people often talk about AF2017 being the best joke in 4chan's history because of /mlpol/ and /fitlit/ but many just 5get about /vint/
I feel like having multiple International/ boards would make the site much more popular (because of foreigners) and objectively better (because flags would filter certain kind of "gorgeous looks" posters)

what do (You) think?
>>
>>23796166
i don't know how i feel about the idea of adding more boards just for the sake of having flags or some other gimmick.
personally i maintain the best addition to 4chan, on at least some boards, would be a 2channel-style system where the OP gets to decide the rules of anonymity for each thread (e.g. IDs, flags, both, neither). probably not IPs because people here are too paranoid, but maybe the ability to allow or disallow certain countries or regions from being in your thread.
>>
>>23796175
>i don't know how i feel about the idea of adding more boards just for the sake of having flags or some other gimmick.
well in the last thread >we brought the topic of 4chan's only competitors being foreign-language IBs, making international boards for common topics (tech, cartoons, vidya, anime) would certainly raise precious PPD and revenue from passcodes
>(e.g. IDs, flags, both, neither)
imagine the shitstorm when /vg/ OP enables IDs kek
>the ability to allow or disallow certain countries or regions from being in your thread.
this would incentivize proxy usage when people just filter out Canadian from their /pol/ threads desu
>>
>>23796179
>people just filter out
*are just gonna filter out
Christ, imagine complex filters that hide all threads that don't ban Canadians/Indians/etc
>>
>>23796166
main reason people use this shithole instead of other imageboards is its speed, making a lot of small boards is completely pointless, 99% of people are still going to be posting on the "main" ones because they are way faster
>>
>>23796186
well many people just don't know English, would (You) find it interesting to shitpost with your fellow Poles on 4channel.org?
>>
>>23796188
most people that don't know english probably don't even know what imageboards are, and even if they did there would be no reason to use the 4chan ones, because the local ones already have estabilished culture
though maybe I'm biased, because polish imageboards were huge back in the day and it may not be the same for other countries
>>
>>23796195
>most people that don't know english probably don't even know what imageboards are
Russian sub scene for MLP exists because fags on dvach/mlp/ couldn't watch the show in English
>and even if they did there would be no reason to use the 4chan ones, because the local ones already have estabilished culture
dvach's objectively unusable because of its affiliation with the state and I'm pretty sure that goddamn Indians lost their main imageboard
>though maybe I'm biased, because polish imageboards were huge back in the day and it may not be the same for other countries
maybe I'm biased too, Russian IB scene being so dead when Runet desperately needs a proper place to shitpost freely just confuses me
>>
>>23796207
yeah I can see wanting to have a different place to shitpost when russian imageboards are like that, polish ones are fine despite their flaws, there are people making OC, playing vidya together etc., main reason I still come to 4chan is because there's next to zero hobby discussion for anything besides vidya on polish internet
>I'm pretty sure that goddamn Indians lost their main imageboard
the only thing I know about Indian imageboards is that they rangebanned poles because polish imageboards kept raiding them kek
>>
>>23796223
>yeah I can see wanting to have a different place to shitpost when russian imageboards are like that
tbf we do have "lower telegram" and it's pretty alright but I'm not sure if it can stay online for much longer (Durov is a hack (A+ verification), state wants him gone just to make their WeChat Russian Edition popular and French literally have his hands in shackles)

i don't think those are competitors, they're just other places people go to. like 4chan isn't a competitor to 2chan, even with japanese language support and boards dedicated to japanese culture.
i don't even know that a hobbyist website can have a competitor in any way that matters considering anyone can have two tabs open at once. i mean, neogaf still exists even with the resetera split after all.

>this would incentivize proxy usage when people just filter out Canadian from their /pol/ threads desu
every action has an equal and opposite doe. any change made would have positives and negatives, but i still think it would be fun to see
>>
>>23796516
It's really telling of how we live in a society and such that /pol is by far the most active board on the entire website. Just everyone tripping over each other in a competition to see who can get the most mad at words on a screen.
>>
>>23796516
>That's a low-tier troll
No it is an actual bot, it automates the same replies that exactly match the text of ones it made months before if you check the archives

The first reply of the thread tells you everything you need to know. You're not supposed to link active threads here because getting 4chan staff's attention can lead to very bad things happened to the thread.

it's apparently not known where that came from, i was expecting the autists at knowyourmeme to know but they say first and foremost it's lost media

it's /pol/. IIRC the yotsuba society archives have a thread from the same day and the post numbers are +/- several thousand. I've never been able to find any archive or uncropped screencaps of the original thread though.
it probably would have been archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20120301071952/http://archive.no-ip.org:80/pol/ but that site just vanished one day and they never shared their data ;_; it was the main (only?) fuuka archive scraping /new/ /pol/ /int/ /r9k/ /co/ and i think /v/ & /vp/ (and probably a few others) in 2010/2011

since people itt mentioned zoomers calling 4chan "4ch", i've started noticing just how often i see the same thing done for twitter where it's called twt (e.g. filmtwt for film twitter). is this a common thing i'm just now noticing? every time i see it now it annoys me for some reason.
>>
>>23798778
I only do that to be consistent with 2ch and 8ch
The latter of which you can't actually use its real name because "we think this is spam; please reformat" or whatever the excuse is for stopping you from directly naming altchans.
>>
>>23798778
>twt
Twitter has/had 140 character limit per post, they are probably just used to cutting corners while posting
(the fact that the Sharty likes to shorten EVERYTHING kinda reveals who actually uses it kek)
>4ch
not related but there used to be a VK group called 4ch that was infamous for getting constantly b& for being 3edgy5vk
(it didn't even try to claim to be related to 4chan.org, they just used stolen name and logo for the lulz)
>>23798886
>or whatever the excuse is for stopping you from directly naming altchans.
only 8 is spamfiltered because it was shilled to death during GG

honestly though this does remind me of how many forums have post previews and yet i've never seen an imageboard with them.
i know people would just use them to more easily evade filters so it'll never happen but it would be useful to have them, especially when using code or maths tags on the boards that allow them.

Some time ago I had a dream that moot returned to the internet and he changed his twitter pfp to a shadowy pic of himself and he was vagueposting there about how he'd "destroy" hiro and reinstate a "dark mootocracy" and in between all that he was retweeting a bunch of cryptobot posts. Thanks for reading my blog.

It doesn't seem like the pr0xy site has the ability to automatically solve the new captcha yet (at least on unpaid level)

Their interface for solving the new captcha makes it easier to solve though, because it shows all the images at once.

I'm not sure what getting their gold pass gives you.

Meaning there's no bots?
