Just to warn you: a client-side script script to keep out spammers is pretty useless.
It will work against automated, non-javascript aware, non-targeted spam, no?
>>447
A bot that isn't aware of javascript will ignore your javascript-based anti-spam script. You retard.
I've been using PyIB, and someone has hacked and deleted the entire home folder (except .htaccess and pyib.txt). Twice. The script folder is still there though.
Is this kind of exploit possible? I'm relatively new to Python and I don't have any clues of what kind of attack it was. Anyone with experience with PyIB?
I forgot to say that we blocked foreign IPs, but the SSH console was still open to foreign IPs. One day we opened the site to foreign IPs and it got hacked some hours later, which makes me think they exploited PyIB in some way.
The database was fine. They just deleted the files.
post more please!
Hi!!!! LOL
For those of us who are put out by anonIB's current closure, is there any alternative to anonIB out there? In other words, is there a free (or, alternatively, very cheap) method of getting your own imageboard?
Its easy to make your own imageboard, Just get a free host and pick a script.
>>34
Not quite that easy, bro. You have to pick the right free host, one that supports the necessary scripting language (for example, if you want to run Wakaba or Kareha, nxserve.net is pretty good, but I've known other host sites that can't run Perl, also Wakaba needs SQL databases, so you'll want hosting with MySQL support for that...). And then you have to pick the right script for what you want to do (Kusaba and derivatives are generally not good for imageboards that attempt to fill a particular niche, while Wakaba isn't as good for massive sites with many boards, though who really needs that other than big sites I don't know). And then there's getting users for it, especially if it's a niche imageboard... There's a whole bunch of considerations that need to be thought out before making a board, if only I had known to think that stuff out before I went in, maybe 71chan wouldn't be stuck in that stage where the only poster is the spambot from tkwr.free.fr, and maybe I wouldn't have spent a month bumbling around with no real purpose and no niche chosen.
> And then there's getting users for it, especially if it's a niche imageboard...
That is a question you should already have answered well in advance of deciding to start a board. "If you build it, they will come" does not apply.
>>36
Yeah, I said they need to be thought out BEFORE making a board, something I learned the hard way. Of course, now that mine's up, it would be dishonorable to just give up on it, so I have to keep it going, even if I have to turn into what I hate most (4chan-style Anonymous or complete spamfag) to do so.
> it would be dishonorable to just give up on it, so I have to keep it going,
no, it wouldnt, and no, you don't.
There's no real dishonor on the internet anyway, so do what you like.
At least you have a free choice of whose advice to take. Follow your star, everyone else does.
I'm planning to start my own private board for my country, but I have no experience with codes whatsoever, and that image board 4 free site is dead, and to be honest it does not appeal to me. Since I have no knowledge on any programming/coding, where can I hire someone to set up a board for me? I would be most grateful.
I've been tinkering with Python all day today... it's pretty slick. Just for practice, I tried to cobble together a tripcode decoder that would let you have "real" words in your tripcode as !WAHa and Sling and others do, and it actually came out better than I thought it would be. I'm aware there's already a program that does this, but if memory serves me, it's Windows-only and in Japanese besides. My script is kind of dumb in the way it goes about things -- it basically just tears through random strings until it finds one that fits -- but I've tested it repeatedly and it seems to work. If you'd like to check it out, nab it here:
http://www.anre.org/crap/detripper.bz2
Of course, you may need to modify the hashbang line depending on where Python is on your machine, and don't forget those execute bits, people... Use "-h" for help.
First person to ask how to get this to run on Windows gets pointed and laughed at.
how2runonwindows?
>>601
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!
Why exactly do you have that as a non-capturing group?
can someone tl;dr this thread for me?
I just want to make a secure tripcode with words in it, I've been attempting to use >>http://trip-table.com/
but it doesn't seem to be working.
Suggestions?
Just makes no difference in a die condition and adds to verbosity. KISS, lel.
That, and taking a shit on a book in a book store and putting it back on the shelf.
>They were only major during that chanology shit, the only thing about them that was EVER notable.
I'm frankly surprised ANY chan would admit to being involved in that faggotry. Then I re-read and saw this:
>it was major, not necessarily post-wise, but *chan culture-wise; Until September came around and they all went back to school.
711chan has always been a shitty board run by teenagers. It has never been major, and theres a good reason why.
>*chan has always been a shitty board run by teenagers.

I think most of the people involved in the administration of iichan are older than 19. Explains a lot, too.
>>49 Not when it all was started, but now we're all actually legal.
My only problem is that I only really need that feature when I use sage. Because when you sage even on a slow board, that thread might be all the way down. It's just a matter of convinience, nothing that gets me too upset, but it is a visible problem for me.
I don't know about other boards, but using the back button on 4chan after posting is a nightmare. I use opera, so no matter how many times I spam the back button, it doesn't go past the "Updating page" page. There is only one way to go, forward.
Nokoing is something on 4chan that lets you see your post.

I wrote a new imageboard in 2ch style that is designed for anonymous local discussion.
the address is http://www.localchan.com
I'm still trying to get it off the ground, but basically if there were a lot of posts on the site, then you'd only see posts within a range of your geographic location. I'm looking for ideas to make this site better. Not sure how to reach a more international audience with this. It's cool because people could have discussions in different languages all on the same board without stepping on each other.
Could you provide the source code for this board? I'd like to establish something similay for Germany.
I figured since the threads about the English *chans on the English *chans' own fora usually create drama, flamewars and trolling since the respective community usually gets defensive about "its own site", this could be a good place to talk about them, even though the board is losely associated with WAKAchan.
Don't let that bother you, though. This board and the idea for it have been older than WAKAchan. It won't really matter where you are coming from or if you even want to talk about an English *chan (4chan, iichan, 5chan, fchan, 0chan, etc.) at all or rather about a Japanese, Chinese or Taiwanese *chan, imageboard or whatever. Rational arguments above usernames and community cliques!
This thread should just serve the use to make a few remarks about a particular imageboard site / community, how they relate to each other, what differences, opportunities, etc. there could be, both from a technical standpoint as well as from a "sociological" standpoint, if you want to talk about that. And of course, there's more...
Please try to refrain from trolling this thread too much. Also, please don't pay any trolls herein too much attention, i.e. don't feed them. Let's keep this civil, everyone!
It's probably a proprietary closed source script like 4chan's yotsuba script. It kinda acts like it to when you click someone's post number to quote them, it doesn't automatically bring you back up to the post box like wakaba and kusaba and it's clones do.
Wonder if it has stickies and other stuff like 4chan's script does. Also, what language is it programed in? PHP?
Probably never: http://mise.x25.se/
>I would really like to see the concept of an image board divorce itself from Japanophilia/otakuism.
Then we must stop calling them "chan".
Think about it, so many chans. Here's a short list:
Kona-chan, Tomo-chan, Sakura-chan, Chiyo-chan,
Shin-chan, Yuki-chan, Haruhi-chan, Jacky Chan, OMGKawiidesu^_________^-chan
and many, many more.
5chan.org went up recently. The domain was skillfully claimed by a reddit user, who decided to combine the anonymous image-posting features of 4chan with the voting buttons of reddit.
The result was... confusing. And there weren't many posts on it at all until they created a /34/ board, which immediately got flooded. Three guesses to what it was flooded with.
Innovative? Maybe. But probably won't catch on.
If features made an imageboard, then 99chan would have died long ago with its nonfunctioning "hide thread" and "watch thread" placebo buttons.
Hello test.
Well, I have yet to see this topic crop up. What are the best webhosts for imageboards?
Features to consider:
*Allow adult boards
*Fairly high bandwidth and diskspace (inb4 LOL ONLY 3 POSTERZ ROFFLE)
*Reliable uptime
*Support for wide variety of languages (comes up all the time in regards to Perl)
*Will auto-ban your account for using serissa
So, what host do the anons of /soc/ use?
Dreamhost is pretty good as long as you keep your CPU load down and don't expect 100% uptime. For the price, the bandwidth is just fantastic.
>>14
Please ban him.
Fucking troll, he's fagging up every board he finds.
How do you necessary host a website on your computer? WTF?
> unless you're in some crappy country where bandwidth is ridiculously expensive, that is.
I guess this includes USA since most ISP terms of service here won't let you run servers, although actual bandwidth caps aren't too common.
Unless you were suggesting colocation? I haven't seen that cheaper then $50-70/month.
but what is the best Host? this thread doesn't make me wiser.
I'm about to start an imageboard too.
Things that are inportent to me:
> unlimited bandwith
You're already setting yourself up for failure.
>>20
One, it's not wise to register domains through your web host.
Two, if those are your requirements, give up now.
- Adult content will rule out a lot of quality hosts right off.
- 99% of hosts claiming unlimited bandwidth are marketing bullshit. There's no such thing. They will bust your ass as soon as you use more than a few GB.
- In the very odd case you manage to find a host that actually will commit to these requirements it will either cost much more than 120 bux per year or will be horribly-managed shit that goes under in 2 months.
> 4chan is down because of DDoS attacks, stemming from a bunch of guys that are angry that moot doesn't want to move #4chan to lulznet.
-Kirtaner (of 420chan).
No real reasons to distrust this information, really. Let's hope it didn't hit 'em too hard. I must say, with the traffic that 4chan get, it must have been one fucking tidal wave of a DDOS.
i miss /hc/
FUCK WHERE IS 4CHANNNN???!!!
i posted here because 4chan is down
I miss /u/
We will it be back up?
M00t where are u?
i fucking miss 4chan.
/b/ =(
what the fuck another DDoS?
Hi all,
I have a quick question -- some time ago I saw this imageboard-like website. It was a sort of 4chan on drugs -- no message made sense, the images were random, etc.
Now, this was due to the fact that the whole thing was, in fact, randomly-generated. This idea amused me.
As such, does anyone know of this site, and where to find it? (before you kindly redirect me to jfgi.com, I did.)
Thank you
I weren't serious with my first sentence. >_<
I don't use a tripcode... so no idea what you meant by the second line.
The "ID:Heaven" part I couldn't figure out so I assumed it was some clever tripcodery. But then I see it all around this board...maybe it was for mods or something.
What is it?
No, it isn't for mods is it. Hmm. Americans?
>>7
Hint: lurk, you're looking stupid.
Second hint: use sage.
That still doesn't answer anything. I've lurked plenty long.
>>9
You must be talking about 420chan.org It has its own dedicate drug talk section of imageboards.
Since 420 was mentioned -- NetJester does something like OP wants, so... Get your hands on NJ?
Hi, I am looking for a barebones and efficient text board script. Preferably with at least some basic functions such as tripcodes.
Also I have some questions about text boards. How much space do they usually take up? How much does this board use to store all the accumulated posts from years ago?
How come you took down yer BBS software?
Do you still have it if so, mind uploading it?
>>53
i have a copy of it here: http://hotaru.thinkindifferent.net/tablecat/
I feel terrible! I re-uploaded the latest files I had on http://bbs.tablecat.co.cc/ along with previous versions
>>59
I just checked right now and that does not appear to be the case. I have not removed them or anything.
It is possible you may have been trying to access the website during one of its many downtimes. I apologize for this, I am using a free web host.
