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 .

Ah, nevermind. What I was observing was the following:
https://4-ch.net/dqn/kareha.pl/1610604190/500 links to post >>500
while https://4-ch.net/dqn/kareha.pl/1610604190/500/ links to the full thread, as do all other improperly formatted links.
Didn't notice that I had accidentally typed that final /, nor did I think it would have any effect.

wordfilter an empty comment field on /img/ to something funny and cool, like the "kitaaaaaaaaa!" kaomoji or "im gay and my dick is small" or something

>>99
Wakaba doesn't have wordfilters.

"im gay and my dick is small" sounds a little too on the nose, how about something in japanese?
does 僕はホモで、僕のちんこ小さいです sound correct, for any of the japanese experts on here?

Can you do something about the "black penis" spammer?

>>72 It was me actually, I said it as a little joke, I didn't expect or ask the post limit to be increased, but what a larf we all had <3

A small feature I would like to see added is animated .gifs playing in the thumbnail on /img/, without having to open them! Please and thank you if it's not too much trouble

Can we have the (next) DQN namefield AA be DQN-kun? (（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）)

>>100

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.

Although it is a bit juvenile. Reminds me of old 420chan.

it's a stock setting in both kareha and wakaba i think

>>106 DICKS EVERYWHERE! Haha, good times. SLAYER

>>106 /img/ is not exactly the place for high brow discussion, it's ok to be a bit juvenile. the "kitaaa" kaomoji blankpost wordfilter is from futaba, after all.

kill every thing

/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.

Is attempting to gate keep an internet forum the only bit of control you have in your life? We will do as we please, and you're more than welcome to keep crying about it.

We say an hero here but you probably don't know what that means because you're a little bitch still in diapers who likes shitty mainstream normalfag culture. Zoomers like you don't understand internet culture you destroy it now get the fuck out of here this place is for old people who miss the 90s and 2000s and before.

i literally dont even know how to use the internet, ive been on it for like a year and dont even bother trying to adapt to culture, i was born in 2006.

You must be trolling.

I'm going to have a fucking aneurysm.

old people should not be allowed on the internet.

>>132

Fuck off and an hero zoomer.

RIP /img/

If you're open to some sort of way to make BUUN unique, personally, I would use it if it didn't use the brick background image and instead let the background color be the default #C5AD99 (or perhaps something lighter like #ECA if that's too ugly).

CP spam is back

The site's let's encrypt cert has expired

>>138
Thanks for letting us know!

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.

Thank you for fixing the post-form, Mr. ssz, appreciate it.
I may be a slowpoke, but I noticed just now.

Disregard what I said. I just entered 4-ch on my mobile phone and the postform is too large for it to fit. It doesn't depend on CSS, as I just switched from Tanasinn to others and nothing changed.

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.

>>142,143
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.

>>140
Probably not. If Wakaba ever becomes inadequate, I might consider it.

>>137,138
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.

>'DQN' is an anything-goes board for comedy threads and casual social chatter in the vein of the famous 2channel board News4VIP

This isn't even corrent (was it ever?).

correct*. Fuck.

>>146-167
Well, it's not much of a sample size but https://archives.4-ch.net/general/kareha.pl/1140470773/ suggests DQN was viewed as a News4VIP equivalent back in 4-ch's early days.

Hello new admin :) I like to visit back here every year or so, and when I do, I like to check out my old posts that go back... 7 or 8 years? I noticed that there is no longer the "Nordic" board, and going to /nordic redirects me to /language
Was this removed recently, and if so, is there an archive for it?

>>149
Yes there is!
https://archives.4-ch.net/

>>145 et al
Fixed the http image and pointed the sage link to wiktionary. As for the introduction/history pages, I almost like how bare they are, but a rewrite might be in order for the future (at least something mentioning IIchan).
It might be interesting to have someone who was actually there for the very start of the site to verify some of the info, though (are any of those still around?).

(TOR posting is briefly down.)

(...and back again.)

Is there no archive for expired /img/ threads?

Hi admin, not directly related to the site, but I thought I'd bring this to your attention in case you don't regularly browse every board. It should be an easy request for you to fulfill.
https://4-ch.net/tech/kareha.pl/1617138606/
(I'm not OP of the linked thread, just trying to be helpful)

Can we have (（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) or some other single line form of DQN-kun as the default name on DQN?

>>156
No, the next face should be (￣ヘ￣)

Hear me out: Next one should NOT be a face.

>>158
A butt?

Super minor nitpick: consider adding width="600" height="439" to the main page image.

Next face will be a 10px <img>.

how about 😜?

Fun fact: The default names for /dqn/ weren't faces until May 29, 2006 or 1993-09-4654.

>>163
well, i have to confess that was funny

Any posts with text art formatting already show up in submona font on mobile, but how about making the entire boards of DQN and AA Bar use submona on mobile too? They use AA font everywhere on desktop anyways.
It'll help view character threads and posts that should have been made with text art formatting but weren't.

Erase and start fresh

Add Sexpcode / Lispmark to the site. Both were made by people in the textboard community (Cairnarvon and Archduke)

>>168
have sexp

Bring back 4chan BBS

(（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) is ugly, change it back.

(（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) is great, keep it

(（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) is ugly but perfectly represents DQN, keep it.

(（●）ﾄｪｪｪｲ（●）) said the N word.

Make the next face an image of me having sex

>>175
I highly doubt such a thing exists!

any progress on Long Term 1?

This is my feedbacks: Please delete troll posts instead of punishing OP by autosaging his thread.

>>179
Too much work for a shitty thread

• New front page image
• Added /hades/ as an alternative destination for threads too bad to keep on the boards (mostly "dead board???" ones)
• Picked header images for /iaa/ and /japan/ (tentatively). /games/ and /current/ are still open for submissions but I've cleaned up the notification messages for now

remove the search bar from the front page on 4-ch.net, it makes the site look like a static landing page and google is bad. the "join in" button could be a bit more obvious. quite happy about new management and its nice to see this place is looking good.

>>182
NO

you want to remove the soul of the page

>>183 google is about as soulless as it gets

If possible I'd like a non-Google search bar of some kind.

>>184
I think the idea behind keeping it is from the fact that it has been there since the middle of 2007, though not in the years before that. Back then Google wasn't as soulless (or at least not well known to be), it was just a basic search engine and it allowed some static Web 1.0 sites or DOS prone sites to get a search bar too by pushing the work onto Google.

>>185
This is a better idea than outright removal. Not only is the google search bar http which makes the search input public for pretty much every ISP you're routed through, it's also routed through google which is sad given the state of affairs in that company and how much data they collect.
If the search bar remains as is I'd like to at least request switching it from http to https so my browser doesn't alert me about how insecure it is, the google logo alone is enough of a reminder. Switching the form action url from http to https is enough, I tested it.

Bug: Going to Hades resets your theme on other boards, most likely I am guessing it saves it as your new theme on visit instead of just showing a temporary theme on that board, and then when you go back to another board that doesn't have the Hades theme it reverts to default.

Replace the /iaa/ banner with a cropped hikkikomori picture circa early 2000s. Either that or a cropped screenshot of an actual dial-up BBS from the 90s. Something classier than western drawn animu vaporwave plox.

>>182-186
Custom search might be cool in the long term, but it's not a priority for me right now. I've updated it to https in the meantime.

>>187 Done!
>>188 Done! (I think!)

delete ssz.4-ch.net

>>192
I always wondered where the other front page images went.
The crane is my favorite :)

Can the mittens on /dqn/ get a z-index so they appear above the threads?
