Good job enforcing that one, faggot.

It wasn't good, but it was better.

>>13281450
its like glue but hot

>>13281450
Moot being scared of cummy figs is like at least 90% of the reason this board is "SFW". It's funny how quickly people stopped caring about it. It's probably more notorious as one of /jp/'s former MMORPG groups nowadays.

>>13281422
In the end, he never made good on his promise to delete /jp/.

Also it was shitposting and autism, back when shitposting was spamming and making dumb "wch 2hu fk" threads and not just being actually retarded.

It's just proof that moot has never actually used futaba. Yesterday there was a big boob touhou thread with 473 replies and about 30 images. only 2 or 3 were nsfw. moot is the original boogeyman inventor.

>>13281616
/jp/ is and will always be a board purely for things /a/ and /v/ whined about all the time. Waps who want a wap board should just give up. /jp/ is closer to Anime/Random than Japanese Culture.

>>13281438
But that means that /jp/ turned out well!

>>13281422
you mean 2011-12?

[X] This board is for general Japanese things
[ ] No hot-glue
[X] Nothing non-worksafe
[X] Don't allow any one thing to dominate this board
[ ] Condense your threads (ironically, this used to not be the case in /jp/'s earlier days)
[X] it doesn't turn out well
[X] becomes a hassle to moderate
[X] I want /a/ to become "ANIME & MANGA" again
[ ] No more ronery~ threads

/jp/ has failed in pretty much every way, becoming a den of shitposters with one subject (Touhou) almost entirely dominating the board nowadays, and not doing anything to keep /jp/ subjects off other boards. It's also been stated plenty of times that /jp/ is the most tiresome board to moderate. Why hasn't /jp/ been deleted yet?

>>13281422

there was actual discussion, it was pretty cool to have an off-topic board for other things and stuff. Shitposting didn't become a meme until like 2010 I think.

The board took a big quality hit after that with raildex spamming, most known people left.

I think the general threads made the board somewhat worth visiting again, most long time users are pretty bored with touhou anyway.

>>13282647
I love /jp/.

>>13282647

I am pretty sure /sp/ is the worst board to moderate from what I've seen, there is no discussion whatsoever but flag bashing and every thread that is deleted spawns like 5 'he does it for free' meme threads.

>>13281422
Very different. Straight after launch was just shitposting, but it eventually settled as a sort of Japan/Random board with significant presence of Touhou and visual novels, and some self-contained recurring threads. It was far less condensed and organized than it is now. Then, later on, it became Shitposting/General for a while. Afterwards, it became Touhou/General with some self-contained recurring threads (visual novels joined the 'recurring threads' group) and became much more like it is now. Then recently the number of subjects discussed on /jp/ increased, including Monster Girl stuff and multiple idol threads (seriously, what the hell is up with all the 3D on /jp/ nowadays? I've even seen it posted outside of idol threads).

>>13282660
Whenever something is deleted from /jp/, people bitch.
Whenever something isn't deleted from /jp/, people bitch.
This bitching often goes very far, including e-mails sent to the moderation team and stuff like that. /jp/ is also by far the board that reports the most posts.

And those mod/janitor-mocking meme threads? They're posted on /jp/ all the time, without even requiring any provocation. The moderation staff is just so used to them that you barely see them because they rarely remain up for long enough. You should check the archives, when you see all threads including deleted ones you'll notice how many threads like that we get.

>>13282683
This dies before 2012, I wonder what happened.

>>13282655
>Shitposting didn't become a meme until like 2010 I think.
There were a lot of threads around that would be labeled shitposting today, but back then funposting was a collective effort and more often than not it was related to something on-topic in some way.

At some point "funposting culture" became based entirely around bashing staff and blogging about stupid shit instead of TYPE-MOON and washing machines and we lost it.

>>13282726
The post you replied to was satire. Just a heads up.

>>13282740
>The post you replied to was satire.
There are a few things off with it but it's really not an uncommon view of how things are.

>>13282740
Is it? Because having been here since 2008 I pretty much agree with it (though it isn't the work of a single spammer/group of spammers as much as the board culture change that went with it). Shitposting DID become a meme. At some point, the term started being used a lot for a specific style of posting, and some people felt it was the cool thing to do.

>>13282726
The difference was the threads back in those days originated and prospered from genuine desire to discuss stuff, even if the discussion was completely inane. What is generally called 'shitposting' is posting obnoxious and/or contrarian stuff simply for the sake of spoiling people's fun and/or fitting in with the shitposting crowd. (It's basically trolling except for the part where proper trolling must be amusing.) /jp/ back then simply didn't give a shit about staying on-topic.

>>13282740

I was serious though, its just how I experienced it and why I stopped frequenting the board around 2011 or so

While there were generals for idols we didn't have daily threads for them.

Fuck generals.

Also, Sion ruined the board with his constant >ZUN!bar autism posts. Yes, I'm salty as fuck.

>>13282763
>though it isn't the work of a single spammer/group of spammers as much as the board culture change that went with it
But it was spammers who ended up changing the board culture in the first place, by crushing everything they didn't like with aggressive shitposting.

If the hyper-aggressive retards who latched onto that behavior were still around we couldn't even be having this conversation now.

>>13282660
/sp/ is just generals now. the mods won

>>13282763
>though it isn't the work of a single spammer/group of spammers as much as the board culture change that went with it
Back in 2011 all we had were constant Sion and irc crew spam until finally ZUN!bar was banned pretty much for being the object of complaint (while there were plenty of other problems you could have used to argue that he was a bad user).

While sure, we had the AorF bot spam and raids against us in 2008-2010 (in particular the Katawa Shoujo raid by /a/ sponsored by moot and the Cornelia bot raid by /v/ when it was revealed the bot that caused captcha knew about VNs meaning must be us) they didn't cause the sheer amount of hostility within the community until then.

The Sion shit posts covered 3 or 4/10 topics on the front page hourly and people would be baited into all of them so they wouldn't fucking disappear.

Oh, the original /jp/ meido giving up the position after Cornelia bot and Anonymous-san (the only mod that cared about us) getting fired didn't help.

I miss Hong meiling

I just miss the fun times back when people used the MMD/TDCG thread. The only place you can talk about that shit is /e/, and discussion on the porn boards makes discussion on /v/ look good.

>>13282908
Thinking about the sheer autism ZUN!bar's sword girl threads caused back then makes me laugh, considering that we involuntarily absorbed /mgg/ a while ago. I think in the end they got him either on reposting deleted material or evasion.

>The Sion shit posts covered 3 or 4/10 topics on the front page hourly and people would be baited into all of them so they wouldn't fucking disappear.
At least they tended to leave other people's threads alone, as opposed to trying to shit up every thread on the board or hijacking other threads on the occasions that their spam got canned. It takes a special level of spite to spend three hours spamming a Comiket thread with retarded shit.

>>13282965
>considering that we involuntarily absorbed /mgg/ a while ago
and has that affected the rest of the board in any way?

/jp/ is a fucking tragedy

>>13282973
Well, no.

>>13281422
it was the same quality-wise (shit) but fumo shit and basically anything japan-related that wasn't touhou or VNs was redirected to /lang/ and /int/, the old meido left a long time ago.

>>13283022
Almost certainly not.

>>13283022
BOOF is shitposting on /k/.

/jp/ functions better as a 2d/random board. I think the most apt description I've read of 'good /jp/' was something like 'old /b/'.

This is a random question but does the hugeass Maria (Star Ocean 3) fag still come here?

I ask this every once in awhile and he appears out of nowhere.

/jp/ was at it's prime from 2010 through 2013

everything before that and after that has been complete shit

I remember the fotm MMO threads. Mostly the one when we picked up World of Tanks. That didn't last long, but it was hella fun, being in a group of autists banging noobs on the first round then getting crushed by a bunch of hue Brazilians on all King Tigers on the second round

>>13283369
/jp/ played WoT for longer than just one month, I believe.

>>13283375
Yeah, but after the beta, when everything got wiped, I couldn't find them anymore, so I just gave up and played all alone. I unlocked the E-50M about last year and finally decided to quit.

Ahh, nostalgia... I grew up in /jp/. Was even a time I gave up because all i could see were shitposts to o end, but I came back after some time.

I mostly have good memories of TM dominance back then because I usually didn't care to read threads I didn't care for. Fucking mugen, though. The moment he slipped into a thread with his inevitable faceposting, the thread was derailed.

>>13283369
I really liked that one town building game with the Russians and Poles who hated each others guts.

/a/ and /v/ both had villagers. /tg/ got wiped out by Russians and we lived for awhile.

>>13283414
I really wonder what happened to the TM threads. Dd they all just move to /a/ with the Fate/zero anime?

>>13283494
Perhaps the posters were frightened of the possibility of accidentally attracting the new TM fans.

>>13282683
2009-2012 here, stopped posting when mods won and banned even for posting in shit threads.

I come back and it seems mods lost again, but the damage is done.

>>13283489
We had a town called Hinamizawa iirc.

>>13283327
Everything wrong with /jp/ in a nutshell

>>13283489
Haven and Hearth? I remember the first village /jp/ made. It was right next to a river and the town looked like a refugee camp; houses strewn across wherever, a general storage area with crates filled with junk, and a pile of corpses near the top end of the village. We were chased out and settled next to another river system, but everyone was murdered when the brickwall was finally completed. I guess it was expected when the village was named Aokigahara.

>>13281616
/jp/ was never supposed to be about /int/ shit, you dumb cock handle.

>>13283567
I remember the first and second time /jp/ played, I survived the massacre because I was not with the group but lived inside a cave far away.

I joined a dude that apparently also browsed /jp/ but was more of a casual-crossie.

I always tried to talk stuff about /jp/ but he always seemed annoyed about it.

>>13283567
Russians must commit genocide in any game they're in.

>>13283583
Speaking of shitty trips

>>13283623
Hmm... I recall someone like that before... Were you trying to talk about Touhou and stuff?

It was shitty like it is now, but with less "Generals".

>>13283763
>Touhou and stuff
I talked about the daily Saten gloryhole threads, and the guy was 'saten who'

I don't think it's you, since you're on /jp/

>>13283117
>I really doubt this is accurate

No, it's pretty accurate. All old /b/ did was talk about Type-moon and Azumanga all day while posting stupid image macros about lens flare and thrust vectoring and V-TEC.
It went to shit after people started raiding other sites and then descended into being just a porn dump board.

Old /jp/ just talked about Type-Moon and Touhou all day.
...Then it went to shit after people started raiding here because of autism over MMOS, Moot's dumb jokes, and stupid anti-mod shit. Now it's devolving into a "SFW" 3D idol/doll/monster girl porn dump board.

The best thing I can say about /jp/ is that there never formed some sort of culture of bothering people about other things like /a/v/b/ formed. There was no offline protests against stuff, no calling in pranks to TV shows and game stores, no sending pictures of dicks to artists they like, no masks, no GG shit, Hotglue's actions in MMOs and resulting autism was just the results of NEETs having nothing to do but grind 24 hours a day. It's just a self contained board that shit pours into instead of out of. (with /vg/ being an exception, but /jp/ should have been merged with /vg/ upon its creation anyway).

>>13283369
Honestly, given the recent moderation, you can just make the MMO threads again. People would probably rather play shitty mobile games because apparently everyone on /jp/ has phones nowadays.

>>13281422
>>13282710
I kind of miss /jp/'s culture of polite sages and the resulting asspain from people asking why their thread is being sagebombed.

Also /sp/ is the worst board whose dumb memes are spilled over other boards and who try to force dumb shit like the 4cc all over 4chan instead of keeping their dumb shit in their dumb shitposter board.

Actually, the only threads I-ve ever replied to are shithreads like this one.

WHO TRUNEET HERE

I was there during the glory days of 2008-2012. We could freely post NSFW images. If you have a topic you want to discuss, you were encouraged to make a thread and make a presence.

Whenever Comiket or Reitaisai rolls around, lots of people posted links to content. We'd get as many links to games as we did soundtracks. Guys like Hong and Remilia regularly contributed to the community by posting download links to doujin scans and games.

Shitposting and meme-spouting was common, but back then it was generally understood that it was just mindless fun, and nobody took it seriously.

Nowadays, /jp/ has been taken over by fags that believe they're somehow entitled to an environment where serious discussion takes place. NSFW pics have been banned.

The general threads are a cancer: The front page is filled with them. A few fanboy faggots make a Kancolle/VNs/etc thread, and every post relating to their respective topic goes there. That means even if there's very little to talk about pertaining to a "general" thread's subject, even infrequent posts will allow them to remain bumped up in the front page because every relevant post gets put on their respective general thread.

Comiket/Retaisai threads have turned to shit. Download links for events are at an all-time low--They're mostly soundtracks, and too few games.

Shitposting is taken too seriously, and guys can't blow off a bit of steam here. While the frequency of shitposting has been reduced, when there's significant shitposting, they get put where they're needed the least: The Comiket/Reitaisai download threads. They get derailed into bitchfights between posters about whether people should be "thanking" each other--It seems /jp/ tries to make up for the lack of shitposting nowadays by re-allocating all the shitposts in the Comiket/Reitaisai threads, discouraging posters from uploading new content. The two aforementioned tripcoders have been driven out due to the fact that they were tripfags.

Way to go, dipshits.

>>13281422

There were no glory days. Just a bit where it seemed like /jp/ was doing its job, but everyone knew it wouldn't last.

Hong and RemiJAM both fucked off because of personal issues, long before the tripfag exodus. Neither departure had much to do with "tripfag hate" and Hong has been deprecated by exhentai anyway.

>Comiket/Retaisai threads have turned to shit. Download links for events are at an all-time low--They're mostly soundtracks, and too few games.
Our major Japanese uploaders died on us. We still get everything that shows up on PD, but people tend to buy/rip music more often than they do fangames.

>A few fanboy faggots make a Kancolle/VNs/etc thread, and every post relating to their respective topic goes there.
You're free to make a thread about an individual VN (or a Kancolle character) if you think anybody cares enough to post in it with you.

just le me fucking die already

>>13284106
I feel as though general threads are the largest cancer. I don't actively pay attention to them but it seems like there are 4 or more monster girl threads a day; Isn't that a topic that would be better suited for /e/?

I also feel the same way about the touhou high score general and the kancolle general. Both are threads befitting /vg/. If someone wants to make a thread about a 2hu or a boat, that's cool, but not as a general where the same few questions get asked every time. JAV threads and onahole threads can go in /hc/. Even the rhythm game thread should probably be in /vg/, even though it's the only general I actually use.

How is fapping to japanese 3d porn otaku culture? How is asking the same game mechanic questions over and over otaku culture?

I'm not le oldfag xD, as I started browsing in 2012 after I got over my fear of whatever would be on this website, but there has been a definite drop off in quality since then. I know I'll sound like an /a/ user when I say that I missed niggy shitposting and the 'Don't thank the uploader' spam, but I do. To clarify, I have never used /a/.

>>13284129

>Hong and RemiJAM both fucked off because of personal issues, long before the tripfag exodus. Neither departure had much to do with "tripfag hate" and Hong has been deprecated by exhentai anyway.

It didn't fucking help that they were hounded due to their tripfaggotry, nor was the fact that we had dipshits arguing over thanking each other.

>Our major Japanese uploaders died on us. We still get everything that shows up on PD, but people tend to buy/rip music more often than they do fangames.

I've been curious about this. What exactly has happened that has caused Japanese uploaders to be on the decline?

I'd like to understand the root cause of the problem, because I can't stand this new wave of Chinese uploaders--I don't have a problem with the idea of Chinese picking up where the Japanese are failing us, but some of the fucking Chinks have been trying to assert exclusive rights to offer pirated content by getting buttmad whenever their downloads get posted on their non-Baidushit sites.

>You're free to make a thread about an individual VN (or a Kancolle character) if you think anybody cares enough to post in it with you.

I do make my own threads--It's just a lot of the fags here don't, and someone who never posts on general threads, all I see nowadays are a bunch of near-dead threads effectively meta-pinned to the front page of the board because dipshits keep posting things on general threads when they were better off making their own dedicated threads.

>>13284164

They do one around every two days, which is about how long it takes their previous thread to 404.

>How is fapping to japanese 3d porn otaku culture?
/jp/ actually kept JAV threads out for a while before everyone stopped caring, trying to argue that any other board is a better fit for Japanese masturbators is a losing proposition.

>I know I'll sound like an /a/ user when I say that I missed niggy shitposting and the 'Don't thank the uploader' spam, but I do
That's homegrown, /jp/-brand shitposting. /a/ users would know better.

>>13284181
>It didn't fucking help that they were hounded due to their tripfaggotry, nor was the fact that we had dipshits arguing over thanking each other.
People have been giving trips shit since 2008. It was their personal issues that did them in.

I did like RemiJAM but a lot of what he did was repackage PD releases, and these days his successors have that under wraps. Time marches on.

>What exactly has happened that has caused Japanese uploaders to be on the decline?
I have no idea. I've heard that the vast majority of uploads were done by one or two individuals who just moved on with their lives but I have no reliable source - I think people observed that the usual hashcode was gone.

>because dipshits keep posting things on general threads when they were better off making their own dedicated threads.
Ever seen someone make a thread for an individual Kancolle character? It's so laughably sad you could cry. As for VNs - most of the people who care enough to discuss translated VNs at length do it in /a/ or /vg/, and not enough people play untranslated games to support individual threads in /jp/. Even a well-known series like Bishoujo Mangekyou had to staple all four games together just to get a half-alive thread.

>>13284198
I was there. In fact, I was convicted in my state.

>>13284213

>People have been giving trips shit since 2008. It was their personal issues that did them in.

Did Hong or Remi even talk about whether it was personal issues? All I noticed was that they just stopped posting one day. Same goes for Boof.

>Ever seen someone make a thread for an individual Kancolle character? It's so laughably sad you could cry.

You do realize that an inability to make a thread that people would be interested in is no excuse to shit up the front page with a bunch of artifically generated general threads that don't get much attention, right? It's like these guys generate ad revenue from forcing themselves to make these threads or something.

>>13284198
No. I'm quite young, and I was sort of taught to be self censoring, so I didn't seek out anything of the sort. I remember first reading about Rapelay in 2011 I think it was.

>>13284213
>They do one around every two days, which is about how long it takes their previous thread to 404.
That's not so bad I guess, but compared to many of the other generals, and /jp/ itself, that's very, very fast. I also notice that I often see multiple new threads popping up once an old one dies, or maybe that's kancolle.

>trying to argue that any other board is a better fit for Japanese masturbators is a losing proposition.
I imagine that the porn boards were resistant to the posting of JAV there at the time?

>That's homegrown, /jp/-brand shitposting
I don't think I'd trade it for anything.

I think it's unfortunate that upload threads died off. I enjoyed scrolling through and just picking albums based on the cover and feeling happy when I got something nice.

>>13284129
>You're free to make a thread about an individual VN (or a Kancolle character) if you think anybody cares enough to post in it with you.
A big problem is a lot of people don't venture outside the generals or are willing to post in a new thread, generals essentially become "micro-boards" due to them being constantly chained and alive where they develop their own culture, "Memes" and userbase. In the same way people get defensive over "Board culture" and "Crossies" people in generals react the same.

The actual butthurt Touhou shitposters don't help KanColle characters threads from taking off either.

>>13284181

Doesn't help the Chinese/Koreans half the time never post raws and tell you to fuck off when you ask.

>>13284237
Hong made an overblown goodbye post that people made fun of. He did revisit to upload stuff sometimes, but people mostly stopped paying attention to him after that.

I remember Remi talking about life interfering, but I can't find any evidence of it so it might have been my imagination.

>It's like these guys generate ad revenue from forcing themselves to make these threads or something.
You read too much into it. People post in the threads because they're interested in the topic.

>>13284243
>or maybe that's kancolle.
The kankers are mad that somebody is trying to put the same character into every single OP and are trying to go out of their way not to use his thread. Internet drama of the stupidest variety.

That much is true.

>The actual butthurt Touhou shitposters don't help KanColle characters threads from taking off either.
They tried a few times, back when Kancolle was just taking off. Between relentless shitposting and incompetent moderation we ended up with what we have today.

>>13284237
>Did Hong or Remi even talk about whether it was personal issues? All I noticed was that they just stopped posting one day. Same goes for Boof.
Boof still posts on /k/ I believe, no idea about Remi but I do know that Hong does articles for Lewdgamer.com as he uses his old Mediafire folder name and a Meiling icon.

I totally agree with this. I have always hated the concept of having general threads here because I knew this is what it would lead to.

All this 3dpd stuff should go to the porn boards or something, idols included. Then there are all the threads dedicated to posting the lewdest 2hu/monstergirl/anime girl/whatever pictures they can get away with, those should fuck off to /e/

>>13284271
>I have always hated the concept of having general threads here because I knew this is what it would lead to.
You should blame the rest of /jp/ for being so colossally shitty that everybody from /jp/ gave up on board culture and everybody not from /jp/ stayed in their walled gardens.

Face it, we have fuck-all to talk about, except maybe about how everything is shit like we are now.

>>13282647
>with one subject (Touhou) almost entirely dominating the board nowadays
>nowadays

>>13282726
There was no such thing as "funposting" but people were able to have fun while posting. Although /jp/ was always one of the more uptight boards it wasn't until recent years that No Fun Allowed reached critical levels (probably in response to shitposting, funposting, cuteposting, and various other types of shitty content).

>>13284280
>You should blame the rest of /jp/ for being so colossally shitty that everybody from /jp/ gave up on board culture
Rather than people giving up it's more because of a lot of users leaving especially after Tokiko spamming the whole board and everyday the mods just doing a purge leaving the board with 2 pages however after that stopped due to the lack of remaining users who cared and the leftover overly strict moderation didn't allow the board to self moderate by shitposting threads to death like it did before.

>>13284280
if you don't have anything to talk about then you probably aren't actually participating in /jp/-related hobbies like eroge

besides, /jp/ always used to be full of random shit like dogs jumping through hoops, it's not like it was some great new thing to talk about, it's just people having fun in an environment where they could post stuff and the user moderation was a big factor of what let that work

>>13284300
don't forget all the old anons that went to gensokyo

>>13284291
Back in the day Fate and other translated VNs were able to give Touhou a run for their money. Right now you can count the threads that aren't Touhou and aren't generals (and aren't shitty blog threads) on one hand.

>>13284300
>didn't allow the board to self moderate by shitposting threads to death like it did before.
Yeah, the real problem was that there wasn't enough shitposting. We self-moderated translated VNs, the Fate series, and non-ADV eroge off the board entirely, but we could have done so much more.

>>13284307
>if you don't have anything to talk about then you probably aren't actually participating in /jp/-related hobbies like eroge.
fuck-all to talk about outside general threads*

>>13284308
>Yeah, the real problem was that there wasn't enough shitposting. We self-moderated translated VNs, the Fate series, and non-ADV eroge off the board entirely, but we could have done so much more.

There's a big difference between that kind of shitposting and the kind I'm talking about but I guess you're right in a way, the reason Fate/Translated VN discussion went away was because people didn't want to attract the kind of people that were coming to those threads. Having a "closed community" can only last so long before there's nobody to replace the people who naturally leave.

oh look, another shitty nostalgic metathread

thanks for passing down the knowledge of the elders to us young folks

joot is dead right?

/jp/ is free right? Please don't kill /jp/.

>>13284326
no, it's just that there's only so much the same few hundred people can say about f/sn

same applies to touhou but touhou fans are just autistic enough to enjoy posting the same images forever and have autistic circlejerks

>>13284598
I'd disagree considering that the Fate series itself is still constantly being expanded but I agree with the general message you're trying to say. It's the core problem with generals, when there's not fresh material to warrant a thread but there is one anyway it just leads to blogposting/circlejerking and all that.

The halcyon days, better times

Random old-timer passing through.

I don't know why people talk about the tripfags and shitposting when talking about the good ol' days. For me the best times of /jp/ were the super long NEET threads talking about depression, assburguers and random stuff in a serious manner, I used to participate and read them as much as I could, I even used to wake up early just to read all the threads I missed, for me that was the real /jp/ not the circlejerk of shitposters from an IRC channel. At some point those good threads stopped existing, there was nothing good to read in the mornings anymore.

A few years passed and I became a normalfag, I have a job now, my own apartment and just live a normal life, I don't really miss the old /jp/ but I do have very nice memories of it and it was an important part of my life. I don't browse /jp/ anymore I just accidentally clicked on it while accidentally browsing 4chan.

>>13284721
All the NEET and depression threads were comfy. The last good one was at the end of Janurary.

>>13284721
For me it was the NEET and Otaku rooms. They were something that made me feel at home on /jp/.

Someone posts the image compilation where Moot is Euphe from Code Geass and asking how she did for /jp/.

>>13284765

It was shit.

Does anyone have the screenshot of the guy who burnt EoSD onto CDs and gave them out for halloween?

>>13284841
I think I'll do that this year.

>>13284326
>There's a big difference between that kind of shitposting and the kind I'm talking about
People shitposted everything into the ground and out of /jp/, it was all the same thing in the end - whoever spams hardest wins. If you need a janitor to distinguish between "good shitposting" and "bad shitposting" that's not self-moderation anymore.

>>13284327
Now you can be an oldfag too, for all that's worth, which is nothing.

>>13284622
They still put stuff out at a high rate, just nobody bothers to translate (or cares) about a lot of it.

What changed from when /jp/ loved Type-Moon to losing any and all interest in it?

>>13284874
F/Z secondaries wave.

>>13284759
>Otaku rooms
that turned into otaCOOL shit. fuck em.

>>13284742
The last time NEET threads were halfway decent was 2011. After that they were like something out of /r9k/ on a bad day. They really went to shit.

If you really didn't want to give up your NEET threads they never went away, /ghost/ still has them. They are, of course, fucking awful.

>>13284721
Some people don't want to admit that they liked NEET threads because they're afraid they'll lose that all-important goodposter credibility.

3D/idol threads and MG threads are cancer.

>>13284898
Cancer by definition spreads. /mgg/ isn't going anywhere and it took seven years for the idolfags to jump from 2 to 4 threads.

>>13284857
I just realized, do you think there are actually people on 4chan who unironically lie about how long they've been looking at the site, or a specific board? By "unironically" I mean, these people aren't simply trolling, or posting in some silly way to try and put "oldfags" in a bad light, but they are actually trying to get people to read their posts and think, wow, yeah, that's really nostalgic man, I remember that, even though said posters have never experienced those years in reality.

I can see why people might do this on a non Anonymous site, to gain credibility in the community and whatnot, but here there's absolutely nothing to gain from someone reading a single one of your posts and thinking that you have been here for a long time or that you're a good poster. Do you think there are people who lie about this anyway? Really people who go to ED or Know Your Meme or whatever the current fad wiki is, and study our culture, and try to pretend to be part of our ranks? What could they possibly have to gain?

[continued]

The satisfaction from being an old user of 4chan for me is 100% internal, as in I mean it comes from me myself knowing that I've been here for over a decade, that I made all the posts that I did, and that lots of people respect the things I've said and the content I've created. The fact that my individual posts aren't tagged with anything like "btw I'm an oldfag" or "this was made by whoever" is what, in my own mind, proves to me that my contributions had value. But if I was faking it, there wouldn't be any satisfaction to be gained. So why on earth would someone lie about posts they've made on an Anonymous message board?

I dunno if I explained that well but do you guys get what I mean?

Guys I've been here since 2014, back in the glory days of yesteryear /jp/ was basically just the same as it is now, would you believe it

>>13284916
I always backdate my join date by half a year because it gives me imaginary credibility in worthless online arguments.

>What could they possibly have to gain?
Back in the day you could flash your "oldfag cred" and it would actually count for something, so you could use it to win arguments or just shitpost more effectively.

These days it just means you were too retarded to leave /jp/ when all the sane people left.

>>13284907
no, it's spreading alright. it just never originated from here. mgg and kc from /a/. jav shit from whatever 3dfapboard. japanese music thread from /mu/. pretty sure the japanese music/retro threads are headed by /mu/ rejects. seen some super quirky weebs trying to flex denpa on /mu/ as well.

>>13284921
>So why on earth would someone lie about posts they've made on an Anonymous message board?
to gain cred when they're trying to argue about meaningless shit like board culture and memes.

i can't even remember most of the shit that's happened and i've been on here almost everyday since...2010 i think. i just remember neet threads and "better" shitposting. stuff like 50 cent da bo$$. nigga my gun go off.

>>13284921
I understand what you mean.
I havent been on here anywhere as long as you, but what youre describing seems to sound alot like normie culture, specifically 'one-upmanship', the thing where people lie to each other and they can read that each other are lying, but just try and come up with a nore extravagant tale. The users youre describing sound like theyre doing this, but gain nothing from it apart from a false sense of nostalgia; I feel as though if I were to do that, I would be filled with sadness not having actually been there for the event itself. I like looking at old screenshots and warosu sometimes, but I have no intentions of being the 'I can see my post in there!' guy.

>>13284941
>kc from /a/
Kancolle started in /jp/. It was expelled to /a/ because autistic shitposters crushed every thread other than the single general thread, which was only kept by janitor babysitting and mass reports.

>japanese music thread from /mu/
A thread about obscure shit that gets one post an hour really can't cancer anything.

>>13284943
People still want to express their invidiliaty here, "I'm an oldfag" and "I made this OC" are good examples of this, it is only natural, people want to get recognition.

I don't know if I should cry or laugh when you grow old and realise that no one even remembers your time or contributions here, that makes this place worse than trash, your existence is beond meaningless.

>>13284941

I don't see why you even care so much that people are coming to /jp/ from elsewhere, we all came from elsewhere at some point. At the start the board was made entirely of /a/ rejects.

>>13284952
>Kancolle started in /jp/
never cared for so i never kept track.

>A thread about obscure shit that gets one post an hour really can't cancer anything.
nah. one, not obscure--mostly regurgitated japanese flavored /mu/core. but the real problem is that it problem is that it facilitates crossboarding. it makes it acceptable for them to dump their shit here and take stuff back. that people try to advertise that they listen to something like denpa on /mu/ to seem "cool" or gain weebcred or something is just...i don't want those types here is all.

i don't really even know what i want anymore. complaining about crossies doesn't do shit when everyone's a crossie. even if they left, there's not much /jp/ has going for it. why do i love this place so much even when it's this shitty?

i think i secretly like that /jp/ is so shitty. i just wish it was shittier. so shitty that only the worst people could stand to be regulars here. a place for awful, despicable people. neets and hiki and lolicon types. "otaku."

>>13284976
Sorry, I canned my post because it didn't say everything I wanted to say and it killed the flow of the conversation.

>there's not much /jp/ has going for it.
When you kick out topics and users with broad strokes because they might attract bad people it's no wonder what you're left with is a dead board.

>i just wish it was shittier. so shitty that only the worst people could stand to be regulars here. a place for awful, despicable people. neets and hiki and lolicon types. "otaku."
Yeah, you got what you wanted for a few years, and 90% of the posters who knew anything about anything left. Good job.

A shut-in and an otaku is no more likely to stay in a board that's completely fucking shit than a normal person (except to post in general threads about topics they care about).. All it does is keep in people with an extremely high tolerance for retards.

Farewell, My Vintage Days...

some are still here. i'm still here. not much has changed really. and it's not like other boards are better. /jp/ has good things sometimes.

this is what i love. right here. these impromptu discussions about meaningless things that are somehow meaningful. they pop up in these absurdist shitposting threads. meanwhile general threads are still shit. "good" threads that are shittier than shit threads. how ironic. but it's whatever.

it's not like i don't want crossies. it's more like i want /jp/ to stay /jp/. /jp/ is shit. but it's comfortable and familiar shit. i don't want to see other boards' shit here. i came here and stayed here to avoid other boards after all. i hope you can at least understand that.

>>13285004
it's not really the same.

>>13285000
The last traces of those dreamlike days are already gone.

I can't believe the staff killed those threads so aggressively, even when the threads were explicitly on-topic. It can't be that the staff is made of such fucking retards that they have nothing better to do than ban everything that might be a meme. What miserable shitters.

>>13285022
>some are still here.
You're here because you have an extremely high tolerance for shit, same as everyone else still here.

>it's more like i want /jp/ to stay /jp/
If you're part of that gang of insufferable retards who went out of their way to make /jp/ an unusable shithole from 2011 onwards you didn't help /jp/ stay /jp/, you destroyed everything that it used to be.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I've been here since 2004 and all I can think about is why didn't I leave when /b/ got shitty, when /a/ and /v/ got shitty, or when /jp/ got shitty. Why I didn't fuck off this site at the turn of the decade or just kill myself like all those people posting suicide/gensokyo/balaamb garden threads probably successfully achieved by now. I don't even participate in most threads nowadays and basically hide or ignore everything but the OC threads.

Maybe everyone should just give up and go hide in their little generals. Even with the monster girl menace, it's only a choice between a bunch of retards posting their feels when in one thread and a bunch of retards making "Horse butts and anuses", "which monster fuck", and "cowgirl tits!" 100 times a day. It's the posters in those thread that are the problem anyway, not it being a general or even the concept of monstergirls(or shipgirls or idolgirls). Just the posters and their shitty habits. Just make your neet generals and shitpost generals and flanfly generals and hoopdog generals and post in them and ignore the rest of the shitty board and stop whining about "the good old days".

I wish moot had just deleted /jp/ when he had the chance.

But where would we go without /jp/

>>13285034
>You're here because you have an extremely high tolerance for shit
no. only /jp/ brand shit. can't stand other shit. i already told you.

>If you're part of that gang of insufferable retards who went out of their way to make /jp/ an unusable shithole from 2011 onwards you didn't help /jp/ stay /jp/, you destroyed everything that it used to be.
nah. i wasn't. but i will say i was at least somewhat amused by it. again, a lot of discussions happened as a result of those awful threads. even today. shit threads generate more stuff than "constructive" threads. i can't even remember how it "used to be". afaik, it's always been kind of shitty like this, but it's a lot better than everywhere else without doubt.

>You get everything you want.
i might try em again, but seriously, it's not the same.

>>13285047
>Just make your neet generals and shitpost generals and flanfly generals and hoopdog generals
wow. i miss flanfly.

>>13285025
Look at the logs that got posted. They're very paranoid about ban-evaders, and show active disdain towards /jp/ culture. If they don't like a certain posting style, or if a post rubs them the wrong way, you can be sure that they'll go out of their way to purge it from the board whilst ignoring actual shitposts laden with emoticons, greentext, and general all-around faggotry.

>>13285054
>only /jp/ brand shit. can't stand other shit. i already told you.
This is fucking disgusting. People should not have a license to shit on the board just because their shit "came from /jp/." The shit you love so much drove the vast majority of users out of the board, but apparently that's fine because only worthless retards should post in /jp/. On the other hand, ordinary discussion that came "from elsewhere" needs to be banned even though the whole fucking board originally came from elsewhere.

I was going to say that you're everything that makes this board shit, but apparently you're proud of that.

>i might try em again, but seriously, it's not the same.
For the love of god spare us your continued presence.

>>13285047
>What the fuck is wrong with you?
I guess the main difference is that I'm optimistic and you're pessimistic? Maybe?

Or maybe it has to do with how satisfied we are in our lives outside 4chan. I kind of think that the quality of 4chan at any given time is subjectively dependent on how satisfied you the poster are with you everyday life.

>>13285047
The OC/draw threads are fucking terrible. I'll never understand why people still pursue the whole original content ideal when the only content being produced these days is fucking terrible, and attracts more faggotry.

>>13285057
>They're very paranoid about ban-evaders, and show active disdain towards /jp/ culture.
Considering the state of ban evasion and /jp/ culture over the past few years it's hard to blame them, but it's still fucking retarded. The scorched-earth policies they love so much really did a number on what was left of the board.

>emoticons, greentext
I honestly don't know why people focus so much on this shit, it's clearly not what did /jp/ in.

>>13285057

In this thread we have multiple people who have admitted to posting mostly in generals.

>>13285062
>People should not have a license to shit on the board just because their shit "came from /jp/."
yeah, they should actually. shitposting licenses for everyone, please. this is that "board culture" everyone loves.

what, you'd rather shitposters from other boards run up in here instead? congrats. they already do on the regular. i guess i have people like you to thank for that, huh.

>On the other hand, ordinary discussion that came "from elsewhere" needs to be banned
calm down. i never said that. i just said i don't like it. i never said it should be banned. as long as people keep their shit to themselves i'm fine with it. i just said i don't even mind crossies as long as they don't do stupid shit that identifies them as such.

>I was going to say that you're everything that makes this board shit, but apparently you're proud of that.
again, you're talking as if /jp/ was not shit at some point. but yeah, if that makes me super tru/jp/ that's pretty cool i guess.

The board has literally always had people from other boards dropping by. The obsession with "crossies" (a term invented and used exclusively by complete fucking morons) is what's new. Where the fuck did you come from in the first place anyway?

It's funny because their inconsistent and over-moderation is what caused all this shit. If you have a dog you don't just randomly kick it around and then expect it to behave, it's going to start lashing out and any attempt to punish it is just going to aggravate it more after that point.

>>13285105

I posted a bit in babymetal general because I saw their old thread was not even clsoe to bumplimit and the thread would have lasted some days still. There was lots of drama, literal circlejerk, weeping for the good old times of the babymetal general and useles image bumping wir rerereposts. The worst state any general can be except for furry rping.

>>13285112

/jp/ went to shit long before it got any new janitor. What people call "overmoderation" mostly consisted of janitors doing literally anything.

>>13285113
Not really, just a bit. It becomes a bit /q/ everytime it gets linked but got stable into its own meta everytime.

>>13285119

>The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
right. and you clearly don't fucking get it, do you?

if you did, you'd realize i haven't once used /jp/ to back me up in any of this. /jp/ can hate me for all i care. for making it shitty. if i did, i only ever did it out of love. but i don't think i'm the one shitting up /jp/. no, that's reserved for fucks like you.

at least have the decency not to pretend like you're fucking better. you've done nothing for this board. it's shit and it's always been shit and i love it because of that. nothing you do will change that, least of all trying to claim some kind of moral superiority. stop pretending that this was anything more than a 2hu dumping ground. stop pretending it was anything more than or will ever be more than shit.

fucking crossie.

>>13285127
>and you clearly don't fucking get it, do you?
I get that you're the kind of person who invaded an existing community, turned the whole thing into complete and utter shit and now spend your
days pecking at the flesh of its corpse.

The fact that you have to constantly insist that it was "always this shit" over pretty much everyone else in this thread (who are spending most of their time arguing about why /jp/'s more shit than it used to be and not even disputing the fact that it is) is a testament to either your narcissism or your ability to delude yourself.

And it's all /jp/'s fault. Ever since the beginning of this board, every time someone tries to do something creative, people come to shit on them over and over until they give up. Even I am guilty of that with respect to shit I dislike.

This board has been /touhou/ since the beginning. Even moreso several years ago.

>>13285170
/jp/ accepts everything. It's what makes the place so great and so terrible at the same time.

>>13285140
Why do you keep insisting that you're talking to some sort of shitposting mastermind? He's said repeatedly he just watched it all go down. Just because you're buttfrustrated about /jp/ being bad doesn't mean you should take it out on the nearest convenient target.

Alot of what I liked about /jp/ was relocated to /vr/&/vg/ not sure what to think of this.

Haven & Hearth ended up becoming my favorite game ever. I don't like the end-game, but I've went from complete newbie to having all skills and a brickwall so often I've recently gotten my playtime over 1000 hours. I started playing again a week or so ago.

By the way, I really like how the first /jp/ village looked. It looked like an actual village, and the most wonderful part is that it all formed organically - it was just how it turned out in the chaos of everyone building their own stuff.

After the whole flavor of the month thing, I dropped WoT for years. Then, 1.5 years ago, I re-installed it, and I've been playing almost daily since. When you log back in on your beta accounts, you'll notice you got several free tanks for it - one for participating in the beta, and a couple as holiday gifts. I currently have just above 4000 matches played, most of them in tier 2. I stopped advancing beyond tier 5 because tier 2 is just much more fun than anything else in the game.

Remember the tupla threads?

I can't wait for it in like 5 years when we talk abot how great 2013-2015 was.

I guess the fun was that we somehow had all those closed beta keys for world of tanks, we were all on the same server and we kept listening to the /jp/ radio and spammed certain songs. Nowadays we have kancolle and all its clones, but they have no actual interaction between players. I wouldn't mind the revival of FotM games again. It was cool.

>>13285240
Hell, I remember wasting 100+ hours of my life trying to force one. Never heard voices or saw hallucinations or any of that shit. I still think about her almost every day though.

>>13285279
>closed beta keys
So it WAS closed beta after all. I recently had an in-game discussion with someone about free premiums, and looking it up, I saw that the Valentine II was the reward for participating in closed beta. Which felt weird because I thought we participated in the open beta...but apparently it was closed after all?

>>13284307
Yeah, what I really used to love was that I could just open /jp/ and find interesting new threads on the first page, maybe second or third. I still have the habit of opening the front page of /jp/ every once in a while, but it's almost always the same threads over and over again.

>>13284916
>What could they possibly have to gain?
I've been here since 2008, but I occasionally have to double-check stuff in the archives to make sure I get my historic facts 100% correct so as not make people think I'm a 'fake oldfag'. What do I have to gain? Credibility. When I say 'no, you're wrong, that's not how the Ixrec/age/MangaGamer thing went down', it's a lot more believable if I actually was active in the community at that time. Being an 'oldfag' (as much we (should) hate the term) lends a lot of credibility in historic matters.

>>13284974
>I don't know if I should cry or laugh when you grow old and realise that no one even remembers your time or contributions here, that makes this place worse than trash, your existence is beond meaningless.
The weird thing is that people actually remember my contributions here, lots of them actually, even if in most cases they don't have any identity to associate them with. And I honestly don't know if being remembered is better than the alternative.

>>13285088
I joined /jp/ for the VN discussion and I will participate in VN discussion, whether it's in the form of generals nowadays. I used to resist and attempt to make separate threads for discussion of specific VNs, but everyone else just stays in the VNTS and VN General threads, most never checking the front page, so those threads just don't stand a chance especially with the high amount of constantly-bumped generals on the board nowadays.

/jp/ also made me interested in denpa music and the Atelier series (GUST) which have been generals forever.

I've been here since day 1. There was a lot of uncertainty about what the board was supposed to be about, 'Japan Culture' was the title at the time and people kept coming here thinking it was a place to discuss traditional samurai and modern art.

Some of the things I miss are being able to organize flavor of the month MMOs with /jp/, something we had from the beginning but 1 mod's misinterpretation of the board led to them all being deleted and banned and religion = loli because someone was posting 'loli as fast as they could' in a religious debate thread that popped up.

I miss them good ole time religion threads.

>>13285404
And here was have an example of a fake oldfag. Or a good troll. Or someone with genuinely messed up memory.

>>13285435
What? No, I've actually been here since day 1. Dunno what you're on about.

people DO remember, I posted a dakimakura I made 4 years ago and someone still had the complementary image and posted it in the thread. And no, it wasn't image search because I looked for it and found only the censored version.

The kind of feel is not like the tripfag circlejerk but rather a 'oh, you're that anon from that thread four years ago. How you been?'

This always makes me nostalgic not only about /jp/ but of that period in my life when I could still take it easy and not feel bad about it.

>>13285220
>the bums on the upper right, the small hut with the barred door and the dead owner on the right

truly the best mmo I know about if it weren't for the free PvP

Is this the thread where we brag about how we were already around when the gods of 4chan, such as W.T. Snacks, shii, or Mr. VacBob-sama still walked amongst us mortals as equals? Because by the time moot opened /jaypee/, 4chan was already declining.

/jp/ right now is a lot better than it was around the same time last year

>>13285930
Given the way le ebin meme arrows and le hilarious surprise boxes are being used more and more lately, I disagree. /jp/ is far closer to /a/ than it was last year. (And the mods aren't helping, either.)

>>13285140
>I get that you're the kind of person who invaded an existing community, turned the whole thing into complete and utter shit and now spend your days pecking at the flesh of its corpse.
oh boy. there you go again pretending you're better simply because i guess you don't shitpost. only you're doing exactly that, right now in a shitposting metathread. that you can take yourself this seriously on this board is baffling.

>who are spending most of their time arguing about why /jp/'s more shit than it used to be and not even disputing the fact that it is
cherrypicking. and again, you're trying to use /jp/ to back you up. dig through anywhere and you'll find tons of people claiming that not only has /jp/ always been shit, but 4chan always has as well. if things really have gotten shittier, it's because of clowns like you who take themselves too seriously instead of properly taking it easy like they should.

you keep saying that /jp/ having been split from /a/ makes crossboarding acceptable and yet you keep conveniently forgetting that /jp/ was made as a containment board. it was shit from the get-go. only the flavors have changed a bit. if you think general threads are "better" you're retarded. seriously. a shitposting thread like this is the only way we're even talking like this. look in the general threads. they have...pictures of boat girls i guess. great "content."

>is a testament to either your narcissism or your ability to delude yourself.
now THIS is irony. i'm not the one pretending like this place was ever salvageable or that i could've made this place better and the only thing stopping me was a grand conspiracy of shitposters. holy shit get over yourself.

>>13285170
>I'm getting yandere vibes from this one.
not far off.

Oh wow, I haven't posted on /jp/ in about two years and the 2AM Flan threads are still going strong.

Impressive.

I always loved how disattached from "4chan culture" /jp/ was, but crossies keep spreading like a virus and nowadays I see a lot of retarded memes, greentextings and reaction images being used. It's disheartening.

>>13285686
Yeah sure. Remember /l/? Remember when 4chan died a bunch of times? Remember when you were able to donate via paypal instead of being forced to buy gold passes? Remember when some mod tricked a bunch of /b/tards into giving him money and ran off with it?

Remember when we could post naked images wherever we goddamn pleased?

>>13283876
>I kind of miss /jp/'s culture of polite sages
Yeah, a few days ago some fucktard from the Monster Girl Thread started whining that some guy was using sage correctly and kept calling him a tripcoder from /a/.

>>13286039
yeah, now that you mention it, it was really nice when most of the board members were able to ignore retarded new "memes" and tumblr behavior, and let them die.

>I feel as though general threads are the largest cancer. I don't actively pay attention to them but it seems like there are 4 or more monster girl threads a day

Their thread is full of /a/ and /v/ rejects, too. They should be sent to either /e/ or /d/.

Oldfag here.
So, you want to know what /jp/ like was in it's prime... Well, let me tell you-
/jp/ is where the true oldfags and the highest of powerlevels reside. Most people on /jp/ have seen more anime series than 10+ average f/a/ggots combined. In addition a lot of people on /jp/ can watch anime without waiting for subs like you fucking faggot babbys. Generally, /a/ looks to each other for approval of things, while /jp/ looks inward at itself instead of relies on a hivemind mentality. Also /a/ has no OC besides shitty image macro memes that get old within a week; /jp/ translates VNs, games and has doujin translation teams that regularly post there. People at /jp/ know your own boards' subject far, far better than you do, fucking dream on if you think you have any kind of superiority in any way whatsoever.

We sneer at you fucking newfags/normalfags, your shonenshit Big 3 threads, quasi-/v/ mentality and everything else that makes /a/ suck fucking balls. /jp/ is a better board than /a/ could ever dream to be because most of you f/a/ggots are, in our eyes, eternal newfags, aka there is nothing you could ever say or do to bring yourself up to our level, because you aren't true oldfags. You're G/a/ia, you're ANN and MAL trash now. Stay away, we don't want you in /jp/, not now, not ever. Go on and continue existing in your own world of shit thinking that it's any good, while the master race quietly resides separated from you mongoloids.

I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

I always thought flanfly was hillarious.

None of this crap actually matters, but le and ebin ruined /jp/ more than greentext and surprise boxes ever did.

>>13286554
>but le and ebin ruined /jp/ more than greentext and surprise boxes ever did.
Nah.

We always either ignored or replied sarcastically to bad posts and those two are pretty much that, though I do agree they've become overused and annoying.

>Reaction images were posted all the fucking time in the meme factory that was early /jp/.
>Welcome to the culture.
Because they were posted when this place JUST started doesn't make it part of /jp/'s culture.

>>13286631

>>13286400
That's the users fault though. Most older /jp/ users use sage very frequently, even though its visibility has been removed. I sage most every post I make.

Gingermod/Invisibro/swaglord was the downfall of everything. Basically 4chan's Yoko Ono.

>>13286553

> I want /a/ to become "ANIME & MANGA" again. Keep the random shit out of it.

>only you're doing exactly that, right now in a shitposting metathread. that you can take yourself this seriously on this board is baffling.
One shitposting thread can be dealt with, a hundred shitposting threads can't. And at various times during the shitposting years /jp/ had more than a hundred threads that were absolutely shit even under restrictive definitions of "shit thread."

>cherrypicking. and again, you're trying to use /jp/ to back you up.
Who was that "everyone" you were referring to earlier?

>look in the general threads. they have...pictures of boat girls i guess. great "content."
The /a/ boat general threads are, if anything, "better". More activity, more translations, more memes, more shitposting, more stupid arguments, less retards asking stupid questions that Google could answer in ten seconds.

>the only thing stopping me was a grand conspiracy of shitposters.
It only takes one retard to demolish a thread and a few to demolish a board.

Just because /jp/ was never great doesn't mean it was always this shit. You don't need to "dig" to find what I'm talking about, all you have to do is scroll up in this very thread.

You claimed earlier that shitposted was loved by "everyone" earlier, so stop whining about the numbers.

>The actual butthurt Touhou shitposters don't help KanColle characters threads from taking off either.

Now that was something you newfags did do right. The rise of Kancolle and the popularity of the shipbitches was so forced and engineered, it was excessively sheepish how all those Touhou doujin artists flocked to creating Kancolle works all of a sudden--Couple that with the asinine region-locking and the anti-consumer lottery registration system that persists to this day, the shitposting was a nice little way of getting some payback.

>>13286907
>anti-consumer lottery registration system
I agree that this is a stupid method, but I actually think it adds some appeal in that it makes it seem kind of an exclusive thing which adds some kind of strange appeal. I haven't bothered to try and play the game because of it, however.

>>13286920

>I agree that this is a stupid method, but I actually think it adds some appeal in that it makes it seem kind of an exclusive thing which adds some kind of strange appeal.

That just makes it even fucking worse. You're artificially generating demand by deliberately picking and choosing customers, thereby marketing it as an "exclusive club". They're not even trying to make a game that stands on its own merits and fucking over users that might be interested but can't be bothered to come in every other day at 7:30pm JST.

If this isn't what you'd call "anti-consumer", I don't know what is.

>>13286907
>The rise of Kancolle and the popularity of the shipbitches was so forced and engineered

And alot of people felt the same way about Touhou fans back in 2006 and whatnot.

The real estate was open and people wanted to have fun with a new universe, god forbid artists draw things that they like. So many stories have been told in Gensokyo it's hard to come up with something original that's not flatly contrived.

>forced and engineered
And what nefarious machinations were used to engineer the rise of Kancolle? It's commercial and marketed but that's the same as everything else that's not doujin.

Bye bye miss American Pie..
She drove the Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry..

It's artificially creating secondaries, which is fine for the creators since they're actually jewing out pretty well their franchise unlike Zun's naive approach 'it's fine as long as you keep Westerners out'

>>13288077
Honestly I mostly stick with /jp/ nowadays for VN General but I still have a tab with the catalog open because I can't let go yet of that false hope and lurk in the other threads that "interest" me.

>>13287979
I didn't actually delete it, just made all the posts private until I bother with it again.

I haven't seen anyone post that image of Sakura eating the fish until you like it in a while.

>>13288197
I actually just came back to /jp/ to ask something in the VN general but I already regret even unblocking 4chan from my computer. This place looks as bad as always. Well, the thread itself isn't bad and the self-contained generals works, but everything else just hurts to see. It may not be the "ironic" retardation from 2011~2012 but it's just a bunch of tryhards and crossboarders who look like they came to the board 1 week ago.

>>13286870
holy shit you're retarded.

>>13288636
Nope. Spin off chans always, always fail. There's only a handful that aren't completely dead, right? But they're still not all that active.

>>13288636
Yeah, go look at ota, gnfos and that shitty /jp/ at cripchan. Oh wait, they're all shitty parodies of /jp/.

/jp/ has always been shit, and I don't mean that affectionately. Never was hugely active posting-wise but lurked heavily from creation to around late 2011, and from there occasionally would pop in just to see what's going on. I only pass by nowadays every 5 weeks or so.

My perception of /jp/:

Early on it was indistinguishable from /a/ in terms of identity, though that was expected. That was when /jp/ was at its best though.

Then into late 08 it started to settle in to its identity as basically super duper elitist /a/ without anime, generally manifesting in this annoying passive aggressive tone. ("LOOK AT US. LOOK AT HOW MUCH WE SAGE. LOOK AT HOW MUCH WE *UNIRONICALLY* HATE JAPAN YET KNOW THEIR LANGUAGE. LOOK AT HOW RESISTANT WE ARE TO 4CHAN CULTURE. WE ARE THE NEXT LEVEL.")

Passive aggressiveness turned into ironic shitposting, which led to le ironic shitposting and TRUE NEET era. Also annoying tripfag worship and drama. /jp/ was never worse.

The mods eventually started cleaning things up and now /jp/ is just boring as hell. Content wise it's as worthless as ever. /vg/ and /r9k/ basically do what /jp/ used to except 10x better. It doesn't even have a point anymore and I don't see why it hasn't been deleted. Should have been deleted years ago and if it were up to me it would have never been made.

>>13288993

I wish my memory wasn't as terrible as it is. I've been on /jp/ since around the start of 2009 but I can't really remember much. Like seeing this image >>13282683 and tripfag names helps jog my memory a bit, and I remember miscellaneous bits and pieces, but not all that much is clear. Like I wanted to update that image but once I sat down and thought about it, there was just a big blank space in my mind between then and ~2013. Guess I could just look on the archives though. Does anyone else suffer from shit like this too?

Also does anyone have those old Easymodo rules saved?

>Also /sp/ is the worst board whose dumb memes are spilled over other boards and who try to force dumb shit like the 4cc all over 4chan instead of keeping their dumb shit in their dumb shitposter board.
I agree.

Oh shit I forgot about gigapudi. But same here, I'm thinking back to 2011-2012 and all I remember is the Saten/anime spam. You know, the ohayou! stuff. Did that even happen around then? I think it did.

Did anything big happen in 2013? I can't remember that year in general.

>You know, the ohayou! stuff
