mistyped /mu/ there

>mfw I will never know what the first /a/ post was
Probably some kind of Soviet Russia shitpost about Azumanga Daioh.
That, or moot posting "first".

I miss old /a/. Now most threads are dominated by schizos.

>>280550069
That's what happens when bots and 3rd worlds flood the internet

>>280550358

If only. They're all just deranged real people who could be taken for bots.

>>280550358
>bots and 3rd worlds
Most of /a/'s issues actually come directly from the rest of 4chan.
It's basically an unrecognizable shithole purely because /v/ come here and treat it just like /v/, and everyone who used to post here left years ago.

>>280550069

I spent a lot of time on /a/ in 2011, anyone from then?

People can't imagine 4chan dying for a serious period of time nowadays

>>280550602
I was permanently on /a/ since 2008.

>>280550660
Recently it was down for 2 weeks or so. Everyone lost their shit. It's not been the same since then. That means it turned from a worthless shithole full of normalfags, schizos and shitposting into something slightly worse.

>>280550723
Honestly the site has gone to shit and everyone seems to be hiding in generals
It's like the site is too big to have any shared culture anymore so everyone is making mini cultures.

>>280550765
>hiding in generals
Nah, the people in generals aren't /a/ posters at all. They have a completely different culture imported from other boards (usually /v/ or /vg/, /dbs/ is the sole one that imports its culture from /pw/).

>>280550457
Hey fuck you, I might be a 3rd worlder, but I have been posting since I was inb4b&.
I keep seeing this narrative that somehow we ruined the board, and yet mostly I see elections tourists that never moved on shitting the threads or spaming, and they are plenty yankee.

What happen is simply that time is not static; I miss the old board too, but the type of borderline unintended dedication and creativity that made it so interesting died with the commercialization of the internet.
We are not in the wild west era; the world is the internet, and to top it off anime and manga is as mainstream as something can possibly be. It will never be the same old /a/, no matter what one might hope. And that's ignoring the bigger truth of the whole board being a shitshow run by a person that barely speaks english.

>>280550660
>2004fag here, but I remember 4chan dying at one point and I left for some time
I'm a 2004faggot too, and I remember that lol. It was in 2004, around June-July until late August if I remember correctly.

>>280550765
>Honestly the site has gone to shit and everyone seems to be hiding in generals
Exactly. In generals you know "everyone" and don't have to bother with the bullshit you see in other threads. Every year /a/ becomes a bit shittier. Every year more of the worthwhile things on /a/ melt away. Retreat is the only realistic option.

Just don't go in yuri threads. It's that easy, I have never seen /u/ outside of the yuri threads.
But you know what I'm forced to see all the fucking time? Because it's spammed at a rate where it's pretty much the only thing outside of generals and dailies to actually stay up?
Threads obviously made by /pol/ and /v/ users.

>not automatically filtering them in current year
self-limiting issue

>>280551132
The ones on /a/ are a tiny bit more disguised, but that's just a relic from when janitors actually did shit. There's a thread up right now, about to hit bump limit, entirely "muh left" and "muh right", and it will inevitably be replaced by another thread with the same OP image as it has been spammed twenty times the past couple weeks.
This place fucking sucks. It's dead, shit, and everyone should leave.

>>280551132

You could say that about damn well any place on the internet. Everyone who actually wants to sincerely talk about a topic is stuck looking for a discord or some slow ass boomer forum.

The shitposters are so good in getting along with the mods. Like avoiding things that will get the attention of the mods, while report bombing posts that call them out.

>>280550945
/u/-fags are only really annoying when they're sperging out over ack or akemi or whatever. Most of the time anti-yurifags are much worse because they're invariably confrontational /pol/ or /v/ types who start bitching out of nowhere over innocuous posts.

>>280551729
>they're invariably confrontational /pol/ or /v/ types who start bitching out of nowhere over innocuous posts.
or blatantly trying to falseflag

>>280551729
I like yuri, but the yuri fanbase has always been drana-prone and infested with delusional feminists. It's been that way for as long as 4chan's yuri fanbase has existed.

>>280551729
>Most of the time anti-yurifags are much worse because they're invariably confrontational /pol/ or /v/ types who start bitching out of nowhere over innocuous posts.
I've seen a significant rise in anti-yuri sentiment, and it's constantly tied to dumb political shit and trannies rather than anything actually real.

>>280551801

Are you banned from /pol/ or something?

>>280551801
I don't deny that /u/ is a shithole, but there's a difference between the actual dyke "no boys allowed" kind of yurifag and the casual yurifag that thinks with his dick when it comes to girls kissing girls when shitposts about Kagami wanting to ***** Konata.

No, you just randomly bring up political shit to justify hatred of a thing. You mention other sites, call 4chan "the chudsite", imply a political us vs them, all that.
You're just annoying.

>>280551856
You know, have people noticed that this faggot is intentionally trying to derail this thread? Its like the most evil post ever, its HIM who is trying to derail this thread by saying false things in order to achieve the very thing he supposedly hates. Hell, using the word "culture war" seriously is a red flag. A loser who hates that people are tired of him.

Stop derailing this thread and stick to anime.

Projection. You are clearly the one trying to derail this thread and set the tone by baiting others. No one can deny this odd trend of yurifags getting more annoying on here for some reason. But you are, and you are using it as a way to derail it by placing bait by saying not liking yurifags spam is conditional on X.

>>280552365

>>280552387
More attempts to derail. I won't take the bait. You got angry at this post >>280550945

Then you attempt to derail >>280550977
The aim is that you intentional put bait here to anger people so they will respond. When they take the bait with the predictable response, you will then try to shift the conversation and the narrative into what YOU want to discuss. This is pure derailing. You are not sticking to the topic on hand.

Start talking about anime and learn to shut up.

>>280552444
You were the one who wasn't talking about anime though.
You're the one who went "Yeah, but what about this other board" and then started talking about other sites and politics.
You're a schizophrenic who thinks everyone who doesn't like you is a mortal enemy.

>>280552389
Yes, I have noticed that bait OP threads have gotten worse since the April crash, and even more insidious then ever before. In every single one of threads I can't help but notice the same people.

>>280552365
Yurifags only got more annoying because anti-yurifags got more annoying, because of kneejerk reactions based on political bullshit and because yuri is simply more common nowadays in non-yuri anime.

Which is why you feel an incessant need to defend other boards on the basis of another (dead) board being worse, and then you immediately rush to talk about politics and other sites that nobody mentioned.
You're a genuine schizoid.

You have accused to like three different posters of trying to bait and derail the thread. That's rather curious, isn't it?

>>280552636
The whole /qa/ and sharty debacle happened because jannies left /qa/ to rot without moderation.

>>280550977
/k/ has been raided by various groups from Russia and their constituent ally nations (like India). They are NOT subtle, and they are in fact actually paid to do it. They don't really seem to have an actual goal other than shitting things up, blaming the West/America, and insisting that they are "based." I should probably also state that I think most groups that raid 4chan are from different groups and backgrounds, but they all share the same grudge against the concept of an anonymous imageboard that can call a politician a little gay boy or simply relax with strangers.

Once you start noticing this, you see it everywhere. /pol/ is basically their "base" and send out raids to maintain a foothold in other boards. Since their MO is shitting things up, I think a lot of the enshittification of other boards is because they regularly post there. And seeing how long those boards have been shit, they've been at this for a long time...

Rangeban China and Korea and see what happens afterwards.

>>280550069
Yeah until the site changes to deal with the schizo's it'll never improve. Banning does jack shit. This site needs the auto hide poster that other chans have. Makes it way harder for them to same fag and derail threads when people can just click a button and make it like you don't exist

There's a lot of segregated threads. Users only report what they see and nobody is interested in policing threads on topics they don't care about. And some of those are festering grounds for crossboarders.

>>280550069
Every board has its resident schizos. You're lucky if you have one of the more endearing/tolerable ones.

I think one of the contributing factors to why so many boards have gone to shit is that there are too many belligerent faggots who shit up threads without contributing anything. They're rarely interested in the topic of the thread--or hell, even the board in some cases. It's one thing to have an argument and call someone a faggot or make use of the nigger-word after they've earned it, but it's to be used sparingly. And at the very least be creative with it. It's retarded how everyone just defaults to muh trannies.

I suppose it's just a consequence of the reputation 4chan has with normalfags, and the types of people who come here thinking the entirety of the site is just /b/, /r9k/, and /pol/ from what they see on their greentext maymays. That, or it's a deliberate effort to shit up threads from people like the re-'tardy.

One aspect of greater internet censorship that goes unappreciated is that it forces anti-social people into the few remaining spots on the public net that will tolerate the outward markers of their behavior. Most places ban you from saying slurs not just because they have ideological/financial issues with allowing them, but also because rampant use of them is genuinely a strong correlative to being a faggot retard. I like the relative freedom of speech that 4chan offers but a lot of people view this place as "Reddit, but you won't get banned". This means that they see it as a safe place to be an anti-social moron and shit up otherwise productive discussions, as anti-social morons are want to do. Their behavior earns them a perma-ban everywhere but here, so they spend all day here.

>>280556188
Every single shounen general should've had all it's regular members perma-banned /fur/ style years ago. That we've let it get this bad is a testament to the neglect of this board. Moot should've genuinely kept deleting Naruto threads on sight.

>>280556550
Generals should have been culled site-wide. Trying to ban them on /a/ while they were allowed to foster on other boards was a quest in futility. And even on /a/ they made stupid exceptions like the buyfag threads that just invited others to copy them.

>>280556188
I don't take up residence in generals anymore. The ones I used to frequent--not /a/ related; never bothered with /a/ generals--have become uninteresting in recent years. They're primarily full of newfags (to the hobby or thread topic) who can't be assed to make a search query or make a decision for themselves. Anyone who used to contribute to them by sharing their projects have gone elsewhere.

The worst I've had to deal with is just fags who spam the same comment each new thread, so my condolences.

I was under the impression that the quality of boards would increase--so to would site activity--if each board had their own community-maintained wiki, and banning generals was a steadfast rule, but I think that's walking the line a little too close to something like Reddit or a proper forum. 4chan is an imageboard first and foremost, it's not meant to be as autistic and rigid as most forums are with their posting standards. Though there still is a minimum posting standard--at least in principle.

There is still a valid argument to be made with respect to banning generals however. Unfortunately such a decision would displace a lot of people who solely take residence in them, and they'd either piss off elsewhere, or shit up the rest of the board--most certainly the latter.

>>280556580
I like posting in the buyfag threads but I would glady be banished to /toy/ or where ever if it meant I never had to see another fucking shounen spic general defecating on the catalogue.

>>280556809
The main problem with the buyfag threads was the guide. The solution would have been to make a sticky on /a/ that includes the buyfag guide, DJT guide and whatever other resources the board considered necessary for posters.
Then you'd be able to have normal, non-general threads about buyfag stuff. The current solution where people link the guide in the second post is awful.

>Generals should have been culled site-wide.

Eh, generals are a convenient boogyman. Reflecting on my accumulated wasted time on /a/, /b/, /co/, /jp/, /vg/, etc., the difference in quality of discussion between boards that strictly limited generals versus those that allowed generals by design ended up being pretty negligible. Schizos colonizing particular topics and disproportionately shitting up discussion is a consequence of lowered traffic moreso than a design flaw. There's no barring those individual posters from shitting up boards without logins or excessive moderation that impacts normal user discussion. Similarly, circlejerks only do so much when a flood of decent quality fresh blood drowns them out. No point in raging against the typical internet reality post-2010s.

Things have gotten worse and society is disintegrating in the most relevant nations in the world - mostly the west - but it's starting to make noticeable waves in Japan as well.
No excuse to bring that shit here, but more people feel they have to push an agenda to shape things to fit their vision or, ironically, in a move to spread awareness about things to preserve culture which serves only to dilute it, but hard not to for some people from either faction when they see the other faction brigading everywhere all the time - imagined or not. I only really post about it when it is on topic and I am way more extreme than the average person, but even I have the sense to not shit where I eat.
Some boards are so slanted you can't have any real discussion about problems in the hobby anymore, like /tg/ and /co/, you can only address symptoms.

Face it, it's not fucking 2008 anymore. Anime is artificially mainstream and not our fun little hobby anymore and it is suffering as a result.

While I don't like the spam, most of it is concerned with a real issue: the Western influence on anime these days. What are we supposed to do? Not give in to the political shitfighting and ignore the issue at hand which is very real and very pervasive?

Really, are they that persistent? Imagine if they put that level of effort into literally any other endeavour.

This is an issue but it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't scenario.
If you point it out, then people accuse you of being political and pushing an agenda, which is technically true, but so are the people wanting to change the nature of the hobby. I don't advocate for brigading either way, I just wish things would get better and more stable IRL so all the shit didn't run off here.

I agree but honestly the only thing that can help is mods banning bad faith posts. A problem is that some people want to completely ignore that the tone and nature of this stuff is changing (not for the better in 90% of cases), and they are right to complain that there is more political shit flinging happening, but we've seen time and time again what happens when you ignore it with other hobbies. It's a tough situation because brigading about it lowers quality of discussion and runs the risk of off topic, but ignoring it means the problem spreads and people just refuse to address it more.
I think only things getting better will fix discussion here, we are in a period of cultural decline where society hasn't really progressed but regressed in many areas and people are more interested in getting moral highs from supporting some unsustainable policies than actually addressing things that matter, and that pessimism, moral high grounding, and very hedonistic cultural decline is leaking into all sorts of places it wouldn't if things were more stable.

I thought having 2 weeks of nonstop 24/7 meta posting across archive and altchans would cure this illness. Remember: everything is your fault.

No, it's actually just spamming the same screenshot from a clickbait website that nobody has heard of, talking about a poll involving 2000 people. I wasn't talking about the fanservice thread, but those are shit as well because you inevitably get that schizo who edits screenshots and talks about gender neutral swimsuits constantly.
>Face it, it's not fucking 2008 anymore.
The irony in saying that when there was more evidence of western influence in the 2000s than there is today.
>Anime is artificially mainstream and not our fun little hobby anymore
30 years late.
Willing to bet you don't even actually watch anime, you just come here to cry about how it's dying.

Whether or not you get a good response depends on the whims of anons at the time. I usually shill stuff if asked but sometimes I don't feel like it.
My secret? Browse threads, find the sauce from reaction images I like, then go from there.
