What are your fondest memories of /a/?
when this monstrosity happened like 2 days ago
Code Geass, anything before captcha, anything before these bullshit timers... Man this place has gone to shit. There's a fucking naruto thread up as we speak and no-one is fucking with it.
>>110130263
God damn, that shit was hilarious.
Kuboposting years ago.
I met my waifu on /a/ many years ago.
>>110131245
Its summer what did you expect. Most /a/nons dont even bother to go to 4chan because of all the newfags.
Madoka threads up until the hiatus.
>>110130263
What was the original?

OHB
>>110131829
This is why I love you, /a/.
This thread was fun in a horrifying sort of way.
>>110131245
Code Geass was when /a/ went to shit.
Two recent good threads.
1/2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8231C8RNjg
I used to waste so much time in r/a/dio threads.
The week of rage that fallowed episode 25 of Nagi no Asukara, and all the crazy predictions that fallowed.
Endless eight
2/2
>>110132174
That was fun, I miss r/a/dio ;_;
>>110132174
I didn't know this was made.
>>110132221
That's not even special, it's just cancerous.
>>110132174
Memories.
Death Note was bananas
>>110128734
So what do they do on the bed?
>>110128734
Every Koe no Katachi spoiler thread is gold.
>>110132519
Play chess.
>>110132519
Pomf a bit.
>>110132519
Something sordid that the devil himself would scoff at.

You just hate fun.

so glad I never participated in the autism brigades
>>110132078
>Code Geass was when /a/ went to shit.
/a/ was already that
21/12/2012 was pretty fun.
Also any time moot gets drunk and decides to take out his repressed sorrows over the failure of canvas on /a/.
>>110133214
Its been a while sense then.
>>110133130
I'm sad for you, because you lost all the fun.
>>110133214
Hmm think i could find it in the archive?
>>110131245
Because that shit is finally close to pulling the plug, anons read it just to see how bad it's gotten and basically everyone in the threads wants to fuck the rabbit MILF goddess.
End of the world and Naruto takeover was amusing
>>110131245
>gone to shit
The Little witch academia kickstarted thread was really fun
The new year party nights are always fun too
>>110133346
http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/76802582/#76804051
I think this is the one that became the sticky. Also moot or someone else added Kom Susser Tod from EoE as /a/'s background music.
My threads, comfy times were had...
Something that happened starting with the words "jibun" something all in caps lock.
>>110132174
Many good UNTZ were had.
If a mod tried to ban loli again, I wonder if /a/ would flip it's shit like last time. Or have we really become normal at this point.
>>110132174
Friday nights with kuma-kun were some good times. It was never the same after he left, but I hated to see it go. It was a friday night staple of /a/ for awhile.
>>110133510
>SA-SUKE IS REALLY COOL
Everything in this entire image is just the icing on the cake.
>>110133881
Whatever happened to him?
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Endless Eight.
Summer 2009 was great.
These threads had me dying.
>>110133956
Last I heard he went to nipland to study. That was like 3 years ago though, so I have no idea what he's doing now.
I love it when this happens.
>>110132221
>lots of replies
>omg epic win so pure!!!
No.
I miss Lanced Jack.
The last episode of penguindrum.
and this
Getting to spend my time with you is my fondest memory /a/
When rideline got released and the mods made a sticky about it, great day.
>>110134062
Back to your 3x3 you tripturd.
>>110134158
There isn't one up though friend. Please make one
>>110133950
Wow, that was a year ago?
Jesus time fly's fast.

that day some mod said he'd save /a/clearly he has forgotten us
I wish I could find the "mating habits of magical girls" thread with the gifs of madoka and homura rubbing cheeks. That was classic.
Skyping with 6 random /a/nons for 7 hours back in 2009. Everyone was really cool and I'd love to do it again.
Yes there were a couple femanons but no, no one was on camera.
/a/-related wiuld have to be Geass Sundays or opd Strike Witches generals.
You guys can hold on to what this place holds precious, right?
I wanted to make a new single board entirely devoted to what I believed embodied /a/ and moderate it like a hawk once everyone was absolutely sick of all the filthy little normalfaggots that won't fuck off, but seeing that I can't get a job right now, that's not in the immediate future. You must remain strong.

Man, that was a fun night.

>>110134427I've met my best friends on /a/. At the Madoka movies. Now we meet up and watch anime together
>>110128734
2 Things:
-When Gurren Lagann was Airing
-When Code Geass season 2 is Airing
When I didn't have to type these fucking captchas.
I'm still mad at that faggot moot after all of those years.
This.

>>110134988
It's just temporary.
>>110134967
Truly the golden age of /a/
>>110134062Suck my dick bear
The eternal thread or whatever it was called.
Gurren Lagann. The weekly live watch thread followed by the raw thread followed by the bullet-speed sub .ass release. That was the greatest couple of months I've ever had on /a/.
>>110133950
>>where's your 3x3 moot?
>I didn't have enough Naruto pictures to make it
>>110133496
>in the threads wants to fuck the rabbit MILF goddess.
Imagine how great the series would've been if she were the bad guy for the last five or so years.
>>110133970
Don't forget Umineko.
Everyday is a fond memory of /a/.
I've been here for 5 years now. I can't leave.
New Year's Molester Man thread.
>>110135479
Speaking of New Year; remember when the first volume of Watamote came out and everyone bought the shit out of it because the cover said something about 4chan?
That sure was a great night...though I think it happened on January.

This fucking thread...
I hope we have more things like this happen this year.
Anyone have a picture of when OP called Bobo shit, and the entire thread was just anons shitting on him?
>>110133950
God damn, I remember that nurutu shit.
painful stuff
>>110136006
He was my favorite tripfag.
That day moot changed everyone's names to Taiga and Lanced Jack on /a/ was also very fun.
>>110135924
Wow that was a horrible response compared to usual.Night.
>>110136154Yeah. I was about to head to bed anyways, and happened to see you.I'll dream of you sucking my dick
>>110133950
How the fuck did I manage to miss all of this happening? How long did it go on for?
Pie threads on Another. First or maybe second anime I saw with /a/
>>110136213
I'll dream of the same when I head to bed.
>>110136218
A day or two.
It was a dark time.
>>110132902
;_;
>>110136025
I hope I remember to fucking get involved this year
i guess i'll post what i have of these
does anyone have 2012 and 2013?
Detergent and Magma was only like 4 years ago
>>110136311
>>110136311
2009 really was the best year.
>>110136443
I haven't been on here long enough
>>110136311
I entirely forgot that Endless Eight, Lanced Jack/Taiga, and the Heart all happened in the same year
Holy shit 2009 was busy
>>110136311
Was that when Toradora faggotry was raging?
>>110136537
Do you have ones for the next two years?
>>110136093
Ah I remember that guy, it was sometime early this year right? He was a super pleb.
>>110128734
The vague memory of having good memories and a good time.
I've actually forgotten much of my early days, which give me the biggest feelings of fun times. I guess it's just age and time getting to me, so please don't ruin what ever biased memory I have of my early days.
Not unique to /a/, but who remembers the blackout?
That one day a couple of years back when someone found a glitch in the spoiler feature which allowed you to spoiler all text in a thread, until someone ended the spoiler.
>>110137528
Wasn't that something like 6 months ago?
>>110137550
Unless it happened again, I swear it was in 2012
I could be going mad, though
>>110132065
>This thread was fun in a horrifying sort of way.
>>110136560
Code Geass Sundays. Every Saturday I was doing yard work I'd be thinking about that week's upcoming episode & the shitstorm that was surely to follow on /a/.
I still remember a thread about people complaining about there being a city called Dallas in the Code Geass universe & the eventual Debbie Does Dallas references with Geass characters.
Hanasaku Iroha Sundays were nice too.
I miss Corn Fapper, what happened to him? ;_;
His adventures about molesting lolis were some of the best things I read here.
>>110137734
Post evidence
Bromont's threads were what brought me to /a/. They were a lot of fun.
I remember that whoever complained about them would be ridiculed and told to get out, or mostly ignored. Good times.
this thread:
>>46898770
>>110137550
>>110137588
Just checked foolz
This happened at least twice. once in January 2014 and in December 2012
>>110137773
Oh shit man I don't have any at hand, I remember one involving him, his cousin and how he when to fap in front of her while she was sleeping and trying not to wake her up and her friends.
One time he was doing a dried semen donut.
IIRC he was a teacher and of course he was surrounded by adolescent girls.
>>110136025
I live with my parents, so no /ss/ for meyet.
>>110138053
>he was a teacher and of course he was surrounded by adolescent girls
>>110138053
....
sounds like the usual anon activity
is it bad that such depravity no longer suprises or squicks me?
>>110134924
I'm jelly. I was too shy to talk to anyone.
Accel spam.
I'd probably say it was the first thread I made here after lurking for a couple of weeks and it ended up getting 200 replies or so. I had no idea what I was doing and was still learning how the humor worked so there's that nostalgia of clueless success.I'm pretty sure it was a waifu thread of some shit
I also loved when anons didn't make this board so shit by constantly trying to fit in. Newfag used to be used as something you would say to someone who made a really embarrassing, and almost cute newcomer mistake. It wasn't even that derogatory. Now people use it because someone wanted to start an Eva thread.
>>110138139
It would be bad if it actually did.
>>110128734
Accelerator vectoring and Yamakan saving anime in PKs
Something like pic related.
I posted a lot of OC back in those days, because it actually felt worth contributing to.
>>110138225
I remember the first time I posted after lurking. I vividly recall the first reply being "faggot".
2005 was too long ago.
>>110138370
faggot
I love you guys.
>>110132158
That was nothing but samefagging, that wasn't actually good at all.
>>110138407
>>110138479
I love you too, anon-chan.
Someone did a teleportation thread that was good. Also, I like the sad threads that people mourned all the anons that might have died.
>>110132775
I feel ya. It was good stuff but he should have quit while he was ahead. That kind of thing wouldn't fly in today's /a/ and I'm kind of glad about it.
The Rebellion BD threads were honestly some of the best discussion I've experienced on /a/. Shame about what happened to them afterwards.
That washing machine character
Inferno Cop threads
>>110131577
Madoka threads during the hiatus.
>>110138879
all those downloading threads
>>110133591
At least /a/ wasn't shit in a cringeworthy way like now.
>>110128734
Anything related to Touma was really fun. Like pic related.
I remember Christmas of a certain year.
Wow, /a/ seems awfully moody today.
Please don't kill yourself or something stupid like that tonight. I want to shitpost with you guys tomorrow.
When they found Ken samas wife
>>110139102
Don't worry, anon. I don't have the balls.
When Sakurafish began.I still love it
>>110133881
It turned to shit after Kuma left. But it started being shitty even before that, when requests were put on shuffle mode instead of in the order in which they were posted in the thread.

As fun as this was, that new years attracted way way too many shitposters. If you were in those threads you would know some retards from irc posted links to r/a/dio on crunchyroll, reddit, mal etc to get the view count over 1,000 instead of enjoying the time.
>>110140161
This one is so painful
Anyone remembers the thread when we found the missing imako chapters?
>>110128734
Any sleeper hit's threads are pretty great. See: NnA, YZQ, Kawaisou, Sidonia in recent history.
>>110132221
Everyone replying to one post isn't good. E.G. "D-Frag "what is GOTS?" thread.
>>110140161
>2014
>Not moving out as soon as humanly possible from the family
Bromont threads popping up just as I'm about to go to bed.
Spending New Year's with everyone at r/a/dio.
Late night ronery threads when night time /a/ was a thing.
Anybody remember playing Transformice? That was some of the most fun I've had; haven't giggled that much in awhile.
OreImo finale for sure. I accept that the show isn't great, but I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy it and love the ride too. Plus, I was a firsthand witness to Dutch's true suffering that day. I almost miss the guy.
I've been here 4 years and every moment is a fond memory with you guys. From r-a/dio, working on the moetron VN which led to me meeting
one of my best friends, to the 4chan csup and all that autisim... and comentating in it to just the simple day to day threads of discussion, shitposting, and bullshit it is always great being here. This may be a terrible shit hole thay none of us can escape but it is our shithole only we can understand why the things here make us laugh, cry, rage, and feel. I love you f/a/ggots don't ever change.
>>110142101
We all expected the ending, more the ones who were watching the leaked stream.
Meeting a cute guy from one of the threads and having him be my online bf for a year
>>110142221
If we're watching an anime, this would be the death flag.
Christmas morning Boku no Pico live watch where we had enough anons in there to fill the place up and we all masturbating while wishing one another a merry christmas.
May not be /a/ related but, when occulus rift went to shit.
50 replies per second on those threads.

>>110142453
Drama mostly from me. Disagreement on the plot. We honestly had no idea what we were doing. Like there is actually a ton of stuff on google drive written for it. Looking back though we could have made a much better story. In the end it just fell apart. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to try again though.
When everyone was either Lanced Jack or Taiga.
>>110133970
And all the WE'VE ENTERED AN ENDLESS RECURSION OF TIME threads leading up to it in the weeks prior.
Sora no Woto SPECULAH? threads were also great.
>>110142683
Well, there is always a tomorrow, alot of things come on 4chan, like when we tried to make a waifu AI.
When occulus rift died everyone got depressed as fuck, even /v/ was hugging /mlp/ and alot of projects that alot of anons had got cancelled.
In the future something will come.
Anyway a moetron VN always will be welcome, never give up.

Coming to /a/ and seeing at least one thread on the front page being tanked by Accelerator for no discernible reason.
>>110142417
It's not the same without the responses.
So now before i go to sleep because work,
How did you found 4chan? i found it trough habbo in 2009.
>>110143594
Technically I found it in early 2007, but from the stories I heard I was too scared to actually browse 4chan but went ahead anyways. I went to /b/ during my first time and saw a bunch of gore andshut down my computer.
Then after two years I came back and realized that it wasn't as bad as I thought and that /a/ was actuallypretty cool.
>>110132174
Remember when we out spammed accel spammer?
Livestream Madoka. That was the first time I experienced the beauty of watching something online with other people.

>>110143594
I came to /b/ for like a day in 2009/10 i think. then i went to a boarding school that blocked everything. near the end of 2012 i came back and haven't left since.
>>110128734
The times before /a/jp/ split.
>>110143594
Got my own computer in 2005.
Discovered hentai.
Discovered lolicon.
Discovered renchan (anyone remember that?), which was a short lived loli and shota-oriented imageboard. Had many glorious faps.
It died, and somehow I got directed to 4chan. It was either mid-late 2005 or early 2006.
I only browsed 4chan's porn boards. Loved /h/, was introduced futa from that h-manga where the futa gets caught fucking a melon by her friend, and then they fuck.
But I never bothered to check out any of the other boards. I thought it was just a porn site, I didn't know people actually talked about things and made epic maymays here.
I left 4chan and pretty much the internet in general for a few years. Occasionally went to dumps like 7chan for porn, and ate up their rhetoric about 4chan being for babies. For some reason, I got the urge to give 4chan another shot in 2008, and the rest is history.

/a/radio threads are not allowed, do not post them. moot agreed, don't bother him about it.

Somebody posted maymays on a finnish anime forum in 2005 or 06. I came here and haven't left since.

The monthly history threads have so much good shit in them.
Back in the days when I first became a lolicon
>>110143594
Not really sure, back in 08 a friend just mentioned it to me and hopped on and liked it. Fondest memory *of* /a/ would be after /b/ got really popular and everyone was a >troll when some younger kids at a party were like "why don't you respect us man, we go on /b/, we're cool!" and I was just like that's cool but I go on /a/
>Remember you are here forever.
I still hate how this is so true, i have tried like 5 times leave 4chan and i always end coming back.Its not like i hate it, i actually enjoy it.
>>110145485
I blame avatar namefags who just post out of attentionwhoring
we should remove these people
I despise mlp but if i were to choose 1 good thing that came out if it it would be that bingo anon who made 4 namefags have an accident and made many other leave by going to their homes and scaring the shit out of them and supposedly killed 1
>>110146013

>>110143594
faggots from /b/ raided our forum that's where it all started going downhill
>>110146048some autistic guy in mlpg actually hunted down namefags and made a few of them stop posting hell he even made one disappear
>>110146010
Why would you try to leave?
/a/ was never good.
>>110145565
I thought 2chan was responsible for nice boat.
>>110146191
Depends on how you define good.

I spend literally every day here dude.
Normalfags are shitting up /a/
>people who dont understand that 2d does not equal 3d.
>people who seriously think offensive drawings can hurt people
>people who use exhentai for vanilla
The only people who say /a/ was never any different than it is now have not been here very long.
Ive been here 9 years. And I can sure as fuck tell the difference. Nobody used to get this upset over drawings, DRAWINGS.
You new kids bitch and whine about fan-service? are you kidding me?
Do you even know what fan-service is? Its service for people who are fans of the material, service for a particular demographic, if you do not like fan-service, you are not the demographic, so what right do you have to complain about it?
This board has turned into a horrible place, it wasnt always horrible though, people argued as they did these days, but it was over things which were actually debatable, not "my feelings when this animated television show from backwards nihon has no gay niggers wtf japan XD"
>>110146389
>implying your not from GAIA

I spent 5 days whiouth moving from my chair, buying a mini fridge is the best thing i ever did.

>people who use exhentai for vanilla
to be fair, my fetishes have looped back from horrible travesty to hardcore vanilla.
its starting to get worse though
>>110143594
I had heard about it on the internet a bunch, everyone always said that 4chan was the cesspit of the internet or some such shit. Curiosity finally took over and I visited here around '09. I lurked /b/ for a bit before getting bored of it, then /v/, then finally /a/ mid '10.

>>110146594
>not going on 4chan while working
>>110145485
Any sense of community we once had is long gone. Same goes for the other boards, more and more posts are people crossboarding or visiting from some other shithole instead of regular anons. Diversity is the worst thing to ever happen to this site.

Thank you /a/, you saved me and showed me the way from being a fag to becoming an even huge faggot.
Probably either watching Code Geass or TTGL with /a/. That shit was fun as all hell.
The shit with Gamecreator (glory be to his name) recently was also a blast. It was actually heartwarming and nostalgic to see everyone having that much fun and loosing their shit like that all together.

I did that once. You get shitty quotas and you need to be out like a hawk or you get fired. As in, nine hours of staring hard at seven monitors.
>>110143594
My brother was a /v/ oldfag who told me about how 4chan was a magical horrifying place for the most hateful and depraved outcasts of society back when I was more idealistic and just wanted to play Kirby Air Ride. That /b/ was completely impossible to be banned from and that /v/ was for true fans of videogames. I first lurked /u/ because back then yuri was my absolute favorite thing ever as much as I try to suppress the warm and fuzzies even now because I just don't like how good and soothing they feel. /u/ seemed like a colorful place, and I thought I'd become a part of it as soon as I was 18 and write cute stories like the board seemed to embrace But something changed. It wasn't all happy or playful like I remembered. Maybe that was a good thing. /vp/ was the first board I lurked because I really loved Pokemon. I don't remember why I first came to /a/ to be honest, but something about it hooked me and to this day I find it nearly impossible to stop browsing for anything less than eating, going to the bathroom, or sleeping. I started watching more anime and reading more manga after completely stopping watching TV. I began developing fetishes I never thought lay dormant waiting to be awakened. I grew to deeply love the eccentric anons who used Japanese animation and cute girls to fill the emptiness of their lives. And I grew to completely hate this world and once again embrace my childish desire for power and the destruction of those that rot not only this world, but now even fiction. I began to descend even further into my own delusions and lust. Now all that truly matters is that insane, possibly unreachable goal and protecting this place at all costs. I hate the normalfaggots who sully this place. I want to kill them, to completely erase them and even myself last if necessary to protect my beloved /a/ and all its wonderful anons. I have to do something. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS REALITY. I WILL NOT STAND FOR ANY OF THIS FUCKING SHIT. I WILL DESTROY THEM.

I have a backup of my old HDD using a RAID made out 16GB, its only 14GB , and the heavier files were games and LIGHT HD.MP4 anime.

>>110148827
>>110148845
Always follow the rules!
>>110148746
The last time we had some decent OC come through was from these things, and then we had a ton of people shitting on them after only 2 or 3 days. KLK in general actually generated the most OC I've seen from /a/ in a good long time.
>>110148931
I used to but then i found out theat the same idiots who enforce the rule are also the ones who break them
>>110148931
>Nudity allowed as long as it's not porn

>>110148931
Has anyone here ever been banned for shitposting? I only got banned for posting something that looked like CP in the thumbnail but was actually a baby holding on to a thumb.
The dream is still dead!
>>110148991
See but OC creation nowadays happens in large spurts instead of all the time.
You posted a good example, but there are others like H/a/lloween edits of the one trick or treat comic.
>>110149069
Haremshit is a perfectly valid phrase. Don't lump it in with that other shit.
All these nice memories. Why can't /a/ be like this anymore?
>>110149110
One could say I don't like harems and/or stay the fuck away from the thread in the first place.
>>110149114
In actuality a lot of these anons have probably died.
>>110149149
You can't be certain. At least with tripfags, once they've stopped posting they've either died or gotten bored of 4chan as a whole.

>>110149065

>>110149142

>>110149141
harems are shit, harems have always been shit, harems will always be shit
>>110149149
Not dead. Just grew up and moved on.
>>110149222
Is that what it's all about? Growing up, maturing from 4chan?
>>110149108
I think that's mostly due to /a/'s extremely short attention span and the fact that the board moves at lightning speed now.
I really wish /a/ would get a board split to slow things down, like adding a board for shows that are still airing and then leaving all the other animus and general mango discussion to /a/. /a/ would probably turn back into being slightly more 2D/random again if that were to happen, which would be a great thing, but I guess it's impossible to predict what would happen if we got split again.

They got bored of the community and/or have found another community to be apart of. I wouldn't call it maturing though, just moving on to something new/different.

I'm never gonna grow up. My paycheck will go towards groceries, Yugioh cards, internet and the creation of my S/a/nctuary, where all /a/nons looking for a home can finally reunite and control their paradise.
>>110149252
Splitting /a/ wouldn't work, the people who post won't change. The fact of the matter is that 4chan is gaining notoriety by the day and anime is becoming more and more popular every season. This increases the population of posters and the ratio of good–shitposters shifts to the latter as the volume increases.

Not really.

>>110143594
I used to browse a fuckton of the le meme generator shit sites and did some searching and found out about /b/. Of course, me being the fucktard I was then, I was a scared cunt and looked away at the first sight of porn. And then eventually I came back.

>>110149308
>>110149398
Check the foolz statistics. Post rate has been declining for a full year now.
>>110147871
If that happened today, half of /a/ would defend the mod.
>>110149308
Overall site traffic has been steadily going down, but that barely matters for boards like /a/ or /v/ that have such a huge amount of daily users.
I just post a picture if I want people to actually read my post. It always works.
>>110149357
I think it would work in the sense that the board would be /a lot/ less cluttered by seasonal stuff, and I'm almost positive we'd get a lost of old /a/nons that don't want to keep up with currently airing stuff to come back and post, since there's definitely a demand for a mango board and a retro animu board, and splitting off currently airing shows would be a happy compromise there, since the older posters would feel less molested by the 10000 daily threads about new stuff and all the shitposting that brings.
>>110149434

that actually sounds really nice, I only tend to pick up maybe 1 or 2 shows each season and they almost never get threads anyway.
>>110149456
>don't want to keep up with currently airing stuff
I think there is a lot of people who wait for shit to completely air, then download the whole cour and watch it as they like. This includes myself, so I ignore any currently-airing threads, but there are still some threads I can find to lurk in. I use the catalog view so I'm not sure if reducing the amount of users would be beneficial with the amount of threads that can be up.

2007
Was looking for animated porn
4chan knew a lot about anime porn
Pie threads were the most fun I ever had on /a/
>>110148788
I think the whole idea of Shitposting is killing /a/. Not the shitposting itself, since shitposting is completely subjective and doesn't really exists. I mean, there is such a thing as low-quality posting, but these days everyone labels everything they don't like as shitposting, and there's always a good amount of people who don't like any given thing, so in the end nobody can enjoy anything here anymore, because apparently absolutely anything and everything "Doesn't belong in /a/."

So everyone just stopped saging? I actually use it more than ever.
I just miss how something was always happening on a meta level. Things like Saimoe when it actually mattered. The board is still fine for anime discussion but the meta level is gone.

It's a little bit of everything. You can't be comfortable having fun like you used too. The community's changed.
Back then, you could do silly shit because it was /a/nons doing silly shit, and we were all self-aware and it was good fun. Now, with normals, crossboarders, and /v/, fun shit becomes a beacon for the shitposting. So /a/ becomes more and more embittered and defensive, and so fun shit becomes less and less. The community becomes more fragmented and broken, etc etc. Before we were all in one another's comfort, we knew that we could relate and despite all the shitflinging we were still some of the closest people in the world. Now, not so much.
I honestly find it harder and harder to relate to the board at large, and yet this is the only home I know. I can't imagine another. Doesn't mean it still isn't sad to see elitism die out, Naruto threads become a daily occurrence, and retards argue for the inclusion of rec threads and tumblr.
I honestly don't know what can be done at this point. /a/ as we know it is dying.

The worst part is you could see the decline of it very blatantly. People just stopped caring, or at least the ones that did left.

>>110149764
SaiGAR was pretty fun for the one year it didn't get proxied to death
The Moe Battles were fun and unchained a supposed proxy wars in the polls. Unluckily the mods, closed the last thread with the final battle for unknown reasons.

There really should be /mang/. Nothin' more fun than posting about your manga with your mangs, mane.

Back in '04 Adult Swim put mustaches on all the characters as an April Fools joke. Some guy posted pics on /a/ and linked it to the forum I visited a lot those days.
In the decade since /a/ has brought me great joy, and humor, and wonder, and pedophilia.
Especially pedophilia.

I remember all the old Naruto threads generating a lot of funny OC though, which is basically all I ever want from a thread on 4chan. Bleach too, but I don't think that was followed as closely.
One Piece never did any harm either.
>>110149584
The only bad thing about /a/ are those who bandwagon against board culture, probably because they think "BOARD CULTURE == /v/," and think this place should be a super serious on-topic anime and manga discussion forum.
I do remember that long ago, both the moderation and the userbase were a bit more relaxed when it came to the rules. It's what made this place different.
>>110149926
I enjoyed the Kubo/aizen thing.
>>110149940
They're just new.
Still, you could argue /a/'s strictness and bitchiness over things other boards find irrelevant, like rec threads, spoonfeeding, elitism, and what not are parts of board culture. And those things need preserving.

The community has divided more heavily which I consider a good thing. If you post in a thread about a specific topic you can generally expect that everyone else in that thread is interested in it. You dont see a lot of people new to the series or who just dont enjoy it and it ends up reducing shitposting compared to how it used to be.

I found out from going on the internet and hearing people talk about the ebin anonymous leegun and all the maymays back in 2009. I eventually got curious and went on the fabled /b/. Turns out it wasn't what people hyped it up to be since all they do is post porn. I wasn't really interested in anything until I saw there was a /toy/ board since I was into Legos. Still didn't visit 4chan on a regular basis until I got into anime and wanted a place for discussion. Now I spend more time here than on my actual hobbies. Thanks guys I hate you all.

The problem is that what is cancer or shitposting for you might be fun for others.
I honestly think we should just stop complaining about posts and threads as long as they follow Global Rule 6, that is, it's ok as long as we don't post like if we were on Facebook.
Ignore shit you don't like, and post the things you like instead.

Around 2005, I came here after discovering Arfenhouse.
Probably watching colour wars with /a/ each week. Its the only show I should have dropped but kept watching til the end because of the threads
>>110150055
I liked rec threads back in the day since they'd just turn into "talk about your favorite anime with people that are really enthusiastic about the shows they like".
They served as a good catch-all thread for subjects that otherwise couldn't sustain their own threads.
>>110150098
I liked Naruto when it got super stupid and all the threads were just making fun of it and making silly edits of the terrible art and retarded characters. I think those were the last threads on /a/ I really had fun in until our shitposter brigades realized they existed and exterminated them, then I left /a/ for a good 3 years or so.

Still, though, there are some basic principles the board has always had, not posting rec threads, not being retarded, not spoonfeeding, lurk moar, and general elitism. It's seeing those get pushed to the side that pisses me off.

Yotsuba°C asspain in "K-ON is shit" threads.
People don't know how to deal with bad posters.
I don't bother with rec threads anymore because there's always people in them showing their anger at OP and explaining to them in detail why is it that what they're doing is wrong, or worse yet, helping them.
I believe that those who rebel against /a/'s status quo, intentionally (like those who try to shape /a/ for themselves, or those who do it for trolling) or unintentionally (like those who didn't lurk), should be ridiculed until they leave. It totally works on the Jay, although they have their own share of problems.

It's hard to do so when you're surrounded by cancer that berates you. It's like /a/'s usual elitism, singling out the newfag, except it's in reverse and they're singling out the old posters for "trying to fit in"

>>110147217
By who? A million different fags made them.
>>110150564
The only way to 'fix' /a/ would be to find a way to decrease the amount of people that post here, which is pretty much impossible.
Basically you have a few options:
1) Stay the course and just let things continue as they are.
2) Make a 2D/random board to ideally give people to have fun, while /a/ remains unchanged.
3) Make a board for currently airing shows to decrease the overwhelming amount of seasonal threads that clog up the board all year long, which would decrease /a/'s size and speed while also freeing up space for things that are more than, "Whatever's airing". Hope a slower board leads to better overall quality and more fun/OC
>>110150717

>>110150657

I think /s4s/ was a reaction to that, where we can cathartically engage in funposting.
>>110150634
I don't fucking give a shit. Those trash don't belong and I'm going to tell it right to their face it is not apart of this place and it will never be no matter what. I'll bait those trash into shitposting and get them banned.

>>110150839

>>110150869
mods don't apply
They're offered the position
>>110150799
Fragmenting a shitty community sounds fine to me, especially when we'd be fragmenting off the part I don't like.
Splitting off currently airing shows would be fine when people got used to it, and /a/'s home base would be stronger for it.
I mean, I don't really like breaking up boards, but in this case I don't think /a/ will ever get any better anyway, and most of the cancer attaches itself to things that are currently airing, so there's no real loss there.
>>110150777
>>110150875
They don't care about minor shit. For the past few months, they've been seriously ass-pained about global 5. Doesn't matter if it's censored, if it's from anime and whatnot.
>>110150875
Don't forget : >I miss Gatchaman
>>110150900
But then you won't be able to discuss currently airing anime either. It'll just be a mess. The anons who want to defend old /a/ would be split across boards, and our community, our greatest strength, would be broken.
>>110150839
good luck with that while fart commander is still in charge
>>110150931
It's really one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't", situations, I feel like.
Leaving things as they are clearly leaves a lot to be desired with no real solution available, but making a drastic change to try and better it could have disastrous consequences and break the already fragile balance of the board.
>>110150740
OC is fine, I personally fire up photoshop all the time and see that a lot of people do it as well. The people who claim there is no OC anymore probably see any OC and dismiss it as "cancer" or "shitposting."
Also, I believe there's nothing wrong with seasonal anime, and there's not much to talk about besides that anyways.
I do agree in that we need a board split though. Maybe a board for heavily moderated and on-topic anime discussion. I'm sure that would please at least half the userbase, who would happily migrate to a board free of this "cancerous board culture."
Or maybe an /a?/.
>>110151043
>Also, I believe there's nothing wrong with seasonal anime, and there's not much to talk about besides that anyways.

I remember the 4chan sound version of this. I must have watched it like 5 times.
>>110151043
Moot kicked around the idea of turning /jp/ into a 2D/random style board last time I saw him post there. I think that would please a lot of the people that just wanna take it easy but still keep it moderately annie-may themed.
I think when people complain about NO OC EVER FUCK /a/, it's because the board moves so impossibly fast now that it's hard to even see any OC being made in the first place, and I rarely see stuff being reposted for long here unless it really makes waves.
>>110150828
I'm not a person. I'm a pure asshole who reviles in bullying oversensitive faggots and abandoned their decency long ago.
Its finally over.
Keep up the good work,friends!
I have overly fond memories of /b/ in 06, moved to /a/ half way through Geass. Different internet landscape back then, I guess coming off that time period and being 15 at the time made everything stick and feel more fun than it 'really was'. Selective memory and all that jazz has really fucked up my perception of time and what things were like years ago.
Either way I can't bring myself to leave and still long to go back to 03-08' when I knew what was going on and there wasn't an infinite number of websites and forums I needed to kept track of.
I just want to go back.
On this subject you can't tolerate faggots who won't shut the fuck up about what they think is "wrong". This especially goes for incest. If those faggots won't learn to tolerate something they have no real argument against, they're going to get shown the fucking door by me personally.

I miss the weird as fuck side of 4chan, maybe the crowd grew up (or I did) and I just don't find what /b/ produced after 08' to be funny anymore.
At least back then i thought some of the stuff the site churned out was great and hilarious and I will always remember it for that. There's always some left over wit that floats around, but not a frequently.

/an/ /pol/ /ck/ [s4s] and to a much lesser extent /tv/, all have a pretty strong streak of the old 4chan spirit if you stop and really look at the boards.

I started at/mlp/as a complete newfag and I was rather enjoying my stay there for about a year, later I came to my senses and after a little of shitposting thereThere really were no mods there back then, I never got banned.I migrated to /tg/, /co/, /vp/ and /x/, and after experimenting with other boards I finally settled here./tg/ might me more polite, but this board is the most entertaining one by far. You're a very fun crowd of people and I sincerely hope that we'll get to post together for years to come.Crab is still the best girl.
>>110151653
Welcome, newfriend. You don't get banned for shitposting here. The only bans on /a/ are for NSFW and complaining about moderation.

I personally believe this would be the final blow to /a/ and this kind of mentality is one of the worst things we have these days, I think what was nice about old /a/ is how it had a sense of unity and anything posted affected the board as a whole but now it seems everyone want to be independent and have a board of his own, no one wants to interact with each other and prefer to shut themselves in generals if not demanding a whole board subreddit style just for one specific topiv.
Also seasonal shows is what's keeping /a/ alive and one of the reasons that it didn't fall into /b/ or /v/'s level, since there's always new shows coming there is new things talk about and the fact that we get a new episode each week gives series a chance of long term discussion and preserve the freshness of this place while if we made an /ar/ board or something like that it'll be repetitive as fuck and you won't be able to have any long term discussions since you'll make one thread for the whole series which is already finished so their be no predictions and even lesser chance of OC and after a couple of weeks it'll all morph into generals and buctm /ag/ instead.

Does /tg/ still have nazi mods/janitors?
>>110151700
Its all the catalogues fault.
>>110151718
Don't kid yourself, newfag. Most of us had been using NEET before the new shit changes and are still using it now.
>>110151700
These are really just all symptoms of how vastly overcrowded 4chan is, though.
>>110151744
>Don't kid yourself, newfag.
What a perfect thread to bring up that little piece of brilliance. Good job.
>>110151682
That's not true, I once got too carried away in a thread here and got banned for two 2 days.
Old habits die hard, as it seems.
>>110151718
Catalog is such a shitty feature.

This thread is moving so fast there is still a third of it left for me to go through. So maybe the speed really is the issue? Not that there is an obvious fix for it.
>>110151476
"Stop sexualizing the X" is just a joke.
However those who tell people what to do should get out.
>>110151705
Let's start with saying that at this point /tg/ hardly needs mods and janitors, so it's hard to tell, but it seems to be quite a peaceful land
>>110151700
I know you're going to crucify me for saying this, but I think Generals are good. We can't have a sense of unity on the board as a whole anymore, because the userbase is just too big, but inside each general there is a little /a/ where everyone knows what's going on, how to post and how not to post, those who complain about their customs are ridiculed, everyone enjoys themselves and everything just works.
>>110151976
>generals are good
>SnK
>Jojo
>>110151995
Well, I haven't been to those. I bet they're just having fun in their own way though.
Besides, those who think SnK attracts cancerous people should be happy that it stays on a single general.
>>110151824
The thread isn't that fast. You just joined late.
>>110151864
>"Stop sexualizing the X" is just a joke.
I wish it was a joke. A lot of people take it too seriously.
>>110151976
I'm not really against generals per se but the whole "let's make a general and a board for every single topic so we don't have to deal with other peoples shit" mentality.
We should interact with each other more instead of jailing ourselves in specific threads.
>>110152092
Aye, it's not the general I hate, so much as this .
ded
>>110152092
I agree, but from what I've seen, a lot of people stay in generals precisely because the rest of /a/ is falling apart. There was a period in which I refused to keep the catalog/front page open because each time I refreshed it, it made me depressed.
>>110128734
Watching CG and CG R2 together through shitty keyhole streams.
We need to be more offensive, /a/.
We need to stop tolerating shit, we need to cure the sickness.
This is really sad, it's like living with a terminal illness. There's nothing you can do but stick with it day in, day out, hoping it'll get better but knowing that ultimately it will eat away at you and you will die.
I miss the old days, I really do. The saddest part is I can't fucking leave. I've tried to leave before, but I always find myself drifting back, hopeful that the glory days will return.

I new a Mormon kid back in 2007, then one day I met his older brother that was a meth head.
Really hit it off, then he showed me the flash board and then ruined my life.
Thanks John, ya dick.
>>110149781
>>110149759
I sage but very rarely. No point when the thread willl get scrapped just as fast ignoring it
>>110151700
Even then its still a High degree of shitposting.
KLK threads for example.
Throughout the day You got one for each main girl. Something about Inumata's pants, Gama BARA fucking Mako into oblivion or being to scared to, some shit about Rags, and one or two Nui threads because fags that don't use the catalog, possibly dupes of the main girls for the same reason.
They were relatively self contained for parts of the days but you had all this non-joking attacking of peoples preferences in characters purely to entice shit for no fucking reason.
And then on the rare occasions when people didn't reply to it they just spam the shit out of it trying to make it 404
Oh and lets not forget the people that used any reaction image in another thread got chewed the fuck out.
Really hard to tell if sarcasm or newfag.
>>110152039
Maybe so, though it's prolly b/c 4chanx and that weird ass quoting feature. But once I hit 200 it took about 20 mins for it to drop.
>>110150828
>>110152232
People these days can't take an insult or a conflicting opinion. They'll call you a shitposter and tell you that you're ruining their thread, instead of happily arguing back.
I find it sad.
>>110152529
It's a sorry state of affairs.
I really don't enjoy being here all that much anymore, there was a time where I'd happily participate in any thread. Nowadays I just look at the front page and get this heavy feeling over me.
>>110152422
Fuck
>attacking people for liking a character in that character's thread
Earlier this year there was a thread that was something of an /a/non brofest. Some shit about how all we each needed was a hug and then someone posted that fucking comic about the old fucker going back to his computer and reliving his past on here via the same images that have been posted throughout.
THen there was that thread that fot on the topic of meat and someone posted pic related. I need to start capping more threads.
>>110152640
I like me a medium rare myself.
Still alive, /a/ seems a bit slow today doesn't it?
