4chan should split the /b/ board (130)

1 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2006-04-28 23:27 ID:MUvGvd8x

I think 4chan should follow Futaba's model and make more than one /b/ board. Why?

  1. The board moves too fast. By the time you post to a thread, it's already deleted.
  2. The board is mostly filled with unfunny kopipe. Kopipe wouldn't likely move from one /b/ to another, thus decreasing the problem.
  3. Meme creation has slowed down considerably, mostly due to the boards being flooded with kopipe. Good memes would transfer between the /b/'s, whereas crappy ones would only be posted on one board by those who are forcing it.

Just a thought.

/b/tard holocaust.

They either need to retire /tv/ or make a /ps/ (Perfect Strangers) board.

I'd prefer to let natural selection take out the /b/tards.

/b/ has lost hope. It's just annoying even to have a decent thread without a hundred stupid replies.

106 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2007-09-26 19:35 ID:NJmz1+pb

Ultimately, what this thread is about is the fact that the internet is becoming mainstream. And, after years in the company of people smart enough to set up a computer, we're not ready to accept how stupid most people really are.
On topic, I agree that the /b/ board should be split, with several identical boards to prevent stupid wars between them. With any luck, 4chan's moderators will be willing to handle it again, and we can improve the overall quality of the place.

I really don't care what happens to /b/ or its thousand bastard offspring any more. They're all filled with boring, normal people now. People who have actual conversations about their daily lives. Kids who think it's another clique they can join. And genuine trailer trash that somehow managed to manipulate a keyboard. /b/ was never good, but it used to suck less.

agreed, it's gotten to the point where guro is bad now in /b/. I mean wtf, I can't post flame-cat without getting at least one post that proclaims how horrible of a person I am. And wtf is up with all the camwhore threads? Holy grail? Fuck that shit, where's the mods when you need them? I'd mod the shit out of /b/ if I was mod. Too bad you either have to be rich (snacks) or a good friend of Moot to be a mod...

You couldn't, it's against the rules.

Or, posses a vagina

You fags completely miss the point.

/b/ is all about the stupidity. Indeed, thats what anonymous is about, you can be a (insert group)fag if you want to without giving a shit if anyone likes it or not. You just sit back and enjoy the lulz as they roll in. Someone fails epically? You lol. Someone creates a legendary threadGET? You lol.

/b/ is now, and always has been about the lulz.

You're part of the problem.

B has gotten really shitty lately. I mean, it always was shitty, but the copypasta isn't even funny anymore, and the shops are way less than legendary. All it seems to be now is camwhores and random porn. Remember the days when this shit would actually get saged? :/

Whenever someone takes the initiative to produce their own material in /b/, others seem to get the hint and make it better for everyone. Unfortunately, it seems that to most its more convinient and just as entertaining to say OMG MOTIVATE ME and see a thread full of cruft you've seen 100 times before.

Now's the time to strike. By that, I mean the camwhores are 50% gone, the Gaiafaggots have gone back to school, and I'm also very sure that Newfaggots are out, and if not, are very vulnerable. We should at least ask that white cat Moot to step up a Cookie Banning system. Hell, even the Gaiafaggots have that if you've been to 4chan and tried to come back.

Go back to Encyclopedia Dramatica plox.

420's /b/ is actually pretty decent, though a little slow.

There are no womenz on the interbutt. Therefore, no vaginas.

If this was an imageboard, I'd post the "how-to tape your penis back so it looks like you got a vagina" pic.

For those of you just tuning in, 4chan admins have now throttled /b/. There are significant limits to posting:

  • 30 seconds between replies
  • 45 seconds between replies with images
  • 10 minutes (yes, minutes) between new threads

Also, the following changes were made to how /b/ appears:

  • Limit of 5 posts per thread shown on front page reduced to just 3
  • Limit of 10 threads shown on the front page increased to 15
  • Fewer lines will now be shown per post/reply on the front page

All in all, so far it looks like the changes have made a positive impact.

Copypastas are dumb. Just agree, don't bother me about them.

Seems to be entirely centred around conserving bandwidth.

>>123
If it was to conserve bandwith, why would they increase the limit of threads per page from ten to fifteen?
That's a 50% increase on threads up before they are auto-deleted, plus they've increased to the replies a post can have before being auto-saged to something like 350.

> why would they increase the limit of threads per page from ten to fifteen?

It might prevent someone from having to look for a thread they just created on the second page.

> increased to the replies a post can have before being auto-saged to something like 350.

Cuts down on recreation of dying threads.

Oh lawd, at this rate they'll eventually be up to 1000 posts max like the text boards. It's kind of wierd, this sort of reverse evolution that's come about from westerners being introduced to Futaba-style boards before 2ch-style boards.

127 Name: 404 - Name Not Found : 2007-11-08 19:43 ID:fcg9mrVj

Eevn with the new limits, I can't find a thread I just made on the first page RIGHT FUCKING AFTER I made it.
