Convos.org – sort of Reddit meets 4chan

That's a hell of an elevator pitch. It immediately makes me think "this is going to be full of the kind of people who give Reddit and 4Chan bad names".

And then I load it and the second story on the front page is "how much dick can you suck in one day", posted by "niggers". Well then. Guess my impression from the pitch was accurate.

I like the idea of nested comments with full anonymitity. One thing I noticed though is that it may be hard to get specific conversation going. Reddit has super specific subreddits, so people can focus on an individual topic there. 4chan has many more boards and a catalogue view with images, so you can quickly find a picture related to what you're interested in.

With this I feel you are stuck with a small number of boards, each of which you can only see 25 different posts, all in text. The text forces you to spend time on each one determining the topic before moving onto the next.

I once started a HN meets 4chan (anonynews). Never finished it, haha.

It was almost like this, but without the votes, because I think they are bad.

If someone wants to vote something up they should write a comment, if it's too easy to vote, the opinions get obscured. Also topics/comments were just hide-able if you don't wanted to see them.

This is really interesting. Hopefully it won't turn into 4chan (which is great if you're into that kind of stuff but for everyone else is generally a place to avoid)

THAT PINK SITE! Is that some sort of statement?
