My take on how to fix /v/
/v/ has become essentially a "gaming politics board" ever since the creation of /vg/. All that is talked about here are upcoming games, not actual released games, or e-drama.
What happened was all the people caught up in e-drama stayed on /v/, and all the people who wanted to talk about video games went to /vg/. Here's my proposed fix.
>get rid of /vg/
>make a new board in its place, /vs/, eSports and competitive games
>endless League, starcraft, fightan, etc. general spam stays on that board still
>all the single player and co-op game generals go back to /v/
>ban all political discussion on /v/
>/v/ is saved
thoughts?
>Hans buys TWO balls of ice cream, both balls are Yoghurt flavor
>he pays 3 bucks
>The next customer is mike
>Mike buys ONE ball of ice cream, same store, same sized ball, same flavor and yet he had to also pay 3 bucks
>Hans happened to witness the whole thing and told mike that he got screwd over considering that He (Hans) also paid 3 bucks but he got TWICE the ammount of the Same exact ice cream
>Mike told him that he doesn't care and that he got used to paying full price for half the product

Just memeing how console players pay full price for 30fps.
As of your question. Bait threads sadly get a lot of replies and it is easier to do so, and yet a few well written threads about video games, recent examples being Metroid threads, are still hitting bump limit.
My advice to you is to use the Filter and block out stuff like ''What did he mean by this?'' ''what went wrong'' and games that you don't care about like in my case ''Horizon zero dawn''. Just use the filter, you will have at least constantly 30 threads blocked, basically cleaning up your /v/ catalog to suite your taste.

Keep /vg/ as it is
Keep /vr/ as it is
Add /vpol/ for pol shit that's /v/ related
Add /vh/ for /v/ related porn only
Rename /v/ to /vb/, as all that's left is shit and piss.
