Have not tried using the magicchan bookmark again till today. I am officially a wizard now. Glad modmin decided to create an alt board, I missed magicchan, I was refuging in incels.co but it’s filled with many underage dumb kids.
>>2365> I find myself spending less and less time on the web and focusing more on the passions I've developed over time, a far cry from being 20 and not having a single thing that I could say I was passionate about.27 an no passion yet. May conjure the biggest spell known to a wizard when I hit 30.
>>2379Welcome back
>>2382I am 35 and don't have a passion, too. Unfortunately it does not just magically turn up with age.
Hello, man I just thought of looking up magicchan bc I miss good image boards and I found this. I miss the site before it got took down with weird shi-. What's up?
>>2404Imagine if it was still kicking...
another dead imageboard thanks to larpers and cliquers. Normalfags and failed normies with friends and social groups addicted to discord will never be wizards.
I am chilling.
>Anon.cafe will shut down as of 00:00 UTC on 15 March 2024.
What now? Do we still have a BO?
>>2432There's always Lizchan...
>>2433The bunker on 8chan is still up but I would rather avoid that website
>>24348chan.moe doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation either.
>>2435That's what i said :^|
>>2434What’s wrong with using the board on there? I think it’s hidden from the main site so won’t get tourists from their user base. I’m not familiar with modern image board reputations.
I’ll redirect magicchan.org there or a thread in /v9k/ on wizchan or uboachan just to use like a guestbook for any mages who come on by, depending on the arguments against 8chan and if there’s an alternative service.
Put the date on my calendar so I will be back.
>>2437Based on the things I've heard of that site, and who the owner is sharing your data with, I'm sure as hell wouldn't post anything there.
>>2438Ok I don’t know much anymore.
Any views on endchan?
>>2437A lot of boards seem to be moving to trashchan, maybe contact the webmaster there and ask for a hidden board? He seems to be able to scrape the cafe effectively and transition all of the old threads too so they aren't lost. It would be a real shame to lose all of our threads here.
>>2441Looks like a lot of hassle getting trashchan dude to approve of things, and talking to people. We will see what happens.
>>2441>>2443It's pretty much the only option if we want to keep our threads.
Btw the magicchan archive links are dead, anyone downloaded it?
>>2445Anyone can ask him to do it.
>>2445The other board I saw mentioned was wapchan. I don't know that the webmaster there can mirror our threads in the same way though. Outside of that We have some diplomacy to do I guess, asking around other altchans and seeing if anyone will take us in.
>>2449I think he can do it because he rebuilt one of the boards as a test.
Are we up and running?
Thanks again to the wapchan dude who copied everything, and the mage who did all the talking to people part.
Hopefully I won't need to do much, but I got a board owner account to just delete spam or whatever. If modmin comes back and wants it he can have it. I'm the magicchan.org domain owner. Just say if there's anything needs changing.
>>1461It's a reach but could anyone upload this? The drive I had this saved is blown. Be wild to recognize our posts as anons lol
>>2456>modminMaster Of Debate, was it?
Man, I hope he's doing alright. I recall him just being 4 years older than me. He could be a coke-guzzling gigolo living it up in the caribbeans and I would be cool with that. He admitted himself he barely posted on the original MagicChan but he cared and his efforts were understandable given the activity of probably no more than 10 regulars (-1 RiP FavelaWiz) and wandering spirits. Thanks MoD.
>>2406>another dead imageboard thanks to larpers and cliquersI don't think thats the case. Imageboards in general have taken a steep decline. Anyone playing the fool or an act doesn't have much of an audience unless they're probably schizophrenic. Believe it or not, some guys just choose to walk away from this and hobbymax. I still visit because I always aprreciated the site's moderation, laid-back atmosphere, and genuineposting.
It's been about a month since the last meta post, and I've been lurking for over 3 years now. With the concern over lack of users, I've decided to post this one time to say, "I'm here." I probably won't post, but to those concerned this place is dying, I'm sure there are other mages who don't post, but lurk. I haven't posted in the late magicchan, only browsed it once. This will probably be my only post. Not sure if sage works, but sage for a somewhat irrelevant post.
I’m here too.
I'm here too. I justo don't have anything interesting or wizardly to say. I'm sorry.
>>2503We have to make sage work.
I mostly just lurk everywhere now, but ye, I am still here and will be~
I'm here, I just have such little free time these days. I miss being a NEET.
I think it's over, wizcel bros... I'm starting to regret having spent so much time on imageboards and not socializing or making friends in real life but real life never seemed rewarding enough, things always felt too tiresome, I never felt too comfortable, I'm still too sensitive, and now imageboards are dead so there's no place to call home, or have the illusion of a home.
>>2529You can try real life, and you'll quickly see why you came to the boards in the first place.
I'm going to let the magicchan domain expire and I'm gone. Bye friends.
>>2534Are you the admin? I believe you just deleted two spam posts, did you not?
>>2529If it was a choice for you then it was never a place for you anyway.
>>2536The illusion of choice.
>>2534I can't say I blame you. Thank you for keeping it up. I myself am reaching the end. I'm trying to stock up on Amitriptyline until I have enough for a lethal dose. It was fun posting with the handful of people that would regularly post on the old site. I was surprised by the level of insight I came across when I would pour my heart out on some posts. I hope you find your peace in whatever you choose to do going forward.
>>2529Judging by the experiences posted by much older people with mental disorders like Autism and Schizophrenia, I don't think some of us had any chance whatsoever. I think the smarter ones decide how much anguish and pain they'll encounter and understand things will only worsen considerably with age, so they catch the bus while they're still young.
It's a shame but at least they're no longer suffering.
>>2529I kind of wish I had a real life but I don't really think I ever had a chance. I only ever knew the feeling of being an outsider looking in as everyone had fun, but I couldn't really understand them and I somehow just could never do the things they could do. I'm just totally unsuited to this world. I don't know what's wrong with me beyond that.
I wonder if this board will still be here when I'm a wizard this time next year.
>>2573Congrats, wizard. Ya(will soon) made it to 30!
Countless people would kill to be given as much time as we've wasted!
Late response as, I actually killed my 2 decades-long internet-addiction! This is wild! Holy shit!
Anyway, I hope you find your peace with what ever it is you do.
I don't know what my plans will be like after the passing of my loved ones but the incoming times will be interesting no doubt.
Having a "failsafe" packed tight somewhere gives you a lot of freedom and I guess this is what that Carpe Diem meme is about.
Probably reaching at ghosts at this point, but thanks to all those who have stuck around, even the lurkers and caravan posters. It's unbelievable it's been over 10 years.
MagicChan was an invaluable hub in what was a particularly difficult period in my life. Thank you all, especially those who went out of their way to effortpost(this is a thing now lol) personal stories and insightful/compassionate replies.
I still catch myself pulling knowledge from the epiphanies and new perspectives obtained from you all.
One way or another, we're all gonna make it.
Later.
I don't know if its just me but I couldnt fucking load the board for months, I thought it got deleted. Something must have happened cause our CSS and banners are gone.
>>2575I have checked in from time to time and don't remember not being able to load the board, but maybe I just forgot how long it had been since I came here and it happened while I was away.
Anyway I'm not good with anime characters (and don't remember character names even if I did watch the anime) so it will be hard for me to even pass the captcha here anymore.
>>2575You're right, but there's so little activity I thought bringing it up with the admin would make him axe the board.
>>2576That's what reverse image search is for.
