And you're a subhuman dog. Why don't you go fuck yourself with a rake and learn to mind your betters?

SB is a shit forum with shit mods. Poster there makes death threats against my parents, I report his post to the admins, admins delete his post..... and then warn me for complaining, because "fuck conservatives" apparently. Some time later in another thread I defend the imprisonment of pedophiles for their crimes and get banned for "advocating the genocide of transsexuals", whatever the flying fuck that means. Meanwhile Avernus, Mackey and co. can sit around openly discussing genocide of non-atheists and the only action the mods take there is "Hey maybe you shouldn't say that" at best and agreement at worst.

Spacebattles and it's liberal fuckwits can all die in a fire. Two years of that place have taught me only that there is no compromising with subhuman scum.

Honestly, I'm more of the opinion that SB isn't necessarily the "best." From what threads and stuff have been linked here from that place, I'd call it "a large and grossly overrated" forum. I likely couldn't argue the "biggest" qualifier, since overexposure can increase online populations.

So what would you say is the best fanfiction community? It's not here, because here is dead, and it's not FF.net because there's nothing resembling a quality filter whereas SB at least has a tendency to weed out writers below a certain level/willingness to improve. To my knowledge it's the only site that has that effect on the fics that come out of it.

A good chunk of that likely had to do with the age of the character in question, I believe.

If you do go back and decide to try a reboot or something, avoid that particular topic entirely, and maybe have someone screen updates before you post them to make sure you're not about to cross any lines.
Technically speaking I never bothered to give any of them an age. I just wrote Teenage and have a hard time drawing breasts. To be fair though they are all under 18 even if I never stated it. But again TFF spoils me on letting me be free with my perversions.
I don't remember the exact incident(Something with HomuQuest? Can't recall, it was before my time), but yeah, that would be a big part of it. There's a reason Chibi went out of his way to note that Homura/Mami/Kyoko were 18-ish in his thread, just in case something happened off-screen.

I don't think there is a "best fanfiction community" out there. If there was, I'd like to have known about it before it likely died. Quality of writing and technical improvements are one thing, but those are just the basics for a medium. Improving those don't do a thing when you can't plot out a decent story, or do something so dull that it's technical quality is its only defining characteristic. It does nothing if the people all want to replace the main characters with poorly veiled pastiches of their desires, or with a self-projection onto some other character.

Besides that, in my experience 'reviews' on SB consist of 75% of readers just going "write moar!!!" for twenty pages and doing wild mass guessing about what will happen next, 24% throwing shitfits over inane parts of the story they don't like, swearing they're dropping the fic, but then sticking around in the topic to troll everyone, and 1% actually reading the fic, giving a calculated review, and trying to improve the author's writing skills.

In other words, it's pretty much exactly like every other fanfiction forum out there.

Except they talk way too much. On average any decent story thread has more pointless on topic talking than any Fosfor thread ever did.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of your views, but because you said it in a highly inflammatory manner.

Like so.

Lord Raine was also banned from SB, because he tried to do the same inflammatory shit he does over here. I think he's incapable of stating anything in remotely polite terms.

My one regret is that TFF doesn't have an open door to allow in fresh blood.

Or I would be doing Sakura Quest here and so on.

Heh. That's pretty much the same thing I got permabanned from there for, though IIRC I told one of the transexuals there that he was just a man that had gotten himself mutilated rather than a woman. What was your username over there, out of curiosity?

Also, Squirrelly: Don't make a ban-evasion account on SB unless you've been permabanned, because it a permaban-worthy offense, and they watch to make sure you don't do it. When I did it, a relatively routine week-long ban turned into a permaban, presumably as soon as one of the mods took a look at my IP adress and noticed that it was the same as my original account's.

Any sympathy I may have had for you has instantly disappeared.

SB is still reeling over the whole Beating the Heat Fiasco. That seriously amuses me.

Not sure exactly, It was like last year. AJT and I were working on a Ponyfic that crossed the line twice, and we got warnings over it. Like three days later, that NSFW = Ban warning appeared in CW.
 
#42
Oh yeah, I remember that now. Yeah, SB's mods never seem to have time to actually look into situations that might require their action, they just blanket-ban things and then only enforce said bans when the infraction is made by someone they don't like. How long did it take them to ban hyperion51 again after he flagrantly broke the "do not call for genocide" rule like four or five times?

So really, just suck up to the admins and you can do whatever the hell you want there.

I'm pretty sure you were just hit with a tempban, not a permaban.

From what I recall, the main person to be called out with the nsfw ban thing was actually deviatesfish.

Anyway, can't disagree with any of the bans mentioned in here.

Who, deviatesfish? Yeah, he was. I distinctly remember the moderator calling him "deviantfish" by mistake, and then going back to edit his post after drama ensued.

She was named and shamed pretty horrifically, as in, announcement at the top of everyone's browser stating 'This person is a pervert, don't be like them or we'll ban you' In fact, in the short paragraph where the admin decided to shit on her, he mentioned her as an example to avoid twice.

Pretty disgusting behavior from an admin right there.

I actually remeber that, and yeah I thought it was pretty tasteless at the time. :/

In the end I doubt I'll post on SB again, even if I'll be keeping my account to read the threads I frequent. But sadly I'm lacking a place to vent, as TFF is pretty much dying slowly and lacks CYOA enthusiasts and numbers. Plus after so long here anonymity sort of lost a bit of it's meaning. So for now I'm looking for a forum with decent population or at least good turnover, forgiving or apathetic mods if any, and where CYOA threads won't be immediately vetoed.
Actually, it occurs to me that Elf and Mike's new forum might be another place you might want to go to, especially if you can get some of the SB BROB forum crew to follow you.
