If you have strong (or weak) opinions on any of the following things, I would like to hear what you think!
I'll monitor this for a long time and act accordingly if people have any input.
A little progress:
I also fixed some weird spacing in the footer of each board, since it has bothered me for years.
>>5
I could probably make that. Can you link me to the old counter image? I couldn't find it with google.
>>6
It's 8205 on http://ofuda.cc/sample.html if memory serves well.

Many thanks in advance for the effort!
The reason why DQN is so slow is because of all the threads on it. You know about the Forbidden Garden, right? That happened to speed up the board before, at 1800 threads. (See subback.html for a thread list).
4-ch actually has a textboard archival script someplace (wherever the mobile viewing script is). You should make use of it as a first step of getting things back.

RIP these scripts
>>10
These scripts are still sitting on the server, so I will make a note to reintroduce them publicly. I guess this will coincide with me actually archiving the old parts of DQN. The academic year is almost over for me so I'll do it soon.

`//` `\\`From my understanding of how Kareha works, the amount of threads shouldn't increase the time it takes for the script to run in most cases. The entire board's cache shouldn't be rebuilt on each post, just the the actual thread, subback.html, the board index. You guys should try and profile what's actually happening when you experience slowdown so you can fix (or ask someone to fix) the problem at its root.

I have fixed the long loading time that occurred when posting on DQN (or any other large board, if one existed). A description of the problem:
Every time a post was made, Kareha would iterate through every thread on that board and check its number of posts, age, and filesize. If any of these values exceeded a maximum defined in the board's configuration file, then the script would close the thread. The problem is that Kareha was closing already closed threads, which involves rewriting that thread's file. The solution was to not do anything if the thread was already closed, which cut loading time by a good 20-30 seconds on DQN.
Hi again guys. I want to ask your opinion on a new feature:
For each post, how about putting at the bottom of it (or at the end of the line with name, date, ID, etc.) a list of posts that quote it? For example if >>2 and >>3 quote >>1, then underneath >>1 there would be something like: Replies: >>2, >>3.
Another cool thing I have wanted to do for a while is this hover-preview of posts that you get on some imageboards. If I hover over a link >>1, then I get a pop-up box next to the link showing the actual post >>1. This requires JavaScript so I understand that it might not be so popular. But it might make navigation a bit more natural, since when you click a post link, it will take you to a new page showing only that post. I think this behaviour is a bit outdated (although I don't intend to change it).
Let me know what you think!
>>16
I find both suggestions sound. Make it so.
>>16
I'm not particularly fussed either way about the listing replies thing, but the hovering to show posts sounds like an excellent idea.
>>16
maybe you could have that behavior optional so that people who don't want javascript are not forced to have it.
see http://4-ch.net/iaa/kareha.pl/1439692458/
why was >>/2 deleted but not >>/3 (>>/2 was deleted after >>/3 was posted IIRC)
were all posts from that IP mass-deleted without the mod seeing the thread?
or do I remember wrong?
I've an idea: add 'VORUDEMOTO' to the spam filter
So
We just got an imageboard without any warning
The hell?
