also realistically what's the worst that can happen on an 18+ site, someone writes smth gross involving a kid that isn't real so u ban them and delete the content?

seems like a flimsy reason to ban the other 99.5% of your memberbase from playing characters.

Actually, something did happen, granted it was on a RL site, but this person actively wrote a gr00mer, played out the very disgusting scenario with their friends, and went on to defend their writing as "artistic creativity". I'm not kidding you. Even after the RPC (rightfully so) had decided to distance themselves from this person for their gross misconduct, they decide to write a full manifesto complaining about how their fantasies were being wrongly judged and limited because "it's just fiction".

So no, it's not a flimsy reason, especially when I have seen it firsthand what the worst can actually happen.

Also consider: Jcink Premium allowing members to write 18+ content (to a certain degree) can also contribute to the "no characters under 18" rule because realistically, if you're allowing mature content on your forum, you shouldn't have child characters actively being played, because there will be people acting in bad faith and will cross that line even if you want to believe 99% of your members won't.

Thank you! Our server has reached maximum beta testing capacity. Stay tuned for the official opening!

ninelie this is late whoops
its likely a network issue. i also get the black boxes on chrome; this seems to be during when chrome is painting / recalculating the style of the site. i think(?) what's likely happening is that chrome asks for all the resources (i.e. fonts, images) first and *then* does the painting. this is going off of what chrome performance tab suggests, but the paint is not the thing that's taking a ton of time; its the load of resources - so perhaps the painting is actually waiting for some of those resources? safari & firefox also tend to be more optimised so maybe that would explain why it works fine there

["recalculate style" is actually just a bunch of requests for resources. the entries after that is the actual painting i believe]

the other maybe a little more weird possibility is that the transition style rendering is getting stuck somehow?

I think this is it. Some days the site loads fine, some days I get the weird black screen tear. I went ahead and uninstalled Chrome, and did a fresh install and it seems to have fixed the problem for now. 

Honestly no idea why it happened in the first place, but the how explains a lot! Thanks!

Sometimes there's that Inception/Hans Zimmer vuvuzela in the background of some songs and I just automatically perk up when I do hear it

Faruzan's character also annoys me and tbh she just reminds me of a Discount Miku when...I never really got into the Miku craze.

Not that you should hate her any less for what I'm about to say, but I'm pretty sure the Miku reference is intentional since the 'mi' in miHoYo stands for 'Miku'. Just some useless trivia that crossed my mind when reading this post.

Arknights CN releasing Vina Victoria truly manifests "Fate's Saber, the Lion King" energy to completion and I'm here for it.

Hey! That's a really weird bug. I have something similar on my screen but that's cause I use plugins. Can I ask just for some narrowing down, what browser are you using and do you have any plugins that would change anything )styish, force dark mode, etc.? Also is it just pixel? Do you notice this on any other websites and did this accompany a browser update or something? I'm sorry I'm asking 'those' questions but just to narrow down wtf is going on cause that is so weird.

Thanks for the reply! I'm using Google Chrome, and I don't believe it had updated recently. It's only on Pixel that I'm getting this bug, I've tried viewing other Proboards sites and they seem to work fine. I really only have the Adblock plugin installed on my Chrome and I've disabled it as mentioned previously...

I tried using other browsers such as Safari and Firefox and they seem to be fine. Seems like it might be a Google Chrome issue, so I might reach out for support with them to get to the root cause of it. 🥲

Hello, I've been having issues trying to access the site recently, I'm not really sure what's causing this graphical error but it makes it almost impossible to browse the forum. Sometimes I can get it resolved by refreshing a few times, but it's not guaranteed so I either have to refresh 1000x or come back later and hope that the refresh method works again.



It's blacked out after the header and 90% of the site just can't be accessed when it's like this. I want to note that I also have my ad blocker turned off, and it makes no difference.

Thanks in advance.

TIL why my cat still smells so nice (you know that nice kitty smell in their coats?) even though his breath is stanky ass, is because the enzymes in cat saliva neutralizes odors, making them more effective at hunting.

BRB going to huff my cat again.
