>>2003 I think it would be helpful for people to try to direct anyone they see talking about CYOAs or being from /cyoag/ or /cyoar/ on an altchan to here, or at least tell us where you spotted them.

>>2006 I've seen some posts on reddit cyoa and nsfwcyoa saying they're waiting for the site to come back. SDA's discord has a few new members. There's no /cyoa/ thread on /thrash/ or on /tg/ here or smuglo.li. It's just this place unfortunately.

>>2003 It's over

There's an active thread on soyjak where some people seem to have gone. You could try there. Link edited because I'm not sure the site is safe.

>>2013 /cyoar/ has been found: >>>/trash/9879

>>2013 Isn't that who caused this problem in the first place?

>>2020 They are. I wonder why they made a thread over there instead of coming here or some other place.

>>2013 A heads up, use soyjak at own risk. Someone over on /v/ got flagged by soyjak. It seems the site does a system scan of your connected networks when you join or post there. >>>/v/1146095

>>2015 I like it here better

>>2022 For what purpose? Stalking and harassing anyone who is "competition" I assume?

>>2021 May as well, its not like we designated here as the meeting point.

>>2030 If what Board Owner said is true, I'd rather not join a "anonymous" imageboard that keeps a eye on where I post everytime I'm not using a VPN

>>2032 Fair enough

>>2032 /v/'s meta thread is cylindrical, think he forgot. Before the post got eaten, one anon posted a screenshot of an add-on called port authority from firefox that stopped a scan from the website. It was enough that alot of anons in the thread got spooked because why would a imageboard site want to do a network ping of a user.

>>2038 This is "integrity.wasm" that the site forces you to run or you can't post: https://pastebin.com/NTChvPPB This thing actually opens a websocket directly to the soyfag websocket server and evaluates any javascript that server sends to the "anon", then it sends the result back to their server.

>>2039 In English, poindexter

>>2040 It's basically an Nmap ping. When this code executes, it opens a virtual port to your IP, scans every virtual device attached to your network and sends the data back to soyjak servers. They can see your true IP and any device attached to it.

Dragons Whore is trying to convince people to use his site https://imageboard.cyoa.cafe

>>2042 >Redditors. >Unspoiled porn. >Dragon's Whore the creator from r/nsfwcyoa known for sissy cyoa. I'm good. I guess it's nice to know they established something there.

>>2042 What's his loli policy (lolicy)?

>>2041 Must be terrified of glowies.

>>2044 >censored someone's else korean cyoa by replacing several loli pics from options and removing a combo option that turns you into one >several of his own cyoas are full of blatantly underage characters and lolis despite that The typical hypocrite stance

>>2042 lmao, he tried to make himself King of Reddit and to hijack their board and got laughed out of the building not too long ago. Guess he's going for round 2. He's absolutely desperate to have control over the CYOA communities. A very weird guy.

>>2049 > King of Reddit How so?

>>2050 Trying to divert people to alternate subreddits he'd set up, some weird shit about pushing new creators towards a "course" he'd set up about proper CYOA standards when making them and all the shit with his site that he's still trying to push people towards when it's objectively worse in every way than just linking to imgchest. Reminds me of the guys you'd get on forums back in the day who were just itching to be modded.

>>2022 >>2029 for all practical purposes, i don't know what else could they do to me IRL, consider i dont live in Burgerland might still be problematic online, though

>>2051 >a "course" he'd set up about proper CYOA standards Very funny, considering this is the guy whose every CYOA is an unbalanced mess of option bloat.

>>2042 His involvement is a pretty good argument against it, but I'll still monitor the situation. Don't think I want to post my stuff on his site though >>2043 Redditors are unfortunately probably inevitable wherever. Unspoiled NSFW is good. Spoilers on CYOAs are a pain in the ass. This place requiring you to specify NSFW in the title is probably a good happy medium.

>>2020 >Isn't that who caused this problem in the first place? Well, Soyjak Party is where the hacker responsible "hangs his hat", posting about how he did it, etc. As I understand the situation, 4chan was processing image and pdf uploads with a version of GhostScript that hadn't been updated in over a decade. Some people are saying that it's been even longer - that the code hasn't been updated since moot himself sold the site, and moved on. Said hacker uploaded a "false" pdf to 4chan. That is, instead of it being a pdf, it was actually a list of PostScript commands that - when it hit the outdated version of GhostScript - gave the hacker moderator-level access. Which wouldn't have worked if 4chan had the recommended patches and updates. With that access, the hacker then reinstated the old /qa board (from which Soyjak Party originated). He also proceeded to release the master list of mods, admins, and janitors to the Soyjak Party website, along with screenshots of the (formerly secret) /j/ board for the mods, all of 4chan's source code . . . Pretty much the crown jewels of 4chan's proprietary secrets. (Theoretically that also includes the list of everyone with a trip code, but the hacker claims he didn't look at it.) That's why 4chan is offline. The sys-admins have over a decade's worth of deferred maintenance that they have to do, well, now. The fact that the software was so wildly out-of-date is now widely known, so they have to worry about wannabes hitting 4chan with every exploit developed over the last decade.

>>2042 something about that guy makes me think he's not all well in the head

>>2057 >he hacker claims he didn't look at it Hard to believe considering their own site has literal spyware

>>2057 >since moot himself sold the site >longer than "over a decade" That can't be right

>>2060 The hacker is almost certainly not the owner of the site

>>2062 not THE owner but he is a member of the imageboard, it can't be coincidence

>>2061 Gamergays was 11 years ago, old man. Are there any good old man CYOAs?

>>2003 >Right now 4chan is down and people want a thread to co-ordinate staying in touch or just posting things they're working on to not lose when 4chan comes back. Other than the /trash thread, are there any other cyoa threads (here or elsewhere) that I should be following?

>>2080 Keep an eye on reddit. Its a known community. 8kun has a trip fag lighting a beacon, but its just them afaik

>>2082 >>2082 >8kun has a trip fag lighting a beacon, but its just them afaik Tok? Or someone else?

Tim doko? /ll/anon doko?

Any word on Husanon's Luminary since 4chan died?

>>2092 Did Husanon know to come here? Actually . . .do we have any of our authors here? Aromage, Beri, Italics, Languid Cicada, Micha, Surinical, Tok . . .

>>2042 >Dragons Whore is trying to convince people to use his site https://imageboard.cyoa.cafe I'm not familiar with him. Does he (?) have anonther handle?

>>2102 He's purely a r/nsfwcyoa user and has a patreon where he takes commissions. I don't think he's coming here.

>>2104 Gotcha. I have to salute him for taking a stab at it, but - since he has no 4chan presence - it's hard for me to see him pulling in a lot of ex-4channers.

>>2003 I'm in the mood for Resident Evil-style mutant horror. Any recommendations for a cyoa that will let me visit the Village or raid Raccoon City?

>>2108 There isn't a Resident Evil cyoa unfortunately. But if you want to be a horror monster, there's this one >>165 this one >>203 or this one >>610

>>2108 Here's one that brings the mutants and such closer to home. >>2110 >There isn't a Resident Evil cyoa unfortunately. You've never seen this ol' thing?

>>2110 >>2111 Urban Unease and Cursed City Resident are kind of in the right direction. Maybe something in a design your own evil base, or sinister strike force . . . Oh well. Maybe something will turn up, one day.

>>2074 This CYOA might be good for you. . >>2100 I'm here, for what that's worth. Was most of the way through my latest CYOA when the thing happened, and I'm gonna need a place to post it. Speaking of, what is the policy on NSFW CYOA here? Do we just have to spoiler stuff?

>>2122 Just put NSFW in the title. You can leave it unspoiled.

>>2003 Is it just me, or is Kosmad (the narrator) offering way, WAY too much for a simple wellness check? Immortality AND planeswalking? Makes me think the portal is intended to let him invade. And/or some of the "mistakes" were the real goal. (Great cyoa, by the way. I'd have liked more options to customize my minions, rather than the opportubity to build four races . . .but still a cool cyoa.)

>>2124 I mean, if you were sending a guy in to rescue your friend and this may be your only shot to do so, wouldn't you want them to be as strong as possible?

>>2127 Yes, but actually helping the goddess isn't part of (your) assignment. All (you) have to do is build the portal and walk away. Meanwhile, the immortality and planeswalking are the promised payment for completing said quest. (You) don't get to start with them. And then there's the constant commentary that both the hero and the demon lord will oppose (you), along with the AI substitute for the goddess . . . I could definitely be wrong. But personally, I'd also prepare for a double cross. Jusy in case.

alright PDFs are temporally disable onislop is no more

>>2132 I'm not going to have to go back to /trash/ to post smutty CYOAs, am I? If that's the case, I might consider staying.

>>2134 if we stay in 8chan's cyoa board where nsfw coexists with sfw, that might be the case >Exiled From /tg/ apparent <imminent Lewd Reconcilliation & Board Conquest if most of 4chan's cyoa threads (/cyoag/, /mcyoag/ & /cyoar/) relocate & populate here

>>2132 Sounds like a beta test on Sunday/Monday, followed by a (mostly) restored service later in the week. Well, that's good news. And the pdf thing isn't surprising - they've got to have that hole fixed properly, 'cause you know the wannabes are gonna try to repeat the hacking.

>>2124 good cyoa i spent at least three hours designing my summons

>>2135 It really will be board conquest.

4chan is back. You can make posts. Old thread is here: https://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/95524491

>>2154 >>/tg/ lol lmao even

>>2154 /cyoar/ also has their thread back on /trash/ https://boards.4chan.org/trash/thread/74560219

>>2154 Bro what is with the wait time, I've cycled through four 120 second time outs. Is it just the traffic? I'll check again in a few days, I guess.

>>2154 I will likely be shifting back over, but I just wanted to thank 8chan and its regulars for being good hosts. Appreciate it a lot.

Seems most people went back. I guess it'll be business as usual from here on out.

>>2158 ... aight, apparently I got instant banned the very first post I made for using banned text. I menioned how I was working on my CYOA but was having trouble finding good images of sexy men for the companion section, and also a reply about how this board was pretty nice because it wasn't named trash and I could post multiple images at once. Well, guess I'll be posting my OC here later this week.

>>2164 4chan mods are beyond seething that people had altchans to use while it was down. They despise their user base but are addicted to the power and thus desperate to keep people under their thumb. My advice, just ban dodge. Most IPs are dynamic, unplug your router and modern for thirty minutes, delete your browser's cookies, then plug them back in and you're guaranteed to have a new IP.

>>2164 4chan mods are beyond buttmad. Even mentioning an altchan is enough for a 3 day ban. I know you'll probably go back to /cyoag/ to post with the others but this place will always exist if you get banned again because some mod is still mad or speaks in 'Do Not Redeem'.

>>2167 >>2166 >Even mentioning an altchan is enough for a 3 day ban. Lol try a month. Shame 'cause not only did I want to post my CYOA when it's done, but someone else was apparently making a CYOA about sticking people and waifus into cards from which you can summon them and I desire to make fun of that coincidence with them. Though mine is more about turning people into collectible NFTs with demon magic than participating in a god sponsored battle tournament for the fate of the world. On the upside, I don't gotta talk about there being no updates on ZAKO CYOA to that one guy asking about it.

>>2171 >Sticking waifus in cards So it's basically Wixoss then. That does sound like a good idea though.

I'm still here, was lurking, looking at cyoa.

>>2164 >>2171 It's out now, on this very board. Thank you for having me, /cyoa/.

>>2185 Oh boy!
