The problem is, OP, that you probably aren't seeing all the posts. If you are just viewing [s4s] through the /s4s/ board, you don't see the green posts, the posts with letters in their ids, or anything numberless. Together, those make up about 40-70 percent of [s4s], depending on the day. So conversation will appear disjointed and spastic, because you won't be getting the full picture.
I actually just flipped over to the /s4s/ interface to make this post, and it's pretty funny how unintelligible [s4s] is like this.

Unlike other memes, which occupy a single thread at a time, the frogposter takes the existence of other frog threads as a cue for him to post his own. He will only be satisfied with his own thread and disdains the use others already existing. The driver of frogposting therefore is not about the content of whats posted, but the narcissism of its creator. It's motivated entirely from a yearning to be noticed.
Examining the anatomy of a frogthread there are two salient points:
One is that frogthreads are inherently derivative. Unlike other threads which rely on OC as lifeblood, frogthreads only recycle material. They do not create new material, they pillage from existing media. Being derivative in nature it requires no creativity. No effort. No thought at all. The text portion of a frogthread is entirely a thoughtless exercise. The object, therefore, is not to create something new that other posters can admire, but to cast the widest net as possible and recall something that the most posters will recall themselves. The frogthread is a 'reaching out' by the creator to the vast body of 4chan hoping for an acknowledgement. It is a social endeavor, not a creative or intellectual one.
The other feature I think that illuminates my point of narcissism is the pictures used. The use of "Pepe" is twofold. One is that it is instantly recognizable for anyone from every corner of the internet. It has made itself known on instagram, tumblr, reddit, imagur, facebook & 9gag. It draws attention by being a familiar sight and lets the viewer know exactly what they're in for. Secondly is that it fuels their narcissism. The appeal of "pepe" is its versatility, that there are thousands of different 'unique' "pepes" which can be hand-picked to accompany a thread. More thought in any frogthread will go into which 'pepe' to use than the post itself. It is the 4chan version of playing 'dress up'. It is about choosing the right outfit from a vast catalog that will aggrandize the user the most
