Fireside chat

So, rather than just making a blog to whine about it whenever I get banned, I'm going to go outside that box today and write on some different things.

I'm just going to summarize a few posts I've read over the past few weeks on 99chan.

One of the things that makes our imageboard better is the posts, or rather the lack of. People on 99chan tend not to post when it's not needed, and when they do, they usually make an extra effort to make any bad thread viable.

Someone on /b/ a few weeks posted a thread telling people to stop putting "Hey /b/" or some variation of that into their thread. I concur, it seems retarded when posted over and over again.

I lost count how many times I've been banned (some alternative points to be made)

You have been banned from posting on /b/, /ask/ for the following reason:

Ban reason for /b/: What has the fact that this isn't 4chan got to do with the OP returning from Tehran? Also, I'm interested in the subject, so obviously some people do care. 
Ban reason for /ask/: This is /r/ material, sorry.

Your ban was placed on July 1, 2009, 6:08 am, and will expire on July 4, 2009, 6:08 am.

The reason I called that thread out on /b/ for being 4chan-esque, is because frankly it is a 4chan type thread.  First of all that nigger had no proof that he had actually been in Iran, which makes whoever banned me gullible as hell.  Overall I was just sick of hearing about Iran, not specifically on 99chan, but in the media in general.  I hate when I turn on the TV and they call it "The Twitter revolution", and I guess that was just tipping me to the point that I didn't care anymore.  The style the thread was posted in was what made me call it out on being 4chan.  The OP said "Just got home from Tehran. Ask an election protest survivor anything." Now, maybe if the thread was composed differently, rather than putting it into the generic template "Ask a ____ anything", which started becoming a very popular to start off threads on 4chan about a year ago.  OP could have at least been more informative of his experiences, if in fact he was actually in Iran, which he wasn't.

Then onto my banning from /ask/.  First of all, I don't know what the fuck is going on with that board, but in the last few days there've been about 10 new threads, which confuses me.  Usually thats about the max for an entire week.

I was also somewhat disgruntled by this post:

Alright, /ask/. 
I need to know. 
How do I shaved pubes? 
Just like shaving my face, or what? 
I am at a total loss here. 
Pic related, I don't know what the fuck.

How do I shaved pubes?  Com'on, thats fucking I can haz cheeseburger syntax.  Not to mention it was a completly retarded topic to begin with.

Onto my ban.  I accept it, but I feel the time frame is inadequate given the nature of the reason for my ban.  I don't even think I should have been banned.  It was enough that the thread was deleted for being wrongly posted in /ask/.

Whatever, guess I'm posting on /regs/.  I don't really understand that board anyways, it doesn't suck, there have been a few good discussions.  I really like the thread about the security guy that works in the hospital.

Also,

I don't know why you don't make /mu/ visable.  You want to use it to share music?  It would be much more useful if you revoked the ability to post mp3's, as many people are retarded to the point that they don't read the front page and wrongly post music discussion in a Meta board.

Alternatively, you could put at the top of the page "Do not post music licenced in USA", or something like that.  Then the board would turn into japanophile garbage though.  Huh.

Old news

This happens to me a lot.  I knew it was comming this time, though.

I reported a bunch of boarderline shit posts on /b/ a few hours ago and I suppose this was inevitable.

Oh well.

Seriously though.  Anti-sage?  You should ban that faggot.

/regs/

So, the 99chan /b/ is being split into one that allows bullshit and one that doesn't? I realize that /regs/ is just getting off the ground, but it's sucking pretty hard so far.

Didn't 7chan do this a short while after it was resurrected and 78/99chan came into existence? I wasn't there to see how the 7chan experiment went, but it probably sucked.

Let me predict the end of this board, in lets say, two weeks or less. Probably in a time frame resembling that of the former /incognito/.


Also, if anyone with power reads this, change the default theme back to nigrachan again...

Shoop

Lets add this word to the list of annoying chan terms.  I was just looking at some thread on 99 with that 2 headed sister sucking off some guy and I swear the next 10 replies all said "shoop".

I don't really know, but isn't "shoop" in some way connected to that old encyclopedia dramatica shit Shoop da whoop?  

Banned...again. (with discussion on tripcodes on 99chan)

I don't feel like appealing this.

Ironically I received this message trying to report a post.

I guess I'm just feeling a little disenfranchised ever since 4chan went down and all those faggots started posting at 99chan.  I know it isn't that bad, but I just feel a bit oddly about it.  Maybe by the time my ban is over the /b/ board will have cleared up a little.

 

Also, why are there so many tripfags on 99chan?  I see two new ones pop up every day.  I recall Casanova writing on /docta/ once that this isn't inherent that everyone posts with a trip.  I can see trying to make a name for yourself, like users like VoxxenFAIL have (even if they get annoying sometimes) but most of the people using tripcodes only use them maybe once or twice and I never see them posting again.

"the chans"

This term bothers me too.

I hate it, its essentially an umbrella term used by 7 and 4channers to pool every imageboard into one mass collective.

SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

I hate when people say things like "butthurt".  That should be a permaban.  I only saw anyone on 99 use that word probably 5 times since its inception.

Grammar and Writing

The worst thing that can happen to 99chan would be otherchanners ruining our well spoken replies and fantastic grammar.

hopefuly all these crappy posts will disapere

Another type of post I hate is, for for example, "What is your favorite... ", these are usually good with a non shitty userbase, but if you get into people that don't explain why, then you get simple, one worded replies that don't really contribute anything.  

I HATE posts like this.

How the fuck do I move to England? I want to GTFO America, after realizing how fucking terrible it really is here. Our health care is shit, our economy is shit, and everything here is miserable. 

How can I get a job over seas if I can't make it to interviews etc.? Anyone done this? Sorry if I seem like an idiot, I'm 18 and don't know much about government or anything yet. 

I would REALLY love to move to France, but I don't really want to invest in the effort to learn the language. I've been to England and felt very peaceful and calm there. 

Anyways, thanks for the help if you guys give it!

America sux, hurf durf.  I know America sucks because I have the DL on everywhere else in the entire world.  Stoopd America hahah.

Connect

This is just another blog about loathing and how I'm having trouble feeling a connection to 99chan.

Maybe it's just because I haven't been on as much lately, but I just feel very disconnected from the board. I remember probably up until a few months ago all I ever did was go on 99chan; this was part of my daily life for close to a year.

Maybe the posts aren't getting worse and I'm just being a sack of potatoes.

Oh well, it's still the best thing out there. I will use 4chan on occasion for specialty boards, but usually only for a quick answer. Even when I do post there, the replies are genuinely retarded, which is why I'd rather post on 99chan.


Whatever.

In other news I went on Digg today. God damn I hate Digg. HURRRRR MARIJUANEE AND FUNNAY RE: PICTURES

fags

What happened to 99chan?

Uh, I haven't been online in a few days.

Was that unexpected or did someone post about it first? 


Anh, whatever that website was ruining my life anyways.

I'm having a hard time identifying with other boards

I was just visiting the Overchan, looking through boards.

As I browse through the massive list of shitty chans it has become apparent to me that I have a hard time posting on sites that aren't 99.

I guess our beloved 99 has too much of a forum feel, too civilized to compare to other chans.  I don't think I clicked on one chan that didn't have some dumbass board like /lolcats/ or /cancer/.  I find that silly.  I don't think I've even had the urge to make a stupid post since I left sites like that behind.  Sites like those typically don't have very large userbases though, so its hard to compare them to bigger sites like 4chan (which has a whole different set of problems).  4chan is actually better than most of these smaller chans due to the fact that they receive many bad posts since people are just trying to get them started, however they don't realize that shitty posts don't really help. 

Nevermind, this is a wall of text.  

I might as well be a mod, they take orders from me anyways

Wait, what website was I at again?

I hate seeing this thread, and I always forget about the hide thread button. I don't understand why no one locked this thread. This topic does have potential for discussion, but the way it was delivered is what gets my goat.

ZZZZZZ

This is a bit off subject, and a wall of text.  Lately I haven't been going on any chan a whole lot.  Maybe I'm just bored with them.  Oh man, House is on and its the episode with the kid that has penis AND vagina, they've had promos on for that all week.  Anyways, 99chan's 500 boards seem to be getting shittier, or maybe its just me.  I started writing a article or whatever you would call it on 'Imageboards in Western Nations', or something like that, but I haven't touched it in about a week.  Anhh, I have a lot of stuff to do in the next 8 or so months, graduating highschool and the transitions included in that (into college) are a fucking ride.  That could be part of the reason I've grown so disenfranchised with the chan community in the past few weeks.  If this is choppy it's because I've been watching House.  

tl;dr

Put it at the begining of your ramble, if not in the subject line.  That way I won't have to read to the end of a post to realize there is a description.

Underage B&

Well, at least it isn't on 99chan anyways.  I know it is on 4chan sometimes, I know of someone who was banned from there /b/ board for it (and consequently fashion, which was the main board they posted on).  Other than that I don't know of anyone who's ever been banned for it.  I can't stand when someone posts, even if they're 16 or 17, and then some moron out of the blue goes HEHEHHGHHURRRRR UNDERAGE B&!

A good percentage of posters are probably underaged anyways.  Maybe that's part of why people like to call them out on it.  Is it fun to try and identify underage posters?

In the end it doesn't really matter if they're underage or not, as long as the contribution to the conversation isn't something fucking retarded.  I guess part of the fear that people might have is that if the userbase becomes younger the conversation might start to loose quality.  People who fit into this category seem to range from 14 or younger up to 17.

We can see this on websites like Rotteneggs.com, posts become mostly about angsty things like anarchy, bomb making, or things you could set on fire.

Where did underage b& ever come from anyways?  Must have been the shown age requirement on some of the 4chan boards.

A new board briefly appears

And that board was /incognito/.  It's still there, but its hidden now (I think).

A sticky reads as follows:

1. All posts on this board are Anonymous. 
2. No ip addresses are logged (meaning you can't be banned). 
3. There are no rules apart from nothing illegal (CP etc) 
4. This is not /b/. 
5. This board has nothing to do with 'Anonymous'. 
6. Don't abuse this board.

This board is a mix of crappy 4chan /b/ style posts and OK posts.  This is basically where people from 4chan end up talking about 4chan.

One poster described it as a /r9k/ of 99chan.  Now I have been to Robot9000, but only to see what it was.  I left 4chan a few months before the board was created.  It seems to be a bunch of posts mostly on religion and relationships and misc content.  /incognito/ is only like /r9k/ in that its a second board created which was intended to be popular (I say this becuase for a night /incognito/ had its own subcatagory in the page directory at the top).  Also it helps that /r9k/ has that rule where if something was posted that you try to post you're banned from posting for longer and longer periods.

This is an important thread:

After a brief browse of the content here I now see the true purpose of this board and the end result of such a social experiment. I'm sure most of you can now appreciate the 'kill with fire' approach the Mods have taken to weak/cancerous content on all other boards. Without any objective purpose to the board it did indeed become /b/. This fact combined with the lack of Moderation has lead to an emulation effect of 4chan /b/. Proving once again the general populous (99chan user base) cannot exist in a state of control without some authoritarian presence; and the impending fear of persecution. 

Another key factor I have established from the evidence available on this board is the definite requirement for some degree of self-governance. This should be a pre-requisite before any project on this scale will succeed. Some basic understanding by the 'old-er' more experienced users that they control the content is required; 'new-er' users should look for guidance from the said people. 

A future hypothesis I propose to the Mods is maybe the prospect of removing moderation from one of the more intellectual boards (albeit temporarily), in order to test the effects of authoritarian rule over a more intellectual cohort. 

Final proposition - if self-governance on a board could be established; why not create a board with a user based voting ban/delete system? (minus ToS/illegal content which the Mods would have to undoubtedly remove) 

Pic related; they're my sentiments on the issue at hand.

Finnaly some intelligence on this board, you have some interesting ideas.I don't agree with the removal of Mods from intellectual boards. Only because they are my safe-haven from mass faggotry, but still... it makes sense. I remember another user in a thread sometimes ago was explaining similar things.

>it did indeed become /b/ 
Says you. Maybe your feeble mind simply hasn't wrapped around the fact that results are still inconclusive and you have no idea what /incognito/ is or what it will become. 

>blah blah blah 99chan user base 
The 99chan user base is dynamic, so even if what you said about the current user base were true, your point wouldn't be worth much in a week. 

>requirement for some degree of self-governance 
Agreed. 

In conclusion, this thread is already an example of a difference between /b/ and /incognito/ because you can post an intelligent criticism of the workings of the moderators without fear of being arbitrarily banned. I don't think /tttm/ even has that.
>> Anonymous 09/01/29(Thu)07:19 No. 696 
are you for or against moderation, I can't even tell. 

votebans I think would go particularly badly on this chan because much of the userbase has adapted to the overmoderation here (you can't deny it, otherwise this board would not exist) by calling for bans due to the slightest infraction against their taste. 

Also emulating 4chan /b/ is not necessarily a bad thing. It would likely work much better here because, well, we aren't fags. The self governance you talk about was a key factor in what made old 4chan 'good', subjective though the term certainly is.

This is a worthwhile experiment. The mods run this place like it's North Korea. Nice to be able to get away from mod Nazis on this board. 

As for it becoming like 4chan's /b/, well it might, but even then it will be superior because at least threads will last longer than 5 minutes.

OP here, 

After reading through some of the responses it seems several of you seem to have had some difficulty in distinguishing whether or not I support Moderation. The reason why you cannot sense the bias is because I have attempted to write the article in a scientifically unbiased manner. 

I only wished to present an objective discussion of what I have seen thus far and propose some addition experimental ideas. I concede as this Anon stated so eloquently >>693, my conclusions are rather premature; this is not the end point of the social experiment (after all the board is only 2 days old). However, in my defense I did not originally state my findings as absolute; they are only relative to the current state of affairs. 

Ergo, I extend a question to those who wish to participate in further discussion: 

"Ideally, where would you personally wish to see the direction of this board go? i.e. content, relevance in relation to the rest of 99chan, wider *chan scope etc." 

Pic unrelated.

/ask/ Needs more regulation

The problem with the /ask/ board lately is that people don't read the sticky.  It says RIGHT FUCKING THERE to take problems pretaining to

"Sex and Relationship questions do not belong here, they belong in: 

http://www.99chan.org/docta/."

Ask is really just a smart version of Yahoo Answers with people that know about things that you would probably have questions about.

My problem though is that there is too much grey area material.  I don't care to see self loathing posts about how you don't want to get out of bed becuase you're depressed and will probably kill yourself becuase of it.  Problems with other family members should also be filed under /docta/.

Though if you need to make a large purchase, it might be good to get an actual credit card (Visa, preferably) as they will fight your corner in the event of some faulty goods, etc. This is because they are equally liable as the supplier, legally! 

Make sure it's a card which allows you to pay the balance in full within x days and incur no interest charges as a result, though.
>> G. Oogleit 09/01/02(Fri)12:13 No. 11683 
Get a debit card, and make sure they forbid you to overdraw you're account. If you think you're good with money, you're not. Especially if you think getting a credit card first is a good idea. 

If you get a credit card, you're not going to make payments, and that will ruin your credit, and you won't be able to get a credit card when you actually have the monetary feasibility and adult mindset to get one.

>"You're not nearly protected with a debit card as you are with a credit card. You can bitch to the credit card company and get things taken care of really easily and there is more consumer protection." 

You must work for a credit card company because that statement has 110% the recommended daily allowance of bullshit. 

Get a debit card and make sure you've always got enough in the account to cover expenses. You don't need a credit card unless you want to make a big payment that you can't afford at the time of the purchase and if if that's the case you probably should think twice about that purchase anyway.

No, I don't. There are better consumer protection laws and more avenues for recourse in case of bad events when using a credit card as compared to a debit card. I'll agree that credit card companies are essentially conniving bastards, but if you're not a fucking moron, you can get a basic card that works for you in your benefit. I don't know what money issues you experienced to make you so vehemently against them, but they are honestly better protection for internet purchases due to many recently passed laws, including several Federal Acts, attention from Congress, etc. Read the laws and fine print... I've read several articles in the media about this subject (do you follow the business news?). They even protect for the oddest things (I can't remember some of the shit mine covers... rent-a-car something and other travel protection). Even some recent actions in the government have addressed bad credit card company policies towards consumers, which was avoidable before, and even more so now. 

Credit card companies use customers as their bread and butter and face liability issues, etc. when their customers use their services. Home equity loans are the bread and butter of banks, not checking accounts and attached debit cards, etc. So, not only with law on consumer's side, credit card companies also have a vested interest in protecting consumers because of their own interest and liabilities. If you pay off your credit card every month, then you do not have to incur interest charges and if you do not have an annual fee, then it is extremely similar to a debit card, but with more protection and recourse. It also helps you in the sense that it allows you to build a positive credit rating. If you are a smart individual who pays their debt in a timely manner, then you are helping yourself with future equity loans, car loans, etc. I've had a single credit card for many years; fixed rate, no annual fee, and a reasonable interest rate and grace period before interest is charged (if I pay it off every month, I never incur any interest or charges). In case of someone obtaining my card, a credit card will deny charges once you reach the limit. A debit card generally has a bank's "Overdrawn Protection," which means you can keep charging as much as you want while getting charged a ridiculous (usually daily) interest rate, overdrawn fee, much more than a credit card would, etc. and it doesn't always stop there. If you receive a faulty product, if you do not have recourse with the manufacturer, you might with the credit card company. Forgiveness of faulty charges are generally much easier with a credit card, because the credit card company has recourse with the business that originally made the charges, while the bank's instant transaction will be harder to overturn or they will be unable to, etc. etc. etc. There's shit on both sides of the fence, but honestly, there is no reason to talk someone out of having a single credit card if they are a smart individual who is prepared, understands the basics, and can handle it. You can essentially treat it like debit card with more protection. If someone can handle a simple calculation of "Incoming cheese and Held cheese minus Expenses and Debt equals $ I have to live off of," then they can handle a credit card. It's an equation of Assets - Liabilities = Left over cheese (which should remain positive + some, or OP should cut up the card, like I also advised). It's a good learning venture. And someone should always start with a starting checking account, anyways, but I'm assuming OP already has as much. He said he wanted one for online purchases, in which a credit card would be ideal for the reasons I listed.

" Federal safeguards 
You do have some federal protections if a thief gets hold of your debit card and goes shopping. 

It's not so bad if you act fast. Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, your liability is capped at $50 if you notify your bank within two business days of finding out your debit card is missing. Wait more than two days and you could lose as much as $500. 

"The liability is frightening," Garman says. "You're liable. You've got two days to do the right thing." 

If you discover an unauthorized charge on a bank statement, you may be on the hook for as much as $500, and that's provided you contact your bank within 60 days. 

If you wait longer than 60 days, you're stuck paying every cent of a thief's spending spree. You could lose everything in your checking and overdraft accounts. 

In 2000, both Visa and MasterCard extended their zero liability protection for credit card customers to debit card customers as well. So in most circumstances, a debit card customer will not pay a penny for unauthorized purchases made over their networks with these debit cards. 

However, these are voluntary measures and could change at any time. Thus far, there is no equivalent law protecting consumers." 

pretty solid information.

Lots of great places in Alberta and housing prices aren't ridiculous there. Anywhere on the coast of BC is quite frankly beautiful, but as such housing and everything else is quite expensive. Montreal is fantastic, especially if you speak french. Toronto is... busy. I don't like it personally. Saskatchewan is flat n shit. I'm not an expert on the eastern provinces of Canada so I don't want to give any input on that.

It does, but you could get a better wage way more easily in Alberta.

Most of the French speakers in Montreal. 
But in it's suburbs and smaller cities, english speaking only peoples are generally considered, um, annoying, or hated. 
Heck, even my boss didn't speak english (part time job in a grocery store, I live in Montreal's subrub.)

if you enjoy the city life, tons of attractions (ROM, sceience centre, CN tower, etc), SPORTS (jays MLB, leafs MHL, Bills NFL, argos CFL, Rock NLL, tfc MLS, etc), and culture (visible minority is becoming the majority now), then come to toronto.

My buddy worked there for over a year, he said that Alberta is great for making money but they have no good beaches. He said the one beach which was considered a hotspot over there was tiny and probably formed by cow piss run-off. Other than that he liked it, mountains were in view at the farm he was working. I still say Alberta is in the top 3 of best places to live in Canada now.. You can get some high-paying jobs there, and there's no nigger bullshit 7% PST like in Saskatchewan or MB or anywhere east thereof. That shit matters BIG TIME when you're making big purchases.

The "good money" you make here gets blown on just surviving. move to the east coast. it is cheap as hell to buy anything there, and they just found oil off the coast of Labrador.

I feel the need to contribute further to the depth of this thread so I'm going to go a little deeper into this. 

I am a student with one year of high school left and I have been thinking of moving to Canada for a while now. I actually have little reason if any at all. Now would it be a good idea for me to pursue higher eduaction while still living in the states? I have no scholarships lined up and my grades are average.

Fool

(Shown is a screenshot of some chan related BS, the furry holocaust shown at the top and a post to the Wikipedia front page showing 4chan as a featured article).

I don't mind the furry thing as much, it's nice to be reminded of where you are from time to time.  I don't want to see it around every corner is what I'm getting at.  Give an inch they take a mile, this is why I don't want to see that on the top of the board.

The 4chan artile isn't really good enough to be a featured article is one thing that pisses me off.  If it wasn't on the internet there is no chance it would be featured).  I am not pissed off about a 4chan article being featured, I'm pissed off becuase this was posted three times before, I posted a simple sage and got banned for a week.  It's not like you can make 4chan anymore popular than it already is.

My problem with 99chan is that I don't really want it to be part of any of the chan mentality.  I want a medium traffic chan without any of the bullshit that other chans go through.  Having imageboard software installed on your website automatically makes you part of this web of 4chan /b/ style garbage (most other boards on 4chan are fine for the most part, with some exceptions).  If you look through any low traffic chan on the overchan listing you will find that most of the boards are filled with bad posts.  It might be that the poster just doesn't see anything so they don't show the ammount of respect that they would otherwise show to a well established board.  I have a feeling people that read this would tell me to join a forum, but I'm too attached to imageboards to go to forums.  Anyone, given the chance would take imageboard over a text forum.  Thats why no one posts on 4chan's text boards.

I don't know how Japanese boards work, but I remember seeing one of them in the j-horror, Suicide Club.  A girl was posting on it to notify the police about updates on why the suicides were taking place.  I couldn't imagine any imageboard having even a minor role in an American film.  Mostly becuase the only one that could be shown would be 4chan.  I can see it now, a film entirely about Will Ferrel being introduced to 4chan's /b/.  Christopher Poole will be invited to the premire and walk the red carpet with costar Sarah Silverman.

If you can tell, the mods don't care/ don't have enough time to care about the room topic.  I was never made to defend my ban.

I got banned, again.

This time it was for "pointless sage".  I'd apeal it but I don't really care anymore.  Maybe this weekend when I get fuckboard and remember that I can't post I'll go into IRC and bitch again.

I don't have pointless sages.

Sometimes I do accidentally become a usermod though, acting like my sage and report options have mod powers.

I was a mod once, on a website called something like smare channel.  Thats not exactly it though.  It was some guy that set up a chan from England I think.  It only lasted about a week, but I got a taste of feeling around what having mod powers is like.

That being said I'd rather not be a mod if it wasn't on my own chan.  I'd probably be delisted for excesive banning like when KTM huffed all that gas (I don't know if he's still a mod or not?).

It's been awhile since that Boxxy shit went down, I still see effects of it though.  People stopped capitalizing sentances, and other minor gramatical errors.  Posts are also getting shorter (which comes with higher traffic).

STAY GOLD

I got banned from 99chan for "4chan".

I'm almost sure this is going to be appealed (I'm in the IRC room for appeals as we speak, pleading my case). I'm just pissed off for the reason my ban was filed. I've been banned from 99chan about 5 other times, I could sit here trying to remember them or I could just tell you they were all short bans with no real consequence. Most of them were for reasonably idiotic reasons too, but that's also why they were appealed.

My ban is a month long, with a chance to appeal in a few days. I'll hopefully bypass that by using IRC.




It's understandable though. I'll relate this to a current event for your enjoyment. Take the current situation with Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip.

Lets say 4chan is Hamas, 99chan is a city in Israel, and bullets are bans. Lets say a Israeli works in a city called Ninechnbee (in the disputed territory of the Gaza Strip). He must travel every day to the dangerous area from Israel. One day he decides to grab some off colour items from the local shop, which could be inturpreted as treasonous. He hopes no one thinks of the items wrong but he knows the possibilitly exists. He enters a checkpoint going out of his city, contorlled by his own people. Unfortunatly they find the materials, and shoot the man.

I'm not getting anywhere in IRC.

Heres what I posted to get banned, with replies.

This bread probably shouldn't be here but I'm going to toast it anyways.

My English class has read Lord of the Flies recently, as well as watched two of the movies (neither really anything spectacular). Now for our project for the end of the semester were supposed to be doing a project with a few other people in our class. I was appointed the duty of finding some music (somewhere around 10-15 minutes) to play as background music for our multimedia presentation. I was also appointed the task of finding various statistics somehow related to the films, say teenage violence.

If anyone has anything relevant to this I wouldn't mind hearing it. For the music I was going to just play the score from the second film, but apparently that's not allowed.

This is a 12th grade English class too, so don't go hurf durf at me. Its not my fault our curriculum is teaching us books that tweens read.

Downtime for unknown reasons

4chan has been experiencing some periodical downtime on the higher traffic boards. I don't really frequent 4chan so what I get is mostly dribble information that has circulated down from some of the higher traffic chan's.

Apparently this is all because of a girl named Boxxy. I went to 7chan a few days ago to check what the fuck was going on. They had one of her videos posted on their /b/ (at the top of the page, not in a sticky). Then I went to 4chan, they had a few posts about her on the front page. Due to the fact that the 4chan mods are so uninvolved in the community, I don't know what's going on. That same day I went to the 4chan status website. The front page was down, along with another subdomain. I wish they would actually update the blog.

How did some dumb cunt who talks like a five year old create this chaos.
