Yeah but nah /tg/ is great, it has it's slow spots but the anonymity means the hyperautism of most games forums is avoided.

Also you can call a cunt a cunt when they need to be called a cunt.

>Sometimes, I think about posting on a different board than /tg/. Then I see this kinda shit in someone's signature
Did you mean a different forum? 4chan as a whole is a group of imageboards, and no board on 4chan allows for signatures.

>>52785113

>>52785067
>plays 40k
>says he's smart
>not smart enough to understand why people consider him a tremendous cunt

>>52785067
I can never post anywhere else. I've spent years doing various things, but I have no "internet credibility" due to my consistent anonymity over the past... 11 years. I don't want to deal with identity politics and circlejerking fags. It's like in the last 5 years everything worthwhile on the internet got reduced to a bunch of extremely autistic idiots making cliques that have nothing to do with their actual abilities or aptitudes.

I'd like to have friends, I'd like to have a community that appreciates me, but I'll just settle for consistent thankless quality posting anonymously here. I just wish those fags would stay in their containment zones so I can pretend everything is fine.

>>52785184
Sometimes I consider posting somewhere else. Somewhere a little less 'negative'. Then I see the kind of culture that those circumstances breed and I'm back here.

>>52785067
>ask about examples about the failings of an rpg
>get told anecdotes about how the rpg is good
People who feel the urge to reply to a topic without adressing the OPs point set my teeth on edge. Or people who haven't played ir read the book poating in the thread. Fucking rpg.net

>>52785084
I wish /tg/ was less tolerant of namefags though, they seem to be coming out the woodwork lately.

>>52785203
That's exactly how I feel. For example, I'm a fairly good writer, and I'm one of the staple non-autistic /edh/ posters, but I just don't want to argue with someone whose only counter argument is "look at my name and suck my dick" followed by an endless parade of parroting idiots.

I recently got a job as a middle manager in retail, and people are exactly as horrible as you think they are. They're a bunch of mindless, tribalistic idiots who only ever think about themselves. Lately I've been trying to treat people with love and compassion instead of pure unadulterated contempt, but it's incredibly hard to have faith in something that consistently proves its flaws are reality.

>>52785230
you just gotta except that any original work you post is gonna get savaged. Which is fine, if you have an iota of self-confidence.

I remember a Warhammer forum I used to frequent. A guy was sculpting his own monsters out of putty because he was too cheap to buy miniatures. Which is fine.

However, they looked like something a 5th grader made, just shapes of clay. But people were giving him 'constructive' feedback and it became this circle jerk of friendliness because they were afraid to lose a new poster on their forum or some shit.

>I should have saved that shit.

>>52785221
I literally almost never even look at the name field.
I totally missed it when a recent quad nine had a name of "check em" until someone pointed it out.
Once in a blue moon someone will post something extraordinarily faggoty and I'll go, wait... Look up up, and it's a namefag.
But that's it.

Also, there are still at least two bro tier namefags our there.

>>52785221
>lately namefags
You weren't here during the days of RAWK LOBSTAR et al, were you? Namefags have always been prevalent.

It's just more noticeable in some Generals because you see them with more regularity.

4chan in general is falling the fuck apart at the seams and /tg/ ain't an exception. While I agree fully with the sentiments in this thread, the simple fact is that this website is in its death throes.

No fucking clue where I'm going next. As has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread, most communities consist of way more "look at my name and suck my dick" than is interesting.

>>52785287
Sweet jesus I know what you mean. There's literally nothing wrong with saying something's bad, it's the only way to improve in some cases.

I find they worship lower serving members to indoctrinate them into their cult, and act like staunch jackasses about anyone with a modicum of talent because it threatens the status quo. I just have no time for that shit whatsoever, which is why I like /tg/. If you're good, and your opinion has merit, it doesn't matter if you're some skub sucking scrub who plays a geist of st. traft seamonster tribal and shitposts for 10+ hours every day. In that one brief moment you reach enlightenment and people recognize/appreciate it.

>>52785287
>you just gotta except that any original work you post is gonna get savaged. Which is fine, if you have an iota of self-confidence.
This is why I come here.
I am a better writer, debater, and artist than when I came.
And a better GM.
/tg/ has improved my approach to gaming in general.
And it did all while also incoherently cussing like a 13 year old on holiday.

Also, it's "accept" not "except"

>>52785221

I dunno. I have a soft spot for namefags on /tg/, because I remember when we had good namefags. People who improved threads, like Mr Rage, or our many content creators.

Sometimes, being able to recognize someone is useful.

>>52785230
>I recently got a job as a middle manager in retail, and people are exactly as horrible as you think they are.
Some advice:
It is my opinion that 99.9% of the human race is completely useless to me.
The only way I get through life is by treating everyone I encounter as if they are the rare exception until they conclusively prove otherwise.

>>52785362
>Sometimes, being able to recognize someone is useful.

This is literally only true if they are doing something productive-- Drawfagging, running a quest, actively building and distributing a free system/setting, etc. And the name should be taken off after that activity is done. Anything else is just attention whoring bullshit.

Given that /tg/ doesn't get shit done anymore, there's no real excuse for namefags.

>>52785337
I came to 4chan in 2014/13 (I forget) because I wanted a place I could talk to people, but I didn't need to log in and have a name and get circlejerked in an echochamber. 4chan never pulled punches and you could have both stupid arguments and intelligent conversations at the same fucking time. However, I think 4chan has become popular as of lately, and that's caused an influx of people from other sites (we all know which sites they're coming from) which don't know how to deal with the eco-system 4chan. Instead they're an invasive species that doesn't have a natural predator to keep their population under control.

>>52785337

>dat everything

>>52785380

The important thing to remember is that they are people too. Despite what the tiny glimpse of their lives you see might indicate, they have a lifetime of experience and goals and shit. What they are doing has to, on some level, make sense to them in the context of their life. Almost no one is an asshole just for the pure sake of it. If you can figure out what makes them tick, chances are good you can figure out how to coexist better for mutual gain, so long as your goals are not mutually exclusive.

Granted, thats more of a personal solution than anything else. I have autism, so any conversation where I am not constantly reminding myself to think how the other person is thinking is going to be a bad time.

I first lingered here because I used ttrpg sites just for the amusing stories and this was the only place where people didn't spend the first third of their story pointlessly describing their entire party and it's history to tell one damn anecdote.

>The only way I get through life is by treating everyone I encounter as if they are the rare exception until they conclusively prove otherwise.
That's exactly right. I guess it doesn't matter because it's anonymous, but I work for a company that does food samples and recently our company got bought out. I used to be able to go to work every day and talk to that subhuman filth with energy and enthusiasm, but lately I just can't look these assholes in the eye. They're rich, successful people who can't formulate a single sentence, criticize and bitch about free food, while also being cheap smarmy fucks. At the same time, the staff that actually works for the store are pretentious about their better paying jobs and security when I literally work twice as hard for longer shifts without break, every day.

It's just so dehumanizing and before I started trying to be nice to people, it was making me actively hate people, but they aren't all bad. Sure, lots of them are, but a few are nice and it's not fair to lump them in with the writhing horrible masses. I think that's why I like 4chan, because I can tell people like that criticism they couldn't receive in real life, and this is why I cant integrate anywhere else, because people will never understand that. It has nothing to do with being smarter than other people or thinking you're better than them, it's like the Thunderdome for ideas and rhetoric.

Fuck, if this place dies I don't know what I'm going to do. Also, is there even anywhere else I can talk about commander?

>>52785337
>falling apart at the seams

That is the best I've ever heard it described. The quality of this site has drastically declined in the last few years, but I continue to visit because it's so much worse everywhere else. Anyone know if there's some shangri-la that we can retreat to when /tg/ goes tits up?

>>52785337
I've been using since 04 or 05, and trust me, these are nothing like death throes. Yet.

>>52785416

Im of the opinion that 4chan is simply being made to sleep in the bed in made. We signed the better part of ourselves away when we decided that being contrarian was what defined us.

The ability to be contrary is useful, but if being contrary is your stated goal, regardless of context or circumstance, you're just being a screeching asshole.

It also left us wide open for festering extreme opinions to make a home here and slowly declare themselves the new site culture, which is how you end up with /pol/. After all, you have to let them be as vile as possible and shit up your thread and your board. You dont want this place to be a *hugbox*, do you?

I do wish more people knew just how freeing anonymous communication was.

There's something wonderful about being forced to take someone at their word, and know that they're forced to do the same, because there is no frame of reference or established hierarchy.

The idea that I could be having a flaming row with an anon in one thread but eagerly agreeing and collaborating them in another, simultaneously, is one of those unique phenomena that makes me willing to trawl through all the bullshit that is also a necessary side effect of anonymity.

>>52785519
There's nowhere to retreat to. This site's quality has declined drastically in the last few years because the entire fucking internet's quality has declined drastically in the last few years. Smartphones causing less content creation and consumer engagement, linking everything to your real name, native advertising/shills, and the general consolidation of typical usage cases down to an ever-dwindling number of websites have all combined to ruin us.

The bastards and normies already won.

>After all, you have to let them be as vile as possible and shit up your thread and your board. You dont want this place to be a *hugbox*, do you?
Objectively wrong. The problem with /pol/ is that some posters are actually very good at what they do, and people who define themselves in antithesis to that attitude are the first ones to fall victim to their tricks.

Just tell them to fuck off and post smug anime pictures. They'll screech like a retard for a while, but if no one engages with their retarded conversation, they'll get bored and move on to somewhere easy, like /pol/ or /sp/ or wherever. Alternatively, you can be nice and educate the lesser on effective strategies to up their game, which will completely demoralize them. It's really easy to get them to fuck off, just don't give them oceans of (you)'s for easy bait that isn't even entertaining.

>>52785455
I have a similar issue, not due to autism, but because I think backwards, like solving a maze from the inside out.
It causes me to view and present things opposite of how normal people do.
I often praise something I really like by pointing out how small and insignificant it's worst flaw is.
Which is okay when describing a system, but incredibly shitty when thanking someone for a gift.
My hugbox home life and unhelpful friends caused me to go most of my life without even realizing this.

But you are 100% right about people. I once got into a huge fight with somsone over one line on a tv show about a guy who scammed by getting injured for money.
They relentlessly defended the fictional guy we knew almost nothing about for no rational reason until I remembered that the person arguing had been injured in an accident.
They were responding emotionally to things I hadn't even acknowledged.

>>52785620

And now you're just as annoying as /pol/. Good job. 10/10. Pity /pol/ still wins by default as they've disrupted your conversation.

B) nu-/pol/ is the problem since they've been flooded with those disgusting normies who this /pol/ culture is the culture of 4chan, and that they have to push their culture onto the other boards to be welcomed. Fuck off we're full.
C) Don't fucking double space. It pisses me off and I know you come from Reddit. At least your not Tumblr, they're worse

Well gee Timmy, it seems pretty fucking obvious that there's a handful of people that all remember a better 4chan and are nostalgic as hell about it.

>>52785924
It's one of the most obvious baits I've ever seen.
There's a designated board to talk about the site.

>>52785911
Because despite all the shitposting and autism, sometimes its nice to be reminded that there's a reason we all stay here.

>>52785907
I think you're missing the point. Where are you going to get the most (you)'s? A general of course, and this is a sure fire way to get someone to leave your general and shitpost somewhere else. Who cares if some random lore building/do space marines have big penises/which chaos god matches your buttplug thread gets shitted up a bit, it's necessary. If these shitposters were met unilaterally with the same response, they would leave for greener pastures.

I know the problem is with new posters serving as easy bait, and that's more difficult to remedy, unless board culture is to be casually dismissive with obvious trolls.

>>52785911
I'm just amazed that the "evil religio"n and the "mtg players are smelly so here's a /pol/ derail" are still alive.

False. Dedicated bait threads are better.

Oh, I fucking get it. You're a general fag who doesn't give a shit about board health.

>If these shitposters were met unilaterally with the same response, they would leave for greener pastures.

>>52785940
It's not about the site, it's about /tg/ board culture. Plus sharing horror stories from other tg-related communities. Which you might qualify as meta-shit-posting but we also have 'that guy' greentext threads

>>52785964

>>52785947
Plus, you don't seem to get that two faggots smugging at each other is actually more annoying than one faggot going full /pol/. Your "surefire tactic" is also a good way to get normal posters to leave in disgust.

>>52785964
Anon, you're making a lot of generalizations. The assumption is that an obvious bait thread is ignored by a majority of the board, and while that may be optimistic, it's reasonable to assume quality posters wouldn't get involved with every single bait thread. Board health in and of itself is a nebulous concept, which was more applicable when "board culture" off topic threads were openly accepted, but at the current point in 4chan's evolution, it's incredibly inefficient to have every single magic question posted individually.

Now, none of that has to do with the central argument. If /pol/ shows up, and you want them to leave, act like a smug dismissive faggot. I don't care if it's a board-relevant troll thread, because sometimes those are good for a couple of laughs and they actually require invested effort.

Chemotherapy kills a lot of things anon. If you use it in directed moderation, it's much more reasonable. It's also significantly easier to ignore for a seasoned poster.

>>52785842
>Literally who on the first
A namefag in the CYOA threads who gets easily flustered when problems with her builds get pointed out. A small portion of posters in the threads hold a grudge against her because she messed up some magical realm roleplaying that they tried to run a while back or some shit. Also, she's female and has yet to deliver nudes, so she's automatically hated.

>Objectively wrong on the second, unless spamming cringey erp trash is improving content.
In the last year before he migrated, he was only showing up and posting in threads that either were ERP threads from the beginning, or had already been derailed into Slaaneshposting or monster girl fapbait.

>>52786048
>The assumption is that an obvious bait thread is ignored by a majority of the board, and while that may be optimistic, it's reasonable to assume quality posters wouldn't get involved with every single bait thread.

Not a reasonable assumption. How new are you?

>at the current point in 4chan's evolution, it's incredibly inefficient to have every single magic question posted individually.

Only because fucks like you want a "community" to ask the same five fucking questions to the same 10 fucking people over and over and FUCKING OVER. Generals are so fucking stagnant and useless that all of their content ACTUALLY COULD be asked individually and receive better answers, just less comfortable ones.

>Now, none of that has to do with the central argument. If /pol/ shows up, and you want them to leave, act like a smug dismissive faggot.

Except it doesn't fucking work. They sit there and play the smug faggot game with you, knowing they've already disrupted your conversation and gotten folks to leave. And then when they get bored they restart the cycle in a different thread. So it doesn't get them to leave in any fashion.

>I don't care if it's a board-relevant troll thread, because sometimes those are good for a couple of laughs and they actually require invested effort.

So you've got completely arbitrary standards. Sensible.

>Chemotherapy kills a lot of things anon. If you use it in directed moderation, it's much more reasonable. It's also significantly easier to ignore for a seasoned poster.

Poison is poison and shit is shit, mate, and you're trying to act all fuckin' noble for spewing poison and shit everywhere. Even if your tactics worked it'd be debatable whether they were worth it.

There are two key components, the smugposting, which you seem to understand, and ignoring them afterwards. If you keep conversation curt and to-the-point, it's over with quickly, instead of turning into a monolithic shit-post-athon against someone with autism.

>>52786190
And I'm outright saying that if you don't keep up the smugposting, then they'll wait five minutes and two unrelated replies, ignore you in turn, and go right back to /pol/-posting. And while they're in this waiting period, they're shitting up another thread on the same board.

Yes, I'm fucking annoyed by generals and anime girl posting. No, not everyone who thinks people like you are utter fucking scum are /pol/. Yes, you are just as fucking annoying as /pol/.

>forums that allow signatures

>>52785562
I greatly agree with you. I once spent a long time on a forum that I started going to when I was 13 or so, and predictably was an annoying shit who didn't use proper posting etiquette. I got better over time, but that tag of "this guy's an annoying shit, his word means nothing" stuck with me until I got fed up and left the site at around 18 years old or something. Here, if I make bad arguments or somesuch it doesn't haunt me forever, and the next thread I go to I'm judged on the individual posts I make there. It's very liberating, and I think it's definitely worth the trade-off of anonymity making shitposting much easier to get away with since there's no consequence to doing so unless you go too far and get banned.

>>52786260
>they are pretty comfy.

They're "comfy" because they discuss the same damn subtopics over and fucking over and there's namefags everywhere. If you want that shit, go find an ancient fucking invisionfree forum. I'd rather go on 4chan.

>>52786266
To be honest I legitimately think it's a forced meme pushed by like 5 people whose only goal is to fuck up conversations they don't like the look of.

>>52786217

Exactly, and if they're met unilaterally with the same response, they'll move to easier boards. Come on anon, I literally spelled it out for you, and now you're going on some sort of irrelevant tirade about how everyone thinks I'm scum.

I could have simply continued smug posting, and you would have continued spewing autism until you looked silly, and the next time you pulled the same sort of schtick, I'd post a screencap of the first conversation. But you're alright anon, you're just a little... passionate about the board and thus directing it at the wrong places.

There's not much namefags honestly.

Yeah, but the term "reddit spacing" doesn't seem to be that old of a term on /tg/.

http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/text/%22reddit%20spacing%22/page/3/

According to the archive, October 2016 was the first time that someone on /tg/ used the phrase. However, it's been posted almost 70 times since then.

>>52787106

"Anime Pantsu Lover #362" is not OC, it's fetid runoff from /a/ that bumps off a potentially much more on-topic TRADITIONAL GAMES thread. You may not like generals, but if they're related to a TRADITIONAL GAME they deserve a spot 10-out-of-10 times more than some weeb's overloaded sexual frustration.

Not all "OC" is good OC. Take a look at CATastrophe for example: it was born entirely because some crossposter from /a/ fell in love with some guy's art and tried to force it on /tg/ to make into a full homebrew universe. Years later, the shit is dead in the water (no pun intended) because it was always about the superficial attraction to animu catgirls in swimwear and not a cohesive world people could agree on.

I've been here for more than half that time, and while many things have objectively gotten worse, every story of the bygone glory of /tg/'s "Golden Age" sounds absolutely repellent.

There are three options:
1. Lay down and accept the future.
2. Fight for your version of what the past might have been.
3. Build a better/tg/ together.

That board has been frozen for almost two weeks because mods are still mad at /mlpol/ and went all scorched earth on the board.

I've been here since 2008 and I basically no longer can stand any non-anonymous forums, especially those where mods bring the banhammer when you call someone spouting shit a retard. I imagine without being desensitized here I'd become some easily triggered faggot.

I like the generals, for one.

I've been here since well before the Generals, and it was great if you were into 40k, because the first five pages were wall-to-wall shitposting. People started topics with DoW ork screencaps with no content but "WAAAAAAAAAGH!", or Tau getting killed with "Weeaboos get out". Even the D&D guys struggled to keep their posts from the page-10 kill-line, and without the Catalog function, anything that went past the first five pages was likely ignored. It seemed like they only way to make anything else survive a few days, you had to do one of two things: Dump entire image collections to Bump your threads in all but name, or somehow find a way to tie it in with Warhammer 40000 - usually by picking some sort of fight with a versus thread. Hugbox aside, it didn't do anything but foster an us-versus-them mentality between the D&D/40K giants and everyone else. Since the generals came about, it's reduced that rats-on-a-sinking-ship feeling. Topics can be discussed freely without sinking past page 10 oblivion. Even one-off threads without replies last for the better part of a few hours. There are still plenty of WiP threads, that guy/that gm, and drawthreads to knock anyone back into the reality of who dominates the board.
I figure getting knocked to the back of the boards is the same reason there's so much vitriol about the quest threads - Sure, they might have only been about a quarter of the board, but they were filled with everyone posting over each-other with twitter length posts in attempts to beat out the other guys, compared to the paragraph or two other anons were writing out in their respective generals. As a result, the first few pages of /tg/ were almost always the quest threads. They dominated over actual /tg/-related discussion for so long they might as well have been stickied.

Hi, I have an IQ of 151 - like you, not a self-test but a professional one. And no, I'm sincerely not trying to literally one-up you.

You're full of shit. It's nothing like everyone else being retarded. It's nothing like everyone else being slower than you. IQ is a very limited form of intelligence whose measurement is of debatable value. You're just an asshole.

People don't "take offense easily" well I mean, in general, they do, but that's irrelevant they're just offended because you're either an aspie or just an asshole who wishes he had a diagnosed excuse to be an asshole.

ND was cancerous, retarded, blogposting namefag and just because he decided to contain himself to threads that matched his interests doesn't automatically make him a saint. And even the people who posted in those threads regularly wanted him gone because all he did was be a cancerous, retarded, blogposting namefag, that replied to FUCKING EVERYONE in a thread and posted the same images over and over and fucking over again, regardless of thread or board.

>>52796113
Ironically, an actually smart person would be a lot more capable of learning what kinds of things offend and upset people and a lot more capable on acting on that knowledge.

"I'm smart therefore I'm a jerk" is TV hollywood logic. Sorry, but you're not Dr. House, Dr. Cox, Temperance Bones,Tony Stark, John Nash, Walter White, Sherlock Holmes, Shawn Spencer, Abed Nadir, Henry Higgens, or Sheldon.

You're just an asshole who also happens to be smart. In reality, those two facets are not inherently linked. Alternatively, you're sincerely incapable of telling why you're pissing people off, which means I question if you're actually smart in general, or just good at a few specific mental operations while really shit at others like an autist.

Yeah, 2006 here. 4chan was never good. It's just better than everywhere else.

Anonymity enables you to be more of an asshole and shit all over good conversation while contributing nothing and getting away with it over and over. But it also lets you communicate your ideas in a vacuum. No reputation. No identity politics. Sometimes it's not all merit though. Sometimes quality goes unappreciated. Sometimes you get shit on for no real reason. But it IS for no real reason, not just because because you're white, or black, or have tits, or play Chaotic Neutral like an asshole. It's because shitting on each other is what we do. Once you acclimate to that, it's the most honest way to hold discourse.

The flip side is once you're use to this, everything else is too alien, and you're stuck here with the other people acclimated to the shit. That's why 4chan's never really going to die. Because we can't go anywhere else. This place is us. Jew moot, nip moot, cripple moot, none of them really own this place. It's truly owned by the decade old regulars who keep coming here, who make it the community that it is, for good or ill.

I haven't browsed a "little" forum in a longass time. It's as terrible as I thought.
Sometimes while playing NationStates I see on the left some retarded thread titles and check them out. It's fairly terrible there too.

OP, your IQ can't be over 120, because anybody with one in the "gifted" or genius category knows that true geniuses start around 160 on an IQ test. In my case, my IQ was tested as 170 in the 8th grade, Now, consider that the tests have a deviation of 15 points in either direction from your given score. That means I actually at best 185, at worst 155 in 8th grade, what it is now 10 years later? I don't know, but I do know you're a fucking idiot.

An old, small and long-dead imageboard i used to know solved the problem of the front pages being cluttered by recurring topics by having a separate "general threads" page inside the board itself. Sort of like a mini-/vg/, where instead of another board entirely this mini-/vg/ was contained in a special "[0]" page that preceded the actual front page. Always thought it would be a good idea to try out on 4chan whenever people started complaining too much about generals.

/tg/ has its own flaws to be sure, but I like that I can talk about whatever here. It's also nice to be able to mention things like recasting techniques or using 3rd party models/rules without being crucified by GW diehards. Granted we have them here too but at least here I can call them a cunt like God intended.

Firstly, I enjoy /tg/ because tabletop gaming is still a fringe hobby that is resistant to the normification that infests video games and television.

Secondly, because the threads tend to stay on topic more than the rest of 4chan. Inversely, the mods aren't so anal that technically off-topic threads that can potentially produce good discussion get axed.

Thirdly, 90% of the time, most ideas that get tossed around feel the same, but every once in a while someone throws a curve ball that really gets the gears in my head grinding and that's a pretty good feeling.

Finally, the shitposting and memes aren't as bad as people like to say they are. It's far better than what you'd see on other boards.

>>52799260
I got sick of quests years ago. Even after /qst/ was made it took more than six months for it to be enforced, sometimes I saw more than 10 quest threads on /tg/ at once despite the ban.

having IQ and being Smart are two different things to me
Where smartness is having the ability to apply high IQ and to interact with other people and often just plain common sense to never post your IQ or brag about it
I am old hammer old fag who hardly plays anymore actually now use /tg/ as my gaming news feed
dip in and out of 4chan /b/ /r9k/ /s4s/
I find that /mlp/ /trash/ interesting but mostly goes over my head
like the demarkation of different board and even the threads within them
Somtimes wish the archives didnt exist and all thread were lost when they got 404d
Never got on with forums just do not care enough with especially with games if I aint playing just dont care occasionally download stuff to read but whats the point if I aint playing
Forums just cant be bothered to post enough to get know to get respected to not be slagged off for stupid question I often ask dumb questions as a test I cant be aresd to nuild respect I want to do stuff
I am a robot just find I can chill with the other derelicts on /r9k/
/tg/ is good and chill
I hate namefags and EGO trippers and put up with the shitposters as there are nuggets here to

Does anybody NOT use the Catalog with threads their interested in highlighted and sent to the front?

I mean that's how I've done it for years now, and things I'm not interested in currently are filtered. It saves me a lot of headache.

Oh my god this. Then you've got the spambots, some of which are so sophisticated that you can have an entire Eliza-like conversation with them and not learn anything, and its still more pleasant than dealing with the average internet twat. Most of the places that had decent human interaction are now just people posting position pieces that are effectively stickied and locked. It's like going to shake hands with someone and he hands you a wad of pages from his diary and walks off and the whole diary is about rick and morty

>>52785067
I used to post on DakkaDakka regularly, but I can't go back. All the passive-aggressive sniping, all the shitty fanboy-ism, and the 4chan-tier moderation just kill it for me.

>how we can make this an even better board
Kill generals. They do nothing but stifle discussion in favor of memeposting. People say they're for minor questions to be asked, but nobody pays attention to minor questions in Generals.

More moderation. Just ban and delete the blatant shitposters. Especially /pol/ shitters.

>>52785512
There are many image/text boards out there. The good side about them is that not many people use them, so they don't create a dependency, you don't have to constantly be online watching what happens next.
Moreso, less people = less retards.
What I find extremely unsettling about them is that they are massive hugboxes. It's like the userbase is desperate, they try to act as if they were the "good" side of the internet, and shittier and more popular sites are overriden with cancer and hate. Plus, they are pretentious little fucks. Nostalgic and condescending with their coevals at the point that it seems pathological.

Nope, that's the junior year disillusionment. It's typical of all 4chan users. The feelings are actually the novelty of the concept wearing off, as you see the way it's always been. I've been here 10ish years or so, had the same feelings around the time I had been here 3-4 years. I think we all do.

>>52785947
I tried more or less this exact strategy, except using sage instead of reaction images, like 7 years ago. It doesn't work, they don't get frustrated when you reaction image, that's exactly what they're hoping to get.

>>52813782
Nah, a few of us never had those colored glasses, I think. I never went through it back when I had only been here a few years. Of course, it might help that I had quite a busy time here for a few years and some run-ins with the law that kept me off of here. I can honestly say, that I have had no disillusionment with this place, it's just the same shit it's always been, sifting through the shit for the gems.

I think what really annoys me is when people who hate quests say, "There were 50% quests on /tg/, and they covered the whole front page really! What you disagree? Well, prove this thing that never happened never actually happened then!"

Sure, I'll get right on proving that negative for you, assholes.

>>52786248
I have been here for 6 years, frequenting /x/, /tg/, /vg/, /ck/ and /asp/ (prior to it getting ruined by wrestling) at varying times, and I have never seen someone attach a signature to their posts. Just tripfags and namefags which is not the same thing as a signature

I rarley see any /pol/ posts here and if they are they're usually low tier bait that you can IGNORE. Fuck off and die you sensetive ninny or cough up some evidence that it's /pol/ ruining this board and not your constant whining that they are.

Don't bother replying unless you're going to give me cold hard proof /pol/ has "ruined" the board. Or will you just opt to pretend that the image I post with this post too has any actual meaning to the argument at hand?

>>52817834
You save frogpostign pictures on 4chan to post in /tg/. That says everything that needs to be said about you to everyone who should be in /tg/.

Any mention of anything even slightly political dissolves into 200 posts of /pol/, anything even slightly SJW - on either side - dissolves into 200 posts of SJW/antiSJW ranting, and even -4 strength threads are no longer just misogyny general but SJW and /pol/ echo chambers now.

The evidence is pretty self-evident, anon, and the proof is all over the archives and 4plebs. It's not the first-post bait that ruins /tg/, it's the fact that subsequent discussion is drowned out for the sake of /pol/, SJW, and /b/-tier arguments.

I want to immolate frogposters and fuck their corpses 2bh.

Wow, mentioning something political sometimes derails threads into politics? It's almost like /tg/ has a gigantic habit of going off-topic at the slightest provocation!

She did have a cute butt.

I dunno boys.
I like this place, /tg/ is nice. At least compared to the alternatives.

The beautiful part about 4chan is that nothing you or anyone else says matters. There's no record, there's no reputations, just ideas. And ideas are upheld by their own merit, not circlejerky bullshit.

Now as we've seen with /pol/, Reddit immigrants don't get this shit. That entire board was corrupted with very not 4chan-esque behaviour. So it's not a perfect system, and it does rely on maintaining board culture. But it's a better system than elsewhere.

You could either have individualism through identity, where everything hinges on who you are, that's the Tumblr side of things. Or you can have individualism through ideas, where you express your true thoughts because you're anonymous and have no fear of repercussions. I'd choose the latter. The former has no honesty, only image, trends, circlejerking and hugboxing.

Anyways, love you /tg/. It can get pretty stupid here, but at least it's honest stupidity.

Only recently has /pol/ on /tg/ been so bad that you can't discuss /his/ without /pol/tards coming in with current events talk.

>>52819100
You're a cynical faggot.

>>52819120
Yeah, that's true, but /pol/ has always been here just wanted to clarify that it's gotten worse because of the recent political upheaval, but it was always a problem.

>>52819140
Considering the only thing that was searched was literally /pol/, I would say most of them.

>>52820163
It doesn't help that any of the actual /pol/tards posts are probably just false flags to help push this agenda

>>52808083
>Why not just have threads with "general" in the title not show up on page 1?
The same idea has been suggested for quest threads on /tg/. It would invalidate the argument that popular threads shouldn't be allowed because they are often on the front page.

It's fun to see how anti-questers try to explain that provable facts like pic related don't count and that we should just take their word that a thing happened.

No its not.
People have been saying

For fucking ever. And I'm not being hyperbolic, it's literally been happening for fucking years.
Chanology's influx of newfags in 2008 was heralded as the end. That was 9 years ago
Cripplechan, GG, the fappening and moots leaving were all heraled as the end. That was 3 years ago.
Hiro's buyout was heralded as the end. That was 2 years ago.

Here's the facts, proven over the years to never fail to be true: 4chan was always shit, you are the cancer, OP is a fag, and the most important one of all: You're here forever.
4chan will never die, because it was never alive to begin with.
