>>21320 >This board is nothing but shitposting that would get you banned on 4chan. Porn threads, stupid memes, funposting. If anything 4chan /v/ is more serious discussion focused You should be a comedian, you know that? There's a reason /v/ has the HIGHEST thread deletion rate of any board on 4chan. This is replicating the typical /v/ experience, only difference is instead of a single thread type getting deleted and then put back up, the thread just stays up. The catalog is functionally identical to 4chan /v/, there's a reason Mark or Acid are directing hafu newfags here. This is what 4/v/ is like.

>>21324 You're wrong. This is what 4chan /v/ SHOULD be like. But it's not, and you're being disingenuous.

>>21307 >You love the offtopic spam. Most of the time it was funny, so yes. I am on /vb/ instead of /v/, after all. >You love the porn spam. Not really, it was only funny when it was done to spite jannies, like "vidya butts" and "a deal's a deal". Otherwise, actual porn threads are pretty uninteresting. Just look at how much less popular /b/, /trash/ and the actual porn boards were. >You love the constant drama talk, constant eceleb threads, constant meandering political threads. Drama and eceleb talk is fun when it's someone someone related to /v/ like Chris Chan or DSP. When it's normie drama involving people I hate, like iDubbbz vs h3h3 or whatever, I could not care less. Political threads were absolutely the worst fucking threads on the site and I couldn't browse /v/ at the peak of the Baldur's Gate 3 and Assassin's Creed: Shadows outrage. It was insufferable.

>>21331 >This is what 4chan /v/ SHOULD be like. But it's not, and you're being disingenuous. You're the one being disingenous, acting like sales threads are a significant impact on 4/v/ whatsoever. 4/v/ is this >Porn spam (gets deleted and put back up) >Thinly veiled porn threads (Typically hit bump limit) >WEG threads (always hit bump limit) >Drama threads (Get deleted and put back up) >Political threads (get deleted and put back up) >Eceleb threads (get deleted and put back up) >constant spam of latest thing to get mad about That's /v/. That's 90% of the board at a given time. And look at this board, it's just that, only difference is people being more open about the porn part. >>21334 >Political threads were absolutely the worst fucking threads on the site and I couldn't browse /v/ at the peak of the Baldur's Gate 3 and Assassin's Creed: Shadows outrage. It was insufferable. Newfag

>>21337 Oh, you're a /pol/tard. Well that explains it. Proselytize elsewhere faggot. >And look at this board, it's just that, only difference is people being more open about the porn part. The atmosphere here is significantly different and if you weren't a tourist you'd see that quickly.

>>21347 >Oh, you're a /pol/tard No I'm not actually. In fact, /pol/tard is the cry of every retarded /v/ermin who thinks that /pol/ had any real influence on the site. /v/ became politically charged because of posters on /v/. That's what happened. The site your posting on is an extension of an aftereffect of the incident that caused that. >The atmosphere here is significantly different and if you weren't a tourist you'd see that quickly. Yeah keep telling yourself that. I'm sure it's different when fags like you probably had filters set up to direct you to the nearest trough to get your daily shitposting and ragebait content, but for someone like myself, who just looks at the unfiltered catalog, this is the exact same shit.

>>21337 >Newfag Fuck off retard, I've been on the site since 2005 and /v/ since 2007. Gamergate ruined the fucking board. I don't even disagree with anything GGers assert, journalists are revolting niggers who absolutely conspire to create false consensus and shape public opinion. But /v/ became absolutely ruined by the permanent culture war it initiated. So many grifting faggots got popular and so many shitty games got free marketing from people spamming threads about them 24/7. I thought it was all false flagging at first because of how outrageous the OPs were getting and all of the inorganic replies complaining about "anti-woke fatigue". I don't give a fuck about any of the AAA wokeslop and the best thing you can do against it is not make threads about or ignore them. Not flood the catalog for weeks about it.

>>21352 >ruined the board It's what the people using the board wanted.

>>21354 I certainly didn't want it, because any other oldfag who witnessed Chanology knew the utter failure that ended up becoming and that Gamergate was headed for the same fate. At least there were a lot of sincere anons that started noticing things after the way it played out and moved beyond just mere ethics in video game journalism.

>>21299 Half of the threads there are every single variation of HMOFA, so I hope you think she fucks human men exclusively

>>21352 >Gamergate ruined the fucking board tortanic did irreparable damage to /v/ and if you've actually been posting for as long as you're pretending you have i don't know how you could even think otherwise. /v/ was already a zombie board by the time gamergate rolled around you disingenuous faggot

>>21460 Tortanic was stupid in hindsight and definitely solidified the doompost culture of people trying to turn everything into the next flop. But even at its worst, it only manifested as /v/irgins trolling the developers on the BioWare forums. Tortanic was not even the cause, it was just the evolution of the negativity that was central to /v/ from the start. People have always taken pleasure in games doing poorly or flopping on /v/, whether it be Twilight Princess, Haze, Spore, Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, etc. Even console wars were always core to the culture of the board, hell the most famous meme of all time on /v/ is PS3 HAS NO GAMES. Gamergate became bigger than the board and brought in hordes of newfags and outsiders not just to /v/, but to all of 4chan. They saw the RAGE and schadenfreude that pervaded the board, then perverted that energy for political activism and initiated a culture war that is still ongoing. There's a reason this infamous graph has a massive spike in the middle of 2014 and not at the end of 2011. >/v/ was already a zombie board by the time gamergate rolled around you disingenuous faggot I admit I started browsing /v/ in early 2007, so I'm not an originalfag. But the state of /v/ right before Gamergate was hardly a "zombie board". /v/ was long past the era when people started migrating en masse from /b/ and half the board became attention whoring tripfags. It was even past the the peak of shitposting where people were spamming dubs, Piccolo dick, Costanza faces, and Galo Sengen every day. Even throughout all of this, /v/ always kept a nice balance of video games and off topic threads and most importantly, nothing was taken seriously. The cracks only started to show in 2012/2013, when proto-Gamergate shit started happening like the outrage over Feminist Frequency, the Mighty No. 9 community manager, and Fire Emblem censorship happened. /v/ was not a zombie board by the time Gamergate happened, it was a bridge that had structural weaknesses that only became noticeable right before it collapsed.

>>21316 not being able to eke out serious discussion on ifunny is entirely a skill issue, but yes you are right. i do love it.

>>18939 You forgot to mention this place being "hard to find", i.e. not being the first thing that pops up when you search for it while being a well-known site. Plenty of normalfaggots and technologically illiterate browsed 4chan, plain and simple.

>>18939 This 4chan is a glowie honeypot and they're gonna honeypot harder that it's a target of sharty now

>>21049 It's relative. It's fine if you check in on your threads a couple of times a day while doing something else. But if you try to kill time on here you'll be bored to tears. It's hard to hold a discussion on slower boards too since nobody replies within in several hours so most people don't bother asking the questions they would had this been 4chan. As others have said, it really is like keeping up with a pen-pal. You have to check in once a day, reply to any posts and lay out questions and leave without looking back, be real stoic.

>>21254 Imma be honest bro I have no fucking clue what /f/ was even about Why should I be sad about it being gone?

>>21307 No I actually wanted to discuss games that are too dei free for redditors without seeing some faggot post their obnoxious astroturfed fomo pozzed games for once so the serious /v/ is alright.

>>21604 So you love the constant drama, got it.

>>21596 /f/ was a board for flash games and movies and was pretty much one of the only boards not really touched by modern internet. It's really only sad to those of us who had experienced 4chan in the 2000s, or at least before /v/ and /pol/ started attracting some the worst kinds of retards to the site.

4chan is back up now but I don't know if we can post on it yet

>>22139 Seems like it. It's a shame. I was getting comfy here.

>>22139 Nevermind, we actually can post on it now but it seems kinda buggy

>>22139 >>22174 Maybe 8/v/ will be usable now.

>>22175 Guess we'll see by tomorrow. I think most of the generalfags will move back to vg on 4chan.

Aaaaaaaand it's gone back down

/v/ already flooded with pajeet content farm threads and bots LOL LMAO

>>22374 Yeah. The switch thread at least. They didn't waste any time.

>>22374 >>22381 it'll be lol if switch 2 flops like the wii u even with the benefit of shill farms

Kill all 4chan cucks

I left 4chan once before during the first exodus and I stayed here and exclusively posted only here up until the site was taken down by feds, I only went back to 4chan after that. As long as you faggots promise to keep it around 5000PPH across all boards I'm perfectly fine waiting longer for responses. If you fuck this up a 2nd time I will seriously never mentally recover. I want to commit genocide against 4chan moderators for what they've turned my culture and people into.

at this point /v/ is just nintendogaf

>>25493 >all that niggerbabble Some people just need to stop communicating.

>>25511 >I'm old and jaded: the post remember l33t speak and other silly memes from your youth and think long and hard about your retardation nigger

>>25493 4/v/ is too brown to be nintendogaf

I like it here ;)
