Why is everyone acting like /a/ is going to die?
/a/ will still be here. You will wake up tomorrow and check the catalog as usual. And nothing will have changed.

You'll be able to tell a vast difference mostly in moderation and how site administration handles things. /a/ may as well already be dead.

I don't think there is going to be a new admin, moot doesn't want all the responsibility to rest on one person so he'll just have mods manage it as a team.

To be honest, 4chan has already changed quite a lot, even during the 11 years when moot was admin.
Of course change is inevitable. I am all for change as long as they are tolerable.
A lot of people applauded 4chan because there are no accounts, and is considered more "free" than other online communities.
I will probably continue to browse 4chan as long as I live. Unless it becomes too stifling like Reddit or Facebook.
>>120177543
But /a/ is the best place to discuss anime. And I don't want to bother watching anime if I can't talk about it with other people who know their shit.

The whole anonymity is what I like most about this place, no bullshit about registering for shit just plane and simple posting, there's no namefagging like there is on places like Reddit and doesn't have the same retarded upvoting system and most importantly Moot does not sell our private information to companies to make himself or others richer. He and this place are truly a bastion of free speech which is slowly being robbed from the internet.
Congrats Moot, you had a great 11 years, I just hope the new admins don't fuck up and decide to make this place more corporate and capitalize on us.

I can't stand them, major dealbreaker.
>>120178364
It very much is the problem. It may not be *your* problem, but it is a huge problem that is prevalent.
For instance, you called me a "fucking retard" just now. Since we are on an anonymized system, I can't do anything to you.
If we were on an identity-based system, that would be bad. If you pissed someone off real badly, he or she could make your life hell. With more information being able to be traced back to you, you are left more vulnerable.
I get your point. You want to remain anonymous so you can call me a "fucking retard" without any consequences. I actually want that, too. I am a proponent of free speech, and I believe that you should have the right to say anything you want without any hindrance to your well-being.
So yes, that IS the problem with usernames and registration, "you fucking retard."
/a/ will become a site where senior citizens bash younglings

moot doesn't know shit about anime.
I don't see why people even care about him.
>>120177642
but if 4chan dies, so do we all.
>>120179136
Excuse me, but I was the one who wrote that post, and I know exactly what I meant.
The more convoluted registration becomes, the more weight your words have.
An anonymized system works best because I can say pretty much anything I want, with little to no consequences.
If I say something while using an account that has my personal information tied to it, I would be in for a world of hurt if I happen to offend someone.
You fucking dick.

I would also prefer that you stop being an idiot.
>>120179379
What the fuck? You have to be misunderstanding something, because nobody in this thread disagrees with you. Your original post just made it sound like the problem with registration is "baww it takes too long" when the problem is that it restricts anonymity like you said.
So, no, a registration system would still be shit even if it was based on an "antiquated design", contrary to your dogshit opinion that registration "wouldn't be so bad" if it's simple as stated in >>120178257
>>120179502
>I said it would be a lesser evil to the alternative.
You did not.
Unbelievable how you'd be upset that people attack you for saying registration wouldn't be so bad. You're the one that made a shitty post that doesn't reflect what you were trying to say in the first place.
Goddamn you're an autist.
>>120179774
I acknowledge that you found difficulty in understanding my post.
If push came to shove, and simple registration was enforced, I might *reluctantly* give into it. I still wouldn't like it, but it would be better than the modern bullshit you see on most sites these days.
I acknowledge that my point did not come across to you clearly. It's a good thing we're anonymous, because you seem steamed.
>>120176754
Because I said that yesterday.
"I'll wake up and go on 4chan and moot will be a faggot as always."
And this happened.
moot had a vested interest in keeping this place alive because it was basically his livelihood
volunteer mods do not care.
>>120180170
>I might *reluctantly* give into it
Thought so, faggot.
>>120180684
Didn't moot say he broke even with 4chan? Did 4chan start becoming profitable at some point?
I hope so, but every time I've seen a site sold it went to shit. I think the new admin will be fine as long as moot owns the place, but the problem is what's next.
If moot's smart and cares about the community, he'd turn 4chan into a nonprofit and give users some say in selecting the mods. But I expect him to cash in, the new owners to ruin it, and the community to disperse, because that's how the internet works.
>>120180806
If I offend someone on the internet and the most info they can dig up on me is my e-mail address, the worst thing that could happen is that I'll get gay porn in my junk mail folder.
If I offend someone while using an account with highly sensitive info attached to it, I am at their mercy. They could publish my name anywhere and tell the world that I am a bad man. And maybe they'll even kick me in the nuts.
I'd rather get gay porn in my junk mail than get kicked in the nuts. I'd prefer neither, but if it came down to it, at least the gay porn is manageable.
>>120180838
I think he actually did start making some profit on it eventually, yeah, though I have no idea how much, I know that running and hosting an affair like 4chan is very expensive, lots of traffic and data going through every day, every hour, every minute, every single second.
>>120181030
You can calm down now, sperglord. The conversation was over several posts ago.
>>120181014
>give users some say in selecting the mods
Goddammit, no.
Whenever we have shitty mods, there was only one person to blame: moot.
If the users had any say in mod selection, we'll have thousands of people to blame.
The only time 4chan users argue with each other is to prove whose waifu is better. We don't need any pseudo-political arguments going on.
>The mods are shit, I bet the /d/emocrats were responsible for this mess
>>120181202
I forgive you.
>>120181014

>>120176754

>>120181207
Approval voting and supermajority requirements would reduce that effect a ton. 50% is probably a bad idea for exactly that reason - a mod should be respected by the vast majority of the board, not just half.
Just as long as we don't get a "veto everyone" obstructionist clique.

There's no reason they shouldn't be second class citizens on here anyway.
The day 4chan dies will be as abrupt and sudden as moot's announcement

And nobody liked Hitler. Well, there are a few who do like him, but those people are weird.

It's going to be so bittersweet. For one, it will force me to do something with my life, but it'd also be saying goodbye to the best friend I've ever had.
>>120181516
What would we even vote based on? We don't know most of the mods very well.
Our only choice to hope moot remains the owner of 4chan and puts us in good hands.
>>120181541
>implying we won't reform elsewhere
Have shichichan and hachichan taught you anything?
Anons aren't helpless. When moot bans a topic the people discussing it make their own damn board, so why do you think we'd act any differently if the whole site went under?
>>120181656
I know how you feel
Here are three of the best articles about moot's retirement starting with Techcrunch's interview with moot about his leaving 4chan.

Basically, all the shitposting boards should be gassed.
>>120181868
>man behind the memes
Every time.
What's funny though is that when 4chan dies, people will think Reddit invented memes. Hell, a lot of normalfags think that already.
>>120181743
For incumbents, lists of mod actions would work. There's already the ban page - link each mod's ban/delete history, redacting anything they actually can't show, and vote for re-election.
For new mods, you have a damn good point and I guess democracy doesn't work online after all.
>>120181743
>moot remains the owner of 4chan
Assuming moot makes any sort of money from 4chan, he probably won't let it go. Hell, he hasn't slammed the door on this place even when he was losing money from it; and if he did, I wouldn't blame him.
>>120181868
>he has a PhD
>it's pretty much useless
People who say that this site is going to stay the same are absolutely delusional. Volunteer mods and a board of directors will ruin this place simply because they are not tied to it and therefore do not care about it. moot stuck with us for this long because it was his own single creaton. Now these new leaders are going to burn this place into the ground (likely by implementing shitty new additions and trying to bring in a larger demographic). They will think of 4chan as a business to profit off of now and nothing else.
>>120176754
>Kyoanus fans still being shit
Yep things don't change
>>120181957
What did Reddit actually "create" on their own?
I only know about the poorly vectored black & white pictures of Neil Patrick Harris and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Hey, speaking of which, does Ben Garrison think he's won now or something? I recall he thought moot personally arranged for the "attacks" on his name.
>>120182136
As far as memes go, I have no idea. But reddit is literally made for sharing OC or links, that's why it's a shit discussion place.
>>120176754
Too many libtards and /v/irgins are posting right now. SJWs are spamming threads and doing a victory dance acting like gawker is gonna take over. I want the new mod to put his foot down and remind libtards they are not welcome.
>>120182125
The janitors are fags, but they shouldn't have much power. The mods will be managing the site, and I'm fairly sure most of them care about 4chan, otherwise they wouldn't be mods. Other than Redwood who is apparently gone, do we know of any other undesirable mods? Is Kino still around? Because if he was, we'd be okay.
>>120182125
Why do you assume that these people haven't been here all along? Has it occured to you that the volunteers are anons?
>>120178813
I'm /pol/ and you wouldn't know it from most of my posts. Don't assume some stereotype. I hide my powerlevel and don't derail threads.

Whoever becomes admin isn't going to crack down on anything right away because he'll be afraid of people hating him or going against him. It's more likely that nothing will change immediately. After that, who knows what will happen.
It's also fairly likely that there won't be a new admin.

Too many conservtards writing shitty comments like this. /pol/ was the biggest decline in 4chan quality.

>>120177950
No. Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, go try making a GG thread there and see what happens. 8/a/ has been slandered to hell and back but it's honestly a decent board, if slow.

>>120183213
That would go very poorly, I can't imagine everyone would be on board.
>>120183252
That's not exactly true, it is basically GG chan but they are not autists about it and tell you to fuck off if you post about that shit anywhere else. They're basically the same kind of elitism you get from 4chan by saying fuck off to haffchan or fuck off to >>>/v//>>>/pol/ when you shitpost.
>>120183295
Looking at the front page, all the posts in the last hour are in a single thread. Some board.
>>120183252

The only sane way to select the mods is by using an eitochan style system where the mod is tied to the board and the users vote with their feet. Anything else will result in the vote being rigged/flooded with idiots.

>>120183550
>/a/ has the same userbase as /pol/ and /v/
Speak for yourself. I don't touch those shitholes, and judging by the average post by an /a/non, most of /a/ doesn't either.

Just because you're a crossboarding shitposter and want to believe that /a/ is the same as those cesspits doesn't mean everyone else is.
>>120183550
If /a/ and /v/ had the same userbase then /a/ would be filled with the same >tfw no girlfriend blog threads as /v/. The fact that there is basically a "no normalfag allowed rule" on /a/ proves you wrong. I'm not saying that there is no crossover, but it's definitely not the same userbase, people don't even argue about the same way. Just look at how /v/ talks about piracy vs /a/'s unambiguous "I don't care".
>>120183642
We just need more quality posters and it could really take off.

>>120182243
Just shut the fuck up, you faggot. /pol/ is the worst board in the entire site because you faggots can't keep your shit out of other boards. At least /b/tards are too retarded to stumble into other boards. You faggots are going to blame SJWs for moot's retirement forever when the fact is that he's leaving because you retards caused him tons of trouble on your own cancerous social justice campaign. That's what you are, a polar image of the same SJWs that you claim to fight. Both are groups of extremist retards that make the rest of the web their battleground and just annoy the shit out of everybody stuck in the middle. Kill yourself.

Of course there's some overlap. There's overlap everywhere on the site. But that doesn't mean that the whole userbase is the same. It's completely different.

Nothing here is going to change for the foreseeable future unless the site is outright sold or the new batch of mods/admins go full vindictive nerdmode on us all.
And even then, even were this site to die, I'd rather just go down with the ship. I've been here for 10 years, there's no substitute for this place and a glorified GG forum isn't even close.

Gundam threads get replies on /a/ though. Just about everything does. In fact, that's the best thing about /a/, is that taste is so diverse among the large userbase that you can discuss pretty much any anime to some extent if you make a thread right. Not everything is going to get 500 replies but there's always someone who'll talk to you.

And I find it absolutely pathetic that you /a/utists are sucking moot's cock when no less than a month ago he had stickied "USUKA" memes on /a/. All he does is post b tier spam here, and you constantly preach about BOARD QUALITY, but when it comes to your precious leader you get emotional and beg for his cum. Do you have any idea how pathetic that is? He hates you and you're too retarded to realize it. Not /pol/, not /v/, he hates YOU and he sold you down the river.
>>120184212
Hating /pol/ doesn't mean liking SJWs. Fuck off, faggot.
>>120184136
>the posting style is very similar
It's not at all. Have you ever browsed any of the boards? Just because the boards are both fast doesn't mean the userbase is the same. If anything, that implies the opposite since it would be harder for a single person to browse multiple fast boards. /a/ is very isolated from the latest 4chan memes and drama which makes it quite different from the other fast boards.
>no fun allowed
isn't the point of /a/ to have fun?
>>120181883
/tv/ is objectively the most patrician shitposting board though. those autists have taken that shit to a new level.
You guys may all leave, but I am going down the ship. Fuck it, I am sticking here until the very end.
>>120184136
>Do you have this idea that angry racist people can't watch anime, or that /a/ has a lot of liberal posters?
>the political spectrum is composed of liberals, and their opponents, racists

>>120184136
>or that /a/ has a lot of liberal posters?
The fact you think it's either /pol/ or SJW is why you're a retard.
just check in. so who's gonna replace moot? zuckerberg?
>>120184115
Note I'm not claiming they're exactly the same, they have the same userbase with more stuff to discuss.
/a/ is one of the most dependent, oversensitive boards on 4chan. any change to the things they cling to as "givens" results in massive emotional distress
it's why they prefer the fish-in-a-barrel "relationship" they can pretend to have with their waifus over the unpredictability of real world interactions
>>120184255
/a/ also has more than 40 lurkers. Give it some time.
>>120184262
moot's shitposting was funny, your's isn't. Get out.
>>120182450
well not everyone is like you, and when /pol/ is showing not only it makes the board look bad but also the ones that have nothing to do with the shitposting that it brings
>>120184312
I have fun discussing things anime/manga with others, not intentionally being a retard like /v/ loves to do.
>>120184312
>isn't the point of /a/ to have fun?
>>120183985
I wish /pol/ would get out of our Death Parade threads
>>120184381
>shitty rage comic of his "waifu" which he treats as a meme
>funny
Fuck off.
Well /a/ has been pretty shit for a while, the only reason I come here is because otherwise I'd be behind on current events. No better place than 4chan to see what's going on in the weeaboo community.
I think a big change that will probably happen as soon as moot hands the reins over is someone will enable audio in webms. Moot has been the only vocal opponent of it.
>Another /pol//12-4chan shilling/tumblr shitposting thread.
I hope these die down soon and be once again contained to /v/ and /pol/.
>>120184136
>the posting style is very similar
This is fascinating. Are you the same dumbo from the moot thread who said /a/ and /v/ are the same place?

>>120184312
>isn't the point of /a/ to have fun?
>>120184495
It's moot's fault for being such an incomptent retard. Maybe his Q&A will resolve things because he hasn't talked with his userbase since before GG.
>>120184291
>/a/ is very isolated from the latest 4chan memes and drama which makes it quite different from the other fast boards.
At least someone gets it. You're alright, anon.
/a/'s saving grace that has kept it's quality from hitting rock bottom like /v/ did is how divided it is, so there's no hivemind.
I'm honestly delighted that /v/ hates "weebs" and shitpost at people who post anime images. That just keeps more of those fags out of /a/.
>>120184521
More like stop posting cuck every chance they get and reverse trolling. This is what happens when normalfags get the mature animes they so desperately want.
>>120183925
I agree with what you're saying, but the pic is wrong, chan-8 is a completely different animal, it actually has an active and established userbase. 8/a/ is slow though.
>>120184521
/pol/ is responsible for all the fucking cuck posts in Death Parade threads. /a/ never used that word before /pol/ forced it.
>>120184337
This, /pol/'s memes are rightwing because that's what offends the most, not because they all love nazis. Anyone who tries to set up a right/left wing split against them and other boards is delusional.
>>120184375
Yeah, if it took off I'd be all for 8ch, that's really the only barrier is lack of users.
Just depends on what happens to /a/.
>>120184312
Do you seriously think shitposting is the only way to have fun?
This is why no one likes you, /v/-kun.
I'm scared
>>120184701
You and I both.
>>120184650
A thousand times this.
Fuck all the /pol/ crossboarders, moot should never have destroyed the containment board, of course they'd come here.
>>120184617
>>120184650
But I never say cuck. Blame saberfags for forcing it and libtards for getting offended by it.

It is the end anon
How do we make /a/ fun while not making it newfag friendly? I'm sick of the boring threads, the worst part is I can't even leave, im here forever.
My suggestion? You should loosen up a little, you only have to be elitist pricks to newfags. Make OC. Contribute to the site, but don't be too much of an asshole.
>>120184312
The point of /a/ is to discuss shitty new anime like seasonals.

Please no. I'm personally closer to a rinfag than any other type-moon girl, but that was just a handful of shitposting retards. Saberfags never post that crap.
>>120183550
please kill yourself
saged, reported
>>120184774
It's exactly the same but slower with multi-image posting, webm w/ sound and no captcha.
>>120184801
/a/ still has fun from time to time. There are plenty of memes too.
OC is definitely lacking though.
>>120184801
Just discuss anime.
Ban libtards on site.
No forced shitstorm threads like commie subs or preorder points.
>>120184767
What the hell does F/SN and politics have to do with anything? It's just shitposting from retards when a male is beta.
>>120184778
I don't want it to end.
>>120184801
Discuss anime you actually like? I have a lot of fun in yuribear and fate threads.
moot was a faggot, and I mean that. I really don't like him, he's a moron that did a bunch of stupid shit, not to mention he's a wannabe normie.
But he was like the dried cum that kept this place stuck together. Things will never be the same here without him.
I bet this is going to be the last straw for a lot of people. Whoever the new admin(s) is, it's bound to rub some people the wrong way. And they'll leave. Other chans will spring up, and preexisting chans will get bigger. I'm sure there will be people who stay here, but not everyone.
And anyone who tries to say this isn't a big deal or that things won't change is a moron. When other chans have gone up and been made, it's been because of stupid petty e-drama, so of course they didn't have a huge effect on the site. Something like this, a change of ownership and administration, has obviously never happened. This is a turning point in the entire site's culture, for better or for worse. From now on 4chan's history will be defined as "moot" and "post-moot". In a few years, you'll see threads where people talk about being here when moot was here, and deriding the "post-moot" newfags. I'm sure 4chan will still be around for years, but it will never be the same again. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.
Having said all that:
It's been real niggas. I hate you all, and love you all. Every faggot on every board. Shitposters of every stripe. I'll always remember this place, and won't forget about you.

If /a/ changes, we can cross that bridge when we come to it, how about for now we all just continue to drag our faggot/little girl asses here and post about anime

Those were kind of ruined by the people spamming "fuck off newfag, babby's first ikuhara".

Great reading comprehension.
Just throwing it out there, /pol/ is ban on site at 8/a/, regardless of what the idiots who come over here and spam want to tell you.
>>120185034
You're greatly exaggerating it; the last thread that I have open was quite fine. And to be honest, if somebody posts something retarded, they deserve that kind of response.
>>120185023
This. We might have to leave someday but for now I think the ship isn't sinking just yet.
>>120185069
Whatever you little cunt, I haven't read the thing since this morning. Doesn't change anything that I said.
>>120185116
That's good to hear then. The last kuma thread I was in it was pretty rampant.

Depends on your definition of retarded, I guess.

Fuck off. No one wants your shit site.

What is it about? Ikuhara anime seems pointless.
So what's going on with moot and will it affect me in any way whatsoever?
>>120185230I might love you too, I don't know, maybe we should get to know each other first?
>>120185023
I'm worried. One of the things that came out of the /forfree/ shit was that there's a community manager responsible for training and managing the mods, who has presumably been given the reigns in full now.It was fucking Rapeape
Maybe Daiz is the new Main Admin.
>>120185255
It's (probably) an allegory about how Japanese society treats homosexuality. Of course, not every single detail is 100% clear at this point.
>>120185227
I just meant if somebody shitposts something stupid like "it doesn't make sense" without explaining what exactly they don't understand.
>>120185227

Only someone that posts retarded shit would ever say this.

And it never will.
>>120185619
Yeah, and anime is a traditional medium with the exception of some libtard hacks like UroBULLSHIT.
>>120185755
Can you spew your /pol/ memes somewhere else? Nobody cares.
>>120185691
>I blame fucking moot for bringing in all these crossies
He destroyed the containment board for 'fun', this was always going to happen.
I wish /pol/ would leave. Please just go, your board's unfucked now, you don't have to stay.
>>120185755
It's like you're trying to force some kind of meme.
moot just proved the impossible. We're not here forever.
So what now?
>>120185845
Even just choosing to make a post on /a/ and get 1k replies, or changing the board title and adding music has attracted all these people. I think if you graphed the usage of the word libtard on /a/ it would have massively spiked today.
