Why is this board so fucking dead?
>>59434440General sitewide userbase shrinking especially post-hack + /vp/ only really becomes active at new game launches
>>59434440>Lack of gentlemen doing the work>Hack due to outdated servers shattering trust in using it>Lack of gentlemen pushed general discussion out, allowing more derailment to manifest and present themselves as the majority>Xitter threads are ground to be banned since Elon added views to tweets which makes linking or posting imagery of it break rule 11. Lack of user traffic enforcing the few with the power to remove them allowed them to manifest Two options if you want to change /vp/: Complete overhaul and going up and beyond with notifying any gentlemen of rule offending content or allow it to go down the hitch faster.>Lackluster titles
>>59434440Third world ESLs ruined it like everything else on the internet. Jannies are also useless fags
>>59434460>>Xitter threads are ground to be bannedThen why is half of /v/ twitter?
>>59434473The worst schizos on this board are all whiteTry again
>>59434440Not just /vp/Most boards except the normalfag ones like /a/ and /v/ have been declining too ever since the hack
>>59434440>Not posting this image
>>59434440>4chan as a whole was never great>4chan underwent enshittifaction due to election tourists polfaggot, who never left>Pokemon main games were never great>Game Freak's laziniess and spite made the main series outright shit >Pokemon fandom is bloated with ultracasuals, pedophiles, assholes, bitchados, shills, retards,>All the good people hide out in 5 or so generals, leaving the rest of the site to the riff-raff >jannie trannies are too busy taking it up the ass to do their one fucking job, just like Game Freak
>>59434489Allowing it to happen. Not enough notifications for the Gentlemen, more compelled to repost them. Combine it with clout hungry leeches which are turning discussions into a zoo with "Well this guy says this but the other dude claimed otherwise" and you've got yourself an board that outsources discussions from other sites which are defended when called out and proven with the usual "WELLL HOW DO YOU KNOW HUH?!?" like the search machines don't exist.Like letting cancer go untreated. It roots itself into the body and spreads out. Fighting it at later stages becomes difficult or downright impossible.
>>59434440>last true mainline game came out in 2022>ZA discussion is also done and didn't have as much discussion material in the first place cause it didn't add new Pokémon and has a different battle system>lots of people left cause the hack>tons of people are IP rangebanned cause of false positives, but no one is fixing this>mods truly do not give a single fuck and let schizos like Greenfag run rampant, leave blatant fetish threads up, don't take action against genwar trolls and discord raids etc etc, which all encourage a truly off-putting board culture that makes people not want to come here anymoreHonestly, it's mostly cause 4chan, especially this board, is fucking decrepit. Hiroshimoot isn't doing anything, mods don't feel like doing their work anymore, and jannies are mostly schizos who gey away with tons of bullshit cause they do it for free. The rules desperately need an overhaul and mods really need to do their fucking job, but that's just not happening.
>>59434584>The rules desperately need an overhaulIt's less an overhaul and more so a matter of enforcement. Their queue based system is ok but with the decreasing traffic the amount of notifications is dropping as well. Lower income of notices translates into lower priority.
>>59434584Honest to god 4chan in general just completely sucks to use. Wallpaper boards, porn boards, niche, fun interests like /qst/, /g/, /out/ and /toy/ are all gathering cobwebs. Anonymity turns people either bitter or completely deranged and nobody is remotely helpful.
>>59434440Because pokemon has fallen
>>59434527>I hate everything
>>59434446>>59434498/qa/ won.
>>59434460>Having MORE control over what you can post will get the traffick upI need to get out of here myself. You people are retarded.
>>59434516They call them jothoflops for nothing
>>59434440That’s not the board being dead, that’s the board having an autistic faggot who’s obsessed with bumping threads from page 10
>>59434625I think some rules need rephrasing, other rules need to be changed and one or two rules need to be added. Like who the fuck says "flamewar" anymore? That hasn't been in anyone's vocabulary since 2010. All forms of soijak posting should be banned like pony content (which honestly could be unbanned, who the fuck cares about MLP anymore). Although at this point the jakposting has died down because sharteens are starting be be older than 16 so I guess it'd be too late by now.For /vp/ specifically, either remove OR enforce the "no furry content" rule. That rule does virtually not exist at all. They also need to double down on the no genwars rule, perhaps make it a seperate option when reporting a post.I don't know man, it pisses me off how little mods care. Greenfags spams offtopic, trolls and avatarfags across the entire board, which breaks 4 fucking rules, but no action is being taken at all. They just don't care. This board is like a rotting corpse being eaten away by shitposting maggots, cause no one stops them. It's a fucking playground for trolls and schizos.
because /vp/ is a notoriously newfag and underage filled board so over time the board culture has just become "le epic give attention to my boogeyman in every thread XDDDD"nobody wants to post in a place where if you accidentally say one of the board's trigger words or give an opinion that happens to align with a resident schizo then suddenly you have 10 replies going YAWNFAG YAWNFAG BULBASAURFAG DELCATTYFAG so the entire thread gets derailed and the falseflaggers just get to lay low so they can start up anew in another thread and this whole place is miserable for it
>>59435626Man we used to have fun here,this place used to be home to so much OC, now it's just people talking about youtubers and centroleaks or whatever
>>59435531Is chapjeet actually real or a board boogeyman
>>59434440>42 daysYou are like little baby>>>/xs/1409
>>59434498/a/ and /v/ are on decline too, especially due to powertripping jannies and mods who learned nothing from the hack because the hack didn't actually have IRL consequences.
because every fucking thread is some discord circlejerk shitfling? mods have given up on the entire site lol
THIS IS THIS BOARD NOW>>59435581
This sites general userbase has become unbearably miserable and insincereWhy would anyone want to spend their freetime in a place where people are constantly trolling one another and purposefully interpreting everything in bad faith to start worthless arguments
>>59436019Just like the rest of the public internet, meanwhile private circles are pure gooner spaces and the moment you have a single disagreement they'll publicly air all of their grievances they've been secretly harboring since the day you first came into contact with them so the mob of internet hostility will harass you until they either get bored or they doxx you, then the REAL fun begins.The whole internet's just a misery pit now, and IRL sucks too.
>>59436011When I say the """"pokegod"""" threads from like 3 months ago were much, much worse, you just have to take me at my word. Not even bringing up the various pokegirl ERP threads.
>>59436022I just want help getting into working with essentials. Then just get almost nothing but harassment and bad faith trolling with the occasional bone thrown my way. >"lel. heckin legoog it" The enshittification of web search and youtube with actual essay and article spam makes it even more imperative to just ask, but then these same retards will turn around and cry about tranny flags or "why does no one ever speak up when they dont know something anymore?" because you retards just attack them unless they're in a position to ban your ass for running your mouth and then they just shut up and fuck off.
>>59434440A lot of regulars in the generals I'm in are getting range ip banned. I recently found there's a bit on their feedback page about it.
>>59434440Jannies should delete every single non game general
>>59434440Absol, as usual, heralded disaster.
Can someone finally answer - is chapjeet a real person
>>59436530Yes but I think he got bullied off the site like a month or two ago. Unclear if original chappy autist is the same jeet spammer, but highly likely.
The games now suck and most intelligent people consequently left. It doesn't help that this site is heavily worse than 10 years ago, and the main reason for both pokemon and 4chan sucking is the same.You defended incompetence and greed, you reap what you sow.
