what could possibly go wrong?

>>81
I had already decided that the owners of 8chan boards would be able to claim ownership of the equivalent endchan boards, if they were able to prove control of a given endchan account by posting a screencap of their account page with their Board Owner capcode on 8chan and making me (or another admin) aware of that post. SnakeDude agreed, so I'm assuming there's no problem with it. (Special exception for BOs who have earned the ire of their entire board like Mark; they don't get to claim their equivalent boards.) So if he makes them now they'll just get transferred away when the 8chan board owners show up to claim the boards they own.

>>86
Awesome.
I have been trying to create my board /meadhall/ but I keep getting internal service error when trying to log in.

>>90
What error are you getting?

>>86
>Mark wouldn't get control over /v/ and desecrate it
Alright if enough people stick around here it looks like I will too. That's all I needed to know.

>>86
>I had already decided that the owners of 8chan boards would be able to claim ownership of the equivalent endchan boards
I don't think this is a good idea. Sure, if some faggot is claiming every board and turning them to shit you should get rid of them, but I don't think you should just get rid of legit board owners because the board owner of 8chan wants to jump ship. They didn't get here in time to claim it, too bad for them.

Hotwheels didn't reserve boards for 4chan mods/janitors who jumped ship, why should you do the same here? Seems stupid to me.

>>131
4chan only had global mods who were all pretty much shit.

>>136
My point is, the admins shouldn't be 'reserving' boards for board owners that didn't want to jump ship until it was too late and their board was no longer available.

I don't want boards to be a clone of 8chan boards. I would rather boards build up new communities with new board owners (if new board owners got the board) instead.

>>86

It's too late for them. This should be a first come first serve type of rule. Besides, it's not *their* board by default, they were just the lucky ones who first came to 8chan and started their own board, well, now we get the chance to do the exact same thing. If they didn't get here first it's too bad for them. Why should they get the ability to obtain ownership of a board on a seperate website? I know this site is trying to imporve on 8chan, but it's time for a new start.

If someone fucks up bad along the way, fine, but don't give up when we've hardly even started out. Let the original board claimers please stay.

Besides, those board owners on 8chan are having their boards moved, so they get their own boards on Infinity Next. Why would they need the same boards on Endchan?

They decided to stick with Hotwheels and they are going down with his burning ship. Don't let them get away scot-free and go back to making shitty decisions just because at some point they decide "Oh maybe this wasn't such a good idea emigrating to infinity, lol time to move to endchan and get all the users back under my control"

Don't let them reclaim the boards. It was the future they chose, let them suffer the consequences. Please listen to us.

>>161

Good luck getting any board that doesn't actually hate their mods to move.

Just because Mark was a fag doesn't mean we all have to take another damn gamble when some of us have founds mods that actually give half a shit and are competent.

>>86
If you do that, there's a good chance of endchan actually taking off and replacing 8ch. You'd have the full support of all 8ch BOs in that situation.

>>86
If you do that you'll pretty much guarantee that endchan replaces 8ch, you'd have the full support of all the BOs.

>>161

Good luck getting anyone that doesn't hate their mods to move
We took a gamble before, why would we do it again?

>>86

>>161 is on point. Please reconsider, Balrog.

Let us start fresh.

>>161
Not everyone on the site cares about meta, when the complete switch happens and they still stay then they deserve it.

>>174
>>161
Also, if someone has shown to be decent at running their board why shouldn't they get the opportunity of running one here instead of taking a complete gamble with someone who might be another Mark? Why drive away decent people? >>164

>>163
>>164

Why the hell should we be bending over backwards to appease board owners? Are you forgetting they are people that just chanced upon the position?
Unless the owners are very competent and for some reason have a close connection with the users then the users likely wouldn't give a shit anyway.

Since when do you see users crying about missing their board owner if they move? They sooner cry about missing the board name. You can't going to see anons giving shits about their BO unless they are exemplary or total shit.

And even if they are great owners, if they take too long to jump ship then they shouldn't get anything. (Unless the owner for the board here sucks)

Also if you're going to do this without trouble the only right way would be to consult the user base of the board on endchan before switching control.

It would truly be complete bullshit without doing that.
Still shit though.

>>178
Agreed. And besides, this site gives people the freedom to create their own boards, correct? If the board owners on 8chan want to move here then let them start their own boards rather than giving the board over to the original Endchan claimer.

That way, anons will move to whichever board has the best board owner. It only makes sense, right?

>>178
8ch's community has already been through the wringer, with bad BO after bad BO being cycled. The situation moderation-wise (with maybe the exception of Mark) is now more-or-less stable. The last thing anyone wants is to go through that bullshit again. The current 8ch BOs are all people who at the very least have proven they're not out to destroy their boards for fun, which from a user perspective is a much safer bet than >>>/bane/6

Also, don't underestimate the politics of the situation, you really do want the old BOs on your side under these circumstances, or they may well revolt and send their boards somewhere else.

>>178
A good owner might be competent because he's quiet and the users don't notice him doing his job.

>>180
>consult the user base
>when there are barely any users

Why do you so badly want this? The worse 8chan moderators were the ones on the IRC circlejerk, just because they're still a BO on 8chan doesn't mean they're evil.

>>181
>what was /vvv/
>what was /svidya/
People migrate to the board names they know and the board owners will shit on alternatives.

>>182
see >>181

The BOs from 8chan would have the ability to steer a lot of users where they want right? Considering they can still just make their own boards there is nothing to stop them from making their own and populating it. If the users really are more comfortable with that BO then they will follow.

There is no need to kick an existing endchan BO from their spot simply to give an 8chan BO the same board name.

If you're arguing that users will follow the BO then they will follow the BO, not a name.

>>183
>People migrate to the board names they know and the board owners will shit on alternatives.

If you think that then why argue for changing the board owner if that is the last thing people consider?

If you think they'll follow the BO, then they will follow the BO to a new board.

If you think they only care about the name, then changing the BO is redundant since they obviously don't care about them enough if they will roll again to go for a specifically named board.

>>183

Also small or not a userbase should be respected before encroaching.

>>188
Both are factors. Different anons care more about one or the other.

If you want a guaranteed, clean transition you need to maintain both.

>>191
I think the problem is that most anons see the board already on the first page and assume that's the be-all end-all of whatever the topic that board is and therefore don't look for alternatives.

Also what these anons said:
>>189
>>180
The community's voice must ALWAYS come first. Power to the people.

>>191

Yet I just explained how changing the BO is redundant in both cases. If some care about the BO they will follow them to a new board. If they care about the name they will go to the board with the name regardless of who owns it, and if they hate it later they will move back to the other BO.

The only thing changing the BO does is to suck the dick of the BO only. What good is that? To ensure he comes over and brings those who follow the BO?
But he already has the board where he is. If he's moving then it's because he is fed up with 8chan. If he only cared about having the right name so much then he would say at 8chan. If he would move then he would have no problem making a new board with an alternate name, otherwise he would have nothing.

Similarly with the users, do you think that almost no one will move because they want to stay with the BO? They will consider moving, like the BO is, because the place is seeing trouble. No matter what, as trouble comes to 8chan you will see a decent amount of migrants as long as endchan is good.

Jerking off 8chan BOs is pointless

>>194
This.

>>86
I think it would be better to let the BO come here and create their own board, if the users want to come with them then they have the option to. If they don't they can leave.
Also, is there some kind of limit on how long a board with no activity can last before it gets deleted? 8chan has alot of abandoned boards, could that happen here?

>>86
>I had already decided that the owners of 8chan boards would be able to claim ownership of the equivalent endchan boards

Why are you allowing the cancer to migrate and metastasize here? You might as well just delete everything and pull the server at this rate.
