/int/ - International

>>8536 I don't think "it's the original KC" (like non of the followers is). But it's just the board that not having blocked half of middle europe, and that's why the only currently usable from the followers (since Kohl's moderation have decided to make the board suck, and .rip is quiet empty).

The people who run this KC seem to value the original KC as it was before Winnenden until 2014 maybe, whereas the people who run kohl seem to base it on oldKC after 2016. I find it quite comfy here. Welcome home, Bernd.

>>8541 >empty

>>8545 You also have a lot of pretty bad schizos over there. The Italian who harassed me and then suddenly stopped (did he become an hero?), the Swiss guy bumping his doxxing thread every day... if that's 50% of your user base, that's really bad. I haven't seen you on the IRC in a while. If you join, make sure to stay online long enough to see other people's replies though.

>>8549 >The Italian who harassed me Only I should get harassed, please I will remove any post from him if he ever did that again. >Swiss guy bumping his doxxing thread every day That’s a doxxing thread? I thought that was just some politician, I guess I will finally clean up there then. >I haven't seen you on the IRC in a while I haven’t been on there in a while, I will be there tomorrow afternoon (Texas time)

>>8552 You shouldn't get harassed either by the way. Also, the Swiss guy is just some guy. >afternoon (Texas time) That's probably around my bedtime, but that's okay.

Imagine using an image board in 2025

>>8536 It feels comfy. And apparently lots of old bernds who did not participate in the intervening boards have somehow begun to found their way here.

>>8561 Couldn't be me.

It doesn't feel like original KC at all. But it's fine for what it is (not schizo-pedo-nigor Kohl)

>>8543 >whereas the people who run kohl seem to base it on oldKC after 2016 The current moderation at kohl is totaly insane. And as insane as the oldKC never had been, neither before 2014 nor after 2016. Constantly can not use the board (not post) for weeks or month because of kohls gaga-mod's insane range bans, that always block hundreds of people. Against one even then can not make appeals since that gaga-mod is setting these bans for all.png boards, so one is blocked from the the /admin-board too. But the admin/Helmut seems to wanna have it this way, because these gaga-mod's activities are well known (as other kohl-mods already have confirmed more than once), what is then nothing less than the message, that Helmut gives a shit about the users of his board.

>>8566 You're right, the schizo admin comes on top. But just how 4chins /b/, old KC became enriched with porn and politics. If you look at Kohl, that's a much higher percentage than new KC.

>>8575 >became enriched with porn and politics Have no problem with that (in general). It then depends more on the how and it's quality level. That had been definitly higher in the past than on current kohl.

>>8577 It's the natural course of things though. High quality porn or specific fetishes degrade into low-quality porn dumps no one even carefully looks at.

>>8578 Addendum: and for some reason, tranny porn. Just look at 4ch/b/. It used to have memes and debates. Now it's just tits and dicks.

>>8579 It is basically /soc/ now. The specific hobby boards are the only things that 4kanal is good for but even those declined hard.

>>8575 You really need to accept the fact that geopolitics has always been a big part of the serious discussion on /int/. It's becoming more and more clear to me that you seem to be mainly from old /b/. Either that or you just recently moved here, as I don't remember you at all. There was the Bosnian wizard, Naziswiss, Slightly-less-NaziSwiss, the loathsome bitch cunt from Bern and me. I am all for toning down the politics here as I'm tired of the culture war as well, but let's not pretend that it wasn't part and parcel of old /int/.

>>8608 >It's becoming more and more clear to me that you seem to be mainly from old /b/. That's quite accurate. Mainly /b/, a lot of /c/ and later /prog/, /jp/ and /m/ (or was it /mu/?) I wouldn't mind geopolitics, tbh, if it doesn't imply culture war, or even worse, US politics (which seems to be the core of most culture wars). Once /b/ gains more traction, I'll go back there, promised. But at the moment, it's just too boring. A bit of nostalgia, some bitching how bad the board is and that's about it.

>>8611 I don't mind you staying as long as you behave and don't try to bully veterans like RAC-Bernd off the board. It's rather presumptuous as you are, essentially, a newfriend.

>>8543 pretty much this

>>8614 To be fair, I would've bullied RAC Bernd 15 years ago all the same.

>>8620 15 years ago you would've been chased off the board for being the soyguzzling, underaged faggot you are. Lucky for you, Bernds have grown more tender hearted.

>>8625 15 years ago, I was already overaged. But I did start out on KC as an underagefag

this is more akin to when the roman empire went down and they made ERE which sucked ass so westerners made HRE

It's not exactly old KC but having an /int/ that is not run by pedos and Russian assets is a good start. It would be nice if the IRC was the original one but it's a good sign that there's an IRC at all.

>>8561 (((you))) can't teach an old dog new tricks fren

some Bernd mentioned it to me yesterday so monitoring what's going on here

damn, for a small slow board you guys posted a lot

It's obviously not, and anyone saying otherwise is coping, but that doesn't mean it can't be our new home.

>>8678 >having an /int/ that is not run by pedos and Russian assets is a good start. This. >>8764 And this.

Any casey ersatz that's neither that awful krautchan.rip software nor the pedo "muh freedom of speech" admins from nuKC, nor also the no fun allowed ernstpies is good.

>>8803 Which nuKC do you mean?

>>8804 There's only one, what a weird question.

>>8803 Ernst was good. RIP Ernst. ;_; NuKC schizo refuggers, Waldemars and passive moderation killed it. ;_;

>>8806 Ernst has been quiet dead for a few months now, I remember it being slightly more active. What happened?

>>8806 Ernst was for lamers.

Some conditions to make this KC² not suck: -Don't ban cyrillic shitstorms : having the lesser educated dvach dwellers was amusing when they brought their broken runglish outside of the cyrillic threads -Ban and gas pedos if they spam and their threads are debile -Ban resident schizos from nuKC immediately. Don't allow any resident schizo to take hold in here. Definition of a resident schizo : * Incoherent, word salad messages (igor, that canadian guy, the australian) * Disgusting monster who spams particularly gruesome content about his life (the diogenes one, audrius) Not bannable: funny attention whores like nordamerikano was. -Don't ban or move porn threads, including tranner ones, it was allowed on old KC and could lead to amusing conversations t. KC sovl expert

>>8808 Happened 2 years ago I think, and literally what I said afaik happened, not that I know much of the behind-the-scenes stuff. NuKC also hosts or hosted a "NuErnst".

>>8808 Pressumably the same like here: kohlfugees.

>>8811 P*rn should be under spoiler imo.

>>8811 >-Ban and gas pedos if they spam and their threads are debile >-Ban resident schizos from nuKC immediately. Don't allow any resident schizo to take hold in here. YESSSSSSSS! Fronce, I love you!

Oh and I forgot the MOST important: - Ban Tor/proxy/onions -> Require any user wanting to post from these to get an equivalent of old komturcode by justifying it on irc with admins

>>8816 What is with IPs from NGOs and gov agencies?

>>8821 Idk if there's any chance to detect them, also why worry, Bernd? They can come here and funpost, there's nothing to hide without the pedoshit

>>8821 Let them lurk at work. This Bernd does the same.

>>8821 Let's give them a special glowie ball so everyone knows they're always lying :3

>>8811 >>8815 i agree

>>8821 >NGOs and gov agencies

>>9075 Also,

The austrian vatnik on Kohl has the same ISP as me and he got me juicy ban until Dec 3. R8.

>what exactly in your opinion makes it the original kc? nothing, but there is no pedospam which makes it closer to the original /int/ i just wish there were more assburgers here like in good ol' times

>>8678 you are welcome to enrich and join the IRC.

>>8803 I think that's the most accurate description of the mentality here.

>>8811 >-Don't ban cyrillic shitstorms : having the lesser educated dvach dwellers was amusing when they brought their broken runglish outside of the cyrillic threads The problem is that less educated dvach dwellers propably don't know how to enter banned sites. I guess this site is too banned for russian users.

>>8811 >-Don't ban or move porn threads, including tranner ones, it was allowed on old KC and could lead to amusing conversations I don't support this. One tranny porn thread should be ok but when I visited Kohl /int/ it was at some times spammed with, especially made by brazilians, tranny thread.

>>8812 >not that I know much of the behind-the-scenes stuff. I wasn't active at this time too but it was said some shizo took over mod/admin powers on Ernst and the board turned into shit so Helmut made up a new Ernstchan for the refugees.

>>9083 True dat. The they even made an own tranny int board cause int was so flooded with tranny porn at times.

>>9083 Brazilians probably need to be kept on a short leash in general.

>>9103 Correct.

>>9103 Brazilians are even worse than finns during their prime time.

>>9103 True.

>>8806 I liked the original one, which I browsed when oldKC was offline and right after it went down for good. XYZ always seemed off to me. Shame edgelords had to ruin it for everyone else.

>>8816 Komturcodes caused a lot of bureaucracy for admins but they never got to implementing a version of the system that mods could use. Presumably privacy concerns (mods could see IPs but not much more, especially not whether someone was using a Komturcode). But in practice, apart from being unobtainable when the admins had times of low motivation, they were pretty good. I don't hate kohlcash but it's kind of broken, since I can trivially evade bans by generating a code in two minutes using john with the cuda backend and then hop on an onion. It's only useful because the Kohl administration has never pissed off anyone with actual skills or resources. A combination of the old KC proxy scanner (blacklists, scrapers + heuristics) with kohlcash could be good. There were a lot of false positives when people posted from hotels abroad.

>>9178 Are you an old mod?

>>9179 I know some things and have been around for a while. Anything specific you're interested in? I also have a rant on what I think kohlchan specifically could do to improve the place, some of which is architecture stuff that could apply here as well.

>>9180 I'm not an admin, so maybe the people running the site can ask these question or you chat on the IRC about the architecture. I'm mainly just curious who lurks here. I hadn't lurked for several years and when I came back, KC died and Kohlchan was there. I was devastated by what a shit place Kohlchan was (and still is). But if you have some stories to share about the end of old KC, I'm happy to hear them. That's the part of KC history I didn't witness myself. I also lost touch with most old Bernds from back then.

>>9181 >end of old KC Domain died for never-really-explained reasons (registrar fuckup of some sort) and everybody who could've fixed it or run a successor thought "well, maybe I'm just too old for this shit and I want to do other things with my life". Far as I know, nobody from the old team made it to any of the successors, except maybe on the German-speaking parts.

>>9182 So they just turned off the servers? Did they neglect the board in the years before that as well? Sounds like they didn't really care anymore.

>>9183 > they just turned off the servers The server was fine, the domain was gone. It would've require a domain migration, including cloudflare setup and whatnot. > Did they neglect the board in the years before that as well Pretty much. At least on the software side.

>>9184 Sad, but since I did the same by not lurking, I can't really blame them.

>>9182 From what I heard it was Escortbernd suing the site after he got doxxed. Dergeneral just said "I am too old for this shit" and thats it. Its also plausible why it was so sudden and discrete. Its always like that when da police is involved.

>>9188 First time I hear that. There are lots of stories like that though.

>>8552 Ah, so you're the mod.

Here's his comment from IRC

>>9255 Also, can't remember what thread it was someone was asking about Wojak.

lol this board has a fucking Turing-vollständig wordfilter just like it was on the real kc

>>9330 back there it was /b/ specific I'm pretty sure

>>9183 /int/, at least, was pretty neglected for the last year or two of KC's existence. If I recall correctly we didn't even get Christmasballs for 2017.

>>9116 Vanitas. ;_;

>>9078 >R8. sad/10

>>9178 >old KC proxy scanner (blacklists, scrapers + heuristics) I always wanted to know the specifics of how it worked. It was really good, a bit trigger-happy maybe but better safe than sorry.

>>9371 bretty good album tbh

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9C9uatPHtss

>>9373 pretty much what I wrote there used to be (probably still are) blogs publishing open proxies and you could just scrape those heuristics were like "browser language ru but country bg. suspicious..."
