Can you repeat the question?
>>540758
Can you faggots just stop with this crap already?
Obviously you're all just trying so hard to be as different as possible from that site because you go there and don't like it.
If you want to waste your time exposing yourself to it then that's your choice but quit brining your baggage back here. Nobody fucking cares if reddit has something that we later decide to do too. I don't like reddit and I never go there, but that doesn't mean I have to try and be as different from them as possible, because I'm not a tryhard hipster.
/a/ has manga right in the title. 4chan isn't reddit, it's user bases is smaller and when there is a board that serves an interest related enough to its primary topic that it doesn't generally cause issue having threads devoted to the topic there is no reason to create a new board to cover the related topic exclusively, it just needlessly fragments the user base and causes a disruption of the existing board culture. As the mods start trying to enforce the rules and keep the content of the two boards exclusive to each other we end up being subjected to months of endless bitching from both sides causing more trouble than there ever was to begin with when the interests coexisted on a single board.
Therw is another chan that tried to imitate the reddit model and allow boards for every possible interest and sub topic and you can all see how that turned out.
>>541010
I think there is healthy medium. There's just so many more anime threads than manga threads.
>>541012
Then make more manga threads, if people want more manga discussion on the already existing anime and manga board those that feel that way should create it.
>>541014
Where is threshold at which one topic is too dominating?
>>541017
In my opinion that's only really possible on really fast boards where less popular threads get bumped of very quickly preventing any possible discussion of the smaller interests. If the subject is present on the board and interest in the topic is just so spare that there are only the occasional thread but the threads still get enough posts to not 404 making a new board to cater to a small niche seems pointless to me and only serves to create a dead board and alienate existing posters. That sort of fragmention is what happened to the other chan I mentioned, though to be fair the boards there being user created, often dedudant copies of one another, poorly moderated, and prone to schisms obviously plays a large role as well
>>541008
>because you go there and don't like it
Why would you go somewhere if you didn't like it? You're spot on with the rest though.
>>541017
There is none, and it's pointless to look for one. Anime and manga discussion interwine, so they will both always be relevant.
I think people aren't as overt with manga as they are with anime, since a newly released manga chapter doesn't always have enough subject matter to warrant a thread.
>>541032
I don't think other chan is comparable.
/a/ is fast enough that it makes it difficult to discuss less popular manga since it'll get bumped off board before interested anons can see it. Unless you hang around bumping it while you wait.
>>541037
>Why would you go somewhere if you didn't like it?
Stockholm syndrome.
I've been posting on 4chan for over a decade for a few hours a day on average and for the past four years have fucking hated it and tend to spend more time lurking in absolute fucking disgust at the normalfaggotry that is now the norm. Willing to bet everything I hate that there are many, many other anons in a very, very similar boat as myself.
>>541085
Sounds like a ceaselessly dull and colourless experience. I have had periods where I have been quite sick of browsing as well. Since we're both fellow anons in shackles, let me give a few suggestions if you will. I don't know you but you should try venturing out to new boards and threads you don't regularly visit. It can be refreshing to learn trivial things and get new perspectives on general affairs.
I'm not telling you to change your view point because you are absolutely right that normalfaggotry is rampant, but you should understand that while it's persistent it's not a momentous presence. At least that's what I think.
If you truly despise normalfags then you could shift your focus to creating more original content, some which could be antithetical in idea to normality. There's also lots of unheard of stuff from Japan so posting some relatable stuff from futaba can work.
>>541037
>There is none
If 100% of threads were about anime then I think that would be past threshold.
>>541536
In a given moment? I suppose if Japan terminated the production of manga and you let a century pass by it could happen. It would be completely justified though, since we probably would have new alternatives to porn and there would be nothing left to discuss, but I do doubt it.
>>541008
No. You don't understand.
You are allowed to go to BOTH /a/ AND /r/manga.
You don't need a /manga/ on 4chan becaune /r/manga already exists.
Don't you get it?
>>541778
But I want to discuss manga on /a/.
>>541781
Oh, then please go right ahead. I thought you wanted a board where you discuss ONLY manga. I misunderstood.
>>541139
>Sounds like a ceaselessly dull and colourless experience
Clinical depression in a nutshell.
>>541785
>I thought you wanted a board where you discuss ONLY manga
That would be one of the best things for 4chan at the moment.
>>541787
Then go to /r/Manga. Or 8gag's manga board. Or make your own chan and if people really like it then they'll all leave 4chan to join your website which would be way better and people will definitely agree with you on how the website should be run.
>>541785
Anime and random topic threads push it off.
>>541817
Oh, so you want to talk about manga on /a/ without having to do it on /a/ then.
Paradox. Sorry. You can't.
>>541968
I want to talk about manga on 4chan.
>>541983
Okay. Then post on /a/.
>"I want to talk about manga on 4chan and then not allow anybody else to talk about anything else on 4chan"
You can't.
>>541984

Honestly, /mga/ should have existed since 4chans creation. /a/ moves way too fast anyway and is always just filled with "what is popular now".
I don't see why /v/ has been split into 4 different boards yet /a/ is still only /a/
>>542238
>/a/ moves way too fast anyway and is always just filled with "what is popular now".
Yes.
>>542238
Dammit moot.
>>542238
It would not have been called /mga/.
Also, /a/ is not particularly fast compared to /v/. That's why. People really exaggerate /a/'s speed.../v/ meanwhile could definitely use another board or two.
>>540752
You already have it

>>542612
TOGASHIII!!!
/a/ is Anime and Manga for a reason. The last thing we need is more crossboard rivalry between the Japanese culture boards.
If you think there's not enough manga discussion on /a/, solicit that discussion by starting your own threads. Nothing is stopping you from doing that .
>>542628
I do. In my dream there is manga board with speed like /his/.
>>541817
No, they don't you fucking newfag.
>>542636
>newfag
>>542628
Manga threads move at a slower pace, and so they don't survive on /a/. There's an audience to discuss manga series beyond the most popular ones but they can't gather unless the threads are moving slower and last longer. As it is only series big enough to form a general survive on /a/.
HIRO
I would like a manga board as well.
Why? While it would be amazing to get SnK and popular Jumpshit out of /a/, the board would be slow as shit and only those threads would get any activity. Random manga always gets enough discussion on /a/, if your thread died it's because nobody cares about this amazing manga that came out 10 years ago which everyone has already read and discussed to death already.
>>542238
>/a/ moves way too fast anyway
Living for 1-2 hours without any replies is too fast? /a/ is pretty slow for 4chan's current standards, and I'm grateful for that.
>>545309
>the board would be slow as shit and only those threads would get any activity
Why? If the board was slow it would allow other threads to get activity. Why is a board being slow bad?
>Living for 1-2 hours without any replies is too fast?
Not him but I'd prefer slower. You're not going to catch everybody who would be interested in a manga thread in 1-2 hours.
It would be good.
>>542238
>I don't see why /v/ has been split into 4 different boards yet /a/ is still only /a/
No one wanted /v/ to be split and /a/ isn't split because its userbase refuses to let it to happen because its a fucking retarded idea. People who suggest board splits are outright new to the website and have no idea how it functions. Manga belongs on /a/ with anime. The two industry are basically one the same and belong together. You can't have a board with one without the other always coming into play and containment boards on 4chan do not exist.
>/a/ moves way too fast anyway
It takes at-least 1 hour for a thread to 404. I'm not sure what weird world you are living in. There is always manga threads on 4chan and they generally last a while. This is from someone who reads a lot of series that get very small threads on /a/. Even though the threads are generally max 30 people, they will regularly last a few hours to an entire day.
Hiro has clearly recognised board splits are a bad idea anyway, which is good.
>>546989
>if someone disagrees with me they're new!
Some anons are so stuck in their ways.
>>546999
You have to be new to want to split fucking boards.
>>547000
But /v/ and /vg/ were split by someone who wasn't new.
>>547003
/vg/ was made because moot was being a lazy fuck who didn't want to bother doing what he wanted to do and ban the stupid fucking things. /vg/ wasn't a split either, it was a 'containment board' for generals, which was fucking retarded.
>>542238
>I don't see why /v/ has been split into 4 different boards yet /a/ is still only /a/
Because /a/ is a much better board than /v/.
>>547003
And it was the biggest mistake in the history of /v/. Anyone who doesn't understand that is a retard to say the least. I'm sorry.
>>547000
Why are you so resistant to change?
>>547355
Why do you believe that all change is good?
>>547370
I don't but you provided no argument other than splitting is inherently bad.
>>547355
Why do you believe that all change is good and that because its change it must be done? Why do you think splitting long established community's because you don't like this minor thing x is alright?
Provide a argument that doesn't boil down to changing things for the sake of it. It isn't an argument and it is really annoying to keep seeing. You may as well upvotes and downvotes just for the sake of change considering /qa/ loves change because its change.
>>547817
The traffic on /a/ is heavily weighted towards anime and non-manga topics, this is detrimental to manga discussion on /a/.
>>547846
That isn't an argument and clearly shows you don't even use manga threads on /a/. /a/ is Anime and Manga, which side it leans more to means nothing. The board is for both for multiple reasons. They belong together on the same board and can NOT be split.
>>547848
>That isn't an argument
Yes it is, do you not know what argument means?
>/a/ is Anime and Manga, which side it leans more to means nothing
What a dumb statement, if a board has two topics and one dominates too much it hurts the other topic. If /example/ is for topics A & B and 99% of threads are about A there's an issue.
>They belong together on the same board and can NOT be split.
Why?
>>547849
>frisking
Post disregarded.
> if a board has two topics and one dominates too much it hurts the other topic.
No it doesn't, lurk the fuck moar and read the thread.
>>547852
You're the one who can't provide an argument beyond "change is bad!".
How can you claim a board being 99% about one topic and not the other is not an issue? What about 99.9%?
If discussion of topic A is significantly more popular it will increase board speed while pushing off discussion of topic B. Not sure why this is hard to understand.
I guess we should just go back to having only one board /b/ (Anime/Random)? Who cares if random topics push anime discussion off the board it doesn't matter according to you.
>>547853
There is no need for an argument when people already gave shit in this thread that proves you wrong AND that you don't even fucking use /a/. There are manga threads every single fucking day and they last fucking hours, somtimes days, even unpopular shit. Lurk the fuck moar and stop trying to split a perfectly ok community because you don't like that people talk about anime.
>>547855
>>547856
Getting a little hot under the collar eh?
Still haven't provided an argument beyond "hur dur read thread" and "lurk moar you don't use /a/!". Too bad I do use /a/.
>There are manga threads every single fucking day and they last fucking hours, somtimes days, even unpopular shit
Unpopular manga threads do not last that long if at all anon, maybe once in a blue moon. Sorry but 24/7 jump and OTP threads don't count.
>a perfectly ok community
I loathe /a/nons like yourself who can't take any criticism of board. It's not some perfect community.
>>547846
>>547849
I do not understand you. Do you think anime and manga are two independent artforms that both just happen to be Japanese? A big chunk of shows are adaptions of manga so naturally the manga will be talked about and even support the discussion of a show, even if there was no mention of it in the OP. Do you even realize this point?
Trying to separate the two is stupid because they intertwine and the majority of people who post are interested in both, not exclusively one or the other. Being able to post about both makes you able to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Anime happens to be more appealing and can be interpreted to different degrees compared to manga, e.g. when it comes to room of ambiguity. It's also easier to manipulate and create fun content around.
>>548022
Lots of anime and manga are adapted from LNs, why aren't those on /a/?
>>548028
They are. You also missed the point of that anons post.
>>548022
The majority of anime watchers are not interested in manga beyond cursory amount.
>>548034
I cannot deny that, mostly because it would depend on what amount one would deem as regular or avid reading. I suppose the argument could turn over if the portion of /a/ that reads most heavily also watched the least and had a strong enough desire to separate. That's not the case though. I even suspect that those who read the manga most, also watch a fair amount of shows.
>>548073
I wish there was a way to allow for manga discussion on /a/ and a slower manga board, like manga textboard.
>>548076
It's not like /a/ is that fast though. Do you seriously want to wait 6 hours for a reply to a manga thread?
Here's a quick tip anon, if you want /a/ to discuss a manga, dump the latest chapter. Most /a/nons are lazy as fuck and won't read something unless it's right there on the board. Plus it'll keep the thread alive long enough for other manga readers to see it.
>>548076
>allow
The word you're looking for is "force".
There is nothing, unless some fundamental changes were done to the board.
Most people want to discuss anime so most threads will be about anime. You do however have the choice to make threads and posts about manga.
>>548076
>allow
Threads on /a/ take an hour to 404. I can't even see what you are bitching about. That is an entire hour for people to see the thread and discuss it and if people don't, either your thread is shit/boring, you picked the wrong time or no one actually wants to discuss it. This complaint is no different to people wanting an /ar/. It's pointless. Both get threads very regularly and lively ones at that. People just don't want to fucking talk about it 24/7 like certain types of autists those 2 boards will be nothing but. If you want to talk about something on 4chan, it is your job to make people interested and attempt to create the discussion. Template and x threads are not acceptable ways to generate discussion.
Also, you are looking for the /anime/ textboard there. Because, again, anime and manga are inseparable industry's. You can't have one without the other.
>>548091
An hour is too fast.
>Also, you are looking for the /anime/ textboard there. Because, again, anime and manga are inseparable industry's. You can't have one without the other.
This simply isn't true.
>>548092
>An hour is too fast.
>implying
Even if that was the case, no-ones going to have a fit if you bump it a couple of times. If you bumped it twice that's three hours to get people talking about it. And if no-one wants to, too bad. No-ones entitled to discuss your shit taste.
>>548094
You've gotten too used to the frenetic pace of modern /a/.
>>548092
>An hour is too fast.
Fucking what? How is that too fast to generate 1 new person to bump a thread? Just go to a different fucking image board if you want to wait 6 hours for a reply. There are much much much better places that are directed to what you are looking for. It will never exist on 4chan. One hour for a 404 is a very long time for 4chan. Is your main board /po/ or something? 95% of 4chan threads have always died at less than 20 posts. If yours is in that, it is just the natural state of things. Try again and actually try to generate some form of interest. Because, again, one hour is a long fucking time.
That is also very true. Manga to anime adpatations have been going on since? Fuck, I can't remember. The 60's? The industry's since then have intertwined very much together. They are incredibly closely related that if you talk about one, you WILL talk about the other. They are one the same and to have the proper scope of discussion and variety of users, you need both.
The simple fact is, manga is a very crucial part of /a/ and while it isn't as popular as anime(more like just not talked as much), the removal of it would literally be splitting the board into two. Community and content wise. On-top of that, you now have two boards that have heavy restrictions on their content and freedom of how they flow and variation. You aren't the only anon that exist, changes to 4chan should not come at the cost of your fellow anons and board splitting is one of the most destructive things you can do.
If anything we need to increase the amount of pages and have Hiro tear down the wall
>>548122
W-which wall?
>>548092
>An hour is too fast.
Go to any popular board and you'll see how that's not true at all.
There's also how during dead hours and less populated days, threads take 2 or 3 hours to get bumped off. Is that still too slow for you? Try making your manga threads on Tuesdays, for example.
>>548122
No, we don't need any more pages. The bump limit should be dropped down to 350, however.
>>548130
What would that accomplish?
>>548131
It would make the board faster and do absolutely nothing against so-called "generals".
>>548131
Kill all the retarded generals and other shit that hangs around for days.
>>548145
Indeed, it would make all those threads you call generals be posted even more often because they'd get to bump limit and page 10 faster.
>>548153
Good, it means the mods will be forced to have to listen to the fucking userbase again because the complaints with increase ton-fold and will have to take a side. Kill the generals or support the generals.
>>548154
But then a mod who's too retarded to know the difference between a general and multiple threads about a show that aired that day would show up and basically forbid anime discussion on /a/.
>>548218
Is it sad that I can see that happening
>>548218
And then the userbase beats him up and educates him like what normally happens.
>>548238
In your dreams.
