We're back, and I also decided to write my own lightweight textboard script in the time span of 14 hours. It's called "REchan r3" and is based on design principles from Kareha, Futaba, and Shiichan. Get it here:
Not everything has been implemented, but most of it has.

Wait a few hours for DNS propagation, or if you're really impatient, add the IP to your local HOSTS file -- it's at 209.51.196.242.
Have any of you guys considered NOT just stealing 4chan's old page layout?
>>184
DNS has updated at the central servers, maybe it's just your ISP caching an old IP. Also it's just rechan.eu.org, no www.

It's user-agent fuckery.

i dunno, i think it's okay to start on a free host as long as you can find something if it gets popular. that way if it doesn't work and you stop caring you haven't spent anything.
that's how fchan started out, and just about when it was pushing the bandwidth limits some dude offered to host it. which was nice. (god knows how it lasted so long on a host that disallowed pornography, but there you go)
There was talk of creating a distributed imageboard system using many dozens of free hosting accounts. Unfortunately I haven't seen anything develop from that.
>>192 that was what wakachan used to be waaaaaaay back when iichan died the first time. We moved away from it pretty quickly though because of how shitty free hosts really are!
Its a process, let it be
Staying fragmented leads to all sorts of infighting like to see one mongo chan, a collection of all the other chans, to be created
However this gives any attacker, be he legal (cia) or not (hired gun), access to bring down ALL the chans
Staying fragmented allows imageboards some degree of freedom and safety, at least until the average joe catches up
Then we have to change tactics again
>>194
You are aware that r4 was an interim solution and not intended for any serious use,right? r4 is no more. There is no r5 either, I abandoned the one-script-per-board idea and went for something more like Shiichan. REchan now uses s0 script.
where can i get Overmind BBS 1.0??
>>197
Jesus Christ. The first post on that board was CP. Looks like the mods aren't planning on deleting it either, they just added a red "user was banned" message. (I think that's what it said anyway, I can't read their moonspeak.)
now it's gone....several weeks later :(
have to lol as it's Swedish (flagfox detects it). I swore their laws were stricter or enforced more...eh
go to http://www.2ch.us/ for a good list
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.
I thought that's an interesting idea, but they forgot to actually moderate the site so it's full of trash now. To the extent that it's full of anything.
And worse, saging in a thread lowers the score. That's not how it works :(
So... am I the only one thinking that 4chan has turned to shit on every board possible? That western memes and reaction faces are less and less funny? That no board will ever become the new active and original place on the anglophone internet?
>>213
Everyone has thought this every year since 2005.
It's fun for what it is, you just need to avoid getting too wrapped in it or taking things too seriously.
Adding country flags to 4chan was a dumb idea and ruins anonymity.
Discuss.
>>220
I don't think it ruins anonymity; most boards don't have the country flags.
I don't like how the country flags are forced on boards where they are enabled. It would be nice to have a tickbox to select to display a flag or not.
