General to do list mys_elf Board owner 06/29/2021 (Tue) 19:33:43 Id:965149 No. 5 [Reply] [Last]

A list of things that I will (probably) do at some point or another. In no strict order: >Add support to Clover/possibly Kuroba I have absolutely no experience with Android development, so if (you) do it would be nice if you let me know in thread. Might have some questions for you. In general I am looking at modifying a copy of the vichan code to do this. Both vichan and Lynxchan use .json APIs, so hopefully that shouldn't be too difficult to convert. Since Lynxchan doesn't return an index.json, probably won't get the non-catalog view to work perfectly right. Main problem I foresee is with captcha as that's likely going to take a bit more to figure out. The site should only require captcha if it gets a certain number of PPH, but it is important for the app to support it. Have only just started poking around with things, so development is still early yet on this. >Improve the gallery view >Investigate the possibility of catalog mode in the overboard >Add warn/ban reason editable dropdown >Possibly integrate >>114 >(you)s on backlinks >Thread stats in page -Change images to files

One suggestion I have is that pinned threads stil get bumped past the bumplimit. I use the overboard view a lot, and while the townhall is pinned on /fim/ itself, it never shows up on the overboard anymore after the 500 mark.

Why or why not? Have you ever been to one? Which one? (These two questions are just for fun and bear no relevancy to the application process, the important bit is the post number)

Tools and scripts mys_elf Board owner 06/29/2021 (Tue) 02:17:18 Id:2dfb77 No. 4 [Reply] [Last]

Some tools and scripts that pertain to the site. >(you) persist userscript. https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/nhnb-you-persist For when you don't like to store browser data but would like to preserve your (you)s. Not totally happy with the operation of it, but it works well enough for now. Will update at some point in the future. >Private Boards addon https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/Private-Boards An addon to require login on certain boards. >PenMod https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/PenMod The frontend for this site. Uncreative name included. >Lynxscripts https://gitgud.io/mys_elf/lynxscripts A couple of scripts contained here. archiveLimiter.py can prune the archive to a set number of threads. fileLimiter.py will prune the oldest images first to keep disk space usage within a set amount. Useful when operating on limited disk space. autoLynx.sh is a shell script to automatically set up a Lynxchan instance. Useful for setting up a testing environment.

The State of This Site Anonymous 08/28/2022 (Sun) 23:17:31 Id:3ec90a No. 450 [Reply]

I hate that I even have to be making a thread like this, but things have been building up, and it's time to have a discussion. I'm feeling very frustrated. I love this place and have been around since the beginning, and have put in a lot of hours and some of my own money trying to help it grow, but I'm quickly losing faith in the future of this site based on the way things are going. First of all, why are blatant troll, schizo and other similar posts designed solely to disrupt and make people mad being left alone? There's been several cases of this in threads now where someone's clearly just trying to stir shit up, leaving a perfectly good thread derailed in the wake. But nothing happens, it's just left there for months, potentially stifling further future growth of that thread. Second, and on a much more serious note, now this sites on the radar of actual, unironic CP bots, and that shit is getting left up for hours. As an artist, I've wanted to help bringing attention to this site through pony art that gets sourced back to here, but now I can't do that anymore. I don't want my name to be associated with somewhere that has a very real possibility of someone clicking a link, only to have some kid getting dicked be the first thing they see. What's the plan of action here? How can these problems be addressed? I really hate this timeline. These last couple of years have really felt like the old fandom surrounding pony is withering away rapidly. G5 is a flop, /mlp/ is as much of a dumpster fire as its ever been, and alternative places to discuss anything related are drying up. >Fansites are dead >Forums are dead >Imageboards are dying What's left, really? Reddit? Discord? It's a bleak outlook. All I want is a place to post and discuss cute poners in peace without all the cancer that has infested the present day internet.

Ignore bait. Disregard spam. Really, this shit has been going on since the Golden Age of 4chan. It ain't no thing.

mys_elf Board owner 08/29/2022 (Mon) 19:37:00 Id:6f019f No. 452

>>450 I think things are exaggerated a fair bit here. While we do have bots from time to time, we take appropriate action against them and will continue to do so. Thread derailment is a pretty rare occurrence around here. It has happened, and we have cleaned it up before. Should Anons be unhappy about the resolution of things, I would hope they would come to /qa/ so we can discuss what would have been a better outcome. And if you see something against the rules, report it, and a staff member will review it. If you have examples feel free to link them here or directly report them.

>>452 I thought this was a troll thread at first.

Anonymous 08/29/2022 (Mon) 22:45:48 Id:a03a76 No. 454

Honestly /mlp/ has the same problem. The difference here is that there's less staff to delete threads 24/7. this month alone, actual genital gore was posted on there and it was up for at least 15 minutes.

Anonymous 05/13/2025 (Tue) 19:14:31 Id:da8b99 No. 808

CP bots create threads here almost daily and the board is very slow so it's not a small problem in my opinion

Effectiveness of Advertising Anonymous 08/30/2021 (Mon) 23:19:31 Id:b486fd No. 229 [Reply]

Out of curiosity, is there any data available in regards to web referrals and direct links to here? I always make an effort to drop a mention of here on /mlp/ when an appropriate moment arises, but I'm also interested if links from other places are being fruitful at all or not. For example, on fimfic I include a link in the Author's Notes to a specific thread. I know some people from there have visited here since they comment on it, but I've been wondering just how many that number may be.

>>229 Pic rel is likely the best I can offer as far as stats. I do think that mentioning the site were appropriate is probably the best form of "advertising" and is more likely to get people interested in the site vs a literal advertisement. >I always make an effort to drop a mention of here on /mlp/ when an appropriate moment arises It is appreciated, thank you for that and for the content that you create.

what is this exactly? also many times happens that i actually answering the captchas right but it says failed no i am not spamming anything

mys_elf Board owner 05/03/2025 (Sat) 02:04:32 Id:94a3d0 No. 806

>>803 The block bypass is intended to work as an alternative to captcha on every post (when board activity is low enough). Each bypass only buys so many posts before you need to get another one. I've been adjusting the site configuration for it over the past while. The way it is now set up, you should not be able to burn through a bypass before it expires due to age (and another one automatically requested). If you have issues, you can manually delete your bypass cookie to request another one. Sorry for the delayed response.
