While the site has a large range of topics, and most certainly you could find a place to discuss whatever off topic material you want elsewhere on the site, in my experience it feels much better to talk about other things with people on the boards you frequent most, or your home board.
Going to other boards you are unfamiliar with to talk about something you want to can feel uncomfortable, especially if you don't know the culture around the board or what to expect. Culture varies heavily across almost every board on 4chan.
The thread would be a rolling thread dedicated to off topic on the board, for example the /g/ off topic thread, which rolls at for example 300 posts. All other board rules would have to be followed (e.g. SFW/NSFW rules).
People making off topic threads is an unavoidable "problem", however I feel that most of the time people don't make off topic threads to cause disruption, and that instead they just want to have a laugh with people on their favourite board. Every day I see off topic threads that people are happily participating in deleted for no other reason than they don't relate to the board name. In my opinion these threads are not a problem, and while the culture shift of "board about video games" to "board for anything with video games as the central topic" is much too large to consider, I feel like this off topic thread suggestion doesn't conflict too strongly with what the website is about, and will "help clean up" many of what the moderation considers a problem, while allowing the users to enjoy themselves more as well.
Please fuck off to a forum.
You are supposed to go crossboard.
And board is not a city
>that Anon who spaces their posts with unicode
why??
what are you implying ?
>>488298
I keep seeing people space their posts with unicode but why the fuck? this is some pointless narcissism
Can you provide an example?
Why the FUCK can't I delete my posts? Is it a Firefox/Opera thing?
>>488290
Are they threads or replies? A few boards don't let you delete OP's for some reason.
>>488290
>Is it a Firefox/Opera thing?
No.
Different boards have different rules as to if and when you can delete your own posts. On some boards you cannot delete your own posts. On some boards you can only delete your own posts within a certain timeframe (perhaps that is all of the boards???).
You can thank /a/.

Don't you mean /v/ and /q/?
Ban people who use Yuru Yuri images. They are the worst shitposters on this site.

BIONICLES

This thread is a load of bionicles.

Where were you when Reddit and 4chan agreed?
>>488232
>reddit and 4chan agree
>find out on twitter
This is some meta level cancer.
fuck you
>4chan is pro-Drumpf
Hell no! Do we browse the same 4chan?
If anything, 4chan is massively anti-Drumpf. He's a ridiculous racist clown.
You're probably thinking /pol/, and even they were split between Trump and Paul until the latter dropped out a couple months ago.
I've been here for about 2-3 years.
>inb4: newfag!
The site lost all its novelty for me about a year after coming here, how the fuck do some people go so long without getting tired of it all? The discussion boards are exactly like every other site except with more shitposting, so why is 4chan seen as so special?
>>488185
at least you inb4'd correctly so i don't feel the need to say it.
anyway, you're still here, at least in some capacity. why are you still here. the answer, at least for a bunch of people, is likely the same
me? i've never been able to leave this place. i don't have a job or any hobbies that take up a considerable amount of time, so even when i do try and leave this place, i just end up getting bored and comming back here a week later.
you see one amazing post once and a while that makes it worth it
What's the best way to get a 30 day ban while ensuring it's not permanent?
>>488131
become a repeat offender.
just shit post /v/ and get a couple 3days
post pr0n on /kpop/
i look at the banlist a lot and tons of 30-days get handed out for ban evasion and being underage
>an application has already been submitted from this IP address
>>488122
maybe he's STILL IN YOUR HOUSE?!?!?!
>>488122
n-not scared
>>488122
Maybe your dad secretly browses 4chan.
Either that or someone hacked into your network.

Do the mods actually pick up some sort of notification when someone spams MODS MODS MODS?

Around what time was the /b/ wordfilter that used ROODYPOO, CANDYASS and the like?
>3
Does this board really not need a sticky to filter out FAQs?
>>488110
1. Probably but nobody will ever have definitive proof of it
2. The last time was 2012. Here are the ones that were active then:
Moot = missingno
4Chan = newt gingrich
penis = PENIS
vagina = VAGINA
mods = the people’s champions
faggot = candy-ass
nigger = roody-poo
brony = jabronis
bronies = jabronis
pony = newt gingrich
ponies = steve jobs
The time before that was 2008 or 09 but my memory is fuzzy on that. Might have been around the time of chanology and boxxy...

How do I join the IRC that the mods and janitors use? I heard that its open for anyone to join
>>488090
There is no point, you can only lurk and they will kick you out eventually.
Is complaining about mods a bannable offense on /qa/?
I just got warned and I need an excuse to vent.
>>488093
Just show me how to join faggit, I already know they are like highschool clique. I just want a peak at what goes on is all
Do you have a muse /qa/?
>a walking talking piece of ass that inspires the being or some sh*t, pussy that sighs!
>>487975
Muse is the name of one of the computers on my home network. I use that one mostly only for music and windows gaming. Does that count?
>>487977
yes it does http://youtu.be/eXvBjCO19QY
>only having one muse

Where did this meme about /a/ not having any memes came from? /a/ does have a lot of memes, there is a new one almost every season in fact. They just aren't the cancerous type of memes that get spammed and forced on every board.
>>487948
>Where did this meme about /a/ not having any memes came from?
Where has anyone ever said that?
>>487950
It occasionally pops up when a thread about /a/ not being friendly explodes into shitposting.
Who /normal/ here?
>post on 4chan at and after work
>post on 4chan while waiting for cabs
>check 4chan on the can in clubs or bars
>post on 4chan on the can after sex
Been doing this for almost 9 years.
I imagine most posters are like this outside of people on /v/ /b/ and /r9k/. Am I wrong or is everyone here a virgin neet autist? A fair bit of boards on this website require a steady income/education/real life experience.
>>487933
r u me
Like you said, I think it's mostly dependent on the board. Any hobby that involves sitting in front of screen is going to have more shutins than a hobby that requires you to physically do something.
I would say though that there's probably more people still in school or neets than in jobs on this site. But that's cause it's mostly young middle to upper class people here.
>>487933
The majority of the site are just normals pretending to be shut-ins, anon. It's just that many people think that everyone else is telling the truth when they say they've been a NEET posting on 4chan for 20 years. Do you realize how many new users this place gets every single day? /b/, /v/, and /r9k/ are definitely not places only basement dwellers go either. /a/ and /jp/ are the biggest offenders there, and even then it's a tiny percentage.
Yes, I'm a normal. I've got friends, an education,...

Why are [spoiler]childhood fap threads[/spoiler] deleted from /tv/? There are usually no NSFW images, it's just nostalgia.
>>487930
It's a bunch of 35-50 year olds circlejerking about their waifus of yesteryear and what has become of them. It's pretty obvious why they get deleted.
source: I've been a willing participant before
>>487934
>It's a bunch of fags circlejerking about their "reviewers" from youtube and what has become of them
and why is that shit allowed?
Because the childhood fap thread you saw get deleted started with a picture of cartoon characters.
