My Date with Itou-Life EditionPost custom made 3D Hentai structured around music here. Doesn't have to be MMD, doesn't have to contain dancing motions, and not to be confused with HMVs made with already existing 3D clips. MMD clips without music that would cause a fuss in the 3D hentai general are also welcome here.Previous: >>8767991>Videoshttps://www.iwara.tvhttps://fantia.jphttp://video.fc2.com>Better Iwara browserhttps://oreno3d.com/>3D SexDance index:https://controlc.com/b686b84a>Anon's VR Collectionhttps://rentry.org/anonsvrmmd>Anon's Iwara Search Add-onhttps://github.com/Cuckdev/SemenDaemon>How do I create it?Check out >>>/e/mmd for technical discussions>Why not post it to the 3D Hentai General?The focus on music and dancing of most MMD content has sparked endless drama and thread derailings there so there was a split. So far both communities have benefited from it.>OP Sauce: SHIELD1001
My new hobby is sifting through MMDs on youtube and finding the ones that actually have full-on nipples and pussy in them. It's great. The fact that I'm watching them somewhere that they're not supposed to be adds a very mild extra feeling of naughtiness, but more than that I just like how they are usually paced to be be teasing and a slow reveal; That's the kind of content I usually prefer on Iwara anyway. Most of these channels on youtube aren't even alternate places for existing creators on Iwara like you'd expect, these people are making anime smut dances and posting them *only* on youtube just for the love of the game (as far as I can tell)I'm hesitant to post this because literally *any* extra attention given to these channels means they're going to go away faster. It's really a matter of when, not if, these channels get banned and all the videos get deleted. But hey, it's fun to talk about it.
>>8803128Same. Its the reason why I was looking forward to sfw.video hoping that creators who make teasing/stripping videos in the same way you described would upload there as well but that didn't turn out well. Its also why I wish Iwara had a proper tagging system or a community tagging system like sadpanda.Niconico isn't that great anymore even with a VPN now that you have western creators clogging up the searches and recommendations with their safe boring videos. Now its just searching certain keywords on youtube daily hoping to find someone who uploads hidden smut. It's also how I find some new creators to follow on iwara.>posting them *only* on youtube just for the love of the game (as far as I can tell)I think it is. Its a huge PITA to make a new google account and google will (temp?) ban the phone you're using to recreate accounts. No reason to go through all that effort just to upload sexy MMD.
I just want to cum.
>>8803128>>8803132Off the top of your heads, how many channels focus only or mostly on Vocaloid models?
>>8803128Totally the same, I love it, though I'll admit I don't know all the keywords and tricks for finding them. Sometimes the algo is a bro and just recommends them but its rare.
Hi frens, SemenDaemon dev here. I have cooked up a second addon over the holidays. This one is targeted at uploaders. If you do not upload videos on Iwara, it will be mostly useless to you.It offers two features:> User stats - displays interactions the user had with your content, such as which videos he liked and which ones he commented on, you can now see this at a quick glance in any comment section, as well as on the forums>Like charting - Charts likes from a video on a line chart using the ChartJS lib (see pic), which allows you to see the performance of your video and compare it with other videos of yours, or those from other uploaders.If you are interested, you can find more details, as well as the download link here: https://github.com/Cuckdev/Artsy
>>8804108That's pretty cool! I wonder with this data retrieved, would it also be possible to display the most recent N likes across all videos, or from the past X days?
>>8804122That would be pretty easy to do, not a bad idea. I could add a list of say latest 30 likes onto the main addon page.Maybe comments as well, comments are harder to miss since they generate notifications, but replies to comments don't.
>>8804108can I use this even on another account?
>>8804174yes, everything will work except for the friend monitoring, since you can't access someone else's friend list
>>8804108Looks neat but when I try it, Iwara seems to be stuck on a loading circle page when I access the site. I'm use Firefox and GreaseMonkey.
>>8804530Are you sure it's related to the addon? Iwara sometimes does that on its own. Try ctrl+f5 or restarting the browser.I use firefox and violentmonkey and also tested it in chrome + tampermonkey and it works fine there, so I don't know what would be causing your possible issue.
>>8804595Yea, when I disable it, Iwara loads normally. Maybe it's conflicting with some other add on I have or something. Works fine when I try it out on another clean installed browser.
>>8804108Is it possible to make semendaemon to add color or highlight the boxes in the search result of videos you've viewed before? Great script fren.
>>8804604nice chart, but it's missing one entry
I wish MMD artists went to comiket, I'd love to shake hands with some of them.
>>8805235what in the russian botted hell is that?
>>8805516I'm sure more than a few of us went there, as visitors of course.I don't think there are 3D /h/ animation cons, let alone MMD specifically...
It's down again
Just started working on something
>>8805633she lied about being a good girl...
>>8805632Surely this is maintenance to fix all the performance issues, right?
>>8805633Looks good! Very cute.
>>8805633>lips>stealth flashing
>>8803128My favorite are the ones with slightly see-through skirts, shorts, or dresses. I don't know what is going on if the AI doesn't catch it or what, but I see this more and more and most of the time it's what I prefer.I always try and double check if there are other ways of watching the youtube channels since they can just SMITE down channels out of nowhere. I also enjoyed many months ago when the mirror floor effect was going on, admittedly that only works best with certain outfits and dances but its' neat.I also like that many videos are 4k or close to it which my VR headset makes look better.Oh, and thanks VRANON for posting more videos. My brain is cooked.This captcha is way out my wheel house after not posting frequently.
>>8805633Sanae is a lewd girl
boys if its not up in a few hours im gonna have to actually look at all my downloaded stuff for once
>>8805633Sanae is a fucking slut (and we love her for it)
iwara goes down just when I bought lossless scaling to make those 30 fps videos smoother with frame gen
Owari da...
Owara da...
>>8805633Is that at one of those japanese beach foodstalls you see in anime.
iwara goes down just when i bought 28TB hard drives
>>8805983>>8805983no why would you do that to the videos yuck
https://x.com/ngon_mmd/status/2006247917477355875>he's continuing the Satisfaction WIP from 2023we're so back...
>>8806108God this is the shit I wish furui still didJust give me more sex dances
>>8805983>iwara goes downAH! I was afraid it meant my state was blocking them
>>8803128Holy shit I thought I was the only one. It feels like panning for gold considering how many thumbnails are just clickbait. But it finally pays off when you find the actual lewd stuff.Speaking of which, I hit the jackpot on MMD youtube a while back. There was a channel uploading actual, unedited iwara porn. Stayed up for maybe two days before the videos were removed and the channel was either banned or renamed. It existed for nothing but the love of the game
>>8806115like obviously I could just go to iwara and see as much degeneracy as I want. But there's a special novelty to seeing slutty 3D anime girls next to completely benign SFW videos
>>8806115>>8806120if you're here gooner anon I hope you strike again one day
>>8806126kek why do they even do this? theres no ad money, barely any views. how are they even discoverable?
>>8806033where the fuck are you buying them from? everything is so expensive now
>>8806128>why do they even do this?insane usage of free will>how are they even discoverable?sheer luck and sorting by new
>>8806136>>8806126>>8806120Cannot find that Onahole channel or did it get taken down recently?
BB WIP frens
>>8806174Fantastic.
I forgot to cancel my pikpak membership and it got auto renewed. So I guess I can dedicate about 7 of the 10 tb to upload some stuff. Anyone want anything? I figure this might be a good chance to try and get my stuff is organized.
Here is a dumb question. Did anyone know how to bypass Pixeldrain's limit?
>>8805189hmm, not a bad idea, but it doesn't use A links so i cannot leverage the browser's clicked link history, and i don't want to store the clicked videos myself since it would be needless additional complexity, but i have an idea how to get around it while still levering the browser's link history and thus keeping it simple, so yea i will add something like that
>>8806256I have a simple user script that adds A tags around the results to see visited videos.
>>8806283Yeah that is what i meant by: the way to get around it, i will leverage hidden A tags to get the history functionality in a simple way
>>880604130 fps looks like a slideshow, almost every other video is 60 fps so the frame gen just brings it in line
>>8805983>boughtyou bought scaling?what?scaling ai tools are free
>>8806120>already nukedThat was fast.
>>8806138>>8806356The filenames suggest the screenshots were from September bros...
>>8806358I'm drunk and retarded, didn't even notice the filenames.
>>8806001No it's some sort on indoor bar but I'm not 100% set on the environment yet.
it's down again
Are you shitting me? AGAIN?They seriously can't keep it running for a single day anymore?
>>8806328It's steam sale at the moment, LS is like $3 in local currency
>thinking about spending another new years alone jerking off like a loser>iwara is downWhy is even the universe cucking me like this?
>>8806508Be like me and work on your MMD while everyone else is celebrating.
anyone know how long they will be down?
>>8806565Forever...
Iwara's been a dead zombie ever since the chinks discovered and invaded it, it just finally collapsed. Good on it to end.
>>8806114I wish there was a specific tag for these auto-dildos
Holy fucking shit the new mijo video is extremely god tier tit shake animation god DAMNBut for now it's only on fucking iwara which is down again
>>8806676>Please be patient while we try and figure out our situation. We'll post an update once we have a full understanding of what is happening with our hosting services.>Iwara.tv will be down until further notice.It's over.
iwara enforcing no goon january
>>8806508The universe is telling you to develop a cucking fetish so that, even in these trying times, you can find pleasure in the pain.
If you didn't buy wura, you have no right to complain.
>>8806565It's over.Iwara isn't down due to technical issues, but because they were taken down by cloudflare + their server host, due to the type of content the site hosts.It means that if Iwara comes back they will have to likely do extensive content purges, aka say goodbye to all loli content or any character that is canonically under 18 (due to CF rules it doesn't matter how mature the character looks, only the canonical age)But what is even worse, they don't seem to even have a database backup for the website and it's unsure if the server host will give the DB back to them.
thank god i downloaded every of my favorited videos from iwara and also manga from nhentaiim still not over the pornhub purge a couple of years back but ive learned my lesson and always save what i like locally
>>8806786Just to clarify, this is not any sort of official statement, It's just what I heard from one of the mods few hours ago.
>>8806787I hope your collection is large and juicy because you aren't getting any new content any time soon ;_;
>>8806786big if true, how can I monetize this?
>>8806806big nose rearing its ugly head here
>>8806828Consider it payback for all the times people laughed at me for downloading stuff off iwara.
>>8806829i've always told them to download stuff too but idgaf about iwara vids other than this onebut i'm still making fun of the silhouetted handrubbers
>>8806806please sir, i don't have any money, can you spare some insect videos?
>>8806796nta but my backlog alone is about 1500 videos
>>8806789>not even a screencap of the convoNice larp
from the discord
>>8806937what possible reason would i have to lie about it you dunce?
>>8806957for money and fame
hanime1 seems to be down too sporadically, getting cloudflare/server errorsPerhaps iwara and the like just can't handle all the lonely nerds at home for new year visiting the site all at once
>>8807008>hanime1Is there an english language option at the site?
>>8807027No. That site is intended for chinese gigachads only, your whittu piggu ass needs not apply.
>>8807027Haven't been able to find it sorry, I used the translate function on edge/chrome
Based, he posted it to fantiahttps://fantia.jp/posts/3832477
Well, since it doesn't seem like iwara is coming back any time soon, I guess I'll just post this now.I had a bunch of creator's pages open and was just about to get to work when the site died a second time.Looking at the thumbnails I was looking forward to the most recent eroro69, sabayan765, ちゅぴ, and syupi's year-end compilation. pain.haruhttps://fantia.jp/posts/3823036muramurahttps://fantia.jp/posts/3805640QNRhttps://fantia.jp/posts/3812245dustmemoryhttps://fantia.jp/posts/3819995uozumihttps://fantia.jp/posts/3828383meethttps://fantia.jp/posts/3829099==sex==maloxxhttps://fantia.jp/posts/3799020KingHagehttps://fantia.jp/posts/3822362あちゃhttps://fantia.jp/posts/3824354pigtarohttps://fantia.jp/posts/3824526ILAKAIDOUhttps://fantia.jp/posts/3827002meer - iwara version was shorter but uncensored, not sure if there's a best of both worlds out therehttps://fantia.jp/posts/3804417

mega trooner* to join the...discord
Iwara was always living on borrowed time being hosted in the us.
>>8807045Man, I love Radral, but those bimbo balloons are too much
>>8807296that's like the best possible place to host it. not many other countries let you host lolicon
>>8807316wouldn't Japan be a possible candidate as the source nation?
>>8807313Perfect for me
>>8807318Then you have to censor genitalia
>>8807370it's gone forever
>>8807427proof?
Does anybody know or have a guess on what happened to bengugu? Their twitter, @bengugu945, hasn't posted anything since 2024 which doesn't mean much of anything due to them posting through 2025, just no updates there. But on their patreon,they've been radio silence since August. Any guess?, have they taken a break?
>>8807443he's dead
>>8807040whats the chinese tag for loli?typing loli itself in the search bar doesnt provide any videosbut the general overview shows thumbnails with such characters in itso how to filter for/against them?
>>8807431
>>8807475貧乳
Details are leaking through. Cloudflare received several CSAM reports which they deemed accurate enough to block Iwara. Official statement was simply "we were too lenient with what we allowed some users to do". Supposedly it was Blue Archive stuff which wasn't tagged as nsfw or loli. Server host shut Iwara down after getting the news from Cloudflare. Admeme sent a request to their host in order to retrieve their database, but has yet to receive a response.Tl;dr: It's bleak.
>they didn't make daily backups of their database and make multiple copies stored at multiple different placeslol...lmao...Iwara deserves to die.
>>8807698I thought Cloudflare was just a service to protect you from bots an such.If Cloudflare dopped their protection for iwara shouldnt the site itself still be online?
>>8807714Cloudflare is a man-in-the-middle attack as a service that moonlights as the gestapo. Probably behind the damn bots too.Iwara was renting their hardware though, so their provider just shut it down after Cloudflare canceled them.
A couple of retards ruining it for everybody as usual
Hard to believe that no mirror site exists which backuped all of Iwara for exactly this scenario.
>>8807058How do I acess Fantia posts? Do I need to make an accounto or something?
>>8807443He always took huge breaks after projects, specially as of late, can't blame him though, his animations and camera angles are top notch, he mostly post Patreon stuff now, his last post was during half of the last year, I think? He might be just cruising with patreon bux til he comes up with something later, Ngon also been doing the same
I hope they fix it somehow, Iwara was THE hub for HMVs and smexy vids, losing it would be akin to our own Alexandria burning. The alternatives are not even close, HMVMania is shit, PMVHaven is filled with 3dp garbage and Rule 34 videos is messy and laggy all the time. We are in the dark ages now..
>>8807698Of course it's fucking gachafags ruining everything.
>>8807832Pay up baka gaijin.
iwara? more like owari
Eh, while it sucks that I don't have a reliable site for my lewd mmd fix anymore, it felt like Iwara had already gone to shit long beforehand. I swear they never recovered from chinks flooding the site during the late HI3 to Genshin era, and when Iwara was kill I was only genuinely looking forward to, like ONE creator out of all my subscriptions (I subscribed to him fairly recently)
>>8803128>It's really a matter of when, not if, these channels get banned and all the videos get deleted.case in point, one of the channels that I liked got deleted just days after I made this post. Small mercy, I looked into the videos more and it appeared that they were all reuploads (I tracked down one video as being from Bitch Knight, who I usually don't like that much but seeing the video on youtube was hot as fuck)still sucks thought because their playlist was really hot and now I don't have all those videos I liked all in one place, and I sure as shit don't remember all the authors
iwara fix: make everything a torrent and when you use the website youre seeding like that old popcorn time thing
>>8807779This is why gatekeeping is good.
>fantia restrictions>dlsite restrictions>nicovideo bans>iwara taken downI hope the japs are starting to see the full picture.
>>8807958japanese follow the herd we need to get them on to i2p
>>8807960is there a way to do something like >>8807943 on i2p?
>>8807958they'll just take their ball and go home by setting up more gaijin blockers
>>8807960>i2pIs there anything currently worth it on I2P? I never looked into it.
>>8807963no but you can torrent over it but it's unusably slow. >>8807961kek no but at least it's censorship resistant
>>8807958japan is like 10 years behind the west. so they are barely going to start the shitfest that has been the last 10 years
>>8807958>>iwara taken downunrelated to japan though
noooo krag-sama please don't use that other side
>>8808011where else though
message from the admin
>>8808023>new rules and moderation criteriait's over.
>>8808028Tags are useless if not used propertly. Other than that...
>>8808031a more enforced tag system would be fine I guess, just keep loli around xd
>>8808028probably they'll just be a lot less lenient about the loli tag being applied, previously it took several warnings before a ban>>8808031yeah and if they hadn't taken two years to (still not) implement community tagging, this whole drama might've been avoidable as well
>>8808034Iwara might have gotten in troubles from most of them not being tagged as such.
>>8808022idk... it's like 240p bro i'm gonna cry
>>8808011where? was the sanae video released?
>>8807698>>8807779>>8807859>Supposedly it was Blue Archive stuff which wasn't tagged as nsfw or loli.Always knew these two green gremlins were trouble the moment they got their 3D models and the feed was filled with their 'dances'
DatahoardersGODS stay winning.
>>8808048and no
>>8808063Even though most iwara videos are compressed down to the 200-300MB range, I still find myself saving around 5GB of content a day
>>8808088What? Do you at least replace them with higher quality versions once they're available?
>>8808468I have higher quality archival for specific artists that I reencode with av1. Currently clocking in around 6.5TB of iwara compressed videos and around 4TB of mixed original + reencoded artist archives.
>>8808470>reencoding
>>8808471Where did you get this picture of me looking at a 1080p video with 100,000+ kbps bitrate
>>8808034seriously all they had to do was implement sadpanda's tag system and none of this would have happened
Anybody got Tiamat's new stuff?
>>8807698>>8808051Blue Archive wasn't the only one for the Loli tag, quite a few things with the "jk" and "mesugaki" tags didn't have a loli tag even if they should have, many "mesugaki" also lacked the rape tag.Genshin, KanColle, Raildex, vocaloid stuff and others where also often not tagged propertly.
>>8808023Welp, everything after 2023 is gone if no one reuploads themThe internet is in a downward spiral for a decade already ever since it became mainstream.
>>8808028unless you post loli shit it won't affect you in any way
>>8808565it's so over, there were some new videos in the past few weeks that I quite enjoyed
>>8808565They are so unbelievably incompetent I hope that database is actually corrupted.
>We have the technology. We can rebuild it better, stronger, without all the slop.But they won't, will they
>>8808565>>8808581you DID download ALL the videos you liked RIGHT?That is literally the number ONE of internet.
Reminder this is all a false flag to try and pin this shit on lolicon bros. Iwara's problems started months before this cloudflare "report".
>>8808583You sound like a very ungrateful little shit.Iwara was like the only site on the internet with good mmd and koikatsu content which had had a lot of artists uploading there and was very active.And yet all you can do is whine and complain.Now iwara is dead and you have nothing left, all the alternative sites are either trash, paid shit or have 0 traffic.So congrats, you are now the king of ashes.
>>8808565Fuck, been waiting to download gk404.fanbox.cc/posts/10902035 Raikou/Crash the Party in VR for a month now since that host was fucked up. Now it might be perma dead?
>>8808565>Deletes most of the Koikatsu contentThis is a win in my books.
>>8808599To plays devil's advocate, yes Iwara was one of the best sites to see mmd stuff, lewd stuff and other things, but this doesn't excuse their incompetence to do a regularly backup, especially what's been happening since the last past 2 years where Iwara, dlsites, Itchio, Danbooru, Gelbooru got kicked in the balls by Mastercard/Visa and western governments because they disagree on the questionable content they don't agree.With the biggest irony, these hypocrites defend irl predators and don't do shit against them.Heck even steam got under fire in 2025 because they allowed certain games.With all the shitshow explained, I am surprised why Iwara didn't back up their servers at least once per month in case a fuck up happens, which literally happened as we speak.Also, kinda ironic the captcha on 4chan is from cloudflare...
how does tagging loli stuff as loli stuff prevent something like that from happening?you can still view and access it and of course report it
>>8808619Yeah, I agree that not having any database backups, something so incredibly vital, is inexcusable.
The past couple of years have been extremely hard on me and my porn addiction, it's like the world is trying to cure me without my consent
>>8808627The harder they try to cure me the deeper I let my addiction burrow.
>>8808619because their goal is not the morality aspect of it. It is performative morality so they can appear to be virtuous. They don't give a shit about the underage bullshit they just want to appear moral.
>>8808635Oh dw, I fully agree it's not about morality.1984
Rule 34 video wins again baybe
>furui released something good for new years but with a crappy fixed camera angleI get that he probably didn't animate the face but I wish more of his stuff was actual sex with good angles of the body and not just the crappy teasing.
all smiles
>>8808699shit you store iwara videos in hydrus?
Just stay positive guise :)
>>8808753all smiles here bros
I had been downloading and backing up most of the stuff I liked but there was some stuff I had to put off because I was having to buy more storage, just didn't have the space for it yet. If Iwara's outright kill or they have to go back to a 2023 backup there's probably a solid terabyte of videos I meant to grab that are gonna be a huge pain to find if not actually impossible.
>>8808625Iirc the loli tag blocks people from viewing the videos without an account and explicitly whitelisting loli content, so at least at a glance it makes it look like there's nothing like that on the site.
>>8808699how about you share some of it you stingy fuck?We are literally starving out here.
>>8808862The issue is many people don't bother tagging loli content and what is even worse many people don't tag it on purpose because that way their video gets more likes and views as its not hidden by default, they will even remove the loli tag a webmod has put on the video (this is why that one 100k follower uploader dlsomething got banned before)
>>8808594If you exclude all the Koikatsu slop, I probably have more of Iwara backed up than Admins do. Even with metadata going up to mid 2025 when they added cloudflare's cookie fuckery and broke API access for my local lib.
>>8808565>no one reuploads themno one can reupload them, uploading videos from other artists is not allowed unless it's transformative like HMV
>>8808885Basically Fight Club Rule:You do not talk about Fight Club.You do NOT talk about Fight Club.They were many MANY videos that weren't properly tagged.As well, even if you had an iwara account, you couldn't remove the loli tag from the blacklist, the admin or mods of the site had to manually approve your account in order to be able to change the tag list.If Iwara ever comes back online, I suppose the Admin and his mods will manually check every single video if they're properly tagged.There is no other way I could imagine they could do it, unless they would use AI but everyone knows how this will go.
>>8808900reupload them to a fileshare service, genius
Does anyone have KoiPringus' fanbox stuff? I need the Tiktok 5 fuck video and the Marine sex one.
>>8808914yeah sure just drop 20TB of videos on your mega free account and give a link for everyone to download them, great idea
>>8808918You could, if you split it up in 20GB chunks and you're willing to make 1k throwaway accounts.But it would be easier to just have a paid account.Or even better, just make a torrent, it's not that hard.
Wtf, i waiting holiday to download 3 months worth my bookmark video and iwara suddenly when error and decide to mass purge all their video... Noooo!!!
>>8808882you didn't listen, you don't deserve charity
>>8808885>>8808903Leaving the tagging entirely up to the uploaders was a dumb decision. If they wanted creators to have control over "official" tags, then let them. However, there should've also been a separate section for community-voted tags, especially if they're relying on tags to hide the loli content.The search function had limited usefulness because of the lack of proper tags. And now creators would rather untag loli to improve discoverability than properly tag things so people can actually search for what they're looking for.
>>8809011Having community voted tags basically saved Sad Panda when the shit hit the fan on their side.It was even better when each tag's score was visible, because certain things can be open to interpretation (less in video than in images, I guess), but they removed that for some reason that I now forget.
>no hmvWhat a fucking faggot, think the dude is a mod too.
>>8809023Was there really no HMVs on iwara before 2023? Somehow I highly doubt that
its fucking ogre
>>8808579but i like loli
Kanaebros.....I don't even know what to say anymore....
Kanaefags deserve nothing but suffering.
>>8809011>Leaving the tagging entirely up to the uploaders was a dumb decision.It wasn't really a decision as much as desperation since their sole coder works at glacial pace and just couldn't complete this feature in forever, it had been promised since the first day of iwara 2.0.The real dumb decision was in sticking with that awful coder, and him not allowing community code contributions.
Iwara is run by jeets aren't they...
>>8809043I thought it was russkis
I don't even know why MMD creators only upload on Iwara. There are millions of hentai sites that have way more traffic. There are boorus that allow any kind of tag. Why Iwara specifically, seems really dumb
wait so we are losing 2 years worth of uploads?
Should I just start uploading my favorite MMDs from the last 2 years to Rule34?
>>8809024there were HMVs dating back to 2018 if i remember correctlyt. went through all 300 pages of HMVs a few months ago
>>8809081>hosting files on another shitty siteWhy not just make a torrent? It's not even that hard.>>8809060Because Iwara was literally a site made for MMD? Name some other site that was made specifically for MMD but has more users (or even roughly the same), I'll wait.>boorusA booru is completely different from what I've seen on majority of them. It's not something designed for following creators you like in an organized way or be able to interact with the creators. And boorus generally don't re-encode videos, iwara however does.There's more differences but that was just the first few things that came to mind.>>8809088Yeah figured there were older HMVs than 2023.
>>8809036Kanaebro, it may be over but, at least we'll always have the memories....
This is why you gatekeep...they should never had changed the name from trollvids...
>>8809116If you guys have any of the kanae models please post them. I have....things to do.
>山本 made a Reimu and Sanae animationHow different.
>>8808470>higher quality archival>av1That is not archival, that is ruining the video quality.AV1 is literally designed for low bitrate, not high quality.If you want high quality, you'll either not re-encode or use H265 if you really can't afford the storage.Storage is dirt cheap and you can't unfuck a video once you're ruined it.If it's just for yourself and you have no plans to share, that's fine. But don't call it high quality, because it just isn't. AV1 blurs details and that's by design.
>>8809166>Storage is dirt cheapAnon-chama....I don't know how to tell you this but....don't check price charts or forecasts.
>>8809175I literally have over 70TB of storage, you don't need to tell me anything lmao. HDDs are still quite cheap. It's not RAM which got a 4x price increase.Yes the price has increased, but it's still dirt cheap. And I'm saying this while living in a place where 22$ per TB used to be normal, unlike other countries where it's more like 14-16$.Of course if you want 70TB of storage, it's gonna cost you, but being a data hoarder is a hobby and you should be able to afford it if it's a hobby you care about.Also depends on how you treat the data, cold storage will last much longer, giving you more for your money, if your main goal is to just preserve data.Biggest way you can save money too is to wait patiently by buying when there's sales, unless you desperately need a HDD right then and there, which you most likely don't.I've just ordered 2x 24TB HDDs :)
Maximum Mamucium has made all of his shit free to everyone for the entire duration Iwara is down.https://www.patreon.com/posts/147314858
>>8809190Thanks for the heads up.
>>8807045This video is singlehandedly holding me over until iwara gets back.
>>8809070They should still have the video files since those are on multiple different servers, but all the metadata from the DB is in question whether they can retrieve it, so description, tags, comments, likes, favorites, playlists etc.
>>8809023Can you really not get it up unless you have shitty rap in the background?
>>8809179Any tips/suggestions for data hoarding?Cause have 1TB empty SSD on my pc which was planned to hoard Mangas and Images.Else planned to buy tons of TB storage for videos but no clue how to store the SSD/HDD since my PC has limited space.
Wasn't there an Iwara ripper or was it killed?
>>8809190>DO NOT REUPLOAD OR SHARElmao, how can people say this with a straight face, after posting something for free online>>8809206If you want to make the most out of your space, use ECT (Efficient Compression Tool) to save quite a bit of space without it throwing away any quality.Alternatively, use lossless JXL (Make sure it uses d0), but remember to use ExifTools to export all the metadata properly, as JXL would discard that, if you even care about metadata.Just make sure you have an image viewer that can view JXL files if you plan to use it, or switch to one that can, or build your own lmao.Don't use SSD for storage, it costs a lot more per TB and for images and videos, a HDD is plenty fast for normal use cases as a decent HDD can easily do 200MB/s.By limited space, do you mean inside the PC itself or around where your PC is?If the case can't fit HDDs inside it, maybe consider some external HDDs, or something like an IcyBox dock that connects via USB. The HDD should be just as fast with an IcyBox dock.Other than that, if it's something you care a lot about, make sure you have a copy of the files on a separate HDD and also make sure to hash them and verify the files on both HDDs against the hash once a year or something.Run CrystalDiskInfo every now and then to see if your HDD is about to fail or not and listen for odd sounds.If you already have a 1TB empty SSD and you don't plan to use it for anything else, you can of course use that, but ideally you'd have a backup to another drive.And remember, cloud is not a viable backup. It's way more costly in the long run and you have no guarantees.If you want to store for example 6TB of data that you want to ensure survives, you need to be ready to buy 12TB by getting 2x 6TB drives.If you live in a place that has risk of earthquakes, fires or other things, consider storing one of the HDDs with a friend or somethingTry your best not to data hoard. It's a pain, once you start, you'll keep wanting more :(
>>8809207YT-DLP could download from Iwara, but it had problems a while back but maybe that was due to Iwara servers having a stroke.Not that it matters at the moment, as Iwara is down anyways. But if it does go back up, give YT-DLP a try.It may be a CLI and not a GUI, but it's relatively easy to use once you get the hang of it.
>>8809212I meant a site just ripping Iwara's vids. I remember there being one and being able to watch some vids that were deleted.
anons anons anons did you see?iwara just dropped official avatar hoeswhat do you think?
>>8809216Which one is the stupid bitch that never works right

>>8809220Then its time the Japanese make some porn of Mikoto receiving rough correction while Hime gets lovey dovey baby making sex in missionary position
Here are your servers bro.

>>8809231there is literally no point in it 98% of videos on iwara are not worth even watching let alone downloading, because they are low effort repetitive slop
>>8809233Most of it are actually from those multi tb mega dumps back from arca, that I was too lazy to sort...I'm regretting it a lot now.
>mikotorape correction>himeball busting sadist
>>8808656leftism in a nutshell
god i want to see hime fucked by insect dick so bad
>>8809215mmdfans? It's been dead for a while
>>8809231Thank god I realized this way before reaching that point and stopped. Gooning addiction is already bad enough but when you combine it with drugs, depression and data hoarding it goes from a slippery slope to a vertical cliff that's almost impossible to recover from.
what do you make your videos in anons? mmd? bledner? vam? koikatsu?
>>8809252i was thinking about data hoarding videos some time back but then i realized it would be a waste of time and money. I have a small collection of about 60GB of videos which i watch often and love.If i had 20TB of videos 90% of them i would probably not even like enough to watch more than once
Please, make Kanae animations. Please.
>>8809258NO!
>>8809258Anon, I think it's time for you to either give up or start making them yourself
>>8809258who the fuck is kanae
>>8809267A cute girl.
Since Iwara's down I may as well post this, a selection of 51 videos by ratzy, link is base64 encoded: aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci9wMmtVVkJRSyNyS1B3WHNFLVA3aFJScUlEZi00cENBI only just started downloading, but it's a start at least. Hopefully this makes at least one anon happy.
>>8809231how do you even jack off to all of them
>>8809300I've lost quite a few loads to ratzy's klukai's winning smile and erotic dances
>>8809300his videos are nice but sadly i am unable to stay hard unless the girl has a visible QOS tattoo and is being pounded by a BBC (or multiple). Got any good videos like that?
>>8809220i can fix her
>>8809302
>>8809302I don't get off to MMD anymore. I get off to seeing my storage used go up.
>>8809233But I am I gonna find the 2% worth downloading if I don't download everything.
>>8809216I was going to comment there but was unable to log because my acc doesn't exist anymore...
>>8809166The higher quality archival was not in reference to AV1 being archival quality. I said higher quality archival for specific artists because I was holding onto the original quality videos and archiving them. I then said I was re-encoding them to AV1.>Why AV1I'm definitely not trying to make backups in the original quality given the filesize
>>8809219need hime and miokoto correction
>>8809179>being a data hoarder is a hobbyNo it isn't, it's a mental disorder.
Is piconano-femto actually dead forreal this time
>>8809397you don't need an account to comment
>>8809445says the one commenting on 4chan
So what now?
>>8809510just gotta wait
>>8809305I think of his Klukai videos as some of his best, but the first one I saw of his was Miku GimmeXGimme so that will always hold a special place in my heart.
>>8809510We recover from porn addiction and become functional members of society
Hoarding is useless without curation/sorting.If you can't find something in your collection, it effectively doesn't exist.In fact, iwara still has access to all of the files EXCEPT the DB, which is what tells them which file is what.
>>8809523Why is she almost naked? She is singing in public in front of a crowd. This makes her look like a common whore.
>>8809233>not worthFor your own sake, no of course.But we data hoarders don't watch everything we have. So while 98% might not be worth watching or even downloading, it will be to some people.Assuming of course a data hoarder is willing to share. Which is how data lives on, because data hoarders spend time and money to preserve what others don't.>>8809302Data hoarders don't. I have all of E621 archived, probably haven't even looked at more than 1% of it. Same for my Pixiv archive where I have 4.3 million images/videos.>>8809300base64 does literally nothing, schizo.Here's non base64 link: https://mega.nz/folder/p2kUVBQK#rKPwXsE-P7hRRqIDf-4pCA>>8809445I agree, but it's also a hobby. But being on 4chan is worse of a mental disorder.Without data hoarders, you'd have nothing.>>8809531If you start to filter out things you personally don't like, then the archive is much less useful for others.As for sorting, it depends. All people realistically give a shit about, is who made the video. People know who they like.If you want extra sorting options like tags it's a nice bonus, but not strictly necessary.It can also be done afterwards if you want to be able to search through it all based on the content.If you're hoarding for yourself, then nothing is useless if it satisfies yourself.
>>8809601>Same for my Pixiv archive where I have 4.3 million images/videos.JFC, how did you manage to download all of them!As well yeah, data hoarders rarely wat h every single thing they download, they are the safety net if a site gets shut down and all is lost.
>>8809665Just use Gallery-DL, but remember to have it set to download the JSON because by default it does not do that.I specifically have Gallery-DL set up to name the files similar to how PixivUtil2 used to name them. I was originally using that to download, but it kept having issues.Basically never have issues with Gallery-DLHere's my config for Gallery-DL incase anyone cares: "pixiv": { "metadata": true, "filename": "{filename} - {title}.{extension}", "directory": ["Downloads", "{user[name]} ({user[id]})"], "postprocessors": [ { "name": "metadata", "mode": "json", "base-directory": "Pixiv Metadata", "directory": ["{user[name]} ({user[id]})"], "filename": "{filename} - {title}.json"1/2
>>8809665And for actually downloading, I have a simple python script that also tells Gallery-DL to construct a database, in order to avoid re-download something I've already downloaded, in case it's moved or whatever:https://files.catbox.moe/gn4cuf.pyJust requires you to pip install pyperclip, as it copies the user ID on your clipboard.If you want something that downloads specific artwork instead, replace /users/ with /artworks/ in the code.But for mass scraping, I generally have it go through a "PullList.txt" (local to the script) that consists of thousands of IDs: https://files.catbox.moe/dragda.pyBut normally I use that for the first time I've touched an artist. If I want to update existing artists, add the option "--abort", "3", to the parameters, so that it tries to download new posts, but skips that entry in the list if it encounters 3 files in a row that is already downloaded.It's not foolproof, so sometimes I run the full download every now and then, but it saves a ton of time when I just want to quickly update stuff.The JSON files are a bit redundant, because it saves one per page of artwork, rather than one per artwork, but you could use a script to purge the extra ones I guess.Enjoy data hoarding, or if you don't plan to, maybe this will help someone else who planned to hoard pixiv stuff.2/2
>>8809686Going through all that effort when you can just install the pixiv downloader userscript.https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/432150It also constructs a database and keeps track of your downloads.
>>8809693>all that effortEverything is already made lmao, it downloads exactly how I want and what I want.>It also constructs a database and keeps track of your downloads.Okay but does it keep track despite of you moving files around or possible renaming them? Can it bypass typical browser limitations where browsers are forced to download files to the default download directory?Can it mass download literal thousands of artists and remember to use them on the next run? How does it name the files? Does it download the JSON files in a seperate folder? How good actually is the database and is it easily available?Because I highly doubt a userscript doesn't have a fuck ton of limitations. They typically do. My script however doesn't have any of these issues.Also doesn't require having a browser open, just a lightweight python script.>requires you to make an account just to download a scriptLmao
>>8809451oh, js was blocked. ahha...
>>8809695Assuming you're asking genuinely:If you need it to download elsewhere, you can specify the folder/filename you want it to go to. I don't personally use that as I move them into my actual viewing database later. Not sure why you'd want it to track moving the file, it's not like you're using this database to view it.No JSON files though, so if that's your deal-breaker this is a no-go.For downloading from properly tagged boorus I use my own autisticly set-up gallery-dl config. But not everyone cares about boorus.
>>8809702>If you need it to download elsewhere, you can specify the folder/filename you want it to go toYour picture literally says "Not supported by Violentmonkey" lmao>Not sure why you'd want it to track moving the fileNot necessarily track moving the file, but track having the file, despite moving it. So it doesn't just rely on "Does this file exist in X directory?". So that even if a file was moved or renamed, it wouldn't redownload, thinking I don't already have the file.>No JSON files though, so if that's your deal-breaker this is a no-go.Yeah I need the JSON files, for tags aswell as all the other information that is stored in them.The script you recommended is nice for the casual viewer, but I don't think it should be recommended for anyone who is serious about archiving Pixiv artists with its limitations.And yes I was asking genuinely and I appreciate that you responded to some of the questions.
>>8809707The database keeps track of the metadata and files you've downloaded, so it doesn't redownload them again even if the file on your drive has been moved. To me, that's a feature. You can export and import the database in case you need to switch browsers or export it to another program.My bad about the link, forgot greasyfork blocks adult content for non-signed in users: https://sleazyfork.org/en/scripts/432150-pixiv-downloaderAs I said I don't need it to make folder structures so I haven't bothered using a different userscript engine to do that but the screenshot was to show it could.I wish iwara was back online so I'd stop taking time to make posts on 4chan.
>>8809732>but the screenshot was to show it could.Yes maybe in some specific browser, as FileSystemAccess API can bypass the retarded resctrictions, but unfortunately that does not work in every browser, like mine.Which means being forced to save in browser's default download directory, along with everything else I download from other sites, which is a huge pain. Aswell as the clutter it would make, having every artists artworks merged into the same folder.Could be fixed with a script if it downloaded the JSON files since that tells what files are what, but since it can't do that either, the userscript is useless to any real archivist in several ways.Glad it works good enough for your use case though.
Wallpaper Engine's workshop still has reuploads of Iwara stuff if you're desperate for something
>>8809742kek
>>8809300Downloaded this cause I thought it was from patreon, found out it's just iwara videos. Better than nothing I guess.>>8809308cherrypepsi
>>8806242no one?
>>8806242>>8809754Just make a torrent so people don't have to pay to download what you have. Or just upload it there and let people pick instead of asking
ngl, the guy doing the hime mikoto qa shit...cringe af
Also how does web hosting work, I thought all their shit is being held hostage, how can they still use the iwara.tv domain. Wouldn't cloudflare just come and fuck them again even if they moved to a different host? Which host would want to host them now they're being targeted by cloud flare?
>>8806242>>8809754I think https://www.iwara.tv/video/hgsEpfRlVV658q/re-condais the only one I'm looking for. the other links I had opened before it died was just random recent uploads.But I second the other anon, just upload whatever shit you have so people can choose and grab what they may have missed
>>8809784the write is a girlAnd while yes it is a little bit cringe, i find it also charming. The site is getting fucked over by their host so instead of keeping it dead for a month until they migrate they are doing this little show in the meantime. It's nice and it gives iwara personality, making it more than just some generic porn site.
>>8809903>it gives iwara personalityIwara never gave a shit about you. If they did, they would have backed up their stuff instead of being this extremely incompetent and uncaring.The story shit is just them pretending to care about you because they don't want to lose their users, and not because they care about them.If they end up losing a ton of their data, that just means it'll cost them less.It would be funny if cloudflare didn't actually do anything, they're just pretending they did, in order to cut down on the cost of running the site.
>>8809904paranoid much?if they don't care about the community why allow hosting anime loli content which is a big risk to any website?why host the site at all?>moneyyeah nah, premium and wura sales barely make them enough to cover the server costs my only complains with iwara was how INCREDIBLY slow were they to roll out any updates, like the new tag system they were promising for 3 years now
>>8809784Its worth it if artists draw porn of them and/or give us the 3d models for mmd videos.
>>8809906Paranoid how? Because I'm not so naive to think that random sites give a shit about me?If you genuinely believe some random site give a shit about you, then you're a schizo, take your meds.>why host the site at all?Fame, money or the feeling of having accomplished something. There's plenty reasons.>why allow hosting anime loliIt appeals to a huge audience and makes more people want to be part of the site.>premium and wura sales barely make them enough to cover the server costsAnd you've seen their bank statements to confirm this? No of course you haven't. You're a schizo who take anything they write as facts.>new tag system they were promising for 3 yearsAnother sign that they do not give a shit about you. So far there's been many signs to show they don't give a shit about you, but 0 signs that they do.It's kinda funny that your only issue is how slow they were with updates, rather than something more serious, like their servers always taking a fucking shit, making it impossible to watch videos 50% of the time.
>>8809904you're right, we should boycott the site when it comes back
>make an amazing BA blacked MMD>disappear afterwardsEvery fucking time. I miss Jellymoobean
>>8809939He died.
>>8809927I agree with the point that them not having a database backup was completely inexcusable.Like are you shitting me? That is literally the most vital part of the operation. Without the DB you have to reset everything and start from zero.
>>8809939Jellybean is still around and working on a new project but you SEVERELY underestimate how hard it is to finish a project like that.Jelly has a full time job, so making a project like his last one could easily take him a full year even if he worked on it daily, not to mention he is making this new one in blender iirc which means he also has to learn blender too.This is not some garbage stock animation koikatsu slop you can shit out in one day, it literally takes months and months of hard work per video.
>bro just make 50TB backups every month, are you stupid???
>>8809958The database file is like 3GB you retard.What makes your comment even more retarded is the fact that they have back up of ALL THE VIDEOS as in the whole 80TB or so of videos are backed up but what they don't have is the 3GB database file lol
>>8809955>>8809927A bit of misinformation here. They DO have backups, but those backups also got cut off because the host disabled access to every internal server, not just the public facing ones.If they didn't care about us at least a little then the ads would be much worse, for sure.
>>8809962>, but those backups also got cut offDoesn't matter. Not having a single offsite DB back up that isn't several years old is a complete amateur hour.It's literally common sense. That is like if you made a back up copy of your porn folder and then kept that backup on the same HDD as the rest of your porn. What is the point?
>iwara dies>the thread becomes aliveWere you guys gooning this whole time?

>>8809973>semen retentionenjoy your testicular cancer
>>8809970Most of it is just retarded arguing. The site going down just gave them shit to bitch about.It's only been less than a week so far, and iwara has been down in the past for longer, so I dont give a shit. And as for the db, everything I liked I had already downloaded, and for the stuff that came out right before the site went down and I couldn't grab it in time, the authors already re-released them elsewhere. They can release a new site with a blank slate and everything gone for all I care. I'll fap on fantia, X, fanbox, patreon, and niconico in the meantime, like I always have.
I regret not saving Krag's last video

>>8808565I stopped hoarding because Jdownloader stopped working with Iwara and I was just about to work on setting up alternatives to grab everything I missed fuck. I literally just built a new 12x20TB NAS too.

>>8810034Sorry I don't :(, not too interested in chunasa since it looks like he does vtubers mostly.
>>8810196they can't keep getting away with it
>>8809962If you don't have access to the files, it's NOT a backup.Cloud is not a valid backup, never has been.If you rely on someone else to keep your files secure, aswell as a copy of them, you are literally begging for trouble.So, no, there is no "misinformation".>>8809961Do they though? You really think they actually have all the videos but not a 3GB database file? Do you honestly believe that's the issue?Because if that's true, then they're even more retarded and incompetent than I thought.>>8809971What part, mr autismo?
>>8810118Why do you fucking boomers keep using BoomerDownloader2?Just use YT-DLP, stop living in the stone age
>>8810196Gacha was a mistake.
>>8810244Mainly because I was using it before yt-dlp was even a thing. I was going to swap but I also have to get it so it isn't just redownloading everything that I downloaded before which is over 10TB now. Also I found it was easier to queue up and download entire channels with it. An anon here shared how to automate recurring downloads as well and it just worked.I tried setting up yt-dlp again recently and it would miss files even with cookies.txt but maybe that was user error. You have any tips for setting up an automation for yt-dlp? I've tried several GUI frontends for it and they all sucked and don't work.
>>8810312Just ask ChatGPT to make you a simple python script that launches YT-DLP however you want every now and then or something.If you're going that route, I recommend also having it set up so that it writes a database that is just a simple textfile.Personally I had a text file consisting of video IDs that it adds to after downloading, so that it won't retry downloading those later when I update a creator from Iwara.You can also have a simple textfile of links it should try to download from where you just put in links to different creators.With ChatGPT, it's super easy to do this.But of course now you'll have to wait for Iwara to come back in order to test. But you can do this for other sites too that YT-DLP can download from, or Gallery-DL for that matter.
>>8810323I have done that but for Streamlink and livestreams but it's a vibe coded mess that just would not scale well for the hundreds of channels that I would want to. Basically a powershell script that opens other multiple powershell scripts and auto fills the channels from a txt file. Super ugly but it works fine for the handful of channels I want to record. I guess I could try again but I'm not really great at any of this since I have zero coding knowledge. I just wish there was a frontend for yt-dlp on the level of Jdownloader.
>>8810323>>8810327just use a cronjob holy shit
>>8810327>vibe codingSuch a meme.I have 0 coding knowledge and it's not difficult to have it scale to hundreds of channels.>handful of channels I want to recordDon't record, download. Recording videos that exist is extremely retarded, it inflates filesize, lowers quality or fucks up the framerate. It's already a video, no need to record.If I can make something like this with ChatGPT: https://github.com/UpscaleAnon/Chaturbate-Stream-ScraperThen you can make something that downloads from Iwara.And ChatGPT has basically skyrocketed in terms of producing useable code lately. I remember before 4o it would fail a lot, then 4o came along and it rarely failed to the same degree.And quite a lot of the fails that do happen, are something you can solve by just understanding English and a little bit of logic, something most humans should be able to.>>8810330>assuming people use shittux and not WindowsEither way it doesn't solve everything. Cronjob won't know what is downloaded or not, it only schedules tasks. You still need to set up YT-DLP correctly.Holy shit how can someone genuinely be this retarded, suggesting people to use shit without even knowing what they're suggesting.
>>8810331It is downloading, that's what Streamlink does, it's not recording via OBS or anything although I've done that through desperation since sites like RPlay would ban me instantly for trying to download directly. I'll give it another try but I've had nothing but headaches and bad luck with trying to get anything to work with ChatGPT. It would break already working code and I don't have enough knowledge to troubleshoot exactly what the issue is. It would be a constant back and forth of it telling me where the issue is, make the change, but not fix it.
>>8810312>>8810327If you're talking about using event scripter in jdownlaoder2 to read a text file every x interval that's probably me. I too migrated to yt-dlp.If you know how to use yt-dlp to get urls from a text file that's pretty much it.Use --download-archive FILEThis keeps track of all the id of downloaded videos, so if you feed yt-dlp a profile url it'll skip video ids in the file.But it's not necessary honestly, for the longest time I didn't use it. just make sure to set your -o path correctly, so every time you run a job it'll download the files into the same directory and if a file already exists it'll just auto skip.My problems were that my list was too large, like 900 urls and the scheduled job wouldn't complete especially in the months leading up to the shutdown where iwara was plagued wth network issues, download speed was utterly crap, it would like try to download a video at single digit kb speed for a couple of seconds get an error and try again at those speeds repeat. If I was lucky the video would complete but something that should have took less than a minute became something like 30 minutes or it'll just fail outright, or it would crash. I was experimenting with batching the url list so it would generate a fresh batch of urls depending on the day of the week, so splitting a 1k list into something like 200 unique urls a day that if I did it right shouldn't overlap.I only managed to run it a couple of days before the shutdown so I can't speak how effective it was. My scripts were all vibe coded as well but I used claude.
>>8810337Forgot to mention, if you don't use --download-archive flag it'll auto skip if a file already exists until the guy decides to change his name or change the title of the video, then it'll redownload them again, this also depends on how you configured yt-dlp should name your files. I occasionally run the folder through a dupe checker to get rid of these cases.
>>8810334If it gives you snippets, telling you what to fix, I often find it helps to tell it to give me the fully changed code back, often it does exactly that.It's annoying that it often wants to give a fuck ton of snippets and expect you to fix it yourself. Which is in some cases easy enough, but not when there's a lot of them, or it forgot what the code looks like.>RPlayNever heard of.>decide to check it outHoly shit I regret everything. That site is so fucking cringe and I don't know why anyone would want to download from it lmao.Anyways, if you start scraping any site, remember to make backups if you care about the data and want it to survive, and of course hash it too and verify once a year. And preferably share the data too.
>>8810337>>8810340Thanks for your previous guide. Good to know you at least got something working with yt-dlp. I guess my next step is figuring out how make sure yt-dlp knows what to skip. That was always my biggest hurdle from swapping. I remember trying to get yt-dlp to match the same formatting Jdownloader used but I couldn't get it to be exact. This was before AI though.
>>8810342I wrote this a while backhttps://rentry.co/duwt9zrnBut as you can see from the example filename I have a specific way I like to name my files, which some people might not like. It's pretty basic but should be enough to get your started. If people have more specific topics I could update it or write up a new one.
>>8810346Thanks, I can work off of that. I always liked having the upload date in the file because I found a bunch of creators improved a lot over the years.
I can't find a single nsfw mmd with V by himehina. Without iwara I'm back in the stone age banging rocks together.
Does anyone have maloxx's stuff somewhere?
>>8810241>You really think they actually have all the videos but not a 3GB database file?They confirmed themselves.
>iwara.tv down>iwara.zip still uplolwhy didn't they just keep their backups on zip wtf
>>8810488I honestly have no idea how they can not have DB backups while they have video backups.. it's... like.. what are you doing dudes?If they can't get the DB back it will very likely mean full reset, iwara will start over completely empty. All of those amazing videos from artists who dissapeared years ago? Gone.
>>8810488iwara is what you get when you tell a random anon "why don't you just do it yourself?" and they actually do it despite them having 0 expertise (literally, it started with a 4chan post)becoming this important of a site was a complete accident
>>8810522that would've been fine, if it wasn't also for a complete refusal to accept help
>>8810522can you find the post? just for history's sake.
>>8810522Is this before or after trollvids?
>>8810458And you blindly trust what Iwara says? Surely people on the internet wouldn't lie?
>>8810661Before, nta but I remember the threads in /e/ before trollvids started. That made me realize where it all started, and how I've lost my nico account. It's really been so long, shit.
>>8810568it was over 10 years ago, do any archives even stretch that far
>>8810661Iwara IS trollvids.Is this an apocalypse on par with when FC2 nuked everything from orbit?
>>8810666what reason would they have to lie?Do you think they have the DB file but are lying about it so if they decided to do a full content wipe to save on space / and enforce proper tagging on all videos, then the community wouldn't be in an uproar like if they just straight up said they will nuke old content for tagging reasons?I don't know man, sounds tin foil hatty.
>>8810690>Do you think they have the DB file but are lying about it so if they decided to do a full content wipe to save on spaceI think it is a possibility. After all, people are claiming they barely have enough money to keep things running.Having an excuse to wipe means they'll save a ton of money.It sounds way more realistic than them having backed up 80TB or whatever but not a mere 3GB file which was supposedly critical to them.So you tell me, what is more tin foil hatty? Greed, common in literally every company? Or a mistake that basically not even the most retarded person would make?
>>8810700I don't know man. I don't think iwara is a money hungry corporation. It does not really make much money. I actually do believe the owners are passionate about the community and the content and money is not the main reason they run the site.As for the DB conspiracy, hard to say, not possible to really occam's razor this as both of those possibilities are realistic.
>>8810703>It does not really make much moneyPrecisely because of how much data it's storing versus the money they're getting back.Cut down on the data, they'll get a lot more money, at least until enough people upload again, unless they decide to push even more paid shit.I think it's naive to think that a website cares about their users at all. Maybe it started out that way, but greed eventually catches up.
>>8810706storage is not the problem the whole thing is under 100TB and most of it is stored on cheap HDD servers, the main bulk of the cost is bandwidth and that won't change even if you remove 90% of all videos
>>8810700>Greed>a site you were browsing for freesmdh
it's rich to talk about greed when you guys talk about your fucking patreons like hand rubbing silhouettists
>>8810753>>8810755lmao is the situation so bad that you have to come here to do damage control?
>>8810753Free, with options to pay for premium and whatever that wura meme shit is.So yeah. It's not completely free, they were recently monetizing their site and I expect it to become worse over time.>>8810725I have no idea how many actual TB they had worth of videos, if it's 80 like that other guy said or whatever.But 80-100TB is not that cheap, even on HDDs. Especially considering when you have backups, which can double or even triple the cost, and then potentially also having set up RAID for redundancy, increasing the cost even more.>won't change even if you remove 90% of all videosPeople like seeing a lot of videos, not the same ones over and over. Even if it's old videos. So if you remove 90% of the videos, of course you'll have less bandwidth too.>>8810755Literally not a single person in this thread has talked about their own patreon. Do a Ctrl+F and find me one that did, I'll wait.All 9 mentions of the word patreon is talking about someone else's patreon.
I had downloaded every single video I like.Mental illness wins yet again.
>iwara works>1, maybe 2, posts per day>iwara goes down>50 experts come out of nowhere spouting bullshit about things they don't understand the basics about
>muh ad money
>>8810828At what point did Iwara only have 1 or 2 posts a day? Or even remotely close to that amount?If none of us are experts and you know so much better, why don't you prove it? You can't lmao.
>>8810700>Greed, common in literally every company?There is no company. iwara is basically a solo operation + a couple volunteers. That's why updates were so slow to roll out. The admin has said he's happy to keep funding this out of pocket and has even told people to not put more money in while the site is down.
>>8810861Being solo doesn't make it not be a company. Define company.>funding this out of pocket and has even told people to not put more money in while the site is downAnd you blindly believe everything people say online?Pigs can fly btw, why won't you believe me? :^)
>>8810863Telling people to not give you money is a 4D chess move to... get money from them?But sure okay, let's supposed that iwara intentionally "lost" all the data to reduce server costs.What's the end game here? Everyone fucks off and uploads somewhere else because iwara can no longer be trusted? That's one way to reduce costs further. Wow, maybe all that money would've been saved if they just didn't make the site in the first place.
>>8810863>And you blindly believe everything people say online?you mean like the bullshit you're spewing pretending it's the truth because muh "noone can prove me wrong"stfu
>>8810869I have 0 ways to make money off of you. Iwara on the other hand does lmao.>bullshitOkay then prove me wrong. I'll wait.It's funny you guys seriously believe they backed up 80TB of data, but not a 3GB file.Quite autistic of you to take everything at face value>>8810865People won't fuck off and upload elsewhere, because everyone believes the lie, so they can still take in money, but at a reduced cost due to less data being hosted.Maybe some will, but Iwara is so deeply ingrained into everyone that as long as it comes back, no matter the reason and no matter what's removed, vast majority will still use it.>if they just didn't make the site in the first placeIf they did that, they wouldn't be making money at all lmao.I guess critical thinking isn't something any of you are capable of.
>>8810871You do know that actually hosting the data costs nothing in comparison to bandwidth, right? If the same number of people come back to watch a fewer selection of videos, the cost is basically the same.
>>8810871literally what i described of you is how you're actingfuck off tinfoil hat whiny bitch
>>8810872HDDs cost maybe at best 4$ per TB, multiply that by 80, and then double or triple it depending on how many backups, then multiply even more if using RAID. And then pay that amount every month.Or are you telling me that HDDs are free?It won't be the same amount of bandwidth anyways, people are much less likely to watch videos when there's a smaller selection.>>8810876Go back to kissing the feet of Iwara
>>8810828Just let the retards argue.
>>8810877jokes on you i don't even give a fuck about iwara or its videosi hate faggot whiny bitches like you

>>8810889then call it iwara general because that's all it isfake ass bitch
>>8810568>>8810668Did some sleuthing and it seems like it starts here. https://archive.palanq.win/e/thread/1656731/#1662227>>8810661As anon mentioned, iwara is trollvids. The final straw was people getting banned by VimeoHe also had an oldschool forum for MMD (such was the times) but very little of it was preserved by the internet archivehttps://web.archive.org/web/20140409005455/http://forum.planetsita.com:80/
>>8810894It's funny you think I made the thread. I did not. Take your meds schizo retard.
>>8810896you somehow declare what it's aboutyou can post vids and pictures herebut noit's exclusively about iwara somehow because you said soeven if you didn't make the threadeven when you can make the next oneso you can bitch about the state of iwara
>>8810899I never once said it was exclusively iwara, but primarly, and not because I said so, but based on facts and what is posted in the thread.Reading comprehension is difficult for autistic retards I guess.
>>8810905and you're acting like that's the only reason to be here so yeah you're practically saying itso either accept that i can be here because of the interest in mmd without the need to be here for iwara, as if i can only be here if i'm interested in iwaraor we got a week's worth of discussion because i will bring ityou shouldn't run your fucking mouth about coming here in a thread full of iwara when it's not called iwara generalbecause i can keep going, because i'm the fucking energizer bunny, bitch

>>8810918You know for a fucking factThat you are a schizoTake your meds lmao>2022You base this all on this thread? This is the first time I've browsed these MMD threads lmao.>other websites listedThat are far less common, and not what the majority is talking about ITT.Reading comprehension, ever heard of it? It's something you don't have, at all lmao
smdh right before i even told him i wasn't about iwara it was like "uhh stop sucking iwara's dick or just go lick iwara's feet and balls while you're at it or prove me wrong" and now it's "uhh y u here if u dont care bout iwara that is autism">This is the first time I've browsed these MMD threads lmao.are you admitting something i was being generous and extending a branch for, jfc>far less commondoesn't matteryou're a retard and a flipflop
>>8810925>flipflopMade me laugh, thanks for giving me more reason to stay and call you a schizo, which you are lmaoI may be a retard, but at least I have reading comprehension :^)
>>8810926apparently not but go ahead and kid yourselfi'm gonna be here while you whine about iwara
>>8810927Iwara is gay and so are you
>>8810929apparently so since i love to lick iwara's balls supposedlywhile not caring about iwara at the same time, which somehow negates the reason for being here because i can't use this imageboard for posting images and webbums because who would do such a thing come on it's w4c
>>8810930You should lick my balls instead :)
>>8810931you'd love that, but you can always make an mmd video about itbut i guess you'd rather have someone else make that video after sending cronies to /e/ threads to beg for the motions and models for it
>No porn for a week>Autistic shouting match & MMD General #56

>>8810895>2014damn...12 years and still here I am jacking to 3d girls dancing to j/kpop...
>>8810940you mean complain about iwara general
>>8810933>you can always make an mmd video about itI'd rather not make garbage, thank you
>>8810948considering that's all you make i thought you'd be used to it
>>8810843I was talking about this thread, you buffoon.
>>8810877>And then pay that amount every month. Or are you telling me that HDDs are free?Who the fuck buys 80TB of HDDs every month, to host 80TB?You buy the HDDs once and then replace them every few multiple of years, not every month.
>>8810989Yes the hosting company buys the HDD, but you pay for access to them every month. If Iwara were their own host, there wouldn't have been any issues.Just how retarded are you? Lmao>>8810988You never specified, fix your writing
>>8810991No hosting company in existence does the kind of price calculation and offer you presented (paying tripple for backups), so one has to assume you meant selfhosting.
>>8810994Hetzner for example gives you 4$ per TB. This is not a backup. They only have redundancy, as does any other host.Which means you either have to pay double of that or triple, or buy your own HDDs.Buying your own is of course cheaper long term, but many people are also retarded, just like you and Iwara.But that assumes Iwara actually do backups which I do not believe, that they backed up 80TB of videos but not a 3GB database.Which means paying 4$ per TB for 80TB once, no backups.You are extremely retarded for assuming I mean self hosting, because that means they wouldn't have lost their files.How can you lose something you physically have in your home? Cloudflare doesn't come knocking down your door lmao.
>>8810996Hetzner mentioned!I actually have been using Hetzner for ~4 years.I think my payment plan includes backups, and checking their FAQ the prices are much lower as well:https://www.hetzner.com/cloud/#features € 0.013 / GB per Month for snapshots 20% of instance price for continuous backups20% is a far cry from 300%.
>>8810999You having used hetzner means absolutely nothing if you haven't actually used the backup options or know how to read.Either way it doesn't matter, these features are for plans that use their SSD servers, where you'll be paying 450 euro a month for 10TB lmao.And you even said it yourself 0.013 euro a month per GB for snapshots (which is actually 0.011, nice reading).Now scale that to terrabytes. That leaves 11 euro per TB, much worse than my initial findings of HDD storage at 4$ per TB. 11x80=880€ a month.What you'd actually want is something like this: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx/Maybe the SX135, if Iwara's data actually is roughly 80TB, leaving room for growing.This puts the cost at 1.15 euro per TB, which is much lower than my initial findings.But this seems like it's not with backups and I don't know if you can buy more than one of the servers and have them mirror files, but you probably could.But having all files with 1 host is not a valid backup anyways, you need to have physical HDDs you own that nobody can revoke access from.So yeah, at best it seems they'd be paying 204 euro a month, multiplied by however many backups they want, unless they backup themselves on HDDs they physically own.
you can post pngs and jpegs of h mmd content hereyou can post mp4s and webbums of such content hereyou can post clips of such while linking fuller sized versions off-site herebut everyone is apparently bottlenecked by the lack of one single website where 50 experts opine on its operation like pro handegg fans who totally would have had game winning strategies if they were the coaches themselves
>>8803128mood

>>8811147opine isn't English, but yes handegg might be something someone new to the scene wouldn't understand.But considering they write like a retard, I wouldn't be surprised if handegg is another retarded fuckup.

stop arguing like inbred autistic children and post some hot fucking mmds
>>8811156but iwara is down, so i can't! and iwara is LITERALLY the only website that kind of thing exists, sorry but we must complain about iwara instead
Okay fine, fuck it. If the thread is gonna be fags, may as well channel it into something productive.Since iwara is down anyway, why not host an MMD stream where we all jack off to MMD together. /fh/ seems to do this weekly so no reason we can't do it, even if its just once. You remember those 連れオナ会場 and セクハラ会場 videos on niconico? Well just think of it as our own version of that.>uh thats kinda gay broYeah maybe, who gives a shit faggot, just don't let the balls touch.
And speaking of that セクハラ会場 guy, I suspect he's still around and these accounts are him, but I'm not sure.https://x.com/copycat_shinshihttps://fantia.jp/fanclubs/510703/postshttps://www.nicovideo.jp/user/11737708
>>8811154>not even an uncommon wordLiterally never heard it used by anyone at all, on any platform.So yeah, it is extremely uncommon, otherwise it wouldn't have taken me several decades to hear it for the first time lmao.>casually on this websiteYou mean this specific thread? Because it's never used outside of here. Literally first time I browse these MMD threads, I hear about opine and handegg. Not used in any other thread.Just look up in the archives, and you'll see that handegg isn't something casually used on here, it's used in other boards and is a slang for some football shit, which has nothing to do with this thread.You are purposedfully being an obtuse retard>>8811161>why not host an MMD stream where we all jack off to MMD togetherBecause that is gay as fuck.Why stream? Just upload what you have, let people enjoy it long term rather than some shitty stream.

looking for a 4k version of kem kems rabbit hole, anyone happens to have it anons? thanks
makes me wonder what all the creators who posted their stuff to iwara are doing, a lot of them who promoted paid content would also use iwara to advertise
>>8811187Most are just waiting it out. Iwara has been down for much longer and people are used to that, so most creators don't care much right now.
>>8810420I have some maloxx stuffhttps://gofile.io/d/cuJPU3
>>8811187>a lot of them who promoted paid content would also use iwara to advertise>>8810831
>>8811189Thanks man
>>8803128Now imagine doing this for hours but on a dogshit site called niconico, hoping to find that one frame where the skirt jumps just high enough for the contours of a nopan to appear, only for the video to be taken down the next day because some jap reported the video in a moment of post-nut calrity..That was me over 10 years ago.
>>8811187they are all currently posting on rule34video
>>8811190retard
>>8811198sorry to hear that about (((yourself))) in a thread where (((someone))) wants to call out iwara for being greedy
>>8811200you don't use patreon to promote you retard, you promote your patreon to other sitesat least fucking try to post somewhat decent bait if you're starved for attention
>>8811203that's not even what i'm mocking, (((Anon)))-chan
>>8811194i hate the japanese
>>8811161Sounds fucking gay, I'm in.
>>8811161I'd be down, got a decent MMD archive (2k~ videos) I could help DJ with if my rotted oji-san brain can learn how.>>8811165It's not gay it's just a DJ show but instead of music its porn and instead of dancing we're jacking off and also we're all guys. Ok maybe kinda gay but at least we're not in the same room.
>>8811221I'm always in your room...
BB is done frens
>iwara goes down>rule34 quality goes to shit
>>8811214>>8811221To be clear, the セクハラ会場 videos were actually my inspiration for this, especially since niconico has been banning them. It'd be cool if we could have our own equivalent of those, and I know that'd interest at least a few people here.Only question is how. Would be nice to use something where everyone can contribute in some way. /fh/ uses cytube but I'm unsure whether that's the best way to go for us.
>>8811394>Sexual harassment venueWhat were those like?
>>8811126based as fuck love me areola and nip slips
>>8811432This guy seemed to make them specifically for a group of vtubers, and the video content was typically them being corrupted and made into whores. But the point of these videos wasn't just the video content, it was the comments. The author would instruct people to leave the most degrading and lewd comments towards the girls in the video, thus the name of the tag. 連れオナ会場 is already a commonly used tag on niconico, so when you combine these two you get videos where everyone is collectively jerking off to and degrading the girls in the video at the same time.For this specific author, his fetish was probably related to them being vtubers and him wanting to see them degraded, but this isn't limited to just that. Another much more famous animator who also did these sorts of videos with fictional characters and not vtubers was himmelsky/sierusky, though unfortunately like this first guy most of these were also removed from niconico. Its a shame because I really liked his. It was stuff like erotic dances like shaking dance and whatnot, but he'd add special comments in the comments that are meant to be the girl in the video encouraging you to fap to her, while everyone else in the comments did their thing. I still have the videos that were taken down but without the comments it's just not the same.This is what I'm hoping to recreate here, in some form.
>>8811221>but at least we're not in the same roomYou would be in the same room, virtually. Which is gay. You are a faggot, just admit it.
>>8811439It started as that and then slowly grew to include stuff like "oh, the camera angle changed for half a second while the character got completely naked", or "this character suddenly does a fellatio gesture", or "that's a floating eyeball with a massive cock just hanging around", or "yup, that's a fully visible asshole on the lower part of the screen", but it's mostly the former.>>8811442That slaps, but I assume it required some understanding of nihongo.
>>8811481I like the naked reflection or silhouette having sex in the background ones.
But I just want to tell other anons the exact moment I'm going to cum...
>>8811481For niconico yeah, you had to know japanese. If we do it it's a different story.
>>8811161I support this notion, I've always wanted to watch mmd with others live nico-nico style
>>8811581I've done MMD streams for /trash/ before, I can do a stream Friday night EST if people want
>friday night faggots
>>8811494>silhouette having sex in the backgroundI know ShamuSEXY uploaded something like that a couple of weeks ago, any other examples?
>>8811587What platform would we use for this? It'd be nice if everyone in thread had some way to contribute, like choosing videos.
>>8811665I streamed here beforehttps://pomf.tv/stream/DurianStreamingPeople can suggest videos I suppose, but I would need to have them saved on my PC
>>8811681Maybe set up one of those mega folders people can send stuff to?
>>8811693If someone wants to send stuff through Mega I'll look at it, probably won't have time to set that up myself. But I'll try to stream for a couple hours this Friday at 21:00 EST / 02:00 UTC / 11:00 JST
>>8811710>3:00 CEToof
>>8811779feel free to make an earlier stream
Did youtube just kill the "sort by most recent" option of their search function.
>>8811940looks like itamerica is always concerned about forcing popularity down your face, just look at the default search order on all american websites like deviantart
>>8811940>YouTube devs are lurking this very thread >all in order to deprive us of quality risqué MMD
This is why you gatekeep
>>8811710Okay but then what will you stream? Just whatever you want in your personal collection? I'd personally request a mix of classics as well as recent favorites. Also, I'm a little concerned if you've previously streamed for /trash/, going to kill the mood if a bunch of fags who don't even care about mmd come in just to erp.Im any case thanks for doing this and I hope it goes well. I'd like to join but that time won't work for me. Any chance you can archive it?
>>8811940look on the bright side, at least you can filter out shorts now
If they lost the DB but still have the videos, they won't know which ones were private
>>8811940Congrats, they opted you into a shitty A/B test like me. It's still there when I'm logged out. Set sp=CAI in the URL to get the old recent sorting. No idea how long that will work.
>>8812090Oh, and for reference, since it was also removed for some fucking reason (probably because they hide dislikes), rating is sp=CAE
>>8812041Trash usually just posts in their own threadNot sure pomf has archiving options
>>8812088bro they won't even know what the titles of the videos are or who uploaded them when
>>8811940i can still hit filters and sort by upload date
>>8812109It works when you're logged out for some godforsaken reason, but not when logged in.
>>8812104If you save videos without the titles, you are just a retard.You don't need a database to know title, uploader or timestamp, you could have it all in the filename.Which honestly websites should do.You could have private status in filename too if you really wanted.
>>8812090Thanks, this helps for the moment and I sent them some feedback, hope it does something...>>8811710I mean, if you are going to host the stream, you need to be the one who sets it up. It's not a shared folder, more like a mailbox. You need to have a mega account and then go to shared items>file requests.>>8812102I just checked and plenty of users have a "saved streams" section on their profile.
>>8812134I'll see if I can save it. I have about 2 hours of videos ready to go
I havent been jacking off regularly because of this and I feel like shit
>>8812136Okay I checked and I would have to pay pomf to host VODs so fuck that. I'll try to record it on OBS and dump it to gofile or something
>>8812139I appreciate it, though its the comments I really want to see.If you do set up a shared folder be sure to post it, I'll throw some stuff in.
>>8811260Supah cute work anon
>>8812137I think i gained 40IQ from not jerking off
>>8812136Have you thought of an order to play them in? I think it would be nice to start with the kinda vids you can find on yt like >>8803128 and then progressively get to the iwara stuff.
WHEN THE FUCK IS IWARA COMING BAAAAACK
>>8812215never
>>8812215hopefully never
>>8812231oh no no no no no iwarabros......some guy hates what this thread is clearly SPECIFICALLY and EXCLUSIVELY about.....iwarabros......we must do something....
>>8812217>>8812231if it's not back by sunday i'm killing myself because i have nothing left to live for
>>8812264I'll miss you anon...
>>8812264don't do it, think of all the videos you'll miss when it comes back the day after
so from what i have gathered so far, it looks there is a good chance iwara won't get their database back, which means they will be using their 2023 backup to restore the site, which means last 2 years of content will be gone forever
I hope iwara dies.
>>8812278>gone foreverWhatever was posted within the last 2 years will be reposted, I highly doubt anything of worth that was uploaded to Iwara has been erased from the creators hard drives by now
I don't want to lose my 10 year old account bros...
>>8812306all the sloppers will not have saved anything I hope
Didn't save any of the Tar_tar_tan videos... fuck.
>>8811260Looking good, anon. Love me some BB-chan.
>>8812278>2023 backup to restore the sitewait so all the large old artists get all their shit back, and lose at most 10% of their followers, while smaller artists like jellybean, who has around 22k followers but gained 90% of them in the last 2 years will get everything wiped?Shit man, that is brutal. as if it wasn't hard enough to build a following already for newbies in the mmd space
>>8812335I'm sure the real fans will come back when they repost their videos.
>>8812336do you really remember all the 500 people you were following so you can refollow them?
>>8812338I'm sure I remember the videos, when they get reuploaded I'll follow again
I have a few Iwara videos downloaded that I was slowly re-encoding to HEVC+OPUS mkv files to save on space. If I was going to share these files via torrent, which site would be preferable to upload such a torrent? I was thinking about Nyaa, but they have some "no bestiality" rules and what not, while other sites have the "no loli" rules. I'm far too lazy to search my files just to filter out loli/bestiality/HMV/"koikatsu slop".
>>8812384You should be sharing the original files, not your shitty re-encodes.
>>8812384It's not "no bestiality", it's "no real-life bestiality"3D animated shit is fine
>>8812264>killing yourself over Koikatsu QoS slop #420ngmi
>>8812386No.>>8812388Right, completely flew over my head. Well, I'll see if I can even upload the torrent. As of right now, I'm getting some warnings about "non-portable filenames" which I'm guessing is due to having semi-colons and other symbols in the filenames. Welp. There's ~26K files in ~3.75TB. Calculated ETA for torrent to finish being created is ~10-12 hours. See you guys tomorrow if it doesn't error out midway, lol.
>>8812214First half is more just stripteases, second half has actual sex too
>>8812442neat
>>8812421Yes, actually. If you re-encoded, classifying your video files as a remake, it can't be any higher than 1080p because rule autismSo I hope you don't have any 1440p or 4K re-encodes
>>8812445It's a mixed bag of videos. Like I said, I was slowly re-encoding videos when I wasn't doing anything else with my PC. Some videos date back to 2018 at like 480p or 360p @15-25 FPS, and those are source files. Others are 4K60 which are also source files. Quickly doing a search for mkv files compared to total files, I've re-encoded less than 20% of my files. I would usually re-encode folders at a time that would exceed a certain amount of filesize. There are folders with hundreds of files that are not re-encoded while there are folders with less than 50 files that are. Some folders have mixed files that are re-encoded and some that aren't because I would periodically download newer releases. It might sound crass when I reply with a simple "No.", but there's no getting around the fact that since a file was re-encoded, I no longer needed the source file, rendering it useless and getting deleted from my storage. I still have a sizeable amount of files in my Hydrus installation, but those files are harder to share because I would simply put them in intending to tag them later. As such, I don't even have video IDs for them, where as the current folder I'm making a torrent of has some structure to it: Iwara/CREATOR/[UPLOAD_DATE] FILENAME [VIDEO_ID].EXTIf anyone doesn't want a re-encode, the video ID is in the filename of said file and they can download the source from Iwara... but it's down. So, once again, the answer is "No.", not because I don't want to share the source files, but because I simply can't. I don't have them.
>>8811710Stream starting in 5 minuteshttps://pomf.tv/stream/DurianStreaming
>>8812466Damn this site is slow af
I'd actually pay money for a vtuber concert if they started stripping in them
I wanna sexdance with Reimu
Pecorine has god-tier tits
>>8812466sorry anons this stream pauses way too often for me no matter what server i select, i can't watch with you guys
>>8812486It was fucked for me too even though there's two options for my region (japan), but after setting it to medium quality it seems mostly stable. High pauses constantly though.
There are a lot more people than I expected watching this stream, especially since pomf is usually pretty dead.
>>8812486If you have the 1.1.1.1 Cloudflare warp app it helps a bit, although yeah sometimes there are pomf streams that buffer a lot no matter what
Could you turn the volume up? It's pretty quiet.

>>8812515Nice
>>8812515Forgot to mention, if this guy has any accounts outside of niconico, I don't know what they are. I'd appreciate a heads up.
its fineeverythings fine
>>8812530At some point like an hour ago I refreshed and suddenly the stream was just perfectly fine at the highest quality setting.
>>8812306>I highly doubt anything of worth that was uploaded to Iwara has been erased from the creators hard drives by nowA ton of good creators quit all the time, 2 years is a very long time for people to have quit.Heck potentially it's even almost 3 years depending on when this "2023 backup" was made. If it was in january, it's basically 3 years of data lost, not 2.>>8812384Like >>8812386 said, nobody wants your dogshit encoded files.Storage is dirt fucking cheap and IWara videos are already hyper compressed. And you only have "a few" videos anyways? Why would you waste time compressing a few videos?Re-encoding audio is even more retarded because you save basically nothing on it going from a few hundred kbps down to 96 or whatever as opposed to video where you throw away thousands of kbps bitrate.Compression fags are the absolute fucking worst and I hope you kill yourself.OPTIONAL compression is fine, but here you are forcing the compression on people.Also if you're going to hyper compress shit, you might aswell use AV1, it's literally designed for low bitrate shit and excells at preserving details at lot bitrate unlike H265.But seriously, just kill yourself, poorfag who can't afford storing a few terrabytes.>>8812455IF you do make a torrent, it better have labeled what is re-encoded and what isn't, otherwise it's an absolute dogshit torrent. Or even better, make 2 torrents.Or even better than that, kill yourself for being a poorfag who feels the need to compress what is already small.
>>8812466Here is the VOD of the streamhttps://gofile.io/d/8xYUEJ
>>8812552>uploading a file of a stream rather than just uploading the videos>wasting time with streams at allYou are a waste of sperm
>>8812547No. Lol
>>8812552Thanks for streaming
>>8812555It wasn't a question, go kill yourself, poorfag
>>8812561Lol. No.
>>8812552Thank you it was an interesting attempt at doing something although I think it is unhealthySource at 1:28 please?

>>8812563Screenshot?
>>8812571>he doesn't know how to go to a timestamp in a videoLMAO, how can you be this useless?
Wow everyone is all cranky with no new wanky material
>>8812610fuck you
>>8812610kek it really do be like thatai CHADS leadin the charge in actually producing content while these ayy luhmeow mmd virgin walkers just sit there and demand to be spoonfed shitty videos
When the fuck it'll be back...
>>8812578good luck getting help if you're gonna be like that
>>8812623latest post on the site confirmed their host kicked them out, this means they now have to move so assume at minimum several week of downtime
>>8812640I'm not the one who asked for help, and I wouldn't want help from someone who is so useless he can't even go to the timestamp of a video lmao
>>8812563>unhealthyHow so?
>>8812663What about the DB? Will they have to use the backup from 2023?
>>8812710Host kicking them out and you think they'll give them the files?
>>8812710no ideabasically as it stands there are 3 options they have- fully restore the site on a new hosting if their old host gives them their database back (very unlikely)- restore the site using the 2023 backup copy of the db (why not a single person has bothered to make a single offsite backup of their db in almost 3 years is absolutely baffling) in which case all content from the last almost 3 years is gone forever- start back up with a completely empty site and all the old content will be placed in read only state on a submdomain as an archiveit seems they haven't decided yet which path they will go down
>>8812715ironically they have all the 100TB of video files backed up but not the 10GB database which makes all the video files useless
>>8812716>why not a single person has bothered to make a single offsite backup of their db in almost 3 yearsIt's worse than that. They have never made a backup for its own sake. The existence of the 2023 DB is completely incidental because that was when they revamped the site.
>>8812719I was talking about the database files, which is what the guy was asking about.But honestly I'm not sure they even have the videos either. Because they claimed their "backup" was literally on the same host, which was taken down lmao.Imagine being so retarded, that you back up your files to the same host your main data is on, thinking they won't take it down even if they take down mian data.>100TB>10GBWhat are you basing this on? I previously heard 80TB of videos and 3GB database, but no source on that either.Either way, database file is significantly smaller that the videos, and having everything rely on one file like that, is begging for disaster and is completely retarded.The sheer amount of incompetence is unbelievable, literally a site run by a toddler who has never touched anything technological in their life.
>>8812722>Imagine being so retarded, that you back up your files to the same host your main data is on,I am honestly having trouble wrapping my head around that. That is such a massive fuck up... I have no idea how that is even possible.
>>8812723>I have no idea how that is even possibleIncompetence like I said.If you ever fuck up that big, you should just toss in the towel and let someone else run the site.But of course Iwara won't do this, attention is a dangerous and addictive drug.
>>8812721Yeah, it's crazy. If it wasn't for the server migration they wouldn't have even a single offsite backup of the database file. In fact, i bet that if this situation happened 5 years from now, they still wouldn't have made a offsite single backup in all that time.
I hope you haven't too much premium time or wuracoin anons, because that is now all gone because>backups? LOL no thanks
>>8812676it's not about being able to do it, it's about making the person he asked for help needing to do unnecessary extra steps instead of just posting an image on this image deficient thread on an image board and make it trivial to answer
>>8812731>just posting an imageThe person trying to help could "just open the timestamp", it's not hard lmao.Would take about the same time and effort as him asking for a screenshot.
>>8812663I want to know which host that was, who didn't give them a chance to recover their data, and didn't give enough notice beforehand.They need to be exposed and avoided.
>>8812736>chance to recover their data, aDoesn't matter which host it was. If you are ever in a situation where you are reliant on a good will of some server host to get your critical data back, instead of having actual frequent backups, then you fucked up big.
>>8812736Yes let's bully a host that probably had their ToS broken, rather than the incompetent child using their service who thought they were invincible along with all their data.If anything, we need to raise our pitchforks against Iwara.
>>8811940They did in fact remove sorting by upload date for no apparent reason.https://x.com/TeamYouTube/status/2009744367834022320I can still do it, but I assume the update is rolling out across accounts.
10 year old account from trollvids era gone just like tears in rain...
>>8811161Do it!
>>8812755Same bro, it's a decade worth of memories, thousands of friend requests that I had to manually accept, hundreds of comments that I liked to read through when I was bored, of PM from people asking this and that or sending videos to add to a playlist, it's basically all gone.The videos can be reuploaded, but this might not be coming back despite being what pushed some creators to make videos in the first place.
>>8812764To add insult to injury, it happened right after some anon here made a cool iwara usercript to check your account stats, followers and comments, and I was having a lot of fun with this.
>>8812756You missed it last night, buddy. But we can always do another one.
>>8812784How gay was it?
>>8812809Not at all. We were even sharing the stream with a /trash/ general and they were also well behaved.
>>8812815Still gay to have several men jerk to the same video at the same time in the same room, faggot
>>8812740>Yes let's bully a host that probably had their ToS brokenI've yet to see evidence of that, since Iwara hosted no actual CP or anything illegal.>>8812738Nobody's arguing that it wasn't an epic fuckup by Iwara to not have backups, but it's the actions of the hosting service which turned a fuckup into catastrophe. If they shut down the servers on a mere allegation without notice or chance to rectify the situation, then everyone using that service needs to know how much their sites are at risk of being shut down by someone just lying to cloudflare.I've had my own servers suspended for alleged CP, which turned out to be a bot uploading pics and then flagging them. But I had a week to convince the host that it was fraudulent reports and got the servers back online after a while. And that's one of the cheapest services out there (and yes I did have weekly backups...)Just turning shit off immediately is not acceptable behavior.
>>8812827>immediately*permanently
I blame Cuckdev. He made Iwara usable and they had to shut it down.
>>8812855He should have a DB with most of the important stuff in it, can't they use that to rebuild??
cuckdev...you're our only hope...
>>8812685dedicated multi hour gooning blocks are bad for your health and time
>>8812827Has it been officially confirmed that the host just deleted everything with no chance to get anything back that hasn't been backed up? Last I heard it was still up in the air whether they "just" cut off access or actually nuked the entire thing.If it has been confirmed, then holy shit that host is garbage, for the reasons you pointed out. But the decision to use that shitty host to begin with (probably for cost reasons) is yet another bad call on the admin's part on top of the lazy backup policy.
>>8812904better than multi hour couch potato blocks though
>>8812968not completely confirmed but not leaving much hope>We finally got a reply from our hosting services regarding our current situation, but it was nothing more than a confirmation of services termination. This decision being reversed is highly unlikely. They did not answer any questions about data recovery and then left for the weekend. https://iwara.tv/the-current-situation/
>>8812968The host has terminated the contract and handed the case over to their abuse department, they will be the ones who decide if iwara gets its data back.It might take weeks for them to reply though.
Iwara has proven time and time again to be utterly incompetent and they never seem to learn from their mistakes. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened.
>>8812968>>8812978>>8812982Remember to bully every blue archive faggot for the rest of time. They caused this.
>>8812986Oh they learn, they never make the same mistake twice. But they do make every possible mistake once.
>>8812988I'd rather bully the "people" that came to the conclusion fictional minors are legally and functionally equivalent to flesh-and-blood minors, because that's ultimately what it comes down to: the service provider doesn't give a fuck if your Blue Archive content is tagged correctly as long as law enforcement or interest groups aren't breathing down their neck with complaints of "CSAM".It's retards being retarded all the way down: retards that refuse to distinguish between fiction and reality because they personally don't like the content and therefor have to make it illegal; retards refusing to properly tag content; retards that can't/won't properly implement a convenient/thorough tagging system and retards that didn't maintain backups for several years' worth of content.
>>8812982I wonder if any iwara fans are lawyers... (though they probably wouldn't want to dox themselves eh)
>>8812988I will never stop bullying iwara's staff.
>>8812827Things don't have to be illegal to break ToS lmao.A fuck ton of hosts straight up disallow loli content, especially in america, which Iwara is in.And plenty of hosts are fine with it, as long as it's properly tagged/require log in to view.But of course Iwara being the incompetent retards (in many ways) they are, failed to do this on many occasions.So while there is no evidence, it is the most likely scenario.>>8813014Hosting companies do infact care, even if it's legal. Some have ToS against it and since we don't know what hosting company Iwara picked, it's unsure if they broke it or not.Some companies care about how they appear, and you gotta agree that while loli =/= cp, it puts some shade on you if you allow that content on your servers.And I'm saying that as someone who likes loli and think all of this is retarded and wish people stopped caring about "muh ethics".At the end of the day, Iwara picked the host, the host didn't pick Iwara.
>iwara revives>guys we've fixed the tagging issue>it's ai generated tags
>>8813102Unironically it would be better than their current system. AI is surprisingly good at tagging stuff.Even if it has a few false positives, it's better than having a fuck ton of videos not tagged at all.
If they let fuckers private their videos, I'm going to report them again on their new host. It's already bad enough that I'm forced to lose my trollvids account, having to go jumping through hoops and begging for friend requests again...I'm not doing it.
>>8812988I thank them cause they exposed how shit iwara's team are at running things.
>>8813094did the host not notice immediately what they were hosting? So strange for it progress to this point. I think a decent amount of blame goes to everyone, but the hosts way to handle this seems profoundly unprofessional if they are a serious company
>>8813153Host probably don't gave a shit until cuckflare decided to shake things.But like I said, improperly tagged videos could have been the cause, something you don't necessarily notice right away.I find it unlikely that the host is to blame. I bet the ToS were very clear, but Iwara is just incompetent, as they have shown in several ways already.
>>8813154of course, if iwara was getting letters prior then its their fuckup. But for an immediate termination of a customer while burning the evidence, the whole situation seems ridiculous and I agree it had to have been another vendor such as cloudflare/visa/mastercard giving the ultimatum
>decide I'll just jerk it to HMVs while I wait>almost all the HMVs were posted on iwara
>>8813197NO HMVS ALLOWED!
>hoarderGODS won againSome people just don't learn. Learned nothing from nyaa, from sadpanda, from iwara, from iwara, or from iwara. Hopefully, you'll learn your lesson this time.
>>8813197actually it looks like they are going to ban all HMVs and AI content from now onIt's a dark day for HMV enjoyers
>>8813228now if they also ban KK it may actually become fun again
>>8813234at that point might as well ban mmd too then, because it's in the same boat, vast majority of it are low effort using recycled dances motions with no effort put in
>>8812738Honestly this is such high level of incompetence it actually made ma angry.I could understand say >whoops our last backup is a month old so we are gonna lose a month of contentbut 2 FUCKING YEARS without a single off-server backup? And as the other anon said, the only reason they even have the 2023 one is because of the server migration, otherwise they would have literally nothing.Insane.
>>8813217They didn't win though, nobody hoarded enough to resurrect Iwara, whether that be the site or a torrent.Not a single person has made a torrent and the only one who claimed to have plans in doing so, is going to share dogshit compressed videos rather than sharing a proper archive.Maybe there are some who hoarded a fuck ton, but unless you share or have plans to share, you don't really matter.>>8813197There's a fuck ton of HMVs posted elsewhere. Iwara is a small drop in the ocean for the HMV community.>>8813228You're basing this off of what? A single moderator who expressed joy in having HMV stuff after 2023 removed? That's no indication at all, that's grasping at straws.
>>8813271>They didn't win though, nobody hoarded enough to resurrect Iwaraand with all the private videos, nobody could either
>>8813271>nobody hoarded enough to resurrect Iwara>unless you share or have plans to share, you don't really matter.Sounds like a problem for the hoardlets.
>>8813281what is the point of that? you aren't going to watch or even like 99% of that content.My collection is small on purpose because i don't bloat my storage with videos i don't even like for no reason, but only store things i actually want to watch multiple times.Data hoarding only for hoarding's sake is pointless.
>>8813271I accidentally found a dump online that has all non-private videos posted to Iwara through mid-June 2025; videos are all there but the metadata and association is in some weird format. Sent it to the Iwara admins but no idea if it'll be useful to them. Getting mixed messages both here and there on whether they still have the videos themselves and are just missing all the data to know what's what, or whether the videos themselves are gone.Regardless, if worst comes to worst maybe some grassroots effort could be made to salvage content from after the DB backup. It's like 13 TB just for that timeframe though (36+ TB for the entire thing.
>>8813273Private videos make up for a small portion really.>>8813281If you're not going to share, you're just a useless faggot and for all we know, that could be irellevant files.Either way, with 20TB, you're supposedly missing 80% of the site.>>8813284Is it a good dump though? Like does it have proper titles, creator names, upload dates and IDs?And do you have any guarantee that they're intact and not re-encoded garbage?And if you don't even share the dump, it might aswell just not exist.
Kanaebros...I'm....I don't know if I have any hope left....
how long until we got iwara back?
>>8813287All that info is there, in separate .json metadata files. The videos themselves have their titles, and don't seem to be re-encoded (everything's in .tar files, downloaded a random piece to check). I'd download it all and go through it myself if I had the space and bandwidth.Was hesitant to share the link cause I didn't wanna risk a bunch of people flooding it and bringing unwanted attention that could lose it, but buried at the end of an autosaging thread on /h/ probably isn't the biggest risk.https://huggingface.co/datasets/ACCA225/iwara_metadata/tree/main
>>8813307Ah whoops, that was the metadata link, here's the actual videos dumphttps://huggingface.co/datasets/AnimeFans/Iwara_MMD_all/tree/main
>>8813287>>8813307>>8813308Downloaded a piece and already saw files from 720p all the way to 2K60 in landscape and portrait mode. They seem to be source files.
>>8813308Time order more drives.
>>8813307Wonder what makes a retard choose huggingface that can be taken down at any time over a torrent. It's better than nothing I guess, it's just that if it goes down, he'll probably just leave it at that.But also quite a shitty archive, having everything in tar files merged together, rather than having something that's seperated by creators, because here you gotta download 36 TB and then hope it has a creator you want, which is just shitty design.Unless I guess you make a script or something to search through all those metadata files, which is still retarded, and still requires you to download a bunch of archive files with data you don't want.Why can nobody data hoard properly lmao. It's not even that hard to do it right.
Death to iwara bros, we wonned.
>>8813307>>8813308so this has all the actual videos and shit?
>>8813331>allNot if what people said earlier is true, that there's either 80 or 100TB of videos. Then it's either half or 1/3rd of the total videos.
>>8813329It looks like this isn't supposed to be an actual data archive, it's supposed to be a dataset for AI training or something. Just so happens it might be able to serve as a backup archive in this emergency.Like I said, I'd download it all myself and stick it in a torrent or something if I had the space, bandwidth, and know-how to automate sorting through it all. Hopefully some autist has all three of those to spare.>>8813333You sure about that? Thought I saw elsewhere claims it was significantly less than that. But who knows. The full DB would also have all the pictures and comments and other stuff, as well as the last 6 months of videos, though that wouldn't eat nearly the difference.
>>8813329That link to huggingface isn't a "data hoard", it's basically a site scrape with the data intended to be used for AI training. Making scripts to sift through all the json files and link them to the actual media files is pretty much it's intended use. It is by no means a "backup" or "data hoarding", it's a data set with a specific purpose. It just so happens that due to Iwara's current circumstances of not having a database backup, it can double as the "most complete backup" publicly available.>>8813331It's missing private videos. Don't even remember if unlisted videos were still a thing or not.>>8813333It's a full site scrape without private videos until about 6 months ago.
>>8813217Unlike the other platforms you listed, iwara isn't a place for users to reupload things from other placesIt's where creators themselves share their own worksI have all the videos from the past that I care about, but who cares about that. The problem is that now the people who are making new videos I want to watch are scattered to the four winds.
>>8813342>Hopefully some autist has all three of those to spareI have 2, but already archiving so many other things so I don't have the space :(>>8813345You can do both, it doesn't have to be data for AI training but not have it be useable for "normal" people. AI doesn't care either way.
If a fucking AI data scraper ends up (accidentally) saving Iwara it will ironically be the first real good deed AI slopfags have ever done
>>8813347>You can do bothSure, but clearly the uploader didn't care to make a backup of the site for "normal people." It's just a site scape. All files are in a simple enough structure to script. All metadata files for any given YYYY-MM are named exactly the same as the video files, just with a json extension. If you were to download both the video files and metadata files, you would end up with something like picrel.
>>8813345>Don't even remember if unlisted videos were still a thing or not.They are (were), and while it affects the front page listings and the videos are fully visible to anyone on the artist pages or playlists, it seems this dump didn't go that deep. The one video that I unlisted isn't in the dump (while all others are).
>>8813360Lol, now I'm curious on how exactly they scraped the site as well as how Iwara was handling unlisted/private videos. Btw, how did you verify that your unlisted video wasn't in the dump? Did you just download all the metadata files and search for it there, or did you download only the month that you uploaded the video?>No private videos>No unlisted videosAs it stands, this is now the "most complete (incomplete) backup" of Iwara publicly available, lol.
>>8813367Yeah, I downloaded all the metadata files since the month that I posted my first video.So far all evidence points to them just going through the front page video listing and nothing else.
>>8813367NTA, but I think the scrape might have just happened roughly all at once around the last dates for the files towards the end of June 2025, through the generic video page that I think listed every public video newest to oldest.I went through the metadata using oreno to find the right years and months to match with videos I know were deleted before then, and all of them were completely missing from the metadata I checked. For reference one of the ones I checked was this: https://oreno3d.com/authors/6104?sort=latestThere were a couple of creators I was following all claiming that Iwara moderation forced them to delete all their videos roughly some time after May 2023 for some nondescript reason, with videos they attempted to upload later just getting instantly deleted.I remember that 2024 video there not even lasting 24 hour, over a year after the first deletion.Really obnoxiously I remember that guy in particular because he had everything only on Iwara as far as I could tell, and just gave up entirely after that rather than moving platforms.
>>8813371Damn. This just highlights that this was a data scrape and nothing else. To my understanding, unlisted videos are still publicly available but don't show up on the recent/frontpage, right? Making a backup or archive of the site would entail going through every creators page and downloading their videos. This would ensure you had all public/unlisted videos (not mentioning private since you needed to be "whitelisted" by the creator themselves). Not to mention the fact that some creators would delete/private thier uploads after some time. This scrape basically just took a snapshot of what was available when they started downloading, and nothing else.>>8813379Yeah, just finished doing a quick download of the metadata files myself. The newest videos were downloaded first around mid June and the oldest videos finished downloading around July, so it checks out.
>>8813382Also, I found not a single instance of the loli tag, so either the scraper was not logged in or didn't clear their blacklist.So probably* no unlisted videos* no private videos* no sensitive tags
>>8813388>* no sensitive tagswhat were those again?
>>8813354is this yazi
>>8813391includes but not limited to: bestiality, loli, shota, rape, pee
>>8813396No idea. Was a quick download to check the files in the previous post's link. Already deleted the files so I can't go back and check the metadata file for the creators info.
>>8813407no i mean the file manager
>>8813388>clear their blacklistBy default there is no blacklist? I don't remember ever having to clear it in order to see stuff, only required having an account.But then again it's been quite a while since I registered.
>>8813410when I joined last year there were five or six tags in the blacklist and I had to wait a month before being allowed to remove them

anyone got the latest o-dio?
This has been such a travesty I just want to watch r18 mmd
>>8813409Oh, lol. It's ranger.
I miss coming to PanzerMMD's videos
I'm not fapping until iwara comes back and if it never does then maybe I will find out no fap enlightenment is horseshit myself
I see a lot of retardation and confusion here, so let me explain the current situation properly for Y'all.>When will iwara come back?It is now confirmed they will have to move to a new hosting, this means at least another week of downtime MINIMUM, very likely longer.>What can be recovered?Iwara has a backup of ALL videos, but not a single backup of the database file, except one copy of the 2023 DB that was used for server migration. If they use it, all video files, user accounts, followers, upvotes etc in the last two years are GONE.>Any hope of getting the current DB back?Maybe. The server host has not yet stated if they will give the DB back or not. It's possible. Don't get your hopes up.>Can the AI slop metadata scrape be used to restore the contentNo. it's missing 6 months of latest content as well (from a quick look) as all of the videos tagged with sensitive tags, making it useless. No point in using a data set so incomplete.>Can the SemenD database be used to restore the content?Yes. It contains all videos on iwara, including sensitive tag videos, except for private and unlisted videos. It is also completely up to date, missing only data for the last two days before the take down.>Oh wow, that easy eh? Why don't they just do that then.No, it's not that easy, and stop fucking interrupting me. The SD database contains video titles, tags, creation dates, user account names, but not the video descriptions, likes, comments etc.. so all of those would be lost. Additionally, if they want to use it to supplement the 2023 DB backup, they have to deal with the fact that many of the videos uploaded in the last two years are from users who don't exist in the 2023 DB. So it's not as easy as just importing the data, there are decisions that need to be made. So can they do it? Yes. Will they? No idea.1/2
>>88138392/2>Okay, fuck the videos from the last two years, can they just restart the site right away with the 2023 DB?Shut the fuck up, I am getting to it! No, it's not that easy. They can restore the user accounts from the 2023 DB, but even though they have the videos too, they can't simply add them back due to legal reasons, most of the old videos are untagged, or missing important tags, if they bring them back as is the site will quickly get reported and taken down again.>Oh man, shit fucking sucks! Yes it does Anon, yes it does... >So what now? Is all that old content just gone?No. There are two options being considered, you can either find a hosting who doesn't care about loli content (which is why the site was nuked by the current host) and then you can bring the old videos back online right away, but that is not easy, or you can place all the old videos into a separate archive invisible to the public and have volunteers slowly go through all the videos and tag problematic content with sensitive tags. Which means old videos will eventually come back as a trickle but it will take months, if not longer.>How about rule changes once the site comes back online?The main changes will be tighter moderation, proper tagging will strictly be enforced. Complete ban on all HMV and AI content is also being strongly considered, but not confirmed yet, it's 50/50 of it happening right now.>So where will the site be hosted now? Iwara is currently in talks with several different hosts to find the best option for them, one of the prominent candidates is a massive global Chinese hosting who offers iwara good pricing options and also would allow them to use servers geolocated in a country that doesn't care too strongly about anime loli content.And now shut the fuck about this and go make some more dancing naked anime girl content.
>>8813839>not a single backup of the database filelol, lmao even
>>8813840Forgot to mention>I bought premium/wura how fucked am I?While any wura transaction records are gone unless the DB is recovered, iwara (very likely) has the transaction records relating to premium and coupon purchases, since the store front is separate from the main site, so they could reactivate those, however any sort of wura transactions you received or made on the site in the last 2 years (aka that is ALL of them) are gone without the DB.
>>8813845This is such a massive fuck up on Iwara's side it's hard to believe.When the admin was asked about it:>Well we have DB backups but they are all on host's server, we never assumed they would just cut us off like this.
>>8813839>No. it's missing 6 months of latest content as well (from a quick look) as all of the videos tagged with sensitive tags, making it useless. No point in using a data set so incomplete.This is such a retarded take and you call others for a retard lmao.Being able to restore vast majority of the site is better than nothing.Just because you don't like videos without sensitive tags doesn't make it useless.Missing 6 months of content is infinitely better than missing 10 years, no matter how you put it.>>8813840>Complete ban on all HMV and AI content is also being strongly considered, but not confirmed yet, it's 50/50 of it happening right now.As I asked another anon, what is this based on? A single moderator expressing joy at the possibility of having less HMVs and no AI if they restore from the 2023 backup?Because that is a dogshit source to base things on and the other guy never responded to this.
why is iwara kill
>>8813867I went a little overboard with Hime and Mikoto, sorry.
>>8813867It is truly the worst timeline. Where am I going to find an endless stream of retarded qos tattooed anime sluts.
So has there been any new site the known MMD artists have flocked to? Or is still just pockets of shit from fantia, twitter, niconico, etc.
>>8813889Nobody is moving anywhere anytime soon, its way too early. Everyone is already very used to iwara going down for long periods of time and they have their paysites and X in the meantime.
>>8813889Some have started posting on Rule34video, the problem with that is so many people upload random garbage that their videos get swamped. The rest are holding out for something better or Iwara to return
>>8813839so my account is gone...
>>8813892if they can't recover the latest database and you made your account after 2023 then it will be as if you never even existed
>>8813463>pikpaklove yourself
HOLY FUCK we'll never be able to jerk off again it's so over just delete the thread
>>8813847How can I profit off this.
>>8813867I'm sorry but I had to do it to expose their incompetence...hopefully someone more qualified will create a better site for everyone. Such is the price of progress...
>>8813892>couldn't get a 11 year screenshot before it went downitai...
>>8813903It will take few weeks for iwara to go back online, if you can launch a competing platform in that time you could gain enough momentum due to short term lack of competitionbut unless you take less than 5 fucking years to implement something as simple as community tagging then don't bother
>>8813839>>8813840Don't tell me what to do you bloody bastard benchod bitch
>>8813917I was thinking more along the lines of how I could scam iwara into giving me wura.
>>8813942not gonna happen, they will either recover their sales records and refund the purchased wura back into wura on the site, of simply wipe everyone's account back to 0
>>8812726>AttentionAnon, no one wants to do this, and the competition is always shitting themselves (HMVmania, Rule34video). It's a shitty job, with little to no good pay, I salute the anon who tried, and it's a shame we might never have a site like Iwara again.Why were they kicked out by their devs out of nowhere though? Aren't they legally obligated to at least give them a deadline? At least according to US law?
>>8814002>Anon, no one wants to do thisYet multiple people already try despite there having been good enough alternatives already available.>competitionIt was never a competition, they serve a different purpose.Smegma literally only does it for attention and hosts the worst site you could ever imagine.Rule34Video is more focused on western stuff and just sharing porn while Iwara is more of a community mainly made for MMD.Even recently there is yet another site, lewdbeats, which was before Iwara. Are you so naive as to think they made a site in order to compete against the top dogs?Of course it's for the sake of attention.
>>8814002there are plenty of rule34 sites that host content similar to iwara and rule34video and they have even way better UI design and all that but they get fuck all traffic, and without traffic even the best site is worthless
>>8814077Link em
so looks like the 2023 database backup they had is actually only start of 2023, so that is 3 years of videos and user accounts gone.
>>8813839>>8813840What I don't understand is, if the video data is backed up can't that data be restored even if the database is gone? Yes you lose all data regarding author/titles/etc, but if you're thinking of doing a private archive with volunteer sorting + tagging to slowly make it available anyways can't you do the same with the post-2023-backup videos? A lot of info like author/titles/etc can be found elsewhere anyways - like you said, the SD database has a lot of that info already. Surely this is significantly preferable to just losing all the videos entirely.I don't care how long it takes to restore the site, I'll wait months or longer if needed. I'm just terrified at the idea of losing two years of content, especially when the videos still exist and are accessible.>>8814085Pretty sure it's October 2023, unless you have an ironclad source that says otherwise.
>>8814112>October 2023,one of the mods confirmed it's 03/2023
>>8814120I could have sworn another confirmed Oct 2023, huh. Both just hearsay without a confirmed screenshot anyways.In other news, looks like they're having some success in recovering 'the most critical data'. Possibly time for a bit of hopium?
>>8814077iwara was made in an environment where the competition was niconico, vimeo, and fc2 (all of which are basically dead for mmd in the current day)People seem to fail to recognize that the utility of iwara is not for the viewers, it's for the creators. The point is you upload your own work instead of videos you downloaded from elsewhere. The "content" available on those other sites doesn't mean shit if it's not put there by the creator themselves.There is a reason why out of all the other alternatives, the admin gave a shoutout to the relatively unknown https://n.sfw.video : it has an original content policy.
>>8814156>The point is you upload your own work instead of videos you downloaded from elsewhereThen why allow HMVs which are literally just clips from videos made by other people with some mp3 slapped on top?
>>8814169I don't personally like HMVs on the site either but they are still distinct enough from the source material to count as a new work. Reuploading someone else's HMV would get taken down, take that how you will.
>>8813889man just think about how many will just give up completely. japs do that shit all the time
>>8814077Link 'em. I see none that have a UI as good as Iwara. Rule34video keep shitting itself and the comment section is broken most of the time
>>8814208do you really need a comment section
>>8813896>you made your account after 2023>just barely made the cut
>>8814246>mfw I bookmark every artist instead of following them with an account so I'll just make a new one
>>8814216Yeah? How will I show my appreciation for the creator and maybe share a thing or two, or perhaps learn from the comment section? Besides, the community feel is kinda nice, had good talks with ppl on iwara, specially regarding camera angles
>>8814169Just because some retards just slap music onto existing clips and call it a "HMV", doesn't mean HMVs should be disallowed.There are PLENTY of actual good editors out there who actually put effort into their shit.What you're thinking of are compilations, not HMVs.
>>8814296good>>8814216bad
>>8814246All your likes, follows, friends etc. will be gone so who cares.
>>8812090>this works for "mmd 紳士向け" but not for "mmd (r)18"
>>8813839>>8813840>chinese hostingThey're very censorhappy, no? Why not just find some third world shithole that ignores every other global law, especially copyright laws too? That seems to make more sense to me.
>>8814743Also, hopefully this serves as a lesson to them and they keep extra backups now of the videos and db spread across multiple places and forms.
So is anyone actually taking action or are we all just waiting for Iwara to capitulate
>>8814866You were in charge of preparing the DDoS, right?
>calling for a raidis someone calling for a vacation
>>8814745lol no.
>>8814936>>8814936>>8814936new thread
>>8814417The only real downside is that I'll have to re-friend people to view their private videos (if they even come back).
