/jp/ - Otaku Culture

As long as they don't ban clinical depression and jacking it I think we'll make it.

>>21764153
how come everyone is depressed?

This is so depressing. My power levels are too low to read the moon runes, what does it say?

It feels like 80% of the good old Internet collapsed in a mere few years

>>21764169
Modern life doesn't give you the brain chemicals you crave.

>>21764191
You came enough for now

>>21764191
The direct translation is "This is where we end this episode"
Basically it's "That's all, folks!"

>>21764195
I read in a book that the modern life style makes you depressed, like large hospitals, big cities... and consumerism... but I really like the otaku related merch...

>>21764207
Thank you.

>>21764195
The "good old internet" didn't have panda at all, everyone ran around with nine-part mediafire links and ghetto personal FTPs and all that horrible poverty fun.

>>21764216
>the modern life style makes you depressed, like large hospitals, big cities... and consumerism...
It really does.
There's nothing wrong with buying merch, it becomes an issue when you obsessively spend your money on it.

>>21764230
I want to go back to my home village, planting my vegitable, taking care of the house... can I live my otaku life there, I guess not.

>cartoon porn
Nah, we already have jav, dolls, and idols here

>>21764262
Jav doesn't go to the extremes I want.

>>21764140
We lost a bunch of old and rare scans and doujin games CG from the early 00's and 90's.
Not enough time, some of them are absolutley gone from the internet.
Even the comments are a record from other time
Alexandria is burning tonight.

>>21764262
Idolshitter retarded as always. Surprise, surprise.

>>21764262
>jav
Modern JAV is fucking safe vanilla trash. It doesn't have the redeeming factor of extreme fetishes that were common in 00s.

>>21764140
Wait, /h/ is shutting down?

>>21764345
yeah , you thought the /v/ faggots were bad?

>>21764351
I actually came here to laugh at triggered weebs, I'm just surprised a board is closing because of it

>>21764262
How 3D fags manage to live with themselves is beyond me.

>>21764362
What, really?

>>21764362
4chan is being shut down in a couple months too. Hiro is in the process of giving away all our data to special interest groups, so it'd be for the best if you left for an alternative as soon as possible.

>>21764394
Probably for the best

>>21764394
But I don’t want to live in the comments section of javlibrary :(

>>21764394
>>21764415
Anone noo ;_; don't leave me here please, you are my only friends.

>>21764394
proof or bullshit

did you guys manage to save all touhou comics?

>>21764229
The old internet had ehentai as just a webpage with a bunch of links to eromanga on it.
https://web.archive.org/web/20040630033834/http://e-hentai.net/main.html

Then there was this version
https://web.archive.org/web/20070509053805/http://e-hentai.org/

that's what happens when you keep posting those garbage ass trap / milf threads, that has absolutely no place on a hentai board

you deserve this

not to mention the fact that you couldn't even post loli which is the only good hentai genre thats left

Why do people like >>21764285 think there weren't already a dozen backups that literally just scraped the site and host the same content?

>>21764447
Does he need direct proof? Not that he is correct or anything but you would be foolish not to think that 4chan/4channel and other niches sites days are numbered if not theoretically gone already. The fact that this site is split and the ever increasing percentage of outsiders who mostly use other modern sites regularly already sign for things to come. 4chan and it's users is product of the older internet, which is slowly but surely becoming incompatible in these times (by those who operate modern sites and the users they bring up).
If you have been using the internet since the early days (or any extended period of time), you would know the ever increasing homogenization train of the internet by corporate/political/infrastructure to control/profit over the masses powers has been unstoppable.

>>21764613
seeing is believing anon, give us those sites

>>21764698
What I've learned from being on the internet since the early 90s is that sites never fucking die unless something dire happens

>>21764394
Time to revive Aya's shack.

>>21764394
I don't believe you.

>>21764806
they just rot away slowly till the admins decide to pull the trigger

At least there was a mad scramble to save all the stuff, but how much was even saved? It’s a sad day regardless because all of that shit might as well become lost art and history. Yes it’s porn and shit, but at the end of the day it’s still something people like us hold near and dear as a right hand man

>>21764229
Jesus fucking christ I'd forgotten multi-part downloads lmao. Man were those a pain

>>21764821
Not him, but it's all the buzz on 2chan (not futaba). Take my word and migrate somewhere else. cut your losses. This place sucks now anyways.

The universe is freeing you from the ties that keep you bound to the internet.

>>21764850
Stop turning me on, slut. Unless you want to become my personal cumdump.

>>21764850
I live in a third world shithole where people get shot in the streets regularly. What keeps me bound to the internet is the desire to not catch a bullet to the face.

>>21764262
Back in your containment thread

>>21764362
You are genuinely retarded, kill yourself

>>21764850
Yet the Internet is now “sterile” and clean of what made it the internet. Instead of finding some wacky and unusual websites back then, now you just get endless corporations using the internet for their business and shit. There’s no fun left because it’s being purged. The panda falling is one of those pillars. Once we go down, the internet now has endless vagabonds of shitposters wanting a home

>>21764888
Stop being underaged. Back in the day we made do with blogspot sites that got taken down every 4th month. Centralised hubs for all content of one type is extremely new.

>>21764901
/rs/ was very old though

>>21764901
No shit it is. Rebuild it back. We got sent back to the olden days for fucks sake

>>21764910
>/rs/
I'm still mad.

>>21764933
Cute anon

I never once visited sad panda. I couldn't care less about this shit.

>>21764942
You probably have a bf do you don't need lewd cartoons.

Someone told me that you can still see everything on e-h if you are a bronze star member or above, but I look up /h/ and they said you need a gold star for that.
Which one is true, or neither of them?

>>21764140
>Maybe things will be very diffrent from now on for otaku culture.
The soul of /jp/ died so long ago. How anyone like participating in this fucking pseudo-general discord like generals is fucking beyond me because they definitely never were /jp/ regulars

/f/ will soon be gone too.

>>21764972
I totally forget about that, damn.

>>21764970
Do you hate fun?

>>21764977
There isn't anything fun about this general filled /jp/

>>21764698

Essentially:
>>21764806
>>21764824

In fact, this is exactly how Sad Panda passed.

>>21764972
I believe HTML5 can at least save those flashes. But the board is fucked. It’s a damn shame if /f/ is wiped off just from the program dying in the next 5 months

>>21764207
Mostly correct, but
>The direct translation is "This is where we end this episode"

Unless you're going by context, there is no mention of an episode.
Directly, it just says "That's all for now," like you summarized.

>>21764994
You don't even enjoy interacting with your fellow /jp/sies?

>>21764933
By the time it closed, Rapidshare was no longer worth using. And we got /t/ in replacement.

>>21764972
>>21765008
Not sure if you're making the point, but much less on 4chan and more on Flash itself.

Just try to visit the main page of https://homestarrunner.com/ and see what happens.

This came out four years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0nuQ5o2DYU

>>21765026
I do, but the people in these generals aren't /jp/sies

>>21765026
Only if it's in a sexual way

>>21765051
Did you expect the same people to keep visiting the same website for 15 years or something?

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your admin with his gun
Crying like a vampire in the sun

>>21765063
I think /jp/ is the only board where that expectation has some legitimacy.

>>21765047
The board

Where to go to get cosplay whores like https://e-hentai.org/tag/chouzuki+maryou from now on?

>>21764972
>/f/
Damn, the 0x40Hues is one of the best things they did.
http://www.santa.moe/

>>21765063
The issue is for me is that /jp/ as a board is dead. It's just a means to host generals that won't fit on any other board. All the generals are basically self-contained chatrooms that might as well be discord servers. What is /jp/ even anymore

>>21765097
I know you're referring to /f/.

But if people cannot use it without forcing their browsers to use an unmaintained plugin, I think that justifies closing it down.

If you think otherwise, I sympathize, but having a career in SecOps, I've seen to many exploits through flash WHILE it's supposedly maintained to support leaving it out, CVEs and all, to power users.

All things come to pass.

>>21765106
nearest maccas

>>21765113
Touhou and shitposting.

>>21764972
But my history with /f/ will never disappear. In fact, here's 2GB of lolicatgirls I've collected since I was first introduced to 4chan where /f/ was my first board. https://www.mediafire.com/file/a5l4pvggwabu5ab/Flash.7z/file

I hate to do this, but do someone here happened to have saved ke-ta's artbooks ? Someone just asked me if I did, but I legit burned my given mil+ credits before I could.

>>21765146
Thanks, anon.

>>21765113
>The issue is for me is that /jp/ as a board is dead.
So what would make it alive? Daily doses? Niggy spam? Do you want threads for every Azure Lane and Fate girl? All you people ever do is whine and shitpost and never make any good threads to contribute.

>>21765116
You need to understand people have a right to not be secure if they don't want to. Sandboxie and antiviruses exist.

>>21764970
>>21764994
>>21765051
>>21765113
10000% agree this place has become so fugging sterile and soulless but it's the norm for anyone who joined in the last few years

>>21765215
I agree that they have the right.

Now, while you take steps to protect yourself, do you legitimately think that the majority of people who continue to browse /f/ will not just use an outdated browser or some cheap workaround, the lowest effort methods, to view the flash content?

>>21765198
going back to 2011-12 shitposting culture when the entire board would get nuked by the mod waking up at 5pm

those were the days

>>21765232
Do you think every flash there is loaded with virii and anyone will bother making more for a non supported format?

>>21765251
As lame as it may come off, both >>>/qa/ and >>>/bant/ still have that kind of fun.

I am not telling you to get out of /jp/ at all. I'm legitimately suggesting you at least give them a look over to see if it meets your fancy.

>>21765263
>Do you think every flash there is loaded with virii
Nope. I think almost all of them will be just fine.

>and anyone will bother making more for a non supported format?
Absolutely, I've seen it with my own eyes. If the payout is sufficiently promising, people will pursue it.

Now again, I ask you:
>>21765232
>do you legitimately think that the majority of people who continue to browse /f/ will not just use an outdated browser or some cheap workaround, the lowest effort methods, to view the flash content?

It's understandable to not care about those who don't take basic precautions when utilizing vulnerable plugins while you do, but that's not the question being posed.

>>21764362
Get out

>>21765272
They’re both frogposting hellholes, so no

>>21765251
But that was when ironic shitposting became big and turned /jp/ into shit.

>>21765301
Well if you want a yes or no, I think the answer is yes, because it's not mostly made up of /a/v/b/tards. Anyone who can install an older version of a browser and browses /f/ will be intelligent enough to protect themselves. The rest will be stuck with chrome or something and be unable to use /f/ at all. If you want to go pop a link to Last Measure 2020 edition or something into a flash and then track how many people get hit by it, go ahead.

>>21765338
Why do you think niggy spam is better than frog posting? Shart me knickers dasitmane don't even smoke crack isn't any less obnoxious, and the frogposters aren't even always posting frogs to be disruptive. Besides that shit eventually just devolved to cat posting and causing insane fake wars with the staff. Reminder that we can't even delete our own threads here anymore because people were deleting their threads to rile up people and make them think janitors were randomly deleting posts. Then there were the insane spammers that were like that otaku queen" spamming guy who would flood the board over and over because someone deleted some dumb thread of theirs or didn't like their shitty story.

>>21765251
So you're anti-social and want to completely disrupt any form of on topic discussion on /jp/.

>>21764613
Not even close, none of the scrapers grabbed image galleries like PIXIV, Patreon and Fantia dumps.

>>21765434
Sounds like you can just go get those things form the source or any booru.

>>21764828
There's a 90% chance everyone saved the same doujins so not everything even got saved

ytmnd died this year too

>>21764262
Who are you quoting?

>>21764850
im pretty sure an untethered anon with nothing more to lose is not something normalfags look forward to.

pretty much everything in the manga category has a backup on animebytes and panda.chaika.moe, so they're not lost. I really hope the doujins are safe though, they aren't allowed on animebytes and panda chaika doesn't seem to have any doujins either.

>>21765439
Japanese artists often go on deleting rampages of their stuff so a lot of the time a source doesn't exist. And patreon, u know what's up.

>>21764965
I can see everything on my favorites. Even henreader. I have a tri star but you probably just need a gold.

I deleted all my favorites when I first heard because I thought the database was in danger of being seized. Why? Why did I do that? I don't even like anything extreme. And my ISP probably knows how much of a pervert I am already.

>>21764140
I'll miss the UI, it was pretty helpful paired with some scripts.
Also I liked to fap on everything new shown in the gallery, I haven't missed an update for years.
Having to rely on another storage system that doesn't have the same order of releases is going to be annoying.
For now I'll use e-h + nhentai but I just hope someone makes sadpanda 2.0

>>21764140
who cares about the forced animation and pretentious shitty studio? Fuck kyoanus

>>21765645
A majority of the people in this thread, regardless of whether you do not.

>I deleted all my favorites when I first heard because I thought the database was in danger of being seized.
All of it is likely logged by the server in any case

Well fuck, the Netherlands sure picked a good time to take down exhentai considering how close the next unreal is getting released.

Is there a place where all the C96 stuff will be uploaded atleast? I know normal e-hentai will keep staying up until next year but all loli / shota stuff is gone forever from that site.

>>21765888
Theres probably going to be threads on /h/ for this, or some brave soul makes a new site for this crap. If anything

>>21765888
It's barely even been a day, someone will figure something out. Archival efforts are still partially going through with places where anons are dumping everything to sort through, and the potential 50TB folder that may or may not exist.

Considering context: "Thats all"

I.E. Goodbye. The image is from Non Non Biyori at the end of every episode.

Rollcall the stuf you got:

Isaku (Both DOS and Windows versions but one of them may be incomplete)
Shusaku
Kisaku (both game CGs and Artbook/guide)
Sei Shoujo Lakers 1,2,3 and Artbook
Ryouki no Ori 1 and 2 (Both Original and Remake)
Shoujo Senki Soul Eater
Only You (both versions, uncertain about how complete they are)
Trigger 2 [ZyX]

Just so you know, you can still download your exhentai favorites. Follow these steps:

1. Install Tampermonkey (it doesn't work with Violentmonkey) and get this userscript: https://sleazyfork.org/en/scripts/23406-sadpanda-save-export-all-favorites
2. Go to https://e-hentai.org/favorites.php and click the new "Load All Favorites" option that will appear on the top right, after Hentaiverse. Then press Start. If you have a lot of favorites, this will be a CPU and memory-intensive process.
3. Copy the generated log, filter out the text and get only the URLs, and replace e-hentai with exhentai. You can do this in a few seconds with a text editor like Notepad++, or if you don't know how to do it, post a pastebin and I'll do it for you.
4. Download and unzip this, execute it and paste the links: https://github.com/KurtBestor/Hitomi-Downloader-issues/releases/download/v2.6c/hitomi_downloader_GUI.zip

I recommend you to prioritize the older, more obscure stuff. This might stop working anytime so download it while you can.

>>21766303
a couple of the regulars started working on non flash versions but i dont know how far they got
wont you still be able to run flash anyway though?

>>21765338
You hate moderators and yet you complain about frogposting on loosely moderated boards? What's more is that people who share that sentiment will often too look down on aggressive self-moderation tactics like sliding and spam (board warfare) as being unable to take it easy. Make up your mind.

>>21765198
You should understand that those whining people doesn't want certain thread to exist or talk about preferred topics, but rather for certain groups of people/culture to disappear from here and have entire board to return to whatever their preferred time period, which can't be accomplished with making one or two threads alone.
Saying "just make the thread you want" won't change their mind.

>>21766616
Adobe is going to stop supporting the plugin and after that the popular web browsers will stop supporting it as well for security reasons. You will only be able to run the plugin in older/more obscure browsers and maybe Internet Explorer if Microsoft allows it. You can also run flash content in a standalone projector but some things do not run offline so that kinda sucks.

https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html

Since we're talking flash, swfchan isn't in any immediate danger, is it?

>>21766559
Hey anon. If you're still here, how do I remove the non-URL text in Notepad++ ? I have used the find and replace tool to replace 'e-hentai' with 'exhentai' already. Thanks in advance

>>21765251
why do the only people nostalgic for "old /jp/" choose the period over which the original culture was systematically exterminated by retards

>>21767569
it was fun and made me happy

>>21764140
Even Nyaa has been killed and it resurrected like the phoenix. Lots of contents from the Sadpanda was saved by anons and other users, so we can rebuild. It sounds incredibly memetic and retarded, but nothings really ever gone nowdays, so don't worry too much about it.

>>21764140

Please be quiet, Wriggle

>>21764140
I've been spoiled by e/ex. I can't imagine visiting any follow-up site that isn't basically a clone with the same depth, one stop convenience or categorization and tagging system.

>>21767390
>which can't be accomplished with making one or two threads alone.
That's why the thread creation timer was raised. It was just a handful of people spamming dumb shit all day. Thankfully it'll never return to that even when the spinoff-tards come back because one of their shit spinoffs went down.

/jp/'s actually slowly going to go back to having its original topics if /vg/ threads keep moving back here, but they'll all come back as their twisted general state instead of the former organic threads.

>>21767735
And thats the issue regardless: generals. They plague this site like the black death

>>21767758
Daily doses like flanfly are generals too though. The clubhouse mentality is what's bad, not reoccuring threads. /jp/'s problem is becoming one big general board anyway. Remember the saying /jp/ - my friends are here" whenever someone wouldn't go to the appropriate board for their topic?

>>21767869
Thats different. flanfly is a tradition

>>21767869
fanfly isn't a general, it's spam

>>21767735
It's still confuse me why there's Type-Moon general here even though at least old TM is /jp/ thing and I'll be glad if there are more TM threads.
Asked the people in it and they straight up saying they don't want to assimilate with /jp/ posters and prefer to stay confined just like in /vg/. Not that I have anything to convince them otherwise with /jp/'s current state.

I can't wait until 100% sterile and boring.

>>21768107
Tmg is for old cumudgeons who try to stay away from the current tm stuff namely fgo so they just take it easy on /jp/ to wax lyrical about the good old days.
/vg/ is for the gacha addicts who dont give a shit about non gacha tm stuff.
/a/ is the crossroads, where dumb fanbase shitflingging happens because both can't stand each other. Also waifu wars and powerlevel faggotry.

>>21768185
/vg/ is such a terrible place. I despise when I have to go there simply from how fucking autistic some of those gacha addicts are. I play gacha but not as religiously as said people

>>21768107
Because the posters there are just /vg/ immigrants. If I recall it originated when some faggot wanted a TM general to separate it from /fgog/ but it only somewhat succeeded when /fgog/ got too cancerous and /vg/ mods didn't give a fuck. I'd like /jp/ TM threads to return to the way it was before as well but like you said, I don't think I can say anything to convince these newfags.

>>21768185
In case you didn't know, the /vg/ thread actually originated from /a/. It's only when NA happened and /v/ invaded that it became really shitty.

These were uploaded quite a while ago with the lolicon tag and they are still up. You can find a lot more loli content on the site still so what was the point of the ex purge?

>>21768417
They're both low-power

>>21768431
There's been similar doujins with Iowa and Shimakaze being removed because Shimakaze had the lolicon tag.

>>21768445
Yes, because more people voted on the tag. It's still there if the tags don't have enough votes to trigger expunge, hence why the other poster said low power.

>>21768417
>Hammer
Eww.

>>21765883
Yep, impermanent beauty.

>>21767722
We took it for granted.
I hope something gets worked out or I’ll never be able to find new releases

>>21767608
Nyaa was simply a collection of torrents + a few pictures and text in descriptions. EX is 50 TB of images. Last i checked there was a dump of 40 000 torrent files from EX, and that was just 5 MB. In addition it was a whole lot easier to scrape Nyaa than it was to scrape EX. No shit Nyaa got revived almost instantly. All the data for that site could be gotten in minutes if you had a fast internet connection, and be put on a USB stick if you wanted to. On the other hand EX actively fought against being scraped, and you need to make a bloody data rack just to store one copy with no backups.

>>21768417
>You can find a lot more loli content on the site still so what was the point of the ex purge?
Everything is increasingly pointing that it was a hoax to drive up donations, only high tier donors can see ALL the exhentai content now.

>>21764285
Loveless?

>>21768511
This whole mod power and expunge/fjord bullshit is such an ass, part of me is glad that it's all gone.

All of this is making me feel really nostalgic. I used to enjoy imageboards much more in the past. Nowadays I just get mad at how annyoing everything is.

I can't remember which tags exactly (I think it was between "lang:english translated" and "lang:other"), but there was a huge tag war that day between the community and the vigilantes that lasted for hours. This being back in the day when tag rating values were public, so everybody that visited the gallery knew the score.

Press the ALT key and select only the URLs, like when making a rectangle in Paint. Then paste them into a new tab to ensure you copied them correctly.

>>21767437
>>21767541
Also, the downloader sometimes silently fails and downloads a corrupted 1 kb file instead of the image, in that case you have to redownload the gallery (right click -> restart).

To identify corrupted images, you can perform a search for "jpg" and "png" in the download directory and sort by size. 1 kb files are bad ones. It sucks but it's better than nothing.

>high tier donors can see ALL the exhentai content
Really? How much money do you have to throw their way to unlock it?

>>21769375
Some on /h/ say it's 20 bux and above.

Can't we just, like, burn down the internet? Or at least create another, more independent version of it? I don't know much about technology so maybe I'll talking out of my ass but like, something that would be hard to spot by the big corporations.

>>21769417
The problem is that if it's hard to spot for the big corps, then it's impossible to spot for the average user.

>>21769417
>something that would be hard to spot by the big corporations
Guess who is going to provide the technology necessary to run it?

>>21769384
>>21769375
I had sent .01 BTC to a wallet on the site years ago and just cashed it in, skipping Bronze and Silver and going straight to Gold.

I can confirm that Gold tier unlocks it, and I assume that Bronze unlocks it as well. If the latter is true, 20 bux.

>>21770514
Proofs
I think this is pixelized enough, but I can take a hint if you just delete the image.

So you can still see everything if you pay up?
Don't you find that suspicious or am I just being paranoid?

>>21770648
its suspicious, but if it keeps the servers running it works I guess

>>21770648
No, it's suspicious. Though I guess it depends on how long it stays like that and whether you'll still be able to pay to see in the future.
Seems like a perfect recipe for a mad NEET to report them to the authorities for hosting illegal content or not declaring payments or some shit though. If I can't have it then no one can type mentality. I guess it depends on how well they can deflect rumors in the next few months.

>>21770648
I guess the staff really need their shekels

>>21770648
Now you got me paranoid because now I'm thinking of what bakabt did.

>>21764273
What kind of extremes?

>>21769417
Not as long as you need to be physically connected. Maybe local area wireless or lan type deals but after that, you'd need to have some on-foot portion or be able to lay down lines. Anything else would be like running a pirate radio station or hijacking cable/satellite signals.

Besides no matter what you did, someone could just infiltrate it or tell about it to others. Corporations and law agencies are just made up of normal people after all. The best thing the internet could do is go back to the world wide web era. Sites linking to sites linking to rings of sites. None of this searching on google and then to the site stuff, just unlisted sites instead of search engines and centralized content collection sites.

>If I can't have it then no one can type mentality.
That's going to happen regardless of if people pay or don't pay. The Kiwi's are likely half the reason we're in this mess to begin with specifically because of that kind of mindset as they're too retarded to get past the panda.

>>21771693
So, uh, how long to download the 50TB backup of exhentai over HAM radio?

>>21771707
Kiwicucks are basically autistic manchildren who are even more lolcows than those who are laughing at. Imagine being an autistic fat bastard who jerks to wathever Chris-chan or Pamperchu does and thinking you have higher moral standards than anyone in the room.

>>21771792
Fun fact that the internet was tested on HAM radio before cable took place, we have the tech of putting a free p2p internet without cables and Internet providers, just an antenna at the roof of your house.

>>21771833
He has a point but is a phoneposter. Its like the 3/5ths compromise anyway

>>21771845
HAM radio can be an expensive hobby and many people live in places where they are not allowed to install an antenna. I wonder how many anons have their radio operator license.

But yeah, packet switching in radio channels sounds fun.

>>21772603
>and many people live in places where they are not allowed to install an antenna.

Its not suspicious at all. People who helped support the site get six more months to download whatever the hell they want. You smelly NEETs only got 12 hours. You should be thankful. The site runs at a loss anyway.

>>21773839
These are the sorts of people who would absolutely care enough to archive the fjords in their entirety, right? Gotta be. You don't support a site like this just to let it's collection die off over six whole months.
Right? Tell me I'm right, please.

>>21773849
I've been archiving stuff for years now. Only doujins and tankobons, I filter everything except doujin and manga. The panda is massive if i didn't filter it be a nightmare. But how do you except me to share terabytes worth of content? Mega?

>>21773849
Everything that was on that site still exists in the world. You just have to put in effort and look for it now. Stop being lazy.

>>21773915
Sharing it isn't important right now, getting it off the site is. Some replacement site will show up sooner or latter, but the books and art are irreplaceable once lost.

>>21773974
That is factually untrue.
And also not what I asked at all. I don't care about being able to access it, not yet, just that it's being saved.

>>21773839
>People who helped support the site get six more months to download whatever the hell they want.

Not quite, only donators.
I didn't get a Bronze star for serving 700 million files over H@H, which is definitely helping to support the site.

whats it say weebs?

>>21773991
What books and art? Pixi compilations? I used to and still filter everything except doujin and manga. What exactly do you want archived? I'm not wasting hard drive space on western, cosplay, or game cg. Game cg files are too big.

"That's all for now"

Literally all of it, anon. Nothing deserves to burn.
I'm not expecting you to do it all on your own. That'd be ridiculous.

>>21774142
'That's all folks'

So it means that you all just need to be more productive with your otaku hobbies anon! e.g Drawing, sculpting, coding games, creating music, anything's possible! Creating/doing something is much more satisfying after all

Also I think that most of /jp/ are at least in their 20s and not a newfag anymore so it's already time for you guys anyway to move up from being just a passive consumer to being an active participant. It isn't embarrassing to have weird hobbies as an adult but it is embarrassing to just be a passive consumer in any kind of hobbies as an adult in my opinion. You can still collect and hoard but you need to be active in your community too anon! Good luck!

>>21775316
That implies that this is the end.

Wow that 2007 ehentai make me realized how much I like 2000s era web forums. I just need a simple web to discuss/talk shit, not interactive/cramped/flashy/attention grabbing website like most web nowadays.

Have you ever heard of the looney tunes?

>>21775582
Most amateur creative works are garbage not worth sharing with wider audience. Its low memetic quality can be compared to low genetic quality, meaning it has no chance of being "passed on". Also, if it's embarassing to be a passive consumer of a hobby, then should every movie watcher become a movie director?

>>21766559
Thank you so much anon. I can't express my gratitude enough. It was good of you to even go through the effort of spoonfeeding step by step. I hope you have a good week.

You can literally just pay $20 to get a bronze account and you get full access to all the ex content.

This is so sketchy, it just feels like a last attempt for a cash grab before he just kills the site and runs off with all that money. I always hated that e-hentai was ran by a brony faggot.

>>21771810
4chan has no unity anymore. We are pretty powerless. Half of the entire site would be on their side. But I agree its sickening how pathetic those people are.

>>21776700
it just shows the state of this site anyway

>>21776700
4chan never had any unity in the first place.

>>21776713
I guess so. But the divide between the otaku/non-otaku populations is growing larger, I think. I don't know. Either way there's nothing we can do about assholes on the internet anymore. Just gotta ignore them and fap to lolis in the shadows. I just want to fap.

>>21776700
>Half of the entire site would be on their side

>>21776747
Nah, you should know that newfags are always the loudest. Especially 2016 tourists. The whole site was in panic mode. Even non related boards like /sp/ or /biz/ had "save anything from panda" threads before the purge.

>>21764195
It doesn't just feel this way. The WWW has become more centralized.

>>21776567
You're welcome. /jp/ is a magical place for me (even though these are not its best days) so it's only natural to try to help.

How many pages of english translated non h touhou doujins are we losing with panda?

>>21777366
dont think it

>>21777366
are non h doujins still tagged with lolicon? i saw a bunch of hirisakas stuff on there so I think a lot of it is safe until ehentai dies.

>>21777454
I dont know if its a rule for them to be but should any contain the naughty tags they'd be filtered.

>>21764394
This would - not joke - spark a renaissance in the Western imageboard user community. 4chan currently is the 20th century Ottoman Empire of the imageboard world.

>>21777366
>english translated
Who the fuck cares. Translations can be redone. Raws are what matter.

>>21777454
some were but not many, don't think there was any Hirasaka with that tag

>>21765063
yeah who would do that?

>>21778079
While I generally agree with you, there are some translated things that don't have an existing raw.

>>21767569
Because 4chan as they knew it has been systematically exterminated by new invaders, just as they exterminated 4chan as we knew it when they invaded. And how those of us who showed up for /b/ in 2005 exterminated 4chan as the originalfags knew it. 4chan, being a platform with zero barrier to entry and light moderation, will be subject to endless waves of invaders who will bring what ever changes they wish. We can only hope there is some discernible continuity.

>>21777548
So the result would be 21st century balkans and arab pissing matches? I guess early 4chan had its share of that with the something awful/gaia/ebaums/other chans/etc. rivalries.

>>21778114
how does he keep getting away with it?

>>21778079
>Translations can be redone.
Excellent joke.

>>21778899
I am confident that everything can be translated before the end of the universe. But seriously, I wonder how many man hours of translation work are in danger of being wiped out?

>>21778899
You can redo translations. You can't redo raws.

>>21778994
Yeah but it takes time and there's always competing demands for time. Is someone going to translate that thing from 2005 AGAIN when they've got a stack of stuff waiting to be translated now?

>>21779087
The principle of archiving the original work is more important. Nobody values the "artistic insight" of the translator. It's the original work people care about. I mean sure if the English one is there grab it too if you want, but raws should be the #1 priority.

There's also a decent chance that the thing translated way back in 2005 was done by some fucking retard and it should be redone anyway.

>>21779137
No question the raw is most important. But, artistic insight or not, people also value being able to read the damn thing. The whole problem will probably be kind of solved by machine translation as time goes on, but no machine in the foreseeable future will have the "artistic insight" you think you don't value but you do.

>>21779157
No one is saying that translated content should arbitrarily not be saved, just that the original is obviously a higher priority.
Also, it's a different issue but: anyone who cares enough about ero-manga to freak out on message boards about sadpanda's death should probably just learn Japanese.

>>21779157
>people also value being able to read the damn thing
I don't know if you know this, but Japanese can be read

>>21779188
So can a thousand other languages. Should I learn those too?

>>21779228
No because none of them make porn nearly as good.

Even if we can't get them retranslated, at least we could do rewrites.

>>21776114
Yes, I have.

Are you telling me that "That's All Folks" did not imply the end of that particular story in the episode?

>>21779437
But the Looney Tunes always came back next episode.
I'm sure sadpanda will bounce back in the same way a cartoon character comes back from the dead as if nothing happened the following week.

>>21778079
No reason not to grab it all. People on /h/ were telling me that its all been backed up already without showing anything to placate my worries but if donators were to get this shit for us don't see why we'd stop at anything other than lack of storage space.

>>21764140
How much of the rare non-h/misc stuff did they manage to salvage?

>>21765005
>In fact, this is exactly how Sad Panda passed.
What? No. The panda didn't die of apathy; it was killed.

>>21764970
>pseudo-general discord like generals
I haven't used Discord, but if it is like that, it is better than I imagined. I guess it depends on the generals you had in mind. What I didn't realize for a long time because I used to ignore the faster generals was that the quality varies a lot from one general to another.

For example, the vocaloid thread is slow, takes it easy most of the time and delivers original content (album rips). It has obvious newfags greentexting clumsily, but they don't cause problems, probably because they are there out of an actual love for vocaloid music. The Virtual Youtuber general is so fast and obnoxious I don't know how anyone can stand it. /tmg/ is neither here nor there. It is slow and dull most of the time with the occasional clever or impressively retarded moment, which when you think of it is appropriate for a Type-Moon general. The DJT is worse than you'd think. The best general I know I won't even name because it is barely hanging on, but it's a cozy place with a slow and steady stream of OC. I don't know about the 3DPD generals.

>EX is 50 TB of images.
You know, the average file size for a scanned manga page has grow 2, maybe 4 times since the last decade. Meanwhile, computer storage keeps growing. There will come a time, probably within the next 20 years, when storing the entirety of ExHentai will be a matter of buying a single dedicated hard drive. Even with limited bandwidth you will be able to download it all over the couple of months and then keep up with the updates. The landscape of media preservation (outside of video) will change radically then. We are already part of the way there. Archiving lossless music, or example, used to be a bigger deal.

>>21781929
Even video is getting there. Blu-ray quality 4K (not YouTube 4K) is good enough for cinemas and any normal screen. Higher resolutions will only matter for VR and other unconventional displays.

>>21770989
Maybe Starlink will be successful. With some competition it may launch an era of cheap satellite Internet with fairly good latency. It will be much harder to censor content when there are no cables and to switch to a different ISP requires you only to buy some prepaid gigabytes and readjust your antenna.

I don't think it would be that bad as long as alternate sites get significant traffic to run. I think bigger problem is a lot of people from normie web leaking into the less known sites. Most hobby specific forums I visit are quite different from 10 years ago, though the old forums are more resiliant than 4chan

I also don't understand why there're so many people on the net nowadays but useful info is often difficult to find. For example in my town if I check out the reviews of places on Google maps almost all would be filled with fake reviews

And even then I feel like some people are going to stumble upon it and we're going to see a huge can of worms open up as foreign news sites pump the public full of "JAPAN IS FULL OF PEDOPHILES?" and how japan openly sells it. And then by 2023 everyone will forget it ever happened.

as >>21784838 said all of the roms were removed. it did help to spur more people into trying to preserve games better and take it all a bit more seriously. and I hope sadpanda will do the same for not just doujin but other works too.

I'm sure there is way more old internet stuff that has shut down in recant years I'm forgetting as well...

>>21782097
It never got scanned, along with tkmiz's three other Flan doujinshi. However, "Flan Wants to Die" was peculiar in that — at some point in time, tkmiz themselves uploaded a raw of it to pixiv. This was shortly before tkmiz began their history of randomly deleting (all of) their uploaded works. It seemed that nobody had saved a copy of it.
Fast-forward some number of years: the GLT anime began to air. Somebody on /a/ posted a link to a Korean translation of the doujinshi. There's an Anon who saw that, had a physical copy of the doujinshi themselves, and decided to translate it to English.
