Flash will live forever
/f/ will live forever

It is a travesty that this day has come, that the 4chan administration has decided to kill /f/ of all places they could.

But we won't back down. They're wrong about their paranoia, swfs are not unsafe through ruffle especially, but we can still help them.

ITT we organize an effort to revive flash.

We will rebuild the backend for /f/ beyond just the php scripts to build the webpages.

I honestly don't know how far we can get because I can't even think WHY the 4chan team would think swfs are a vulnerability for their infrastructure when the execution is handled by ruffle they serve client side, but we can still make an effort to build the most secure imageboard from every avenue we can find.

/f/ is a small community and not very technically proficient. Admittedly, I myself have done little in the way of webdev and thus we need support from /g/entoomen to help us overcome this ordeal.

I would naturally wait for someone more competent to take up the banner, but in this grave emergency, inaction is impossible.

Possible steps we can take:
>If the execution of flashes somehow happens serverside to some degree or if the Loader requests are indiscriminately answered, we can transfer all the burden client side.
>Since /f/ doesn't even support more than one file, build a version of rust with the Loader and MovieClip's Load APIs neutered
>Build a new verification library for flash, that safely decompresses and analyzes the Tag stream and P-code without executing anything to ensure it's not some other payload made to look like an swf.

Ruffle in general is very secure, so again, I don't even see why the concern is there, but acting antagonistically to the admin team will not help our cause.
