1 year? WOW! Also, about the small wipe. |
Quote |
Hello everyone!
Well, yes, soon after getting the 10000 members, another celebration awaits.
On 2nd october, our incarnation of LAH will be 1 year old! Toddlerkon? lol.
There will be a partial wipe here too.
No no, we won't get everything deleted, just a bit order.
Here is a small list:
- request threads of one-post leechers will be deleted
- request threads without any proper answers will be deleted
- if any, duplicate request threads will be merged
- general threads without answers will be deleted
- still discussing about what to do with expired rapidshare links
if you have anything to add, feel free to give ideas.
No, no deleting of all pictures or wiping no-post accounts.
I see people who joined from the start coming on every day but not posting, sigh
Anyways, 1 year... well...what everything happened?
After the old lah died, I could watch any longer, so I created this LAH.
About a week later, Bastille found out and joined us.
I was afraid the old members wouldn't acknowledge this site as LAH...
After all, I was just a mere member on the old one, and suddenly I am making the forum? As you probably noticed, I do not see myself higher than the other members. Many of them do not even know that I am running this, since its actually nowhere written.
I picked this design to stay true to the old design of lah.
Well of course I modified it a bit. Looking on the old board's screenshots, I recreated the sections as they were, still noticing that some of them aren't needed anymore. Also a bit horrified (Huh? Why didn't I notice that before?) I noticed, that the old forum was using a black rectangle for a logo... geez. But I didn't really want it that way. Of course, I could just take any loli pic and use it as a logo. Though, that might end up with copyright problems, and I wanted something clean, too. So I used that wing you see, to come with the angels theme. I think that orange color is very characteristic for LAH already, and it looks not bad.
To reinforce the logo, I made the forum's "read" and "unread" tags to be that wing, too.
So as I was getting familiar with this board software, I wanted to experiment and give my members the best help and gadgets I could find.
Yeah, there werent many people here, mostly only people we knew.
The average amount of people online was like 1, lol.
The old forum had no attachment mod... geez, what the hell were all those members doing there? I guess offsite linking to images.
So some people we already had posted the link to some other forums.
I had an idea too, and noticed that google still caches several of the old site's pages. I searched out all memberlist pages I could, made a huge mass e-mail and sent it to all I could find.
To tell the truth, I didn't think it would go that well. Today's time is the time of imageboards, futaba, yotsuba and all that. Plain old forums are kinda dying out for this purpose.
Yet, people started coming...
Even without advertisement, people started coming and posting (at least some, lol)
Later, some old friends from the now dead Onii-chan came and joined in.
Also, 4stay came and I got a warning PM from several people at once to "ban him before he destroys the whole site". I was getting curious...
Can this person really be that bad? Apparently he's already banned everywhere else... Well it turned up that he is a talented guy with a bit wicked hate for violence.
And there, not only 4stray, but others, too, complied that the stories section's content isn't appropriate for this site.
I was thinking for a long time, before I changed the rules so that no age descriptions were allowed. It was probably what made 4stray calm down and become a worthwile member, even.
Well, it didn't hold long, and after discussing and thinking some more, I reconsidered my decision. It's all fiction after all... So the story rules were changed back.
After this conflict was solved, we enjoyed a while of peace.
And then it came. That wierd warning that president Bush is closing down all loli sites. Out provider even got a letter from (apparently) the government, saying they should close lah down in the next 90 hours.
They told me sorry. I totally understood. Nobody wants problems with the government.
Was this the end of the short-living LAH already?
No. I remembered what Konoko said to me in the LAH IRC channel, once.
He said he would host LAH anytime if needed. So I thought I will make use of this offer. And so it happened. We ended up on the same server as Renchan.
As Konoko is a friendly and helpful guy, the transfer of the forum went pretty smoothly and about a week later, lah was working back with it's old address. Fhew. That was close, lol
And yet, another danger was approaching.
You see, there were a couple of boards, trying to ruin lah before with the old admins. Well, I don't see where the ruining is, more like being annoying. It involved smilie spamming and stuff.
To a pretty coincidence, right as their attacked, the old admins decided to give up because of some law changes in their country (as far as I heard).
So the old lah died, and of course, these people thought they "killed it".
So when they noticed that we are back, of course they started the uproar again. And started spamming the board. Also, as my security logs confirmed, they were trying to "bruteforce" my account password, and trying to find forum exploits.
The old admins didn't really have tools to fight mass spam.
Of course I installed a heap of security programs, and I always keep the forum up to date. So with the help of our devoted mods, their "attack" was repelled.
Hm, what happened after that. Ah yes, the "Lolikon is getting banned" issue.
Well, despite the name, I don't really have to say much in here. It didn't really affect LAH much, apart from a thread discussing about the law.
The law itself doesn't really affect loli anyway.
Hmm, after that, one of the nice things that happened to the forum, was Azrael's promotion to admin. I felt like I needed someone who can take care of the forum when Im not here. Yes, the MODs do. I gave them more power than usual moderators have, but I guess I needed someone to "back me up". Azrael, well. I guess I talk to him the most, and he is also online the most from the mods. I think he is up to the task.
Well, I think I wrote a bit too much here, eheh.
For the TL;DR crowd: What happened in 1 year of lah. lol.
Anyways, it's time for me to go to sleep.
Feel free to post your impressions with the year.
Yours,
Sat

My story:
A few days before I joined LAH I got a new computer since my old one crashed every 5 minutes (by now my new one does too) and it had only 30 gig of space on it. Since back then I liked loli too I went to loliboards every now and then.
I saw this site advertised at not4chan (the old one), with the text: "LAH IS BACK!"
Since I'm pretty curious I clicked on the link and saw this nice peaceful black theme with an orange wing. I started browsing through the forum and saw all these topics with attachements, I couldn't see them, you had to register for them. But since I don't obviously like registering and then active posting on a hentaiboard I had my doubts wether to join or not. I got distracted and minimalised LAH. Later when I came back I opened firefox and saw LAH again. Thinking wether I won't regret my dicision I joined LAH and introduced myself ( http://www.littleangelshentai.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=115). Back then I was 21 and my English was less good than it is now, since I made two big travels to former countries for some bankingbusiness had to improve the following year.
At first I was very active posting and in seriously need of loli (just to make me feel happy when I'm down, it's too cute not to smile..) because of my computer. So I saved alot of the pictures but didn't post alot of pictures because I hadn't got any. I remembered the cute thread where I posted my first pictures of Chii , the thread has grown so much now, back then it was the first page and not stickied! So it went on quite some months when suddenly I heard had to go to "a former country" (not to say names) for some business. So I was gone for one month I think. I had brought my laptop with me but I couldn't visit LAH there since then everybody there would obviously kill me. And, I used it for some banking business.
When I arrived back I completely had other things on my mind than loli and so this forum too. Back on my normal computer I just went browsing to other forums I joined and played alot of DDR (one of my many hobbies). Then on a certain day I went through the folder "My Pictures" on my computer seeing another map called "My Pictures" and I thought I just did something wrong. I clicked on the map to see another map called "Avaya" (my username) with all that loli in it... I didn't know what I saw but I could appreciate it. It was March and I went browsing through the map (which was quite filled again because of LAH and Not4chan). I remembered LAH and started browsing (but not posting). It went on for like weeks but changed when I got a girlfriend in June (no, she was older than 20! I'm no pedophile).
She disagreed with me seeing loli so I stopped going to LAH everyday.
I was August when I got offered another business trip. I didn't know wether to do it or not since I couldn't bring my girlfriend with me, I choosed to go though. So I went gone for three weeks. With my laptop. There I did go to my loli folders on my computer so I didn't forget about LAH.
Back in October my girlfriend and I had a talk. She allowed me to watch loli as long as it didn't effect my relations with her. Ofcourse it wouldn't so I went to LAH, NOT4CHAN and other loli boards daily. I started to become active again on all of them posting (pictures). And here I am posting my LAH history. Hope it wasn't too personal because I did censor alot.
Congratulations LAH with your one year existence!

May I make a suggestion about the Rapidshare issue?
I suggest PMing those who uploaded the files, and ask them to re-upload, so that newer members could enjoy it, too.

I think another way would be to have a thread where you post expired rapidshare, so that anyone can re-up it.
For my story, I joined this forum quite a while ago, then I gave up on loli and forgot it during a year or so I think, then someday I restarted looking at loli, and fell on that forum again, and found that I had still my account
So now I'm more active, even if I don't have lots of free time.

Everyone should give sat a pat on the back or something for doing this for us.
without him, i doubt LAH would be where it is today.(actually it wouldn't be, i'm sure me and bastile would of tried starting it up, but i don't think we'd would of had the same effect as sat) In my honest opinion, this is the greatest incarnation of it. We have mods that are active, admins that fix problems and watch everything, tools to fight the un-inevtiable trolls.
Congrats LAH, and thank you sat.
