How do you tell which posts are 2ch or 5ch originals?

>>44870061
>This feels like theft.
Theoretically, it depends on what's in the contract. If you buy a business, you probably agreed that every asset belongs to you, including accounts.
In practice, the domains belong to the company because good luck going to court against a gambling company you sold your meme sites to.

>>44870203
I wonder if they would need to go to different courts depending on the domain TLD? for example the .fi would be under Finnish jurisdiction and the .com under American? I don't know, but wondering

>>44870203
This poor Finn probably has no real life experience with sociopaths and/or psychopaths. His Nordic sensibilities probably can't comprehend such scum can exist. He's learning the hard way that demons in the flesh exist.

>>44870266
seems to be a common problem with Sweden too, a bit of naive innocence

>>44870242
No. You can rent domains from a domain registrar like porkbun or namecheap. When a domain "belongs to you," it means you have the right to renew your rental every year. .com domains are not American, it's a generic top level domain originally meaning "commercial" and you can buy them from every registrar. Many Japanese websites use .com as well, while in some countries it's customary to use the country-specific domain (which would be .us in America). .fi is different, I think you can probably only rent those from Finnish registrars (there may be country-specific rules regarding these). But none of this changes the question of who the domains belong to. I have no idea where they would have to go to court for this, probably Finland but I don't know much about law.
A good domain name is very valuable, so it's a shame he lost them.

>>44870266
to be fair the online casino people IIRC are all Finns as well. The company being in Malta and Gibraltar is because in Finland private gambling stuff is illegal and state has the rights to it, so they do this thing where they move to Malta and as long as the servers are there they cant do anything. They are in the EU so the Finnish state restricting their citizens access to these legally Maltese online casinos would breach fundamental rights in the EU

>>44870336
and the site itself is under Maltese and Finnish jurisdiction. Breaking Finnish or Maltese laws there is no go.

>>44870336
>They are in the EU so the Finnish state restricting their citizens access to these legally Maltese online casinos would breach fundamental rights in the EU
No, blocking foreign gambling sites is common practice in the EU. I suppose these online casinos don't specifically target Finnish people, they are just operated by Finnish people in Malta. Just a couple EU citizens doing business in another EU country.

Speaking of domains, what ever happened to the original 2ch.net domain? Who owns that?

>>44870366
In fact, when you have a website, you don't want people where laws are problematic to access your site, so you can block them yourself. This is what 5ch used to do with EU countries because they are not going to dance around vague meme laws from meme countries they have no business in. I wish Yahoo unblocked Europe too.

>>44870380
Yahoo has EU blocked? why?

>>44870366
Hmm...I checked and the Finnish law doesnt prohibit playing in these online casinos so therefore they cannot do anything as long as its legally Maltese. I do know that sometimes websites that are based in some EU country but actually targeted for others do get the same treatmeant as they would be in Finland but I think this is case by case thing.
>>44870388
I think its the GDPR thing. Nips dont give a fuck

>>44870388
Yes. Chiebukuro too.
Because GDPR is so vague and restrictive it's practically impossible to comply with. When you're a big site that operates in Europe, you have an army of lawyers specializing in that shit, but such an investment is not justified for a Japanese site with practically zero useful EU users. It is pretty grim really, an amateur isn't really able to operate a site with confidence because the rules are very broad and strict.

>>44870399
Right, playing may be legal though you need to use a VPN if they're blocked and pay taxes if you generate profit.
At any rate, I don't think the guy will go to court with this company. This is why you have to account for all cases and ensure you're legally covered, especially when you do business with gambling companies.

>>44870451
it should be up to the EU to block the sites, not the sites having to block EU

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

>>44871636
They would have to block almost every website.
The whole idea is absurd as this is not how laws work. When you're in another country, this shit doesn't actually apply to you, but they claim it does. So they practically bully sites into blocking the EU.

I couldn't find a source for him selling the information now.

>>44877832
I don't think he was selling the credit card info per se, but possibly all the metadata he could--which is what most websites of that size do. The credit payment info was "just" leaked, and it was obviously compromising information.

I find him entertaining in a twisted typical chan-user kind of way

An interesting thing about the boards where posts from foreign IPs are allowed is that they don't let you use Japanese characters in your posts.

>>44880393
Is this just for the embassy boards or does it apply in the English learning boards too?

>>44883244
I wanted to test it out for you, but the DDoS of 5ch is brutal. It's hard to load threads let alone try to post in them. Cloudflare timed out when I tried to post in:

Is 2ch recovering any traffic due to the DDoS campaign on 5ch?

It does not apply to the English learning boards. You're allowed to type in Japanese as well as English there.

Sometimes the last threads in its catalog had their last post only 2 hours ago, while in /jp/ it's not uncommon for threads to stay half a day without posts.
When they tried to make a thread in /bant/ it lasted a lot more, even as they gave up on bumping after the first three posts.

can anyone tell me what "Bernd" means? I hear it all the time on kohlchan and wondered

>>44870144
what posts are you referring to?

>>44870144
At the beginning of the 2ch split, hiroyuki was scraping 2ch.net (which later became 5ch.net) and putting content into 2ch.sc. I don't think that's happening anymore though.
https://echo-news.net/en/japans-biggest-site-2channel-cyber-attacked-by-hiroyuki
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/2ch_Chronicle#2014:_2ch.net_Domain_Repossession

>>44936881
I think it still happens.
Random recent thread:
https://maguro.2ch.sc/test/read.cgi/poverty/1697065013/
https://greta.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/poverty/1697065013/

>>44937160
someone should make an "all in one" board that scrapes all the big boards and puts them in one spot

>>44937160
Interesting.
I came across an example where the threads are the same until post 111 where an off-topic post was inserted from the 2ch side.
http://nozomi.2ch.sc/test/read.cgi/ana/1693716985/
https://medaka.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/ana/1693716985/
Scroll to post 110 on both to see that they have the same content on both sides, and then look at post 111.

On the 2ch side, it seems like the poster ID has a ".net" appended to it if the post was scraped from 5ch. Note that the poster ID for post 111 on the 2ch side doesn't have ".net" at the end of it.

>>44938981
Pretty cool, I didn't know this was how it worked. I wonder how this works with the 1000 res limit and the file size limit

>>44943340
>file size limit
What's this?

>>44943756
2ch/5ch scripts store each thread in a dat file, which is like a CSV file but with <> instead of commas. When the size of the dat file reaches 512kb, the thread is closed.

>>44943845
Oh wow that's so weird. So if people just write a lot the thread can die/be locked before getting to limit?
Why do they still do this, to keep the number of threads manageable?

>>44943845
what is the maximum post size?

>>44878164
his channel hits too close to home sometimes

>>44943845
>When the size of the dat file reaches 512kb, the thread is closed.
Do you have an example a thread where this happened?

>>44947576
>So if people just write a lot the thread can die/be locked before getting to limit?
That's the idea. It isn't closed like when you reach 1000 replies, but it should give you an error message when you try to post in it, I don't know how or when it gets cleared out. This is what the docs say anyway. There are threads with more than 512kb though, so I think it varies by board (the limit on aasaloon seems to be around 1mb) and/or has been changed. If you check the size of dat files on most boards, almost all of them will be less than 512kb, so I suppose they still do this.
I think it discourages meaningless AA and >> spam.
>>44947592
>maximum post size
Usually 2048 bytes, it's defined in the setting file. This gives you 1024 Japanese characters (2 bytes/char) or 2048 Latin characters (1 byte/char).

>>44943845
not using a database??? Wtf

>>44953893
higher speed then I guess

>>44956021
you mean for the dat files? I'm not sure how they're handling the files, but using a database could easily be faster - among other advantages. I guess either works so meh

>>44953893
Yep, it's flat files. Gives you some ideas as to why it shits itself on the regular I guess.
>>44956182
Flat files are very fast to serve but when you write into them, there are just so many things that can go wrong I wouldn't bother. You can use a database like MySQL to store your master data (like Futaba-style scripts) so your system is durable and consistent, and you have a lot of options for caching, like you can generate flat files, or use another, faster database, or you can use slaves on multiple servers, etc., so that reads don't bog down your master.

https://learnjapanese.moe/2ch/

>>44956258
If I were in a situation where there were multiple writers (posters) trying to write to the same physical file (or thread), I'd implement some kind of queue system to hold the posts while a separate writing process writes the posts one at a time. My concern would be to maintain high write throughput without having to worry about locking the file due to the possibility of multiple writing processes. (This is mostly for the benefit of fast threads).

I wonder how they actually do it though. Is the source for their read.cgi available anywhere?

>>44956554
That's really informative.

>>44870108
phew, still page 2, that's cool - i'm used to /a/ where the threads get to page 10 in like 20 minutes

bump before sleeping, not allowing one of the most interesting threads in a while to die

>>44957107
>Is the source for their read.cgi available anywhere?
A long time ago in 2001, when server costs were getting too high, the community took it upon themselves to rewrite it to make it dramatically more efficient and keep the site online.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m3wuPiWCM8

I'd love to see a record of their work if it's available anywhere.

their boards kinda suck, you can't even post images without a link

>>44959594
that's because they're textboards and not imageboards
If you're looking for Japanese imageboards go to Futaba.

>>44959617
なるほど

>>44957107
Once you need to write into more than one file, it becomes non-trivial and you have to implement measures to avoid race conditions, and it may still get messed up if there's a power outage or something, so I would just use a database.
There are copies of read.cgi out there (it's in C), but I'm not what was written by who. Anyway, writes are hot handled by that but bbs.cgi (there's an old leak).

>>44959594
those are painful to browse

>>44956554
>実況 on 2ch/5ch refers to discussing an event or something while it is happening. This has often been frowned upon by 2ch/5ch users, therefore most boards disallow 実況'ing by default. Boards that do allow it, have 実況 in the name or 実況OK/実況可 written in the rules)
I really dont get this either. How could anyone enforce this?

>>44974570
this might surprise you, but moderation can enforce rules if they are active enough. Users too can self-moderate the board to a certain point.
As for why these rules, I'd assume it's some autistic obsession with spoiling. Though someone else can come with a better explanation.

>>44974521
japanese autism, and a complete refusal to upgrade and enhance their infrastructure. retard tier behaviour

>>44974701
Why yes, using what just works instead of upgrading to Discord with phone, selfie, credit card, driver's license, and semen sample verification is, indeed, retarded

>>44974882
>trying this hard to make it sound like they have a good infrastructure
holy retard batman.
their websites are broken, incomplete, inaccesible, obscured. denying this is denying an obvious reality.
you could have thought "yeah maybe a 4chan-style webpage would work better, not forcing to use specialized programs and be more flexible" but no, you went to the extreme and assumed the worst.

You're the dumbest gorilla in this part of the internet.

>>44974621
nono I mean...where the hell do you draw the line? What is something that is happening and not happening?

>>44974901
I don't know what your issue is, I never said the infrastructure wasn't garbage. You don't need a dedicated program to use the website. It's just like with 4chan, it mostly looks and works the way it always did but you can add extra functionality with browsers and extensions if you want to. This is preferable to how western sites compulsively make the design worse and worse every year.

>>44974882
Japanese do use discord though. Its just sometimes they step in to their homemarket stuff and it usually is just total crap and I truly wonder if they themselves realize it.

>>44975009
Yes but they don't really use Reddit, for instance. I'd much rather use a 20 year old website with 20 year old design than Reddit.

>>44975030
it would be one thing if it was just old design and not just broken. The site doesnt have consistent design, it switches from like 3 different eras

>>44974926
well, something that is currently happening can't be discussed. Think like this: live broadcasts, ongoing events, daily news, etc.
Once an event is over, then people start mentioning it. Obviously it might be difficult to draw the lines sometimes; however, there are some similar rules even for boards in 4chan like /his/ and /int/, so it doesn't seem like something that hard to define.

Are there addons to make these sites tolerable? This shit is miles worse than vanilla 4ch

>>44975307

funny how some boards (even bigger ones) seem to janny in waves, there will be no moderation for a couple of days it seems, then all of the sudden extreme moderation for a day or two, then it repeats.

Is it related to the general 5ch outages we were having recently?
don't think they care about the embassy boards but I would be sad if they're gone. I like using a textboard and there's simply no way I'm using 4ch

>>45153637
someone said before they were fixing the infrastructure and would be ready by early next year

have you guys found a good iPhone app to use for browsing multiple chans?

>>45126206
have you ever tried the residential proxy thing? I'm wondering how smooth it is to use for all one's browsing, as vpns are getting more painful to use when so many sites try to block you or think you are a bot

>>45125988
What was it?

>>45169667
by using extremely long names with characters that occupy more than one space after they're encoded together with a tripcode, you could break the native expansion and threads. Quick replies would disappear, the refresh button would disappear, replies would disappear, flags in /int/ could disappear and IDs in /pol/ could change colors. It was fixed early in the morning of the next day.

>>45173990
how annoying that must have been

>>45165073
I have not.
My desire to shitpoast internationally hasn't been strong enough yet.

>>45175497
I just like anonymity as a general principle and like to run through a vpn all the time on my phone, I wish more regular people did what we could to fight back against all the data collectors and evil corps like Google and Microsoft

Someone announced 3chan was back sometime ago but didn't provide a link. Well, here it is

Nope.

>>45192760
Well? What is it?

>>45192760
Password-protected site? What the heck
Anyway, as it is a /bant/ spinoff I wouldn't expect much from it. Few boards are as disappointing as /bant/

>>45192760
What's the password?

>>45194573
It's hinamizawa

Perhaps the need for a new website was fueled by unsuccess? Take a leap of faith.

The most specific imageboard:

Really liked this one. Very specific imageboards are nice, things like 1chan.net
Shame it's so hard to get a user base to niche topics.

I get an error when I go to www. instead of https://bantculture.com

here I am learning German so I can read Kohlchan better and Russian so I can read 2ch better

any boards with really high quality and active /ai/ generals you can recommend?

>>45219184
>ai
>high quality
unexistent, 99% of it is just unhinged coomers. There is no room for normal conversation

>>45219195
That's not even true on /g/ - but yeah it is coom material is the most obvious carrot for anons.

>>45219195
coomers will drive innovation, one needs to be obsessed to really push the technology to new levels

>>45219195
Kohlchan has some pretty skilled posters using stable diffusion and giving tips to each other

>>45219384
That and gamers
They both want an experience more fulfilling than reality, ultimately

lame how you can't even open lots of the boards on ylilauta without buying gold account

why do you fucks keep posting this shit if it's just going to give me an auth page

Is there a complete and searchable archive of ancient (early 2000s) 2ch threads?

Where did you guys go during 4chan's outage?

Yes. Look up Unix time.

not sure if anyone had posted this before

I'm looking for imageboards that have good ai boards, what directory site might be best to give me some to check for? (any language is ok)

>>45266982
You can start by looking in this thread and scrolling up.

thanks

>>45272284
This got me wondering. Is there a Japanese textboard or imageboard where the posters are mostly female? How do delusional girls do their online stalking?

>>45272376
for the most part, girls don't use the internet the same way as guys, I would bet /jp/ has less than 1% female posters

>>45272376
girlschannel.net

>>45267626
nice

>>45279315
That's what I was looking for. I first went to https://girls-ch.jp/ and that wasn't it.

>>45267626
This one has potential if it could get more users.

3chan is offline again
Sucks, I really like the old imageboard screenshots thread.

>>45298076

>>45197702
>https://www.bantculture.com
this one has potential and users.

>>45301668
I went in with a positive attitude but honestly I am having difficulty fapping to that

>>45244938
how much ad revenue does it bring in per month?

some boards get better and worse as the day goes by depending on janny population at any given hour

>>45308208
well known phenomenon I'd say
but the exact time this happens is different from board to board

https:/bantculture.com is pretty good

>>44998272
there are a bunch of nico nico douga and 2channel related posts on 22chan although not posted in regularly

>>45311015
Is there actually anything worth seeing in

too many moderators are always a recipe for ruining the pot

>>45337014
just one topic for the whole board? guess that is one way to do things

>>45336032
Teenagers and young adults pretending they're on the 2000's internet.

>>45340775
Just visit for yourself, you'll either love or hate it. It has an emphasis on old internet and OC creation.

that sounds promising then, 2000s internet was better

>>45341027

You cannot emulate the 2000's internet without other sites doing the same.

>>45341993
not to mention all the people that are on the internet now that suck compared to the demographics of who was on the internet back then, before iphones, etc

>>45311554
damn, i thought 22chan was dead. glad to see it's back.

Maplestory just had a big scandal, apparently some of their animators were sneaking Megalia references into promo material. Pic related.
Anyone who speaks worst Korea know what they're saying about it?

>>45351579
what?

>>45357708
Korean radfem movement. The hand gesture signifies smol pp.

>>45358997
i feel like they are just making a big deal of a relatively common hand gesture that could be drawn by accident

how slow is too slow for an imageboard?
feel like there's a point where an imageboard is so slow that it discourages people from posting

>>45076023
arca.live is close enough to one

>>44905856
Another bernd posting on the jay pee? Nice

you have no idea how batshit insane megalians are. it's a deep rabbit hole; way deeper than your anus.

>>44906625
>>44909734
He's wrong. It's because of Germany's magnum opus VN.
>which one
lurk moar

>>45351579
honestly it just seems like they are overreacting to a common hand position. like is there even any benefit to hiding sekret cult references into random stuff?
feels similar to crazy christians claiming everyday symbols are actually satanic symbols.

>>45373019
educate yourself. megalians are batshit insane. >>45371941

>>45373019
I think the cult stuff is probably overblown, and Megalian ceased to be a coherent entity years ago, but it definitely seems like there was a deliberate effort to sneak pinches into a lot of the promo material. Less "esoteric scheme by sinister cultists" and more "crazy korean women doing a little trolling" imo.
You can find a lot more examples of the pinch hand in a lot of shit, google around or check /v/ archives. Korea really does have a legitimate gender war.

>>45371950
woah ok, interesting to know

>>45371921
Just one Japanese guy keeps acting out as if he's arguing with several others.

>>45227319
if you really want to browse them (they are just porn), then make a thread about needing a gold account and you will get one. They are abundant and gifting gold accounts is common, they even introduced 10% tax on it (1 day of gold gets reduced by 10% when gifted) because some people have infinite gold accounts from previous events.

Getting free gold accounts is easy and thats the only reason why people arent aping out. You also get them the more you post.

Ylilauta also now has paid pinning, costs a shit ton (24h is 400€).

>>45374118
Bizarre
Can't understand what is the point of gold accounts if some people have infinite copies of it

>>45382018
I think it's kinda cool. Fosters a sense of community, and allows people who want to support the site to do so.

>>45374118
>Ylilauta also now has paid pinning,
what is that? you mean your thread gets pinned to the top for a whole day?

>>45382018
the site used to have platinum accounts, infinite gold. This was removed and those who had bought platinum got lifetime amount of gold days. Then there are power users who get rewards by posting a lot.

the site admin before he closed his another board site northpole.fi, told to either make account or change their account name to similar one as in ylilauta. Those who did, got gold until 2025, as a tribute to keeping old board culture alive. The site admins job contract with ylilauta ends that year as well so it had a symbolic meaning as well, "these good lads deserve gold so they dont need to suffer from the stupid changes yet to come".

This also probably lead to them introducing the 10% tax, since people just had too much of them for free.
>>45383458
picrel, 24 h of a pin is 2160 gold days. Gold cost 69€ a year or 6.9€ a month.

So you can pin your thread to the top. The prices are high though and plenty of people just filter the pin by default.

>>45351579
>>45358997
This is like the "white power" thing all over again. Come on.

start looking for new OP pic for next thread

>>45388040
I got one, from uplift.5ch.net

>>45388062
excellent!!

I do wonder where the NEETS are at now. I always like reading or seeing pictures of them in Japan. Like that image of the house in the middle of the forest that looked that was filled with neets and was completely trashed.

>>45391796
I thought that Neets by definition don't live together

>>45397154
No, that isn't a requirement. NEET just means you don't work or do education, you can have roommates. It's not common though.

>>45398657
maybe I'm thinking more specifically about Hikkikomori

Why are the porn threads in bbspink so uninteresting?
We have more lust inducing images even in our blue boards

>>45403535
I often wonder about this in other imageboards, some of them might have great random or int boards, but their actual s or gif type boards are kind of boring and inactive
