I am totally fucking sick of the faggot pissing contest shit slinging on this board. Why are people incapable of just not going to a thread of a car they don't like and start arguing. Why do people keep complaining about every fucking brand? Why are they called 'enthusiasts' when most of the time they're hating on cars? What the fuck do you niggers LIKE about cars???

Yo, /o/ has been my homepage on all of my machines since 2008. /o/ has always been off-topic for adults as long as we keep it mildly car-related.
I'm a mechanical engineer, but I guarantee you'd shit on me if I went on a diatribe about metallurgy or math calling me a "tryhard" - that's your free speech. It's part of the game, but don't make fun of the game when we're the only show in town.

>as long as we keep it mildly car-related
Take a look at the threads nowadays. Assuming one even starts out about cars inevitably some shitposting e-whore like the wheelgap spic will derail it into 200+ posts of shit flinging. Now if people ignored it it would go away but anons don't have that amount of self restraint so there's always at least one who will reply to the faggot. I've been saying this for some time and I'll keep saying it - if a janny did a hard crackdown on shitposters it would really clean this board up in no time. Same thing should also happen to other boards sans the designated containment cesspools. Call me reddit or whatever, I don't give a shit, there's a finite amount of tolerance people have for nonstop shitposting designed to only derail a thread. If it was at least funny then it'd be a different story.

Most posters here just want to anonymously rag on you about whatever you like because it costs them nothing to do so, but they get the benefit of engagement. Maybe in the past this used to be a place to get some actually good and honest information about cars, but its almost entirely vapid shitposting now.
There are some anons here genuinely passionate about cars that can appreciate things beyond their specific and narrow tastes, but they are not common. It feels like bumping into an actual person in a crowd of npcs.

It was once. It goes for all of 4chan that people are assholes for the sake of being assholes because newfags come thinking "zomg 4chan i hope i don't get dox'd" like it was ever a dangerous place.

Literally just autism if Anon 1 likes car A Anon 2 will get fucking pissed because "reeee how can anyone like car A if car B is clearly better!" other examples would be dick measuring contests in speed but then someone with a decorative car or a classic minds their own business in their own thread and the speed fanatics can't comprehend someone enjoying a car for anything that isn't speed it just doesn't compute to them so again they get all pissy until a biker comes in to rightfully put them in their place. We can see this in car shapes too. "reee how can anyone like cars that are round/wedge/boxy/whatever reee!" If you expose this behavior they'll complain being "forced" to "respect" cars because the autist can't comprehend just being indifferent to things instead of actively seething over basically nothing important. They can claim to be "trolling" all they want but I've had the displeasure of interacting with autists in real life and no they genuinely get frustrated with people who enjoy different things or the same thing for different reasons. They're closer to boomers in mindset than they think because the truth is those boomer enthusiasts were also autistic.

it's a bit of both imo. 4chan has been around long enough to slowly filter out lots of civilized discussion in favour of screeching retards that get enough engagement so they don't leave

we've evolved from blue boards being semi-focused with some off topic shit, with /b/tards being in their containment board to most boards becoming lite-/b/ with generals being more niche and splintered versions of the original board

This is why I keep saying this retarded site needs the mods to actually step in and moderate it. However when you so much as mention this newfags and other undesirables immediately screech you want to encroach on their "freedom of speech" and their freedom of speech revolves only around derailing, flooding and spamming every single thread they see on a board. Not to mention the absurd amount of porn and soft porn being spammed on almost every board under the guise of a thread enough to spawn the "lust provoking image, time wasting question" meme. I even wanted to apply to be a janny myself but when I read further into it you have no power to actually do anything meaningful so it's pointless anway. God I hate the subhumans who infest and shit up this site so much.

I want to be incredibly clear with you guys. I see this sentiment on nearly every semi-active board on this site now. 4chan has gone to immeasurable levels of meaningless rage now and every user who actually gives a damn agrees. It's as if /pol/ and /b/ are seeping out into every facet of this place. It's dare I say, unusable for meaningful discussion.

Discord and Twitter have siphoned away all active users who cared because of /b/ and /pol/tards getting more bold. Ironically, them leaving made it even easier for the retards to take over.
After a point it became a self-sustaining cycle that will only end when every board becomes /pol/ with porn and maybe a slight hint of the actual board topic.

What sucks is that when considering those alternatives to 4chan, Twitter is just a shit site to use, and any other users who went to discord went to many different servers for the same topic. So the entirety of those communities in which they used to post here are now incredibly divided amongst many different servers or sites, along with heavy content restrictions. The consequence of staying here though is posting into an echo chamber of rage and nothingness.

It's just a shitty fucking situation. 4chan is old and rotting away. As much of a hellhole this place was at least you could state your actual opinion. Sadly that virtue is now what's killing it.

>/b/ and /pol/tards
Yes, yes, /b/ has always been shit but I remember /b/ not being this much of a cesspool as it is now. Around 2012 or 2013 you could still find greentext threads with good OC, especially the tard stories threads. In general 4chan used to be were OC was made, now it's a dumping ground of OC made elsewhere. I know this will sound very /pol/ but I blame ESLs, especially the brown kind, the most.
I'm an ESL myself but I've learned the language enough to understand nuance and irony. nuchanners are just so degenerated all they can do is regurgitate content from elsewhere which is also what's killing this site because there's no driving force to keep the site alive if there's no good content being made.
The other thing is retards don't lurk before joining in because they don't care. They all think 24/7 shitflinging is how it's supposed to be because other newfags taught them. They don't know any better either. Chan culture doesn't exist anymore and you can basically boil every issue down to this. There's no one to teach newfags about chan culture because most people who cared either fucked off like you said or just don't care because they know it's pointless.
The sheer volume of jeets who barely understand the language flooded the site and now you have everyone at each other's throats because they don't understand when someone is just jesting. They always treat everything as a personal slight against them so it's a self perpetuating cycle of vitrol. You'd have to rid the site of them first to even have a sliver of hope at recovering and we all know it's nigh impossible to do at this point.

Anyway thanks for subscribing to my blog. I will most likely post something similar in the near future when another thread like this pops up. Whether we like it or not the site is dead, it just doesn't know it yet.
I wish it weren't so because despite this being a cesspool of retardation and degeneracy I still had many fun times over the years here.

I've been here since 2003, before /o/ even existed. I was one of the people shilling Volvos back in the day among other things.
It was always shit, people always fought over stupid shit, but the one thing that has changed is how thirdies and ESLs lack an understanding of sarcasm or irony.
Even when I'm fighting with people I try to make a concerted effort to be funny. If they don't get it then I'll drop the facade but nowadays you get these dumb asses who go ">you were just pretending to be retarded" like it's some sort of grand revelation. Yes, newfag, that is precisely what I was doing and you fell for it. Take your licks and don't reply next time. The thirdies, (that means you Aussies too) dont get this subtlety and openly seethe about having been mislead, mistakenly presuming that there is some battle for veracity, like anyone has a reputation here to uphold, like reddit or old-school forums. The fact is there isn't and there is basically no purpose for seething at anybody if they're actually retarded or not. You gain nothing and they are the ones who are entertained by the thrashing.
Mostly what happened is the oldfags grew up and the old jokes got overplayed. We memed Volvos so hard they exploded in popularity irl and prices for 240s and 740s went up. Funny people like Jackal and LPG came and went.
Now you try the same kind of ironic humor and these new kids just don't GET it. Everything is serious business to them. I can't even shitpost about my V6 Challenger without seething europoors and underage thirdies literally pissing and shitting theirselves over it like it fucked their mom and stole their tv. There is an entire discord full of trannies dedicated to seething at me specifically, and it's not irony they're actually fucking mad and think doing gay shit like posting my name or where I live will stop me from making Mopar threads or telling people to buy chally wallys. No dice. I'm here forever.

It really was a surprisingly fun thing to do on /b/. It was at that perfect storm, too, since alot of people who were of age posting on /b/ around that time grew up back when it was in vogue to integrate the tards into normal schools and normal classes. Do they still do that? I think it might've fallen out of vogue. I remember in middle school there was a tard department but by the time I was done HS there was nary a tard to be found.

Looking back, it's like a time capsule of a very specific trend in education that touched alot of people.

Poe's law applies to anyone. I've spoken to friggin Germans who understand sarcasm better than most Americans on here.

I have noticed zoomers on the web have this underlying passive aggressiveness in every conversation and they need to convey that you're not approved while also showing as little effort in the response as possible (Like that "cringe" and "bruh" faggotry) and they totally throw the conversation into bickering no matter what you say to keep it on track.

Most people don't actually have a passion for cars, they just view the car they drive as some sort of extension of a personality trait (or lack thereof) they have. As such, if you don't suck off whatever car or car brand they've chosen, it's viewed as an insult to them specifically. It's kinda part of a bigger problem with social media, you can find the same thing for clothes, music, cartoons, etc. People that think this way are incapable of accepting dissent, so they just throw fits and piss on the things actually passionate people enjoy. Unfortunately, minus a handful of generals, there's no real point in posting engaging threads because they get filled with morons. I'm guessing most guys just left for car model specific forums to escape these kinds of people.

Wait wait wait what if WHAT IF instead of moderation changes, they just made it a requirement to have an account to post on 4chan? You dont have to go mental and fag it up with karma like reddit. You just have a handle and post history with that username for all to see.

That would be all you need to filter the shit out. People could see exactly who a screaming retard is and mentally tag their name and people would suddenly have an actual reputation to uphold.

Then you might as well go to reddit because you lose the anonymity and you can't take that away because what's the point of an anonymous image board then? I know this generates the most issues but making accounts mandatory isn't really a solution and it's not like you can't just make a bunch of throwaway accounts to shitpost anyway. Tripfags are already bad enough with their shit takes they think everyone should treat as gospel now imagine every retard being like that.
>>28859493
>just word filter
I've been doing this for a long time but it's not perfect and anons who don't know about it still engage with those subhumans. Also you'd have to basically filter every word because some don't use easily identifiable phrases or words that stand out.
>>
>>28856922
All those other posts have a point and all, but I've seen it put succinctly on /v/ of all places. Nobody argues with your post anymore, they argue with what they imagine the anon making the post to be. Doesn't matter what you say. You're Xfag or Yschizo who clearly has an agenda/is seething/is a zoomer/is an unc/is a newfag/is an oldfag who has to touch grass/is a shill/is brown/is a virgin/is a normalfag/is a failed normie, et cetera. It's all very bizzare. What happened to just smarmily correcting typos or calling each other faggots? Now it has to include the word -schizo or -troon alongside what personality trait an anon's imagined for his enemy because... reasons.

But then again, it could just be someone boredly stirring up shit on his second monitor who's just gotten this engagement formula down to reflex. Maybe those "arguments" you see that go on for 200+ posts are just two guys who're getting their kicks acting as retarded as possible, imagining the other guy to be seething, their expressions nonplussed the entire time. An avalanche of irony, I suppose.

Reddit is over moderated trash full of fags who are scared of the word that best describes them. If everyone on 4chan suddenly went by a username, you could still say kikenigger and rant about trannies and nobody would care. Having to make an email and new account for throwaways is still enough of a hurdle to deter screeching mong behaviour. I don't think it would ruin 4chan.
