4chan passes aren't the way. The funny thing is the only reason I enabled my adblocker here is because you allowed malware on the archive pages. Why on earth would I bother with that shite?

Close more boards. Make the site less general and more niche again.

Limit uploading image sizes back down to 3MB. If people want huge files, there are thousands of external sites they can use. This is an imageboard, not a fucking video board.

They're just garbage. Deleting them would benefit everyone.

>>706342
You should have said so from the start.
All you did was make people angry instead of sympathetic.

Maybe you have a discussion with the mods as well as us.

Hire an advertising manager. Someone whose entire job is to find companies to advertise here and to negotiate with ad firms.

I have nothing against pass user having perks, but there should be no way to differentiate between pass users and non-pass users. Anonymity (and equality) is core to 4chan. Regardless of who you are, what you posted before, whether or not you use a pass, all posts have the same weight.

How the fuck does that even make sense? All it does is make more and more people who would be ok with non-intrusive ads to consider blocking them.

>>706294
Hiro, have you thought about a rotating board structure? That way you can keep all the boards but pick which ones are active at any given time. For example, you take less active boards and turn a few of them off for 2 months , then you open them back up and close another set for 2 months. That would lower your costs without having to permanently delete boards, just temporarily delete them.

Hiroyuki, listen to me.
We don't need /hr/ anymore. It's literally just a waste of server space. All it is is people dumping huge images of girls, and there are other boards for that. Please remove it, it was a bad idea from the start.

Delete /co/, /mu/, /v/, and /pol/. These boards are the worst offenders when it comes to bringing in traffic from other websites.

Also, don't delete /a/, but just lock it for a while or do to it what moot did to /pol/. It's in need of some serious cleansing.

J-List must have pulled the plug. They were responsible for something like 98% of 4chan ads. I don't know what else Hiro could be referring to. I mean, they're a webshop, they know exactly what an ad is worth to them since they can easily track conversions. I guess 4chan wasn't worth it anymore?

I don't care about archives either since only the last few threads get archived.
What bothers me more is that for /a/ foolz (or whatever is the name of the succesor) does not support search so it's useless anyway even if there are old threads.

I recently rewatched moot's q&a stream, and at one point he said that it wasn't inconceivable anymore that 4chan could last 20 years or more. This could definitely have been true back when he left 4chan, but holy shit, at this rate it doesn't seem that likely anymore.

>>706513
I think they would eventually migrate (though it'd take a while and would probably be pretty messy,) but otherwise I agree. I just think it's better to pop the cyst that is /pol/ and get it over with than letting it fester and get even worse. They'd probably get banned, get pissy and move over to cripplechan, and eventually fuck off completely.
>>706514
Yeah, that's the point. Bandwidth is a very large cost factor, and /pol/ is one of the largest boards yet simultaneously does nothing good for the site. You can say at the every least /b/ contains it's shit, but /pol/ leaks all over the place. It'd benefit both the upkeep costs and the culture of the site as a whole to delete /pol/.

>>706568
Yeah, bring back text boards and make some boards text only. Do you need images for /lit/? No. Do you need images for /pol/? No. Those boards should revolve, primarily, around discussion and images should not be used there.

>>706591
>reduce image size to 1MB or 512 KB
I'd be fine with this, really. If you really have to post an image, it'd pay some dividends for people here to learn how to compress and edit images like a much higher proportion could 10-12 years ago. If someone wants a link to a hi-res version of an image, just link to the source, off-site.

>>706367
As long as /t/ doesnt get axed (I dont care about JAV porn but I like some of the other shit thats floating around. Sometimes they have some less popular movies and stuff like that. Great to look around if you want to find something to watch)

That said maybe fuse some boards, it would be sad if those board cultures die just like that.

lad, how about you stop adding useless boards like /news/.

delete /asp/, /pol/ aka le more racism /int/, and /int/ aka le flag /b/.

These pass signatures will just derail threads. If you want to incentivize people to buy passes, you can do a lot of other things that don't detract from regular threads.

If things are truly this dire, then I'd say you should do a mixture of the first and third options. Making the image filesize limits harsher for non-pass users but letting passfags have the old filesize cap would be a start.

Hiro please add a system that lets the users vote on other posters' posts depending on how relevant they think they are to the discussion.
This would improve the quality of discussions significantly and result in productive conversations, in which both sides of an argument are represented.

Comments would be sorted by most votes, users would get points tied to their names/trips which will reveal their Contribution points (CP) to other users, this encourages quality discussion since it would lead to a higher amount of Contribution points next to your name.
Comments which score below a certain threshold of CP will be hidden and reported to the mods.

With the number of 3rd party archivers and how often they scrape from the site, the staff should really email them and ask them to reduce the level of archiving. If some posts and threads that are close to death miss out on a few archived posts, so be it.

Compared to the days of the greenoval archive, in early 2008, archivers now are much faster and collect a lot more data. I'm sure they account for quite a lot of traffic.

What about getting rid of the "Archives" on each board? Those have a ton of images hosted and they're not necessary. Some of them go back way too long.

>>706294
If you want to reduce site traffic to a manageable level, delete /pol/. There will be fallout for a few weeks and moderators will have to do more work, but after that they will move to another site.

/pol/ is attracting countless (unwanted) visitors from all over the web because of their obnoxious racism and memes. If you take a look at the traffic stats for each board I guarantee it will just be a constant large increase in traffic to /pol/.

/pol/ is a stain on 4chan. Nobody from any other board likes people from /pol/ and they ruin almost every thread they touch. They can't even make quality memes, evidenced by the fact that no one outside of /pol/ actually enjoys the memes they produce. They are just racist shitposters who can't even stay on their own board.

This site is better off without /pol/. Most of the 4chan user base has grown up after being here for a good 8+ years. Gone are the days of 4chan being an edgy kids hideout. A sizeable population of people here are actually adults now who don't want to read senseless racism and political conspiracies everywhere they go.

>>706613
