they are constantly hoping from domain to domain, but for now this is the one.

>>78905704
it does seem cursed but the truth is girlvinyl was the only competent owner, and with how abrupt she left it could only have fallen into the hands of the most obvious people who would want to own a site like ED.
people hated moot for all sorts of reasons, but if one day he decided to nuke 4chan it most likely would've gone the route of ED. of all the 4chan community's achievements, running a (relevant) successful platform in the long-term is not one of them.

Discussion point: Mods seem to be significantly more active lately, banning/warning users for breaking rules across all boards, even ones that the community would consider minor. Does /hap/ think this is a good change or is it bad? I really feel like when moderation is lax or non-existent, people complain that they don't care. When moderation is active, people claim that they're power tripping Nazis who take their job VERY seriously. Wondering what everything thinks. I think it's a good thing.

bumping shitty thread

>>78905754
moot was an absolutely fucking godly admin in hindsight, it's no wonder he went on to handle g+ and other social media shit at google

>>78909597
In complete honesty, we didn't deserve moot. I have heard that he was incredibly difficult to work with behind the scenes though.

Hot take, but I think moot did us all a favor by selling the site to Hiro rather than somebody else, and I interpret it as his final gift of love. People love to shit on hiroshimoot but the truth is that he has changed next to nothing and allowed 4chan to continue being 4chan, rather than drastically changing things that would actually kill the site.

This is a post that is similar to a bump.

>>78909668
Where there any details about how and when the deal was settled? It never seemed like he so much as glanced at anyone else wanting to buy 4chan. The closest thing was notch talking with swaglord on twitter.
I guess we should be thankful he didn't sell to Milo Yiannopoulos or such.

the only other example i can think of right now (of equivalent size) is deviantart, which was only bought out recently afaik.

Anyone else feel like most non-4chan memes referenced outside of the internet are obviously forced?
Most of the time when a 4chan meme is referenced in an official publication, it feels like it's because it's just a now-commonly-used phrase like "red-pilled", but when I see things like pic related, it feels like it's just because the author wanted to reference an internet meme (from tumblr) to be reposted online, and it feels the exact same with memes from twitter, instagram, tik tok, and so on.

>>78915087
can't get anymore forced than a 4chan meme

>>78915087
Oh, absolutely. Memes stick around because they're cognitohazards.
You can't just make something up, it has to have a mental effect so profound that people can't stop thinking about it.

I used to think the whole "all memes come from 4chan" bit was just some hyperbolic self masturbation before seeing the pipeline first hand. Its interesting how even today, despite people saying 4chan is less culturally relevant, its memes still end up diffusing into the wider internet community, yesterday for instance i saw someone using KWAB on twitter. Also interesting how chan memes tend to stick around whilst others die out within a week or two

>>78917185
It's just survival of the fittest + no censorship + hard-ish to force. Altchan ememes are better thougheverbeithoweverish

>>78917185
4chan is absolutely nowhere close to being as culturally relevant as it used to be. The golden age is long long past. Some things originating here end up spreading and becoming somewhat mainstream but not like they used to. Spaces like Tiktok and Twitter are where most of the hot new memes come from nowadays.

>>78917185
people on here just have a very unique way of talking and it makes it hard not to just act like you would on 4chan to deliver some jokes, greentexting being the biggest example of this.
the sad thing is there used to be way more forums making memes like peanut butter jelly time from offtopic.com or advice dogs coming from some random fucking mario fansite, but now those are gone people just lump everything into "4chan did it" so it makes it harder to tell.

>>78917336
this is true but for its size 4chan still has a disproportionate influence on broader culture, e.g. gigachad memes and soijaks being inevitable in any heated discussion. hell the word zoomer literally comes from here and is now an actually recognized term for gen z, it doesn't really get more mainstream than that.

>>78918514
Yes absolutely 100%. I think the end tail of 2024 is going to be scary as well. World war 3 is no longer a jokes about topic, it's an inevitably at this point, and the US presidential election in November this year will greatly impact the direction ww3 goes. It's also likely going to end up being the ugliest, most divisive election in the nations history regardless of the result and I think civil unrest and political violence is likely.

>>78925679
>but they're responding with speed to things like that
/v/ mods only do things when they feel personally attacked
Like abib (more like anig amiright) only allowing infinite smash threads because the game is according to him a "cultural phenomenon"
There's probably an lgbt cultist mod who sees any and all criticism of wuk lamat as criticism on transgender people

>>78925992
sometimes even the mods act like EDiots or old /b/ larpers when everybody knows they weren't around for that so sometimes i think they just see an anthro character and feel the autistic screeching of their /b/ ancestors fill their soul

we'll see if they go so hard on the game when 7.1 rolls around and they can't contain threads about it without pissing off the board's entirety

>>78925679
Let's hope they keep at it instead of giving up like they did with the master duel threads

>>78926047
so far this is the longest they've actually properly targeted FFXIV but i imagine a large part of it is due to lack of thread interest (game is in a mediocre spot, little to talk about) and that they've let five or six spastic mexicans run free in the threads and do whatever they want, and even when they do get slapped they ban evade instantly

>>78926096
for a while when EW released the xiv threads on /v/ had a purpose.
the /xivg/ on /vg/ are just an ERP circlejerk of perma-mazed fappers and avatarfags. The xiv threads on /v/ are where people went to vent about how shit the game had become without having to deal with avatarfagging lalaposter etc.
But now those posters are in the threads on /v/ as well, and also complaining that xiv is shit now is no longer novel.

I'm glad they existed for a week or 2, but not any more.

>>78926171
the threads were getting really tiresome and spammy to the point of driving off anybody that might've been interested in keeping a recurring thread going so it's not like i'm sad to see them go right now, hell for all of that an autistic spammer has been religiously talking about the same shit on endless repeat for about a year, year and a half now, maybe longer. this isn't getting into the guys that are very blatantly the only ones who give a rat's ass that there are avatarfags and try to make everybody else obsess over them too, or the one that spams artbooks and pretends he's on-topic while he does so, or the one that spams off-topic song lyrics because he hates masayoshi soken and got really upset when he did it with the "poopity scoop" part of kanye west's lift yourself and wouldn't respond to anybody that posted it back at him in later threads

Anyone here from /tg/? I always heard the /tg/ janny or mod is shit but in my few months of lurking I never learned why people are crying.

>>78925992
I truly have no fucking idea why mods foam at the mouth whenever there is a thread about ff14 on /v/ and ban people over it. I would imagine that they would want people making threads, discussing videogames on the videogames board. Not even complaining about it, I don't care since I don't play it or make threads about it, but as a user I find it an incredibly strange thing to enforce and "die on that hill" so to speak. I asked about it once in IRC and was given the answer "all recurring threads (generals) belong in /vg/" so I guess that's the official policy on it. Talk about ff14 in its designated thread on /vg/ or risk a ban. I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but I am honestly at a loss to whatever that good reason could be. I don't really go into ff14 threads, so if anybody knows the reasoning behind this (real reasons, not "mods like WoW") please reply and let me know because I'm actually curious.

>>78926252
native fa/tg/uy here. I think our janny/mod/whoever takes a particularly strong stance against /pol/ leaking into "their" board. That makes it either a good board or an awful board, depending on your stance.
Also some time in the last year the chess general moved from /tg/ to /vg/ claiming it was to excape the wrath of an overzealous janny, but whenever I looked at them they were having arguments about geopolitics and e-celebs or lusting over female chess players.

>>78926289
my guess is once a topic gets pinned as "pseudo-general with little good discussion and lots of shitposting", they start looking at it more closely when it gets reported.

>>78926252
off the top of my head it's a traditional thing, a mod waaaay back randomly assigned himself to /tg/ and went totally against the board's grain, especially because they'd already had a good history of actually, properly self-moderating against trolls in a creative way

>>78926289
i don't think there actually is a good reason since poor thread quality has a lot to do with mods also refusing to moderate them, so baby's first CIA false-flag on their part if it's poor thread quality that's their reasoning for getting rid of it

"mods prefer WoW" isn't as bullshit a reason as you would think at first, mods similarly refused to get rid of a robot spamming guild wars 2 threads and generals on /v/ and /vg/ way back

>>78926289
>I asked about it once in IRC and was given the answer "all recurring threads (generals) belong in /vg/" so I guess that's the official policy on it.
Yeah, except for smash threads because smash is a cultural phenomenon.

Anger and outrage generate the most engagement, and people who post such content are financially incentivized to do so. For posts on 4chan, it's Yous that feel good.

How do you think 4chan would go if it started today? Pretend imageboards aren't a thing in the US yet.
It has the same type of moderation and attention it had when it started.
Would it last a year?

>>78927242
Previous replies are true on a broader scale, but also on a personal level: people (e.g. trolls or aggressive keyboard warriors) who have nothing in their lives look to the internet as a way to expel their frustrations, and doing so towards unsuspecting bystanders gives them the ability to shit where they aren't necessarily eating by pissing of people they'll never meet again, a community they don't care about, or anything like that.

>>78927582
No. The internet is too coagulated around large social media sites and the trends involving their use now.

>>78927582
>How do you think 4chan would go if it started today?
Badly.
>Pretend imageboards aren't a thing in the us yet
I can't, that's too stupid for me. Somebody would have done it already. Moot was just the first to do it.
>It has the same type of moderation and attention it had when it started.
4chan was incredibly obscure for a long time and it's moderators we're not exactly the most professional or seasoned people. Mostly thinking of Snacks in particular.
>Would it last a year?
Depends. I think it would be up and operational for users in the way that an old hobby forum is up today, but the few people who use it may grow bored of it and stop using it completely. Absolutely zero possibility of growth or expanding the userbase.

>>78927582
It would just be seen as a novelty site for shitposting without being tied to an identity, nobody would bother writing "serious" posts after 25 years of using forums and modern social media. however the concept of an imageboard is so simple i don't really see them *not* appearing at least once in the 2000s

Honestly, I think an even more interesting question would be what the fuck would 4chan look like if it was started by users of some other site like YTMND or Ebaum's instead of Something Awful? A chan culture (if it even still existed) based on Gaiafag humor would be a disturbing timeline.

/DBS/ threads on /a/ are the same thing and get a pass. There is no discussion that goes on in those threads and it's firmly cemented as a shitposting general on a board that used to ban generals outright.

Some of the garbage that gets posted is incredibly funny though. The copypasta about Goku using the dragonballs to turn into a small worm that feasts on Vegeta's shit and smegma is comedy gold.

There are legitimate leaks on 4chan all the fucking time. The problem is more that there are so many fake leaks that nobody pays attention to the real ones. There are legitimate /pol/ leaks, /k/ leaks, /mlp/ leaks, /co/ leaks, /v/ leaks etc.

A videogame leak posted on 4chan that comes to mind is there was actually a guy who posted in a smash thread saying how one of the new fighters was going to be piranha plant and how he uses the pipe as a vehicle of sorts. Nobody paid it any attention in the thread but when he dropped, that post in the archives got something like 300 replies.

>Generals:
If they have a discord, it's injokes and drama. If they don't, it's either a new general, or they used to have a discord and got rid of it, and in either case it'll last less than a year before getting a discord again.
>Any mentions of specific posters:
Discord drama. Especially the avatarfags.
>Coomer threads:
The same small handful of coomers making the same arguments back and forth about whether or not Pokemon are sentient enough to consent, and falseflagging as some long-gone avatarfag who apparently disagreed with them once or something, whenever they run out of sincere posters to argue with. Sometimes they argue about porn tastes instead, probably an extension of arguments spawned in some coom general somewhere (really weird how that's become a "thing" on this site).
>Spammers:
Discord drama. The cynthia vore spammer is actually some discordfag who took over the role from the original for attention.
>Leaks:
A bunch of fake shit dreamed up by children, up until maybe a month or less before the newest release where most of it will still be fake but one or two will be real (real stuff sometimes mixed with fake stuff anyways). Sometimes they'll try to funnel you into their /vp/ discord where they distribute the .nsp once it leaks, so one could argue that "discord drama" occasionally applied even here.
>Genwars:
Discord drama. A couple of shartyfags from some /vp/ discord routinely make up boogeymen supposedly behind every anti-gen _ (changes every time) post and then post about how shit some other gen is in retaliation, they'll even make low-effort fake discords supposedly dedicated to genwars and then screencap it as "proof" to fuel more genwars.

Genuinely one of the most dogshit boards on this entire site. Just discuss Pokemon on /v/, or /vr/, or literally anywhere else, and it will be leagues better. /v/ having better discussion on the topic is honestly the most scathing indictment I can give it, it's absolutely over at that point.

I ran out of characters, but I forgot to mention the board is extremely underage, the average age is probably about 13.5. The leaks have driven a bunch of literal children to /vp/ in particular because it's constantly namedropped, reported on, and content-mined by Poketubers and twitterfags with hundreds of thousands of followers. Most drama there ends up being very uninteresting, immature, and repetitive, and you can tell large swathes of the board's userbase aren't familiar with the rest of the site at all. It's just not really the same as authentic high-energy schizophrenic 4chan drama.

For me it's usually when it's race related for no reason
Like the anons who see some art and say "This person has brown skin" based upon the proportions given to them or start posting crime statics unpromted
That or when they're called out for being a /pol/ fag they usually post a picture about how people blame /pol/ for doing nothing even though most /pol/ fags have those reaction images ready to go
Showing that they are a baiting /pol/ fag

>see a bunch of replies laughing at an image I've seen over 9000 times
>realize that I'm in a diminishingly small demographic of posters
Gets more common every year.

lurk moar, what you are looking at is a seasoned shitposter at work, almost certainly a veteran master of the craft.
either way, that poster is neither new, nor schizophrenic.

I know I should know this namefag, but I can't remember why.

He seems fucking delusional, skimming that thread.

funny he's wandered into wsr

>>78938843
He has been an /s4s/ namefig for a long time. I always thought he was sillyposting and playing a character but maybe not.

I have posted here anonymously for almost 17 years. I may start tripfagging in my posts moving forward to experience the site in a new way. Has anybody trip'd in the past? What was your experience like? Did you get more Yous?

>t. tripfag

>>78938877
Holy fuck. I am not totally persuaded this isn't a schizo.

manic psychosis if you wanna get technical

tripfagging is just asking to be filtered nowadays
avatarfagging is harder to filter though easier to get banned

>>78939508
I would honestly be shocked if even 15% of the userbase nowadays knows how to use a filter or force anonymize other posters. Avatarfagging is shitposting and all who do it deserve death. I refuse to do it. I remember Lanced Jack on /a/.

just use a new tripcode for every post you make to artificially inflate 4chan's user count

Who's right? Who knows!

Thank you mod-sama, very cool.
