We're finally back online. inconnu ## Board Owner 04/06/17 (Thu) 13:58:23 No.9332

Hopefully you missed this board--at least a little bit.

Codemonkey was able to recover most threads and posts after the site database was deleted by a hacker. Some post elements are still missing but there are ways to fill the gaps. If you notice anything that needs to be fixed, please reply to this thread.

For reference, /film/ is archived in two places:

Official: https://archive.8ch.net/threads.html#!film

Internet Archive: http://web.archive.org/web/*/8ch.net/film/index.html

I'm able restore embeds by editing individual posts. Images with a /file_store/ URL can be restored if the same file is uploaded anywhere on the site. At least I hope that works. Older images with a /film/src/ URL cannot be restored because I cannot edit post attachments.

I'm disappointed that many flags are gone. Country flags have been part of the character of this board since the beginning. Unfortunately there's not much I can do about that either.

Perhaps you visited the endchan bunker during the downtime: https://endchan.xyz/film/ . We also own https://8ch.pl/film/ . For now these boards are backup options just in case things don't work out here.

OK that's it. Welcome back everyone. I hope we haven't lost too many people.

Thank you. I love this place. Panicked a bit on the day when there was a 404 page instead of /film/.

I don't post much on other 8chan boards (just lurking) but really like it here. A small, dedicated and humble community. And it's on 8chan. There ain't anything more awesome

(Sorry for my blabbering, I've always wanted to express my gratitude for people who keep this place alive)

By the way, could the 'info' and 'threads' page be fixed? They're just 404 now.

As someone who is getting tired of image boards and hostile arguments, I agree with this guy.

This board is a nice tucked away place.

Thanks guys, I got the board pages working again. I think I'll expand the Info page a bit more.

I missed the board too. I would be sad to lose it all. During the last week I noticed the 8chan alternatives still aren't very good. And 4chan looked more alien than usual for some reason.

8chan's alternative sites are mostly about politics, video games and anime, boards like /film/ don't get any attention.

4chan and reddit's communities have quite different mindsets from us. I always feel alienated there too.

8chan's community is 'specific' enough and not too 'popular', that's a good thing

> 8chan's alternative sites are mostly about politics, video games and anime

This site is dominated by those topics too. I'm convinced there are a lot of other interesting boards on 8chan, but there's no way to quickly check them all. You have to visit each board individually. Since niche topics have slow boards most people don't even bother. I wish 8chan had a customizable multiboard - view all your favorites as a single board.

Also it'd be cool to see a notification when one of your favorites gets a post. For example you'd see /film/ (1) in the topbar.

I did miss the board, even when i haven't picked up my speed to post something relevant here, but

>>9339

>And it's on 8chan

After some events last week, saying this became not very good at all, not good at all in my personal opinion due to technical and moral reasons regarding the staff and their intentions

While i doubt they would care about us, share threads that last well over a month can get noisy for them, those who have lied and played with others to remove or even dox users

Politricks aside, glad this one is back

I've been unhappy with the 8chan administration for a long time. I don't want you guys to think I have loyalty to them, given their duplicitous behavior and general apathy toward improving the site. I gave serious thought to leaving during Infinity Next (which I hated). That's when I started making alternative /film/ boards. Leaving will always be an option, but I'd want a consensus from people here.

If anything, no homo intended, i've only seen you and maybe the guys at /bane/ and /polk/ being the only decent BO's around here, so no hard feelings perceived here so far. Quite the company too

This last event did bring a lot of heat in plenty of folks, some outsider boards revived with traffic, and long-term ones as far as i've seen (8.pl, the /a/ bunker, spichan did get some users)

Doing a consensus vote here might be difficult, for starters it seems we don't even need one due to the pacific nature so far. If we get heat from that one thread, that's when things get shady. Kinda what happened with the old painless /rs/ back in the day

It will all depend if a specific search for a movie redirects people here, which doesn't seem the case, i tried 5 movies from the request thread and the de-listing from Google works (only brings results when one puts the name of site explicitly)

tl;dr All looks OK here, for now
