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.

>I don't know your game.
There's no game or stratagem here: I just have minimal interest in responding to a version of my post that only exists in your head. The head admin got my actual point right away, and that's really all that matters.

I will say that if you're this prone to misinterpreting very simple comments, then it paints an unhappy picture of what this thread would look like if we did have a table of rules, even if those rules were very clearly laid out.

Anon, there's no point in making a scene over something so trivial: it won't help. Just accept the fact that BlackHand doesn't want to get involved in this at all, becose not only does he have the right to that stance, but it’s also a decision that makes perfect sense logically.

You invented a version of our behavior in your head, defeated it in your head, and now you're accusing us of not accepting the viewpoint the concocted in your head. I think you're smart enough to realize how stupid that is.

>The "one image per board" rule comes from classic 4chan, which plus4chan is based on.
Different anon, but I wonder if this partly (I underline, partly) explains why 4chan stopped being a meme factory? I remember how (in those misty, far-off days) if you wanted to post a meme but found it'd been posted already, you'd open up MSPaint, make your own take on the meme and post that instead. Sure, you saw a lot of variations on the same theme, but the variations also served as inspiration for new memes. But lifting the "one-image-per-board" rule removed the incentive to make things yourself, resulting in a new board culture where anons passively saved and reposted ready-made material.

Those faggots obsessed with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are super annoying
Like, how important are those two countries to justify this level of obsession?, I myself didn't even know Palestine existed until they started bitching about their pro-palestine propaganda

The TLDR is that Palestine is a former british colony, where muslims have lived for some 1300+ years, that was "gifted" to the jews and they built Israel in the area and have been constantly genociding the natives so they can get more living space for themselves. It's basically the exact same thing as what Nazi Germany did. So you can understand that it's kind of a big deal; if it's not a big deal then by extension what the Nazis did is OK as well.

And Israel kind of runs the US as well as most western nations. So when they do systematic genocide, that's kind of a big deal.

Starting one because I have a question but let's have it be general purpose for anyone that comes along.

I was messing around and broke one of the fans on the laptop cooling pad/stand I have it sitting on.
Need to replace it, does anyone have advice on what model I should buy this time?

The old one just had two fans, one of my friends sent me it.

You can still buy dumb phones that can do phone/texts just fine.

The real con is that things like banking apps get compiled with higher and higher SDK versions, so you need to get newer phones after a while or they stop working completely. Then again my last phone was 10 years old when this happened.

I got a Poco phone specifically to install Lineage OS on it and I haven't had any issues with baking apps so far.
That being said, I don't have high hopes my bank would eventually crack down on custom ROMs; no idea what to do if that happens, maybe I'm going to give up with banking apps and keep an android phone at home while going out with my LOS

On a related note, I have a basic plan of like 5GB of phone data per month and my friend is astonished I can get around with it, when we compared data usage he had like 10 times of what I use every month, so either he has a virus or his Android version does some stupid shit that burns the data like crazy.

You're telling me this company has been using soul catching tornados to clear land for data centres and they couldn't be assed enough to use some of that land to build a front for CYLCONshell?

They putting too much effort into stopping Hunter and not enough in actually keeping their internet soul machine conspiracy a secret and honestly even that isn't the best, between sending some random guy to fire a gun in his general direction or teleporting the Behemoth to eat him. If all of this is just for faster internet but they sure aren't using it to get smarter.

Their tornado machine is out in the open floating above a corn field for christ sake, if it wasn't Hunter uncovering this shit it would be the random farmer down the road.

POST YOUR DREAMS!

My last one was something that could make a decent fanfiction. It was a mashup of Prometheus, Avengers, and Pacific Rim. Basically, it is the future, and anti-gravity vehicles are the norm. The dream starts somewhere far away, where an Architect was revived from deep sleep. He vows to destroy mankind, his creation, because we are not perfect. He says all that telepathically, due to his vocal chords being cut. He calls his fellow architects, and they get together a fleet of spaceships to fly to Earth and destroy it. I am one of the few humans who learn of this first (forgot how), and I learn hat while at a picnic with a larger group of people, in a forest. After seeing the ships approach and leveling the forest, I grab the nearest speeder bike (junk, but operational and defies gravity!) and ride to my home. After I get there, I tell everyone the news (they are my friends in the dream, despite being complete strangers now that I look back). So, from the windows of the apartment, we see the Architect ships (different than the ones from Prometheus) slowly destroy the city. The human race then decides to quickly go through with a defense program. To fight monsters, we will create monsters. Very quickly. But instead of giants robots, we use magical bullshit science to make superheroes out of people. Those superheroes would make a defense team strong enough to defeat all the asshole creator aliens. The plan is successful, and my dream ends with the first batch of superheroes testing their new powers before going to fight the Architects. I also remember there being one lizard girl testing her freeze powers and looking happy after seeing they worked.

Anything you seen in your sleep worthy of talking about?

Had essentially a minor nightmare about not being able to stay awake.
Was in the city centre trying to get home and kept passing out, waking up again somewhere else in the city centre having pretty much lost all progress or a couple of times in odder situations (one point i'd been seemingly kidnapped by some old lady serial killer and brought to her flat but wasn't very scary, beat her down when she tried to bring out a chainsaw, the frustration of not being able to stay awake and get home was a way stronger emotion).
