There are about 70x as many posts on r9k than there are on Wizchan. Do people on r9k simply not know about Wizchan? Are they too built into the habit of using 4chan to make the switch?
And its not how old a board is, either. 7chan has existed since 2006 (I'm pretty sure), and it's /b/ board has only 815,000 posts, while 4chan's /s4s/ board, which has only existed since 2013, and has amassed 10,000,000 posts.
How has 4chan, the most poorly moderated, poorly designed imageboard (except maybe endchan) held onto that many users?

>>297113I find the general trends of the website and how they change interesting. 4chan becoming militantly 'normie' now is kind of funny considering the 2010's was everyone pretending they weren't a 'disgusting normie'. Can't tell if the userbase changed or people just go along with everyone else.

>Can't tell if the userbase changed The userbase has changed and seems to have only surface-level memories gleaned from other sources. So you get this bizarre "recollection" that everything in 4chan was "ironic":

>>297558Part of it might just be increased awareness. I mean i used to think most posters on wizchan were actually virgins. Pre-2009 my high school was full of normals who used 4chan, the time of it being for outcasts must have been short if it ever existed at all

>>297559>Pre-2009 my high school was full of normals who used 4chan, That's some weird ass school you went to, I was literally the only person who knew about internet stuff along the lines of Maddox, SA, PoE, newgrounds, 4chan, internet drama, etc literally in 2015 I had co-workers talking about 4chan as if it was a secret hacker site.
>the time of it being for outcasts must have been short if it ever existed at all4chan never having archives and users being anon means the past can be rewritten at will, but at SA I know a lot of the users were losers/nerds/outcasts because of post history.

>>297257I agree. The 'normie' boards there have somewhat healthier people.
r9k and some of the more niche boards are full of the most mentally ill people on the planet.
As in the kind who will probably knife someone or shoot up a mall.
They also do things nobody would do on wizchan like posting selfies of their fat selves with their bright dyed hair

>>2964144chan is not poorly moderated at all, it has never been poorly moderated and its even more professional now even though it lost its soul a long time ago. You can't even post with a VPN unless you have a subscription, the 4chan gold account meme literally became reality.
Even though there's still a lot of edgy things on there and fringe stuff it is a rather normal website at this point, the only thing that still stands out is the /pol/ board because the rest of the internet censors the topics discussed on there to shit but other than that there's really nothing on 4chan that you wouldn't find anywhere else, even the degenracy is something you find anywhere on the internet now because normies are fucking retarded.

No one likes posting on dead boards.
There's a positive feedback loop in an active board where you can browse it constantly because there's no content being constantly posted, which leads to people making more posts which leads to more content which leads to more browsing.
Meanwhile on slower chans and boards you can go through the whole thing in an hour, and then you leave and maybe check back in in a week. Less content, less posts, less reason to browse. Negative feedback loop.

Sure there are some people like that here too but overall people here are more rational and less caught up in weak copes.Wizarchan is recommended for people that are too fucked up for 4chan (r9k). For extreme crabs and virgins. That is what they say on 4chan (r9k), at least that is how I came here with a guy posting something like that.

>>2979884chan is full of normie faggots, I remember when people would get raided the fuck out off them if they talked too much about /b/ outside of 4chan and over the last years we had all kinds of youtubers exploiting it without any consequences, even showing whole threads which would have been a big problem back in the days.
I remember a time when /b/ was able to shut down 9gag temporarily for exploiting the memes and when the whole board would organize raids against all these normie fags wjo tried to exploit the culture. The real 4chan experience ended rapidly after 2012 when the whole normie horde fucked the internet up completely. It's just an edgy place for normies now and porn addicts, like anything else on the internet. If we get the full internet censorship treatment it will still get shut down completely at some point.

>>298302Trap porn was on 4chan from the start, linetrap got spammed a lot later. Traps were such a part of 4chan culture people started writing blog posts asking if trans people being accepted on 4chan, but in a largely sexual context, was beneficial as one of the few places they were accepted or negative. Different vibes, it was funny when traps would show their dick at the end of the thread - not anger.
4chan was never meant to be serious, modern “real world” style political hate has to compete with the other boards that hold an older culture.
