>>416139 What an interesting observation.......... I cannot make new threads on regular 4chan while using Waterfox(Firefox), while Safari works just fine. Is this some sort of digital curse?
>>416153 It says nothing at all: either loads forever and gives me a "bad redirect" error, or just redirects to the board's homepage. And Safari on the same laptop has none of those issues. Had this problem for half a year now. Can make regular replies on either browser.
My weird troubles with Waterfox(Firefox) not allowing me to make new threads on 4chan Prime........ are over. I guess one of the recent updates did it.
>>416305 I might actually watch this years 4chan Divegrass bowl if /co/ has a manager that either cares or is competent. Where do they have the threads these days?
>>416368 Yeah it seems desu has not been saving lots of images and I was a bit disappointed. I think they are currently doing server work and merging with rebeccablacktech temporarily
A janitor or mod is very mad at the Gumball fandom now, deleting threads and even going across to /trash/ to ban people over in that thread. It's not even saturday yet.
>>416982 How sad. It saddens me that the gumball fandom in 4chan will rather move to reddit or let themselves die than coming here or any other chan. It' s so strange, 4chan is bigger than ever but all other chans seem to be withering away.
>>416983 I mean, I'm happy to suggest coming across here. Especially if deletions persist. That was one of the main uses of +4, as a refuge for prohibited generals.
>>416983 Maybe they are not coming here because they don't know this place exists? Have anyone told them that they can come here?
>It' s so strange, 4chan is bigger than ever but all other chans seem to be withering away. It used to be that other chans complimented 4chan with boards that it didn't have. Today, 4chan covers nearly every topic, so there's no need for other chans. And 8chan made it worse by allowing everyone to make their own board, so they have a shitload of boards with hardly any posters on each.
It also doesn't help that 4chan considers every mention of another community as spam. Name drop any site and it gets flagged. Mention an alias for a site (like, say, fullchan), it gets flagged. At that point, it is more important to keep people inside.
>>416985 >Maybe they are not coming here because they don't know this place exists? Have anyone told them that they can come here? I just posted and immediately got the respose "Plus4 is dead as fuck". Apart from loli/shota, they're right. Mostly, I think people don't know, and the rest of the time they know and remember how dead we are.
>>416985 Yes, 4chan has a lot of boards but that doesn't mean that the site is good, and these threads getting deleted is a proof of that. what other sites do offer is a different feeling, community and moderation. Maybe because I've been here for so long shuffling different chans seems so normal to me. >>416986 It's dead because they're not coming here, if their threads moved over here plus4 surely will get a boost in users.
>>416987 >It's dead because they're not coming here That's what I said, but then they said the functionality of the site is suspect (I can't deny that) which, right now, is still an issue.
>>417402 Sticky IP here (technically dynamic but rarely changes). I have one backup IP but it's a hassle to use. I admit to using the old "dynamic IP" excuse to evade a long ban.
>>417449 Out of curiosity: - do you mean current state at December, or everything until December? - full images included? - is there any backup of the previous plus4chan sites?
>>417450 The current board system doesn't actually purge old threads due to a bug, so everything that was posted on this board. Including some threads which, for some reason, are not in the db but their static htmls still exist. Images included. In fact I think it has a lot of deleted images there too, based on the file count.
Moose said that he may have an archive of the old site. I don't know anything further than that.
Latest stupidity from /co/: drawthreads don't allow anchor posts (where artists can link deliveries, so it is possible to keep track of them easier). No explanation give, just janitors deleting every related discussion.
Damn I got banned from all of 4chan for making a joke about the name of Lovecraft's cats on /tg/, of which as you might already know one having went by the charming name of Nigger-man.
>>419052 Moderation was always crazy on 4chan but nowadays it's just a bunch of assholes on a power trip.
I've been banned so many times now that I just permanently block all cookies from the site (4chan puts a user id in your cookies to track you in case you change IPs).
>>419100 They don't have a "thing" against me - half the decent topic I've seen gets deleted nowadays.
There's also a janitor in the win-o threads on /co/ who posts his own referral links to everything (which is against the rules), but since he is a janitor, he can clear any reports his own posts get, as well as delete any posts which point this out. 4chan is run entirely by the janitors now.
Before the archive goes 404 (it's live for only a week after all), check out the remains of an April 1st thread: https://boards.4channel.org/co/thread/114025374
On the day corrupted posts were actually various stages of green.
>>420013 Good thread, actually. I assume the Z̎Á̛LG͡O Anonymous's are infected. >(it's live for only a week after all) but then we can see it on green desuarchive!
>>420400 >Somehow it is WORSE. I've only used it a could of times (when Cloudflare switched) and had no problem at the time. Have the challenges become harder? Bias: fuck google
>>420668 >>420669 yeah, I'm not seeing any extra ads either. However 4chan has been essentially impossible to use without adblock ever since Hiro took over - the ads are more disgusting than what people are posting.
>>420764 What was it before? "Roll for X images" seemed to be pretty common when I last visited, and racism was so accepted on all boards that I find it odd to be mentioned there. But they may have been there since a very long time, given how every other non-general thread I check end up getting pruned while I read them. pic related.
>>420765 Casual racism has always been a part of imageboard culture. And, if I'm being honest, all human cultures. People shit on the other tribe next to them all the time.
>>420766 >>420767 Let's not pretend that racism hasn't been against the rules since at least late 07 and only lax moderation allowed it to happen on boards other than /b/.
>>420771 Not really. /v/ is one of the biggest boards on 4chan; this makes it extremely fast and very hard to moderate. Cutting it up is therefore necessary for keeping the site more advertiser-friendly. It's also why /b/ had so many boards made specifically to cut off content from it.
>>420774 The slow boards are OVER moderated. The larger boards can get away with shit that would get moderated instantly on the slower boards, simply due to their size.
At any rate, an RPG board isn't what /v/ would have needed, it would've been either a board for streamers / youtube celebrity bullshit (someone brought up /incel/ for INternet CELebrity, which I think is ingenious), or a /v2k/ board for 6th and 7th console generation stuff, to parallel /vr/.
>>420777 /co/ and /g/ are full of garbage too, all I ever see are the same usual 10 general threads, plus a lot of smaller ones that disappear without many posts or get outright deleted.
>>420780 /co/ really is one of the worst now. Its just 24/7 spam of the same crop of low quality threads again and again. Who sits around making the things just to shit the board up?
>>420849 Yeah. /vr/ and /toy/ has constant threads which are ALWAYS there whenever I visit as well. That's one of the reasons why I don't visit daily anymore, just once a week, maybe a month now. It also doesn't help that a TON of posts get deleted, and it usually takes 5-15 minutes to get banned over the most minute shit. The kind of posts that dominated the boards ten years ago will get deleted or get you banned.
As far as I'm concerned, /s4s/ is the last good board there.
>add a bunch of video game boards that no one asks for >Have a mod-started thread on /vr/ that was made under the pretense of discussing what we should allow >ignore idea about /v2k/ and ignore every user in the thread saying that they don't want it >Allow 6th gen games on /vr/ despite no one wanting the idea >/vr/ is now overrun with threads about newer games >All of this would have been fine if they just made another board, one we had been asking for
I just wanted a place to discuss old video games in peace. Instead, the leadership at the old site decided to ruin a board.
>>420962 Last time I checked the problem was that 1 they got spammed with the same shit over and over for years 2 janitors deleted arbitrary requests they didn't like 3 janitors deleted damn near any discussions they didn't like (this is a problem globally on the entire site) 4 4chan rules don't allow for a lot of western art there to begin with
I'm assuming you mean #1 by cancer, but what do you mean by toxicity? Isn't the thread over-moderated so there's absolutely no chance of getting any "toxic" comments in?
>>420963 He's probably talking about the self appointed thread police who call out certain requesters of characters they feel that has had enough deliveries.
>>420964 That's just random noise that comes with the territory of posting on an anonymous imageboard, or is it that bad that it clogs up the thread? And don't janitors delete those along with everything else that's even slightly off topic?
>>420964 This one tried to request a pic of Jucika getting DVP'd as an homage to Pepsitou. Sadly due to asshats running rampant and wasting posts thinking that ThEY ARe ThE LAw!
>>420966 How is that even a problem? Because the character has been requested a lot? Boy, those guys weren't around in the 00s when a new episode of Avatar meant the entire board was 95% Avatar threads for an entire day.
>>420965 The drawthread is not as heavily moderated as people here like to pretend that it is. The only reason why it might clog up the thread because the thread can hit the bump limit in like 3-5 hours just from requests alone an a long argument just makes the thread hit it faster. >>420967 From what I saw, it is more that the "Thread Police" are accusing him of being the "Honeyspammer".
Also why are we have these arguments here? Should it be in the 4chan Waaambulance thread? Maybe that thread should be a sticky so people can know it exists.
I keep hearing a lot of complaining about the /aco/ drawthread which is probably done by the guys who get pick on in those threads. I invite you guys to spend some time in the /trash/ drawthread and realize just how shit a drawthread could be. A thread where there is no artists and near constant trolling and counter trolling by people who use different drawthreads on different boards and sites.
I wish anthro was allowed on /aco/ so I could leave that place completely but that will never happen.
>>420971 Do you have to bring it up in every thread on /baw/?
[mod edit: this and the aforementioned comment was previously posted in the Speak Your Mind thread. Recent posts from three threads have now been moved here]
>>420969 >The drawthread is not as heavily moderated as people here like to pretend that it is. Maybe not compared to its own. But compared to other threads on the site, it has significantly more activity. I've seen plenty of clearly rule breaking threads on /aco/ that went entirely unnoticed for a long time, while the drawthreads have anything bad taken care of in minutes. This is true on both /co/ and /aco/ too.
>>420981 >I've seen plenty of clearly rule breaking threads on /aco/ that went entirely unnoticed for a long time, while the drawthreads have anything bad taken care of in minutes. This is true on both /co/ and /aco/ too. Reminds me of /co/ caturdays. There would literally be a janitor waiting there to try and delete it with a minute.
>>420982 That's what a real coomer is like. You only care about getting new porn of the special kind you prefer, and nutting to it. Nothing is more important than porn.
>>420988 Most of the furry porn they would post was just pinup/cheesecake shit that was no different than the pics in other threads. In the drawthread, you would get banned over any sexualized anthro pic whether it was actual porn or not. I guess they figured if we are going to catch a 3 day ban, might as well request porn.
>>420991 literally any furry character request gets removed in the /co/ drawthread, and I haven't seen a Swat Kats thread there either for a very long time, despite the show being incredibly popular.
>>420992 >literally any furry character request gets removed in the /co/ drawthread, No they don't. It's almost always the caturday requests. Sometimes other cheesecake requests featuring anthro get removed but not all the time and not to the level of how they treat the caturday requests.
>I haven't seen a Swat Kats thread there either for a very long time There was one just yesterday that got deleted https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/117515573/ People dumped porn and tried to turn it into a /pol/ thread but it still stayed up for a while.
>>420994 They must have missed this one then https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/117480749/#q117482525 Or the TMNT requests with Jennika, Mona Lisa and other anthros that rarely get deleted.
The janitors and mods don't go as hard as they did a few years ago except for caturday posting.
>>420995 >The janitors and mods don't go as hard as they did a few years ago Well I stopped checking 4chan completely a few years ago due to overmoderation, so yeah.
I still check ever once a while but it usually takes around an hour max before some post I make get deleted or the captcha becomes impossible to solve. Or to see deleted posts getting quoted, or an interesting thread getting deleted before I can read through it.
>>421003 That doesn't really matter, knowing the url you can check them in the archives. In fact, many threads are easier to read through the archives, or through an app that permanently caches incoming posts, given how many posts get deleted.
>>421142 If you mean the /trash/ threads, it's because that the only board outside of /b/ that allows furry porn. If you mean /aco/ well that is the only board where you can request vanilla porn of /co/ characters since /co/ mods bans any porn request unlike /v/ or /a/.
>>421146 those idiots inhabiting the dumpster fire won't believe you. They'll suck you into the black hole and force you to play their version of Among Us.
>>416117 I'm this close to disassociating from /aco/. assholes insulting actual autists (which included my cousin's son who died from COVID-19 months ago). Are these 6th-grade sociopathic reptiles never received any affection as children?
>>421157 That's not a case of /aco/ sucking, it's more like a case of standard lingo on anonymous imageboards. People seem to forget that part of the charm of 4chan is that you are *allowed* to be a total asshole and say anything you want without any repercussions thanks to anonymity. For example, way before the PC/LGBT culture emerged, everyone on every board was referring to each other as fag or nigger, so much that both phrases effectively lost their meaning as insults.
tl:dr; don't jump in the pool if you don't know how to swim.
>>421160 >allowed* to be a total asshole and say anything you want without any repercussions thanks to anonymity. And that the reason why there is so much shit
>>421170 >And that the reason why there is so much shit
Nah, the reason 4chan is so bad now is because selective moderation, zero administration or transparency in administration, stupid board rules, and nonstop shilling for big media.
>>421185 No. Bans used to be public, there was even a public list for them to browse, and you also had a suggestion box form which had public replies from the administration. The ban list may be there (I didn't check), but visible bans are extremely rare and used only as jokes, the suggestion box got 0 updates after Hiro took over and then was removed entirely, and the whole "high quality posts" rule basically gives carte blanche for janitors to delete any post they don't like with no rhyme or reason. Moot at least told his moderators how to run the site, for better or ill. Hiro doesn't do jack shit beyond hiring more janitors every three or so months and letting the site rot.
>>421639 You mean is google captcha getting revamped for the worse, or did they just up the difficulty so you have to solve it for ten minutes before it lets you through?
>>421699 Seems like one of those games where you can edit 1 pixel of a huge canvas, except the canvas is a really huge map of the planet.
I remember back when someone did the same thing but with an advertising twist; every pixel on a website was individually sold as ad space. That one was interesting.
I thought this was an EH thread, but after finally reading through it, decided it was good enough to show you: https://boards.fireden.net/co/thread/119405850/
>>422056 You can get your IP changed with some ISPs. If you use ADSL, fiber, or anything else that requires PPPoE logins, you can usually just reconnect and get a new IP. If you have the same IP, try to change the mac address of whatever device that is closest to the incoming internet; either your router or your PC (or maybe a modem if you have access to it). When I had cable, this latter was necessary to change IPs.
Used to have /co/ and /tg/ as primary viewing boards over on 4chan proper, nowadays they are complete garbage.
Just neverending spam and shitpost threads, alot of it blatantly /pol/ shitposting. Also they seem to actively revile the idea of creativity or original board content compared to the old days.
>>422141 >Also they seem to actively revile the idea of creativity or original board content compared to the old days.
This is pretty much what killed the sites for me. There's still the occasional old drawfag dropping by with something good but all of those boards are decidedly anti-fun now.
The biggest threat to 4chan Prime right now is bots. It is one thing to have no life weirdoes mindlessly spamming the same thing every day; it is ANOTHER ENTIRELY to have robots spam with even less soul and even more often.
>>422170 You're retarded Twist, the personal touch of human autism like the spastic that makes all the Doctor Doom threads to bitch about him are way more annoying.
>>422171 >Doctor Doom threads That guy has even taken it to reddit sub-boards now, he posts the exact same threads in the exact same way using all the same phrases he did on /co/.
What kind of mental illness causes someone to do something that obsessive?
>>422704 It's a sign of the times, I guess. /b/ used to pretty much be the face of the site. Now most of everyone just browses a few scattered boards for everything.
>>422726 I didn't expect that he was involved. In fact, I don't expect anything from hiro. Were any of you there for his first Q&A thread? He didn't understand the most basic site culture references.

>>423109 4chan mods filtered soiboy like, a week after the meme was started. Always funny to point that soylent beverage was enough for a quick response from the moderation, but spamming "nigger" is still wildly allowed and stronger than ever
>>423582 >>423581 It's from a tv show that ran for 8 years, and one of those kids is not world famous, there's no hidden message about it. Congrats on the "this should be illegal", your family must be really proud.
>>423583 It's a bunch of prepubescent girls dressed up as whores with their parents consent. I don't care what the context is, that shit should not be allowed.
>>423674 There's a bunch of fag that actually believes that spamming shit they dislike will make mods pull a mlp and ban the subject for them forever. Whenever you see someone complaining "XXFags are spamming again" in a board, there's high chances they are the ones doing the spam. /co/ anime threads in generals never feel like the people inside have ever watched any anime, not even pokemon or dragon ball, it's really alien to watch them hate something the ignore so much.
>>423675 >There's a bunch of fag that actually believes that spamming shit they dislike will make mods pull a mlp and ban the subject for them forever.
This actually works. But only for fringe shows, not ones with huge mainstream appeal. And it won't pull an MLP, just temporarily ban the subject, for as long as the janitors remember anyway.
>>423880 >But it is also AWESOME since the bit activity actually went down. My thoughts. There's a hypothesis it got rid of all the bots for a while. Or maybe the phoneposters. Either is a win. On the plus side, it might encourage movement towards alternate *chans. On the down side, it might encourage movement towards alternate *chans.
>>423918 It's just so blatant on /co/, it's in every thread, no matter the subject, at all time of the day. you can't make a compilation for it, it would be a permanant video on the whole board 24/24. I feel like there's more impunity to do it on /co/ too, on other boards mods tend to delete threads and ban people. On /co/.... not so much. At best you see a shadow ban, and that's because you were the victim.
>>423923 /co/ is full of soft people with lots of feelings to be hurt. Good people, love them, but not as hardened and edgy as many other boards. That is why /co/ is so easy to bait.
>>423924 I feel like co's subject plays a role in this. comics and cartoons used to be a super niche fandom but recently it became normalized so you have constant culture clash between people who have specialized in an IP for 35 years and 12 years olds with 18 pronouns that insist 1500$ worth of funko and a youtube link is way enough to take control of a general thread. Shit turns to pol because politics is really the only insults that exists online anymore.
>>423945 Funny thing is, back in the 00s no one gave a shit about insults on 4chan because it was a place you could insult anything and anyone freely. Everyone spent so much time being assholes to others that eventually we stopped giving a crap about it. And now that /co/ is its own community, people got asshurt about insults again.
>>423977 /co/ is dreadfully boring and has been for a while. Tribal shit isn't inviting conversation unless you are a convert warrior of the cause./trash/ is for the mentally challenged though, most thread are empty, it's the same folder of pictures in loop for weeks and weeks and weeks.
>>423984 >most threads are empty, it's the same folder of pictures in loop for weeks and weeks and weeks Coomers cannot think, or talk to other people, only dump or ask for you to dump for them.
>>424001 They don't have NSFW tags on 4chan proper, its always been the case that you aren't allowed to post nudity on a blue board just by spoiling it and might only get away with it if the mod is feeling like looking the other way.
/m/ over on 4chan proper is having one hell of a thread because someone wasn't paying attention to what board they were currently on when they wanted to ask people about thermostats.
The janitors of /a/ over on 4chan are some of the worst on the entire website.
They have a super autistic idea of board purity and deleting what 'isn't /a/ related' and will lash out once people begin questioning it. Going from "off topic" to "trolling".
In this case its in the Cyberpunk Edgerunner threads, they freak out when people starting posting screenshots from the games or books when discussing lore of the franchise relevant to stuff that happened during the anime.
>>426966 /a/ has always been the most coddled board on 4chan. The whole point of the board was the give anime fans a safe space from the trolls and muck that was /ba/ which became /b/. It is still the only board where I have seen mods ask the users how the want the board to be run and what unwritten rules should be followed or just to say hi.
>>427832 Well that's new. I can see a definite benefit for occasional recreational use and a lot of benefit for legalizing it, but videos like these feel a bit dumb.
Not even the weirdest one. There was one guy who made some... I dunno, Libyan revolutionary bot on /pol/ using the 4chan pass, it actually got really popular and people kept wondering if it was a legit schizo or some automated bot. The guy running it then made an entire youtube video about it. And of course there's barneyfag.
There has been an influx of new users on /co/ Prime. Unfortunately, they are all tourists and probably underage. Apparently they believe shitting up threads with low effort spam would make them appear like edgy 1337 anonymoose legion, and make them /ourguys/ overnight. Unfortunately, their underage and touristness is showing.
>>429964 Because Hiro is a massive fuckwit who does not give a fuck about the site, and the deputy admin was not online at the moment to instantly catch whatever broke temporarily.
Honestly, expecting a free site to never go down for like 12 hours every month or so seems strange. Expecting sites to stay up perpetually is strange as well. Like, Internet is not magical, neither providers nor servers are immaculate.
That being said if I lose internet access for a day I'm reduced to a broken shell of a man rocking back & forth clutching my knees, screaming curses at the heavens for unleashing this torment upon me.
>>429967 A lot of big imageboards have been taken down in the last couple of year. Specially a lot of anons on Hispanic boards has been paying attention to it and this specific offline, but from what I've seen from talking to other people, 4chan just goes down from time to time and this isn't really noteworthy.
>>429980 Thing is, there's no communication. If there was a big red notice saying "we are performing maintenance, be back shortly", no one would wonder why things get broken.
Of course they might have just ran an update and not realize that it broke everything, until a day later.
>>429964 Sound like a silly conspiracy to me. 161 do doxxing constantly, it usually won't coincide with a denial of service. Plus those who actions have completely different requirements and effects. >>429966 Devs/sysadmin are definitely distinct from the ownership staff at this point. But incidentally, yes, Hiro is a massive fuckwit who does not give a fuck about the site. >>429967 I can't tell if it's more 'kids these days' or disturbing addiction. >>429980 Didn't hispachan just commit sudoku (rather than being taken down by anyone else)? >>429981 Having been behind the scenes on a medium-sized imageboard, it would be no surprise if 4chan were just as amateurish, despite the bigger fame and two decades of experience to draw from.
>>430919 Yeah I suddenly noticed this too while browsing when I acidentally clicked on porn boards that before had been hidden for the moral decency of the advertisers.
The captcha at 4chan is getting worse and worse. Now you also have to use a Cloudflare captcha test, twice, before the 4chan one appears. And it's getting to the point that it is completely unintelligible.
>>431006 I've tested it a bit more thoroughly, you must allow the cf_clearance cookie to stay for the cloudflare thing to only appear once ever. If you clear that one cookie, the cloudflare box will always appear.
so if you use 4chan with some cookie auto clearer, you'll have to whitelist that one.
Reposting someone else's post. I tested this, and it's true. Cloudflare is adding extra compression to save space and % of data they need to send. But the end user gets fucked.
At least the original copies of images are still hosted, but now it's harder to get to them.
>>431184 oh yeah, the cloudflare image recompression thing. I had to mess around with that for a little while. the shitty part is that because every site does recompressing, the more a file is reposted, the more horrible it will look. i have to wonder if it is indeed to save bandwidth, or if it is just so they get better scores on google pagespeed because some moron exec decided it is the absolute most important thing to pursue.
>Global Rule 8: Complaining about 4chan (its policies, moderation, etc) on the imageboards may result in post deletion and a ban. This rule really just seems like primarily an excuse to shut down anyone hurting the feelings of mods and jannies for being shit.
>>431434 No, it was there for at least over a decade. I imagine it was put there so moot could kick off anyone who was bitching during that time when /v/ did nothing but bitch about gamergate. I can't find the pic explaining it, but iirc it got so bad that influential people reached out to moot to stop anonymous shitposting about their retarded niece, which resulted in the moderating team nuked (most of whom have been veterans), and replaced with retarded yes-men on a power trip who just removed whatever moot wanted removed. I think that happened during gamergate but it may have been earlier (2012?), I don't remember.
