What would you guys and gals think of something like a kickstarter

That would never happen, and never work.

I think ur a gay fag who likes dick

I think you are retarded.

No wait, I don't think it, I'm certain

It's simple, actually:
a) Get together an assload of money
b) Offer it to the owner in exchange for the site
How do you think Hiro got it in the first place?

>>430519
Hiro only got it because Moot was actively looking to sell it.

A retarded voterbase is bad

If someone offered you a zillion dollars for a shitty website, wouldn't you make a deal?

That's because they refuse to run ads. We, of course, wouldn't have such scruples.

If we bought this site and it were a proper company with a board and votes are based on shares it would work. This is assuming Hirohito wants to sell the site.

It would be interesting but it would involve people getting together to buy a website that is always in the red and never generates profit.

The donation system is dumb because nobody wants to see some faggot begging for money all the time. Other smaller chans have tried this and it was always a failure since there really isn't any perk you can give someone on an anonymous website to convince NEETs to shell out their limited money and everyone uses an adblocker. Moot refused to advertise porn, like a faggot... that could make a tiny bit more sheckles, but this place is a money pit.

Pic unrelated.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

You're right, 4chan users are known for religiously clicking ads to support the site and NEVER block them.

Fuck off. Mods chosen by users would be absolutely terrible, since most anons are huge newfag faggots who know NOTHING about the site Remember that according to them cuck -> kek was censorship and was designed by evil rebbit to destroy their freedom of speech - would you really let these people choose who's about to rule the site? Also remember this is 4chan, you can expect people to choose funny admins for the memes and end up with the site destroyed for keks. Along with this is the very real possibility of raids. Imagine all the 8gaggers coming for the election and making some cringey gonadgater the admin.

A horrifically bad idea that I hope never comes to fruitition.

>Plus no one would have an excuse for complaining about the mods anymore, since we would essentially be picking them.
Since when do assholes need a logical reason to complain? Letting those same assholes run the place would be an unmitigated disaster.

So, basically you want to bring back /z/?

>>430869
>/z/

With neo-4chan, /8ch/ would be a better word.

There are a number of cryptographic protocols and techniques that can be used to protect the integrity of the vote.

lel

>>430803
They wouldn't be chosen directly I don't think. OP is suggesting we appoint trustees who will THEN appoint moderators like, you know, governments?

None that preserve anonymity. Ochochon is for sale. Go buy that, faggot.

Actually, you're quite wrong on that:

>>430509
You can't buy what's not for sale.

But a site ran by an actual board of members would be better.

>>431392
I'm sure if we could offer enough, hiro would sell it to us, just like the guys who made YouTube sold it to Google.

>>430509
moot/Hiro have been fair autocrats. I'll take them.

>>430509
>that we would elect
Yeah how is things going to work again?

That's not the problem; the problem is our current overlord is effectively asleep at the switch because he doesn't know enough English to know what the fuck is going on down here.
