I post here maybe a few times a week but I've stopped coming here nearly as often as I used to. It's not the same place it used to be and I'm tired of being so angry at seeing it fall apart. Traffic is plummeting site wide so I don't think I'm alone in this sentiment. I'm at the point where I'm just reading old archived posts and reminiscing on what the internet used to be.

Why did we stop discouraging such? I remember when "this is bait" was a thing and while spammy at times it at least gave people the right mindset. If they going to be little shits they need to at least put some effort into it. Was the only meme I actually liked. Guess it got too stale or whatever but created a positive change. Hell people got creative and miss up the image some too.

>>727707985
all of them attempt the replicate the old "WE ARE LE LEGION" 4chan and end up spiraling into a retarded dick measuring contest where nobody actually posts anything good or funny, the whole site devolves into a mission to request personal armies and nothing else

Kill yourself proto-zoomer. Your games sucked now, it sucked then, and it'll continue sucking. I rather play games I know are good then waste my time engaging in the meaningless rat race of inflated retail prices and drip-feeding of "content" (which we used to call the game, back when we had them instead of the Frankenstein abominations you have).

>>727707985
because they're all composed of people too retarded to not get banned from here.

>>727708357
Because browns took over and think buzzwords are good.

>>727708357
Modern shitposters have no shame and if no one replies to their bait, they'll just reply to themselves and spam the thread.

This another thing I hate about nu /v/

I feel like I could not keep abreast of the happenings in the world that pertain to my existence if I ever were to leave /v/.

sharty is terrible due to the premise of the website,

>>727708557
>>727708480
It's been said a million times before, but if that is the case, why are the mods not doing their jobs? The only times I EVER see moderator action anymore is if:

>someone makes a thread about a game they don't like
>someone posts 4chan staff dox info, usually from the hack
>someone criticizes the mods directly

Why the hell is 80% of the catalog totally off topic and not being deleted?

>>727707906
I've had multiple years-long breaks. My longest break was when there was a migration event where a lot of people moved to infinitychan. Then infinitychan had that mass murderer and was hosting illegal content and lost a lot of posters and I stopped using imageboards for nearly a decade.
I only came back because I have too much free time and the rest of the internet got so much worse than 4chan.

>>727708661
>Why the hell is 80% of the catalog totally off topic

let's be real, it's not

>>727708618
It's not like any good vidya is released nowadays anyways. Maybe I'll stay to watch TGA with /v/. The Half Life 3 threads are the closest we had to old /v/ in a while

>>727708357
>this is bait
This was never a good way to prevent trolling. If you don't like a post or poster, you can simply say it's bait to try and discredit them. Which kinda kills the point of pointing out something is bait in the first place.

>>727708810
This. They need to just be ignored. Unfortunately, this board is too retarded to tell what's bait.

i think one of the reasons why v sucks right now is because of the whole singling out anons thing
like everytime i make a fnv thread, bunch of schizos start screaming about a retard called fabio? still got no clue who the fuck is that btw

isn't this whole thing against the purpose of everyone being anons?

That's the wrong question to ask. If someone is genuinely a retard, vs someone saying something retarded, vs someone actually being retarded, does not change the outcome: their post is retarded, and should be disregarded.

>>727708753
Yes it is. I just looked at it and out of the first half of the threads, the only worthwhile ones are:
>SH4 thread
>Kings of /v/
>NG4
>Octopath Traveler 0
>Planescape Torment
>Kirby Air Riders
A whopping 6 threads that are on topic and not blatant shitpost bait template threads, ecelebs, politics or twitter/reddit reposts, wowzers.

You can thank our manager, SexualAssaultSimian (he likes to get people banned for saying his real screenname), who is a culture war /pol/fag who rules 4chan in Hiro's absence and thinks 4chan being a shithole is unironically saving western civilization.

Yeah, /a/ is so brain damaged by new anime that they think if you prefer or would rather talk about older anime compared to the current wave of moe, shonen, isekai and remake garbage you must be their local poopdickschizo. You're completely unable to discuss anything actually good over there anymore.
And it really makes me laugh when people say /a/ has good moderation, when they let /dbs/ grow into something just as bad and raid-happy as the sharty.

You forgot the recent trend

>mod deletes the entire thread

Like does the janny or mod doing this not fucking realize he's literally actively endorsing this behavior? He's all but directly telling the raidtrannies to spam 4chan with more fucking CP by doing exactly what they want.

>>727709428
Is /vr/ a good board? Most of the games I play are from before 2007 anyways, so maybe I'll retreat there.

>>727709417
feels surreal seeing the board that used to worship Slayers, Berserk and Urusei Yatsura get filled with shonen watching retards that have active contempt for the classics

>>727708965
Unfortunately, this is a consequence of the mods refusing to do anything about the actual schizos, who do dedicate a significant portion of their time to spamming threads and making discussion about certain topics and games impossible
All anons can do is to point them out, though it is faggoty behavior to do so without evidence

>>727709568

Why the fuck does 4chan hate berserk all of a sudden?

Holy fuck, almost 10x less posts.

>>727709734
I don't think a lot of the newfag retards constantly shitting this place up have genuine opinions or even engage with the media on their respective boards at all, they just know oldfags love it so smearing shit all over the place annoys them, which is the real reason they actually come here

everytime i attempt to talk about anime in /a/, i get attacked
it's like no one in /a/ wants to talk about anime

>>727709527
You know how bad /v/'s console war faggotry can get and has gotten? /vr/'s like that, but even more retarded, because it's console warring over long dead consoles that aren't even relevant anymore.

>>727710002
>something I've seen on social media outside of here is that zoomers legitimately hate that people prefer older media to what they like
I will never understand that. I'm a zoomer and the only games I play are games pre 2011. My favorite game is fucking Deus Ex. All media is shit now anyways.

>>727710145
>it's like no one in /a/ wants to talk about anime
They don't. /a/ is made up of two userbases now. One is essentially /dbs/ but for all shonen, and the other is indistinguishable from a gacha general where all they talk about is which low quality template anime girl they'd like to fuck.

>>727710145
People want to talk about anime/videogames, just not YOUR anime/videogames. Make a videogame thread that isn't about gacha and gachafags will derail and shit up the thread. Then you click on a gachafag thread and there's 0 shitflinging. The average 4channer is the lowest kind of bottomfeeding slop consumer and they get offended when you want to discuss non-slop.

>>727710486
I swear, whenever I make a thread about Deus Ex/Thief/SS2, some schizo immediately comes in and shits it up shilling his own game. He always says that it's better than these classics.

/a/ famously doesn't give reccs. You clearly don't lurk there so fuck off. Having 100 recc threads everyday from newfags like you isn't interesting.

>>727711964
The point is that /a/ was more concerned about gatekeeping muh sekrit club than discussing anime, and in the end it didn't even help them because the board got taken over by cancer anyways.

one reason why this board is what it is is how fucked modern game design is these days
there is nothing to discuss. games treat their gameplay like a secondary concern. the very fucking reason you play vidya the begin with. in any other factor we are outclassed by the other major medias.
you get some comfy threads around a recently released game or two that just happen to be good and people like to discuss more indepth. but in any other case it's just softcore porn posting and bending rules to talk about something non-vidya related. simply because most modern games are just shit and not worth being engaged with longer than one single run
