/r9k/

Eh, it was worth a shot. It's a userbase issue and not a board one.

>And yes, I know how dumb it is to have ANOTHER topic-less board with no gimmick

That's the thing though, without the one unique feature the entire board should just be deleted instead of bothering with such a weak half-measure. There's no real reason most of what /r9k/ dwellers like to discuss can't just go back to /b/. It might actually do /b/ some good.

/b/ this, /b/e that
a/b/loo /b/loo

/r9k/'s gimmick IS the robot. It was supposed to be /b/ without the /b/, but somehow or another a bunch of edgy depressed anons turned it into their home. I'd honestly rather see a new board, perhaps with a name like /l/ - The Soapbox, or something like that, where all the edgy anons can fuck off to. Then /r9k/ can be what it was supposed to be. In my opinion something like that would have made a much better addition than /bant/.

It will never be what it's meant to be. Boards are brand names people are emotionally attached to.

Woah... that's deep breh.

Nobody wants to admit whenever they mention a board's name, there's always a certain biased sentiment attached to it, be it negative or positive. That alone tells you how the DNA of a human being functions. At this point, it's a matter of using this knowledge against them if you want to see some real change.

delete the board and make them move to /b/ instead.

No. Without the robot, /r9k/ is just another random board.

I think it should block image-hashes and be strengthened to catch similarly-worded posts rather than just clone-posts. It should also have Google's toxicity filter and automatically block all posts above 30% toxicity, and then this Nu Robot™ should be unleashed on the rest of 4chan for a day and the only way to turn it off would be to buy a pass. I think it would be pretty funny.
