Please change your board re-claiming approach or we migrate our communities out of 8chan.moe Anonymous 07/02/2022 (Sat) 03:00:38 Id: a9123e No. 6163
I shouldn't have to re-login when I'm still logged in just to prevent you from handing over the board to some troll who nukes everything. Instead of discreetly handing away the board over without providing any notice to the current BO (most of us use throwaway emails) or community to a potential board nuker, you should first actually post a thread with your admin/mod tag on that board notifying the community that someone has claimed the board and the BO has one week to re-login. For example another board /loomis/ was recently sabotaged by a new board owner (the original one was always there and posted frequently and did mod actions, but didn't re-login) who proceded delete several threads. I on principle will refuse to re-login to my own board, because that's a really stupid system you have where a BO who's still logged in can get his board stolen by a board nuker because you're not willing to make any effort to actually check whether the board even needs a new BO or not and post a notification on the board about a board claim. You are aware that you have several rivals (anoncafe, zzzchan et al.) from your childish webring drama who will exploit this process and nuke boards to bring them over to their own sites, right? If you don't change this broken policy within a week then I'll have you know that I and a few other board owners will be migrating our boards out of 8chan.moe, we all know how to do server and site administration, configure BIND9 DNS servers, find the cheapest and best VPS & domain registration deals (e.g. there are various excellent DMCA-ignoring pro-free-speech VPS providers based in Russia for example, not just your basic bitch pro-censorship globohomo Western VPS providers that you normies settle for), mask domain registration and hide identity with Bitcoin payments, set up reverse proxies, PHP programming (Lynxchan is an undocumented overengineered ANTI-MODULAR piece of trash and Node has ZERO advantage over PHP, the former of which requires a fucking server restart just to modify some code, what a garbage server runtime environment and language, I pity you having to deal with that shit, no wonder it takes days for you to figure out how to fix a simple thumbnail problem on the front-end lmao because of your piece of trash imageboard software that is hard to test and overhyped language for hipsters and corporate yuppies which by the way was never even designed for backend development but for client-side scripting, even the Node creator Ryan Dahl admitted Node was a huge mistake and is promoting Deno as a replacement), MySQL tuning, locking down several points of entry/directories with nginx for security hardening, etc. etc., so don't think we're just puffing hot air.
Which one is your board?
>>6165 Seeing how childish you were with the webring crap I wouldn't put it past you to pre-emptively take away our board ownerships before we migrate because of your apparent refusal to improve the board claim process, where all we ask is nothing more than some notification on the board prior to handing it over to a board nuker.
Is this pasta? Seriously if you're a BO just use an actual email that you check. You can get your report notices sent to it and everything. We DO try to contact old BOs before we do an ownership transfer, but if you don't leave any way to contact you and don't log in (even to see your own board reports which is important in and of itself) then...? Anyway what board do you own?
>>6169 >We DO try to contact old BOs before we do an ownership transfer, but if you don't leave any way to contact you and don't log in (even to see your own board reports which is important in and of itself) then...? ...then you make a notification on the board that the board owner has X number of days (I don't really care how much, I think 7 sounds about right) to re-login before a board owner transfer is completed. That way even if you give it to a board nuker the community has time to archive any threads or copy/save any information they want before the board is potentially given to a board nuker. Why should I or my community continue to put any effort in my boards if it can be taken away abruptly with no notice because you refuse to make a simple notification that takes a few seconds out of your precious life to post?
>>6170 what are you on about? no boards have been transferred in months A. and for B. what do you mean your logged in and its listed as abandoned? that isnt how that works bro. your story is insane paranoid crazy bullshit. and this whole >I have a board and community bullshit. look admins aint gonna say it so I am. your a lying ass cocksucker and I dont believe you. so go tell your lies and start drama the fuck else bitchass polesmoker.
>>6171 Go back to >>>/interracial/ cuckold niggermonkey, this thread is for the admin.
>>6163 Speaking of can you re-instate the /loomis/ threads if you have backups?
>>6169 Regardless of the rest of the arguments his request is reasonable, It wouldn't cost anything to just make a post on the board that's gonna be reassigned in case the BO is around but hasn't logged into his account in some time. I'm a BO myself and although I have no relation to OP I also pretty much only log in so that my board isn't marked as abandoned. Reports are a non issue because the activity is small enough where I can read everything that's posted and log into my BO account if something needs to get done, however I think I can count the times where that's been needed with the fingers in my hand. I believe this may be the same for other boards on the site since in general, boards other than /v/ (and I guess the newest refugees) barely get any activity. It wasn't that much of an issue before I started browsing through tor since then the account would stay logged in but now I have to explicitly do it every once in a while.
>can't even login once per month
So you couldn't even be arsed to login, lost your former dead board fair and square and only throw a bitch fit when someone claims it and deletes one specific thread? You clearly cared enough to check that thread but not to login which takes less than a minute. Fucking disgusting that you got the board handed back to you when you are a lazy motherfucker who won't do jack shit with it.

>>6247 I'm not the OP but I'll comment because my board is the board in question. For the record, I did log in fairly recently-within a couple weeks I'm pretty sure, just to add an email to the announcement banner area. I'm not certain but I don't think the board was formally listed as abandoned. I don't want to disclose the means the guy got staff to hand the board over to him for security reasons and because it was a little silly, but that's all beside the point. >one thread That one thread singlehandedly contained most of the activity of the board which featured tons of art from both /loomis/ users and those from other imageboards. It is very fortuitous the dependable, chadly retainer of ourobooru had been quietly documenting most of it until fairly recently. https://ourobooru.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=drawpile+%2Floomis%2F In either case it is what it is. I've come to accept that I'm no kind of artist myself, and I'm not certain what I'm going to do going forward. Years worth of attempts to build up the community ultimately failed, and I find the board largely abandoned by even those I considered closest. The main reason I reclaimed the board was because the new board owner had deleted my email, and there are still those I'd like to hear from before I-in all likelihood-see myself out in defeated shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOQEWZzz3L4

>>6294 >drama I didn't make the OP and had already hashed things out with the staff in IRC. Everything's cool, I didn't ask for this lol. Incidentally I do agree with the OP that some kind of warning would be a good idea for both BOs and users going forward-though I think instead of a manually created thread it should just be something automatically embedded into the announcement area or some such; a warning message with countdown timer or whatever to when a board will be listed as being up for grabs. Again and regardless though, I'm not even certain my board had formally been listed as abandoned as I had logged in fairly recently so that's potentially all moot.

I should state plainly that neither BO is to blame, and that an anon made this thread without the permission of either BO involved in the issue. We may opt for an additional formal warning process when boards go abandoned, but really 21 days is a long time. Longer than old 8ch gave, in fact. It's a matter we've deferred discussing until the last of the 2.8 situation is settled. This whole event was a case decided by a razor-thin margin of time (1 day, AFAIK), and it doesn't do the site or /loomis/ any good to perpetuate drama. Let the matter be settled, please.
>>6169 >don't log in (even to see your own board reports which is important in and of itself Did you even read his post? He remained logged in. There was no need to login again see reports. >>6163 >>6170 >Muh board nuker and archives You know this site has post restoration options and regular sitewide backups in case of sabotage, right? Nothing is lost as long as you report the problem to the administration before cobwebs start forming on your board. >>6296 I agree with >>6295 Automatically putting a countdown announcement a few days, or a week, before the board ever goes up for claims seems like a good idea. It will also expedite how quickly a board is claimed once the BO lets it go up for grabs through, since everyone using the board will be well aware when it goes up for claims.
>>6296 if an anon isn't able to log in for a period of time (let's say work is busy or some shit or life gets complicated), there should be an option to increase the login's impact, like say, maybe the longer you own the board, the more time you get from a login? Like maybe 5-8 weeks for BOs who have maintained activity for longer?
>>6169 >>6296 When jschan fetches account data for a valid session cookie, it first checks a cache. If the account data is in the cache (short TTL, like 1 hour), it uses that. Otherwise, it fetches the account from the database, updates the account last active date, then caches the account/session data again. This way the user does not have to logout and log back in to be considered active, and the 1 hour cache means you don't need to write to the database on every single request by logged in users. As long as they browse the site while logged in, their last activity will be at worst 1 hour inaccurate (or whatever the TTL of your cache is). I don't know how lynxchan handles login sessions, but it would be pretty stupid if you can't patch it to do something similar.
