well i like to use p2p sharing programs but theres one thing i would like to know and maybe someone has an anwser for that:
WHY THE FREAKING CRAP DO MOST DOWNLOADS STOP WHEN THEY ARE 99,999999% DONE?!?!?!?!
IS IT LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO SHARE ARE LIKE: "HAHAHA THIS MORON'S DOWNLOAD IS ALMOST DONE... ILL STOP SHARING JUST ON THE LAST MOMENT HAHAHAHAHA"
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
because they know you'll, in turn, most likely stop sharing the moment you get 100%
With some apps (e.g. early bittorrent clients) the 99.9% problem happens because of this:
Newer p2p clients often fix this problem by using something called "Endgame mode": When only one piece is left, this piece is requested from all other peers at once.
What >>3 said (was interesting btw, didn't know about endgame mode)

Yeah. That happened to me just 5 days ago. Stopped at 98% and I coudn't find the bastard since. How cruel!
This is probably because the Original seeder wants you to seed to everybody else because you have 99% of the file/s instead of you just closing the seed after you get 100%
i think there is an special options for this also when you create an torrent for seeding to only seed 99,9%.
But if youre downloading a movie that is 99,9% you can just close it and the movie will still work :P

Advantages:
* It's difficult to be prejudiced/biased against a poster because of who they are
* The focus is on the idea not the person who says it
* It is possible to say whatever opinion you like without repercussions
Disadvantages:
* It's easier for people to get away with contradictions
* It's easier for people to get away with for instance running away from the argument if they lose and then coming back in a different thread with the same opinions that were refuted earlier
* It's difficult to get to know a person. This means that one has to rely on the assumption of a shared culture to understand how that person thinks (not sure if this is true or not but it's an interesting idea)
* It is possible to speak in whatever tone you like without repercussions
The more anonymous the medium the more extreme the above points get.
Advantage:
Disadvantage:
One advantage of identity is that reputations could be damaged by committing logical fallacies or using dishonest arguments so there's an incentive to think about what you say and be honest. On the other hand though in some communities reputation could be damaged by simply expressing certain beliefs.

Wow, you're a fag and your posts are retarded

> The End of Cool Japan: Ethical, Legal and Cultural Challenges to Japanese Popular Culture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan is an interesting concept. Gross National Cool is what spawned all this crazy stuff right?

Why do you keep spamming emojis? Is your life so boring and eventless?
>>21
Imagine giving fault to an entire generation for a spammer.
This is dumb, Cool Japan is just a government-funded program to get small children and tourists interested in Japanese stuff.
And the spammer isn't an issue to me, just turn emojis off in your OS, it is interesting to read threads from years or even decades past.
Laziest spammer I've ever seen, if you can actually call it that.
I know right if hes gonna troll people on here he should do a better job these emoji spamming faggots are just a attention whores.
I really wish the Japanese dream never ended. China is scary and Americans are soulless.
Japan is heinously anus
Does anyone here have the original Gear Navy Nevada hooded sweatshirt?
The original isn't sold anymore so those who have them, get them on eBay and notify the chans ASAP if you're willing to part: You'll make a killing!
Does anyone have Shii's lewd nevada-tan artwork saved?
Or any archive of his "All About Nevada-tan" page on ESK?
bump

He keeps on posting that stuff all over the site.
I've no idea why.
It is really pissing me off to be honest.
I would like to create a great new BBS which gets a lot of posts every day, and everyone loves to visit it.
Thanks for you.

the nice thing about kareha is that it is simple and easy to set up, so if the mods on your favorite textboard consider your "free speech" as spam, then you can just start your own and build your own community.
but having guidelines around posting behavior is important unless you want your board to become shit. like ok, if you wanna be racist thats cool, just don't spam it. ruins the discussion.
I wish there were more textboard software, other than the already known scripts (e.g. Kareha, Tablecat, Emanon, Weabot, etc.).
>>21 What do you find lacking in the existing ones?
It would be better to draw people to,this site, just make sure they understand and appreciate classic Japanese style internet culture.
Wouldn't want to dilute this place and ruin the atmosphere.
>>18
Didnt this site inspire a shooter? lol
It seems like the web is getting harder to use.
Or maybe I'm just getting older.
I am not adapting well to the future at all.
Bring back Xanadu.
it's like cable TV now
Fuck endless scrolling! Fuck it.
just some basic html and css skills can create a great webpage with only a few tags. but no serious website would ever do that.

dude
you do not have a fucking idead of how much i hate this shit
really
i hate too much
What are you guys's thoughts on its demise?
Time to buy more hard drives and move to finland

Only to be killed at a later date. Or bought by some American/Chinese corp.
Google Hentai. Tencent Hentai. You name it.
Backup now before it's too late.
ITT discussion of people who use memes, jokes, or lingo in the real world. If I hear one more person say "lawl" in real life I think I am going to die
yeah, pretty much. Also, nice sage.
lol holy shit, sorry for the obscene formatting. I haven't posted on a textboard for quite some time.
I've used net speak irl, but it's always been on reflex. I've said pic related during a presentation and called something based on reflex once or twice, privately though.
The worst net speak irl I've seen is politics. My college has speeches and every few a freshman, who's obviously got all their info from twitter/Youtube ranters, tries to debate people with degrees and years of experience in their field. They use meme speak only their online groups use, which is disrespected every were else, and they always start with loaded questions.
sometimes my friend says out loud DEUS VULT
>>90
I've accidentally called things based around my friends irl too, pretty embarrassing. It's actually kind of a difficult term to find an equivalent for in real words though, not sure what should be said instead.
>>92
It's hard because you are stuck with stale netspeak.
I don't have to use 'based' irl since English is not my language, but any netspeak word can be traced back in its meaning and origin and translated to something else. Of course, some of the value the word carries is lost this way.
The bad part is the lazy attitude of replacing whole sentences with e.g. "that feel when" + insert meme I see adult people use.
When I find something amusing---but not amusing enough to actually laugh at it---sometimes a "lol" escapes from my mouth. It was a habit I started as a child.
>>94 i just breathe slightly faster than normal
I used to use internet jokes irl back in 10th grade, wondered why people didn't think I was funny.
What site do you hate the most? What site looks the worst, doesn't work, or just has fallen in quality over the years?
Honestly 'the worst site ever' would be some half finished project by a board teen or some sketchy site made to only datamine not one of these big sites.
My popular worst site ever would be Discord. Personal vendetta because all artist critique groups moved on there and the site sucks for that. It's impossible to have a 1 on 1 conversation about art when any rando can jump into the server and derail it. Also I use discord then abandon it a lot so I need to make a lot of new accounts. That doesn't sound bad, but they require a new email, that can't be a throwaway or old one, every time and some times they ask for a phone number.
>>8
It also sucks when people use social media as their platform because they think it can mean they can post stuff besides art. They can do whatever they want, but I hate it when I have to scroll past 20 meme repost for one doodle.
Any site where users can create and moderate their own boards (reddit, 8ch/kun, etc). I don't think people realize just how much of a misfeature it is. You almost always end up with 15 boards dedicated to the same subject, each with a different take on it.
You're not going to have a board for politics, you're going to have a board for liberals, a board for conservatives, a board for communists, a board for anarchists, and a zillion other boards where you can go to avoid interacting with people you disagree with.
>zillion other boards where you can go to avoid interacting with people you disagree with
in other words, S A F E S P A C E
>Honestly 'the worst site ever' would be some half finished project by a board teen
Those are good, nowadays the idea of owning a website on your own is a completely foreign concept and anything that does come up just requires some bootstrap template or site builder.
Even if its dumb and something that the teen will forget about or look back on with mild embarrassment, there should be more of those sites around.

I don't really think that is a problem inherent to user board creation. The problem is that they allow infinite user board creation instead of limiting it.
If the website limited the max amount of boards that can be made and pruned crappy ones then you wouldn't get splintering like you do in 8chan and reddit.

wikia is FANDOM now. Remember that. If you started making a wikia website about history of your town or something like that, it will now be FANDOM, with big ads to Superman or Boku no hero academia everywhere.
And there are no alternatives. Gamepedia is FANDOM too. The only wikis that are not FANDOM are self-designed and self-hosted.
Wikia/FANDOM is a work of Satan
Twitter Tumblr Facebook 9gag I Funny Buzzfeed Reddit modern day 4chan and modern day Youtube are all absolute cancer and i hate every single one of them.
As others have mentioned FANDOM is straight up super shitty, it looks awful, filled with ads, and worst of all, it buries the good non-FANDOM wikis due to SEO bullshit.
Nexus Mods and mugenarchive also come to mind as fucking garbage.
And fuck Discord for those people that host downloads on it like ygo percy.
or is it just me?
Search algorithms are designed to return the most relevant results to a user's query. Which is generally a good thing, a positive service they provide to internet users (of course while making some money for themselves in the process)
Search engine "optimisation" exists only to subvert that process and return your site higher than anyone else's, regardless of how irrelevant it probably is. I'm always put off a site when I see visible signs of this practice; ie user-unfriendly URLs with long strings of keywords in them, page titles with same, semi-hidden pages bearing strangely-worded paragraphs and so on. As well as marking them out as a user of what I believe to be an unethical marketing technique, it just looks unprofessional - like businesses that name themselves AAAAAAAAAAAAAAJohn's Used Cars to be first in the phonebook.
SEO's are scum. SEOs are no different than Nigerian scammers or fucknoids who sent out mass spam emails.

a lot of search engines actually rank sites lower for doing things like that. get a better search engine, and stop seeing that shit.
>>3
What is your understanding of a "better search engine" I wonder, and what adaption does it have to reality? That is, which search engine would you say is "good enough" (for some value to be enough)? If the answers google, read this: Google recently has changed its search engine to help wikipedia. Wikipedia has a major bandwidth problem and it strives to keep it low, that's why there's the "star" feature which makes an article read only for most users. These stars are given based on bandwidth consumption for the particular article (notice the calculations are more sophisicated than the sum of bytes transfered, since that'd mean a long article or an article with lots of media would rank high much easier than corresponding short one). If the article gets visited a lot, then it gets the star. Also, don't forget that Wikipedia does not stand alone on the matter of its existence, else it'd be dead time ago. Another problem of Wikipedia is that it got linked too much - simply too many people reference Wikipedia. Google ranked it higher than any other link in most results for which there was an article for it. That of course is something good, because wikipedia articles are up to par (for NON-technical endeavors). But google is massive, and wikipedia had to look for a way to free itself from such heavy weight put on its shoulders by google. The contract roughly was:
Articles which address diachronic concepts or factualities are still ranked on top; (th. Wikipedia dominates the academia using google), Therefore, articles which are regularly changed (in content, not appearance), such as present pseudo-historic commentary, trends, fashion, products, etc get a lower ranking; in particularly, there's a minimum 2 ranks distance (wikipedia is bound to the third position or lower, depending on its relevance to the query and of course the competitor websites which demand a place higher than WK), and other websites get to have their content 'highlighted'. That pleases both Wikipedia and everyone who was unpleased with the mass of Wikipedia (every advertising agency, even google). So you can see how this occured. Google became biased, more than it was before, if any. Lo - search engines return scrambled information: you have to fiddle through it with some criteria and judge.
SEO is just a symptom of the cancer that is the advertisement-supported web.
