Also, I'm not sure what triggers 4chan to demand you let them make the spur us token, because it isn't just having adblock on.

>>172428So you know Mysterium, Tuxler, Hola?
Those are VPNs. They come from datacenters that buy IP blocks and rent them to end users so they can evader blocks on other services. Legitimate or illegitimate, they don't care.
Thing is, reverse engineering IP blocks is easy. All traditional VPNs are blocked on 4chan and many other services.
Big corpos (facebook, twitter, reddit, discord, roblox) usually don't bother blocking VPNs because their problems come from bot farms - thousands of computers hooked to a common-ass ISP
But 4chan blocks all VPNs they discover and so do other websites.
This is when residential VPNs come in play. They are literal VPN botnets, who through apps like Tuxler (owned by Israeli company Brightdata formerly Luminati) and more obscure installable services, they grab an end user's IP and borrow it for usage in another service.
The IP pools these guys manage are massive. We talking high million to low 10 million. It's impossible to block or manage by traditional means.
Therefore its easy to block VPNs. It's impossible to block residential VPNs. You have to block real ISPs to achieve that.
The only way you can block them is by attacking the resVPN end user directly, through aggressive fingerprinting of browser and OS settings, down to figuring out kuso like whether or not a device's clock is out of sync with your device.
(By the way if you have Tuxler you are part of a botnet and liable to get swatted because Brightdata sold your IP to some schizo 5000 kms away used it tp groom kids on Kik. Uninstall that kuso ASAP.)
There's also "professional" residential VPNs that sell an extremely limited and curated pool of IPs that they personally take care of spoofing, those cost an arm and a leg and have a 3 to 4 digits IP pool.
Brightdata, IPRoyal, Oxylabs and others are all residential VPNs.
Now, Spur us is a very high skill company that basically acts a client to every resiVPN that goes public, and some that are private. They research and log their IP pools and run heuristics for clients in order to identify resVPNs. They even have a analytics tool for clients called Monocle.
Spur is very new and relatively obscure. They likely lack the infrastructure to be adopted by big companies - if they ever care enough to tackle resVPNs instead of the bot farm cancer (and there's really nothing stopping Spur from tackling bot farms either)
4chan and KF may be their big breakout - stopping a pedophilia proliferation network is certainly a headliner story.
I wouldn't be surprised if they become the new unicorn cybsec company this decade.

If you IP is from a Turkish owned IP block and suddenly a Vietnamese server is using it to connect they are going to notice and flag your connection.
They also integrated with 4chan to track session cookies. So if a session was originally created in France and suddenly a Canadian IP is using it, and the browser+os fingerprint matches, spur flags
That also means that Spur.us and 4chan 100% have an enterprise-level custom agreement.
The tl;dr spurs doesn't log anything but where you connection comes from and has no way if identifying who's the person behind the posts. There's no "personal information" to log, only IP and a fingerprint (which is merely your browser+OS settings that are likely not unique to you unless you riced up your brower and/or OS)

I don't know how or why the posters of that general lost the fear of talking to each other with time, but that desire for discussing shotas was what gradually increased the activity of the threads and turned them into a general that has "spin-offs" and even attracts posters from other places (it's not rare to have topics from /v/, /co/, /his/ or /lit/ in these threads, and I've spotted at least one redditor that crossposts in shota threads and in a sfw shota subreddit that somehow has been up for 4 years).

Is there an actual reason to even have separate image and non-image reply limits these days? Since these generals just make a new thread the second the limit is hit I don't think it would lead to a major increase in bandwidth/storage usage.

Of course arguably the root cause is the handful of devs that went "fuck it" and spent time and money self-hosting servers and instances, but now it's large enough to be self-sustaining.
4chan as usual is a reflection of the wider internet so loli/shota scene becoming public and normalized is in turn reflected in anon posting habits.
Also caused a lot of actual csam people to infiltrate the scene so you ended up with the likes of the proxy site - originally a loli community - going masks off as soon as they felt untouchable.

The data generated when you enable Spur's domains and let its code run when you solve a captcha for the first time is uploaded to Spur's database of known IPs used by VPN/proxy services to check if your IP doesn't belong to these services. Additionally, it checks if you aren't doing weird things, like appearing in different locations in a short time (jumping between IPs), having the same short range of IPs be used by a lot of users, having a timezone/language that doesn't match your IP's location, and if you do, it flags you as a potential proxyfag and lets the website know it. 4chan's staff then use that data to ban and block posters, IPs and IP ranges.

But at this point in time, most people here or on any other altchan is a 4chan user or former user, and whatever their interests are, 4chan will always be there and often it will win their attention. Purely by force of inertia. Yes, it's awful for all sorts of reasons but "everyone" is there. For example, my interests are anime/manga/VNs/vidya/lit. All of the corresponding boards on 4 are absolutely horrendous but any thread on any of the corresponding boards except maybe 4/lit/ has more activity than all of kissu combined.

Twitter is not a demographic I'd want to pull from; it's emblematic of everything I loathe and sort of the exact antithesis of anonymous imageboards with people chasing fame, monetization, and of course the algorithm-incentivized conflict.

I don't know how you'd specifically attract only those dozen or so people spread across the planet.
What you would probably need to pull from, and I'm sure it would bother people, is the people chasing the "indie web" thing (as bothersome as that term happens to be). Many of them do have only a passing interest in such things, but it's more than most people have, so that's your growth potential.

In general, if I use an old revival service, I expect to use it like it's the old days. If there's some kohais born later that have no real conception of what it was like back then and still insist on using their phones and just indulge in the aesthetic without anything else, then I simply pity them.

>>173744What happened to Vidlii? I checked on it recently and it didn't seem so bad.
>>173769That's a good point. But the problem is WHERE to get a batch of the new userbase. Social media has fostered userbases that are inherently drama-hungry and care about superficial status rather than actually discussing or producing good content. There's a lot of good faith people, but at the same time, there's too much bad mixed in. No one goes to hobby forums anymore, and the worst part is, people who want to go to hobby forums can't find active ones anymore, so they are forced to use subreddits which is filled with the worst kinds of people. And advertising on subreddits or twitter is a bad idea.

I wish that were true, but the problem is that these people advertise on twitter and reddit, so a lot of those drama-seeking people infest those communities and kill them, I've noticed it as a pattern every time one of those indie web communities fall.

- If the usual offtopic board's activity ended overtaking the hobby boards, the community survives, but the ones that cared about the hobby end leaving. This is usually not the worst part as the knowledge repository usually survives.
- The forum starts succumbing to internet rot disease. The administrator has moved on with his life, the staff is diminished and either the forum becomes too expensive to maintain or there's no expertise to fix it anymore because the software was heavily customised, no one understand the ninja code, or is literally bobby trapped (SomethingAwful, if the rumors are true). In the worst case scenario, it migrates to Discord.
- This one also applies to imageboards, but the surviving hobby forum may have developed a severe toxicity problem both for users and staff. There are internet novices, there is a forum, but they are driven away, and probably end in places like social media (again).
>so they are forced to use subreddits which is filled with the worst kinds of people. And advertising on subreddits or twitter is a bad idea.I never had a reddit account, but from what I understand if you are a complete begginer with a brand new account you can't even access the big subrreddits due to the karma system, forcing you to build reputation on smaller subreddits. many people would end giving up before reaching that. Not to mention the possibility of petty downvoting if another redditor basement dweller decides they hate you or wants to keep the community isolated.
I'm glad I got to experience internet before social media and the concentration of activity on a few ever growing big services. At the same time, I have never been able to fit in the current mainstream places. When people where oversharing and going public (names, real life photos, selfies, talking about their daily life as public posts), I was paranoid about privacy and the risk of my internet activity being linked to my IRL identity. Those normies for whom being an open book was the only thing they had ever known did not trust me.

>>173815>What happened to Vidlii?So I've been around since it launched. It originally started out as a clone of old YouTube (it might as well be one of the first attempts at one of those "old social media revival" projects. The creator and former owner, Jan, was mostly absent and didn't moderate his community too much leading to a lot of shitflinging in the early days. Pretty much every mod he introduced was met with criticism in one way or another, mostly because a lot of them were indeed powertripping jannies, but i don't doubt that a few of them likely meant well and ended up being chased off the site due to how toxic the community was. But overall, it was avoidable and outside of the copy and paste fake nostalgia videos there was some decent OC here and there. Popular youtubers like NFKRZ even promoted it back then and I remember this specific incident pissing off a lot of the members of the site because they thought it'd bring kuso people.
Eventually the site was bought by Kolyma Network (same owners as the mspaint bald man with glasses site) and it became a cesspool of gore, school shooter tiktok edits, porn, N word spam and I think there even was a stabbing in Germany associated with someone on the site. It became an anarchy video sharing website basically.
By that point i had already stopped using it. But I was told that some guy named Aniki tried to fix it and now it's slightly less kuso than it was by the beginning of the decade. But I wouldn't know, I don't use it since Jan quit.

You obviously can't touch with sight. At least with cuteness or serenity you will feel better and more whole but lewdness will only inflame you and leave you destitute.

Think of how twitter threads get deleted on /a/, but are a clickbait mainstay of every other board to the extent that people make it part of their business model to advertise their account across 4chan. This kind of cultural protection by staff is something /a/ has had over every other board and it's caused the mistaken belief that they're just naturally better than other posters.

Then there was that "ironic anime" period, with shows like Umaru, Dragon Maid and Gabriel Dropout, that again attracted /v/irgins to /a/ as anime became a kind of badge for being "anti-SJW" during the Gamergate fallout, many of these /v/rigins didn't even really like these shows on their own, they were just following a contrarian fad basically.

>>174992My observations over the years paint the opposite: hierarchy is established not by liking things but by hating things. The posturing involved with /a/ and related places is that you must loudly proclaim how much everything sucks or no one will believe you "know" anime. That show you like? It sucks. That genre? It sucks.
It's a particular brand of vocal cynicism where admitting to enjoying something opens you to judgment because you could only like Show X if you've only watched 5 shows and don't "belong". It's the immaturity that most people are supposed to grow out of, like their 12 year-old self that grew an embarrassing excuse of a mustache that they were convinced at the time made them look like a badass. The 12 year-old mustache of /a/ is extreme aggression and antagonism that they are convinced is the hallmark of a mature adult with 9000 shows on their belt.
Some people love that type of culture (it is particularly appealing to teen boys), but I hated it because I wanted to have casual fun instead of needing to justify my enjoyment. Some people will say i was gatekept from it, but the town inside the gate isn't one I wanted to enter. Being outside of 4chan these days I can talk about anime to my heart's content and it's quite nice to be able to say "I like Show X" and not see 20 people crawl out of the woodwork to disparage the comment with the knowledge that doing so increases their status.

It's /a/ where you could just enjoy a show about cute girls doing cute things without needing to justify that it's actually a deep intellectual work. Someone who has watched 9000 shows could certainly be a jackass and just be leaving stuff on to make their MAL number go up, but more often it means they actually enjoy anime and have watched a variety of shows and enjoy exploring the medium.
You clearly have a chip on your shoulder and are just making up things that never happened.
>>175001I can't make my argument any easier to follow for you. The number of anime you have watched does not determine the quality of your post, but a bad post can make it obvious you have not watched many anime. The post is not bad because you have not watched many anime, the post is bad because it's bad. People who have watched tons of anime can also make bad posts.

In my opinion /a/ and /jp/ culture died when consuming and sharing fan-translated content stopped being the norm (remember when animesuki had a torrent tracker?). I don't get what you intend to gatekeep these days when anime, manga, even VNs and doujin games get official translations now and are as accessible to people on twitter as they are to you. The fan culture died due to external factors, there is no cool kids club where you had to know the right sites to even watch things anymore. Also, VLC is now good enough.
No.175060
>>175056I wouldn't say it "died". These are still groups that exist in stark contrast to the mainstream fandoms that are very new with their own cultural values that often strongly oppose at least some aspects traditional 2D culture. The stuff going mainstream does mean you can't instantly bond with someone with a 2D profile picture the way you could 20 years ago, but I think there's still corners where you can be with your own kind, so to speak. I feel like part of this is just what happens when you get older, though, and have trouble relating to each new group of people.
I think the divide comes down more to personality and values these days, which probably isn't far from how it should be. The people that want attention or recognition (or even money) can do their thing on twitter or discord while imageboards can be left along to do their own thing free of such burdens.
Unfortunately most people want that aforementioned fame or money for doing those fan projects. It's just the nature of the internet these days and imageboards just aren't a good place to get either of those things, by design.

I used to have a 4chan pass but since the hack I decided to stop monetarily supporting the website. They refused to deliver a data breach notification after we almost got doxxed by the hacker, you know, something that's actually illegal because any US based website suffering from a data breach must notify affected users. I also had money on their third party advertisement system Danbo or whatever. I don't believe Danbo was affected by the hack in any way, but that site has my bank account linked in so if a hacker attacks them they could see potentially damaging info about me an hundreds of other users. 4chan mods refused to acknowledge any of these issues so I refuse to support their site.
