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.
