I've updated the board frontend to the latest work in progress version. This is a total rewrite that purges nearly all old code, which is why it took so long to make. It does not yet have everything I want to add, but it is already five times more powerful than the old site and makes the place so much easier to use. With this update, we are closer to parity with other imageboards out there, both in features, and in site layout, but we are not there yet.


Some highlights are:
- entire front-end rewritten from scratch, with nearly all of the old code base purged from this side (the backend has not been touched to avoid compatibility issues).
- new responsive layout, with a more old school imageboard mode. The layout is based on the browser window size. On desktop PCs, it looks like a traditional imageboard, but on tablet or collapsed windows, it looks like the previous plus4chan layout. I may make a switch later to force either style, should you guys have a preference.

It seems this site is now completely gone, anyone knows what happened to it? I tried emailing the admin but have yet to get a reply. It was a really useful site.

HE is a very large ISP so this is unlikely to be related.

>Four different artists and online personas
That's very impressing if you ask me. I wonder why nobody noticed the similar artstyle to conclude they are the same guy. People did it with Dobson and he was just making another online persona. Maybe because early furry style was all cookie cutter Disney/Tiny Toons artstyle.

Perhaps readers assumed that the personas' artwork was similar because the personas were believed to be part of the same tight-knit group, and had therefore heavily influenced each other, resulting in a homogenous style?

The internet used to be escapism from the real world; the smart people used it to escape from the dumb ass normal people.
Today the dumbass normies use the internet thanks to every smartphone coming with internet hookups, so it became as bad as real life used to be 25+ years ago. It became over saturated, especially with everyone moving to walled garden discord servers (which will start dying this month) instead of public discussion forums..

Not much to add to these posts except that I broadly echo their sentiments. When I think about what the Internet used to be like, and what it could have been like if it hadn't become centralized, overrun by clueless normalfags, beholden to shysters who keep trying to turn it into a cash cow and subject to lobby groups who want to turn it into one big panopticon... well, anons, it just gets me down.

One glimmer of hope is that a number of normalfags have started deliberately doing things like discarding their smartphones and replacing them with flip phones so they escape the Internet. If that trend picks up momentum and spills into other areas, who knows? It just might begin to reverse the damage that's been done to online life.

At least you draw, my hiatus still hasn't ended. As for the "everyone online is out to get the enemy" part, I, an armchair psychiatrist, have a theory. it does not explain ALL of it, but a good chunk. The so called West has had this problem for a long time, at least the Anglosphere definitely did. There is a pervasive idea that "we the civilized westerners have evolved past war and conflict and can just solve all problems with words and by being nice". What this means is complaining is seen as inappropriate behaviour, and anger is basically a sign of dangerous mental illness that must be stamped out. And so, people rarely speak up about what really troubles them, and are ashamed to stand up for themselves. So, all this unspent anger? Well, it piles up and eventually leads to people using Internet as an outlet. Let's find "the conservatard nazis" or "the baby eating satanists", and let's kill them all!!!!!

That's my opinion at least. I think it's right though.

When every other image board has no such limitation then why should this website have it? If it really is supposed to be like old 4chan then there's a reason why the majority prefer new 4chan.

Yes, it's a combination of the original theme from the touhou soundtrack and a remix by COOL&CREATE.

That's not a fetish, it's a fertility idol. Some rumour started going around, that rubbing the crotch of the statue on the grave will let girls have more luck in their love life. As a result so many women did so that the finish of the bronze around the crotch area has worn off.

Apparently they put up a fence but women protested.
