Also. Is it just me, or the Nextcloud MGE archive got nuked? Trying to access it returns "Share not found..."

>>89523 >>89501

>>89458 >>89522 I'm not expecting a shift away from AO3 any time soon, but it may be worth setting up a backup archive just in case. I don't know how big the scope should be; I personally would be saving just stuff I liked or from local writefags.

>>89522 >>89539 You vill click ze square and you vill be happy

Well, right now I was able to get to AO3 through Tor, without being stopped by CF "captcha". I've tried 3 different Tor circuits and none have triggered the response you were mentioning. Problem solved?

>>89554 For now, I guess. Still, what happened? Why the Cloudflare blockpost? Why lasting for so long?

Speaking as someone running a website, this schizoposting around AO3 is hilarious. Most probable scenario is that they were having intermittent issues with bots hammering their servers and the under attack option gets turned on and off by some automated system. I was under similar scenario and temporary block solved it. You anons have no idea how tiny and unimportant minority you are, nobody is going to go through any effort just to get YOUR data, they can already eavesdrop on ~99% of the traffic if they wanted to. This is some reverse Occam's razor shit. inb4 I get called a shill, I fucking wish I worked at cloudflare.

>>89600 >You anons have no idea how tiny and unimportant minority you are, nobody is going to go through any effort just to get YOUR data, they can already eavesdrop on ~99% of the traffic if they wanted to. This is like saying you shouldn't try to seek shelter from a nuclear strike because whoever ordered it doesn't know who you are and has no reason to kill you alone in particular. Also, like with hardcore freetardism, even without being this extreme I think it's good to have people going to these lengths so the Overton window is wider.

>>89603 >This is like saying you shouldn't try to seek shelter from a nuclear strike because whoever ordered it doesn't know who you are and has no reason to kill you alone in particular. And you would be organizing 10 man protests against nuclear weapons that bystanders shake their heads at. Before you ask why do I care - I'm annoyed by this because I saw some schizo bother anons in /mge/ over posting YT links a while ago, most assuredly he's now bitching about the AO3 situation. Last thing we need is a tinfoil hatter put up a "backup" AO3 clone and start heckling writers to go there because he can't larp as a dissident in authoritarian shithole. This place was and still is much better off being disconnected from real life politics.

>>89613 >And you would be organizing 10 man protests against nuclear weapons that bystanders shake their heads at. Stopping a nuclear power with this few people is completely unfeasible, but building a shelter might work out. >Last thing we need is a tinfoil hatter put up a "backup" AO3 clone and start heckling writers to go there Like I said earlier, you can't expect writers to move unless AO3 completely goes to shit, but there's nothing wrong with setting up a repository hosting stories people cared about. At worst it'd be a waste of time of whoever was running it.

I suppose we do need a vigilante to put up a backup AO3 clone, after all. The interested parties are putting up one hell of an effort to ridicule and shun individuals concerned with preserving their privacy. >Relax, Citizen. You're too insignificant for anyone concerned. That is why we're throwing considerable resources into building personalized tools for tracking and cognitive correction. Remember, our system depends on everyone being inert and passive. People starting painful questions regarding personal privacy are annoying, because they raise the right questions and we can't beat those concerns with compelling reason. >Your silence and passivity are critical for our plans to work.

>>89618 Exactly. We've been through a similar discussion before, slightly less than two months ago. It might be nothing or it might be a sign of a platform implementing malicious - from the end-user's standpoint - measures. In either case, backup options are not only reasonable, but very desirable. Too bad there are no reasonable alternatives for AO3 at this point. Squidgeworld exists, but it's tight behind Cloudflare. There's a bunch of new sites, but they're a bit suspicious. TalesX.com, for example, doesn't even have a ToS / Privacy Policy section.

>>89620 Do what you want but fair warning: if you bother any writer about this, I will start nuking any mention of privacy paranoia from this board. The sole purpose here is facilitating monster girl discussions, everything else stays only as long as it doesn't interfere with the former. This is NOT a multipurpose free speech platform. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to collect my paychecks from WEF and NWO.

Something tells me the guy annoyed by the privacy talks is going to start harassing writers to silence this topic forever...

>>89651 >>89657 Speaking about privacy talks, and harassing writers in particular, the "Privacy mentions are annoying" guy was the only one actually mentioning fucking with people to get them to leave AO3. Both in this discussion and in the previous one, tied to AO3 outages in the beginning of March. He's also the guy who starts acting really annoying when someone mentions anything even remotely related to privacy. A good example would be an incident in one of the MGE Safe Space threads, when some poster complained about Youtube links not working in Tor. He was the one who started harassing him over being concerned with privacy, even though he wasn't talking about privacy issues.

By the way, what happens when this thread will reach post limit?

>>89688 I'll unpin it and make a new one

Hey, archive manager. You might want to update some of the links on your site; they lead to non-existing addresses.

>>90944 Which links?

>>90944 If it's about the /mge/ links, it's because of the technical problems last week and he didn't finish replacing the singular galleries. Main gallery has already been fixed, so you can use that in the meantime.

>>90967 I think he's talking about Neocities links, I just opened the Ryu gallery and it gave me "Share not found"

>>91120 Which one? The neocities ryu gallery just opens the regular ryu nexcloud archive.

>>91120 That's what I meant by "/mge/ links". >>91125 Looks like it's work in progress cause the Ryu gallery works for me too. I don't feel like going through all of them, but right now for example Blue Oni and Candlegeist are unavailable.

Just a heads up, but /monster/'s resident schizo is having another shit-stirring melty. It's mentioned capybara a bunch so I think it's trying to kick off some dumbass interboard drama shit.

>>93123 This is almost certainly the shartytard who tried to spam /mge/ here before he got range banned. On 4ch jp just a few days ago someone ranting about gooners and troons was also shitting on capy and saying /monster/ is better. Now /monster/ is getting rage spammed and shilling for capy? Pretty damn obvious what's going on.

>>93123 >>93124 This doesn't concern this board much. I went to Smug and investigated the situation; the one you are most likely talking about has been active for at least 18 months, ranting about conquest, genocide, repressing the people and so on. From what I know, he's been banned from /monster/ several times, and he still comes back. It'll be much harder for him to pull that there thanks to the VPN/Tor blockade and the local rules regarding politics.

>>93135 Well yes, it doesn't exactly concern us too much. It's more akin to the neighbor's house being on fire; The Fire Department is probably gonna take care of it, but one still wants to make sure it doesn't spread to your own property. In this regard, our Tor/VPN blockade helps a ton, but >18 months Dude's been there for around five or more years. If he's that autisticly focused on hating the MG community, I wouldn't put it past him to figure out some way to harass capy. I moreso was giving a heads up to prevent the BO from having a possible headache down the road.

>>93137 I highly doubt he hates MG communities or monster-girls in general. Aside from doom-and-gloom posts "monster girls aren't real boohooohooo :(" he didn't show any actual anti-MG sentiments. His interest seems to be more of political nature than anything else. FYI, he was on Capybara at least for several months, but he behaves a lot more careful there. Aside from a few "Amerimutts" every now and then, and one carefully slipped political post in /mge/ a couple days ago, he doesn't do anything suspicious. My best guess is that he is a hired propagandist and very likely foreign, too, bouncing between small unmoderated communities in an effort to proselytize his employers' agenda. In other words, he's the implementation of Reddit's "suggested posts" for IBs.

>>93138 >and one carefully slipped political post in /mge/ a couple days ago That wasn't him don't worry about it.

>>93141 I'm not worried about it. Besides, he was wrong, anyway. :)

>>93138 >I highly doubt he hates MG communities or monster-girls in general. I can't say for sure it was the same individual since these are all anonymous imageboards, but it looked like there was some effort to turn the communities against each other in the past year. There were some bullshit posts on /mgt/ about how Capybara is run by /monster/ people, and when that didn't work out there was an attempt on /monster/ to make up a rivalry with Capy.

>>93163 It's probably the same group with Cheral&friends that drove /mge/ off /jp/, they had multiple 4chan moderation staff members intentionally helping them for years for unknown reasons.

>>93163 I don't see anything like that going on now. Think I saw Capybara mentioned once or twice on /monster/ but, no trace of any inter-board firestarting so far.

>>93163 >/mge/ is run by /monster/ people This reeks of the same kind of schizoid babble as when BobAnon used to get blamed as the head of TouchFluffyTail. While I have seen people like the Chinese Baphofag and Wikifag in the threads whatever they do is beyond the purview of my ability to care. Hell I looked on /mgt/ for the first time in a good while today and they were calling out Perentie, who is afaik just a translator and typesetter as the image spammer. So it’s essentially the Spider-Man pointing meme between shitposters to me.

>>93605 >Hell I looked on /mgt/ for the first time in a good while today and they were calling out Perentie, who is afaik just a translator and typesetter as the image spammer You were looking at the fake thread used by the people mentioned here >>93284, that isn't /mgt/. It's just mentally ill ramblings from extremely mentally ill scum.

>>93284 >Cheral&friends Don't ask me how I know, but the actual trashfags, the ones commissioning blackedshit and bestiality don't care about the /jp/ threads and never cared to begin with. The clusterfuck is entirely on a small group of terminally online psychos who are deathly terrified of losing their host organism. You're not dealing with a conspiracy, you're dealing with mental illness.

>>93714 I stand by what I said. Don’t really have the time or care these days to navigate the autistic meta drama surrounding monster girls.

>>93717 How do they not care, when those are the exact fags who started raiding the /jp/ threads after Cheral got exposed? And why would multiple janitors/mods risk their positions to intentionally abuse their powers to help them, if it wasn't a large organized community those staff members had some kind of a personal contact to? >>93753 That's a willfully idiotic position when said meta drama is all about an organized group of insane faggots trying to kill your entire fandom/community.

>>93988 Exactly what is going on right now? Everything's quiet here. /monster/ being /monster/, they might have some schizo trying to start shit but they've had their issues for as long as they existed. You can't be practically a /pol/ board and not have shills of all breeds proselytize and propagandize. As for 4chan, it's a big dump. Not only it's not my problem since it's not accessible to me (they're behind CF face control) they've had all sorts of trash plaguing it. Corrupt mods, shitstirrers from hostile groups and propaganda bots are par-for-the-course there. In here, there is peace. So what's the real problem?

>>93988 >Willfully idiotic position There is functioning moderation here and these people you’re so angry about functionally stop existing as soon as you step away from the computer. They have no real world power, and feeding them with attention just emboldens them. So I respectfully agree to disagree.

Heyo, current BO of 8chan.moe's /monster/ board. I know it's unused but if you ever need an emergency bunker, you have it there. I also made a Rentry of every monstergirl and monstergirl related board I could find including this place: https://rentry.org/Monster_Grill Cheers Sorry for the repost, I didn't check if MGE was allowed to be posted, so I deleted to be safe

>>94979 >I didn't check if MGE was allowed to be posted Now that's a funny thing to say on a board where ~90% of activity is in the MGE general

>>94985 I know lol. But then I remembered that some boards get super autistic about posting MGE outside of containment threads, and I'm not looking to cause trouble.

>>94979 I added your board to the emergency backup list, seems like a better option than the endchan board I made, thanks.

>>95047 Cheers and thanks!

>>94979 >/amg/ are exiles of Chaos What?

Doggamnit, this is a real source of inspiration. I haven't yet finished the joke story that got inspired by some other poster going Complainy-Pants about people talking about guns and shooting, and now you're bringing up vampires, nukes, conversion plagues - Oh, my!

>>95699 Walahi he escaped containment

>>95168 >What? Back on 8ch there used to be the /chaos/ board because a lot of the /monster/ users disliked 'alternative' stuff like futa, traps and so on, ergo /chaos/ was created. It was pretty slow.

>>96078 Understood.
