/pol/tards killed what could have been a good site.

Seems like it's gonna be down for a while. Does /tech/ have a bunker?

>>4
You can try one of the /prog/ spinoffs in the meantime

よし！次は、神になれるか

nice image
bad thread

>>4
I thought 4taba is where we go in such a situation. At least we said so way back.

If I‘m wrong correct me by the way, I might have missed something.

>>7
/pol/ went to 2chen, prepare for nukes lmao

>>7
I don't remember people mentioning it, although I'm sure some people posting here browsed /tech/ too. I guess they're scattered between here, lainchain, and 4/g/.

Is this a filter?

Should 4taba advertise a bit so we can get more traffic?

>>15
Maybe on the dead spinoffs

Just dont get the teens here and its good

>>14
Dunno but its smug aura mocks me, I don't like it.

>>18
You and me both, brother.

So where all the 8/jp/sies at?

>>15
No. We have enough traffic for the board to have a new post every few hours or so, which is the ideal for a web community. It's impossible for a community to have any cohesion once it gets too big. This applies to real life society by the way, which is why things are as bad as they are

It's a little slow (I didn't wait for it to finish loading the images, I think they're hosted on a second domain), but it's still up. The site's name provider decided to suspend 8ch's domain as well, so at the moment it's basically in the same situation 4taba was in when we had our DNS troubles.

>>21
I don't know. I'd rather like a few more people so we can have more proper threads on /v/ or /a/.
A couple posts an hour and at least a hundred regular visitors would be nice.

>>23
Where do you wanna advertise btw?

>>20
Well I‘m here at least..

I'd like to have an utterly lawless online discussion forum where nothing is banned and everything is allowed.

But this isn't the case. Instead, I live in a prison. A CIA nigger runs my prison.

>>26
It's a nice thought, but eventually either bots will show up and spam the site to death, or a handful of dickheads start shitting everything up by intentionally disrupting discussion and flooding the site with bullshit

The best balance is to go libertarian, having just enough rules in place to make discussion actually possible, but not much more.

>>27
Sounds like minarchism.

>>20
I still miss it. I hope it's back soon.

>>29
why not just stay here?

>>9
More info on this?

>>31
on what, chen2?
It's a board that popped up about 3 months ago that runs meguca. Before 8ch closed there was mostly spam, kpop, and some video games generals. Now they have a /pol/ too but I don't know how active it is, I assumed everyone went to endchan

>>32
Checked it out and god that site is fucking cancer

>>9
I thought chen2 was pretty cool at first, but the creator just kept inviting shitty communities. First it was kpop generals and /trash/ (which i guess arent to bad), but then he decided to bring in /r/CringeAnarchy and now 8/pol/. It used to be pretty comfy on its /jp/ board, but now I don't think I would ever want to use the site.

>>34
I hope the same thing doesn't happen to 4taba one day. /ni/ is the only spinoff where I can still take it easy.

>>32
There's also nein and libreland. end/pol/ always seemed it was populated with paranoid users that unironically want a race war.
>>34
It was always destined to be cancer. I remember when they spammed it everywhere; in their q&a thread on /tech/ it was clear they had no idea what quality was.

This is really making me antsy. /jp/'s like my home on the internet, I'd refresh it every few minutes to see whether there's any new posts. Obviously there never are, but it never feels like a complete day to me unless I've checked it at least ten times.

>>34
I never got the issue people had with /trash/. It's basically just a better /d/ than /d/.

My issue with the issue is that it's drawing the worst sort of attention to 8chan. If/when it comes back online, it's going to get a massive influx of new users, all of which are unironic stormfags trying to mobilize the site.

How many times was this site advertised on /qa/?

a lot, its nice and underutilized

>>39
Depending on which boards you frequent you might not see them. The people posting on 8chan's twitter left me puzzled, the site is so fragmented I never noticed all these Qanon people.

8chong was good for loli and occasional niche boards with cool CSS. The only good small spinoff chans are the ones with batshit insane users. 64chan for example was consistently funny and always changing. I wish it would come back but maki is a broke teenager and basically has no drive

>>42
It's more the idea that they're there to begin with. I don't want a repeat of what happened on 4chan

According to various news outlets, the shooter posted on 8ch, but according to Jim, the shooter posted on Instagram first and then had his manifesto reposted to 8ch later.

There's not a single news outlet that actually knows what it's talking about (including "alternative" shit like breitbart), so there's a good chance most of what they're reporting is wrong. But the same time, Jimmy's a really sleezy dude, so I don't trust him either.

Who's telling the truth?

>>45
On 8ch the manifesto was posted as a pdf and instagram doesn't accept pdfs. Unless the guy who reposted it is an epin rusemaster it's kinda weird, besides I haven't seen any screencaps of his profile or anything.

>>45
>Who's telling the truth?
It's worth noting that NYT and other major news outlets reported that the recent failed Norway mosque shooter posted on 8chan when the site had been offline for over a week. You shouldn't really trust any of them, neither party is credible.

>>46
There was an image version floating around as well since it was only 4 pages long.

>>46
Supposedly there is a way to convert a set of images on instagram into a pdf. That being said, I don't see why it couldn't have been the same guy posting on both sites.

>>43
64chan was full of teens and the admin was shilling the site on cancerous discord servers and IBs. I'm glad that it's down.

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>50
>3d

>>51
That's why I posted it to show you how awful the site is.

>>49
lawl did you just copy paste the first sentence of 64ch's ED article

64chan was chaotic and fun. You should've been there

gas the netoyo
>>50
were those guys hiring camwhores for this?

>>53
t. teen

Seems like it won't come back according to that article: http://archive.is/I4rPC

There's some interesting figures too, I didn't think it was that big.

>8chan had 15,000 boards with millions of content and texts posted daily.
>Watkins said they took action on 967,413 reports where 27 boards were deleted for violating the global rule. A total of 50,032 complete threads were deleted and 3,002 individual files were removed.
>On 2019, 25,689 users were banned from the site.

>>56
I'm not happy about this. The large boards were awful, but there were some small boards I really enjoyed reading and posting to, and it saddens me to think that it's all just gone because of an excess of negative attention from news media. They don't complain about major social media sites hosting the exact same information and even worse. It's all so frustrating.

>>57
Well, facebook and the like can do what they want, especially if their management makes overtures to enforcing social acceptability.
As much as I detest /pol/, it is bullshit, but at the same time im not really sorry for them. I am sorry for some of the smaller boards though.

>>57
Yeah, I'm bummed out because it was really sudden and some boards probably won't ever come back. Luckily there's still endchan or even this place to create boards for niche topics.

That said it also motivated people to build something more resilient to censorship so there's good things in this too.

>>59
>some boards probably won't ever come back
That makes me really sad. One thing I had been looking forward to for the last while is seeing /jp/'s background image change seasonally. Makes me sad that I'll probably never be able to see that again.

>>56
Shit, is it really gone? It's probably been this way for a couple of weeks, but I can't even access it through the IP address now.
I hadn't used it for years, but 8chan was where my homeboard originated (we moved elsewhere after the infinitychan thing), and it was nice to go through all the old threads once in a while. I guess I should have archived the catalog beforehand, but it sucks to hear the all those threads are now gone forever.
So what's the next biggest site that lets you create your own board now? Endchan's dead and I haven't really seen any new boards pop up on it. Is the 'tiny dead board' culture dead after all? I haven't really seen anything similar to post-gamergate 8chan anywhere else on the internet. God I wish I could go back.

Can I get a tally of 8ch /jp/ users in a little subthread here? Just post a little message with "62" in the Email field. I just want to know how urgently I should finish my site already, considering I'm a month past my self-set deadline.
Judging just by glancing at the thread, I'm guessing that >>1 >>2 and >>20 are separate users.

Wow hey I didn't realize there are subthreads on this site, what the hell. How do I view them without JS?

>>62
I could be your mod if you need me. What's your e-mail?

>>14
It's smugloli. Well, there are actually two smuglolis. One is an imageboard (avoid it at all costs, the userbase is cancer) and the other one is this https://pl.smuglo.li/main/all

>>63
Image/embed expansion and hiding the sidebar are the only features of the site that need JS. Are you sure you can't see a gray little box or something under that post? I just went through the page source, and there's a possibility that subthreads won't appear at all without CSS, would that be the issue?

>>68
I see the gray box but it only has one line of text visible. Apparently you can resize it, but this was not apparent until examining the CSS.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH I CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT

>>70 even if it wouldn't be the same. Seems like everyone went to different places. Would be hard to coordinate it back together.

That somehow ended up as a quote, not sure what happened there I was tired while typing.

>>65
I don't think that'll be necessary considering how few posters 8/jp/ actually has, but if anyone wants to chat, I can be contacted at houston@planetmail.net.

Just to make it clear, I'm the guy working on the thing that looks like a public toilet in that other thread. That's just the test board, the real one will look a bit more like /jp/..

I think I'm going to move away from the wiki stuff and talking like one of those imageboard admins with their head up their ass, it's just kind of uncomfortable.

>>73
Just a simple wakaba or kareha board would be enough for me.

I don't like the circumstances under which it died, but I'm glad it's dead. It was to imageboards as Reddit was to forums; it overcentralized the culture, basically killing it. As soon as 8ch died, smaller boards sped up an insane amount.

>>75
While it's true that the overcentralization was an issue, none of the smaller boards have topical boards with as much material or focus as the ones on there, so I'm still not very happy with its loss. There's still archives of one of the ones I liked, at least, but I really looked forward to seeing the new posts on there.

Oh yeah, speaking of archives, here's everything I got out of /jp/, it's a board I care for a lot.
A lot of it's missing because 8ch's a buggy mess and you had to go through this process to make a thread not 404, and there's that whole thing where the previous board owner sperged out. I periodically saved the cycling thread and should have everything there up to a certain point, but I'm only going to include that if somebody here wants it. I've also got images for all or most of the threads I've got saved here, but they're too big to upload, I think.
It's very messy, sorry. If any thread looks a little empty, it's probably because I didn't save it enough times. Especially those threads towards the end that are just an OP or only have one or two posts.

For earlier threads, there's programs that promise to download files from web.archive.org, but I've never got them working properly. For that, I'd scrape everything under the "res" directory, and every instance of the index page.

https://0x0.st/zybw.7z - 0x0 upload will only last for about a year, can't upload it here for some reason. If you want a copy after 0x0 deletes it, ask for it here or contact me at houston@planetmail.net. I should have notifications coming from that mailbox indefinitely, so don't be scared to ask 20 years from now, unless I'm dead.

I dont think that's very ironic at all. That's just fitting.

>>77
I uploaded an archive to my website here https://heyuri.cf/index.php?page=view&key=XQO7ZwLCgs
I don't delete anything unless I absolutely have too

>>79
nice discord link on the bottom..

>>80
what the fuck is going on in that box

>>81
Doesn't it make you glad it happens in there instead of being 5 extra posts in this thread?

I still have to understand what the buck that is

>>70
still waiting..

>>84
It's gone we have to move on.

>>85
They said it will come back this week, they just have to build a cloudflare real quick.

>>86
Are they actually trying to start their own CDN? If so, good fucking luck. They can barely run a website.

I don't know exactly what part of cloudflare they were supposedly trying to replicate, it's just one of the many rumors I've read recently.

September 5 - "TBA: Project Odin"
https://twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1177742981882757120
September 27 - "Everything should make sense soon. In final stages of setting up new systems now. I'm not going to promise a date yet, but things are looking optimistic."

Don't bother actually clicking the links, all the /pol/ and Q anon shit will just make you feel sick to your stomach. There might be more I missed, I didn't hear anything about stuff happening within a week.

>>89
All this QAnon stuff is really intruiging. From searching a bit, its a world order conspiracy about pedophile satanists running the world with Donald Trump being the one to fight against it? Very strange.

>>90
It's really just marketing /pol/ to boomers.
