If you were the owner of 4chan and wanted to gain users by spending the least amount of money possible what would you do?
>>62528862remove the 90 second captcha request. board activity has dropped in half since they added it.
>>62528862Cut the janny pay
>>62528888Checked. Add janny subscriptions, you should have to pay to be a moderator. And use that new revenue stream to fund an advertisement campaign.
>>62528862Add a dedicated fortnite board.Give me (You)s.
>>62528862The simple fact that honestly answering that question will get you banned is honestly the simple answerYou can get banned for pretty much anything here except breaking the rules.Banned people don't post. Banned IP's don't post
>>62528862I'd make a retarded system whereby you get 'new users' to endlessly complete fuck retarded puzzles to the point of insanity before allowing them to post. Then, when they've finished all that and hit Post (finally!), tell them they are IP range banned, for shitz and giggles. That'll get them rolling through the doors, so it will.>#4chanMarketingzTeam
>>62529084Yep every time my IP changes it says I'm rangebannedI suspect every IP in the world might be banned by now
Bring back /l/Ban all israeli and indian ip addressesDock the jannies pay
>>62528888Kekked and checked
>>62529084Also ironically enough I've been rangebanned for posting that chart
>>62528862I wouldn't want to gain users. I'd try and make more honeypot agreements with government agencies and find ways to sell more data
>>62528862Range ban thirdies, add nation flags to every board, no insane captcha since no more thirdies spamming, ???
Advertise for a while on kiwifarms, kanyetothe, quartertothree and similar 4chan-adjacent places.
>>62528862Mass Jannie executions
>>62528862Ban all the low quality shit ruining pol and make it a real board. Ban all the trannies and anime posters
>>62528862Add flags on every board
forced anon, IDs, and flags on every board except "random" ones like /b/ or /s4s/. only have meme flags on /pol/. bring back the post IP counter. ban social media screenshot threads outside of /b/ and similar boards.
>>62528862Range ban Israel and india
>>62528862Create a token to pay better people to moderate.
>>62528888based eight
>>62528862>wanted to gain users... why?
>>62528862screenshot thread campaign
>>625288881/8888 of 0 is still 0
>>62528866it deleted jeet posting ... your idea is retarded
>>62528862Webp support, allow webms with sound up to 8 MB. Get with the times already.
>>62528888Bezob browses /biz/?
>>62528862Rebrand as FROGGO'S WORLD!
>>62528862official nigger mondays and wednesdays
Remove the retarded captchaIts insane that they still haven't fucking removed that shitBunch of fucking retards yeah I love solving fucking 3 or 4 puzzles every single time I want to make a postOr wait 300 seconds before making a threadretards
>>62528862Ban all IP's from Israel, India, and the UK while we're at it. Theyre too far gone.
>>62528862gotta gamify 4channel bru, add like a store where u get points based on (you)s and then u can get specialized features and then add a troll leaderboard and encourage irl trolling by doing publicity stunts and really epic funny viral marketing
>>62530350I agree with this sirsSelling meme coins very hard now with crazy stupid captcha
>>62530393>If you dont like to solve fucking puzzles every time training ai models this means you are le jeetgood goy
>>62528862How does that benefit the website from a business perspective? Everyone here is tech savvy enough (I hope) to have an adblocker. More users mean more server costs and dealing with more FBI requests.
>>62528862>wanted to gain users by spending the least amount of money possible what would you do?Reduce image size limits. Most images won't suffer from being lower resolution.
>>62528862make users do retarded captchas to train some IA in Bulgaria, I'd make money with zero effort, plus some low iq retards would pay for a premium account
>>62528888Yep, I'd say at least cut it in half. Maybe even more.
shut the website downAs it should have been doen after the hackSelling ad space to shill frams, disgustingReputation forever destroyedno growth ever again
>>62528862The actual answer is the obvious oneYou gotta get rid of racists and schizos if you want more traffic. But by now all you have left are racists and schizos
>>62532238Schizos and racists are the whole reason why anyone would even come to 4chan.
Nothing, shut it down.The imageboard format is dying, there's no saving it, it will go the way of the BB forums.
>>62532249Yes but that's not growing numbers and it's stopping everyone else from coming here.Normies love anonymous posting too. They just don't want to talk to crazy people
>>62528862Fork clover or kuroba and make it the official app, pay a developer to keep it up to date and fully functional on both Android and iOS.
>>62529172I mean this literally: every mobile AT&T and Verizon IP I've tried has either been rangebanned for upload banned.
>>62532238I come to 4chan specifically to hear from schizos and racists (like me). If I wanted normgroid opinions I would go to every other social site.
>>62532256You are the kind of person who destroys everything good
Create new boards that people will actually use. /tube/ for small-time streaming content, /eceleb/ for obvious reasons, /ai/ for AI content of all kinds, etc.
>>62532301you need to go back
>>62528862Make sure all media formats are supported, like MP3. You would be surprised how many people make Suno parodies of songs and want to upload them somewhere. Same goes for video, 3D models.
>>62529598cuz no one posts here
>>62530369>like a store where u get points based on (you)s and then u can get specialized featuresoo I like that
>>62530473Well without user generated content, they have no content. Honestly 4chan has a bad business model. I can't believe their still trying ads in 2026 knowing what we know now.
>>62532251BB forums?
>>62532301>ecelebthat will probably just become gangstalking and harassmentI see why they don't want to deal with that
>>62532275>>62532278That's the pointIf they want normie dollars and normie numbers they first have to get rid of everyone here including you and meWe are the problem
>>625288621. rangeban the entire third world (+israel)2. remove flags on /pol/3. let users post videos with sound on normal boardsthis will attract new users after the initial purge. Once intelligent people return, the site can once again become a home for internet culture. This will attract new users who can fuel monetization
>>62532238WRONG. You don't understand the niche, nigger.
>>62532885The niche isn't bringing in traffic and in fact it's preventing it
>>62532903People started coming to 4chan because it was a home for taboo and cutting edge content. You could discuss ideas with candor without worrying about social backlash. The raids, memes, and banter were also top tier. >What changed?Endless retarded slop and psyops drove all the intelligent cutting-edge people away. You saw this on pol after 2016 and on biz with the 2021 dog coin spam. Nobody wants to look through a catalog that has one good thread for every 20 shit ones and nobody wants to see their important conversations slide
>>62532929You're right but now 4chan is known as storefront and if I tell someone I post here the only reaction I get is>isn't that a Nazi site?I just don't tell anyone I post here. The reputation is enough to get you fired regardless of what actually goes on here
>>62528888On the contrary, I say we TRIPLE the jannies salary! Better pay would motivate them to take better care of assigned boards, ergo, better user experience, ergo, more users!
>>625288621. Increase the bump/page limits on high traffic boards2. Flags on /biz/ 3. Allow tor+vpns but give them a special flag when they post. Maybe even add extra time to avoid abuse4.add live coin prices to the catalog5. Allow inter board competition threads like the 4cc6.add more boards for various things...99.rape rapeape
>>62532986They should just have account (visible only to backend) for tor posters. Ridiculous an "anonymous" site doesn't allow basic privacy.
>>62532995Pretty sure that's the whole point of email registration to avoid timers and capchas
>>62528862I would start by firing all the jannies and mods of this shithole, because they are incompetent and retarded. esp. rapeape.hire competent people to improve the user experience.
>>62532249>>62532278go back>>62532885>>62532929the problem is that, like >>62532959 says, this website is now associated with nazis and the alt-right, and the racists and schizos are the most vocal and malicious. and if you think that's a coincidence, you should read about the Epstein-moot stuff and picrel, and think again.
>>62532983Slow there, cowboy. 4chin must first and foremost make profits for its kekholders >>62532885this board is dead and you're probably replying to a bot, fren...
>>62533262The board is dead and I'm not a bot.That would be the schizophrenia I mentioned. If anything the new capcha and timers probably got rid of the bots and that's why the board's dead
>>62529303this /thread
>>62533221Nobody worth talking to cares if you're a 'nazi'. if anything, that makes you more interesting to talk to. What people hate are low iq racist twitter anons. I can remember talking to nazis on /pol/ in 2014-15 who were very well written and had some legitimately interesting perspectives. They often larped as retards, but I think they were quite smart in reality. What we have here now are racist normies and third world retards. None of them have anything interesting to say and none are capable of the honesty that made the site great
>>62530350you only hve to do one? are you some sorta phone poster?
>>62533338you are right but also completely missed my point. ironically, you explained why people are leaving the site in the process: there is no honest discussion, there is just low IQ retards. do you really not remember *when* things started to go down? have you ever tried learning why? the image I posted actually explains it. it's not a conspirancy theory, it's a conspirancy that actually happened. I wouldn't doubt for a second if someone told me that Thiel now owns this website.
>Ban all jeet shihole countries :India,Nepal,Bangladesh etc>Enable flags>cut to 30 seconds the time to make a reply>Ban al Link scam threads/African shillsit's so fucking easy but this faggot ass board fears success
>>62533480the retards in charge of managing this site are technically incompetent, even though people in /g/ offer free help all the time, and it's also well know that one of them works at apple. they COULD make things easier for users and hard for bots and spammers, but they don't care.
>>62528888>8888basado
>people wanting flags>Just turn this into /pol/ 2.0 bro>Lets constantly talk about LE JEWS and LE INDIANS and LE EUROPEANS and LE AMERICANSFucking retard kill yourself you are the reason this site sucks. What part of anonymous don't you understand? /pol/ literally ruined 4chan, but you are too much of a newfag to know this
>>62532929Taboo and cutting edge content aren’t the same. I came here way back in 2008 because this seemed the place that generated most viral internet content that people talked about. It was less edgy back then. The increased anount of edge lords and schizos are a problem because they rarely produce anything in their negativity.
