I was on vacation for 2 weeks and I guess the BBS decided to kill itself. No problem: I'm back now! |

Thank you. I use an ordinary paid VPN that gets blocked by the filter. The filter that Gikopoi uses seems extremely aggressive, far more so than most of the rest of the web. Not even e-commerce or online banking sites block it ^^; I can only speak for myself, but I don't really want random website owners/moderators knowing my precise IRL location - especially on the imageboard/anonymous BBS-adjacent side of the web, where websites are often ran/moderated by less-than-stable individuals (and I say that as someone who runs/moderates those types of sites myself XD) It may be possible on the VPN to whitelist sites on a site-by-site basis (I've never tried and not particularly willing), but I'd never disable it entirely because I browse/use more than 1 website/service at once (ZOMG TABS) |

The anti-abuse filter has been disabled as a limited experiment. The second anyone abuses it, it's going back on. |

For now, it would probably be fine to just allow Tor exit nodes for the regular domain and see how it goes. Should it not be sufficient, here are some measures that can be taken to have pie and eat it too: Although it would take some more time & work to configure, a Tor hidden service would let ipadb run for the regular domain while letting in Tor users via a loopback addr. That way, the onion addr could be left as a secret that isn't too hard to find but discourages impatient trolls. Maybe a link in an image on the wiki for a Tor article? * disable ip bans for loopback addr * raise max users on loopback to something like 6 * access toggle with fallback for trusted people This probably wont be necessary, but it's perspective worthy of post. Maybe we get some more traffic from behind great firewalls of cn/ru ^_^ |
| 1. Disable Gikopoi Firewall? |

Should I disable the Gikopoi firewall that keeps out (primarily) Tor users? A lot of people have complained about this over the years; largely I've felt that if people want to use Gikopoi, there should be no problem in using their normal IP address and that there is no good reason for using Tor -- no countries block gikopoi.com and information is already encrypted via HTTPS if people are concerned about roommates or government spying on them. However, at the same time I acknowledge that there may be interesting (yet mentally ill) people who will only use Tor or whatever sketchy VPNs the firewall blocks that are not necessarily pedophiles/spammers. If this experiment goes wrong, it only takes 2 seconds to turn the firewall back on. So, I open this question up to the audience. |

>>23 My friends (2/3) preferred the apple cider to ginger ale, but they all enjoyed everything. They were really impressed by the homemade whisky -- per my advice, they mixed it with Sprite (I brought several bottles of Sprite) and they had several servings of it. Had fun bringing the party in a dry county for $10-ish. |

Nekomonogatari: Kuro I've resolved to catch up to the currently-airing Monogatari Series season. There are about 20 hours of watching ahead of me, but I feel I can definitely get it done. Idk if other people saw Monogatari Series but it's definitely got style. |

the folks writing a map editor seemed to be having some trouble doing tiles that gikos could hide in, how about a new tile type that hides a character sprite? |

I watched FLAG earlier this year. The documentary/found footage aspect worked better than I thought it would but I never really felt a connection to any of the characters apart from maybe the other journalist guy. I get what they were going for with the ending but I didn't care enough to feel anything when it happened. Just "oh, that's how it ends." Currently I'm watching Silent Mobius, a show about a special task force of policewomen in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo fighting a demon invasion against a vaguely Judeo-Christian backdrop. A couple of episodes in and it looks like it's going to be fun but nothing special. |
