Unironically this
>Suddenly all gacha related threads stop having posts

Let board owners and volunteer shadow-ban spammers so that posts still appear client side when they post them but do not get saved server side.

This, bonus points if the captcha changes every x weeks so that one day it's the hexadecimal crap we have right now, another is kana, another time it's some image recognition crap etc. to keep pajeets on their toes.

>First, it has too many pages
We are not trying to serve dopamine addicts here
>but loading a 1k thread so many times gets tiring after a while
Use the Last option when clicking on a thread, better yet add them to your RSS feed so you can only see the latest replies
>Second, the rules about thread creation are too tight, I've gotten a few threads bumplocked because the OP did not contain a entire essay explaining what the game is or what I wanted to discuss.
You don't need to put War and Peace on the OP, you just have to give a compelling reason for your thread. Don't really know what threads you made, could you link them here? In general though:
- "Discuss X" with a single image is not a compelling reason.
-Shilling a new game without at least trying to give it away for free is not a compelling reason either.
-The only threads allowed to get away with either are those grandfathered in because we have way too many faggots who would get upset otherwise and we don't wanna encourage that behavior any further than that.
>Third, this board feels like a forum, not a bulletin imageboard, there's good discussion yes but things only flow for short while then stale due to lack of new discussions.
Again, this is by design. We don't want threads that move at breakneck speed where nothing of value is ever posted and people are just trying to bait or tiltillate each other or both. The gacha threads and gamergate are enough to keep the autism in check.
>Fourth, the bumplimit count is too high, it almost feels like 4vg
We recently upped it because of the Fugees, but no one bothered to turn it off again because, honestly, it's better to have a bunch of huge, empty threads than having a billion new posts drown the actually good ones whenever something or other happend and people flock to 8chan in droves.
>My other question is, has this place always been like this?
Depends on what you mean by that, we have always had spikes and lows of activity, on average we're the biggest alt-chan that isn't monothematic or strictly /b/-tier.

The black Americans who were sent to Liberia adopted the same Master-Slave mentality their owners used to have, and were despised by the Africans because of that. It's just human nature to wish for less freedom and more control.

>and no new discussion comes up because everyone already talked about everything
If the game truly has no other avenues for discussion then it shouldn't be discussed, either. Otherwise you end up with the Katawa Shoujo general situation they have on 4chan.
