should null permanently disable registration?

[Neo-Nazi Rich Evans]

fuck off, we're full.

 

[Stabmaster Arson]

Every time a lolcow thread gets moved to inactive, allow one new registration.

The really funnee would be to just ban everyone that popped up with a -2016 acct to talk about chris and barb's butts

 

[Divine right to rule]

No. The site kinda needs fresh blood from time to time. If the newcomers are shit, just give them the triangle of shame and sodomy.

 

[Idiotron]

No, we need new people showing up.
Otherwise, we'll become like any other bubble where the same people perpetuate the same ideas over and over and nobody is called out on anything.
Also, it's increasingly difficult to find websites where you can have a free and open discussion on any topic, let's not wall off another one.

Even just cutting down registration to every other month would drastically lower the amount of impulse signups and raiders coming in from other websites. It would also be more regular than this "Event has happened, SHUT IT DOWN" rate we're going at.

What's the third vertex?

You guys don't need fewer users, you need to bully the newfags harder.

Nah, give people that meet quotas (i.e member longer than 6 months, 100 messages or something) referrals, at times when shit breaks out like the Chris Chan incest story, would make it harder for people to stuff in new accounts nonstop but also keep a steady flow of newfags

We need halals every now and then, keeps the site interesting.

if somebody writes a halal on me then i will be the only reason this site is fun

 

[AMHOLIO]

New people make me laugh and say funny things. If you suck at posting you just get made fun of or banned.

I like the whole shutting down registration when there is a happening. I also like this idea to only let people who meet a certain criteria give out referrals, people who are invested in the site and positively contribute to it (not by being a lolcow). Then maybe for one month a year have some kind of free-for-all open registration, maybe in October in honor of Spooky Month and to troll the summer fags.

Add a fee to register during happenings. No fee for other times. That way impulse signups are reduced and the forum has cashflow.

 

[Dysnomia]

Other than closing registration during big time happenings, no. We don't want to become a bubble. The idea is not to be flooded with happenings related autism, not cut the autism off all together.

 

[Moths]

No oldfags need to make new gimmick socks

 

[deerPropaganda]

No, but we should brand newcomers with a Jew star.

 

[Laburnum]

Bring back the post-merge sticker for those who broke through into this reality last year.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Nah, keep it open. For every one newbie who took the time to lurk, learn the site’s culture and turns out to be a good poster, there’s several dozen who show up that are complete retards, Chris Chan level autists, Reddit soyfags who want to LARP as edgelords, /pol/tards who think this site is Stormfront 2.0, the list goes on. They make for great entertainment and we even occasionally get a good member so there’s that.
