    Currently resolving instability in Memcached. Memcached is our caching layer where Next stores small bits of data for later rapid access. This is what keeps threads fast.

  • I will be posting at least a daily update to Twitter regarding the progress of Infinity Next. The best way to talk to me is over Twitter at https://twitter.com/8ntech or through josh@infinitydev.org.

    Threads and commentaries here are hard chat / banter magnets and usually amount to nothing about shit flinging. Your post will get lost in the garbage.

    • test thread to see how fast next is at the moment

      Got an error message that my webm is corrupt, even though I can post it on old infinity, but at least the upload speed was okay.

      >The files 0 attachment fails integrity checks and may be corrupt

      Also happened with an mp3

    • So any updates on when the Next migration is happening or what?

      Josh's twitter has been silent for the past two days.

        I personally know a global mod that hangs out in that secret irc /intl/ loves to talk about.

        I can give you a little info on what I heard from him about HW and Josh.

        HW has been posting less on the site, simply because he doesn't feel like it. His priority is fixing the site, he might become more present again after the switch to next.

        Josh is doing his stuff and doesn't have anything meaningful to say anymore until the date of migration gets closer, no thoughts of suicide or anything.

        In case next takes longer, HW will use his frontend vichan controller to make he site slightly more usable again until next is done, he is currently working on finishing that piece of software.

        Truth is boring and mundane, nothing hidden or exiting is happening, all we have to do is stay calm and wait.

      • I'd be annoyed as well if people kept making up bullshit and insult me.

        This isn't a case of banter anymore, it's just rude.

        Josh has been working on next for over a year, all day, every day. While 12.000 dollars might sound like much to /v/irgins, they don't seem to realize that people need to eat and pay rent. Just by dividing the money through the days of the year, that makes around 33 dollars a day to live of, and this has to pay rent, electricity, internet and food. I don't think a lot of that money was spend on extravagant commodities.

        Then there is this constant claim that next is broken or bad software. I wrote a huge wall of text on this before (https://archive.is/kt8FE shocking truth revealed, I was hotpockets all along) and it still annoys me. Bugs can be fixed, looks can be changed, but instead of being constructive by finding and reporting the bugs, idiots across all boards are just circlejerking about how this is the end of 8chan somehow.

        And then there is Hotwheels. He has been practically living for this website. He has done more than most other web admins would ever do to keep our community alive. But instead of being thankful, people insult him, call him a traitor and liar instead.
        Imagine feeding your children and getting spit in the face as thanks. This is what he must feel like whenever he sees oneof those threads on /b/, you know the kind.

        We have something good here and I don't want it to fall apart. We need to respect the people that allow us to keep this site running.

        Volunteers like me and board owners are getting blamed for issues on boards that bring them into loose-loose situations. Let's take Mark, the owner of /v/, as an example. I haven't had much contact with him but I think I can understand him. He is trying to preserve the board culture of /v/, which had a bunch of not directly vidja related threads with their own subcommunities for years.

      • >>5307

        If he started banning these threads, he would be seen as bad, blamed for trying to control the direction /v/ is going in instead of letting the board decide that for itself. Now he's getting blamed for low post quality and non vidja threads. Whatever he does, he is seen as a bad guy and people are calling for him to be replaced, as if that would accomplish anything.

        Moderation and community should not fight against each other but have a symbiotic relationship. We do this job, not because it gives us some fake internet power, but because we want this website to be great.

        The moderators are a necessary power to delete things that damage the board quality greatly. But what these things are is the decision of the community. Sometimes, rules are proposed and decided on in meta threads, sometimes people make boards with the rules they perceive as right. But in the end, it's the community that chooses what board they post on and therefore what rules they follow. No board can exist and prosper without it's users. They need to report the rule violations so we can do our jobs and most importantly, they have to make quality threads for all users to enjoy and participate in.

        Boards in a sorry state are usually that way because the userbase caused it to be that way. To take /v/ as an example again, if a LOL thread receives over 400 replies, but well though out ones only get dubsposters, it is no wonder that the boards quality is terrible. No amount of moderation would solve this and banning LOL threads would just be a bandaid on the tumor.

        Long winded rant over, I hope this is at least barely coherent.

    • I wrote a whole freaking nicely-worded post but this site is buggier than the last and it deleted my whole thing and refreshed when I tried to resize the posting menu so this is gonna be a to-the-point post.

      The "recent images" section contains porn more often than not.

      It's often sicko child porn or animal porn or whatever the reprobates have dreamed up recently.

      I know that most boards are nsfw, but there's a large and growing conservative community here.

      see: /Christian/, /Islam/, /egy/, increasingly /pol/

      Everybody here is used to chan culture. Porn is nothing new, but some users come here for sfw content and don't want nsfw on unavoidable areas of the website.

      The "recent images" section is totally worthless anyways. Why would I want to see the most recently posted sad frog and Siamese pod-racing memes without their context from across all boards?

      I suggest you either remove that piece of the site, or limit the images which appear to sfw boards.

      I don't want you to make a safe space or be "tolerant" of us or something. Just cater to a significant section of the userbase which doesn't want to see that shit and remove porn from all unavoidable sections of the website.

      Cheers

      • So you want to see CP on the front page?
        Cool. You sound like a totally sensible person.

      • We should have some options:

        Mask spoiler thumbnails ☑
        Mask NSFW thumbnails

        • never
        • on SFW boards (default)
        • always
          Mask all thumbnails ☐

        The front page and overboard could be considered SFW boards for these purposes.

      • >>4392

        should have been

        Mask spoiler thumbnails ☑

        Mask NSFW thumbnails

        • never
        • on SFW boards (default)
        • always

        Mask all thumbnails ☐

      • Now we've got furry inflation fetish images all over the front page. What's the point of this mis-feature again?

      • you are trash, just drop the Infinity Next hoax, it's over, everyone is beyond done with this Chinese fire drill, all you have done is divide the community, causing 8chan to lose even more users.

        you've never really explained to the community why 8chan ran perfectly well for over two years, and continued doing so LONG after the Gamergate influx came and went, and with the bottom suddenly dropping out.

        My opinion? You deliberately sabatoged the site to force your "Next" cred on us, which you then wanted to use for shekels in China. Face it, you have a bumass life, its going to stay that way, and you ruined the only good thing in it.

        and before you go, make sure you shoot the Dud to death and video tape it for us.

        and BTW, no one ever wanted this site and everyone hates the layout. You're a real faggot.

      • The old one was good though.

        It's not too late to cancel everything and just use the new hardware with the old software (without the broken index and no backpages shit)

      • literally how did 12,000 cripplebux get spent on this trash fucking software???

        holy shit this is a fucking slow abomination thats using 80mb per fucking page how did you even manage that? images broken site is slow mcfucking kill urselv josh

        im gonna post pic related but none of you will be able to see it because josh codes worse than a paki codemonkey
