/wap/ - wapchan discussion

Konbanwa kaguya-tan,
I visited your site and found it quite /comfy/.
I agree that partnership would be great for both sites! We should move forward with this.

Admin tag didn't show up for some reason

not affiliated with him >>136, just curious about this new venture

>>139
I think it would be good for us. While I had no desire of joining the big imageboard webring (since this would just be a board lost among otherboards), this site seems like it's been doing well independently and they seem to have somewhat of a similar culture. Don't think of it as anything too formal, but it's nice to be friends with other like minded boards on the net.

>>140
i just took a quick look around and i think you're right, the only thing im a bit iffy about is the discord thingy but i dont think that will effect us, hopefully. for what its worth my you got my support in that matter

>>141
It seems that while they have a discord, they mainly use IRC which is nice. I don't think it'll be a problem

>>142
>irc
didnt you want to implement one aswell?

>>143
We have one (it's the bottom link on the front page) but it's pretty barebones and I don't use it much. I might switch to a XMPP based system and have an IRC relay but I would like to use it more for talking with anons about stuff

>>144
Wait what, when did that happen?

>>145
It's been there since day 3 I just didn't make an announcement about it, it's been one of those things I've been meaning to get back to at some point (like horus gallery, that's gonna eventually be a spiritual successor to horus urusei eye but also hosting /lum/ art and other content)

strange that i missed it, i thought i explored this site fully; by the way i was referering this comment of yours:
>I do want to get some sort of chat service working

>>147
Ah understandable, I meant one that people (including myself) actually used. IRC is just one option, I mentioned XMPP and matrix since those are more "modern" solutions (of course we could always have one of those with an IRC relay)
I'll probably make a post about this soon asking for user feedback on what the direction should going forward regarding this.

>>148
the only wish i would have for a direct chat would be that it's anonymous, just generate random names or something like that

>>149
I don't know if any of these services actually support forced anonymity, but any user can always give themselves a random name (even around here users always have the option to use names even if most choose not to)

>>150
ok fair enough, you seem to have a solid plan for your site.

>>151
thank you for your feedback, i can't guess how everyone feels about all my choices for how i run things around here so some back and forth gives me a better idea

>>152
i'm just one anon, i cant and wont speak for the others, i just want to see this site be succesful because its really comfy what you did here so far and it would be a shame if it goes to ruin, but im glad my input means something.

>>136
I am happy you accepted! I made a links page and added Wapchan on Heyuri, you can find it linked on static pages: https://www.heyuri.net/index.php?p=links
UR turn nao, I see there already is a static "Links" page on Wapchan

>>140
That's exactly how I think too, net friendships aren't meant to be Serious Business. It won't be anything else than fun!

>>141
There is a Discord server, but it's only for post notifications - It's allowing a relatively small userbase to instantly get notified whenever someone makes a new post, and it's certainly not an "off-site chatroom" as one might think it is.

>>150
>I don't know if any of these services actually support forced anonymity
There are forced-anonymous IRCd softwares actually, but you would need to set the IRC server (and not just channel) to use them. Or you could create a channel on an existing IRC server of course, but I wouldn't really suggest it: that would attract trolls. If it's just "generating random nicks", there isn't anything preventing anyone from joining an ordinary IRC room with different nicknames each time.

>>154
i added it to the links page as well as put a link to that page in the footer. looking forward to being net friends!

I'm iffy on a merger, but having a sister site sounds like a lot of fun. I think we could have something real good building here.

>>156
there's no plans for a merger and likely never will be, don't worry. just two sites with somewhat similar cultures having a good time
