He's not going to delete /mlp/. There's a shit ton of people recommending that the porn boards get 86'd. If that happens, then you can say goodbye to a red /mlp/ though.
>>
>>28553124
Surprisingly few calls to delete us, actually. Most people seem to be pushing more for deletion of the more useless and/or gif-heavy boards.

A few also correctly pointing out what a disaster it'd be if they unleashed us on the rest of the board.

>>28553229
Yeah, it's... odd. I can't help but wonder if Japmoot is trolling us. Literally saying "malicious ads" seems a bit much.

He's like the Joker from The Dark Knight or something. There isn't any crisis, so he manufactures one to watch the "civilized" boards eat each other.

There's no money.

If he accepted malicious ads, more people would be forced to watch them.

An easy way to make more money.

I'm actually glad joot is so upfront about the crisis.

Isn't that sort of the point though? Goot wants to half traffic costs. Eliminating several boards that barely see any traffic wouldn't have much impact, but taking out a few of the higher traffic boards would. If /pol/ got taken out, they'd probably set up shop in /po/ or something, making papercraft dolls of Hitler.
Now I actually want to see that happen.

There's going to be a split. Some will say ponychan, some will say /pone/, and others will say stick to /co/.

Let's be honest here, 4chan has been steadily going down-hill since 2010. Ever since the internet started becoming popular with normies and business-jews. Everyone saw this coming. It's the reason I've had one foot in reddit. I will miss you horsefuckers, but if pony is ending in a few weeks then it's time for us to move on.

Honestly, the solution to this wouldn't have to be terrible. Lowering the bandwidth wouldn't be the end of the world - it's not like the server speed is great as it is - and removing or limiting boads that are strictly imagedumpbs would probably help the problem a lot.

That being said, the jap will probably find a way to fuck it up.

And I doubt furries would want to share a board with /mlp/ when they're two separate communities and they would have to put up with so perfect threads, EqGfags and other degenerates. It would not be good.

Is it time for it to end and move to a single /co/ thread again? I'm actually curious. I used to come here all the time but completely lost interest in MLP when Twilight got wings for doing the exact same fucking thing she's done three other times. So this is my first time posting her in almost two years.

Is the interest in the show still booming enough to justify this board, or is it your typical dying fad where the fanbase just obsesses over user-made content with weird niche generals hardly even related? It seems like that now, but I'm out of the loop. Maybe it's because MLP is off-season or something?

Posting best pone just because I haven't done it in a long time.

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.

All of the generals are fine except for a few, really, and generals are probably one of the few things keeping this board alive considering the rest of the board is IWTCIRD, Shitty writing prompts usually by someone whose not a native english speaker, and "X looks at you and sees your dick her face when" threads.

I just refreshed the front page a few times is all. It looks like there are a bunch of fanfic general threads. Don't get me wrong, they were there when I was around too, like the Milk Mare or whatever, and stupid shit like /b/read.

I still don't have anything against MLP, I like the characters still, but I just pretend the show ended with unicorn Twilight and that the nightmare-inducing Equestria Girls never existed.

I just hate the idea of fad boards, it seems like it pads out to stupid shit instead of actual discussion of the source material. Discussion of the actual source material I feel like is what (should) be the strong point of this site. Just like there should never be an Undertale board. I just stick to /v/ and wait for Overwatch threads because they seem to at least have a topic instead of /owg/'s senseless bitching about Blizzard and waifus. Just my opinion, though.

So you do get it. Why did you say nothing of value would be lost then? Just like you like your select few generals, other posters have their own set of generals which they frequent.

I mean, heck, out of all the generals on /vg/ I browse only 3, but that doesn't mean I'd think nothing of value was lost if /vg/ was deleted.

While /mlp/ is not as fast as it used to be, for 4chan standards it's a fast board.
To say more - it's a containment board for a quite specific yet popular topic that's universally hated by a considerable amount of people across the whole site.
Compared to other boards - activity on /mlp/ is pretty "light". We mostly write greens and use static images which, given the fact the show is made in Flash, are very easy to store.
There's also a lot of users on /mlp/ who come to 4chan solely because of this board.

So, essentially - removing /mlp/ means cutting down an active board that has the "actual traffic on the board/costs to sustain" proportion on a very high level and has tendency to bring outsiders to the site effectively increasing ad revenue much more effectively that you would expect from a board of such size - given it actually brings new people who are much more likely to click/at least not block ads simply because they aren't used to them on this particular site.
And finally - deleting a containment board will result in a backlash and no amounts of bans will be able to prevent it. So, for like about a month "the first month of /trash/" will be observable pretty much everywhere. It will calm down eventually, but it won't do 4chan any good. Even the most reasonable people (aka the silent majority) who had already stopped caring about ponies due to not having autism to care about it for six fucking years straight, are likely to stop visiting 4chan for a while - to wait for things to calm down, resulting in a huge traffic decline.

Meanwhile, the only real motivation for the board deletion is "god, I hate ponies".

Similarly to how your

>99% of the time some retard makes a stupid joke, adn then the rest of the thread is people repeating the EXACT SAME fucking joke over and over getting 3000+ upboats.

Claim was pulled from your ass then. Sure that's how it plays out on the popular humour based subs like r/funny r/adviceanimals r/gifs and all that shit, but that rarely happens on more discussion based subs, in fact it's frowned upon. Comment chains and whatnot are often ban-worthy on these types of subreddit. I'm not sure how you could have arrived at that statistic without browsing reddit extensively anyway.

The end is near, isn't it? The fandom has died out alreadly, I don't know what caused it, was it S3? Equestria Girls? S6? Glim Glam? I don't know, none of this really matters anymore, does it? How long will this last? We are kind of all dead on the inside alreadly.

The days of us being over-joyed over this show, loving the characters, are over. Magic's slowly fading.

All those tumblr blogs? Gone.
Lonely Inky? Gone
Pinkamina? Gone.
Majority of green text fags? Gone.
Banned From Equestria Daily? Gone.
Tiarawhy? Gone.
All those projects Tiarawhy worked on? Gone.
Fighting Is Magic? Gone.
The Library? Gone.
Lauren Faust? Gone.
Larson? Gone
Amy Keating Rogers? Gone.
Content Creators? Oh, they're gone too.
Musicians? Gone.
Animators? Gone.
Reviewers? Gone.


How long do you think this will lost? The show? S7 will be probably over, or the movie will end it. All of your waifus will die and you will never ever get to see them again, prepare for that, my faggots. Hold on tight, we can get through this even when it will all end.

The "Muh sekret club" fags are a bit of a vocal minority, most people would probably like the increase in traffic.

EqG was one of the biggest factors in the destruction of this community, but certainly not the only one. I think that the blatant mismanagement on Hasbro's side and the shoehorning of cheap chinese plastic toy advertisements over anything else is the overarching theme of destruction here.

Of course he's lying. The reason he bought the site is to make money with it and it probably does so, but not fast enough for him.
If he really wants to reduce traffic, he must remove all porn and gif boards. They're totally unecessary imo.
>>
>>28554254
It's not a good idea. The board's served two purposes over the years: to be for the discussion of MLP, and to keep MLP away from the rest of 4chan. Everyone advocating the deletion of /mlp/ because they think it's dead here is horribly mistaken. Take all the autistic rage over whether or not /mlp/ should be a red board, which generals should be deleted, and all the other shit that gets brought up in meta discussion, then focus all that into a single purpose.

They raided 4chan, Tumblr and Reddit in the end of 2014, then left for infinitychan. Right now tumblr, reddit and non-/pol/ boards of 4chan are growing increasingly "redpilled" as they call it.

Deleting /pol/ is so big of a mistake for them like electing Hillary Clinton.

Let us pray exactly that happens.

ya'll are retarded if you think /mlp/ will actually get closed before useless shit like /po/, /soc/, and /i/.

To be fair, a large portion of users wanted this one board to become NSFW in the first place. However, the split was created largely by the moderators. The moderators did not communicate the reason for the split to the community (as always).

If you are talking about /mlp/ becoming red, it was never going to happen anyway.

If you are talking about /trash/, I don't think it will go anywhere. It's a containment board that does its job well. When was the last time you saw a diaper thread here?

http://boards.4cha/////n.org/co/thread/86683687/hey-guys-i-just-wanted-to-let-you-all-know-that

>The only reason they got contained was because people found the idea of grown men seriously watching MLP en masse to be so hilarious that they spammed it everywhere until people complained. Nearly six years later, the humor and novelty of such a concept has worn off

>Delete /mlp/ already. Nobody there watches the show anymore, and in fact they congregate there to cook up their greentext self-insert fics only, so the risk of ponies flooding the site or /co/ are minimal.

>Horsefucker fandom seems to have died down as of late, there's no reason to devote resources to a containment board with nothing left to contain

They are right. Also, with the deletion of /mlp/ they will allow TFH thread in /v/ and /vg/ and would really help to promote that game and our mom writing

I never bought this argument. I found out about 4chan through know your meme back in the early summer of 2012, and I didn't like porn when I first got here, and unironically supported love and tolerance. I was the antithesis of /mlp/ when I first got here, and the porn never scared me away. I assimilated, not because of the porn, but because of the attitudes here. Porn isn't going to detract anyone other than a very, very, small group that would have fled anyways for many other reasons.
>>
>>28554501
historically, in times of chaos, we have found sanctuary in mlpchan

but this is no option

mlpchan has assimilated into ponychan, and is no such place for our culture

atechan may be the best bet, but may also feel threatened as we far outnumber them
>>
>>28554469

Pony has 2 more chances to become popular once again, even if it's for a month or so.

1. FIM movie might attarct many people back into the fandom.
2. FIM reboot or new generation. That's a bit of a stretch as I highly doubt the new gen will be as good as gen IV, unless they get someone as good as Lauren. Even then It might not be quite the same as the brony fandom won't be that new shocking trend that everyone freaks out about.

There's also a secret third way. It's risky but rewarding for those willing to take a chance.

You kill yourself and hope that your life is a neverending loop with no way to escape.

An EG show that is much more popular since many people are repulsed by the idea of watching a show about ponies. An EG show would be able to be accepted by a much wider arc of people. Especially if they take off the MLP logo from its marketing.

Plus, with Ishi Rudell directing, it can't be that bad.

Ok guys.

Killing boards is not a solution imho. Lowering the number of anons is overall a bad idea (it may lead to the death of the site).

Making a donation button by the way is a good idea, even if there is already the pass. I'm interested into donating 50 bucks to 4chan not to buy 3 different pass. it's subtle but is psychology.
What about annoyed rich anons who wants to donate >1000 bucks? they have to buy >70 pass? i don't think so

Donation button and more ads is the solution. Why not crowdfunding the survival of 4chan too?

Hot damn, what fresh hell did I wake up to?

As far as I see it we've only got two real worst-case-scenario options. Either:
>1. Flee to ponychan or another similar site. See if they'll take us in.
or
>2. Shitpost with the fire of a thousand suns. Force Hiro into knowing exactly why /mlp/ was created.

Another thing we could try is setting up our own, separate imageboard. I'm not sure how technically viable it'd be
to throw up a horsefucker website on such short notice, but there's plenty of turn-key software available.

If this truly is the end of days, then it's time for an inspirational quote:
https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/12024786/#12038291

So basically they're going to look at the flow of traffic through /mlp/ and decide if it's heavy enough that letting them run wild on all the other boards would be more than the moderators could clean up.
Considering how dead our episode stickies are, there's plenty of reason to be concerned on that account. Besides if /mlp/ explodes its posters will scatter to the four winds of every other board and likely be drowned out by native content.

>moving to reddit
Reddit is the death of free thought. Any time you post a dissenting opinion or a thought not formatted in memespeak it immediately gets downvoted or not upvoted so that nobody ever sees it, and literally hidden behind a veil that most people don't bother opening to look inside.
Everything you see on reddit is heavily censored by moderators and passively by the unconscious actions of its cancerous 12 year old user base.

The doomsaying is fucking real. They're not going to get rid of an active, low traffic door. That would be fucking stupid as hell, even if they got rid of the 20 lowest traffic boards, /mlp/ wouldn't be on that list. But beyond that, the traffic would be a drop in the bucket compared to what their problem is. Their problem is the biggest, fastest moving, high traffic boards, the archive and the porn boards.

In fact, when hiro said boards could be deleted, he more likely than not meant the porn boards.

Jesus fucking Christ, you pussies are panicking over fucking nothing. I doubt /mlp/ even crosses the rice nigger's mind at all.

Barely any. Once that becomes the norm, people will post threads with images because it gets attention. I mean, it will technically help, but not in any meaningful way
>>
>>28555330

If you don't have at least a slightly relavant image perhaps you shouldn't even be posting a thread. Remember, every time you [Start a New Thread] another one dies.

We can fund this
>>
>>28555345
that's why we need forced text-only boards
>>
if the problem is the traffic, if they delete mlp and we will merge into /co/ again, nothing will change in the traffic amount, so it will be basically an end by itself.
>>
>>28555298
They where on paper and when people started using them, but now people will post 5 second buttery smooth webms at 4k resolution for 5mb for no reason other than muh qualty
>>
>>28555353
but this is an image board, we should just delete the archive every week
>>
>>28555353
What board would benefit from that?
>>
>>28555356
Yes but /co/ won't be happy because they think ponies will get spammed everywhere. I think if we keep shit to one or two generals on /co/, maybe we could get along.
>>
>>28555367
we could not possibly squeeze an entire board into 2 generals
>>
He should just reduce the image size to 1 mb, delete the boards that need high image sizes, get rid of the archives, profit.
THIZ IZ THE BRIZE OF FREEDOM
>>
>>28555364
the whole site

>>28555361
doing both will be better. What's so important about taking 5 seconds to copy-paste a link to a booru or imgur or anywhere else?

Get rid of archives is good idea. There's always desuarchive and other clones that basically add up to archive all the boards.

Sorry anon, but if the bandwidth is a problem, external archives should be blocked.
It is better than the other measures he wants to take.
>>
>>28555367
we are too many for only 2 generals, we fill an entire active board.
/co/ and other boards won't be happy of our presence, hiro will need to recreate /mlp/ again to contain us again.
>>
>>28555429
>Sorry anon, but if the bandwidth is a problem, external archives should be blocked.
what?
>>
>>28555444
External archives suck a shitton of bandwidth for saving every post.

Not that guy, and not a computer-literate person, but how do external archives suck bandwidth?
>>
>>28555448
The external archives cost practically nothing, we're millions in there.
>>
>>28555462
They don't suck any more bandwith than any other 4chan visitor.

come on you richfags, go get a pass

You don't need a penny, just to hang around.
But if you got a nickle, won't you lay your money down.

Then why mootless blocked them at some point? He claimed they leech way too much traffic.
They have to go. Besides, who the hell gives a shit about archiving 4chan? this place has nothing of worth anyways, make it like the old archive, only users decide which threads are archived, nothing more.

Just axe the last 8 pages of /mlp/. Gets rid of the bump general shit

The ride won't end.
It can not end.
It will not end.

If it would what would I do then? Where would I post my shitty green and pics? Would I go back to gaming?
No, the ride continous...
>>
>>28555555
>>
>>28555501
maybe axing the last 8 page of mlp is too much but limiting every board to 8 page instead of 10 and deleting the archive may help,
>>
>>28555429
Do people even use archives anymore?

If /mlp/ is deleted probably off myself anyhow, so option 3 I hope for if I don't go to Equestria

Nobody fucking insulted you, but I will. You absolutely have shit taste.

To the rest of you, you better rethink your lives, ween yourselves off /mlp/ (whether it's getting shut down or not), and find solutions to your issues. MLP as a whole is dying. The fandom is bland, boring, and pointless. It's pure shit. Find something else to get attached to, because the fun is over. You're beneath the tundra if you think the MLP franchise is still worth following. It's fucking over. Switch to Steven Universe instead; it's superior in almost every aspect. The only things you have to deal with are the hiatuses. (And I guess SJWs, if can't tolerate them. I just ignore them.)

Just move on, folks.
