do with /tg/. We just all showed up here from tumblr one day last year because we heard about 4chan from reddit.

>>571298
Hey, speak for yourself. I was there for years peacefully until I foolishly started having unsanctioned fun.

>>570135
In an ideal world, deleted and merged back with /tg/ or allowed as long as relevant to the board (eg anime quests go in /a/)

But since that won't happen because mods are pieces of shit:

Expand the scope of the board to all forum games

Allow some discussion on other boards

Remove the 3 day bump limit, which is pointless with such a tiny userbase

Remove IDs

>>570273
You got what you wanted. Why are you even here anti-questfag, because you revealed you have nothing to contribute in the first five words of your post.

>>570135
Delete this board.

Send quests back to /tg/.

Fire all mods who had anything to do with /qst/.

>>571334
3 day bump limit is required with this small userbase

>lurkers
Why the hell would you lurk in a quest? Player participation is what keeps them alive. I mean, I lurked for like a day when I first discovered quests, but that was only until I understood how to properly participate.

>>571370
Lurkers are literally worthless. They don't vote, they don't pitch in, they don't count for anything at all.

>>571398
I won't pretend I have a reason for why I do it but I actually prefer lurking unless I absolutely have to vote.

Don't ask me why, I can't explain it to myself...

>>571388
>>571398
>>571401
But these guys know what's up.

>>570477
Put quests back on /tg/ please god.

>>571370
That is a bit illogical. The number of posters doesn't really matter, what does is effective board traffic and sustainability. We could have 50,000 lurkers who only post in two threads a few times or 500 anons who post in many threads consistently for long periods. The second group are more valuable for the long term growth and survival of the board.

This can also be seen in regards to the need for QM/CM/DM type users. There are a few who came here from /tg/ and one or two have stepped up to the plate since then yet at the same time many others have tried and failed after only one or two threads. If such a rate of OP depletion continues without replenishing the supply the board will die in a few years. No matter what actions are taken.

This is part of the reason being on /tg/ was so good, since even when quests were kinda dead. If a new anon looked through the sup.tg archive they might end up looking through a quest thread or two and deciding to join in or start a new one. That helped to cultivate new generations after periods of die off.

At the end of the day though as to actual suggestions of shit to do to the board;

1) Change board name to a better, more accurate name like "interactive storytelling".

2) Allow for lewd quests, lewd art/images (behind a spoiler (perhaps even get a different kind of spoiler image for lewd?)).

3) Allow creators of threads to delete them

4) Allow meta

5) Expand the definition of quests to include, if it doesn't already, Risk and other such threads.

6) Get us a dedicated Janitor or something, force those who put us here to care for us rather than throwing away the key, so to speak.


Alternatively, return us to our homelands, return us to /tg/.

>>570283
And I came to start it the same way. Was just a regular /tg/ user and stumbled upon a quest I liked and then just went from DM to QM. I think that's more the norm than the exception, honestly.

That old suggestion about quests bumping to page 2 might work too, if we ever go back to /tg/.
A lot of the anti-questers focus on page 1 as the core of their argument. If quests (Or any thread marked as a quest, anyway) only bumped up to page 2, then page 1 would be clear and they'd have far less to bitch about.
I don't think page 1 is all that important as long as they'd still be in the catalog and all the other pages. It's not like we don't all label our quests anyway.
What'd you guys think about it?

>>571518
It won't. Every non-starter quest is one less QM, and the ghetto limits the possible participants. /qst/ will just get slower and more incestuous until taken out of its misery.

>>571544
>implying /tg/ never had failed shitty quests

>>570273
I only came here to test run my fanventure before doing it for realsies. I'm one of the few "native" users since I only came here on a passing whim much like Melancholic Quest's OP (came here out of curiosity).

>>571418
Why do you want smut quests so badly? Go to anonkun for those.

>>571557
It totally did, but /tg/ also had other reasons for people to go there which provided new players at a consistent rate. Anybody who doesn't already quest has no reason to come here ever and people will still leave for one reason or another because that's just a thing that happens. Even disregarding the total mismanagement of the implementation of this board causing a lot of people to dislike it on principle or simply out of spite.

>>571564
"Go to another website" isn't valid here. This is considering 4chan as a whole and as a whole there's no point for there to be a ban on smut.

>>570186
>>570192
Or leave it blue and just allow off-site linking for images and smutty text. MLP's questing community is doing fine like that.

No, this is a bad idea. Some people use the long thread life. Others do not. But enforcing thread death is the illusion of life the board doesn't need. If they want us to stay on the board, let them be honest about how dead it really is.

>>571591
The qm should have the ability to run a lewd quest if they want, we just need to have rules for it. Spoilers for the pictures and maybe something that shows which quests are lewd and which aren't

>>571602
smut quests are pure cancer and attract the worst players anon

>>571613
Sure they do. But on the other hand you already have stuff like Stuck in Westeros so it can't eally get worse than this.

Plus this supposes that QMs are good enough to write smut, which isn't easy.

>>571613
Mine didn't. I had very nice playerbases who were polite and thoughtful.

Why not allow NSFW content, but NSFW images are not allowed in the OP's so anybody who wants smutquests can enjoy them freely, while people who want SFW content can avoid them?

>>571621
Adding a whole new bad group of players definitely makes the board worse even if we already have some bad players

>>570135
Simple:

Let all quests go to the boards that they're most related to

Change /qst/ to be about forum games.

You want to make a quest in /qst/? Nothing stopping you. You want to make a quest where there is an audience? I think you should.

>>571635
This is more or less the perfect solution to all quest related problems, and it is mind boggling how hard it seems to be for mods to figure this shit out.

>>571646
You seem to be overestimating the mod's intelligence.

>>571653
Either malice or incompetence. At this point there is no other excuse, they are either incompetent or are doing it on purpose.

>>571646
It's really not a good idea. You're unironically advocating for the death of the questing community.

What do you think he meant earlier by "please make regulations"?

>>571658
That's how quests worked from the beginning, /tg/ quests were on /tg/, /a/ quests were on /a/, /d/ quests on /d/ etc. and things were perfectly fine. The problem that actually came up in that situation was people complaining that they were off topic and they all got pushed to /tg/, where moot said himself they were on topic, but people kept complaining anyways and here we are on /qst/.

>>571658
Have you actually opened your eyes in the past few months?

Quests are not an isolated community. They are a part of a larger community, and belong on the board that they sell to. Quests on /tg/ attract players who post on /tg/, quests on /a/ attract players who enjoy /a/ related things, quests on /d/ that enjoy horrific smut monsters. This is the natural order of things, it's how it was before the mods started fucking things up, how in god's name does that kill questing?

>>571695
Because it doesn't fit his narrative that somehow /qst/ is the sole hope for humanity. Which if /tg/ really is on the highway to Nazimod2.0 it may well be.

There is no analog to quests on any other board besides /tg/ because all quests were banished to /tg/ in moot's era.

Because of this, there is no reason for anyone to visit this board. The only audience we have is the remnants of writefags from /tg/. It's a stupid fucking system.

Thank you

I think first and foremost is the one everyone agrees on:

PLEASE let quests onto /tg/.

Delete the sticky at the top of /tg/ claiming that all quests will get deleted (second one down). Then make a new sticky stating that the previous order was in error.

Thank you for your time and patience.

>>571742
The quests that were "banished" to /tg/ went back to their original boards within months, because Moot forgot about it and the mods didn't give a shit anymore.
There's a reason why so many people here are from /v/, or /a/, or wherever. Because their quests were on /v/ or /a/ or wherever. The quests from /tg/ are /tg/ originals and have been for over two years.

There are even quests on /mlp/, but they're still in /mlp/ thanks to GR15.

>>570477
Instead of tying the QM controls to the IP of the user, tie them to the trip used in the OP. The concept behind tying it to the IP was to allow the same QM to have said controls, but QM have dynamic IPs or post from their home/phones/work. Unless you know you're going to have the same IP for the duration of your thread it's better to forego the formatting options entirely because consistency with post style is important. Using the trip to determine the QM does the exact same thing only without that severe limitation.

The autosage is presumably to keep dead quests with absent QMs from staying on the board forever right? Then after the 72 hour time limit make only QM posts bump.

>>571772
They did that, actually. I changed IP but my tripcode activated the BBcodes just fine.

Especially when I made errors in the damn things.

>>571808
Oh good, I must not have noticed that change.

>>571808
You'd think they would have mentioned something like that. It's a pretty big change that a lot of people asked for. Increasing the thread limit from 3 to 5 got a modpost, and that's only relevant to a handful of extra-prolific QMs.

>>570477
Supporting the option of having quests on /tg/.

If it isn't possible, then >>570487 along with a 24-hour bump limit and the ability for the OP to close the thread when they are done if they wish.

>>571821

>>571841
How do they even implement these kinds of features?

>>571870
..........why are you asking a barely computer literate writefag?

>>571870
Well, as far as the switch from IP to trip it's changing 'post->ip === op->ip' to 'post->trip === op->trip' in their page loop.

They implement it by editing and adding code.

>>571751

I don't want quests on /tg/. So no, not everyone agrees with it.

We're better off staying here. The shitposting is completely gone, and I don't just mean the anti-quest fags. All the completely illiterate posters who don't even know what a quest is and just post lolsorandum XD shit are also gone. The true core and heart of questing is here now, and we've seen that this board can survive on its own over the last several months. This is coming from a quest fan who started reading them with Rubyquest. We're better off here.

>>571742

>>571910
One person out of hundreds thinks quests don't belong on /tg/ so clearly we must listen to the one or two people.

I'm sorry, but you're overruled. /tg/ has been the place for writefagging since the board was made. You don't get to suddenly decide "Well _I_ don't like it, so people should move to accommodate me."

No. I'm sorry. It does not work that way. You've been overruled. /tg/ is a necessity for most quests because of their reliance on RPG and dice rolling mechanics. And /tg/ is the only place that still gets active and new users.

No one is going to come to a quest board to play a quest when most people don't even know what a quest is in the first place.

I'm sorry that people aren't appreciative of a mod fucking up the majority of writefags on the board that was meant for pen and paper writefaggin'.

>>570487
3 day bump limit is needed

5 threads at once is fair

>>571923
>He agrees with me, so he's reasonable!

No. You've been overruled too. You don't get to suddenly decide that everyone is being unreasonable based on a decision they didn't want on a board no one ever asked for.

If anything, demanding that everyone must be unreasonable because they don't want to be stuck in the containment board makes yourself unreasonable.

>>571910
Also I wanted to ask, you say you've been reading since ruby quest

Which ones have you read since then. Go on, I want to hear.

Because you see, the fact that you admit that /tg/ has been a haven for quests since the days of rubyquests (That was almost ten years ago, just so you know) means that quests are as inherently /tg/ as anything else on that board.

>No. I'm sorry. It does not work that way. You've been overruled.

4chan is not a democracy. Moreover, just because a lot of people think one thing does not mean they are correct.

>And /tg/ is the only place that still gets active and new users.

/qst/ gets enough. Like all boards, even the tiny ones like /po/, it still gets enough traffic to grow.

>No one is going to come to a quest board to play a quest when most people don't even know what a quest is in the first place.

Knowledge is unnecessary. People can look at the first page and immediately understand what quests are. That is the beauty of having this board be nothing but quests. The people who would not click on /qst/ in the first place are the kind of people who wouldn't have even gone to /tg/ in the first place. They're a nonfactor.

>I'm sorry that people aren't appreciative of a mod fucking up the majority of writefags on the board that was meant for pen and paper writefaggin'.

Questing is not writefagging.

Hiro keeps saying for us to make mode regulations. Okay let's do that.

> Communicate more

> Create a thread once a week on to how to fix qst while allowing the other fix qst threads to stay up

>>571948
>Questing is not writefagging.

I have never
in my entire fucking life

heard something so stupid.

I'm serious.
Have you even clicked on a quest thread before that was not Ruby?

Most quests are writefagging. Most quests follow a general story structure with characters, places, people. It's writefagging by very definition.

By making such a dumb statement, I'm going to hazard a guess that you have no idea what a quest looks like. Or if you do, it's some bizarre exception to the rule like EFG's drawquests on 2008 era /b/.

>4chan is not a democracy.
Which is why Hiro should overrule the mods and restore some sense of order to the community.

Thanks for proving my point.

>/qst/ gets enough
We're losing more than we're getting. Compare April traffic to now. We've gone down.

Screaming "QUESTING IS NOT WRITEFAGGING PLEASE IGNORE THAT IT FOLLOWS CLASSIC STORY STRUCTURE!" pretty much is a solid tell that you're one of the faggots who ran all the writefags off of /tg/. We used to have a vibrant community of fiction writers from all walks of life writing about anything.
Where are they now? Who knows, their memory only exists in images from 2010-2012 era /tg/ where people just like yourself went "Fuck off with this shit, reported". Until all of them went away. Because back then, you hated them just as badly as you hate quests now.

You're actively trying to kill /tg/ and you don't even know it.

>>571948
..........do you not know that the writefags were also largely chased off? There is a bi-weekly storytime thread, but that isn't even writefagging anymore, and is slower than hell because the majority of writefags were chased off before /qst/ was ever made.

>>571963
>>Ban threads talking about the board

>>570135
Most of this board is full of rotting dead quests and I lost at least half of my playerbase when I was forced to move over. I endorse deleting the board there isn't enough content to facilitate an entire fucking board devoted to quests.

Its shit. The only thing i like is the larger post size but its not worth it with the other problems. I am barely hanging on solely due to a good fanbase even though it got butchered and there is virtually no new blood which blows big time. At this rate I'll be forced to move to anonkun and I don't want to deal with all the smutfags that entails. If I wanted to write fapfic I would be a literotica writer.

Yes.

>>571948
Just for comparison because you may genuinely not know what a modern quest looks like that doesn't start with a stick figure taking a shit:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=princess+guard

This is princess guard quest. It's twice as long as War and Peace.

You can take your "Quests are not writefagging" to wherever you came from, now.

>>571987
It's not the mods fault that your players are too petty to follow you to /qst/.

>>571999
Oh, you're one of the "questplayers are shittign up /tg/" idiots.

They don't have to - /tg/ shits itself up just fine without help. Your imaginary scapegoats aren't causing the trouble you caused yourselves.

>>571939

>Which ones have you read since then. Go on, I want to hear.

Yeah sure, that way you can measure your e-peen against mine like it's some sort of contest.

>Because you see, the fact that you admit that /tg/ has been a haven for quests since the days of rubyquests (That was almost ten years ago, just so you know) means that quests are as inherently /tg/ as anything else on that board.

/tg/ is not a haven for quests. It never was. Just because mod policy at one point pushed them all onto /tg/ does not mean /tg/ is a special home for them. /tg/ also used to function as a NSFW board despite being a blue board. This is not the first change in moderation policy to affect it, and it I doubt it will be the last. The fact that quests have received their own board is proof that it has become a legitimate part of 4chan culture, and no longer has to be treated like herding cattle into a pen.

In my opinion, this was not only the best course for questing, it was the only one questing could have ever taken in the long run. This was inevitable. It's best if we just accept it and move on, much like the ERP threads, and much like /wst/. It's a hell of a lot better than those dark days when /qtg/ was banned. That being said, it's not perfect and I agree with every suggestion for improvements that could be made to this board, including allowing NSFW quests. Letting quests go back to /tg/, however, would not be an improvement.

>>571999
Not him, but maybe it's because most of them were /tg/ posters and not /qst/ posters?

Maybe it's because the only reason they caught his quest is because they were up at the same time as it was up on /tg/, and they just hopped in to have a look?

This is how I followed a bunch of quests. The QM just happened to run at the same time I was awake, and I got hooked. Why would they go to a board they have no interest in for this one piece of entertainment that they may not even be aware is still being made?

>>572009
>much like the ERP threads, and much like /wst/
You mean die quietly and vanish into the ether?

And you wonder why there are no writefags to give /tg/ any content.

>>572009
>and no longer has to be treated like herding cattle into a pen.
Except that is EXACTLY what the creation of /qst/ was.

>>572009
>/tg/ is not a haven for quests. It never was.
It was for 4 years, then moot made it official and moved every quest to /tg/, then all those quests moved back, then 4 more years passed, and here we are.
/tg/ was the home of quests for almost a decade, and the official home of quests for half of that time, and nothing you can say will change that.

I want to know that your definition of "quest" isn't the /b/-era stick figure 'trapped in room what do'. Because if it is, then your knowledge of it is far too outdated to be relevant now.

Most quests now are huge novellas. Novellas that people write on a whim and do it for the joy of writing. The fact that you're on the quest board and you're too lazy to click the front page and click one of many quests to find this out yourself is testament that you don't belong here and you don't care about the medium. You're just here to piss on us because we don't want to be in the concentration camp anymore.

>/tg/ is not a haven for quests. It never was

It was for ten fucking years you dumb loser. There were quests on /tg/ a month after /tg/ became the Warhammer containment board. But don't let that stop your ignorant complaining.

The great thing about those days is that there were also quests on /a/, on /v/, on /b/. There were quests everywhere. On every board. The fact that you somehow think /tg/ is excluded from that "because I say so" just makes you look like a dumb newfag.

Okay, so let's make a big assumption here and *assume* you're on the level. Questing IS writefagging, it's just a form of writefagging that runs on a time limit and requires improvisational skills. It's essentially writefagging on hard mode crossed with public speaking.

As for questions of "democracy" or right and wrong, Hiromoot has literally come down from his faggot throne and told us to come up with some rules. And as for who's "correct", just because a mod did something doesn't mean he didn't exceed his authority, that what he did was in the best interests of the community, that it'll be permanent, or that he was "right". Since there's been no communication about it, we don't fucking know anything about who did this, why they did it, or whether they had permission to do it.

As for participation, it takes DAYS for a permasaged thread to fall off the board even with an influx of QMs from /tg/. There's not nearly enough traffic to fill a board: by my count even with necros most threads seem to stall out around page 4, because that's the most traffic we can muster within a 24 hour period. If threads died as quickly as they do on /tg/ we would probably have less than three full pages at any given time.

New players don't necessarily post in multiple threads: some do, but not nearly enough to float most new QMs on the board. And because /tg/ is a board about, among other things, roleplaying? We never had that problem before, because every /tg/ poster is a potential quest player if something strikes their fancy. /qst/ is something you have to know about, and make a conscious effort to browse, of course it'll never get the same amount of new traffic. It's just common fucking sense.

/qst/ is a place where the mod could shove questing and let it live itself to death. To peter out slowly until all the "big names" have moved on and interest has dwindled to the point it's not even worth keeping open.

Akun isn't that bad...
You do have full on smutquests, but most of them are more like normal quests with a dash of smut.
Plus chaste quests do work there. You don't have to write smut, and thanks to tags your (new) players will know this.

>>572036
Yeah, because I care about the medium enough to want it to thrive. People who randomly pick up quests on /tg/ probably aren't even aware the transition happened. They just want fun content.

Let's say the CYOAs and SS13 general in /tg/ moved to /trash/. you would lose a lot more people than half. Most people would drop the thread and just walk away. Why you suddenly decide that quests need to retain *all* of their players when almost all of our players were /tg/ posters first is baffling.

>Most quests are writefagging. Most quests follow a general story structure with characters, places, people. It's writefagging by very definition.

Questing obviously involves writing among other things, but it is definitely not writefagging. I've never seen anyone try to argue that it is, until now. Also - not related to that - I know you're desperate to prove your point to Hiro, but you argue like a teenager. Or worse, someone from GameFAQs. Have some dignity.

>Which is why Hiro should overrule the mods and restore some sense of order to the community.

I don't think the mods are here to tyrannize us, I don't think Hiro is here to overrule them, and I'm pretty sure that the community is ordered about as well as usual, that is to say, very little.

>Screaming

I did no such thing.

>one of the faggots who ran all the writefags off of /tg/.

Writefagging was never run off from /tg/. Wednesday writefag threads still exist, albeit lethargic and quick to die. There are regular writefags who post in many of the generals, like the Star Wars general, for one. The interest in non-smut has become minor, and as far as smut writefagging, /wst/ was pushed to /d/. That's all.

>You're actively trying to kill /tg/ and you don't even know it.

You are delusional if you think /tg/ was ever reliant on writefagging or quests to be /tg/. /tg/ existed long before both of those things, and it continues to exist without them.

>>571997
>It's twice as long as War and Peace.

hm, makes me wonder how big fallout:mg is compared to other famous books

I'm a QM.

I got EXILED to /qst/.

There's a slight difference in how it feels to be asked to leave, to actually participate in a trial run, to point out 'yes it's okay but it won't work' and then be exiled.

Am I bitter? Of course. Am I shitposting on /tg/? No, because I love RPGs and don't want to be part of the problem.

/qst/ is a place to force quests to die. The fact that you can't actually understand why that is the case is a problem for me, because if you can't see it, how can I get a mod to see it when they give less of a shit than you do?

>>572075

It's a dungeon, there' a man in front of it with a lantern lookign at the door.

But yeah a little too much prison humor there, mod.

>>572070
>dat backtracking

>IT'S NOT WRITING BECAUSE *REASONS*

No, fuck off. It's writefagging. It's writing original content in the vein of fictional fantasy on /tg/.

There is no one who has ever *not* argued that it's writefagging. Quest Masters on 2013 /tg/ were critiquing each other's write fagging in the /qtg/'s of old.

The very fact you question this is proof that you really never gave a shit until maybe a month ago. You are a disingenuous liar. Go away.

>>572075
godfuckingdamnit, why does best girl never fucking win?

>>572070
>Writefagging was never run off from /tg/. Wednesday writefag threads still exist, albeit lethargic and quick to die
That tells me that the writefags have left for places where they are tolerated and appreciated.

You don't get worldbuilding threads that work anymore, you get some hopeful person samefagging the thread to keep it alive. No writefags.

You get lots of oneline idea threads. Unless they're troll bait they die off quickly, because, no writefags.

Your very statement proves that writefags have been driven off.

I think I just got shadowbanned from /qa/. Every post I try to make there results in a connection error.

>>572094
I think the two of you are operating under different definitions of what writefaggin is.

In your defense however, I believe the definition you are arguing under is much less arbitrary and therefore more correct.

>>572078
Reread your own post. Look how dramatic you're being. This whole thing is ridiculous. Good quests still run and get players. If any QM or player is thin skinned enough to get butthurt about being out on a new board then you probably shouldn't be using the Internet at all.

>>572107
Which posts were yours?

>>572012

>You mean die quietly and vanish into the ether?

ERP generals still exist on /soc/, and /wst/ is now /efg/ on /d/.

>And you wonder why there are no writefags to give /tg/ any content.

/tg/ has plenty of content. Writefagging was never the bulk of /tg/'s content. There are even writefags, writefagging, if you care to look for it.

>>572015

Regardless of how you choose to interpret the act, quests did not have a board all to themselves before this.

>>572023
>>572030

This is why I'm not even going to bother.

>>572031

>I want to know that your definition of "quest" isn't the /b/-era stick figure 'trapped in room what do'. Because if it is, then your knowledge of it is far too outdated to be relevant now.

In other words, you're looking for an excuse to disregard everything I'm saying rather than actually engaging with me. I recommend you just stop replying if that's really what you want.

>It was for ten fucking years you dumb loser. There were quests on /tg/ a month after /tg/ became the Warhammer containment board. But don't let that stop your ignorant complaining.

A corral is not a haven, and quests being on /tg/ early on does not mean they belong there. As I've pointed out before, early /tg/ was all about NSFW, but that changed explosively. Board culture, age, etc. do not qualify something to remain on a board anymore, not on /tg/.

But sure, continue to call me bad names if it makes you feel like a bigger man. I don't think it's going to help convince Hiro to listen to what you have to say.

hey guys. just a btw. I made a thread in /qst/ specifically and only to regulate the mods.

It was deleted in 5 minutes.

Pic is the thread

>>572113
Thin skinned would be bawling at the mods and screamign at /tg/. I'be been on more boards than just 4chan, and I have a pretty realistic view of how these things work. Time will see which one of us is right.

I wish it could be you.

It won't be. It never has been in the history of the internet..

>>572117
>In other words, you're looking for an excuse to disregard everything I'm saying

You buffoon, I'm looking for a reason to take anything you say seriously.

You're just as pathetic as the moderation.

"I KNOW ABOUT QUESTS, I PLAYED RUBY QUEST EIGHT YEARS AGO, I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT A MODERN QUEST PLAYER WOULD WANT!" Pathetic.

Want to go call jet pilots braindead losers next, because you once had an RC airplane in kindergarten? Because that's the equivalence you're bringing up.

You're saying that you haven't played anything in ten fucking years and that somehow makes you qualified to speak on behalf of hundreds of people, today. You're a fraud.

Also yes, I changed my IP because I thought maybe that would help post in the /qa/ thread.

>>572117
>572023

Uh huh.

>>572130

You realize that's the purpose of this thread right

>>572136
Nah, it's a 4chan-wide error, don't worry.

>>572143
>4chan wide error
>When Hiro tells the mods to be good

Rightttt

>>572117
Continuing, because I feel something else you said needs addressing:
>A corral is not a haven, and quests being on /tg/ early on does not mean they belong there.

A corral is actually the definition of a haven. It's a haven you keep livestock in.

>Board culture, age, etc. do not qualify something to remain on a board anymore, not on /tg/.

And you do?
See, this is the problem. There are hundreds of people who post on /tg/ who say that it has and always will be /tg/ related.

People against it? Some losers running victory laps because a single moderator agreed with them.

People who have never been more numerous than one or two people in any thread.

I've never seen a thread for the idea that had more than five people who believed it was a good idea. They were always drowned out by the masses of voices who think its the worst idea ever.

Great job.
You're once again proving why this entire stint was a stupid idea.

>>572142
Sure - but I could be in /qa/ and other threads for it. I'm pointing out some basic logic errors people are commiting about how things were and are now. Writefags vanishing off /tg/, the fact that /qst/ is self sustaining, and other nonsense are just that - nonsense.
You see, the flaw in your reasoning that /qst/ is self sustainign comes back to one vital fact. The board takes up server space. Currently, it appears that the board is alive only because of the 3 day autosage, that still gives threads a good 8-10 days to drop off. Remove that, and the board ceases to look alive at all.

That's server space that could be taken up by active threads and boards. After all, it's not a lively board. No one will miss it. No one misses what's on it now, after all, according to the loudest and most irritating people in /qa/, tg/ and, why, here of course.

So what's the loss of 200 people postign on /qst/ (and that's a very high estimate) if you can make something /trash 2/ or /blacked/ or /sjw/ that will get a nice strong readerbase??
