I don't really like Heyuri /b/ much anymore.It's so utterly pointless to allow almost 50 pages of threads, yet the thread bump time is still a week, as it was before. After that, there's no point in replying to older threads because no one is going to see them.Feels like the site is dying as "marked for deletion (old)" threads crawl up from page 7-8 to now before page 5.I have to be honest, the entire experience with how this place was spammed with soyjacks and how the staff handled it left a bad taste in my mouth. Their response time was very slow, allowing the entire board to be purged, as well as the fact there was no active backup of the board available to reupload. It drew alot of similarities to when Gurochan lost an entire years worth of posts on their /g/ board a few years ago due to the bumbling efforts of the staff there. It got spammed, and their most recent backup was a year prior. I know the same person owns both sites, so seeing the same bullshit happen here was a tough pill to shallow. IIRC it was the same people who spammed Gurochan who spammed Heyuri.I am generally put off by the fact threads last as long as two months plus now. I like being able to post in or make a thread and it to be gone much quicker than that. I guess the extended board pages are a way to combat future spam, but it feels like the wrong solution to a longstanding problem.
Cheer up emo kid!
Waaaah!!!
>almost 50 pages of threadsThere's only 30 pages, stop exaggerating
thx for giving feedback, but I was planning to bring this up in the townhall in a few hours anyways
I don't really liek it when n00bs post meta threads to Off-Topic - moved to Site Discussion!Sounds like ur just complaining for complaining's sake - the big flood attack was months ago, only affected one board (a fast-paced board that is all about making new threads anyway), and was being handled by staff-san immediately. There was nothing that could be done to defend against the attack at that time since every post was from a new IP, and dozens of posts were being spat out by the second. Countermeasures have been worked on since then by volunteer developers, and kaguya disabling automatic thread purging (for the time being) is another helpful measureNot to mention that "threads not being auto-purged" is exactly how Off-Topic has been for much of its existence (see: the "INFINITE THREADS" and "kaguya manually deletes old threads when he feels like" eras)
>Countermeasures have been worked on since then by volunteer developersthere was actually a countermeasure already before the spambot attacked, but apparently it had a vulnerability that has since (probably - we will know when they fail) been fixed
Also worth mentioning is that for a very long time, the "marked for deletion (old)" feature was b0rked - it would only appear on threads that were 30+ days old, regardless of the fact they'd entered time-based (<-- STFU PUCHIKO!!!!1) autosageIn addition to that, boards other than Off-Topic had time-based autosage enabled on them because a certain off-site group of fags were intentionally bumping 1-2 pages worth of ancient threads to make it difficult to see new threads/repliesThat's why ur more likely to see "marked for deletion (old)" these days
I don't know what OP is going on about with the threads on /b/.if a thread is marked for deletion then if you're gonna post in it, no one is gonna see it, as it should be ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌everything on the first 10 pages (the old page limit) is within 20 days old, and if you're seeing a lack of new threads, that's because you're not posting them (since you can't bump old threads)you rarely saw threads fall off the bottom before without being marked for deletion, so it's not like anything has changed there ヽ(ﾟρﾟ)ノ
>After that, there's no point in replying to older threads That's like it has always been even before the mark for deletion was introducedIt's a byproduct of the small user base. Once the 10-15 regulars have said all they can say about a topic the thread is done for
