bump because i love this

here are some sites i like/occasionally check on

im really into forums and image/textboards

http://afternoon.dynu.com/
a comfy site with a textboard, image, and video section. it has a news section that you can write yourself, and even an interactive part. its small and slow, but very nice.
its fun to sit and watch the videos playlist sometime.
https://meguca.org/a/
a live imageboard, people can see as you type
http://oldweb.today/
basically like an interactive archive
https://dangeru.us/
good layout, good site.
i once read about this guy treating for his sick cat in the /news/ section. it was really sad but i got invested in it.

One of [s4s]'s off-site colonies. A shrine to all things dank, it boasts an odd combination of completely static webpages and decidedly less static webpages with each one centered around anything from flavor of the week shitposting to long standing memes like baneposting. Third King, CIAss and Froge are my favorites. It also has a flash archive with all the essentials.

I remember this! The guy started a thread on [s4s] and said he would add any images to the front page as they came in. I put in the 'best viewed on internet explorer' image at the bottom.

You lewders who have watched lain will probably like this.
To read the text on some of the pages you will have to set the charset to utf-8.
Find your browsers Text Encoding tool and set it to Unicode or just download the html files and change it.

It's comfy to explore, so enjoy <3 http://fauux.neocities.org/

Swashbuckling games has never been easier, but how's about Steam Workshop mods? Luckily, the community's gotcha covered. You do hafta to learn how to install 'em yourself, but I'd reckon most consummate pirates would rather spend a few hours' Googling than $40, $60, even $200+ spare cash.

Just make sure you use this one. The other site (with the black background) threw up red flags when it said I'd have to install their own custom userscripts via GreaseMonkey. >>'

Cryin' shame that mixtape.moe just up and vanished. Imgur doesn't seem to like mobile uploads, so I was using it for roleplaying while at work.

Looks fine on my end! And there's always catbox.moe and 0x0.st if it doesn't work.

Seems like somebody took the trouble to completely recreate the PS1 Serial Experiments Lain game in the form of a website. There's a simple About page that gives more background on the game and how it should be played. I haven't personally gone through it yet but I can vouch for the quality of the content as I've seen all the cutscenes from the game and found them to be comparable in tone to the original anime. The site certainly has the proper aesthetics going for it.

I found a site lists all the "boorus" you can go to by popularity that isn't just limited to Danbooru and Safebooru, almost all of them aren't SFW, but you can try going there and see it for yourself. Every single one of them has its own way of what content can be posted but one thing they all share in common are the content ratings on every tagged image. Some names are even weird, funny or containing the more controversial ones like furry.

Kinda sad that mixtape.moe is closing down tomorrow. It seems like every pomf clone or its derivatives invariably get swamped with cheese pizza.

Extremely unfortunate this happens. And I wish I could advise a solution, but I've never run a service like that so how does one really prevent people from abusing the service? If they're abusing it they probably have the smarts to get around whatever bans or restrictions are applied to them. Seems rough. Really shitty that scum have ruined yet another good service.

A CP detection algorithm? Though that would require a crapload of it to train on :/

Not cheese pizza, but it can be several factors:

-Negligence of the hoster keeping the service tidy, whether or not provided with paid donations and some of them lacking transparency of changes
-Virus scans detected suspicious or malicious activity
-The services is simply unreliable in the long term, that's why your browser has an encrpytion icon as a lockpad to the left of the URL that changes to know whether the site you're visiting is secure or not
-Too many DMCA reports
-Outdated domain type

Yes, all of these little clones including the original up to this point is confirmed gone and there are no alternatives to find them. The only best place I can put my self-created images reliably is through Imgur.

Keeping the service tidy is pretty difficult when dealing with such a large amount of storage and bandwidth - costs stack up.

Malware i honestly think is the downloader's responsibility to check for.

I'm not sure what HTTPS has to do with the site's reliability. All that says is that the connection is encrypted and your computer trusts that the server is what it says it is.

Don't host in the USA if you don't want DMCA reports.

What's wrong with the domain?

There are still catbox.moe and 0x0.st!

I've been using lambda.sx for uploading images for quite some time and it seems pretty stable
Looks like requiring an account is surprisingly effective at weeding out the malware uploaders

Saw this site and its forum on a video. It's a spooky cryptic thing, theres apparently over 100k pages on the site and new ones are created all the time even though the original person who registered it is apparently deceased. So that indicates there are multiple people in control of the website,

You can now play a 2020 U.S. election simulator game purely for fun from 270toWin. It's also one of many U.S. politics sites you can keep tabs on what's going on in the States.

On the interactive map, you make your own election predictions on who is going to win next year's presidency just by clicking on any state to change color properties along with a few other features, then you can share and embed it with others when you're done, it's that simple.
