10:15 PMAnonymous# No. 6Hi! I hope everyone has been enjoying their Christmas so far
10:16 PMAnonymous# No. 7I celebrated it yesterday and later found out only mexicans do this apparently.
10:17 PMAnonymous# No. 8Hey I mean if you're having a great time then that's what matter
10:17 PMAnonymous# No. 9Been celebrating today i took a break to join this.
10:18 PMAnonymous# No. 10Well thank you (and everyone here) for taking some time out of their day to be here
10:19 PMAnonymous# No. 11Hello new anon!
10:21 PMAnonymous# No. 12Hello
10:21 PMAnonymous# No. 13What is supposed to happen here?
10:22 PMAnonymous# No. 14Yeah what are we doing?
10:23 PMAnonymous# No. 15Like old 4chan's townhall in the sense of having every user in one room for semi-meta chitchat, and general discussion
10:24 PMAnonymous# No. 16It's been one hell of a year for sure
10:24 PMAnonymous# No. 17I'd like to ask everyone here what they are thinking now?
10:25 PMAnonymous# No. 18About the state of the board
10:26 PMAnonymous# No. 19>>15 Yeah this is supposed to be mostly a discussion about 22chan and the state of things as they are now. Like talking about wanting to see certain improvements and other things. Thing you don't like and so on...
10:26 PMAnonymous# No. 20What people like and hate and if there's any notable diffrences, what we are doinf better and so on.
10:26 PMAnonymous# No. 21Ok.
10:27 PMAnonymous# No. 22I have a question about people's thoughts on fun posting? I know it isn't as good as quality posting but does it have value?
10:29 PMAnonymous# No. 23Personally, i like how we've had more stuff then what we used to have on the old site, and in a much faster rate then having to wait for years for any updates.
10:29 PMAnonymous# No. 24Well, in my personal opinion I think it has been a great year to be a 22chan user. I have encountered no issues and have been loving the small things and optimizations added to the site throughout the year. The only thing that I can remotely think of which is bad is the occasional spam that is usually quickly removed. In my opinion I think the site is in the best state it has ever been.
10:29 PMAnonymous# No. 25It seems like we didn't retained our users from 1.0.
10:30 PMAnonymous# No. 26Today has been shockingly quiet.
10:30 PMAnonymous# No. 27>>22 Of course, funposting is what makes sites worth browsing after all
10:31 PMAnonymous# No. 28i think after the site was announced to die everyone fled without checking in to see if another version would be set up
10:32 PMAnonymous# No. 29someone actually made a 22chan clone before we made the new site and it was spammed to death with CP
10:32 PMAnonymous# No. 30We need to use the users we have no going forward.
10:33 PMAnonymous# No. 31>>22 I think there's an extreme value to funposting, but we discussed it a lot of times to have most of it separated to /sewers/ if possible (threads). I at least kind of see 22chan as a serious type discussion place kind of a like a textboard which is a place for serious discussion only that was mixed in with a bunch of images for more elaboration and created this.
10:33 PMAnonymous# No. 32I think we need to use the users we have now to attract people who are vistors.
10:33 PMAnonymous# No. 33That's probably what happened. I think most people still believe the site is dead to this day, either that or they just lost interest
10:35 PMAnonymous# No. 34I would refresh this page every 20 minutes or so because apparently the websocket this is just suicidal or something and I have to restart it manually.
10:35 PMAnonymous# No. 35>>29 That happens to all altchans
10:36 PMAnonymous# No. 36>>32 Community projects would be good for that probably
10:37 PMAnonymous# No. 37>>36 How do we get people who are willing to do that?
10:38 PMAnonymous# No. 38>>28 Well, some of the recent posts on /b/ suggest some fags stuck around since 2018~2019. It was nice to see
10:38 PMAnonymous# No. 39>>22 I think the funposting is fine as long as it's contained in the right threads/boards. Ideally /sewers/ and potentially /b/ >>25 As unfortunate as that may be mostly true, it's natural to see most users come and go especially on altchans I'm sure given enough time and maybe advertising if the conditions are met, new users are sure to come by and cement themselves in the community One major positive aspect I want to point out is that despite 22chan going through several instances of ups and downs throughout the years, 22chan has lived past many other altchans and is still going strong in my opinion I'm not sure what the average altchan lifespan is, but I wouldn't be surprised if 22chan has lived beyond that
10:41 PMAnonymous# No. 40>>34 Everything seems to be working fine for me
10:42 PMAnonymous# No. 41>>36 Even though we clearly don't have the userbase to fuel demanding projects, I can't help but get a little excited over the new board. Working on stuff together is one of my favorite things about imageboards
10:43 PMAnonymous# No. 42I'm here. Sorry for my late arrival, I was eating some Christmas dinner with my family and was opening gifts.
10:43 PMAnonymous# No. 43>>40 I know because the javascript always tries to reconnect you when the websocket goes down but some messages might not display on your end when you reconnect so refreshing is always a good idea. (you might not even notice messages are missing is what I am saying)
10:43 PMAnonymous# No. 44>>42 All good, we're in no rush
10:44 PMAnonymous# No. 45>>43 Thanks for clarifying
10:44 PMAnonymous# No. 46Also like seriously sorry for the line breaks that are just breaking the words I guess I forgot to add that CSS element.
10:45 PMAnonymous# No. 47>>37 Do something that is fun, I guess. The worms guy still hosts consistently after so much time, the /mmc/ guys were at it I think but their thread suddenly died. I'm trying my own thing with the minecraft server and while I'm inconsistent it's fun to play with the rare anon who comes around. And talking about that, can any moderator please move the discussion of the minecraft server thread back to the minecraft thread and leave the server thread open exclusively for "Server is open" posting? The split was pretty sloppy
10:45 PMAnonymous# No. 48Anyway, I'm overall quite optimistic about 22chan's state of affairs. It seems, to me at least, that it's becoming decently active again
10:47 PMAnonymous# No. 49Browsing altchans is pretty fun and I prefer doing that at this point than browsing and lurking 4cuck. This is mainly because you need to think before actually posting anything and pornographic material isn't the priority of the discussions most of the time.
10:47 PMAnonymous# No. 50>>47 Sure I guess if it's primarily related to the server about opening and closing it or something else like that it should stay in the /server/ thread but I can move the other stuff back if really needed.
10:49 PMAnonymous# No. 51The easiest community thing is making the community more active for us and any like minded future user.
10:50 PMAnonymous# No. 52Are there any particular posts that really stood out for you guys this year? (the ones you didn't share in the favorite post thread)
10:52 PMAnonymous# No. 53>>52 I like the artists that have been posting recently
10:56 PMAnonymous# No. 54That does remind me that we should implement tegaki sometime soon.
10:58 PMAnonymous# No. 55>>52 Dreams thread was always my favorite
10:58 PMAnonymous# No. 56One of my many favorites*
10:59 PMAnonymous# No. 57The main problem with 22chan right now is a lack of community. The main objective going forward should be making a community that people would want to be invested in. One thing we can easily do is make more fun posts because if people see people on the board having genuine fun they will want to post high quality posts. That being said we should remember we are an altchan and what led a majority of us to want to discover 22chan. 4chan was too mainstream for us. To me, that means we should strive to make fun posts that are unique to us, actually having fun and participating, in general, should be a priority. The main thing we should do is have genuine fun and be more willing to participate in general. If people see we are a fun and quality site at the same time they will be more willing to make us their home board and not just go back to a more mainstream site like 4chan.
11:05 PMAnonymous# No. 58>>55 Like another anon mentioned in I think it was the NET characters thread? there should be more of an attempt by users to try and recreate some of the rather more ridiculous posts in those threads with drawings of their own. (Don't have to be high quality.)
11:06 PMAnonymous# No. 59Yep the websocket just shitted itself again.
11:07 PMAnonymous# No. 60I'll just make a timer to restart every 30 minutes it seems.
11:08 PMAnonymous# No. 61I've just kept refreshing.
11:11 PMAnonymous# No. 62>>57 I guess it doesn't help that a lot of the bumps at times are very depressing to read /yu/ posts.
11:13 PMAnonymous# No. 63>>62 Those sad posts can be helped by trying to be more empathetic to show those anons they are not alone.
11:13 PMAnonymous# No. 64People go to imageboards because they have no where else to go.
11:15 PMAnonymous# No. 65I never even visited the original 22chan, so I don't have much of an idea of how to contribute here but I like the rules and I like cats, so I just wanted to say that I appreciate this website.
11:20 PMAnonymous# No. 66Given how much of an anonymous website 22chan is I guess the identifier codes in this chat are kind of getting more annoying by the second for me. >>65 Thanks for sharing this.
11:20 PMAnonymous# No. 67>>65 I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your time here!
11:21 PMAnonymous# No. 68i like cats too
11:22 PMAnonymous# No. 69>>66 I personally don't mind it specifically for town halls But I can understand the reason behind both getting rid/keeping them
11:25 PMAnonymous# No. 70I'll quickly restart the websocket once again.
11:25 PMAnonymous# No. 71There we go.
11:28 PMAnonymous# No. 72>>47 For cytube we are planning on just recreating it using this chat application and then rehosting it here. There were kind of problems with the previous one (developing its own community, mesages didn't stay or follow 22chan rules) so here we are hoping to kind of fix it by including it on the actual website.
11:31 PMAnonymous# No. 73I think it'll be fun
11:33 PMAnonymous# No. 74It was nice to watch something and discuss it afterwards like a book club and i still remember all the fun times we had and the OC that came from it.
11:34 PMAnonymous# No. 75I liked the captain falcon banner
11:35 PMAnonymous# No. 76I greatly enjoy the lack of overused meme images even though I note that there's no mention of them in rule 3. Are they implicitly banned or is it just a happy coincidence that no one comes and uses them?
11:36 PMAnonymous# No. 77It would count as low quality, And normalnigger content
11:37 PMAnonymous# No. 78Normalfaggotry extends to meme images/content especially if you can easily find it on knowyourmeme or whatever
11:39 PMAnonymous# No. 79>>76 it's also because of the latter part as you mentioned. I think all instances of us moderating stuff (that wasn't CP or spam) is in the moderation thread as far as I know.
11:40 PMAnonymous# No. 80We haven't explicitly mentioned it per-se because it would be annoying to have an extra long list of what we dont like like "don't piss on tuesday"
11:43 PMAnonymous# No. 81but it is banned
11:43 PMAnonymous# No. 82Oh ok thanks. That's good then.
11:45 PMAnonymous# No. 83Oh and is there anywhere in the site that warns you about the time limit allowed for post deletion? I think the password field inspires false confidence on that bit.
11:46 PMAnonymous# No. 842 hours as of now. I can always increase it for whatever reason but no one said anything about it so...
11:46 PMAnonymous# No. 85what's the reasoning behind the time limit?
11:49 PMAnonymous# No. 86I guess it's just like anons double thinking to themselves? If they made a thread or reply that has been there for a long time they had all the time to check for errors and such and there should be no reason to delete. I guess what worries me is that some anon makes a thread that gets tons of replies and one day he just deletes it and that's just it an entire thread gone...
11:51 PMAnonymous# No. 87I am not saying that our reasoning is always good and you may even notice for a long extended period of time even bugs and other things staying which is primarily because no one ever mentions those to us. A non issue.
11:54 PMAnonymous# No. 88More people should be complaining honestly... like they did in the older days when the staff of websites like this did something wrong and they got extremely shit on which made them fix issues ASAP. This almost never happens here.
11:56 PMAnonymous# No. 89 I think most anons don't even bother with the password field... but I have done the thing you mentioned on other boards, deleting a post after months. I can understand if that is not desirable behavior though. I do think the 2 hours are a bit stingy and the limit should be shown somewhere, not just after you try and failed to do delete it.
11:58 PMAnonymous# No. 90>>88 we had this thread on the old site for meta related posts that doesn't require a thread... i wonder if that may be of use?
11:59 PMAnonymous# No. 91that's where we used to get most of the complaints back in the day if i'm recalling correctly
12:00 AMAnonymous# No. 92>>89 like with a timer?
12:01 AMAnonymous# No. 93>>72 >mesages didn't stay or follow 22chan rules Damn, what did those guys do? >here we are hoping to kind of fix it by including it on the actual website Is there a rough estimate of when that will be done? It'd be a first for an imageboard to have something like that
12:02 AMAnonymous# No. 94>>90 >>91 sure that could be helpful I guess. There also seems to be like a misconception of who can create threads on /meta/ it seems? Because the only threads that were made by non-staff were to complain about post deletion.
12:02 AMAnonymous# No. 95>>89 Can confirm, I just mindlessly copy the password whenever I post, I don't think I've ever deleted one of my own posts
12:02 AMAnonymous# No. 96>>92 I was thinking just on the blurb below the reply field
12:04 AMAnonymous# No. 97>>92 A bit of text I mean just mentioning that there's a time limit, not a timer.
12:07 AMAnonymous# No. 98>>97 I got that from your post as well. Making a timer for that is pretty pointless and even wasteful
12:09 AMAnonymous# No. 99I'd like to ask another thing, and I don't want to offend anyone, but what's up with all the gimmicks that have been added recently? The early ones like multiple images, new types of text and such were fun and interesting, but I don't see stuff like the tag system having a reason to exist
12:10 AMAnonymous# No. 100>>93 >what did they do long while ago the people who used to run the /mmc/ used it like if it was a seperate community and like a watch party which contributed nothing to the site, later on nowadays because of laziness it was hard for some people to make threads and i guess it was used too frequently and at the end of the day we decided to shut it down and reboot it.
12:11 AMAnonymous# No. 101>>100 What a shame. I wonder if any of them still post here
12:12 AMAnonymous# No. 102>>93 Everyone who attended Cytube basically became an identifiable member who was also namefagging at that with the same name every session. The conversation a lot of times leaned not towards discussing what they were watching but just random short emote spamming and such which kind of mimicked twitch chat or something of that type? By the time Cytube ended they managed to watch more than a 100 series and only like 5 of them were ever discussed on 22chan? There were no logs or any of that type to even go see what a person said about a certain show and some if it was really private stuff they would rather not share with the 22chan community.
12:17 AMAnonymous# No. 103>>93 Some time soon it will be implemented (this chat application like I mentioned will serve as a stepping stone for that) >>99 The tagging system is more like a test feature which can always be removed if the userbase doesn't use it for a long time, but it exists primarily just so people can find stuff a lot easier. It's a feature that I always kind of wondered why it wasn't implemented somewhere sooner here in the west because it allowed you to basically only look for the thing you were specifically searching for (it will have a few more updates soon).
12:19 AMAnonymous# No. 104Like you know how on Youtube when you search for something its always just a keyword that was included somewhere? (like in the comments, title, etc.) Tagging it on the other hand only allows you to search for well a thing that actually has the tag applied to it so there is no beating around the bush trying to find it. It either exists or not.
12:19 AMAnonymous# No. 105>>57 i get why people hesitate, sometimes its daunting to contribute to a big project or it seems like there isn't enough people or whatever. But really why not? what do we have to lose?
12:21 AMAnonymous# No. 106back in the day with the old 22chan album thread, not too many people contributed to it and a year later someone bumped the thread and all of a sudden a day later we had enough contributions to finish the album.
12:21 AMAnonymous# No. 107>>104 Yeah, but youtube has been massive for most of its history while you can probably read everything that's been posted in this site in less than a single afternoon. We're extremely niche so we won't be blowing up any time soon either, so while understand the idea behind it I don't agree with it being implemented in the site, specially right now
12:24 AMAnonymous# No. 108>>107 I agree that it wont find much use right now but since it is pretty much a completely new thing not really seen anywhere I guess what's the harm in keeping it for now and get people to try and use it?
12:26 AMAnonymous# No. 109>>108 I guess. I've already given my ultimate thoughts on it so that's that
12:30 AMAnonymous# No. 110>>105 Those were my exact thoughts when making the minecraft server. Even with the small number of people that have joined until now, it's something and it's fun
12:34 AMAnonymous# No. 111>>96 I was thinking of creating like a password manager or something which is just a box that floats on the right top side of your screen that shows you all of your passwords and when they pretty much expire whenever you create a thread but I am unsure if anyone is still gonna use it or not. But yeah I think I'll increase the limit to something like 24 hours for post deletion if needed.
12:35 AMAnonymous# No. 112I remember seeing this post on the net characters thread where this one anon was being negative about an idea that was thrown out there, he said something like "what is this, the MCU?" but its important to remember that most of the stuff on 4chan, content people loved was forced and either people loved it, and reposted it or hated it and sometimes in life you gotta just shoot your shot and hope it sticks. if you don't, and if 22chan died right now you'll end up feeling guilty that you missed out in making something amazing with people.
12:46 AMAnonymous# No. 113We will wrap things up in the next 14 minutes or so. If you have anything else you wanna ask go ahead.
12:50 AMAnonymous# No. 114Nothing else here, best of luck with the site and happy end of year to all!
12:57 AMAnonymous# No. 115I appreciate all of you! Merry christmas!>>114
