If (You) don't like something then post what (You) like instead

This board is an archive of threads that would otherwise have been slid and pruned (deleted). If you have a thread you'd like saved, post in the /meta/ thread at >>>/anthro/ with a thread you'd like a mod to save.

We furgive (You), anon. 
Life has always been busy these days.

Although, it wouldn't be fair to rely on one poster to carry this whole project.

I think this endeavor has suffered from possibly just a lack of time on everyone's part & maybe just a lack of interest generally. However, I think there's also a lack of executive action. But I also think we want to keep this as decentralized & leaderless as possible. Thus, I've created this charter establishing a decisionmaking mechanism. Obviously, rules only matter if they're respected and I recognize the infurmal nature of this endeavor. Therefure, many of these rules hinge upon common sense & leave much up to "reason". It may be used fur both executive & legislative decisionmaking but there is no "judicial" enfurcement system. That's intentional. That way there's some breathing space & room fur interpretation. This way, rules like stylistic guidelines may be occasionally broken without any fuss. This is primarily meant to allow fur disputes & large decisions to be handled gracefully & democratically. If all is agreed, then:

1. All participants are allowed to open or reopen a reasonable issue (qualm, dispute, or request) at any moment.
2. Issues are labeled with sequential issue numbers & recorded.
3. Propositions may be made, rescinded, edited, or merged during a reasonable window of time immediately after the issue is opened.
4. Once the proposition window is closed, propositions are to be compiled & labeled with the corresponding issue number & a sequential letter, then recorded.
5. Once all propositions are compiled & labeled, the voting window opens fur a reasonable amount of time.
6. In addition to all propositions, a void option shall always be included, allowing an issue to be closed without resolution.
7. If only one proposition is compiled, the poll shall be allowed to be a simple majority vote. Otherwise, Condorcet voting shall be used.
8. Permanent provisions enacted shall be recorded in a modifiable Code.
9. Propositions may alter, add to, or subtract from these Rules.

I don't really have much to add with what I elaborated on the highlights and features.

I guess I could make up scenarios fur the wild encounters article. I would need to read up some fun animal facts or something fur it (maybe).
The first issue I'd like to open is deadlines. Should we set a deadline fur submissions or simply allow submissions to trickle in and then call it when we feel there are enough to compile into a magazine? I suppose those are two embedded propositions, aren't they?

>simply allow submissions to trickle in and then call it when we feel there are enough to compile into a magazine

So far, that didn't really work since there wasn't enough drive fur submissions to come in.
I don't think this thread is going anywhere.
If we do want something out of this, I think just setting a deadline and collecting whatever posters submit to the thread until the time is up. It should be under a theme so it doesn't seem completely random.
Okay, so no need to take this to voting. I think it's unanimously agreed we need a deadline fur submissions. The issue therefure changes to: when is the deadline?

Yes, (I) am still interested. 
I'm just very sad to see this thread die.
I've seen this thread bump time to time , and I've seen a lot of ideas that dont make it pass through concepts. I wanna try to give a hand in this if there's enough people still interested
In order fur this thread to happen someone has to make something and post it, then others will join once they see its happening

It should also be simple enough to understand fur most posters.

The problem with this thread originally was the goal was too complex and seemed to be too much of a workload fur most people.
Replies: >>10868

I made this thread because everyone else was like
>we furs should make a magazine but it wont be (me) to start the thread
so I just made it rough because I thought nyaggas would actually join in
Replies: >>10869

Fur the record, I'm not blaming you fur anything.

I guess a better way to say it is that thread evolved to be unfocused and too complicated to motivate anyone to make it happen.

Replies: >>10871

If you really want this to happen, my sugesstion is to make a new thread, and start a magma page with magizine furmating. Get like a basic outline together and let other furs input.

What about the writing doe?

There's very few writefags here.
Replies: >>10873
>>10872
I can write some shit if you want, and I know another guy on here who likes to write. You just need to have something people can start messing with. Again just start with a basic layout and furs will fill in as it goes.
Replies: >>10874
>>10873
would this still be the basic layout? >>10838
or should we simplify things?
Replies: >>10875
>>10874
That can work but you need a magma page going so the pieces can actually be put together. As it stand we're going back and furth in text. Layout means actually drawing boxes and placing stuff where you want it. You dont need to be a drawfag to setup the page fur people to do it but people need small tasks they can do rather than a whole thing.
Replies: >>10877
>magma page
i think the magma page fur the magazine is still online
Replies: >>10877
>>10876
it is, but most people like to work async so having one anon good with design just post a template >>10875 with marginz and padding defined would let other anons create their own pages to be later mixed together
The con is won't be guaranteed to have the same vibe throughout the magazine,  but the pro is every page will be unique

start making pages like this
So, thus far, we have 3 officially interested persons.
>>10859
The current issue is simply when the deadline should be, fur which proposals are being accepted.
Magma seems to be better fur drawing (like Photoshop) as opposed to publishing (like Illustrator or Indesign). So if there are still enough interested persons we'll probably do as was agreed upon earlier and each simply submit our parts then go over them fur editorial consistency. But that is open to debate. At this present moment, the open issue is the deadline and the number of interested persons.

apologizes fur any errors and such
Replies: >>10885
So do we have any propositions fur a deadline?
>>10884
Cool. And I guess I should count you as an interested person. That makes 4 of us.
I put furth two propositions: (A) January 1st, 2026 & (B) February 1st, 2026.
Replies: >>10887
>>10886
I'm in favor of A because the interest in this thread would not last until February imo.

Also, is the layout okay?
Replies: >>10888
>>10887
You're probably right. I wanted to use the democratic process I laid out in >>10854 to make decisions & fur layout & furmatting decisions to be made & codified progressively. But if there really is only a handful of us, it's a lot easier to reach a consensus on things.
Your layout looks fine at a glance but we're not necessarily trying to tick all the boxes we laid out when we suggested ideas on content earlier. The plan was to allow everyone to furmat their pages independently as they wished & submit them. Then we'd go through a stage or two of proofreading & editing collaboratively to ensure stylistic consistency & all that shite.
All this is to say: if no one else butts in, then it's unanimously agreed that January 1st is the deadline. But I still stand by the idea that everyone should first be allowed to furmat their pages as they wish instead of immediately adopting a layout.

>i still stand by the idea that everyone should first be allowed to furmat their pages as they wish instead of immediately adopting a layout
it sounds like you want everyone to work on their own pages individually
is that correct?
Replies: >>10890
>>10889
Yes. Then we tie it all together collectively & add anything essential that's missing like the cover.
Replies: >>10891
>>10890
Alright then, so where do we start?
Replies: >>10892
>>10891
Well, now we wait fur people to submit things. There's the difficulty. I've a feeling there're just not enough interested parties.
Replies: >>10894
I suppose we could make an announcement in a new thread declaring the deadline which might put some pressure on some people & a specific date to look furward to. But I think we should wait some 24 hours to make sure everyone agrees on the Jan. 1 deadline.
>>10892
>wait fur people to submit things
sure, people would need to declare on what they are working so there's no confusion and such
>i've a feeling there is just not enough interested parties
the announcement would probably help and making something out of it right now would convince posters to join in rather than waiting fur something to happen
Replies: >>10895
>>10894
Well, it's been 24 hours. So I guess we'll go with the Jan. 1st deadline. Shall we announce it now?
Replies: >>10896

Seems this moved to >>>/anthro/75756, though this thread was still interesting to read.
