Why does this thread exist?

I wanted to ask how do I delete my posts?

>>11393
bump

>>11393
Click on the anonymous. Also if you want to report a post click the anonymous on the post you want to report.

>>11394

Click on the 'Anonymous' or whatever nonsense that happens to be there in the top right corner of the post.

If you are browsing from the computer you posted from, the passwords should match.

>>11395
Thanks a lot anon.

>>11395>>11396
why doesn't it work for OP?

Did anyone save the best posts from 2012 from that thread?
I'd like to get a copy if possible.

Why was .gs made?

>>11401
I thought it would be fun. It is, most of the time.

>>11400

I enjoyed this post the most.

>>11402

How much time do you spend on this site and what was the longest period of time you spent away from it?

Assuming you are who that post implies you are... Simon? Simone? Nina Simone? I hope you're still feeling good ladm8.

>>11403
I liked this reply to that post.

>>11405
I too think that reply was worth saving.

>>11404
I once spent a week away from the site, whilst camping in Cornwall. No signal. It was hell tbh. It was one of the few times something bad happened and it went down for about 12 hours because a disk filled up. Nowadays maroon does all the good coding work and I love her for it. But I still visit at least 5 times a day (it's still the first thing I look at every morning and the last thing I look at night) but I probably argue with people for fun a lot, lot less. I used to be able to identify patterns of people and who was posting, but I can't nowadays, it's all got a lot more RANDUM.

>>11407
I can.do without this site for or lengths.at a.time.easily, on the short tun I'd struggle more without krautchan, but over time.I'd definitely Moss this place more
loo

>>11407

>I used to be able to identify patterns of people and who was posting, but I can't nowadays

I'd always assumed that mods and admins had the ability to identify people fairly easily anyway? Does that mean bans are given on a post by post basis? Have you locked yourself out of the system to prevent abuse, are you like Finch from Person of Interest?

>>11407
>It was one of the few times something bad happened and it went down for about 12 hours because a disk filled up.

I remember this, when everyone in the IRC was shitting their pants and the enlightened ones just said "yeah it'll get fixed when purple finally runs out of weed". That was an amusing day.

>>11409
Purp lives a Fight Club/Flow My Tears The Policeman Said existence. He has multiple personalities, most of which are shitposters. He bans himself all the time, then in a fugue state unbans himself, never remembering having done so.

>>11408
I think this was me.

>>11412
Oh, maybe it wasn't.

>>11412
We've all been there lad.

>>11407

I remember this as well.

As soon as the site went live again I posted a mock dairy entry about it.

Day 1 of ITZ - .gs goes down! Or something like that. I remember thinking after I wrote it that I wasn't as funny as I previously thought I was.

>>11415

>mock dairy

I can't believe it's not better.

>>11416

My phone likes to rib me in this way, I'd steak my life on it hating me. I only skimmed the post before clicking submit.

It is clear I'm not the cream of the crop.

>>11417
The post you're talking about is featured in >>11400.

>>11420

Haha, cheers lad.

Why can't I access /A/, /x/ or /y/?

>>11488
What happens? Those are the boards hidden from /sfw/, but that's not done in such a way that could possibly prevent you from visiting them individually.

>>11489

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /A/ on this server.

(I get the exact same message for x and y in /place/ accordingly).

>>11488
Because you're in France.

>>11493
Where do you /geofag/ to?

>>11494
>>11495

Yes, I'm in France. I can access all other boards, was just wondering why those aren't available?

I do get to glimmer at these other boards through /*/ and can post via that medium as well, seeing the entire thread though remains a no go.

Just curious.

>>11496
Only UK IP addresses can access those boards, I think it was originally to prevent dodgy porn being posted but I'm not certain.

>>11497
In that case, there's either a glitch or some good cookies.
When I'm on my German VPN I can access those boards.

>>11498
It doesn't really matter - we won't be tightening any restrictions - but where does the geodatabase place you?
http://britfa.gs/geofag

>>11497

Thanks. I'm only interested in /A/ but guess I'll just have to wait until I'm back in Blighty. Sacrebleu!

>>11499
Never mind, I can't access them. It must have been a cached page or something last time.

My box of muesli says the following:

best enjoyed

Serve with milk, yoghurt or fruit juice for a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

Do people seriously fill up their bowl with muesli and then pour apple juice on it?

>>11515

It's only a suggestion lad, you don't have to obey the box.

Why do the IDs here periodically change?

>>11516
Oh, I know that. I just want to know if there really are people out there who pour fruit juice onto cereal.

>>11517
Mine just changed because I'm posting from a phone and I turned the mobile internet off and on again. I guess other posters do that with their routers.

>>11518

I'm sure there are, if you look at: http://richkidsofinstagram.tumblr.com/ you'll occasionally see some cunt pouring champagne in theirs.

>>11519

I'm pretty sure I don't have a Dynamic IP and I'm always posting from the same computer, yet it changes. Maybe it's a daily thing. I shall experiment.

>>11520

The majority of people have dynamic IP addresses these days. If you require a static IP you have to pay for it.

Why can't people from other Anglo Saxon protestant common law countries with extradition treaties and comparably efficient law enforcement have access to the good boards like in the good old days?

>>11522
because fuck you

>>11525

All the other Anglos would do it.

>>11517 >>11519 >>11520
Your ID is just the first six characters of your IP's MD5 hash.

What happened to the site for the past few days?

>>11545

You are going to have to be a lot more specific than that, lad.

Have you been having problems accessing the site?

>>11546
My guess would be the 50% reduction in posts.

>>11547
It could be the dramatic improvement in the weather, which has meant that everyone other than you, me and the other guy has been out enjoying it.

>>11546
Yeah I just got a white screen and I couldn't see any of the boards. I thought everyone had the same issue, I guess not.

when you delete your own post on .gs, do the powers that be still have them and how long do they have them for and is this cache kept for nefarious purposes?

>>11604
Yes.

Why did you let the /x/ banner look like this, with the right stroke dragged over? I remember it, it was a completely fucking stupid request, now it's getting on my tits and having a considerable toll on my masturbatathon, please revert it.

>>11606
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

What's the address to the IRC? I remember it had 'jam' and 'britfa.gs' in it.

Why did Purpz rape a baby? And how did he not hide dispose of the "evidence"? For fuck's sake, it can't be hard.

>>11659
>>/shed/9873

You can also use "site:britfa.gs/shed/ jam" as a string in Google and follow that pattern for anything you vaguely remember being mentioned in a post.

Was the site down earlier? isitdownrightnow.com said so but it also said the site had been down for over 16 thousand days.

It made me wonder if I was in some sort of Life On Mars style comma. Is this real? Am I real?

>>11738

I seem to remember downforeveryoneorjustme always used to report the other place as down because 4chan was set up to not respond to pings.

>>11738
Yes I was having some problems earlier today briefly. Needless to say I started packing my rice. I have since unpacked it.

>>11738
The site technically remained online but was unreachable via the domain for a little while. purple forgot to put some coins in the meter.

>>11742

Well he is serving 32 years m7. Maroon needs to pull her finger out.

This has probably been asked before, hence this thread to ask it again, but how come the appeal box in the ban section was removed? Did it not appeal to you?

>>11746
It was apparently because it didn't actually work.

>>11515

I tried it. It was repugnant. Quite nice with a smoothie though.

>>11746
Well thatll teach you not to make grammar and punctuation errors now wont it silly boy?

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>11749

Here, take this: '

You'll need it on your journey.

I'm getting 403 errors when I try and access the NSFW boards. Is there a site-wide problem, or have I angered the gods in some way?

>>11797
Works for me, are you posting from somewhere foreign?

>>11798

Nope.

>>11799

Never mind, realised that /sentry/ is badly mis-locating my IP. I don't know how you confuse Sheffield with California, but there you go.

>>11800

Must be the similar accents.

Does /sentry/ show the last 100 people to go on .gs or everyone that's ever been on here?

Purp, why did you join the Gurkhas and not the SAS, like the other webmaster?

>>11805
Neither. It shows the last 100 cities to post (without repetition) although some are excluded. The list would be 11 times larger if it were not shortened.

>>11805
It's the most recent distinct locations. I think if two of us geofag to the same place, it'll only appear once, and when you post your location gets bumped to the top of the list.

>>11807

Excluded means Croydon.

>>11808
Disregard that. I defer to the ninja keyboard skills of His purpleness.

Can Mods ban other Mods?

Have Purps and Maroon ever hooked up?

>>11845

I think Father/Daughter incest is beyond .gs's remit, lad.

>>11845
Wait, Purps and Maroon are separate people now?

The flashing /*/ has all the colours of the mods except for red, lilac and magenta. Is there a reason for that?

>>11848
Not really. Some inactive mods were included; the ones you name weren't.

>>11848
How did you figure that out?

>>11850

Right clicked and inspected the element. Then watched for the words that didn't flash up.

gif related

Just freshed /*/ and the attached picture popped up. Using Firefox on Win OS with Flash removed. Has happened last 3 times in a row, including opening a new tab and heading there directly. Have obviously not saved nor opened it.

>>11853
That's the YouTube ID of the Chatback video some arse put on repeat in /iq/. Clearly your browser's not interpreting it correctly.

>>11853
probably something to do with the autoplaying flash video some annoying sod posted because it wasn't BRILLIANT enough the first umpteen times.

The page 9, 'Marked For Deletion' is that entirely automated or does a human make the final decision to actually delete it?

>>11876
Automated.

If Purpz and Maroon had a kid, would they name it Prune?

>>11912

Poon, surely?

Also, can .gs madmins see who I am based on my gmail/facebook cookies? I realise it's too late for me now, but I suppose it's worth knowing if you haven't crossed your streams or had the two of you reversing the polarity yet.

>>11915
No. Theoretically it could be done using tracking cookie-things but we don't use any of those. If you want to install something like Lightbeam which shows you which websites do track you, you'll see .gs is clean.
