| The latest shitty clone of AT is organizing a series of illegal DDoS attacks on AT. Please report them to their host. | ? | 8 months (2009-09-08 21:25:?? UTC) |
| Mind spreading the word? The number of folks on-line should never be below 100… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-08 12:44:?? UTC) |
| New… thing: AnTs with 50 or more posts now automatically get whitelisted by the board the next time they visit the "Stuff" section. If you find any bugs related to this, let me know. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-08 04:17:?? UTC) |
| Mini FAQ: Q1: Why not just force punctuation in the end of sentences/posts? A1: Because there are many cases in which a legitimate sentence can end without one. This may not be immediately obvious, but consider smileys, URLs, poetry, etc. Q2: What's up with "suspicious" topics being created at a rapid pace? A2: Old "bullied" topics can be "revived". This is a little-known feature of the board and usually results in several old topics of the same poster getting re-created as new topics. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-08 02:36:?? UTC) |
| Firefox users: If you want to enable spell-checking in small fields, type about:config in the address bar and change layout.spellcheckDefault to "2". | ? | 8 months (2009-09-07 23:42:?? UTC) |
| The "new poll" section now also has spell checking. The removal of sane spell checking in Opera 10 caused me to finally decide to add this. Firefox also doesn't spell check text inputs (other than textareas) for some completely inexplicable reason. I wish that all Web browsers wouldn't suck ass… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-07 21:01:?? UTC) |
| Just to clarify: the board is down for many hours each day lately due to bandwidth overload attacks, doubtlessly carried out by the thief who shamelessly cloned AT. This can only be solved by buying a fatter Internet pipe, but I do not dare to do this on my extremely tight budget without any donations dropping in. Speaking of donations, if you have ever actually tried to donate via a bank transfer, but it bounced back, please let me know in a private message. It worked for one person, so… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-07 20:25:?? UTC) |
| If you cannot respect the author's intention(s) with a topic, don't reply at all. Start your own topic with your own "angle" if you must. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-07 20:14:?? UTC) |
| Removed the "topic hotness criteria" dashboard option and instead made the "hot topics" always show topics by number of replies (possibly the number of visits will get a little "weight" as well in the future). It's always defaulted to the number of visits previously, but this brings up too many crappy topics. The option was removed because on second thought, I hardly think that anyone will want to change this. Quite a few features/options seem great at first but end up feeling pointless/bloating later. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-07 03:03:?? UTC) |
| Don't be ambiguous in your posts! Even slight errors or missing words can confuse a reader greatly. This cannot be stressed enough. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-07 02:40:?? UTC) |
| I'll probably regret this, but I just removed all bans (yes, including permanent ones) and shitlisted IP addresses. Although there have been tons of trolls lately (even more than normally), I feel that some people have been "permanently" banned when they really should have just been temporarily banned. Going through all the perma-banned posters would take far too long. (The perma-ban feature was only recently added because some people just never better themselves.) Note that you won't see any PM about this. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-06 22:02:?? UTC) |
| Removed "spoiler mode". It seemed like a good idea way back, but it was really more or less pointless in practice. Making the dashboard less cluttered is worth removing this feature IMO. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-06 21:51:?? UTC) |
| How to be a true scum, deserving to die a horrible, slow death: 1. Lurk for ages while somebody else is inventing, working hard on and polishing something great and unique. 2. Simply steal it completely, changing nothing but the name, since you have no ideas of your own and will never feel the satisfaction of doing something right. 3. Pretend that you came up with it to your users and tell the original author via e-mail to take down his "illegal clone". 4. DDoS attack and spam the original shamelessly. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-06 15:28:?? UTC) |
| So many psychopaths… 24/7… non-stop… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-06 00:40:?? UTC) |
| The chat is hereby closed indefinitely. It had its prime in the first half a year or so but has since remained virtually unused. It may return some day, in some form, but don't hold your breath… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-05 04:20:?? UTC) |
| Fixed a bug introduced earlier today in the "topic trivia" pages. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-05 00:07:?? UTC) |
| If you want to help me out greatly, be sure to abuse report the latest shitty clone of AT to its host if you see it. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 22:44:?? UTC) |
| Even more DDoS attacks. When is the highly illegal site Retardchan going to be removed from the Internet? | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 21:50:?? UTC) |
| You're all glad we're back, right? I hope you do, and I'm giving you a warm "Welcome back!". I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do. | ? | 8 months (2009-09-04 21:09:?? UTC) |
| … and what part of 'Don't bitch about a topic being "revived" in the "revived" topic.' is confusing? | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 19:27:?? UTC) |
| What part of "do not feed the trolls" is so fucking hard for some people to understand? Just don't do it. DO NOT DO IT! | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 19:22:?? UTC) |
| Yet another DDoS attack. How much longer will you allow this to go on before you join me in trying to remove Retardchan from the Internet (legally, by the book)? | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 14:38:?? UTC) |
| I don't get this. Have the nameserver pointers still not spread everywhere around the world? It usually happens within hours, but now it's been what feels like days! The traffic is very low. It's usually over 100 visitors at the same time… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 07:10:?? UTC) |
| Improved the way that bulletins are presented. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 06:16:?? UTC) |
| Yet another kid has verbatim copied AT. This is the fourth (known) time. They really have no respect for somebody else's hard work… It really feels bad when you have spent so much time coming up with and polishing something unique over a long period of time and then just get it cloned by some thief. Their hosts tend to be very hostile and refuse to take proper action, despite the obvious IP violations. This is extremely frustrating. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 04:56:?? UTC) |
| Still no donations… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-04 01:54:?? UTC) |
| Why don't these fucking retards stop already? | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-03 22:19:?? UTC) |
| It would probably have been less problematic for an open Jew to run a public store in Germany somewhere around the early 1940s than to keep this place up. (Only semi-kidding…) | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-03 04:16:?? UTC) |
| The most frightening thing about all this must be that these registrars don't seem to realize that we are not using them for either server/Web hosting or DNS, but simply for a fucking domain name which they don't even "host" in any way… I wish one could bypass registrars entirely. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-02 22:54:?? UTC) |
| http://88.80.21.12/HTTPS | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-02 08:54:?? UTC) |
| Please don't stop sending those abuse reports to Retardchan's domain registrar and DNS host. We can get them off the Internet. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-02 04:32:?? UTC) |
| Transferring domains around is really painfully slow… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-02 02:31:?? UTC) |
| Retardchan uses Network Solutions, the very same registrar that just robbed us. Let them know about the child porn hosted on Retardchan and their illegal attacks. If they aren't removed, there is something seriously wrong with this world… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-09-01 01:21:?? UTC) |
| Somebody really needs to make a big, fat donation very soon… or buy an advertisement for a year or so. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-31 22:33:?? UTC) |
| Yet another incompetent domain registrar has robbed us (more info later). This is doubtlessly due to all the fake abuse reports sent in by worthless chantards. I need your help. If you want AT to survive, don't sleep or eat, but keep abuse reporting all chan-related Web sites to their hosts, domain registrars, DNS hosts, etc., just like they keep doing to us, except they are actually doing something illegal. Don't stop until they go down. If they cannot organize themselves, they cannot fuck with AT. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-31 21:23:?? UTC) |
| OK. Yet another retard company has stolen my money and removed its service: GlobeSSL. The HTTPS version of AT no longer has an authority-signed certificate but once again a self-signed one. I will not pay another company to sign our SSL certificate since this just keeps happening. Instead, those who want to use the secure version of AT will have to add an exception in their Web browser to allow it even though it is "not secure". What else can be done? Nothing, unless you start donating. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-31 18:02:?? UTC) |
| It's funny how you just don't donate/buy an ad to help the best site on the Web survive. You keep telling me that you are going to do it, but I never see any money. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-31 15:27:?? UTC) |
| Still no donations… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-31 15:20:?? UTC) |
| New feature: "Spotlighting". This is basically "bumping for polls" and is an attempt to give more attention to "bullied" polls without relying entirely on people to search, browse or shuffle their way to them. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-31 04:57:?? UTC) |
| New page available in its first version (available from "Stuff"): http://88.80.21.12/privacy | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-30 21:48:?? UTC) |
| Please report any bugs and grammar/spelling errors, no matter how obscure/unimportant/stupid they may seem to you. If you are a "white hat" hacker and manage to find any sort of security/privacy issue/hole, please immediately tell me about it and I will stop doing whatever I am doing and make it the #1 priority to fix ASAP. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-30 21:04:?? UTC) |
| Don't start posts with "Hey," "Okay," "Alright," or other useless "introductory words". It is incorrect grammar and a sign of poor writing. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-30 12:14:?? UTC) |
| See http://88.80.21.12/unserious_fraud_scam_companies_and_services (just updated) for more info on why you cannot use Moneybookers to donate anymore. I'll try to find a less retarded alternative. Got any recommendations? Send a PM! | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-30 04:14:?? UTC) |
| DO NOT donate using Moneybookers! More info soon… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-30 04:05:?? UTC) |
| If the OP to a thread says "Don't respond if you're 90 years old.", don't respond to the fucking thread if you're 90 years old. Same goes for any rule set in place by a topic creator. What is wrong with some of you?! Fucking IDIOTS. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-29 19:19:?? UTC) |
| http://www.dnsbl.org/ has apparently had AT blocked for quite some time. Not sure how many use it, but they incorrectly state that it contains "child/illegal porn", which is obviously bullshit since we don't host any images/videos/etc. Incompetent as they are, they added it without investigating. As always. Be sure to help out by e-mailing [email protected] about this. (I've already done so.) | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-29 15:07:?? UTC) |
| Hint: If you get a topic/reply deleted, don't just re-post the exact same crap without first fixing the error(s). Guess what happens if you do… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-29 03:59:?? UTC) |
| It's now possible to donate using Moneybookers.com. Let's see how many days/hours it takes for them to ban the account without telling me why and becoming another entry in the "hall of shame"… http://88.80.21.12/donate | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-29 02:30:?? UTC) |

| It's so damn frustrating to be running the best Web site on the planet and still just get ignored, censored, lied about and opposed in every possible way. It really is clear that this planet is full of retards. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-24 20:51:?? UTC) |
| No more Lockerz spam. Don't give out invites. Don't offer invites. Enough of that. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-24 19:34:?? UTC) |
| It is no longer possible to donate via Payson. I can no longer log in to the account ("incorrect e-mail/password") and got some nonsensical e-mail about "verifying" the account and sending in physical papers and shit. Fuck that. Two different AnTs were unable to use their credit cards with them as they tried to donate, and I've spotted various bugs and typos on their Web site. I won't have anything to do with a company this incompetent. It's amazing that so many companies have no interest in making money… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-24 14:45:?? UTC) |
| Polished the "Dark" skin a bit and fixed the Payson link (by request). | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-24 04:07:?? UTC) |
| This is fucking depressing. I once again woke up to find lots of complete fucking worthless garbage posted by complete fucking worthless retards. I remove it all and ban all the posters. Why the fuck aren't you posting quality topics? Why do you keep ignoring the simple, basic rules? Are you retarded for real? Do you have nothing interesting to post about? Does nothing happen in your lives? Do you not wonder about anything? Why aren't you fucking using this fantastic site?! | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-23 12:58:?? UTC) |
| It is now possible to donate using "Payson". This should be considered a test, although I'm pretty sure that it will work as I have tried them out myself in the past. You can insert some money with a credit card to your Payson account and then transfer it over to [email protected]. See the donate page for a link: http://88.80.21.12/donate | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-23 02:19:?? UTC) |
| Why do you discourage people from asking advice on this site? Stop it! | ? | 8 months (2009-08-22 20:11:?? UTC) |
| Stop referring to poster letters in topics. How fucking hard is this to get into your thick skulls? What part of "NEVER refer to posters by specific letters since they may change and are only for your personal reference!" is unclear? CITE! Every day, I am forced to ban several people and remove their posts for this and it really fucks up many topics. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-22 16:01:?? UTC) |
| New skin: "Dark". It's a dark version of the default style, basically. A dark/black skin has been requested for a long time… Let me know if this is not what you wanted. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-22 02:36:?? UTC) |
| Promoting tips: Use websites like digg.com, reddit.com and stumbleupon.com in order to link some interesting information from AnonTalk, like polls, individual informative posts or the ICARE page. Mention AnonTalk on places were people are in dire need of intelligent behavior. Create your own banners, logos and signatures. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-21 21:08:?? UTC) |
| STOP ASKING ME TO RESTORE YOUR IDS! I WON'T DO IT ANYMORE! HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO MAKE A BACKUP?! IDIOTS! | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-21 21:02:?? UTC) |
| How many times do you have to be told "Do not feed the trolls" to stop responding to their nonsensical bullshit?! | ? | 8 months (2009-08-21 17:56:?? UTC) |
| I hope everyone is having a good day. Enjoy this wonderful website! | ? | 8 months (2009-08-21 10:59:?? UTC) |
| In each topic, the "X visits" thing now is a link to a "trivia" page with statistics about the topic, rather than having you hover it with the cursor to see a "tooltip" with some basic information. The trivia feature allows you to see how many different posters are currently reading the topic and writing a reply to it. This information was previously only shown in the "folks" section and in the "new reply" section (when previewing the post). | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-21 04:09:?? UTC) |
| Come on, people. We're not "grammar Nazis". All we ask is that you use your basic third-grade language skills. We'll have a bit more leniency if English is not your first language, but I have a feeling that a lot of idiots who post "i ned hulp with somthin" know the basic rules of the English language and choose to ignore them. It's so fucking easy, I cannot comprehend anyone who cannot follow the simple rules! | ? | 8 months (2009-08-20 18:08:?? UTC) |
| The few of you who actually do post seem to be doing everything to get banned by violating every single rule… Worthless fucks. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-20 12:31:?? UTC) |

| You never, ever learn. YOU WILL GET BANNED FOR POSTING UNHELPFUL SHIT AND YOU WILL GET BANNED FOR VIOLATING THE PRIVACY OF ANYONE HERE! No fucking e-mail addresses. No bitching about a bullied topic getting revived. You fuck everything up if I leave this place for a minute. You have ZERO respect for the rules that clearly state that you must stay on topic and not feed the trolls. Fucking idiots. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-19 20:28:?? UTC) |

| The "Watchlist" main menu item now (finally) gets a "!" whenever one or more of your watched topics has a new reply. This has been planned for a long time, but I kept postponing it because of how expensive it seemed to do this check every damn page load, but with a little tweaking, it is now much faster… | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-19 03:23:??

| Day 556: No donations, no ad deals and no traffic… Why is it that you promote and link to shitty sites while ignoring this one, which is technically the best in existence? It makes no fucking sense. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-18 14:23:?? UTC) |
| I'd just like to remind everyone to please use the quote feature when you're addressing a specific response within a thread. That's what it's there for. Your reply may make sense in your own mind, but other posters don't know what you're thinking, so sometimes unquoted responses lead to confusion about who or what you are trying to address. Also remember to only leave the quoted text that is relevant. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-17 22:18:?? UTC) |
| For some time now, I've given up on the obviously naive idea that "anyone can better themselves" and introduced a permanent ban feature to be placed on posters who are just beyond help and never fucking learn. Normally, all bans expire in just a couple of weeks, no matter why they were banned. Permanent ones, obviously, never expire. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-17 22:10:?? UTC) |
| To further the state of debate on AT, I do advise that all posters on AT that frequently engage in such debates do some reading about various logical fallacies and how to avoid them. Avoiding these fallacies will make your arguments more intellectual and logically valid. A comprehensive guide to various logical fallacies may be found at this address: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-17 20:13:?? UTC) |
| "Tumblr" has quietly censored AT without telling me. I only found out because somebody happened to report it. Please remove all your bookmarks/links/mental references to the "off-site AT news" page immediately. In fact, if you have anything to do with Tumblr in any way, you probably should remove your account(s)/links/bookmarks and use a different service — your account may be gone without a trace next. | Sysop | 8 months (2009-08-17 02:53:??

| Will you please stop insulting eachother like children! I am sick of people being called 'fucking retards' and whatnot. This is supposed to be the place for intelligent debate, not opinionated bullshit! Enough of the cliques, already - just talk like normal people and help this place grow naturally. | ? | 8 months (2009-08-17 00:50:?? UTC) |

| I believe that every single page here (including all the dynamic ones) are 100% valid HTML 4.01 Strict. If you ever find one that isn't, or find any other bug, be sure to tell me immediately and I'll throw myself over the keyboard to fix it. | Sysop | 9 months (2009-08-15 02:07:?? UTC) |
| Can people please stop insulting each other on here? Enough of calling people "fucking morons" and "retarded". That will never bring people here and completely ruins the idea of intelligent debate. Grow up, already! | ? | 9 months (2009-08-15 01:57:?? UTC) |
| Look, when you come on here, you know there is going to be some controversial shit going around. Either use the Ostrich mode or create new threads instead of completely derailing existing threads. We all know how easy it is to go off-topic, but just try to keep things seperate, okay? | ? | 9 months (2009-08-15 01:37:?? UTC) |
| Here's the thing: one of the worst things about running this place is banning people and then dealing with appeals. Just don't get yourself banned in the first place, OK? It's really draining so much time just because you don't feel like respecting the (admittedly unique) "spirit" of the board. I feel really bad for banning people. Seriously. I hate doing it, so please just read the simple instructions and stop quoting entire posts, referring to "letters IDs", posting off-topic/trolly replies, etc… | Sysop | 9 months (2009-08-14 21:41:??

| Listen up folks, if you're not going to post something worthwhile, then don't post at all. This is a place for intelligent discussion, not for viciously attacking people for what they like and what you think is morally wrong. | ? | 9 months (2009-08-14 17:56:?? UTC) |
| For the love of whatever you find holy, do not say something unless you have honest evidence of its truth. I can tell you anything I want on the internet, but it won't be true unless I can prove it. | ? | 9 months (2009-08-14 09:47:?? UTC) |
| When previewing a reply, you now are able to see how many people are currently writing a reply to the topic, in addition to any new replies since you last looked. | Sysop | 9 months (2009-08-14 01:19:?? UTC) |
| It took you a long time to spot it, but at least somebody finally reported that there was no input field for the optional Web address for nearly all users. This is now fixed. | Sysop | 9 months (2009-08-14 00:40:?? UTC) |
| Is it so fucking hard to use some punctuation in your headlines? It is one press of a button. Plenty of great topics get deleted for failure to use punctuation! | ? | 9 months (2009-08-13 03:33:?? UTC) |
| Polls can now be created with an optional Web address (URL), for example linking to a video clip. I thought long and hard about this for months before actually implementing it (as I usually do) and I believe that it's a good thing for the board. | Sysop | 9 months (2009-08-13 00:55:?? UTC) |
