This is a hiroshimoot nagasaki sanctioned meta thread to talk about the board : WHY DOES THIS BOARD SUCK SO BAD WHY IS THE CAPTCHA SO FUCKING SLOW
>>
>>736976626
The head admin beneath Hiro believe that 4chan is a place that's meant to suck massive amounts of ass instead of having an actual posting quality and culture that the users of the website can enjoy. Other mods are similarly corrupt and pathetic, and of the mods who care, there aren't nearly enough of them, and Hiro hasn't hired nearly enough mods total in the first place. Other websites and Internet schizos try to make this place worse too out of old grudges, blaming 4chan for somehow ruining their political movement or scam to get rich. Others use 4chan because they think it's easier to ban evade while being a schizo, or because most other forums are gone or with too little activity now. Companies and governments try to shill on and ruin the place as well, and the mods don't do enough against that.
>>
The board sucks because its userbase genuinely loathes videogames. That's why hobbies that are mutually exclusive with videogames like tabletop games or comic books get 500+ replies of pure discussion.

If anything, it's better this way. The flood of the last 10 years or so was the worst shit ever. Let this place naturally become a niche place again so we can actually talk about the cool stuff we like instead of whatever cheap memes and /pol/shit retards like to yap about.

Sharty is genuinely the answer, that and all the other sites and groups looking to make the mere act of lurking this site into a miserable experience. 4chan gets a lot of traffic, I seriously doubt that's all actual humans.
Mods are gachafags too but really 70% of posters are at this point, every April Fools we get to see what they consider to be new site jokes and usually those jokes don't stick the landing like GPT and the DOGE thing. This year they just put characters in a captcha you could click out of anyway and called it a day

Because rather than treating 4chan as a place to discuss hobbies, the users instead use it as a rolling news feed, where the posts are the same exact shit you'd see on X (political shit, chart watching, rage bait)

Even worse is there's a bunch of posters straight up advertising their own x accounts through threads and mods don't ban that shit outright, like why TF are allowing posts from IGN and Kotaku to start threads? The culture of this place has degraded
>>
>>736977627
>2. No one be actually enthusiastic about a game or they are called a shill
I don't think that's really an issue. I think people are generally only called shills when they beginning arguing against criticisms people have of the game and say things like "you didn't even play it" and shit like that.

>WHY DOES THIS BOARD SUCK SO BAD
Always has.
As you get older, you stop really posting and start lurking more.
Sure, i'll browse for fun threads and shitpost here and there but the charm is gone. Being called a faggot by larping new fags just doesn't do it for me.
We had two years of DALLE-3 slop threads which jannies allowed which only recently got yeeted but the damage is done.
The amount of Twitter Threads. tripe waifu, off topic and e-celeb shit just has made /v/ basically /b/ 2.0

At least it isn't reddit but at this point the bar has been lowered so much that it really is an 'apples or oranges' situation. Do you want smug fart smelling pompous faggots on reddits to call you a retard, or do you want loud abrasive turbo-autists on 4chan to call you a retard?

You won't leave.
You can never leave.

What do you even discuss on /mu/? I like the beep boops that go like this.

That there is a cabal of discord circle jerking running this board into the ground with the express permission of mods tells you everything about this board.

When i took a break from 4chan between 11-14 i just played more vidya.

I participated in many meta threads in 2025 and it's clear that no higher ups cares about 4chan. Mods only care about their pathetic discord channel and Hiro only cares about ad revenu.

Sell the site to someone competent and re-educate the mods on how to be better forum moderarators.

I don't know why but ever since the new captcha was implemented it seems to restrict my posting frequency. Like I can make one post but if I try to make another several minutes later it will say I failed captcha even though I clearly did it.

I usually give up in frustration then check back hours later and I can make (one) post again. Why the fuck is it like this and how do you fix it?

/vg/ is infinitely better for actual vidya

nu /v/ is 90% gacha gooner bullshit that's so egregious this place honestly may as well be an not safe for work board. i once posted a nekoarc meme and was banned for 3 days??? autogynephilic loco homos run most digital spaces and their parents are majority sharehodlers in the datacenters and servers that hold and run this content

honestly, and i say this unironically, X is the best place on the internet now. half the threads here are stolen from them anyway and that includes the loligoon shit

It started declining in 2013 if you ignore the spikes and started bleeding after 2024. The first was due to social media, same reason MMORPGs started declining, and the latter I guess would be covid zoomers going back to where they came from
