the faq and rules pages used to mention that users are encouraged to post anonymously, to build community spirit. I was thinking on it, and I've removed both of these instances.

I think it's true that anonymous posting does create a unique sort of community experience, but at the same time, one of marzichan's key goals is to foster connection, and anonymity tends to make such opportunities for connection much more fleeting and rare. I don't want users to feel compelled by the site to post anonymously when that could deprive them of the opportunity to be recognized and make new friends, so please - feel free to use names and trips to your heart's content :)

of course, there's nothing wrong with choosing to post anonymously either, and since this is an imageboard, I'm guessing most users will still choose to post that way most of the time. but there should be no shame in posting with a name or trip here if you'd like to.

as always, feedback is welcome m(_ _)m

for whatever stupid reason, Comcast is blocking here with their xfi security garbage thing...

they have a report page to mark sites for unblocking, and apparently it takes a fair few requests to get through
https://spa.xfinity.com/report

 No.203

huh, thanks for pointing this out. does it say specifically what the reason for blocking is?

 No.204

>>203
nope
it just brings up the generic "this site could be risky" message (that you need to disable HTTPS to see because comcast is redirecting you away from a secure site and browsers naturally hate that)

it has been very annoying lately, I've seen it across more sites in the last month than I have in ages

I tried connecting to this website on work wifi one time, and the wifi flagged the site as malware and wouldn't let me connect, if that means anything.

BitDefender also gives me a fat warning page whenever I visit the website on my laptop. My guess is that this site was auto-included on a suspicious activity list for whatever reason (Maybe the CSAM spam was detected? No clue)

Cool!

I’m kinda team 1 board ngl. Also might not come back some time, that’s how it’s been for me with most altchans, I post a lil and like it but eventually get distracted.

 No.69

yeah it doesn't really make sense to have new boards when there aren't enough people to populate them...
you can talk about any of ur interests in the main board!!! and if it somehow becomes super popular and loads of people start talking about it then maybe it would need a board of its own. but that sounds like something that would take a whiiilllleee >.<

This is me. Literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This character could not possibly be anymore me. It's me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this character is me. This character is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this character is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this character side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely look at this character every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see this character every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this character. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday this character is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I've found my identity with this character and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how similar this character is to me, it's almost like we're identical twins. When I first saw this character, I had an existential crisis. What if this character was the real me and I was the fictional being. What if this character actual became aware of my existence? Did this character have the ability to become self aware itself?

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

these current colors will definitely stick around as the default theme, though I may make slight adjustments while porting it over

 No.192

you should add a dark theme of sorts. the default theme is cute, but light colors strain the eyes after awhile.

 No.193

>>192
yup, it's one of the planned additions either as part of or immediately after the new version of the site. sorry for the wait (^^;)

 No.194

>>193
np, though i hope "new version" doesnt mean a departure from imageboard. they can be tedious, but imageboards are the best form of communication.

 No.195

>>194
nope, don't worry! it's still going to be an imageboard, just one that's more secure, has nicer UI, some new features, etc.
it won't be a radical departure from what we have now, just a more polished version :)
I am also planning to make an effort to migrate over existing posts when the time comes

a lot of people are asking for sage, but it hasn't been added due to
- wishing to streamline and simplify the experience
- hiding site activity
- having the potential to be used in mean ways
- probably more
so I got an idea. what if there was a sage option that only bumped the thread just a little bit? i don't know how vichan stores the bump order in the database, but if its stored as a date, then you could do something like bump the thread by a couple hours or so. that way, it will appear below messages posted more recently, but appear above some older threads.
two ways to go about it, you could set the bump date to the current time minus offset, or the original bump date plus offset. don't know which would be better, but both could work
i think it would be a nice compromise!

 No.185

hm, that's an interesting idea for a compromise! it could help address the "hidden activity" point, yeah.

I guess what I'm wondering is: what do the people asking for sage want it for? in my mind, sage is mainly used for people who want to reply but don't want to give attention to OP (often to make spiteful replies). is that something that we want to encourage?
there's also "courtesy sage", like "I don't think my post deserves to bump this thread", but my feeling is that we probably don't need to be so careful about bumps like that, especially if the site's activity continues to speed up some more.
