"Off-topic" threads in /qa/

>>1483347
The problem is that too fill the void whilst we wait for somthing meta/drama to happen

>>1483352
/qa/ is a slow board. Why wouldnt you just go browse the other boards? Why do you feel the need to fill the void on /qa/?

Nothing is stopping you from making meta threads and you can see meta threads on the catalog right now. FYI, "delete ___" or "mods are JIDF because I was banned for ___" aren't meta.
Anyway, /qa/ isn't "for" anything. It's mostly abandoned by staff and in 2015 it became a laid back meta board. In 2016 people unfortunately turned it into a complaint board (but still with nice threads here and there) and it also was cursed with /pol/ and pony spam as people here purposely instigated /pol/ into raiding the board many times. /qa/ as a community decided to try and expunge those elements and this was the result.
It also so happens that 4chan still has no nijiura board (and likely never will) so it's a good stand-in for that with the bonus of its unlisted nature keeping away a lot of riffraff. This is the only place on 4chan I still feel "at home" on. It's a not-4chan that exists on 4chan.

Finally, nothing is keeping you here. You're free to leave at any time if you don't like it.

The weeb mafia agenda to turn this board into 2D/Random conflicts with the meta posts so they go out of their way to disrupt and slide meta off the board.

Where is the live action?

/qa/ is a shitty board for eloquent but retarded people that the mods just kind of gave up on after the mlpol drama

on a side note, did you know that mlpol is still a thing?

^ based horsefucker

>>1484992
no one wants to talk about the shitty drama that place deals with, take the discussion to some other board

>I was under the impression that /qa/ is for the discussion of meta and such things.
your impression was wrong

redpill me on mlpol

Go ask them.

>>1483347

/qa/ was the general board for bitching about /pol/. /pol/ found out and punished /qa/, then other boards occupied it for a while and punished it more. /qa/ is broken now, it meddled with titans and got stomped.

Because /qa/'s user base is the best on the entire universe.

/qa/ is for frogposting

/qa/ is for 2Dposting

Agreed.

Well, you're wrong people turn it into that because there was nothing else to discuss on this board, it is actually a sfw /b/

>>1484763
no, it wasn't. If you really did like their spam you can go to their website.

I want my comfy meta board back so much...
You can tell the anime and frog spammers wern't here in the good old days, you can just tell.

>>1492735
I want too

>>1492735
Be the change you want to see.

>>1493187
I do, but they post more frequently than I can because all they have to do is pick out a random image and a copy and paste post, we literally can't win without staff involvement

>>1493195
We could add threads to the bump bot list if the problem is shitposts driving them off the board.

>>1493202
I don't know nothing about a bump bot, but it must have a very low amount of threads on it if this is the state of the board...

>>1493203
It wouldn't be polite to bump every thread on the board. What threads do you think are good?

>>1493210
Threads that encourage reasonably interesting meta discussion:

Meta threads that I don't neccesarily think are high quality or agree with:

"Staples" of the board:
>>1488873
>>1377714
>>1469820
>>1474802
>>1485623

Quite frankly you'd have to ask me this question every few days for a comprehensive list, since many meta threads are dead on arrival from the opening spam they get (either variant of the go to irc image or wayq), its a pretty effective way of shutting them down since they do it so quickly and I don't think non-discussion bumping would save them.

I didn't realise there were 2 test threads, and I didn't want to imply any bias between them

It happens sometimes. Test threads are exempt from drama.
