ok. after 5 years, 4chan's /b/ has turned from shit into a complete and utterly disgusting pile of bullshit.
anybody else thinking the same thing? in b4 everybody thinks of that.
also, what if moot switches to either Wakaba or Kusaba?

the quality hasn't changed, only the quantity has.

getting rid of stickies and other faggotry like that might make it a little better, but it won't solve 4chan's biggest problems.

I agree, /b/s quality do not change with time, it's just quantity and people groing out of diapers.
Changing software won't change anything.
>also, what if moot switches to either Wakaba or Kusaba?
After putting so much time and effort into modding the fuck out of Futaba, I highly dubt he will switch to anything else.

True, you can still find some very interesting discussion on /b/ if you lurk enough. I'd say that the amount of shit has increased dramatically, but the amount of good content has not kept up with the increase, so its proportion has decreased.
I mostly lurk /g/ now, it's more relevant to my interests.

I've heard this several times, never going to happen but if it did he would probably tweak it anyways.

Sure. I agree, the quality hasn't decreased it just is pushed off by the posting ending in, LOL I luv a gurl wat should eye du bee? XD, count to x, and other fail threads that mostly fill up the board.
When something interesting actually does happen, it's by a stroke of luck that most of the sensible people are lurking at the same time and work towards contributing, rather than shitting all over the place as per the usual these days.
Also, I hate the people who complain of "cancer" all the time. Posting sage, gore, and (If they're persistent) cp. It just shits things up, and doesn't even make it any better. This "cancer" unfortuntaly plagues every corner of the Internet, and is the fundamental problem of every newsgroup, forum, imageboard, wiki, ect.
The only solution that presents itself is moderation, and judging by Moot's recent news posts, He seems to want to bring some actual moderation to the table. 4chan is a massive site and He only has so many mods on the site at any given time and it's led to shit, but it's not His fault at all, all He does is provide a way to use the site, the users are what make the board, and the site what it is.
tl;dr It's not Moot's fault it's most of the users.
>also, what if moot switches to either Wakaba or Kusaba?
Why? 4chan has a heavily modified proprietary script they call "Yotsuba" that is based off of futallaby. It took years of modifying, tweaking, and testing to get it to where it is today, changing software as stated earlier in this thread, won't do anything.
>getting rid of stickies and other faggotry like that might make it a little better, but it won't solve 4chan's biggest problems.
Agreed. Although I think stickies can be a good thing under certain circumstances and used temporarily, like when Moot announced that He was going to ban every crap thread He saw on /b/ and if people didn't read it and continued the shit, they got banned, and rightfully so.
It's going to require some real good thinking outside the box to pull /b/ out of the gutter of stupid and make it somewhat respectable again.
tl;dr It's a problem with a solution that won't happen overnight.
