/site/ - Site Issues

The board for discussing site related issues, questions, concerns, and suggestions.
Name
?

This field is optional. You can choose any name you want, or you can post anonymously by leaving this field empty.

Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email
?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

Upcoming site migration ## ModCountry code: blank.gif, country type: blank, valid: 17893[View All]


Migration
We've been talking about renaming/rebranding the site for a while now, and while some stuff has come up that delayed it, it's officially finally going to happen next Tuesday, August 10th.
Banners
Since we're no longer going to be an explicitly MLP dedicated site (not that we've really been much of one for a while now), we're going to retire a bunch/most of our banners, which means we're going to need some new ones. If you're artistically inclined (or at least feel like contributing in general), we'd love to have some new ones for variety. They don't need to be worthy of being recorded in the art history books, but we'd like them to be at least relatively nice looking. You don't need to be a Van Gogh or a da Vinci to make a nice looking banner.
Banner rules:
1. The vertical resolution should be no more than 150px, and the horizontal resolution should be about 600px.
2. They need to be safe for work
3. If you want it to be used for a specific board, make sure you specify that in your post.
4. They have to have the site title (Pchan) or domain (Pchan.co) on it, or at least a title that vaguely represents it (a joke title is acceptable, as long as the name isn't taken by another site).
5. You can make an animated one if you want, it isn't required. If it's animated, it should be a .gif file. If it's not, it should be a .png or a .jpg/.jpeg file
6. Keep banner submissions to this thread.

Toybox has the final say in banner submissions.

Something is happening. Not sure what. Pchan.co now leads to the defunk MLPchan. So work is in progress, I guess, cause it didn't do that a few hours ago. I'm watching it happen.

ngl pchan.co looks the same so far. Probably still a work-in-progress, but still I hope it's a good migration.

If anything, I think the opposite might be best. 99.999% of the people on /arch/ are long-gone and I doubt anyone but bots even looks at it anymore, so it might be a good idea for someone to just download all the threads and uploads, adjust the links to point to local files (instead of ponychan-specific ones)

The majority of the migration stuff is done.

I wasn't really paying attention to the date, I just chose it because I had the day off.

Can we get a date or should the excited and curious among us just lurk here for updates?

Because I have a life outside of development and am admittedly bad at estimating time frames. I could technically just do things as soon as I have availability, but I'd rather not do that so I can give people notice in advance so they don't wonder why the site is hiccuping. Also with this latest one, there was an issue with DNS and I was having trouble getting in contact with Toybox.
>Inb4 > Ohno an opinion by anonymous
>to which I would reply "Why are you steelmanning my position?"
I take (almost) all criticism seriously, as long as it's legitimate criticism and not something along the lines of "ur site sux kill urself faggot".
>Can we get a date or should the excited and curious among us just lurk here for updates?
Well the staff first needs to come up with some agreement on what the front should say when the user accesses pchan.co instead of ponychan.net. After that, it should be relatively easy to implement. I brought it up in a staff chat a couple days or so ago, but that went nowhere, so I guess I should probably bring it up again.

Optics : the way in which an event or course of action is perceived by other people.
> or how it applies to /arch/ and the users on it
Imagine if you will someone saying to a time-traveler that came in a time stasis sacophagi "Trololol, all your friends are dead". That is the most extreme in which I think I can pull what just happened.
> [ its late ] Because I have a life outside of [ ... ]
Noone is blaming you for being late. I used that as example for something being bad optics.
However on the count of being late on a project for which I saw a few anonymous users are waiting. How about some status updates coming from your side without anyone feeling like they have to ask for it.
or, you know, anypony, probably one of the few times I can still say that without getting jumped for it
> I take (almost) all criticism seriously
A noble trait. Yes, this is a direct compliment and should be taken as such.
> Well the staff first needs to come up with some agreement on what the front should say when the user accesses pchan.co instead of ponychan.net.

Honestly, I am baffled. Its been months since >>17082 and I just simply thought it would be easier for me to just vanish and look upon the 'fresh start' as a 'fresh start' when it came as it was sold as an inevitability.
But this, wow, just wow. There are a million things I could say but I just wanna wish you luck.
