Name?

This field is optional. You can choose any name you want, or you can post anonymously by leaving this field empty.

Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email
?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

Development ⛵ (ID: 737d9f)Country code: us, country type: geoip, valid: 1  1

This thread serves as a running log of what's being actively worked on, announcements regarding site issues related to development, and notifications on completed tasks.

⛵ (ID: 737d9f)Country code: blank.gif, country type: blank, valid: 2

The current task is finalization of the automated backup system.

Backups are currently maintained on 2 additional storage drives (not including the one hosting the site) for redundancy. Several days' worth of backups are currently maintained on each; this may be expanded further on one of the storage drives at a later time.

The immediate task is rewriting diagnostic scripts to more easily test the backup process.

The final task will be a feasibility test and implementation of off-site backups.

The diagnostic scripts have been completed along with all the necessary failsafes.

Running final tests on the backup system. Posting will be disrupted while testing is in progress.
