/meta/ - 8chan Discussion

>>74111

GG as a meme hit it's peak, no matter how much they deny it. People tired of the Social Justice shit heading back to 4chan

Also the /int/ drama with them fucking with all the major boards this month has taken it's toll on the site.

It's no big deal. If we stay at this traffic, 8chan will be fine. Still the number 2 imageboard in the world

people realized there is no difference between the top boards here and the top boards on 4chan. in fact, 4chan is less moderated than some of our top boards (/v/ /a/ /pol/)

>>74115

this

can't believe I'm saying this but

4chan has better moderation

our /pol/ is better though just because theres less cuck posting / race baiting although that's been changing quite a bit lately

I have also noticed it seems like people have really given up on making new boards, there hasn't been a serious attempt to fork a major board besides /int/ in a long time

>>74118

And yea, 8ch was always unbearable shit. I can't wait to see how much this site's user percentage goes down when HW finally bans botnets.

I'm going back to 4chan with everyone else, see ya.

We were growing at a faster pace than 4chan, we reached 1/3rd of 4chans audience in just 2 years, that's unheard of, we were featured on international news numerous times, and we even befriended a few celebs

What could we possibly be missing?

I think we need to revamp this sites design, make it easier to find niche boards and such, and drop the retarded claim system after a board has been purged for inactivity

>>74122

That's because shit tons of us moved from halfchan to here as well as bunch of people came here from reddit. Plus, the internet is way way more populated than it was 12 years ago.

One of the blessings of 8chan is also a curse. The ability to create our own board means we'll have more niches than big groups, and we appears slower and less populated than halfchan. Slow boards means less people wanting to join in. The only reason why Reddit have lots of people despite being similar to 8chan is because they're catered to normalfags.

>>74118

>Something Awful

What actually happened with them? Was it just a raid or something, cuz I've heard other anons mention them but I never decided to be a newfag about it and ask until now :)

>>74122

>I think we need to revamp this sites design, make it easier to find niche boards and such, and drop the retarded claim system after a board has been purged for inactivity

A better idea is to just delete all niche boards and force more traffic into the larger ones to make them faster and therefore more fun to post in. But that's against the idea of 8ch, so it hopefully won't happen.

>>74119

>I'm going back to 4chan with everyone else, see ya.

LOL, good riddance :)

There is literally nothing wrong with 8chan except /int/ maybe.

Growth is also not constant and automatic, it depends on people creating boards and promoting them, it has spikes.

5 FUCKING THREADS ON HOW 8CHAN IS DYING IN /meta/, FUCKING WHY

We get it, we are going to end up the next 7chan or 4chon with a niche userbase, or not, maybe HW implements more shit and people end up migrating here eventually, I don't give a crap I'm not going back to halfchan. But stop spamming ffs

>>74136

7chan was never this big

http://stats.4ch.net/8chan/allboards.php

Looks like we're increasing traffic. At least according to post count. I don't know how the site in the OP calculates traffic.

>>74136

Mate, /meta/ has been spammed far more in the past :^)

a measly 5 defeatist threads are nothing

also

> not blocking botnet statistics

this shows the number of RETARDED users and hides the number of "actual users".

>>74142

>>74138

Senpei noticed me!

I still don't know why anons all over the site are panicking so much. It's going fine as far as I see. I'm really happy that /tech/ is active and is not as cancerous as 4/g/.

While I was sympathetic towards GG, I was never really in it but I'm glad for the fact that we now got an active IB that is not 4chan. If you preferred alternative image boards, 8ch is a godsend.

I also don't see how 3rd parties collect those stats. I'm not sure how reliable that are considering a significant portion of anons are anti-botnet as fuck.

I wouldn't be too manipulated by panicfags as looking objectively, 8ch is the best IB around maybe bar nntpchan.

Just introduce people who you think are worthy here and we'll be fine. Don't be afraid to contribute even if board is slow, don't take baits, etc.. I dunno just have fun duh. I'm having it.

Chill out, no need to be a try hard.

>>74146

That graph is fucked, it must be doing something weird where it measures cumulative pageviews, refreshing once a week rather than pageviews/hour or whatever.

But as far as I can tell, OP is full of shit.

Why are some people insisting we still have a traffic measuring contest with 4chan? 4chan has been around longer and it only seems natural that they'd have more traffic. Just go where you want to go. I'm absolutely fine with our traffic because I prefer a slower posting environment. Also evidence or explanations on why 4chan's mods are better than ours? I only really go to /v/ and /a/, sometimes other boards, but the rules generally seem relaxed. Plus /a/ doesn't seem too strict on adhering to board rules as the traffic lends to month long threads, I'll admit to the thinly veiled recommendation thread that lasted maybe a week or two.

First of all, heres the problem:

1. You faggots seem to think that top boards= the entire chan. Some of you guys don't even check out lower boards. Some of the best boards on here are the ones that don't have 4chan equivs. Stop only browsing the top boards.

2. Acting like Elitist cunts only drove people out. Stop that shit. If you want to grow, you gotta stop shooing newfags away.

>>74116

Agree and this is a huge problem.

Pressure hotwheels for this solution: http://8ch.net/operate/res/14529.html

Looking at my humble home board and seeing it still exactly as slow and quality-centric as I always liked it, I can't help but not really care about such statistics.

>>74174

> 8chan is over moderated

it's not like you can just create your own board though. I mean, that would fix the problem of disagreeable moderation right there.

When a user views a page, but does not post, is the user's IP address stored in the page view log? Or does 8ch simply record that a page view happened?

Second, related question. Imagine anon1 is browsing 8ch over a VPN that uses shared IPs. anon2 is also browsing over the same VPN with the same shared IP. The following sequence of events then happens:

anon2 breaks the law, and his IP is subsequently banned for violating the global rule.

anon1 tries to post a legal topic to a legal board, and sees that his IP was banned for illegal activity.

anon1 disconnects from the VPN. Now anon1's IP is his "real" IP.

The page anon1 is viewing auto-refreshes while anon1 is not connected to his VPN, meaning that a pageview happened while anon1 was connected from his "real" IP.

anon1 disconnects from 8ch.

My question is: given that the board refreshed while anon1 was connected from his "real" IP, and given that anon1 was previously connected using a shared IP that broke the global rule, will anon1's "real" IP be associated in any way with the rule violation? Does 8ch "connect the dots" between IPs? Practically speaking, if a law-enforcement agency later requested data pertaining to the rule violation, would anon1's "real" IP be handed over?

Another way of putting it: if I connect over a VPN and receive a shared IP but I use the VPN inconsistently, and another person using the same VPN and the same shared IP does something stupid, is 8ch going to point the finger at me when law enforcement comes knocking?

Last question, relates to my previous questions: does 8ch store sessions? For example, can this happen:

anon connects to 8ch from IP address 1

session 1 starts with connection from IP address 1, action recorded in "session 1" object

anon views board A from IP 1, action is recorded in session 1

anon views board B from IP 1, action recorded in session 1

anon changes IP from 1 to 2, action recorded in session 1

anon posts to board B from IP 2, action recorded in session 1

anon disconnects from 8ch, action recorded in session 1

session 1 ends with terminate signal from IP 2, action recorded in session 1

session 1 stored in database for x amount of time meaning all this data is linked together in a series of related db entries

hopefully hotwheels can answer if he's not too busy. I read the user privacy pdf, but it doesn't appear to explicitly prohibit any of the scenarios I mentioned here.

how do you accidentally manage to bump a thread that's been dead for over a month

>>74111

holy shit that similarweb website is disgusting to navigate

as expected of the jews

>>74122

What's missing is stability and the fact that there's a legitimate alternative to fall back on that's more stable than ever.

Is it safe?

/intl/ won

>>81793

This 8chan doesn't have a moderation problem it has a shitposter problem.

When over half the threads are garbage it's not worth my time coming here anymore I"m out. This place will be dead within a few months.

>>81794

Nice try 4chan shill

>>81794

What the fuck is shitposting anyways? Give me at least 10 examples, whiners.

>>81797

banana ylyl

pedo thread

meme forcing (like all /intl/ does btw, there is nothing even remotely funny about the "milk pill" or the "buffalo pill")

rugarel on /v/

desktop thread on /g/

girls/normalfags on /r9k/

"stormfags" on /pol/

you

>>81798

Sounds like "shit I don't like to me". Not that I like any of those threads either, but get a grip.

>>81801

>""shit I don't like"

>shitposting

>shit

forcing memes can not work and all forced memes have a purpose (usually government)

>>74111

at this point, we have a few choices:

>let 8chan die

the easy way out, we all go back to 4chan or reddit and go back to what we were doing a year ago (or however long it's been since you came here).

>continue posting here and wait for another scandal to pop up.

shit happens all the time in internet communities. next time it does, 8chan will be where the masses go. it's all a matter of how much hype their communities generate. this, however, carries the problems of "hurr newfags" and the fact that 4chan no longer has a single entity (moot) to blame for whatever happens. they have a panel of mods how no one could really point a finger at. it's harder than ever to host an exodus their.

>stage some kind of publicity stunt

/baphomet/, for example, used to consistently get small time media attention, which would attract angsty children who wanted to be part of that shit.

if we get our name out there, users will come, but maybe not the users we want.
