Can we please get a darker theme? All the bright colors make it difficult to browse for a longer period of time.
Other than that I'm really enjoying it. Especially because there are no bitchy/snarky anons who only seem to want to cause shitsorms.
As for the name, I like it.
Anonymous 41
Whenever I hide a thread, it hides all threads on the board. Can that be fixed? I want to browse /b/ without seeing the NSFW cute boy thread.
Anonymous Admin 43
>>41Please try now. If it's still not working, try in an incognito tab.

How is the site being promoted? I really hope this can be a new "home" for me so I hope traffic picks up speed.
Anonymous Admin 52
>>28I've created a dark theme, I'll install it within the next day. Until then, the Yotsuba B theme should be a bit more neutral on the eyes.
Everyone who's handy with CSS is welcome to submit more custom styles.
>>45I'm happy to listen to suggestions here as I neither want to shill the site too much nor do I think straightforward advertising will work too well. I'm considering a Facebook ad campaign targeted towards women in their 20s who have relevant interests, but of course Facebook isn't the best platform.
Anonymous 58
>>52Thank you <3
As for the submitting more styles, is there any sort of base code or anything? Or at least where to find it? Would like to give it a try.
Anonymous Admin 66
>>58Here's the stylesheet for our default theme:
https://pastebin.com/d3EFdDJnBy using the Inspect tool on parts of crystal.cafe, you can change the css until you like it and copy any changes you made into the stylesheet. Please take a screenshot of the result and post it in here along with a pastebin link to your css. :)

I've been thinking about nicknames for staff.
People who work with gems are called gemologists, jewelers or lapidaries, a lapidary cuts gems but it's a bit of a mouthful! I'm still thinking, as far as I've found there's no specific name for someone who oversees mine work other than just "boss". Correct me if I'm wrong.

Would absolutely love an EGL/jfashion board. Could be cgl-like too but I personally dont cosplay so I dont really care about that aspect
Anonymous 149
What if apart from the suggested movie night in the survey, we also had a few "gaming nights"?
A lot of users seem to play videogames, so maybe grabbing a free online or very inexpensive coop game (i.e towns of salem) and playing it together could be good for the community and maybe even bring some new traffic!
Anonymous Admin 151

>>140I second having another board specifically for cosplay or alternative/jfashion.
I don't know maybe later down the road, there could even be 3 separate boards:
>/beauty/>/fa/ (could include both normie and alt fashion)>/cos/ I don't think there's ever been a cosplay board for girls only seeing as /cgl/ is overrun with male cosplayers. It might actually attract more female gulls to crossover here or even girls who specifically stray from 4chan could have a safe haven here so-to-speak.
Anonymous Admin 154
>>152Would a /cgl/ board be sufficient? Once we have much more traffic, I would eventually like to split it into sub-boards (cosplay, lolita, fash, jfash). But, right now, the board is too slow to add so many similar boards.
Also, I was wondering if an NSFW board would be a good idea.

Anonymous 165
>>160Ah! Seconded on GW2, played it for a while, ended up uninstalling it but it is quite fun for the first 80 lvls and fairly easy to get into, the community is pretty chill too and it's very easy to make guilds, which is nice. Also unlike ffXIV, everyone can play since it's free.
Otherwise maybe things like Drawful, 100% Orange Juice, Keep talking and nobody explodes, Tabletop simulator, ARMA 3, Left 4 Dead/Paladins (Although not sure how keen the girls here will be on shooting games) could be some good options.
Some of these games are limited players rather than MMO, but since the userbase is small, it could work. Most of them are under 10 dollars, free, or normally on sale for 1-5 dollars or less.

Anonymous 212
>>208It really depends from artist to artist. In my case, since I already have a clear design in my mind, it would take just a few hours to sketch and paint. Some can take longer, or even less time, but it probably wouldn't surpass a day to have it all figured out, maybe.
My suggestion would be: Announce on everyboard (like LC does the hellweek announcements, for example) that the board-tan contest is/will be open. Specify the deadline to enter the contest with the design (I'd suggest a week up to 10 days max). Once the deadline ends, have another week (or less, like 5 days) for voting.

/disc/ - Ethics of adopting vs breeding
/b/ - favorite breeds and stories and pics

All these threads would be moved to the animal board if we make one in the future.
I will write an explanation for the differences between the boards soon and open an ongoing survey where users can suggest future boards. Then once we have enough requests for a specific board, we will open it on a trial basis!

Anonymous 267
Hey admin, I wonder is it okay to suggest a board idea? I'd really love an /x/ (paranormal) board.
I think I've seen a few girls here mention that they're into spooky stuff. We could talk about murder mysteries, witchcraft, our paranormal experiences, share spooky films, talk about cryptids from our individual countries…
I really liked /x/ before it became full of "how do I summon a succubus" memes. Maybe an all-female paranormal board would be more intelligent and interesting?
Anonymous Admin 268
>>267Personally I would absolutely love this, but adding too many boards will dilute the site and make it harder for users to find content they like. I've considered adding an /x/ board as a seasonal Halloween trial thing and keep it if it's active enough. I'm working on a poll for more user input and will include a way to vote on new boards!
Another possibility is to offer ongoing board suggestions that users can vote on and we'll open boards once there are a certain amount of votes. Please let me know what you all think!
Anonymous 299
>>268I honestly feel like we don't need /disc/. It covers such a broad range, it's really vague and that kind of OT discussion gets posted elsewhere anyways. I get it's kind of a containment board, but that's what /b/ should be until we need something else. Then we'd have room for another board possibly?
Anonymous 300
>>299I kinda agree with this. I never really understood why /disc/ was created since I feel like it can be pretty similar to /b/. Similar discussions happen in /b/ and /disc/ (ex: the drug use general seems pretty discussion like to me but it's posted in /b/). It makes me confused as to where some threads should go
Anonymous Admin 301
As requested, I merged /health/ & /beauty/ and /b/ & /disc/. Unfortunately, I encountered a bug, so until I fix it, I cannot change the board menu links. I apologize for the inconvenience! The new board is available under

I'm one of the few that thought "let her post as long as she doesn't sperg", but if she tries to bring the robots and incels here she can fuck off the board.

Can we change /cgl/ to something broader, like /fash/ or similar, as in to includie other forms or indie and normie fashion as well? I'm not into lolita or other weeby interests, but I'd like to discuss fashion and that would probably be the best board for it.
The only thread there that isn't lolita is the twee fashion. If posting other types of fashion there is a-ok, I'm fine with it. It's just a name suggestion, idk. Or even the description:
/cgl/ - Cosplay, Jfash, Fashion
Cosplay, Lolita, Jfashion, General Fashion
Or something like that.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the comments one, but thumbnails and full size images aren't always in the same orientation, e.g.:
>>>/img/2519I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be 'fixed' or if it's just a question of educating anons on how to rotate images properly. It might be better if the thumbnails
weren't rotated according to the EXIF data when they're generated though, because then anons can see the image isn't rotated.
Unless this is something that can be configured with a flag I imagine modifying the thumbnail generator might be a fair bit of work though.

I am not for getting rid of them, but maybe lessening the usage since it doesn't really contribute to conversations very much since people assume they are talking about the same thing and speaking past each other. I already don't participate when there are discussions based around these topics, but I don't want to go as far as telling people to stop–because they won't, if something is taken away, it's going to result in backlash even if people don't have a large investment in it to begin with.

Okay this is dumb and nitpicky
But I get bothered how threads from /b/ and /feels/ get organized incorrectly. Like the names thread in /feels/ is more of a /b/ thread imo and then there was a pony thread in /b/ which should be in /media/. In general I've noticed mods have seemed to slow down, most apparent with how long it is starting to take to ban maleposters. But maybe it's just because my timezone is dumb.
Anonymous 1810
>>1806If you can't think of people outside of a bonkers, silly, childish "Chad/Stacy" dichotomy then yeah, maybe you need to be banned, and remain so until you've read at least one book. But in all seriousness interlopers are going to use these "femcel" threads to turn this board into another far-right 4chan outpost and only stringent and forceful moderation is going to prevent that. You can pretend it won't happen here, or maybe you just don't care, but it's already begun and if you won't see it then more fool you.
What you perhaps don't understand is that these people are happy to lie, mislead and obfuscate in order to get their way. They aren't interested in having their opinions challenged or changed.
And what a lot of imageboard admins don't understand is that far from driving everyone away from an imageboard, this kind of moderation can create a unique online space that anonymous users want, but can't find since the mass-/pol/iticisation of many other sites.
But whatever, everyone thinks I'm wrong until I'm invariably proven correct. Anonymous 1811

Is more moderators out of the question? I feel like a common complaint in the boards and discord is that trolls aren't dealt with swiftly enough. I'm not asking to be a mod per se, just wondering if that's something that's feasible.

Forgive my ignorance of web development for I am not a high-IQ computer scientist; but is it possible/feasible to merge threads with the OP post and image intact and migrated to another thread? The wonderful thing about this website is that post links work perfectly and are smooth (IE a post link from /feels and be posted here on /meta and immediately work) so issues with context and quoting posts shouldn't be a problem. I bring this up due to numerous duplicate threads and their OPs (and it's not just /feels and relationship venting; lots of same threads on /b). Right now the way to deal with this is to post a link in duplicate thread to older thread and lock the new one; but I don't like this for a few reasons.
1) most of the time while the discussion in the locked new duplicate thread may have been somewhat active that activity doesn't carry over to the older thread for some reason (shyness? Laziness in quoting another thread?). Even if locked duplicate thread stays in catalog at top for couple days (resulting in lots more threads clogging up catalog)
2) I am not a mod and I feel awkward being "that person" telling a small but active (say 5 post thread) that another thread is here as often times I have nothing else to say and just posting a link feels abit dismissive (for me, I don't mind seeing mods do this). There's for instance 3 different threads about a general topic that I am hesitant to report because 2 have atleast somewhat active recent discussion.
3) lots of older threads (cooking, general interests, etc) with nice stuff in them and nowhere near 500 posts. Some new somewhat related recent posts merged would bring life to those threads like a general thread without people having the shame of "necrobumping". And like that a cathederal is built one stone at a time.
Granted it's not perfect and there would be some confusion in context at first but is it possible?
Anonymous Admin 1980
>>1976>>1978I'll look into both of these issues, thanks for bringing it up.
If you catch a thread early on that already has an older equivalent, please don't feel weird about linking the old thread. Necromancy is of absolutely no concern on a site this slow.

Anonymous Admin 2962
>>2955>>2954>>2956A while back I posted a request not to make any new threads about this topic and use the general instead, I'll make that request more visible by adding it to the /b/ sticky. I'm hesitant about adding new boards as containment zones because I believe that they will bring in new users that are solely interested in that board and not integrate with board culture, and it will overshadow the regular activity and fully cement our reputation as a site whose only purpose is to talk about gender. Threads that vent about men are already taking up a majority of the site; I have even been thinking about making a board for talking about issues with men so that /b/ and /feels/ have more room to breathe, but again, containment zones rarely work.
Another issue with the trans subject is that anyone who isn't fully on board with gc is deemed a man/tranny and reported, which means that there's not much basis for discussion and I see this situation getting worse as gc discussion is expanded upon, making it impossible to moderate because of the strong belief held by many users that no real woman could be posting in support here, even if I've checked their post history and did not see any red flags. It's a weird slippery slope and our site is so small and already a huge target for trolls and infiltration, so big changes like these could make or break it. I'm leaning towards making a radfem board to contain manhate and terfposting if anything.
Anonymous 2963
>>2962>a board to complain about menI think that would be even better. Some time ago I made a thread on /b/ about how we talk about men too much here, and how that's not good. Since then it became even a bigger issue.
I think this influx is because the biggest subreddit about the subject was killed recently, so they came here. This and the natural growth of the site.
Agreed about those who don't hate trans (and I say this as someone who hates trans). We don't need to be hostile toward them, it's a mistake I won't make again.
Anonymous 2964
>>2962Makes sense now that you mention it, how about the opposite? A board specifically to keep that kind of threads/posts out.
Like, anyone one either baiting or posting terf/men/pol stuff would either get the posts removed or a temp board ban. Might work since /b/ inherently invites it so may as well have one that avoids it.

>>3217Honestly the nsfw board should just be nuked at this point. I’ve seen countless threads where 4ch moids brag about posting their fetishes there. And it doesn’t get new traffic due to being unlisted, it’s just a reason for men to continue to invade the community.

there should be containment board ,something like /moid/ where all the male post would be moved instead of getting delated and real discussion could be held. imagine the things we could learn from each other.People who visit chans are really like-minded no matter the gender.(USER HAS BEEN BANNED FOR THIS POST.)
Anonymous 3267
>>3266I've already gave my opinion on this a few times:
The main problem about a containment board would be the fact that 1 it would have more traffic than any other and 2 they would leak to other boards, looking for girlfriends and stuff.
No one denies that imageboards have both the best and worse people from both sex and there are moids that could actually contribute to this board, but I think it's too risky to have them legally here, even if they would be in only one board. The staff would need lots of discretion to ban all the bad posters it would bring (and they can always evade). Also, if CC becomes too mainstream, the chances for raids would rise as butthurt /pol/ and /r9k/ moids would just flood with gore and CP.
The only remotely possibility IMO a mixed board could work would be something like a /gsg/ (girls ask guys, there is a site for this) where only those that genuinelly want to help wouldn't be banned and even this is very risky.

What happened to this place?
I am not knocking the people who run CC but I question some of the choices.
We used to not allow trannies because they are men but I see now it is allowed?
This is one of a few female alternatives to wizchan and r9k and considering r9k is already 90% tranny spam I have to question why we are allowing trannies here.
Sorry for making a thread I just wanted to see others opinions.

Why aren't we allowed to talk about politics? Every other chan can. It just feels like more "politics are men's business" nonsense. Girls are only allowed to talk about boys and makeup uwu.

Rule 9 exists for a reason. You know we get raided already, so why should we make it easier by making a place we know beforehand they're going to flock to? Don't act like the ones constantly mentioning CC on other chans aren't going to organize raids the moment they see an easy opportunity, mods will have to mass ban when they didn't need to before, and then the pol board will killed anyway.

Lmao please, you're just a tranny who doesn't want his slumber party site to have "boy stuffs" on it. If you alter the site and censor your discussion because of moids, you let them win. Especially if you remove political discussion, which women have traditionally been barred from. You have defiantly proven yourself to be a tranny with this take. Half the moids who come here are looking for a gf, the frequent threads about boys doesn't help with that. Politics isn't gonna attract moids any more than all the other shit on this site, you're just a tranny who wants to feel valid.

An

Look up crystal cafe in the archives and you see how much we're on their radar. But since you're a moid who already knows this, you've been beating off to the idea. I'll call you a tranny too so now we're even.

>>3648I wanted one too, but I can imagine it would be hellish to moderate and nearly impossible to do so without ruining the overall board feel. We have people with all types of political opinions here, but this couldn't be a completely uncensored thing because that would not fit with this board's culture. That would mean admin would have to draw some line and decide to censor some opinions but not others, and that would inevitably lead to shitstorms. Idk, I wouldn't want to do that either. It's better this way.

I dunno if it fits here, but is the site really slow and laggy for anyone else? I do not have the fastest computer, but it can show most web pages just fine. For example old reddit and 4chan work fine. But when I scroll through CC it is so clunky, the framerate really drops. You think anything could be done about that? Because otherwise I grew to really love this site.

Thoughts on banning discussion around /r9k/ and 4chan? It's not that I hate these but each time this place gets brought up these exact moids come here. Talking about them gives them the attention they crave so it's expected they'd come to crystal.cafe. I feel like there would be less moids to deal with if these topics wouldn't be mentioned as often. What do you think? Or is it too strict to ban this altogether?
Anonymous 3925
>>3924I agree that it's annoying but banning all mentions of that place would be too draconian. This wouldn't be that much of a problem if anons kept their moid-hate to the designated threads instead of making a new thread everytime some /r9k retard says something stupid and miners feel the need to seethe about it here.

So I admit I don't really know how difficult this is for a small feature but one thing that I would personally find convenient is for replies to show up in a little window if they're partially cut off. Here's a random screenshot from 4chan and you can see how the reply preview shows up despite said reply being partially on-screen. On cc and lolcow the reply would instead be highlighted in a different color for being on-screen, but you wouldn't be able to read most of it since it's past the edge of the window. It's just a small quality of life adjustment so you can see the whole thing without scrolling.
I also want to say that I appreciate this site!

What makes you think they'd stay in their rightful containment board, if anything CC opening a board like that would just attract more negative male attention.
I suggested we open it as bait but then ban every confessed male poster there without even giving them a notice of their ban.
It still doesn't stop troons and coomers from r9gay who come here specifically to larp like 1 of tha gurls OwO and feel like women while jerking off.
Other maleposters just come here to mock us and seethe at our opinions,so opening a containment board doesn't solve that issue since it doesn't carry the discussion they want to participate in.
