>>1636890That was never the intent - the cornerstone behind Cirnoposter culture was the fact that we were a cut above all of the other 2hufags both primary and secondary - we could make entire sites, games, and artwork dedicated to Cirno as the primary subject while getting new people into Touhou because we weren't elitists like our peers. Anyone could be a Cirnoposter, no matter how much you sucked at the games. The Gets were... I don't know what KoG was thinking but his actions mean that practically everyone on 4chan has seen Cirno at least once and might be curious as to what she was from.
The spam is a residual mechanism from the last board we called home when it was suddenly invaded by /mlpol/ after the board died demanding that their board be restored and attempting to slide us off our own board. It was something meant to be phased out once /bant/ became stable and we didn't have to contend with /pol/ sending over a dozen blacked threads or frog threads or whathaveyou to attract more of their ilk thinking they'd be in good company. I've since quit bumping the spam threads, only keeping the ones with discussion in them up 24/7, both to act as a beacon for KoG and in the vain hope that any traveling artist would notice the appropriate thread and post their works (this still occasionally happens in the Flag threads, which is why they're set to high priority in spite of the fact I think Argie's flag choice is ugly). Back on our old board, you needed people to constantly bump threads or they'd get slid out by spam from raiders.
It's people like you and Manx that I feel the most sorry for and wish I had a better answer to. I hope you don't get discouraged by the low-quality Cirnoposters, but I'm ultimately just another among their number and attempts at trying to centralize command have all thus far been largely unsuccessful.
>>1635270Thank you for standing up with us anon, but the situation you speak of is more complex than that.
