Encourage, create and protect humorous content. Content is what gets users, and users are what this site's profit generation is built around. Not a lot of users are going to be enticed into paying by lowest common denominator shitposting.

Send threatening emails to users who haven't posted in a year or longer demanding money for booze/dialysis. Those fuckers owe you.

Delete unnecessary forums. It waters down the user base and spreads good content too thin across too many forums. People check a handful, not the dozens that exist.

Comedy option: bring back LF

Mirror Pornhub.com

Go back in time to when we were young, so full of promise, and had the time and disposable income to screw around on a website all day.

Stop the shitposting/flames/unfunny bullshit. Enforce probations and bans for lovely posters who monopolize threads and discourage others from joining in.

Develop a high-brow series of articles about luxury products, wealth management vehicles, and pant-making GBS threads. Send a buyout proposal to Conde Nast in 1.5 - 2 years.

Enforce proper grammar & spelling. There exist far too many sites that cater to the "lol/cuck/tranny" mouthbreathing variety, people came here because it was different, and they were willing to pay to do so.

Begin a slow transition to a dabbing/#Black Lives Matter/genderfluid/vape site to capture the youth of today.

Something about feminism.

Shut it down completely. Just shut it down.

Maybe Lowtax could steal funny flash videos and content from other sites and put the something awful logo in the bottom corner and use that to promote the website for free.

Make a deal with the US govt so that when you're banned on the forums... you're banned in real life (thrown into a "black" site where snake goes "mmm black site, nice")
