I started typing up my thoughts as soon as I made this thread, but it quickly became very long and then I became very tired, and since then I've either been too busy or feeling too exhausted to focus on it

Instead of continuing with that essay, I'll summarize the main points of what I wanted to say, and not repeat anything already said by others in the townhall itself:

- My thoughts on rewriting/porting the software are best expressed by this article from the year 2000 on "things you should never do" in software development:
https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/ (TL;DR - DON'T THROW OUT OLD CODE AND START ANEW!!!)

There's no reason to believe that a new script will be any better than what have now (or what we had before, or what we had before that...), but there are plenty of reasons to believe that our current software will be neglected until the new one goes live (which could be months away), that the replacement will be buggy for a long time, that it will be missing key features for a long time (possibly indefinitely like /all/), and that it will take up lots of time and energy from both staff-san and the users for no good reason, burning everyone out and stifling activity. After "TEH CRASH", Strawberry Heaven, the kuz reboot, and the slow and painful switch to kokonotsuba, I DO NOT want to have go through all that rigmarole again - especially not to just get back to where we already are now

- I think HeyuriRemix should at least be promoted and put in the board links before we decide if we want to get rid of it or not - I don't think anyone outside of Strange World was even told about it or shown a link to it until the townhall!

- I largely agree with what kaguya said regarding teh wars and how Heyuri should strive to be neutral/friendly to other sites/admins again, instead of being aggressive-by-default and occasionally picking fights with other sites/admins (which is extremely dumb and paints a HUEG target on our very small back)

- At this point in time, I think giving kaguya the reigns (or anyone else if they have what it takes), even if temporarily, could be a much-needed breath of fresh air - not just for Heyuri, but also for kuz and whatever other projects he has going on. I'd love to see a more active and engaged staff-san on Heyuri like we used to have in the lolico+kuz days, and like what we briefly saw while kuz was on vacation and kaguya was placed in charge. Regular updates and fun/cool things being added, frequent news posts (on Heyuri itself and not some other site), responsive staff-san on /q/, random fun events like CSS hax, and just a general enthusiasm for Heyuri. All those things really made this place feel ALIVE and worth hanging around back in summer 2020, but have scarcely been seen since

- This wasn't brought up, but if the file uploader script that Saint Nakuras was using is too hard to patch, as a last resort we could always switch to something else. While the current version doesn't quite fit Heyuri's aesthetic by default, KENT-WEB's file uploader script seemed to work pretty well in my initial testing, and it was last updated in December 2019. There's totally more uploader scripts out there, but most that I've encountered haven't been updated since teh early/mid 2000s

BTW, the bump limit on /q/ still seems to be 3 days

funny get

Speaking of townhall I uploaded a whole video of town hall #7 back in june but I totally forgot about it!!

There's just something about old school anime prawn that feels really appealing. When it's not terribly drawn, I mean. I guess something about how there was really little in the way of an online digital art 'scene' back in those days, and the technique in those days was a lot less refined and more experimental.

I would say it's more of "how" you use than "what" you use.

>1. What are "retail flash files" mentioned in the rules?
Probably refers to non-freeware flash files - back in the day there were flash-based games that cost real moneez (liek Samorost 2)

>2. Also in the rules, regarding /q/: "Do not post non meta topics outside of here!". Did you mean "Do not post non meta topics inside of here!"?
I think it's supposed to read "Do not post meta topics outside of here!", but in practice the only time it's enforced is whenever a dramaqueen shows up

>3. Is this pic against rule 8?
Just use the original, or alternatively this edit:
https://img.heyuri.net/a/koko.php?res=3501&pagenum=all#p3530

>3. Is this pic against rule 8?
<I think rule 8 is more about how you use it unless it's a shitty nu-meme (which this might count as), but I don't see anything wrong with using it so long as the spirit of Heyuri is maintained. If you want to be sure, maybe ask one of the mods on IRC or see if you get banned for using them. There isn't much reason to use it anyway unless it's relevant, just use >>60743

>>60743
No! Dont use that edit! Make your own heyuri-tan edit and then use that one!

Thank you all for answering my questions

>>61696
WTF WIZARD

>>61697
I think it's pretty impressive that you managed to pick the one actual holiday event we've done (that was more than just a CSS hax), and described it pretty close to how we did it

Maybe you're teh chosen one? Tell us what future events lie in store for Heyuri!

this thread made me laugh

>>61699
I am sadly not the wizard you imagined, but I will not be refrained from shouting ideas!

- April Fools or Website Anniversary: A cardboard cutout of Heyuri-tan has taken over /b/! /b/ has been put on lockdown, and a new board is made as an underground base of operations to take back the board! Perhaps the real Heyuri-tan will show herself to save the day...
- Halloween: Light the carved pumpkin! Each webpage has a global pumpkin which is to be light with a certain amount of clicks. If this light isn't maintained, then the pumpkin loses its light and the website turns dark! The webpage which had the longest time with the light on wins.
- Christmas: Haiku your waifu! Write a seasonal haiku about your waifu. The waifu with the best haiku wins.

I can't believe there's people on heyuri right now who don't know about the

>>61653
>we can just report any issues we come across to the maintainer and let them deal with it
What a shit mindset, this is the kind of thinking that is the reason why all technology is endlessly getting worse and worse. no one is willing to take accountability for anything, it is always just someone else's fault, not yours.

There is literally NOTHING wrong with the software heyuri uses.
>Heyuri's #1 problem has always been the lack of a dedicated developer who can fix bugs, patch security holes
Please give an example of the "bugs" or "security holes".
software can just be functional, everything doesn't need to be in a perpetually constant state of being "updated" with "new" "features" and yet heyuri with no main developer gets new features pretty often...
99% of "bugs" and "security holes" need like ONE dude to fix them ONCE

>>61686
Read the thread properly instead of just jumping in at that post!

I'm not in support of dropping our current software, nor dropping the scripts we were using b4 kokonotsuba should it become completely nonviable - this was a thought experiment about the purely hypothetical scenario where none of the above options were viable (which isn't actually that hypothetical since we've had to move scripts a couple of times before)

And the problem is that Heyuri doesn't even have "ONE dude to fix them ONCE", as stated by kuz and kaguya many times over the past year and a half. You should read the previous townhall logs, where any and all ideas, feature requests, bugfixes, etc. regarding kokonotsuba and Heyuri were shot down across the board due to "lol no developers". And while kuz and kaguya have been able to fix certain things in the past themselves (usually after a lot of pressure and persuasion...), they will not always be able to do so - either due to not having enough l33t sk1llz, or simply being too burned out or busy with other things

If you lurk a little moar you'll also lern how we've been affected in the past by vulnerabilities and hax0rs - hell, it was only a few weeks ago that the entirety of /b/ was nuked via a lone MLP spammer, and that's far from the worst we've ever encountered

Heyuri was once forcefully taken offline and considered DEAD for 3 months in 2020 after a nefarious actor with root access took over and deleted the entire site after having already spammed the shit out of it for over a month after having already destroyed the hard drives of our previous servers causing us to lose an entire month's worth of heavy development on our (then) new script, not to mention all their social engineering and intentionally causing rifts among Heyuri's former staff

The ONLY reason something like that isn't happening on a more regular basis is because nobody with the ability to do so has been trying. That's it. All it would take is another skiddie to get butthurt over something, or decide to use us as target practice, and Heyuri will be deader than /dating/ once more. That's the cold hard truth, and that's why using a popular script used by several other sites who have already faced and resolved these problems has its benefits, should it ever come to that

I also recommend taking a look at our Strange World and Oekaki boards, which are both running on open source scripts maintained by individuals outside of Heyuri - all we have to do is occasionally update them, which isn't entirely painless, but it's leagues better than trying to discover and patch problems ourselves (especially given that we've had ZERO actual developers behind Heyuri for the past year and a half)

>>61693
>especially given that we've had ZERO actual developers behind Heyuri for the past year and a half
Jeez. You guys need to announce the need for developers, then - or get some exercise on the l33t skillz. Heyuri still has a lot of potential, even now.

>>61694
its been in the form of a banner for like 5 months...

>>61702
I seem to be very retarded.

Works just fine for me

I'm not sure how a de-refferer is "kolyma crap" but it sounds like you need to take thr stick out of your ass before I try to explain things rationally

What is the actual use of these jump pages? Is it just to show ads or collect data? Any use for the user?

ITS A DE-REFFERER YOU IDIOTS

Dereferrers are lame

rel="noreferrer" is teh new hotness

KUZ FACTS:
- he speaks fluent Russian and lives in the USA
- his waifu is/was Tomo from Azumanga Daioh
- he also lieks xqs's rendition of Setsunai Waha
- he is one of Heyuri's longest remaining oldbies, if not the longest
- he owns/hosts moar websites on any given day than he did the day before
- he has a seemingly conflicting penchant for both old interwebz culture and nu-4chan style shitposting
- he is a controversial figure on many bulletin boards, including some of his own
- he regularly partakes in long-form trolling and intentional misdirection, and is dedicated to the craft
- he is comftorably incorrect (´ー`)

KUZ MYTHS:
- everything else

Some say his hair can be used as shark repellent, and he once got arrested for selling a pickle that doesn't bounce in Connecticut.

Kuz is the former owner of Heyuri

kuz may be a cat

kuz is a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything

>download button
>redirects to the link of the image
i want a refund on my s4s link

>>61680
It used to work, but at some point kuz moved Heyuri's image storage to his CDN on a different, non-Heyuri domain, and web browsers now block initiating a download if the source file is on a different domain to the one you're viewing, so it's just kinda b0rked until someone moves our images back to heyuri.net or can implement some other form of fix

>>61680
who are you quoting?

Another bug since the server switch is that MP4s (maybe WebMs too?) don't have thumbnails any more

yep, thats another bug fixed ^_^

And that's another thx kuz!

Kokonotsuba is written in PHP

>>61599
Alright.
Is it okay if I send an email once I'm more well-versed with PHP? I've learnt all the basic shit about it and getting into aspects in it that are about web developement

>>61600
Sure, see you then

before i continue further, is there any extra info? like what DB does it use, PDO or mysqli? im learning w/ xampp and mysql using mysqli functions right now and dunno if its the right thing
