What's the status on Arcadia? by Teffen - 02/02/10 @ 12:25 AM PST #

My Minecraft server, Arcadia, was temporarily shutdown for several reasons. I've had little time to devote to the server and with real life responsibilities taking more of my attention I've decided to have a temporary downtime. The other reason is a declining interest which stems from our frequent users having obligations of their own.
As for now, preparing a new map is my next priority as well as setting up user permissions to improve anti-grief measures. Optimistically I would say that we should be up and running in the next week or so.
P.S.
If you have the old server URL, you might catch some behind the scenes work.

/men/ and /fag/ by Scruffy - 12/26/09 @ 07:40 PM PST #

/men/ has now been split. /men/ is now a strict porn board. /fag/ is all the random discussion and hookup thread that were so prevalent in /men/ before. any question can be sent to Scruffy@7chan.org

General boards return by Cryomancer - 11/19/09 @ 09:59 PM PST #

As you may have noticed, some boards got put into the "new" General section today.

What does this mean?
It means that these boards are no longer considered to be SFW no-titties zones.
This does NOT mean that they are now porn boards.

So while you can now post a booby screenshot on /a/ or /me/ or /vg/ and so on, it does not mean that these boards should have giant porn dumps or shitty filesharing links all over the place, got it? I like to think that you guys can handle this, but it's up to you to show that you can. The NSFW section was also correctly renamed to Porn, because those ARE porn boards.

150th VIP Registration by ## VIP ## Mark .C - 11/06/09 @ 08:33 AM PST #

We're proud to announce /VIP/'s 150th registration. Thanks goes out to all VIP posters who bring quality posts to the site.

Anyone coming across the person known as p4ch3c0 should immediately seek cover, and call for help

He is dangerous, and may well be armed with swords and knives of the weeaboo variety

Should you come across him alone, do not make direct eye contact, and slowly back away.

Be safe, and godspeed. :D

Word is that some of you commoners cannot muster up the quality to reach VIP and are interested in the program so I thought that we would give you a peek of what you're missing out on.
While you are looking at your bland and basic 7chan page, this is what we are looking at. This will probably be the only VIP content you'll see so get a good look while you can.

OH WAIT, this is too much for your eyes, we should tone this down a bit. Take your scraps.

Crescat scientia vita excolatur by VIPPER - 07/24/09 @ 01:33 AM PDT #

Looks like I haven't made this VIP thing clear enough so I thought I would explain the whole system a little more.

Step 1: The poster (you) makes a thread or replies to an existing thread.

Step 2: The Kusaba X VIP module scans your post for VIP-patterns made from quality matching strings of text.

Step 3: Counting each VIP pattern, points are added for each one found. This does not mean that one post will bring you to VIP, points are accumulative.

Step 4: After a certain number of points are counted you are granted VIP status thus enabling your VIP panel.

Actually not really, this is all bullshit. You are born VIP, there are no shortcuts.

Vi veri universum vivus vici

Fucking Awesome by ## VIP ## Mark .C - 07/20/09 @ 10:01 PM PDT #

That's all that needs to be said about the VIP accounts. Keep it classy 7chan.

Fixes and whatnot by Teffen - 07/19/09 @ 11:30 PM PDT #

Fonts have been fixed to avoid Times New Roman mixing with sans-serif.
Additionally the Conductor Cat banner contest is ending Monday at 11 PM, you can find the thread here.

What does it mean to be VIP?

VIP is life worth living, VIP is the pinnacle of existence. What was once your placid life may soon become more than you can ever hope to imagine.

When is VIP?

VIP is now, VIP is the future and overwrites all pasts in this dimension and next. To post like VIP you must not only BE VIP, but you must think like a VIP. How is that you might ask? Well that my simple minded friend is like asking God how he is omnipresent, these things just happen and frankly they cannot be explained in words. You’re either VIP or you’re mediocre, there is no in between.

Where is VIP?

VIP is all around you, you’ve seen it but you can’t describe it. It’s that ever present feeling that someone’s words jump off the page and rape your mind’s comprehension of reality. There is no end to VIP quality nor is there a beginning, only once you witness it firsthand can you realize what you were missing all along.

Who is VIP?

Well my friend I will not answer that question for you may already know the answer. VIP is all around us, perhaps you may already be VIP, although this is most likely not the case. Become a VIP and doors of opportunity will open, colors will be more vivid, life will be more fulfilling, people will find you more attractive and you will succeed in your future goals.

But where do I begin?

Remember that the road to VIP is long but fruitful, never ending but continuing in another plane of quality.

This is VIP.

It's just like a mini mall! by Teffen - 07/12/09 @ 07:45 PM PDT #

We've fixed the video embeds, if they're are any bugs check with us on IRC. Due to security popups and the size of the video windows, they are now enclosed in a collapsible div tag. Additionally the FAQ and the rules have been restored except for their images (hopefully soon).
have fun
Update:We've reinstated the Flash board.
I've been also getting a lot of questions on how to dump a whole directory of images so I've put up a guide in the FAQ, you can find it here.

same ol' by Teffen - 07/10/09 @ 09:48 PM PDT #

Expect a lot of changes as we get back 100%. Note that some things may be broken at the moment.
Update: A few video embeds are being tested, they may or may not work. ~~(Hulu is borked atm)~~

Alrighty then by Sazpaimon - 07/10/09 @ 06:49 PM PDT #

I've readded most of the old boards (all of the SFW, most of the NSFW). I'll start making backups once content starts filling up again.

whats a happen by Sazpaimon - 06/29/09 @ 04:51 PM PDT #

It seems bad luck follows 7chan wherever it goes. I figure I at least owe you an explanation.

Ecatel, our old hosts, out of nowhere, deleted our account. No explanation at all. No idea why it happened, it just did.

"Alright", I says to myself, "I'll just get a new server and load up the backup on that." I had just moved, so I had to re-connect the external hard drive I use for the backup. I plug it all in, and, knowing our luck, the drive doesn't work. It's dead, most likely a mechanical error not worth the money to fix. ~~So we have nothing. Again. Isn't that absolutely Grand?~~

At any rate, we have our new server, for how long I don't know, but if we lose this one, rest assured I've made a much more secure form of backups that will make sure we never lose our precious content ever again (knock on wood).

Stay tuned for boards being re-added.

UPDATE: Someone was kind enough to convert google's cache of 7chan to an sql file that I was able to restore. I *may* be able to restore some images as well. I'm keeping the boards locked for a couple days while I try to salvage what I can.
