what's the current maximum that the catalog can hold?

The /mlpol/ board is set to 15 threads per page, and a limit of 12 pages. Every other board is also set to 15 threads per page, but with a sitewide page limit that is much higher: 1500 pages

Something of a **newfag** question, but what's this weird shit with links? I went to share a link that was posted here somewhere else by copying the link and it added some intro to it,directly posting to show it:
https://href.li/?https://www.ted.com/talks/joseph_redmon_how_a_computer_learns_to_recognize_objects_instantly
That href.li thing, what is that?
If you're intending to block referrals and that's what it is supposed to do, since this is vichan it should work just like on 8chan: put a wordfilter in board settings on the colon.

Wordfilter : to :
Since the markup on this vichan seems to be different from the version of vichan 8chan uses I'm not 100% if it will work right in this software, but the italicization would be enough to make links unclickable and thus force the referral-less copying and pasting method to open a link.

Yes, the href.li was there to hide the http referrer so site you are visiting wouldn't know that you visited them from here. We have switched to using the HTML5 attribute noreferrer https://caniuse.com/rel-noreferrer as it now has 94.42% support rate among all users (98.14% among desktop) and should give same functionality without the use of 3rd party site. We will keep looking at solutions making it safe and comfy for users to use the site.

If it was bumplocked, I'm sure it had nothing to do with it being bombarded with shitty memes that eliminated legitimate discussion, or the recent influx of Yang memes invading other threads

It was meant to promote board activity; like the similar threads on the other slower boards.

The underlying point of the thread was to encourage users to post to /qa/ more often, which is good for the board and the community as a whole.
And it was definitely more productive than the catbane post.

/qa/ was never intended to be an active board. It is here so that anons who have issues that need to brought up to staff and moderators can do so. If you have an issue with participation and content, take it up on the mainboard with the posters.

>remaking the exact same thread after being told it was deleted because it was off-topic
I specifically made sure to change the wording of the thread to ensure it included a definitive issue about the board and opened a topic for conversation. After it was deleted a second time, this time with a ghost of an explation, I did not see it fit to make it again. Since the thread was deleted without the staff in question saying why it was deleted or what particular rule it broke, I, who had no real information from my standpoint, I figured the thread would be compliant with the rules if I changed the wording to make it more appropriate, but that was later revealed to not be the case.
As for the intent of the thread, it was just a casual attempt to increase user participation on the board, since the similar threads on /cyb/, /sp/, and /a/ seemed to bolster posting on those boards in the slightest bit. Since it worked on the other threads, I thought it would do the same here, since community participation is actually a topic I consider to really be important. If such a thread is against restrictions, then I'm glad to comply.

Awhile ago on 8ch someone made a post describing a level system in psychology. It was a scale of 4 or 5 where 1 is typical normies and NPCs 2 is mental illness and I can't remember the others. Does anyone know what I might be talking about?

Either type Dice xdy in the Email field, where x is the number of dice you want to roll and y is the number of sides to each dice, or type [xdy] in the comment.

For example: [1d20 = 12]

I think I missed reading the reason for my warning. It was because it was spoiler, right? That's the only thing I can come up with that makes sense. It didn't think about that because I basically don't care about the current show but I can accept that.

But it was for that reason, right? I just wanna know.

Assuming you did the Pinkie Pie does a thing with another pony thread, yes. That's precisely why. I know plenty of you faggots have watched the leaked episodes, but some of us haven't and rather enjoy experiencing the new episodes - especially with the series concluding - during the premiere along with anons. This is not a staff/site policy, its a matter of decorum. If you want to press the issue, I'll happily address it the next time the series is coming to an end and faggots want to spoil it for everyone.

1. will MLPOL.net ever have a /meta/ board or is /qa/ meant to serve that purpose?

2. what are the chances we can get a /co/ board for discussing western 2D since we have an /a/ board for discussing eastern 2D?

3. if we ever get a /tv/ then how would we resolve whether cartoons belong in /co/ or /tv/ ?

4. will we ever get a /draw/ specifically for drawthreads/requests?

5. can we get a /tg/ board where we talk about how to adapt ponies into various systems like GURPS or D20?

1. Yes, /qa/ is the meta board.
2-4.
5. /vx/ is the board for that. It’s not expressly in the name, but it’s a /v/ board, /x/ board, and /tg/ board all in one. Also there’s a dice function site-wide allowing anons to roll values.
There’s two methods. In the email field type “dice xdy (with any modifiers). The second is in the comment section in []’s type xdy, again with modifiers. The red result is the e-mail field, and both rolls are 1d20+5.
[1d20+5 = 19]

As you can see the email field doesn’t add the modifier so much as indicate it (it’s a 15), and over time it’s been observed that the email field dice are (((stingy))). Enjoy!

I was checking out https://mlpol.net/policy.html and "Rules for Users" and there are 11 rules numbered from 3 to 13...

Where exactly are rules 1 and 2?
Anonymous
No.4912
>>4911
Rules 1 and 2 were just as with 4chan.
Do not talk about, and do not talk about, /mlpol/. Since going off-site however, rules 1 and 2 have been stricken, as our method and mode of operation must necessarily change in order to ensure a future for white ponies. Hence, it is no longer a rule to not talk about /mlpol/. It is assumed that users won't be retarded about it - discretion is always a plus - but attracting users to the site necessitates mentioning it.

I run an imageboard myself (vichan rather than NPF) and it's got that multiupload bug where if you upload a .jpg and then other formats it generates a thumbnail for the other formats but doesn't add them to /src/, have you guys ever run into this problem and if so how did you fix it? I've seen it on a couple other sites besides mine as well.

Why does the notices bit under the reply box never get updated? We've gotten a few new boards since then (if you count /cyb/ being reinstated), and I feel like it's a good way to keep the community informed about changes to the site.
