[1190387527] The truth behind #fortune

ID:PAcJshg4 No.7793 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm sick and tired of this age-old "omg i wanna do fortune how do i got fortunes????" faggotry that's rampant in /b/. To end it, here's the story behind the whole unfortunate #fortune thing.

In mid-2007 it was decided that anonymity would no longer be enforced in /b/ and so the name field that had been gone for so long was brought back. A new feature was also introduced, called "fortune," which worked with the #fortune command. To make it work, you had to put #fortune in the now non-existent name field. Fortune only worked (and still works) in /b/, nowhere else.

But then, after a while, things got a little out of hand and suddenly there were namefags galore. Due to the abso-fucking-brick-shitting-enormous name faggotry, the name field was quickly taken down. The guys who have fortune now had it when the name field was taken down, and now they're permanently stuck with it.

So no, you can't do fortune. It's simply impossible. The fortune fags are just pulling your fucking gullible newbie leg, so stop asking how to do it.

so, not being familiar with the forum style on the imageboards and the FAQ being woefully inadequate...

How the fuck do you make a post that relates to a particualr post earlier in the thread..?

For example a post will have >>72315 and then a msg... 
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THAT..?

[1187063560] Investment/Finance Imageboard

ID:sD0Rihx0 No.7256 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Since /n/ is now solely about nigras and towelheads and losing my interest, I was wondering if there would be enough momentum to start an investment imageboard or textboard.

discussion allowed:
- ask about stocks
- market news
- investing styles
- Cramer

if we tried /sp/, we should at least try this

We need a real advice board, /b/ isnt good for this shit and /pol/ just doesnt feel right.

Or maybe a /weed/ board. That'd be awesome.
It's not like there weren't potheads on 4chan.

Every time I try to post in a Image-Board like /soc/, it always appears the sign "Error: Upload Failed"
Nothing else.
It is not, because my files are too big, tried a few times...
