>>1574You've seen 4chan /pol/, right? It's 75% spam. It's gone already
>>1575Yeah, I still don't understand why the mods didn't keep this board
They made a big mistake imo
>>1574I dunoo about that. I guess that depends on what kind of 4chan do you have in mind. Young 4chan with blackhats residing on /b/, CP posted from time to time but overall strong community? At leats thats what I heard about how it used to be in its beginings.
Or do you mean current 4chan? You'd have to try pretty hard to fuck up that much...
>>1576I think /pol/ boards are incredible and deletion of 4/pol/ would be an cathartic act.
But I don't think they plan to do that...
>>1576In my personal opinion the Mods are actively hostile towards the /pol/ board. You get banned after 20 minutes for posting a pony in a thread at 4AM, so it's not like it's unmoderated. Yet almost all of the threads are the kind of spam that could be produced by a bot. If there were any board on all of 4chan that needs rigorous thread deletion for quality, it's /pol/. But the mods leave spam and shit posts (even if they do delete obvious shill threads sometimes), so they must just not care. Newfags there are too stupid not to respond to bait and spam, so it clutters the catalog
All we need is one major event to piss off /pol/ and we will have lots of refugees. Unfortunately it seems that /pol/ is just slowly being pushed into oblivion. Hopefully another /pol/ harbor happens soon.
>>1577I was thinking about 4chan of old. It doesn't have to get big right away, but I predict that with enough advertising it'll get steadily popular
>>1579Yeah, I'm not having fun with /pol/ anymore, it's so boring now
(user was witnessed for this post) >>1574let's be honest, 4chan is doomed in general, mlpol however is a place of safety and love, where NatSoc and Libertarians come to mingle in peace with our MLP friends posting horse poon to keep out the normies, shills, etc.
4chan will devolve into a social network soon, mark my words
>>1581Well, you're more than welcome to stay here. True, the board is pretty slow, and the lack of GR15 means that sometimes the entire first page gets taken over by ponies for brief periods, but the OC is amazing, we do have good discussions, and spam is deleted within five minutes
>>1579>>1582Part of the reason /pol/ is dying is because of the mods and newfags. This board will live on because the mods are either from /mlp/ or /pol/ and both are used to being hated and ignored by the mods. So the mods here are actually good and try to keep shit from devolving into what our parent boards became.
Newfags won't last mostly because of the horse pussy but also because this board has a large amount of Nat socs. That is what kept normies off of /pol/ before but what killed /pol/ was lolbertrians being hostile towards the nat socs that were scaring off normies. I'd say that started around gg and has been accelerating ever since, where you now see threads on /pol/ where underage lolbertrians are actively hostile to us.
Needless to say I like this place a lot more and think its going to last. We just need a bit more traffic from true/pol/ diaspora and this place will be comfy as fuck.
>>1581btw the green text is just us bantzing at you, you're not banned <3
>>1580Yeah, another cuckening will do.
8ch already has their fair share of shitposts and shills.
We would probably be the first board they would go, or maybe another /pol/ board on 8ch.
This place just needs to not become a data mine or a side project to the people who run it
>>1591It's not I swear, our devs work tirelessly to ensure everything is secure and no info can be mined, we're working on a hashed IP system now that should be in place soon
as for it being a side project, well I made this place because I love it I remember /pol/ from the old days and what it's become now is an abomination, I'll never allow that to happen here, not tomorrow, not next month, not for a thousand years

>>1592I'm well aware of the steps taken by staff bb
I love this board; all it needs is a bit more activity, and it would be perfect.
>>1594That activity will only come if you're active
>>1574>how will 4chan recover?It's because 4chan will never recover that we're branching off.
>>1595I'll make an effort to post more. I work full time though, and I assume a lot of anons do also. The board could undoubtedly benefit from more contributers.
(USER WAS GIVEN A CUPKEK) >>1598Yep we're still a bit slow but give it some time and we'll hit the comfy stage where threads and moving along good.
>>1599The bad part about being a right-focused culture is most of us have gainful employment. Coupled with the amerocentric userbase means we still have dead hours. Fixing some of the privacy concerns (hashing IPs mainly) could drive traffic from countries where the content of the site is illegal
>>1601I'll burn the server to the ground before I allow it to be seized
>>1582Is there a way to advertise /mlpol/ on /pol/ without getting banned? This definitely needs the word to spread out
>>1603You and I both know there's no way to do that safely enough remotely. Be proactive, not reactive
>>1604we've been looking into it however talks with the mods on 4chan have resulted in simple replies somewhere along the line of "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA"
>>27037if you want proactive, there are only two ways onto the server, encryption keys that are held only by myself and the headdev
the server itself has a killswitch which requires only that I send a signal to it, in the event of any form of disconnection from the net the server automatically reboots and the server is encrypted so any attempt to break it would require all the compute power that the US gov has at it's disposal for the next decade

>>1606What if we include the website in our name? Would that get us banned?
>>1606I can't imagine they would ever agree to let us advertise.
>>1608You know, there was once a pony ad on /pol/ promoting /mlp/.
Maybe we could find a more subtle way to tell people about this place without brining in nu/pol/
>>1609Yeah, there has to be a way we can make it into a signature of sorts
This is how 4chan feels about mlpol
We've been working on making OC that hints the website and doesn't get banned, but we still need more. We have an expert shitposter and image maker who hopefully will help us with that when he can
>>1607Thus far we've only been banned for ponies
>>1606Why not just buy an ad? Not that complicated. Spamming posts advertising your own board has been against the rules on 4chan since the good old days of an- on talk.
Also holy crap your server is slow.
>>1614what do you mean? no one else has complained about it being slow
>>1614All 4chan ads require staff approval. Not gonna happen outside of /mlp/
>>1615It might just be my internet connection but it feels like loading images and threads is much slower here.
>>1617Oh that varies. Usually it's very qucik. It has frozen to a snail's pace before
>>1617I'm on mobile in a metal box right now and have no problem m8
>>1612Provide me shop ammo in the rebuilding thread and I'll make maor thar. Wish Wish made the dreadnought merger one. That ones great
>>1619Yes after browsing a bit more it does seem more hit and miss than consistently slow.
>>1622that actually might be due to our archiver, we've been trying o make the archive work but so far it's just made everything slow down ._.
