Throw ideas to improve the site in a nutshell.
8moe could be a paradise for fetish boards & earn a reputation as "Sin City" or "Vice City" marketed among the other imageboards. We already have /tkr/, /vore1/, /zoo/, /abdl/, /interracial/, /delicious/, etc. The perpetual lust of the porn addicts will keep them browsing, and their numbers would be a base -- if circulated -- to flow into making central hubs other than /v/. Rather than marginalize these boards, we cater to them. Have a tan for the coomers like z-tan & migrate more coomer communities here. Embrace infamy

>>9460 We need a new politics board since >>>/pol/ is too heavily filtered
(179.25 KB 1080x1080 picrelated.jpg)

[re-posted from the "Operation Organic Activity" thread] >I want to shill, where should I post? There are a lot of small communities on cuckchan that would migrate well into this site. Boards like /trash/ are home to many threads with hentai addicted weirdos that would fit in well with a dedicated board here. By pointing out the large file sizes and multiple images per posts that this site has you can attract the porn dumping communities pretty easily I would hope. By targeting the small niche boards on cuckchan you can attract smaller more dedicated communities that are more likely to create entire boards with worthwhile posters or content rather than just the inane soyjak spam that occurs on the big boards. <https://boards.4chan.org/trash >8chan is word filtered Consider using images to shill url's instead of text, but try your best to make your posts organic and well meaning, otherwise you risk your post looking like bot glownigger spam.
there should be a display of how many replies a post has, like in other imageboards. It's sometimes very hard to follow a thread without it.
>>9466 I have absolutely no clue what the fuck you're talking about.

One thing I miss from cripplechan was the +18overboard. So I think it would be a good idea to separate the overboard into a SFW and a NSFW.
>>9519 Right after the backlog of being able to filter boards by language gets filled 6 years from now. So in 10 years the hue tranny will tell you he doesn't like the feature and refuse to implement it.
>>9520 Llevas años llorando por esta tontería trivial. Estás obsesionado, viejo, consíguete un pasatiempo.
>>9519 This has been a feature for years. Third and Fourth entry on the navbar. "Overboard" is NSFW and right next to it is "Overboard (SFW)".
>>9523 That doesn't help at all.
>>9534 Would you look at that, but what I meant was an overboard that's exclusively porn. On second thought, it would just be blacked shit and literal diaper shit, so lets not.
>>9536 Yet another reason the overboard needs the ability to blacklist individual boards.
I still am mad at >>9523; he should've been posting in the Hispachan... Grrrrgh!!! Fuck!!! Why do they never do that correctly? Why does this always happen to me?

(83.62 KB 1517x376 8flags design.png)

New board: >>>/8flags/ It is a hybrid of /ck/, /k/, /vr/, /an/, /mu/, /u/, /mlp/, /fast/ into one board. What is the idea of this board? The idea is to combine the smaller boards on 8moe into a larger community, whereby by crossposting on the same board /8flags/ everyone from each community will benefit from numbers & activity. The chaotic hybridization of these different boards will hopefully lead to interesting interactions.

>>9460 Overhaul the whole front page and make it look like this ffs
>>9567 To this day I am unsure what "velocity" meant other than a thread being active.
Shift-click to hide a thread from catalog. An old feature from Prime.
i would like the 4chan filters, so threads with certain keywords can be hidden or highlighted individually with the option to limit the filters to individual boards also want 4chan's option to move the content to the middle of the screen instead of it being left-bound basically just add all options that 4chan had, that 8chan doesn't
never mind im retarded but my second request is not so!! could you make it possible to make it optional for you to be sent to the bottom of the page when you make your reply? I agree being sent to the bottom of the page and being shown your reply encourages you to read the whole thread before making your post but sometimes its just annoying! maybe some stupid jap phrase when typed into the the name, subject, or email field negates it??
oh and can you make it so you close/hide the quick reply with the escape key and open it with q like 4chanx?
There needs to be a way to report threads from the catalog without entering them If you see some bad shit you don't want to click the thread (obviously), but that means you can't directly report it
>>11958 also shift + left click doesnt hide threads like on 4chan would be good to implement here
>>11958 inline replies only work for 1 reply and dont cascade down replies like how 4chan does it
>>11976 i didnt mean to quote that other post if there was a window of time to edit posts after sending that would be a godsend kiwifarms does that
>>11976 also shift + left clicking on a reply from inline view doesnt jump to the post like it does on 4chan. currently theres no way to jump to a post when using inline replies. pls fix
I want the ability to reverse search images using services like yandex, iqdb and saucenow, currently because to the disclaimer page is impossible to search images using these services.
>>12073 The disclaimer was added because a nigger would upload CP and then report his own uploads to get the site in trouble, would also do this with archival services to get all 8chan archives past and present deleted.
>>9460 I second this >>9567 maybe somehow move boards into categories like all porn related together, dead boards together moved to the side or just remove them reverse image search function
>>12092 I understand, I still think there are ways to implement a reverse search system for image files while limiting the ability for the nigger to fuck everything up, one option would be to skip the disclaimer page when the media is being accessed from certain domains like saucenao, tinyeye and iqdb, another option would be to generate a temporary link for a media file that would expire in one or two minutes, just enough time for iqdb to download the file.
It would be cool if multiple file posts thumbnails reliably displayed in a grid instead of a single column on mobile

Mirrion dorrar idea: -Do not ban new users learning the site shenaningas-
>>11888 ok, there is now a userscript called "8chan catalog filter" which works fine, though it's not as good as on 4chan, yet other feature-requests still standing

>>12181 jannie got bullied in school and is on a powertrip. hey admin, build this site like 4chan and they will cum.
>>9460 Add support for AVIF image format.
>>9460 some way to quick hide threads from the catalog Also some sort of quick save and loading of personal settings, watched threads and marked posts over tor without needing to log into anything, like downloading/uploading a html list of settings or a hash that can be copied and pasted
Could we also get flash games to play on 8chan? It would be nice if swf files could be played. If possible, dcr (shockwave) too.
>>9460 Fix the fvcking board list by removing a lot of the oddly specific board for general one. Videogame and Videogame general should be the same board. And Videogame but like /b/ also shouldn't exist either.
Divide the site into SFW and NSFW parts. SFW should be the default upon the first visit.
Image reverse Search? really don't feel like asking people for source or sauce
>>12864 I’m pretty sure we’re blacklisted from saucenao.
>>12881 >blacklisted from saucenao Why?
>>12887 Probably because of our name. We're boogeymen.
>>9460 I've read some anons still missing the boards they used to visit like /i/ or /mu/ While to replace every board of halfchan seems like a bad idea Why not make a /hobby/ board for that kind of content? Also i think is there an issue on how the icons interact with setting the browser automatically in a dark theme so thanks to that haven't seen the "pic related" icons of the site for a while Could you give it a look too?
At the end of the top boards list, why not have a more page link so its more obvious about the other boards? >>9570 Posts per hour?
please make so that when you're in catalog view on one board and you switch to another board, you view the catalog view of that other board, and not the normal view.
(398.63 KB 1427x1582 8ch_frontpage_criticism.png)

the overboard needs a catalog and a board exclusion feature like a reverse multiboard: /overboard-excluded1-excluded2/. i swear i remember making this exact suggestion years ago when 8chan was more alive. >>12073 also it breaks file downloads on android firefox and tor browser. frustrating. >>9567 you made me remember how i made suggestions like that for the front page all the way back in 2016. i'm not an 8ch regular for years. dug this pic out deep from a folder. believe it or not hotwheels did see it and implemented at least some of it. actually i think that's what your image is heh. >>11888 fuck it if the dev is lazy just make a /catalog.txt in the format of "thread_no text thumb_link\n". then at least linuxnerds like me will be able to use tools like grep and fzf to filter threads. likewise for the overboard in the format of "board thread_no text thumb_link\n"
>>12957 (actually how it looks now on 8kun.top must have been the result)
>>12957 >board exclusion feature like a reverse multiboard: /overboard-excluded1-excluded2/. I suggested the same thing years ago, though I called it an overboard blacklist. the idea is that I want to use the overboard to see all posts on the site so I can find new boards and get a feel for activity around here, but there's specific boards that I know I never want to see, so it'd be cool to just exclude the ones I know I don't want, and have everything else for discovery
(273.00 B css.txt)

add this compact css or let me click a bookmark link that bypasses the disclaimer and imports the settings including css
put the little "Remember to follow the Rules" text with the link to the board's rules page in the quick reply box, right above or below the reply button. most people use that instead of the one at the top of the page, but since that button doesn't have the rules link near it, they forget to check the board's rules when they're new.
>>9460 Can we PLEASE get a feature which lets you download all the images in a thread at their full resolution? It's like the most obvious feature for an imageboard to have but I've never seen it implemented.
>>13369 Doesn't DownThemAll serve that purpose?
>>12935 >Posts per hour? That isn't what Velocity meant, otherwise site PPH on 8kun would have been utterly insane. That would mean the shit taste thread on /b/ in that screenshot was getting as many posts as several entire boards. You can also see by the reply count that's just not how fast those threads actually are. I think Ron posted about how Velocity was calculated before but I can't remember what it was.
>ideas to improve the site pin this thread?
>>13472 Might be similar to my idea of “buoyancy”, which was a system where threads get “heavier” the more replies they have and move up fewer positions in the catalog per bump because of it while also sinking at a faster rate of it it isn’t bumped.
Given the amount of spam, an image description tool and a check as to whether any of the words produced match keywords in a dictionary, which could then be used to flag content as being nsfw and automatically spoilering it. Alternatively, it could be reverse searched to a booru where it would check whether it is tagged as explicit. The md5's would also be flagged as being nsfw and be autospoilered on sfw boards.
Implement an image detection system using off the shelf projects like YOLO11 to stop spammers. Implement perceptual hashing to generate image finger prints to blacklist or whitelist images. I posted this on /v/'s meta thread but I'm going to repeat it here, the system would work like this. >user posts image >image gets tagged by the image detection system >if with image contain certain keywords or combination of keywords, like black man and sex ,or scat the post is withhold >then a global or local volunteer/moderator checks the post >if its a false positive, the volunteer whitelist the image and frees the post >is a positive, the volunteer blacklist the image and deletes the post and ban the user This way the only people who will see the images are the moderators, board owners and volunteers.
Can you put a thread on the watch list without posting in it?
>>13956 Click the eye icon on the OP.
>>13661 >Given the amount of spam Where? Which boards?
when i click a button (like refresh a thread) make it disabled when its request completes (success, failure, timeout, dun matter) undisable it EZ i just want to know if it did the thing without having devtools open
you can get better listing on google with the seo addon if you can get it working again. breaking diff: https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan/-/commit/b59b6e96e1422e24a0383aa6692debb5cb0d4b08 you can limit the crawler to sfw boards with robots.txt User-agent: * Disallow: / Allow: /gacha/ Allow: /co/ Allow: /vyt/ Sitemap: https://8chan.moe/vyt/sitemap.xml Sitemap: https://8chan.moe/co/sitemap.xml Sitemap: https://8chan.moe/gacha/sitemap.xml
I put some finishing touches on what I could salvage of the old /cyber/ CSS adapted to use on lynxchan, and changed the url bits to point towards resources on >>>/res/ since Codexx told me that's how it works, might be nice to have as a native CSS option with a bit of tweaking.
>>14239 And a copy of the old vichan version for corrections where they might be needed to make it look more like the original.
>>13390 That only saves thumbnails. There's no way to expand all thread pictures to save them in high res.

A selection box , checked by default, which indicates that the file you are about to upload is AI sloppa and thus will be deleted in (time). There is no reason whatsoever for the board to store AI generated images beyond the active life of the discussion to which it was attached. Total media size: 2.79 TB
Freeze new board creation until the site is actually stable. Also start forcing a cap on board size. Right now this place is at a happy medium but it's constantly breaking. The #1 feature is accessibility. Also stop counting failed captxhas as flooding attempts
>>14815 maybe no on freezing board creation but what if new boards started out with smaller caps and got promoted? i guess you'd need to grandfather the really old boards in or come up with some PPH/PPD formula
I would like to see a /tg/ board.
Can we finally get shift+click-to-filter? We had this on Prime god knows how many years ago, I don't want to burn your asses but come on guys, this should have come before an oekaki or filename obfuscation. >>13640 That's a kind of radical but not terrible idea. Would threads also fall faster, i.e. fall even if nothing is bumping them out? There's an issue of new threads not getting many replies on posting before being buried under regulars, cyclicals, and generals. There's also the issue of really old, large threads getting "bumpfagged" every few weeks/months even after discussion dies.
>>9460 Ban leftists AKA Blacked fetishists AKA /interracial/
I think it would be better if, for long posts, it said "Expand post" or "Show the whole post" instead of "Details." That would be more intuitive.
