I've made a great deal of progress on the player listing section. You can add yourself now if you like; however, you won't be able to modify the information you've provided, and at the moment it only tells viewers if you are currently available (based on the hours you check off, e.g. if you're available at 2:00am GMT+1 on Sundays and someone checks at 1:00am GMT+0 on a Sunday, it will tell them you are available for gaming).
Speaking of which, please make sure you set your timezone on the Change Settings page here. This will affect all date/time information on the site, including viewing games and players or adding new games and players. If your timezone is not properly set, you may be confused when everyone tells you how awesome that game was that happened six hours ago...
I've added a way to change the default timezone when viewing games, so now it will show listings in whatever timezone you set in your preferences. You can change these settings (including whether the sidebar Flash chat shows) on the lefthand sidebar.
I'm going to add a player listing, which will allow people to simply specify the dates and times they're usually available. This way, if someone wants to run a game, information for locating the players will be easily available to throw something together. If there any suggestions or requests, please let me know at 4chan@thisisnotatrueending.com.
Jesus Christ. Note to fucking self: Don't code after 3am. No matter how epic it turns out to be, you will NOT remember how it works the next day, despite copious comments. And God help you if you forget to put comments as you write, assuming you'll understand how you did it tomorrow.
Also note: MAKE YOUR TEST CODE APPARENT AS TEST CODE, SO YOU DON'T TEAR YOUR FUCKING HAIR OUT FOR TWO FUCKING HOURS BECAUSE OF A SINGLE ANTI-LOOP MEASURE YOU PUT IN AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT DURING TESTING. GAH.
Happy Halloween everyone!
Inquisitor Lord Elias pointed out that clicking images in an archived thread didn't work properly; I'd made a mistake when rewriting the URLs to local files, so while the images were properly stored, they weren't being properly referenced. I've fixed it, so all threads should now properly show the full-sized images if clicked in an archived thread.
Any new threads and any threads still live on 4chan have been fixed on update, but some of the expired threads need to be manually fixed. I'll be doing that with a simple find/replace in a moment, but if you find a thread that's not working right, 4chan@thisisnotatrueending.com or just post it in the chat on the left.
Speaking of which, I'm going to be adding a way to remove it if you don't want to see it on the sidebar on every page, so if it annoys you, you'll be able to turn it off. Nobody's actually complained yet, but I'm sure it must be annoying someone out there, and the damn chat isn't smart enough to log you in only once if you've got multiple tabs.
A simple request interface has been added. Let me know how it works out for you all. It only works on /tg/, so I don't think shit will break under heavy use or anything like that. It's automated, so you should get the thread archived immediately after the request unless something goes awry. Fortunately, you don't even have to spam shit at people to get things archived; currently, it just saves the thread on the first request. Also bonus: no ads like on 4chanarchive. Also also bonus: You don't get fucking banned for mentioning my site!
As always, 4chan@thisisnotatrueending.com if you run into trouble or have suggestions/requests. I'm going to make it so you can add notes, titles, descriptions and tags to threads next; right now it just archives the thread by the original number and that's it.
Not that I really needed one, but I found a really simple-to-implement Flash-based chat app. It's embedded in the sidebar, with a larger window available on the chat page. Go and talk about stupid shit. GO FAGGORTS.
I'm thinking of implementing a request interface to help archive threads. /tg/ is a relatively slow-moving board, so it should be easy for a manual request interface (which is how it'll have to remain for the moment): you enter the number of the desired thread, and I'll snag it at some point for archival. Hopefully that will further improve the utility of this site.
Hooray, 4chan's back! For now, anyway. It's still a little shaky, but I think things are back to normal. (If you can call anything about 4chan "normal," I mean.)
Jesus Christ. 4chan's was DDoSed into oblivion last Thursday-ish and it's still not back up. Wow. Isn't this the sort of thing /b/tards should be doing to other sites? I can't wait to see what the /b/tards are going to do in response once they can regroup. It should be very, very interesting.
In the meantime, it looks like a lot of fa/tg/uys have taken refuge at 420chan's /tg/ board. Use adblock if you want to get rid of the annoying flashing colors and sound; they've probably been implemented to keep newfags out of the boards until 4chan has returned to normal. Me, I just look at all the pretty colors and drool.
I'm still trying to archive popular threads, but with 4chan completely DOA it's hard to find anything anywhere. The reprecussions of a single site's meltdown can be felt throughout the interwebs:
By the way, I am searching specifically for the Rood threads: the original thread, the thread where he meets Sir Brian, and the thread where he hijacks Sir Brian's Spelljammer ship. If people happen to have these or other awesomenesses, please send to 4chan@thisisnotatrueending.com for lulz storage.
That's all for now. Good luck in this dark hour, /tg/!
