Jim-san,
I explain about your concern (
>>402) as below...
In 2ch manner, new server is given its own new name.
For example, when "etc6.2ch.net" server is replaced,
new server is given "etc7.2ch.net" as new server name.
(And old etc6.2ch.net will move to "kakolog" server later)
And some kinds of reason, e.g. server load issue,
some boards are moved between 2ch servers sometimes, e.g.
http://news24.2ch.net/newsplus/ to
http://mamono.2ch.net/newsplus/ Anyway, when the movings, each board URIs of in the server have been changed,
e.g.
http://etc6.2ch.net/dataroom/ to
http://etc7.2ch.net/dataroom/ .
I think you have two concerns,
1) When board URI is changed, do users stray from the board?
2) When server is changed, do users have to make the new threads?
But both are no problem.
I will explain the reason in my next res.
But, I have to take a bath now. Chotto mattete kudasai.
I'm back. I will continue
>>464 .
1) In 2ch manner, each boards are moved to the new URI, each the old URI have
"the moving mark" to the new URI, during the moving operations by Fox-san.
e.g. You can access "Feti" board in bbspink at old URI,
http://wow.bbspink.com/feti/ . It is automatically redirected to
http://pie.bbspink.com/feti/ . So, I believe that when boards in
pie, and sakura0[1-3] will be moved, users will redirect to new URI.
So, you don't have to worry about 1), I think.
2) In 2ch manner, each boards are moved to the new URI, all live threads are
copied into the new bbs, during the moving operation by Fox-san.
So, users can access all live thread in the new URI again, and
I think you don't have to worry about 2), too.
And many users refers "BBS menu in 2ch" to access each boards,
in
http://menu.2ch.net/bbsmenu.html and
http://menu.2ch.net/bbstable.html .
These bbsmenu and bbstable are updated frequently enough, by diligent
2ch volunteer Mahora-san. So, users don't lose their access way.
