>>133578532
Yep. By that time they were associated with myspace.
Which spots would you change to make it more accurate to modern /a/ and with what? Half of those I haven't seen used in years, maybe once in a blue moon.
GAR is surprisingly being used with some consistency in IBO threads.

>>133578595
It all started going bad after /b/ started making nonsense ones, then retards thought you could just put any old text there and it would be a meme. By the end of that meme's lifespan most of the people making and posting them had no clue why they were even called "motivationals" because the original purpose of them had been long forgotten.
>>133578634

With Hiro's arrival, things have been shifting at a rapid pace.

It's still a long ways away but things are looking up. At least I believe so.

IMHO the thing that made pre-2010 4chan fun was the fact that most people seemed pretty smart, but were pretending to be stupid (or racist or pedophiles or whatever was offensive) for fun.
There were a few people of each category who weren't pretending, but they were a small minority.
At some point, the number of people who weren't just pretending to be stupid / racist / pedo / whatever became too large, and fun things stopped happening because the people who weren't pretending were serious about everything. They either had an agenda, or they were normalfags and they wanted normalfag things like low-effort entertainment and smalltalk. Both types of people are toxic to fun, because both are boring and predictable.

Generals are still killing /a/.
I took a look at the /jp/ pastebin for pasta (re-appropriated for /a/) after never touching it for years. So many things are out of date and reading some of them just makes me a little depressed that people actually put this much effort into trying to make /a/ a better place. I mean pasta used to be all over the place, but mods deleted the shit out of it when many of them were completely relevant and the things they complain about are 10x worse than the usage of a pasta. Sometimes I see the pasta deleted but not the original shitposts.

Now these people are so desperate to differentiate themselves from "the normies" that they're basically the robot 9000, except they do fuzzy comparisons against the entirety of the internet.
>>133580357
There has been a shift in the demographic, certainly. I think the mentality of taking everything seriously has been extremely detrimental and when they're the majority, it's hard to do anything to fight back against it. That's why I'm hoping things will loosen up. What is there to be serious about? Have people forgotten where they are?
>>133580455
Generals became embedded within /a/. There was always that claim that they would be removed/deleted by whenever but by the point action was actually taken, they were here to stay. They insulate each separate community on the board so much, it's ridiculous. The types of posters you see in buyfag threads, Yuru Yuri, JoJo, DJT, KanColle etc. might never post anywhere else. It's not as salient when there's no names attached, of course, but it's not as though people haven't discussed how they come to /a/ for whichever general they frequent. There are threads that are obvious generals on /a/ but there's not much that can be done about it at this point without having to endure massive backlash.
>>133579929
2012 was still alright for the most part. There was still enough OC, but 2012 was where /a/ turned on everyone and stopped telling fags to lurk more. They instead redirected everyone in every direction. Many of the 2010-2011 habits were still present at the time but it was in this year that the grammar nazis finally declined.
>>133580665
It was a stupid idea. And one that's been run into the ground for far too long.

>>133580720
>DOES IT AGAIN
>>133580764
They were deleted and removed. But then the mod deletes it on the one thread that has an actual release, and boom! Complaints and the mod is forced to back off. The only thing that can be done is to spread dissent on our own and from following the threads. There are many people lurking in these generals that participate but see how shit they are and how far they are from how they were originally. But they're scared, almost fucking 'safe-spaces' and this is what allowed reddit and tumblr to come in because "Hey, Ctrl+F and there's the general I always visit".
>>133580665
>What is there to be serious about? Have people forgotten where they are?
It used to be that everything was bait but we rolled with it because being funny was more important than being the first one to yell "HEY TEACHER LOOK OVER THERE I SAW BAIT".
It's an inherently conformist reaction, and I expect it from normalfags and stormfags only.
>>133580766
>grammar nazis finally declined.
Those are the only kinds of nazis that I actually want on 4chan. Morons who can't even type coherent sentences don't deserve legitimate responses.
>>133580665
/a/ wants to be friends. The problem is that we've lost trust in each other.
If you look at the old collages, nobody was opposed to adding Big3 stuff to them, something that would be unthinkable nowadays, because it would brand you as an outsider.
We need to learn, somehow, that we are a community. Unfortunately I have no idea how that could be accomplished.
By the way I hate the "trying too hard to fit in" line. It creates an aversion to /a/ culture, and I don't think that's a good thing. We need to give people more breathing room to be anons, but the enforcing of whatever rules we do have must be an honored and accepted practice. If somebody enforces out of line, then that should be the focus of the critique.
One thing I don't miss are the tripfags/namefags/avatarfags. Notice how there is only a single one in this thread.

>>133581035
It was nice when the people who browsed /v/ were still basically the same crowd as us.

They're all confined in their generals, I trust. Look at the Madoka thread. And look at how cancerous it is with their shitty blogging and circlejerking. Who from generals leaves their generals and visits meta-threads? Absolutely fucking none of them.

>>133580665
The attitude of "everything is srs business" and "there are no jokes, everyone is out to get me" pre-date those bait images. Accusing everyone of trolling when they made jokes was the same thing. It was pretty common to see the "I was pretending to be retarded" comic in response to someone explaining what a joke is.
4chan didn't die because of idiots thinking they were in good company because everyone was pretending to be an idiot. It died because of autists thinking they were in good company
>>133581072
Even in 2008 /a/ knew VLC was shit.
>>133580989

>>133580892
>The only thing that can be done is to spread dissent on our own and from following the threads.
Those threads are horrible. They are no fun to participate in normally (unless you support that general's rules), and just shitposting is not the answer.
What you are proposing is actual work. That's not going to happen.
>>133577464
>where are my fucking subs?
Well we have cr/funi for that now, at least they're always timely.
I don't watch fansubs anymore. After seeing countless fansubbing groups break up / quit / go inactive amidst a storm of drama, anger, and general butthurt, I've realized how painful and terrible it is for us to make them suffer by subbing anime.
>>133581126
Also, all the people in generals? They're all fucking dead inside and basically robots. They're posting the same shit, asking the same questions, giving the same responses and they don't even respond to stimulus. Even shitposts often don't even register.

The thread looks awful, and you would be better off posting that on another board. And people complain about Ecchi shows on /a/.
It's sad I've lost most of my old 4chan pictures in one of my countless hard drive failures.
2006/2007 were the best years for /a/ and anime was so fucking good at that time. Pretty fun to remember how much we had to wait for subs back then now that we have simulcasts.
>"/a/ isn't fun anymore"
I've come back around on this sentiment. 2013 and most of 2014 were shit, but the past year has been good, so much so I'verediscovered the fun of waiting for weekly shows so I can discuss with anons.
>>133581286
Not surprising.
/a/ and 4chan in general were non-consumer culture. People put work into their fun because doing good work is a kind of fun.
These days we've been invaded by conformists of varying types: both normalfags and stormfags, both of whom have no appetite for thought and even less willingness to put any effort towards novelty.
>>133581204
You don't watch anime that aren't picked up by official subbers?
>>133581390
No, YOU a shit.
>>133581480
I think "/a/ isn't fun anymore" is more a state of mind, rather than an absolute thing.
You probably never had as much fun on 4chan as you did in the first 6 months you were here
>>133581223
>>133581286
So what, General-Invasion Day?
Everyone goes and watches whatever the lucky general is about, and unshitposts it?
Then tells everyone "congrats, you've been invaded by quality content, now go watch X, we're all invading that next week!"?
>>133581281
Did the issue with the limited colorspace ever get fixed? Was still there after all the so called emprovements despite the bug being there for years. Haven't bothered to even check anymore.

Killing the shitposting literally killed /jp/.
>>133581126
>Who from generals leaves their generals and visits meta-threads? Absolutely fucking none of them.
If the mods decide to remove them they'll be here crying about it.
You can't beat the Generals /a/, they're part of 4chan now. Every board other /a/ has embraced them.
No one other than the people here in /a/ meta threads see them as the cancer they are.
>>133581462
And sure enough, there are mods that probably disapprove of generals too. You know the famshit before the filter, there was a mod deleting the garbage and ignoring shitposts about it even though the number was totally dwarfed. And so I shitposted alone, and counted the results. And it dropped by maybe a quarter. And the filter came.
TG is fucking reddit according to that image floating aroun. TGfags know their threads are shit and there are those on the fence about making all those fucking waiting threads. It's just us that is not making their decision for them.

It's this defeatist attitude that automatically spells defeat. Floating around, I noticed there's a similar mentality towards generals on /sp/ and they have their own resistance. We're not alone. I'm sure of that.

I think that's partially due to the announcement for Love Live Sunshine, as well as the Cinderella Girls anime that aired recently. It was much worse before, with the mobage being a prominent point of discussion. Thankfully, that was moved some time ago. Perhaps they could be removed in due time where the backlash won't be as strong nor as justified because of recent events.
There are a lot of series lacking translations for the manga, no new episodes or even news about it altogether that still have constant generals. If any actions needs to be taken, those should be first. As much as I absolutely adore Yuru Yuri, the threads prior to San Hai were abysmal when there wasn't discussion about manga chapters. Those threads were far too frequent for what content they had.

Ironic shitposting has destroyed this site. People don't understand that when you parrot something you don't want on the site for so long, you create a fucking culture around it that encourages the very thing you didn't want on the site in the fucking first place.
>>133581478
Everything pre-2010 has vanished from my computer.
>>133581563
I think it depends on the threads your posting in. The last few years anything receiving any sort of hype results threads that get more and more toxic as time went on. Meanwhile the stuff that get overlooked tends to be where I find the most fun.
>>133581738
Fuck those fags who spam the f/sn bait images at any opinion that doesn't conform to their own.
>>133581563
I agree, but I honesty think I have had fun for the majority of the time I've been here.
I've seen a few old screencaps floating round thr last month showing pre-captcha /a/, and I felt a little sick. Fun as they were, they were dark days.
>>133581563
The site was always dying during my first six months. I remember having a lot fun for years at a time and I still do have fun but the quality of the board has really taken a dive. The new posters are too fractured and they're unwilling to put time and effort into their posts.
>>133581751
>Madoka threads are like an entirely different world nowadays.
Right. I've seen discussions over which tripfag they most want to see in a maid costume, as well as shipping the tripfags together in those threads. And it never gets deleted. All I can assume is that a mod is a poster in them.

Every meta thread until you like it. It's like we're reenacting 4chan history in microcosm.
>>133581751
>I don't know how they're untouched by moderation
Presumably because the people in the threads don't report the posts.

I usually call people out on posting styles that don't belong on /a/ so long as they don't seem to be actively fishing for a reaction with just these transgressions.
I was on the fence with the now-filtered stuff. I hated it, but they didn't seem to be explicit shitposting by the book. I acted cowardly.
I'm glad this face didn't get the same fate than the troll ones and the likes.
Someone should spam like 20 threads on different computers right before those generalfags necrobump.

Those are two different things. Confining discussion of something that doesn't have a very active community to a single thread is a good thing, because it brings more people into the discussion.
Keeping "discussion" alive beyond its actual life-time is a bad thing because it does not prolong the actual discussion. It just promotes unrelated activities. Dumping fanart is the least of your problems. Blogging is really inevitable then.
Speaking of generals, I'm kinda worried that recently a couple of people seem to be trying to gradually turn scanlation threads into one as well. They've already got the 'bump the thread when it's at page 9/10 for a few posts' part down.
Hiroyuki and moot died for this bullshit.

Christ, this was the absolute worst thing tow tiness during the opening week of /his/.
Not the /pol/ accusations/threads or wikipedia warriors, it was the fucking flood of generals. It was like no one gave a fuck about what they were doing and what potential awfulness would fester from those.
Thankfully, it seems they mostly died off (although I wish they would die off for good), no more stupid /tito/ or /middle east/ general.
>>133582173
It's just one dude, and even he seems to be losing the will lately.
The weekly thread was perfection, now it's redundant.
>>133582173
They're not actively attempting to assimilate threads into Generals, they're doing that because that's how it works in generals and that's probably all they know.
>>133582173
The mangafags have and will kill generals for as long as they live. OPT has never made actual general status, no matter how shit. If anyone knows the story of DEEPFAG threads, you should know how it goes despite how much mangafags want threads.
>>133582299
But that's exactly the issue. Generals in itself isn't the problem, it's the mentality behind generals.
>>133582256
Where do theses people come from? Like half the board was generals the first week.
>>133582243
I feel like anything that has a currently-airing show can have a thread.
It would be nice if blogshit got reported, but as long as it's just fanart dumps I can't get that excited.
All in all I don't feel like generals are a threat to /a/, not compared to the boring and easily provoked moronic normalfags and /pol/fags.
>>133582231

This is why generals are here to stay. It's not that the masses of people going to /his/ actually want the board to go to shit, it's that generals are just how things are done on most of the site now and it doesn't occur to people not to make them.
>Where do theses people come from?
4chan. While generals are bad because they make the place more like a forum, the actual behaviour and attitudes around generals are something that they would've had to pick up on 4chan
>>133582501
Exactly, my point. These other generals, NEVER, FUCKING NEVER, leave the board. Naruto threads are less stale than some of these fucking generals despite the same old shitposting, dubs and questions.
>>133582361
>I feel like anything that has a currently-airing show can have a thread.
It can have a thread so long as it's discussing the currently airing show.

>>133582788

A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

If there's a general in which you wish you could post, but it's too cancerous, get out the specific cancer posts, and start having a decent discussion.
Some of the generals seem decent, like the Precure one had actual discussion the last 5 times I checked it, but I don't give a shit about the others so I dunno if they're awful or what.

There was a song in the music thread that I really liked. I literally decided to download it the day it went down.
>>133584413
I tried fufufu andmegucafor a slower paced, more chill type of discussion in the hopes that it would be like older /a/.
While they were slower, it was basically like a smaller modern /a/ in all respects (less hostile though) and the discussion wasn't engaging enough to stick around.
I think a lot of /a/nons over dramatize how "good it used to be". It's easy to remember the good things that aren't there any more, but none of you seem to remember any of bad things that aren't here any more either.

There's a correlation here, fyi. As much as it can be tiresome browsing in an environment of constant contention and conflict, that's exactly the environment that allows/a/ to sustain at very least entertaining discussion, and occasionally actually worthwhile ones.

My 4chan is as close to as it was after I installed 4chan-X etc. Copied over most of the CSS and even maintained my own scripts for a while.
>>133585367
I'd probably had it on for some other convenience. Like I'd said, most of those weren't capped with the intent of showing anyone else, so I didn't really bother. Honestly, I still don't (maybe occasionally edit something to look cleaner if I'm actually intending to post it somewhere), but I haven't had that setting turned on in at least two years unless I was temporarily on another computer.

You are not anyone when you are anonymous. Some people may confuse "Anonymous" for an identity, but you are basically just doing the same mistake as certain reporters when they speak of the evil hacker from 4chan.
Anonymous is a handle for people without an identity and every post you make is actually part of an elaborate pretense of the identity that you do not have.
You are nobody. Even if people recognize your posting style elsewhere, you still have no identity. You are anonymous.
>>133587449
Yes. It's quite easy. Turn the image on it's head and subtract x.

Is that correct?
>>133587599
>since we said we were Anonymous,
You are still capitalizing it, not giving up on the pretense of identity. That's the point. You are not saying it, but you are implying it.
A friend would be somebody tangible. By promising to be a friend you promise to be just that. You are intangible. You are not Anonymous. You are just anonymous.
>>133587639
>A friend would be somebody tangible. By promising to be a friend you promise to be just that. You are intangible.
Jesus is intangible and doesn't talk to you.
I am intangible and I do talk to you.
People think of Jesus as a friend, yet I'm more tangible than him.
A friend can be someone with whom you talk, and have no other interactions.

>>133587739
>Jesus is intangible and doesn't talk to you.
Jesus is not my friend.
>yet I'm more tangible than him.
The reason for most of the hostility on /a/ is that you are *not* tangible.
When you meet somebody, as in, a person, even if it is on the internet, you do not treat him with the same suspicion as you treat an anon. A single wrong word can lead to the conclusion that "he doesn't belong here" even though you know that it is very possible you are happily chatting with him in a different thread.
So long as you cannot put an identity to an anon, they are nobody.
Having nobody for a friend means having no friend. You can't call him out when you feel sad. You can't even trust him with your secrets when you do meet him because to him those very secrets would be proof that you do not belong.
>A friend can be someone with whom you talk, and have no other interactions.
Correct. But it's got to be *some*body.

>The reason for most of the hostility on /a/ is that you are *not* tangible.
Son, the reason for the hostility is that you're trying to win an argument via intimidation.
Protip: you're not winning.
>Correct. But it's got to be *some*body.
I think you're trying to make a point about identity, but you are not actually making a point, just repeating something which I already said.
Again, you're the only hostility here, and by being hostile you're not making a point. You're just looking petulant.
>>133587937
I apologize if I come across as hostile. That was not my intent. Care to point that out?
>I think you're trying to make a point about identity,
I'm saying somebody is not nobody.
It suffices to talk. But talking to nobody is not the same as talking to a friend, because a friend must be a person.

Apology accepted.
The specifics are: ignoring the arguments and instead trying to score points. That's basic shitposting technique, as I'm sure you are aware.
To address your point: everyone on here is a person. "A friend must be a person" is nonsense, because there are no non-people here... well except the adbots, I guess, but they don't post in my threads much.
If you mean that a friend must have an identity, that's a wholly different issue, and not one with which I can agree.
