Reorganization of September 29th, 2025

[BullfrogBill]

Would it be possible to add a "view replies/quotes" to a post in some way?

I second this, I think this is a great idea.

I was also wondering if there was any way for an account to make multiple lists of threads. Kind of like the existing "watched threads" feature but if you could have multiple "watched threads" each with their own threads. Like I could have a list for classis style lolcows, I could have a separate list for political threads, or a list of movie related lists and so on. I know that the subforums already exist but they tend to be too crowded with threads I don't care about and I'd like to have the ability to make my own lists by topic with only the threads that I read in them.

The live talent subforum isn't cow threads.

Which is why the community board should come back imo. VTubers in gen is a weird look when there aren't other communities there (why not regular streamers, for example?)

Want to say the changes aren't exactly that bad once you learn to use the filters. Although I don't know how it'll work out for mobile users since this feels more like you should be on a computer to get the most out of it.

I would love it if highlighted posts that are on the very bottom of a page did not fling your cursor off of the highlight arrows you had it on as you were clicking through them. It's vaguely irritating if you're trying to find a highlight that is fuck knows where and you don't have the specific words to search it up. I can see that it doesn't happen if you're zoomed in like crazy, but I don't need to be browsing KF in geriatric mode yet.

Can we get a "random thread" button that takes us to the first page or first unread post on a random thread on the site? Sometimes my regular threads have no new posts or don't interest me at the moment, but it's too tiresome to navigate the site for a new one. Thread titles are often too long and not explanatory (lolcow titles having every username they've ever had which means nothing to you if you've never heard of them before, for example), and the tags like "horrorcow", while helpful, are too broad. The site is also so compartmentalized that users with broad interests would need to search pretty much every corner of the site individually to find things they want to read. The organization is good, but when I'm searching for something mildly interesting to read without a specific thread in mind already it can become tedious checking through all the sub-forums one after the other. A single listing for all active threads on the site would also be nice, like the way the sub-forums are ordered by activity but site-wide.

The casual toilet readers demand representation!

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I think chat could replace the users online box if it's an issue of space since people use the active/new threads boxes

True, that could be tucked away instead of chat if need be.

Which is why the community board should come back imo. VTubers in gen is a weird look when there aren't other communities there (why not regular streamers, for example?)

The community watch board was specifically for cow threads centered around communities, not random community talks about people.

Want to say the changes aren't exactly that bad once you learn to use the filters. Although I don't know how it'll work out for mobile users since this feels more like you should be on a computer to get the most out of it.

Reminded me of this old webcomic gag kinda

Spoiler: COMPLETE BULLSHIT

I think someone actually made a functional version of this fake website browser at one point but that's unrelated.

Anyways as someone who's posting FROM a computer It's just as weird to get used to and feels more like it was made for phone posters.

 

[Lamia_Tamer]

what does this even mean?

He wants Watched-thread replies to be per-thread selectable. So all watched threads show up in Watched but only some show up in notifs. I dig it.

Yep. The motivation being watched threads are very easily accessible but I don't really need a notification every time someone posts in a popular thread, so make that an option on a per-thread basis.

 

[Esquilax]

Bless you for the auto scroll up or down, I missed it so much on mobile.

Not possible without modification.

[NuII's Clitty💦]

Make it possible to only display posts that contain attachments (pictures and video).

 

[PandaChai]

Per board "Active Threads" and "New Submissions" side panels
edit: and "Replies to this post" dropdown option on posts

 

[The best and greatest]

So I dont know how feasible this suggestion is but given how much Nool complains about peanut gallery posters like me shitting up important threads I think the Articles/News portion of the Thunderdome could use an explicit separation between the actual content versus the peanut gallery commentary which imo should probably be in its own localized containment subforum.

Basically you'd have two threads for every article. One for news and one for commenting, maybe with some kind of site function that allows you to swap to the associated comments thread from the news thread itself, or more practically, an obligatory link in the OP

[Perfectly Innocent]

as a way to appreciate forum posts. It has many meanings and many uses.

 

[Moms New Boyfriend]

also an international board in hindi would be really funny

Honeypot threads where if you post there you get locked to only posting in that thread. Or posting there gets you flared as an undesirable Alternatively, instead of banning the Indian IP range as someone else mentioned, they get flaired as undesirables.

 

[The Freak Who Lived]

People interact with 4ch just fine.

4chan displays the thread image, an optional bold title, and the OP's content, and a few comments in the index. The catalog is many images, titles, and descriptions.

Other sites (like youtube) that have done that have become actively worse as a result

These all require you to use your brain and exercise linguistic and spatial skills in ways that an algorithmic dopa-machine will not.

I don’t want to fucking interact with children who become frightened at a paragraph’s worth of text.

You are arguing with shadows. The website needs FTUE to grow. This does not mean making it TikTok or whichever antichrist you dislike the most.

That is to say, if a person comes to this site through the main page, they should know immediately what they might want to start looking for.

This is precisely what I mean.

 

[StrawberryDouche]

Deathfats really was its own unique, specific thing and I dislike the merge with BP. However, seeing former Deathfat denizen and pencil thin crackhead Nader have the Deathfat tag is funny.

If you do keep it merged, can you change the subtitle from Cosplay, makeup, and catfights to Cosplay, makeup, catfights, and fat chicks or something?

 

[Shazam]

Make a BBS server that we can telnet into when the site's getting attacked with some bunker boards for us to post on. I'll make the ASCII art. (Serious request.)

 

[The Lawgiver]

No I'm arguing specifically with your retarded premise you pitched of making it more like tiktok. The antichrist has fuck all to do with this. It's "badly thought out changes to chase trends" that is the key fuckery here. Another non website example would be how tf2 changed how it's matchmaking worked to be more like overwatch, something people hated and continue to hate years later.
