Milo Yiannopoulos wants to buy 4Chan - Polidicks

Fp programming section should write an open source alternative to 4chan together in case 4chan is lost

[QUOTE=proboardslol;51176967]Fp programming section should write an open source alternative to 4chan together in case 4chan is lost[/QUOTE] Make it look modern

[QUOTE=proboardslol;51176967]Fp programming section should write an open source alternative to 4chan together in case 4chan is lost[/QUOTE] can i write the ban function so they're always permabans :^)

[QUOTE=Firetornado;51176944]4chan looks like it is from 1998 and is honestly just cancerous. I dont care.[/QUOTE] How does it in any way look like it's from 1998? What do you think a modern 4chan would look like?

[QUOTE=proboardslol;51176967]Fp programming section should write an open source alternative to 4chan together in case 4chan is lost[/QUOTE] There's already a few Open-Source alternatives floating around. Why reinvent the wheel when you can improve something that's almost good enough as-is? [editline]wait[/editline] The real dealbreaker is the ability to host it so it's stable, and moderation that doesn't suck in one or another way.

[QUOTE=greasemunky;51176899]Care to elaborate?[/QUOTE] His let's plays are clearly trash

Fuck off Milo.

[QUOTE=Firetornado;51176944]4chan looks like it is from 1998 and is honestly just cancerous. I dont care.[/QUOTE] The thing about 4chans layout though is that [I]it works[/I]. And it works so well for what it is.

this is a fun start to my morning

[QUOTE=greasemunky;51176899]Care to elaborate?[/QUOTE] [URL="http://somethingsensitive.com/index.php?board=2.0"]Why don't you ask these people?[/URL] No $10 needed.

[QUOTE=Domokun;51176658]I would probably stop lurking in 4chan if that happen, /pol/ is fucking cancer.[/QUOTE] hey man, don't insult cancer like that. [sp]how bad is milo anyway?[/sp]

Why get rid of /pol/? Think of all the LMAO pics we'd miss on. Everyone knows the kind of people who post on /pol/, but they're not dangerous to anyone. You guys act like deleting /pol/ would lower racism rates in the world. They'd just go somewhere else. Don't wanna see them? Just don't go there.

[QUOTE=CroGamer002;51177076]"SJW Watch 2016: The Left Eats Itself in an [B]Orouboros of Faggot Proportions[/B]" This makes no fucking sense.[/QUOTE] They're pissed off ex-goons. The only times they do make sense is when they're talking about how badly SA is run.

[QUOTE=Joshii;51177121]It's pointless to say to just not go to /pol/ when /pol/ culture infests other boards anyway.[/QUOTE] Then trying to delete it makes even less sense too.

Just give martin shkreli 4chan

Couple thoughts: 1. 4chans specialty boards like /g/ are great. /b/ and /pol/ are garbage but 2. I'm afraid that if 4chan went down that we'd lose /b/and /pol/ as containment areas for alt right shitposting and that they'd migrate to other, better areas of the internet, like here. Thank God for fp mods or this place might become an alt right cesspool

[QUOTE=Loadingue;51177125]Then trying to delete it makes even less sense too.[/QUOTE] That's why I'd say it should be split off from 4chan and handed to someone else and janitors/mods do their job better and keep clean the other boards from /pol/ related rubbish and I think it could be possible, just that it'd have to take place over a long period of time though before remaining /pol/ stuff eventually withers out. 4chan used to be known for what happens on /b/ but now that rarely, if ever, happens and now all you ever hear is what happens on /pol/. The only reason I'd want to see /pol/ still exist is to go and see the reaction if (hopefully) Trump loses.

:snip:

there were pictures of a stream he did where he was making up dumb strategy shit if he bought 4chan, like building up a meme market or some shit lol. he also somehow directly messaged hiro asking to buy 4chan

[QUOTE=Joshii;51176779]Hiroyuki has already said to Shkreli or however you spell it that the websites not for sale so don't expect Milo to get anywhere closer either. I just wish /pol/ would be rid of or split it off into its own website and sell it off to someone who cares cause it's awful when you can't talk about a game on /v/ who has a black character like Battlefield 1 without it derailing to "WE WUZ" posting that seriously needs to go.[/QUOTE] In fairness, this is one instance in which that reaction is justified. In a WWII setting the 'Harlem Hellfighters' would be acceptable, but in WWI the black regiments were only used for latrine digging and were VERY segregated from the white soldiers. They didn't see much action and no-one had even really heard of the 'Hellfighters' until the EA media machine starting shouting about them. That said, /pol/ is cancer and it annoys me that on /his/ /pol/tards constantly come in and disrupt every topic.

[QUOTE=TheBloodyNine;51177363]They already have. /pol/ failed to contain the alt-right a long time ago.[/QUOTE] Most of the obnoxious alt-righter around there have been banned.

What's with all the shitting on Milo. If what I've seen him talk about is accurate, all he'd do is make sure free speech is still a thing and just let the mods keep doing what they're doing to enforce local board rules. /pol/ is a containment board, there's nothing he could do other than delete /pol/ to make other boards like it.

[quote]I appreciate how fragile and precious the 4chan ecosystem is[/quote] I'm not even sure what to make of this

The current ones apparently are a bit banhappy when it comes to opinions.
