>A place where people can create and discover topics
>You can post anonymously without logging in
>where people can post content such as text, images, webm
Sounds very similar to image boards like this one, except for
>voice chat
Voice chat tends to be used by normies. I think that would be the only significant difference other than the layout is a bit different.

It looks like a cool site. Only issue you may eventually have is spam bots and the assholes who eventually start posting CP or other illegal content which you'll be compelled to delete for legal reasons.

>>53235
Thanks for trying it out and your kind words. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

The intention is definitely not to make something similar to image boards. I think image boards are great at what they do as is.

The idea evolves more around setting topics in structure. That is, you can make subtopics under a topic which again can have subtopics. This makes it easy to create and discover new subtopics and progress into more and more specific aspects in a structured way. If you try making a topic and subtopic I hope the intention will be more clear.

Anyway, I hope to hear from you again on depvana and let me know if the project is heading in the right direction or something could have been done better. best,

a minor bump

Last bump

oh hey, fancy seeing you here
how's the site going? getting new users?

>>53232
Kinda like a forum OP? or reddit, but I'm not saying that in a mean or insulting way though since reddit does something similar to what you want It could work if it's niche enough.

>>53235
You just get volunteer mods and shit like cloudflare/basedflare to prevent that.

And just put a disclaimer that every poster is responsible for their own post and the website can't control what other people post. Just to wash your hands clean of what other people do in the site.

>>53285
Hey, pleasure to hear from you, were did we meet?

Site is going great in my humble opinion. Slow and steady progress. Most importantly though, how do you think the site is going?

Have you tried it lately? Would love to hear about your experience using its features and any thoughts you may have on it. Cheers,

>>53287
Thank you. I would not see it as a forum. If you try it out I am sure the distinction will be clear. If anything, you can see it as a new take on a mixture of discord/reddit where topic rooms can spiral into subtopic rooms.

Reddits problem is that there is no structure on its subreddits. Just one long list of sporadic posts that should have been divided into subtopics. Discovering subtopics of subtopics or treat anything in a structured way is next to impossible. I hope Depvana solves this.

That being said, reddit has become a hostile platform with suffocating censorship and moderation. Horrible tracking and analytics of its users. Incomprehensible karma points. Just to list a few.

Can I convince you to try it out? Experiment all you want, make some post and create a topic and let me know what you think. Your feedback is highly appreciated. We need to test out new sites otherwise we are stuck on facebook and reddit forever. Cheers,

>>53296
i first saw you post on bant
i haven't used it until i found this thread and i will say it looks good, maybe you could fill the space on the sides with some stuff, either qol things or just expand the post window so it looks less empty

i will be honest i didnt get how the subtopics things would work at first because i didn't see "subtopics" written on the side panel (my bad -.-) so i thought it would be something dumb like a post having the name of the subtopic next to it but still being mixed in with everything else, it's a good idea imo, it will help keeping the place clean by separating what would be the equivalent of generals on 4chan from more generic posts

one thing, i dont know if this is an issue on my end, or if it's because it's still unimplemented but the subtopics panel has some "..." buttons which i assume are there to open a hamburger menu, however they don't seem to be functional

good luck

>>53302
Awesome, thank you. Good idea with the empty space. I will think of something to fill it, while still hopefully preserve simplicity. I encourage you to make some posts or create a topic if you ever feel like doing so. Is that something I can convince you to do?

Anyway, I hope to hear from you again from time to time and your feedback is much appreciated and will affect the direction of the project. Best,

This site needs two topic threads: movies and music. Maybe a TV thread and DIY hobby thread as well. I did contribute some more replies recently. It does however need some more diverse topic threads but I do not wish to register just to create more of them. Maybe the owner or someone else will?

Think about it. If I can think like this the morning after drinking half a liter of bourbon last night then you all should have some ideas to share too.

>>53337
Wow that's a serious mind bender. What do you mean by infinite big/small and infinite density/vacuum?

>>53336
Thank you, good ideas. There is already a music topic with some very good music recommendations, check it out. Many more will come. Cheers

>>53323
sure, i'll post something if i feel like it

>>53337
nice!

>>53349
Thanks, appreciate it.

>>53343
I commented on my speculation. Keep in mind this is just a theory of mine, I do not actually know if it is true or could ever be proven true. I do however find the universe fascinating and have an open mind about other theories out there.

Nice site, keep up the good work anon.

>>53360
Definitely very interesting, much I hope someone make a breakthrough on that front.

>>53372
Thank you. Hope to see you again from time to time on depvana and let us know if we stray course

Glad to post on a real site.

I like this site very much, huge potential, just keep out the (((bad actors))) and it will remain good. Will be posting some of my own thoughts from now on, enjoy the financial and economic threads btw.

>>53404
>>53404
Thanks guys, really appreciate it. Hope to see you on Depvana. Don't hold back if you have suggestions for improvements. If anyone want to get involved let me know. Best,

>>53247
Last bump? Really?

So I come back here after a couple days and /b/ is loaded full of nonsense again. Have a bump OP, you contributed something of value here!

>>53481
Yah, gore CP and namefag posters are total cancer. Have another bump.

>>53481
>So I come back here after a couple days and /b/ is loaded full of nonsense again.

Yeah well it's /b/ so that's to be expected. Just ignore those threads, bump good ones like this one (or make your own), and whatever lol

>>53512
I'll continue to do so anon. I hate this cancer when there is so much potential for the site to be better. Retards always have to shit this place up for whatever reason.

>>53549
Agree, can confirm the spam has been deleted already

>>53549
What up, thanks for the heads up on the spam, all the incoherent spam has been cleaned. What goes on in some peoples heads are unbeknown to me.

If anything, it is a great motive to improve the backend with automated defensive measures. All the best,

>>53551
Thanks anon!

>>53554
I think some people are born to be retarded assholes, and it will never change. Hopefully they know who they are and what they are, and change, but chances are they won't, and choose to remain retarded assholes.

Great site by the way, I will continue posting there too.

Hope to see more threads created soon. Maybe one for news & geo-politics (although debates could get heated lol). Maybe another for promoting good TV shows and movies. I don't have any registered accounts so I'll have to wait for some to be created.

Fuck off you sick vile faggot.
>>53595
>>53596

>>53563
Awesome thanks, really appreciate it

>>53588
Thanks for chiming in. There is already a Movies/TV topic that I think should serve the purpose, or do you prefer a more specific promotion topic?

I agree with the news and politics. A topic for both of them will be coming today. Heated debates are allowed and encouraged. We are aiming for no censorship, as in, if it's allowed by US law it goes.

If you don't mind me asking. What is the reason for you not having and account? You just fill in a username with no verification needed. With an account you get notifications when someone replies to your posts and you can create any topic you care about. Is there something in the signup process we need to improve on, or is it more a ideological decision? Cheers,

A general inquiry:
Do you guys prefer posts on a topic being sorted by date in ascending or descending order? In other words, should newest posts be found at the top or at the bottom?

What about the layout and color themes. Anyone have some suggestions for improvements or is it fine as is?

>>53614
Let us know if you change anything, I think it is fine the way it is.

>>53633
I think the site is fine as is. Just keep the spammers away and everything is OK.

The site is not loading OP.

>>53659
Thanks for the heads up. The ISP had some problems. It is running smooth again now.

>>53655
Awesome, great to hear. I think we got the spam under control, at least for now. It is something we continuously gonna improve on.

>>53232
literally kill yourself

>>53667
No way. I think this is a great site, probably better than anything someone hate-filled like yourself would ever manage to create.

>>53671
Yeah I agree. Some people are just born with defunct neural brain wiring, as is the case with this Sage Guy. I think of people like that as mindless non player characters, where any attempt to reason with them is futile.

>>53679
Haters gonna hate but a lot of the time they hate you because you are doing or saying something right. Cowards often hate people who are not cowards like themselves. It makes them seethe knowing they themselves cannot compete on a fair level.

Site is going well so far, a small but at least humble and respectful user base.

have another bump
/b/ threads are getting stupid toxic again

>>53702
THIS AGAIN.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Btw, would anyone be interested in encrypted topic rooms?

>>53736
Start one up, at some point someone may respond. The site seems to be gaining some traction which is good.

>>53235
Agreed, no one needs voice, it will only lead to cancer infiltrating the site. Leave that shit to Discord and other big tech services.

>>53753
Thanks that's probably a good idea.

>>53765
Interesting, can you elaborate on why you think voice will attract cancer? I was generally under the impression that voice is great as an option.

>>53777
Voice to text reminds me of what happened when 8kun added that option. Low and behold after being adopted there were these normie hate spammers using their phones with the voice option trolling the boards all day long, yelling into their phones, converting to text, often times the text not even coming out correctly, and them having to re-iterate and correct what they previously said. That option just seems to attract the most obnoxious people out there. You can go for it if you so choose but I fear it will attract a user base that would be better suited elsewhere on normie platforms. Then again I understand you do desire wider reach so there is always a risk of attracting scumbags.

>>53788
Thank you, I appreciate your take on it. Just to clarify, voice chat on depvana is just for voice and hence no voice to text option. Every topic has a voice channel people can join should they choose. In this channel people who joined can talk to each other.

>>53791
Nothing wrong with posting something of value.

Sometimes I try to visit this site and it will not load. That happened early this morning. It typically happens in the early hours, and eventually loads fine during the day and afternoon hours. Why is that?

>>53810
Thank you for letting me know, much appreciated.

It's the ISP who are having problems routing traffic to the correct location. Indeed strange, as this is pretty much all they have to do.

Anyway we have decided to change ISP at the end of the month. Expect some outage at around the turn of the month. After which depvana will return with improved performance.

Best,

maybe do so no for sure

nice site
have another bump

>>53835
Thanks, much appreciated

The site seems to be down once again, this time throughout the day.

>>53893
Thank you, yeah it's down for the next few days while we relocate and set up routing with the new isp.
See >>53811
cheers

thanks, looking forward to seeing a decent site without all the gay vile spam

keep up the good work looking forward to posting there again

>>53232

Hey everyone, Depvana is back online!

Minor equipment tinkerings still needs to be done, but depvana is back. Best,

>>53988
Awesome.

>>53811
It's fine anon. Websites go down all the time (mostly for maintenance). Most users will be okay with it if you let them know ahead of time.

>>53988
Good to hear anon. Keep us posted here.

It's far better than most startups I have seen so far.

Someone posted a torrent link to the new "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" movie in the tv & movies thread, awesome!

>>54048
Great movie

>>54074
I look forward to watching it this weekend when I have some relatives over. So far it's got some good reviews.

>>54075
Great choice to kick off Halloween!

>>54033
Thanks, encouraging to hear

Quality thread bump.

>>53232
>You don't need Javascript enabled to post

I love it already.

There's some weird icons that show up in the main menu though OP. All the way at the bottom. I don't know what they even though.

One has an atom symbol, but I click it and nothing happens.

>>54111
Thanks anon. They are for theme switching. Each of them represent a different theme. You need JS enabled, since it's js that toggles your chosen theme.

If you have any suggestions for improvement, changes or features you would like to see, don't hold back. Cheers,

>>54111
>>54118
I simply use uMatrix these days. The uMatrix add-on allows JS but only for individual sites you specifically allow it to be used. All third party sites get blocked by default and JS won't work unless you manually allow JS for them too. By default uMatrix will only allow your browser to communicate with first party sites, the ones you visit. You get to see all the other third parties that get blocked.

>>54121
That's actually a good idea I will look into that add-on

>>54130
Yep, speeds up the web browser and gets rid of the cancer you never asked for or clicked on.

Some have asked for the possibility to view posts both in ascending and descending order. This is now implemented, best

Great site so far, thanks OP.

>>54194
Awesome thank you. If you have ideas on how to let more people try out the site let us know

It doesn't work without scripts, so it can get fucked

>>54230
No sites work without script these days. It is what it is

depvana is a rulecucked shithole that deleted my post when i criticized the admin for samefagging to create the illusion of activity

>>54237
Appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback.

Don't know if you actually visited the site or just a Troll. In any case, if you posted something wildly of topic in else’s room the post was probably moved to spam. Create your own topic and post whatever. Btw, your delusions are both unfounded and false.

>>54230
Appreciate you taking the time to give some feedback.

In today's day and age, you cannot create a site with modern features without javascript. That's why every site use it. If you have some specific feature you want to use without script, lets talk about it. However, for any site as a whole, the experience without js will be subpar to other sites offering.

>>54232
True

>>54099
Thanks

Update New Feature based on user feedback

Linking of topics now possible. You can now link a topic into another.

>>54238
it was one of the meta rooms, maybe suggestImprovement, or something similar. it's been a few days
>Btw, your delusions are both unfounded and false.
nigger please.
anyone who has ever interacted with another human being can tell you that much of the activity on that website is samefaggotry or ai-generated.

This is great, I like it

>>54245

Awesome thanks, good to hear

>>54244
>anyone who has ever interacted with another human being can tell you that much of the activity on that website is samefaggotry or ai-generated.

Looks legit to me. Just give it some time to grow and let's see what happens then.

>>54243
Sounds great. Hope to seeing more updates in the future OP

Slow but good quality, like how it keeps the spam away too.

Is there a way I can register anonymously without needing to use my real email account? I'd like to make a public thread or two myself and be able to moderate it, remove unwanted spam.

>>54355
Awesome thanks. Yeah ofc, you don't need to type in email when registering. Only a username and a password. There is no verification.

>>54355
Posting anonymously without logging in is always possible too.

>>54362
Thank you. I hope you do not mind but I started a legal adult webm thread. Trying to post some but there is a 4MB limit. Could that be changed to 5MB in the near future? Many of my files are a little over 4MB. Getting lots of loading issues with the site too (screenshot related).

>>54364
That's fine anything goes. Yes, we will change it to 5MB very soon. If we can find some funding to upgrade the server we will eventually support actual video.

Hopefully the issues should have been resolved by now (one can only hope). If that's not the case pls let us know. Cheers

>>54365
Allowing full length videos might bog down the site and cost a whole lot of money to host if the site becomes even remotely popular. I would stick to what is affordable and what is most convenient, at least for the time being. Hoping to see a 5MB upload limit soon, around have of my webm files won't post with the current 4MB limit. I do believe the site has potential to take off and become as popular as 8chan (beware that is when higher moderation will be needed because typical assholes are bound to come around and try to sabotage it).

>>54364
Just a little update. Since you mentioned your files were just a little over 4MB we have increased limit from 4MB to 4MiB to match the limit of for instance 4chan uploads. Hence If you have webms from 4chan, or places with similar size limit, those should be viable now.

Let us know if this solves the problem? otherwise we will increase the max size even more.

(note, there are some technical considerations why 4Mib is preferred to 5MB related to OS IO block size. Next best thing is 8MiB)

>>54374
Agree. With actual video we were thinking capped at something like 10 min of video. Of cause contingent on better servers where the load would not be a problem.

>>54364
we have made some improvements to the upload of webm. The upload process should be around 8 times faster now. At least in testing. Best,

>>54393
Awesome.

It's gotten better. >>54393

>>54362
That's raly good to hear
>>54374
>Allowing full length videos might bog down the site and
I think there's some hosting options for sites online that let users have unlimited storage space for their websites around the internet. But OP would have to look into that since he may or may not like it. May have to pay more for hosting too.

I see there are a lot more threads being created which is a good sign.

>>54451
>>54479
>>54505
Thanks guys appreciate it

With regards to hosting and delivery options for full length video I believe this is really expensive. Will need donations for that unless some alternative I don't know about exist. There is also a problem with independence. Right now the site is totally independent and we can do whatever people suggest. Many third party solutions comes with terms of services that may not align with the mission. Cheers,

>>54553
Yes better to simply keep it as is. If it works well already don't try fixing it.

Something has been going wrong with many trying to post for a while!

We got gooning on mars before GTA 6

updates

>>54591

Thank you for the heads up. It should be working now. Best,

>>54596
The bugs have been fixed. Lets go!
