The End of Jul(a)y Robi Board owner 04/28/2020 (Tue) 10:45:47 ID: 59c7b4 No.8102 >>8104 >>8110 >>8139 >>8152 >>8167 >>8194 >>8211 >>8224 >>8262

The End of Julay I've decided that I will be shutting down JulayWorld in a few months. Thanks to everyone that sticked around. Rationale In these past 9 months, I've come to realize that the idea of a centralized imageboard with open/semi-open board creation is flawed in the current year. In my experience, entralization causes three main problems when it comes to imageboards: a) Big responsibility, b) Disinterest in the imageboard, c) Single point of failure. Running an imageboard with a lot of boards is a risky endeavor with a big responsibility. Until now, I've been fine with running it, but as of recently, more and more threats have showed up for Julay, and I don't want the management of Julay to take over my life like it did for Freddit. I honestly have a lot of IRL things to do, and everytime something happens on Julay I have to drop everything I'm currently doing and work on fixing whatever happened, which (in the case of stuff like takedowns) costs both serious amounts of time and also money. In the past few months, I've felt that I've become more and more distant to Julay. The main reason is because I don't use most of the boards that are on Julay. I don't want to manage boards that I don't personally have any interest in, and so their moderation woes have become more and more of a burden as time went on, and at this point I don't want it to go on like this. I'm sorry to disappoint people, but I'm not going to become Moot 3.0 and devote my life to Julay. It also worries me that there is only a single location for most of the boards in the webring. The entire point of the webring was to have many boards each catering to their own community and their own related boards so a board going down wouldn't affect the others and the other boards could provide a shelter temporarily if necessary. However, human nature states that people will always flock to the lowest barrier to entry. It is much easier to create a board on an existing imageboard than it is to start a new one for yourself. Therefore, Julay has overgrown to almost 100 boards, which is a shame and something I should've prevented early on. However, at the time (August-October 2019) there were still many communities left without a home as 8chan died and left behind a void that has been unfilled since (8kun is not, and will never be 8chan), and so I've provided board creation for boards that didn't have anywhere to go. However, since then a lot of dust has settled and I think it's time for people to slowly expand out and fulfill the webring's original purpose. The Final Day JulayWorld will shut down on 2020-07-27, to both coincide with Julay and because that's the day that Garfield stole the pipe. What will happen to everyone else? I am going to be working hard to make an easy to understand guide for people to set up their own imageboards within the next few days. I will try to make it as retard-friendly as possible, and I will try to provide help to people who have trouble setting it up. Additionally, I've gotten back to working on Final Solution day and night. Final Solution (when completed) will create an imageboard mesh, which should (hopefully) eventually replace the current webring system and be more resilient than the webring. What about the donations? Many thanks to the handful of people that have donated to Julay to keep it alive for so long. I currently have enough in the Bitcoin wallet to cover us until the final day, and I don't need any more donations. I will be removing the donations page and replace it with a similar message. I will personally cover any additional costs that expand beyond donations. What happens if the site goes down before that? I will try my best to keep the site up until the final day, but if something so catastrophic happens that the imageboard simply can't continue, that'd be the end of that. Thanks for flying Julay. May the chaos cat keep away from your pipe in your future endeavors.

Can't say I didn't see it coming with how harder to reach you were over the last few months. Still I guess 90 months is a generous head start to find alternatives. I wonder what the main boards will do.

Rewrote the entire inventory system code with a secret group-like feature called pods. It's basically a feature that allows a user to have its own private inventory.

I don't want to manage boards that I don't personally have any interest in I've wanted to make an imageboard for a while now, but my plan was to only have boards that I personally care about. I'd let people make boards but only if it's something I find interesting and they run it in a way that I'm not opposed to. I think the webring is a place where that should be the normal. If people want a board that none of the websites want, then those users should look into hosting it themselves. >I am going to be working hard to make an easy to understand guide for people to set up their own imageboards Maybe you can also talk to Fatchan admin and include a guide for setting up jschan.

>>8108 That would defeat the entire point of why I'm shutting down Julay. I want communities to make their own imageboards so that one community going down wouldn't affect others and other communities can provide a bunker while that community regroups. That is the kind of resilience that I'm talking about.

>>8129 Because it forces people to get off their ass and actually put in the work to maintain their own community, instead of everyone being focused on one place. The centralized system is prone to failure. If someone else makes a big imageboard on the webring (which I don't recommend), you can go there too.

Final Solution (when completed) will create an imageboard mesh, which should (hopefully) eventually replace the current webring system and be more resilient than the webring.

Man this fucking sucks. I understand why you've come to this decision, but fuck, I'd really grown attached to this place. This is gonna be a big blow to the webring, and possibly to many of the boards that migrated here as well. Thank you for hosting us up until now, this place was here when we needed it and I'm extremely grateful for that, just having somewhere to call "home" for the last 8 months has been a godsend. I'm just fucking devastated to see it come to an end like this, especially while the whole webring is under attack from all angles. I want to believe we can survive it but it's really not looking good right now.

Am I saying something dumb here? >>8180 >Technically speaking the bottom half or so of https://julay.world/boards.js could count seeing as the are seemingly on different domains entirely. Exactly my point. Robi, if you don't like hosting an IB and don't want the hassle of doing so, it's totally understandable. But you could still eliminate like 50% of the boards here, which are mostly inactive pieces of junk anyhow, and keep whoever was active posting. Maybe get a few more global mods and force even smaller boards to have at least two active mods. There's plenty of solutions that don't imply destroying the place.

You plug in some values to a config override file, point it at an SSH-accessible server, and a little while later you have a working LynxChan instance. If you want to change anything, you update only what you want changed, re-run it, and it only changes what needs to be changed, then handles service restarts and so on.

I guess it was better than nothing, but I would lie if I said I would miss this imageboard for any other reason other than the fact there aren't any better alternatives around. I would likely fuck off somewhere else, when 8chan shutdown, if it wasn't for the fact that /cow/ bunkered down here, and it looks like it was a mistake, since not a single good thread has been made there since At the very least, if nothing else, julay will be remembered for the great guthrum spergout late last year. It was glorious, here are some highlights, if you missed it Other than that, I dunno what else to say. I noticed the site has been becoming filled with more and more cuckchan crossposters, altho I guess I don't know for sure if they're from 4chan, either way, quality of threads has been going downhill regardless due to newfaggotry, and I guess if nothing will be done about that, going out while there is still some shreds of dignity left in the imageboard, and it's "culture", for the lack of a better word, is much better than letting it end up as some shambling corpse that 4chan was, or even worse, a boomer filled honeypot like 8kun was designed to be. >>8125 What happened to /delicious/? I know the administration on here has been cucked for a while, one mod, for example, banned people for posting loli on /b/, of all places, but I haven't been keeping up on the current of that specific tranny, moralfag cabal, I assume they're shutting down the board because loli = CP and we're good goys, correct?

Just to be clear, I will be doing the following: 1. Helping out any anons that want to join the webring 2. Helping anons import boards to their own imageboard 3. Keeping core boards on Julay under a different name after Julay shuts down.

>>8102 I can understand the responsibility getting too big and administrating the site being too much work but I don't understand how you go from wanting to provide a home to the communities that didn't have anywhere to go to shoving them to the curb again and expecting them to create their own site. It just seems contradictory and even misguided, as you have to know hosting a site is not something everyone can do and kicking them out will most likely not change that, and it will further concentrate communities even more on the existing sites instead of spreading them on many sites like you would like. Worse, your intention is to encourage the survival of the communities, but this risks doing the contrary by fracturing them again and extinguishing those that can't find somewhere to settle down. Either way, good luck with your next projects and thanks for hosting everyone here this long, I realize it's a huge task.

Not gonna defend the moderators here or Robi, but you're not making it easy for them if their only choices are welcoming pedophiles who are likely to post CP "Because nobody is gonna get in trouble for it", or borderline CP "because it is totally legal you guize", or being totally cucked, no fun allowed, no loli conservatives that shut down anything as innocent as a reaction image of a smug 12 yr old girl, like 8/b/ under dysnomia. It would kill you not to be a contrarian edgelord that posts about how cool it is to fuck underage children every other post you make, because that totally shows how much a le ultra oldfag you are? Pedophilia never was, and never will be, part of imageboard culture, the harder you try to force it in, the bigger pushback there will be from everyone involved, and the more damage it will cause for everyone in the long run, assuming this isn't your (((goal))) in the first place >>8256 >keeping core boards on julay under a different name after julay shuts down Wait, so you're shutting down julay, but at the same time, you're not?

Protip for anyone thinking of making a new site: start off with as few boards as possible and only add more of them if and when there's enough traffic to justify it. A lot of boards and few people divides attention and makes the place seem even less active than it is.

Read a few posts before I gave up. Why can't people just use webring? Technically, you don't even need that if you just advertise each other, but you have it, it is solution for your lazy asses. You have a list of all the boards right there for you. You don't need them to be on the same site. Are you just admitting you are too lazy to click on the board list and find something new that you might like? How is that any different from having a list of boards that are just on a single site? Robi has the right idea. Good on him. I hope other bigger sites follow, but I am sure you will have faggots that will try to be the big dog with all the big boards, which is just sad. Stop asking of somebody else to recreate 4chan for you or alternatively be the ego driven fucktard that wants to be that person and does exactly that, recreate another dumpsterfire.

>>8256 I don't think there's anything literally free that would be usable and if there was I'm sure they would fold the instant they got a email complaining. But a server provider like buyvm.net (which seems fairly resilient and a lot of the imageboards use now) is pretty cheap. Absolute cheapest is $2 a month, I don't know what the minimum requirements would be for an imageboard with a small number of users. And apparently you can pay them anonymously with cryptocurrency if you're worried about that. That said we don't want the whole webring on one server provider, so it would be good if people figured out other resilient providers. If you just mean for testing it out a little bit, some of the places like Altervista or 000webhost might work well enough to test it, but not in the long term or if you actually have users. You're probably better off spending a few dollars to try testing with a server provider you would actually use though.

>>8269 Then you should be clearer about this. It is not a shutdown, more of a "we will go back to be a small site with a few topical boards". Tell the other communities that they have time to setup their place to stay and migrate out of here. That is way different than closing down totally. It's more a big refactoring. Maybe make an announcement with these tones, it'll help BOs understanding the situation. And organiding to make their own IB and add it to the webring.

If the webring is going to move into a hub based schema with different sites for different subsets of interests I think that it might be smart for (each?) site(s) to have a /refugee/ board in case one of the other sites get dunked and they need a meeting place to regroup and rehost a new site.
