Can you post because if I try to post it doesn’t let me and if I try to refresh, it doesn’t actually refresh. I have 3 browsers on my phone, all 3 are stuck at different times of the thread and won’t update. Idk why my shit is so fucked up. I’m probably just retarded. I miss 4chan. IMG_1241.webp
 
I'm still baffled how this happened. How can such a huge website run for a decade without significant upgrades? How. How do you host that shit, with all the data you know is in the DB and sleep tight during the night knowing very well it's relying on decade old software? It wouldn't have even required much effort to update the basic shit to harden it.

the farms is probably one of if not the most lied about website on the capital I Internet. even recently i would see schizos on 4chan call us a tranny lover site or whatever, despite also being known as the tranny killer website by bluesky faggots

There's a reason for that. Every bullshit idiot telling lies about us is someone we told truths about.

more websites than you think are running on defunct soft/hardware, it's absurdly common and in our modern jeet age of tech it's only getting worse

Either:
1 put a nigger in charge
2 be the ultimate lazy trogladyte that wants money for nothing
3 a backdoor deal was made when m00t left that required the underlying to not be updated to work so feds could keep lazy access (bc they're not the scifi Lazer tech they make you think they are in film media, or the department monitoring them didn't have major funding bc it was viewed as not high risk)

Or 4, a mix of all the above
 
And I don't even have any fucking ideas to get a good userbase without advertising and bothering everyone else.
If I did one (and finally stopping my case of quickly giving up), it would be gatekept by accounts linked to a string of number/characters and a randomly generated password assigned to someone who ask for access, and word of mouth. And a fucking quadratic equation or shit like that (if it is public, every 24h hours on a associated IP) to resolve at least when you login because maths would filter anyone who is not serious enough to post shit.

You got three options.
First option : Use ChatGPT/Deepseek and ask help. I did it to look, and it seems feasible, and you can specify your wants and ask for help over what to choose over the frontend/backend/database.
Second option : You take a ready-made opensource imageboard software like lynxchan for example. You can always find something that you like and still supported. And customize it when you are familiar with the code.
Third option : Pull up your straps and do it yourself. Ask for help if you don't have any ideas, like the programming thread on KF, and ChatGPT/Deepseek.

The downside is that if you use ChatGPT/Deepseek, you can't be 100% what it is feeding you is correct or secure. Yes it can help with the basics, but you will have to get your hands dirty to do better if you don't want to end up with the shitcode of 4chan.

The best thing to do is try and learn from your mistakes. And perhaps integrate A.I bullshit (autodelete bad pics/vids and links to trooncord or shit like that) to not get bombarded with bots/cp.

Mind you, I don't have any ideas either, what I'm saying is a result of the last few days mucking around Deepseek asking for answers lmao.

I meant from the perspective of the people running 4chan. As in: how much of a task is it to get the site back to how it was? I'm not making 4chan2 lmao

Yeah, but 4chan with its millions of monthly anons... I honestly think Hiroyuki or whoever was responsible of maintaining it deserved this, they literally deserved to be shat on, neglecting basic responsibilities for so long.
