I believe it was about at this point ten years ago that one little man had one very big dream to create the perfect imageboard experience. To do this, he enlisted the most competent man known to him and surely to all of us, Joshua Moon, but unfortunately even Joshua's limitless intelligence and unwavering willpower was not enough to reach the promised land, and the result was a disasterous fifteen thousand dollars lost between both the little man and his benefactors supportive userbase. This crushed the little man's dreams, just as his little, brittle bones are crushed daily by the weight of his own blubberous body, but he has long since rolled on to greaters pastures and now enjoys a simpler, nobler life of routinely masturbating to anthropomorphized raccoons in diapers and constant substance abuse. But that dream for a perfect imageboard, long trodden on, smashed, and slammed, remains. As you will all agree, this website has a number of quality of life features that simply will never be implemented on 4chan under its existing administration. By that same token, the long-term posters here has grown accustomed to the bugs and quirks of the website, and the small userbase hasn't justified the development of additional features such as userscripts, extended functionality, and robust moderation tools. I am looking for some programmers, those familiar with JavaScript and Nose.js, to implement some of the features that have been discussed here in the past couple of days. The objective is to modify LynxChan and Aleph to improve the features and security while compromising as little of the usability as possible. Some of these features discussed include: >anti-spam measures such as proof-of-work CAPTCHAs and heuristics analysis >anti-samefag measures to preserve the anonymity of good-faith users >a sound player to support existing 4chan files >hotkeys to open and close reply boxes >new CAPTCHAs that less obnoxious and no longer occasionally wrong >recoloring the greentext to be a little less green Most of these goals, aside from that last one, are attainable, and I heavily encourage those with the capacity to participate. This thread is to be used for discussing the implementation of the above and other desires in technical terms as well as set up correspondence. This project has no official sanction as I am just announcing it, so it will be maintained in separate repositories that would hypothetically be merged in the future. I stand ready, with my finger on the trigger, on an Easter Sunday to christen these two projects, but I hesitate, unable to think of a suitable name that so perfectly encapsulates the wonders we shall create. The first set of dubs shall name the front end project , while the second set of dubs shall name the back end.

>>11811 >>11812 This is a bit late but the biggest difference between SQL and MongoDB is that SQL is a relational database while MongoDB is a document store. If a SQL database is a collection of big arrays of records, then MongoDB is a collection of big arrays of JSON objects. To get any efficiency in MongoDB, the important thing to know is that you still need to set up all of the same database keys. Even if you're not using a database schema to set everything up as in SQL, you'll still need everything indexed. Otherwise it's similar enough, just work through the API documentation and you should be able to make sense of it all. The MongoDB website's tutorials include analogies to SQL. MongoDB has a "development checklist" that might be useful: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/production-checklist-development/

Make "disclaimer4" cookie not be session Anonymous 09/11/2023 (Mon) 20:43:26 Id: fbec5b No. 8469 [Reply] >>9760
Hey site owner, I remember you said you had to put that annoying disclaimer page on to appease your webhost, but could you please change the "disclaimer4" cookie to have a sensible expiry time (say 1 year) instead of expiring after every session? It's annoying to have to click through the disclaimer after every time we close our browser. Since we can already change the cookie ourselves anyway, you'd just be making it smoother for us while still fulfilling your host's requirement.

>>8469 (OP) I was going to comment this in the sticky thread, but I think it looks better here. >could you please change the "disclaimer4" cookie to have a sensible expiry time (say 1 year) instead of expiring after every session? I know the thread is old and now the cookie "TOSYYYYMMDD=1" is used (and that changes all the time), so ideally the expiration time should be at least two weeks. >It's annoying to have to click through the disclaimer after every time we close our browser. The same can be said for mobile browsers. In my case I have a smarthphone with 934 MB of RAM so the browser is prone to close when I open another application that needs a certain amount of memory. This makes that when accessing the chan from there the fucking disclaimer is displayed all the time. For what it's worth I have Fennec 57, but I remember reading about the same thing happening to an anon on the Android version of Icecat or Waterfox.
>>9760 All you need is a script manager and the following userscript https://pastebin.com/BcBkefVC (I tried posting it here directly between code tags but it didn't work.)
i would like to add to this: make the I AGREE AND WISH TO PROCEED not a link but rather a button in a form. something like: <form method=post action=https://8chan.moe/.static/pages/confirmed.html> <input type=hidden name=inbound value=$REFERRER /> <button type=submit>I AGREE AND WISH TO PROCEED</button> </form> and after submission respond with 303 See Other. it's very subtle but result will make compliant browsers overwrite history state correctly.

So how do you delete posts? Anonymous 05/13/2025 (Tue) 07:14:50 Id: c2d6ed No. 14189 [Reply] >>14196
I normally post on /his/ and /k/ on 4chan. My posts, especially on the former, can sometimes be long or have multiple links. Mistakes are bound to happen, so deleting and reposting is common. I just can't seem to figure out how it works here. Can someone actually post examples with images or something? Even when I set a password and then try to delete it using it, it shows some "flood detected" pop-up and doesn't actually delete anything. Some other questions I have. How does creation and "ownership" of boards work. What if I create one and simply stop visiting. Who are the mods there? What if I don't choose enough mods who are active as well?

>>9110 (OP) Having the Local Times option enabled in the settings, the dates of some posts are displayed as NaN/NaN/NaN (undefined) NaN:NaN:NaN in Spanish boards like >>>/hisparefugio/. I think modifying setLocalTime() in posting.js in this way should solve it provisionally.: posting.setLocalTime = function(time) { var parsedDate = new Date(time.innerText + ' UTC'); if(isNaN(parsedDate)) { // If this condition is met, we assume that the date is in Spanish parsedDate = new Date(time.innerText.replace(/^(\d\d)\/(\d\d)(.+)/g, "$2/$1$3") + ' UTC'); } time.innerText = api.formatDateToDisplay(parsedDate, true); }; But I think it doesn't work very well with some dates. As already reported in >>9244 (Cross-thread) and >>>/hisparefugio/155421 the "Relative Times" option doesn't work either. In the meantime the local times can be fixed by disabling the homonymous option, pasting the above code in Settings > JS (changing posting.setLocalTime to setLocalTime to make it work) and add this below to run the function every time that the page loads: var createdTimes = document.querySelectorAll(".labelCreated"); for (var i = 0; i<createdTimes.length; i++) {

Whoever makes Clover or Kuroba operational on 8chan is a hero. Chance allows you to lurk but thinks the site captcha is a cloudflare verification prompt and doesn't allow you to post. Very annoying, the UI is also not very intuitive compared to the above.

Directory Board Anonymous 04/25/2025 (Fri) 12:33:46 Id: c7c9a9 No. 12538 [Reply] >>13089>>13123
Hey guys, just popped by to tell you all I made a directory board over at >>>/dir/ since this site has grown as a result of 4chan being taken down, with all the boards being made I think it's a good idea to have something like this now. OG 8chan had a /dir/ board and this is a direct inspiration from it. I plan to build it up and update it. It is currently a WIP, but it's purpose is to help anons locate boards to choose from for their specific interests. Please stop by and check it out, there isn't much right now as I am still in the process of categorizing boards.

>>12538 (OP) That's useful But wonder how someone new (the kind of person needing this the most) would find this board, without knowing it exists This would need to be linked in the site homepage, like it was few days ago when the admin notice for the 4chan refugees was linking various boards for starters

How to solve all bitching 04/25/2025 (Fri) 21:23:09 Id: ffaa28 No. 12725 [Reply]
Add multiboards to the boards listed on the top add a multiboard catalog. That's it. Group several closely related boards with different rules and moderation under one multiboard and this will solve nearly all disputes about moderation. For example, you can link /vb/, /v/, /vg/, and /gacha/ under a single multiboard, /vidya/. /vidya/ has its own catalog with threads from all the boards, and you can select which board you want to post to in a new thread and be subject to all of its rules. Sick of generals? Just toggle /vg/. Boom, half the catalog gets instantly filtered. Vidya butts on /v/? Mods can instantly send it to /vb/, and it's instantly filtered for everyone with /vb/ disabled while uninterrupted for people with /vb/ enabled. In another example, take /a/, which has been arguing about ids. Link /a/ and /a2/ together under /anime/, and now people can create threads through /anime/ with or without ids just by selecting which board it's being posted to. No more complaints. We have the technology, so how about we FUCKING USE IT???????

This site has a latency problem it often happens that images and videos are slow to load, and that drives away some of the rare people who even discover this place exists The more people this place gets, the worse the latency becomes, the little 4chan refugees were enough to make images and videos load slowly The worse the latency becomes, the more people leave out of annoyance This means this site will never grow to have an high population, the latency acts as a soft cap on the max userbase Is there any server status or server stats page to check to have a better idea of what is the server load and capacity?

Website has been updated https://eylenburg.github.io/altchans.htm >After 4chan's return, its PPD recovered but did not fully rebound to pre-hack levels a week after. For example, the various video game boards together dropped from 210,075 PPD pre-hack to 165,150 PPD, /pol/ fell from 89,475 PPD to 71,475 PPD, and /biz/ even shrank to less than half of its pre-hack activity. This suggests some users either remained active on altchans or reduced their overall imageboard activity. Many altchans retained somewhat elevated activity compared to pre-hack levels, with Soyjak.st's /soy/ + /qa/ at 13,475 PPD (still above the pre-hack 10,225 PPD) and 8chan.moe's video game boards at 23,450 PPD (down from 45,900 PPD but significantly above the previous 325 PPD). Holotower.org's /hlgg/ board notably increased to 24,100 PPD, surpassing its downtime peak, indicating strong retention for Vtuber discussions (whereas 4chan's /vt/ PPD did not fully recover). > >While 4chan remains the dominant imageboard, the hack exposed its user base's willingness to explore alternatives - but for the majority of users it also showed a lack of coordination and insufficient knowledge of other imageboards I wonder what would have happened if 4chan had been offline for a month or longer - or forever.

Request: allow a setting so that the board will hide IDs by default. but when suspected samefagging occurs and enough users vote (one vote per thread) on the same user, will reveal the voted user's id on all of their posts (see image for how 2chan does it) Reference: https://8chan.moe/a/res/23599.html#q27445 Purpose is to help ID-shy users stay anonymous to other users while providing users tools to self moderate their threads.

The OP or auto-flagging of (Me) instead of IDs would be better compromise. If you like refreshing IDs so much make your own thread for it rather than hijacking this one. Refreshing IDs have always been the first thing suggested so obviously a thread like this is made is because refreshing IDs aren't an acceptable compromise.

If I solve a board's captcha, it should also solve the site captcha. I hate solving a captcha only for another one to pop up. It's pointless. There should be only one to solve.
