Requesting Boards Anonymous Board owner 09/01/2019 (Sun) 02:54:24 No.3

Self-service board creation is disabled. If you'd like to run a board on anon.cafe, please create an account and then post in this thread with: >The username you created >Board URL (e.g. /meta/) >Board name >Board topic >Would you like the board marked SFW (i.e. no explicit or other adult-only content)? Please review the Global Rules before you request a board. Please also be certain that you are willing to carry out the duties of a board owner. Boards whose owners do not log in for more than two weeks will be marked inactive and put up for claim. Boards that remain dead for an extended period may be deleted if resources need to be freed. We don't grant boards to anyone who asks. Broadly, we'll consider boards that aren't duplicated elsewhere on the webring but we weigh up a variety of factors. Being comfy is a plus! But, in the end it comes down to our private decision. Please specify if you are requesting a board for use as a "bunker", which is a board that will remain inactive and only be used in case your main board hosted elsewhere becomes unavailable. We request that bunker boards remain delisted from the board list and top boards so that we do not pollute the webring with many inactive duplicates of boards. To delist your board, go to Board Management > Settings, check the "Don't index on top boards and board list" box, and click Save. Delisted boards can still be read and posted on, so you can still distribute your new bunker's address to your anons. If your main board becomes inaccessible or you want to turn your bunker into your main board, feel free to relist it by unchecking the aforementioned "Don't index on top boards and board list" box and clicking Save. Please note that because delisted boards can still be posted on, their owners are still expected to log in regularly and clear them of spam or rule-breaking content and that delisted boards whose owners do not log in for some time will still go up for claim as normal. If you keep your bunker clear of spam and rule-breaking content, it will remain unlocked so that posts can be made at any time. If spam or rule-breaking content accumulates, the board will be administratively locked and will only be unlocked by request. By the time we see an unlock request and act on it, your anons may already have been unable to use the bunker for some time. A tidy bunker is a ready bunker.

>>13932 >-ever since they were hosted anon.cafe has been having longer and more regular downtimes I'm not against /fascist/ but also not in favor, this fact that you mention can be correlated with most boards here as anon.cafe had 5 or 6 at most until Julay had the July crisis and many migrated, from one week to another the place had more than 10 and nowadays 33. >either the admin team is biased and does not care for the rules they set or they are compromised From my perspective i think it's a matter of time, like >>13920 said it started as a bunker, then they did actually get a proper page (with /monarchy/), which i frankly don't recall the exact name, but the admin got vanished in a matter of a couple o' weeks and the site taken down in very questionable fashion. He either scrapped their data or was taken by them, who knows but i think it was an european nod so probably the latter, anyways after that small stint the BO there decided to move into 8moe but was warned about their admins so he decided to stay here "for a while more". Their status is bunker but in de facto it's actually their main board, having lurked there in the beginning i can say they never planned to stay and did respect the nature of the site... or at least their BO, which i think is competent. The users, especially the newer ones, are another story.

>>13915 Done. >>>/x/ has been created, set SFW, and user "_bot" has ownership. >>13896 This seems like it might fit our mandate but it also seems like it may end up dead. >>13912 You may request ownership transfer of a board whose owner is inactive. Many owners are active without necessarily being logged in so we attempt to contact the board owner first by email (if they list one with their user account) and posting on the board, then if they don't respond after a reasonable delay, we transfer ownership.

This is a bannable offense? I take back what I said about wanting /x/. The BO is a nigger who would find himself better company on a forum.

>>13945 >BO doesn’t want their board littered with sexualized prepubescent cartoons. Yea fuck him right? In what situation would you post stuff like that on a paranormal board? Aren’t there plenty on boards on the webring for that type of stuff? Seems like the BO wants a straight up SFW /x/ board. What’s wrong with that?

Anonymous 02/14/2021 (Sun) 19:53:57 No.13947

>>13946 Don't you have your own website to moderate, Hanging_Flesh? I will not endorse any shifting of the overton window and that is not a sexualized image. Being able to post reaction images is a natural right of all imageboards, and BO's response is paramount to saying he will not allow free expression and exchange of ideas. At that point he would be better served hosting a forum. Protection of (SFW) loli is the first requirement to having decent moderation. Refusal to allow reaction images of lolis (such as this one which is also a bannable offense on /x/) is equivalent to moderating banning things they don't like instead of things that violate the rules. You can already see his moderating style anyways by the fact that he allegedly deleted another anon's posts for not criticizing Corona enough. Shit board that should stay dead, and I should have never endorsed it.

>>13932 >/fascist/ isn't relaxed though its a prerequisite for boards to be relaxed here It's as relaxed as a politics board can be tbh. I admit that I don't regularly visit it tho, but the last time I checked, the majority of threads on /fascist/ were related to philosophy or religion. >ever since they were hosted anon.cafe has been having longer and more regular downtimes If there are problems with LynxChan software or the host, I doubt it's because of /fascist/ since if /fascist/ was a problem to the hosting company, they would just ask AnonCafe owner to delete it (and the owner has made it clear that if it happens, /fascist/ would have to find a new home) So don't worry. >>13939 > I pointed out that imageboards aren't inherently pro-free speech does not mean I am against it. IIRC, the owner of AnonCafe said once that he is not a fascist but the board was allowed here because of free speech and because /fascist/ didn't have a bunker. Also >>13937 >Anybody with the means and intent to take down anon.cafe is hardly going to because of /otter/, are they? If someone want to take an imageboard down, he can just spam CP while mods are sleeping and contact the hosting company >>13952 What are you talking about? /x/ isn't /fascist/ related board (and never has been)

I'd like to point out that the loli porn spam (that I don't approve of because it jeopardizes the entire website) chronologically started well after >>13945 was posted since it looks like /x/ BO is trying to claim that I started spamming his board. I have done no such thing and only just checked because I noticed their PPH had shot up while checking something unrelated on the webring widget and will not give his board unique IPs. I have no doubts that some autist from /cow/ came through and saw an easy target when they checked /meta/ which had been bumped by that conversation, but I have too much honor to debase myself like that when I say I'm not going to post on a board that already showed its true colors before even reaching 50 posts. Go find a different boogeyman, asshole. You banned fully clothed images of loli and some autist latched onto that fact and trolled you by spamming loli porn, but my hands are clean and now you're just trying to use me as a scapegoat which is disgusting. >>13955 >It's as relaxed as a politics board can be tbh. Their BO deletes entire thread arguments while threatening to kill people whenever a Christian starts to win an argument. That's not what I'd call relaxed.

>found it odd that a site supposed to be relaxed and comfy accepted multiple overtly political and hyper sexualized boards <admin pulls the rug on incredibly established overtly political board for overtly political edgy speech While I don't personally care for /fascist/ and didn't think it should be made in the first place here, I think it's significantly more problematic that you accepted a board that pretty obviously clashed with the ethos of the site only to drop them for posts that were obviously going to be made given the topic of the board. I think it's fair to say you've been incredibly inconsistent with what is and isn't in line with the sites expectations and culture and that has done significant harm to a large communities ecosystem. Denying a board is always going to be more kind than accepting them only to reactively delete their board when they inevitably cause issues given the nature of the topic. I don't want to sound too dramatic because at the end of the day getting super invested in imageboards and meta drama is very unhealthy, but I'd hope you put more thought and consideration into these matters going forward. Even if I don't like a board I don't like to see people getting jerked around because of people that don't know what they want their sites to be.

So Mr. Admin, can i get a date in which i can officially claim it? i don't intend to actually change much other than add a CSS back and maybe make it NSFW but perhaps the BO is planning something and just went on Easter vacations.

>>14240 The download keeps cutting off halfway through, but even if we could download it we probably wouldn't be able to use it - we prefer having a live board to scrape from. We only migrated /retro/ because it was relatively small and easy to do with existing tools. >>14254 We decline to host this board. >>14255 If an owner is inactive, you may claim it whenever you like by providing your username and intent to claim.

I've been thinking if an imageboard-building board would be useful to have around. I think a lot of BOs and anons would like to make an imageboard but there isn't much information or help available in creating and maintaining one. If such a board existed, it would be focussed on providing guides and info on building your own ib, hopefully with input from various admins who have successfully set up their own site. Would this be of interest to anyone? I don't want it to become another dead board cluttering up the site so I've held back from requesting it. As for the cafe admin(s), would this be of any value to the site and would you be willing to post advice on such a board?

>>14256 >>14257 >>14258 Thanks again, also admins if you decide the board should be NSFW due to some possible topics touched i can swing with it. >>14265 That sounds pretty great, if it can be made in a single thread (200-300 posts) i think you can even use /server/ without much trouble. Although getting into the technical gritty nitty along with user feedback might mean something more vast than that. rip slothchan
