Cred Forums is in Financial trouble

What should Hiro do lads? Here are the options he proposed:

>1. Reduce traffic costs: delete some boards, limit image/webm file sizes
>2. Use more ads on the site, including malicious ads
>3. Increase Cred Forums Pass sales, give more features to Pass users


Mods pls don't delete this is relevant Meta-discussion

>Mods pls don't delete this is relevant Meta-discussion
good luck with that

ban america posters

>1. Reduce traffic costs: delete some boards, limit image/webm file sizes

delete /asp/

No those faggots need a containment board, shit is nearly as bad as MLP

Soccer posters are worse

The amount of squealing polacks in that thread is unbelievable.
>p-pls don't delete our safespace

>3. Increase Cred Forums Pass sales, give more features to Pass users

if you haven't bought your pass for 15 dollarydoos yet, you are an unpatriotic faggot who should leave this site for reddit

Is this/bundes/?

Kinda hope this place goes under
things are going pretty well for me socially right now and I don't need the temptation

Just cut the salary of the mods and janitors in half.

desu Cred Forumstards are genuinely subhuman, should just remove the board and keep ranging them until they all settle in cripple chan

>Japs finished Cred Forums

Just as planned.

but they do it for [REDACTED]

What's half of 0?

>they do it for free

Maybe require Cred Forums passes?

On an unrelated note why don't people want to advertise on this site? It's not like they wouldn't get some exposure.

...

t. nu-males

lmao there aren't people out there who actually buy passes, are there?? lol

Ban Canadian posters

I'll just go with the guy in the /qa/ thread and say the best idea is to just delete all the porn/hentai boards as they're taking up so much fucking bandwith.

They are essentially a remnant of the days when there were no porn-tube sites yet. Nobody needs them.

Maybe now people will realise and appreciate the sacrifices moot made for this site even when all anyone did was insult him. Cred Forums will be dead within 5 years if some kind of paywall is installed.

sup subhuman

something worse will rise from the ashes, just look at ISIS or Cred Forums

I don't like Cred Forums either but that place is quite obviously a containment board
killing it creates more problems than it solves

>doing work for Google by solving captchas
>he does it for free

you really think i'm the stupid one here?

t. Cred Forums Pass user since October 2016.

Charge them to do it

they could just moderate the boards desu
remember when the second word in the captcha was pointless and people recommended spamming nigger?

and Cred Forumstard subhumans claim the site was PC before them, fucking newfag toddler redditor scum needs to be purged already

They would just shit post for a couple of weeks and then fuck off to cripplechan. When moot fucked up Cred Forums with the cuckening, Cred Forums did nothing.

Delete Cred Forums

>muh containment board

they are still leaking massively into other boards, the containment has no effect except they have a place where they can coordinate their raids

>he pays for Cred Forums
mehmet my son

>containment board
you mean a place where all these stormfag retards could organize

Why not just wikipedia it and do a donation drive once every few months?

>implying Cred Forums users would donate anything to Cred Forums when they're not even willing to pay 15-20 dollars per year for a Pass

sup pussy

yep, and it brought in more trash too

delete Cred Forums, Cred Forumstard subhumans return to youtube comments where they belong

These faggots somehow made Pepe the fucking frog a hate symbol.

this
Surely minimum wage is sufficient for their needs, they don't need to pay for rent or food.

>t. faggot

You mean they gloriously reclaimed a meme from the normies for all 4chins

i dont give a flying fuck
if this site dies i wont care

i only come here because i am bored as fuck and i still enjoy trolling dumb cunt foreigners

Normies are creatures of now, given a year or two and they would've moved on to the next big thing. I mean shit do we even see rage comics anywhere now?

they did a decade ago. then again, there were chicks willing to get nude to spur donations

also the site was a fraction of the size it is now

this desu

ween yourselves off Cred Forums guys. i know it's hard. find other hobbies, do something else with your time. the last year I've mostly browsed Cred Forums a couple days a week when it was a daily thing for me and I've lost 157 pounds. you can do it. let this site pass like so many others have from back in your memory banks. they were fun times, but you can move on.

I visit multiple boards, how is anything a """""containment""""" board?

>since4pass is still up

wew lad

can anyone give me a run down of the mega-thread hiro made? any solutions found?

Cred Forums Pass user since August 2014.

Delete /mlp/

RIP Cred Forums, looks like i'll have to go back to bebo

I've told myself I'm going to give up Cred Forums after the election with the exception of the Lions going to the playoffs (lel)

we'll see what actually happens (>see you tomorrow) but I hope I can do it

>dumb cunt foreigners
>it's an American website

>5 years
Hiroshima will kill this site within two, look at the sad state of this once mighty board.

please end this place and give me my life back

I miss MySpace, to be honest.

>malicious ads

What did he mean by this?

How can you not make money off a site with millions of page views every day

>It's a samefags shill against boards they don't like thread
Gross and unproductive

first guy that suggested deleting Cred Forums got spammed by mega butthurt Cred Forumstards

that's the highlight of the thread

man the world cup was some fun times

Cred Forums was doomed when moot brought back pol and the whole place turned into a stormfront conservitard shithole.

There's like a million boards for really specific weeb shit, delete them and allow those fuckers to shit all over each other on one board

shitty ad deals, shitty ads that get people to use adblockers

Gook is one dumb fuck

a better question is how can you

those people just pointed out that user's retardation.

why you so scared of Cred Forums Romania?

I'm not, I just browsed Cred Forums when it was apolitical and I liked it more

Because it's not that simple, companies don't want to be associated with Cred Forums (aka the dark and shady back alley of the internet).

Remove /cm/, /hm/, /hc/, /n/, /t/, /wsr/ and at least 2 of the niche weeb boards

Fold /asp/ back into Cred Forums, /vg/ back into Cred Forums and /wsg/ back into /gif/

Thoughts?

no one is scared of pol

4. Knee pads and cherry lipstick

>Cred Forums
>posts with a username

>delete useless high-bandwidth boards like the porn/fetish boards and /gif/

IPFS

https;//ipfs.io

moot looks more and more like an iron-willed internet genius for lasting that long. Dear Leader pls come back.

has little to no effect on traffic

Remove niche weebshit apart from Cred Forums
Remove asp
Move mandrama to to tv
Remove porn boards

There u go fixed

Cred Forums has a pretty bad reputation so no legit company want's to advertise here since it would hurt their image. That's why most of the ads are selling weird japanese sex toys.

delete Cred Forums then, its still the biggest board on the site, right?
It's 90% porn anyway

The porn boards are absolutely idiotic. If you want creepy commentary on porn, read the 'comments' on porn sites.

J-List appear to have pulled their advertising, that would probably be why the financials are currently looking sour.

Make Cred Forums blue board only, other than Cred Forums.

Ya I love /gif/ but if it's taking up that much traffic I'm fine with letting it go

I think Cred Forums is now

this /s/ is shit anyway. /gif/ is still pretty good.

>hey moot, the site you founded as a teenager is now known as a refuge for pedophiles, social media trolls, and neo-nazis. want to come back and try to convince people to advertise here?

>Fold /asp/ back into Cred Forums

btw here is how you fix not only Cred Forums but Cred Forums as a whole, also higher chance of someone actually reading it here instead of /qa/ I guess

remove Cred Forums (fuck off its fucking shite) Cred Forums Cred Forums /news/ /soc/ /r9k/ >>> massive amount of trash with no insightful posts move on to a different chan

heavier moderation on Cred Forums that actually bans the youtube comments console warriors, remove /vg/ and ban generals on every board >>> more people with not any insightful shit fuck off to someplace else

merge the porn/gayfag shit boards into 2 bigger straight/gay boards (I'd say just remove the gay shit all together though)

after 6 to 12 months re-allow happening threads on /k/ as well as off topic threads on Cred Forums and Cred Forums, range ban politics

also do not trust the idiots saying ''hurr we will not leave!!!'', they'll leave

2nd

delete Cred Forums and some of the hentai boards

>browsing /s/
>an OP posts a pic and asks for more like it
>see porn site comment type posts thinking op is the girl

I thought people were smarter than this

I don't know, man. I know that when 420chan did fund drives, folks on the hentai boards would donate the most. It wouldn't surprise me if more people who post on the porn boards on here have Cred Forums passes than those who post on other boards.

a, b, v, sp, co, x, tv, int.

"Essential" boards, imo. Thoughts? Any other boards that are necessary? Not sure about containment boards like mlp or vp.

> delete Cred Forums

Hello Shillary

>constantly ask for wrestling threads to be moved to Cred Forums
>moot creates /asp/ instead
what did he mean by this?

whos going to advertise on Cred Forums

they'll leave if you keep banning them

jannies do it for free anyway

we're more savvy internet users so we're (A) more likely to block ads, and (B) less gullible and less likely to be persuaded by ads

Hello r/thedonald

Anyone saying delete Cred Forums is a retard, they are already discussing which board they will "take over" if it does get deleted - keep it as the containment board

ah alright fair enough.

that Hiro thread suggests otherwise.

>containment board
there's that term again

/o/

Isn't x dead? Anyway, you're missing pol.

They'll probably go back to Cred Forums

Don't really need an archive desu

Even Reddit and tumblr allow porn. Would anyone really miss those boards?

Anyone suggesting removing smaller boards is missing the point. They make no difference to traffic.

Honestly I'm all for more pass integration. I'd pay more than I pay right now. This is the only site I use anyway.

Moot would do another multiple stages of cuckolding and sit back to watch. The site needs a shakeup, taking captcha off Cred Forums and inviting the whole site in again would do that nicely. Of course they would try and shit up the rest of it, but that happens already. Look at the way they brigaded the Euros. Every thread was literally 'lol niggers'.

Even /new/ was never as bad as Cred Forums is now, they are 90% redditor trump 15 year olds. The old Cred Forums of actual argument and good happening threads is gone.

discussed? you mean fumbled about thinking they're human?

So what if they threaten to spam boards? You know you can range people? Furthermore phone posting took a massive hit with the new algorithm

the only way to deal with Cred Forums is to delete Cred Forums fuck off to reddit, cripplechan, youtubecomments, anywhere but Cred Forums
delete Cred Forums and /news/ too

yes
*autosages*

They always say that. The so called 'sampson option' turned out to be fail invasions and getting slapped around by ponies.

>massive amount of trash with no insightful posts move on to a different chan
You haven't been here long, have you?

Do you remember 2011 when /new/ and /r9k/ were deleted? All those shitposters just moved to other boards. Cred Forums was pretty much killed that year; 90% of the first page would be non-vidya, either posts about feels or how blacks are the problem.

FUCK OFF WITH THESE FLAGS

I DON'T CARE WHO THEY'RE AGAINST

Romania, why has a board hurt your feelings so badly?

I think anime is pathetic and childish and weird but I don't ragepost about it

>as you can see I'm an adult, I'm #withher

and nothing has changed

fuck time melts away

>Romania
>Gypsi country
>calling anyone subhuman

Ahahaha

delete pol

If Hillary wins, we shut down Cred Forums. Simple.

I've been lurking since late 2007 even with my ISP banned you silly twat

giving in to Cred Forums leaks was the first mistake, they can still fix it by just removing it already and constantly banning those retards

also Cred Forums still has Cred Forums leaks, problem with Cred Forums was banning off topic in the first place
it hasn't I just want this place to be good again desu, and fyi Cred Forums used to be good before the reddit invasion
>muh hiding behind flags

you as an individual are a worthless roach

I could see hiroshimoot deleting int for bandwidth. It's a fairly large board that consists of a first page of mostly generals filled with the equivalent of "having a wank lads" posted until the bump limit.

If hiroshima is too scared to remove Cred Forums, then he should make it pass-only.

>it's a 3 or 4 butthurt turds are obsessed with /pol and fill a thread with 75 posts a piece

It's like I'm on Cred Forums

delete /gif/

If Hillary wins, you shut down everything.

Actually, very much has change. Cred Forums is nowhere near as bad as it was five years ago when it comes to off-topic threads.
>problem with Cred Forums was banning off topic in the first place
Uhh, what? Off-topic banning is good. Cred Forums is a video game board.

Isn't the goal of a website to get ghigh traffic? Why the fuck would you delete boards woth higher traffic. If it's gotten to that point you might as well end or sell the site

Preacher tripfag is here to advise us of the truth, listen to him.

>Uhh, what? Off-topic banning is good. Cred Forums is a video game board.

But Cred Forums had great off topic, mostly before tortanic though

romania talks a lot of sense tbqh

High traffic only works when you have idiot users that don't use Adblock.

if you have high traffic and zero revenue, it becomes difficult to pay for the high traffic.

Honestly they need to monetize the porn somehow. Make the porn boards a default stop for fappers and get some meaningful porn ads there and boom problem solved.

Every board has great off-topic. On a board about a specific topic, people are likely to be passionate about that topic. Off-topic threads are nice because people are less passionate about that topic and able to accept different opinions.

That doesn't mean the threads should be allowed, however. And they also open up the floodgates for /r9k/ posts and Cred Forums posts if those boards get deleted again.

Make Cred Forums peer 2 peer lol

Nobody on Cred Forums goes to that shit board that is Cred Forums that board is probably one of the boards that need removed the most. Its all a bunch of hipster fags sucking shitty rappers dicks there.

Your country is shit, meaning you have 0 decent individual, Gypsi.

It really is hard to advertise anything other than piss bottles and chicken tendies to the Cred Forums user base.

Cred Forums has to go

he's made much better points than you tbf lad

That's the goal because of advertisers but name one with any real money that wants to be associated with this shithole.

does jewro think he's tricking anyone? does he actually think anyone believes his bullshit? He knew what he was buying. Everyone knew.

Merge Cred Forums and /asp/

I know, I know, it's gonna mess up Cred Forums but guys, we can't loose it all

Delete this shitty board t b h

Now why would Cred Forums be removed since it is one of the most frequently visited board. If anything Cred Forums will merge with /asp/ again

that's an old image, Cred Forums is shit now yes, but what isn't?

idgi why hasn't Hiro deleted Cred Forums? Cred Forums hates chinks.

Truth is...

you're angry at Cred Forums for some odd reason. I mean did you go into Cred Forums and try to troll then with your assbackwards logic and get BTFO'd?

but Cred Forums is reddit central though.
>muh censorship this
>waaaaaah stoping being racist that.

don't allow foreigners problem solved

I wouldn't take Cred Forums for free.

Cred Forums didn't even exist when Cred Forums had good off topic desu

And the board hasn't improved a single bit since they started removing it, just console wars and shitting on games waiting for the next tortanic to happen
you can keep hiding behind your flag all you want wont change that you are a subhuman

Merge /his/ and /lit/ back together.

Well I am doing my part to save Cred Forums.

Here's the thing: That's Cred Forums. You want it to be a better board, but re-introducing off-topic is not going to make it better; that will make it even worse. At that point, you may as well re-introduce dubz so that any video game thread that does get made gets spammed with dubz.

this

because hiroshima complained about high traffic and the website leaking money, do you all miss the point or what?
>71633826
>but Cred Forums is reddit central though.

doesn't mean it always was, also nobody gave a shit about racism before Cred Forums btw, calling shit jewish and using the word nigger was common

>t. Ioannis Doupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupodoupolous

Ban anyone who gets dubs

This shitty website ruined a lot of my potential as a writer with its intolerance to paragraphs of more than two sentences, and made me lose a huge amount of valuable time in which I could've been learning. Let it fucking rot for all I care

Sell it back to moot desu.

>the red asscheeks of Romania and his britcuck sidekick

P-pls delete, my feels are hurt

Literally "delet this"

He's a google drone now.

>Cred Forums limiting the number of shitty writers on the internet

We could go to congress for funding

1. they were never together
2. tweaking boards with little-to-no traffic doesn't address anything.

it's...it's like you hate fun

Maybe if the janitors paid to do it..

you're right I guess, I'm just nostalgic, but off topic really was good back before tortanic ;_;

they could at least moderate it decently though
fucked up the second quote, meant for the trippyextreme argument, point is the website has too much traffic and Cred Forums brings in too much useless traffic, deal w/ it

History and humanities subjects were discussed on /lit/, but yeah maybe.

>extreme argument, point is the website has too much traffic and Cred Forums brings in too much useless traffic, deal w/ it

You come from Romania, meaning your IQ must be quite low.

>"delet this"

Yeah sorry about your triggered feels you dirty faggot

We need Donal to make Cred Forums great ahain

t. triggered Cred Forums subhuman

lower the bump limit
get rid of the archive

t.triggered Gypsi subhuman

That was happening long before Hiro. Hotpockets were already well on their way to killing this board before he took over

When moot created pol again there was a sticky that said something along the lines of "if this becomes stormfront it's gone". Well it never left and now the whole site is stormfront.

The week moot raped Cred Forums was some of the best entertainment this site ever saw. Fuck deleting it, just remove captcha again.

Ban all the first worlders.

I'd too much traffic is the problem for a website then you fucked up somewhere. Besides that I thought moot made it clear that owning Cred Forums isn't a profitable endeavor

how is the traffic on pol more 'useless' than anything else on this site? if anything b is even more useless and has more traffic

bring back power rankings on sp. problem solved.

t. Irrelevant Cred Forumsartan

How long has it been since Cred Forums was GOAT? Mars rover landing? This place has been a shell of itself since board culture was banned and post cool down became 1 minute.

Kill yourself reddit.
Go back

We are not talking about you here. I won prizes before entering this shithole, and now I find everything I write too meaningless even though it's leagues better than what I see daily from other authors

Ban all the shrimpdicked crybabbies that are obsessed with another separate board on an Indian call center forum

>P-pls delet this

pay denbts

i wont mourn its loss
ill celebrate its life

because pol actively lowers the attractiveness of Cred Forums to advertisers. but deleting it will do nothing at this point. Cred Forums's image is never "coming back".

moot was a limpdick faggot even before his canvas idea failed
if it makes you feel any better I agree on Cred Forums being deleted as well, both useless shit boards bringing in useless reddit traffic
desu I browse /k/ on a regular basis besides Cred Forums, only decent boards here

Make Cred Forums a redirect to reddit

leafy makes a good point

Give estupefacientes

Please don't post images. You're bankrupting chinamoot

Cred Forums never had a good image. Before Cred Forums was even thought of Cred Forums was raiding and ddosing places

>lowering traffic as a "solution"
4chin deserves to die if it can't even support its own traffic.

yes i was there. my point is that it's current image is a neo-nazi haven because of Pepe/pol

>he takes his reddit-tier frog board very seriously

ban .png

>caring about image from normies
Fuck off tourist.

doing the world a favour then

ill post images as large as i want

if i could be bothered

Has Cred Forums ever NOT been in financial trouble?

delete every board except Cred Forums Cred Forumsand /lit/

rename "Cred Forums" to "sptvandlit.org

your welcome

>it's current image is a neo-nazi haven

*its current image according to redditors

PLS DELET POL

literally every time with you goddamn crybabbies

How badly are your feelings hurt?

i dont think this site has ever been atttrative to advertisers

if 'reddit' and 'useless traffic' justify deleting a board then all the site's relevant boards would be gone

get rid of porn boards + enable donations

the conversation is about adverts. do your best to follow.

Nukemoot should sell meme merch instead of letting randoms become millionaires off of our dank Maynard.
