Sadly few people use frames now or know where the text boards are. I say we put links to text boards on the front page, or no new people will use our text boards and they will wither away.

You can set a filter to show them but I do wish they would promote text boards more. People attracted to the text boards probably wouldn't stay anyway if their main interest was a board like /b/

Not having /lounge/ on the front page could help to lower the newfag population here, but it seems to be reducing the total number of visits here and posts. Or maybe its just because without all the newfags its a lot quieter in here.

I think it's mainly this, I like the slowness of /lounge/ compared to /b/. /b/ is just full of newfags trying to be funny by posting old copypasta reposts, /lounge/ has real people.

I love how you can post in a thread here in /lounge/, leave for a few hours, come and its still there to be discussed and read the rest of the comments. You can't do that on /b/ or most other imageboards. :\
Although I would also enjoy having a few more users in this place.. but not the cancer.
I wish Moot would make it so the textboards showed up automatically when visiting the homepage. But instead you have to check the "Show textboards" option in order to view them. -_____-;
I even wonder if mods/admins even visit the textboards.

A few more people lurking around wouldn't be a bad thing. Not too many more, though. More mod recognition would be great. Ban idiots, promote the boards.

Also, I think newfags wouldn't want to stay here anyway since there aren't pretty pictures to give them something to mindlessly look at. They'd have to use their brains to conduct proper discussion.

I think all they are need to do here is start using user accounts so that everyone has to use a name so people know who is who and who they are talking with. It would make this place a lot better and people can keep track of who is posting the most good materiel and can find people that like the same stuff as them and just talk to them. This 'rule' about being anonymous is dumb and its an old way of doing the forums so its time to start using names and accounts on this site.

>>9 Registration keeps out good posters. Imagine someone with an involving job related to your forum comes across it. This person is an expert in her field, and therefore would be a great source of knowledge for your forum; but if a registration, complete with e-mail and password, is necessary before posting, she might just give up on posting and do something more important. People with lives will tend to ignore forums with a registration process. Registration lets in bad posters. On the other hand, people with no lives will thrive on your forum. Children and Internet addicts tend to have free time to go register an account and check their e-mail for the confirmation message. They will generally make your forum a waste of bandwidth. Registration attracts trolls. If someone is interested in destroying a forum, a registration process only adds to the excitement of a challenge. One might argue that a lack of registration will just let "anyone" post, but in reality anyone can post on old-type forum software; registration is merely a useless hassle. Quoting a 4channeler:
"Trolls are not out to protect their own reputation. They seek to destroy other peoples' "reputation" ... Fora with only registered accounts are like a garden full of flowers of vanity a troll would just love to pick.
Anonymity counters vanity. On a forum where registration is required, or even where people give themselves names, a clique is developed of the elite users, and posts deal as much with who you are as what you are posting. On an anonymous forum, if you can't tell who posts what, logic will overrule vanity. As Hiroyuki, the administrator of 2ch, writes:
"If there is a user ID attached to a user, a discussion tends to become a criticizing game. On the other hand, under the anonymous system, even though your opinion/information is criticized, you don't know with whom to be upset. Also with a user ID, those who participate in the site for a long time tend to have authority, and it becomes difficult for a user to disagree with them. Under a perfectly anonymous system, you can say, "it's boring," if it is actually boring. All information is treated equally; only an accurate argument will work.

See this is the sort of thing that accounts would prevent - other people using your name just to impersonnate you and making fun of you. I am a member of a LOT of major internet forums and none of them are anonymous because there are to many users and they cause to many problems - just like what is starting to happen here. It won't be long before you're site admins here are forced to put account registration method in place. I think I should suggest it to them in case they haven't thought of it yet.

You see this abuse would surely stop if you made accounts because everyone would know who is saying the abusive stuff so nobody would have the balls to say it anymore. That way people here would be able to voice there opinions without having to worry about stupid nonsence posters just here to cause trouble. I think you will find the quality of posts here goes up because people will not be so rude and imature as they can easily be identifyed.

That way people here would be able to circle jerk there penis without having to worry about straight men to cause trouble.

No image links work, but the hidden boards are there.
Good thing this isn't an imageboard, otherwise breaking links might be a bad thing.

Why are all you people saying tripcode? What is that and what does it do? All I know is that to stop people saying stupid stuff while using another members name you need to issue accounts and then people can be accountable for what they say.

You put "#tripcode" (without quotes) after your name and people will know it's really you.
(Example: Fitzy#tripcode will look like Fitzy!s2iL8tYk9c or something else along those lines.)

Fitzy, I like this the way it is... 4chan is supposed to be an ANONYMOUS imageboard (and textboards), and I would like to keep it that way...
There are plenty of places with namefaggotry in them, and only the chans use the anonymous system, which I love, so I stay here...
People tend to say the truth of what's on their mind while anonymous.. their true faces. Which I love.. I want people to tell me the truth, whether is harsh or nice. THE TRUTH.
Even if it's the internet, if you have a name, you have a "reputation" to go along with it.. so you gotta be more careful about what you say. With everyone being anonymous, there is no names, no faces, nothing to worry about.. you say what's really on your mind.
If you don't appreciate that, I don't think the chans are for you..

I don't think you guys really understand how much better forums become when you use names and have a points system. People who contribute get higher scores so you know who is important to the site and who is just hanging around.

Fitzy please read post number >>11 again. Being forced to register accounts is a waste of everyone's time. Being anonymous counters vanity associated with having an identity. Being anonymous means that each post gets 100% unprejudiced examination; you will judge each post on the merit and not on the identity of the poster. Being pseudoanonymous will not stop trolls and stupid posts.

But if you can see the identity of the poster then you know what the content will be like so you know if you should bother reading it or if you should just flame him out and give him a low score instead and you dont have to read it all.
