>>111776Wow. That's pretty hilarious.
They should delete boards like /pol/ and /r9k/, then after a week of complete chaos delete the entire site. The milk would be rediculous. Other boards going to shit as they're invaded by deleted board refugees, reddit political subreddits going bat shit, shitty political youtubers going bat shit.
No. 111781
>>111776They have a shitload of useless boards.
Just off the top of my head:
/wsr/, /trv/ (nobody posts there, it's slow af), /c/ (it's basically /a/ anyway), /r/ (pointless with all the saucefags getting spoonfed on literally every porn board), /s/, /t/, /w/ (why not just merge it with /wg/?), /i/, /s4s/, /po/ and a bunch of others. Half of those boards should really be one board. Why does /cgl/ have to be for both cosplay and lolita but all that useless cancer gets its own board? I get /mlp/, /b/ and /r9k/ but there's 10 different boards related to arts and crafts when there should only be 1 since they're all slow af. Why are there 90000 different sex boards?
And they even created more useless boards for some reason like /aco/ or whatever it's called.

Damn, I'll be sad to see it go, even though I haven't been there in a few years. First Totse (anyone even remember that place?) and now 4chan.
Aside from lolcow and 8chan, is there even anywhere else to go that's decent?

It's either that or the site will only sunk lower and lower in order to be maintained. You read hiroshima's post. It's either more ads or shittier servers. Because I don't think enough 4chan passes will be sold out of simple pity.
No. 111931
>>111920It's neither. Moot said the site was financially set for a few more years before they'd need to try to raise some money, that servers were all fine at this point.
Hiro's got a habit of screwing over forums he's in charge of for money, and this "either we do 4chan Gold but real, or I'll add invasive ads" for an issue that doesn't even seem to be real is just part of it.
That's what'll end up killing the site, that he'll just keep on trying to make more money from it until it ends up like SA, and irrelevant.

>>112327The issue is that anime communities in general are fucking awful, they're full of kids with terrible, indiscriminate taste. /a/ is pretty good at self moderation and is very intolerant of newfags. There's plenty of waifufagging, but most people there have already discussed the best anime to death and can now indulge in seasonal shit and fapping. Either way, it's a big, fast moving board so there are also plenty of legit threads with proper discussion too.
No. 112337
>>112277not even really an oldfag but it seems to me that 'unabated opinions and discussion' have been giving into a general hivemind mentality. which, imo, means the general appeal of 4chan has been dying swiftly over the last few years.

>>112357Honestly, the whole "Reddit is normie cancer" shit is just a meme.
Find a small niche subreddit for whatever you're looking for, and it'll be filled with the sorts of people who look for niche communities on it.
Any huge internet community will be fucking shit and full of mostly teenagers being teenagers.
>>112337Political movements and self righteous teenagers are what's killing the community of the site in my opinion. Of course, they've always been there, but somewhat prosecuted. Moot hated Chanology and GG, and he deleted /r9k/ twice because it was just the shitty self diagnosing oppression olympics part of Tumblr but with more dicks, but ever since the new admin came in, he's just ignored all of that shit, and focused on trying to make as much cash from the site as he can, as quickly as he can, same as he did with 2ch, by lying and scamming.
Honestly though, the site mostly sucks at this point, short of a few smaller boards, there's not really much to lose anymore unless you like people forcing politics or robot shit in every thread.

So far I've been enjoying the long hair community, they're mostly old or middle aged ladies that talk about hair and soapmaking and stuff like that with a healthy sprinkling of metalheads. It's nice and comfy but a bit slow and monotonous. They also dress like the elderly hippies they are (which is to say, horribly) and cosplay Celts and Tolkien characters.
I wish there was a better, more exciting alternative but eh

And so is Martin "Raised Drug Prices Exponentially" Shkreli wants to get in on some of that too.

Tell me that doesn't scream of "advertiser's playground". Can't wait till Apple pays for r/apple to be a default subreddit every time a product launches.
Reddit's the one that's dead.
And there's nowhere to jump ship. I just want cat pictures and a news forum that isn't /pol/…

I went on 4chan yesterday while the boards here were being slow and I literally got cancer.
This place works out great for me so far. I just found out about it a few weeks ago from Reddit. I agree with whoever said earlier that Reddit is full of "normies."
While this place is awesome I do wish it was more active mine-to-minute. But that's probably just because I have too much time on my hands lol. If it was more active here, then it'd get shitty like 4chan eventually. Right? So idk, it seems like we are in that perfect "sweet spot" here.
I wonder how much moot made off 4chan? I read somewhere it was a couple million, which tbh seems a little low to me. What is he up to now? I guess I'm saying if anyone has any moot gossip, I'm interested.

Why is it considered dying? Can i guess why? Newfags or some half assesed reason i would think it would get enough traffic to be supported financially but I'm doubting random anonymous users give a fuck about donations on a site like 4chan where the literal purpose is anonymity for the sake of shitposting without consequence. I don't "get" 4chan as a site it seems to be permeated with weabs which adds to it being off putting and cringy. I mostly lurk anyway so I couldn't care less if it just disappeared tomorrow, it's pretty hard to take a site that archives shitposting on a regular basis seriously.

He pretty clearly does understand English though, no-one buys a forum in a language they don't understand, or at the very least they don't personally admin it, they'd have a spokesperson who was fluent in the language.
Plus, from memory he got an education at an English speaking college.
