Tonight I'm doing a play through of the albums by the Aquabats.
They released a new album , Kooky Spooky.
Currently 2 songs in and it's halfway good.

FUCK yes dude I also listen to aphex twins selective ambient album

Listening to this right now.
I listen to 10 hour loops of women experiencing orgasms.
I listen to Forbidden Memories soundtrack as I browse the web like I'm in a constant battle and struggle with my own personal sanity as I fight from my addictive habits such as compulsory masturbating once every single hour on the hour.

Did anyone make a recent archive of all the images? There was a couple of threads I was hoping on grabbing.
It looks like 420chan is dead now, after the FBI raided Kirtaner on Aug 31st
bun...
Saw this in a fucking promoted Twitter ad of all places, probably because I only use Twitter to follow Japanese porn artists.
Consequentially it seems to be filled with normies but the concept is unique.

seems interesting, for people of all languages to communicate is the gimmick i guess
I once uploaded Kareha onto a server I was running from home, purely just to test the software and study the code. I didn't advertise the board to anybody, and only made three test threads. Amazingly, after having forgotten about the board, and coming back a year later, I found it full of spam and links.
Everybody knows about textboard spam, wakaba's /soc/ board was removed after being spammed to oblivion, the site that wrote the original gazouBBS (futaba's sourcecode) script's demonstration boards were also full of spam comments written in English, so on, we've all seen it.
Where is it actually coming from though? Has anybody ever gone down the rabbithole of internet spam and bots? How do they find no-name sites that nobody visits? What is their end goal? Who actually runs these bots? Is anybody even running these bots or have they been on autopilot for decades? Is there a network of spammers? What is your experience with spam?
Within the past three years or so, "scambaiting" has become a popular genre of youtube and twitch content, with people investigating tech support scammers and robotcallers and whatnot, but I feel like nobody really cares about the rabbithole of people spamming on websites, when it is just as vast and fascinating.
>>18
Do you think that "real r**ed women" spam and the illegal content spam are the doing of the same people? For being man made, it's astonishing how aggressive and persistent it is. There has to be an endgame, but what it is is beyond me.
This thread reminds me of people who begin with an interest in a group of conspiracy theorist believers (e.g. Flat Earthers) and in their journey to understand the thought process of their subjects, they gradually develop a bizarre fascination and end up becoming the very thing they initially ridiculed.
If anyone here ends up evolving into a BBS spam bot manager and/or BBS spam bot, please detail your experiences in this thread.

You can do what multichan does and use image links to source embedded images. Best of both worlds. You get images but can outsource the liability.
>>25
If you do that don't forget to limit it to specific hosts only so people don't embed their own trackers to datamine users.
people keep posting cpz on my favorite altchan
is it feds or cloudflare
i think its just pedos
The quality varies a lot, this new guy seems to have figured out how to use the name/link fields AND html formatting to spam his shoe (?) websites.

That spam bot has been around for a long while now. I'm guessing it was originally made to seek out blog comment sections, I've seen similar spam on those and those also have name/email fields and either HTML or BBCode formatting. Actually, just supporting BBCode is enough to summon a swarm of spambots.
>>1
Very interesting, certainly. In my opinion it must be spam bot farms, some of which left running for decades (have you noticed Usenet spam has not evolved from the typical garbage links?), or even paid Indian spammers
>>27
Feds seek imageboards out to post CP in them to get them shut down. If the janitors/moderators are proactive removing the spam, the feds observe when the janitors/moderators are asleep to perform the spam again, or even, in the worst rumoured cases, actually become janitors and begin antagonizing the userbase to get them to abandon ship.
Kind of a funny development.
it's because they got booted from all of the Legitimate™️ Social Media®️ platforms
I think that as the Internet grew and became inseparable from IRL, anonymous boards have taken on a highly specific role in the gentrified Cyberspace.
the pendulum has left the conservative right and moved to the "progressive: (conservative) left
Social media censorship makes people with these views want to go to messageboards which support free speech
The grasping for last remaining straws of meaning as they're escaping our reality is getting desperate. Will Evolian cosmology, being batshit insane notwithstanding, be vindicated at last?
It's not just the evangelical boomerfaggots violently thrust on the chans by qanon facebook LARPs, you know. Neo-paganism, neo-barbarism, neo-spartanism, neo-antiquity are all the rage now on tiktok, though the kids may not even realize it. Will we live to see neo-rome arising from the ashes of that?
At the end of the classical age we realized that our commitments and norms are not written into nature or the mind of God but just our way of doing things, and we can change them if we want to. This led to the absolute freedom and terror of the French revolution and Enlightenment as human-kind attempted to redesign itself from the ground up, trying to use "reason" to structure society. But then it was found that reason was just as ungrouded and arbitrary as anything else and only contained the basic idea of self-legislation without any direction for that self-legislation to take. Thus we got stuck in our current era, half of the people don't believe in anything but the rule of self-legislation, the rule of not accepting any rule beyond themselves, and half the people believe in unrelenting dogmatism and inner conviction in an attempt to stave off the reality of freedom, that no one can hold us to our commitments but us. Thus, the two political persuasions currently in existence.
i think it is because, over the last 30 years or so, we have always despised "normal people". currently, normal people are universally preaching for things like gender non-binaryism, transgender encouragement, anti-racism (minority fetishism?), child drag events, open borders, etc. for some reason.
Lots of answers in this thread. Unfortunately, they're all wrong.

I hope I get to neo-burn neo-witches at the neo-stake
I'm a Marxist anyway, so I fall outside the reactionary pole.

Interesting post.

I think this is a great line.
What do you know about it?
Whenever I was walking around I'd use a .jar application on my phone to use very little 2G data and browse stuff like FML and other ancient shit sites for a very low cost.

~2009ish. The initial lore of mini/tiny et al is unceremonious, as it was their spat with Ano**alk's mentally unstable sysop's shenanigans spammed all over /b/ constantly that gave all those "tiny" boards visibility.
In spite of her rocky start, tinychan grew to be somewhat liked over the years, as she came to the rescue of many dying text boards - https://dis.tinychan.net. The tinychan frontpage still acting as a convenient sinkhole for low quality posters to this day.
** - the presence of filters even on here is a testament to the menace those boards used to be.
I'd love to see archives of promotional i-mode websites for anime, or anime posters with i-mode links/its logo.
Actually, does anybody know where to find such posters? I've checked the boorus, but there's no good tag for it (at least, not one I'm familiar with).
Dwarf Fortress' forum has a WAP mode, and by extension, all SMF-based forums, at least up to 2.0.13.

A thread on 4chan on productivity and addiction led to a discussion about Fear Of Missing Out in relation to online conversations, that due to its fast-moving (and in the case of *chans, temporary) it leads to a need to have your eyes on the screen and be glued there waiting for a response, because if you don't get in now you'll miss your chance.
This led me to thinking about how BBSs would have things like QWK and REP files so that you can pull down new comments while you upload your own comments and replies in one step, and can then disconnect. Then to wondering about a format where there would only be weekly "mail drops" where only messages sent before a certain day would get in on that drop.
I suppose the question is, do you think there's a place for a "slower" style of online discourse to take the place (only among certain people, certainly not the majority) of the faster, and FOMO-reliant, style that dominates the web now?
>QWK and REP
wat?
dude the main reason I'm here is because here threads don't get flushed into nothingness in seconds, but stay for years instead.
Usenet groups are superior version of the same thing, they still exist, and no one cares.
Technologically it is a solved problem. It's not very helpful against addiction (one can just click send and receive more often) or large volume of messages (spam killed usenet).
I have already seen software restraints to emulate the 90s - "you may only send messages once a day" experimental offline-first-lifestyle mailing client at hackernews. If that can do any good is anyone's guess.
>>4
The thing is while I'm using older technology as an example, I'm also not really wanting to "emulate the 90's" beyond just seeing if it is possible to have a more "offline" lifestyle without just using modern social media (which is really what the issue is) less, but rather thinking about either a new paradigm, or even resurrecting an old one.
The actual issue of connection now is solved, but it solved, but in solving it we have created new issues that, it seems to me, has a far more negative effect on people than the flaws of the past, that being that the internet is slow.
I guess what it all really comes down to is that I am just questioning the assumptions that we make about online conversion and whether we should change how we rate it and what standards we apply to it. Why do we call a community with less than a thousand people "dead"? Why do we call a message speed such that you can check once a week, "slow"? What is actually wrong with either of these things if you go to do other things.
It seems that so many people are ready to just go for total abstinence of the technology (NoSurf) rather than a reconsideration of standards.
These are good questions. A small board does not allow for endless doomscrolling and does nothing for the addicted. People who will try to replace a big board with a small one will become discontent. Slow = "the dopamine comes slower than before".
Therefore, I can see why one will try to quit cold turkey. It's a reasonable thing to try when all else fails.
Usenet groups. Yes the absurdly large group tree is a burden and does no good. Some slashdot people had similar idea as you did and picked one already existing group and posted or crossposted all their tech-related messages into it, as an attempt to revive usenet. So it has been tried at least once in relatively recent times (2015? 2018?)
>>5 Found it. Pony "a messenger for mindful correspondence".
>Pony "a messenger for mindful correspondence"
I looked in to it a bit, and while it seems like a good idea, it being an app somewhat distances itself from its own mission statement. Yes, the app itself will only deliver messages once a day, but it requires the device that you (mostly) carry with you constantly. Apparently the creator didn't want to just make it e-mail, but I really don't see why, and the reasons they gave for not don't really make much sense unless the reason is purely that he wanted to make money out of it (which he actually admitted in an interview).
>1st Paragraph
This is a good point, but I'm talking about more is that it's more an issue of standards, and it could even be argued that there's elements of surrogacy involved, where people are getting the social interaction online that they don't get in the real world. It's true that for the addicted the "slow net" would either be too little of "a hit" or even that they would use the "slow net" in addition to the "fast net," but I'm more coming at it from a different angle, that is the realigning of what we expect and want from the "digital life."
>I have already seen software restraints to emulate the 90s - "you may only send messages once a day" experimental offline-first-lifestyle mailing client at hackernews. If that can do any good is anyone's guess.
I prefer the maildrop idea. Stallman replies to his emails in this manner. He downloads email through a gateway, reads and replies to them while offline, processing attached media in the way it's possible for him to do so.
When he connects, he uploads it all as a batch.
I believe he has a schedule, but if not then he does it whenever, unlike the maildrop which often has a set schedule of 1 week.
how old is the enternet?
>The ARPAnet, the predecessor of the Internet, was born in November 1969, making the Internet 50 years old. In January 1983, ARPAnet shifted to the TCP/IP protocol, which to this date powers the modern Internet.
There needs to be an effort to revive iichan and bring back the feeling and culture of the glory days of imageboards!
Let's try on /img/ - I will do my best to rebuild the vibe
people are stupid, they only use facebook and twitter and shitty mind-controlling socials for zombies, we can't revive the good ol' culture of imageboards
people are stupid, they like simple and addicting mind-controlling cringe social networks like facebook and twitter, we can't take back the good ol' imageboard culture
:(((((
It's up to us the people. Someone among us must carry the torch
I miss iichan every time I browse. I don't miss having to deal with all the CP posting, though. I think I still have a few of the iichan regulars on my steam friends list.
You can bring back the place but you can't bring back the time.

This is the truth. Sadly, this is what it has come to. As well as how >>7 put it, "That era is over". The era of imageboards/textboards have been coming to a close or at least majorly dying down. Most of the people who originally was parts of various communities spread across the web have moved on or are struggling to make ends meat let alone having the time to spare to leisurely hang out online as they once did in the past. The only few that have stuck around for as long as the have either have no lives outside of their desktop computers or just mostly avoid other parts of the web clinging to a familiarity that they refuse to let go. Believe, I understand fully. I'm one of those who refuse to let it go despite all of it's vain. I'm not worried about being on a website with thousands of people. Just a small place that's active with a handful is honestly enough to keep me around checking from time to time.

this was to index.ts btw, right by the function #ika that turns a user into a squid.
There was also a #bee function added that turns the user into a Sageru Bee.

Needs these lines too, or a bug happens when a streamer tries to #die:

why though, giko is dead enough as is
100+ users isn't dead

Ok your right gikipoi isnt dead but why making a new server
same reason why altchans exist

He wanted iccanobif to add his bee and Islamic giko characters and bif refused. Now he is on an angry crusade.
