Good riddance.

Go join /spa/ in the graveyard.

A little fun is nice, once in a while.

>>155390443
There's "fun" 99% of the time I'm sick of it.

/a/ can't handle leaf banter.

I missed out on this, what boards was /spa/ composed of?

>>155392553
>hating on /v/
Fuck you

>>155394044
/sp/ and /a/.

>>155394269
I thought going to either would redirect you to the combination? That's what happened when I tried to go to /m/
Never had that issue with /a/

>>155394343
/a/ was merged later than the others. /spa/ is actually still up, but you can't post, anymore.

>>155393732
>leaf banter
>being SJWs is now banter

>>155389559
It was fun, but to be honest I can now understand why /a/ doesn't have flags. It would end up being a mess.

>>155394269
More like 90% /a/ and 10% /sp/, and even that 10% was overrun by anime.

Wait I was here for the weekend but I don't remember /a/ and /sp/ being merged like the other boards?

Am I retarded and somehow missed that they were merged while browsing /a/ or what? I really don't even remember seeing any flags either though so that can't be it

>>155394918
It was last minute. /a/ and /spa/ were merged for I think 4 hours

HOLY SHIT THE BOARD ACTUALLY STILL EXISTS

PUT SP BEFORE A

>>155394977
/sp/ is always ahead of /a/.

They should bring all the joined boards back on the first Saturday & Sunday of every month. That would be fun.

>>155395061
You know what I mean, anon.

It still exists

I just opened a general there now. I see nothing but tripfags, circlejerking and other bullshit, no better than reddit. There was a time when /sp/ was good.

>>155389559

Piss off, this garbage doesn't belong here.

I mean it is a hidden board. YOu can literally go there by putting /spa/ after 4chan.org

I knew that still there's people with good taste here

>>155395514

>>155395907
It would be nice. Just keep it frozen for most of the time, then open it on occasion.

>>155389559
Flags on /a/ were great.

>>155395313
Wasn't that guy that made like a hundred page PDF about some tripfag from /sp/?

>>155396309
Yeah, one of the last high points in /sp/ history

>>155396309
Yeah, he's from there. No one has matched that sheer amount of autism yet, but a certain shitposter in /a/ is trying his best to do so.

>>155396377
Which shitposter?

That blue capcode sucks. The purple and red ones at least work with all the vanilla themes.

>>155396405
take a guess

>>155397194
Hmm. I can't think of anyone who's recording the life of an /a/ tripfag. But, then again, I don't browse any of the generals.

>>155395231
Generals are a short term solution that creates long term problems. Generals are always containment focused, meant to concentrate a rash of topic creation. But they also act as amplifiers, making something seem like it has more legs than it does. Once something stops being made, it quite enters the absolute kind of cancer stage where tripfags and shitty fetish rps proliferate due to poster stagnation.

They're sometimes necessary, just like containment boards have been necessary a handful of times in 4chan history. And even then places like /vp/ get called into question despite being more active than places like /po/. But it's very hard to judge it in the moment where it needs to enacted. /co/'s modern history is rife with generals made to "contain" a show when it's popular, only for it to have turned out to have been unnecessary and more trouble than it was worth, such that the general gets banned itself on the off seasons.

For one reason or another, /a/ seems to handle the situation better. Look at things like One Piece. Still on going, still gets bump limit threads continuously, but it's not a general nor is it enforced to be one or not. It's just that there's always at least one active thread on it. LWA is a better example: there's only continuous threads now because of the show, but no one is making it a general. It flirts with the edge of true general autism, but nothing much ever comes of it besides transitory memes. Generals add too much of a continuity between threads and the idea of a truly continuous environment. There's little difference theoretically, but it's clear "officially" being a general either results in or is a symptom of the worst excesses of obsessive posters.

it was UTV all along

>>155389559
I miss my flag already. The amount of people who got assblasted just bbecause a poster had a leaf was fantastic.

>>155395231

A good example of a bad general is the GuP one.

I miss the flags desu. It was easier to detect and ignore shitty posts based on the country of origin.

Every board should have the flags AND unique IDs.

>>155395231
Go look at a few /vg/ generals and see how many of them actually have anything to do with their topic as opposed to unrelated shitposting and drama. You could do the same thing with an /a/ general, but /vg/ has a larger sample size as an all generals board.

When you start using 4chan as a chatroom, people start behaving like people in chatrooms.

>>155397822
Yeah, I don't like to be reminded that 80% of posters here are from South America

/a/ generals don't get nearly as bad as the worst /vg/ ones.

>tfw I started a revolution in a /vg/ general by calling out some mobage playing waifufags but it had the opposite effect and drove out all of the non-cancer posters because of the titanic-levels of shitposting that ensued for weeks afterwards
I miss those days

>>155398433
You should know by now dubs man, when push comes to shove here, the shitposters win.

>>155394269
More like /a/ with flags

>>155399469
Besides just the flags, /spa/ had a much more relaxed atmosphere. A combination of shitposters staying out because they can't stand leaving their comfort zone, and the remaining people feeling less constrained to follow totalitarian "board culture" pseudo-rules because it was all just an april fool's joke, made the whole place into a fun exciting anime free-for-all.. a bit like what classic /a/ was like.
