Deleting Boards Anonymous Board owner 05/02/2020 (Sat) 09:49:50 No.10741
This thread is for boards that are going to be deleted. All boards up for deletion will be given a minimum of seven days notification before it happens to allow them to be evacuated. It's not fun to cull boards, but it is necessary for the health of Anon.cafe and the health of the webring. There are no set criteria for deletion, but factors that make a board more likely to be deleted include long inactivity (if that board is not a bunker) with no signs of revival, a long-absent owner (if that board is not a bunker), very low post count/indications of stillbirth, and other factors that indicate the board has likely calcified and is unlikely to revive. Well-maintained, unindexed bunkers will not be deleted unless their community appears to have disappeared entirely. As of now - Saturday May 02, 2020 at 0935 - the following boards have been selected for deletion: >>>/girltalk/ >>>/lovelive/ >>>/mh/ >>>/psyid/ >>>/int/ >>>/nofap/ Boards at risk of being considered stillborn include: >>>/hentaiclub/ Boards that have had no activity but are presently exempt from being considered stillborn because of Julay.world's circumstances include: >>>/icup/ >>>/loomis/

>>15175 You could always post on /p/. The criteria seems to be fairly low- mainly that the board has a functioning BO who checks in periodically and/or that people are semi-actively using the board (if it's not a bunker). I mean, at least in /doll/, /islam/, and /fa/'s case it looks like they maybe have one discussion per month at best, and /p/ doesn't look far off. If you post in threads for boards you like, I know a lot of anons do look at the webring widget and it does bump the board there. That's the only reason I remember to go visit /kind/ half the time.

Deleted /x/ yesterday, ripip sweet child, i achieved the few threads left if some are interested. I'll probably repost some of them in their respective niche threads in /server/ or /islam/.

I don't know where to post this, but what is up with sportchan? It barely links back to webring and doesn't even follow cafe and zzz, and still follows 8moe. Last activity doesn't work on both ends for some reason. And there isn't /meta/ I could find there. I don't mind the site but their webring plugin is strange
Anonymous 10/31/2021 (Sun) 04:16:24 No.15230
>>15226 Their webring plugin is broke and they don't know how to fix it/don't understand advice offered to them from what I recall. They asked for their numbers to be frozen until they can fix the plugin but to still display them in the webring, to which at least a few boards must have agreed to since that's what it does. That was a year ago?

Why not freeze/lock dead boards instead of deleting them if they retain some legacy?

If I had my way about a third of the thread would be nuked from orbit. Unfortunately that would kill the board and is bad for growth.

>>15544 Unless it conflicts with global rules, threatens the site, or otherwise warrants global staff's intervention - which being "on some fuck shit" does not - /k/'s moderation is a matter for /k/'s Board Owner.

>>15169 >>16059 I'd be interested in ownership of /agdg/ if the board is up for grabs. First, I'd like to change it from a (8kun bunker board? Can't say for sure as I've never been to that dump) to a proper webring board. I have a few ideas to make it suck less, too, like threads dedicated to technical topics (engine-specifics, graphics and rendering, simulation, art/asset creation, random number generation/random selection, procedural generation, music and sound production, programming languages, etc.) as well as proper "showcase/progress" threads and "questions that don't deserve their own thread" threads so people aren't just shitting all over the place. Let me know, please.

>>16171 We've sent an email to /agdg/'s present owner alerting them that their board is being claimed. If it remains inactive, we'll accept your claim. What account name should /agdg/'s ownership be transferred to if and when the claim goes through?

It obviously keeps me busy but I'll never forget you guys. Just to let you know, I never received any email, but I think it might not have even been listed since I only received ownership of the board after being a janny and the previous guy was gone.

>>16206 Sup. Good to see you're still around. I saw your stuff on itch.io a while ago, got a few little games on there I don't remember seeing in the threads. You working on anything right now? Drop by the board sometime and say hi, I'm sure people would be glad to see you're not dead.
