I worry that he's losing interest, which means he might sell 4chan. He hasn't been posting as much lately. For a while he was really pretty involved in the community and you could tell he was making an effort.

Now all he's doing is making trial boards and adding cute header messages like "You anon might like this" and stuff. Which I guess is still more than moot was doing for his last couple years.

Too many new boards, though. We don't need that much.

moot had to go through the great accel spam and box spam crisis

as well as all the newfaggotry project chanology brought here.

Hiro hasn't had a challenge as of yet.
>>
>>136434587
This is a fairly good point actually. Hiro hasn't had to put up with much. I wonder how he'll handle something like that.
>>
>>136434587
Hiro had a minor challenge pretty early on, actually. Do you remember the shooter who posted a threat in /r9k/? Hiro actually became a deputy of Oregon, in his words. Which of course in fluent English means something like he was working with law enforcement.
>>
>>136434760

Do you think they gave him one of the little badges they give to kids? Do you think he puts it on when he reports things to the police?

It was a good concept. The bigger problem is that Western artists are fucking awful. I'm friends with an artist and he avoids that community like the plague. It was bound to fail because of the type of people that it would bring in.

To nips even 3D are loli, and the people asking for it fucked up explaining what they wanted. Hiro thinks we want /pedo/.
I think they just remove loli and shota from Rule 3, not like /d/ or /h/ will have a fit if people post loli.
>>
>>136435129
What does that post have to do with reddit?
>>
>>136435197

>>
>>136435143
Given the amount of normalfags that post in the porn boards, I'd be surprised if they didn't throw a fit. Doing what you said sounds like the more reasonable option for me as well, here's no need to make a whole new board for that.
As for SFW talk about lolis and loli manga, that should remain on /a/, unlike what certain few mods think.
>>

agreed, but really they can get the fuck over it. at least /d/ considering it is an alternative hentai board how can they complain about loli?
>>
>>136435297
You baselessly accuse my post to smell of reddit, whatever that may mean. So I ask you what you mean by that and you've got nothing other than the baseless accusation that I'm new.
That's buzzwords.
So, do you have anything else?
>>
>>136435143
>not like /d/ or /h/ will have a fit if people post loli.

This is the solution. Loli doesn't belong on /b/, it belongs on /d/.
>>
>>136435324
Part of it complained when the western shit fucked off to /aco/, so who knows. The people who primarily browse our porn boards are strange.
>>
>>136435324
>>136435240
desu normalfags give much less of a shit about loli than you might expect. /b/ is normalfag central and the loli threads there do fairly well.

Mixed in with the rest of the porn /d/ and /h/ would hardly notice a little loli.

Very few people browsing 4chan are oldfags, this website has changed a lot since its conception but I still like it/have nothing better to do.

Honestly, a lot of people posting here wouldn't like old 4chan posters, they were very very into their memes and injokes, even compared to now.

People who have been here a good while, even just 8 years ago was the hotel habbo attack and we were much different back then and even then that was the mid-way point between old and modern 4chan I think, more new really.

Just check out the old 4chan archives to see what I mean, there is a very noticeably different culture seen within them compared to now.

If any of you came here after 2004, you're newfags to somebody. If you came here after 2006, you're a double newfag to quite a few anons. If you came here after 2008, you're literal cancer. Etc, etc.

Furthermore, if you took a moment to look back on the "epic" culture of old, you'll notice how godawful it was in retrospect. Certainly "epic" at the time, but it's long been co-opted and so we've moved on. The images we post have changed, the jokes we tell have changed, the way we talk has changed, how we identify those who do not belong has change, and so on. All of it will continue to change.

I don't like the thought of anyone born after 2000 posting on here any more than you do, but it's life. There was probably a time when anons shuddered at the idea of anyone born after 1990 posting on 4chan, or online in general for that matter.

The World will change, but 4chan and Anons will endure.

Excuse me? /co/ ruined itself by being a breeding ground for the cancer of western "fandom"-ism. moot wanted generals to be banned entirely, wanted to end RP and fanfiction, and tried to do his best to quarantine you know damn well what.

The reason why every board besides /a/ hates moot is because every board besides /a/ is unnecessary and merely exists as a way to supplement /a/.

I certainly like and frequent a lot of other boards and do not believe /a/ is all the site should ever be, but if 4chan were ever reduced to being only /a/ and /b/ once more, the site would be shaken but not broken. However, remove /a/ and/or /b/, and suddenly everything about what 4chan would become would be so contrary to its original purpose and founding culture that it would no longer be the 4chan it was previously.

If what I have said has made you mad or you're about to type up some response about /a/ elitism, well you've just proven my point. moot liked /a/ because we were what he originally envisioned 4chan to be. Maybe his interest in anime waned and he matured over time, but every time he shitposted here, he was doing what he created 4chan to do.

If you wonder why moot did not like /co/, /tg/, or /v/ in the same way he liked /a/, or why /co/, /tg/, or /v/ did not like moot the way /a/ does; the simple answer is that /a/ is the only one that is made up of people who belong on 4chan and the rest are just newfag cancer who should go back to their bulletin forums.

Once again, all boards that ruined themselves. You cannot blame moot for people posting generals and quest threads that were banned within 30 minutes over and over again for months until the mod staff gave into public demand and said "well, if that's what people want, let them have it".

>>136448300
There was a sadpanda thread with 500 posts yesterday. What are you on about?

If you think /c/, /e/, /h/, /d/, or that new abomination /aco/ are for discussion, you miss the point of those boards entirely. They're for imagedumps, not discussion. You can talk a little, but the board is so people can share images with each other first and foremost. Almost as if this place is an "imageboard" or something.

However, /d/ is currently a mess and has been for some time. But that's the fault of a certain moderator, not moot himself.

>>136448400
It was always shit. ALWAYS.
>>
>>136448275
>muh elitism
You are deluded.
The reason why these places were ruined was because moot couldn't properly manage the boards with his life.

While /a/ is the special snowflake board where it was moderated nicely thoughout it's existence, other boards either have shitty moderation or virtually no moderation.

Maybe in /a/, if you told someone to fuck off, they would because the mods delete said threads.

Meanwhile in other boards, you tell someone to fuck off, they don't because the thread reaches 500 posts without the mods cleaning up at all.

Other boards never had the privilege of getting good moderation like Kinomod, etc.

You can't dump half of hentai related images even on a hentai board. Guro\loli\furry etc. 4chan is awful for discussing and sharing hentai because of that retarded rule.

I don't mind a little blog here and there, because honestly, sometimes it's relevant enough to discussion to be justifiable, and even when it's not, we have a long history of blogging cropping up -like the shit that always goes on in imouto threads. I guess it's hard to draw a precise line.

I agree that there's been some mysterious improvement in quality very recently and I can't tell if it's residual good spirit from the holidays, the beginning of a new season, or an indication that the dark cloud hanging over this board for the past 3 years is finally starting to clear.
>>
>>136448582
>/a/'s to blame partially, though. You fuckers dumped your quest threads on us
What you have to understand about people bringing up anime outside of /a/ is that they're typically the people we don't want. That's why they bring it up there instead of here. They probably tried to pull their shit here and got shit on by everyone so they ran away crying to a board with enough shitty posters to accept them.
>>

>>136448589
/b/ is the P-trap of 4chan. It exists to attract all of the shit on the rest of the internet and keep it from going somewhere important.

I really don't know why you'd ever go on /b/ to begin with. What topic could there be that is not covered by some other board? Even the simple act of shitposting can be far better fulfilled on [s4s] than /b/. /b/ is only for people who are dumb enough or new enough (not that you are either of those) to believe /b/ is worth browsing.

And even if there was some moment in time when /b/ had "the right kind of shit", how exactly could we possibly return to such a period? /b/'s raison d'etre is that it has very limited rules compared to the rest of the site and absolutely no topic. Would you suggest that /b/ gets more rules to improve quality? How exactly could we prevent normalfags from posting their shit?

I mean, we can't exactly stop anyone from posting unless they're violating a rule.

Speaking of...

Because it's LITERALLY the only RED (NSFW) board that allows every kind of porn? Fuckwit. That's the problem. Hiro\moot are both retarded until they fix it.
>>
>>136448805
/b/ used to be kind of like the gateway of 4chan, as in by lurking for some time in there you got enough experience to notice the other boards, and then after lurking for some time on them you had a basis for how this place works. I don't ever want to touch that place again but I doubt it's still like that, and since lurking culture is dead you get people who act like they own the place when it's their first day all the time everywhere and nobody bats an eye to them most of the time. It's depressing.
As to the other post you quoted, I agree with that anon but I wish furry shit remained banned (either the current way or enforced by mods) just out of humor, like that time with /fur/. Not that such a thing would ever happen again given the existence of /trash/ now.
>>
>>136448934
From what I understand /b/ was historically a filter. It attracted outsiders and if they were disgusted they'd leave, but if they could handle it they'd eventually branch out to another board after going through the /b/ initiation.
That doesn't apply anymore because /b/ is normalfag central and won't scare anyone away anymore. It also doesn't attract anyone anymore so really it fails on all fronts.

At a point in time, I think this was correct. I certainly went through this. I didn't come straight to /a/. /b/ sort of got you used to memes and imageboard culture in general.

I haven't been on /b/ in forever, but my occasional glances make it seem like it's not what it used to be. Maybe I'm just seeing it through the eyes of someone who has browsed other boards for a long time, but it seems very different.

Yeah, what a great board. They're free to stay there and post their shit, but if you think that's something profound or noteworthy, I pity you.

>>136448959
Again, much better ways to do it somewhere else. And I do agree that the porn boards are a mess and certain individuals need to be told that the board isn't their personal porn folder.

>>136449096
Oh? Do enlighten us, because from my experience >>136449006 and >>136449011 are both spot on.

I can quite freely post whatever I please on 4chan right now without ever needing to go on /b/. If your argument is "but we get to post lot's of porn there", then so fucking what? Pornography dumping is not the end all be all of 4chan. If your argument is some sort of Hunter S. Thompson "there was madness in any direction, any hour" bullshit, then kindly go back to 2008 where such ideological masturbation belongs.

The fact is that /b/'s quality has always depended on the people who post there, just like any other board, and guess what? The people who post there are awful normalfags and if the board is shit then /b/tards only have themselves to blame. You go there. You stay in that pile of shit and contribute to it. Go somewhere else.

>resorts to memes

Oh yeah, we're the ones trying to fit in.

/b/ is an ideal that never actually existed. To try to continue to propagate that ideal is to not only to prove yourself to be what you claim others are, or worse yet are a relic of a very sad chapter in our site's history.

I used to believe in the whole /b/ Anonymous with a capital A culture shit. Thank God I grew out of it.

The fact is it doesn't really matter if this poster here >>136449406 joined in 2013 or this poster over here >>136449115 joined yesterday or >>136448872 joined in 2003 on day 1. What does matter is that /b/ is a completely failed experiment and its ideology has been proven wrong time and time again.

Now I'd love to have a discussion with you about /b/'s history and current quality, but in order to do that I kinda require for some arguments to be made on the other side of things. Which none yet exist, other than /b/ accepts any non-illegal content which includes a wide variety of porn. I'm sure you have an argument, but it's not well represented with "you're just new" or "you don't get /b/".

There's nothing for me to "get" about /b/ because there's nothing on /b/ that interests me. It's like saying I don't "get" /g/ because I don't understand computers. So what?

However, unlike /g/ or /k/ or /ck/ or any other interest board I don't take an interest in, /b/ is an empty canvas people have made a habit of throwing shit on. All day, every day. Without stop. There's nothing about /b/ worth browsing, no discussion worth having. And the problem with /b/ isn't the empty canvas, it's the shit being thrown at it.

I'd rather talk to /a/ or /his/ or /tg/.

I disagree. There's been the first manga in a while that actually got notice in a while, Helck. Despite not being all that interested myself, it sort of blew up. Before that Dungeon Meshi, but translations are thin now. Lots of manga don't get adaptations and all the mangafags move around quietly, but there's lots of them still around. And without the mangafags, that's just asking for /a/ to turn into a shitpile. Lots of the animeonlyfags think that
>mangafox
Is some sort of meme that only newfags do because somehow streaming is better when it's manga, when it's probably worse if you're reading on mangafox. They also don't get that all these reader sites are full of underage retards, which is also part of the reason people have done and will always do it.

I think that came from complaints from some people that mods were way too eager to hand out bans for low quality threads. I don't understand /trash/'s purpose either, but I have noticed that I have not been banned for a while. I expect some irony to follow after making that statement, but usually I'd be banned every 3 months or so for some minor violation. But it's been going on nine months and I'm starting to get worried that the bar got dropped lower. Lord knows my posting quality hasn't improved.

Depends on whether you have 20 bucks to spend once a year on being able to avoid something.

I sometimes forget that there is or ever was a captcha. It's street signs now, right? Or food? I think google's advertising via captcha now. Or slowly moving towards it. "Pick out the McDonalds Big Mac" type stuff.

But again, whether 20 bucks is worth it depends on the anon. I consider it to be an honest investment, but you might consider it a scam.

Isn't that the point? 4chan isn't meant to be a static thing, that's why threads die after they reach the bump limit and general threads are such cancer. Sure, there are a few ideas that endure, but constant change is at the very core of the site's structure and culture.

It's useful if you are an avid shitposter.
You can think of it as buying BD's to support though. You don't even need to activate it.
I prefer having the captcha on because it forces having a second thought before posting.
>>
>>136451286
I hate it because even the newfags know about dead posts. Before it used to require knowledge and/or 4chan-X which no one really uses much anymore.

Surely that's not the case. The inline extension and 2 day archive aren't enough to replace the functionality of it. Everyone has to still be using some fork of it, right?

I use adblock, so I justify the pass as my way of supporting the site.

Speaking of worrying about /a/, has anyone else noticed how threads are getting bumped off the board really quickly today? They usually take around one hour to die without replies, or up to 2 at this time, but most of them are dying in 30 minutes or less right now.
One hour is perfect, tell people to stop making new threads. I'm scared, I don't want /a/ to become a fast board.
>>
>>136451286
>>136451320
The archive system was yet another thing that moot resisted but people wanted badly enough that the admins just let them have their way.

Pretty much every board was already archived off site anyway.

Also, I'm pretty sure 4chan extensions are commonplace. Maybe not universal, but nothing is these days. Some people even have some crazy virtual waifu setups. One screenshot I saw reminded me of a Myspace profile. Weird shit, but I guess that's what happens when you make something completely customizable.

Although, it is sad that good extensions like 4chanX don't get talked about much. We just kinda get so use to them until we start thinking ours is the default experience. Imagine not being able to have a custom board navigation on the top bar? Or not being able to filter or read deleted posts? I could never go back.
>>
>>136447642
Use a better catalog.
>>
I miss the /a/-specific terminology that people would constantly ask about. Just recently there would be images trying to explain the concept of moe, but we haven't had anything new like that in a while.

Hell, we even abandoned NTR for cuck. It's like we're losing board culture to site culture at the same time we're losing site culture to internet culture and internet culture is becoming normalfag bullshit.

I wish GAR wasn't dead, both as a word and in /a/-content.

You know we're the 5th fastest board on the site, right?
>>
>>136451433
I would definitely agree with catalog, though the site wasn't completely fractured with pages. It made way for generals and/or individuals to find their specific threads and block out everything else. The community has become too disjointed.

A lot of people disagree and feel it improved the site in many ways but I personally feel that was a major part of the issue. Generals as a whole, especially for series that are no longer airing or rarely receiving translations/chapter releases. I would almost say it was effective in reducing the chaotic posting for popular airing shows (which was a lot of fun anyways) but after KlK and a few others, I'm not so sure about that.

>>136451610
Wasn't it 3rd? Or has that slowed down?
>>
>>136451620

5th. Top 5 is

>/b/
>/pol/
>/v/
>/vg/
>/a/
>>
>>136451620
We've slowed down since the /v/, /b/, /a/ leading trio.
I want to say we're slower than /pol/ and one of the /v/ splits. /vg/ maybe.
>>
>>136451574
>we even abandoned NTR for cuck
This one thing worries me, i left /a/ for months after Naruto ended and only came back once when Moot left and suddenly things started to change.
>>
>>136451620
It hasn't slowed much. The other boards just got faster. /int/ and especially /pol/ which allegedly quadrupled in traffic looking at the stats in the last year. But that was after a drop. But being the most pro-Trump place on the internet is actually terrifying because it's starting to draw attention.
>>
>>136449467
All of the small boards I used to use have been overrun by generals and newfag circlejerking. They're just too calm to resist when things take a turn for the worse.

"We" didn't abandon anything, anyone who says cuck instead of NTR gets shat on whenever there aren't only new people around. At least as far as I've noticed.
It's your job to tell cuck posters to fuck right off as well, you can't let crossboarders get too comfortable.
>>136451610
Given that previously mentioned limit of about one hour without posts I find it hard to believe that's still the case.

/f/ is a bit too unique to ever be infiltrated. 2hu Tuesdays and Thursgays combined will keep out pretty much anyone who isn't willing to be a part of the culture.

>It's like we're losing board culture to site culture at the same time we're losing site culture to internet culture and internet culture is becoming normalfag bullshit.

Thankfully we got lucky enough to have a Jap put in as admin and one of the first things he did was to cause normies all over /pol/ to start posting kek, desu, senpai, and baka involuntarily. God that butthurt was great.

>>136451620
>>136451656
I think it's less that /a/ slowed down and more like other boards sped up. I haven't noticed /a/ being faster or slower. Just stagnant. We're all kinda waiting for the next Haruhi or Code Geass to electrify the board, but it'll never come again.

However, I know for a fact /pol/ has sped up majorly. That's where the shit normalfag memes like cuck or the black twitter shit is coming from. I like to talk politics on /pol/, but I don't like the crowd that's becoming more and more frequent on /pol/. At least there's been some pushback with "make anime great again".

>>136451755
I don't know how you could. It's no secret the ad revenue is thin and the budget barely breaks even. In order to bring in more revenue, you'd have to do something novel with the site, like streaming and getting ad revenue from that. Not that such a thing should happen, but you can't get money on banner ads alone anymore.

That's a good sign that the end is near.

Probably a bunch of people heard that and migrated. If you check the catalog you'll see that it's mostly newcomers asking stupid questions instead of people actually trying to talk with other diy-ers about projects.

Look, I don't know the official definition for "normie" or "normalfag", but I understand the /r9k/ connotations of the former. In my head, they're the same concept, one is just used alongside the angry Pepe meme.

As to why I wrote 'normie", it was just a mental slip. I wasn't paying attention. The intent behind the word had nothing to do with the /r9k/ sour grapes mentality. The problem is those individuals who make stupid remarks when they see an anime related reaction image in what they consider to be a non-anime zone. It's ridiculous, like saying we cannot have a western cartoon reaction image on /a/.

moot didn't even like the external archives. He was okay with the voting one, but he knew keeping track of every single piece of shit posted here was a waste of time and fucking retarded. I preferred it when the only things keeping old posts alive were our memories and screenshots. It helped filter things out.

>We just kinda get so use to them until we start thinking ours is the default experience
It throws me for a loop any time I go to 4chan on a new machine and get thrown into the default stuff. 4chanX + oneechan has spoiled me.

And whenever people mention obnoxious tripfags that I filtered years ago. That's probably what surprises me the most

>>136451574
What's changed is the attitude of new people in the internet in general. The concept of lurking is dead as fuck, just like forums. That's not really a fault of the younger people as much as just a natural step in the evolution of the internet. Now you have so many outlets on the internet, with more then 5 times as many people browsing them as opposed to 8-10 years ago. Everything moves much more rapidly than before and if you're not there in that moment you pretty much missed it. Thus people are not willing to lurk for months or a year before getting involved with a community because 6 months is years in internet time. It's sad, but that's just a natural step in the growth of the internet.

I hardly see "lol" anymore unless it's intended to be ironic. Same with "epic" or "lulz". When something gets co-opted, we move on to the next thing.

The other thing that happens with language change is people start preferring shorter ways to say things. Probably why whatever-fag is so versatile.

There's plenty of that cancer, sure, but I wager a third of the waifu nonsense is just bantz and anons tweaking each other's balls for the sake of baiting.

>>
>>136452651
Even shitposting is an art. The shit these days is so low effort.

>>
>>136452622
>don't fuck up the OP post
I don't know what board you're using, but posting an image of a waifu with as little text as possible, hamsterpost threads, anime tits, and other memes are mostly the threads that get 200+ posts.

Newfags come here and think "I'M JUST GONNA POST MUH WAIFU" and guess what? /a/ jumps right into that shit. Don't make this place out to be a bastion of varied discussion.
>>
>>136452689
Ronery threads used to be a nightly thing, before waifus became super popular.
>>
>>136452590
Even if the OPs aren't bad HA a big part of why /v/ is so bad is the people who post there.
I clung to that board for a long time when it was obviously on the decline, but I didn't leave until I saw someone ask, and I had no doubt that he was being completely earnest, why he would bother playing a game at a harder difficulty when he can get the same thing without the extra hassle.
That was about 3 years ago and it's when I abandoned the board for here and never looked back.
>>
>>136452636
As well as the ones by others and R/a/dio (despite having a brief return) outside of Christmas Eve and NYE. Smaller /a/ radios too. The awful anime stream threads were also removed despite people enjoying them initially. That doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort.

At least mahjong threads still survive once in a while, usually with the addition of Akagi/Saki/Ten/Tetsuya/Hero/etc. discussion. A few others from before too like SakuraFish. Koume threads are still around even after stopping for a period of time though that's a bot if I'm not mistaken. There's bits and pieces of things.
>>
>>136452672
There's a reason images like that got so popular even back in the day in the first place. Because they're easily understood and interpreted even by someone completely new. That's why newshits on the internet, normalfags, 9gag etc adopted them. Anything that's so newfag friendly is bound to become total shit very quickly.
>>
>>136452672
I never really liked those to begin with.

That's your definition of successful discussion? Most of those are junk, filled with junk. And not everyone wants to talk about stuff until autosage. Some people are happy with several back-and-forths before they move onto other stuff.

The /a/ community has gotten considerably less sentimental as time has gone by. There's still comradery, but we don't show it as easily as we used to.

These kinds of threads invite blogposting, and not always the good kind.
>>
>>136453222
But that's just how it works.
People cry that self-moderation is dead, but it's mostly because it's ineffective when all people want is replies.
>>
>>136453160
It really depends on where you are.
OP is getting a full dose of shit.
But 100 posts down, people will act amiably around each other, so long as you don't completely fail at upholding a facade of /a/utism.
>>
>>136453280
Modern self-moderation seems to be those stupid "roll for wizard" threads.
>>
>>136453280
That's why you should responding past the third response. But there is nothing wrong with the first one or two.
This attitude is literally killing self-moderation. You are demanding that certain parts of the shitposting heap are not to be moderated because that may be what they want.
