Post happening sadness edition.ITT: Interesting and unusual stuff that's happening on the boards you visit.Non-happenings, small GETs, complaints about shit boards being shit, known spergs sperging out, personal report buttons and blogposting/avatarfagging belong in the nonexistent /nah/ thread.Past happenings: https://wiki.bibanon.org/4chan/HistorySee how active 4chan boards are in real time: https://4stats.ioSearch 4chan: https://find.4chan.org & https://boards.4chan.org/searchPublic ban archives: http://185.10.68.107:1776/ (4bans) & https://hiddenservice.cc/bans (IPv6 only)Enhance your 4chan Archive Experience: https://rentry.org/FoolFuuka_UserscriptsHow to access IRC and contact the mods: >>>/qa/1690512Previous thread: >>78584370
Last thread was a unique aberration, but this will be a happening-less marathon of a thread.
>>78612862Yes, that was too much of a happening for my tastes. Lets make this a nice and calm week-long thread
just noticed the old thread is on p10>>78611857I still need to do more research on it, but yes. It was used from sometime in 2004 to 2006, then apparently redirected back. There's also 4channel.net which I could find almost nothing about besides mods using it to host images for embeds. Moot mentioned spinning off 4channel again in 2009 [https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/18150749/#18152836]4channel.org started being used in 2010 for /f/lashes exclusively probably until whenever 4cdn.org became the image server.
>>78613069what happened to 4channel anyways? If I search 4channel.org it takes me straight to the regular 4chan homepage instead of the worksafe one.
>>78613301shut down months ago
>>78613301https://zip.4channel.org/
>>78613415Is this the entrance to cygnustown?
seen in irc
>>78613307perche?
>>78613498I don't understand why people are so against discussing games on /vg/. You have a thread there use it why make a thread on /v/ as well? People act like this is some huge issue and that the mods just don't get it but I don't get it and I think the mods are correct in this situation. The topic isn't banned it's just on a different board. Is there just something that yucky about /vg/ that they refuse to use it or do they like the more chaotic and random exposure to more people whereas in /vg/ nobody really browses it they instead just go to their preferred thread and ignore everything else. Why do people fight so hard against going to /vg/. I swear about half a dozen schizos were initially mind broken because of a topic being moved to /vg/. Why is this such a terrible fate?
>>78613571Like all decisions made on 4chan, there's been no official statement on the matter. It was just changed, (I think almost a year ago now?) and I assume it's because Hiro didn't get the extra ad revenue he expected from splitting 4chan and 4channel into separate NSFW and SFW websites.Also, 4chan-x hasn't been officially updated in so long that the SFW boards still redirect to 4chan lol.
How long will it take for the slower boards to recover from the wipe?
>>78613827/lit/ is at 9 pages/ck/ at 8/d/ at 7/c/ and /aco/ at 6/h/ and /an/ at 5/cm/ at 4/vip/ and /diy/ at 3/3/ at 2
>>78613609It's impossible to keep threads bumped on /vg/ cause of all the gacha shit making a billion threads a day. Also vg culture is fucking terrible and no one wants to be associated with it
>>78613667ccd0's 4chanX considered deprecated https://github.com/TuxedoTako/4chan-xt
>>78614145I've seen 4chan-xt being mentioned before but what does it actually have that makes switching over worth it? Is it just bug fixes or major changes or what?
>>78614626Started as a PR to decaffeinate (literal term) 4chanX from CoffeeScript to vanilla JavaScript. This was important because CoffeeScript is a dead language. Now it's just its own thing and eventually will be TypeScript which is infinitely easier to maintain. And yeah it actually gets bug fixes and feature updates
>>78614692Huh alright then, thanks! I guess I'll switch over then, I kinda assumed the OG repo would come back eventually but it seems ccd0 got lost on the way home from getting milk and cigarettes :(
>>78614792Yep, now if only someone would take over for OneeChan... https://github.com/KevinParnell/OneeChan
It's very rare that I see scripting and programs being discussed on 4chan. This might be a sign of a great thread to come.
>>78614626besides a million bugfixes it has some cool new features>a button to restore deleted posts to where they used to be in the thread>ability to randomize filename or make it whatever you want per post>built in external sound support>tallies up IDs on ID boards to return the IP counter>lets you see how many replies linked OPs have like native 4chan>ability to see what position a thread is on page 10 (mostly useful for general bakers)there's more i can't remember
ok, you convinced me, shills. Do I get to keep my options, filters, etc. in this other version?
>>78615383Yeah just export your 4chanX settings and import them to the new user script
>>78613609>Is there just something that yucky about /vg/Because every 4chan general forms its own autistic """culture""" and becomes a place for the same 5 people to circlejerk, so all the normal people leave and you can no longer discuss [thing] normally.
>>78615426To be fair, nobody goes to /vg/ just to browse. They go for specific generals. So getting new posters is impossible for anything that isn't massively popular. So generals can't help but stagnate.
>what's wrong with /vg/ bro>>>/vg/491914698Go ahead give it a readIt's been like that for years now since covid easily
>>78615520This is like DT but without the furry porn and obsession with chuds/tbp
>>78612762ignore the cringe of the picrel but how do i make my 4chan look like this? please dont call me a plebbitor i just like the tree system
>>78613498"it's a general no matter what" is a shitty answer and he knows it>>78613609/vg/ is where mods send shit they don't want on /v/ based on a completely arbitrary line that changes depending on the mod asked and the subject involved, do not EVER let them live down super smash bros. not getting forced onto /vg/ because it was a "cultural phenomenon"/vg/ serves absolutely no purpose but as a garbage bin. it is /trash/ but for /v/. it's as shrimple as that, it's where things are sent by mods when they want it to die
>>786156414chanX/XT with threading enabled
>>78614145imagine shilling shit just for the sake of it being newbesides being ugly, anyone who has used XT for any extended period of time knows it's buggy and slow>>78615335some of the new features are decent, but it doesn't outweigh what i saidi literally have both in my userscript manager, and i deliberately use 4chanx despite the new features because of this
>>78612762What's the purpose of these threads? Why do you do it?
Anyone have any happenings department image edits w/ pepes and whatnot? I used to see them often when these threads were on /trash/ and I thought I had some saved on my puter but alas I can't find them. Always thought they were pretty cute.>>78616119It's one of the comfiest recurring threads on 4chan. Feels like I'm apart of something and I get to see what's happening on other boards that I don't frequent.
>>78613498Oh hey that's me, the autismo I mean. I felt like this was an unusual answer from the mod because threads about other games that have recurring generals on /vg/ are fair game to make threads about on /v/ with no recourse (World of Warcraft, Genshin, RuneScape, etc.). I don't know if the mods just hate FF14 or there is something going on behind the scenes about threads of that game in particular. I'm personally of the opinion that ANY on topic video game discussion thread would improve the board since it's largely just shitposting, coom threads, outrage industry stuff like SBI/Griftershit, and flopshit like concord.
>>78614145Just installed it. How do I fix this?Also is there a way to get the old UI
>>78616075>buggy and slowmind telling me script which is which here?
>>78616324performance test #2
is [s4s] interface real?
>>78616315What userscript engine are you using?
>>78616344Violentmonkey.
>>78616348Interesting, did you try with fresh default settings first? Anyways I'm not the dev so I would just submit an issue on GitHub if you want to keep using it
>>78616366I think I fixed it. Something in the time formatting broke when I imported 4chanX's settings, so I wrote it manually.Another thing. Do you know how to make the watcher icon black like the other icons?
>>78616309it's a bullshit nonanswer, the common FFXIV opinion is that the mods are world of warcraft fanboys. given world of warcraft can have five or more threads on the catalog no problem, well,
>>78616405I really have no idea dude. Like I said in IRC, I hardly play the game and don't have much involvement with it on 4chan, but I've seen the /vg/ threads for it and it's mostly ERP and drama about some shitty transgender voice actor. If that's where I have to discuss the game on the website I'd rather just not discuss it at all.
>>>/a/270347374The absolute state of nu-neo-/a/.
>>78616459they're banking a bit on the threads being bad and therefore proving there's no /v/ audience, is the long and short of it. /xivg/ is kinda par for a large /vg/ general and it's a learned skill to ignore avatarfags, coom bait and dumb community drama
>>78616342I vaguely remember this since I used to [s4s] kind of regularly. It's real and did things like highlight dubs on the board if I remember correctly.
>>78616390>Do you know how to make the watcher icon black like the other icons?It should turn black when the Thread Watcher is open
>>78616460>>>/a/270349407>new thread is made as soon as the previous one is deleted
>>78617133>/a/ users actually asking what streaming site is the bestThe reality is nowadays streams are high quality and not much different than a downloaded file watched in mpc, but as an older /a/non I am dying reading this and know myself and every other user on that board 10 years ago would stone these posters to death.
>>78617290Where are you supposed to get old shows with no seeds?
>>78617300Nyaa tends to have everything, even older obscure shit nobody cares about will have single digit seeders. In the event that you come across something with zero, try tpb or try bakabt. I think they went private though, but I'd imagine they have a discord server or something and I'm sure somebody would help you out with that 1 title
>>78617133More:>>>/a/270350782>>>/a/270350121 (this one is a troll announcement on top of being shit).
>>78616324>>78616325i have to admit you're rightwhen measuring, 4chan XT is consistently around 100-200 ms faster than 4chan X. this certainly wasn't the case a few months ago (half a year+ to be honest)i'll use it for a while again to see if bugs are still a problem and if lag kicks in unexpectedly
>>78618414first bug already encountered. i remember this oneit doesn't highligt my posts or when i click on (You) in some threads. seemingly random
Sometimes I have flashbacks to how much I would talk about my personal life on forums and it makes me realize how glad I am that 4chan is where I decided to talk most often, since everyone's shamed into anonymity here.It wasn't under my real name and I've gotten lucky enough once with an account I made with most of the stupid shit falling victim to a huge data loss, but there's still more out there and Jesus it really gnaws at me. Thank fuck for this shithole.
>>78615520I don't have an issue with not using proper grammar and punctuation but seeing 95% of the posts there be a few words in all lower case makes me fucking sick. It's like watching discord/twitch chat logs being imported straight to 4chan.
>>78615641You think that's reddit? I'll show you reddit!
>>78615520what the hell? do they not know how to reply to people?
>>78615507>>78615426>generals suck and turn into an awful group of discord metadrama, attentionwhoring, and circlejerking>why dont mods like generals on /v/ >:( it'll be different there!!
>>78618797What interface is that? Looks like a great skin. 4chan skins you can download always look sus. I don't want to get viruses.>>78619192/v/ sucks most of the time anyway lmao.
>>78619204This one's a userscript but I just got it for the lols and don't really use it, but it does have some cool features like changing the favicon on the browser tab to be reddit https://update.greasyfork.org/scripts/16672/4cheddit skin.user.jsFound it with Violentmonkey's "Find scripts for this site" feature.
>>78618801It's some intentional thing that started so they don't give (You)s out and they claim reply numbers aren't necessary since you can follow the conversation without them. Anyways it's just a small group of mentally ill freaks that drove away the rest of the posters I just wanted to show an example of why and how /vg/ is so shit
>>78614145wait what is this XT version.. do you guys use it? I am stuck with normal 4chan X since like 2013.
>>78614145>jak posterDismissed.
PSA: Whenever you see illegal images, make sure to report it in the archives, too! We need to look after the archives we have, we've already lost too many T~T
Ughh a nintendo direct thread was stickied on /v/>>>/v/686876337It really sucked :(
>>78620473The direct or the thread?
>>78620453I mentioned a few threads back about AI generated CP that's still up in the archives and it doesn't seem like it'll be deleted despite my reporting. Is AI CP not illegal in the US? I would assume it's in the same category as loli so not illegal (as of now), but surely I'd think this is too risky to allow considering it's nearly identical to the real deal, as opposed to something clearly fictional/drawn.I'm not sure if anyone else remembers seeing that post but I can't find it now, it was a link to a /g/ AI general a couple weeks ago.
>>78620473pizza tower on switch made it all worth it
>>78620498Both>>78620691It's a really good games. But I'm tired of ports
>>78620453Was this posted after the pornstar thread on /tv/ got attacked by the CP hall monitor?
>>78620752>CP hall monitoris this /tv/'s version of the moldovanon's town rapist?
>>78620609gray area since it's still new but I think the law is starting to shift towards illegal since they found real csam in the training database, so it probably falls under similar area as "drawings of a real child or derived from material of real children", like artists who trace or make porn of real kids like shadman did>>78620752I don't use /tel 'viv/, but the first sonic movie thread on /v/ had someone spamming softcore shit and links to more stuff, so I reported it in both b4k and moe
>>78620833He's just some degen that posts CP in grey area threads he wants deleted, usually Youtube threads and I think Fishtank threads
jannies on /v/ are asleep and someone is spamming dog gore
>>78621182that's lovely
>>78621182The nigger is now posting on /a/.
>>78620453I haven't seen an illegal image since !Akemi posted one on some random Madoka thread like 3 years ago to make ACK mad
In theory it would be good that tranny is starting to become watered down to the level of faggot around here, where people don't use it for political reasons and they're just using it as a buzzword slur to fit in, but it feels like far more people do actually think the person they're insulting is transgender versus people who actually think the other party is gay when they call them a fag.I've seen that one chart showing the rise in the usage of tranny from being basically unused in 2018 to unmissable nowadays, but that graph really doesn't give enough context as to how frequently used it and related insults are when compared to even popular ones outside 4chan like retard.

>>78619192>>why dont mods like generals on /v/ >:( it'll be different there!!I don't know about the other ones but the genshin threads on /v/ are so much better than /vg/'s most of the timeyou're actually able to talk about the game normally and hold a conversation without being drowned by sales fags,twitter screencaps, the 30 ritual posters, bait posts and every other type of shitposter under the sun. And the shitposters that do show up on the thread, most people know to just ignore.
Just realized the Great Deletion a couple days ago wiped the posts of about 40,000 IPs>>78584370>Current Users: 238,920>>78612762>Current Users: 201,688And right now it's at 210,933Considering the current users count only shows unique IPs that have unarchived posts, I wonder what the site's actual count would be if all of the slower boards with month-to year-old threads were wiped as well (but really please don't let this happen mods).
>>78624158Nice observation.
>>78624158You wont have the user count back up to 230,000 in neither one month or two months, I think. A lot of the posts that were wiped were years old, whatever the users that make posts and rebuild the catalogs now, they are part of the 210,000 that post on other boards. I expect the unique user count to recover a few thousand, from the few posters who exclusively posted in those small boards.
>>78624158Despite making up less than 2% of the posts received each day, that group of boards totalled for 20% of the unique users in the database of the site...
>>78624866The absolute fucking state of 4chan. I still oppose the email verification scheme imposed on /biz/ for a minute, but I can no longer dispute that the mods are right to fear bots and spamfags.
>>78624158I also forgot to mention the user count has dropped back down to pre-covid levels, where it was closer to 200k rather than the 220-240k it's been hovering at for the past few years.If you would please consult the graph...>>78624866This is interesting too, all the boards that were wiped minus /biz/ have been historically slow, I guess there were more one-time posters versus the faster boards which probably have more individual shitposters? No other idea, honestly.
>>78624866I don't like these implications.
>>78624866>>78625441it does intuitively make sense that faster boards also have more posts/posters
>>78625485It's because boards with aged posts house more cross-sections of posters, over time. Like strata in the soil. I did not mean to imply that the rest of the boards aren't genuine.
>Despite making up less than 2% of the posts received each dayI must come forward. I made up the "2%" figure.You could add up the numbers from 4stats.io, but you do it, not me.
>>78624866That seems natural. 4chan encourages drive-by posts, it's the main reason why m00t never added an account system.
>>78616075You should stop. Stop liking what I don't like.

Since this is thread tends to be filled with people who genuinely love and care about the website, I'dlike to ask you two questions.>What are you going to do when 4chan officially shuts down?>What do you think will be the circumstances of the website terminating? What is the thing that will actually kill the website?
>>78627373Graduating is a term in the idol industry/vtuber scene that means they're closing up shop. This could mean quitting, getting fired, or simply moving on to something else.
>>78627407Then just say that then.
>>78627390>>What are you going to do when 4chan officially shuts down?go outside until i get bored, then look up altchans>>What do you think will be the circumstances of the website terminating? What is the thing that will actually kill the website?no idea, this site has weathered so much shit and proven time and time again that things can always get worse but it'll still persist. i feel like under the conditions required for 4chan to die things elsewhere on the internet and irl would be horrificor a mod could just wipe the entire site and all backups by accident which would be an appropriately anticlimactic end
>>78622516>tipping it out onto the floor while he's still in the room, making him get you another one (and get a mop while you're at it, chum)
>>78627473I'm not the one that posted that. Vtubers are cringe as fuck.
>>78627390>what will I doProbably disown the internet entirely. This website is all that ties me to it; I don't do anything else but check the news and fap.>what will kill itHiro will get tired of it and sell it, it'll be bought by someone that wants to turn it into something totally different (and corporate), and the website will go tits up.
>>78627610likely the only way for it to die is if something happens to hiro, he doesn't give enough of a shit about us for anyone to notice if something happens to him until shit here would get fucked up
>>78627390>What are you going to do when 4chan officially shuts down?Assuming there's no widely accepted replacement, I would probably go insane. Would unironically consider suicide.>What do you think will be the circumstances of the website terminating? What is the thing that will actually kill the website?I think the only thing that can kill 4chan is US law changing significantly or something globally radical like the Internet as a whole being terminated.
>>78627744>>78627874at least altchans have proliferated enough that the culture will live on even if the site does die
>>78627877As an altchan dev my goal is to one day be the #2 English-speaking imageboard
>>78627877If something big enough happens that 4chan has to close its doors, every altchan will have to follow suit. I'm imagining hypothetical future scenarios like a one world government, some ending of the Internet worldwide, or things along those lines. I truly don't believe anything besides can kill the site.
>>78627914just need to be careful not to end up like old 8chn
>>78627941if something on that scale happens we'd have much bigger things to worry about, most likely scenario is something retarded and easily-avoidable happens instead of some major event
>>78627944I will be following a very different path from 8ch - as a result, most people reading this would absolutely hate my site. If it grows, I expect it to largely be by converting non-imageboard users into imageboard users. I think that will be the path to a #2 I'd actually like.
>>78627975How do you plan to do that when image boards (especially 4chan) are already archaic, out of style, and losing users by the day?
>>78627989Complete overhaul of the design and features, with default anonymity, threads, and chronological ordering being the main things preserved. Call it a modernized message board or nameless social media or anonymous Discord/IRC; the terms don't concern me too much.The proof of concept altchan I've made with the software has 1.2 million posts despite only having about 30 users in its lifetime, which suggests the idea is viable. So far most of our users just treat the site as a superior substitute for Discord, with everyone always concentrated in a single thread, but the next test is to try to popularize the traditional message/imageboard-esque features.
>>78627989>>78628064And I'm open to extending the paradigm to try to offer an alternative to things like Twitter, as well. I'm not beholden to the message board thread format. I'd still want to retain support for it, though. The only real throughline is default anonymity (though some people want me to pursue default-named boards as well).
>>>/a/270379230the full title of konosuba is filtered on /a/? is this old news or a happening?
>>78627390>>What are you going to do when 4chan officially shuts down?I'm not terminally online and don't frequent the fast boards; but it'll suck losing my niche boards like /xs/ and my haunts for more obscure games. Otherwise, webring already exists, and I already use it more regularly than 4. Even if the site dies, the community will live on - a breakup would probably even be ideal, as different type of posters head off to where they'd be more happy.>>What do you think will be the circumstances of the website terminating? What is the thing that will actually kill the website?Right now it'll never die because it's too much of a convenience to the feds since it ensures they only have to really keep an eye on one monolithic honeypot and don't have to play whack-a-mole in trying to monitor hundreds of imageboards instead. Don't ever forget who jannys /pol/ and /b/; the US federal government will fall before 4cuck does.

What is the thing that will actually kill the website?Something Hiro does, probably for money. Or something really big, bad, and disgusting. That makes all previous things basically nothing in comparison. I really don't want that to happen
>>78627407>getting firedThe term is "terminated"
>>78627390>>What are you going to do when 4chan officially shuts down?Not sure, this website means a lot to everyone on the internet in one way or another so I can't imagine anywhere else online being the same if it dies for reals, as opposed to just being brain dead as it is now. I've been going out for more walks and practicing art which has lead me to using the site far less but even still if it fully vanishes I don't know what I'd do.>>What do you think will be the circumstances of the website terminating? What is the thing that will actually kill the website?For the reasons above I don't think it ever will now, but before 2015 if moot died/was in a coma/got fucked up in some way, then the site would die by the end of that month. His mom was the only other person who could have had access to the site so if it was a car crash or something that caught both of them then yeah that would likely be it, which is one reason he chose to leave. He also could've pulled a girlvinyl, I guess.
>>78627390>What are you going to do when 4chan officially shuts down?Throw a party.>What do you think will be the circumstances of the website terminating? What is the thing that will actually kill the website?When something happens that overexerts the mods and they can't get it under control. Alternatively, law changes might cause 4chan to become region locked, at which point it'd become unusable to a large number of people.
