WHY ARE THERE 25 PAGES WHEN A BOARD THIS SLOW ONLY NEEDS 5?!

WHY ARE THERE 25 PAGES WHEN A BOARD THIS SLOW ONLY NEEDS 5?!

I haven't asked but, Holla Forums seems to have been incredibly JUSTED since last time i've been here. What the fuck happened to have caused this sort've decay?

The reason Holla Forums is exactly the way it is right now is because any efforts to improve it is ruined by all of you.

Mhmm, yeah okay, but that's always been the case? Holla Forums users aren't known for board upkeep. I'm talking about the actually bad place this board seems to be in in right now. I remember when this board was pretty "lively" like 5 months ago when I was browsing. Still shit, but at least didn't make me want to stop living.

Not going to lie, the endless black void color as the background makes me want to shoot myself, the floating green skull and bones that i've blocked confuses the shit out of me, and the thread quality seems… WAAAAY worse than usual. It's like this place is actually dying. It's strange.

I was just wondering, what happened?

What do you mean by this?

Look at this depressed as fuck Roxas:

It's like we're attending a funeral right now.

"efforts to improve"
You mean like turning IDs on and off every other week? Or do you mean like changing the default css? Or maybe you mean like claiming to make the rules more clear for everyone, but instead of clearly defining what you mean by things like "cancer" you instead choose to just start changing the rules around every couple hours so that not even your own mods can keep up.
Face it, fatboy. YOU are the reason everyone is leaving this board, and it is YOUR inaction that allowed the cancer to flourish in the first place. But go ahead and blame everyone else, it seems to be working for Hillary Clinton, maybe it will work for you too.

it is what you sound like

Its slow because it's bad, you guys let leftypol and the anti Holla Forums goons win.

Nothing can be done other than the users wanting the board to thrive with OC and fun. Right now its just a bunch of metashitposting about how Holla Forums is slow, and pedoshit 24/7. The spam is gone, the goons are mostly gone, but they left this place desolate. I tried to help out but this place can't be 'cleaned up' without removing the freedom of speech everyone holds so dear.

A board this slow and shit-heavy doesn't need 1, let alone 5. It needs an owner who has a brain and who gives a shit about the people who use his board.

Oh shit, I forgot I changed the theme. That was weeks ago. I use Yotsuba B so I never noticed.

Doesn't it look cool and hackery? :^3

Ooookay? Tell me what you tried to do. Not being judgemental I'm honestly curious. Tell me what you believe wouldfix this board. I'm going to respond to you in the politest manner possible, because you seem on edge.

Also whatever you guys do, don't listen to this guy. He's the biggest anti-Holla Forums goon on the site. He seems to offer fair criticism but he complains no matter what happens, its a double edge sword, mental gymnastics. He doesn't even care, just wants me to reply to him.

Even if he knew what he was doing he couldn't actualize it, or he'd probably want to be a vol here. Sadly he can't/doesn't want to do anything. Ignore all his posts.

Also, sup doublespace poster. How're ya?

Moderating the board is YOUR job, not ours.
Fuck you.


Freedom is never unlimited. And as the board owner YOU draw the line, not us. So fucking man up and either do what needs to be done or take the responsibility for what happens by not doing it, but don't be such a huge pussy that you blame the users for not doing YOUR job.

I'm going to need you to be serious, I'm genuinely curios here, and being a dingus won't help you win points you dongus.

If a 12 game over having loser like Mark can somehow save his board from spammers literally AN HOUR AGO maybe you have some hope.

Preserving freedom of speech should be my most important task to uphold. This site is a site where many fled due to a lack of this essential freedom. I also delete illegal stuff so I can preserve the life of this site.

Holla Forums Is an unmoderated board, it deserves freedom of speech and preserving it means I have to keep from silencing any form of legal discussion. If you don't understand that you should probably lurk moar.

That also means that Holla Forums has the freedom to be shit if it choses.

Maybe if "what happened" actually addressed the "fair criticism", he would not complain? I mean, if the criticism is fair, and a solution got implemented that effectively dealt with the criticism, maybe the complaints would even turn into congratulations.
Have your solutions and efforts "actualized" into positive results? It sure doesn't look like it to me.

Nope, because its YOU, and you you will complain and you said so yourself, Holla Forums mods can't even ban something without removing VPN/proxies.

So, therefore, even if by some odd circumstance I was "supposed" to moderate the board, it would be 100% impossible. You said it yourself.

Checkmate.

….
Ok well, since i'm being ignored, can you at least change the Background color to default NSFW, and get rid of the skull? It's tacky as fuck and honestly adds nothing to the board. Usually cosmetics like that are used to signify something happening, not a mental breakdown.

Also shortening the pages to 10 isn't a bad idea in my opinion, having threads up that were made a month ago makes the place look deader than it is anyway.

IDs aren't terribly needed either, but if you've been recently spammed I guess I get it. C'mon dude, you're an admin. Stitch this place up.

It doesn't mean anything. I just put it there because it's cool. You can change it in the [Options] page.

10 pages is bad, the board kept getting spammed and wiping the board, besides they'll get bumped anyway even if they're at page 10, that's why they're still active. Maybe the age of the thread isn't as important as how good it is perceived to be, which is why they remain active for so long.

tl;dr artificially 'speeding up the board' sounds stupid and gets rid of threads with lots of discussion.

I've been working on it but pedos and Rin won't go away.

True, but this *board* is a board where people flocked to when they heard that it was unmoderated and began to test the limits of that freedom. Early on you had an opportunity to nip that in the bud, to crack down on it temporarily in order to maintain control of the board. You didn't do that, and what began as simple limitation testing became a daily pastime, a game, an attraction, a meme, and eventually a complete board culture, displacing the original purpose of the board. Other boards on this site are just as dedicated to preserving freedom of speech. None of them had the problems this board has had because their owners took the steps necessary to preserve control of their boards. Your mistake is believing that you can not do both. That you have to choose between freedom of expression and control of content/culture. Other boards show that it is not just possible, but easy.
Look, I know I am hard on you. But that is because you seem smart enough to have known better. And I am an asshole to you, yes. But that is because you are a pussy who is unwilling to even consider that what happened here is your fault, and to take responsibility for it.
Freedom of expression is NOT your main obligation here. Thinking that it is was your first mistake. Your primary obligation as a board owner is providing and maintaining a board environment that people want to use. Only after you do that can things like freedom of expression come into play. Because let's be honest…what does freedom of expression matter on a board nobody uses?

The thing about Holla Forums is that it's not supposed to have long-lasting threads. If a thread topic is so popular or important, then it should be pinned or recycled. Short board pages were made to help threads move along in the dying process, to actually make sages worth a damn. It also makes moderation easier, as you don't have to sift through 25 pages of absolutely NOTHING to find what you're trying to prune.

Fine, if not 10 then 15 at least. 25 pages seem kind've ludicrous.


All the more easier to get your janitors to quietly prune or delete bullshit spam threads. How many Jani's do you even have dude? One? It shouldn't be this crucial in my opinion.

I like your post, but without a proper banning system it's impossible to regulate this shit.


Then post more and threads will 404 more often. The threads only last so long because the post rate is so low.

That doesn't work. Anons are idiots. They will post a new webm thread and fill it with youtube videos instead of visiting a cycled, or even a stickied webm thread.

I will tell you guys what. I will limit the pages to 10 and the bump limit to 250. I will help clean up the worst of the worst posts and post good threads with you guys. If all goes well then the overboard users will spot the good threads on Holla Forums and flock back to it.

If not… The commies win.

That's alright, if you're still worried about the page system not doing anything, got to 15 Pages at least. This will be our benchmark

I'm not usually a thread poster, because the only threads I make are threads i'm ABSOLUTELY SURE will cause conversation or semi-quality posting.

Get your janitors to look out for spam and what not. Regulate pedo threads to one each, like old Holla Forums. You've got a lot of work to do man, i'm rooting for you.

WE BUILT THIS CITY ON CHEESE PIZZA

and ban halfchan tier treads and keep porn in one tread or just ban all porn

Thread limit per hour (30) to prevent spam (two pages of catalog total if a mod isn't on)
Page limit 10.
Bump Limit 250.

I removed the CSS (except the board volunteer flag)


This sounds good. Maybe a thread for porn webms to seperate from the webm thread.

I'll clean up some cancer when I get back from my break.

No, no. Porn is usually a staple of Holla Forums. The threads made EXCLUSIVELY for porn should be relegated to one thread. Porn that shows up in a current thread that is on topic should be fine.

Pruning /soc/ shit would be okay too.

Yes that's a good idea.

Hopefully this works. Enjoy the break.

nothing will ever change.

cant believe i posted those pics and didnt get seen. wow. that was fun.

yeah, wow, you sure, uh huh

..did u see?

Yeah this doesn't sound bad. Just note, there are a LOT of fucking 4cuck fags here that use VPN/proxy. They post just to shit the board up. They can't be removed permanently. I could name a few right now If I wanted to…

Maybe they would if you told your SA goons to get off my board, S .

also… not too sure what do about travis, very awful thread and it doesn't contribute to anything.

for anyone wondering the rest of the word is "shmorky"
t. shmorky, SA goon

Isn't there a extended IP sniping tool made exactly for this purpose, or is that just an old meme?

...

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

I forgot the term nigga I don't know.

based dysnomia

Now we can't say he isn't trying. Keep at it bro. Get some more hotpockets if you need to. Make sure they're responsible, can't delete every thread.

I'm still rooting for you man. Hopefully you can get this place back up and running.

I hate hotpockets fyi. I'd gladly take a dried mango though.

Wow, dysnomia. I actually love the new changes. 5 pages and the classic non-black look. It's good shit. What else was changed?

It's actually 10 pages. That's how much cancer there was.

Range bans?

Anyways the real reason the board is shit is that I'm banned.

Holy shit I just read the thread. What the fuck is up with people wanting thread deletion on fucking Holla Forums. Just delete illegal content. It's the right mindset. If people go let them fucking go. It's not like you're paying for the domain. Fucking faggots, holy shit.

ban illegal shit and halfchan tier treads tbh

you have to go back

I have been wondering where you went off to. What did you get banned for, who did it?

Post the ban page and I'll find/lift it.

bumb

fug you

How the fuck can you say this, and then spend all morning unironically deleting legal porn threads? And you wonder why people think you are an utter cunt?!?!
You just showed the entire board that you are a lying faggot who doesn't even play by his own rules. You run this shit board on pure bi-polar impulse, and you deny it even though you know everyone has seen you do it.
Fuck you, you deserve to go down with this sinking shithole ship and it is going to be my pleasure to continue loading it up with lead to help it and you on its way.

Multiple porn threads aren't needed you kike.

see

And then fuck off.

Uh oh, someone is cranky and needs their diaper changed again.

Poo Poo!
