I am not sure what you are trying to say. Please clarify.

Since we have a couple of weeks of data and nearing the one month mark since the change by this point, we can see now that the board's activity is completely down for good and >>123579 was right about most of what he said although I disagree that the /biz/ on /bant/ is not going strong, /smg/ was one of the fastest general threads there and the stock market is always dynamic so I don't see it changing, it's going to continue existing. /bant/ itself though barely budged upwards, all that traffic /biz/ had is just lost completely forever. It may be a good thing since most of that was crypto after all, and they have refocused to post and advertise grassroots elsewhere. I think that the concerns about who was exactly lost may have been overblown in that case. But it isn't clear if that actually impacted Hiro's bottom line here. Given that he hasn't rolled it back immediately, he may not care at this point, and there is a real danger I would say he may be considering it on other boards.

>>124127
Hmm, looking at April /bant/ there it does seem to have reached the activity levels of say, January-February /biz/, with its hovering around 10k which is actually a fair big bigger than the last several months that were closer to 5k~7k, and it may be that the last couple days' decrease is just a regular fluctuation, but it is undeniable that /biz/ is turbomegadead by comparison. Still can't comment on the board's contents though, maybe that one /biz/raeli here can chime in once more.

Huh, I just noticed that /biz/ used to have the opposite cycle from /a/, with activity dropping over the weekend rather than rising.
Meanwhile, /s4s/ didn't seem to have a real weekend pattern at all, until /biz/ exploded.
I wonder if /s4s/ was just an amalgamation of other boards' random excess traffic and thus unable to express any real patterns. But then, its speed is way too consistent to be just a result of incidental activity bursts. So, I guess that means that the board has more NEETs than other boards.

>>124130
Makes sense since the stock market and other market activities are only open on weekdays. Only crypto is 24/7. But yeah, that is now affecting those boards for better or worse.

>>124076
NTA but maybe he's referring to using any sub you want? which is not the best idea bc the whole site is just ironic and unfunny, or at least 80 percent of plebbit is. if you're lucky to find a (very)smaller one then it's decent i guess(??) if you manage to weed out underage/stupid people on your own. still not good for general discussion though.
>>124132
wait /s4s/ is faster now?

>>124159
>NTA but maybe he's referring to using any sub you want?
How would that be a sensible response to somebody who rejects some key functionality of the site?
I didn't even say that I disliked any particular subreddit or community there.

>>124159
I took a look and no, for [s4s], the difference seems like it is margin of error but it is in one of its upcycles and it has more traffic than /biz/ now.

uh why is gnfos a turkish sports betting casino now

>>124215
Read up in the thread, dummy. Well, no one really has an answer since you know what everyone else does, I.E nothing: >>122595 >>124064

>>124216
Trevor sold it to a turkish gambling company after he got owned by an Elder Dragon on MHW while streaming and laughed at for it.

>>124216
Yeah it really is just this: >>124217

>>124217
that logic tracks, i also sell my property to turks when i lose in video games

I think he just set it up for sale, I remember it being vacant for a bit before the Turk showed up, but I may be remembering it wrong and I don't know how this stuff works.

shadow wilchan died today

>>124258
What was it and why did it die?

>>124259
An original tinyboard version of polish imageboard wilchan.org before they switched to custom software in 2019. It was almost 10 year old. Terminated because of possible vulnerabilities of tinyboard. Now redirects to main page.

>>124260
someone's brought it up, but they're always these hypothetical ideas that the tinyboard chain of imboards have issues, but no one exploits them. it's not a great software for many reasons, but security has been at it for a while, and just prevent any buffer overflows and the worst that they find is some sort of bug

the dall-E 3 thread on /v/ got moved to /b/

https://boards.4chan.org/b/thread/918259382#p918259382

>>124325
AI is kind of a reverse video game, where you give the computer a task and then evaluate its performance.

Maybe the thread belongs on /^/.

>>124326
nvm I thought they banned it because they got tired of it on /v/ but it seems like the mod didn't recognize tracer because the OP image was in a different style

https://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/58462489
The /biz/ idiot meido has realized that losing 80% of traffic was not great. You can now post without an email if you wait 15 minutes for the first time you post. Truthfully there was still spam threads and still bots in threads doing the same obvious bot posting. There was just way less activity.

Unfortunately I think a lot of the activity loss will be permanent. A lot of people moved on. On the 11th of May there was almost less than one thousand posts on the board the whole day.

>>124362
>1 minute ago
Ha-hayai.

>>124364
Credit goes to my friend who opened the catalog at the time it got posted then messaged it to me so fast that it still said 1 minute by the time I took the screenshot.
This happened exactly 30 days since >>123030. I wonder why they didn't cave sooner, or why they didn't just trial the 15 minute wait time in the beginning. There would probably be almost no backlash to waiting on posting from a new IP. They really messed up.

>>124363
That's true, but at least it's a cultural victory for anonimity in imageboards. Had this succeeded, who knows if it wouldn't have been expanded to other boards and adopted by other websites. At least it was a quick defeat for a retarded idea.

>>124365
still possible that the "caving" was planned and the intent was to get a benchmark of how much activity would be lost and what sort of users would actually verify emails

>>124375
With a company like facebook, I'd believe that instantly.
4chan doesn't have the knowhow to meaningfully evaluate the data, I'd reckon. But they might team up with somebody else. That's the sort of accusation that people have been raising against Hiro from the beginning, anyway.

>>124363
People may return because of the Gamestop short squeeze is back

>>124375
It doesn't make much sense though. /biz/ is one of the most expensive boards to advertise on because shitcoins have high competition.

>>124397
That's not a good thing. We want them to leave.

>>124397
It's already happening

>>124402
Dead cat bounce. Just kidding, but I love that /biz/ posting history looks like a dead shitcoin that finally got rugged.

>>124367
i don't see how this was a win. it was a pretty minor thing & i doubt they were going to expand it to other boards.
>>124375
it's plausible but
>>124377
can't they just check 4stats?
why wouldn't they monitor their site activity?

>>124408
>can't they just check 4stats?
They can do that, sure. And the archive too. But directly reading raw data does not give you the wealth of meta information that I thought >>124375 was referring to.

does anyone know who or what tea poster is?
they seem to post across many altchans

https://zzzchan.xyz/b/thread/184881.html

>>124440
Best guess: he's a smug loli

>>124440
No clue, doesn't seem to reply to anyone anywhere. Might as well be a bot.

Actually, it seems they made at least a few replies in that junku thread. Not just 5357, but also 5320 and 5169, 5166, then around 5459 more exchanges about the community over there and how "literally only us 3 know about [some other dude]." But I stopped reading around that point with how mindnumbingly boring and inconsequential it is, and I really can't tell if that's actually all just one guy or multiple people posting the same things, in any case it's the most teablogger replies I've seen yet.

>>123179
You guys are forgetting about what the Japanese anons tried to warn us of when Hiro took over. Mainly, that he's been caught selling user data multiple times to the highest bidder. We know multiple boards are run by the American Government and moderated by the American alphabets. We know they are analyzing all the metadata they collect from users on there everyday. We know they use bot swarms and paid posters to push agendas and it's obvious those bots/people are all pass users (or at least have the same access) because they're never banned and allowed to run rampant. They are what's killed one board after another. Heck most of the boards are just straight ads now disguised as threads.

I'm not saying you can't find one or two good threads and a few real good people there. I'm just saying it's a business run like any other social media website. They're studying the users every way possible. The embedded javascript probably tracks you mouse movements and everything. I know of a few "underground" websites/forums that do exactly what.

For the most part I don't post on 4chan at all anymore. Maybe once a month on /a/ to post an update about something I'm working on and try to get feedback.

Moot sold us out to Google. Hiro is just a face for who's really running things. I'm sure he's paid well to be that face and take the blame should anything really bad happen. Moderation is insufferable even on boards like /a/ now. Doesn't matter if you're civil or not. You say the wrong thing and you're going and I'm not talking about low effort /pol/ stuff either.

In fact, I would highly advise you use it as little as possible. I've noticed it has started setting even more cookies lately for no reason. One of these days I'll take a good look at the javascript that's basically required to lurk now.

>>124440
>>124442
he has replied to me twice, be nice.

>>124453
it seems im one of the few who dont mind his presence, im only curious not malicious.

The Frog Pond site which was spammed everywhere (including here) is down

>>124453
The usual reaction is that if you're going out of your way to blog about the most meaningless stuff and copypasting it across a couple dozen sites while hardly replying to anyone then that's either trolling or attention whoring, I think it makes sense for people to dislike it. Ate banana on an industrial scale. It's interesting that he put it up on /secret/, but even there it feels like the only objective is to take up space.
>>124477
Last time I checked they had a thread where one guy made a parody edit of the /qa/ train pic. It was rather interesting to see.

>>124454
he's like whatmin except his posts are maginally less inane

>>124479
ritualposting can be annoying depending on how eerie and botlike it is but I like some of the images he posts and he was nice >.<. I agree with you, overall.

don't mind the tea guy personally

>>124490
Notably, he's not ritualposting. He's keeping a tea-diary, with some humor (and multiple copies).

>>124509
A diary would have more information. He intentionally makes posts that are as banal as possible. It's shitposting any way you slice it.

>>124440
I think its a sane assumption to presume he's from /tea/. Tea? /jp/ shit? Blogging? All fit /tea/ to a T.

>>124545
seems so
