By popular request we think a new board should be created;
/fish/ - Sardines and Other Canned Goods

Great satire.
This idea is amazing. This is the only board that 4chan is currently missing.
>>413392
We need this.

Who are you quoting? There's a greater than sign in your post, so you must be quoting someone. It'd be strange if you just decided to slap a mathematical symbol at the start of the line for no apparent reason, that would be redundant and annoying. I'm going to go ahead and assume this wasn't your intent, so what is the source of this quote?
>your ban ends in 1 seconds
I know the moderators are incompetent fucking idiots, but this is a new low. This disgusting picture has been up for 10 hours on /vp/, it borders on illegal content, and yet, the idiots in charge still haven't done anything.
Forgot the all important link to the thread:
>>>/vp/25019812
>>413908
That stays up yet I got a three-day ban for literally just writing "child porn" without posting a pic or anything related to it.
Thats neither gore or loli. A better question is why you go to showderp and /vp/ on first place
>Posting from your ISP, IP range, or country has been blocked due to abuse.

I've changed my ip 5 times and i still get this.
Im from Turkey and my other fellow countrymen can post afaik
Can moot do something aboug it?
I've posting this on proxy,if anyone interested
>>412530
What do you think that your countrymen from Turkey provide to 4chan that would make it more valuable to allow them to post than to not allow them to post?
>>412530
>I've posting this on proxy,if anyone interested
Welp, there's another proxy that's going to be banned forever. GG, anon.

Wasn't the frog meme born on 4chan? How did it come to be associated with Reddit?
>>411738
Pepe the frog was not born on 4chan. The remixing and modification of Pepe the frog was but the original source material was a comic strip.
Most of these in the picture provided were born on 4chan, though not the Yao Ming vectorization, most of the others were. (It's difficult to remember exactly which ones were and weren't). All of these are now associated with reddit.
"EPIC WIN!" "EPIC FAIL" and the like were born on 4chan. They are now associated with 9gag.

Just because it's from 4chan doesn't mean it's 4chan tier. All these rage comic memes like Trollface and so on comes from 4chan too, but it doesn't mean it's 4chan tier as I said. Kinda like Polandball comes from Krautchan, or Dolan, that comes from Ylilauta, doesn't mean these memes are fitting for these sites, same goes for 4chan.

Fuck off weeaboo

Apologize immediately
I vote /co/ and /tv/. Grown adults who still watch cartoons and play with toys? Absolutely fucking pathetic. Grow the fuck up.
You know the people who care most about people "being adult"? Teenagers and children. You know the ones that don't care about it? Actual adults.
/v/
>>412950
Oops, not /tv/, I meant /toy/. /tv/ is absolutely fucking based and is the most mature board on this site, we have REAL discussion there.
Which is the correct board for "gameplay" discussion of the Touhou games?

I know it's all meme posting, but I promise you can talk about the actual games there.

What do you think? /jp/
So, what is the point of the 4chan IRC-channel? Is it like a hangout for mods and janitors? Isn't that what /j/ is used for?
I just don't understand why the IRC-channel exists.
/j/ is an empty board like /test/. The mod and janny IRC is just as empty.
>>413574
The janitor application form stated that janitors should have a basic understanding of IRC, so they probably use it for something.
>>413578
Obviously it's not made public.
>ITT: List the boards you ended up putting in the new(?) edit feature.
Is it new? I just noticed it.
it was (and still is) part of the settings menu. it was added to the end of the board list a few days ago for reasons unknown.
>>413547
>or reasons unknown.
Obviouly so you don't misclick on /d/ at work.
It's time to drop captcha Hiro. On my home wifi I get pic related double word captchas, and turning off legacy puts me on blurry street signs. But when I use the 4g on my phone, I get house numbers or easy images.
Captcha serves no function, delete it
>>411751
That is literally, objectively, a terrible idea.
>>411751
The captcha doesn't serve a function but it does prevent some functions from being served. In particular, it prevents spambots from posting.
You can bypass the captcha by purchasing a 4chan pass. If 20 dollars is too much for you, consider if you actually care about posting on 4chan at all in the first place. If 4chan were a gated community where only people who have paid 20 dollars were allowed to post, would you want to post there at all?
If 20 dollars is difficult for you to come by, I could assist...

What's wrong with food analogies?
>>409671
Weak Analogy
(also known as: bad analogy, false analogy, faulty analogy, questionable analogy, argument from spurious similarity, false metaphor)
Description: When an analogy is used to prove or disprove an argument, but the analogy is too dissimilar to be effective, that is, it is unlike the argument more than it is like the argument.
Logical Form:
X is like Y.
Y has property P.
Therefore, X has property P.
(but X really is not too much like Y)
Example #1:
Not...

Why was my perfectly reasonable thread on /a/ deleted?
This is the problem I have with /a/. You really aren't allowed to express certain opinions there without risking being moderated by someone with an agenda. It wasn't trolling. It wasn't horribly though out. It's an opening post meant to generate discussion about anime on a deeper level than "would you lick her feet?" And it did. There were some dubs/roulette trolls who tried to derail the thread (and whose post should have been deleted), but instead the whole thread was deleted, which is unacceptable.
In my opinion this reflects the primary reason /a/ has declined. Moderators on /a/ have way too much power, too much discretion. It's a worse problem than it seems in part because on /a/ there are a vocal group of people who celebrate the exclusion of opinions or groups that upset them (they are likely to show up in this thread and accuse me of being a newfag or something), some people leave after they see how bad things get, and many just don't care because their posting unaffected. But to someone like me who is very opinionated and spent years of my life on /a/ arguing shit, it's really concerning to see an internet home of mine become what it has.
5+ years ago you had blatant troll threads that would stay up without a hitch, and I miss those days, since at least you got interesting discussion out of them and it was a relative free marketplace of ideas. The trend now (and /a/ has been moving this way for years) is for mods to delete threads that they feel provoke /a/ orthodoxy. I feel as if current /a/ mods tend to be people who started posting back in 2011 or so, who internalized many of the complaints of some of the vocal groups, and once they ascended to power used it to mold /a/ in that group's image.
Yes, quoting myself:
> I feel as if current /a/ mods tend to be people who started posting back in 2011
This is actually reflected in the creation of /wsr/. This is a board really made solely because over the last 5 years or so years some groups on /a/ have been obsessed with the idea that recommendation threads were the worst thing imaginable to be allowed on /a/, that they let in a breed of folk that don't belong at all.
Of course this baffles someone like me, who started posting on /a/ back in 2007 and whose first thread...

/a/ is a hugbox. When they see something they don't like they just derail the thread and cover their ears like tumblrinas.
Not even /tv/ and /v/ do that, it's a total shithole with not even the humility to admit it.
>>409628
No one cares. /a/ is for talking about anime and manga, not bitching about your problems
IS THERE ANY RULE IN REGARDS TO MAKING THREADS IN CAPS LOCK? NO? YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO, OH MY GOD!!!!!!
>>413517
Why would that be a rule?
You weren't thinking of abusing caps lock, were you Anon?
>>413519
YES AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
>>413521
Anon, please, be reasonable, There is nothing to be gained by using caps all the time.
I assume this is the right place to ask this?
The future of mankind depends on this research, can you please find the sauce for this game?
Yeah there's a place called /wsr/
