theres no reason for there to be so many boards in such a slow website. heres my proposal
/music/, /tech/ and /draw/ all join /hobby/, which now becomes a general board for art, programming and other hobbies
/games/ and /anime/ either merge with each other or with /siberia/ for a single comfy off topic board where you can talk about vidya, anime or whatever you want. just transfer all the generals to here
/labor/ becomes one single general on /siberia/ or /leftypol/, idk. i dont see why we need an entire board to discuss wageslaving
/latam/, /lgbt/ and /edu/ are active enough and have their own reasons to be separate boards so theyre fine where they are
what do you think
Overboard already serves the function
Yes, literally anything is better than what we have, personally I think we should just have a mono-board with cyclical generals at least until pph gets higher.
also this should go in meta but mods never listen to any complaints there anyways so it probably doesn't matter
>>41414i mean im not posting on meta because i just want to see what people think, this isnt an actual suggestion to the mods. also i think one single board would be a bad idea. post quality differs a lot from siberia to the main board
>>41413yea but most our boards are dead so its not working
>>41412I disagree with everything you just wrote. We should just rename /anime/ to /kino/ for all types of movies / series / animations.
/lgbt/ should be merged back into /siberia/. /latam/ should be nuked.
been saying this since forever:
make a /media/ board for games, anime, music, TV etc. (/lit/ stuff could go in /edu/)
/tech/ stays
/hobby/ gets axed and become generals in /siberia/
create a /b/ board for braindead shitposting and nsfw. No a femboy getting his ass gaped is not "off-topic"
/labor/, /latam/, /lgbt/, /AKM/, /draw/ can stay
add a /gulag/ board and move deleted threads there for polack reeducation efforts
rename the site siberia dot org and purge all the other boards, also kill the current mods and make me site owner instead thanks
BOOMP
Overboard already merges everything
what the fuck is wrong with having slow boards? just let them be. jesus.
>>41417>/hobby/ gets axed and become generals in /siberia/Pre-split i would have supported this, but siberia has a much more distinct board culture now and enough activity so /hobby/-adjacent threads usually slide down pretty fast. Merge /hobby/ and /labor/ into a lounge type board instead.
maybe have reserved slots on the overboard for small boards, so siberia and leftypol doesnt make them disappear?
Anything to get more people in /edu/ actually reading books. I think a /lit/ board that would take up the /lit/ general, the /write/ general/, the /fanfic/ general, and all of EDU would be a good idea.
if you were going to merge boards it'd make more sense to do it like this
/hobby/ absorbs:
>/music/
>/draw/
>/games/
>/anime/
/edu/ aborbs
>/tech/
>/lgbt/
>/labor/
/latam/ absorbs
>/leftypol/
>/siberia/
>/meta/
>>41413This. I literally don't understand what the logic of the argument is for having fewer boards. "So they update more often, all else equal". What's so great about that? If you are horny for frequent updates, use the overboard since nothing updates as often as the overboard. If you like using a catalog, the overboard has a catalog, too. So…
Brooomp
>>41414>I think we should just have a mono-board with cyclical generals at least until pph gets higher.this, so much this
>>43428Overboard is one of the goodest thing on this site
>>43368>individualism will fix the board diaspora! Systems determine individual use. The split of boards ostracizes topics inherently. The medium is the message. It’s like those “leftist” discords that make new channels for discussions of “problematic” topics. The excuse is that it provides a place for particular discussion. In execution, it kills the conversation of that topic. People go where other people are. People will hang out on boards where people are posting. People will not hang out on boards where it takes 5 months for a reply.
I wish /labor/ will be removed,it just doesn't make sense to me.
Bump
Bump
>>43368I've had a thread or two that was getting traction on /siberia/ moved to the "appropriate" hobby board for that topic, at which point it immediately died. That's one problem: the other problem is that boards are still being added long after it was clear that without a plan or a real community asking for them or anything like that, they will go nowhere.
26 people, tops, used /lgbt/ and in the last
week and only 5 used /labor/.
even if no boards are deleted, the lesson has to be learned that no new boards should be created unless there's a
real plan to make a success of them: another site shutting down, a community that's been exiled, a topic that's so massively popular that it's flooding /leftypol/ or /siberia/, etc. you could even consider something really out there, like socdem flag's proposal of allowing autonomous admin/moderation of the existing dead boards, empowering someone to try to make a success of them without being distracted by keeping /leftypol/ itself running. but for the love of god, don't add more boards on a whim. at the current rate by 2040 the top bar will have picked up /woodworking/ and /birdwatching/ and /midcenturyaustrianliberalism/ boards which are visited precisely once, by an admin, to verify that they've been created correctly.
plus this
>>43438 I see your post about there being too many boards and to that I raise you another dead board.
/music/ and /draw/ are good on their own
Shoving everything into /hobby/ sounds abysmal because certain interests will obviously outweigh other niche ones, there's a reason why /v/ is one of the fastest boards on 4cuck and was on 8chan
