>>1"This was caused by a hardware failure which not only killed the original datas, but also the backups(don't ask me how that happened, that's what i was told)."

DAMN IT!!  NO! All the work I put into setting up a list of pics to post on the /f/ board!  It's a consperacy I tell you.  The host is out to get us ALL... I just *know* it!

Oh well, when the board comes back up I'll just repost what I have listed :p.

Btw, this style of board looks rather nice.  I can't explain why exactly, but this style just looks... better and easyer to follow.

Btw, why did fap.yiff.com go FUBAR as well?  I just can't help but notice the coincidence.

Fchan's server was just owned by some people, wasn't it? I doubt they made tape backups and stuff. It was probably just storing backups on an extra drive and the power supply burst or something. Or the owner went insane and starting chopping the whole thing up with an axe. Equally likely.

the fchan server is now on a centos installation that is regularly backed up via rsync onto a 5 TB windows 2003 server

Um, how much is a home link at 10 Mbaud, and a 500 Gig dedicated USB drive these days? Id offer, but am still trying to get a GHz capable machine. 8(

I came home from G.A.M.E. and the first thing I did was try to do some fchan lurking. When the dreaded "could not be found" box appeared it took me an hour to figure out what to do.

I don't know about you... but fap.yiff.com is anything but "fine."  I take it... that you don't have dial-up you?

One, you can't post more than one pic on a thread.  Two, there is no pic thumbnails... those "small" pics are just fullsized pics just graphically shrunk (check their /dis/ board for details).

Yes, the people running that aren't very bright. They have no idea what they're doing.

I'm currently going to try engaging in a project to make a 2ch that actually works, with a coder friend of mine. I may contact Xeno to try working -with- the Fchan crew on this, as long as I can set the proper gears in motion.

This will be coming out of my own pocket. Consider it a donation to all of everyone's.. needs.

They are simply lacking experience. ;)

Re project: feel free to contact me, I'd be quite interested in making this bigger. :)

Hmm.. so thats whats been wrong with fchan.. we've had outages, sure, and times when i saw that accessing the boards was near  impossible. but damn. All the backups AND the hard data? thats a lot of shit to recode Xenofur. If i had any idea what coding language this was in, i'd offer you a smidge of help if of course, it was one i was familiar with.

 "Home Links" are usually rated at the download speed, not upload speed. They're not at all good for hosting servers.

small update: the work is moving on quite nicely, i got myself a fresh version of wakaba (which is also a few versions higher) and am currently merging it with my hacks on the previous version.

Further updates:
The first test board has been set up and is running nicely.
Added clearer handling and markers to pictures with missing thumbnails or pictures that have been deleted.
Currently moving all the code out of the individual boards and into one single directory, that will make changes to the boards much easier and should reduce glitches.

Currently known bugs: Tripcodes don't work. Oo

why not just give up?
are people to lazy-arsed to got out and scout for furry porn on their own, sharing links with friends and so forth, instead of redistributing elsewhere?

What's up with the bazillion channel boards anyway? It's been like "ZOMG! CHAN BOARDS IS TEH AWSUM! I MAEK ONE TOO!"

Chan's is a mistake, and a freakshow of the world wide web

was fixed during my reworking of the codebase. didn't even pay much attention to it.

>>52 i'll be giving you the benefit of the doubt that you actually meant what you wrote at face value.
why not give up?
too much time invested.
are people to lazy-arsed to got out and scout for furry porn on their own, sharing links with friends and so forth, instead of redistributing elsewhere?
this is about more than sharing porn, this also allows artists to reach a bigger number of people than by simply having their own website, this allows real intercommunication in the fandom and last but not least: i feel this has actually improved the community and taught some peolpe what respect is about. besides, do you also think we should still be using stone knifes?
What's up with the bazillion channel boards anyway? It's been like "ZOMG! CHAN BOARDS IS TEH AWSUM! I MAEK ONE TOO!"
bazillion? http://1chan.net/overchan/ <- try checking that first. but to answer you: "We have a dream." Try finding out what 2chan really is and you might begin to understand that dream.
