Easymodo backup for /a/ and /jp/

FoOls is mostly composed by channers. Actually, I could say the group is pretty popular on /a/.

Today I read that easymodo is going down, and since we are kinda power-users of the service, I have installed the archiving software on one of our servers.

You can access our /a/ and /jp/ archiver at http://archive.foolz.us. By now it’s stable enough, save the reports function for which I don’t have enough love at 4am, but surely will have when I wake up fixed it.

The Easymodo admin said he’ll publish the dumps of the past years later, and I think we’ll need a bigger server for that, but I guess we got one for that.

    /jp/ has a terrible userbase and should not really be allowed a ghost mode and other interarctive features like the reports page.

    Thou shall see.

  2. vendook says:

    I agree on the reports thing, but ghost mode was still used for some things, notably that ero-voice thread. I wouldn’t mind the ghost function being off for /jp/, the whining and retardation far outweighs the worthwhile posts.

    I don’t think you should take the ghost function off of /jp/ because it will just cause a lot of drama.

    Also, /m/ is smaller than /jp/ and /a/, are you sure you can’t host it? It has no archive at all.

  4. Baker says:

    I know its already been asked, but could you please once again consider /m/?
    It runs slower than /a/ and is less frequented than /jp/ but I’m sure the people of /m/ would like it if they could archive the discussions. Sure /m/ has their share of trolls too, but there tends to be more long term discussions on /m/, so it’d be a bit of a shame if it were to go down the drain pipe. After all /m/ was created as a spinoff from /a/ long before /jp/ was.
    I apologize if I’m just repeating what other’s have just said. I just enjoy the community of /m/ and would be upset to see it all go away.

    Also, if it’s seriously going to be a problem for you to host the /a/ thumbnails or host /m/. Consider a donate option. I’m sure tons of people, including myself, would be happy to throw a couple of bucks to use the archive.

  6. Verty says:

    Jesus christ shut up about /m/.
    /m/ is for retarded faggots.

    Also I noticed the archive is down, are you working on it or something?

    1. Thanks for achiving /a/
    2. Get rid of /jp/, they made something for themselves already
    3. Why are people calling you Daiz of manga? Don’t follow your stuff, what are you trying to do?
    4. I am sexually attracted to you.

      1) No prob.

      2) >dyndns >likely to be a homeserver therefore I’ll double until I am sure it’s stable

      3) I code a comic reader that several scanlators use. Not really a reason to call me Daiz, I just have some influence because of my software.

      4) No homo.

  8. Max says:

    Excuse me, is there any chance you could just keep it web 1.0?
    It’s really broken right now.
    Or maybe adding a way to look for ”same” images like the easymodo
    one did?
    Otherwise it’s impossible to find threads that were made around that function
    to locate them in the archive, like many writefag ones.
    Thanks for your effort.

    • woxxy says:

      I’ll fix everything, but while fixing stuff, I have to go and rebuild the layout to something that doesn’t look hackish so I can work on it more easily. That’s why it will look more modern.

  9. Some random faggot says:

    Thanks for the /a/ and /jp/ archive, woxxy. It’s certainly much appreciated. I’d keep an eye on the /jp/ ghost board though.. while I know a small amount of users use it properly it has devolved into nothing but pure shit for a while now. I’m surprised Eksopl even bothered enabling it again.

  10. Anonymous says:

    As another fa/tg/uy, thank you very much for adding us to your archive. I know you didn’t have to, and that it only meant more work for you, and I really appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    • woxxy says:

      For /a/ and /jp/, it’s maybe few hours of downtime. For the other boards, we lost the 2 days, and nobody archived them, so there’s no way to rescue that data.

    In regards to the controversy over whether certain content should be deleted on the /jp/ archive. I believe it’s a vocal minority that are advocating against the deletion of bad content. Spam is spam and it doesn’t belong on the internet, period. No one argues in favor of quality control, but I’m sure every sensible user would agree that spam is just a waste of bandwidth and is an eyesore. I’m not sure of the exact number but it wouldn’t surprise me if 5% to 10% of 2011′s archived content was spam. (I’m sure Eksopl has a more accurate guesstimate.) /jp/’s spam is nothing like /a/, on /a/ immature users spam to make a point (e.g., derailing threads). On /jp/ spam is more like a DDoS against the board itself.

    In conclusion, leave trolling, shitpost and idiotic threads alone. But remove blatant spam (e.g., pictures of penises, 3D feces, dailydose, and off-topic raids). If it was up to me, I personally wouldn’t delete the spam from the database, I’d just toggle it off in such a way that it’s no longer visible to the general public. I stopped going to easymodo because all I saw there was spam. Hopefully your team’s archive will be easier on the eyes.

    P.S. There’s a lot of spammers on /jp/ who get off on seeing their spam archived. (Even Eksopl himself was beginning to think his archive was being used for such purposes.) The whole drama surrounding the tripfriend Jones is that he removed a vocal, autistic spammer’s content, which resulted in said spammer waging a holy war against him.

    Keep up the good work.

      Jones was an idiot who deleted anything he didn’t like. A fuuka archive is an real archive, not a 4chanarchive archive. Either save everything but CP or don’t even bother.

    The addition of /tg/ is greatly appreciated; of all the boards on 4chan it’s the one that most consistently produces useful content. If not for the easymodo archive, some of my own writefagging I did on the spur-of-the-moment would’ve been lost, and it’s very nice to know the functionality of an automatic, comprehensive archive will be retained because of your efforts.

    Whether the same can be said of /jp/… or indeed, the idea that /jp/ routinely produces content worth saving at all… is a dubious claim at best. But they’re your server resources – we’ll let you decide.

  13. iForgot says:

    Can you amend the classic troll feature of post deletion not actually doing anything to ghost posts.
    it just adds the garbage can icon and says it was deleted. (for the lulz?)

  14. Anonymous of Jacksonville says:

    I got all the image dumps and databases backed up to an Amazon S3 account, if anyone wants them. And by “all” I mean all the ones listed yesterday (m, jp, a, tg). I don’t mind setting up a VPS to handle one of the board archives, maybe more.

    Anyhow, if anyone want those files to set up their own server, get in touch.
