Stop making new threads.

Kill your self right now.

(Part 2/3)

Then one day you find 4chan and wow, the combination of that older internet attitude in which they are just a bunch of random individual weirdos (rather than a single "community identity") combined with 4chan's anonymity is brilliant! This is so much fun, how did it all go so wrong? Let's pay careful attention and see if we can spot the cause.
You lurk 4chan for years and then the 1st wave of what the early users considered cancer begins to hit. Overactive notions of "culture" and "memes" that take on a life of their own as suddenly people start to behave and think like you did when you first took your journey into the past. With your enlightened view of these events you see plainly exactly what's beginning to happen, the users are beginning to defend and define what a "4chan user" is, until eventually they've unknowingly created a public identity to which they all subconsciously subscribe. Anything they don't personally want within the corpus of their own identity is something which also cannot be allowed to exist within the community at all.

You consider abandoning ship for another site, but watch as every single new resonably popular discussion site sprouts up with the exact same problem, except intentionally built right into the posting format itself! Public voting systems, "likes", "shares", and other statistics all to define what the community as a whole supposedly views as good.
You decide to turn back to 4chan and find its users frustrated at the sour environment they're beginning to create for themselves yet unable to grasp what's happening they begin to pin blame on these other sites and their users. You facepalm on your desk knowing this won't accomplish anything at all except to make the situation worse, new users who don't understand the seed of frustration begin to participate in what they can only comprehend as simple tribal minded website wars.

(Part 3/3)

But everywhere you look, left and right, all sites are exhibiting the same symptoms and making the same mistakes, funneling down toward the exact same state of the internet as you remember from before your journey.

Now you're back in 2017, a cynical "oldfag" who realizes that everyone is to blame, because we couldn't see the changes coming or that we were indeed contributors to the downfall too. It's the very posting formats themselves which are popular today that are to blame for pushing everyone toward an internet where our identities, now tied to groups and websites, must be defended, and you see that the majority of our "culture" today is literally nothing but soulless side effects of an internet community's internal struggles to define itself and its content. The politically minded among us with an affinity for campaigning over these publicly shared identities and voting systems begin to thrive.
You find yourself longing for the early days, not because it was funnier or higher quality, but because you miss the much more simple dynamic of when an internet user was just an individual who could think for himself, decide what was funny for himself, and attempts to make his "community" look bad were utterly irrelevant to him rather than something personally offensive that required retaliation.
You yearn for that sweet spot, when anonymous communities retained the individualistic mentality of early non-voting forums but before they got corrupted into public shared identities like a social media site.

And we all lived happily ever after? The end.

If you're alive then at least things can get worse!
How can you possibly call yourself a truNeet if you aren't trying to suffer as much as possible.

>>1479889
I don't know if you've ever had a conversation of this nature with another person but most "normal" people have no interest in living forever.

what a blast from the past...

>>1479652
He was active on reddit a few years ago when he still had the overchan but has since deleted his reddit account. I thought he moved to Japan at some point.

If you have a good mod team I'd say the sky is the limit, and once you get to a massive amount then the community self maintains itself.

>>1476240
You shouldn't del contributing posts...

>I have seen entire websites hold off with a smaller userbase and less posts per week than that just fine.
Are they really holding off at that point, or are those sites only surviving because the posters don't want to give up on something they used to enjoy when the post rate was higher? After spending quite a bit of time on extremely slow sites with 1 post per hour per board or less, I found that anything I could get from those boards I could also get significantly faster through either larger, lower quality sites or by simply researching whatever topic the discussion happened to be about. The only thing those small sites could possibly be good for is generating new content or information that can't easily be found elsewhere, but I really didn't see that happen.

>I'm assuming you're an admin/userbase of course
Just someone trying to find a place to stay now that this site has gone to shit and the other smaller boards I went to after this site went to shit saw post rates per board drop to 10 posts per day or went to shit as well.
