What in the fuck happened to this board and site? It is completely, totally impossible to discuss anything without dogshit memes or twenty levels of irony from the other person. What in the fuck happened to this place, I have nowhere to talk to with anyone about anything now because everybody is completely fucking retarded.
>tranime
extremely poor moderation
>>748579205>twenty levels of ironyI wish this was actually true. Because that would at least take some effort and brain power to write.Most people here are just jaded dullards typing the latest insults at everyone.
>>748579205Unironically reddit is better than this place now.
>>748579365That's the biggest problem man. I get people don't like games and think they're shit, hell we've been complaining about bad games for decades. But it's just totally fucking impossible to even talk about ANY game now. It's just mindless dumbass insults, nothing more.
>>748579205imagine saying all that while posting that image and not realizing the fucking irony at play
>>748579205Not enough mods to deal with everything and the site owner doesn't give enough of a fuck.
>>748579205There really all all sorts of people out there, with all their own behaviors, internal emotions and decision making processes. All you have to do though is find the people you do like and only hang around them and make sure no one sell any property to the rude normies.
>>748579656>Not enough modsI doubt that's really the case. Take /tv/ as an example. They are pretty triggerhappy over there.So why does /v/ accept so much garbage and unrelated shit?
>>74857920580% of the entire site is now bots and third worlders. The remaining 15% are people just looking to troll or waste people's time in various ways. There's maybe 5% left who actually want real genuine discussions.
>>748579205>What in the fuck happened to this board and site?Nihilism.
>>748579205welcome to videogames brother
>>748579205U R BROWN
>>748579205>Create several threads>Get 404'd by the jannies for the dumbest reasons possible>Shit on some retards for acting retarded>Get a 3 day ban for "racism" because I typed nigger or warned This place is just for marketers and shitposters. Who fucking cares at this point, your thread will also get 404'd because the jannies are trannies
Gross lack of moderation. I was in a nice nostalgic Shadow Raiders thread on /co/ the other day, and some schizo started shitting it up, referring to every single post as 'tntjax' or some shit (Had to do with miss /co/, or something???), and the mods only made their move when the thread was about to 404.>>>/co/155207338Dunno if it's possible to even link to 404'd threads, but you can see this shit on the archive
>>748579205the US government is partly responsible
>>748579375No way. Reddit is literally unironically hell in online message board form. At least what it feeds on me the main page. Plus why wouldn't you want to read all your frens messages instead of just the messages the moderators allowed to get the most updoots?
>>748579880problem is quality, not quantityyou can get a warning for making casual fun of a crappy ai image post just because some retarded turd reported it - you don't have to make a racist remark or insult the poster, just comment on the shitty image without particular malicethe jannies and moderators are fucking brainless newfag trash
Genuinely is there a single good place left on the internet? Where did all the level-headed people go? If you say Discord I'll kill you.
>>748579561True if you want to talk about normalniggerslop. Gust threads are usually comfy.
>>748579205it was always like this you idiot the "meaningful conversations" you had on here were with a mossad agent
>>748579205IPad kids grew up and mods are in on keeping the place shit
>>748580256no everyone is gone
>>748580256Discord is only good if you have online friends on a similar wavelength. Used to have one but two people got extremely fucking autistic and got into drama that several people left and deleted their accounts. I tried RPG Codex but it's full of retards.
>>748580154People aren't actually being paid tax dollars to make online discussion shitty everywhere so they can create an authoritarian one world hell planet or whatever theyre trying to do, its just a bunch of redditors raised in a poor environment due to the heuristic nature of life. Right?
>>748579205>ironyhalf the time you just get met with some generic buzzword insult though
>>748579205It's filled with genuinely low IQ retards now. It's just a gradual demographic shift that happens as smartphone posters became more common here.
RapeApe saw the 2016 election wave and shifted the entire moderation policy to tacitly allow dogshit threads since tourists were coming to 4chan for those dogshit threads. This in turn drove away the older posterbase or anyone who wanted decent discussion. However the new posters brought in have 0 attachment to the site so as its prominence in the wider internet zeitgeist faded they all went back to other sites that are more active. Now we are left with little to no posters who actually care enough to facilitate genuine discussion, and the dregs of the 2016 election are the only ones giving this site the appearance of being alive. RapeApe likely knows this and is either too stubborn to change moderation policy or he realizes that if mods cleaned up the site it would just speed up its death instead of drawing quality posters back.
I usually manage to find a poster who wants to discuss a game with me but at that point I'm so drunk I offer nothing of worth which is a shame, lol.
>>748580276It was probably always like this yeah but I seem to remember the average reply length being longer. Maybe it's just because I had a lower monitor resolution back then so the text wrapped more.
>>748579205Hiroshimoot is doing nothing to maintain the site. I'm just glad that extreme furry porn keeps the normgroids out of /trash/, and it's not available on the board browser so it keeps away the simplest of morons. When you get a good conversation going in there, it's the best 4chan gets.
>>748580403>People aren't actually being paid tax dollars to make online discussion shitty everywhereThat was 10 years ago. Now it's all just AI/bots.
>>748580403I think people cope by saying this because they don't want to realize that 3rd worlder phoneposters (lowest effort anons possible) are genuinely that fucking annoying or retarded.
>>748580065I call people fags and niggers all the fucking time with zero issue whatsoever.Skill issue perhaps
>>748579205You grew up, the bare minimum of intelligence you would tolerate for a discussion rose over the years, yet this place got worse and worse. It's so low actually, that the jeetbots who work as paid shills don't even bother hiding it anymore. The people who played games and wanted to talk about games have left this place a long time ago, what's left behind will keep rotting as you see it today. Half of the catalog is filled with literally snoy and nintendo advertisements running 24/7 and the other half is usually coomerbait or someone who breached containment from /vg/.
>>748579205Where the fuck have you been? It's been like this for over a decade. It's literally nothing but browns, faggots, mentally ill zoomers and the kind of subhuman scum we used to ridicule.
>>748580548I think it's because I said sheboons and probably one of the tranny nigger jannies got mad.
>>748579205Anytime anyone makes a thread asking why 4chan is so dead and shitty, anons end up agreeing on the same thing, "certain posters" throw a shitfit, then the thread just turns into another schizophrenic shitposting thread about goobergate yet again. And then the thread gets deleted.
>>748579205Browns
>>748579205/r/videogames is unironically better than /v/ - videogames
>>748579205just leave then
Easiest way to improve the site?Ban all phone IPs.
>>748579329Did you know what happen when /v/ moderation goes full retarded ?
>>748579205unfunny /pol/tards are raiding the board these days it seems>>748579262>>748579375>>748579582>>748580029etc etc
>>748580564its insane seeing normalfags come here and complain about 'coomers' when porn boards and porn threads are unironically higher quality than other threads. you do not belong here and should go back 2 reddit
>>748580256Level headed people discuss things in real life and not on the internet
>>748579205This site got CIA psyop'dFunny and naturally engaging is absolutely dangerous and there was a campaign to make 4chan less "interesting" and it was flooded with bots, mods and spam to do noise and kill organic growth
>>748580474Rapeape knows and is entirely complicit. He wants 4chan to be twitter-lite
>>748579205Go to fucking Reddit or resetera then
>>748580641This but desktop IPs
>>748580474>RapeApe likely knows thisLet's assume you are right. What would be the point of running a site (especially THIS site) purely for "tourists"? It can't be the money, or some sort of crumb of Internet fame.
>>748580758Literally seething because /v/ isn’t resetera
>>748580831Go back
>>748579262fpbp
>>748580758What a loser
>>748580870Where?
>>748580967r/the_don
>>748580716and here's one of those deranged low IQ goonertrooner posters who can't stop talking about gacha, whores, sluts and gooning for a single post
>>748580515>the kind of people who complain about the site's state are also browsing /trash/Maybe this site isn't actually doing that badly.
>>748579205zoomers happened
>>748580997Who?
There's only so much to discuss when you don't play new titles and only come here ro shit on them
>>748579205Your reddit?
>>748581030The stuff on trash doesn't even come close to what the average content used to be on this board. You're a newfag so you won't remember when someone lost their shit, they'd spam threads with Cartel execution aftermaths with skinned corpses, fileted skulls with the dude's severed cock and balls in his teeth etc.
>>748579205Why are you pretending like this place is the sharty or twitter or something? I don't tend to see that much irony or memes on here.
>Try to actually discuss video game (that came out in the early 00's)>It gets called "tranny game" with absolutely no reason behind it and completely derails and dies after 11 repliesHonestly reddit is a better place to actually talk about vidya.
>>748581120Sounds gay. Why are you here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be gooning to niggers and furries or something?
>>748579205letting broke dick twitter faggots whine about gacha and video game erp killing off any genuine video game content in favor of twitter screencaps and shilling while the mods do nothing about them certainly didnt fucking help
>>748581205Zoomzoom deflecting because he knows he'd get filtered by actual gore. Go back to Twitter where you think you're cool with your blue checkmark.
>>748581226They all own you btw also their dicks are bigger.
>>748581117they are
>>748581203This is what we were trying to tell you. Reddit or resetera is a better fit for people like you
poopdickschizo killed the board and the site in generalif you disagree you are pissbuttfag
>>748581270If you love gore so much why don't you go to the sharty? This place is for videogame discussion.
There's a group of 3rd worlders with the singular goal of posting porn to EPI children who browse the site.
>>748579205waaah waaah waaah shut the fuuuuuck uuuuup
Anyone else glad 4chan is dying?
>>748581057What OP describes happened around 2009. I doubt kids who were around 10 years old are to blame. The problem is people who found out about this website through normalfags talking about /b/, now they think all of 4chan is some place to spam whatever off-topic random trash they can think of, such s gore. >>748581270
>>748581336Remember that one time when poopdickschizo was exposed for grooming peepeedoodoocuck on that trooncord server?
>>748581361Gore is what kept the normies out. You're bemoaning a natural filter that kept away Twitter trash.Ban all phone IPsBring back dubsBring back gore spamBring back furry spamYou will not get rid of the people you hate until this shit is brought back in.
>>748581436>normiesAnd yet you're still here.... completely delusional....
>>748581318So instead of being flooded by jeets it can be progressives or trannies? I'd rather just be able to have normal gaming conversations again, can you faggots just please elevate yourselves to 100IQ?
>>748581417I was here when glockdookie did the troonraid
>>748581352I think they have tiktok for that. No like literally almost all the animation memes and such are basically softcore porn. I don't see any reason why they'd be here.
>>748581417>glorpshitfaggot found the threadthread over
>>748581436>normiesget cancer faggot
>>748581470Been here since 2008, you're a nigger and a fag. You are the reason 4chan is in the destitute state it's in now. You're like a Californian moving to Texas who votes for the exact same policies that made California shit.
>>748579205Browsing here is a poor habit. Visit alt chans if you want to talk to actual human beings.>but it's slow!Add to the activity.
>>748581436trying too hard
>>748580601If you start going on a long, unprompted incel tirade then the jannies should ban you. It's not that anybody is offended by you; stupid idpol antiwoke rants are garbage that lowers the quality of the site (which is the point)
>>748581513You're literally a /b/ tourist using new terminology asking for furry spam, dubs, gore, and other cancer.
There is a reason there are no flags or IDs here.
>>748581528>>748581509>>748581470imagine defending making 4chan safe for the average redditor
>>748581436Xitter is literally posting dnbs en masse. I don't even get why you're so autistic about muh gore, just go back to gooning to your furries and niggers on /trash/.
>>748579205>Why does the internet suck nowI wonder, hundreds of millions (and counting) of browns flooding every site unimpeded surely plays no part in it
>>748581357Do you guys do recruitment to make sure there will always be people to shit up comfy anonymouse posting for free or do you have to kill it before none of you can post anymore? I guess you could pay people to do it theoretically.
>>748581476It’s pretty much the way it’s always been. It’s impossible to talk about certain games like Sony exclusives for obvious reasons. You can usually get a gameplay focused thread going for new releases or /v/ mainstays like Fallout or TES games. No shit if you make a thread about some 1991 Japan only JRPG that no one has ever heard of you’ll get 0 replies.
The hack was so nice. It needs to happen again so things can settle on altchans with proper moderation.
>>748581561I haven't been on /b/ since 2008, it's the entry board you swiftly moved on from. Again, you are the reason 4chan has gone to shit. You are incapable of seeing why these grotesque methods were spammed and used back in the day, it was to keep out people who do not fit into the board culture. If you can't handle gore, well then gore spam was a fine way to make you leave.
>>748581527What would you recommend? I am genuinely starving for conversation, I've been here since 2008 and I just can't fucking take it anymore. It's honestly depressing coming here every day now.
8ch rangebanned India, Russia, Germany and Israel btw.
>>748581498>>748581480barfcacafag trying to do damage control again i see
>>748581436thiissss pwny dubs would absolutely fix /v/ literally overnight
>board quality meta thread>whole bunch of fags genuinely saying they prefer redditYOU’RE THE FUCKING PROBLEM! GO.BACK.NIGGER. NIGGER. NIGGER.
>>748581530this pretty much.It's not the words you're saying it's the quality of your posts. Meanie words don't necessarily reduce the quality of your post (unless you're just spamming them)So, per the previous post, it was likely a skill issue
>>748581686should ban mutts too
>>7485816738moe
>>748581668You're the Californian who moved to Texas and now insist on shitting up your new home until it turns into California 2.
>>748581357No I want it to be killed decisively. I don't want it to slowly whither away, it needs to just straight up shut down and let the better chans handle pulling in the few remaining quality posters.
>>748579205Yeah and is also full of otakus avatarfags
>>748581686Russia and germany is a weird choice
>>748581668You're literally a furtroon
>>748581605>comfy anonymouse postingSo posting tranime?
>>748581773you have never interacted with vatniks clearly. they are as bad as jews
>>748580564Maybe people would buy into these threads and lamentations if they weren't posted biweekly for the past 15-20 years. /b/ was always shit/v/ was always shit4chan was always shit.Don't let the door hit you on the way out
>>748581763>better chanslike what
It seems like calling someone a tranny and making fun of trannies is the #1 way to filter trannies from /v/ so I’ll keep doing that
>>748581773Its not even true, so its a weird claim not a weird choice
>>748579205The US government infiltrated the mod team when the website was down for a few weeks.Now it's just a honeypot and propaganda arm of the US fed, made for data farming.
>>748581728anon i was one of the ones spamming nigger back then. I don't want to post on Reddit because it's also impossible to talk there. but I just can't do fucking anything here anymore, when it's all mindlessness then there's no point
>>748580758
>>748581773If I remember right Germany was because some government agency kept seething about the site and Russia... I forgot but they didn't blanket ban the place for nothing.
>>748581757Yeah dude, okay. I'm on par with the constant shitposters who ruin every single earnest attempt at discussion. I'm on par with the /pol/faggots who can't keep their shit contained to /pol/. Because I want these people removed the old fashioned way, I'm just as bad.Again, you do not grasp the consequences of the shit you ask for. With no ability for the average poster to make shitposters and /pol/fags fuck off while the mods do nothing, you are letting these people shit up the board uncontested. What are you gonna do, wag your finger at them?
>>748579205
4chan is actually pretty good and if this place did not exist you people would have absolutely nowhere left on the internet to discuss anything.
>>748581809I can clearly picture the labored breathing of this poster
>>748581831Read the thread.
>muh /pol/fagsdarkies pls go
>>748581757/v/ was filled with porn spamming bots before captcha was ever implemented.
>>748581904likely the same stats for literally any social media site, if not higher
>>748581906Most of us would just move to an altchan. If anything 4chan going down would be the best outcome since altchans would thrive.
>>7485819298ch? that place lost
>>748580082I was in that thread tooapparently it was some /dbs/ shitposter
>>748580810>It can't be the money, or some sort of crumb of Internet fame.It can be when you remember RapeApe is dumb as fuck as seen by >>748580758 and >>748581869.
>>748580065>>Get a 3 day ban for "racism" because I typed nigger or warneddeserved
>>748581838the problem is that nobody cares and wants to read 24/7 about your folklore creatures you have over there where you live
>>748581964Did you fags forget this literally happened and all the altchans were still dying with 0 traffic?
>>748581809Nah, jews have functional brains.Ruskies are the niggers of Europe.
>>748581975.moe
>>748579205I don't get it either, it's like The Chinese Room but instead of fake Chinese translations it's passing back a canned phrase to the input. Maybe it's just a generation raised on Twitter and Instagram/TikTok/etc. comment threads instead of actual discussion forums.
>>748581991>Sorting your laundryThrow in color catcherSet to soft eco washThis is the smart man's play.
>>748579205Underage or plain retards just create threads to troll. They end up talking to themselves or samefagging.
>>748581931>no i need to complain about indians and get angry about sexy gacha women because vee needs to be about nothing but pressing buttons and twitter screenshots and never anything sexy because i need an outlet for my obsession with south east asiaKill yourself mutt
best thread in /v/ right now tb h
>>748581884>earnest attempt at discussion
>>748582004They did get a bump in activity, though. Not on the same level as 4chan, but it was nice for a while.
>>748581728There's a huge problem on both sides of the retard spectrum. We have redditors trying to colonize the place and remove any kind of fun or semblance of our board culture (this includes most of the current mods) and at the same time we have low faith spammers flooding the place with garbage which those same mods conveniently ignore.
>>748582058Yes, people do try and have earnest conversations on here. The fact that you have the mentality that nobody is doing so means you're part of the problem.
>>748582051>gacha out of nowherelol
>>748582051why are these smut artists so obsessed with steam clouds? I get it, you want to show that the foids are "in heat" but cmom bro it looks like they are stinky
>>748581906I don't have anywhere left on the internet. That's why I made the thread, I now have to sit in my thoughts and speak to myself most times, there is rarely anyone left I can have genuine conversation with. I have friends but our time is rare. It's not that it's lonely, I am a solitary person, but it's sad because I've been coming here since I was a teenager and I am now in my mid-30's. I joke around a lot but I really do love this place and do not want it to die.
>>748581906>tranime
>>748582065Not that anon but I think the only place that got a significant bump in activity was the sharty. And it's impossible to discuss anything on that place.
>>748579205IDs would go a long way to solve a lot of this too, all but the most dedicated of shitposters would be prevented from ruining this board
>>748579205V was always b with videogamesBeen like that since 2007. https://youtu.be/NSyIzGfTEBA?si=Rw6qWu15Q2RVYh-1
>>748581906If you don't know where to go you should not be here right now and removing you would increase the quality significantly.
>>748582132agreed nta btw
>>748579205I've been playing death stranding and made a thread about it the other day that lasted several hours and had like 100 replies. As long as you're not talking about some AAA FOTM, or in a schizo thread you can usually talk about whatever you want. Also /v/ has been slower than it has in a long time, which means threads stay up for longer, which means more people might have a chance to see it. Otherwise just follow the chain of sage, report, and hide bad threads while encouraging others to do the same (without directly announcing a sage or report). I'd also suggest checking out the spinoff boards, like /vst/ or /vrpg/ if you're inclined towards those games. And don't encourage creating more schizo boogeymen that exist only to derail threads. And use the word filter for anything thats being spammed a lot that might be tangentially on topic, to avoid being hit in the face by it. I've never given a shit about resident evil (i played the first game when it was new, i liked it, it was okay, never felt compelled to ever pick it up again), so whenever a new RE game comes out I just block it. I wish I was more into the games, the fans seem to love it, but I don't, so might as well just not have to see it. I can't piss me off, and I can't piss them off.
>>748581513Thisssss.I'm too an 2008 oldfag, graduated form the Internet Historian videos.
>>748579205Elon buying Twitter, the hack, and the Captcha ruined the site.
>>748582224You can go ahead and tell me that when your personal altchan's pph is higher than 10. Until then, keep your mouth shut.
>>748581884The actual old fashioned way to remove them is by discussing anime and ignoring their normalfag threads, or even better having the mods just ban them for trying to discuss Gaylo or whatever
>>748582017My country banned it
>>748581865Spamming the n word was just in response to the unending blacked spam which was totally one black anon with a small penis and not dac shills. Obviously the point is you can post whatever you want and it's probably not hurting anyone's feelings but we should work together to stop them from doing it.
>>748580403It's a mix of this >>748580523 , actual anti-Western State funded agitprop coming out of places like Russia, China, India, and North Korea, and pseud western Internet addicts that drank so much of the kool-aid that they became shills. Whenever you're reading some shit on 4chan that has anything to do with any sort of contentious topic, make sure you're actually paying attention to what they're saying and if it makes sense or not before you mindlessly glaze past it. There are a lot of people and bots posting who only do so with the intent of propagandizing you into believing things that are retarded and gay through repetition.
>>748582240That's entirely game dependent.You cannot discuss Armored Core on /v/ at all, because the turnfag who shits his pants over AC6 always turns up, like he has a fucking script that tells him when such a thread is made, and spams the same talking points over and over.
>>748582286You fucking moron the only reason places don't have a higher pph is due to network effects. 4chan will remain at the top simply because most people are already here. This is a well studied phenomena it has nothing to do with site quality.
>>748582305Israel? kek
>>748581906Maybe if 4chan didn't exist I would be a happy cattle on Reddit/Xitter
It’s not like the rest of the internet is any better
>>748582305Well if you don't know how to circumvent that you have bigger problems.
>>748579205>What in the fuck happened to this board and site?
>>748582371switzerland
>>748579205Unrestricted internet access for India and Brazil.
>>748582419Not paying for a proxy, ever
>>748582370I said, keep your mouth shut.
>>748582191No, no it wasn't Let's see the proof >KSif /v/ tried to make anything today it would be immediately co-opted by /pol/ shits and never be completed >vaatividya There is absolutely no discussion on here that would be stolen by a youtuber for their vids, let alone enough quality discussion some fag can make millions by stealing and repackagaing itFace it. Chuds killed 4chan. It has less activity than in 2008, and 99% of posts are about culture war shit. Just put it out of its misery. Even I stopped coming regularly here after the hack.
>>748582534NTA but where do you go then? Discord? What a joke.
>>748582460Huh, never knew they did that.>>748582515There's free vpn's if you just wanna get around a block you know.
>>748579205The rest of the internet is censored by state actors and bots. 4chan is getting censored by IP / Anti-VPN controls, and shitted by trolls and miserable fucks like myself as it always has.In short, the internet is dying because global state actors and Peter Thiel agree that we've undergone a cycle of "stagnation", and are actively manufacturing artificial friction and a depopulation/famine agenda just to make people value the fact that we breathe air again.
>>748582524You're defending sitting in shit you retarded faggot. I wish people like you would grow a fucking brain so you can see how stupid you're being. Things can be better but you're adamant about sticking with a rapidly deteriorating shithole being run by people who actively hate the people who made this place what it was back in the day.
>>748582573Nowhere. I am not being forced to read their shit anymore. It's hard, I relapse (like now), but it's mostly better and peaceful.
>>748582590>freeNo such thing as free lunch
>>748579375more than 50% of Reddit is botted, and a lot of Reddit is being overran by EU and Chinese state budgeted propaganda accounts. It's near impossible to have a coherent conversation anywhere on Reddit anymore, and accounts get temp or permabanned for speech there constantly.
>>748582650No shit, but if you're rawdogging the internet anyway, what difference does it make?Anyway, the option's there if you want to visit a place that isn't riddled with terminal cancer.
>>748582634Things can be better, but they wont be. If they shut this site down then it wouldn't magically make the altchans any more alive. Most people would simply give up. Like this guy. >>748582637
>>748581823>/b//b/ is worse than shit now though, it's been utter irrelevant for well over a decade.
My schizo theory is the powers at be want you out of forums and places of discussion, and your only internet-based forms of communication will be with AI.
>>748582813You are completely right. Lest you subject yourself to the utter retardation that is xitter and tiktok comment sections.
>>748582813>the powers at be want you out of forums and places of discussionNothing schizo about that. I don't have the link, but there's literal papers discussing making places like this uninhabitable in order to control communication.
>>748582789It will take time but slowly the altchans that foster the same types of fun creativity we used to have will win out and attract more people and the cycle will start over.
>>748582702It's not possible to have a coherent conversation anywhere on the big sites. They permabanned me for an obviously ironic Heil Hitler
>>748582024>Maybe it's just a generation raised on Twitter and Instagram/TikTok/etc. comment threads instead of actual discussion forums.Insightful. And sadly, if your guess really is the case, incurable, too. It's the reason zoomies and alphas will never amount to nothing, because they can't escape the brainrot environment.>>748582275>Elon buying Twitter, the hack, and the Captcha ruined the site.How did captchas ruin this place? I mean, they are obnoxious, but still preferrable to having actual accounts.>>748582052>best thread in /v/ right now tb hIt really is.
Time to grow up and get a life
This site is very feminine in spirit now. Posters aren't fun anymore, they just want to lash out and be catty redditors. Every single interest or piece of media also has a dedicated schizo spammer now and mods seem to be okay with it for some reason.
>>748582871That's the reason old 8ch got killed back in ~2018 btw
>>7485827588 was not only an enabler of the cancer that eventually killed 4chan, but also filled near to the brim with insufferable faggots from the very start. Oh no, muh Anita, muh mod injustice, muh esjaywubwooos aiiiieeeee save me TotalBiscuit!! The average modern /pol/tard guzzles twice as much cum as your average 2014 dangerhair, shills 8x as aggressively for shit that isn't vidya, and is 16x as fucking retarded, and the primary reason they're allowed to post here without being rightfully told to ram a spiked dildo into their jugular from the inside is hotwheels' and associates getting really butthurt about moot not wanting /v/ to be /pol/. They won - we have no moot, and now all of 4chan is /pol/. Isn't it great? Fuck you.
>>748579205Idk I'm a newfag from 2013 and it has never been good during my time here
>>748583004not the same site retard
>>748582796/b/ was always the gathering site of newfags and young peoplethe collective IQ of the next generation has dropped 10 or 20 points, and the internet's userbase has increased across third worlds - so there's your explanation
>>748583004Go to Reddit or Resetera then
Basically, this place got used by epstein through gamergate and now it's no longer useful to them
>>748580715part of the problem
>>748582423hey someone saved my image
>>748581513How many hours a day do you think about politics, I wonder? What a smooth brain you possess.Incel or frumpy fat wife? There's never any inbetween.
>>748583046>this splinter site that was only created because the original was fedded to death is totally differentSure thing retard. There's a billion altchans and 0 reason to use the one that was made purely out of neolithic political-brained faggery.
>>748580403>People aren't actually being paid tax dollars to make online discussion shitty everywhere so they can create an authoritarian one world hell planet or whatever theyre trying to do, its just a bunch of redditors raised in a poor environment due to the heuristic nature of life. Right?Anon...
What video game is this thread about?
>>748579329>>748580082These answers are correct. The other day a janny subhuman or a mod banned a bunch of different anons on /a/ because he was getting raped in a discussion. The discussion was about freedom of expression and defending anime against censorship, the janny ended up deleting 150+ replies in a thread of 300 and went down calling everyone who disagreed with him "samefag". Anecdotes like this are now normal on the site and everyone and their dogs have a tale of that time a mod/jannie made their lives impossible by banning when you want to talk about the boards subject.https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/291169508/#q291178441_1
My main problem with the site is so uppity anime faggots barging in a conversation and when called out they revert back to their high school days of being bully and keep screechign "ANIME WEBSITE ANIME WEBSITE"Ok cool but how is this relevant to this music, videogames, weapons thread? It's like the lowest dreg of society thing they own the entire site and if you don't browse every board and know all the inside jokes of 22 years of accumulated culture you're an outsider. Miserable cunts.
>>748583251>How many hours a day do you think about politicsFucking never because I'm not a /pol/fag and that shit should be an insta perma ban if you post that shit in /v/.
>>748583106>if you don't like right wing faggery you must love left wing faggery>i suck cocksKill yourself. I'd go to plus4, 7, sluts, the /jp/ offshoots, wizard, or even Kiwifarms before I'd touch any normalfag site or 8.
>>748583334>if you don't browse every board and know all the inside jokes of 22 years of accumulated culture you're an outsiderYes. Either fit in or leave.
>>748583138And it's so clear what happened They leaked celebrity photos to increase 4chan's infamy, get more people here. They funneled boomers from reddit to here, where they are easier to manipulate.
>>748583415I'll see you right on /hm/ "bro"Don't wait for me I'm right behind
>>748583004>he thinks 8ch was responsible for this place getting infested with 2016 /pol/ tourists that came in from r/thedolandWeird view of how things went down.
b-but muh toxic positivity
>>748583334Beating your meat to sexy anime titties with nonnys has always been 4chan culture and the idea that it should be erased because some petulant pol immigrant feels a compulsive need to talk about guns or video games while disregard the entire history and purpose of the site has already been discussed and its one of the biggest things that has negatively impacted the site's culture, but you won't vare because you spend all your time in screencap threads bitching about people actually using the site as moot intended it or ignoring everything beyond transient hugboxes like that entirely
>>748583350You the same guy I replied to? Cause that post was talking about muh libs in Texas or some such idpol shit.
>>748583475"The fappening" gamergate brexit and the Donald all epsteins doing
>>748583540Did he fuck your mom too? Maybe check yourself for jewish ancestry just to be sure.
>>748579205Tranime has destroyed the masculinity of an entire generation of males.
>>748583530I am, and it was a metaphor, not a direct discussion on politics.
>>748581906Every single treehouse on the internet is now just a rotted away husk filled with indians, thirdies, women and a handful of guys trying to fix the planks with superglue.Normalfags and women HATE gaming and nerd culture altogether. However playing a video game or watching anime is now socially accepted, due to it being incredibly convenient and low cost on the consumer's end. So what happened now is that normalfriends and women use gaming and anime as a vessel, a social outing. A new game release is an event for them an excuse to socialize. They parade around it for approx 3 days or so, forget it and move onto the next thing.Btw women hate gaming, and its their last boyfriend's personality used as a lure to get male attention.
>>748583597Stop thinking about trannycock 24/7
>>748581513>been here since 2008 newfag cancer who came in with project chanology which was the actual beginning of the decline. I've been here since summer of 06 where I found /b/ whilst hunting down sauce on some JB from the shooshtime forums. Now the site is overrun with srs bsns faggots who think they're in good company.
>>748583297/v/ The Game>>748583415If only the owners shared your belief
>>748582931no
If you're still here you're a normie now. There's a reason they didn't move to a Tor onion.
>>748583596>nooo stop noticing the irons
>>748583650>Indians Stopped reading there, retard.
>>748583507>muh pol immigrantYeah just ignore everyone that joined post 2004 when /b/ got huge. Not even gonna read the rest you sound like a twitter + pixiv trannoid with 300 cunny artists on follow.
>>748583692Aren't you getting a little old to be still puffing up your chest about how much better you are because you found the board 2 years earlier
>>748579205Janniggers protecting schizos and gookmoot not giving a shit about this place.
>>748580082>and some schizo started shitting it upAnd I'm sure you retards spent ages helping him derail the thread by constantly feeding him (You)'s right? Those retards feed on engagement, and when you keep taking the b8, they keep fishing.
>>748583851I am not that non but he is right, there has been a massive influx of Indians into virtually all discussion boards across the internet.
>>748583901They just reply to themselves
Its the shitposting culture. People don't even want to create memes to shitpost anymore
>>748579205did you try going back to re,ddit?
>>748583915You unironically have psychosis because of this. Get help. I'm so tired of reading your psychosis.
>>748583603It has the same energy as a food analogy.
>>748583785You're somewhat normie if you're still here and not dead yet
/v/ always had a large amount of offtopic discussion, but the sheer refusal to address the flood of twitter screencap cancer or blatant /r9k/ or /pol/ tier shit also means that the people who enjoy those make this board their homebase, and ultimately the ratio of anons who care abut vidya and internet drama addicts gets worse month by month.The only way to fix this would be using heavy handed amounts of chemo to kill off offtopic junk, but clearly the mods have zero interest in doing that, so here’s the end result. You let vermin build their nests, you get more vermin.
>>748583943Well I guess you HAVE to take the bait then.
>>748579329You think this place had strict moderation in the past lol? Ot that the users were so limp-wristed that they were whining for mods and jannies to save them from ebul redditors?
>>748581906If this site goes, applications like Telegram will never be taken down where aspects of the site can be rebuilt with privacy focused fourms/group chats
>>748582357>like he has a fucking script that tells him when such a thread is made, and spams the same talking points over and over.This is easily the worst part of the site atm is these actual low functioning autists that are on the board all day and want to dictate the narrative around a particular series in hopes it will "change back to how it should be"I blame Tortanic posting for this, now everyone believes they can meme a game into the ground over minor grievances. Off the top of my head I see this a lot when discussing>Pokemon>Dragon's Dogma>Monster Hunter>ACBut there's probably more
>>748584214MODS = GODS was first posted on 4chan
>>748583475Gaymergate in general was the prelude to everything that happened with 4chan in 2016 onwards, because it was the first time that Stormfaggery, which had been a pernicious offsite influence since that forum began dedicated shill campaigns in the late 2000'd after being raided by /b/, really hit the site's mainstream. Prior to Gaymers rising up and the genuinely hysterical reaction (in both senses of the word) by the lefties of the time, the majority of the big blue boards were either on-topic (/tg/, /co/, /a/) or lulz-focused shitpost boards (/v/, /jp/, /tv/), with modern pseudo-Nazi hair-wringing and ass bleeding being contained almost entirely to /pol/. The whole Anita controversy, the administration's admittedly limp-dicked response to it and resulting blood fued against the userbase, gave them an in, which gained in intensity and snowballed, leaving the site ripe pickings for what would happen in 2016. 8 was a big part of that because it gave people a place to coalesce and seethe, instead of being banned and fucked off like they should've been. I mean, people don't even realize that the whole MODS=FAGS and Janny memes, which have been dominant across almost every board for more than a decade now, and which have led to a mod team that hates its users and vice versa, are practically a direct result of GG. Before that, the average user's relationship to the mods wasn't exactly friendly, but it wasn't actively combative, either; scandals like /tg/'s Nazimod or /co/'s Redwood were exceptions to the norm.
>>748584218Groupchats are hella gay
>>748584214Anon genuinely how bad would it have to get before you admit there is a problem?
>>748583901>And I'm sure you retards spent ages helping him derail the thread by constantly feeding him (You)'s right?
>>748584348Its either that or tor.
>>748580082>the mods only made their move when the thread was about to 404.You don't hate jannies enough.They're told to keep those threads up until the very end so the site has traffic and then delete them at the end so it looks like it's moderated. They can have their hot pockets and eat them too.This used to be glaringly obvious with Asmongold threads. Places like Night Media buy this place out.The most disgusting part? The jannies do it for free. RapeApe and gookmoot get the money but these tranny jeet jannies do it for love of the game.
>>748584395Never, their ego is built around this shithole in its current form.
>>748584220Worst part of active schizos is that they’re like putting a drop of concentrated super-poison in a barrel of a water. Doesn’t matter that the volume of schizo-ism is ultimately an extreme minority of the people who would like to discuss game X, it’s still enough to ruin the entire fucking content.
The problem is twitter screencaps are not banned. Twitter should be treated the same way as reddit was but instead /v/ is just a place where you repost twitter
we need a new internet, something with a high barrier of entry to keep normal fags out. maybe ham radio
>>748584518Why would they ban daddy elons website?
>>748584464They still let assmongloid threads hit the bump limit before deleting them
>>748584395What exactly is so bad? This place was called /b/ 2.0 15 years ago, already. What do you think should be done? Enact some nazi mods to ensure no one steps out of line of proper 4chan discourse™?
>>748584570Mesh networks
>>748584613They let disco elysium threads hit bump limit too and every time it’s just a bunch of trannies talking about communism. But for whatever reason that’s not a problem, huh
>>748584310I remember when >They don't for freeand the dog from Arthur was new...
>>748579205/v/'s culture became visibly worse with the popularization of tranny as an insult. If you want to fix the board's culture, you have to go back in time 10 years and ban every obsessed retard who couldn't go a single post without mentioning trannies. It's probably too late now
>>748584518You'll see a fbpb calling this shit out on a Twitter thread but it just goes ignored. You KNOW the retards below read it but they just get so excited to eat the slop. They literally cannot stop themselves, or reflect on why they get so excited about or the intent of the OP.
>>748584570yeah that's vr gaming but you're not ready for that discussion
>>748584698>they let videogames threads upOh the horror
>>748584310People left the 4chan and had 0 reason to go back, so I don't see how that's any of 8's fault that this shitass administration allowed /pol/fags to run amok and make /v/ worse. Hell 8ch had its fair share of the same stormfaggots dragging discussion down in its later years, but it was by far the better alternative to actually talk about games.>janny memes>which have led to a mod team that hates its users and vice versaMaybe if mods were worth a shit they'd get less flack. Can't believe you're running defense for the one group that can fix the site but won't. They deserve all the shit they get.
>>748579205A younger generation became able to use computers. It's literally just youngshits.
>>748584724It’s telling that onions was wordfiltered out pretty fast despite never being even remotely as prevalent
>>748582357I'm glad he does it, AC discussion is now all 6shit. I'm not surprised since it outsold the rest of the series combined and is the most recent entry but damn. And if you're a faggot that says >AC always had stagger >No, I never played the other gamesI want you to kill yourself in real life
>>748584882And behold, the filter is still there even after all these years. I’m honestly surprised.
>>748583334ANIME WEBSITE ANIME WEBSITE
>>748584698and why does every thread need idpol shitters like you? in 90% of disco threads some retard like yourself starts vomitting /pol/ buzzwords in the first few posts. there are very, very few unironic communists on fucking /v/ but you have to have something to bitch about.how many twitter threads have you responded to just today? how many wolverine threads have you posted in? gta6? games you never intend to play but feel the need to expound your learned opinion on anyway.nigger behaviour, always having to be loud and noticed in public.
>>748584805They’re literally the most explicitly political threads on /v/ where no one talks about the games and only talks about Marxism and political ideology but for some reason it doesn’t bother the trannies that are always screaming about /pol/. Odd. Almost like it isn’t about wanting to keep politics off of /v/, it’s about turning /v/ into another resetera
>>748584678Subhuman.
>>748583334YOU are the one who doesn't belong here, election tourist. Fuck off.
>>748584857This
>>748584914I have played the other games, since the very first demo of AC1 in 97, and AC did always have stagger, it was called flinching and it accomplished the same thing of preventing you from responding/neutering your mobility.
>>748584857>A younger generation became able to use computers.Phones.
>>748585101>most explicitly political threads on /v/Discussing politics in a video game is bad, but a thread whose OP literally only says "GO WOKE GO BROKE" with a Twitter screenshot or Steam player chart is good.
>>748584857>A younger generation became able to use computers.nice bait.
>>748585101>polnigger loses his mind about anons discussing concepts and themes featured in a videogame
>>748585101Damn, sounds like a moderation problem, not a problem with wanting to talk about the game.
>>748579375I'd agree if it wasn't for the fact that they require you to make an account + provide a copy of your ID to read subreddits nowWhen 4chan inevitably gets to that level, I wonder how many of us will stay
>>748585170Got reaction images older than you mohammed. Piss off.
>>748585261You don’t get it, anon, they’re fighting to keep the leftists out of /v/.
>>7485848518/pol/ walked before 4/pol/ ran; it was always the staging grounds for people who fucking hated 4chan and were overly obsessive about politics. The whole "let's go recruit r/thedonald what could go wrong" idea started on 8, the unholy /r9k/ incel + stormfag blend began on 8, and the earnest nutsucking of manifesto-writing mass shooter chuds literally began with mentally retarded 8c posters. >had 0 reason to go backYou being here right now is literal proof that you are wrong. Even before 8 was fedded to Hell and mostly killed, most of its users were still crossboarding to shill and/or seethe in the same way Shartoids do today, and 7/420fags did before them. Mods being gay and autistic was also a contributing factor, and is a larger problem today, but this doesn't excuse 8 of its very significant part in ruining imageboards for everybody.
>>748584914You stink of turnfag.
>>748585101Show me any Disco thread in the archives where Communism was originally brought up by someone who supports Communism. I'll wait.
>>748584882Well, it never had the chance to because they filtered it. People were absolutely using it as commonly as they say tranny now, even after the filter it was kept up for like a year for fun before it kind of fell off.
>>748585361desu it could have all been avoided had moot not went full retard with the banning of the topic. He Barbara Streisand'd GG by not letting people just burn out on the topic over the week. He never went that iron fisted over the Jeff Gerstmann controversy when he was fired for giving Kane & Lynch a shit score, the topic just faded out after a few days and people move don.
>>748581203>discuss video game that came out in the early 00'sYou can do that on /vr/ now. Although a million other /v/irgins got the same idea so now that board's pretty shit as well
>>748584220>Street Fighter>Onimusha>Resident EvilInteresting that a lot of Capcom games are being targeted.
>>748583334They didn't like this one
>>748585675Are you gonna post it on Twitter, faggot? Imagine using that shit. Tiktok, Instagram, X, Facebook, retard.
>>748585551You're completely right. I have some sympathy for the guy, though; he'd already been summoned to federal court twice because of similar shit iirc (fappening and one I can't put a name on) and been forced to implement /pol/ after the whole /new/ thing. To him, it probably looked like he'd already tried both being hands-off and being moderate in his response and both fucked him, so he decided to try sheer scorched-Earth tactics, which ended up being worse.
>>748579329Very true.Look at this shit:https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/748053227site is moderated by redditors.
>>748585761I use all of those plus Reddit, Tumblr and Myspace.
>>748585354That's annoying, stop doing that.
>>748580276No it wasn't
>>748585551>>748585813Don't forget he caved a little and allowed one thread about the GG shit for a while, which also didn't help because of the threads being spread out and disorganized, everybody who was into it was congregating and condensed.
>>748585675>The residents of a house didn't like a monkey coming in and shitting everywhere while screeching that he belongsYeah?
>>748584037yes. well, still here would be a misnomer. I used to browse imgur back in the day not this shithole. Not coming until late 20s was the way to go for sure. Every kid I knew in HS that went to this site was warped in the head.

>>748583334>My main problem with the site is so uppity anime faggots barging in a conversation and when called out they revert back to their high school days of being bully and keep screechign "ANIME WEBSITE ANIME WEBSITE"My problem is when fags like you ascribe your gripes onto posting simple reaction images like this one.
