Discussing something in the abstract is one thing; confessing to a crime is quite another. Rule 5 is here to stay.

You do raise some really valid points. Though we already have Rule 5: "Do not discuss or allude to real-life illegal activities" which covers everything you've specifically complained about. As for the "Moral Support and Debates" subforum, it was pretty much created so that the threads that -...

Thanks man. His style is really distinctive huh.

I just found it on 自作PC on 2chan a while ago. Kept it because it looks cute. No idea who did the picture. Incidentally, I just did a google search for the text in the picture (はーどでぃすくえらー ) and a lot of the hits were relating to akiba-online's downtime...

The site-search has its drawbacks. Anything under four characters long is not indexed. RCT-174 counts as two 3 letter strings as the character '-' is not indexed at all. This is mainly for performance reasons. The site is extensively indexed by google though and their search is much more...

I can give you 5 I've watched within the past month, all of which I enjoyed. 6ixtynin9 aka Ruang talok 69 [Pen-Ek Ratanaruang] (1999) Crazy Thai action with dark comedy elements. One of my favourite directors, best known for his seminal "Last life in the Universe". Ponyo on the cliff by the...

Should be better now.

It's Mitsuba from Mitsudomoe, a popular manga that's going to be made into an even more popular anime this year. http://mitsudomoe.info/ ANN: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-11-29/mitsudomoe-manga-gets-tv-anime-green-lit Official: http://www.mitsudomoe-anime.com/ ATM the anidb page...

It's fixed.

Rollyco to the rescue once again! The forums are back. There is a very slight bug with the timestamps, but that will hopefully resolve itself.

Fixed The following subforums are missing. Uncensored JAV Downloads General - Chatterbox - The Lounge - Anime Discussion - Game Discussion - Japan Discussion - Idol Discussion - Random This is a known issue and is being resolved. Please be patient. For now just post in the forums that are the...

MySQL managed to drop some of our forums last night during a repair. The reasons are as yet unknown. It shouldn't be too hard to fix, the thread and post content isn't gone, just the identifiers, and we know exactly which tables were modified. Hopefully it'll be fixed by tonight.

you'd need to be more specific. what name?

It seems that yesterday when the mysql crashed, those forums were lost. Not the post/thread content mind you, just the identifiers. I do remember the table vb_forum went from 171 lines to 169, but I didn't notice anything missing. I guess I was wrong. I'll get back to you on this.

Apologies for the downtime for the past two days This was due to an unresolved issue relating to our previous downtime :victim: The forum is back as it was the second it went down, though as always, please let us know if you notice anything weird.

Sorry about the downtime yesterday/today Our backup HDD failed, and in replacing the drive, the data centre technicians managed to break our primary HDD. :donotwant: Luckily, as you can see, there was no data loss. Please let us know if you notice anything weird. Oh, and Merry Christmas!

http://www.last.fm/user/Tiniest_Spark Pretty much sums my musical tastes up. My iPod refuses to scrobble (and I'm not installing iTunes) so it's not totally reflective. I guess I mostly listen to 90s stuff. The last 'new' album I enjoyed was Rammstein's latest effort.

You mean like STAR-195? That's just a video code. All JAV DVDs have them. You can usually tell the publisher from the beginning of the code. STAR is a code used by certain SOD-Create titles. All MIAD titles are by the studio "moodyz", all SOE titles are by "S1" and so on...

That's an interesting issue that we've attempted to address in the past. We do have referrer blocking. As in, if your refer address is not *akiba-online.com* then you get a 403. What we don't block is null refer linking, which is when there is no refer address. This is the case when you link...

http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions You can hide any subforums you don't want to see, just scroll down to "Forums To Exclude From View" at the bottom.

The 504 message is spat out by our webserver software, which happens to be NGinx (as opposed to vBulletin, our forum software). I am unsure if the docs are editable, but I'd imagine it would be fairly trivial to modify the message. Hopefully the 504 won't be around for much longer anyway.

Don't think that the staff don't notice what you guys notice (except some rule-breaking threads and posts, so please keep reporting things to us when you see them). The load issues have been plaguing us pretty much since day one here. We upgrade hardware on a regular basis. As Rollyco said...

Remember to disable H264/AVC in both ffdshow and MPC-HC's "internal filters" so that coreavc will pick up the processing.

If you're just using it for movies, you're looking to spend about $30 on one. That's if you need to upgrade at all. The 8400GS is around $35 and is overkill for everything besides gaming. 1280x1024 is great for 720p movies as they will playback with no scaling and your current hardware will be...

Yea, that's plenty. I have similar specs and playback 1080p live action and animation just fine, even with DXVA and CUDA (video-card processing, essentially) disabled my CPU usage is satisfyingly low. You might want to make sure your screen is 1920x1080 or higher before bothering with 1080p...

That's not really the idea. The rules are all common sense. They are just written up so that we have something to point to when issuing warnings and infractions. The overwhelming majority of active members never break the rules, and most of them never read the rules either.

We've enabled null-refer you're not the only one having issues. People these days often disable referring.

If you don't have the correct refer, you get a 403. This is the case for null-refer as well as incorrect refer. Do you have any addons for your browser that may modify referrals?

Yea, it's not worth anywhere near that. Rollyco and typoman have it right. I put ads up in the first place to pay the ever-increasing server costs, akiba-online is not a business. Adult content doesn't pay very well at all, and ad networks tend not to run non-adult ads on sites with adult...

The server can cope. It's a fighter. Though I suspect people would just upload one image and use picture hosts for the same and other images. After all, many people upload torrents as well as use an external torrent host. Forcing people to attach images with scripts wouldn't really solve the...

It's an interesting point you raise. Part of the reason we do not allow cashlinks is because they force unecessary advertising down your throat (these sort of hostile ads are still ads). Though I suspect this is a temporary issue, as fapomatic are an old and well-known adult image host and...

The forum rules have been rewritten to make them easier to understand and to include a rule for discussing illegal activities. Please pay particular attention to the infraction/warning system, which we have clarified. You can view the updated rules at the usual link...

Be advised there is a PM spammer. If you recieve a private message from someone promoting their website and claiming to be a "sponsor" of this forum, please ignore it. Akiba-online staff will NEVER mass PM users for any reason.

If you are putting the check in the box, make sure you're on the right url the cookie is for www.akiba-online.com/, not 76.73.77.171 and not http://akiba-online.com

Sorry for the downtime for the last day or so. There was something wrong with the server (one of the CPUs was faulty, which caused a corrupt filesystem) but it's sorted now. Enjoy the rest of your week. :tea:

Some forums will ration out or restrict users' ability to modify their own profile in order to make it a 'reward' later on, or a special privilege to be earned. However here anyone can change their avatar or upload their own photo gallery or have a custom user title etc. Hard to change those...

That would be vulgar :P

You mean the reputation points? yo: http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/memberlist.php?order=DESC&sort=reputation&pp=30

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A1f4cfOvMc1KdEQBnMVLBQx.?p=%40YOU+site%3Aakiba-online.com Google doesn't like "@you" but yahoo does.

http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/06/funktionide-hints-at.html This technology fused with one of the more attractive life-sized dolls. Now that would be worth buying.

Take it to PM (yes I see the irony) or not at all. Asking about forum functions is one thing. This whole "I don't like x member" thing is no good here.

Sorry for the downtime for the last 10 hours. There was something wrong with the server but it's sorted now. Enjoy your weekend.

I can't really predict how interested people here will be in a usenet group, but I think it's pretty neat. I've added nzb files to the allowable attachment types for convenience - though compressing with zip/rar does shrink them considerably so I guess convenience is a matter of opinion.

You could always just plug your computer into your TV... That's what I'd do if I had a TV.

From your link it doesn't say anything about your DVD player even supporting video. Regardless, you should change profile from 'unrestricted' (which will use encoding options only supported in recent versions of a decoder) to something like 'DXN home theater' which will use less potentially...

Mediacoder is pretty straightforward. At default settings with xvid 2-pass and avi you should be OK. Just check over the output file on your computer and see how it compares with the original (assuming you can play the original on your computer, I hope that wasn't the problem though).
