Make /tv/ the only board and posters can only communicate through baneposting

You're crashing this website with no survivors.

I like your style.

 

[Risette]

/lgbt/ is pretty much the only LGBT community-type-place I can tolerate these days so hopefully nothing bad happens to it!

Why does 4chan remain anonymous? What happens if I namefriend?

 

[StayDead]

why not just remove webms?

Webms > gifs.

I can't enjoy gifs knowing that better quality webms exist.

 

[Kthulhu]

This for fuck's sake. /r9k/ serves no purpose other than the occasional visit to laugh and feel better about yourself compared to the pathetic losers who post there.

Yup. I hope most of the people on that board are lying. Some of the stories I've seen make me hope they're getting professional help.

/lgbt/ is pretty much the only LGBT community-type-place I can tolerate these days so hopefully nothing bad happens to it!

I'm surprised 4chan has anything respectful to say about the LGBT community.

 

[Delio]

One option could be deleting the porn boards. Because they're built on WebM posts, they cost a bundle and don't exactly make 4chan a nicer place

See I look at this and wonder if vp should be spun back into v but with the way people post on vp it would be even more hell.

 

[Sou Da]

r9k legitimately serves no purpose at all, it's a self loathing echo chamber.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Delete everything but the porn boards. Especially /pol/ and /v/.

/vg/ can stay though.

 

[Rayis]

That's the thing, is not exactly respectful

 

[Kthulhu]

That's the thing, is not exactly respectful

Then why do you like it? What's the appeal?

 

[Rayis]

Then why do you like it? What's the appeal?

I don't like it actually, not the person who said they did, it has lots of /pol/ shit-posters and self-hating lgbt people

 

[CalamityPixel]

Thing is that if they close /pol/ the backlash would be huge.

All the /pol/ anons would leak onto other boards and shit post like hell forever. Ruining any chance of ontopic discussion.

It's a shitty situation.

So nothing changes then.

I see no positive outcome from this happenning. lol

My bad, sorry.

 

[Doop]

As long as /tg/ stays the same I'm okay. I love the art threads and lore discussions they have there.

 

[Delio]

I see no positive outcome from this happenning. lol

But the fire that results from it would be entertaining.

 

[Alexlf]

Ehh, the "culture" that made 4chan fun, or maybe even worthwhile, died years ago. Just let it die so I can finally stop being disappointed by how it's ended up.

Spoiler

Ya, that's a selfish outlook. I guess I just lack the self control to forget about it on my own

 

[Googly Eyes Dog]

I understand that's it gotta be hard to make a profit off a site that has boards like /b/, /pol/, and a wealth of NSFW boards with some of the most strange porn on the planet. But I think the general consensus is that the SFW boards are great and perpetually at the forefront of internet culture. I feel like that should be easy enough to maintain.

[RustyNails]

One of the best internet things I've ever witnessed was ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH. Has anything similar come out of 4chan since that?

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Money rules teh world... and now 4chan

 

[FelixOrion]

hiro goddamn it

 

[Clint Beastwood]

$50 a month to post on 4chan it is

That's a new one.

It was funny when most of it was clearly a joke.

There is no way this dick bought 4chan, I don't believe it.

Yep, no idea what he's doing.

The Internet can survive without 4chan.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

As long as /e/ remains unchanged, I don't care what happens to 4chan. Quit going to /v/ a couple years back, only go to /a/ for buyfag threads.

Well this should be a potentially fun to watch from the sidelines.

Gonna need you to take that language back to >>>/b/

Ya blew it. Got a little ahead of yourself.

Looking forward to Shrekmoot.

 

[Odrion]

I'm out of the loop - why would they close boards?

Wait you don't know what /pol/ is?

 

[cafemomo]

get rid of everything and retain /sp/

 

[BennyBlanco]

/vg/ is the best videogame forum on the internet and /tv/ is the best television and film board on the internet

 

[Battlechili]

Not that its appropriate language, but that is the actual name of those threads unfortunately.

 

[Sou Da]

/vg/ is the best videogame forum on the internet and /tv/ is the best television and film board on the internet

/tv/ is a den of pedophiles.

 

[BennyBlanco]

What did he mean by this?

 

[Frozenprince]

Creepy af

 

[pizzaparty]

/asp/ used to be a cool place to post about combat sports until they let professional wrestling threads on it

 

[squall23]

I, again, cannot believe that so many adults would admit to reading and being emotionally invested in 4chan.

It's not my fault there are more people interested in 90s anime in 4chan than there are here.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

Brexit, trump as leader and shrek owns 4chan meme year.

I find the whole "and nothing of value was lost" attitude towards 4chan, especially from people who have never visited the site, to be unfortunate. It's been years since I was a regular there so I can't attest as to how it is right now, but there was a while when I was about 16-17 where /adv/ was one of the only places I was able to be honest about my depression and suicidal ideation, because of the anonymity. And yes, obviously a lot of the responses were accusations of trolling or encouragement to go through with it, but there was a fair bit of good advice and supportiveness as well. Despite the ugly side of 4chan, I think it provided a lot of value for a lot of people through anonymous posting and, as mentioned upthread, the lack of upvoting/karma. I would be sad to see it go offline or be bought by Shkreli.

Edit: and a lot of the boards have good discussions on them. You just have to look past /b/ and the image dump boards.
