The truth behind #fortune

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-21 12:36 ID:mdBlgkzb

I'm sick and tired of this age-old "omg i wanna do fortune how do i got fortunes????" faggotry that's rampant in /b/. To end it, here's the story behind the whole unfortunate #fortune thing.

In mid-2007 it was decided that anonymity would no longer be enforced in /b/ and so the name field that had been gone for so long was brought back. A new feature was also introduced, called "fortune," which worked with the #fortune command. To make it work, you had to put #fortune in the now non-existent name field. Fortune only worked (and still works) in /b/, nowhere else.

But then, after a while, things got a little out of hand and suddenly there were namefags galore. Due to the abso-fucking-brick-shitting-enormous name faggotry, the name field was quickly taken down. The guys who have fortune now had it when the name field was taken down, and now they're permanently stuck with it.

So no, you can't do fortune. It's simply impossible. The fortune fags are just pulling your fucking gullible newbie leg, so stop asking how to do it.

Actually, you still can do it, and you still can get rid of it. It's because the name field was never really deleted, just hidden. So your browser is still submitting it. If you still have #fortune as a default in the field, it will be sent. Now here's the nifty part. Know how name and tripcode defaults are shared across boards? That's right, Post with #fortune in an image board that DOES have names, then go back to /b/ and bam, you've got fortune.

Why am I letting this be known, since it will cause massive faggotry?

'Cause /b/ sucks nowadays and I want it to just die, plus faggot tree of this nature is entertaining to me.

Agreed fortune is old and boring, just look for a greasemonkey script if you want to enable it, quick and easy.
