I've been out all day, what the fuck did I just walk in on? >>1695246 >which is the exact same reputation 4chan was born out of 1. 4chan is far older and far more removed from its controversial past 2. Plebbitors and twittards casualized the shit out of the site and sanded it down to where it's a shell of its former self 3. 4chan is being propped up in the mainstream as a content farm (ie Shit4chanSays, TurkeyTom, WavyWebSurfs, etc.) and by celebs who at least admitted to a 4chan upbringing in part, regardless of how loudly or proudly. 4. Look at what happens when you search both sites on Bing and tell me someone isn't going to get the wrong first impression. 5. 8moe, as pointed out, has no activity beyond bitching in generals and cyclicals. We've still got the skins of tons of communities from 8prime, but without users and activity they're as useful as sand in the Sahara. Nobody would want to be caught dead on this site. except Mark >If you just ignore it and keep posting everything gets completely memory holed and people stop caring in a week. That works if you have an audience to begin with, with an audience of borderline zero and no outreach to combat negative rep you're kneecapping growth severely. >as people gain familiarity with the place Which requires them to post and stay for a while, with how ADHD zoomers are and how used familiar with older sites boomers/millennials are the first excuse to stop using this site they'll take. >>1695405 >I blame there not being enough new good games to discuss. Hasn't stopped anons in the past, if you believe some we haven't had a good game since 8prime was born, possibly earlier. >>1695420 >/ck/ You'd probably have to kick a few /ck/ refuge threads on /v/ /b/ and others to that board, Also what kind of memes can even come out of food culture? You think some genius is gonna recreate the Yum Yum? >the big platforms are full of it these days unless you have a hyperfocused algorithm, it's not THAT different Degenerate roblox AI slop and spam that violates the law and gets us in legal trouble are a little bit different. >but it's not like most of them are going to be yelling about it on their xitter Ooooh, I think you've stumbled onto a very important point here. What if the ones most likely to post can't be reached through the traditional internet means? Would 8moe be able to survive as a grassroots org through IRL invites predominantly? >>1695503 6/10, how the fuck would lucianopill be able to springboard off of a random ass Wario thread? A religious debate on how genuinely jewish Wario is would be a far more likely derail, maybe economic shit as well. >Sex with Captain Syrup would also be in the first ten posts but now I'm just nitpicking >>1695827 The BO is the face that people can point to when moderation is lacking though, the leader that acts as a weak point for the community, much like why GG had no leaders initially. As stated here >>1695427 Mark can be a huge liability because of how easily exploited and vulnerable he can be. I want to have faith in him but sometimes he burns that faith a little bit with his more retarded decisions. >which leaves decent places on the internet starving for new blood, naturally Yeah there's no easy quick fix for imageboard problems that can really be tied back to societal and mental rot.

>>1695827 He's responsible for setting the tone of the board and has significantly more control over its direction than any individual anon does. Not once did he ever acknowledge the dwindling userbase and more likely than not banned people that would bring it up since for a good year or two anon's were completely delusional about the problem. Mark has a lot of influence over people even if that sounds ridiculous. There is a lot of basic things he could have been doing that would open up the culture of the board to encourage organic advertisement. Slap on a capcode and remind people that they should record their gameplay during gamenights and upload it as a webm or a file somewhere. Even if it's just raw footage some bored anon might decide to edit it into some gamenight compilation, then that could be watermarked and uploaded in some thread on cuckchan. There are a million tiny decisions he could have made as someone that touts himself as an internet forum social media wizkid but he doesn't even manage the bare minimum. Yes individual anons could do this of their own accord, but Mark has the ability to influence a larger number of people by making things have the veneer of an official project they get to contribute towards. And it allows him to delegate productivity. These by the way Mark, are the actual skills the people applying for the jobs you want have and can demonstrate. Not just sending some fucking emails begging people to do lame AMA threads.

>can't be reached through the traditional internet means? they're still around, can't get away after all, but yeah, reaching them is the hard part >Would 8moe be able to survive as a grassroots org through IRL invites predominantly? <thinking any of us faggots have anyone IRL worth talking to you jest, but also why not some ARG shit go touch grass and drop a few flyers, tack a few business cards in places never know who might turn up if you target right

>>1696050 Everything has been weirdly slow this summer, even when taking into account the drop off that non 4chan imageboards have been experiencing for the last half decade. I can understand why /brit/ slowed down, that's due to their government trying to turn their IRL home into Airstrip One. The bottom seems to have fallen out of the posting. Usually there's a little uptick during summer hours.

>>1696127 I can peruse boards on the topbar, "core" boards that are very close to imageboard culture like /a/ and /co/, four threads will have been bumped since I last checked 24 hours ago, and ~50 posts made in total. One post every twenty minutes (being generous and accounting for sleep schedules) on a board/thread that isn't /vyt/ or /gacha/ would've been tolerable in 2010, but looking for content from this place is trying to squeeze blood out of a long dead stone. We have this gif's problem with no clear cut definition of how to develop an "atmosphere", a lot of theories but no significant action since the 4chan bunny collab which, again, seems mostly because of 4chan's temporary death and her audience moving here not because 8moe won her over naturally >natural growth >on post 2020 internet Other sites didn't just instantly get big overnight, any action we take now might get our userbase to double short term and triple after a year with dedication to the bit, but we can't count on 4chan randomly imploding again if we want a genuine userbase; >that's due to their government trying to turn their IRL home into Airstrip One Especially with this hostile internet takeover.

>>1695133 Reported.

>500 post cyclical suddenly goes down 60+ posts over the course of a few days Hmmm. I don't know why the vols can't just be honest and lock this thread and just say "you can't talk about board meta anymore."

>>1701077 If a thread of subhuman cuckchan pachinko addicts acting like every post is a discord message can stay because "they stay in their containment thread", then this can stay.

>>1701077 >>1701795 At this point you guys should just take the hint and leave, being persistent on staying despite you hate how things are is no different than a cuckchanner and their 20+ year old Stockholm syndrome and their engineered console war variations. >inb4 I wanna keep complaining You already know how it ends up for the 50th time just from this thread. Unironically playing video games is a better use of your time than this.

>>1701966 I'll stay and complain, take your all or nothing viewpoint and shove it, nigger. There are still threads I like here.

>>1702017 >I'll stay and complain, take your all or nothing viewpoint and shove it, nigger. There are still threads I like here. >I'll stay on this board where the vols hate me and want to replace me with people I hate because I want to post on some irrelevant thread Actual cuck mindset.

>>1702017 JUST FUCKING HIDE AND FILTER THE THREADS YOU DON'T FUCKING LIKE YOU GODDAMN TURBO GORILLA PAVEMENT APE NIGGER!

>>1701966 OK, I have to disclaim I completely disagree with >>1701795, his complaint is not mine. >being persistent on staying despite you hate how things are is no different than a cuckchanner and their 20+ year old Stockholm syndrome and their engineered console war variations So this actually forms the crux of my issue, because I know from looking at page archives and /site/ what went down in this thread, the vols are removing anything relating to their decision in banning at least one guy who was complaining about >>1687458 and those types overrunning the board, probably banning even more posters who were speaking up about it, trying to use Rule 1 as a catchall to wield the banhammer. In my time lurking here and I've seen all sorts of shit I've never seen something blatantly remind me of the social media BS I come here to escape. As a person who used to live in Hong Kong, this reminds me of 寻衅滋事罪/"picking quarrels and provoking trouble" from the Chinese Communist Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picking_quarrels_and_provoking_trouble where they would take a law from their constitution and stretch its meaning to arrest anybody they didn't like, regardless of the legitimacy. I get the same vibes here. >>1695274 If anything the picture I'm seeing is that the administration wants >cuckchanner(s) and their 20+ year old Stockholm syndrome and their engineered console war variations here for some reason and are banhammering anybody poking them about it. The logs are so weird. >Use this thread to talk about meta stuff here only. >Also, if you bring up anything regarding the meta, we will bring down the banhammer. If my ID changed, I'm just trying to clarify my position here. As a side note, wow, I hate my provider, such slow speeds since moving to burgerica

>>1696127 >even when taking into account the drop off that non 4chan imageboards have been experiencing for the last half decade. 4chan itself is massively slowing down too.

>>1702053 >You can't make me use the male bathroom! I am a real wahman! Just ignore me if it really bothers you! Or you could just use /gacha/ as intended.

>>1696127 >weirdly slow If you swing the banhammer around a la meatspin, you shouldn't be surprised when user activity drops off a cliff.

.se is giving 502s, what gives?

>>1689123 That good bunch of kids sure love poaching from cuckchan

>>1708527 Sounds like you have a shitposter problem You should try getting your beloved janitors to solve that instead of bringing it here

>>1708527 >>1689123 the bunch of kids are good cuz theyre sucking his cock

>>1708527 Corean slop was a mistake.

>>1708527 >Bypassing cuckchan's filters to shill your board there >as if they need more posters >when you carry the whole boards PPH I'm guessing it's not fast enough for them, Do they want 100 gorillion bazillion posts per nanosecond?

>>1708692 /bag/ is faster now than before the poaching started

>>1708692 Nothing good ever comes out of koreans or fans of their slop.

>>1707837 Yup it is dead again for whatever reason.

>>1708527 seen this identical screenshot posted on bag to try and stir shit, this guy is a shitposter 100%

>>1707837 It's back now.

>>1714061 gee, i wonder who they learned that from

>>1714077 Not him, but I did notice posts (including my own) making fun of the refugees getting wiped. And they weren't as spergy as those. >screenshots??? No, unfortunately. I wouldn't have capped random posts.

>>1714082 Do you remember which thread they were in?

>>1714088 I believe the lounge was one, many were in very newfag-y threads made during the refugee crisis that were since deleted/pruned. There's almost 500 threads on the board, it's hard to keep track of what happens where

>>1714091 >>1714088 >>1714082 You guys realize whose bait you're taking, right?

>>1714097 I'm talking about something separate, I can tell that was probably a board sperg, I don't care which, but I absolutely have seen posts mocking the refugees and their behaviour deleted. Mainly during the crisis but persisting to a lesser degree since.

>>1714099 I'm a different vol from >>1714097 I took a look over the past 4 days for anything happening inside the lounge thread, and I could only find a report closure which did not result in a ban or deletion, and a post deletion for the spam bot. Not saying I don't believe you, but if you could remember any other thread where it happened within the last two days (Deleted posts are permanently purged after two days) I can at the very least try to tell you why it was deleted. >>1714073 You're replying to niggerpill. All bans or deletions containing niggerpill in the past two days had a niggerpill post with a soijak in it.

>>1714099 >I don't care which Maybe you should, not only are his arguments full of holes and not only he's samefagging but intent is important. Not giving internet schizophrenics attention is also a important skill to have. That said, the only situation that you are talking about that I can think of is one sperg that went around disrupting threads with posts that was borderline babble and contributed nothing to the discussion at all. I don't think I was the only one who deleted his posts, either. If you happen to see a deleted posts with my name on the log that you don't think should have been deleted you are free to ask about it here and I'll either give you an apology or an explanation.

.se is down again.
