>>8869 The nigger running /news/ has been shilling his board across the webring. On Smug/a/, rather than treating it like usual board-shilling and just B&Ding the post, they only edited out the board link and left the rest. The /news/ BO vowed raids and spam against Smug/a/ for allegedly violating copyright on his posts, if they didn't either restore the link or delete the post. So they deleted the post, and now shilling /news/ is treated the same as any other case of shilling for off-site boards: B&D. Note that he has a years-long history of shitting up Smug, such as last year when he was spamming Bible verses out of butthurt at anons not being interested in his nofap (or noporn, whichever it was) proselytization, and in general he is a massive attention-whore. He's the kind of identityfag who doesn't need a name or avatar, and you can tell it's him just from his self-righteous saviour complex. He views himself as the hero saving the board/site/webring/imageboards/etc, and he tries to excuse any damage he does by claiming that playing a villain helps by giving the board something to hate. Note that this is not some armchair psychoanalysis bullshit. That was his own explanation. I don't know which scenario is more likely: That he's outright making shit up with this claim of doxing, or if in his unrelenting attention-whoring he couldn't resist breaking opsec and letting out information less discriminately than he should. I wish he would fulfill his repeated promises to leave Smug forever.

>>8899 >Autism wars shit UH OH RETARD DRAMA! Errybody get the popcorn! /news/ BO is not innocent! What a plot twist. What other spiders and skeletons lie in his closet I wonder?

>>8902 So he's a faggot trying to drag this site into his slap fight with smug?

>>8899 I see the difference here as being in the first case it is one guy telling another guy online that he is someone who knows him IRL, something like "Janny, this is Ryan, I know you're Kyle. Stop editing out the links to my gallery on the panda when I post doujins in /l/ just because you don't like they added tomgirl as a tag." and the other is a person making a threat, "Kyle says he will call my boss and tell them I traffic CSAM if I don't stop uploading stuff to panda." That being said, there is a lot of bad behavior on display in https://archive.is/YZ2H5 and while I don't see any issue with linking to other boards hosting the same discussion, especially on the webring which is founded upon that idea, if what was effectively being posted was spam which also directly violated the rules of the board being posted on that is a different story. Can someone provide links to the other shill posts? >>8904 The admin can't do anything to his aid in this regard so what would be the point? If he is some perpetually obstreperous hugbox enthusiast that would explain the reasoning, or rather vacate the expectation of such. Regardless, we're down a board that was good which puts us one more step away from not having /abdl/ and /tkr/ be on the top boards.

>>8905 >obstreperous

>>8873 Wow maybe you should've like not associated with them. Dumbass.

>>8906 >obstreperous Apparently, an obnoxious cunt.

>>8873 Looking into this some, you sorta deserved it. You entered other people's communities and acted like a git.

>>8873 Bullshit, you retarded faggot. >act like an absolute nigger on both /k/ and Smug to the point of openly advertising raids until your hissy fat passes(all the while forgetting the teensy detail that ackchually the only reason you did that was because you supposedly got raided first only to bring that up after the fact) >still manages to turn it into a victim narrative >Acid gobbles it up like the career retard he is Wew. There is absolutely zero reason to believe any of this played out as you've described it. Eat shit, faggot.

Also if this is the same faggot(inb4. stalking, I'm correlating based on his post style and overall faggotry), he's made a show of fucking off from IBs for good after pulling reprehensible shit making himself look like the victim all the while before https://smuglo.li/support/res/10774.html

>>8903 Hey guys, what's going on?

>>8853 it'd be better to represent 4chan's anon with it's actual color, and i think the hispa guy's did their as a sort of cyan or something, you'll have to check around those parts

>>8911 >inb4. stalking <new goal for 8chan.moe anon

So what's the conclusion? the /news/ owner is a fag and Acid is an idiot for assuming he's in good faith?

>>8917 Regardless, I can remake the board no problem. However you will have to provide your own threads, because no way I am doing the same sort of daily updates as the other guy.

>>8920 How often can you update it? a lot of people showed interest for a /news/ board, maybe we all could help a little posting news from time to time.

>>8912 >>8917 I still don't know what that argument was 2 days ago...

I wish we could see the top 10 most trending threads like zzzchan so I could hop in and find something to talk about here as well, it's comfy. Personally, I have /v/ fatigue since the moderation has been fucky lately and I'm unsure if there are other outlets as active for discussion like the gamergate threads. I'd like to be active in more boards without manually sorting every board every day by "bump" since it gets annoying. God bless you.

>>8924 I agree with your idea (althought I would say an "energy" system like 8prime used to have would be more suitable since a "trending threads" widget would get clogged with gg/lol/lounge threads) nevertheless the IB isn't really that big, so you can discover a lot of shit just by lurking one afternoon; it really isn't like 8prime with a lot of hidden fringe comunities of anons or worth reading oldass threads on abadoned boards. If you don't know spanish, just use a translator.

>>8925 >If you don't know spanish, just use a translator.

We are coming up on 11 months without being able to file post over Tor.

>>8929 Yeah. With the economy in the shitter and our money tight for improvements to the site its still nowhere in sight if we follow our previous plan. I'm starting to consider a few alternative options.

>>8930 Keep the emergency plans in mind! What about Google Chrome?

>>8928 Well, I have catched several english speaking users posting on hispanic boards using google translate before. I'm fluent enough in English and so is most of my board userbase, I'd suggest you to just post in English no issue at least on the boards I currently jannying; you'd be able to talk and get (you)s without any problem. I'd say learn Spanish too, but I know Spanish is not as useful for English speakers as English is for Spanish speakers. Also verb conjugation is dogshit, if it wasn't my mother tonge, I wouldn't be able to conjugate properly. >>8930 Well, the site is solid, so there isn't really any hurry to update it. >I'm starting to consider a few alternative options. What alternatives are you considering?

>>8934 So the issue with Tor files is obviously abuse by CP spam. The main plan is to have a custom Tor frontend that would throttle file uploads, new circuit connections, and then facilitate a special page where globals could click and see all Tor uploads in real time separate from the regular "latest postings" option. Since this is a pretty extensive system we wanted to incorporate it in the general Tor service upgrade that we've been planning for like a year and a half. But it means adding another server with good specs to handle and we can't afford that right now. As a stopgap alternate we might be able to implement the "Tor Latest" list in Lynxchan's backend with an addon module. And I kind of like the idea of a system where Lynxchan tracks how many Global mods are online and automatically enables or disables Tor file uploads depending on how many mods are available to keep an eye on it. I guess there's a kind of asshole approach too, where I could allow Tor file posting only via Redchannit but then configure Redchannit to block inbound Tor and VPNs. Outsiders still wouldn't be able to track you because the Redchannit portal encrypts your actual traffic to the 8moe server and sends it over Tor for you, but we would be able to see who was posting what since we control the portal. I don't favor this idea. Redchannit has never ran any kind of user or traffic logging besides DDoS throttles, and I rather like it that way. Anonymity doesn't stop being good just because some niggers abuse it, so I don't think I'd do this just to get a stopgap to file posting back.

>>8950 I've been posting here since the site opened, way before the hispa migration, I'm not a refugee. In regards of the second part, I suggest you to globally report rule breaking stuff from the hispanic boards. I noticed this is mostly bounded to /mex/ and /hisparefugio/; /arepa/ doesn't have this issue despite being as big as the mexican board so I'd say this is caused by a couple of bad faith mexican users. Unfortunatelly there's a lot of white noise on the previously mentioned boards caused by trouble makers and people who didn't learn how to use imageboards properly so they think pedoshit is fine (thanks Juanjo, ex-hispa admin for that) which makes it even harder to moderate, so I'd suggest you to make a thread here, listing all the stuff you think is "double standards". The first couple of months the hispanic boards were just fine, so the pedoniggers clearly came way after the initial migration.

>>8952 You were talking to Pedokike. He's a troll who has been pulling this shit for ages, to the point that he has a sitewide ban.

I think the default limit of posts per thread should be lower. my potato pc is beginning to struggle to load threads with 1000 replies like this one.

>>8954 Click on [lasts], you dingus.

can someone please tell me the amount of threads that can be held in the catalog of a board? I would like to preserve all my threads until the site lasts. Also, is there an option to restore threads in case of a raid, if the threads are saved on archive.today or archive.org?

>>8959 The number of threads on a catalog is determined by the Maximum Threads setting of a board. The catalog will show every thread a board has. Board Owners may drop the thread limit to be lower than the global limit, so it's possible each board is different. Popular boards are likely at the maximum number of threads, so you can observe how many they have. >In case of raid The only restoration option that exists is when a moderator deletes a post. It will be held in a recycle bin for a couple days. If a thread is deleted "naturally", which is to say, the webstie itself deletes it, then it will not hold it before deletion. Threads that fall off the catalog included. Board Owners can prevent raids from sliding their board by utilizing provided tools. Captcha can be automatically enabled after so many new threads are made, and new thread creation can be blocked for an hour when another threshold is hit. On slower boards with small moderation teams, this should be able to prevent the entire board being pushed off the catalog until the BO or a volunteer come online and clean things up. It may result in the oldest threads getting removed, but with the default maximum thread count it's likely these threads were not long for the world anyways. If you'd like peace of mind that the board can be restored, you can use Channel Changer (>>>/t/1257) to back up an entire board (or a handful of select threads). If you provide me that backup, I can restore posts.

https://trashchan.xyz/meta/thread/374.html Interesting.

>>8959 Hey, how come I haven't heard of archive.org until at least late 2010?

Why doesn't merging threads cause the thread to bump... who needs to be punished for this...

>>8957 Please add the [Last] option in the catalog as well. It's very inconvenient having to manually search for a thread in the catalog just to find it's page number and then loading it's most recent posts.

>>8964 Merging should adjust the thread's position in the catalog based on when the last reply was made, regardless of which thread that reply was in. Merging two stale threads will not bump them to the top of a catalog, but merging a recently bumped thread into an old thread should place the old thread where the new thread was. If this is not the case, let me know and I will fix it. >>8965 This should also be doable. Note that I can't promise either of these for the next update, but I will open issues to track them. They're both easy enough to tackle that they can probably make the following update.

/sm/ got the anchor symbol next to it! Could it mean it's abandoned? Where did everybody move?

>>8967 Yes, I have those 2 pet peeves: when forums/boards/websites/whatever are abandoned, and when I don't get noticed. What can I do to prevent that from happening? I'm trying to look for where shotakot went...

>>8968 Yes, NOTICED.

Acid, please make >>>/icup/ a SFW board. t. Zoom

>>8970 For god's sake, answer >>8967 1st! Why all the ignorance lately?!

>>8967 >anchor symbol You mean this stopwatch symbol? Yeah, that means the board owner hasn't logged in weeks, allowing the board to be claimed by somebody else (like you).

I'm having trouble verifying my account, I was supposed to receive a confirmation email but I didn't. Can you help me please?

>>8966 Merging does not alter the thread order

>>8929 And I don't think you have counted the months before the image block when it was a full block. >>8930 Nigger you have to realize there have to be other solutions that don't involve $300/month in expenses or whatever the hell the estimate was. Specially since it's been so long that it's clear that approach is not feasible, so it warrants exploring other alternatives even if they're experimental and involve trying out a few different ones and some don't end up working or need adjustments. From the userbase side, basically nothing seems to have been done or attempted. At this point torfags have to keep cookies around so you can design restrictions to be as selective as you want and it'd still be an improvement over the current situation since image posting is completely blocked, so it's hard to believe there's nothing that you can do nigger.

>>8983 Um... >>3004

>>8948 >And I kind of like the idea of a system where Lynxchan tracks how many Global mods are online and automatically enables or disables Tor file uploads depending on how many mods are available to keep an eye on it. That actually seems really reasonable and workable. CP spammers tend to do probing attacks to see if mods are all asleep before letting the flood loose, so a system like you described would cut that kind of thing off at the knees.

>>8983 >At this point torfags have to keep cookies around so you can design restrictions to be as selective as you want and it'd still be an improvement over the current situation since image posting is completely blocked, so it's hard to believe there's nothing that you can do nigger This >>8985 >reasonable and workable No, it's not. The quoted suggest above is much better than having random time-limit to post files.

/site/ is invited to the 8moe soulcalibur6 tournament. >>>/icup/5579 ignore the drama in the old thread

Rulings 1, 3, 7, and, 16 in the 8chan Rules Enforcement and Corner Case Rulings Compendium really ought not be there. They are not explanations of site rules, nor involve changes to site rules. They are information about site features, POW, TABS, Hotlink blocking certain boards, wordfilters, etc. These are mostly tools to combat rule-breaking content, but they do not explain the particulars of rule breaking content nor change what breaks the rules. They should be in their own thread, and/or summarized shortly in the About page.

There used to be a /suicide/ board on 8ch; does anyone know what happened to it?

>>9016 Got killed and so its wayback machine screenshots. Seriously though anon, please don't kill yourself. I was there too, and thought there is no hope, but life did take a turn and changed for the better. I do miss old 8chan doomer...just like Wizchan, the oldfags left and retarded cuckchanners replaced them. I also miss file posting here, but fuck torfags I guess.

>>9000 Except that some of us don't keep cookies around between sessions because tor isn't set up to allow you to do that on a site by site basis.

>>9017 >>9019 Solutions for both are incoming. Thank you for your patience.

>>9019 >don't keep cookies around between sessions I'm as well. >>9029 >incoming But how soon? Reading previous posts here, it's been a year or more so since torfags were banned from fileposting. I'm ok with waiting, but I just hope it won't be another half year or more.

Can you remove per post captcha on /site/? I feel that most people ignore the support board because they can't be arsed.

>>9017 Speaking of Wayback Machine, >>8962

>>9017 >doomer If anyone interested in reviving doomer here, I post there despite being completely dead...just songs.

>>9031 Tor file posting is never coming back. The experiment was a success. The amount of spam and bad actors that are prevented because most of these fags are too lazy to get a VPN is enormous and the amount of genuine users that require Tor file posting is practically insignificant.

>>9046 Why do you lie anon? Especially after being proved otherwise >>9029 >get a VPN Cost money and arguably less secure than Tor, also some VPNs are banned too. >amount of genuine users that require Tor file posting is practically insignificant You can't know anon, some boards died due to tor fileposting ban >>9006

>>9052 >proved otherwise A non-capcode (1) post saying something is proof of anything? It's been almost a year I've been waiting for TOR file posting to return, and proposed solutions via email which were never replied on. Whatever method they try and utilize will very likely be more work than my easy solution which can be done in a minute. Over a year now and the "problem" lingers, despite being easy to solve. And that problem is never going away without the easy solution I proposed on email. Alternatively, leaving TOR file posting off (and cucking the entire userbase who uses TOR) is another easy alternative, sure. But that's exactly what the spammer wants, remember, as stated back in 2021.

>>9053 >my easy solution which can be done in a minute May I ask what is it, anon?

>>9017 >>9016 here. This new 8chan seems pretty barren for sure. And yeah, torfags are being fucked over pretty much everywhere these days it seems. Thanks for your reply. I'm not planning on anything now.

>>9029 >>9031 >>9052 So... in conclusion, are we HONESTLY going to get Tor fileposting back or not? I don't even know what's special about that; I use Google Chrome...

>>9053 If you want to be listened to, you need to use their IRC since Stephen Lynx works on the actual code there. I cannot give you the name of the channel because it was handed to me in confidentiality, however if you strongly feel that your solution is doable, reply to my post with it and as soon as I can get out of my slave like job for a minute I can report it to the higher ups and return you an answer.

>>9057 I've already talked to Stephen when this all began because there is a flaw in LynxChan code that allows someone to bypass the bypass very easily. He was thinking (because Acid told him such) that it was someone using a "beast rig with Pajeet captcha solvers" to spam through validation, but that's not needed at all. I've helped Stephen with a few bugs already that I found, because a lot of the fun for me is finding bugs and exploits (example: I found how to delete things at the Admin-level and bypass the trash and the logs so I could make anything vanish without a sign of it, and I showed Codex and Stephen so it could be fixed). Also showed Stephen the unlimited character bug which still exists, another easy fix. There is also one where I can make the trashbin infinite duration which could be used to bury CP for a long time by someone who was wanting to harm the site, and the images hidden there can still be linked (Acid knows of an older version of this problem because I was the one who warned him about it, and he tried to fix it with a shoddy filter system that is easy to bypass and still link CP to service providers, if someone chose to do so). Overflow injection, ghost images, etc, etc, there have been a lot of fun bugs to find on this website or others. But the Admins here are not willing to work with me it seems, and so I don't really care too much to go out of my way to try and help solve these issues. Which is why I'd prefer an answer on the email. I rarely use this site anymore. I just check for TOR file posting every few days. Acid is clearly tired of being Admin and letting that weariness show by sacrificing the initial values he once had for the website. It's a shame, because all things considered, I did like him and even defended him against others who constantly shit talked him. And until some of those values return, I will keep pressing on his weariness at the expense of everyone else. https://8chan.moe/.global/logs/site/2023-03-06.html We are one year from when it began, how goes year two I wonder?^^

>>9058 >until some of those values return, I will keep pressing on his weariness at the expense of everyone else. looks like someone wants their own name and a special place in global rule 4. I hate to break it to you but you're barking up the wrong tree. just as ron was the scapegoat admin of 8chan while jim made all the decisions so to is acid the scapegoat admin of 8moe while cakekike makes all the decisions. not even the name of this site was up to acid so of course he'd treat it like a redheaded stepchild because it was never his baby. unfortunately for you the only thing that concerns mark is having a faccimile of /v/ to serve as his own personal hugbox. anything that makes achieving that more difficult must be done away with because the site is for him and not you.

>>9058 I'll egg them to check their inbox then. Thank you for your input.

>>9058 >wonder?^^ Sylvia, fuck off. Nobody likes you

╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ Why does my cat have a broken ear? Is this a new change or has the site always discarded initial spaces on posts? I noticed this the other day on a different "image". And no the [aa] tag doesn't always work because some ASCII arts aren't designed for fixed width.

This one for example really looks better with out the escape code: With ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ Without ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ

Any record of unsupported mp4 parameter? I try uploading video with thise parameter but it ended up posting blank.

>>9067 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mp4 is not completely supported for online playback, so try encoding your video on webm instead.

>>9067 Not sure if relevant but I was trying to post mp4 videos awhile ago that kept getting unsupported file type errors here and reading the metadata on those specific files it said they were actually 3gp despite showing mp4 everywhere else i ran them.

>>9063 >>9064 There hasn't been a change, but I will look into this. The most likely cause is that posts has leading/trailing whitespace removed at somepoint when processing, which is why it would only affect the first line. You might be able to work around it by using some other formatting or tag that would be considered the "first character" and survive trimming. >>9067 It's possible the thumbnailer is choking on it, but in that case it should fall back to a generic thumbnail. If you want to upload the video to another site (pomf.lain.la or catbox) and link it here then I can try taking a look to determine why it fails. >>9069 Some files have irregular MIME types, and they need to match our whitelist exactly. If you can provide an example file via a file upload service (see above) then I can try adding it to the list. If something looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it might very well be a duck but the server will say "no, that's a mallard!" and not let you post it.

>>5423 Hello Acid/Codex. I'd like to ask if you could port over https://anon.cafe/lego/ before the 15th, CSS included. No, I am not the board owner or anything of the sort, it's just a pity that such a comfy board goes to waste and no one bothered archiving it yet.

>>9073 Cool. I'd love to have a lego board over here. It seems the board is inactive, so I guess you would be able to transfer it with no issue.

>>9073 >>9074 Seconding thus, please, mods, go your thing

>>9073 >>9074 >>9075 The last month has gotten away from me; I meant to post this with more lead time. I have a backup of every cafe board Current to last month. As the site is going down, all boards will be considered abandoned. I will be migrating as much of the content as I can. If you would like to claim a board, please e-mail me at codexx (at) cock (dot) li and include your username on the site (cap sensitive) and I will process all claims. We have already migrated >>>/icup/ and >>>/christmas/ at the board owner's request, and I have backed up >>>/k/ since it was nuked. I have also made a mirror of >>>/shelter/, and I would encourage anyone to use it to report site downtime and discuss where to regroup. Setting up lego will be no trouble at all. I'll see if I can find the time tomorrow to migrate the posts in.

>>9073 >>9074 >>9075 Lego already moved to trashchan.

>>9077 I'm frankly sick of webniggers drama so I would much prefer to have a board here on 8moe away from them. >>9076 You could advertise the board, give them a global announcement so anons would know where to move if shit hits the fan. You could also put the board url on the front page like cafe.

>>9076 Is everything going to be alright?

>>9079 Don't forget: >>3004 and >>9029

i hate it when cuckchan has shit we do not, can you nigs add a $\text{TEX}$ preview window like cuckchan has? simply open their quick reply window and you will see it on it's upper left corner

/lego/ and other abandoned boards will be migrated in this weekend. I have all posts up through this week on all boards from cafe as well as CSS and banners. Sorry for the delay; it's been a hectic year so far and I really only have weekends to catch up on things right now. >>9078 >Put the board url on the front page That's a good idea. I will implement that in the next site update. I think the most important thing is to get some buy-in from other sites. We are very polarizing (unfortunately) but I hope hosting a /shelter/ will foster trust. >>9081 I'll add this to the suggestion list.

>>9076 >>9082 Anything new about tor file posting? >/lego/ and other abandoned boards All boards? Including /toy/ (which has been dead for years)? /lego/, /p/ and /flash/ are already moved to trashchan.

Since webring boards have to be manually blacklisted, is it possible to just set up an alt-webring using the existing software? t. Tech illiterate thinking of trying to figure out vichan stuff

>>9084 alt-webring? what do you mean?

>>9084 What's the story behind the beef between 8moe and the webring?

>>9087 Acid dug his heels in on a bunch of shit that gave people who already didn't like him an excuse to distance themselves from him. Then he ended up doing a 180 on every single issue he dug his heels in on anyways making it all rather pointless.

Files in this post >>>/h/2613 were reported for niggerdry and unlinked, however a third file was unlinked due to a error in how unlinking functions. If you do not reload the page and attempt unlink multiple files at once, all files after the first unlinked file in the post will move down one place in order even though the page has not visibly updated their positions. When I tried unlinking the 4th file after having already unlinked the third, the 5th file had already taken its place, even though there was no visual update. I request this error be addressed, and a feature second "unlinked but not deleted" trashbin be created for better management of files within posts. In the meantime, for the better preservation of smut, If only one file in a post of multiple files needs removing, I will save and repost all remaining files myself before sending the original post to the trash bin.

I know this sounds off-topic, but where should I go to explore Google's reverse image search HOW IT WAS BEFORE GOOGLE LENS? Like, change the guess of the source or limit the site domain or something...

>>9090 Another off topic question, and this better be answered... WHY DO I KEEP GETTING ADS IN SPANISH EVEN THOUGH I SET MY LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH?! SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, THIS HAPPENS EVERY AD-BASED WEBSITE I GO TO! WHETHER IT'S YAHOO, TWITCH, OR YOUTUBE!!!

>>9090 Google removed these features a while ago when they replaced their reverse search tool with that Lens crap. >>9091 Ads take into account your location, which can be obtained with your public IP. Use a proxy, or just install an ad blocker.

>>9090 Just use Yandex, nigger. >>9091 If you're talking about the global announcement, then you get the english version if you browse boards that have the english language enabled, you see the spanish version on boards that have the spanish language enabled.

>>9056 >>9091 >normogroids using this site

>>9093 Thank you... :) >>9094 Hey; what do you know? He called me a "normogroid!" That's pretty nice...

Does anyone know of a nice simple piece of javasscript that will allow users to switch from light mode to dark mode by clicking a button?

>>9096 There's a variety of dark themes available in the theme dropdown. >>9091 This site doesn't even have ads. >>9089 Noted. >>9056 Yes, it's coming back.

>>9097 >There's a variety of dark themes available in the theme dropdown. That's not what I mean. I'm talking about a for a custom CSS. You can assign two separate color profiles to work with both light and dark mode. Maybe even 3, I'm not sure how it handles default. I just wanted a simple toggle to add to switch them and I don't think you can do that with pure CSS.

>>9098 I think it can be done with pure CSS; I was looking at utilizing it to automatically handle switching between Yotsuba B and Tomorrow as the default CSS. I believe you need to utilize a prefers-color-scheme query. @media (prefers-color-scheme: light) { /* Light CSS */ } @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* Dark CSS */ } That should dynamically switch based on a user's sytem settings without needing JS.

>>9102 Yeah I'm familiar with this. I was just thinking about giving more direct control to a user without having to swap their entire theme or even to automate the change depending on time of day (well according to the time anyway). Also it annoyingly doesn't work with tor and just seems to default to lght mode regardless of theme.

>>9103 There's nothing to be done about Tor. Detecting system theme would be a marker that can be used to deanonymize a user so it makes sense to block it. Other site features are broken by Tor Browser, including sound on Flash embeds. It should be possible to toggle based on a checkbox being ticked, but there are no spare checkboxes on the site (that can be fixed, if desired) and on non Firefox browsers the status would not be cached so it would undo itself without some JS to save the value. So it's doable but not without a little jank.

Is "board search is broken in mobile" a known issue? My searching work fine in dekstop but return nothing/barely return anything on mobile. For example searching "i" in dekstop return lot of boards including /fsjdfziunbfliznbcfkznmizomiskmfk/ - test*Abandoned* but it return nothing on mobile >>9093 Yandex image has been down for monts >The service is under construction. thought so dipshit

>>9106 It's not in my list yet, but the entire board lost is due for an overhaul anyways so I'll make a note of it.

test post. We back?

Oekaki test.

I think I found a bug with Oekaki. >put it in full screen mode >press finish or close >can't scroll the page anymore

>>9112 A work around is to open the oekaki again and switch away from fullscreen mode.

>tor is not allowed to use Oekaki Sasuga 8moe.

>>9120 Seriously can't you make the site recognize Oekaki "upload" comes from a drawing applet from 8moe itself and therefor can't possibly have any illegal material?

>>9124 They're all pixels over the tubes at the end of the day.

Is there a way to PM mods or board owners?

>>9130 Some BOs have public emails (8moe's official email is 8moeadmin@protonmail.com, for example), and some users use the report tool to "talk" to mods about issues.

Custom CSS themes don't seem to be applying properly.

BIG 'OL SITE META UPDATE POST 4-1-24 (NOT APRIL FOOLS) Hello everyone! It's been a minute. Let's get the preliminaries out of the way first: Since the last meta update there have been: Subpoenas: 0 Law enforcement requests: 0 DMCA takedowns: 8 IP addresses reported to their providers for posting CSAM: 9 The warrant canary is still valid. Recap The last time I posted one of these, the Internet was facing a wind change in politics as Kiwifarms was on its back foot in the battle against Tier-1 ISPs. To their credit, kiwis have persevered. The massive cancel machine hit them more times than a Klansman in a Harlem boxing club, but the tide of censorship seems to have lost some of its steam. While we're still going to approach further site development with caution and some certainty that we have fast fallbacks in case of the apocalypse, we are not currently shitting bricks like we were a year ago. The status quo is shifting a bit more to how it was in 2021, before all that crazy shit happened. Disclosure And speaking of crazy shit, one of our admins was hospitalized several times over the past year due to serious medical complications. As it turns out, Factor V blood-clotting disorder is great for getting you exemptions to Covid mandate bullshit, but it can also just rear its ugly head and try to kill you outright all by itself. A lot of time and money were spent on this that didn't get donated to the site this year, so our development was a little bit stunted. I'm happy to report that after 8 months of treatment this admin has made a full recovery, and things should start rolling along at a faster pace again. And absolutely insane props to Codexx, who filled in and helped during this critical period, fulfilling the "multiple admins" concept of the site perfectly. When you see him shitposting call him a hero, he hates that. New news The site update that went live over this weekend did something we needed to do and something else we really needed to do. While site development was slow, Codexx wasn't resting on his laurels and was coordinating front-end developers to add some user-facing features like improved mod menus and the oekaki module, the latter of which proved quite hard to integrate with Lynxchan. You see, while the site gets regular back-end updates and security fixes and the like, anons and BOs seem to feel like not much is happening if we don't throw you a cool bone worth of features now and then too. And they're right! Other/Minor Let's see... what else... We've added some more global mods, so Tor file posting has been re-enabled to test the waters. With some of our long-term upgrade plans now finished (this update includes everything from 2 full version jumps of Lynxchan plus some extras, plus a server OS upgrade and lots of small bug fixes) we can now look again at some of our more pie-in-the-sky ideas that got pushed to the back-back burner long ago. The next update is still a ways off but might have some cool shit in it when it gets here. Websockets are still broken. Fixing them requires a physical upgrade to the frontend hardware, or else the company who makes the caching engine adding a workaround that we can use. We'd just buy a better server and make it happen if the economy would stop sucking dicks for five minutes... There was some debate a while back concerning a decline in sitewide post metrics last year, but this was directly attributable to the TABS system halting the significant amount of daily spam that had long been inflating the numbers. Our actual user and activity counts that we show right now are accurate and there is no downward trend. Everyone seems comfy and the admin staff are happy. Anniversary incoming! While we often celebrate the traditional 8chan birthday in October, a friendly reminder that this site will turn four years old on April 19th! It feels like yesterday when we had 10 boards, 35 users, and smug shills in the meta threads with the scent of cum on their breath saying we weren't going to last six months. On the horizon For those who follow drama, a #GamerGate 2 movement has erupted across the Internet, echoing the force that brought many of the OGs to this site in the first place. Rumor has it that Halfchan has banned discussion of this movement on their /v/ and so it moved to /pol/, but if the axe gets dropped on them they're going to need a place to go and we've committed to making them welcome if they choose us. Any anon principled enough to fuck off from 4chan over censorship is someone who deserves a board and a home, and our site and network can handle the influx. They walk the same path that many of us did, so we'll try not to screw it up like those who ran things before us. I think that hits just about all of the important points. I hope everyone had a great weekend, and we'll see you for the next one!

>>9139 Thanks for bringing back like you said you would. Please don't give the spammers what they want if they start in again and disable it for weeks or worse for months. If worst comes to worst try to just disable it during off hours if those times can't be covered. You could probably even set up a timer if you had to keep doing it for an extended period.

>>9139 I think you forgot 1 (minor) detail... SHOTAWORLD IS GONE!!! UNITE EVERY SHOTA FAN TO MAKE A NEW ONE!!!

>>9139 >we'll try not to screw it up like those who ran things before us. too late

>>9139 Finally tor file posting is back! Now the next best move for you all to do in my personal opinion is too remove /zoo/ so we don't scare off new members and make this place actually grow and by then we actually get this place start rolling.

>>9136 I'm aware and working on it. The "Board CSS" option in the dropdown kinda fixes it but is also a little bugged. Patch soon.

>>9139 Thank you for keeping your word and restoring the tor file posting! As >>9144 said, please don't let few bad apples to ruin this for all of us, even temporary ban for few hours is preferable to complete ban. Sorry to hear about that admin illness and also glad to hear he is fully recovered! >>9150 We need some tor file posting celebration thread!

Replying on mobile is broken now When you tap on a user to reply to him specifically, the reply panel still scrolls to that post, but it no longer automatically inserts the >>[post number] data.

>>9176 i think acid's asleep, cakekike might be able to disable image posting since this is a dire emergency, though

>>9177 He did once but a global told him to turn it back on, and the spam started back up immediately.

>>9139 >Rumor has it that Halfchan has banned discussion of this movement on their /v/ and so it moved to /pol/, but if the axe gets dropped on them they're going to need a place to go and we've committed to making them welcome if they choose us.

>>9172 I haven't an issue with that but just the file sharing aspect right at the moment.

>>9173 >>9176 Huh? What's CP?

How do I get the list of banner images of a board again?

The onion site doesn't work. >>9181 Sweet summer child

When I try to post from my phone, I get an error message that says that getting a new bypass is not possible at the moment. Has been happening the last two days. Is that a bug or some feature I am unaware off?

>>9183 I said, "Huh? What's CP stand for?"

So is tor offline for good or is it coming back one day?

>>9181 >>9185 It means Democrat activismography

Your site is inaccessible to most people unless they manually type in "https://" before 8chan.moe in the URL bar or enable the HTTPS-only in browser settings which is off by default in most blink or webkit browsers. It's been like this for over a year at least. If you're using nginx I can give you some pointers on how to auto-direct http (port 80) to https (port 443) in your config.

Also why don't you have a 8chan.moe/robots.txt file? You will get less DMCA reports if you tell search engines (e.g. startpage, yandex, archive.org, search.brave.com) to stop indexing your images, pdfs and other media files. Copyright trolls use bots to scour image search engines for like-images. https://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html User-agent: * Disallow: /*.bmp$ Disallow: /*.gif$ Disallow: /*.jpg$ Disallow: /*.jpeg$ Disallow: /*.mp3$ Disallow: /*.mp4$ Disallow: /*.pdf$ Disallow: /*.png$ Disallow: /*.swf$ Disallow: /*.webm$ Disallow: /*.webp$

Can i get an explanation for this shit? Your ban id: 66148fd113d68e9fb54d0977

>>9191 I presume that has to do with the .se domain. Having reconnected through the .moe domain, I haven't gotten that banishment. Something happen with the domains that aren't TOR or moe, methinks?

>>9192 Ah ha; in the interim i found out i could post in the GG thread, which i have at the .moe url, but not the meta or lounge thread which are .se. Good to know i haven't been perma-blasted just for shitposting with ecchi, i guess.

>>9193 What tuned me into that was being banned just for posting text, usually quipping about the spammer with no pics. Quipping about a nadless man shouldn't be banishment grounds. **I'm surprised that permabanning the SE domain slowed down the 'innocent post' spammer, though.

>>9191 I lifted your ban now. There was a spammer on a rampage that tried to ruin this site, so innocents may or may not get hit. We don't have means to tell that easily apart.

>>9183 >>9186 Reminding that the onion site still doesn't work...

Any timeline as to when I can post on /v/ again?

>>9198 What do you mean? Are you banned there?

>>9199 No not banned. I just get a connection error. I'm assuming all Tor posting has been disabled on /v/, and /co/ too apparently. I recognize that there is a complete fucking bellend of a spammer attacking the site right now but I'm not sure why they would disable Tor text posting too. They may not have intended to.

>>9200 >>9198 >Any timeline as to when I can post on /v/ again? Seconding this, but with /co/...just when I was able to post pics there again, fuck.

>>9197 >>9183 How did that happen?

>>9202 It hasn't worked since over a year ago when all the Tor stuff happened.

>>9198 >>9201 Those blocks were temporary and should have been removed the other day. You're good to go. >>9197 >>9186 When we did the server upgrade, it silently broke a dependency. It will be back online when Acid has the time to fix the dependency issue. >>9189 We aren't running nginx, but I'll let Acid know. I run HTTPS-only so I haven't caught it. The redirect should be simple.

>>9204 >You're good to go. Thank a bunch. Seems to be working fine now.

>Silvia is back spamming on /v/ within 30 minutes of the Tor block being removed >even though anons have been able to post on Tor everywhere else for days What the fuck gay retarded brainrot is causing the pedo to target /v/ of all places and specifically the GG thread?

>Creation of new bypasses is currently disabled. Is this your way of dealing with the pedo spammer? Couldnt you figure out a way that doesnt get normal users caught in the crossfire?

>>9207 >What the fuck gay retarded brainrot is causing the pedo to target /v/ of all places and specifically the GG thread? Slav autism. >>9209 Tabs doesn't get normal users caught, it just disables bypass creation for people who doesn't have a previously expired bypass. Just don't flush your cookies and put 8moe on your web browser white list and you'll be fine.

Hey Acid, how come we can no longer archive threads using archive.fo? All it does now is lead to the splash screen.

>>9211 Use the archive.8chan.moe domain instead.

>>9211 That is by design because niggers were dumping CP and then archiving their CP dumps in order to get the archive sites to delete all archived 8chan pages past and present.

IIRC the guy didn't get to archive the hardcore stuff besides the obvious spam. So it should be safe for now.

>>9204 Just a small dependency? Everyone seems to be complaining...

>>9204 >We aren't running nginx, but I'll let Acid know. I run HTTPS-only so I haven't caught it. The redirect should be simple. Just be warned that you'll most likely need to make an exception (to not redirect) for the "SERVER_ROOT/.well-known/acme-challenge" directory, otherwise certbot's auto-renewal for your Let's Encrypt SSL certificate will fail (error log location: /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log), because it'll need HTTP access to it for its HTTP-01 challenge (read: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/#http-01-challenge ). You can ask ChatGPT how to do it with your web server software. For example in nginx for your port 80 server block you'd write something like this: server { listen 80; server_name 8chan.moe www.8chan.moe; access_log off; location /.well-known/acme-challenge { root /var/www/8chan; default_type text/plain; allow all; try_files $uri =404; } location / { return 301 https://8chan.moe$request_uri; } }

The theme loader issue should be fixed, but might need to propagate through the caches. Mobile sidebar issues and language pack problems are the only reported issues that remaing (with the frontend at least), and I'll work on whittling those down with time. >>9215 Package management is a real bitch sometimes. We think it's a dynamically-linked library version mismatch so we need to hunt that down and ensure nothing else is relying on the current version. >>9216 I spoke with Acid and he indicated that the HTTP -> HTTPS redirect should be working. We have no been able to reproduce the issue.

>>9216 I said it 8 years ago and I'll say it now, WHAT DOES (read: MEAN?! Is that some sort of trope? Or form of sarcasm?

What's up with this 8chan extreme bs? I got around it one time by using Tor, but now I can't view any files or pics on any board no matter what I do, and nobody is talking about it for some reason.

I see you got the custom CSS issue fixed. Good job.

>>9219 God, you are a nigger. Learn how to use the site, you fucking retard.

>>9221 There is literally zero information on this anywhere whatsoever. There's no "just figure it out" because there's no way to do so with NO information.

>>9219 First please make sure you're not on the archive domains. Use the main domain https://8chan.moe Other than that, the image you referenced only appears when the site is probed by scrapers and bots, so please check any privacy plugins you are using and make sure they aren't doing anything weird. "Extreme" is a very old inside joke belonging to the community. There is no "extreme" account.

>>9217 >>9223 >I spoke with Acid and he indicated that the HTTP -> HTTPS redirect should be working. We have no been able to reproduce the issue. It doesn't. Here's your site and here are two examples of sites with 301 redirection to HTTPS working properly, checked on both https://www.whatsmydns.net/redirect-checker and curl. I tested "8chan.moe" and http://8chan.moe on both Safari for iOS and Brave for PC and both inputs on both browsers say your site can't be reached. Ask ChatGPT or whatever on how to troubleshoot this with your web server. The reason why you can't reproduce this is because of your browser's DNS cache or you have HTTPS-only turned on (if you visit https://8chan.moe once, that DNS cache will be saved in your browser and override your http://8chan.moe input due to modern browser preference for HTTPS if it's available in cache, but it's not a true redirect, any newcomer / newly installed browser without that previous cache will not be able to visit your site by simple typing "8chan.moe" since it defaults to HTTP unless the browser has HTTPS-only switched on, hence why a proper 301 redirect to HTTPS at the web server level is necessary). Either way you should be verifying this on curl or an online redirect checker instead of just a browser.

>>9217 I can easily and reliably reproduce this error, and furthermore its been a bug I've noticed for like six months. >>9224 Can confirm. This.

>>9225 What did you miss a comma? Now i look like an idiot. Thanks man. Thanks a lot. Jerk

The .se domain isn't working at the moment.

I was just looking at site statistics and Jesus Christ, did 8kunt really fall off this hard? How are we over three times bigger than them? This are site views for the month of March 2024. This isn't even counting the alternate domain names like .se. According to traffic, we're not that much smaller than Giantbomb and we're significantly larger than Gamefaqs. That seems impossible to me, where are all these people? Why have I never heard about 8moe anywhere else on the internet besides that one zoomer's stupid Tiktok

>>9229 >I was just looking at site statistics and Jesus Christ, did 8kunt really fall off this hard? How are we over three times bigger than them? Most of the activity on 8kun is bots, I'm assuming now that Russia is taking stricter measures against imageboards in general they're dying off pretty damn fast. Also, every single hold out there is either a foreign national using it because there is no established IB in their own country or just trying to test shit for other IBs.

How can I hide all media? Is there an option or button for that?

>>9229 Using site views as a metric for site health and activity is just about the most retarded thing you could possibly do. Which is why Acid keeps doing it instead of talking about monthly active users.

>>9233 How can you compare monthly active users? the usercount is measure differently and even then, it's pretty obvious most of 8kun are bots. >>9229 The site is zombie nowadays. At the time it was online most 8prime boards already had a bunker somewhere else, so the only ones who settled there were the polfags and the egyptians. Jim only cares about qboomer cattle and it shows, the /qanon/ is the only board with substantial activity and even then it's filled with bots to the brim. >>9230 >Russia is taking stricter measures against imageboards in general Is their server located on Russia? >>9232 There's a way to do that with CSS, yes.

>>9234 >How can you compare monthly active users? the usercount is measure differently and even then, it's pretty obvious most of 8kun are bots. Who cares about comparing active users with some irrelevant Qnigger honeypot?

>>9234 >There's a way to do that with CSS, yes. how, pls help

We are constantly being attacked with illegal content EVERY DAY. >>>/hisparefugio/ https://8chan.se/hisparefugio/res/158247.html#158247 >>>/arepa/ https://8chan.se/arepa/res/80900.html#80924

>>9229 Well, if wanna know if we beat "8kunt"... the answer is YES!!!

>>9225 I've noted this and will look into it as part of an up and coming overhaul of the frontends. The HTTPS redirect is identical to the method prescribed in the Varnish development handbook, but the newer versions of Varnish have some other ways to do it too. >>9237 Globals try to keep an extra eye on your boards. You might want to take it up with the BOs to hire an extra vol or two. >>9238 Mostly irrelevant, but neat.

>>9237 >>9239 https://8chan.se/vore1/res/46426.html https://8chan.se/hisparefugio/res/159607.html >2 FUCKIN HOURS

We spent most of last night doing a complete revamp of the 8chan.se network frontend. Current improvements include: >Server OS and caching engine upgraded to newest software >New splash page system implemented with a cookie and incorporated directly into Lynxchan >A much better, faster refactor of the basic VCL code >A much better HTTPS redirect If you see this, consider browsing and using the site from the .se domain for a day or two and see if you run into any bugs or odd behavior. I'm using .se as a guinea pig for improvements that will be ported over to .moe and .cc soon. And if we're lucky with these new features in Varnish, maybe even a return to websockets without needing new hardware. No promises on that one other than that an attempt will be made.

>.static/pages/disclaimer.html >All depictions of fictitious characters are 18+ years of age regardless of any contradicting textual description(s). Why are you bothering with this statement? You're not the legal attorney for every uploader of your plaform, it's not your job to make that defense. Not that you (or anyone else will) ever be sent to court since you're a public platform (like Facebook) and not a wilful distributor, but do you really think a judge will read this silly statement and say "oh ok well move along then"? >Legal, fictional 2D or 3DCG artwork is not prohibited and is not to be conflated with pedophilia or any content banned under this rule. Why would you type this? Remove it. It's much better to have strategic ambiguity than to say what grey area ISN'T prohibited, because otherwise it looks like you're facilitating it. "Your honor, I know this drawing that some random person uploaded LOOKS like pedophilia, but it's not, because it says so in our site rules." It's not your job as a platform to even make that defense, the onus is on the uploader if there's ever any legal trouble, and your job is to make the appearance that you made reasonable effort to keep illegal stuff off your site. Does Hiroshimoot say that content is allowed on /b/? No, he keeps quiet about it and looks the other way. Does Pixiv say that content is allowed on their site? No, they keep quiet about it and look the other way.

Fix relative times, please. Every post says (just now) for some reason.

>>9244 You have to set it in your own settings menu. If you usualy use .moe, .se is still set to defaults for you. Click the wheel icon, then Other and set relative times.

>>9244 Not a bug, that's just me deleting and reposing the entire site every few seconds.

>>9245 I did it and now I see that it works here but not in /hisrol/, these posts are months old and they appear as (just now) still, that's odd. >>9246 Based

>>9243 Who cares. It makes no difference what they put there. They could just put "u suck" in their disclaimer/ToS and it wouldn't change a thing. You don't need a list of rules to know that illegality or spam isn't tolerated.

>>5423 I've got a great idea for the owners of this website. How about you guys buy 8chan.co (the original 8chan URL) for use as a backup domain? That'll show Jim Watkins what site is the superior 8chan!

>>9243 I mean I understand what it means >loli: okay >traced cp: not okay

>>9242 >>New splash page system implemented Why does it also appear on https://archive.8chan.se/ ? And as a curiosity, it occurred to me to try the site in Links, Lynx and w3m (console browsers) and in the first it gets stuck on the splash screen but the others work fine.

>>9253 It probly gets stuck on the splash screen because of the tiny set-cookie there. The new splash can't just reload the page you were trying to access because it has to work with lynxchan nojs, so when you visit a page on the site for the first time each session it sets a little cookie called "inbound" that saves the URL you wanted to visit. Then when you click Agree it reads that cookie and sends you where you wanted to go with a simple redirect. Its a much better system though, written in ~30 lines of VCL code instead of ~350 for the old splash. I haven't set up the archive domain stuff yet, I wanted to have anons testing and reporting on the basic functions first. They'll come soon.

I was right. With generous permission from Codexx, some help from Stephen Lynx, and a week of autism studying the newest Varnish docs, I am thrilled beyond belief to announce THE RETURN OF WEBSOCKETS AND LIVEPOSTING I'm running a beta trial on https://8chan.se and once its debugged we'll port the new config over to .moe as well. If you would like to try liveposting, clear your cache, restart your browser, and load any thread on the .se domain. Scroll to the bottom and look for the green light and/or "Websocket OK" message. Be sure to check: >Clear your cache? >Hard refresh (CTRL+F5)? >Privacy plugins? >Firewall in the way? >Your 8chan Settings menu under 'Other'? >Uncheck and recheck the checkbox? >Any of those and clicking the old 'Refresh' button? >Turning it off and on again? So far confirmed that it works on FF, Chrome, and Android. Possible issues with Waterfox. If it doesn't seem to work, try a few things or a reboot and then report any final bugs here. If you can't get it to work or you're on .moe and don't want to wait for it, you can go to the top of the page and click Settings, Other, and check "Disable Websockets" and then scroll down and press Save. Then reload the page and the old timer will return.

Tenía razón. Con el generoso permiso de Codexx, algo de ayuda de Stephen Lynx y una semana de autismo estudiando la documentación más reciente de Varnish, estoy muy emocionado de anunciar EL REGRESO DE LOS WEBSOCKETS Y EL LIVEPOSTING Tengo una beta de prueba en https://8chan.se y una vez que haya sido depurada llevaremos la nueva configuración a .moe también. Si quieres probar el liveposting, limpia tu cache, reinicia tu navegador y carga cualquier hilo del dominio .se. Baja al final de la página y busca la luz verde o el mensaje "Websocket OK". Asegúrate de: >¿Limpiar la cache? >¿Actualizar en duro (CTRL+F5)? >¿Extensiones de privacidad? >¿El contrafuegos? >¿El menú de configuración de 8chan en 'Other'? >¿Desmarca y vuelve a marcar la caja? >¿Cualquiera de esas cosas y click en el botón 'actualizar'? >¿Apagarlo y volver a prenderlo? Hasta ahora tengo confirmado que funciona en FF, Chrome y Android. Posiblemente hayan problemas en Waterfox, si no funciona, entonces prueba con un reboot y luego reporta cualquier otro bug adicional aquí. Si no puedes hacerlo funcionar o si estás en .moe y no quieres esperar, puedes ir a la parte superior de la página y click Settings, Other y marcar "Disable Websockets" y luego ir a la parte inferior y click "Save. Luego recarga la página y el viejo contador regresará.

>>9263 >>9264 I'm just doing my job™. There's a dedicated Spanish thread in the catalog but nobody has used it in over a year an a half so I don't see reason why bump it. But I could do it next time just to encourage people to use it. I was also considering having a dedicated meta board but I don't think that idea would go anywhere for the same reasons and because we don't have a Spanish speaking at the moment.

>>9266 >you >your Nigger, I'm not Acid. I'm the guy working on translating Moe's frontend to Spanish.

Having difficulty posting image and text some 5 hours ago. Now I can post text but when I attempt to post image I got "Connection failed”. Test with 3 images so it is not image hash ban. I could post text in Chrome desktop and mobile. Trying from Brave desktop now

pls fix the new issue where making a post doesn't cause the page to update correctly until refresh, it's causing doubleposts everywhere

>>9267 > User Acidadmin deleted the following posts: 5423/9266 from board /site/. Lmfao

>>9271 What? How?

>>9270 >when I attempt to post image I got "Connection failed”. I understand what happens with unstable connections (for example, due to having damaged internet cables) or if you use a data plan and they limit your speed to 5KB/s or so. >>9272 Possibly this is due to the change they made to WebSockets recently (>>9255). If so, affected users should be seeing something like this in the browser console: Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource at self ("default-src https://8chan.moe https://8chan.moe https://8chan.se https://8chan.cc https://www.youtube.com https://www.invidio.us https://invidious.snopyta.org https://yewtu.be https://8chan.tv https://liveleak.com https://www.bitchute.com https://redchannit.net data: ws: style-src: 'unsafe-inline' script-src:"). I remember reading that this could be fixed by adding wss: into the server's CSP policies. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to have an automatic failback like when the "Disable Websockets" option is enabled for those who have problems with WebSockets. By the way, it would be good to also check >>9269 before applying the updates that are being tested on 8chan.se.

>>9276 >>9272 We previously connected over ws and it would do an upgrade to wss. I've updated the CSP directive to only allow wss for the time being. Let me know if this improves things. >Local Times issue This is a known issue and I have a plan to fix it, but it got backburnered. It has not been forgotten. The changes on .se are being made in parallel. The local times issues is a bug on my end and the CDN improvements are somebody else's task, so they're not really taking resources from each other.

Pretty drunk rn but whys the site 404'ing on all my browsers, both .se and .moe except for tails browser through tor? been going on for a week now, deleting cache and cookies does nothing. Even tried a new install of brave. Did i miss something?

>>9287 If it's multiple browsers but Tor works then it's possible you got a bad DNS reading. Which DNS provider do you use? Can you try a different one to see if that resolves the issue?

>>9287 The GeoIP block returns a 404. You'll hit it in Germany, China, Israel, and Russia, VPN nodes from those countries, and a couple smaller Eurocuck networks that block us.

>>8295 Ditto to this request. https://files.catbox.moe/grvpcf.avif

>>9291 Needs mature modules for ImageMagick, which did not exist last time I looked into it. I'll see if things have improved in the last couple years. I'd actually like to make AVIF the default for thumbnails (currently we use PNG) once most browsers have support.

>>9292 >I'd actually like to make AVIF the default for thumbnails (currently we use PNG) Why not WebP then? Lots of other imageboards successfully implemented it. Look how this PNG thumbnail is almost 10x larger than the original JPG >>9285 . Would significantly speed up load times.

>>9293 A lot of users do not like webp and won't use webp. Even though it's just thumbnails, the compression on webp is notably poor and tends to ruin the texture of complicated patterns. AVIF can get comparable or better file size and do it without losing any image fidelity. I was actually very interested in JPEG XL but with Chrome dropping support I certainly can't use it as a thumbnail format.

>>9286 is the rebuild in progress right now? .onion domain is dead and i have to use clearnet to connect

>>9295 Not yet. Codexx just finished the basics for a Lynxchan Frontend Controller module so we can use improved caching (if you've noticed the site seems a lot faster this week, this is why). Tuning that up is the current project and the onion comes next after that. Websockets work on the Tor clearnet domains btw, so the onion really isn't even necessary right now.

>>9292 Browser support for avif is in a really good position, so that shouldn't be a big problem. The only normal browser that doesn't have full support is the IOS version of Safari, which can't do animated avif images.

How do disable spoilers and/or spoiled images?

>>9287 Same thing happening on my end. Both LibreWolf and PaleMoon gives me the 404 page. Tor works now, but not always. And, as you say, it is a very recent development.

Online Censorship's Institutional Power https://archive.ph/34V8w >Last month, Sony released a video game called Stellar Blade to the PS5, which had featured a protagonist in very revealing clothing, which the developers had promised would not be modified when released to the West. Sony did end up tailoring her outfits to be less revealing, and this decision prompted outrage. A petition to undo this cosmetic defect accrued 84,000 signatures in two weeks.26 >Stellar Blade’s petition is the largest outcry against censorship in recent memory, and it has so far failed to get Sony’s decision reversed. This failure highlights to me what I believe should be obvious: public outcry and petitions do not get things done. Money does. Whatever monied power convinced Sony to make these changes outweighs the perceived economic threat of gamers promising not to buy their game. >The anti-censors rallied around this cause en masse, no doubt thanks to how easy it is to complain on social media and sign a petition. Meanwhile, there is a vine of thorns wrapping around the esophagus of the Internet. Our ability to even communicate is at risk of being destroyed, and the people who intend to destroy them have networked an obscene amount of wealth and power without being noticed. Indeed, the monied powers actively working to destroy the Internet find themselves intertwined with supposedly anti-censorship entities without trouble. >For instance, the closest thing to institutional power online for anti-censorship is Rumble, which has recently started a cloud service that consists of a single datacenter, a single ISP (Cogent), and a single security service (Path). >Rumble highlights, in particular, the anti-censor’s total and complete inability to learn lessons from other anti-censors. I have personally attempted to communicate to Rumble by email, to CEO Chris Pavlovski, and to Head of Product Rick Racela the imminent and urgent danger that relying solely on Cogent and Path presents to their companies, and all of their customers. >I stress that, even a few years ago, a T1 ISP making waves to try and censor online content would have been international news, a terrible blow to their reputation within the industry, and no company would possibly trust them with supplying transit. >I would like to end this article with a call to action. “Here is the problem, here is the solution.” While I would generally encourage intelligent cooperation between Anti-Censorship movements, I have no hope for that. Anti-censorship is inherently individualistic, as those types benefit from freedom the most. >Some cohesion is necessary. The anti-censorship crowd is mostly preoccupied with lining their own pockets. Every anti-censorship startup seems hellbent on being the first person to “solve” the censorship issue, without any cooperation from others, so that they may take in all the “glory”. There is no conservative think-tank doing what the pro-censorship camps do every day: combining intelligence, power, and money. Instead, we each run our own race, and make less progress overall, falling further behind in our endeavors every day, winning only superficial victories with video games and in local jurisdictions, while pro-censorship wins on the big stage and behind the curtains of the international organizations who actually make decisions. >Anti-censorship, in general, appears most sensitive to pop culture changes, like media localization, video game outfits, and movie race swaps. I fear this may be because anti-censorship has become complacent and defeatist. It appears to many that perhaps the only achievable victories are keeping a movie remake’s character White. I think many are spending their time absorbed in media because our real situation seems so dire. The plane is crashing and everyone just wants a nice in-flight movie. >I ask that everyone makes their every day more productive than Liz Fong-Jones and his friends have made theirs.

I'm pleased to announce that both the onion and Redchannit are fixed and updated. Note that we have a new vanity onion address named after the Aleph frontend that Codexx, Cube, Doggermelon, and others have worked so hard to make for us. http://alephchvkipd2houttjirmgivro5pxullvcgm4c47ptm7mhubbja6kad.onion Reminder that websockets do not work over the onion (and never did), so remember to disable them in 8chan Settings to get the Refresh timer back. Have a great week everyone!

Captcha is super fucking broken

I'm posting from Tor because captcha is fucking broken on the clearnet.

>>9304 Test

>>9306 What happen?

>>9307 I was tweaking the cache just a tiny bit and left an extra | in a line of code that made a real mess of things for a second.

>>9307 But everything seems fixed now. I had to purgedump the .moe frontend so it'll be a little slow for a minute.

I can't get past the splash screen at all on Waterfox G6.0.14. Note that this isn't Waterfox Classic, just regular Waterfox, so it should be pretty similar to Firefox ESR. After I click "I Agree" and get to the Welcome to 8chan page, it doesn't redirect and trying to load any page just gives me the splash screen again. I've tried deleting the cookies for 8chan, I've tried clearing the entire cache, I've tried restarting the browser with all extensions disabled, and I've tried disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection from blocking any cookies, but none of that has worked. The only thing I haven't tried is deleting all cookies because I don't know why that would work if deleting 8chan's cookies doesn't. I think this has been happening ever since the splash screen was introduced. I tried looking at Developer Tools and I noticed that in Waterfox there's only 1 cookie set for 8chan, named inbound, while in Chromium there's multiple and one is named TOS. So that seems relevant but I don't have the knowledge to diagnose the cause.

>>9310 So the way the splash works is like this: If you come on the site anywhere and you don't have the "TOS=1" cookie, it catches that. It then sets the cookie called "inbound" to save the URL that you were trying to visit, and then it redirects you to the Disclaimer page. Then when you click the AGREE link,it sets the TOS=1 cookie, then reads the "inbound" cookie and redirects you to the URL that it saved for you. Its an ultra basic system. There's none of the weird hacky shit the old splash had and the entire thing including error handling is ~30 lines of code. I'll look into Waterfox but I can't imagine what the hell it could be doing. Do you have some kind of privacy addon messing with referer headers or cookies? Edit: Try turning off the Waterfox "Annoyances" filter, and if you're using Ublock Origin shut it off and test it. It seems that Waterfox has some odd interaction with those two things that fucks some session cookies. Edit2: Its definitely something on your end. I just went and downloaded the exact version of Waterfox that you specified, and the splash disclaimer and cookies all work normally.

>>9311 I found the problem. If I had network.http.referer.spoofSource set to True in about:config and load 8chan, it permanently locked me out until I both disabled it AND either deleted 8chan's cookies or deleted the cache. I had already tried disabling that setting before because it seemed like something that could be causing the problem, and I had tried clearing cache and 8chan's cookies, but I needed to both disable it and then clear. Weird that either clearing the cache (without clearing the cookies) or deleting 8chan's cookies worked. Anyway, I doubt many other people have network.http.referer.spoofSource set, that was from me setting it manually rather than any default option, but I figured I'd give you the details in case they are indicative of any other potential problems.

>>9312 >Weird that either clearing the cache (without clearing the cookies) or deleting 8chan's cookies worked. Actually nevermind, I wasn't paying attention and the option I was using was deleting the cached data for 8chan as well. Also it's only if I click the "I Agree and Wish to Proceed" with network.http.referer.spoofSource set, just loading the splash page doesn't do it. Something about loading the page that's supposed to redirect me with that set meant it didn't work regardless of that setting until the cache was deleted.

>>9313 I'm glad you figured it out. The splash checks your referer to see if you clicked the link, so that would definitely break it. You were clicking and it wasn't registering.

Did you tweak the DDOS protection? The site's been going apeshit on me lately. I've seen more 429s in the past few weeks than I've seen in last four years.

>>9315 I have a hard time getting it to trigger even when I'm trying. What exactly are you doing that trips it?

>>9316 How do you crosslink in the header/message area with the fancy brackets? e.g.【sister board goes here】

>>9319 I actually don't know, it was a couple board owners who came up with that. Codexx can probably answer you when he sees your post.

>>9319 That was started by Chai and kept going by me, the miniwebring or boardring. Anyway the code is simple basically it's [name anons see](/urbort) I usually add three ' on either side of this code to make the text bold, make a line or space between links. Heres some sample code from >>>/b/ [Weapons](/k)|[National Socialism](/ns)|[Politically Incorrect](/polk)|[Video Games](/abdl)|[Books](/lit)|[Role Playing Games](/tg)

So something like '''[Board Name](/crosslink)'''

>>9321 >>9322 Ah thanks. I didn't even realize it was a built in functionality till I started poking around.

>>5423 Hey, I'm a BO here reporting that illegal content was recently posted on my board. I sent an email to the admin email address with more specifics and I'd like to request your eyes on my board. The post in question should still be in my board's banned posts.

>>9324 What's your board? >illegal content was recently posted on my board If you see illegal content posted on your board then ban it, trash it and then globally report the trashed content (it should still be showed on Lastest Posts or trashbin) so a Global can look into it and deliver the proper global ban. Globals browse all 8chan's boards but local moderators are always the first line of defence in these situations. Also encourage your users to read the global ruling, report the illegal content accordingly and do not engage with it.

I would like to have a feature where I can change pictures of threads, I made my lounge thread cyclic but there is no option to change the picture afterwards.

>>9329 Create new OP with new pics, merge old thread into new one, delete old OP. Congrats you just changed the picture. You are welcome.

>>9330 wooow I didn't know that I could do that

Somehow, users on my board are deleting their posts even though I have that functionality disabled. This is a problem as it leads to undesirable loss of content - I have only noticed that this is happening rather recently, and am alarmed by the possibility that much more content could have been lost already. The deletion results in no log action and its nature is clearly that of actions taken by the users themselves, such as rephrasing a post they just made and correcting errors. I am somehow unable to replicate this myself while logged out. I haven't received a response about this elsewhere, so I guess I must bring it up here now. Is there something about this whole feature that I am missing?

>>9333 What board, and can you link an example of a remade post?

>>9334 /interracial/. For "remade", do you mean I should restore a post that has been self-deleted in the way I described? >>>/interracial/24551 fits the bill. Here the user deleted and reposted the same thing while (You)ing the poster he meant to respond to.

>>8760 >>8761 >>8772 >>8773 Just wanted to inform you that it's still not working

I've been struggling to access the site with .moe, .se and .cc, I've been getting Error 404 often.

>>9337 Ok I see this has been answered >>9289

>>9338 It looks like an ancient block on a Swedecuck/Norwegian ISP is the culprit. This goes all the way back to when the site was founded. At one point in time we had the main server in Sweden, and while our host there was fine with us this other network took offense to sharing bandwidth with muh evil h8chan (this was during the big reign of terror going after Jim and 8kunt when people kept thinking we were them) and kept spamming complaints about us so we blocked them + their customers. This was in like 2020. Same thing happened with some French ISP and another one that I can't remember, all from around that same timeframe. The reason you're seeing it more recently is because I universalized all the frontend code when I did all the network upgrades a few weeks ago, so now that block is also shared between the frontends.

>>9339 >big reign of terror going after Jim and 8kunt when people kept thinking we were them. still not sure you guys didn't do more to differentiate from old 8chan. should called the place “Game Chan” or “Gamer Chan” would have made why more sense. Since /v/ was the foundational board and largest population (at the time) during the split.

>>9341 The reason is that Mark and Acid are not very bright individuals.

>>9341 The point is 8chan's name is already linked to "you can build your own community here" unlike any other name. Thar's the reason why we get migrant communities settling here from time to time.

>>9343 The only people that are actually aware 8chan's gimmick is that anyone can create a board here are only people that already actively used the site to begin with. 8chan is not known as the board where you can create any board to the wider public, even among cuckchan niggers, and it never has been. It's always just been known in mythos as the super duper racist version of 4chan. The only people making their boards here are doing it because they were aware of the happenings and kept up with the sphere of webring sites. No one is thinking to themselves that they want to create their own imageboard page and googling "8chan" then finding this site. That has never happened once. The entire reason this site is called 8chan is because Mark was sentimentally tied down to it. Anything else is just post hoc rationalization.

>>9341 It was a matter of principle. Half the world decided, led by journopigs and SJWs, to stamp out "8chan." They took everyone's home and tried to turn it into a curse just to rub all of our faces in it. They set out to hound it to the ends of the Earth and make an example out of it to flex on anons and anon culture. You don't reward people like that with success, so we carried on the name just to spite them. The name has caused us no small number of headaches over the years but I'm proud that we did it and stuck to our guns.

I need a feature where post delay variable is being visible to the end user, the reason is simple is because I am going to run a chatbot on my board and I don't want to trigger this post delay getting longer because of trying to post while the delay is in effect. So for the quick reply and on the regular posting box a text that is placed somewhere that says how many seconds are left before you can post again would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

>>9346 Pretty sure it's a fixed number, like 10 seconds? If you're writing a script it should be pretty easy to just figure it out and adjust accordingly. Why would you need that timer exposed on the front-end? Makes no sense. Like 5 minutes of testing would have this solved.

>>9347 It's not a fixed value, maybe the base value is 10 but there is another random factor to it whose maximum number I don't know. Still with having this new feature then I would be able to post without triggering the post delay when upon failed attempt it would increase the delay value by another unknown factor which is something I want to avoid so that I can have a comfortable chatting experience with the bot on my board. Of course I could just talk the bot directly with Sillytavern but I would like to use this new technology to have a public chatting experience even if its just me and the bot.

>>9348 You can clearly make multiple posts in less than 30 seconds and I'm not sure why a bot would need to post more often than that. The only time I've ever experienced throttling is when solving captcha's. I've never seen consecutive posts throttled even when I've spammed GG threads with shota's.

>>9349 The bot is using the same cookie as I am getting from this site, so that means each time the bot is posting my "allowance" to post gets reduced a bit, hence my request for this feature.

>>9350 I just tested it and it never gets throttled at 20 seconds between each post. It might be lower but I don't care enough to find the exact threshold. Acid and the hue tranny haven't pushed even the most basic of feature requests from years ago, I would not expect them to add something that niche.

Are the admins checking every single thread that gets deleted? There's been a lot of fedposting that gets deleted by the local mods first before the global mods also delete it.

>>9352 Define fedposting, and specify which board. And after you do feel free to kys for being a cuck who doesn't understand the american constitution nor the first amendment thereof.

>>9352 If it has any global reports on it we still see it in the trash bin. If its obviously a GR violation then we delete it from there to clear the report.

I appear to have lost some sort of race condition. Maybe you just don't appreciate the language that I'm using to discuss the issue. Here's an issue that'll probably be too much of a pain in the ass for you to reproduce to ever actually fix. Cheers.

>>9355 Can you give a little more detail? I see a normal looking shot of one of the boards with a reply hover.

>>9354 We usually delete it within 3 minutes, I'd be surprised if anyone actually had time to report it.

>>9355 The reply being hovered is a reply to that thread that isn't showing up on the index. The reply should be between the two pictures. As I said: I appear to have lost a race condition that has made my reply not show up on the index page.

>>9356 Let me try again: Post 979084 is a post in thread 841008, as are posts 979083 and 979086. Post 979084 is between posts 979083 and 979086. What I am seeing: post 979084 is not present on the index. What I expect: post 979084 should be visible and highlighted. This only effects the index page. Severity: low. Likely unable to be reproduced.

>>9359 Got it. And reproduced it, in fact. What the hell. I'll pass this to Codexx so he can see what's going on there.

Hi staff!, I wanted to ask, Is there no way to use custom CSS anymore? Before I remember that it was with "yotsuba B" then that changed and it no longer worked, but I could choose "undefined" in the list of choices and it worked, now I see that they have removed the "undefined" option and I tried again with "Yotsuba B " and with all the others on the list, but none of them work.

>>9363 I mean are you sure it doesn't work? It should work.

>>9364 but with which of the options should it work? I have tried with my phone, also on my pc, and nothing. I even just downloaded Edge to try (I did this before deleting the coockies and cache of my main browser) and nothing either, still doesn't work :s

Some minor dev announcements: The GeoIP block has been reduced on the .moe domain. I've removed all the little Euronigger networks from it and also unblocked Germany there after verifying that absolutely none of our upstream stuff runs through their territory. Our hosts routinely tell Germany to suck deez nuts over GDPR demands, so they're not afraid of eurocucks so we'll see how it goes. For the moment Germanons are welcome back. I think Chrome users are hitting the "Slow Down Asshole" throttle error a lot more than other users because of Chrome's obnoxiously aggressive pre-fetching routine. Basically every time you request one thing on the site, Chrome also fires off requests for every single thing nearby, or linked in, the thing you requested. Did you open a thread that had some post in it with a >>> crosslink? Well it requested that thread too, in the background, and also all of both threads thumbnails and js, etc. Firefox does this too but has its own rate limiter so as not to be rude about it, and this means it won't trip the throttle unless you're the one clicking all over. Chrome just fucking #yolo shotguns a million requests everywhere, which is pretty much the same thing as a DoS attack which is why the throttle trips. Mobile Chrome is even worse about this. There is no solution. Welcome to Die. Actually if you see a lot of 429 errors just look up how to turn off pre-fetching in your browser.

activation emails don't seem to arrive?

>>9367 Email codexx at cock.li with your username and email. He can do it manually.

Damn I've been getting a lot of connection failed warnings recently and it seems to be damn near impossible for me to upload anything more than a few MBs.

>>9369 Because of Tor's limited, shared bandwidth when accessing the site, uploads there are capped at 8MB. This was a recent tweak made when the onion was brought online.

>>9370 Silvia just killed Kohlchan. I suggest you tell the globals to keep an extra eye just in case.

>Kohlchan is dead Good. one less pedo infested shithole

>>9370 Dang. Is that per file or per post? At least it's good to know a file size number I guess. >This was a recent tweak made when the onion was brought online. Is it suppose to be caped if you're using a clearnet address through tor as well?

>>9373 Per post. And yes, its capped for both. For Tor we set the limit to match old 8chan's upload limit: Up to 5 files, 8MB total. I know it seems shitty, but the traffic from Tor gets really weird when you have a handful of users pushing larger uploads. Tor's average bandwidth is something like 300kb, and there's a bottleneck where the exit node connects to the site, no matter if its to the onion or the frontend. Capping the upload size means the site can support many more Tor users simultaneously, and for Tor an 8MB upload is actually pretty good sized. Its basically "good dialup / shitty DSL speed."

>>9374 It's surprisingly prohibitive. I can't even post the Squilliam compilations anymore.

>>9372 Guess you lack the concept for containment.

suggestion: i2p portal

Why does a lot of the recent cheeze posting seem targeted at >>>/vore1/ ?

>>9380 Based on its behavior, the entity that we've taken to calling "The CP link bot" seems to target boards that are A: in the topbar, and B: ones where their very first post received a slow or sluggish reaction time from mods. They used to hit /v/ too, but its too active these days and users too quick to report so it eventually gave up there. Now we see it mostly on /vore1/, the top two hispa boards, and /tkr/. Its been an active subject of discussion and globals are making an effort to be faster about actively sweeping the boards and not *primarily* waiting for reports like was once the SOP. In response the bot's operator has been hitting the site much more often lately, in what we think is a desperate scramble to try and keep his posts visible on the site towards whatever payday these niggers expect to earn from it. Our reaction to them is pic related. Edit: For those who don't know, there's a site that actually tracks these bots around the Internet. Here's the tracking page for the one that hits us all the time: https://xj9k.neocities.org/posts/cp2/ As you can see, he's a busy little fucker.

If I open a thread then hit stop while the thread not finished loading all of thread’s thumbnail, the thread show “Could not reload capctha” and don’t let me post. I can see the bottom of the thread so it is not like the thread itself that didn’t load. Expected behaviour: I should be able to post, as the board is without captcha. It shouldn’t be required to load all thread pics.

>>5423 hello, can 8moe admin please verify my account.

>>7848 >codexx (at) cock (dot) li Is this email still active? I sent a request for account verification several days ago and haven't gotten a response yet (also sent to the regular admin adress from the FAQ and no candle either). I understand the admin might be busy during the week, but there's also a possibility that the mail I set got lost, and I wanted to confirm if they received it. (to clarify, I'm not the anon above me).

>>9393 hello, who are you?

I believe I have cleared the backlog of manual e-mail verifications. If anyone is still expecting account verification, let me know.

>>9395 I've resent you the mail I sent the other day just now. I believe it has all the information for verification.

>>9396 I do believe I have sent you a response already, and the account with the corresponding e-mail should be confirmed.

== >>9396 Holy shit why does the captcha reload so often now?== I can barely fill it out in time with how fast it's moving combined with the weird fonts.

Having captcha stuck on "reloading" from my browser and cannot post anything thnx

Hello, since our owner has resigned, I would like to claim /zoo/

>>9402 Can someone also please claim the following boards?: /delicious/ /loli/ /sm/

>>9403 That's a lot of controversial boards to claim at once. I don't know if I want to take all of this at once myself. Maybe later if no one wants them.

test

>>9403 Basically all of those boards save maybe delicious should just have their users merged into /h/. It's completely pointless to have an entire board dedicated to loli or shota. Each board can have 500 threads on it, there's 212 on /sm/, 169 on /loli/, and 108 on /h/ right now. Consolidation of porn boards results in significantly more overall activity. Considering acid was frothing at the mouth over fragmentation of imageboards you'd think he'd lean into having people centralize their boards a bit better than they do here.

We have “? in captcha now? >>9407 You are saying pointless to have an entire board dedicated to then giving evidence of how much specific threads of those loli or shota spawned, hence needed to be split. Also the fact those still exist in /h/ show the more 'extreme' content too much /h/ user The yugioh thread in /v/ asked to be moved to my yugioh thread in /tg because theirs die too quickly on week basis. I made mine to focus on paper (and I hate /v/) , and now I need to deal with coomer-weebs and digital yugioh diluting the already small paper yugioh.

>>9409 >You are saying pointless to have an entire board dedicated to then giving evidence of how much specific threads of those loli or shota spawned, hence needed to be split. The evidence is that literally every single one of those threads can exist on a single board and still have room before reaching the thread cap. You have no evidence for them actually needing their own boards, you're just asserting it. >Also the fact those still exist in /h/ show the more 'extreme' content too much /h/ user /h/ only bands retarded shit that doesn't even exist on /loli/ anyways, so it's moot point. 99% of the content on /loli/ fits perfectly on /h/. >The yugioh thread in /v/ asked to be moved to my yugioh thread in /tg because theirs die too quickly on week basis. Completely irrelevant. /v/ routinely hits its thread cap, which by the way is set to 210 when the maximum allowed is 500. If the thread cap was increased on /v/ virtually no thread would ever get deleted for 6+ months at a time. /h/ does not hit the thread cap. The notion that 3 separate boards need to exist because some disgusting retards want to see scat porn is fucking retarded.

>>9410 >>9407 The point of 8moe is that I can make whatever board I want. I could make a board for Romanian mude black and white movies from 1932 if I ever wanted to, whether if it gets an actual userbase and considerable amount of posts is a different matter. >The notion that 3 separate boards need to exist because some disgusting retards want to see scat porn is fucking retarded. The point is if they want to make their boards and there are anons posting there then anything else is irrelevant. That's the core of an infinity ib, making boards is up to the userbase, not the administration.

>>9411 >The point of 8moe is that I can make whatever board I want. And I can create 47 video game board alternatives. Yeah no shit I can make whatever board I want retard. The conversation isn't about what you can do, it's what one ought to do in order to create a forum conducive to healthy activity. Do you have the reading comprehension of a child?

>>9412 >The conversation isn't about what you can do, it's what one ought to do in order to create a forum conducive to healthy activity. The point is they made their boards, retard, they don't want to post on /h/ simply because they don't feel like it and you can't force them to do it.

>>9413 You're telling me someone made these boards? That's unbelievable, I never knew that. I thought that manifested out of the void like magic. Well now that you've enlightened me with that insight, well actually it changes literally nothing because it's completely besides the fucking point. The boards are abandoned. An anon requested a call to action to have them moderated. I pointed out that moderating or using them is pointless when you could just be using /h/ instead and consolidating activity. Stop responding to my posts if you're going to continue to be an ESL subhuman who can't parse the english language.

>>9414 >An anon requested a call to action to have them moderated Then go ahead and claim them, retard and redirect them to /h/, is it really that hard to understand? >B-but muh, I don't want to work, I want to someone else to do it for me :( Kill yourself, lazy mongrel

>>9415 >Then go ahead and claim them, retard and redirect them to /h/, is it really that hard to understand? Claiming a board only to squat it and redirect to another is blatantly against the site rules you fucking moron.

>>9416 It's not, retard, I did it with /hispachan/

>>9417 Then you should have the board removed from your control. Neither Acid nor Codexx if asked would say that it's acceptable to claim boards with the objective of squatting them and redirecting traffic. Feel free to call them over here to totally epicly own me by stating otherwise, they won't.

Before making plans about merging the content of multiple boards into one you should ask yourself why multiple boards were created in first place.

>>9419 Profound.

>>9418 I asked Codexx and he was okay with it, nigger, do you want me to post the IRC logs too, retard? you can also claim the board and say "I'm going to keep moderating this board but you should check this one for more content and activity" or stupid bullshit like that. >>9419 Fucking this. A lot of people don't like loli shit and you don't need two neurons to realize the reason why delicious and loli are two separated boards is because a lot of loli niggers don't like R34 of American cartoons, and some of them get into heated and dumb arguments about it, ending with derailments and unnecessary discussions. If that guy thinks he can dumb them together then he's a fucking newfag.

>>9421 >I asked Codexx and he was okay with it, nigger, do you want me to post the IRC logs too, retard? You can go into IRC and get him to come here and publicly state to everyone that it is permitted behavior to claim any board that is abandoned for the purpose of locking it and redirecting people to your own board. But what will happen instead is that he'll point out that while their might be niche edge cases where a process like that might technically occur, that it is not a standard practice. So he won't confirm that as a publicly stated position on board claims because anyone with a 3 digit IQ can see the problems with such a system. Including you, since you immediately followed it up by qualifying it with <"I'm going to keep moderating this board but you should check this one for more content and activity" or stupid bullshit like that. Regardless all of this is completely irrelevant. No one should be forced at gun point to use a board. No one needs to claim competing boards to push traffic to their own. The point that was being made is that there should be cultural pressure for people to consolidate their activity, which has clearly flown right over your taconigger brain. >A lot of people don't like loli shit There is already loli shit on /h/. You are unimaginably fucking stupid.

>>9422 you are a whinny nigger faggot. Out of curiosity are you /av/ owner? he also reacted very heated when we told him he was a stupid newfag for trying to dump together a lot of boards and subjecs that barely fit together.

>>9423 >Out of curiosity are you /av/ owner? I am not a shit-skin, no. >he also reacted very heated when we told him he was a stupid newfag for trying to dump together a lot of boards and subjecs that barely fit together. You're comparing a board merging anime and video games together, to a hentai board, having more hentai posted to it.

>>9422 >is permitted behavior to claim any board that is abandoned for the purpose of locking it and redirecting people to your own board. It is. When /hispachan/ was abandoned, the board was closed and some of its threads were moved to /hisparefugio/ while codexx himself put messages telling its users to migrate to the new board. However, since the idea of moving different communities to a shared board is almost certain to cause annoyance among their users, I doubt the administrators will want to support it.

>>9410 >/v/ routinely hits its thread cap.. > no thread would ever get deleted for 6+ months And they still die.I didn't brought that excuse as argument for this board merge, I'm telling why they migrated >3 separate boards need to exist because some x want to see y Reverse that and that's how native get replaced. You still celebrate your sorry ass of survive getting killed by land owner after stealing their land, thanksgiving? >>9424 pig skin is shitskin. You got burned by literal sunlight

>>9425 >It is. It is 100% not permitted behavior to go around claiming any abandoned board for the purpose of directing its traffic to your own. Just because it happened in some niche spic microcosm under admin supervision doesn't mean that it's a standardized and acceptable practice. >>9426 >And they still die. What the fuck does this even mean? Are you retarded? >Reverse that and that's how native get replaced. You still celebrate your sorry ass of survive getting killed by land owner after stealing their land, thanksgiving? Oh you actually have brain damage and can't form coherent sentences, that's interesting. Fucking blow your brains out wetback. >pig skin is shitskin. You got burned by literal sunlight Are we going to play this game of pretend where we act like spic culture doesn't revere being light skinned? I'm sorry, you probably don't understand most of the words, never mind.

How is the trash bin supposed to work? I see a post in there that looks slightly retarded, so the poster may have felt embarrassed and deleted his post. However, other posters have mentioned deleting their own posts, and I've never seen them in there. I have no vols so nobody else could have deleted it.

>>9424 >to a hentai board, having more hentai posted to it. except almost all the content posted on /delicious/ are cgi lolis that were previously decreed to be highly illegal but mysteriously never get deleted now with no official update on the matter. the single user dumping those is doing better numbers for that board than /h/ is getting altogether and you want to merge the boards and tell him that content isn't allowed anymore because /h/ is a hentai board that doesn't allow icky 3dpd shit?

>>9428 All posts end in the trash bin regardless of who deleted them (unless an admin deletes it, in that case the post is fully removed from the server). Posts deleted by a BO, board volunteer or global staff are recorded in their respective board's logs, while posts deleted by users don't appear in the logs. Trashed posts are removed from the server after a couple of days. It is possible that the posts users are talking about have been deleted by the time you notice them.

>>9429 >Basically all of those boards save maybe delicious should just have their users merged into /h/. You should try reading next time.

>>9407 All I want to know is what the "Moot of Dead Boards" post on /sm/ was about! And the reply involving the reaper and doors too!

>>9431 its the only board that could be argued to even have users to merge in the first place so I don't really care about your weasel worded cop out. if anything /h/ should be merged into /delicious/ and you can just cope with pedobear being all over the board as you stick to your old hag containment thread.

>>9414 They're not abandoned in the sense that no one posts on them. They're only abandoned in that the BO stopped logging in.

>>9433 Man you should have just dropped it. This reply made it so much more embarrassing of a blunder. Even for you lcp this was a pretty bad one.

>>9435 what you don't like the idea of being confined to a single thread just for the sake of bolstering the pathetic numbers of a board with an entirely different ethos? did you know that not having a meddling board owner thats trying to dictate what people can post and where is the entire reason why /delicious/ became the defacto loli board while /loli/ got boycotted by the entire community back on 8chan? its too bad that its now being boycotted as well to the point of nobody even wanting to claim it because it made the mistake of coming here and being subjected to the same meddling bullshit by the admins who also waited until it was too late to walk anything back. its almost like the people who are actually in control of the situation aren't the self appointed rulers that have the power to erase other peoples posts but the users who decide whether or not your website becomes an irrelevant ghost town of dead boards.

>>9436 You are rapidly getting less coherent over the years. You used to be pretty easy to understand but I can barely even figure out what the fuck you're talking about these days. Have you been drinking enough water?

>>9437 this is a conversation about merging boards into /h/ and why thats such a shit idea. its run by a control freak thats catering the board to their particular whims and thats why even abandoned boards that are steered by no one are performing better. people aren't using your boards because they don't want you. people aren't using this website because they don't want you. your largest community is one that can't even speak your language because that language barrier protects them from you. is that cut and dry enough or does it need some more dumbing down in order for you to make sense of it?

>>9438 With heavy squats I think you can get back to your former self. Come back next week and we'll try again.

>>9439 >With heavy squats I was about launch into a long rand about how retarded the Legions of Vottan are but then I realized what board this is.

>>9439 >Come back next week and miss out on a whole weeks worth of 8moe schadenfreude? not a chance.

For future reference, this is the reason why we segregate porn boards into niches: To avoid retarded ass discussion and instead focus on posting porn

>>9443 For future reference, you're a massive fucking retard.

>>9444 >>9434 Ahem... >>9432

>>9450 SHUT UP, TRANSLATION!!!

>PRESIDENT TRUMP has been >PRESIDENT you lot are really farrest Right if you call him that post covid. This is why our old partner from 8kun stop hosting our board's content. Now tell me script to block news, i don't want to see any of your political shoehorning. >>8464 >You can check if your posts are being deleted and post them again. I was in Smug/a/ years ago. a post from months ago complaining that y series from x franchise is bad. made 5 paragraphs spread on 3 post reply on it. Week/month later I return to find my post contaiing argument debunking all of their deleted. No comment given by mod in meta thread. I try making same argument on original post, deleted again. People who come to post and making argument on spot don’t expected it to be deleted immediately. No backup for that. that’s why I left smug/a/. preventing with filter is one thing, autodelete is another and that’s if said BO want to hear plea to restore user’s post.

>>9455 It's long been traditional to refer to ex presidents still as president. >Now tell me script to block news Just wank around with your CSS and you can remove it.

>>9432 It's probably just drive-by memeposting. It likely means nothing.

>>9455 Should I say "yay" or "boo" to the expurgation shot?

>>9458 I just want to make sure this imageboard is fine; I don't want you to resort to your backup plan(s).

>>9458 >>9459 The site is fine, if the shooter successfully announced his plans here before going out, then that would be an issue. Nevertheless, our servers are not even located in USA, so if USA government wants to go after us, then it would be very difficult for them.

Really call the one with ball to shoot their beloved president as soy. probably ronaldo is the shooter. I don't give a fuck about your politic Rightist

Renewing my request to claim /zoo/, in case Codexx or Acid didn't see it.

About rule 17, I think it should also clarify that another reason why a user cannot see the images is because the referer is disabled or some extension or configuration is blocking it. And with respect to: >For reasons unknown, some search engines rank the archive domains higher in search results than the primary domains It's probably because the search engines don't know how to get around the crappy splash screen and therefore can't get the real content of the site. One way to solve this would be to, on the one hand, block search engines on archive domains with robots.txt, and on the other, have the server check the useragent to determine if it comes from a normal user or from a search engine before to show the splash screen.

>>9474 >One way to solve this would be to, on the one hand, block search engines on archive domains with robots.txt, and on the other, have the server check the useragent The problem with this is that archive today is insidious about getting past paywalls, logins, and splash pages. Its not an exaggeration to say that they practically hack your site if you try to stop them, and one of the things that it will do is spoof every big name user agent like Google in the hopes of finding just such a loophole.

Bruh what's this, it didn't make any post in the first place

>>9476 It's cuz ur gay lol

>>9476 ACID FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY

Remember how you got delisted from webring for listing some racial porn board's >>9084? I just check board list and found another one but an antithesis to a weeb topic/board. Guess "freedom for everyone" for you also extended to same people oppressing said freedom

>>9487 No one has cared about the webring concept for a couple years. It accomplishes nothing more than being a stupid friendship badge. It doesn't drive traffic, it doesn't increase activity. It's worthless to everyone involved.

>>9487 Webring as a concept was a failure because it was made by war mongering retards. The main issue was they wanted to made anything besides a "cool list of other websites you can check". > I just check board list and found another one but an antithesis to a weeb topic/board. What board? a random for anything besides weeb shit seems like a fun concept. >Guess "freedom for everyone" for you also extended to same people oppressing said freedom What are you talking about?

>>9488 It drove traffic for a little while. What was strange, and in hindsight kinda funny, is that after they kicked us out we kept growing slowly and the webring's numbers started dropping. They used to be a little bit bigger than us in global UIDs and pph, and they dropped to about half over time. I quit paying attention to them about a year ago, but from peeking in the other day it doesn't look like its improved any. Pic related is about two days old and is not edited. >>9486 We're aware. A major site improvement is going on the the background right now, to be deployed sometime this week. Backend stuff, nothing for users this time. We'll get it fixed after that. Google has had us delisted for so long that SEOing any of the site's pages has never been a concern before.

>>9490 >is that after they kicked us out we kept growing slowly Spic numbers don't count.

>>9491 Cope and seethe. That's the other thing that tickles me, personally. I don't speak for the other admins on this, but I enjoy not having to care about the webring. They don't believe in free speech, and they don't believe in mutual support and defense between sites and boards or equal treatment of their communities. They always implied that they did but they never acted on it. We do, to the point that we allowed a board for the ex-9chan pedo community, undoubtedly the most unpopular and plagued community on the face of the planet, and we defended them just like we would anybody else - until they fucked it up by breaking the law and got banned like anyone else would. That was one hell of a test and our free speech and fair treatment chops are beyond reproach, as far as I'm concerned. IMO the webring is just another alt-chan crab bucket like so many before, and them kicking us out back then just meant that we escaped. I never riff on or discourage crossposting because anons post where they want for their own reasons and I respect that, but the webring as a managed entity is practically a damned lolcow and I think everybody knows it. The last I knew they tried to avoid even mentioning our domain name around their sites like we're some kind of bogeyman, while we never think about them or discuss them at all except when anons bring it up like this. That should tell you everything you need to know.

>>9490 >>9492 Is this the main reason why I didn't see anything when I went to 8chan.moe? Whatever that is...

>>9493 I can't make sense of your words anon. Do you mean searching for us on Google? We've been delisted there for a very long time, apart from the archive domains.

>>9492 >hey this type of traffic isn't relevant to the core userbase of your site <spouts cuckchan template response Okay. >They always implied that they did but they never acted on it. No one on the webring ever implied they care about some arbitrary concept of free speech. They're just internet forums for talking about shit. >We do, to the point that we allowed a board for the ex-9chan pedo community, undoubtedly the most unpopular and plagued community on the face of the planet, and we defended them just like we would anybody else - until they fucked it up by breaking the law and got banned like anyone else would. Not sure why you're bringing up "legal" speech that you decided to censor after talking about how dogmatically pro free speech you are. >That was one hell of a test and our free speech and fair treatment chops are beyond reproach, as far as I'm concerned. Your test of fair treatment is that if a BO decides to moderate what you consider to be acceptable content poorly that it gets blanket banned indefinitely? Don't get me wrong, purging the pedoniggers was necessary and good for the site. But your attempt to spin it off as somehow in line with your bizarre concept of strict adherence to free speech are completely incoherent. I'm not sure why you're even bringing it up, it just makes you sound like an idiot. >IMO the webring is just another alt-chan crab bucket like so many before, and them kicking us out back then just meant that we escaped. Being "kicked out" of the webring just means the website everyone always knew the domains for can't be clicked on some retarded friendship list. It doesn't translate into anything of substance. You're just obsessed with sentimentality and grand narratives about things that are actually extremely mundane. >but the webring as a managed entity is practically a damned lolcow and I think everybody knows it. Why is the "webring" as an entity any more of a lolcow than you are? It's a place where people post about video games and retarded shit. You haven't described any behavior that is lolcow worthy besides the administration not liking you, which is a pretty biased standard for something being lolcow tier. >The last I knew they tried to avoid even mentioning our domain name I think they just call 8moe blacked.moe because it's funny, dude. Maybe if you had the foresight not to post interracial porn on like 5 separate occasions the would call it 8moe instead. Which by the way, no one even here refers to this site by its literal domain name.

>>9491 >8moe has organic grow <"I-It doesn't count because they are hispanic anons" <"I-It doesn't count because they are indian anons" <"I-It doesn't count because they are 4chan refugees" <"I-It doesn't count because they are porn boards" At one point you won't be able to keep your mental gymnastics and just accept your elitist friends club was an absolute failure while this place turned into a great success. >>9495 lol didn't read lmaooo

>>9496 <"I-It doesn't count because they are hispanic anons" Yes, activity is meaningless when you obfuscate that it's segregated by language. Acid literally goes around telling English speaking anons that the site is more active than it's ever been, while the English activity has done nothing but decrease over the years. Not a single one of the sites he's comparing himself to have a bunch of spics posting on them. And not a single one of them would care or want spics posting on them because they have an English userbase. It's just fluff rhetoric that doesn't mean anything. You can lean on technicalities while ignoring the actual reality of the situation, but that is not a healthy mindset in the slightest. If it was obnoxious cuckchan retards people that spoke English then at least it would be people that you could actually interface with. There a league of difference between low quality posters and spic subhumans that can barely even comprehend their own bastardized language let alone English.

>>9492 >I enjoy not having to care about the webring Same. I enjoy not being linked to those idiots anymore. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but one of their board owners, who turned into trashchan global vol was unironically defending siberian CP spammers on their meta board some month ago. https://archive.is/lyzsK >I would observe your thread seems more of an attempt to smear the based Russians This is what webring has turned into: A bunch of clueless self righteous retards who don't know shit about image boards. I come to the conclusion chanosphere would be better without them and I'm glad they are slowly fading away. Oh a positive note, I noticed recently there are out there some old 8prime bunkers that avoided webring's retardation from the last 4 years entirely so we should try to contact them, send them our regards at the very least. >>9497 8chan is and always has been an international imageboard, you fucking newfag. There has been Spanish speaking communities since the beginning of the site. Go back to your circlejerk, webrigger.

>>9499 >8chan is and always has been an international imageboard, you fucking newfag. There has been Spanish speaking communities since the beginning of the site. Literally not a single thing in my post said otherwise. Did you respond to the wrong person or are you legitimately fucking retarded?

>>9492 >we allowed a board for the ex-9chan pedo community, undoubtedly the most unpopular and plagued community on the face of the planet, and we defended them just like we would anybody else - until they fucked it up by breaking the law and got banned like anyone else would You know what? I see it. You won't remember me but you might remember when I was furious about /hebe/? Yeah, I was fucking livid, and I didn't hold back. I mean, seriously, who thought letting that shit exist was a good idea? I ripped into the mods, the admins—everyone involved here and on /v/ probably fifty times. It felt like a betrayal of what we stand for, you know? Free speech doesn't mean being a dumb nigger just letting anything slide. But here's the twist. Over time, my view has shifted. As much as I still think /hebe/ was fucked up, I've started to see why they allowed it. It was about sticking to principles, even when it was uncomfortable. We're all about free speech here. It's in our DNA. That means defending the right to say things we hate hearing or the right of niggers to post their disgusting fetishes. It's messy, yeah, but it's about not backing down from controversy. So, while I'm not celebrating /hebe/'s former existence, I'm beginning to respect the stance. It was about not flinching when things got rough. I'm still going to call you a nigger for posting that smug whore everywhere. But today its kudos.

>>9501 I feel like I'm watching some weird cult members as you autistic retards agree with everything LCP spams every day while also praising the censorship of the content you think should be allowed on the site? Do you retards even hear how fucking incoherent the shit you're saying sounds? Censorship is bad, so you must allow pedophiles to fawn over pictures of children. Except bad actors abuse this tolerance, so you should censor them. Except you shouldn't censor them until they are really annoying and their board owner doesn't do anything about it. Then once a board owner is annoying enough it's okay to censor the thing that you said shouldn't be censored once some arbitrary threshold of annoyance is reached?

>>9501 A lot of anons ripped into us, but it wasn't like we didn't expect what was going to happen. The pedos went through the motions of pretending to follow the rules to get their board, and we went through the motions of pretending to believe them while watching them like hawks. There were no shocked Pikachus when the CP posters kept showing up and eventually started getting the site in trouble and they earned their ban by not enforcing global rules. But like you said, it was about not flinching. It was like a test. No matter how unpopular it was or how much flak we took we refused to cuck out just because we hated a board. They had to break the fucking rules and/or the law to get the axe. Period. That's what we mean by free speech and fair treatment. Thank you for seeing it. Caster a cute. >>9502 Red herring. What Pedokike/LCP/30+Gameovers actually demands is complete and absolutist free speech, but it's just the bailey to his motte of "I want to post literal CP." In reality he doesn't give a shit about any other kind of speech and he doesn't give a shit about the site, he just tries to catch disinterested anons and newfags up in his argument because until you know what he's really after, "absolute free speech" sounds like a nice idea in principle. He was so pissed about us banning Israel and the pedo board that he's vowed to destroy the site several times. >Censorship is bad, so you must allow pedophiles to fawn over pictures of children. Except bad actors abuse this tolerance, so you should censor them. Except you shouldn't censor them until they are really annoying and their board owner doesn't do anything about it. Then once a board owner is annoying enough it's okay to censor the thing that you said shouldn't be censored once some arbitrary threshold of annoyance is reached? Are you familiar with the concept of escalation at all? We try to allow as much freedom here as we can legally provide, and just like in real life we try to do solutions to problems with a sliding scale instead of just swinging the hammer everywhere at the first sign of trouble or the first feeling of guttural disgust. People like to talk shit, but we're not Reddit. How much is it worth to you to see the site prove beyond any doubt that we really will defend free speech even when its super hard and unpopular to do it?

>>9503 >Red herring. What Pedokike/LCP/30+Gameovers actually demands is complete and absolutist free speech, but it's just the bailey to his motte of "I want to post literal CP." Yes, but his argument as stated lines up with what you think should be how the site operates. Regardless of whether or not he truly believes that. But I don't even really follow anything he's said in over a year so I don't particularly care about him. >Are you familiar with the concept of escalation at all? It doesn't make any sense in this context, not in the slightest. >We try to allow as much freedom here as we can legally provide That is a coherent position. The problem is that the claim from Codexx was that there wasn't any legal issue with the content being posted, and that the pedoniggers were banned because the BO was annoying and not moderating /b/ properly and dealing with rule breaking content outside of the generic images of children. If that's the case, then pedoniggers were not banned because of legal issues, but an entire type of content was banned over a single BO being a sperg. Which is fucking retarded, even if I ultimately want that content banned. >How much is it worth to you to see the site prove beyond any doubt that we really will defend free speech even when its super hard and unpopular to do it? Like I said, I don't want pedoniggers here. I'm just pointing out that your logic and narratives don't make any sense. The real answer is just "yeah we fucked up and it was really stupid", but both you and codexx try to weave these narratives for why how you handled the pedoniggers was actually a brilliant scheme.

>>9500 >WAAAH WAAAH ONLY [race I like] ARE ALLOWED TO POST ON MY WALLED GARDEN, NOT [race I don't like] BECAUSE THEY ARE LE BAD sjw mindset Go choke on nigger dick already, jew.

>>9504 >Like I said, I don't want pedoniggers here. I'm just pointing out that your logic and narratives don't make any sense. Because you won't read them in any context other than a preconceived notion of >The real answer is just "yeah we fucked up and it was really stupid" Which is wrong. You're also mixing up /hebe/ and the thread on /b/ which was under a different BO and which was banned at a slightly later date for similar reasons. The content was banned because the whole experience had proven, through all the fair chances given and problems that resulted, that their content was a shit magnet. >>4516 I don't know if this needs to be spelled out, but "shit magnet" has a comparable but friendlier meaning to "on thin ice." A community whos activity is a shit magnet needs to be sharp on moderation and really care about what they're doing. One thing freedom of speech actually doesn't mean is "obligation for global staff to 24/7 babysit." Even if we were willing to do that, we don't have the manpower. Now can you answer my question? <How much is it worth to you to see the site prove beyond any doubt that we really will defend free speech even when its super hard and unpopular to do it? And if you don't think we proved that, then please name a better example case than the 9chan pedos getting a fair shot. How high is your bar?

>>9505 Who are you quoting? >>9506 >You're also mixing up /hebe/ and the thread on /b/ which was under a different BO and which was banned at a slightly later date for similar reasons. I don't distinguish between them because it doesn't really make a difference. But I'm primarily talking about /b/. Banning /hebe/ is different than banning the content, so it's slightly more consistent. Except not really because you isolated the content to /b/ anyways. >The content was banned because the whole experience had proven, through all the fair chances given and problems that resulted, that their content was a shit magnet. Except everyone already knew this would be the case. Apparently even including you and Codexx, and yet you spout shit about needing to run it to the logical conclusion by letting them shitting up the place for an arbitrary amount of time, which makes no sense at all and is just some weird sentiment you're coming up with. >A community whos activity is a shit magnet needs to be sharp on moderation and really care about what they're doing. Are we conflating community and content? It's one thing to ban /hebe/ because of the BO and the culture that one created being a shit magnet, it's another to blanket ban an entire form of content for being a shit magnet. >And if you don't think we proved that, then please name a better example case than the 9chan pedos getting a fair shot. How high is your bar? I don't know how to explain to you that literally no one cares about your free speech absolutism except for you and Codexx. Everyone else understands that there are types of content that put the kind of speech that people actually want to engage in in danger. Everyone understands that the site isn't going to take every single DMCA request to court in the name of defending free speech. Everyone understands that images of real children puts the site at risk. Every knew this before you played you experiment of letting the pedoniggers fuck around, and everyone knew it after. The only thing you demonstrated is that you stuck to a principle no one actually cares about for 8 months and then eventually buckled on that principle. I guess it shows that you're sort of the same kind of retard that Fredrick Brennan is in his defense of linking to onion CP sites as being "free speech". No one is disputing that you tried to play this weird game of showing off to virtually no one, since no one knows this site exists, that you are willingly to push the envelope. Yup, you definitely pushed it. Very impressive Acid, it accomplished, uh, something I guess.

>>9506 Let it go acid. Contrarian arguers like dd332b only want to be right and don't want to hear what you are actually trying to say. I get it too or feel like I do anyway. I wish the pedofaggots had never showed their faggot faces here but since they had to go and do it anyway I appreciate the way you treated them like a professional website would and not some powertripping admin. That was good at least.

>>9508 You realize the pedoniggers got banned, right? That the entire rule structure of the entire site was modified to prevent them from ever coming back? Acid literally just did the exact thing anons wanted him to except he did it after making gvols have to deal with incessant CP posts for 8 months. The fact you think that's some sort of professional way to have handled it is bewildering.

>>9507 >needing to run it to the logical conclusion by letting them shitting up the place So you do understand. What exactly do you think "a fair chance" means? No matter how "sure" we are in our little hearts of hearts that you're going to fuck something up, we recognize that we can be wrong about that. >I don't know how to explain to you that literally no one cares about your free speech absolutism except for you and Codexx. I think I see the problem here. If that's what you believe, and it at least minimally applies to yourself, then I don't think this discussion is ever really going to go anywhere. >The only thing you demonstrated is that you stuck to a principle no one actually cares about Yeah if that's what you conclude then I think we're good. You can have the last word, but I'm done for the night.

>>9510 >So you do understand. What exactly do you think "a fair chance" means? No matter how "sure" we are in our little hearts of hearts that you're going to fuck something up, we recognize that we can be wrong about that. You banned content based on a community ran by a retarded BO. Who's to say another BO wouldn't operate in good faith and quell the illegal content? We can infinitely apply your own logic to counter the actions you took to handle the pedoniggers. Yes, I understand everything you think and believe. The problem isn't that I don't comprehend what you're saying, the problem is that what you're saying is fucking stupid. >I think I see the problem here. If that's what you believe, and it at least minimally applies to yourself, then I don't think this discussion is ever really going to go anywhere. It's what you believe as well. You banned pedoniggers because it wasn't practical to achieve the maximum amount of free speech on the platform. Your actions adhere to my belief system, not your own. You already agree with me, you're just too stubborn to admit that you were wrong.d

>>9511 >>9507 What a faggot you are, anon. A prancing, tapdancing, homosexual buggerwizard. If you care so little about freedom of speech that you believe that everyone else must be as ridiculous and foolish as you, and you think we share your beliefs, then tell me. Why are you on a site that tries its best to carry 8chan's fire? On second thought, don't. It would waste the precious seconds of your time that would be far better spent enacting your suicide.

>>9512 I care about principled positions in so far as they are practically applicable. Defending pedophiles fawning over images of children is not a practical to sustain and is an isolated form of free speech that puts all other speech at risk. Which by the way in case you haven't noticed, is the exact same position that Acid and Codexx came to in the end. The only difference between what I'm saying and what they are saying is that they believe they got some sort of optics proving their chops by tolerating them for as long as they did. >Why are you on a site that tries its best to carry 8chan's fire? The better question is why do you feel the need to be ideologically in line with everything the admins of a site believe in order to use it? Acid is not my friend, I don't care about him beyond the utility he provides, or the utility he compromises with bad decisions. I use this site to interact with other people and have conversations. Just like I use yt-dlp to download youtube videos.

What was the reason 8ch disconnected from the webring? I don't keep up with e-drama, so I forget whether it was screeching autists or technical issues (I recall there being a broken implementation?)

>>9516 8moe had a bunch of pedophiles sharing images of children with each other so it got blacklisted by most sites as they didn't want to link to a board that had those images on it. Then when Acid removed them after a year no one wanted to add 8moe back. So it has been interpreted by people as the pedoshit just being an excuse to disassociate from the site because they don't like Acid and Mark, which is probably mostly true but you could also just argue that not wanting to associate with someone that let that shit fester on their site indicating they're kind of a massive retard is legitimate. Either way it doesn't really matter, it's just friendship bracelet autism.

>>9517 Thanks. That fits with the few bits I remember hearing over on other boards. >Either way it doesn't really matter, it's just friendship bracelet autism. The webring aspect is a bit less valuable to 8chan.moe and endchan, which already has a large board list and decent board discovery with the top-bar, as it is to federating tiny single-purpose board sites. It doesn't matter much, but it's nice to have.

>>>/v/993595 Not this anon but requesting .bmp posting.

Codexx, please. Make the BO rule page just a big empty text box and not these forcibly numbered rules. The global rules do not work like this and neither should BO rules. BOs don't need the site to handhold them into number their rules, and this feature complicates anything that doesn't fit into that mold, like bullet points underneath rules. Furthermore, it's retarded that you can only append new rules. Say you accidentally delete one at or near the beginning like I just did. You have to then delete all the other rules and remake them just to keep them in order. This whole system is entirely pointless and a simple blank textbox that allows newlines would be infinitely better.

Every time I try to use 8chan.se it cuts to a white screen. What happened here?

>>9524 ...every night...

>>9524 Can you give extra info? >Browser and version? >Mobile or PC? >Where are you accessing from? Just country is fine. >A screenshot would be nice. And we'll look into it.

>>9526 I meant, ever since I saw the "President Trump got shot/survived" announcement it's been like that for 8chan.moe, so I had to use 8chan.se. But rarely, it works for this site.

>>9527 Try clearing your browser cache and all your cookies for the site. Make sure we're whitelisted in any extra weird privacy extensions.

There's some odd behavior when it comes to uploading fonts to /res/. Seemingly you cannot upload a font and an image file at the same time. The font file just disappears. Sometimes the font file just won't post at all even by itself, just giving a you need a file or test message. I'm not sure if that latter problem was caused by deleting and trying to remake the post a couple of times or not.

I encountered an odd behavior. I had to issue several bans on my board, but the ban message never sticks. It disappears as soon as I refresh the page.

I want to request (if it's ok) from codexx a brief announcement advertising a new board >>>/8flags/ What is /8flags/? >A hybrid board for /ck/ foodies, /k/ommandos, /vr/ retro gamers, /an/ animal lovers, /mu/ songbirds, /u/ dykes, /mlp/ bronies, /fast/ Chris Chan with Grace-chan the party princess!

Why are these links filtered?

>>9547 Huh, weird.

>>>/v/ specific but I wanted to show off a new 4K OP for Suikoden III I had just encoded with AOM at >>>/v/995237 I ran into issues when uploading it, the site claiming the upload failed and the post itself linking to a 404 but still showing a file that doesn't exist. The webm itself plays fine on my computer on MPV. I have uploaded 8K60FPS webms as a joke before (like this one) and those uploaded and played back just fine. Is the problem the file itself or the backend? Please investigate

>>9547 Filtered referring to...

>>9547 cuz its commonly used by the cp spammer

When you double-click on an ID, the user's posts in the thread are highlighted. However, if you double-click on the same ID again, the highlighting does not disappear. This is rather counter-intuitive. Why not have the highlighting go away?

May I have /punishedg/ set to SFW?

>>9572 You're all set.

>>9576 Would you please raise the flag limit if possible, and add the option to set a default flag?

SITE META UPDATE 8-21-2024 Hello again anons. As you've noticed the site has been a little wonky the past day or so, and I'm here to give you an explanation in addition to the usual meta update. First lets get the preliminaries out of the way: Since the last update there have been: >DMCAs: 2 >Subpoenas: 1 (From Pajeetland, no less) >IP addresses reported for CSAM: 11 The warrant canary is still valid. The reason for the recent downtime is because the site was literally getting too big. We were very close to maxing out the storage capacity of the old server, and so we decided to upgrade to a new master server with the same specs but more than triple the available drive space on a nice RAID. At our current rate of growth this should last the site at least another 2-3 years, at which point we may have to be a little creative since we are already storing over two and a half million files! You read that number right. Swapping backends on a network as complex as ours is no mean feat, and we took the chance to move to a different network provider whom we know we can trust. The software gave us major headaches this time around, so thank Codexx for dealing with code compiling autism to make this possible. Moving to a sweet new backend also lets us ditch four and a half years of accumulated cruft from all our experiments, bug hotfixes, and old network setups. Its a load off the mind. In other news, would you like to know that the site has significantly more regular posters than the site stats say? Yup. As it turns out, the board and global UID counters are extremely limited! We're looking at a way to improve them in the future, but we've used the server itself to verify how many posters we actually have every week, and the averages are much higher than the 600-800 typically displayed. The correct count is closer to 2000, and sometimes more when the site is busy. After testing four times, I've found a decent rule of thumb is to look at the UID counter and triple it, and you'll be pretty close to reality. That's exciting! Currently we just want to make sure the site is running perfectly as it should, and we don't have anything else major planned for the immediate future. For my part, there is a new and improved Redchannit portal coming, and you can test it out at its new url: https://8chan.redchannit.xyz and https://redchannit.xyz for the loading page. This version is much faster and on a more powerful server with idealized caching, and supports other onion sites via custom subdomains (by invitation only). And the site will be adding another fallback domain, as we now own 8chan.us as well. That about takes care of the wrapup. Don't forget to report bugs here, especially related to captcha or files, and have a great week. Happy shitposting!

>>9582 >2,000 posters Holy shit and those are posters only, lukers could be easily over 10,000. I remember when Zeta threw a party because the site showed over 6,000 lurkers, I can't believe this place is bigger than Hispa on its prime years already, it didn't take that long. Is it possible to check out of those 2,000 posters how many of them are hispanics?

>>9582 I always thought the UID was oddly low for how active this site was. /v/ supposedly hovers around 100 users while feeling closer to 300. >>9584 How popular was Hispa in its prime? I always assumed it was a big imageboard.

>>9582 >Subpoenas: 1 What's the policy in regard to this?

>>9587 Depends on where its from. If it comes from law enforcement in a country that has jurisdiction over us then we have to give them what they ask for. For anybody else it depends. We might comply if its something like CP or another equally serious legal matter, but otherwise the general policy is to never hand over user data even to a government. And if some totalitarian shithole government like the UK or Argentina or Venezuela comes knocking over free speech they can shove it up their ass and swivel on it. >>9584 No way to tell without logging IPs out front and mass geolocating them, and we refuse to do that. User privacy is important. >>9586 Yeah, it always felt a little low to me too. What the current system actually counts is only "users who posted since midnight, and everyone who uses the same VPN only counts as 1." We need a general, weekly count like 8chan prime had.

>>9582 >2000 UIDs How many of those are assholes hopping IPs and VPNs to (1) in threads like GG general

>>9590 I came to the 2000 number by knocking off 15% or so and rounding it down, to account for those. Since I'm dicking with servers right now anyway, the raw, probably inflated number right this moment is: 2,401.

>>9591 Okay, that makes sense, still it is nice to hear that the site is decently popular, now if only those lurkers could fucking POST

I meant to ask how the hell we're storing over a million files, where are they all? It's the porn boards, isn't it?

>>9586 Zeta loved to act otherwise, but the true is It was only big relative to other Spanish speaking imageboards, in general terms it was quite small, even during the original migration, hisparefugio was smaller than /b/, /v/ and /pol/. Even when there was 6,000 lurkers, that was because some argentine feminists tried to raid the place, at that time the normal numbers were 2000-3000 (asume 200-300 posters in total using 10-90 rule), so pretty much at this point we are back to similar numbers to before the migration. >>9588 I see, so is it possible to show how many of those users are posting on Spanish speaking boards at least?

Sorry about the crash. It seems to be a bug in the database server and not our stuff. We're looking into it.

Are there any site features you guys are working on? I like seeing new stuff pop up every so often.

>>9602 Right now the site is hiccuping because of a memory leak. We've narrowed down the culprit to a fucked up Imagemagick library issue and are searching for a fix, so 8chan might be a little buggy for a while. In terms of user-facing features, a little bit. The UID counter thing would be a pretty big deal, we're going to give the boards list better exposure on the site somehow, and I'd also like to integrate the ability to play games through the site itself. Imagine clicking an OP and being dropped into a Duke3D dukematch game against other anons in the same thread. Something like that. Right now though? Debugging. Lots of debugging.

>>9592 >>9584 I just caught the bit about lurkers vs posters. We actually have a solid number on lurkers already. And it's not 10,000. It's right around one million per month or 250,000 per week.

Any plans to enable proper indexing in search engines?

Just a heads up that tor posting has been broken since the server reboot.

>>9607 Quite a bit of stuff is broken right now. We hit an unexpected bug in a "professional" software library that's key to lynxchan and its got the whole stack messed up a little bit. We've been working on it, and we'll get it solved.

>>9608 >techbros say FOSS software is second-rate and unprofessional >use paid proprietary software >bloated >poorly documented >inefficient >fucking broken dog bless

>>9609 Not paid, literally Imagemagick. tl:dr: >Imagemagick is retarded and can't see one of its own fucking dynamic libraries as valid despite being linked to it expressly with static linking disabled. It keeps ignoring it in favor of a builtin pragma that's leaking memory. Lynxchan keeps calling this same broken library link which causes it to leak memory too. The memory leak uses up all the server RAM, and starts eating into the swap. Meanwhile MongoDB is very "spiky" on memory use because the site is pretty big and has a big index. So once lynxchan, via imagemagick, has eaten all the RAM, the next time Mongo has to do a big sweep for a file it uses more RAM than the swap has left, and the OOM Reaper wakes up and kills Mongo. Then lynxchan spazzes the fuck out because the database can't be reached, and the whole motherfucking stack crashes like 9/11. We've installed from repo, we've compiled from source and tried about a hundred different things. I just did a comprehensive rebuild this morning and very tentatively I might have fixed it. We'll know in a few hours once the site is under user load. At least the fucking convert command works now, which it refused to before.

>>9294 >with Chrome dropping support Just drop support for Chrome, then. These fucking kikes at Google think they can get away with anything, don't they? Look at this shit; JPEG XL is virtually identical to PNG in terms of quality and is 50x smaller. The only reason to purposely not support it is if you're 1. objectively evil 2. trying to push your own proprietary bullshit on others 3. a jew. Just ignore Chrome. Better yet, have all JPEG XL images on this site be replaced with "Sorry, you need to use a real browser to view this image" thumbnail when the site detects a Chrome browser string.

>>9611 or since jxl can be converted looslesly into jpg, have default jxl and serve jpg to chrome/make the user's chrome autoconvert to jpg, somehow, or tell the users to download one of the existing chrome jxl extension

>>9611 also i think a better pic comparison is superimposing them and highlighting the pixels that are different, but i could just be retarded, so eh

>>9611 I do see a difference in the color gradient there.

>>9611 If you really want the site to grow up you need tu support the most popular option. The newfags are just going ro see that the images are broken and then they are going to move to somewhere else

>>9612 The problem with that would come when an XL photo has properties a regular JPG can't have, such as more channels or a dimension larger than 65535. We'd run into that here in a few edge cases since people like to "troll" with fancy images. XL can support 1.1 billion pixels on a side, for example. While the filesize limit prevents even a 1x1100000000 image, it wouldn't stop a 1x9000000 white bar. I guess Chrome users would luck out there.

Test post.

>>9611 Why even is Google being weird about JXL? They helped develop it! >>9614 If I remember correctly, JXL isn't actually loseless, just "near lossless". It doesn't handle grain or static well for example, often erasing it.

>>9603 >I'd also like to integrate the ability to play games through the site itself. Imagine clicking an OP and being dropped into a Duke3D dukematch game against other anons in the same thread. Something like that. Look into JS-DOS, you can embed DOS games that way via javascript. How to run DOS game in browser https://archive.ph/VI1Uw >In my opinion js-dos is the best API for running DOS games in a browser. Unlike other implementations: <stores progress between sessions (browser restarts) <works inside worker, which means it does not block the browser UI <works in node.js <have a headless mode, i.e. without screen output (ideal solution for VR) <supports IPX network protocol <aimed at mobile devices <has a huge library of ready-made games >Some dos games offers multiplayer gaming based on ipx, modem, or direct connection. Using browser isn’t possible to directly connect two clients. BUT using js-dos you can emulate a direct connection. This is an absolutely unique js-dos feature among DOS browser emulators. Using it, you can create a portal for online games like DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft and others. This feature is completely free. >To activate IPX support in js-dos you need to set withNetworkingApi to true: Dos(<element>, { withNetowkringApi: true, }).run(<bundleUrl>); >This is enough to integrate multiplayer games into web page. <However, in order to connect two js-dos clients using ipx, the user must set up an IPX server and provide the server token to other players. Another article by the same author relating to JS-DOS & Duke 3D Duke Nukem 3D: Deathmatch — multiplayer in a browser https://archive.ph/31of8 >Network Duke is back in the browser. <Actually, this is not really news: I launched network DOS games in the browser two years ago. But due to sanctions, this technology was destroyed. Well, I invested all my experience and developed a new version of the js-dos network stack for online gaming. Duke Nukem is currently the only published game that works over the network. But not for long… >IPX over TCP/IP <Most DOS games with network modes work over the IPX protocol, but unfortunately, this protocol doesn’t work in browsers. Therefore, it was necessary to write an implementation of IPX based on web sockets. In other words, all players who launch the game in the browser connect to a shared server and exchange messages over the IPX protocol. <This scheme is universal and allows for running DOS games without any changes. >Starting the game <Actually, it’s all very simple, and I hope that even without a tutorial video, you will be able to handle it. Here’s a brief guide: <Follow the link. <Connect to the IPX server. <Send the link to your friend. <Choose “Network Game” -> “Launch Duke Nukem 3D”. <PROFIT??? >I’m experiencing lag <The reason is simple — as I already mentioned, the game uses an intermediate server to exchange messages. Geographically, it is located in the Netherlands. The higher the ping to the server, the more lag you will experience. Unfortunately, I don’t have the possibility to buy servers all over the world so that all players have a good ping. <But there is good news — you can set up your own IPX server anywhere in the world and play using it.

I think I've got the Tor daemon debugged finally, so Torposting is back on. Torbros let me know if you hit any weird issues with it. >>9624 >>9625 So the rate limiter is tuned to trip if you make more requests than what you'd get if you opened the catalog on /v/ (biggest board) and hit Ctrl+F5. Back in the day the site had a much more granular throttle and I do intent to bring it back, but we've got all this other mess to deal with first.

>>9627 Tor test.

>>9627 >I think I've got the Tor daemon debugged finally, so Torposting is back on So what happened exactly? How did the bugged update cause Tor to disable itself? >>9621 >Look into JS-DOS, you can embed DOS games that way via javascript. >How to run DOS game in browser Gosh that would be great. I'd love to have Duke Nukem 1 and 2 running in the site. Would work great with that one anon who's trying to make a DN CSS.

Also there's some bug that I've been encountering that keeps periodically kicking me back to the disclaimer screen at uncertain intervals. It's probably not Tor exclusive.

>>9629 The Tor daemon itself was behaving strangely in lynxchan, losing connections to the network and potentially contributing to the memory leak. I wanted it on to diagnose it but I didn't want people posting over it to not pollute the network data I was trying to look at. >>9630 I'll take a peek at this once the backend stuff is done. Let me know if you see it on the main domains, which domain, and make sure you've cleared cache and cookies.

>>9623 There's been cases in the past where they forgot to turn settings back on though. >>9627 >I think I've got the Tor daemon debugged finally, so Torposting is back on. Torbros let me know if you hit any weird issues with it. thanks faggot.

Minor update: The repeating splash page issue was caused by a time desync between two of the proxies and should now be fixed.

>>9640 There's a lot of testing and fixing going on in the background. Codexx is finally making some headway on the stack crashing bug, but every time he has to restart the server the frontends will throw 503s for about a minute.

>>9639 Raids are cancer but they are not a global concern until they truly become cancer, go ahead and talk about that issue with your board's local mod team

>>9643 I should probly add that to the compendium, since raids are one of those corner cases. Basically there's no rule against raids unless they get out of hand and start breaking one or more of the other rules, like excessive spam or "harm to the site" under GR4 that forces globals to get involved. Raids are old imageboard tradition, after all.
