I've just had the idea that every month, 1 thread slot will be removed out of the 150 threads on /b/.
That way, /b/ will eventually die but it will happen so slowly that the users won't even notice.
Now Hiro will not have to pay the large server cost of hosting a containment board for children and 4chan will be a more enjoyable place.

What are your thoughts on this idea?
>>
>die slowly
It would literally take 12.5 years. That's how long 4chan has been here for. And there would be /b/tards who spot the first deletion.

Your idea is shit and you need to fuck off to Reddit.

A better idea would be to slowly increase the captcha difficulty. Then set up paid accounts to bypass the captcha, and eventually there will only be paying customers left.

>fix /b/ by deleting it

That's not really fixing it though, and its useless, underage, edgy unfunny users would probably just go to other boards, likely other ones that aren't directly topical like /int/ or /r9k/, which already have problems enough as it is with /b/ tier garbage shitting them up. If they moved to [s4s] it would be instantly ruined.

Ideally, one could pontificate ways to fix /b/ such as moving porn threads to /s/ (or /aco/ or /trash/ or whatever), "rate me/my gf" type threads to /soc/, advice threads (anything going "help/wat do" etc) to /adv/. But as easy as that sounds, you can't actually do that, because /b/ is intended to hold whatever topic regardless if other boards could suit them better. Even if you did make huge efforts to chemo it, most of the original user base wouldn't come back because the more topical boards there are, the less there is any reason to be on /b/. The parade of new boards has gradually stripped more and more of any reason to want to use /b/; the infrastructure in place to suck it dry of wit/humor was around by '06 hence within a few years the place became unrecognizable.

Even if you had a mostly /soc/ and porn-free /b/ focused on trying to be light and quirky you'd have something maybe like [s4s], which is an okay board but also not that exciting unless you're 12-14 years of age (physically or mentally).

/b/'s users would only improve /r9k/.

Let's be honest: is any 4chan user really opposed to nuking this place? To finally being free?
>>
>>533062
I'd like it if 4chan went down for, say, a month.
>>
>>533031
Here is a MUCH better idea. The following idea will purge 4chan of all user's of the /b/ board.
1)Collect the IP Addresses of user's who post on /b/
2)User's who post on /b/ more than four times each week are blacklisted
3)Rangeban these blacklisted user's for four days. (This is to prevent ban evasion)
4)Lift the rangebans
5)Permanently ban all the blacklisted users.
>>
>>533031
This is a great idea but it needs to happen faster. Make it every week. And increase the speed once they start noticing. By the time they can do anything, /b/ will be gone.
>>
>>533095
>needs to happen faster.
I disagree.
As the first poster mentioned it will take twelve years but after 6, when there's only 75 pages left, the damage should already been done and the board rendered unusable. It can then be deleted outright.
>>
>>533102
Six years is FAR too long. The board can be destroyed in one year, MAXIMUM.
>>
>>533104
You're not taking into account the USERS of the board. If you don't give them enough time they won't interrelate will into the other topical boards. Deleting it after just one year will be disastrous.
>>
This is actually already happening on /pol/ but they're retards and haven't noticed.

What's wrong with her thumb?
