>How do we fix /co/?
Ban /pol/ talk that doesn't directly talk about the cartoon characters. South Park thread somehow manage to max out 500 replies in 1 day whenever there's a Trump thread, but if there's just a plain old South Park thread it either 404s or takes 5 days to reach 500 replies after a bunch of shitposting about waifus and shipping and "will they won't they" soap opera discussion.

Most drawfags on /co/ are from South America and they left after the hack, now you're left with the completely useless browns who keep yelling for porn but can't discuss it worth a shit ironically. Imagine being a pervert who can't discuss his own favourite subject matter due to lack of critical thinking skills and vocabulary, but mostly cause most people here do not have English as their first language neither are they above the age of 24. Most people here are gen-alpha and zoomers.

>>150254593 (OP)
This thinly veiled meta thread will get deleted but I keep hearing about such and such "leaving after the hack". Why would they leave after the hack instead of simply returning like everyone else?

>>150254628
-_- are you retarded or? The hack doxxed a bunch of janitors, mods, admins and everyone who ever used an email or paid for an ad got lucky that the hacker didn't release the users' dox too. So basically you're playing with fire if an actual professional team of both hackers and criminals wants 4chan's ass.
Right now they're lucky 4chan isn't on anyone's radar but the previous posters of /qa/ aka The Sharty where it's just a bunch of South American skinny-ass brown children with 2-3 capable Russian hackers who are also equally skinny and don't have the money nor connections to hire criminals to go after the admin and 4chan's denizens.
Basically anyone who's still staying is betting on "Nothing ever happens/you won't do jackshit" till it finally happens and then they screech out loud "Fine come to my house... oh shit he actually came to my house oh shit oh shit oh shit I didn't mean to" Partap Davis doesn't quit cause he's being paid by politicians 4k a month, not much but a lot for his unemployed millennial ass.

>>150254593 (OP)
Someone saged a thread like this 6 minutes ago. Safe to assume that Backseat Janny reported the thread. At least his "fulfil your civil duty" shit isn't welcomed in that thread.

I would simply add a rule about no politisperging outside of /pol/ and 3 day ban anyone who does.

>>150254689
Thanks for explaining. I'm not retarded just drunk. And to be fair (as an original shartyfag) I'm a white Dane.

>>150254706
Same. It's getting annoying

>>150254593 (OP)
>Most people here are gen-alpha and zoomers.
It's funny seeing people say then when you compare the difference between /a/ and /co/, e.g. most of /a/'s threads are stuff that released fairly recently, while more than half of /co/'s threads are shit that was made literal decades ago; the bulk of this board is just the same dudes constantly making repeat threads of cartoons they saw on TV in the 90s and early 2000's, this place is not popular with the kids lmao

>>150254828
Try making fun of gen-alphas for their Digital Circus threads and the zoomers in their 20s about their Adventure Time & Steven Univrse threads and suddenly you have a flock of them shitting themselves, calling you millennial and oldfag.

>>150254593 (OP)
>Ban /pol/ talk that doesn't directly talk about the cartoon characters.
/pol/ talk should be banned sitewide outside of /pol/. It was supposed to be a containment board, but it's worse than the fucking pony shit ever was.

>>150254878
I get what you're trying to say, but you're sweeping under the rug that fact that /co/ is by far and away the most low-functioning autist board in which a disproportionately high amount of full-grown adult men will watch shit that's way outside their demographic, I mean have you guys already forgotten about horse show?

Wow, you're literally describing Pan Pizza. The more people that continue to support retardation, like him, the more you will continue to see it. You get what you tolerate. Either stand up for what you want to enjoy, regardless of it being politically charged(because every fucking cartoon these days is), and make it enjoyable again or quit your bitching and cut your dick off. Faggot.

>>150254593 (OP)
South Park is a political cartoon now

>>150254983
>/co/ is by far and away the most low-functioning autist board
I don't think that's accurate. If anything that'd probably be much more niche boards. On average /co/ is decently full of normalfags like every other board, who just want to talk about their FoTM or rehash opinions from Xitter. You rarely encounter genuinely low-functioning autists here.

>>150255021
>Wow, you're literally describing Pan Pizza.
literally who

>>150254593 (OP)
You can't really fix /co/ without the animation industry producing more interesting shows. What is even out right now that people are interested in other than indie shows that make 1 episode every few months? Not matter what happens on the other media boards, they always have a lot of new stuff to talk about no matter what.

>>150255082
>literally who
You're lucky. To put it simply, he's Chrischan, but Mexican and really wants to fuck his own little sister and probably Sonic, too.

>>150255080
I think pseudo-intellectuals would best describe /co/.

>>150255080
>You rarely encounter genuinely low-functioning autists here.
/mlp/ came out of /co/ , a bunch of the most well known "Nostalgia Critic" reviewers that make Doug & James look like highly intelligent actors and reviewers such as MrEnter are basically /mlp/co/. Maybe they're good at faking dumb people whenever they use technical world salad mumbo jumbo, but a normal person and to an intelligent person they notice how autistic and low-functioning they are, just because they spout a bunch of nonsense and circular logic doesn't mean politicians are smart/high functioning. Remove their technical mumbo jumbo and even you will realize just how low-functioning autists politicians are. The fact you compare them to feral 15 year old TikTokers doesn't make politicians any smarter.

>>150255080
>You rarely encounter genuinely low-functioning autists here.
i dunno man, i'm really fucking tired of dudes like guy, famicom, birchy, sharktalefag, etc. completely sabotaging random thereads with their inane retardedation

>>150255144
This.
/a/, /v/, /pol/ are the largest board board on 4chan cause there's always something to discuss.
/vp/ and /mlp/ meanwhile eat their own tail.

>>150254593 (OP)
>Ban /pol/ talk that doesn't directly talk about the cartoon characters.
Wrong. This is what killed /co/.
There really actually a concerted coordinated effort by people in and around the animation industry to fuck it up with radical leftwing ideology. This ruined cartoons and we can't talk about this because it's against the rules, but then there's nothing else to talk about.

>>150254706
This is already a rule and /co/ is shit anyways.

>>150255742
It's not enforced, so it had might as well not exist.

>>150254958
Yeah it already is. What's happening to our cartoons is happening everywhere else too. Sorry. There's nothing else to talk about, and shooting the messenger doesn't make you smart or cool.

>>150255755
And yet here we are in this thread about this dead board.
The truth is it IS enforced. You just don't see it. You aren't acknowledging the real problem.

>>150255580
Anon, /mlp/ is objectively a better board than /co/. Nearly all discussion is on topic (a topic posters there actually care about and are interested in beyond just shitting on it) they're still creating regular OC after more than a decade and have proven capable of organising multiple board projects that actually happen. /mlp/ is also much better at not taking shitty repeated bait on a daily basis like /co/.

I see so many threads that begin with some leftist making a political post and it's only the people denouncing them that get punished. Your typical poster's vision of a "politics free board" is one where certain types of people can get away with talking shit and no one can check them. That's the rule now. That's how it works now. These situation before us is a consequence of that policy.

>>150255782
>You just don't see it.
Nah, I see whole threads filled with /pol/ shit that goes weeks without being touched, if it ever is.

>>150255817
Because they dont care about the "shit" they care about cutting comments that get to the real issues and legiti.ately hurt the feelings of the marxists and trannies who staff the website.

>>150255863
Go back to your containment board, faggot.

>>150255784
>>150255080
/mlp/ is also known for the biggest hypocrites possible. Not the self-aware hypocrite, the self-absorbed hypocrite who lies just like a pakistani and tells you blue is red and red is blue.
You just called /co/ a better board than /mlp/ without realizing it, brown person.

Nobody here even has genuine political beliefs, they just want some shitty self-insert show where they can cream themselves over their 10-year-old self-insert having a billion retarded love triangles.

>>150255872
You have nothing to say. You have no point. You just lash out at anyone who can identify the problems because you have a mind like a wild animal.

>>150255935
>the formula for printing free money is easy and obvious and studios just don't do it for some reason
And "the reason" is their agenda.

>>150255938

You have nothing of value to say and you make the board worse
Fuck off and die

>>150256002
That's what this threads about. It's another whiner whining about the board and the very first thing he has to say is
>its the fault of the people pointing out there's a homosexual agenda at work in our media.
OP's wish is already true. It is already against the rules the talk about the real reasons why cartoons are bad nowadays. And instead if allowing authentic discussion to flourish authentic discussion is squashed because that IS the authentic discussion.

>you /pol/tard yy y YOU'RE INDIAN! YYYYY YOURE A FAGGOT!
Wow look. The only insults you can throw out are that being brown and gay are bad things. This is what I try to say on /co/ and get banned for.

>>150256116
Not only because cartoons are totally gay now, but liberal/progressive's are incredibly unfunny due to being disassociated with reality and their only humor is bash the fash/squish the terf/punch a nazi

>>150256143
Good morning saars

I adore how it's always
>We need to talk about the REAL problem things are shit now
Instead of actually trying to talk about practical solutions - actual non-meme solutions - but what else would you expect from the board whose crowning achievement is
>what if 12 year old but with retardedly huge boobs (more than a decade later this "comic" hasn't gone anywhere)

>>150256091
Yup and i know it because just like the other anon said. You can quip about nothing for days but if you dare actually get to the heart of any issue BANNED.

>>150256171
>>what if 12 year old but with retardedly huge boobs (more than a decade later this "comic" hasn't gone anywhere)
4chaniggers really deserve death, not because of their shit posting, but because the only thing they do with this website is treat it like a porn site they can create threads for

>>150256169
Good. Keep using indian as a pejorative. I support it. Absolutely nothing about india or indians should ever be considered good. Especially when they get staff positions on our shows.

>>150256171
Talking about it IS the real solution.

>>150256197
You get banned for talking about cartoons on /co/.

>>150256193
>but if you dare actually get to the heart of any issue
>>150256171
Yeah it's funny, culturewarfags really keep sweeping under the rug that this board has been around for a longass time and... nothing has came out of it. By sheer statistics you would think that SOMEONE would be the change that they want to be and actually make a comic that's tailored to their liking (and try to find an audience for it), but it's quite literally never happened. For fuck's sake, this place even puts more effort into shilling grifter trash like Stonetoss, Assigned Male, Sinfest, etc. or shipfaggotry like Questionable Content than actually SUPPORTING anything that tries to be serious. You can't even get any real advice for trying to create shit because people here don't even fucking LIKE anything, it's all just constant posturing and deliberate obfuscation.

>>150256258
>stop posting and become a creator
Who the hell are you? This isnt a fucking training ground for animation wannabes. It's a discussion board. We discuss things here.
>be the change you wanna see
You're not allowed to. You can't get a job if you're anything less than fully enthusiastic about trannies. Oh try mentioning your Christian around a Los Angeles animation recruiter and see how quickly they lose your number.
>SOMEONE!
A bunch of people are trying. The corporate monied interests are on the same team as the gay communists.
We have a right to complain. This is the appropriate platform to complain on.

>>150256258
if you ever want a good look at how many ESL turdworld browns occupy this board, always look towards this post and how it was all about comics while the assmad swarthoid reply switched topics to animation kek

No buzzwords, what does this even mean?

>>150256197

It's actually very unfortunate how the How's Your Webcomic threads are floundering badly in engagement
>>150154174
This place is basically a creative dead zone

>>150256559
The industry had created the appearance of a general audience that were eager for more gays and bossy women in their media largely due to making it against the rules to say the opposite on major social media websites. There's a word for that but you don't want me to say it.
The more truth we can speak the more truth is spread to people. Maybe someone can't tell their shows are shit but they dont get why. Talking about it can illuminate them. Their voice adds to the voices saying we don't want this shit in our shows. The more people saying it the less they can lie and claim they're giving us what we want. When the truth is this is what they want us to want. This is what they think is good for us. It's a lesson they ordain themselves to teach us.
>>150256532
I'm not typing "comics and cartoons" over and over. Youll have to engage in context awareness. I care more about animation than about comics. So im saying animation. The entire cartoon industry(static and animated) is under attack and the greater media industry as well and corporate America outside of that too.

>>150256612
They also suck at lewd and sex discussion to begin with. 90% of this board is underage or under the age of 25 and either still a virgin or a really dumb ESL redneck who doesn't know how to describe basic sex

>>150256711
Because there's a pattern to the kinds of people who can and are willing to create and those types are driven off the site.

>The more truth we can speak the more truth is spread to people. Maybe someone can't tell their shows are shit but they dont get why. Talking about it can illuminate them.

>>150256774
>>150256804
tumblr was literally the only site on the entirety of the internet that was somewhat sympathetic when it seemed like 4chan might be kill. everyone else was basically celebrating that the evil incel nazi den was dead, or was apathetic and hadn't visited the site in ages.

>>150256764
>still a virgin
And that's a bad thing, normalfaggot?

>>150255804
I think it's more of a problem that you have some retard losing an argument and dumping his entire spam folder into the thread for several hours. Or they delete an entire thread just because one retard shows up to ruin the thread instead of doing something about that person. It's like the mods are trying to do everything but the obvious solution sometimes

>>150256821
Manufactured consensus

>>150255784
>/mlp/ is also much better at not taking shitty repeated bait on a daily basis
>t. doesn't use /mlp/
that board is very bad at taking bait, but it's also slower than /co/, so the only reason you think it's less likely to take shitty bait is because bait threads aren't posted as often
that being said, the stragglers still populating the board are devoted, as evidenced by today actually being the last day of mare fair, which is an /mlp/-run IRL con which is now on its third run. let's see this board get a /co/nvention going

>>150256848
>which is an /mlp/-run IRL con
imagine the smell.

Comics and cartoons should have separate Boards.

>>150256847
Why don't I want you to say it?

>>150256839
They delete posts and ban users when they lose arguments.

>>150256848
I think /mlp/ is just not a worthwhile target for bots and shills.

>>150256860
>splitting the board so we can have a borderline dead comics board
i don't understand why people want this.

>>150256860

>>150256863
Here. Let me scroll up for you.

>>150255804
I'll bet this retard thinks threads like this are made by leftists.
You took obvious ragebait and started sperging about politics just like they wanted you to.

>>150256880
Thank your bringing that to my awareness. I'm sorry I was too lazy to discover that information of my own accord.

>>150256774
I think it's especially funny how 4chan went from roughly a million posts per day pre-hack to sub-650,000 posts per hack, and then you realize that a very sizable chunk of sitewide posts are:
>AIjeet generals scattered across the whole damn site, totaling up several thousands of posts per day every day
>/vg/, which is basically just 100+ Discord generals (in fact, roughly 1/6 of sitewide traffic is just fucking /vg/)
>Several outright porn boards, most notably /b/ (functionally) and /trash/ which are both always in the top 10 in board traffic
>Insane retards who do deranged shit like buy multiple 4chan passes and spam bots + multiple devices to flood threads (there's several screencaps of this sort of thing happening on /vg/ alone, courtesy of IP wipes)
>A non-insignificant amount of posts are just ecker bots validating themselves so that shitflinging retards can instantly hop IPs whenever they get banned
>A metric fuckton of other forms of artificial traffic, both figuratively and literally
Literally the only reason people still try to shill here and potentially even buy ads is because they take the numbers at face value and don't realize the entire site is just a house of cards built on what is nearly just fake traffic

>>150256839
Personally I'd rather see your pseudo-political threads get deleted before they become a retard circlejerk, so I support when someone spams images to bait you fags into mass reporting and getting the thread deleted.

2013 4chan was already pretty poopy. i think 2011-2012 was the last period where it felt like i was amongst likeminded people. i imagine the vast majority of people like me just left around 2013 and i should have too.

What always tickles me about political posers is that there isn't even any media that they like in a way that isn't deliberately detached or ironic, they all act like they're some disembodied consciousness that just spawned on the internet with no prior past or history or interests

>>150257135

They don't care about the medium, they care about social media.

I've been paying for 4chan ads and out of the 3000 clicks I got out of my most "successful" ad, I didn't get a single legit Discord user.
The link would link you directly to a Discord channel which any human would instantly try to click and even if you don't have a Discord account you could still try to join and my Discord bot would tell me how old your account is.

The only time people tried to join this Discord channel is while I was posting the link in desuarchive on /a/ while 4chan was down.

What does this mean? 3000 clicks were made by bots ad farming me ...

I think oldfags just can't accept that this site is universally considered a boomer relic of a bygone internet and isn't even remotely relevant in 2025 similar to Something Awful actually

I'm 29. Why don't you go back to whatever shithole you crawled out of? There are plenty of better places to discuss utterly normalfag topics like your escapades with 3DPD, and /co/ is not one of them. As an added bonus, kill yourself.

>>150257482
Honest to god, I don't think there's EVER been a proven instance of successful shilling/ads on 4chan
Even when I try to think of those weird time periods like when dudes such as Diives had his art basically shilled all over this place, I don't think that ever translated into actual boosting, in fact speaking of fake numbers one of 4chan's official pages tries to say that it gets around 22 million unique visitors per month or so, which is probably a big part as to why so many shill attempts are made anyway, but that shit hasn't gotten updated in many years so realistically that number is way lower in reality
