That was a year and a half ago. You shouldn't even be posting if you weren't here for Usuka.
Who?
>>144313186
I miss him everyday.
>>144316811
He's the meme master.
we summon moot nao
>>144317162
I think moot is a lurker on /m/ /jp/ and /a/. I bet he is lurking this thread and we wouldn't even know it. Basically moot didn't die, he became Santa.
>>144317276
But moot hates /jp/.

>>144317515
nah anon
>>144317590
I thought /fit/ was his current board.
>>144317851
I don't know, in his final q&a he said that he stopped lifting.
QUACK
he can't browse 4chan from his work at google, people would think he is weird

How did Snacks feel about moot's retirement?
>>144322699
Whatever happened to him?
Who's that?
>>144316376
I still have his thread on my thread watcher for some reason.
Who's moot?
Not that Hiro is a bad owner but fuck I miss moot man.

Hey guys, what's going on in this thread? Oh, I moot. Honk Honk

>>144313186
Who is this?
>>144324037
That anon was talking about W.T. Snacks, not moot.
What japanesse animes did he like??
moot was a faggot whose only redeeming factor was introducing chans to the anglophone net
4chan is literally the worst chan there is however
>>144323950
speaking of that pic, anybody going to be at Otakon in a few weeks?
>>144324078
The anime cutest girl of them all
posting rare moots
Isn't he at Google now?
>>144324150
LotGH, Eva, Yotsuba, Azumanga for sure. Not sure about anything else.
>>144323780
I wouldn't count on it.
He went full SJW this winter and has stated that not closing down 4chan in 07-08 was the biggest mistake of his life and that he feels disgusted by the site.
He said he felt sorry for all the lives 4chan and the *chan-culture had affected negatively, and regretted the role he played in getting the ball rolling.
>>144323775
It's more likely than you think.
>>144324153
the 4chan copy-cat sites are worse. 8ch probably being the best copy-cat site though
>>144324254
Source.
So why isn't Hiro as cute?
>>144324150
Cowboy BeBop
and what
>>144324218
said
What I want to know is, what did he think of Card Captor Sakura?
>>144324357
Just look at his tumblr site man.
>>144323528
some faggot
>>144324153
So, he was basically the Bruce Lee of Chinese internet memes?
>>144324150
I think he said Planetes was one of the most recent things he watched either in his last panel or a bit earlier.
>>144324412
He's evil
>>144324441
link?
>>144324461
fucking stupid namefag didnt come off fuck
>>144324467
His works aren't actually that good but is revered because of high initial exposure among a new audience?
Yeap, sounds appropriate.
>>144324412
Do you guys have a Hiro folder by now? I lumped his pics together with moot pics.
>>144324254
Bullshit on all levels.
He grew distant with 4chan because he was too busy with business and running the site. He completely fell behind with anime and was falling behind with anime culture as a whole.
He talks about this and more in his last Q&A.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYUKJBZuUig
>>144324412
Hiro should make his presence more felt.
Moot was right to abandon this shithole sinking ship of a website
>>144313186
Ewww 3DPD
Who /cried during Q&A/ here?
>>144324646
He talks about a lot of shit in the final Q&A. That god damn thing is several hours long (and I was there for all of it).
>>144324412
He has a different personality.
That's basically it.
>>144324700
N-not me.
I just want him to post with a capcode once in a while.
>>144324689
You wash that dirty whore mouth
>>144324412
I don't know, Hiro's pretty moe dude.
>>144324763
He's not allowed anymore.
Would get banned on the spot.
>>144324412
He is a shy little girl compared to Moot who has been pretty dominant
>>144324777
Yes dad
>>144324706
Me too, almost. I fell asleep near the end, but listened to the rest on the next day.
The whole fucking thing felt surreal at the time, it was so sad.
>>144324839
So is this correct:
Moot: Asuka
Hiro: Rei
???
>>144324873
Yeah, listening to moot ramble on for hours was interesting. I cried a couple of bitch tears with the final good bye.
>>144324898
How long till some old slut buys this website and tries to fuck the underage kids on /v/?
>>144324898
So hiro is not a human being?
>>144324818
wish i saw him post more only saw him on his first Q&A
>you will die without ever having gotten a (you) from moot
>>144324331
at least theyre not as hotpocketed as here
8ch*n has become a dump though (which is actually moots fault thanks to the ridiculous amount of /pol/acks there)
>>144313186
Moot andWTSnacksSOL anime when?
>>144324991
Maybe you did and you just never knew it because he wasn't using his nameat least I hope that's what happened to me
>>144324991
I've gotten 3.
:3
>>144324935
It's already happened.
>>144324991
I got called a newfag by moot in 2009.
I wish I had been around more when the site was still smaller and more closely knit.
>>144324254
Implying 4chan didn't act as depression relief for many and wasn't a great outlet for anons who weren't socially inept.
Also 4chan still a pretty awesome site as one can easily talk about any topic, anons are honest, there are certain circlejerks but then again there is little conformity of opinion and people aren't afraid to call shit shit.
>4chan will never have both m00t and hiro as admins
Oh god, I miss him so much
>>144325069
many chans have that atmosphere.
>>144324991
>tfw moot gave me a (You)
I will treasure it forever.
Just one more time I want to see moot's trip.
>>144325101
From what I've seen Hiro hardly interacts with the community at all. Moot at least showed up every few weeks on one board or another.
What If....
Tom from MySpace took ownership of 4chan instead of hiro after moot left?
>>144325071
>tfw when the ruling culture mafia wants to block all unsanctioned opinions on social media so that no one's feelings can be hurt
I hope they never get to 4chan.
>>144325150

>>144325155
I think Hiro is a bit crippled by the language barrier.
>>144325177
He might be my one and only friend but I barely know the guy
>>144325155
Hiro posts on /qa/ every now and then. Last month he thanked a guy for complimenting his photo.
>>144325216
He said we were here forever.
>>144325140

I also imagined that early /b/ culture would last forever.
>>144325331
It hurts anon. It hurts so much
>>144325146
What was the context behind the question?
>>144325331
Implying he isn't anonymously posting now.

WT Snacks is still doing Midnight Snacks every Tues at Midnight. I meet him randomly at an anime con in Chicago recently.
>Snacks: I doesn't go on 4chan anymore.

>Snacks: [silent agreement and reluctant nod]
>How moot is doing? He's at Google now, ay?
>I don't talk to him much anymore
I then went and got a print of a loli from the artist's alley and tried to get him to sign it. He signed it "moot" with hearts for the o's.
>>144325577

>>144325004
It was doomed the second they decided letting the users create their own subreddits was a good idea. Giving people an easy way to isolate themselves from the larger userbase whenever they find a point of contention just leads to stagnation and shitposting. Case in point: generals.
Taking in a bunch of /pol/ and /v/ users just accelerated the inevitable.

oh yes, whether he was a homosexual or a transexual. What was the answer?
>>144324991
Got two from moot, once eight years ago (although he quoted multiple people in one thread) and once when he did that QA panel just before leaving us.
I wonder if he misses us, even a little bit
>>144325850
Not the best loli, but the only quick one I could find in a ruch before he disappeared.

The fuck? It makes the site easier to navigate. I agree that generals are cancer, though.

This just confirms my statement even further.

No, those aren't the causes, those are the results. 4chan is just a victim of its own popularity.

Hiro, please post in this thread!
>There are people who didnt sit through his full 8 hour final Q&A

Don't rub it in anon. I learned my lesson.

They have a long history of making shit. I know their 3 TB HDDs have horrible failure rate, but I don't know about the 4TB ones.
>>144324150
Would moot like re:zero? I bet he would.
>>144326797
That's what Jebus' synopsis was for.
>>144326255
The catalog is a good usability improvement. Usability improvements are just a double edged sword in that they also make the site more appealing to newfags. The catalog itself isn't the problem, it's the fact that people use it as a way of finding "their threads" to go hide in instead of casually browsing for something that catches their eye.
Generals are pure cancer, though. Just the idea that every thread needs to be based on a broad, singular topic is backwards.
>>144326557
>>144326602
moot was very against the idea of catalogs and fought against it.
He believed the randomness and sporadic nature of 4chan without a catalog was what made this site so great.
Catalogs obviously lead to generals. This site is becoming Leddit 2.0.
>>144326759
4chan isn't so bad yet.
Sure, it's not the same thing as back in 07, but it's still the only tolerable place online.
The only bastion of web 1.0 in a shit ocean of vapid commercialized and SJWed social media.
>>144326992
Been here since 07 still kinda feels the same more or less. Just more fags but you can't help that.
>>144326881
>tfw browsed for 6 years and have never hidden a thread
I see what you mean though
>>144326619
Kill yourself, faggot.
>>144326881
I blame Madoka threads for starting generals.
>>144327060
I feel like current Madoka threads are the logical end point of all generals. People literally ship tripfags together in them.
>>144327017
I feel like something broke in 2010-12, especially on /a/. I just doesn't feel the exact same.
Maybe it's just that the shows we talk about changed, and I don't like any of the new ones.
Or maybe it's nothing and I'm just getting old.
>>144327023
Same. I also don't get filtering words. How sensitive can you be?
>>144327101
It's the shows, there's nothing to really watch this season it's why I frequent every other board now.

2ch is not the secret club you think it is.
>>144326869
Does anyone even use /e/? Like, anyone at all? Why?

asukafags confirmed for walking trash
>>144326691
>/qa/ still Complaining About /pol/: The Board
Yes it is. "Delete /pol/" is even a meme now on this board. It's a mess, normalfags complaining about anime, s4s shitposting, bronies trying to abolish GR15. Every now and then Hiro shows up for an irrelevant post.
>>144327510
I think it's either /po/ or /i/
>>144327433
I wasn't talking about 2ch specifically. That site is sort of like 4chan in that it's not really worth browsing as a community.
The rest of the japanese internet lags a bit behind the rest of the world, however. This has a lot of downsides but the one positive thing about it is that the negative effects of over-centralization of internet communities hasn't affected them as much as it has for the rest of the internet
>>144327334
>and less friendly
It's the other way round. The internet is getting too friendly that now, if you try to form your own group, suddenly you're the bad guy who is trying to exclude others from your 'secret club'. Oh, and carrying about people's feelings is a bigger deal than it used to.
Basically, it now mirrors real life since social media is now the norm.
>>144327529
Are you saying that Rei is in hell and Asuka in heaven, which is why Reifags suicide while Asukafags don't, since they both want to be with their waifus? You'd be right if you are.
>this cancerous faggot posting shit thinking his opinion is relevant
>>144327532
kek, somebody didn't like their Boku no Pico rec
>>>/qa/593081
>>144327576
I suppose, I consider it a fake kind of friendliness, though. Exclusivity isn't necessarily unfriendliness.
What we have now is that people pretend to be friendly and all-encompassing, but they will still gossip and talk shit behind your backs and silently exclude others. That's not friendly at all.
>>144327334
Why don't we create a new imageboard? 4chan went to shit with all the /b/ edgy faggotry like 5 years ago and now it's in a terminal state. It's time to abandon this cesspool and go find a new place to shitpost.
>>144327576
>internet is getting too friendly
>>144327611
ebin!!
>>144327510
/trv/ and /an/ are pretty low traffic. /po/, /n/, /gd/ and /3/ are all in "thats a board?" category. I think /t/ is nearly completely dead though.
>>144327622
I'm sure you'll succed where all the breakaway chans have failed over the years.
>>144327622
>Why don't we create a new imageboard? 4chan went to shit with all the /b/ edgy faggotry like 5 years ago and now it's in a terminal state. It's time to abandon this cesspool and go find a new place to shitpost.
Yeah! And and instead of a 4, we could have an 8, to show we're twice as good!
>>144327596
How kind of you to post something about me.
>>144327622
Do you know how many imageboards there are that have that mentality?
What the fuck was the point of this character
>>144327702
His nose is pointy.
>>144327611
I actually agree on the point that /a/ is elitist as fuck. The post is bait as a whole, but that point is most definitely true.
>>144327665
The fact that you didn't think of 7chan first is proof you're a newfag.
>>144327732
I don't think it's necessarily elitist, there's all kinds of discussions going on, it's just pretty unwelcoming in general. People seem to think constant shitposting and generally being unhelpful is the "4chan" thing to do, I guess.
>>144327622
It's extremely difficult, and a new imageboard would just fail like the others did. It's not the time or place for us to try to make a 'new' 4chan. It won't be for a very long time.
Making communities is extremely difficult. It's a kind of science, and nobody treats it like one. If you want to make a new, good community, you have to have an incredibly educated background on researching internet communities, what makes them successful and worth browsing, what makes them bad for their users, what makes them healthy for their members, etc. You want to make a space that's exclusive but not muh sekret club!!!, you want to make a space that's healthy and makes a positive difference in the lives of its users, but not too safe to where it becomes infested with the problems that inhabit communities like tumblr because they try to be too safe and accepting.
It's a very taxing, time consuming, expensive, and difficult thing to do, especially when you're competing against the massive conglomerates that are reddit, facebook, twitter, et al. for users.

>implying he won't be the world's first magical boy
come on, how can you not see this from a mile away?
>>144327622
Yes, make your own chan, with blackjack and loli hookers. Literally everyone else has done this and failed in the past.
>>144327798
To be fair, /a/'s ability to turn away people who are unwelcome has made it keep a lot of the old "4chan spirit." The humor here is closer to what I remember from the old days. Its still sliding down the shitter, just slower than everyone else.
>TFW you've gotten a (You) from moot before.
I asked him if he ever smoked weed.
>>144327334
I notice that many liberal sites are starting to turn on reddit. Probably because their whole goal is to mimic 4chan, only now they're mimicking the parts leftists don't like.
>>144327334
You don't even know anon. The internet and the software/devices used to access it are worse on many more levels than what you describe. We've long since passed the point where the web be saved without completely moving to alternative services.
>season 2 never
>>144327334
Honestly, I'm just happy to have experienced the Internet as it once was. Been surfing the web since 1999 and it was a different beast back then.
>>144327798
To be fair, /a/ is a lot calmer and nicer than it was when I joined. When I joined, people would call you nigger, fuck off and actually call for you to be banned if your post was wrong or inaccurate. Now, people either help you fix your opinion or tell you it's shit but will still respond to you.
>>144326837
Do you have the link? I was about to start watching the 8 hour one.
I'm pretty sure moot still lurks a few boards, but it's difficult to tell which. He did say his interests have changed, but he probably still browses /a/ out of nostalgia, if nothing else.
>>144327334
>news source
The only thing reddit is good for is game guides since they are more autistic and in depth than the ones on /vg/.and free porn site accounts
>>144327665
4+4chan is fucking retarded though, there's no way a site where everyone can create their own boards would ever work in an anonymous imageboard format.
Also if there's so many imageboard why don't we just migrate to a random one? Or are you faggots to used to the /v/ tier amount of posts we have here nowadays?

Reddit is good, I find, for quick google searches on irrelevant things and patch notes on games. Guides for games work too. Plus, if there's server problems or something going on with [thing] I like to play or use, someone on reddit is probably bitching about it.
Never use it to communicate with other people, though. And avoid it as a source of humor. It's just recycling things from a different source. Always find and engage the source of whatever humor you enjoy, rather than having it come from someone else feeding you it.

/e/ is a pretty nice board. It probably has the least shitposting of all the porn dump boards.
>>144327510
In terms of pure posting quantity it's /po/, but the feel of the speed of a board depends on new thread creation as much as post quantity, especially on the slow boards.
/f/ doesn't get many posts, but it feels like a moderately paced board because the catalog is completely cleansed several times a day. Boards like /e/ and /t/ that have threads that last over a year feel super slow. /an/ and /c/ have posting rates almost as slow, but they feel a lot faster because they have a lot of short threads or centralize posting into a handful of faster ones.
>>144327334
4chan is still the best out of the lot though, at least people speak their minds here.
>knew 4chan since 2011

It's not the sadness of losing a friend. It's like the uncomfortably empty feeling when you just had an amnesia and found out someone you didn't even remember actually a friend of yours, he's just gone, and you just can't feel sad.
>>144328171
>It probably has the least shitposting of all the porn dump boards.
Because it's the board containing the porn that the least amount of people want to see. 2D softcore with no fetishes? There's nothing on that board that could even get me hard.

>>144328278
True, but /a/ honestly isn't as elitist as a lot of people make the board out to be. A lot of it is just to get normalfags to fuck off and isn't meant to be taken seriously.
>>144328331
>"Baneposting can be my legacy"
Every time.

Comics and western animation is very mainstream plus sadly a lot of people from tumblr post there.
>>144328171
I'm surprised that /a/ is so high and still manages to be one of the most decent boards.
>>144328171
I'm surprised /pol/ isn't higher. I've been lurking recently due to Brexit and all the other stuff going on recently, and threads hit page 10 way faster than threads here.
>>144328819
That's old and /pol/ has a lower bump limit.
>>144327510
/i/ still has a thread up made 3 years ago
>>>/i/412483
>>144324991
Our paths crossed at a train station. He looked tired and in a rush so I silently watched him leave.
I wish I knew he'd leave /a/ forever during that time but that was around 2010 I think.
>>144326420
He talked about it in his final Q&A. He ended up buying a LD copy of the show as memory serves.
>>144328819
>threads hit page 10 way faster than threads here.
That's arguably because /pol/ shitposts a lot more. More threads don't meet basic survival attention and are DOA and fall off.
>>144325874
It isn't. They weed out the redpilled during the on-site.
>>144328941
Went over and gave it a bump. It'd be a shame to have such a long-lived thread die.
>>144326992
>4chan isn't so bad yet
Do you visit the other boards? It's encroaching fast now, I can feel it. Soon /a/ will also fall to the relentless normalfaggotry infesting the internet.
This website is still better than anything out there really.
Everything else is slow or a hugbox.
And its probably the only site that's userbase is still big after 13 years.
>>144329086
Yeah but I want /a/ to have Anonymous-san style bans. You didn't lurk? Banned.
>>144329069
Are the other boards savable? I know /v/ is gone for good, but I have faith /g/ can be saved.
>>144329069
I think the only way 4chan survived the overwhelming amount of normalfags pouring in is that it has a way of making them its own. They slowly learn the culture, but as of recently, there's so many new users coming in that it really feels like this place is going to hell.
We can only hope it plateaus for a while to let the assimilation take place.
>>144328518
The fact that newfags get pissed about elitism and go elsewhere to complain about it means it's working. Anyone who has lurked for a decent amount of time and isn't a complete moron will be able to fit in just fine. Only the people who don't belong here will be put off by it.
I think this is what that other anon was talking about when he said the Internet was becoming more friendly, or more expecting of friendliness. People seem to expect every place they go to accept them and view being told to fuck off as some huge insult to their personality, but being told you don't belong shouldn't be an insult, it's a recommendation that is beneficial to both parties. Just like being called out for using VLC or deadfish.
>>144329128
I want the mods to publicly ban people for posting stupid shit. No one notices if it's just a post that gets deleted.
>>144329154
>but I have faith /g/ can be saved.

>>144329214
A man can dream anon, a man can dream.
>>144329155
Truly, 4chan is the America of the internet.
>>144328810
Being vitriolic and unwelcoming really works, apparently. It's kinda sad, but it's clearly true.
>>144329154
>/g/ can be saved
It will never be the same
>>144329154
It depends on the quality of posts. /his/, for example, is doing great.

No thank you.
>>144329449
I just wish mods would tell /v/ and consumer whores on /g/ to fuck off. I'm not asking for a lot here.
>>144326759
4chan is still mostly untainted my the mainstream internet culture, at least from what I can tell, since I haven't been here for all that long.
/b/ is the buffer board and is admittedly shit, /pol/ is 50/50, but /pol/ is almost it's own unique website so it's mostly fine, and /v/ really is /a/'s little sister and still largely fine, but /a/ seems untouched.
>>144329394

>>144329512

Which one is his biggest mistake, I wonder? I'd still say /r9k/ because it ended up being so different from what he intended it to be.
>>144327210
Which movie anon?
I'm curious
>>144327334
Chill. /a/ is still very very good as a board. Newfags aren't coming here as much as the other boards.
>>144317276
He doesnt even watch anime
>>144329890
>Which one is his biggest mistake, I wonder?
I know it's the easy answer, but it's /pol/. He learned nothing from the original /n/ or /news/, apparently.
>>144329394
its pretty good but also too slow
>>144329784
/pol/ will probably shrink after the elections.
>>144329975
I'm pretty sure he brought /pol/ back because he finally realized that containment boards were a necessary evil to get that trash off better boards. Compared to how things were, at least when I think of /k/ things are definitely better in that regard now.
>>144326646
You should split it into pieces with imagemagick or something
>>144330030
I can only hope.

oh hell no. Trump is definitely getting elected and /pol/ shows no signs of stopping. I'm just glad our /pol/ isn't as bad as 8/pol/.
>>144327334
I feel exactly like this. Do you have to delve into the darknet to get away from the tide? Then again the darknet isn't really what I'm looking for either.
>people think /a/ is going to shit
/a/ has stayed a solid board consistently over the years. You can't say the same for the other large boards.
>>144329838
a guide on hair and skin care (part from /fa/ and this real life girl, who I am of acquaintance ) also claim to a semi-andro face by said person (but I still don't buy it really).

>>144324407
https://youtu.be/SUamHEvVQy0
>>144330116
I don't think /a/ has gone to shit but I have realized that I don't like anime as much as I used to. Which is the main reason for why I don't lurk /a/ as much anymore
>>144330116
Why is /a/ an exception though? People say it's the elitist attitude or the high concentration of oldfags or having a culture that still values lurking above everything, but I don't think that is the entire explanation. Before we qualify /a/ as either doomed or protected it's important to analyze why we have escaped harm so far relatively to the other boards.
>>144313186
>>144314581
It feels bad that I'll never get to shitpost in a moot thread again.
>>144330258
This just isn't a board a normalfag would care about. Boards like /v/ for example will attract normalfags, but anime, not so much.
>>144329948
>as much as the other boards
That's nothing to feel good about though.
>>144330258
Because some people on /a/ still like anime, unlike /v/ where everyone seems to hate games.
IT'S OUR LOVE THAT MAKES /a/ WHAT IT IS.
>>144330258
When normalfags think about anime they think about those kids with terrible acne running around speaking broken Japanese and wearing Naruto headbands.
>>144330258
Anime itself is not very popular. It's still fairly niche, whereas things like video games now appeal to the masses.

>>144330258
Here are a few of the reasons I think:
>niche hobby
>elitist attitude
>devoted community
Larger boards (/b/, /v/, /pol/) feel less like a community and more like a gathering of like-minded individuals. The random board attracts newfags but I imagine the user base changes constantly as the years go by. /b/tards will usually migrate to other boards, leaving /b/ in the dust. As for /pol/ and /v/, these boards attract more people than anime. More people = more newfags.

It's really weird though. /v/ has this strange frankeinstein thing going on where it feels half-/a/-ish, half-normie newfags, but you can't really distinguish them as discrete individuals, more like every one is an unholy fusion of the two, if that makes sense?
It's still one of the better boeards from my experience.

>>144330049
>I'm pretty sure he brought /pol/ back because he finally realized that containment boards were a necessary evil to get that trash off better boards.
Except that mentality doesn't work. Cancer multiplies in quarantine. People could have just told them to fuck off until they realized they weren't welcome, but with a board of their own, they get even worse and worse ideas, and then spam them in other boards. It's essentially just giving them a home to come back to. They don't deserve a home.
>>144329517
There are a lot of boards were the mods refuse to enforce the topic and just let people post about whatever. /v/, /g/, and /u/ all stand out in this regard.
I wish mods would go on a rampage for a few months to remind everyone that there are rules to posting.
>>144330668
I remember the threads when people discovered this site.
>>144329361
>posts just die in the middle of the day

That's how /pol/ is too. A congregation of oldfags and right off the boat newfags.
>>144330781
>I don't like them, they don't deserve a place to call their own
The spirit of 4chan.
>>144330691
I wouldn't say /v/ is one of the better boards but I agree about the unholy fusion. It's probably because video games, despite being so appropriated by mainstream culture and of course being an underage interest of choice, it still is one of the most popular interests of the classic nerd who thus still hang out on /v/ despite it all. Depending on the type of game discussed the userbases between threads on /v/ can be very different.
>>144330535
I hope the 300 shows isn't a meme cause I actually went and did that and will be mad if people were joking with me.

>>144327334
I think its our fault though, I remember back when google was a secret barely anyone knew about 4chan I mean who do you think help make it more common and centralized? we were the ones that built social media us the programmers and lurkers from the depths of IRC but I still miss those days waiting for CTCP packet request... good times

Perhaps a rule should be implemented to keep obvious /pol/-posting on /pol/. It worked very well with the horsefuckers.
>>144330909
Yeah, don't go in there. It's a mess with all the epic Go greentexts and general unironic shitposting. It's bound to die down, but with S/M coming out soon it's gonna be a while.
>>144330983
Don't use normalfag words if you don't want me to call you a normalfag. Normie is a normalfag word.
>>144330896
It's no joke, but I feel like it's a slight exaggeration. If you've sunk about 100+ shows worth of time you're probably here forever anyway. But I've watched over 400 so you don't need to feel cheated. I remember we had a giant >strawpoll some year or two ago about this, and if it were to be believed about 50% of the regular lurkers on /a/ had watched 200+ shows.
>>144330983
I bet you spoonfeed too. Drink bleach.
>>144330258
/a/ has good mods compared to some other boards. /co/ mods for example made a sticky sanctioning /tv/ posting and banning people who think live action threads belong elsewhere.
>>144330909
I love /a/ because Go isn't really discussed at all here(not that it has any reason to be), I hope it stays that way
>>144331047
I dont keep track desu
>>144331022
This is a stupid argument, but how is normie a normalfag word? I don't think I've ever even seen the word being used outside of 4chan. To be fair I don't browse many other sites, but still.
>>144330992
>It worked very well with the horsefuckers.
Strangely enough, it really did. And /trash/ worked great to contain the pony lewds they couldn't have on /mlp/, and /b/ didn't want to see.
Huh. Why the fuck did that work so well?
>>144330781
>Except that mentality doesn't work. Cancer multiplies in quarantine. People could have just told them to fuck off until they realized they weren't welcome
Yes and no. It hasn't always been the case, but in the past 4 years or so politics has begun to seep into every facet of life, for better or worse. A board for politics was/is a necessity to siphon off a majority of the politically charged aspects of our day to day lives. The way I see it, it's not just an issue of /pol/ as a board, but an issue for western society as a whole. Politics is leeching into virtually all aspects of life, so the filter that /pol/ was supposed to be became less effective with time because, as you say, cancer multiplied within, but also began to metastasize for reasons outside of our control. For many boards, the line between what is /pol/-tier and what is on-topic has become blurred.
Also, a politics board would have to be heavily moderated but it's really fucking hard to find people who will be as unbiased as possible when moderating such a politically incorrect board.
>>144331085
I spoonfeed what?
>>144330959
Likely. Another aspect could be that since we like our hobby, we have a resistance to generals and this prevents retards who are only looking for an excuse to socialize from taking over fully.
>>144331220
If I recall, most of the pony posters were trolls and the ones who actually wanted to post pony just wanted somewhere to post it so they were fine with /mlp/ being made.
>>144331092
Yeah, that's a good point. People often give reporting a bad rap but I honestly can't relate, I feel like most of the really justified reports I make are heeded even if it can take over an hour half of the time. I have no basis for it but I also believe /a/ is one of the boards with the highest ratio of reports per poster.
>>144331246
If you don't know what spoonfeeding is in this context you really should leave.

>>144331231
>in the past 4 years or so politics has begun to seep into every facet of life, for better or worse
Politics seems to be getting out of control lately. I'm guessing it's because of the growing focus on social issues, because your moral compass comes into play on social issues. You can disagree with someone of economic matters, or schools, or taxes. But when social issues come up, it's hard not to see someone who disagrees with you as immoral, because they're going against YOUR moral compass, and why would you cooperate with someone you view as immoral?
>>144331448
To be fair, SJWs have gotten very obnoxious as of the past few years forcing leftism down our throats.
>>144331448
That's why 4chan should have stayed a place for discussing nerdy interests. It's just about impossible to discuss politics as an interest without having a heavy bias one way or another.

Newfags come here with a shallow perception of anime and are overwhelmed with romanji titles of dozens of shows they don't recognize and tropes they don't understand, and when they try to make a Naruto or SnK thread they get told to fuck off and banned for using the same shitty grammar and dumb memes that their home board thinks are hilarious. Then they get mad and leave and complain about how shit a board we are.
Basically, /a/ has a strong barrier to entry in the form of cultural standards that other boards lack. That's really important on a site that lets you post with nothing more than a captcha standing in the way.

You're right, but telling people to fuck off only works if you're the majority. /pol/ is a big enough market that they will always be enough of them to make them feel justified in their shitposting.

MLP turned to shit at the end of S2, which made a lot of decent posters drop it and go back to their other hobbies, and the people that were left isolated themselves in fanfiction generals in a desperate attempt to fill the catalog.
Also, the novelty of using it to troll other boards wore off as people got used to it. By the time the rule was implemented the only real pony that was posted outside of /mlp/ was genuine reaction images, which nobody wanted to risk a ban for when they have other options, and porn on /b/, which nobody cares about.
What would you all say to an anon who started browsing /a/ in 2007 and made sure all the pre-2006fags had a bad time?

>>144332743
Prior to the Naruto manga ending, threads discussing Naruto were strictly buried by walls of copypasta and dubsposting. Moot changed the policy and started banning the pastaposters, that's the only reason why Narutards are allowed to have some form of discussion now. If I could I would still pastabomb each and every Naruto thread.
>>144332803
He's right though.
We do have Naruto threads occasionally, and SnK is above average for the genre.
>>144332866
No, threads should die when they are killed.
>>144332803
Okay, ignore my supposedly shit taste then.
You can't deny that /a/ has plenty threads of snk. Opening the archive, I saw 10 in the past 7 days, which shows a lot of people following the manga. And once season 2 starts you can expect daily threads hitting bump limit.
And now sometimes there are naruto threads too.
Despite its elitism, /a/ still likes snk
>>144333056
No, the SnK discussion is limited to a general for a reason.
>>144332918
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here.
What makes you think that the average generic harem/waifubait trash anime is in any way superior to generic shonen trash like Naruto that you feel some sort of pride in sabotaging threads that you clearly don't want anything to do with and no one is asking you to post in?
>>144333056
I finally dropped SnK. Aryan Coconut Nigger boiled then fell 60 meters, but it's okay, he's still breathing. Fuck. The author doesn't know where to take the story.
>>144333133
Because the average generic harem/waifubait trash anime doesn't attract normalfags.
>>144333056
>Despite its elitism, /a/ still likes snk
I believe you mean
>In spite of its elitism, /a/ tolerates snkbut not really
This has been an enjoyable thread. I love you /a/ll.
>>144333056
No, a shitty general really likes SnK. /a/ hates it.
S2 will flood us with crossboarders posting SnK threads. /a/ will hate it even more.
You're confusing a tiny, isolated segment of the population as the general consensus. That's a common mistake when you're new to a community and why you should lurk more before making comments like this.
>>144333133
It's not that there's a vast quality difference. It's that doing so keeps the <10 shows newfags away while everyone else just loses one out of dozens of like shows to talk about.
>>144333173
>Because the average generic harem/waifubait trash anime doesn't attract normalfags.
Have you ever been to or interacted with any other anime community other than /a/?
Also, you think having naruto threads will create this magical magnetic property that will attract people who usually don't come here for some reason? Do these people have a sixth sense tht tells them when Naruto threads are active on the internet somewhere?
Don't delude yourself, most people on /a/ who post on Naruto threads are already people from here.
>>144333340
>most people on /a/ who post on Naruto threads are already people from here.
It's a shame. Maybe they would leave if Naruto was banned.
>>144333296
But you're assuming those people will magically appear here and assimilate because there's a naruto thread once in a while rather than the reality that is some people who already post here secretly or not so secretly enjoy Naruto and want to talk about it or just enjoy shitposting about it.
>>144333340
You are half right. Naruto doesn't do that, but Jojo and Berserk does. In previous meta threads there are even people who flat out admit that they come to /a/ for specific threads like Jojo generals.
>>144333333
Don't mind me, just posting in a dying thread.
>>144333340
>Have you ever been to or interacted with any other anime community other than /a/?
Yes, and it sucks way beyond anything on /a/.
>Also, you think having naruto threads will create this magical magnetic property that will attract people who usually don't come here for some reason? Do these people have a sixth sense tht tells them when Naruto threads are active on the internet somewhere?
No, you're trivializing. It's not that they get attracted by Naruto threads existing, it's that they come here naturally Naruto threads or no Naruto threads. And they are often the ones creating such threads, because it's one of the few shows they have watched and thus are able to discuss. The point is to, as discussed previously in this thread, put up a barrier for these new users so they don't feel welcome by being unhospitable to them.
>>144328171
>>144329361
>pol has grown from having 2-3x the posts of smaller boards to 10x the posts
That explains why the quality of posting is going down on those boards. Hopefully the tumor finally gets cut off before it reaches 4+4chan's terminal cancer levels where you can't post an opposing view on any other board without the thread getting derailed by butthurt /pol/acks.
>>144325155
I can't remember but I think he talked about/watched GoT and chitchatted about it or something of that nature.
>>144333648
He made a sticky on /tv/ for GoT and posted in it a few times. He also tweeted something like "come discuss GoT on /tv/".
>>144333340
>>144333476
You're acting like newfags aren't constantly clicking on the board for the first time and looking to see what we have to say about they're favorite anime.
By having something that appeals to them, that constant trickle begins to pool up until we end up with an unsightly stain of a general.
>>144331207
>but how is normie a normalfag word?
I think that it's because norps that come here use it in an "ironic" fashion, like those people who go outside with cartels with anime grils in MAGA hats, for example
>>144333056
>having general = /a/ likes
Most of /a/ simply ignores that general because it's purely tumblr
>>144333401
Or maybe the people who post in Naruto threads are regular /a/nons who enjoy a lot of shit and Naruto just happens to be one of them and now you are depriving them of having their shit threads because it might possibly somehow at some point attract a hypothetical non-specific amount of unwanted people, and YOUR shit threads just won't.
>>144333489
What's wrong with that. As long as they don't go out of their threads and don't polute yours what's it to you?
>>144333520
>Yes, and it sucks way beyond anything on /a/.
That's not the point. You are lying to yourself if you don't think harems and waifubait shos don't attract their fair share of normalfags.
>No, you're trivializing. It's not that they get attracted by Naruto threads existing, it's that they come here naturally Naruto threads or no Naruto threads.

I don't buy this for a second. Sure, they may come here once in a while and see those threads and become curious but that doesn't last long. This board (And 4chan in general) isn't exactly super friendly to outsiders, and it's really easy to spot them usually.

>>144333823

Because they will leak out and they will pollute. This isn't /vg/ where everyone just stays inside their designated circlejerking thread.
>That's not the point. You are lying to yourself if you don't think harems and waifubait shos don't attract their fair share of normalfags.
True, they do attract their own share of retards. But it's considerably lesser since the reach of those shows are insignificant compared to Naruto. Everyone and their brother has watched Naruto and are thus potential newfags looking to post on /a/.
>>144333796
Sure, but I just used normie because it's shorter than the full normalfag, so yeah.
Anyway, is every single thing used on 4chan destined to be reclaimed and ran into the ground by the mainstream? If so, which board(s) are the ones leaking all this?
>>144333823
>don't pollute yours
You're right, as long as you don't intend to talk about Berserk, Jojo, Madoka and bunch of other shows with /a/.
>>144333910
Why is this concept hard to grasp for you? 4chan has millions of posters. Is it so hard to believe that /b/tards looking at other boards for the first time show up often?

Again, I just think the people who post on Naruto threads on 4chan are people from 4chan who happen to like Naruto. To be honest most of the Naruto threads I've been to weren't even from /a/, they were from /v/, and even there it wasn't a ttal shitfest. Just mostly.
I think a lot of the people who idealize legacy-4chan forget the massive amount of worthless meme-crapflooding that used to take place here.

But /b/ will ALWAYS eventually migrate to other boards regardless of what threads you decide to ban. I guess my point is let nature take its' course.
