2014-2016
1. moot left, more of a coincidence but still happened the same time.
2. Naruto ended, and /a/ decided to stop nuking Naruto and Wan Piss threads.
3. The 80s millenials hit their 30s, grew up and left. The 90s millenials graduated college, grew up and left.

Legitimately, allowing Naruto threads probably was the death of /a/. As we all know, Naruto ia a gateway anime of the worst kind. By us all letting people who like Naruto feel welcomed, the undesirables came to /a/ and stayed, thereby making /a/ faggy board without fangs any more.
If he had kept bullying the Naruto fags (even if some of us liked it) the tumblr, zoomer, gaia, crunchyroll, normie fags who liked Naruto (which again is a gateway ane of the worst kind) would have been bullied off /a/, and /a/ would still be a place of quality people (assholes) with quality taste.
Prove me wrong. Before Naruto was accepted, we used to ALWAYS tell each other that that your waifu is a whore, am if someone had the same waifu as you, you told them that they were a faggot and they would never love a loser like them.
After 2014, we had waifu appreciation threads, "oh I like her", "good tastes anon". Yuck. Makes me fucking sick. /a/ and 4chan needs hate. For God's sake, we're supposed to be the internet hate machine.
