I'll be posting here more from now.
I'm really sad and it upsets me that some people might not even be able to view ota even through tor, but I couldn't take hosting the site anymore it's caused me a lot of stress.
I hope my friends from /what/ can meet again here, or somewhere… Honestly having a mental breakdown right now.

I've hosted /what/ for nearly 8 years.
There was still many people who posted on it almost daily.
Including friendly people, not just that one guy you talk about.
It's feels like a piece of my soul is dying, and who knows when ota is next?
It makes me feel so lonely, and sad for the people who have posted there for years, and also the people who left long ago.

That was nearly 8 years ago. I took care of that board every single day for nearly 8 years, ota is the biggest overlap with /what/ there is.
I wish there was webm/mp4 support, and that the no-3D rule was more relaxed, and that there wasn't so many bans.
I don't know how otamin feels, and never have. He's never been one to talk openly ever. He might be down the last straw on hosting ota too, who knows? I never liked walking on eggshells.

He didn't kill it though. People moved on no matter how /what/ was run.
/what/ was the best it's ever been in this past year or two IMO.
It's making me realize, that I really have nowhere else to go to post, for example, that clip from a Japanese movie with the girl flipping off another girl as she passed by.
There is a void in my soul. An extreme feeling of emptiness and loneliness.
Ota, kissu, gnfos, mero, kakashi, none of these fill that void for me.

>>523206>He didn't kill it though. People moved on no matter how /what/ was run.How can you even say that? I don't know if you still have the relevant parts because your hard drive died, but literally go check the state of the site during 2017-18, you can just check for how long the blog threads lasted (they lasted on average for a month) and compare how different the atmosphere used to be, and how people rapidly left because you just let him spam for literal pages worth of threads straight( you didn't even bother deleting his spam like you do now) and how the site basically turned into his personal shitting ground.
I am not saying that people don't leave at all on their own, but to think they the vast majority didn't stop posting because the site was being constantly spammed by someone as vapid and unlikable as him, is just bizarre.

For those that weren't /what/posters
1. The imageboard ran on whatmins personal computer. That's dumb.
2. It wasn't isolated in a vm or anything, it just ran in the background. Ofc when his system broke, what went down. That's double dumb.

>>523559>1. The imageboard ran on whatmins personal computer. That's dumb.Never had a problem with this, maintained almost 24/7 uptime for years.
If I had to go back and do it again, I would still host it on my own Linux PC and a FreeDNS domain. Costs $0 and I have no limitations on anything.
>2. It wasn't isolated in a vm or anything, it just ran in the background. Ofc when his system broke, what went down. That's double dumb.The only problem with this was PHP updates to be honest.
The PHP developers are demons and break compatibility with older PHP code every single update. There's been websites that literally die over this.
If otamin's server ever upgraded PHP (I think he's on 5.x) then ota would completely break.
Good thing I think it's a VPS where he installed Debian himself and literally has never updated it :–)
PHP 8 did just release, and I haven't tested it but I'm sure it breaks vichan. If it got too hard to maintain older PHP builds myself, /what/ would've ended up hosted inside a VM or a raspberry-pi-type computer.

Allowing even him the freedom to post (within means) harbored a feeling of freedom and low inhibition to what you post, and resulted in more variety and thoughts being expressed from all the posters.

Let me put it in simple terms:
- PHP updates break old PHP code (think how python3 breaks python2 code)
- Vichan is a dead project, the only vichan maintainer publicly screams and writes angry letters to the PHP devs
- Running old versions of PHP on an updated Linux distro is a technical issue that can be challenging.

No matter how hard people try to make good threads or bump old ones it'll never matter in the end because some shit eater will simply stroll in and spray diarrhea all over the board and otamin won't do a thing most of the time, as he hasn't been doing for years until the board finally dies.
