Mike: its like if twitter didnt have any form of moderation 05:21:34
Mike: except its apparently easier to quit parp 05:21:41
HEX: That's just Parler. 05:22:05
Mike: WHEEZES 05:22:10
Mike: Thump 05:22:18
HEX: I think Steve will do fine on getting a team together if the deal goes through. 05:22:49
Mike: Nadia was a shit owner but jesus christ the mod team back then was banger 05:22:52
HEX: I don't think I agree. 05:23:04
Mike: i got banned from my own chat and within like 20 minutes someone answered my ticket 05:23:07
Mike: instead of 05:23:12
Mike: 3 days 05:23:14
Mike: it was the fact the site had more than literally one person running tickets that made it nice 05:23:38
HEX: There were some bad mods back then too, but the really good ones were at the forefront. 05:23:47
Mike: but tbf the only mod i ever talked to was codtier gamzee 05:23:54
HEX: I was mod Roxy back then. 05:24:05
Mike: oh yeah i think i remember you 05:24:12
Mike: i think i met you like once or twice 05:24:18
HEX: Yea probably. 05:24:25
Mike: usually bc i got banned from my own chat or silenced gghrbgjh 05:24:27
Mike: i think mod roxy was the one who helped me when i accidentally silenced myself in my jurassicstuck chat... 05:24:52
HEX: And now we're back on unsupported. Time is a flat circle. 05:24:58
Mike: this version of unsupported is like one step before i joined back then 05:25:21
Mike: bc the sidebar was way different 05:25:38
Mike: but the homepages n shit are practically identical 05:25:47
HEX: I've still got some updating to do. 05:26:03
Mike: just glad we dont need forums to join group chats :) 05:26:05
HEX: I kind of miss the msparp forums, they were sick. 05:26:18
Mike: yeah but jesus fuck the chat ads were a war of their own 05:26:40
HEX: God yeah. 05:26:46
Mike: youd have like a group of 7 friends bumping your page every minute so you'd be on top 05:26:52
HEX: Horrific. 05:27:06
Mike: but i will say the one thing i miss from the forums chat ads were application processes 05:27:14
HEX: Yeah that was nice to have. 05:27:33
Mike: like my god if it was easier to implement that as a chat owner someway besides like "we've listed the ooc room, here's the app info on the left, make a google doc with your app and when you're done dm one of us <3" 05:28:08
Mike: then i wouldnt have had a user vandalize my reserve sheet because i mentioned his 2 sentence replies were hard to work with when everyone regularly wrote 2 [i]paragraphs[/i]+,,, 05:28:40
HEX: Yeah the process needs some modernization. 05:28:59
Mike: i mentioned it to thelle like a year ago but i wished that mxrp2 would open group chats like mxrp1 would if you werent logged in 05:29:40
Mike: and at the bottom of the page would be a [Enter] button 05:29:47
Mike: the sheer amount of homestucks that see [<FANDOM> CANON ONLY] in the chat topic and then join expecting to rp John Egbert is scarily high 05:30:15
HEX: I like how oldparp works without any actual user accounts. 05:30:59
Mike: yeah 05:31:22
Mike: and honestly?? 05:31:25
Mike: it was shockingly hard to bypass an oldparp ban than an mxrp ban 05:31:32
HEX: We did some wild shit back then to make bans hard to get out of, but modern browsers tend to block that sort of thing. 05:32:08
Mike: i think the only time i got ip banned on oldparp was when i went to a local burger king and it turned out parp banned burgerking ips lmao 05:32:11
HEX: I still have some tricks up my sleeve though. 05:32:14
HEX: Lmao. 05:32:18
Mike: lmao indeed i pissed my fucking pants metaphorically that day 05:32:28
Mike: we just need to make an mxrp launcher and have it device ban people 05:32:52
Mike: j /j 05:32:54
HEX: Hardware fingerprinting is so evil, and I love it. 05:33:13
Mike: god yeah 05:33:30
Mike: ever since i think.. halfway through my time on oldparp, before newparp became a thing i was like "yo itd be sick if we had device banning on here" 05:33:48
HEX: It's unfortunately very hard to do that sort of thing now. 05:34:43
Mike: yeah :pensive: 05:34:51
HEX: Not impossible but browser makers don't like it. 05:35:00
Mike: plus now-a-days people will scream you're violating some imaginary law like buddy that's not how it works- 05:35:18
HEX: Lol lmao. I'm probably gonna try and implement it anyways. 05:35:39
Mike: god i just fucking viscerally remembered how thelle wanted to make money off people needing refs for their characters when imgur and [url=] exists--[br] [br]also fuck yeah, fuck the patriarchy, device bans for everyone- 05:35:57
HEX: That was cringe. 05:36:17
Mike: yeah i even mentioned to him about imgur 05:36:26
Mike: and not needing to host more than maybe 05:36:30
Mike: one image each character 05:36:35
Mike: bc the rest can jsut go on an imgur and be linked via bbcode 05:36:46
Mike: but he wanted mxrp to be "Self Sufficient" 05:36:57
HEX: It's ridiculous. I don't have high hopes for MxRP2. 05:37:08
Mike: me neither man 05:37:18
Mike: fucking the worst part 05:37:26
Mike: is how he REFUSED to talk about what members would get 05:37:32
Mike: the only thing he said was more refs 05:37:40
HEX: Incredible. 05:37:49
Mike: but wouldnt mention any other perks and got mad if you assumed that was the only thing 05:37:56
HEX: I don't like the concept of forcing people to pay for basic features. 05:38:04
Mike: yeah the whole "you get 20 image slots. total." when mannnnyyyyy people answered his questions saying they regularly rped more than 20 muses 05:38:32
Mike: "just write lol" ok ill tell my adhd and possibly undiagnosed autism to describe things i have issues visualizing 05:38:53
HEX: I fucking HATED that 'just write' shit. 05:39:26
Mike: YEAH 05:39:29
Mike: i love writing MOTIONS, actions, gestures, all that 05:39:35
Mike: but im SHIT at writing what a person looks like 05:39:41
HEX: It's repetative. It's not fun. 05:40:10
Mike: hell im more apt to just "[url=google]This is what he looks like[/url], his shirt tight fitted over his mu--" type shit 05:40:14
Mike: if every single time i had to rp with someone i had to write a whole desc of what they looked like, i'd cry 05:40:36
HEX: Remember when he wanted to abolish bbcode in prefixes? Claiming it did bad stuff to the DB? 05:40:55
Mike: yeah like??? 05:41:06
Mike: what could it be doing thats worst than ***gradients*** 05:41:15
Mike: THAT YOU HAD A BBCODE GUIDE 05:41:19
Mike: FOR THE SITE 05:41:20
Mike: THAT HAD AN AUTO GENERATOR FOR GRADIE-- 05:41:26
HEX: I hate gradients tho. It hurts my eyes. 05:41:58
Mike: after a while i got petty and when i coded inosuke hashibira i did gradients for his different forms 05:42:06
Mike: so say everytime i said First Fang: it would replace it with a gradient text of his First Form 05:42:23
HEX: Evil. 05:42:30
Mike: >:]c 05:42:34
Mike: at least they were nice colors 05:42:39
Mike: plus they werent used often 05:42:47
HEX: Lol fair. 05:43:16
Mike: i think the biggest L thelle took, which 05:43:34
Mike: while the rule is a total win and i love it 05:43:39
Mike: was the very very VERY silent "no smut refs for nsfwv chats" 05:43:52
Mike: like it wasnt even IN the rule site 05:43:57
Mike: its a great rule, and one i used in my chats even before he said smut refs were against the rules for sfw rooms 05:44:27
HEX: I don't remember this. 05:44:35
Mike: but the fact he never said they were against the rules until i asked about it myself 05:44:37
Mike: it was in the smutcord actually 05:44:42
Mike: where he said this 05:44:44
Mike: :') 05:44:45
HEX: Lmaoooo. 05:44:53
Mike: yeah 05:44:56
Mike: i love the rule but the fucking sheer audacity of this bitch- 05:45:06
Mike: Harry Potter and the Audacity of this Bitch- 05:45:23
Mike: I had someone join my chat with smut refs and wouldn't remove them 05:45:46
HEX: ??? 05:45:55
Mike: And I got petty and actually asked Thelle about smut refs on nsfwv 05:45:56
Mike: in the smutcord- 05:46:04
Mike: and he said "yeah theyre against the rules, report them" 05:46:12
Mike: and its like "HOW COME IVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE" in my head like !?!?!? this is AN IMPORTANT RULE 05:46:31
HEX: This is so much. Why did that person think that's appropriate. 05:46:40
Mike: Because its an 18+ site, even though I had a rule stating we're here for fighting not titties 05:46:58
Mike: It wasn't even the first time or the last 05:47:16
HEX: Terrible. 05:47:36
Mike: And then it turned out the guy was also breaking the 'no underage porn' rule bc it was a bnha chat 05:47:43
HEX: Of fucking course they were. 05:47:57
HEX: Sobbing. 05:47:58
Mike: and he showed off two adult characters with porn refs and i complained to smutcord about it 05:47:59
Mike: and then suddenly went "what if i rped Eijiro" 05:48:08
HEX: Bruhhhhhh. 05:48:22
Mike: and pulled out an eijiro shortcut where half the refs were porn :sob: 05:48:23
HEX: Nooooooooo. 05:48:28
Mike: the worst part is 05:48:32
Mike: i had an eijiro coded myself 05:48:38
Mike: and i rped fat gum 05:48:44
Mike: bnha rpers being not horny for 2 minutes challenge 05:49:08
HEX: This is cursed. 05:49:18
Mike: i stopped rping fat gum bc people were either too horny for him despite him being a willing celibate 05:49:35
Mike: or they would LITERALLY only rp with fat gum and none of my other muses... 05:49:44
HEX: Oof. 05:50:09
Mike: and he was such a fun dude, i was like the only non-horny fat gum on parp... 05:50:12
Mike: i hope if steve gets mxrp2, all the cliquey bitches already packed up and left 05:50:45
HEX: Who knows at this point. There's been no news. 05:51:13
Mike: plot twist thelle made steve sign an NDA 05:51:25
Mike: not even a legally binding one, just one that looks convincing enough 05:51:48
HEX: I'm sure the lawyers he definitely has, the same ones that looked over the contract between himself and 'Insolent', checked it over. It's fine. 05:52:09
Mike: snorts- 05:52:21
Mike: What are you talking about, his lawyer isn't just him in a mustache, I promise 05:52:37
HEX: Google in a trenchcoat. 05:53:02
Mike: Any lawyer would totally approve that contract 100% despite one whole person not even using their real name 05:53:14
HEX: That 'contract' put stipulations on people who didn't even sign it. Lol. 05:53:41
Mike: ikr?! 05:53:49
Mike: I would have loved to see him try to sue someone for 'breaking' that contract 05:54:01
Mike: It hurt itself in its confusion. 05:54:17
HEX: Insolent would have to, and in order for that to happen she has to exist. 05:54:19
Mike: LMAO 05:54:26
Mike: Its utterly hilarious how 05:54:36
Mike: after the parp drama in the official discord 05:54:41
Mike: and the cherp shit 05:54:45
Mike: she just straight dropped off the face of the planet 05:54:51
Mike: same with AKI 05:54:53
HEX: It's pretty funny. 05:55:05
Mike: "They're not sockpuppets guys" 05:55:11
HEX: Totally. 05:55:21
Mike: The fact alone that Thelle claimed I was making false claims against AKI, which, in reality he wouldn't be able to verify if he wasn't AKI... 05:55:44
HEX: He what now? 05:56:04
Mike: I got banned for 24 hours at one point 05:56:12
Mike: For pointing out AKI allowed underage back on parp solely bc he shut down all communications 05:56:24
HEX: Lmaoooo. 05:56:35
Mike: And Thelle banned me without a word 05:56:40
HEX: Fucking incredible. 05:56:49
Mike: so Steve asked on my behalf about what happened, not even naming names 05:56:49
Mike: "Oh I know them, they've been making false claims about AKI allowing underage on parp, even though I have logs about Spamless making bans while I was gone" 05:57:09
XxTEH PANDA KINGxX [] joined chat. ~~ 9 ~~ 05:57:14
Mike: "They're annoying" 05:57:29
HEX: Wow. 05:57:30
Mike: "I just wanted to scare them into shutting up, I'll unban them tomorrow" 05:57:39
Mike: And this is after he said he didn't ban people for talking smack about him lmao 05:57:53
Mike: It's like who fucking cares if they were false or not anyway, no one knows who the fuck AKI was 05:58:21
Mike: The claims wouldn't be able to follow them at ALL 05:58:31
HEX: He's so transparent oh my god. 05:59:01
Mike: The fact alone that AKI said they had a team of mods but ticket responses still took the same amount of time as when Thelle stated he owned parp-- 05:59:10
Because Aki was a singular mod. 05:59:54
Mike: well yeah 05:59:59
Mike: but he also swore up and down he had his own team of mods 06:00:07
Mike: lmao 06:00:08
Mike: I wish Thelle had his site mod account set with a preset name like 06:00:30
Mike: how Hex's is 06:00:36
Mike: bc i would have laughed my ass off if he joined a chat after he said AKI took over and it said 'THELLERE' 06:00:51
A plethora of mods back then didn’t use names. 06:00:56
HEX: LMAO 06:00:57
Mike: nah a lot did 06:01:03
Mike: just not like. specific names 06:01:09
They’d frequently come in with just ‘Mod.’ On a occasion you would see the named ones. 06:01:16
Mike: I actually saw more named mods than 'Mod' 06:01:29
Mike: like Gamzee, Roxy, Turtle, I think someone mentioned Nepeat? 06:01:47
Mike: like as their parp mod name 06:01:53
Cool. 06:01:58
Mike: newparp though the only sitemod i met who didnt have a preset name was Thelle 06:02:17
Mike: and 06:02:31
Mike: whoever joined my NSFWE chat that one time to make sure we werent letting kids fuck 06:02:39
Mike: hBGEJHRG 06:02:44
Mike: but that was during AKI's reign so who the fuck knows 06:03:04
HEX: It was definitely Thellki. 06:03:22
