Why don't you have your own chan yet? You can make your own chan in 20 minutes for free. Here's how: Get TinyIB: https://github.com/tslocum/TinyIB Make a copy of "settings.default.php" and name it just "settings.php". Open it in notepad and set it up. Use "flatfile mode", so you don't have to deal with sqlshit. Get some free hosting with PHP. You can google "free web hosting" or "free web hosting list". I kinda like: http://www.freehostingeu.com/ but i'm sure there are better ones. Log in. Go to file manager and copy all TinyIB files there. Then go to domain manager and register a "subdomain" (free domain). Then make a pointer for that subdomain to a directory where you have your TinyIB. When finished, open imgboard.php in your domain. So for example if your subdomain is shitchan.eu.pn then go to url "shitchan.eu.pn/imgboard.php". Done. You have your own chan.
>>110128 You can also use KusabaX http://kusabax.cultnet.net/ which is what masterchan used during the PC days, but it's not as friendly to set up
>>110128 Of course you can make multiple boards by copying TinyIB to multiple directories and then make a simple index.html page with links to those directories.
>>110130 Yeah, there is more imageboard engines. You can google "tinyboard alternatives". But TinyIB is the easiest to set up thanks to flatfile mode.
>>110131 nice image, saved Made me feel like reading Conan again
>>110130 Or you can use infinity: https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/infinity which is what 8chan's is currently running on. But that won't be easy to set up. Just stick with TinyIB and flatfile mode. Even kid can make that work.
>>110128 make a tutorial video and I'll do it because I'm a fucking idiot who know shit all about anything
Chans are a dying breed, there is no more originality. There is very little difference between. 8chan, 4chan and Masterchan.. Only niche chans will stay around
>>110328 thats why we need to welcome pedos and embrace their presence, they make us stand out in the sea of imageboards.
>>110128 >Why don't you have your own chan yet? Thats all the interwebs needs, another nahC daeD.. Besides I spend all my time posting here, and lurking 4/8 chan.
>>110312 I don't have video editing software installed right now. Would be a infographic enough?
>>110312 Here's the first part of the infographics. Change "YOURADMINPASS" and "passformods" for some actual password. I suggest to set webs and embeds to true and also make file size limit bigger. I suggest 8192 kb which is 8 MB (yes, that 9192 in the image is a typo). Set tripcode seed for those secure ## tripcodes. Then register some free web hosting with fake name and fake address, but real e-mail, because you will have to activate it.
>>110328 >implying they're not being killed by NSA manipulation >there is no more originality Nope. No more originality. It's not like there's any OC around here or anything.
>>110370 part2 Log in. Go to file manager. Disable directory protection. Create folder for your chan. Go there and start copying your files there. Yes, you have to create all those folders manually!! And they must have exactly the same name as folders in your chan source folder - (!) yes, i've made a mistake in that image, those letters (in "css") have to be lowercase. It won't work if you name it differently. I had to correct it too. When you have all folders created and all files uploaded in them, go back to dashboard and to Domain manager. Create free domain and in the settings change the pointer to your folder where you have uploaded your chan. It will try to force a new folder with the same name as your domain (and it will even create it), but you can ignore that. If you've connected your domain with your folder correctly, now you can open your domain in the browser. If you open just "yourdomain/" it will open that blue default page. So add /imgboard.php" Done.
>>110376 You can moderate your chan by clicking "Manage" in upper right corner. You can see that i'm not bullshiting you here: http://insurgenchan.eu.pn/
>>110377 Hm, for some weird reason it works only like this: http://insurgenchan.eu.pn/index.html I'll try to figure out what's going on.
>>110379 Wait guys, it's not working now. But it was working. I think i fucked up something. I'll try to fix it.
Okay, i have no idea why, but it doesn't want to work in the home directory, because index.html gets always rewritten by that default page. But it works like if you put it in another directory like this: http://insurgenchan.eu.pn/chan/
Just put it in another folder (as pic related) and it will work.
>>110354
>>110354 no, video
>>110420 What kind of spoiled faggot are you?
>>110433 Be nice to Gadmin
Why would I want to make my own chan?
>>110437 You think gadmin is baiting me?
>>110466 like this http://saltychan.eu.pn/index.html how do i remove index.html
>>110466 also how do I make it so saltychan.eu,pn has a main page instead of this
Greetings from Chum#2 lol
Why would I have my own chan? I can't even handle having my own board.
>>111361 a boxxie thread I feel like a true chan now all I need is pepe now >inb4 ded meme
Which one wants cp?
>>111358 explained here >>110382 >>110392
>>111683 I tried it but no luck
>>111714 Hey, volachum here, post a screencap of whats happening on volafile.io/r/BEEPi and ask them, Its the mod room, and most of them program blindfolded, with both hands tied behind their back, with out a computer.. ok maybe one or two of are smart, but everytime I lurk, their is someone being smart
>>111714 You do it the same way as is shown in the tut, you just put it in one more folder, but you leave you pointer in the higher folder where it was. Of course you need to include that folder in the url address when accessing your chan, so for example when you you have pointer to folder shitchan.eu.pn and your chan is in shitchan.eu.pn/topkek/, then you have to use this full url to access it in your browser including that /topkek/ as was shown here >>110382
Would it be possible to make a distributed chan with no central server, similar to the way PirateBrowser and Tribler operate? How it might work: * Chan is embedded in a version of Tor browser which also stores/channels content while it's running * Browser will open homepage with most recently updated/most loaded posts detected on peers it connects to * Users could be allowed to flag posts and opt out of seeing posts with a certain flag, e.g. "pedo", "pony", "marketing spam", "shitpost" (as defined by community) * Posts distribute through the network, similar to how Bitcoin transactions do * Browser loads and sends-on data of current threads, images, time of posts, and numbers of views, including material the viewer isn't seeing (but possibly excluding what they've opted out of) * Threads have a unique title or number which is public, and content which is decrypted until the thread is opened * All this background stuff is encrypted; only material appearing on the user's chosen pages is decrypted * Threads which aren't being viewed, vanish from the system * User-moderated boards might also be enabled, and opted into or out of This would allow chan activity without the need for mods, owners, or central server space, and without users being unwillingly overwhelmed with spam, CP and so on (both of which are issues even on Tor-based chans). It would basically remove the possibility of censorship. Sadly, I can't program. But if anyone out there likes the sound of the project, it would be a great idea.
>>111769 And of course you must do the imgboard.php thing there too. So when you're done copying the files you have to go first to shitchan.eu.pn/topkek/imgboard.php
>>111770 I'm afraid you can't do this with Tor, but it would be possible to do this with some distributed network like Freenet or Aether. I vote for Freenet, since it's much safer. Something like this could exist a long time ago if Freenet developers were chantards like us. You could do it easily by making few changes to Frost so it would load included freenet keys images on the screen and turn it from just message app into a imageboard.
>>111770 Actually this should be possible with Zeronet. But Zeronet is still unfinished as far as i know. Who knows maybe it would be possible to do with Retroshare with some changes. I don't think it can be done with I2P, but i don't know much about how I2P works so maybe i'm wrong.
>>111770 >* Users could be allowed to flag posts and opt out of seeing posts with a certain flag, e.g. "pedo", "pony", "marketing spam", "shitpost" (as defined by community) What if you just fucking ignored threads that aren't of interest to you. If you can't handle certain content you should fuck on off to reddit.
>>111770 It wouldn't be long before everything was labelled "shitpost", and then the same obsessive faggots who want to remove shitposting would throw a fit over their super important posts being labelled that, and would demand special rights to determine what's really a shitpost and what isn't.
>>111843 It could work just as filter for users they want to use it, not for everyone. Just like you can filter posters on 8chan if you want.

This a pretty good informative thread, thanks OP! I'm going to try my hand at making a 3-day chan too

salty chan is back up http://saltychan.eu.pn/
>>110128 I've got my own chan. It doesn't go down every 3 days. Using KusabaX, so feel free to ask questions about use on my /meta/ board or email (geoffwebb@69chan.net)
>>117158 I'm a damn retard, here is the link if you didn't already figure it out (or if you're a lazy shit like me): http://69chan.net
>>117159 Does your chan allow child models? And does it allows purenudism pics?
>>117171 Yes, anything that you can legally post here.
>>117171 This chan does.. http://bernd33roar3gzzi.onion.to/b/res/457.html
>>110128 I'm gunna make my own shitty chan when my raspberry pi arrives
>>117561 You will host it on your raspberry pi? Aren't you behind NAT? Does you ISP even allow you to host shit? Or will you host it as tor hidden service?
I made a textboard: 4than.org >lel im so originul >mfw im a jenus and maid a chan i dont neid 2 regul8
>>118299 >>115651 Running textboards is a clever idea, since they don't need to be regulated as much as imageboards. The problem is that they don't usually have large userbase, because most people consider them boring. But i think textboards have their uses and they should be on the web. I will check your sites from time to time and we'll see if they develop some userbase, or die.
What's the point It's still lonely

>>118299 >>118303 >>118338 check out nntpchan https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan basically u have a chan u dont neid 2 even grow really the chan "shares a userbase" because posts are synced throughout the networks, so you aren't really lonely software also allows you to choose not to download sync or display images run mostly on tor because thats usually the crowd thats interested in such but no illegal content is allowed on any of the current frontends there were 3 clearnet frontends a while ago too so yeah http://oniichanylo2tsi4.onion.cab/ http://lyp6sf5tzd6mbnmc.onion.cab/ http://kvwshn63rfblaei6.onion.cab/ sounds like what you might want join the network!
>>118351 >>118352 Oh hell, another nntp shill. Nobody cares about nntp man. You call it "distributed", but it's just a few servers connected to each other, it's not p2p user distributed thing. >inb4 p2p is bad It's not. p2p network is much more censorship resistant, than pseudo-distributed (few connected servers thingy) will ever be. >why couldnt it be done in tor You can't do it fully distributed with Tor. I don't count your solution as distributed. >no illegal content is allowed on any of the current frontends Lie! Illegal content is allowed on hiddenchan (I2P frontend of nntp) >join the network! No. Fuck off.
>>118351 >>118352 Btw. you can use nntp only if you have server or VPS. You can't install this if you have only web hosting. So it's useless for most people here.
>>118363 >You call it "distributed", but it's just a few servers connected to each other, it's not p2p user distributed thing. >inb4 p2p is bad >It's not. p2p network is much more censorship resistant, than pseudo-distributed (few connected servers thingy) will ever be. the posts, the content, the meat of the network is given out to nodes that want it. thats distribution too. p2pchan would be neat though, yeah, i'd try it out if you made it. >You can't do it fully distributed with Tor. I don't count your solution as distributed. So your version of distributed would involve each channer storing gigabytes of content on their computer and need to be only for quite a while so they can have all the posts and not be missing gaps? That could totally be done on top of Tor. Posts would be sent to Tor and cached to disk. Tor isn't just TorBriwser, you know. I don't know why you or others think of Freenet as some magic, it just stores data within the network, same as our servers or p2p. >Lie! Illegal content is allowed on hiddenchan (I2P frontend of nntp) >current frontends >current >current >current HC has been dead for a while now, see thread-e7c49ac2bd.html >Btw. you can use nntp only if you have server or VPS. not true, i've tested a node on my home connection and it worked fine >You can't install this if you have only web hosting. static html file hosting? no you can't run nntpchan or any chan software for that matter >So it's useless for most people here. hah! you think you know
>>118395 >p2pchan would be neat though, yeah, i'd try it out if you made it >implying i can code a shit Dude, the best thing i ever done was some tiny laughable PHP scripts. I gave up after a while when i've realized i'm not able to take it to the next level... >That could totally be done on top of Tor. Sure. It would become something like Freenet-Tor. The question is why not to use just Freenet itself instead. >HC has been dead for a while now I see. I didn't know that. So how many frontends do you actually have? Hiddenchan is dead, clearnet frontends are dead. Do you have at least 5 frontends? >i've tested a node on my home connection and it worked fine Dude, i won't host a fucking chan on my home connection with my fucking slow internet. No way in hell. (Not everyone here is a westerner with fast internet you jew.) >static html file hosting? No. I mean hosting with PHP and SQL. I can run dynamic pages there, but it's only a hosting, not a VPS so i don't have access to the server a can't run your "git clone" commands and install some additional software.
>>118398 >Sure. It would become something like Freenet-Tor. The question is why not to use just Freenet itself instead. >why not to use just Freenet itself instead >why not just Freenet instead freenet sucks, if you've used it you know its shortfalls if you actually wanna know why its because freenet is pretty complicated and the implementations frost, fms, etc. use is complex and the core dev probably wanted something more controllable than just a modified frost or something >So how many frontends do you actually have? those 3 linked above are the only (public) frontends that have been online in the past week clearnet frontends were intentionally murked, may be brought online soon >Dude, i won't host a fucking chan on my home connection with my fucking slow internet. No way in hell. (Not everyone here is a westerner with fast internet you jew.) well I guess you won't be using your proposal p2pchan when it comes out either then you don't have to be a public frontend and take any "extra" traffic from users directly accessing your webpage you would a. download messages and optionally attachments from schan and oniichan b. distribute the messages and attachments you have to schan and oniichan same as how p2pchan would need to run
also java sucks
>>118463 >freenet sucks Tor shill pls go. >3 frontends Wow, you don't even have 5 frontends and the number is keep going down. nntpchan = fail of the year >well I guess you won't be using your proposal p2pchan when it comes out either then If it was based on freenet i could use it. Freenet allows you set up maximum download / upload speed limit, so it doesn't eat all your bandwith. Can you do it with nntp? I doubt that.
>>118476 >limit ye
>>118351 >>118352 >>118395 >>118463 >2015 >not wanting to use a chan where we rely on one person and would be completely screwed without them its like you want to prevent things like what happened to 4chan and reddit
>>110128 I got enough shit posting to do on the current chans that exist. I wouldn't have time to shitpost on my own Chan.
>>118299 What happened to 4than? It got hacked? Taken down by host? It was a honeypot the whole time?
>>110328 this I think it's better idea to use these free russian based forums, there's no data transfer limits like in those free web hosts, also it's much easier to setup... You could make your own loli forum, I've seen a bunch. Just google free forum ru or something, here is one host http://www.forumup.ru/
>>110128 link to your chan. Can I use it to host all types of content I find on the web?
cum shitpost with us chums we have folder #wewlad on irc.rizon.net
>>121507 >we have folder WAT?
>>110128 It's far too tiring for me to make my own board.
>>110128 Far too lazy, and far too poor. Plus, I'd be skeptical with most websites, for U.S. Law Reason, of course. If I were to ever make a chan, I would want my users to be safe from U.S. Jurisdiction, not so they could CP, but so they could speak freely. >what country does not have U.S. Jurisdiction though >other than north korea
>>110128 the point of a chan is to congregate with other people and to have the content flooded off the server in a certain amount of time if you make your own, you have to put in all the effort of getting people together, and the content will last a very long time because not as many people are posting there
>>122415 >>122415 >2015 >not using your own image board as a file host.
>>122296 Romania, also use offshore domain and something else than .com .net .org and don't use cloudflare. >>122545 Someone should make an imageboard where uploading is disabled and you can only embed pictures with url, saves bandwith, doesn't need more than 1GB hdd space on server and is much safer option.
>>122641 You mean like imgur?
>>110128 Not a new chan, but a new board. http://8ch.net/acb/

>>124538 stop samefagging you insufferable faggot
>>124250 better make a forum if money is the problem, just get the cheapest shared host from some offshore provider, should be enough for <50 user forums and if it starts to lag, just upgrade to vps best solution for free speech, warez and grayarea content currently is a server from ecatel and domain from .ws or similar non-USA monitored, not sure why mchan is using .org... http://lilcutiebb.ro/ a link to my forum, it's currently disabled though, i think i need to upgrade it to vps anyway for better perfomance, maybe in next month or something... ofc imageboards are better for anonymous chatting... but forums are better for actual content i'm not even sure what the heck i'm talking about, just stick to masterchan lel

>>111774 Because ignoring CP once is easier than ignoring ten thousand CP threads daily. And easier for everyone.
If there were always a bunch of chans, we could never find the true chan Masterchan
>>125763 Like I said, it's cheaper than buying a monster server with terabytes of space and bandwith. This forum costs only 10$/month and if host doesn't like it and suspends it, it's much easier to change the host. There's only a few hundred MB of data, because every image and video is hosted in external hosts. >>127578 I might open registration at the end of feb, because january is too busy with Dragon's Dogma PC version (my loli army) and Blade & Soul (lot's of lolies here too). >>125738 not sure what happened there, I'm not reading any replies in 8ch, because I hate that place lol
>>125737 Finally someone who sees my point. Forums are better all around.
>>128566 I bet $100 that you're lolisrcfag. Anyway, i like chans much more than phpbb forums. The fact that images are hosted elsewhere is good for your server, but it means you have no control over them. But i like your css. Looks cute as fuck.
>>128590 will lolisrc ever come back?
>>130324 no >>128566 i just noticed that this host has tighten up their TOS and doesn't even allow lolicon, i need to find a new host or just start using Magic Kingdom and forget clearnet xD <-this topic alone might get my account suspended, 'legal' child nudity.. i just need to find a host that allows: -lolicon (3d & drawn) -free speech about pedophilia -'legal' child nudity -sharing copyrighted content (child models) not easy, maybe ecatel... but first i need to check cheaper options...
