which thread is generating most of these 20,000 posts cause i don't anything getting bumped rapidly
>>
>>292243469
probably some general schizos arguing with eachother
>>
shonenshit/isekai generals
>>
>>292243469
1.Storytimes
2.Forever generals

Examples of 1 include storytimes for mega popular normalfag manga like Naruto, which is basically just its own general. Why storytime something everyone has read already?

Examples of 2 that are usually on 4stats top are /dbs/, girls und panzer, the yuri general, etc.

Any thread which is not a storytime or forever general gets scuttled to page 10. Even though /a/ is slower than it was in 2009, slower than all its recorded history on 4stats.

>>292243506
Can someone tell me what interest there is in talking about a series that ended many years ago? How do people spend all their time talking about Dragon Ball and Naruto?
>>
Storytime cancer.
>>
>>292243522
Dragon ball technically has a show going even though it’s just another remake, /dbs/ schizos were dead after Daima and migrated to /co/ but now they’re back. Naruto fags just constantly want a general to discuss the same rehashed topics over and over

Waifuposting. Also there's a fair amount of things that haven't ended but are in hiatus/sequel waiting room purgatory.

>>292243605
there's no point coming here when 70% are generals and storytime
>>
>>292243522
Casuals like Naruto fans stop at maybe 50 very popular anime watched in their lifetimes, they then member berries 24/7 until they keel over and die.

>>292243469
Shipping wars used to fuel 4chan. It wasn't long ago when we get Eremika and Erehisu threads at the same time and another SNK thread where people are neutral. That's just one IP. Now tell me how come nu-anime don't generate this level of discussion anymore?

There are 150 threads.
That's 5-6 posts per hour per thread on average.

>>292243776
You can discuss what will happen in the next episode/chapter. What a silly reply.
>>
>>292243773
Shame about everything else, including CSM itself.
You're no different than a Narutofag, kill yourself.

A thread lasting longer than a week used to be seen as a major achievment.
Nowadays the bumpsimps can keep a thread alive for almost a mnth

>major achievment
Why?
>>
>>292243882
Because It didn't happen, the board was fast enough to need more bumps than that, there was usually enough active discussion and debate to burn through things like that.

I remember people being amazed that a thread somehow reached 9 days a couple of years ago, with jannies actively removing posts to keep it up.
now we have like a dozen threads older than a week

That's unfair considering how stacked 2008/2009 were. Now you have one maybe two shows a season that are worth a watch and bring in a crowd for a watch thread, and everything else is garbage generals infested with samefags and the janny's pet schizo.

Funposting threads didn't use to be deleted, so old threads naturally bumped off the page.
Generals didn't exist, so people just moved on instead of forming a little community within a little community.
A few years ago I made a thread about an anime that was currently airing and got 0 replies. I don't think anyone is browsing the front page anymore. My guess is people just got fed up with the moderation and moved on to discord or twitter. /v/ is probably the only board somewhat active on this site, partly due to its lax moderation
>>
>>292243469
Try this and you will get something like 4ppm boost
>>292167873

>>292244223
So why did /a/ get loaded with reddit/u/rds? Did they get purged somehow and set up a camp here? We never used to have this problem but a few years ago they were suddenly everywhere.
>>
>>292244223
Always count on my boogie bro to make threads funny

>>292244139
My method is basically now a hybrid of a watclist for crossboarding a few key series, thread filters to bring my attention to series I care about updates for.

Then I switch the catalog to created by mode and prune everything I don't like with shift+click shunting the few new threads I csre about to the top with a pin.

In the past I used to just not bother with watchlist, pins or filters and shift+click was enough but this board has become less fast and less interesting to keep track of.
>>
>>292244247
Other social media sites like Xitter and TikTok are even worse than /a/ as they're filled with shounentards, so my guess is yuributa try to migrate here and discord to try to get some discussion going.
>>
>>292244264
and that'a a good thing!
>>
>>292243522
When I started watching GuP, all the regulars in their thread gave me recommendations as to watch order, favorite girl, how much they enjoy the series, etc. They're kinda based man

I always found it interesting that /fit/ had the highest christmas day posting dropoff.

Naruto threads are actually schizo namefag wars between an autistic spammer who suspects the OP is his nemesis and a bunch of retards who goad him into melting down in the archives

We mostly migrated from /u/, actually. That place has became an awful place to actually discuss yuri.
Also that anon who keeps posting in angry tone is a well known board cow. He's often spotted in yuri or harem related thread.
>>
>>292243522
/dbs/ is literally mostly shitposting using the same posts and images from years ago pretending like a retard that they're new
But even that has slowed down ever since early last year
January 2025 was the first time in years that I noticed /dbs/ threads lasting more than 24 hours before reaching the bump limit

Just scroll through their latest thread and you will see a bunch of them arguing in the archives

The boards which died are better off than the ones that didn't. The boards which didn't see a significant drop off in posting in the last 5 years are:
/b/, /bant/, /Igbt/, /u/, /trash/, /v*/ (except for /vrpg/), and whichever porn boards got taken over by AI spam

Didn't /a/ drop out of the top 3 boards back when /vg/ was created?
And then the normalfag boards (including /pol/) exploded. /a/ was comfy at 25-35 posts per minute. Down to 10 now, I think.
