if youre interested in consolidating the non-id splits, the owner of >>>/a2/ wants to give up that board >>>/a/43771

>>9 That's correct. I am here.

>>4 he wants to give the board to the first one who posts their 8chan username >>>/a2/82 you can consolidate and redirect to one board

>>11 I was sleeping at time, wasn't able to claim it, Sorry.

>>12 understandable, but it's now claimed by an under-18-year-old dbsfag who though it would be funny to ban the previous owner >>>/a/45565 i hope you're ready for an influx of new users.

>>14 >under-18-year-old dbsfag I can hear you, you know. You are all trying to create new /a/ boards when the current one with IDs is perfectly fine.

>>14 Yeah... I might look into hiring some vols if the board starts getting more traffic >>15 I just wanted a slower alternative for /a/. I don't gaf about IDs but it makes me sad that people are leaving over them.

>>16 >a slower alternative for /a/ I thought you just removed ID's, but that's even worse. You even kept the captchas.

>>17 Well do you want me to remove them?

>>19 I'll try to The rules are basically the ones that are outlined in the pinned post and those won;t change. I have no desire to do selective bans, i want to please the community. I can vol you if you send me your username with proof you are the the poster in question >>slow board Yeah it was supposed to be an alternative rather than a replacement. But if /a/nons are going migrate I don't mind if it'll become faster.

>>21 Done I'll try and do my best, but I don't want to disappoint you since I might not be up your standards, I don't selective ban or anything it's just more I don't do well under pressure, so forgive me if I fuck up in some way, I'll try and rectify it if I can.

>>21 you're impersonating me, ignore him bo >>22 i will prove to you i made these posts by deleting them, remove >21

>>26 Okay I already made him vol ill unvol in the meantime

>>26 Yeah it seems like you're the real guy now that I'm checking the IDs

>>29 my username is mbnmpt i will now delete >>19, please confirm you are here

>>30 Done

>>32 ok i deleted >>19, can you see it? i checked my login page and i'm vol'd on animu, so i think we're good

>>33 I can't see it, no.

>>34 good. posting >>19 again for future reference. >>15 >nobody is going to post on /a2/ if you act like an immature faggot and don't set clear rules and don't follow them >>16 i might unironically volunteer if you promise to be a sane board owner who is transparent with board policies and enforcement and doesn't engage in pointless powertripping and selective bans like that tranny janny justwannahelp in /a/. this means no wordfilters or if you have them, then they better be minimal and very well justified. and no id-s of course. in general 4/a/ rules that are actually followed. i just want to post about cute anime girls doing cute things on an anonymous imageboard without having to fear the janny being on his period again and deciding to go on a banning spree over every trigger word. >>17 >slow board huh? that was his original intention. that goes out of the window of actual /a/nons are forced to migrate here. as for captchas, whatever, it doesn't break my anonymity on front of other users and may deter spammers for a bit.

>>35 That's good I'm sorry if i mess up and end up doing selective bans or ban someone incorrectly because I don't intend to and I don't want to disappoint you

>>36 you're fine. just try your best to be impartial and ban or delete posts only when they violate the publicly written board rules, not your opinions or tastes in anime, and be honest and transparent with the users, and you'll be better than 90% of the jannies on 4/a/ and 8/a/. >I don't want to disappoint you the bar is already set very low, so don't worry too much. I can't be here 24/7 since i have a full-time job, but i'll try to come here whenever i have free time and help out as much as possible. i am just very pissed right now at both 8/a/ mods and 4/a/ mods at how few shits they give about /a/nons.

>>37 mbnmpt is it okay if I make you BO instead? Although I understand you have a full time job, you seem like a much better fit for the position than I am. I don't mind being a vol here but after thinking about it for a while being a BO would probably be too big of a responsibility for me especially since I'm already feeling the pressure of this. Although if you're unable to I'm fine being BO I just don't think I'll be able to moderate properly... I trust you since I don't want this place to end up like /a2/ with some random faggot at the helm. Thanks

>>44 i am open to it. can you wait until the weekend though since i'll have more time then? i haven't been a board owner on 8chan before and don't want to screw this up. if you have any materials or docs or websites about being a BO, let me know. i'll still be a volunteer here as much as possible. an even if you want to give the BO role to me, I'd still appreciate if you could volunteer as a moderator. and if any other competent anons could.

>>15 The people against IDs have legitimate reasons for it. You don't have to agree with it, that's fine. But attempting to take over a board and ban the previous guy "because it's funny", and then attempting to say "no it's because the one with IDs was fine", means that you're not of a high enough intellect or maturity to continue the conversation. >>18 captchas are never preferred. they're only a good idea to have if you have spam problems / abuse problems. >>44 Not that it matters, but I used to be a chan mod. I don't know 8chan's structure, but for the most part the only thing an admin needs to be responsible for is not nuking everything and reigning in other mods if needed. If you want to leave most moderation to other mods / jannies / whatever the terminology is here, that's perfectly acceptable. Especially if you take the hands off position. Delete illegal content, delete spam, delete rule breaking, and then just ignore the rest. It's a valid position to take if you're insecure about your judgement. As well, you'll grow more secure as you do it more, so don't worry about it.

>>49 >i am open to it. can you wait until the weekend though since i'll have more time then? Sure > if you have any materials or docs or websites about being a BO, let me know. There's a moderation manual in the user page (the one with the key), should be helpful >I'd still appreciate if you could volunteer as a moderator. I will offer to be vol even if I give up the position, i'll think more about it over the week. I'm just not used to this amount of pressure >>50 >captchas are never preferred. I will remove them and see how it goes If the board gets shat up with low quality junk then I will reenable them I thought I set it up so that you would only have captchas once every 3 posts/threads, though. Not sure why that isn't working. >Delete illegal content, delete spam, delete rule breaking, and then just ignore the rest. It's a valid position to take if you're insecure about your judgement. As well, you'll grow more secure as you do it more, so don't worry about it. Noted.

>>44 Don't stress it, unless there's an influx of new anons, doing things slowly is enough.

>I don't mind being a vol here but after thinking about it for a while being a BO would probably be too big of a responsibility for me especially since I'm already feeling the pressure of this. What kind of pressure exactly? I'd consider stepping up to be a volunteer if you began hiring them.

>>55 >What kind of pressure exactly? It was having the responsibility of managing an entire board, plus I am very insecure about my judgement regarding proper moderation. I think I'll be fine though I'll wait until the weekend and see what happens I can make you a vol if you tell me your username, just don't go overkill, don't selectively ban people and enforce the rules in the pinned welcome post

>>60 Yeah, getting enough volunteers to meet the demand is enough, you may not even need to do any actual moderation of posts yourself in that case if you don't want to.

>>52 sorry bro, you already signaled that you're weak sharks are gonna come circling once they read the thread if you happen to muster up the fortitude to commit to staying board owner, make a fake post saying that board ownership changed hands or some other sleight of hand

All I want from you is to not repeat a2 and give the BO rights to the first person who asked

>>60 please be very careful who you choose as volunteers. ask them questions about anime, especially old ones, and about their attitude to moderation. there are lots of bad actors trying to take advantage of board owners to get into powerful places, some even get off to it. if you are in doubt as to whether someone has good intentions about being a mod, don't give them permissions. i recommend interviewing them right in this thread, publicly, and letting /a/nons snuff out any bad actors. and try turning off the captcha for every post for a little while and see if the board gets flooded. it seems that some are annoyed by it.

>>68 it wasn't letting me before, Idk why, captchas should be off now

>>60 >It was having the responsibility of managing an entire board, plus I am very insecure about my judgement regarding proper moderation. The fact that you're considering this is a good sign by itself. Some other imageboards opt for a "council" style system where punitive measures are only taken after most or all of the mods agree. This tends to lessen the burden of judgement somewhat. My user's "surubeki". I don't like selective bans or powertripping jannies either. Like mentioned before though, it's really unlikely you'll need more than one volunteer (the current one) since you want a slow board. These >>63 >>68 are right, by the way. I have no idea what it is about human psychology that gets people chasing after the tiniest crumb of power, but it happens even in the smallest and most out-of-the-way circles.

>>69 Ok I added you I will try and watch out for people like that, I have the 'tism so I end up being way too trustworthy sometimes which doesn't end well. I will probably limit vols to the ones I have now, I will introduce more when I need to, I want to do an interview type of thing but one of the vols tried that on /a/ and got 0 applications so I'll only add more when I need to.

>>60 >plus I am very insecure about my judgement you single? ;) Really though, stop being afraid. It's not like you're deciding life and death. You permaban someone accidentally, you can just undo it. Other miscellaneous notes: From the rules; >5. Japanese visual novels should be posted in /jp/ I'm iffy on this. Firstly, do you mean native JP VNs (i.e. translated and untranslated) or just untranslated? There are quite a few series that have anime adaptations as well which could make it a tad messier.

>>79 If it has an anime adaptation yes Discussions about vinnies themselves though should go to somewhere like >>>/v/ and it's visual novel general or to >>>/jp/ Both boards can have discussions about translated or untranslated, but most people go to /jp/ for untranslated (or 07/type-moon generals) and to /v/ for translated

Let me be a jannie

Hey, Board Owner, what do you think of >>>/a/47367?

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

>>84 not the board owner, but >I believe there are more compelling arguments for IDs than against in this situation. I'll admit I don't like the idea of IDs much myself, but I believe it might be a necessary evil in the case of this board. >I think a limited and well-made set of filters is fine. I believe the ones that were currently on the board are too broad, so I've already rolled back what I believe to be the most frequent ones that could be used innocently enough by anons. There's a few there that I don't know enough about and I'm open to hearing arguments for and against any potential word filters, including ones that were rolled back. >With regards to me temporarily transferring the board ownership to one of my volunteers, that was basically a test run and trust exercise of sorts. I'm not sure if I'm interested in running this board depending on what happens. I have a life and I'd like to enjoy it (and by that I mean watch and play shit). I'm no different from any of you in that sense. >I've been pretty laissez-faire about moderation because I care about freedom, but also because I don't understand your culture very much. I haven't been on 4chan in probably a decade now, and even the few times I used it were not for any boards like /a/ there. I've been letting my volunteers handle things a lot because they are like any of you and should have more knowledge and understanding of the challenges and unique autists you deal with. >I understand and agree with the need for freedom, but imagine a police force of 3 people having to handle an entire city and then telling them they have to do it blind on top of it too. The nature of anonymity makes it that much more difficult to handle a place like this. >Unfortunately, I've come to find that a few of the problem individuals need the rod more than they need a gentle hand but I've still generally tried to be gentle. If my volunteers' punishments feel harsh or unfair, let me know, but it probably comes from a place of experience of dealing with autists and terrible moderation and finally having the solutions to deal with them, and they potentially might get a bit overzealous in the process. It still ultimately comes from a place of wanting the board to be the best it can be, and they've ultimately done far more good than harm. grim. so many words just to say "i understand your concerns. nothing will change. deal with it." the /a/ board owner is an unironic normalfag who doesn't understand nor care to understand chan culture and he picked a powertripping tranny as his successor. i really hope most of the support for id-s and word filters was astroturfed, because otherwise... yotsuba really is dead.

>>96 also, there's >>>/a/48721. apparently a bunch of 1 post per IP shills showed up out of nowhere advocating for adding IDs to /m/, but the owner was smart enough not to do it. i wouldn't be surprised if the same happened on /a/. a lot of the pro-ID posters glowed so much if you're familiar with manufactured consent influence operations from browsing /pol/. it's certain word choices that real anons don't use, implicit value assumptions that are antithetical to chan culture, and the whole >hello fellow anons kind of gut feeling that you aren't speaking to real /a/nons, but either AI or sockpuppets who are following a script tailor made for pushing a certain narrative.

>>97 >/m/ not being a retard and actually using critical thinking I kneel.

>>96 I didn't double check but it felt like there was a new Id(1) defending ids most times someone wanted them gone

I know I said I would wait a week but It's getting to me now mbnmpt you are now board owner. I don't have enough trust in myself to run this board properly You seem like you understand this more than me and so you will do well in the position. Remember to just read through the moderation manual which explains a lot of a 8chan moderation stuff (it's very easy to understand) I will stay as a vol and I will try to properly moderate Sorry I let you guys down I just don't have enough trust in myself to run this board correctly

>>156 fyi mbnmpt i made a new acc I no longer use hixxy but i use QAZWSXEDCRFVTGBY instead (excuse the name i couldn't think of anything else) so if you decide to make me vol again add that user

>>44 cute BO

Please just don't turn it into another loli board.

If 4chan was dead forever, I'd help out. But it will probably back. Two more weeks.

Is this board dead too? a2 just died Are mods here good or are you faggots just trannies like the /a/ ones

>>226 Is this board dead too? not yet I don't think, but the og BO here couldn't handle being at change at all >Are mods here good or are you faggots just trannies like the /a/ ones nothing has happened yet

Since "most" posts in this board comes from /gup/ and im active in /gup/ all the time i think i should be a ja- board volunteer

>>226 >a2 just died What do you mean by that? It looks fine to me.

Since /a/ is moderated powertripping retard who bans people as "trolling" if he can't make an argument against someone, I hope that's not the case in here.

>>266 Its BO literally said to go to /animu/. This board just had a BO change. Everything on 8chan might die when 4chan is back (/abdl/ becoming one of the top boards again and shit). It's not clear if there's a potential BO who's motivated and available enough. The situation is very unclear and volatile.

>>4 Can I say nigger freely and hate on brown smelly shonen latinx and yuri fags? If so I might consider staying.

>>276 Yeah I just came here because of this. He’s clearly a 4cuck bitch.

>>276 I don't know why he even has a meta thread when he just outright fights everything he's against. He recently just went full mask off and admitted it and is now just making passive aggressive posts. I wanted to use a board along with 4chan but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

>>156 hixxy I added you as a vol, any help from you is appreciated. >>159 If you are hixxy, please post as a vol. There was already an impersonator earlier in the thread who faked a screenshot with a (You). >>174 I don't intend to turn it into a porn dump. For now I'd say all official manga and anime screenshots are allowed, but fan-made coombait should be spoilered. I'm only going to spoiler it myself if it gets reported and I find the image sufficiently obscene/bad faith, such as Yotsuba cunny. We'll see how it goes. >>184 Trust the plan! >>226 >>276 I pledge to try my best not to be a faggot. >>248 I'll consider it if we get more activity. Be ready to prove you're not a reddit normalfag. >>277 I'm here though... >>282 Yes, free speech is absolute as long as it's at least somewhat relevant to the thread topic.

>>325 test

>>326 fuck hold on let me get on hixxy

>>327 test can you add the other account as vol instead, since that's the account I use.

>>328 post your account name again

>>184 We can coexist with 4/a/.

>>330 It's behind the spoiled text on >>159

>>333 I'm sorry but I'm paranoid. Hixxy please post your new account name as a vol in your name field.

>>336 Added. Sorry for doubting you so much. Should I keep hixxy account as a vol or remove it?

>>338 Remove thanks

>animu is currently on the default top boards list It's happening

>>344 We did it reddit! Please clap

>>344 You're right, on the very bottom. Thanks, Guppers.

>>4 Which one of you faggot jannies deleted >>311 and >>218 instead of spoilering it?

>>353 https://8chan.moe/logs.js?boardUri=animu

>>351 >>>/a/

>>355 How do you even read this?

>>359 You search for the board you want to check logs for and then you click on one of the dates and then you can check the moderation logs of a board.

>>353 I'm the only other janny besides hixxy, looks like he vol'd me Of the three posts I deleted one was my own, two were repeat posts in /gup/ that looked like spam. Dunno about the others. Also hi

>>353 That’s my own post, it was duplicate and I deleted it.

>>355 >https://8chan.moe/logs.js?boardUri=animu Holy kek I'm a retard. Can't believe I forgot that after going through the mod logs on /a/. I looked at the logs, and neither surubeki nor hixxy deleted >>311 or >>218, so it was the poster. Sorry for calling you faggots. >>364 Yeah sorry I'll try not to turn this into that spiderman meme. >>362 Yes, I would also consider replying 'nigger' 4 times to a post spam. Hi. Anyway, mods, please delete only if posts are clearly spam, go against board rules, or are illegal. If you see especially obscene 2D NSFW, spoiler it. Only delete 3DPD pron. As for what's 'obscene', I think Gelbooru's "explicit" rating is a good baseline. >Rating:Explicit >- Exposed genitals, including the pussy, penis, and anus, whether censored or uncensored. >- Explicit sex acts, including sex, fellatio, masturbation, handjobs, fingering, sex toy use and so on. >- Sexual bodily fluids (cum, pussy_juice etc.) >- Guro, extremely graphic violence (gore, dismemberment, etc), and NSFL content. https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=&s=view&id=2535

So complicated, why not just define nipples, dick, anus, or pussy visible as NSFW and spoiler that? But not like it's the most important issue.

>>344 Thanks to my /gup/ thread

>>373 i like the pps in there

>>372 I don't think browsing /animu/ at work is a good idea in the first place, so if your boss catches you looking at anime tiddies that's mostly a (You) problem. I think mods spoilering in response to a report needs more justification than merely exposed genitalia. Unfortunately for /a/utists the world of 2D is more nuanced than that.

>>377 I’m ok with that, but you still shouldn’t allow threads to devolve into porn dumb as many tend to do that.

>>377 What is the purpose of spoilers?

>>382 I've heard that there do, in fact, exist anons who don't want to get baited with the sweet, sweet indulgence of carnal desires in innocent-looking threads. Spoilers are a compromise. The lewd posters get to post, and those who want muh >anime is serious business discussion won't get goatse'd out of nowhere. Live and let live.

Should we get a custom spoiler image? Many may not use this board much or for long but still

The Gup thread is turning upside down. >>384 Even simple nudity awakens carnal desires in me. Is that covered by the gelbooru definition? What is non-obscene NSFW?

>>604 >What is non-obscene NSFW? Swimsuits. Im guessing

I never even quite understood the term NSFW. Like if your boss is gonna be mad at you it's going to be for not working in the first place, not because you're looking at boobs.

>>624 Maybe it's an euphemism, because they wanted to avoid the term pornographic.

>>625 I guess it must be. But why call it that?

>>626 Yeah, sorry, we're referring to pussy, dicks, and tits. Is that better?

>>628 Call it NSFW if you want I don't really care about that part of it

BO i hope you still keep the lights on here, it might be slow but i believe

In hindsight, the /a/ new BO was a fucking faggot. Of course /animu/ never took off because it wasn't very visible and everyone hoped for 4chan to come back, which happened. Chance squandered.

>>701 this place still has the purpose of being a bunker for when something like this happen again

>>604 Even hearing this discussion about the possibility of erotic things awakens carnal desires in me. I'm unsafe to be around for the rest of the day now.

>>702 I agree.

</a/ <tranny jannies </animu/ <no ids what were you thinking

>>709 You want an alternative to /a/, but with IDs?

I'm actually grateful that 4chan had a serious hack because it finally brought the chips down and revealed the ugly truth so many /a/nons were denying. It was r/anime, always had been. There's that famous quote from Solzhenitsyn about how Russians passively let themselves get gulag'd instead of cooperating and fighting for their common interests, when they could have easily won had they had the will. There's another famous quote about every people getting the government they deserve, since it's composed of people, is a reflection of the values of the people and cannot survive without the support of the people, or at least complacency. So, where are all these so-called "based anons", where's this ”/a/ board culture"? All I'm seeing are faggot mods and jannies who are unironic normalfags, hirocunt who couldn't care less in between all his grifting, paid shills, bots, glowniggers, and 4chan being an unsalvageable shithole with the only part of it worth anything being the domain name. And most of all, true ""anons"" who would rather go to reddit/twitter/outside than visit an altchan by changing a couple of characters in the URL bar and then flock back to 4chan like battered housewives as soon as it comes back crying how much they missed sucking janny dick in the cuck cage and will even thank grapenigger for fixing it! Not to mention actual /a/ and /b/ oldfags who now reminisce en masse on reddit about how darn based 4chan was in 2010 when it was dominated by leftist activism and how ebil /pol/ raycists ruined it, so they had no choice but to retreat to corpo walled gardens and start tripfagging about evil corpos. It sure is a mystery. Where are all the /a/nons who just want to discuss or funpost about animu and mango, without getting baited into meaningless drivel about twitter screencaps, the latest isekaislop, or regurgitating memes and buzzwords that are pushed by billionaires through social media algorithms to manufacture consent for power grab #3952? Why aren't they suspicious of the totally-organically-popular gigabased right wing chads who have co-opted otaku culture for the purpose of mind controlling younger generations? Look, those billionaires avatarfag as muh cute chinese cartoon girls, they're literally me! Where's the creativity, the drive to try something new just because fun things are fun? I see less and less point in even lurking on 4chan, not to mention all other recommendation algorithm and bot-infested "social" media. I guess I'll just lurk and post on whatever altchans survive as the Internet continues circling the drain. Not that I mind being one of the last people who likes anonymously shitposting incoherent schizobabble about cute anime girls doing cute things just for the sake of it instead of because some e-celeb or peer group pressured me into farming good goy points on le based edgy hacker site. Don't want to come off as a doomer though. It's possible future generations will learn from this and remake the Internet into something completely new. I just wish my own contemporaries weren't such NPC retards. A man can dream.

>>711 Anyone knows what >>709 said? Isnt /a/ but with IDs just /a/? What other beef does 709 have, is it the powertripping jannies there?

>>713 >incoherent gibberish I found 4chan in 2007, but I still hate /pol/ and never posted on anime reddits. >>715 It was just a shitpost.

Whoever reported >>458, >>450, >>448, I'm not going to delete them. If you see somebody making an ass of himself, point and laugh, preferably with reaction images, instead of reporting everyone you disagree with or whom you hate. My vision for /animu/ rules is to delete only illegal or rule-breaking or glaringly off-topic content, such as spam, so as to avoid users self-censoring and stifling their creativity. It's a slow board right now so there's no need for sacrificing freedom of expression for making janny lives easier and you can't apply 4/a/ moderation standards 1:1 at this PPH because a lot of them were ham-fisted to quickly deal with large volumes of reports, plus all the normalfag jannies banning anons for racism and such. Those who like janny powertripping can just go to 4/a/, so what exactly would /animu/'s niche be in that case? For the same reason I restored >>709. As for what was going on in the GuP thread with mika tranny, I don't want to even give warnings for shitflinging unless they were chimping out especially disruptively, which was not the case. Just ignore, point and laugh, or filter out the namefag. I must admit I'm biased though since I have a soft spot for unhinged schizos as long as they're not shitting up the entire catalog. Also, >>406 was a raildex thread that I created with a pantyshot of Misaka and a schizo NSFW copypasta as the OP, because I thought it was pretty funny, and that got deleted and I got a 1-day ban. I'm not going to post it again but mods please let anons have some fun, policing for ""quality"" is a slippery slope and will piss off users who don't share the same tastes as you. You have to be willing to risk generating controversy by not deleting everything you don't like if you ever want to attract creative, free-thinking people instead of r*ddit NPCs and living in your sanitized echochamber. >>592 I'll probably change the spoiler image soon. Suggestions are welcome. >>604 >>622 I posted in >>371 what I think should be spoilered, but essentially I meant hardcore porn, not all NSFW. Additionally, I think the spoilering should be stricter when OP has clearly stated that he wants a discussion thread, not a porn dump, so e.g. mandatory spoilering for all NSFW images. I think letting the OP decide the moderation standards for his own thread is a good compromise between gooners and effortposters. >>681 >>702 >>707 I intend to continue being the BO for /animu/, since I don't see any great alternatives and nothing stops anons from posting to multiple altchans. 4/a/ is even more cucked than before, 8/a/ is much slower and has IDs and word filters, smugloli (original 8/a/) has too many irrelevant rules, PLW (original 8/animu/) is somewhat okay, but has an AI art, streaming and Vcancer generals as top threads, plus I don't want to give up on 8/animu/, since 8moe is one of the top altchans, kissu is actually okay and I'll keep an eye on it, and shamiko is a porn dump with kirara and avery being literal trannies. The rest are too small. If I end up being the last /a/non posting by myself in the desolate wasteland of altchans as everyone else goes back to r*ddit, xitter, 4cuck, or just joins the normalfag world, so be it. At the end of the day an imageboard is made up of its users. If the users are fun, creative, smart, enterprising, and stand up for themselves, its culture blooms. If it's made up of bots, shills, retards, and normalfags who use it as a discord replacement, you get 4chan. The moderators are to blame insofar as they articulate and enforce the social contract of the board, and thus which kinds of users it attracts. Blaming every slide thread or shitpost that gets lots of (You)s on them is disingenuous, but attracting low-quality users by creating stupid rules or enforcing them selectively is a valid criticism.

>>720 > I don't see any great alternatives We don't we just go to zzzchan/a/? it's a new one, and the rules are more lax than smugtards

>>725 >id's on /a/ hard pass

>>727 you can actually use vpns, any kind of vpns, so ids don't matter.

>>728 did you even read the sticky on this board? you need to go back.

>>725 >>728 you can use vpns here too. i would have understood if you mentioned prolikewoah or something like that but come on man

>>720 Would you consider doing reciprocal cross-advertising with /jp/ and /m/ while things are slow now?

>>725 >>727 Exactly. If you think IDs belong on an image board, you should go back to your home (Reddit). >>728 Why bother? I should go out of my way to VIOLATE THE SPIRIT OF THE BOARD? Plus many VPN nodes are banned (at least here) for 'spam'.

>>733 Sure! I'll add links to them in the board message if they do the same.

>>737 /m/ BO here, /animu/ is officially our friend.

>>740 Thanks! Added!

>>737 Hi BO, /jp/ has accepted /animu/'s friend request >>>/jp/2788

This is a red board now?

>>744 Thank you, added a link to /jp/. >>745 It sure is! Posting NSFW is allowed and rules around free speech are much more lenient here than on /a/, so I changed the theme to Yotsuba.

Sick of 8/a/, what a joke of a board All hail /animu/ >>720 We are internet nomads. We are forced to roam, because we refuse to bow down to normies.

>>746 >It sure is! But why? I can't stand loli and you're just copying the local /a/. They are the designated porn board. What kind of audience do you even want?

you should put the rules in the actual rules page, since that's where many users check to see what's allowed before posting. an empty rules page is a bad sign, and I make sure that it's filled out nicely on my board personally. if you really only want the rules to be listed in the extra pinned thread instead of the dedicated rules page, then at least point users to it from the rules page instead of it just being completely empty and looking like you don't have rules (when of course you do) also loli is anime culture

>>751 loli does a pretty good job gatekeeping the tourists

>>754 Enjoy your honeypot and its 'quality' posters.

>>749 >I can't stand loli >you're copying /a/ Hello newfriend, might I suggest some cool links you should check out? reddit.com/r/anime twitter.com/hashtag/anime 4chan.org/a myanimelist.net crunchyroll.com That should be enough to give you a start. Enjoy exploring the wide world of japanese animation!

>>757 Enjoy your woke anime and its 'woke' posters.

I'm not even into loli but I'll side with those weirdos over faggot redditors

>>754 I don't know about that honestly

>>775 we just saw it happen right here on this website last week

>>751 Thank you for the suggestion, added a link in the rules page.

>>732 >>734 No vpn nodes are banned there at all, judt shows you never bothered checking out. Anyway we will never get anywhere here as long as there’s another /a/ in the same website, a trojan horse by 4/a/ jannies

What exactly do you find wrong with 4chan? Even if you do hate it, there's already plenty of other imageboards. It doesn't seem like there's a reason for this place to exist (especially considering how dead it is, lmao)

>>787 Same could be said of most of the site after the shartpocalypse

>>787 It's only a matter of time before the next 4chan hack.

>>787 >What exactly do you find wrong with 4chan? The leaked janny board is here: https://bvll.neocities.org/j/. Educate yourself before going full retard. >It doesn't seem like there's a reason for this place to exist (especially considering how dead it is, lmao) Thank you for your profound insight. I am sure that 99.99% of websites on the Internet (i.e. almost everything outside the gigacorpo walled gardens) will have no choice but to sudoku themselves after hearing such a decisive argument!

>>795 >BO having a meltdown Also, the janny board looks fine to me

>>800 >>799 It's only me and you here anon.

>>802 >unironically thinking anyone on the internet is real both of you are figments of my imagination and you can't convince me otherwise czechmate schizos btfo

>Original owner makes a pinned thread explicitly stating that the rules are the same as 4/a/ >Original owner decides to give the board to an anon >Second owner replies to the pinned rules thread saying they hate 4chan and that nsfw is now okay Second owner is a fucking retard. There's a reason why you don't have porn on a blue board. Good thing this board is dead.

>>806 Most anons don't seem to think that strongly about NSFW. Do they at least require to spoiler it? I see no rules page anywhere. But the really critical issue is that someone random has ownership now. When 4chan goes down for real, we'll probably have to make another board, because /a/ is ruled by cancer, and /animu/ might have the same problem.

>>809 The rules page is on https://8chan.moe/animu/rules.html You can see the link when you open the reply menu at the top of the page. It redirects to >>2 anyway. >someone random has ownership now Who's not "random"? You? >When 4chan goes down for real, we'll probably have to make another board >we You are welcome to create another board if you are unsatisfied with the present ones and think you can do better, as this is 8chan. Competition is good. Vote with your (you)s and support whichever board you think deserves it. >>806 >There's a reason why you don't have porn on a blue board. Good thing this is not a blue board, then. Porn is recommended to be spoilered, however.
