ohayou hikarins! as you can tell, the site rewrite is live! isn't it great? the dev team put lots of work and lots of love into this project so let's be sure to give them our thanks. in this thread, please report any issues, bugs, comments, questions, or concerns regarding the new site. i will also take the time to highlight some of the major changes and additions since Syrno is a lazy fuck refrained from doing so in the announcement. 
note that the rules have been updated, so be sure to give them another read.
New Additions:
- new imageboard software!
as stated in the announcement, Hikari3 has changed from using Lynxchan to Koshi, a new imageboard software made in-house. the source code can be found here: https://github.com/hikari3-ch/koshi (that is, once the repo is made public). this in itself comes with many improvements, especially under the hood. i'm just a janny so i'm not qualified to list them all, but i can assure you Koshi is pretty great.
- new and improved homepage!
the homepage has been updated with a few new features. the new layout includes a new Featured Threads section, which is pretty self explanatory. hand-picked by (usually) Syrno. at the bottom, there is also an Other Threads section, which will randomly select threads from the SFW boards to showcase. 素敵ですね？
- new 2D Ero board!
a new board has been added for 2D ero images, aka hentai. please be sure to read the rules. note that posts made on this board do not appear in the Latest Posts or Other Threads section on the homepage. this board has been added in place of the Oekaki board, but don't worry! the ability to create your own masterpieces lives on. i'll talk about this later.
- board statistics!

you can now check the board statistics, a panel that shows activity for each board. this can be found through the button directly to the left of the "Submit a Thread" button on the sidebar.
- upgraded posting!

there are a few new options and QOL improvements in the posting menu. for one, you can now make new posts from the bottom of the thread. the quick reply panel also now has the emote dropdown menu for your convenience. the "Submit a Thread" button at the top of the sidebar will bring you to a new thread page where you can more elaborately create threads. using either the new thread page or the reply section at the bottom of the thread gives you the option to embed YouTube videos, create polls, and draw your own images! oekaki reborn on every board!
- new CSS themes!
there are some new CSS themes to spice up your browsing experience beyond the standard hikari3 color palette. feel free to check them out! i personally am using Catppuccin Macchiato.
beyond this, there are other new features and changes for you to discover. we hope you enjoy the new site! happy posting. 
Current site layout really reminds me of ichan.net back in my day. Or was it .org?

Do you mean iichan? It was a .net I think.

Howdy. I would like to update you guys on some recent changes to the site on behalf of Syrno and Co. New Boards /aca/ - Academic Topics has been relisted after 2 years! Use this board to discuss academic topics such as science, mathematics, art, culture, history, literature, etc, but please be mindful of Rule 7. If your post is political but related to the thread topic it may be allowed, but tread carefully. /dis/ - Discussion is a new textboard intended for longer, more serious discussion. Shitposting will likely be removed to maintain board intention. Discuss in length, vent your worries, but keep it cordial! New Themes There are a handful of new themes to try out, inspired by other sites and boards. Ayashii, Hachune Dark, Wapanese, Bird, and Bird Dark. Give em a try! Also, there is an option to disable the festive CSS under the "Other" tab in site settings if you aren't feeling festive. Beyond that, we are looking to host a Hikarismas GOG/Steam key giveaway for all the good little hikarins so keep an eye out for that as Christmas approaches. Thank you for your continued support!
theyre already friends with wapchan but it fits with h3 more than wap (imo)
