>>53027211
And what exactly is the problem?
>>53027211
And you made retard thread to join them?
>>53027240
Everything is becoming a general and real threads get purged to make space for them. There's no real discussion, just shitposting in generals.
>>53027211
nice dubs
>>53027272
What would a "real thread" be?
>>53027272
Why don't you consider general threads to be "real" threads? I agree that there are a lot of them, but this board doesn't move fast enough for it to matter.
>>53027272
Well I'm glad you made a "real thread" for some "real discussion". Thanks OP :^)
>>53027211
Friendly Linux, daily programming and stupid questions are all actually useful, and the board would be even more flooded without them
The rest are sorta pretentious, but they don't belong on any other board
>>53027211
you can hide all the subreddits of /g/, though
>>53027348
threads that aren't created solely for the reason that "the last one died"
>>53027211
The real problem is, the majority of these threads isn't even about technology.
>headphone general
Consumerism, nobody actually discussing technology there. Just comparing products specs, which is not tech talk, it's consumerist advice.
>desktop thread
Lifestyle topic
>watch thread
Lifestyle consumerist topic
>mechanical keyboards general
Nerd lifestyle/consumer topic
>BattleStation
Same. "Let me show you what I own, my setup, look guys, this is a technology discussion"
The other topics are at least remotely related to technology, inasfar as they at least are about creating shit based on technology (programming, building your own PC, figuring out stuff related to technology, etc).
Other cancer on this board:
>the open-source, free software meme, RMS etc etc => it's not even discussion on technology, it's about intellectual rights, so it's somewhere between philosophy and law
>anime, traps, etc etc => degeneracy general, not technology
>the NSA is spying on you, the gubbermint is out to find your pedo porn stash etc etc => this also falls into the degeneracy category, surely not discussion about technology
I could go on. Oh, and in the meantime, if some stranger comes on this board asking for buying advice or fixing PC advice, they get this answer:
>read the fucking sticky
>/g/ is not your personal buying guide
>/g/ doesn't fix your PC etc etc
But guess what: /g/ is otherwise allowed to have this general cancer, which includes lifestyle topics, consumerist topics, mah freedoms topics, general paranoia topics etc etc.
/g/ in a nutshell.

>implying /g/ was ever good
>implying /g/ is not solely about tech shitposting
>implying /g/ can debate of something they hate for no reason
>>53027640
You had me until >anime
Anime is always relevant in a chink imageboard, newfag
Dubs general?
>>53027272
yeah i actually made a networking thread today which was not based in on a /general/ template, guess what? got deleted in under 30 seconds.
>>53028040
let me guess
>HOLY FUCK FUCK YOU /G/ YOU TOLD ME TO INSTALL GENTOO AND I TRIED BUT THE FUCKING ITNERNET DIDNT WORK I TRIED ALL THE IPCONFIG OPTIONS BUT THEY ALL SAID SOME BULLSHIT ABOUT BASH AND COMMANDS FUCK YOU /G/
>>53027253
I got banned for making a shitpost general once
>>53027506
But real discussions are fucking reddit, nigger iphone stealer and newfags that needs help for its broken shit.
>>53028303
>>53028303
Get in here
>>53027640
>buying advice
consumerist advvice
>fixing PC advice
stackexchange, support forums, leddit
you could make all those things technology related or not based on how you look at them
stop cherry picking, faggot
>>53028332
kek
please split the board already
>>53027747
fuck off, manchild
>>53028405
how about just changing the title to /g/ - Consumerism and Shilling
>few years ago
>Headphone threads all over the damn place
>"Hey, why don't we make a single general"
>regarded as a great idea because it kept /g/ more organized
>same thing with most generals on the board
>and then there is this one newfag starting a thread to complain instead of creating threads to dicuss what he believes to be more tech related.
>>53029129
because those threads are shunted off the board faster than they can be made
Who cares, /g/ was never good.
>>53028461
stay buttblasted, senpai
>>53029404
and those thread would be about... ?
>>53029437
We speak English here, wall builder.
>>53029514
i would be surprised if less than 25% of people here spoke only one language
we all know usaians are dumbfucks, but still
>>53027211
/g/ is cancer, we know. occasionally there is a diamond in the rough though.
>complaining about containment threads
wew lad
>>53027211
Biggest problem on /g/ is how we separate mindless consumer garbage and real technology
/g/ is and will remain one of the most retarded board
I just took 3 naps, in succession, and this "non-general thread" is still up
So your idea that "waa waa muh real threads get pushed off the board" is bullshit. /g/ does not move that fast.
>>53028283
>discussions are fucking reddit
ok newfriend
what's the best ad blocker for firefox? I'm not up to date on these things and I remember reading here that regular AdBlocker Plus is EVIL

You rascal.

>>53027272
Honestly generals are containment threads. Its either a mega thread is created to house autism, or four million retarded threads with 3 or 4 posts are made which accomplish less and take up more space.
>meta tred complaining about subreddits
this is my favorite subreddit. subscribed ;^)
>battlestation thread is the same 50 images every day with a bunch of circlejerking and fags flirting with eachother
Don't even open them up anymore, really. Filtered it.
>>53027211
this is why /tv/ is better ;)

Is this a pasta?

I'm sorry, mind if I bring my trips? Technically, it's two dubs:
>>53036555
>>53036557
doesnt count friend
>>53027211
I think that anything pertaining to video games and video game accessories being posted here should get automatically deleted.
>>53027272
>real threads get purged to make space for them
pls consider suicide
