dr - Postmortem Duck ## Admin 02/10/19 (Sun) 02:49:59 No. 293 [Reply]

Hey all, I have a bit of unfortunate news.

In the past couple of hours, we received a heavy influx of spam on /dr/, /gf/, and /nos/.

The spam was in the order of ~300 posts, seemingly originating from Hispachan users.

I have been friendly with Hispachan since the inception of Dreamchan, so why this was done is a little baffling but these things just go with operating an imageboard.

The casualty in all this is while cleaning up the extensive, interwoven spam, all of the posts on /dr/ were deleted accidentally, along with accompanying images and thumbnails.

I was able to restore ~600 posts without images, so those are back up at this time (about half of the original amount)

After doing my best to fix this, I immediately tweaked how backups are performed and saved. Going forward we should not lose more than 2 days posts at a time (which given the speed of the site should be fine, I will adjust this as needed)

My sincerest apologies for those who had their posts removed, there were certainly some beautiful dreams and sentiments there.

Zeta,

If this is indeed you, then nice to meet you.

I understand, and as I've said, spam is just the reality of operating an image board. Even captcha or other flooding measures are only so effective, so it is part of the game.

The only reason I made this write-up was the regrettable casualty of posts, and I just want to make sure everyone knows what lead up to it.

I'm sorry that this is something you've had to deal with from your userbase as the site has gone on. I really have next to no knowledge of your site's culture so I will avoid further comment and refrain from giving any suggestions as to how you might deal with it :)

I wish you the best, feel free to come around any time.

Duck,

I wanted to thank you for making this site. I never knew I needed it until I found it. I've seen too many small chans die because of lack of activity, and it would pain me to see it happen to here as well. Please continue to admin it, no matter what happens. Don't get discouraged, and know that we all are rooting for you.

Friend, thank you so much for those words, I'm so glad you enjoy it.

Rest assured my enthusiasm for Dreamchan today is just as strong as it's ever been. Maybe there will come a day of great inactivity, but I plan to always keep it up for anyone who wants to look around.

I second this. I just got here a few days ago, after many many years on assorted chans. I think this is the first place I've found where the anons treat each other like human beings, without any needless trashtalking or arguing for the sake of argument alone. It's nice.

is there any way to have gifs "play" without having to click them first? i see this on other imageboards and sort of miss it on here.

i've been on here just a few months but i really love it so far. thank u, admins

Good to know you, friend :)

I'm glad you brought this up because it actually ties in to something on my to-do list for Dreamchan this year.

I'd like to have a panel of client side, user configured settings, so that you can have your own preferences for things. Auto gif would definitely be one of those items, as those who don't want to download anything more than the thumbnail initially should be able to keep that option.

I had a few ideas for other items for the settings page, but if you have any more, feel free to leave them here. Thanks!

Tor posting Anonymous 10/05/17 (Thu) 07:48:11 No. 175 [Reply]

Why have you banned Tor posting? And can you allow it? I think it's good practice to always post on imageboards from Tor, and I usually do so. It's a huge nuisance to be banned from using your imageboard when I've done nothing wrong, and it's really comfy here.

Duck ## Admin 10/05/17 (Thu) 08:00:28 No.176

>>175
To be honest, I never explicitly banned it.

The default configuration of the Tinyboard software is to add tor exit nodes to its DNS blacklist. I don't use tor myself, nor have I been approached about it until now, so I guess I haven't given it thought.

I've gone ahead and updated the blacklist to allow tor nodes, can you go ahead and try it now and tell me how it works? I'll help troubleshoot what I can.

4chon on maintenance Anonymous 12/19/18 (Wed) 01:04:41 No. 281 [Reply]

Is it a good time to bring in some traffic? Dont know personally if its a good idea or not though

What do you mean, as in a good time to advertise?

More are always welcome of course, as long as they are looking to relax too :)

4chan is on maintenance as of right now(dont know long it will last) so i think its a decent time to do it.

Duck ## Admin 12/19/18 (Wed) 08:10:07 No.284

>>283
Sure, I can get an ad buy going, though timing wise I'm not sure if it will be live before the maintenance is over, unless it last another day or two for some reason.

Really the only place I have advertised in the past is 8ch, (there was once a very brief 4chan banner)

Do you have any suggestions for other platforms to post an ad on? I want to reach likeminded friends but I don't think I want to advertise on another chan of similar size.

Anonymous 12/19/18 (Wed) 19:13:23 No.285

Oh well maint over. Never thought about it throughly on the advertising though just wanted to throw a suggestion

Nope, the Halloween one is good enough (looking at you, October…)

Pic is unrelated and semi-random because for some reason my thumbnail cache clears itself, so I can still see folders but won't know what this pic is until I upload it!
