Thread 714912245

Almost 5 years later, what do we think about them?

>>714912245 (OP)
/vrpg/ and /vst/ are miles ahead of this shithole in terms of quality. You can actually talk about games there without needing to fill your thread with bait. And threads about less known games aren't buried because the board is slow. Take /vst/ at this exact moment. It has one twitter screencap thread and that thread has screencap has nothing to do with the question that is being asked. Don't know about the other two.

>/vrpg/
Den of schizos that nobody cares to document because only the schizos and newfags use it. The board starting off with 50% of all threads being some form of Reanposting was a sign of things to come.
>/vmg/
Waste of space for its intended usage, but now everyone has just made generals.
>/vst/
I keep seeing people here say it's good, but I'm not autistic enough to look into it.
>/vm/
Again, everyone just made generals. Works fine now.

They mostly just show why spin-off boards are a bad idea. /v/ is the most popular board and surprise surprise, spin-off boards are fucking dead outside /vg/ (schizos) and /vp/ (furfags).

>>714912245 (OP)
Should have stopped after /vr/

>5 years
holy fuck

>>714912245 (OP)
Unlike us they discuss video games.

>>714912245 (OP)
They're all very slow. But you can have actual conversations there. So whatever occasionally I'll look and post but rarely.

>/vrpg/
Shouldn't exist, just be a oart of /vg/
>/vmg/
Shouldn't exist, just be a oart of /vg/
>/vst/
Shouldn't exist, just be a oart of /vg/
>/vm/
Should have been a containment board for what half of /vg/ has devolved to instead it's just a waste of bandwidth

>>714912245 (OP)
They're just different flavors of /vg/ for generals who became too slow for /vg/

Ultimate proof that spin-off boards don't work like what >>714913773 said.
I still see people being for another /a/ board when /a/ itself is on the verge of being at /co/ levels of activity. If spam was actually handled on that board (all the fucking dailies), it probably would be at or below /co/ activity.

/vgg/ Gacha General would unironically save both /v/ and /vg/

>>714916158
/vg/ is already at max capacity in its ability to serve as a containment board

>>714912245 (OP)
/vm/ is really the only one that deserves to exist, the others are just different flavors of /v/ that serve no purpose but to fragment the board.
/vp/ doesn't really need to exist either, 95% of it is just image dump waifu threads that could just be on /e/. the few scattered game generals can band together and move to /vg/, the anime threads can move to /a/, and so on.

>>714917525
Yeah because of gachashit, really they need their own containment board.

>>714917997
>"/vp/ doesn't need to exist"
>lists reasons why it exists
Having Pokemon fragmented on a dozen boards was the issue.
Keeping everything together solves several issues at once. Less furfag spam on porn boards, less Pokegirl spam on /c/ and /e/, and less confusion and trolling over its presence on /a/.
That and a lot of Pokemon is /mlp/ tier and deserving of a containment board.

>>714916363
only if /vt/ is changed to include all e-celebs

There is no point of spinoff boards if you are still allowed to discuss the topics on the more populated board anyway. That's why /mlp/ was a great idea. That was the only time the site had the balls to say a particular group of people are annoying so they should be exiled to their own board.

>>714912245 (OP)
I like /vrpg/, they are pretty chill

/vm/ is a good idea badly implemented
it should have really short threads for active or planned lobbies/games only, dying after like 2 hours of inactivity
You go check the front page, see a game you want to play and know its active because the thread is there, join and have fun, then let the thread die
Now it's just slower /vg/ with nothing but generals getting endlessly bumped

>>714913773
>>714917997
>>714918610
/vp/ is based and gives us a place to be openly horny for our fuckable pokemon, i bet if we tried to do that here too many anons would raid and derail and the mods would take action against us too.

>>714918610
i don't see how pokemon being fragmented is an issue whatsoever. the pokefuckers already do their thing on /trash/, /e/ and /c/ are slow as balls and have pokegirl threads up right now anyway, and /v/ still gets pokemon vidya threads constantly. (which move faster than the entirety of /vp/)
everything you're describing already happens and no one even notices or cares.

>>714919108
As they should

>>714919224
Cope. I'm on /vp/ right now. Eeveelutions are built for human men by the way.

>>714912245 (OP)
Honestly good. They allow slower generals and the like to survive. I wish that gacha had been properly quarantined to /vmg/, but I'll take what we got.

>>714919286
Agreed, but that should be kept to /vp/ as intended.

>>714919286
eeveelutions are shit normalfag taste and you should kill yourself.

>>714919441
Dilate

>>714912245 (OP)
Just a bunch of ghost towns and a band aid solution to a bigger problem.

>>714919473
cringe

>>714919221
And the point is that it used to happen way, way, way more.
Remind yourself that /vp/ is the third most popular /v/ spinoff for a reason.

>>714912245 (OP)
Good addition
To make it perfect they should create a dedicated gacha board
Should free up some space for actual games on /vg/

Trash.

>>714918893
The annoying people of today make up 90% of the site's userbase.

>>714919628
>it USED to be a problem so it's still a problem
are you even listening to yourself? /vp/ has barely any genuine traffic, 99% of posts on that board are ritualposts, genwar baitposts, or autists silently bumping their waifu's thread.

>>714912245 (OP)
nortubel deserves its own board

>>714912245 (OP)
Crazy how they haven't updated that shit in years. Not even when they added mp4 support.

>>714917525
>max capacity
i post in minecraft general because i'm autistic and sometimes it goes for 4 hours of no posts and it still doesn't fall off page 10
if your shitty thread can't even get a single post in FOUR HOURS does it really deserve to live

>>714912245 (OP)
I don't think about them at all.

>>714921393
No real major updates worth noting, and mp4 support really isn't worth noting. It's a basic update that doesn't change much (beyond lowering the overall quality of what is uploaded dramatically).

>>714912245 (OP)
>vrpg and vst
niche boards, they're okay for what they are
>vmg
pointless because the jannies never move the gacha threads to there
>vm
it's vg but with a worse schizo problem due to the board being slower. it's alright besides a couple of threads.
it could use some better board functionality, though, like how /tg/ lets you roll dice. maybe a larger OP limit or other features that would make hosting lobbies/games better just the jannies still aren't giving multi-image functionality to posts like some of the alt chans
