I got a PM on another site and was told to check this place out. Apparently someone in the administration here told a friend of ours to tell me about this site. So on a whim, I made and account, and I even got my original C-Crushric name. This time I wrote down my password so that I won't be forced to become Krushric due to losing my account information. Or getting shadowbanned when all I'm trying to do is post in conlang subs. (I WANT MY CONSTRUCTED LANGUAGES!)

In any case, why hello there. Name's Crushric. Pleasure to make your acquaintances.

Also, does this place have any particular story behind it? History, how to came to be—that sort of thing. I'm rather curious.

Hi. The site was made by Polsaker and Pembo, you might remember Polsaker from the modernpowers IRC, not sure about pembo.

The original site was called Throat, and it was extremely basic, then it got changed to shitposting.space, which was better but still unusable because every major updated wiped all comments and posts from the site. Now we have Phuks.

Be sure to have a look at the "View All Subs" page on the sidebar on the frontpage, and go into your settings to enable NSFW content. The "experimental features" option will auto update vote scores, new posts on all/new and will auto update your notifications.

I recall them both, though I didn't get to speak with Pembo very much. Had only a few short chit-chats with Polsaker.

But good to know the history here. Thanks!

Oooh, that's why the "Crushric" name looked familiar--IRC!

Hey Crush, good to have you aboard! You doing well?

Here's a summary of the background for this project!

TL;DR

The MP crew got tired of voat and started an alternative

I'm alive. Alive! Muhahaha! So yeah I guess that counts as pretty good. I hope you're doing just as dandy.

Thanks for the summary link. It was an interesting read. I recall you folks talking about that sort of topic in the IRC way back when, but the details were beyond me since I didn't really follow Voat issues. So while I was never disillusioned by Voat, I also wasn't really illusioned by it, I guess.

Long time no see. Welcome.

Wasn't much to do on Voat, and I'm been too lazy to boot up my IRC thing. But glad to be welcomed.
