So what's the word on halfchan's revival? Is it happening or not?

>>37606 One thing for sure, it's going to be a while if it happens at all.

>>37626 Seriously? I thought it'd take a week or something

>>37768 Hiroyuki left the site to rot for 10 years. So now they have to jam in 10 years worth of updates as fast as they can. It's not coming back anytime soon.

>>37606 Mods are the ones with @ before their names, the rest don't know anything either

>>37888 So nothing more than, "It'll be back one day", best not to hold one's breath for it then. This website is fine enough, only needs a bit more activity.

>>37606 The biggest question mark is whether enough mods/jannies will stick around, if too many leave they won't be able to repoen the website >>37933 I don't mind this website either, the biggest problem with altchans have always been that halfchan existed which meant it was soaking up all traffic, we'll see how things changes now that it's gone

>>37877 >>37888 I'm surprised it took this long for halfchan to get hacked in the first place. The longer I've been here the less I've wanted it to return to be honest. This place is just better. No retarded timers, no censorship, no range/vpn bans. I think best case scenario is the user base splits between here and Sharty. The quality of posts has went up drastically with all the retards pooled over there. We get the version of halfchan we want and they get the version they want. Everyone wins.

>>37970 This anon gets it.

>>37970 The quality of posts only seems to be up because the most rabid menheras still haven't found the place. Just give it time if halfchan doesn't come back.

>>37977 IDs help curtail typical menhera behaviour, and as the other anon said /pol/ tourists migrated to sharty.

>>37531 WAKE UP KONO YAROOOOOOO

>>37531 please get well soon ;_;

It's pretty insane how bad the spamming got on halfchan. It's like half of all threads were xitter screencaps or ragebait news article screencaps. No one would even point it out even though it's pretty obvious they were spammed by the same organization, whatever it was. And then they'd get 300 replies and suddenly the technology board is just the e celeb/politics board and the science board is the e celeb/religious retard board. And it was even starting to happen to /a/, as insular as it was. It certainly did feel like the mods/jannies were actively encouraging this type of stuff because these threads would never get deleted while normal anons would get a 3 day for any anime thread thta wasn't explicitly a general. This might be a great thing. If sharty lasts, then they can keep their outrage crowd and outrage boards (/soy/, /fit/, /tv/, etc.) and their literal teenage + literal b-sama combo userbase, and this /a/ can just stay about anime. It's not even that 4/a/ was "overmoderated" rather that the mods just fucking hated us. >>37531 To be totally honest with you, Yotsuba: I hope you don't get better. Please die already. Rip in pieces.

>>38241 The id defenders are actually attention whores who want to create a profile/identity of their posts while using the "It's to stop shitposting" as an excuse.

>>38265 I like IDs when they prevent you from shitposting I don't like them when they prevent me from funposting

>>38265 The crazy thing is that ids never seemed to stop even obvious shitposters/spammers. Cookie cutter template threads with 50 replies and 1 post by the OP would never get called out for it and every knuckle dragging retard on that site would still just post their inane opinions without reading any of the thread. The userbase was half bots and half genuine fucking idiots, and ids don't help with either of those problems. They don't really bother me though, desu

>>38265 Your IDs evaporate when threads die, you can't profile jack shit.

Has the IDs appearing as a blank box for the last day or so been a bug or a feature?

>>37531 I didn't wish for this to happen but you have always treated me like shit. Rangebans, awful moderation, user unfriendliness...I'll be happy if you recover, and I'll be happy if you don't. In this place, I'll learn to move on

>>38265 They just want to punish and drive out everybody who disagrees with them. >this post got me mad? >what other posts did that ID make, so I can attack every post by that ID The same thing happened with レディット and how it became an echo chamber. >>38278 >You can tell when they attack you for being a samefag/shitposter/whatever when you're anti ID. Yep, because they never have an argument other than hypothetical scenarios or calling you a shitposter etc. >>38290 And it was still botted to hell and back.

>>37877 moot should have given the site to some richfag Anon instead of Hiroyuki.

>>38346 someone might have >>>/a2/

>>38368 >they will look at my other posts to find unrelated things And samefag by VPN switching to attack you more. It's the downvote feature of レディット, but adapted to image boards. Suddenly you have a (((reputation))) to protect and can't allow yourself to express what's on your mind freely, post memes or make silly comments. The people who run this place are レディットors - the greatest anime betrayal.

>>38392 >The seemingly high acceptance of IDs surprised me Manufactured consent. >new people who dislike IDs and find 8chan immediately disregard it and leave Yeah, I'm not staying here much longer. >>38392 >Why did they add a halfchan word filter anyway? Jealousy.

>>38392 >Why did they add a halfchan word filter anyway? Probably to suppress the usage of レディット judging by the meta thread >>35232

>>38399 If you really want your anonymity that badly, you do realize this site can be accessed via tor? It's even more anonymous than halfchan if you do that. You just want BOs to enable your samefagging, be real.

>>38290 Here’s an example: https://8chan.moe/vyt/res/32391.html

Ok, is this thread now coopted by the anti-ID bitching force? I see that at least one of you was proactive enough in making a new board, however you picked "a2" for the name? Really? Here, try to reclaim this >>>/animu/1 board or call it /ab/ for fuck sake (like for the IDless /v/), it think may work better.

>>38443 It's not about anonymity, it's about you wanting to be cancer. If you actually wanted anonymity, you would shut the fuck up and put in some effort. Example.

>>38430 Why is samefagging your boogeyman? Is this what your instruction manual said to parrot? I never even did that and I don't see how that is even a major issue (when compared with bots, powerleveling/oversharing users, /pol/ infestation etc.). Were we back on 4chen, I'd call you out for being a bot post, okama janny.

>>38443 That thread is less than a week old, so “all the time” sounds pretty dishonest. The fact is that threads like this were commonplace on 4/a/ and lots of other boards without IDs, and we shouldn’t need mommy moderator to “step in” every time some idiot throws a fit like that.

>>38462 And this is me, for reference. Not that I want to make a habit of posting like that, I'm merely proving it's incredibly simple. Now put in some effort or shut up.

>>38462 >everybody who disagrees with me is x Oh my, where have I seen this before.

>>38265 Are you complaining about IP count per thread or just about namefagging? Because i believe the first to be essential even with full anonymity in mind. The ability for one person to pretend they are half the thread without a poster count giving it away is precisely what enabled corporate shills and discordfags to put the final nail in the coffin of genuine discussion, and i don't mind shitposting by individuals who are just funposting without drowning discussion.

The fearmongering and bitching about ID only happened in meta thread like this. All the other threads had gone past this issue and anon is still shitposting and discussing without pinpointing the special numbers tagged.

>>38478 You've filtered the words tra[/spoiler]nny and tro[spoiler]on too? Okay, that confirms it. This place is run by transoids.

>>37531 ai kuso

>>38539 In no sense is that “the only example.” You are not even trying to hide your stupidity anymore. Almost every Solo Leveling thread on 4/a/ would play out the same way. You could predict when the bar of chin bones would be posted. You could predict the fake ESL style astroturfing. You could predict the pushback. It was all just some show put on by a samefag. There have been MANY threads like this. Someone posted about the demons in Frieren about once a week. Same arguments every time. I can only assume that people arguing against thread IDs want to repeat this style of shitposting here, and the fact that you’ve given me zero reason to think otherwise, that you have pure intentions, speaks volumes.

>>37531 Nothing lasts forever

>>38576 >How the fuck do you think IDs are the solution to all problems, even though it doesn't make sense? Nvm, I thought people were complaining about user count, not the coloured code appearing besides your post, am retarded. In that case, I agree that forced identification is bad, but I still haven't figured out if those codes carry over different threads or boards, or if are enforced at all on every board, to say if they are a deal breaker for using this site or not.

>>38627 So me a favor. Take the below test and post your result here. I’m curious how you can look at a thread that has been posted regularly, which has the same posts in the first 50 replies, same images, same filenames, same tone and language used, and then form the thought, in your stunted prefrontal cortex, “grug like this thread. It seem like good, original thred made by new person.” https://test.mensa.no/Home/Test/en

>>37531 Don't swear.

>>38668 I’m not saying samefagging is always easy to spot. I am literally accepting what you said at face value that you’re too stupid to spot it yourself, which is why I want to learn more about your IQ. But there is another benefit to IDs. Pic related.

>>38703 You can’t even tell the difference between an account and an auto generated thread ID. It’s sad to see you struggle with such basic concepts.

>>38717 I have given multiple concrete examples and stated my reasoning as it relates to those examples. You, on the other hand, have lied about the situation, and hidden your true motivation for disliking IDs. But sure, bro. It’s me who is being manipulative, lmao. Fucknut.

>>37531 >Funposting turns into another meta-thread

>>38750 >given the opportunity to state his reasoning one last time >”nuh-uh!” Filtered. Faggot.

I miss the 4

>>37531 It was planned since a long time the hack is only a diversion halfchan was meant to be shut down, they lost control of it, so they terminated it the hacker soyjak fags and the admins/mods of halfchan come from the same source and are of the same feather

>>38741 It's a good way to combat shitposts tho.

Shitposters still losing it while not having any arguments against IDs. Seems like it's effective

>>38916 They can literally never say what’s wrong with IDs or rebut the many arguments in favor of them. Very suspicious, and not surprising.

>>38936 I've already filtered them shitposting in other threads. Much nicer doing that since attention whores no longer use tripcodes.

>>38290 In a few generals I occasionally visit it for sure slowed it down. I've asked around and the IDs do make gimmick posters a bit more shy about spamming their shit every thread for hours, but it could also just be like said earlier that it's just that they haven't found 8ch yet. Haven't seen normal /v/ threads for games I go to often yet so I can't speak on those though.

>>38977 A few shitposters are here and probably they already knew about 8chan(s).

>>38290 And flags, those never stopped the sc-hi-zos from sperging out, the result remains the same

>>37531 It was an overdue wake-up call, but I hope halfchan recovers soon. I miss home.

>>38431 >OP rapidly makes a series of posts in a row to imitate activity in his own thread Super easy to identify through ip count, no id needed for your example.

>>38994 >And flags, those never stopped the sc-hi-zos from sperging out, the result remains the same I can only think that you're being deliberately dishonest.

>>38994 in my experience enabling flags basically turned /sp/ into a slightly less racist /int/. And VPN posters basically were shitposting and spamming all the time. The Jannies did nothing about it, of course.

>>37531 I'm sad enough that the site I spent 20 years on is possibly dead, no need to make this more depressing.

>>38263 >generals There's your problem.

>>39120 meant for >>38316

>>39027 >2000s halfchan sweet innocence and good times >2010s halfchan rebellious phase and drug addiction >2020s halfchan total neglect and death

>>39062 That pic is fake, adding, moving and removing rows is trivial (pic rel). 4pleb removed the counter but you can still check the number of posts per flag using the search function. TLDR israel is ~1% of the US in post count, meanwhile Finland is absurdly over-represented (Suomi autism).

>>39062 Their only defense is denying its validity Yet, whenever you rangeban them, things improve 90%

>>39172 Why aren't you posting on >>>/wsj/? They need some activity and it has no-ID

>>39132 Gab filtered India and Israel, and suddenly 100% of the spam and shit went away. Weird how that works.

>>39218 Well then you should fuck off to gab, faggot.

>>37531 Please come back, I can't take it anymore

>post a reply to the thread >It's a single sentence >anon replies to me with a three paragraph essay >he's absolutely right >feel obligated to reply to him but I have nothing to say >im also too embarrassed to post now IDs aren't good for my social anxiety.

>>39262 And if you search your old online activity (ie archives, forums) it will cringe you. Just get used.

>>39262 i do that even without ids. just thank them for taking the time to type out the essay for your benefit

>>39270 >and dead And? just make threads, most threads are DoA anyway

>>39262 Same bro. My parasocial relationship with /a/ is being destroyed by this stupid IDs.

>>39262 why is /a/ full of sissies

>>39280 They are on this board too.

>>37606 In 2085. Cant wait.

>>39262 This is fine. Some people should not be posting.

I dont want to go back. I Like it here. Pls someone hack halfchan again.

the only threads where it was necessary to have IDs on /a/ were the shonen threads

>>39172 Try again, menhera shitposter

>>39500 No, a lot of popular non-shounen or edgy series were trolled to death. Especially if the author was a woman.

>>39270 So you're an attention whore who wants others to do the work of building a community that you could then squat in. I'll I can say is that you can change if you want and start making a contribution to a better board experience. It's up to you.

>>37531 The other place was full of normgroid tourists and unbelievable amounts of spam from the obvious suspects. A cleanup was well overdue.

>>39517 name THREE (3)

>>39501 Easy as fuck to edit with browser provided tools.

>>39517 You don't know whether IDs helped, because there were no such threads before they enabled IDs on this board. Also the userbase on 8chan is completely different. There's not a single proof or even argument that IDs are needed on /a/.

>>39537 S&W, Loop 7, Tengoku Daimakyou, Shinsekai Yori, Symphogear, etc. If you're feigning ignorance then you can fuck off.

>IDs are now hidden Hm, they said they were experimenting. Too be honest, I didn't see any blatant cancerous shitposting like in the shounenshitter threads on old /a/, maybe it was preventative. Who knows, they might ablish them once things have settled down and the worst shounenfags found new homes elsewhere. Dear mods, just learn from halfchan's mods and don't become control freaks.

Is this true? Is it over?

>>39561 I can identify old spammers by the way they behave (I'm not name dropping), and yes, ID works far better than moderation, it's like having locks on your doors instead of wasting time calling the police each night.

>>38263 >It certainly did feel like the mods/jannies were actively encouraging this type of stuff it most absolutely did

>>39581 Ah, some VPN IPs seem to be banned, I couldn't post this just know (I forgot I had the VPN on, too). So in addition: dear mods, please don't ban all VPNs, they're virtually necessary for many people.

Threads complaining about IDs are getting deleted. We're seeing the first mod agenda at work.

The “(27)” faggot is using his VPN now. He thinks we don’t notice.

>>39591 If some relies on VPN to use this site then should be proactive against blatant trolls trying to degrade the website with DDoS, raids, destructive trolling etc, it is in their best interests...

>>39603 I thought you filtered me.

>>39584 fuck you

>>39600 >off topic threads not about anime or manga are being deleted MODS = GODS

>>39604 If only /a/ and other otaku boards migrate here this will likely not be much of a problem. halfchan's userbase seems to have split up between various sites, and the worst were always on non-otaku ones. /a/ has always been rather pigheaded when it comes to not dirtying our interests.

>>39584 o7

>>39581 >don't become control freaks. The main problem with 4mods was that they didn't act most of the time, at least on 4/a/. Jannies might have wanted to in some situations, but couldn't since they didn't have the power to.

>>39578 well, how am i going to post in this thread now after getting btfo'd remove IDs

>/a/ was not moderated You need to be shot in the head disgusting agp faggot, lots of threads were literally protected or made by the mods

Can't wait for netorarechan to come back so you fags whining about muh IDs can fuck off already.

>>39578 >Symphogear It was? Tell me more, I'm interested. I only watched Symphogear while season 3 was airing, and only watched the last 2 or 3 episodes of that season as they came out. At least at this point there wasn't any trolling anymore. I know that some anons thought it was too melodramatic and edgy when it came out (because they told me).

>>39517 There were also the antiyurimenheras, the panmenheraspammer, diaperfags who ruined Medalist threads, etc. They were usually active at the same time, so either they were brigading or are one or a couple of retards that kept getting away with it.

>>39627 How much you want to bet that same faggot complaining about IDs in this thread went and started the new thread because he’s just that butthurt, lol. As these people are so fond of saying “how am I supposed to ever post again after someone btfo’s me?” They have no capacity for self-reflection or admitting that they were wrong.

>>39714 I made a post in that thread but I didn't post it. I bet you wished IDs were board wide.

>>39627 They're not deleting this thread, or the ghost thread. I guess they only delete off-topic threads that hurt their feelings.

>>39704 I wonder how IDs are supposed to stop them.

>>39696 >some anon starts a thread for a translation/scan/news >the "yurishit" spammer finds out the thread and starts his usual drama The usual thing on /a/, some people was trying to create a Shounen-only board. There was an anon that has been harassing some series for +10 years, he even has a name because he's repetitive and easily triggered by a keyword.

>>39666 And others weren't moderated at all and had retards ruining them for anyone else.

>>39637 >>39666 The problem was always selective moderation. Certain threads on /a/ had jannies literally funposting in them, and when you pissed one off, you’d get a 24 hour to 3 day, unappealable ban for no reason other than the janny doesn’t like you. Buyfag was like that. Meanwhile, other threads were allowed to be trolled to utter shit. This was all after they “clarified” that things like board culture threads (not meta threads) and threads about anime in general were not allowed, when people supposedly all knew the new rules. Still selective enforcement and janny power tripping. It was as bad or worse on other boards, too. On 4/k/, for example, they allowed all the NAFO propaganda posting, despite a big warning to not post politics at the top of the page, but they would literally ban you within 5 minutes for posting something critical of Zelensky or the Ukrainian military. On another problem board, 4/ck/, mods would hand out GLOBAL bans for minor infractions that have always been permitted on the site, like saying the n-word or complaining about low quality food by calling it goykuso. Meanwhile, for example, people were allowed to post /ck/ webm threads with the same set of about 40-50 webm’s that had been posted continuously for years and years. There is no substitution for self-moderation, and thread IDs are a really good tool for improving the quality of threads.

>>39744 Ah, I see. I'll be honest, shounenfags and MANimefags are the worst part of the fandom. Always felt like people who watched some crappy 90s stuff with blood and tits and gore and constant massacres or Dragon Ball Z as a kid and then, on the internet, found out that K-On! dares to exist! As if anime was a genre instead of a medium. And their "discussions" are basically only "Vegeta okama netorare Goku diaper netorare okama netorare netorare okama I kneel netorare Jiren" Back when I still watched "reviewers" on TGWTG I saw a video of Bennetthesage (remember him?) literally starting a video with "Back when I got into anime it was that badass manly blablabla" and I wanted to scream at him "Sailor Moon has been around since the early 90s you dumb fuck!"

>>39772 >NAFO Of course this ID defender is a /pol/shitter. /pol/ had IDs, yet it was an utterly fucked botted shithole. /pol/shitters were always very paranoid about IDs.

This thread is turning into a meta of the whole halfchan instead of just /a/...

>>39772 Yeah. Much of the mods cared about as much as hiro did about the site's health, which is clearly nothing besides an income stream from glow "sponsors". And no doubt some jannies, or posters well connected with them and the mods, had their own protected safe spaces, like /ai/.

>>39844 It's just one guy and he's pretty obvious. Good thing we have IDs so we can just hide his posts.

>>39589 Is that the first time they made any comment besides (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) since hiro?

>>40073 You can report it, they usually do a good job if they aren't flooded and he should report that board to the global admin not here for the BO/BV because that falls under the global rules.

>>40073 >>39825 Speaking only for myself, I was fine with leaving this thread up since Yotsuba, and also 4chan is pretty topical so whatever, but I don't really want this topic to proliferate the thread, so if you want to continue talking about this please do it on a more suitable board. Maybe /b/ or /site/ or something. Thanks.

Yotsuba!

which one of you fags posted this thread on R****t?

>>40282 >Checks the user activity I think it's better not to find it out...

>>39589 Not surprising, the 4chin mods have always been nigger loving cucks.

>>39561 >There's not a single proof or even argument that IDs are needed on /a/. Well, if you want to steer public opinions in a certain way... Same as with Leddit - use social pressure (downvoting/mass replying to a certain ID) to either uplift or demonise some views. Shame certain IDs and make them accountable for what they post. There is no freedom in this - something that imageboard users always valued. Only chains.

>>38263 instead of cleaning up the boards, the jannies were using their power to shit them up. thanks to the leaks at least now i know for a fact when i'd get a 3 day ban for no real reason, sometimes without a post even being linked to let me know which post it was that broke some rule, i know the real reason is because i made a janny seethe hard.

I wish the hackers would reveal what percentage of the jannies were troons

Do other anons really get banned for no reason all the time? I always seen anons complaining about this, but it almost never happens to me. The rare times that I do get a 3 day ban, I always know exactly what it was I did, if it occasionally isn't actually my fault.

>>40479 >Shame certain IDs and make them accountable for what they post. If you can't deal with being held accountable for the bullshit you post over the span of a single thread, and you think this is the "Same as Leddit," then you should not be posting.

>meta thread sticky >another meta thread gets made anyways >menheraphrenic posters in all of them 8chan jannies are going to learn real soon why /a/ bans all of these kuso threads

>>40547 Only the shitposters.

>>37970 >no range/vpn bans. he doesn't know

>>40557 Absolutely agree. And the ID doesn't stop them, they could put a little of effort instead of forcing everyone else to bear their lazyness.

>>40547 I got banned onetime just for posting that Lynda Carter mogging Gal Gadot. Israel didn't like that.

>>40547 happened to me directly twice, the first time i wrote an email to the mods asking how i'm supposed to know how not to break a rule if they don't even tell me what it was i posted that caused me to get banned. sometimes i'd just get banned for replying to a thread along with every poster in that thread. that happened last month when i replied to a twitter screencap thread on /v/ and got a global ban for it, which caused me to laugh hard because i knew that the game OP was shitting on caused some mod to get mad enough to global ban around 100 people over it after 404'ing the thread.

>>40596 >twitter screencap thread on /v/ That should just be an autoban

>>40609 well i can't take them seriously about banning anyone over it when the catalog is constantly filled with twitter screencaps that reach bump limit and archive.

>>40547 They always had the liberty to write a custom reason, and the "You will not post off-topic/trolling/racism" reason accompanied with a 3-day ban that couldn't be appealed was always mostly bullshit. The craziest ban I caught was a permanent, global ban because I started a thread on /out/ with a photo that the moderator labeled CP, but 1) there was no nudity and it wasn't even pornographic, it's just an aesthetic photo of two CLOTHED girls in shirts and shorts in a tent 2) the photo had been posted on /out/ before and could be found on various sites doing a reverse image search, and 3) even in their response to my appeal, they even admitted that it wasn't CP but because you couldn't see their faces, it could have still been "questionable" or some shit, since you couldn't be sure of their ages, and the fuckers refused to lift the ban. I don't know, maybe the girls in the photo were 17 or maybe they were 19, but there's a difference between posting a photo of a tent on a camping board with a couple cute girls in the photo and literal pornography, which this was not.

Do people seriously give a shit about IDs I didn't even notice they existed until I checked the meta thread. They're hidden by default and you have no reason to check unless you or someone else is being a schizzie. Sure, I'd rather they weren't here at all, and the alleged benefits to implementing them are optimistic bs, but it seems retarded to split the userbase just on account of that. I've had enough migrating to dead boards lately, you're insane if you want to keep doing it

When halfchan gets better I will still be staying around. Some of the shit here is just better. I can't find a good alternative to a /w/ or /wg/ though.

>>40627 not often, but the funniest ban for me was when I got banned for racism toward that girl from the Great Pretender, i couldn't even get properly mad in response

>>40547 Here's an example of what it was like to post on 4/ck/. And it was a global ban, when mods from boards like 4/a/ would normally have the courtesy only ban you from that specific board for the nonsense bans.

well fuck. >>40672 was for >>40547

>>40647 I don't get it either. It seems like an absolute non-issue that for some reason has dozens of people sperging out. Anyone care to explain why is it something they care about? Nobody cares what random 6 letters/numbers are next to your post, unless you're being an extremely obnoxious retard within a single thread, then it just makes it easier to tell who to ignore.

And of course there was always the "quality of posts" reason.

Can we please just give it a few days before starting this whole id war? To see how it feels?

>>40683 >Anyone care to explain why is it something they care about? I just don't like being de-anonimized.

>>40691 >(1) You're already using a VPN. Can't you just shut the fuck up and stop trying to ruin the board for everyone else?

>>40691 Then just use tor

>>40687 The shitposters don't want to give any time

>>40695 That was my first post ITT, I'm just answering the question >>40696 Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that the use of IDs is a loss in the level of anonymity

>>40691 Yes, 7eae8b. I will definitely remember your string of characters for the rest of my life and make a psychological profile about it. You're very different and special from all the other /a/nons here, never let anyone tell you otherwise.

>>40547 sheeps who never stray from the herd don't get banned, the bans are for the people who don't conform

>>40706 > is a loss in the level of anonymity Well, it isn't. You can use TOR and you'll be more anonymous here than on 4/a/

>>40706 >That was my first post ITT, I'm just answering the question

>>40695 This /pol menhera is too funny.

>>40707 Would you say the same about usernames?

>>40706 Replying more than once in a thread is already a ,,loss in the level of anonymity" because of people understanding context and seeing that the two posts talking about same thing within same time frame are most likely the same dude. If you want a truly anonymous board your best bet would be to perform a frontal lobotomy on every single poster so they're too retarded to connect the dots.

In properly anonymized posting I can have engage in tomfoolery like inserting myself in an argument, give the impression that I'm some other anon and make his case stronger/make him look like a retard

8chan? It's hard enough to find a five leaf clover, but now you expect me to find an eight leaf?

Whenever I see one of these people raging at thread IDs like they're being attacked, or being dismissive of an example like https://8chan.moe/vyt/res/32391.html all I can think is, "over the target." That's the shit they want to do here, since they were doing it on 4/a/ and other boards since forever, and it burns them up that they can't. >>40740 Yep. We know.

>>40740 If you're afraid of anonymous posting, chan culture is not for you. >>40744 >the only example, not even from /a/ but /vyt/ This got resolved with mod intervention, and could have prevented with less intrusive mechanisms.

>>40720 Right, but the question was about why some people don't like IDs. My reason is that the addition of IDs causes a patrial loss of anonymity. I accept that there are ways around it, but that's outside the scope of the question >>40739 >If you want a truly anonymous board your best bet would be to perform a frontal lobotomy on every single poster so they're too retarded to connect the dots. I mean, I don't think lobotomizing most of 4chan would change anything

>>40739 lmao

It's like, you go into a business and say "we're going to do an audit of where all the money is going... The people who immediately cry foul are the ones embezzling funds. >folks, we're going to do thread IDs >what? nooooo, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!! mfw

Aldo don't forget that f59fb6 is a /pol/ semite >>39772 He probably thinks his highly botted, shilled, and glowing board (with IDs) was organic posting. Also he posts shit that would be against the rules on 8chan >>40627

>>40752 > patrial loss of anonymity. server-side you aren't anonymous, as simple as that. If you think that's not the case you're deceiving yourself

>>40762 >business audit They all know their real names when doing audits. This sounds like a defense of reddit, not IDs.

>>40764 /a2/ is more your speed.

>>40769 Yeah, but I don't see how that makes thread-side anonymity loss better

Yes, it's a hit to anonymity and I don't like it. But it's probably the most minor one possible. Literally just don't look at it. It doesn't justify creating a new board >It's a good thing that it's less anonymous! Why the fuck are these people here?

>>39589 4chan /v/ is an absolute unfettered shithole, so mods having fun in this kind of way is fine. The denizens of the board want the constant drama, so why not play into it?

>>40781 > thread-side Then just use TOR, it'll give you a new ID after pressing Ctrl+Shift+U. Nobody cares about first posters if they aren't blatantly obvious and retarded.

The only ones that seem to have an issue with being partially identifiable on a per-thread basis are the ones who seem to have an interest in trolling or soloposting but would rather not be easily found out by others, and just how much they used to do it on 4/a/.

>>40752 First, you aren't even anonymous on a board like 4/a/. What you had was forced anonymized usernames. Adding a thread ID isn't the same as registering an account or building karma or something. Go to a new thread, and your ID resets. Second, being anonymized isn't actually a benefit. As >>40740 pointed out, low quality posters feel emboldened to derail civil conversations for no reason. As I pointed out above, there have been many examples on 4/a/ of people posting the same thread over and over, and then brigading their opinion to try to force a consensus, like with the Frieren demons threads or Solo Leveling threads. Last, I feel like the burden of proof should really be on you to prove that forced anonymized usernames (what you actually want) are a benefit at all, to anyone. If you're too shy or too stupid to keep up, maybe you shouldn't be posting. It may have once been the case that the "chan" userbase was made up of young people. That was 2010. Enough time has passed that I think most people here realize the benefit of keeping track of individuals in a conversation, and refusing the engage with those who are acting in extremely bad faith. Even though it's not exactly the same, the ability to self-moderate by blocking certain users has become foundational to any kind of social media, and it's actually made the internet a better place. If you think otherwise, you need to prove it.

>>40806 We're going in circles here >I accept that there are ways around it, but that's outside the scope of the question

>>40764 If you feel like that then you know the solution.

>>40819 Man where did you newshit even come from. Fully anonymous posting was what made 4chan big. Burden of proof? Go fuck yourself, newshit.

>>40836 Well, this isn't 4c

>>40819 >Go to a new thread, and your ID resets. That means you've lost some anonymity inside threads >Second, being anonymized isn't actually a benefit. All the joy of Reddit or Twitter, kill yourself Yeah, anonymity has downsides. Find one website with no anonymity that's better than 4chan >Last, I feel like the burden of proof should really be on you to prove that forced anonymized usernames (what you actually want) are a benefit at all, to anyone The question was "Why do some not like IDs", not "should ID's being mandatory or not". I've stated my reasons

>>40819 I don't have a huge problem with IDs because I guarantee 90% of people in any thread outside of this autistic meta discussion will not know or care to look at them. But being associated with people like you defending them is fucking humiliating. > the ability to self-moderate by blocking certain users has become foundational to any kind of social media, and it's actually made the internet a better place. Kill yourself

>>40776 The only reason he keeps crying here instead of trying to get people to go there is because he knows nobody agrees with him.

>>40809 This is just not true. This is just a knockout "argument" that nobody can counter. Shills and shitposters have their methods to work this around anyway. Look at /pol/. Such an nice board, isn't it? So much quality because you think you can identify samefags. >>40848 I know. This is reddit. >>40853 Nice VPN.

>>40851 >No sir, you must not allow people to remove the spam! they must eat my stupidity Fuck Off You can make /a2/ great again.

>>40849 > I've stated my reasons >"My reason is that the addition of IDs causes a patrial loss of anonymity." You're just paraphrasing what an ID does. >>40851 Not an argument.

>>40857 >I know. This is reddit. If you're trying to force others to accept YOU, then you're the problem.

>>40866 >You're just paraphrasing what an ID does. "Why do you dislike something" "Because of what it does"

This place is comfier, but definitely not because of IDs, it's just smaller I really needed to put my 95IQ to use to even find my way here.

>>40873 Am I not supposed to get forced to accept IDs? Are you not just defending what your jannies ruled?

>>40857 >Nice VPN. Thanks. Nice use of the mirrors to maintain both d6db91 and 7eae8b

>>40890 What a dumb menhera post by f59fb6 (redditor).

>>40878 You're a fucking idiot, bro.

>>40740 Unless you're a complete menhera or autist you should expect others to reply to you, there's no point in pretending to be others like this for most shit, and if you can't distinguish between who's replying to you or who's making posts without losing your mind, you never belonged on 4chan

>>40885 You can use TOR. But you're trying to remove the IDs for everybody else, that's completely different.

Weird coincidence how the "everybody I don't agree with is a menhera" shit only just started after ghostchan imploded.

The anti-ID menheras almost feel like those glowfags who were trying to push their glowchans before the ID implementation. Almost like being easily identifiable makes their astroturfed posts glow brighter than a neon light.

>>38263 I've to completley agree that huge FAGGOTS that certainly come from an organized group are obviously shitting up several of the bigger boards. It became so obvious when they start shitting up /a/ with yuri SHIT spams every fucking day, allowing unrelated /v/ SHIT to be posted on the board, not to mention allowing reddit/xitter screencaps so openly. That is why I am kind of glad sharty bombed it, allowing things to restart for now.

On a positive note! I just noticed the button on the far right in the top bar opens the board index for you to peruse while in the thread! This site is cool

I see, if I post more, I will just get the public opinion (low post count VPN sock puppets and board owners) against me. >>40904 Why would I penalize myself by changing my ID so often in this reddit system? >>40899 Says the retard who demanded that I post a mensa IQ test, but never showed proof of his own big brain IQ. >>40913 Is that why the most glowing board on 4chan had IDs?

>>40922 >Why would I penalize myself by changing my ID so often in this reddit system? 1.Why aren't you promoting /a2/ and posting there too? 2.Why are you trying to decide for others about the ID when you know how to avoid it? 3.Why aren't you promoting TOR for every "anonymity" concerned user? 4.Why are you taking advantage of your ID right now in a multi-post debate? You lack any kind of honesty, coherence and good intention.

>>40918 What a surprise the anti-yuri spammer is pro-sharty and anti-ID

>>40902 fine, fine. i think the aspect of 4c i appreciated without being aware is that any given reply might as well exist in perfect isolation, punctuated by very rare "fuck off, that some other anon said that" when needed. it just worked. why id don't make real difference for noise already has been said. Also your ID is polluted by a letter, while you're speaking to a purebred digitcel. Time to reconsider your act, don't you think?

>>37531 yes, finally the famous 4chan hacker group is dead

>>40913 All that stupid samefagging for days is blinding

>>40952 >why id don't make real difference for noise already has been said The level of spam has decreased significantly in key threads since the change, so no.

>>40966 that just, like, your opinion man all i'm seeing is a smaller board with decent moderation being cleaner

>>40951 I'm surprised anti Yuri menhera spammer that also tweaks out about jannies isn't more recognized when the usual ones are brought up, I'm guessing they have more public support from tradfags so they're a little more accepted

here is my iq I think you should all shut up, and spend your time thinking instead of talking All of the arguments posted today have been gotcha trash: "bedditor", "spammer", Speaking to the crowd behind you instead of the man infront of you is the cardinal sin of being a huge bitch

>>40945 >1.Why aren't you promoting /a2/ and posting there too? I probably will if 4chan is not coming back. Besides you would just accuse me of splintering /a/, or every time I mentioned /a2/, shilling other boards. >2.Why are you trying to decide for others about the ID when you know how to avoid it? I have to accept IDs if I want to post here. Others decided for me. I'm not deciding anything. What a dishonest argument. >3.Why aren't you promoting TOR for every "anonymity" concerned user? It's not about true anonymity, but the change in posting dynamics. The TOR argument is bullshit anyway. Any glowie would get enough data even from temporary IDs to datamine your posts. >4.Why are you taking advantage of your ID right now in a multi-post debate? Am I? It's not like I can post without ID. >You lack any kind of honesty, coherence and good intention. Now you're just trying to attack me as a person because you don't like my public post history. How do I lack honesty? Because you think I'm a samefagger but don't want to admit it? What a fucking dishonest bullshit konckout argument. >>40957 But IDs are on. All samefagging would be exposed?

>>40951 Of course.

>>40547 Friend, I got permabanned from all boards without a proper reason, no link to the post on the ban page, and the appeal was ignored. I didn't even get no as an answer, I never got an answer. I also got a lot of 3 days bans for racism on /pol/ out of all fucking places

>>40922 >Is that why the most glowing board on 4chan had IDs? The fact that the two boards that have them are the one infested by glowies and the one infested with jeet shitcoin shills tells me that they're the effect and not the cause and using those boards would probably be worse if you couldn't see the bad actor 1PBTIDs and samefags.

>>40997 >I have to accept IDs if I want to post here. You do, but no one is forcing you to post here. Fuck off if you don't like it. /a2/ is right there.

>>40951 Because you and your despicable ilks shart out your KUSO taste in every SINGLE fucking thread when there is a single stinky whiff of yuri bait. Its getting incredibly annoying to the point its obvious your /u/nwelcome kind are just spamming your shit in /a/ instead of just using your own boars dedicated for yuri shit. Seriously. Your shit will be tolerable if not for the everyday spam specially during the latter months before half got nuked.

>>41010 OK BO said it was a temporary experiment. Do I have to assume it's concluded?

>>40997 >I have to accept IDs if I want to post here. Others decided for me. Nobody is forcing you to NOT USE TOR or post here instead of /a2/. I'm not seeing you on /a2/ Period.

>>41022 >Nobody is forcing you to NOT USE TOR or post here instead of /a2/. So is it ok to change my ID all the time? Can I just get an ID change button? Using TOR is so inconvenient. Maybe I would have to fill out more captchas or take other hits to posting comfort. Using TOR alone attracts glowies. >I'm not seeing you on /a2/ You can't see anything because we still don't have board wide visible accounts. Also posting is unstable and slow as fuck.

>>37531 Is that an Acidman reference?

>>40921 Aww what Neato Now I just need to find out how to browse the 700 or so boards that aren't on the home page or top bar

>>41130 Nevermind, found it with my big brain

>>40547 I get warned fairly often for innocuous stuff but not banned unless I get into a shitflinging contest or engage in off-topic but only sometimes.

>>40547 I got b& twice for storytimeing back in the earlier days of it happening, before storytimes were a more permanent fixture on the board And once for for doing a 'test' post to see which altcode symbols worked on 4chan Oh and once years back I caught a three day ban for posting in a One Piece thread on /co/

Anime discussion is serious fucking business so I'm in favor of IDs, and yes, that includes talking about how cute my wife Chino is and how much I want to fuck little girls. There's one caveat though, IDs work best in a fast environment where they constantly change, and this place is considerably slower than 4chan. Hell, I don't think I've even seen a thread get bumpedobearff yet so IDs kind of stick forever in every thread for every anime. It would probably be a good thing if they had a time limit as well as changing from thread to thread, just to avoid them becoming too close to tripcodes.

>retards arguing about board splitting and IDs I'm glad the revival of 8ch also means a resurrection of the /a/ vs /animu/ drama despite all the people involved with it not being on this site.

>>39295 what the fuck do you mean by "parasocial relationship"

>>40996 >108 verbal IQ BAHAHAHA, like hell I'm going to listen to your niggerlicious low IQ caveman babble you nonverbal freak

>>40762 Are politicians posting on 8/a/

>>41028 >So is it ok to change my ID all the time? Can I just get an ID change button? Of course, but you're the one implementing it. The option of an ID for the board already exists. > Using TOR is so inconvenient. See above. Stop pushing your burden on others. >You can't see anything because we still don't have board wide visible accounts. Well, even including my posts there You have more posts under that ID than the whole /a2/ board. That's all I need to know.

This dude knows how to use VPNs, is regularly using them in the thread (so IDs don't even affect him), but he still insists on driving drama over IDs despite everybody else having come to the conclusion independently that they are positive for the website. When people criticize his bad faith arguments, he uses particular epithets that are not regularly used by other people on 8chan. He also started HIS OWN anime board elsewhere, /a2/, which lacks the IDs that he claims to hate, yet he refuses to go have his conversations there. Instead, he insists on trying to change how this board operates, insinuating himself into meta conversations through the use of deceptive means like pretending to be other people with a VPN to astroturf his opinions. And strangest of all, he can't seem to figure out why he's universally hated.

>>38326 >I didn't wish for this to happen but you have always treated me like shit. Rangebans, awful moderation, user unfriendliness Basically. Funny to see how the internet was happy when it all ended. Place got so annoying trying to not make autists mad over tiny little shit. Time to move on.

>>41294 >. He also started HIS OWN anime board elsewhere, /a2/, which lacks the IDs that he claims to hate, It turns out a few (being optimistic) samefaggers aren't enough to maintain a board /a/, maybe the few pathological posters trashing the board aren't the bread and butter of /a/...

>>40547 Global Rule 1 was a catchall blanket reason. It wasn't like the old days when it was near impossible to get banned. I went from 2005 to 2009 before I saw my first and it was my bad. Last year alone I was tagged 11 times and this year before it ended 3 times.

>>40996 Low verbal IQ in comparison to others could be a indicator of dyslexia btw.

>>41294 >despite everybody else having come to the conclusion independently that they are positive for the website. Stop trying to farm a consensus, you slimy little piece of shit. It takes some nerve to imply that everyone who disagrees with you must be a single person. There's plenty of backlash AND support.

>>41435 >(1) Aww, you went to all the effort to change your IP just to reply to me...again. Only for me to filter your new VPN...again.

>mfffff mmmm puhaaaa >quit it anon stupid faggot I know you're just switching IP- >MNMMMMMHPHHH mmmmmmmm pwaaaa >mmmm >shut up loser this is the first time I'm kissing you now pucker up and- >?????mmgmgmgmf[pphhhhh >ahhhhh~ >heh doesn't feel too good when I change IPs on you now doe- >mmppphhhhhhpphhhhh >*kiss kiss kiss*

>>41488 See if I ever posted something like this in my life I would not want anyone in that thread to know which posts are mine

>>41488 Heh, I always knew the menheras liked yuri

Niggas will make genuine posts like >>38263 and >>38292 and then post gay-ass shit like this >>41488 without flinching. This ID shit is scary

>>37531 Honestly? Now that I've come to this site, I'm enjoying it more. It's cleaner. 4channel.org was INFESTED with normalniggers and glowniggers. I'm sticking with 8channel.moe, desu.

The loss of half-chan, along with other things in my life made me realize how alone I really am

>>41527 >Ebonics

Man modern /a/ sucked but it sucks even more how the rest of the internet sucks even more. The board here is all flavor of the month shit and popular things which I can discuss anywhere. 4chan /a/ at least still had smaller threads on other series, chapter dumps, story times, and translation threads. This is still better than kiwifarms I guess where there are more threads talking about hating anime and the manga/anime thread is all seasonal shit with constant bitching from people who hate seasonal shit but refuse to watch anything else. Anyone who thinks that place would make a great new home is dumb.

>>41562 It's time for us all to start a plan to improve our lives, anon.

>>41505 I want to be able to lewdpost and then seriouspost without any noticeable loss in credibility

>>41586 I'm kinda feeling out the flow of the board still before I get back to dumping manga

>>41602 Don't shit where you eat, then. Or cum.

>>41610 Just because I like girls kissing doesn't mean I'm inherently wrong about unrelated fields though

>>41614 No actually it means you are right and based about everything else

>>41610 Nothing wrong with the latter. Sometimes I will casually check for replies to my serious posts while I'm in the middle of gooning if I'm waiting for a panda page to load or something.

>>41614 It makes you the most human of all of us Probably more brave than every firefighter during 9/11

>>41562 >>41590 But what does "improve" mean? Getting a bitch? Nah I'm good, 2d for lief

>>41590 Yeah...things change sometimes....

>>41614 I have no idea what your problem is.

>>41527 >>41505 >>41602 <oh you little slut you're so worried about being identified aren't you <you constantly worry about someone caring so much about who you are don't you <can't handle a little attention anon? <are you worried you'll get punished for being a bad girl and spamming shit posts and getting made fun of or ignored? <look at you being such a stupid whore spamming your thoughts begging for (you)s, somebody needs to be taught a lesson <oh don't worry, even if you never post or switch your ips, just know I'll always be here waiting, and you'll keep coming back like the little (you) hungry little bitch you know you are <cry all you like to the jannies and other anons about your little anonymous reputation, we all know what kind of retarded onahole you want to be

>>41638 My problem is that you aren't posting more images like that

>>41602 Nigger no one gives a fuck about your "credibility" unless you're some sort of lunatic with 50 posts of garbage per thread

>>41586 Be the change you want to see in the world. Make a thread about something you wanna chat about, then give me a few days to look at it. Seriously, this WAS how I discovered pretty much everything in every hobby. Without 4chan I dunno what to do, ask the AI I guess. MAL is good for cataloguing stuff but not recommending stuff.

>>41630 >But what does "improve" mean? Figuring out what you want to become and achieve and taking the small steps every day of doing so. >Getting a bitch? Where do you think you are? Of course not. >>41635 I'm well aware of things changing for the worse. But not doing anything will make it even worse than that. Frankly I've spent too much time shitposting today instead of getting shit together, but gotta start somewhere. Even reading a good book for 15 minutes is better for you than reading some menhera's shitposts for hours on end.

>>41527 Is this what anti-ID anons are really scared of? Just don't shitpost within the same thread or stop giving a fuck if someone is going to discount your serious posts because of your sense of humor.

>>41639 This the fresh meat? I'm next.

>>41673 Thanks for telling me that anon. I genuinely really needed it.

>>41644 Nah fuck them I'm not going to put in the effort to try to fix people's normal fag taste. Fuck this thread now just turned into a loli porn dump and while I don't hate that shit it just shows this place also sucks. I want the few threads I liked back

>>41741 No problem anon. We'll make it though.

Stop gooning in my thread You kids these days... No respect!

>>37531 You should've been more careful on the playground equipment!

>>41875 HUAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Good thread

>>38263 Halfchan /a/ was getting really bad, yeah. menheraphrenic spammers and ritual shitposters, as well as the Sharty and other /qa/ diaspora kind of had an unspoken bounty on /a/ since /a/ was always considered the "holy grail" of 4chan boards to tear down and make indistinguishable from /v/ and /tv/, since /a/ was always considered "overmoderated". Soyteen raid discords got leaked on /bant/ back in like... 2018? and they were coordinating raids specifically on targeted boards not with wojaks, but with low quality threads that are technically on topic and technically not rule breaking if you were completely oblivious to the fact that they were coordinated by shitpost cults, so they capitalized on retarded jannies giving them the benefit of the doubt and not doing their job. Most low quality "my shonenshit is better than your shonenshit" threads? Made and perpetuated by discord cults, naturally bumped by shonentards. Most variations of "OLD GOOD NEW BAD"/"NEW GOOD OLD BAD" threads in the last 5 years? Made by one third worlder from /tv/ arguing with himself 24/7 and playing both sides for five years straight. Seemingly normal webm threads that just get derailed into flamewar battlegrounds for seasonal SAKUGA and seasonal QUALITY 15 posts in? After a while you follow image hashes in the archives and realize that a single shitposter would often have 5 low quality bait/shitpost threads up at a time and the same person would create variations of these threads every fucking day for months, years even.

>>41954 That probably explains half of all Friren's hate threads, and that retarded "native isekai" shit that was forced.

>>41203 The reality is you should realize most of the people you're conversing with are like this and that if you think this is something to be ashamed of you've always been in the wrong neighborhood.

>>42050 Meant for >>41505 but whatever close enough

>>38263 >I hope you don't get better But I like yotsuba...

>>38263 The site became mainstream after 2016 and a second wave of it after covid, it wasn't the place we used to love before 2014, after 2020 newfags just went there to be racist just for the sake of being racist and have a place to vent out, since they obviously couldn't do it in their hugboxes Also if you never noticed the moderation was so bad that jannies literally made shitpost threads and stood camping their thread to try to ban anyone calling their thread, and their blatant shitposting thread would stay up until another janny saw the thread and deleted it since it was obvious shitposting

>>41979 Even for 'hating the popular thing out of pure contrarianism' the Friren hate felt super artificial

Whats with all the porn? I don't mind it but is there no rule here against it?

>>42155 >2020 newfags I remember when "newfag" was used to refer to normalfags who joined when the site went mainstream around 2006-2008.

>>42184 Nudity is fine but men need to be spoilered

I'll be honest, I want 4chan to come back in large part because I don't want the sharties to win. Fuck them and fuck their hack. Everything I've seen about them has made me hate them, they seem like the worst and shittiest sort of Z-samas who badly needed to be beaten up IRL. I don't want them to have the last word on 4chan. It wouldn't be right. Even if I stayed here on 8moe I'd want 4chan to come back, just to stick a finger in the eyes of those assholes.

The truth is that there has been many waves of newfags all over the years, 2014 with gamergate, 2016 with trump, 2020 with covid and i think 2022 or 2023 with twitter, whatever it was the year where greentext post and 4chan posts in general became popular to post on twitter

>>40647 >Do people seriously give a shit about IDs Yes, IDs maked /dbs/ threads a x100 times more readable, the ultimate proof that IDs are for the better. Anyone who complains about IDs is a samefagging/falseflagging shitposter.

>>42283 whoops, meant for >>42232

>>42280 Shutting down was 4chan was also a shit idea. They might end up killing off image board culture. Soyjak is a garbage website and if that's what becomes the "new 4chan" then it will turn away any possible newfags.

I prefer the genki 4-chan

>>42297 Seems like IDs should be reserved for shitpost threads then.

>>42243 This time around there is no "back" to go to...But its ok, this seems more fun at the moment.

>>42297 >change the rest of the board for the sake of a few cancerous threads Further proof /dbs/ should be nuked entirely and Id supporters are a part of those shitholes.

>>42184 This site just seems to be flavor of the month and porn which is somehow worse than 4chan /a/ as spam is still spam. I do like the ID system

>>42402 Chat logs are on 4chan and it shown they knew about how shit the dbs threads were, but they gave up and let it spread to the rest of the board

Now that I've been here for some time, the idea of a slower and less shitposty /a/ where you can post naked lolis freely does feel pretty interesting. Hiro please feel free to take your sweet time fixing 4chan.

>>42531 I hope the tourists stay away forever and we can go back to the pre-2016 days.

I just want posting speed back, or at least close. I wouldn't mind 4chan being down forever IF 8Moe or some other chan absorbed the bulk of Anons and we got back to normal posting speeds. As it stands people feel spread out across multiple chans right now and it's the worst of both worlds. I want discussion and shitposting back. Fuck I hope Hiro fixes the site soon.

>>40547 Frequent mandatory vacations are the entire reason the archives are as popular as they are.

>>42554 >pre-2014 ftfy*

>>42597 >pre-2012 fifh*

>>42232 >>42283 I started browsing 4chan in 2007 and was called a newfag + lurk moar for 3 three years. It feels weird that my wave of newfaggotry didn't change the board culture that much, if at all, compared to all the other waves of newfags.

>>42346 That's a damn cute Megu

>>42184 >2 : NSFW content is generally allowed to be posted (e.g. 2D female nudity is okay unspoiled), but sex, dicks, and extreme content should be spoilered generally

>>40547 I dindu nuffin

>>40547 >>42695 forgot pic I posted a fucking meme with a fully-clothed woman making fun of Americans

>>42567 I have never met a sane archiveposter.

>>40547 I remember when the last Awesome Games Done Quick speedrun event took place we were all having a good time at /v/ doing the usual shitposting about the ugly nonpassing trannies (besides shitposting about the overall trainwreck those events are). Then like two days in, the Zelda BOTW run turned out to have a passing hot tranny as its runner and everyone started lustposting about it and praising the runner. Not even twenty minutes in a malding jealous janny or mod gave nearly every single anon doing those latter kinds of posts a 1 week ban for "offtopic", myself included. The threads became half deserted after that and I missed on the threads for the remaining 5 days. Then about a week or a month later during the European Speedrunning Assembly event, on day one, I made a mere 5 word post making a UOOOH joke about the design of a character, without even posting an image. I got a 1 week off topic ban. Ever since then I stopped posting altogether and watched the board get consumed by garbage threads, it was all really unfair.

>>39957 no

>>37531 I've been happier ever since.

>>42306 >killing off image board culture Been dead for years. The nips who we stole it from will still keep it alive regardless of what happens to the gaijin futaba knockoffs.

>>37531 sleep tight, sweet princess

>>40404 this, they even protected ruggarel

>>42806 The gaslighting transexual ANIMAL are all disgusting and vindictively jealous cretins who will try to take everything under the sun. Always remember They try to make Ranma as trans, only for the fans to kick them out They try to make Astolfo as trans, only for the fans to point out they're disgusting They try to make Venti as trans, only for the fans to laugh at them. Then they try to make Bridget as trans, only for it creator to buck in and give them inch, allowing them to have a mile. Never allow the jealous disgusting transexual animal into your fandom.

>>40547 I kept getting banned off /tv/ for "off-topic" again and again but the thread was never included in the past year. After seeing the "private reason" tab I guess some mod was just pissed at me for not liking his favourite show or some shit.

>>40547 I used to get banned from /bant/ a lot in 2017-2018ish for posting Riko lewds, with the reason given being "no porn dumps" even though posting porn =/= dumping porn, and the mod that kept banning me only went after Riko, not any other loli I'd post. Since I_AM_ABIB was the big boogeyman mod on /bant/ all the time, it became a boardwide injoke that Riko was his daughterfu/waifu and people would just constantly post Riko porn while taunting ABIB.

>>43843 Speaking as a tranny faggot I fucking hate the trend. For whatever reason we need to paint the world in our sift pastel colours instead of suffering our psychosis in silence like adults

>>40547 Basically whenever you happen to insult some mod nigger's favorite eceleb you can expect to get banned. There was some thread of a nigger dying at some point, so I asked who the fuck that nigger is, I got like 5 separate bans at once because apparently it made them really, really mad. While I can at least somewhat rulefag for those bans (then again you'd have to ban 80% of all posters if you would) I would regularly get bans for "false reports". My favorite one was when some faggot decided to split a /vg/ thread into one with scat in the OP, so I reported that literal shit, but that got me a 3 day vacation instead. So I never bothered afterwards. They want people to wallow in literal shit, let them.

>>41586 I made one days ago. You're welcome

>>40547 Used to get banned all the time for posting normally in loli threads and occasionally arguing with LRD, including a few permabans. Also got a perma once for going to /h/ and saying I wish Fakku and Irodori died, that was funny. These days I just don't bother posting in loli threads anywhere, especially after realizing that ever so often an obsessed mod will ctrl+F for "cunny" on every board and ban people even on archived threads. What the fuck.

>>40547 I got multiple 3 day bans in 4/a/ by calling out AI and solo leveling shills. Revolting stuff.

>>40945 not that anon, but >1.Why aren't you promoting /a2/ and posting there too? i actually am and plan on posting there if the id-s aren't removed. please all /a/nons who want to post on an anonymous imageboard, come to >>>/a2/ or >>>/animu/! dont be afraid to make a thread or post, even if activity is low right now. most of us are still waiting to see how badly /a/ will be handled, but i don't see myself staying here for much longer. i'll post on these alternatives or not at all. if i want discussion with id-s, i'll just go to plebbit or twitter which has much greater activity. there's also smuglo.li/kohi and prolikewoah.com/animu and a few other altchans i'll be checking. >2.Why are you trying to decide for others about the ID when you know how to avoid it? why are mods trying to force their opinions on /a/nons? the moderator named justwannahelp already admitted to pushing for id-s here >>43529, despite lots of immediate backlash in the banner thread. >3.Why aren't you promoting TOR for every "anonymity" concerned user? i am. if any /a/nons want to post without feeling judged for changing their opinion or want to express controversial opinions without tainting their post history, especially in long running generals, visit torproject.org. using tor browser is the best way to browse the web anonymously. 4.Why are you taking advantage of your ID right now in a multi-post debate? not that anon and it's my first post in this thread, but i'm sure you'll label me 1 post per this id samefag and discard my opinion because you don't agree. good stuff. /pol/ and /biz/ having been botted and astroturfed to absolute hell while having id-s enabled sure makes a good argument for them! i, too, want to sockpuppet with multiple id-s to make my viewpoint seem more popular and organic than it really is. disabling id-s would suck since anons would just have to use their brains and end up filtering out all my spam, and will do so automatically and efficiently after a while. thank you for defending for my interests!

>>41562 You are not alone Anon, we are alone together.

>>41488 now this is the kind of post that i come back here for despite the plebbit mods

>>39589 not only did ubisoft lose, but so did the person that wrote that.

>>38590 God I hope I never see another solo leveling thread in my life. Fucking nightmare

>>44466 you VILL have ids you VILL have 100% organic gook leveling thread with samefagging 1pptid shills and you VILL like it

>>44466 who forced you to read those i had less complains about hafuchan than a lot anons and i have a feeling it's because I just browsed exclusively what few things i was interested in

>>40547 I once found myself banned off of /vg/ for something I don't even know. the only explanation is that I got caught up in a range ban.

>>40547 My country got rangebanned for over a year. I always got hit with bans meant for other anons though, the most memorable one was when I got banned for "posting CP on /tv/" despite never even going to that board or posting anything remotely close to CP.

>>40547 yes that shit happened all the time on /a/, I think the problem is half the jannies and mods are neckbeards with some rigid idea about what posts should be like who could give a fuck about board culture or heaven forbid, fun, and also there have been tons of cases of them abusing their power just against posts they don't like. pro tip to neckbeards thinking of becoming mods/janitors - the point of moderation is to weed out spam and other board ruining posts. if your idea of improving the board involves banning all x category of posts or y type of posters, you probably shouldn't be a fucking mod or janitor.

>>44295 > despite lots of immediate backlash in the banner thread. And immediate support.

Good morning i can't wait to leave.

>>40547 Yes, the 4cuck mods are power abusing faggots. I've been banned before for 'furry porn' on /v/ when I posted a pic of a furry girl that wasn't even sexual or lewd, in fact it was her concept art for the game.

>>44722 If you see Troll post/Off-topic ban it's a Solo Leveling janny aka duelgundam. He spams AI, hates trigger, DM (because it was aired during SL), original FLCL and loves isekai so you have high chance to see him in such threads + all mecha threads. He's a janny with multiple IPs. While it's funny to join his side in Solo Leveling threads and bait crossboarders, he's incredible annoying. You literally have no tools to report rogue janny like him. And nothing stops you from becoming the one and turn /a/ into your discord.

>>42280 Nobody won. Zero sum game. Jaks get... fuck all. Nothing. In the worst case they'll lose the windmill to fight and it's a slow death. 4chan, if it even comes back, will return in a more crippled state. Everyone else gets refugees. Every forum smugposting about it gets waves upon waves of obnoxious, attention-seeking menheras left with no containment zone. Everyone eats shit. Boy do I love current year.

>>39126 Where did it all go so wrong

>>42280 BELIEVE

>>44708 I had one like that shown up at random once too, funniest one is still some guy having multiple bans for posting, I assume, gore or porn in every fortnite thread on /v/ for like 7 years straight. I saw his bans ton of times over the years, he would always go ">fortnite thread" and attach deleted image to his posts.

>>44295 >disabling id-s would suck since anons would just have to use their brains and end up filtering out all my spam, and will do so automatically and efficiently after a while. thank you for defending for my interests! >use their brains i have bad news for you..

>>37531 Just hold out for one more week, surely

>>40547 i got banned from /tg/40kg for offtopic multiple times while being on topic talking about paint, miniatures and such i'm convinced we had a rogue jannie that hated 40k and fucked with the thread by banning what wasn't shitpost

Is there a 8chanX ?

>>39262 >>39295 You know what time it is? To learn to admit when you are wrong. If you have a shit take or in general have been wrong, it is cool that you can anonymously be wrong and learn. So you can be cool and say "You are right, my bad. Thank you for correcting me" instead of trying to somehow avoid it. It also does good for your ego and mental health to have a safe environment to fail without serious consequences. Just important to not lie to yourself. That will lead you into baka path where you become pathological liar to yourself and develop other bad habits because of it. If you just feel the need to reply in general to someone's effortpost, say something nice. Doesn't hurt to be nice and polite from time to time. Gives you a warm feeling and might make someone very happy. Have a good one.

>>44847 You didn't beat the game

>>38263 I just don't understand why the mods/jannies wanted to actively make every board worse. It was the same shit in /v/ in /vt/, /lit etc

>>44847 https://greasyfork.org/fi/scripts/533067-fullchan-x

>>39262 This. How can I admit something embarrassing in a thread and continue to use it?

>>44896 You're right anon, thank you for your inspiring words It's time for me to grow as a person. Instead of wallowing I have decided to take action and do something about my social and confidence issues. From now on, I will change my ID every time I am proven wrong

>>44896 I honestly always did that anyway, the biggest problem is that I just kinda feel like shit about making two posts in a row now, my brain just tells me "Stop! It's fl00ding." even when it's not. As far as trolling and shitposting goes ids have potential for new forms of that: >lose an argument >check previous posts made by user >aha! you're an [thing]fag! no wonder you're so dumb! >argument is all about [thing] now instead of actual topic >derail complete Not even mentioning how it goes against judging post solely by it's own merit, spirit of anonymity and super easily bypassed as long as you're cool with leaving a long trail of (1)s

>>44896 nice bait tr*nny >>44918 because lots of mods get into this position because they get off on being powertripping faggots, same as this board's mods with all the >muh trigger words >muh if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear strawmanning

>>44929 >>44929 Thats much better

>>44519 I didn't after the first two when I noticed that it was just one-two scizos. It just unnerved me how reddit-like the threads were with the constant shilling/praising, and how mentally ill the person seemed. They did show up in other threads sometimes as well, reminding me of their existence

>>44956 >the biggest problem is that I just kinda feel like shit about making two posts in a row now, my brain just tells me "Stop! It's fl00ding." even when it's not. That's my hurdle as well. Responding to something farther up the thread and then commenting on something near the bottom with no posts in-between, yuck Or worse when you're having a lot of fun in a thread and replying to every post so there's a stretch where every second post is you Little things like that is why I didn't have my trip in all the time.

>>44896 so true. anonymous boards really make it all a game. i have variety of pre-made responses and reaction pics just for the occasion when I get owned by facts and logic and I look forward to deploying them, though anons rarely live up to this

>>44896 Terrible post. Kill yourself.

>>45102 you need to go back

>>45133 to where?

>>45102 >>44896 go back

>>44722 >complaining about moderation >posts and examples of the mods doing their job properly for once

Sure is weird banning 2 certain countries brought the usage of "tranime" to 0. >>37531 Killed by incompetence. Any revival is going to be necromancy.

>>45227 israel and who?

chan mods were either biased or couldn't even give a rats ass to actually do their jobs (FOR FREE). Twitter screencap threads, blatant troll threads, menheras infesting every general .. the mods did NOTHING about these. Even on boards that were practically ghost towns by the time the site finally got put out of it's misery.

Just don't be a fag, don't be menheraphrenic, dress up before posting, stop whining about it, write cool posts, stop worrying, who cares about your posts anyway, just be more normal, accept being a menhera faggot attention grabber, you're too weird just be a cool guy, be consistent, stop filling up the thread with your posts, post whatever you want. Nobody's watching, look it's his 2nd post, stop caring it doesn't matter, what a lame ass, i don't give a shit stop complaining, just be yourself, be anonymous, what are you a crazy person, a shitposter, don't switch up your opinion, he's all over the place he doesn't know what he's talking about, look, look at him, stop caring and post what you think, don't think like that it's pathetic, just leave if you don't like it, no fags allowed, kill yourself if you don't fit in, who are you quoting. >doesn't know how to greentext <what the fuck is that How do i redtext.

Total Menhera Love

>>45227 >Any revival is going to be necromancy Like Vine into Tiktok Brrrrrrr

>>42280 >their hack They already turned on the hacker apparently and are having their servers clogged up with tons of newfags. Here is the closest to having won and there's still lots of bitching. >>42297 /dbs/ is no longer a den of lunacy?

>>41562 Same, there's literally nowhere else to go on the internet its all just shitty mainstream social media sites.

>>44929 If the dev is here, could you also add hovering over files to open them and have the thread watcher tell you the unseen reply count/whether you got a (You)?

>>45367 LMAO It's an actual thing >>>/a2/

>>44764 >You literally have no tools to report rogue janny like him. Well, you did, the feedback form, but if the mod you were trying to report was someone with influence then it basically meant you painted a target on your back.

The real reason some people, pure and simple, want IDs gone is so they can samefag. I used to samefag. A slight amount but I did it. IDs are stopping me. I've almost samefagged on accident a couple times. Boy would that have been embarassing. Yes to per-thread IDs. No to word filters. >>42297 This. /dbs/ are still faggots but at least IDs took the edge off.

Is there some kind of 4chanx equivalent though?

>>42634 Another 2007 newfag here. I would love to imagine we were somehow a more conscientious group willing to shut up and lurk more, but probably what actually happened was that we somehow hit a mysterious magic sweet spot where there were enough of us to be noticeable but not enough to ruin everything for the oldfags.

>>45227 >Sure is weird banning 2 certain countries Sharty use Tuxler and they don't care about bans. IP country ban is cancer and 8chan is after VPNs too now.

>>37531 Sorry Yotsuba, we have a new mascot now.

>>42634 >>46499 4chan's Silent Generation

>>41562 >>>/animu/ if you want 4/a/ culture without tranny jannies

>>44356 >You are not alone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEMaH0I8TQ0

>>46606 Stop making new boards retards. We already HAVE alternatives. >smuglo.li The original 8/a/ before 8chan died. https://smuglo.li/a/catalog.html >PLW/animu/ The original /animu/, which broke off from 8/a/ due to moderation drama. https://prolikewoah.com/animu/

>>46620 smugloli is run like a prison and a bot will automatically ban you for 12 hours if you forget to capitalize your sentence.

>>46632 Yeah, that's how 8/a/ was run and why /animu/ exists. If you want quality with no IDs, you go there. If you want funposting with no IDs, you go to PLW. We already have two existing alternatives (among a myriad of others like wap). These other boards are a waste of time and space.

>>46606 >post-2016 4/a/ "culture" No thanks.

>6 pph Broski...this is dead IRC tier

>>43843 >Label trap character as trans >Label trap as a slur Fucking hated this trend. Woke me up to what a censorious cancer they are. Before I barely ever heard of them.

>>42280 I like that the sharty is kinda like old /b/ tier chaos, it is crazy as hell seeing they have an actual board for raiding and people actually participate on it. But the rest of the site really does suck ass as it really is like every board is +b. polb, vb, ab, r9kb. Makes it unusable and total shit.

>>46666 >I like that the sharty is kinda like old /b/ tier chaos only superficially, you should quickly realize they're merely emulating and it's devoid of substance because they're not doing it naturally for fun it's missing all the simple fun thread like "can you guys look over my glass of milk while i'm away" and such also it's a malware plain and simple, scan your ports and try to execute javascript on your machine you shouldn't go there unless you know how to protect against these, and for the javascript thing you won't be able to post if it doesn't run

>I hate this shithole They said. >I wish it would die so I would be free They said.

>>37970 I don't really like how boards here work tbqh I wish there was a limited number of boards and live threads like it is on 4chan. Seeing threads never dying feels weird.

>>46704 Go outside and find real friends

>>46715 No.

>>46736 Or be productive or something. If youre an artist its time to stop procrastinating

>>46666 I don't really understand how some people are saying the sharty “feels" like old /b/, because I didn't get that feeling at all there. Sure, it has some similarities, but it doesn't get close to how I remember /b/ back then. It feels more akin to how /qa/ was around 2019-2020 –although I'm saying this as someone who would occasionally lurk /qa/'s back then out of curiosity to see how that board was doing–, and I would argue a lot of that is because of the immigrants who went there to shitpost (like me). >>42280 The hacker, while a shartyfag, seems to be more of an actual original /qa/fag, so that makes me feel a bit better about it, since being hacked by an avarage shartyfag would be extremely crushing lol. I believe he did it for the lulz. In my opinion, Hiro and the mods were rather lucky the hacker wasn't that malicious.

Yotsuba is cute and I would sleep with her.

>>46796 >seems to be more of an actual original /qa/fag Probably /a/ too

>>46666 >I like that the sharty is kinda like old /b/ tier chaos, Not in the slightest. There was a method to the madness of old 4/b/ that was enforced by an intentionally opaque culture which allowed for self-moderating via bullying outsiders, and actual mods like Snacks who ruled with an iron hammer. It was controlled chaos that allowed diamonds in a pile of shit to be found every once and a while. No one has found any diamonds on 4ch in a long time.

>>37877 All they should do is just spruce up the security a bit. The rest of the site is fine

4chan was just too big. Too many different "parties" using it for purposes other than just honest, genuine discussion.

>>46704 I do have a lot more freedom here with how much slower it is. It's nice.

>>45508 >They already turned on the hacker apparently What happened? I could tell from the way he used Miku and Touhou instead of wojaks that he wasn't one of them and is probably an oldfag.

>>47105 or some glowies using "chan reference material #24"

>>37531 Of course not. Get well soon!

>>47105 From what someone was saying in a /b/ thread iirc, he's 'exactly the kind of person sharty hates' which was unknown to them or something.

>>47105 Some shartyfags became disappointed because he was avatarfagging with Himiko and he also didn't feel as one of them.

>>44896 It's fine to simply stop replying when you realize you were wrong. It depends on the tone of the argument, the other guy isn't gonna apologize if you were trading insults even after realizing a mistake.

>>47105 He used the 'jak avatar in kiwi farms. I may be mistaken, but other anons mentioned before that whole pro/anti hacker bullshit on sharty's board was just him attention whoring and discord drama.

/a/ is just filled with uncompromising neurotics and people who are highly arrogant, kinda like how women behave. The endless amounts of splintering and catfighting amongst the different /a/ splinters is really something. Reminds me of tumblr sometimes

>>45227 Based if true >>45250 Another scum of a country that also starts with the letter i

>>47371 Ireland?

>>44956 >I just kinda feel like shit about making two posts in a row now <he needed ids to come to this realization

Does 8chan have proper archive sites similar to Desuarchive? I'm hoping to storytime manga here but I wonder if it worth doing it if 8chan doesn't have automatic archives and the fact that the ongoing storytimes on /a/ didn't continue here.

>>47403 No but your thread will never die anyway. Most threads in the catalog are from several years ago

>>47338 autistic/menhera console wars between fandoms and groups transcend gender

>>47414 the cattiness on /a/ reminds me so much of old /cgl/ and /pt/.

>>47407 Not anymore. The last thread in the catalog was bumped 4 days ago.

>>37531 https://youtu.be/GJleW4TCQM0 then let my heart be hardened..

>>47458 Oh right, I hadn't checked since the first few days. Has there been one that died yet though?

>>46890 >4chan was just too big. Too many different "parties" using it for purposes other than just honest, genuine discussion. That is the inevitable problem when something becomes too mainstream. The best we can do is to do gatekeeping in our new home for as long as possible. If we fail to do gatekeeping properly, it's over.

>>47493 The catalog was already full a couple days ago, so pretty sure a lot more than one have died.

>>47526 the same people who leaked in the old ones are going to spoonfeed them here too after they realize this is the refugee center if you want to gatekeep you would have to make it on darkweb or some shit so normalfags would be too scared to use it

>>44763 Jannies are nuts about furries and furry-adjacent stuff. Fucking /co/ was walking around a minefield, because western cartoons are dead as fuck people only want to lustpost over the litterbox comics mom or the helluvaboss goth wolf

>>47526 Gatekeeping? You just got here you dumb fuck

>>40951 Huh. One of the menheras from /a/ made their way here. How are you coping, menhera?

What the fuck is a menhera? Is it some weird new word filter >4cuck newfag

>>45209 kys boot licking nigger

>doesnt know what is a menhera You are a newfag to /a/ related media, retard

>>47625 >It's da 4cucks!! They MADE us turn against the hacker for posting tra-... c-c-anikinime... O Kek

>>40547 Bans used to me a rare thing for me to get pre-2016, I only got them when I was being an idiot and blatantly derailing threads. Now I get a 3 day vacation all the time for the most asinine of reasons. Fucking just replying to a slightly off-topic thread on /tv/ would get me a 3 day global. Wasn't really an issue since I would reset my router, but something clearly changed and jannys were getting a bit too trigger happy. I hope this whole experience humbles them a bit.

>>47650 You aren't inspiring confidence in getting a rare deserving b& hammer

>>37531 Get well soon!

>>46589 what did you expect after all this push for IDs? they were gonna ban VPNs sooner or later

>>44722 >>47650 >Nooo why do mods do their jobs instead of letting me menherapost!?!? Kill yourself troon.

>>47807 Lol, this site 404s on me without it from any device, I guess that's it.

Owner of the /a2/ board here. My password is 1234. Username is avidfan. Feel free to do whatever you want.

>>44044 >protecting his daughterfu/waifu wtf based mod

>>42280 you already lost even if 4chinz comes back, also even for 4cucks the hack was a good thing you shouldn't defend the tranny jannies, maybe you're one of the shitposters and that's why you're mad?

4chan will never recover from this unironically. Let's say it's gone for 2 months. When it comes back, not only will the site be different, but the culture too. This is 4chan's great reset moment.

>>42297 The ID’s are hilarious, they outed /opg/‘s local shitposting menhera yet again and when he realized what happened started spamming Tama and Gunko and all his other favorite crap.

>>48054 That's a good thing. Hopefully we get decent moderation because that's really the only thing that 4chan needed. I don't really think the "culture" will change though, and shitposting isn't culture.

>>41635 nta good time to confess i wanna see her naked.

>>48063 Unfortunately, what I've seen here and there, is maga and gg grifters are the one that wants hafuchan to come back the most. They unironically think that hafuchan is a place to only talk about DEI and shit on 4/v/ and 4/pol/. It will be worse when it comes back, I fear.

>>47626 Yeah, it's a wordfilter. ˌskɪtsə except the word instead of IPA phonetics becomes menhera. It's funny to me personally but I can see a few situations in which it'd be a problem because they're not 100% equivalent. Like a Chaos;Head thread or something. >>48054 More like chemotherapy treatment for cancer.

>>47526 >gatekeeping >our new home You realize moe8ch is over five years old right? And the site itself is an extension of a community over a decade old, right?

>>48241 Oh, I thought it was just a part of the lingo here like how cuck is used more often than I ever saw on 4chan and assumed there had been some kind of problem with irritating femposters.

>>48063 >That's a good thing. Depends on who comes back. People with minimal attachment to the site obviously won't even notice if it comes back once this goes on for more than a month. People with a high attachment to the site though? They'll be there. You just don't want those people if you know what high attachment to 4chan means. >Hopefully we get decent moderation because that's really the only thing that 4chan needed. Very funny. This whole thing will be an excuse for a lot of older mods who already don't give a shit to retire, and it'll be open season for jannies resigning. 4chan will probably come back with half the moderation is had before, and the people coming back will probably be really spiteful considering all the phone calls and pizzas they've been getting since the doxxes. >I don't really think the "culture" will change though, and shitposting isn't culture. 4chan will almost certainly look more like the sharty than it did before the hack. Those are your high attachment people.

>>48303 Extremely disingenuous post.

>>48303 >4chan will almost certainly look more like the sharty than it did before the hack. Those are your high attachment people. Absolutely. stone_toss has made a goddamn comic about hafuchan not being back. These are the people who have a huge attachment to hafuchan, like you said. They only hangout on 4/v/ and 4/pol/.

>>37531 Turns out life without 4chan is same as with 4chan except you don't have anywhere to shitpost about it.
