/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>45628348
This board is quite slow so new threads are usually made when they're just a couple ones away from going off the board on the page 10.

>>45396858
The sitting Reimu thread is kind of an exception because so many people liked it that it gets bumped every time it reaches page 10, and this goes back to reinforce my point that 2hu threads can still survive, assuming enough people take interest.
But here I was talking about threads like >>/jp/thread/42628623 or >>/jp/thread/42950951 where the subject is good but there is not enough interest because the idea of the thread is new, unusual or niche.
>>45396858
>hololivers where spamming Touhou threads and even were sometimes trying to "hijack" them
Ok but that doesn't happen now, so why don't people go back?
>especially if crossie behaviour like greentexting and twitter slang are apparently accepted here
They're still not accepted, just look at top of this thread.
>They'd rather be on an altchan that doesn't have bullshit like that
I only know 2 altchans which have a 2hu-only board (actually 3 but that 3rd one is on tor which makes it difficult to use), they are so unbearably slow, you can't really discuss any niche subjects related to 2hu because there are already very few people there who will take interest in such threads so you're guaranteed to not get any replies within any reasonable timeframe. If you know an altchan with more than 1 post per day then let me know.
>You are forgetting about also teaching newfags local board culture
People will learn that on their own just like you and I did. Everyone was a newfag at some point, it only takes few days of lurking to learn the board culture. I am not saying you should completely give up calling people out, just use your common sense to determine which posters are likely to become future dedicated /jp/ posters and which ones won't.

>Threads like this one: >>/jp/thread/33578796
There was actually a thread just like this a while ago: >>/jp/thread/43562687 ,
and people didn't call it schizo or anything, I think you're just being too cynical.

some other boards on this site remake their generals as soon as they hit bump limit.. i try to tell them to wait to page 9-10 because it's a slow board but no one cares. /djt/ is civilized and this site contains savages

will explain it more in depth for you two newfags than the other guy did
>every thread has a "bump limit" and "image limit", each board has their own unique limits but on /jp/ its 310 and 300 respectively.
>whenever a post is made, that thread gets bumped to be the first thread on the board, so anyone that views the catalog or index when the thread is bumped will see that thread right there at the front
>this action will also push all other threads "down" the catalog, down to where the bumped thread was removed from.
>this also happens when a thread is created, with the thread at the bottom of the catalog being removed to make room in the catalog.
>the removed thread will then be stored temporarily onsite (accessible through the archive button on the board's front page), but can be accessed through that board's archive site at any time. for jp this site is >>/jp/
>once the bump limit is hit, the thread can still be replied to but further posts wont change its position in the archive. and can only be moved by threads below it getting bumped or new threads being created
>so suppose we have threads 1-10, currently ordered as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
>if thread 5 is bumped, the new order will be 5,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10
>thread 4 is replied to, but its at the bump limit so it doesnt move up the board. meaning the order is the same
>if thread 11 is made, thread 10 will be bumped off of the board for a new order of 11,5,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9
>for general or reoccurring threads like this one, its common (forgotten) courtesy to make a new thread when the old one gets bumped off of the board. we follow this rule here as /jp/ is relatively slow. otherwise we could end up with a catalog that looks like: 1,5,4,2,3,4,2,4,2,4. with most of the catalog just being dead threads waiting to get bumped off
>because of the image limit, its also common courtesy to ONLY post ontopic images. as for when we hit the image limit just use catbox if you absolutely need to post a monstergirl image under this circumstance
>>42803207
fuck off furfag.

>>40888039
Personally I wait till the last slot on page 10 before making one. This is a relatively slow board so there's no rush.

>>38612560
No, this is a relatively slow board for thread turnover. Wait until late on page 10

>>38517921
/jp/ is a slow board. There are still around 10 threads ahead of this one on the last page. This thread will probably be up even 5 or 6 hours later, if not more.

>>37549074
Don't use "edition", don't make a thread before previous one 404s, don't post it in the previous one. This is a slow board, page 10 can last for hours.
We're guests here, we need to behave.

>>34466696
Eh, not really, there are some threads on this board that have hundreds of posts that rage page 10 every once in a while, there are some niche threads that people enjoy even if it only gets a couple of posts a day, such is the nature of a slow board which /jp/ is.

If you want to see a really slow board go to page 10 on papercraft and origami, they have some threads that are at least 4 years old.

>>31105038
This. Every holo thread outside of the generals are slow as molasses and gather 6 posts of platitudes before sinking terminally to page 10. All that's happening right now is shitposters are creating extraneous threads in bad faith to disrupt the rest of the board while all the discussion just carries on in here like nothing changed.

>We wait to make new threads until the current one is on page 10 with 300+ replies because otherwise we're collectively bumping off older and slower threads.
It is essentially this.
The fundamental issue is that /jp/ is the catch-all for all otaku topics that don't fit on the other weeb boards, without discriminating on generals. As other boards do discriminate on generals, they are often moved to, or are created on, this board.

This makes a weird middle-ground where /jp/ is part:
>weeb /vg/
>idol generals (including vtubers)
>various idiosyncratic generals
>standalone "otaku culture" threads (2hu, 2d im@s, NEET, JP memes, etc.)
Unlike on /vg/, the majority of threads on /jp/ (including many generals) are slow enough that if a fast general makes new threads shortly after the old general hits autosage, there is the possibility of 3+ threads of the same general winding up on the catalog. If this happens with a few generals, you could be pushing a whole page of other threads off the catalog. You might argue that they were probably shit, but that still beats threads that are implicitly marked for dead.

None of this is blindingly apparent if you stick to few generals, so I can see why it is viewed as an arbitrary rule.

Hey newfags, stop trying to be the one to make the threads so you can put some ugly whore before another fag does.

/jp/ is a slow board so this thread will be around for hours even if it's on page 10. You don't have to worry about an ongoing general thread dying.

Do you guys have any idea how slow this board is. The last thread was on page 10 for hours, still.

>>20956490
>bottom half of page 10
>10 fucking hours of life
I know the board is slow, but this just isn't true.

>>20350352
/jp/ is a slow board, wait until we reach page 10. This thread can easily last another day.

I still have the tab open from when I opened the catalog to check, you can easily see there were 4 threads to go before ours. And again, in the last 30~ minutes, only TWO threads were made

>>20245191
That's an interesting thought, the only way to explain our premature 404ing is janny trying to clean up and just decided to delete all the generals he sees on page 10

>>20245194
Page 10 doesn't mean it's close to getting bumped off, as new threads are made the threads start shuffling top to bottom, left to right. So taking this example, if a new thread is made then the BABYMETAL general gets bumped off first, then the yukkuri shitpost one, then the Yuyuko one, etc.

>>20245195
it's not about being slow, but it doesn't make sense why the thread would suddenly die when it's nowhere close. Remember back when we used to bitch out on people who made threads early before the thread 404'd on it's own? This board is slow so even being on page 10 can last for many, many hours

>>20146954
/jp/ is a slow board. Once a thread hits bump limit, it stays on page 9-10 for about a day or two. Also
>>20146974
This.
Every VNTS thread gets posted at 2-6 AM Eastern Time, so next one should be up in about 6-10 hours.

>>19933361
This happened about 6 months ago and people started spamming Vocaloid threads as soon as the bump limit was reached, even when the thread was at page 3. This caused slow threads to be involuntarily bumped off too early. Additionally, there were dupe threads for waifu fags arguing for a Miku op / non Miku op.

I just don’t want a repeat of that. If you can’t use the catalogue to find a Vocaloid thread on page 10, please leave /jp/.

I know I sound anal and autistic, but I just don’t want this trend to continue. I’d rather be stern now and attempt to nip this in the bud. This board is super slow, and it’s not nice to other people on the board who have their niche threads just like us.

>>19310234
My problem isn't with the OP which you seem to think it is. It's the fact that you're rushing to make a thread on this slow as fuck board. There's absolutely no need to when there are almost 200 images to spare and the thread will survive for another few hours on page 10. This isn't /a/ or /vg/, and this certainly isn't your home board.

>>18839286
>>18839324
The new thread is posted by the collage-making anon (for as long as this steady stream of OC lasts) when the thread is close to the end of page 10. Often after hitting bump limit the thread will stay alive for a day or two. It would be inappropriate to make a new thread when the old one has so long to live and would shit up the board with abandoned threads. This is a slow board.

>>17570853
>At this point there's enough material to make /tvjp/
There isn't, though. You're overestimating how many people there are in these threads. This wouldn't fit in on /tv/ and they'd shun it even harder because it's Japanese and "weebshit". This thread got 135 replies in a month while teetering on the verge of falling off page 10 numerous times. You think that there would be "enough material" to warrant making an entire new board for this?
/jp/ is a slow board but there's still dozens of touhou threads created every few hours. This and idols fit in way more with otaku culture than any other category, and are definitely not big enough to make a new board for.

>>17557308
You'll be waiting for a while. I don't make a thread till its on the edge of page 10 and /jp/ is a slow board anywho.
I'm not saying to make a thread, seriously,
don't make a thread, we still got probably 10-12 hours of this thread left.

>>17340856
doesnt matter until the thread reaches page 10 since this board is slow

>>16917152
Autism time. /jp/ has a new thread creation rate of a bit over an hour if you only count non-deleted OP's, to around a half-hour if you include deleted OPs (from a small selection of OP posts from waruso). The old thread is on page 8, with 35 threads between it and falling off page 10. So it may take almost 1 day, to 1 day and a half before the old thread dies. A few threads on the /jp/ are very fast, but most of the board is very slow. That's why this thread >>16907743 has over 1000 posts and this thread >>16907220 has over 2000. For comparison, the old /alt/ thread has a bit over 500.
tl;dr, page 8 is premature to make a new thread. Do what you want, though.
