    Ideas For Squidboards’ Half-Year Anniversery

    So I had the random thought that August 1st is the half-year anniversary of the great Squidboards resurgence and I was trying to think of a way that we the community could celebrate it. Anyone have any ideas? Asking far in advance so if anyone does get a good idea we can act on it.

    I’m trying to gather ideas about a way to celebrate a half year since the great resurgence of Squidboards, welcome to any suggestions (I know by saying those words I will regret them later but oh well)

    Hot take I don’t actually want Kraken Royale on CRB…idk I tried using it on 96 and Heavy but I guess I’m just bad at using it so I don’t enjoy it. I would prefer something longer range like crab, zooka, booyah, or strikes. Splat bomb still makes it better than vanilla though :P

    Do you think we need more staff for this website? I'm just asking because the only mod I ever see online is Ceph and I feel bad for making them work so hard

    I saw a different mod online a couple days ago but that was the only time and I don't think he posted anything

    I think we would only need two other mods active since there's not a lot of us.

    I mean, there ARE mods. I don't think we need like 3 more though because as @isacc4 said, there's not a lot of us. Also, we are generally very nice/friendly people who do not trash SquidBoards.

    Good luck for your tournament today! Go team baklava 👀

    That said admin consoles of most forum software will allow those with permission to see the IP address of the guests. but it's often useless information because most shady folks are using proxies/botnets. But every so often you'll find that like 90% of your 'guests' are from one city in taiwan or something. (Disclaimer I haven't run active forums in like a decade and my knowledge might be outdated)

    @Aiko.Octo Oh that's interesting... and also lowkey terrifying damn

    It is kind of terrifying, but if it helps, once in a while you find out that what looked like an insidious bot spamming your host with page requests and probing into everything was just some high school/college kid's webcrawling python homework and they happened to pick your site to test it on and didn't know how to limit their request rate to something reasonable. Completely plausible and much less terrifying!

    It makes me happy and sad that 14 members is the most people I've seen online in a while

    This is really spontaneous but I have decided to form a Splatoon team! If anyone is interested I have a post about it. DM me with Squidboards if anyone has any questions. I'm going to wait a few days before posting the invite publicly because I would rather have Squidboards people on the team then completely random people.
    ThestralZ
    On the 27th I'm going to be playing in Spawning Grounds 6 on team Baklava, wish me good luck, it will be my first ever Splatoon tournament!

    Ok, I was skeptical about Mahi Tricolor but it kicks ***. It's so big and the podium rising up from the pool is really cool. I swear if they don't add tricolor to private battles at the end of this game there will be ink on my hands.

    So when I Solo q, I play in handheld mode at my computer desk with both motion controls and sticks on. Does this put me at a noticeable disadvantage compared to other players? I'm asking because I own a Pro Controller and I'm curious if I should play with that for an upcoming tournament I have.

    playing in handheld isn't unheard of in the competitive scene! if the upcoming tournament is soon, i'd stick with the setup you're used to - you don't want to end up kneecapping yourself because you're playing in a way you're just not used to because you heard that, theoretically, it's 'better' to play in tv/tabletop mode with a procon

    that being said, as a tv-mode-pro-controller user, i don't think it's a bad idea to try out playing with a procon in solo q. not necessarily because i think it's better, just because it never hurts to try new ways to play and see from experience what you like best, y'know? maybe you'll like it better than handheld, maybe you'll hate it and never wanna try it again - but you won't know until you try

    The one issue would be that you might not be able to use LAN, and just as a personal thing I find it harder to see and react to things when the screen is smaller for Splatoon in particular. That's just a me problem though and if those sound like non-issues to you then you should be fine.

    My school just got put into max lock down, I'm ok but there are police and people are saying there either is or was someone with a gun in the bathrooms. I'm ok but send me prayers, I'm kind of freaking out right now

    yeah, last year I had a lockdown because the freaking 9th graders were watching movies with gun noises in them, for 5 hours so I had to sit for 5 hours silent in school with 20 other idiots

    In all seriousness though, the kaizer vs jackpot set was the hypest set I've watched since the inkTV resurgence league last year where jackpot and AR beat starburst. I HIGHLY recommend watching it, both teams were playing insanely well, and ZerraZ was insane that match, there were so many sick plays

    Oh and Nine and Jordan Kent were great as always

    Seconding Kaizer V Jackpot as easily the highlight of worlds. Obviously the finals were a very close second in terms of the best part, but man, Kaizer V Jackpot was something ELSE

    Does following someone do anything because I follow like a dozen people and I never get any extra notifications when those people post.

    there’s a homepage tab for “your news feed” that shows you what the people you follow are up to (way off to the right), but… yeah that’s it. no notifications or anything

    How important is it to keep your real name anonymous in this community?

    it's just a good idea in general to keep your name anonymous on the internet, you never know who's out for you
