Spring Update + April Events figamin ## sysop 3/24/22 (Thu) 07:15:12 No.203 [Reply]

Hello everyone!
First off, I want to thank everyone who came to the second watch p/ar/ty, even if ended up being sort of a mess. Truth was I was super busy for a few weeks and planned on being free that Saturday for the stream, but had to leave after a while since I had other stuff to attend to. In the future there shouldn't be any more incidents like some of the videos having italian subs (didn't have time to check all of them). At the end of the day though it was pretty good, and I'd like to give special thanks to our good friends from heyuri for promoting the event on their site and being such good sports about it all. We'll be collaborating with them more in the future for sure.

Now for the events planned for April (I have been taking it easy the past few days since i'm done flying around all over the place for the year, so hope the radio silence wasn't too bad)
>Documentary watch p/ar/ty
This will be on 4/2 and feature the videos from >>>/ar/877 (plus any other suggestions, always found this stuff real interesting)
>Retro game night
This will be on 4/16, where i'll startup a old FPS server (probably quake or ut99) and frag the night away.
>Game Adaptation watch p/ar/ty
This will be on 4/30 and feature the suggestions from >>>/ar/891 (plus any other suggestions)
May will probably feature an event similar in concept to the 4chan cup, still working out the details on that one

Now for some other events running through spring:
>Mascot contest
I'll put up a post about this in the next few days, but i'll be starting up a contest to design mascots, both for the site as a whole and each board. While we've used a few anime girls to represent this place, I feel it's important that this site has its own identity, and mascots are a big part of that (especially since our friends at heyuri have a nice one). This will probably run through the months of April and May, with the winners being decided by June 1st.
>Fireside chats
I was going to do one beforehand, but I'd like to do these pretty frequently to stay in touch with all you wapnonsPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I don't have much interest in Chinese girl cartoons, but I'll chill around this site for a while, it's still good at the end of the day even if it's not something I'm super into. Also anything is a straight upgrade from Discord.

Saw the server rebrand when I got on today. Good on you for retiring the discord, I'll be checking in here.

If wapchan ends up introducing me to a group of good tf2 servers it'll somehow be even more of a blessing than it already was.

anon 6/7/22 (Tue) 22:45:27 No.476

>>453
Retiring any discords affiliated with in-groups seems like a good move to ensure that things are more open on a website like this.

I enjoy TF2 but haven't played much since 2012. I would consider joining for a game some time.

Expansion of Lum 24/7 anon 4/18/22 (Mon) 00:24:41 No.379 [Reply]

dont get me wrong i love the 24/7 but how about a little expansion, how about adding IY either on top the UY stuff or as a seperate channel

I can make it more of a rumic shuffle kind of stream, though idk what people would want on that specifically

More rumiko is always nice, why not add her whole catalog?

I think the /votemenu commands on your TF2C server are broken at the moment. My friend also cannot use them.

jannies anon 1/15/22 (Sat) 18:56:30 No.33 [Reply]

even when this site is still quite slow and small, you should think about hiring some jannies; case in point the most recent /ar/ thread

Say I wanted to become a janny - what rate of compensation might I expect to receive?
Are you able to give me an indication of what salary one might earn, before tax?

You mean to tell me that you expect a grown man to spend his time cleaning up posts on an anime forum for free?
Gratis?
Pro bono?
You'll pay him nothing?
What kind of man would work a job like that for free?

Someone who wants to keep this forum high quality. There isn't a ton of spam generally, it's more just that I'm not always around to clean it up myself.
I don't make any money off this site at the moment

Hosting an /a/ tournament anon 5/14/22 (Sat) 02:25:34 No.438 [Reply]

Hello, would this site possibly be willing to host an /a/ tournament? We're discussing it here https://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/237700739 but have concerns the jannies will ruin it.

BBS anon 5/4/22 (Wed) 19:53:07 No.433 [Reply]

How in the loving hell do I access the BBS? I've found a browser applet for it but I don't know what port to use.
23 doesn't work.
what do?

anon 5/4/22 (Wed) 23:55:10 No.434

Just write `telnet bbs.wapchan.org` in your terminal emulator.

>>433
The telnet link doesn't work sometimes and the browser version is actually broken since I never got the certificate to work over https, so manually executing the telnet command seems to work best

Those are just the default new user values in Syncronet. I always figured people would put in dummy data, but I went in and disabled all of them besides the initial username/alias

Too bad for the user, I'd actually like to make a permanent account on the BBS. Learn to post like it was the 90s all over again,

I've thought about it (as well as adding /a2k/), but i've always worried it would take away from the focus of the site. However if its a genuinely popular idea around here I might end up adding it.

Hey, altchan veteran here. Just want to warn you to NOT join what's called the "webring". It's filled with egomaniacs who track user data and get up to all kinds of shady shit. smugloli's board is the worst, do NOT recruit these guys if you want your board to be civil.

don't worry, there's no plans for wapchan to join that particular group of sites (addressed it here >>140 ). we may form loose partnerships with other net communities (and may even form an actual webring down the line, as in just site's linking to eachother without some plugin) but will otherwise always be an independent site.

Good plan. I've got a site in the works myself with tons of otaku info I've accumulated with my friends and events we've run and are running over the years.
It'll have an imageboard attached, so when I get that running I'll hit you up if things align as I imagine they should.
I really like the community you've attracted, it doesn't have that cancerous altchan behavior (so far), so I look forward to how things turn out.
