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?

Because 80% of the time, the only reason people even bother to create a new imageboard variant is to post cunnyshit. 7chan had a literal CP board hidden for years. Even the national imageboards like Kohlchan are infested with pedos. wizchan is sorta the exception in that.

>>2964264chan moderation is completely wild. The rules change from board to board and even thread to thread with no way to know them. Say the wrong thing in a mod's pet thread and it's a 3 day ban you can't question. Say nigger on another SFW board and no one cares. It's totally inconsistent.
>>296426This is why I don't use altchans any more. Every one invites in pedophiles and actively protects them. Pedos gaslight others into thinking spamming lolicon is how you express free speech on a platform. But they just want to spam lolicon and talk to other pedophiles/convert anons into pedophiles like them. If you tell them to fuck off they spam "this is an anime image board!" and more and more lolicon.
I'm not sure if it's feds running the annoyance play book or actual pedos but it's irrelevant really. Either group I don't want to associate with so I don't.

Moderation is totally random and with no oversight at all. There's no way to argue against a ban because it's always upheld and there's no way to discuss the rules because the QnA board is locked from posting and any discussion outside of it is a ban offense.
4chan's moderation is literally worse than Reddit. At least on Reddit you can see who's in charge and what they're doing. On 4chan it's a blackbox of random bans.

I'm more than certain 4chan is half bots to give the illusion that there are more users than there actually are. /r9k/ has over 100 threads with less than 10-15 posts each and yet more threads are continually being posted. Nobody seems to talk to each other like they used to except on the handful of boards that still have an active userbase.

The bewildering shit quality and bizarre posting of those parts of 4chan can be explained by the fact that its userbase consists of cooked cunts.

Those boards are always to the point, and have higher quality posts. I can also stand slow boards, you just have to ignore the low quality normalfag posts. Many of 4chan's slower boards are better than similar boards on other imageboards. Also, 4chan is by no means even close to being the worst designed.

>>298323 already suggested, even the trannys themselves often directly capitalize on this straight coomer relationship. If they would detox their brains from porn then they wouldn't even wanna fap to trannys anymore and get a hardon from just looking at a succubi tits or some dumb bitch in yoga pants. They are fapping to this stuff because they are addicted to porn and not because they have LGBT rainbow feminist beliefs.
4chan is a big reason why a lot of straight millennial imageboard autists got into this weird relationship with tranny porn in the first place.

I had some of the best times of my life on the 4chan /b/ board back then, so many good threads and crazy shit that happened, sometimes I stayed up whole nights because so much stuff went down all the time.

However 4chan has become absolute fucking dogshit filled by zoomers and braindead people since 2015( i think). I only use /a/ out of habit and speed, but nowadays its just FOTM and shounen garbage

Having been a regular on 4 since 2006 on one board or another, I find that the age discrepancy between you and that of the average thread initiater and poster is the greatest reason for leaving either a board or the site. b will always have 12–14-year-olds, they'll mature, go to tv, a, co; then again, and find the hobby boards, then again, and leave.
Other than hob, I have little in common with people here. Sharing a culture (being of the same 'generation', however defined) or a 'community' allows for some overlap.
The less explicit reasons to be a poster or an OP, the less time you'll expend on that board or imageboard. Simple as. There's also the past 10–15 years' usage over time graphs (which you can conjure from anecdote alone) of smartphone ownership, smartphone usage, smartphone-over-computer usage; assume an internet connection with both.
No.302220
>>302219I kinda get what you mean, but still it feels weird saying is "normal" when things like facebook exist (maybe just nostalgia speaking)
Older generations being pushed out is something that I can relate to. Despite that it feels like the general population of imageboards is declining even on 4
>less reasons to be a poster, less timeFor me it used to be the opposite, because I'd have an extreme anxiety to post

>>302220Since the Cambridge Analytica incident and the fallout therefrom in late 2010s, Facebook has seen major decline in both registration and usage from existing accounts. But for some reason, people currently aged ~40–65 who had upgraded their phones, got to using social media, be it back-water regional or single country only ones like, failing ones, or what was most popular 15 years ago: facebook, appleshit like facetime.
Another statistic relevant to the conversation: back in the 90s and early 00s, there were a lost more websites registered. And over 80% of all traffic didn't flow to and from 5–6 companies. Was non-uniformly distributed but communities and sub-cultures exists, there were neighborhoods isolated and distinct from each other, now there's 5 relatively homogenous almost indistinguishable blobs collecting your data. With a lot of them playing with chink government.
Too much has changed since Jason Scott's (of textfiles.com) days. It won't, it can't go back; whatever's in store won't be the opposite of the current. A new dimension with be added, explored, I don't know. VR I can't see taking off, maybe 5-year-olds will really like that shit, but from the meetings I've seen in meta, I don't see anything appealing.
Best you can do is lead by example, try to talk to peopl about what you care about, show your passion and maybe somebody sharing in it will join you to talk.

I'd say politics has taken over the site, not leftism. For the first ten years, 4chan's reputation is what kept it safe. A ton of normies were kept at bay from the infamous 4chan, due to the lolicon, jailbait, and raiding. But after ~10 year mark, its reputation began to do the opposite, as the media branded it 'le right wing discussion site'. Many low intelligence right wingers came from Twitter and Reddit.

>>304152>reddit is associaed withThe single largest political center of gravitation that Reddit ever had was r/the_donald, a sub which represented the reddit community at large and as a whole but which was antagonistic towards reddit administrata and the whole apparatus of reddit internal governance. This was neither the first nor last time the site community would show values antagonistic to the maintenance and sponsor-backed profitability of reddit, as a recent blackout nominally undertaken for the sake of third party software beneficial to the blind shows.
The other reddit-born political movements and groups of note are their numerous red pill and transgender activism subs, which are and always have been viciously opposed to each other. Reddit is not particularly noteworthy in terms of support or decrial of homosexuality, which has always been more or less on par with the practical treatment of homosexuality on 4chan (though reddit was initially significantly more homophobic than 4chan, several factors including the mass banning and perpetual liquidation of 4chan's toxic and bizarre "trap" culture of the '08 era and histrionically retarded outspoken queers on blue boards were notable steps in the right direction on that front).
Less notable but more influential in the long run have been r/coontown, r/HBD and a host of other now-banned explicitly racist subs running the gamut from "humor" that consisted exclusively of saying "nigger" to creating infographics that are reposted on 4chan to this day. On the whole, 4chan has been the recipient and mindless repeater of more reddit memes than the other way around given the explosive growth 4chan's /pol/ experienced after reddit decided, slowly, eventually, to remove places like coontown from its servers.
