/meta/ - 8chan Discussion

you have my vote

And after a while you'll start treating Josh exactly as you're treating HW now.

Because right now you're treating Josh and HW exactly like people used to treat HW and moot. But praising the admin for no reason doesn't get you replies so you flipped it upside down until HW doesn't want to interact with the community at all anymore, just like what happened with moot.

underrated post

This thread is idiotic.

I'm sure hotwheels can figure out for himself what he wants to do. This kind of projection is singularly unhelpful and the whole thread can probably get moved to /meta/ without issues.

Bad idea.

Administration and coding development are vastly different mindsets, and each is a full time job in itself. This is no criticism of Josh, but he's no polymath of organizational and technological complexity. Josh is exactly who we need to bring our image board system into the twenty first century, and that's plenty and enough.

As for HW, we don't need to be invoking his presence at all hours of the day for every trendy little freakout. I'd be happy if he'd put in an appearance one a week or so to respond to all the crazy, and an occasional heads up when something really serious needs to be dealt with.

If holding someone to any semblence of a standard makes for "irrational praise" then by your standards even expecting the site to work tomorrow is being "entitled". Fuck off.

The complaints about Hotwheels didn't occur in a vacuum.

People are legitimately concerned about the ever-increasing captcha, increasing rulecuckery, the corruption and nepotism, etc.

>>83110

I don't think you know what nepotism means

The same people have been posting this repeatedly on basically every board to stir some sort of internal schism. This idea is doomed to fail because not a single person wants me to run 8chan, not even myself.

Who the "same people" are isn't really important, though. It doesn't matter if you assign a name to them. People blame the International board, Goons, whatever. It's irrelevant. There are people who like drama and this is an attempt at creating it.

>>83112

Make all OPs on /operate/ auto lock so the only response can be from you or HW.

>>83112

>people post that they want you to run the site

>nobody wants it

Sounding pretty schizophrenic here pal.. Are you saying if ol' freddit kicked the bucket that you wouldn't accept it if it was offered to you?

>>83113

What I would like to do is encourage people to post technical issues directly into github, then make /operate/ into more of a blog.

Objectively speaking, /operate/ has become pretty worthless. It's so cluttered with noise and drama that it does not serve its original purpose -- which is to have a line of communication between staff and users. This is something 4chan lacked for basically its entire life and copy wanted to avoid it. Even back in Wizardchan, he had established a /meta/.

What went wrong is how a sort of culture formed around /operate/ and /meta/. There is a significant number, and a large portion of active posters, who post either primarily or exclusively on the /operate/ boards. This to me belies their intent; if the only board you post on has to deal with the site's management, you either do not have the site's interests in mind, or you are trying to become a moderator yourself and act vicariously through the staff by being the loudest complainer.

It's this sort of obfuscation that has put the board into its position, and is the main reason why copypaste seems so inactive compared to how he was before. It's not that he isn't around, he just doesn't have much to say. He still posts anonymously every day, I'm pretty sure.

>Sounding pretty schizophrenic here pal.

I'm pretty aware of how people reacted to me just being a developer and I'm also very aware that there are, as I mentioned, people saying unpopular things to stir drama. I do not believe anyone encouraging me to take over both 1) genuinely want me to, and 2) believe it will improve 8chan long-term.

>Are you saying if ol' freddit kicked the bucket that you wouldn't accept it if it was offered to you?

That probably wouldn't be an option. Jim owns the domain and the hardware. He would own 8chan. At best, I would be his employee.

>>83115

I think you'd do an alright job Josh, don't be so modest.

>>83115

> I would be his employee.

Kind of like freddit is now. That's what I'm asking and you keep dodging the question.

If it came down to it, would you take the reigns or let it languish in limbo?

No shame in saying yes. Infinity next is looking great and you're mostly to thank for that.

>>83115

We need the volunteers to remove all /meta/ threads, and change /operate/ into a board exclusively for the discussion of technical issues, bugs and feature requests.

Make another board for complaining about Global Volunteers and Global Boards (which don't even exist anymore) if it's super important, it has nothing to do with technical issues, bugs or feature requests, and that clause only allows for /meta/ discussion about the site and its boards to seep into /operate/.
