Slide Attack Aftermath Anonymous Root 07/15/2023 (Sat) 16:46:33 No.1012
/toy/ was hit by a slide attack. Since it didn't have a thread limit set or Early 404 turned on, most threads were completely wiped. It looks like quick-thinking anons saved a couple of threads. Unfortunately, we didn't have a backup of this particular board. Since it seems that /toy/ has been all but inactive since its move to Anon.cafe, most of the board's content remains mirrored on its bunker at https://prolikewoah.com/toy/. The sticky is even the same as on PLW, announcement that it is now the bunker board and all. Since /toy/ is so inactive and its Board Owner has not logged in for two years(!), it might be best to retire this board outright instead of attempting to re-mirror it. Please give your opinions on /toy/'s fate here, if you have any.
yeah rip i probably would've posted had any of the toy boards on the ring were actually alive but i dont think its seen any significant activity anywhere after the fall of 8gag
Never posted on /toy/ because I'm simply not into this niche but it's always sad seeing places dedicated to specific topics and hobby vanish into the void. But hey if there were no active users left, why complaining...
>>1014 >but it's always sad seeing places dedicated to specific topics and hobby vanish into the void. I agree. One of the things I loved about 8chan were the countless hobby groups, even when they were dedicated to things I didn't have any real interest in. F
>>1014 >why complaining... Why? Because it was the work of a despicable troon, and likely done at the behest of some kind of organized glownigger gayop against the Internets generally. That's one, second, it's a part of all our common-heritage that's specifically being targeted for this destruction. I'm not OK with that, and neither would you be if you were thinking rationally Anon. What next, you'll be fine with book-burnings? Sorry I don't mean to be too short with you, but frankly I'm a little pissed about this situation r/n so please excuse me. We all owe a debt of gratitude to the Anoncafe Admins for keeping this place afloat, and thanks to them for it! :)
>>1012 Oh no.
>>1016 >ITS DA GLOWIESSSSSSSSSS
>>1016 >>1014 here. Never said it was OK seeing boards vanish like that, calm down anon. We're all worried by this shit.
>>1016 If you want to see a glowie why don't you look in the mirror faggot.
>>1016 If you're so grateful, why not actually throw some money their way? Debts of gratitude don't pay server bills.

>>1012 It'll be sad to see her go, but I'm more than happy to host /toy/ related content on /doll/ in case anybody is interested in it after this place gets sent to the glue factory. Fortunately(?), though, I don't think there'll be any refugees to take in after that happens.
It's really a darn shame. I was getting ready to make a Hotwheels thread too before all this happened.
>>1041 Do you collect them? I had a whole bunch of them as a kid. A few years ago I ended up seeing ones from that time being sold in the original boxes in an antique store, which made me feel old.
>>1042 I had a few along when I was a kid, although I had a lot more Micromachines now that I think of it. But yeah I guess I have started collecting them now. I started a few years ago sort of unintentionally. They're all new ones but I try to pick some really interesting ones. There's a few of them that have little wrenches built in, I think one has a bottle opener, there's one or two that have Lego compatible studs. One lets you snap a little go pro into it so you can presumably make first person videos of your tracks. I've got a couple of them lately that are wheel-less. I think they are suppose to be keychains but they look like little futuristic hover cars. Also I was glad to find out that they still made Color Racers which were my favorite ones as a kid. They change color in response to heat or cold.
>>1039 Good point, and I would say that admonition goes for you as well friend. >>1041 >>1043 Why not do it in /retro/ instead. anon/toy was already ded b4 the troons showed up, as others have pointed out here. F
>>1043 >One lets you snap a little go pro into it so you can presumably make first person videos of your tracks. That could be interesting. I never had any tracks as a kid, although it seems like there were always commercials on for them. >>1044 Now that you mention it, that might be a good idea. There's already a thread for '90s and 2000s toy discussion. https://anon.cafe/retro/res/223.html
>>1044 >>1046 The only problem I would see with taking it to /retro/ is that, at least my little collection, are all modern ones.
>>1047 >The only problem I would see with taking it to /retro/ is that, at least my little collection, are all modern ones. Welp, the feds haven't directed tvch troons against /animu/'s site in quite some time, maybe your thread will be safest there for a while Anon? https://prolikewoah.com/toy/
Honestly if /toy/ ends up being closed here, I think a good compromise would be to resurrect it as a thread on /server/. Maybe we could rebuild the board's numbers that way.
>>1049 Hey that's a really good idea Anon! I agree with this FWIW, Admins.
>>1047 Yeah, that's true. >>1049 That's an even better idea.
