In this thread you may discuss the current state of /bant/: request, concerns, suggestion, thoughts, complaints, compliments to the staff (boot-licking), and contain your drama faggotry here. Thank you.
I have one important request/suggestion/concern in regards to tripcodes: disable that fuggin' shite mang! I see it as cancer already (you know who and any potential attention whore losers). Glad to see avatarfagging kept at a minimal, and the flags are being used as intended to add a certain flare to each individual user. Beautiful sight, honest. As I see and seen it happen, tripcodes will only lead to thread derailment and resentment among users. I see it as redundant as well given the flag gimmick and capcodes being a thing. So the question is, why have tripcodes enabled?
Reduce thread amount on /bant/ to 25. Website is a little to slow to have more than 30 threads up. I am aleady noticing /bant/ tier thread posting of one liner, disposable garbage threads. Not that there is anything wrong with the occasional low-effort shtipost if it is accompanied with an image of substance, or as an imageboard "culture" insider joke (a little abstract with my explanation, but you try elaborating better).
I suggest either leaving the thread till it bumps off, deleting them to reduce to 25, or merge the threads.
Damn, you guys are really making wanna fondle your little imageboard here.
>>46 >>48 That'll be hard to look into, I figured a lot of 4chanx's features are broken when not on 4chan, but the amount of working features is pretty huge, so it's been worth it to roll with this status quo, and most people are like "WAOW!" >>47 On 4chad the threads per page are 15 while here it's 8, if I increase it to 15 it'll reduce the # of pages, but I felt it hurts discussion by making the index more overwhelming. What are your honest thoughts?
>>49 >On 4chad the threads per page are 15 Stop thinking like that. You are your own website, to model yourself like the competitor will be the selbst wrought end. Keep it at 8 and limit the pages at 25. PPH is moderate and the aforementioned low-effort thread production will absolutely kill interest as it will drown out thoughtful threads with activity. Think of it as a lurker, or reoccurring visiting user; Would you really stick around for a "one-liner thread." If it were me, I would forget the website if I see too much repetitive bot script scheduled shitpost horseshit, and go back to somewhere where I know the wait will be worth a reply, interaction.
Honestly, it is challenging to think in terms of a hybrid Index and Catalog user average. It is best to evaluate through quality community interaction; what does that mean? Idk, such a judmeeperent is determined by the rightful overseer of the domain.
I'll work on the mounting backlog soon I swear >>50 I agree with this then, I'll try to move a bunch of useless threads here until it's down to 25 pages, then make the limit I'll look into what archive system these types of sites go for, and I agree that long running threads are the most valuable, but one off threads that get like 10 replies then die are semi valuable and will always reoccur I would think
>>57 I think it's pretty visually offensive but I'll relent if another voice joins in on this... there are more firm existential things to wonder about, like how to get people here so that we don't die like bitches
>>62 Moving dead threads here overtime I think I can have it trimmed enough for 25 pages tomorrow Gentlemen should use webarchive or archive.ph to keep their favorite threads Thankfully most of the threads at the bottom of the log are mediocre
Oh way it was actually an mp4, I tried posting a song about Terry Davis and Malcome X but refused to load. But like you said that was a week ago so I forgot the details about that.
Is this website really meant to be touhou themed/focused? I have genuinely have no interest in touhou or anything related to it. I have been mostly using this place a a random board with optional international flags. Of course, it also has an "otoku" theme to it (emphasis on the quotation marks) which, I guess I fit in that category of user. I ask since, I really do not know how to advertise or appeal to new users to this website.
I am trying to not accumulate too much personal investment to this website, but, I really do hope to see it grow. 4nigger /bant/ is genuinely atrocious to the highest caliber. No plans of ever visiting that shithole again. Thus far, this place is 2x better than /bant/.
Keep in mind, I do not know how to word this without sounding like too much of chronic keyboard glued faggot, but I have come a really long way from all the little online communities I have been a part of over the years. These days, I cannot seem to ever sate that old community during my responsibility-free youthful days. On a positive reflection, users here are kinna pleasant to interact with, and on a negative passing note to keep the thoughts balanced; we can all agree we hope the community here rest in a peaceful slumber rather than painfully dying through cancer.
>>70 It's meant to be a random board populated by people who like touhou, rozen maiden, 07th expansion or dragon ball, and this pattern emerged because the fans of these subjects behave in an interesting and mentally stimulating manner, while most otaku altchans are just babble about FoTM moe and populated by boring fags, which is the differentiation between other places and ourselves I've deleted non-otaku spam but the board is topicless because when an intelligent person deviates from an otaku subject it's generally interesting
>>29(OP) >how to get people here so that we don't die like bitches You better act fast, because I already see it dissolving into autism, schizophrenia and incelcrap. From what I've seen, splinters on average have about 3 to 4 months before they become completely unusable.
>>72 There was a normalfag attack that lasted like a week when I started sharing the IB but it ended... I'm thinkin if this were a "too big for it's own good" site like the shart it would implode from drama while we're on the opposite end and are only threatened by the site dying in popularity
>>73 slow does = comfy tho. it's not nessecarily a bad thing. it's not /b/ which is a good thing because who would want to host a mirror of that degeneracy?
>>75 i can't tell you how to run your site, but if rapid growth is like the usual summerfag flood elsewhere; that's going to be a whole lot of new people who don't get it and mess things up for attention..
>>75 also is this place pony friendly? not me but if /qb/ was a litmus test than alot of people just don't have a shitposting board for that, just maybe not spam.
>>72 >I already see it dissolving into autism, schizophrenia and incelcrap. This is exactly what I am worried about. Although, schizophrenia a diagnosis turned adjective, insult; a vague term on the imageboard hemisphere at that. I do not want to point at fingers to create animosity among users, but I had hope those types would not fester here like a boil.
Issuing warnings is a good method to send a message to a user their comportment here is not considered appropriate to the website. Bans, however, are a precarious slope. Precarious in how it may create a precedent of censorship, not in "free-speech" terms, rather, a severe expulsion of a user. A ban will create tension among the administration and users.
I hope for a hands-off approach to moderation. For it to be effective, there needs to be more users. The whole "self-moderation" concept of an imageboard.
Buncha' theoretic. I just hope the best for this place. >>71 >touhou, rozen maiden, 07th expansion or dragon ball From your statement, I get the impression this place is a hobby sort of thing. Nothing wrong with that. A lot of little imageboards are like that nowadays. Glad to hear it is nothing serious (at least i hope not). > but the board is topicless because when an intelligent person deviates from an otaku subject it's generally interesting Thank you for the compliment ( i am kidding). This is the response I was hoping to hear.
The best way to grow is to sadly spam this shit every where. It either attracts good users or bad users. Which is why I have held off mentioning this place anywhere.
>>78 >summerfag flood DOESN'T EXIST. It happened to the shart because children like memes but that can't occur on the internet anymore due to centralization. The only things that can grow are always disgusting shit, I think I told the story on this IB before but I found an active 8chan board tagged with "Touhou" and I was very curious but it turns out that it was a board for gangstalking a cosplayer chick and they got kicked off of 4chan which is where the activity came from. It's the same as the shart becoming huge due to political controversy... as we can see the high T folk are oppressed and only degenerate behaviors create traffic in the modern internet >>79 It can probably be contained to that one ponies thread, I only see a reason to delete something if it's disrupting the neurotypical vibes, like skibidi toilet spam defacing the catalog
>>80 I think I'll stick to harassing /jp/ occasionally but it needs to be a nationalistic group effort since I exhausted my own ammo... 'cord bros, show your friends.
>>82 based and yes it's a good standout thread because it isn't being spammed. i have no hatred at all for ponies, just that people can occasionally be obnoxious about pushing it.
I'm gonna give up on the 25 page initiative because many core denizens like to make a lot of threads and others care about data preservation, I think a catty wipe would be demoralizing, and I believe some threads can come back from the dead after a few weeks once the right person notices them >>88 I hate to dump it on someone but sprokesam is an inevitability so I should really register a rizon channel and make janns there... they're kinda cucked and can only delete posts/files and spoiler though, what total bitches I'd pay a nigga crypto for that once push comes to shove but we're not there just yet, and GQRMNQY is reliably awake when I'm not for now
a few ideas: 1.) rebrand the website to something else later so we can distance ourselves from 4chan and come up with a more unique marketable name 2.) take over the role of iichan in the english imageboard sphere and make it the dominant otaku related media imageboard 3.) study the code of Futaba and add the thread pruning/popularity mechanics it has so it can get rid of one-liner threads and old threads so the board doesnt naturally stagnate like most yotsuba-derived imageboards.
i dont hold much of creating our own imageboard project, kohlnumbra and fchan seem to be the most promising pieces of software out there at the moment but they all miss the import of those features that make futaba boards so dynamic
ch*d makes me cringe to death, if every instance of ch*d weren't george i'd go to bed slightly more worried for the site's success If it were chireiden what would the suffix be, I'm thinkin chireiden.org I think if I program an autosage into vichan I can remake the futaba system from there, I don't know where to find in direct terms how it works though, I just know that threads get old and disappear automatically
so what kind of users are we even trying to bring in, i want to try and see if i can advertise the board somewhere but i need an idea of what and where to look i dont consider myself "high enough" on the totem pole to do stuff like this without input from the council or whatever
>>101 >so what kind of users are we even trying to bring in, Anyone who likes otaku culture, because not growing violently creates boredom and contraction, but I struggle to define what the valuable users here are like, the best I can do is "they're witty and they're not boring pieces of shit". The guy who advertised on /pol/ made a cute format for advertising, it's https://warosu.org/jp/thread/45341434 Good luck bruh, it's best to just advertise it as a touhou website and not overthink anything
>>102 ok i have my weekend busy but my sleep schedule is getting fixed so hopefully i have more time to do stuff instead of sleeping and waking up and going straight to work
>>100 I agree with the current filter if anything I would tyrannically filter all 'words like 'em 'log into their respective full word counterparts soley because I cannot understand what the fuck I am reading half the time and I refuse to learn soispeak but its fine as is desu
>>111 I considered that before the board existed so that I could assemble a superhuman squad of people who wanted the website to succeed but this board does that now I wonder if I should do the janitor application message that 4chan does and see what happens
maybe you should make it so that threads without a certain threshold of replies are pruned earlier, like on page 10, so that people are not discouraged as much from making new threads killing old ones
Sorry for blogposting, I like your website so far, the posts are much better than on /vt/. I want to ask some questions. Is this the imageboard where the /qa/ userbase is? I'm starting to get tired of nuteens who see pedos/discord everywhere and try to play moralfags while spamming tnd and gay porn on a website full of children. I'd like to know the average age of people who visit this site and if it's fine to make fun of 4cuck users, can I rarely post a 'jak or do you have a lee-esque reaction like moeshitters on 4cuck? I won't spam them I swear.
>>115 >Is this the imageboard where the /qa/ userbase is? A lot of people here used the /qa/ board but believe the lingo and memes should be moved on from, it doesn't have any relation to /qa/ beyond the distant relation to soiteens and the encounters with them at this point This site is probably averaging people between 19-25, but I mean, hololive is cringe okay? The people here already posts sois every now and then but because you have the hololive low IQ you'd probably be cringe... unfortunately in this world there are players and bitches and you're in the opposite camp
>>115 tons of here are /jp/sie touhou fags that hate hololive so you won't have much luck posting that you could still post other non touhou garbage doe
>>118 I don't watch holoslop thoughever, I guess posting rozen maiden is fine and I'm trying to get into 2hu, do I just play the games in release order or something like pic related?
>>119 Start with Touhou 6 and consider playing 1-5 later If you wanted to be super serious you could read the manga and music CDs chronologically as you play the games, that's what the image you posted is pretty much about
>>125 hah wow i thought bc died i was so sad i wouldn't be able to tell you to dieanymore,it kept giving me a failed to wrie error, seems all the post i did tried to make went through apparently just delayed
Ermmm the site's been dead by my standards for the past 2 days, but before that I could feel the hype wave falling off... All of this stuff reminds me of tf2cord in the past, but people are more interested in video games than imageboards, so I don't know if this website can escape cuck fate like tf2cord did I can imagine shelving the site for viewing only or accepting it being small and getting only a few posts daily I understand the website is very active all things considered, and I kept in mind that sparty died like a bitch a few times even after gway was deleted, but my gut tells me something is up I could be crazy and too pessimistic considering the site was way below this level of traffic a month ago yet people still came here and were interested but I require honest thoughts nonetheless
>>128 other /bant/ is also slow atm so it just might be the all around trend atm. last night i watched a thread sit in first spot for like, 10 minutes.
>>128 well posting was down for a bit no? so im assuming that what kinda nuked the average a bit we just need to advertise more, thats at it comes down to,we have a fair amount of people but few of them consistently post i will try later i have to work a 6 day week so i dont have a lot of free time my coworker got arrested or something haha also id imagine winter would result in more traffic because the sun leaves so soon and personally i find myself stuck inside more often, I mean SAD(seasonal depression) is a thing, even i get bummed when the day is over but its barely 5,so i kind of see people just doing the depressed sleep all day
>>133 I think people are unperceptive to advertising because most imageboard users are crabs in a bucket currently I usually post this on a few 4chan boards while I lie in bed Or sometimes I post the other one with https://gyate.net/imageboard
so someone posted their alt board on 4crap bant and it, if the posts are to be believed, got pizza what is certain is they got raided by the sharty and i made the mistake of going to the sharty and i fear i may have lost valuable brain cells the password authentication is still up yes?, while its probably the biggest wall to new users I think its unfortunately is for the best to prevent stuff like that from happening, they have still have 2 threads regarding this board but they are at the bottom of their raid catalog
>>137 For about 3 weeks the firewhale has been down, and more recently I made it so that the firewhale goes up when I'm usually asleep, so it's pretty much not there, it's just useful to stop raids without stopping people from posting here Soibitches are genuinely so underage and turd world that they can't raid anymore but there are people who would enjoy wiping the 'log and I don't want cheese so the whale goes up for about 6 hours I don't think it's a factor in the site's growth so there are no culprits unless the name is too stupid
>>134 >jpsies who don't switch have downs >/jp/ janitor will delete this thread this is le bad because now you're gonna look like a sussy baka if you advertise with this image on any other boards than /jp/ cob
>>138 >>139 This Post the project file so we can: (a) edit it to advertise this goon cave on other boards (b) doxx you using some random info your 'IMP puts in it
>>140 Here https://bantculture.com/shill.xcf I think it being translated into russian and polish would be useful, someone said it should be advertised on 2chan as well sometime, but I would probably be the one to find a japanese speaker to rewrite it The logo was posted somewhere on this board already but here are these too
I banned a lot of tor IPs, I wonder if OP can still post I might keep the sprokewall up for days in a row, from what I'm seeing every altchan indexed by bots is hit by spam in waves, and once you're tagged it can't be shaken
>>150 my back door method of getting in still works, but people wound have to know the lore behind this imageboard's origin to find it. thankfully not too many people pay attention to things like that.
>how do we stop kogastopia grinches from botting and raisinting up our server? their mods are legitimatly deranged snowmans i wouldn't want to interact with
>>Disable Sprays, potential for 'p niggas to CIU the server for people with those enabled. Might not be a problem legal-wise because sprays now get wiped from user cache automatically. If you think that 'p spam won't be a problem, take a simple look at how easy it is to bypass bans with a VPN + new steam account.
>>192 He's edgy so he comes and goes, but it's not the pissbaby kind of edgy, it's like he has ultra high standards and is slightly unhinged his philosophical teachings are that discussions and long running things are valuable while one off replies aren't, but one off replies are the modern standard, and I can see how different things are without him
>>193 yeah hes not the just fucking kill yourself kind of guy(haha imagine being that..) having been witness to the so called "glory" days of r/banters i saw that a healthy mix of the two worked best, we cant just all sit here and spout armchair philosophies or just go haha anime girls i think just not taking this too seriously is the way to go, but the managing and what not goes to you, currently i like this place yeah its dead at times but it beats the cesspool that is 4chan desu
This place feels blackpilled as hell without german thremboy and desuspic backing it up, damn The posts per day are high but the future isn't very clear to me
>>200 people move on desu, thats just how it is new ones come in, old ones go im still here after all these years because im kinda a misanthrope and i get more irritated than anything being around people like i love my family, they accept me for my flaws but i cannot be in the same house as them i literally bought a shed to live in outside i am incapable of having a big social life not that it bothers me of course i accepted this a long time ago point being regular healthy people will simply move on to better things, all we can do is hope they find what theyre looking for
>>201 the thremboy and I are blood but the spic coming and going was to be expected Worse comes to worst the website would be left up with LTS treatment and activity would remain in the draw thread and a little elsewhere 10k posts is a lot to be proud of so the website would look really cool even if it dies someday lastly I believe 3 or 4 people would continue sharing their drawings in the draw thread regardless of what happens so the bitter end wouldn't be too bad if we give up
>>203 well i dont like pornography dumps i absolutely respect the right to post it, provided its spoilered appropriately i actually enjoy getting mad on the internet because a certain spainard continues to post the nost horrendous shit ive ever seen, unexpected stuff is the spice of life of course this is just my not important opinion i still do see the point youre making
>>212 They went from 255px to 208, it fixed some posts being crunched as hell, and op thumbs are still 255, so the difference is kind of a feature Whalestickers next but I miss german troon spamming 🤪😭
>>214 >We may rebrand to "Chireiden" in the future. not a bad idea, it may be best to distance from r/banter, it was good for the initial gathering of users but now there is nothing really good to extract from there
>it's ogre >server is dead as hell froot promote it more >Why not just join the server even at 0 and wait for a bit >>0 players >unpinned >it's actually fucking over >... >What if we griefed banttf2 (/bant/'s team fortress server) with sniper bot and heavy spinbot?
>>238 If you clear your cache or wait an hour there's a hide menu, and in the options menu there's "Filter Spoilered Images" likes someone requested If the arrows are gay I can kill them but they make the site look more technologically competent I think
>>256 It's usually one guy replying to himself and it's pretty entertaining, it doesn't do any harm as long as most of their threads are auto' soishit was a bigger deal because they're obsessed with racebait and trans folks so most of what they say reduces the NT vibes
guys it says international / random but I never see any discussion or banter about nations only popularity stuff about the german and the iraqi so why does it still say international :gay:
>>327 the website became active enough for good threads to die really often so I removed the cap, the amount of threads per page was increased from 8 to 15 too
>>307 I realized most imageboard users are a poisoned well and that sanitizing the site in any manner is wasted effort since they're a dying breed of manchildren that will run away if they see a shitpost
you deleted a not confirmed nuenis, you just can't decide if a nuenis is a real nuenis if there's no 'enis showing, you have no proof and could be a nuessy and then you fucked up big time
when i sometimes click on the catalog button, the bnat tab freezes entirely and i have to close it and reopen it so it stops freezing. i'm on brave and i'm using 4chanx via violentmonkey
>>346 It's probably because 4chanx uses so much cpu, when spamming 4chan I would usually have to turn it off or risk freezing my pc I'll limit the pages to 50 again pretty soon
>>355 Aspirin would increase T and DHT in the long term by improving health and opposing estrogen but if you want to take something for DHT use Creatine since it's proven to increase DHT by over 50% and it has a long half life in the system
>>358 Also liver is cheap asf and you can fry a cutlet of it in butter then cover it in shitloads of salt (eating tons of salt is important basically) My DHT is being held in customs but it made me remember that creatine is controversial for increasing dht Beef has a lot of creatine but 5g of creatine is equivalent to 2.2 pounds of beef Also dumping salt on chocolate milk is kino
>>363 I haven't advertised it since sometime in February, I'm surprised the traffic didn't suffer more The amount of activity went down but the number of posters is very high compared to before, and the day with the most activity was 2 weeks ago, so the chances of the website going anywhere are low It suffers from not being advertised because it becomes more boring without new blood and controversy I'll advertise it when I stop doing personal stuff, I treat this site in a sink or swim manner though, other people should be posting it on 4chan (through an image)
I wound up doing this yesterday, it's a small advert (only jp, only desktop at the bottom to test the waters) so I can know what to expect later (desktop users all use adblockers duh) but it's promising and cheap, I think they'll run all the time a few weeks from now
>>379 It's no big deal, the site was always supposed to work by having touhou fans look at it and enter "hecatia", coincidentally, that banner advert was paused a while before the bot started, and I do shove every ip range of new posters into trumpflare
>>1127 Yotsuba is incredibly important to whatever this website is supposed to mean, but maybe german troon knows some secret brahmin css that other imageboards use
>>396 Yeah I started reducing them two days ago, when the site started to grow large good threads kept dying but now it's not any good, ideally the main board would prune inactive threads like Futaba but it's been very difficult to attempt programming that into Vichan, this video is outdated but funny >>1101
>>70 >>71 Very cultured posters. I can relate to >>70 quite a bit, as I also can't find something to replace that old community feel but I find this place amazing. Even though I've only been here for a few hours. However I am trying push forward to finding that community, regardless of my IRL responsibilities.
As for advertising, I came here from a matrix room. Sure, coming here like that might be akin to chatroom linking, but I was actively looking for fun spaces to gather around to. So advertise! just don't do it on turbo normie infested sites. I'm aware that the distinction between normies and fun posters is becoming very thin due to homogeneity, but if you mention this on a tailored blog or forum, you'll get the audience you need.
As for >>71 I second that what they say about all those specific weeb media. 4cuck jp isn't what it used to be, but it had a certain culture that general anime sites don't. Lots of interesting things can develop from that. And I'm also glad the board is focused on topics beyond that, otherwise things get too stale.
Mods and jannies May you please make a feature to pin threads on here? I don't want to make generals obviously, but I'd like to follow threads when they are active. Danke
>>416 It seems unwise to share it especially considering it's the age of people using AI for personal things It's just a simple php program that edits a file symlinked to a file read by Apache
another bot showed up mr ac it was german, russian or something i thinks i dont know it had to nuked instantly maybe expand filter to include specific words in other languages
>>419 They just retype it, they show up about 1/100th as much as I make trumpflare smaller in size, I'll just halve it again and they should be finished, originally the site would let in large subnets because of activity concerns and those are phased out almost
>>423 I originally got webarchive to work and was fine with archive.today not working since trumpflare was disabled for a long period of time, but because the cp bots tagged this place I left trumpflare on foreva and never patched this up I'll probably be able to fix webarchive today then try experimenting with archive.today later, the issue with archive.today is that they use so many different IPs
I sent emails to the archive sites asking for a hand instead of trying brute force, I remember seeing someone on a soycuck site ages ago complaining that the owners were blocking archive sites with their captcha and that they should just ask for IPs to whitelist, I hope it's actually that simple haha~
They said they use Opera's VPN service so I tried changing how trumpflare works instead and the archive sites are actually working now https://archive.ph/tn48u >>423 Yep we're back babe
>>437 It's because there's a third world russian guy who spams gay porn and scat but we have to put up with him because 60% of people find him super funny
why does the little popup when you hover over a quotelink end up behind the other replies in the thread when you using aya theme, please fix this its a very annyoing
would be so epic to have these functions without doing js voodoo. i basically stole the local-time.js (except for iso8601()) and webm-settings.js from chinny.
>>554 what about not having your ears raped every time you open a file with sound? also how is automating routine tasks underage or retarded, you're being luddite.
>>555 I've been vibe coding more than usual and will probably port vichan to a different stack so I can have the understanding I want, I'll listen to requests more often once I have that such as doing those for you
