Yesterday, Beyonder stepped down as board owner of /co/ due to personal reasons. I didn't pry into what those reasons were, but he assured me he will be fine and I wish him the best.
Beyonder has passed to me ownership of /co/. I have been serving as /co/'s Board Volunteer for a number of years now and was managing the board during Beyonder's extended absence prior to his decision. I hope I can live up to the faith Beyonder has placed in me and your expectations.
I do plan on some changes, mostly clarifying the board's rules and opening up volunteer applications, but I won't have those ready for awhile yet. As of right now, I've only made two changes: made the little anchor icon visible on bump-locked threads and re-enabled custom board assets such as the spoiler image and the "file deleted" image clear your cache if they don't appear.
I'm also opening up banner submissions and looking for something for the "no file" image (that image you see in the catalog that says "No file. Click here to view." when there's an embed in the OP). Banners need to be 300x100 exactly, under 500KB, and can be .jpg, .png, or .gif. The "no file" image must be 500 x 500, under 500KB, and can be either a .gif or .png.
If you have any questions, you can reach me at yani@8chan DOT co. Thank you for everything and I look forward to the future.

Depends entirely on the image size of the thing being storytimed. Sometimes 8chan takes a shit when you try to upload too much at once and you are forced to do less than 5 at a time. The point, however, is not that people are posting less than 5, but strictly 1 image at a time, which is cuckchan shit and has not been a thing here on 8chan for as long as anyone worthy of being here will remember.
