Well, it's gonna be alright.

Welcome back. Did your post break here >>50541 #

While I'm here, two quick questions. I don't want to use cloudflare, but if we did, would be make it harder for you and others in the RF to reach the site or is the cloudflare throttling easy to bypass with a VPN?

Second I'm adding the site to imageboards.net. Do you mind if I put /asylum/ in the board list and if that's okay, do you want to write a short description of the board?

>>50549 #
>Yes, but not now
It's fine. I can edit the description later, it's not even visible on the site yet. These are two of the descriptions to give you an idea, literally one sentence is fine.
>/mtv/ is used for groupwatches and hosts regular movie nights on Saturdays
>/psi/ is the resident paranormal/occult board.
I'll keep this thread open but I'll be lurking /homu/ and finishing off work on the new server. Sorry if I caused you any issues yesterday with the connection problems.

Thank you for all.

TATHATĀTHAW

Sorry about what happened on /homu/. I didn't expect that anons would have such a paranoid reaction.

>>58569 #
You have nothing to apologize for.
I'd like to take this opportunity to point out a new board /manu/, here that I only noticed today.

>>58594 #
Yes, /manu/ was our old library on 0-chan. It was a pretty unsorted collection of books and pdfs on various topics from what I remember and didn't get a lot of use, but I hope the new one will be more popular. The board owner of /manu/ was talking to me yesterday getting anons together to read and discuss books live, which might be fun. The activity on /homu/ on the nights we read theozoology was crazy, the posts per hour count was over 200 for several hours.

btw you might want to go to /psi/ and talk to the board owner there. It's not an admin mandate or anything, I don't want to interfere with user boards in general, but I think figuring out how to distinguish your boards in terms of topic might help both.

Should also say that if you don't want to directly advertise your board elsewhere, then the best way to get interest on the webring is to try to find something interesting to post here daily. smuglo.li's webring plugin sorts boards by most recent post by default. I'm also going to promote /psi/ and /asylum/ in the /homu/ board subtitle, we're usually in the top 3 of the webring list so that should help.
>>50556 #
btw about this, we're still not in that list yet. I'll have to email the admin there soon if not to see if there is something going on.

What I mean. You don't need a lot of activity to stay near the top of the default chart, you just need activity at the right time.

>how to distinguish your boards
Yes, I observed this discussion and even formed a response in my head, but thinking that publishing it would be too much of an offtopic. There is indeed a difference, and I'll explain it since you mentioned it.

>post here daily
I can say upfront that I don't see this as a possibility.
I already think about the topic of my next post daily, but its final publication can take a week or more.
And I deliberately don't want to tie myself down to a deadline for fear of a decline in quality, meaning there could be even more downtime.
Involving new posters would help. When we were on 2.0-chan, there were a few of us, but every year our numbers dwindle, and I don't know where else to find people willing to do this.

>And I deliberately don't want to tie myself down to a deadline for fear of a decline in quality, meaning there could be even more downtime.
Understandable. Please run this board how you like, I'll try to come here more often and will keep promoting it in the webring through the board subtitle.

You know your local imageboard scene much better than us english speaking guys from /xomy/, but maybe it's a good idea to reach out to some of the former 0-chan guys. On their bunker or conference or however they stay in contact now. I remember you had problems with the avatar users and the general post quality on 2.0, but people from there are the closest culturally to you and the most likely to stick around. Some of them should be good quality users. Better here than going back to a government run imageboard hosted on yandex servers.

You could also look at some of the slower boards on the webring to see if there is any board similar to /asylum/ that you could partner with. You don't need to ask my permission if you want to promote your place, I don't care so long as you don't literally link the site on reddit and similar bot run social networks.

I'm going to go for a while but I'll check the thread later and I'll be on /homu/ later anyway. Just post a bug there if you want me to know it's you.

The thing is that on Nulltirech we, like you, were refugees. Ultrasemen kindly provided us with a board, and our community stayed separate from the main community, which also was not particularly eager to engage with us. These were people with different interests and topics; we were simply not very compatible.
As for our own people, they dissolved. Some were pushed to the limit by our experiments, some simply lost interest, some locked themselves away in psychiatric hospitals. There were even cases of suicide, but without concrete facts there is no point in bringing that up.
That is why it is difficult to talk about returning from here. The only person I noticed was the poster who created the board /echidna/. He was a very active and stable conversational partner of mine, a true schizophrenic, but he stopped writing and then deleted the board. Possibly this board engine did not suit him, since everyone had grown accustomed to a different one.
In any case, whatever will be, as we say: I am ready to post on my own, and if someone comes along, that is good too!

I hope you keep having fun during your stay here.

We know what that's like. I don't feel like going into all the details now, but we first came to meguca.org as refugees after 8chan got hacked. Then we ended up on 4.0 because the main userbase on meguca didn't really like us. Still, we have a few crossposters between here and the new meguca so I work on this engine for everyone's benefit. I try to stay optimistic about getting in contact with our old friends who were lost in various migrations, so far we're found 2 or 3 since I started this site and I hope we'll meet more again. But yes, there is also the suspicion that certain users disappeared because of bad things happening to them. It's an unfortunate reality of imageboards that the same state of mind that makes people interesting and active users can lead them down bad paths. If there's anything I can do to help, by advertising this site with certain keywords for your community I will.
>Possibly this board engine did not suit him, since everyone had grown accustomed to a different one.
I don't want to promise anything, but do you mean liveposting, meguca or kusaka that was running on 2.0?

>>58623 #
>keep having
And I do it, it's the best place for me.
Especially when I stop rushing myself and start publishing posts that are truly heartfelt to myself.

>Liveposting could be one of the reasons
Like I said before, there was a plan by the old maintainers to add normal posting back to meguca as an option for posting. I'm not going to work on any new features for a month or so, but in principle I'm willing to work on that again. It's just a very low priority since my community stuck around on meguca because they liked liveposting. If not having that option stops people you know from using your board, then I would make it a higher priority issue. In any case, if I do add that it's going to be a user side option in the identity menu, like the live toggle on 4.0. So other users couldn't watch you type, but they would still be able to livepost. I think ultrasemen wanted to let thread OPs choose if liveposting was allowed, but frankly that would add a lot of complexity in the post handling code for not much use. Of course if someone really doesn't like liveposting right now, they can turn off javascript but that does break moderation tools.

I think this is an issue with your machine. I checked the memory usage for this thread and it's 6 MB. I haven't found any evidence of a memory leak in the browser side on any board.
