>I disagree with this, changing the tech would do nothing to change this site. All that matters for all boards online is community. There is nothing you could add to this bbs to make it better. It's a text board.

New features can be fun in my opinion, and a new looks can be fun as well. But thats my opinion, and this is yours. So we just disagree about technology here.

>It's a text board. It has text. What more could you want? Everything else is up to the users.

Well, even 4-ch has features. It has this link-quote feature, and threads, and ID's, tripcodes, those all features that are more than just text but improve the quality of the board. Those users would be less in ease without them. 4-ch introduced some inovations with the mobile.pl script, thats a feature!

>Community is 99%

I agree, but more like 90%. Its good to have a good software

>One example is auto-update which incentivizes people to stay in threads and chat instead of coming back a few hours later and making high effort posts

Well, I am glad that 4-ch has so many high quality posts, such as the many thoughtful and long replies we have seen in this thread. With an auto-update, maybe people would just post single words or small and meaningless insults and accusations.
