Please consider this a polite "no."
Don't refer to own venture as "cancerous off-shoot" of site whose brand we purport to leverage.
I think there are many people doing this: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwkfi5tqEi1qzqh0wo1_500.pn... to 4chan. That's the situation faced by any popular site, but imagine if Craig was offered the chance to invest in airbnb?
>4chan is good at some simple things but doesn't serve specific niches in a thorough and interesting way.
Have you been to 4chan? Are the papercraft/origami and "general" thread boards not good enough for you? Not to mention awhile ago poole did a post about how thoughtlessly adding boards dilutes the community and just ends up causing mayhem.
I think I worded my pitch incorrectly but the "cancerous" part is not our site, but the activity itself. Our site is the cure to the cancer.
Just going off of the previous airbnb example, if 4chan had a travel board where people are spamming their rentals that activity might be considered cancerous. If 4chan told people to go to a site where they're invested in that would both solve the problem and be a win win for both communities.

There are people attempting to do things on 4chan which are as complicated as the previous example of rentals. It is obvious that airbnb is a much superior rental platform than 4chan. The activity I'm referring to is much like rentals, a cancerous annoyance on a discussion site, but important and useful economic activity. 4chan should seek to join us and help it get rid of the cancer.
