as we all know Cred Forums is dying, and has been for the past 13 years.
>dying >site has more users than ever
yes, the same like a dead body attracts flies and gets filled with maggots. the maggots eat the dead body, pupate, and fly away.
Right now Mootwo tries to get money by giving the pass users some extras, which to me seem like the sort of thing that will kill this site even faster.
pic related, a tripfag (already an unliked group of this site) with a shield showing how fantastic they are.
Why do i think this is a bad idea? if mootwo wants more money, then the one thing people most likely do not want is a fucking badge showing that they gave money to this shithole.
The reason this is Cred Forums related is because right now, with an uncaring owner who only took over to make money, the chance of Cred Forums getting 404'd permanently is pretty fucking high.
What can we do? -let Cred Forums die, find smaller chans. the quality of most boards has become quite terrible anyway in the past 9 years that i've been here -somehow get mootwo to listen to some good ideas -kill a number of boards (do we really need 68 boards?) -recode the site to use cache instead of re-caching on every refresh -reduce maximum image size on most boards, make some boards text boards -combine similair boards (tricky, not impossible) -get rid of the godawful front page image, and youtube video that shows up on 404'd pages -publicly release the total income and costs of Cred Forums, bring back the money-o-meter
Make Cred Forums open source, and find a way to distribute it with 1:1 parity so that there isn't a single point if failure. We also need an admin who isn't afraid of operating at a loss and willing to spend money from his first job (cause let's be honest, Cred Forums admin isn't a real job, no matter how hard it is) to keeping this place up and running.
>inb4 something like the fappening fucks over the owner I'm sure there's a legal user willing to donate his time for such cases.
I don't think now is the time to argue about which boards to kill, we can do that when we're stable again, we just need to find a way to get ourselves out of this hole and not fall back in again, no matter how traffic changes.

if there's even 1 million unique posters per month, i'm sure there should at least be a dozen 'usable'/good people in regards to law, coding, etcetera.
Benjamin Harris
You can easily block that "shield". And if you want, you can also hide all posts from tripfags.
I fail to see a problem.
Julian Young
the problem is that people will not want to buy a pass if they get a green badge in their name.
same with tripfags: opinion discarded by default.
Aiden Ross
>the problem is that people will not want to buy a pass if they get a green badge in their name. Good then that it doesn't happen. It only shows up if entered specifically in the options field.
Grayson Baker
Since they don't want to take donations, making passes more useful is a great idea. Donations are risky business anyway.
Zachary Martinez
>9 years Jesus shit, just leave already
Elijah Thomas
But it only shows up if you want it to.
Nicholas Adams
you're absolutely right but this site has ruined me to the extent where i feel nauseous just helping my mum with facebook.
didn't know that. i bet a lot of non-pass owners don't know this.
donations work for many organisations related to Free Software. works for Wikipedia.
Wyatt Wilson
to do this correctly (i.e. it doesn't shut down in a month due to technical problems) would take a lot lot of work. Even when it was done, it would be extremely slow. cite freenet. board software is already a clusterfuck.
Nathaniel Fisher
>newfriends think that Cred Forums didn't die a decade ago
Blake Gonzalez
I like Cred Forums for its free speech, although that seems to be curtailed more and more these days
Owen Wilson
I'm using Cred Forums since this summer and I can confirm, the quality is still droping
Justin Smith
Oh. That's an obnoxious badge I must try to post with.
Ryan Gomez
Trying again. Maybe sage breaks it.
Asher Gray
Gay. I always liked that option on other sites for information. It lets people dickwave when they want to just to be an ass but still blend with everyone else for other purposes.

>-recode the site to use cache instead of re-caching on every refresh and who's gonna code that >for free?
>-get rid of the godawful front page image, and youtube video that shows up on 404'd pages what does this solve
Parker Martin
Remove the name too, dude. Trips and capcodes may be relevant to admins and mods for both here and other sites, but the name is always useless and space wasting. Getting rid of the year is also a good idea, given you have the memory for it.
Anthony Bailey
Literally one line of HTTP header Cache-Control: max-age=3600
Cred Forums codebase is just PHP shit anyway
Adam Johnson
>Cred Forums is dying >9 years that i've been here Cred Forums died over 12 years ago, brah. Newfags, when will they learn?
Brody Reed
kek hourly reminder you died with it :^)
Luis Morris
you shitpost here day in day out for free. why not code for free?
it solves at least 3MB of data per page visit.
Sebastian Rogers
Nice technology thread
Isaac Ward
Would you donate if Hiroshima took a salary out of the earnings?
Gabriel Adams
if he's willing to commit 100% to this site, the community. this includes showing the revenue and costs of this site.
Nicholas Barnes
At least, I know I'm dead.
Ayden Cruz
Then might as well filter "is_thread board_g yotsuba_b_new ws", because nothing you read here will make you any wiser
Easton Myers
Use a 4chin browser, or be a bad-ass and read straight from the Cred Forums API.
Blake Sanders
I'll say it again, force webp, more than half of the retards will fuck off with their inane memes and shitposting. This equals lower bandwidth and lower traffic. It's the only way out.
Josiah Evans
It's not about being wiser. It's about clearing expected defaults which needn't be displayed.
Hudson Ramirez
Test
Brayden Rogers
Im using AppchanX and I can't see who's a pass-user. I'm a passUser and nothing shows
Isaiah Evans
Didn't know that. Testing.
Gavin Foster
>recode the site to use cache instead of re-caching on every refresh Isn't this part of what cloudfare does?
Jace Howard
What do Cred Forums pass users get? Might consider one honestly.
Owen Parker
Cred Forums's only really been around for a decade, and I know you weren't here the first 3 years
Ayden Jones
Access to full history of every pornographic posts including CP and all existing fetish
Oliver Morales
The only feature that matters is no captcha
Isaac Watson
>opinion discarded by default. heh
Mason Peterson
Cred Forums didn't make it to it's first birthday, buddy. It's been dead for almost 13 years.
Michael Reed
Wouldn't matter to make a new Cred Forums everything after the 90's and 2000's automatically is destined to suck because millineals and black sjw christ why cant we go back nothing is worth living for anymore maybe I should just die alone with my comfy linux netbook running a gameboy emulator and a comfy 90's japanese game that was made before jews globalised every industry and fired ua white men for women and minorites
Tyler Butler
(You)
Joshua Morris
Lol
That wasn't even a big deal in the first place. Doesn't it also allow you to post with a VPN/Proxy? I taught that was a thing with the pass.
Justin Perry
maybe if you kill yourself you won't have to suffer with us any more.
Owen Cooper
(Me)
Brandon Davis
>killing the dead
Matthew Bell
Why doesn't the site just mirror a single image instead of letting get uploaded 100,000,000 time
Charles Walker
>no trip used >>heh ?
anyway, here is an updated version (name badges are now taken into account, minor bugfix) of the script to hide/remove posts/badges from passfags >pastebin.com/BihDdXia change the "mode constant" to better suit your liking (default is putting the post into "vanilla/pristine mode")
>inb4 why not just hide the badge >>line breaks still visible >>cant hide the complete post >>cant discard the complete post
i wont touch this anymore unless something changes
Cameron Price
>bullshitting and being this mad Lel The only things that need to get fixed are >Selling the data And >The amount of weak liberal cucks on every board
Gabriel Turner
Eh? .n-pu { display: none !important; }
Works just fine for me
Josiah Reed
oh yeah? visit this thread then
Gavin Scott
>find smaller chans But I have. Several dozen but 95% of them produce at least 10 posts a day site wide. I still depend on Cred Forums for news and faster inquiries.
Jonathan Lopez
>Getting rid of the year is also a good idea May still be relevant when making screenshots.
Isaac Wilson
Unless there is a coordinated migration to (2*4)chan I doubt anything will happen.
Henry Clark
Cred Forums is a circlejerk garbage board anyway, no loss if it's gone to be honest
Brody Morris
>"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." >1 year later retarded gook kills the site
Don't fall for the Cred Forums is dying meme, gookishima wants to somehow make some profit out of this shithole, whether it is by getting more people to buy Cred Forums passes or by lowering server fees
I won't give that cunt eyed gook a single penny
Ryder Gonzalez
while i don't mind his nationality nor his genetics, i wouldn't give him my money either.
Moot I would hand over my bankcard and PIN.
Noah Russell
Make every board a text board .... or use reddit as an external image host :^)
Charles Carter
I hope Cred Forums dies though. So I can finally leave this shithole.
Brayden Gonzalez
tfw we'll just get sucked into something worse like video games or some shit
Caleb Foster
Combining boards or removing boards doesn't get rid of traffic you idiots
Daniel Clark
Use the filter and you'll be fine.
Aaron Hall
This was the first implementation. It doesn't work like that anymore. There is no need for a special script for it.
Lincoln Reed
just fuck off back to 8gag
Oliver Morales
one person posts cp, that computer now has it and is hosting it, that user is now, if the government is watching, going to jail.
I would NEVER use any personal hardware for Cred Forums, the reward is not worth the risk.
Kayden Campbell
it reduces the amount of data served. combine 2 boards: 15 pages instead of 30.
Blake Harris
How do I unsubscribe from your blog?
Luke Johnson
I don't know why gookmoot bought this dump, Cred Forums is toxic for advertisers and NEETs don't have any money so it's never going to be a profitable venture. He can generate money by doing the things moot wouldn't: accept donations, sell merchandise covered in memes but instead he's started spamming the passes and putting malware in ads before pulling them.
Robert Mitchell

Jeez it's not like telecommunists would lie - on the internet of all places! I mean for a second there it seems like you trusted the telecomix crowd.

I'm not sure how web hosting laws work, but is it possible for an amorphous group of people to own something? Like, I'm imagining a bitcoin pool where we can donate money but the only way for money to go out is to go to predefined sinks, namely the web host and the domain registration. Plus, who said anything about personal hardware? It should be a VM cluster/dedicated server, but with enough redundancy to be able to go down multiple times and come right back up without a hiccup.
hopefully notch buys this place and it sorts itself out
if not, here is how to fix:
delete the following boards: >(/c/, /d/, this can all go to /e/), >/f/, /hr/, /m/, /u/, /vg/, /w/ can go to /wg/ >/i/, /ic/, /cm/, /hm/, /lgbt/, /y/, /aco, /asp/, Cred Forums, /cgl/, Cred Forums, /jp/, (/mlp/ its been years already, they'll get over it), /po/, /qst/, /tg/, /toy/, /vp/
i'm not joking. i know you'll say, hey, you can't just delete whatever doesn't interest you. however, the needs of a few should not outweigh those of the majority
Wyatt Powell
Hres the tops to get voted off out of the 3 parts : Yaoi (part 3) Cams and meetups (part 2) Cute male and handsome men are neck and neck (part 1) Also can moderators pin this thread please?
Jacob Garcia
some of these boards can all fall under one section
for example, /d/, /h/, /e/, can all go under one board.
/jp/, /w/, Cred Forums, can go under one board
/hm/, /mlp/, /cm/, /lgbt/, /y/, can go under trash
/soc/, Cred Forums, shouldn't really be on a website full of nerds
Noah Lopez
If you deleted /mlp/ the spam of pony pictures would bring this place to its knees within a week. Keep them in their containment board.
Delete all the porn boards though.
Robert Russell
- doesn't work without a controlled migration, which itself doesn't work without some kind of filtering facility to ensure the users lurk before posting on the new chan - hiroshima nagasaki only listens to money - this will merely unleash the kraken on every remaining board - it already uses a cache AND cloudflare AND there are millions of open-source full-stack chan codebases available - this would kill the whole original point of Cred Forums - see previous - that literally won't do shit - this would only show that the admins have always been corrupt and stay corrupt to this day
Opinion is: stop sucking hiroshima "pure cancer" nagasaki's cock so much.
John Morgan
Hosting a banlist p2p is enough to kill all cp. The idea is that the "real host" signs with their private key and the public key is used to prove the new version of the banlist is legit, but peers can easily redistribute that file.
