Wow, the old /prog/ is completely dead right now. All threads on the front page are spam and capped at 1000 posts.

>>11 The trick he used is replying to post already at 1k, with Lain, and manually wrote the captcha. Whatever.

I made a new thread (`123456789') and it was deleted, so the mods definitely know. Question is, how did they fuck that up for new threads, but not for replies when logically they would use the same variable? Also, reporting works again, where as before it was giving a MySQL error for a while. moot must be trying to rewrite Shiitchan or something.
>>17 RedCream and the /lounge/ crew have tablecat. /vip/ probably won't be bothered too much. I don't know what the deal with /lang/ is, as I haven't even bothered to check up on them in years. /abbc/ is ('-`)b and doesn't seem concerned. /newnew/ and /newpol/ were filled with transients anyway I think, so they don't matter. /comp/ and /tech/ always belonged to /g/, so fuck 'em. /sjis/ might have a problem. The rest are unimportant, but I'm sure the SEO shitheads will miss the easy backlinks from 4chan.
By the way, we should probably get a scrape of the rest of the boards, in case worse comes to worse. I don't have very much bandwidth, so can I ask this as a favor please?

>>20 Yeah, I'm on it now. It could take a very long time. Hopefully I get it all before it is taken down.
>>23 I doubt it, but you never know. moot may decide if his incompetent code monkey can't add captcha to the text boards without breaking the thread submission box, then maybe they aren't worth the trouble.

>>25 I'll get the shitty small boards tomorrow, just in case they have anything interesting: /food/, /book/, /sports/, /anime/, /sci/, /music/, /carcom/, /img/, and /tele/. I doubt anyone else will want them, but I'll archive and upload them for anyone who does.

>>26 With a diverse userbase some might want to post on topics which aren't programming.(/sci/, /music/ and /anime/ for example)

>>28 So you suggest that your /prog/ will be filled with off-topic posts? IF you want a good signal-to-noise ratio you have to segregate the content.
frozenvoid, you're being really annoying again. I'm happy to have you back, but go smoke some weed or something and come back later.

Isn't it possible to write a user script to find the new thread form and correct the action URL so it's not %FORUMURL% ? I would look into this, but I can't be bothered when the site is full of spammers and necrobumpers anyway...
>>30 I'm fine with adding a lounge board, but I won't add single interest boards, the site has just started and it's best not to fragment it right from the beginning.
>>33 That's cool. I'm still going to archive all of world4ch, compress it, and upload it somewhere so those left there can view something of their past.
>>37 No, it's a program/file format that implements the LZMA2 compression algorithm. Comes standard on most Linux distributions, and is far better than 7zip.
