Hello everyone.
I've been here an awfully long time, haven't I? A very, very long time. I first inherited Uboachan way back in 2011, 14 years ago now, and I began carrying forward Sushichan a few years after that. And it's been fun. I got to befriend and even meet some of you. Some became IRL friends. I even dated a few of my imageboard users. If it weren't for these imageboards, I am really not sure where my life would be right now.
But, over time, I changed, as people do. I am a very different person than when I started out here. Very different. And so, it's been kind of hard for me actually, to keep the act going for this long. In a lot of ways I don't really see eye-to-eye with my userbase the way I did in the past. And though I still love visiting, and my position is kind of flattering, I have had the nagging feeling for a long time now that I am not really the right person for the job anymore.
No, I am not really the kind of person anymore, who ought to be running an imageboard. As much as I love these sites and want them to survive, being the owner of two imageboards is in some ways a burden on my current persona. It feels like I have to split myself down the middle, to keep running these sites. And with the way things are going in the world, and in my personal life, I am about to have other problems to worry about.
So, I am passing the torch on Uboachan and Sushichan, just as they came to me in the past. The sites will live on, but I will not be at the helm. That role will go to long-time friend and board user Balthasar, also known as Seagal. I really think that he is the best man for the job. In the coming months, I will be transferring everything to another server under his control. I will stay on as a user and tech consultant, hanging out now and then, and helping with backend issues as Seagal gets the feel of things. And, as the boards' owner, I will retire and move on to other things.
It has been an honor. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for your service, Sei. I'm sorry I'm writing this late, but I hope you see this message.
It's been a pleasure to have come to know you through this site. It's no understatement to say this place shaped me in a lot of ways. And, even though the people come and go, and I don't visit as often, I will always appreciate the time I spent here, the people I've talked with, and the amazing media I was able to discover through this site.
Music related, this is just what happened to be playing in my winamp the moment I came across this.

>>4248What kind of lame ass comeback is that?
>>4249>it could become more dangerous to host an anonymously-writable community forum site as a US citizen after the end of this yearWhat makes you say that? I think those whole USA fascism stuff is totally overblown. Nothing significant will happen.
No.4255
>>4254It has more to do with several laws in the works designed to increase personal liability of site operators for user content that appears on their sites. It could become dangerous for me personally and for the continuity of my imageboards, to host a site where I cannot guarantee with certainty a hasty content moderation process. So partly I am transferring out of the US and out of my ownership to remove such laws from the equation.
No.4256
>>4255Which laws specifically are you talking about? I find it very unlikely that any laws regulating websites would be as stringently enforced as you think they will be.
No.4257
>>4256Not Sei but I do not envy anybody who currently serves small Web 2.0 sites to the UK, half the US and the EU. I would totally understand if she is not fond of implementing ID age verification… for a fucking anonymous imageboard. Same for all the mandated information disclosures.
>no such law will be stringently enforcedConcerning Sei's circumstances, I could see such laws being used as a political punishment. And it is not even like this website as a whole is terribly political.
If you need a list of pending ID verification laws in the US, here is one stolen from veriff dot com:
Alaska (House Bill 254)
Delaware (House Bill 265)
Illinois (House Bill 4247)
Iowa (House File 2546)
Missouri (House Bill 1993)
Ohio (Senate Bill 212 & House Bill 295)
Pennsylvania (Senate Bill 1314 & House Bill 2143)
New Jersey (Assembly Bill A4146)
New York (Senate Bill 6418)
South Dakota (House Bill 1257)
Vermont (House Bill 712)

>>4257It seems most of these laws concern pornographic content. There is almost no serious pornographic content on this site.
No.4259
>>4258Sushi has a /lewd/ board, also it doesn't take much for a government to decide to declare a mostly non-pornographic site pornographic. All they have to do is see that one guy who posts AI slop fighting game character ecchi and bam suddenly real ID is required. I know this from experience having Russian friends whos gov was trigger happy on anything that handled even slight ecchi (safebooru got banned by ru gov). I wouldn't doubt US wouldn't do the same considering its one of the big three superpowers who all have a stick up their ass (US, Rus, and China).
I think Sei has valid reasons to be concerned outside of that considering the US gov has been pushing for deanon-ing the internet slowly but surely. Not to mention trying to remove section 230 which both parties in the US have been trying to do (Dems because "le heckin misinfo on the internet is why we lost and not because we run shitty candidates like Biden instead of Bernie" and republicans because Trump got offended by social media criticizing him, obviously these two examples are hyperbole and there is more to it but it is very much bipartisan and a valid concern for netizens and site owners alike).
