Until the recent December/January user influx, Strange World was consistently the 2nd most active board since it arrived here in July 2021 - even outpacing Off-Topic at times

The same cannot be said for Lounge... but since one of Lounge's primary purposes these days is to house longer-lasting, longer-format discussions, that's to be expected

Both have their purposes since they offer different cultures, different formats, different paces, different forms of AA, etc.

It's things like having multiple generic 4chan-clone imageboards that is redundant, but we already got rid of all of those

/lounge/ is for wise old men
/b/ is for lulzy otakus that make OC's
Ayashii is for short chatroom-like posts and discussions

Which is the second most active board now? Are you looking at mod stats, or do I just need to start paying attention?

>>63372
I was just speaking from experience and previous calculations, but it's not hard to calculate

Here's the rankings for the past month (roughly), except for /jp/ which has only been here for 2 weeks:

1. /b/ - 137 PPD (posts per day)
2. /jp/ - 15 PPD
3. /lounge/ - 12 PPD
4. /q/ - 10 PPD
5. /sw/ - 9 PPD
6. /o/ - 2 PPD

For context, here's roughly the same period last year (mid March to mid April 2022):

1. /b/ - 23 PPD
2. /sw/ - 12 PPD
3. /lounge/ - 4 PPD
4. /q/ - 1 PPD
5. /o/ - 0.4 PPD

And here's 1 particular week of May 2022, featuring the "Kaguya Is Now Heyuri Admin" effect:

1. /b/ - 45 PPD
2. /sw/ - 25 PPD
3. /q/ - 10 PPD
4. /lounge/ - 6 PPD
5. /o/ - 1 PPD

>Are you looking at mod stats, or do I just need to start paying attention?
Other than the audit log, I mostly used searched within discord webhook to calculate last year's stats (on kokonotsuba boards) for last year's report on the front page. It's the easiest way and available to anyone.

On /sw/ there are Message logs, and /o/ is slow enough to easily calculate with post numbers (although it's a bit easier to calculate with the mod panel).

Mine works fine, ur VPN server must have gotten B& somewhere along the line

but what's the point of b&s at all if you can always just use Tor?

I can post whatever I want here, and noone can stop me!!!

I just have to inconvenience myself a tiny bit to do it...

>but what's the point of b&s at all if you can always just use Tor?
You have discovered the secret of imageboards: b&hammer is purely for pwning n00bs, hindering bots, and producing LOLs

What is your IP on the VPN? If it's on SpamDB I can probably open it
If there is any reason you don't want to post it here, you can e-mail it or just PM it to me on /b/.

>but what's the point of b&s at all
I think most of our srs bans are reminding users about the rules

Probably because Cloudflare can't identify your browser agent or something like that. Heyuri was getting DDOS'd so this should go away soon

I WILL NOT UPDATE

DEATH TO CIA-FLARE

cool


im really here to show my true love for the godness of the neko loli picture you found

There was a hueg unannounced and unofficial campaign by a user or 2 back in late December/January, but more recently I only know we've been advertised on 5ch due to 日本語's launch

I'm tempted to bring back 2020-style b&hammering of all 2008+ style posts and Serious Business™ - teh RAEG and teh cryingz will be an sight to behold

>>63334
yes, and you can do nothing about it.

I have advertised 日本語 on a few more places, but not anywhere that could bring 4chan-style posts to /b/. As for one user's advertising campaign, out of all places it was primarily done on /v/, but a lot of them (or at least the rule-breaking ones) were b& at the time. Maybe there is still a passive influx of users from 4chan somehow?

Looking back now, I feel like b&hammers in 2020 were more providing more fun than actually banning bad posters, which was great because we didn't have many bad users to begin with. The situation today may be a bit different... That's why we should approach it with more vigilance. Perhaps by checking other posts of users who make bad posts, evaluating whether they meet a specific quality level for Heyuri, and making the final decision to B& or spare them

Also will 63334-san prove 63335-kun wrong or should I do it in his place?

>Looking back now, I feel like b&hammers in 2020 were more providing more fun than actually banning bad posters
There was a lot of both, but I think the difference is that back then, most of us would just LOL and move on if our post was deleted or a ban message appeared, cuz we were all friends and knew the site was just a place for lighthearted fun and silliness

These days there seems to be 1. more humorless trolls just looking to p00p up a good thing, and 2. more anal retentive users who take The Internet and themselves very seriously

>>63334
A year ago I got a three month ban. I'm no longer banned, and I visit this site once per month.

there was a whole poll about rule 8 on 2ch a while ago... like a year or so

>>63295
I believe the poll was shortly before Saint Nakuras disappeared, and that was what, late 2021? It's been a while since that debate was settled

>>63275
Do you plan on beginning to ban file dumps on there? I don't think anyone else benefits from those language learning archives and it only serves to make the site more cluttered and filled up

>Do you plan on beginning to ban file dumps on there?
File dumps are pretty much the purpose of that website

It's worth noting for teh n00bs that ２ちゃん started out as a separate website created by a Heyuri user (Nakura) who merely announced it here, and their intention was to have a completely anonymous and unfettered (besides illegal material) file uploader

But when it ended up effectively only being used by Heyuri users - and then became a semiofficial Heyuri service - some of us suggested that it should probably at least have Rule 8, which was subsequently voted on and agreed to

Nakura mysteriously disappeared around this time (party v&???), and kuz - who was providing the hosting by that point - took over the operation of it. When kuz stepped down as Heyuri admin, I believe kaguya was also put in charge of ２ちゃん since it is basically part of Heyuri at this point

So with all that said, whether 2ちゃん should adopt more of Heyuri's rules (such as Rule 7, which most Serious Business war propaganda for ongoing wars breaks IMHO), or whether "Everything" should continue to house things liek users' personal files or not, are things that still need to be discussed and decided on

>>63342
Yeah hopefully that happens, when I made the thread I meant exactly that but I didn't know that was under Rule 7

we don't even get technology threads on /b/...

I'd like to have somewhere to discuss technology that's not filled to the brim with trolls, flamewarriors, p**** and w*****.

and excessive faggotness (lainchan)

Just make technology threads on /b/ there's no reason to make a whole board for it. Heyuri had one a few years ago I think but it got deleted

I'm pretty sure there was a thread a few months ago about a science/tech/maths board and Kaguya said that it might happen at some point as a trial board.

fixed
Interestingly, it was properly working on /b/ despite the bug

fixed for /q/*
still b0rk on /jp/ it seems

Then it breaks on /b/ too. Decided to revert after doing some tests
I can't say I really understand how it works... What works on /b/ and /jp/ contradicts with the one for /q/. My uneducated guess is that it's something to do with the old imported database from gurochan (also the reason /q/s numbers are so high).

I think it's something like "/b/ is set to generate JPEG format thumbnails, /q/ is set to generate PNG format thumbnails, both boards set to generate <img> elements linking to the thumbnails using the .jpg file extension"

So when you change both boards to generate <img> elements with .png file extension, it corrects one while b0rking the other. You'll need to check the "$THUMB_SETTING" part of the config file to check they're both generating the same format

PS: I think the reason PNG was considered was because it possibly fixes (or hoped to fix) the transparent background color issue in thumbnails, at the cost of higher thumbnail file sizes

Werk status: werkz

This will only affect threads created from now on though...
Complain a lot so new threads fill the catalog

For the transparency issue, I think you have to establish the color to be used as the transparency color somewhere, and have additional code to see whether a post is an OP or a reply

I messed around with this a long time ago with a different futaba spinoff script, and ultimately I got stuck at the "OP or reply" part and gave up

You lost me at "have additional code"
Best I can do is creating a github issue and hope someone else who is l33t enough will care enough to fix it

I guess we can, but better question is, should we?

No

>>63255
yes

OPEN WIDE

Maybe I will try

I think it would be best to let some time pass first so can get a sense of 日本語's characteristics - liek how Heyuri-tan is carefree and fun-loving, /q/-tan is very grumpy and demanding about site b0rkage, etc.

okkkkk

はい

Speaking of /jp/, the youkoso page every time you click the board link is a little annoying

Maybe there could just be a link to that page on the board itself, liek: "gokigenyou japonaise pplz, if it's ur 1st taimu, plz read this kudasai!" (<-- in nipponese)

It's a very temporary thing, I am planning remove it from the top links tomorrow and do something like you suggested
You can use the link on blotter message to save urself a click in the meanwhile

Complete Heyuri Internet Domination!!

I am personally fine with it as I believe Heyuri has the best users, see Strange World before it was Heyurized for example: https://ayashii.net/bbs.php?c=08&m=g&f=202103.dat

It was mostly terrible, only good qualities were coming from it being advertised on Heyuri

As for Mattari AA, it was one by a Heyuri user (and presumably for primarily Heyuri, although some Japanese people noticed it too) but its license tells
>Feel free to host a copy of Mattari AA online, modify it, or sell it to your least favorite aunt for $$$ if you want - Mattari AA is FREE software for THE WORLD ヽ(´ー｀)人(´ー｀)人(´ー｀)人(´ー｀)人(´ー｀)ノ
on https://mattari.heyuri.net/readme.txt - so kuz can host a copy of it on his sites if he wishes to.

And as for NC... I believe it wasn't worth keeping online as multiple boards on a separate domain. I won't use the "it was a part of Heyuri before its own" argument since not many current Heyuri users used /jp/ when it was a thing, but there are many of us who can write in Japanese/learning to do so, so I believe its merge would be for the best way for the idea that inspired it (which was having a place for non-Japanese practice Japanese, maybe also with some Japanese people posting, in an informal setting).
