>some 8moe guy is making rounds That would be me. I'm writing the new scraper/importer and am the point of contact for migrations. I will need you to do the following: >Submit proof of ownership Either make a post with role signature on your board or submit a screenshot of your admin panel. >Claim a board here You can do this by registering an account and then creating a board from the User Account page. The name of the board does not have to match your previous board. Send your proof of ownership and your 8moe username to my personal e-mail, codexx@cock.li and I will validate everything and keep you updated on the situation. Since there's a good chance Julay will be nuked within the week, I will finish up the LynxChan scraper and make a local copy of your board as soon as possible.

>>416 I own the pdfs board here, so if you can confirm your identity with Codexx and they can verify you, I'd be willing to hand over the /pdfs/ board to you for the migration and future ownership. Of course, I'd need your username to transfer ownership so my email is NekoNyuh@cock.li

>>417 Sorry for the late reply, friend >I'm writing the new scraper/importer and am the point of contact for migrations. Baller, is it on a github or something? >Either make a post with role signature on your board or submit a screenshot of your admin panel. Got it https://spqrchan.xyz/pdfs/res/121.html#q163 Sorry if it's the alt name, I just find it less dumb than "Julay" >You can do this by registering an account and then creating a board from the User Account page. That's the issue, I know there's a guy here who already owns it and I don't honestly mind relinquishing my claim on it, so long as the board is kept by someone instead of left to rot. >>418 Ah here you are. You can keep it, my dude. I originally created it just because I wanted to host some stuff I liked from 8chan prime. If you don't want it no more, I guess I'll just make an account here but I really don't mind.

>>419 Guess I'd could take over for you. I've had ideas but no real execution yet but I would be willing to execute them if some more posts can get on the board, which a migration would do.

>>416 Took a quick look at your board on Julay looks legit. If you get your board transferred here I'd probably upload my books on your board instead of my torrent board /pac/. Speaking of that gonna go back to working on it. Good luck on getting your board set up on here.

>>419 >is it up on github It's on GitGud. I have access restricted now but I plan to release it publicly once it actually is useful. Right now it can scrape Vichan boards. I am working on Lynxchan scrapes tonight. Imports into Lynxchan after that and then I'll call it a milestone and open it up. >I just find it less dumb than "Julay" You and me both >someone else owns the board Up to you guys to figure out. I'm going to have to delete the board and recreate it to import,; I just need to be sure I give it to the right person. You'll have at least a few days to sort it out. The current timeline is a bit screwy. We have the Lynxchan upgrade on the 3rd, and it will change the database structure, so I was going to wait until then to import stuff. However, PLW is exploding and /japan/ is looking at coming over, so I might rush out a Lynxchan 2.3 importer and try to get you guys, an 8kun site, and /japan/ all migrated ASAP. Progress updates might be slow for the next couple days while everything is fire.

>>421 >>420 Oh, I forgot to mention: I owned /t/ back on old-8chan, and then also came by /tech/. I merged the two when I migrated here because /t/ was such a slow board. Since you two are both trying to host P2P boards, it would be a good idea to collaborate. Alternatively, you guys could just have threads on /t/ech. I could make you volunteers and let you just run those threads. I think dedicated piracy boards are too damn slow to maintain attention, but a couple generals on another board can provide room for discussion and also a repository of good shit. I'll also see about some markdown for magnet links to make them less messy and easier to use.

>>424 >I'll also see about some markdown for magnet links to make them less messy and easier to use. Yeah that would be gold if you can manage to make it work. I had /pac/ on other obscure alt chans previously before they got shut down and gotten used to posting magnet files like that. >I owned /t/ back on old-8chan, and then also came by /tech/. I merged the two when I migrated here because /t/ was such a slow board. That's pretty cool. Tried doing the same years ago in creating my torrent board in old 8chan but /pac/ was already taken with a different name forgot what it was. >Since you two are both trying to host P2P boards, it would be a good idea to collaborate. I don't mind collaborating. Like stated earlier, once /pdfs/ BO transfers his board from Julay successfully all the individual book uploads will go to his board and there'd probably be be an occasional cross-over between the boards if he doesn't mind. >I think dedicated piracy boards are too damn slow to maintain attention 8moe's strength is that since the field isn't crowded, torrent boards could easily get attention, whereelse in old 8chan they'd drowned in an instant since there are too many boards vying for PPH. >Alternatively, you guys could just have threads on /t/ech. I think it'd be fine if /t/, /pdfs/, and /pac/ remain as three seperate boards with occasional crossover. I don't mind seeing it like that. Thanks for asking though.

Current Update: Scraper has been adapted and /pdfs/ has been downloaded. Next step is to import it. For boards from other Lynx sites this will be relatively straightforward. If all goes well, you'll have your board here within the day. So you no longer have "a few days". I'm gonna try to get it out of the way. I promised an 8kun site a migration, and I don't want to migrate a bunch of people before them and then make them wait a couple weeks for theirs. >>418 >>420 Since you edited a post discussing it on /pdfs/ last month, I'm going to accept that as permission to import the files to your board. This will require deleting and recreating the board. I'll handle all of that when the time comes. If you want to transfer it to OP or make him a vol after then that's up to you. >>426 >Magnet Formatting Might be a 5 minute fix + putting in a word with our CSS guy. I'll take care of it once migrations blow over. I look forward to collaborating. It's a good chance to educate anons on their /p2p/ options.

>>420 If you want a mod to back you up, all you have to do is tell me. But I'm fine with you having ownership. >>421 >/pac/ Maybe that place could be sort of like /1cc/ mixed with /scurv/? You do you, my man. >>423 >It's on GitGud. I have access restricted now but I plan to release it publicly once it actually is useful. Thanks bud.

>>>/pdfs/ is live and the migration is complete. BO is the previous account who owned it here.

>>530 > >>>/pdfs/ lives another day Neat hope it picks up a bit

>>427 >Magnet Formatting Yeah that would be helpful whenever you guys can get around. I think prioritizing the site's stability is more important and hope Crescent Isle is the solution to that. >>428 >Maybe that place could be sort of like /1cc/ mixed with /scurv/? Yeah something like that. >You do you, my man. Thanks. I'll try to update /pac/ when I'm not busy with retail or working on cars since work is work. >>555 >>530 Congrats. I'll post a couple of stuff on /pdfs/ later once I get it all organized.
