>Same reason /s4s/ is still there - it's the board where people go to shitpost so that the other boards don't have to be filled with it.
No, no, no. 4chan is still full of shitposting, and /s4s/'s own shitposting has steadily been leaking into other boards. Moot has no idea how to manage and build a community. His answer to troublemakers (spammers, shitposters, idiots) is to give them their own place, hoping they'll just stay there and leave everyone else alone. The racists, the misogynists, the ponyfuckers, you name it. Then when they have established a presence (thanks in no small part to his retarded policy) and people still complain about them, he says now he can't get rid of their board, or they'd spill out into the others. This kind of approach is, at best, horribly naive, and at worst, downright stupid. The site has been hemorrhaging quality posters for years and creating abominations like /s4s/ won't help to reverse the trend.
