"Forum should be gatekept"

[burn]

It really shouldnt, the place is dead (cold hard truth nigs will hate me) and thing is even if we dont gatekeep it the place will still be dead, normies will never join something like this, they're not interested into higher iq stuff like the whitepill, hell they're not even interested into the blackpill, which is why only looksmaxxing became mainstream , normies dont care bout stuff that makes u use your brain, they just want instant information that will give them instant gratification like looksmaxxing does, safe to say for hardcore gatekeepers your ok my niggas theres really nothing u gotta worry bout, places like this are underground and will continue to be.

True, and the fact that the majority of boards are hidden for non users and you get an annoying anime girl blocking the screen begging you to create an account, just help to drive potential users away

Everyone arrives when they have to arrive. There is no need to force anything.

So for you to consider a site not dead, the userbase should be made up of normies? By that definition all non-mainstream sites are dead.

It's only the Offtopic section which is private. Rest of the boards are public. The reasoning for that is to protect user's privacy and encourage lurkers to register to see what is being posted there.

Fine, I'll disable it. I think we're past the stage of needing to rely on that thing.

Look at .is for example, it aint as mainstream as org, but its still active af, normies sexhavers aint allowed there, but still its an active place without normies.
But a forum bout whitepill, we dont have a big comunnity like incels do, we need normies to keep it alive, but still a place without normies can be active, but a whitepill place is still young we really cant do anything to raise the activity, without some kind of normie invasion

Fourth "forum is dead" thread in a month, give it a rest lol. This place sees daily activity and has a healthy base of regulars plus decent flow of new people, believe me this forum is doing better than other upstart forums out there.

Forecast today? Whitepills

You have to be patient with this sort of thing, and the forum is still young. I agree that the forum topic will always be niche, and we shouldn't expect to see the same kind of activity as larger sites like Incels or Looksmax, but that can be a good thing in itself, some users have commented on the more relaxed environment here which also produces higher quality discussions. This place has moderate enough activity for it to not be considered a ghost town; the main focus is to maintain a steady growth of the forum and community.

It aint dead based on how many members it has, its actually pretty good, by this thread im just responding to the ppl that say "forum should be gatekept", but they also say the place is dead, and not shit jfl when u gatekeep something its gonna be more dead.
I look at club and .net and they pretty dead despite being around much longer and being more popular in the blackpill/incel secene, this place has a great start but the current users will stop being active hell even the early 2024cels are dead they wont care and there will be no newfags to make it alive.

 

[Bitter]

For me this forum is fine as it is, there is no rush to grow. This place is not perfect, there are some users that I don't like, but I'm not going to blame tabula for that.

 

[Enju]

.net is a perfect example of why this should be gatekept to an extent. people on this forum want to keep lookism shit out for the most part and rather the forum be more relaxed as Tabula said. Inviting a bunch of zoomerfaggots from .org is precisely how .net became a low quality forum to coalpost about lookism. A good way to go about making the forum more active is to invite quality members.

A majority of people have a double digit IQ. They don't care about the science behind things or mental improvement and only care about superficial things.

I guess the question is what is the point of this forum? It's labeled "Whitepill" but I don't see universal agreement about what that means, so I don't think it's value for anything specific. Could say it's about rejecting certain values, I guess, but I see the same issue.

If you are here for new content, ideas, discussion, meeting people you don't already know, it is fairly dead. I've said I like to look on current online users versus total clubs just to humor myself.

If the purpose is a sanctuary of sorts for people who are in the online forum rotting world but need a break from the more cess-y cesspits, I'd guess this place is perfect as is.

There won't be normie appeal. It's still incel adjacent, built on bp as a foundation and full of what normies consider racism and misogyny.

Why create this forum?

While there are many other forums out there which discuss the Blackpill and inceldom, there are no other notable forums which are dedicated to discussing the Whitepill and related topics.

What is the purpose of the discussion boards?

The topics of the discussion boards are geared towards helping facilitate the Whitepill ideals of individual self-fulfillment and self-development. As each individual has their own different goals and aspirations, registered users can create and participate in discussions pertaining to the relevant topics which suit their own needs and purposes.

If you are here for new content, ideas, discussion, meeting people you don't already know, it is fairly dead. I've said I like to look on current online users versus total clubs just to humor myself.

Oh I get you and those are good materials. I mean among the userbase. When you have a smaller userbase each person has more impact, and I get that figuring out what Whitepill means is part of the point. I see a mix of people completely rejecting blackpill, staying in agreement with blackpill but being more zen about it, supposed answers to life, some are basically still blackpill but use this as an extra forum, etc. I get that the messiness is part of it, but "a messy forum of people figuring out stuff after being elsewhere" is a tough pitch for that to be the main purpose of the forum. Hence my other point you agreed with about it being more of a sanctuary.

Why do you think that?

I see about 7-12 online members at any given time. I'd say there are maybe 20 consistent members online, with 5-10 doing most of the posting. A good amount of the content - in my observation - relies on knowing something about the poster or user, is often reposted to/from other forums, or references other forums, without background. It's not really a bad thing, just what it is. A spin on that is it's a sort of "best of" that filters the bs

Yeah, it's funny how this site brings in refugees and stragglers from other forums. The main focus is on the community here, but it doesn't mean that the few users here who are interested in the Whitepill can't post about it if they wanted to; that's what this forum was made for.

True. This forum is still young however, and I hope that number will only grow bigger.

I like the small community that this forum has, to be honest. As a user of looksmax.org, sometimes the amount of irrelevant conversations that didn't allow for any discussion about important things made me just use the forum to read-only looksmaxxing methods and then leave for a few weeks. I believe that this forum will gain members as time goes on, but it might not be as many as a forum like looksmax.org. Who knows? Only time can tell.

The reality of the matter is that the userbase is small, and its users come from other forums. To be clear, the reason for any idea of gatekeeping comes about is because a userbase that sets itself upon a idea (its main cause, premise or purpose) fears that another group of people will invade it and change the current tradition, this however can happen but in the context of the situation as a forum have already delt with that problem in part I.e. those who came from the looksmaxxing sphere of influence to which it was and is clear that this forum is not founded upon improving looks.

It is founded upon the acceptance of the reality of our current circumstance and establishes itself on universal and fundamental principle of how to proceed in life accepting that reproduction may never be possible for him. This site as mentioned is young, the userbase must be taught a new way of being because the old forums allow for brutish and barbaric mentalities against its own people.

What matters is making sure that the culture and environment established makes clear that solutions are presented and not one liners, that new ways of being & finding solutions to emotional & physical problems become or are established. That and to provide a learning environment for those who feared being able to have an opinion.

My opinion is as follows, do not fear change, do not fear new people walking in, rather learn to take new forms and evolve when circumstance demands. This forum has handled some barbarians already and it is up to us as a group to establish proper behavior and civil structure of how we operate. Otherwise, we are making progress, and in order to stay in the green we must establish a logical, coherent, and reasonable behavior structure that allows for us to be vulnerable, to learn and teach, and cooperate and evolve as people and as a group.

When a forum allows for dross to exceed quality of content then those whose opinion means little will be the majority, hence we must discourage users wanting to act on such impulses either by showing them our way of being or they leave. If we establish a learning environment where quality questions promising results are asked will allow those seeking advice to ask more questions and giving incentive to those making the question to respond & make more content in kind.

You know this is how forums used to be in the good old days right? You'd be lucky getting a response the same day let alone the same week.
Modern discussions that mostly consists of useless noise gave you a skewed view of what a healthy community looks like, go enjoy your hobbies instead of checking your bell notifications every 10 minutes.
