So it's all come down to this. It's been fun while it lasted.

Winter is coming :(

easy fix, close all boards except Cred Forums /x/ Cred Forums Cred Forums and /out/

everything else is trash.

And /fit/. I need to jerk off sometimes.

WebP

Problem solved. Shame this site's run by a tech illiterate chink.

/wsg/ is amazing, all the porn boards and Cred Forums needs to go

Cred Forums is like 80% of the traffic and it's nothing but normies who don't go any further into the site

There are porn sites for that, Probably a lot of the bandwith being consumed on this site is by people trying to use it like a porn site.

>u is not on the list
I will fight you to the death

the degenerate pron boards should be axed

I'm pretty sure you can remove all boards except for Cred Forums, Cred Forums, Cred Forums, Cred Forums and Cred Forums.

>Cred Forums
You know it's just all memes and no actual discussion right?

i really hope he deletes Cred Forums and /gif/

also this

Cred Forums has no real reason to exist anymore, its just spambots and normies flooding in because of msm coverage and 'le dark corner of the internet' memes

if the discussion cant fit into one of the topic boards maybe it just belongs somewhere else (reddit)

This wouldn't have happened with Moot. You just had to drive him away.

LOL!

What are you filthy, useless, fat nerds gonna do now??

HAHAHAH!

>A bloo bloo bloo I hope he deletes a board that I don't like even though it brings more traffic and ad revenue than our shitty board does

If you can't be serious I think reddit might be the place for you. Tons of users donate and best of all is subs you don't like can be deleted! :)

>Kick out the normalfags
>Traffic is now a fraction of what it was
??????
Literally the solution to the problem.

Get my life back

Pretty much this.

The only worry is the cancer would not leave and instead spill over into other boards.

>too young to remember jewt holding Cred Forums hostage for donations on multiple occasions

Pol is the reason why ads dont work for Cred Forums. This site needs to be family friendly

go out for a jog while someone replies to my post on cripple chan/lc half an hour later

How do you identify nurmaflagegs?

>Cred Forums

>more traffic
did you even read and understand the fucking OP?

the point is to REDUCE traffic, since there are NO ADS anymore

only a poltard could be this retarded

>stop liking what I dont like.
kys

Moot was likely tired of barely paying for servers.

Now he works for Google. Who knows why they hired him though.

>This site needs to be family friendly

No?

Don't even browse Cred Forums pumpkin.

Then bring back ads I don't give a shit surely we can find ads that aren't malicious to bring in a bit of revenue

not saying you have to stop liking it, just that there are better places for people like you. on reddit you can even have upvotes and doegcoin tip bots :^) doesnt that sound fun?

Probably go to 8 420 or lain, but not 7 c h a n.

Really just shut down some of the super slow boards down. There are boards that have the same threads up from like 2 years ago.

>people actually want /lit/, Cred Forums, /p/, /x/, and /n/ closed

Reducing ads is good.

More "Cred Forums pass" options might be good, as long as it is fair to non-paying users. Cred Forums would not be nice if we got split into 2 classes.

...

>Cred Forums
>/x/
>Cred Forums
wow

Well that's not going to work either. Cred Forums allows mostly unmoderated freedom to say what you think.

That's the good part.

/x/ is a useless shithole full of delluded faggots larping, the only interesting shit there are urban exploration threads that happen once a month

Who is moot?

>Let's close all the porn boards
>Cred Forums is dying, let's kill it

Give higher filesize limit for Cred Forums pass users. Prioritize traffic for Cred Forums pass users. Delete shitty boards that take up space for no reason.

There done.

>I don't understand the problem
Honestly don't get why /soc/ is even a thing.

/out/ has much better exploration threads
give it a try

Flawless victory! There can only be one!

Do those sound like high server cost boards?

You missed the point.

i will thanks

Cred Forums, /x/, Cred Forums and Cred Forums are putrid shit

The boards that need deleting are the high traffic normalfag boards, Cred Forums, /soc/, /aco/, Cred Forums.
To be honest, if it was just Cred Forums, Cred Forums, Cred Forums and /po/ everything would be fine.

How retarded is m00k anyway, he could literally just run traffic analysis on the site, and run the numbers. We aren't talking about some mystical magic system here.
If m00k wanted to reduce costs by x% you could reliable do so with a little analysis.

>le reddit argument

Yes everything you dont like is reddit

It's literal autism. These are the legitimate redditors who wandered in around 2011 2012 after hearing about how WHACKY AND COOL Cred Forums IS XDDDD

Honestly it's shitty. I hate to say this but do we really need /i/ and /ic/ split into two boards? Is there really such different things going on in these boards that we need two of them? That would be a good place to start.

Perhaps sacking /news/ and /quests/ as well.

/u/ is tumblr trash. Unless you can get the tumblr shit to fuck off, /u/ must be deleted. Yurifags are always anti male attention whores and self loathing "men"

force people to watch 10 seconds of gore before allowing them to complete the captcha

sick trips btw

Thanks for the (you)?

>Cred Forums have three options.
>malicious ads
looks like moot is getting it right

/x/ appeals to a genuine interest though. boards like Cred Forums, /soc/, /adv/ are basically the same discussion you could have on facebook or reddit. only difference is kiddies can cuss on there and look at boobies without mom being mad

>These are the legitimate redditors who wandered in around 2011 2012 after hearing about how WHACKY AND COOL Cred Forums IS XDDDD
This, fuck. I remember when the reddit menace was just a fucking joke.

reminder

Paywall the entire site. People can pay $50 a year to play on the godforsaken PSN, they have no right to complain.

>The boards that need deleting are the high traffic normalfag boards
Right. The boards with the most activity need to stop. This is how we keep a forum alive, by driving its userbase away.

hope u got ten bux

what interest? larping as a demon or claiming you got a tulpa in every thread?
No one even does paranormal investigation/ exploration there, it's just a bunch of deluded retards

never ever ;_;

Since Cred Forums is dying, we need to exchange reddit names to keep in touch. Put your username in the Name field.

I use

/r/learnprogramming
/r/programming
/r/futurology
/r/science
/r/canada
/r/politics

I lurk

/r/altright
/r/worldnews
/r/Europe

How does Hotwheels keep 8ch alive then?

why doesn't he just severely reduce the filesize limit on busy boards where high quality images are irrelevant?

Funny thing is, although anyone's kneejerk reaction is NO! this is actually the solution.
Thing about the number of normalfags who visit, and think about how much money you get from malicious ads. Anyone who is a regular will use adblock.

He isn´t he left that shithole like 2 years ago and now it´s dying.

seriously why the fuck no one uses it?

>delete Cred Forums and Cred Forums (edgy teenager entry point)
>delete /soc/ (normie entry point)
>delete Cred Forums (tumblr entry point)
>delete /mlp/ (why does this board still exist?)

So it's come to this. You said this would happen Cred Forums I remember. I remember all the thread deletions about why this nip was run out of 2ch and now here we are.

I really wonder how much longer it will be until we hear Cred Forums has yet another new owner, most likely an ad company is the next one. I give it 2 years maximum.

ban phoneposters

implement webp

delete Cred Forums and /gif/

he doesn't own it anymore

ban all the ips currently posting on Cred Forums

They used to have some great /hebe/ action.

IPFS integration will work

Do you think deleting a giant board like Cred Forums will make all those users leave this website? They will just drive up the traffic on other boards.

That doesn't identify normalfags, it just lets through silly teens still in their Cred Forums phase.
Malware will get Cred Forums blocked from every indexer/search engine if google adds it to that list of sites, half the world's isps (inb4 that's good) and most browsers.

There's also this really edgy site called voat that I use when I feel like being a bad goy. It's great for political shitposting and FOSS activism.

That's retarded. I need to shitpost here while out.

That's all nice he posted there.

But where is the evidence.

there are names? i don't wish to live anymore.

Every board is larping. No one on pol is really a nazi. No one on biz is a millionaire. No one here actually programs or uses linux.

>close all the boards except the ones i visit
there is no nigger worse than you. kill yourself retarded nigger jizzscum.

best solution is to remove archives, bring back the true "no memory" model and to increase moderators, but moderators that actually give a shit about Cred Forums and aren't just soapboxing faggots. they should stick with the rules, but also recognize board culture. public bans need to come back and we need a way of filtering out normalfags. more mod fuckery is good, it keeps people on their toes and normalfags get turned away by random shit that might happen for short periods of time.

Block the site if the user is using AdBlock.

Kill Cred Forums pass, and offer a pay-what-you-want donation system.

Kill all the anime-related boards except for Cred Forums.

Kill all the porn boards.

Kill /hr/, /wg/ and the gif/WebM boards.

Be more aggressive banning users. Make posting unrelated images like anime avatars a permanent ban offense.

Kill Cred Forums, permaban users that post Cred Forums shit on other boards.

Basically you want to make Cred Forums less popular. A smaller user base but a sustainable one.

Cred Forums has existed before Cred Forums and it could exist after. Some will say that Cred Forums is a containment board, but that is just not true. Cred Forums is mostly a cultivation board. I remember the early days of Cred Forums, people use to be mostly libertarian secularist, now it's just dues vult make America great gas the kikes race war now. It cultivates a culture and those people will always wonder to other board.

as opposed to which board?

>Kill /hr/
/hr/ is fine. celebrities need to be removed.

>No one here actually programs or uses linux
go to /dpt/ and the general linux thread and tell me otherwise faggot

>Kill Cred Forums, permaban users that post Cred Forums shit on other boards.

You need to be gassed. pol is the only noteworthy thing on Cred Forums since like 2010.

GamerGate? That was pol. Pepe memes? That was pol.

...

No, high res images take to much server bandwidth and disk space. It needs to die to save Cred Forums, user.

pepe is from r9k
this is how dumb the average polmemer is

>Basically you want to make Cred Forums less popular. A smaller user base but a sustainable one.
How do you know that this the goal of Hiro?

that's the point, that board brings too much unwanted attention to Cred Forums you fucking newfag troglodyte

We don't need that edgy bullshit, go be 12 somewhere else.

>pepes came from Cred Forums
lel kys it was the autists at /r9k/

Fuck it I can afford to buy a pass.

I'm sick of working for Google anyway.

Celebrities are the only ones that are posted incessantly. The rest of /hr/ is actually worth hosting (since it's not repetitive celebrity shilling and waifufaggotry) and it moves at a slow pace.

>Pepe memes? That was pol.

Cred Forums is that delusional ;)

Cred Forums is one of the best boards on here.

Kill Cred Forums. Nothing but trap and dick-pic threads.

limit image size to 200 kb and use webm's guy autism
make all boards nsfw and can mods while "hiring" more janis to delete cp
make secret board just for gold users
reduce gold cost

it's not his goal (he clearly just wants more money) but it is probably how most oldfags would want this place to be

so you'll work for Hiroshima Nagasaki instead?

>paying $20 for a year on a site that's only going to be around for another month

So when are we migrating to infinity chan?

>It's "le delete Cred Forums xD" episode

>I'm sick of working for Google anyway.
moot is that you? please come back :^(

I'll probably be able to get a social life.

We need more ads, malicious ads. Casuals will be turned off and those with common sense ublock edition will stay.

>kill the already dead porn webm/gif boards that consume the vast majority of traffic and have a low userbase
>force webp

fucking close Cred Forums already

get rid of Cred Forums.
thats really the majority of the problem.
most will spread out to Cred Forums Cred Forums Cred Forums /s/
hire more janitors for the 2 month shitstorm that will follow, wait for everyone to leave and go somewhere else, then continue on Cred Forums-less

Racist pepe is the only famous Pepe. Pol made him. We're the reason he is an official hate symbol now that strikes fear into the hearts of the political elite.

Been here since '12 faggot.

We can't lose Cred Forums or image or server quality. Fuck ads. Fuck Google. People will pay there are lots of older folks around here these days too.

The vast majority of of /hr/ is stupid celebrity photos. If you made a rule that said no celebrity photos or they must be contain to only one thread at a time, the boards traffic would go down by like 70%.

Why couldn't that gook get aliexpress or gearbest to advertise here, we already have /csg/, and it's not like they have a reputation to protect.

We like the "alt-right" where we can see them.

baka desu senpai

>confirming that you're a newfag
Top kek, back to your containment board

I so fucking hate feet fags

>People will pay
and where does it stop? gookmoot wants to make a profit, not provide a good website. this nigger will pull more shit like pass signatures just to steals shekels from retards.
it's going downhill man, we need a 1:1 clone.

>Racist pepe is the only famous Pepe.

>We can't lose Cred Forums
why?

>here since '12
>'12
lol

Okay Mr. FBI Man.

>Moot
sure is summer in here

Ever since news sites reported on it, it became sort of true from that point on.

Reminder m00k created a fake version of 2ch when he was kicked out for censoring and selling data. This fake version grabbed user posts from 2ch.
Sheeki anyone?
THE TRUTH:
m00k creates sheeki forums, steals content from Cred Forums to earn a quick buck.
moot sees this and threatens to take legal action against m00k. Using this as blackmail moot forces m00k to purchase Cred Forums off of him, he was looking for a way out we know this.
Now m00k is just trying to make more money.

Not widely supported. You need to convert the file if you want to use it anywhere else.

Why?

le epic raidz 4 the lulz haven't been cool since 2008
All they do is attract edgy teenagers

Well Cred Forumsurus, do you think Hiro is just incompetent? Here's part of Moots farewell:

>I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide Cred Forums with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team Cred Forums is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years.


Or do you think Moot knew the ship was sinking and bailed? I imagine Cred Forums and /gif/ tower over other boards in terms of data usage. I highly doubt this will be the end though, I'm sure they will receive more donations while curbing costs by halving file size and/or increasing the cooldown for posting. Webp could be a great way to decrease image sizes also and really at this point .gif should be phased out.

/lit/, /his/ and /adv/ still have some really good stuff.

I hope they don't shut any boards down. I'd rather have popups since I'm a mobile fag anyway.

Cop on. You don't have to do it (yet).

SA is still going anyway.

>Block the site if the user is using AdBlock.
Maybe that'd help, but there is an ethics issue and it's not hard to get around.
>Kill Cred Forums pass, and offer a pay-what-you-want donation system.
Are you new? Prior to the pass, this is how moot used to make ends meet. That is, until he racked up $20k in debt because it doesn't fucking work.
>Kill all the anime-related boards except for Cred Forums.
>Kill all the porn boards.
>Kill /hr/, /wg/ and the gif/WebM boards.
Killing boards is not the solution. Every board has its culture and its the reason why people even use this shitty site still.
>Be more aggressive banning users. Make posting unrelated images like anime avatars a permanent ban offense.
Bans don't work and you know that.
>Kill Cred Forums, permaban users that post Cred Forums shit on other boards.
I'd like to see this happen but, point above.
>Basically you want to make Cred Forums less popular. A smaller user base but a sustainable one.
That's true, but what you're suggesting wouldn't add much value back into the system.

I honestly believe the only right way to do this is to make the pass more attractive. Again, ethical concern but, if the pass had a higher upload limit, access to hidden boards, or some other dumb benefit, maybe people would go for it?

I dunno, this is hard. What do we do moot?

>It's an everyone agrees Cred Forums needs to go so people frequently bring it up, and Cred Forumstards complain that it is episodic, episode.

does Cred Forums detect if a file exists somewhere else on the site at the same time?

Because then the server wouldn't have to have two copies of one gif or something

also, could Cred Forums somehow do an Amazon Smile sort of thing? It's not a nonprofit, though....

Oooh, what about throttling of boards depending on the number of users on at a given point?


If Hiroshima actually gave us the numbers of how much bandwidth or whatever needed to be cut, maybe we could come up with better solutions.....

Someone spill the pasta one last time

>people actually believe in the OP pic
Top fucking kek, neo-g is showing! :D

Remove /mlp/ and whatever the pokemon one is, we already have Cred Forums, Cred Forums and Cred Forums.

Maybe he just didn't want to admit that things were actually pretty grim.

If I was abandoning a website because things were not going that great with it(while it was still hugely popular), the last thing I'd say is "yea you guys are going to be fucked sometime in the future".

click on the /qa/ link retard

>everyone agrees

Posting using pass

>does Cred Forums detect if a file exists somewhere else on the site at the same time?
Yeah, it does. But I think it's limited to the same board. It's happened to me before, but not recently.

That's the reason it needs to stay. It's a containment board.

>Cred Forums did pepe

Pepe is part of Cred Forums, not Cred Forums

I browse tech subs on reddit most of the time now anyway, I used to hate the voting system but it really does filter out a lot of stupid shit.

...

the first thing would only save diskspace, not actual traffic of the file.

Why can't we just hold annual fundraisers? I'd donate 5 bucks since I use this site daily.

>Caring what the normies think

Newfag detected.

CLONE

How do we clone Cred Forums?

They should keep gif but rename to webm and ban .gif files site-wide.

Wait, can we split Cred Forums in half?

That is, separate the SFW and NSFW boards into different subdomains. Would that encourage traditional advertisers to buy space on SFW boards? Essentially, half the site would be *clean*.

>This is the intellectual quality present on Cred Forums

>kill Cred Forums
Absolutely retarded. Politics is something that will always be discussed and when a board doesn't exist for the discussion the posters will off-topic threads on other boards

Delete Cred Forums
Delete all the porn boards and make porn generals on other boards instaban. Possibly keep one board for all porn.
Delete /wsg/
Delete /hr/
Delete /wg/
Reduce full-size limits for non-pass users by ~20%
Keep upper and lower ads

>It's a Cred Forumstards opinion matters, episode
Do you think Hitler asked the Jews what they thought about their extermination?

>does Cred Forums detect if a file exists somewhere else on the site at the same time?
Yes. If the MD5 matches you won't be able to upload the image because it exists elsewhere. The problem here is that MD5 is calculated at the server so the image has to be uploaded anyway.

Adopt webp and delete Cred Forums.
Those fags can go to /gif/ for their trap threads and they've already flooded /s/ with their location and amateur threads, so they might as well just move there.

8ch net/tech

I have a crawler that caches Cred Forums, I know there is a couple others too and there was also that guy from here that had an archive site setup although I think that's gone now.

normalfags are sort of the majority and the majority defines what is popular and what is not. Simple logic

None of the site is clean though. For example, I can call you a nigger. Think any tech big wigs are going to come by for an AMA?

Delete Cred Forums, Cred Forums, /soc/, /mlp/, /vp/, /trash/ and merge /gif/ and /wsg/, problem fixed

But seriously how was moot able to run this shit for so long and this retarded gook can't do it for I think less than a year?

Why did he add all these useless new boards and then come to us saying there's not enough money to sustain the site and shows no proof?

I think this guy is clearly hiding something and acting like a retard with his shitty engrish on purpose to fool more people into buying more Cred Forums passes, I doubt someone who used to run the most popular japanese image-board for so long can be so clueless

>thinks Cred Forums is about politics
a hearty kek from me to you sir

Cred Forums "clean" is hardly advertiser "clean"

would global page updates every 6 seconds, instead of on-the-fly, be beneficial?

>It's a "everyone saying delete Cred Forums so I must join to fit in" episode.

>Senseless racism is good political discussion
>Gassing jews is good political discussion
>Nazi memes is good political discussion

Sorry, I'm not particularly good with web development. I was talking more about the backend of it all, not just the posts and data, but more of the Yotsuba software.

I've never seen any actual discussion on Cred Forums

It's all just memes and circlejerking.

>annual fundraiser
>4ch pass lasts a year
not the sharpest crayon are you

>If you don't agree, you're a Cred Forumstard

That's not what stops advertisers. Reddit had traditional ads, don't they? I could just as easily call you a nigger there too and they stopped get paid.

It's the presence of porn that's the problem.

Why do people think deleting Cred Forums will do anything? They already leak out of their board enough as is. If there is nowhere for any of them to go, they will spread out across all boards and scream and cry about their board being deleted. Cred Forums absolutely does not have the moderation force to keep up with something like that happening.

>I don't wish to live anymore

You'll fit right in

>Delete /hr/
>Delete /wg/

YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS

>Delete Cred Forums

Cred Forums created /r/The_Donald, which fucked reddit so hard they had to change their algorithm. Cred Forums created GamerGate. Cred Forums weaponized Pepe. Cred Forums shapes Western thought and politics.

Cred Forums jerks off to Anime.

Delete Cred Forums.

Is 4+Cred Forums any good?

but deleting Cred Forums barely even saves bandwidth, considering we already killed desktop threads.

>I could just as easily call you a nigger

No you couldn't. You would get banned by a blue haired, obese SJW mod in 3 seconds. Subs that allow the word nigger get quarantined or banned. Reddit admins are figurative Marxist kikes.

no it's an honeypot

If you delete Cred Forums every board will be Cred Forums

You fucking idiots

Only allow phone posters with Cred Forums pass, less posters and more revenue.

You know what they say user. Walks like a Jew, talks like a Jew, quacks like Jew, it's a Cred Forumstard and he needs to go.

It's also the best source of Cred Forums passes.

>there is a chance of Cred Forums and /r9k/ being removed
Please make this happen.

Fine

People want to discuss politics, it's a very common topic of interest and it's nowhere near as easy to moderate as banning porn generals or something like that. When people say they don't want Cred Forums to exist and don't want them on other boards they mean they don't want politically incorrect opinions.

>thinks they changed anything because of donald duck
lmao fatpeoplehate initiated the sjwening
once again, polshits continue to impress me with how retarded they are. bet you're that same '12 joining faggot in this thread

And who exactly cares about this shit unless you are 12 years old or a 20 year old who never got over his Cred Forums phase.
Grow up you child

This site was perfectly fine before that board existed

phone posters are about 40% of posters

you'd do more harm than good

>2016
>no one is suggesting to kill the mobile posters

The problem is that Cred Forums is probably the biggest board on the site right now besides maybe Cred Forums
There would be nothing wrong with Cred Forums if it was smaller, but it takes up a lot of bandwidth and their antics bring in a lot of edgy teenagers who think Cred Forums culture is just spamming kike and nigger over and over

>change reddit algo
no, that was ellen pao
>gamergate
Cred Forums
>pepe
/r9k/

That's not true, every SJW complains about how TumblrInAction still exists on reddit. I guarantee that whatever that board posts is probably analogous to Cred Forums.

Cred Forums is cool too

No seriously, we need to delete Cred Forums. Whats what gets all the attention

Keep Cred Forums, but delete /reddit9k/

Cred Forums's age group mainly consists of secondary school teenagers. It shows in how they type out their posts.

moot ran this site for a decade and this chinktard fucks it up in a year. fucking retard. further proof that asians are a failed race.

I agree. I had to stop lurking Cred Forums so much because it's like twitch chat for reddit rightists and the recent influx due to elections has only solidified it as an echo chamber in its own way but this doesn't argue against what I said

No, they don't they don't want polfaggotry. You know exactly what I mean - that image where polshits enter a thread and yell NIGGER NIGGER JEW JEW JEW KEK much like mlpfaggots pushed ponies everywhere - no one cares, you're just being edgy.

>deleting /r9k/

/r9k/ has the bartender threads wich are some of the best threads in whole Cred Forums

>defending a useless board filled with scum

You can't delete the only board on this website where you can have general discussion.

That's stupid

Cred Forums is just as bad. It should be merged with /news/ like it was back then.

Cred Forums should also go, because it's /bane/ at this point with "what did he mean by this?", cuckposting, kino memes, and celebrity photos. There's no movie discussion, only capeshit flicks.

Is this why I have not been able to load a captcha for the past two days? I just thought it was a serverside bug but I guess this cuck wanted me to buy a pass.

no problems here with legacy captcha

>deleting popular boards actually suggested as a solution

what a goddamn retard this new owner is

They can go to /ck/. Those are just one type of thread. The NEET gravemind has to be deleted.

>bandwagening for Cred Forums removal

Nu-males and pajeets gb2 reddit

I'm going to personally email asian moot and hopefully convince him to merge/delete Cred Forums, save this post.

Yeah, but /ck/ is way slower.
The good thing about the bartender threads is that they are the last haven in Cred Forums for actual, mature feels-talk instead of the eternal >tfw no gf meme

It's working fine now.

>site owner legitimately suggesting 'malicious ads'

Serious question, who here was a Cred Forumsuru?

You're proving their point dumbass. Instead of actually making an argument you regurgitate buzzwords and memes.

lol the bartender threads aren't actually about bartending. it's just a lighthearted casual discussion, much like you'd have at a bar with the bartender

The problem is you can't fix Cred Forums without destroying it first
If you try anything to turn it into something that isn't just a nazi board, they'll cry about how it's a second Treaty of Versailles

Looking at user's graph, phone posters are the main increase of users of the site whilst desktop sessions remains the same since 2011. Not that Cred Forums wasn't shit back then, but the increase in users since then has been a notable pain in the ass, which correlates with the increase of mobile users.

Obviously a phone wide ban isn't feasible, but something to turn away phone posters wouldn't hurt the site. Even I use this site on my phone too.

>el peruANO

Average stormfront poster desu.
Most "white supremacy" forums are filled with south americans, turks and some slavs.
You rarely find actual europeans there

Deleting /pol worked beautifully the first time

>Cred Forums

The problem is what do you even consider a fix for that board?

Cred Forums isnt a problem

the big establishment that tries to destroy it is

why not have a DONATE OR DIE campaign

>2012
Holy shit faggot 2006 is the cutoff for being allowed to have any kind of opinion

They don't have a point, and defintely don't give af fuck about argumentation

>el americANO

you are right but just fyi the guy in the photo is called Edgar and he has nothing to do with that facebook post

I actually kind of feel bad for him

Welp, time to get used to lainchan's slowness

>retards thinking hiro will delete anything major

now that he's seen the shitstorm that suggestion caused, it''s pretty obvious he would sooner flood the site with malicious ads

The japs warned us, you did not listen.

pol is killing Cred Forums, every rightist site is barely hanging on because its userbase if fucking retarded


kill pol, permaban every nazi kiddie and Cred Forums will be okay

Gookmoot should just use the hentai at home distribution method.

4. Cred Forums...

oh my fucking god, what IS that creature

Is that actually going to help though?

They leak from their board, sure, but the majority of them sit within their board confines. Kill it, and they all spread to other places.

You won't be able to ban them all, they'll just ban evade, and eventually grow to be more subtler. And what would your grounds for banning be anyway?

>Cred Forums and /jp/

Dumb animeposter

>Cred Forums
>invading anything
you couldn't even invade /s4s/ when you tried

good, we could save bandwidth by deleting /bst/ threads, it's the same faggots posting the same images every time anyways.

please, you've invaded everywhere else already

your board failed as a containment board, we might as well delete it

>Cred Forums is kill
After implementing le oldfag badge good fucking riddance.

REMINDER THAT POL IS A CONTAINMENT BOARD.

IF YOU DELETE THE BOARD IT WILL INFEST EVERY OTHER BOARD LIKE CANCER. LIKE OPENING PANDORAS BOX.

t. Cred Forums User

Not that guy but again, normies and reddit crossposters will simply go somewhere else in that case but people who come here regularly or have a bit of common sense will be able to get around it

majority of the boards hate pol, ban everyone posting a picture about hitler or saying nazi shit and they will fuck off to another site

Cred Forums once tried the samson option on /mlp/ and it failed miserably.

I WILL BUY A PASS IF DESKTOP THREADS COME BACK

FUCK YOU NIP MOOT

I mean wtf who even votes for trump?

>1. switch to Go (golang) instead of using piece of shit PHP
Okay so, now we know you're either a naive 19 year old CS student or a complete and total retard. Do honestly think an entire production rewrite is feasible? Especially since he has no _paid_ dev team? This is besides the fact that go has AWFUL fucking tooling and will be a pain in the dick to support using free volunteers.
>2. use external services. imgur would probably be happy to team with Cred Forums
Are.... you actually retarded? Absolutely would never fucking happen, nor would we want it to.

yes. there are no ads so its a mobile haven

It's staggering seeing people suggesting this. I don't even go to Cred Forums and I know this will happen. A lot of people are suggesting that /mlp/ should be deleted tpp. Watch as when/if either of these are deleted, and the appropriate userbase is flooding other boards, the local userbase will ask for a containment board for them like the retards they are.

Have a single porn board for women, one for men, and one for hentai/animated shit.

Ban celeb posters from /hr/ - this should reudce file hosting costs.

Merge /n/ and /o/.
Merge /qst/ and /tg/.
Merge /w/ and /wg/

Delete Cred Forums, /vp/, /jp/, /vr/, /i/, /mlp/, /lgbt/, /asp/, and /soc/.

Yes they do. Try having an actual discussion thread on Cred Forums and it devolved into insults and le ebin rabbi memes. It's an echo chamber that has no use. Cred Forums talks about freedom of speech when they don't allow it and the former political regime they fetishize over never allowed free speech.

Literally no one with a reputation wants to advertise here. It was already kind of a risque site back then. Now that one of the boards is a bastion of neonazi scum, it'll be even harder to attract advertisers now, except sleazy people who will embed buttcoin mining scripts on their ads. I knew Hiro's hands off approach was a mistake, but I didn't knew the end was going to come so soon.

Honestly, the only viable solution is that the whole community divides by topic so that individual people host their respective communities on their own. This kind of venture will never be profitable, and the only reason it's still alive was moot not running this place for profit.

Good
Fucking
Riddance

>Have a single porn board for women

i really fucking lold

>Okay so, now we know you're either a naive 19 year old CS student or a complete and total retard. Do honestly think an entire production rewrite is feasible? Especially since he has no _paid_ dev team? the last time Cred Forums's source code was leaked, it consisted of some shitty PHP scripts...

>This is besides the fact that go has AWFUL fucking tooling and will be a pain in the dick to support using free volunteers.
people PRAISE the Go tooling, it's another GREAT thing about Go

>Are.... you actually retarded? Absolutely would never fucking happen, nor would we want it to.
how many websites have made money off Cred Forums and its memes? letting Cred Forums go down would mean MUCH less revenue for all of them...
also, imgur isn't associated with reddit anymore, so having another popular website as partner would be great for them

What we need is massive porn ads.
Porn companies pay good money for advertising.
When normies see the big porn ads on the front page they will be more inclined to leave,
and if the ads truly bother you, then you can buy a pass.

?

Cred Forums will never be deleted.

SJWs are just frothing at the mouth for this.

Moot said in his leaving news post that Cred Forums is sustainable for years and there is also this
youtube.com/watch?v=6KFz9WRRNpk

Just merge porn boards all together. If you looking at porn in a taiwanese knitting forum I doubt you're going to be bothered by feminine dicks, black cocks, anuses, boobs and vaginas being bundled together,

There already is a porn board for women, it's called /u/ and it's garbage. /u/ has a much higher than average female population and males are minority there.

I can't imagine /asp/, /i/, and /jp/ having such of an effect on the site that they need to be deleted. /vr/ can be safely merged back with Cred Forums. /vp/ is way too big to be deleted. Don't you know the next generation is coming out in less than 50 days? The amount of new game posting will flood whatever board they migrate to. If they move back to Cred Forums then everyone will request /vp/ to be brought back. Everyone will request /mlp/ to be brought back if pre-/mlp/ style posting returns.

You need to think about your suggestions before posting them.

I mean people believe in the lies gook is telling them.

I bought a pass. I've been here for more than 10 years, I guess they could have at least $15

no and no

/gif/ is a shithole which is filled with reposted webms and gifs. it doesn't generate a lot of traffic but hogs bandwidth. it's porn, gore and other edgy shit which can be found all over the internet and in much better quality and quantity.

banning .gif as a file format is a dumb idea. it doesn't fix the issue with bandwidth and bans a very usable file format. just impose strict file size limitations, especially on boards like Cred Forums which aren't dependent on images posted. in the case user need to show a higher quality version of the media, just host it elsewhere and link. browser addons for Cred Forums allow you to merge even externally hosted files directly to post anyway.

fucking hell we see people posting their direct 20mpix+ smartphone jpgs nearing 4mb each, photographs in png format or screencaps of upscaled anime episodes in png. what the fuck is the point?

-file size limit 1mb or below
-allow the use of much more compression efficient formats
-consider encoding animated gifs into webm automatically

>Now he works for Google. Who knows why they hired him though.
Moot has by far the most unique web administrator experience in the history of the internet. Why wouldn't a company want that?

They're fine generating shit content on their own bro. No one will miss us. In fact, there will be rejoice. Finally le epic frog meme will not be some weird nazi thing.

I mean a porn board for posting women, not one for women to browse.

He thinks girls don't browse Cred Forums. But I don't think it would work out too well. Even if there generally is a varying 70/30 or even 60/40 split depending on the board, the male board would be far too populated. There will be tranny shitposting everywhere and as the board will be too fast to monitor, the moderators wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Prove it

Are you new here?

But they did, they had to change how posts make it to the front page of r/all as dolan was constantly making it there, and thats bad for ad revenue.

Educate yourself before you spout off like a retard.

>since '12
And he says it as if it's a long time. I can't do this anymore.

/u/ isn't for women, it's a pretty shitty board and really slow. these boards for porn subgenres aren't needed. i would be fine if all porn boards went away from this site even if i admit using a few here from time to time. you can find that stuff elsewhere and all of the boards for porn are pretty heavy on bandwidth but low on traffic as there's a lot of media content being uploaded.

make Cred Forums pass shitpost ban free pass

How much would it help if they doubled the waiting time between posts?

You know what would help?
Removing all post timers.
Fucking newfags don't know what I'm talking about, because they've only known captcha'd, timer'd Cred Forums.

4mb is nothing. Just limit number of posts in bandwidth intensive boards.

Honestly we could learn alot from EH, its easy as fuck to get in there but people without common sense just can't do it, we need something like sad panda to both improve the userbase and reduce server costs, thoughts?

fuck you.

Fellow Cred Forums go here and let them know how you feel.

Pepe started out as Feels Good Man frog. It was created by an artist in which you had no involvement with. And the fact that you think being here since 2012 makes you old further proves my point how that place is filled with newfigs.

Just remove captcha and make sage visible again.

Basically what I meant was have only /s/ for posting women. /hc/ and /gif/ porn posters should go to /s/.

cmon you're on Cred Forums
traffic = number of views
bandwidth = amount of data sent to/from server

porn boards need to go.

there is no OC there at all, just useless garbage. the same content that is available on six billion other sites.

Does anyone still have any screencaps of that bot? I think it stopped posting around '08-09

This

People are so fucking retarded and jumping to try and ban boards they don't like. Look at banning boards that hog bandwidth with little discussion or input - the porn boards.

It's ridiculous that gif even exists when it's filled with newfags posting shit you find anywhere else. It's not even representative of the Cred Forums community when people just use it as a file hosting site when they're linked there from whatever shitty porn forum they came from.

Are you FUCKING RETARDED?

>pretending to know reddit history on Cred Forums
lol
>thinks donald duck was the first sub to spam up front page and trigger sjw
double lol

agreed, but you forgot to mention webp and Cred Forums

Why are Cred Forums falseflaggers so easy to spot? You newfags can't even spell your own board correctly. Fuck off, cancer.

and they could give users more incentive to buy it. i'd donate right away if there was a button to.

not a lot of individual users/repeated site loads which generate ad revenue vs the data being transferred.

it's nothing on my end. it's probably nothing on your end either but thousands of users downloading that 4mb file which doesn't have to be more than a fraction of it adds up to a ton of bandwidth usage and thus large server costs.

Cred Forums Pass user since June 2016.

that's just your retarded ad hoc definition, pal

I must be false-flagging. Censorship will make us no better than reddit.

And ban all generals, and remove /vg/, /s4s/, /qa/, and remove post timers, and fire all the mods to get people who actually know what they're doing instead.

>negligible

REMOVE ALL NORMIE BOARDS
NORMIES HATE WEEBS, IF THE SITE IS FILLED WITH JAPANESE SHIT THEN THEY WILL LEAVE

ISSUE SOLVED

Too bad webp isn't widely supported. Cred Forums will constantly have people asking how to convert the image because googling terms is too difficult.

Because BPG is better
xooyoozoo.github.io/yolo-octo-bugfixes/#buenos-aires&webp=s&bpg=s

The only thing hiroshima nagasaki cares about is profit. He's already selling what little info he can get on you to advertisers. He has already added malware ads on the site. He accepted payment in favor of letting shills shill where similar threads are not allowed by the community (e.g. 10 threads on the front page on the same product when the product isn't even new or anything, banning any criticism of d44m, etc.)

That's why you ban generals, too. Generals in the first place are contrary to the way Cred Forums work (and so are archives).

>cutting bandwidth by 90% on every shitpost
>insignificant

top jej.

Most of the cost of Cred Forums is going to be in bandwidth/DDoS protection. The cost of a CloudFlare Enterprise account starts at $5,000/month and probably costs way more for a site the size of Cred Forums.

The actual cost of hosting the content and adding/processing posts will be relatively cheap compared to that, so suggestions like:

>reducing file sizes
>limiting file types
>changing post timers
>restricting posts to desktop users only

None of these will have significant impacts on monthly cost. The most important thing is to get the costs of bandwidth down as low as possible

pol can go too

if anything, they should delete autist boards like lgbt, mlp, b and r9k, those were only created to contain faggots that spammed Cred Forums in the first place.

and you guys should be only allowed on here if you donate part of your autismbux to hiroshima to keep this board running.

Hire the pedo from Cred Forums and the cunnybot from Cred Forums and let them go loose until the normies are away, and then deny any knowledge of them and hand them over to the police.

Their sacrifice will not be forgotten

/vg/ is extremely well working "containment" board. removing it makes it spill back to Cred Forums and makes already one of the most active boards even more active and almost unbearable to browse. it doesn't help with the server costs.

nice png there.

surely you understood how stupid your point was about a new image format actually helping with bandwidth costs? i mean you probably do if you know about that format.

it's extremely good but won't be implemented because it's copyright/patent burdened and still wouldn't make a meaningful difference.

I don't like generals either, but I don't think something like that would work now. It's too late.

The onsite archive needs to go though. Everyone uses offsite ones which have more features, so just let them do all the work.

but /g. claims bandwidth is just 0's and 1's that should cost pennies

I don't get why this website allows images that are >2MB, people should be forced to compress them before uploading them...

2+MB videos? OK, but images??

>We're the reason he is an official hate symbol now that strikes fear into the hearts of the political elite.

This is the most 14 year old thing I've read in 3 days. Save your edge for when you grow something to shave you little skidmark.

I've been saying this since captcha started: make everyone pay 10-15 to post at all. This solves every major problem with the site:
>Actually anonymous posting via pay for pass with Bitcoin and usage of a VPN
>No more extra features for Cred Forums pass users
>Spamming is easy to remove by banning pass token
>Habitual shitposters/ban evaders either shape up or fuck off because they can't just reset their router/data connection to continue shitposting
>Money problem abated
>Increased revenue means Hiro is more likely to give a shit about this website and possibly fire all the shitmods like swaglord so we can get new ones
Give me one reason besides poorfaggotry this isn't the best option.
Note: "because SA is so good" isn't a reason. There are too many differences between SA and here for that comparison to be used.

what the FUCK are you trying to limit me from phoneposting in /bst/?

i feel like /hr/ would be very upset with you about this

Even offsite archives are cancer. Unfortunately we can't get rid of them.
Regardless, we very well know the archive is there for the FBI, not for the users.
I still think generals can be banned. After all the gamergate ban worked well enough despite the fact that it engaged so many people in the community (the same would not be true of generals - the topic can still be discussed, but only to add something new to the conversation basically).

host offsite.

>not for the users
i find them very helpful at times and i absolutely never use the on-site archive.

>block site if adblock is used
Won't stop phone posters using apps, which don't load anything but comment data and images. So scripts won't affect them.
Also won't stop users with anti-anti-adblock
>kill porn boards
Or just unify them into a single board and reduce the maximum size of an image/webm posted there. Porn is the reason Cred Forums gets some lurkers and posters, but it's also probably the largest bandwidth user along the other couple of popular boards. Maybe just creating a 2D porn and a 3D porn board. There's no need for a complete removal, but this also isn't a porn site.
>kill webm boards
Where's the fag who converted images into a webm showing it's a much better compressed data format? They should probably just reduce the maximum size and resolution of a webm, probably to HD resolution.
>kill /hr/
Agreed, high resolution images can be posted even on other boards, where they'd be relevant. /hr/ is pretty much made to waste bandwidth for no reason.
>kill /wg/
I don't see why. they could make a file size limit and users could post direct links to the wallpapers instead of posting the entire wallpaper. An alternative to this would be just a different type of data hosting, where Cred Forums only holds thumbnail images while users post links to them. This could be applied to any board, kinda like how embedded YouTube videos work.

What should probably get killed or altered:
-"adult" boards should be combined into two boards, with the exception of /t/ and /r/ which should be kept as they are. /t/ doesn't use much data at all, and /r/ gives enough traffic from normies who don't adblock.
-"misc" should probably remove /soc/ and /r9k/, and ban off-topic posters on Cred Forums
-like the other user said; merge /o/ and /n/, merge /qst/ and /tg/, merge /w/ and /wg/
-use embedded services exclusively on some boards, like porn boards, or keep a local database of webms and images so users can select and repost them, regenerating links instead of uploading them again.

Quality

I miss moot.

>Block the site if the user is using AdBlock.

Cred Forums's already got a reputation for being a malicious website, shit like this would not help

Sending shitposts to 100 million users worldwide isn't cheap

The vast majority of Cred Forums users only lurk anyways, and forcing people to pay to post will do nothing towards reducing bandwidth costs. Somebody who only posts 1 or 2 times a month isn't going to spend $15 to post; instead, they're simply going to stop posting altogether

>Refuse anyone with reddit cookies or go full on sadpanda and lock everyone out who doesn't jump through some hoops
the revenue this would bring oh boy

>reddit boogeyman
(you)

so lets force people who lurk to pay. and once they post they get a discount ?

Cred Forums accounts, just like passes now, but they're initially free and you pay 1 cent for every 100 posts, via bitcoin. Fair right? That would generate a lot and on average, I personally make around 20 posts a day.

>>Refuse anyone with reddit cookies or go full on sadpanda and lock everyone out who doesn't jump through some hoops

Reddit's one of those sites that have managed to put their scripts on half the internet. I could have never visited Reddit in my life and still have some cookies from reddit.com in my browser.

Cookies are not a reliable way of determining who visits what site.

well, hiro is talking about reducing costs, so... he could delete the most resource-intensive boards

>1-2 times a month posters will leave before paying
Okay? Who cares about them. Maybe he could only require the pass the post so lurkers don't get fucked.

>nice png there
It's a file-size to file-quality comparison, not an actual webp file

fuckit i need to renew my pass. after 2 months of loggin in i thought it was a bug and i am set for life. fuck these cookies.

>the revenue this would bring oh boy
It would reduce server costs from lower traffic
>>reddit boogeyman
Boogy man? No, I just think different kinds of people belong on each site, and when people come here from there they usually shit up the place.

True, I hadn't thought of that

>be Cred Forums
>be completely irrelevant board with almost no traffic
>think your opinion matters
kek

Success breeds jealousy

No content on Cred Forums is worth paying money for.

I don't have a problem with the concept of paying to post, but $10-15 is way too steep a price point. It would be interesting to see if there could be "plans" developed, like:

>First 20 posts/month free
>Next 100 posts/month cost $5
>Next 100 posts/month cost $5

I don't know how much revenue this would generate, but it would still allow those who post infrequently to do so and actually encourage people to make the most out of their posts instead of just shitposting/spamming. Or, if they do want to shitpost, they have to pay for it. The existing Cred Forums Pass infrastructure could probably be used to enforce these limits and still keep things "Anonymous"

For shitposting purposes I would consider the 48 kB JPG and the 38 kB WebP adequate. So you're saving 20% on an already small file, and only if you care to actually pick a low size. Big whoop

Never mind the fact that most people would just post the 200 kB version.

>Been here since '12

The biggest problem with paying to post is that mods such as on SA (and even on Cred Forums it's a problem) will ban you if you don't have the same opinion as them.

those small sizes add up

Thanks for confirming you're a newfag with such assertiveness.

And you're missing the point

The majority of bandwidth is not going to be from the 30 kB JPGs that people will save as 20 kB instead

The majority of bandwidth is coming from giant-ass .webms, large files that people saved at 90% quality, PNGs, etc.

That's why I suggested a "free tier". It can be 20, 30, 50, 100 posts/month or whatever works best. If you get banned, you just get another "free tier pass".

If you want to post more than that, though, you have to get an "Upgrade Cred Forums Pass" or something

You are a normalfag and you should be one of the people who get thrown off the site.

oh i agree with you, i think the current owner, i forgot his name, should just throttle traffic to most boards other than pol or delete them completely.

then perhaps have the mods banning more shills from pol to reduce spam.

I would never pay for "posting plans." It is either all or nothing.
Yes, but Hiro might actually care enough to address to mod issue if the site is actually making him money. If it becomes a huge issue then everyone will leave. He seems to be trying to avoid that.

like /tg/'s filename threads?

Isn't the reason why webm exists is the fact that it has smaller file sizes than gifs?

>first that spammed so bad that reddit did something significant hidden in an admin announcement
reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/39bpam/removing_harassing_subreddits/

Shills is literally how hiroshima makes money. They pay to get their opponents' posts deleted and to be able to post against board rules.

trips of truth, hear the will of kek, hiro!

All of those affect bandwidth you mongoloid

>hiro
>care
The only thing hiro cares about is money.

Only a tiny fraction of the userbase will post webps. Most people will post their large images as that's what they have and those are the most commonly used filetypes offsite. Most content posted is reposted and most content created through Photoshop/SAI/GIMP/etc are saved as .png or .jpg because, you guessed it, those are the most widely supported filetypes. It won't work as well as you think it will.

Don't forget people will post large images out of spite too.

this

Not an argument. Hiro has done more since becoming admin than moot did in over 5 years.

How much do you post a month? I'm genuinely curious. I'm not saying a "posting plan" would be the way to go, but I think you could probably find a number of free posts per month that would cover 90% of posters

No, the reason webm exists is because it has higher quality than gifs

People will upload the maximum amount of file size you give them, no matter what the format is. It just means they will be able to post higher quality files

Look at for an example. Compare an average .gif and an average .webm. They will be the same file size, but the .gif will be a 256x256 3-second loop while the .webm will be a 720p 1-minute clip.

If you want to reduce file sizes, reduce the file size cap. (If you then want to improve quality, use a more efficient format)

throttle traffic enough to make up for the money the shills pay. find another source of funding.

t. paid shill

>How much do you post per month
At least 500 times. Probably more. I'm on this site for hours every single day. I would never pay for rated posting and I've been pushing the paywall for a long time now.

Not him but I post dozens of posts per day on average, easily

In the first place, I'm pretty sure just not using cloudflare anymore will more than make up for the lost profit and will have virtually no negative consequences with a properly setup server.

>different kinds of people belong on each site
sure, that includes some part of the users. major subreddits work very similarly to each other, smaller ones can differ a lot. it's generally quite different to Cred Forums obviously. subjects and interests both reddit and Cred Forums cover overlap, hence many people do use both + plethora of other sites.
>when people come here from there they usually shit up the place
this is the most common unfounded idea a lot of people here seem to have. it's a literal meme. reddit is massive and has users of all kinds. many users here go there and vice versa e.g. "crosspost". there's nothing to support the idea that reddit users shit things up any more than a person who only visits this place or visits any other website for that matter. "shitting things up" is often quite subjective here and that goes with the nature of an anonymous board. there are certain things you have no control over and certain things you'll never find an answer to. blaming "reddit" for whatever is wrong with the site is counterproductive. it's as you already have an answer which you are content with(right or wrong) and which creates a situation you can't fix(no way to limit someone from visiting site y if you go to site x). it's a shitpost.

ok, what about off-site hosting?
what if Cred Forums allowed us to host images in other websites and embed them here?

less bandwidth costs and we won't limited to thumbnail-quality pics

If storage and bandwidth FOR data is an issue, then shit like ipfs can be used. Simple.

cp

Yes, this is another good option. I'm doing that for my site and it works great.

>No, the reason webm exists is because it has higher quality than gifs
that entirely depends on what you use the formats for. gif isn't exclusively animated and works extremely well on content with limited and flat colors such as text.

>what if Cred Forums allowed us to host images in other websites and embed them here?
install a browser addon for Cred Forums, they let you do that already. wouldn't hurt as a default feature.

That's the thing, with off-site hosting, it's no longer Cred Forums's responsibility.

Figures Cred Forums would fall for this bullshit some faggot canadian retarded started this thread to bait you fucking dumb shits into 265 fucking replies.

God damn Cred Forums is fucking horrible I miss old Cred Forums really do. You retards need to go back to posting about consumer products and your faggot generals.

Get cancer.

Ok, so that plan is probably bunk

The storage costs are negligible compared to the bandwidth costs. Front page says active content is at 761GB, which is trivial to store and host. Getting that content to 100,000,000 people each month is what costs the most money. And linking off-site is going to be a security/legal nightmare

And Cred Forums loses the off-site hoster because Cred Forums is deemed a liability from all the cp flooding in

IPFS is great but it would have to be integrated into major browsers like chrome or firefox from the get go first, you can forget about people installing plugins and shit to browse a single site.

400+ posts OPS

>that entirely depends on what you use the formats for. gif isn't exclusively animated and works extremely well on content with limited and flat colors such as text.
Okay?

That's not what people use fuckhuge .gifs for on Cred Forums, and it's irrelevant to the webm discussion.

How more efficient is WebP over PNG and JPG?

This is why we need an p2p imageboard

Cred Forums@home

Not any more than facebook, twitter or reddit.

There is zerochan, but it's a security and privacy nightmare.

yeah you rarely see gif used for that but it has the benefit and also really wide support. just thought i'd mention that before someone petitions to remove gifs.

from quite a bit(multiple times the file size) to not at all while losing quality. depends on the content in the image. compared to jpg it's all around better but not always by a huge amount. relation to png is more complex.

>every single person using a Cred Forums addon for Cred Forums alone
>"you can forget about people installing plugins and shit to browse a single site"
Nevermind the fact that gateways exist.

converting images and videos for better performance is easy.
it could be done server side, but that requires lots of resources. it could be done in the client side, or through 3rd party websites (imgur does this automatically), but most people don't even know or wouldn't care, so it would have to be automatic when posting

>This wouldn't have happened with Moot
Expect Cred Forums has died on multiple occasions in the past. Lurk the fuck moar, you insufferable newcunt. We even have a fucking banner making fun of one of the occasions this happened.

It's much better but your average person (99% of traffic outside of Cred Forums) will likely not use it even if it was supported here. It's like asking for apng.

fuck you moot, you just admitted you did the anhero, stop posting already

I've said this many, MANY times in the past:
hiro could make some money by creating a new /consumer/ board and forcing consumerist tards in Cred Forums and other boards to go there.
in that board, he could add his own referrals to, say, amazon, ebay, etc. with some regexp or something (to the ? part of the URL). that way, every time someone buys some shit suggested by someone else, he'd make some money, without bothering users much

>I'm an oldfag, I've been there all summer!: the post

p2p doesn't need to be a privacy nightmare, as projects like freenet prove

The main problem is that if something is secure, private, anonymous and has no community self-moderation (the latter two of which are Cred Forums principles), then as a logical consequence you will have no way to remove illegal content.

In other words, I hope you enjoy your CP spam

>p2p doesn't need to be a privacy nightmare,
Never said otherwise. Lrn2read retard.

>yeah you rarely see gif used for that but it has the benefit and also really wide support. just thought i'd mention that before someone petitions to remove gifs.
Nobody was petitioning to remove gifs. It seems you missed the point of my post entirely

The entire point I am making is that adding or removing formats will do FUCK ALL to affect file sizes. If you want to change file sizes, change the file size limits.

Just give more shitposting features to Cred Forums pass users and more people will buy them

Server-side conversion can be done if there's resources left to do the encoding. And considering that Cred Forums is a pretty straight-forward site it should have some power left to do it.
Client-side conversion would be easier for the server since most of the hard work would be done on the users machine, the downside is that you would rely on the fantastic powers of javascript to do the encoding before uploading. While for encoding simple images would be reasonably quick, doing videos will be a nightmare like which we haven't seen before.

new thread when?
should we move to ?

lost my shit m8 fuckin kek

if it were done on the server side it would just be worse.
>uses the same bandwidth to get on the server, but slightly less to upload to each user
>uses a lot more processing power
you can't know if the cost to compress images would be beneficial. They could probably save 5-20% bandwidth per image/video, but that would only benefit "popular" images. Those which aren't downloaded by lots of users are just wasting resources on being converted and compressed.

Why are you even fucking here? Why did you come to this site? What is the fucking point of you?
You're not welcome and never will be.

Enjoy your ban, you fucking moron.

Writing an imageboard from scratch really isn't anything special. Would work well as an assignment for some CS course.
