I see little quality honestly.

But it's a new board. And where else are people going to go? That last point is a big part of my personal calculus for even being here.

My expectation is at the very least it'll grow more.

Remember to kill yourself.

See. Case in point. You're banned pretty much literally everywhere else. You're a moron (if not the biggest moron here) but you're here for the long haul.

Plus boards like Ruqqus keep banning people and guilds.

This place is going to grow. People shouldn't worry about that part.

Not sure how much I'll participate but that's another matter.

No, see, kill yourself. You’re not a genuine user. You have never been a genuine user. You deserve no civility and no genuine response. Kill. Yourself. End your life. You’re a shill.

No participants?

Probably because FUCKING DARK MODE CANNOT BE DISABLED.

It also has a timer bug that tosses away all comments that take longer than XX seconds to finish typing in Firefox. 60 seonds? 30 ? All typing lost.

All the top 500 most popular web sites ranked on Alexa this month are BLACK body text on LIGHT or WHITE background.

The first 200, and probably the rest up to top 500th.

Every shitty website in history with light fonts on black WENT OUT OF BUSINESS or rebranded without shitty darkmode. No top 200 web site uses fucking white fonts.

Psychology published papers, comprehension studies in hard cover books, conference proceedings, and multiple doctoral thesis papers, ALL CONCUR that the fastest reading speed achieved by humans, due to retina design, is BLACK FONT on White background.

The top 500 ranked and rated for traffic sites on Alexa , all 500, are BLACK font on nearly white background. This is not a coincidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_websites

none are white font crap. none! It is not a coincidence how those 500 rose to the top.

Top 500 sites : all black or dark dark font, not white font : the list of 500 :

https://www.alexa.com/topsites

Science and Psychology papers with copious amounts of published reading comprehension timings are obviously not persuasive to those not versed in science, or art fags.

If any web site seeks to be the first non black font over white on the top 500 site list : https://www.alexa.com/topsites

then it has slim odds. The human mind has preference for reading comprehension.

Anytime a large site messes with font contrast and does grey on grey it sheds users until it is bankrupt or irrelevant. AOL.com recently went grey font (80% dark grey) a couple years ago and AOL LOST ALL ITS VISITORS to its news pages !

Idiots! Bwaaah ha hahh hahah!

When you visit a book store, EVERY book uses black ink. It is not a coincidence or tradition.

Science has proven countless times for over 70 years that the fastest possible achievable speed records in reading comprehension tests is with BLACK letters on WHITE background.

Its established psychology even for computer screens. In fact hardcover psychology books based solely on reading comprehension test metrics exist, as well as phd masters theses. If you can construct a reading timing test that proves otherwise, then you can become very famous. But you can't, its been proven so many times before. The human brain , or retina, prefers black on white for reading comprehension.

Autists who don't like to look up science research vote with Reeeeeeeeees and downvotes and fingers in their ears typically.

I can inverse my entire montitor pallete to reverse all gammas using Apple OS X built in keysequence on all macintoshes for decades called : "COMMAND+SHIFT+CONTROL+8", to make this ugly site bearable... but most people do not know that and just run from ugly voat.xyz and its illegible crap.

THIS works for only a short while, then the buttons all lose their lettering :

That should be the DEFAULT, not dark mode.

VOAT.XYZ chases everyone away with its shitty fucking HORRID LOOKS!

you could not read it because your font was white atop black.

You proved my point!!!!!!!!

You have to always DR AND CR, you cannot do one or the other.

This site is suffering and dying because its retarded DARK MODE shit.

And "colorize" after about an hour or so seems to start failing. usually no lettering on buttons, then sometimes forgetting font colors in expanded threads.

It's easy to click it again, whiny faggot.

"i don't like THIS, therefore BAN THIS!!! or I will whine and moan and throw temper tantrums until it is no longer THIS. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Just use this when you logini.

Also, can you tell me which of those top 500 websites are run by one dude on his off time?

[ - ] try 0 points 3.9 yearsMay 24, 2021 20:04:59 ago (+0/-0)

Over half of them when they started.

All those top 500 started tiny.... and with black fonts.

[ - ] cyclops1771 0 points 3.9 yearsMay 24, 2021 20:09:06 ago (+0/-0)

I see. Black text - become billionaire, white text, fail.

You'd think someone else would have figured out this "be a billionaire simply by using black text" before you did, but congrats, man!!!! Great breakthrough!!!

[ - ] try 0 points 3.9 yearsMay 24, 2021 20:12:33 ago (+0/-0)

NOT ONE white font site ever survives to reach top 500, for block text paragraphs.

NOT ONE.

Mathematically, using statistics, a scientist can confidently assert that no billionaires will exist using shitty illegible crap DARK MODE.

500 to 0. Amazing odds.

I am highly surprised that neither imdb nor pornhub are not top 500 sites.

[ - ] try 0 points 3.9 yearsMay 24, 2021 20:23:21 ago (+0/-0)

pornhub has no block text. no paragraphs of text meant to be legibly read.
imdb WAS for 20 years, NOT "dark mode" then after it was sold for 4th time, only its landing page looks dark, the TEXT content is all 100% black fonts. Look at Gilligan's Island :


https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057751/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

See? "Gilligan's Island" is all mostly white backgrounds, but not as white as 5 years ago.

If I understand this new rule, a top 500 site can be dark mode, IF they were light mode before OR if they don't allow paragraphs?

It just seems that the "500 to 0" rule seems to be growing exceptions and caveats.

Not saying you are wrong, just that the hard and fast rule seems to be a bit shaky.

That being said, do you think the proliferation of viewing websites on the phone probably lead to less or more "dark mode" versions?

MS even made its "Teams" app in dark mode, and if you have O365, you can get Outlook in dark mode.

I prefer dark mode on phones at night. Sears my eye with the white background.

I can't speak to your comment, Mr jewnigger, but what the fuck were your parents thinking when they named you?
