wizchan is my favorite imageboard but it's kind of slow, so I only come here about once a week and spend about 1-2 hours reading everything I missed or maybe reading some old threads. Sometimes I even forget it for a month or so, then come back and spend like 4 hours reading everything and it's very comfy.
It's pretty slow so I only come here a few times a week, I often see interesting threads and forget I read them almost a year ago. I might update my topic that Imade, about surveys, maybe once a week or so. But wizzies, don't really like me doing that.
>>184087 stick around for a while and you will soon find other boards are much too fast. It is slow here even for wizchan lately so make some threads worth making and posts worth reading.
>>184024 >wizchan is my favorite imageboard but it's kind of slow >how often do you come here? Once a day but I don't post here anymore. There's no point trying to post because you either get bullied or ignored. I'm sorry to hear it's your favorite imageboard because it's trash.
>>184091 Where did you get bullied? I admit I encountered some tru-wiz wizzier than thou larpers which also pushed me away from this imageboard, but there's one good way to find interesting threads and posters - long, properly formatted replies.
I come here at least once a week. Frankly it's a habit I want to kick, but this place one of the less psychologically controlled spaces. Just wanting a new viewpoint, something else other than the ordained without following through on a book
As to why I want to kick the habit, long-form posting requires at least one of the following conditions a) Capable enough to elaborate but too deprived to see the futility b) Desire to waste time by at least expressing yourself, even if you know you won't accomplish anything, for practice c) Has nowhere nor no one left to engage, or terrified of the consequences of developing relationships, so settles for the bottom barrel that sometimes has a broken perfume bottle in it
I don't know how to fix it, but I know this isn't the solution. Books probably are the solution
>>184104 …I wonder what would happen if wizardchan had something like a /longform/ board. Where each post had to be at least 1000 characters long or something.
Nearly every day, several times a day. Sometimes I take a few days off, especially if I am not feeling well or really busy, but it's just become part of my daily habits to visit and post here.
>>184105 >>184110 >>184112 Let's say you created this longform board and herded people into it. And?
1. It trivializes the abused, as though the issue were simply the length of posts. 2. It further excludes the excluded, isolating them on a containment board and restricting them to writing longform posts. Why can't they write how they want? 3. It entrenches the power relation between the abuser and the abused, because the abuser can simply say fuck off to your containment board.
Have you noticed what hasn't been addressed? The abusers themselves. Really makes you think.
>>184117 You'd think so, but a lot of times when weird limitations like that are imposed, it kind of oddly self-regulates the kind of crowd you want. >>184119 >Have you noticed what hasn't been addressed? The abusers themselves. Really makes you think. It's a tale as old as time. Cities don't get rid of their homeless problem by improving the situation, they get rid of their homeless problem by moving themselves elsewhere or moving the homeless elsewhere.
Daily, morning, noon and night. Ridiculous as it sounds, here is the only place I feel comfortable, even with all 4tourists and normans. When wizchan shuts down for good, I'll be as lost as a headless chicken.
About once a week, checking in for an hour or so. Threads are generally too slow, and the board that caters directly to my core interests (/jp/) is populated only by a few loud annoying children that I want nothing to do with. I'd have to be incredibly desperate to suffer them, and so I resolve myself to a casual site experience.
>>184149 >>184146 >>184137 >>184119 I find the simplest way to expose yourself to interesting discussion would be deep topic diving, i.e. RISC or bird watching or… you get the idea.
It's the only way, I find, to come across quality anonymous ideation. To constrain the topic until the filter only leaves the devoted. Wizchan is a (dying) anomaly, if anything.
That's the unfortunate reality. I find cross-pollination of subjects the most interesting, but generalized forums rarely have a long shelf-life or even direction. Although it's a plus to leave the topic open ended so you can span many topics, most are just a drive-by and there aren't many who can engage if someone with expertise decides to open the crate more.
Also, general forums are too easy for the indifferent or the annoying to pollute, while more focused subject groups make them uncomfortable or just outright ignored unless they've come equipped. And the topic constraint makes them unlikely to come in the first place.
So I suppose we can use this platform to share what our interests are and recruit others (if they dare) to check it out, at least.
>>184178 The best way to increase post speed is to post more yourself >I was visiting the feels site even more before it was canned by admin tbh feels still exists
>>184180 none of us want tot alk anymore we have talked for years and there is nothing left to say at all. I guarantee that the only people who bother doing decent posts here are either not daily users or just autistic about whatever it is.
>>184091 >Where did you get bullied? Sorry, I'm not going to answer any questions because that only gives these people entertainment. You can already see it ITT. When the site staff gave up (>>>/meta/60521) so did I. >there's one good way to find interesting threads and posters - long, properly formatted replies. That's not my experience. If I made an effortpost 5 oneliners were made within minutes to bump off the reply, or I was simply attacked, including on /wiz/ which already has a culture of longer replies. When you are being systematically excluded investing lots of energy is precisely the wrong thing to do.
>>184402 you must be new here and imageboards in general. Aside from the popular low quality imageboard everyone knows it is not uncommon for there to be threads that are months or even years old up.
>>184376 mostly 4chan I tried others but didn't stick to them for more than a few days I miss hikkichan though, it was kind of like wizchan but for hikikomori only
>>184024 I like this imageboard, most people seem fairly based and reasonable here. But you're right, it's pretty slow. Anyone have any recommendations for other boards?
>>184028 pretty much this. except i dont drink coffee and i have a much wider range of video/streaming sites and imageboards/forums i frequent. >>184027 usually im like you op, about once a week. but, and it hasnt happened in a while, if im invested in a game it takes time away. and i might be gone a month. i’m also actually 30 so im sure that plays a factor? idk.
>>184024 When I'm at my most miserable usually. That is to say stressed out of my mind, putting off studying because it just makes me even more stressed. Either that or when I feel like engaging in actual thoughtful conversation like in the religion thread. Also when I have time like on breaks I don't really do anything so I hang out here and on /hob/
A couple times a year. It's comforting to visit every so often, and the history feature makes it nice to remember what old posts I made and see what the replies have been to them (although, regrettably, I switched to a new ISP recently, so I lost my post history). Quite often I come here when I'm feeling especially depressed, and I try not to stay here too long by that same token; I do start to feel worse when I linger around for too long.
