Talked it over with one of our mods. Sorry about that. They just wanted to be more strict about the no 3DPD stuff, which I can't say I blame them for. I've thought about deleting some of the hidden boards that might attract that stuff just to double down and be clear cut about it. We did come to an agreement though, that users are big boys who can handle themselves, If someone wants to follow random links, they do so at their own risk. Any 3dpd content behind external links isn't our problem, but linking to such things IS discouraged. Do it too much and we'll ban/delete as need be.

It was removed for awhile.

Changing the /tat/ sub-title. Nobody asked for it, yet evidently somebody convinced somebody to.

I could have sworn I saw it here, so I checked, and lo and behold...
>>6666
>Maybe just completely remove the mention of /pol/? Something like "For discussion of politics, religion, and other content not fitting the rest of the site". Subtitles don't need to be quippy or friendly to be effective and concise.

>>6741
Right, but why was that particular 'anon' heeded?

It doesn't even make any sense because nobody but one guy, in a single sentence, suggested changing something, just because, what?

Since the day I founded this site countless people have been telling me to nuke the feedback board. One after another they'd tell me it was nothing but trouble, a stressful to deal with den of bitterness and anger, of endless arguments and complaints where no one will ever be happy no matter how much you try to appease them.
>>6745 This is a perfect example of why I should have just listened to them and deleted the /fb/ board years ago.
On most sites out there the owners/admins don't really care what people say about the site. They might have forums or a hotline for users to vent on but they'll go mostly ignore while changes get put in place no one asked for. Remember when youtube let people vote on weather or not to implement the five star ratting to thumbs up and down? or when firefox quantum was rolled out and they asked firefox users if they were okay with all their extensions being broken? or when moot asked 4chan's opinion on pretty much any change to the site during his reign. I certainly don't. Facebook went on for years ignoring people's pleads to simply be able to delete their accounts, and even now it seems to have to message someone and wait 90 days for something as simple as that. I wanted users to have a voice, to know their opinions mattered and that I was listing and had their best interests in mind, only to get shit on for doing it.
Here I am making changes people directly asked for within days or hours of them asking for it, changes no one opposed. Then I get complaints about the format used to request those changes. The fuck difference does it make if someone requests something here or on our irc channel? That channel exists as a means for instant direct communication. If you don't like the IRC channel that's your own problem, not ours. It's not some exclusive club when you're invited and tell us to shove that invitation up our ass. Maybe you haven't noticed this board here? http://tohno-chan.com/irc/ . Do you also complain about not being allowed to vote on political issues because it means getting off your ass and going to a voting booth? We're not plotting the future of the site in

>/vn/ content will now go in /vg/. /mt/ content will go into /navi/. /日本/ has been removed, It's content shouldn't need more than a single thread on /ot/, /$/ likewise can be a single thread on /ot/. /txt/ will be removed as no one used it anyway. /lh/ will return to being a hidden board.
They're all just hidden though, will they all stay that way or is that just until threads get moved?. /日本/ been removed seems pointless now that /ot/ was renamed from "otaku tangents" to "off-topic". How can Japanese be off-topic (in its intended board form, I assume to promote it) when it's the source of almost everything else meant for this site?

>>6734
I am fairly certain it is temporary

>>6734
I'll change that, just haven't gotten around to it yet. The front page is quick and easy to change is all.

So you know, it's possible to get around the broken link issue with transferring threads from one board to another by copying over said threads manually. I've done it for http://tohno-chan.com/ot/res/31157.html and will do some more when I got the time. So yall don't have to worry about that.

the most recent post in the claim your waifu thread says "good taste."
and i got really angry and told him just about this "waifuism has nothing to do with taste, normie poser. true love for a character isn't something you develop a taste for like a genre of music or something. you either love or you don't."

>>6683

You have to develop taste for anime though, normal people may recognize they are attractive compared to something like cartoons for example but will never fall in love with them like they do with real women, also insulting is forbidden on may in general.

>>6684
so in order to have a waifu you have to not only like anime but have good taste in it? you are dumb

Bloody yanks, always killing people with some sort of intellect.
All men are equal, and if there are some better than others, kill them so that all men remain equal. Pol Pot did the same thing.

Heaven forbid the Founding Fathers weren't some sort of divine beings sent from the stars and their precious constitution not the Commandments of God.

Must be sad being this narcissistic.

>>6677
First of all, if you're going to insult somebody the least you could do is put in the number of the post you're responding to.
Secondly, you're kind of violating rule 11.
Third, would it kill you to contribute to the topic this thread is about?

Locking this thread. User who was banned two times in here, try to maintain some decent quality posts in other boards.

Maybe this?

If there's copyrighted material on /fb/, please report it. I don't have time to individually check each item there.

Piracy is against the rules due to violating US law.

Edit: I should clarify. Discussions of piracy is OK, but suggesting that users break the law (ie pirate copyrighted materials) is not OK, and providing links to pirated materials is not OK either.

This could be it. Rule of thumb is: Could this give Tohno extra work? If the answer is "yes" then don't do it.
>But then there appears to be copyrighted stuff on /ddl/.
Indeed, and that board is getting a hard look over the next few days.

I don't mind it as someone who sails the seas myself from time to time. I can't say the same for our mods however. That said It's one thing to take part in that stuff one's self, it's another to get a website involved in it. So while it's annoying as fug browsing sites where staff are anal about piracy and delete links to just about everything, I reluctantly understand why it's done. I don't believe there's any law saying you can't talk about piracy, but linking to or posting things that are copy written is unfortunately something we can't allow and yeah is covered under that US law rule.

Like >>6621 said I've been considering axing /ddl/ for a bit now. The board seems to only be used by 1-2 people who upload PDFs of books and as far as I can guess they don't seem to use the rest of the site much if at all. I've gotten a few CDs about content on that board over the years too. Usually I'd delete whatever file I get messaged about on the spot, but since no one uses the board for weeb shit it felt pointless to keep it and risk more problems. I was however convinced to just purge the books instead of the board. So I figure we'll give those guys till the end of the month to gather there stuff and find somewhere else to host it.

It would appear that even beyond HTTPS tohno-chan has quite a few technical issues. For one, it runs on Kusaba X, which is quite prone to spam. Although you may have modified it with preventative measures, and you may take regular backups. As far as that goes, I am unaware.

You seem to be using FTP to manage the uploading and management of your software, rather than a version control system like Git or Subversion. For keeping track of mistakes you make, upgrading software, and other things, this will make your life harder (Not that Kusaba X has been updated in quite a while anyway...)

In regards to Kusaba X, it is very old software, and PHP7+ and even recent versions of PHP5 are incompatible with it. Eventually the operating system that the server runs on will stop being updated - Naturally you would want to upgrade to the newest version, to ensure that your server is exploit free and secure. But you will find that you cannot do so because your operating system doesn't have such an old version of PHP in its repositories. This will lead to you either migrating software (something that I highly recommend doing) or you will be left behind on (eventually, very) insecure software. Kusaba X has many private exploits of varying degree; a good example of a public one was developed by savetheinternet: You can view it here: https://github.com/savetheinternet/kusabax-idcrack

This particular exploit can reverse a Kusaba X poster-ID into ~221 possible IP addresses. With some more filtering, we could very likely find a poster's regular IP address using this. Another exploit is apparently SQL injection, which lead to a site that will not be named getting all of its IP addresses dumped.

KusabaX is called KushitbaX in administrator circles for a reason.

If you decide to upgrade the software and hopefully your operating system (I'm sure it's quite old) I can suggest to the administrator vichan, which is slowly dying in development but it's much more modern and is PHP7 compatible, or LynxChan which is in active development but the frontend (what the user sees) is... somewhat ugly. The developer of LynxChan may be willing to work with you on that, though.

I'm aware of the php update issue, and that it could mean the death of this site.
I actually did try out LynxChan and yeah had help from it's devs, but found it to be a needlessly convoluted pain in the ass to even get running, and like you said it was butt ugly with a horrible mod panel. I don't think I've messed around with vichan though, that might be something worth looking into. I'm no programmer and offered to compensate people for their help but that obviously hasn't gotten me anywhere. If I could I'd let this place go the way of SpaceJam and remain unchanged for decades, but I doubt that'll fly with a site like this.


>>6597
I vaguely recall something like that, but I think we might still be out of date all the same.

>>6608
I could help you move to vichan sometime if you want... It's still maintained so it should be somewhat stable for the foreseeable future, and it's PHP7 compatible. There is also a script you can use to move from Kusaba X to it. I've used it before, and it works well enough. The most difficult thing to actually port would be the stylesheets and the frontpage.

>>6610
Upgrading the PHP version is not the same as upgrading the PHP software which powers the site. The PHP version is basically an interpreter for instructions, you need the latest version of the instructors to work on the latest version of the interpreter. The instructions of Kusaba X are very old.

So yeah, we're on PHP 5.6 at the moment. Word is we might not be forced to update till 2019. I'm not necessarily opposed to overhauling the site, but it does seem redundant. The same people who complain about KusabaX would likely complain about whatever we switch to anyway.
