4CHAN CRISIS THREAD

GO TO THIS POLL TO VOTE ON WHICH BOARD YOU WANT TAKEN DOWN

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/146P0mxkhbdJRGbcd5ErGeCQQMLAX5MZF7x0eSFiYons

who even uses 4chan for porn?
I certainly don't, except for the occasional visit the sadpanda thread on /a/
who are the people who browse the porn boards?
why don't they just go to dedicated porn websites with 30 minute videos with sound?
there's a million of them
why don't those who like hentai and ecchi images just go to booru sites or exhentai?
4chan would be a terrible way to get porn, because you're reliant on another person posting it, there is no permanent file hosting here, which there is on other websites
I can't imagine there's any discussion going on on those boards
it's probably just a bunch of people posting images and a bunch of other people screaming SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE over and over again
porn produces no culture
porn produces no fraternity
porn has no value

Finally we're getting rid of /pol/. Better late than never. Thank you Hiro!

REMOVE THE GODDAMN ARCHIVE

and /soc/ because fuck off

Reposting so Hiro can see this:
You've been getting more traffic because of new people coming in thank's to /pol/'s antics. The only reasonable response to reduce traffic by almost a quarter is to delete /pol/. Ignore the cries for keeping /pol/, they're a liability as a board and you as this website's admin have the final say in all this. /pol/ is costing you money by maxing out your website traffic and potentially scaring away new advertisers due to their reputation. Remove /pol/ and you solve both of those problems overnight. You do not need /pol/ as part of 4chan. /pol/ wasn't even a part of 4chan until the pre-alt-right stormfronters complained about /news/ getting shut down.

Also, consider putting a post limitation per unique IP. Only people with 4chan Passes should be allowed to post more than 10 times per hour or so since they paid money for the privilege. That will encourage a lot more users to buy a 4chan Pass and further drive down traffic to a much more manageable level.

And consider deleting /f/, /r/, /wsg/, /gif/, and all the porn boards. With those gone, you should see a significant drop in bandwidth usage. Going text-only with certain slower boards will also help.

From moot's farewell news post:
>I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide 4chan with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team 4chan is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years.

>get rid of the archives
They are literally useless, there are plenty of third party sites that already archive everything themselves. It's a massive drain for something that serves very little purpose. You wouldn't need to make any changes if you simply got rid of it

Just ban the porn boards.
Objectively, porn does nothing for anybody.
At its bets, it's a huge time waster.
At its worst, it destroys civilization.

I'd be very interested to see a breakdown of which boards use the most bandwidth so we can actually have this conversation with some data to back it up.

Also,I literally frequented 4chan in the beginning for porn. I think you're undervaluing it's attraction for normies, if you want the site to live.

I think the best question here is how do we remove hiro from 4chan? He clearly has no idea what this site is about and why it is the way it is. Why won't moot take it back ; ;

I'm completely serious that Hiro should delete /pol/

All it did was attract retards here and heavily increase site traffic to absolutely no discussion benefit. /pol/'s become so big that it regularly spills out into other boards. A purge of the board would force many of its users to go back to where ever they originally came from, and the rest could be convinced to find new home chans with heavier moderation for a few weeks following the removal

/soc/ needs to go too

Hentai should stay (even though i rarely use that). 3d should definitely go.

>>711693
I used to like /asp/, but now it's just for that stupid sport.
/asp/ is supposed to be for people who DO sports, not for people who follow celebrities on TV. As it is now, DELETE /asp/.
Replace it with a board for physical activities, including not only sports, but also acting and other stuff I can't think of. Perhaps even merge origami into it.

/lgbt/ is more of a support group, completely different from /soc/. There has been some /lgbt/-like threads on /r9k/, /r9k and /lgbt/ would be a better fit.

Will repeat it again, archives are useful if you need to do something else for a while but want to see how the thread ended up when you leave. Shorten their duration, but don't remove.

Delete /b/
It's a useless board, even moreso than /pol/
Or maybe make it sfw and increase post timer so things can actually be done there

That would defeat the point. Most of the bandwith will be coming from people who view threads that just died or died the previous day.

For it to have an effect it needs to be removed entirely. We have third party archives already.

We will see mass suicide in our lifetime if 4chan dies.

>Why yes I use 4chan's native archive

>>711759
What makes you think there would be less images downloaded/uploaded?
Assuming people don't leave because the new board sucks, the traffic would stay the same.
Less storage needed, maybe, but not bandwidth.

If anything, having hyper-active boards would just cause generals to drop off more frequently (when they otherwise could have just been kept alive with the occasional bump at slow hours), causing them to have to be recreated (with an image upload) more often and thus increasing bandwith usage.

>>711623
>I can't imagine there's any discussion going on on those boards
because they like to ban you for using too many words in your post and talking about things rather than spamming image dumps
>it's probably just a bunch of people posting images and a bunch of other people screaming SAUCE SAUCE SAUCE over and over again
that's more the 3d boards like /gif/ and /hc/ than anything else

Really I'm just advocating the continued existent of /d/ and /trash/ because the text:image ratio on those places is a good bit higher than any of the other porn boards.

Increase wait time between making posts on high traffic boards such as /b/ and /pol/ or simply increase the wait time across the board

Get rid of archive, people can use Archive.is or people will make their own archiving sites if they feel the need to do it

hiro could reduce server costs by using a more performant platform: >>>/g/56886405
companies who have switched to Go have seen up to 90% costs reduction. why? because the language is VERY performant and manages resources very well.

moving to php7 would also be "good enough" to reduce some costs.

Lets reduce some waste. Disregarding their current state, there are three types of boards.

Essentials, which means they cover an always relevant and on-going topic, which always guartantees discussion, like /a/, /v/, /co/, /g/, /ic/ and /tv/.

Then there are necessary boards, which may not be essential for discussion but have a role to keep the machine going, like /trash/ and /qa/.

Then there are redundant boards like /vp/ and /mlp/, also boards which lost their original purpose like /r9k/.

Lets face it, some boards have become save spaces for minor groups and others practically death, they are nothing more than waste, killing them may make more room for less drastic decisions.

The purpose of this is to DECREASE bandwidth. Shuffling around fuckers from one place to another is going to do the exact opposite as they search around, hoping to find a place to slide in. Outright removal won't do much without backlash which, again, would just increase traffic.

The only solution is to do another /fur/.

Pass is a problem because there's no anonymous way to pay. Most of us come to 4chan because we want to interact anonymously, and you're asking for solid, non-deniable identifying information, connected to an account associated with each post we make.

On top of that, you're using capchas in an excessive, unnecessary, punitive fashion, making us do work for Google in order to be allowed to post... unless we buy a pass. So there's an element of extortion which we're naturally resistant to. On top of that is the intolerable presence of that Google bug on every page when we post, inviting that surveillance monster into our discussions. We don't want to reward your bad behavior.

The advertising here is unacceptable. You run incest-themed onahole ads on "worksafe" boards.

I've tried advertising here, and it was very low value relative to the price, due to selling based on pageviews at fairly standard rates for what you'd expect on, for instance, a web comic, but when there's a ridiculously high pageview:unique ratio.

In that situation, what ends up being advertised is impulse-buy garbage with a 2000% markup, just fishing for idiots with self-control problems, and nobody wants to look at such hostile and disrespectful ads, aimed at our weak moments. So adblockers go on and stay on.

We generally want 4chan to survive, most of us have a few bucks to kick in, and it's such a big community that many of us have skills and businesses to contribute. There are any number of ways to make money on 4chan, like selling game bundles: a 70:30 split in favor of 4chan would be acceptable to people who are primarily interested in supporting 4chan, and attractive to indie devs who know their sales will be inflated by people wishing to give money to 4chan. Run a bundle once a month, you might be surprised how many people come up with $5 or $10.

That's just an example. You have to think of it as giving us a fun way to help you, not as squeezing money out of us.

>Free speech != hate speech

Wouldn't just removing on-site archives be the biggest help you could get? Pretty much every board has some other website doing it for them, why bother keeping threads up for any longer than a few hours after they're deleted? Instead threads feel like they stay up for days or weeks at a time.

>>712048
you know it was a 4chan may may first?

Why do people want to delete boards so bad. I know it will reduce cost, but that's only half the issue. There needs to be a way to make 4chan more profitable and alienating part of the user base will only make that more difficult. Not to mention, 4chan is a discussion forum and deleting boards as soon as we need to start making cuts is like a runner cutting of his legs to lose weight. 4chan isn't anything if people can't discuss what they want. Even on certain porn boards there exists a community that contributes beyond image sharing. You can go to any hentai website to watch or read hentai, but you can't replicate the community of /h/.

Deleting boards is counterproductive and I think the only reason people are jumping so quick to do it is because they're scared their favorite board will be deleted.

No, that isn't why 4chan became popular. It was a place where people could come and discuss anime, manga, Japanese "weeb" culture, in a place that wasn't bound by the cancerous shit that surrounded similar forums at the time. It was never about being some bastion of freedom of expression.

So this is the power of ADBlock.

Also, give 4chan passes more features and a free week trial or something

>reddit frog
It isn't though

It's so simple.

Just remove /b/

Here's an example of which boards takes up what space from the previous 4chan archive site
http://4archive.org/stats/

/b/ uses the most space and it's the most useless board as of today. It's just repost after repost of reddit tier threads. Remove /b/ and those who has actual interests in 4chan related boards will flock there and the remaining 9gaggers/redditors/tumblrs/underage will have no more incentive to stay.

Also, im not a regular pol browser but why do people hate pol so much?

>>712091
The actual show discussion could be done entirely in one thread. Remove /mlp/, abolish rule 15 and shove a pony general into /co/. There, you instantly removed 50~ dedicated porn generals with just lurkers.

>>712038
because removing boards means that you have less things going on at once.
If you merge two text boards, it won't have any large effect but if you merge two image/video heavy boards, you'll save a lot of current bandwidth usage.
Though that doesn't matter with the archive existing.

>>711891
There are plenty of third party alternatives. Just make the archive redirecting of 4chanx part of the native extension.

>>712153
>is a discussion forum

Hence deleting certain boards, such as the majority of porn boards, where there is no discussion is the best option.
/soc/ as well needs to go, it's entirely against the spirit of the site.

>>712111
>so

>>712183
/pol/ should be fine. They did the poll, /pol/ passed with flying colors.

That being said, the porn boards are not looking good at all. Popular opinion says the porn boards should be cut.

http://www.strawpoll.me/11348777/r

>>712143

Why would we take down any boards? You can count the number of boards moot got rid of permanently on one hand. Less, if you count the ones removed for legal reasons or because they were tricks/jokes.

At most I'd say reduce the size of the archive or remove it. Make the images there thumbnail only, perhaps.

I'd encourage people to buy 4chan passes, which is more-or-less the 'donate' option users have been requesting for the donateordie drive, but I imagine that'll be a hard sell right now, since users want to be sure that their money is actually going to go to 4chan, and not some scam.

>>712125
Everyone knows you posted that thread in /pol/ to get your floods of fags to vote No.

Deleting /pol/ will do nothing but good for the site as long as janitors do their part and purge all invaders.

>>712153

I can kinda agree on this one. High-traffic boards are probably the largest drain on the site, but they're also probably one of the main reasons people to go 4chan in the first place.

Removal or shortening of the native 4chan archive is probably one of the first things that should be considered.

>>712193
YES. It literally IS the reason 4chan became a popular place.

We all know that if 4chan were deleted, you wouldn't have a place to say how you really felt in a truly anonymous setting.

>>712244
All the porn boards put together doesnt even compare to the traffic on /b/. /b/ is bo garbage and a drain on 4chan at this point. /b/ isnt what it used to be, it can pretty much be deleted with no regrets.

>>712254
No /pol/ needs to go as soon as possible. I think /pol/ is the most requested board for deletion and Hiroshimoot needs to listen to the voice of the majority. Get rid of /pol/ ASAP

it's because of you /pol/tards that 4chan is dying.
You are the sole reason that we have to go through this ordeal

>>712273
It's probably the same bunch of idiots and their stupid convinctions.

I think /pol/ needs to stay. For many reasons, let alone simple userbase containment.

>>712263
>it's literally costing the site far more money than it's bringing in
Doesn't that apply to every board?

>>712231
>why do people hate pol so much?

Some may claim racism, but more often it's the fact that it has a habit of leaking into other boards and derailing threads.
Personally I have no problem with it as long as it stays contained but I would prefer if they stopped drawing so much attention to the site. Nothing good has ever come of getting 4chan mentioned in mainstream media.

>>712273
It really isn't a hot button issue. Deleting /pol/ is just a meme.

People don't realize it's a god damn containment board and an extremely popular one at that. /pol/ needs to be left alone along with other high traffic/value boards.

>>712231
You never get rid of the originals.

Leave /b/ alone. As shit as it is, it's the grandfather of 4chan.

Get rid of /pol/
Everyone except for /pol/ users agree with that

>>712171
>But I need a board where I can discuss news
No you fucking don't. Don't confuse your self entitlement with what you need. 4chan isn't a place for normalfag IRL shit, on top of which moot went out of his way to express that he would hope Hiro would take steps to return 4chan back to it's origins, which is a place for discussing anime, manga, and all the related Japanese net culture, etc. which 4chan anons were obsessed with to the point of bringing it international attention. Boards like /new/, /news/ and /pol/ were a mistake.

>>712153
I like you anon. Discussing porn is better and easier done on 4chan than any other site on the internet.

Some boards like /gif/ and /hc/ definitely have very low quality post content, and some of the doujin/image set dumping that goes on in the others could probably be cut down on by just linking to panda or something, but don't get rid of them entirely please. The only time I actually enjoy talking about anything on 4chan is when it's about porn.

>>712240
One could do some optimizations while at it. Add some more hashing, and cut down on uploading by merely hotlinking to already present images. Hell, how about not removing some frequently reposted images, period? If something gets reposted 30 times a month, it's probably worth keeping on database so it doesn't waste download bandwidth.

>>712095
you do understand that a lot of /pol/ people are oldfags from /b/ right? The election brought a lot of new people in, but they go away afterwards. I have a feeling that most people asking /pol/ to die are new, and most people defending it are probably also newfags.

That is a large heap of shit. Most people come here for /b/. It has always been that way.
The problem is that /b/ no longer repels most people that go there. It welcomes everyone with endless porn threads and useless garbage.
Same thing with /v/ where they ban anything remotely controversial and welcome literally every shitposting moron.
Get rid of these bullshit safe spaces and you'll reduce traffic without having to delete a single board.
WE HAD A FUCKING SITE WIDE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SHIT MODERATION AND YOU DID JACK SHIT

The only reason /pol/ has such high traffic is the amount of people trying to raid it with shitty threads. It'll go down after the election.
I dont know why people blame /pol/ for that shit. It's coming from the outside, and unlike /b/ and /v/, those people dont stick around.

>>712333
/pol/ is the only reason why traffic to 4chan has skyrocketed since 2015. Along with the continuous public and media scrutiny, /pol/ has made 4chan completely unmarketable, thus driving away ad revenue.
Get rid of /pol/ and clean up this site of that mess and 4chan might be saved.

From moot's farewell news post:
>I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide 4chan with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team 4chan is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years.

It's just smokescreen from /pol/tards desperately trying to save their shit board. Out of all the high traffic boards they are easily the most hated. Not a single other board community wants them here. Somehow they have become more despised than /b/. Really shows how terrible they are.

Weeabo shit was a mistake. The site started back when being a weeaboo was something cool and niche.

Now it's just diagnosed as autism and there's medication for it.

4chan has become way more impactful as it transformed itself in a more mainstream site where people can post anonymously. I'm glad we're over that phase where the site was mostly used by weeaboos and pedos.

>/b/ was, and precisely because of it's free speech.
/b/ was popular because it was anime/random and a platform for all the newfags to spam the memes they came across to the rest of the world. These memes were all related to the things I spoke about, and not normalfag shit.
It was nothing to do with "free speech". You're the newfag here who fundamentally doesn't get it.

What pony shitposting? I'd bet quite a large sum of money that ponyposting will never outweigh frogposting, at least not at this time. Yes, it was a problem, but there's no need to sperg out about it anymore now that /mlp/ is basically just a general board. The hype died down.

Lock /v/, /a/, and /vg/ until site traffic goes down.

Reposting this from the last thread with some additions:

>all these stupid board changes

Been here since 2006, here are my two cents. Keep in mind this is to account for all data stored on the site and the nature of certain boards.

-Set bump limit to 500 and image limit to 175 across all boards of course excluding stickies and all that
-Delete Cute/Male
-Delete Pony (Make it a bannable offense to post pony)
-Make it a bannable offense to post furry
-Delete LGBT
-Delete Cams/Meetups (/soc/ brings nothing to 4chan thats good, nuke it.)
-Delete Sexy Beautiful Women
-Delete Hardcore
-Delete Handsome Men
-Delete Hentai
-Delete Ecchi
-Delete Yuri
-Delete Hentai/Alternative
-Delete Yaoi
-Delete Adult Gif
-Delete Adult Cartoons
-Delete Adult Requests
-Get new and better mods
-Keep /trash/ but make mods utilize it more instead of nuking threads they don't like.
-Use more public bans and permanent bans, but don't go overzealous with it and permaban everyone
-Keep /pol/ and /b/ they help 4chan more than you guys realize
-Archive things for only 3 days

If you want porn go and find it, if we're thinking about prolonging the existence of this website then we need to cut the middle man. Also we don't need fur/ponyshit infecting our boards and the discussion, 4chan is better off without them.

>>712427
Most of the fucktards on this site aren't techsavvy enough these days to know the difference between bandwidth and storage.

They think that deleting a few boards, which would save maybe a GB or two, will somehow reduce the amount of impressions that popular boards have and reduce their bandwidth.

The best solution is carrying out moot's final will. 4chan needs to be a place for non-mainstream discussion of hobbies and niche interests.

I don't care if people start screaming 'not your secret club'. This site should be a place for enthusiasts to discuss things that are too obscure to discuss elsewhere or have discussions in a smaller, for lack of a better word, higher power level environment. This doesn't mean everyone has to become an insufferable hipster, it just means that everyone has to actually want to talk about the topic at hand.

>>712564
No, literally every board hates /pol/. Every single board. Precisely because of dumbass posts like yours. You can't believe anyone would hate your board so you say
>u-ur a butthurt liberal!
It's unfathomable to you that some people just find politics totally incongruous with this website and want nothing to do with it. You fucking peabrains just don't belong on 4chan.

>>712296
>invaders
>been here since ~2005

Hiro, please leave /pol/ alone. Reducing file size seems like a good option though, unless anyone can point to a reason why 3MB isn't enough.

>>712373
>you do understand that a lot of /pol/ people are oldfags from /b/ right?
No.
I doubt anyone on /pol/ over the past month was even on 4chan during 2007, let alone long enough to be called an oldfag.
>I have a feeling that most people asking /pol/ to die are new
No, that's just your fucking pathetic and all too predictable /pol/tard delusion.

SHUT DOWN 4CHAN FOR ONE MONTH

All the faggots that came from other places (like those faggots that outright say they come to /v/ just to shitpost) will find new homes, and we can all be productive for a month before ruining our lives again

Give us a counter somewhere on the site that displays the required number of 4chan passes to keep things the way they are and all will be resolved.

>>712494
the amount of butthurt /pol/ induces in redditors is reason enough to keep it.

>>712259

What the hell are they even doing nowadays, just dumping porn?

I was there last around 2007 or something, around the time newfags started flooding the damn place and people moved to other boards.
Of course, those newfags were fucking saints compared to what we get nowadays.

No, because I am from /a/? Every time site discussion came up the boogeyman of the time was blamed for all the problems. /b/, /v/, /sp/, now /pol/, it's just how it is and has been forever.

I highly suspect those who want to keep /b/ are those who regularly browse /b/ and because /b/ has the highest users it would make sense many would defend it's deletion.

But really it's the most garbage board given it's traffic size.

You have boards like /i/ but at least it's low traffic

From moot's farewell news post:
>I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide 4chan with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team 4chan is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years.

No matter how many boards are deleted, this site will die, num00t is greedy.

Yeah, makes sense.

So people want /pol/, the only political board to be deleted. But keep all those unnecessary porn related boards who probably are the real culprit with bandwidth abuse.
