The site is going to be like this for another 3 weeks or so, it's absolutely awful.
No one on 8chan staff even replied to my thread, just some random anon telling me the intricate details of why it was happening and not why the idea to reduce, remove and limit active content many of us had wouldn't help

I still haven't really gotten an answer to why this idea wouldn't work, either, at least not one I understood, lol
On /tech/ the same anon from /operate/ was there and he said this
>The database isn't the bottleneck, the bottleneck is the way threads are written to disk and served on creation and updates.
I don't understand this because less threads and posts are likely being made on this now broken website than probably since the first GamerGate exodus-so if our threads are being deleted after they're bumped off the board like they should be then how could the thread creation be the problem and why wouldn't deleting the abandoned boards and their thousands of idle posts and threads not be the solution?

At first Hotwheels made it a manual system so instead of it deleting automatically he had to do it himself. For a programmer he doesn't seem to embrace automation when it comes to this sort of thing. After Jim took over the site he stopped deleting the boards because "it wasn't an issue anymore".
