[_] Is 4chan running out of money? Anon 3514802 first, they put in a sitewide timer to reduce traffic from bots and shitposters now /gif/ is only five pages and the archive is gone. these must be attempts to reduce the amount of content 4chan has to serve and thereby lower costs. what does /f/ think?
>> [_] Anon 3514804 I think 4chan is funded by something like CIA these days and can't have money problems. They might fake having money problems to make it seem like it isn't a honey pot.
>> [_] Anon 3514805 I think they are currently low on the money, because in May 2022 the fee was 4400$ per month and now with inflation this fee must have escalated. And they try to filter many bots and shitposters as much is it possible because muh laws n shiet and probably hiromoot is trying to do two birds one stone by making users bying 4chan passes and remove shitters. As for /gif/, nothing of value is lost as is it too far gone.

The largest of these being the downloading of files, hence why /gif/ being culled for monetary reasons isn't so implausible, everything there has large relative filesize and it's users download things more than most due to it being a board centred around the sharing of media. Even so, he only does so to gain more bucks, the same reason he added the 15 minute captcha which itself is merely a double down on the very first thing he did after buying the website. Spam? Why would he care? As I mentioned earlier uploads have no effect on the amount served here, as one thread is made another is killed, it maintains itself. Hypothetically, let's suppose however 4chan does face financial issues. If you are going to start paying money for this site then why not start paying for your own or going to an altchan and paying for that instead? Why remain?
>> [_] Anon 3514828 I for one welcome the change. It had a significant impact on average post quality. It's a very simple concept, that increasing the amount of effort or cost (in this case time or willingness to get a fat banhammer/dox on yourself) filters low effort shitposter, so that only people who REALLY want to reply go through it. I'm very v e r y happy though that /f/ was spared that measure as it would have been practically meaningless. Just another sign of the masterrace of upload board /f/ as opposed to the plebeian image boards. /gif/ and the archive though are indeed alarming developments. Even if 4chan probably doesn't have any money related problems anymore like in the olden days, cutting cost with no visible impact on userbase is alway something a coorporation will try to achieve. Now g00kmoot rakes in the 4chan passes while paying way lower cost. I mean he has to break even that aquisition price somehow.

[_] Janitor applications are now being accepted for the next ~72 hours. Anon 3499016 Will YOU volunteer to keep our board safe? Those zeitgeist threads don't clean themselves up you know! Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 3499017 thanks anon I have sent an application... I hope the pay is good.
>> [_] Anon 3499021 zeitgeist can stay but fuck those gachimuchi faggots. /f/ is basically dead discussion-wise, but sometimes there's a thread with more than 10 replies, but thursgay always wipes those types of threads of the board
>> [_] Anon 3499022 >># I'm pretty sure a few of them are bots.
>> [_] Anon 3499023 >># yeah I hate them too. yes we get it it's thursday again. /f/ does not need to see the same ten files spammed 52 times a year.
>> [_] Anon 3499025 /f/ needs to have 150 threads like any other board, without a date time limit termination. It is necessary, in it will solve many lacking issues without changing much. Just 10MB fixed files per thread in a text only board, come on, don't tell me it can't be done. Just one "random day gay wave" in a single moment wipes out the whole board. It is impossible to engage around a thread here. Just increasing the thread amount and let the threads sink down like any other board will solve that without having to moderate those waves.
>> [_] Anon 3499026 How about instead of oldest threads, we actually delete the ones with least activity, like any other board?
>> [_] Anon 3499027 >those replies I see /f/ ist still filled with newfags. Some things never change, I guess.
>> [_] Anon 3499028 >># if you are getting angery about people disliking gachimuchi, it is less of a newfag problem and more of a you being a fag problem. i like Aniki as much as the next /f/riend but the board doesn't need to be buttraped every Thursday
>> [_] Anon 3499029 >># >I see /f/ ist still filled with newfags Fortunately there's still newfags interested in flash. That would seem to be obvious after the flash apocalypse and an universe of users left out in the cold. But, still, /f/ seems to be designed to kill any interest left in flash.
>> [_] Anon 3499036 >># It's incredible. Faggot complaining about /f/ threads only lasting for 3 days instead of 5 because of thursgay, as if the board is not already dead enough. Back in the day, /f/ had a completely new set of flashes every 12 hours. But what do you expect from a Zeitgeist nigger.
>> [_] Anon 3499041 >># Zeitgeist is finished on /f/, if you post zeitgeist you will be banned. Even posting those flashes that are sort of gravestones for zeitgeist - 4chan vs zeitgeist parts 1 to 4, flashes get deleted. If you check swfchan, that's where zeitgeist is posting now. I've been at least posting new thursgay flashes so at least it's not the same ones over and over.
>> [_] Anon 3499044 >># nta, but as one who doesn't like those "thursgay" string of flashes, my intention is not to get rid of those, but to point out the obvious, that there's not enough space to accommodate those "happy trains" along with the rest of the threads. /f/ needs a change, because there's no other place to have a community exchange around flash anymore. SwfChan is not a place for that, and I ain't making an account on Newgrounds just to have a little bit of anonymous fun with flash along with a little community circle. Why can't we have just a standard board like everyone else here? We don't even ask for image posting. We just need enough space for everyone, even the goddam gachi-faggots. I don't even care about that, but if one happy train of faggots will wipe the whole board in a minute, then I do care.

>> [_] blathering_the_obvious.swf 3499061 >># >I ain't making an account on Newgrounds Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to enjoy any type of modern flash community. Despite the fact that Tom Fulp has ruffle enabled on Newgrounds (woopty fuckin doo), flash movies/games need at 75 votes in order to pass judgement these days. That means 75 individual modern Newgrounds users, who are no older than 8 years old and only there for fnf related movies/fangames, would have to figure out how to navigate the site well enough to vote for your movie. The main reason for this change is exactly what you might expect. When the great Tumblr exodus of 2018 happened, he welcomed all the furries and SJWs with open arms, and encouraged them to make Newgrounds their own; Fulp wholeheartedly hates Newgrounds' older content, and most of all, he hates the old flash spam groups. Anything you have ever seen on /f/, he lumps in with old flash spam. Even if the flash spam is creative and actually funny. Like others have said, /f/ is really important and basically the only place left on the internet (that has a chance to survive) to share your love of flash. I still see original flashes being posted onto /f/, albeit minimum effort loops and anime oriented animation experiments. If only this place had like 20+ active users, and weekly spammers decided to slow their fucking role, the few new artists that experiment with flash would strive to improve and make even cooler stuff, if people actually paid attention to it.
>> [_] Anon 3499062 >># I'm all for simple loops, that way I can find a new song or even a new genre of music I didn't know I would like, or anime I could watch all I'm saying is /f/ has been a great way to find cool shit for me through those loops
>> [_] Anon 3499067 Does anyone think this thread will survive Sim Date Saturday + Cirno Day?
>> [_] Anon 3499078 >># >If only this place had like 20+ active users, and weekly spammers decided to slow their fucking role, the few new artists that experiment with flash would strive to improve and make even cooler stuff, if people actually paid attention to it. That can be fixed with more threads, like the rest of the boards in this site. That's all. I'm saying that because, those spammers are the beating heart of the board even when I hate their shit spam, they keep the board alive, and they also are the constant viewers of whatever new thing appears here. And if a new janny comes along to ban them and take that shit away from them, that would be a mistake I think. The board needs more room period, it's not that complicated.
>> [_] Anon 3499079 Also the "anime rule" needs to be updated to allow original content here, or just taken out of the rules completely. Of course no one pays attention to that, but some confused janny could enforce that nonsense and make this board automatically non-viable and unusable. And there goes /f/ bye bye.
>> [_] Anon 3499080 >># lmao what. that rule has not ever even once been enforced. maybe the first week of the board's entire existence but never since. of all concerns about /f/ that one is not warranted.
>> [_] Anon 3499081 >># tha gachi spam doesn't start any conversations, there are maybe 1 or 2 posts on all of them combined And do you have any evidence they stay here after they post those flashes? It truly could be a bot spamming them for all we know
>> [_] Anon 3499082 >># the only rule that should be added is no webms converted to swfs, unless it actually has some interactibility
>> [_] Anon 3499083 >># I know, that's why I'm pointing that out. They are scouting new jannies now and if a new one is assigned to /f/ and if he/she takes a look at that "rule" and decides to apply it, that could be a disaster. Hopefully that won't be happening.
>> [_] Anon 3499085 >># I totally agree with that. I don't get the videoclip in swf format direct convertion, why? A flash (swf) is an interactive media format. That's the whole reason to make a flash thing.
>> [_] Anon 3499086 I just looked at newgrounds for the first time in like 8 years and foamy the squirrel still gets featured daily. Like fucking how? The dude that shits those movies out got so lazy he cant even draw his own backgrounds anymore, he uses AI now https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/8 98284
>> [_] Anon 3499094 Yep, it sure is newfags in here. Learn to respect traditions. Change traditions yourself over time if you want to. Like SimDate guy literally popped up some weeks ago. Gachi wasn't a thing of the old times. It just appeared one day. And it is already dying out with the death of Aniki. Both can be seen as good or bad it doesn't matter. /f/ is like the weekend friend you come to visit only to watch the same old shit you are familiar with. But it is comforting. The rest of the internet shows what happens when you don't have that anymore. You can make and post original flashes any other day. Enough time to have anons see it. If you don't at least spend 10 min every day checking the page you aren't a real /f/ag anyhow. Sure it's not arousing to see the same flashes every weekday. But there are enough of them to not have the same ones every week. You want an endless board of 0 reply threads? Just browse swfchan. You want only /generals/? On /f/ every thread is equal. If you cannot communicate a thread over 2-3 days, what is the point anyway? Endless political banter? Shitpost reply of the day? I've seen some threads rise over 300 posts. Where there is a meme there is a thread. >># I had a video of DHMIS removed once for ... some reason.
>> [_] Anon 3499097 >># We need more threads and no termination date. Period. We want that change. I would love to build flash projects and ask for feedback or even add contributions like scripts or ideas. But you can't do that in three days, and you can't do that on a head of a needle with a bunch of desperate factions pushing each other out of the board everyday.
>> [_] Anon 3499099 >># Then post them parallel. There are multiple flash boards and some of them are better or worse for that thing. Swfchan has multiple dedicated flash creators over there. You can always share your finished project with /f/. Or better just post a daily update. And read the archived thread to see the replies. Do you think you're the first person to develop a flash under these conditions? >desperate factions Haha, oh wow. I think you misunderstand how /f/ works. It's like a "best of" the flash world. You participate in multiple communities on many boards and sites, some flash related some not. And then you come together so show or discuss your finds or create a flash for that meme. It's not a persistent archive or forum with continuous discussion. It's not a community repository or flash developer tutorial. There are archives and forums for that (though who knows after the "death" of flash).
>> [_] Anon 3499100 >># >># Banning direct videos in SWF would result in the loss of a unique culture that doesn't exist anywhere else due to the way /f/ serves as a special home space where people upload content for everyone to see. It's a format that is unparalleled, and the way you promote material changes the culture of the board. For example, you won't find anything similar on YouTube, Google, /wsh/, or any other site on the web.
>> [_] Anon 3499101 >># >There are multiple *extremely dead* flash boards ftfy
>> [_] Anon 3499103 I love /f/
>> [_] Anon 3499105 >># >We need more threads and no termination date. Period. We want that change. What do you honestly think is going to happen? To /f/ if you make it way longer and stop some of the spamming? I think it would decline, and you're going to lose a lot of the culture that exists on /f/. /f/ has always been filled with people spamming. If you look back at some of the archives or /f/ 2018: https://archive.4plebs.org/f/page/5000/ 2016: https://archive.4plebs.org/f/page/10000/ 2014: https://archive.4plebs.org/f/page/19000/ Yeah, it could be noted that the culture of /f/ has changed a little, but you might not appreciate every part of the culture on /f/, but that's a shame. Of course, /f/ is a place that doesn't exist anywhere else on the internet and has a long-standing culture. It would be a shame to change it because it's probably going to decline. It will never be anything like it again. So I really hope your wishes don't succeed.
>> [_] Anon 3499106 Some might say /f/ has been a circle-jerk of a long dead culture, but if you look at the archives, /f/ has always been a circle-jerk of a dead culture then, at least for the last 15 years or more. But in that regard, I'm a newfag, because I've only been here a decade.
>> [_] Anon 3499107 >># Dude I'm already doing that, linking and juggling between boards to allow me to do exactly that. When I should do all of that in THIS BOARD where it belongs. Someone is already uploading my swf's to SwfChan. That's ok, the fuck do I care. I want an anonymous board to build these hobby projects and enjoy the process with fellow channers. And keep it ANONYMOUS. I'm a 4channer, I don't fuck around on any other site. Sfwchan is not a chat board. It's an archive. >It's like a "best of" the flash world. Flashnews fellow anon, Flash is dead. And there's no other place to go and have a community like 4chan can have. As anons previously stated, that reality turns this board into something more than a "best of" trophy shelve. This is maybe the only place left to develop a flash community in a unique way, a place to even build new content aside from just re-post old shit ad-infinitum.
>> [_] Anon 3499108 >># Flash Culture and Flash Development in other parts of the internet isn't completely dead yet. There's still a developing culture around ruffle where they develop new games. On the other hand, you are right, cause it's discord fags.
>> [_] Anon 3499109 >># There you have it. I ain't putting one foot on Discord EVER. Nor twitter, neither facebook, or IG, or whatever. No one here wants to deal with "accounts" of any sort. That's the whole point of 4chan. I don't get when someone says, "oh you can do that in this or that place too", man I'm here to be anonymous and have fun. I ain't going any fucking where else. Fuck that.
>> [_] Anon 3499111 >># I can see your point, but the problem for me is that you're probably throwing the baby out with the bathwater. If you start changing things now to create a new, more developer-friendly flash community, I'm not sure if the culture will survive. /f/ is a unique niche on the internet. It has survived for a long time, and for me, it's a refuge from the rest of the web.

>> [_] Anon 3499115 >># Sounds like you want reddit brownie points for your contributions to flash. Tell you what, you won't get em. It's an anonymous board. Maybe only a few anons will see your post. And maybe someone will save that post and repost it later on. That's like, everything that flash anons do. If it's repostworthy they will repost it. And you can repost it too sometime. I've had flashes of me randomly picked up and reposted years later. You won't land a daily best trophy for posting something on /f/, even if your content is what keeps it alive. If you'd rather drink your days away, then you should do just that.
>> [_] Anon 3499116 >># We all want the same. That's the thing, WE ALL WANT THE SAME. There's just not enough room for everyone wanting the same. And that's ridiculous. That a cultural legacy like /Flash gets just a tiny rotten box in the basement like a punishment or something. We need more threads and no termination date. Maybe someone is afraid of those stupid "zeitgeist" wars to come back with a bang, but that's just easy to keep away. That's no excuse.
>> [_] Anon 3499117 >># The reason why I'm worried is that the platform shapes the culture. That's why Discord is an awful place, as are Facebook, Yahoo, and Instagram. You can't have a vibrant culture on these platforms because of the way they're set up. It would never survive, and the communities would die. I think the culture of /f/ is much more closely tied to the very short attention span of /f/ than people realize. So yes, I am afraid of losing /f/, because I've really enjoyed it here.

Some of my flashes are being uploaded to swfchan, and I don't like that, I would like that the people here only gets them, it's theirs. Unique content only for the /f/ anons. If you're not here, that shit doesn't exist, it never did. Like some real secret club shit. That would be awesome. That's why 4chan is great in its own schizo way. But we don't own what we do in the webs so what can we do. I hope you see that what I want is the total opposite of what you are assuming. I'm just ranting that I can't do that with the board limitations. I'm sure many other developers would love to do shit here, but the board is too insufficient. We could be ok with just the basic options. It could be awesome.

Discord is not. You need e-mail verification (FFFFFUCK THAT), etc. What I mean is that this is a tiny circle of interested people, if you're here that's because you enjoy it. And that's clear when you read through this thread. >All flashes are automatically uploaded to swfchan anyway I know, of course that all of this gets archived. Don't mind me, I'm just ranting, like what's the point of archiving a sample, a test, or a wip swf? But whatever, it's not in our hands. And about the rest, I understand what you say, but look at this thread. "Something" happened in between all these years. Flash got erased from the face of the earth which is still mind-boggling to me. So circumstances are not the same as before. You have developers and posters clashing here for the only little room available. I understand that giving free roam to an interactive format with scripts and hidden content can become a Fukushima event. But the board already exists, and have existed for decades, and the only thing that I would like is just extending that tiny list some hundred more slots and adding more time to get feedback, and that's it, just keep the rest the same. No image posting, just one swf file per thread as always. That's all. It's not much at all.
>> [_] Anon 3499126 >># >We need more threads and no termination date. Period. We want that change. You want that change you faggot. Don't speak for everyone. What /f/ might benefit from is an archive, like most other boards.

I was looking thru the code reference for flash 8 online and its like a world of stuff on touting its security. This was a decade before Vice news showed off a hacker group hacking someones computer using just flash, because activeX opens up everything. Time went on, flash wanted microphone and cam access too. You probably already know this but it shouldnt be understated; flash was great for what it was but it opened up ur computer like nothing else. u were probably safer opening ports on your firewall for starcraft online.

And that was a huge issue for other parties. About the security issues, come on, look at android, I-phones IOS, WhatsApp, facebook, google account, all the million apps installed in our phones and browsers. Today talking about flash security issues sounds like a joke. But that's today of course. How powerful was ActionScrip2? I just use that, and I can't do a lot of shit that AS3 does.

I've heard people speculate on bill gates wanting to dominate the console market because nerds were able to install linux on the PS2 and PS3 and he thought those systems were a threat. I'm just sayin the documentation on touting flash's security to the contrary was like, super abundant, with over a hundred articles.

On the contrary I did had many other reason to explain why flash needed "to go", but none of those were presented even as a posibility in media at all.

>> [_] Anon 3499143 After reading this thread, I understand the points of anons who think /f/ should stay exactly as it is, but in its current form it's just going to decay over the coming years, with more oldfags leaving and newfags joining. Even though as other anons have said, making sweeping changes to /f/ has a chance of ruining board culture, if the only choices we have are to watch it rot, kill it outright, or see what it evolves into given the chance, my choice would definitely be the latter. And if we're going to make changes, it should be before more oldfags jump ship so that they're more likely to affect the board culture of nu-/f/.
>> [_] Anon 3499145 >># oldfags leaving is inevitable, you can only slow it down. id say ive practically left /f/ at this point, i only check in every now and again. this is the same with literally everywhere. yeah i boardhopped to different boards, but like what does it matter? all you can do is make a place that attracts the right people
>> [_] Anon 3499146 >># >just one swf file per thread as always then just why not extend /f/ to 60 or 100 flashes at once
>> [_] Anon 3499147 >># I don't quite get your idea anon... individual threads are still necessary. Though image posting could be awesome and very useful. >># oldfags won't leave if they have enough variety, for that, it's necessary just more room.
>> [_] Anon 3499150 >># For anyone interested, I recommend installing 4chanX v 1.14.21.7 specifically. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/441741 -4chan-x-pinkcatgoodactually?version=1029 923 As it was the last one for legacy captcha support which still exists on /f/. So you can use the non sucking google captcha and it even autofills the form. It redirects dead thread links (like in your follow list) to 4plebs automatically, so you can read up on dead threads. Also it has a button to search a thread filename automatically on swfchan. Very useful. >># Yeah, it takes no mastermind to know that Javascript is even anything BUT more secure than flash was. And most sites don't even load a background without scripts enabled. The flash security was just a front. Not an imaginary front, but exaggerated as a scapegoat. They could have done a LOT of things about that. Not even giving you the choice to run flash anymore if you even wanted to hack your browser, surely wasn't the most neccessary one. >># Oh come on, I just posted a new loop some days ago. But surely, it's still derivative content. I never like -drew- something from scratch in flash or anything. Artists ... yeah they moved on and that is the biggest nail on flash's coffin. >># Like I said, the main reason I like /f/'s smoll page is that it's easy to catch up an entire day's worth of flashes. Having many pages just makes it a more daunting task to keep up and eventually demotivates you to keep up with every thread and more importantly file posted. Like swfchan for example.
>> [_] Anon 3499152 >># >oldfags won't leave if they have enough variety, for that, it's necessary just more room. even the perfect setup would still leak. plus what do you actually want from oldfags? I have gbs of flash archived but its all in the archives anyway. you wanna keep certain day spamming active? or what? genuinely curious

[_] STOP DOOMPOSTING Anon 3451332 Some people still seem confused over what happens to this board next year. Even though Flash Player will break itself on the 12th, /f/ isn't going anywhere! All that'll change is how the embed function works. We can still post lolicatgirls to our heart's content. Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 3451344 >># Even though Flash Player will break itself on the 12th Funny, because that's not even true. It will only force a whitelist, so you have to whitelist every domain you still want to run flash on. Known to be buggy though. Also you could maybe install an older version of the plugin that isn't bricked, or maybe anons will find a way to unfuck the plugin. The only thing 100% is that firefox and chrome will drop plugin support, so get yourself a nonshitty browser.

>> [_] Anon 3451376 I've saved some binaries from at least September of 2019. I guess we'll have to find the most recent working one, when the time comes and use that whenever ruffle won't. Has anyone else done the same?
>> [_] Anon 3451377 Just get BlueMaxim Flashpoint. Guaranteed lack of killswitch and has its own players.
>> [_] Anon 3451379 >># No, that's what you were doing up to now. Now Mozilla is completely removing the API from their code. Just get a firefox fork from before they jumped all aboard that smartphone train and use waterfox, palemoon or basilisk. Glorious XUL for the rescue.
>> [_] Anon 3451383 I have ruffle.js up and running on my flash site and while it has a long way to go before all action script mechanics are emulated properly, I seriously have no complains with how quickly and how accurately it can emulate most of my flashes. As of right now, don't expect *any* games to work, most intractability is non-functional. Almost any loop/animation will work perfectly fine and will probably run better than with flash. Sometimes there are graphical bugs, but they are hard at work to make it better.
