>7Chan was originally formed as a counter-statement to 4chan. We had grown tired of the shitty memes, administrative injustices, and other issues. So, after creating the site, we added rules - written and otherwise - that would help us enforce our own culture and keep 4chan shittiness out.
>Nearly a decade later, and the world has changed. Even complete newbies who find us from Google are familiar with the culture 4chan has spread to the Internet at large, and many of the memes they have perpetuated have become common parlance.
>We now acknowledge this change and, after a unanimous Administrative Council vote (including Saz), we are no longer enforcing bans on greentext, image macros, and many of the other unwritten rules. I am currently going through the ban list and removing the bans made under these rules. If you were banned for the unwritten culture rules, please contact us in IRC.
><Sazpaimon_> we lost this battle, and im okay with that

Cowards.

I remember moot said something about how alternative image boards can't survive unless they serve a niche. The ones that are just ``we're like 4chan but better'' but offer no product differentiators are doomed to fail.

Hispachan succeeded because it was for a different audience -- a different language. Krautchan was somewhat popular because of the /int/ board, though it died when 4chan created one too.

There are still some niche boards. /prog/ boards will always be around. The ``daily programming thread'' in /g/ just isn't the same.

If you want to make your own imageboard, it has to be about a specific topic, not just general shit. An image board about tea. An image board about hiking.

You can't have a million boards. Then you'll get like 2 posts per year. Boards need momentum. There will never be momentum when you subdivide your community into too many sections.

Then again, most people are concentrated on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and so on.

You can either become irrelevant by reminiscing about ``the good old days'' or you can adapt to survive in this changing world.

No, I'm angry at the current state of affairs.

It's all the fault of republicans. Everything was perfect under Obama.

If y'uor "adapting to survive", you're behind the curve

you're either an innovator making the changes in the world that you're complaining about or you're just another out-of-touch pleb
