What makes you think these trips were never here?
A lot of trips just drop and post as anon these days. Seriously.

I was kind of hoping we could get some clearer rules established and some dramabait threads deleted when Moot showed up, but Spoony isn't the most charismatic person when she's upset and pissed him off so
>he basically TL;DR'd us about the new rules and told us to deal with them because he thought all of us only wanted the drama threads back

While I don't doubt some people drop trip to shitpost, it is so easy to just point fingers at them and say, "This board sucks because tripfags."

If you look at some dramathreads, it is usually a few specific anons antagonizing the trips out of the blue to stir shit up. To me, that is more destructive to the board than all the trips circlejerking in one thread. At least they keep their shit to themselves.

I wasn't upset, but I sure as hell wasn't going to start sucking his dick after what the way he behaved on /q/. It worked though, I managed to lure him here, even if he did pussy out after a few posts and lock the thread, though it's to be expected really. The guy can't stand not having the last word.

The moderation wouldn't even be a big deal full stop if it weren't for the fact that a fair share of channers are now actually customers in receipt of a product. And anybody who honestly believes that moot is paying for server maintenance out of his own pocket are seriously fucking blind and that's saying that in the nicest way possible.

Before the 4chan passes were set up J-list were paying him to advertise on what you're not considering is currently the largest Western orientated image-based messaging board online, and even then you're not taking into account that he also accepts donations which I can imagine would amount to a pretty penny. Think of all the money that is going to be made over the Christmas period now that passes are available, there will most definitely be people handing them out to online friends as Christmas presents. Mod and janitorial positions are 100% voluntary, so it's not like he ever has to pay a staff wage. Moot is absolutely rolling in it and I think it's hilarious that ANY of you actually believe he is some poor, old vagrant huddling in in a shed by a wood fire, collecting cans to pay for 4chans upkeep as a single tear rolls down his hollowed cheek.

>I could spend the money on hookers and blow but so long as the site stays up twelve months from the purchase date and you get your CAPTCHA-free posting, I've fulfilled my contract with you. That's all there is to it.

I think that says enough about how much money he's making off of this, which isn't even the issue. He's impossible to communicate with because the second you say something he doesn't like he'll start beating his fists and lock the thread.

Moot seriously doesn't profit for shit off of the amount of ads on this site. You obviously have no idea how much money it takes to run multiple dedicated servers to host the amount of people that are on this site frequently.

>>6480885
Why does it matter if he's making money off 4chan? AFAIK he doesn't use it for anything than to keep the site running.
In any case, I'm willing to wait until we get a decent mod/janitor. Yeah, losing a couple good threads to their zeal is unfortunate, but so long as we point out that mistakes are being made it'll get fixed.

I get it that the extra asskissing isn't necessary at all, but I thought that the point of the thread was to see if we could get moot to level with us about it. If you fight fire with fire, then nothing's going to get done. You basically ended up representing /cgl/ as negatively as possible for attempting to call moot out when it's his site.

I'm pretty sure seagulls here can lightly enjoy a dose of drama here and there, but it went from a collective thread to you mucking up and playing postergirl for /cgl/, and moot isn't going to fucking listen to you of all people.

tl;dr keep your fucking mouth shut next time.

I bet the only reason your fat fucking ass is even amd is because you can no longer make shitposting threads about how life sucks for you and how /cgl/ is full of mean bitches who dont let you shine. Youre not relevant to the board and never were.
You originally camwhored on /b/, then people got enough of your ugly slag face and you hoped /r9k/ would want your fat fucking ass, then they stopped responding and you moved to /fa/ and tried /fit/ but they laughed your ugly manitee DYEL ass off and here you are, on /cgl/.

You have a very active imagination considering you got burned pretty hard.

I don't think you know a single thing about server costs, bandwidth, colocation, etc. Got a background in tech that you haven't mentioned?

And neither you nor I knows how much money is actually being made off of J-list ads.

>I think it's hilarious that ANY of you actually believe he is some poor, old vagrant huddling in in a shed by a wood fire, collecting cans to pay for 4chans upkeep as a single tear rolls down his hollowed cheek.
Wow. Strawman much?

Funny how despite all this shit-talking you will continue to patronize 4chan and give him loadsemone from all those J-list ad hits. A contract with an online Japanese redistributor is enough to be rolling in it right?

>I think that says enough about how much money he's making off of this
That says nothing about how much money is being made off of passes. You are seeing what you want to see.

I'm the anon that contacted moot on AIM and made the "j-fashion?" thread that lead to the eventual sticky. I just read the thread from yesterday, and it's truly ironic how we had people trying to defend why drama threads should stay in the same thread that (apparently) several people lapped at petty heresay drama about Moot like thirsty dogs. What a special glimpse into "/cgl/ culture" he got.

In the handful of times I've spoken to him, he has been polite and he really does seem to have 4chan's best interest in mind (and he did not ask me any personal questions and or tits by the way). If it wasn't for his personal intervention, we would still have the shitty nazi mod and a bunch of off-topic spam threads. Now we have a cleaner board with a broader variety of things to discuss. I will miss the drama and I would be okay with a single drama general thread, but if we had to go back to the way it was before for drama I wouldn't do it. We will have blips like having circle lens threads deleted, but if we continue to give civil input about issues like that then they'll eventually be resolved.

>>6480885
lol

>> No.6480964

honestly the only annoying threads from pre-steroid janitor days were by /jp/ and /r9k/

as long as RL contact info isn't being posted, and the postee is board-relevant, i don't see why we shouldn't have dramu threads

case in point: brolitajenny. shit is interesting as fuck, but under the new rules technically shouldn't be allowed?

it's honestly quite disheartening for me to witness this change in moderation, since i come to 4chan to read and participate in activities which would usually be totally out of the question IRL or on a non-anonymous website. while /cgl/ isn't the only board i frequent, it is definitely one of my favorites that has come to grow on me. not that my opinion matters or anything, but i can't help but feel disappointed by the direction in which it is being taken.

How others feel about moot has nothing to do with the fact you are a dumb slag. He has his faults and may be incompetent at getting /cgl/ proper janitors, but at least his ass doesnt belong to an aquarium.
You have no brains and no idea how to manage a business, if moot makes money so fucking what?
>if i cant have nice things, no one can
As long as he finally gets us decent mods i dont give a fuck what he does with the money, if he flies all the way to thailand for tranny hookers I DONT GIVE A FUCK. How he uses money, people are willing and unconditionally ready to pay for a product he delivered, is none of my or your business.
Ever thought about finally just leaving 4chan since you hate the owner so much, dont worry. No one will miss you.

My biggest thing is just that I'm really not interested in this board without the drama.

How can anyone even be sure he's making money?

I used to run a decently trafficked member-based website (no, not porn) and the costs for the colocation + bandwidth, backup location and a half-dozen servers was not cheap. For a website of 4chan's size and traffic, I'd estimate somewhere in the low-mid five figures of $20 one-year passes would need to be sold. That's also assuming maintenance and stuff is done for free and by salaried employees.

>> No.6481050

I'm not mad he's making money, I was just responding to the people who tried to argue with me by saying "Well how about you try running a website out of your own pocket and maintaining it entirely alone".

4chan is a great website and moot deserves to make a lot of money off of it, but now he's actually peddling a product I believe he should take more care in how he treats his users.
