>>135879Hmm, strange. I did look at it for the hell of it a couple weeks ago and it seemed to be working fine, albeit a fair amount of boards were abandoned. I didn't see any announcements about problems, although Russia blocked it apparently. The /v/ board was the most active one by far, but I can't really remember much else.

>>135857This was an interesting read.
I have a strange story and that's when I tried to post on 4chans /cm/ board only for the site to say "post successful" and my post not show up, the content was only this panorama and saying that I'm willing to make more. what's odd is that before trying to make that post I haven't posted on 4chan in 12 years, I have moved, switched ISPs and have a new router and modem.
In attempting to fix the issue I have tried the following:
- Removing texts so it's only the image
- Switching to a fresh browser with no add-ons I tried both chrome(gross) Librefox, firefox and brave
- resetting my IP
- Waiting 5 days and trying again
- converting my image into other formats
- Changing the filename
- Using a proxy/VPN
Guess what? Nothing worked it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm very confused by the guy spamming down the thread about how they need to use AI. What's the point in doing a fun project if you don't do it yourself?
No.135903
it's trolling of course. AI doesn't actually work
No.135905
As long as you don't leave it in as the final product, I don't have an issue using AI to streamline work. It's not like anyone is going to notice if you trace it and bother to fix it up.

NOT kissu.
I don't have any problems with wapchan, but I'm not sure kissu has ever talked about doing a webring/friends thing with anyone. Unfortunately the 8chan people tainted the webring term on imageboards so it implies a specific culture that we don't have, but I guess if you made old-fashioned gif links people would know what you meant. Maybe.

No.135971
>>135969You're confusing silly, non-serious posts with bothersome ones known as "shitposting" where people are purposely abrasive and "low quality", typically full of general template phrases from the wider internet.
You can't expect to have a lot of AiPri discussion when it's a silly and extremely niche. The fun threads pop up relatively often and people can interact without having watched the show. That's basically the essence of imageboards if you ask me, and it's the way culture grows. If you have hundreds of thousands of users like 4chan you can have a general thread that struggles to stay alive (and it's the only place AiPri exists) but that's heavily limited in its own way.
Such is the fate of niche stuff.

>>135967¥ he doesn't knowIt's a funny cultural thing, I don't think anyone here really cares outside of funny haha smartass "who quote" opportunities. 4/jp/ is a different story since site culture at large is much different as there are far more people using it to be a rude asshole with their ebic maymay greentext and ergo get called out.
And they lack
the super cool tricks we have so longpost readability is harder when it's all a blob of white text, especially if you're afraid of being called out for "reddit spacing" which thankfully I've seen less of. It's just down to who's using it, our markdown would be abused just as much if most users were the exact retards who abuse it over there.

https://wapchan.org/cel/res/735.htmlhttps://wapchan.org/digi/res/41.htmlYou would think posts like this would get deleted or edited if they "hated lolicons". It is true that it's not a very common topic on the site, but there's nothing in the rules against it.

No.135986
>>135971There's an old phrase: "one's anon's funpost is another anon's shitpost." The difference between "silly" and "abrasive" is a matter of perspective and which meme words are acceptable depends on the people present. Surely you can see how going into a bunch of random threads and reposting the same image and canned text would be bothersome to some people. I think IBs need a certain tolerance for shitposting as they can lead to funny exchanges and a more cohesive culture, but a shitpost is a shitpost no matter what you call it. If you're using the term purely to refer to openly malicious posts, I think you're misusing it.
4/a/ is actually a good example of a place that held "serious discussion" as a holy grail, wiped out most of its own culture in pursuit of that, ended up with a board full of generals to facilitate it, then descended into unprecedented shitposting and spam waiting for it to come. Even the 15 minutes after a new episode drops and people stop to fulfill the thread's purpose are hard to take advantage of when the perma-bumpers just see it as a distraction. Also, I'm pretty sure smug has an AiPri thread, it's just a continuation of the previous season's thread because they're retarded.

>>135980I was dragged through the mud by several people on wapkind and post deleted for encouraging people to be helpful and considering them friends rather than pushing people away.

>>135991You would have to talk to the kindmin about this one. I will say that the board isn't exactly the same as it as on 8chan because wapchan is a different site with different (stricter) rules, especially in regards to bigotry.
I have lurked on here before. It's certainly the best /jp/-esque place I've found, though I didn't browse old /qa/ on 4chan so I'm less familiar with that.

We do anime streams and multiplayer games at least, but we could always think of other things if there's a larger and more varied group to draw from. New Year's is coming up which means it will be gikopoi time and that generally links up a few imageboard/textboards together in a shared little cat world.

Also, I guess /kind/ is the continuation of the old kind that spawned off ota? Looks exactly the same.
