It's not about storage capacity, but traffic.
AMM tripfag has a special code in all of his flashes to check the view count. And he said that on
average day flash gets 5-6k views.
Then we can check archives
http://archive.4plebs.org/f/search/type/op/start/2015-10-02/
>Returning only first 5000 of 42578 results found.
I.e. there were 42578 flashes posted in the last year or ~116,7 flashes per day.
The average file size of 30 flashes currently on /f/ is 3.71 Mb. Let's assume it's the average
file size for the whole /f/.
116,7 flashes per day * 5500 views * 3.71 Mb = 2,380,285.18 Mb or
TWO FUCKING TERABYTES of traffic per day on a shitty board people don't even know exists.
RIP /f/.

>>3156996

Now I have a problem there, he says his flash gets 5 - 6 k views a day, however that's just views
from anywhere, not specifically /f/
Also the view count might change based upon the filename of the flash.

I doubt that /f/ is a big problem traffic wise. And I doubt that gookmoot will close a bunch of
small boards but rather make one big change, like downsizing all uploads back to 2MB or whatever
it was a few years ago.
I just hope he starts to accept donations or something

moot said that something around 90%of 4chan's traffic is from people that don't post. Sure, maybe
it's more obvious on /f/ when there's no replies to a flash that persists for half a day, but

Most people on 4chan are lurkers because of the board/site culture. 4chan takes a while to
understand and if you post something where it shows that you're new you get immediately shot down.

There's always a spot for me in the dumpster fire of /4ccg/ but in terms of managing a virtual
memeball team /f/ is the only team I'll ever manage. And honestly things will feel empty without
a vent for my competitive autism. I mean there could be other boards I could help out but /f/ is
what really sparks the passion for managing there everything else would just be hollow to me.

"Two terabytes per day" isn't THAT much when you're talking about an image-based website with
literally billions of pageviews per day. Keep your chill, hoes.
If I'm not mistaken, /f/ used to be hosted on a completely different server to the rest of 4chan,
although that's from the days when different servers used to have different subdomains. It's
reasonable to assume that by the time of the most recent cock-up (about a year ago) and the
modernization of /f/'s software that it's been ported to something more collective.
If it hasn't, though, and is still separate from the rest of the website, that makes /f/ very
vulnerable for last-ditch deletion motions. Actual bandwidth usage notwithstanding.
And if we're being cynical, nipmoot is just simply warming up our ass-wallets for whatever
shekel-extracting new ad policy he has in stores for us. Never trust a gook.
>>3157002
>downsizing all uploads back to 2MB or whatever it was a few years ago
The most reasonable solution.
That, and maybe curbing/deleting the in-site archives.
Advocating for board deletion is just plain retarded. It wouldn't even work, users don't simply
disappear when you delete a board. The idiots over at /qa/ really need to shut the fuck up
already and fill their mouths with some bleach instead.

1. Collect IPs of all users posting on board X for a month

Well maybe in the software the options field probably sends off to a function that checks the
possible commands on a different server, while the updating of the email field is something that
needed to be done manually.
So it's very possible that /f/ is a separate server. At least of all of the other boards shut
down people can come to /f/ again, like the last time that happened.

It would slow traffic, though.
For instance, say they delete /trash/. Most of that content has nowhere else to go. Some can go
to /b/ and some can go elsewhere, but most won't.
Or say they get rid of /wsg/. They'd move to /gif/, and eventually I think they'd reach an
equilibrium, where the board has a split of SFW and NSFW content, but still less overall content
than when both boards existed.
I dont' want to get rid of these boards, just devil's advocating.
