Hello, I'm sorry if this is inappropriate as I am a newcomer to this board but I figured this would be the best place to discuss this. Hopefully I am not imposing myself or breaking any spoken or unspoken rules. If I am I apologize.
Now on to the topic at hand, some of you may know that recently on /g/ there have been stickies where there was testing of the posting of a format called webm. webm is an open source html5 audio-video container. This means that there is a good possibility that soon there may be the ability to post videos to the image boards. However as of now the sound has been disabled and stripped from all uploads, and ostensibly the reason for this format being tested is to see if it can replace gif with better compression and filesizes. To me, this is an interesting proposition, on one hand I do not think I am entirely opposed to something replacing gif. On the other hand I do wonder if every post can contain a minute or more of good quality video(far more can be squeezed in if liberties are taken with the quality), sans sound, if something very basic and inherent to our image boards as we have known them will change. Furthermore I fear what would happen if it could so easily be changed into video with sound, it seems like if that happens we may lose part of what makes image boards unique by allowing content hosting like that. I can't quite articulate what that would be at the moment, and I very well may be wrong.
Some would say that this is me being against progress, but I do not see it as such, I do not see progress as destroying what you were in the first place to become something new. Is this a foolish outlook?
Well that's my thoughts on the matter at the moment. What do you think, am I simply too sentimental and trapped in the past, or is there something to it? If there will be changes, will it be for the better or for the worse? I would like to hear your ideas on the matter.
All the imageboards on 4chan have been frozen since UTC 20:11 and there are no news about what's going on, not even on the twitter. This message is partly to see if it's affected the textboards too and partly to ask if anyone knows what's going on.
Why isn't there a /med/ical board on 4chan? I know there's /fit/ and /adv/ but neither of them exactly qualify to give health advice all the time. Please at least consider it, moot.
BUMMED OUT: Miss Jen Selter says she does not go public gyms any more because she gets recognised and doesn't like being watched.
New York woman finds fame after posting photos of her bum on Instagram
She joined Instagram in March 2012. And so far, she has amassed 1.3 million followers.
What makes Miss Jen Selter, 20, a front runner in the social media? Her bum. She apparently has the best bottom in the universe.
Her Instagram followers include fellow Instagram queen Rihanna and NBA star Amar'e Stoudemire, the New York Post reported.
"I'm recognised whatever I am," said the New York native. "I don't really go to public gyms any more just because it is a whole big scene when I'm there. I don't like being watched."
Miss Selter, who is 1.7m tall and weighs 50kg, has perfected the art of the "belfie" (bum + selfie).
Apart from her massive fan following on Instagram, she also has 505,000 likes on her Facebook page. On Twitter, she has 90,000 followers and counting, The Huffington Post reported.
"I don't really post a lot of face pictures," said Miss Selter, whose handle is @jenselter.
"I mainly do body selfies. Not that I care what people think, but they don't care. They don't want to see my face."
How did her posterior gain a cult following?
After finishing high school, she took some cosmetology classes while holding side gigs at a plastic surgeon's office and at gym.
Then, she started working out and - boom - her butt began ballooning.
She started posting workout selfies on Instagram. She noticed people were reposting her images without credit, so she reached out and asked to be tagged.
She began amassing 200,000 followers every month. When that hit half a million, she quit her gym job.
Deals with New York City water company NY20 and nutrition supplement company Game Plan Nutrition, for which she is a spokesman, have helped her rake in "a lot more money than a graduate would be making".
She is not resting on her laurels. She plans to roll out her own line of workout wear and probably a gym chain.
But with fame comes negativity. She has been accused of going under the knife and has been called many unflattering things.
But Miss Selter is not perturbed.
"I've seen fake butts, and they're nicer. They look nothing like mine. I see it as a compliment."
She said she draws the line between posting pictures of her rear and saucy pictures.
Said Miss Selter, who lives with her mother: "I'll never post a raunchy pic. There's a difference between a porn-site picture and gym wear or bikini wear. Everything's usually yoga pants."
