I hear words like 'quality' and 'shit' used to describe boards and chans. What are some criteria that you guys use to determine the quality of a board/chan?
The only truly objective standard you can really have for an imageboard are the feature set and stability. Something like endchan has interesting features because it's an infinity style board that allows users to create their own boards, but it's also incredibly unstable and buggy, even more so than pigchan was. Then you can take into account the fact that the guy running endchan uses and has a discord for the site, which is some next level bottom of the barrel normalfag shit. He also doesn't answer any emails and I believe just expects people to use the discord if they run into any issues.
Most people don't really care about any of this. Imageboards are simplistic enough that the only thing that really matters is popularity/PPH, and the content being posted. If the board is not nessarily shit because dead boards can lots of valuable information and posts, but they are obviously "shit" if your objective is active debate and conversation. Then on the other hand if a board is active to the point where glowniggers and e-celebs are name dropping it like with pigchan it becomes unusable because every other post is a psyop, bot, or a normalfag with nothing of value to contribute.
The age of imageboards has long since passed. There is no such thing as a truly good imageboard because the internet is just too popular. Gone are the days where the only people who post very actively on imageboards are losers who sit on the computer at home all day, since every sits on their portable "computers" on the train, in class, at work, anywhere.
Tor based imageboards like this one sit in an awkward state of comfy, rather than good or bad, quality or shit. Even with just a few dozen active posters the entire board can be destroyed because no one can be moderated or banned. There are likely less than 10 people posting here and yet the hapa poster ruins virtually every single thread with his spam.
All imageboards are shit. They simply don't work as they were intended in the age of dynamic IP's, Tor, mobile phones, and glowniggers.

What a fitting mentality for a member of the white race.
>There are likely less than 10 people posting here and yet the hapa poster ruins virtually every single thread with his spam.
U mad?
The moderation I can trust. The less it does, the better.
The audience that actually has conversations, and not just spout memes and paranoid delusions, or whatever else shill-like.
That's about it.
>>5272 These are some things you should look into when judging imageboards:
1. Organic discussion, defined as honest discussion about a topic without hidden motives, shills are the opposite of it.
2. Obscurity, one of the bigger problems as today is normalfags infiltration, the more a site is obscure the better.
3. Anonimity, without being anonymous it's difficult to have organic discussion, cause your opinions are gonna be attached to your identity and when somebody disagrees they are just gonna attack you personally instead of attacking(discussing) the opinion(yeah i know it's hypocryte for me to say this since i avatarfag).
4. Moderation, without it imageboards become public shitters, be careful to look for signs of censorship though.
To be honest there is not any other place than nanochan that meets my criteria which is pretty depressing, i mean nanochan is not perfect either we have some shills but it's the best i've found, being tor only it keeps normalfags away and it makes it more anonymous than anything clearnet can offer, moderation had its ups and downs i really never had many problems with it though. If you find anything else on nanochan level let me know?

Maybe you're right, imageboards are a relic of another era and we are the children of that era lost in time. I envy zoomers like asukafag sometime.
>>5274 Just make hapachan already you lazy hapa u.u
>>5277 >The presence or absence of CP. Quality boards have CP.
<The absence of CP. Glownigger honeypots have CP.
ftfy
>>5285 >Just make hapachan already
I think he'd much rather continue being a giant Jew and shit up this place than set up his own place which he'd then have to censor defend from anons evil whites posting attacking.
Chans are an inherently flawed form of communication. Just like how Reddit encourages circlejerking simply due to how it works, Chans encourage people to create posts that are controversial. Of course, constructive conversation can occur because of well-made threads. But, usually, it's some /pol/igger thread about how the jews are inferior to white people but control the entire world but only because white people are emotionally weak. This is because it's easier to make the /pol/ thread that gets cheap laughs and lots of responses.
Some people think that IRC or chatrooms are a superior form of communication and I would softly disagree; chats encourage people to spam for attention because only the most recent messages are shown. On the flipside, it can encourage people to participate because of the reputation and attention you can get by helping people (however, this can also lead to circlejerking).
