Board restructuring

So the current board system clearly isn't working well. I launched /mon/ as a pilot project just to see how much activity that could ~actually~ get.

My question to all is what could be done to make the site feel faster. A combined anime board would remove the uniqueness of the site but would also make it move faster. Other boards could be combined.
Maybe it can be cut down to five boards:
>/anm/ (or /ani/)
>/vnt/
>/lum
>/media/ (or /mm/)
>/wap/
Cutting the boards beyond that would lead to a lot of compromise. If anyone else has ideas, let me know

Odd request (and I don't know if it'd be possible) but I always find that wapchat is empty, I've idled around there for a few days and only ever saw two people join (both of which left right after). Would there be a way to add how many people are currently in wapchat to the board somehow?

I imagine people may want to join if there's someone there to talk to, or even idle about in for discussion others might bring. Not sure how many users would want to stick around that place and prefer the slow nature of the boards, but I think if people are bored and want to talk to some other fellow users it might be a good idea to show how many are in chat.

This is a very cool site. Question:

Great site. Super high effort, I love everything here. Question, is there an /a/ board? I tried looking around and I found cel and digi, for retro and 2000s... wait, by 2000s did you mean from 2000 to 2024+? I thought it just meant to 2009. whoops...

Anyway, I've been looking for a better 4chan for a long time so I hope this is the one.

Looking for Devs/Artists & Community People

Hello,

As some of you may know, aside from a few hardworking janitors, Wapchan is and has been entirely run by me (figamin) for the past three years. The site's had ups and downs, but it is in a fairly stable place, and I want to put my attention towards other projects - not that this site will get abandoned, but when you're the only one running the ship, you have to look after it a lot.

With that in mind, I'm reaching out to you all to say that if you have any interest in working on the site or other wapchan related projects such as streams, youtube, site events, etc. in a role beyond janitorial staff (we have more than enough at the moment) then I would encourage you to contact me. I'm mostly looking for developers (to help with site work), artists (to help with site assets), and "community people" (for running the xitter/bluesky accounts), but if you've got a different talent to help out around here then still reach out. This goes without saying but you won't get paid in the short term - this site is run on a shoestring budget as is. You can reach me at admin@wapchan.org (unless you use cockmail since those emails tend to get filtered), figamin.net on bluesky, or figamin on xitter/discord. Or reply here if you have questions or really can't use any of those.

My hope is that with the site having a few more people looking after it, I can put my time towards other pursuits that could help this site in the long run (mainly my long put off youtube channel, but also rumic fighter).

A reminder that your complementary Wapchan Pass grants you captcha free posting and moderately better taste in /cel/ animation.

We should do something like a collage or just a big communal art piece for the new years. I know we're a lot smaller than /a/ but it would just be nice to have something, since this site is turning 3 and 2025 will likely be far more active than the past few years with how things have grown since the move to vichan. Maybe rope in the net friends?

Greetings from marzichan.org!
This site seems really cool! I remember looking at it alongside other altchans back when I was first setting up Marzichan. It looks like it's really grown in activity and features since then, great work!

I was wondering if you might be interested in being site friends - while Marzichan is still pretty loosely defined at the moment, its reason for existing is basically to foster a more fun and genuine imageboard community, without the rampant /pol/ infestation and hateful cynicism that dominates the most popular imageboards. We're similarly intolerant of bigotry, and I think our sites would be stronger together :)

One notable point of distinction is that we only have two boards currently (a general board and a meta board), since I believe filling up a single board with lots of activity will create a more fun and unified community than breaking people into a ton of boards to begin with. At least, that's the experiment I'm running right now lol
We don't have as much fancy customization as Wapchan, but I did put a lot of effort into its reserved theming, complete with small tweaks to site layout and JS to make things more consistent, visually pleasing, and usable for phoneposters.

Marzichan is over a year old now, but I didn't make any effort to advertise it (I was a little scared of getting swarmed with the wrong crowd), so until recently it's gone completely unnoticed. While we're getting a few posts here and there these days, it's still pretty quiet, so I understand if you don't think we're big enough to be linked here yet.

I ran sourcemod servers on here for a while, but those are niche in of themselves, so this time we're doing one server on the main game. This server is for suggestions, including

I'll get it up and running in the next few days or maybe sooner. Just gotta copy over some configs.

The Age-Old Question - How do we get more interaction and a sense of community on wapchan?

I really do love this website and the whole idea of it. I've been lurking for a long time here, about a few weeks after the site was launched and have scarcely posted here and there.
I just feel there's not much of a community or even a culture with wapchan, maybe except for /kind/.
I like the idea of the montly anime watch and video game, but it's clearly not working or driving much engagement.
How do we fix this?

SSH backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma release tarballs!
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4

After observing a few odd symptoms around liblzma (part of the xz package) on Debian sid installations over the last weeks (logins with ssh taking a lot of CPU, valgrind errors) I figured out the answer:

The upstream xz repository and the xz tarballs have been backdoored.

At first I thought this was a compromise of debian's package, but it turns out to be upstream.

Hello WapChan from SheepishPatio

Hey from the head janny of SheepishPatio
Ive been lurking(mostly) this site for a few months now and wanted to extend a hand of friendship.
Maybe this is a bit embarrassing, but i've got a lot of admiration for the development of this site and how its been administered. I love whats been done with the place, so I wanted to be friendly.

SheepishPatio is a web forum for hobbies, our users like books, games and anime among other things. You guys have a bit more of a retro focus than us but I think there'd be some good crossover.
The site is still developing with new features (some I'd really like to sort out) and my lot are a good bunch. It is a user based forum though so not anonymous, though you can use any email (real or otherwise). Just means that you wont be able to reset passwords without contacting me

If that sounds good to you, feel free to check us out. Otherwise i'll still see you here

Hello, wapchan, 2kind.moe here! Nobody had any issues with becoming friends.

Our site is well... kind! We like to take it easy over there. We welcome most topics, so long as discussion remains civil.
While we don't have any rules about it, our users don't care for the modern imageboard user.
/kind/ might not be as big as it once was, but you won't find such a dedicated userbase anywhere else!

Hopefully this introduction is satisfactory. I'll add you to our friends page.

Discussion on policy for /qa/ type memes

This thread is to discuss what the rules should be for /qa/ type memes (frogs, wojaks, soyjaks). Currently there has been no hard rules against these, since very few members of the existing userbase post them, but ever since the recent raid, we've been getting them more often, and it seems many users don't like them, so i'd like to make site policy firm on these kinds of memes. Here are some ideas.
>Ban all frogs/jaks sitewide
>Ban only soyjaks
>Ban soyjaks and restrict other memes to a containement board
I wouldn't even be opposed to a meme/old net culture board, but I would much prefer it to be classic 90s/2000s style memes, not the strange and abstract modern kind that has nothing to do with this site.

Clarification on NSFW policy

This thread is to discuss the current NSFW policy, since that's part of what caused this whole recent debacle. The current policy is that NSFW content should be censored, but I may have given off the impression that this is a prude website or something with that. Really I just dont want any of the boards to look like /h/ or /e/, but to have /a/ style rules on that. For example, this gif is probably about as explicit as you can go without censoring. Hopefully this makes things more clear.

Greetings from https://www.mootxi.co!

I come to formally introduce ourselves to the WapChan community as a response to our IRC discussion to your greeting and introduction on our site.

We are an imageboard born of the honest fun that once dominated the Internet. We rejects the current ironic culture (cringe/based, etc..) of the Internet and instead aim for a more traditional, oldschool approach that we think the Internet is desperately in need of right now.

Following our discussions, we will be adding a link to your site on our site and will gladly participate in your future events should we be invited. We are not many right now but hopefully we can both grow to a respectable size together as one in the near future.
We look forward to collaborating with WapChan!

With honest respect

Fall Update

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.

A mate of mine has a Win98 rig for older PC games and browsing sites like 4chan. It would be cool if there was a simplified layout option for Wapchan so it could run on older OSes for maximum immersion.

Technical issues thread

I know multiple wapnons have been having issues with replying and other aspects of the site. I mainly use arch and firefox, so if you could say
>what the problem is
>operating system
>browser
>extensions that you may think contribute
then I could test accordingly and hopefully fix these issues.

If you can't reply at all then send a message to admin@wapchan.org with your issues.

New boards

As >>>/ar/ reaches nearly 1000 total posts, I've been thinking about the future of this site. wapchan has always been focused around retro content, and there's no real plans to change that. However, I have heard many who say that while they like the site's design and features (especially the rule against political discussion), that they're just not interested in the topics on the boards. Since people have been suggesting these for a while, I'm proposing that two new boards be potentially added.
>/a2k/ - 2000s anime
>/am/ - Modern anime
This is not to detract from /ar/, but rather to give anons more options with their discussion topics. The fact that anime/manga would be split across 3 boards is a deliberate choice, as I did not want any specific era to feel "second class". I put it up for a vote, if we can get say maybe 25 for each then I'll add them (as in if one gets those votes and the other dosent ill add only one). Just wanted to run it by the community first.

Classic Server convoy map broken.

The convoy map in the classic server is broken to the point where nobody can join the server and anyone who was already in the server is kicked out.

I have no clue why this is but this needs to be fixed as it just locks people out of the server until it restarts. Either or fix it or remove it at least.

Hello,
I am from Tohno-Chan and just wanted to wish this chan well.
I'm not a representative of Tohno-Chan, just a user.

I had the intention of starting a website with similar goals to Wapchan, so it's encouraging to see that this is no longer needed.
All the best.

Spring Update + April Events

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 wapnons, so on these days I'll be on the IRC (probably at the usual watch p/ar/ty times)
- 3/26 (maybe, i might move this one to a different day)
- 4/9
- 4/23
I can do them during the week if that works too

And some miscellaneous stuff
>New WAP-FM songs
I haven't added songs to WAP-FM in a while, mostly because I wanted to keep disk usage down. But since I'm probably going to migrate this to a faster server sooner than later, I'll be adding songs from the suggestions thread on the weekend probably.
>wapTV
I don't monitor wapTV much, but from all accounts it's working well. I might pop in once in a while. There's still a lot of episodes to go with these shows, so I hope you're all enjoying them.
>Recruitment
This is something I want to try and work on, spreading awareness of this site. We've had ideas here and there but maybe we can work on something more coordinated during the spring.
>/ar/ collab video
This is something i'd enjoy working on, it can be in the vein of /a/ sings with an /ar/ twist or something more elaborate (one idea that comes to mind was the ill fated UY bong dub a few planned on /lum/ a while back)

That's what i've been cooking up, any ideas that you all have would be appreciated.
>why is the image sakura
I was in DC recently where the national cherry blossom festival was about to kick off, so I thought it was appropriate. If you have the time, try to find some sakura trees in your area. They're really nice and a great symbol of springtime.

Expansion of Lum 24/7

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

jannies

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

Hosting an /a/ tournament

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.

Event suggestion thread

This is a thread where you can suggest future event ideas, whether that be content for watch parties (/ar/, /a2k/ or other), game night ideas, or any other board event ideas you have. Also, if you want to host an event yourself related to the site, I can add it to the calendar if you post what it's about here.

Hello Wapchan, I come to you in my time of need. I'm old enough to have seen all the franchises I've loved get killed and corrupted, but i dont want to give this one up atleast not without resistence. Please help an old man out.

Greetings from 22Chan.org

Hello wapchan! It's nice to see a fellow like-minded imageboard out there and we thought it'd be nice to say hi and introduce ourselves.
The goal of 22 is to steer clear from the things that made 4chan cancerous which is why the userbase is relaxed and the site is comfy. We're not a nostalga board but it is an aspect of the community. We hope you guys have a nice day and that everything works out with your board.

Could you please unban me, I wont spam id just like to make one thread dedicated to sweet Ran and in other threads I wont spam her.
I didnt make the thread to be annoying, I just love her very much and she belongs on a retro anime site.

Proposal for linking Wapchan with Heyuri!

Hello ranchan-san,

I am a moderator at heyuri.net, it's a BBS with a Futaba style imageboard, a 2channel style textboard, an oekaki board, a western Ayashii World copy, and cool users

At first glance it could seem like an interwebz nostalgia site, but it's more about having fun in the way we used to do in early 2000s, with some rulez to keep nu-4chan AIDS out.

I think it's fitting perfectly with this site, and linking two would benefit both sides!

One month of wapchan!

This site has been up for a month now, and despite some technical issues along the way, things for the most part have been pretty smooth on here. Some statistics
>60.23 gigabytes of total bandwidth used
>~423 unique IPs (only counted the most recent logs
>628 posts
>376 media files
>493.49 MB of total media stored
>18 peak listener count on WAP-FM
Some additional thoughts
>I'll be adding another board very soon, /br/ for topics not covered by /ar/ but that don't belong in /meta/ like old movies and tech. If specific topics get enough traction on there they may be spun off into separate boards.
>I do want to get some sort of chat service working, probably matrix or xmpp based since discord is presumably an unpopular option.
>If you've ever seen the site go down with a 502 error, that's me working on the backend in real time. I'm gonna setup a testing mirror of this site so that won't happen in the future
>Still looking into the weekly episodic stream idea
Almost forgot this
>I'll probably be looking for a few jannies to help clean up around here as the traffic increases. More info on that to come
I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed to making this place feel like a home for retro anime and manga fans in just the first month. We got valentine's day coming up, so make sure you and your retro waifus/husbandos are ready!
