I get what you're saying but I think you're over looking something.

(i'll just repost a post i made in /operate/ about this very "issue")

there's currently 63 boards on 4chan currently, so the idea of hotwheels managing all those himself is clearly unrealistic. it goes

without saying that finding the right amount of good global vols to help run them is just as unrealistic as hotwheels purely managing them by himself.

so it would seem that blacklisting them is the only current solution if you consider them a problem.that also doesn't take into account

if 4chan adds more boards in the future.

so for all intents and purposes you are letting the existence of 4chan dictate what should be done on 8chan, that within itself implies a strong

lack of confidence in 8chans system. it also represents a huge distrust with the users of 8chan that you would throw up such barriers to entry, if

they prefer a board with the name /v/ rather than /vvv/ then that should be purely their decision

could you not apply similar arguments to reddit, i'm sure you remember when /fatpeoplehate/ was at the top of the boards list due to the "raid" that took

place on it. i even remember a few threads requesting the very same thing, that we blacklist/remove the reddit legacy boards because they could

possible overtake 8chan boards.

now it goes without saying that it'd be completely unrealistic to blacklist/remove all of reddits subreddits, a decision like that would likely cripple

8chan and the ability for users to create their own boards

what about other imageboards besides 4chan, you should know that 4chan wasn't the only imageboard that had people moving to 8chan. i've

seen a few posters say that they've come from 420chan and 7chan. are you also suggesting we make /wooo/ into a global board or even blacklist it.

it should also be noted that this very idea is definitely unlibertarian since hotwheels has mentioned plenty of times that he is infact a libertarian. i really

hope he isnt considering anything even remotely close to what's being said in this thread.

lets be perfectly honest here what you're doing right now is simply turning the "core" or "legacy" boards into a sort of scapegoat instead of seeking the

core of the issues.what you actual have an issue with is the lack of ways to properly advertise alternative boards, or just the necessary infrastructure to

insure new/smaller boards have a chance of getting more exposure.

i'm hoping that the advent of self serve ads is going to be the first step to correcting this problem

>>315

also to add a few new points to this, that better support this argument

recently the board >>>/55ch/ has risen fairly high on the boards list, the points i made in this post still stand. would anyone

really advocate we blacklist or even "takeover" /55ch/ legacy boards.

take a look at this post here: >>>/55ch/1915 you can see that they have a stickied thread pointing to what i'm to assume are

/55ch/ board names

the core of this idea essentially says that users shouldn't be allowed to use the boards they want to even if they're board names from

other imageboards, it also would arbitrarily limit 8chan to the sort of board names that it could have just because another imageboard

has them

>Even if the moderation of these boards is bad

could you please define bad moderation. i mean if you're /intl/ any "moderation" besides removing illegal things is bad, or if you're one

of the more paranoid users of 8chan then not removing posts/threads that they perceive to be "shill" posts/threads is bad "moderation".

i mean just look at the meta Wednesday threads on /v/, you continually have users asking mark for even more "moderation" than is currently

on /v/. you also have several users calling the "moderation" bad when they fail to remove threads they perceive to be low-quality.

>By preventing board names in Infinity Next to be under 4 characters

i really don't think you've thought this one out, you'd really be severely limiting peoples ability to create boards. i mean just take the

time to scroll through the boards list and you'll see countless boards that aren't "4chan legacies" as you call them

>>315

>>316

ultimately its better to let users define their own destinies rather than try to force them to conform to what you perceive to be ideal behavior

>>309

>alternatives had little success

this simply isn't true, i mean what about /tech/, /fringe/, /intl/, /pone/, i'm sure there are other boards but this idea that 4chan legacy boards are

all powerfull isn't completely true

>Most users of this website have migrated here from some other website, mostly 4chan. Legacy boards are those using the same names as the equivalent boards on 4chan. Even if the moderation of these boards is bad, alternatives had little success,simply because people like the old names. By preventing board names in Infinity Next to be under 4 characters, this problem could be solved.

I've stated that I agree with this. It's too late to do anything about it now, but if I started my own version of 8chan, I'd of made all the 4chan boards locked and forced people to make boards with names longer than 3 characters. What you've said sounds like it'd come directly from my posts on this in the past.

I may include ways of limiting or restricting people's board choices in the future, but they'd all be disabled on 8chan.

>>323

>I'd of made all the 4chan boards locked

now it may be true that during the initial surge in users that they mostly came from 4chan, but i've also seen plenty of users say that they've

come from 420chan due to censorship there and also from other imageboards.

why wouldn't that logic apply to the "420chan legacy boards" as well, currently the >>>/wooo/ board is our most popular wrestling board. do you

think it'd have been a good idea to lock that board and any other "420chan legacy boards"

also what about the board /55ch/ its gotten a good bit of activity lately. see my post here >>316

>and forced people to make boards with names longer than 3 characters.

i just spent a couple minutes scrolling down the boards list, and there are a countless number of boards with names less than 3 characters.

i simply don't understand the reasoning behind this logic

>>334

No, because 4chan is like eleven billion times bigger than 420chan. More importantly, everyone from 420chan knows 4chan's boards. There is nobody who doesn't know that /b/ is random, /a/ is anime, and /v/ is video games who uses this website. It doesn't matter what chan you come from.

God DAMNIT

Hard to call on this one.

Maybe look at Reddit.

On Reddit the board name "gamergate" was taken by anti gamergate people. The board "kotaku in action" became the most popular gamergate board on the site.

Should the admins have intervened?

The most popular anime board on Reddit is "anime", the most popular movie board is "movies". Did they get their just by the name?, they're still running years after someone took the names and are hugely successful.

>>371

I've actually sent a letter to Reddit's staff about this and they never responded. I have never read anything about how Reddit handles reassignments, claims, squatting, etc. I'm pretty sure they do it on a case-by-case basis.

I don't think there's anything wrong with how Boards are handled, I like the fact that BOs have "dictatorship over their own board and users", it makes so that boards like /secretrule/ can exist, and as stated before there is no such thing as "good moderation". A system like Demochan's is bound to failure.

What 8chan needs is to expand and make clear the fact that Boards are user-moderated, we need enhanced tags and other systems that will help competitor boards be noticed, and eventually the community will choose the mods who best suit their needs, instead of the one with the easiest name.

It's >>420 blaze it faggot again! I'm just fishing for ways to integrate subdomains into a chan site. I have a total hardon for them.

What if every board was a chan? And the board owner was the board?

Concrete example: you have the topic /pol/. There are competing /pol/s: one owned by faggot1, one owned by faggot2, and a final one owned by kikenigger (leftypol). So, you have pol.infinitechan.org/faggot1, pol.infinitechan.org/faggot2, and pol.infinitechan.org/kikenigger.

>>455

Much of the community will continue to gravitate towards high post counts. It's why people on /pol/ won't leave despite them hating Imkampfy.
