== About 2d4chan ==
'''BREAKING NEWS''': I've started one of [http://boards.4chan.org/tg/res/16874160 my sort-of-traditional 1d4chan threads on /tg/]. This is a thing I do from time to time to remind the people there that it exists and offer the opportunity to anonymously comment on or inquire about the wiki. As is also traditional, it's getting basically no interest, and it will probably sink to the depths of the board and die, gasping for attention that will never come. But if you're reading this and you fancy engaging in some discussion about our glorious wiki, why not [http://boards.4chan.org/tg/res/16874160 click on over] and make rude comments about my sexual preferences. I'll be keeping an eye on it for the next couple of hours at least. --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] 23:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
2d4chan is a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to [[Tg|/tg/]] (the "traditional games" board of [[4chan]]), including articles on [[fa/tg/uy]] culture, [[meme]]s particular to (or at least commonly used on) /tg/, games and systems played by its browsers, interesting [[fluff]] thereof, and [[:Category:Stories|writefaggotry]] posted to the board.
 
If you were paying attention a couple of hours ago, you might have noticed we vanished from the internet for maybe twenty minutes. Fortunately, that's a perfectly normal consequence of site upgrades. For those interested, I have upgraded the host machine slightly, mostly because the shinier package has a larger bandwidth allowance and we've consistently been going over the previous limit by 100-150GB/month, but there may be some incidental performance improvements as a side effect.
 
A much more significant change to some of our users is that I have attempted to disable hotlinking to images hosted on the wiki. I don't run the logging systems required to track this accurately, but I have observed at least that many people who post about the wiki on their forums and suchlike have a tendency to hotlink images, which is of course very bad netiquette, and those people should feel bad. Right now all the server does is return 403 to such attempts to access the images from other sites, but I might change that to redirect to a different image. For anyone who wants to share our images with the wider world, consider just linking to the appropriate page on the wiki or uploading it to one of the many free imagehosting sites on the web and using that.
 
At any rate, keep on keeping on! --[[User:Wikifag|Wikifag]] 23:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
