>>1659Jesus man calm down, just report the post and move on and a janny will take care of it.
>>1660Apologies. The last weeks at 4chan have been utter crap to the point that I'm still o bit on edge.
Back in the early 10's I used to be a 7chan poster, although these days it's pretty much a zombie place. I was hoping to find a quieter place where good threads don't get wiped in minutes by all that spam.
>>1661I think everyone on 7chan moved to their irc, so they don't even have a core few posters on there any more.
not sure if there is anybody left who cares but oh well… just found this lovely place by accident and right now i am a bit high on nostalgia feels and willing to drop some stuff. doing a saturday night storytime. let's see how it goes.
How about using the Twitter account to promote the site? It's kinda useless to keep it as a huge repository of users' posts.
Also, how about opening a bluesky account and use it for the same thing?
>>1675There is a bluesky account
https://bsky.app/profile/wapchan.orgI'm not really sure what to post though besides "come check out the site".
It would probably be better if someone else other than me ran the accounts since I've got enough on my plate as is.
>>1631I don't post because I'm not sure anyone will reply.
>>1677Here's a reply.
When I post, I don't know if people will reply. But I post anyways, because I like getting my thoughts out there and I know on this site they won't just fade away in an hour.
>>1675Yes! And a fediverse profile wouldn't hurt at all!
We don't have aliens on wapchan, so we are safe.
>>1697It’s all good, the aliens are gone(who would’ve ever thought some Indian love call would be the answer) and 4chan has returned to status quo, on the flip side of things it’s been vindicated as an anime website given how certain events turned out lol
>>442well, we did it.
It only took 4chan dying for wapchan to finally emerge from its ice age and rival the major alts
i hope you old posters and refugees alike take care of the wapanese channel
>>2067And it’s kinda slowed down again, well not nearly as much since this website is fairly more active than pre-4chan hack but still disappointing that a good swath of users decided to just go back, it was inevitable yes but if one had a choice of going to a relatively happy-positive vibed imageboard or a website of infamy where users argue all the time over little things, what would you choose?
>>3055I already pointed it out here>>3049 although it’s not nearly as slow as previously prior to the hack, we’ve most certainly have gotten new permanent users who’ve migrated off that site, myself partly (I only post on /m/ and a few /VG/ generals now)
>>442er…join the webring?
>>3061we already have six friend sites, no way are we joining the cesspool called the "webring"
>>3062>we already have six friend sitesYet there's still not many user post in here.
>>3072>add frogposting back>activity explodesI wonder…
>>3073Do you normally see frog poster post on comfy or smug? I don't see any of it. Its not like you can't get rid some of the boards listed that you don't like from webring.
>>3074I don't waste my time on those sites. They're probably very uninteresting and uncreative as this board minus some frogs. Just a poisonous nostalgic rehash of the past that no longer exists, nor should it. I barely even use 4chan anymore. Might as well bring some of that cross site board culture back in here and see what happens.
>>3075>They're probably very uninteresting and uncreative as this board minus some frogs. Just a poisonous nostalgic rehashThis has to be one of the dumbest reasoning I have ever read, Are you even being rational here?
What is so poisonous about having image board like /comfy/ or smug as a whole being active on the internet. What with those boards have anything to do with nostalgia in the first place? They exist because it's a part niche tradition of having an image board, same as why we do it here. Look, I'm trying to give a suggestion and I think having this place listed in a webring would be a net postive to boost up trafic on wapchan. There are communities that I don't like on certain imageboards but that doesnt mean all of other communities are cencerous zealots especially the one that are listed in the webring. Any web admin knows how to opt-out certain cancerous boards out of their webring list so that their imageboard are not listed on the other side of the webring host, it's really that simple.
>>3081Not anon but I feel that if whatever place you’re mentioning has suspicious people they could try to take advantage of this website. This is a retro anime website first, we cannot lose our identity
>>3081I put a lot of effort into the webring. Not saying who I am. It's dead. It was dead 3 months after we made it. It is a good idea that was ruined by the exact type of people that continue to use it. You'll notice smug doesn't interact with the rest of the webring at all. That's for good reason. Most of it is trash.
A small group of like 10 people ruined the fun for everyone and killed it within a month. All because they tried to drive traffic into their own instance instead of letting people spread out organically.
You will gain nothing from linking to the webring. I'm not sure why smug even continues to link to it. There is nothing of value on it. It's a handful of imageboards all with admins that all tried to kill the project off to drive traffic to their own boards. Who did nothing but complain about how other boards in the ring were moderated. Who bullied, doxed and spammed cp all over multiple boards that no longer exist because the admins of them had enough sense to get out while the getting was good. You can thank /tv/ and /v/ for most of the trouble. Although /cow/ certainly didn't help either (/cow/ was already mostly dead at that point. Since /v/ and /tv/ had been raging war with it for a long time because they didn't want threads about their admins on the board).
Just let it die.
>>442guerilla advertising might work
i found this place from
https://twitter.com/figamin/status/1979687261265605058 (hi im newfren thanks for the welcome message) and i thought it was funny so i made this
>>3061i do think it would be cool to form a more solid webring. don't join THE webring but use the webring feature from vichan.
that captcha tweet huh
I didnt find out about this site because the funni captcha tweet, but its what pushing me to visit it more.
I just want to comment that while high speed posting can be fun, slow posting has a lot of virtues that are missing in the Current Year internet, for example, it gives the anons proper time to develop their ideas, be it posts, drawings, long term projects, it gives newfriends time to actually lurk moar, study older posts, I myself spend the last hour reading through this thread, even if most zoomers take the corporate "Forever Stream" approach as the gold standard for the net, that its actually going to FUCKING DIE due the rise of AI bullshit, mainstream sites are probably gonna end up like facebook, in weird limbo where they are not dead yet but irrelevant, only kept alive because most moneymen are old and still think about it as the future.
>>3272Y'know, this could be a pretty funny banner if you'd be willing to turn it into one.
I too came from the captcha tweet. I haven't touched the boards in 15 years or so, but this place felt interesting (and also I wanted to play with the captcha a lot, of course).
>>3272I'm genuinely surprised they managed to get filtered by Reimu. 2hu has gotten so mainstream that even those outside of otaku/weaboo culture are at least aware of the most famous characters.
There may be some 4/jp/ migrants coming by. Threads now autosage after 14 days over there.
>>3441What? Why?! Just as long as they don't create any stupid JAV threads.
>>3442>Why?!Typical of administration there, they never announced it and remain silent. Anons figured it out when investigating why they could no longer bump their threads. Depending on who you ask it's one or more of the following:
1. It's to discourage necro-bumping.
2. It's to try to push Touhou off the board.
3. It's to generate activity and attract advertisers.
Since this only really kills the slow, long-term threads I imagine anyone migrating will be accustomed to a relaxed pace anyway.
>>3445I was in that thread and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the raid,thread was dead a long time before the raid
>>3448Was it dead before the 18th?
>>3449Nah, they 100% saw it. It was still up on October 13th. 5 days before the raid. It probably died out after the raid failed. They may have image reversed the lum images and found the site that way.
here's an archive of /qa/'s catalog on october 13th if you don't believe me:

>but they failed the captchasSome of the them did break through. The less intelligent raiders probably had a hard time, which led to that infamous post.
>>3453>>3452>>3450>Spam detectedIt's not in first 5 pages iirc, so no one would care about it uless someone bumped
>>3454oops forgot to close the sage
>>3454>spamI've been having problems with wapchan's reply system. I hit reply but the post doesn't show up until later. Sometimes it works, then the other replys I tried to post originally show up afterwards.
>It's not in first 5 pages iirc, so no one would care about it uless someone bumpedPeople can scroll down the page you know. Through the catalog. There was like tons of spam in the screenshot. There's no way that was a coincidence, it was definitely linked in some way.
>>3456I am not actually sure why this happens to be honest since it's inconsistent.
At some point I'll look into it further
>>3456They literally raiding and spam their own /qa/ daily
>>442By 4chan making mistakes, which it did with newest 4/jp/'s bumplock on threads that get oldish.
Spreading the word about wapchan. I found wapchan through another forum
