ohayou hikarins! as you can tell, the site rewrite is live! isn't it great? the dev team put lots of work and lots of love into this project so let's be sure to give them our thanks. in this thread, please report any issues, bugs, comments, questions, or concerns regarding the new site. i will also take the time to highlight some of the major changes and additions since Syrno is a lazy fuck refrained from doing so in the announcement. note that the rules have been updated, so be sure to give them another read. New Additions: - new imageboard software! as stated in the announcement, Hikari3 has changed from using Lynxchan to Koshi, a new imageboard software made in-house. the source code can be found here: https://github.com/hikari3-ch/koshi (that is, once the repo is made public). this in itself comes with many improvements, especially under the hood. i'm just a janny so i'm not qualified to list them all, but i can assure you Koshi is pretty great. - new and improved homepage! the homepage has been updated with a few new features. the new layout includes a new Featured Threads section, which is pretty self explanatory. hand-picked by (usually) Syrno. at the bottom, there is also an Other Threads section, which will randomly select threads from the SFW boards to showcase. 素敵ですね？ - new 2D Ero board! a new board has been added for 2D ero images, aka hentai. please be sure to read the rules. note that posts made on this board do not appear in the Latest Posts or Other Threads section on the homepage. this board has been added in place of the Oekaki board, but don't worry! the ability to create your own masterpieces lives on. i'll talk about this later. - board statistics! https://files.catbox.moe/ewber2.PNG you can now check the board statistics, a panel that shows activity for each board. this can be found through the button directly to the left of the "Submit a Thread" button on the sidebar. - upgraded posting!

This thread is intended to give both hikarin and people from other sites a place to organize or advertise community events. 39chan meetup? Post it here! Kissu movie night? Post it here! Hosting a cross-site game event? Post it here! Anybody is welcome to advertise their event here, but NO other forms of advertising are permitted. You can NOT advertise your SITE, but you CAN advertise a community event ON your site. Ya dig?

Hello everyone! I'm arithefirst, nice to meet you. I'm the new developer at hikari3. I've been working with the staff for about 4 months. If you saw the news post, you will know about the new software we're working on. Here, you can add suggestions and feature requests you'd like to see for the new image board software.

out of curiosity: how did you find this site?

Do you think hikari3 suffers from a pretty bad case of board bloat?

Do you prefer the old site or the new one?

/en/ is the worst and best board

Hello syrno, I know that you have worked with the kissu.moe staff as a partner correct? I love kissu.moe and regularly browse it and post there, but unfortunately there's something quite sad that happened. Well actually it happened a while ago, but I'd like to settle it now. I adore the revelation that is CRBA, but unfortunately I believe there has been a misunderstanding with kissu.moe that led them to believe bad things. I am wondering if you (syrno) could help to resolve this misunderstanding.

Banner Contest Details: hikari3 is currently in need of better banners. We are accepting submissions in this thread. If we like you're banner, we'll put it up Requirements: 1. 600x200 is preferable, but anything works as long as its in that ratio. 2. Should be anime/Japan/otaku culture related in some way. 3. MUST LOOK GOOD!! just generally visually appealing Also, don't make it board specific, these banners are global.

Why does this site link to 39chan? That site is so terrible.
