If it's better, then yes.

Everyone from here will flock to there, and depending on how moot handles it the place will end up just as shitty.

If he has more mods or charges $10 for sign up (ban deterrence, assurance of 18+) like SA then I'm all for it.

Dumb. 4chan is popular because of brand name, not because of it's great features.

It probably won't end up any better than here.

Will this one put him a further 20k in debt?

I fucking love his hands.

:3

>sell 4chan for over $9000 million
>advertise the new place here before selling
>site gets sold
>everybody moves out to the new site

I'll count the beginning of a new one as seeing the end of 4chan and gtfo of the commenting internet.

>>7982016
Sounds pretty fucking good to me

Only 30 Mods? I think we have more than 30 boards at this point!

>>7982110
Did he count janitors there?

Bitches don't know about iichan and sovietrussia.

>>7982110
Mods aren't bound to a board. Only janitors.

I would because I have a crush on moot.

...this is not a lie.

He probably won't post the new site on 4chan because he doesn't want us latent homosexual retards to infest it.

>30 Mods
>/b/ full of CP 24/7

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.
Dude needs to sign on some more mods, seriously.

>>7982171
>Denying himself a FREE AD in a million-user community.

it would just be a /r9k/ all over again

>>7982220
i wonder if he meant simply mods or mods+janitors.

>>7982016
That may be why its popular, but that's not why its great:

1. Anonymity: No post counts, no namefaggotry, no signatures, no taglines, no avatars, no persistant quoting, no logging in, no sucking up to older users, no circlejerking between the "hardcore elite," no e-peen waving, no post count elitism...

Really, forced Anonymity gets rid of a lot of bullshit that drags down other forums.

2. (Mostly) Invisible Moderation: Barring the occasional circumstance where a poster is banned, his thread stickied, and his metaphorical head placed upon a metaphorical pike as an example to other posters on a board of how not to do things, most moderation here is invisible.

You don't have egotistical faggots banning people for stupid, ridiculous shit, you don't have people brown-nosing and kowtowing and sucking moderator cock, and when you are finally banned, its usually done quietly, quickly, and with a minimum of fanfare.

I could list more, but, honestly, those two features alone catapult 4chan well beyond other forums in my eyes.

>>7982014
>charges $10 for sign up (ban deterrence, assurance of 18+)

I like this idea, Anon.

He says it won't replace 4chan, but I'm hoping for a reboot of the tech behind 4chan. If the new site is only about the tech with similiar or same content, I don't see the point of it at all. If it's something else, I'll be disappoint if the tech won't migrate here.

>>7982267
All chans have those features.

>>7982271
Well, what sort of tech would you be hoping for?

All I could really imagine is the Firefox 4chan App/thing integrated right into the board (hiding threads and images, that sort of thing). Other than that, I couldn't really want much more.

>>7982304
I think the new tech will mostly be behind the scenes type of stuff. Things that the users don't see.

vapor ware.

also, way to get wet panties over a extremely vague statement.

>If he has more mods or charges $10 for sign up (ban deterrence, assurance of 18+) like SA then I'm all for it.

Only faggots are willing to pay money for posting rights on a random internet board, and any such board will thus be populated only by faggots.

SA is a prime example of this.

>>7982105

moot is a mad genius!

>>7982267
There are other features of anonymous-forums, like a focus on contribution, collaboration, and a shared culture.

Also, charging ten bucks will go against everything than an anonymous-board stands for. Because it implies forced registration.

Whatever it is it needs a better sage function.

>>7982388

No, it doesn't. The only problem with sage is that it doesn't do what 99% of users think it does.

>>7982396
Perhaps it should be doing what 99% of people think it does, hmm?

It really seems that with Moot's new found attention to 4chan that shit is going to happen - for better or for worse, something is going to happen.

I'd advise for the next year everybody hold onto their hats. Shit goin' down.

>>7982401

No, because those people who misuse sage are retarded faggots.

>>7982396

Wait wat? I was under the impression it doesn't bump the thread when you reply using sage.
What does it really do?

>>7982304
Yup, that sort of stuff along with behind-the-scenes development and, in general, better functioning ways of navigating the site and following threads. We can't say exactly what would be the best system, that's why moot and others have design work to do.

>>7982429

You, sir, get one (1) sticker. What it does not do, is report or take away from the thread or anything active. Most people seem to take "sage goes in all fields" seriously.

>>7982429
It goes in every field.

>>7982014

the only thing SA assures is that you will be surrounded by the kind of people who have $10 to pay for a fucking Internet website AND WILL ACTUALLY PAY IT. This cannot be overstated: the only real service Something Awful provides is keeping all of the awful shitheads in a single place. Horrible Dramatica sociopaths meet shitty Usenet beardo culture and keep a creepy yellow-fever douchebag in t-shirts and fad diet food with a minimum of effort and enough left over to pay a circlejerk of self-justifying dorks to ban everyone who isn't a boring autist.

If moot attempts to recreate this gross spectacle and abandon 4chan, which is arguably the only decent thing to ever come out of SA, I will do everything in my power to render it unusable.

in before moot

>>7982487
4chan came out of SA? what?

>>7982513
When moot made 4chan he posted it on world2ch and ATDRW board of SA, so the first people come from there.

>>7982513
moot was a SA member. He stopped going there three years ago. Also, see this: http://www.4chan.org/faq#start

>>7982462
Only goes in the password field, bro.

>>7982554
>>7982558
SHIT! WE'VE HIVEMINDED!

>>7982558
crazy. i've been here since...2005? and i've never known that.

man its like the complete opposite of sa. anon vs paying.

>>7982429
There was a soft-sage for just not bumping a thread, but guess they removed it. noko in e-mail gets you back to the thread you replied to.
