 No.110[Last 50 Posts]

We are today asking you about the idea of growing our webring (which should already include GETchan and possibly bunkerchan) with other candidates. The potential ideas right now are 7chan (which Comatoast moderates on) and 420chan. Both of these have relatively left wing communities but we are not sure yet.

In addition, we are collecting feedback on the idea of setting up onion access for Tor which comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Furthermore, we think that the majority of users support the idea of getting rid of the sidebar and replacing it with a generic homepage/splash landing page, but please let us know your feedback on that too. Prior proposals about dark red theme and comrade naming are attached also.

Proposal: Make Dark Red the default theme for now, because it feels more like home (though it still needs some tweaks)

Proposal: Make 'Comrade' the default name, will make it easier to distinguish between old and new posts.

Up to you and everyone else. I prefer Yotsuba B.

>Proposal: Make 'Comrade' the default name, will make it easier to distinguish between old and new posts.
Personally, I prefer "Anonymous Comrade" but that's just me.
I still think /anime/'s default name should've been "名無しさん", or a variant like "革命的名無しさん" (Anonymous Revolutionary) or "同志名無しさん" (Anonymous Comrade), but I guess the point is moot now that the board will probably close.

You seem to have payed good attention, I'm for everything you listen in the OP.
Keep sidebar only on landing page and give perhaps a general 'recent activity' post every other month on there.
For onion server, just write a common modding policy in relation to its implementation before-hand for people that may not be readily familiar with its mechanics* (*I'll continue on this shortly).
Also don't forget to change the spelling error on "Marxis Internet Archive".

I'm so glad this (leftypol.org) actually happened.

I personally dislike "The Webring" because I feel like it's infested with /pol/ types and blatantly shouts "We want the former 8chan audience."
It's kind of a shame since boards like /kind/, /sp/, and /librejp/ are in their network.

>>152
In addition to Space_ spamming Spacechan, I recall that he was a member of the "Alt-Chan Federation" who had their Discord leaked to /cow/.

<* Elaboration on modding torposters:
1. When/if you enable the (v3) onion server - simultaneously blacklist torposting on the clearnet domain, this way you have a single throughput of the correctly routed tor traffic, which lessens ambiguity in modding.
Have the actual onion link somewhat hidden, it should only be uncoverable for people who pay closer attention to this community and not just any bad faith tourist / raider doing as little work as glancing the top of the landing page once.
2. We should carry over a similar, if not nearly identical, implementation of captchas here as we had on Space_'s property, as it worked w/o either JS or Google (reCaptcha).
3. An example of a practical policy for mods in handling torposters:
>Level One (being an obnoxious shitposter that nobody likes): remove posts, never "ban"/"rangeban" a tor exit node.
>Level Two (being a lone child sexual abuse propagandist): temporarily disable file attachments, remove posts, never "ban"/"rangeban" a tor exit node.
>Level Three (raids, onion exploited for human-deployed spamming): disable onion posting momentarily until site traffic have started to stabilize to normal (clearnet site would theoretically be secure behind DDoS protection, firewall and good backup (RAID6, one offline, etc.).

>On web hosting
Host in Finland, Ireland, Uruguay, Vietnam (?) or some other non-fourteen eyes / non-NATO country for a counter against potential physical raids of hardware infrastructure in the future. If you haven't taken that into account at this time it's fine but at least consider this more closely when time approaches for renewing payment plans inevitably down the line again.

I don't think it can be treated as a single entity. It's more just a way to get exposure, rather than sharing a userbase.

I don't know if lainchan would be open to it at all or what the state of their moderation is. But there are a fair amount of anarchists over there and it might make sense to be in a webring with them. They're very independent though so this probably an incredible longshot to even suggest

We would like to ask the users about what should be done with boards.
Official unofficial poll - https://www.strawpoll.me/42340954

As we are currently fewer here, we have too many boards. How should these boards be consolidated? To reiterate, most of the support has been towards keeping /tech/ and /edu/. Less so towards /anime/, and i've seen no one go to bat for /games/. With this in mind, the solution appears to be to have these boards:
* /leftypol/ - politics and anything related. Have a New Vegas or calladuty thread
* /tech/ - still the same tech, has a lot of culture so it should be axed
* /edu/ - learning not necessarily political. there are reading groups here so we're also reluctant to axe it. It can now also house more general educational threads, like the /fit/ thread from hobby
* /sib/ - siberia, successor to /b/ but hidden and less cancerous

If you're in general support of this plan please indicate so along with any extra considerations. Otherwise please propose some alternative schemes. Thanks.

 No.173

Forgot to mention: Threads from abolished boards would be moved to their appropriate new locations, not lost forever. So you can keep your posts from before going.

Ah, here we go with the bad polls.
The logic of this poll means that you can not vote for cutting no boards. I used /anime/, /edu/ and /hobby so I would want them to stay (/leftypol/ I am so-so about) .

So that means you couldn't cut /hobby/ if you delete /anime/ and/or /games/ as they would have no place to go, right?

If they didn't fit into any of the other boards.* The fit and guns thread would have a place on /edu/cational. Mattress thread to /sib/eria.

I personally don't want to get rid of any boards. I know it's a bit slow now but I think we will grow fast over the coming weeks. It's too early to say that all the old boards are dead.

However, I guess if we just put the threads on ice and brought them back later when activity improves it wouldn't be so bad.

The issue with having many dead boards is they are slow and don't speed up unless people see the posts there and start replying.
If they aren't consolidated, I strongly suggest a limited overboard that shows recent posts on slow boards only.

I would rather not either tbh but that doesn't really seem like an option to most people. They dont post there so they have no want to preserve it, but the people that do want to post there don't want to post in a board which might stop existing any day now.

/leftypol/ and /b/ stay seperate

I think a /test/ board might be a good way to gauge interest. Some boards will always be slower, just so long as they chug along and aren't dead.

imo if a board has <% activity in, say, four months then merge it into the nearest similar one.

/leftypol/, /tech/ and /edu/ need to stay as their own separate things. Obviously /leftypol/ because it's the heart of this site. /leftypol/, /tech/ and /edu/ actually serve purposes, while other boards are just for hanging out or off topic discussion. On top of this, I'll say it makes absolutely no sense to merge /tech/ and /edu/ when the discussion on /edu/ is mostly about theory, regardless of /tech/ also having an 'education' flavor to it. This could also harm the reading groups which sprouted on /edu/ recently. /games/ and /anime/ don't really deserve separate spaces, and merging them with /hobby/ seems like a good way to handle this. I agree that /cult/ or /kult/ would be good names for this new post-merge board, but I personally would suggest a name like /inter/ - Interests & Hobbies.

It's actually one of the better boards compared to the others, and dumping shit from fast moving boards onto it is ruining the somewhat cozy atmosphere that it has.

I also wouldn't like to get rid of any board. I used /hobby/, /games/, and /anime/.

Although /anime/ also included things that are not technically anime/manga (Touhou, visual novels, game fanart), or even Japanese (Chinese anime thread, Asian animation thread), which I liked, sort of like /jp/ but for Chinese (and other Asian) 2D media too..
Maybe /aca/ (Asian cartoons)? Or even /ani/, a general animation board? /2D/ - animation and comics?

I don't mind the name /ent/, /hobby/ is a simple and boring name anyway. I also think it's a good idea to merge /games/ and /ent/ where all the TV/movie and book stuff is, but I really disagree on merging /anime/ as well. In any case, how about /media/?

I couldn't stand /b/, and didn't like how it was named /b/ (makes it easier to find and raid), although it was kind of nice for the couple of days before the first wave of /pol/ invaders, so if it could be renamed to /sib/, hidden and purged from the /pol/ infestation that would be pretty good. Otherwise maybe delete /b/ and redirect to GETchan (both for a random board or an international board in case the user is looking for one)

Also, maybe consider changing /edu/'s name, perhaps to something like /book/ so that people who are looking for PDFs automatically think about asking there. Or either /learn/ or /know/ to emphasize the other learning subjects like fitness, guns and languages (I'm guessing certain hobbies that don't involve the consumption of media, and instead require building a skill, like fencing or drawing would go here too, right?). It's just that /edu/ never seemed like a particularly attractive name to me, despite thinking it's neat.

>However, I guess if we just put the threads on ice and brought them back later when activity improves it wouldn't be so bad.
That sounds good too. In that case I absolutely wouldn't mind the merging of all entertainment boards, as long as it meant that the smaller ones would be locked and preserved until there's enough traffic and demand for them again.

I like this idea.

>>215
It didn't seem to work on Bunkerchan, to be honest. I quit /b/ permanently a while after its creation and /leftypol/ was/is still full of them. Besides, if they're unaware of this site we don't even need a containment board until Bunkerchan dies or this site becomes more popular.

Also I know it's probably a bad idea right now, but how about a music board in the future? /mu/ or /mus/, based on the reasoning here:

>I'm going to propose something which I and a couple of others said a month ago on bunker, and it's probably a divisive opinion: make the designated shitting board (like /b/) the one named /leftypol/, and have the main semi-serious discussion board have a different name.
If it makes you feel better anon, I read this proposal back then too and kind of agreed with it, but it's too risky.

Strange thing to bring up considering /rouette/ was never a grab bag board. But since you brought it up, I was quite literally the most prolific poster on /roulette/ when games were the subject of the month. I wanted /games/ more than anyone. Totally uninterested, however, in discussing games on a grab bag board where they have to compete with other shit.

Ah yes, great fucking idea, take the board content where a lot of actual discussion and moderation exist(ed) allowing for complex discussion and takes and shove it into the HIDDEN BOARD FOR LITERAL SHITPOSTING.

God I fucking hate you "muh board consolidation" fags. Stop trying to be closet jannies for something this stupid when a seperate board like /anime/ and /hobby/ does NOTHING to negatively impact /leftypol/ and allows for irrelevant media content to be discussed on other boards without clogging up /leftypol/. /b/ is literally just shitposting, emphasis on SHIT.

>20+ video game related threads
And ALL of them were at the bottom of catalog you fucktard. I personally requested mods move them because they were dying. There are 3x the number of threads on /games/ as there were on /hobby/ and they were much more active before the split. /games/ and /anime/ were literally a minority of /hobby/ content and were dead AF there. Stop making "all for one" boards you faggots, /hobby/ is already stuffed as it is, combining many, MANY boards already.

There is no fucking consensus, because the poll is set up in a abysmal way. that doesn't provide a "no boards should be deleted" option or an actual presentation to the mods as to why X and Y should stay or go. This is the inherent flaw of the voting system, especially when it's an unofficial strawpoll that most users don't even see, especially /anime/ users

Why put them on ice? What would be the point when if they're slow, they're slow and pick up naturally?

/hobby/ and /anime/ had finally gotten a steady number of posters 20-30 each and /games/ picked up because of Cyberpunk 2077 coming out and having a massive set of discussion there. Just let it be and handle the fucking tech side of this site. We still can't refresh pages, we still can't download images properly, orange text doesn't work, spoilers are erratic, and a ton of threads outdated because the split was completely sudden and all the boards on Bunkerchan have had continued posts for a week.

(cont.) so is it really necessary to beat this dead horse again? Why are we merging and removing boards that are used and are popular? Just because /leftypol/ is bigger? That's a shitty argument, which means that 4chan should just delete 90% of its boards because /pol/ /a/ and /b/ are the biggest. Absolutely meaningless

I'm still going for my original take, merge /games/ and /anime/ and call it /dork/.

/tech/ should just be merged with /edu/ since the only good part of /tech/ is just someone helping you with computer issues.

Also an the news threads be just have a board just for news? I know it sounds stupid but if we can get the rss feed system going, it would be a very useful source of news.

It's only been barely over a week from this site's setting up. Why such a hurry to remove those couple of boards?

Sometimes you have to make something available first before others start making use of it, as with public transportation and women in computer science. Why not the same for >>>/anime/ and similar?

It would also be better to have this on the site discussion board, or linked on the relevant boards where it can be accessible, because not everyone received the message about the possibly pending deletion until later.
