The good ol' days...
>>
>>50694327
there was no early /jp/, just former /a/ shitposters, /sp/ shitposters, /fit/ shitposters, /v/ shitposters, /prog/ shitposters, and russian and and finnish chan shitposters.
>>
>>50694475
/jp/ is so diverse....
>>
>>50694107
God this was the time /o/ went too far. Spamming the board to make the janny earn his paycheck? whatever. Fucking with comiket was not cool.
>>
>>50694107
What's the context of this?
>>
>>50694539
For a couple of years some underage avatarfags from /o/ decided to just hole up in /jp/ and spam it and I guess either it wasn't effective enough or they weren't satisfied so they started targetting individual threads just to be a nuisance, knowing everybody was looking forward to comiket.
>>
>>50694545
But why?
>>
>>50694561
Boredom I guess? Do spammers need reasons?
>>
>>50694563
Nowadays they do, so you have a point.
I forgot how in the early days people would just do things like these for no reason.

Happy anniversary, /jp/!

>>50693458
My best memories were the upload threads from different events and downloading random games and music.
>>
>>50693458
I hate /jp/ and I hate it even more that there's no place better than here
>>
>>50694539
some genius made up a rule for these threads: no thanking allowed, to leave more space for posts with uploads. It makes sense on paper, but guess what hundreds of anons did in response to that rule.
>>
>>50695968
there used to be two threads iirc, one for only uploading and one for discussion
>>
i got called a newfag, a regular fag on here 14 years ago and tried to get /tv/ to invade, which then got me banned from both boards.
Now I just sit in the background making smart ass posts and learned to shut the fuck up.

One thing I really miss was the old japanese hermit cabins threads. Those places in japan guys would gather in the woods to play video games and live at for years. Better times back then

The hack itself caused people to fuck off, the reveal that /jp/ mods for some reason genuinely hate this board as if we're the literal fed honeypot that is /pol/ didn't help, plenty of people growing out of imageboards or going to Gensokyo over the years because entropy is the only absolute in this universe, so on and so forth. Depends on what you mean by "suddenly" as well since there's at least a couple other points I can directly point at like the Vtumor threadspam or the Remilia virus or 2016 which are all things that aren't exactly recent but also one of the many nails in a coffin some might even say had already been rotten for years.

If you'll forgive my blogging, I pretty much stopped posting on imageboards entirely years ago and only check back around dates like these. The parts of this board that I like weren't really overtaken by the parts I didn't like even when the board started heavily speeding up, but after a certain point I stopped having fun chatting with the jay about any given topic or just fucking around. There was no singular impetus making me feel that way which makes it hard to put into words, it just became tiring. And learning about more stuff like the aforementioned hack's reveal of the mods weirdly confusing and deeply autistic seething hatred of us didn't help, nor how the worst part of this website was literally only created because Moot met with a pizza ringleader to forward a political agenda with an infinite amount of bots doesn't really make me wanna come back seriously either. I will say it's fucking hilarious to think about how so many people here unironically based their entire adult identity and ideologies around the cum dripping from Moot's asspussy, but that's more of a general site-wide issue than a /jp/ one. And checking the catalog now that my filters are gone it does seem like a good chunk of the threads genuinely don't belong here and instead came from other boards. At a glance I don't see schizothreads from that turk from pissu or whatever alt it was anymore so at least that's a plus?

Oh yeah this new captcha is also probably a part of the issue too. I spent like two minutes wondering why it didn't work before I noticed the next button on the top-right.

Did most people just accept the spur.us mcl.io mossadware shit? Guess they're not going to revert it now. Posters who are aware the consequences of this change aren't normalfags, yet 4stats.io reports only 10k~ traffic has been lost during this. I looked up the spur.us mission statement and founders, I suggest you do the same. Anyone who stays after this change is guaranteed to be a retard. Besides that, I suspect that most the very few good posters that were left are gone after this change and 4chan is just another reddit front page or quora now.
Until an alternative comes up that is Anonymous, spam-resistant, and appealing to users truly into that niche, no altchans isn't valid for this. There is no place for me to exist. 4chan got too big and every way to destroy it has been thoroughly figured out. It wasn't even that hard.

>>50700915
The query only comes up on captcha load. Captcha's don't load if you have a pass, so i've yet to see any of this but i'm not ignorant of it, simply not affected. I'm just watching and waiting to see how things go.
If it actually stopped spammers then I wouldn't care but it seems to have done nothing at all, so it's an active detriment to privacy (like we have much of that left anywhere on the internet anymore thanks to normalcattle and phonefags)

Altchans somehow continue to be worse in every aspect and completely miss the point of simplicity in favor of modern feature bloat.

It was valid to complain about them back when admins of different sites would get into cock fighting contests any time one of their shitty alts were mentioned in any capacity while trying to drag some small amount of people to their boards that have less total posters than the train threads, but nowadays? There's no real heritage left on this website. Even before the hack 4chan culture was dying. Even before the coof 4chan culture was dying. Even before 2016 4chan culture was dying. And /jp/ has always been a board were people who made it their home would end up leaving with the only thing left being tourism and international trash disposal. I'd liken /jp/ to some Caribbean island but I know fuck-all about them so I can't make up any specific example.

You actually can experience the good old days again, this is how i do it:

-boot up my 2009 dell inspiron laptop with windows 7
-download pale moon browser for the old firefox interface
-go on warosu and set the date from 2008 to 2011 and start lurking

warosu has enough content to keep you occupied for years! thats how i originally did it, and thats how i got into the /jp/sphere and all its spin offs, though its a great shame i never really been actually part of it myself

there are still places where you can get to feel those dream like days, but given the nature of this site, i'll not be naming them, so i wish you luck in finding them

I kind of lost hope in /jp/ around the vtuber invasion that made the board 10x faster, then got extremely buttfrustrated when they didn't get exiled after /vt/ was created and mostly gave up. Nowadays I only come back here when I remember 2hu, but recently that has only led me to also remembering that 2hu is the only thing I've ever really enjoyed in my life and that I don't have anything else to my personality, which just spirals me further into depression so I often just give up on browsing any further.

>the worst part of this website was literally only created because Moot met with a pizza ringleader
You're a fucking moron. Moot originally created /pol/(in the form of /new/) in 2010, and removed it in January of 2011.
Note how the board existed BEFORE HE EVEN MET EPSTEIN. People were complaining NON-STOP about /new/ being removed, because it acted as a containment board-and that containment exploded across the entire website.
Moot reinstated it in October of 2011, sometime around the same time as he met Jeffrey Epstein, but also, not coincidentally, around the same time he talked to Sherrod DeGrippo(which happened in November.) We also don't know if he even met with Epstein before the 23rd, as the tentative date we know of was the 24th of October, a day after /pol/ was reinstated.
I don't mind newfags. Hell, god knows I haven't been here long enough for anyone to consider me anything other than a newfag. I just hate people spouting objective lies.

Yeah, that shit annoyed me too. Lots of EDU emails though, which has its own set of conflicting interests.
Take this as hearsay, since... that's pretty much what this is: I was told by a friend who can read Japanese that Hiroyuki got into a scandal with 2ch because he WAS selling access to 2ch to foreign organizations, around the same time the idea of censorship by flooding with misinformation became a talking point within Japan. So, unfortunately, it is believable that 4chan's since been compromised by foreign adversaries; I just don't think it would've happened under Moot.

/new/ wasn't even the first time that board was made, it was /n/ before being deleted for the same reason and replaced with the current /n/. /pol/ leaked out anyway and moot should have just let it be gone the first time. Instead we have /pol/ AND /news/.

Probably what >>50726055 says. Opening in sandboxie does it and also the captcha there is awful and has like 4 different things you have to do like matching shapes and finding arrows pointing at next before you're allowed to post, instead of just the find the non matching shape I have to do every few posts.
>>
>>50725808
>/new/ wasn't even the first time that board was made
Supposedly, according to bibanon, /pol/ actually existed as /pol/ as a trial board back in 2005. I just wanted to post the simplified version, since it'd be "good enough."
>Are you sure that's 4chan and not some addon or a mobile only thing
My college wifi blocked it for me so I had to disconnect and use my phone's hotspot instead to actually post that message.
(Frankly, I'm surprised that this even exists as JS. You'd think they'd implement this shit over PHP...)
Anyways, I personally don't have much of an issue with the new captcha. I think it's pretty good. It also lightens up over time. I really just wish the captcha had a longer expiry when you have 3+ to go through, and that it'd warn you that you got something wrong rather than having to go through the post.

I remember when Kancolle was hyped as the death of Touhou and otaku culture. Blaming it for countless gatcha and mobile games and calling it one itself. Nowadays, unlike Kancolle, Touhou is the mobile gatcha game and is doing more to ruin its own fandom and otaku culture than Kancolle ever did.

What's funny about any of this is that Kancolle could had easily replace Touhou as THE doujin culture if it weren't for Kadokawa shooting itself in the foot for every year since 2014. Now Touhou is as bad as Kancolle in terms of it's quality and even lawyer issue at one point (kys ruw). The manga's are mediocre and even the mainline games aren't special anymore. It's all the same thing but in different coat and it's not as fun as what it used to be anymore, Fossilized Wonders was the only game in the series that actually tried something new. Over 20 main titles later. And I wouldn't miss anything If I skip to that.

What kept the series alive was always been it's legacy (regardless if it's the 90s or the past 2000s era) and the sea of fancontent it spawned. Even the "old works" are getting more attention and love than the recent titles nowadays. And that says a lot if games like Phantasmagoria of Dim Dream are far more enjoyable than Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost.

Gacha and vtubers are astroturfed trends, comparing them to Touhou is just retarded.
It took Touhou years to get to the level it is now with just community passion and love for the game (some of the people that participate in events like comiket and variants sell at a loss) meanwhile new vtubers or gacha get financed by the millions of dollars or followers right away as they appear, like suddenly THIS new thing is the best thing you ever seen.
And despite everything touhou always remains in the top ten of contributions at events like comiket.

Many things happened for Touhoufags to leave.
The hack, not controlling spammers for years, 14days, the revealed files, moar trackers...
gave people a reason to leave. Only people who really like their general and think they can't find anything similar have good reasons for staying.
Posters like you are one of the few redeeming qualities this place has(or had, if you plan on leaving)

For Touhoufags there isn't really much considering the fucking pretend primaries shitting everything up.
They make everything "canon" discussion of shit they didn't read.
They will talk about games they haven't played.
Ah, but if you talk about fanworks they will shit on you because "muh, not canon".

What? I thought Mary Sues where supposed to be popular in-universe.
What are even the rules for a Mary Sue besides "poweful character I don't like"?

>>
>>50729435
>I notice its mostly newfags and younger generations that complain about zun's "writing"
Because what we came from were the characters, really. We didn't paid attention to the writing because the lore was just an afterthought to us. Since we can came up with headcanon regardless.
>The years of narrative slop plaguing the game industry has really ruined the concept of just having a nice setting.
The main issue with this statement is that the mangas do try to have it's own narrative. And most of the time it fails so miserably that it overshadows the setting as a whole.
>>
>>50729438
>What? I thought Mary Sues where supposed to be popular in-universe.
Mary Sues in a simplified term are just "overpowered female characters that never lose". We never see any shred of weakness nor we see her getting lost for real outside of beating her in PCB, which even then it's still a question if it's even canon to begin with. She will get the last laugh even if said scenario could realistically make her a loser. So her being labeled as such makes sense.
>>
>>50729435
I think it's all that content on writing there's on the internet, like vids youtube recommends of "how to write le inspiring story" or whatever shit as well as tvtropes and the like.
Also people getting their info from wiki's summaries instead of the actual thing.
ZUN's writing would fall under nefarious any of those "objectively correct" standardized horiwuud or whatever shithole metrics.
Threads feel more like people trying to astroturf about Touhou or ZUN in general rather than the game or chapter that the thread is dedicated to.
>>
>>50729557
>what we came from were the characters
Fair, It's funny how Touhou doesn't have character focused writing, despite that everyone seemingly wants that fucking type of writing really bad. I guess that gacha games actually write pandering to waifufags and that's why many moved on to those.
>the mangas do try to have it's own narrative. And most of the time it fails so miserably that it overshadows the setting as a whole.
It's a bit of the main problem of Touhou: vagueness. People really seem to dislike that anything that could be used for a "canon crusade" could just be a character or a piece of propaganda.
I just wish people at least tried to read it before calling it shit.
Because I'm tired of seeing people call shit they haven't read/watched/played or defend something with passion because they jerk off x character or x headcanon.
But heck this isn't even a Touhou only problem

So extra stages are immediately non-canon or just phantasm or what rules are we following here?

idk I might as well say that, save for gender Superman or Goku is a mary sue? Or heck wouldn't practically every shonen character fall into that metric as well as other characters?

The whole point of this criticism is not about that Touhou doesn't follow hollow capeshit story rules or whatever shit you think of at TVTropes. But rather it has sincere issues with the quality of it's writing on some of the printworks. You don't need to be Shakespeare to know how dogshit CDS's writing is. And hell, there are people who are as just media illiterate like you said. Who only look at the wikis and some out of context stuff in the source material without reconsideration. The e-celeb named "TheOVJ" is very notorious for this retardation, especially his "touhou is declining :(" video, which I believe it kickstarted this astroturfing and it muddied the discussion.

>>50729700
>She's also playable in the fighters and loses there a bunch of battles...
Fair enough, I didn't paid attention to the canonicity of these games' route too.
And my Phantasm stage comment was related to how self-contained it is, it's obvious since it's... well... extra.

>idk I might as well say that, save for gender Superman or Goku is a mary sue? Or heck wouldn't practically every shonen character fall into that metric as well as other characters?
>Are magical girl protags also mary sues?
All depending on the context. In the case of Superman and Goku, they didnt just lost battles not once, but they also had character developments at the same time.

What I meant by "shakespeare" was that you just need basic media literacy skills to understand. It wasn't about the consumption, you NEED to consume said media to understand what is going on here. And I do agree that some people just don't do that.
>That kinda relates to my other problem, people shit on new stuff but can't be assed to discuss old stuff either.
Absolutely true, there are some old stuff that are worthy to the discussion and not talked a lot by the community, yet most of the time it's getting a slide.

Not really disagreeing with you. One would also need to know some previous Touhou lore imo, for it not to be weird, which maybe people also lack.

>All depending on the context.
Indeed Superman has like a shit-ton of writers/stories across many decades so it depends.
Can't really say much about him but I've heard people talk about how he doesn't change in a story that much but rather, the writing adapts to the time.
Goku stays pretty much the same in DBZ start to finish. And from what I've heard from complaints about Super.
Those characters feel rather as they change with the times(meta reasons) than in-universe reasons.

So I guess they're Gary Stus by that definition, because I guess we need a different term for the same thing but genderbend.
I guess my definition is different or something because I thought a Mary Sue was mainly a matter of charisma, to the point where it feels that other characters like the character and constantly help her out, just because the author wants it.
