Why?
This site has like, one moderator why would you even consider getting rid of captcha. Considering how simple the captcha system is I'm surprised this side doesn't get spammed to oblivion like the other 90% of naked Wakaba boards.
Kareha textboards should have a different dynamic than imageboards, but because of the dominance of 4chan-like imageboards, textboards are mostly used as imageboards-without-images which is boring. Thus 4-ch is dead.
Because admin deletes you posts when you start discussing the nigger problem. Be a good boy and discuss your anime and videogames, niggers shouldn't concern you, having no kids or job despite your age shouldn't concern you either, play the videogames boy.

There are 7 threads with 'nigger' in the subject line on this board, only 5 of which are permasaged. There are 5 nigger threads on /dqn/ and 2 threads on /current/, none of which are permasaged. The problem isn't your melanin fetish, it's that people would find your posts cringe and pathetically edgy even over on Trump's Twitter knockoff.
There is a sea of difference between saying nigger and killing a nigger. And discussing how you should deport them in nigeria.
Yeah, I'd probably be too overworked to even think straight if I had job and kids. Though I guess it depends on a job.
Hurr durr muh en word hehehehe

That’s the main problem with this site. There’s nothing unique here that would actually encourage people to use it. It’s just a low traffic image board without images. Show this to your friends, I dare you, and what would they see? A dead board with a dozen or so threads with nigger or Jew in the title. There’s nothing that brings people here.
>>108
Being a kareha textboard and being somewhat unintuitive to use, it feels a little nostalgic, but otherwise, yeah, I guess there isn't an immediate appeal. I'll still use it thought ¯\(ツ)/¯
>>108
And yet I remain, probably because every thread isn't filled with nigger or jew and how the world is ending.
I think the thing that brings people her is the fact that there is nothing that brings people here. It's slow, there's nothing in particular. It's just relaxing.
This place will shit itself the second it starts getting new users, tech is just hopelessly outdated.
My friends are here, new users can go shit themselves.
4-ch is dead from your point of view. In actually, 4-ch is still alive.
it is pretty dead for most purposes besides of being an online notepad
>>115 This... I get the feeling there's people mistakenly expecting something else
Even on 2chan, many threads have replies months a part. BBs are traditionally slower. You should really be using BBS software, like Newsboat, to get updates when someone posts.
You guys call it dead because you're zoomers with ADHD,
>>120
Just a little annoying clarification: 2channel, it's called 2channel (it goes by 5ch or 5channel now).
2chan is Futaba, the imageboard.
>>120
I have a similar perspective. I think most people that go on text/imageboards have the expectation that they'll be just an anonymized chatroom*, but really it's a format that enables much slower-paced discussion. I post something on a few threads that I'm interested in, and then check back in a few days or weeks to see how the discussion has progressed. It's like a (slightly) more civilized equivalent of bathroom stall writings.
>It's like a (slightly) more civilized equivalent of bathroom stall writings
I like this analogy.
>>121
There are still threads on 5ch from 2006. That's impressive.
You can get a text board experience if you browse 4chan with w3m
You can use an external browser keybinding for posting too.
it's semi-dead
4-ch isn’t dead. It’s basically a nursing home for oldfags. Every now and then, one of them will die off or can’t make it up the stairs to /dqn/ and activity dips. If a certain someone didn’t scare off new users with their “oh those fucking newfags get off my board!” act, this place would be way more lively. Although I will admit it is pretty funny watching him loose his shit for no reason whenever a kid from Heyuri posts here.
The parker saga was the funniest to me in recent years. If we didn't have autistic newfags like that it just wouldn't be the same. Loved illegally AA raping him and his raccoon.
>>129 I agree, it's part of the fun, and a counterblast to those who say the Eternal September is over
>this website has been dead for over 12 years
lmao. But yeah it's a fucking textboard in [current year] and part of a pretty obscure subculture to boot. I don't think any gatekeeping is even necessary because the format itself and the slow speed (with it's lack of instant gratification) repels social media zombies. Even "New users" who wander in here from 4chan or wherever else are probably already the type to fit in, or otherwise make like 3 posts, get laughed off the board, and never return.
>If a certain someone didn’t scare off new users with their “oh those fucking newfags get off my board!” act
Nobody gets scared off by that. Do newfags like this really think that talking shit to someone online and telling them to fuck off works? That anyone ever heard "omg fuk off bro" and then went "oh i guess im not welcome then i better leave"? Really?
>talking shit to someone online and telling them to fuck off works
I think I have seen people being repelled from boards due to their experience with one or two posters. One poster replies with some edgy racist/transphobic/antisemtic crap, and the newfag says “oh, so this is some gross far right internet hole? Count me out!”
Not quite the same, but I still think making fun of posters who are new has dissuaded new users at least once too.
Of course, on an anonymous forum it's possible that they assimilated and never spoke about it again, but still used the site. But I've seen users with distinct posting styles disappear after getting the piss ripped out of them by other users.
Not just repelled from new boards, I've left boards I've browsed for years purely because of one or two new posters that dominated all conversation and destroyed all existing culture.
I guess it does happen then. Bizarre to me. But maybe that's because my homeboard in the day was /b/ and my introduction to imageboards was being called a fucking faggot newfag and getting gore and other shit spammed at me. I never would have guessed people got run off of an anonymous place before when it's as simple as blending in with everyone else. On a typical forum everyone knows who you are. Places like this take that continual identity out of the equation.
You are completely missing the point.
It has nothing to do with identity and anonymity. People who aren't teenagers don't want to waste their energy on edgy teenagers and they definitely don't want to blend in with annoying retards so they leave. The end.
>>136 Sounds like you didn't lurk enough, or else they wouldn't have noticed your newfaggotry
>>138
Everyone gets called a newfag for shit there. I forget what I even said as my first post. But I've been on imageboards now since 2006. I still get called a newfag and I've been around longer than moot or any of the people calling me one at this point. Nobody ever followed the "lurk moar" thing.
>post deleted
I guess some feelings got hurt. Why is every anonymous space so fucking touchy these days? May as well be on reddit at this point.
2. You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.
Hot take but quantity is always better than quality for image boards.
"But they will ruin our tight-knit community and obscure culture!"
What good is that if only dozen people check the site over the span of a month? I prefer more activity.
>>145
Dumb cunt. Have you even seen 4chan lately?
Quality > Quantity for any website, ever. Giving internet access to the unwashed masses and third worlders has been a gigantic mistake.
What good is any community if any intelligent, meaningful conversation there is drowned out by retarded jabbering?
