The technology exists to block anyone who has a cookie from a specific website, so that anyone who has posted on 4chan cannot also post here, for example. It is usually used when a smaller imageboard gets raided by another community.

Really? That's interesting

Of course that is easy to bypass but I'm sure that the tiktok zoomers on the sharty aren't intelligent enough

A recommendation and a few statements from an anon whose been there since 2007: don't advertise on 4chan and strive to build something unique here. Myself, including a small collection of IRL and online anons that I've accumulated over the years, who have undoubtedly spent far more time on that site than we ever had any right to, have collectively agreed that we're not jumping ship to another image board.

It's pretty clear at this point that other anons who were immediately recognizable have long since abandoned ship. Frenschan was arguably the best chance we had at finding refuge but that's long gone. The reason I'm posting this is that I want to save you all the trouble of importing what I like to call the "Novus Ordo"(New Order, unrelated to Catholocism) 4chan users.

The post election, post Covid crowd who have drug the bar so low, that I'm convinced that very bar has shifted between several yet to be observed states of matter from the pressure alone. 4chan was never great, but to watch the culture vanish and every post devolve into bot spam and a shit-flinging match of the same six insults repeated ad nauseam is... something.

Just let them lie in the mud and eat the shit that's thrown before them in the trough. They seem content with it.

4stats clearly shows that they're going somewhere else though. It's also been long hinted that 4chan pads itself with bots to make it look like they're bigger than they really are to win over advertising money.

But you might be right, even if the last true non-bit anons truly are sick of all the AIspam there maybe they're kinda trapped there. I expected the 'party to get like a million permanent users given how they ran the most hardcore altchan campaign ever. That never happened though.

I guess umigalaxy is tasked with creating a whole new culture out of thin air if it is to grow.

The sharty, to my experience (I'm not the anon you were replying to), was really active a few years back. If you hung out in the IRCs enough, there were clearly quite a few permanent users who weren't just namefags.

I think it really went to shit though because of how they started advertising on tiktok, and it reached normies and zoomers, which kind of ruined the whole vibe. The sharty wasn't great to begin with but it was never as bad as it is now.

>I guess umigalaxy is tasked with creating a whole new culture out of thin air if it is to grow.
That isn't really a task. You can't create a culture, it just forms as more users join. Hopefully this becomes a nice place like frenschan was.

>It's also been long hinted that 4chan pads itself with bots
For a little over a decade there's been rumors about bots being used to derail discussion on 4chan. After the whole AI takeoff, obviously it got way worse. I think some people were running their own bots on 4chan just for the fun of it, pretty sure some guy did on /pol/ once and it took up like 70% of the board's traffic.

I think it's pretty obvious, the site is just infested with LLMs and trolls.

I kinda like the idea of letting the website grow organically. When I started it I was worried about growth metrics and number of daily visitors, but now I realize that's mostly meaningless

why's there no test board? do i test here

>>2362
Probably, we're all here for a bazillion different reasons but the site is still growing.
