Intro thread

čudan follows kareha in many aspects, the core functionality is merely based on it. However, the point of this engine's existing is that the main composition has been modernized.

Some outdated elements could've been modernized, but they are kept, because they have sovl (e.g., Email field, XML feed). Sovlless retro-elements are removed/updated (e.g., full width text, light theme).

At the end of the day, here's what čudan offers in addition to traditional Kareha:
- tag-based thread navigation
- thread stats and dumps in subback page
- dark (fancy? gay?) theme
- responsive design
- code syntax highlighting -- empowered by prismjs
- short-links to external threads (e.g. @64383fc150739) and posts in external threads (e.g. @64383fc150739->2)
- Atom feed instead of RSS feed (not a great modernization, we know)

Also note that the engine is really raw for now. Maybe, we'll add more features, when we rest and get some more inspiration, or just out of necessity.

In respect to social side, this BBS will try to provide as much freedom of speech as possible. Of course, illegal content will be deleted, as well as other things that prevent normal forum functioning (spam, wipe, etc.). Mistagging will be fixed.

Basically, čudan is another one western 2channel clone that is not intended to be massive. Enjoy it or go away.

I like čudan

Why do you call it a textboard engine rather than textboard software?

>>4 Software is more vague term.

From 9 months ago....

Fog covered up the morning sky covering the dawn sun. It was a while before sunlight could disinfect the fog and its blaze lit the blue.
In the air-conditioned car, it mattered little. Mist or full sun made no difference when the small volume of the car was heated or chilled as needed. People drive in comfort regardless of the outside.
Only passing the orange leaves of various trees indicated that it was autumn.

nice post Admin i like it here, ty <3

please fix the lolitards spamming up the board. thx.

I think it's been an architectural mistake to put all data in one json file. Each thread should be stored in a separate file to avoid backend scanning a huge json.

Good that I realized it before it's too late.

Thinking about how to decrease info noise on cudan, I came up with an idea for the data managing script:

Once anything is posted, a script checks for threads with no replies. If such threads are older than 24hr, they are purged.

Discuss.

sounds based. that's probably a good way to recycle posts while still pushing up the threads with the most traction. I also think the opposite is nice too. self-deleting threads that have remained bumped for the longest time should theoretically keep the site engagement from newfroggers alive. either way there needs to be a recycling element to any textboard IMO.

why do dead board admins always insist on early 404 (or variations thereof)?? just because a thread didn't get many replies initially means it's not worthy of staying on the catalog. sometimes single reply threads get bumped a week down the line and then see heavy activity at that point. The whole point of a "bump system" on imageboards and textboards is that more engaging threads receive more frequent replies and are bumped more often, whereas less interesting threads tend to naturally make their way further down the catalog. Why interfere with the natural order of things??

your site will look even deader because most of your threads will disappear in a day. i swear admins will just keep merging and cleaning and tweaking the natural order of things because they think it will improve the site. i think things are fine how they are

if you were to improve anything i would suggest adding multiple pages. right now, it's only possible to view the first 10 threads in index view (where the full thread op and the most recent replies can be viewed) and then the rest of the threads can only be browsed in catalog view (where only the subject can be viewed). I'm aware this is standard fare for kareha based boards but it would be nice to have it so that there are multiple pages that can be browsed, so I don't have to open a thread from the catalog every time i want to read the OP of a thread that's not on page 1

Purging of stale threads is enabled with 72hr retention.

good shit.
am curious, will you ever be adding an admin panel for manual selective deletions/bans?

>am curious, will you ever be adding an admin panel for manual selective deletions/bans?

well GODSPEED.

>If shitposters at least keep their garbage structured in threads, it would be fine, but a thread per shitpost is considered a 'wipe' i.e. artificially moving existing threads down and should be removed

>If you want, you can consider this feature an experimental anon replacement for karma system + retention.

It looks to me like you need some jannies
