Newfag

>>149915923
it helps people who have nothing feel a little bit better about themselves

>>149915923
because most of us were young and at a point in our lives when our identity was everything. The anonymous imageboard was an outlet for us to scream into the endless void where no one would give a shit in the end, as evidenced by your stance. What it represented for many of us was a way to affirm who we were, what we stood for, and that people like you are spider experts.

>>149915756
This is exactly what I mean. I've literally been called a newfag for entering a blank line in between paragraphs, as if your choice for formatting text for increased readability was somehow an indicator of being new or from reddit.

You faggots should focus more on content and discussions rather than enforcing your bullshit elitist etiquette. Oldfags either become an hero or normal people, and newfags become the new oldfags. Such is the cycle of life, yes (>>149915907), but it's still embarrassing. The lowest of shitposting.

It's a tad alarmistic but still, there's some good reading in there about why the internet shrinked and also how it seemingly forms echo chambers.

That was actually the season I came back to /a/ and watching anime in general, thanks to Rose's eyes and Merry's vagina bones (then ended up watching Madoka too). I had moved to /jp/ after the split and for about 2 years all I watched were Strike Witches, Marimite, Princess Tutu, and Underwater Ray Romano OVAs.

Now it's been 6 more years on /a/ and finally my interest in anime has started to wane again, but I'm sure I'll never escape.

Memes are what make a chan alive. Just look at the history of 4chan for proof.

I think that has nothing to do with the era. If we were more elitist, we'd be more comfortable making OC. Instead we have to perpetually live in fear of our own OC blowing up in our faces and becoming some weird mainstream thing.

>>149917789
Back then the word meme wasn't even popular or didn't even had a meaning.

The memes that we see today on 4chan and /a/ are everyday normalfags meme that social media site such as twitter and facebook use.

All Hiro would have to do to fix shitposting is to make it so you can't post on this site from your phone. So many people simply wouldn't bother posting anymore of that was done, make it like it used to be where you had to actually get on a computer to use this place.

/jp/ never had a soul of its own. It is a piece of /a/'s soul that has been forcefully ripped out due to a stupid decision.

Also, /a/ hasn't really changed that much. People who claim that /jp/ was more "true" or "original" are likely newfags who weren't even around before /a/ and /jp/ were split.
