/biz/ - Business & Finance

bu-but /biz/ is my favorite board.. the kneepads, the frogposters, the shilling.. its a magical place.. it musnt die!

>>1540212
All men must die.

>>1540212
>>1540232
We gotta do something /biz/bros. We have to unite. I really dislike /lit/ especially those guys that are like "hurr durr, money is immoral"

These faggots will all be buying ethereum before the month is out i guarantee it

>>1540173
Time to donate shekels

>>1540316
Kek, are you thinking we're gonna convince guys from other boards to buy shitcoins?

>>1540327
unlikely, but with /biz/ levels of shilling, anything can happen haha

this is preposterou /biz/ is my home...

>>1540327
They wont be "other boards" any more, and anyway if we make them cry using ethereum /biz/ will get it's own board again in no time so it's a win win

>>1540338
The only thing i'm afraid which is most defiantly going to happen is that we lose our /biz/ness culture. /lit/ guys have no idea what business creation is and certainly have no idea what it is to be an entrepreneur.

>>1540357
>>1540348
unfortunately, there are likely only 20 /biz/ regulars, so we wont have much of an impact.. but im down for spreading our shill antics to other boards

>>1540364
Yeah true. I mostly hang out on the discord and have met great people in this board. Such a shame. Where will the kneepads go?

>>1540364
I'll do it fucking single handed if thats what it takes.

Ive got 6 devices at my home each wih multiple browsers and a dynamic IP none of their gay little bans can touch me

All these memes. All these people. Foxguy, kneepads, the people in the discord, just to name a few. The good moments and the bad moments (the crashes). Now all blended under /aca/.
I really hope this doesn't go through.

I propose we start using a handle once the boards merge. Here, I'll do it right now. I now represent this board. Sounds good? The mission is to make /biz/ live on, should it cease to exist.

>>1540449
Micro or Macro? What college?

What boards should be deleted?

DON"T TOUCH MY PONY HIROSHIMA NAGASAKI REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>1540173
literally the worst thing that could happen is the consolidation of boards.

4chan has so much traffic it's exceeded Moot's original philosophy of keeping boards vague and all encompassing, there's too many normies on 4chan now for that philosophy to be effective.

Just look at /tv/... only a third of the posts are actually about film and television, it's basically /hr/2.0 with frogposting, trolling, and industry speculation.

No one actually watches TV or movies on that board. it should really be subdivided three ways because it's three different communities smooshed together.

>>1540405
>Foxguy, kneepads

That's half the reason I come here just there.

Honestly I wouldn't miss /biz/ it's like crack, I keep coming here even though I know there's never going to be a good thread - foxguy excepted, and the /biz/lit threads are always too sparse on details and full of Kioysaki posting and Tony Robbins tier shit.

I can live without it.

But I think consolidation of boards will lead to just worse shit, I mean look at slow boards like /p/ -- constructive discussions, people actually know what their talking about, people even show their fucking faces in that board.

But because there's one thing that unifies every poster there it works, even though, or perhaps BECAUSE it is slow.

Having said all that, 4chan has to do what it has too do - it's a victim of it's own success, being torn from within.

>>1540173
this is a bait image just fyi, its not what Hiro suggested

4chan should just be deleted desu.

>>1541813
4chan being deleted would be like an appendix exploding. Can you imagine the filth and disease that would infect the entire Internet?

Would be pretty damn sweet.

Does anybody know discord/slack groups with the /biz theme?

>>1540173
Why don't they combine v and vg

>>1541817
I would just move to bodybuilding.com

>>1541791

How dare you? /biz/ is life. It's great. As I said, the people I have met on the discord are great fun and it's always good to find people with the same views as you.
>I can live without it.
So can you live without any high technology. That's not a very good argument. /biz/ is good, and so are a lot of things. I believe we should strive to keep good things around and that's what I want to do with our board.


Btw on an unrelated note, our board needs janitors so we can have stickys and stuff and the thing is, there is no janitor. This needs to change.

>>1542446
Totally agreed to everything.

This board should stay opened, it's one of the only boards I'm actually writing to. I received legit good advices (inb4 buy crypto) multiple times and it'd suck to lose the small but great community we built over time here.

I don't get why someone would buy 4chan without a good solid plan of making revenue. Instead he puts the blame on the community by "informing us prior doing anything". It's just like "hey I'll close the website unless you throw me money". It's a hypocritical way of begging for cash. He just has to ask straight and IMO he'll get plenty enough donations to keep the website going for years.

This is why I don't use adblock.
Also, could we purchase some 4chan passes? Just to delay the inevitable.

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Everything I love is ending.

>>1542446
Yeah dude I'm new to this board but fuck do I love it. Do you have the discord link?

Also guys, yesterday, Notch trolled the internet by saying he would buy 4chan, and then started deleting his tweets after mad 4chan users started threatening him for trolling the 4chan community.

There ya go. I usually hang around there on fridays at 11PM GMT.

>>1542611
That would be the ideal. But it's like the "vegetarian" meme. The vegetarians say " If we all stop eating meat, animals stop dying, so I'm going to do that." Thing is, the rest of the world keeps eating meat (not supporting the site), and it ends up not doing anything. It is a sad world.

>>1542541
Exactly, this situation is totally not well planned out. Also, there isn't many places I know on the internet where you can talk about Entrepreneurship/Investing/Bizness AND get free memes included. Also yeah, finding people that think alike is great.

We don't post because you all are retarded.

>getting rid of /mlp/
It's like no one actually realizes the consequences of getting rid of a containment board.

I know it's been 6 years but come the fuck on guys

>>1543457
This

To be fair, probably easier for hiroshimoot to just ban all MLP posters

>>1540173
OMG NOT ADULT GIF. PORNHUB GOT TAKEN GOT TAKEN OVER BY BRAZZERS AND AMATEURS. OMFG HOW....WHUT...HOW DO I LIVE. No give pony their own board, that shit, I don't want to see it when I surf porn. If biz get merged, well, I always joked we will see some crazy shit on pol like lit or a donald trump thread since r9k and pol settled in and torched the natives, this is going to be like sjw-ization of tumblr. Never full go retard, this is a bit further.

>>1543534
crazy shit on /biz*

>>1540173
I doubt it.

It won't make any difference to the server cost assuming the same level of use (it will drop dramatically though, so maybe this is what slanteyes is after?)

8ch migration soon

>>1544043
Fuck no.
That site went down the fucking shitter.

I could maybe make a site myself or help moderate a new chan if anyone would like to do that. Maybe another chan has some site we can migrate to.
God save us all.

Oh fug..

PLS keep the pony board. We dont need their shit spilling into other threads.

>>1543457
>>1544202
Ponies were being spammed because it was a meme to spam them.
Now it's been half a decade and /co/ still isn't allowed to talk about a fucking cartoon because /v/ hates it.

Moot prime learned these lessons the hard way.
You can't ever beat the cancer, its only placed in permanently in remission.
Letting loose the spergs, the ponys, the gays, the "feminine penis" lovers, the dead inside, the guro's, the sheer totality of porn, it looks like anHero will have to learn the hard way.

Is it just me or have half the dev team just vanished from the website? Any word from Signal on what is going on?

>>1543566
most of the hosting costs of a site like this is the amount of traffic in images. reducing the number of boards proportionally reduces the number of images being accessed

>>1544531
so 1 million images 2 million times or 500k 4million times it matters not

>>1544531
One board with 4 times the people compared to 4 single boards is still the same. Why doesnt he just reduce image sizes or something if images are the problem?

>>1540173
Is this real?

>>1540173
>no more gif
>no more biz
>asp fags gonna flood sp again
>no more pokemon
Wow. Sad day

>>1540173
I would be happy to create the new chan if someone can show me how to do it. I have the time and the money and the ability to learn, just not the abilities yet. Any idea of where to learn?

P-please don't fuck up this board.. i barely got to experience all this in the first place ;_;

t. newfag

>trump wins
>4chan dies

Was it worth it?

Where did hiroshima even claim he was doing this, i dont see any mention of that shitty chart in that thread

>>1541791
I feel you, look at /ck/ 4 out of 10 posts are burger king shilling and asking people if they like garbage junk food like five guys, nobody actually cooks there.

Wait, hold up, this motherfucker wants to get rid of fucking /o/?

>>1540173
/aca/

Okay, fucking no. I don't want to meme chip ovens and kneepads while sharing the same board with fucking /lit/

>>1540173

THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT

Bullshit aside, would you donate to save this place. Not everyone likes 4chan but for those who do, how much money would throw at it to save it?

>>1544713

I'd pitch in to save /biiz/, but the rest of the site can rot for all I care.

>>1544713
About three fiddy

>putting marxists and stock traders on the same board

for what purpose?

how come /tg/ gets to keep their board?

>>1544719
I'm from /lit/. We aren't all campus socialists.

I just like literature and have an interest in finance.

>>1544640
its just a hypothetical an anon on /qa/ made after Hiroshima Nagasaki said he would have to find a way to restructure 4chan to stop hemorrhaging money, something like this happening is unlikely

>>1544757
has hiro actually posted proof that the site isn't profitable?

>>1544411
Looks like I'm not the only one with both threads open.

>>1544720
>We aren't all campus socialists.
Kek, sure thing marx, money is immoral amairite

>>1544664
4chan is not open source. Creating something like this from scratch would be a pain, and also, it would be hard to get a user base. If we have few people here, imagine if we were in a unknown shitty website. It would be a very boring desert.

>>1544606
Thing is, with the merge, a lot of people would stop using 4chan and the user base would drop. I think that's their plan, while giving the excuse that everything will still be hunky dory.

>>1544974
>>1544664
There's already an open source imageboard software: lynxchan

>>1544974
Nigger at least watch David Harvey's lectures

Let's reorganize there if shtf

>>1540173
> /e/, /d/, /h/, all mixed together

lol the nerds will be screaming about the dickgirl spam.

> /hm/ and /lgbt/ merged with /adv/

one and the same. hahaha

>>1544719
The OP clearly has some biases, for example /vg/ could be merged into /v/ too, if you're getting rid of everyone else's alt boards.

Only a chink would buy a website being sold because it is bleeding mo ey without a plan to have it stop bleeding money.

>>1545764
Didn't make the image, don't blame me.
>>1545188
Kek, who doesn't love marx amairite /biz/? Fuck making money and getting an above average life. In a communist society, everyone gets average. Thing is the standards start being so low, that you end up living just like a person below average would in a capitalist society. That and I love that feeling when I make some money. Call me a jew.

>/biz/ being merged with /lit/

please hiro no

>>1544974
>Kek, sure thing marx, money is immoral amairite

Very spooky post anon

>>1546269
Spooky? How come?

Its a good thing that all these boards get merged. History fags can help a shit ton on stocks as well as science nerds with TA.

Lit is useless.

>>1546273
morality is a spook, there is no such thing

Would it be possible to get a /biz/ board on lainchain? I know they're mostly tech, but they also have /lit/, /civ/, and /cult/, so they might be open to the idea.

I personally haven't had any problems with the site, it's just slow because of the tiny amount of users

>>1546542
Just checked lainchain out, what a fucking sad place. We want our board to have cool users, not aspies.

alexa top 60 website engineer here. this merging doesnt make sense. this is not how you "save money". caching and cdn configurations is. believe me i do 3 times the traffic this place does. ive calculated server cost, probably around 2k (you only need about 4 or 5 for this place believe it or not), a few million uniques means nothing. what he should do is fragment cache the thread previews and rebuild pages with that. use redis. and cap images on all the boards that dont need hi res to 500k (with todays image tools you can still do a tom with that)
