There is nothing Random about /random any more. Its always the same threads repeated ad nauseam.
AI Loli threads... Trap threads... Caleb threads Pol threads... Pol threads pretending to be ylyl threads. BBC Sota Dilf... Its always the same shit here now.
Everything else is just porn threads, like we don't have dedicated forums for that shit to go.

Were did all the Meme threads go? Oh wait none of you fucking know what a meme actually is. Let alone how to make one or perpetuate one.
Were did all the racy, problematic, crazy, off the wall threads go.
Were the threads talking about ancient aliens'? The threads about shady shit people are into. Threads about cults? Summoning Demons? Where are the inventive copy Pastas?

This forum is so far from Random I'm of the belief now that nearly every post here is created by AI. Everything seems Mathematically driven.

I have to wait for nearly 4 minutes to post this.
I guess this answers my question.

4chan is Dead!

It died ages ago. Almost nothing but pic related retards remain.

What are the sketchy destinations that compare?

And why the fuck do I have to wait 2 mins to post? I can’t let the shitposts flow under these conditions.

Yes /B was a Dumpster fire, but it was an entertaining dumpster fire.

Now /b is a simple fucking candle amongst a sea of candles.

to make a decent meme image you need something like photoshop. most 4channers are phone posters, now.

>>935630786 (OP)
> " There is nothing Random about /random any more. ..." ;

there never was:
the board title, "Random" does NOT refer to the actual, or intended, content of the threads that end up in /b/ :

From the very beginning of 4chan, the "Random" referred to the :
> "RANDOM retards"
[ a subset of the non-staff 4chan users ] ;
who posted their garbage and bullshit on the wrong boards, and the /b/ designation was derived from the word :
> " bin " ;

Thus, the /b/ - Random board always has been:
the "Random retard bin" that has been used ...
[ by the Admin(s), Moderators and Janitors ]
... to dump all the bullshit and garbage that the random retards posted into the relatively respectable boards, assuming that their shit didn't infringe the minimal Global Rules that are enforced in the Random Retard Bin.

Sure, the original Owner / Founder / Admin : Christopher "moot" Poole, originally intended that THAT designation / usage, was temporary and he had an intention to improve its quality, in line with the site's primary intentions, but he never did improve it and neither has the current owner/Admin : Hiroyuki "hiroshimoot" Nishimura
[ apologies for the unofficial "tongue in cheek" nick-name widely adopted by the users, soon after he bought the site off moot ]

> pic related

>>935632135
ok then explain /trash/

>>935630786 (OP)
Pol is worse, it's 100% bots and spammers.

I actually think when /b/ had ID's it helped a bit because we got more Q&A threads. I know that wasn't traditional /b/, but I think it would be an improvement to what we have now while still allowing regular threads if that's what people want.

>>935630786 (OP)
4chan was amazing when it was visited by mostly millennial college students during the mid and late 2000s studying math, science, and marching band. Over the years, its gotten diluted with a bunch of horny 16 year olds that post nothing but porn and social threads.

>>935632368
I wonder what would happen if there was a board for porn threads

NSFW still fine on /b/, but outright porn threads get moved to the porn board

Make the mods opinionated and ban happy again.

>>935632368
>marching band

>>935632565
probably would kill the board even more. I think there are too many boards now on 4chan. people come for the porn and then maybe stay for an oddball interesting thread.

>>935632896
Would it kill the board or would it have people actually sticking around long enough to start posting?
I just loaded the page out of boredom and saw this thread.
I don't stay here because it's literally all the same porn threads as OP said.
It isn't surprising that people (gooners aren't "people") don't stick around.

you ever hear the tragedy of yellow posting on /b/

>>935630893
Lost, you forgot a few but fair

>>935630786 (OP)
/b dies when moot sold it to the feds

/b/ is dead man. i miss the good old days of peak /b/ when us oldfags started posting almost 6 months ago man

>>935630786 (OP)
welcome to about 13 years ago

>>935632181
> " ok then explain /trash/ " ;

As /b/ (rapidly) became the initial "port of call" for a huge number of users to post their New Threads, regardless of whether their content (or the OP's intended reply content) might be allowed / borderline acceptable, the /b/ Random board became almost unmanageable and grossly overloaded.

Thus the /trash/ board was implemented to take a significant proportion of the "more respectable" garbage that was unacceptably posted on the respectable boards, thus making the /b/ - Random board
(that had become extremely popular)
more manageable from the point of view of the Yotsuba GUI and the moderators that supervised the /b/ (and supplementary /trash/ ) boards.

The /trash/ board is, to a large extent, the originally envisioned improvement of /b/, that moot had hoped to create as briefly outlined in the >>935632135 picrel.

We users currently have three Random style boards:
Most Respectable = >>>/bant/catalog - International Random : content conforming to specified Board Rules / Guidelines
Intermediately Respectable = >>>/trash/catalog - fairly respectable content that had been posted to (incorrect) boards in contravention of the Rules / Guideline
de profundis Malicious / Utter Garbage content = /b/ that can be used by 4chan staff to dump bullshit that isn't even fit to be moved into >>>/trash/catalog but is allowed in /b/, plus (of course) the acceptable stuff, that users are allowed to post in /b/, but nowhere else within the 4chan site: e.g. stuff allowed in /b/ by G.R.#3 and additional stuff that is grudgingly tolerated in /b/ e.g.
those thing banned by G.R.'s #6 & #8 that are not enforced in /b/

NB - I am not 4chan staff and never have been, I just think I ought to know and understand the Rules of the site.

>>935630786 (OP)
/b/ was never RANDOM. Thats not why its called random. Its called random because back in the day before you were a twinkle in your fathers eye, this place only had two boards. Anime and, you guessed it, retard, random. Meaning anime goes on one board. And EVERYTHING ELSE goes here. Thats not random, it just doesn't fit any other defined category. They should change the name of the board to arbitrarily so you faggots shut up about it already. You want to talk about repetitive threads, I can't even count how many "complain about modern /b/" threads I've seen. You want /b/ to be better? Stop complaining and make better threads, dumbass.

>>935633065
Yeah, those faggots gave up really quick, because their strategy was retarded. You can't fix the board by spamming worse content to push off the content you don't like. Yellowposters all probably killed themselves by now, being such a dismal failure.

>>935633425
We should rename it to /b/ - nis

>>935633132
I'm sure the feds are watching but it was mainly because he sold it and the new owner doesn't care about the website, made even more evident by the hack and how nothing was ever even so much as updated.

>>935630786 (OP)
I thought I could make a funny thread today with a self made meme but then I realized it would be wasted on fake responses. so why bother? everyone is gone. internet is fucked.

>>935633425
you just don't "get" /b/ man. you newfags are the cancer that is killing /b/, reddit is that way

I don't suppose it occurs that if the board's shit it's because most of you are such shit people? Just a thought.

>>935633421
Thanks for the elaboration on the lore.
I took the css and html, and then coded the software from the ground up. It's just about complete except for a janitor tools. Everything looks exactly the same on the front (although I removed the captcha and added back the custom password field). It's faster and uses current day programming standards and versions. Took me about a month to do.
I wonder how to proceed once it's done (admin tools, minor things).
Ideally to slow the growth as much as possible to extend that sweet grace period of having mainly smart degenerates instead of the overabundance of popslop that populates this domain.
Boards are trivial to add and manage as it is, but this domain obviously has too many. There's an [ai / aig] (general sfw, technical discussion sfw) to try and keep that off all other boards.

>>935633646

Well, you know what they say, "If you want change, it all starts with you."

If you're not going to be the change you want, then... womp womp for you. As for me, I dig the ai porn that can't be posted on any other board.... and the few times people post fat chicks or talk incest.

But yeah, /b/ was never good.

>>935630786 (OP)
The worst part is the porn is hideous

Bamp

As long as logfag remains /b/ will suffer.

I’m the creator of the longcat meme and I say you’re all unrepentant faggots. This place was always AIDS, but it became super aids by 2009 if not before.
When iPhones and MacBook computers became mainstream and queef into existence there was suddenly an uptick in the quality and the quantity of tits posted by attention seeking whores. It also opened the floodgates to normal boring people. This place was better when it was mostly hard core nerds and stem majors.
It used to be more deranged fucks with a warped sense of humor than cringe ass, Weebs. It’s just dog shit now.
This is Donald Trumps 4chan

>>935630786 (OP)
Schizos and freaks have gone to more specialized sites for their obsessions. All that's left is thirdies with no internet skills and lurkers who don't make threads. So all you get is the same kind of pen thread by the same power users

Unsurprising that /pol/ posters are in diaspora after ruining their own board.

>>935633646
Why are you like this? What is your origin story?

make good threads. people like me might bump them.

also, give feedback at the bottom of every page. i don't know if any humans read it but i do it once in a while.

moot definitely used to read them, he would ask for even more feedback. he was a good admin. then it all went to shit when bots were allowed to run free and they removed the unique poster count on all boards.

remember april fool's day? /b/ was oldschool /b/ for a day and EVERYONE loved it. it was incredible. it was only 5% porn that day.

>>935636624

>>935630912
Was here since 2005 and I disagree. /b/ was fucking awesome. Every board was awesome. I was awesomefacing it was so awesome. So much variety in memes, so much joy, no nigger spam, significantly less tranny bullshit. Fuck glowniggers, Total Kike Death, Total Troon Suicide. Most of the site is boring as shit. I remember scat used to be a bannable offense on /gif/, can't recall if it was bannable on /b/, but this place is run by turd lovers apparently since they let it slide - probably because it reminds them of their beloved niggers which they've allowed to spam up this place and turn it into a shithole. Wouldn't be surprised if glowniggers had something to do with it actually.

Niggers

>>935632565
your line of thinking is partially what killed /b/
when there were fewer boards - especially before /pol/ - everybody had to mingle and the melting post created interesting, offensive and funny content. now that you sanitized everything according to "logical categories" - you get exactly that: sanitized content according to logical categories. sorry to take this out on you but i see the same retardation in politics. your line of thinking is as surface level as it is common. only very few people should ever be allowed to run things because most people are retarded as fuck - incl the ones "good at math".

Make a porn board and consolidate other boards.

It's so bad now. It's actually depressing to see, so much of the old internet came from shit that happened on this board. /b/ fought the cancer but the cancer won.

>>935652542
porn threads*
and they shouldn't be banned, there should obviously be a board for it when the entire board is overrun with it. Obviously there is enough demand for a board.

Go here. Similar site culture, you can also post as anon. We need help overrunning the furries currently infesting the site

>>935630786 (OP)
At least you people can still post here, you have a chance to make a difference and reclaim it in the name of old times. /f/ on the other hand, a board I used to call home when I first started using this site is just sitting there frozen in time, no longer able to be posted on.

>>935630786 (OP)
4chan is basically a training ground for russian propaganda trolls.

The same type of threads are being started on every board now. with the same formulas.

>>935652984
I hate niggers that blame Russia for everything but you are correct.
t. reverse image searched images and checked file names in several current event threads on /v/ and they all pointed back to 2ch and other slav shitholes.

>>935652542
when came here in 2007 there was no captcha and the porn was just as bad. it's always been shit. but go to /gif/ for complete garbage.

>>935652984

I started here on /b/ in 2007 it was nothing but meme's, porn, and random shit. then I went to /new/ which became /pol/ new and pol used to be nothing but stormfags, and hat nigger threads, then it started changing to a "crisis of the day" thread where whatever is happening currently in the news is spun in retarded directions. It is absurd how much bullshit is posted on "current crisis" until "current crisis" happens and everything is conspiracy. EVERYTHING that happens now is a conspiracy no matter how small or large it is. there used to be glorious arguments and flame wars, but now it's just ad hominem attacks and you are "them" as the answer to any argument.

It's spreading to all the other boards I go to. /ck/ /diy/ now have the same formulaic troll threads and none of them get deleted when reported.

this is the same kind of russian shit now in every board. the moment you point them out they call you a jew or nigger or hohol.

I mean at one time those might have been insults but they mean nothing now. no one cares if you get called a jew or nigger anymore, and being called anything in regards to Ukraine is a badge of honor.

It was never this bad. The porn spam is worse now than it's been in my memory but 2007 is earlier than my time by a couple years. Banning porn altogether would take away from the board but it's out of control these days. I come back here every few months just to see and at least it's not *all* porn this time

This place was the last major bastion of the free internet, but years ago it got infested, and by today, the jews, the feds, and everybody who wants to control every goy achieved their goals.

Death to Putin and his enablers, and the rest of you unfuckable sad sacks.

>>935661866
lol you don't get b

it was better before. we had threads about people visiting abandoned places, about the strange shit they did, showing how they collected piss in bottles, talking about life, sex, virginity, pussy, how to dress, remember the life hack threads? the wallpaper ones? the post your desktop? stories? about tards, school, friends, not having them, wishing them, having them and how they suck, etc.
yes it was always shit, but i could actually come here years ago and spend hours looking at different things, not to mention the wars, the kimo raids, reddit raids, the high orbital attack cannon, pranks, remember the camera pranks?
threads would be here and gone in a minute, there so so much new content that the way to page 10 was a few seconds away.

now its all the same.
and the captchas killed it too
thing is we grew up
and moved on
we dont have the time now
we escaped the internet to find and live our lives, some of us pretty far from this place
we created /b/
it was us
the people here now are the same age we had back then
but their reality is different, they are not us
wont be
its a time past
we moved on
i dont see many reasons to keep coming here

an old man told me a few years ago: you dont go back to the places of your youth, it hurts.

he was right, we should not come back.

All of that shit simply moved to other boards that allow those topics, and lets face it, why would they stay here along the trap porn and BBC propaganda spam? Once they figured they could talk about ancient aliens in /x/, life hacks in /diy/, etc, they simply left for those places

Make threads that are original or like the old spirit of /b/ that you would like. Make them interesting and people will engage. If you don't want to be the change then stop bitching.

Also people seem to get this idea that /b/ used to just be this glorious golden place full of based unique original threads all the time. The reality is /b/ back then was /b/ as it is right now. Nearly to a T.

But you get tunnel vision on the legendary level threads that come around once in a great while and seem to think that was somehow the norm. It wasn't, never was. /b/ was never good by your definition. It has always been mostly porn. Always. It has always been a containment board. The jannies have always been gay, the op has always been a fag. If you don't like it, if you don't like how things operate you can find many places that are more suited to you. Because /b/ is no longer suitable for you because YOUR expectations and standards have changed. Not /b/. Yours.
