>>16610 Oh man don't go I love this board. Don't let it be another /c/ situation.

>>16610 Goodbye bro. Visit eh?

Do not nuke or delete the board, please. We can lock it until such time as someone would like to claim it. Each time a BO has deleted a board it has become an issue where the next owner asks for the content to be restored from backups. Simply locking the board instead would allow the BO to retire it while preventing such issues.

>>16614 im not disappearing, just shuffling aside. IBs are great and i want to lurk, find more sites, update and improve the directory site. it's pretty happening with traffic and i dont want to see it suffer with no updates.

>>16616 >no nuke ok. well, dont lock it yet. i could change my mind by the first, but it's not likely. ill let you know the week of christmas! not burning bridges, just feel like moving onto some other things. thanks for reaching out so quickly. this site has been good to me:^)

>>16618 We won't. We're sorry to see you go, but we understand that things like this happen. When you reach your last day give us a thumbs up or down for the lock, and if its still unclaimed and you would like it back later all you have to do is ask.

is it because i called you a gay thats just what people say on the internet you dont have to make such a big deal about it

>>16622 thanks! >related to my OP post fixed the blocked site firefox issue! either mcafee sucks or 8chan has been compromised with security issues. it's a first! had mcafee for years and never had problems with this site. my firewall is down, lol! itll go back up in 30 minutes or so. doing shit here on TOR was painstakingly slow. well, it's out there. i said i'm leaving on january 1st and there is no taking it back. or is there? TIME FOR A SOUL SEARCH!

>>16623 i heard tops go to heaven. what happens to the guy that is ontop of you while ramming your fist in their ass?

Thanks for the years of ghostposting Davey. It was fun while it lasted. If you do make a board on bvffalo I suppose that's where I'll be heading next since this is literally the only place I frequent aside from /delicious and loli3. >>16616 Had to post from 8chan.se using 8chan.moe was being a nigger. Tries several different browsers too. Can't seem to post images either. inb4 clear ur cache faggot

>>16635 :^)

OK, it seems things got real... Hope to see you elsewhere on the internets Davey-Kun. /404/ was really a nice place to lurk on these past few years, glad to have been there. Sometimes a man had to take some roads, I'm happy I have walked a bit on this one with you and the /404/ guys. As I said on King's thread, take care of you and your chickens.

That tiny place of respite from the terrors of our clown world, and some faggot has to let it die. Well, better to be a hero in this world than a cumsock in the next, I guess. Merry Christmas, you fucks.

>>16610 > literally one of the only boards i liek coming here for > ima close dis bored on da 1st

>>16610 good bye, i love you

>>16656 yes. well, /404/ will be "locked" and someone else can claim board in the future with all the posts css and assets left on /res/. that would happen beyond da first! i'm going to maybe jazz up my [Chat] section on bvffalo eventually. will look like and IB, but not a true IB and would function the same as my current Comment page. Posts would get reviewed before visible and i'd throw down on a higher file size drop. possibly.

>>16658 🖤

>>16610 >plus 8chan is not reachable by firefox Hah? I'm on Firefox and I'm, well, here.

>>16670 Pale moon, no idea what he's talking about.

>>16610 >mcafee probs ... McAfee ANTIVIRUS?! Did you lose a bet or something?!

>>16670 it was and is mcafee <been back on firefox when i discovered the mcafee problem. i do have to turn off my firewall to be here, which is a new problem.

>>16677 idk, maybe?

>>16689 Dude, NO! Pay the money and get ESET or something!

>>16610 Okay, look, seriously, you can't do this. find someone you think you can trust and make them a mod to do a little light housecleaning while you're gone.

>>16742 >seriously, you can't do this. *Locke's eyes at you*

>>16742 This reminds me of how /suicide/ would always get a new BO by the new year, thankfully his reasons for leaving are different.

C'mon, BO, seriously. I'd volunteer to watch it for you, but I've been a janitor for a top ten board and I never want to see that pedo spam again.

>>16753 >>16752

>>16755 >never want to see that pedo spam again

>>16762 You have no idea what I saw during those two years. If I could have killed the spammers with my mind, there would have been reports all over the world of Indians exploding.

Damn, Daveyhito sama. It's a shame to see you leave this IB, but I wish you the best with bvffalo and any other future prospects. Though we grew apart, you and this place would always come back to mind from time to time. Never will forget the LARPs I pulled. Take it cheesy, dude.

>>16790 working on zhuzhing up my [Chat] page, making bvffalo all inclusive. nothing has been done yet, but looks like i'm about to be out of the rent-free business and into the paying for a second server business. idk, going to be experimenting with vichan for aesthetics, but if things go south ill be looking a lot harder at tinyIB. vichan, i can limit amount of post i get in one day and tinyIB would work more like my [Chat] page which is approving posts before they even go public. the pitfalls of a 1 man operation are obvious (SEA PEE). as long as that is metigated in some way we are a go:^) >why? i only want to focus on my site and i'd like exclusive creative control. very cucky but it cant be helped.

>>16794 Looks like the work is in progress there.

>>16795 i purchased a domain and things got screwy with redirect, my bad. bvffalo is back up, but to be quite honest, im only going to try to set up a [Chat] alternative once. i have no idea what im doing, which is great cuz the 1st of the month is plenty of time to set something up. wish me luck. worst case scenario, nothing changes, i keep HTML COMMETB■X and move on with my life. here's hoping for the best case scenario!!!

>>16782 "Scumsucking piece of inbred shit on a 10-speed?"

>>16799 Say that to my boyfriend, cracker.

Fuck! my bvffalo site is down and account has been suspended. i had to write an appeal of sorts. had this site for close to 4 years with 0 issues. wtf? >pic related, apologies phonefag afk this might be a sign, for what i dont know?

>>16802 still me. what the fuck. this is embarassing that i even have wordpress, but the site was harmless and helpful. jeez

>>16804 >>16802 That's fucked. They suspended my account and website earlier this year.

>>16802 Damn, bvffalo was really nice. Can't you try to host it elsewhere like Neocities (I don't know if it's a good place but there are plenty of kewl sites here).

ill get to keep my domain, eventually, but idk. im not hip with writing straight up html raw. neocities is kind of html friendly with tutorials and all. BWAAAAAAAAA! there are plenty of imageboard directories out there, wasnt doing anything special. i feel like someone filed a complaint and now im finished! LOL! FUCK IT!

MFW THIS WHOLE THREAD IS MEANINGLESS! sticky unstuck RIP BVFFALO.LAND

>>16807 Fvck this shit. Yes they are plenty IB database out there but your one was comfy. What part of bvffalo wasn't in line with the TOS ? The chat ? Yeah... RIP bvffalo.land...

>>16808 That sucks. On a serious note thats fucked, any reason including no reason is a bullshit excuse.

>>16808 Well shit.

>>16810 >what you said Yes. >for any reason, or none at all. they are headquartered out of San Francisco. sounds about right.

>>16801 "That to my boyfriend, cracker."

>>16807 Can't you get a snapshot from waybackmachine and redo the missing bits? https://web.archive.org/web/20221105091104/https://bvffalo.land/ Seems to be working fine from here Still I'd rather you didn't delete the board, I like coming here and shitpost once in a blue moon. Also, what are the reasons for the suspension, exactly?

So... May /404/ will stay open after the 1st january ?

>>16867 maybe

>>16870 That would be a disgrace tbh.

>>16873 maybe not?

>>16874 >Which countries are supporting ISIS

i have a neocities. no idea what im doing. but, i think i can only do stuff on one page. so making a listing should be that crazy. ill have fun with it. gonna look up html tutorials to get what i want out of it. if anybody knows how to make multiple pages lemme know, i think i just make another .html file and maybe that turns into a slug that i can hyperlink from the index. currently just fugging around with the index. learning actual html might prove to be fun. >chat section havent given up on the idea. 2023 might be looking good with wordpress cockblocking my old site forcing me to grow. it's laughable, but i'm only getting started: https://bvffalo.neocities.org/

>>16882 Nice. Lets see how things evolve. Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for failure and opportunity ?

>>16807 they spelled automatic wrong on a serious note i've had this happen before, if someone makes an egregious report (i.e. cp) the hosting provider oftentimes won't even check it and will just revoke service anyway

>>16897 >cp i was thinking indirectly, since some boards get attacked with it. me, personally, did not link directly to such foolishness. i would have had a chat with some 3 letter agency and the domain would have been seized and connected to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children(i.e. mewch.net). i still own my domain.

the board got accidentally wiped a week early despite deciding against it? Or did everybody lose a week or two of posts? (I think it was just this board...)

Is it me or the catalog page is broken ? Also the neocities page not found. Damn, it really have that kind of end of things spirit....

So is it done then or did you change your mind since buffalo got banged up?

>>16917 So... So I'm posting on a deleted board. Based.

>>16918 >>16917 Wait... what

>>16918 >>16919 Davey the 404 BO deleted the board and either because of a complete site rollback or specifically-for-this-board-rollback the board is now back without Davey the BO probably even knowing.

>>16920 Damn that really sucks. I understand why 8moe wants to keep /404/ alive (it's a great board) but it's kind of annoying knowing Davey had fly away. Who could handle the spirit of /404/ alive with all these messy CSS shenanigans. I really feel the board will not have the same flavour now... Will see, will come to lurk and post as usual. If you read this ex-BO, take care of you and hope to see you again. Also a warm thought for ©anadAnon.

>>16922 Also, who is the new BO ?

>>16923 Maybe you.

>>16920 Ok.

>>16924 No you. Jokes asides, my question was not correctly formulated. Does /404/ currently have a BO ?

>>16917 BO is a massive faggot for trying to delete the board regardless of the wishes of Root.

Weird trying to piece together what happened browsing this thread first thing inna mornin' sans-coffee. Man'o'man do I feel for Davers, still didn't figure him to pull a ©anadAnon™ and up and vamoose though I don't blame him in the slightest. The lit match in the gasoline-filled dumpster technique is rough the first two or three times, but eventually (you) start to appreciate his style and ability to start again from scratch. Not exactly sure what I'm postin' on currently. A gohst bort? A zombie bort? Feels spoopy. Ghost of Christmas-past spoopy. I like that! I hope some iteration of the bort continues in some way so I can keep making things and generally being a namefag nuisance (free time permitting). I'm only a short while away from entering my lotsa-munny-arc and feel like there's all sorts of wacky projects we could brain-trust on. Anyhoo, big shout outs and mad props to Davers. Always learnin', gettin' stronger and smarter to keep ahead of the haters. Best innernet BigBro a dunce like me could hope for and I know we'll gypsy-caravan up sometime again in the future. Always inspiring. Also co-shout outs to KingADVRC and all long-haul regulars (FrancAnon en particulár) for making this my favorite webnook. Cheers to (you) all!

The administration doesn't own user boards. If a user wants to delete his board he should be able to do so without fearing that all the content will be put back again against his will. Dick move from the administration tbh.

>>16937 It's a good point, but they also have a responsibility to the users, as well. If they've set up a community they enjoy, why can't they continue to enjoy it as well as whatever new project was in the works?

>>16938 Plenty of other boards on the site, or someone could recreate the exact same board. Point is that if a BO wants to delete their board that's his decision and should be respected. Plus it was already announced almost a month ago. Now we're posting on the corpse of someone who didn't want it to be there anymore.

>>16939 > or someone could recreate the exact same board. ... you mean like they did?

Am I the only one who sees very few images on the catalog page?

>>16942 Like nobody did. If the board was recreated after its deletion it would've been completely blank. Do not spread fake news. I hope either Davey checks the site and realizes the board is still there and does something about it, or the administration comes to its senses and leaves the board deleted (will never happen).

>>16937 I couldn't have said better. >>16938 Also I got your point but I think it's more suitable for boards dedicated to a specific topic or hobby. /404/ is was more a kind of random meet up point for users (as someone stated on /site/, a /b/ but better). Although, yes there is a community here with regular posters and as one of them myself, even if /404/ closing piss me off, I think we (and 8moe staff) have to respect BO's choice. Period. Keeping alive /404/ without the original owner is just a bad move imho and is just like wanting to keeping alive a dead corpse as I doubt any new BO can handle the original spirit. >>16943 See >>16917

>>16946 Painful truth.

Kek we just have the same drama rn over the closing without warning of /comfy/ on anon.cafe. Really a weird night for image boards....

>>16946 > I think we (and 8moe staff) have to respect BO's choice. I don't respect the choice, though. Why kill it instead of passing it on to a new BO? I guess I'd have more sympathy towards his point of view if I understood why it was so necessary to destroy it.

>>16954 I forgot to add that, back in the day, I had ownership of a tiny little board that had a few regular users. When I got tired of managing things, I gave away the BO title to the first guy that posted to the throwaway email. So I'm not just talking out my ass here, I've walked the walk as well as talking the talk.

So, this board is a zombie rn? No BO or mods?

>>16954 From muh perspective (stumbling around with him since 2018) this is pretty in keeping with previous borts Davey ran. He likes the spontaneous combustion technique and I like Davey even if I miss immaculate threads I put hours/days of effort posting into. Once it happens a few times (you) get over it and learn to be stronger/less attached to the past. The true enjoyment comes from the company (you) keep and the spontaneity of the moment. For me it's gonna be tough knowin' Davers ain't there and I'm possibly postin' scribbles on a corpse he wants dead and buried. I tried to get some clarification via the back channels and my previous direct line to the man himself, but he's even deepsix'd that account so I have no idea where his head is at about any of this. >tl;dr I'm Davey fanboy and if that means bortnuke is go then I'll live in the radioactive wasteland.

>>16959 Noticed he closed his youtube channel to. Seems the man really wants to erase himself from the internets. I can understand this feeling. >>16954 I don't really complain about the fact the board is still open, as you can see I'm still here. But for sure /404/ without Davey will not have the same flavor. I think we will all feel it in the long run. Hey, time will tell. I just hope he's ok.

>>16962 Just remembered I had his bvffalo.land email address in my keyring manager since we used to share PGP keys. >start to write an email >bvffalo's mail account recently deleted Damn...

>>16959 >Once it happens a few times (you) get over it and learn to be stronger/less attached to the past. I don't actually care all that much about the threads and posts, if that's the problem. He could have just wiped them and let us start over while still holding onto /404/. As for being with him, I have no idea how you guys even know each other. From where? And when he did these things in the past, did he make something new or just grudgingly return to the original?

>>16964 Does he suffer from depression?

>>16965 Not sure I have time to delve into deep lore, but he was jus another tripfag on orig-8ch (2017-2018 era) who had a very fun little bort I stumbled upon during a very difficult arc in muh life. He was very courteous to me as I made a very indulgent thread and even ran with the themes making banners and celebratin' it every wednesday. After the takedown debacle we'd run into eachother on various alt-borts and eventually he invited me to tiny obscure places where he'd work on various css shenanigans and I'd post a lot of nonsense and OC. This even reached a point where we had basically a totally private bort with like him, me and occasionally King passing through along with bizarro antagonism from him-who-must-be-wordfiltered. That's where gohst-pohsting and Synthia Erra (roving Bort-Tan extraordinaire) was collab created. Along the way Davers would get a hair up his bum and completely wipe these borts on a whim with little to no warning. Initially this ticked me off, but as time went on I got a better appreciation for starting over from scratch in a new sandbox. Davey has a full plate to deal with irl and is basically way cooler than any us (speaking for myself anyhoo) and has more going for him than we'll ever know. Borts and css were a part time hobby for him and he'd slip lil' surprises in constantly when you weren't lookin'. Learned a lot from the guy and am eternally indebted for the fun times. As for if he'd start something new right away... That really depended on his mood and how ready he was to deal with the kind of shitflinging that goes on in cy+7. There's times where I got the sense bortstuff would impinge on his daily life or merely become a grind on his patience, both of us have toyed with the idea of complete net-footprint wipes though I've only managed extended detoxes. Generally speaking though : yes, he'd do something new or even repurpose abandoned borts. And by repurpose I don't mean resurrect. >>16966 If the current absolute state don't get (you) depressed from time to time, (you) ain't paying attention.

I at least managed to archive the CSS so if the board truly does go down I'll still have a copy. I hope Davey is doing OK and that he comes back some day.

I myself was never a /b/ person and spent more of my time in porn/hentai boards archiving image sets and h-mangas rather than shitposting. I first came across Davey 4 years ago. If I remember correctly he had moved his board, /chaos/, from original 8chan to mewch, where I was a global admin at that time. I had the privileged of watching over the board keeping it clean of pizza and spam. What I found was some interesting css and somewhat of an archive of interesting stuff. After mewch's closure I hopped to spacechan where I found him again, and had moved to almost all of his boards since. ©anadAnon is a user that I have a lot of respect for since he took to drawing the anime style like a natural and I feel is better than mine, although not as refined if that makes any sense. Reading his Beach Update threads for the last 2 years with its twists and turns was like voyeuristic fun. It almost makes want to be more open about myself and my life, except it wouldn't be anywhere as interesting. Frenchanon is another standout person to me, but only in the sense that he's one of the users that has nice things to say about my mediocre artwork and I suspect is a closet furry or at least one for mousegirls. We'll see if he's another person I add to the small group of people I keep tabs on.

>>16967 >If the current absolute state don't get (you) depressed from time to time, (you) ain't paying attention. Oh believe me, I know. Okay, well I guess I'm ready to say farewell to current /404/, but if it or something else comes back, how are we supposed to know? Does he advertise on other boards?

Remember that every post you make on this board from now on is not what Davey would've wanted.

>>16973 Davey's not my real mom, and neither are you, goon!

>>16973 We wont know that unless he comes here and says so himself. Untill then i post and view the posts of others.

>>16970 >a closet furry Just looked into my porn folder. And yes I have some light furry porn so yeah I'm kind of a closet furry I guess. Regarding the mice, it's just a way I have to name the cute girls : " Hey look at that cute little mouse out there !" >>16975 Same for me but I feel quite embarassed knowing he wanted to nuke the place.

>>16973 >Remember that every post you make on this board from now on is not what Davey would've wanted. I'll try to feel bad about that later, considering I still don't really understand how he managed to accidentally cram all that sand into his vagina. Why the fuck build a community just to kick it apart like a toddler tantrum-kicking an anthill? >>16975 >Untill then i post and view the posts of others. Eventually he'll show up and fuck with things, I'm sure. So let's make the most of the time we have left. Therefore... Is there anyone here willing to make and maintain a board with the same people and general vibe? I would do it myself but I learned the hard way that I'm not cut out to be a BO. And, if there IS someone willing to take that on, please let us know what you want to call it. Or we could do name suggestions if you can't think of one.

>>16978 I've been a BO of a small board. Well, actually I've kept a dead board up for a time several different times, and if I'm chosen once this bort goes up for identity reassignment that'd be the way I'd play it - an awkward zombie board where some of the same CSS is still here (I'd maintain the rename-of-anon mechanism for sure) but I have no ambition to build a board into something more. But as the resident brony I'd probably attract some strange folk. Or maybe I wouldn't. I appreciate Davey decided to leave after all, but I appreciate all the folks who aren't him that come to this URL, too.

>>16980 > I've kept a dead board up for a time proof: 8kun /pone/ res 327951 html (post #328879 )

>piece of shit egotistical americans who don't respect another person's wish typical. glad Davey left this shithole, he deserves better than you "people".

>>16983 >glad Davey left You be sure not to come back now, y'hear?

>>16983 >he deserves better than you "people". "The world was never meant for one as beautiful as Davey." >piece of shit egotistical americans who don't respect another person's wish 1. Not a yank 2. He didn't respect our wishes either, so feel free to ram an iron bar up your rectum until you reach your sinus cavity, simp.

>>16980 >as the resident brony Is it mlp-centric or just some random board you made for shiggles?

>>16993 I've never made a board, just took over an abandoned one a couple times. Including the main bunker for /mlp/ that was quite popular after the scruffening, but has never recovered from the TLD-changes that were necessitated by other, more well known boards there.

>>16994 Any chances of you starting a slightly less degenerate board for us?

>>16981 >>16993 >>16994 Start up a /pone/ board here. Get the guys stranded over on Endchan to hop here instead.

>>16997 >Flag Whelp, guess I'm in Puerto Rico then, not even using a VPN or a Proxy.

>>16997 >>>/clop/ Or you could just post on the one we already have.

>>16999 >/clop/ Anon, /clop/ may be an MLP-centred board but it focuses mainly on Porn as its content as is in the name of the board "/clop/". Even if it were a board that permitted regular discussion of MLP it just wouldn't work on the basis that people go there for the porn, not the actual discussion and one quick look at it's catalog says this as well. >Or you could just post on the one we already have. Ok.

>>17000 Newname pony fuckers?

>>16997 >Start up a /pone/ board here. We're looking for a /404/ substitute, here. Clop on your own time.

Since this board is now a zombie, i can now steal shamlessy CSS from here

Okay, well since no one wants to make us a new home, this will be my last post here. Thanks for the fun, boys and possibly girls. And big ol' "fuck you" to Davey for making something I really liked just to trash it in a fit of pique.

So this comfy board died just because the BO left? Lame.

>>17078 to be fair, so did you. and that guy over there, and I've mostly left too. fly

I'm still posting, just not as frequently. Partly because my free time is shrinking, and partly because posting images here is increasingly becoming a nigger.

>>17081 Kang! Glad you're still about here. Is there a way to send you $$$ for your Synthia-synthesizing thus far? I'm flush with dumb stacks of dosh now and have been meaning to send meme number amounts of it your way for years. Thought maybe you'd have link for that on your DA but didna see anything there. Plz reply! K thx also it's my B-day and here's some edible artwork from the GF >>17078 It's more that Davers (B.O) went ahead and deep6'd the bort only to have it rerisen like an unwilling Christ (pbuh). All I really want is his two cents on the whole affair but I don't have the time to track him down. Please feel free to make of this space what you will and comfy the place up though since that's in keeping with the .moenarcs wishes apparently.

Nice to see you again Penguin-Sensei. Those cookies are fukken kewl! I hope you thanked GF' properly for them. I don't have any way of accepting payment. I allowed my Paypal account to expire long ago. Honestly, I don't accept money for my drawings for multiple reasons, one of which being that the little bit of happiness it brings to people that choose to view it is payment enough for me. I've always believed true artists don't do it for the money, but I don't judge those that choose to do so. Give the meme money to some sort of charity or buy 'GF' something really nice with it.

>>16610 I came a bit ago to see if there was anything about bvffalo.land, thought this was a new years' thread, damn thank you for the memories bro best of luck

>>17089 Hey ©anadabro I'm quite late* but wish you a happy birthday ! Hope gf's edibles are as tasty as they're good looking ! Take care. *I don't visit as often now but still lurking from time to time

been a while since i lurked and even longer since i posted but after having read through this thread i just wanted to say thanks to davey for doing all that he's done

are there any updates with bvffalo.land? or some sort of replacement? i used to get all my onion chan links from there
