Another playground for /pol/? NO. Fuck that.
How about a board for college/university students?
They are a huge group on 4chan and always blogging on other boards
/cel/ has been requested frequently by /hr/ users
/uni/ would be nice because apparently depressed college students are too normie for /r9k/
I really think we should take it slow, though, lest we become 8ch
>>325237
It isn't just about /pol/. Ask /x/ and /k/ and /int/. The tinfoilfags are truly the gypsies of 4chan. They roam from board to board without a home, shunned where ever they go. Yet they won't leave. Eventually they come to either /x/ or /pol/ and both boards are continually sending them to the other one and telling them their threads are off topic.
/cel/ is needed it would really help cleaning up the worst board on 4chan /tv/
New boards:
/cel/ - celebrities
/deb/ - debate
/new/ - news (SFW)
/i/ - invasions
/gov/ - 4chan government/meta
/web/ - other websites
/kr/ - Korean shit
/phi/ - religion and philosophy
/drw/ - drawfags
/film/ - cinema and movies
You can come at me with your shit criticism of this list but this is objectively the best list.

That would be populated with shills. Just keep general internet discussion on /cel/ or in specific site related boards

Don't care. Is there enough koreaboos on 4chan for that to be sustainable?
>/phi/ - religion and philosophy
Either keep it in /his/ or /lit/
>/drw/ - drawfags
We have /ic/
>/film/ - cinema and movies
Iffy on this. So, is it splitting up /tv/ into /tv/ and /film/?
>>325328
>/cel/
Gross but it may clean up cancer on /tv/, /v/, /r9k/(not that it matters) /s/, /hr/ and maybe others I don't browse any of these boards but I can see the use.
>/deb/
I don't get this one, every board is /deb/ and it won't have a real topic.
>/news/(SFW)
Do we really need a news board? /pol/ will jut flee their hellhole and take it over
>/i/

No look how bad /qa/ is and it's not even listed. Awful idea

Any good reason why this wouldn't just be shilling for shit and arguing about reddit/tumblr?
>/kr/
Free /jp/ from it, /mu/ from K-pop and /a/ from manhwa? OK but good luck trying to convince our jap overlord
>/phi/
I think /his/, /pol/ and /lit/ need to sort themselves out instead of adding yet another board
>/drw/
We already have /ic/

Meh.
>>325347

Everybody is asking for a celebrity containment board not just /tv/ faggot

So edgy faggots like you can actually vote against every board suggestion instead of just shitposting about them
> /i/
Yeah it's a long shot but why not try it out? You have no good reasons to be against it.
>>325354
>>325356
Basically I imagine /web/ as a place for faggots to talk about reddit, tumblr, and 8gag. Every use of those words should instantly get users a ban to where they can only post on /web/
/gov/ would basically be an attempt to fix /qa/ which wasn't always a meta board. Mods would be required to regularly address questions there and official polls for board creation/deletion would be posted there.
>>325358
>You have no good reasons to be against it.
Have you forgotten Anonymous, anon? Before they got co opted by Reddit, every time they got on the news, it would just bring a boatload of newfags to 4chan. Don't forget the fact that if one of /i/'s raids does something that fucks with the gov or something else news worthy, they'll be fucking gunning for 4chan's head. /i/ is nothing of value other than underage memers doing shit for teh lulz
>>325328
>/drw/ - drawfags
I already know how this should be set up.
• You give it 2 pages like /f/
• OP is the only one that can post images, and must be a drawfag (this is where moderation comes it to prevent shitposters)
• Only the OP can use a name
• People make requests in-thread that the drawfag may complete
• enable a indicator for NSFW-friendly drawfags to show their on-board for Porn
• either enable ID's to prevent multiple requests, have a 30 min wait-time to post a new request, or only allow one post per IP
• Quality must exceeded chris-chan
• global rules 1,2,4,13, and 15 apply
• sonic-level furry and below is acceptable
• Bojack Horseman-level furry and above is bannable
Then we could purge /i/, and get rid of the obnoxious drawthreads
>>325368
This can only devolve into a drawfag circlejerk. Basically /soc/ but for drawfags.
>>325328
>/cel/
Maybe as a containment board, kind of useless imo
>/deb/
Only would be good with a shit ton of moderation and likely still wouldn't work out/would be pointless
>/new/
Maybe make it like 8gag's /new/
>/i/
Would be fun but won't happen
>/gov/
Add Meta Discussion to the /qa/ title and make mods actually have to answer shit and you've got it
>/web/
Bad idea, shill general
>/kr/
Not enough desire and kind of pointless, though I would like k-waifu threads off /mu/
>/phi/
Definitely needed but maybe split it into /phi/ and /rel/
>/drw/
Just go to /ic/
>/film/
Not too familiar with /tv/ board culture but adding this could be for the better
What also needs to be done:
/z/ - funposting 2.0
/fur/ - give furries a place to shitpost since other than ebin SA-era board culture there's no reason for it to not exist when there's /mlp/ and a strong demand for it
Delist [s4s]
Fix /d/ and /aco/
>>325212
How about, no more boards. We have enough
>>325364
Newfags are going to come here in droves regardless of the existence of /i/, and it really should be up to an Hiro to decide if the risk is worth the reward.
The fact is that raids will happen anyways.
>>325373
We need more containment boards for the different userbases clashing on current boards.
>>325212
/l/oli
>>325379
No, we don't. Separating the userbases is a retarded idea, for dozens of reasons. A good one is it only will encourage the growth of generals, circlejerking and the end result of both of those is always more tripfags.
The userbase will always be clashing with each other, it's apart of the nature of the site and handing out more boards won't solve that, it'll only make it worse. In actual fact, the clashing is one of the reasons the site is good, it creates discussion. This isn't a hugbox
>>325376
What's the rewards? Lulz is not one of them.
>>325358
>> /deb/
>Arguing is already the national sport here, make a board for it
hilariously dumb
>>325372
>Definitely needed but maybe split it into /phi/ and /rel/
It goes on /his/ and /lit/. No new board needed.
>/z/ - funposting 2.0
How did /z/ function before? Is this necessary?
>>325389
It's a good idea for dozens more reasons than it's a bad idea. Clashing demographics undermine boards. They do not create discussion, they create derailing and butthurt arguments. It isn't about being a hugbox, it's about giving people that currently only partially fall under many different board topics a place of their own so they don't shit up those other boards anymore. It's the reason why boards like /lbgt/ and /mlp/ were created so there is already established precedent here.
inb4 muh 8gag slippery slope
>4chan worshiping celebrities.
That's sad.
>>325416
And 4chan isn't 8ch or reddit. It doesn't need a board for every topic, that's a retarded idea. The majority of those demographics generally can be compressed into a shitty singular general the boards they are currently apart of or just be banned. Another problem is simply, the majority of them simply shouldn't have their own board, because the topic isn't broad enough and as a result the board will just be generals and circlejerking.
Rather than trying to create more boards, giving us more topics to discuss and creating more problems, a better idea is to actually fix problems we have. A good majority of the demographics can be solved through a comprise with the users and the mods and if they don't like that, they go to the dozens of other sites that cater to them
>>325405
I get that most boards want waifufags gone but I feel that it could be better solved by moderation rather than a board solely dedicated to their shitposts.
Also, considering that most furries that don't already come to 4chan likely go to other imageboards/websites for their needs a /fur/ on here more than likely would be more of a containment board to get furfags off other boards. And honestly, from what I've seen furry drama is no worse than any other internet 'fandom' and we already have /co/ for a shit ton of those, and that board was doing at least ok the last time I checked it out.
>>325415
I feel that philosophy should be allowed on those boards when it's relevant to the discussion, but it would still be nice to have a board (or boards) for threads dedicated to the topics of philosophy and religion in themselves rather than how they relate to other topics.
Also, though I wasn't here for /z/, it seems like it would just be a fun board. The idea of it is a completely user moderated board (minus illegal shit) which of course means that it turns into a complete shitshow. It's definitely not necessary in any way but it would fill a nice niche that no other board does at the moment.
>>325435
Not that other anon but while I agree that having too many boards will cause a general decrease in quality it's undeniable that there are many boards that either need to be split to better fit their communities or need to be created due to a lack of space for discussion to exist. As long as it doesn't get too out of hand this place should remain safe from becoming a wasteland like much of 8ch has.
>>325435
>The majority of those demographics generally can be compressed into a shitty singular general the boards they are currently apart of or just be banned.
You must have just gotten here yesterday if you think mass banning has ever solved anything on 4chan. They cannot be compressed further because that gives mods more to do. Frankly that idea of 'compressing' containment boards back into other existing boards is ridiculous when you apply it to a board like /a/ or /c/ or /h/. I suspect that you are simply one of the posters that doesn't want more boards about topics you don't like personally, but to pretend like creating more boards creates more problems is disingenuous compared to how many problems *not* creating more boards makes when there are two distinct userbases on the same board, or worse, a userbase without a home board spread over multiple boards.

Don't lie anon, this barely got votes and /a/ was firmly against it unless it was pre 1979 anime so crossboarders don't get a board to discuss cowboy bebop.

>I feel that philosophy should be allowed on those boards when it's relevant to the discussion, but it would still be nice to have a board (or boards) for threads dedicated to the topics of philosophy and religion in themselves rather than how they relate to other topics.
I think it's doing pretty well in that regard, in that its relation to other topics almost entirely covers what it would be otherwise. I think having a general /phil/ or /rel/ would just take all of that off /his/ and /lit/. /lit/ contains most general /phil/ as is anyway, and I'd like to keep that.

>>325457
It's not that I'm against new boards, I'm simply against pointlessly making new ones. The majority of boards people want to make are ones simply because people on one board don't like each other and normally the topic isn't broad enough. The creation of most the boards people want, will at best stay decent for a few months before they just turn into general and circlejerking faggotry. Making them as such is pointless, as there are otherways to solve a lot of those problems and it gives the mods more work than they need nor care about
>>325466
Mass banning does work, its just that, its fucking annoying and time consuming to do, something the mods don't care to put effort into and a lot of users these days for some reason think reporting does nothing
The only real problem with userbases that don't like each other is just that, they don't like each other, every board has that. Every board I've used over the years, has normally always had two incredibly vocal groups that don't like each other. Separating them into new boards won't fix that either, they'll still be at each others throats, except now they can do it not on just their own board, but on the other as well. But really, the biggest issue is, as I said to the other anon, is it gives the mods more work. We barely have enough to deal with our current size, giving them more work is a bad idea, and adding more mods isn't a option.
I'm not against new boards, simple boards that serve no purpose

>>325481
That's a fair point, but I think that the only way to determine whether or not a /phi/ or /rel/ board is necessary at this point is to have them as trial boards and see if a) they should be two separate boards, b) they remain relatively free of shitposting, and c) they have enough discussion that wouldn't fit under /lit/ or /his/ that it would be necessary for them to stay. It very well could be that the topic would turn out to be better off left to /lit/ and /his/ but I feel that the topic is separate enough from the preexisting boards that it should be tested.
>>325505
The problem is that there is a distinct demographic that doesn't fit in on either board but insists on posting on multiple boards on this site out of lack of their own board to do their thing on. They're here right now. They aren't some new demographic.

If you tell them to go to other boards they disagree with you. Mods delete their threads constantly on both boards and it only invigorates them because they think mods are part of the illuminati or the NSA.
/pol/ is constantly telling them to go to >>>/x/ because of pic related and /x/ sends them right back to /pol/ because it isn't paranormal. Worse yet they shit up /k/ with Alex Jones FEMA camp tales.

>>325544
Based on multiple sources the policy is that conspiracy theories go on /x/, so all the mods really need to do is expand /x/'s little blurb in the rules to include conspiracies.
Anyway, since this is effectively a discussion about splitting /x/, Hiroyuki should go to /x/ and ask if they want the split.

There was a whole thread the other day here on /qa/ I don't have a link to where /x/philes were begging for their sticky to be updated. If nothing else that might help clarify things and get those tinfoil people off the other boards when that happens. Like the /cel/ebrity thing on /tv/ this has been a problem for so many years that new people have come here and seen those tinfoil threads and now think the conspiracies are the point of the boards.

agreed, mods and/or admins giving /x/ some attention and clarifying things would go a long way. I'm just saying that if /x/ won't be the tinfoil board then one is sorely needed because /pol/ isn't that. Nazis and tinfoil don't mix for some reason. They want to blame the worlds problems on different groups.
>>325527
Eh. The creation of /his/ with its '& Humanities' thing triggered /lit/ hard and I really don't think most of the board would be happy to see /phil/ created. I don't think it'd care too much about /rel/.
/iqmod/ - solve 1 logic puzzle to post a comment, submit an essay for consideration and review to make a thread

Yes I enjoyed the Habbo Hotel raids. I enjoyed the time we thoroughly shitted up Jennifer Government, the disastrous Wurm online expedition, getting sodomised thoroughly by Russia in Haven and Hearth, rolling around Cherno in DayZ in a bus deemed the catbus.
Those were great fun.
But those days are over.

>>327528
It kind of depends on what /x/ wants to do. The /x/philes need to decide if that kind of content is appropriate on their board. Mods have been asked Hiro or mods to update the sticky there recently and as far as I know they are still waiting. It isn't always paranormal related just like it isn't always /pol/ or /k/ related when the tinfoil ends up there.
