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 looked like someone was systematically opening every single report/delete link for every post (just once), then proceeding to download every single thread (up to 2088 different IPs simultaneously for each thread). Most of it came from AS6939 Hurricane Electric.

Cleantalk shows that this ASN started mass spamming at an increasing rate in the last 3 months, so maybe someone is just training their AI bots. But why download every thread over 2000 times then, why not just once?

For "an anon", we can perhaps substitute "staff member", since they were also showing anons how to whitelist the domains themselves in the meantime.

>I specifically recall some guy spitting out the "London is 99% migrants" bullshit, I gave him a lengthy post explaining him that's propaganda pushed by right wing when in reality most London migrants are from Eastern Europe, and then he just didn't reply and repeated the exact same crap a couple of hours later.

If it happened here it may have been me, because fact is that my eastern European mom lives and works in London, and according to her, on the streets she almost only sees migrants: indians, muslims, africans, etc. The only time she doesn't is at her work (she has a relatively fancy gig on account of working so hard that it is detrimental to her health), or in the small diaspora circle she lives in.
Even when I watched my nephew graduating from college in the UK, he was the whitest dude in the crowd. Half the people grabbing their diplomas were black or indian.

It wasn't here, it was another IB like 5 years ago. And it wasn't anecdotal evidence either, the guy was showing an article from some bullshit right wing propaganda website that has been debunked plenty times before. And it's fine, not everybody is looking for propaganda and bad faith actors when they hook into internet but the fact that the guy didn't even wait a day for posting the exact same thing and spewing the exact same fear mongering garbage proofs me he didn't have good intentions in the first place, at best he wants to ragebait people because he thinks it's funny and at worse he's psyoping anons.

Another example from the same place is when someone showed an article titled "Mohammad is the most common baby name in London" and wanted to use it as argument for "the brit bongs are disappearing". So I took a closer look, I made the math and posted a lengthy post the article is rather exaggerating. See, this data is open, so I downloaded the spreadsheets and noticed "most common" means 1/130 babies born in that specific year (I think it was 2024) were named Mohammad, 0,7% percent and the other names were from English origin, so this rather shows how the migratory patterns in England are influenced by its colonial past: also most Muslims are named Mohammad for religious reasons, similarly of how most Hispanics are named Jesus, Jose and other biblical names. The article was very transparent on what it wanted to say, it wasn't fearmongering, but the anon who shared it was and the thread devolved into more of it while they ignored my post basically saying OP is full of bullshit.

What really pisses me off is the misinterpretation of real data trying to push an agenda and then repeating it ad nauseam until people who are not aware of the bad intentions start believing it. I do know it's not limited to the right wing, but it's abysmally more common on IBs, heck, I've eve...

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?
