>>61826 BO /animu/ added a link to /a/ >>60328

>>61831 Just saw this, okay I'll add animu to the header. I'm not the BO though, just filling in for a few days.

>>61799 >>61798 The evidence is the massive loss of PPH here. >posters I disagree with. Better get back to your hugbox, ledditor.

>>61862 Surprisingly, PPH hasn't continued to drop after the first drop when the site came back up, while a few threads across are slower, it does look like there was user loss

Theres no need for Post ID anymore since 90% of userbase is returned to 4 chan now

>>61880 No, it's still better to leave them on, since the same reasons apply regardless of PPH. I don't want my generals to be shat up by samefags and skitzoids and it's so easy to filter them out. I second the board owner's idea of adding futaba style upvotes to posts >>61272. I think we can do better than 4chan and should focus on quality over quantity, since we can experiment freely.

>>61883 You really want this place to become reddit 2.0.

4chan is a reddit colony and it has no IDs

I sure am excited for another 1000 posts arguing about IDs again

>>61890 t. samefagger menhera

>>61883 >I don't want my generals >let's sacrifice the entire board for the sake of MUH GENERAL! You're such a selfish asshole.

>>61913 Only 800 now.

>>61913 Blame the BO and his retarded policies, not the posters.

>>61883 I am convinced you're a false-flagger.

>>61941 I've never samefagged in my whole life because my time is too precious for that. Since I suck cocks and leave threads open for days to read, some other things from the last meta thread (or was it merged from one of the refugee threads?): >>61221 >upvotes belong to each post alone. >have ids >in threads lasting months Yeah, no, you're full of shit. This will just lead to circlejerks. You clearly undervalue the feeling non-autismos get from validation. It will lead to posting to get upboats or moe moe kyun cat +1 or whatever. It doesn't matter if it doesn't persist throughout other threads, it just needs to be there for a while. >I have nothing to say, but I like this Is literally the worst thing you can do. WHY do you like it? What's there to like? How does it compare to other things you like? Moreso, what if I fucking hate the shit you posted? Can't downboat, so I gotta unleash my full vitriol on you. It's just utter NPC behaviour. "X people liked this" is a worthless qualifier on the internet since you can sockpuppet. The reason why one liked X are worthwhile. If those just get repeated you know you have an echo chamber or samefag, so just don't read posts which look samey.

Is there an easy way to find archives of previous threads?

>>61950 https://8chan.moe/a/res/49610.html#61417

>>61950 It's manually archived: #3: >>49610 https://archive.ph/fWWrI #2: https://archive.ph/lxHOw #1: https://archive.ph/MKSxI https://archive.ph/MKSxI >>61862 So no substantial evidence, just "reddit". One week ago the arguments were marginally better. >>62008 Repeating that post will not make it relevant.

>That talk in the last thread about upvoting As much as I like the ID feature, I really don't want upvotes. It'll turn this place into Reddit, and I'm concerned most of the people asking for it are just trolling.

>>61862 >>61865

>>62043 Noticed it only now /a/ didn't exist by activity before the mass 4chan migration lol any claims of "how things were before" is pure bullshit

>>62043 I'm holding off on posting until the mod does their job because there's something specific I need confirmation on otherwise I'd rather not contribute further.

IDs are great, they let you notice clearly-would-prefer-to-be-on-Redditfag so you can leave him on read when he replies to you >post is a 1PBTID even though the followup replies are clearly also him well if IDs don't even properly work then what's the point?

>>62056 Discussion about IDs is over now. There's no point in debating it.

>>62056 Are you trying to use emotional inducing or shame arguments? Is /pol/ reddit?

So what's on the menu since the IDs discussion is over? Serie generals vs anime meta discussions?

>>61826 Regarding >>59918 If you're going to allow this can you just permanently ban me? People say "oh you'll be back tomorrow" or whatever but I haven't changed my IP even once since I've been here, so just permanently ban me please. The OP of that thread is copy pasted from wikipedia, and its full of posts with someone just refreshing their ID and posting really stupid updoots. I don't mind threads like >>5109 since the OP is translating it (although the manga isn't my cup of tea so I will not post in it haha) and stuff like >>59990 is at least tolerable because its not something projected to be ongoing for 57 days. This isn't really the case here however. Anyone can copypaste a description from wikipedia and then just dump a chapter of manga every day for months for maximum attention whoring, so if this is going to be allowed once again I'll ask to just permanently ban me. I don't see the point of further posting when this is something that will clearly get worse over time. This is the primary reason I don't post on 4chan /a/ any more, but at least there those threads eventually slide off the board.

>>62014 The point of IDs is for normal users to discern sch!zos and samefags with less effort. Low PPH means it's low effort in discerning in the firstt place. Furthermore, low PPH indicates that we likely do not have the former because they can't shut up. Low effort samefags will likely end up posting in the same time slots so you can identify them anyway (if you don't recognize their posting style anyway). High effort samefags circumvents IDs anyway because they can just get a new IP and new cookies, BAM, new ID. If you haven't learnt how to filter out retards on the net without some unique identifier you're not suited for browsing imageboards in the first place. >>62057 This is the internet. Nobody can be wrong on the internet and not be corrected.

>>62093 >he point of IDs is for normal users to discern sch!zos and samefags with less effort. Not the only point, this was already discussed in previous threads, a reductionist characterization isn't a valid argument. > Low PPH means it's low effort in discerning in the firstt place. >. Furthermore, low PPH indicates that we likely do not have the former because they can't shut up. It doesn't matter, and the point of ID still stands, especially when derailers and impersonators are opportunistic, as long as there's a discussion they'll chime in to cause problems. Yes, there's people like that, IDs are just a passive way to avoid that kind of problems and avoids unnecessary friction against that kind of people. >samefags circumvents IDs anyway because they can just get a new IP and new cookies, BAM, new ID. And that's was one of my points, the samefags should improve their own game rather than demanding the lowest toll for their opportunistic trolling. No system is perfect and impossible to breach and I never defended IDs under such assumption. But it allows reading the room and that means other anons can see what's going on, adapt and learn. Yes, samefaggers will adapt too but it'll be visible and requires a reactive effort to invent new strategies instead of being a lazy spammer.

>>62044 >/a/ didn't exist by activity before the mass 4chan migration Yeah, that's because more original 8/a/ posters went to smug and PLW, which were up before the original site died.

>>62093 >This is the internet. Nobody can be wrong on the internet and not be corrected. >>62093 >This is the internet. Nobody can be wrong on the internet and not be corrected. If you don't respond to it then it will go away like magic.

>>62084 This anon is right. Storytimes shouldn't be a thing on a board where most threads will be up for weeks if not months. They're ultimately low quality catalog clogging threads that are one of the things 4chan is better for. I honestly don't get why someone would do a storytime here- I'd get maybe like, 'manga sharing', you upload a compressed file that's just a whole chapter or whole volume (a whole volume in 50mb would be suspect, but people here honest to god watch [Judas] Releases, so what do I know), but just post single pages for months on end is asinine.

>>62098 >Not the only point, this was already discussed in previous threads, a reductionist characterization isn't a valid argument. Pray tell what would be those others points which don't boil down to these two? I scrolled through the meta shitfest but didn't see much points there. When there are turds shitting up discussion, report them. That's what we have mods for. Again, low PPH means it can be manually managed without compromising a pillar of imageboards: anonymity.

>>62084 This stuff is absolute cancer and only exists as low hanging fruit to suppress people trying to make things not garbage. I would not surprise if the thread was made to stir up shit on purpose, it's not even a good manga.

>>62107 Yeah, even as someone that loves storytimes this is not necessarily the best place for them. Mainly for the point you mentioned of them sticking around for way too long somewhere this slow, especially if it's going to be over a month before you're done. Maybe if they were set to autosage after a short amount of time regardless of having hit bump limit or not, and even then.

>>62129 You have a list of upsides and downsides updated by the BV so finding it should be trivial. My post >>62098 contains many points and that's why I spaced it like that. >When there are turds shitting up discussion, report them There isn't a thought police in this board, as long as a post isn't a obvious bait that adds nothing to the discussion, ie just an insult, it isn't deleted.

>>62107 It makes zero sense to me when someone could just make a compelling argument for reading a manga and I could easily just go and read a 500 chapter manga and be back well before that thread slid off the catalogue. (and obviously if I was interested and in the middle of reading the manga, I could just go into that thread much earlier and contribute to the thread as I am reading by sharing my thoughts) The thought of people actually going so far as to do things like translate manga or actually put aside time to articulate their thoughts on things getting buried under the same old desperate 4chan shitposting templates is totally grim. Daily threads are just parasocial hangouts, I don't like them one bit, and unfortunately I am quite serious in my request for taking a permanent ban if they continue.

>>62106 This is basically true and you'll have a much better time if you behave accordingly After all the purpose of debate is to persuade the audience to agree with your position as opposed to the other If your opponent feels like he has made his case and has stopped taking you seriously, then the worst thing you can do is keep griefing about it and insisting on having the last word There has never been an "I accept your concession" poster who has ever actually won

>>62150 Those points boil down to the essentials though... And we can't have no insults on an imageboard of all places? Going through the points made by the BV ( >>53681 ) >+anons can filter by ID ... Just scroll or learn to discern. >+And so, it makes dealing with thread personalities easier.* samefag/menhera problem >+people who previously stirred up flamewars by posting with multiple personas and from all sides of the argument are easier to ignore, and slightly deterred (of course, excepting the most persistent people, but that doesn't matter because the volunteers are at least saved the effort of less persistent people) samefag/menhera problem; with current PPH the effort argument doesn't catch IMHO >+there's a couple smaller ways this helps volunteers as well; one unexpected small benefit is when looking at someone's history, currently the thread number is not displayed in the list so having an ID lets you know which posts are from the same thread Might want to ask for that info in the UI then? >+Keeping track of a discussion and no impersonation. Ok. But you can have good discussion without IDs. Once you assume you have enough bad faith actors that this becomes relevant, you also have to assume they will ID-hop and so it becomes useless. Good faith actors will behave the same with and without IDs. Bad faith actors can now effort samefag to make it seem like different IDs agree with multiple posts. This now requires discerning them manually again. > +For other threads without noise it just makes reading easier. Since this is subjective, IDs are just noise for me. >+If there's any debate, or contrarian POV it can devolve into a endless goalpost moving, without ID it's meaningless to say "ok but lets return to the original point" because the usual reply would be leaving, "btw I wasn't that anon" Bad faith arguing can just as well be done with IDs since you can ID-hop like pointed out in the cons.

>>62169 >And we can't have no insults on an imageboard of all places? Of course you can, nobody cares. But if there's a normal thread with people posting and someone simply start posting "[slur] shit", "[racist slur]", "[canned meme]" as first post then yes, what do you expect? Nobody cares if in a discussion one side simply gives up and post ">>that user. You're a retard." >learn to discern. Stop forcing the burden of shitposters on others. >samefag/menhera problem And? I don't care who is doing it but the fact that it exists. >samefag/menhera problem; with current PPH the effort argument doesn't catch IMHO See >>62098, second part. >Might want to ask for that info in the UI then? ? >bad faith actors that this becomes relevant, you also have to assume they will ID-hop and so it becomes useless. And that's why reading the room matters, it not only about hopping but the contrast. >Bad faith actors can now effort samefag to make it seem like different IDs agree with multiple posts. Yes but that doesn't changes the fact you can clearly see how an argument branched out. >This now requires discerning them manually again. It's far easier with a passive tool like IDs. >Since this is subjective, IDs are just noise for me. You can consider it as a negative signal for your thought process but it isn't noise, you can hide it, in fact it's the default setting. >Bad faith arguing can just as well be done with IDs since you can ID-hop like pointed out in the cons. Of course, and? should I use "1234" as password just because there's no invulnerable password?

>>62156 Might as well just leave because mods aren't going to do anything. They keep saying to report things but I haven't seen any shitty thread removed and they keep enabling more and more terrible 4shit threads. Catalog is exactly like 4chan but slower, it might actually be getting worse than 4chan.

>>61950 Right now I'm just linking everything that drops to page 26 to >>>/aarchive/

>>62198 Are you going to ignore the post about the dailies? The least you could do is be transparent.

>>62084 I dunno, the first three paragraphs of that thread seem to not be from Wikipedia so he at least put some effort into it. Can you not just hide the thread with a shift+click?

>>62156 What would you consider a compelling argument for reading a manga? I'm legitimately asking, apologies if it comes across as stupid.

>>62201 Different anon but those are single sentence posts that have nothing to do with the manga and obviously no, hiding is not an option. If thats okay can I make 20 other threads just like it? Where is the line drawn? I'm not willing to put up with this either.

>>62203 >those are single sentence posts that have nothing to do with the manga okay, but it's still an indicator that he honestly wanted to share the reading experience with people and put in some effort. >hiding is not an option Can you explain why not?

>>62208 >Can you explain why not? Hiding is effective for removing people which have a line of posts you find annoying, not infinitely repeatable ideas. If people see an easy way to get attention then they will keep taking the easy route. It sets a precedent for future content that undermines anyone who would put in more effort. Why did you avoid my question about whether or not it would be okay to make 20 more threads just like it? If that thread is okay then it logically follows that format is applicable to be repeated. The only thing the OP said is that they like the manga and then they copy pasted a description from Wikipedia. They could not even be bothered to describe the manga in their own words. The reason a daily is poisonous is because it's an excuse to bump something everyday while putting in zero effort and encourages replies like "she got that rizz nocap :skull: :skull:". Is it okay to make 20 more threads like that or not? Because the path of least resistance will be victorious if it's infinitely repeatable and there's no point in posting anything else, so may as well just leave. If you aren't going to be consistent then this is just going to be 4chan but in slow motion, with even shittier versions of the shittiest 4chan threads that could not survive there.

>>62220 That would have to be discussed between the BO and BVs, but I don't think 20 threads just like it would be a good idea. But since there aren't 20 threads like it right now, you can hide it easily.

>>62227 What happens when there's a second thread and then a third thread? Because this is exactly how there winded up being 20 of them on 4chan. When will the BO be back? This will decide if I stay here or not.

>>62233 >What happens when there's a second thread and then a third thread? We'll play it by ear. >When will the BO be back? I think soon-ish.

>>62237 >We'll play it by ear. What does that even mean? If you don't want 20 more threads like it then clearly the current thread is not good. >soon-ish Is soon like an hour or a week?

>>62156 Not daily anon, but curious how you would do it if you wanted to read a manga and start a discussion on it. Would you just keep posting your thoughts chapter by chapter even if no one responded? While the linked daily really doesn't seem to have much discussion going on. I can see an argument for dumping the images to lower the barrier to entry for people who happen to have some time on their hands to read, to hopefully spark a discussion. Is there a better way to do this?

I will try to navigate the responses as best I can. >>62202 I don't think its helpful to go through every thread in the catalogue and grade it, but okay, as an example, this thread from 2022: >>878 While the OP did not like the manga, the thread was made with the purpose of actual discussion, and as such yielded it. And to demonstrate that I am not simply grumbling at minor inconveniences, as soon as people piled in from 4chan they began making shitty posts and begging for dailies. Its a cultural problem that cannot be ignored. Similar examples: >>5109 The OP describes why the manga is of interest, linking it to the author of the popular fist of the north star, and his stated purpose for dumping it insofar as translating it. >>58177 The OP details the premise of the manga and why it is interesting, with some background on the author. On the other end >>59918 OP says its a coming of age manga then copy-pastes a very vague description from wikipedia, and the responses it yields are ones such as >>62211 and >>62162 and >>62160 which are obviously pretty shitty, this may even just be OP talking to himself honestly. >>62201 I don't see how any of what was typed prior to the copypasted paragraph was of any effort, it just looks like the bare minimum to not get immediately banned. If you look to the beginning of this post I gave an example as to why its an existential threat, so I don't see how hiding it is a resolution. Its not fair to ask to ignore it, which brings me to my next point: >>62237 >We'll play it by ear. I don't mean to put your feet to the coals but this is really concerning, because not holding everyone to the same standards leads to biased and arguably tyrannical moderation, which is why 4chan is bad. If you don't want to see more of a style of thread then its bad, it shouldn't be decided arbitrarily. A buzzword I really don't like is "bad faith" because posts should be evaluated by standards regardless of the intent of the author, otherwise this makes moderation a personal matter. If everyone was on the same playing field there would never be a reason to ask if someone is acting in "bad faith" or not, which to me demonstrates a deeply embedded issue with processing information. Just something I saw mentioned by moderation at an earlier point that I hoped was nothing, but now I'm not so sure honestly, which is why I would like some clarity. If I had not asked to be permanently banned I think this would just be swept under the rug, and I am quite serious about taking that ban. I do not feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Now other arguments I'd make, if there was a watch-a-long thread, we'd expect this to be contained to one thread, but this doesn't really work for manga, and there's a lot more manga than anime. This also doesn't match up to how a "club" would discuss a manga, they wouldn't discuss an old manga chapter by chapter, that's just silly. >>62284 Addressed in this post, you can scroll up for the answer. This board is very slow, making stupid 4chan threads will just make it worse than other slow altchans. The original 8chan was definitely not like this when the first big split happened, in my memory anyways.

>>62289 Oh and one other thing I'd like to add, is that the manga being dumped is 57 chapters I believe, and its impossible to keep up discussion for 57 days in a row. It will, without a doubt, deprecate over time, so its a bad format. If its this bad now imagine how bad it will be later. Most manga is even longer. Kids will just enter it to hang out and it will foster that environment. I don't think its a good idea to foster and environment where people are encouraged to put in as little effort as possible, because stupid people will gravitate to it.

I rather not see manga made by that mentally ill faggot from aku no hana, forgot his name Aku no Hana was great but then he went full agp

>>62319 Why not hiding it? If you're using UBO this filter will automatically hide any thread with keywords related. ##.catalogCell:matches-path(a/catalog):has-text(/Flowers of Evil|Aku no Hana|Sh.z. Oshimi/i) There're hiding tools specific to this page too.

>>62330 Nobody wants this thing dude, just abort it like a prom night baby

How will you ever recover, BO? https://8chan.moe/site/res/4481.html#13201 All your hard work of spamming lolishit all over threads now going to waste! I'd consider resigning.

>>62332 You went from "I rather not see manga" to "Nobody wants this thing dude," that is an indirect way of saying "censor that", a cancellation because of the author.

>>62335 I'm not the same person. I'm saying no one wants the thread. It's unanimous. Even the "board volunteer" can't defend it. Why keep something that displeases everyone? Is it worth the board dying?

>>62334 The things removed under that rule were pretty extreme, he included more details in another post. >All your hard work of spamming lolishit all over threads now going to waste! I'd consider resigning. What that even means? and no evidence, simple defamation.

>>62336 You're asking to censor some authors. Is that so? Should Rurouni Kenshin be censored too? inb4 "yes" you can check the rules. > Is it worth the board dying? non sequitur

>>62340 I could care less about the author. The problem is something no one wants being formatted in such a way that it will be bumped for months.

Kenshin author literally did nothing wrong, you are some reiwa or heisei era faggot

>>62341 Moving the goalpost already? >The problem is something no one wants being formatted in such a way that it will be bumped for months. And you only have to hide it once specially if you have UBO (that you should regardless IBs) >>62330, unlike 4c in this chan nobody is gonna be banned for exchanging filters, although it belongs to meta (inb4 anyone posting filters in threads they don't like).

>>62284 >how you would do it if you wanted to read a manga and start a discussion on it The same way most people can watch an anime without having to make threads about how they just watched episode x. Hopefully people also think that's a shit idea as with sound you could do equivalent episode threads here.

>>62344 You're the one moving the goal posts. I don't like furries. Not a big deal to hide the furry thread since there's only one. I don't like storytimes. Kind of a big deal to block those since unlike the furry thread they can be made infinitely and are designed to be bumped every single day regardless of interest. They're intrusive and retarded.

>>62347 What rule did it break? picrel. If you want a curated catalog maybe you should create a new board where you don't need to hide anything. As I said, use the filter.

>>62349 It's a format that is so terrible that it undermines thread quality, as admitted by the BV who said they would not like to see further threads. Either I can make 20 more right now or they don't belong here. It's two-faced to say otherwise.

>x is netorareshit >bad faith posting How is stating a fact about a series bad faith posting? I have been thanked many times by anons for saving their times by just posting this fact in many threads A warning sign saves lives

>>62351 Did that anon make 20 threads? Otherwise that is just FUD for something that didn't happen. The BV/Semi-BO already discussed the matter of manga dumps if they become a problem, it was like one week ago and right now the catalog is slow, 3 times larger than 4/a/ but 60 times slower.

>>62353 >Otherwise that is just FUD Whoa there you disengenous assface, logic follows that if the thread is passable then there would be zero reason not to make more of those threads. If someone makes a thread discussing a seasonal anime, I would want to see 20 more threads on other seasonal anime. It shouldn't matter who is making the threads. I won't even call this common sense because it is mathematically correct. Either the entire board can be storytimes or this shouldn't be here. There are tens of thousands of manga that could be dumped and if all that is required for a thread to be passable is copy pasting a Wikipedia article then what barrier, logically, is there for not doing that? You cant arbitrarily draw the line. Don't gaslight me, dude.

just go to /animu/ or something lol

>>62356 You're again using hypotheticals that are just that. > I would want to see 20 more threads on other seasonal anime. There're +20 threads of seasonal series. IMO there're more constructive ways to organize a catalog with the limited software available right now, like suggesting the use of "labels" [Spring 2025] insert-name-of-anime. <And it would also be useful to "adjust" the lewdness level of some threads

>>62368 I am leaving once someone confirms it's okay instead of pussyfooting around. And I'm sure as shit not going to dogshit like /animu/ lol, what would be the point of advertising where I'm going

>>62373 then where tf are you gonna go? back to 4netorare? smug? kissu?

>>62374 new wordfilter huh

>>62372 >There're +20 threads of seasonal series. Yes, and that's a good thing. Those are desirable threads. Even if every single seasonal had active discussion there would still be plenty of room in the catalog and it would not hurt anything else. However, the daily has already become a retard magnet and some idiot is just sitting in there shifting his IP every 2 posting saying things like "I like turtles" and what have you, it's exactly like a daily on 4chan. I don't want to see even a single one more of those. Obviously bad. Obviously will bring cancer. A storytime is a general with a topic too shitty to be an actual general. A storytime on 8chan is a something so shitty it can't even survive on 4chan. It's not here because it requires slower more calculated discussion, it's here because it's so low quality that no one in their right mind would reply to it. If thats the future of this place then I will just leave and I don't see why no one will confirm this is their vision for the board. Because if it is it will just dwindle and die off in a few weeks and just be a secondary place for /vt/ and /vg/ which is overflowing on 4chan, basically a big diaper for the absolute worst threads on 4chan no one wants. I'm not interested in that, the BO should be clear about his intentions so he does not waste others time.

The BO or BV is a netorare that is why the wordfilter

>>62380 lol

Oh my, would you look at the time! It's shitposting hours again! Ohayou anon-sama-tachi, I missed you! What are we trolling the mods this time with? How about more word filters?

>>62379 There you go again trying to curate the catalog using FUD as only argument. That thread isn't breaking any rule and " is just sitting in there shifting his IP" doesn't matter if you can hide it. Just hide that thread. > it can't even survive on 4chan. Is that the new bar now? surviving in the 4/a/'s catalog? You can keep screaming even if this isn't a scream room.

>>62384 There is no FUD. It you want this to be a haven for threads too shitty to survive on 4chan just say so. It's obvious your staff so just stop being a huge pussy and say it. Not a single person in this thread wants storytimes and "just hide it" is a janny tard special. In a month there will be 20 more and you aren't going to back me up at all and I'll just end up feeling manipulated and lied to.

>>62380 Judging by the filters, justwannahelp is a zoom*r cuc.k sch.izo doesn't take his med.s anything else anons have discovered?

>>62054 >>62084 Reiterating that I would like a permanent ban if the BO's official position is to keep them. This is dissapointing.

>>62390 kill yourself chud. nobody samefagging spamming pajeet gook shills like you. go back to 4cuctorare.

>>62392 I don't understand a single word of this. I just want to be permanently banned if storytimes are going to be here.

>>62289 I think the most relevant part of this reply for now is >it just looks like the bare minimum to not get immediately banned It's already more effort and higher-quality than lots of other threads' OPs, and if I had to apply equal quality standards to OPs (assuming the storytime thread is below some standard) I'd have to delete half the catalog, which I don't think is a good idea (and I don't want to delete said half), so I'm leaving that thread up. >>62341 >The problem is something no one wants being formatted in such a way that it will be bumped for months. This seems to be the actual main complaint and I don't think it's a valid one. Let's say someone makes a thread (not a storytime), and he wants to bump their thread over several months. Is that something that should be banned? I personally don't think so, and it's not currently against any rules. There are weekly manga where people might talk about a new chapter every week anyway, that would be bumped for a long period as well. Not to mention long-running anime and so on. >>62351 >so terrible that it undermines thread quality, as admitted by the BV who said they would not like to see further threads This is not true. Some people (if the plural is accurate) here have a bad habit of taking statements and twisting them in some unbelievably illogical way. Please stop that.

>>62393 >permabanned >on 8chinz kekaroo

>>62394 >I'd have to delete half the catalog please do

>>62390 Just block this website at the DNS level if your will is so weak you can't stop posting.

>>62397 what's a "DNS"?

>>62394 >It's already more effort and higher-quality than lots of other threads' OPs Firstly its not, its about on par with the worst ones. Secondly those aren't going to be bumped for 57 days. >Let's say someone makes a thread (not a storytime), and he wants to bump their thread over several months. Is that something that should be banned? What? Of course it should be. If someone just posts "bump" every day for 2 months thats definitely should be banned, and in effect that's exactly what a storytime is. >>62397 I am asking politely instead of forcing the ban. If it continues I will just force the ban. This isn't really negotiable, I'm just being nice about it.

>>62394 >I'd have to delete half the catalog That could be a good thing given the high number of low effort halfchan bait threads. In my opinion there should be a rule that forces a thread for a particular anime/series to have a proper description, or at least the title mentioned instead of >'tis I, Holo the Wise and Naked Wolf! or >I wish I had an onee-chan like Tomoko

>>62394 >>62399 And also yeah, you do need to delete a lot more threads, the catalogue is really fucked up right now. You're not doing a good job.

>>62401 Same. It's getting hard to find any good threads. Please consider deleting low-effort threads admin.

>>62394 I genuinely assumed the catalog was going to be cleaned up more after traffic left. Are you going to keep it like this? A lot of this obviously shouldn't be here.

>>62399 >Firstly its not, its about on par with the worst ones I wouldn't say so, from a look at the catalog. It has more effort put into it than the average thread. >If someone just posts "bump" every day for 2 months thats definitely should be banned, and in effect that's exactly what a storytime is. I don't think that's exactly what a storytime is. >>62400 >>62401 >>62402 >>62403 I think it might be worth doing soon, yeah. I don't want to do anything big right now without asking the BO first though, and I want to give certain threads a few more days to see how inactive they get anyway.

>>62409 Low effort threads: >>60827 >>62240 >>5935 >>21803 >>58591 >>46338 >>60285 (bait threads like this should be nuked, not bumplocked) >>30218 >>57539 >>50787 Got bored here, look for the rest yourself.

>>62410 Thanks. It's pretty easy to find them in the catalog though, you didn't have to list them out.

>>62409 >I don't think that's exactly what a storytime is. How is it any different from just linking a manga hosting website once a day? If you want to defend it so badly just permanently ban me, its that simple. I don't want to be here if the catalogue is just going to keep filling up with shit, I just want to know for sure if this is actually how things were intended to be. >asking the BO first though I'm honestly really getting skeptical this is legit and not bullshit. Does the BO log on once a month or something? Why is he even the BO?

>>62409 I'm not posting in the catalog at all if you're not going to fix shit.

>>62410 Thank you. Good point about bait threads - they really should have been deleted sooner so as to not encourage bad behavior and waste people's time like on 4chan.

>>62416 >If you want to defend it so badly just permanently ban me, its that simple Defending it has nothing to do with banning you. > I don't want to be here if the catalogue is just going to keep filling up with shit There are not many storytimes currently. You can complain about it when it happens >I'm honestly really getting skeptical this is legit and not bullshit. He's been BO for years, this is just a coincidental timing thing. You have repeated the same couple of points a couple times now (and to be fair, I'm sure I have too), so I'm not going to reply unless something new is brought to the table. >>62417 Reread my post.

>>62419 >Reread my post. I did read and I see no point in posting in the catalog until things get fixed so stop trying to buy time.

>>62419 >You have repeated the same couple of points a couple times now Can you show me one thing I have repeated? 4chan did the same exact thing where they said >Oh its just one of them And then a bunch of faggots moved in and it became >Storytimes are a cornerstone of /a/! You also aren't defining "not many", so this makes me skeptical you really mean that. >Defending it has nothing to do with banning you. Well yeah it does, if they're here I don't want to be here. There isn't some middle ground here.

>>62421 Why do you keep stirring up shit with the owner? Just leave if you don't like /a/, plenty of websites on the internet.

>>62423 >Can you show me one thing I have repeated The "ban me" thing?

>>62424 That's not the owner, that's the "board volunteer." And I literally just said I am leaving. That's what that post implies. Are you retarded?

>>62417 >>62416 While I agree low effort crap should be deleted, there are no explicit rules for that unless it's <3 : Baiting and posting in bad faith posting (e.g. "x is netorareshit" ">shonenshit", "netorareime", [insert netorarechan buzzword], soyjaks, etc.will be deleted >>62419 So IMO you should at least delete the bait threads.

>>62084 Meds menheraphrenic >>62084 >and its full of posts with someone just refreshing their ID and posting really stupid updoots. Proof of this other than your menhera headcanon?

>>62428 Yeah, I agree the bait threads should be deleted. I think we left the Uzaki one up back then because it has a public warning so more people from 4 could see the warning and learn that it's something to avoid doing.

>>62425 >The "ban me" thing? You just don't want to feel like your actions have consequences and shift the blame on others. Banning means you are explicitly choosing one type of content over the other. The catalogue has slowed down to a crawl. 8chan was alive for years and its because it didn't look like 4shit. niggerwheels was a terrible admin but at least he didn't lose the board after 1 day. There's no reason for me to come here when half the threads are shit. I have 4chan /a/ opened up next to moe/a/ and there are MORE fucked up threads in this catalogue right now. 8chan, wiz, etc these are places I could go to and effort post before they imploded. Clearly not the case here.

>>62040 Upvotes like Futaba would be a good addition. The Japanese think they're useful, and it's more convenient than replying just to give (You)s. It would lessen the amount of low effort posts and lead to more high quality discussion, since you will post only if you have something to add, instead of 4chan style (You) spam just to agree.

>>62442 >It would lessen the amount of low effort posts and lead to more high quality discussion, since you will post only if you have something to add, instead of 4chan style (You) spam just to agree. Yeah, I agree :^)

>>62441 >Banning means you are explicitly choosing one type of content over the other. Yes, it's called moderation and is key for any high-quality imageboard. >I have 4chan /a/ opened up next to moe/a/ and there are MORE fucked up threads in this catalogue right now. Agree. The mods here were too lenient with deleting threads and this lead to a lot of users not bothering to come back anymore.

>>62441 Maybe wait for the original BO to return then we could have talk about that and decide on a rule enforcing it? Clearly justwannahelp appears to be reluctant to change board rules with his temporary position. If you really want a ban then you can wait a few days...

>>62432 Alternatively you could make me a janny and I could clean up some of that shit. But then I can imagine I'd get called a powertripping netorare by enforcing rules that are not present.

>>62446 Place the blame on others without argument is just an indirect insult. Just to understand your point, can you post a concrete example of an good quality anime thread? >Some OP start a thread with a simple "Episode 4" but they try to keep it alive and engage anons and it improves with each post.

>>62453 >Just to understand your point, can you post a concrete example of an good quality anime thread? We already played this game with manga.

>>62455 The question for that anon was about anime, but you can post an example of a good quality manga thread.

How is the Uzaki thread bait? The OP stated a fact

>>62458 Someone already did that. This is getting mighty sus.

>>62460 Post the >>#

>>62461 Why? Just scroll up

>>62463 Post the >>#, otherwise you're just derailing.

>>62465 Here goes the spoon, say "aaaaah" >>60285

>>62466 I said: Just to understand your point, can you post a concrete example of an good quality anime thread? In your case post the high quality anime thread.

>>62465 It's right there >>62289 Why should I answer you when someone already did this? What's in it for me?

tumblr fags and redditors should never be defended, they destroyed 4chan

>>62468 I asked for a concrete example That is only one >>#, nothing less, nothing more

>>62470 4chan destroyed 4chan.

>>62472 What? There are 3 quality examples compared to one bad one.

>>62474 You have just excluded yourself from any further argument by willfully refusing to provide something basic to continue.

>>62467 A good thread at least includes the name of the anime in the title to make it easier to search for the thing in the catalog. That's a bare minimum. Another thing that would be nice to have is a description of what OP wants to discuss in that thread - whether it's a general thread or maybe about some particular aspect of the show. The thread linked by me doesn't even include the title of the anime and starts with a greentexted emotional statement pulled out of the OP's ass.

>>62476 I'm asking for a concrete example. Post only the >>#

>>62475 You were given 3 examples. I would argue the counterexample given there is the only truly bad manga thread in the entire catalog, unlike the fallacious argument justwannahelp gave about deleting half the catalogue because of bad anime threads, which are unrelated.

>>62289 >this may even just be OP talking to himself honestly. Is there a reason you believe this as you mentioned several times already

>>62470 nonexistent moderation destroyed 4chan. we will not be repeating the same mistake here, no matter how hard you try to spam and samefag.

>>62478 This one >>60865 While the description is a consciousness stream, there's the title and OP explains what he wants to discuss. This one isn't bad too >>11173 There's a title, OP mentions some stuff related to the show and asks an engaging question. This one >>2981 Has a title, clearly stated goal and there are linked materials. So yeah, a title is a bare minimum and it's nice when OP includes the goal of the thread.

>>62480 the only one making fallacious arguments here is you. spamming low-quality threads adds nothing of value.

>we wuz not the bad guys Typical redditor

>>62487 Huh? Show me a bad manga thread other than the daily thread. If we look as manga as a seperate category from anime then only one thread is the problem. It's pretty simple.

>>62486 The first two are entirely post your opinion please, and the other one isn't even an anime thread lmao Any thread with any bait tier text can generate about the same amount of discussion, a threads value come from the posters not the irrelevant op image and text, and which series brings the posters who want to discuss it or not is entirely unrelated to the OP

>>62489 Maybe try replying to posts directly instead of throwing vague accusations and name calling into the void.

>>62493 From my experience I know that threads that usually start with off-topic bait such as "why women do X?" or "there's no discussion that X is the best series" often end up being off-topic and low quality till the end. And a title is really a bare minimum. It makes searching for specific things easier and prevents duplicate threads.

My post was deleted because I implied precure fans were rorikons, and I feel that this is an abuse of moderation

>>62499 Could fall under the shitstirring shitposting rule

>>62492 The show itself attracts the posters and the people that make the op, nobody here has control of that. whether you get more tards who take the bait or more regular posters who can generate their own discussion with posts is up to whether or not the show/manga can attract those posters or not.

>>62502 Oh wrong guy, meant to tag >>62497

>>62501 It was a light jab Everything else in that thread has been active shitstirring or silent image dumping and I in particular was removed! Rude! And uncalled for! (I honestly hoped to catch a lecture about the non rorikon elements of the show)

>>62499 Modern precure fags are actually agp trannies, some are still lolicons though But if they watch it for the yuri aspect of the show, they sre not lolicons. I hope you learned something today

>>62486 >This one isn't bad too >>11173 With an OP barely giving any info pic1, just an open question and a mention to the current arc. Before a manga dumper with TL it wasn't really different than the "usual thread" (>>56091 that is casual posting), and it's in the bottom. I see hard to predict if a thread would have a effort posting or not. >Scanlators dumping their manga is in a sense effort posting even if they're just copy pasting their own work. >This one >>2981 Constructive generals tends to be like that, the topic is anime. You could do the same for recommendations of fansubs, manga, or even scanlation groups. An IB is far more spontaeous than that kind of threads in my opinion. >This one >>60865 Cryptic OP, not a critic, but I'll discuss this thread instead >>1615 >Anyone been watching this anime? It's actually kinda enjoyable. Basically the story is about an introvert who picks up the guitar after being upset that she never made friends in middle school and is dragged into a high school band by pure chance. Honestly, I think the anime has a lot of charm and I'm looking forward to seeing if a season 2 will ever be made or if I'll start the manga next week ater the final episode airs. What do you think about Bocchi the Rock anons? cute band story? shitty K-On rip off? You decide! It doesn't <It doesn't become general or scattered too quickly. It mentions something about the synopsis, reference to other series, and give some personal opinion. Other threads have low effort OP (>>53270) but some anon decides to spend time there and add some substance, this post pic2 for example is of "higher quality" than the OP, why didn't he posted that as a new thread? If the idea is having a high quality thread but not removing the spontaneity of an IB then adding labels could be better than flushing the catalog. Using UBO you can even whitelist just the labelled threads and hide everything else. Final note: should AI generated text considered against the rules? because it can generate a bland OP with a few keystrokes.

>>62481 I have already given several examples in the post you replied to. I can scarcely believe someone that could find their way here could make those posts in earnest and be human. This is not to say I think they are a bot. I think, scientifically, if we were to put the specimen on a lab table and have them dissected they would be identified as homosapien, but as a member of the species I feel it is undignified to refer to them as human. Clearly there is a sense of desperation insofar as trying to appear active, which is common in 4chan dailies. There is no way someone can be proud of those posts. I think >>62492 is also an excellent point. There is nothing wrong with the vast majority of the manga threads, so its insincere to compare them to the catalogue as a whole. Rather, the current state of anime threads should be viewed as a canary in the coal mine.

>>62515 I asked for a concrete reason why those other posters might be the OP, not your frankly menhera blog post about your unsupported feelings and your grandiose delusions over random commenters

>>62519 >I asked for a concrete reason why those other posters might be the OP Extremely low quality posts would suggest it was the same person. That is an argument. Literally what the hell is this >>62214 There's just no way bro, come on lol

>>62520 And why would extremely low quality posts suggest samefagging and would lead you to have grandiose delusions about your superiority over another poster and paranoid delusions about them being OP

>>62522 >And why would extremely low quality posts suggest samefagging Because it mirrors the OP's own low quality commentary. And as I previously stated earlier, it doesn't matter if it is them as "bad faith" arguments don't matter, only the fact that they *could* be the same person. If it gives that impression its simply because the entire thread is low quality, so whether it is or isn't is irrelevant. But it probably is, and it would be even worse if it wasn't because that would mean its attracting even more idiots and making them feel comfortable here.

>>62525 Not withstanding the fact that by anonymity, you could also "could" be replying to the OP of that thread right now by your paranoid logic, Do you mind addressing the rest of the comment and explaining your logic, particularly what led you to grandiose delusions about your superiority over them?

>>62528 >Do you mind addressing the rest of the comment and explaining your logic >it doesn't matter if it is them as "bad faith" arguments don't matter, only the fact that they *could* be the same person. If it gives that impression its simply because the entire thread is low quality, so whether it is or isn't is irrelevant. But it probably is, and it would be even worse if it wasn't because that would mean its attracting even more idiots and making them feel comfortable here. Be more specific. Because I have never randomly quoted a bunch of posts and typed "Outstanding." with zero context. Which wouldn't be that weird on its own, but like the whole thread is that. Its truly odd. I feel this is doubly problematic, because if I went to like mangadex or weebcentral or whatever the per chapter commentary would be of higher quality even though it would largely be riajuu screeching "PEAK FICTION" over and over, so this kind of defeats the entire purpose of a daily. Like contextually its existence makes no sense, I could find a better version of that anywhere.

>>62431 Kek I wasn't joking BTW janny

>>62531 Oh you misinterpreted my comment, I meant > think, scientifically, if we were to put the specimen on a lab table and have them dissected they would be identified as homosapien, but as a member of the species I feel it is undignified to refer to them as human. Where is the connection between a low quality post implying samefagging and you thinking this?

>>62534 I'm implying the person posting it must logically be a subhuman animal with lower quality input than what I would find in places packed with literal teens, which I detailed in the followup post you are currently replying to.

>>62535 And what would make you think you're more of a human homo sapien than a teenager?

>>62537 >And what would make you think you're more of a human homo sapien than a teenager? Your prefontal cortex doesn't fully develop until your mid-20s. The teenage brain is full of all sorts of superfluous and incorrectly wired synaptic functions which lead to poor decision making and bad impulse control. The driving force of a teenage brain is the pleasure and reward center, so they're operating on the level of like, I dunno, a mollusk, rather than a human.

>>62544 The human adult brain is just as capable in making emotional decisions and irrational leaps in logic as a teenager, you don't randomly lose that By the scientific classification of homo sapien there's no taxonomical difference between you and a child unfortunately regardless of brain development, so why do you think you're more of a human?

>>62556 >By the scientific classification of homo sapien there's no taxonomical difference between you and a child unfortunately regardless of brain development I already clarified in the beginning that the distinction wasn't scientific, you're wasting my time now.

>>62559 >I think, scientifically, if we were to put the specimen on a lab table and have them dissected they would be identified as homosapien, but as a member of the species I feel it is undignified to refer to them as human. Then why mention that in the beginning paranoid menhera, are you beginning to lose track of your own logic? Are you a human or an animal incapable of following its own logic, trying to make up things to justify its pleasure seeking and irrational delusions? I think a teenager would be better suited to understanding and remembering the things it says

>>62563 >Then why mention that in the beginning paranoid menhera, are you beginning to lose track of your own logic? I mentioned it because it needed to be clarified, as you just demonstrated here. >>62556 This all seems perfectly logical to me. I'll give you one more try!

>>62564 >n-no actually the thing I said clearly I didn't mean post hoc, I didn't actually mean that grandiose delusion, they really are a mollusk since they're a teenager I meant it metaphorically I have evolved past a teenager into an actual human and I am not a mollusk anymore and deserve a place apart from this anonymous mollusk who is masquerading as it's own mollusk over every post I would never be a mollusk everywhere I go I find mollusk I am not a mollusk I am an actual human I accept your concession menhera san, you should have listened to your family to ochitsuke, I do enjoy playing with mollusks like you

>>62571 Oh it's specifically t-a-ke_ your me-ds that's what they added to the filter, that's good to know

>>62571 That was your last one.

Lmao have fun with this one janny, at least this ominai avatarfag isn't far gone enough to start believing in curses and demons like the gookfag menhera I saw here earlier who thought teenager language causes your brain to deform as a result of demonic curses

>>62289 The fundamental problem is 4/a/ is filled with 24/7 generals. Those generals are effectively reserved slots. Only threads with high posting frequency can stay above p10 there which naturally led to things like manga dump threads becoming popular. In turn there are even less slots for regular threads. Then you have seasonal anime threads- and not even those are safe from sliding. Since /a/ has been in that state for years it means there are years of newfags who lurked on an /a/ where normal threads in effect did not exist. This is less an issue of rules and more that 4/a/ culture has been in necrosis for a while. And a sub-issue of that is some fags like that form of /a/. It is something you fix through demonstration not declaration. Show them the superiority of the old way.

So who won?

>>62599 I don't know, there's no upboat counter

>>62599 Cirno, as usual.

>>62607 Looks like we need likes then

>>62198 >>61826 this might be obvious, but how do I see which page a thread is on...

>>62577 >The fundamental problem is 4/a/ is filled with 24/7 generals. Those generals are effectively reserved slots. >This is less an issue of rules and more that 4/a/ culture has been in necrosis for a while. And now that culture is repeating itself here, 8/a/ is also filled with single serie generals

>>62697 P:page #

>>62577 >Show them the superiority of the old way. An argument has to be made that this should be done here. My impression is that the the staff doesn't want this, so why choose this place and not anywhere else? It doesn't make any sense to fight an uphill battle on a random site. Any post I make here now feels wasted when I feel I could have posted it elsewhere.

>9 posts per hour oh god it's really over, isn't it

>>62724 all those 9 posts? dailies not even meta ID arguments to boost numbers anymore

>>62724 All of the threads that have been posted have gotten responses People are still here If you want more you need to start it, to excite the lurkers

>>62621 Dubs confirm.

>>62786 Damn it...

>>62787 The game was rigged from the start, by Cirno.

>>62778 >All of the threads that have been posted have gotten responses Personally, I don't buy into this. Seeing that the current active threads are a Korean furry porn webtoon, an NTR general, and a twitter screenshot thread from 2 years doesn't inspire confidence. I've taken to jotting down my thoughts in notepad as of late so I can avoid just mindlessly consuming media. That's good enough until I can find somewhere I can bounce them off of people.

>>62410 >oppai thread is low effort neck yourself

>>62341 you could care less? so you do care?

>>62410 >>>60285 (bait threads like this should be nuked, not bumplocked) >bait

Fullchan-X now has complete mascot support. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/533067-fullchan-x

>>62954 Thanks for sharing.

>>62954 Do you think you could help me out with creating a new interface for multiboards? There are just too many things I do not know or understand about javascript yet and a collaborator will help the work go by much faster. Drop by >>>/site/12725 for details.

>>63022 I think something like this OP could be useful to organize the catalog for currently airing anime >>63267, instead of the usual >>11188. Only currently airing anime should have the tag [airing]. I don't know JS but using UBO it's possible to hide any thread without that "[airing]", just as example ##.catalogCell:matches-path(a/catalog):not(:has-text(/\[airing\]/)) >##.catalogCell:matches-path(a/catalog):not(:has-text(/\[airing\]|OFFICIAL META/)) to include the meta thread

>>62393 I don't understand, why do you want to be permabanned? Just don't visit the site if you have such a big chip on your shoulder. Don't expect us to coddle you.

>>63349 It's not up for debate and I will be permanently banned. And there is no "us". Board is dead. Obviously no one is going to come to a board that is the same exact shithole as 4chan but objectively worse, and if that's what the BO wants this place to be then declaritively say so and ban me.

>>63363 Why do you need someone else to ban you? Is your willpower so weak?

>>63365 Because he's attentionwhoring.

>>63365 It has nothing to do with willpower. It is a declaritive statement on standards. >I don't know if I would want 20 of them >The BO will be back "soon-ish" Nothing but wishy-washy statements from a liar. You can't pretend to be better than anywhere else if you're going to do that sort of thing. As I have stated in the very beginning, people always take it for granted and say "oh you'll come back". This is not the case here. Since this post >>62054 I have not made a single post outside this meta thread and refuse to do so. When I get my ban that will be that. Retards ruin everything, they have to turn everything they touch into the same exact thing. Of course people from 4chan insist on this being 4chan, which in and of itself is just a reflection of popular social media and I fail to see how current year 4chan is any different from twitter or whatever. Of course they would just fill this place with shitty generals and storytimes which are in reality just hang outs vaguely orbitting a topic to stave off boredom. If the mods are just here to protect these shitposters then just say so and ban me. This will simply be yet again one less place I have where I can discuss things. As the internet grows old and bigger the less places there are for me, I feel, just business as usual at this point.

>>63367 How can I be attention whoring if I'm in one thread unrelated to the rest of the board? There's no reason for you to even be in here.

>>63369 Because if you truly meant what you said, you'd just quietly leave, instead of making this performance. Just go to discord if you can't stand how imageboard culture is now, or maybe keep to real life. Lastly, despite your impotent rage, people will keep making, reading, and posting on storytimes both here and in 4chan, because they have fun doing it.

>>63371 >Because if you truly meant what you said, you'd just quietly leave, instead of making this performance. I disagree. I am currently giving the tale of my all time favorite unrelenting autist and symbol of masculinity, Kiichi, a re-read as Kiichi VS now has a full translation as of this year, and it has me thinking about the importance of the individual as a symbol. If you simply compliantly stand by and let society mow over you then there will be no place left for you. Incompetent authority figures will simply just fuck up everything to stay in power. People find symbols uncomfortable, they are incorruptible and permanent. Its simpler to just marginalize the individual. >Just go to discord Feel free to show me this discords where people are discussing anime and manga. >people will keep making, reading, and posting on storytimes both here and in 4chan, because they have fun doing it. I am skeptical that the people on 4chan are having fun, and that the people currently posting here are having fun. I am certain what's going on in here is more interesting than whatever stupid thing you were talking about. I think you are just addicted and unwilling to make a change. Feel free to show me the posts you made today and why you found them satisfying to make.

>>63393 I'm just replying to let you know I am not going to read your post.

>>63393 >Its simpler to just marginalize the individual You're getting marginalized because you're a menhera mate, you aren't important and you never will be making up paranoid and grandiose delusions

This place is legitimately worse than 4chan, and probably even reddit. I have never seen such a shit board, how is this so much worse than 8chan was lol

This place cannot be worse than reddit or 4chan We have no people to make it worse

>>63488 At least those people had the excuse of being big. This place is shit because a handful of people from those places are sitting here and making threads in bad faith because they hate that a place can exist that is not like their shitheap. These awful threads were made intentionally to cause drama and they will post in them then come straight here with a fresh ID to downvote.

Zannen

>>63489 >>63489 >These awful threads were made intentionally to cause drama and they will post in them then come straight here with a fresh ID to downvote. Is there a reason you think this menhera san?

>>63491 Because it's extremely obvious and I have an IQ above room temperature?

>>63491 >menhera san And you might as well sign your posts at this point. Very retarded.

I noticed that some threads have their OP edited, what is going on?

>>63512 Oh don't mind that lol, justwannahelp is making it easier to filter the threads actually related to anime. Wouldn't want to click on those by accident!

>>63512 I'm trying to do the catalog a little easier to use but limited to just a few to see how anons react. >Searching for "[airing]" should show threads of anime currently airing. Nothing else. >And also with merge it's possible to update the OP and keep the old one in the thread.

>>63514 Why would you think making it look like every seasonal thread is AI generated is a good idea? Stop messing around and start pruning shit threads from the catalogue.

>>63515 To make the thread easier to find. The idea is using the this template https://pastebin.com/DbSX52w8, >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >Subject: Ninja to Koroshiya no Futarigurashi, NinKoro [airing] >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >Content: Episode 4 tomorrow. <Just write whatever you want here, I'm too lazy to remake each OP even for series I'm not watching. The new lines are for formatting _____ Broadcast: Thursdays at 13:30 (GMT) / Thursdays at 22:30 (JST) Studios: SHAFT Source: Manga >----------------------------------------------------------------------- That combination of footer and tag should make far easier to filter and search in the catalog

I usually just search the anime name, that is enough to get the general of said anime

>>63517 It was already easy to find by thread title. People have been doing this for 2 decades. All you did was make it easier for people to filter OUT the threads on anime and get straight to the off topic threads. This makes zero sense. The board is dying, what are you doing?

>>63517 The [airing] is a nice tag but I usually just search threads by the anime title, so I am not sure if that really added much. I think the amount of threads up and the thread limits are something better to direct your attention towards.

>>63524 It's a noninvasive trial, justwannahelp doesn't know I'm doing it yet. I announced it there >>63290 I don't want to start deleting threads when the site is already slow and an empty catalog isn't really alluring.

>>63527 >I don't want to start deleting threads when the site is already slow and an empty catalog isn't really alluring Pretty sure the current threads are why the catalogue isn't alluring.

The catalogue is not the problem, people are just subhumans and they rather post at 4chan Simple as I for example just stayed here after seeing what the okama mods at 4chan were up to At least the okama jannies here are not that bad when it comes to bans

>>63529 It may or may not be so. The catalog is a common good, destroy it without using any alternative isn't good idea in my opinion, if you want a smaller and customized catalog whitelisting with UBO is trivial. You can use this as template ##.catalogCell:matches-path(a/catalog):not(:has-text(/WORD1/|WORD2|WORD3/)) has-text(/WORD1/|WORD2|WORD3/i) to make it case insensitive has-text(/W.RD1/|W.*2|WORD3/)) "W.RD1", "." can be any character "W.*2", it will match anything in the same line starting with W and ending with 2 () and [] needs a \ before. \[

>>63534 Edit: >##.catalogCell:matches-path(a/catalog):not(:has-text(/WORD1/|WORD2|WORD3/)) ##.catalogCell:matches-path(a/catalog):not(:has-text(/WORD1|WORD2|WORD3/))

>>63534 >It may or may not be so. The catalog is a common good, destroy it without using any alternative isn't good idea in my opinion How is having 2 furry porn generals helping, one of which is completely off topic? People will take one look at the catalogue and leave. You can't appease everyone. If the catalogue just looks like an off topic shitposting frenzy of boring threads that get 1 post a day why would anyone want to make a decent thread here? This logic seems terribly naive.

>>63497 Extremely obvious how menhera?

>>63540 No one says "menhera san". It takes 2 seconds of control F to figure out exactly who you are.

>>63541 >dodging the question Please by all means explain your paranoid logic again

>>63544 I just answered your question and you are exactly the type of person mods should be pruning, but instead are defending

>>63545 And who am I that you say I am but won't explain how you know or what I am?

>>63546 Control F menhera san. Now tap the airplane button on your phone and get back to downvoting.

>>63547 All I asked was to explain your logic as to how you know people make threads to start drama and come here menhera, is that so hard for you to do?

>>63539 >How is having 2 furry porn generals helping, But no report. To give an example the Korean threads were merged into one thread because the Rule 4 requires it. But what's your definition of general? and I'm asking seriously. There's no explicit rule against furry, you can suggest that to justwannahelp. But it will require of a criteria other wise the meme "furry scale" would be used against particular series (are nekomimis furry?).

>>63548 Yeah it's pretty hard to explain obvious things to a mentally ill retard. I wonder how much you've shit up the catalogue over the past few days. I'm betting it's a lot. You forgot to switch back to your other ID btw.

>>63549 One of the threads is literally a Korean web toon that arguably isn't even a manhwa because it's not an ongoing story, just porn drawn to look like manga. And why report when mods do nothing and are extremely fickle? I have zero confidence at this point. It all seems hopeless to me.

>>63552 >Korean web toon that arguably isn't even a manhwa because it's not an ongoing story Then report it, if the author is korean it can be merged into the Korean General.

>>63550 My internet went out for a bit and I wanted to see if I could get you to explain your paranoia again Or was that actually me, maybe it was the person making all the threads that you think are shitting up the catalogue? Or maybe you are the person shitting up the catalogue but you don't remember, a demon might have put a curse on you to forget, how would you know?

>>63553 Why not just look at the shitty catalogue for once and remove it? The answer I keep seeing is "well I don't know if that's against the rules" but as I see it, the rules aren't very well defined and there practically isn't rules. So is the differentiating factor between this /a/ and other /a/s that it aims to be extremely low quality? Or were the rules just poorly designed because the board was slow and insulated from the internet? These are important questions to me and I'm getting pretty impatient with where the board is going.

>>63555 I am 110% certain this is bullshit lol

>>63559 You seem to have more knowledge on the topic than I do, and the OP says: USE THE REPORT FEATURE! That post took far longer than reporting the korean furry thread.

>>63560 Which part? And how would you know? You seem quite confident all the threads and comments here are from a few people, is it the mollusks again? Or is it something more sinister, something following you everywhere you go? You can't really ever be sure, can you?

>>63561 My question is why should I help you, when in my opinion a good 30 threads should be trimmed? I'm not so sure we're on the same page and maybe you just want the board to be dead. No one new is coming here in its current state, this isn't attracting anyone. I genuinely don't even understand why there are mods. It's very confusing.

>>63563 Because it's korean, but there's no rule about trimming the catalog.

>>63562 Very sane post, I bet you've been making a lot of great contributions.

>>63566 >no argument I accept your confession, so it was you behind all the posts

>>63568 I don't understand. What type of mollusk do you imagine I am? I would like to be a cuttlefish, ideally.

>>63569 Very high quality post, it looks just like the kind of thing you'd see in a furry thread that's shitting up the board as you say, I think you're under the curse already that "they" have set, they've already infected your thought patterns

>furry It is called kemono and japanese version of this fetish is far superior to the western one

>>63571 >>32462 It's right here clear as day. Anyone who can't find it isn't trying. It's been up for days.

>>63574 It's insidious isn't it, they're behind all the posts here aren't they, your mind is being warped, they really are casting a demonic ritual on you, you can't stop thinking about them can you? And here the thread will last forever since not enough posts are being made, the jannys must be in cahoots with them right?

>>63576 No I just think the janitors are retarded.

>>63577 Are you sure? They want you to think this way, that's the curse they set on you, isn't it obvious? They're doing all this to mess with you, you're even typing like them, they're doing this how can you not see it?

>>63563 What is your idea of /a/ even? Serious buisiness essay exchange isn't what populated /a/ or kept it popular and against what AI fags believe images aren't born from text. Memes don't just pop up from a reveling esoteric cartoon debate and an /a/ without memes isn't /a/.

d5a3d1 (i.e. onimaifag) will never be happy. If everyone in the board started posting to his exact specifications, he would still find a way to bitch about it. Just make your own imageboard where people are only allowed to post kokou no hito and usogui

>>63582 Copypaste failed me. I meant f14248

>>63581 >What is your idea of /a/ even People who are actually here to discuss anime and manga, at least at a level above reddit. Like not the kind of person who just makes bait threads about shows they got from 20 year old recommendation charts. That's not ideal or desirable, 4chan already fills that "niche". An imageboard shouldn't be people wrestling over catalogue space like on 4chan, but that's exactly what these threads look like to me. It's exactly that inorganic and retarded behavior fostered by 4chans bloated userbase, limited catalogue size, and mainstream appeal. On a board where threads are up for months, why be insistent on making the dumbest posts possible? I don't want to chat with you so you feel less lonely lol

>>63581 Why'd you have to ruin it, I was close to getting the tourist newfag menhera to believe in a furry demon curse, it already responded to a kemono thread being an insidious curse lmao

I am not writing wall of texts for posts

Can you guys stop avatar fagging? Or at least use male characters

Truly strange, the mere rumor of my existance can nearly double the PPD. >>63485 All individuals are important, which is why the stupid things they do deserve critique. Regardless, my argument is about the individual as a symbol, arguing from the point of a statement seperate from the individual. (similiarly in Kiichi, the protagonist must make a choice between his individualism and existence as a symbol, here we are anonymous so a ban against a post is a ban against a statement, not the individual. If you wholeheartedly disagree with the existence of something the most civil thing to do would be to transparently ban it and part ways, if you had conviction) >>63583 This is not true. I consider >>58267 to be a 200% improvement over the previous thread, which I suppose has slid off the catalogue by now so I cannot link it. The previous one was just people posting tier lists over and over and not saying anything. Only half the thread was like that this time. Unfortunately, I imagine the people who want to put in zero effort will ultimately win out, because this thread will be recreated daily, just like 4chan. Additionally, your obsession with me is a bit concerning. I have to wonder if you are shitting up the board on purpose to attack those you don't like from a place of ressentiment. >X person doesn't like these threads so I need to bump them here as much as possible I would not surprised if that was taking place quite frankly, and, while I cannot prove that, culpable deniability can only deliver you so far when the simplest explanation is often the best one. >kokou no hito and usogui I do like these manga, but there are currently 82 manga I consider to be a 9/10 or better, and I'm quite picky. However, I am also tolerant. I think older things should be looked at more critically than newer things. A seasonal thread or a dump of a new manga chapter has inherent value no matter how terrible it is. This is also why the latest change was an enormous mistake, in my opinion. Posting a picture of Shinji and saying "he's literally me" does not have inherent value as a thread, I have already seen that thousands of times. If you aren't going to put effort into discussing old things, then you should probably shut up. I am far more willing to tolerate memesaw man than dragon ball, even though I think both are equally terrible. >>63594 The character limit on twitter is 280. Since the character limit on this board is 12000, I would aim to at least go over 280. >>63599 I was going to post more Kiichi!! but now I feel it is more appropriate to posts mollusks. Still waiting on that ban!

I already knew you were mentally ill, you showing off your agp is not a surprise

>>63587 You really do seem very mentally ill. Like Temple OS tier stuff.

I hope we can all learn a valuable lesson from this

>>63615 I've learned that I hate 4chan.

>>63613 Why were you so upset about the criticism of kemono? That artist in particular doesn't even draw true kemono, as they are korean. And apparently linked to the brony fandom. I used to know a furry that was obsessed with fat polar bear women and talked about cool manga like Bastard!! and Shamo, an absolutely disgusting and interesting fellow. I don't expect you to bring any similar value to the table with your shit taste, nothing good ever comes from bronies. However, if I am thinking of the same thread, I have seen it posted on several alt chans, all with the same reply declaring the artist draws horse asses really well. Deeply concerning. Don't know if it was a good idea to let that one fester and spread its maggots into other threads, to be desu with you.

>>63581 >Memes don't just pop up from a reveling esoteric cartoon debate I am sure if you sit in on enough discussions you'll find something you can repost on /r/kotakuinaction or whatever people do.

>>63517 ahahahahaha what the fuck is this. i leave your shitty board for a few days and when i come back your jannies are enredditifying the place even more. hahahahah holy fuck. they really do just wanna help this place become reddit and MALforums.

>>63644 This is why /animu/ exists

>Why were you so upset about the criticism of kemono? Who?, I just stated that fact, I dont even know what thread are you guys crying about

>complain about puppetshit not being anime >mod warns me that ANY and ALL Japanese related media is allowed here >make thread about Japanese media >get banned for off topic Make up your fucking mind retarded mods. Ether allow all 3D media or none, you can't have both. Puppetshit will NEVER be anime.

The puppet show is made by a japanese with chinese labor, so yes it is japanese What is not anime or japanese is that cuk shit Anne Garbles which was made by a jewish woman

>>63760 >so yes it is japanese That wasn't the question

>>63751 The off topic furry thread is still up, I genuinely think jannies don't want people to use the board.

What are the best places to discuss anime and manga? Places could mean websites, discords, anything. Serious answers only please. I would love to talk about these things.

>>63751 >puppetshit not being anime Literally only spergs get mad and say it isn't anime. Puppetry is literally defined as animation. Not a single site Japanese or otherwise contests its status as anime. This is an autistic hangup that would only be held by autists. >make thread about Japanese media Willing to bet it was something retarded.

>>63843 >Willing to bet it was something retarded. The very fact that he didn't say what was it he made the thread about shows that in his heart he knows he's wrong.

>>63788 Animesuki - dead Mangaupdates - dead MAL - one of the worst forums I have ever seen Reddit - Endless walls of short largely uninformative comments copied from other sites 4chan - see reddit Altchans - see 4chan but also dead Anilist - dying under the weight of its own autism Anime-planet - soon to be dead Mangdex - why does this even exist Weebcentral - pure unfiltered shitposting I don't know anything about discord.

>>63788 how does this post not have an ID?

>>63788 Smugloli.

>>63843 >>63851 >Puppetry is literally defined as animation. Not a single site Japanese or otherwise contests its status as anime. This is an autistic hangup that would only be held by autists. No serious database lists puppetshit as anime. And no it's literally not defined as animation by any definition. Puppetfags are among the most annoying faggots in the entire anime community even worse than gatchafags. >Animation is a filmmaking technique whereby still images are manipulated to create moving images. In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. >Willing to bet it was something retarded. You mean as retarded as literally filming puppets moving in front of a CGI background? Ah yes that's definitely not retarded.

Fear the puppet

>>63905 I think the real question is: Can I talk about how much Thunderbolt Fantasy sucks? That's not against the rules, right?

That is like saying claymation is not animation

>>63788 Wizchan according to that one guy

>>63905 >No serious database lists puppetshit as anime. The only DB that doesn't is MAL, so really, you're just outting yourself as MALfag cancer.

>>63905 TF is the adaptation of a manga...

You are really fucked when the agp faggot is right and is shitting on you

>>63788 >discords I never said this, but there's a gathering point for those who represent JUSTICE out there. How do you get there? Just four little letters, turn /a/ into /u/ and you'll be on your way. But actually good anime discussion in the wild? Gotta make it for yourself. Places to discuss anime at a deeper level are few and far between, and a lot of them are "Know a guy who knows a guy" territory. Used to be that you'd keep track of blogs and make connections, but now most people congregate on the likes of unnamable sites and dull their intensity. In terms of the open internet, this is really your best shot. >>63942 Not that Onimaifag, I just liked the pic.

>>63935 I don't even consider MAL as a database. >>63941 So is One Piece by Netflix, do you consider that an anime as well?

>>63947 >I don't even consider MAL as a database. It's the only database of note that doesn't include it so it has to be what you're referring to. Really the database we should use as a baseline is AniDB anyways. And it has puppet shows.

live action is not anime, and if made by american it is just jewish trash and you should kill yourself for even mentioning it

>>63751 Your japanese media thread started with an off-topic complaint about the board.

>>63951 Puppetshit is live action

>>63947 >So is One Piece by Netflix, If the studio/media company producing it isn't japanese then it doesn't belongs to /a/. Solo Leveling aside, there're multiple films and serires that are adaptation of non-japanese sources like Howl's Moving Castle or Buda that are accepted as /a/.

>Puppetshit is live action Live action means human actors 3dpd

>>63934 I would consider wizzy dead personally, not shockingly an imageboard made for autistic virgins by an even more autistic gay guy has had many strange trials over the years that ground it down.

>>63517 People who can't read the catalogue don't even exist You are limiting expression

>>64036 If I had to guess it's being done for their own benefit, so they can merge threads without paying attention to them, which seems to be an ongoing theme here.

>>64036 It is an example rather than something I intend to force on others, if you use filter it becomes evident that they have downsides, but it's better to know how to use them. That's why I posted that, for people that could find it useful and as counterargument to people asking a major thread purge, if someone finds one or two series annoying hiding them is a possibility, unless they're against the rules, in that case that anon should report the thread in question.

>>64043 >if someone finds one or two series annoying hiding them is a possibility Can you give an example of that? I don't recall anyone complaining about seasonal threads.

>>64046 I was talking about filters in general not the "[airing]" tag. Some anons complained of the very existence of "furry threads", DBS, Thunderbolt Fantasy, Makeine, Josei series. That's why I mentioned that rather than purging the catalog people could just hide them and that respects other anons' space. I added that [airing] to a few threads because I wanted to see if anons find it useful. It will gradually disappear because I'll let other anons to decide if use it or not. I'll ask in those threads with [airing] is someone else wants to update the OP and merge the old thread into it. If they want to use it for the new OP, it's up to them.

What josei series? And kill makeine cuks The dbs fags left long ago too, they are shitting up 4chan /a/

>>64048 But the [airing] tag was forcibly adding to threads, while also curiously overlooking currently airing anime in the catalogue like Precure and Gundam for some reason. (did whoever did that not know they were airing or what?) And is this even really addressing what people are complaining about? Weren't the complaints related to multiple reocurring threads? (for example, 2 furry threads) I'd also ask if the implication here is that you'd like everyone to sit in their general and not interact with each other.

Precure is a general for all precure, same for /ai/ which has shit new anime on air too Not sure why that shit gundam didnt get the tag

>>64050 Because it isn't a board policy. I was just me doing a little trial. justwannahelp didn't authorize me to modify all threads. >while also curiously overlooking currently airing anime in the catalogue like Precure and Gundam for some reason. If someone wanna see more seasonal threads with updated OP or that tag just make a new thread and I'll merge the older one into it. As long as the BO doesn't complain about it. > (for example, 2 furry threads) If you wanna limit "furry threads" (what criteria are you using anyway) to a single general then ask the BO/justwannahelp specifically for that. The current rule 4. doesn't specify anything about it as they do with the korean general

>>63963 Wrong again. >Live action is a form of cinematography or videography that uses photography instead of animation. In other words, puppetshit is live action and not animation.

>>64053 >I'd also ask if the implication here is that you'd like everyone to sit in their general and not interact with each other. This is the actual important question.

>>64055 I really don't understand your point. It's about the filters or the tag airing? The former was an example with a few tips to edit the filter instead of blindly copy and paste it, I never said people needs to use the whitelist filter >>63534, but I did suggest to an anon to use a blacklist filter for "annoying series" >>62330 instead of asking for a thread purge. Also UBO can be temporary disabled in specific sites. And the latter is just an extra word, you don't need to use a filter to benefit from it (search function). It sounds kinda useless, doesn't it? that's why I only added it to a few threads to see how the anons react, if they react at all.

>>64060 My point is that you're going about this the wrong way and nannying threads will just result in a boring dead imageboard.

>>64063 Don't worry anon, it's completely voluntary. The alterations I made are all I'll be doing on my part.

TF is cool.

>>64060 It would be more helpful to purge AIDS threads and actually do stuff that drives user engagement, like, I dunno, loading up r/a/dio posts into an audio streamer or something, instead of dicking around with scripts. When is the BO going to be back? I don't think users have any idea what this board is trying to be or why it should be used over other places, I certainly don't.

>>64152 > loading up r/a/dio posts into an audio streamer or something, Streamer? I don't understand why people should use the page. And what's the problem with r/a/dio (and no mention of /mu/sic), moshi moshi?

>>64179 >Streamer Icecast or whatever people use now. It's weird there isn't an embedded radio feature to begin with. >And what's the problem with r/a/dio Nothing, there's 241 files in there, which is why it should be encouraged.

>>64228 Why won't he ban me and release me from this meta prison then?

Are pokemon anime threads banned on this board?

>>64054 ok then muppets arent allowed on /co/

>>63955 You faggots keep moving the goalpost in circles

>>64230 I like you here I hope you are trapped here forever

>>64243 Don't think so, should be fine

>>64345 Ok. Just making sure. /vp/ is a dead board btw. Any pokemon anime discussion there is dead too

Does man exist only to suffer?

>>64243 Only the first 2 gens

4/a/ is down again?

>>64230 wait ominaifag, i want to try convincing ack to believe in demons too, how convincing was the demon taking over your body to shitpost thing that may or may not still be true

>>64493 Might as well be, feels dead as shit even on a weekend. It's really a lose-lose situation where every imageboard feels dead as shit as the users are spread out every where.

>>64585 >It's really a lose-lose situation where every imageboard feels dead as shit as the users are spread out every where. This would be an extremely ideal situation if not for the absolute worst users spreading out that belong on 4chan. If you want to make stupid 10 character shitposts, generals about anime you aren't even watching, and storytimes/dailies, you should really, really, really be on 4chan. I don't see the point in using a board that has these things and I don't think current year 4chan users are capable of posting anything interesting.

>>64585 Do you think I'm going to post every day of every month? I barely look at 4chan. When it went down a few days' worth of users were checking for the site to come back up eventually realizing the archives would be up and then found their way here. Supposing every users present then is going to stick around you would still see a huge drop in posts because they don't live online and the future of the site was uncertain, both 4chan and where they would end up posting instead.

>>64493 >didn't even last a week kek

>>64717 What value do you think your posts have? It's losing like 100k posts per day in terms of activity per year and the decline is getting faster and faster. The people who call is home now aren't of interest to anyone, same goes for the current state of this place. Look at the mod that posted in drama queen, just look at the posts he made. Imagine what kind of person acts like that and what they're bringing to the table. It all feels quite hopeless really. I feel there is active disdain for people who want to actually talk about things and I can see it reflected in the catalogue here, which is full of a whole lot of nothing.

>>64731 Do you mean these posts? That BV was warned and the post and the post weren't deleted to leave a visible warning for the rest. The use of the role signature is restricted to explain for example mod actions, and preferably in this thread.

You have shit taste if you post in the drama queen thread in the first place

>>64731 >It's losing like 100k posts per day in terms of activity per year The site has basically gone back down to 2009 number. Big different there is that pre-08 posters weren't fervent activists like the post-Chanology, later post-GG flock. Here's a month by month comparison of /a/ for 2025 (so far, and the total posts & OPs include deleted posts, I just separate for insight into janny activity): >January 2025 1,020,890 posts 25,726 deleted posts 10,581 OPs 1481 deleted OPs >February 2025 930,033 posts 14,205 deleted posts 8894 OPs 891 deleted OPs >March 2025 960,192 posts 13,917 deleted posts 9688 OPs 850 deleted OPs >April 2025 (Outage spanned April 15 to April 25) 672,990 posts 9190 deleted posts 8286 OPs 953 deleted OPs And for a final comparison, we will compare the first two days of March 2025 and the first two days of a few other Mays to the first two days of May 2025. Just raw post counts this time. Doing March because April Fools inflates post counts. >May 2009 56,677 posts. >May 2014 110,485 posts >May 2016 101,289 posts. >May 2018 91,832 >May 2023 79,959 >May 2024 78,411 >March 2025 64,037 posts. >May 2025 53,565

>>64745 I typed like an ESL, I should probably get some sleep. >2009 number >Big different there Point remains the same, site is dying really fast. The hacking might have sped it up even more.

>>64740 You can look at the ID attached to those, look at the rest of his posts, and they're all TERRIBLE. Just straight up dumb reddit kid stuff. Not only should this dude not be allowed to be a janny, but his entire region should be permanently range banned. Posts like that guy's are exactly why imageboards are dying.

>>64740 I don't disagree with that mod. That chapter Did have NTRbait vibes. Unloyal woman walking away in the arms of another man? Very cųcky. But I do think he was a retard for not hiding his mod status. Like, isn't it normal for you faggy jannies to blend in. This moron didn't do that.

>>64753 t. Mod

>>64731 Is this autism?

>>64777 If you have to ask then I have to agree with his assessment. I wonder what 4chan will look like in 5 years. Stuff like >>64745 doesn't inspire confidence. I'm checking in once a day just to watch the catalogue here smoulder at this point, I wonder who's to blame for its current state. I'm certainly not contributing to it in any capacity whatsoever, so the only people left to blame are the ones who are.

>>64786 4chan probably will barely exist in five years. If we guesstimate, we'll just say every year loses about 500K posts annually for /a/ specifically. The hack dealt a pretty heavy blow, so including the missing 10 days, we'll probably see 2025 close out with numbers around 2009's 11,431,425 posts. From there, 4chan will just keep declining. As activity wanes, people leave. People who farm the site and its users will see less value in dedicating their time there and move to sites that are more primed for milking. More normal users will leave because overall thread quality is deteriorating, which is what was already happening. From there, that just leaves spergs and bots. Spergs might stay, but we saw them here. They need high traffic boards to stay in these places, which is why they flooded out of the alts so quickly. Here's a few more charts for those monitoring the gradual decline of 4chan. /cgl/ in particular I find interesting because you can pinpoint where this very social hobby became alienated from 4chan itself. Even disregarding the archive starting in May 2012, four months can't account for the 100K 2013 had over 2014. And then the board quickly crashed and burned. Currently, for the first four months of 2025, /cgl/ only has 6125 posts. The hack played a role in it, but even ignoring the hack, /cgl/ only gets around 75-100 posts a day. It's a tragic ending in all honesty.

>>64786 I don't disagree 4chan is dying. Only that individuals posting is not a linear thing.

>>64797 /cgl/ lived and died with Pixyteri.

>>64797 To me seems more likey imageboards winding back in being a niche of their own, more focused about hobbies than anything else (as they should be). It's not the same thing as for example, usenets, which they had their own deprecated protocols, *chans can keep existing (dying out and spawning anew continually) within the clear and daknet without requiring convoluted extra steps for being approached. 4chan may die but anons will endure imo.

>>64797 What do you think is the root cause for across the board decline in activity?

>>64934 Competition by nonIBs.

>>64934 Look at it this way: >2006 Habbo raid, "Pool's closed" and nigra. >2007 "Hackers on steroids" happens. >2008-09 Chanology and the anonymous movement take over the internet for a brief period before crashing and burning. >2012 The fappening. Drives a lot of users but also gets moot SUED (a lot of people say this is why moot left, it's not entirely. It's also why the DMCA policies were put in place, as moot said, another lawsuit would've killed the site). >2014-15 Gamergate becomes the hot topic of the year. In the longrun, this is what actually killed 4chan. While moot was still dealing with the lingering effects of the lawsuit, he has the majority of the active site unite against his policies, stalk him and staff, and a ton of leaks happen, so he packs his bags. Gamergate is also the real start of 4chan not being viewed as a viable place for more casual interests, which is why I highlighted /cgl/. For years 4chan hadn't gone to Otakon, but 2014-2016 seal the deal of it not being acceptable anywhere remotely normal. This is also where you see a lot of creative types begin to flood out (obviously not all of them still a ton of OC on all boards, but those OC makers become more associated with online personalities, like SIR on /fit/ or ritsu on /dbs/). >2016-18 The election and its afterglow. Gamergate killed the viability of 4chan as a normal platform, and this just put the nails in the coffin. It was inevitable though, considering the consistent turmoil of 2014 and 2015. >2020 The election again. This is the last true population increase (covid doesn't really count since that was more just people posting more often than anything) and since then the site has been waning in greater and greater numbers, and that is simply because nothing happens on 4chan. There hasn't been anything for 4chan that wasn't tied into Trump since 2014. There hasn't been anything for 4chan that wasn't a haphazard activist movement since 2012, and before that 2007. 4chan is now seen as a heavily political activist site by the masses, and its alignment with fringe politics drives away any new users that aren't more aligned with those fringe politics, and people typically aligned with those enough to post on a site specifically for them aren't going there for the niche boards. Even then, /pol/ itself is declining pretty hard, right now on 4stats a typical day is averaging in the ballpark of 70K-80K posts per day. Before the hack it was 80K-90K. Last year it was 100K. During the 2024 election cycle it was 110-130K depending on the time. Bear in mind, a lot of /pol/ is bots. This isn't even just "I disagree with this person, they're a bot", /po/ is one of three boards with a threads/hour rate above 35. Right now it's at 73 with 50ppm. That is absurd by any measure. And the reason for this decline is simple. There is no incentive for new users. People came to /b/ in the mid-late 00s because it was doing the fun shit, it made the news, it had stuff happening on it all while SA and forum culture as a whole was becoming more and more cancerous. The 2010s amped those activist sentiments of Chanology up to 11 and that drove in a whole new breed of people to the site- when people were leaving /v/ for 8chan, people were going from reddit and oldweb forums to 4chan for gamergate. During the election, people went from reddit (again) and twitter to 4chan because they wouldn't be "silenced" or "shadowbanned" there. Now what is happening is a lot of people moving from 4chan to twitter and discord. 4chan is losing purpose, it's losing incentive, and this year was a death blow like no other. Unless something huge happens for 4chan, it's not going to get more users, and that huge thing needs to effect other sites at this point. What caused a flood of people to 4chan was this perception of being silenced during gamergate and then later the election- and that doesn't happen anymore. Most people go to insular communities like the aforementioned discords and twitter itself is a 9gag tier copycat of 4chan behaviours- it's like looking at a goddamn skinwalker.

>>63857 Test. It'd be hilarious if there was an option you can select.

Man this place died fast. Everyone just posting off topic shit in the meta thread and every other thread is literally dead. Imagine you get a once in a lifetime chance to get a good board and you intentionally ruin it by adding IDs and hire the most retarded mods possible. Instead of letting an unique board culture flourish you lock down everything you personally don't like and ruin it just like the original. But at least the original still has activity. Retards.

>>65126 > Everyone just posting off topic shit in the meta thread The meta was <4% of posts during the last 2 days. > Imagine you get a once in a lifetime chance to get a good board and you intentionally ruin it by adding IDs Still mad about IDs? Impressive...

Out of curiosity how many of the ID happy fags knew what 4chan was before 2008? How many of the ID unhappy fags? pic unrelated

>>65127 > The meta was <4% of posts during the last 2 days. If you mean saturday and sunday, wouldn't this only be like 500 posts over 48 hours, most of it being image dumping? When I look at "Latest Posts" on the front page its starting to look pretty grim. The spanish is starting to overtake the english again. Pretty sure its unironically over.

>>65127 >t. mod

I've written a script for multiboard catalogs. I'm new to JS and it is still very early on so expect bugs and poor QoL, but it almost works. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/534957-8chan-multiboard-catalog/code >click the infinity sign at the top of the catalog >add your boards >reload page (I plan on fixing this) >click on your link Alternatively, you can just click https://8chan.moe/multiboard/catalog.html?boards=a-animu-m-jp and do it without that hassle. The only requirement is that you MUST hit the catalog refresh button to load it, which is something I also plan on trying to resolve. I've also added a feature that allows for thread creation and posting from the catalog to the board of your choice. Please report issues and desired features to >>>/t/17721 and note other scripts that you have enabled. If it loads at first but then not again, try doing a full refresh (ctrl + F5).

>India and Pakistan start bombing each other >99% of the shill and antijapan threads on halfchan /a/ die instantly >board traffic is down by 40% within an hour >you get banned if you point this out

>>65727 proofs?

>>65751 It's organized ads spam so that anons come back and post there I've seen exactly the same post with /v/ instead of /a/ on /v/ and /b/ See https://4stats.io/

My thread watcher seems useless since the series threads I'm watching keep getting merged with new threads, making the thread I watched 404.

>>65961 Gomenasai I didn't consider that problem, I was testing if people liked the idea of updating the OP, that would leave the thread internally divided by episode.

>>65961 Just to know, which series?

>>65964 The one I noticed just now was Apocalypse Hotel, but I'm sure it happened to another a few days ago when much of the merging started.

>>65968 I mostly stopped the trial after the the merges of one week ago, except for MuuMuu and Apocalypse Hotel. The idea is too se if anons likes the idea of updating the OP but it'll not be imposed.

>>65973 Edit: except for Apocalypse Hotel, MuuMuu has the OP of one week ago.

Hows the traffic here since 4netorare is back ?

>>65984 Slow but not too bad. Pre April 14th the posting rate was 4 posts per day, now it's ~300 posts per day, when 4c was down it was 5000-6000 on average but a most of it was in the generals and meta threads. Unlike 10 days ago this meta and the 4chan meta are essentially dead but the activity for the rest of the board is stable. At least the spam, reports and problems essentially are gone except for one or two anons spamming the catalog.

>>64797 Far as I was told, /cgl/ users jumped ship to either hobby specific Discord groups (some of which were already in thread OPs), or a site called lolcow, because by the mid 2010s the culture of the board had shifted from convention discussion and funny photo sharing to just shitting on people's fashion choices, relationships, and bodies. Lolcow was pretty much made because people were being warned and banned for offtopic gossip and social media stalking. The current /cgl/ is two-year-old threads asking to see boobs and kig photo sharing, which indicates the female userbase - the ones who actually sew and style wigs - is now the minority. It's a very strange case because not only has the spread of weebery turned cons into extremely normalfag events that don't align with *chan tastes, but Japanese fashion culture in the west got turned into constant cat fights. On an anonymous board girls expect to just rip into each other, guys expect to collect fap material. You either get off or call someone a fat whore, and that's all they've got for an entire board. Makes me wonder if it'll ever set a precedent for closing down a 4chan board, since the kigs could easily go to /jp/ one day. >>65973 Understood. Just wanted it known that it borked the URL.

>>65984 Steadily dropping. /b/ is beating /a/ now in traffic

Is the board owner "back" or should I just dump futa porn?

>>64934 My theory is that imageboards are a dying breed, as the new generation of internet users don't care about anonymity and would rather go to places like Discord, which have all the "advantages" of an imageboard(small niche communities, file hosting, shitposting, memes, raid organization), without any of the "disadvantages"(no anonymity so mods can moderate better, nothing is in public so nobody can make fun of you unlike with Reddit, you can actually call your friends, you can easily make a channel just for your friends to post privately). Without new blood communities will eventually die or reach a point where there are only 10 anons left, in their 70s that are still active. Now I doubt 4chan or 8chan will ever reach that point, you will always get that weird kid who is interested in "retro" internet that will go to imageboards, but it's not the same as with 2010. Probably the most damning thing, and it's the subject of pic related, is that when 4netorare had been dead for more than a week, the activity on 8chan/v/ almost reached it's activity at it's peak when a bunch of anons fucked off from the website. I will repeat, getting 4chan killed, didn't generate as much activity, as when Gamergate happened and a fraction of anons decided to leave, and you can't tell me that the two events are of the same magnitude.

Did the site die? Could not load it for some hours

>>66096 The source of decline is imageboards not being a place of information. People only ever used /a/ because it was the premier place to talk about anime and manga in the western world. You can't say that /a/ in any of its current forms is more knowledgable than anywhere else, and in fact there is an absolute disdain for being knowledgable. People who are knowledgable are targeted and harassed. This is because the founders are gone, who made those places to get away from far worse places, and no one intelligent would want to moderate an imageboard, so all that's left is inmates running the asylum that encourage insane shitposting. You can already see it here with the moron that left his tag on in the Drama Queen thread. Gamergate and 2016 well and truly destoryed imageboards. There is such a thick miasma of delusion to justify retarded and radical behavior that there is no room for anything else. The only argument to be made for using an imageboard is to shitpost and who wants to be around someone who's only value is shitposting? Thus 4chan has become a glorified discord chat and every imageboard beyond it has become basically nothing but small cliques with no purpose. When someone says anonymity has value they are wrong and imageboards dying proves they are wrong. No one is truly anonymous and you can feel the weight of your shitty posts as these places die, this act is profoundly tied to the ego of the poster and the consequences will be larger than they imagine.

>>66106 >You can't say that /a/ in any of its current forms is more knowledgable than anywhere else Ok, so what place is more knowledgeable. I doubt you are going to say Reddit, MAL, Twitter or Discord, so it has to be some random forum full of high IQ people that only you are aware of. Could you share such knowledge with the unwashed masses that you think we are? >People who are knowledgable are targeted and harassed. Why would they be targeted/harassed and how when there are no accounts? Please explain, as this is the basis of your argument. Just saying that the people who used to post there in 2004 are not the same who post today, is the same situation everywhere on the internet. Another explanation is that they died, grew old, or started a family and became normalfags, not that they were chased away by someone you didn't explain who it was. >no one intelligent would want to moderate an imageboard Does moderating an imageboard attract lower IQ individuals, than something like Reddit/MAL/Discord? If the answer is yes, then please explain why, if the answer is no, then are you claiming that Reddit, MAL, Twitter, Discord, some random niche forum are all the same? That it's exactly the same low iq community with low iq mods? >The only argument to be made for using an imageboard is to shitpost The argument for using an imageboard, is that you are free to express your opinion on a particular subject, and because of no accounts/karma then you cannot use your fame or fans to bolster your point, like you can on Twitter. You have to defend your argument to the best of your abilities, and even if you get called a retard and proven wrong, there is no reputation loss, you hopefully learn from your mistakes, and either change your argument or learn how to defend it better in another thread. >with no purpose The purpose is to discuss a hobby, in this case anime and manga, maybe even do some small projects from time to time, like translating a manga(even smaller imageboards can do this), have r/a/dio stream or just stream anime for your other board members. That's mostly it, it's not about some grand project, or trying to change society, it's just a place where people can speak freely without the shackles of society. Most of what you said, can be boiled down to the fact that the people posting in 2025 are not the same people that used to post in 2004, which is true for every other place on the internet, then you looked at the current state of 4/a/ and claim that this was the natural end state, without explaining why or how it differs from other online communities. Are you really going to claim that having an account, thumbs up, reputation is what makes for a better conversation on the internet? If so, then perhaps Reddit is more to your liking.

>>66111 >Why would they be targeted/harassed and how when there are no accounts? Different anon, but there's pretty high evidence of purposeful trolling to drag down discussion crab in the bucket style. I don't know how anyone could deny that. Imageboards in the current year feel like a battleground where a few small people actually want to discuss something and a very large amount of people just want to hang out, and these cultures are at odds with each other. >Does moderating an imageboard attract lower IQ individuals, than something like Reddit/MAL/Discord? This also is an obvious yes, there is much less responsibility involved in moderating an imageboard and the position seems to attract the worst people.

>>66148 >I don't know how anyone could deny that. Maybe it's because for the past 10 years, I have either been posting on the old 8chan/a/ or on smug when the former died, but I haven't felt that. It was mostly anons talking about the anime, manga and so on. The worst thing was mostly the very strict moderation, as in there was a bot that would ban you if you didn't properly capitalize your sentences or used punctuation, but that was mostly to keep a higher quality posting style. Even the offshoot, /animu/ wasn't bad, and they even did some decent translation for manga. Maybe it's because 4netorare became known as the dumping ground of the internet that this happened and because mods either allowed or encouraged it, but it's not true for all imageboards. >there is much less responsibility involved in moderating an imageboard Why is there less responsibility? If you want a higher standard and people start shitposting, then you need to be involved a lot more. The lack of email accounts also means that anyone can easily post, whereas with email you can limit it to gmail, and that will considerably reduce the shitpost, so platforms that require login already adds a barrier of entry(small, but still existent), so moderators on those platforms can take it easier. Furthermore with a shithole like Reddit, the users will self-censor themselves, just to not get hit by Muh Karma, this can also happen on other social media platforms with a thumbs down system, as well as the fact that you are tied to any post you have done since you created an account. Just look at Shitter, where people now have to delete 10 year old tweets, because while they might have been acceptable then, it's political suicide to say those things. All in all, you need higher iq to properly moderate image boards, if you don't want it to become a dumping ground of shit. The fact that the position attracts the worst of people, isn't limited to imageboards, it happens with any platform with centralized power, including government and the church. The solution that 8chan introduced was to have users make their own boards and moderate them themselves. While the result doesn't always work, there have been cases where the userbase either got divided(/a/ and /animu/) or mostly migrated such as from /b/ to /b2/ right before 8chan got shut down.

>>66111 >Ok, so what place is more knowledgeable. I thought I made it clear that all places are more knowledgable. I'm pretty confident you could place an imageboard against any other website discussing anime, and both the diversity and quality of discussion would be greater. >Why would they be targeted/harassed and how when there are no accounts? Imageboards have become home to ideological warfare, even if it is subconscious and intuitive. People compete for board real estate and attention. This leads to the focus shifting from actual discussion to curated generals and infinitely repeatable low effort templates like storytimes and dumb people saying they are watching X or Y for the first time because being a newfag is in vogue. People will make stupid threads over and over to bury everything else, which will attract other lazy people who cannot contribute otherwise. >because of no accounts/karma then you cannot use your fame or fans to bolster your point Upvotes exist to reduce comments such as these: >>41057 They predate modern social media and on japanese imageboards they are not kept track of and do not influence posts. If you look at the string of posts attached to that ID, almost every single one could have been replaced by clicking an upvote button, they contributed nothing to the thread instead rather clogging it with shit, and yet, surprise, the person making them is a janitor. That person should not even be posting, let alone be in a position of moderation. >You have to defend your argument to the best of your abilities, and even if you get called a retard and proven wrong, there is no reputation loss, you hopefully learn from your mistakes, and either change your argument or learn how to defend it better in another thread. This is profoundly wrong, and so perfectly descriptive of the maggots currently feasting upon the corpse of imageboard culture. No one who posts without concern of their effect on the greater community they are participating in should be allowed to participate in any community, anonymous or otherwise. 4chan was not made with freedom of speech in mind. I use imageboards because when I go to Discord the end result is DMs in the middle of the night from people wanting to talk to me about stupid shit about their lives or begging me to write wiki pages or some other such nonsense, until the density of these become so uncomfortable I just wind up ghosting everyone. We are not the same. >The purpose is to discuss a hobby That's not happening here. This board is dead. >have r/a/dio stream This will not happen here because moderation is useless and the boon of creating this would be to generate interest insofar as letting users take an active role of "DJing" their own radio station. >just stream anime for your other board members This has no place on imageboards and low effort activity that controls the direction of discussion and board's interests should not be encouraged. (similar to dailies/storytimes) >Most of what you said, can be boiled down to the fact that the people posting in 2025 are not the same people that used to post in 2004 Since you have not made an argument I will say you are simply incorrect, and I have made the argument for this in my above statements. >If so, then perhaps Reddit is more to your liking. I don't use Reddit because there is too much sockpuppeting, and in addition when I tried it, which was back 2 or 3 years after its founding, (this was very long ago, I don't remember) my stay was very short as I was permanently banned for discussing things which seem to be discussed regularly there now, (loli) so I prefer not to use it out of principle due to it being a place of bias and low quality secondhand information, much like current year 4chan.

>Does moderating an imageboard attract lower IQ individuals, than something like Reddit/MAL/Discord? One need only look at Reddit/MAL/Discord to know the answer is no.

>>66203 Isn't the current admin of 4chan literally a fat dysgenic pajeet that's obsessed with nazism

>>66204 >nazism I see nothing wrong there.

>>66207 Getting involved in normal politics is stupid, getting involved in radical politics is idiotic, and centering your platform around white supremacy while being a brown 60 IQ subhuman is just plain questionable. I really don't know how anyone can defend imageboard mods when rapeape exists. 4chan didn't get hacked because of an innocent accident, it got hacked due to neglect and stupidity. A decade of it, actually.

>>66210 letting people make their own boards = white supremacy

>>66238 You seem to be very confused. That's okay.

Hitler was a jew, so the subhuman indian being a nazi is not strange You are a subhuman too for crying about nazism

>>66263 This sounds totally sane and reasonable.

Guys I don't know what I should do. I feel like anime, manga etc. is best enjoyed alone in isolation. Everytime I try to engage with others, read posts or comments I get caught up and feel depressed afterwards. I don't know why this is happening. I don't understand and can't relate to most of the things people have to say. I don't like the negativity and the asinine topics people bring up. I regret the time I've spend trying to understand people. I need to quit going to imageboards and twitter wasting my time on stupid shit and enjoy anime again. Alone without someone telling me how I should feel about it.

>>66397 Of course it's enjoyed best on your own. Only by yourself can you read and watch in peace. What you you like and why will never match anyone else.

>>66397 And yet you're here posting that, curious.

>>66399 I think my issue is that I can't unplug from it. I need to get away from the internet period. Me going back everytime just makes it worse and worse. I want to forget all the shit I've read online. In the end its just entertainment and I don't want my enjoyment to be ruined anymore. >>66400 I know right? But I was once told, that I'm here forever. Offtopic: Why does the validation take so long and why does the cpu usage go up because of it?

>>66437 >Offtopic: Why does the validation take so long and why does the cpu usage go up because of it? It's the Proof of Work bypass check, it was activated because there's a retard spamming extreme crap in a safe for work board.

>>66439 Thanks I didn't know that. I'm on a dual core laptop and was wondering why the fan suddenly started to spin up...

Who in their right mind would add IDs (despite vocal opposition) to a board with long-lasting threads right as you're literally handed a large chunk of the audience from 4fags? Dumber than a sack of rocks, some people

>>66468 And IDs have vocal support besides the BO-BV. Right now the alternative without ID has more users and it's a better known brand. There's literally no real reasons to remove ID right now or in the future.

Dunno how to feel about saturdays this season. I don't post much on the weekends. Like 10 shows drop episodes at once and I feel like I'm always playing catchup.

8DUELS TOURNAMENT IS STARTING NOW https://cytu.be/r/8duels

>>66170 lol I don't know how anyone can stand to use smug. I'm looking at the catalog right now and most of the threads are just someone filling the thread up with images without saying anything and the manga thread is just a handful of niggers acting like they're in an ivory tower while reading the most bottom of the barrel ecchi garbage imaginable. Old 4chan would be rolling over in their graves if they saw such a place.

>>66471 >vocal support Sure, a handful of people shouting the loudest in the meta thread and shutting down all counter-discussion with strawmen. And just as many (if not more) people who hated IDs, voicing dissent, but shutdown by a single part-time Board Volunteer. If there was actually majority support (or hell even any real support at all), then the PPH wouldn't have plummeted 99.99%. Yet here we are. This is the perfect lesson for you. Maybe you'll finally learn that "vocal" does not equal "consensus". But I bet you still won't learn a thing. Enjoy your failed board.

>>66699 >insists upon himself I'm not interested in discussing, my "interjection" was just a reminder of a fact that you ignored. Period.

>>66705 >I'm not interested in discussing Tell us something we don't know. You can suck off the BVs all you want, although I would advise you to stop hopping IDs like a no-good shitstirrer. Doesn't help your case :^)

>>66397 I agree in a lot of ways. Lots of people I've seen on halfchan lately seem to have a bone to pick against the strangest things.

>>66968 I have to admit that I do suffer from OCD which is contributing to how I feel and act. Still though I would not recommend anyone especially those who are new to the anime spiel to be on the internet and rather just watch stuff.

>>66400 I mean posting on chan's can be done at your leisure, these last 3-4 years I've been watching anime with a online friend and honestly I don't enjoy it as much but it's a sacrifice to try and keep a connection when they're few and far between, last season though I kinda ghosted in a little just so I could get in more shows by myself

>Come to 8 and let's chat about anime! >:kiss: how about your fix your website first

>"Fix your website!!" >says the guy from the imageboard that was nuked with a pdf upload Lel

>>67334 At least I can access it without a VPN because it's not flagged as a cheese pizza website in my country. The other altchans that I visit don't have that problem btw.

So my unique thread was deleted... because why? I'm so done trusting random anon dictators la~

>>67455 Check the logs, they generally specify the reason for deleting threads. https://8chan.moe/logs.js?boardUri=a

>>67456 Nah, sorry, no good reason I don't need to 'check'. /a/ and /b/ here are not much better than on 4/netorare la~

So now that the dust has settled what is it about meta threads that attracted so much menheraphrenia? I've been baiting ack for a bit on the /ghost/ thread it's stuck on, and that menhera is equally as obsessed with "post quality" and shit posting as the rest of all the tweakers here, ominaifag, id fags, SL fag and whoever else was here

>>67580 I'm just waiting on a permanent ban, dude.

>>67580 >SL fag The korean fags literally left the board after making two threads and made their own board without causing more problems here unlike the "concerned" anons. All the problems related to manwhas in this board were caused by a single deranged anon spamming racists memes in the krg containment thread. Although I know that in 4/a/ there were pol-soyjk retards baiting with SL and far more retards taking the low effort baits.

>>67582 Most of your menhera kind here even at the height of 4chan being down spam switching ids weren't permad, good luck with that >>67625 Yeah the deranged one is what I mean, I should call him anti SL anon prolly to clear up things, I saw it raging against shit posters and Reiwa kodomo quality posts thinking it'd lead to a demon curse as it's excuse for wanting to clean up the board and post quality, acks got akemi as it's bogeyman, and ominaifag has like storytimers/Reiwa kodomos/furries and whatever else it's delusional about I wasn't around to see the older infamous ones, barney fag or the like, but I'd assume they were just as paranoid and would flock to meta threads like this theorizing about who's behind posts

whats considered "low quality"? seasonal shit? one word? does my thread need to be a paragraph long? might as well nuke it all

>>67582 People were asking about you on the kojika daily in 4chan, you know.

>>67757 Dailies do not yield interesting discussion.

>>67932 I’ve been missing you Mahirocutie...

>>66397 I've been thinking this for a while. 4chan used to be a site for creative nerds and it was genuinely fun and insightful to read what other people had to say. Gradually like the Ship of Theseus it changed and became a site for genuinely depressed losers, in part due to /pol/ and /r9k/, as well as the censorship of the internet in general. People on 4chan lost the ability to write their opinion and now it's all just one sentence shitposting for maximum attention. Nerdy hobbies are best enjoyed alone. Even film. I find my enjoyment of a movie to be so much greater alone than with a family member. I feel like I can't enjoy shit with other people. Other people don't just enjoy shit, they always posture and pose. Fuck sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys art and pop culture.

>>67932 You need to take responsibility for what you caused.

>>68016 I looked at the catalogue and now there's 20 dailies and storytimes there and none of them have decent discussion, and KnJ is the only manga being dumped that's above a 5/10 in quality. The rest of the catalogue is dumb bait spilling in from all these shitty generals. You cannot have decent discussion on something that's stretched out for 50+ consecutive days, its not possible. Just like this place, instead of removing 1 storytime the mods would rather have a slower board than /vore/. Why should I contribute if people aren't willing to do the bare minimum? If people wanted to discuss manga then they shouldn't have flooded the catalogue with dailies.

https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/278873637 Absolutely fucking pathetic. You're losers who resort to spamming your dead board now.

So why do you fucks still have reddIDs, even though they were supposed to be a temporary experiment to help with moderation or something during the influx of 4chan users? Elevating your dead board to 2 (TWO) PPH with this post!

>>68062 This is the exact kind of pathetic self important rant I was missing. I love you, onimaifaggot. You make me feel better about myself.

>>68066 >still obsessed with IDs (pic1) There's literally 0 reasons to remove IDs now and in the future. That applies to /a/ and the other main boards. >>68065 >obviously that anon isn't a troll using 8c as spam material to defame this website and using exactly the same tactics as certain anti-/v/ degenerate (pic2) >also ironic "self hating" anon Many such cases, none of them interesting or relevant.

>>68062 >KnJ is the only manga being dumped that's above a 5/10 in quality Why do you hate Yotsuba?

>>68076 It's been dumped like 8 times already and has ongoing dumps anyways. You can literally compare it to previous dumps to see how boring and formulaic 4chan has gotten.

Warned you about ID

the best thing about IDs is that they prove I'm not samefagging when I use two or three IP addresses to samefag

Ominaifag what happened to never going back to 4chan? I see you're having another menhera meltdown yet again, are you losing it without id's again

>>68073 >There's literally 0 reasons to remove IDs Other than the board being dead? Just they way you wanted, huh?

>>68425 >lets see the 3 most dead boards, oh wait...

>>68423 What is he sperging about this time?

>>68451 Trying to argue it's pseud stuff vs the Vineland saga spergs kek and can't stop mentioning it's paranoia about samefagging and how they're all his bogeyman, they outed it immediately for being a reddit tourist that went straight to /pol/ and /v/ first to talk about trump

>>68497 A nice thing about IDs is you can see how insanely mentally ill someone is. I feel quite vindicated.

>>68504 Did you feel bad about getting baited by your demons again, you already mentioned that? Or are you feeling bad for your fellow menheras, maybe you should try white knighting for ack and your fellow TS onimaifag who spam samefags anti Yuri threads about men because it doesn't like that yurifags don't like onimai

>>68497 I think I found the thread. This chart might as well be a calling card.

>>67580 >So now that the dust has settled what is it about meta threads that attracted so much menheraphrenia? Shitposters pulling cards from the jew playbook and trying to subvert the new place they arrived at.

>>68012 >Gradually like the Ship of Theseus it changed and It wasn't gradual at all, rapeape intentionally nuked /a/ with the narutard apocalypse back in the day and then a second pajeet horde nuke was dropped on /jp/ with the refusal to make a vtuber board until the original /jp/ was less than ashes.

Hey BO, I'm not sure if you've saw this already given that it was posted earlier this week but the site's archive system is now online: >>>/site/14626 I think this could be used to preserve some of the more notable large dead threads that are past Page 26 like the /gup/ thread that's sitting there since the system removes the threads from the catalog and locks them so no one messes with them. The only problem with this is that there's currently no way to view a list of archived threads but it's better than them simply falling off the catalog.

>>68868 > simply falling off the catalog. The only deleted old threads were archived by justwannahelp in /aarchive/, manually and using .ph instead of using global power to move threads

Reposting this cause my post wasn't very well written out: Hello from >>>/rwby/ just here to say hi and ask if you'd like to be Board Friends with us. We're a top board like /a/ so we're fairly visible. We're board friends with >>>/jp/ and it would help all our boards get more users without shilling on netorarechan, as would crossposting. As a show RWBY has a big Japanese fanbase for our "american anime". In turn, fans of RWBY have interests in hobbies typical to /jp/, (anime, VA's, fanart, figurines, etc.) Plus RWBY has roots in Japanese culture from animation to writing, character designs, etc. has a crossover with Blaz Blue and has an anime version, several manga adaptations, a Japanese dub and a Japanese LN. On a more personal side Your CSS is pretty neat, and we put in a fairly comparable level of effort for our own CSS, with some inspiration from yours. Reply or post in the /rwby/ mod thread if you're open to this. Cheers, Rusty

>>68868 Sorry for the late reply. I still haven't tested the archive system yet, I'll do that soon. The thing is we still don't know if the archive system will be permanent since 8 has limited storage from what I understand so I'm not sure if we should really rely on it. >>69279 Okay, sure! Thank you. Also does your name intentionally have the stuff after the #?

>>69338 Sorry, I was AFK. Yes, the hash is a TripCode, so people don't namefag as me. I don't like Role Signatures.

>>69340 Okay. (^_^)

What went wrong here?

>>69511 WDYM?
