Veeky Forums RED ALERT THREAD

warosu.org/fa/thread/S11731097#p11732540

All of those except unraveled (never got into it so I can't speak for its quality) are pretty bad if you like Veeky Forums

Well, better let fa die than pol and make them to shit up every other board like a plague.

So, how would you fix this problem guys?
>lgbt (they can go to tumblr and nothing of value to anyone involved would be lost)
>soc (point of such a thing on anonymous imageboard?)
>mlp (again they have better places to discuss their autism)
>most of porn boards, leave gif (as many said there are much better palces for porn, gif is kind of handy though)
>pokemon (imo they can use vg)
>keep creative and interest boards since they are niche and most people would have no better palce to go to
>create /film/ and separate it from /tv/ (tv as it is is b-tier meme-spamming that is purely unwanted traffic)
>DON'T delete pol for the sake of other boards (at least give them their own containment place so they don't shit up other boards)

this goes in /qa/ des u

they should merge Veeky Forums and /mu/

delete everything but Veeky Forums, server costs solved

stop, don't spout stupid ideas.

Here is the objectively correct solution.
>delete all the porn boards besides /u/, because they actually discuss shit more than they wank
>delete /soc/
>delete /mlp/
>delete /vp/ and /vr/

problem solved.

You do realize that if you get rid of MLP, their cancer will just filter back to all the boards they originally came from

if pol got deleted they'd just take over /int/ or go to (many of them back to) reddit.

i imagine /b/ /pol/ /gif/ and /sp/ cost the site the most money.

not sure how much money they'd save by deleting slow boards like Veeky Forums.

>the only 2 boards i browse in one palce

sounds perfect to me

Veeky Forums is dead anyways

Yes, but those are also boards with most visitors. Along with v and vg and perhaps tv. Those are shitty boards, but deleting them is questionable way to deal with server problems. Also most of pol visitors are also from other boards, like with mlp this place at elast keeps them somewhat contained. Delete it and we will have /hitleryouthgeneral/ every day there. Reduce image size limit for most boards will solve huge chunk of the problem.

why would i care if mlptards shit up b and r9k? those boards are already complete shit.

This place ain't worth saving

DELETE SOC
DELETE SOC
DELETE SOC

>soon, the only place to get fashion advice will be reddit

reeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How useless can one man be

Well I mean, he's right. How the fuck is this site supposed to make money, really?

transparent wikipedia style funding

>when Veeky Forums gets deleted

First of all, we don't know if any boards are actually going to be deleted. That's only one of the various eventualities, as explained in the post.

Second of all, if any boards are to be deleted - we don't know if Veeky Forums is going to be one of them.

There's no real need to panic based off the information currently available to us.

Everyone knew that Veeky Forums makes no money. That retarded jap still bought it.

what is 4 x 2

pure autism

Happy 13th birthday Veeky Forums!

outside

I suspect most of you will go back to r9k

What do you think about new owner? Is he Veeky Forums?

There won't BE an r9k to go to.

I enjoyed my time together with you, Veeky Forums. My brother, my captain, my king.

making the default cooldown 5 minutes for non-pass users, and 1 minute for pass-users, would help. and it would improve the content of many boards.

>shekeli actually joining #Veeky Forums @ rizon

this might actually happen

>buy a pass

what, do i look like a money man, mister money man?

Why is Veeky Forums gonna be deleted?

This + merge /gif/ with /hc/ and introduce site-wide file size limits for gifs/webms

Wow, I didn't know /pol/ was that high. All the more reason to delete it. It only brings what's against the spirit of this site.

I also didn't think Veeky Forums was that high, either. It's right above /soc/.

Delete /b/ and /pol/

Both boards are huge storage sucks and are costly to maintain. Almost more importantly, they are also the primary (perhaps with the exclusion of /v/) boards that give Veeky Forums its horrendous public image, which in turn makes it an advertiser repellent.

Not only this but they are highly damaging to most other users on the website. "Hard motherfuckers" hear about the boards and their reputation for anti-PC freedom of speech, begin frequenting, mistake contrarianism and post-irony for genuine beliefs, learn terrible habits and behaviors, then spread to the rest of the website.

It could save Veeky Forums.

Yeah, delete their containment boards and they will spread out across the whole site even more. Also those two are probably most popular and most visited boards there, deleting them will make Veeky Forums loose shitton of visitors.

Well would you rather have fewer visitors (which means less required money for server space) or the deletion of boards doing nothing wrong?

There will be a massive flood of shitposting but we have moderators. All will move on in time, it would just be rough for a while

>they are also the primary (perhaps with the exclusion of /v/) boards that give Veeky Forums its horrendous public image, which in turn makes it an advertiser repellent.
>implying that's a bad thing
I would redirect you to a friendlier website but you are probably already a regular user there, they should just delete the porn boards to be honest

Less visitors also means less ad revenue.

>fewer visitors
/pol/ and /b/ easily make up 20-40% of visitors of this site. Those aren't "few". Asrightfully said less visitors means less possible advertisers, which equals to less money. Deleting these two boards will crush this site and create a shitposting we all haven't seen before.
Also be hurt by these biards as much as you will, but they ARE huge part if Veeky Forums culture. No reason to what this site down.

That care-tags userbase has really interesting fashion knowledge depth.

Move /mlp/ to

ded

"Containment" boards are a fucking myth. You want to get rid of people you fucking ban them. Giving them their own space where they can indulge their bullshit just makes them worse and attracts more of them, and then they spread to the whole site.
/pol/ was a mistake.

This. When previous iterations of /new/ (at the time, it was proto-/pol/ and home of stormfront) was deleted, those people went on to other sites.

Deleting a board will have some spillover, but it won't last. /pol/ wouldn't shitpost on other boards as much if they didn't have a homeboard to go back to.
