(⌐■_■)pango - who are you again?utopian
- It's the "Crush the Blacks" guyyuekit
- and what is the "crush the blacks" legend if I may so ask? :)eddieScissors
- not about race if you're curious. lolpango
- I dunno but sounds extremely offensiveyuekit
- so what are you talking about again? loleddieScissors
- whats the legend?eddieScissors
- too much work to find the thread. crush black is basically making shadows in videos completely black or something like that.pango
- but in QBN fashion, a complete shit show.pango
- https://24.media.tum…eddieScissors
- Yuri you cant hide your personality, just embrace it manmoldero
- @eddie Some guy, I guess it was not you, who ranted about "crushing the blacks" You'd have to ask him what he meant lolyuekit

Why is Boobs of the Day still a thread here?
- because apparently we absolutely must have at least three threads dedicated to posting soft porn images - it's a goddamn human right. apparently.Nairn
- Why indeedGnash
- Boobs of the day must go. Ass of the day - you’ll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!_niko
- The are plenty of places on the Internet to see boobs. It’s not adding anything here.Chimp
- If anything it detracts.i_monk
- ^ totallyGnash
- It's probably mostly users over the age of 50 complaining about sexy images. Sigh. What a bunch of whiners you are.NBQ00

Coronavirus has triggered an avalanche of spammers and trolls on QBN. The funny thing this is that the website is closed for new users except for by invite. I'm 100% convinced that moderator(s) knows...but does absolutely nothing.
- Site registrations are open generally again, no need for an invite. The single Mod I know of here these days does not, i imagine, want this shit eitherNairn
- So the mod, can't identify the IP or block the same troll over and over again?utopian
- Without knowing how the back-end here works, perhaps not.Nairn
- ok fine, i'll bite... how exactly am i a spammer or troll?vetements
- @vetements
how about an introduction?sted - Green name = green skin = trolli_monk
- ^lolduckseason
- Isn't green username = Irish? JKSimonFFM
- Everyone knows green means horny and money.monospaced
- aren´t they commies? red ones?neverscared
- blue users are old,
green are new,
whatever the username,
bobo we know it's you.renderedred - Vitamins seems ok so farmoldero
- Green lives matter!yuekit

Time to close the gate again?
If you're a legit lurker, hurry up and get in - might be your last chance for a while.
- Why? Because some QBNrs are crying cuz some bobos hurt their feelings on the interwebs?NBQ00
- Trying to kerb a certain posters ever growing multiple aliases?webazoot
- https://thumbs.gfyca…pockets
- qbn.com turning into qbnpro.com
Keep the gates open and disallow uncertified users to start new threadsdrgs - eg: https://www.qbn.com/…webazoot
- NBQ - ever wondered why a fuck ton of people have left qbn the last few years? Or rarely show up anymore?inteliboy
- Is there any way to coordinate signups outwith QBN itself - perhaps encouraging people to ask via a discord channel or something?Nairn
- Also - may I bluntly ask how many mods are active here these days? If there's only one, might you ask some other members to help out?Nairn
- "staff rotation" is natural and needed. Did someone rage quit in an internet argument? Fuck em. Replace them with someone newdrgs
- I ❤ QBN ('01) and there will always be spammers / trolls / sleepers. So, open or closed - it doesn't matter to me; they will be flagged. We will be watching...helloeatbreathedrive
- I asked to be a model years ago. I dont think there are any female mods. I'd definitely be the first female model of color. This place is a locker room.shellie
- moderatormonospaced
- why not both?Nairn
- We can do QBN pin up calendar later, let's solve the problem with spammersdrgs
- I vote drgs for xmas model on the QBN calendarNairn
- I've actually posted my nude pics twice, but only in subnotes, long time agodrgs
- oh jeez. really?
I thought only kuz had shown his knob on qbn. you're in good company, i guess?Nairn - Yeah let's create a safe space so we can all stop whiningNBQ00
- 2 down, need 10 more for a full calendar.
This conversation derailed in a weird waydrgs - www.qbnwoke.comdeadsperm
- Make all old-timers moderators, and open the gates to the maxdrgs
- Can I can be the first attack helicopter moderator?deadsperm
- NBQ, calm down, you can still post titsfadein11

- Make mods wash shellie's feet.deadsperm
- wutpango
- You know, as a sign of repentance.
https://firstinfreed…deadsperm - Post more design, art, type and animation work, post your own work, post your friends work.
Why would a young person want to come anywhere near this site?PhanLo - best songs of the 90's lists/threads are like being on facebook. I don't come here for a facebook experience.fadein11

i’ve been visiting this website since the early days of newstoday, almost two decades ago now... contributing here and there, but mostly just checking in periodically from afar. it’s sad to see that QBN seems to have evolved into this insular community where overzealous self-appointed gatekeepers greet every new person with distrust and derision.
- that's your introduction?sted
- yes, i also enjoy long walks on the beach.. maybe we can get to know each other better over dinner before you decide if i can post more or should get banned?vetements
- First you need to pay your dues:
• Comment in/on COTD
• Post a dad joke
• Diss at least one of the QBN deplorablesdeadsperm - That’s not how new users are treated. Just the new ones who shitpost immediately and troll like bigoted cunts. They are treated wi th distrust.monospaced
- hey, hi, hey.
may i ask who you were in a previous incarnation?Nairn - +1000
I think it's an age thing. Old fags who are set in their ways and mean to newcomersdrgs - Myself included, but I fight against itdrgs
- That's a very noble fight of yourpango
- so you're saying we're a bunch of old cunts? pretty accurate my friend.renderedred
- what's your view on 5g?renderedred
- Overclocked 4gdrgs
- lol @ stededdieScissors
- I am the same. I've been here a long time but am somewhat quiet on account of being a girl. These days QBN is depressing. I miss NewsTodayFawnDog
- fawn just pick NT on the menueddieScissors
- "How can you fit so much anger into such a tiny little box" is how NT was described to me before joining in 2008 and it still holds true now. Lol @ QBNcherub

- Can we all just learn to ignore that tedious prick? So fed up of Mountain Dew-fuelled stoner bores seeking attention.Nairn
- Starting to see some patterns. Perhaps mod u can clarify I am a person with my own opinions. I thinks obvious. But u know troll behavior betterdeathboy
- I'm sure it would make people feel more warm and fuzzy that thinking it's a homogenous community of single thought and I'm a troll outsiderdeathboy
- But best to remind aging adults people have difference of opinions and as an adult u learn to live with itdeathboy
- your viewpoints are hateful, ignorant and a disgrace to the human race. You can't really expect people to tolerate your specific brand of shitposting quietlymonospaced
- So if you can't be banned, just remember that nobody here wants you here. You're not welcome. You stink like shit.monospaced
- You're free to be an asshole, and we're free to consider you the worst human to grace our presence. So kindly, go fuck yourself to death. Seriously. To death.monospaced
- and who is the asshole?deathboy
- perhaps you should grow up.deathboy
- I admit I can be an asshole. But that isn't the issue here. You aren't welcome.monospaced

Too many racists.
Too many trolls.
Almost no design content.
QBN is dead.
- There are a couple. The rest of the content is the rest of us posting every negative thing that happens in the world and moaning about it.Fax_Benson
- every Trump indiscretion, every failure of capitlasim, every redneck at a rally, random's facebook meltdowns, the dregs of twitterFax_Benson
- the answer's always the same - post more stuff that's good to look at or interesting to read / discuss.Fax_Benson
- Do we not have a generic 'nice design thing i found today' thread? where do i post this?
https://www.instagra…Nairn - I actually wanted to post this earlier:
https://www.instagra…
but then got distracted.Nairn - When in doubt just post it in Pic (pick) of the Day, one of our most popular threads.deadsperm
- There's probably a Lettering thread but just post it on PotD and make everyone's life better.deadsperm
- This site is what we make it, but we have no power to remove the racistsnb
- We have always been fine with a little racism sprinkled here and there. Only now it's trending. Things should calm down in a month or so.deadsperm
- You mean, after the holocaust?Nairn
- LOLdeadsperm
- And this is why we can't have nice things.deadsperm
- There are definitely some people on this site with...I dunno...rage issues?
Best just to ignore them :)yuekit - I don't ignore racismnb
- And the whining continues. Where do you see blatant racism. Can you link to posts so we can have a look?NBQ00
- Be the change u want nb. U seem to care about other shitdeathboy
- This is supposed to be a design forum. Do we really need a PotD - Design? Design should be the default.
#rantdeadsperm - i dunno... i go to a few other sites for daily design news at this point, but I come here every day to catch up and see how you folks are doing :)exador1
- i may only post a few times a week, but i generally come here atleast once a day to check in... after 20+ years of being here...exador1
- It's gotten to be a funny enough place with some real characters etc... plus some of us have known each other a LONG time at this point...exador1
- plus, every once in a while there's some super quality stuff posted in the Useful thread... that stuff is pure gold.exador1
- We’re talking about deathboy right?monospaced

The reason why this place has become unbereable is less because of "Trolls" but because so many of you are whining and acting like babies. And the whole whining, complaining is creating an even more toxic environment here. Where some users act like elitists and want a safe space.
I have not seen any racism on here other than our "House Republicans" that have different views. Even robo hasn't posted any racist stuff. And Hayoth insulting us as "Commis" is just funny.
Seriously toughen the fuck up you pussies. It's not the first time you're on the internet, yes ?
- BusterBoy2
OK...so there's not enough design stuff here. And there are some racist, trolling dicks. But jesus, I think the fact this is a place where we can discuss ANYTHING is one of the great things about QBN.
When you allow free posting, there's always the occasional idiot...but I think the positives far outweigh the negatives.
The place has evolved...deal with it.

Hi!
For those who remember, I'm back.
I've been lurking basically since I've quit and even requested to register before registrations were open again.
Then I thought fuck it, it's enough just to follow the interesting threads but in the end I've also been following all the chaos here.
So before someone fucks it again with the registrations I decided to come back.
Besides, scarabin was here the other day and that was certainly one hell of a reason to come back.
Shame that some people also quit in the meantime but I totally understand.
The only thing that really changed in my life was the birth of my daughter.
It's been a beautiful challenge and I'm very happy and despite the lack of time to sleep and to keep doing what I love most because I'm in full parental leave while my partner is committed to her job and Phd..but I will certainly find a way to do my stuff.
So lets enjoy this!
- welcome back!Krassy
- "let's enjoy this"- Hells yeah!cherub
- wheeee!garbage
- Good to have you back.
Congrats on the birth of the wee one.PhanLo - woop woop!!oey_oey
- hi! welcome back to the ruckus!capn_ron
- Congrats and welcome back, if I remember correctly you were living in the German equivalent of chaz at one point no?_niko
- hey _niko, thanks! chaz like in capitol hill autonomous zone? or? well I live in a project with 50 adults and 20 children more or less in Lower Saxony.oey_oey
- thanks everybody by the way!oey_oey
- MQBNGAscarabin
- Welcome back and congrats on becoming a parent in the meantime! Do yourself a favor and pay no attention to the trolls :)lvl_13
- oey! :)sea_sea
- TheGreatGlorpo0
Just think about it - whoever DocPoz was that created all those accounts, is locked out again and is gonna be checking the site everyday for months or years to see when registration is open again, so they can pick up where they left off and troll on.
- Do we have to think about it?
Can't we just not?Nairn - damn, that was tight! registrations are gone!oey_oey
- after all this years...sometimes I think maybe he is Moderator and QBN also, he just doesn't know it and fights himself endlessly.uan
- Moderator created two "Attn: DocPoz" threads when all he seems to be looking for is attention. You might not be too far from the truth, uan.deadsperm
- moderator runs fight clubs at night.moldero
- Do we have to think about it?
- sarahfailin3
but who was yurimon?
- roboyurirdocpozomaha... are all the same person with same mind set, all losers, loners and broken douchebags.utopian
- We might never know. But if the copywriting was fabricated whoever was behind it is a genius.deadsperm
- yuri was docpoz, he cant hide his personalitymoldero
- hints to look for "free thinker" "joker memes" "radical lefty" "has no job so posts a lot" I didnt mind him & hes still aroundmoldero
- personally i think he is one of us old schoolers just taking a pissmoldero
- Don't go playing detective again, moldero.deadsperm
- oh and i forgot he also says "Don't go playing detective again, moldero."
