/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Now what?

The only reason I even come here anymore is because 2+6chan's /jp/ and /tg/ boards move at glacial speeds.

I don't even want to think of what's going to happen to the site once the new SJW or Gawker or whatever mod claims power. I just wanted to take it easy.

>>12935338
migrate to wheelchan maybe

>>12935338
I... I don't know

>>12935338
Why do you sound like this is somewhat of a negative development? This site will be million times better without the Grand Jew.

>>12935343
Maybe they will get more activity now

holy shit reminder to spam his inbox with whch 2hu wud u fug? and why do you hate /jp/? like usual for his q&a. I have already sent three.

>>12935352
Or worse.

Don't get your hopes up, moot is bad but other people are worse.

>>12935352

I think everyone here would prefer the evil they know over the evil waiting to finish establishing complete control over 4chan, Anon.

>>12935352
The Janny from 2012 is a mod now and most likely a pretty high ranking one since he covers here and /a/. I hate moot but everyone else is terrible, but its not like anyone post here anymore

>>12935352
This site is too famous for the next mod to be "better".

Yes, finally!

...is what I thought at first. Then I read >>12935343, the "Team 4chan is also at its largest" statement came to my mind and I remembered those rumors from some months ago about moot having replaced almost all the old staff with outsiders.

I'm afraid... moot is definitely a disgusting normie and a toxic influence, but I'm not sure if whatever comes next will be better...

you will all learn to retroactively appreciate chris after some identity politics obsessed sperg inevitably takes over this site via his/her/its long list of goon srs illuminati contacts

>>12935359
Or not. It literally cannot get any worse than j00t ru(i)nning the website.

>>12935361
It's the same people that have run this place for years. It's nothing new, really, just less faggotry from the admin.

>>12935364
Stop with the shitty memes. There's no way to become a mod without knowing the Kike personally, let alone becoming a mod after just 2 years.

>>12935371
He admitting to it in one of our irc but of course crossies like you wouldn't know that.

>>12935375
Yes, I am sure he did. It definitely wasn't some /s4s/ warosu shitter. Just fuck off this board, kid.

>>12935371
>Or not. It literally cannot get any worse than j00t ru(i)nning the website.
Uh, it can.

I can think of an easy one: complete banning of any lewd content and words like faggot and nigger.

I just hope nothing changes.

It's a shame, I couldn't give a shit about the shit /v/ is angry at but at the same time I should because that stuff could decide to get /jp/ banned.

Also I don't want someone who thinks /a/ and /jp/ should be fused either.

And I don't want someone who shouts FREEDOM everywhere thinking every board turning into a [s4s] shitfest is pretty funny or someone who wants to bomb 4chan with new features that ruin the UI like in 8shit.

Does this mean we can finally have an /l/ board?

>>12935378

LMAO he doesn't know about our secret IRCs. Where you from kid?

>>12935384
Never going to happen.

>>12935386
Fuck the IRCs, all you do is shitpost and then come here to shitpost some more.

>>12935380
How does that even make sense? Just get your head out of your ass, idiot.

>>12935386
I am from /jp/. You? Wait, I don't really care. Just make sure to fuck off back there and stay there.

>>12935389
>>12935397
>he isn't part of the secret irc
Why are you even alive?

>>12935386
Fuck that shit, along with the other spinoff boards.
All you is climb the social ladder of your secret club like tripfags think they're doing here on 4chan.

>>12935401
Go back to /v/ shrek

he should just axe it all together instead of leaving it to bleed to death

maybe some new genuine place will spring up then instead of all the awful meta ironic spin-offs

>>12935343
>>12935345
>>12935368
You guys reek of /v/.

>>12935403

>>12935410
Everyone on crippledchan is a retard more news at eleven.

>>12935384
Don't you mean bring it back?

>>12935410

Woah woah woah buddy, hey, you did NOT just tell me I'm from /v/.

/jp/ was right, long before /new/ and /pol/.
Long before brothers.

>>12935420
>>>/crippledcuckchan/

Shitposters - 1
moot - 0

Finally chased out of his own website as he realises that normie trash isn't welcome or wanted.

I only come to 4freechan to shitpost, it doesn't matter who the admin is

feel when m00t left 4chan before you did

It was always going to happen and from what he said in the post there isnt going to be some new head taking over but rather the team that is currently doing stuff is just going to keep rolling together so I cant see any radical changes from left field coming in over night, although I think many people will see it as an opportunity to poll and advocate for change.

>>12935422
Are you honestly redirecting people while using memes from other boards?

>>12935422
cripplecuckchan has a loli board that's all I care about

>>12935430
Most of the shitposters are far from normie, they are the bad kind of NEETs that shit boards with their memes.
But you're right, shitposters 1 moot 0.

>>12935437
Why do you need a loli board? Just go to pixiv or a booru.

NEW 4chan rules

1) Offensive posts will be removed. This includes harassment, shitposting, and insulting equality

2) No posting images or comments relating to illegal torrents or downloads. If you must post about video or music, do it in a timely, legal manner.

3) Listen to the moderation staff. If a moderator jumps into a thread and tells you to stop saying something or stop acting a certain way, you must comply or face the consequences of your actions.

4) 4chan reserves the right to alter your posts as we see fit after you post them. Once they leave your hands they are no longer your content.

5) 4chan, in an attempt to increase revenue, will now operate under 2 models, the choice of which is yours. The new "free" model will entitle you to a 140 character limit and text posting only. To post, you must complete a survey for our advertisers. If your survey fails our janitor screening for content quality, your post will not go through. Our "paid" option will be similar to our current posting scheme - it requires a legal, real life ID, access to your bank account, and a monthly payment to know who you are and give accountability.

6) You're free to post whatever is on your mind within these rules! Your posts, however, will be wordfiltered as required to meet our quality standards.

Thanks for browsing NEW 4chan, and enjoy your stay!

>I've come to represent an uncomfortably large single point of failure

Not sure if I should feel offended by that.

>>12935435
Umm sonic is a /jp/ meme

>>12935437
that one german loli board is 10 times better

Truly this is the end
Its been good, but it's only a matter of time until things go the way of Something Awful

>>12935439
Nice shitpost, brother. Very epic and subtle "neckbeard" meme usage.

>>12935437
I dont know why we even need image dumping boards any more with the massive galleries that boorus house and reverse image searching being so prevalent.

>>12935443

The point of a loli board is for recommendations and saves to your booru accounts.

>>12935447
Hardly and cuck is a /pol/ / /v/ meme.

>>12935443
its not that kinda loli

He told me that 4chan would die before he resigned but I told him that he would break before that. It looks like I was right.

Is anyone else sorta worried that the site's gonna turn to absolute trash in the coming months/years? I know it's already horrible but you know what I mean. I'm sure those mods have discussed things they would do to the site if moot wasn't around, and now they'll be able to do whatever. I don't know if those plans are just minor or major things, but I really hope this site doesn't get worse than it is now.

I'm sure I'm worrying about nothing though.

>>12935433
He won't leave. He will be lurking and posting as anon.
No one ever managed toescape this hell, not even in death.

>>12935433
Are we really here forever?

>>12935455
/tv/ pls leave

>>12935430
And just look at this thread.
Nothing has happened yet and it already became a meme crossie shitpost zone.

>>12935450
>Very epic
>subtle "neckbeard" meme usage.
You're one of the retards that shit threads, go fuck yourself your little shit.

bring back snacks

But this was supposed to be the place where I can safely discuss untranslated porn games without having to deal with powertripping mods or "scene people".

>>12935454
You are one of those crossies from /a/ aren't you?

>>12935461
/jp/ were pedo long before /tv/. It's just the mods stopped it.

>>12935463
Amen
*tips anti-opinion hat*

>>12935462

Give it some time and the warosu army will bring /jp/ back to the good old days of quality /jp/ shitposting. This is just some /a/v/ crossies riding the wave of excitement to do some smalltime shitposting

>>12935467
This place already has powertripping mods.

Goodbye, moot

>>12935461
Which board did you come from /jp/ is pretty hardcore pedo we use to post cp here

>>12935471
>Fedora meme
>I'm not the shitposter meme fag guise, seriously!

>>12935461
That's the loli of a /jp/sie, newlord.

>>12935468
Of course not, is this your way of defending yourself? Just blame it on cross boarders?
The meme is from elsewhere.

>>12935371
>There's no way to become a mod without knowing the Kike personally

You realize that's almost as bad given that he's been hanging around normies and SJWs for years now, right?

Like, his links to Gawker have been well established by this point, and frankly I have no reason to believe anything he says. All you can do is read between the lines and see what makes the most sense.

>>12935452
To chat with other lolicons.

>>12935490
Guys I got paper stuck in my ear what do?

>>12935502
Sounds really awful.

yfw /jp/ has no janitors because they didn't present their IDs

>>12935511
Hm?

>>12935506
It is actually. Almost every pedo/lolicon I've met outside of /jp/ (and pre-2008 /b/) has been fucking retarded.

He's still going to collect the sheckles, right?
I don't see moot getting a real job or attempting yet another failed meme site.

I think you give him too much crap. He has done a great job at doing stuff without me having to care at all. As long as I can keep not caring about who runs the site, all will be well.

who mazacon here

>>12935540

Man what the fuck is happening anymore.

>>12935364
kek

>>12935555

Well, ashes to ashes and all that

post yfw mootles sold out and is now sitting comfortably on a big stack of money

>>12935569
be real for a minute

would you want to admin this stupid site?

who the fuck cares

I don't think that anyone really gives a fuck about /jp/.
Shitposts in peace.

So who is he selling the site to then?

>>12935575
Me because the new admin will be American and we all know what kid of retards they are. He will start banning ecchi images with other cuck mods because muh feelings.

>>12935588
Did you read the news post or did you just decide to share your inane opinion anyway?

>>12935569
He should have sold out like 8 years ago when he was offered $2m for the site. Now he's leaving with nothing.

>>12935596
I did read it, and the last time I saw something like this it was because the owner sold his site to some company.

Why do people think he sold the site? Who the fuck is going to buy this awful place?

>>12935609
Oh, I see. So you were just an idiot who think his personal anecdote is somehow representative of all such situations. Why don't you go and kill yourself, you worthless shitlord?

>>12935613
Just idiots like >>12935609

>>12935540
Me

>>12935467
But it still is. No one has bothered VN General even in 2011 dude.

There is little money to be made from this site, and its only from ads. The only reason he was ever offered money in the past was because dumb ass corporates thought you could copyright memes and make money from them.

>>12935571
I'd have never let this site get "shit" in the first place.
That's a moot issue.

He was the one that destroyed this site by removing identity and social punishment when he made bans invisible.
This site was an attentionwhore playpit for years before he shit on it.
But at least then it was the fun kind of shit, not this shit.

>>12935370
sorry but I have to agree with this. I don't like how he handled some stuff but the guy got worn down by the site. Yes, he deserved the flack he got, but he also deserved a little more support from his user base. You can't expect him to fall on his sword for a site when it's users would abandon ship as soon as things went south.

>>12935364
>implying i'll come back after this agreement
Kek

Fuck, I'm now afraid we'll get busted by the new gawker admin for being pedos. Just like /pol/ will for being right, /tg/ will for being lewd, and /v/ for being angry.

Am I the only one who thinks that all 2D/otaku boards except /a/ are going to get axed?

>>12935613
This site has unlimited potential.

>>12935623
You mean apart from 4chan pass?
100,000 passes at $10 a pop is a lot of money, bro.
Actually more like 50,000 were sold.
But that's a lot of money.

>>12935613
Gawker :^)

All discussion of pedophilia, waifus or "icky, misogynistic" sexual preference now = instapermab&. /jp/, /a/, and any kind of japan culture boards get removed and replaced with board on-par with /lgbt/ (same with any kind of porn board), and the "Cathedral of Muhsoggyknees" gets taken off the map. Why WOULDN'T they buy this place?

Oh, yeah, and 18+ rule would likely get removed. Because what's wrong with a few teens posting about all their favorite musicians and video games, like Taylor Swift or Call of Duty, am I right?

>>12935555

>>12935646

look what he did to this place

it's still smoldering

i hope this site dies soon its not getting better anyway

good riddance moot you gigantic fuck up

the only respectable thing left is you like Asuka

>>12935678
cause it might get even worse now

>>12935645
The 18+ does nothing. Are you telling me you actually waited until you were 18 to post on this site?

>>12935676
half of them are robots and another 45% are ban evaders using dynamic IPs.

>>12935678
>why aren't you fags rejoicing

Because look at this fucking thread.
I'd rather die with the ship than rejoice with faggots like you.

>>12935678
Because nothing can possibly go wrong, right?

>>12935678
>why aren't you fags rejoicing
Because we can't leave until the site is shut down.
If we get a worse admin, the pain will only greaten.

>>12935678
It's harder to tell what will happen when a group of people who you know nothing about suddenly become in charge of a site full of people who don't want the site to get any worse. There are a lot of things they could do to make things better but you know that won't happen.

>>12935329
Nothing is going to change. The people that actually do the work aren't stepping down, just Moot.

There may be some differences, such as who gets the final say on who/what becomes mods/janitors/boards and it will probably be the current lead dev which will be fine if it's still dan.

>>12935678
>why aren't you fags rejoicing
Because nothing is going to change.
moot basically checked out years ago, this is really just a formality.

Janiturd, what the fuck are you doing?

>>12935459
N-naw, we can leave whenever we want!

>>12935703
He has panic attack again!

>>12935683
And didn't moot say on /q/ that he doesn't even mind if there are underage users here? As long as they aren't boasting about it and acting like faggots at least.

>>12935703
Deleted a suspected 4Pq* post.

(I don't think it was him b/c it wasn't a scrot image)

>>12935706
Literally random posts getting deleted. Were those guys banned in another thread/board or what?

What's up with all these deleted posts? I know that metathreads are off topic but this is pretty big news, it'd be nice to discuss it.

>>12935712
Oh wait, he deleted even more posts.

who knows then

>>12935683
I honestly think circa 2006-2007 at least 50% of the board were under 18. I was probably around 14 when I found 4chan from a youtube compilation aptly titled "funny 4chan gifs" that had THIS IS SPARDA remix all over it about 8 years ago. There's also all the people who came from the constant ebaums raid.

I hate Moot and I obviously don't trust anyone he chose as his successor, but I've hated him for like 7 years and yet I'm still here.

The fact that any alternative gets instantly populated with insufferable shits who got chased off 4chan doesn't help. I kinda had hopes for ８ちゃん, Brennan looks like a nice principled guy, but it took me just a glance to realize I want nothing to do with the userbase of his /jp/-related boards. (At least that means /v/ off our backs, now if we got /a/ and w/a/rosu to leave...)

Now, can our new powertripping overlords get this meta shit out of here? It's just inviting the worst scum to come out of hiding. Go remake /q/ or something.

>>12935714
He forget to take his meds for panic attacks. When he see post with too many replies he deletes it. This happend many times its always around lunch or past six when he lose his shit and start randomly flipping out.

>>12935715
This isn't a general

It's a good thing to have outlived moot

I only wish to have outlived him sooner.

How does it mean anything at all?

Mods stay the same, he bans threads he doesn't like, there is no fucking rules.

The board doesn't recover, you just develop Stockholm Syndrome.

The only way for this site to stay relevant is for some freedom of speech obsessed autist like the wheelchair man to take over and open reopen /l/, open a drug board, junior idol board, hikki lifestyle board, train board, reopen rapidshares/open a filesharing board, darkweb board etc. the whole shebang

lets be honest, almost no one ever used the BBS in the coming years to it's death. Even the most active board could see 1-2 post a day.
Of course I'm sure a good portion of that is because most users didn't even know it existed. However it's more likely that people just didn't see the point.

I do miss /prog/ though.

I don't know what /jp/ is like anymore because I haven't been here for years, but I was fond of this community once and I know you guys are probably fucked under new management.

Most of the site is full of retards who are still sucking moots dick, but I know /jp/ has always been relatively insulated from the influence of other boards, so I figured I would tell you guys you're free to make a new board here whenever you might want to. If you still don't mind the state of things now, you probably will soon. Good luck.

>>12935820
>What will he do now? Flip burgers in McDonalds?

What makes you think he hasn't been flipping the burgs in MickyD's?

>>12935770
I didn't say /a/ is leaving. I said I wish it left.

And I said I hate the staff. I just hate them for different reasons than all the people who are vocal about it, and the people who get chased off. In light of the alternatives, they and this board are the lesser evil.

>>12935820
An app where you draw pictures of memes, oh wait.

>>12935799
It was good for finding beast porn.

>>12935822
8 years.

>>12935828
Why would I be interested in reddit and 4chans babby in the making?

>okay so lets have this super fast board that consists of people actually talking
>and lets make everyone have their own special board for everything

>>12935839
holy shit i didnt even notice it was 8 years already

>>12935830
Please explain how it is the lesser evil.

>>12935828
No thanks. Discussion there is somehow worse than it is here despite being slower.

>>12935828
what are the /jp/ related boards on that site? and are there any userscripts for it that don't make browsing a pain
a thread updater is mostly what I need

>>12935799
>>12935835
the horrible feeling of no more dolphin porn

>>12935822
Been quite a while, it sucks. Even though most of the links were [DEAD] it was still useful.

>>12935816
The text boards were an arcane and strange place.
Mostly bot spam, but you see some of the strangest types in there having really interesting discussion, comparatively.

>>12935839
Come on anon, I know it's been here at least 1-2 years ago. I got a /tg/ splatbook from it.

If moot worked at McDonald's every jack ass would work to find out which one then go in everyday and yell at him.

>>12935822
I can't remember the exact date but I think it was sometime last year.

>>12935820

He'll still make money off this site. He hasn't told the truth about 4chan's finances once.

Don't worry Moot is going where all gods go when they pass from this world....
Gensokyo

>>12935828
The last thing /jp/ needs is another fucking board.

>>12935858
Please don't ruin Gensokyo with the Grand Jew.

All good things must come to an end.

>>12935860
No, the last thing /jp/ needs is heavy moderation.

/jp/ today is a heavy controlled environment, no discussion can grow aside from what janny is allowed.

And what's worse, /jp/sies cannot do shit about it.

i havent even been here in a year or two

is ota still alive?
are you guys upset or do you just not give a shit about moot?
was there ever a /jp/ on 2* chan or did no one remotely care?

There's no reason moot isn't still getting paid.

>>12935867
>from what janny allows*

>>12935869
ota is for gay role players

>>12935782

Closing the BBS was the real beginning of the end. It was the most pointlessly violent removal of a feature of the site and user freedom

>>12935869
Ota is at .com. No one will know if they're upset until we see what changes, if anything.

I'm still waiting for reasons why current /jp/ is the "lesser evil".

He never said he was giving up the income from the site, he's just not going to be involved with the operation.

>>12935792
>Aikido
Those were good times.

>>12935869
I stop giving shit about moot the moment after he starts trying to make 4chan normie-friendly and half-succeed at it (look at fucking /co/).

I'm always upset because modern /jp/ is actually pretty shit for discussion, anything controversy would be deleted, everything upsetting the moderation staff would be deleted, and there's always chance that it will get worse.

>>12935900
I loved the one about the kid who used to be a total shithead until he met the guy who knew Aikido.
It brings a tear to my eye.

>>12935803
2012 was when it all started going wrong though.

>>12935867
Okay I get that, but dude, the spin-off market has reached a point of saturation. We're at like a 2:1 board to poster ratio. No more boards

>>12935929
I support more boards as long as we get good ones.

We thought it would last forever.

We'll never be here forever now.

http://i.4cdn.org/f/goodbye4chan.swf

仕方がない

Hey guys, I could make a /jp/ on my imageboard for you. Would you like that?

>>12935926
>though
Okay, 3 years ago was January '12 and I doubt that you think things went from "started going wrong" to "bad" in three weeks.

>>12935951
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>12935939
https://www.4chan.org/flash?file=mootykins.swf&title=mootykins

He's been dead for a long time.

>>12935844
>>12935887
Go see warosu or any board claiming to be the tru/jp/.

Someone needs to form an expedition party to locate Shii and inform him about this development

I rarely frequent jp for a few years, but isn't moot going away a good thing for you? He fucked this board at every opportunity he got.

>>12935962
Someone actually uploaded that as well, for some stupid reason.

>>12935964
I'm browsing warosu for example right now, and threads that janjan delete still get discussions.

This means janjan basically kills opportunities to discuss things.

>>12935926
Roughly. I started leaving in '10 and I'm still leaving.

>>12935968
People just like to complain all day every day. With moot they always knew how to blame but now they have no visible target for now.

>>12935968
Moot left but it's not like the moderation team fucking fucked off.

It's not going to change much or it will get worse.

The things that could make 4chan is less moderation but I don't see that shit happening anytime soon.

>>12935988
You better leave then.

>>12935983
Yeah I love teenbro chat time, stream hangouts, namefag/camwhore worship and legitimate pedophilia

>>12935989
There is always the jan, and he's more of an immediate target than moot, who has stopped giving a fuck back in 13.

>>12935998
What's wrong with legit pedo? It's just an attraction, that's not illegal.

Anything else is just stupid social shit, and some of that shit are prevalent in /jp/ too, especially the Steam shitters.

>>12935989
most critisism on jp is aimed at jenny anyway

>>12935999
Oh yeah we have jannie on /jp/ but other boards don't.

>>12935983
No, it just means there are people who genuinely like wallowing in shit.

>>12936009
>Nothing non-worksafe
The decline started here.

>>12936009
>those trial boards
Jesus christ how cancerous.

>>12936014
I disagree, I do not think janny is the end all quality checker and every threads/posts that he deletes is "shit".

Captchas was the true point of decline

>>12936008
Legit pedos poison the well for lolicons like me, just look at what happened to the cripple's chan

>>12935329


/pol/ is always right.

>>12936022
Shit even in 08, moot noticed that 4chan has become too big for him to handle.

moot doesn't even say fag anymore.

4chan was literally never good.

>>12936030
Old /jp/ used to have junior idols threads, and I would take that shit over any modern idol threads.

>>12936029
At least we don't have to deal with retards running 4chan.js shit anymore. I wish we could go back to the old post timers and visible sage though.

>>12936008
It's off topic.

You could just as well ask what's wrong with listening to Justin Bieber or playing CoD. Nothing. Just do it elsewhere.

How likely is it that /jp/ will be deleted?
Will Moot still retain any influence over the actions of the new administrative team?
Will we get a new, better Janitor?
I feel as though many moderators and higher ups were in favor of deleting /jp/.

>>12936052
No, sir I disagree.

Look at the archive, junior idol threads were a thing.

Unless you want to cut the board of 3DPD contents, which I actually agree with.

>>12935776

That kind of site could have only survived circa 2000-2006

>>12936067
This isn't /a/, "sir".

>>12936026
Neither do I, but somehow all the "alternatives" to /jp/ end up having no quality whatsoever, so I can at least appreciate that he's scaring off the people he should be scaring off.

>>12936066
I had completely forgotten about the times when spam would make it necessary for meido to wipe three or four pages of shitpost threads in one go, and we'd only have up to page 6 of active threads.

I guess Chris' mom is in charge now

>>12936074
If that is so, legit pedos are allowed since it's also otaku culture.

>>12936074

>>12936075
What exact sort of quality are you talking about here?

Because I'm not seeing janjan keeping any sort of quality.

>>12936052
Considering there were idol threads for years that never got deleted, not really, no.
It was very this board related.

This board is what changed. Massively.
I know this shit and I was never even really a 100% active browser of the board.

>>12936067
Technically 3D people is on-topic both here and on /a/.
Movies rooted in anime are totally on-topic at /a/, despite what the new userbase of /a/ thinks.
It is literally a rule.

>>12936071
And yes, this. The internet is different.
Trying to throw that shit on the public internet is going to lead to prison.

Shit, there used to be sites that openly sold child porn, there used to be PHYSICAL STORES that sold child porn.
Try that now and buildings will be set on fire and people killed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFwvYgU20XU

>>12936053
What makes you say that? If anything, I'm sure boards like /gd/, /an/, /out/, and /diy/ would be deleted first. Does anyone even use those?

>>12936077
>ten active threads of "which 2hu would you x with?"
I don't see why people miss that.

>>12936077
Those were the days..

Sorry for the wait guys, I'm just compiling the installer.

>>12936093
I'm still annoyed /gd/ got created instead of /dev/.
It would have covered /gd/, /3/, /agdg/ in /vg/ and many other community projects from various boards.
It would have been the virtual equivalent of /diy/.

I hope the gloryhole threads are coming back.

Can one of you /ota/bun/cripchan/warosu/ spergs sincerely explain to me the appeal of those unfunny whitenoise shitpost boards? there is literally not a single legitimately funny, creative of self-aware person to be found there. all you endup doing is chit chatting about benign shit at a snail's pace because none of you seemingly have any interests, passions or knowledgeability

Well. Moot thinks its time to leave, it's probably time I should go to.

It was fun /jp/. But...I can't come back anymore. I've been here almost as long as moot and now have to take a step back. There's things to do, people to meet, places to go, accomplishments and great things that have yet to be done.

I'll always remember you. In here *points to heart*. Goodbye my otaku friends.

>>12936111
I miss those too.

>>12936113
People having fun in uncontrolled environment I guess.

>>12936115
See you in gensokyou, man.

>>12936115
See you tomorrow.

>>12936115
And he was run over the next day.

Don't go outside kids.

I've been posting since 2005

I don't know if I even care anymore

>>12936102
Huh, you know that's a pretty damn good idea. At least that board would have traffic rather than just sit there and decay away.

>>12936087
The quality of not being warosu.

>>12936088
>idol threads

You might as well say furries are /jp/ related because we have kigurumi threads and it'll make about as much sense.

Do I still go to Gensokyo if I die of natural causes? Do touhous come and grab me and take me to Gensokyo like valkyries did?

>>12936093
>/gd/, /an/, /out/, and /diy/
I don't know about /an/ and /out/, but /gd/ and /diy/ do see some use. Of those two I use /gd/ more, but both are pretty slow. For some reason /gd/ attracts alot of South Americans.

>>12936102
What was /dev/ meant to be, a /prog/ replacement?

>>12936088
>The internet is different.
Web 2.0 is an awful thing, I think.

>Technically 3D people is on-topic both here and on /a/.
With threads like the JAV and Babymetal threads, I think it's definitely on topic, though like you say junior idol threads will still get you slapped with a ban.

>>12936113
Why do you need it explained to you?
It's quite simple. If you don't the appeal, then fuck off.

>>12936132
I've just been waiting for something good to happen to this place, even just one good thing. It's fun watching sites slowly die off but it's even better watching them get better.

What is it that people miss from before 2012? Is it just nostalgia? The way of communication was different, but the board was so infested with spam and shitposting that it rendered having discussions nearly impossible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUPRQDewJpA

>>12936133
moot never agreed, sadly.
Worst part is he said he wanted to create boards with the largest coverage, the biggest scope... then he made /gd/.

>>12936137
Hell we may as well post aliens here since they are a thing that exists, right?
That is a flawed relationship.
Not all kigs are furry.

>>12936142
/dev/ was mainly supposed to be a board to cover the growing numbers of creative communities that have grown over the years in various boards from making games to animation and 3DCG to hentai or even simple programs.
/gd/ covered such a small topic. (good topic, but still small)

But the best part about it would have been the fact that so many different boards were together. So many boards that would normally have not interacted.
These people would have worked with each other over time to make even better things.

Such a lost opportunity.

>>12936142
>for some reason /gd/ attracts alot of South Americans.
My high school always had a lot of South American exchange students, and almost all of them wanted to go into graphic design for some reason.

I just want to leave.

>>12936165
>These people would have worked with each other over time to make even better things.
I see what you mean, and agree. It probably will have piqued the interest of old /prog/ users and actual programmers from /g/ and we could've seen good OC. A shame, really.

>>12935967
Isn't he running the overchan?
allchans.org

>>12936142
>>12936169
That's pretty strange. Maybe there are a lot of graphic design jobs down there?

feelio when I don't give a shit.

Take it easy, /jp/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84fOsLdqDAM

>>12936184
SUZAKU

>>12936165
Well you could give it another shot now that moot's gone. The new mods might just agree with you. It sounds a lot better than having all these separate boards.

>>12936184
Damn, I haven't seen this one in a while.

>>12936177
A glance at that site should provide you the answer dude

no but seriously he ran it up to a point and then handed it over to the meme masters currently in charge

>>12936101
Hahaha, nice old meme, fellow oldhomosexual! *high-fives*

Well, this development could be very good, very bad, or nothing will change at all

But then again moot always came running back to us so whatever

>>12935866

>>12936160
I don't think it's nostalgia. I remember when I first realized that I hadn't made any posts for a whole month (at some point in late 2012). I suddenly realized "wow, /jp/ is actually a shit," and never considered the possibility prior to that. And it's not like I outgrew it, as I still visit many of the same sites I visited in 2008, and have largely the same interests.

I think the internet userbase as a whole outgrew the old /jp/ culture. I miss the ironic shitposting from before everyone and their dog's mom started browsing reddit.

>>12936051
retards being retarded was fun though

the spam didn't bother me anyway

Dan works fast, wow.

>>12936259
wow moots got some really long legs

>>12936259
I hope they both kill themselves.

>>12936259
This sums up how shit 4chan is these days.

>>12935475
rip mootles <3~

I liked this board, five years ago. Then moot let a bunch of subhuman retards who make your average /b/tard look good stomp /jp/ into the ground.

And, of course, instead of getting some more staff to ban the chucklefucks shitting on everything, they decided to simply enforce draconian enforcement across the road, which is roughly akin to searching a seventy-year old Japanese obaa-chan for explosives due to the increased chance of Islamic terrorism (it's fucking nonsense and the only reason you would do it is because you don't want to seem racist to the people you really ARE trying to search.) No, nobody wants or cares about your "professionalism". They want you to throw out the shitters,

Four years later when all the old users are gone to the four winds, except some exceptionally irreverent shitters and exceptionally clingy autistic fucks, I barely care anymore. It's not the same as it was. Bit fucking whoop; it'll never be. Thank god at least they're allowing those of us (who aren't confirmed perma-gnfos-shitters) to actually talk about it for once in the year.

>>12936259
moot probably isn't sad at all.
He probably just sold the domain for some good prize and set his whole life so he could be a NEET and live a nice life if he wanted to.

I wonder if /jp/ janny is the same one that only cleans vitagen and ignores the rest of /vg/.

>>12936259
Don't flatter yourself, Dan.

>>12936288
I sure miss the old times.
Shitposting everywhere, unironic weeaboo threads and constant tripfag circlejerking.

Good old times.

>>12935329
Pity. Despite all of his faults, I really like moot. Hopefully he'll come back one day

>>12936307
>Shitposting everywhere, unironic weeaboo threads
So just like today! Except back then people at least made a show of making it /jp/-related.

>and constant tripfag circlejerking.
At least they were capable of having the occasional on-topic discussion from time to tmie, unlike the rabid shitposters who replaced them. The people in the flagship general threads all know each other anyway.

>>12936288
>subhuman retards
>chucklefucks shitting on everything
>shitters
>irreverent shitters
>exceptionally clingy autistic fucks

>I barely care anymore

I've been here for years but
I can't really remember much of it

>>12936319
you got me

>>12936067
And here comes yet another anon who looked something up in the archive, scrolled half a page, and has come to proclaim how the good old days were, without actually being there.
>IB and ISM linking and posting the real hardcore deal
>200 posts telling them to fuck off
That is what really happened, and fuck anyone who wants that "a thing" back.

>>12936290
His Drawspace venture cost him 3.6 million dollars

He's not completely broke, but he's looking for employment right now.

>>12936331
oh man fucking IB

with his "everyone in the world would have sex with a 12-year old if they could, i know it's true because i would!"

>>12936115

>Asterisk actions

I was about to wish you well but now I hope a pack of niggers rapes you.

I'm impressed he actually withstood all this time, and regardless of how you perceive your board managing a site full of anonymous chuckleheads isn't an easy task.

How hopefully he can dedicate his life to his dream, gay porn.

>>12936365
I think you got ``trolled''.

>>12936365
Trying too hard.

>>12936290
He hasnt sold 4chan, yo would see a massive shitstorm otherwise.
He just is not the active admin anymore.

>>12936322
Me either. When people post images of posts from five and six years ago I remember that I was in those threads, but I can't even remember for how long I've browsed /jp/.

>>12936376

N-nani?!

>>12936370
I hope he will do a porn with aniki and zun, they already meet before so they should have something arranged.

>>12936115
See you here in 3 days.

>>12936322
What is the most memorable thing about /jp/ in the past?

I've only started lurking /jp/ last year for the 2hu image dumps. When I first came here, I thought everyone was retarded but I just realized nearly every post was cute ironic shitposting.

I can imagine it's difficult to remember jackshit. I've been going to /a/ since 08' and the most memorable thing I can recall is KoG gets. It was fun, but I should have used that time to actually watch anime. Well, too late to regret lack of productivity now.

>>12936394
See you here in 3 days *grabs the ban button*

Why can't we just go back to the good old days?

;_;

>>12936399
You should have used that time to learn Japanese, fucking retard.

>>12936102
>/dev/
That would be amazing.

>>12936403
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time

>>12936399
>What is the most memorable thing about /jp/ in the past?

Japanese bird threads. Those threads were so cute they melted my heart every time I saw them

Also, jay pea cuteposting in general

>>12936399
The awalocost was pretty big but ended quickly.

We make the post and the board culture not moot.

>>12936077
i miss meido. both the character and the meido.

>>12936421
Do you really think the current state of /jp/ (almost dead aside from some foreign self-contained generals) is caused by the userbase and not by the staff?

>>12936421
And then moot's lapdog makes board culture bannable offense, deletes your posts and tells higher ranked lapdogs to ban you for ban evasion(even if it's not true). The end.

>>12936436
I still remember the huge thread when meido quit as if it happened yesterday.

>>12936399
When the board would get wiped by a /b/ invasion and/or a spambot at least once a week and people had to repopulate it with topical threads, that was the last period when it felt like this board actually had a unified community, before the whole shitpost squad vs. the moderation development killed it.

>>12936449
Shit was a rollercoaster.

>>12936406
I've started on Japanese yesterday.... I regret not learning any talents or skills and always recklessly chasing immediate gratification all the time. Then again; I was young and stubborn--far too underage to heed the warnings and go live my life. Starting to lurk /a/ at the age of 12 surprisingly doesn't make you into a complete failure of a human being. I mean, this time could have been far better spent. But humans forget the vast majority of what they experience anyway--all that matters is that it is what you wanted at the time. I do have a little regret spending so much time lurking threads on 4chan, playing online games, watching anime, saving tens of thousands of images by hand, reading up on pointless topics, ect. Whatever, it was fun.
>>12936411
Isn't cuteposting still happening? Usually in Touhou image dumps, they'll be a few cuteposters here and there.
>>12936419
awalocost?

sorry for shitposting in shitposting thread, I usually don't post with text in the jay

>>12936115
see you tomorrow

>>12936437
It's caused by the failure of staff to kick out the abject retards three years ago.

>>12936440
Sorry you can't post milk, cats, and josh to your hearts. My heart weeps.

>>12936450
I wish we would get raided by entire site just like /pol/. It would so refreshing.

>>12936399
You used to be able to post about more topics. Much more life-related things. There was a lot of spam. Many meta threads. Way more trips/names and attention toward them. Jan was kind and would delete NSFW without requesting a ban.

Now is when I regret not learning moon
I had years to do it and I never did

>>12936437
yes

if you can't comprehend how the descent of easymodo into a 100% shitpost coordination spot and the endlessly self-perpetuating delusions of the diehard career shitposters harmed the board, I can't help you

>>12936478
Are you going to die in the immediate future?

Is Futaba worth learning Japanese? I can't help but think it's the only true last bastion left (that gets more than 15 posts per day).

>>12936499
No. Futaba's glacial.

>>12936455
Wait a second, it's been around four/five years already? Where did the time go.

>>12936499
Futaba is declining.
2ch is not declining.

>>12936480
Aside from his responsibility in letting the archive go to utter shit, I can't help but feel that he's to blame for /jp/ proper going to shit, too. It basically became an outpost from which you could rewrite jp/ history just by being a persistent retard.
