I believe it is an error message.

Don't get me wrong, matsuba isn't nearly as bad as the average PHP script – it really is clean in a lot of places, but it has a lot of quirks. More of hard-to-maintain, and perhaps suffering from Second System Syndrome.

Example: the logic for how posts get deleted is split between the database and the filesystem, and neither of the two "talk" to each other. As it is, deleting a file causes a database request; that returns a list of referenced files and thread IDs that were affected by the request; the controller passes that information onto the filesystem handler, which actually does the deleting; then the controller gets back a list of files that were actually deleted, checks to see if one of those files was the same url where the request originated. (That's how you end up on the same page after deleting something – unless you deleted the thread from its own page.)

In a way, the current structure makes sense from a design perspective, but it makes things too complicated and doesn't provide much benefit. If I were redesigning things I'd just have one unified data store for everything; it'd simplify the code tremendously, which, of course, would make things more maintainable and better in the long run.

Well, that's not quite fair. It's not horrible code, it's just not very good. It started as a Python translation of Wakaba that used Trevorchan's database, and with no framework or really any structure. Over time bits and pieces have been replaced but it's still really quite haphazard, and I would really like to start fresh with a real framework (Pylons or TurboGears, probably) and get all the features which were at some point implemented functioning again (namely: fastcgi, lazy thread caching, some nonsensical charts and goodies in the admin panel, capcodes, ...)

Not to mention all the crap that spontaneously breaks whenever I try to fix something else, because the only installed copy in existence is on this server. (Yes, I keep backups, I'm not that much of a dunce :)

I suppose it works, if you consider the new stuff is visible on the front page and thus less likely to need searching.

it fucking sucks

But in any case, this has nothing to do with this board or this site.

It should work with both Kareha and Wakaba. I only remember using it on a Wakaba oekaki board I had. You just need to go download fade.png from 4chan and put it in the 'img' folder.

I was just wondering if you guys could re-upload the Drydock imageboard script, as it was once uploaded before on SV.

Best regards.

I had an idea for what to put on /z/, but now it's kinda fail.
Please feel free to edit the script (found http://sovietrussia.org/dat/zmanage.py?action=fileman it's script.js) and/or post ideas

(Cool stylesheet, does it have a name?)

Any ideas? Comments? Think this would be a bad idea?

(How does 4-ch look?)

Still waiting for some sort of fix :(

Hey Mods, just want to say thanks for the site, I appreciate it, even if it is so quiet.

This place is wonderful.

it's a hash of your IP address, I think.

Never, ever use MySQL.

'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable

I am sad.

Trying again...

• /fw/: well, there's been no content for ~3 weeks, so it's been archived (34mb; this includes all of the html files). The pages will still be browsable for another couple weeks.
• /code/: the top 3 threads are apparently about how to drink coffee, homework help, and /prog/ nonsense, so >>2's suggestion is going to come into play. Sort of. /code/ is getting wiped clean and renamed; here (7.5mb) is the archive. Also, if /prog/ isn't awesome in two weeks, it's just plain getting dropped.
• /j/: safe for now, but post rates are still pretty low.
• /w/: same. Also, no one has yet posted a single theme file on there. Where are the people who supported that idea?...

And welcome to:

• /p/ - Food

I CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE.

Also <3 for /prog/

Thank you.

Also, never, ever do what you did on /w/ again. If you're going to dump a ton of files, at least make sure they're relevant to the board.

Feed it and fuck it...

The thing that makes it so hard to fix is Python on OS X (which the test system is running) has no problem whatsoever in dealing with unicode filenames, but on FreeBSD (this server), giving non-ASCII text to any of the os functions will instantly open a portal to the innermost depths of character-encoding hell.

I know it's really annoying, but it's really more of a pain in the ass to fix than it's worth.
