Textboard balkanization

After the death of world4ch, the textboard community has been split between numerous spinoffs. DQN, SAoVQ, Tinychan, Goatfinger, Tablecat's BBS, and countless others. Most of them die off, many just contribute to the fragmentation problem in this ever-dwindling community.

Someone should make a site that aggregates all posts from the different textboards. Does anyone remember sovietrussia? It was a site that used frames to make it so you could see all the different boards from alternative image boards (as in, not 4chan). Each of these *chans was very small, and didn't get very many posts. It was also annoying to visit multiple sites, each which usually only had one or two good boards anyway. But the sovietrussia site allowed you to see all of them with relatively little effort.

Someone should make something like that, but for textboards instead of image boards.

You're are confused, Soviet Russia was one of the smaller boards on the ii/wakachan network.

I guess you're right. It's been so long that I no longer remember all the details.

We're getting older...

Yeah, I do miss /z/ though, had a lot of fun messing around with that board.

It was a site that used frames to make it so you could see all the different boards from alternative image boards

So basically https://txtchan.org/?

>>5
that site seems broken to me

>>6
it requires js

>>7
so do crypto miners, tech support scams, de-anonymization, and ransomware

>>7
There is zero reason to require js in that style of page. Clearly the admin of that site is crypto mining our cpu.

You know how there are permissions for microphone, camera, location, etc? Nowadays even browsers have permissions like that. They should make one for high CPU usage. Otherwise, shit gets limited to certain speeds.

non-js site http://xiongnu.org/overtext/

>>11
Ah, now I see why JS is implemented. The sidebar is too damn long otherwise.

>>12
you can use CSS for that, dude

>>13
Wrong. For full-cross-browser accordion effect success JavScript is a requirement.

>>14

You can have CSS selectors based on viewport. In other words, the CSS rules only kick in at certain sizes. So one set of rules for a certain amounts of pixels, another ser of rules for another’s one, etc.

Here is what I am talking about:

While you guys obsess over compilers and shit, I am autistic about responsive design.

>>15
How would this solve the problem of the sidebar being too long?

>>17

I don’t know why your sidebar would be too long, or why you couldn’t just use Bootstrap or something for its columns and whatnot. Or some sort of hamburger menu.

I don’t know why the sidebar is too long, or why thay’s something you’re bringing up, but when I went to that site, it simply wouldn’t load the boards when I clicked on the links in the sidebar.

>>18
The sidebar is too long unless javascript is implemented in an accordion-collapse scenario based on categories and/or sites. Have not we already been over this?

>>19
You should do a Bootstrap-style navbar or a hamburger menu thing instead. Instead of worry about how tall it is, it will be laid out horizontally, and CSS media queries can show or hide stuff and turn it into a hamburger menu when there isn't enough space.

Well, that certainly would be a change.
