Why were so few threads archived on sup/tg/ this year? Compared to 2019 and even last year, there are so few.
Newfags don't know it exists.Oldfag don't see anything worth preserving.Nowadays "epic" threads get turned into a redit screencap or youtube text-to-speech video.
>>97134091How many people even remember that site or how to use it?
>>97134091/tg/'s had the majority of its audience moderated away, and the ones that weren't have left.The only reason I'm here is for the complaining.
>>97134091when everything gets archived nothing is
>general-ification of most of the board ends up tucking interesting discussion topics into dedicated threads where fewer creative minds get to see them>quest threads gone>lack of moderation of dogshit/bot threads, or of people intentionally shitting up real threads, for the sake of appearing more active than it really is, at any cost>high volume of disingenuous posters who refuse to engage with concepts>unknowable but non-zero volume of posters who create threads just to farm engagement for future youtube videosIf anything it's more astonishing that seemingly inertia alone is keeping /tg/, and frankly most of 4chan, alive
Most of the actual posters never came back from whatever discord servers or altchans they found to hang out on after the hack.
>>97134417It's still leagues better than any mainstream reddit like community. I'd take a bit too little moderation than too much moderation.
>>97134476I don't even browse the Leddit equivalents of /tg/ or my other hobby horses, but I have to imagine you're right. Mostly just pisses me off that things here could be better with not much more effort, and yet here things standAt least the nature of chan discussions makes it harder for AI faggotry to slip through unnoticed
>>97134502Those places are terrible for the same reason this place has gone to the dogs, lazy and egotistical moderation. Only problem is, moderation being shite is normalized over on reddit outside of that one really hilarious crashout on the art reddit.
>>97134091Everything is already archived on desu, but it's not like we're getting any good threads these days anyways.
>>97134476>/tg/>too little moderationThis board has more moderators than most other boards on 4chan.
>>97134680Maybe not currently, we seem to be at a bit of a lull right now, but it was very overzealous before.
>>97134680I’m not complaining about the moderation. I was just telling him my opinion of why I like it here.
>>97134525>that one really hilarious crashout on the art reddit.Wassat about? Got a QRD link?
>>97134091Why archive a million+ autist and AI generated threads all repeatedly asking the same six questions over and over?
>>97134680Suspend their pay until the board improves!!!
The last time I thought about suptg was probably before COVID, and the last time I saw a thread on /tg/ worth archiving was further back than that.
>>97134091There's not much more to archive. The ship has set sail for Valinor. Better to be glad it was ever here than sad it is gone.
>>97134091besides the obvious answer of "nothing worth archiving," a lot of people have just forgotten about suptg, and any modern happenings are more likely to be small detours in generals than entire threads of win, so are better preserved in screencaps.>>97135980yeah, pretty much.
>>97134476If Reddit actually had moderation, it might be a good website.
>>97135949>pay
>>97134127Yep, niggerberdia and its consequence managed to coupe de grace this board more effectively than culture war shit. The majory of thread shitted in the catalog are nowadays inconsequential vague questions with a random picure attached which doesn't help for shit in recovering trust and enticing anons in engaging constructively but are good for the site in giving a semblance of board activity so the situation will never be reversed.
>>97136057This.suptg had its heyday during the questing on /tg/ era, and we're I think almost a decade past that. Who is going to use that site anymore when /tg/ is nothing but your standard generals, arguing, and spam?
>>97134844Normally I'd say check yourself, but since this is already a meta thread, might as well show how much worse it could be>https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1p6zjat/rart_mod_permanently_banned_artist_for_breaking_a/Have fun, anon
>>97136211Facts. Fuck Neckbeardia.
>>97140790you'd think someone would have gotten his channel taken down at some point for all the complaining.
>>97141141On what grounds? Poor taste is not a crime.
>>97134680and none of them do anything except occasionally deleting something they don't like
>>971411414chan isn't anyone's personal army, that's why.
>>97134680You're thinking of /v/. This place is massively undermoderated by people who don't actually understand any of this army men and elfgame nonsense. Which is why there's so many terrible threads and so few legitimately game-oriented discussions.
>>97147672People that wanted to actually talk about games in the earnest left this place years ago. If someone were to start purging everything that isn't meaningfully game-oriented, you wouldn't get the topical discussion back, you'd get an empty board. Which is why they aren't gonna do it, because as far as the management is concerned some traffic is better than no traffic.
>>97147728>some traffic is better than no trafficBringing quests back would assuredly increase traffic.
>>97147769Unlikely to happen, because that would be low key admitting creation of /qst/ was a mistake.
>>97147769>stapling a dead board onto a dying boardYou're kind of dumb. /tg/'s main problem is people bumping dead threads for tiny cliques or even just individuals, and quests are that problem in its purist form.>>97147832Making /qst/ wasn't a mistake though. The mistake was the poor communication that made the trolls who hated quests to imagine it was a victory on their part, rather than a recognition of the growth of the quest community. It originally was an optional trial board, and it wasn't until questers kept making non-stop complaints about that board on /tg/ that it became mandatory for all quests to go there.The mistake was letting trolls imagine that the mods had sided with them, which encouraged /tg/'s trolls to subsequently become some of the worst and most entitled trolls on this website, and ultimately eventually lead to the mods actually encouraging their behavior. Putting quests back on /tg/ wouldn't solve that problem, and just introduce more dead threads to sift through.>>97134155This is the essential truth. /tg/'s hard collapse started in the middle of 2021, when a particular mod started to go apeshit on this board, almost always siding with trolls and just letting the board's population fall to less than half of what it was throughout most of its history.There was a brief moment where it seemed like the mod was gone and /tg/ was going to be able to start to recover, but the mod's telltale signatures started reoccurring and the board is now continuing in its death spiral.The only way to reverse the trend would require a radical paradigm shift and a change in the moderation's attitude, but almost consistently the mods have proven to make the worst decisions, over and over again. It's a shame, because for rare periods it does seem like there's a mod who's actually doing good for the board, but those periods don't last long.
>>97147832>that would be low key admitting creation of /qst/ was a mistakeAnd there you see the point of my post: to reveal the inconsistency and hypocrisy of those involved with the quarantine. People tend to say a thing without realizing, or with hopes nobody else will realize, that thing being true would facilitate the existence or return of quests to either /tg/ or split amongst relevant home boards.A common example is the sentiment that "we don't need other boards".Anime or Manga discussion, without any applicable game discussion? We don't need other boards. Same goes for comics and cartoons.History discussion, in regards to our world history and no regards to playing or designing games? Doesn't matter, we don't need other boards. Weapons discussion unfortunately devolves into history lectures too, without a single word on how to apply them to games or even how to apply fantasy touch to them.Literature? We don't need /lit/, /lit/ sucks, post it here with aplomb. Double goes for the eternally nogames worldbuilding ideas and setting questions.Television and film? Same as the rest. Post it here, you don't need to talk about how any of it is applicable to any sort of games.Video games are fairly hated here, so much so that the mere suggestion of mechanics in a TTRPG makes people hallucinate controllers in their hands, but the few who defend video game discussion with no direct relation to tabletop will invoke Commander Keen.But quests? You know, the collaborative narrative games with actual mechanics on the level of rules-lite games like PbtA, RoS, BitD, Risus, etc? Suddenly it's all screeching that they belong in containment, or worse, outright history revisionism. We DO need other boards where quests are concerned./qst/ was a mistake, and the powers that be will never rectify it, nor even acknowledge it. Not even with a simple apology. It's easier to rationalize with hypocritical logic, and when that logic is blown apart, the facts will be ignored.
/tg/ is dying
>>971479174chan on track for dead by 2030
>>97134417Every time someone posts something about a game that has a general outside of that general, people complain and shit up the thread. I agree that it would be nice for people to post outside of generals so that people could cross-post, generate some OC, etc., but 99% of this board is completely unusable and shit and it seems a lot of people want it to stay that way. If I want to post a battle report about a game of Warhammer Fantasy I played, why would I post it outside of /wfg/ when the people who aren't actively reading /wfg/ wouldn't be interested in the first place?
>>971483624chan has been dead since it soaked up all of the festering sludge that drained out of Reddit when the lanced their Trump board.
>>97147917>Making /qst/ wasn't a mistake though.They took the largest source of OC and shunted it to a dead board. All because they wanted 40k, MTG and DnD to monopolize /tg/.It's actually insane how so many people thought that would be a good idea. So many good quests died and QM's fled the site after that.
>>97134091Hardly anything new is created anymore, haven't you noticed? A lot of places are just recycling 2000s culture
>>97148362This website could stand to lose 90% of the users and maybe people could stop replying to bait
>>97148521>They took the largest source of OC That's pure bullshit and I won't deign to take you seriously if you try to double down on that.Quests existed in their own space, and anything they made was kept in their own internal and insular worlds apart from not just the rest of the board, but from each other. Calling quests a source of OC, let alone the largest, is forgetting that each quest only catered to a tiny subsection of a tiny subsection of a tiny subsection of the population and innately erected barriers that discouraged new people from participating as soon as a second thread was made.It's like trying to claim a party you hosted for three friends as a charity event for a tax write-off.Sure, quests generated a lot of material if you just want to count the raw tonnage of words and images generated, but almost none of it had any lasting qualities and even less of it mattered beyond the individual quest. Calling that the largest source of OC goes beyond patting yourself on the back and straight into jerking yourself off.
>>97150723>Quests existed in their own space, and anything they made was kept in their own internal and insular worlds apart from not just the rest of the board, but from each other...so like individual threads, then?4chan is driven by user interaction; the jokes, stories and conversations we have with each other. If you don't like a thread, hide it. Do you know what drives down user interaction? Excluding what kinds of threads are allowed and what things we can talk about.Over-moderation and thought policing dramatically reduced traffic in /tg/, which is reflected in the archival of threads at subtg.You should be proud. You did the one thing most trolls tried to accomplish but never did: you shit up an entire board.
>>97152283Dude, shut the fuck up, you talk like a faggot.>..so like individual threads, then?No. You're thinking of insulated generals, which have become the death of this board by destroying any sense of persistent community and replaced it with a stagnant repetition of the same repeated threads endlessly bumped by guys eager to jerk themselves off at the expense of the rest of the board.Rather than competing on the basis of quality or how much interest they genuinely generate, the majority of threads now are just pet projects bumped for the sake of being bumped, making it next to impossible for any non-troll threads to get any traction in between the general threads that clog up the board.In the early years of /tg/, there was a sense of board-wide community, where threads were not isolated worlds. Ideas were shared and spread between threads, and /tg/ even developed a brief reputation as "untrollable" because of how strong the community was, with even moot calling us one of the "good boards". Now, any non-general thread is usually bombarded by a half-dozen troll posts from different people with their own unique interpretations on how its a bad thread, and the worst posters on this board are also the loudest.Quests haven't even been a relevant point of discussion for almost a decade now, and you can stop bringing up that pointless distraction as if they ever had any impact on the larger board beyond RubyQuest. Before /qst/, I was more than happy to agree that some quests did belong on /tg/, but after /qst/ that clearly became the best board for them. If you really care about /tg/ instead of just being someone bitter about quests no longer having access to the larger community that /tg/ represented, you should stop always trying to derail discussions on how to improve /tg/ with your dead non-starter shit about quests and how you imagine they were far more important than they were.
>>97150723This. Quests were just clutter for people who were actually here to talk about games but questfags will never stop seething that a source of (you)s for them is gone.
>>97148521If all that OC was worthwhile, /qst/ would be thriving.In any case, last time I checked the people who still use /qst/ prefer to be separate from /tg/.
>>97153255Quests weren't a problem while they were here. They may have subjectively added "clutter" to the board, but this still was largely the best board for them->(though the argument that specifically themed quests could have stayed on different boards, like /a/ quests on /a/, /v/ quests on /v/, instead of all of them going to /tg/, was not a bad alternative option)-and back then a few scattered insular threads were not huge issue, especially not compared to the anti-quest trolls.
>>97136211It didn't have to affect us, was it really worth killing the board over?
>>97148061For an opposing perspective, /tg/ has been hamstrung by posters that have made their default low effort reply "For which setting/system?" type questions to anyone post trying to inspire discussion in order to drive those posters away. During the "we don't need other boards" heyday /tg/ was the defacto sci-fi and fantasy board >Anime or Manga discussion, without any applicable game discussion?Most of the Anime/Manga discussion that occurred on /tg/ was focused on sci-fi/fantasy series that drew inspiration from TTRPGs or old school CRPGs that were trying to emulate TTRPGs.>History discussion, in regards to our world history and no regards to playing or designing games? Doesn't matter, we don't need other boards. Weapons discussion unfortunately devolves into history lectures too, without a single word on how to apply them to games or even how to apply fantasy touch to them.Considering that a large swath of /tg/'s wargame origin was built on reenactment. This complaint is very hollow. You are to obsessed with mechanical detail rather than accepting the possibility that information was being spread to give others inspiration.>Literature? We don't need /lit/, /lit/ sucks, post it here with aplomb. Double goes for the eternally nogames worldbuilding ideas and setting questions.>Television and film? Same as the rest. Post it here, you don't need to talk about how any of it is applicable to any sort of games.Other boards were notoriously bad at properly supporting general sci-fi and fantasy discussion. /tg/'s downturn seriously began when posters likely you started obsessing over "gaming" and attacking any non-gaming discussion rather than accepting the board's defacto sci-fi/fantasy theme. Without the general sci-fi/fantasy and related discussion the board was left with the far more limited topics of tabletop gaming.
>>97147917>You're kind of dumb. /tg/'s main problem is people bumping dead threads for tiny cliques or even just individuals, and quests are that problem in its purist form.The difference, that you refuse to acknowledge, is that quests are fucking games akin to roleplay on a forum. The same sort of creative effort that goes into a rpg also apply to a quest. Some quests even used gameplay mechanics and worldbuilding idea that /tg/ came up with, turning them into testing grounds for ideas.>>97153666I remember there was a time when inter-board quests were a thing. That was a long time ago.
>>97134127>We don't have epic conversations anymore cause someone might copy it.>We don't have epic threads anymore cause the board sucks and everyone who made coming this place worth anything departed long ago for the websites we claim to hate but browse anyway.
>>97134155>>97147917Pretty much, the problem has always been when a group doesn't gatekeep and the woke are able to get in as mods. They are unable to do their job and just abuse the shit out of their power trying to push their view and ban and censor those they disagree with. Hell half of the problems we have going on is we let a group of people have a officall power and they abuse the shit out of it and we don't just kick them out. In sites it just slowly kills them. (Bigger sites like 4chan and reddit take longer. However been to many small ones that basically once one or two woke fucks become a mod or the mods just allow the woke stay for too long just kills the board.This is why I think in a 10 years time we going to have most social media dead due to government overreach and mostly everything will be underground member only sites. You can't let normies in most things, they tend to attact the woke commies and the government.
>>97153789Yes
>>97154961>It's the woke's faultYou /pol/fags are ridiculous, any moderator that bans you for being off topic you call woke.Stop seething about niggers so much.
>>97154258>/tg/ has been hamstrung by posters that have made their default low effort reply "For which setting/system?"I've only ever seen this reply levied at low effort threads.>trying to inspire discussionlol noMost of the time, OP doesn't offer his own thoughts on his own topics, and anyone responding in earnest to those threads is ignored. The irony is that calling them out on what they do gets more engagement than responding to the thread's subject.I know this because I used to waste hours on end organizing my thoughts into earnest responses, only to get no discussion out of it.Discussion is an exchange of ideas. If one side isn't ponying up their ideas, it isn't a discussion. How many times do I need to explain this?If you have a problem with low effort, you should take issue with those kinds of threads....but you don't.>Most of the Anime/Manga discussion that occurred on /tg/ was focused on sci-fi/fantasy series that drew inspiration from TTRPGs or old school CRPGs that were trying to emulate TTRPGs.Every quest that occurred on /tg/ was focused on sci-fi/fantasy that drew inspiration from TTRPGs or old school CRPGs that were trying to emulate TTRPGs.But ignore that.>You are to obsessed with mechanical detail rather than accepting the possibility that information was being spread to give others inspiration.*tooYou are too obsessed with defending your off-topic and low quality threads to accept the possibility that quests were also largely inspirational.>Other boards were notoriously bad at properly supporting general sci-fi and fantasy discussion./qst/ is notoriously bad at properly supporting quests.But ignore that.>the board's defacto sci-fi/fantasy themeThis "defacto theme" isn't a consistent standard for everything suitable to that theme, unfortunately.The only thing your post demonstrates is the active hypocritical stance that opposes completely on-topic games and supports off-topic or tangentially on-topic idea leeching.
>>97149629Oh man the board made up of millennials in their early 40's who last felt alive in the 00's is stuck on 00's culture and has their creativity sapped out of them by middle-aged monotony. What a shocker.
>>97148395I get that, it's chicken versus egg at this point. I wish the community itself were better, I guess, so people being retarded faggots (as you admit we see most of the time when someone makes a post beyond a general thread) would be gatekept harder. Generals are a symptom and response to another cause that makes general spam necessary imoI'm not even sure if it's 2016 or eternal summer or what the root problem is now, if it can even be monocausal or close to it. It's all so tiresome, Anon
>>97154282It's an anonymous board retard. There are no fucking cliques, you high school-brained loser.
>>97155033>Don't expose us, that's not allowed just accept us fucking everything up.No dumbass, the fact too many people let you and yours into our groups ,sites, etc till you infect and start ruinning everything from the inside needs to be called out. Though those who don't learn can suffer till they do. I mean you guys bitch and moan till you made everything woke and gay. We can bitch and moan till we get you all fired and out of our IPs and sites. (As well as stop supporting the companies that align with your commie ass.)
>>97155545I like how this topic just oozes this assumed presumption that you are one of us. I got news for you, bud. You are just as unwelcome as any blue-hair.
>>97155545Fuck off, /pol/fag.Stop seething about niggers so much and go back to your reddit trumpsite.
>>97155530Are you responding to the correct person?
>>97155577lol no. Forgive me. I'm drunk.
>>97134091The culture war is killing the internet in general. 2016 was just the start, but it never stopped. Every single thread just becomes a battlefield for whatever /pol/ or anti-/pol/ issue any 1 or 2 dedicated schizos wants to make a fuss about.Part of it is 40k being a moth lamp for those types, but a lot of it is that arguing about lore is free and thus there are A LOT of unemployed people here whose lives suck and they take it out on everyone else.
>>97148521Retarded seasonal anime fanfiction is not OC. If you take off the rose colored glasses you'd know that 90% of quests were just that
>>97155545Good on you for telling like it is, but there's no use reasoning with these people. They didn't get to where they are with reason. It's useless to attach ourselves to public IPs that are inherently built on a foundation of sand: any paycheck, any promise of a loan, any amount of public pressure, causes them to collapse and fold immediately. The best thing to do is make OC that suits you, in whatever medium that is, and stop engaging with these faggots on their own terms. Creating things for the sake of creation is rewarding, and I've found some success doing it, and no hedge fund backed me on my way getting there. If I can do it, you can, too.
So are quests good or bad
>>97156024Most quests are bad, because most of everything on 4chan (and perhaps life in general) is bad. There was a handful of good one, often associated with drawfags and other creative types. So when quests had to go they went with them. So did noticeble part of "silent majority" of lurkers and irregular participants.Current drawthread is over 1 month old. At peak of moot era there would be two a day, full 300+ posts varying quality but made in earnest. Them's the numbers, I'll let you draw your own conclusion what those numbers mean.
>>97155545t. underageb& when Trump took office
>>97155806>Retarded seasonal anime fanfiction is not OC. Some of the best content in SupTG began as fanfiction. Not every thread needs to cater to you.

Where content thrives. >A true /tg/ is out thereYou just have to leave this shitburg to find it.
>>97156024Quests were so so, They're a dead board over yonder if you want to see them. The Anti-brigading / trolling rules and various things to dismantle board culture that happened along with that worked. Turning /tg/ into a series of generals, Even those generals have gone to shit under incompetant admin. >IncompetantRemember that 'consensus-busting' guide that used to be posted and had 'fill the site with absolute shit so people stop posting' in there? Funny how that fits, >Even the con/tg/ainment board is deadgo find a better /tg/, hell a better anywhere. This board has neither numbers nor genuine people.
>>97152516>In the early years of /tg/, there was a sense of board-wide community, where threads were not isolated worlds.You're fucking retarded. Threads were always isolated worlds. The only continuity that existed between boards came in the form of screenshots and old memes. Everything else was temporary and disappeared within short order, which is how the boards were initially designed. This is what justified the creation of suptg in the first place. You think I'm the same person who brings this shit up because you are trying to anticipate the people who come here; you have attached your ego to these conversations like a tripfaggot of olde and attempted to create a pecking order on an anonymous fucking imageboard.So yes, you are killing this board and you should feel bad about it. >Quests haven't even been a relevant point of discussion for almost a decade now,It marked the decline of /tg/, killed quests and things have only gotten worse from there.
>>97157242It's humorous how you time and time again see leftists and conservatives banned, and then come to the conclusion that it's a leftist bias.
>>97152516Generals are bad ideas because the longer anons camp out in them, the more cliques start to build up and long standing anons think of the generals as "their" space, defending it like reddit mods. Generals are the antithesis of a free flowing anonymous concept like 4chan and should never have been allowed.
>>97157490If poltards didnt have their persecution fetish, they'd have nothing at all
>>97157296Weren't you just told to stop talking like a fag?>Threads were always isolated worlds. No. There are no walls between threads. There is no ownership. People and ideas are supposed to be able to freely flow between them.It's only faggots like you who try to turn every thread into a private and exclusive mini-chatroom, complete with people trying to gatekeep them.>You think I'm the same person who brings this shit upBecause you keep bringing quests up. Unlike you, I understand basic logic.Also, no. /qst/ did not mark the decline of /tg/. It happened in 2016, and while /tg/'s population did decline, that was predominantly thanks to /pol/'s population tripling in number that year and the subsequent raids that occurred. 2016 was a bad year for every board, but as you can see on >>97147917, the board's population swiftly recovered almost as soon as the election cycle finished.Quests were not that important, and ironically for you, while the board's population began to decline when /qst/ was made, /qst/ was originally an optional board. It actually started to recover when the new sticky was made that turned /qst/ into a mandatory board. For your sake, we'll just call that correlation rather than causation though, because the big crisis on the board really was the election and the huge shift in site culture.That was nearly 10 years ago, you dumb fuck. Back then, we though it was the end of /tg/, and while it was a dramatic dip, it's laughable compared to the current crisis. The actual crisis /tg/ is facing began five years ago, has nothing to do with quests, and doesn't need you constantly bringing up a dead distraction because of pure butthurt and nothing else.The death of /qst/ is sad, sure. But, that doesn't mean you should be trying to kill /tg/ with your bullshit now like some form of petty and misguided revenge. I hate the anti-quest trolls almost as much as you probably do, but they've moved on and are killing this board in other ways.
>>97147672>so few legitimately game-oriented discussionsCreatures like you just don't like the discussion so you default to this baseless accusation.
>>97158286>It happened in 2016It started before that when Gamergate was a thing and m00t was selling 4chan. Though to be clear, the death of /tg/ and 4chan as a whole was more because of death by thousand cuts than a single incident. Between hirom00t fucking over the site, government agencies fucking over the site, corporations fucking over the site, the prevalence of Discord, shitty moderation, chatbots, and trolls, the decline was inevitable.Likewise the current population poisoning the board is impossible to fix without the formerly mentioned stuff being fixed. Of course the newfags could have been weathered if we had our oldfags, but the various incidents over the years have driven them away. Saying it was only 2016 is ignorant and stupid.
>>97159858>it/qst/ was made in 2016.
>>97155545I remember when we used to say “gtfo stormfront faggot” whenever people like you posted.
>>97147917>graphIs that short up-tick in 2023 related with 7-day autosage and thus reduction of bumpfaggotry? Because I can't recall when that feature was added
>>97148362That's just gookmoot for you.Reminder his incompetence run 2chan to the ground, and yet moot still sold the page to him, despite having other buyers.
>>97148061>to reveal the inconsistency and hypocrisy... and that achieves...No, serious question: the fuck that achieves?It solves fuck all, it does fuck all, but you get some sort of validation in form of "told ya!"At this point, I'm actually GLAD /qst/ exists. At least quests are still a thing. If it wasn't created, they would be killed off circa 2019, burried under nonsense posted intentionally to kill them.
>>97154258>t. nigger faggot that is humping the dead corpse of /tg/ and wonders why everyone sneers
>>97159858Out of the factors you've listed, only two aren't "hiro is a moron and got even bigger chan to destroy than the first time". 2chan was in moon runes, so it died rather quickly, having only Nip population to use it. 4chan is global, and yet the dumb fuck is still doing his very best to mismanage the place on every possible level.It's like he's a walking incompetence. And the worst part is that this isn't just being dumb - it's intentional, because he's a short-sighted faggot. Each and every time when his idiocy cause decrease of traffic and income, he introduces new ideas that FURTHER decrease the traffic, but initially keep the appearance of the site being as alive as ever.At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if by 2028, if 4chan makes it still intact, it will be populated predominately by bots. Not just small hobby boards, all of it. And gookmoot will be still trying to figure out what went wrong and why he's making even less money off this place.
>>97155545>No dumbass, the fact too many people let you and yours into our groups ,sites, etc till you infect and start ruinning everything from the inside needs to be called outYou just described how /pol/ election tourists started to ruin /tg/ in 2016.I don't think that was your intention, but here you are.
>>97134091... and which part of the current state of /tg/ you think needs any sort of preservation? Is it a bumpfag thread about word-salad subject? Is it bitching about CR? Is it text-to-speech video fodder thread?
>>97156024Every... 8th? 9th? quest was good. Everything else was abandonware: either people flaked or OP did. A good quest requires a combination of sufficient number of invested people, a regular schedule, a half-decent writing and consistency. This is why Boshin War quest run for 7 years (and then started to greatly suffer from schedule, which killed it), but average quest didn't make it past 100 posts on /tg/ and struggles to get past 50 on /qst/Either way, if you didn't encounter pre-2018 or so quests, you basically came too late for the show to ever notice. /qst/ is on a slow, but steady death spiral since its creation.What I miss the most were builders, but the last time we had a honest to god builder, it was the tail end of 2016 (and they were still on /tg/)Virtually none of this has anything to do with /tg/, btw. Quests and builders were at best a spice. And both sides of the endless bitching singificantly overestimate and overplay the importance of those for the board. The 2016 election circle was a fucking disaster for this place, across all boards. Things eventually did recover, but nothing was the same anymore. Add to this new management under hiro, who spend first 3 or so years fucking shit up and then just kinda shrugging and ignoring the place as long as he gets his cut of revenue and things spiraled out of any control during covid, never to recover. It's just a classic death spiral, where each new factor, while insignificant on its own, accelerates the decline and user exodus.Hell, I fucking quit in 2018, thinking this is the worst this board will ever be, and returned only in 2023 for the sake of the share thread, basically to see a total hellscape

>>97161980>Every... 8th? 9th? quest was goodto be fair, 90% of everything is crap, not just quests. i get your point, though
>>97134091Higher accessibility and reliability of fuuka type archive sites, .moe, 4plebs, desuarchive, etc.Those save every post, so if you need to find one specific thing, or multiple instances of posts using a specific topic or image, those are your go-to.Suptg also doesn't preview replies, which a lot of people appreciate for following a discussion.
>>97158337Just because something can hypothetically be applied to a TTRPG session does not mean it is actually game-oriented discussion. But you're going to tell me that asking "what system" is some kind of hate crime, I'm sure, you gameless faggot subhuman.
>>97163096I can think of numerous /tg/ threads in the past year that would be archive-worthy, but aren't in OP's screenshot. I've heard that they've dealt with some long outages in recent years, too. Personally, I think I heard about some of those outages and forgot to check the site to see if it was back up again, leading me to forget about suptg in general, though I never submitted more than a handful of threads for archival anyway.oh right, apart from that, Suptg was pretty reliant on its IRC channel, which the advent of Siscord killed interest in like with almost all other IRCs
