This honestly starts to feel pointless sometimes, but I need to reiterate: spread the word! There are only 94 of you online at the moment. If all of you tell ONE PERSON, we could have 188 people online! I hardly think one person is unreasonable. ? 7 months (2009-10-13 19:20:?? UTC)
New setting/feature: "Iron cookie jar mode" (dashboard). If enabled, your important cookies are marked as "secure" in your Web browser and thus refuse to be sent over HTTP if you accidentally switch to it or get linked to it sneakily from a third-party Web site or something like that (quite possible). Normally, this is allowed, although AT warns you if you load a Web page through HTTP after using HTTPS. With this mode, you only get a minimal message and no cookies are sent from your computer to the server. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-13 19:12:?? UTC)
Ignore the trolls! Do NOT respond to them, no matter how tempting; this only validates their efforts! ? 7 months (2009-10-13 11:43:?? UTC)
Stop this @OP bullshit when the only poster you are refering to is the original poster. It's fine if you're citing a lot of other posters and you want want to reference the OP at the bottom of the post, but otherwise you're wasting space and time and making the board look messy. ? 7 months (2009-10-13 08:13:?? UTC)
When you are not replying to OP, use the quote or cite functionality! If you don't, it becomes very hard to tell which one of the posts in the thread you are replying to. ? 7 months (2009-10-13 07:46:?? UTC)
Don't call everyone trolls because you don't agree with them. It ruins discussions. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-13 07:30:?? UTC)
After careful consideration, drafts are now also saved whenever a post fails to post. This was decided since any successful publishing of a post now removes the relevant drafts. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-13 07:04:?? UTC)
Protect your fucking internal IDs properly. I'm not going to believe that your retarded friends took over your IDs much longer. (This was apparently the case with the last one, who I decided to believe.) Sysop 7 months (2009-10-13 04:33:?? UTC)
Why not tell the world at large about AnonTalk? Some of you don't, but I'm sure a lot of you use traditional online forums besides AnonTalk. Why not put a link to AT in your signature? It'll hardly take up any space, and it will get more users to the site. ? 7 months (2009-10-12 17:06:?? UTC)
There are eighty eight of you online, this is pathetic. Spread the word! Use Digg, delicious, and other social networking sites if you have to! ? 7 months (2009-10-12 15:05:?? UTC)
The watchlist now shows when the last reply was made in the watched topics. (I've thought about this for a long time and was basically just waiting for somebody to wish for it so that I would have an excuse to add it, which finally happened today…) Sysop 7 months (2009-10-12 13:49:?? UTC)
Stop referring to "the government". Tell us which government. Stop referring to "our country". Tell us which country. Not everybody lives in your country, or even understands to whom you refer when you say, "the government". ? 7 months (2009-10-12 13:21:?? UTC)
Somebody who's been here for almost half a year with hundreds of perfect posts suddenly posted a reply consisting of "lol no". He/she got it removed and was banned. Eh. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-12 10:49:?? UTC)
I still see people going by poster letters. Don't do that, it will look confusing if a post gets deleted and refer to the wrong post. ? 7 months (2009-10-12 02:50:?? UTC)
I'll never understand why some posters bother hanging around here to post a few quality topics and not too few quality replies, only to then go "SYSOPSS A FAGET LOLOLOLLOOLO" all of a sudden and get rapidly banned, of course keeping the good posts. I want to think that they are just careless and get their IDs taken over by moronic school/work buddies or siblings or something when they leave their computers unprotected… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-12 00:47:?? UTC)
Drafts are now immediately deleted when you actually publish a topic or reply — no more annoying left-overs! Sysop 7 months (2009-10-11 07:13:?? UTC)
Missed the "Events" main menu link too much — brought it back for now (but placed it differently). It'd be nice if many more events were added, though. If something interesting happens every day, the section really will serve a purpose. For some reason, I really like that feature and want it to be useful… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-11 06:23:?? UTC)
Use image hosting Web sites for linking to images. (Or have your posts deleted…) ? 7 months (2009-10-11 01:56:?? UTC)
Feel free to "spread" polls and topics. Help spread the word! Keep AnonTalk alive! ? 7 months (2009-10-10 18:25:?? UTC)
Removed "Events" from the main menu and instead put it under "Stuff". Sysop 7 months (2009-10-10 14:12:?? UTC)
http://88.80.21.12/why_you_cannot_refer_to_poster_letters ← This may clear things up to some… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-10 11:17:?? UTC)
Remember AnTs; tell your friends about us! ? 7 months (2009-10-10 08:04:?? UTC)
Stop posting "Lockerz" bullshit! No one wants to see this spam. Go spam somewhere else! ? 7 months (2009-10-09 22:46:?? UTC)
I just discovered that if you update your custom "ignore list" with more than one item, all but the first are ignored and do not enter the list properly. I cannot believe that this hasn't been reported for so long. This bug must have been around for… uh… almost as long as the feature has existed! It's amazing that people seem to think that errors will magically fix themselves… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-09 21:37:?? UTC)
When you're quoting somebody, your answer to the quoted message is not supposed to be quoted! It makes it really hard to read. ? 7 months (2009-10-09 21:36:?? UTC)
This site is about free speech. That encompasses EVERYONE. Every. Single. Person. Stop asking Sysop to censor people that go against your own personal agenda. ? 7 months (2009-10-09 20:30:?? UTC)
Please respect the OP's wishes about who may and may not post in a thread. Explaining why you think they're wrong for instructing you not to post will get you reported for abuse. ? 7 months (2009-10-09 13:55:?? UTC)
Less than 50 people on-line… this is a new low. Under 100 is way too low. Under 150 is too low. 150+ is passable. 200+ is OK. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-09 07:50:?? UTC)
This is serious now. You need to start helping out. You can't just expect me to do everything. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-09 06:57:?? UTC)
You need to start spreading the fucking word to non-retards already. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-09 06:16:?? UTC)
Seriously… is this some kind of joke? Where is all the quality traffic? Sysop 7 months (2009-10-09 04:20:?? UTC)
It is not at all helpful for you to respond to a question with a reference or link to google, and the rules specifically forbid it. If you can't make a helpful, on-topic response, don't respond! ? 7 months (2009-10-09 01:42:?? UTC)
Stop making shitty headlines. It's not rocket science. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-08 22:17:?? UTC)
How fucking hard is it to just stick to the fucking topic? Unbelievable. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-08 20:28:?? UTC)
Stop assuming that people know what you mean by your vague references. Who the hell is "Vicky"? This board has no "theme". Sysop 7 months (2009-10-08 20:12:?? UTC)
What the fuck is up with this "omitting of the space before opening parenthesis" trend? I keep seeing it. Example: "Mary had a little(fluffy) lamb." Sysop 7 months (2009-10-08 16:17:?? UTC)
Remember to report people who use bad grammar or go off-topic. Don't just think that somebody else will report them, it takes more than one report before a bad post is actually looked at, and the sooner posts are reported and removed, the better. ? 7 months (2009-10-07 21:12:?? UTC)
You'd think that you too would want more people to come here… yet you don't seem to help me out in any way. How nice it is to be so appreciated for giving you the best Web site ever for free… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-07 15:07:?? UTC)
And why are you not submitting any events? This is extremely strange. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-07 06:47:?? UTC)
Why are you still not spreading the word? Sysop 7 months (2009-10-07 00:39:?? UTC)
I hate this "Whac-A-Mole" game of banning endless "short URL" services. (The latest one, BTW, even states "Hide your affiliate URLs" as a "feature"…) Sysop 7 months (2009-10-06 23:57:?? UTC)
Good job everyone, you are following the rules nicely. See how great this place is? ? 7 months (2009-10-06 23:50:?? UTC)
It's quite lovely to browse AT and see quality headlines and perfect grammar and spelling. Have we finally banished all of the retards? :-) ? 7 months (2009-10-06 23:19:?? UTC)
I'm getting rather sick of posters calling each other "retards" and punctuating every sentence with the word "fuck". This place is meant to be for intelligent debate, not childish tantrums. Calm down! ? 7 months (2009-10-06 15:33:?? UTC)
Pressing enter at random
points in a sentence makes your posts both
hard to read and
ugly to look at.
STOP DOING IT.
? 7 months (2009-10-06 12:41:?? UTC)
To those asking legal questions: it is virtually impossible to give you a worthy answer unless you mention which jurisdiction your question pertains to. ? 7 months (2009-10-06 12:36:?? UTC)
Stop writing "it's" when you mean "its". Jesus fucking Christ. ? 7 months (2009-10-06 12:10:?? UTC)
Use a SPACE after commas and periods. Jesus… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-06 05:01:?? UTC)
Don't post "whooops" or "my bad" replies to your own replies — proof-read carefully before posting in the first place. You can afford a few extra seconds. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-06 04:36:?? UTC)
According to the Folks section, there are over 100 people online at this very second. I want every single one of you to make a (real, correct, worthwhile) topic, right now. I know every single one of you has something on their minds that they want to express. Go make one. ? 7 months (2009-10-05 22:36:?? UTC)
Annoying: retards who point out "grammatical errors" that aren't actually errors at all, but simply grammar too advanced for their limited knowledge. Even more annoying: retards who start agreeing with the other retard, apparently unable to grasp the basics of the comma (in this case). Then again, what can be expected by 16-year-old ban-evading "chan" trolls whose biggest literary achievement is to skim through their "World of Warcraft" manual? Sysop 7 months (2009-10-05 20:36:?? UTC)
When composing poll responses, please be sure that your choices are mutually exclusive (not overlapping) and exhaustive (covering all possible answers; an "other" response may help). It's frustrating to read a poll and not be able to answer. ? 7 months (2009-10-05 19:40:?? UTC)
Please stop trolling. ? 7 months (2009-10-05 18:57:?? UTC)
WHY do you keep posting garbage/nonsense instead of proof-reading it at least once before publishing? WHY do you make me sit and delete your posts manually, messing up topics, writing PM after PM, dealing with your confused questions about why your posts were deleted, you obviously not even re-reading your own posts after they get deleted? A bunch of rude, lazy, cheap bastards — that's what you are! Sysop 7 months (2009-10-05 15:47:?? UTC)
The traffic here just never grows. It actually shrinks. What the fuck is going on here? Sysop 7 months (2009-10-05 15:27:?? UTC)
It's truly un-fucking-believable that you idiots can't stay on-topic. If a poster starts a topic about how X is Y, you do NOT talk about X in general. RESPECT THE OP'S INTENTIONS OR MAKE YOUR OWN, SIMILAR TOPIC! Jesus. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-05 04:16:?? UTC)
How can there be so insanely few non-retarded people using this global computer network? We need to get them all here. Seems like you never spread the word, though… or bother donating. Or buy an ad. It's hard to do everything on my own with absolutely no help or support to speak of. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-05 02:51:?? UTC)
Pretending to be the OP of another person's topic WILL get you banned. Unbelievable… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 23:28:?? UTC)
The YouTube video "fancifier" tool in the toolbox has been improved in several aspects: it no longer gets confused by messy YouTube URLs and it now allows you to easily select where in the video it should start. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 22:30:?? UTC)
Fixed a left-over bug with the ordinary abuse report feature which would give the reporter a nonsensical message about already having reported the poster sometimes. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 20:44:?? UTC)
Every single one of you can think of a poll question right now. I know all of you can. Think one out, and then go make one. Then answer a few. The polls do not make/answer themselves, and your laziness is making the Polls section a lot less useful. (If you are active in Polls, you know who you are. You can safely ignore this message.) ? 7 months (2009-10-04 17:34:?? UTC)
You should already have good spellchecking. It's called common sense. Use it. ? 7 months (2009-10-04 15:34:?? UTC)
Perhaps the biggest problem with this place is that there are so many morons who are eager to reply, but who reply with low-quality JUNK, without properly reading the OP's post, often ignoring damn near every rule in the book as well. I have to babysit topics as often as I find the time/energy, removing crap before everyone starts replying to it and derailing the topic beyond help. It's INSANE that you just can't stick to the topic, be helpful and compose correct (NOT necessarily "fancy"!) texts… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 13:08:?? UTC)
Why are you determined to kill AT? Just look at the polls… extremely low activity there. And topics are posted way too seldom. Junk traffic is worse than no traffic, though, because it only adds extra work — so get some sharpies here smartly! Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 12:56:?? UTC)
OK. What do I need to do to get you to stop posting garbage? I hate deleting posts and sending PMs to you all the fucking time. It's a huge waste of time. It's been said before and it's as true now as it was then: this is not "rocket science"… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 03:39:?? UTC)
Do NOT reply to incorrect posts. They WILL be deleted, and then your post(s) will be deleted as well. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 03:32:?? UTC)
Trimmed the "rules summaries" significantly. They probably did more damage than good by highlighting only a few points as the most important, causing newbies to falsely think that they can pretty much get away with ignoring the rest. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 03:22:?? UTC)
So many fucking idiots who keep re-posting the same error-filled junk even after being asked to fix it. It's unbelievable. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-04 02:55:?? UTC)
Fixed an obscure, potential, low-damage privacy "hole" by adding some placebo. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 23:42:?? UTC)
How can you be so fucking lazy and rude as to not even proof-read your posts? Do you have any idea how much time is lost deleting posts with typos in them? You fuck everything up by posting these crappy posts, especially when people start responding to them. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 23:20:?? UTC)
The "toolbox" now houses the image uploader. The "upload image" page now redirects to the toolbox. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 22:10:?? UTC)
Any mention of "Lockerz invites" = immediate ban. No exceptions. Idiots. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 21:30:?? UTC)
To type an accented letter "e" (é), hold down the "Alt Gr" key while pressing "e". This will help you to avoid having your posts reported and deleted when you spell "Pokémon™" incorrectly. ? 7 months (2009-10-03 21:05:?? UTC)
Typing "Lol" or "lol" (as in "LOL") will get you banned without the slightest hesitation. Don't fucking do it. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 19:50:?? UTC)
Try spreading some polls ( especially polls), events and topics to big sites using the "Spread" features… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 19:45:?? UTC)
"Unfortunately, since I'm neither Sysop nor a wise guy, I can't do anything about [the misspelt headline to a topic that some retard posted], and it's bugging me every time I see it!"

Yes you can: You can report it. This kind of shit is what the reporting system is there for.
? 7 months (2009-10-03 14:25:?? UTC)
Message to all retarded trolls: Pick a different "target" already — absolutely nothing that you say or do is going to get rid of the best site on the Web. It should be pretty clear by now, even to you. In fact, you're only making me even more determined to keep running (and improving) it. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 03:09:?? UTC)
The name of the site is Anon Talk. The proper capitalization is at the top of every single page that you load on the site. Is it so hard to press the Shift key in the middle? "Anontalk" is inappropriate. ? 7 months (2009-10-03 02:44:?? UTC)
Donations and word-spreading needed. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-03 02:12:?? UTC)
Speeded up the "proxy checks" and whatnot for whitelisted posters. If you are in the minority of users who have to wait a long time for posts to be posted after submitting them, this issue should now be gone if you get yourself whitelisted (or if you are already whitelisted). It would be interesting to hear if this actually fixed anything… Sysop 7 months (2009-10-02 22:37:?? UTC)
So many potential quality topics reported and deleted because the fucking IDIOT OP didn't even proof read the fucking headline… ? 7 months (2009-10-02 19:29:?? UTC)
Memes are for Retardchan, not Anontalk. ? 7 months (2009-10-02 17:06:?? UTC)
Proof read, proof read, PROOF READ. Fucking IDIOTS. ? 7 months (2009-10-02 13:44:?? UTC)
Do not respond to posters who senselessly accuse other posters of a sexual preference. Do not respond to flamers and those who only insult the posters they're citing. These people are invariably trolls. Do not respond to trolls. ? 7 months (2009-10-02 07:04:?? UTC)
How many fucking times do we need to tell you? Stop feeding the fucking trolls! Fucking idiots! ? 7 months (2009-10-02 05:05:?? UTC)
Stop with this fucking "Goldberg"/"Fritzl" meme. If you want to make a forced meme, go to Retardchan where you belong. ? 7 months (2009-10-02 01:18:?? UTC)
You just don't get it, do you? Off-topic reply = ban. How fucking hard is it to stick to the topic? Sysop 7 months (2009-10-02 00:59:?? UTC)
Due to the fact that nobody ever better themselves, this board no longer has a concept of temporary ID bans — they are all permanent. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-01 22:01:?? UTC)
Whenever there is any good flow here, some worthless cunt starts DDoS attacking the server. Unbelievable. Sysop 7 months (2009-10-01 15:32:?? UTC)
As requested, "bloat mode" now shows the topic post as a "reference box" if you don't cite any reply when you compose a new reply. (Whenever you get a blank page returned instantly, that means I've temporarily fucked something up and it will be fixed within seconds or minutes.) Sysop 7 months (2009-10-01 00:41:?? UTC)
I hope everyone is having a good day. It will soon be October, and ever closer to AT's second birthday. Should we celebrate? ? 7 months (2009-09-30 22:41:?? UTC)
Did some more server upgrading. Will do the rest another day. Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 22:33:?? UTC)
Stop calling the OP "TC"… Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 22:00:?? UTC)
New feature: "Hawk mode". This is pretty much the same as the old "spoiler mode" which was removed a while ago, except it only adds the snippets in the "topics" section. Useful for troll spotting. Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 18:24:?? UTC)
You seriously have something wrong in your head if you spend significant time harassing the best site on the Web and even pretend to be a genuine poster only long enough to be able to post a bunch of fake topics. Those of you who do this need professional help and are more mentally ill than the so-called "pedophiles" that you think that you target by doing this will ever be. Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 18:15:?? UTC)
And stop replying to shitty replies that will be deleted. Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 17:50:?? UTC)
Acknowledging trolls will get you banned and shitlisted. How can I make this any more clear, you dumb fucks? And don't fucking create topics with headlines containing "(not troll)" — they will be deleted and you will be removed. Retards. Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 17:48:?? UTC)
So many fucking retards out there. It's unbelievable… Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 17:41:?? UTC)
It's a bit sad that those of you helpful people who abuse report trolls until they get caught and removed never get the satisfaction of knowing that it's actually been done, unless you keep extremely good track of all topics, which is very unlikely. Just know that it happens. Sysop 7 months (2009-09-30 01:59:?? UTC)
Are the trolls here so retarded they can't even pretend to come up with topics that look genuine? What could you possibly gain out of trying to get a cheap rise from people? Try spending your energy and thought on genuine topics, I'm sure there's something you can express here. ? 7 months (2009-09-29 19:38:?? UTC)
