How do you guys use /v/? Do you only scroll page 1 or do you use the catalog to find what you're looking for? Personally i only scroll page 1
Catalog. I can easily spot any OP image that i'm interested in
Catalog is the way to go if you want to reduce amount of wasted time reading time wasting questions and hypotheticals.
>>740696491Catalog obviouslyWhy the fuck would you want to read or go into threads you don't care about/dislike?
>>740696704>>740696786I'm checking what's going on for the day by checking page 1
>>740696642I scan for OP images with big butts and terrorize the white dicklets who cope arguing that flat asses are better
Test
I will die on the hill that Index view is superior to the Catalog. I also believe that reading threads top to bottom should be a requirement before posting.
>>740696491i look for cute rats on the ratalogue
>>740698567>white dicks out of nowhere Rajesh...
catalogue < ratalogue
Mostly page one or look for the popular threads on 4stats.Sometimes catalog ordered by newest thread
I jump between the 2 or 3 threads that are specicific to my tastes at the moment, discuss the game, shitpost, then fuck off to do something else.
CatalogImage sieze LARGE
>>740696491Catalogue > view first two lines > Bottom > scroll up Most good games go undiscussed so you have to actively seek it out and contribute. /v/ is mostly shill noises.
>>740696491I have a shitton of filters with 4chanX that a generous anon posted somewhere back several months ago. It has dozens if not hundreds of line of code to filter specific metadata and shitposts so the site becomes actually usable. Otherwise the quality of the site is unbearable. If I click "[Show]" (the ~100 hidden posts) it's only coombait and /pol/posting out the wazoo.4chanX forces the catalog display. The first thing you learn when lurking is that the catalog view is the best and only way to engage with the content otherwise for boards like /v/ it happens too fast to make sense of it.I don't spend my days here but a quick look a the filtered catalog allows me to consume quality content and stay up to date with the gayming news.
>>740698796
I use page 1 then start hiding most threads from there then hit page 2 and do the same until i find a good thread then get bored and i leave to do something else.Anything post nintendo conference will get 75+ threads hidden if i don't leave before.
>>740696491catalogopen all threads with lust provoking imagesgoon, maybe leave a comment regarding the irrelevant time wasting questionnext board
>>740696491>Catalog>Sort By: Bump order
>>740701204>Sort By: Bump orderWhat does that do?
>>740701337it sorts by bump order
>>740699796Setting filters on anything else than for PC posting is going to be a chore. I'm not doing it and i just manually hide threads with obnoxious/ugly pictures and uninteresting subjects.
I just skim through catalog for potential niche stuff or meme threads.
>>740701414So basically most posts in a thread? I leave everything to default except i use tomorrow instead of the eye cancer inducing themes.
>>740696491>>740697296>>740700578Delicious looking rats.
>>740696491Best way is catalog mode, sort by bump order, and pin threads you're interested in or have commented on.I've been on 4chan since 2004, I lurked for pretty much a year and it was only creepypasta threads on /b/ in 2005 that got me to start posting, I didn't start using the catalog until super super late something ridiculous like many years after it came out, and I didn't start using the pin function until like 2010 to 2013 or something forgot when. And I didn't start playing with the settings to set expanded image to fit into my screen until two years ago or something.Basically I'm a retard when it comes to trying new things and functions. I stick with the default settings for the longest time.
Catalog mode obviously? I have it set up so that keywords I look for are highlighted to the top of the catalog
>>740701606>So basically most posts in a threadNo, that would be sorting by reply count.Threads that get (non-saged) replies get bumped to the top of the catalog, so sorting by bump order is sorting by the threads that got the latest replies.
>>740702059How much % of the current 4chan pop knows about sage? I'd say 25% and that's people from Moot's days or they managed to read the FAQs.
usually just scroll page 1 unless im looking to discuss something specific going on at the momemnt
catalog into shift click spam until only the threads i'm interested in are left
>>740696491Catalog with a trillion filters
>>740701832
>>740702845for some reason I was under the impression sage no longer does anyhing
Catalogue sorted by newest.
Hearing how many people use the catalogue to browse explains why bait OPs work so well. As a chad page one scroller I only go into a thread if I can see it already has genuine discussion going on
>why yes, I use the catalog, how did you guess?
Filters are for fags who can't stand that someone disagrees with him. Bunch of faggots.
>>740696491A lot of the threads I want to see are usually not on page one. But v is so fast half of the threads you see on that page 1 are on the later pages you see. The catalog is just the better way.
>>740696491As a teenager and young adult I scrolled page 1, now I use the catalog.I kind of wish I could go back it was comfier, but I'm like an ADHD kid who discovered watching shows while playing games, I can't.
>>740696491Catalog, sorted by Creation Date with threads on games I like sorted to the top with my filters (which are not to block things, it's to fetch things).
>>740696491>browse catalog>find nothing of value>leave>come back 15 minutes laterRepeat
>>740696491Catalog, I use filters and hide pretty much anything related Naughty Dog, CDPR, Nintendo, Sony, Pokemon, etc. Annoying shit. It's much easier to use /v/ when there isn't borderline porn or softcore porn everywhere.
>>740704993I filter GTA because I am not interested in the series and there's lots of threads for it. I don't agree or disagree with anyone over it, I just clear it away because it's clutter. Did the same for Smash threads when half of the board was that, I just don't care about Smash and it was clogging the view.I don't believe these are for avoiding people who disagree with me.
>>740704993Personally I don't use filters for the benefit of doubt that some good post might get hit, the only time I used it was for dalle threads because I knew 100% that nothing interesting can come from it.But filtering certain words and pictures is perfectly understandable because they basically serve as a "please argue with me" sign, and aren't worth engaging with.Now that I think about it, maybe I should try putting up some filters and see how it goes.
I filter cyberpunk threads, not because I dislike the game. But whoever makes those threads posts the same thing over and over again. He has like 40 different templates and I've been keeping track of them. I don't think there is any fanbase more insufferable than Cyberpunk's. And before you say I'm a hater, this is my playtime. I don't hate them game, I hate (you), specifically.
Paged with frames.I can't change my ways.
i search for the goon threads
>>740698567I also scan the catalog for big butts and tits. I then hide them and start scanning again for real threads for actual video game discussion
>>740707543based
>>740696491I scroll through the whole catalog and look for threads I like. If they are about to archive I try to bring them back to life.Also RATTTTT!!!!
>>740707030What
>>740707879KOT
>>740708652I still use frames on the left side, showing all the boards. And I order the boards by "paged", showing one page each screen.It's more or less how I've always used 4chan.
Indexfags are just letting decent lower traction threads slowly fall off while they mostly get the fastest and inevitably shittiest threads. Creation date sorting doesn’t help because of how fast some threads can fill compare to others, a good slow thread will still require you to go way back to page 6+. There hasn’t been an excuse for it for years since any 4chan extension gives you the most recent replies in a thread on hover for the catalog anyways and it takes a few seconds to just middle mouse click to new tab and quickly scan anything that might be of value if the preview isn’t enough to go on.>yes I want to see less of the thing at once to determine how much of the thing is worth looking atJust complete nonsense
>>740709908What is frames in this context tho? That's what i am not understanding
>>740710818This. Frames were removed at some point years ago but you can show it by adding "/frames" after "4chan.org".I was used to having frames so I just kept using them.
>>740711785thats so much wasted space for something 4chanx both provides access to at all times and makes way less intrusive
>>740711785Huh... neat
>>740711785I'm screenshotting this for later for when I want to emulate my shitty 2hu board on this site too
>>740710087if it was worth engaging in it would reach the front page often enough for me to come across it
So many newfags.
>>740696491Literally scrolling until I find a nice image, that's why I'm here really. It's like with personality, they say the inner beauty reflects outward appearance, so are the thread pictures, interesting thread must have an interesting pic attached to it, it's that shrimple.
>wake up>open up catalog>check it>open up shit i'm interested in in new tabs>press my custom made HIDE EVERY THREAD BUTTON, so the catalog is cleared and every thread i'm interested in checking out has a tab open>check in later for new threads after i'm boredi've also been working on an automated reddit/twitter screencap hider for a bit
>>740696491Endless scroll nigga. Anyone who uses the catalog is a nigger contributing to the enshittification of this site. Seeing the latest 5 posts in a thread gives context to the discussion and lets you quickly determine if the thread is even worth opening. Catalog niggers only ever see the OP and therefore can't contribute to active discussion. This diluting that active discussion with replies only to the OP.M00t was a fag for implementing catalog when he should have just banned Generals site wide. It might have saved this place.
>>740712034Meh, to each their own.I've got an ultrawide monitor so I've got plenty of room. Also, like I said, I'm just kinda stuck in my ways. I'm used to seeing the boards on my left, "like in the old days", so I'm just gonna continue doing that.
>>740696491>catalogit took me 20 years to find this button
>>740703447A bunch of newfags and retards took M00t telling older retards that "it doesn't work as a downvote" to mean it doesn't work at all. All Sage ever did was make your post not bump the thread. It still works this way.
>>740713035Fucking kek dude. How did it take you so long?
>>740713586i never looked at the top of the page
>>740700578Hey, whats the source for this image?These look suspiciously like some i have, though one passed. Im really curious if these are actually my guys or not, i have posted my rats online many times before but i cant recall what all i posted
>No one knows about endless scrollHow? It's the best of both catalogue and index
>>740713684Hey, it took me 8 years to realise what the ip counter/page number/amount of post numbers were lol
>>740713998if an OP is shit the thread is shit and not worth bothering with
>>740714129It's useless now though.
i miss seeing X on the FRONTPAGE threads
>>740696491I use the search function to see if there's any keywords I'm interested in and if there isn't I just click on a thread at random in the catalogue and call someone a retard in it
>>740713864Got it from r/rats several days ago. Saturday the 9th of may
>>740696491>scroll through the catalog while opening threads that capture my interest in a separate tab>hide a few that I know I don’t care for and/or don’t want to be seeing every time i’m on there>go through each thread along with others that were opened before>check other threads I have opened on other boards to see if anything new was posted>leave and do something else>check back later>repeat the cycleI gotta get out of here, almost no good discussion comes from this god-forsaken site
>>740713864>These look suspiciously like some i haveShow them
this is my rat
>>740696491i infinite scroll index mode and go into threads that have interesting recent posts
catalog was a massive, horrible mistake
>>740714592Oh. Cant be mine then damn>>740715458I backed up my phone and dont have images of those guys at the moment, i have others though
>>740715128take a hint nigga, if you have 0 self control just blacklist it in your etc/hosts or on your router
>>740716010This is the one that passedI miss him every day, he was so sassy
>>740716197i don't get ratfags, it only ever ends in heartache
>>740716000I agree, but it was a feature in the extension so integration with the site overall was a matter of time.Nice trips btw.
>>740696491Infinite scrollingI wanna know what's going on in a thread before I enter
>>740716010>>740716197Adorable
>>740716307Everything in life will end in heartache.For a life as tragically short as theirs, and as little love as they get, i want to provide for them as much as I can. They have so much personality, but are designated as dirty animals or as exclusively feeders.I want to right some of the injustices socoety has laid on these wonderful little guys anyway i can.
>>740716307You could say that about most pets.It hurts even worse with ones that only live for 10ish years.
>>740716651The average wild rat IS a dirty animal, and also a pest, it's not an unfounded stereotype. They carry a myriad of diseases and multiply quick to offset their short lives and small size. Evolution's peak of survival in mammals in a way. They're very different from your pet rats. They have to be, because the world is a tough place when you're small.
>>740701875>pin functionwhat is that?
>>740717547The average wild animal is also dirty and full of parasitwaDomesticated pets are not. Hating all animals of a set because the wild ones are wild animals is nuts.
my cat took a rat once. big one.
>>740718294Proofs?
>>740718373buried in the yard
>>740717985I'm just saying, it's designated that because of history having it BE that, from all the way back to the Black Plague. I literally said it's not the same as your pet, because a wild beast, especially a small one, has to be that way to survive. Rats just had the unfortunate lot when domesticated of being also designated as testing animals for medical and psychological experiments because they're smart.
>>740718454actually it's because they are convenient to handle and breed like rats
>>740696491I just keep refreshing the catalog and go into threads I'm interested in.
As a catfag. I am a big fan of rats as well. I wish I could adopt both at once and make them be friends like tom and Jerry but I would always worry the cat would schizo out one day and kill rat even if they are raised together
>skim catalog>try desperately to fight the urge to click obvious rage bait OPs>click them anyway>get baited into rage>respond accordingly>repeatWhat do you call it when you know it's pointless but you do it anyway?
>>740696491Why is that rat looking at me like that?
>>740718650That too, plus their biology works well with it, they're social animals, and they are easy to observe. In uni I saw a grad project that had to use snails and it was fucking awful compared to rat ones. Really, a rat is the whole experimental package, short of just kidnapping a hobo. But then again, rats can be observed from birth to death much quicker too.
>>740718430Well that was a lot more respectful than i expected
>>740719297i mean it was that or the compost, and i don't like composing meat. it attracts vermin...
>>740719148You’re the one still coming here
>>740719705
>>740696491i use the cat log
>>740696491;)
>>740720864What are you using for it to look like that? Looks neat
>>740720986Chance app, it's my main way to use 4chan now desu
>>740721535Is it only for 4chan?
>>740696491I use it in bed for about an hour every morning. Catalog of course. I use filters for threads I have no interest in or whatever the latest bullshit everyone is spamming like for The Boys finale "eat shit suck dick" or whatever it was. I look at the site one last time before I go to bed. That's it I stay off here during my day.
>>740712845>open up shit i'm interested in in new tabs>press my custom made HIDE EVERY THREAD BUTTON, so the catalog is cleared and every thread i'm interested in checking out has a tab openhuh neat idea
>>740721673it's got a bunch of imageboard sites
>>740722161Cool>dc urban momsLmao is that some porn site?
>>740721946it's really neat, I used to think>it's whatever I'll just remember the threads I visited and didn't careor>it's ok i'll just shift + click hide all the threads i visitedbut it saves so many headaches in the long run considering how much I use this site
>>740722161I don't understand the difference between the chans. Isn't just 4chan enough?
Bump
>>740696491Quickly scroll through the catalog for fun pics, keywords and subjects to see if there's something interesting since i don't play much vidya.
>>740715643Lil Jew getting gased
>>740724561>DC Urban Moms is not porn>its just an actual forum of moms talking about mundane shitWas it added as a joke or is it an amazing filter?
>>740724561it's just alternate sites and imageboards
>>740715643>ring on fingeri refuse to believe you're married rat torture anon
>>740730341Yeah but why use them over normal 4chan? I find it hard to believe they get a lot of traction
>>740730768that's the pointslower boards with less retards and indians on them for better discussions
>>740730768The whole point is to be low traffic to avoid adhd children.
>>740731303>>740731994So how slow are those sites?
>>740733612go and see for yourself zoomer. i already spoonfed you enough
