Got a few questions for Holla Forums. One of the question doesn't particularly pertain to vidya and the other does. Since there weren't any boards dedicated to fiction writing figure I post it here.
Woad does Holla Forums think of the game Containment Breach? Honestly curious.Tried to play the game myself but too shit scared to do it.
Also for SCP Foundation site itself; if it matters what do you think about it?
Other urls found in this thread:
Site went to shit when the articles became literal self inserts. Like they just gave a description of themselves and added superpowers.
That? I don't think I heard that. I mean, the articles today are absolutely shit because the site admins set these ridiculously high standards that actually aren't necessary to have and needlessly strict. They also aren't new user friendly too and many of em come off as dicks.
This speaks from experience. Though I could be wrong.
SCP went full sjw a long time ago user.
i recall some user telling the newer SCPs (anything beyonf the first 1000 or so) were kinda tumbl tier
Yes and no. I was a moderator for the site for a year or so, and while you are correct that the content of the site went downhill, the people of the site generally frown upon self-inserts and do what they can to avoid it (even going so far as to only use characters like Bright or Clef in over-the-top stories that are clearly near-parody). Unfortunately, the site does fall prey to nepotism and circlejerking, authors who are popular can get away with a lot more than newbie authors, and it shows. Goofy shit can work in an article if there's some grounding in logic, but too many articles go too far into pure absurdity. It was mostly an attempt to get away from the grimdark edge that newbies were bringing in because of Containment Breach, but I think they went too far.
Also administration for the site was a fucking NIGHTMARE. You either had lazy gits who thought the site was still running on 2008 /x/ rules, or you had SJWs, only a couple of the admins were cool people.
Fuck where was I when this happened?
Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. Recently got into an argument with a lot of them because they were shilling TFA so hard. Saying it was better than the original star wars trilogy.
They seem to shit on Containment Breach the last time I remembered. Though I've knew about the site beforehand, I just felt like containment breach knew what made the first SCPs great in the first place.
A lot of SCPs in Series 2 had a bunch of shit in em. Some good shit in the rough but a lot still shit.
Series 3? It's even shittier. Like god almighty it's like they don't even remember what made it all great in the first place.
Yeah there were some pretty decent admins there. I knew some of them actually left because of how the admins and moderators were acting up. They even completely destroyed this one idea this admin had to shard the site for community purposes.
Aw, what? When was this and what was the plan?
The plan was to shard the site for community benefit. Basically, the canons that we have now, the idea was an evolution of that. But more ambitious, grander than before. Contributors would adhere to the canon with different writing styles based on that particular canon. While it kept the core series intact, it offers more creative freedom when it came to writing, mainly articles. Though I could be wrong about that 2nd to last part but it would had benefited them considering the influx of users they got in the 2014 era of Containment Breach. That and SCP 087 where the Foundation really drew in the crowd.
tl;dr version: There was this plan to make the site better and the community better. It was fucked over because the dick-cheeses shit all over the idea.
Wait a minute, that sounds like an Aelanna idea. Did someone else expand on her original draft?
