The Time Has Finally Come.
No longer shall I be shackled to the anonymous ask boxes of other blogs. I've finally dedicated a whole five minutes of energy into making one of these god damned parp blogs. You will know my wrath, or at least recognize my whinging.
Let's fucking do this.
Oh, knowing what we know, knowing we don't know; This is gonna change our world; Feeling how I feel, I'll accept the unreal; If you be my no-eyed girl.
Your March 2nd PARPdate: HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT edition.
Five days ago, Hex threw themselves from bed, candle in hand, with an idea. Four days ago, I received an invite to a chatroom to test if their theory worked. Three days ago, we opened their testbed to select users.
You probably know what happened then, because we opened it to the public to see if she'd survive and suss out any bugs. She did.
MSPARP IS BACK UP!!!!!!!!! CLICK THIS SHIT.
So what happened? So for the longest time we just kinda assumed that Parp was unfixable. Every time Hex took a crack at it, three things broke for every one thing fixed. This was a major reason why we've been slumming it with dreambubble; we considered parp as it stands to be a dead end.
BUT, while tinkering, Hex had an epiphany. They just started ripping shit out instead; no more repairing the old features, just tear the whole of her guts out and put in shiny new ones. Fuck it.
And fuck it they did! To WILD success! Here's full list of stuff with the user-end stuff in BIG BOLD:
removed rabbitmq, celery, and various other dependencies from msparp to make it leaner, easier to build, and easier to run
updated various dependencies to allow msparp to run on python 3.12
reimplemented felt theme
added purple felt theme
added live update of connected / searching in home page
added specific search counts for fandoms, groups, and characters on search page, also updates live
added tailwindcss
added userguide, bbcode, rules, and tos pages, all configurable by Admins
render bbcode in announcements, userguide, bbcode, rules, tos
made keyboard shortcuts work across all inputs on the site
added character soft-deletion for admins
Users can now re-name and add descriptions to saved chats.
fixed email sending and password reset
added ability for users to request their username via email
allowed shift + enter to add a newline to the chat text entry box, and added a button to the right to toggle the behavior, so that enter adds a newline and shift + enter sends instead
moved the buttons below the text entry box on small devices to make it more mobile friendly
clamped how much the text entry box and preview box can vertically expand
added sync of scroll for the textbox to the preview box. if you scroll through a large set of text in your text entry box, then the preview box will scroll to the exact same position. you can scroll the preview independently without it in turn scrolling the text input
Nested search, allowing for users to select Fandom and then Character instead of having to scroll through that big massive hell-list from before
Added Postcanon characters and an HS: Beyond Canon subsection under Homestuck.
Updated the Beforus Beta Trolls ('Pre-Scratch Aradia Megido' is now The 'Rankmaid' for example, and they're all quirked appropriately)
Made this shit run so much better that hex is paying a flat 60$ a month for the server, a I shit you not like 90% decrease from the AWS dogshit we were working with.
Made it so the spamless links given to mods link to Logs rather than the active chats (I'M SO SORRY TO THAT DAVE AND ALPHA BRO FROM EARLIER)
Re-enabled Email server (still kinda buggy)
Added the expanded quirking system from THIS UPDATE
So hey as you can see Hex is a fucking miracle worker. She's running like a dream right now, blinking out only when Hex pushes an update (which is way less frequent now).
KNOWN BUGS:
Desktop notifications are a little fucky right now
Dark Classic Theme is broken
Logging in with the incorrect password will tell you that your account doesn't exist
Sending a message on mobile de-focuses the text entry bar, making you tap it again.
Switching tabs causes timeouts after a while
And some more! We'll find and fix as we go along.
Holy fuck she's back. One more time: HOLY FUCK SHE'S BACK, and barring any horrific complications or catastrophes, she's gonna STAY that way.
And we're not done toying with her, either. This one is from JUST now.
There's always more ideas. And now that things don't just break? Oh Hex is COOKING. They're already seeing how many of the Parp2 ideas they can shove on in there. It's gonna be a fun Hopefully Forever!
Party like it's 2010, everybody! We couldn't have made it here without you!
if you dont disconnect or use filters i am staying in our chat out of sheeeer spite.
Take it a step further and continue greeting them or posting your prompt every time you connect.
I don't even have a caption for this other than I miss sony vegas.
aradia from last year i forgot about
🎶 Cause now the sun's getting closer, closer every day. So dance with me, baby, 'till our flesh all burns away. 🎶
nvm cherubplay is still up false alarm
His Royal Majesty's court has sentenced you to death by firing squad, for acts of treason upon His Royal Domain.
And another another thing...
There is now a 'typing' indicator.
YEEEAAAAHH BABY!!!
This is going to make those 10 minute long staring contests even fucking juicier.
Is this reportable?
Individual was kinda rude /:
Oh absolutely, shoot it our way (or even thought here) if you still have the URL!
I haven't read anything post homestuck but i'm pretty sure this is what canon Jade turns into.
breaking news: local gooner found dead (surrounded by a third of new jersey) RIP "Looking For Somebody To Goon With", IDK what your deal was but your name made me laugh and so did the fact you made mods drop an E-Nuke on New Jersey
my fucking face when he reappeared like two weeks ago from a completely different country
brother did you move just to do this
Are you really questioning if somebody would be willing to move out of New Jersey for literally even the slightest inconvenience?
Why is every single futa Jade a complete degenerate?
Short answer: Furries. There isn't enough time in the world for the long answer.
"DID YOUR LUSUS NEVER TEACH YOU TO ZIP UP?"
Does it ever concern you that you're basically becoming the next thellere? Not in terms of owning MXRP but adapting his mannerisms and behaviours? A lot of people are noticing it.
Elaborate?
Can't stop thinking about this post. The Ghost of MSPARP's past just showed you a picture of Thelle and made absolutely no effort of explaining it. Two more specters will visit you tonight.
LINEBREAK??? YOU MEAN I DON'T HAVE TO [br] ENDLESSLY??
CORRECT!!!!!
I actually kind of like using [br]. Saves me the fear of accidentally hitting Enter instead of Shift+Enter, and can also streamline into quirks for stuff like pesterlog server messages
i dont know anything about coding at all, but even if an "empty" chat without any messages takes up comparatively little space, there are still a LOT of those chats especially over the 7-ish years that mxrp.chat was a thing. like i wouldnt be surprised if 90% of mxrp's server space was dedicated to empty search chats alone.
Oh yeah 100%. I'd put money that at least 95% of parp's storage are just a pile of 2 system message chats, and those group chats that go on or spam system messages for months upon months.
sorry if this has been asked before but are there any plans to delete logs that had zero messages sent like thell did? i have hundreds of pages of "searched" chats and i already know like 80% of them were instant disconnects
That actually hasn't been brought up! But I'll probably end up running a poll on it down the line, if only to save space on the server.
It really just begs the question: How much space does a chat take up?
Like just the foundational, blank template of each "empty" chat. If it's basically nothing then whatever, but I can imagine some fucked up and twisted scenario where like, 75% of a chat's data is just it's existence itself, and then the rest is the messages within.
