I've been able to restore 14 banners from the previous /azu/ iterations.
Which, for reference, were:
>1. www.chiyochan.net/azu/ (2006–2008)
>2. www.wakachan.org/azu/ (2009–2015)
>3. ib.axypb.net/azu/ (2016–2023)

1120 threads posted between 2005–15, a few hundred full-sized images, and a few thousand thumbnails, are now all backed up & browsable here:
https://azu.nfshost.com/archive/There's now a link to this /archive/ "board" at the top and bottom of index pages too. More coming soon!

>>28>>30The domain was set to expire soon, plus the webmaster had been absent for multiple years before that, but it got raided/spammed by another board and the webhost shut it down in March. Many people moved to Ralen's Discord server around then, which was set up as a backup in case the board ever went down.

Fixed, should be working now.

>>79Thanks! I took them from the "guestbook" page of an old Japanese Yotsuba&!-focused website and cleaned them up a bit. Feel free to suggest other (low-key) features or additions.

The verification has been changed to hCaptcha in effort to curb some of the automated spam. Some new known-malicious IP blocklists have been loaded in too.
Eventually I'd like to replace this with a QuestyCaptcha (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuestyCaptcha) which should make things a lot easier and won't be relying on a third-party solution either... would just have to create the implementation myself first.

I got told site ownership changed recently, who owns this website now?

>>709Me. :^)
I guess technically it changed ownership, sure, but more like it's just a different site built from the ground-up after the old one went down due to domain expiry & bot spam. But I wanted to (try to) retain some sort of community here in an imageboard format which I much prefer to a Discord server. Unfortunately 99% of posts from the old site weren't able to get backed up in any capacity (previous iterations/domains before that though are available).

>>745Oh I thought THIS site changed ownership and you had stepped down, nevermind then :D
