/imgbc/ - Imageboard Culture

>>336

The rule system doesn't have to be a 100% accurate portrayal of the internet.

For a calendar system, how about 1 real-world month equals 1 in-universe year? Since a month in real-world time seems to be much longer in "internet time", at least in regards to events. A war in the real world could last years, while a shitstorm online is lucky to last a few months. Basically, events come and go much faster online than they do in the real world, so maybe time should be adjusted accordingly.

What would be a good starting point for the calendar, though? I personally prefer Eternal September, which would make the current year 261. In-universe, it could be called it the "Loa calendar" (AOL backwards) or "Ameron calendar" (AMERica ONline) or something like that.

The release of Ay O'El was a disaster in retrospect, but also a godsend. That might be a good idea, but naming certainly needs work.

If going by chan-centric then the first post on 4chan might be a good start.

We should start a new thread on /tg/.

So gamergate has been going on for 11 e-years.

I starting lurking for animu pics in 4chan without knowing nothing about imageboard culture, like, many years ago, i dont know, maybe 2003-2005, maybe earlier, i dont know, then many years later i was still lurking but sometimes going futher , like in /b/ , but it was so scary for me because they used to post more gore thing like they do on these days

and well, years later i learn more about, exploring more and more, and then knowing about other imageboard than 4chon, and yeah

and oh well, i just starting to post on imageboards since 1 or 2 years ago, before it was just lurking

>2003-2005

Imageboard culture hadn't even properly formed by then. There wasn't anything to not know about.

Kirtaner was talking shit about gamergate on twitter a while back. Don't have the screencaps though.

To my understanding it was everyone you'd usually expect to facilitate open discussion. Only those few subreddits, the escapist, giantbomb?, and 8chan allowed or endorsed it in any meaningful amount.

The small chans have always been shit at discussing anything. Either not enough mods, not well enough coded, or too strict on what fits 'on topic'.

It's not exactly UNIX time since there are 3 extra digits at the end probably counting down to milliseconds.

Slashing last 3 digits you can do (on Unix)

date -d @1100000000#for a bit better format
date -d @1100000000 +%F
#or
date -d @1100000000 +"%s: %F"

I had lots of stuff from 2006-7s then data loss happened.

While I think this naming scheme is cool, I also equally like SHA-1 hash as the file name. It has practical use for passive deduplication. It's also used on nntpchan since because of its decentralized nature, it's very helpful to make file names rely only on the file itself instead of instantly having to check between every node for duplicates and stuff.

On another thought, it always bothered me why hashes are encoded into hex instead of URI friendly Base64.

Yet another thought, if you don't care about detecting duplicates before saving, you can do something like timestamp+CRC32

>amazed at how weird imageboard culture was in the 2000s and 2010s.

I find it both more innocent and ballsy at the same time.
