Piwik analytics
We have exploded with traffic recently. It's time to run piwik for a while to visualize whats actually going on. I'm setting it up now. I suppose i'll enable the js plugin too, and I'll have a link to a cookie that lets you opt out. We will be using a combination of nginx logging and js. If you are running NoJS(or any other paranoid thing of choice) please whitelist lainchan. pls. pretty please. Piwik is nothing like Google Analytics. We aren't selling anything, we just want to see whats going on. That being Me, darkengine, and a few other admins. Read up on it here before making any baseless assumptions. We will definitely be setting up some timed destruction of any logs. maybe like 6 months. The whole program runs on our servers only. Nothing goes outside of lainchan. All we know, or care about is what happens in here. We do some stuff like anonymize the last few bytes of the IP's and you can use the "do not track" thing in your web browser.Politics on /cyb/
Can we please delete all politics threads in /cyb/. We have one thread about asylum seekers and another one about Anarcho Socialism, both of them are near the top in the index and both of them are cancerous. I think that unless it is an ideology which ties directly into cyberpunk itself it should be kept to /r/. Trans-humanism, Technocracy and Crypto-anarchism should be allowed because they facilitate conversation about cyberpunk. Just about everything else devolves into /pol/ style bickering where everyone is creating strawmen and getting upset.Unwanted attention
I know this might sound like trolling, but I'm pointing this out because I generally feel this is one of the better chans. The problem is that sometimes the personalities on this site cause some of the headache, for example: HUGE MUMBLE PARTY TONIGHT in burning red text ad nauseum, obnoxious music videos, etc. Having banners displaying IRC rants about how horrible the site or Kalyx is to be *ironic*. Doing things like this is just going to make jinteki and 8chan find more reasons to hate on this site and confirm that the admins are attention whores. Please try to add a bit more subtlety.Archive?
Bigger chans such as 8chan and 4chan all have archives to remember about the good times.The future of /tech/
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy and confusion over the de-listing of /tech/. As one of the new /tech/ mods, I would like to make a statement and clear some of this up.LainTV via mplayer
ran this in terminal:Kalyx cannot into web scale.

Why is /q/ included in /all/? /q/ actually seems to get a significant portion of the posts on lainchan, few of which are actually questions or constructive in any way. I understand the value of having an essentially unmoderated board where users can critique lainchan, but I don't see why it should show up in /all/.
