So it seems that that anon isn't here anymore... Can't blame him though, /jp/ is dead and even I stopped coming here.
I only come now on special occasions such as this one to make threads like these.

Yes, oldfag, that is old. Give up and accept that you are a man in your 30s.

Ironically, oldfags gatekeeping literally anyone who wasn't 40 years old and "Knew about it before it was cool" did fuck all to stop the board recline.
This means I can call them slurs in good faith, as they turned out to just be fucking assholes with no credibility.

Now that I'm here though the fucking cancerous captcha might not help.

Nigga 2023 was just 3 years ago.

When even a hag thread isn't enough to make anons come back... You know that is truly over.

There was a definite major and rapid change in board culture on /jp/ before and after 2020. We had things slowly shifting in the late 2010s where the general attitude and lingo on the board became gradually more like the rest of 4chan, then the vtuber phenomenon went semi-mainstream in 2020 and flooded this board pushing out many of the last holdouts of old /jp/, then /vt/ swept up most of that population in '21, and since then things have been mostly the same for the past few years. The /jp/ of 2026 is still pretty similar to how it was in 2023, especially compared to that rapid change at the turn of the decade, so this three-year gap is a lot less significant for being meaningfully an oldfag than it was in much of 4chan's past.

More importantly, though, that thread is from /po/, not /jp/. There's some crossover but they're different boards. There's no reason to bring up "old /jp/" when the topic is a /po/ thread.

Do you know where some of these lost anons went? I don't care about /jp/ anymore, I just want someplace where I can post with like-minded otaku without having to deal with retarded mod decisions and needing to filter out a gorillion idol generals.

/jp/ was still alive in 2020, and even back in 2023, but after the mods implemented the 14-day autosage limit /jp/ became really dead, 3dpd and vtumors are now the board's sole source of activity.

probably some altchans like kissu, zzzchan, eight chan, ...etc. kissu is probably the closest to /jp/ in terms of culture

To prove that /jp/ is really dead, let's do some simple stats to see how many posts /jp/ gets yearly, to do this, I looked at the post numbers of each post each year past 8:00 AM UTC (this is the time that warosu prefers to sort by for some reason), I searched warosu and got these post numbers, starting from 2013:
2013: 10297729
2014: 11764203
2015: 12860895
2016: 14558326
2017: 16348231
2018: 18138263
2019: 20538186
2020: 22696392
2021: 31595696
2022: 37980765
2023: 42230486
2024: 45673518
2025: 48594983
2026: 50522073

After this, it's easy to do the math to find out the number posts that have been posted between two years (e.g. the number of posts from 1/1/2014 to 1/1/2015 is 12860895 - 11764203 = 1096692)
I've done these calculations in a spreadsheet then plotted them, you can see that there was a huge spike in 2020-2021, but posting activity is going down still, even vtumors are not enough to sustain its activity.

Also, let's try to predict the numbers for 2026-2027, right now we're in the middle of the year, the most recent post number I can see as of now is 50999408, doing the math, that's 477335 posts since the beginning of this year, multiply that number by 2 and you get 954670, that is about half the number of posts last year, and that is assuming activity doesn't go down till the end of the year.

Kissu was thrown around a lot during the autosage disaster
