I've been a little concerned with some of the threads I've been seeing on >>>/oat/ lately.

This one in particular is a discussion about Anarchy:

>>/oat/39713871

And this one is a little Racist:

>>/oat/39711675


Now of course Bronies should have a board for threads such as that, but I feel that too many such topics have been appearing on >>>/oat/ and have been distracting users from more light topics (like what I usually post).

So, I would like to suggest that Ponychan make another board for hard/heavy topics like Anarchy, Racism and British Politics (>>/oat/39716052) so that those threads can go there instead and more users can notice the more lighter treads people bring up on >>>/oat/

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion.

ITT: i'm too new to know what a failure /dis/ was
ITT: there's too much topical thread distracting everyone from my pointless fluff threads
ITT: we need more non-pony boards on this pony site
ITT: we need yet *another* board

and so the cycle continues

The short story is we had one and it died and we literally just deleted it like three months ago because it was getting zero posts. Such threads are doing far better on /oat/, which shouldn't really surprise anyone given how much busier it is, so bringing /dis/ back sounds like a shitty idea.

If they are bothering you there is a "Hide Thread" button that'll pretty much completely remove those topics from your vision. Should clear things up fine.

I'm not 100% certain what your point is; but take a look at this post: >>/oat/39717823

This really, really is a problem.

Besides, what's wrong with having another board even if it's not used so much? It's not like Ponychan is actually expecting it to generate a profit, right? How could any board generate a profit? What would it be wasting?

Okay, well that post is pretty definitely against the site's rules on every board, so it's kind of a bad example.

There once was a board known as /dis/
Where one could post topics like this
But then its users all fled
And a single tear was shed
When the board was sent to the abyss

Nice limerick.

But if Ponychan doesn't solve this problem, I'm going to leave.

And how exactly do you propose Ponychan find enough users to repopulate the /dis/ board?
Because remaking /dis/ would be pointless if not enough people are going to be posting there. Which is why it was killed off in the first place.

>ITT: Stop talking about things i dont like.

Check the bottom of an OP's post for a small button labeled "Hide"
Clicking that removes those threads from the universe through the power of internet wizardry.
They can be summoned back onto our plane with the holy incantation of "Unhide" that appears in the former threads place.

If the 'political discussion' threads these last few days are at /dis/ levels I would think that /dis/ was a containment board more than anything.
