[Suggestions] [Feedback] New new management [Exciting!] (236)

BPS has passed the site on to me, as you might have seen. Please use this thread for...

  • reporting anything that seems to be broken
  • any feature requests or other suggestions you might have
  • feedback for my own (and others') proposals and ideas

I'm also going to use this thread as an update log, for convenience.

For anything else, you can reach me over IRC (on #4-ch) or .

How long do you think you can run this site? Because I don't want to wake up one day to 4-ch being dead

Add more special and small little features like the 'Release Emergency Mittens' thing on DQN if you can. Thanks ssz

Noted. The counter is probably going to have to start at zero, I hope that's fine.

>>46
"Indefinitely", in terms of the actual cost/effort required to keep it running, and I would like to at least see it hit 20 years. If I ever get tired, I'm probably going to pass it on to someone else in good time before it risks disappearing.

49 Name: ssz!8KKxaxpAFg (Admin) : 2020-12-06 21:09 ID:muTytuBI

For that matter:
The 10,000th of September is right around the corner, and I would like to know if there are any suggestions for other ways to commemorate the event. So far, I've got the following lined up:

  • Cooking up some "new" stylesheets
  • The imageboard is slated to make a return
  • A small cosmetic surprise for DQN

50 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2020-12-21 08:39 ID:K71U+JBZ

imageboard will attract bad actors and more rejects from other [dead] imageboards so many mods OR very dedicated mods will be needed. only way to quarantine them is to give them a dedicated space to degen in, and we see what happened to 8ch for that.
posting source is also dudebro. are you interested in software upgrades and patches?

Please install a webfont for emojis that make them look less intrusive and obnoxious. Ideally one of those black and white outline emoji fonts. That way they blend in better and lose their trolling potential.
Maybe the ideal would be something similar to those old Japanese phone emoji, but I don't think there are any open source web fonts like that.

The same people asking to ban loli .jpgs from the IB are probably 2hu spammers. Ban 2hu at all costs, ssz. This is a board of elitist quality, 2hu images do not fit the standard. SAoVQ's images are terrible even with the size limit. Don't take any chances; remove images that aren't original to 4-ch.

The number of boards should be cut by like 95%. This is a problem with a lot of sites. Way too many boards or subforums for the number of users.

Also, ban pedophiles like >>53. I almost literally cannot use the internet without constantly running into them now. Why are they everywhere?

69 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2021-01-10 20:07 ID:x7WvdLWR

If it's possible, I would rather have boards merged together than deleted. I know kareha uses flat files so I assume that while tedious and annoying it could probably be done by splicing the logs together. The annoying part would be changing the names and getting the dates sorted.

For instance, anime, manga, film & tv are similar enough to each other and overlap enough that they could probably be merged. Programming and tech support; net culture and iaa; news, politics, and debate; romance and personal issues; some others possibly.

Although I'm not in favor of messing with the boards. I treat them kinda like historical monuments.

It would be pretty neat if subback.html could list the thread creation date as well as the last reply date.

Also, when using an alternative stylesheet, getting an error while previewing a post will result in the style being swapped to Pseud0ch.

One quirk of Kareha 3.1.2 that I've noticed is that when directly linking posts by url, sometimes the link shows only that post, other times it shows the linked post and >>1, and sometimes it shows the whole thread. I couldn't find any pattern to what post numbers create what behavior, but my testing wasn't very thorough. Any explanation for why it is like this?

good job on keeping this site alive, admin. i still visit it from time to time, is it just me or it's more active now? also, what happened with the ideas of making some boards read-only and making a "latest posts" log? either way, keep up the good work. if this site ever shuts down i will get very sick

If you link to a single post, or several posts separated by commas, e.g. >>90,91, then it displays only those posts. If you link to a range of posts, e.g. >>90-91, then it displays >>1 as well. If you want to link to a range without including >>1, put an "n" in front of the number, e.g. >>n90-91. If you link somewhere out of range, e.g. >>1000, then it just displays the entire thread.

There are a few others, too. You can use >>q90 for all posts linking to >>90, >>l90 for the last ninety posts, and >>r90 for ninety random posts in the thread.

It's incredibly easy to write a conditional in perl that fills a certain field if found blank. If ssz could write the sjis function I doubt an empty text field would be hard.

/img/ was invaded and they wont't leave. It's damn obvious who's been on this site and who's a tourist. 2hu memes, lainposting, modern anime and instagram memes. I swear to God the only way to keep these fucking cunts out is to make this site invite only. Most *chons just get swallowed in meme cancer and the admins throw the site away before the site has even turned 1 year old. But 4-ch has history. IB hoppers plaguing these grounds and dumping their memes into it like it's a toxic wastedump or an indonesian crackwhore is nothing short of sickening.

Since the imageboard is back have you considered switching to weabot? I'm not a programmer so I don't know how good it actually is but it allows for both imageboards and textboards and has a few useful features that whatever version of Kareha we're currently using doesn't.

Just lazily slap a responsive width:100%; to the postform, ssz.

Nevermind, postforms use tables... It'll still work but the textarea is too small.

It gave me a major headache the last time I tried to look at it, and I might just have to modify the templates to get it right. I'll check it out tomorrow.

Probably not. If Wakaba ever becomes inadequate, I might consider it.

Done!

Some feedback on the Guide pages, though I don't know how many new users actually read them, let alone discover this website in the first place:

It might not hurt to explain what the "DQN" board is on the intro page (https://4-ch.net/guide/view/introduction). Something like "The mysteriously titled 'DQN' is an anything-goes board for comedy threads and casual social chatter in the vein of the famous 2channel board News4VIP. Its name comes from 'dokyun', a 2channel meme meaning approximately 'dumbass.'"

When I click on "Joining in" on https://4-ch.net/guide/view/introduction within the main page frame, my browser (latest Firefox) throws the console error "Blocked loading mixed active content “http://4-ch.net/guide/view/participate”."

https://4-ch.net/guide/view/participate links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sage_%28Internet%29 which doesn't exist.

https://4-ch.net/guide/view/history is kinda boring. It could mention that 4-ch was part of the iichan/wakachan network before it died, and possibly say something about the IAA board. (I'm not sure whether it was actually deliberate, but since IAA was never linked to from iichan, I got the impression it was originally a 'secret hangout' for elite 4-ch posters, which seems an interesting footnote at least.) Not sure any of the other removed boards are worth mentioning.

Also, possibly deliberate and not really a major issue, but Requests is linked twice on the sidebar, once at the top under General and once at the bottom.
