/meta/ - site discussion

This is a containment thread for meta discussion that doesn't fall into complaints and suggestions. Feel free to tinfoil or talk about the state of the site but try to avoid being too autistic.

If cerbmin needs to hear it, post it here. We occasionally monitor the complaints/suggestions thread as well. Please keep in mind we all have full-time jobs and tending the farm is a passion project. Changes may be slow, but we will prioritize quality over speed. We will do our best, anon!

Lolcow looks all twisted and reversed. How to fix this please? I can’t read anything. Was it fixed for others already? Why the screenshot looks normal when i post it but not to me? What’s the reason and behide this, first time happening.

A nice, cosy, official banner thread to submit your new banners for the benefit and expansion of the website.

Banners must be 300x100

Banners should mention the site directly or indirectly. "lolcow.farm" written, a picture of a cow, etc.

Submitting some OC.

Hello anons, we are the new admin team! We are a team of three taking over for Shaymin.

Our apologies for the delay in introducing ourselves. There were scheduling issues between us and the old admin that made getting access to everything take longer than we wanted, but we are now in a position to work on the site. To begin with, we have removed the raid spam that had been lingering for the past few weeks. As far as introductions go, we are a team of 3 consisting of two devs and a liaison + project manager to keep communication flowing between devs and farmers. We are all farmers with 5+ years on the farms and have volunteered to keep the site up and running. All changes will be announced on the site before they are implemented - currently announcing this via banners is unreliable, so please check this thread for updates.

To clear up some misinformation: we have had access to the admin panel/moderation tools you all know of since the original transfer, and almost all of the old farmhands have stayed on board and have been continuing to moderate during this time. The discord post you have seen screenshots of was poorly worded, and was referring to a lack of access to the site infrastructure (which we now have). The 3-day site outage was due to the server bill not being paid, which should not be a problem in the future. The whole team is actively monitoring for CP to purge as soon as possible. Please continue to report it!

There are many technical issues with lolcow that we have to deal with before we can make progress. This may mean we have to migrate the site to another imageboard platform, in order to ensure the long-term health of the site (and the sanity of the farmhands). If we are going to do this, it will be done some time from now and in collaboration with our users. We will give you a chance to test and feedback on the new platform before we make the change, and it will be done with ample (48 hour minimum) warning.

We are open to any questions you may have. We are looking forward to the future of lolcow, thank you for your patience nonas and may the milk flow. ♥
