RIP archive
Anyone else remember easy modo?
At some point they will realize that they need to stop trying to collect all the /v/ shit.
>>131873997
Well shit.
Even when it was up the status page stopped loading for me around the same time the search died.
Who or what is fetcher?
The on-board archives last a week, as long as archive.moe isn't down that long it can just scrape those to catch up.
>>131874374
What fetches the posts, obviously.
>>131874405
>a week
I thought it was 2 days?
>>131874123
This. Force /v/ and its spin-offs to maintain their own archive.
>>131874469
It changed, you can see for yourself by opening the archives, slapping the end key, and seeing the oldest thread.
>>131874516
I see. Well, we still lose everything that was deleted, so probably a bunch of off-topic discussions and shit threads.
Moe was probably the worst archive we ever had.
>>131874560
That's actually a fair point, I hadn't considered that.
That guy always talking about troid is going to add the archives going down to his conspiracy, isn't he? Since it won't scrape deleted posts of his.
>>131874674
Theres a big kerfluff about it in the sadpanda thread, because Daiz showed up and a bunch of posts got DMCA'd for linking to a blog with ripped Fakku content.
>>131874586
moe is just the latest incarnation of easymodo
>>131874586
Green-oval didn't work half the time
Tell me,how many servers had we used? What becomes of the old servers?
>>131874586
It works great when it's actually up. Green-Oval was the worst. My favorite is still Foolz though. I wish they hadn't quit.
He should really stop archiving /v/, I expect more shitposting and console wars than anything worth discussing coming from it. It's one of the fastest boards too so there must be lots of crap.
Someone from /v/ should make its own one if there's anything important to archive.
>>131874716
So daiz is finally showing his true colors? Strange that fakku rips are still on nyaa.
After that /r9k/ shit the archive went down.
I bet it's their fault and the fbi is abusing the archive.
>>131874846
/v/ermin will throw a fit, but it needs to be done. Everything worth remembering from /v/ is already immortalized in screencaps anyway, they don't need a comprehensive archive.
And if they want one, then one of their own should assume the burden.
>>131874047
Of course. RIP.
>>131874934
>screencaps
>unreadable messes with more reaction images than stuff that you actually want to read
So is everything older than a week ago dust in the wind?
>>131874923
I know the timing seems more than coincidental, but rationally speaking I don't see (1) why the archives would only fail to traffic now when the story broke days ago or (2) why the FBI would need to shut down the archives to peruse them. In fact, 4chan still has the original data and has likely handed it over already.
I thought it was the shooting shenanigan.
Some FBI investigation or something
Baits will become brand new in an instant
>>131874988
I feel their hideous shitpost collages capture the aesthetic of the board far better than an archive ever could. Really gives you a feel for how the people there think.
>>131873997
Personally, I don't mind. 4chan was never meant to be archived. Archive singular threads that are worth keeping, but don't archive everything.
>>131875001
>Everything
Only whatever was posted when the archive was down.
Can we go back to a system where people need to vote for a thread to be archived?
>>131875025
>why the FBI would need to shut down the archives to peruse them.
They don't need to because they have their own archive with PRISM. Anything said on 4chan is logged automatically.
>>131874923
>>131875025
They would go to the fucking source, not to a third party's "archive".
>He's going to keep doing it until it actually goes down.
What's wrong with you OP.
>>131875001
Just the stuff deleted while the fetcher was down, and the stuff pushed off 4chan's archive in that time span.
The old posts are still archived and can be rehosted if it comes to that. The issue right now is that the fetching of posts is down so there will be gaps.
>>131875098
No.
I call for a ban on pepe and any other meme reaction image. Anybody in favor?
>>131875078
I never even learned how to vote for archival. When I came to 4chan there was already a real archive and people who were trying to enforce on-site archival were laughed out of the board.
>>131875078
>>131875121
That was my point, the FBI has more valid sources to work with.
>>131875098
>Guys this thread is epic pls archive
>>131875078
But I like reading threads that I couldn't keep track when they were alive because IRL shit.
So they're not overloaded due to a certain public incident?
>>131875188
>meme
Try to define that. You are probably going to run into a wall with your idea of a ban.
Much better to leave it to the discretion of good mods what constitutes shitposting, because that can catch everything or nothing depending on who's in charge.
>>131875231
I miss the days when we could use the word "epic" without its neo-/b/ connotations.
>>131875098
I always hated that. People would try to show off in the hopes getting into the archive and then shamelessly beg for archive votes. Created a fake, tryhard atmosphere similar to what you see on reddit where people desperately want upvotes and into the gold club.
>>131875219
Whoops, meant to quote >>131875150
Whoever runs the archive next needs to just dump everything other than /a/, /m/, and /jp/
>>131875231
>But I like reading threads that I couldn't keep track when they were alive because IRL shit.
But that is part of the beauty of 4chan. You need to give up on life to fully enjoy it. Also, every repost is a repost repost. You can literally have the same discussion the next day and probably have the same people replying the very same things.
>>131875268
The archive was going down a lot before the incident happened. It was down even before someone linked the incident with /r9k/.
>>131875333
No so. There are regular manga dumps and live TLs that happen only once a week, if you miss the thread you need the archive to read them. It's that or wait weeks for the chapter to be posted somewhere online.
>>131875333
I for one recycle every good post I make in subsequent threads. It's just a pain to keep track of them when I can't look them up in the archive.
Maybe I should start an offline collection of shit I posted on 4chan.
>>131875231
Yes, that's how I use it too. And I keep around some with nice info or discussions. It's also pretty useful to find some nice rare shit you guys scanned, ripped or translated while I wasn't around.
>>131875333
That hasn't been true since 2012.
Especially for stuff like live-manga TL, which happens often on /a/.
>>131875374
>No so. There are regular manga dumps and live TLs that happen only once a week, if you miss the thread you need the archive to read them. It's that or wait weeks for the chapter to be posted somewhere online.
People took care of that by manually archiving things. Back when we didn't have archives people saved things locally and uploaded them for others on request.
Whatever happened to redundancy? /tg/ and /pol/ both have 2 archivers (moe and 4plebs).
>>131874716
Can you indirectly point me to said Fakku blog?
>>131875424
There's nothing stopping them from doing that right now, yet they don't. If you miss a leak thread you either read the archives or you won't see that content until it's officially released days or sometimes weeks later.
Also I use the archive to find source for shows, manga, and porn. It's an incredibly useful resource. The only problem I have with it is it has all this bloat by archiving boards that don't need an archive.
>>131875521
>The only problem I have with it is it has all this bloat by archiving boards that don't need an archive.
It's the same problem that the NSA has.
How much information is enough information?
Ah fuck it.
Let's just collect it all.
>>131875521
>Also I use the archive to find source for shows, manga, and porn.
Fuck, now if google and yandex fail I won't be able to look in the archive. That sucks.
>>131875521
>There's nothing stopping them from doing that right now, yet they don't. If you miss a leak thread you either read the archives or you won't see that content until it's officially released days or sometimes weeks later.
They don't because of the archive. If there's no archive, people will start saving things again. Once the convenience of the archive is lost, people will cease being lazy and backup things locally again.
>>131875583
If they had that attitude they'd try to archive /b/. They just want the major discussion boards, but they should just chuck 80% of them.
>>131875599
It will just mean that people will have to be a bit more helpful in the future when it comes to finding sources.
>>131875639
>/a/

ha
I need to go to fucking warosu to look up archived posts from /lit/ yet idiots in charge of moe think it's a good idea to archive boards like /v/.
There is no justice in this world.
>/a/ now hates /v/
What happened?
Where did the old times go?
>>131875508
The /tg/ archive on 4plebs only goes back to 2013, while easymodo started fetching it in 2010.
>>131875674
People ceased being helpful because it was too easy to find things on your own and only morons had to ask.
>>131875622
>If they had that attitude they'd try to archive /b/.
They are probably planning to. I assume that even they realize that their servers aren't powerful enough for that yet.
>>131875513
Nope, i got there after it already happened so i dont even know the blog name.
And he did the same with the posts on the archive, they got DMCA'd too before the archive went down.
>>131875622
>try to archive /b/
Hope you have a dedicated autist to delete pizza.
>>131875674
/a/ can be helpful when you're not just a lazy asshole who didn't even try to find it.
>>131875709
I actually think /a/ hated /v/ the most a few years ago. People used to accuse anyone they didn't like of being from /v/. Nowadays, I don't think people care that much about /v/ any more, while the board might not be overly popular, it's not as hated as back then.
They have their usefulness but I only really liked the archives before they became common knowledge amongst /v/ermin types and people who never lurked.
I used to look forward to /a/ going down because I knew there were be some ghostbros waiting in the archive for what was better discussion of anime and manga than 99% of what we had on 4chan. There was no shitposting there in those days. I've only used the archives a slack handful of times over the years to look up things I wanted to find.
>>131875709
/v/ stopped being about video games and became /b/ 2.0. Nobody likes /b/ and we certainly didn't need a second one.
>>131875751
Fucking hypocrite baldy. Now he is too good for piracy.
>>131875709
/v/ became shit, when they decided to suck Mealstrom's dick, and become giant Nintendo fanboys.
>>131875709
Fuck off newfag
>>131875788
This. Discussion used to be chill as fuck, now its just cancer trying to meme their hardest.
>>131875709
/a/ forgot it's tsundere for /v/ because the tsun was much too big compared to the dere.
Do you have that one haruhi doujin where it's /a/ and /v/ fucking when some other board walks in on them? That was the best edit.
The most impressive thing about /a/ and /v/ is how, although people keep saying that /a/ is turning into /v/, it's actually the opposite taking place. With each passing day, /v/ looks more and more like /a/.
>>131875725
I am aware of that. Still, it's still better than nothing until the admin running moe kicks /v/ content from the servers.
>>131875738
>archiving a board automatically where illegal content is posted regularly
Retard alert
>>131875772
They have a archive now and it's as ineffective as one would think removing that content timely.
I marathoned Pleiades post-season because of RL shit, so I used the archives to follow the discussion and pretending was watching it with /a/nons.
>>131875869
>With each passing day, /v/ looks more and more like /a/.
That would be amazing, if the little board actually managed to breathe quality back into the big one. I don't believe it for a second, but it makes for a nice story.
>>131875709
/v/ has been total shit for years now. It's not a case of forced board rivalry, /v/ is just genuinely garbage and the people who go there are cancer.
/v/ermin are so deep in the cancer they don't even realize how shitty their board is, they honestly still believe /a/ likes them.

I did this too
I use the archive to monitor the circulation of my OC.
>>131875988
This isn't true though. /v/ has been really shitty around 2010 - 2012, but since then it has improved quite a bit. It's not that bad right now.
>>131876144

>>131876144

>Nobody uses it.
At least I tried.
>>131875959
It might seem funny to think about, but it's the truth. Over the last couple year, the crowd on /v/ that likes "weebshit" games has grown to match the crowd that doesn't, when they used to be a minority. They have drawthreads, waifuthreads, ronerythreads, visual novel discussions, and even outright anime threads sometimes.
So long as you ignore the contant Sm4sh and MGSV threads, the content isn't as bad as people say.
>>131876144
Yeah I do that from time to time.
>>131876145
That sounds like the sort of statement that would require me to eat shit to verify.
I don't like shit. I am just going to let your claim pass unratified.
>>131876144
That's such an autistic way to put it that I almost want to stop doing it.
>>131876145
But now they are just obsessing over feminists and bullshit, instead of talking about videogames.
>>131876226
Post it on 4chan, save it immediately with the new filename.
Pretend to be somebody else using your OC.
Repeat.
There are certain threads where people are more likely to save reaction images than others. I haven't quite seen through the pattern yet, but ever since I started posting them where they might be more appreciated my images seem to have been more successful. Or so I tell myself.
>>131876144
The only OC I ever made that got used was a shitty reaction image gimp crop of Judo from SYD. I haven't seen it in a few years now though.
in the distant future, scholars will be studying the archives to study the social culture of our time.
I think that's really the saddest part of dying, that we can't have fun reading about future people misunderstanding us.
>>131876229
That doesn't make it /a/. That just makes them weebs.
>>131876226
Post it again and again, somebody will save it eventually.
>>131876145
I very seriously doubt it. The very few tidbits I've seen from recent /v/ indicate it's just as shitty as it has been for the last 5 years. Full of off topic blogging, forced memes, youtube personality discussion, feminist whining, and cancerous shitposting.
I would laugh to see someone do a dissertation on 4chan.
>>131876363
This is true.
http://www.pompeiana.org/Resources/Ancient/Graffiti%20from%20Pompeii.htm
>>131876229
>they talk about anime-related things

It's been done.
>>131876340
Are you literally me?
>>131876373
>>131876429
Sorry, maybe that was hard to understand for you.
It means that /a/ and /v/'s userbase has a significant overlap. People on /a/ to on /v/ to talk about video games, which isn't surprising. Both mediums go hand-in-hand.
>>131876426
>>131876399
There have already been a few and they all fall way short. This place has a population larger than some countries, so writing a dissertation on it is like trying to sum up a nation in a single paper.
Do people even think of /v/ as a part of 4chan anymore?
At this point, calling terrible posters /v/ermin and telling them to fuck off back to /v/ feels as quaint as calling them /b/tards and telling them to fuck off back to /b/.
>>131876426
This is amazing every time someone posts it.
>>131876490
No, maybe it's too hard to understand for you.
The nominal topic (anime/manga vs video games) is not the important difference between /a/ and /v/.
What's important is the posting style, the way that people treat each other, the way the nominal topic is treated and stuff like that.
/a/ is good at this. /v/ is not.
>>131876490
>>It means that /a/ and /v/'s userbase has a significant overlap
No it doesn't.
>People on /a/ to on /v/ to talk about video games
No they don't. I've been playing video games since I was 10, and I don't fucking talk about them on /v/ because /v/ is cancer. I do, however, visit /vg/ sometimes because of guides and mod info posted in relevant threads. That's as close as I get to visiting /v/ for video game "discussion".
If you seriously think everybody who posts about anime visits /a/ on this site you are gravely mistaken. Try visiting /wsg/ sometime, stop by the anime threads and see how many of them claim to hate /a/ and never come here.
>>131876426
I haven't seen this in years.

>>131876490
>>131876582
The reason why discussion of /a/ related stuff is on the rise on /v/ is because with the increasing shift between the two boards /v/ermin can no longer comfortably discuss their favorite anime on /a/. They need to either lurk a bit (which they aren't used to at all) or talk about it on /v/ (which is easy because /v/ is off topic anyway).
/v/ discussing anime related stuff is proof that /v/ continues to fail.

>>131876582
I completely disagree. /a/ is just as shitty in many regards. On /v/ you have a lot of variation depending on the topic. In threads discussing old PC RPGs for example /v/ far surpasses the average thread on /a/, while a thread discussing some modern AAA shit is likely to be far worse than /a/ ever gets.

The same is true for /v/ though.
>>131876733Baiting.
>>131876548
I still stand by the opinion that more popular boards should have longer reply timers. This potentially -- and yes, only potentially -- will make people think harder about what to post, if they can only post every three minutes. It also gives the jans and mods more time to clean up the trash.
Pic obviously unrelated.

>>131876747
>I completely disagree.
And I don't care about your opinion. What I see of /v/ from here in screenshots and in crosssboarders suffices to make me completely disinterested in the board as a whole.
I'd welcome their collective banishment from 4chan if such a thing were possible. 4chan needs a place to discuss video games, but /v/ isn't it.
>>131876490
Actually, if we look at hachichan, we see that their /v/ is a lot bigger than /a/ and other boards barring /pol/ and /b/. /v/ crossboards a lot with /pol/, not with /a/.
We can't tell from that what board has the biggest crossboarding with /a/ but I would put my money on /sp/, if I had to, based on some poor evidence.

Oh, and the native extension should be shut down and the unofficial ones should be somehow disabled as well.

>>131877235
>bump limit should be reduced to 150 posts at most.
That's the only thing that I kind of agree on. But I wouldn't say 150. Maybe 250 or 300.
You are all fucking retarded if you think /a/ is better than /v/. The shitposting here makes souls threads look tame, at times.
With that said, they should probably stop archiving images from /v/. God knows it wouldn't be a huge loss.
/qa/ and /q/ are not fucking useful. They are literally cancer whose sole existence is to be a gateway for shitposters and troll to invade other boards.
/q/ was fine the first week but everybody knows how that turned out, didn't it? I swear, the moment people are given the chance to bitch and moan so they can fuck everything up, they'll take that chance.
>>131877421
It used to be 300 and evey board had 15 pages.

/qa/ is one step closer to deleting /pol/.
We need /qa/ alive until then.
>>131875275

I'd be happy if we had any mods at all. It takes them forever to delete stuff right now.
>>131877475

>Deleting /pol/ would destroy 4chan, it's too big now.
/pol/ really isn't anywhere near as big deal as some people imagine it to be.
Remember when moot got mad at that board, removed the post timer, put a bunch of wordfilters and told the entire site to raid it?
/pol/'s response to that was absolutely pathetic. They couldn't do shit for months.
From what I hear, they tried to retaliate by taking over /mlp/ and failed miserably, couldn't even beat a bunch of literal horsefuckers.
I don't think /pol/ should be deleted, but /pol/ is really a non-issue in the larger scheme of things. If it was deleted and if mods were told to be a bit more vigilant (like they were on /v/ for like a week after the /v/-/vg/ split), I'm absolutely certain 99% of /pol/luters would leave the site and never come back.
>>131874405
That doesn't keep threads pruned by mods, though. Hopefully they get their shit together soon.
>>131877649
It's absolutely debatable. I just did it. This board is just as shit as the others and so is your waifu.
>>131877711
No, it isn't. It's us, not them. They have their own board to shit up, and we have ours. The people we've been posting with for years are completely retarded, and we all need to accept this before things can start to improve.
>>131877801
I'll give you Little Witch Academia, but since when was Katawa Shoujo a plus?
>>131877824
Shut up storm weenie, its only a matter of time.

>>131877874
They tried implementing their Samson Plan on /mlp/, and the bronies shrugged it off.
It was so sad.
>>131876928
Got it after a few tries. The place is pretty good. Hopefully you guys can archive and re-host all of it before Fakku fucks it over. Now to dl my favorites.
>>131876982
>What I see of /v/ from here in screenshots and in crosssboarders suffices to make me completely disinterested in the board as a whole.
People say the exact same thing about /a/, usually because they have casual shit taste and can't deal with people calling their favourite shows shit. Who tells me you're not the exact same type of person?
>I'd welcome their collective banishment from 4chan if such a thing were possible. 4chan needs a place to discuss video games, but /v/ isn't it.
/v/ is the best place to discuss video games on the internet, just like /a/ is the best place to discuss anime. The fact that the boards are shit is a result of the medium, not the boards. No matter what board discusses video games, it will always be shit.
>>131877874
It has more to do with /pol/ being so shit that most of them didn't even care.
It's not about /pol/ "raiding" the site if they get screwed over anyway. It's that without a /pol/ containment board then /pol/ will naturally creep into every single board, most notoriously /b/ which would turn into the de-facto containment board, and god knows that's a combination that nobody wants on this site.

Are you one of those people that say that /a/ doesn't like anime?
The problem with the boards are entirely the users. Some anime can be bad, but shitposting and retardation are not their fault.
>>131876644
Yeah, what's wrong with people. Disliking stuff. It's like 2004 or something. Not caring is totally cool like.
>>131878042
>usually because they have casual shit taste and can't deal with people calling their favourite shows shit.
>Who tells me you're not the exact same type of person?
Because to me it's not what they like or dislike, it's how they discuss it and what they find funny.
>/v/ is the best place to discuss video games on the internet,
No, it isn't. I'd argue if it's a place to discuss video games at all.
>>131878161
But the main users of videogames are kids.
>>131878011
>filtering

>>131877447
Yeah, I agree that /a/ would be a lot better if you and your faggot friends could just stay on /v/.
>>131878161
>The problem with the boards are entirely the users.
The issue is: no matter where you put the board, you'll always have the same types of users, simply because anime and video games appeals to a certain type of people.
>>131878203
Most people who watch anime are kids, too.
>>131878042
>People say the exact same thing about /a/
No, they just call us elitist cunts. /v/ is considered not much better than /b/.

That may have something to do with you having shit taste in video games and thus the threads about the games you like being shit.
The quality of the threads on /v/ is directly proportional to the quality of the game.
>No, it isn't. I'd argue if it's a place to discuss video games at all.
Yes, it is, though you probably prefer places like /reddit/ or so to discuss your games.
the archive needs to stop archiving /v/ and /r9k/
>>131878278
>No, they just call us elitist cunts.
No, people say /a/ has shit taste in anime because it only watches moe shows rather than mature anime for mature people like themselves.
>>131878297
Follow the quote chain retard.
>>131877801
So it's testicular cancer versus brain tumors?
>>131878338
Which would be patently untrue because you can discuss every anime here if you do it right. Which leads back to us being elitist cunts.
>>131878212
Have been filtering stuff for quite some time now and it never feels like I'm missing something.
But everybody is free to enjoy the posts from idiots who are just too important to post anonymously or retards running around spamming the latest "funny meme".
>>131873997
I thought it was because of the sheer amount of people across the world trying to find out shit about the shooting and overloading it.
Even a newspaper in New Zealand freaked out and screencapped a false threat they found on foolz.
>>131877923
>I just did it.
Yeah, but nobody who has spent more than 20 minutes on this website takes you seriously.
/v/ is honestly much better these days than 09-12, if nothing but because all of the threads are generally on-topic now. E-celeb and anti-sjw tantrum are still massive problems but current /v/ is a massive improvement over a period when the entire front page was LoL and Starcraft generals, a problem plaguing /a/ at the moment.
>>131878441
fucking r9k
>>131878424
>Which would be patently untrue because you can discuss every anime here if you do it right.
The same is true for /v/ in regards to video games. If you discuss good games you can have good discussions.
>>131878441
can't they remove acess to the r9k archive to save bandwith or whatever?
>>131878494
I agree that we desperately need to purge generals. It's painful having a YuruYuri season airing and not being able to discuss it because it's a fucking general.
>>131878441
The archive had been down some times around the week before that and the back end has been down for a while.
>>131878517
>If you discuss good games you can have good discussions.
You can have what /v/ thinks of as good discussions.
>>131878557
my problem with generals is that it is not optional
>>131877495
This entire mess started with the deletion of /new/ or perhaps it was the creation of it. The point is since then a plague was unleashed that no matter how hard the staff tried; they never quite managed to contain it even with /pol/. Deleting /pol/ will just be opening Pandora's Box again but this time even worse.
>>131877495
There is nothing wrong with /pol/ they are more often on topic and civil than /v/ is so why shouldn't that board be deleted as well? Stupid shit like R9K should be deleted it's a joke board that has long run its course.
>>131878557
Just make a new thread, nothing stops you since it's airing now
>>131878602
What's not optional?
>>131878042
Many of the people crying about how bad /a/ is are just kids that got mad that their recommendation thread didn't went as they expected or because they get triggered by cute girls.
>>131878638
being able to start a thread outside of the general.
>>131874923
>After that /r9k/ shit the archive went down.
What did those autists do?
>>131878623
Making a thread and hoping that the usual suspects won't enter it is a bit of a bit of a stretch.
>>131878042
>>131878557
OreGairu generals filling up the board when the second season was airing were horrible. What's worse is that there are still generals even now.
>>131878332
Don't forget /vg/
/v/ and /a/ suffer from entirely different problems and comparing them at this point is silly.
>>131878660
That wouldn't help anyway, when it's a general.
You need to prevent generals from rising by making sure people actually discuss anime.
/v/ is shit for several reasons. Just to name a few:
>higher levels of normalfaggotry
>turned into a warzone for /pol/ and tumblr
>authenticity of the discussion compromised by the presence of actual paid shills
>furries and other undesirable elements
>groupthink fucking everywhere
The closest thing /a/ gets to /pol/ content is the latest "JAPAN/ANIME/LOLI IS DOOMED" scare article, the response to which is usually reasonable. The only actual problem with /a/ lately is the high levels of crossboarder activity (because of anime becoming trendy in the west), and psuedo-generals being held for ongoing shows. Unfortunately there's not much to do about either other than hoping anime fades back into irrelevancy in the west and faggots stop trying to turn anime into a fad.
Delete /pol/
Delete /r9k/
Mods go on full alert deleting their shit until they leave like the gamergaters.
Make a retro anime board. (there is a retro video games board much better than /v/)
Let seasonal fags wallow in their shit and bitch about /v/ while patricians discuss good anime.
There, 4chan is fixed.
>>131878694
>>131878517
Your definition of what a good discussion is seems to be a very subjective or broad one.
>>131878777
>Make a retro anime board.
Here we go again.
>>131878684
The more threads, the less of a general it is. All of them can't be in all the threads at the same time.
>>131878777
>Make a retro anime board. (there is a retro video games board much better than /v/)
We don't need /ar/. /vr/ was only made because you couldn't discuss video games on /v/.
>>131878683
How do you not know about the Oregon Shooting? People across the world know about it.
Here's a Taiwanese summary of it to get you up to speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDiOmviCq3U
>>131878717
I use /vg/ archive too much for that.
I know a mod is fucking browsing this thread and giggling like a stupid ass motherfucker.
If you're not going to delete it then at least put it on autosage. Come the fuck on.
>>131878835
The problem is not if they're all there. The problem is that they're no longer interested in discussing the anime so much as talking about random shit, dumping images and generally making shit threads.
>>131878748
>pseudo-generals
There's nothing pseudo about those fucking Overlord threads.
>literal role-playing, fan-fiction writing, meme-spouting retards
>>131878777
Why make a retro anime board if it's going to be as dead as /po/? Making a niche board for a niche medium looks kind of useless.
>>131877801
Fuck. Just shut the whole thing down.
>>131878748
>groupthink fucking everywhere
Because this isn't the case here, when you have people shouting Boku no Pico at someone asking sauce for a page that turns up nothing in every single reverse-search engine.
