>>116228 Where can I find that offline wiki?

>>116218 >Miraheze Speaking of them, they have wikis of absolutely rancid subject matter still up even though MGE got specifically targeted a few years ago on some bullshit excuse. I don't trust those faggots at all.

>>116291 It's not just MGE. Trollpasta Wiki got repeatedly deleted (at least twice, I think) for "breaking the rules". I guess other wikis have been subjected to the same treatment, as well. Miraheze is, like most "free" wiki hosting services, a for-profit company and all the content hosted there is subject to their rules. Anything can be nuked for any reason at any time.

>>116291 It’s because of nebulous reasons like child sexual abuse content similar to what happen to the MGE Patreon almost immediately after Boggleboe got released.

>>116307 It's not a very good excuse considering other stuff like MGQ could get kicked because of the same reason, but doesn't.

>>116291 >>116310 It's as simple as people (not) bothering to report it to the host.

>>116310 MGQ doesn’t have a loosely coordinated group of belligerents against it like MGE does as far as I know. All it takes is to report shit and watch the dominoes fall. Which most people don’t do because they don’t have an autistic hatred of a fictional porn setting.

>>116311 >>116324 There's tons of groups of retards like sharty or KF around now, if it was that easy a bunch of other stuff would be getting nuked too.

>>116325 Then I don’t know, nor do I really care to investigate since it’s beneath my notice.

>>116325 >if it was that easy a bunch of other stuff would be getting nuked too. The other shit just flies under the radar, there are countless obscure weeb fetish groups.

>>116285 NTA but Wiki pages.rar on MGE archive/Wiki materials is an outdated (the files are all dated Nov 16, 2021) wiki save, but most of the info is in there. Plus all the translated profiles are stored in the Current Profiles folder.

Anyone else had this shit when trying to leave a comment on AO3? I used to have this when I tried to comment as guest from a temporary mail, but now I'm logged in from an activated profile. This is weird.

>>116483 That happens a lot now. It seems to be random, though it happens more if you try to put in a comment containing a URL.

>>116483 I haven't run into that yet. Might be that AO3 is flagging VPN/Tor exits as spammy (a profoundly moronic approach, punishing innocent users instead of simply banning offending email addresses). Also might be that they're distrustful of any newcomers. This isn't a new practice, some forums have been doing that since, I think, the '00s? Also this might be tied to those "professional graphical artist" spammers plaguing AO3 roughly ever since AI art became reasonably good. Might make sense especially if >>116584 is right, spammers have to add links to their shit if they want it to yield.

>>116483 VPNs and TOR usually get fucky with sites like that.

>>116906 Aside from that one little incident late April, AO3 has absolutely no issues working with Tor. Most possible it's what >>116589 said. IDidWhatIDo has no works as of now, and I'm guessing he's simply new to the archive and the site had serious problems with scammer spammers. The only thing that doesn't work properly with Tor is account creation, you're redirected to fingerprinting page once you submit a e-mail. He already has an account.

Heads up, if anyone is wondering what in the fuck is going on with posts disappearing lately, here's what's been going on: In the past few months, a few very characteristic posters appeared on our board. They all talk about the exact same topics, create the same kind of problems, usually in /mge/ giving their mod a headache and generally rock the boat. Despite numerous warnings and post deletions they continue to weirdpost, at this point I have to assume some kind of foul play is involved. Short summary of what I found out in my investigation: all appeared around the same time all use VPN/Tor with whitelist and a privacy config that prevents history lookup by anyone but system op, even the whitelist passwords look similar all talk about several very specific topics no other anons talk about I realize the vagueposting without pointing out examples looks schizophrenic, but that's because publicly discussing detailed user posting history has been a red line for me, so please bear with this. For me this looks like someone is (ab)using the whitelist to completely anonymize himself and samefag to push his narrative on the board or just create general chaos to destabilize it. There's also a chance this is all a massive coincidence and I sincerely apologize the affected posters if that's the case, the only reason I'm getting involved is the suspected abuse of whitelist system. The issue is not with the posts themselves but with rendering moderation ineffective and making it not possible to judge whether a post was just regular imageboard autism or something with bad motives. I'll continue to delete odd and hostile posts from suspected poster(s), meanwhile nothing changes for everyone else. No new rules, no changes in how the board is moderated. And yes this all sounds weird and I did not enjoy having to make this post but I can't ignore this issue any longer, the (now deleted) posts here were a clear sign it will only escalate if left unchecked.

>>117053 Gotcha. I just remember it getting fucky with me once a while back and just went back to using VPN/Tor for gooning since my state legislators managed to go full chaotic stupid to protect the children, or so they say.

If anyone is wondering why the site works so slowly today, we're under a small DoS attack that's not enough to take the server down but enough to bog it down and go through usual cloudflare DDoS mitigation. I'll try to have it sorted out tomorrow.

>>121345 >we're under a small DoS Strange. Who the fuck whould try to DoS a random ass imageboard.

>>121380 Some people do this kind of things for the fun of it. Do you remember the early days of personal computing? You could get a virus that would nuke all data on your PC and there's gonna be zero benefit for the initiator. That, or the political activists who have something against lewd cartoon drawings. Enough of them exist on both sides of political spectrum to mount a random denial-of-service attack on a pornography-themed imageboard.

Websockets also not working?

>>121345 Wild. I was wondering what had happened when Gateway 502 popped up. Appreciate your efforts.

>>121444 Yep I broke them, working on a fix right now. I'll follow up on this when it's done, for now you can switch back to classic timed auto-refresh behavior in the options menu

>>121380 >Who the fuck whould try to DoS a random ass imageboard. Occam's Razor. Who recently has a reason to be pissed off at Capy? Could be that dude that was abusing the whitelist.

>>121380 >>121458 The only anecdotal evidence I am able to provide is that the folks who have this one sided beef with /mge/ on 4chan’s /jp/ forum were talking about dumb meta drama yesterday. Other than that it could be literally any one with enough brains to spark a light and enough boredom to target a place like this. Not going to worry about it too much.

>>121470 If it was them, it's not the thread. It's a couple dedicated retards who try to convince everyone that there's a war going on when legit nobody on /jp/ or capy give a dogshit about each other.

>>121470 >the folks who have this one sided beef with /mge/ on 4chan’s /jp/ /mge/ used to be /mgt/ on /jp/, before we moved here due to several years of coordinated raiding and an actively malicious 4chan mod helping the attackers on purpose. The "people" on /jp/ who have a beef with /mge/ and capy now are the same ones raiders who've have almost completely taken over the ruins of /mgt/ on /jp/ because all the original posters left. I've seen someone say the biggest faggots among them, like a certain furfag and one of the spammers, also have personal beef with capy's owner but I don't know how true that is.

Before the current events, when was the last time you had this kind of a DoS attack?

>>121380 1. What >>121413 said. 2. Might be same thing as with AO3 somewhere near beginning of May, AI scrappers making the site very very slow. 3. Small chance it's an attempt to coerce/convince the BO to establish stronger anonymity breaking policies, like permanently enabling turnstile "to prevent further DoS attacks" which would practically make anonymous access to this board impossible.

>>121493 A loooong time ago, 2 years or so. It's very possible the attack wasn't even aimed at us specifically and they were just hammering my provider and the upstream link choked, judging by the stats I've seen on the machine. >>121499 >coerce/convince the BO to establish stronger anonymity breaking policies, like permanently enabling turnstile "to prevent further DoS attacks" which would practically make anonymous access to this board impossible. Meds. Now.

>>121476 >>121490 I’m fully aware of the context of what was going on, I was attempting and failing to maintain impartiality about it. The fact that it has been four years of belligerent retards throwing feces at each other over an executive decision by John MGE himself ( KC ) is baffling at this point. I should only hope that the Sword of Omens gives them sight beyond sight and some puberty to boot. Anyway, cheers, hope y’all have a good day.

>>121514 There really is no "actually both sides" about this, it's 10000% clear who the aggressor is if you're actually "fully aware of the context of what was going on". You're practically intentionally muddying the waters in favor of said aggressors if you're making posts like this while being fully aware of the context as you claim to be.

>>121514 >maintain impartiality Bruh >throwing feces at each other It's one side harassing, trolling and vandalizing the thread until we came here, There isn't a back and forth.

>>121525 Brother man all I know is there’s shitposters throwing shit at each other. The aggression is one sided.

>>121529 >Brother man all I know is there’s shitposters throwing shit at each other. Then why did you say "I’m fully aware of the context of what was going on" and post a bunch of nonsense ignoring everything you just read, acting like you know what you're talking about, when in reality you aren't actually aware of anything and you also know you aren't aware of anything?

This cross-site politics nonsense is getting tiresome, either learn to discuss it in a civil manner without acting like spergs or I'll clean this shit up

>>121537 Understood. I’m done.

>>121413 Yeah. some are just assholes like that or bullies. or just a retard kid enjoying ruining other people's hobby. I seen some being proud of cheating in shooters and making fun of those who wanted to play it seriously. Like not esport seriously, just you know having fun, winning game with skills.

Well I guess that settles the matter of recent issues, both the Sunday problems and yesterday were a part of a DDoS attack on my hosting, nothing directed at us specifically. Occam's razor checks out, as usual

>>121577 Is the Ddos dealt with now or is this a temporary state?

>>121579 I don't have any confirmation, but I'd guess it has been dealt with.

Do websckets work again?

>>121577 Based.

>>121598 They are fixed now, although it remains to be seen if they truly work or something else got broken instead because it required a weird workaround on the server side

>>121754 Nope spoke too soon, I discovered that something else broke, rolling back the websockets fix until I figure out how to do it properly.

>>121767 Can't you just roll back the change that broke them in the first place?

>>121769 No can do, it's related to security. Just enable classic auto refreshing in settings for now like it's on 4chan

>>121577 Isn't Cloudflare your hosting provider? I thought their infrastructure is large enough to tank some small-scale DoS crap.

>>121906 No, cloudflare is only reverse proxy. The attack was at the hosting company and if their link to the internet drops, so does ours by extension.
