Amazon Prime will soon deliver your AIDS medicine using drones
The bigots better get used to it: Amazon Prime drones are going to deliver life-saving HIV medicine directly to gay people. And for every Amazon Prime free trial sign-up, MPC gets $$$pAiD$$$.

Already have Amazoid Prime? You can still give back to this gay-friendly cyberpunk samizdat forum by visiting Amazon using this referral link to buy video games and Lego sculptures THEY'RE LEARNING TOOLS, DAD.

If you want to directly reward the hassling of Matt Ygleisas through inappropriate Twitter accounts, consider donating directly to MPC using one of several anti-bigotry techniques detailed at the link. (We pretty much get zilch from Jeff Bezos' crappy link-spamming referrals anyway.)
Welcome, Guest!
As per the Internet Bill of Rights, you have access to most of the forums here, but MPC is a white privilege zone and you must become white to have a voice. Once you respond to the registration email, someone--no one knows who--must approve your new account. Then your journey across a sea of hurtful words begins.

I haven't done one of these in a couple of years.

Year over year, visits increased 20% (710k from 587k) and pageviews 2.8% (5.8m from 5.6m).  The forum is in slow grow mode although we will still pursue the Netflix model of firing all but the very best posters, as evidenced by the year's permanent bans of A-town, mlad, and rippedphreak.

Pages per visit declined 15% (8.2 from 9.6) because a lot of people just sit in chat and lord it up in front of the thousands of chaperoned visitors who aren't allowed to post there.  And yet people still do post threads, unlike on rival forums where the site pauses during toilet flushes, and members must be bribed with lubricated condoms and nude photos of Kevin Wall, and the admin can't even write complete sentences.

The forum enemies list still includes just Ashley Hutsell and Phalluster.  We hope these two find each other and that the police report is detailed and specific.

Thank you once again, even if you are just an anomymous visitor.  Thanks to Roissy for linking to us numerous times, and to top posters (you know who you are) for creating interesting threads and not just begging for pizzas in chat all the time.  Please try the Amazon Prime free trial linked at the top, as MPC doesn't get any of that Ron Unz jewbux unlike certain famous MPC lurkers I could name.

By the way, since I didn't do one of these last year, the figures for the previous year were visits up 42%, pageviews up 28%, pages/visit down 9%.

What do we want to see here at MPCdot.com this year?

Very simple - more forum discussion.

This can take the form of discussion based off of a news article, off of questions initiated by a poster, or best of all, discussions that spin off from a research thread in which a poster will cull information from books, papers, or online sources and share them here.

Also, there are long-running threads here at the forum that get added to continually which is good, but they need to be tempered with original content threads.

I will continue to add to existing research threads and begin new ones this year that may or may not spark interest. I'll also share .pdf files as well.

Also:

Everyone here is asked to invite two people who have never been here to join the forum and contribute

Maybe you should start again, friendo. We need more intelligent commentary on Russia; after all, only around 30% of posters speak Russian.

Să trăiţi, tovarăşe Buşrod!

The reasons I fell out of posting feed into Harold Lloyd's comment above: a decline in legit forum discussion.  I'd considered posting something to voice my concerns way back, but the idea of a mY GriEvAnCeZ thread felt too goony.  With this thread as a proper place for the subject, I reckon I'll say more on the matter.

For better or worse, the chat and the forum are competitors.  This might sound counter-intuitive, but I've seen it happen before whereby a community with both a forum and a chat ends up favoring one to the extent that the other dies off.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing.  After all, people favor the format with which they feel most comfortable.  On MPC, chat has handily won, as evidenced by the simple fact that the best threads on the forum are from 2011.

I do not mean to imply that chat doesn't foster intelligent, long-form exchanges; quite the contrary.  The conversation in which Pangur schooled me on Greek history, to the extent of recommending a fantastic book to redress my ignorance, still stands out in my memory even years afterward.  Simply put, chat is where most of the content is generated.  What's problematic about this is that its scope (SCALE PROBLEMS IN AMERICA :weev:) has outgrown what a simple forum chat tool can accommodate.  That is, there's no way to:

* alert individual users; I might want to holla at nigga to engage him in a discussion if he's otherwise idle
* keep a long-term log; if I closed my browser window, I'll have no idea that a really cool conversation took place just an hour ago
* make easy references to something that happened earlier without having manually archived it; a corollary of the point above

The trouble is that options which address these points (e.g. an IRC channel) are too gay and inconvenient for a random passerby to jump onto.  Nonetheless, it might be worth considering, especially given how easy it is to use IRC from a browser nowadays.

In any event, getting more discussion on forums, with chat or not, is a matter of (A) critical mass and (B) keeping the low-content bullshit away.  If mlad stays banned and smyd-style posters are kept away, perhaps a diligence in the latter will encourage the former.

My apologies for the POSTING THEORY 888, but that's just how a nagger feel.

@SummernlightningUSA Nice rational argument there. If you don't like RSD stuff, then fuck off of the video and let everyone else enjoy the life-changing insights in peace...while you bitterly masturbate in the friend zone.

interesting thoughts...there is a big forum software update looming and I might go with it if it fixes enough things (the editor for example being garbage)...at that point I'll re-evaluate extending chat features and doing a new editor, or switching to new software entirely, such as vbulletin...it's not something I want to spend too much time on though

there are lots of ways to improve the forum but it really comes down to how much time I can spend on it, will it be justified by results or not...I have been removing white noise posters like rippedphreak and a-town, mlad will stay banned, so we'll see but maybe I just need to post more myself

A chat archive that keeps a log of maybe the last ~24 hours' worth of chatting would be pretty cool, IIRC we used to have something similar at one point :eek:
The truth is that we do not enjoy masterless freedom; we are continually threatened by psychic factors which, in the guise of "natural phenomena", may take possession of us at any moment. The withdrawal of metaphysical projections leaves us almost defenceless in the face of this happening, for we immediately identify with every impulse instead of giving it the name of the other, which would at least hold it at arm's length and prevent it from storming the citadel of the ego.

IRC as a medium is dominated by goons and bronies but a channel would be superior to a chat. The effort is considerable for the administration though because it would probably require a separate MPC network (well, at least one ircd) since we're likely to get kicked off otherwise.

you can make a channel on irc.weremight.com, or just join #chat there to check the network out. (try chatting during the evening though.) there are other channels for different sites similar to mpc which are there already

its run by very trustworthy people

there's a web-based/mobile app accessible at coc-irc.net if you dont want to download mIRC
