While 4chan has been hacked before this is bigger than any other time.
Even if we do rebound the site will never be the same (then again it was always heading to become a rotting corpse made irrelevant in infamy)

well fuck, I don't think anyone saw that coming. and right before one of the best days, too. so, what you guys think we should do? we can wait it out, but it's uncertain if or when it will be back. I could post in another site, but I understand many of them do their own thing and I wouldn't know if starting a storytime would be cool with all of them. it's also a given that some people would probably miss it, even with the warning on /ghost/.
over on wapchan they set up a board for displaced generals, maybe we could use it. or stick around here too.

I know a couple, but most are dedicated to more specific topics and don't even have a /co/ board, it would definitely be rude to barge in. 8chan dot moe is one that allows board creation and even to make them invisible. it went down because of the sudden influx but just came back.
wapchan is another with the aforementioned general board
plus4chan looks ok, but I don't know if storytimes are allowed.

Enmanon is a good samurai. I'm glad you made it, Murderanon. Quite frustrating, I hope we didn't lose the newcomers just before the most relaxing story.

Judging by the "Unofficial Sonic Storytime" threads in the catalog that have been active up to March, finishing the storytime here might be an option. It's a tough decision, it'd help if we had an estimate on when the site will be back up. I'm not against waiting a few days, it'll give me time to finish chapter 2, but we probably don't want to wait too long and lose all steam.

We don't prune old threads as of now (due to the slow speed of the boards) so storytimes could get problematic for several reasons.

just for context, the UY storytime is an annual event we've been doing for 8 years now, so there's a lot of people including me invested in seeing it through.

It's nice to contribute to these again, I haven't posted on 4chan since it stopped letting 4chanx users post.

It was a shockingly good marathon this year considering the genuine curse on the board this year. Loved all the actual japan research and that poor guy spending two years researching currency to finally realize Stan didn't. What a hero.

It will have to be, the problem is that the site currently doesn't even have that functionality at all. And if I add it, it will need several layers of protections to prevent spammers from nuking all content.
So I'd need to brainstorm it out first, and I'm too tired lately to do that.

If this is our last year, then my final gift to the storytime is in the mega. A copy of "The Sakai Project," an artbook published by Dark Horse to raise money to help the Sakai's medical bills in 2014 when his first wife Sharon was battling sadly, terminal cancer. It can be found in the appropriately named zip drive.

Lastly, do not give in to despair, my friends. If this truly is the end of 4chan, then we too must exercise "the patience of the spider" as master Ikeda taught us, and wait for our time to rise again.

Speaking of research, I feel foolish for having thought it wouldn't take that long to research what I needed regarding Buddhism. I feel like I just leapt into a rabbit hole with no bottom, and now here I am reading sutras, treatises, attempting to hunt down debates of the era between sects, criticizing Joto Shin Buddhism, etc.

I'm hoping my writing Chapter 2 is passable and not too inaccurate, but it seems like a subject one could easily spend years on.

Any clue what Mayumi uses to tie her hair? We can see it is fully circular since we see both sides of it, so it probably isn't a ribbon. It looks like an elastic hair tie but that's a very modern invention. Most other characters with tied hair more obvious use ribbons and whatnot and I couldn't find one that wears something similar to what Mayumi uses.

And what do you think is her hair length? She might just have a shoulder length ponytail, but the consistent sort of blob-like shape makes me think the hair loops back under her tie and is longer than shoulder length.

That did, thanks. That lead me to Geisha hairstyles, which lead to me learning what a 'kanoko' is, which is a sort of fabric tube used for hair styling which existed at the time. On the left is a homemade kanoko which I imagine would resemble what Mayumi would have, and would likely not be dyed. Dyed kanoko shibori fabrics were apparently so expensive during the Edo period that the Shogunate actually intervened and put price controls on it, I doubt a commoner would have such a luxury. I haven't found Mayumi's specific hair style, but I found this image on the right that atleast looks similar to Mayumi's hairstyle, sort of a bunned ponytail but tied a little lower than in the image.
