general discussion?

/b/ rep wrote:I propose a /risk/ board, aye or nay?

Although it is annoying, I'm not sure it warrants its own board

Ok yes that is reasonable

/risk/? Whats next? A /ratemydick/ or /spewmeaninglessmemes/ board?

Oh wait.

Also, board recruitment discussion thread:
https://4congress.forumotion.com/t8-board-recruitment-discussion

Daily /b/ thread is agreed on, but what time would the thread be, taking into account everyone's different time zones?
I'd suggest waiting until all reps are online and then creating the recruitment thread.

I would suggest during peak time on 4chan itself, but then that would just mean guys in other time zones have to be up for us. Maybe do it at the time that we got the reps earlier? Not sure when it was, but we can make a quick guess. Would also increase chances of getting reps from decent time zones.

Peak time is late afternoon for anyone in the Americas. I think the largest timezone difference is between /g/ (GMT + 12) and myself (GMT + 0), and we were both online last night for the creation of this forum. Around that time would be when to do it, in my opinion.

Alright, I'll go for it.

I am GMT + 1 and the same time as last night seems like a good time to be online.

I agree, we got a lot of support last night, making it around the same time is logical.

/vp/ Here. Aye for fur, since my board frequently has it.

/mlp/ approves.

Because of the fact /mlp/ is a worksafe board and it may not be able to be changed, anyone agree to have the board /r34/ and we can all post our r34 threads there, and then we can even have specific r34 for specific threads.

This can work for many people, not just /mlp/

I'm interested in this. Maybe we could just move fur threads over there instead, since they would technically work. /r34/ could be the /b/ of porn or something.

Seems like a good idea but moot has stated in the past he doesn't like making boards/containment boards. So it might be a bit hard to get him to make multiple boards.

I personally think a NSFW fetish board would be a catch-all for things like r-34 and the like, perhaps even encompassing furry porn. It'd really clean out other board's clutter, and I think it's a necessary addition that's long overdue.

I have decided that 4chan needs a history board, what do you all think?

/b/ rep wrote:I have decided that 4chan needs a history board, what do you all think?

It could be addressed and I am not against it however It might not generate enough traffic. I am speaking from the perspective of a board that was set up as a containment board itself (/k/ innawoods). Similar ideas I have heard on 4chan and from some users here are /cel/ or a celebrities board to remove some cancer from /tv/, and /phl/ or a philosophy board to contain up the circle jerks on /lit/. I would love a /prp/ /svl/ prep or survival boards but they would not generate enough traffic to justify their creation. The user base for 4chan is constantly changing with new users and the site will reflect this in time. I am not purposely trying to shoot down the idea, and in truth I like it, I am just thinking of traffic and revenue for the site.

I think we're in agreement on the creation of a fetish board, though. Either /fur/, or /r34/ or something along those lines, because weird porn is the only thing that remains consistent over time.
Well, weird porn and cancer.

An /r34/ could work for weird porn and fur porn.
They would just have specific threads like
"Weird porn thread?", "Clop thread" "furry thread anyone?"
Whatever can work, as long as it would be related to animated or related to a comic/cartoon/game.

Remember. Moot doesnt like making new boards. We should keep board suggeations to a minimum when approaching him. I think suggesting anymore than two will mean wed have to vote to get rid of one or two just to keep the balance.

My opinion would be to change /fur/ to /r34/ I like the idea of a "porn version of /b/". So aye to that. As for /game/ or /history/, my vote is nay, only in the interest of keeping board suggeations to a minimum. If my fellow congressmen insist on pushing forward, then in the interest of a higher chance of getting moot to listen, perhaps we should discuss which fringe/low traffic board these new ones should replace.

I vote /asp/. If we have a rep for that board then I apologize but that board is completely meaningless. Extremely low traffic, no definitive subculture, and it failed its original purpose, to give wrestling threads a true home. /sp/ is still plagued by wrestling threads to this day. Why even bother keeping it, then?

I'm with you on changing /fur/ to /r34/. But on the other hand, I took a look at /asp/ and it didn't look as bad as you said. It might be quite a bit slower than the normal boards, but it isn't as bad as /e/, which has threads that are literally years old still going.

I dont even know what /e/ is, so id be ok with getting rid of that board. On the grounds of fairness and a lack of understanding or knowledge, id have to abstain from that vote. Ive literally never been there and dont know what ecchi or however you spell it even means.

I looked it up, it's basically a term for manga porn.
