【1:27】 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?

I guess I should get back to adding the feature, as I've been too cautious recently I handled the server so poorly.

Sometimes depending on the file, if it is encoded weird there will be an error message that says nothing but the [Return] button. Perhaps it should direct to "file not supported" until it can accept them.

【2:8】 Saitmaar as fallback fonts for Shift_JIS art

1 Name: ゼリーさん !smz6IUT2D2 : 2026/02/02 21:52

As some world2ch users don't have the MS PGothic font, I think Shift_JIS art should use a fallback font like "Saitamaar" (which looks like pixelated MS PGothic) or "RobotoJAA" by the AAHub fonts site.

https://fonts.aahub.org

2 Name: Nameless : 2026/02/07 01:35

I'm pretty sure we already use monafont as a fallback font.
I don't know if it works, though... I've set MS PGothic as the default font on my browser wwwww

3 Name: ゼリーさん !smz6IUT2D2 : 2026/02/10 01:43

The mona font lacks some unicode blocks in most AA made using unicode blocks, like this:

You can see this by clicking on any font on the site.
I personally suggest RobotoJAA because saitamaar_light displays weirdly on my laptop

I feel like SAoVQ needs to stay its own thing, it's a sacred place that shouldn't be integrated with another culture.
However, if you don't have a VPS or something, I'm fine if you direct it to https://piza.world2ch.net/saovq/ since that is the purpose of that board.

Also, yes I am interested in whatever kareha developments you've made ( ´ω`)

【5:3】 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.

【6:10】 Frameless Navigation

1 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/19 00:36

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

2 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/30 06:50

Would it be a navigation located at the top of all the boards?

3 Name: Nameless : 2026/01/30 19:31

Here's a rough draft. It does a lot of the same things the frame did without using frames.

UserScript:
https://tilde.club/~gg/world2ch/world2ch.nav.user.js

Screen Shot:

If admin does this I will boycott this site forever

5 Name: Nameless : 2026/02/03 03:13

Frameless navigation should be an option probably, but it would be through something like frameless.world2ch.net and I don't know if it would be possible without using something that could detect whether or not frames were in use to implement the frameless navigation or not.

I think it's a good idea as a Tapermonkey script, something like 4chan X.
That way, we could add extra features like an editable kaomoji list for example.

8 Name: Nameless : 2026/02/05 20:40

My biggest beef with the frameset is that it makes bookmarking difficult.

Is there anything to bookmark besides the main page? It's all a click away from there.

【9:10】 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.

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

There is one, if you know where to look.

【10:6】 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.
