after staring at the site's colors for a long while, I realized I really wanted higher contrast between the replies and the background, to give them that nice, blocky post-it note look.

the reply boxes are already quite dark, so I decided to lighten the background considerably. it's quite jarring at first, but I think the rest of the elements really pop now, and they help keep the site looking purple. I also darkened the reply drop shadows for the same reason.

let me know what you think!

picrel is the OLD color scheme for comparison

thanks! yeah, it's grown on me more and more after a couple days. my main fear was that on some screens the background might not be discernibly purple, but I don't think that ended up being the case.

The theme reminds me of another board I used to go to like this called comfy.chat if I remember correctly

 No.63

In my usual posture and distance from the screen it looks very firmly white and I cannot tell the purple in the background. But if I sit further back I can more easily tell that it is purple. Weird. Regardless of that oddity, I think it looks good.

hmm, maybe comfychan.org? I've never visited it before, but it looks like it's down now...

>>63
huh, that is odd. I would imagine the more purple elements of the site (replies, links, etc) help bring out the background purple, so maybe backing up and seeing everything together helps? I'm taking a look at Futaba B (blue board theme) now, and on some screens, if you don't have something white to compare it to, the background can look suspiciously white... hm.

well, maybe I'll try giving it a little more purple in a couple days if it's still bugging me. thanks for your feedback!

Nah it wasn't that even though it sounds similar
Board theme was nice
It had an even nicer Nier theme

I swear this website spontaneously breaks every couple of weeks. If it wasn't so inactive I would be suspicious

nice find! looks like I broke it during one of my layout changes without noticing, since I mostly use the catalog. I've figured out the cause, but it might take me a little bit to decide how to fix it while keeping the current look. hopefully will solve it later today

okay, should be all fixed now. thanks again for reporting the issue and helping make the site better! <3

Nice of you to visit!
I hadn't heard of Megidochan before, but it seems like a cool little active altchan! I used to read homestuck as it was updating like 10 years ago. I might lurk around a bit.

This site doesn't really have a purpose lol, it was created on a whim.
Some friends and I were having a discussion about the decline of forums and distinctive little sites with their own feel and community in favor of huge consolidated social media spaces (Discord, Twitter, Reddit, etc), and so a couple of us decided it would be fun to set up our own microsites, even if realistically they would get almost no traffic or adoption. I made this imageboard and one of my friends made a little phpbb forum, though it looks like that forum is down now.

Hm, to be honest, I haven't seriously attempted to grow it at all, so there's probably a lot I could do to improve it.

I actually deliberately started with just two boards because I was worried that spreading the already small amount of posts we get across a bunch of overly-specific boards would make the site seem even more inactive.
On the other hand, I guess this current format runs the risk of people not really knowing what to post about (anything/everything within site guidelines is encouraged), whereas more specific boards would give people a starting point.

I subscribe to the fewer boards camp, enough to count on one hand is safe.

No more boards!

Hello Marzichan!
Since we're now net friends, I figured I'd introduce our site.
https://wapchan.org is mostly focused around retro anime, manga, and games, with a particular focus on the works of Rumiko Takahashi. We also host /kind/, a very relaxed board for kindposting.
Come visit us sometime.

just realized I never responded to this, my bad!
thanks for stopping by and leaving a post. I'll make sure to stop by and post a bit sometime, just as I would encourage anyone reading this to do

Since I said that I'd do one, here it is!

I tried to incorporate pixel art, witches, the moon, candy, a bilingual joke... Many of these things I'm predisposed to to include regardless.

Dunno if you ever played Ragnarok Online, but I hope it meshes well.

Woah, it's so pretty!! I love it. I haven't played Ragnarok Online, but I think it fits perfectly! Big bonus points for the moon and sweetness, great colors too (・∀・)

Hi! How did you do this that reply links are under the post?
It's very useful and I'd love to apply this to my vichan imageboard.

Thanks! I spent a good while fiddling with all the styling, so even though this site is pretty slow, it's nice to see that people appreciate the work that went into it.

The replies at the bottom is a tweak I made to the vichan show-backlinks.js script, because I thought it looked nicer than the default one. The exact details vary by browser, but if you open your browser's debugger on this site and find the show-backlinks.js file, you can compare it to the stock vichan one and copy my version if you like. There are some other changes in the file, but the section in pic related is specifically what moves them to the bottom and adds the divider line.

How about hourly thread limit of 1/hour?

>>36
I'm guessing this was meant to be its own post? Might be a good idea. The site wasn't getting spam until like a week ago so I didn't want to put on limits on activity. Looks like vichan doesn't have a setting for it out of the box, only a setting for time inbetween posts.
