>> Anon 103721 /f/ IS DEAD FOREVER - REGROUP THREAD This is not a drill, 4chan mods confirmed in their blog that /f/ shall be gone, forever. https://blog.4chan.org/post/781845918774 394880/still-standing I suggest we use swfchan to regroup and decide if and where to migrate, to avoid a diaspora of our already small community. Let's spread the word that we are still here. In the meanwhile I made a list of active flashboards: 1. swfchan + old website, won't be going away any time + integrated archive * unorthodox format - cancer ads 2. 4taba.net/board/f * /jp/ spin-off + Yotsuba A CSS + /f/ layout + HTML5 allowed too 3. 8ch * 8chan * futaba layout 4. kissu.moe/f * /jp/ and pre-soijak /qa/ spin-off + /f/ layout - weird CSS 5. img.heyuri.net/f - owned by kuz of soyjak.party fame + /f/ layout + Futaba CSS 6. 22chan.org/f * Tomorrow CSS + /f/-like format [IMG] stillalive.swf (996.5 KiB) 550x400, Compressed (Deflate). 2137 frames, 12 fps (02:58). Ver9, AS3. Network access: Text: Yes. Bitmaps: Yes. Audio: Yes. Video: [find in archive]

>> Anon 103723 4chan has walked back on it's word many times. They killed [s4s] and then revived it when people said they wanted it. If we pussy out now, that's practically a gurantee that it'll never return and 4chan's specific flash culture will die. Post wherever you want but rally on 4chan to bring back /f/.
>> Anon 103724 4taba is read-only FYI, so that's not a good idea. The original admin decided to leave and the new one eventually lost interest in clearing certain illegal content multiple times every day since the software had no anti-spam protection. https://hikari3.ch/ is another place with a flash board. Actually I think a bunch of imageboards have flash boards, but I can't remember them all.

>> Anon 103726 Heyuri isn't owned by kuz anymore and *jaks are b&. The problem with Heyuri is that flashes don't die. The flash board has multiple pages, and they aren't even limited, the number of pages can technically keep growing forever as long as flashes are posted. It just wouldn't be the same as our /f/.

So far heyuri seems like my favorite choice, because as far as board culture goes, it seems even more ancient that 4um /f/. It has the most active threads and the most active leadership. The fucking admin even posts in thread there on /f/. Swfchan I disqualify, don't get me wrong I love the place and I will forever browse here, just that it serves a different purpose than the /f/ layout. I say fuck halfchan, they deserve it, it was the last straw and they fucked it up, it is now completely 100% no chance in hell over for them. We were 1 last haven in that shithole and they kicked us out. I won't return there, moot is dead. Accept reality.
>> Anon 103747 google is hellamad that flash still exists online. and hellamoremad that people still see it in their browsers. and hellapissed some of us wont upgrade to the spyware browsers and use old flash enabled browsers. so they hire hackers to attack 4chan and the tell 4chan "/f/ has to go". and because 4chan is run by unelected globalist cabal glowniggers that DOGE couldn't find, they just cowtou.
>> Anon 103748 If 4/f/ comes back, I'll go back. Especially seeing all the work people are doing to bring it back. I don't think they'll be successful, but I gotta respect the attempt. I think heyuri is the best choice. I'm not delighted about the pages and that the community has a fascination with lolis. However the admins are active, willing to take feedback, and has a culture that is the closest to 4/f/. I wouldn't mind swfchan either, but as another poster said it's for a different purpose.

>> Anon 103761 >># hikari3 and 22chan /f/ are basically ghost towns kissu /f/ received 7 posts in the last 24 hours while heyuri /f/ received at least 75 posts
>> Anon 103762 There's too many altchans with /f/ boards. We will be spread too thin T_T
>> Anon 103764 >># I don't think the current activity matters. It's not like we are going to find posters there that didn't post on 4chan /f/ too. Having said that I wouldn't consider hikari3 since it seems to be a new website. Kissu doesn't seem to allow swastikas or guro which is NG. 22chan and Heyuri both seem opinionated about moderation, with some buzzwords and template posting being outright banned.
>> Anon 103766 >># i've been there before and kissu's mod team will try to enforce a certain feeling to the culture. like a forced smile with a gun in your back. you'll see if you post there often enough.
>> !///SWFAnts #ADMIN# 103769 f
>> Anon 103770 >># Activity matters because you can't just claim some abandoned board as everyone's new home and realistically expect everyone to come over. Even people here on swfchan are just a fraction of /f/ users. That said I'm good with anywhere that won't moderate contents of flash files beyond shit like soyjaks, which all our alternatives seem to ban.
>> Anon 103773 >You can post most /b/ shit (loli, nudez... what else they had?), swastikas or gay men, japanese cats or touhous >You can't post most /pol/ shit (how much you want to kill X people, your meltdown over the last post of twitter BigMan etc), pepe/soyjaks, some modern buzzwords people throw around, greentext stories, generally try to ruin rule abiding users' enjoyment of the internets, etc. >I believe most actual 4/f/ users won't be filtered by Heyuri's rules, maybe some will try to quote something noone said or use their favorite modern 4chan slang at most. I also generally don't want to ban any well-intentioned users, and prefer giving private or public warns. But like any place, we have our rules the new users must learn to follow too This is what Heyuri's admin answered when asked about moderation. Personally I don't find those much of a big deal, some of them should have been implemented on 4chan long ago, but they are still a far cry from /f/ which was truly everything goes. What do you guys think? I don't want to risk to splinter our community even further.
>> Anon 103774 >># >I mean, I have been playing sven coop with people that found the server on discord, but I still don't believe it. What the fuck are you talking about?
>> Anon 103775 I am so sad!
>> Anon 103776 >># Indeed, but the goal is to have the activity of /f/ maintained not replace it with heyuri's, so consolidation of a more central migration and integration with swfchan scraping matters the most. The preexisting activity is only reassuring in that it indicates that the host will have continued interest in maintaining the site. When 8chan died, backups existed for such an occasion but even then because of it's sudden nature and the choice between multiple of them (for crossboarders) probably 80-90% of the activity was completely lost, for /f/ it would be worse because of the smaller quantity and because it leaves it vague as to where to post new things, 8chan at least had the webring, no such thing will exist here and keeping track of multiple would probably be more a bother than most are willing. Personally, I'd rather not go to heyuri, everytime I have I leave with the impression that it's the epitome of hugbox/circlejerk altchans; where people go to collectively larp according to an image, in this case as oldfags. And sifting through their catalog, I don't feel much different. The socially contrived nature of the gathering often results in obnoxious social tendencies and little substance. In the end even though the image is not as repulsive, it feels little different behaviourly than people who solely speak in buzzwords on 4chan with a wojak/pepe attached if anything. And regardless of the accuracy of the imitation/lingo, lacking the genuinity and consequent originality, it becomes grating. But ultimately, bitching aside, the focus on /f/ being the files themselves, so long as the files posted remain interesting which itself may hopefully spur new stuff being posted there, those aspects don't matter so much. And I suppose it could be argued that regardless of my distaste the high majority of flash content itself is locked to time, should be seen as befitting, and as such they're clearly willing to host it, and so to that end it's beneficial. So that's all to say that if that's the place of choice, I'd still go along with and just use /f/. However the stance on moderation is a stance to die on, from what I've seen those places tend to be ironically sterile and ripe to annoying mod practices in an attempt to maintain culture, in the manner that anon above said about kissu and as what seems to be the case given >># , which in the context of a general-creativity oriented topic (which /f/ is with the only topic being the medium) such would be unacceptable. And when that culture is clearly set in stone as detailed above, regardless of it's superficial alignment with /f/, I simply don't trust integrity regarding it, especially not with /f/'s breadth. Would sit_harder.swf be banned, Happy Tree Friends? What of that game where you spear the loli by traversing your tentacle through her, or the yeti gore that was just posted? Or consider that prolific ic anon's OC recently, none of the topic matter is particularly grotesque but the artstyle is often seen as such and some anon's go out of there way to express disgust, if enough people wanted it gone, would admin keel over? Screamers? They say no /pol/ and I don't care for political discussion either but then where does that leave the festivities that occur on 9/11 or all the other bush posts and what of hitler's glowsticks? etc. If the admin wants to serve the 'new /f/' or whatever then that involves accepting moderation which only bans clear flooding.
>> Anon 103777 >># I get your point, but those examples are really shitty. Literally none of those would be banned.
>> Anon 103778 >># Yeah, upon reflection, they are. But I tried to exemplify ones that would be potentially brought in contention by more extreme ones being excluded and also because I don't save the majority of those to know how to quickly refer to the and I don't feel like describing them in absence of a referral. I suppose I could list goatse and the sounding vid named Monday_Returns since they're common enough.
>> Anon 103782 Unfortunately, the closure of the **/f/** board on 4chan is a real blow to the niche communities that have preserved the culture of Flash content and SWF art for decades. But even in such conditions have ways to preserve their heritage and adapt. Here are some suggestions: --- ### **1. Alternative platforms for communication** - **Other imageboards**: — **8kun (formerly 8chan)**: Similar boards may appear there, but the platform is controversial due to moderation. — **Russian-language imageboards** (for example, **Dvach**): Sometimes threads are created for niche topics, but the audience is different. — **Specialized forums**: For example, **Newgrounds** (historically associated with Flash culture) or **Ovarit** (for 4chan emigrants). - **Discord and Telegram**: Closed servers or channels where you can share SWF files, discuss emulators and remasters. - **Meme archives**: Sites like **Archive.org**, **Yesterweb**, **Yiff.party**, where they preserve digital heritage, including Flash art. --- ### **2. Saving and adapting content** - **SWF archiving**: — **Flashpoint Archive** (by BlueMaxima) is a giant collection of saved Flash games and animations (over 150,000 items). — **New releases** can be uploaded to **Internet Archive** with tags so that like-minded people can find them. - **Conversion to modern formats**: — Tools like **Ruffle** (for embedding SWF on websites) or **Adobe Animate** (export to HTML5). — Remasters of old SWF projects with open source code (put on GitHub). - **Flash environment emulation**: — **Ruffle** already supports many old files, and its integration into browsers allows you to run content without risks. --- ### **3. Cultural Response: Niche Communities Don't Die** History shows that even after platforms die (e.g. **GeoCities**, **Vine**, **Flash**), enthusiasts preserve content through: - **Fandom Archives**: Like anime culture or retrogaming. - **New Formats**: There's nothing stopping you from creating SWF art "for yourself" and posting it as a video on YouTube or TikTok with hashtags like #FlashRevival. - **Irony and Nostalgia**: Memes about the "death of Flash" and creative uses of its aesthetics in pixel art or glitch art. --- ### **4. Risks and Challenges** - **Loss of Context**: Many SWF memes and animations were only understandable within the /f/ board. Without it, the content can become a "museum exhibit" without a live audience. - **Legality**: Some SWF files contain pirated or controversial content - their archiving may raise questions. - **Technical limitations**: Even Ruffle is not perfect - some scripts and animations will work with errors. --- ### **5. The future? It is here!** The closure of /f/ is the end of an era, but not the end of a culture. Remember how the **MS Paint Fanart** or **Demoscene** communities survived dozens of technological apocalypses. **What can be done right now**: - Save unique SWF files from /f/ to archives. - Create a kind of "wiki" or catalog with a description of memes and their authors. - Use the Flash aesthetic in new projects (for example, games in the style of Newgrounds of the 2000s). Bitards are masters of adaptation. If earlier they survived through absurdity and self-irony, now they will be able to move to new formats... or simply quietly find their bearings in a corner of the Internet, as often happens with niche subcultures. 💾✨
>> Anon 103783 >># >https://original.kissu.moe/f/ Not bad, but a hecking lot of threads, I prefer single page that fits on a screen whole (with/without more pages beyond that). Also they maintain their own specialized chanboard software, which makes something like the 4chan happening extremely unlikely there in the future. >># Probably: We old here. >># f pressed >># Wow that sounds like some shit AI would spout. Don't fault you for trying to contribute though. Also: I spoke with admin of heyuri and he will consider including hotlinks to swfs on swfchan from the thread, just like with 4chanX. Even considering this and opening the communication is a giant step above many other chans, as well as 4chan. I get what >># says about the feel of people there seeming somewhat ... off. Logically I cannot find any fault, because it's just better older culture and no shitty modern ban policy, only MORE netiquette which WAS the style at the time (2005). It might just be the culture shock. Maybe a lot of /f/ags congregating there will cure that and make it feel more "at home". Admin has been pretty lenient about everything so it's worth a try. I won't even object bannind LE SHITTY ONELINER responses a la /pol/ though I'm not for it as well. Idk, I stand with the heyuri. But it's not like we're short on time to decide. As long as everyone forever remembers swfchan exists (as you should), it will be alright.

>> Rare Flash Collector 103809 >># I don't think it's realistic to think that they'll bring it back by virtue of the will of our community if they took down posting capabilities due to security concerns. The exploit that took down 4chan was an outdated PDF upload-based attack. If they're wising up to the vulnerabilities that come with running outdated software, they will continuously wise up to the vulnerabilities that come with Flash as a medium, regardless of what we do. It's unhelpful to hold out and wait on them to change their minds when it's both not in their best interest to do so and they're very clearly demonstrating an unwillingness to shift. We need to pick a place to jump to and stay there. Even if your miracle of a scenario came true, it would be better to hold tight elsewhere and return to 4chan someday than sit here and do nothing, waiting for that miracle to come.
>> Anon 103810 >># Relatedly, do you have a public list of sites you're indexing from somewhere?
>> Anon 103814 >># It looks like you're just as retarded as the 4chan administration. .swf files were never a security problem for servers since they weren't being ran by the servers. 4chan doesn't even thumbnail them like they did with PDFs. The only vulnerabilities of flash were in the client, which 4chan doesn't have any reason to care about.
>> Anon 103815 >># Well, they can block any site in spite of its domain (as long as there is a good reason to). Not sure if they can just close (take down?) sites on Russian domains, which are only .ru and .рф (.su doesn't belong to any country in fact, since Soviet Union is no more), but why 2.0-chan is being slowed down like youtube - that's a mystery to me.
>> Anon 103821 There's a thread over on /g/ attempting to resolve whatever tbe percieved risks are in flash, which as has been said is negated by the fact that ruffle sandboxes them and nothing is done by the server side except hosting the files. I wish then luck but the 'security concerns' look to just be an excuse for their indifference.
>> Anon 103825 Need to put pressure on 4chan.org admins! Need to get them to bring back /f/!

(that i wasn't even aware of in the first place) Finally something new other than occasionally tagging flashes in here, Though It sucks seeing 4chan's /f/ die since most of the flashes that spawn in here are from 4chan are very varied, like either porn, random ass flash file, or a fun game of sorts.
>> Anon 103877 >># I'm not giving up on /f/ this easily. I'm probably naive and my likely my optimism is stupid(I'd really like some lainchan language enhancing for this one) but I believe that if we build them a solid board and offer to maintain it on the technical side, they don't actually hate /f/ and may resurrect it.
>> Anon 103879 >># They won't let someone else maintain a part of their site
>> Anon 103890 >># What does "someone else" mean? I don't think the 4chan admins are related to each other in some way outside of having worked together for long.
>> Anon 103891 >># If you're not part of the 4chan team you're someone else. To be part of the 4chan team you need to have an official role like admin, mod, janny, etc. Although, knowing how the site operates they probably won't accept maintenance not even from jannies, you'd have to be at least a mod for the offer to be considered, and even then, knowing how retarded the administration is, they'd still probably refuse it.
>> Anon 103894 >># They're not bringing it back. You underestimate just how understaffed, apathetic, and underpaid 4chan staff is. In the wake of getting BTFO'd on every level, they are not going to reopen /f/ even if Jesus came down from heaven with verifiable proof that they cannot get hacked again via flash upload. They will not do it. There's no protesting, research, or "doing it for them" that will ever convince them. If they say it's dead, it's dead. That will you have within you not to give up is not something to abandon. Channel it into the impetus to let this thing live on. We should channel our efforts into making a new site that contains just the /f/ board in the exact style with no vichan or tinychan bullshit with the same 30 slots. We in this thread could take turns moderating it, should a generous anon be willing to host the site.
>> Anon 103921 >># This. 4chan mods are a bunch of power mad freaks who enjoy flexing their ability to torment the site users. The DO4E and mandatory leetspeak only proved it. If anything, begging them for /f/ back will just make them LESS likely to restore the board.
>> Anon 103923 I'm surprised 7chan /fl/ hasn't been mentioned yet. They're still around, and they're one of the boards that gets their flashed auto-added to swfchan (or at least they were at one point).

>> Anon 103931 >># Mentioning 7chan is like ... so 2009, cake-anon. Also they have an swfchan style board that screencaps the flash or at least they did that in the past. So it isn't exactly fit for /f/ culture.

To be fair, most threads on /f/ most of the time also just rake in 0 replies. I'd say atm the activity is about the same as pre 4chan kill /f/, though it seems to be comprised of mostly native board users.
>> Anon 104105 >># Correct me if I'm wrong, but Yotsuba is the 4chan mascot, so I guess it is a synonym for 4chan itself. Maybe the japs call it that? Because - Futaba is the original japanese 2chan which 4chan was a carbon copy of, not to be confused with 2channel (2ch) though. Idk if Futaba is also a mascot or character but I think it just refers to the chan.
>> Anon 104108 >># It's significantly lower. Pre 4chan kill /f/ would get completely refreshed every 2-3 days. On heyuri, if you exclude the spammers that post like 10 flashes at once, it only gets like 3-5 posts a day.

It's not going anywhere as long as the admin is alive and breathing. On that note let's do a little vanity check: Who has a swf up on the final page of /f/? There is a single namefag on there as well. I think one of the flashes was posted by me but I honestly cannot remember.

>> Anon 104422 >># I'm not even mad anymore. The disinformation is just so vast and deep seated, of course some random game "journo" will spout back the first thing google craps out. Even people who are I'd say better versed with all things technology and internet believe all that crap, because it's just the standard information if you aren't like REALLY deep into flash itself. Even people who did use flash or played flash games and enjoy them fondly. Heck, even people whose opinion I value would agree, if only they didn't look into the matter and would find the arguments just plausible. The only good video about the topic was from Mr. "sit on a ball" Jacob and only because I think he just didn't spout all that nonsense or at least I think he didn't. You won't believe how many people HERE on this very board and community I had to enlighten to the ways of google and the "security issues with flash". Just goes to show how well such a smearing campaign works when enough money gets thrown around and the average person is at least somewhat apathetic to the topic. Let me recap: There has been none, no, nada, single software environment as potent as flash that can do all the versatile things it did and as well and as simple and as user friendly and standalone and with more "security" than Adobe Flash. It just wasn't perfect is all. Adobe could have done things, but they never wanted to develop flash. They just wanted to reign over the early web (that's why they bought it) and that wavered already with native video in html, which was one of the widest and most mundane uses of flash.
>> Anon 104429 So, where's everybody bein'? Doesn't really feel like everyone's posting on heyuri as usual, with the weekly gachiposting and whatnot. I guess everyone's using the opportunity to lay off their flash posting habits? ;_; Is there another active contender for the /f/ag haven?
>> Anon 104458 >># I've just kind of been like a boat without a rudder, drifting around directionless without a home to point to. I don't have the motivation to post on heyuri, it seems fake and there's no discussion anyway.

>> Anon 104462 >># I'm checking the /g/ general, this thread and the last thread on 4plebs. I also occasionally check the altchans. I just hope that one day 4chan/f/ will come back even though I know it won't.

>> Anon 104478 >># Oh, I thought they removed ghost replies from 4plebs.
>> Anon 104488 >># Their front page still has strikethrough on the text about ghost posting, I think it's only enabled for /f/.
>> Anon 104498 >># I'm the OP of that general and yeah, it has slowed down a lot and even D-anon seems to have paused working on his alternative backend for now, but yeah, I'll refresh the general when it dies today or tomorrow. As thankful as I am to everyone who bumped, I'm not sure how sound that is given that it's basically a change.org petition more than a general right now.
>> Anon 104520 maybe this is the post with one of most comments, someone knows the most commented post on this whole site?
>> Anon 104521 >># And that's the end of it I guess. The latest thread was deleted by a janitor/mod. To be honest, it was pretty dead so it's a well deserved purge, but still.
>> Anon 104526 >># If you have no further restrictions, I bet it's one of the service threads on disc like >>>3367. Also the EOL threads about flash when Adobe dropped the great news were also pretty frequented. Also the patreon thread back in the day comes to mind. If you strictly mean only comments on flashes, then idk... most likely some porn flash. I remember there was quite a tangent in the EroPharaoh threads and his timely arrest (anyone know what happened to the guy??). DinDin also got a lot of praise in his threads as the ex-resident-H-flash-creator of this place. A position now lamentably vacant.

>> Anon 104625 >># I've just been licking the 4'wound with my native swf player and my saved files I don't like the idea of using heyuri, IIRC the sharty site pulls whatever it can from your device and browser with a shit ton of backend tracking, heyuri strikes me as a "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" kind of deal. I don't trust it As for actually using image boards, I've tried using 8chan.moe (which is also 8chan.se but is not to be confused with 8kun). They support native swfs all over the site but that makes it hard for people to really accumulate around flash posting itself and I am unable to. From what I read on 4pled ghost there's badblood between old /f/ and 8chan (and it's original flash board had already died) so there's probably no hope in making that place our home
>> Anon 104626 >># You're damn right. Fuck 8chan
>> Anon 104630 >># >I don't like the idea of using heyuri, IIRC the sharty site pulls whatever it can from your device and browser with a shit ton of backend tracking, heyuri strikes me as a "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" kind of deal. I don't trust it It's up to you which site you use, but that's just nonsense. Why would anyone bother tracking you anyway?
>> Anon 104637 >># What a grand and intoxicating innocence. The Sharty is full of people that fly past the line between harmless trolling and straight into bad-to-evil things. They'd want to track you to dox and fuck with you, that is sharty's whole thing. That data is also collected and sold to the feds because there is no way the sharty isn't a honeypot because of how much illegal shit they get away with like openly admitting to spamming CP to get smaller image boards and archives shut down, or openly bragging about SWATTing people. They're also puritans who also hate all forms of Anime, cartoons and lolis to boot. They openly do track your by default, with their past and current behavior, I can't trust their intentions; So with such a track record, how could I reasonably post on a site owned by someone who used to mingle with those niggerfaggots? Not to mention a Sharty user is the very reason /f/ died in the first place TLDR The Sharty tracks everyone, to find anyone they want and any /f/lash poster is an enemy by default to them
>> Anon 104668 >># Can't really say I habeeb into that, but I guess there is no way of knowing. I thought the board software that heyuri uses is opensource and also there are a hecking lot of anime posters there, the whole chan is anime loli themed, so I highly doubt that they'd hate that. On the other hand idk if it is of any relevance, could be due to a lot of things, like browsing with weird browser constructions, but I DID notice a lot of computing power on my toaster is getting dropped into opening heyuri. Like it freezes my browser connections for a hot second when I open that site. As I mentioned, that might not mean anything, but it was noteworthy, and I didn't have those problems on old /f/. Might just be because the site is spaghetti code though. So all in all, where the fuck are /f/ags at now?! Is it really just 5 people here on swfchan and in the 4plebs ghost thread?? I thought we were better numbered.
>> Anon 104677 >># We were better numbers on 4chan's /f/. Around 60 users. But I guess that most of them didn't really go to any other site, so when /f/ was killed they must've just given up on flash. I guess that most of them didn't really have any reason to look for another place since they weren't creating OC, just reposting flashes, and what's the point of that if the same place with the same users doesn't exist?
>> Anon 104678 >># Damn, it seems like my ID changed again. I'm still D
>> Nanonymous 104759 I lurked /f/ for many years without posting I have been an OP once ever. I may not have been very active in posting but I loved lurking with you guys over the years. /f/ was a kind of comfy that nobody has know prior or will know again. The internet and world at large are mostly dystopian now. Small communities and freedoms are being purged.
>> Anon 104782 >># The thought that someone read some of my posts on /f/ over the years that got no replies makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside
>> Anon 104783 >># So as I pray, unlimited /f/ lurks.
>> Anon 104788 Welp I asked the 4plebs administrator if he would open /f/ for new threads and he wasn't interested in moderating that. As I see it the only options for /f/ugitives are heyuri (yuck) or someone creating an /f/ clone which gets anywhere near enough traffic to be worth using (increasingly unlikely). I guess /f/ joins the legions of aughts-era forums that just died out. Pretty lame but at least it went out with a bang on April Fools.
>> Anon 104794 >># You're right, on April 1st people were reminded that we existed. But the last laugh was on us.
>> Anon 104845 >># Why is /f/ even still up there. Even a link on the /frames. Like a dead corpse wound up on a stick. Just to mock us? Make us see what we've lost? How hard would it be to at least remove the goddamn links pointing to a disabled board.
>> Anon 104856 >># You don't seem to understand just how uninterested the administration is in the website. They won't spend an extra second of their attention on the website if they don't absolutely need to. Removing the board may require less than a minute of extra attention compared to just removing the posts, but the site will still run if they don't do that, so they will not spend those seconds, as worthless as they seem to us.

>> Anon 104978 Since the threads on /g/ slowed down a while and the last seems to have been deleted (https://desuarchive.org/_/search/boards /g.desu.meta/subject/swf/). In order to maintain knowledge of the existence/results of those projects, and in the hopes that someone wishes to use them, I'm posting the links here: github.com/flash-computer/swfcheck github.com/necroflasher/fchan github.com/flash-computer/libswftag (there's a tonne of explanation of technical aspects of this and general ambitions of it in the higher traffic threads above) github.com/necroflasher/swf_big_analyze necroflasher (referred to as D-anon in archives) also has a few more specific tools. The two first listed ones ones above were considered more or less complete (in spite of fchans description), i.e tested to satisfaction, but of course without much usage I doubt it can be said with confidence that it's bug free. However, from what I recall, development towards the above ceased mainly for the same reason; the project was considered mostly done but with no host to implement it was difficult to further refine, and so while I can't speak for them I doubt their interest in the projects are abandoned rather than unstimulated. Similarly, the last discussions in the larger threads was that of hosting as none were willing or capable. And related to that, I'm curious if any anons here are familiar with altnets such as i2p, yggdrasil, tor etc. to say whether working browsers for any support flash; I suppose any would support ruffle? The impacts data transfer would have for this usage, both generally and geographically? Extra constant hitches with hosting on each? Easiest, aside from tor for techlets to setup viewing? Ideology regarding general advantages aside, it's obviously not necessary and would in it's present state probably make it more annoying for most to bother, thus reducing traffic, as well as pose issues with potential swfchan scraping I imagine. But I'm curious anyways, imagining that it would ease concern of security with hosting, by way of such need for rigorous monitoring, and make cheaper due to domain differences, although maybe (?) be more of a hassle to initially setup.
>> Anon 104980 You should understand there are like 6 of us here and maybe 4 on Heyuri, and out of that only ~10% are ever gonna bother with stuff like i2p to use a new site.
>> Anon 104987 if you could pick any 20 files to remain frozen /f/ for all 4chan eternity, like the 20 crappy ones on there now, what would you choose some for me would be The Missile Guidance System's Final Flight.swf.swf Monday Approaches.swf PatchouliWish.swf Beef Stroganoff.swf + pasta I guess Cirno Bottle Launch.swf
