Why can't the textboards be brought back?

That's a good question dude. Sleepsort was the best algorithm ever.

because even if the 10 people who actually use them bought passes, it still wouldn't be enough to cover the cost of running them, supposedly.

Why? Imageboards are superior in every way to textboards. You can post pictures here!

That doesn't make any sense. How can a text-only board of ten people cost more than $200 a year?

What a putrid post. Out.

sometimes it just becomes too much

the only valid reason they were shut down is because they arent worth the moderation they require

>>60565
How can that be? A totally pointless new imageboard called, ugh, /bant/ was created recently. If they can peel enough mods off for that retarded shit, why can't a single mod be alerted to delete spam and floods from the textboards as needed?

Has anyone considered that it may not be a moderation issue, but a developer issue? 4chan doesn't have many, if even more than one, dedicated developers.

Bug fixes in whatever textboard software would fall on the blue palm tree man, along with making the textboard software compatible with 4chan's current moderation tools, and, presumably, porting the inline extension to the textboards. Plus, making the textboards compatible with 4chan's public api.

All that for the two people who would actually use the textboards.

There used to be textboards, that is the point.
