Is 4chan salvageable or have we become too popular and the flood of new users forever altered the nature of the site?
It's salvageable but Hiro doesn't have the balls to do what needs to be done so only in theory
>>339694
And what exactly needs to be done?
Hiro is putting us on the right path, but we'll never be like we once were.
>>339695
Deleting bad boards and not caring about losing some of the user base. All he wants to do is add more
>>339695
Not that guy, I think one way to improve the site is to limit its access. OP and hipsters are right - once something becomes too popular it goes to shit.
Other than mass range bans and flooding boards with .js and other spam, the best way to cut the wheat from the chaff is just requiring a 4chan pass to post.
Just reduce the price to $1 a pass and it will clear up a lot of shitposting since 99% of shitposters won't want to waste $1 and take the time to get a new pass just to make their BLACKED thread that'll get deleted in a few minutes anyway.
>>339705
Which boards exactly?
>>339711
Any boards I don't like
>>339719
>Banning mobile posting would be good though
That would be a start. Since Hiro went into debt to buy 4chan and probably wants to increases users in order to bring in more revenue I think banning all posting from mobile users is a non-starter.
However, I think banning mobile users from making a thread is feasible and would be helpful.

You're retarded. Banning mobile posting will do nothing to curb ban evading.
>>339726
>hating /sp/
Over the line, buddy.
>>339730
Yes, it will. A mobile device is the easiest and most consequence free way to shitpost.
I've done before at home, at work, or other places I'm away from my PC. Just fire up Clover, make a shitty thread, go into the airplane mode, exit airplane mode, and reply to my thread with pre-fabricated additional bait.
Sure it's not 100% effective but it will help. I don't understand why some people get so defensive when the suggestion that mobile posting be limited. I figure we're hitting close to home.

Why the fuck would you want to delete what keeps most would-be terrible posters out?
>/pol/, /r9k/, /s4s/
Deleting a board does not delete its userbase. This would accomplish nothing but shit up the rest of the site.
>/mlp/, /vp/, /vg/
Containment boards exist for a reason
>/sp/
Why?

Making up excuses is a cop-out for not enforcing the rules and banning, permabanning, and/or perma-rangebanning unwanted posters.
>wanting to delete boards and drive off newfags when Hiroshimoot took loans just to buy this site
Yes, I want 4chan to have less newfags and to be less shitty but it's nothing but a pipe dream if it means driving off it's users. Hero need to make a buck off this shithole site
>>339753
That's why the first thing I said it's only possible in theory and Hiro can't/won't do it
>>339695
1. Publicly ban cancer;
2. Remove 4chan from Google's search queries;
3. Insta-ban anyone who comes from Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit (Yes, it is possible if 4chan was linked in one of these sites);
4. Block mobile users, since 90% of them are Instagram shitposters;
5. More unprofessional stuff, like CSS hacks and shit;
6. REPEAT.
As >>339694, Hiro would never do this.
>>339760
>Insta-ban anyone who comes from Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit (Yes, it is possible if 4chan was linked in one of these sites);
I thought websites using HTTPS didn't send referrer meta tags?
>>339767
Google "whatismyreferer" and click on "whatismyreferer.com". Both sites have SSL encryption, yet google still sent a HTTP referrer to whatismyreferer.com
>>339772
>not using DuckDuckGo to anonymize redirects
ayy
>>339775
Anon, we are talking about banning cancer. They think Google is the only existing search query on the Internet.
ITT people with vastly different ideas about what terms like "cancer" and "quality content" and "improvement" mean.
We need to fucking get rid of /r/4chan. They are the one who spread our stuff everywhere. Can't we use some copy right law to shut it down or something.

Fuck you man, I got a long bus commute.
