Fuck April 1st and fuck anyone who "celebrates" it, you fucking ignorant twats. All Fools Day was not and is not a day for stupid pranks and blatant lies. There is no wit or humor in bullshit. But once a year, every year, the internet gets shat up with garbage from losers who think they're fucking funny. You can't read any news, you can't go to any websites, you can't not lose the game you just lost.

>>52480010
They're giant circlejerks that choke up 90% of the first page.

They also have literally nothing to do with /tg/ besides "hurr playing pretend is a traditional game", along with the fact that almost every single game was "You're playing a cute girl, go do cute girl things."

At first it was cool when artists drew the actions out, but once text became the norm every single slackjawwed idiot started slamming out quests so they can write shitty fapfics with their little gaggle of retards.

>>52480090
Not to mention that the more popular quests often had multiple threads on the front page at the same time.

Like there would be one actual quest thread, one discussion thread for that quest, a suggestions thread and two or three threads from people asking where the quest thread was or when the next quest thread would be posted.

Anyone who things quest threads weren't bad obviously wasn't around back then.

People making quest thread generals to discuss other quest threads was the final nail in the coffin.

It probably would have worked out if people controlled themselves, but then again most questers were /a/-transplants and we all know how rambunctious they can get.

I feel like it's similar to the whole /vg/ debacle: You had a board for a general subject and then you had a bunch of general threads for one very specific topic. The problem is those threads made up a shit ton of the board and people really didn't like it. Given enough whining and complaining a containment board was created in order to put them all in one place.

Really all you have to do is whine hard enough and the mods will make a new board for it so you don't have to see it anymore.
>>
>>52480791
Yeah but by the time the new board was created quests took very little of /tg/.

It was in fact just bitching but it was weird because the 'problem' was at a low and so was the bitching so you have to assume someone new was taken on at a higher level or someone already there had a supped change of heart. I say sudden because the whole thing was rushed and disorganised.

Making an entirely new board was probably the stupidest way to "fix" quests.
Hiroshima could have just increased the maximum number of boards on /tg/, increased bump limit for threads so old threads don't get pushed off, or just enforce a hard limit to how many quest threads could be on the board at any time.

Now instead, we have a board that's DOA and a board that's nothing but the same threads over and over again.

This shit right here is the reason I can't respect the anti-questfag's position. Any time you have to explain why the quests don't belong, you have to resort to this kind of pretense and cherrypicking as if every single quest was Anime Waifu Circlejerk XIV.

It's disingenuous. We both know things like Warhammer Quest existed, but you can't argue honestly, so you have to play up the most annoying quest concept you can imagine, and try to get us to agree to pretend that all quests were like that one you thought up, because that's the only way you can think of to get us on your side.

>Any time you have to explain why the quests don't belong, you have to resort to this kind of pretense and cherrypicking as if every single quest was Anime Waifu Circlejerk XIV.

By the time questing was kicked off, 90% of them had basically devolved into themed variations of Anime Harem Waifu quests. Actually good quality quests were few and far between, and quickly dying out.

Personally, the only quests I really wanted gone were the non-/tg/ ones. Green Lantern Quest and Anime-themed quest #130 should have been pushed to their respective boards.

/qst/ should really have just been a general Forum Gaming board, and been a combined Quest/Risk/Hunger Games board.

Yep. Your hobby is objectively shit and you should be ashamed to even suggest letting quests return to /tg/.

I doubt that. Mostly because I've seen anti-questfags just flat-out make up numbers like that and then get contradicted with screencaps and actual counting, on several occasions. Shitty quests like you describe existed, sure, but by the end I had stopped bothering to filter them because I use the catalog and I realized it didn't make a noticeable difference to me.

Are you a caveman? Nobody worth having on this board has used paged browsing since like 2010.

Generals are worse than quests ever were.

The purges have left /tg/ a boring husk you may as well rename it /mtg/ and be fucking done with it.

Quests were never a problem, even when all board quests were redirected here.

The years of purging have resulted in a massive brain drain. The average IQ of posters here has dropped substantially. This isn't the board I used to know and love.

It's literally the same guy all the time. Nobody else tries to force "anti-questfags" as an insult except him, and you'll even see him in obvious bait/troll/meta threads (probably that he himself started) saying shit like, "a thread died for this" or "Quests got removed but this cancer stays". He keeps trying to force his revisionism of /tg/ history by saying that "quests never were THAT abundant", and even when there's obvious proof to the contrary like in >>52483028 he never provides his own evidence to support his argument.

Best just to ignore him at this point, because no amount of proof or unanimous opinion that making /qst/ was a good thing will sway his stance.

I always get confused when people say "purges" in regards to quests. The word "purge" makes me think of 2010 when there actually were purges killing the board, so I have to take a moment and realize they're actually talking about quests. The purge of quests wasn't a "purge" it was "justice."

I'm not into quests, I just follow the drama sometimes for entertainment. I love angry metathreads.

>>52483460
Don't be such a stupidityfag. Calling someone an anti-questfag isn't an insult, it's a description of their position. On the issue of quests, you're a questfag, an anti-questfag, or a neutralfag. I was the latter, but my position keeps creeping over towards questfaggotry because they seem a bit less prone to dishonesty and cherrypicking.

I don't really get the butthurt over it. I never had problems finding threads pre-/qst/ and had no interest in them beyond occasionally checking out Lego Quest. Even then I mostly catch up on them at thisisnotatrueending. Still with quests thoroughly vanquished and exiled there is plenty of room for STAT ___ threads, magical realm threads (multiple flavors), elf threads, anti-elf threads, and the always popular exact-same-conversation-about-armor-bikinis threads. But those were always happily present anyway. But at least we have room for that one guy who keeps posting thinly veiled threads complaining about faces in the new Mass effect.

I think this anon >>52484140 has the correct analysis of the situation. April Fools Day was the greatest trap of all, tossing us as players in a room with no exits, stuck with each other.

You see the problem with this way of defining it is that everybody hated quest threads who weren't questfags, hence why they're no longer on this board. Hell even questfags don't really like quest threads hence why their board is dead. What exactly are you fighting for, why would high-quality quest threads to suddenly spring into existence on this board that don't already exist on the board specifically set aside for just such threads? Does the creation of quest threads actually require the implicit knowledge that someone, somewhere is pissed off over the fact that the thread exists?

Unlike quests, however, generals only have a finite amount of direct topics and are at least directly related to /tg/.

>>
>>52479954
Funny thing - anime quests were the top-quality ones, with dedicated runners and coherent, well-planned structure. Hell, they still are, because they stand head and shoulders above /qst/ threads.

What really hurts is the rulling that builders are /qst/ and not /tg/ anymore. Those things were literally the best homebrews in existence, with everyone creating a fleshed out faction of their own and making a setting out of them all combined, with interactions and development.

I'd take your complaints a lot more seriously if you could give a simple explanation for why quest threads HAVE to be on /tg/ and can't just be segregated into their own separate board where it doesn't bother other users. Why are you being so entitled? You get given your own special board just for your threads and that just makes you complain more. If they started /-4st/ would they be so ungrateful? Probably.

Not a questfag, but a builderfag. And there is simple reason:
Fresh blood.
/tg/ is a massive, pretty active board, with shitload of people around. Moving all sorts of games (but somehow not CYOAs) to /qst/ pretty much sealed them in a very tight, very small "community", where making a builder now doesn't mean I will have a 50:50 composition of oldfag cheater and newfags with fresh idead. It means I will have 95:5 composition, with oldfag cheater who know each other and their tactics AND a small minority of people who are simply waiting for an update in their quest thread.
And this pretty much defeats the purpose of having builder game in the first place, because you keep playing the same shit with the same people, thus getting stale in no time.

Sure, quests follow different principles, but the fact builders get moved this winter on /qst/ almost killed the whole "genre"

Uh huh. And 50% of /tg/ was quests and every single quest master posted their quests at the same time every day all the time too, I'm sure.

>>52484419
Because with their removal, my completely unrelated type of thread got removed?
Let's make an example within /tg/ boundaries. Imagine that they make a /d&d/ board. You in the meantime play some d20 game. But due to new rulling, all games using d20 are moved to /d&d/.
That's what happend with builders.

>>52484420
A type of strategy game, where you - as the name implies - build. Each player control own faction and makes moves each turn. Basically, a turn-based game played by browser. Depending on rules and game runner can go from very basic, rule light stuff to shit so extensive it's like playing C2C mod for Civ 4 on multiplayer.

I'm just posting screenshots bro, get as angry as you want.

Quests were far too numerous and because of their nature were filled with constant single-sentence posts, so they hung on the front page and knocked off the slower 'archive' threads like gamefinder, drawfag and the more obscure generals fairly commonly, as well as being a big congealed blob of hidden posts if you used a filter. I've posted evidence and if you dont believe it I've said how easy it is to verify.

Go fuck yourself. Quests were not some bastion against /pol/. You fucking twit.
>>
>>52484587
You got me wrong. It's not about those things being related. It's about the big-ass promise how things are going to improve without quests. And for that "improvement", we ended up with massive influx of /pol/ instead.
The relationship between those two is close to none. But the fact what came as the "improvement" makes it even worse than it would be with having just more "wat du" threads or stuff like that.

In 2013-14 I think I was mostly posting in "help me with RPG X" threads. I'm just a role-play-gay. I've thought about playing one of the WH/40k rpgs I just don't care about the setting because I'm American.

Why would I have to do that when these guys >>52484508 >>52484389 already have?

Shouldn't you be busy posting on /qst/ seeing as you love quest threads so much? Why aren't you? Simple question.
>>
>>52484661
we'd probably have

GAS THE JEWS QUEST #140958
DONALD TRUMP QUEST #45863895725

fuck me that is the darkest timeline.
>>
>>52484648
It COULD improve if it was less questshitters.
But instead it was less questsshitters, fuckload of /pol/. So if any improvement happend at all, it was completely negated by the /pol/ influx.

>>52484620
>>52484657
I don't play Pathfinder. Never even read the rules.

>>52484673
yes, but having less quest shitters and more /pol/ is still better than having quest shitters AND /pol/

This is the brightest timeline for /tg/

>>52484661
... which is exactly my point, so? I'm just pointing out that there is no overall visible improvement after removal of the quests, because we've got cancer twice as bad - /pol/ crossposting.

>>52484668
Maybe because I never took part in any quest? Why do you assume that if I find removal of quest wrong means I must be a questfag?

It was wrong, because it opened the big floodgate with massive lettering on it, saying "IF YOU WHINE LONG ENOUGH, YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT". That shit was wrong. That shit was so wrong it's close to suicidal on side of mods.

But aren't you arguing to bring back quests? Arguing quests shouldn't have been removed because /pol/ happened later is like saying "We should not have cured our lung cancer because we got stomach cancer."

Jesus fucking Christ, how many times I need to repeat those things are unrelated? All I'm doing here is pointing out that they've removed quests (yay!) and them /pol/ came in (nay), while the same amount of mods was spread over two boards now (nay).
The relation between those two events is simple: they've removed a small tumor, and then let the multiorgan cancer develop, without any moderating work against it. Two years ago half of /pol/-posting would be gone within 10 minutes. Now those threads tend to last for as long as they autosage due to hitting bump limit or AT LEAST hit 200+ posts

>It was wrong, because it opened the big floodgate with massive lettering on it, saying "IF YOU WHINE LONG ENOUGH, YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT".
Oh no a site's administrators responding to the demands of it's users, how terrible. And what's this, an entire new board created solely for the use of people interested in a fairly small and obscure hobby? What fresh new horrors are this!

You know we used to have worldbuilding threads every day? That lasted for 4 or 5 days with new and useable content? That there used to be people who would write background and legends and lore for your worldbuilding ideas?

>>52484839
Opinions aren't facts. You are making - a pretty wild, if you ask me - assumption that can't be checked. Also, quests require one thing that /pol/ crossposters lack - dedication. Not to shitposting, but to making things that have any other purpose than stirring some shit up. How do you even imagine /pol/tards running a quest? By default it would be against 2/3 of 4chan rules, so they would get booted even if they would actually made their own quest.

>>52484921
No no. Not worldbuilding threads. Builder games. It was a practical exercise in worldbuilding, for sure, since you had 6-14 guys making their own nations and then making actual interactions between them based on the set agendas, so it was a great source of randomly assembled settings that eventually had to be worked out in the same frame and world.

sure they do. but you lost a huge number of posters when you kicked them out for havign badwrongfun.

I only use the catalogue for gauging when certain threads I follow will need a bump and for finding threads I posted in that haven't been on the frontpage in a while.

Originally they were trying to keep them for Thuesdays, but then it simply turned into "whenever someone remembers to make it" until the thread fizzled into nothing within 80 or so posts.
Funny part is - those things were for a while so popular, it turned into a meme outside /tg/, where people were writing stories for pictures shown.

Also, I'm pretty certain Charlotte-fags were semi-responsible with scaring away many storyfags with their obnoxious posting

There, no quests flooding the catalog, so the fags that don't like quests don't have to worry about them, they get to stay on /tg/, meaning that they will get the interest they need to survive, and you don't even need to waste resources making an entirely new board that will die on arrival to boot!

I know you don't care, but here's some actual numbers using actual data and actual dates.
>>
>>52485455
No, and if you aren't retarded, you'll explain why putting a hard limit to how many quests can be active at any time would be a bad idea.

It solves the biggest complaint about quests: that they flood the catalog while also solving the the questfags' biggest complaint: that there isn't enough interest in quests to make an entire board dedicated to them.

All the mods need to do is put up a sticky and keep quests in check
>>
>>52485557
The hard limit is 0
>>
>>52485557
They're not welcome here and you admit they're not even popular on their own dedicated board, why shouldn't they be removed entirely?

Let them go back to play-by-post roleplaying on forums that actually want that sort of thing.
>>
>>52485638
That's a dumb argument to make, since the logical conclusion is to ban anything too small or too big. The vast majority of games get less than one thread a week, if even that, so why do they deserve to be on the board?
>>
>>52485557

Policing this would be a fucking nightmare and you fucking know it.

Plus, amusingly, it would lead to the same problem half you quest autists bitch about about how hard it is to start a new quest.
>>
The actual solution would have been to make properly tagged quests (The vast majority anyway) only bump to page 2 instead of page 1, and improperly tagged quests banned. Boom, done. Page 1 dinosaurs can't see them anymore, everyone else can filter or doesn't care because they've got a catalog.

But it's too late now, the damage is done.

>>52485751
That would still leave 10-30 active squatters shitting up the board, catalog or no.
Removing them entirely was the correct choice.
>>
>>52485823
That's a nice opinion you've got there, but I'm talking about functional solutions. The actual complaint about quests is that they took up page 1. So taking them off of page 1 solves that. They weren't very numerous to begin with, and /tg/ hasn't gotten any slower (The thread closest to falling off at this very moment was last bumped 4 hours and 29 minutes ago), which means the only thing left is that some people don't like them for personal reasons, which is not an actual argument for anything.
>>
>>52485579
>>52485638
Then the only ones who win are the tribalist autists that can't stand other people liking things they don't.
Not only that, but they will be more likely to employ the same "scorched earth" tactic again if they see something else they don't like.
>B-But that won't happen to things if they're /tg/-related!
Tell that to /co/, which has banned not just one, but two /co/-related mediums for similar reasons, and now the same faggots try the same thing with anything else they think gets too popular.

>>52485729
It would be just as easy as policing the board for any other thread that shouldn't be there.
And it would be much easier than creating an entirely new board.
You could combine it with >>52485751 to make it even easier
>Have "quest" on an OP filter
>Monitor how many times it appears
>If it rises above, say, 5 times in catalog, delete the newest thread.
Easy.

Removing them is a perfectly functional solution.

So that's it? Nothing is gonna change? Just fuck them?
>>
>>52485935
Not necessarily, but even if it did change, you can't bring back all the quests that died when they were forced to move. All it would do is unsmug the supposed "winners" of the internet slapfight. It'd be funny, but not productive for anyone involved.

>people are having fun doing something *I* don't like
>RRREEEEEEEE MODSSSS

I was here when warhammer Wednesday was first a thing.

I witnessed the birth of this board, saw it grow, helped do my part to make it flourish.

It isn't about quests, or drawfags, or the smut or the writefags or anything else specifically you dipshits have chased off or called the mods on over the years.

It's the fact that you did it in the first place. You took something pure, and fun, and beautiful, and you RUINED it.

Every single time a group gets chased out, /tg/ gets worse. I've warned you all every time but nobody ever listens.

So enjoy your shitty general threads and creativity about on par with /e/. You've brought it on yourselves you fucking autists.

When all you had to do was ignore the things that don't interest you, instead of sperg about them. If you sort had your way, 40k wouldn't be allowed here anymore because "it's too many threads!" which I legitimately remember dozens of daily shitpost threads about maybe 5/6 years ago.

So congradufuckinglations, you won. You chased out the cheeky smut, the badwrongfun bullshit, the good drawfags, and yes, questfags.

And /tg/ is just a farm of general threads now. Yay. Well done.

I fucking hate you all.
>>
>>52486310
Then leave Felicia, you won't be missed. /tg/ is better than it has been in years with the removal of quests, ERP, and weekend smut.

>>52486310
We didn't drive away the plenty of wonderful drawfags and writefags of old, Nazimod did it pretty much on his own. Questers ran rampant for six years after that. There was little overlap between the two groups.
>>
>>52486415
I already have. There are better avenues to actually talk about gaming.

/tg/ was at its best when it was a board of people with the same or similar hobbies all having fun together.

Now that environment is gone and there isn't much reason to come here, really. The memes suck, there's no creativity left, people are like you, /pol/ infests everything.

I'm only here to see if we merged with anybody.

Stuff like this spices up the board, good to have every now and again. /mlp/ throws the shills and redditfags for a loop, and purges like this weed out the weak. It has happened many times before, and will happen many times since...

>all those delusions

>>52483695
well it was because
>quests were less than 10% of /tg/ so they were never prevalent
>the board has broken dice and other bugs with no fix in sight
>Quests were beneficiated from having people already on the board for something else and them seeing them

"Instead of having 50 threads shitting up the board about 40k, we only have like 5, this is bad because reasons"
>>
>>52486587
the percentage of threads that were quests in the archive is irrelevant, the reasoning why was explained here

>>52484263
get fucking rekt
>>
Wow, I almost thought I was on /v/ with the amount of shitposting.
>>
>>52486849
questfags are almost as bad as /v/
>>
>>52486788
All that actually means is that quests are over represented because there were plenty of quests that got no replies. They're actually a smaller percentage.
>>
>>52486884
Not as bad as their opposition
>>
>>52486893
and its still fucking irrelevant, because quests are garbage
>>
>>52486884
>>52486934

Yep, just like /v/ alright.
>>
>>52486964
And just think

This is the brightest timeline of /tg/
>>
>>52486936
butthurt anti-questfags still exist I see
>>
>>52487105
I still don't get why quests having their own board is bad if they aren't fucking leeches on the parts of /tg/ that are actually good

hint they are leeches
>>
>>52487105
The winners wouldn't be the butthurt ones, you fucking retard
>>
>>52487206
Why is it bad that they are "leeches"?
What exactly are they leeching?

Should worldbuilding threads be banned because they "leech" off of /tg/?
Drawfag threads?
Character art threads?
etc.?
>>
>>52487238
Because worldbuilding, drawfag, and character art threads are actually useful, while Quests just stroke their runner's ego
>>
>>52487249
>Because worldbuilding, drawfag, and character art threads are actually useful,
And quest threads can be useful in providing entertainment for people who might use them.
I've also seen some questfags use quest settings for campaign ideas.

Also, if only "useful" threads were allowed, 4chan wouldn't exist.

>>52487220
and yet they are the ones constantly complaining about others peoples hobbies

>>52487206
well first as I pointed out /qst/ is really buggy
second people like to have other stuff to read in the voting period and that is easier if they are already on a board that has more than quests

If only humanity had invented tab technology while creating internet browsers

They shoulda merged /c/ and /cm/.

and there are filters on 4chan so what is your excuse for hating quest?
>>
>>52484671
Dankest*
>>
>>52487590
I don't, I'm happy they got their own board where they can do what they love together with like minded people.
>>
>>52487590
Filters don't stop quests from taking up 30 threads.
>>
>people are having fun doing something *I* don't like


>>52487673
even if its buggy and inconvenient?
I would prefer have a place that at lest works

>>52487705
and there never were 30 quest threads at same times

and what? does it hurts you that people are having fun on a way that you don't like
>>
>>52487747
it hurts me in that 10-50 threads of the content that the board actually exists for are kept off of the board for quest cancer.

You can keep saying "there were never" all you want but my filters had 50 threads hidden during peak questpocalypse.
>>
>>52487790
keep lying on the internet anon it wont make it true
>>
>>52487828
I'm sorry the facts don't fit your narrative.

No I'm not, fuck off forever.
>>
>>52487864
>facts
anon don't lie
there were never more them 10 threads and you know that is the true
>>
>>52487350
Does your web browser not have tabs?

A shame the thread will die soon, but here's my statistical estimate anyway.

A year ago, 23% of all posts on /tg/ were related to quests and cyoas.
>>
>>52488315
so you are one of the idiots that count CYOA and them says that it all quest fault I see

also post =/= threads
quest threads usually go beyond the bump limit so it's obvious that there were a lot of post
but here >>52486587 you can se the percentage of threads
>>
>>52488430
I'm just glad a quarter of fa/tg/uys found a new accommodating home (assuming, of course, that the average quester posted at the same rate as the rest of us). I lump the small number of threads about cyoa, risk and the like with quests, and while some might disagree with that assessment, it shouldn't affect the total much.
