>>49605866
What do you think it will accomplish? The users won't suddenly pack up and leave 4chan. They'll still be MYFAROG and SJWs ruining tabletop threads on /tg/ regardless.

/pol/ already doesn't function as a containment board at all though.

>>49605911
Unless Hiroshima just bans /pol/ism on all other boards and sends them to /trash/, but then Tumblr will start to flood us because they'll think we're accepting them or something.

Just delete the literally who boards and redundant shit.

/3/, /gd/, /i/, /ic/ and /p/ could all be merged.

Why are /hc/ and /gif/ seperate boards?

Why do we need seperate wallpapers (anime), wallpapers (general) and high resolution image boards?

/vp/ and /vr/ could be made into /vg/ generals.

If they really needed to trim we could merge /e/ and /h/.
And /eh/ would be a funny name for a board.

Personally I think /soc/, /b/, /trash/ and [s4s] are useless shit holes that contribute nothing. But I guess people use them.

>>49605922
every second they shitpost there to themselves is a second they don't shitpost everywhere else

I'm ready to turn of the adblock to keep that shitheap up and running

>>49605922
Yeah, but when /pol/ was deleted no less than three times before, it's members came and shat up the other boards because, as was described in a bretty good post by an anon of ages past, /pol/ is the new furries and needs to shout their political beliefs about everything and call you a cuck if you say it's shit.

/pol/ keeps the very worst of that out, even if a few slip out and make threads on /tg/ shit.

>>49605751
>>49605758
>>49605763

You forgot that the small, niche boards with little to no traffic can be removed and no one would miss them.

Or buy a pass. It's 15-20 bux a year and it means no more shitty goddamn captcha bullshit, it actually is a good deal. Plus, it supports the site and helps keep it going, but mostly it makes your posting massively less frustrating. Inb4 I get accused of shilling

You should've made an exception for 4chan years ago.

They are the fastest, most populated boards, they're not going anywhere.

>>49606007
Right wing opinions.

/pol/ is a great boogeyman for left leaning people on other boards.

Whatever the topic, if it is video games, board games or cinema, there can be elements in it that can be discussed from politics.

Usually what happens is that a liberal starts bringing politics into a thread like that, and then the people in the thread who previously just discussed the topic without referencing their politics, feel the need to jump in and counter the liberals statement.
The liberal sees this as an invasion, since they couldn't spout their liberal beliefs unchallenged.

>>49606007
There is a rule to keep /pol/ in /pol/.

>>49606007
I might hate the far progressive left, but when I go to /tg/ I want to discuss traditional games, not why whites are the superior race.

Just start shaking users down for donations. if that's enough to keep fucking Wikipedia alive it could work for 4chan.

>>49606068
And that's why we need /pol/, /b/, and /v/ up, because it's containment against the absolute flood of what would happen if any of those boards broke containment. Like you see threads about people being "le Marxism" about a story about an old ass necromancer, or "muh racial purity" when it comes to threads about half-orcs or half-elves, like... maybe twice, three times in the archive. Every other thread is mostly on it's topic.

Imagine what would happen if /pol/tards suddenly had no place to go.

>>49606090

>>49606030

Even at age 13 I thought /b/ was a useless, unfunny waste of resources shit hole.

>>49606068

A /pol/ spotted it, and feels the need to spout their political rhetoric.

>>49606091
>>49606099
>>49606056
>>49606048

These guys have their political opinions, but don't feel the need to spout about it.

tl;dr: /pol/ really is the new furries.

>>49606064
I don't really hate it. In my experience, /b/ trash usually stays on /b/. If it was gone, /b/ would flood the board and utterly destroy everything in it's path. A necessary evil.

>>49606015
Merging some of these boards will literally cut the load those two boards make in half. Because now there's only ONE board, with the same file and thread limits as any other board.

Why don't we temporarily make the site fucking shitty to use, right? Long post timers, draconian image size limits.

All the fags will leave and the dedicated user base will stay.

Then we can open things back up after the purge.

>>49606162
>people use /news/

A lot of the /pol/ population will just leave. Most of them don't care enough to move, they just like to shitpost, just like /b/

>>49606015

You could cut the number of pages on some boards.

What would happen if /gif/ and /wsg/ were merged? Or maybe /r/ and /wsr/?

>>49606183
>>>/news/76191

/news/ seems like a /pol/ echobox desu

Remove the archive.

We can start by removing the normie boards. Who the fuck comes to 4chan for a discussion on business and finance?

>>49606201
This is one of the few all around good ideas.
There's external archives for all the main boards anyways.

>>49605918

Oh, they will leave. Sure there will be a painful year of crying before the ashes settle, but then they'll left for greener pastures (or well, echochambers).

>>49606181
Because this is not the 4chan before Nazimod happened. That already purged a lot of the old veterans from the boards, and left us with this nu-chan base.

Also 4chan was always shit, it's just a lot of vets have either packed up and left after getting bored or got banned.

I, for one, miss when 4chan was apolitical and just did shit to mess with people (Habbo Hotel raids, Project Chanology, that one time FOX News found out about us) instead of people trying to make it some weird, neo-conservative Christian machine. We were shit, but it was being shit for the lulz.

I remember when you could post about monstergirls on /tg/ without being called a "degenerate" for example.

>>49606183

How many left in the wake of the cuckening?

>>49606175
I agree with merging some of the porn boards. Especially the 3D ones because there's the entire rest of the internet for that shit.

Also merging or deleting /c/ and /cm/, deleting or merging /w/ and /wg/.

>>49606198
/gif/ would be 90% porn with an occasional YLYL thread, like how it was before /wsg/ became a thing.

>>49606210
This too. Remove /biz/, /adv/, and /diy/. Does anyone even go here to these boards for serious advice anyway? It seems like asking 4chan for actual advice is a good way to get trolled.

>>49606119
Why does /mlp/ even still exist? Is the show even still on the air? What's there to discuss anymore except which horse you want to fuck?

It's outlived its purpose.

>>49606198
Leave /wsg/ alone. Allow sound webms on all boards and delete /gif/. /hc/ makes it redundant.

>>49606238
Its still airing, they have a legit movie out next year.

>>49606238
Show is still going strong. It has like four movies and a fifth on the way. I stopped watching it years ago, and don't use the board anymore, but it's still a thing.

Do you autists solely use /tg/? Why would I quit 4chan if /pol/ was deleted when I frequent half a dozen other boards?

The problem is bandwidth, not storage. Merging or deleting boards does not address bandwidth because it doesn't remove the users from those boards. They will post elsewhere, causing more problems for those boards.

In reality, Hiro is either:
Trolling, but its hard to tell because he is retarded
or
Just begging for money and will do fucking nothing other than scare people into buying 4chan passes.

>>49606175

Yeah, it's not a bad idea. The porn boards beside /d/ don't really have a community to speak off.

>>49606281
No. Less boards bottlenecks bandwidth.

If we merged [s4s], /trash/ and /b/ then we would have what is normally three full boards of shit compressed into one. Less potential posts.

>>49606265
Because, anon, MLP broke it's containment general more than once and made /co/ into a shithole for a good while in internet terms.

It's the same reason Steven Universe and Adventure Time got such backlash against it; broke it's general to shit up the board with multiple threads about the same subject.

>>49606265
Because both the Bronies and the anti Bronies havbe dug into camps so bitter and autistic that it would make CWC's cum taste like an ambrosia.

>>49606265

I go onto /gif/ for porn, and even then it's just the same shit posted over and over. It's not even a chan culture there, really. It's more like an extended porn video comment section, with all that implies.

Seriously, here I can get at least a minimum of grammar competency. There, it's like reading a teenager's text messages.

>>49606313
/gif/ needs to go though; it's 90% tumblr reposts anyway.
And the other 10% is just reposts from threads that fell off the board a day or two earlier.

>>49606296
No. That isn't how the internet works.

If we merged [s4s], /trash/ and /b/ then we would have what is normally three full boards of shit compressed into one. All the user base of all 3 of those boards would still be posting at the rate that they do all on one board. All of them would be uploading images at the same rate, all of them would be requesting images at the same rate. All you have done is make the front page of /b/ move at twice the rate.

>>49606273
/vg/, /v/, /tg/.
/tv/ and /co/ to lesser extents.

I visit a lot of other boards for short periods of time. Like /an/, /sci/.

If all of those boards were removed I think I would still pop in on /his/ every now and then or something. Even /soc/:

The 4chan pass signature is more likely to push me away from the site than board removal.

>>49606360
and most of it is just dicks
just like /d/

>>49606347
Not to mention no one ever actually tries to look for sauce before asking for it.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen people asking for sauce when they could have just expended the minimum amount of effort required to just check the fucking archive.

Then there's the people asking for sauce when it's in the filename. I can never tell if they're serious or not.

"containment" boards have always been a mistake

either ban that shit or force them to live in the wilds of /b/ like loli and furry shit has to now

>>49606176
... It may have double the traffic, but it will still be limited to so many threads. Threads will still be limited to 300 posts before autosaging, only allow 150 images to be posted. So let's say there's a limit of... 100 threads for a board. Instead of 200 separate boards, with 600+ posts and 300+ images between them for each thread, you have just completely halved traffic for that broad subject, give or take for some boards having more and some having less traffic.

So if we took, say /c/ and /cm/ and merged them, you'd have more traffic on one board... But that doesn't matter because there would be less stress from images, which alone is a huge part of 4chan's bandwidth.

I'm not sure. My common sense wants to tell me it doesn't matter because there's less images and more text, which take less bandwidth, but I don't actually know how that board normally works. Maybe lower the image limit on those boards, since they're less reliant on them.

And then falling off because THERE'S A THREAD AND POST LIMIT. Are you fucking retarded? Do you think those images stick around forever and clog up the internet tubes? THEY VANISH. THEY GO AWAY. THEY NO LONGER EXIST. They take up no more space! They have ceased to occupy data-storage! They went to the great trash-heap in the sky! They are NO LONGER THERE. This solution works because instead of 300 images per two threads being spammed all at once, there are only 150 images per one thread being spammed all at once!

Go get two boxes, both filled with dildos. Now try to fit all the dildos into one box. What happens? They fall out, presumably into the gaping, abyssal whorecunt your mother birthed you out of. Nothing outside of the boxes matter, it may as well not even exist because no one has ever recovered a dildo from your mother's ever-hungering pussy. So, now you have one box and all the other dildos can no longer be put into the box. Now you can fit more boxes into your mother's crackhouse.

Voila, you are using less data. There is less stress on the servers. This is elementary shit, you fucking spaz.

It's consuming board space all on their own board, that's for sure, kek. Shit board aside it's irrelevant to the big hitters like the porn boards and the archives.

What if more boards (specifically the discussion based ones) became like /news/, so that only the OP can post a picture? I imagine that boards like /qst/ don't have much of a need for images that can't be fulfilled by uploading an image elsewhere and then linking to it.

>>49606273
/tg/, /pol/, and /k/.

/pol/ is far more important than you realize. I just woke up and I'm not very coherent right now, but as one if the faster boards, that means that it should generate more ad-revenue than most other boards, meaning that it's important to the site, like it or not.

Somehow moot managed to never have this problem since donateordie. What gives?

>>49605711
I hope they keep them separate, I have nothing against quests, but I don't participate in them, there are too damn many of them and they're practically impossible to filter because there are no naming standards. I'd rather not have to make a filter for each misspelling of "quest" and get 80 "Cute Loli Futanari Redeemed Succubus Super Saiyan Paladin Quest!!!!!!!1!" threads

>>49605686
>Malicious ads are actually being considered

Holy fuck who actually thought giving this guy control of the site was a good idea

>>49606591
Honestly, I would be fine if 4chan was a text board, with only a few select boards dedicated to images.

It would certainly cut down the meaningless shitposting, like "smug anime girl" reaction images.

>>49606273
I use /tg/ and /m/ mostly. When the urge for a fappening happens I might go visit /gif/ or /h/ and if something extremely stupid happens I might go by /b/ to see if they are memeing it up, but that has become rarer and rarer.

>>49606622

You know damn well who.

>>49606224

4chan didn't turn into a hub of shitlord politics because of anything 4chan did. wider internet culture did that.

>>49606273
>Do you autists solely use /tg/?
Aside from one specific general on another board (and the porn boards when I want to fap) I spend all of my screentime on /tg/.

He didn't break even he was actively hemorrhaging money and had to work on other things just to support the site. The site only started to stabilize near the end until the point where /pol/ and butthurt /v/ users harrassed the shit out of moot on top of the legal controversies that were on going to the point where even moot couldn't put up with their shit so he sold the site.

Now Hiro is realizing this site is hemorrhaging money for him as well so he has to do something to make the world's least monetizable website still run.

>>49606570
It's exactly the same as before. I support /qst/, but don't spout this bullshit. It's exactly the same, just with more shitty troll threads instead of people trying to have fun.

>>49606426
>>49606474

This.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.

I use /b/ only for loli threads. Maybe moving them to /trash/ would be a good thing both for angry spidermanfags and us sickos

>>49606646
Seriously? I need to see that.

>>49606542
You don't even know what traffic is, do you?
Traffic refers not to how many dildos are in the box(es), but how many people are looking at the boxes. If 10 people are looking at two dildo boxes, putting all the dildos into one box does not reduce the amount of people looking at those dildos. It reduces storage space, not traffic.

>>49606623
Nah, the ancient art of ASCII images would revive which is by no means a bad thing.

They're not being considered, he was mentioning them as a non-option. It's technically an option, but he brought it up mainly to bring more focus to the other two options.
It's basically "either you guys buy more passes, or I have to halve the traffic cost or allow malicious/popup ads.
Meaning the entire post boils down to "giv moni pls".

>it's members came and shat up the other boards because

/pol/ already shits up other boards. Literally every other board on the site. Every single day.

Hiro needs to implement a global rule against this, and actually enforce it.

>>49606273

Because for years retards on /tg/ preached that since you had /tg/ you didn't even need other boards. Unfortunately this meant that we've had a decent sized population who only come to /tg/ for tabletop adjacent things like elf porn instead of going to other boards.

>He might merge /tg/ and /qst/

Oh dear god no

>>49606777
God confirms.

>>49606778
Nah, he won't do that. He doesn't want to cause something controversial.

I'm honestly a bit concerned because as far as I know /tg/ is the only place I can have a decent discussion of tabletop games without walking on eggshells to avoid pissing off some mod.

I'm not even sure where I'd go.

>>49605686
Yeah, no one saw this coming when Hiroyuki took over. Nope.

>>49606774
There is a global rule that says /pol/ stays on /pol/.

I got blocked from posting for fifteen minutes when /pol/lutants shat up a board with some 19th century philosophy memes and I posted clipart wizards as a counter.

The mods seem to either like or not care about /pol/ leaking from /pol/, and since mods don't talk to users...

>>49606824
I don't think /tg/ would be affected much by whatever changes Hiroshimoot has planned, honestly.

The big boards like /pol/ and /v/ are going to feel the crunch for sure, but /tg/ has a fraction of their traffic.

>>49606833

On one hand I agree that I've assume 4chan would explode once Moot passed the torch and have been waiting for that gunpowder to ignite.

On the other hand all of the new boards put in place under Hiro have been solid additions and nothing really seemed wrong with the site since the handoff beyond a few touch and go instances in the beginning.

I agree that /tg/ will probably be fine, but part of me wants a plan B in case I wake up tomorrow and 4chan is gone.

>>49606870
You could learn to handle your problems like a normal person and not explode with indignation.

But no one who posts here is exactly stable.

>>49606859

Oh, what I wouldn't give for a 4chan with way less traffic but still active enough to have a specific feel and shit.


And before you say "Just go on cripplechan!" it's not the same. As a matter of fact, cripplechan is like a site that is all the issues with new style 4chan incarnate. It's so fucking political and self aware.

Sadly that is pretty accurate. I can't think of any other website that has a community that is this actively and openly hostile to both lurkers, its owners, and its own userbase.
The site isn't unmarketable as much as its actively trying to kill itself every second of the day.

>>49606920

4chan is like the imperium of man. It's a wonder it's existential growth is outpacing it's existential decay

/pol/ already tried the Samson Option on /mlp/ and lost to technicolor horses. /tg/ will do fine.

Besides, they can't do anymore harm than society has done to itself. The comment section of every website is far worse than 4chan. Except maybe /pol/ can spell.

>>49606855
That's because you took the bait. Just go find a better topic to post in and bump that instead.

>>49606273
Pretty much yeah, if it weren't for the alternative wargames and work in progress generals I'd have left years ago after RP stories and nazimod drama got boring for me. I sometimes got to /co/ but all they really talk about are shitty looking cartoons and superhero comics, little else gets any attention or discussion.

Ads don't work. Driveby attacks with ads are a constant problem - a worsening one, even - in 2016. moot, who was far more trustworthy than hiro, saw some malicious ads slip by on his watch.

Other suggestions:

1.) Reduce the size of the archive, or even eliminate it if necessary. Convert all archived images to .jpg thumbnails.

2.) Get someone who fucking speaks English to explain the situation, so that people feel more comfortable buying a pass or participating in a patereon/donation drive/etc.

>>49606930
Ya'll niggas in the military are always the most angry bastards on this site.

Well, besides /pol/lacks, but I can't tell if that's actual anger or just shitposting.

>Much more ads
>pop-up / pop under ads
>malicious ads

Wait, there are posters who don't use ad and script blockers?

>>49606996

/pol/ is pathological anger


The Military (for me anyway) just makes me mad because they're trying to make a radical environmentalist hippie from New York City like me act like some faggot ass "professional" with sirs and ma'ams and shit. I can deal with it at work, but when I get home I either sleep or shitpost because I feel my soul die a little bit more every day

>>49607052
Why the hell would you ever join the military if you hate professionalism and discipline so much? Are you an idiot?

>>49607052
Didn't they beat the individuality out of you specifically so you can work as a cohesive unit in the military?

Boot camp's all about that, innit?

Then again, that's why I could never join the military. That and every person I know who HAS joined the military has suddenly become a radical militant who thinks that in a modern day society, everyone acting like a soldier would be a good thing.

That and a desire to massacre civilians.

>>49606691
Moot literally said he had to inject money into the site to keep it running in what you quoted you mong.

>>49607037
Why the fuck would you? 4chan does a great job of making its ads unobtrusive, and some of them are even funny. On top of that 4chan is a non-profit website so those ads help keep it up and running.

This latest season has been more hit-and-miss than any before (and my personal least-favourite episode of all time) but the majority still range from okay to great. IIRC at the moment it's planned to go on until at least 2020 or something crazy.

I heard the upcoming movie got a lot of DEEPEST LORE cut from it due to executive meddling though, which is gonna suck. Apparently those dipshits want it to be super accessible to people who have never watched even a single episode, and I can't think of a single instance where that hasn't caused a significant drop in quality.

>>49605686
Oh for fucks' sake, he adds six new boards in the year he's owned the fucking site and he acts like it's strange that shit is costing a fuckton more than before he bought it. Here's the solution, people.
>move /qst/ back in with /tg/. One, /tg/ is already cancer with all the fucking generals that half of which turn into furry shit or bitching at developers. Two, you have a filter and if a quest is obvious shit, it'll drop off fast under the storm of generals you fuckers make.
>no /wsr/ board. For fucks' sake, every board has people who claims about them hating work and it's probably because they get bitched at for not doing their work when they're supposed to. Just do your fucking work and request your shit on the appropriate boards when you're off work
>/news/ goes with /pol/. Don't make the board-equivalent of Lucina in Smash then complain about higher costs, it's the same shit on both boards except /news/ is shittier.
>/asp/ goes back with /sp/. You're all sports fags, just accept it.
>/his/ doesn't really have any equivalent to be placed under, so make the choice of keeping it or dumping it. I like it enough, but fucking dump it if it's that expensive as you say.
>/aco/ just needs to be put back with whatever fapbait board it came from.

Streamline this shit enough, and there won't be any need for ads, slower servers, and limit upload sizes.

>>49607305
New writers for Season 6, and I'm thinking there was paperwork posted for more seasons (the hiring, rent paying papers that they'll keep the production facilities going).

A new Equestrian Girls just got delivered and images got leaked for another one.

Oh, and I can't forget the /tg/ spinoff Guardians of Harmony. It's premise is that the little dragon brother stayed Godzilla sized and that the series had to fight more monsters instead of friendship problems. Twilight doesn't go Alicorn there, so I know a lot of people will return for it.

Oh, and lots of new toys and branching out with the GoH stuff.

PS, it outsells the Transformers comic.

Honestly, probably reddit. Niche and hobby boards there are surprisingly good and aren't overmoderated from what I've gathered, though you'll still get buried if you're a prick about everything.

Maybe a discord, on top of whatever else, but from what I hear those are good at causing people to splinter even more.

>>49607258
I agree with >>49607342. /wg/ and /w/ should be merged.

/aco/ can go because we already have /d/

>>49607367
If this isn't just lies, there are boards that should've been straight up deleted ages ago.

All 3DPD porn boards have to go, massive traffic and nothing but cancer.
All normalfag shit like /soc/, /adv/, /lgbt/ etc have to go.

All that shit should've been purged years ago, it's so far off topic from 4chan's original purpose it's disgusting.

>>49605839
Oh so they're already on suicide watch.

>>49607438

Just re-merge them and don't call it "hentai alternative" just like

"Alternative drawn porn" or something. Get rid of that east/west divide.

Same sick shit

Hell, if he's smart, he'll just work out the traffic:data ratios for each board, post those, and then limit the boards accordingly

>Streamline this shit
Pretty much.

There are no naming standards for quests, meaning you have to make a billion filters for each misspelling of "quest", and some quests don't even bother to include "quest" in the title.

Consolidate porn boards to /d/, /2d/, and /3d/. They day of autistic weaboos screaming about grorious nippon art folded 10000 times is over.

>>49607577

>>49607577
Or make it an enforced reportable rule instead of relying on people to lurk more. At the fucking least.

Most of the quests that got booted with the move had Quest or Quest: in the title, but Skirmish/Risks/MechaMercs/CYOA were untouched.

/qst/ is to young of a board to delete. IRC a lot of the quest threads that plagued /tg/ were quests from other boards. Especially /a/ which is why there were a ton of magical girl quests. I'd also wait and see how much traffic it generates first be for putting up on the chopping block.

I do agree that boards should be streamlined though.
I think /news/ can stay it serves the same niche that /biz/ does. It is important to have a distinction between news and politics. Boards like /w/, /aco/, /hr/, /wsg/, and /mlp/ should be either deleted or merged with other boards.

It's kind of both. Really, it's /pol/, but for some reason you only ever see the right wing folks behaving in properly /pol/ fashion. I'd hate the left, too, if a welfare mom took time out of her day to post on /tg/ about how the patriarchy is ruining society, but it just doesn't happen often enough to generalize to the group in the same way.

Tons of respect for the sane right folks, though - you guys have the challenging job of justifying your views AND explaining why they don't mean you're on board with the nutjob who keeps following you around shouting "GAS THE JEWS"

Deleting /mlp/ would be like deleting /pol/ but with horses instead of right-wingers - and from what I've seen on this site the general user base seems to be completely incapable of not throwing a gigantic fit upon seeing a cartoon pony, unlike /pol/ stuff.

You are vastly underestimating the sheer shitstorm potential that /mlp/ is keeping contained.

>Midnight in Gotham

There are three that I can think of, though admittedly two are old and one is a Bromont (who was a total piece of human garbage) quest.

>Cosplay needs to be moved out of Jap Culture category because it's not just Anime cosplay
>Get rid of Flash
>Merge Transportation with Auto
>Otaku Culture sounds like cancer containment board, so keep it or dump it.
>Fucking merge the Video Game boards. If /tg/ can garble the knots of furry generals every day, so can /v/.
>Tech should merge with Science & Math, science people with science people, what's not to love?
>/asp/ with Sports board
>Outdoors and the Nature board need to merge
>/tg/ gets merged with the quests from /qst/ that actually use the word Quest in their title
>/his/ needs to get merged or dumped, so maybe with International? Not sure on how the latter would feel about it.
>Oekaki is literally nothing, so dump it
>Papercraft/Photography/Fashion merge with Artwork along with General Wallpapers
>3DCG and Graphic Design Merge

There, argue about it, tell me I'm full of shit. I just think 31 boards are better than roughly 68 boards and would be more cost-effective.

>>49607657
Making it into a rule would probably work for the purpose of getting the label on but people weren't appeased with filtering in the first place.

>>49607867
I don't care about idiots who want to be "appeased" I just want my filters to work.

>>49607861
>Tech should merge with Science & Math, science people with science people, what's not to love?
This is the one and only I completely agree with.

>>49607861
/mlp/ can't be deleted. You'd have to remove Rule 15, which would cause more problems.

Because the real issue wasn't people posting multicolored equines,

IT WAS EVERYONE ELSE BLOWING UP BECAUSE OF IT.

Seriously, how does My Little Pony become the bug bad 4chan's trigger?

WE NEED TO REMOVE /a/, /b/, /c/, /d/, /h/, /s/, /w/, AND /y/

>>49607657
CYOA isn't a problem like mislabeled quests or shit generals, and Risk threads are far and few lately (though I might have missed it since I don't check much). Don't know about the other two you mentioned though.
>>49607680
I like quests (at least the good ones), but I didn't want a whole board for it. If anything, the /qst/ board quests are even more cancerous because there's a lot of shitty ones that never go anywhere beyond 3-5 threads or less and they just sit there, taking up space.

Current News is literally covered by either International or /pol/, so fuck it in my opinion. Besides, it's not like /pol/ is fully political half the time since usually, they go into social justice bullshit that doesn't technically touch political matters. You are right on the others though, which is why my list has them merged with other shit.

>>49607907
Yeah, I never gave a shit about mlp, but I remember seeing someone post [random /tg/ comment] with a picture of a pony and seeing 4-5 people replying to that post flipping their shit over the image

Then again, if I couldn't read a Time Magazine article about how "4chan prides themselves on being the asshole of the Internet, but they maintain a strict rule about posting My Little Pony images outside of the designated containment board", I don't know if my life would be as high-quality as it is.

>>49607907
Because internet bronies are like the IRL smelly fat guy who sprinkles words like "baka" and "sugoi" into his speech for no real reason.

>>49607861
>merging /g/ with /sci/
No. No no no no no. That is retarded. While /g/ and /sci/ are both somewhat related through STEM. Both boards cover completely different topics. It would be like merging /tg/ with /v/.
I agree with most of the other stuff though.

>>49607946
>4chan prides themselves on being the asshole of the Internet
That's not how you spell "Tumblr."

>>49607932
You're missing the point. The issue isn't number of boards, the issue is data consuming boards. /news/ literally has one picture per thread. Merging/removing it won't do shit.

>>49607932
>>49607657
Risk threads have been getting deleted

>>49607979
Every little bit helps. Besides, one of the options listed by Hiro was remove some boards so it'll help in some way. Besides, I'd rather streamline the boards than limit the image sizes.

Also, can someone explain Oekaki? Looking in there, I have no idea what it's supposed to be for.

>>49607981
Huh, so explains why they moved to /qst/ as well... Hmm, not really sure what to do with Risk threads then.

>>49607981
Based.

>Fucking merge the Video Game boards. If /tg/ can garble the knots of furry generals every day, so can /v/.

/tg/ generals are nowhere near as massive as /vg/ ones in terms of thread size and numbers. I know you're salty that generals got to stay in /tg/ while quests got kicked out, but there just isn't enough space in a single board to host /v/ and /vg/.

If you really want to do some /v/ sideboard cleanup you could kill /vp/ and make it a general in /vg/, then kill /vr/. I like /vr/ but it's mostly dead and it's not like retro games aren't talked about on /v/ anyway. Worst case a dedicated general could cover that whole board.

Just delete the 3D porn boards and you wouldn't have to do anything else, though /qst/ and /news/ should be removed too as they're redundant.

Nuke /gif/ and /wsg/. There's never any actual discussion on either of them, and the image dumps are nothing but reposts of reposts of reposts of tumblr posts.

>>49608055
So you want quests on /tg/?

>>49608055
I would say /po/ is more redundant than either of those.

>>49608081

It is a containment board, that's why it would be stupid to remove it.

No.

I guess I'd say that I do, although I don't keep up with them anymore so I would just end up filtering quests. I wish I could still get invested in them.

>>49608083

>>49608134
The problem as many anons have said is that people either misspell quest or leave it out of their titles. Basically, it needs to be enforceable in some way that you have to include the word quest to make sure it's caught by filters (maybe also giving the OP the ability to edit the title in case they fuck up and need to include Quest).

/a/ doesn't need to "take over" for cute, just axe them.
>Fucking merge the Video Game boards. If /tg/ can garble the knots of furry generals every day, so can /v/.
This is probably the most ignorantly retarded thing in your post. You really shouldn't be comparing generals here, to those on /vg/.
>Tech should merge with Science & Math, science people with science people, what's not to love?
You clearly don't browse either board if you're saying that.
>Adult Requests/Gif with High Res and Hardcore
Just delete them. Merging won't solve everything.

For the most part, everything else seems not bad.

>>49607861
>>49608140
Addendum

/a/ and /m/ are really different, so only merge as a last resort. Basically the only similarity is that both like Japanese animations. Plus /m/ is leagues slower than /a/, so it would get squished.

The video game boards combined would be a bloody nightmare. It would be like combing 10 other small boards.

/asp/ is so full of wrestling shit that /sp/ would get practically swept under the rug.

Deleting /mlp/ would be like deleting /pol/.

>>49608259
/m/ is also toku and sentai, which do not go on /a/ at all.

>>49608241
>Exactly one title change per thread
>Original title becomes mouseover text afterwards
>[no title] and [deleted] become placeholders for deleted or created titles
Good? Bad?

>>49608231
Forgot a few things.
>/a/ doesn't need to "take over" for cute, just axe them.
Additionally, /w/ should be merged with /wg/, not /a/. And /m/ should stay, it's not just a mecha-focused /a/.
>Otaku Culture sounds like cancer containment board, so keep it or dump it.
You should stop offering opinions on boards you've never browsed, man. /jp/ is a successfully contained board, it needs to stay.

>>49608291
It sounds manageable.

I have no idea how difficult it is to implement board features tho.

>>49608231
>axe cutes
Fair enough
>Video Game
Like someone else said, just kill /vr/ because it's dead and talked about on /v/ and make /vp/ a general on /vg/. I'll be honest, over 3/4ths of the boards are ones that I don't visit, so if I'm wrong about something, go ahead and say it.
>Tech one
Again, they just come off to me as if they could be covered by the same board. If that's how you feel about the topic, then fine, keep them both.
>Axing the listed adult boards
That's fine with me.
>>49608241
/tg/ wants quests to burn anyways, lets see how long it takes.
>>49608259

Could /m/ be covered by Otaku then?

>>49608111
>Snow
>Lava

W-What am I supposed to do with this?

>>49608312
Fine, keep it. Also, if /w/ belongs with /wg/, then have Hiro merge them.

>>49608329
>Could /m/ be covered by Otaku then?
No, fucking tripshitter. Try visiting somewhere other than /tg/ or the 3D porn boards.

>>49608346
Cell phones are devices that allow people access to elemental powers at the push of an app. Snow and Lava are starters.

>>49608329
/vp/ wasn't created just to solve an issue on /v/, it was created to solve issues on a shitload of other boards as well, you'd need several threads on /vg/ (various different types of pokemon games) and a thread or 2 on /a/ as well at the very least

and if you don't visit a board don't talk about it, some of the mergers you proposed would be on the level of merging /v/ with /tg/ (they're both games)

>>49607795
Are you seriously expecting naming conventions for quests on a) a board that no longer allows them and b) a board dedicated to them? Fucking look at what you're typing .

>>49608329
/jp/ is a 2hu and weeb containment board.
/m/ is a comfy robo-board.

I doubt merging would go over well.

>>49608346
>Snow
>Lava
>Cell Phones
>W-What am I supposed to do with this?

First thought is a countdown-type game where you're all trapped between an imminent DAY AFTER TOMORROW-style snowpocalypse and an imminent VOLCANO-style volcano, and your only useful piece of equipment is a cell phone that you can use to guide rescuers, but I like this one better >>49608367

>>49608394
He's saying that the practice of putting "quest" in the title of a quest thread was a courtesy being shown to the filterfags.

>>49608394
Anon did not think this through.
Though, I believe he was likely typing about the past?

>>49605686
Delete /pol/, it full of retards and people who worship frogs and other inane nonsense.

>>49608346
Not that guy but I like this idea.

A lot.

What others should these cell phone elementals get? Is the good shit behind a paywall or something?

>>49605686
So many of the generals here consolidate pdfs on Mega or just give a link to another dl site so it's not a big deal. It would be a missed funcitonality, but really not a big deal. Or hell, we're the only board to support it so maybe we'll get a pass if it isn't much of a factor in cost.

Which also means that people who overspend on the app become soulless husks, driven mad and murderous by microtransactions.

>>49608430

Even if he meant the past, what's his point? He's using filter-slipping as a point against quests when naming convention was only ever a courtesy, and never a stickied rule.

>at Tier 3, players unlock the ability to buy "Soul Trap" and take other peoples souls

>>49608631
Where could you put Bad Dragon ads without triggering 'muh furries' autists, though? Certainly none of the high-traffic boards, which is where any business would want them.

>>49608602
How many people have been stated to use 4chan monthly? While I don't care for Patreon (since some faggots use it as an actual paywall), it would probably work with 4chan since the only thing the site does is facilitate an anonymous discussion on boards and they can't use Patreon to hide part of the boards. Depending on how much of the userbase decides to donate (and/or buy 4chan Passes), it could be a good way of earning the money.

Plus that would mean people like me wouldn't suggest stupid board mergers.

But guys, if it's an app and a game what the hell is the game in the first place? Like, objectives and shit.

4chan never made any fucking money, why do you think Moot sold it?

it already has huge operation costs and adding frivolous boards like asp and qst just take up bandwith. sorry the plan to turn this place into nothing but sub-reddits was out of your budget range chinese moot.

How the fuck is removing boards supposed to help? Deleting a board doesn't delete its population. The only way to actually reduce traffic is to start banning people left and right, or just fuck everything up until they leave on their own. Maybe that's what he's trying to do with this announcement.

>>49608831

I thought Moot sold it because 4chan was starting to cramp the hip tech industry professional image he wanted to have. It's hard to maintain that image when you're King Shitlord.

If it was about money Moot would have dumped it years ago when it was actually a burden on him.
