>but why does this one have requests?
Since /loomis/ would see art beggars every once in a while I felt it more appropriate that they had a single thread dedicated to them, so they can be redirected there. If you're the kind of artistic anon who likes to take on requests, you can check of them, if you think they're just freeloaders you can just hide the thread and be done with it.

"Drawthreads" here were always considered generic threads where people posted art they did and asked for criticism.

Well, despite saying all that, I think "Drawthread" is the name outsiders recognize as "the location to request things". Maybe editing the OP to say this isn't the usual /loomis/ drawthread could work. I don't know.

Anyways, I told a few drawfriends about this board reviving. You shouldn't advertise only on /v/'s cakehole. I don't see posts anywhere else, too.

On that note... Anything else I can do to make the board better for you?

Thank you so much. I wish to make this place as cozy as possible while waiting for another side project that may or may not involve several boards.
>You shouldn't advertise only on /v/'s cakehole. I don't see posts anywhere else, too.
I mainly did so because I'm sure drawfags from there pitched in on old /loomis/ from time to time and their own /loomis/ was a barren wasteland. Probably going to see if the guy who owns 8moe/loomis/ wants to cooperate with us, don't know much about him anyhow.

If the BO promoted this in bad places then the fix is already in and it's a matter of when instead if this boat is going to be rocked.
/v/ already had someone at the helm who didn't listen to his userbase and opened the doors to bad agents that ousted him, at least some of us can see something's up as for starters /loomis/ rarely had this much activity and people rarely discussed those sort of things, although it's early in the game and there's also almost no one feeling depressed like in the old place either.

Glad you liked the CSS, but it's not mine! Some intrepid anon has been making a splendorous one for quite a few iterations of the board. It truly feels like you're posting on a canvas, isn't it?
Ah right, the megas... I gotta be on the level with you: the starter packs are stuff that I find on drawthreads or online in general, they don't have any true rhyme or reason to them but they're fun to browse and occasionally you may find something that sticks out and really speaks to you. I'll update them right now, so check 'em.

If they get nuked, notify me.

Like many boards after the bunker saga, we are scattered. People who used /loomis/ might've just been so demoralized they gave up. Exploring the webring is the biggest casual filter in recent times. The fact we have around 4+ different sites to choose from doesn't make things better. Theoretically, the best solution is to just roost and nest somewhere, adding URL signatures to drawings we do and see if people wanna check it out. I don't know, I'm just throwing things out.

Hah, it is partially my fault for not keeping up with the advertising. Sadly some real life stuff came up two days after I got it started and it won't be over until Sunday. But rest assured, I'm not giving up on /loomis/ at all.

 Oh yeah, I'm not butthurt about it or anything. I was just surprised to wake up one day and find that my five year old board was quite successfully recreated elsewhere on several different websites.  I can tell the BO here cares about the board's purpose as much as I do and that's all that matters-you've all even contributed your own content to the overall design such as the spoilers which are really well done. I'm happy! 

 The only difference between us as far as I can tell is that I don't care for hosting local request threads, but I also understand that art requests are a big part of chan culture back to the beginning. I would rather see users-should they so choose-to fulfill requests purely out of self-interest and on other boards where they can bring positive attention to themselves and/or their social media.  An unpaid request is still a "transactional" thing in my opinion; the person who requested the art gets something they want with zero effort, you the artist whether you've spent ten minutes fulfilling the request or five hours should get something out of the deal as well, even if it's something as flippant as a few more (You)s, a new follower or two on Twitter or even a new long term poster on this board of yours by shouting it out on delivery. Unfortunately none of that can really happen if the request is fulfilled on the board itself. Just how I personally about it, I'm not telling anybody what to do or how to do it.

Anyway! Keep it up guys, I like what I see so far; I hope your board grows strong and lots of anons are able to improve their art. That's what it's all about.

Hello there, it seems i'm the NBO and i would like to thank the previous BO for trusting me the board. While i haven't been an active user since a long time ago, i can still say i browse to check on things.
Now it's obvious by now this place has been in disuse for some reason or another but i think there's still anons who don't really want to jump to the other site, so this thread is for them:

If you have any suggestion, comment or observation you can do so with all liberties here, in my opinion i think we should probably discuss what we want for the board and how we should do to promote our mutual feedback and activities in anon.cafe... or if users want it as a bunker for the other place, which can be understandable but that requires bunker status by the admins and a sort of "cold storage" status.
But still, if there's a single anon who wants to use this place formally once in a while, apart from me of course, then that idea will be discarded; my point is just a quick friendly discussion on what's on your mind(s) for this board. 
From my part it seems i will have to pump my practice dramatically and post much more often

Hey NBO, it me, OBO (Other BO or Original BO or what have you). I'm glad to see someone is still taking care of this place and believe me I take no satisfaction in the fact that it's been hard for our "brand" to attract a wider userbase once the original 8ddit started falling apart. I'm not sure if you were there from the beginning but post-exodus /loomis/ actually had a lot of activity and it's a damn shame where we're at today.

For the record I've never once said people can't post furry art or pony art or anything like that tbh, the one real rule over there is that I won't let beggars or excessive shitposters proliferate. I'm a pretty laid back guy and I don't like policing content if I don't have to. I don't "like" a lot of stuff but I don't consider myself a moral arbiter of whom should be able to draw what either if that makes sense.

As far as I know, all content flies over there.

Nothing has yet been censored, as it should be.
If people want to enforce some moral standard, they can go Artstation or so.

I honestly like this place more than 8chan.moe, because it's part of the webring  and there were other reason I forgot.

But I post on 8chan.moe, because it's not smart to fractionate a rather small community of effort posting artists, which tend to have already low PPH.

Although I'm already posting on nanochan and on 8chan.moe...

I'm torn between these sites.

>it's not smart to fractionate a rather small community

I strongly agree with this statement. However, because I'd ran and promoted the original 8chan board for many years-even through catastrophic technical issues-only to have every other option quietly claimed without so much as a word back on the original board I wasn't sure what to think or expect. If it was you ArtChad or APC or someone I knew and trusted doing it I would have been all-in, but given the circumstances-and that the former .net /v/ mod courted me directly over to his site .moe-I had little recourse other than to try and rebuild over there given that it seemed stable enough for our purposes.

To our detriment perhaps, I didn't follow any of the goings on with the 8chan community at large; I still don't really understand the significance of the webring or why .moe has been blacklisted from it to this day for example. One thing I had been musing about over the past months is paying a nice Indian fella on Fiverr or perhaps the guy that runs our Drawpile to make us our own single-board webring-friendly website using lynxchan or vichan, keeping the .moe and .cafe boards as respected backups, but I haven't really surveyed the others about this. Of course, NBO and the former BO from here would be more than welcome to participate in that project as well should it ever materialize-but I just have to guage everyone's interest.

Btw. I think a big part of why artists don't find >>>/loomis/ boards, is because of the name.
Like almost everyone I alsp started out on 4chan.org usin >>>/ic/. After realizing that 4chan is censored honeypot, I was looking for alternatives. But it seemed to me like only tech-savy people understood or cared about the state of 4chan, with the exception of 8chan.(org|net), which was destroyed. So I wandered around looking through lists of alt-chans and typing in the URL bar the string "/ic/" and I never got a hit. How would I know to look for "/loomis"?
Eventuallty I settled on an onion only imageboard called nanochan, after feds made sure to bully me out of the Retroshare community I build with a few other people, because of all the Tor traffic and other things that made them apparently really scared of me. (Btw. I was in a huge down because of that. But now I'm even stronger than before. I'm in full bloomer mode. I can only imagine how scared they are knowing that. I will show you. You will no longer be able to take me down. I'll build a giant community, which I will redpill and connect to other communities. We will create our own dezentralized net of sites, even if I have to give up my anonimity for that. I don't hate you. I don't think you hate me either. But be wary of what is to come.)
On this extremely tech focused imageboard called Nanochan I made an effort to create a place for me to share some art and maybe attract other artists or inspire people to draw.
And after a deal with the mods I drew anime catgirl image in exchange for the >>>/oc/ board (Although I hoped it would be an >>>/ic/ board.)
I was exstatic. I finally got a place that was not censored, has a working hidden servive, doesn't require javascript, doesn't require cookies and had a place for me to share what I create.
Shortly after I came across the webring, an effort to create a interconnected decentralized web of imageboard that would be resilient to focused attacks like the one one the original 8chan had experienced. People would already be accustomed to jumping between boards, because of how tightly integrated they are. 
So I found anon.cafe and while browsing the list of boards, I found something that sounded suspiciously like an art board "/loomis/".
I checked it out, and for real there it was an art board all along hidden in plain sight within a webring I previously never heard about.
So after that I checked weather 8kun.top had such a board, and I was astonished to find such a board with something called a "Drawpile".
"Drawpile" huh? Those tech-un-savy people use probably some proprietary software for their collaborative drawing. RMS didn't die for that.
"Oh, I can actually compile it myself and it includes less jewniggercock than Krita. And it even works with torsocks. Ok I underestimated your powerlevel."

And that's how I ended up there.

I don't want to be negative, but currently 8chan.moe gives me still some issues, but no site is perfect and as long as there's still a reasonable way to post there, I will.
8kun.top was way worse in comparison.

Well, this turned quickly into a little rant. ahahaha

But I think it might still be an interesting read for others.

Hallo there OG BO, easy to maintain the place as nothing much happens although i still need to up my game in drawing, haven't cleaned my desk and opened some books i have about architekshure. Also i promised time ago i would upload a basic library of PDFs now that some of those Mega links got down, didn't get them but i am making another. 
Should be before this year's done but i always say that lol.
>former .net /v/ mod courted me directly over to his site
Well i don't want to cause any drama so i will avoid that topic, i can only say some/most aspects about him are highly polarizing in most of the old userbase, no fractions appearing or lack of strong general disdain would be a surprise when his character appears in any conversation, or that's what i have seen.
>make us our own single-board webring-friendly website using lynxchan or vichan
That's very nice to hear, if so then the nature of this specific board might be more around as a sleeper bunker in case of a mishap, at least in a future. I have no problem returning the position if said thing happens so don't worry about a schism going on here, unless someone else gets involved dramatically which i doubt taking into consideration your history back in the old place.

Thank you for your offer in the project, i can't speak broadly for anons who are more eclectic in opinion but in terms of what i've gathered from the admins in most of the webring sites i think they believe decentralization is key, they would not only agree about a single-board site but even support it so no problems in webring integration or tech support from some. 
But in terms of security one would need extra precautions with a small site because those are either futile to attack or easy to take down, there's many weird freaks out there who like taking down small places who are just starting up, see SlothChan.
Also there's a factor which would cause aforementioned drama so i will avoid it... just want to say if there's a possibility of a plan to migrate threads to a new place then in my opinion i would make it secretive or ambiguous until it's done.

I thought that someone might misunserstand what I mean with "bullying".
People can write whatever they want to me, I have very thick skin.
The issue is when you start to hack in to my machines and fuck up my files. That's what I mean by bullying. A bully doesn't only insult you. He steals your shit, destroys it and does whetever to make you sad in order to feel superior, because of his deep inferiority complex and his childhood traumata.
This whole technological world is under ((( their ))) control. It's just a matter of money and time to take something down.

> avoiding nudity
Are you serious?
If we already have this low effort spam-looking thread, then we can also use it to discuss this topic.

What's so wrong about nudity?
It's the nature of humans and living matter.
The sexual organs are just another part.
As I see it, the one claiming that displaying genitals is shameful, is himself someone who is shameful.
He spreads evil in the world.
Evil which hurts people.
If people weren't conditioned into believing that the naked body was to be looked down upon,
we wouldn't have all these issues. Also a lot of degeneracy would just disappear as a consequence.

How does a man even dare to look down at Gods creation.
The insolence.

P.S.
If you read this message, please post a notice on 8chan.moe/loomis that I migrates here.
It's always the same with glownigger sites. And if the site is not a glownigger site, it becomes a glownigger site when it gets too popular.
Pic related shows that I was right about LynxChan derivatives requiring a captcha.
It doesn't even work properly. I'm already sitting here for 15minutes trying to get this to work.
Looks like they finally admitted it and now go the glowing route Kohlchan went down.
"You have a valid block bypass."
It still needs validation. "
"Please download this glow-script and run it on your machine."
If I manage to make this message somehow goes through, well...fuck this site. I'm out.
(I didn't manage to make it go through their new system, so I post this on anon.cafe.
I'll retreat to anon.cafe/loomis and ask the current admin there to give me mod priviledges.
Someone with enough recources should just finally host an imageboard that could be integrated into the webring and isn't cancer.
zzzchan managed to do it. smuglo.li also works. anon.cafe also works. (even though anon.cafe also uses LynxChan)

I don't mind cleaning but a more through job by someone who was a constant old user seems like a better deal, yet this part puzzles me.
How are you planning to do such thing? while it's always good to have new blood the thing is that they should be brought in little by little and hammered into being like us, or like most of us. Right now we don't have a lot of activity and such molding of them would be very hard, if there's something i love from this board and the surrounding ones is the easygoing users who are also not pushovers (bare exception maybe those who went to 8moe).

I'm going to start posting here instead of on 8chan.moe. I'm hesitant about potentially splitting up an already fractured community, but .moe's days are numbered. Keeping the 8chan name is only going to increase the site's notoriety and attract either people who want to destroy the site or people who read about 8chan in the news (read: underageb&s). The name puts a target on the community and serves no other purpose than to remind us of a past to which we can never return. There's also some brewing metadrama involving pedophiles, and their continued presence on the site is a liability. Regardless of how radical your ideas about free speech are, a large population of pedos is only going to encourage more attacks against the site. On top of all that, there's also some reasonable concern over the site's administration. I don't really know very much about Acid or Codexx or their intentions. I think Mark is mostly an incompetent BO who at least means well. That said, I don't post on /v/ too often, so I don't have much to say about his moderation style.

I might make a final post on .moe to let other anons know that at least a few people are deciding to make the jump. I think it will be better for users to migrate long before disaster strikes and regrouping becomes much more challenging.

I don't mind only being a tvol. (I know that term from Nanochan. I've never been a mod before, so I don't know if other imageboards use the same terminology.) 

To contribute banner, I don't need any priviledged position.

I think this went over my own head. I do not know how to make you an account that satisfies your standards nor could i decrypt that due to my retardness of op-sec.
I can add you as a vol via an already existing username, created via e-mail, captcha and password, then add the needs you request via the BO magic buttons.
The man that can help you with the private oeprations with no one knowing is around the /meta/ board in some of the non-autosaging threads, these days he's around and active due to some fedposts in /k/. They take some time to respond but do reply sooner or later, i wager they might tell you the same as i do, that is to manually create such account with your personal needs; it is easy but don't know how to secure in terms of real security standards.

Then you wtite a message in a different file and encrypt it using the previously imported public key.

The resulting .asc (ASCII-armored) file can then be copy pasted publicly on the imageboard, because only I can decrypt it, because I'm the only one who has the private key(in theory).

Anon's right, a migration from .moe can't happen without actually telling people. It'd be worthwhile to compile a summary of grievances and concerns, since I suspect many of the anons who still post there are the kind of anons that don't really pay much attention to goings on and the site as a whole; they are mostly concerned with having a somewhat active community.

Off the top of my head
>Mark spoke with journalists about 8chan for 100 bucks, allowing himself to be used by the media to create a negative image of 8chan and to attract the absolute worst kind of attention to the website. 
>Mark has a long and storied track record of terrible moderation practices on /v/
>Mark continues to advertise the website on Twitter
>Keeping the 8chan name brings no benefit to the users and will only lead to attention from the media and normalfags
>Appeasing a community of pedophiles and repeating the same mistakes from the website's history
>Still hasn't properly integrated the webring plugin, leaving webring boards buried on the boardlist under a pile of dead boards.

The software doesn't allow me to post. That's all for me.
I also want to support anon.cafe, because this place has a comfy community.
And the webring benefits from it as well.

Very well, i am going to finally nuke the place with a new image and unofficial name, perhaps /draw/, due to the next reasons:

a) A board to start "anew", a CSS to "fit" what hypothetical newcomers (all 2 or 3 of them) might see as something not quite related to the current image
b) Said current image being from a distinctive board which, for some reason i haven't really deciphered after lurking just a bit in the .moe place, has shat on us here despite previous good natured interactions from their side and i think from ours. I have my theories but they seem petty for the perceived backlash, from my point of view, so might as well forget.
For the sanity of every party involved we might as well ramify into another direction to avoid further gear grinding, whatever the causes were and what better than this than amicably stop using what they consider "their" image/legacy or, at least what i understand, their BO's ideas. I respect this but i do also think many some a couple of us still are in the right to avoid using sites of dubious reputation like .moe, hence our once righteous position of staying instead of what some may perceive as trying to divide.
c) To refocus the subject, which should be more general. Currently it is general but the culture permeates it as artistic human figures. A new face might change perception.

In this procedure i will take the next steps:
1) Archive every thread so far, first capping everything in .png form and then saving individual files
2) Selecting a few that will stay up and then delete the rest
3) Probably start a couple of threads to fit what the hypothetical activities or archives will be
4) Make the CSS itself, which i suppose will be based on a paper grid pattern using in beginner's drafting, then put some new text here and there
5) And use it once in a while to serve a more general usage, Drawing, Drafting & Design of most everything, both on paper and in software and 2D/3D, and not really focused on human figures and artistic drawing but everything that the hypothetical users will like to discuss.

Seems overly detailed for such a small venture but many did use this place before so might as well be respectful and planned about its memories. Obviously this is open to discussion if someone gets to read this somehow so i will probably start actually doing the deleting in a week's time or maybe a wee bit later to wait for something somehow.

 I'd like to apologize for any misunderstandings that had taken place in the recent past, but I have zero antipathy towards this board or the people on it; I do not think of our boards as competitive with one another and I'm sorry if that impression was ever given. Especially after having spoken to the original BO directly not too long ago, any initial questions or uncertainties I had about the existence of this board had long since been answered. Going forward you can do as you please of course, but I just don't want there to be any undue animus about this subject in particular.
I don't post on this board, but I found a Loomis Urbit group. Does anyone here have anything to do with that group, or is that not an uncommon thing?

Hello! I am the new board owner, croquis. This board has been through quite a lot over the past couple of years, and I would LOVE to restore it back to how it was. Unfortunately it's in quite a scattered state right now, and until I have a plan to get everything in order I'll just be posting here.
With that in mind, here are the biggest issues I see right now:
>Merging threads into each other/QTDDTOT/deleting unnecessary ones
>Restoring dead links for references, tutorials, guides, etc. (all the Mega links in the OP are empty, except for the drawthread resources)
>Consolidating guides/references into one place for easy access
If you have any suggestions, please reply and let me know.
Replies: >>1668 >>1671
>>1667
I don't think thread consolidation is necessary.  Making a QTDDTOT and encouraging small questions to be posted there can help to focus eyeballs on them, but it can also stifle people from making new threads and give the board the impression of being very stale.  Admittedly I haven't used /loomis/ at all in years so I don't know what passes for speed around here, but I think that anything that gets in the way of anons just talking about stuff would discourage them from posting.

I think running a weekly drawing club check-in could help anons to keep themselves accountable, but that also requires you be accountable.

The board CSS background image is broken as it's an old imgur image.
If you want to fix it, you need to replace the imgur url in the CSS.

I probably should have been more clear that you only needed to change the background bit as the other lines in the CSS are important. That is unless you meant to remove the other bits of the theme?

Glad this board got transferred, didn't post much on cafe but I'll try to be a little active here.
it has come to my attention that the css on this board is terrible. i typically just use one of the stock dark themes so i never see it anyways, however i am also terrible with css. so if anyone would like to edit the custom css i have to get it working again and share it that would be great.
ignore the anon.cafe link in there, it's been replaced already.

Go to body, go to "color" and change it to     "color: #fafafa;" so at least the default CSS is usable. I'll work on making something nice if someone doesn't beat me to it, but let's at least do that for now.

This. I use default CSS on all boards because I like the flavor.
So obviously I wasn't around for it but can anyone tell me WTF happened with this thread? >>719 Especially at the end. My takeaway: everyone who could draw gets together to doodle on some app. At some point, someone makes their own image board? forum? who the fuck knows with hookers and blackjack and shit. Everyone who can or wants to draw fucks off to there. Owner of said site asks cafe mod to please remove his site link so no one can say they ever had anything to do with heckin problematic alt-chan cafe. Mod is a bitch and complies. Thread (and probably board, too) dies. Did I get it right?
Replies: >>1771
>>1770
Not so much that the mod was a bitch or something, he is/was an OG of the board and complied because things went belligerent out of nowhere due to outside drama.
Board did die but the users in that new site (which is now dead) i highly suspect came from different sites altogether along with being somewhat aggressive for no reason, saw that when i lurked there while shit happened and i never knew exactly why it happened in the first place.
