【1:6】 The request board was accidentally wiped

I have a backup but it is very outdated and restoring it wouldn't accomplish much.
Continue on.

Would you ever consider doing away with frames for site navigation? I have an idea that I'll implement as a userscript to demonstrate.

【3:20】 Captcha Situation for the Imageboard

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/12/27 14:20

The posting form doesn't have support for the old home grown captcha anymore. It just has support for the discontinued version of recaptcha.
https://github.com/marlencrabapple/Glaukaba/blob/master/futaba_style.pl#L364-L394

Server-side captcha generation and checking code for the home grown captcha still exists.
https://github.com/marlencrabapple/Glaukaba/blob/master/captcha.pl

What do you want to do about this situation?

11 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/16 09:35

Go ahead and post your notes. I tried it locally, and it made a tiny 100x100 thumbnail for me when I attached a webm to the post.

If I were to change it, I'd make it use the same size constraints as the other thumbnails as defined by MAX_W and MAX_H. I'd also make the thumbnail preserve the aspect ratio of the video.

12 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/17 10:27

>>10
So I tried to create a thread that attached a webm to the OP over at https://world2ch.net/imgboard and the error I got was:

>Missing JSON module

That comes from the beginning of webm_handler in wakautils.pl from this code:

eval "use JSON qw( decode_json )";
make_error('Missing JSON module.') if $@;

Can you get JSON installed on your server?

13 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/17 18:06

>>11
I think for it to process the file right you'd have to let it be recognized as a main filetype so it doesn't refer itself to just a standard thumbnail like https://world2ch.net/imgboard/img/mp4.png
You probably already discovered it, but I believe these specifications are located at:
wakautils.pl lines 1098-1329~
wakaba.pl line 3531~

I just remembered that I commented out a few lines of webm_handler when I first installed Glaukaba locally, because a few of those lines are considered syntax errors now. They were probably legal perl back when he wrote it, but not anymore. (It worked for me on the first try, because I had commented them out and made webm_handler sufficiently functional.)

Anyway, I took the time to properly fix those lines and make them syntactically correct again. By applying the following fix, you should be able to post no-audio webms as he originally intended.

Here is a fix for the webm_handler subroutine.
https://tilde.club/~gg/4nameless/video-support/webm_handler.pl.txt

Here is a screenshot that shows that I was able to post webms locally.

I'll see what I can do about mp4s next.

Post too long. Click to view the whole post or the thread page.

Also, make sure you have this in your config.pl.

use constant ENABLE_WEBM => 1;

16 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/18 00:24

A quick hack I can do to piggyback mp4 support into webm_handler is to comment out some of the make_error calls that are trying to make sure it's a webm only. A small change to process_file in wakaba.pl to add mp4 support would be needed, too.

Do you want to try this?

17 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/18 00:42

This is the quick hack to add mp4 support.

【4:10】 Tor

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/10/07 23:28

Is the allowal of Tor exit nodes on this site intentional?
I like to use Tor when I can and there are sooo few forums that you can use TRULY anonymously and just shoot the shit.
I get paranoid when I think about tying my IP to what I say. Granted, I'm still using a consistent user agent cause Falkon doesn't support randomizing them but whatever.

>captcha: banation

2 Name: Nameless : 2025/10/07 23:29

Also, will there ever be a JP board? There used to be one. Not much of a "world"2ch with just an english board.

3 Name: Nameless : 2025/10/08 07:46

Until a problem arrives that makes forbidding it necessary. Tor was blocked on the imageboard, but wakaba is better at stopping spam

>Also, will there ever be a JP board? There used to be one.

There is one, if you know where to look.

5 Name: Nameless : 2025/11/26 04:12

On the rare occasion that I see I2P referenced, I always read it in my head as "internet 2 peer" (like peer2peer), I have no idea what it actually stands for though

It seems like some Tor exit nodes are blocked, but it's easy enough to Ctrl-Shift-L in the Tor browser to setup a new circuit and find one that works. Posting from Tor now.

I should probably use an updated list of exit nodes, but it's probably enough as it is now to discourage spam

【6:1】 Partnership Question

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/16 21:48

Hello. My friends and I own an imageboard (which will not be linked unless given approval from W2ch's admin) and we'd like to partner with this site (e.g. both sites link to each other or something along those lines). The culture we are striving for aligns closely with W2ch's (namely with things such as soy wojaks being disallowed).
I do not intend this post to be spam, but feel free to delete it if you believe it to be so.

【7:6】 Site Grievances

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/11 06:59

The Image and Oekaki boards plus the Battle-R game do not open within the iframes
The Japanese introduction page is really outdated
Japanese language board is not mentioned anywhere but the Japanese introduction page
The request board on the landing page is not bolded, unlike the others
User guide feels incomplete
AATester isnt on the sidebar
Bottom software information links are dead and/or all in japanese

Overall B-, you can retake the test next friday if you wanna try and improve your grade.

2 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/11 09:11

These are easily fixable, and Adminくん should be thankful someone was kind enough to compile such a thorough TODO list.

3 Name: 094!TCJyoHEGa6 : 2026/01/12 01:31

I express my gratitude to you >>1
I did add the AAtester to the frames, but some of the grievances you listed are intentional, for now at least. The requests board isn't bolded because it's likely
not the first choice from the selection for most users, The Japanese part of the site is on hold since there are bigger priorities, and the sites which are
credited with creating the softwares just don't exist anymore. I think I will make the dead links direct to an archive because you mention it. The user guide is
indeed incomplete, and I think I will just kopipe SAoVQ's user guide since it covered just about everything.

>The Image and Oekaki boards plus the Battle-R game do not open within the iframes

There are errors with the softwares when they are used with frames. For instance the imageboard will not reload the page after a post and the oekaki board will not
display threads. I do not know the cause of these yet, but would be very thankful if someone found the solution.

【9:7】 Why isn't the Japanese board in the frame menu?

■ ▲ ▼

1 Name: Nameless : 2025/11/25 12:48

Putting it in a "Language" category could be nice, as it would provide a dedicated place for adding other language-based boards in the future

2 Name: Nameless : 2025/11/26 08:16

I didn't even know it existed. It took me a while to find then realized it was in the page for 2ch users. Holy hell man, the last post there is from mid October, why doesn't he just put it in the frames???

3 Name: Nameless : 2025/11/27 07:17

Usually japanese boards on English sites are just bakagaijins practicing their japanese. The board was shown to some Japanese BBSes including 5ch to little avail, so I may feature it on the bbsmenu.
