/int/ - International

Welcome, Ernstfugees

Context

Okay, I may be off the hook, since when is Krautchan back and how does it compare to Kohl?

>>10610 There are multiple threads on /b/ that might help you understand. The latest one is >>>/b/6574

I'm not from ernst but this seems like the place to ask; how do you guys feel about people who were never on the old krautchan (didn't know about it, only found kohl in 20-21 or so)

>>10612 You make Winnendenfags seem like oldfags. Also, you're probably the number 1 OC contributor to /int/, so you're cool.

>>10612 > how do you guys feel about people who were never on the old krautchan I don't care. I'm not making "remember back then" posts.

>>10612 Don't be cancerous, don't post mainstream social media shit and I couldn't care less.

>>10612 >were never on the old krautchan My reaction to this is: 'Pfff.'

I visited the original KC a long time ago but it didn't show what posts were responding to what post, you had to work the numbers out yourself so I left. But I posted on Yilualta for a few months a number of years ago and that's close enough.

>>10613 >you're probably the number 1 OC contributor to /int/, so you're cool. You likely have me mistaken for someone else, I've only made a bare handful of (fairly bad) things on kohl Typically I have a proxyball there, guess they don't here, or this IP isn't showing up here as a proxy >>10614 There's been some poster level attempts at gatekeeping at times over it elsewhere >>10615 Cancer is as cancer does, which is subjective tbh; I don't think I'm (that) cancerous, but extreme cancer wouldn't think they're cancer, would they

Nevermind, I'm dumb since I just remembered the plethora of fags who take "sitekilling cancer" as a badge of honor

>>10620 >There's been some poster level attempts at gatekeeping at times over it elsewhere Gatekeeping is right and important, but it also can't be misdirected. I'd rather have someone completely new discovering Krautchan in 2025 who is willing to lurk more than someone who used to post Drachenlord on old KC (was he even a thing back then? I can't remember. If not, right/left faggotry).

>>10620 >You likely have me mistaken for someone else Oh, we have a second texball here? Cool.

>>10625 Yes, Dachen cancer and rvss cancer were both a problem in late KC. Luckily either will get you moved/banned here. :3

>>10615 >don't post mainstream social media shit oh, and I do occasionally post some of this, I guess, technically, but my use is overwhelmingly old /pol/ esque, part of some point or "evidence" I rarely make threads of any kind let alone those kind, I'm not all that great at trying to force it and the muse is rather fleeting for a good thread OP >>10625 >Gatekeeping is right and important A bit yes but some methods have much better efficacy than others, given the downsides >who is willing to lurk more Overall you have a good attitude but IMO "lurk more" is detrimentally outdated, since this is kind of a dying format, it's way easier to just tell someone whatever it is you're telling them to lurk more to discover lurk more was more for people completely uninitiated to imageboards anyway, trying to get people to conform too much to some localized/site specific rather than IB specific culture wasn't really the purpose if that's even what you meant by it, idk, just rambling now

>>10629 yeah these are my first posts here ITT

>>10633 The other Texan wasn't on netKC either, but I like his OC.

>>10634 Mine is likely to change; I am in the US but the VPN tosses IPs from all over First time I've had a texball

>>10632 "lurking more" is not to learn board specific "culture" shit (or at least that's not the main idea), which comes in time with lurking, but in order to apply a social event analogy: There is a bar with a bunch of regulars. A new guy comes into the bar. He is loud and obnoxious and starts showing everyone his dick despite this not being a Turing-vollständig bar. That is the kind of newfag that nobody wants. Now if that new guy comes in, orders a beer, maybe overhears a conversatio to chime in, or plays a round of pool and starts talking to people, is that not a way better way to introduce yourself than beating your ugly stick? Obviously in time he will learn the in-jokes and pick up some of the lingo that might be specific to the bar, but that is not necessary to not be a douche. It also allows you to be more mindful of the stuff you post, like there are some topics that have been discussed to death and a new guy trying to talk exactly about that will draw the ire of the regulars. Happened to my dad, a proper boomer, who signed up for a train modeler forum. The first thread he made was about how expensive train modeling is. He could have already guessed that it's a topic that's not new and also rather controversial, and of course he was promptly accused of being a troll. That's what could have been prevented by just fucking lurking some more.

>>10610 >runner DISGIUSTENG!

Hello, it is I, Ernst. Do i get bonus points for posting OG Krautchan /int/ stuff or will i still be a newbie? And where is the radio?

Hello Ernsti. I am glad you are here as well. I always enjoyed being on EC while kc was down.

>>10664 Sadly, no radio.

>>10669 Yet. I heard Radio Ernstiwan is going to shut down. Do the Radio Ernsts want to continue?

Well I know why I never went to EC when KC went down and it was because they're just the most stuck up cunts. If they can keep that under control I'm fine with our fugees though.

>>10676 That was my impression, too 10-15 years ago. But maybe I was just younger and dumber and they were the reasonable ones? Who knows.

>>10677 I aged out of it, personally. I used to be a fairly active EC poster around 2011-ish.

>>10643 >Now if that new guy comes in, orders a beer, maybe overhears a conversatio to chime in, or plays a round of pool and starts talking to people, is that not a way better way to introduce yourself than beating your ugly stick? >Obviously in time he will learn the in-jokes and pick up some of the lingo that might be specific to the bar, but that is not necessary to not be a douche. Effectively "coming on way too strong", good way to put it, I get what you mean.

>>10678 tbf EC in 2011 WAS indeed a bunch of stickassers, but EC in 2018 was certainly preferable to what KC had become and Kohl seamlessly continued. For me the choice was easy, and the handful of times I have visited Kohl since then really only showed how right I was.

>>10643 >That's what could have been prevented by just fucking lurking some more. The thing is it really can't if it's a subject that never comes up. If the topic is something the regulars do not care to talk about then they don't talk about it and your dad would never learn about it being an old topic nobody wants to hear about unless he or someone else makes a thread about it.

>>10633 Well it’s nice to meet you fellow black 8-ball, and welcome to .org

Aren't russian IPs blocked here? It's a big group to keep unblocked.

>>10674 Im pretty sure chvk is 100% wasted today to not start crying! At least chvk, Kidcharlamagne, AltBernd would love to continue. And we had some new Dude forcedjump who just started on 6th of August and already streamed 64 Hours, I guess he would love to be able to stream too. The Radio was always a big Part of EC and imo also a big Reason why the Admin drops the Mic, because we lost a lot Streamers on the Way. History happened with the Radio http://radio.ernstchan.top:8000/statview.php (you can clikk on every Avatar to see their Streams and Stats). Right now AltBernd is streaming Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works, Volume II (1994).

So long as Schizenu doesn't shit this place up, Ernsts are welcome.

>>10722 We don’t have any official comments by the admin on that, have we? But one Bernd on Kohl said Russians are blocked and I’ve never seen one here, so might be true

>>10794 Not official but there's a Russian on the IRC who just told us that it seems to be blocked. It's Russia that blocks KC, not the other way around.

>>10795 Russia blocks Kohlchan, not krautchan.org, this IB is too insignificant to be on the radar of roskomnadzor

>>10795 >>10797 I thought it's blocked because it's hosted on the Ukrain

>>10798 Does Russia block all Ukraine hosted websites? Didn’t know that.

>>10803 Maybe they have a whitelist and block by default.

>>10797 Russians are almost certainly blocked, whether from KC's side or Russia's. What are the odds of not a single Russian having been here while there are already multiple Belarussians present?

We do not block Russians. Neither are they banned nor are they blocked on the server by us. It is possible that either our Ukrainian hoster or Russian ISP are blocking or filtering to some extend.

>>10834 All my proofsters............now I'll never be able to use them.

>>10629 It should be three, mine is always USA ball
