Kurin Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 So I have a drawpile server that I'm currently configuring that can handle around 40-50 concurrent users with little to no lag. I'm hoping to, if it is OK and/or wanted, to set it up so all the info is in one thread here, all the rules, etc. Should they get more popular than 50 users I will see about moving the server elsewhere and/or setting up a second one.What I need to know is:Would anyone like this? Is everyone OK with me hosting the server (which will not have a login system other than for mods, whose passwords will be encrypted)I would like the community's input on what rules would be acceptable. There are some considerations with the server software that, until the creator has released the new version in development, will just have to be worked around such as the session expiring at a configurable amount of time (which means a moderator would have to re-create the session). This can be worked around by creating a very long session timeout, however will have the side effect of making the session not clear itself automatically. So this is a consideration that must be taken into account.I am also considering making several sessions on the server to cater to those who do not wish to see NSFW material and/or want a rules-free environment so I am considering having a SFW session (no nudity whatsoever, only work-safe material on the board), a NSFW session (Sex-OK, but still fairly 'tame') and an 'Anything Goes' session for those who want to draw anything and everything. I may set the latter two up with a board-wide password if required.Once I am reasonably sure everything's working properly, and it is needed, I may consider appointing users (preferably active users that are on frequently) as moderators to make sure the rules are enforceable. Let me know your thoughts, suggestions, and such! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summercat Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 A Community Drawpile server sounds awesome. Even for those of us who can't draw worth a damn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 What's Drawpile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurin Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 What's Drawpile?Drawpile is a collaborative drawing program, like openCanvas, only opensource and in current development. Less crashy than openCanvas, and supports standalone servers so people can connect even if you don't have the program open yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrydan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Oh noes! A chance to show furs that I am much less of an artist than a programmer? What could possibly go wrong? I suppose pixel artwork would do. hahaSeems like a good idea nonetheless. Edited September 28, 2015 by Scrydan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sounds interesting. I suppose it'd be cool to have a place to throw some doodles once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosCalix Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sounds like an interesting idea. Too bad I can only draw worth half a shit if I have a pencil in my hand, hah. But if this got going, I'm sure it could be really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurin Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 So it definitely sounds like that's an OK-to-go. So now I just need to figure out the rules. Suggestions, anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolow Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Definitely something we should have in either the "Art Exchange" or "Den." It would be fun to doodle with others online once in a blue mooon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be fun to doodle with others online once in a blue mooon. Once I get the rules figured out and the server properly set up, I'll certainly post this to another subforum to spread the word.

VLZerda Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Rule suggestions:Don't take up the entire canvasDon't draw over other users images unless you and the other person have agreed to collabObvious one, if it's sfw only, no nsfw.If you leave the board/room/canvas let those in it be aware, this prevents users from having their images erased (or have a set amount of time before the board erases?) Idk, I tried to remember some rules from when I used to be in Nicco's PChat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 This sounds neat, I'd be up for joining some sessions. I've only ever used OC & Nyanchat though, but I'm sure it'll work relatively similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrydan Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Heck, maybe by seeing enough people draw while I draw might have me learn a thing or two! I get more excited about the idea by the hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiy0 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 would be up for some sessions i guess. did not do stuff like that in quite a while. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
