> That makes it interesting in an of itself, doesn't it? an unchanging place of old guard?
does 2017 (or 2016 for the creation of this board) count as something worthy to qualify as old at this point? I mean, the internet makes things feel old pretty fast but still, those are big words in my eyes.
> I havne't looked much through the catalogue yet, is there any threads you'd recommend
pretty much what I haven´t hidden in these two screencaps. I think that the 5 NMAiE generals (the equivalent of the MLP General) should give you an index of the main relevant threads that have been popping up over time as well as some works from the main users.
> yeah something like that, who is CB?
someone who definitely stands out for writing Conversion Bureau stories that have been shared around here. Also, he is the main active user for the /webm/ thread as well as some of the MLP music that he shares around there. His main threads are >>/7485/ and >>/4724/.
By the way, he is the oldest user of this place by a long shot (even close to being an original user when the 8chan migration test occurred) but we had to figure out to his status indirectly, he doesn´t claim that by himself. For the most part, there are some subtleties and indirect puns in order to send a hidden message throughout his posts at times, so he...is Outside this place, IIRC I think that he has a Twibooru profile for his activity in other circles as well as turning into the owner (?) of /8pone/ for keeping it alive to some degree.
> it wasn't so much political, it was the fact that a major chain of gaming media outlets were blackmailing people and taking bribes, including the demand for sex, in order to guarantee good reviews of games, irrespective of if the game was good or not.had very little to do with poltics, but of course the journalists who were caught out decided to make it about politics and started crying about all sorts of unrelated things.
oh boy, corruption and suitcases full of money in order to give those valuable 9s and 10s for unfinished games that wouldn´t get a pass under normal circumstances. Corruption as its finest and that doesn´t surprise me in the slightest. I understand a little bit better why /v/ considers gaming journalism as a job that is more frowned upon than anything else. Just another layer on top of a really messed up industry that focuses on clicks and fast articles (lack of infrastructure and academia except for retro gaming stuff).
> what is the name you go by?
I don´t think that a lurker (who has been pretty much retired from being active in this place for these last couple of years) matters all that much. You´ll instantly figure it out as soon as you begin to delve into this board, anyway.
