They're going to start flooding the boards with AI slop, but they completely misunderstood their own fucking manual.

They're saying right there that attempting to shut down boards will lead to migration, the hydra effect where cutting one head off will make 2 new grow.

By removing the poster counter, they're making it impossible even for an average OP of a non-political thread to know if they are being trolled by some regular lazy-poster without a proxy.

This is the kind of thing real posters will migrate over.
