You guys are going anywhere after this?
I'll just leave this link here because it's where I heard you from
anon.cafe/r9k
I'll always miss you

It's sad to see another imageboard shut down. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Too many imageboards have either a completely weeaboo userbase or a tryhard meme vibe to them. This board was always pretty neutral and made for some interesting discussions. tabadmin, if you have another project/board in the works, please tell us. Everyone will join

It was a pleasure to hang around the place, and with you cats.
Even if we never meet again, I say thanks for the good times.

Tabatan, how far does the database dump go?

http://desuchan.net/touhou/
maybe we can move over to dc when 4taba dies

>>7
Better yet, someone should make an outright 4taba clone. After all, the script the site runs on is open source

>>8
The site will be up for another month or so. Hopefully someone does so before we're all forced to go our separate ways and the tabafamily officially is no more.

It's amazing that such a high quality /jp/ board has existed in these last few years.
Now that the time for posting is over, I wish I had contributed to this board instead of lurking.
Hopefully this isn't the end of 4taba.

I'm sorry to hear that tabamin found it to be stressful, I don't think he mentioned that anywhere so I just assumed he was having fun with it. There's obviously a lot of idea guys around with their own theories of fixing the internet, but he put it into action.

I think a direct clone would be best, but I'm too stupid to do it personally. At worst it could just be attached to some existing site maybe, although maybe it'd be annoying to maintain two different types of boards. ╮(￣_￣)╭

dont go.. 4taba.. my friends.... all going away....

To the woman that took a picture with Ryan Gosling
Sorry for calling you a whore. My sperg conspires against me

>>4
If I do try something again it'll probably be a few years down the road.
I was discussing this with someone in an email and the way the described it helps put it in context. Say it's a good idea to have development be around 90% done when releasing. But since this was a test site it was always incomplete, and then it just sort of solidified at that incomplete state. It always felt about 50% complete to me, and I think it stems from its origin as a testing site.
So if I made a new one I'd be sure to have more things ironed out before even telling anyone, including stuff like how moderation should be handled (something I still never figured out for 4taba, but I was just lucky I never had to delete anything but spam).

>>6
I don't know what you mean, it's the whole database. It just has the "cooldowns", "banlist", and "mods" tables deleted, and the "ip" and "session" columns removed on all tables. The first link includes old threads that got pruned, and the 2nd link is just more recent including new stuff that was posted after threads got pruned.
Together they're basically all the server data, aside from image files.

Sorry if I ever said something to make you feel stressed out. I'm one of the people who complained about the look of the board changing way back and I think I tried to talk you out of the board tags and federation concepts.
>>5 Seriously, what do you mean by the cats thing?

>>4
>Too many imageboards have either a completely weeaboo userbase
Nothing wrong with that.

One of the mainly things of why alternative boards go to the shitter is because nobody tried an actual layout design from the current year. I know some retarded "oldfags" still pretend Frames and Index are still a thing, but those came in 1998.
Tabatan you can still make a good imageboard, throw those obsolete CSS styles and try something new and beautiful (bootstrap studio, Visual studio...)

>>17
Ban this teen already.

I lurked shitaba every day. This is heartbreaking to me because I don't really know of any other place that is similar to shitaba, both in terms of design and userbase. I somehow ended up rangebanned on /qa/ ages ago, and that's when shitaba was solidified as my primary imageboard.

Sorry for making you feel stressed out.

This is my first and last post in honor of this website. Farewell!

So long, 4taba. It's been fun.

>>17
What I like is the new board system. It lets you have multiple distinct subjects without fragmenting the community

Thanks for the ride tabadmin, it was fun and comfy. I wish you all the best in the future.

:(

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

It's a pity it was my favourite board. Oh well it's better to end up like this than to let everything turn sour or dwindling for years. Thanks Tabamin!

Goodbye 4taba

If someone creates a successor, share it on 4-ch or elsewhere.

Someone is working on a clone as we speak now, right?

I would copy the code to make a clone, but I can't get a domain name, or hosting that isn't on a raspberry pi.

>>2
>>7
I know of the following two obscurish image boards
https://ota-ch.com/
http://ara.doushio.com/moe/
They're pretty slow but rather comfy.

Can I download the CSS of this website somewhere?
I've always liked the way 4taba looked

I've been in contact with him about switching ownership of the site to myself. Domain name transfer(assuming this can be done anonymously) and copying the site data or acquiring the site itself so that it can keep running would be preferable. Still waiting for his response on the transfer aspects but he said it would be fine to SCP whatever I need to make a new site. I'd still like to ask him a bit more though.

The basis would be on continuing it's operations. Focus of development would be on security. Rewriting code in new languages/architectures isn't what I value.
I'm on #qa a fair bit.

rizon #qa

>>34
oh god no

>>33
ota is full of love live spam and live imageboards are for discord teens

>>33
>http://ara.doushio.com/moe/
What is even happening on the first thread?

>>37
What is your preferred speed for imageboard?
Surely not 1-2 posts per day on entire board.

There's the right software and boardspeed for everyone, which is why 4taba shutting down is a problem. reduction in diversity of softwares both a problem of decreasing creativity across imageboards and lost users.

You're an idiot if you think any of these pseudo r9k imageboards can replace this one.

>>33
The issue is that both those boards are explicit in what they discuss.

Something unique to 4taba, and this is very much a result of the board system, is that the site is able to have a unified community while also being flexable in its subject matter. Those sites have set boards with set subject matter and you can't really go beyond that.

4taba's strength is that it's a site built around the community, not the other way around

/nowheretogoontheinternetanymore/ gang rise up

>>42
>tfw this is no longer an exaggeration
we're running out of comfy places on the internet at an alarming rate.

>>39 sounds blazing fast to me.

>>33
ota is a steaming shithole full of incel teens and love live morons with an admin actively trying to ruin the website. I regret every minute I spend on there, its not chill at all.

I used to browse an ssh bbs called Einchan, I think it was advertised here at some point.
The password you needed to get in was always ein but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Anyone knows what's up?

>>46
EinChan is currently down :-(

It will return as soon as somebody donates for server fees!

from https://einchan.neocities.org/

go away vermiin

>>47
>>48
Well that's kinda disappointing, thanks for the info anon

I've been working on my own fork of SchemeBBS (from https://textboard.org/) recently, and I was planning on making it public before Christmas. My plan with the site was going to be a general purpose textboard where I could try out various features such as lisp code evaluation within posts, a neural net reply bot, and whatever else seemed fun.
My motivation for running the site was that although I had found a handful of small imageboards that I liked, with 4taba being the main one, I couldn't find a good textboard, with a /prog/ that felt like home.
That was the case until I found SchemeBBS, which I really liked reading, but seemed to have halted development and was consequently pretty slow-paced.
Now that 4taba is on the way out I want to redouble my efforts and make a good site that will fill part of that void. On the other hand, as others have mentioned a clone of the site would be really nice, and maybe I should focus on that instead.
I would definitely consider incorporating aspects of 4taba into the site that I'm making, and maybe I could make it home to both the textboard and an imageboard. Fair warning though: thus far the plan has been to keep the site as being either an I2P eepsite or a TOR hidden service, and I don't think that I'll be purchasing a domain name anytime soon. For a textboard the latency shouldn't be an issue, but this might be unfeasible for a clone of 4taba. If you haven't tried it out before, the Tor Browser Bundle is really accessible, and I believe that I2P also has a similar browser too.

>>36
>>49
What's the objection to Verniy?

>>33
The problem with these boards is that they're too "moe" centered. Comfy doesn't always mean anime and jp/s4s memes.

>>22
That's why this board still has the potential of being a 4chan killer, but to achieve that point you need to have "soul", and that "soul" comes from 2 points: board community (which this site somehow has) and board design (imitating only makes your website another clone, make sure your site looks modern for Christ sake)

>>41
I wouldn't say it's unique but certainly a criminally underlooked way in how to make an already small community feel closer yet still provide typical discussion grouping. I'm part of another local community and implementation of the same feature made having multiple boards absolutely viable whereas previously any new boards would've been thought as splintering the userbase. Nowadays the whole board view is probably the most visited page and provides a great overview of what's on everyone's mind across every page.

>>55
I sure hope site like this won't end up become "4chan killer" because it sounds like it will replace 4chan as high-traffic cancer containment.
4chan proves that being too popular is a curse and now it need to stay to keep its current average posters from going anywhere. I'd rather an imageboard that doesn't stand out and have more healthy traffic.

>>54
A focus on moe is a good thing. However, >>45 is correct on ota-ch in particular. It's just full of terrible ironic types that Love Live somehow attracts tons of.

>>53
he spergs and deletes random shit he doesn't like

>>45
you sound like a woman
show me your pussy

>>55
I doubt there'll ever be a 4chan killer in the way 4chan was the Something Awful killer. 4chan's been around for so long and built up such a legacy that you can't really catch up.

>>60
Well, this is what he said about it when I asked him on IRC:

<anon6013> Would you keep the rules the same?
<Verniy> yeah, hands off approach. it would be about continuing it,
<Verniy> but if it were to go a meguca route then i'd step in
<yotgo> god no, those people are inseparable from their activism as far as I'm concerned
* stardotstar has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
<anon6013> I think meguca's moderate-your-own-board feature made it more susceptible to that kind of activist colonization
* stardotstar (~stardotst@A405C1FA.6DFF08C9.E88FDBFF.IP) has joined
* The_Matrix gives voice to stardotstar
<Verniy> ultimately because the admin was fine with it, he's from latvia so he has his own beliefes
<yotgo> sort of, it had a deeper connection to the root community than people realize. they had homu mascots and rl badges with homu on them
<yotgo> for politics
<yotgo> assholes

>>63
see? he's already talking about stepping in. he can't help himself

Tabamin, please consider putting less work into the site (and possibly getting people to help) instead of stepping out of the picture entirely. I'm sure a replacement / clone will be made (I would do it myself if someone else wasn't already planning it), but changes in management are rarely good for an Internet community, and I don't want to see a repeat of the uBlock story. (Gorhill, the maintainer, was tired of answering issues so he passed the torch to someone who wasn't as competent and didn't share all of his values, and he ended up forking the project creating uBlock Origin so he could maintain it as he saw fit and just getting other people to volunteer to handle the issue tracker for him.)

>>64
Well, meguca ended up becoming a host to terrorists, which I don't think most people in this community want. The question would be at what point it is appropriate to intervene and make changes to preserve the site, what kind of changes would need to be made, and whether it would be a rules change or a technical change. I think tabamin has done a good job of thinking of ways to improve the community by technical means instead of increased rules and moderation. There are certainly technical changes that could be made to deter an invasion of neo-Nazi activists, such as curtailing imagedumps. I can't speak for what Verniy would do, though.

Would it be better if I made a clone of the site? I don't want to have two competing clones, though.

>>66
>terrorists
well, to correct myself, one terrorist, but that was enough

>>67
What and who?

>>68
Meguca had a manifesto and stream link posted by the German guy with homemade weapons and ammunition. He was the one who wanted to shoot up a synagogue but was stopped by a wooden door. So instead he shot some woman passing by who complained about the noise he was making with his explosives. Then he shot some guy in a shop. But he didn't get to shoot many people because his sugar-based ammunition caused his gun to jam.

>>64
4taba doesn't need more moderation. It needs an admin who will pay for the site's bills and deal with problems as they come up.

>>68
The problem being eluded to here is when meguca got overrun by the extremist-political types and the admin decided it wasn't a problem ultimately leading to the domain's exposure on Vice media and subsequent shut down after a terrorist attack in Germany.
I don't see this ever being a problem for an imageboard I'm on because those types prefer to talk on places with admins they know have the same political stances as them.

>>65
My reasons for wanting out are because I really think more radical changes are needed.
Take the subpost feature for example. That was only acceptable to change on a live site because it was more of an addition, and was also fairly similar to the behavior of sage anyway.

I always wanted to eventually make a full site, but 4taba was my way of figuring out what that site needed. I was never completely happy that I had it all figured out (I find it kind of funny that people are asking about how moderation on a clone of 4taba might change when I myself never had any clue what moderation on 4taba was supposed to be), so I wanted to test experimental ideas for the purpose of finding out what kind of site I wanted to actually build, but I never really got the chance because 4taba just became it's own thing.
I made the mistake of thinking I could slowly migrate 4taba into anything I wanted until I had the finished product, but that was a really dumb idea.
Every time I refurbished the site I was kind of locked into keeping everything the same.

In other words, I don't look at this as me giving up, it's more like I want to actually have a chance to make a complete site, with a complete idea in mind of what it's supposed to be. Of course I'm biased, but I'd like to think it could have the potential to be even better than 4taba.

But think about it this way, if tomorrow I change some major aspect of this site (say for example, threads are identified by their titles, and no two threads can have the same title), then what's the difference between that and me just killing this site and starting a new one?
I think by walking away people will feel less like the rug is pulled out from under them, and also it gives others the opportunity to clone 4taba as it is now if they want (as people are already discussing).
If I want to do some of the major changes I think I really want to make then it's more fair to everyone that I just do it on a new site. And hopefully don't make the same mistake I did here of launching it before I knew what it was supposed to be.

TL;DR I'm not completely happy with what 4taba is and I never was. It's always been missing something in my book. So if there's someone out there who is happy with what 4taba is now then maybe they should be running it.
But good luck to them on figuring out how to handle moderation if the site gets more popular though. I wouldn't want to be the one making those choices. It's hard enough to change rules on a site that's already established standards, but even harder on one which never really had any.

He's stated his issue clearly. He wants to build an interesting imageboard software without being held back by the need to keep it functional. It goes against his desire as a software artisan to run a website that requires messy work to be done.
I think it would be more stressful for that kind of person to leave something messy in the background. He'll just want to clean it for the rest of his time.
Unlike software that fulfills a purpose an image-board also needs people on it for that purpose to be fulfilled. The social purpose of this website was what he thought needed more work on and felt he couldn't do while also being the developer.

That's how I read him anyhow. I agree with you on one hand that changes in management lead to issues as can be seen with the transfer of ownership of sites such as 4chan, 8ch, reddit etc. but I think that it would be a bigger problem for a constructive culture to die.

[edit] didn't see admin post above

Admin ## SysOp 2019-12-09T05:28:38

Hi, my name is Admin, and I approve this message

>>72
Fair enough. When you do have something you're satisfied with, I hope you'll let us know. I think the ideas you've already implemented here are really nice, and I very much would like to see you keep experimenting.

>>75
May be several years. Also I want to point out that when I say I was never satisfied I definitely don't mean with the experience.
The community here has actually been pretty nice, compared with many others, especially the average 4chan user these days. And there's a lot of great threads here too.
I just mean that the way the site itself is doesn't quite scratch that autistic itch I keep getting. I also wonder how it would scale up if there were suddenly a huge influx of traffic. Those are the sort of things I wasn't satisfied with.

>>69
>>70
Oh, I remember that incident. I remember someone mentioning the manifesto being posted on an imageboard but I assumed it was 8ch.

>>77
8chan had manifestos from three shootings. While it was shut down, there was one on Endchan and then one on Meguca.

It will still be up until 2020, right?

>>79 yes

Now tanasinn.info is down

>>81
It keeps happening!

So is there a clone up yet or...

>>83
Be patient, anon!

Did anyone happen to get a scrape of tanasinn? I was going to but it went down faster than I expected.

>>85 It's not down permanently is it? I got one a few months ago.

from what it looks like it's just a mediawiki error

>>87

When did the Meguca terrorist attack happen? Strange that I'm only hearing about it now. Meguca was the imageboard with live posting, right?

>>46
>>47
ssh bit@whisper.onthewifi.com is another good ssh-based textboard

>>89
I believe it was sometime this year. Before the Oslo attempted mosque shooting and after Christchurch.

>>89
They're still around, they just changed domain names.

It's unfortunate that 4taba's shutting down.
Even if there is a replacement with the same look, would it be the same? If multiple splinter boards pop up, each is unlikely to even have the full 4taba community, and it's already a small community.
I always wanted this place to get at least a few hundred daily visitors at some point, but splitting it up will make that even less likely.
And that doesn't even account for new admins. How likely are we to get a new admin as chill as Taba-tan?

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>93
I thought the idea was we all migrate to the clone while 4taba's still up. The only thing that'd change is tabamin not being the admin anymore and possibly the domain.

I'm going to miss you, 4taba. I was mostly a lurker but I liked the atmosphere. Sad to see you go.

Finally it's the 11th... I'll post a new IP `soon` and the put the software on it, when taba is able to give ssh and domain I'll migrate site data to it

Have you thought of leaving 4taba up and run a testbed on a subdomain? It would be another interesting place on this site where posts just disappear. It's not like this is just another imageboard. This place is special.

Threw in procedure ->mfd-header :
[REASON] ->mfd-headers: Invalid MFD header!
[EXCEPTION] /board/d is abnormal request, status: 400, rendering a sys page for it...

zzz

>>98
People still want a lot of changes though, it's not like the site is finished. That's what the problem is. It would be one thing to know what "finished" looks like so you could know what to listen to and what not to, but I don't know that.
It sounds good on paper to just keep the site running, but then tomorrow someone will ask for the css to be changed, or to finish the javascript, or someone will post something that will force me to take a stance on moderation.

Now add to that something else I mentioned to someone in an email, but I haven't mentioned it here yet:
Normally I hate talking about my real life on the internet, but I'll just say that I'm going to have to be getting a job soon (like in the next month or two), so I can't live that NEET developer dream anymore and that definitely plays a part in the decision to shut the site down.
It consumed my thoughts enough even as a NEET, I can't even imagine how impossible it would be to live like that with a job at the same time (actually I can, because I did it before and it was a living hell, and this time I think the job will be permanent).

>>100
It's ultimately alright. Especially since that other guy's putting up another site. I know transitioning from NEETdom is pretty hard.
But if there were two 4tabas, that guy's proper board and this one which just became whatever you wanted, and we could still check it out and post our opinions on whatever you do on the new board, that would be pretty cool.

Not sure why the code isn't allowing me to make threads on my desktop. Set up the required dependencies but the data is coming in with an unexpected format or something

Current ubuntu using localhost artaris server.
in file-uploads.scm, line35 (define (->mfd-header line) finds no match and throws the error in image displaying 400err page.
It goes to options then evaluates that successfully, then right after it looks at password and subject at the same time as if it never got split.

Maybe a newline isn't getting split somewhere. My Guile is WIP so it'll take me a bit of time to fix it. I'm comfortable with ubuntu server so I guess I'll be dealing with some compatibility issues
What OS are we running on here anyhow?

>>102
You're reporting bugs after the developer just said he doesn't want to be working on it anymore?

>>102
It could easily be the guile or artanis version.
Even in the short time I spent developing with it it's changed a lot. The file-uploads.scm module really shouldn't even exist. Reading POST data wasn't functioning completely in all cases so I had to make my own. It was only a matter of time until they changed how it handles POST data, probably broke something in there.

I suppose I can help out with some basic fixes for stuff like that, but I don't want to get stuck making promises that it'll be done soon (or ever). That's what stresses me out. And this is a pretty hectic time for me right now, I'm also going to be moving.
I don't think anyone should expect this transition to be smooth or timely. I can't put in the effort for that right now.

>>104
Yeah, a bunch of things seem to have changed such as a disclaimer saying Artanis is intended to be used with nginx to handle post data.
Not going to do this however until something is running. I guess I'll have to check it from the entrypoint for most errors and update Art version when they're confident in it's abilities.

Asking so I can better understand the source of errors and not spend hours trying to rediscover things you already know. The repo doesn't specify version numbers however and if there were any fast fix you could do it's to specify that. I don't think I'll rollback, but might help anyone else who wants a clone

I see what you mean, you certainly implemented a lot of the lower level methods for form reading. It's the decoding of header data from byte to string that's making a mistake. More than that I'm not sure of yet.

Guile 2.2.2 to 2.2.3 "has better support for RFC 3986"
Artanis 0.3.2 to 0.4 fixed a ton of bugs, one for uploads
Seems that client-server changes are on everyone's agenda. I'll fix it up next opportunity I get

Artanis changed subbv->string start end => subbv->string start count
well, now I have to find where it processes the form data to see what else went wrong in the parsing

Posting and deletion is functioning now.
I need to verify that the basic mod features are working on Art0.4
Not sure how to get in yet though

Mod posting seems to be the only thing broken now.

Upgraded to Artanis 0.4.0, Guile 2.2.3

* Going to set up a github repo for the update,
* Create some wiki pages/readme.md for anyone else who wants to make a clone
* Do a few safety checks
* Get a server
* Check when there can be a full migration.

Good progress. I'll see if I can transfer the domain before it expires, but I'm thinking I might just give you the account it was on.
I don't technically own it so transfers might not be possible. I wanted to avoid whois lookups to stay anonymous so the site I purchased it through had to be the official owners.
Since they own it they might not allow transfers.
I purchased it using bitcoin though, so I don't think there's any private information on the account. We'll see.

I never really posted here actively, but I did look around for a while and liked it. I also enjoyed making the /f/ banner. Goodbye 4taba may you rest in peace...

Can I drop the databases from the homepage in this (https://github.com/4taba/4taba) and just have a semi-working site again for my own viewing pleasure?

>>111
Who did you buy it through? My research showed many allow private transfer such as namecheap

>>113
The databases posted on the main page are for sqlite. The github link you posted is the old 4taba code using postgresql so they'd be incompatible.
But if you're just running a personal copy then the new code should be even simpler, since you don't have to run apache or anything.
The new code is here: https://gitlab.com/ison2/kotatsu
Although as the other anon discovered it needs updating for newer versions of artanis. Should work for version 3.1 though, or maybe you can wait and see if he'll post a link to his fixed code or something.
Once it's running then it should be as simple as dropping the database files in place.

>>114 https://ititch.com/

>>116
I see. It was a bit hard to find but the info I think is this.
https://ititch.com/billing/index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/125/EPP-Code.html

>>113
idk if it works fully. Read what I've adjusted in the readme and the sparse wiki for getting into admin panel
https://github.com/ECHibiki/kotatsu

Send me an email with the details when you're able to. Getting a copy of the pub, db, settings etc before changing where the domain points would be good as well. I'll leave the admin details as is probably

How will we get info on any new projects you might end up working on Tabadmin?

https://youtu.be/sZcdOOS8PLU

wasn't here for long but i'll miss this place. it was something unique.

Wiiiiiiiishing on a dream that seems far off
Hoping it would come today
Into the starlit night
Foolish dreamers turn their gaze
Waiting on a shooting star

But, what if that star is not to come?
Will their dreams fade to nothing?
When the horizons darkens most
We all need to believe there is hope

Is an angel watching closely over me?
Can there be a guiding light I've yet to see
I know my heart should guide me but
There's a hole within my soul

What will fill this emptiness inside of me?
Am I to be satisfied without knowing?
I wish is then for a chance to see
Now all I need (desperately)

Goddamn it.

Fuck my life. So many imageboards needlessly died this year.

>>122
This place is full of weebs already.
If that's what he'll do then it won't be much different.

It is I, king of teens from the domain of kissu moe.

So, where are we going once this site shuts down? I've been a lurker for the most part but really enjoyed reading you guys from time to time. Sad to see you all go, this was truly a very unique and comfy site.

If tabamin sends me the images along with the database I'm going to host a copy of everything including his imageboard software. It'll be put on a server that will host some node and golang programs I need for kissu.
If he also can send me the domain I'll take over the site and point the domain, 4taba.net, to this new server.
If he sends me neither I'll put it on a new domain not too different from the current.

In the neither case, then by the time I've finished off upgrading/maintaining kissu I'll put a url in here. If he can send me things sooner than that then I'll act sooner.

Is there any place you can keep us updated once this site becomes read-only?

>>132
It probably won't ever be, since the plan is now to just give away all the data and domain to someone else.
Other than some possible downtime during a transition it should remain live.

Damn. Just when I feel like browsing this site regularly again this happens. I really enjoyed the times I was here with you guys.

>>134
Don't worry. It's going to change admins and stay around

well, that's assuming tabamin is free to give things away.
If he can't give me the domain then it'll be in purgatory for about 3-4 months until it becomes open for purchase.

Until then http://4taba2.net/thread/a/1
I still have a few server config stuff to do but doesn't really matter. Moving my auxiliary services onto here and setting up an SSL cert.

>>136 I can't post on it, 500 Internal Server Error. Are the posts there going to be wiped once tabamin puts the final database dump up? By the way, I'm sure you've seen it already, but those dumps are available at https://4taba.net/index.html so I was pretty confused about how you keep asking for them.

It seems a little unstable yeah. I'm timing out while connecting through my phone for example
If all else fails http://185.224.139.128 works on my machine.

It's not the database that I want from him as much as all the images. I did a merge of the most recent and what was already there looks really quite strange and almost like spambots. Fresh database might not be bad, but if there's a full backup posted here then might as well wipe it.

it seems it's redirecting you to the IP address anyways after posting. Guess I have to test out the config options a bit

Thanks, and good luck.
If it doesn’t work out i’m just thankful for the good times we’ve had here.

What's your problem with kissu?

I have more problems with artanis engine.
utf-8(japanese characrers) break for seemingly no reason after accessing through winscp+putty and idk why. Starting the server through linux bash though... A-Okay...

There's seemingly no way for it to redirect you to the hostname.
I dunno if I've misconfigured or if it's a bug at this point in time.

What's up with tanasinn.info? Is there an archive somewhere?

was it a spontaneous decision? probably only option is whatever has been archived before

Kissu's community seems a bit alien to me. It's somewhat intimidating.

>>146
It seems to be an extension of the 4chan /qa/ community, which is kind of concerning to me. I've always disliked that board's elitist-yet-also-shitposty culture a lot.

UCHUJIN

>>147
/qa/ has not a "community", is just spammers forcing spam to annoy people.

/qa/ is NOT /jp/, it is just a mistake that should have never happened.

>tfw remember when /qa/ was starting to get raided by /jp/
The thing I can't quite discern is if it was because it was filled with frogspammers, people whining about /pol/, or was the surge of /bant/ that kickstarted that behaviour

tfw made a better site than 4chan and created an alternative to the abusive mod-user hierarchy forced by hiro.

Maybe it was just a coincidence, maybe I'm just delusional, but I like to think I was the one who started it. I don't remember how I came with the idea, but I realized the board lost any purpose it had so I started spamming "2D/random" threads and then invited the spinoffs in hopes something would happen.

>>146
>>147
Sounds like old /jp/ to me

/qa/ is the reddit of english-speaking imageboards

>>152
You might think you've seen the worst of it, but you cannot even begin to comprehend how poorly 4chan is moderated is until you've used /co/.

/co/ has multiple known people who regularly derail threads with bullshit, including but not limited to a boomer who somehow thinks cartoons peeked in the early 80s, two autists who make it fucking impossible to discuss the differences between eastern and western media without making it into a fight, a pretty infamous guy with a fetish for white bread who loves to avatarfag, and an autist who thinks that American animation is some sort of conspiracy to turn people into soyboys or some shit.

All of these people get off scott free of course, even though they're obviously breaking rules. All of that shit is perfectly fine. But if you start a thread about a show with cartoon animals in it the mods consider it paramount to posting furry porn, deleting the thread and possibly banning you.

And don't even think about making anything even resembling a general thread. /co/'s mods fucking hate it when multiple threads about the same thing exist in sequence, which makes it really hard to actually discuss any particular show.

>>151
>/jp/
I doubt it. They probably came from /bant/ and spin-off boards.
If they all came from /jp/, how come the board itself is deserted?

>nuchan moderation
https://desuarchive.org/qa/thread/3050856/#q3051409

>>156
that infamous bread guy is known on /co/... wow

Please stop talking about /qa/ and 4chan.

>>143
Fixed the redirect bug. Seems like the Artanis 0.4.0 version is up to par

blame pissu

/qa/ and pissu teens are at it again

At least it's not ota

I don’t even know what ota is supposed to be

tabani teen

Ota is when /jp/ autism reached specific condition that it destroy itself and spread like foul odor

goodbye 4taba, I will miss you dearly ;_;
it hurts to see so many chans die over the years
here, take a song I found online as a parting gift ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-cIk7kfWas

I just found your website from a list of chans someone dumped online. After seeing so many dead chans and live ones, it was a nice experience to finally see one that was in the transition rather than being outright dead. Good riddance

-K

4taba2.net is up for when this one goes down

>>169
/qa/ggot genocide when?

>>170
we don't care

Good night, 4taba.

>>169
It's also nice that the transition isn't to someplace like Discord.
I've seen a few others with database dumps at the end but I can't recall anywhere else with someone making use of them. I generally save the dumps whenever I encounter them, though.

>>175
discord was a mistake, think of all the communities that were segregated to a datamining software

Unfortunate.

bye bye

I posted there once. But I dont really want to share a community with teens that hide under seven layers of irony and anime reaction images

4taba.net Registry Expiry Date: 2020-01-05T21:11:52Z

just under 6 days

Is it decided then? Are we moving to 4taba2.net or are we waiting for something?

>>183
no one decides anything, do what you want. Tons of imageboards, but setting up a site with 4taba's software isn't something you can casually do so I think taba2 will be the only option if you want to keep the old going

When will the final database dump be put up?

Goodbye.

Goodnight, sweet prince.
I hope you all will be fine.
Thanks for your time.
Bye.

How many years have this site had?

3 years. It started in 2016 and is ending early this year.

Before the clock hits I'm saving my year old Evangelion manga slash music thread. I wasn't able to sustain following discussion so if anyone was expecting anything – I'm sorry. The date it was created (5th of January) strangely coincides with the closure of 4taba a year later. I suggest you to save threads you value from here as well.
Oh and, I found out about 'taba about 2 years ago from one of those imageboard aggregators. Stayed because I liked the stiling of the website and because of the barebones interface that didn't require javascript. Tabamin certainly had the right idea.

Could we set this url to redirect to 4taba2.net and set up an archive.4taba2.net like on seisatsu's sites?

could do.

url's go into purgatory when they expire for months, or at least that's how it went with one of my other sites that expired. 4taba will probably be unusable for half a year.

it would require setting up nginx for proxy pass though, but I suppose it's not a real problem. Just a bit of time invested.

Still up?
Answer honestly: Will you at least lurk 4taba2?

>>196
i've posted a few things there i think, honestly just worried that any day this site will go away so i've been dreading it.

A few days ago I discovered a comfy textboard. In a way it's similar to 4taba, has modest interface, can be browsed and posted without javascript, and the post rate seems to be about the same that we have here.

>>196
Sure, but I'm not comfortable with 4taba^2's admin not disclosing his slavic connections if there are any. I asked him there and he clearly doesn't want to answer me right away. In my experience relation to any slav-chanverse is a negative because the sites can get quickly flooded by crossbrowsers and the slavic communities can often be very virulent and malevolent.

>>196
I will.

>>198
Why would you suspect slavic connections in the first place? Him avatarfagging with a Japanese video game character based on a Japanese ship that became Russia's after the war?

>>198
>he clearly doesn't want to answer me right away
Well that's fair enough isn't it? If you were an inevitably prominent nameposter I'm sure you wouldn't want to dox yourself. Besides, even if you're right then unless he's going to advertise on slavic websites I don't see what harm his "connections" could be.

I thought he was a leaf.

>>198
>>>/4taba2/26
there you go. I also forgot to add that she's cute

vermin.. what is he hiding?

feelio when your favorite sites are all dying

Exactly 11 hours 11 minutes and 11 seconds until the domain expires.

Last!

Disregard that, I'm a failure.

Exactly 1 hour 48 minutes and 04 seconds until the domain expires.

Goodbye everyone, it was a nice run.
Will a final database dump be put up anywhere? Maybe it's too late to ask.

15 minutes and ..... 44 seconds left. Hopefully the timestamp given was actually correct or else my countdowns weren't all that good.

Oh shit, I made it here just before the domain closure.

This is my first and last post here ever

And thank you to all the kids!

I hope the new alternative will be good

It looks like my countdown was wrong after all!

(´・ω・`)

unless there's a 1week free where they pester you to renew

(‘･ω･')
4taba taking the ultimate easy.

>>225
god i wish that was me

I guess the Friday night loli doujin guy never came back after all.

did tabamin renew?

Together, or not together.

These are the last traces of those dreamlike days. (´；ω；`)

Is this thing working?

It was down for me last night, but it works now for some reason.

Tabamin please provide not only a final dump of the DB, but also a dump of the whole website with images and all when the time comes. That would be awesome because I could then browse the whole website offline in all its glory...

i'm pretty sure this is cloudflare holding onto the route to the server depending on which cdn is in service

*knock knock*

Rest in peace, my friend.

>>234
whos this?

>>236
The Imageboard Reaper. I have come to take the wandering soul of 4taba and put it to rest.

OH NO!

Looks like the DNS is already de-registered, I didn't even realise.

>>239
Me too. I had forgotten about having had set 104.16.117.221 in my hosts file the last time 4taba lost its domain. These past few days I've been coming here thinking it's still alive. Well now it looks more like in limbo.
I also got banned on 4taba^2. Clearly the admin there doesn't like to be questioned.

Only thing I banned was that spambot advertising some shitware RUS pubg hack, I guess I'll check the db anyways to see if someone broke in since the software is kind of sketch.

Ok, I restored everything, only posts that are missing are some ones I tested on.

I'll put up a set of DB downloads in a sec

a crawl of 4taba, i dont know if its complete but hey, it's something

Fuck i just arrived here.

Well im going to lurk some more anyway.

>>248
It actually isn't going to die anymore. It transferred ownership and now everything's fine.
