Here's a thread for posting any banners you've made and would like to see used on the site.

I've seen it in the banner rotation so I guess this can be resolved in the affirmative.

Basically, have it skip anything that's put inside the code BBcode. Spammers would never know to exploit that. I know making any change is difficult, but if it could be done, that would be great.

Time for some feedback.

Recently I noticed a change in the general vibe of /tc/. Overall I feel the style of posting started to drift away from the 'wall of text' route at a much faster pace than in the last couple of years (the change itself is hardly new I'd argue, it's just that it got a whole lot worse lately). Generally I think 'post stuff other people might like to see' is a good guideline to follow and one that most people seem to either forget about or ignore period nowadays. I think we have an influx of low effort posts that don't really contribute to the site in any way or form. Not every post can be a wall of text and even if it could I feel it wouldn't actually benefit the site - you've got to find the right balance. Some threads on /an/ will inevitably consist of nothing but 'cute things are cute' posts but that in it's own right is not wrong. What bothers me is the way it's conveyed.

While trying to figure out how to put this in words the term 'trigger happy' came to my mind. I don't really want to bring normie websites into this because I feel it'd discredit people sololy because I'd associate them with the wrong crowd but it reminds me of twitter. The general attitude seems to be shifting from 'post stuff other people might like to see' to 'post whatever you want to post [even if others either won't give a damn or will actually dislike the content]'. It's fast food style posting.

What imageboards become is generally decided by their end users and the content they post. If /tc/'s userbase is okay with what's happening lately then so be it I guess. I'm not really proposing adding any new rules or being stricter about moderation. If anything I'd like everybody to think this through for themselves and maybe practice some moderation. Perhaps most importantly of all though I wanted to voice my discontent to let some people who might feel the same way know that they aren't alone.

>I stopped because I didn't get much feedback.

I think it's the key factor that makes WoT posters give up at (and most likely leave) at some point. If the content you post affects the amount of people that will be willing to engage in some sort of discussion/conversation with you that it probably affects it negatively. You're likely to get better results by doing the opposite. WoT posters probably notice that and ask themselves 'why bother?'.

>Having said that I never felt like I was maintaining any sort of "quality of post".

Well yeah, you don't really think about it when you're typing out responses. It's more of a hindsight thing and something you notice by following discussions you didn't actively participate in.
>> No. 6909 [Edit]
You're not alone in your dislike of "fire and forget" posts. In fact the reason why I'm bumping this thread is because I've noticed recently that there is a particular uptick of short, vacuous posts (esp. on /ot/), and particularly egregious is that these end up bumping old threads.

Now I don't mind having old threads bumped, but bumping a several year old post with a less than 10-word reply is just low effort. This was not so much an issue in years past since the rate of such things was only on the order of once a month, but the recent distinct uptick has essentially flooded the frontpage of /ot/ with these vacuous posts, effecitvely burying any substantive content.

Like you, I won't be so presumptuous so as to suggest there should be a rule added about bumping year old posts with trivial replies, but I'd like to maybe resurface/reopen the thread for discussion to see what others think.

My opinion is that given the slow pace of TC, I think its SNR can be disrupted easily; even just a few extra vacuous posts likely end up dropping the SNR by orders of magnitude (compared to say the marginal SNR decrease of vacuous posts on a more active imageboard like 4chan).

Yeah, but it's been a few years since then. Maybe tohno is amendable on this issue, especially since it's been raised on the proper board this time.

I've been trying to embed a link on a post in >>>/navi/3111 (media formats thread) and every time I click reply I get sent to tohno-chan.com/board.php blank page. I am putting fIJdpViwRFY in the embed field. Also, there's an inconsistency between the faq and the help image. In the former the = sign is bold, in the latter the equal sign is not highlighted. I tried both as a result and neither worked.

If this is user error, then feel free to delete the thread or keep it around for future newfags to potentially post their errors in. Should it be resolved upon reply, then thanks in advanced.

Not tohno but I think embeds are probably just broken, I've basically never seen them used. And just posting a direct link is probably more friendly for those consuming on text-based readers.

Was going over old archives for TC since some of the IB4F stuff got saved, and here it is from the horse's mouth. Guess I never should have doubted anons.

Thank you for existing, tohno-chan.

The internet may change, friends may disappear and betray you, but the one constant has been that I can always come back here and see tohno-chan and know it hasn't changed, the band of misfits here will still be here and depressed and never getting better, just like me, even the threads and banners from a decade ago will still be here. And I thank you for keeping this site running tohno and mods/admins. You get next to nothing in return but from me, at least you receive my recognition.
>> No. 6879 [Edit]
Thanks, that means a lot.
It's no secret the internet has gone to crap. While there's more users than ever, it feels smaller than ever. Old homes are being destroyed or abandoned, with everyone packing in to the big name sites. Meanwhile, the sites that stuck around change both in appearance and style over and over, eventually turning into shadows of their former selfs.

Our software is buggy but still (mostly) works, The server costs haven't really changed in a decade, and for better or worse I'm always going to be a loser. Things are unlikely to change any time soon.

That was really weird. I became able to reply and was just about to post here to inform that, when I realized something was wrong. The posts didn't show up on the homepage and the chidori file was still inaccessible. But I could still access the thread and see the reply box, so I decided to go to /mp3/ and actually post there first to see if the reply would go through. Then i see the post is also gone from the homepage and the thread is no longer accessible. The same issues from the op persist. Wait, now it's gone. The threads are gone, but I can still access and listen to the alabaster track.

I suppose I should explain.
The OP of the koto thread deleted his own thread, but because of the board software and its funny bugs, the board index wasn't updated, thus a ghost thread was born. These kind of threads usually disappear when another thread is bumped. Then Tohno used some kind of black magic and resurrected the thread, but the audio file was broken nevertheless. He also made a test thread with alabaster song. Then he deleted both threads, but the bug made its appeareance again. I highly suspect the reason why you can still access the alabaster track is your browser's cache.

Kusaba shouldn't care, the http server (apache or nginx) is the one that handles the connection though? That said, there's no point in adding https and it's going to break compatibility with older devices. Let this place be one of the few remaining legacies of the old web.
>> No. 6888 [Edit]
>>6810
Many of the arguments made on both that website and the one it's referencing that's pro HTTPS everywhere are asinine and biased. It really doesn't have to be so black and white like this.
HTTP has a place in keeping websites accessible by legacy hardware and operating systems and is super important.
That said any website that has any potential for a security threat to me by not having HTTPS, for example by having an attacker inject a script through an insecure network, should at least serve the website in both HTTP and HTTPS. I should have a real choice as a user even when it makes sense for the default to be HTTP.
It's not reasonable, as that website suggests, to tell me to overthrow my whole country or revolutionize my society such that I ensure no one takes advantage of my connection when there is a simple and clear solution to prevent this specific issue. And nobody has a reasonably secure connection in the way suggested these days, all ISPs are untrustworthy, all governments are untrustworthy. I can't reasonably protect myself from those entities like that.
I'd love if everyone was kind and trustworthy but many people simply aren't. And I shouldn't have to be Stallman tier to access computing infrastructure reasonably safely either.
With that said, Kusaba, please give me as a user the option to interact with this website in a way I consider secure. HTTP should still be an option too.
>> No. 6889 [Edit]
>>6888
If that's an issue you can always tunnel your traffic over a secure channel.
>please give me as a user the option to interact with this website in a way I consider secure
You do have this option, as mentioned above. Sure it wouldn't hurt if TC _also_ offered an https option, but given the complexity of adding and maintaining this on their end especially given aging software, it's far easier for you take matters into your own hands if this is an issue that affects you.

I highly recommend using cloudflare's csam scanning tool to stop illegal images from appearing on your site. It also helps to block proxies as well. I think as an imageboard community we can stop this shit but we need to start taking measures to put an end to it. If you want to step away from your board for awhile don't leave posting open. It will get spammed. Just put it in read only until you come back.

And yes, I'm posting this on all the imageboards I find. No I'm not a bot.

What shit? Out of the 3 niche imageboards I visit, none have ever had any problem other than the usual link spam. Exactly what problem would be solved by this (other than increasing Cloudflare's market cap)?

Given that you're trying to advocate for the global mitm that is cloudflare, I'd say you're the one who's new. There are plenty of ways to deter posters that don't rely on glowie software.

Creating a separate thread to document this issue so >>6857 doesn't accuse me of being miserly.

If you see a server error when trying to post things, it's most likely related to WAF used by the shared hosting TC is running on. Supposedly this is out of the admin's control. It's also poorly implemented so it will sometimes trigger on random english words that just happen to be unix commands (e.g. touch). Also if you keep triggering it trying to edit your post to pass the WAF, it'll drop your packets. (I don't know if the block automatically expired after 12 hours or if Tohno manually fixed it; if the latter, thank you for doing so).

And another bug: the below text supposedly trips Kusaba's word-filter based autoban (text below rot13'd to itself avoid tripping it):

>fperrapnc V pna

I'm assuming it's a badly written regex matching on it. If one of the mods has access to the wordfilter list and can whip up a script to test against it, should be able to identify it pretty easily.
