I got back less than a month ago and I sympathise. Returning to the "real world" is like someone suddenly turned the gravity back on... now all I want to do is escape back. As for places to visit, I spent an entire month just travelling the country by shinkansen (and local train when the...

Yea, I don't want to get rid of them yet because people could revive them (in theory...) Tags are disabled, but the tag system doesn't allow for mass tag removal within the php interface. This means the tags are still in the tag cloud. I've put the question up to the tag system developers here...

Adbrite decided to classify akiba-online as "adult", so we got buried in the annals of avnads and the only people who want to advertise here are porn sites and adult services. I used to have ads on "auto accept", but now I've taken control from adbrite. The next cycle of ads will be text only...

media player classic (for example) can play ifo and bup files, which are info files for the order (and way) the vob files will be played. vob is the file format for dvds, you should be able to play vob files directly. Or, if you want, just burn a DVD and dump the files in the VIDEO_TS folder.

Even if the story itself isn't particularly interesting, it is educational. from: http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/waiwai/news/20070911p2g00m0dm008000c.html

Gonna bring back the winter and default vB skins soon (for those who can't stand the green) And the banner too, definitely needs a redesign...

Aesop Rock - [Fast Cars, Danger, Fire And Knives #05] Winners Take All

Bump. NB: If you want a thread moving FROM the recycled TO the regular torrent section, don't hesitate to PM a mod or myself to do it for you.

Yea.

Otherwise they'll just be deleted. Thanks, and apologies.

Yup. I do have approximately 2.1GiB of the attachments on my Hard Disk as I type this, but the total attachments for the backup were over 6GiB. The datacentre cut off the connection before I could get the rest. I will work on uploading the ones i have though. Rest assured, I'm not stupid...

While we're still ironing out kinks, the forum is back online. Just consider it a fresh start. Smilies will be returned soon, as will other features. Any bugs, report here.

I did that last time. Tipped me over my luggage allowance (by around 120%) so they wouldn't let me on the plane until i got rid of one of my bags. I fed-ex'd it home (for an extortionate fee, though much less than the fee they were asking for extra baggage allowance, which was equal to another...

Was a bug with the usergroup settings. Fixed.

You can check out a rough sketch of the newsblog here: http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/main.php?page=news (thanks to The_Bug for writing/translating it) Also, had another thought on it: ANYONE can post a news item a la slashdot but the post is checked (and possibly edited) by an editor before...

Actually we're trying to stabilise the theme overall, so that the forum will retain a distinct look and feel, however a new banner for summer will be created soon.

Akiba-Online is going to expand its dedication to providing the newest and best Otaku-downloads, to providing the latest [Otaku-News]! A news crew are needed to post the most interesting pieces from around the internet related to otaku-culture, be it games, the latest sex toy, or the newest...

I'm off to Japan in 9 days. Gonna be staying in tokyo for a while, but also gonna be backpacking (somewhat) around japan staying in hostels. Anyone got any experience of booking in advance vs. turning up? I don't wanna be in too many "no room sorry" scenarios where I have to sleep on a bench...

Update: the "loli torrents" subforum has been removed and the threads have been tagged 'loli' and moved to the subforum they correspond e.g. h-manga (loli subforum activity wasn't high enough to warrant a specific forum) Loli torrents can now be found at the tag 'loli'...

The tag system has been re-implemented, so when posting a new thread add relevant tags. Thread owners can edit the tags of their threads at any point. Use whatever tags you deem necessary, however keep in mind the tags that others use, to make it easier to locate similar threads by tags...

Disregard that, he sucks cocks. And I live in England. The server isn't closing. There is no funding issue, not anymore. Not for a while.

I haven't set up any alerts. I just click on most threads in the 'new posts' list. No way to evade me really. Except to post really, really boring stuff. Or put "shemale" in your thread title :silence:

Oh man I really do love this game... Now I have to go re-install RaidenIII

Uhm...not really. You can find any h-game on the japanese p2p networks before the chinese torrents (and that's where most are sourced) but there's not really any websites...

It means it's not an AVI file. It has the wrong extension. It could be a real media, ogm, mp4 or any number of other streams. Check the file properties when you run it in GOM player. Also, since it plays in gomplayer, it means the file works, but it is best to know EXACTLY what file type it is...

What I said was my paypal account was closed. Now I have to pay the datacentre with bank transfers. I just wanted to vent on the forum about it. Hopefully not too many people got the wrong idea. Hopefully more will spring up in its place. That kinda thing always happens when torrent sites die.

Shibuyabashi forums is NOT going to die. Not now. Not Ever It's a shame about xuhu though, :puzzled: but it'll just mean that another chinese forum will get lots of xuhu refugees. :p :full:

Disregard this thread

It's already a feature, you just haven't noticed. In the forum display, scroll to the bottom left of the screen and select how you want to view it. Note: You can't sort like this when you query "new posts" because you're querying "new posts" I am going to write a custom page for a "new...

Let me make it abundantly clear: proposed UK laws will not and cannot affect this site. IF loli was criminalised in the USA, I doubt I'd be in a rush to remove it anyway.

vBulletin has ranking, where you can set any title change for any postcount increase. It's entirely optional and the default setting is 30 posts = member. "senior member" is NOT default, the only forum I know of that has 1000 posts for senior member is hongfire forums, and that is a relatively...

net neutrality is just a buzzword like web 2.0 and it doesn't have any real meaning, just layers of vague. If the question was "is total freedom on the internet a good thing" i would have to say yes.

Scanlover blocks certain IP ranges, i.e. countries, (e.g. vietnam, japan) from access to the forum and/or mainsite. Only way around this is a proxy.

It's not down.

That account had no relation to shibuyabashi forum, it was just my paypal account. Only relation was a link in my signature for donation that a few people used, and that paypal saw as a TOS violation and closed my account altogether. I can't set up another one with the same card/bank details...

not sure i understand...but yes, it's easy. When your account is open that is...

Donations violated TOS because this is an "adult site" apparently, which goes against their fascist policy.

Don't go all emo... A-O/shibuyabashi forums aren't gonna disappear... this is just a setback. Chances are the site won't even go down at all, and it's certainly not gonna disappear forever... It's just awkward because this site is one of the easiest things I do, and now it's become difficult...

re-attached

Today I got an email from paypal. They've closed my account. This means 2 things: 1. No more donations 2. I have no way to pay for the server!!! The datacentre I use accepts either international credit card or paypal. I don't have an international credit card. I'm gonna look into getting a...

No, the answer is 'eventually'

Firstly, don't count on there being another downtime or data-loss. To sort the members by a custom field such as 'thanks' would require a minor modification to the forum code. Such minor functional tweaks are planned, though the relative priority is low... As for ranks determined by 'thanks'...

Leech handles the smilies.
