SITE REWRITE THREAD Anonymous Moderator 05/21/2025 (Wed) 19:48:42 No. 849 [Reply]
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!

RSS feeds appear to return a bad gateway status code no matter what I do. This sucks, because I don't wanna use dicksword for post feeds. Hopefully this gets fixed!

Community Event Thread (on/off-site) frieren Moderator 12/25/2025 (Thu) 02:21:27 No. 1078 [Reply]
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?

New Software Suggestions arithefirst!!KVmldb Global volunteer 01/20/2025 (Mon) 06:05:54 No. 656 [Reply] [Last]
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.

4taba had this really neat feature where you could reply to posts within that post, implemented as a little box containing the nested replies, and you could enable this type of reply with an email field option akin to sage. I liked it because it helped prevent off-topic posts from risking thread derailment. Hopefully somebody remembers it and knows what I mean, I don't know if I'm describing it very well. I miss that site.

how much do I have to grind to unlock the hentai board?

>>1160 why did 4taba die again? niggy hacked it or something, right?

>>1162 domain provider forced us to close hentai board because lolis, might change providers in the future but idk that's on Syrno

Do you prefer the old site or the new one?

I think the new one looks cooler

Do you think hikari3 suffers from a pretty bad case of board bloat?
>>
>>1141 Are the sidebar or header not enough?

>>1141 No wait, not a clickable board list. I meant something else. I forgot.

It is true that some boards don't really get used, but I don't think they're bloat. Besides /dis/ which is more experimental than anything, /en/, /jp/, t/, are pretty standard for an imageboard. Also the flash and oekaki boards are fun and unique so they gotta stay. /aca/ doesn't get used as much as it should which is unfortunate but i do like having it. Which boards do you think are bloat op?

Kissu misunderstanding CRBAzin!oIROtz7we2 04/28/2026 (Tue) 13:48:15 No. 1103 [Reply]
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.

syrno, if you need to e-mail me, you can reach me at crbaadmin@proton.me. Unfortunately hikari3 doesn't have an e-mail field.
>>
>>1114 maybe contacting the staff on irc.rizon.org#kissu can help clear thing up?
>>
>>1117 Okay, I have just asked on their IRC channel.

>>1118 i hope things will work out well for you

borrowing this thread to share this: https://rentry.co/world2ch I see world2ch has submitted an advert banner on hikari3, so I think syrno-san has the right to know what its administrator is up to recently.

Banner Thread syrno!!zmOAdD Admin 11/25/2023 (Sat) 11:33:38 No. 343 [Reply] [Last]
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.

it turns out that the actuve posters number wasnt a joke what the hell 🫣😵‍💫

>>1108 I believe the active posters stat is the number of unique IPs that have posted on the site total.
>>
>>1109 they sure as hell arent "active", i on my own must have posted from at least 20 different ips throughout the site's lifetime 5 posts lifetime for each "active" poster sounds very low dont you think?
>>
>>1111 Nice post number
