oh wait did anyone click on the master plan button? or is that new? well it links to this pdf on archivedotorg:
https://archive.org/details/miladychan-master-plan/mode/2up
among other controversial items, the doc makes it very clear that they have a goal to build up a starting group with which to foster belonging and anchor the community around well beyond the point where the site has gone public, so it says in section II, STRATEGIES:
>GATED TRIBAL BOARDS
>THE TRIBAL COMMUNITY BOARDS WILL REMAIN GATED TO REMILIA HOLDERS, PROVIDING A SEMI-PRIVATE VIP SPACE TO HELP ENSURE A CORE COMMUNITY DYNAMIC IS DEFINED.
>4CHAN EXPERIMENTED WITH THIS WITH THE VIP PASS BUT IT WAS A REVERSAL SINCE IT WAS PROVIDED LONG AFTER THE CORE COMMUNITY HAD BEEN WASHED OUT BY CANCER AND MOSTLY PURCHASED BY THE SAME.
>SINCE OUR COMMUNITY FORMED PRIOR TO THE PLATFORM, THIS SERVES AS A GENUINE OG SPACE.
>AND AS WE’VE ALWAYS DEFINED OUR COMMUNITY AS ONE BEYOND THE ACTUAL NFT HOLDERS, WE’LL PROVIDE EXCEPTIONS TO THE MILADY VILLAGE DISCORD AT A CERTAIN USER LEVEL OF POSTING.
i'd imagine they discussed this to death well before it became public and they are all conscious of what they're doing (future projections notwithstanding)
don't really understand how this works, a single remilia token costs less than dust and many trades go by a dozen bucks or little more, but in their achievements page there are some cheevos that cost a real fucking lot of money
i like the bgm though been listening to it for half an hour

as for the numbers, their discord invite link previews 2.4k people online atm and 13k members which would explain the 15k posts boasted about on >>129484, particularly since it's a live board, so that by itself i find believable
HOWEVER, its comparison to 4chan becomes dubious even if the numbers are true when you consider that an absence of captchas is guaranteed (for now), and we do not know the nature of the posts being made
in any case, they're also interested in actively harnessing the trend towards generals towards this end, another great generator:
>THE CLASSIC WESTERN IMAGEBOARD, 4CHAN, EXPERIENCED A DRASTIC CHANGE IN ITS POSTING CHARACTER ONCE IT GREW PAST A CERTAIN INFLECTION POINT WHERE BOARDS BECAME DOMINATED BY THE “GENERALS” AS A RESULT OF HIGH POSTING FREQUENCY.
>THE “GENERAL” IS MORE EFFICIENTLY SERVED BY THE REALTIME FORMAT AS AN ACTIVE SYNCHRONOUS CHATROOM OF REOCCURING PSEUDONYMOUS REGULARS.
>THIS WOULD THEN ALLOW THE TRADITIONAL IMAGEBOARD THREAD TO THRIVE BY PROVIDING IT AS A STATIC CONSTRUCT.
you can't deny it's a modern platform, that much is true

honestly, i might jump in their server and start asking stuff out of curiousity, it could be an interesting exercise
there is certainly an attempt being made

i take it it's on purpose, looking at this option from the [milady meme maker]

If it was sincere I could like them even though they're derivative, but it's obviously meant to invoke the sincerity and innocence of older internet cultures (obvious in the image here >>131006) for the purpose of scamming and other chicanery. Wolf in sheep's clothing and all that. It's terrible enough to get multiple /biz/ threads: https://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/58754308 https://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/58743981 https://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/58736792

At best it's misguided and at worst it's evil. We can only be curious and poke fun at it because we're confident this attempt to exploit and monetize a dying internet culture will result in failure.

I like /biz/, but I refused to connect any wallet to load a website. I don't have to do that on any other imageboards so I won't make an exception even with an empty wallet. Why should I give more data to Infura and the like which most wallets rely on for queries? There are decentralized imageboards out there that don't require connecting to read, this is no doubt by choice or they are retarded.

I know this happening happened awhile back and was probably discussed then, but I can't believe Wizardchan didn't even survive until my 30th day.

I've never seen a board come back from the dead so I guess it's gone, even though Allchans still lists it as active because they barely update anymore.

It's a certificate issue. Just click on enter site anyways. Besides, Wizchan is a kuso IB plagued by trolls.

>>131408
One of the great ironies of Wizardchan is that I don't think any wizards ever posted on it. Back when hotwheels admin'd it I think he was like 17 or something and that was probably about the average age. Of course these days an imageboard where everyone is at minimum 30 years old might just the default for the older ones...

Not exactly a happening, but Katawa Shoujo is now on Steam, which feels a bit surreal. It might be for archival purposes since it can effectively be stored on Steam servers now. Like other VNs you still need to download a separate patch to get the real experience.

boards on 4chan are getting purged left and right. so far I saw /a/, /int/, /lit/, /co/, /aco/ and /mlp/ getting wiped clean. dunno if it is a rogue mod or server issue.

Probably a mod is protesting or something...

Oh, interesting. Catalogs can be restored as we used to see on back on 4/qa/ (mostly on /po/) but doing it on fast boards where dozens of new, real threads have already been made would complicate things.
I doubt it's any mod drama since things seemed so static with staff the past decade, but it could be possible. My assumption is that if janitors could do that it would happen far more often since it would be a good "fuck you, I'm out" button so I would lead into it being a mistake somewhere or hardware issue.

Looks like /vip/ is the board that suffered the most since it had the oldest threads on 4chan aside from some select /po/ threads. I'm not sure how you'd go about checking it (if anything archives /vip/) but stuff that was 5 years old was probably there. Whoops.

 No.132707

Based on the list of impacted boards it does seem like someone accidentally did a data wipe on the server with the first set of boards on it.

>>132706
I don't get why people treat old threads as innately having more value. /vip/ is a worthless failure of a board, its threads are that old because nobody cares enough to post on the 4chan gold club. /a/ has threads that last for weeks and they're all fucking terrible necrobumpfests while the few interesting ones die in a few hours anyway.

the site was shitting itself a while back (maybe a couple of weeks ago?) and now it seems to be working normally or everyone except me. is this some new stealthy form of online harassment?

I cannot see images at all, not even thumbnails. the funny thing is that this only happens at my home Wi-Fi and work Wi-Fi. I can literally just turn off the Wi-Fi on my cellphone and I start seeing images immediately. what gives?

 No.132723

>>132717
I could give detailed reply for why this is but I'm afraid I'd be called a schizo.

Short version: 4chan is hosted by the US Government now and there is a local server hosted by your ISP that is failing. They distributed everything into CDNs when moot sold out. It's true. 4chan is the only website on the internet that you can continue using after your ISP "disconnects" you for failure to pay.

I've spent a lot of time probing how it works since the 8chan death since I was away from it for many years especially after what was called the first exodus (although I'd been on alt-chans mostly for a long time by then). When moot went to work for Google the new "owner" made a lot of major changes.

For example; They will often time exclude certain posts/threads from archives. They'll even modify the contents of the archives after the fact now.
