So I found this through the recent tumblr COG drama, is this 4chan for textgames? Lmao
And why is the website design from the 90s, you need any help with that?

Lol. Okay I'll play. For the moment, we'll assume you're actually legit and this isn't just a poor attempt at trolling from the angry alphabet people.

So tinstar eh? I'm guessing you're a fan of that particular CoG game. I've heard it's one of the better ones.

I imagine in certain circles, CYS is considered to be the "4chan" of the IF world, but considering we got restrictions on porn stories we probably don't qualify as the infamous 4chan. We don't allow sexual degeneracy to infest the glorious Kingdom of CYStia like CoG or Twine. We just have a more relaxed view on expression in our forums, somehow that makes us "4chan" I guess.

As for the website design, well it was made in the late 90s hence why it looks like that. It's worked this long, probably no reason change now.

Anyway, feel free to explore regardless of your actual intentions.

If you're using a PC, get the extension from Brad's profile and then go to your profile settings for dark mode and just a general facelift for the site, with some added features like multiple quicksaves and searching by tags.

And welcome, you have arrived at the last bastion of free speech in the interactive fiction world. As everyone around us becomes more of a whiny perpetually triggered degenerate, we are forced to become more toxic to keep the balance. It's a heavy burden, but we don't shirk our duty.

Hey, thank you! I'm eager to explore. And I hope your server is somewhere in Hungary or the assholes will try their best to take it off the internet. Kiwifarms has a special forum section for just that.

It's in Japan.

Hello and welcome to highly articulate 12 year olds and gathering stardust trolls alike.

To the highly articulate 12 year olds, I recommend that you check the ratings of games before you play them as there is plenty of content that isn't suitable for children under 13.

To any potential trolls, I highly recommend creating a different account and starting from scratch. Mentioning the CoG drama from the get go is a pretty obvious giveaway and going to make the community suspicious. For successful trolling, you have to play the long game and try to convince us all that you're just a regular edgelord degenerate like the rest of us. ^_^

I also recommend having an end goal in mind, as we get plenty of morons posting noobie threads saying, "Hi there! I'm a totally new noob who has absolutely, definitely never heard of this site before and just stumbled across it this very day. BTW, I heard about this super retarded troll who got banned yesterday. What an absolute fucking cock sucking mongaloid. I sure am glad that I'm not THAT guy!" ... And then they just sort of hover around aimlessly for a couple of days before realizing they have no idea what they're doing here and get bored.

For more trolling advice, I direct you to the following article:

I'm kinda confused by this ngl but maybe I'm from older generation of shitlords. The only way I could see trolling this forum is by spamming and I'm sure I'd get to it by now and not bother to introduce myself.
I'm also absolutely not planning on any endgoal here - this is for fun and on my free time. I might be a cunt but I'm not a stupid cunt - not enough to plan on building my writing career here.

... How can you be from the "older generation of shitlords" if you're 12? :p

It's a meme ya dip

Don't mind Avery, she was hit in the head with a biscuit once.

It was really sharp! :'(

Awh, I'm disappointed! I was hoping you'd still insist that you were definitely and totally 12... I guess that's because sadly, over here, it's not a meme. 30 something year olds pretending to be 12 for sympathy points is pretty much a daily occurrence. :p

Just out of curiosity, is "Tinstar" a reference to the Hosted Game? Never got round to playing it but I hear it's pretty awesome. ^_^

You should - truth to be told it's the first thing that came to my mind hahah I clearly need to stop binging and go back to writing

Thanks, mate - I guess people come here to vent and I respect that.

Being made fun of is fun. ^_^

We like our web design from the 90s
