Why is this board so fucking DEAD outside of 40k-related threads/generals?
>>
>>49273753

jannies mostly
very small part the shills/bots. This is more a consequence of the former, though
People who try to actually talk about games unironically get banned for it, see the card games thread and the like

Is better to play games than to talk about games. Most issues are very common and already solved and there's no point on using this site as a blog.

Endless waves of world-building threads with no attachment to any actual game or direct input by the OP. Just dumped into the catalog and kept alive for days and weeks.

Who cares I used to want to save this board, until I realized it was an uphill battle where you always lose why should I waste my time to call out shitposters or people who go out of their way to ruin it. At best I realized it, if you want a good time you can troll the fuck out of this board and watch the posts come in. You wont get banned for this infact im pretty sure it encouraged. /tg/ was a top board but recently not so much the posters have plummeted here. Nazi mod killed us but the new mods who took over this place makes him look like Mister Rogers.

>>
>>94210727

People don't really use image boards anymore, it's all Twitter and Discord.

Also the hobby has been highly corporatized which has affected how the younger generation interacts with it, so there's less interest in tentpole franchises like Hasbro-slop or GW - which you just need a general for.
>>
>>94210902
The hobby is not just DnD or 40k your the issue
>>
>>94210807
The dark answer, only 40k threads survive so just shit post 40k shit and laugh. Everything else is sent to a general ghetto or even worse its sent to a general ghetto but you share the ghetto with literally every other wargame

Those wouldn't be an issue if the board was faster. When /tg/ was more lively, people would make dozens of those threads, and it was fine because most would live and die over the span of a few hours, not days.

/tg/ used to have a very "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" approach, and it worked. Sturgeons's Law says that 90% of everything is crud, and /tg/ was no exception, but we had such a volume of posts that the 10% that was good managed to rise to the top. Now, we have less than half the traffic we had even just four years ago, and most non-general threads just get drowned out by people bumping generals with very little real activity in them.

>>94210896
The other image boards are doing fine, and tabletop games have never been as popular as they are now.
>>
>>94210923
This but unironically.
>>94210925
Why would any OP leave? Whenever I make a thread, it's a constantly open tab until its inevitable death. Even if the first few posts are shitposts, I will reply to genuine posts or just post like anyone else talking about the topic at hand.
I've seen honest and genuine questions aimed at the OP completely ignored.
>>
>>94210727
People got sick of tge same retarded DnD bitching topics (alignments, caster balance, broken CR, tieflings, etc) and moved on to better games which have their communities places besides 4chan usually, such as Discord and Twitter.
>>
>>94210727
Honestly I don't see much of a point of using an imageboard to discuss board games or ttrpgs, it's always just trolls trolling trolls.
Which games are better is so subjective and you'll always be limited by your group anyway (unless you play solo, but even the solo thread gets wannabe trolls all the time).
Plus, it's 4chan, too much of the threads will be just /pol/ adjacent or anime shit that's worthless to actual games.
>>
>>94210925
I've seen plenty "worldbuilding" threads where the hostility didn't start until there were a dozen posts engaging with whatever inane topic OP posed. The on-topic posts were effectively ignored for days, while the so-called "anti-discussion" criticisms were jumped on within minutes of being posted.
The "worldbuilders" don't even care about their own topics, so don't even try to play the victim angle, fag.

>The other image boards are doing fine
Are you an actual qboomer or something? Eightchan(this website's name still triggers filters lol) used to be active, now its only active board is qresearch, Kirtaner's schizophrenia killed 420 and even country based chans aren't safe, like kraut got killed and turned into the zombie it's now called kohl
The only exception to this was sharty and it got killed by retarded management after kuz
> tabletop games have never been as popular as they are now.
not really, unless you think critical role pulling views makes them relevant
>>
>>94210947
And in the same way, you see bad faith questions that get answered and then never elaborated on. I can't blame anyone for losing interest if that's the feedback.
We've had some genuinely nice threads these past few weeks, and coincidentally they were the ones where the trolls didn't shit the place up.
>>
>>94210923
Imagine talking about games on the board for games.
>>
>>94210983
Then you will also have seen perfectly fine threads that had ongoing, on topic discussions and then the trolls jumped in without even reading and start spamming their usual one liners.

There is an Eightchan spin off that has a /tg/ but the place is like 3 posts a week tier dead
>>
>>94211005
>>94210990
I used eightchans /tg/ when it started, that placed banned Quests off the rip, in fact I think the only reason 4/tg/ banned quests and made /qst/ was a response to it and then guys just slowly trickled back here
>>
>>94211005
Tarrant's spergout killed the whole website other than qresearch, in its last years other than like 10 boards it wasn't really active anyway but it wasn't completely dead
>>
>>94211020
Yep, people often ignore this very reason why quests got banned, the anti quest posters complained and went there but then all came back when this place banned them.
>>
>>94210995
Every time those guys ask what game and they get an answer, they just stop talking. So they certainly don't want to talk about games.
>>
>>94210727
because you're used to /v/ which is fast paced and short posts. So faggots from /v/ come here, get confused that there's fewer people, mostly older, talking actual shop between the actual games they run and their real world jobs and lives, and then the /v/irgin gets confused by some multi-paragraph post explaining some bit of world building or rules and they call it reddit posting and have a conniption. That's what usually happens. They only know meme posting and brainless spam, and screaming in some twtich chat. Actual forum discussion is slow.

If you don't get it then this isn't a place for you.

He's referrign to the fact that quests were made by creative people, and when they banned quests, the creatives didn't think it was worth the trouble to create shit for the idiots who thought they shouldn't be there....so they didn''t.

The people who hated quests forgot that people who ran and played quests also did other things for and on this board, and when you ostracized them, they felt no need to grace this board with their efforts any longer.

You have the board you all wanted.

Bumpfag did a number on this board and the retard moderator who bullies this place doesn't help either.

Your whine is just wrong though
quests were made by attention seeking faggots who contributed nothing and would be lauded by today's moderation

If questfags played traditional games, they would still stick around for traditional games.
Which is something you can still do all day.
I hate this argument about muh creative people leaving. If they don't play, or run, or design games, they don't belong here anyway.

I understand that the last point always remained the same for /tg/ since it's beginning but posting about actual ttrpgs and the stories that happen within aside have zero relevancy here and that is not the fault of mods, jannies or any specific autists.

/tg/ was killed by the very people that frequent it and there is nothing else to it.

So if quests aren't /tg/, then neither is any other rules-lite, narrative driven system. Moderation needs to adjust accordingly, if this is the case.

>>94210727
1. Primary /tg/ franchises are going to shit. WotC? between Dead&Done and recent '80s horror movies' set? Shit. GW? Constantly splintering their franchises. (Most recent being The Old World, I think.)
2. 4chan itself is going to shit. You want to start a new thread? Wait for 300 seconds. You want to comment? Cloudflare captcha within normal captcha. And then 4chan captcha which are getting more and more aggravating.
3. LOTS of bad faith actors. It's increasingly more difficult to find anything worthy of note between 'hytnpdnd' and 'what game?' crowd.
4. Aging population is leaving the board while younglings (that might include you, OP) are addicted to constant dopamine rush from certain chinese brainwashing app wth two letters T in the name.

>>94211305
You didn't see it because you also posted your tidbit and fucked off. Exchanges of posts do happen. And no, not every thread has to be a hundreds of posts-long discussion. Sometimes questions are asked and they get answered, thread is finished, on to the next.

What this board needs?

More Ribbon. More Cestree.

It's actually amazing how many various aspects of /tg/ could be addressed with that. If you want to restore a sense of community, if you want to encourage a more positive approach towards games, and you want to encourage homegrown memes rather than importing them from Twitter, what could be better than two girls who love games who hail from the Golden Age of /tg/?

It doesn't have to be Ribbon or Cestree, but encouraging people to draw more /tg/ characters and positive memes is vital to this board. Drawfaggotry used to be the lifeblood of this place. And, reposting drawfag images is an easy way to encourage more people to drawfag.

Even if you can only draw stick figures, draw. Draw, and repost.

>>94211084
>that quests were made by creative people
Most weren't, and in general quests had grown incredibly insular and seperate from the rest of /tg/. More importantly, there's no law saying you only can visit one board, so people were and still are able to visit both boards. Your entire logic is nonsense and just self-defeatist bitching.

/qst/ wasn't even made as a punishment. It was a new board with special additional features made in recognition of how popular quests had become, and for a while it wasn't even a containment board, with using it being optional. But, with questers complaining about the slower traffic (there's that self-defeatist bitching again), they changed the policy (and the sticky) so that quests actually became banned on /tg/.

It would have been nice if the mods communicated this all better and they didn't make it seem like they were kowtowing to the anti-quest trolls on this board, but communication has never been 4chan's admins' biggest strength.
>>
When they added all these extra hurdles just to post it kind of killed the whole site. You can see dead ass threads everywhere and when you see a thread that stays up it's either a mods favorite subject, being bumped buy the same 3 people, or either a bot/shill thread. The appeal of this site used to be quick shit posting with the rare actual productive conversations but who in their right mind would want to jump through hoops to post something meaningful for us fucks on this shit site?

All for the sake of ebic win on nerds, with predictable results

40k is more mainstream than the rest. Meaning more hordes of retards infest those threads.
Trust me, most 40k threads currenly are fucking abysmal and will be so for the forseeable future.
There's newfag retards everywhere and it has been confirmed that there is discord server specifically dedicated to raiding and shitting 40k threads both in- and outside of /tg/.

They never did.
Especially /pol/, those fags regularly flood 40k threads.
>>
>>94210727
The board functionally started as a 40k board. The feedback cycle of tg memes spreading 40k across the internet and back again only continued that trend. I'm a grog, and the idea of a 40k "secondary" was kind of preposterous back in the day. We liked the fluff, sure, but the game was the core of the fandom. The idea that someone would sit around arguing about the Horus Heresy while having never put together a *single* space marine was absurd. Post Dawn Of War though, there were tons of people who only knew 40k as a fiction setting, rather than a game setting. I suspect this is why there was such a shift to "The Narrative" too, though that might have had early antecedents with efforts to ape White Wolf and Vampire.
Anyway, all that is to say that this is a niche board based primarily around 40k, and most people who come here so so for 40k. I'd love it if there was a crazy active Unhallowed Metropolis general or thread dedicated solely to hacks of Aces & Eights or something, but that's just not how things are.

I don't quite think we have that problem, but I do see your point.
And the other threads around are pretty lame. Like another anon said, shitty, detached worldbuilding threads galore, d&d, 40k, and tons of generals.
But, as a guy who's pretty much just here for GURPS, what else is here for me? Not (usually) interested in d&d or warhammer talk. So generals make sense to a degree.

I have no problem with the kind of threads being started, I have a problem with the attitude of some posting inside them.

It doesn't make them bad threads either.

Yes, there are some bad faith actors just making deliberately shitty threads, but I've seen trolls going into any thread that doesn't specify a system and complaining about that.

There's nothing wrong with discussing general settings, in no small part because of games like GURPS. I personally primarily play homebrew games, so that means the "everything needs to be in a general" culture that people like you are trying to establish as extremely offensive.

>>94215110
Yes, people can ignore things they don't like. They can also discuss the things they don't like, and talk about why they don't like them. Often, people can enjoy discussing a product they dislike with like-minded people more than they enjoy using a product that they do like. This is nothing new. There are clay tablets from thousands of years ago where people are making fun of a play that they thought was bad. What are you trying to accomplish by asking people to stop talking about things they dislike? Do you expect us to believe that you have never criticized a product?
>>
lmao, is bumpfag shitting up the thread after being called out one too many times?
>>
>>94215115
Ignoring bumpfag false flagging, noone is against discussion threads. The objection is that theres no discussion in the threads because the threads are made ingenuinely and with bad intentions. A simple question about system or setting is an instant filter for which threads have a genuine purpose and which dont. The fact that its almost none of them just speaks to how poor the quality of the board and its moderation has become

You are not the one to judge that. You are not the one who decides, largely because you seem to be clearly wrong and have a weird vendetta against more generalized threads, and that's actually quite dangerous to /tg/.

If you don't like a thread, don't post in it. Make a thread about something you want to discuss instead. In the past, that was the solution, and this board ran at a right clip so that threads lived and died in as little as two hours.

>A simple question about system or setting is an instant filter for which threads have a genuine purpose and which dont.
This is both false and just a passive aggressive way for people to shitpost. For starters, a lot of topics are not specific to any single system, and getting viewpoints from different people who play different systems is a great way to encourage discussion.

If all you want /tg/ to be is a place for people to ask system-specific questions and get system-specific answers, they don't need discussions for that. Have you heard of a website called Google?

Joking aside, that some people think this way is a huge problem.
Even when talking about a specific system, people don't necessarily run them the exact way or with the exact same content, and even excluding homebrewed content and other modifications, two people playing the same exact system may very well be playing unique systems.

It's like the shitposters demanding system purity in discussions have no idea how RPGs even work.

If they wanted to talk about different approaches to using specific systems, people could debate and argue and discuss for days. They don't though. It's not a matter of people being shy or cautious about mentioning their personal methods for running and playing games. It's because they aren't playing shit. They aren't writing a campaign setting.

No, they couldn't. That sounds like a chore, not a discussion.

If you told me I'd have to debate and argue with you, about any specific RPG system, for days or leave, I'd leave. The very idea sounds like torture, though that's largely because you sound like a pedantic little shit.

Luckily, I don't have to laborious force discussion about specific systems, like they do in the zombie generals that limp around this board, with people desperately pretending there's still life in them. If I have an idea that I want to include in one of the many games I'm currently either running or playing in, or perhaps in even several of those games, I don't need to say "ONLY PEOPLE WHO PLAY THIS HOMEBREW SYSTEM NEVER SHOWN ON THIS BOARD MAY ENTER THIS THREAD."

People who think the drawfags and writefags were driven off because of quests are gormless subhumans who don't realize that all of those creatives left /tg/ because being an active users around here was suicide for anyone who wanted to build a following and a good reputation on sites like Twitter and Tumblr which spiked in popularity around the time that 4chan and the other imageboards were being recast in the public eye as the neo-nazi/alt-right terrorist powderkeg that would destroy America.

Which is all very obvious if you were here and paying attention at any point over the last 15 or so years. Newfags don't know what kind of damage was done by The Fappening or just how bad /mlp/ and /lgbt/ permafucked this whole fucking site. Let alone shit like Hiromoot hiring almost nothing but discord trannies who frequently talk about how much they have always hated this site and how they want to kill it so all the oldfags go away.

>without resorting to "muh anonymoose trollings"
Ah, but that's the heart of the issue, and you're trying to pretend it isn't.

The reason the board is dying is not just because people are choosing to ignore threads, it's because of trolls shitposting with impunity, under the misguided notion that they are free to harass any thread they dislike that isn't a general.

The "WHAT SYSTEM?" trolling is just one choice among several, but it's the easiest to spam because most non-general threads won't specify a system, because otherwise they would just be posting in that systems general. If it's someone making a D&D thread that isn't specific to 5e, it's some variation of "STOP PLAYING D&D."

Funnily enough, if the topic doesn't specify a system but does align with the trolls personal views, he somehow forgets to spam "WHAT SYSTEM?". But, of course, there's going to be some other troll who decides that he personally dislikes that topic, so it's open season for shitspamming.

Whatever form of trolling you personally think is justified, that's the same kind of nonsense logic that the other trolls are using to discourage the threads they personally don't like. Rather than encouraging discussion, we just have roving trolls deciding "It is I who determines what belongs on this board, and I will shitpost at anything I disagree with," without really appreciating how much diversity there is in their negativity.

When shitposting like this happens, it doesn't make it so that only good threads remain. Thanks to how subjective that question really is, it just leaves us with no threads. No threads, except for insular generals, slowly dying.

What I'm talking about is really just a change in understanding, and not letting you trolls imagine that anyone actually thinks you're doing good for this board by selectively shitspamming while acting under the pretension that you're preserving this board's purity.

Trolling has always been against this boards rules. It's even against this websites rules; it's only supposed to be permitted in /b/.

The key issue is that our trolls, like yourself, imagine that they deserve the benefit of the doubt extended to them, but not extended towards people doing things like making threads for discussions, and solely because they don't like the topics of those threads.

>Flooding the site with low effort threads
Except that's not what's happening. The very opposite, actually.

We're flooded by High-Effort OP generals. Very high effort in the OP, but then the generals are just bumped for days and now weeks with very little actual discussion.

Back in the day, the glory days of /tg/, people made threads constantly. Quick threads. Joke threads. Threads about a single idea. Threads did not have to all start with four paragraphs, some started with only a single word.

The problem we have now, and what you are helping to contribute to, is the stupid idea that "High effort=Good", when all that does is make this place slow and tedious. And, when someone wants to make a quick thread these days, they are hounded by trolls who demand high effort, which really does nothing but make this a place filled with trolls willing to put in that high effort and no one else.

This is an image board. It's not Reddit.

Aside from having been there, I actually recently went back and looked at old /tg/ archives. That's largely what made me realize what the modern issue is.

Back then, we had a sense of irrelevance and impermanence, and that came in part because if you weren't on the first few pages, your thread was basically dead. Aside from the original bump limit being less than half of what it is now and the absence of the catalog, there was a much greater sense of freedom and the desire to experiment.

Now? If it's not a general, it's harassed. Anything new or different or even just short is attacked. It's one of the reasons why 40k threads are still made at a pretty decent clip, because the 40k crew feel entirely justified in making short threads as long as they slap 40k somewhere on them. The rest of the board should be encouraged to experience that same level of freedom, without needing to justify themselves to the "WHY ARE YOU NOT POSTING IN A GENERAL?!" trolls who are trying to kill this board.

But yeah, I kinda wish we could go back to the good ol'e days where it was less about how modern /pol/ talk is infesting our games and more about answering the important questions, such as how to make a computer made out of skeletons or how many spiders can fit in a drow's vagina or something.

Then again, I dunno what counts as "Good ol'e days" now a days.

Wrong.
You imagine when you shitpost, you're doing it "right". That your tastes are correct. And, they even might be, hypothetically speaking in a universe with correct tastes.

But, other trolls, following the same logic but with different tastes, harass and shitpost in other threads that are /tg/ material, but material they personally just dislike. And the result? A board filled with shitposting trolls, all who imagine THEY are the ones who are correct, when in reality none of them are.

People are already giving exactly that. The threads would be deleted otherwise. Giving the "thinnest pretense" is what people, including the people you and even I disagree with, have been doing.

You're making the mistake of imagining that the walls this board needs is the ridiculously stupid demand that a specific game must be mentioned.

All that does is cut the board up and lower the amount of people who can participate in a particular thread. Worse still, it's nonsense that doesn't actually determine any sort of quality. A thread that specifies a system can be a hundred times worse than a thread that doesn't, and yet you're hoping to construct the illusion that the real "thinnest pretense" needed to make a thread is a specified game.

It's so stupid.

The "thinnest pretense" is meaningless and worthless. Right now, it's "has to be related to anything even remotely related to traditional games", but you're making the mistake of imagining that it should be "must be related to a specific traditional game" as if that's a much higher hurdle.

Any troll can slap "40k" on their thread to hit that "thinnest pretense" marker, and in the past we had literal floods of "How would [Something off-topic I want to talk about] fare in 40k?" threads.

Making "specific game must be mentioned" as the mark of what makes a thread good or not (or /tg/ or not) is so fucking stupid I'm amazed that our trolls have actually even attempted to push that idea. It's really just an easy way to harass threads that are outside of generals.

What I want to know is how they can live with the knowledge that people were right

Well, I can say part of that was me watching maybe a good dozen or so vids about how 5e is both absurdly popular and downright terrible in some aspects. I wouldn't actually go to a 5e thread and say that in actuality. Hells, I wouldn't even look at a 5e thread at all unless it's SOMETHING interesting.
Though, the closest thing I may have personal interest that's 5e related is that one D&D movie that came out recently (actually kinda fun), and BG3 (which I may eventually grab).

But yeah, I'm not exactly a threat to most D&D / 5e stuff other then... "Oh, that sounds interestin'".
Yeah, I don't see myself getting any actual interest in 5e... ...till I grab BG3 (so I can understand the systems and all)

There's two of these threads on /tg/ right now. Where us sad, melancholic posters are lamenting the state of our board.

I propose to go even further, it's not just /tg/, I don't know how many of you go to the other boards but really I feel they're just as bad. A lot of the boards out there are full of shit, dead, or on life support. I think if you asked anyone on any board they'd tell you the same, "/x/ isn't what it used to be", "/his/ isn't what it used to be", "/int/ isn't what it used to be".

People talk about demoralisation threads there. Well fa/tg/uys & ca/tg/irls, I welcome you, /tg/ is the first demoralisation board! Can we all get a round of applause?

The fact that the mods and janitors refuse to do anything about it, while arbitrarily enforcing other rules, speaks to a level of incompetence AND malice that explains how it got this bad, but doesn't offer any good way to fix it.

What is there to encourage? I don't want to participate in a slew of milquetoast setting threads, and clearly no one else does either. Discussion is a two-way street and I'm not beholden to the maker of these threads. It's like you're demanding I give my time and energy for these threads while the OP chooses not to recipocate my efforts.

I will not take responsibility for someone else's low effort posts. Imagine if I poured my soul out in a '/tg/ makes a setting' thread and made one of the greatest fantasy settings ever, only for it to be bumped long after everyone else lost interest with a superficial question like 'What are the demons like' or for the setting to never be used for anything again.

Alright, you know what?

Here's the deal.

Link me to these 'thorough debunk'. Quote the specific points that prove me wrong. In fact, if you feel the need to elaborate on a quoted point, or cite sources, do that too.

If you can do so to the point where I feel any doubt, I'll stop maintaining the idea that the removal of quests killed /tg/.

>If you can do so to the point where I feel any doubt,

I sincerely hope that the person talking to you doesn't fall for your bait and wastes any more time on you. You're a delusional shitposter, and nothing could ever convince you, hence why you so easily issued that challenge.

You're really a piece of shit.

Hell, I feel great sympathy for the Questers, and back when this board was the best place for Quests, I really despised the trolls that kept trying to get quests removed from here. I also think it's a shame that the mods made no real effort to not make it look like they were kowtowing to the trolls, aside from giving extra features to the new board and not making it actually a containment board at first.

But your bullshit about "removing quests is why /tg/ sucks" just distracts from the real issues, and your insane idea of "Removing Quests removed all the talented people from /tg/!" is so stupid and false that it's the reason I can so easily mark you as delusional.

You're never going to stop being retarded. No one can convince you to stop being butthurt. But, as you can clearly see, everyone else can see right through you and how you're just making the problem worse by trying to blame everything on a dead issue that didn't really impact the board at all. Quests were never really that big of a thing here, and their absence likewise didn't do much. Ultimately, once a new board was made for them, /tg/ stopped being the best board for quests, so there's no reason to keep crying like some wounded victim.

If you really hate the trolls who harassed quests, don't fucking assist them in further killing this board.

I was actually being slightly genuine, though I assumed he wouldn't actually take me up on the offer because A) that would take effort and anon's just a shitposter, and B) I did read through the thread, and nobody made any convincing arguments. 'lol no u rong' is not an argument.

I've been on and off of /tg/ since it basically started. I was here when quests got big, and then too big, and then banned. I was even here afterward, and I've felt the decline along with most people who were here.

While it's entirely possible that something else happened around the near exact same time quests were banned, somehow coincidentally completely unrelated happened that also made /tg/ shit, but from my personal experience that's the only event that could be called the 'cause' of the decline.

I mean, I guess it could be that exclusionary trolls who wanted to kick out everything they didn't like saw the win, and started trying to do the same to everything else they didn't like? But I haven't seen anything that's convinced me otherwise. Nothing that trumps my personal experience, anyway.

I mean, I do see the sincerity in your post, and that's why I'm responding with more than a troll. I'm being sincere as well. /tg/ stopped being fun for me not *because* quests were banned, but *when* quests were banned. And so that's what I say when it becomes relevant.

You forgot about the period before they were banned, when /qst/ was optional.

>that's the only event that could be called the 'cause' of the decline.
Jesus christ, you really are delusional. How the fuck can you look at 2016, and forget what other major event took place on 4chan?

I'll give you a minute.

Fuck you, I'll just tell your 8-year slow ass. THE 2016 ELECTION. /POL/ RAIDS EVERY DAY, POLITICAL SPAM ON EVERY SINGLE BOARD, WITH /TG/ BEING NO EXCEPTION. Where the fuck were you? Too busy complaining about how slow /qst/ was, until the mods finally decided to misguidedly try helping you out by forcing the people still making quests on /tg/ to move?

Between 2016 and 2017, /pol's population went from around 75k to over 150k, when in previous years it had hovered around 40k. That huge influx of people changed a lot of this website, especially on small boards like /tg/ with a population rarely going over 20k. 2016 was a bad year for us, but not because of /qst/, and ultimately as far as population goes /tg/ had largely recovered by 2017 and saw similar numbers and cycles to before the election (and before /qst/). The board had changed, and for the negative, but that's because 4chan as a whole had changed. Even so, the crisis we're facing now? That didn't start until mid-2021, and that is where we need to look at and ask "What changed?"

/pol/ isn't just right wing, retard. Some of the biggest and dumbest faggots come from there, which is why I'm surprised you didn't know that, you glitter-shitting queer.
