Generals need to be pruned.

Shit like /ak/, kantai and drawfags should be removed. Kantai is never about the anime.

Long running manga/anime should be limited to release day threads and not generals. Shit like Yu-Gi-Oh should not be up 24/7 when it rarely related to the anime. Shit like snk does not need a 24/7 general when it only updates once a month.

Most generals no longer discuss anime and would rather talk about off-topic crap.
Buyfag threads should be moved to /toy/, drawfags should be moved to /c/, /h/,/e/,/d/. /ak/ should be removed as its out of a season doesn't need 24/7 threads.

Jojo is fine for now, but once the season ends it needs to be pruned as well, changing to occasional threads instead of 24/7 generals. DJT should move somewhere else as well.

Manga doesn't need to be split to a new board, just limit manga threads so that shit like snk, OP and boku no hero don't clutter the board up. A lot of manga threads are fine on there on.

Just like we deleted all the other failed boards? No wait, we didn't. Once a board exists, it's here to stay.

/ma/ must never exist. It would kill all manga discussion from 4chan. This isn't "slippery slope"; this is factually, unarguably what will happen.

/lit/ killed literature discussion.

/vr/ killed retro video game discussion.

/ma/ will kill manga discussion.

Yes, that's accurate if there was a hungry tiger named /ma/ who was read to kill her if she was ever let out of that cage.

Manga discussion will only exist if it stays on /a/. A slow, niche board will result in 1% of the users, making it impossible to find anything with your taste.

We are not splitting /a/, and that's final.

YOU CAN'T FIND ANYONE WITH THE SAME TASTE AS YOU ON /lit/

The pool is too small for anyone to overlap. No one's read the same books, aside from a generic classic.

/ma/ will be the same way: no one will have the same tastes, because the userbase will be too small. On /a/, we have so many users that you can find people who like the same manga as you.

Manga discussion cannot thrive on /ma/. It can only exist on /a/ and /a/ alone.

No, you can't. You make threads that get five replies, then they die.

Manga needs a huge pool of users to find people with the same taste as you. We have that on /a/, and manga discussion thrives here.

On /ma/, a small number of people will all be competing with their own faggot manga threads, none of which will get any replies.

Not in any manner that actually affects discussion.

When we discuss anime and manga, 80% of the time we discuss plot and about 15% of the time we discuss art style. Plot between a manga and its anime adaptation is almost always the same, or at least similar. Art style is usually similar as well.

Probably the only threads that aren't a haven of normalfags. Two of which aren't anime and 2 others which have no discussion because its not about a singular show.

/ag/ shouldn't be created, but these threads need to be removed. All of them have made /a/ more normalfag then ever. You think those normals are just staying in there "containment" threads? They are not, they spread and infecting everything they touch. They take otherwise fun shows and devolve discussion to the most boring shit in existence.

>There's no fucking point to doing it
There's plenty of reason to do it, especially since comics and cartoons have even less overlap than anime/manga.
The reason it's not an issue on /co/ is the board balance between the two is much closer to 50/50.
/a/ is much more weighted towards anime.
2ch style is superior.

>I can't stand my preferred topics being mixed with topics that I don't like. Separate them!

This is what every single fucking board sounds like. /a/, /v/, it doesn't matter. The sheer amount of you that have no fucking grasp of what "chan culture" was, is, or should even be about disgusts me. More moderation is needed, no doubt about it. There's too much shitposting going on. But the majority of you have zero clue what the difference between shitposting and funposting is. If you don't like it, you want it gone. Do I go into LN threads? No. Do I care if they're on /a/? No. Splitting the board does nothing but add bloat and fragment any already broken community even more.

Kill yourselves, seriously. It's people like you that have made coming here and talking about fun stuff a chore, because in reality, you're the real shitposters. I'm tired of slogging through your garbage posts, even with heavy filters.

>>147506736
Before trying to ban all generals, please define what a general is. Now compare your definition with everyone else's.
Congratulations, you've just banned all discussion of any single show in particular on /a/ because at least one mod will use a different definition. People aren't allowed to make threads to discuss an episode of a show that came out the same day anymore, and if they post in an already existing thread that will count as a general so it will be banned too. Organized threads about anything are forbidden as well, so the average thread life time willdrastically be shortened.

Oh wait, but that's what you shitposters want, so you can make /ma/ and /ag/. Of fucking course you'd love to kill /a/, wouldn't you.

>>
>>147507116
Its because generals push other threads to the bottom of the board. Most other threads don't have a constant enough base to keep it alive so its harder to find threads that aren't generals. So it just creates even more of them to compete to keep their thread up.

Almost all the general topics are for either off-topic crap or entry level shonen.

>>147507252
They rot because they never get any new content so its the same stall discussion.
They invite cross-boarders/aren't liked/leak shitposters/are cancer because most are entry level shit.

>>147506894
I've been in those threads since they started on /a/ a few years ago. Back then people didn't even notice the threads. After some time though people started sperging out over us having them despite our effort to never have them up all the time and to make them relevant. Mods let them be for years so that's the answer. Besides I don't see why people are still mad over them. It's true that there isn't always a 4koma, doujin or something else going on but most of the time there is. We've also made an effort to never make it a general and to ignore spammed threads. Now that we've been here for so long and maintained this standard from the beginning I think most of /a/ are ok with it. It's a tough call sometimes like you are saying but I hope you can see it from my point of view. There are Kancolle threads on /jp/ too but they don't discuss doujins and manga, our place is here.

Posting was actually much better when it was faster. There was a better number of people who actually sincerely wanted to discuss anime rather than ironically shitpost and ruin /a/. Most of the slowdown has been genuine people leaving as the community gets shitter and shitter.

So pushing amazing threads like this down, after they haven't had any post for a hour, is a bad thing? And you talk as if generals are constantly remade every minute, when any of them (regardless of whether your definition includes currently-airing shows or not) tends to last at least one hour, excluding the hour-long lifetime after reaching bump limit, AND people are usually well-behaved enough to only make a new thread after the current one reaches page 9 or 10.

Some say it's the same autistic ledditor trying to change our way of doing things, other says it's some dumb kids who want to ban LNs, others claim it's mods/jannies themselves trying to enforce a new no-fun policy.
And there was even this guy who claimed it was Newmoot's masterplan to increase site traffic.
>>
>>147507625
They haven't had any post in hours because the moment a thread falls off front page and isn't a general the chances of it receiving another bump is near 0.

If you actually went to /a/ before generals, you would know that some of the best threads had shitty OP's. The catalog pretty much made those threads non-existent.
>>
>>147507220
>>147507543
Post counts are the same, but threads last a lot longer because there are more ones allowed to exist at the same time and the bump limit is not 250, but 500 now

There is literally nothing wrong with /djt/. I don't even go to the threads.

The threads I visit don't have this problem, but generally I'm against more moderation and rules. I favor user moderation/board culture. If users hate it that much then you should just call them a faggot/tell them to fuck off/lurk more/etc. and report them, that's how it's always been.

Not everyone is a retard who doesn't use either of the catalogs. Any thread that has enough interest will get posts as long as there's any interest in their subject because that's why the catalog exists. The catalog makes what you call generals easier to find, yes, but it also makes finding anything else easier.
Don't you fucking tell me you want to get rid of the catalog because of that as well.

Even worse, this shitty thread is still up, while all the other bait threads have been deleted by the mods.

I can kinda understand why the mods are being so skittish though.

Getting into very specific rules like this is the sure sign of a community in decay. When a culture is no longer vital in itself, it tries to remove the symptoms of its rot, but it never works. We should think of ways to have fun again that aren't contrived. I think we can individually do this by trying to be witty, talk about things we actually like and focus less on critique of ourselves.

Can never happen.
>2006-09 - Old /a/
Lots of OC, feels like a loosely held together forum, community organizes shit to do together constantly, distinct sense of board culture. Plenty of trolling and autists are muxed in, but it's all more light-hearted, fun, and generally chill than today.
>2010-12 - Old /a/ dies
4chan starts to get TOO popular, anime starts to become increasingly mainstream as a hobby, /a/'s board culture becomes markedly less elitist and also starts to focus on concentrated discussion threads
>2013-2014 - Transitional /a/
'Ironically' liking anime becomes a thing in a big way, most of old /a/'s favourite series are old enough to fall to the way side, anime industry dives even further into moe and LN/VN adaptations and thus drags in even more autistic westerners than it used to. For some reason pretty much every board has OC and community-driven events/stuff die off hugely at this point.
>2015-2016 - New /a/
Current /a/. Pretty much all old boardculture is replaced, constant pseudo-generals are the norm, elitism is gone entirely except for in ironic shitposts and sakuga threads, ironic anime fandom is at an all time high, and /a/ is pretty much irrelevant for discussion of any big series compared to the combined mess that is tumblr/4chan/twitter/discord/MAL - whereas it used to be pretty much THE go to forum for it. Common slang has also near-completely changed on a boardwide scale.

I'm actually happy with the way our rules work and always have been. The only thing I wish for is more frequent moderation by the mods.

Sure generals like JoJo is just cancer but I just hide those threads and that solves my problem. Let people have the /a/ related things they want on our board, even if you don't like the things they are talking about.

So more moderation on actual shitpost threads is the only thing I'd really like, and for mods to stop randomly deleting loli threads like they do sometimes.

The catalog does ruin things when you include generals in the mix. It only helps those that come to /a/ with a very specific topic in mind. Usually those being generals.

All the fun and OC stopped happening when generals took over because the OC would get drowned to the bottom and never seen again.

Catalog is great without generals.

Also in case you are wondering generals are off-topic or out-of season shows that are kept up 24/7 because of shitty mods babying them.

The old days are not coming back, but maybe we could create new, better days than the current ones at least. We should make it a point to make good, interesting threads, participate in them, and have the most fun in them. I don't believe so much in posting about old good shows, but more in discussing the good shows today, and the industry as a whole in depth. Those are just my ideas. Above all we need to stay upbeat.

There's no "less shitty one" in this case. We don't need any change in the rules, so trying to discuss that is pointless - especially for a board like /a/, where the rules are meant to be hidden in order to enforce lurking.

Mob Psycho 100 has people here on /a/ watching the livestreams. At least, they started doing so since three weeks for sure, because that's when I did too.
Wouldn't surprise me if Re:Zero's fanbase here on /a/ also did that.
>>
As someone who has browsed /a/ more than any other board, please don't split it. /v/ split their board and all it did was separate the legit posters of each category and increase the shitposting. The best part about keeping anime and manga on the same board is that you can end up finding stuff that you may not have expected or heard about that is similar to the show or manga you're currently reading. It happens to me all the time, at least.

I do think the general threads and waifu posting needs to be moderated a bit more though. The general threads because they quickly turn into shitposts and the waifu thread because it doesn't contribute to any meaningful discussion.

TL;DR Don't split the board and do a better job moderating all the shitposting that has been running rampant here and 4chan in general.
>>
>>147509015
It really did seem more common to me a three or so years ago, even a shitty show like Sasami-san had it in 2013. I think how quickly CR/HS stuff comes out now probably did kill it for most people like the poster earlier said. Most people aren't waiting for hours and hours for some shitty sub group to do it before watching. Rather an hour or so after the simulcast which is near enough when it airs anyway. So unless you are really hyped you aren't going to bother watching something twice in that short a period of time.
>>
>>147507956
It is definitely anime, or rather manga related as a vast majority of manga (and a good amount of anime as well) does not get translated, hence why those threads exist in the first place, newfag.
>>
>>147509138
>Apparently generals are bad because they make a new thread exactly when the old one reaches bump limit, except for how they never actually do that (unlike this faggot who wants them banned).
Have you not realised that at this point they are making new threads as part of shitposting? Read the rules and you can see that these threads have long since gone past their original purpose. This is just a shitposting general now.

Can I have a say in what rules we implement?

You are correct, those dead threads will never exist anymore. Majority have likely left at this point.

Compare the catalog today to 3 years ago. As of right now there are pretty much 0 threads for current airing shows besides the most popular ones.

So I coincide, you guys are correct /a/ is not a place for elitist or enthusiast of anime anymore. Its a place for newfags and normalfags to come, shitpost a little and then find their favorite entry level show to post about.
>>

>So I coincide, you guys are correct /a/ is not a place for elitist or enthusiast of anime anymore. Its a place for newfags and normalfags to come, shitpost a little and then find their favorite entry level show to post about.

I actually think this is true. All the sincere anime enthusiasts have mostly been driven away by a gradual degradation of posting quality. Posting on /a/ used to be so comfy back then, oh well.
>>
>>147509366
>As of right now there are pretty much 0 threads for current airing shows besides the most popular ones.
That's because exactly one show aired today: Masou Gakuen HxH, and it's rather unpopular.
For obvious reasons, namely the lack of popularity and /a/ not being as bad of a board as you think, people usually do not make threads for any less popular show outside of their airing day, much less keep necrobumping the ones they've made all week long. This allows new threads for new episodes that get new content to be made more often and for discussion to thrive, while also letting plenty of space for all kinds of miscellaneous discussions in the meanwhile.
But, of course, you wouldn't know about that because you don't care about /a/ at all so you don't pay any attention to it.

Taboo tattoo ended yesterday, it's gotten barely any threads at all. Saiki barely exist, kuromukuro gets like a thread a week.

I've seen more Muv luv threads then I have seasonal show threads. Muv luv which is basically off-topic as the anime is side material.

The reason that those shows barely have any threads is because they aren't shows that pander to normalfags. They aren't great but they are fun shows to watch and old /a/ would at least discuss them more then once a week.

Seriously, I checked the archives for taboo tattoo and it totaled to 19 post in the OP. I'm pretty sure there are more drawfag OP's per a day then there were taboo tattoo threads in weeks.
