Hiro please stop making unneeded boards
Don't make the Fan Fiction board. Don't make any other boards. We don't need or want to become some bloated 300 board wasteland.
Stop shilling faggot
fuck off we voted and more people wanted his than didn't want /his/
i don't care about fanfiction.
fuck off
>>322638
get rid of /a/ and their sub boards if we need more room imo.
>>322638
>I don't want a board I don't like
how about not browsing it retard
Agreed. /qa/ needs to fuck off with this "create a bazillion boards!!!!" reddit bullshit.
>>322666
Sounds like a recipe for disaster, unleashing a horde of autistic weeaboos on a bunch of boards with a now thinly spread userbase and moderation
>>322724
It's more than just one board.
Hiro doesn't understand that making a different sub-board for everyone that wants one is a bad thing.
>>322656
Who voted? A single spammer in a strawpoll? 20 random people in a random thread on /qa/? This should not be how boards are decided.
4chan doesn't need 300 boards to appease every single possible specific topic. There are other places for that.
>>322780
This site is for weeb shit, the others are the ones who invaded it and need to leave or be forced to leave.
If you delete some boards that no longer serve their purpose, it could add some breathing room.
>/mlp/
The pony craze died like 2 years ago, as did (most of) the people who get triggered by the mere sight of a pony reaction image. There's no reason we need to keep a board that has devolved into nothing more than a massive autism circlejerk.
>/vp/
Another ultra-niche autism board that doesn't even have much discussion of the games/shows and is mostly just circlejerking about waifus and shit.
I honestly don't get why everyone shills Hiro so much
>panders to vocal minorities that get triggered by a few letters
>acts like an autist to take away attention from the fact that he's bringing 4chan closer to the shithole that is mainstream media
>meanwhile people play his game with the countless Hiro appreciation threads
I don't want to be negative but I fucking hate Hiro
Honestly, give me a reason to like him
>>322827
>Pokémon is ultra-niche
This is bait.
>>322828
He's trying, he's just naive
>>322814
People have been wanting a /his/ board for far longer than I'm willing to bet you've been coming here. Moot has repeatedly denied us from getting it through the years, but it's always been highly requested. If you want to talk about pointless boards, delete crap like /po/, /f/, /n/ and all those niche porn boards that nobody uses. /his/ actually has a lot of demand and is a perfectly reasonable board concept.
>>322839
I was asking about the fan fic board, not /his/
>>322835
If you think he's as stupid as he acts then you're the naive one
>>322842
maybe you should learn to read because I said in my original post "I don't care about fanfic"
hiro wants to do it let him find out if it works or not. what do you care?
>>322843
If you think he understands 4chan you're wrong.
He ran 2ch, the 300 board website full of duplicate boards so that trips could have their drama without having bump elbows with each other's egos. That's what he thinks is acceptable.
That's what he'll make here if he doesn't learn better.
6 /v/s 4 /a/s 5 /pol/s /bane/ and /bane2/ and a copy of the 200 most popular subreddits
>>322828
lol faggot, Hiro actually makes this place feel like the 4chan of old again instead of the super sterile and accessible model moot was trying to pursue.
>panders to vocal minorities that get triggered by a few letters
Word filters have been a thing for a long time as an attempt to curb obnoxious memeing. The words that were filtered were fucking annoying and deserved to be filtered.
>acts like an autist to take away attention from the fact that he's bringing 4chan closer to the shithole that is mainstream media
How is he trying to bring 4chan closer to mainstream media?
>meanwhile people play his game with the countless Hiro appreciation threads
Maybe because he actually listens to and responds to the userbase for once instead of moot who constantly ignored and was almost embarrassed to come here in his later years as admin.
>>322827
/vp/ and /mlp/ both are active and living communities.
I agree. Please Hiro, Ignore all the people asking for a tinfoil, furry and fan fiction board.
/his/ is fine.
>>322724
making boards affects other boards silly.
>>322892
Fanfics aren't allowed on /lit/. This will literally not affect /lit/.
>>322827
>The pone craze died out 2 years ago
>That's why it's always in the top 15 of boards speedwise.
>Pokemon is ultra-niche

>>322839

These are the types of faggots that browse /qa/, and there's a love on here.
>>322892
Only times it ever happens is because the userbases clash and need more breathing room or mod fiat.

>wordfilters
Do you honestly think it's possible for 4chan to be a happy happy hugbox?
>mainstream media
Selling 4chan data to the big advertisement brokers just like reddit, Tumblr and every other social media site. It's only a matter of time before we get corporate shills here as well.
>Hiro threads
I'm actually glad that Moot didn't do anything to the site in recent years. It wasn't broken then, and it isn't broken now, but it will be if Hiro thinks he can appease everyone that complains.
I guess in the end it's all about the conflict between people like you who think 4chan can be a "safe" place and people like me who think that there will always be something that irritates someone.
Adding in more boards just to satisfy a cross section of posters is a terrible, terrible idea. We have known this for years, moot even talked about it during his farewell.
And then animootrix comes in and adds more boards and they're full of problems.
Gr8
All we need is /l/ and it'll be perfect.
>>322972
I think this drama about word filters is pretty ridiculous desu.
If you were here longer than a year, you'd know that filtering isn't censoring at all. It's pretty funny how you guys get triggered only because you have to be not retarded to post your annoying shit.
How is baka hugging btw?
>>322638
/aco/ was unnecessary, I agree but /his/ was a good idea. I enjoy that board very much.
>>322972
>>Do you honestly think it's possible for 4chan to be a happy happy hugbox?
>not liking word filters
Your new is showing
>>322972
>Do you honestly think it's possible for 4chan to be a happy happy hugbox?
How new.
The old wordfilter list from 2003-05 era was 10x larger than those silly few words he filtered.
And it was great.
It wasn't supposed to create a nice little hugbox, it was meant to deliberately piss people off.
MUH CENSORING AND FREEDUM EAGLES. pfft.
>Selling 4chan data to the big advertisement brokers just like reddit, Tumblr and every other social media site. It's only a matter of time before we get corporate shills here as well.
MUH ADVERTISIN. MUH SHILLS. Fuck off /pol/v/. Get deleted already.
>I'm actually glad that Moot didn't do anything to the site in recent years. It wasn't broken then, and it isn't broken now, but it will be if Hiro thinks he can appease everyone that complains.
That is because you are new and never experienced the older 4chan in the slightest.
Current 4chan is NOT 4chan. It is a mere shadow of the once fun site that existed here.
It's a fucking run-down museum of a site.
I can't wait to all you autistic children hate this site and make a new site and leave in rebellion like 7chan and 8ch faggots did.
You will not be missed.
Oh, yeah, and we won't mind if you put an EPIC 4chan wordfilter to call it 4cancer or something similar. rofl.
>>323303
moot was a fucking lazy cunt, that is why he was afraid to add new boards. Nothing else.
EVERY SINGLE BOARD IN EXISTENCE that has ever been newly added always had a shitposting period of a couple months before all the autism calmed down.
This was true now, this was true in 2004.
>>323566
>moot was a fucking lazy cunt, that is why he was afraid to add new boards. Nothing else.
Even if he was a lazy cunt, there is no reason to add any more boards, we have enough. Putting aside the fact the mods can barely deal with the ones we have now, there is no reason to make a board for every single niche topic nor does it serve a purpose. 4chan is rooted in japanese culture and thats its main point of existence, adding more and more boards that are outside of that only serves to increase the user base and increase shitposting, both which are bad things
>>323564
Can you fuck off to your shitty sub reddit please
>>322638
I agree and it's nice to see someone using my OC ss
>>322638
>stop making unneeded boards
counter suggestion: delete /qa/ when there is no Q&A session
>>323583
Yes delete /qa/ delete /his/ and ban any new mods from the past year
>>323583
I also like this idea
>>323578
Great argument you have there, kiddo.
Not only do you know more about reddit than me, you should go there.
>>322827
>If you delete some boards that no longer serve their purpose, it could add some breathing room.
/qa/
>>323576
>increase shitposting,
Yeah, I'm sure /his/ will increase shitposting, and boards like /pol/, /v/, and /a/ are going to suffer the consequences.
>>323576
>there is no reason to add any more boards,
More like you can't understand the reasons because you are just a shitposter who is here only to shipost and whiny.
>>323687
*whine
Make an all purpose board. Change the topic of that board according to the demand of the time every month
This desu
there are far too many boards already
>>323729
>This desu
>there are far too many boards I don't browse, so delete them.
>>323687
Yes, /his/ can increase shitposting, you missed the point retard. While its only new, if it becomes popular and known for whatever is the most common topic, it can easily bring in more people, this point is indisputable. This results in a larger userbase, which in turns increases the amount of shitposting on the board and normally that will always leak onto all the others
More like your the one here to shitpost and whine. Give me a few good reasons why there should be new boards. Splitting boards is retarded, we don't need any more normalfag boards and any board that you could make, chances are, already has someone popular to discuss it that isn't total shit.
4chan isn't reddit and the like, it doesn't need a board for every topic, it was made original for Japanese culture discussions and thats were its the best
>>322638
For real stop listening to /qa/
I agree in full, if you want to have a board for everything you can fuck off to that other shitty chan
We have too many boards already, in fact a lot of them probably should be gotten rid of
>>322638
/v/ needs to split desu
>>323742
> While its only new, if it becomes popular and known for whatever is the most common topic, it can easily bring in more people, this point is indisputable.
And more people must mean only shitposters, right?
The people that /pol/, /v/, and /a/ brought and bring are much worse than /his/ could ever bring.
And there is no reason to automatically believe that these new people couldn't be better posters than you.
Sorry, you are just a paranoiac retard, just like most shitposters.
>>323742
>More like your the one here to shitpost and whine.
>N-n-no you.
That's pretty ironic, considering that I'm satisfied with the new boards, and I was just pointing out how much you are irrationally whinning about them. But, yeah, I'm the one who is whinning, not you.
> Give me a few good reasons why there should be new boards.
There are always 3 fucking obvious main reasons.
-some trends get out of hand in terms of scale.
-some subjects can't be properly discussed because of the resident dedicated shiposters of the previous board, and the people who want to discuss them need their own place.
-sometimes there is the need of a contain board, like /pol/ and /r9k/.
As you can see, the boards are entirely made because of the current users. If you don't want them, try to change all these people. Oh, wait, you can't, you can only whine and shitpost.
There is no reason to make be against new board when the current user base clearly need it. No, the fact that you don't use some boards doesn't mean that people don't need them, even if you want to believe so. Discuss what you want and let other preople discuss what they want, instead of trying to force your own peferences so much.
>we don't need any more normalfag boards
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>that's my secret club,fuck off, NORMIES! I must shitpost with my mah autistic bros!!!!
Stop whinning so much, you irrational piece of autistic garbage.
>>322827
Why did moot even create a pokemon board? There was no need for one, like it was with mlp.
>>323869
Moot pretty much had no idea what he was doing. This is no secret.
>>323869
/mlp/ was justified because of the shitfest pony threads caused on /b/
It should have stayed unlisted though
>>323877
There literally isn't a need for anymore boards though
This is getting out of control
This is not reddit, this is not 8ch, if you want a place where you can have boards for everything go to one of those places
>>323877
so vp was created as a containment board? I doubt that, but I could be wrong.
I'm guessing that moot is a pokemon fan and just decided to create a pokemon board for fun.
Hiro should delete /vp/ at once (if he's not a fan)
>>323839
>And more people must mean only shitposters, right?
It does
>The people that /pol/, /v/, and /a/ brought and bring are much worse than /his/ could ever bring.
It's not secret that /pol/ and /v/ bring in a good portion of the retards, but /a/ hardly does and is also one of the only boards left that actually give a shit about posting quality
>And there is no reason to automatically believe that these new people couldn't be better posters than you.
They won't, because more users always brings more shitposters
All 3 of those points pretty much equate to, we need to be more accessible to more topics. If the topics can't be discussed on the current board, either work something out with the mods or you go elsewhere. As I've said, this isn't reddit and we don't need something for every fucking topic. The site is best when its mainly a place to discuss niche shit, not a place for discussing everything. Instead of trying to make another board, go to a different website, because I can ensure you there is one for whatever it is your trying to fucking discuss
>>that's my secret club,fuck off, NORMIES! I must shitpost with my mah autistic bros!!!!
>>>/reddit/
Normalfag =/= /r9k/ and the 'secretclub' mentality is that people should adapt to here rather than trying to change it
>>323882
>There literally isn't a need for anymore boards though
That depends on the single case and problem.
You don't care about the problems because "This is not reddit", thankfully many people aren't as unreasonable as you.
>>323884
Go to 8ch then
They have everything you want there, no need to fuck up this place when there's already places where you can have exactly what you're asking for
>>323883
It was a trend that got out of hand in terms of scale for sure.
>>323873
>/mlp/ was justified because of the shitfest pony threads caused on /b/
Moot should of just treated them like the furrys and told them to fuck off
>>323889
>Go to X
It's funny that you are saying that while you are complaing about 4chan. It's time for you to follow your own advice.
>>323899
I'm telling you to go there because they have what you want
I'm trying to help you anonymous-senpai
>>323899
People against new boards aren't complaining about 4chan, they are just simply against trying to cater to new audiences the website wasn't even made to cater to. If you want to discuss something that isn't here, go somewhere where you can
For example, why do we even have a fucking /lgbt/ board?
>>323903
This site is turning into a shittier version of 8ch
I don't like 8ch, and I don't want this site to turn into that
But if I wanted a furry board or whatever, I would go to 8ch because they fucking have one
>>323901
But this site has already what I want and someone is fixing the remaining problems, while you are the one who is complaining.
>I'm trying to help you anonymous-senpai
Help yourself first, I don't need your help when the admin himself is helping me, anonymous-kohai.
>>323911
The problem that needs fixing is the fact that we have too many boards in the first place
>>323907
Then you know how you solve that problem? You fucking ban them, because they clearly don't belong
The argument you're presenting would be in fucking favour of shit like a eceleb board, shit we don't need
>>323904
>why do we even have a fucking /lgbt/ board?
Wasn't that to contain shit from /cm/,/soc/ and /y/ ?
>>323920
>and they need their own containment boards.
No.
They need to fuck off or adapt
>>323921
You would really like 8ch dude, I really think you should look into it
>>323920
NONE OF THOSE need their own board, the majority of them are consider a cancer on the boards they currently on. You don't make new boards, you ban them
>>323924
> Everyone else wants to give them their own containment board and then everyone will be happy.
No, seriously just stop. If you want that go to 8ch or reddit. Containment boards are retarded and pointless. You make them, they stay in there for a few months and they spill out again, plus, all that does is cause boards to be generals. Generals are fucking CANCER
>>323921
But of course there are too many board, I don't need boards that I don't browse, and people need only what I need, otherwise they aren't peopler, but trash.This site exist only for me, learn this lesson or go away.
>>323921
Just go to 8gag.
It seems to be your site
>>323927
Ban homofags from 4chan. Problem solved.
>>323924
> give them their own containment board and then everyone will be happy
You mean, you make a containment board for what everyone wants and then they ask for more containment boards. In return, resulting in the site having a few hundred different boards, all of which have only a few posters each and are generals because everything was separated?
>>323918
Yeah, and nobody is going to "fix" that problem , it can only get "worse", and nobody is going to listen to your "complaint". Just search for a shithole bad enough for you and go there.
>>323947
Consider sudoku
>>323947
Anon, your the only one trying to encourage change, while we want the status quo. Guess what, there is even a saying for this situation
Lurk moar faggot or fuck off
>>323947
You're the one who should leave, you clearly don't belong here and there's other places that you can go that have literally exactly what you want
>>323940
>you make a containment board for what everyone wants
Again, it depends on on the single case and problem.
When there are enough people, you gave them a board if it can be a good thing both for the previous board and for the new board.
It's not that hard. Posting this shitty generalization can only make you look like a tryhard idiot.
>>323955
Conform or leave newfag
>>323951
>our the only one trying to encourage change
The change is already here if you write "there are too many boards, and that's the only problem". And it will get worse, no matter what I do or I don't.
Again, just search for a shithole bad enough for you and go there.
>>323959
There's no reason to split the community like that. Cancer should be banned, not catered to
>>323974
Examples please
>>323982
It seems that all of those things pertain to the topic of their respective boards
I fail to see the issue here
>>323920
>they need their own containment boards
They don't "need" anything but to leave.
>>323974
>There is a reason when the "community" consists of 2 or 3 entirely different demographics
Using a shitty incorrect example, you mean like how a good portion of /a/ is split in either liking moe or liking mostly shounen stuff. What, are you saying we should split /a/ to /moea/, /shounenshit/ and /a/? Even better, are you saying we should have /eceleb/?
Fuck off newfag and go back to reddit, we don't need entire boards for topics. We have enough already and cancer should be ban hammered not encourged
>>323999
How are celebrities not related to television and film?
I'm not familiar with /tg/ or what questors are so you'll have to explain that one to me
Tinfoilfags have two boards already
>>324012
ebin rebuttal
>>324007
No you are the cancer and are exactly what everyone on 4chan over the years has got upset about. Instead of adapting to how the website is, you instead scream for change and demand it be made how you want it
>>324007
You're the kind of person that defends mass immigration from the third world.
>>324020
You're not helping our case
>>324027
>Give these people their own board
No. They can leave or take it to /b/ or whatever, but they should not receive special accommodation.
>>324027
Or you ban all of them and tell them to go to the thousand other websites that exist for those topics. 4chan doesn't need to cater to everyone
>>324038
Yes.
>>324038
Yes
>>324038
Yes
>>323998
>Except that there are only good reasons to "split the community" in many cases.
No there aren't
>>>/8gag/
>>324045
I disagree with your disagreement
>>324045
The only 'containment board' we need is /b/. Even /pol/ only 'contains' as many /pol/-posters as it attracts.
>>324010
>How are celebrities not related to television and film?
see
>-some trends get out of hand in terms of scale.
>As you can see, the boards are entirely made because of the current users.
It's not a matter of being related or not, it's a matter than it doesn't work with the current community.
So, again, there are only good reasons to "split the community" in many cases, because it's the community itself that needs it. You aren't part of that specific community, so you don't care, that's all.
>>324018
>you instead scream for change and demand it be made how you want it
We don't just demand it, we also obtain it.
So, yeah, you should adapt to how the website is.
>>324031
>>324037
The funny thing is that you can't get that the admins just tolerate you like they tolerate celebfags and everyone else. You aren't special. When an admin will stop tolerate a certain group of people, he will stop tolerating you as well.
>>324054
>The only 'containment board' we need is /b/.
/r9k/ and /soc/
They both fester cancer but are needed
>>324045
You're acting like containment boards are a good thing, they aren't
You're biggest and only real argument is that 4chan should be willing to change and cater to new people, but that falls flat on its face when the simple fact is, it doesn't. There is no reason for 4chan to change and people who want it to do so should simply adapt. New boards don't fix problems, it creates more
>>324060
>The funny thing is that you can't get that the admins just tolerate you like they tolerate celebfags and everyone else
>admins
The only admin is Bunny moot, retard. And the Mods don't tolerate anyone, they ban whoever the fuck they want, they just normally can't be bothered to ban even people they don't like
>>324060
Project harder, hugbox apologist. I am special. I stay on old-growth boards and make relevant posts. If I want fringe discussion, I go to a different fucking site.
>>324068
>The only admin is Bunny moot, retard.
I was saying that Moot tolerated you as well, use your brain, you rabid idiot. He would have happily perma ban people like you, more than half of /a/ and the whole /jp/ if he were as intolerant as you are demanding. You are just deluded idiots who can't understand that the only reason you are here is because first moot and now hiro have tolerated you.
>>324089
moot is a fucking idiot, having only /a/ would be enough.
>>324089
>He would have happily perma ban people like you, more than half of /a/ and the whole /jp/ if he were as intolerant as you are demanding
Good times those were
>>324086
> I think the overwhelming majority would agree. like 9-1 for it.
So, basically, what you're saying is because there are 2 distincive group on a board, and they don't like each other, we should split the board because conflict is scary. No, fuck off, that conflict is very much apart of 4chan design and is fun
>>324089
Yea, he tolerated people like me, but guess fucking what, he didn't tolerate you guys who demand the website change for their needs and would happyilyfucking perma-ban you and did
>>324104
ITT newfags who want 4chan to become reddit
>>324111
Yes exactly
I'm glad you understand
>>324107
>he didn't tolerate you guys
He didn't ban me and people who simply asked, so he did. You mean that he didn't pay heed to us, which was fine.
Anyway, I like how you are trying to ignore the point.
>>324111
There's nothing wrong with constant conflict, because every board will ALWAYS have a constant conflict between 2 loud groups. Everyone on 4chan is incredibly vocal against things they don't like and there will always be conflict and making new boards only helps make more conflict
Conflict is not a bad thing and in this case, is normally a good thing
>>324111
You perfectly summed up his shitposter mindset.
>>324126
>There will always be problems, so don't fix the major ones.
Ok.
>>324135
>>There will always be problems, so don't fix the major ones.
Conflict isn't a problem, that's the point. Shitposting is a problem, but 2 different groups not liking each other isn't. I fucking hate fate, madoka, jojo and the manime faggots on /a/, but you don't see me fucking complaining for them to get their own board
>>324142
>Conflict isn't a problem, that's the point.
It is if it makes discussing something almost impossible. You are here to discuss something, not to shitpost. I know that people like you usually can't remember that, but try to do that.
>I fucking hate fate, madoka, jojo and the manime faggots on /a/, but you don't see me fucking complaining for them to get their own board
Thanks for such a worhless example. You basically admitted that you didn't get what we are talking about.
No, not liking something isn't a major problem.
>>324153
>if they didn't just post on /a/ you would.
What are you even trying to say?
>>324142
If 80% of the board anime board was Xfags, and if Xfags would shitpost every other not-X thread you would complain. Actually, I'm sure you would be much more vocal than most people.
Again, read, or re-read this:
-some trends get out of hand in terms of scale.
-some subjects can't be properly discussed because of the resident dedicated shiposters of the previous board, and the people who want to discuss them need their own place.
-sometimes there is the need of a contain board, like /pol/ and /r9k/.
It's not that hard.
>>324164
>If fate, madoka, jojo, and manime faggots posted on every weeb board because it's all vaguely on topic and they didn't have a home board of their own then you would be here on /qa/ complaining for them to get their own containment board.
No.
They would be told to keep on the board where they're supposed to be in that case /a/
>>324172
Let me guess you also advocate Toonami threads on /a/
>>324172
Fucking go to 8ch then
>>324164
>you would be here on /qa/ complaining for them to get their own containment board
Fuck off. I hide or report as befits the situation.
Simple solution:
Bring back Snacks
>>324183
Because I don't like 8ch, and you should go there because as I've said many times; THEY HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT
>>324183
You literally want to change 4chan into 8ch
Go kill yourself
>>324188
Feels better than giving in to appeasement.
>>324199
Obviously you've never been there
>>324199
>How so?
You want thousands of dead hugboxes
That's 8ch
>>324174
>They would be told
No, they would tell you to fuck off because they are that many, and mods aren't going to ban so many people in any case.

The same way every big vocal group has been dealt with either the years, you fucking use the report feature, you dumbass. Unlike popular belief, it actually works, you can easily get a response within minutes. I know it does, because I use it regularly on /a/ and I also fucking mass report shit

You don't use it regularly on, you use it regularly on /a/ on small minorities with the support (or the indifference) of the majorities, and many times of the mods/janitor.
We are talking about cases that we don't have on /a/. The most similar case we got was obviously touhou, guess how it was solved.
Stop talking out of your ass, and try to get what we are talking about, instead of still posting this shit.
Or, you know, you can simply shut up, instead of trying to talk about things that clearly don't concern you.
>>325171
>you use it regularly on /a/ on small minorities with the support (or the indifference) of the majorities
No. I quite regularly report posts I simply just don't like, that it very accepted, and semi-regularly do they get deleted, sometimes within minutes. But you're right, a vocal minority is actually very easily crushed through the works of not just the mods, but the users as well
>touhou
That's a bad example anon, as they got their own board because they are apart of some of the culture 4chan is founded on.
A better example is the furrys. What happened to them when they grew in size and become a bother? They got added to fucking Global Rule 3 and told to fuck off. They shitposted in a fury for a while, then left and went to the other sites that catered to their needs
>Or, you know, you can simply shut up, instead of trying to talk about things that clearly don't concern you.
Except, it does. The culture and users of 1 board DOES affect the other boards. There is no 2 ways about this. If you have any knowledge of 4chan history, something that is spawned on 1 board and gained any form of traction, will always leak out and affect the other boards. Adding more boards only increases the leaks and in general decreases the overall post quality. Fuck off
>>323895
LAWL bullshit.
See : >>318176
Also : /mlp/ overtook and surpassed /vp/ in post numbers just last summer despite the fact that /vp/ got created 2 years before /mlp/.
We have an alive community and we make original content just go to our draw thread.
>>324242
You know , ponychan exists since 2011 and it never stopped the spamage.
/mlp/ has changed though , they like their home-board and no matter what they stay there.

>I am not going to make /vn/, /fig/, /touhou/ or whatever other flavor of the month boards you guys constantly request
Did you actually look at the picture?
>>324046
for example, /lit/ split off from /r9k/
>>322638
/his/ is probably one of the last boards with actually novel/interesting potential for the 4chan experience, in that actually brings in a new and (at least at the moment) enjoyable niche; people had wanted it for many years anyway far above all other suggestions.
At least from what I've seen floated around, many if not the vast majority of other board ideas besides /his/ involve splitting already-existing boards in some way, which doesn't tend to add much to the site but simply divides up content and users already here. Even other common suggestions we've seen for years, like a religion and/or philosophy board would just be a /his/ split now.
Splits don't always fix things either, for example /v/ somehow got worse and worse with each split because with more and more topics whittled away from it, they don't -have- much left to talk about besides meta industry/e-celeb shit which also happens to make the board nonstop console wars and youtube faggotry. So basically one side benefits and the other withers as a common result. For example, splitting a capes board off of /co/ would only concentrate the leftover parts on /co/ that the cape fans hate even further, and the act of just being split from a board wouldn't mean cape fans instantly stop using /co/, not even fucking close. So it easily can polarize a board's perceived problems even further rather than help it.
>tl;dr agree with OP, do not just make infinite boards, also don't just split existing boards infinitely thinking it'll fix shit, because it often won't
>>325947
>/his/ is probably one of the last boards with actually novel/interesting potential for the 4chan experience,
That's your own opinion, and most people disagree with you. So? You feel the need to force it that much?
> which doesn't tend to add much to the site but simply divides up content and users already here.
There was no real /his/ community here, even people very interested like me wouldn't have used fucking /pol/ for that, because of the uncontrollable amount of shitposters. So, yeah, it added a lot. Sometimes if you don't split the comunity you kill the "enjoyable niches" that you seem to like so much, because that's how some users are.
>For example, splitting a capes board off of /co/
No reasonable person wants something like that.
>>326015
There isn't any reason to add a new board
There aren't enough people who "need" a new board
>>325877
>>325880
Do you realize that Moot was saying that people should keep those things in the containment board that he added, right?
>>326019
Yeah, most new board ideas are beyond shit except maybe a worksafe /b/ or /r/, but those are not really necessary.
>>326019
That's a nice opinion and all, but that doesn't magically make your previous post less stupid. Nothing changed, the logic is exactly the same.
>>326027
Casidering that /r/ doesn't work in its current sate, it's really necessary. If you care. If you don't care, then you shouldn't complain. It's that simple.
>>326035
I see no harm in it. Some new boards would actively harm the user base, but a worksafe /r/ could only do good, I think. A trial one might be nice, to see if it would actually be used consistently.
>>326039
>Some new boards would actively harm the user base,
You shouldn't be so paranoiac.
Glad that we agree about /r/, though.
>>326013
>>326015
>>326022
Except, it still applies, fuckwits. Almost every board that has been suggested is closer to flavour of the month shit, rather than being actual good ones. The good majority of them don't even need boards and can easily stay in the current ones but either, actually have the fucking rules updated in god knows how long, shit clarified, and the users working something out with the mods.
This anon >>325947 so far, has been the most accurate. Because guess what, I know its over used, but, this isn't fucking 8ch or reddit, we don't need a board for everything
>>326030
"ok"
>>326082
>Except, it still applies, fuckwits.
It doesn't. Complain when we get a religion board when /his/ is absolutely fine for it, or an astronomy board when /sci/ is the right place and the right community to talk about that. That's the kind of retarded shit that Moot is complaining about in that pic, you dimwit.
> Almost every board that has been suggested is closer to flavour of the month shit,
Yeah, and almost every board that has been suggested isn't going to be made. So?
>This anon >>325947 so far, has been the most accurate
Pffft, sure, someone who clearly doesn't care about discussing /his/ subjects is the most accurate about how needed that place was. Please. Please. If you don't care, just ignore it instead of shitposting.
> Because guess what, I know its over used, but, this isn't fucking 8ch or reddit, we don't need a board for everything
We need a fucking abord when the communitry itself needs it or when it's a resonable idea.
Your only criterion is "this isn't fucking 8ch or reddit". That's why nobody is going to listen to people like you.
>>326106
Just stop. You're fucking retarded and nobody here agrees with you
>>322638
>Fan Fiction board.
The board idea shouldn't be exclusive to fan fiction, it should be /fic/ where writefags can post original and/or fanfic content.
And that idea for that board creation is one of the best ideas thus far, it'd surprisingly benefit a lot of anons, if I recollect, /a/'s A Tsundere Christmas is an original story, so imagine if /fic/ had existed during the creation of that story, 2011 was it?
I'd be oppose otherwise, yet you can tell anons are sincere and serious with some of these board ideas and it's good Hiro is reading and taking action too.
>>326106
>Pffft, sure, someone who clearly doesn't care about discussing /his/ subjects is the most accurate about how needed that place was
What? He never even fucking said anything about that, he basically said that /his/ is one of the last broad topics lefts that would actually really deserve a board
>>326106
>someone who clearly doesn't care about discussing /his/ subjects is the most accurate about how needed that place was.

I admit that I only rapidly skimmed it (probably because I'm really sick and tired of the people who complained about a good idea like /his/) , and I admit that it was really stupid, but everything else I said still stands.
If you are fine with /his/ and the containment boards you have no reason to complain, and almost every board that has been suggested clearly isn't going to be made, what the hell is your point? Some vague "maybe we are going to get a flavour of the month board so I'm complaining in advance?"
>>326159
> and almost every board that has been suggested clearly isn't going to be made
Except, Bunny Moot is taking every opinion he sees seriously, and is considering all the of them. Enough autists screaming at him for their flavour of the month board and chances are they will get it. We shouldn't even consider adding new boards until he has a clear grasp on what the fuck hes doing
>>326177
This accurately represents my concerns

People like you two who think you speak for some kind of majority are reason enough for admins to make a /tin/foil board.

He hasn't made it yet. It should just been a write board anyway, so it isn't just a board for people to write retard autist shit, but also includes retards who seriously want to write actual shit. This is the problem, a fanficition board is flavour of the month shit, while a write board is a actual proper one
>>326198

>>326204

>>326177
>Except, Bunny Moot is taking every opinion he sees seriously, and is considering all the of them.
"Considering" means weighing the pros and cons. he's a new admin,a fucking jap, and somone who doesn't automatically reject ideas, of course he can't reject or accept something as easily and rapidly as Moot.
You are blowing it of out proportion for no reason, he's just trying to not be a superficial person. And he has done a great job so far, using the same logic that Moot used. That screencap of Moot's post is absolutely out of place right now.
>Enough autists screaming at him for their flavour of the month board and chances are they will get it.
Yeah, and complain when that it will happen .
Look, I'm glad that you aren't a totally unreasonable fucktard like the people who complained about /his/ and the containment boards, but at least they have a (wrong) reason for their complaint, you are complaining about nothing.
>>326179
Then you shouldn't be so aggressive about simple concerns.
As someone who browses several imageboards that get ~5-10 posts per day for years, with consistency, I can confidently say that no 4chan board is too slow to form or harm its community. The slowest boards are often the best quality in terms of critical discussion, but are the most boring and tame.
When you post on a slower board, you have less people willing to reply to your post for ANY reason. On /v/, you can get away with silly trolling because there is some idiot who will inevitably reply to your post in a few seconds as a secondhand reaction. On /po/, it will either be ignored or deleted, so your post has to be good enough to catch people's attention, or you must not care about getting replies (which is good too).
On boards, there is a tradeoff between three factors: posting speed, posting speed per thread, and thread creation speed.
If you have a lot of threads with little posts, people will be inclined to post controversial or instantly appealing content to attract other posters, like on most /b/ threads. This is like the media-filled side of Tumblr (from what I have seen, don't browse it much).
If you have a lot of threads with a lot of posts, people will end up using the board as a free-for-all, where short, inane responses are spammed over a variety of topics simultaneously, like /v/. This is similar to traditional IRC format.
If you have a few threads and a lot of posts, you get /vg/, where everyone circlejerks over a few topics. The latter is most like Reddit discussion.
Finally, if you have a few threads with few posts, like /po/ you generally revert to traditional forum-esque discussion.
The thing is, when people say that something is SHIT and that they want GOOD posting quality, each individual has a different idea of what is good. Some people like fast anarchy, while others just want a convenient forum, etc.
I guess my point is that what you (or I) like is not necessarily what even a plurality of the posting population desire.
>>326234
We need several new boards. We aren't going to run out of internet.
>>326234
I disagree with this. There are clearly at least a couple more containment boards that are absolutely needed. Beyond that Hiro can steer the site and cater to as many special interest groups as he wants.
>>326221
>you are complaining about nothing.
Except, I'm not. We don't need any new boards at the moment, we have too many if anything. And as I said, all everyone is doing is confusing the poor Bunny and removing his attention from things he should be doing, because he hasn't been here long enough to give good opinions on board creations.

That doesn't mean shit, stop acting like you know every single thing about this place and about every single community, and like you know how every single person will react to every single possible addiction.
That's just parrotting narrow minded, superficial idiots. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks that almost every suggestion has been stupid, but at least I value them individually without laughable biases. You know, like Hiro is trying to do.
>And as I said, all everyone is doing is confusing the poor Bunny
As that guy said, those are concerns, nothing concrete, which don't justify such aggressive complain.
>>326202

yes it should be a writefig board if anything, like /lit/'s /ic/. could be nice.

>>326293

>>326305
In the thread that Hiro made, it was generally decided, if it should happen that a writefig board is made, that critique threads on /lit/ would stay, which is where all the highbrow shit would usually go. Not that /lit/'s critique threads actually had fairly high-brow stuff in it; it was middle-brow, if anything. But, yes, it should be a place for all sorts of writing. I imagine people from /tg/ or /tv/ or /co/ etc. could/would post there.

The biggest issue here is Hiro's approach to addressing user concerns. He says "if you want something just vote on it" and makes changes based on popular opinion, which is extremely risky depending on what's being asked for rather than taking a level-headed and rational approach to gauge the topics at hand before making a decision. It comes across as lazy administration and is ultimately detrimental to the community because it encourages people that they can force changes by being vocal and overpowering opposing opinion.

you are implying that what the majority of the board wants is not what should happen. You're just butthurt about the idea of the site not being ruled by a minority of retards anymore
>>326640
I wouldn't say implying, but rather directly stating that majority or popular opinion is not objectively the correct or best course of action. A lot of people would be able to take advantage of that to have changes made that caters specifically to themselves, with little to no regard for the effects the changes could have on the community as a whole or how it reflects on other boards or users as long as their self-interest is met.
>You're just butthurt about...

Nice weasel words m8. People are sick of the site being railroaded by a few dumbfuck newfag mods with sticks up their asses.

What a shame Hiro is listening to the mentally deficient people like yourself, spouting buzzwords and conspiracies like only a child truly can. Opening the floodgate of basically letting the users run the site is a fucking mistake, and while these entitled cunts who represent "the majority" may be getting their way it's ultimately just going to shit the site up further for everyone else, all for the sake of appeasing -your- group's wants and needs. Forget the consequences that could come from them, right? As long as you and the "majority" get your way.

Potential consequences, that the people in support of catering to majority opinion or popularity polls refuse to accept because they'd be getting in the way of users getting what they want. I won't be listing them here, because a number of them have already been stated in the thread and dismissed as conspiracy theory.
>>326809
I'm pointing out the flaws in that system and criticizing his approach, not declaring absolute appropriate methods. If anybody is acting irrationally here, it's the people being reactionary toward the idea that their hope for committing change is being threatened or challenged.

But that shouldn't happen, you're implying that the majority of the people in boards know whats actually fucking good for them. Fuck, if you went to /v/ and asked them how to fix it, you can't seriously be telling me you'd actually trust the majority opinion. The majority opinion isn't also always the majority, in 4chan's case, its incredibly easy to mistake a few autists who are insanely vocal as the majority. Which is what happens a lot

But that anon is right, anon. The creation of a board that isn't for image dumps, will more than likely affect other ones.
