except anon post. And chan-style CYOAs/quests would be a bit awkward to do, although I don't think anybody's doing any of those.
Honestly, this is true. One thing I regret losing from the move from the old software/site to this one is that we lost the ability to allow anonymous users to do...well...pretty much anything at all beyond viewing images and using a blacklist that they'd need to re-customize every so often. Though, given how much better this software is than the old, I hardly regret the move. The old anons are more than welcome to make accounts. No one is after them. :P
In any case, that
is one thing chan-style sites have over us.
I'm not active enough on any chans to have experienced any CYOA stuff, so I can't really comment on that.

The TOR Hypnochan was great but all the other hypno sites refused to allow people to post the link to it, even after they removed the controversial boards. And then it got shut down without any warning.
It had potential to be great, but it made a big mistake in having the /cake/ board. First impressions are all that matter often times. After that initial mistake, it had a social stigma, which made it dangerous to allow links to. Honestly, though, their first mistake was putting it on the darknet. That crap's slow as all hell. I understand the wish for anonymity in things like porn, but the site would never become truly popular if it ran like a snail with a nasty hangover, even if it had no stigma.
It's news to me that it shut down, though.
