>>5423 First post for /sm/. Also a cyclical thread for all kinds of meta will be a huge pain in the ass, trust me. It's better to make non-cyclical threads and close the old ones after they reach a certain amount of posts. This makes searching and archiving important posts and announcements much easier.

Second for advertising the Alina thread because I am a slow typer: >>>/site/5219 since my one on /b/ got deleted. Parias deleted 14 pictures from there, includes ones that were timestamped for age verification-- >>5424 Better than having it in /v/?

>>5424 That may turn out to be the case, in which event we'll spin one or two things (Tech support most likely) back to their own threads. /site/ was just getting cluttered to the point we weren't paying attention like we should, and so people used it less, so it was slow and we paid less attention, etc. and so forth. /v/ is great, but sitewide meta should be on the sitewide board.

>>5425 >Better than having it in /v/? Yes, but having a cyclical thread means that somebody needs to archive them often to avoid losing important posts that are automatically deleted after 600 replies. By having multiple threads with a defined limit it becomes easier to look for specific posts without having to depend on external archives. The closed threads could be "stored" in a separate board, similarly to how dead GG threads are moved to a read-only board at >>>/gg/. >>5426 Three simultaneous threads would be ideal. One for tech support (including the main site, Redchannit/Tor and 8chanTV), one for complaints against board/site staff and rules, and a read-only thread for site announcements (Lynxchan updates, changes in global rules, contests, janny applications, etc.) so it doesn't become a third general meta thread.

Question, what's the "recommended" or "best" browser for 8moe? Chrome based, Firefox based, or something else? (I've been having trouble viewing reply links with WaterFox classic). also, any recommendation for specific scripts? (I use violent monkey as my script manager)

>>5428 Librewolf or ungoogled chromium.

>>5428 I've found the latest versions of Firefox (literal troon developers aside) run the site flawlessly. Chrome on an old Windows 7 box does as well. I'd say 90% of our bug reports come from Waterfox or Palemoon users. Brave has also been tested here and worked fine, and the "open this link over TOR" functionality was occasionally handy.

>>5427 >somebody needs to archive them often I've been archiving the /v/Meta occasionally when I noticed the previous posts are sliding off and someone else hadn't done so anytime recently. Same can be done here, I suppose, assuming this is actually used for longer than a day or two? For example, the oldest post in the /v/Meta is 12 days old. That's plenty living time in a cyclical outside of announcements and such-- >Specific meta threads on this board and elsewhere are deprecated. If something is really important or urgent it may get its own sticky, otherwise post in here. I notice a bunch of other threads here were unstickied. I was going to mention that as being a problem (too many threads stickied so only 3-4 "regular" threads can be on the first page). Guess that's not a problem now. Not many go off the first page of the index I think, and a few of them were pretty similar anyways-- >>5428 >what's the "recommended" or "best" browser for 8moe? TOR. What reason is there not to use TOR? It's built on Firefox which is one of the main browsers used to debug. Only time TOR is trash is if you're on mobile because then you can't post pictures from it (because even torproject gave up on phonefags, I think?)--

I haven't gotten to make a big metapost in a while, so it's time. Site Status as of 5/11/2022 The war in Ukraine is fucking with our network connectivity and some users are experiencing occasional slowness. This was compounded by a very hefty DDoS attack that the site was sustaining via its TOR service for well over a month. The amount of flooding it was doing was using the same amount of bandwidth every ten hours that the site would normally use in an entire month. We have done what we could to mitigate both problems, including implementing a request flood filter in the caching engine, and forking that engine to also intercept TOR traffic. At the same time we increased our bandwidth allocation from the host. Compounding the above issues the site suffered a hack attack that compromised a low level account on the server and tried to mine some sort of crypto using our CPU power. This happened because the server OS upgrade from a couple months back changed a previously secure config file back to its defaults, and we had to root out the intruder. No sensitive information was compromised, and the server is now running an upgraded security suite including full SELinux. Last night we changed some memory optimization parameters on the server to free up more resources and prevent a recurring memory leak problem within Lynxchan's database. We hope this will improve site performance overall. The memleak wasn't critically bad but it was annoying. As of my writing this, 24 hours have passed and it has not returned. Transparency Reports Since the last meta post we have received >Zero subpoenas >14 DMCA takedowns mostly related to /interracial/ >Two cease-and-desists (part of two of the DMCA takedowns above) demanding that we disallow posting of certain images - hashbans were duly applied >Zero law enforcement requests >Zero warrants, and the warrant canary is still valid >Zero users reported under Global Rule 2 >Two complaints from the host, both over CP on /b/ >Numerous general complaints to the registrars and host, all of which were ignored by them ("muh evil 8chan" and "muh hatespeech on /pol/") Upcoming Goodies Lynxchan 2.8 is in the works, and we are adapting our frontend for it now. 2.8 will also include a much improved Mobile frontend for all the phonefags out there along with the usual big fixes and CSS tweaks '''. The catalog loading system is being rebuilt to allow the anti-DDoS filters to be adjusted more tightly. We are taking the first baby steps in a long path to implementing some site features in Web Assembly instead of javascript. Don't expect anything to come from this anytime soon, but its a thing. We are likewise looking at adding some new backend functionality, including a way to segregate the Proof of Work system between TOR and clearnet and some tweaks to make the POW less abusive to mobile users and anons on toasters. Site Rules Updates The Rulings Compendium has been updated several times over the past months to account for abuse, particularly CP-related stuff and moderation issues. Global Rules have not been directly affected. We had a lot of edge cases to sort through this cycle. Misc We're losing our best CSS and Javascript guy soon to the Curse of Gottajob. We are taking applications for coders proficient in either of these things to get 2.8 finished up as quickly as possible. Please contact codexx @ cock dot li if you would like to contribute. We've also revamped /site/ a bit and refocused meta discussion here for sitewide issues. Admin Acidman made a tour of the webring in the wake of the /hebe/ board's removal, requesting that the site be re-added in good standing since the purported reason for our removal was gone. We were roundly rebuffed, and the site will be proceeding ahead with our future plans without them. We are in the market for two more Global Moderators One is to fill a vacant slot and the other for another pair of hands. If you can handle doing mostly-boring hotpocketry by-the-book, aren't a dick, and enjoy pissing off spammers and CP enthusiasts, please submit your resume to 8moeadmin@protonmail.com Include: >8moe user account name (if any) >Any past modding experience here or elsewhere >Available hours Thank you for reading, and see you next time!

>>5433 >DDoS sustaining via Tor for a month get in touch with fatchan about ddos and bots, especially re. Tor.

Firefox and all of it's forks are stopping me from completing the captcha. Shit's on a constant reloading loop and answering it correctly simply gives me a an incorrect/expired notice. I think this was reported before, both here anf on /t/

>>5437 Make sure you aren't blocking anything in noscript or any other plugins for the site. Lynxchan uses referer and other http headers for some of its functions. What version of FF are you on, and what OS?

>>5438 Waterfox and Spyware 10

Could it be possible to implement inline replies the same way this site does, and maybe some of their other scripts? https://nhnb.org/qa/res/4.html

So, when is custom javascript support coming out? I want to mess around with my board's javascript adding custom music and snow for special occasion and I don't want to wait 8chan admins to see my request and add it.

>>5441 March 19th

>>5441 It's by request only. What is your board?

>>5423 Acid make "8ch.moe" redirect to 8kuntz or to 9chan in response to faggot shooter

REGARDING THE RECENT HABBEDIGS IN BUFFALO We are well aware of the shooter's declarations in his manifesto wherein he namedrops 8chan.moe. The globals and myself have dug through every post made in the last several days and can say three things with confidence: 1. The shooter did not originally post his manifesto here, it was reposted. 2. The shooter did not post or advertise his stream link here. 3. I was unable to find a single piece of evidence that points to him ever posting here, period. With that said, for the moment please consider the manifesto off-limits to post. While I am reasonably certain that the majority of it is free speech, I am not positive and can't find any clearly definitive declarations that such a thing is totally safe to host, especially at the moment. This will likely change as more info is brought to light but at the moment let's err on the side of caution.

>>5445 put this up on the home page but also do what I just told you >>5444

>>5445 Nothing happened in NYC you fucking mega retard. It was in Buffalo NY on the literal other side of entire state of NY. Get your shit straight, Root c'mon,.

>>5445 what about posting the video, or is that off limits, too? I don't have it, obviously, but I think it's important to make a statement about that, too

>>5445 And you think any of those three things will matter to anybody outside this site?

>>5445 If you happen to find the video, make sure to archive it.

>>5445 I'm really concerned about this, don't wanna lose my net home. Fucking glowniggers. Let me know if you need help. I can't do much but y'know.

>>5445 It wasn't NYC

>>5445 I mean if they want to fuck this place into the dirt, nothing is going to stop them.

>>5445 I didn't even know there was a shooting.

This seems like nothing, but remember to download TOR anyways just in case the site dies and hides in the .onion domain only^^

>>5445 Posting a recent shooter's manifesto is about as illegal as posting mein kampf. It's only illegal to post if you're the one who wrote, because then those are your actionable threats. Don't be fucking retarded and pull an 8kunt.

>>5455 Kill yourself

Fun day, huh? We went over all the active posts on the site for the past several days, and it doesn't look like this mass shooting motherfucker has ever actually posted here. Current best guess is that he latched onto the similar name to lend "evil 8chan" cred to his bootleg manifesto. We're a small, mostly unknown site, our /pol/ is barely active, and "fedposting" about doing this kind of shit is unwelcome on every major board AFAIK. We're innocent. Even so, someone may raise a stink without fact checking first, so we'll keep everyone appraised of anything that develops. Emergency plans are at the ready.

>>5458 >Emergency plans are at the ready. You mean turning the .moe and .se domains into redirects to 8kun.top and going tor only?

>>5458 Turn the schizo referrer mode back on so that people can only access any board by clicking links on the front page. This will break most links as the reporters try to frame us.

>>5458 Wow it's almost like you rulecucked over "fedposting" and killed your /pol/ in the process for absolute no good reason because they can just fabricate whatever bullshit they want regardless of what you do. If only we had some former site that fell into this trap of prioritizing damage control over creating the best user experience that we could have learned from to avoid this.

>>5461 Get fucked Darwin.

>>5462 I post from Tor, autist. Also I couldn't care less about what happens to this site I only pretend to sometimes when I'm bored.

>>5463 I'm posting from the se domain now andthat changes your ID all the time, so I guess what I just said doesn't really make sense anymore, lol/

>>5460 Yeah that's a good idea. Do that Acid.

>>5465 Agreeing with yourself is gay dude.

>>5460 Please do this. Also, please stop the teeline autist from ruining threads on /v/ perhaps by wordfiltering it on the board. Thank you.

>>5467 >lease stop the teeline autist from ruining threads on /v/ perhaps by wordfiltering it on the board That's something Mark can do.

>>5468 Word replacement does nothing to prevent retards from shitting up threads. It just makes their already inane posts that much more inane. The word filters need to block posts entirely from going through.

>>5469 Just ignore it.

>>5445 For fucks sake. I don't want another exodus. I don't want to pack my bags again. My board has jumped from 8ch > julay > hoppesama > 8ch.moe & it was my decision to come here. >he namedrops 8chan.moe I wouldn't be surprised if this was a snub

>>5458 haha based aryan wanted to take down this faggot pedo site run by a fucking nigger dick loving loser

>>5472 Who are you again

>>5474 It doesn't matter who we are

>>5475 What matters is our *chan.

>>5477 We don't say "chan" here, newfag. Go back to twitter.

We are going to survive this one, guys, stay strong. I believe in you.

>>5482 They may take away our site but they can never take away our lust for underaɡe girls.

>>5483 Do not touch my daughter, motherfucker.

>>5484 Anon... I am your daughter

>>5483 >no hips

>>5486 Until this was just spoilered, I had to look at hentai on the front page when it's promised that such content never shows up there. Jesus christ Codexx, run this board better man.

IT'S BEEN ABOUT 36 HOURS SINCE THE SHOOTING We are lifting the moratorium on posting, due to it being newsworthy, of the shooter's manifesto for commentary and critique. Please mind the global rules and the ruling on "Calls to Violence" during your discussions. - The Admins

>>5489 Actually it's still there, an upstanding citizen such as myself heavily disapproves of this content.

>>5475 >>5477 If the glowniggers pull this off, will we die? >>5488 >>5490 oh noooo anime porn, somebody protect our virgin eyes! should have posted the cover image insted

>>5491 >>5492 i saw that

>>5493 would you rather see a double post or an edited post?

>>5494 >edited Please don't out yourself as site staff next time unless you are directly using your role signature, it lowers my opinion on a poster knowing that they can see my full posting history.

>>5495 >Please don't out yourself as site staff. what? > it lowers my opinion on a poster knowing that they can see my full posting history. what are you talking about? am I missing something?

I had sex with the mothers of every single anon in this thread. including my own

>>5497 good job son >>5489 will users be notified in case the site is contacted by press or law enforcement?

>>5488 if anyone wished to they could make it so nothing but hentai is on the front page all the time and theres nothing they could do to stop it. the powerless janny fears the weaponized autism.

>>5498 Of course.

>>5496 Yes, you mentioning that you could edit your post means you are either a BO, Admin or vol/gvol. Regular posters can't edit posts.

>>5489 The moe domain went down just when I finished reading this post. I entered in absolute panic, jesus.

>>5501 think I see the misunderstanding now. >Regular posters can't edit posts. I just deleted my old post and remade it with changes. that's what I called "editing" my post. I'm just another anon (not part of the staff). >>5502 site is running a bit slow for me. blanked out for few moments then came back

>>5502 >>5503 Sorry, I rebooted the server after making a tweak to one of the kernel settings. Didn't mean to cause any heart attacks.

>>5433 die you filthy communist puppet

>>5458 >We went over all the active posts on the site for the past several days, and it doesn't look like this mass shooting motherfucker has ever actually posted here. He has, and even mentions it in his blog. For example: >>>/pol/13119 is likely his thread (and I bet if the IP address is still linked to the post it will confirm that it's from New York?) as he talks about that one specifically, and it's America-flag-- >>5473 >faggot pedo site He seems to be okay with faggots and cat murdering, but not pedophilia? Sounds like a closet pedo to me? He's a perfect fit for this site in that case^^ >>5498 >>5500 I volunteer to speak to the press on behalf of the site. I can pretend to be Acid or Codexx, or just as myself--

>>5516 No one will ever believe what a childfucker says.

>>5504 do you still need someone to cry to about your nigger boyfriends getting shot in the head?

>>5516 >He has, and even mentions it in his blog Where? 8moe is mentioned in his gaynifesto only once, and the post he was supposed to made here wasn't found anywhere. >>>>/pol/13119 is likely his thread And exactly what makes you think this?

>>5519 >Where? His Discord, where he first posted his manifesto and advertised the channel. There are 589 pages of Discord logs (his blog). And that thread he has copy-pasted in it as well as some other 4chan threads, all with American flags, though he doesn't specifically say he is the one posting them--

>>5520 >peabrain reasoning just fuck off and die you fucking loser

>>5457 >>5517 >>5521 Why so much anger? Anger causes cancer, don't you know? Though I suppose most things cause cancer, now, so--?

>>5522 you are cancer you have no friends, no one likes you killyourself

>>5520 >There are 589 pages of Discord logs (his blog) Link?

I just noticed the "archive" button next to the catalog. What does it do? it doesn't redirect to anywhere.

>>5516 The IP doesn't match and the ASN is from a different state. Not every schitzo looking /pol/ post is a candidate for this kind of faggotry. Codexx ran a search for any records matching him (bans etc. too) and the globals did a manual search of the previous week of threads. Both turned up nothing. He might have intended to post here before the shooting like he stated, but for whatever reason he didn't. >>5526 That usually leads to a pre-formatted archive.is link. I know the devteam was working with the catalog a bunch lately so it may be temporarily broken.

>>5528 The "archive" button from inside the thread works just fine, which doesn't work is the archive button from the board's front page. It could be cool if there was an option to automatically archive old threads, archive today is fine but it doesn't store pictures which sucks. Another neat thing could be a catalog of archive today files.

How come this board has banner with these dimensions? according to the board's manual 300x100 banners are only allowed and I tried to add a banner with a different dimension and it was resized. Speaking of which I'd like to use 600x200 banners on my boards since, would you consider making possible to add banners with different dimensions?

>>5534 Banner dimensions are enforced by the site's native CSS/theme. You can disable this by adding a .css file of your own to your board containing the following code snippet: #bannerImage { height: unset !important; } You just need to paste that into a .txt file, rename the extension to .css and upload the file to where it says "Custom CSS" in the settings panel of your board.

>>5535 Shit, man, this is neat. thanks a lot

>>5489 So is anyone actually going to post it? I need to see the disaster area for myself.

>>5538 Too lazy to reupload it. >>>/404/12374

reporting bug found with webm upload: webm failed to upload but post goes through despite being empty. Examples: >>>/digi/4595 >>>/digi/4598 MP4 seems unaffected. There should be one webm and one mp4 attached to this post. Using Chromium 101.0.4951.67 (64 bit) official build.

>>5540 >MP4 seems unaffected. Nah, all file types are affected. This has happened to me with static images, gifs, videos and pdfs, usually when either my internet connection or 8moe's servers are shitting themselves.

>>5526 Kindly lurk more. The 2 things you asked for can be found in previous thread (or in BO thread for that matter >>1651 ) >>5522 >the pedophile is also soyjak posting kys disgusting subhuman

>>5542 >soyjak posting That Soyjack isn't mine, retard. I copy-pasted it from the shooter's blog because it was on-topic to what I was saying in this post about him being a faggot: >>5516 ; hello? > User Acidadmin requested deletion of the following files: d2fb55ffb37fc7faef6b87499255a6f604813eb787d067c79ae1aa17846936bb.

>>5543 Tranny says what?

>>5541 There is obviously an mp4 attached to that post >>5540, Anon. There should also be a webm. There is not. This is unrelated to Moldova problems in that it is reproducible on my end.

>>5540 >>5545 Upload the file that fails to upload somewhere else so that people can take a look at it.

>>5546 it is here: https://0x0.st/oab1.webm

What does the Bypass Check button do?

>>5548 Pretty sure it exists for sites that have optional bypasses. Since a bypass is mandatory sitewide here, it doesn't really do anything. I'm not even sure the frontend still supports it properly.

Seconding this idea >>2905 >>2928 it would be cool to have Post per Day on the boards list.

>>5550 already supported in jschan, just need infinity+lynxchan to update their plugins

>>5552 I'd also like PPD, and it's been on the to-do list for some time. Ideally, Stephen would add it directly, but it should be doable with an addon. It almost certainly won't come with 2.8, but it might be feasible for 2.9.

So, is 8chamoe going to be part of the webring anytime soon or did they expelled us forever this time?

Will you ever fix this issue? It's everywhere and it's been going on for a while. Posters from functioning image boards will see this nonsense and laugh at us. It's embarrassing. Please fix it already.

>>5557 It's already fixed on test. Just waiting for the next update. >>5556 We've offered multiple times to accomodate whatever the webring would want, but they've made it pretty clear that all of their complaints are just excuses, so I wouldn't expect them to peer with us any time soon. If you have a problem with that, express it to their admins and maybe they'll reconsider. Speaking of the webring, I should mention we will probably be temporarily disabling the addon soon. The existing one has a memory leak and isn't very maintainable. I've had plans to write a new LynxChan webring addon, but it hasn't been a priority. Since we're not really peering with anybody right now, it's going to be healthier for the server to take it down and put it back up later when it's actually functional.

>>5560 >all of their complaints are just excuses More like 8moe's fuck-ups have shown the true character of the site administration and that's not something that can be undone.

>>5563 >8moe's fuck-ups have shown the true character of the site administration What do you mean?

>>5564 He's just an angry pedo

>>5564 For one, Acid's complete inability to see that the pedos were always going to become a problem that couldn't be ignored (like they do on any site that lets them put down roots), and his glacier-slow half-hearted efforts to get rid of them once they did become a problem. He was warned many times by myself and others that things would turn out exactly how they've turned out, and how it could have all been avoided had they been shown the door immediately. >>5565 The opposite.

>>5567 Hotwheels ignored the "problem" for most of the time he ran the site, pic related being the last time he addressed your whining. It took the site being scammed out from under him by one of your ilk for anything to be changed. And even then it had nothing to do with how problematic hosting pedos is because it all happened the same day he lost control of the site, it was simply a case of Jim not liking something so he banned it, which he proceeded to do again and again over the years and is the entire reason why you're here and not there. In the case of this site the root of the problem was the BO of /b/ being a tripfag that refused to ban his fellow tripfags for ban evasion. The rule change was just a petty attempt by Acid to get back at the BO for disobeying him because otherwise they could've just gave him the finger and kept on as usual. Making rules against the only thing they were there to post was just a scorched earth tactic to kill the board and it clearly worked as you can see by /b/s PPH and the activity of this site plummeting back down to where it was at before the tripfags showed up here to circlejerk. Now I don't believe there was anything of value lost in getting rid of them but to say it has anything to do with some existential threat they posed to the site is just moronic. It's so obviously just a case of an admin swinging his dick around and arbitrarily changing the rules as a tool to get rid of users he doesn't like which I find ironic since getting away from that is the only reason why this site exists in the first place. Not that there's any shortage of irony on a site that calls itself 8chan which is supposed to be a free speech platform yet is full of people who are pro-censorship and has sitewide wordfilters in place designed to obfuscate certain discussion with of course some existential threat being the excuse to justify it.

>>5563 >>5567 The fuck-up wasn't the pedos; it was listening to the crybaby carebears at /v/ who incessantly complained about them (like you). So many said they wouldn't post on /b/ because of the pedos, yet now the pedos are gone and still none are posting there? Curious? There was never a pedo problem there; Acid is just skiddish because he retardedly signed for the site with his real information. The pedos were never a risk to the site; Admin was just looking for a good reason to get rid of them while trying to take none of the blame--and not for the first time, either >>5568 >In the case of this site the root of the problem was the BO of /b/ being a tripfag that refused to ban his fellow tripfags for ban evasion. I refused to ban anyone for ban evasion, because ban evasion bans are retarded. It had nothing to do with any sort of bias or "protecting the tripfags." For example, Zonz was being witch hunted for underage despite him never having said his age anywhere on the site, and I stopped that despite Zonz actively shit-talking me and trying to have me removed^^ It's the principal of the thing. The only thing the host cares about is that you have nothing on your site that they don't want to host. You don't need to witch hunt to keep them happy; just delete what breaks the rules. It's really that simple. The Admins themselves barely know what goes on in their site, and yet they claim that the host is watching everything the happens, tracking names to ensure perma-bans are sticking? LOL! My removal was only another step towards this site's anti-free speech movement, and a return towards the dying GG circlejerk that it was meant to be. Discussion of pedophilia is only allowed on /b/ board according to Acid (>>>/site/4721), and yet it is a banned topic on /b/ ; pretty clear message there^^ "It's not free speech if it's only the speech you like." > Making rules against the only thing they were there to post was just a scorched earth tactic to kill the board and it clearly worked Because not only the tripfags left, but most posters. Turns out not many /b/tards like posting on a rule-cucked board, especially when the majority of the users are ban-deleted. /b/ should be only the global rules, and even push the limit on the global rules (my opinion), yet the current /b/ has a plethora of extra rules and mods censoring even text posts that hurt their feelings? SAD! Activity begets activity, as it always was, and there is little reason to post here compared to elsewhere as it is-- Acid himself said he doesn't care about PPH or PPD, so that's just how it goes. Enjoy the censorship, or post to Kohlchan if you want something with a little more freedom of speech. Now add my banner: >>>/site/5341 ?

>>5569 Tripfags and attentionwhores in general are the only people you can effectively ban for ban evasion. Acting like it's some principled free speech position you hold is a blatant lie, you only took a stand against Acid's retardation the moment it started impacting your tripfag circlejerk because that's all you ever cared about. Your speech is in no way impacted by not being able to attention whore at the same time so if free speech was really your concern you could've just forced anon on the board to fix the problem and carried on with the valid excuse that you can't know whose ban evading and whose not. You didn't do that because your concern was circlejerking with your tripfaggot friends so instead you just spit in Acid's face when he told you to get rid of one of them for breaking the rules and as a result lost your board and caused the rules to change across the entire site to ensure you'd never have a place here again. Your impact on this site has been a purely negative one from beginning to end, from leading the herdniggers that have a vendetta against one of your tripfags to come here and incessantly spam non-stop for the entire time you were here causing the old BO to quit to making /b/ all about yourselves and driving off all the anonymous posters in the process to leaving a barren fucking wasteland in your wake that makes the board unusable for anyone else because thats the only way to get rid of you. Quit acting like you were some benevolent force that was victimized by the big bad admin, you're a self centered faggot that got what he deserved, only it happened at the expense of everyone.

>>5570 >Your speech is in no way impacted by not being able to attention whore at the same time so if free speech was really your concern you could've just forced anon on the board Lol? Free speech on the board could be preserved by taking away the ability for people to use names to express themselves? Are you retarded? >so instead you just spit in Acid's face when he told you to get rid of one of them for breaking the rules No one broke any rules, as I've explained before. Where in the rules does it state you're not allowed posting pictures of people you know in person? There was nothing wrong there to warrant a ban, and even still when Admin said he wanted it cut out I cut it out. No need for a ban, no need for a witch hunt, no need to even mention it again after it was nixed in its entirety, and yet here we are. And I made it clear 7 months ago that I don't ban, and neither Admin told me I needed to. And now after I've been removed, Codexx claims there is some mod manual that says where bans must be made, but he doesn't know where it is so we are waiting on Parias to point to it (2 weeks now, waiting, maybe so they can edit: https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/moderation.html to say it?). But, no, nothing there. It only became a problem when Admin wanted a reason to ban the pedos and to try and take no blame for it themselves-- > from leading the herdniggers that have a vendetta against one of your tripfags to come here There were here before I became a mod. In fact, they are a large part of why I pushed for Board Owner (so that I could ensure one of them didn't get it, as Darwin was also trying to claim it). I didn't lead them here; they've been here. Chai didn't want to deal with them which is why he started coming on less and less until the point where he just wanted to hand the board off to someone who would deal with them (after Vampy tried and failed in less than a day, losing his mod from Chai). So? >driving off all the anonymous posters I invited plenty here. Even if you cut literally every single name/tripfag out, the board was more active than it ever had been when I was running it. There is an obvious reason for that; can you figure it out? It's the same reason those anonymous posters have left to other boards-- >thats the only way to get rid of you. lol > Quit acting like you were some benevolent force that was victimized by the big bad admin Plenty of other places to post. Admin can run his site however he likes. Why should I care, really? It's evident by how quickly the board dies that they made the wrong decision (at least by view), but maybe they are happy with it? I even asked them both if they were fine with the level of censorship on the new /b/ (ie: deleting text posts that hurt the feelings of Vampy and the local retards); Acid said nothing, and Codexx said he didn't care. So this is how it is: back to being dead like when Rain was in charge of it. That has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with how the board is being ran right now-- Also, my removal was the decision by Parias who had been absent for like 5-6 months, and who had no idea what was going on from the thread he posted full of lies: >>>/site/5219 ; both other Admin agree the only reason for my removal was refusing to enforce bans. Parias is clueless at best, and a liar at worst--

>>5571 From pretending that not being able to identify yourself is somehow negatively impacting your ability to speak to pretending that you became a mod the moment you got here and that the herdniggers were here before then so it couldn't possibly be your fault it's clear you're just going to lie through your teeth about everything. Nothing you say can be taken at face value just like nothing Acid says can be taken at face value, you're perfect for eachother really, a couple of disingenuous avatarfags that constantly make a point to identify themselves on an anonymous platform and lie right to the face of anyone that questions them. I will admit though I was wrong in that screencap when I said you'd bend over backwards to accommodate any new rules thrown your way, at the time I assumed you'd stand for nothing at all when in reality the only thing you were willing to stand for is attentionwhoring on an anonymous imageboard. I'd rather have a BO that stands for nothing than one that will only stand for something that's totally antithetical to the point of imageboards so good fucking riddance either way. However you were also wrong when you said you'd relinquish the board as even when they "stomped the pedos" in an effort to get rid of you you still proceeded to hold onto the board for days doing absolutely nothing and causing the herdnigger spam to fill the entire catalog as a result. They had to take the board away from you by force and give it to someone who would at the very least clean up the spam rather than let it go to shit out of spite. What a surprise though that after you lost the board and left with all your tripfaggot friends that all the herdniggers spamming BRK threads left right along with you, it's almost like they were only ever here because of you in the first place.

The way you know a compromise is good is when it leaves absolutely everybody mad.

>>5573 You'll never make your core gamergate demographic mad just like Jim will never make his core qresearch demographic mad. You both pander to one group at the expense of everyone else and that's why you both fail at being 8chan. That the only people willing to set up shop in this shithole are people who are just as insufferable as you are is more of a reflection on you as a person than anything else. No principled person would ever throw in with you and that's why the only cronies you could find to take over /b/ are thin skinned pro-censorship faggots that will delete the posts of anyone who says something they don't like.

Is it possible to program these kind of polls? they are really useful to in several situation, for instance when deciding what movie anon is livestreaming this night. The screenshot is from another lynxchan based imageboard, so I suppose it won't be hard to build here: https://bandada.club/meta/res/5784.html

>>5572 >the herdniggers were here before then so it couldn't possibly be your fault it's clear you're just going to lie through your teeth about everything. Silvia's right about this part. He learned about 8moe's /b/ after one of the herdniggers (possibly Patch since he's the one who owns a spambot) flooded various imageboards with links to 8moe, including a porn-centric imageboard that Silvia frequented and that shut down days after the spam (which is one reason why Silvia didn't leave even after having his jailbait thread locked). >>5575 Ask them which add-on they're using for polling so it can be installed here without having to develop something from ground.

>>5575 If their add-on is open source we can consider using it. I know Acid really wanted polls, although I'm apprehensive just because they're incredibly easy to game.

>>5578 Asked the admin of that site, seems that he just wrote spaghetti code around lynxchan so his code is a whole mess, that's why he can't share it. Anyways it could be a cool feature, I hope it gets added someday.

>>5575 I grabbed his javascript file for it if the devteam wants to look at it. var poll_vote = function(element) { var clickedButton = element.target; var threadId = element.target.closest('div.opCell'); var postId = element.target.closest('div.postCell'); var postBoard = element.target.closest('div.opCell'); var selected_option = element.target.closest('div.poll').querySelector('input[name="poll_opt"]:checked').value; threadId = (threadId ? threadId.getAttribute("id") : false ); postId = (postId ? postId.getAttribute("id") : false ); postBoard = (postBoard ? postBoard.getAttribute("data-boardUri") : false ); selected_option = (selected_option ? selected_option : false ); var params = { action : 'report', categoryReport : 'test', reasonReport : 'test2', captchaReport : '', globalReport : false, }; var key = 'test' + '-' + '1'; params[key] = true; params["type"] = 'poll'; params["board"] = postBoard; params["threadId"] = threadId; params["postId"] = postId; params["option"] = selected_option; clickedButton.disabled = true; api.formApiRequest('contentActions', params, function reporteda(status, data) { var votedPostId = (postId ? postId : threadId ); if (data == 'Votado') { var curTime = parseInt((new Date().getTime() / 1000).toFixed(0)); var stored_votes; try{ stored_votes = JSON.parse(localStorage["pollVotes"]); }catch(error){ stored_votes = []; } if( Array.isArray(stored_votes) == false ){ console.log("Array no existe, creando..."); stored_votes = []; } var voteId = postBoard+'/'+votedPostId; var voteData = { voteId : voteId, option : selected_option, date : curTime } stored_votes.push(voteData); localStorage["pollVotes"] = JSON.stringify(stored_votes); var checked_icon =document.createElement('span'); checked_icon.style.float = 'right'; checked_icon.innerHTML = "✔"; clickedButton.replaceWith(checked_icon); alert('Voto Enviado'); } else { alert(data); clickedButton.disabled = false; } }); }; var pollFunc = function(e) { poll_vote(e); }; var pollButtons = document.getElementsByClassName("poll_btn"); var pollCurTime = parseInt((new Date().getTime() / 1000).toFixed(0)) for (var i = 0; i < pollButtons.length; i++) { var pollbtn = pollButtons[i]; var threadId = pollbtn.closest('div.opCell'); var postId = pollbtn.closest('div.postCell'); var postBoard = pollbtn.closest('div.opCell'); threadId = (threadId ? threadId.getAttribute("id") : false ); postId = (postId ? postId.getAttribute("id") : false ); postBoard = (postBoard ? postBoard.getAttribute("data-boardUri") : false ); var votedPostId = (postId ? postId : threadId); var voteId = postBoard+'/'+votedPostId; var duration = parseInt(pollbtn.getAttribute('duration')); var totalVotesSpan = pollbtn.parentNode.querySelector('.poll_time'); var timeLeft = ''; var hasVoted = false; var votedOption = false; var pollFinished = false; var stored_votes; try{ stored_votes = JSON.parse(localStorage["pollVotes"]); for(var ind = 0 ; ind < stored_votes.length ; ind++ ){ var voteData = stored_votes[ind]; if( voteData.voteId == voteId ){ votedOption = voteData.option; hasVoted = true; break; } } }catch(error){ hasVoted = false; } if(duration && duration > pollCurTime ){ const dateFuture = new Date(duration*1000) const dateNow = new Date() let delta = Math.abs(dateFuture - dateNow) / 1000; var days = Math.floor(delta / 86400); delta -= days * 86400; var hours = Math.floor(delta / 3600) % 24; delta -= hours * 3600; var minutes = Math.floor(delta / 60) % 60; delta -= minutes * 60; var seconds = Math.floor(delta) % 60; timeLeft = 'Quedan: '; if( days > 0){ timeLeft += days +' '+(days == 1 ?

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THE LAZY-LOADING WEBM ISSUE. UNTIL ITS FIXED THE THREAD IS UNUSABLE. Its been at least more than a month since the bug was discovered, whats happening here???

How did the attempts to get back unto the PLW webring go? I didn't hear anything about that but they seem like chill people who'd probably be fine with something like that Also try anon.cafe too Sportschan already has us on their webring for what it's worth, and that's a relevant argument against disingenuous site admins like zzz's I dunno about Smug but now that the /b/edo shit's been removed, maybe they're worth another try? Things to think about

>>5593 >whats happening here??? They do long release cycles, which isn't all that great considering the severity of some bugs. >>5594 See >>5433 >Admin Acidman made a tour of the webring in the wake of the /hebe/ board's removal, requesting that the site be re-added in good standing since the purported reason for our removal was gone. We were roundly rebuffed, and the site will be proceeding ahead with our future plans without them. I also remember reading they'll remove the webring addon altogether since it isn't working well on their end.

>>5595 >I also remember reading they'll remove the webring addon altogether since it isn't working well on their end. Yup. See >>5560 > The existing one has a memory leak and isn't very maintainable. >I've had plans to write a new LynxChan webring addon, but it hasn't been a priority. Since we're not really peering with anybody right now,

>>5595 >>5593 Some bugs require enough work that, if a site upgrade is approaching, it makes more sense to push it back and incorporate it into the upgrade instead of rewriting the system twice. You'll note that bugs we find shortly after an upgrade tend to be fixed much faster - that's because the next upgrade is a long way off.

>>5597 When is the next update dropping?

>>5598 tbh it was supposed to have dropped already, but the staff have been getting hit with IRL shit like crazy the past couple months and we're behind schedule. We're really hoping for June 1st, but this isn't a promise.

If I created a board and mark it as SFW is it possible to turn it into NSFW later?

I was trying to Post some images then I received a message that Said "RK9 is preventing One of your images from being uploaded" what does that mean?

>>5603 It means that somebody has posted an image with the same hash elsewhere in the board. R9K is poorly implemented in Lynxchan and keeps track of images on a board basis instead of separating by thread like most other imageboard frameworks do. The worst part is that not even deleting the post is enough to avoid triggering R9K because the post and its files remain in the server for various days or until a global mod or admin deletes them for real.

>>5602 Yes. When you're logged in to your BO user account, at the bottom of your board's index/front page you'll see an option to Moderate Board. There's an SFW checkbox option in there.

>>5602 Yes. >>5605 BOs cannot mark a board (N)SFW. It must be specifically requested. >>5604 Threadwise r9k is coming in the next update.

Still can't delete rules from my board. Click delete, get a "Connection failed." pop-up, rule stays unchanged. Editing and adding rules works fine.

popular Boards list shouldn't appear in login page. Please consider to tweak the topspan nav.

Tell Mark to tardwrangle his autists. I can't even complain in the /v/ meta thread about my bans because that's considered ban evasion, for expired bans. Goodbye.

>>5618 its a private board that can do what it wants don't you know.

>>5618 Actually no, >>5619 is right. I'll just stop using cake/v/. I was being an asshurt emotional faggot, and archiving & migrating my threads sounds like a pain in the ass.

>>5606 >Threadwise r9k is coming in the next update. Fucking finally.

>>5621 >I'll just stop using cake/v/ but thats exactly what they want you to do because you're a wrongthinker. using it to spout nothing but wrongthink and revel in their butthurt is the obvious choice here.

>>5623 It's not fun when I type out well thought out mutli-paragraph posts and they get nuked because wrongthink and then I accidentally refresh the thread and my exact thoughts are lost forever. It's even less fun when a fellow wrongthinker that I am talking with in the meta thread, not even fully agreeing with him about the wrongthink, and my posts are nuked while his stay up because I "evaded" a ban that expired more than half a day ago.

>>5624 you have to assert dominance over the janny so that they fear what you might do. make them thank the heavens that the meta thread is where you chose to post.

>>5624 banned for being a loli=pedo faggot Mark doesn't want that shit on his board, it's his rules. Keep crying.

>>5423 tried to upload a .mp4 video file. received an error message saying that file type is not allowed on the server. have .mp4 files been banned?

>>5630 test

>>5630 Works on my machine(tm). You might have had a bad encode that was being caught by the mimetype filters or something.

>>5630 You should upload the file to a hosting site (catbox, cockfile, anonfile, etc) and share the link here. I can see what MIME the server thinks it is.

>>5633 cringe

>>5630 The problem is that mp4's can be muxed in different ways and with a shitload of different codecs and not all combinations are good for browsers or websites. It's up to (You) to know what you're doing.

https://xhday.com/info/parentalcontrol revenge porn should be forbidden

Just a heads up there's a schizo poster on >>>/fur/ that seems to becoming more and more unhinged. I took him for a troll and then when it seems like he was serious just a crank but he seems to be ramping up the crazy now. See >>5570 According to him he even mailed a letter to Rand Paul. He also posted a textfile in a dropbox link (see second pic) containing the passage >I've tried to make amends for years. It's not happened, it will not >happen. The fandom does not want me in it, and I have reached a point >where I no longer with to be part of it. I don't want your forgiveness >anymore. I want you to go fuck yourselves. You want to hate me, I'll >give you a reason to hate me. I'm not sure if this is a "quitting the fandom" post, a suicide note, or the preamble to a manifesto. So just be aware of and monitor the situation.

>>5638 get a life sneed

I can't imagine it would help to say it here but i will anyhow: there's CP all over /v/ and one post on /b/.

>>5645 Yeah we got it earlier.

Firstly, does 8chan have a .webm board or something of that nature? I want a replacement for 4chan's /wsg/. Anyway, that's not why I came here. I've come to make a radical suggestion: If Mods = Gods, I think OP should be a Titan. I think OPs should be able to request from a board's managerial staff (i.e. BO and mods) janitorial powers over their own thread, for a given reason. If someone wants to make a thread for Non-Lewd depictions of a character, they should be able to have that without having to deal with any trolling spammer. People wanting a "white women" thread shouldn't be forced to tolerate spammed black women. If OP had janitorial authority, localised entirely onto his own thread, this wouldn't be a problem. My biggest concern regarding this idea is the OP abusing this to just turn his thread into a political safespace however that's why the powers have to be granted. Another concern is some kind of glitch that causes a mere OP to attain janitorial powers over the entire board. I'm convinced such a feature would not be implemented correctly at first. Also, janitors should be able to review what OP has done. If OP pruned or permitted a post in non-compliance with his stated reason(s), the janitor or mod should be able to strip OP of his power, reducing the thread to a normal thread, ripping OP out of his decadent nest and casting him out into the cold world that we know, and endure.

As I posted this on a bumplocked thread, I repost it here. It's a french translation of the LanguagePack.json. Would be nice to be added. I think it's pretty well translated but if a french speaking anon want to give a review it would be nice. Also, delete >>5609 please as this one is just a draft.

>>5647 If OP had jani powers over his own thread it would evolve into even more drama, retarded rules being enforced and circlejerks

>>5649 Yeah, I think it's a good idea but, now that I think about it, I think it has to be restricted to just dump threads (e.g. image-dump threads). I don't see much potential for drama in an image-dump thread where OP is Jani. Also, again, all managerial staff can see what OP has done and can determine whether or not he's abusing his powers. There's no way a responsible BO and mod-team would grant Jani-powers to someone that wanted to discuss an e-celeb or something. In fact, just in case the OP and BO may be friends and so OP may in fact get those Jani-powers through nepotism, it may be best to force an indicator that the OP has Jani-powers. Not even nepotism will allow OP to establish his circle-jerk.

>>5646 Is the onion still under DoS? I noticed it its very slow. I can provide some help and advice to mitigate that if you have somewhere I can contact you. If they are creating a bunch of circuits, draining bandwidth, making a ton of requests, etc. it should be simple.

>>5650 > I don't see much potential for drama in an image-dump thread where OP is Jani. Someone posta a picture OP doesn't like, OP deletes it, people complains, they derail the thread etc etc etc.

>>5651 I was scoping out out earlier and it doesn't look like a DDoS. We upgraded the site bandwidth by a factor of 10 a while back, after agreeing we could afford it. It just looks like the Euronet is getting fucked on again.

>>5654 >site users goes down 10 fold >increase site bandwidth 10 fold big 9v battery brain move

>>5646 >>5654 It looks like the CP spammer's current MO is that they're spamming a post and then immediately using archive. to archive it. They made at least 4 snapshots during their attack last night.

>>5656 Not the first time someone's done that. We just send the offending archive link to the archive.is admin and let him know a CP spammer is in it. They'll delete the archive when they see the notice and confirm it. It takes a mod all of 2-3 minutes to report any number of tainted archives (ctrl+v all the URLs), so its never a big deal.

>>5656 What a cunt.

>>5654 Where'd you get the money? site makes 0 revenue for you

>>5660 Split 3 ways, with all of us having decent jobs, it isn't bad. We just have to keep it to where if one of us can't afford to chip in for a month the others can cover it.

>>5661 Companionship is a nice thing.

Is the onion completely down for anyone else or just for me?

>>5663 Seems like it's having trouble. The server is fine, so it must be the network. A new route should be up soon, and that will hopefully fix it.

>>5664 If you know how, check how many tor circuits are open and/or active connections to the webserver. Could be a slowlowis which wont be obvious or using a lot of cpu/network.

I don't know what would need to be done but I want reverse image searching to let me search without needing to download the images. I hate it, makes it a giant pain in the ass.

>>5665 I'm going to forward the issue to Acid, since he's the one who configured Tor. I think he has some additional scripts to help it. >>5669 I'll look into the matter and see what needs to be done to allow this.

Does this site have an equivalent to 4chan's /wsg/?

>>5690 No. Videos with sound can be posted everywhere, so some boards prefer to have dedicated mp4/webm threads.

>>5670 God it's even worse now. I can't seem to get the onion address to load at all.

>>5708 I stopped using it months ago because it was just unusable. If anything, I'm surprised someone was managing to use it.

>>5423 Is there a guide that explains how the "Rules" part on your moderation dashboard functions?

>>5712 Just because the .onion version is down, that doesn't mean you have to access the clearnet version without Tor.

So I've figured out the problem with Tor. Because of the war in Euroland a LOT more people over there are using the Tor network to communicate, and the network is badly congested. If you try Redchannit it will be much faster than Tor Browser because it is hosted in a different datacenter but within the same country. It connects to the site via 3 short hops on Tor, whereas your Tor Browser from the US will make 5 long hops, which will lose a lot of traffic and be very slow. Redchannit's caching engine is similar to the one used on the main site and will also make it appear to load faster. The relevant point is, Tor is overloaded in that part of the world and there's nothing we can do about that.

>>5736 Odd, because during the past days Redchannit has been just as bad as Tor. The page loads after one minute, but getting the daily captcha and posting (with and without files) are completely fucked, with connection errors everywhere.

>>5738 I'm not saying Redchannit is good per se. But when I compared its connection to the server versus trying to connect directly with Tor Browser is was nearly twice as fast. Still slow and shitty, but twice as fast relatively.

>>5740 >I'm not saying Redchannit is good per se Neither did I. I'm saying that Redchannit has been experiencing the same problems of the main onion address and can't be used as an alternative as you implied in your previous post.

On what basis does 8moe reject or accept AV1 webms? Some of my webms go through while others don't and I have no idea why, mpv and FF/Chromium can decode them fine. This isn't even limited to webms I encoded myself over the years, it also happens to youtube rips.

Does .swf files allowed ? I can't post'em anymore. >A file had a format that is not allowed by the server. I have uploaded .swf files by the past (tested with the same ones return error).

Is it possible to have a new posts counter like pic related? I think it's quite useful to improve slow boards activity since I get notify every time one post is done and I can answer as fast as possible. The screenshot is from a lynxchan based board, so It's pretty doable. https://bandada.club/blog/

>>5751 +1 Good idea

Is it possible to allow .cbr and .cbz files? those are format for comics.

>>5746 MIME Type, primarily. Although encoding could be a contributing factor. If the file is being explicitly rejected as a format not allowed by the server then it's most likely the former; if it fails to generate a thumbnail, or the file is eaten entirely, then it's possible FFMPEG is failing to return a thumbnail due to encoding issues. If you have a file, upload it to a file upload service (catbox, anonfile, cockfile, etc) and then link it. I can examine the MIME and the file's structure to determine the problem. I should mentioned that AV1 is still a relatively new format with minimal browser support, and the spec is a moving target (or it was last time I checked), and I can't promise it will be bulletproof until the spec and FFMPEG decoders are. >>5748 All of them used to work, and now none do? We haven't removed anything from the allowed MIMEs list to my knowledge. I just tested an SWF file and it had no problems uploading. If it's selectively allowing some SWFs and not others, then I would ask the same of you: pick an upload service and link it here, stating the file does not upload but you believe it should. I can identify the problem that way. I'll speak to Stephen about some clearer debug outputs for MIME issues. >>5753 Yes. Can you use an upload service to send examples? >>5751 Their implementation relies on the webring plugin to check for new posts. Ours is currently disabled pending an investigation into memory leaks and potentially a complete rewrite. I will keep the idea on my to-do list, but it's not really feasible at the moment without a latests posts API.

>>5754 >Can you use an upload service to send examples? Sure <CBR: https://anonfiles.com/9086Pbn0y4/I_Hate_Fairyland_002_2015_digital_lax_CBR <CBZ: https://www36.zippyshare.com/v/kkRqBq2H/file.html

Why do I randomly get this bullshit No JS bypass validation blank code error that keeps me from posted for months before allowing me to post again? It doesn't seem to happen if I'm in a private window.

Do we have enough boards to host Hunger Games like we used to do back on old 8chan?

If it deleted most of the threads from my board accidentally Is it possible to make a rollback to recover them?

>>5761 Depends on when you deleted them and whether you did anything else with them. If you deleted the threads less than 3 days ago you can retrieve them from the trash. The Trash Bin is accessed through the [Manage Board] button > Trash Bin button > then select the threads > and finally click on Restore to bring them back. If you can't find the threads it means that the trash bin has already been emptied. In that case only administrators will be able to restore your threads from a backup of the site.

Forgot to mention, if this is something that has just happened, you can tell me the name of your board and I'll bring the deleted threads out of the trash bin.

>>5763 This is my board >>>/recuerdos/ I wanted to set 20 pages for my boards and accidentally put 20 threads only. I just checked the trashbin and it's empty. I changed the board configuration two days ago, and didn't notice my mistake until now.

>>5764 Well, fuck. This is one of the cases where only admins can fix it. My only advice is to contact them through the email listed on https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/contact.html or through Rizon IRC at #8ksux.

>>5764 >>5765 I looked into it for you, and there is some hope. We are installing a new backup server, so purging of deleted content was DISABLED for this short time. I think we can restore your board, so I will pass it to the other admin Codexx. He is the expert on that. Please be patient and we will try to fix it for you.

Hi, so, CP was just posted on my board, don't worry, I deleted it fast and permabanned the IP but how can I empty the trash bin?

>>5768 The trash bin is deleted automatically every few days, but globals can remove images from the servers even if they are in the bin. Give me a minute to purge them.

>>5769 Just checked, the pictures are gone now, thanks. Just for future reference, how can I delete the pictures in case of a CP attack? or just wait for the trash bin to empty itself or wait for a global vol to delete them?

>>5770 Local staff can unlink images from the site by pressing "Unlink files" in the Post Menu or [Unlink] while being in "mod mode" (available by pressing [Moderate thread] or on the "Latest Postings" page), but that only removes public access to the images. In my opinion it is better to delete the post normally and then ask a member of the global staff to remove the images completely, but it is possible that the admins will give different instructions.

>>5771 Global report so global staff can delete it from the server. Then ban and delete from your own board

>>5754 >FFMPEG is failing to return a thumbnail due to encoding issues. That makes it even stranger since I just tried to upload a VP9+Opus webm from late 2018 alongside a similarily old VP8 webm in >>>/v/617737 and only the VP8 webm went through. How old is whatever build/version of ffmpeg 8moe uses anyway? Even old 8chan in its final months with its snail-tier media server rarely had these seemingly random issues in regards to webms. webm in question: https://files.catbox.moe/w3qerv >AV1 is still a relatively new format with minimal browser support Its bitstream's been frozen for close to 4 years Christ where did the time go and every major browser supports it incl. Pale Meme.

test

>>5773 I came here earlier to report that I was having some issues uploading >>5775 to /fast/ but then I was hit by the exceeded quota issue and left and now I come back to find not only that the post went through but also that the webm uploaded correctly. God damn, go figure. Anyway, as I mentioned I couldn't upload >>5775 to /fast/ no matter what I tried. The file in >>5775 has reencoded audio and video streams with opus and vp9 which I did with ffmpeg, so there was absolutely no reason for it to fail to upload. Originally I just cut a webm downloaded from youtube with youtube-dlp without reencoding, let's see if that works now.

>>5778 Well that still didn't go through. youtube-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L34CDy0qiAs -f 247+251-dash -o video.webm ffmpeg -ss 09:56 -to 10:43 -i video.webm -c:v copy -c:a copy music.webm Here's the result: https://files.catbox.moe/f08t5f.webm I also tried reencoding only the video stream on the result but it didn't upload either. Looking over my shell history I did two more tests, one reencoding both audio and video and then another also wiping the metadata (with ffmpeg -map_metadata -1). None of them uploaded originally, but the last one (with the wiped metadata) managed to be uploaded in >>5775 after I tried here. Let's see if it uploads with the metadata included.

>>5779 Well it might just be that, even though the webm with no metadata also failed to upload for me yesterday one time. I also looked into the webm in >>5773 but it doesn't seem to have any metadata (correct link is https://files.catbox.moe/w3qerv.webm). I'm gonna copy the streams with map_metadata -1 and see if it uploads anyway, also uploading the original webm to see if it goes through here like it happened with mine.

>>>/site/5777 Retards, change to PPD ranking already. Sorting by users is pointless and not a reflection of the board's activity (especially considering TOR posters still don't count as a user there). Plus it's far easier to manipulate users than it is PPD-- As for "enforcing" whatever bullshit new rule this is, what, you expect Board Owners to be tracking everyone's IP now and if they make too many hops they should be banned for it? Why try and dictate how someone uses their own VPN?

>>5783 it should be a compound sort on [users, ppd].

>>5783 >He spammed his board into the top ten rankings using a bot that posted from a different IP to fake the UID count and saged every post into threads in the middle of the catalog so that the spam wouldn't be noticed until later. <"H.. how dare you make a ruling that could address this! I know, I'll portray it as something that will affect normal posters who have VPNs and just just the kind of shit that I did. That way I can make it seem like I'm not responsible for it!" No, this ruling was literally because of you, and literally targets the activity that you were committing. If people want to use /retard/ they're free to do so, and if it becomes popular on its own then that's great and I hope you have fun there. But you keep fucking around trying to stretch the Global Rules like this and the ice is getting thin. I don't think there's a global rule you haven't broken except maybe GR5. Chill the fuck out with it.

>>5788 Why not flag your post if it's because of me? And besides, I've been pushing for PPD rankings for months but /v/tards knew that would but /b/ at the top indefinitely. But they don't have to worry about that anymore, so we can use the better metric to track activity now? As for /retard/, again, just a testing board. I've even said there I have no intention for it to be used which is why I'm mostly posting off-site. If you think that was intended to advertise the board, don't you think I'd have at least faked the first page of the Index instead of burying posts in a manner so that it didn't flood the Front Page, which Codexx said could be a problem? Ordinary spam is a BO's purview, after all, and ~60 posts that appear no where is hardly a global issue^^

>>5789 why dont you speak fucking english so we can fucking understand you the admin unironically sucks fucking NIGGER dick you stupid cringe fucking retard if you dont have a fucking nigger dick to shove up his faggot ass then fuck off

>>5786 If they could figure out how to actually track users properly, maybe. But as it stands, it's pointless. TOR doesn't track even if you change IP and bypass, you still count as 1. I've tested several times and that's the case. I was hoping when they gave TOR-posters actual IDs it might fix, but StephenLynx isn't so sure that will be the case. But it's still a worse metric to use even if they can figure out how to fix it: which board is more active here-- >10 users, each with 10 posts >15 users, each with 5 posts The second board will be ranked higher despite the first being more active. Make sense? >>5790 I hear niggers are cheap in America. Send an address and I'll hire a few for Admin to enjoy. By the way, stay tuned for >>>/interracial/ to be the top board some time this weekend--

>>5791 Are you announcing your intention to spam a board? Really.

What happened to /zoo/?

>>5793 Nothing? When a board disappears from the top bar (which happens when other boards are more active than it) you still can access it from the board list (the 3 lines icon) or from a crosslink like >>>/zoo/

Thanks. I think it must have been temporary

Hey, the .onion service downtime is finally over. Looks like the FBI finally caught whoever they were after, and we can access the site safely again. Thank you!

>>5724 Still looking for a guide or a way to use the Rules tab on the moderation dashboard. Additionally, is there a way to choose whether my board is Safe For Work or NSFW without having to rely on the administration?

>>5800 >Still looking for a guide or a way to use the Rules tab on the moderation dashboard. The process is easy. 1.- Go to to your board's management page by pressing [Manage Board]. 2.- Press Manage Rules. 3.- Add any rule you want by typing it in the text box and pressing Add Rule. 4.- To edit a rule type in its respective box and press Edit. 5.- To remove a rule simply press its associated Delete Rule button. 6.- Your board's rules can be seen at https://8chan.se/your_board/rules.html, which is accessed through a link under the main posting window at the top of the board/thread.

What does this error message mean? How can I avoid getting it in the future?

>>5803 I honestly have no idea, I just know it has to do with the daily captcha. It's a bug that I've expired before, and the way to remove it is to clear the site's cookies to force another 24 hour captcha.

>>5423 Can you enable the .onion again? There is no way the feds are hunting people this frequently that you disabled it again already. I don't view the pedo content, or even post. I just want privacy.

>>5805 It's not disabled. It runs like shit because a) some faggot has been doing heavy DDoS attacks to the site through the onion address for days. b) the Tor network is congested in the "Slavic zone" (where 8moe's servers are located) due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Because of these external factors, the onion domain works well at certain times and becomes almost unusable at others, and there is really nothing left to do but wait for them to resolve themselves or hope that the admins come up with a magic solution.

Acid, is it possible to restore posts from a cyclical thread? I'm asking since I posted in the E3 Minus E3 thread that I noticed that a large chunk of the posts made during the Xbox/Bethesda stream after the ARK 2 trailer weren't archived. My post: >>>/v/622235 The archive of the thread in question: https://archive.ph/CNiqQ I'm interested to see if you can help considering that archiving these threads is an important thing for me and I really hate it whenever a large chunk of posts from a cyclical thread isn't saved.

>>5802 Aaaah I see now, it's just a way to list custom rulesets. I was being retarded and thought it was some sort of extreme word filter like automatically banning people who posted that content. Thank you anon.

>>5808 No, posts that expire naturally (threads falling off catalog, posts falling off cyclical) skip the trash bin. On the off chance a full site backup is taken while those posts are live, they COULD be restored... but the engine will quickly realize the thread is over the cyclical limit and purge them again. If archiving posts is a concern, it's generally recommended to not make the thread cyclical. Obviously this is up to board owners and not users, but you can generally lobby for a thread to be one or the other. >>5807 We're discussing options both long-term and short-term, but there is no magic bullet. The nature of Tor gives us little control over the network. We had to wait 2+ minutes for pages to load via the .onion when testing. That's not usable but there's also not a lot of options to fix it.

>>5803 >>5804 There is a cap of the maximum number of posts per hour. This is based on the max number of posts allowed before a bypass expires and the flood timer. We cannot set it directly, as it is derived from these two other values. Sometimes these values get updated without concern for the hourly limit. I'm not sure the other admins are even aware of the formula. I'll see if I can either override the limit or at least raise some awareness. That said, the limit should be fairly generous. If you're making 15+ posts per hour then you're probably on track to burn through your bypass in a few hours, anyways. But there are legitimate places you might want to make a burst of posts, especially during E3 season, so I definitely think we could improve this or maybe even eliminate it.

>>5807 Regional congestion in tor does not exist, because relay selection is bandwidth weighted, and not tied to any specific region. The circuit up to the rendevous point on both ends will be traveling through completely different countries/regions. So, it is just getting ddosed. At least I got my answer, thank you. Hopefully the admins fix that shit. A hidden service (.onion, not some shitty redditchan proxy) is essential for accessing the site.

>>5810 Well that sucks to hear that it's impossible to restore the posts that fell off the thread, but is it possible to change the maximum number of posts for a cyclical thread or have a unique limit for certain events like the E3 streams? If that's possible then I'm hoping that incidents like these will be avoided in the future when it comes those types of threads.

>>5810 >We had to wait 2+ minutes for pages to load via the .onion when testing. That's amazingly fast compared to the times that I've been getting on the onion.

>>5811 >there are legitimate places you might want to make a burst of posts Exactly, I got that error during the streaming night on >>>/ac/ and it was a bit annoying. >I definitely think we could improve this or maybe even eliminate it. Thanks, man, I'll be looking forward to it.

It would be really cool if you added a Oekaki add-on

We're giving serious consideration to shutting down the onion service for a period of time. >Its basically unusable as-is. >Tor users can visit the site on clearnet still. >That DDoS is still going and we're suffering it for no benefit. It's not a major impact but its the principle of the thing. It would be an extended temporary downtime, probably a week or two. We might look at branching out into i2p or one of the another anonymity networks as a replacement, or getting a different Onion address in the meantime. No final decision has been made, but I just wanted to let everyone know that there's ongoing discussion of the matter.

>>5818 I'm now even having problems posting through tor to the clearnet site now. I can't even seem to get images to go through.

>>5822 Try now.

>>5817 Yup

>>5823 It got better eventually. If you did something then thanks.

>>5818 https://lokinet.org

>>5827 based We should keep an eye on this project.

OK tell me this why can I reliably post on /test/ but when I go to another board I get "connection failed" every single time?

>>5829 Try a smaller file. The tor connection is congested so bigger files cause way more connection errors.

>>5818 The onion address works on my machine when connected to Ukrainian exit nodes for some reason. Is Mark in league with natto?

>>5831 Exit nodes are not used to connect to .onions.

>>5830 I've tried that and even just a simple text post hasn't been working but I think the problem is actually >>>/digi/ and not the rest of the site. I get connection failed every single time when I try to post there now. Does it have something to to with that fedora spammer?

>>5833 Change the theme to the default Yotsuba B if possible. /digi/'s custom theme is fairly heavy, and may be straining your already slow bandwidth.

>>5834 I thought that might work but nope. I just don't understand it.

this man told me to send this on the dark web

>>5835 Try to post on /404/.

>>5836 K. Keep me posted.

Can another attempt be made to get back on the webring? >>5818 Downtime of that long is not a good idea There should usually be no more than 1 day of downtime at the most usually, anything longer than 2 and you start to lose people long-term

>>5840 >Can another attempt be made to get back on the webring? Sportschan added 8moe and even displays the hidden boards, but the rest of the webring has this site blacklisted. That's why the addition to Sportschan's list wasn't reflected in the other sites. Is not that 8moe isn't trying to be in the webring, is the various webring members who doesn't want 8moe in their lists.

>>5837 Had no problem with /404/ and that was with the CSS turned on too.

>>5841 But why?

>>5843 Autism and drama that date back for various years, more than I could describe in one post. But in general it can be summarized with the following points: – The owners and users of several of those sites hate Mark (owner of 8/v/) and Acid (co-admin of 8moe) for personal reasons. – The relation that 8moe has/had with pedophilia (especially when /hebe/ was active) scares the users of some of those sites – The extension is fucking garbage and the 300+ 8moe boards flood the lists of every site that adds it (can be checked by visiting sportschan.org) – Some users feared that 8moe would "cannibalize" their communities by having "a more recognizable name". – Underage b8 engaging in autistic tribalism (this was more noticeable some time ago, especially among the various /v/ and /b/ of 8moe and webring).

>>5841 Did they ever remove us?

>>5842 I had no problem posting in /digi/ either. This is my current setup: >latest Tor version >used 8chan.moe instead of the onion domain >Javascript whitelisted for that domain (and the onion) >opened the thread using the [Last] button instead of the [Reply] one to save time and bandwidth I'm now trying to upload a picture. >>5845 Probably not. They always have been neutral towards everyone, even during cross-site drama.

>>5846 I've partially troubleshot the issue. I can post on /digi/ through tor only on the rare occasion when tor gives me a non black "000000" ID. When I have a typical tor ID it blocks me every time with a connection failed. As for the WHY I don't have a clue.

>>5847 Oh I see. Yeah anon the problem is you are just too gay. Yeah happens sometimes. See what you wanna do is not have gay sex for about a week or so. Should work fine then. If you still have problems eat a slim jim. The ultimate heterosexual snack.

Yeah there's something really fucky going on with posting on /digi/ for me. A few days ago I had the same kind of problem on /v/ too but it cleared up by itself. This /digi/ thing is really persistent. I wonder if that fedora spammer has done something to the site?

>>5849 Have you tried turning your cock off and then back on again?

>>5850 Why are you making these weird spammy responses?

>>5851 Stop talking to yourself dude.

>>5627 >You engaged in wrongthink Sorry, I forgot /v/ was tumblr's latest incarnation.

>>5847 >>5849 I still don't know how to fix this.

>>5843 ZZZchan hate Mark for all the shenanigans when he was still on the payroll of Jim Watkins, also for deleting another /v/ before being offered 8chan's, thus by proxy they hate 8chan Smug are scared about the pedophiles that used to infest some boards that are now either dead or hidden, plus they lament that Acid did nothing to better integrate the webring plugin onto the board list so their sites are being flooded by 8chan boards but the same does not happens on 8chan with their own boards, they are the most open about adding 8chan but they're not satisfied about the way things are Anon Cafe try not to be involved in drama too much, especially ever since the /christian/ and /k/ boards got leaked on soyjack forums Alogs/Julay is an embarrassment of a site with barely any active board and a non functioning UI for moderators so they're really not an issue >>5844 >– Some users feared that 8moe would "cannibalize" their communities by having "a more recognizable name". This is not really true, it's more that an user can easily create a new board on 8chan, claim to be the admin and get Acid to backup their entire board from the webring site to 8chan, or use external tools themselves and achieve the same effect. Thus if both 8chan and the webring site have the same board name, and users see that 8chan is a more active site as a whole, they'd probably go there instead of the original site. By the way I know I am repeating myself but is there a way to manually change a board from SFW to NSFW and vice versa? Or a way for spoilered pictures to be kept out of the homepage?

>>5423 I want to have the confirmation for my account in order to create a board, try all the ways but they have not answered.

>>5876 >is there a way to manually change a board from SFW to NSFW and vice versa? Nope, you have to ask an admin about that.

Minor Announcement We're pleased to announce that 8moe now has a completely functional automatic backup system running on our own independent hardware. The system backs up the site's media content and Lynxchan databases to a quadruple-redundant array of 8TB storage drives, and updates those backups 5 times per day. A secondary, failsafe backup supports the main one to ensure that we don't lose the data if one or more of the backup drives die. It also automatically diffs deletions to make sure that no errant CP or other bullshit finds its way into the backups. The system runs on its own independent server that we colocate on our own hardware far away from the main site, so even if 8moe's datacenter gets literally nuked by Russia then we have everything needed to begin restoring the site immediately. This also guarantees that, in the event of any data loss from a bug or catastrophic damage to the server software such as from a hack or virus-type event we would lose at most a few hours worth of content. This system has been running in the background on its "shakedown cruise" for the last week and has passed with flying colors. Previously our backup solutions have been rather ad-hoc. Typically pulling data onto smaller side-project servers that really weren't set up for that kind of operation. Now we have a beefy rig, and this site just got a whole lot safer.

>>5888 Neat. Nice trips btw.

>>5888 But how do you know it really works? Quick install this virus on the server. THE ULTIMATE LOGIC BOMB

>>5888 Good to hear that 8moe is russian nukes proof, man.

>>5888 (checked) Nice. Here's a banner to celebrate.

>>5893 And then you woke up

>>5892 I love it. Added!

>>5876 >claim to be the admin Did you think this through? All that needs to be done to verify the claim is have the admin capcode on their own webring site. Your board poaching imposter scenario is dumb. I can't believe you made me solve a fucking captcha to post this.

>>5900 Ironically the Hispas arrival delayed getting the backups going (and a couple other small projects. And the 2.8 upgrade. lol). It would have taken a little longer yet, but Admin Parias came through with the last bit of money for the hard drives and let me bump up finishing the backups by 2 weeks. We can all breathe a lot easier now that this is done.

>>5896 >Take the hint, liar. There can't be a single large community here dude this place is dead.

I'm not sure if I should post this here, in another thread, or make a new thread, so I apologize in advance if this isn't the right place for the following suggestion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to what I've read, to move threads from board X to board Y you have to do the following: 1. The manager of board X has to ask permission to the manager of board Y (I guess through the meta thread or through email). If it's a moderator, then I guess it has to tell the board administrator. 2. If the Y board manager agrees, then later you have to ask the chan administration to move it. 3. Finally wait for the thread to be moved. I think that the process could be speeded up a bit by adding an additional "Request transfer to another board" option in the post menu, which would work as follows: 1. When someone (any user) clicks on that option, it is asked to which board the thread/post should be moved to (obviously checking that the chosen board exists first). 2. The managers of both boards will receive a request like this: ** Manager of board X: "A request has been made to move >>4567894 to board >>>/Y/. Do you want to accept this transfer?" ** Y board manager: "Someone has requested to transfer >>>>/X/4567894 to this board. Do you want to accept it?" 3. The transfer would only be completed if: ** Both managers¹ accept the request, otherwise it will not be realized. ** Board Y is marked as abandoned so it would be enough for the board X manager¹ to accept the request and vice versa. The idea arises because I have noticed that the administrator and moderators of >>>/hispachan/ have closed threads that do not correspond to the board asking the participants to go to discuss elsewhere. I suspect that they must be too lazy to contact the appropriate person and it is easier for them to do it instead (or they just don't understand the procedure to move threads to another board). ---- 1. Instead of the managers they could also be the moderators of both boards.

>>5905 Your understanding of the issue is correct. Since boards are owned by the board owners, their permission is required to move threads. It's simpler in cases where one BO owns both boards, since they can give permission both to send and receive. I was actually in the middle of drafting a temporary solution. I'm sending an e-mail to the owners of Hispa boards offering to let them opt-in to letting globals move threads when reported. Long-term, I am actually planning to propose the same thing you did to Stephen Lynx: a "transfer request" queue. I cannot give an ETA on when such a feature would be available, but LynxChan 2.9 is about 4 months out, and that would be the earliest we could roll something out.

>>5906 >I'm sending an e-mail to the owners of Hispa boards offering to let them opt-in to letting globals move threads when reported. The indexes are not updated, so these boards should be notified: >>>/hispachan/ >>>/arepa/ >>>/hisrol/ >>>/mex/ >>>/col/ >>>/ac/ >>>/draw/ for the threads that the /art/ists were making before opening their own board. >>>/vt/ >>>/arte/ >>>/esp/ >>>/hm/ >>>/hispol/ >>>/pe/ >>>/sc/ (optional) >>>/cc/ >>>/choroy/ Technically it is not part of Hispachan, but it would be the closest thing to a regional board of Chile. >>>/phi/ Same as above, but seems closest to old Hispachan's /c/ (science) and /hu/ (humanities) boards.

Acid apparently the .onion address is apparently blocked now on Archive.Today. >>>/v/627252

>>5888 >beefy rig

>>5915 We're aware. Best guess its a holdover from the "pedo keyword attack" incident. I heard that some TOR site aggregators like Hiddenwiki had listed us as a CP site because of that shit, so it would make sense that someone would ask them to block us. We've reached out to the archive admins to try and clear it up.

>>5917 Pretty sure it's because you didn't nuke hebe in its crib

>>5919 But then he'd have to take responsibility for something, much easier to just shift the blame on someone else. /hebe/ wasn't removed because he wanted it, it was because the BO quit. /b/ wasn't nuked because he wanted it, it was because the big bad service provider told him so and that's that. God help the mexicans because with this sites track record they'll be getting deported any day now. Or maybe an 8kun style rebrand is in order only this time we're selling out to the mexicans instead of the schizophrenic boomer republicans. All you'd have to do is sell dragon ball Z merch and rake in the dough. What about /v/ you ask? Fuck /v/, delete /v/.

Could anyone give me aquick summary of the /hebe/ and /b/ drama please? I was there but didn't really paid a lot of attention to it, I was mostly on /co/ and /v/ only around that time.

>>5921 Sure, I was a volunteer on /b/ when it happened. See, we had the child diddlers contained to a singular thread which was set to cyclical to stop them from leaking onto other threads, every posterior thread they made was merged with it and any pictures of real children deleted. But naturally, pedos are the kind of people that you can't give a inch cuz they'll take a mile. And so they did, constantly trying to test the boundaries of what was allowed by posting pictures of children, which then devolved into them spamming not just /b/ but also /v/ with children pictures as well as ceepee. This caused them to try and make their own board, /hebe/ after then infamous 8chan one. But since Acid didn't allow them to post real pictures of kids, it slowly but steadily died since these vermin don't want to discuss anything, they just want to share kids and make lewd remarks. Eventually the BO tried making his own site, which failed miserably and died. As /hebe/ was left abandoned and constantly spammed by bad faith posters requesting CP, it was permanently locked. It should have never gotten that far, but alas libertarian beliefs got in the way.

>>5922 This (and the deletion of their cyclical because it was impossible to control) caused them*

>>5921 Pedos came here and appealed to free speech for a place to talk. One of them created the /hebe/ board, basically underage jailbait like old 8ch once had. We let them have the board but with a restriction on no evocative images or other content that could get us in trouble via DOST and other dumb bits of law. They didn't like that, but they stayed and we allowed them to stay. That would have been the end of the story, except the board became a magnet for CP (big shocker there, but we had held out a little hope). Eventually global mods were doing more content removal there than the board's own staff. Some anon there wanted to get out from under the Global Rules so they went and set up their own alt-board called smolbox, which proceeded to get nuked off the internet for, you guessed it, CP. When the board owner of /hebe/ disappeared and abandoned it we locked the board and chalked it up as a failed experiment. Part of the fallout from this was some of the pedos from /hebe/ moving to /b/. Some of them had already put in a lot of effort spamming the site with pedophile "key words" trying to draw the attention of search engines and government bots in a pretty naked attempt to get the site shut down. /b/ became a pedo hangout until the BO there agreed to keep such discussion confined to a single cyclical thread, and to keep that thread clean of CP and underage lewds. And he did good for a while. But like before, more CP started getting posted and the BO refused to crack down on it when asked, so now /b/ became a CP problem. The situation came to a head when we received 2 host complaints, our first ever, over CP and both aimed squarely at the /b/ thread. We gave the board owner the option to either crack down and fix it, or tell them to leave. They left. The /b/ BO was already in the hotseat for letting the situation get so bad, and he wound up losing ownership of the board after a final warning and a final fuckup on his part - refusing to ban somebody who had earned a sitewide perma for related behavior. Since then angry pedos occasionally drop in to spam and whine. In a total reversal of reality like >>5920 there, they blame everyone but themselves, try to gaslight the staff, and try to act like they were somehow bullied or treated unfairly despite us covering for them in the face of angry anons and giving them many chances to clean up their act before finally saying enough. Their inability to take responsibility for their actions or exercise any level of restraint in their posting or reporting caused their undoing, and don't let any butthurt torposter and his army of (1)'s tell you otherwise.

>>5921 /hebe/ has been explained, but perhaps more on /b/ can help understanding. A year ago the board was owned by Chai. Who had continued his predecessors policy of a single pedo cyclical thread wherein no illegal content could be posted, but where they could endlessly talk about how much they wanted to fornicate with minors. But then he grew tired of the gig and left. One of the vols (a pedo himself) was made the new BO. Initially he continued the same policies for about a month, then got rid of the cyclical and made the whole board basically a pedo free for all. All the regular posters left. And it become a cesspool. By january it was more or less unmoderated, well locally anyway, and the globals were the sole source of content moderation. One by one they got burned out looking at cp all day long. Then the major break. In april? Or maybe it was February one of the pedos began posting pictures and video of his daughter, then got her to record messages saying hi and I love you and stuff for the pedos on the board. She'd say their names (they were all namefags) and the one global left alerted everyone to the fact that we were now hosting a child groomer, and that was only ever gonna end one way. So the BO (a ruskie tranny) was told to either ban the guy or quit. He didn't believe in bans he said and that's why globals were doing all his work. And then he said he wouldn't quit or moderate. So he was fired and replaced. He then made several new boards which were instantly closed down (except one where he promised to actually mod but for the record he still doesn't) and now routinely surfaces on a daily basis to post cp and bitch about how unfair it is that we follow the US law. I guess if we got shut down he'd be happy. The new BO of /b/ instituted an absolutely no pedos allowed policy. Not even discussion. The board was never nuked. But all the pedo threads were removed. If you check you will see it still has a full catalog. Since then old anons have been trickling back and it is returning to where it was almost a year ago to this day. And that's the story now. Oh and also with the pedos gone there was a global drive and the staff is once again more or less full up. Any questions?

>>5924 >Their inability to take responsibility for their actions or exercise any level of restraint in their posting or reporting caused their undoing Viewed in the context of how many men are raping women you would come off like a rabid feminist who thinks men needs to be held to account for every rapist that exists. You can't solve rape by teaching men not to rape just like you can't solve people posting lawbreaking content by teaching them not to. If this expectation could be met then you wouldn't need moderators in the first place because everyone would agree not to break the rules. You just set everything up for failure by creating expectations that couldn't be fulfilled and then act like you gave it a chance when they can't miraculously make everyone on the board fall into line and agree not to break any of your patently retarded rules. When it comes down to it this post of yours is just a long drawn out admittance that you did it because you hated having to actually moderate your site and thought you wouldn't have to this way. Well how did it work out for you, is your CP problem solved now? Or are you still having to regularly delete it just like 8kun has to with no one even using it anymore?

>>5924 >more CP started getting posted and the BO refused to crack down on it when asked, Worth mentioning that, if this is how you phrase the sentence, that you mention you're not talking about actual CP, which was always deleted. I never refused to crack down on rule-breaking content; what I refused was to add more to what you consider rule-breaking content. Half of Instagram photos were already considered too lewd for 8moe, so being more stringent would be pointless. I never refused to do "my job" at any point, I just refused to ban your progressively worse restrictions on posting-- >>5925 >By january it was more or less unmoderated I've had more mod actions, on average, than all of the globals at every point of my board control. As I've said before, many mod actions (unlinking files from the mod view) don't even show up in the logs, but ignoring those I still had more uptime on the board at every point^^ >Then the major break. In april? Or maybe it was February one of the pedos began posting pictures and video of his daughter This was happening since day 1 and breaks no rules. Globals only started to care about it when they were looking for a reason to ban the pedos from the board, knowing I wouldn't enforce the bullshit permanent ban they placed on that user (who, again, broke no global rules)-- >And then he said he wouldn't quit or moderate. Where did I say that? Even minutes prior to being removed I was moderating the board as can be seen by the logs-- >He then made several new boards which were instantly closed down None of my boards have been closed down, and all of them were made months ago. What are you on about? Are you talking about the perfectly wholesome SFW Tiktok board? Because that one wasn't mine--

>>5930 > I never refused to do "my job" at any point, I just refused to ban your progressively worse restrictions on posting-- As a guest on the site, that was your job. So yes, you failed. Miserably.

>>5931 As board owner, I was to uphold the global rules, which I've always done. Admin decided to redefine what falls under the global rules with the excuse that the host/registrar was unhappy (which is an obvious excuse, but pointless to argue in either case). The "ultimatum" was that I start enforcing the new definition of the rule or /cat/ would have to find a new home. I chose the latter as I felt the posting rules were already becoming too censored as it was, and Admin used that opportunity to globally ban posting minors entirely (which I expected but it was not discussed). So, yes, I did my job^^ As for the refusal to ban people, I was open about that since month 1. Literally. Both Codexx and Acid were aware that I didn't ban or enforce bans because I told them in the IRC when we were talking about it during my first month. I mentioned the mod manual didn't say I was expected or required to ban and they neither had a problem with that then nor have they updated the manual since--

>>5925 >>5924 >>5922 Thanks for the detailed explanation.

>>5930 >I rulecucked harder than any of you, how could you betray me? Let this be a lesson in only giving your allegiances to the right people. How naive are you to believe this was some kind of what goes around comes around situation and that you'd be rewarded for bending over backwards to appease them?

>>5938 >reward I had 8 months of enjoyment from this site's /b/ board before it died, so what more reward are you thinking there? Now the /b/ posters are just elsewhere and nothing has change; all is well, and I expect nothing--

I would like three things: 1) Infinite scroll on the first page 2) One-button thread hiding 3) Smaller or more uniform image embedding

I had a guru meditation error today for the first time in months.

So >>>/digi/ just blocks tor some how then?

Is there a way to make 4chanX compatible with this chan? Also, can board description be double? like, 500 instead of 250

>>5965 >1) Infinite scroll on the first page Nah, that would be useless, since most boards don't have activity beyond first page. >2) One-button thread hiding I bet you can work this out with the custom JavaScript module. >3) Smaller or more uniform image embedding What do you mean exactly?

>>5968 There's some fuckery going on. Using the .se domain on a new session I could post just fine (>>>/digi/9564), but after being on .moe all day I got connection error even though I can post on other boards just fine (e.g. >>5971). The console says the POST request for the new post returned a 403 error.

>>5972 Oh good so it's not just me.

>>5969 Board description has doubled to 512 characters. A lot of 4chanX features are built into the site. If you have particular features you want that aren't, we do take suggestions.

What the fuck is with this stupid ass layout affecting the site? What was wrong with the last overboard design?

The site UI on mobile is having a bug, the top bar took half the screen, on /v/ the top bar will continue taking half the screen as you scroll down whether is on thread, or catalog. on this thread however and only on this one the top bar will stuck on top of thread (still taking half the screen) and wont follow as you scroll down but it will pop up when you scroll up. Also I need to solve 2 captcha to post

>>5423 Hey guys, the new update works really great. The CSS looks better, with some display errors gone and board loading is a lot faster now. Congrats & Top Job!

Good job on the update, im enjoying moepheus. Only bug i noticed is sometimes the thread auto-update turns off, but its fixed wit hswitching it off and on again.

Pictures under spoilers aren't displayed properly. If a picture is under a spoiler, clicking on it will show its thumbnail unless you open them in a new tab. No problem with picture without a spoiler.

>>6043 did u try ctrl+f5

>>6046 Yep, it still won't work for spoilers.

>>6047 ya it dont work for me either

>>6048 Ah yes additionally Gallery view doesn't work either for me. It shows on the right side of the screen but once clicking on a thread it won't be loaded at all.

>>6049 *side catalog sorry, gallery mode works

>>6049 >>6050 Found the issue. Adding it to the list. Expect a patch soon.

>>6054 Thank you so much A few other issues: -the Live Updates autorefresh sometimes glitches out after posting in a thread and won't autorefresh until you explicitly press the button; -gallery mode won't play back webms -not sure if it was during some server maintenance but at some point it became really hard to load a page, pictures won't download and the server would randomly throw errors related to Captcha not being able to be refreshed (keep in mind that it was on a different board and without me having posted anything yet)

Nice job breaking the board guys, can you go through your code and make sure places where you have a button have their type correctly set to "submit"? It's breaking some board management pages.

So when's official hunger games? Extra funnier if its done both in english and broken ass google translate spanish.

>>6093 >Hunger Games FUCKING THIS I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait for it, it's going to be full with memes and banter.

>>6093 Would be nice, but even just a raffle would probably be more efficient. I remember the hunger games being spammed to hell and back. Anyhow, I noticed that the spoiler pictures still DO work, but only when it's the only picture being posted (see GG thread for an example). When there's multiple pictures under spoiler it seems the site can't resize the page properly.

>>6103 > but even just a raffle would probably be more efficient. Its not about being efficient, its about fun.

Is this site deliberately excluded from Infinity Cup?

>>6107 No, we aren't, /ac/ is playing on the next cup.

Bro, the server just got down for a couple of minutes, what happened?

According to the server logs it looks like the post markup parsing subsystem (LateX, code tags, redtext, etc. etc.) threw an unhandled error and Lynxchan gagged on it and died. Gave me a bit of a shock too. I'll keep an eye on it until Codexx fixes it, I've already notified him.

>>6126 >>6127 We discussed this a bit in the past. It's a known issue with so far an unknown cause as far as I know. >>6134 I'm pretty sure it's not the first time it's happened.

>>6136 You're site a shit and keeps going down periodically.

>>6137 >>6142 Codexx put several error prints into the problem system to get it diagnosed. In the meantime I set up a little heartbeat checker that should reboot the site within 1 minute if it crashes and dies like that again. Hopefully. I ran out of time writing one and stole one off of ShitOverflow to use until we get this fixed.

>>6143 Everyone complaining about the ubdate that broke the site (me included) so I would like to say something positive : Keep up the good work fellas and thanks for maintaining this space on the internets.

>>6144 Thank you anon. We're so used to being bitched at that it feels nice to be praised at least once in a while. Unlike mods we don't even do this for free, we pay every month for the privilege.

You guys know about the issue since the update with some images only expanding from thumbnails to slightly larger thumbnails, right? I assume so because it's pretty obvious and a lot of people have mentioned it in other threads, but I don't see any post in this thread bringing it up.

>>6160 >>6012

>>6161 Ah, I didn't notice there was a separate thread for the upgrade.

Did you change the way the users are counted? because I don't remember we were this much people

>>6164 We didn't change anything related to UIDs. I asked Mr. Lynx if Lynxchan 2.8 did anything that might alter their results and he just told me no. Maybe the rest of the Hispachan users weren't being accounted for yet due to the maintenance downtime or something. Either way, WEW.

>>6166 All me btw.

>>6166 Not only the hispanic boards but also /v/ increased radically in numbers so I highly doubt it was just hispachan users not being accounted becaose of the maintenance. You might check out this thread >>>/hispachan/21674 some people noticed the increase in numbers happened after some website called "kakoto" started redirecting to 8moe/hispachan, and according to >>>/hispachan/22609 there's something fishy going on in regard to that site. I hope it's nothing, but still, quite weird that this happened after kakoto started redirecting to 8moe.

>>6174 >when trying to reload the page it redirected me to a different page with gay porn of Asian elders >up until then everything was normal kek

It might be related to this, too: https://allchans.org/2022/06/26/8chan/ The Overchan did a really nice writeup about us the other day and we're notied as the second most popular site after 4chan, which would have the right timing for this UID buff if a bunch of people saw it and decided to visit. Its times like this I wish Lynxchan tracked incoming referer's, just so we could see where the spike was coming from. But privacy is still important, so I get why Stephen never added that. That and guessing is kind of fun too. Whatever the cause, I hope it sticks around. My personal goal has always been to get to a consistent >100pph and >1000 UIDs. Anything above that is gravy, but those are my metrics for "the site is truly successful."

>>6176 >I wish Lynxchan tracked incoming referers Can't you do that through cuckflare? >Whatever the cause, I hope it sticks around. My personal goal has always been to get to a consistent >100pph and >1000 UIDs. Anything above that is gravy, but those are my metrics for "the site is truly successful." Are you gonna fap to it if it does?

>>6177 implying I haven't already, lmao >Can't you do that through cuckflare? Only with a paid subscrip. We don't like CF anyway and just use them as a free layer. I'll be damned before we pay them anything unless its that or total chanocalypse.

>>6176 >My personal goal has always been to get to a consistent >100pph and >1000 UIDs. Anything above that is gravy, but those are my metrics for "the site is truly successful." Aspiring to the great heights of 8kun are we?
