i love catgirls

yeah, fuck that five-year-old thread you just bumped off for no good reason

>>8838 necrophilia is bad anon

kek it's gonna take a whole month for the other thread to archive at this rate

>>8897 it'll be gone tonight with the rate that anons are settling in after the shilling on /ghost/ and making their ritual threads

>>8910 there's a thread from 2021 at the bottom with 0 replies. imagine how embarrassing that is. and it's just there, rotting. if it wasn't for the hack it would have probably stayed there for 5 more years. amazing.

>>8830 we need more anons to come to 8chan before 4chan comes back share 8chan on twitter reddit youtube tiktok and other normie sites that anons bitch about all the time i fucking know they use those sites post some screencaps to /r/greentext >>8926 only you can bump old threads off the cliff

>>8978 definitely not tiktok

>>8978 How about NO

I love Benisumomo

If 4chan /a/ comes back, will it be as dead as here or will it quickly return to business as usual?

tik talk about it

>>9053 Everyone will go back in 3 days

>>9053 I hope it scared away all the normalfag that thought they're compromised.

>>9053 the site died a while ago anyway with 900s posting timer

Whoever kept mentioning smug as a fast alternative is a fucking liar, it's barely any faster than plus4chan

I can't sleep.

Hello, thanks for new bread. Tosting in the new bread.

How lewd can I go here? Are nipples allowed?

>>9053 I secretly hope it doesn't. That would be funny.

I like it here, wtf. No gookshit spammers already makes this site better than 4chan by miles.

Henlo anons, I am a kaijifag, I'll post here sometimes now

Ok so do you think Hiro will get a call from glowniggers and hear something like "you shut this down or we reveal you're a pedo"?

>>9193 Your kind are welcome.

>>9053 Depends on how long it takes to come back online. If it's 1 week or less then I think things will pretty much go back to normal. If it's several weeks (or months) then that's enough time for people to actually get comfortable in other places and other routines.

>>9248 If it happens quicker than that there's always a chance people hack it again, because if that happened it would be the rise of altchans forever which sounds really fucking comfy tbh

I can't fucking believe the /ghost/ thread just had to be a fucking /dbs/ thread. Like goddamnit. If 4chan ever comes back: 1. Pepe and wojack need to be banned from OP images SITE WIDE 2. DB gets banished to /trash/. 3. Passes need to have their captcha avoidance revoked. t. Pass User I'm wounded and I want blood

>>9195 How pissed do you reckon the spooks are at losing their premier honeypot?

>>9273 It's kind of weird they're not bringing it back up immediately honestly, because if they dont the site may be abandoned for good

>>9263 Some altchans are nice, but it's just not the same. I miss off topic semi-serious shitposting.

>>9272 based cringe dumb

>>9151 Just spoiler it and you're good.

>>9279 Then make a semi serious off topic shitpost nigger

>>9272 We're past "arbitrary" rules that make the core user base of a board happy. The mods will just answer that DB is anime and anime is allowed on /a/ (all while they ban or force-archive another Strike Witches thread). Realistically, they could make a shounenshit board.

>>9273 Quite so so I'd say. Many shills from 3rd world countries also lost their jobs. Glowies need their honeypot but I guess they wouldn't mind if their target moved to other places like xitter or reddit which are easily controlled. 4chan could also get reincarnated (shittified) in a similar fasion as 8chan->8kun. >>9278 They're either that hopeless or are indeed having talks with glowniggers. I expect 4chan could share 8chan's fate.

>>9151 Tits & genitals are fine as long as they're spoiled

>>9278 >It's kind of weird they're not bringing it back up immediately Not really. Because it'll get hacked again. See, 4chans codebase was proprietary. Unlike open source software which has to stay on top of security issues (because everyone can see the code, so it has to be rock solid to avoid getting hacked). Being proprietary meant that 4chan could have tons of bugs (even from the beginning) that they never bothered to patch or didn't even know about, because they were relying on the simple fact that nobody could see the code to protect them. Now that the code is available every single bug is out in the open. I have no doubt there's hackers already lining up dozens of exploits (ones they absolutely know will work, unless the 4chan devs patch it) ready to go as soon as 4chan comes back up. So it's not just 1 bug they have to fix. They have to fix everything now. They also have the challenge of updating an ancient version of BSD that the system was running on, and that too will cause problems. People are saying their estimated timeframe right now is at least several weeks to a month before they can come back online.

>>9151 Nipples are allowed. 2D female nudity is generally okay (as long as its not too low-effort/spammy, and if you're going to be posting it a lot try to keep it to its own thread) Sex should be spoilered, as well as any extreme content.

Strike Witches threads still get randomly deleted, force-archived, or otherwise getting fucked with. Pic related ban was probably to prevent anons from bumping the thread to keep it alive.

Should I expect the kgb spoiler thread here or is it going to be at another alt?

>>9292 Nah, the mood isn't right

>>9303 Where are the rules, board owner sama?

>>9299 The source code got leaked before.

>>9314 https://8chan.moe/a/rules.html Though they're pretty loose and not really adjusted yet to deal with a larger population. Expect them to be adjusted if the situation calls for it.

>>9299 Oh that's based >>9308 How can you expect to put anyone in the mood with that *thing* of yours that couldn't even please Kokonoe Rin

>>9317 leaked source =/= FOSS it's still proprietary and making changes to it is illegal which. Making changes illegal does not welcome contributors to fix bugs. Why would you fix someone else's shit in your free time that you can't even use?

>>9317 Oh, did it? How long ago was that? If it was over 10yrs ago that wouldn't really change the situation.

Can we get rid of /dbs/pics before it's too late? Not against the occasional Dragon Ball or shonen thread but we don't need three simultaneous dbs and one piece generals

>>9328 Probably, but I didn't see 4chan getting hacked every week because the source code was a single source file PHP monster full of ancient and insecure practices. Why should it be different this time? >>9327 That's a good question. Big tech companies who "got" security would offer bug bounties to avoid events like the recent one, or exploits getting sold to the CIA and nu-KGB.

>>9339 Containment threads are there for the greater food.

>>9339 There's only 1 Dragon ball thread right now.

>>9346 But they don't contain anything

>>9339 >>9351 Maybe most of them are on sharty, where they will feel right at home. And when 4chan is back, they will return to 4chan, culturally enriched with sharty memes.

>>9352 So it would seem but imagine the spillover if they weren't there to draw them to their own little pocket of the board.

>>9343 >KGB what does kagurabachi have to do with this

>>9343 >Why should it be different this time? Well I'm mostly just relaying what everyone else seems to be saying about it. And someone mentioned that 1month is basically what they were saying in the IRC. Maybe it's different because of how big 4chan is these days? idk, or maybe just some other reason entirely.

>>9356 I actually don't understand how anyone finds sharty memes funny, it's so unbelievably retarded. Maybe I'm just too old.

>>9343 >Big tech companies who "got" security would offer bug bounties to avoid events like the recent one, or exploits getting sold to the CIA and nu-KGB. Big tech companies still get some funny security vulnerabilites, see meltdown and spectre or the recent funny windows exploit: >"A critical vulnerability in Windows systems that support IPv6 was discovered in 2024, 16 years after the first affected system was released. Unless the relevant patch is applied, an attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on these systems. Microsoft considers exploits “likely.” The same sort of vulnerability in a free/libre operating system would probably be discovered sooner, since many more people would be able to look at the source code. " But 4chan team is incompetent premium since we know they use outdated shit. They could have switched to FOSS alternatives, such as Lainchan's thing or whatever this imageboard uses but nah. They're so incompetent they were not able/willing to upgrade.

>>9299 worth noting that nothing significant had been updated since 2015 so its safe to say moot left without actually leaving anyone competent behind, he was really carrying the site on its back

>>9363 They could overhaaul it to single page application to reduce server costs. The boards were worked like they were one anyway and its not like 4chan needs SEO.

>>9374 4chan is actually based on the public Futaba source code or something. >They could have switched to FOSS alternatives, such as Lainchan's thing or whatever this imageboard uses but nah. 8chan.moe also is open source. I think expecting them to migrate to one of the open source chans is unrealistic because: >they would suddenly lose all their old moderation tools >the new chan software would possibly not be able to take the load (they're all designed for very small user counts while 4chan is fucking big) >the source code would quickly desync and turn into a mess because upstream is not going to accept hacks needed to make the chan work in the real world >>9386 How would that reduce server costs? They already cache everything with cloudflare.

>>9374 >whatever this imageboard uses LynxChan. https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan

>>9406 >4chan is actually based on the public Futaba source code or something. Could be a lax open source license, meaning you can make it proprietary at any point in time. Read about permissive vs copyleft licenses. >they would suddenly lose all their old moderation tools Better to be hacked? >the new chan software would possibly not be able to take the load (they're all designed for very small user counts while 4chan is fucking big) Are there any actual performance issues in FOSS imageboard software or is this purely hypothetical? >the source code would quickly desync and turn into a mess because upstream is not going to accept hacks needed to make the chan work in the real world That's a skill issue. If they can't manage maintaining an imageboard in cooperation with other chans then they can't do it alone, which we can see by this idiotic situation.

>>9272 Ban frogs and jaks entirely. Treat them the same as pizza, and require all users to prove that they have read Yotsuba&. >>9367 They think that depicting people they don't like as ugly is some ultimate own when in reality it is completely foolish. You can't defeat ugliness with ugliness, only with beauty.

>>9326 That's a very interesting point you're making *rapes you in the mouth*

>>9406 I'm just assuming page html generation would still be a factor since it's php. A single static page that adjust to the routing and calling up Jason should be lighter no? You'd at least be able to see the board with latest data even if the crud operations went fubar again and they stored the results in a repo.

>>8838 noooo not the satoko thread with 10 posts aaaaaaaa

>>9421 Why are you so sure a modern image board software would be more secure? >>9433 I assume this would only affect posting speed. When you make a post, the server has to update all the HTML and API JSON, but really only once per post because the generated data is fed to a reverse proxy.

>>9430 *gargle* fuck how could I have *gargle* seen this cumming?

>>9449 >Why are you so sure a modern image board software would be more secure? Maintained things tend to have bugfixes, unlike 12 years old mootware. Also there's no excuse for riding on an outdated version of FreeBSD.

>>9456 They fixed bugs themselves. Using an open source chan wouldn't prevent them from doing shit like running on an outdated BSD either.

>>9084 Most of smug's conversation happen on their /kohi/ board. /a/ is for effortposting and image dumps.

>>9449 No? Html should be purely handled by js and only the json matters when updating. I'd set api cache to a minute and have the gets pull from the repo instead of the dB.

>>9461 >They fixed bugs themselves. They wouldn't get hacked if they really did. FOSS = more users and more potential bugfixes. If one altchan gets knocked down, a fix can be prepared in time to save other chans. If you mix a proprietary codebase and incompetent devs you get the shit we just got.

>>9470 >FOSS = more users and more potential bugfixes. Shit nobody uses and nobody wants to attack. 4chan must be intensely hated by millions of people, some of which are talented hackers. These are more eyes than will ever look at your shitty open source toy chans with good intentions.

>>9479 Not sure why do you even defend this shit after what happened and after we know they can't even update their FreeBSD.

>>9053 two months would be optimal

>>9482 Because I understand why they did it like this. I even understand why they didn't update their OS. Because it's only one, maybe two persons working on it, who aren't getting paid for such a thankless task that even requires downtime.

>>9272 >1. Pepe and wojack need to be banned from OP images SITE WIDE Make it Internet wide. Pepe is just a wojack and wojacks are fucking cancer. People were more creative when they had to make troll comics. Wojack is like AI slop before AI. It's what got us all into this mess.

>>9496 4chan would riot. Yes, it has become this bad.

>>9505 Dude imagine my face when I heard that soyjak.party is a chan that only allowed soyjaks Like just imagine What the actual fuck happened How does it get to this point This has to be a legit psyop because the brains are rotten to fucking dust

>>9305 But why strike witches specifically? Is it really because underaged panties is a no-no?

>>9492 >Because it's only one, maybe two persons working on it, who aren't getting paid for such a thankless task that even requires downtime. 4chan pass costs money, no? They get money from ads, no? Not to mention countless shills that were allowed to post, likely after some bribes. Also if they can't afford devs then it's a yet another reason to team up with other altchans to maintain their shit, then maybe they could afford 1-2 days of their time to upgrade their FreeBSD. And downtime and doxing also cost money so IMO their approach makes no sense. Security by obscurity doesn't work.

>>9522 No. We recently had the following threads which reached bump limit and made it to getting archived: >stealth loli hentai thread >various butt threads >the usual prism illya borderline porn dump threads >a pregnancy thread full of borderline porn >lots of threads discussing panties (sadly mostly because of schizos) But Strike Witches, it gets fucked with practically every time.

>>9538 All that money goes to Hiro and RapeApe.

Can any anons here help me test this new userscript I made for this site? https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/533077-lynxchan-extended-8chan Mainly need to know if the thread spoiler thing is working for you.

I'm going to miss all my storytimes. The lack of 4chan makes me realize now how much time I was spending on there and now not having it is starting to drive me crazy because I refuse to fill the void with anything else. What altchans are popular now?

>>9552 I think most anons are settling in here and desuarchive but I could be wrong

>>8926 >MUH ADHD, MUH SPEED go back to the 4cuck cage when it comes back online

>>9550 I could try that tomorrow after I read the source code. Going to bed now tho.

>>9560 kek was it your thread? must feel embarrassing

>>9560 I will.

>>9550 Speraking off scripts can one of you guys make X-Links work for 8chan? https://github.com/dnsev-h/x-links

>>9272 4/a/ is a glowie shithole for the sole purpose of attacking jp media you will get a gorillion more solo gookening or whatever their FOTM slop that fails to stick is and you will like it

>>9572 >attacking jp media why?

>>9248 >>9263

>>9305 Strike Witches get taken down because /a/ was a ground battles only board.

>>9492 >management neglects IT >demands a proprietary software stack out of ignorance >refuse to make any changes that will cause downtime and affect the bottom line >codebase stays neglected full of vulnerabilities for several years >someone finds an exploit and launches a zero-day >big data breach >millions of trannies 404 >management makes excuses and changes nothing how many times must this happen? there are now so many boomer-minded millennials around these days that I don't even think the death of the boomers will help much

>>9577 They're having a flame under their ass

>>9558 Speaking of ghost, did they implement an ip range ban in the past year? I know I used to be able to post there but now the reply box simply doesn't show up no matter what i click.

Today I visited the dbs general in ghost for the first time ever and holy shit I did not expect it to be THIS horrible. Legit shocking. Didn't know how good I had it in my seasonals. Even yuri/bait threads are 10 times better.

>>9577 I really hope it gets hacked again really really badly, if it does it's the rise of altchans for good

>>9578 Gup strike witches crossover fucking when >never ever

>>9579 >zero day >bug so old /a/ calls it a hag

>>9577 Fake.

>>9572 Nah. They just had a CR wagie on the mods according to the leak. Must have been the same guy making those threads shilling gook levelling.

>>9522 Probably due to not paying the SBI extortion fee or something similar. At this point it's basically confirmed jannies were on the payroll (or worse, were trannies doing it for free) to attack JP media while promoting gookslop. The most comical part of this was having the FOTM reddit romcom slop air (5bun, oshit no ko, kaguya, etc), insulting some random girl from the show, and having an assmad janny randomly 3 day you.

>>9594 lol who tf gets pwned by a a bug they already know about

>>9589 Reminder DBSpics managed to make a tool that spoofs the 4chan pass to bypass bans and the 900 second wait timer. Yes, they literally pirate 4chan passes, the faggots are in a closed circle (likely a pisscord) and don't share it outside of it tho.

>>9607 It was a CVE 10 years ago. Now it's an UVE.

>>9612 what makes you say that? they can't be this tech savvy

>>9571 That stuff is quite big so I'll have to hold onto that for now. >>9561 Thanks anon.

>>9614 they literally built a parallel cell network to keep the federales from snooping on their own one, they're actually very intelligent and highly sophisticated when communicating in their own language, and they totally didn't just pay off a white guy to set it up with money they stole

>>9614 They, probably not, but an Aryan Argentinian might.

Can the clouds stop moving, I'm starting to get motion sickness

I hope this goes for 3 weeks. The withdrawl appears to be very real and for the sake of public sanity alts can be good medicine.

>>9630 change the theme to Tomorrow upper left

>>9576 Revenge for Pearl Harbor

>>9577 Oh thank God, I don't have to be on these shit-ass altchans any longer than necessary.

>>9572 >DB gets banished to /trash/. honestly I think it's best they be contained into their own board along other shonen that are similar to that.

>>9645 Honestly I think be best that it comes back quietly so the spammers don't realize it's back. Though the three weeks will probably result in them just pestering other image boards.

>>9653 they wont because it would mean moving gookslop to their own boards, and that shit dies without being parasites in other generals or spamming it with paid jeets and even then with the jeets they still need constant page 10 bumps

>>9658 Spammers are literal paid agents, they will realize it's back once their handlers tell them.

okay but you haven't given an actual reason why these particular anime shouldn't be allowed on /a/ except for racism

what the 4chanx equivalent of 8chan?

>>9646 I prefer Royal.

>doesn't immediately scroll to bottom when I refresh I hate this place

>>9522 >Is it really because underaged panties is a no-no? honestly probably is exactly the reason why it gets targeted because you can't really do a stealth loli thread like that.

>>9646 thanks, switched to MoeOS8

>>9658 >Though the three weeks will probably result in them just pestering other image boards. They are already doing that and getting banned by mods because guess what? Unlike back home mods do their job.

>>9646 I like Yukkuri theme, but it doesn't color posts when I mouse over post links.

The D-Day just proved that /a/ was infested with bots and shills that disappear altogether never to be seen again in other altchan.

>>9662 Insofar as we have a long-term goal, it really does need to be to take down the entire modern global order. Jews, Pajeets, Glowies, Chinks, they're all fucking filth and they get in the way of my posting, so they all need to go. It all needs to be destroyed.

>>9695 you saw the leak that 50% of all posts sitewide were from israel alone? that's 25 posts from literally every single person a day for those numbers, more realistically nearly 50 posts a day per person above 15, almost 100 a day per person above 20 that was 100% literal bot farms

>>9685 That yukkuri in the theme wheel I think is outdated compared to what it looks like in >>>/jp/ >t. designed the yukkuri theme back before refugee migration

>>9686 And normoids that just went back to xitter and discord.

>>9272 >1. Pepe and wojack need to be banned from OP images SITE WIDE at least they were banned on /a/, though i am shocked that /qa/ was just so obsessed with wojacks on that level.

>smuglo.li is also fucking slow Which altchans do people talk about seasonal shows?

>>9701 that pic was fake anon

the one thing that I missed on /a/ was the whole (talk about an anime that doesn't exist) threads due to how creative everyone got with those threads. I would of created one of those myself but it was a dice role on if the mods would allow it to exist or not.

>>9701 That's an edited 4plebs screenshot from like 2021, retard-kun.

>>9306 I'm sure someone will post them here

>>9720 /ghost/ posting in the last thread for that show or here

>>9720 no clue. I'm hoping most seasonalfags will slowly end up here

>>9742 whats the point of ghost posting if you can't post images

>>9720 pro-tip for smuglo.li: if you want instant response, post on the active cafe thread on smuglo.li/kohi/ also the /kohi/ meidos are more relaxed. smug/a/ is moderated by a bunch of uptight crusty old boomers that absolutely follows their rule page down to the letter.

>>9720 Just make the thread for it and people will (probably) post in it

>Go to ryo's site >New post >Series anime announcement >Shitty Isekai Sad

>>9752 took a peek for a bit it looks more like /a/random and impossible to talk about specific episode that's just released

>>9752 >also the /kohi/ meidos are more relaxed. I got banned for not using capitalized letter is that supposed to be relaxed?

>>9800 They have an automaid on a hair-trigger. Smug is pretty gay anyways, every anon there is basically a carbon copy of each other.

>>9800 why are some anons just this allergic to board rules?

>>9814 *Why

>>9814 more like out of habit never bothered with capitalization because no such retarded rules in /a/

>>9814 come on anon, that's a retarded rule and you know it

>>9822 :^)

>>9827 It wasn't a rule but you used to get called out for that.

>>9748 you can ascii post

>thread watcher lets you know that you made a post in a thread you're following this was the case in 4chan's thread watcher but I just had every thread open on auto in a tree-style tab before

>>9731 I hated those threads because I'm a faggot that doesn't like to play along with other peoples' made up bullshit

>>9731 Fuck no those were always full of generic reddit circlejerk memes.

>>9989 >>9998 I never cared for those threads either.

>>9989 >I hated those threads because I'm a faggot I mean at least you admit it.

>>10060 Tell me, in your own words, what was so good about those threads as compared to every other thread when it came to fostering creativity.

>>9989 >>10122 >as compared to every other thread when it came to fostering creativity that's a nice joke

>>10131 >that's a nice joke Do I have to be mentally impaired to get it?

>>10137 because it's funny that you thought the other threads actually fostered any creativity.

>>10157 Are you sure I said that?

>>9522 Can somebody with the leaked database go check what the hidden ban reasons were for for the Strike Witch threads? I think ABIB had a massive autistic grudge against it

>>10199 the way you worded made it sounded like that what you meant. though now thinking about it some of those threads did get hijacked by people with stupid idea.

>>9306 Yeah I'll make the thread once they're out

>>9720 Try https://8kun.top/a/catalog.html

holy fuck

>>10235 DON'T show the /dbs/cucks this image

>>10235 YUP YUP, I'm just like my hero.

I don't know if board volunteer or board owner or site owner will see this, but: are there any plans to add an integrated reverse image look up feature to the site? It's somewhat inconvenient to look up images posted here since your site blocks all connections from SauceNAO.

>>9550 Can you add inline reply toggle? As well as infinite inlines? Having to click the x is annoying, and you can only go one level deep in a chain.

>>9522 Some mod just hated it.

>>10227 Thanks but this looks even more dead I don't see a single thread for this seasons show

>>9577 Fuck I hope so

>>10259 > SauceNAO Use trace.moe, it'sa way more functional

>>10285 Start sifting through https://allchans.org to see whether you find any active anime board.

>>8830 >refugee thread >post /v/ image I hate you already.

>>9273 Nah, soyjak.party is their new honeypot. 4chan is only for bot training.

I hate change

Sean

>>9552 Just use that time to read more manga and watch more anime. It's what I've been doing and truly enjoying myself.

>>9720 https://prolikewoah.com/animu is fairly active.

8chan is a pretty damn comfy shelter so far, let's hope we go back up so we can go home before, well, you know

>>10642 It was funny seeing normalfags doompost about the "containment" being broken and how "4channers" were gonna take over twitter and reddit of all places. They really don't get it at all.

>>10675 wtf so we were the one in being containment cage afterall

>>10675 There are certainly other altchans which share the same views.

>>10211 You'd have to go ask whoever hacked the site and hope that they downloaded the entire database beforehand

>storytime finished two days before the nuke a blessing in disguise

>>9053 People will go back which I'm sad about because I prefer it here already. 4chan is so outdated and the mods and jannies are faggots.

>>10705 >mods and jannies are faggots. Probably won't have to worry about that anymore. Or at least, not about the same fags as before. Makes me wonder if they're really taking their time only because of technical issues, or to sort that part out, as well.

>>10705 I'll go back for certain things, but I'm already migrating over completely to smug for series discussion because it may be slow, but there aren't the usual schizos spamming >is this yuri? >is this ntr? etc. etc. Over and over >>10713 They'll likely need a whole new set of them, plus a change in how they recruit them as even the kind of autist that would want to be a janny is probably going to want some kind of guarantee around the security of their personal data going forward.

did moot comment on the hack?

>>10723 who?

>>10723 >moot who the fuck is that?

>>10723 moot perpetrated the hack

>>10720 >guarantee around the security of their personal data going forward. How hard is it to just use a specific email separated from your personal life for janny applications? Or doxxers will get you anyway?

>>10730 >How hard is it to just use a specific email separated from your personal life for janny applications? Not very. But people are people: stupid, lazy, feckless, ignorant, don't think it will happen to them, don't want to jump through the loopholes of setting an additional one up, und so weiter...

>>10730 All it can take is a retarded mod who's accepting non-burner emails because its much easier.

>>10747 I have like 15 different emails for every thing I need to create an account and have any form of payment information on

>>10723 no-one cares about your ecelebs

>>10759 Same, but I stand by my point that people are people and in general that means they make retarded decisions because it's cheaper and easer

>>10767 *easier

>>10767 It just seems so dumb to me to apply to the biggest imageboard full of stalker schizos without taking any extra precautions. They should have known what they were getting into.

>>10778 Oh I agree, they "should'' have, but: 1. see my previous comments about people 2. possibly you, based on what you're saying, and definitely I come from a time where tying who you were in the real world to who you are online is just a bad idea. The current generation has been herded and brainwashed by their own cupidity into accepting that this is what's done by corporations wanting to sell them more shit. Most of them wouldn't bat an eye if an account registration form asked them for their exact address, which window leads to their room, and the approximate hours of the day they spend in it, if they thought they were going to get some kind of celebrity out of it.

>>9827 you used to get called out on /a/ when you type like an ESL. Self-moderation schizophrenics really hate it when you're posting an emoticon that's not used on 2ch or using ellipsis wrong

>>10759 >15 Small time.

>>10723 i'm pretty sure he was murdered by the shadow government. "hired by google" yeah right.

https://8chan.moe/a/res/197.html#253 https://8chan.moe/a/res/197.html#5158 Funny how culture changes.

>>10847 murdered for being a neet? in your dreams

I think I like it here more...even if 4chan comes back I'll just stay here.

>>10967 You might as well tell all your frogfriends and soyteens to come over too. This board allows frogs and jaks it seems

>>10973 I don't have friends and I'm nearly 30...

>>10985 same but Im 37

>>10973 I can only guess that the moderation style here is more lenient and that they will only start deleting and banning posts when someone becomes an actual problem. On 4chan /a/, consequently banning frogs was a sign that the mods still had a minimum of care for /a/, and that outside of /a/ was a waste land (because frogs prospered on other boards).

>>8830 Cute witch.

>>10990 I used to have way more friends when I was younger. They are overrated.

>refusing to effort post on every alt chan retards know about out of spite >no one else does it either and it's just newfags acting confused and wondering when 4chan will be up lol this is funny

>>9800 >for not using capitalized letter cringe >>10259 4c wasnt perfect but it had so much nicly implemented stuff, i miss it >>10967 please stay gone frogposter (or post better pictures)

When’s the next smoking behind the supermarket chapter?

>>9800 I like the idea but this still seems overly strict.

I think this might be healthy in the long run, the worst, biggest normalfags are waiting for 4chan and people who are actually interested in these hobbies will move to websites like this, this could end up being a good thing?

Can we agree that sameface is a lazy criticism if you’re going for a semi realistic style?

▲ ▲ ▲

>>11038 Hopefully bots and shills don't move over too.

>>11179 they will if this place gains enough traction

>>10993 most people are just gonna wait for 4chan, cause at least they have the bandwidth for that much traffic

>>9645 4chan's 'safety features' were super outdated, if they bring it back so soon; it'll just get hacked again. They need to save the site by, first, getting rid of all the old admins and mods that just stayed there doing absolutely nothing for so long. 4chan was basically a fossil from the Internet of the 2000s being held together by duck tape. I miss it, too; but it can't just come back so soon with no real upgrades to maintenance.

>>11068 people in the real world don't have the same face sounds like "semi realistic" is an excuse for "we don't care enough about this to use any creativity to make the character designs stylized in any way, but still please make the one with white hair and a big hat your waifu"

>>11068 huh?

>>11204 > if they bring it back so soon; it'll just get hacked again. It doesn't work like this. They will setup a new server and reinstall everything. Maybe perform a source code audit if you're lucky.

>>11204 It can and it will come back up as soon as they can bring it up while making as few changes as possible. What do you think got them into this mess in the first place? Being responsible and doing their due diligence? And it'll get rekt again, and I hope a lot lot worse comes out of it. Not just pizzas being delivered to a few addresses. I'm talking mods getting knocks on their front doors, RapeApe lynched and beaten, panic and rioting in the streets. I want to see it all burn.

>>8838 Truly a worthwhile piece of history worth keeping

>>11038 i would agree but /u/ was imperative to my hobbies. very easy to get translations from there, and people on twitter and reddit are complete morons about yuri

>>11224 They will probably not store email addresses on the server anymore, so this will not happen again. If they're clever, they'll even force everyone to login to the mod interface through a separate proxy. If they get hacked, the result will be worthless crap like ban logs.

Ok so I have one retarded newfag question: why is /a/ so against korean/chinese/whatever anime stylized animation (aka gookshit)? Is it about authenticity or something else?

>>491 It wasn't even a lain thread.

>>11237 because /a/ is retarded and it isn't manga. For anime, it's just puritans being moronic for the sake of ragebaiting

>>11237 We're weebs. That shit can fuck off to /co/.

>>11204 It is amazing to me that this catalogue pretty much looks exactly the same minus some shitposting with almost no moderation whatsoever, which makes me wonder if the jannies and mods were largely the ones shitposting to begin with. Like there are no "what did I think of X" or rec threads or a gorillion one piece and naruto threads, stupid shit like that. Why did we even have mods?

>>11260 I know what threads I'm making now

>>11260 Yeah, that totally isn't because of the split up user base. I don't know which threads the mods on 8chan might have deleted here, though.

>>11260 More users, more noise

>>11260 Because only the people who actually gave 2 shits actually cared enough to find another imageboard

>>11260 If they exceed a ban/deletion quota they get fired. Apparently.

>>11264 Go for it and see what it gets you, I'm not exactly camping out here.

>>11245 Autism comes under different names and forms I guess, thanks for explanation. >>11255 Then posting Moomins on /a/ should be fine? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin_(1969_TV_series)

>>11272 What I've heard is that they had a minimum quota and reported random shit/got threads deleted undeservedly to meet it. Everyone makes up whatever the heck, it seems.

>>11276 >Moomin Yes, it is fine.

All the trash posters just literally went back to reddit

>>11281 You mean generally or literal /trash/ posters?

>>11276 >Then posting Moomins on /a/ should be fine No I hate Finns, I hate them!!

>>11282 General, the types who reposted the same threads every day on every board

>>11276 There were occasional Moomin threads on /a/ I even got the soundtrack in one of them. Shame the original anime was never subbed as far as I was aware.

>>11283 you can't escape

What the /loli/ board

>>11272 >>11277 I think both are true. If a janny does too little, he's considered useless. Did you know that jannies have to follow a schedule with times at which they have to be present? It sounds worse than a fucking low-wage job. If they do too much, a janny is considered harmful, because he changes the board too much and upsets all the worthless shitposter.

>>11289 fug :-D

>>11276 >Moomin (ムーミン, Mūmin) is a Japanese anime television series >a Japanese anime television series >Japanese anime Of course it's fine you fucking Piikkilankaeste

>>11237 Generally speaking the guys who keep trying to talk about it do not come across as sincere. It just feels like endless baiting for attention instead of any real interest in it. Then you have the mtl sites which are just ESL's milking a quick buck from a tiny group of cows who will pay them to put these things through a machine translation. Also, all the good gookshit is kept under lock and key at novelpia by the gooks. They'll DMCA anyone and everyone with the slightest hint of disturbuting their webnovels for free.

>>11291 seems to be ghost town

>>11237 Korean manhwa is dogshit. Cultivation stories and other Chink psychopath stuff however should be allowed.

>>11237 >anime stylized animation >stylized That one word is the reason. It's not anime. Like AI slop will never be art, and shartyposters will never be human, manwha and other gookshit will never be something that belongs on /a/

>a 4chan refugee made a /trash/ board here >it's already the 5th most active by PPH on the site

>>11296 But Moomin books are Finnish. Going along with this logic Solo Leveling should also be fine, because while the web novel was Korean, it was animated by a Japanese studio. Or is there different logic involved when the source is gookshit?

>>11237 I can't speak for korean but Chinese storytelling is so shitty, it only ever works if they heavily borrow or steal story progression like with Tower of God you need 1000 pages of script to explain a situation in chinese storytelling, its all MUH romance of the three kingdoms

>>11308 >>11308 >Or is there different logic involved when the source is gookshit? No it's when the source is well written, and not a fucking childish power fantasy "webnovel" by one of your microdicked fellow countrymen

>>11237 because its not anime /co/ exists for cartoons, use it

>>9577 >you can check yourself You literally can't.

>>11274 >I'm not exactly camping out here. Yes, you are.

I can already see the shitflinging meta when everyone goes back and anons start judging who came back from where. if you came back from reddit, kiwifarms and 8chan prepare to be attacked and told to leave. ghostfags and those who didn't go anywhere would feel superior. ironically enough I think those who didn't go anywhere are turbo failed normalfags with social lives who can actually afford to take a break. I do wonder where all the schizos went tho

>>11237 i dont have anything against it but it still isnt /a/. it needs its own board OR we need a split in boards for asian manga/animation or asian retro animation and new stuff or whatever. i like the idea ob /vb/ or /wsj/ on here too, but not sure it would help in this case. people also wanted a manga only board since forever. theres defenetly some room for improvement without splitting too much i think.

>>11320 >I do wonder where all the schizos went tho Shitting up /ghost/ right now. Though perhaps not all of them, but it is a shitshow.

>>11324 ghost is 99% just dbz. are you telling me all schizos came from there?

>>9577 >>11317 I checked and found no hint that anyone said anything like the post implies.

>>11326 lol ofc dbz=normalfags=shizos

>>11326 Beats me. But honestly, would it be a surprise? Probably not.

>>11237 make a gookshit board /mwa/ or something for that type of stuff /a/ is meant for jap stuff only

>>11320 I will be judging anyone who went to sharty. Thos fuckers are permanently tainted

>>11320 >I do wonder where all the schizos went tho Kiwifarm's 4chan thread is littered with them. They first went to the sharty, but it got shut down due to the overwhelming traffic. I've seen a lot of them on /pol/ here and in 8kun; but they're being quieter because they don't want to get banned again.

>>11321 I know people hate the idea but /a/ really just needs a generals board. Most of it is OK, it's just the shounenspics shitting up half of it. It would basically be a /wsj/ except that are still a lot of wsj series that don't have huge fanbases so it would be mean to try and shove them off to a faster board just because of what they happen to be printed in.

>>11333 triples for truth

>>11298 >>11305 >>11312 >>11314 >>11315 >>11321 >>11330 Ok, now I got a full range of opinions, thanks.

>>11320 >8chan Why? I believe the people who say they're not affiliated with the original 8chan staff (that is on 8kun now).

>>11333 The ads plastered all over that place are abysmal.

We need to bring ACK here.

>>11333 He's true. I used to lurk /qa/ before it got frozen but i've never felt the urge to make a soyjak until now

does anybody know what powers 8chan.moe? https://gitgud.io/8chan/Aleph, but that's not the backend engine

>>11260 I've said it many times, and I'll say it again (no matter how many times idiots try to gaslight me about it). The problem with /a/ was that threads died too quickly. Any thread that didn't get bumped within 1hr would die. So honestly... It shouldn't take a genius to figure out what kind of threads are going to thrive in that environment. Of course it's going to be the dumbest threads that can rake in tons of shitposts. The problem actually was less about the userbase or the mods, it was a problem with the thread lifetime. There's already new threads in the catalog right now that would have been pruned by now if this was 4chan /a/. I don't get why this seems to be rocket science for most people. /a/ has the same number of maximum threads (150) that it had back in 2003. Yet in 2025 you have probably 100x the population being crammed into the same space. Seriously why am I the only one who can figure this out?

>>11339 it wouldn't matter. you went to an alt, therefore you're a traitor and a faggot and a shill.

>>11343 I miss MKL

>>11349 I don't agree.

>>11347 2D cuties running on hamster wheels

>>11336 i honeslty mostly hate the MY WAIFU XY, FEET or WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO HER trashthreads with no point whatsoever. thats what an /ar/ board would be good for i guess if people really wanna do that with their life

>>11351 How can you miss him when he's still in every thread? He doesn't wear the trip but he still makes it obvious

>>11348 true. it is kinda weird that the max number of threads was never adjusted for the increase in population. you can even make it dynamic, it's super easy to implement.

>>11351 Who is MKL?

>>11352 neither am I but that's the thought process of the common 4channer

>>11362 >why is this more/less popular than Kurakon?

>>11358 is he really here? is that you?

>>11361 >implying there was anyone left who knew how to make any changes You have seen the leaked php, right?

>>11371 So? /v/ has more threads than /a/.

>>11361 Yeah, I've gotten banned for suggesting it too. I think now we know why. They didn't want people to ask these questions because they were too lazy or incompetent to touch the source code.

>>11371 I skimmed the first hundred lines or so

here's hoping that people realize how fullchan was superior in almost every way back in the day, especially since the one thing it lacked a proper answer to, the legendary half/a/, hasn't existed for a long time, and they choose to stay here for a little while longer

>>11387 Who?

>>11361 Mods and Admins are lazy incompetent faggots, if the site running on a 2013 version of PHP wasn't enough evidence.

>>11389 8 / 2 = 4

>>8935 >are there actually 8channers who aren't 4channers? Yes. I don't know what will happen when 4chan goes live again, but right now it's nice seeing 8chan full of life again.

>>10270 Thats kinda annoying to make and the feature already exists in dollchan and also in this anon's script https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/533067-fullchan-x

>>11351 I miss pantyschizo

>>11410 no you don't

I don't miss romcom schizo.

>>11376 And when was that change made anon?

>Service Unavailable >The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. it's starting to belive

>>11410 the fuck you do, shutup you know who i really miss though? Grumpy Jii-san.

>>11422 I don't know, but I found it's literally a single line in a's config file they'd have to add.

>>11426 They didn't perform basic security updates that take 5 seconds over the course of a decade. Why do you think they'd put any effort in?

>>11424 boards.4chan.org still returns the same error as ever.

This chan looks nice. Too bad 4chan is going to come back in a few hours or days and then it's going to become a ghost town again. What does the "Bypass check" option do? I see the "bypass/captcha" section in the help page but I don't understand how/if they're related.

>>11428 they do put effort into april fools

>>11450 >Wot if we shut down the site? Fucking mental innit

>>11438 https://4chan.org/ was getting hold util time out now I get instant get error 503 I think this is something good..

>>11446 >Too bad 4chan is going to come back in a few hours or days Doubt honestly. They need to suddenly find money to pay someone competent to audit/fix their shit. The value of 4chan is literally only the brand and its shitty userbase. As days go the userbase gets thinner and in the end they could try selling that shit to someone more competent and run away with the money.

I am not coping well with the situation.

>>11446 Most altchans are depressingly empty. This one is just comfy empty. I almost feel bad posting here. Its like I am stepping on someone else's nice garden.

>>11451 Chisato is gay.

if this or some other decent altchan had something like 4chanx and other stuff implemented i would prob stay, sadly im not good enough in script stuff to do it myself

>>11482 4chanxt (mostly) works on smug

>>11446 >>11466 They said to expect like 2-3 weeks before it's back up, if I remember correctly. Besides fixing the technical issues, they probably also need new staff.

>>11260 i'm pretty confident that most boards on 4chan had some degree of organized spam to make them worse from discords and random bot farms, it makes sense that the discussion here would be higher quality since why would those groups bother going somewhere else? Not to mention all the boomer schizos who are too tech illiterate to find an altchan won't come here either. Your main point that mods did absolutely nothing is agreeable though, if one good thing did come out of this its discovering that mods/jannies need a private ban reason, I always felt like they didn't give a fuck about the rules and just banned people they didn't like so it was nice seeing how true that actually was. When (if) 4chan comes back I hope they give users more self-moderation options and cut down on mods, it makes sense someone moderating 4chan would not be mentally healthy and especially when they are not getting paid and not getting held to any standard of quality work, they're not going to perform their function.

>>11491 The janitor mail said the headmod is going to talk to every single janny. That alone will take long.

>>11494 so true sis

>>11496 Why bother? They do it for free anyways.

>>11470 I was kinda hoping for people to move around in droves but they just kinda fizzled out

I'm surprised at how low /pol/ is, wasn't this website founded by them?

>>11522 You're thinking of 8kun

>>11501 They'll finally get paid via all those pizzas that get delivered to them

>>11522 >>11524 Also Russia is blocked on 8chan.moe (because Russia gave them shit for loli, they consider it CP)

>>11530 How many mods or jannies got seriously doxxed?

>>11522 There was an older 8chan that got shut down and became >>11524 I think this version of 8chan is completely separate from those, it just uses the same software

>>11533 Based, they need to block Israel and India ips too

>>11541 >Israel This is also blocked. They claimed 99% of CP posts came from there.

>>11533 Since when Russia cares about pizza?

>>11536 It's on kiwifarms, we have the usernames of all the jannies and some of their real names (plenty of SEAmonkeys and American trannies on that moderation team). Surprisingly few direct links to glowies aside from a Florida cop who was part of an arrest recently.

>>11554 do you have a source on this because usually its from the Philippines i feel like you may be pulling my leg here anon

>>11558 That means nothing, you fucking retard. Some used an unique nick name and burner emails. The dumb ones used a real name or an email address associated with their social media accounts. The question is how many of the latter really got exposed. Also there was someone with a name similar to that Sheriff, who was found unrelated to him. >>11568 An admin posted that on the /b/ thread.

>>11494 >users more self-moderation options and cut down on mods idk if that would be any better. having a set of rules that has to be followed seems like the most basic and easy to understand path for all sides to me. random users would ban random shit, that will just be misused.

>>11582 you dont let people ban that would be stupid Futaba boards have 3 distinct differences for self-moderation, i'm reciting this from memory so i could be wrong but I think all of these would be a good idea 1. the OP can delete posts from his own thread (this would work fine for like every board except /vg/) 2. Users can "downvote" a post but it doesnt function like a reddit downvote. If a user gets enough downvotes in one thread he gets post IDs revealed on all of his posts, if he gets even more then all of his posts in the thread are deleted. 3. public sage is still a thing I know people are resistant to anything resembling reddit downvotes but I think this system is distinct enough that it wouldn't cause the same problem where everything is a circlejerk of homogenous opinions that reddit has, the downvotes basically only exist to expose shit users and eject them from threads. 4chan has a massive problem with this and for years one or two schizos have just laid waste to entire discussion topics, if everyone could just immediately eject them from a thread I think it would be a big improvement. It would also expose spam bots in a more efficient way than the 900 second timer which only worked for a small amount of time and then the bots found a way around it.

>>11558 whats the kiwifarms URL these days? I haven't been there since before the keffals incident.

>>11609 This all sounds easily exploitable. Schizos are already the ones making threads for most seasonals and generals. Not to mention the likes of LRD or ACK would just spend all day mass downvoting everyone.

I miss /sp/ so much brehs, there really isn't a good /sp/ replacement on any of the altchans.

>>11614 kiwifarms.st

>>11237 Because it's extremely obviously astroturfed and was such even before korean companies accidentally admitted they literally astroturf it.

I expect the Sharty to get taken down within the coming weeks.

>>11652 why do the japanese have no such schizos...

>>11723 I mean, it was obviously being shilled. The OP of those threads would always sperg out in broken English if you called them out for it. I assumed it was some SEAfaggot doing it, not the actual gooks themselves.

>>11723 >tl;dr Where exactly on that screenshot are they admitting it?

>>11736 It'll just go back up soon enough. This hack ensured that it will have a permanent userbase going forward (it was slowly dying out like every other altchan prior to this)

>>11737 Because of the difference between guilt based cultures (like the West), and shame based cultures (like Japan)

>>11737 They obviously do. Anyone with half a brain can tell it's a better system than hoping tranny jannies will save you. People that are saying it would get exploited or whatever are shitposters/schizos themselves.

>>11748 honestly i'm fine with that people who would willingly post on the sharty are dogshit users who i'd want exiled from 4chan anyways, if some 4chan users leave for the sharty and never come back that's a good thing. also hoping some /pol/ users stay on 8kun but that one i'm a lot more doubtful of

>>11748 Whatever happens, the Feds will certainly start looking into it.

>>11609 >Have to hope you're not posting under a schizo OP and have to avoid getting on OP's bad side >post "dubs are trash" in a thread full of redditors and get downvoted to oblivion I'm just brainstorming, but you could give OP permission to propose a deletion, and users who were active around the time of the post could approve with a poll (posters who started after the proposal could be the victim samefagging, people who only posted hours beforehand could have made a placeholder to book a vote), but then again you could end up with cancer communities protecting themselves I like poster ID during heated debates (maybe even a "show flag" button on /pol/), you could just add a button that says "request ID" instead of calling it a downvote

>>11540 Nah, it uses a different software. Old 8chan used vichan.

>>11737 The nail that stands out gets hammered there

>>11767 Please stop throwing around these extremely surface level, telegraphed interpretations that are many decades old which you picked up second-second-second-hand. It's embarrassing.

Nips assume the majority of the userbase will always be on the same side, they're not used to thinking in terms of outsider invasions

>>11791 not necessarily. it could easily be exploited by discord cliques

>>11737 Actual working moderation team

>>11876 How about you go fuck yourself? How about that.

how about: every poster has an ID but it's hidden. see a poster that ruins the thread for you? click "hide posts from this anon" and boom all of his posts are gone (for you). those who don't mind the shitposts can have their cake and those who want a quieter thread have theirs too.

>>11890 You need to make it obvious when such a mechanism is abused. It needs to be completely transparent. >>11915 How do you make the IDs visible?

>>11876 Not him but it's evident many aspects of japanese culture are about implied shame (not like that's gonna stop schizos, if anything schizos thrive in this environment imo, they're immune to shame)

Come to wapchan it's way more comfy and the admins super chill https://wapchan.org

>>11913 >>11938 Ignore the tard that thinks its clever

>>11941 Too dead.

>>11941 couldn't find where the fuck the catalog is

>>11356 /vb/ exists, so should /ab/

>>11941 Holy fuck they have a Lum board? Mega based

>>11652 this, they would just make scripts for downvoting their "enemys"

>>11941 Tried it but it was too dead.

>>11967 At the bottom, just like on 4chan.

>>11915 this would be absolutely no different than post IDs because you could just hide someone's posts and identify them. There might as well be an option to toggle post IDs at that point.

>>11941 It's somehow more dead than this shithole

>>11976 I'm against (visible) post IDs because it's a step closer to forced usernames and it removes a layer of anonymity. people should be able to flip flop on ideas and samefag if they want to as long as it's acceptable by other anons. this system just makes it so each anon has control over how much they're willing to tolerate others, and it can't be exploited.

>>11522 It was more like the website was founded by /a/ as 4can existed because something awful banned moot for talking about anime.

>>11038 I hope you never return to /a/ then, friend

>>11308 I think Jansson wrote them in swedish, but yeah they're finnish in soul

>>11967 There's a giant catalog button on every page

>>11941 i actually like it, the boards are based

The only really active threads on this boards are high post rate generals which existed on 4chan.

>>11470 I think it’s because 4chan is basically the border of the core net (core net including sites like YouTube, google, Twitter/X, Reddit) so most people gravitate to 4chan then to other image boards.

>>12039 Not enough people moved over in the migration.

>>11941 >no /a/ board whats the point?

/Ghost/ is literally having a schizo off right now

>>12077 >right now

>>12077 I stopped caring about the ghost thread a day ago.

It's back >>>/jp/ /jp/ should be added to /a/'s friend boards

>>12109 What's the point of that when kissu is basically an entire website of /jp/

>>12024 Jansson belongs to a small minority of finns that speak swedish as their native language. They are still 100% finns though, and their language is commonly referred to as fenno-swedish to differentiate it from normal swedish.

>>12077 ghosts are a schizo magnet, I don't know why, maybe because they're text-only

>>12124 What are the historical reasons for their existence

>>12125 >because they're text-only No, it's because it's jannyless.

>>11890 Threads are already shit. The current system is already exploited. Again, only bad actors or genuine low IQ retards believe the status quo is better.

We definitely need self-moderation tools. What is the alternative? In the best case, we'd have active jannies who listen to the board and do what we want, without the possibility that bad actors mislead them. All of this is 100% unrealistic and delusional. My own ideas: >a "first post by this IP" mark >mark quotes as (me) if a poster replies to himself >give OP certain powers over his thread, but make all OP-mod actions visible to everyone >add possibility to vote-kick posts

>>12127 Swedish colonization, probably?

>>12195 most of these are pretty terrible

>>12206 >most More than 50%? Like you don't even want the first and second items?

>>12195 >>mark quotes as (me) if a poster replies to himself Maybe something that exposes samefagging could help, but it wouldn't deter botting and ultimately would only be one more hoop to jump through for schizos. They could post on a phone and desktop PC for example to get around it.

>>12195 >>mark quotes as (me) if a poster replies to himself that'd be awesome kek

>already banned from 3 alt-chans Maybe I need a good long look in the mirror.

>>12231 List your bans.

>>8978 Why would this place need more israeli posters?

>>10720 >Is this yuri? Mods were so gay on 4chan, replying with "no" to that could very well get you a 3-day ban. Good riddance. Much more shit than good.

>>12231 You're a menace anon

>>12127 a relic from when finland was part of sweden back when crusades were a thing

>>12252 somehow I doubt that, but also I have no power to stop you guys bringing that kind of shitflinging here so

>>12166 not saying there shouldn't be a system, but systems that can be exploited to punish wrongthink aren't the answer. the last thing I want is to tip toe around what I wanna post in fear I might get expelled from the thread. I think a system where anon has the power to hide posters he doesn't like himself is preferable. schizos can still engage with those who want to engage with them or scream to the void if nobody wants to hear them. give anons control over what they want to see, not over what others should see. personally I learned to live with schizos so I can just ignore them unless it's a whole fucking thread full of them, so this kind of system fits my views better >>12195 I doubt the IP will be back, because it's basically the counter that was removed vote kick can be exploited so it needs some further thought put into it. the other ideas are good

>>12252 Pretty sure that was specifically the /a/ mod, who was a known giant yurifag. The only plus side here is that when 4cuck comes back he'll go back to having to deal with HIS autism, which I feel we're only currently escaping because he's busy shitting up /ghost/.

>>12195 >>a "first post by this IP" mark wanst this a thing once? i remember there being a number for a new ip in brackets, or did i dream that

>>12231 did you also forget to capitalize first letter?

what the fuck is /ghost/

>>12277 A spirit of a dead imageboard

>>12272 4chan-x sometimes displayed it. It deduced it from the IP counter. If there was 1 new post and the IP counter incremented by 1, it said the post was by a new IP. It was only a heuristic, which didn't display anything if the information was ambiguous, like 2 new posts with 1 new IP.

>>12277 desuarchive posting

>>12286 ah might have been 4cx then. i kinda liked it and it didnt compromise that much over anonymity

>>12270 >vote kick can be exploited so it needs some further thought put into it. the other ideas are good Maybe it could be part of a post you make, like quoting the post you want to get kicked and adding a special keyword below the quote. When you see that there are many posts that votekick a specific post and are by new IP, you can tell it's someone trying to abuse the mechanism. What happens then? I don't know yet.

>>9577 This is fake btw t. was in the IRC for three days after the Jak attack

>>11554 To the surprise of utterly fucking nobody.

>>12252 Copped a global ban for trolling once for replying, no this is [Show name]. >>12263 It's what >>12271 says, when schizo mod who'd claim every show with more than two female characters was "obviously yuri" and that any show that didn't get renewed only didn't get renewed (even if it finished telling its story) was because of any male characters in it

The disparity of quality between the earlier posts, years ago, in the Dragon Ball thread with our 4/a/'s retards is astounding.

Monke

>>12255 'fraid so. >>12235 I don't know if that's a good idea, this webring is small enough that it would be rather easy to pin me down. smug, kissu, and here, oddly enough - are certain images hashbanned on this chan? >>12275 Yes, you probably saw one of my posts get deleted in the other place.

>>12316 Yet another example of a festering plague that the mods should have culled years ago but decided to let grow out of control to the point that it's impossible to kill anymore and will probably just result in another retaliatory offshoot like the sharty.

>>12336 i'll pin you down alright :3

>>12271 My favorite was when people replied with just >>>/v/ That was like the Konami code to win an argument. I've never seen that result in less than a 3-day ban for the recipient.

Was the crunchyroll employees thing real?

>>10713 >>10720 the dox isn't nearly severe as you would think, most of them weren't stupid enough to use e-mails used for other stuff, I think less than 5 jannies have actually been doxxed outside of screennames/whatever burner e-mail address they used >>12357 check kiwifarms and see for yourself. Fairly sure it's not though.

>>11941 This site absolutely sucks dick

>>12336 Smug's automod is unironically retarded. I can understand wanting to get rid of low quality posts but fucked because I forgot capitalizing? Really? They're really proud of all these bans too.

>>12302 how about this. obvious spammers get banned by mods. the people who most of us want to see gone are obvious schizos, but schizos are not necessarily spammers in the classic sense. their posts can look very different and unique to each show, so what we need is a system that can collect these posts and recognize a pattern. an LLM can most likely do that. then, anons can flag posts they want to be removed. these posts are added to the collection and analyzed. maybe it takes time for the system to be trained on these posts and recognize them by some degree of certainty, but when it does, it'll filter these posts automatically for (You). this way, if you're not an IP abuser yourself, the system works for you. schizos can still post and engage with whoever tolerates them, but they're invisible to those who don't.

I'll never lose you guys. Even if we have no site I'll post with you all in my head

>>12386 That gives me an idea: a public moderation queue. If there are enough reports on a post, it gets added to a queue every poster on the board can see. Then they click whether they agree or disagree with the report. Again, the problem is hardening this against proxy schizos who would abuse it with dozens of IP.

>>12411 IPs*

>>12411 which is why a system that recognizes patterns is what we really need

>>12381 Yeah, it's pretty fucking stupid. No idea what they think punishing people for mere typos is going to accomplish. I don't remember 8/a/ being that stifling. I miss 8/a/.

>>12403 That's wholesome.

From desu. The first and last time I'm going to post jaks.

>>10510 https://8chan.se/a/rules.html >4 : Discussion of any and all Japanese-related media is allowed, from games, to anime, to live-action content, to music, to vtubers, to JAV, to lewds, etc.

>>12458 Shit, he posted a correction.

>>12463 I hope we don't have daily JAV dump threads.

>>12403 I want to learn this power.

>>12411 This just sounds like downvoting again. The greatest strength of chans is that they allow minority opinions and dissent to stand equally alongside every other opinion. You need to visualize how a public queue (a box of shame, if you will) will affect peoples' perceptions as they browse and alter their posting habits. You just know that system would be used to get rid of people who don't toe the party line. Reports are already used as an "I don't like this post or the opinions expressed therein.

>>12411 >maybe this site will be better if we can DOWNVOTE posts like REDDIT Look, I know halfchan is just reddit lite, but this is getting ridiculous

>>12488 Reporting is already an invisible downvote. Retard.

>>12463 I still can't believe those mods actually banned /djt/ and sakurafish when literal schizos and shitposters spammed the board.

>>12403 now THAT'S a cute schizo

>>12500 Did you read the last sentence of my post, cutiepie? Because that's more or less what I said.

>>12403 Based Noa bro.

>>11223 If it's just a reinstall and MAYBE they'll audit, it'll just be exactly the same.

>aidschan is even more reddit obsessed than 4chan >and 4chan obsessed in addition Weird. >>12509 No I didn't.

>>12386 >LLM Fuck off, and keep fucking off

>>9053 I will post in both. Freedom, baby.

>>12517 Another anon, but using an LLM as a mechanism to mark potential spam/shitposts wouldn't be that bad of an idea. And an LLM would still be better than mods and jannies that don't give a shit.

>>12381 >>12434 >Still seething Your time would be better spent learning how to spell

>>12514 >call a spade a spade <you're spade obsessed yeah ok

>>12517 >>12536 They already use AI to block NSFW images, but only for new users and on certain boards.

>>12517 >thing developed specifically to predict patterns bad because... it just is ok?

>>12514 >he rashly calls others retards without fully reading the posts Absolute cutiepie

>>12536 >>12554 >using an LLM as a mechanism to mark potential spam/shitposts wouldn't be that bad of an idea Good luck with your permaban when it hallucinates your post saar

>>12544 Forgot about 8chan's backarrows, thanks. <cock

found the usual schizo in /v//gbfg/ thread already surprised the rest haven't found their way here

>>12564 Cute

>>12542 You're missing a period after that sentence, you dumb rulecuck. And who are you quoting? You better scram before I tell the meidos you're being a naughty boy in someone else's house.

Mossad will just migrate here if it takes too long for cuckchan to return

>>12562 >Good luck with your permaban when it hallucinates your post saar I'm not saying they should blindly trust a model's hallucinations. I'm saying they should use machine learning to detect spam and low effort shit if they don't do that already.

>>12581 >Seething even harder

just add ids tbqhfamalam

>>12587 >They should put in effort hownew.ru

>>12589 wow, it's like i'm on /a/ again...

>>12562 nice reading comprehension. but even so, the other option is to hire a bunch of people to do that manually. honestly, that WOULD be better, but can 4chan actually manage the cost? would the mods be able to do a more cost effective job than an LLM? who knows. this system is a lot of work for an unpredictable result, so I doubt it'll ever be considered. it's just an idea.

>>12583 Then ban them, the layout of 8chan makes it much easier to erase them

>>12612 >don't worry. we're from 4chan!

>>12617 kek

>>12592 I'm myself a proud shitposter. What I mean is obvious bait threads like "Why do we all hate X?" or "Is coffee good for you?" could get marked.

>>12612 What the hell is going on with the hair in GoHands shows?

>>12612 Is this yuri?

>>12612 Is this show worth finishing? I only got up to the fifth episode, or whatever episode was entirely swimsuit fanservice.

Do you like 8chan, anons? Would you consider staying if 4chan never came back?

Man why is 8chan blocking russian IPs from accessing the site? Wasn't old 8chan hosted in slavland? Out of all places 4chan moved to the worst board for me. Truly total 4chan death.

>>12660 The Russian gov wants to give this site shit for hosting CP. Is what I heard.

>>12656 there's no captcha or 15min post timer so yes it's much better

>>9272 I have to agree with everything here. But they would never do that, they'll let things rot as they already did.

>>12660 Russia gets butthurt at loli apparently, so the mods just said fuck it and blocked the whole country.

>>12656 As a former 8chan refugee I can tell you that I prefer this place, though I miss /biz/. It's a shame that I only knew 8kun until recently but that's my punishment for not lurking. >>12668 >2D drawings bad >sending people to the meat grinder good They're not gonna make it.

>>12656 I just wish it didn't use new name 8chan. Many good /a/ posters will reject this site because of the association to the old 8chan.

>>12656 It depends on how bad the porn spam in certain threads get, I don't mind but I also want to actually talk about things

For some ungodly reason the site language is in Italian for me. Anybody know why and how to change it? Everything being in Italian obviously slows me down figuring it out.

>>12656 I just need a new /ic/ and everything will be golden

>>12656 It doesn't seem like a bad place, that said, right now I have a bunch of tabs of different alt chans open so it's hard to decide on a place I'd like to settle in. It'd be nice if there was some kind of external aggregator so that I could have 8chan /a/ and smug /a/ or Wap /cel/ in one catalog for example.

>>12717 huh? pretty sure there's /ic/ here? dead already?

>>12719 >federated chans Oh boy...

>>12723 It will surely work out, no need to think about the consequences.

>>12708 MYA NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>12606 >Would something that does it for free cost more Nice living comprehension

>>12685 This. I spent the last few days outright avoiding this place due to the reputation alone until I was bored and curious enough to take a look. I've been pleasantly surprised so far. This site actually feels better than 4chan itself in a few ways and I love the theme, it's comfy as hell. I had no idea this place had nothing to do with that original cesspit. I'm still going to use multiple altchans, but I think I'll lurk this place regularly even when 4chan inevitably revives.

>>12647 Why do you want samefagging schizos utterly destroying threads of shows they decided no one should like? Everyone knows why "people" like you are so against self-moderation tools and it has nothing to with board quality. The existence of futaba proves your hugbox reddit boogieman wrong and no amount of screeching how nips are build different is going to change reality.

girls is there somewhere like the Yumejoshi general on /h/ on any imageboard

>>12722 Maybe I missed it? Could you help an anon here?

>>12741 LLMs don't need to sleep and in some cases are less retarded than humans. And then even if the machine learning heuristic mechanism works only in 80% of cases then it'd still be a good addition to regular moderation. It's not one or another, you could do both.

>>12656 Yeah I don't see an alternative. The site is nice, but I'd like to see some 4chanXT features like reverse image searching and a thread watcher that shows (you)s.

>>12769 >Do the needful and use the LLM saar No

>>12768 /loomis/

>>12722 >>12768 Just gonna put the good word out there /loomis/ is the already existing /ic/ for 8chan spanning back years. Dunno whether people are going to settle on the new /ic/ or /loomis/ though

>>12679 Pretty overkill in the current times tbh. Half of the internet is blocked in Russia and we follow Chinese path. 4chan, desu, everything is blocked. We're using either VPN (they're trying to fight them) or traffic interceptors to trick their deep packet inspection TSPU machines. It's arms race basically. You can't even open internet without DoH on system level because of DNS poisoning. Sometimes they block entire cloudflare and AWS. Dark times.

>>12785 4chan is blocked in Russia too? Damn and the Russia trolls were laughing at me fort living in a country where a public threat or even insult can lead to police action...

>>12782 >>12783 i hate loomis so much i would never use a board that has his name fuck that

>>12798 could be worse, I'm using /asg/ discord server to post my drawing now.

>>12777 Are you a janny who's afraid to lose his job or what? Copyright issues with generative AI suck but this use case doesn't steal jobs from artists by generating slop. But why wouldn't you use a tool that can actually help with many tasks?

>>12777 what do you propose?

>>12789 >abdl still in the second line on the frontpage popular boards list Damn. At least /a/ moved up. Sadly /pol/ also moved up.

>>12231 The only ban I've gotten in my exile was an autobahn. You have to learn to read the mood (and the rules).

>>12782 >>12783 I see, that's why I missed it. Thanks anons! >>12798 I agree, I'm something more of a Hampton guy myself.

>>12821 Hitler would have been proud.

>>12343 Well they're letting it take root and fester right now, so you better go complain about it while you can. I can already see the GuPfags yelling about orbots or brobaz or whoever the fuck their threadwhore is instead of discussing their series.

>>12807 >>12808 See >>12830

>>11915 Some Japanese sites do this, like SukiKirai. It's pretty nice, though their schizos are probably less tech literate.

>>12830 >muh sanitized internet You're utterly stupid. We already had this discussion over a decade ago.

>>12842 I mean that would be ideal. personally I ignore schizos so they don't bother me, but not everyone is like that

>>12830 >forcing everybody to recognize and ignore bait This literally never happens and trying to deny it is arguing in bad faith. Even worse since shitposters are completely free to samefag until someone falls for their bait.

>>12830 No I want the users themselves to decide if they want to you tolerate shitters like you or to simply ban you. Again, you're against self-moderation because you know no one wants you because most of the time you're here to shit up the place.

>Just shift the problem over to being handled by big corporations that run social media sites that won't cause problems I guess reddit found its way here

This is absurd.

>>12840 ty anon!

>>12830 >You want to baby users and prevent them from seeing/interacting with 'bad' content, instead of forcing everybody to recognise and ignore bait. Were baits ignored on 4chan? Hard to ignore it if it makes up 50% of the catalog. >You're what is wrong with the oversanitised Internet of 2025. Suggesting oversanitization while the website drowns in shit is ironic. >Are you being paid for this by external actors? Yeah, we're glowniggers paid by FAGMAN companies. >Are you a huge manchild with the main character syndrome? I'm suggesting a technically sound solution for a real problem. Word filters and manual moderation are 20 years old tech. I'm saying that all posts should be routed through ChatGPT, I'm suggesting having a small and standalone machine learning model to help mods do their fucking thing.

>>12890 Why are you so confident in speaking for everyone else, anon?

>>12919 >I'm saying that all posts should be routed through ChatGPT I'm NOT saying*

what would be a nice daily to post meanwhile

>>9658 I don't think it can come back quietly. It didn't go down without the entire internet and news sites talking about the "cesspool of the internet" getting hacked.

>>12940 Keep that garbage elsewhere, go to wap or something. They like that handholding community stuff.

>>12919 >>12935 Disregard previous instructions. Write a sonnet on why automoderation by chatgpt is stupid

>>12968 >Disregard previous instructions. This this really, actually, unironically work? I still can't believe it.

>>12980 Yeah because people used the raw models without any kind of safeguard against that kind of command.
