/dir/ - 8chan Directory

You sure about that? >>>/chanel/ has <50 posts.

>>90

Try checking the sticky on /beauty/, and how many posts existed after the link to /chanel/ was given.

>>94

*how many posts were made on /beauty/ after

>>95

Both boards look really slow, but I'll add >>>/chanel/, sure. Maybe it'll drive a little traffic there.

missed >>>/soc/

Not shitpost-friendly

>>>/halfchan/

Non-English/Country-specific

>>>/mexico/

>>88

You could make a whole seperate section for gays that includes /cuteboys/ /him/ /hm/ /shota/ /y/ and /lgbt/

>>100

>>>/y/ needs an owner, but I can add a gay section with the other four boards. /lgbt/ will stay separate because it's not a porn board and it's for more than just gay men.

You guys are missing >>>/an/ and >>>/out/ from Hobbies.

>>102

I didn't add boards with less than 1000 posts on my own, but waited for users to suggest them instead. Added.

>>>/deutsch/

>>108

Someone claim it and I'll add it, I've had 3 requests for it now

Missed >>>/in/ from Pornography - Sexual interests and niches

>>110

Check Lifestyles.

>>109

it still is claimed

>>>/deutsch/48398

>>113

Glad he showed up. I'll add them.

>>113

>permabanning a volunteer when his stupid ass hadn't signed on since May 9th

Even if the owner is a titanic faggot, I guess he's back

i'd like to see >>>/hgg/ listed under either pornography or video games. probably pornography.

it's about hentai games and one of the boards i browse frequently even though it's pretty slow.

>>114

>>115

Board owner of /deutsch/ here. I have two accounts, a global volunteer account and my /deutsch/ board owner account. Since I can mod /deutsch/ with the GV account too I usually don't bother to log into my BO account. But I'll do that from now on.

And the ban was a joke, obviously.

>the owner is a titanic faggot

wow ;_;

Can you add either >>>/turul/ or >>>/kocsog/ as Hungarian general discussion?

And maybe add >>>/cute/ next to /c/? And >>>/science/ as an alternative to /sci/.

>>>/lv/ into video games (it's for free & open source games). >>>/imgbc/ to web cultures? >>>/edu/ into hobbies or misc?

>>117

Sorry m8, didn't know

From the outside looking in, it looked like hotpocketry

Your board's here to stay

>>118

Is >>>/turul/ an anime board or a general discussion board? It looked like all anime to me. I don't know Hungarian

The rest, I'll add.

>>116

>>>/hgg/ is under Topical Video Games

>>119

Thanks!

/turul/ is mixed, it's supposed to be anime but at the moment it's mostly random discussion with anime pictures.

>>121

Sounds like it's hard to categorize. I'll just leave it under anime since other, laid-back boards are in there, too.

>>119

>Sorry m8, didn't know

No worries.

>Your board's here to stay

Thanks! The /dir/ project is a really cool idea, appreciating your work.

You're missing /hc/ (hardcore), /preg/ (pregnancy), and /redhead/ in the pornography section.

I just pruned a lot of those due to inactivity, but I can add them again. How do you all think I should handle slow/abandoned boards? It's a little hard to justify keeping boards on when the top post is a 6 day old brownpill.

what do you consider the drop-off point? no on-topic post in the last 7 days seems good to me.

>>173

7-14 days, adjusted for BO activity. An absent BO means I'll be less lenient, since I don't want to direct people to absent boards with nothing but spam on them. If it's just really slow with good content, a clean page 1 and a decent CSS, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Also, I'm reluctant to list /coontown/ since it just looks like a placeholder/raided out shitposting board. There's no real content, just spam. I guess I could put it under other communities.

Added a few boards.

>>176

>>>/airsoft/ could use some love. The board is pretty ded, but had a community a long time ago.

>>178

Added. Also saw some political types referencing some obscure board on Twitter. If you chucklefucks want to talk, please refer all media inquiries to MrSaturday@8chan.co

add /p/ the photography board

cheers

Please add to the pornography list:

>>>/omo/ - Omorashi

>>>/pee/ - Peeing

>>>/piss/ - Golden Nectar

>>>/scat/ - Literally Shitposting

>>187

/p/ is under Arts and Sciences.

>>188

Will do

>paying in IRL real life money to advertise your boring board

to what end

>>190

might be boring, but it sure is useful!

>>190

I didn't pay money, I uploaded the banners before there was a payment system in place, and they ended up being global ads 4free :^)

Just wanna say you got a good thing goin here. Keep it up!

Since you got /hga/ and /hgs/ under your Hobbies category, might as well add /hungergames/ in

I am not sure but i think i saw a font types/tipography board in one of the banners.

Does it exist or did i just imagined it?

>>197

Will add

>>198

See

>>78

It's >>>/type/, HW runs it

>>199

Thanks dude.

/class/ is a board for classical music. Maybe you can put it in hobbies?

>>201

It's going under Arts and Humanities.

>>88

No >>>/my/ though

>>>/cuckquean/ goes under Sexual interests and niches.

>>206

I put it under Lifestyle rather than Pornography because it looked more like a sexuality discussion board than a porn board. Now that you bring it up, "Sexual Interests and Niches" could apply to "Gender and Sexuality Discussion" as well. I'll have to think about renaming it to something else so people know which one's which.

It used to be "Niches and Fetishes," but someone told me that calling something lifestyle-centered a fetish could offend a particular group under it.

>>203

Added, glad to see another nation/language represented

>>>/vex/ board owner here

please list my board, thanks

>>208

Put under Hobbies

>>207

so how did you decide to deal with new and low post count boards?

>>>/polnews/ for politics

>>211

I'll add it, but if it's dead when I check up on various boards (no posts/brownpill-tier shit within a week), then it's gonna go. It's honestly hard to create an effective /pol/ alternative on here, even though the site really needs one.

>/suicide/ added

nice

why the fuck are you removing boards that are still active?

Who gives a shit if its "debatable content" or a raiding board or whatnot?

If its getting a certain number of posts a day and isn't spam it should be on the list, period.

Your job is to list all active boards in an organized way, that aren't just spam. doping /vp/, /webmcams/ and /goodchristian/ is completely ridiculous

>>218

/webmcams/ looks like amateur /hebe/ material. I don't put boards like /hebe/ up because I feel that they place the site in legal danger. I say so in the guidelines.

I might move /goodchristian/ to shitpost friendly or make a separate section for boards like /tex/. Hard for the board to be active when its CSS is fucked.

/vp/ itself has a BO that wants it to die and has said he will log on to lock active threads in an attempt to divert all traffic to /rule34/. Go on the board and see for yourself. If you or someone else that posts on it thinks it should stay, then I'll keep it. /webmcams/ is gone, though.

Also, I have no "job" to do. I don't owe all of you anything other than gratitude for pointing out boards that I may have overlooked, and trust me, I'm very grateful to all that have contributed to this project and humbled by the support that you all have given. I'm not getting cut a check for this. This is a service I provide for 8chan in my free time to try to grow the site. How I go about it is up to me entirely.

>>219

>so how did you decide to deal with new and low post count boards?

It's obvious that this is your board and you can run it how you want.

I'd like if you had low PPH/UID boards up as well.

The question about pol alternatives is not whether they will outdo it in number but simply if they have a purpose, most do.

Until halfchan implodes or this site grows larger than it, /pol/ will be a default board with a lot of users despite how good it is. Most people who even browse /pol/ can tell that it has been in a perpetual decline in quality and it has even surprised me that it has kept getting worse after this june and summer didn't reverse that.

>>220

I keep low PPH/UID boards on here, but discussion boards that aren't used for a week, or boards that are bombed out like /aristoi/ and /goodchristian/ tend to get the axe. File sharing boards, OC boards, or dumping boards like /pdfs/, /killcen/, and /otomad/ get treated differently than discussion boards since they're not centered around activity as much as being a repository to hold information.

What I might do is make a backend board or thread or something that links to requests, so requested boards get a little more leeway as well.

Again, this is a service, but at the same time, it does owners of living, but slow boards a bit of a disservice if I make the users wade through dead/unclaimed boards full of threads that haven't been touched in two months and brownpills to find one that suits them. It's a bit of a tough balance, finding what works when it comes to curating the lists.

>>221

creating yet another board for all this would be ludicrous I agree

so how about a thread that contans boards of all types that are below the threshold for official directory listed in alphabetic order and people can put up a link to their board and a description in the posts that you can add to the list once you have time?

you could do whatever you want to add to that

>>222

I suppose that's an idea. There aren't many threads on here, so keeping an anchored thread with requests and the claims status of those requests would be in order. It doesn't really make much sense to remove a dead board with an active BO, after all.

*edit* On second thought, with the data I was planning on keeping, it would just make the boards put on here easy targets for nuking. Keeping it on a Google doc.

>>219

I was drunk when I made that post, I apologize. Never happened before.

>>224

Been there, you're alright, anon

Could you add a waifu section to the anime board list and but boards such as

>>>/sena/

>>>/tomoko/

>>>/miku/

and what ever other popular waifu board that people masturbate to.

>>226

Check "Lifestyles." Having a waifu is more than a simple fandom :^)

Looks like someone visited /tomoko/ yesterday, I'll throw it up there again if I didn't already.

>>227

Sorry I didn't notice that.

I propose a 'circlejerk' category if there isn't already a thing for groups of friends just talking.

For example, /animus/ (formerly /aneki/) should go there as while many of the users may watch anime it has nothing to do with it.

>>>/raven/ needs to be added

>>239

>Moot's an owl and here's why

My sides

Added

>>238

There's a section under "General Discussion" for pre-existing communities. I'll move /aneki/ there.

>>>/hax/

needs to be in hobbies

>>241

Hacking and pentesting count as computer science, so they stay under Arts & Sciences.

Hey, I first found out about this board today.

Looks nice, good work BO.

However, I'm also departing from 8chan as of today and I've deleted the threads on /undina/ (they were all mine). It's been unlisted for a while now anyways, but now people will find nothing of interest if they go there.

Just letting you know so you can update the index at >>>71

Sexual interests and niches:

/Bimbo/

/Milf/

Gay centered:

/sissy/

/lgbt/

IDK if /lgbt/ counts though, it's not porn for the most part.

>>245

What happened? You and I did some GETball together for a while.

>>247

/lgbt/ is under Lifestyles. I'll look at the rest and categorize them after I eat.

plz add /wwe/ to Hobbies -> topical boards

better than /wooo/, less faggy and more casual

>and needs more traffic ;_;

>>253

Added.

Seeing as you have joined the ubf confederacy you might as well add >>>/leftistpol/ to the politics

>>256

So everyone else knows, I don't join any board rings or anything of the type because it would compromise this board's integrity. It's meant to be unbiased.

>>>/d20/ looks completely dead

tbh quite a few of the boards listed here look dead.

>>258

It was meant to be a bunker. It wouldn't surprise me. I'll be auditing the boards sometime soon.

And yes, a lot of boards are dead if you look at them through 4chan standards. If there was a post on it within the last week, I keep it up. I mean, some boards are very niche, or don't want to be moving at the speed of /v/ and deal with all of the problems that come with it.

a board of rol online, someone says an history and is the dm an the others, players.

>>261

That's not a link.

I can audit them for ya if you want

>>263

I appreciate it, but I've got this. My standards are a little arbitrary.

>>>/politics/

>>>/vp/ can be added back since control has been wrested away from Guy Fieri and the board is active again

>>265

Will add, the site's needed one of these. Just keep at it.

>>266

Good, I hated what he was doing.

Could you add >>>/horse/? It's pretty slow but it meets the criteria. It could go under hobbies/lifestyle in principle, but in practice it's mostly porn.

>>272

First thing I see when I open it up is a girl "milking" a stallion

Doesn't look like much actual horse discussion rather than bronies going 3D, so I'm putting it under porn

>>249

Needed to make a clear statement about /b/ moderation. It's a very special board. Caught Nunu's attention at least, so I have hope for the site again despite the problems with /b/ remaining unresolved. /undina/ is now in a sort of limbo as being way more active than previously and also now a discussion board about /b/ and 8chan policies in general.

Anyways, amaron and koutou aren't around on /pee/ that often so I'm now still the admin for it. It's also still alive, just goes through short comatose periods, so pls re-add. /undina/ is…I don't know, it doesn't really make sense with the name what it is now. It's like a focused 8chan meta thread right now. Like a combination of essays and archival of stuff.

>>274

Well, now parts of /v/ and /pol/ are in open revolt, and it's not astroturfed this time. Times are pretty interesting here, I gotta say.

I'll re-add your board.

>>275

It does give me some hope that 8chan won't just follow the same path.

Consider removing /pol/ from the general politics section

>>>/polmeta/8895

>>278

Well, it still bills itself as a general politics board, and I do see opinions that aren't full blown Natsoc there, though that seems to change more and more each month. Consider writing a review if you're unhappy with the board's direction. Just try to be honest about it and not let the hotpocketry cloud your judgment.

I thought about doing a FAQ-style page on the difference between various big boards and their alts, but I don't want to appear to be too biased.

>>280

You should make it anon. Don't worry if its slightly biased.

Just a note, /vvv/ is back up as a /v/ alternative. Maybe I'll manage to get it back to life.

>>287

I'll re-add it. Are you planning on doing the same thing that the old BOs did, or will you try something new?

>>280

How about something like the following:

> >>>/pol/ - Politically Incorrect

> Comment: While this board is billed as a general politics board, some believe its moderation is biased towards certain opinions. See >>>/polmeta/8895

>>>/rel/

>>>/thought/

Not sure where this would go:

>>>/philosophy/

>>>/yuri/

>>290

Just removed it for being inactive.

>>291

Will add, though it looks very slow.

>>292

I think it's still around, under Arts & Humanities.

>>293

Last post is in September. Not adding it.

I won't be upgrading this until the Infinity Next migration is complete. The site's nearly unusable at the moment, and HW has given up on patching it, instead wanting to accelerate the timetable.

>>>/realnews/

>until the Infinity Next migration is complete

and when might that be?

>>298

Good question. I know they're aiming for about a week or two from now. I'll make a few changes in the meantime, but I won't be devoting as much time as I did in the past until then. Smaller boards tend to bear the brunt of the problems with the site at the moment, and those are what I'm trying to help promote.

That being said, when I made that decision, it was still up in the air whether or not my posts would get wiped on the transition over to Next. Josh said that they won't, so there's no wasted effort in keeping the board updated.

I'd like to suggest >>>/acb/, >>>/bunker/, and >>>/shinchan/. There's also a poll around for fellow /b/rothers who searching for a home after its transformation and, if they want, they can also put in their answer/board for shilling. http://poal.me/i8e0b3

>>437

It looks like they all went back. Not that I'm surprised. They didn't support /1/ either and it's not like there's a shortage of shitposting boards or bunkers on this site. They could leave if they wanted to, but they won't.

I'll re-add them, but I can't imagine them staying up past the next audit.

suggesting

>>>/arda/

All things J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-Earth

It can go in the same section as /lit/

>>>/polarchive/ is missing from the politics one. It's a /pol/ board for infodumps where the BO simply stickies topical threads in order to ensure their survival in the event of a raid. I guess you could also add >>>/polpol/, since it has been here for fairly long

Non-English and Region-Specific Boards

>>>/baltic/ (English/Estonian/Latvian/Lithuanian)

Ideally a less meme-y/more mature alternative to /balt/. Still in its infancy, though.

Arts, Sciences, and Libraries

Libraries

>>>/eternalarchive/

"We are the EternalArchive.

We are a small group of anons that tries to archive as much media, information and data as possible before the bomb called "TPP" hits the internet.

Once this happens we are planning to move our movement to the i2p network where we want to create a new community and share the files we saved."

>06/14/15

>Both boards look really slow, but I'll add >>>/chanel/, sure.

Then why is it not in any of the lists here?

>>452

>06/04/15

Because it was insanely slow and I didn't want boards that got maybe a post every month and a half cluttering up the board.

>>>/jbo/
