Speaking from the perspective of someone that tries to use jc*nk and goes crawling back to pb like they are my toxic ex every time yet fully understands that jc*nk will treat me right (I don't deserve it)




Proboards

> recent posts -- but that feature can now be implemented by jcink thanks to 's lovely coding [here] that is a 1 to 1 of proboards recent posts (viewable hovers, posts neatly lined, etc.)

> Better posting box UI (the writing box is big and the text is significantly clearer & easier to write in)

> Preview (it doesn't always show the code if it's styletags but I like that the screen doesn't reload just for me to view the code)

> Participated button (easy access for the most recent threads which I think is nice)

> clearer/necessary navigation tree

> shows Users logged in over 24 hours without a hard time reset so I can get a good idea of the activity

> User control panel UI is significantly better/clearer/easier to use

> terrible coding - I learnt coding in proboards first and my skills are not transferable in any way

> plugins are entirely reliant on updates - if the maker no longer updates their plugins, you could be screwed

> no R18+ content - TOS will come for you and snap you up, this really does limit roleplay freedom and content depending on your genre and preferences

> You have to change your entire code if they ever decide to implement V6. You have no choice.

> Uncertain future on how the Proboards support are moving forward/if they are at all with their coding/features

Jcink

> Significantly better for coders/you can do so much more

> You don't have to worry about your skin being dismantled into pieces depending on if they want an update

> Support is more responsive to coder/admin needs and communicative

> Terrible control panel. The UI is just really bad. I was overwhelmed and deeply confused.

> User control panel is confusing and hard to navigate

> User posting box has a really small font + small box, it is difficult for me to code/post and I am one of those insane rpers that like to write her posts in the actual onsite posting box (if it disappears it wasn't meant to be). I prefer to write on-site, it just helps more with immersion.

> More diversity in skins (yes, you can do the same things in Proboards but your life will be so much harder)

> More automation available (automated face claims, automated shop purchases, it's so convenient)

> Coding is much easier to transfer from codepen/webmaker etc.




however, at the end of the day, it is about personal preferences. I think the level of vitriol Proboards receive sometimes, while warranted, also ignores a lot of points from the user/rpers side that they might enjoy and wish to see in Jcink.

I feel really burned/disappointed by a lot of new games recently. It feels like they are released in an incomplete/beta state with gamebreaking bugs that should have been caught in QA. Not to mention early access games getting abandoned or having a 1.0 release with lackluster quality and writing. 🥺

I thought that if you attached paper fans to your hands and flapped them hard, you could fly. As far as I was concerned, birds can do that, so why can't I?

sometimes, i wonder if i still enjoy writing, or if i am going through the motions because it's one of my longest standing hobbies

i do enjoy it, but it's hard not to reminisce about the older days and how i used to be able to write. i'm glad i'm getting back into it, but i still wonder when i'm going to put it down

i wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them
For every slump there will be a rise! Sometimes you need to know that you can survive and live just fine without roleplaying/writing to be able to come back renewed. If you feel like you're going through the motions, perhaps it's a good time to step back and enjoy other things before coming back (if you're ready).
