/jp/ - Otaku Culture

OK /jp/, I need some help figuring what the fuck this board does.

I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks because /a/ has annoyed the fuck out of me. I figured this place would make more sense because it seems, for lack of a better term, more esoteric.

So far, there's only been three different threads that I've seen since I started lurking:

1. "SHITPOST" threads
2. "STOP ALL THIS SHITPOSTING THREADS BRING BACK OLD /JP/" threads.
3. Some stuff about otaku culture.

Now, being relatively new here, I have no idea what specifically is considered a "shitpost." Being relatively new here, I also have no idea what specifically "old /jp/" was like, aside from lacking in shitposts.

So help me out here. I want to be a CONTRIBUTING member of this board.
Tell me, CLEARLY, what makes a good and bad post on this board.
Or tell me to fuck off back to whatever shithole I came out of. Either way...
