Kind of a small thing, but can we please get the picture of the stickied post fucking changed? I'm so sick of Carl Sagan's mug it's such an eyesore... I'd say half a fucking decade is a good enough run for the pic. Please? Mods? Janitor? Does /trv/ even have mods? Just something innocuous like a picture of the Earth would be nice...
>>1252898
Fuck you, anon. Carl Sagan is the shit.
>>1252898
There is a way to request things of the mods.
Protip: Posting it in a thread is not it.
>>1252898
I am indifferent to Carl Sagan's face but agree that the earth would be more in keeping with the theme of the board.
>>1252898
Fuck off faggoo. Carls funny face makes me happy when I come here.
>>1252898
it's comfy
>>1252898
But they should keep the quote in the pic
>>1252898
I have no problems whatsoever with Carl Sagan's mug and I actually like the quote.
However I think the sticky should make it known that your threads should include:
>Budget
>Interests
>Days you are spending
>Maybe your age and something about yourself
I'm just so sick of those OH SHIT GUYS I'M IN BARCELONA WHAT DO I DO threads. /trv/ is a slow board and just including some basic info in the OP would make it so much easier for anons to help and give recs.
Apologies for my poor English

>Sup /trv/, first time traveler, I'm planning to walk on my hands across the continent (backwards) and then hitch a boat ride and move to Japan. How do I get laid on a container ship? What should I do once I get there?
The sticky really needs a list of big no-noes. Right at the top, in all caps, so you can see it from the catalog.
With "FUCKING GOOGLE FIRST" taking the first stop.

>FUCKING GOOGLE FIRST
This so fucking much
It's appalling how little research some people do.
Isn't it time to update the sticky in general? A lot of the stuff on there is totally out-of-date.
Why don't we list the websites should be up there on the sticky and ones that should be take down?
I'd suggest numbeo.com should definitely be up there. It's a cost of living comparison site. We often get people asking how much it costs to live in a particular place. Also the In Your Pocket website is excellent for central and eastern European cities, including nightlife and sex tourism. We often get "in Prague/Berlin/Krakow, wot do?" threads that these guides can answer.
>>1253051
We should probably provide links to PUA sites as well.
>>1253052
Nah save that stuff for /adv/ and the angry MRA on /pol/.
>>1252983
Not going through Afghanistan/Pakistan?

>We should probably provide links to PUA sites as well.
I think pic related pretty much covers it desu
Unrelated but related, I wish TRV was formatted differently. I'd have a map of the world, then you can click on a country and it takes you to threads of that country. The threads would be in order of updated date. I swear to Jeebus it has always felt like every other TRV thread is about Thailand, Barcelona, or Japan.

The last thing 4chan needs is more generals.
>>1252986
If you think google and travel guides work for traveling you might want to travel a little bit more.
>>1253141
Yes, /trv/ works so much better for "Do I need a visa for Japan", "What should I see in 3 days in Rome", "How much does weed cost in the Netherlands". Every Real Travel with decades of experience under his belt knows these are questions that a 5 second Google search absolutely can't be trusted to answer and should be posed to the great 4chan hivemind instead.
What /trv/ needs is to completely ban all sex tourism discussion, no exceptions
/trv/ quality would increase 100x overnight
How about we meet the mods in the middle?
Or maybe this?
>>1253681
Perfect.
>>1253681
/thread
Is this going to be a competition?
>>1253770
fits better for /out
I'm really bad at ps, but you get the idea.
come on, /trv. post something!
bumpin' this motherfucker
>>1253147
Yeah but google actually doesn't always work for those questions. Google doesn't have all the answers, and sometimes it provides bad answers. I'm sorry but it's true.
>>1253066
Why do you want /trv/ to be like every other travel forum? There are plenty of other forums where you can get that format, and imo they aren't nearly as good.
