>>1064594 Better report him anon so he can be censored, because God forbid we use the free speech website for free speech. OH NO SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING MEAN TO ME! PLEASE SOMEONE SAVE MY SAFE SPACE! trannys the lot of ya tbh.

>>1064598 Ironic because he reported me as Lucy where I got a three day ban until I appealed it. He's the same schizo nigger that can't identify shills and friendly fires up GG because anyone he disagrees with can only be from the Luciano/niggerpill/LCP triple faggot squad.

>>1064586 >>1064587 GR8 B8 M8 I R8 8/8

>>1064606 https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/globalRules.html There is no rule 8.

>>1064611 No, there isn't.

>>1064611 >>1064613 Maybe he meant Site Ruling #8 >>>/site/4680

>>1064662 Corner case ruling 8 is a modifier for global rule 4. If you are banned for that expect to see ban reason "GR4£8" Global Rule 4 is never a permanent ban.

>>1064745 You aren't literate lcp, no one cares that your confused.

>>1064747 you're*

8chan.se is dead. It's over.

>>1064749 I asked earlier, why has it been fugged for so long now?

Does Acid (and any of the other co-owners/admins) even care anymore? If one of the main domains that people got accustomed for a long time to using just dies without even an update or redirect, that's pretty much at least some users lost guaranteed. It's been way too long and this is getting ridiculous.

>>1064753 Honesty, I agree with you. It's quite frustrating.

So what's the problem with the Getting Old thread? Too negative by Mark's standards? Should we instead make a thread that promotes youth, or is that also not good? Mark, you will inevitably get old. Deal with it, or as the kids say nowadays, "cope".

>>1065052 As somebody who responded, it was just a shit thread and redundant when there are still several off-topic threads in the catalog to talk life in. The reason cuckchanners are being received negatively here is that they still post like on cuckchan where poorly thought out stream of consciousness OPs are acceptable because there is so much shit they disappear quickly. Here though, it just ends up creating a plague of empty five-reply threads that stick around taking up space where there could be more substantial conversations and content.

>>1065054 Well at least OP did put some effort and did reply, so he wasn't a (1) and done. Why not merge the thread with either the QTDDTOT or the Lounge thread?

>>1065054 I liked that anon's cultural archive idea & think it is worth a thread or project within Lounge.

>>1065052 It wasn't videogames for one. remind yourself that this board is about videogames.

>>1065061 It was vidya adjacent, just like the lounge thread.

>>1065066 Exactly. It was redundant.

>>1065066 so are friday night threads, should they be fused into the lounge too?

>>1065088 What kind of retarded question is that?

>>1065090 An honest and straightforward one connecting lines between threads that aren't genuinely and directly about video games, thus prompting the question of if they should actually be here.

>>1065097 >honest and straightforward No, its disingenuous. Not only have Friday Night threads been on 8/v/ since the beginning of prime, literally the first question of it is what anons are currently playing. Its one of the strongest proofs against the forced/fake meme that /v/ doesn't play video games, the overwhelming majority of anons in that thread are playing something, now fuck off.

>>1065101 So, as long as it mentions video games, any other possible concept of acceptable? You should have just edited the getting older thread OP with video game screenshots, it would have fit in perfectly then.

>>1065105 >So, as long as it mentions video games, any other possible concept of acceptable? What are you talking about fag? The Friday Night threads are already well-established and are distinguished from a random thread about getting old. If the fag who made the "getting old" thread actually put in more focus about vidya (the only thing it mentioned is if you'll still be playing vidya at all which is just a simple yes or no question, not about vidya in any specific capacity), my assumption is that it probably wouldn't have been touched. >you should have... I'm not mork or a hotpocket.

>>1065101 >>1065108 >strongest proofs against the forced/fake meme that /v/ doesn't play video games is saying you do >proofs I'm playing Marvel Rivals. Actually I'm not. I lied, anons lie often. Claims aren't "strongest proof" of anything. Proof some play are the stream and Onirism threads and other posts but it's not "forced/fake memes," pick a /v/ comment, the anon probably doesn't play video games much, but used to. >Friday Night threads are already well-established and are distinguished from a random thread about getting old Thread didn't belong.

>>1065090 >>1065101 >>1065108 You know, you just sound like a condescending prick.

>>1065122 Just scrolling the front page. Wanted to point out that this post is stupid, and would be stupid in absolutely any context. It is not a possible refutation of any argument ever made. The only time it would make sense is if the guy you were replying to was discussing his writing style or voice. But I checked, and that isn't what the discussion was about.

>>1065122 Go Home

>>1065052 At least move it to /vb/.

>>1065122 >Wanted to point out that this post is stupid, and would be stupid in absolutely any context. Wrong. >It is not a possible refutation of any argument ever made. It wasn't intended to be. He just sounds like a condescending prick. >The only time it would make sense is if the guy you were replying to was discussing his writing style or voice. His writing style is that of a condescending prick, yes. >But I checked, and that isn't what the discussion was about. My response wasn't about the discussion itself, it was about how his responses were worded. >>1065135 no u

>>1065271 Why was the fire emblem thread merged?

>>1065083 Except it wasn't overlapping with the lounge thread in any way other than being about video games adjacently. Which goes for a lot of the threads open right now.

>>1065272 >the fire emblem thread was merged with QTDDTOT Holy fucking shit what is going on with moderation lately?

>>1065278 Because fire emblem has some secret evil that even i don't know about. Especially the new ones.

>>1065272 Because it was a bad thread

>>1065282 If it was a bad thread you could have just deleted it. Merging it into a thread meant for small questions doesn't make any sense.

>>1065284 I prefer to merge the bad threads rather than to outright delete them.

>>1065286 Unless you get assaulted by THAT /b/tard who spams fire emblems threads with shitty photoshop edits, your fire emblem thread is not bad yet.

>>1065282 What made the thread bad? It was about a video game series, it proposed questions to discuss, and the OP wasn't overly long nor was it "toxic." The responses were on topic and anons were responding to each other. This is what threads should be, right? There are similar threads on the board that have not been merged. Do you have something against Fire Emblem then?

>>1065286 Which is a bad habit you've gotten into honestly, show no mercy to trash. So many "MODERN GAMES ARE BAD NOW" threads.

>>1065286 >>1065282 Uh, it's a fire emblem general thread. How the fuck is that not worthy of a thread on the video games board? And if you don't like the OP then edit it into something you like better, as you have done MANY times in the past. You're seriously crashing out big time recently, Mark.

>>1065292 >inb4 someone make dominions thread just as shitty and it'll stay

>>1065291 >Which is a bad habit you've gotten into honestly, show no mercy to trash. So many "MODERN GAMES ARE BAD NOW" threads. Agreed, that FE OP was one line literally asking people to shit on modern games. All these "fuck games" threads are trash to be taken out and to hell with his crybullies with some score to settle who grief him for it. Mark is merciful to a fault to faggots who deserve none who goatse their electronic assholes to shit absolutely everywhere. He should swiss their posts, pole their rainbow flags up their asses, and fuck their moms with his fat Jew cock.

>FE thread got merged Well there goes any discussion I guess.

>>1065301 Asking to discuss the Fire Emblem series is ragebaiting, I guess

>>1065304 >Asking to discuss the Fire Emblem series is ragebaiting, I guess

>>1065304 The Fire Emblem franchise as a whole is a pack of ragebait.

how many fire emblem threads are you fags going to make

>>1065335 >literally only 1 in the catalog Wew

>>1065347 That's obviously not true judging by >>1061748 and >>1061372. Some threads are removed because there are just so many of these and they're largely the same.

>>1065346 I feel like there was one made yesterday and then 2 in the same hour when I posted that.

>>1065322 Its literally generic fantasy SRPG that is only known for being a nintendo exclusive.

>>1065374 Isn't most of the series still in Japanese exclusively? Or has everything finally been translated unofficially by the fans?

>>1065376 They've all been translated by fans or officially for years now. You are correct that a lot of the games have only ever officially been released on the Famicom or Super Famicom or Gameboy in Japan. After the Gameboy era, FE games have seen global releases.

>>1065354 Yeah you're remembering correctly. There was one made yesterday that was merged with QTDDTOT, then another made today, then that one seemed to be deleted in favor of the one currently in the catalog. This whole moderation debacle probably killed all chance of discussion though. Especially since the OP of the thread really has nothing of substance to it.

>>1065300 >Agreed, that FE OP was one line literally asking people to shit on modern games. All these "fuck games" threads are trash to be taken out and to hell with his crybullies with some score to settle who grief him for it. The new Fire Emblem thread looks long and informative, so things worked out.

>>1065387 >>1065398 I wonder if it's a preemptive kind of thing, I have a feeling that we're going to see loli become largely illegal once governments start passing more laws about making generative AI creations illegal, I think even hand drawn art and just various depictions of things that governments and powerful groups don't like are going to get swept up in the fire storm that AI creates. Ironically enough I also think AI systems will be used to police and control what kind of content is allowed to be made/stored on everybody's computers. I could see all of the big tech companies pushing censorship even at the hardware level. Once the government helps them go through with the regulatory capture bullshit. (And Don't pretend Linux is immune to that, with the amount of hypocritical furries and trannies involved in all things software)

>>1065404 >(And Don't pretend Linux is immune to that, with the amount of hypocritical furries and trannies involved in all things software) It's much worse than that. They'll have to make free and open-source software illegal altogether because it would allow people to remove their AI checks from source.

>>1065412 I don't think they would have to do that, they'll just make the act of circumventing the AI illegal, just like they've made any act to subvert copy protection illegal in most places

>>1065413 But that hasn't stopped piracy, so it also wouldn't stop people from making (illegal) forks of software with the AI checks removed. But if you make FOSS illegal altogether, that would be exponentially more effective.

>>1065415 Piracy has been largely defeated, at least anything with encryption like denouveau. Not to mention just making products easy to find the streaming and download services. The impact of piracy is largely overblown and kept around as a boogeyman so incompetent people have something to blame for bad sales. You don't hear about it very often but there are still tons of raids and legal action against piracy all the time. The amount of people that pirate products is a drop in the bucket to the amount of people that either purchase things or just don't bother. They won't need to affect Foss software standards if the lockdowns an artificial intelligence are implemented at the hardware level. (Some anti-piracy protections are also implemented at the hardware level, most graphics chips have some form of video copying protection) as governments and corporations work together to train AI systems, it won't even matter eventually if you have a system that doesn't have any type of artificial intelligence, as you will either be locked out of the artificially controlled internet or the internet itself will be patrolled by AI agents that take down any kind of material that has been censored. It's very sad to me that a new world of prosperity will be opened by artificial intelligence but also a new world of complete and unstoppable censorship is also most likely. Law enforcement departments that have access to artificial intelligence always seem to report extremely high increases in efficiency, so nobody's going to have to pay police to sit around at their desk looking for naughty tweets an MP3s, always on ever more efficient AI agents will be doing that for them 24/7

>>1065387 At least it isn't infested with cuckchanners :^}

>>1065418 >They won't need to affect Foss software standards if the lockdowns an artificial intelligence are implemented at the hardware level. (Some anti-piracy protections are also implemented at the hardware level, most graphics chips have some form of video copying protection) as governments and corporations work together to train AI systems, it won't even matter eventually if you have a system that doesn't have any type of artificial intelligence, as you will either be locked out of the artificially controlled internet or the internet itself will be patrolled by AI agents that take down any kind of material that has been censored. That's true. Such a sad fate.

>>1065425 I heard Denuvo was cracked, did anything come of it? Are games with Denuvo being pirated now?

<<1065425 >when you follow chain of the schizophrenic paranoid topic talking about ai software >its about Loli being banned on zzzchan Nigger pill, nigger pill...

>>1065427 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? >>1065180 >Weird. Square almost always uses denuvo at least for a period after a game's release. Is this because of that thing I heard about with denuvo being supposedly cracked?

>>1065432 You're retarded.

>>1065433 Did it have Denuvo though? Because that's just the same question.

>>1065415 Social consciousness about sexual images isn't equal to sharing of circumvented software on the internet. All you had to do is to stop masturbating CJ. >>1065436 You're unaware that using piracy as an example of persecution in the light of some board self banning anime is outstandingly incomparable. But if shit goes wrong just fill your AI powered linux with tons of emulators, browsers and torrent clients, it'l have to get used to a different kind of user. I mean those linux cunts are even more funny, many of them have TOR clients inbuilt, and that shit is, like, for buying cocaine and black market guns, not to mention real cp. Used to call them "torpedo" back in the day when ids for tor users weren't counted.

>>1065387 based but also lefty-coded so sus >>1065438 funny that i2p never got that reputation

>>1065437 You have the name, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Look it up, I'm not your spoonfeeder.

>>1065438 >All you had to do is to stop masturbating >>>/cuckchan/ >Tor is bad >>>/reddit/

Don't do bitcoin kids, that's DRUG MONEY. Be a dollarcuck like a good slave!

>>1065427 Only person I ever heard of that could crack that kind of encryption was empress, and they only do it for money. So if anybody wanted a game cracked they would have to put up a bounty with empress. And if they wanted updates or DLC they would have to do the same thing. Empress also has a reputation for hating weeb games, so they never bothered with persona 5 Royal or anything with a similar art style. Outside of empress releases I have never heard of a denuvo game being cracked.

>>1065447 Birdflucoin killed GPU prices and committed an unforgivable crime of multiplying the jew like cockroach. Philippines is suffering.

>>1065438 Anything that stops consumers from doing what they want with items that they paid for and own is anti-consumer should be always loved in with the Foss and right to repair movements. Antipiracy and anti-pornography propaganda have always been used as backdoors for extreme authoritarian control.

>>1065457 I think it took a year or two for fitgirls to do some game and by then it was out on pc, yeah.

>>1065387 Why is this thread still up then? What pictures did you actually post?

>>1065457 Not Empress, there was news Denuvo was recently broken. I'll find it.

>>1065457 This. https://archive.fo/dEZNi Did anything come of this where games with Denuvo are being pirated now?

>>1065471 I confirmed with Sturgeon that loli is NOT banned on zzzchan. Since I got permission here's part of the full quote from Sturgeon >Loli isn't banned we've just got one spastic trying to start dedicated threads on /b/ using really extreme shit.

>>1065472 >>1065474 That's a very interesting article, but I'm sure most of the cracking community already had access to most of this information for years, as the article even mentioned it seems that most of the community is either too lazy or to incompetent to bother with cracking denuvo. That's why empress pulls a joker and demands a bounty for doing the work. The only other times you see this happen is if somebody is doing it for the challenge, or there was a mistake and somebody left one of the files unprotected (as is the case with lies of p from what I remember)

cake kike, can you migrate the FE posts from QTTDOT to the thread?

>>1065493 It's from his personal notes and correspondence with other reverse engineers, lots of which he says he hasn't seen shared publicly before.

>>1065515 >lots of which he says he hasn't seen shared publicly before. Doesn't matter he or anyone else hasn't shared anything "publicly" I can guarantee you most of this information if not all of it has already been figured out a long time ago, (remember the research isn't just his own, people have been at this for years)

>>1065404 The deliberate incorporation of AI technologies into the upcoming lines of gpu's being produced is certainly going to be tied to some form of mass surveillance. Soon enough gpus will have some kind of restriction to only function when connected to the Internet or they'll just sneak some form of sophisticated wifi device directly into the hardware that phones home regardless of your setup, only requiring power. Just imagine censorship built in directly at the source able to destroy/alter/obscure things in real-time while the footage is captured and reported the nanosecond after it happens before you've even physically seen a single thing.

>>1065519 They'd need one of those fancy optoelectronic FPGAs with moving mirror arrays for real-time AI censorship to be practical, and shutting off a GPU without a valid Internet connection is a recipe for disaster even (((they))) wouldn't seriously attempt until some kind of superluminal Einstein-Rosen bridge method of wireless communication with 99.9999% reliability and total immunity to conventional radio interference is developed. Also linking all these AIs together is just asking for a technological singularity that I expect won't go according to (((their))) master plan, plus if AI can be used to write code then it might as well be used to develop "malware" against AI. >tfw datakrash happens after ZOG finds and kills the last unregistered unlicensed open-source programmer in his Alaskan cottage porting obscure Wonderswan games to TempleOS using his own hand-written debugger+recompiler, which upon inserted into ChatGPT for analysis causes a cascading spergfalt that crashes every AI-powered server on the planet including all the management engines found in desktops, phones, IoT, safety-critical embedded systems etc. leading to global anarchy within hours of the first prompt because less than 0.01% of the global populace knows how to read and those that do have no idea how to use one of those command line interfaces from the N*zi stone ages

>>1065915 Sounds like the perfect time to require proton drm to be active and connected to give you access to things like ai and crypto mining on the gpu. Remember when they released a new driver for the 3060 or so that gimped crypto performance?

>>1065919 You mean Pluton, Proton is Valves modified version of Wine

>>1066553 >>1066570 There are other famous gaming factoids that are complete misinformation. Miyamoto never said "a delayed game is eventually good", though I think it's more common knowledge now that's a misattributed quote. The legendary Gandhi bug in Civilization, the buffer underflow error that made him very aggressive with nukes? Doesn't exist, that's not even how the game works. When a nation has nukes, their statements come with "Our words are backed with nuclear weapons" warning. India is programmed to research science so they'll discover nuclear weapons earlier than other civs. The whole myth came from a TV Tropes entry nobody fact-checked.

Anyone know what's going on with the fight game thread? For some reason, the site is eating posts made in it.

>>1066922 Fuck I hope not. I don't want to have to move again and we lose people every time. I'm pretty sure Acid/Codexx have some server upgrade plans in the near future but I hope they get them together before we have a critical outage. Especially since we really don't have a good bunker.

Man, asking for features or even reporting bugs on this site is just so unbelievably tiresome. All you get is complete radio silence in response. It's even worse when "the guy" pops up only to drop an avatar and proceeds to ignore several weeks worth of posts. Apparently it was not always like this and there was a time when they were actually approachable.

>>1067166 Usually they are pretty on top of things. Someone needs to go poke Mark and see if he can figure out what is going on.

>>1067166 Lynxchan development is functionally dead and has been for years. Unless you're going to develop the features yourself there's no point in talking about them. The site is on maintenance mode from the perspective of the admin's.

>>1067323 Which is practically useless since it doesn't work on a board by board basis. Acid has his autism fixation projects meanwhile the front-end shit that is actually a problem will not see any development.

Did I get a post replying to >>1067166 get deleted or did I just forget to hit Reply? Was there a spam attack or something?

Serious question: Is the imageboard format outdated now? (Both centralized and decentralized variants) It feels like the structure is unsustainable in the long-run and nobody seems to want to use them much anymore. Just a thought is all, I wonder what anonymous online places of discussion will look like in the future if someone ever figures out a better way of doing things. Maybe it will be some VR world shit managed by an AI or something, who knows.

>>1067491 It's outdated in the sense that it's neither a forum nor BBS nor chatroom but is used as all 3 and still retains functionality when usercounts scale up. The future of anonymity is probably platforms where you're able to spin up aliases at will but are tossed in low-effort purgatory for a week or two to filter spam attacks, but notably still encourage having multiple accounts. Actual anonymity isn't real unless you're on tor or i2p or something anyway. As for the future, I'd say either a monolithic do-everything protocol like retroshare would be it, or alternatively like how windows 11 has notifications but the programs are fully functional in that feed instead of opening the program, and have multiple notification feeds based on the source you choose. Basically better rss feeds really.

Another thing is imageboards also lost normal people and mostly have underageb& and marginalized groups as social media and the idea of curating who you interact with rose. I'd guess the subconscious reasons would be "I have enough people to talk to" or "I can't make friends here," or of course "I can't make money off my hobby here." As more people got access to the internet, users had less in common, to the point people don't even understand each other in real life now. I could probably go on and on but it starts to become a very broad topic, just wanted to say the software suits the people.

>>1067497 >marginalized groups <Using Commie speak GET THE FUCK OUT!

>>1067497 < marginalized groups Did you just call me a nigger?

>>1067491 It's pretty easy to understand why imageboards are outdated if you think about it for more than 5 seconds, normalfags are so simple to predict it's boring, so I'll leave this as an exercise to the reader. To modernize it into something digestible for new people while keeping the main spirit, I'd say you only have 3 main objectives here: 1) Anonimity is required, no accounts, no history associated to a post, nothing, ever 2) Must be able to spout ideas and combine images freely. These two are enough to keep the spirit of imageboards intact so long as the culture comes along with it, but to get new people, you need your successor to: 3) Be low effort, needs to engage the user's dopamine in more ways than having them post shit and getting replies. With that in mind, there's already a website that almost matches all 3 of those, the only thing you'd need to change is enforcing anonimity more and removing all post history from everyone. Twitter. Basically you need a twitter with no post history that has users spout their bullshit into the nothingness, get them to have likes on that post alone, and allow people to search through topics as they come and go so they ingest as much bullshit as they can, quickly interacting with bullshit information that they see from topics that they like while keeping their interactions fully anonymous. That's it. It's a logistical nightmare for a bunch reasons I won't get into here, but you'll find them if you think about it. It's unfortunate, but normalfags are disgusting dopamine deprived creatures that need every little interaction that they have on the internet to have a bunch of likes, upboats or thumbs up. If you can get people on board to do that but anonymously, which I find unlikely because normalfags love the attention, you can maybe get a weird sort of post-imageboard website, but until then, good luck.

>>1067498 >>1067500 As the middle gets scooped out, you get left with the margins. Say it ain't so, nobody wants normalfags here. Everyone has their own reasons why they don't stop posting here in lieu of social media, group chats, or real life meetups. The language used is just coincidental.

>>1067491 >Just a thought is all, I wonder what anonymous online places of discussion will look like in the future if someone ever figures out a better way of doing things. I am afraid the future will be either Discord or some other application like Discord but that don't require an email to post.

>>1067503 >The language used is just coincidental. No, it's not. Fuck off, Commie.

>>1067550 You're a nigger, Harry!

>>1067491 >Is the imageboard format outdated now? No. The implication of this is that an imageboard needs some insane degree of traffic to thrive. It doesn't. This site would thrive with a tiny fraction of cuckhan's overall site traffic. Fringe imageboards aren't competing for billions of users. They're competing for the attention of a few hundred effort posters. The only reason this place is dead is because people don't know it exists.

>>1067491 the imageboard format and their type anonymity is outdated, because of how modern technology has allowed any third world retards with a cellphone to now access the internet, just look all the shit HiroJEWKIKE has to do in cuckchan to stop the spam and the pajeets/shitworlders bots in boards like /biz/, he has to make email registration obligatory to even post, and in the rest of the site, either you register with an email or wait 15 minutes when you post the first time (and never delete the site cookies). IB anonymity allows the worse kind of psychopaths to keep posting for years because their security methods are not restrictive enough, in places like forums if someone like for example niggerpill existed he would be shadow banned or ban and forced to make an account with a new IP and a new permanent email and to make that new email he has to give a new cellphone number. this security method would deterrent that kind of undesirable posters, bots and pay shills, is not flawless but is a good deterrent. btw every security measured I just said, I fucking hate it, I fucking hate how anonymity has slowly been disappearing from the internet and I dread the day every site on the internet would force people to use a government ID just to register.

>>1067589 Email isn't required to post on cuckchan. He just set a 15 minute cookie bypass instead of using a PoW bypass. You can skip the timer by using an email. /v/ could pretty easily mitigate niggerpill and all known bad actors if Acid gave BO's access to his PoW bypass system on a per board basis. You could just toggle it on every time they show up and they'd be completely fucked. Everyone that already has a bypass would post perfectly fine as they last for like 48 hours if I recall correctly. But as it turns out, Acid is very retarded.

>>1067591 You would also have to give every BO access to the bypass nuke switch because of bad actors hoarding bypasses on vms.

>>1067592 Neither of the two bad actors the board faces on a routine basis are competent enough to actually know how to retain multiple bypass cookies in advance.

>>1067589 What about having to pay/mine .05 monero for a bypass :^)

>>1067593 I remember raids where bad actors did, though. One of the site admins said so.

>>1067591 >/v/ could pretty easily mitigate niggerpill and all known bad actors if Acid gave BO's access to his PoW bypass system on a per board basis. You could just toggle it on every time they show up and they'd be completely fucked. Everyone that already has a bypass would post perfectly fine as they last for like 48 hours if I recall correctly. The way I see it, each bypass needs an activation timestamp. You get a timestamp the moment you get your first bypass. That way, BO can disable posting from recent timestamps on a per board basis. And raids and spam attacks can be prevented. I don't believe this is hard to implement or creates additional server load, but Acid & Codexx have been rather unresponsive as of late. I wish they explored this solution and gave it a try, because user boards need it. Badly.

>>1067608 I think the guy making lynxchan said to fuck off with features like that and it's difficult to develop if it's not in your toolbelt.

>>1067608 I don't like the bypass system because I don't like saving cookies. My browser deletes fucking everything every time it closes.

>>1067623 That's the only compromise that exists for spam mitigation. I also constantly delete cookies. The chances that you need to generate a bypass at the same time it's disabled or PoW bypass is turned on are small, and as long as it's enabled for a sensible length of time it would hardly impact normal users, even those that constantly deleted their cookies.

>>1067628 Well if I try to go on the site during a time when the system is on, then I can't post. But sure, I do understand the the point about it helping to mitigate spam, and it's not that bad if used for sensible lengths of time. I just wanted to mention the downside. The thing about letting BOs use the system does make sense.

>>1067632 >Well if I try to go on the site during a time when the system is on, then I can't post. I mean it also depends on how configurable a hypothetical bypass system is. You can scale the difficulty of PoW bypass so that anyone can still post, they just need to wait longer or have a stronger CPU. Or you can block it entirely. The more control a BO has over the system the more likely a competent BO would be at minimizing the downsides. And at the very least you could simply use a different board instead of being locked out of the entire site because someone decided to sperg out in the shitty /v/ watercooler thread.

Who the fuck is "GCtard"? Mark banned me with that as the reason.

>>1068500 Guy who goes on about everything should be optimized for the ps2 or gamecube.

>>1068500 >>1068504 As much as GCtard is a moron who doesn't know shit about video game graphics, he unfortunately is joined by a growing backlash among consumers against diversity hire devs who are complete fucking garbage at scaling their games with computing power, who expect you to turn on framegen and upscaling for muh gaytracing instead of examining whether or not they're paying attention to the product they're making. It's a huge hot topic at the moment, enough that two non-retard OPs currently occupy the catalog on it. Even (((Vavra))) of Kingdumb Cum Defecation is hopping on the bandwagon to diss CDPR. What's surprising is that these devs, especially Unreal suckups, get unusually incensed at being called out.

>>1068500 Its the new boogeyman, and as such anyone who even remotely resembles him in the slightest way will get shoah'd. You probably italicized or bolded a word or something.

>>1068506 >What's surprising is that these devs, especially Unreal suckups, get unusually incensed at being called out. It's because they want their payout and think labor has value as marx's theory of labor value states. Ignoring that socialists just guess at what something is worth when there is meddling in the economy, this means they unironically think an unoptimized game is worth the same as a polished old one, possibly more since old games can be found for $5 and remakes get sold for $60. It leads to feeling entitlement to be paid for their labor rather than focusing on what their product delivers, once again ignoring that their higher-ups already paid them for their labor before release for following said higher-ups instructions.

>>1068500 >Who the fuck is "GCtard"? That would be me. >>1068504 Again, not my argument. The "point" I try to make is that these past games were able to do so much more with far less power, primarily from pulling up examples on the PSP, Dreamcast, even the fucking PS1 as times. As far as optimizing modern games for "past systems", what I "want" is the bare fucking minimum of developers making games for the Wii U and the Vita again, possibly the 360 and PS3 as well, since they're not really doing anything with all this "extra power" on modern systems aside just making the graphics "shinier".

I feel like posting has been down recently. I think they need to get .se back up and running asap.

>>1068722 Mark mistook me for GC, it's cleared up now don't worry. I won't repost any of it because after thinking about it, I don't really want to get into emudev drama. People should judge RetroArch on its merits, not their awful project lead.

Attention Mark and other globals In this new wave of CP spam the spam bot is now posting in existing threads instead of making new ones so you're going to have to be extra vigilant especially since in the case of bump locked threads they won't appear on the overboard at all.

>>1069464 Sounds like someone who is angry and petty about people not accepting his arguments and offering decent counter-points.

>>1069465 I'm not the OP you sperg, just someone who doesn't think faggots like you should be middle managing the actual community like some Karen cunt. >Sounds like someone who is And you sound like GC tard who showed up there half an hour ago and tries to boss the fucking vols around to sperg. His thread his right nigger, go fuck yourself.

>>1069459 Done

>>1069470 Nigga, you're making a fool of yourself. You're really outing yourself. We don't need to argue about it. The thread is back up and the posts beginning with your spergout are gone. But everyone who was in the threads, and the mods involved, can see what you're doing.

>>1069464 >8chan lets people Yes and no. The ability to delete your own posts is generally enabled for people to delete individual posts within threads typically due to mistakes. It's not designed or intended to be used to erase entire threads because you want to act like a pseudo board owner and got mad or wanted to fuck with people. Deleting posts != deleting threads. If Mark had the option he would likely disable the deletion of threads from a users permissions, therefore restoring threads is perfectly consistent with the boards culture and the "rights" of the BO.

>>1069495 Actually I do have that option.

>>1069512 Does that differentiate between thread deletion and post deletion? Because that's what I was talking about.

>>1069447 The announcement will stay until he stops being dead.

Sup faggots been years since I posted here, probably since 2017 Is Mark the jew still heading this site? Does he still beef with Jim and Codemonkey? Any fuckhuge events in the last 5 years? QRD

>>1069859 The fuck is this? lmao Mark never headed any site except vch (iirc). He still owns /v/ if that's what you mean. Jim and Chodemonkey haven't been relevant since the 8kunt exodus. In terms of "fuckhuge" events, that's very subjective as the board is much, much smaller than OG 8chan ever was. QRD: Everything went to shit in 2019, the entire site died for a year while people survived on scattered imageboard websites connected through a webring. It came back rebranded as 8kun but completely broken as a website with no signs of being fixed, then Jim banned lolis sitewide and everyone fucked off as people realized he only cared about the qboomers he could exploit. Eventually, old 8chan boards ended up making their homes on various websites and bunkers, often the sites they survived on being owned by BOs of boards on 8chan prime. Now the user levels are a fraction of what they used to be on prime ever since the original website died, that plus the 8kunt fiasco basically cemented all webring sites to a subsistence existence and nothing was ever quite the same.

>>1069865 I see, I thought Mark owned this site not just /v/ this whole time. And I knew about 8kunt but never posted there. Banning lolis is retarded. Sad about the activity level round these parts. 4ch/v/ seems as active as ever but people hate the mods..perhaps the word needs to get out about this place again. Could get a couple hundred more posts per day. Anyway thanks for the QRD, seems a lot has changed.

>>1069447 Lynched!!

>>1069859 >Is Mark the jew still heading this site? He's the BO of /v/, and for whatever reason him and Acid are playing this weird game where Mark owns the domain but has no control or direct influence over the actual site. Though I'm not sure if that's still the case since there's like 12 domains for this place. >Does he still beef with Jim and Codemonkey? He got fired from their shitty reboot site because they banned loli hentai. Then him and Acidman started this site from scratch. >Any fuckhuge events in the last 5 years? Too many to count. But in the last 2-3 it's been mostly boring and the site has become increasingly slower by the month.

>>1069998 >owns the domain Stopped reading there.

>>1070006 I could be wrong, but I recall Mark owned some 8chan related domain at some point. So either I'm retarded or you're retarded. Mark can confirm which one of us is utterly blown the fuck out and a big stupid idiot.

What happened to the Sega thread? The last dozen or so posts were deleted.

>>1070069 GCtard related shit probably.

>>1070505 Don't care.

>>1070505 I didn't know they had cuckchan in the 17th century

>>1070507 I didn't say not to use the word bro. Try reading my post again.

>>1070507 "Bro" is less cuckchan terminology as much as it is twitter/niggerspeak. People misuse it so much and often in a condescending manner. But with that said, I have definitely seen screencaps of its use on modern 4chan. It's rather gross either way. I won't say to ban the use of it entirely like the faggot niggers on smug/a/ would, but I think anons should be discouraged from using it flagrantly.

>>1070509 The criticism isn't the general use of the word bro. It's the formulaic use of it by ending a sentence with "bros". >it's so over bros >how can we ever recover bros >what are we going to do bros This is a highly specific usage of the word typically associated with the same kind of retards that spam soyjaks.

Hey anons, some of you asked for multiline spoilers in the past because the default spoiler tag breaks when you use it on multiple lines. I created a simple piece of JavaScript that fixes this. It also adds the tags [b], [i], [u] and [s], which I believe make more sense than the clunky Lynxchan tags. Some imageboard software also has these. As a bonus, the last six lines enable sending posts by pressing Ctrl+Enter, which is very neat. You activate the code by clicking on the Settings wheel in the top left corner and pasting it in the JS tab. The code is totally safe, it's just regex. function T(str, a, b, c, d) { const r = new RegExp(a+"([^]*?)"+b, "g"); return str.replace(r, function(m, g){ return g.split("\n").map(x=>x===""?"":c+x+d).join("\n") }) } function L() { let s = document.getElementById("fieldMessage").value; s = T(s, "\\[b\\]", "\\[\\/b\\]", "\'\'\'", "\'\'\'"); s = T(s, "\\[i\\]", "\\[\\/i\\]", "\'\'", "\'\'"); s = T(s, "\\[u\\]", "\\[\\/u\\]", "__", "__"); s = T(s, "\\[s\\]", "\\[\\/s\\]", "~~", "~~"); s = T(s, "\\[spoiler\\]", "\\[\\/spoiler\\]", "[spoiler]", "[/spoiler]"); document.getElementById("fieldMessage").value = s; } document.getElementById("formButton").addEventListener("click", L); document.getElementById("qrbutton").addEventListener("click", L); document.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) { if (e.keyCode == 13 && e.ctrlKey && e.target.tagName.toLowerCase() === "textarea") { e.preventDefault(); document.getElementById("formButton").click(); } }); I kinda wish something like this was done server-side, and I certainly would add it if I were an admin because the board is already in JS, but alas. Keep in mind that in Private Mode or when using Tor your browser's JavaScript storage is cleared the moment you close the tab.

Just from piecing things together my theory is that it's someone that just wants the GG thread gone from /v/ and moved to /temp filter due to raid/ and he's going at it from both ends trying to force it to happen.

Hello everyone, There's been over 600 spam posts and we're shooting first and asking questions later. Please don't mention the spam as we're constantly monitoring the situation and are as active as we can be. Please don't acknowledge the situation further.

>>1072157 nice, hope they add it as well

>>1072157 Ctrl+Enter to post sounds like a nice quality of life improvement. I don't mind the current text decoration tags except the longer ones like moetext, doomtext or the code tags. Spoilers can be done with double asterisks which is far quicker than that other method that I believe cuckchan uses. moetext doesn't work anyway since the sparkles often wind up sliding to elsewhere on the page. https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/posting.html Everything that can be done with three characters or less on each side of the text is fine by me, but anything that needs more than three characters on each side of your text should have smaller / quicker tags IMO. I looked at your code & got a vague idea of how to add to it so I added doom, moe, code & aa tags. The site refuses to let me post the JavaScript that you just posted with my modifications so here's a pastebin, I guess: https://pastebin.com/XppCmNgb Not sure why you get to post JS, but the site won't let me do it. Maybe because of my VPN or something. Hell if I know.

>>1077907 I forgot backslashes are not displaying correctly with the font on my Notepad++ so they're all yen signs ¥¥¥ in that screencap lol.

>>1077907 >>1077913 Couldn't you past the code on a TXT file & upload it?

>>1077964 Here's a try. First option can be copy-pasted into the JS section of the Settings ⚙ at the top of the page while the second version can be installed (copy-pasted, probably) into a userJS browser extension like Violentmonkey or whatever other monkey you might have. The second option would be more permanent if you clear your browser's history stuff, because if the script is inside a browser extension it won't be lost when you clear stuff.

>>1077971 The yen signs are still there but it seems like I get them myself even trying to copy & paste the backslash itself. Could either be the font chosen or something else. \

>>1077977 If I change font in Notepad++ to DejaVu Sans Mono the backslashes display as backslashes. If I open those uploaded text files in the browser they are backslashes. I think it's just a font thing. They're still backslashes regardless of how they were displayed by the font.

Whoever merged the "Blinded by Nostalgia" thread to the QTDDTOT is an absolute fucking retard The thread had more posts than a quarter of the threads in the board and it had actual engaging conversations, now it's drowned in a see of one and done posts

Which braindead mod moved the perfectly reasonable and somewhat active "Blinded by Nostalgia" thread into the QTDDTOT?

>>1079534 I concur 10000% There is absolutely zero reason why the discussion did not deserve to have its own thread Mark, Dog, whoever the fuck is still active, undo that shit now.

>>1079534 >>1079539 When there isn't much for hotpockets to do, they just fuck things up for the hell of it I guess.

>>1079533 >>1079534 >>1079539 >(1)

>>1079543 We are both >(2)s. Now what?

>>1079545 I was a >(20) before my router shit itself again recently.

>>1079551 >no VPN or even just dynamic IPs You should be ashamed of yourself

>>1079543 Why should anyone be expected to have a post history in the meta thread? Especially when VPNs are so common, and this website has been known to cycle IDs even when a user hasn't switched VPNs?

>>1079570 And also you know, Mark's known proclivity to delete any post that disagrees with him, or mocks him, or ignores him, or. Basically you can and will be deleted at any time, sometimes your entire post history. Meaning the only way to maintain a steady post history here is to either be Mark, Acid, or a vol.

>>1079539 You cannot undo a merge. So. It's dead jim. Sorry.

>>1079572 So Mark or whoever deleted the thread should recreate each post by hand.

>>1079576 Yeah they aren't going to do that, you aren't going to do that, no one is going to do that. Again I'm sorry bro. But it's dead.

>>1079570 >Especially when VPNs are so common, and this website has been known to cycle IDs even when a user hasn't switched VPNs? Let me chip in on this one. This is a real issue and I've been thinking about it myself. Another issue is so called "ID hopping" which often causes board drama, but may be a consequence of using dynamic IPs. I'm thinking about asking Codexx or Acid about implementing bypass-based IDs, just like they already did for Tor users. This means, whether you're using a dynamic IP or a shared VPN with someone else, you're still going to get a single individual ID. If the idea seems great and more anons want it, it will be easier to ask them for it, because Codexx and Acid are not particularly active these days. I'm still hoping we'll hear from them.

>>1079598 Yeah, or go a step further and implement accounts, and we can all be namefags and... No anon, thats stupid, almost as stupid as /v/ users and "ip hopping". You are unintelligent, in a culture of morons. That is the issue.

>>1079603 Nothing to do with accounts, though.

>>1079603 >almost as stupid as /v/ users <Is himself a /v/ user

>>1079606 Yeah and then we can add upvotes to posts and your account can get karma too. Fuck off to reddit, you don't understand the very philosophy of the website you are using. >>1079612 Yeah I was just posting shota to GG and reporting this guy as luciano for daring to argue with me instead of immediately sucking my dick, how'd you know?

>>1079571 >Meaning the only way to maintain a steady post history here is to either be Mark, Acid, or a vol. You could also just IP hop every single post, so only a tiny fraction of anything you say that might upset someone gets deleted and bans are rendered meaningless.

>>1079615 >Intimate enough knowledge of the goober thread to accurately mock it Sounds like a terminal case of being a /v/ user.

>>1079615 >Yeah and then we can add upvotes to posts Some slav imageboards have that

>>1079616 Yeah, which is what these faggots are whining about. Like I said to begin with, morons. >>1079619 Hey everybody this guys now my boogeyman, he always responds with greentext so I call him greentextanon or GTA: vice city for short, anyways remember to ignore and report GTA: san andreas whenever you see him cuz your my personal army of morons thx. >>1079622 How horrifying. Yeah let's not copy that. Sir we use only the finest of brazillian code here, made by transexual huemonkey prostitutes, not slavic rusnigger code. Have some dignity sir.

>>1079598 >This means, whether you're using a dynamic IP or a shared VPN with someone else, you're still going to get a single individual ID Let me elaborate on my own post: I mean thread-level IDs, of course. Ones that change from thread to thread, nothing to do with accounts. The measure will, in my strong opinion, reduce IP hopping paranoia, especially when IP hopping is unintentional, and solve the problem of recycled IDs by VPN users.

>>1079623 Why does it seem like we have more people posting here out of spite than actual affection or enjoyment?

>>1079628 That wont solve the paranoia issue here, its a psychological and cultural issue, not technical. Your proposing a software solution to a hardware problem.

>>1079636 >we Because you're in the meta thread instead of talking about videogames?

>>1079598 ID's probably should work off of cookies because IP's are stupid, but with that said it shouldn't make a difference. The real problem is the culture of people caring about ID's, and that culture only exists in a very limited sense inside of the meta and GG threads which exist in an independent bubble of cancer. Outside of retarded circlejerk threads ID's are just a convenient way to keep track of a conversation. If an ID changes and someone is having a normal conversation about video games there is hardly a point in even acknowledging it or explaining it. You can just continue the conversation as a (1) and people with basic reading comprehension can keep up perfectly fine. You're applying your weird GG specific memes where people shit up the thread calling people (1)'s sarcastically and thinking it's some sort of real issue. Any discussion that can be derailed by someone's ID resetting is a discussion that is inherently low quality and likely off-topic to begin with. >>1079615 >Fuck off to reddit, you don't understand the very philosophy of the website you are using. There is zero difference between tying ID's to a bypass cookie and tying them to an IP address. You're fucking retarded. In fact the bypass cookie is even more anonymous because it's significantly easier to delete a cookie than it is to change your IP. Somehow Mark has a better grasp on this than you do, and he's an adult man in his thirties with a severe learning disability living in a facility for the mentally challenged.

>>1079647 Trying to create better user tracking tools, instead of just growing the fuck up, is not an example of Mark being intelligent, efficient, or even a competent HUMAN, but sure whatever keep trying to find a technical fix for a psychological issue. Idiot.

>>1079598 >This is a real issue No, it's not. IP hopping is only an "issue" because for the retards who cannot hold an argument and accuse everyone that's piling on them asbeing the "same person" who's "IP hopping". The problem is that, over the past several months, you've had a bunch of thin-skinned rapefugees who are upset that they're getting their shit kicked in and want the people that disagree with them to be banned on sight.

>>1079598 Or, better idea, just get rid of IDs, they're fucking useless. Engage with posts or don't, we don't need any form of identity whatsoever.

>>1079577 Get fucked, faggot. I'm remaking it myself.

>>1079680 Based mod.

>>1079673 IDs were always more of a /pol/ meme anyway, that culture just ending up latching onto gaymergay and meta threads because it's supposedly useful for identifying """bad actors""" during super important findings or muh diggs or some stupid shit. They really serve no purpose here on /v/ and never did, it's just to placate cloistered, paranoid circle jerk behavior. I would honestly like to see how much the posting quality would actually improve once they're finally done away with.

All talk of getting rid of IDs is gayops by bad actors wishing to more easily blend, and should be deleted on sight. :^)

>>1079751 Plus the irony is that Ids actually distract from gaining true pattern recognition because you can easily identify anons just from their repeated idiosyncrasies. Autistic people just like obsessing over numbers.

>>1079751 True. And crying (1) at everything is retarded too. It's meaningless when IDs change multiple times within the same thread. >>1079754 True that people should stop fixating on IDs, but I don't think anyone knows who the hell they're looking at unless they out themselves very obviously. Anons often get b& from sounding vaguely negative if some banned-on-sight retard happens to be sperging within the same hour.

>>1079650 >user tracking is when you give you users the ability to be more anonymous The fact you think my point was that Mark is intelligent, and not that you're even more retarded than him as a bottom of the barrel dumbfuck is hilarious.

Any hopse the.se domain is back?

After reading this made me think we should always keep IDs.

>>1079823 Its frustrating when basic yet important problems like this haven't been addressed yet.

>>1079826 Yes, good g- I mean anons, keep themselves identifiable.

>>1079826 >>1079843 As someone who has seen people on cuckchan discuss the ID problem at length, take it from me when I say that we're better off with IDs than without them. Take away IDs and you'll still have people pointing to the UID's number at the bottom of the page going schizo mode saying >LOOK! the UID number hasn't changed... we must be getting samefag'd! Plus people replying to thousands of posts saying "all me" or "samefag" or some such cancerous insinuation. At least with IDs staying, you can wave away any accusations of samefagging by claiming someone is just using different VPNs, and that's only in the few cases where IDs do NOT work. Usually they do work.

>>1079845 >Plus people replying to thousands of posts saying "all me" or "samefag" or some such cancerous insinuation. That happens here too.

>>1079849 Well, it's wrong here, as well

>>1079823 >Any hope the .se domain is back? Perhaps after the ourobooru migration.

>>1064753 >Does Acid (and any of the other co-owners/admins) even care anymore? >If one of the main domains that people got accustomed for a long time to using just dies without even an update or redirect, that's pretty much at least some users lost guaranteed. My honest reaction to this: "Come one man, I don't need another avatar showcase. I can look up Asuka pics myself. Stop ignoring people's issues, get your act together!"

>>1080177 >shows up to a thread where anons have dozens of technical issues >singles out and responds to LCP, while calling him luciano as he declares how good he is at identifying bad actors, doesn't ban or delete his posts >leaves for another 3 months He's really in tune with imageboard culture.

>>1079750 Go browse 4chan for a while and see how well lacking IDs goes for you. You'll wish for ways to spot and prevent samefagging very quickly.

>>1080280 Cuck/pol/ actually has ids but whole board is astroturf general full of discord raids and boomers. Butthurt after butthurt with some schizophrenic posts inbetween and i think it hurts the eyes at this point.

>>1080283 That's /pol/ though. Being the worst board on any site and a cancer that's allowed to ruin every other board by its very nature is going to cause problems that can't be solved by IDs alone.

>>1080284 >problems that can't be solved by IDs alone. All of cuckchan is a problem that IDs won't solve. Why in the hell do you think the lack of IDs is a good argument for why it is the way it is? It's subverted from the top down.

>>1080280 I used to use 4chan all the time, well before IDs were invented. It was a better time. The best time.

>>1080414 Must have been meta or something

Every dog has two masks. One mask to pretend to be retarded. Another mask to mask the fact its actually retarded.

Did you disable PNG uploads? I tried to post an APNG that is already on the server & it blocked the file format. Then I tried to post a PNG screencap of the error message & it wouldn't post that either so I had to convert it to JPEG. What the fuck did you do?

Esther M. Aronowitz is back. THIS IS NOT A DRILL Acid's updates on the AI Porn Bans, loli, and the pedonigger attack First, the AI Porn Bans and loli Beginning on January 1st, several countries and US States had laws go into effect concerning AI generated porn. Think like the law currently being debated in Texas, except there's already 12 States that passed it, and many, many countries. This snuck up on us, as it wasn't widely reported in any free-speech channels and we never saw much protest or other dust kicked up that would draw attention to it. Most of these laws are surface aimed at Deepfake images used for harassment purposes, but several, like the one in Texas, also pose a serious threat to the existence of *any and all* fictional content that so much as resembles a minor. The retardation that we saw years ago in Australia went International, and nobody was the wiser until it was already in effect all over. That is why we temporarily lost the .se domain. The host contacted us and and notified us that to comply with Norway's version of the law they couldn't service us any longer. After four very comfy years. To their credit, they were nice about it and communicated with us. It was then when we went in search of replacements that we discovered how widespread the new 2025 laws really are, and it shocked us. tl;dr a bunch of feel-good bans on AI art got passed around the world 2 months ago, and several are also written to ban loli art in places where it was previously legal. >Resolution: We do have a new server for .se coming online. It just took time and a lot of work to find one. We were well underway setting this up when a new problem arose. The Pedonigger Attack The site is currently in the process of being Esthered. For those who don't remember that event, some unknown person using the handle "Esther M. Aronowitz" spent time hunting down 8chan splinter sites in 2020, badgering registrars and hosting companies with alarmist reports to get them to drop service. It happened to us once, and to sites on the webring too. Only this time the attacker has taken a more active role. The reason why PNG files and GIFs are disabled at the moment is because he spent time creating animated images that contained CP buried several seconds deep in the animation frames, and then seeded them in dead threads and slow boards all around the site. He then waited several hours before linking those files in Esther-type reports to the hosts and registrars. We've removed them immediately each time but it still poses a risk. Its an ongoing battle and we're looking into a better technical solution. IN THE MEANTIME, DON'T HESITATE TO GLOBALLY REPORT ANY UNUSUAL FILES. You guys are very good about reporting that shit when you stumble across it, and always have been. But this faggot is hiding the shit so that it won't be noticed even on a cursory check by a user or even a mod. Anyone whos bored and wants to help out can poke around old threads across the site and just see if you bump into one. Report it and we'll take care of it immediately. If you have the free time, help us take a closer look. We're staying in contact with the hosts and registrars and have explained the situation in detail, but the more we can do to clean the shit up faster, the better off we'll be until a better solution is ready. Stephen Lynx is assisting us too, so it shouldn't take too long to get implemented. We didn't wanna say anything until we had it figured out and a roadmap we could present. The problem is these laws are super new, mostly foreign languages, untested in courts and enforcement, and theres no place that even has a handy list compiled of what is banned where yet. Its a clusterfuck. Kentucky, California, Oklahoma, Oregon, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada, and the rest were up northeast. Typical mix of libshit and boomercon states. Texas is in the news because theirs is the most explicit about going after all fictional works, but nearly all of them have the potential to. Most of the international ones are closer to Texas, like what happened in Norway.

>>1080508 I figured out what you were trying to link. >>1080507 But that was confusing. I've noticed there's a lot of attacks all around the same time lately. X was getting DDOS attacked by Ukraine. A lot of political commentators were getting SWAT'd & now 8moe is getting hit with takedown attempts. I doubt the freaks doing these things will be properly penalized so they'll just keep doing it. In the bigger picture, it seems like retaliation for U.S. cutting off tax funding to a lot of activists & digging up their fraud. There's still plenty of EU tax money pouring into their pockets so it's not like the tap is completely dry, but the U.S. was a massive portion of it. Regardless, I doubt the U.S. has even eliminated half of it since the current admin won't touch anything with a jewish label, so a lot of U.S. taxpayer funding for activist terrorism is likely still active.

>>1080414 You hurt is precious tranny feelings

>>1080510 Which commentators got SWAT'd?

Assuming loli hentai is criminalized in the US, then what? All of the admins of this site are doxxed by nature of relation to Acid. Mark is in the same boat. So basically everyone in charge of the site and /v/ couldn't even use a darknet service in the event that loli was criminalized. For site admins there isn't much they can do regardless because their financial information is necessarily going to leave breadcrumbs. But there isn't a single trustworthy BO who hasn't had his information exposed in some way buying domains, exposing their real name, etc. "We" essentially have no one to carry any mantle that couldn't be reported to the feds and get v& when the cuckservatives and leftists band together to purge the internet of anything they deem degenerate, which anyone with a brain saw coming from a mile away years ago. I've also been lazy and haven't kept up with the current technology for which darknet services were the best.

>>1080559 The webring is still there. The 8chan diaspora isn't new to the idea of being left up shit creek without a paddle. (((They))) won't be able to terminate all of the webring imageboards all at once. If 8chan ever goes down again, just amass on one of the webring boards until a new site is created.

>>1080560 >The webring is still there Why would a handful of clearnet imageboards be useful in the event of federally criminalized hentai? Did you even read my post? No one is going to risk prison time to host illegal loli porn because "they can't catch us all!"

WW3 will be over lolis.

>>1080559 >>1080562 If the US made loli illegal, then sites would have to be run in countries where loli isn't illegal and run by people who live in those countries. What else would you expect?

>>1080568 >What else would you expect? Nigger can you fucking read? The post is clearly talking about utilizing the darknet.

>>1080576 It's interesting how you manage to operate a computer while lacking any ability to parse language.

>>1080559 They can't do that without overturning longrunning past First Amendment precedent in the Supreme Court.

There are plenty of nude depictions in classical art that are not over 18 so did Texas ban those paintings? >>1080547 X thread about it: https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/1901466684398895135 <archive only grabs ONE post from entire X thread <xcancel archive is stuck on a verify screen Here's an article about it that I COULD archive: https://archive.is/juqiv Seems "right wing" accounts that got SWAT'd were Elon dickriders & pro-Israel so the activist terrorists are hitting controlled opposition pretty much. Possibly also related to all the vandalism of Teslas.

>>1080601 https://archive.ph/Rpajm

>>1080569 >>1080562 America (a few states, at that) making loli illegal is not going to dissuade the other countries which currently allow loli from being allowed. Loli will still be hosted on certain eastern European websites as always.

>>1080617 The 8chan diaspora didn't have the webring and other decentralized sites to lean back on and regroup in before 8chan initially went down. The userbase is far more prepared, generally speaking, nowadays.

>>1080655 >muh webring The concept was a failure in the 90s, and it's a failure now.

>>1080655 The webring works better as a bunker than it does for any centralized discussion. You see it with sites like sleepy where it's just a worse version of this place. Basically what >>1080660 said is correct.The webring was an interesting concept but was ultimately more of a D&C tactic than a proper alternative.

>>1080662 A big factor in its failure was allowing Julay/Alogs in on it.

>>1080665 Irrelevant, it it would have been better to convince other jannys to suck up their pride and come to a centralized site rather than having everyone have their own little site and constantly losing users by jumping from place to place.

>>1080666 Nah, once you're a site owner you're pretty much doomed to a life of narcissism, power-tripping, and circlejerking. The webring drama where they excommunicated 8chan for no good reason basically confirmed that. I think the webring would've worked fine if 8moe had just stayed on it, there was a point in time where the entire webring was actually growing, but once they cut off 8chan from it, every site started slowly going down over time (which makes sense, since 8chan had by far the biggest population of users at the time). You can't survive when you have massive blood loss, simple as. They basically cut off half their body to spite Acid/Mork and suffered for it, bunch of retards.

>>1080670 Who can say with certainty? I think that the webring needed us more than we needed them, and now they're dead as a result of a dumb power play against Mark and Acid.

>>1080673 >I think the webring needed us more than we needed them By a moderate margin I suppose that's true, but its the wrong way of thinking about it since there shouldn't be a need for hostile thinking like that in the first place. Users are users, we're all of the same stock, share the same values and history, and come from the same place More users generally allow for more growth. By discovering one site, they can discover all sites. That was the value of the webring and why it could even have growth at all for a brief period of time. The site owners are ultimately to blame. Now there's both less sites, and less users. To Acid's credit, he genuinely tried to extend an olive branch to them and they rejected it, even when he offered to meet all their demands and proved it they still turned him down, while they kept toxic elements like Alogs/Julay on the webring who literally ruined PLW and showing blatant double standards. They basically destroyed any right to their legitimacy and a future for imageboards outside of cuckchan. I have nothing but contempt for the ones responsible for this.

I just want to go back to the old times bro

>>1080655 >The 8chan diaspora didn't have the webring and other decentralized sites to lean back on and regroup in before 8chan initially went down. Yes it did. Various major boards had bunker sites. Mark even shut down the /v/ bunker site prematurely to try and corral anons into the steaming pile of shit that is 8kunt.

>>1080670 >The webring drama where they excommunicated 8chan for no good reason You mean harboring /hebe/, the negative effects of which are still felt on the site to this day, was a bad reason to dissociate with 8moe?

>>1080590 The judges that made that ruling in favor of free speech in that case are gone, and any feel good anti-pedo bill with bipartisan support will be hard for them to turn down. >>1080601 >There are plenty of nude depictions in classical art that are not over 18 so did Texas ban those paintings? Nudity =/= obscenity. It's an "I know it when I see it" rule and will be selectively enforced on much lower hanging fruit.

>>1080691 Did you disassociate with 8chan prime when it was doing the same thing? Considering you're still here, I doubt you did. It was a mistake, yes, but the reasoning behind it was that even those fags deserved free speech as long as they weren't breaking any rules. In terms of "negative effects being felt", literally every webring site has had some catastrophic mistakes that have left them feeling the effects much later.

>>1080696 >Did you disassociate with 8chan prime when it was doing the same thing? I was largely unaware of the existence of /hebe/ on 8prime until it was already gone. It made up a much smaller part of the site at that time too. There was also no major alternative to dissociate from it to. I'm sure many would have jumped ship from cuckchan sooner if they had known about 8chan during some other major events preceding goobergate, or if 8chan had existed much earlier. >It was a mistake, yes, but the reasoning behind it was that even those fags deserved free speech as long as they weren't breaking any rules. Such a naϊve mindset could be forgiven, if such an experiment had never been conducted before. However, this experiment has happened many thousands of times across the internet and the result is always the same. Everyone told Acid this was a massive retard move like sticking your hand in fire to see if it's hot, and he did it anyways.

>>1080700 So you have every excuse possible for 8chan prime, but none for here? >I'm sure many would have jumped ship from cuckchan sooner if they had known about 8chan during some other major events preceding goobergate, or if 8chan had existed much earlier. No, they wouldn't have. The biggest reason 8chan got big to begin with was because of Gamergate's exodus. There were other imageboards existing at the time, people just chose 8chan to jump to because it seemed the best out of the options available. >Such a naϊve mindset could be forgiven, if such an experiment had never been conducted before. However, this experiment has happened many thousands of times across the internet and the result is always the same. Libertarian mindsets regarding free speech pretty much necessitate the experiment towards allowing the extremes and believing that "they could do it better". You're willing to forgive the thousandth time, but not the thousandth and first time? One would ask why are you still here to begin with then if you actually believe what you're saying?

And of course (((LCP))) decides to chime in with his "achually the pedophiles were the larger population goy!" bullshit.

>>1080704 >So you have every excuse possible for 8chan prime Reasons you don't like are excuses. >No, they wouldn't have. I'm sure you're sure of that. >You're willing to forgive the thousandth time, but not the thousandth and first time? Again, /hebe/ was a very small part of 8chan relative to overall site activity. It wasn't here. Furthermore, /hebe/ was part of hotwheels' 8chan. It and his defense of it disappeared with Jimbo. Allowing /hebe/ here was Acid's idea, and Acid is still the one in charge. >One would ask why are you still here to begin with then if you actually believe what you're saying? I'm arguing for the reasonableness of the actions of the webring in dissociating from 8moe, not for what website I use and what side I chose. There is no "I kept using 8chan after /hebe/ happened but I won't use 8moe after /hebe/ happened". I use this site far more than the webring boards.

>>1080708 >reasons you don't like are excuses They're bad reasons to begin with. You literally said you were ignorant of the issue back on prime and somehow you believe that's totally fine. >I'm sure you're sure of that. No, history shows that. If you unironically believe that the history of imageboards goes >2003: 4chan [literally nothing for 11 years] >2014: 8chan Then you're even more ignorant than I thought. Makes me doubt you were even here on prime to begin with. >Again, /hebe/ was a very small part of 8chan relative to overall site activity. It wasn't here. Furthermore, /hebe/ was part of hotwheels' 8chan. It and his defense of it disappeared with Jimbo. Allowing /hebe/ here was Acid's idea, and Acid is still the one in charge. Ah yes, because Jim did nothing wrong with 8chan after all. He just cleaned up the pedos that you didn't even know existed after all, nothing else went horribly wrong during his control of 8chan. >I'm arguing for the reasonableness of the actions of the webring in dissociating from 8moe, not for what website I use and what side I chose. There is no "I kept using 8chan after /hebe/ happened but I won't use 8moe after /hebe/ happened". I use this site far more than the webring boards. So you're playing devil's advocate for an issue you've taken double standards in the past on based on ignorance, brilliant. Either way, Acid's olive branch to the webring came after the /hebe/ shit was eradicated so there was no longer any excuse after that. This "proportion" argument is also pointless, the number of pedos was not significant on either site, you're just arguing percentages which is an entirely arbitrary metric. Neither of them reached even single digit percentages of the population, it amounts to quibbling. There was no "reasonableness" argument to be made because there were already double standards in play, making the argument moot. If explicitly destroying, intimidating, and threatening literal portions of the webring wasn't enough for Alogs/Julay to be kicked out (not to mention /cow/'s past behavior back on prime), why should 8moe be completely excluded for trying something that was attempted in the past? There's no good reason for it, selective justice isn't justice, that's just bias. They could've requested that the pedo boards be delisted from the site, or any number of alternatives if they had an issue that could've been resolved, but they didn't, and their behavior after the fact shows that it was bias all along. You're giving good faith to people who never had any to begin with.

>>1080684 Don't try to rewrite history, faggot nigger. I was there. The only boards which had declared, existing bunkers were /a/ (smuglo.li) /leftypol/ (leftypol) and very scant other options for even smaller boards. The only catch-all bunker was the darknet 08chan, but that was not very popular due to the security risks of downloading what could end up being CP to your computer. /pol/ had nothing, but that may have been for the best since a good portion were just Q boomers by the time 8chan fell. The largest boards, other than /a/, had no dedicated backups.

>>1080713 >You're giving good faith to people who never had any to begin with. Sounds to me like there's a group of faggots on both sites that just absolutely despise each other and consider everyone on the opposing site to be irredeemable faggots not worth reaching any sort of understanding with, despite the majority on both sites not caring and most people only using ziggerchan over 8moe because they don't like Mark >>1080714 >Don't try to rewrite history, faggot nigger. <Proceeds to rewrite history himself /v/ had a bunker. When 8kunt went live, it was closed prematurely even though 8kunt wasn't ready for users yet and you could hardly post on it.

>>1080715 >Sounds to me like there's a group of faggots on both sites that just absolutely despise each other and consider everyone on the opposing site to be irredeemable faggots not worth reaching any sort of understanding with That's correct. I was talking about the site owners' actions during this discussion, I never said the users were to blame (Except for the select few who were shitstirring dramaniggers mind you, those did exist, but like you said they were a minority).

>>1080653 I don't care about whether or not some random subhumans host niche hentai porn sites. I'm talking about this imageboard and the board owners. I'm saying that in the event loli hentai is criminalized any board owner would have to have proper opsec and not have his complete dox publicly available. Unless everyone is just going to decide to be comfortable with using an imageboard that constantly has to buckle to the whims of the US government. The only thing I could imagine is having a complete clone of this site hosted on the darknet by someone who has proper opsec and has never exposed himself in any way.

.se is back baby

>>1080868 SHITPOSTING AT WORK, IS BACK, BABY

Haven’t posted here in ages. Mark still around?

>>1080886 No, Mark switched sides and joined Resetera, he's been trying to take down 8/v/ ever since. Now /v/ is being run by a Brazilian guy called Luciano.

>>1080696 >Did you disassociate with 8chan prime when it was doing the same thing? That was the first time it ever occurred, and it had negative repercussions that webring board owners wanted to avoid. It lead to the reputation that people were sharing democrat pizza on 8chan, that is to say normalfags at the time thought anons where sharing actual 3D photographic pizza ain’t just the mongolian drawings they usually complain about, and technically they were right. What normalfags thought of 8prime wouldn’t have mattered if the gobberment didn’t get involved, but when the accusation was so serious and the target a scary anonymous board, they were bound to. It didn’t matter that the “anons” sharing that stuff were invasive parasites using the board as a glorified link dump. Yes, 8prime was nuked primarily due to the Australian, but all this other baggage didn’t help things either. The webring boards are all a lot smaller, so they’d have an even harder time handling this than the original 8chan did. You’ll understand then, I hope, why they don’t want to paint any more targets on their back than they already have by associating with an imageboard that hosts /hebe/. Frankly, I think this is all quite obvious and am not sure why you even needed it explained.

>>1080949 >it lead to the reputation No, false flag CP attacks by people like Dan Olsen and media lies and attacks led to the false reputation of 8chan. >technically they were right No more than any other large social media site which had this issue. For example, reddit used to have very large jailbait subreddits at the time, not to mention large amounts of CP attacks back then, as well as places like Faceberg having these kinds of CP issues. The media outlets didn't know anything about the site itself. Many of those attacks you refer to either came during the GG exodus, which was when the site was being false-flagged, DDoS'd and attacked by aGGro pedos and journos, or during the THQ Nordic AMA, which was long past any of those boards still actually existing and was purely a slander campaign. Any government pressure had nothing to do with 8chan prime or the fake pedo accusations. It was the mass shooting accusations that caused 8chan any actual scrutiny by governments, afaik the "pedo" stuff was never mentioned anywhere. and it was entirely Jim's decision to fuck over the site. The government never made any official rulings or actions against 8chan outside of questioning. >The webring boards are all a lot smaller, so they’d have an even harder time handling this than the original 8chan did. You’ll understand then, I hope, why they don’t want to paint any more targets on their back than they already have by associating with an imageboard that hosts /hebe/. Might as well start bringing up the HBO documentary lunch that Mark took and everyone went full alarmist about when nothing fucking resulted out of it. When nobody fucking knows about the existence of the webring boards besides a few autists, they're even less likely to have any targets painted on them. None of these sites even have a kikepedo entry on them, nobody even knows any of us even exist these days. Your entire argument hinges on completely nebulous assumptions. >You’ll understand then, I hope, why they don’t want to paint any more targets on their back than they already have by associating with an imageboard that hosts /hebe/. Yes, because preserving the reputation of splinter communities that all came out of the corpse of a "pedo website" is much more important than stopping said communities from literally destroying each other. You can act like all these vague assumptions were the real reason, but when the issue was already resolved, the real reasons for why 8chan wasn't let back in was revealed. Trying to pretend otherwise is frankly, naive as fuck. There was no known government scrutiny into 8moe as a result of /hebe/ 's existence.

>>1080957 >Yes, because preserving the reputation of splinter communities that all came out of the corpse of a "pedo website" Their reputation doesn’t matter. If somebody reported 8moe for hosting /hebe/, and it was part of the web ring at the time, there would be a risk of the Sebring getting caught in the crossfire. Them being obscure boards is precisely what makes them more vulnerable to being nuked. As you already knew.

>>1080971 And by "everyone" you really mean the handful of namefag circlejerks that fucked off after /hebe/ and their underage whore threads got nuked. It was a vastly different time over a decade ago, when everyone was riding the tides of an unfolding culture war that caught many by surprise. Obama era special interest held almost every site under a politically correct pressure cooker and what made prime exceptional was simply being open when everyone else was closed.

>>1080971 >having fun in comfy bunkers with minima Risk of being nuked >Face considerable risk of getting nuked, which would be much harder to come back from for a small bunker, over lolbert moralfaggotry and attention seeking 100% of Scandinavian slaves fail this test.

>>1080965 <look at this ridiculous hypothetical that never happened, imagine what would happen if it did >separate websites with separate owners would've had to shut down their websites if 8chan was taken down I think you're just completely talking out of your ass. Pedo Dan and others already tried this shit with 8chan prime and it didn't work. If there was a problem they simply could have just removed 8chan from the webring if things really did get that bad. The webring has literally zero legal obligation or connections to each other, it is not a legal entity in anyway. /hebe/ never resulted in any known government action the entire time it was here until it was shut down. >Them being obscure boards is precisely what makes them more vulnerable to being nuked. I think you're retarded. More webring sites have died from other completely unrelated shit than pedoshit actually leading to a site shutdown. See: zchan.cc, Julay, fatchan, anon.cafe, etc. (PLW is functionally all but abandoned by the owner because of the drama, but is technically alive) You have literally zero proof for your hypotheticals. >Obama era special interest held almost every site under a politically correct pressure cooker and what made prime exceptional was simply being open when everyone else was closed. No? There were other places that were open at the time, they were just filled with a cancerous userbase, had less features, and smaller userbases so nobody wanted to use them much. See: endchan, masterchan, etc. Or just had different userbases and weren't really interested in politics as much as things like shitposting or specific interest topics, like 7chan, 4chon, 420chan, wizchan, etc.
