He realized that he is not getting money so he made changes to 4chan, if he realizes that making those changes doesn't give him money he will realize again that those changes are probably bad.

When he does that and there's a way I can help keep 4chan afloat, I'll do that too.

How much time will it take until 4chan pass users have the ability to upvote/downvote threads on regular boards?

It's fucking ridiculous how much bullshit Hiro is introducing. People seem to have already forgotten when he removed Yotsube from the 404 page (then added her later on but still kept the Youtube video).

Everyone keeps spitting out what is killing 4chan, and while it is true that most of that stuff is an absolute detraction from what is good here, if you only focus on the problems, then you end up with a bunch of newfags who think they're clever and making good contributions just by pointing out that they heard what some of the problems were.

What is good here is the original content, the moments when contributors actually make a thread about animu or mango that are funny, interesting, or otherwise informative, and funny, interesting or informative discussion is presented in the usual fast paced, biting, and cynical tone that 4chan is known for, and whether the content be the posting of a doujin, a namefag making funny responses, or hilarious and original shoops, as long as the content is fresh and entertaining, and the responses are quick and fun, then that is why people actually come here.

Anything that gets in the way of that good content is what is killing 4chan. That's all there really is to it.

Until an alternative to 4chan rises that's any good, there's nothing like 4chan on the internet. At least for an english only speaker. So, whatever spirit is or is not there, if 4chan is gone, it definitely won't be there.

>>148130052
Lewd.

I don't like normalfags. I'll be honest, I think normal people are the cancer killing 4chan. Look at /b/'s front page, it's all 'my girlfriend' this and 'my girlfriend' that, it's nothing but posturing bravado in my eyes and it doesn't contribute to the overrall quality of a board. Want to know why night time /a/ and previously night time /v/ were remembered so fondly? Because most of the people on 4chan at 2:00am PST are not 'normal' considering societal definition, often abnormal people are the most creative though, they take out their abnormality in artistic ways. That's why so many of them are good at creative writing (look at how many famous authors have been abnormalfags). And I'm not talking serial killer abnormal or, or anyone who feels the need to identify with pathetic subcultures like emo or scene, I'm talking about people who are just quite cynical and have an understanding of the term 'dry wit'.

In short, normal people are boring - they talk about normal things, their normal life with their normal girlfriend at their normal school/college/workplace with their normal friends eating their normal food and retiring to their normal apartment/house. They aren't interesting. Take that horse head dude on Nico Nico, he's clearly as abnormal as they come, yet he's absolutely hilarious as a result. The world would be fucking BORING without people like that. Basically, /b/'s content these days is normal people dealing with normal things in a normal way ('hey /b/, i fucked such and such a girl, but X problem happened, what do I do?') Tell me honestly, is that as hilarious as hearing anons give serious advice on how to jerk off over sleeping girls? Or hearing someone recount an genuine incest story? Fuck no.

Don't take this in an offensive way, I just don't want the normalfags spreading to other boards. Let's keep 4chan abnormal.

according to someone he did the same to 2ch, giving them more privilege and then sold the data of the pass users but they're just rumors

>>148130109

They're not. There's many news coverages of it all over the internet as well as a dedicated page with documents.

I think someone would be interested in buy posting data of the internet's home for the alt-right, but it sounds too expensive for your typical Walmart conglomerate.

So you just want to help in the destruction of 4chan?
Failing for the buy the pass bait you are destroying what is 4chan, you will end with a reddit copy named 4chan.

>>148130053

>>148130191
No, buying the pass directly supports 4chan. Opposing passes is encouraging the destruction of 4chan. It can't magically keep running for free just because you feel entitled to it.

You know what else makes it harder for them to know that someone replied to them? NOT FUCKING REPLYING TO THEM. You could just ignore them. But you don't. Because you want the attention that you know you'll get if you not only reply to them, but reply in an abnormal way. You're just as much an attention whore as they are.

It was never about the fucking survival of the site. It got by fine under moot's business model. Hiro just wants shekels. He's gone through this same formula before, and it's dense motherfuckers like you who are gullible enough to let him do it again and fuck this place up in the process.

>>148130876
It's clear if he was offered that much money there is a reason he turned it down, again, his history tells us he isn't really righteous. If he turned it down, off the top of my head I can think of that he a) is pulling a publicity stunt to get user support or b) the terms of that 5 million had a shitty catch that he didn't want to be snared in.

You're a fucking idiot. Mods where is the public ban for shit like this?

The absolute silence of the mods about this whole thing is frustrating.

Even a half-hearted "Oh, it'll all be ok" is better than deleting everything and forcing people to be quiet.

https://www.4chan.org/advertise?selfserve

looks like they've implemented a new advertising model

>>148130935
What catch? He's selling the website. He gives ownership to Martin, leaves, takes his money and lives like a neet for the rest of his life.

And if moot leaving couldn't garner enough support to keep 4chan alive, why would this give hiro much more support?

And just on this whole Hiro thing, moot started Passes. You could've given moot money then. People didn't. So, now we have Hiro and I'm trying to figure out how we deal with him, cause moot isn't coming back. At least not for trucks full of money.

Thread creation on all boards only allowed for pass users when?

>>148131029
I guess he was lying when he said there would be no more ads. The evidence is right here. This is what his plans for the site really are. Did they leave this page open by mistake?

>>148131043
moot started the passes in 2012, and left at the turn of 2015. 4chan has always been operated at a loss, but moot clearly had the passion to get things to work somehow. He also said that things should've been fine without any external touching for a few years, but as we see 10 months later there's "bandwidth issues" and we might need to "delete boards" I might be okay with this, I preferred 4chan when things were smaller, even if that is now a dream. or take "malicious ads". I don't really think it's worth trusting Hiro on the matter.

Oh fuckit; I've had too much fun hanging out with you assholes for $15 to be a barrier. And, hell, it would be a shamefur dispray if MeFi got my money but not 4ch.

And you also seem to be under the assumption that moot left because he couldn't afford to keep the site going. Also wrong. The site was turning a profit when he left, read his leaving post.

>>148130999
Let's say hypothetically, how much money do you think 4chan is currently profiting in 2016? And consider it's growth. It's largest boards, /b/, /pol/ - the home of the alt-right, /v/ - the home of gamergate, and /a/. You think he thinks he can make more money than the $5M he was just offered?

>>148131179
Less he was kicked and more he was running from court subpoenas for fines. Don't quote me on the subpoena bit, but he did owe money for fucking up over there.

>>148131140
Oh, never mind. I heard about this. For some reason, I thought that post was about Hiro and not Shkreli.

>>148131230
Because he obviously will just ignore it

>>148131184
didn't he have a job at Variety or something

>>148131230
Because they're gullible and have too much money lying around.

>>148131179
He forced users to buy passes to post. Then he sold credit card information he obtained from the passes to other companies. The coadmin found out and kicked him out.

>>148131230
Unless he is required to by law, he'll probably tell you to fuck off.

>>148131192
All we know for sure is that it's making enough money to turn a profit. And when you consider the server fees, that's a shit ton of money you're getting from passes.

And now he's actually pressuring the community into buying passes.

>>148131306
Shkreli is a man who bought a life-saving drug that was sold for relatively cheap and increased the price of the pill 5000%. While that is legal, it still makes him a piece of shit.

He is also facing charges of fraud, which will probably be concluded with fines, rather than prison time.

How hard would it be to create a text board?

>>148131341
Is that not a distraction?

>>148131116
Fine, but people could've gotten passes before Hiro. As for Hiro, I dunno what people expect. moot? moot's gone. So, we've got Hiro. I can't deal with what-ifs. So, if Hiro is scamming us, he scams us. He does it well or poorly, but there's not anything we can do unless someone finds out if he really is or really isn't, if 4chan really is or really isn't having issues, etc.

But passes have been around for a while. They were a means to support 4chan during moot's era. And 4chan needs support or it won't be around, whatever form it takes.

>>148131260
Basically the same direction we're going with passes and this /vip/ bullshit?

>>148131210
He is. So, why didn't Hiro take the money and run?

So why are you people getting triggered by a single useless board? Like how does this even affect you?

>>148131350
Oh wow, 5000%? The man must be lacking any sort of conscious.

>>148131184
I'm under the assumption that no one in their right mind thinks 4chan is worth more than $5M. I'm under the assumption that managing 4chan for the profit moot was making wasn't worth it. I'm under the assumption that if moot was paid $1M a year, he'd gladly run interference for all the crazy shit we do every year on this website.

There is an argument that he was doing it to show off how corrupt pharmaceutical company monopolies are, but there are several thousand people whose lives depend on this drug, so increasing the price by 5000% is still shitting on them.

>>148131306
Some pharmaceutical executive who did some shady shit and got rich. Now he mostly posts edgy shit on twitter and flaunts his wealth.

On one hand, he's the kind of person who seems like he should be running a site like 4chan, seeing as he has loadsamoney and gives zero fucks.
On the other hand, he'd probably just run the site into the ground by screwing with it since, again, he gives zero fucks.

He also doesn't seem like he would care much about /a/ or the like.

This. Every board will soon be 4chan pass only. Hiro will end up rolling in the cash cause everyone's so cucked they'll buy passes just to shitpost on 4chan. Hiro will be so rich he'll be swimming in pools of liquid cash and fucking hot super models every night. He'll then start expanding his social media empire, gobbling up reddit, twitter, and then facebook. He'll make a name for himself in popular culture. Everyone will start saying things like "That's a Hiro!" or "We gotta Hiro them!". One day, he'll throw his hat into the ring of politics, run for president, end up winning the Democratic Nomination and challenging the establishment Washington DC insiders and Republican Candidate inbedded with the Washington Elite, Barron Trump. He'll save us from the terror of a third Trump Presidency.

Doubt it. Shitposters aside most people who make OC and these shitholes worth browsing will leave. Most people have wanted an excuse to leave for literally a decade, they will take it. Others that would buy passes otherwise to participate in discussions will also leave because they won't want to spend money and be left with nothing but drooling retards. In the end 4chan will look like a shitposting wasteland because everyone capable of writing anything intelligent will be gone.

>>148131483
>Shady Shit

No, he fucked over insurance companies that basically used their drug to bankrupt families over time to keep them alive since what they're giving isn't an actual cure.

He basically reasoned that "This shit doesn't cure them but these companies are basically using it to keep people alive long enough that they can bleed as much money as they can out of them, so I'm just gonna cut out the bullshit and bump the price up to the point where the insurance companies couldn't pretend that wasn't what they were doing"

So he gets vilified by the media and the Insurance companies because he exposed them for what they were doing while the companies were still forced to purchase that.

He was then brought to court where he was charged with killing people indirectly by doing this price hike and his response was basically "Anyone can contact me who can't afford the insurance companies prices and I'll give it to them for free"

He was made into a villain because he exposed the truth of just how those companies were literally sucking as much money out of dying people as they could.

If 4chan was profitable at all he wouldn't be created by moot. moot never wanted 4chan to be profitable. Stop being a retard. Not everyone wants to monetize every little thing like you. He left because he wanted to pursue an actual career and because he lost interest in the site a long time ago but kept it alive because of us. But he still wanted to pursue a career. Knowing google they must have forced him to cut ties with the site as part of his contract or he decided to do it before google wanted to add his site to their own projects.

He could've just kept ownership, do what he was doing the last 5 years, and then do whatever the fuck else he wanted most of the time.

im like 99% positive there used to be one of those button displays on 4chan where it had icons to repost it on shit like digg, reddit, ect

What I meant to say was that if money was good for anything at all all the idiots who fell for the pass trap wouldn't have because they would have received proper education and would know better. And for the last time, moot kept the site going with guts and not a large sum of money. He never wanted to monetize it either, just make enough to keep it running and pay collaboratos. That's what made the site so good too. Wanting to make it profitable to the extent you want is what Hiro is doing. There is no way of turning the site into a money machine without ruining it.

Oh wow, haven't seen this pasta in years.

>>148132287
>/h/
I'd rather they delete /s/, /hr/, etc., but that too.

Reduce /pol/ image sizes? There are several things he could have done but hasn't.

>>148132379
>moot kept the site going with guts and not a large sum of money.

I know. But if he had a large sum of money and it was coming from 4chan, combined with his guts, he wouldn't have left.

Don't worry guys, moot's gonna come back once he makes enough money from google.

>>148132369
Not unless he deletes /a/ here and redirects to the other place.

>>148132420
>to make even more money back with 4chan

Niggers

Googles.

>>148130661

Because of how overrated it is, you mean?

>>148132420
nobody leaves google, nobody

>>148132400
Well, those are slow boards, which aren't really the main problem.

I'm not too well informed on the subject, but the way I see it is that it's like if you downloaded a game once, and then kept it for two weeks. Which would be your average porn board, whereas /v/ and /pol/ is like downloading that game, deleting it, then downloading it again, wash, rinse repeat for two weeks. Clearly the latter will eat more bandwidth.

HA

>>148132313
I missed this pasta, but still.

>Fuck the site, let's watch it burn.
Is the best option right now, let's enjoy it.

>>148132491

>>148132477
Someone posted a pie chart of bandwidth by board, hopefully it'll get posted again.

Was moot behind Youtube Heroes?

>>148132527
Shut up, fishbucket.

>>148132416
And how exactly would you propose he did that? He didn't use ads, he hated donations, he wouldn't do any kind of promotion for money. We literally forced him to sell passes. He was proud of that too and so was anyone else. And again, he would have always left even if he was swimming in dough. He could have stayed as a figure admin but he wouldn't be active or take part in running it. His problem wasn't money, he wanted to do something else with his life. To do that he needed to stop managing this site completely. Why is this so difficult to understand?

>>148132528
Well, if I'm wrong I'm wrong. I don't really know shit all about this sort of stuff, I'm just parroting what I've read.

>>148132528
This conversation about bandwidth is great and all, but don't forget that Hiroyuki was just lying about the financial trouble.

>>148130528
Agreed.

>>148132546
I'm not proposing it, I'm suggesting it, that moot would've stayed if 4chan was lining his pockets with gold-pressed latinum. And if he was profiting a lot off of 4chan, all those problems wouldn't have been such big problems for him. 4chan was his baby, his family for almost half his life. But remember Rule of Acquisition #6 - Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity. And google offered him a much better one.

Rule 1: Take it easy - We don't care about how inuyashasgirlfriend1997 made the most retarded weeaboo video in youtube and you "raged" for 26 minutes to it while killing your cat with your keyboard in the process. Or how some kid in Gaia plays Touhou and FS/N. We just take it easy, since we know the cause of most of these things are kids acting like kids (and if they aren't kids, we know they are just retards). This also means we don't want stupid drama.

Rule 2: Don't respond to trolls - If some guy posted something really stupid and provocative that made you angry and you want to kill him, don't respond to him. Don't even bother to tell him off while using sage; it's most likely a troll that just wants some replies. In /jp/, troll threads tend to be really easy to spot, so there's really no excuse for this. If too many people get baited, it will end up in a stupid 200 post long drama thread nobody wants to see in the first page.

Rule 3: Don't use smilies - Smilies aren't accepted in /jp/, please refrain from using them. We are all heartless bastards who don't want to see what kind of faces you make IRL while posting (This also applies to reaction images, if you want to post them so badly go to /a/ or /v/) Exceptions: ;_; (Life-like texture ;_;), 2ch smilies and ransmirk.jpg

Rule 4: Keep your memes in your board - We aren't meme fans, try to keep your memes in /b/. However, as every board in 4chan, we have our own memes too (even if we don't spam them all the time like in /b/). the most common ones are: The Pleasure of Being Cummed Inside (/lounge/ forced meme, became the generic response to every translation request), Japanese Bird Cooking pasta (forced meme that became popular), Hoopdog/Awesomedog (HOLY SHIT A DOG JUMPING 8 HOOPS ON FLAMES).

Self serve ads have been a thing for a while now.

Some /mlp/ autist used it to advertise /mlp/ as well as some streamers from /v/ and I think even /ck/ used it at some point.

>>148132477
Like >>148132583 says, don't even bother. There was never a problem to begin with. Take a look at how many new passes are being bought since he sounded the alarm and how hiro turns down 5M offers like it was nothing. It was a ruse to make a quick buck for his new vacation trip.

>>148132528
mmm pie

>>148132672
God dammit, now I want pie.

Rule 5: Irony is art - Sarcasm and irony are funny, however "LOL I DONT LIKE THIS SO I HAVE TO ACT LIKE A RETARD XD" isn't accepted. Acting like a retard to "mock" something you dislike only makes you worse than the people you are trying to mock. Neither is spamming the board with stupid shit just to be funny.

Rule 6: Be tolerant - This is 4chan, it's impossible to post here without being insulted at least once. We don't want this to become a forum, but we don't want this to become /b/ either; just try to be kind the most you can, excessive swearing and "rage" isn't cool.

Rule 7: Trolling - Trolling is fun, but it's too easy to generate stupid, annoying drama too easily, especially when you overdo it. Try to avoid trolling unless you can make it funny. More importantly, don't keep pressing when everyone is already annoyed of your shit, it's not clever at all. Please know when to stop.

Rule 8: GETs - GETs are dumb and boring, nobody cares about a stupid number. Don't act surprised if somebody scores a GET and people don't react to it. Just ignore it.

>>148132658
If you want the reality to be that moot dropped his baby on the ground because someone waved him a dollar then suit yourself.

>I wonder if he can derail conversations in English as well as he can in Japanese

>>148132546
>His problem wasn't money
Money was still a factor, he had to go to multiple lawsuits because of some jackass dumping CP in his site

Rule : Requests - If you want to download "X," check /rs/ first. If it fails (and is porn), you can also try /r/. If that fails too, try Google. Also check the archive (archive.easymodo.net), it has a nice search feature. If it's an image someone posted, you can try the [View same] feature in the archive or iqdb.yi.org. Also try anisearch.net, it's a search engine for the *boorus. If you want the source of a doujin some anon posted, check the filename first, you don't want to be a dumbass that asked /jp/ for source on something that can be easily recognized by the filename. If everything failed, then ask /jp/.

Rule 10: Reports - Nobody cares if you reported a thread, it's not like the OP is going to delete the thread just because you reported it. Don't make single-word post saying "reported," it only leads to dumb meta-arguments about what "/jp/ really is about."

Rule 11: Imagedumps - Yes, we all know about the boorus, anisearch and Google Image Search, but we aren't going to stop posting imagedumps just because you don't like them. Go to a text board if you don't like imagedumps or just hide them using 4chan's Firefox Extension.

Rule 12: Don't be a "normalfag" - Most of the users here are loser weeaboo "NEET"s. Nobody cares if your girlfriend is a supermodel or if you are more successful than us, we enjoy our way of living, even if we feel lonely.
