WC-only /sp/ user since 2014 and I've never seen /sp/ this dead for an openerwtf happened?
The actual world cup starts in 17 days. This group stage is a joke.
>>155133002The honest answer is the fucking changes to the captcha are cancerous and have contributed massively to the gradual decline in posting volume across all boards.
>>155133002Not bad
>>155133002Twitter took all the tourists
>>155133002New captcha fuckery and the hack killed 4chinz
this website is fucking dead
>>155133540good?
>>155133456I just wanted to post a joke a bout the ref speaking English like a mong, and I had to wait 60 seconds to post and failed the captcha because I'm drunk and by the time I posted it was too late
>>155133002america world cup, cringe, low effort, low energy, third world country (they don't even have roofs on the stadiums like wtf), and to top it all, america culture fatigue. If I have to laugh at Americans poisonous food one more time...
>>155133548so we filtered out the <90iqs and adhd freaks
people say the site is dead but /pol/ /vg/ /v/ and even /tv/ are still activethis board just died in the past few years and became a generals board
>>155133456haven't posted for 3 years and almost couldn't believe it, it feels like a joke?
>>155133589what a life! what a beautiful beautiful ride
>>155133603>america culture fatiguenot happening. the world is more americanised than ever.
the site could be more active with your average 2026 internet user but lets be honest they wouldn't be qualityposting now would they
/generals/
>>155133456The sliding word captcha was fine but this current one is so fucking bad
>>155133653I'd say more old posters leaving and replaced by 3rd world culture war fags but I can't prove it so yeah
>>155133002At least it’s not an ocean of generals
someone post the graph lolno one browses this mushroom growing indonesian board anymore
>>155133709/vg is just /notdiscord/ and /v/ is the most dogshit imaginable, at any time of the day you will have, at best, 5 sincere threads and the rest will be sales faggotry, off-topic threads and culture war shit. It's really bad
X is unrioncally more edgy than 4chan now so people fucked off there. Also no one under the age of 25 uses 4chan so we don't have that bump of new users Most people on here are millennials
>>155134464then what are the young versions of us doing these days instead? it cant be normie world
>Most people on here are millennialsgrimso this place is the equivalent to those old boomer forums from 2006 where some bloke's uncle would talk about his car exhaust at this point?
>>155134560Posting george droyd/charlie kirk memes on instagram reels
>>155134671>instagram reelsbut thats normie to the core
>>155133709/v/ and /tv/ are populated largely by paid shills pushing their product to a website with a large audience, and /pol/ and /vg/ are the same except they do it for free because they love their team and hate the enemy team.
>>155133002Site basically never truly recovered post the hack and this current captcha is ridiculous for casual retard posting. That paired with a WC with very little hype, shitty opening game, etc.
>>155133002I mean, look at this tournament. It is bound to be shit
>>155134700They just doomscroll some shitty memes all day
>>155133456this is the easiest captcha we've ever had, no typing, just slide some shit and clickive been here since before kimmo forced moot to add captcha
>>155134560from what i understand everyone is hypnotized by reels and tiktok and the ones that would have shitposted on 4chan are instead grooming kids on roblox and discord
>>155134885easiest captcha was when there were two words and one was fake that you could enter whatever you wantedthis shit legit takes me 30+ seconds
>>155133002the actual answer would send one straight into time out if you know you know
the captchas are legit difficult nowlike you need at least a 110 IQ to get it first time
This site gets more dead every year. People only come here for /pol/, /v/, and the other tranny boards. Most boards are slow as fuck now
>>155134885ThisHow is figuring out what figure is different between two triangles and a circle any harder than typing out a bunch of distorded letters and numbers?
>>155134558you should check out /adv/ sometimes, it's full of <20 year old retards unironically asking for advice.
>>155133589>failed the captcha because I'm drunk
Are people actually retarded? I find this captcha easier than that stupid identify all the buses one.
>>155134560the future is 100% normie
wait until some euro team with black ppl in it startsthen reddit will show up no worries
>>155135100I love the new captcha my nigga
>>155133002yeah, I only come for the world cup (that I watch a little just to participate in the shitposting) and the board is kinda dead. Sad.
>>155133456/sp/ has been dead for years mang. Like pre covid it was nothing like back in the day
>>155133456Regular posting from computer is absolute shit with the captcha but phone posting from a app is retardedly easy to post. Dunno why they made it like this, desu.
>>155133589He spoke english? I think the sound was shit while he was speaking but it sounded like gibberish.
>>155135034True. I swear they could combine boards to help create more energy, but whatever.
>>155133709/teevee/ feels dead as fuck, almost as slow as /ck/ these days
>>155133002Football as a sport is dead. FIFA has made it hollowed, oil arabs can buy whatever they want, every single player tries to cheat and dive as much as they can and every national team is full of ngubus without brains or skill.
>>155134885that is incorrect, here comes the "actually" redditor momentI also had that easy slide captcha, and do right now as well. But I had to completely erase my cookies and info at some point on my browser, and oh boy, if you are new here and the system has no info on you, they give you very, very, VERY obnoxious captchas.First you need to wait 60s, 90s or 120s just to receive a captcha, then they give you 4 slide captchas, with very annoying patterns (3 point stars, 4 point stars, tetris pieces, random ass cubes with lines on it). You need to answer these correct at least 10 to 15 times for the system to give you the easy ones (mostly dices and square/triangles/circles). If you answer ONE captcha wrong, it resets, and you need to answer those 10 to 15 correctly again, in a row. But wait, it gets worse, you can't just simply post anything and rush these initial harder captchas, they have a timer. Something around 10 minutes, or maybe 20 minutes. So you can't just abuse the system, you need to wait to get the "score".It's a pain in the ass, worst captcha ever
>>155133456>>155134885>>155135030I think the difficulty of the captcha changes. If your cookies have no history of posting then you get difficult captchas. If you have a 4chan cookie which has a history of successful captchas and posts, your captchas will be easier.t. Easy captcha nigga because I post often
>>155135008>type half the captcha as "nigger"Kino
>>155133002We fucking told you over and over there was no hype for the World Cup.
>>155133002the match times are stupid and exclude 3/4 of the football enjoying world. i have a job, i'm not watching 3am games.
>>155135374>>155135349oh yeah i have to identify the right pattern square from a selection of 25 different squares, 4 times in a row
>>155135349>>155134885You guys need to slide?
>>155135349>t. brainletJust visualize the shape in your mind and select it once you have to pick it up. The initial waiting time can be annoying but it only shows up once in your session. I like that it discourages tourists who shit up the niche boards.
>>155135291/tv/ is just advertising and media campaigns now
>>155135402There is always hype for the World Cup, just not in your dogshit country
>>155133002The hack last year basically killed the website.
>>155133002this place isn't relevant now simple asreddit got bigger and went mainstreamtwitter took the edgy leftovers
>>155135856The only thing this place has to offer is a no algorithm live feed, which for most people, is not a positive.
>>155133456Yep I gave up using the website because of the captchas, only checking now because of the World Cup. Only responding to this post because I agree with you on the captchas>wait 60 seconds>scroll to find matching image, not clear at all what that image is>do this four times>says captcha incorrect so I have to do this a second time and third timeHow do they expect this website to garner any activity like this? It takes me about five minutes to make a post
agree with others. captchas are just way harder than they need to be nowbefore you cope with 'you're just dumb' or whatever, no. you know you're all guessing some of the time and there's like 3 rounds of this shite per post
>>155135959filtered
>>155135959I mentally read this post in a Scottish accent. We should always have England/Scotland/Wales/NI flags, so I can see when a Celtic brother is posting.
>>155133962*americanized
>>155135856You have to pay to use Reddit now so no. Xitter is where everyone is but I don't use it for sports.
>>155133456feel like been waiting for fuckn ages to make this post now i have to solve osm e gay puzzles like a child doing gcscsits so wank i just want to shitpost like i used to fml why is there 4 of them
if they got rid of captchas and we just had bots wouldn't that be worse than the traffic decline
>>155140948Yes, but people want it to be worse. They want to see wojaks with flags on their foreheads, BBC edits and real humans taking the bait, that's what people come here for
>>155133002>first day of the world cup>latest reply on the last thread of page 10 is 4 and 15 minutes ago/sp/ is dead
>>155140587>fml why is there 4 of themit tracks you, unfortunately with cookies per device not via IP, and the POS captchas get 'easier' - drops to three, then one puzzle challenge or none - after a bit. Its a flying PITA when you use multiple devices and it initially wont let you post from a new device at all, this after 4 shitty captchas.>whywho the fuck knows.pissing off existing users to the extent they flee while blocking new ones entirely is always a winning strategy.
>>155133456>This filters anonsProbably best they don't post desu.
>>155133002The sharty hack last year killed 4chan.
Guys, just make a fake mail on gmail or outlook and verify your mail. It's a bit of a bother but not that big a deal.
>>155141257I shed a tear patriot
To be fair i remember /sp/ around 2011 and 2012 to be fast as fuck compared to nowadays, but way more muttball compared to football, only tournaments and Premier League threads were constant, and the guys playing FM of course.
