Would anyone particularly mind if I revived truwiz using the magicchan domain and name? I just bought it since nobody has in the last 3 months.

>>2260 I never knew of truwiz. If you want to change the name because it's infantile; wise choice. It conjures up images of highschool kids arguing what makes a wizard. But why truwiz as magicchan and not something related or new? It's like wearing someone else's skin. However, your money already spent, do what you want. The name of yet another dead imageboard doesn't matter.

>>2261 I guess I have an affinity for the domain. magicchan sounds nice to my ear, which is on part due to a nostalgia for its existence. When you have fond memories it rolls off the tongue - I can just use magechan and redirect magicchan here. That’s what I’m indecisive about, does my fondness for it outweigh any grief from how it may appear to others.

>>2262 magicchan.org just redirects here now and I'll keep it that way. I'll use magechan if I do anything in a few months.

It's tragic that this board has declined so deeply in its userbase. Magicchan was an amazing site, one of the best, if not the best I ever browsed.

>>2353 It's a real shame. I have a feeling that we're only two anons now.

>>2354 Three. Personally I check the board a lot but I don't have much to post. I feel like I should probably post some of my recent drawings in the hobby thread but I always feel weird about it like someone is going to track me down from my drawings or something because of some weird paranoia that I should probably get over.

>2355 Four. I mostly lurk here too since I have nothing of value or importance to say. I do like seeing other mages drawings for what it's worth. Your creativity amazes me.

I am here too but I don't really have anything worth saying, unfortunately.

>>2355 You should post some of your drawing. This is a obscure board with a small userbase; I doubt anyone will find out about you. On the other hand, I feel kind of hypocritical giving this advice, because I almost never post my drawings here, mostly because almost everything I draw are commissions. >>2356 >>2357 It appears that there are still five people frequenting this site. I guess it's not so bad. I wonder if the owner of the board is still among us.

>>2358 Make it 6

>>2353 >It's tragic that this board has declined so deeply in its userbase Did it really? Lol, I couldn't tell, to be honest. This board was always so painfully slow, somehow more so than the original magicchan. >Magicchan was an amazing site, one of the best I think I agree with you. I was posting there from the first day til' it's passing. Being part of the handful of anons who "regularly" posted in an attempt to encourage posting from each other and visitors. It was really something unique. To be completely honest, I think we all knew we were a rag-tag group of loners, maybe even self-described "bores", but the fact we still tried to uphold a community so minute amongst each other with fairly different interests for such a consistent period is just really inspiring for me, in hindsight. I would love to post more but I am not quite sure how my posts can add value to this site. I kinda mellowed out, more serenely than what's probably expected from wizardchan users I guess. While I could have no issue relating to most posts on places like wizchan, r/foreveralone, etc,. I really see no point in spending anytime at those sites(or rampant negativity) at all. It's kind of funny seeing /dep/ still posting about suicide fuel much like what I would baww and relate to in my late teens on the original wizchan, but I just don't really have the patience for that negativity at this point, despite being much older and my age now greatly contributing to quickly ballooning sense of deep alienation. I find myself spending less and less time on the web and focusing more on the passions I've developed over time, a far cry from being 20 and not having a single thing that I could say I was passionate about. I still am very isolated as you would expect from someone who regularly checks on this board, but it's more of a "lost", aimless, unsure predicament than one of abject despair, rejection, and loneliness. You really can't go about things effectively alone, ie "no man is an island", but what that really means or how that can be interpreted to someone like me is still lost on me. I can't shake this deep feeling I'm just bidding time for an eventual suicide but things are going pretty well for me at the moment. I am, at least, very proud on how far I have come in many aspects from the roombound, deeply resentful, completely-inept-in-every-single-fucking-regard late teens early-20s young man I was. I have learned a great deal from therapy, therapists, and it's practices and foundations but I feel like I have pragmatically used up what I could from them. It's up to me now, what that means I don't currently have an idea. To be completely honest, I'm not 100% sure why I decided to write all this but maybe I'm hoping some of the older anons can relate. I'll be always watching from the background here at least. Regardless, I really hope you all manage to find things to ease any pains you might be experiencing. You may not even realize you hold more value than you can currently see in yourself. All the best. https://youtu.be/TK1Ij_-mank

>>2364 7, maybe. >>2365 34 will be the age I finally, magically develop a passion.................. borat.jpg NOT!

I'm also here. Seems like a lot of us actually. But i don't know what to say, in fact I have nothing to say really. I'm just silently observing. The internet is simply not fun anymore, I don't feel the need to participate anymore.

Have not tried using the magicchan bookmark again till today. I am officially a wizard now. Glad modmin decided to create an alt board, I missed magicchan, I was refuging in incels.co but it’s filled with many underage dumb kids.

>>2365 > I find myself spending less and less time on the web and focusing more on the passions I've developed over time, a far cry from being 20 and not having a single thing that I could say I was passionate about. 27 an no passion yet. May conjure the biggest spell known to a wizard when I hit 30.

>>2379 Welcome back >>2382 I am 35 and don't have a passion, too. Unfortunately it does not just magically turn up with age.

Hello, man I just thought of looking up magicchan bc I miss good image boards and I found this. I miss the site before it got took down with weird shi-. What's up?

>>2404 Imagine if it was still kicking...

another dead imageboard thanks to larpers and cliquers. Normalfags and failed normies with friends and social groups addicted to discord will never be wizards.

I am chilling.

>Anon.cafe will shut down as of 00:00 UTC on 15 March 2024. What now? Do we still have a BO?

>>2432 There's always Lizchan...

>>2433 The bunker on 8chan is still up but I would rather avoid that website

>>2434 8chan.moe doesn't exactly have a sterling reputation either.

>>2435 That's what i said :^|

>>2434 What’s wrong with using the board on there? I think it’s hidden from the main site so won’t get tourists from their user base. I’m not familiar with modern image board reputations. I’ll redirect magicchan.org there or a thread in /v9k/ on wizchan or uboachan just to use like a guestbook for any mages who come on by, depending on the arguments against 8chan and if there’s an alternative service. Put the date on my calendar so I will be back.

>>2437 Based on the things I've heard of that site, and who the owner is sharing your data with, I'm sure as hell wouldn't post anything there.

>>2438 Ok I don’t know much anymore. Any views on endchan?

>>2439 Even worse lol

>>2437 A lot of boards seem to be moving to trashchan, maybe contact the webmaster there and ask for a hidden board? He seems to be able to scrape the cafe effectively and transition all of the old threads too so they aren't lost. It would be a real shame to lose all of our threads here.

>>2441 Looks like a lot of hassle getting trashchan dude to approve of things, and talking to people. We will see what happens.

>>2441 >>2443 It's pretty much the only option if we want to keep our threads. Btw the magicchan archive links are dead, anyone downloaded it?

>>2445 Anyone can ask him to do it.

https://mega.nz/file/pndXjaIJ#JE_zcBy1u2yg_rJEjbbLOYqZ0SvlcsBx9WDtXTD9qa4 Archived the site in easily viewable format

>>2445 The other board I saw mentioned was wapchan. I don't know that the webmaster there can mirror our threads in the same way though. Outside of that We have some diplomacy to do I guess, asking around other altchans and seeing if anyone will take us in.

>>2449 I think he can do it because he rebuilt one of the boards as a test.

We're cleared to move to Wapchan. He needs the CSS and banners though which I don't have. BO, are you here?

>>2452 Thanks for putting in the efforts and energy. Don't know if BO is even still around though...

>>2453 Someone has to do it.

>>2452 It doesn't look like the kind if ib that will be around for long. Do they even support hidden boards? I don't want to move to somewhere where everyone can see the board.

>>2452 fully moved over the board + css and banners https://wapchan.org/tower/ it's unindexed/hidden >>2455 it's been around for over 2 years at this point. don't plan on shutting it down

There is a reason why all the other boards refused to move to wapchan >>>/shelter/5284 I would try to ask the trashchan admin first, it will be easier to find us if we stay on the webring >>2453 Someone should try to contact him: modmin@airmail.cc

>>2457 That seems like an extremely stupid and petty reason, considering the site itself seems to be run without bias.

>>2458 Can confirm that there is no bias and not even politics at all and I have been using wapchan since those 2 years. >>2457 They were about to take comfy in and took already /kind/ in, which worked well.

>>2456 Thanks you for doing that for us. >>2457 Seconding that I don't think it's a valid reason for /tower/ specifically. This shelter doesn't have extreme political content, and the rules of "excessive" slurs/etc wouldn't really matter. /tower/ fits in with the comfy vibe. The trashcan guy seems to want people to jump through hoops a bit, whereas this dude has done this for us with no hesitation despite us being a tiny board asking to be hidden. I'll give it a few days, unless board owner returns and disagrees etc creatng a split, I vote we create a thread to redirect people there, and I'll redirect magicchan.org to there.

I'm glad I checked today, I'm pretty busy irl and I haven't been on the board in a while so I might have missed the move if I hadn't randomly checked the board today. >>2457 Personally I can begrudgingly accept these things if this is the best place available to us right now. This board hasn't interacted much with the rest of this site, I doubt it would be much different there. And even if I'm kind of principally opposed to the rules or the admin's views on gay stuff or him advertising on reddit, I don't think it'd be of consequence to this board because we keep to ourselves and we don't get heated much if at all. But, If someone has a better suggestion and sets it up I would be happy to go there. I'll go wherever you guys want to go.

>>2463 I'd rather have an admin that keeps his politics off site than one like trashchan who seemingly has trannies living rent free in his head https://trashchan.xyz/meta/thread/411.html#453

>>2464 I'd have to see more than this to decide if he's that bad. He doesn't even seem to be talking about trannies here, just complaining about some verification thing. honestly even if he was I wouldn't mind, his anti-tranny views wouldn't effect our board any more than figamin's pro-tranny views would. I am unfamiliar with both of these guys so I don't have a preference. the trash guy seems like less of a normalfag but if the figamin guy is a good admin I don't mind using his site, especially since he was willing to set it all up right away.
