I'm wondering, where can I contact the guy who ran the Easymodo archive? I'd like to re-host http://archive.easymodo.net/jprules.php somewhere, now that it can no longer be linked to.
I think the easymodo owner was the guy who wrote fuuka.

He was. His name is eksopl, and his email address is eksopl [at] gmail [dot] com
However I believe he has a brain tumour, which is why he closed down the archive. Contacting him may be difficult.
Besides, a few other people have already created their own archives:
http://fuuka.warosu.org/
http://archive.foolz.us/
http://jparchive.dyndns.org/
http://fuuka.bwaka.net/
It's not the archiving I'm after, just the /jp/ rule page.
Thanks, I'll try to contact him.
A brain tumor... That's really sad. He seemed like a cool guy too.
This I managed to rescue, they're not the full rules except for the ones marked with a *.
Welcome, new user to /jp/ - Japan/General! Hah, just kidding, this isn't Japan/General.
This is Touhou/Visual Novels/Doujin Games.
If you want to discuss the different places you can visit in Japan,
I suggest you go to /trv/ (though they also seem to hate Japan there, so don't annoy them too much).
If you want to discuss the Japanese language, go to /lang/ (yes, 4chan has text boards!).
If you want to discuss anime and manga, go to /a/ (some series that are based on light novels/VNs/games
like Marimite and Higurashi can also be discussed in /jp/, it really depends, so lurk a bit to see what's acceptable).
Finally, if you want to talk about Japanese history and culture, go somewhere else, nobody here knows or cares for that stuff.
/jp/ was created as a board to get rid of Touhou and visual novels from /a/, it was never intended to be a board about Japanese culture. Most of the users here don't care about Japan, we only care about lolis and doujin games.
Ok, you already learned the true meaning of /jp/, but you aren't ready to post yet!
There are some rules you have to respect in /jp/ if you really want to be accepted!
Rule 1*: Take it easy - We don't care about how inuyashasgirlfriend1997 made the most retarded weeaboo video in youtube and you "raged" for 26 minutes to it while killing your cat with your keyboard in the process. Or how some kid in Gaia plays Touhou and FS/N. We just take it easy, since we know the cause of most of these things are kids acting like kids (and if they aren't kids, we know they are just retards). This also means we don't want stupid drama.
Rule 2: Don't respond to trolls.
Rule 3*: Don't use smilies - Smilies aren't accepted in /jp/, please refrain from using them. We are all heartless bastards who don't want to see what kind of faces you make IRL while posting (This also applies to reaction images, if you want to post them so badly go to /a/ or /v/) Exceptions: ;; (Life-like texture ;;), 2ch smilies and ransmirk.jpg
Rule 4: Keep your memes in your board - We aren't meme fans, try to keep your memes in /b/.
Rule 5: Irony is art. Sarcasm and irony are funny, however "LOL I DONT LIKE THIS SO I HAVE TO ACT LIKE A RETARD XD" isn't accepted.
Rule 6: Be tolerant. Excessive swearing and "rage" isn't cool.
Rule 7: Avoid trolling. Please know when to stop.
Rule 8: GETs - GETs are dumb and boring, nobody cares about a stupid number.
Rule ?: Requests - If you want to download "X," check /rs/ first.
Rule 10*: Reports - Nobody cares if you reported a thread, it's not like the OP is going to delete the thread just because you reported it. Don't make single-word post saying "reported," it only leads to dumb meta-arguments about what "/jp/ really is about."
Rule 11: Images - Refrain from posting lewd or NSFW images. Ecchi is fine. If you do post a NSFW image, at least spoiler it and warn about the content.
Rule 12: Don't be a "normalfag" - Most of the users here are loser weeaboo "NEET"s. Normals are not welcome here.
Rule 13*: Sage - In general, sage doesn't have a negative connotation in /jp/. It doesn't mean "I HATE YOUR POST," it's just a command that lets you post without bumping. Sagebombing is also fucking retarded, a single bump can ruin your entire sagebomb and if you reach the bump limit the OP can just recreate the thread. If you don't like a thread, just hide it using 4chan's Firefox Extension.
Rule 14*: Grammar and spelling - Type coherently. Firefox has a spell checker, there's no excuse. Also use proper capitalization and punctuation. Yes, we actually care about that.
Rule 15: Tripcodes - Don't use one without a good reason.
Rule 16*: Don't post an ambiguous /h/ doujin/picture without the source. Otherwise you'll start a "sauce request" shitstorm. If you don't have the source, then please specify it in your post so that you'll save your fellow /jp/ers some time by not having to ask you for the source.
Rule 17: Don't roleplay - Roleplaying is retarded, if you want to roleplay, go somewhere else.

Wait, I thought it was a joke. Is it serious?
>>7
I have no idea what's actually wrong with him, but he is very sick apparently.
>>7
Wow, I really like this. It sort of reminds me of newsgroup FAQs.
I wish more boards published unofficial rulesets like these.
OP here. I managed to find the rules posted somewhere and am now hosting them. The page is my own as I was never able to contact eksopl but they are the same word for word, with a slightly changed (and very minimal) layout.
Eksopl does have real health issues which are apparently very serious, he spent time in a hospital and he doesn't want to talk about it publicly, but I'm not sure if it's a tumor.
I think that idea stems from people joking about Eksopl and AoC (Who did have a tumor) in the aftermath of Easymodo's death, and then people took it seriously and so the confusion began. Chinese whispers, you know?
But then again, you might be more informed if you're in touch with IRC, and maybe even Eksi himself.
>>12
Shortly before the Foolz redirect and warosu/jparchive/etc. table were put in place, archive.easymodo.net was a blank page with a notice saying eksopl had a tumor and would be quitting the archives.
Unless eksopl or the other staff did it as a joke.
