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 .

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.

(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?

>>192

lmfao

>>194 Yes!
>>192 No!
>>195 It's visible again! You're welcome!

>>196 What did you use these with? https://static.4-ch.net/images/front/circuit.jpg

1) Ask captcha every 10th post instead of every post
2) Add katalog to /img/
3) Add [last 50 posts] link for /img/ threads
4) Add uploader for various files.
and this site will be amazing.

>Any objections?

Any change that makes me feel more pressured for time isn't a change I'm going to welcome. I like it when threads stay alive for years.

Give me 2 weeks, there was a thread for one artist, I need to save that one.

>Expanded file support (mp3, webm)

No, make an actual file uploader, with zip and such. Just a list of files, with a "upload new one" form at the top. Copy japs with their web 1.0 approach. Main use of /img/ and /uploader/ should be hosting for the rest of text boards, and not their own things.

If permasaged thread is among first 10 threads, navigation elements
■ ▲ ▼ show up on top of the page instead of being over that thread.

Add a file uploader that accepts nothing but goatse's infamous hello.jpg. Store each uploaded goatse instance separately for maximum storage waste, since that's a bit funnier than storing it only once.

I think this would really satisfy >>200's desires. I don't see what other possible images our textboard posters could possibly want.

>>202
I already have https://4-ch.net/img/res/2664.html for image uploading, but I want to upload chiptunes sometimes, those have .mod and .it extensions, and sometimes something else. Uploading text files is another thing I want to do sometimes.

Do permasaged threads have a slightly thicker border on most stylesheets? I never noticed that until recently, so I was wondering if this was a change SSZ made. It's subtle, so I like it

Seriously, typing verification is too annoying, can something be done about that? Why I should prove the machine that I am a living human every day?

Catalog for the imageboard should be a default functionality

Addressing everyone by 3 digit number should be default functionality, yet look at imageboards

>>206 I disagree, I say deal with it

Well, I guess it's better to preserve this little museum as is than actually use it. If you think like that, yeah, better leave captcha.

Anyone wants to host a textboard?

Catbox is begging for money hard, you sure you don't want to make your own uploader?

This site looks weird on mobile phones, real 2ch actually updated itself to work better with those, but this site stays in its original form. Which isn't half bad for a museum it is. I'd probably be complaining about it being too modern right now if it actually changed anything.

Also I want to remove every white element from the default scheme, right now katalog, main page, and error messages all have blindingly white background. I want to change those to gray.

Board suggestion: Lies /lies/

>>211
Please lurk a while before posting, and I would strongly urge you not to put your (real-life?) contact information in the name/link fields unless it's really relevant to the post.

Board suggestion: spam /spam/

I've been thinking about a new logo for this site lately:

https://i.imgur.com/hHrY8pu.png
https://i.imgur.com/d8pelzq.png

What do you think?

It needs to contain "-" somewhere.

Vaguely reminds me of the w2ch (.org) logo... spooky...

Board suggestion:
Random - /random/

Ban suggestion:
Parker2328 - ID:YIhZgoiP

(At least until they stop posting AA outside the AA board)

I'm sorry.

I won't do that again.

Also i decided to start posting in the AA board from now on, also read the announcement:
https://4-ch.net/ascii/kareha.pl/1662232817/

>>217 I'm intrigued, what is it you'd like to discuss that doesn't belong anywhere else?

https://4-ch.net/general/kareha.pl/1662242201/3
Off-topic Botnet affiliate scam.

>>221
I've cleaned up some of your posts, and moved some of them into your new thread on /ascii/, hope that's fine with you.
I would strongly urge you to take some time to familiarize yourself with the board (i.e. not making tons of threads without replies), but other than that you're free to post.

Banned. Mandatory "lurk more", if you will.

Linking to his various profiles is taking it a little far, please don't do that.

To ssz: Can you please unban my ID:dWV+zeK/ I think it was on mistake

last thread by him

Anyone else experienced new posts not showing up in the thread immediately? I sometimes post something, open the thread again (by clicking on it from thread list on board main page, the /l50 link), and it doesn't show the post I just made. It only shows up when I refresh the page I just opened. I thought it was a caching issue, but all headers seem to be present.

Oh, and by the way, check out this vid.

Worst CAPTCHA Ever
tamago2474
This vid suggests that captcha isn't as good a defense as it once was. Also nigger warning, through he's pretty smart for a nigger.

Can you make it so <a>https://formatting.like.this/</a> would lead to actually functional links?
Also, <code>tag</code> removes whitespace at the beginning of the line, which makes it kinda useless.

pages when?

hopefully never

>>232
A brilliant suggestion, I must admit

>>232
unsubscribe

Remove the Google malware on the front page

Could you change the Tor forbidden block on Images to be on the post forms only so it can still be read similar to the textboards?

amber, buun, and tanasinn CSS:
These themes set 'font-style: normal;' for em, and to detrimental effect, I think, since the em tagged text is not differentiated from the surrounding text.
(Although in the case of amber it seems unintentional, as it does specify bold weight and there simply isn't one--browsers today aren't as enthusiastic about faking bold as much as I remember them being).

>>237
Well, the inevitable "ass outta myself" test had to come to mind not long after, of course.
After testing out a mysterious function called "zooming in", it does appear more as though the bold on the amber theme is working, but is simply too subtle to reasonably spot while zoomed out on my ludicrously high DPI display. Basically, it's a flaw in the Chromium logic of how to fake bold in a font that don't have it.
