I like the /jav/ idea I saw someone come up with (Japanese Animation and Video Games), because if /av/ is restricted to only japanese cartoons why not only japanese games as well?

>>13450On /qa/, yes... I was mostly referring to any new boards, but also /maho/ and others. The touhou posters on /jp/ seems to understand sage, so I think nonoko is fine there.
/b/ doesn't have it, but I think that's fine. I don't know about others, but I basically only use it to post about issues I have and then forget the board exists for months at a time until a meta thread appears like this one.

>>13451>>13455I would prefer separating anime and video games. Lumping them together into /av/ doesn't really make sense to me. If we want to get away from "/v/", I would propose /geimu/ - Video Games. Makes about as much sense as /maho/. Is /a/ fine?... I dunno. To steal one from Ota, /om/ - Otaku Media for anime and manga and vns and whatever else, I guess? Maybe that's not a clear title though...

>they need to be together because the point was freeing up existing subjects instead of isolating one of them from all the others.What does this achieve that /all/ doesn't already? Purely from the perspective of organization, /av/ doesn't make sense unless it's a general containment zone sharing the space of one board instead of two true boards. For what?... To make it look more active? I don't get it. Again, if the issue is "contamination", I don't think that's an issue. Pure /v/ posters would constitute a minority going by
>>>/poll/6137.
And... Well... That's the exact issue already occuring on /jp/ where anime discussion is the minority. Lumping them together, if anything would just lead to confusion over whether only anime-adjacent game discussion is allowed, and I think there's only so much that can be said about Koikatsu (´。• ω •。`)
>>13473Re:
>>13388 >>13389. I still think the issue is just speed and visibility. Hypothetically, if seasonal anime discussion proves slower than touhou posting such that the only way it could survive is via making general threads on /jp/ or by shuffling them onto the slower /qa/, I think that's a recipe for a failed policy. On an /a/ board they wouldn't be fighting for visibility on the front page; activity could be spread out, without needing generals to survive.

I think that we are seriously planning to make adjustments to structure of the site.
He's not really seeing his idea through properly and trying to continuously poll so he doesn't think people will hate him for his idea, but being hated is a regular occurrence for me so I'm going behind his back a bit right now by saying this fits some goals I've had that are better for the site.
One is to deal with how unstructured our /qa/ board has become in light of our changes over the years with new boards
Two is to deal with how we've slowly digressed into becoming an IRC channel with a few threads because we've just been taking an easy route. Removing some of our threads and moving some things around, even if it is a pain for the users now will end up being a long term benefit
Third is that more rigid structure makes it easier to integrate into the site.
I think we're going to have a token /poll/ about it, but I'm interested in seeing the idea through to whatever outcome it produces because I feel as if our site is really disorganized to no ones benefit.
Basically we've outlined the failure condition as we kill our site.

So a few people have already mentioned how most people just use /all/ making the distinction between current boards mainly a formality that affects things like how long it takes for a thread to die, and not the actual browsing experience. To me, this is a good thing, as I believe the entire site should be one cohesive community instead of different communities gated into their own boards. I think the latter should be left to generalist imageboards like 4shit (RIP in piss) and 8gag, and imageboards like kissu should strive to cultivate a userbase united by a common framework of culture and interests. (Which is NOT the same as saying that any topics that diverge from that framework shouldn't be allowed.)
Do you agree with this?
No.13498
>>13444I don't have the kind of autism that lets me tell anonymous posters apart unless there's a particular brand of shitposting that comes out in every post, so I really don't. It's just a frustration with the kinds of people who refuse to make new threads for things that absolutely could be one.
No.13499
>>13497How it is right now is the way I like it for sure. At the same time I don't see using anything other than /all/ regardless of what boards you guys add because you're essentially categorizing what's already there or adding something that's adjacent to the site anyway, not introducing something I couldn't care about or wouldn't want to see. Unless I'm totally out of the loop here.
To me it all boils down to /all/ essentially since that's how I use the site. Whatever is on there is the site for me. It's probably the case for basically everyone right now.
That might change as you start adding more and more boards and some people might only frequent that one particular board. Maybe they'll grow so out of sync that I wouldn't want anything to do with them but I don't see that happening as long as you care for the site.

>>13497Yeah, I do want it to be one community and I think the big generals are the biggest threat to that at present.
I basically agree with what V said and think this is a good opportunity to shift things around and move to a wider range of more accessible threads so people can easily be exposed to and engage with all the different topics that the community engages with. Having disorganized spaces isn't a bad thing when you're a small community, but when users are having difficulty finding the right place to put things a little more order is needed. I think a broad topic and /all/ will keep the community together while still promoting more threads about topics we've been weak about covering in the past. Worst case, we see things moving in the wrong direction and delete /maho/.
>>13500Also, this. Board delineation is important for thread creation even if it's not all that important to the average browsing experience.

I am happy to see this rule and hope it is strongly encouraged/enforced since I think that's the main way to stop a culture of generals cropping up.
