UPDATE: Shit's fucked, Josh has gone full Chris-chan with his utter ineptitude in fixing next, and Hotwheels has more or less done nothing to respond to people's concerns. I recommend that everybody migrate to https://endchan.xyz/vr/ to avoid the oncoming storm. I own the board, I help run the site, and it's running on an engine that's basically what Infinity Next was supposed to be. If you need me, that's where I'll be.

PSA: 8chan will be migrating to Infinity Next soon.

It's nowhere near finished, the developer is a meme-spouting faggot who got fired from programming for CWCiki for incompetence, and everybody from /v/ to /tech/ has complained that the board software is buggy, ugly, and effectively shoehorns a framework for a Reddit clone into the imageboard format. But our Fearless Leader has decided that Infinity simply cannot be used in its current state, so all board and post data is being migrated to Infinity Next within the next day or so.

You can read about the migration process, try out infinity next, and tell Josh to go kill himself here:

https://beta.8ch.net/next/thread/5126

Lel, just read the ghostbin linked in the page header.

Which means slower, smaller boards - the very reason of the site's appeal (as we all know splitting off larger boards just doesn't work) are doomed to die.

All-in-all, nice site suicide note. It was fun while it lasted.

>>>/next/3556

Migration will be happening in the background SOON(tm). Looks like we're all going to be looking for somewhere else to call home. I'm going to take a moment to shill something me and a /tech/nololi have been working on:

https://endchan.xyz/vr/

The frontend is not entirely finished, but the engine is mature and we have people who aren't shit developing. It's better than going back to 4chan, at any rate.

See you on the other side, everyone.

inb4 people mash random and make one post in every dead board to stall the migration

Fix your damn certificates before scaring users off with that SSL.

Also, my head is starting to spin from all the tiny spin-off chans that are dying left and right. There is nothing inherently wrong with small but good userbases, but, in my opinion, it is starting to look not viable, all-in-all.

Also, fix your global #3. It's not like anyone is going to be doing any doxing in clearnets now anyway, but I guess I understand not wanting to deal with all the hassle that can come out of it.

>>4369

Let's Encrypt only gives out DV certs. And by the way, the website you're using signs its TLS with a DV certificate, so there's literally no change. (Well, there is one change: the domain endchan.xyz isn't backed by CloudFlare. As long as I have my way it never will, because CloudFlare is essentially a well-marketed MITM attack and that shit just seems fishy to me. And before you ask, I'm aware that 8chan was forced into using CloudFlare.)

Noted, thanks. I thought that the other faggot running the server had already replaced the placeholder "don't hurt me" global rules.

Ugh, I keep forgetting SSL is obsolete now.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. As in, I understand. Users who see scary "THIS PLACE MIGHT BE DANGEROUS CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY" are a different matter entirely. That's the only thing I was talking about.

Sadly it already looks like it is already shaping to become merely a new vessel for the same kind of shit that plagues 8chan currently. At least it can serve as containment, I suppose.

I can't believe this shit. Thank goodness we're not going to lose twelve million smug anime reaction images, guys!

I am kind of impressed that he didn't shut down 8chan for the duration (on purpose or otherwise), but I know nothing about coding and therefore it wouldn't take much to impress me.

No, not about what you so artfully greentexted about, but rather about attitude. /v/ is already for shitposting, /b/ is already for slightly worse shitposting, /pol/ is already huge in comparison to others and keeps the same ebin maymays as its cornerstone. Give it several months and it'll be just like 8chan content-wise, of the hopeless, modern day variety.

But anons do need a place to endlessly repeat the same things over and over again, without creating or learning something new, so I guess that's a good thing.

>there's maybe ten threads on /v/

Do exactly what /svidya/ did when it was set up, m80: post - actually fucking post the content you want to see - instead of creating a meta thread about how everything is dildos.

Or continue being a salty cunt.

>>there's maybe ten threads on /v/

>>OH GOD ONLY SHITPOSTING ALL IS LOST

I concur that there is some truth in this, but, unless there will be a massive migration that will swipe away the core that is being formed now, the attitude you set at the beginning will define everything forever. "It has been this way on 4chan for years!"

>Do exactly what /svidya/ did when it was set up, m80: post - actually fucking post the content you want to see

I like the vidya-related content I see there already. I can see a couple of threads I can make a few posts to. This is the better way of participating for me as my threads rarely take off well enough.

I will probably make a few threads anyway if I'll see things are going the right way in general.

>instead of creating a meta thread about how everything is dildos.

As far as I can remember, I've never created one outside of a dedicated meta board, and I'm definitely not about to start. A certain board owner on that site, however…

>Or continue being a salty cunt.

I've been too burned trying to help keep /v/ in better shape over about 10 months. And trying to do the same on several other boards. If I knew things were going to turn out the way they are, I'd only go here for my video gaming needs as I'm mostly interested in older games anyway. It is just there still was place for them on /v/ for the longest time, I saw no reason to split into several boards like we did back on 4chan.

We shall see. If the majority from modern /v/, /b/ and the like are not only allowed to flourish but also encouraged, then I won't be wasting time and effort on the chan, sorry.

You're not really getting this, are you? Get in there and flood out the trash as best you can. Whether you're posting threads or posting in current ones, the end effect ought be the same: improving the quality of everything by making quality posts.

>too burned out

/v/'s been dead for a long fucking time, son.

Everyone that cared enough made to make the switch to something like /svidya/ already did so. Yes, it's slower, but there's also very little shitposting and no e-drama (save when the mod was stupid enough to give /v/refugees their own thread…).

tl;dr: if you want to give in, I can't blame you. But you're obviously not a complete shitter, and the only way to have decent boards with decent content is for people who give half a damn to post as often as they can.

>>I'll only post if I deem the board worthy of my standards

>You're not really getting this, are you?

No, it is you who are not getting it. And no putting of your words in my mouth can change it. I said I'm going to stay and contribute as much as I can if the board is "worthy of my standards", which, apparently are unattainably high, what with them requiring it not being a fucking train-wreck heading straight into a colossal mountain of shit.

>Get in there and flood out the trash as best you can.

Way ahead of you.

>/v/'s been dead for a long fucking time, son.

And I refused to let it go and kept trying, "dad".

>Everyone that cared enough made to make the switch to something like /svidya/ already did so. Yes, it's slower, but there's also very little shitposting and no e-drama (save when the mod was stupid enough to give /v/refugees their own thread…).

/svidya/ went too far into the opposite direction. It's like people on this chan accept either slavery or complete anarchy, nothing in-between.

I stuck it out on halfchan longer than I should, and I just realised I've made the same mistake with this place: I was pissed off at it being broken, and our admin apparently deserting us, but I let myself become inured to it again because, hey, it's home (yes, >>4391, I am a hypocritical son of a bitch)

Thanks again for giving us a place to doss, Balrog, and I hope with an admin like yourself and enough posters like the guy above you, we'll be able to make imageboards great again.
