Hey ranchan, I can't report threads.
When I try to solve the captcha it says a captcha is 6 letters long as error even though I input it right and in fact input 6 letters.

anon 1/24/23 (Tue) 23:16:38 No.809

Hm one day later it works weird.
I guess it's solved?

Just as info im on Win10 and Chrome.

Not OP, but hijacking the thread to ask what is the difference between "global report" and "report" ?

figamin ## sysop 1/25/23 (Wed) 15:56:25 No.815

>>814
"Report" means to report a post for breaking the rules of a particular board while "global report" means to report a site for breaking site wide rules. This feature of the engine is meant for sites where users create boards and moderate them seperately from the administration like 8chan. Just use global report around here (ill try and find a way to disable the other report button).

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but what does trash post mean? I was trying to figure out how to hide a comment, so first I clicked delete (which works just like 4chan's delete go figure), but then I tried out trash post and got a flooding warning (after that I figured out that you click the circular symbol to hide posts). Is "trash post" the old report button that you mentioned? Also do you get notified of flood warnings like the one I accidentally triggered?

STAFF RECRUITING DRIVE! figamin ## sysop 10/12/22 (Wed) 18:57:16 No.701 [Reply]

Hello anons of wapchan! We have been under attack from automated spam for a while now, and I'm not always around to clean it up myself. If you want to keep this board comfy, tidy and captcha-free, consider applying for staff and help make wapchan the best retro board there is!

Hey ranchan, I'm willing to be a janny.
At least to delete obvious spam and cp.

I don't want to be a moderator, I would only like to delete obvious spam and illegal stuff.

That's fine, just send me a message with the same contents as the mod app (All the current mods don't do any event organizing, they're basically jannies)

>>794
Well, it does. And it doesn't at the same time, because 2hu is not only games, but also music, manga, fanfiction and even anime...

Not to mention that almost all touhou stuff is made in 2000s, while many boards here are about retro stuff.

Oh I see, was never a 2hu guy, only know it started with games and that there is a huge fanbase for some reason.

Been meaning to play more of the games myself, and we haven't had a new board in a while so I'll give it a shot. Should be up in a few hours.

why is it called wapchan?

figamin ## sysop 12/5/22 (Mon) 21:25:05 No.765

>>764
Definitely not because of that song.
From the FAQ and History page ( https://wapchan.org/.static/pages/faq.html )
>The name "Wapchan" was inspired by the term "wapanese" that used to be common on the internet in the early 2000s that meant "white japanese", or someone obsessed with japanese culture, which eventually fell out of use and was replaced by "weaboo" due to a 4chan word filter. Since wapchan focuses on the older aspects of anime, it's a fitting name. Also, I didn't come up with it, as that honor goes to this anon ( https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/229564359/#229604844 )
I kind of always knew this comparison would be made now and again, but the name stuck out to me more than something like "oldchan" or "celchan"

I see now, very well! FWIW it seemed the channel wasn't registered because someone was surprised at being OP, I hope they'll be willing to transfer it? Or maybe you opped them idk. Either way I'll idle around a bit.

Also, I can give you a code to replace the CyTube chat with Rizon's IRC directly and not have to share two separate chats with a relay bot if you like. Up to you doe, of course.

For some reason, the daemon keeps crashing after a while, and the logs directory wasn't properly setup, so I've fixed that. I'll check on it tomorrow and try to figure what's been going on.

Why are wapchan anons so shy?
When some anon makes a thread I often see a lot of replies shortly after, but people hesitate to make their own thread for some reason.

Go ahead and make threads about stuff you want to discuss and if there is no board for that talk to ranchan my friends.

If you were to compare to /a/ and most anime boards one of the main differences is that anime communities are unified around seasonal anime, whereby everyone is watching the same batch of shows all at the same time. With older stuff people are just picking out whatever shows interest them from all of anime history, so there is less chance that if you make a thread about some anime that there will even be anyone to talk to you about it.

One thing that used to be done on /m/ was a group watch whereby everyone watched 1 episode of an anime per day or per week and there would be a thread for everyone who partook to discuss it.

anon 9/29/22 (Thu) 06:16:48 No.694

The curse of all alt chans, where people spend more time bitching in meta threads than actually talking about things.

I have never made a thread on 4chan, ever before. So I have some questions
Can I make two threads in the same board? Or does previous thread get deleted? Is it possible to make 2 threads in 2 seperate boards?

Yes
>does previous thread get deleted?
Threads rarely get deleted unless they're obvious (usually automated) spam
>Is it possible to make 2 threads in 2 seperate boards?
Yes. More discussion is always appreciated around here. Don't be afraid to make threads!

Fall Update figamin ## sysop 9/8/22 (Thu) 23:08:15 No.670 [Reply]

Now that September has rolled around, I figure it's about time we'd have another update. Here's whats on the table:

>New board approval
We're planning on adding a few more boards for certain topics
>/cor/ - retro western animation and comics
>/tech/ - technology and associated gadgetry
>/vr/ - old games, but better than 4/vr/
As always I'll run a poll just to see if people generally like these ideas, if so I'll probably add them over the weekend
https://cgi.heyuri.net/vote/vote.php?p=216

>Game server restructuring
I'm going to overhaul the game servers. Currently planning to remove most of the extra sourcemod servers besides one of each game, just because they've been empty for months. In their place I'll be adding a TF2 server that runs many of the same sourcemod plugins and (finally) a minecraft server, notably on beta 1.7.3 (peak minecraft IMO). We may add another game if there's sufficient interest. This will all be setup sometime this month when I have time.

>Community expansion
This isn't a new topic but since we had some discussion on it recently I though I'd bring it up again. While I do run a bit of a personal social media presence now for youtube and twitter, those of course aren't directly related to wapchan (topics are sorta related), so I was wondering how the community would feel about a social media presence for the site itself. Maybe a project related to the site?

>Streams
Planning on doing a stream sometime soon ish. I know I haven't done one in ages so send some ideas over.

That's all I've got for now. Keep it real wap.

To be fair the poll was meant to be checkbox style. Didn't see any posts against /cor/ so I felt like it had potential. But that's just me, if it's really unpopular I can remove it.

figamin ## sysop 9/17/22 (Sat) 06:20:00 No.687

/cor/ was removed due to lack of interest
I'll make working polls in the future.
Also, moved this to meta because I put it in ar for some reason

I hope you all had a good Halloween. Unfortunately I have been far busier than expected for a while now (and have to makeup some work and exams this week), so I haven't had a lot of time to do stuff around here, but as always if any of you have ideas to improve the site I'd appreciate them.
