>>864 >>867 I'm so tired of moving but I guess as long as it's on the webring and the threads can be moved, it's not that big of a deal.

/film/ STAYS ON JULAY >>>/meta/10485

>>869 That's cool. I saw a couple people making favorable comments about /film/ in the previous /meta/ threads. Maybe that made a difference. It's good that anon.cafe got a nice traffic boost out of this too. The new photography board over there seems promising. I think it would have been okay if we moved there.

/film/ was ackshually the last board on the list because /jenny/ is setting up its own imageboard Although /mu/ /x/ and /retro/ have fewer posts

>>870 anon.cafe is getting too bloated as well, not far is the day when it'll start downsizing too. It's better to remain one of julay's few (((chosen))) ones.

>>869 Was fully expecting the board at cafe, but in the long run this is probably better due to unlimited webm/pdfs and the already sizeable content here without needing to move threads. Oh well, i think someone needs to notify or comment at Cafe's /meta/, they thought twice about us and approved the board only for it to be deleted days later due to this new list. They might hold animosity if we run away like nothing.

Also now that i think of it, i'm surprised /x/ got picked over /retro/, /strek/, /sw/ and /film/, it has very few things going on. /mu/ not that surprised taking into account it's owned by globals, so i guess Paranormal must be too.

>>874 The cafe bunker was not deleted, it is unlisted according to their rules (and to reduce clutter in the webring).

>>876 Apologies, i thought it was deleted because the delisting feature here at Julay has been broken since forever

>>875 /x/ was one of the earliest boards, the list is mostly based on julay OGs

Why can't I upload videos? ;-; it reaches 99% and then hits me with "connection failed"

>>974 change your IP and refresh

>>977 Nothing, and I've tried with two different networks all together

That's weird. I haven't uploaded a video lately but I only get a connection error if I use a bad Vpn or I'm downloading something at max speed.

>>980 I, for one, welcome my new spyware overlords

>>974 Maybe try the old domain? I did get an error at first on spqrchan, but then it worked when I tried again. Julay worked on the first try.

Did the board move somewhere? It's unusually quit here.

>>1055 *quiet

>>1055 I'm still here, just working a lot lately. What happened to /liberty/ and /monarchy/ though? I liked the political boards that used to be on julay.

>>1057 They have their own bunker now. Julay is done for tbqhwy.

>>1062 Their bunker stopped working So /liberty/ and /monarchy/ moved to 8chan.moe, /fascist/ (and /k/) moved to anon.cafe The decentralized chan model was promising at first, but now it seems to have failed. Most people won't bother to use a small site. Maybe activity would increase if the full webring could be viewed on a single overboard, but that seems like a pain to implement.

>>1063 >The decentralized chan model was promising at first, but now it seems to have failed. Nah it's working fine. Just because some boards consist of weak, lazy faggots doesn't really compromise the entire thing. >if the full webring could be viewed on a single overboard

>>1064 The whole "full webring on a single overboard" thing is supposedly being made by Robi i think, but like you implied we still can browse everywhere just fine with the webring button. But people won't do it

>>1065 You're talking about the final solution? Yeah that thing is never happening at this point it's safe to say I think.

I don't mean to alarm us, but if i were some of you i would back the board up just in case something strange happens after 5 days.

>>1067 truedat

are we going to get holocausted

>>1072 nah

>>1072 >>1074 Update: Yes.

>>1084 We're still here so: nah

Anons we need to recover from this.

>>1132 To be fair i haven't posted much this year because i'm afraid of ending up talking with myself again, also i really haven't watched any films recently... at least ones worth a talk. I do visit often to read anything i can find, don't reply because they touch topics and themes above my head but i do enjoy learning about them.

>>1133 I feel it's still important to post something just to keep the board alive for other people to find it.

The board has been seriously weakened by losing all the images. We should discuss our future. We have the option to stay here, move to anon.cafe, or call it quits. It's apparent that /film/ is a low priority here. We were omitted from the recent migration and there's been no urgency to restore the images. I have tried to contact Robi for other reasons and he's ignored me, which validates concerns about his unresponsiveness that caused /k/ to leave months ago. Finally the new URL is very /cow/-specific which doesn't fit our board. In spite of these problems, the posts are still here. Moving to anon.cafe means starting from zero. Someone suggested manually copying threads over there. That would take some time, but it might be faster than waiting for this board to get fixed. Anon.cafe seems like a better home for our content and the URL is an improvement. Traffic is the same on both sites. A downside to moving to our backup is that we no longer have a backup if it goes away. Or, we can let the board die. We've lost plenty of users since 8chan originally went down. The latest episode has almost killed /film/ completely. Is there enough energy to continue? Barely. What do you guys want to do?

>>1150 Well giving up isn't an option. I do agree that Robi completely fucked over julay in the last couple of months and now it's pretty much dead. I was generally against moving when there still was some slim chance of things going back to the way they used to be, but this whole "rebranding" thing did nothing except cater to /cow/ and nobody else. The url is terrible and there's zero communication with administration, they only care about their autistic infighting now. I guess we have no choice but to move. I'm gonna copy a few threads of mine manually if we decide to move to anon.cafe. It's a bit of a pain in the ass but generally doable. There aren't that many threads here to begin with and we don't need to re-make every single one.

>>1151 I don't think even /cow/ really likes the whole rebranding thing. It was utterly retarded and solved no problem at all. He could have just deleted all the boards he didn't want without the name change since the central issue he had was that the server storage was getting full. Robi's not exactly unresponsive, though. If you hop into the IRC during afternoon to evening euro hours, then you'll catch him. That said, you only have like two or three days to catch him as he's going away for four months again.

>>1152 >Robi's not exactly unresponsive, though. <I have tried to contact Robi for other reasons and he's ignored me Fuck robi

>>1150 >We've lost plenty of users since 8chan originally went down. To be fair, we don't need people who can't find the webring for over a year.

>>1150 Move, but copy some of the threads first. Fuck this shithole

>>1150 Don't let it die. I don't even think it's necessary to copy everything over, but I'm just willing to bow to popular consensus so that too much time doesn't pass.

>>1150 Damn i came late, didn't see the reply back in AC. >We have the option to stay here, move to anon.cafe, or call it quits. I would say move to the Cafe, calling it quits from your part would be a gigantic blow but if you feel like that for some reason might as well announce it now. I think i can say with confidence that everyone would like you to go on, we are on this ride together and have been for 5 years at this point (myself just 4). >Is there enough energy to continue? Barely. As long as there's 2 active users + BO in my opinion it can go on for a while, lurkers are an unknown factor that might appear out of nowhere and in a slow overboard like Cafe exposure seems easier. My help about copypaste migration still stands until wednesday and then from friday and on to be fair doing so with 8k's catalog might be hard because i never grasped the fact it had the full 25 pages of threads (at most i thought 12 max for some reason) but i find it plausible with this one. It's a matter of seeing which threads to migrate and if everyone agrees to fuse certain "recent" (first 3 pages) threads from the old place too. Here's 2 screenshots of the catalogs and migration candidates based on quick ignorant glances, red are go and green optional, characters at the end means fusing them in my criteria. As you might see i ignored some good threads because they were mainly images and the depository thread doesn't have even quarter of them. Yay, nay? >>1152 >as he's going away for four months again. Robi is a strange gambit but he usually is direct when found, if he goes into thin air we are left with 2 characters in SMars and Hanging_Flesh. The former is responsive but powerless, the other has enough power (as he is second-in-command since Julay became popular) but contacting and negotiating with him might as well be a ghost hunting adventure. >>1154 >we don't need people who can't find the webring for over a year. I somewhat agree but to be quite fair i found the webring months later around December and it was by mere chance from a shitty twitter joke account when i was lurking the comment section of a retarded Q-related post linking to the 8chan account. Sure i might've found it later by legit announcements but it took me 3 months or so before those, i can easily see someone quitting after a month or two. 8kun deletes posts linking to most webring sites (i tried it) and while the /film/ board there did link this bunker i think right now that link is dead and shamefully some anons are silly enough to not even see the announcement bar, let alone if they found 8kun to begin with. Still, in this thread we are more than 3 users so i think that's enough for a rebirth.

Okay, we're moving. You can start moving threads that have all/most images first. We'll have to work on filling the blanks on the others. I suppose many images came from a websearch originally. If nothing else, there are small thumbs on archive.org/archive.is. And I probably have more images that I never posted (I stopped looking because the restoration script never came). I'm sorry that I failed to get the scraper working to automate the process. I think I got close, but given my inexperience with python I could not proceed beyond this point.

>>1158 Very well, i will start in 2 hours and stop until i get asleep which i suspect will be in 6 or 7 hours, then i'll resume and finish it unless i get asleep again. I can do that alone, easy and steady, but if anyone wants to help i would highly recommend watching a movie or thinking of something to post when we come back.

>>1158 >>1159 Are you guys manually copying over code from each thread?

>>1161 I'm doing so right now, copypasting texts and checking in the Internet Wayback Machine for thumbnails unless i remember one from the depository thread. Been having some trouble because the Cafe is crashing, maybe it's my posting but i don't know, never seen it happen before other than maintenance reasons previously announced.

>>1162 And it simply won't let me post, getting tons of connection errors. Will resume tomorrow, it's quicker than i expected so it might be done the same day if i don't get those pesky errors. I checked and it seems to be a problem from server side, really weird i honestly don't remember that kind of thing from all the months i've been going there.

Maybe it would be better to post missing images in the original threads

What now?

>>1174 WTF happened?!
