Last thread is on page 13, dead and ignored. The rule of thumb might have changed to page 14 a while back, but I can't recall.
This is going to be a doosey, as I have a lot of questions and grievances.
Why was the last technical issues thread deleted? If it was deleted because there were shitters using it as a regular meta, why not just delete and ban the shitters? If it was deleted because the primary issue of files being eaten was resolved, then wouldn't it have been better to lock the thread and leave an announcement in the OP about what the issue was and that it was resolved? I would strongly question the latter case as well, since there were clearly many more technical issues being discussed if on even merely skimmed the thread.
Secrecy and lack of communication. What exactly in this post Ron made about Odin needed to be kept a secret? https://archive.fo/7rxeZ#selection-30573.0-30575.2 Why couldn't this have been revealed months ago? As far as anyone knew up until this post, Odin seemed likely to have nothing to do with 8kun, and anons were rightfully angry with Ron prioritizing Odin over board migration and technical site issues. Then there's the general silence on migration and various other things. The lack of general or frequent communication from Ron has recently been attributed by him to horrible cramping in his hands that he believes is arthritis. This would be entirely understandable, if he had told everyone this months ago. As it is, revealing this so late will assuredly lead anons to suspect he's lying and made it up as an excuse post-facto. And those against 8kun will assuredly use it as another wedge to drive between site administration and users.
Board restriction. To the administration, I'm sure board restriction sounds fine on paper as a punishment for BOs who do naughty things. But it's not. You're not only punishing the BO, but the users of the board. Board restriction is objectively more destructive for a board than losing its board owner, and thus cannot be considered "a warning" to a board owner. /rand21/ is a perfect example of this. The board was restricted by ChrisHansen under questionable circumstance about a month ago. I don't think there's been a post on it in 3 weeks, when it was previously a very active board. As of yet, there's been no communication from either Ron or ChrisHansen as to whether the board will ever be unrestricted. This "warning" action that is supposed to precede harsher action, only upon further misbehavior, such as board deletion, blocking, or banning is effectively the same as deleting, blocking, or banning the board. It's dead and not likely ever coming back even if it was unrestricted.

Global rules and rule transparency. When the site returned there were several changes to the site FAQ. Among these was a change to the text just below the global rule, stating "In short, the 8kun administration does not tolerate images of real children and Global Volunteers will treat such content as either child pornography or a Dost violation.". On the surface this change would ban all real child images, even those that are completely innocuous, rather than the previous rule of banning only DOST violations and near DOST violations. After pressure from Mark and anons, Ron revealed the rule wasn't in line with the global guidelines on illegal content, which remained unchanged and still aligned with previous version of the rule. This satisfied many anons, but also creates a lack of transparency regarding the rules, and makes the site FAQ totally untrustworthy. The reason for this change was to deter near DOST violating pedoposters, something that was already banned under the previous rule. This, of course, does not work in the slightest. Genuine pedoposters do not care about the rules. Those that are not genuine, spam and bad actors, similarly don't care about the rules. In both logic and practice this change has failed to accomplish it's stated goal, with CP spam remaining on the catalog of /v/ for 7-8 hours the other day. Despite anons, including myself, pointing out the logic was faulty at the time, Ron has stated that he has no plans to revise or reverse the rule change on the FAQ.
Since this is a meta thread, I feel obligated to dedicate this last paragraph to calling Mark a nigger. I and others posted similar technical issues in the GG thread, prior to the creation of the technical issues thread. Mark accused us of lying to D&C the site, and even made the astounding logical conclusion that because we could post now and then, we were all lying about posting issues. https://archive.fo/j9kJ2#selection-39281.0-39281.1 I shouldn't need to point out why this is retarded, but I will anyways. If users are having issues with posts going through and can't post at all, then you'll hear no complaints of posting issues. If users are complaing of posting not going through at random, then they're posting and therefore obviously lying about it. Thus, it's impossible for there to ever be issues with posts going through. Flawless logic if I do say so myself. Shortly after this, since anons were experiencing files being dropped from posts, Mark made the technical issues thread. In it, I called him a retarded faggot for saying I was lying while posting video proof of my technical issues, something he himself demanded. He proceeded to delete my post and call me a nigger. I wasn't banned and pointed out this retardation, to which he told me to stop being a nigger. Mark, you're a fucking doublenigger, and you always will be.
Please let me post the second half of my post. before someone else posts.

Yes. Because there were multiple issues, some of which you considered more genuine than others. But if you read your own post you'd see you were clearly grouping all those with issues of entire posts not going through at random as the "20%" of anons complaining of issues you believed to be lying, including myself.

Don't be disingenuous. I agree that the new blanket classification of images is wrong, but let's be real here: for every one of those "why not both?" meme images or whatever with a kid in it, there are at least five or ten images of kids that are either blatantly sexualized or are posted in a sexual context. Whether it's intended to titillate or just make people uncomfortable as a joke is unimportant, because the intent doesn't change the fact that images like that are a liability to 8glow.

/v/ in particular desperately needed a cull of users, and we have had it. Whether it's good or bad for the overall site remains to be seen, but I have a hunch that Jim's advertising bottom line will be barely affected (you probably/should have an adblocker and VPN, but most Qfags don't know or care), and as far as a board is concerned the reduction of users is a good thing in my opinion. Enjoy the smaller, slower, comfier actual videogame discussion while we have it; the altchan shills, cuckchan rapefugees and spammers will be back before long.

Big change isn't gonna happen at once but it could start by bringing back /rand21/ or at least another random board at some capacity. On a random board you can talk about any topic you want and shitpost on the side, and with not many active boards on this site with variety of topics to talk about you need a random board to fill the void. The alternatives are cuckchan's /b/ which is filled with trap spam and moonchan which is literally owned by a tranny. If those are our competition and we're losing then that's fucking sad.

It's not hard to find whatsoever. Speaking of, something meta regarding Mark, Ron, Jim, and the Qboomers. The other day a Q "movement" leader going by NeonRevolt, who wrote a book about Q, straight out lied that he information about from codemonkey ina post on Gab. https://archive.fo/nunPu This was confirmed as a lie when Mark contacted Ron about it and said so in a GG thread. https://archive.fo/j9kJ2#selection-46309.16-46309.18 Shortly following that, in one of Jim's streams, Jim was reading from NeonRevolt's book about Q. I understand that Jim must appeal to the Qboomers because they're where the money to run the site is. But I do hope he's not genuinely a Qtard himself, and is informing his decisions about the site not only from a qtard, but from a prominent qtard who openly lied about something Ron said.

I don't like the current situation. The lack of communication, the unanswered questions, the boards that don't get restored, the general lack of faith in the administration that leads anons to calling this place "run by feds" or "glowing". I wish I could completely disagree with those anons, but I don't.
I wish we had that boom of greatness that happened during the great exodus. I wish 8chan/kun could be great again. There is nowhere else to migrate to for a good head of steam like we did during the 4chan days.

From the way I'm seeing things, it looks like there's tensions rising between Jim and Ron, where Jim wants to appeal to his Neocon friends and even becoming an e-celeb for the boomers and Qfags; meanwhile Ron sees it as a sham, wants nothing at all to do with it, and just trying to continue the site on where it was left off back in August. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some serious drama going on backstage.

Technically there's the webring, but nobody's really been willing to move over to those en masse so they're just as amass of bunkers (unless you're /a/ because they tried to turn their board here into a bunker and got it taken away from them and given to /animu/). But I understand what you mean. There isn't a convenient big alternative available like the Gamergate transition and nowhere near enough outrage to get people to stop being complacent and actually move somewhere, so we just gotta tough it out.

There is part of the problem. The only enforcement that is allowed on this site is deletion and "banning". Both are after the fact enforcements, meaning the damage is already done, and banning isn't really banning if they are posting again after a simple IP change. So realistically for all practical purposes, there is no enforcement to be had on this site. Having lots of clerks cleaning up in aisle 7 doesn't keep anons from deliberately smashing jars of spaghetti sauce all over the store.
>>16845968
> it could start by bringing back /rand21/ or at least another random board
No, that would be a BAD idea.
/b/ is the herpetic sore that started everything going downhill. Most of the /rand21/ assholes are now gone, and starting up a new random board would only bring them back along with the shit they are constantly flinging. Shit which would inevitably land here. Ron was handed a gift when the BO of /rand21/ shut the board down, and I think he realizes that at this point.
My 2 cents on Ron, migration, and the future of 8kun:
There is no reason for Ron to continue migration given what has been going on with the public boards so far. Migration is a huge pain in the ass, and if the return for it is going to be nothing but 10 anons in each board it simply isn't worth the effort. Far better for him to focus on the private /qresearch/ board and his other projects and just leave the public 8kun boards to do whatever they are going to do. Beyond keeping the site up and running, the public boards simply don't warrant attention, and he is probably justified in essentially ignoring them. Would it be nice if he told us that? Sure. But it wouldn't change anything.
Clearly /pnd/ is now on its way out. And with the entire gaming industry being in such a shit state lately interest in this board is going to wane as well. I used to spend several hours a day on here, now I only pop in every couple days to see if any interesting new threads are up. There rarely are. Most of the threads are anons arguing about the same things we have argued about for the last ten years. So I am not really all that hopeful for the future of this place simply because there does not appear to be any concrete reason to be. Every single indication is that it is simply a matter of time before anons just get tired of using a site that no longer gives them what they want.

Come on, man…quit trying to defend him. Arthritis does not prevent him from getting help. He has been over his head since day one. I don't know why he has refused to get help but know for a fact that help has been offered and turned down on many occasions over the last few years (not just by anons, but by legit software design companies) so I can only surmise that it is ego-related, though it could be simple paranoia at this point. But arthritis is no excuse. Fucking Stephen Hawking was coding for fuck's sake, and he was using his drool to do it.

You're talking just like the retarded tech illiterate old people in congress who blamed social media sites for not having the ability to see the future and premptively stop Tarrant's video from being posted for even a moment. You cannot stop someone from breaking a rule before you know they in particular are going to break it. Are you fucking retarded?

>Clearly /pnd/ is now on its way out. And with the entire gaming industry being in such a shit state lately interest in this board is going to wane as well. I used to spend several hours a day on here, now I only pop in every couple days to see if any interesting new threads are up. There rarely are. Most of the threads are anons arguing about the same things we have argued about for the last ten years. So I am not really all that hopeful for the future of this place simply because there does not appear to be any concrete reason to be. Every single indication is that it is simply a matter of time before anons just get tired of using a site that no longer gives them what they want.
Then that leaves one important question:
Why are you still here when you made it very clear that this place serves no further purpose?

In which case new, stricter rules will do absolutely fuck and all. The people posting that stuff will continue to post it regardless. You can't preemptively prevent someone from posting something that violates site rules or the law unless you simply make it impossible to upload any files at all or if you instituted an 8kun Gold Pass or an 8kun Trusted Uploader account or something like that, at which point the site would just be openly declaring itself to be dead.

You missed the point entirely. Enforcement COULD be done the same way it is done on every other forum site. Disallow proxy posting, and you have enforcement back. There isn't true anonymity here anyway, so why pretend there is if it means that we can keep out the anons who bring legal trouble to the site?
>>16846140
>Then that leaves one important question:

As I said, I don't frequent this place much anymore. So the answer is that most the time I am not here…same as the hundreds of other anons who used to post here. But as you can see, when I am here I do my best to contribute positively. If your question is any indication, you seem to be prone to post meme-shit.

Nope, Not a qfag. Far from it. And the rest of the site isn't dead weight, although I did suggest that Ron may see it that way. You guys really need to read more carefully.
>>16846251
This is true.
>>16846285
Disallowing proxy posting is not openly declaring the site is dead. Virtually every other forum-type board on the clear does it. Even 4chan does it, and they are far from dead even though they are shit-tier. The myth of anonymity needs to be overcome, and resistance to a reasonable measure of control over content must be accepted if this place is going to recover. It is a simple fact of human nature that without a reasonable level of enforced rules, you will end up with destructive chaos instead of enjoyable, albeit slightly limited, freedom. And dont' cry "Buh-but my anonymity!" because you don't have any. Not from Jim and Ron, not from the Feds. Even if you are using a VPN, and especially if you are using Tor.

Plus Hawking actually knew how to code well.
Look anons, if Ron was at all competent he would not have migrated DOST-violating imagery to 8kun. But he did. Totally nude photos of known underaged girls. You could call it an accident. Maybe he didn't even know they were there. Except that he has been told where they are, multiple times, beginning two days after the site came up. Yet they are still up today. (No, I am not going to tell you where. I told him, that should be enough.)
The only thing I can think of is that he either has no idea how to get them down without breaking the site entirely, or he has left them there on purpose. Either way it isn't good, because it means that either A) the site is going to get shut down again, or B) it is a honeypot and all data in and out is going straight to the FBI. If your VPN service is US based, they know who you are already. Same with TOR, as has been mentioned.
How does that affect /v/? Clearly it drives anons away. It erodes trust in Ron and the people who work with him (Mark). But even under the most generous of circumstances, it severely compromises the future of this site. There are far, FAR, bigger issues here than some gook wanker's hand cramps. So if you want to make excuses for him make them about something that actually matters.

The point of the DOST is that you don't have to know they're underaged, you can see it. Sounds like you're talking about some jailbait, which while still against the rules and illegal is not DOST breaking.
That's just pedantics, but still.
There's also cases like /soc/'s Velma from back in the day. Came out after the fact that she was jailbait, but she was spread so prevalently over the internet by that point that just about no one cared.

Look nigger, I don't need archives. Archives prove essentially nothing, especially on an anonymous imageboard. Your argument is just as moot as the feds' argument about shootings. You could have posted every single one of those posts "advertising 8kun" yourself.
Simple fact remains, no advertisement of any imageboard on another imageboard has ever worked. They probably aren't even intended to, they're just for causing drama to demoralise people into leaving imageboards permanently. This has been the only thing I've ever seen happen to people I knew who used to use imageboards, never them actually switching to another board.

It's not completely incorrect, at least. When a board goes to shit on 8ch, a good number of anons prefer to bitch about its shittiness rather than actually roll over to the next. It often took the BO going full retard or having a power trip to finally get shit done, and I'm pretty sure only /b2/ and kinda /animu/ are the success stories (/pol/ just bugged codemonkey until he told Kampfy to stop being stupid, and we all know how the roach reacted to that). From what I hear, /vg/ was apparently on the rise as well, but then kikeflare fucked the site over.
