Thread 281527987

This board is dying hardcore. Mods took down 4stats for you to not see it but /a/'s activity fell to its lowest ever in this month. They replaced the chart at the bottom with with the two boards that are dying the most. Kek. Anyone who still posts on 4shit after the hack is a retard.

But anon, YOU posted here.

>>281527987 (OP)
So should we go to 8ch@n?

>>281527987 (OP)
I will always post on /a/ and even when my nihongo has improved to a high enough level I will still post on /a/.

Your mother is a retard.

>>281528121
*You're

>>281528128
You'ze

I haven't noticed anything different, except for the DBS threads becoming much slower, which is a good thing.

Biggest difference on /a/ the past year is the vast increase of blatant shilling, but I guess that's just how it is with public places like this. And Hiro probably gets some money in his pocketses to allow it.

>>281528167
BROOKLYN!!!

>>281528296
EVERYTHING is slower, no thread that isn't just pure shitposting reaches bump limit.

>>281528401
You're mentally ill

>>281528406
Are you just dumb or that fucking new? I've been here since 2008 and this is the slowest this board has ever been.

>>281528428
Seek mental help

>>281527987 (OP)
There haven’t been any good anime shows to spark interest for a while, and /biz/ got nuked after turning into a shilling center for you-know-who.
But don’t be fooled, if you lurk the much popular boards daily (which I really wouldn’t recommend), you’ll start seeing and remembering botted posts everywhere. It gets pretty mind-numbing after a while.

not everything is a big conspiracy bro

>>281527987 (OP)
wasn't that already the case before? The thread for Toriyama's death underperformed number wise which made them quietly get rid of poster count.

>>281527987 (OP)
I'm okay with it dying. When it was becoming popular, we had to deal with a tsunami of newfags.

Let it slowly wilt like the Microsoft Network or something.

>>281528531
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for all the schizos and other crap that still remains.
The turnover rate on /a/ hasn't slowed down either

>>281528558
Life's more colorful for him if there's some conspiracy

>>281528561
the reason they got rid of poster count was because threads were needlessly filled with stupid shit like "IP counter did not go up, you're replying to yourself" which was annoying as fuck

>>281528543
I wasn't browsing today... fuck

>>281528593
It was also easy to pretend you're multiple persons by using additional IPs. For the same reason thread IDs are bullshit.

>>281528561
This sounds like salesfag "logic" applied to post counts, which makes me suspect you're a retarded autist

And how is a slower board a bad thing, even if that were true? I do see fewer tribalistic battle shounen threads full of third worlders, that's nothing but a plus.

>>281528611
>>281528543
No one cares about comiket slop, kys

>>281528615
A board as slow as /i/ or /po/ is bad. But most of the slower boards work far better than the fast boards.

>>281528611
Sorry anon
>>281528627
?

>>281528579
>The turnover rate on /a/ hasn't slowed down either
The board is mostly generals now and anime is more popular than ever so that isn't surprising. Moderation is still pretty decent by 4chan standards at least.

>>281528646
It's slow enough. Just right, said Goldilocks-chan.

4chan has declared war on the british government

>>281528693
This real?

>>281528686
/a/? Far from it.
The best speed is when you can go to sleep or work and come back to a thread that's still alive with a couple of new posts in it.

>>281528671
What reason do you think they won't make a board for anime generals? Most threads are now some form of generals.

>>281528698
It's fake.

>>281528698
https://nitter.poast.org/prestonjbyrne/status/1956391746029428914#m
Yes it is real. Sorry for posting twitter but their website doesn't seem to have an statements regarding it. It is a real legal firm.

>>281528693
Good.
Hope the chan wins.

>>281528705
Probably don't want to fragment /a/'s user base even more than it already is.

>>281528705
They haven't made an anime general board in 15 years.
They're not even interested in creating a WSJ board, a board for ongoing anime or a board for dub shit.

>>281528693
4chan is declaring war? Not Anonymous?

>>281528593
This turned out to be true however

>>281528613
only extremely dedicated shitposters do this. rather they've been doing it to avoid post cooldowns

>>281528805
The anonymous project has failed , serious discussion just isn’t possible on this site anymore. All the losing side has to do is samefag amd spam you into oblivion to bury your argument. That’s exactly what happened recently with the DunMeshi vs Frieren thread.

>>281528862
We need id’s and age verification

>>281528862
But everyone could tell what was happening. It didn't work.

>>281528879
>>281528862
You have 2 options
1.Modern internet with id/account
2.Anonymous forums with nothing
There is no inbetween, it is one extreme or the other for a genuine option. 4x2chan is dead as fuck, why? Because ID's kill the entire idea of anonymous posting even if those id's refresh every thread and are just a random string of letters and numbers. You can only choose 1 or 2, every other option is a shitty inbetween that ends up killing 1 of the 2's original purpose. Until someone far smarter then any of us or anyone online figures out a real 3rd option, this is it. Accept the flaws of the account based social media where you have a long history and name or anonymous where you have nothing but can abuse it to samefag because no one technically knows outside of guess's depending on how obvious it is. This is it, accept it or leave the net.

>>281528862
>anonymous has failed because nobody gave my post attention :(

>>281528879
found the ofcom agent.

>>281528879
I think flags would be sufficient

>>281528931
All powerful AI that you must give your ID to be able to post. But
A. It doesn't answer to anyone including it's creator.
B. Is also an serial amnesiac.

There has to be a way of blockchaining an ai no?

>>281529021
Flags are cancer. The only decent flag board is /bant/, that too because most of the threads there are just banter, like the name implies.

>>281528931
>Until someone far smarter then any of us or anyone online figures out a real 3rd option
Accounts will be required to post, but you'll still be able to post anonymously, there won’t be any profiles or post history or any forum fuckery. Essentially, you'll use the site exactly as you do now, but with the added step of creating an account to post. This will make banning users unavoidable and improve overall content quality. It will completely eliminate the proxy issue too. Of course, the account creation process should be as tedious as possible, and you’ll need to wait 1 hours before making your first post.

>>281528615
It's less about the speed and more about the quality. If /a/ slows down and this results in higher quality threads, less generals and better discussion, then it's definitely a great thing.
On the other hand, a slow board can turn into another /mu/ if something else arrives that drowns out the rest.

>>281528470
>There haven’t been any good anime shows to spark interest for a while
Panty and stocking has more threads than any anime released in the last 3 years or so.

>>281529075
I just want to see what everyone already knows to be true. It'd be vindicating.

>>281527987 (OP)
>Muh activity
As if that has been such a good thing for /v/, /pol/ or other big boards.
Too much activity and popularity comes with more curious normalfags, redditors to shit the place up and more eyes looking into this corner of the website in general.
As long as we're not reaching niche hobby board levels of slowness I am fine with it.

>>281528615
playing the devil's advocate, but shounenshit is the best selling genre in japan

>>281529021
How about a broader classification. Like for example, anglophone countries could have a reduced capcha cooldown, western eurofag countries could have the eu flag next to their posts, and third worlders, eastern europeans and other subhumans could have a warning symbol on their posts. And enforce bans when an esl gets english wrong. That could work.

>>281528703
That's /m/.

>>281528401
>no thread that isn't just pure shitposting reaches bump limit.
Gantz storytimes and P&S episode threads prove you wrong.

>>281528862
If it had failed then you'd have switched to posting elsewhere like reddit

>>281528470
This was the best season since 2021 though
>t. chartschizo
Who?

>>281527987 (OP)
it's pretty obvious the board is dead even without the counter. most of the threads are crypto-generals now, shit like asking a variant question fo "what's the appeal of gyarus" "why are they (gyarus) like this" as an example and then it'll just be the same dozen people dumping images and having superficial convos to justify bumping until the thread goes down, then immediately posting another.

The argument is always, if you don't like it, don't engage. Sure. But the problem is that when the whole board is orientated around this style of posting, it means culture has become stifled. Worse, it's happening at the exact point that anime has hit record heights in the west. For as bad as old /a/ was, at least the chaos was entertaining. Now most threads feel like the digital equivalent of hanging out with that one weird autistic kid at lunch. Just trite fixation all the way down.

>>281529107
big IF

>>281529193
Low efforts threads like that plague the whole site. It's happening on every single board. I don't think there is anything to do about it.

>>281529193
Those template/bait/twitter cap threads are on every board. It's a reflection of the average post quality going way down. I think it's jeets/literal children.

Are there any iirc anime related channels that still have some activity ?

>>281529168
There's a number of boards in that range. It doesn't necessarily make the content or posts great but they're typically in a better state overall.

>>281529193
It was always hanging with the one autistic kid at lunch here. You're just not a kid anymore, or you don't share the same autistic fixations.

>>281529193
>at least the chaos was entertaining.
Because you were underage. There's nothing even slightly amusing about retarded nonsense all over the catalogue.

>>281529259
It is literal children. The "fun" shitposting 10-15 years ago was also from literal children. m00t was a literal child when he started the site.

You're getting old.

>>281529261
JP ones do, go learn nihongo

>>281529291
I think what a lot of oldfags here dont realize is that this whole "new posters suck" is just zoomers. You don't like zoomer posting style with a bit of gen A too I think?

>>281529259
If you intend to put all the blame on indians and not ESLs in general then there's no reason not to assume you're a third world retard yourself.

>>281529309
Even non-zoomers spics write like that

>>281529233
Unironically, greater velocity fixes this. That's why it's a symptom of death. If you have a lot of churn, a lot of active threads and high raw post numbers, it becomes hard for half a dozen anons to circlejerk another hottori bocchi thread for a week or w/e

It's just man children

>>281529309
How often do zoomers make threads about watching dubs? Because a lot of oldfags do that and try to defend themselves by saying it's nostalgic or something retarded.

>>281529291
>>281529309
the teen posters back then were still smarter and more creative than the teen retards of today. zoomers are brain fried retards.

>>281529310
esl is too broad and after the hack it's hard to see anything but jeets as the prime suspect

>>281529336
Reading subs sucks, it's better to just focus on the animation instead

>>281529342
What evidence do you have?
>esl is too broad
Not true at all. The only decent ones are from western europe, japs don't really post here.

>>281529339
The thing is that it's not only teen, it's a lot of spics as well. That's why threads for 00s/90s shonen are filled with the same garbage.

>>281528879
>we need IDs
I'll continue to bring this up because blanket IDs don't work, they just encourage spastics to try to tie you to an identity, which anonymous communication is supposed to insulate you against.
What does work is 2chan style IDs
>no IDs by default
>shitposter gets their posts deleted
>ID is appended to every post (instead of deleting them like 4chan does site wide when someone is banned)
>insane schizo samefag is exposed
>regular people get to stay anonymous like God intended

>>281529291
There was more tact to it back in the day though. The whole "hey guys check out this meme" thread starter was always a thing sure, but it wasn't repeated every day ad nauseam until everyone was sick of it. Fish doesn't count because I still like it.

>>281529343
That's only true if you are very low iq.

>>281529375
nyo~
you will never be japanese

>>281529339
Teens were just as dumb, take those rose tinted glasses off. The genx before you thought you millennials were just as retarded and pathetic as zoomers are. I guarantee you zoomers will be calling alphas retarded brain fried pathetic faggots too. You generation obsessed low iq's will never break the cycle. Forever and ever.

>>281529381
And you will never be white lol. Also you will never fit in.

>>281529363
Sounds like your solution is just better moderation. 4chan does bans where they delete every post made by a certain ip anyway so not sure what you're on about.

>>281529386
I will never fit my dick in your pussy, sissyboi

>>281527987 (OP)
I remember when one could make a post on /b/ and check the next day if it received any replies… good times..

>>281529387
I literally say 4chan does that in my post and what's different about what 2chan does so I'm not sure what you're struggling with.

>>281529339
And yet a lot of /a/ used w*pchan, a site literally made by a zoom-zoom, during the hack

>>281529383
This is already true, the older end of gen z is pushing 30 at this point and complaining about the kids these days

>>281529383
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a43469569/american-iq-scores-decline-reverse-flynn-effect/
zoomers are factually dumber than previous generaitons

>>281529107
I expected those threads to be image dumps but only one of them even hit the limit.
How are users conditioned to abandon a thread as soon as it hits 300/500 or whatever posts even when it's going to remain for several hours after the last bump?

>>281529435
When you import millions of third world subhumans that does cause the average iq to decrease.

>>281529435
>americans
Show me the same research for white zoomers, immigrants are usually lower iq.

>>281528531
The pre-2015 people have all left and it's only the post-2015 animals who remain

>>281529358
>what evidence
Everything that came to light due to the hack. I didn't really save any of it but some of the screencaps were way too on the nose to be hearsay. ESL gives the impression of everyone but americans, bongs, europoors, leafs and australians. I feel like you could just say browns at that point and get the same point across.

>>281529459
A lot of pree 2015 people still remain though, at minimum a quarter of the board is pre chanology

>>281528470
>There haven’t been any good anime shows to spark interest for a while

>>281529475
Things were ofc better in the 00's but anyone who discovered this site post-2015 has zero value to add to anything in their lives, especially online. We were flooded by the absolute dumbest mongoloids on the internet and now they outnumber us 10-to-1.

>>281529504
Nta but pic related. If they have a large presence everywhere on the internet why would it be different on 4chan?

>>281529504
To my knowledge there isn't many jeets from what I saw during the leaks. It's mostly spics that are ESL with some chinks and jeets sprinkles in. If you range banned South America the problem would be basically solved.

>>281529533
They might have their own websites like arabs do. They obviously do post here, but so do people from many other countries.

>>281529526
>this site post-2015 has zero value to add to anything in their lives,
I've discovered this site after 2015 and I help old people cross the street whenever I get the chance. That has to be more than 0 value.

>>281529537
Pretty much this. They're trying to shift the blame by bringing up the only people more subhuman than they are.

>>281529533
That should be 2008-12 or something, not 2018-12.

>>281529537
>If you range banned South America
I am so tired of them, I see so many "this anime was very popular in south america", "this character was played by this voice actor in sa" posts on /a/. I am convinced that they are outnumbering us.

>>281529103
This would solve everything, I've had the very same idea but of course the post gets ignored. I long for the days where there was no captcha, no consecutive post limiters and the ability to use scripts to image dump. The lack of posting ease and comfort is why people don't post more. I hate posting here now because of all the restriction. It feels liek the site itself doesn't want me to post. Honestly, fuck 4chan, I hate this place now and am trying to quit it for good.

>>281529504
It's quite possible that you're replying to a notorious schizo who thinks a discord screenshot of /vg/ raiders claiming to have hired random pajeets to shit up gacha threads is evidence of an army of covert streetshitters being paid by Crunchyroll using USAID funding to attack Japan and Japanese media and shill koreanslop on 4chins for god only knows what reason.

>>281529533
idk anon do you see as many nip posters here as you do slavs? Because your graph says there are nearly as many of the former as the latter. Unless there are other factors in 4chan board population beyond global internet demographics.
