just pretend my tablet didn't glitch out and make this errant stroke (´>ω･`)

>>359
it was a coincidence. i went to an absent relative's home to feed their kittens then played with them for a bit, then i connected to the wifi and checked if i could connect to marzichan at that time heh. then i went back to playing with kitties.

i played a video of kittens meowing on my phone and they rushed up and inspected my phone from all angles lol, probably thinking how the hell did all those kittens get in that small thing. they saw the screen then immediately looked behind it and were clearly flabbergasted. then they meowed and we rubbed up and wrestled around a bit more. i really like spending time with kittens. they can be so very sweet when they are young. i hope to solidify positive memories within them with me so they still like me long after i visit less. i love little kittens :'(

could I ask what the use case is?

simplicity
comfort
convivience
elegance
tradition
classic
sovereignity

sorry, I don't plan on adding this - I don't see a tangible reason why we should offer an insecure version of the site, and I don't think it would be possible without going around our reverse proxying setup (thus defeating its purpose).

it's true that our traffic is now being served through cloudflare. this also seems to be the case for hikari3 and wapchan, and presumably some other imageboards too.

I understand the concern about the infamous cloudflare captcha and other annoying access restrictions, but we're using a very minimal subset of cloudflare's features right now which shouldn't include any of that. really, I'm just making use of their reverse proxying (a nice way to reduce attack vectors for the site by concealing our IP), and their caching, which reduces the site's operating costs and ideally actually speeds up load times for users.
I don't have any of the "verify that you're human" captcha stuff enabled, or blanket rules that deny traffic from VPNs or other countries. if you run into something like that, you should mention it here on /meta/, as it probably wasn't intentional!

of course, the load times and operating costs of the site right now, without cloudflare, would be no issue. but given that cloudflare is large enough to give these services out for free (!), it's hard not to see it as an easy way to bolster the site's infrastructure. I'd like the site to be sturdy enough to gracefully handle a sudden increase in traffic and/or attention from bad actors. that way we can try to grow the site without worrying about being caught with our pants down! (｡･ω･)b

>Don't serve marzichan.onion .
I have no plan to block read access for 

btw, in case there was a misunderstanding:
the recent slowness/downtime, observed in posts like >>339, was not at all caused by our new use of cloudflare. it was a result of issues with our previous hosting setup, which should be totally resolved now :D

The Marziplan unfolds...

Please don't enslave me :'((((

you should have staff record shortened urls used for cp spam and contact you with their domains somewhere so they can be added to filters to help cut back on future spam (although these freaks are typically doing it manually and prodding for ways around filters so it's not foolproof). if you already have some sort of communication going in regards to that, forgive me.

of course, meaning if one of your staff without filter permission gets to cleaning said spam before you do.

thanks for this suggestion - you reminded me of a more advanced technique that vichan had implemented, but which jschan lacks. I might try implementing it sometime, but I worry it could interfere with the other trick we use to combat this type of spam, and paradoxically result in more spam. forgive me for being vague, as this partially relies on obscurity to work (^^;)

double bump

marzichan currently has no plans to start allowing explicit content, or to create a separate board for it. sorry :^p

>>324
why

triple fucking bump

one last bump before letting the thread die

>>257
yooo I love it! added!
>>244
>>245
forgot to mention it in a post, but I added it a couple days ago :)

thank you both so much for your contributions! :D

one of the smaller changes that I added in the site overhaul was support for hi-dpi banners! right now there's only one, the LISA banner from !shroomyssg.

300x100 is the minimum resolution for banners, but I highly encourage anyone who's considering making a banner to go for a higher 3:1 resolution instead, like 600x200 - the extra resolution makes a huge difference on mobile displays!

if you're not sure about getting the scaling right, I'll happily accept project files and work with you to produce the best version possible. thank you all so much!

Get used to that size, and once it starts feeling limited again you'll know it's time to upgrade.

>>260
eww MOOOOM ANON IS BEING WEIRD IN MY ROOM AGAIN
I don't think we'll go past 500 for the forseeable future. threads with a bunch of images can be fairly slow to load if they get too long - compare the snappiness of opening a new thread vs one with 1000 posts

Ah, roight. Bit of a bigger concern on a site where users are intended to make full use of the catalog.

>>240 (OP) 
we tend to delete most spam threads, but for the ones you've listed, they're interesting enough to warrant discussion or some other activity of posting. besides, there's no concrete rule against advertising (yet?)

>>241
basically this :^p
I appreciate the people who reported them as spam, but if the post itself is innocuous and it's only spam in the sense that it was also posted to a bunch of other IBs, sometimes I like to try leaving it up and letting marzinons check it out or riff on it - the UFO thread is a fun example :)

there are currently no rules against advertising, though that could change in the future!
I don't browse a super wide variety of altchans, so maybe it's more tiresome to see the spam posts if you've already seen them on like 4 other sites (^^;)

>>242
I find it funny that the desuchannel thread is still up despite dying a week after launching
