/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>le /jp/

Has /jp/ ever really been that way?

>>10721152
Yes.

A few times I decided to be a faggot and use /jp/ (and pre-split /a/ before /jp/ even existed) as a kind of a short-term image hosting service. Okay, some of it was OC, but mostly I was making reposts of reposts. I'd be fine with the threads being ignored and safely pruned a few hours later, but no, they always got responses. People saw a picture and interpreted it as a sign that you can talk about what it described underneath. And they did.

Now, it seems like no-one wants to talk anymore.

Yes, but only for very loose definitions of "on-topic."

>>10721211
I think this topic might fail now because you're explicitly drawing out posts, and people might be embarrassed to oblige you as it could come off as artificial.
I hope this thread does get a lot of posts, though. We haven't had any good discussions lately.

>>10721232
I agree it would be a crappy way of drawing out posts, but I'm not. I was honest here, it was just a test (and I didn't even say what I was testing). The test is now over, and so is my interest in the thread.

Not that I won't stay around if people actually do start talking. It will depend on merits of their posts, though. I feel no responsibility or attachment here.

Check out this 2012 newfag /q/ueer going on about quality while making shitty, worthless metathreads. Kill yourself out of /jp/.

That was fucking adorable.

Can you make another?

That's because 70% of all threads are now spam which is posted over and over until it isn't fun anymore, or it probally never was fun to begin with.
This scared away most awesome people who would turn a lame thread by an outsider into a 200 post discussion about anything you could imagine

>post a random image on /jp/
>go back half an hour later
I hate it when people do this. It's irresponsible and pure laziness. If you make a thread you should try to encourage discussion yourself, not rely on other people to do it for you.

>>10721682
Then again, meta threads such as this one always had the most replies within the shortest time.
/jp/ used to love nothing more than discussing how bad /jp/ is

get wreked fukin punk ass fuckboy

Just where do you think you are?

Canada is fucking shit.

Hence why quebec wants to seperate.
I wish there were otaku political parties. I'd vote for that.

Actually, it's not only /jp/. The 'plague' have pretty much taken 4chan.

This is the year of normalfags and social networks, at this point we cannot really do anything against it.
