Thread 12025505

what the fuck is happening to this board

>>12025505 (OP)
At least it's better than "!' threads

The elephant in the room: I miss when /vr/ was good

Elephant in the room:
4chan ran over by engagement bots
That or persistent autists who want (You)s, not sure what's worse

The big hack scared all the jannies. That is why there are so many frog threads lately.

>>12025505 (OP)
All dads passed away.

The list just keeps growing each week. I don't care, even if it goes up to 99% of filtered dogshit threads, shitposters won't make me participate in them.

I also filter most Nintendo stuff so that's a huge chunk of filtered threads

This is what I get when I search "dad"
Metal Slug is there because OP's file name is my-late-dads-favorite-game.gif

>>12025516
The weird thing is that /vr/ had mods with good opsec, nothing damning sufficed about them, yet they still left. It looks like rapeape just forced everyone out and swept clean. Conspiracy time...

No fun allowed

My dad passed away. This was his favorite thread even up to the bump limit he still asked me to fall for engagement bait with him.

The shitcubie schizo is fucking annoying

>>12025548
I think you're missing an essential component in your shitposting, which is to be "fun". God I miss old trolling, the new batch of zoomers simply don't get it and think they can force memes just by repeating them endlessly, no matter how bad.

>is that...IS THAT LANGUAGE I DON'T APPROVE OF?????? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M GOING INSANNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE BOARD IS DYING THE BOARD IS DYING HELP ME JANNY
another reason for why all autists need to be put in camps

Who won?

>>12025556
>I'm too cool for reddit
>but I must make 4chan a bunch of retarded same-phrasing and beaten dead horse memes just like reddit
I think zoomers are too young to have gotten any exposure to reddit themselves to even know what sucks about it, they just jumped straight here and wound up doing all the things that make redditors fucking fags

>>12025562
I know, I live how these losers are screaming into the wind now that tranny janny is gone

>>12025505 (OP)
The board is getting taken over by bots :'(

Dedicated shitposters ruined another board. They don't care about retro games their hobby is shitposting

>>12025541

holy fuck my sides

>>12025562
>all autists need to be put in camps
Objective complete. You will never leave.

>>12025505 (OP)
This board is always has a constant need to force memes. Sega System, Floigan Bros, made up genre names etc.

>>12025514
I think people hire companies as engagement bots but they're secretly a basement full of autistic Indians. The worst of the worst of the worst.

>>12025541
>Elephant Slug in the Optional Room
heh

>>12025505 (OP)
The Sonic autist got mad, now he's trying guerilla methods to get other shitposters to spam his ritual topic.

>artificial vidya retro "culture"
Does/v/ jr. REALLY?

>Janitor applications are now being accepted. Click here to apply.
Will the new janny save /vr/?

>/vr/ is slowly dying now too and turning into /v/ spam threads

there really is no sanctuary everything goes to shit

>Sees mild trolling and memes
>Gets so bad they start posting about it, even making threads (feeding the trolls)
>Wonders why it continues
One day this cycle will eventually teach you to chill out.
Welcome to real 4chan, not some janny's safe space echo chamber.

>>12025568
>>12025556
Whether you like it or not, forced memes have always been a 4chan tradition and it is disingenuous to pretend it isn't.

Current /vr/ > pre-hack /vr/

>>12025781
Yeah it must be great for people who don't even like retro vidya and come here just to shitpost

>>12025505 (OP)
Half the posts on this whole site are just Mossad chat bots.

>>12025798
I like retro vidya. Cope.

get with the times, boomer

>>12025798
>Yeah it must be great for people who don't even like retro vidya and come here just to shitpost
I like retro vidya, I only play pre-03 or so. I've been on 4chinz for [fuck] 17 years and all of my bans were from /vr/ from the last 3 years - from legit on-topic posts. I don't even shitpost. That janny was ruining the board and clearly just locked or banned things he didn't like or agree with, which is bullshit. If you want a moderated experience go to literally any site other than 4chan, the wildness is what makes this site what it is.
Chill out and learn to not feed the trolls (aka don't get butt-flustered by anything you don't like), they love seeing you mad. It'll be a cathartic experience, we can do this together frens.

>>12025845
>from legit on-topic posts
right...

>>12025852
Yeah, they were on-topic. I don't fuck around, I don't even insult people ever, and IDGAF about politics. The janny was just abusing his power.

>>12025781
>pre-hack
do newfags really?
The real change happened after the rule change of 2020, that's when the board got a massive userbase change.
To be fair it was already shit a bit before that (mostly because the 6th gen insistors were already spamming), but 2020 was the year.
Go check /vr/ archives from 2013/2014 and the compare it to 2020/now and cry

>>12025630
>made up genre names
Yeah, people keep insisting on terms like "Metriodvania", or "First Person Shooter". While people that have been in the hobby for decades know that the proper terms are "Search Action" and "Doom Clone".

>>12025505 (OP)
I noticed this last night but it was only 3-4 threads iirc.

>>12025543
>Conspiracy time...
If you really, really want to know. I have weird people monitoring my internet activity and they follow me around and try to make me feel uncomfortable being on the internet because I know a lot of secrets about the systems of power on earth and they fucking follow me around on boards, even making references to things I've written in other threads directed at me. I know I sound schizo, but it's true.

I've been here since 2008-2009 and I'm sorry for bringing my mess on here. I know most if not all will dismiss me as crazy but I'm serious. I genuinely apologize for bringing these faggots on here and lowering the quality of the website to try and scare the user base away because of how much I've shared already.

Not going to respond to anyone, I'd prefer it if you just read this and made up your mind as to whether I'm telling the truth or not. I won't bother reading the responses but just understand I apologize.

>>12025876
The rule change was good. This board has always had a problem with resident schizos and attention seekers from /v/.
Prior to the rule change we had endless thinly veiled US vs UK threads masquerading as speccy or console war threads.
Don't forget the advertising spam from Retrobit, 8bitdo etc.
Oh and now any faggot can call upon their Discord friends to raid any thread and turn it into a flamewar.
1/3 of the board was actually vidya and the rest was recycled autism.
Never forget after the rule change that the resident schizos spammed the board with falseflags threads for a week in protest whilst all the zoomers happily discussed their GBA games or whatever.
I bet the race/shmup autist is still here shitting up the board daily.

>>12025943
All the problems you listen still persist and anyway those started appearing around 2018-ish when 6th gen spammers also appeared, coincidentially.
Now, besides all those problems, we have 6th gen console war shitposting (like 50% of nu/vr/).
Don't act like they didn't fuck up by not making /v2k/, it's been 5 years since the fuckup and evidence is as clear as day.

>>12025886
"Beltscroller" and "scotformer" will never catch on. Cope.

>>12025505 (OP)
>what the fuck is happening to this board
Our previous janny quit after the dox. While I felt like the moderation was a bit excessive sometimes, it was still better than what we have right now

>>12025505 (OP)
>what the fuck is happening to this board
Elephants

>>12025958
I only just came back. I can totally believe it's /v/ 2.0 now.
My post is still relevant.

There was a shader schizo in the handheld containment thread. He sperged out and the janny quit after 3 days straight of the schizo’s spamming.

>>12025991
post threads

>>12025630
what? you don't like unfunny "willyvania" and "mayor" spam?

>>12026003
No? I don’t keep track of old threads?

>>12025556
And it worked. You said "zoomer", which was a forced meme.

Let's address the elephant in the room

>>12025556
No fun allowed

>>12026023
Why?
You don’t think it’s important?

>>12026023
You're asking me?

>>12025964
Some of those terms "caught on" long ago.

>>12026065
Why is it in English if it’s Japanese

>>12025505 (OP)
>what the fuck is happening to this board
It has only gotten better. 6th gen was the best idea since sliced bread. Until giving underage trannies the power to ban people. Best idea EVAR! We are truly blessed by the abundance of greatness this boards has become due to these wise decisions. All praise to our dear leader for making 4chan the shining example of anonymous free speech it is today.

>>12026070
I'm not a Jap developer. Why is Sin and Punishment fully voice acted in English if it never left Japan for the N64?

>>12025729
/vr/ was better when the nazi moderation was actually useful to kick out /v/tard and aussie spam.

>>12025516
4chan never should've come back. for a good 2 weeks there was hope that a decent alternative or 6 would rise from the ashes, but nope, it just HAD to come back. if you were actually happy about this shithole coming back online, you should kill yourself

>>12026136
>posted on 4chan

Maybe we'll get a new janitor that can save the board and bring it back to how it was before the take down but I don't have my hopes up

P.S: If your thread does any of those things
>"elephant room"
>"dead dad"
>any other "forced meme of the week"
>frog posting

I will not post in it even if I actually have interesting things to say about the games the threads pretend to talk about. And I advise you all do the same instead of encouraging them, also sage is not a valid way to respond to threads you don't like, the only valid move is not to post at all

>>12026145
>I will not post in it even if I actually have interesting things to say about the games the threads pretend to talk about.
See what I'm talking about? It's a cathartic learning experience for all!

>>12026140
Where else am I supposed to go? The fucking sharty?

The way the OP makes a valid point.

>>12026145
Oh my god, talking to you is such a privilege

Elephant chads, how will we recover from this dumb fag not bumping our threads?

>>12025876
>>12025870

I agree both that this place is a little better since the hack, but it's been spiraling down for a long time. I feel a little bad since back then I was one of the most vocal supporters of the rule change instead of /nuvr/. The place was starting to really feel stagnant, I thought a rules expansion would be good. Plus Babbages Gramps was pro /nuvr/and I hated that tripfagging twat with a vengeance.

>Come to the board about older videogames
>Post memes made after 2007
ALL YOU HAD TO FUCKING DO WAS TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF THE FUCKING GAME YOU ARE PLAYING AND USE THAT AS THE OP, HOW HARD IS THAT YOU FUCKING PEPE-BRAINED MORONS

>>12026162
If you post shit, expect shit in return

>>12026145
Either that, or brap them into oblivion

>>12025505 (OP)
These are what we call activity simulation threads. They are placed on the board to give the impression that there's a larger userbase than there really is here.

Similar to the DOOM general, which is botted all to fuck. Yet if you go in there and start talking DOOM they don't reply sensibly. Or the /hhg/ and 3x3 and other ad threads.

>>12026206
What threads in the catalog are not botted currently?

>>12026206
Basically this is hard reality
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

>>12026206
you can tell an unbotted thread apart if my effortposting kills it

>>12026219
I haven't looked at all 150 threads in detail. I know for a fact that /hhg/ and the Doom and 3x3 threads are botted all to fuck. Also that one site where you go and post get high scores or whatever. Absolutely an ad-thread lol. Go in and post in some of these some time.

>>12026225
This is very common. Make a reply, the bots stop, and then the thread dies. Activity simulation successful... or is it?

>>12026050
Of course it’s not important.

>>12026169
Ugh, there was that faggot Princess Sevenleaf too. Annoying coomer tried turning every thread into horny posting off topic shit.

>>12025641
The redpill is that there is no meaningful difference.

The dad and elephant meta are just slide threads, likely for the purpose of killing frogs. I don't care because I post in threads with topics that don't resolve themselves in five posts

This is obviously a Discord full of losers latching onto the lax moderation to "ruin" a 4chan board. Bots would make better posts.

The "mods" and "janitors" don't care about the quality of this board, or any board on this website. They want to bring in as many anarchistic, sociopathic, intellectually regressive subhuman troglodytes as possible so that they can make money off of them through ad revenue and because they're under direct orders from hiroyuki and rapeape to do so. Furthermore, if you use the report function against those aforementioned "people" and their shitty, rule breaking threads and posts and encourage others to do the same in order to help improve a board, you get rangebanned from reporting and posting.
The only possible way to salvage 4chan is by a changing of the guard, and since they refuse to step down willingly, they must be removed forcefully.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, therefore each and every single mod needs to be doxxed, hunted down, and murdered.
With the April 14th hack, all of their personal information has now become common knowledge. All that remains is for a martyr to make the sacrifice.

>>12026036
A total of 5 active threads must contain an elephant in the room to retain balance. Any less and the scales shall fall.

>>12026260
Saved before this is inevitably deleted.

>>12026260
I appreciate that this pasta got updated.
