/d/ - Hentai/Alternative

Think that's beyond us.

Although I wanna talk to hotwheels about doing some 7ch mergers

they have a /d/ over there

It is a porn board,

And it's also affected by the amount of content that is produced out there.

I'm kinda specific about the porn I download since I don't download it just for the sake of reuploading it, and I browse the internet more than the files on my computer.

There's also the subject of quality of the porn.

Western artists tend to be really bad, I feel less likely to post on a thread if it's filled with art that doesn't appeal to me.

I should probably contribute more to /d/ considering the amount of time I spend here.

I mainly just lurk here becuase the ecchi and hentai boards are dead, come to think of it I should go and post there anyway and maybe it will help revive them.

>boards dead

>still fapped to it a few days in a row

wow, 7 years of my life, from my first childhood faps, I spent on 4chan /d/, and now I move on into the waste; the void.

it's been good lads

Imo

Halfchan's /d/ and /h/ arose in a time where collections of this material were rare and inevitably lacking quality. No english site compiled such massive quantities of user vetted erotic images.

Now the rest of the net has caught up. For comparison /monster/ is active because their fetish is still niche, /d/ and /futa/ aren't because, frankly, it's mainstream fap fodder now.

>>6157

Shouldn't monster hentai just be a part of /d/ though?

>>6158

/d/ doesn't waifu as much, nor world build.

>>6192

I suppose, /Monster/ just seems to be full of CYOA threads. Monster girls themselves are /d/ related though.

My libido isn't as strong as it used to be.

Any way of boosting it?

>>6227

Try long term edging and exercise

>>6227

Libido factors:

1. stress (aka exhaustion, aka depletion),

2. cardiovascular health,

3. metabolic health (hormones).

There's nothing else to libido.

Correlation is no causation: ageing is not cause; they are cause.

The main problem with growing /d/ is that other/d/ is bigger, and for most people, that's all that matters.

I can think of two (non-mutually exclusive) solutions:

1. Focus more on quality over quantity.

2. Do something that would be against other/d/'s rules. Discussion-focused content is the first thing that comes to mind, though I have no idea about its appeal. There's also stuff that's banned on other/d/, like >>2842.

>>6905

>2.

Discussion, although im not against it, easily tends to lead to flaming.

>Hey, is X fetish Y (weird, gay, psycopathic, ect)?

>>anyone that says otherwise is pathetic and in denial

And this is from a recent post here; i hate it, it just misses the point even trying discussion.

Not surprisingly, it's easy to make insults directed at certain fetishists.

There's a bunch of smaller boards for stuff that should have been in /d/ in the first place but had to break off due to the shitty non-futa rule and that 8/d/ also doesn't accept guro/scat. The eastern/western stuff also drives people away from "general" threads. I would suggest rebranding and advertising but there's a huge chance that it won't matter anyway

Just a suggestion, but maybe lower the image count to 3 or less for the time being. It may seem counter intuitive to a porn board, but it would cause posts to reach autosage more often and force people to post more.

>>7107

Can your Firefox handle over 2 GB RAM? Mine just crashes when it meets the 32-bit ceiling.

Is there an 8/d/ archive yet?

I'm not sure if it's good or bad. But maybe better a public archive than illusions of not being archived secretly.

>>7207

Now that I think about it, I haven't seen it go over 2GB in the Task Manager.

I assume it writes all the data thats not being used to a temporary cache or something, i don't know.

But it gets fairly slow with that many tabs and more likely to crash if you open something with a video or swf.

>>7209

8archive.moe seems to be the main 8ch archive, but the BO has to enable it on the board settings.

I think we should copy /monster/ and make a CYOA/worldbuilding threads.

>>7224

I wouldn't opposed to this.

>>6115

I also wish 7/d/ wasn't pretty dead. TG/TF threads were amazing years ago, and then the board died when they were extra strict on furry and content stopped for long ass time.

>>7207

Waterfox is an option, yes?

>>7688

>using windows

firefox is 64 bit native on 64-bit Linux and OSX.

but yeah, waterfox would break the 4GB barrier. BTW, it isn't 2. it's 4.

on another note, since halfchan was bought by the guy from 2ch who leaked user information, we might get an influx of new users. :D

>>7690

>implying half/d/ can think for themselves

Nigga, they don't even know what Warhammer is. They're so new it's physically painful.

>>7207

linux 64 bit firefox master race

Anyway, yeah. Windows firefox works fine with up to 3 or 4. And if you run windows and therefore don't have 64 bit firefox (unlike all other platforms), waterfox is an option.

My laptop charger died since time ago.

It's rather annoying not being able to browse ero as efficiently nor being able to contribute to the board at all.

>>6063

Making another "/d/ is for dicks" thread on a much less well known and less trafficked version of 4chan is simply going to fail. Period.

The only possible distinction you could get that would cause 8ch/d/ to gain any traction would be to get rid of the fucking dickgirls/futa/shemales/sissyfag/etc.

Why? Because halfchan is already simply stiff with that sort of thing so /d/ here has nothing unique to offer.

When you get down to it, classic /d/ is really a split between:

1."Gross" stuff (bodily functions, super fat, farts, stink, BO, diapers, scat, piss, sweat, etc.)

2.Dicks (dickgirls, futa, shemales, herms, sissy shit, etc.)

3.Bodymod (inflation, corruption, multiple, growth/shrinking, giants, etc.)

4.Monsters (tentacles, bugs, xeno, demons, succubi, monster girls, etc.)

There should really be 4 boards, media and style agnostic (nobody who isn't a total autist gives a shit if it's western or not, assuming it's drawn well), that correspond to those four groups, and content should basically fall through from top to bottom (so the first group that it matches would be where it goes) into those four. If something doesn't fit into any of those categories, or it's not clear if it does or not, then post it wherever seem like a best idea (Put another way, a "everything else" /d/ board would be a bad idea)

So some scenarios:

Anon wants to see tiny little sissyboi being pegged by woman with giant cock--obviously #2

Anon wants to see bloated hairy women who stink--obviously #1

Anon wants to see girls being converted into mindless sluts: probably #3

Anon wants oviposition: probably #4 unless he wants futas involved (and #2 if he wants futas)

Anon wants breast growth: #3

Yes, this isn't a perfect scheme, but it's better than the train wreck you have now.

tl;dr: making it so that users have to expend as little effort as possible to find what they want is your only sure bet to gain traction.

>>9334

>board on a well known

Fixed my stupid typo

>>9334

TBH just require people to tag their threads in the OP or title. The catalog has a filter function and the pages don't work right anyway so the catalog is kind of a necessity either way.

Splitting into several boards has the same problems as 8chan in general (obscure boards are difficult to discover) made worse by the fact that even 4/d/ is pretty slow in the first place, and it makes it more effort to check up on threads.

Keeping everything in /d/ makes it easier to track and to passively discover new shit. Probably also makes moderation less of a pain.

>>9334

>4 separate boards that would all be dead except for /futa/

No thanks.

>>7207

How is it Firefox's fault you have a 32 computer?

>>9344

Honestly this is true

I've been frequenting /d/ style boards for over seven years, and one thing I've noticed is that futa (for whatever reason) tends to be a driving force. That and monstergirls, but they have their own, quite popular, board already.

I don't propose a no rules type of board by any means, but this ban on futa is fucking retarded. Saying things like

>oh you can make a new board if you want to have that kind of content

is fucking retarded, we all know what happens when new boards get made. Nine times out of ten they fade into obscurity and everyone either goes back to the old board or moves to a new chan entirely.

Splintering communities is just a bad idea, and the rules on old /d/ aren't perfect. But that's why we're here isn't it? So we can build a community by and for the users. One that has rules that everyone who really cares about the community can agree on.

>>9341

Forcing tagging won't work, that expects users to be smart/honest/actually do work.

>>9377

Which is why evicting futas makes more sense than the opposite: right now /d/ is the closest there is to a catch all on 8c. If you banned futa, it would only temporarily inconvenience them, but they'd soon coalesce somewhere else.

The idea isn't to make a bunch of boards up front (that WILL definitely fail), but to splinter off the dominant thematic elements once they begin to swamp everything else.

Hey guys, I just want to chime in here: futa isn't banned at this moment. Not enough people have voiced their opinion on the split as of yet. You can still post it as much as you want, wherever you want

>>9341

Yep, and normies scared of seeing a dick don't belong on any /d/. Ever.

>>9344

No /futa/ would be dead too. After the exodus /d/ had a ton of content until the split, then both boards died and never recovered. Only after everything was practically dead did the board switch hands.

>>9377

Pretty much, these idiots don't know what they're talking about.

>>9417

I don't believe you. You've clearly just been waiting to force this shit because you're one of the dumbasses who thought it was a good idea in the first place. Your dead board is pretty clear proof shit doesn't work.

>>9460

I was thinking a little more coarse grained than that. After all no one would think to make separate boards for big vs huge cocks.

>>9429

why the fuck would you be in favour of banning futa from /d/?

>>9477

The rule originated from when we first moved to 8chan/d/ from 4chan/d/, where futa took up a grand majority of the content. Not everyone liked this, because futa content would be all they'd find for pages and pages. It took up enough of the board that the split didn't significantly fracture the community. Think of it like /vg/'s creation on 4chan: there were enough constantly-created general threads that eventually a board was made to house them. This way, people who wanted to see general threads could see them, but people who weren't interested didn't have to see them every time they went to the board.

Most people agreed with it at first, because all the content they wanted was still there, just in a different place. Both /futa/ and /d/ were active and had lots of regular posters, but eventually Emiko (the original /d/ owner) lost control and a new owner was put in place. He removed the ban on futa on /d/, and it came back. A vocal group of people were glad that it was back, but there were still some dissenters. The new board owner deleted these posts, however, and this happened about a year ago so I doubt there are any archives.

>>9488

This post is a lie. A breakdown of the stats still exists here: http://8ch.net/d/res/3053.html

Both boards were practically dead.

>I might be open to promoting other boards, especially on a reciprocal basis, but I think the board-tag system and the board's users are in a better position to do that. We only have ~22 active users and average about 1 post per hour. Even with the redirect and futa posters being forced out of /d/, /futa/ only has ~10 active users and is often listed as having 0 posts per hour.

As for 'you could only see futa'

>Part of the purpose of reallowing futa is to, hopefully, boost the population here and undo some of the damage done by the previous exclusion given time. Looking at half-/d/ I came up with a quick count of ~25% of the threads being about futa, I counted 38 of 150 threads. Obviously there are also futa posts in threads where it's relevant but I have no problem with people specifying they don't want futa in their thread. As it is we obviously don't have too many futa threads and if it becomes an issue I think it can be resolved by limiting the number of threads that are essentially the same and people who don't like futa actually posting threads and content.

The 'dissenters' were shitting up the threads, so that Q&A thread was created.

>Part of the reason I created this thread was actually an anon claiming to be the owner of /futa/ and a few people finally saying something about the change. Unfortunately I had to remove some posts from the current futa thread because we wound up with 5 out of 6 posts being not-futa, which wasn't fair to the OP, and the discussion warranted it's own thread anyways.

The truth is the split absolutely killed the board, as anyone who was here at the exodus can attest.

>>9539

That thread was made 12/31/14, shortly after the last board owner took over. There's an internet archive snap shot here: https://web.archive.org/web/20141218132839/http://8chan.co/boards.html from 12/18/14 showing /d/ at 22 active users and /futa/ at 6. Already pretty much how it is now.

Here: https://web.archive.org/web/20140922020924/https://8chan.co/boards.html is an archive from September 22nd, around the time of the exodus showing 308 users on /d/.

In between futa was banned from /d/ and people were told they had to go to /futa/. Draw your own conclusions from there, but don't blame others for your failure.

>>9540

And here's September 30, 2014 showing /d/ still has 260 users, although obviously that's down some

https://web.archive.org/web/20140930201025/https://8chan.co/boards.html

And then here's October 10th showing the sudden drop to just 29 users

https://web.archive.org/web/20141010211718/https://8chan.co/boards.html

Well before the board switched hands. So what happened?

Here is September 19th with a post (from the 18th) from the board owner telling people to go ahead and post futa: https://web.archive.org/web/20140919094635/https://8chan.co/d/

Here is October 10th with a post from September 23rd telling people futa is being split: https://web.archive.org/web/20141010212752/https://8chan.co/d/

So what happened in September that caused October and every month after to see less than 50 active users after initially having literally hundreds? Futa was banned from /d/ and told to go to /futa/

>>9545

> I just know that it wasn't our decision to move futa to another board.

No, you don't. You're also wrong. Either way don't lie and blame other people when you and the original board owner are the ones who killed it.

>>9545

Also that wouldn't explain why other porn boards can support hundreds of users, or at least multiple times as many as /d/ after you split. /Furry/, /Cuteboys/, and /Monster/ all have over 200 users. /wx/, /erp/, /cutegirls/, /loli/, /hgg/, /lewd/, and /hypno/ all have over 50. Fucking /hypno/ and /hgg/ have maintained more users than /d/, are you really trying to say those are more popular fetishes than /d/?

>>9546

>>9548

Look at the very two archives you posted off the boards page. Notice how many boards were active. 4816 boards to just 1630 in a month. Why? Did something happen? Did HW just go around deleting boards? No, they weren't popular. The initial shock on 8chan was that anyone could make a board, and anyone could put whatever they wanted on it so long as they followed the very few global rules. People tried to continuously splinter /d/, but Emiko kept saying that futa was the only fetish large enough to necessitate the split. He wouldn't sponsor another split because it would make /d/ too small. The same reason I haven't enforced a futa ban applies here: it would make /d/ too small.

/d/ slowed down because people were leaving, it wasn't slowing down because there wasn't any futa content. Would people who only want tentacle stuff care if futa was gone? What about diapers or nipple penetration? Or traps, or slime?

You can keep thinking that it was a decision that got reverted in a few months, but I know it wasn't.

>>9549

As a general rule on any internet forum the board with name recognition has more users than the one without it and the more general board has more users than the more niche board.

>Would people who only want tentacle stuff care if futa was gone? What about diapers or nipple penetration? Or traps, or slime?

Go to any of the most popular alternative hentai sites on the internet and look for futa. It's always one of the most popular types of content. Futa is a driving force behind alternative hentai communities, like it or not.

>You can keep thinking that it was a decision that got reverted in a few months, but I know it wasn't.

>I know

Do you have even a single fact to back that up? A shred of evidence? Or just your gut feel that infinite /d/ won't work like every other site on the internet for reasons unknown?

You've completely ignored the question: why have other, more niche less popular fetishes maintained more success? And without the instant 'name recognition' /d/ had?

>>9553

People who want futa would go to /futa/. People who didn't would go to /d/.

Go back and read my last reply. Don't just shitpost.

Furry was never allowed on /d/, so its traffic is irrelevant to /d/. It's also not exclusively a porn board.

Cuteboys is also 3D, which doesn't belong on /d/.

Monster is also not exclusively a porn board.

>>9554

>Other lewd traffic is irrelevant

Why are more niche boards more popular than /d/ when that doesn't happen on other boards on the internet? When those boards had to promote from scratch and couldn't rely on name recognition? Why is there a whole list of lewd boards for significantly more niche fetishes than /d/ that are successful? Do you REALLY believe /hypno/ fetish is more popular than /d/?

>People who want futa would go to /futa/

Except they didn't. And people who don't want futa didn't go to /nofuta/. Where are all these people who supported the split? Why aren't they on one/both boards now?

>Do you have even a single fact to back that up? A shred of evidence? Or just your gut feel that infinite /d/ won't work like every other site on the internet for reasons unknown?

Please answer the question.

>>9555

At this point you're just shitposting. I've already answered your question and explained myself.

>>9567

You really haven't. Saying 'I know' doesn't actually mean you know or have proof. Claiming a thing 'would happen', even though it didn't is stupid. Claiming simple, direct, questions are shitposting is just your way of weaseling out of the fact that you don't have any proof for what you claim to know or that no matter how many individual things you can try to excuse away, in aggregate the evidence strongly supports futa being a popular, important, staple of /d/ style communities and segregation not working.

I am not surprised this is the intellectual level of people who thought it was a good idea to take futa out of /d/.

>>9574

I didn't decide on the futa ban in 2014. If you just want to complain about something that happened over a year ago and was reverted in 3 months, be my guest. Complaining won't change the past, and if you had read the thread, or one of the several posts I've made on the subject (or even just the rules), futa is not currently banned, so stop whining about a decision that no longer affects you.

>>9584

Bringing up subjects that have already been addressed over and over again trying to cause trouble is shitposting.

The corruption thread needs more attention

>>10353

>Post as many dicks on as many things as you want. You can even post loli futa if you want.

Sorry, you misunderstood my question. Or maybe I misunderstood your answer. Or maybe you don’t want to answer it. The question was whether it’s acceptable to encourage >>>/d/ users to use >>>/futa/ for futa content.

Since I don’t want to be banned, I won’t repeat this question for the third time, LOL.

>He was just shitposting to annoy me.

My advice: a good style would be just telling him that and refusing to give further answer. Ban is unnecessary, both on common-sense grounds and per your own rule §7, especially in a thread such as Meta created to contain exactly such kind of problems. Ban is a weapon of last resort.

I prefer to react when I spot something wrong happening to somebody else rather than wait until it happens to me.

And another question: >>>/futa/ allows non-hentai futa, such as Western or even photography. I doubt you will allow that in /d/, will you?

A reminder that 4chan’s /d/ used to allow Dmitrys futa and now it doesn’t. It’s gone full Japanese.

My guess is that your answer >>10353 relates to the fact that I have posted a furry futa in >>10322. So now I know that this is allowed.

>>10355

>It’s gone full Japanese.

Truly a sign of quality moderation

>>10361

hey fucking shitbag retard, the moment you ban futa from this board its fucking doesnt matter if this board get populated its gonna be dead in days. Also your retarded babeling about splitting makes users go away.

Die in a fire, thanks

>>10366

Hey, this is not 4chan, mind your language.

He doesn’t want to ban it. I want.

Not because I don’t like futa

but because I feel it belongs in >>>/futa/ .

Why do you want futa if you fap to other things?

>>10365

>>10366

Reading comprehension is hard.

>>10368
