/meta/ - Board Discussion

It's time for another survey! Let's discuss the future of crystal.cafe. Please post any questions you'd like to vote on in this thread and I'll add them to my points.

Hey guys,

as a user whose life has been largely improved by having this community around, what are you guys doing to make c.c a better place? I've been linking it to all of my smart, strong female friends who I think would appreciate this place. I've noticed everything is getting a bit slower, so I think we need to make this kind of effort. I think this is a place that's really empowering for women, and that has become more and more important to me.

Word of mouth growth is going to get us the best kind of community, imo.

While I appreciate what you're tying to do here, the way I see it eventually one of two things is going to happen:

1) the userbase is going to grow to the point where this rule becomes un-enforceable, at which point the community is going to change and this'll just be another imageboard like all the others

2) you're going to have issued infinity-1 length IP bans on the entire IP range and you'll limit yourselves out of existence. When most people go to a site and find that they're banned when they try to make their first post, they don't bother to appeal the ban, they just go somewhere else.

The reason 'tits of GTFO' is a thing on other imageboards is precisely because using your gender as a means of validate your point is a shitty argument. imo you'd be better off preempting the first outcome by using a 'balls or GTFO' equivalent to dissuade the kind of posts you're trying to limit.

I'm glad to see you've at least come to your senses with the 88 year bans (88 is an odd number btw, is that a reference to something?), you might want to consider reviewing your existing ban list if this kind of length has been the norm.

As I pointed out in the other thread, you're also not making your lives easier by not having a link to the rules on your homepage; unfortunately, men are not mind readers. Just chucking bans at people that feel like they're coming out of nowhere is generally going to generate a certain kind of reaction.

Banner suggestion.

Here it is.

Here's a Halloween theme! You can choose it in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page. I had a different vision for it, but the raids took up a lot of my c.c time. The Winter theme will be nicer, promise.

If the tree interferes with your reading, you can right click and block it (if you have an adblocker, which you should)

Thanks so much for two of my dear friends for donating their art + code assistance! <3

Due to seasonal and other unforeseen circumstances, we've had to ████████████ certain topics. Please do not be alarmed, but do not look for them either. If you are lured to a █████████ location, please proceed with care.

Is there going to be anything done to protect us more around here?

It's a little concerning how little the admins seem to care.

Just wanted to say I love the banners of the site, very tastefully and atmospherically chosen,

Please help us out by answering a few questions about your experience on crystal.cafe. Thank you very much!

The Autumn theme requested in >>>/b/1642 is here! You can select it in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page. I will add a dark version soon. Still working on the quick replies!
