The future of totse?

One of the big issues is that you guys aren't understanding the scope of this site. When RDFRN closed, Lanny opened this with the caveat that he wouldn't be spending a lot of time on it. He said that he works a lot with computers and basically doesn't want to invest a ton of time and resources into this.
I've made it pretty clear that I'd be willing to act as an operations admin and learn whatever programming language or whatever I needed to patch up the issues with the site, make it more secure, and everything else. However I have not heard back from Lanny. In fact, I even have a few ideas as to what would bring a lot of attention to this site. The thing is that it isn't necessarily going to attract anyone who will be worth staying yet because the site has nothing to offer.
It's like Obbe said last year, if we want a good community, we can individually contribute to it instead of complaining about everyone else. If a few hard working individuals do that, you'll have stuff worth reading.
I personally don't believe the old totse community is possible with this site. If I started my own BBS I'm confident that I could build something better within a few years, but it would be heavily moderated in order to work well and most of you guys wouldn't like it.
People with interests in niche subjects end up on heavily moderated forums. Lanny isn't going to invest any time in improving this site, so someone else is going to have to do it if they want it done. -

Let's make him drink a cup of piss. -

No, no. The plot would go that Lanny would offer us his piss, and we would refuse, and then we would sink him in his own pit of self importance. -

LOL nah
Your allcaps 'lol' seems to contradict that statement. -
2016-02-28 at 6:25 PM UTCFor the last time, Totse is long fucking dead, all that's left are a few circlejerks here and there. If you internalized the ideals of totse, you don't need to post about it. This site has nothing to do with totse, just like every other site since totse, just glimpses, but you can find a "totsean" elsewhere if you know what to look for.

2016-02-28 at 7:06 PM UTCSimply because you want it to be that way, and for no other reason other than that one reason.

2016-02-28 at 7:16 PM UTCDo you not have anything, ever, to contribute expect bitching about mods/admins past and present? Try and post in BLTC, Gear Heads, 99 Problems, Bad Ideas, Polticis, AnyThing. I've been on Zokelt/whatever else came after since June of 2012 and all I've ever seen is your, and various alts piss and moan about all the injustices from a fucking message board. And from I hear, that goes back to your Totse days as well.
Grow up, grandpa, and find some way to actually help this fledgling forum. -

Then post about those "niche subjects" (read lame bullshit) or go to those niche forums. Honestly no one here is going to give a shit about your salsa or knives. We may think its cool or appreciate the recipie but if you start posting what some call content no one here is going to care and many will probably just troll your shit or go off on an unrelated tangent. Then how do you propose someone who isnt the owner improve the site? We cant fix the pm's or posts. We cant add pages or fix the buttons that are broken. All we can do is post and chat. Posting "content" isnt going to fix the site because this site isnt about "content". Its about having a good time and doing you. I post about breathing and meditation as well as science, chemistry and other topics. The only ones that really get replies are the ones about something philosophical or just complete random shitposting. I have said it before and ill say it again, by all means post about your interests and your likes but dont expect anyone to care or join in and certianly dont expect it to "fix" the site. -

T&T is pretty good for actual content though tbh fam. But that's because we got an epic team of l33t posters there like LiquidIce, aldra, SBTlauien, Oplus, Lanny(sometimes) and i do what i am able to as far as compsci goes. My l33tness may be modest but it's perpetually expanding, like a dong of infinite arousal.
Which is objectively heterosexual by the way. -
2016-02-28 at 11:08 PM UTCMy magic crystal meth pipe predicts that we will continue to shitpost on broken BBS's indefinitely
-
2016-02-28 at 11:13 PM UTCYour prediction is accurate. Hail the Holy Meth Pipe

This is true but T&T is an outlier in terms of forums with content. I would argue it was inevitable simply because we have so many members that enjoy programming and will contribute to other members projects.

Programming, infosec and a bit of networking but yeah mang. -

And I never insinuated that I was trying to scare you, you paranoid, old kook. -

Spectral has about four go to replies, they include iterations of "You don't scare me, kid", the absolute classic "I didn't fall of the turnip truck yesterday", and who could forget "tl;dr" and something to do with totse traitors. -
