the what?

NEVER 5GET THE FALLEN

all it needs to lose now is touhou shit

>>13329986
thats pure communism

>>13329986
>all it needs to lose now is touhou shit

No. Get the fuck out.

>>13329986
So, all it needs to do is complete the transition into Japanese /vg/?

How about no?

>>13330012
It already is jap /vg/ nerdlord.

Or, at least it was between 12-14. Nowadays fun appears to be tolerated in very infinitesimal amounts.

>>13330012
This board was supposed to be nip /vg/ with some touhou, train and other japanese culture. But nooooooooooo, you fucking ruined it with stupid meme and shitpost.

>>13330062
>>13330103
That's nice because I would hate it if /jp/ becomes another /vg/.

>>13330111
Kill yourself-kudasai

>>13330133
Uh, kill YOURSELF "Kudasai".

>>13330138
No. You first.

>>13330103
>>13330062
Go back to /vg/.

>>13330147
No. /vg/ is full. We need colony.

/jp/ becomes so much better when you filter out the generals. It's almost browsable.

>>13330153
Go elsewhere and leave us alone, monster!!!

>>13330158
Same with /vg/

>>13330160
No.

You say that like it means something. 2012 is when things started to go downhill. Why would you perpetuate that time?

If he didn't mean that, then he really ought to work on his formatting.

>>13330224
No, I didn't. Try not having an subnormal iq before you attempt to reinterpret other people's posts.

>fun appears to be tolerated
>fun
Why would I use the word fun here if I was implying decline?

>>13330192
We talked about pretty much everything FM TOWNS,MSX you name it.

>>13330265
The problem here is you're a poor writer, and what what you wrote lends itself to misinterpretation.

>Or, at least it was between 12-14.
Here, you're talking about 2012 to 2014.
>Nowadays fun appears to be tolerated in very infinitesimal amounts.
The inclusion of that sentence right after that made it sound like you were looking back on a fond time.

For old time sakes the arrogance

>>13330224
Now I see what you've done. You decided to interpret what I said in the most literal manner possible in total disconnect from previous elements of the post.

You're either a nip or literal shiteating autist. In either scenario it's important to recognize that you will rarely have the slightest grasp of what other people are saying. Accordingly, you shouldn't distort the interpretations of others by mistaking your own ineptitude for valid semantic content.

>>13330299
What connotations exist in the statement "It already is jap /vg/"? You evidently didn't perceive them accurately, or believe jap /vg/ isn't derogatory in nature.

>>13330302

>>13330299
He was saying that nowadays fun is tolerated in small amounts.
Between 2012-2014, no fun was allowed at all (this should be obvious). Meaning that /jp/ has become more a bit more fun.

>>13330358
This ones the king though

>>13330681

"That's bullshit, every main Raiden game is the exact same thing"

>>13329886
>alot

>>13330688
No, I'm just surprised at the fact that they drew immediate attention to this in raging insecurity. Do they really think their customer base was retained over the course of their releases? Further, do they think the kids mindlessly playing this shit at an arcade have any concept of repetition?

It simultaneously highlighted a flaw in the product and failed decisively at somehow turning it into a strength. The who thing's indescribably goofy.

>>13329986
Even if I don't really like Touhou, I would rather not see it disappearing from /jp/.

>>13330210
ctrl + s also works, just so you know.

>>13329886
>no more soku,melty blood,stg,pc98,pc88
I'd love to play some efz or ougon but nobody wants to play with me.

>>13329886
I wish the soku threads would move back here. They're complete and utter shit on /v/.

troutsenpai, gaygrimr, nullsleep and the gang tried their best to shape /jp/ into their ideal /ag/ anime general board but lately it seems like they're giving up again or some of them got fired/quit

true /jp/ spirit never dies as long as the W exists

We just simply need less shitposting and more meaningful threads.

All these "Look at her belly" or "Touhou XY is beset" threads are fucking worthless traffic! And they pollute my /jp/
If you want a thread to talk about sexualising touhou figures than make a general for that.

I am sick of seeing 10+ of these in the catalog

>>13330876
BTW, same applies to idols...
"Why is she so perfect" or "Idol XY for president"... seriously. Those threads usually have no more than a couple of replies anyway and yet they push other threads into 404.. Like the photography ones, the 80s threads, generals or other stuff were people actually post something worthy.

Give me the reason why this board shouldn't be deleted.
inb4 ``I'm emotionally attached to it''

>>13330891
Generals are cancer which killed this board and so is everyone supporting them. Kill youself out of /jp/.

>>13330894
What's wrong with being emotionally attached to /jp/?

>>13330891

Its more than I thought, I even skipped a few because its just to many of them.

Holy shit, get rid of that shitposting, really.

>>13330913
what shitposting

>>13330906
well then, get rid of the generals. But create meaningful threads atleast.

>>13330908
It's silly to be emotionally attached to a corpse.

>>13330920
Someone post the picture of that elephant and the dead one.

>>13330913
They're not being paid, and if enough people shitpost, it's no longer considered shitposting.

They still should be deleted.

>>13330916
>get rid of the generals
How?
>But create meaningful threads
They die after 10 replies because hardly anybody bothers to post in them.

>>13330913
I'd rather have those threads bumping off old ones instead of the retarded crossie threads like "where do i buy jp stuff is jbox gud"

>>13330891
I've really grown to hate those 80s threads. All the other stuff can stay on /jp/ if they leave.

>>13330996
Even the monstergirl thread? That's what needs to go away.

>>13330934
Still less insipid than the same undying general that endlessly reproduces itself.

>>13331012
The only thing that's wrong with the monstergirl thread is the people in it. And you know what? They don't act any different from any of the other generals. They're all full of the same scum. Seriously go look at the level of patheticness in babymetal or onahole generals.

Pointless 80s anime nostalgia, all 3D shit, onaholes, and norm shit like trip photographs. That's the order in which shit needs to go. After that comes the monsterfags in the order of dislike.

>>13330876
The thread is just a disposable vehicle for content. Whether it labels itself as a belly thread or whatever else that could be considered "shitposting", the interesting stuff is on the inside and requires some discrimination to find.

>>13331028
And since someone's probably going to ask what my deal with onahole thread is:
They post simulations of vags and box art all over a worksafe board when it wouldn't be allowed in any other thread.
They are basically degenerates who chat with each other about how good it feels when they cum and gives tips to each other about masturbating.
Other than the anime style box art, it has nothing to do with anything /jp/ except being japanese fleshlights.
They also helped contribute to the downfall of the doll threads which are now half /cgl/ scum posting uncute dollfies, and half onahole thread guys fucking onahole dolls.

>>13330913
How new to the board do you have to be to consider specific touhou threads shitposting.

It's always been a rather meaningless "I don't like this" term but this is just absurd.

>>13331048
>It's always been a rather meaningless "I don't like this"
No it hasn't. It means "pointless spam", which at one time or another has involved actually spamming pictures of shit.

>>13331048
I am not new at all. I realize these have been around for years. That doesnt justify them as good threads, neither must I like them.

Anyone who unironically likes touhou is the cancer killing /jp/

>>13331055
It's meaningless because there's just enough intrinsic ambiguity to enable anyone to classify anything as shitposting and dismiss it on that basis. When something has been labeled in this manner people will ignore it - it's a mechanism of convenience for those who want to disparage things without the requisite debate.

>>13331068
Does the text that accompanies a touhou thread have any bearing at all upon what's inevitably going to be posted?

>>13330913
Most of your examples are perfectly acceptable, but I agree with some.

You know what's worse, though? General threads.

>>13331028
See, you are what wrong with /jp/ (to me).
You dont need to be a normie to like photography threads of trips. Infact non-normie appreaciate it even more as they will prolly never see in RL.

>80's Threads
are a great alternative and bring in fresh air between all the shitposting and current idol topics.

>3D shit..
Yea its rather shitty.

>Onaholes
Well, why the fuck not. Rather have some ppl talk about the pleasure of comming inside rather than MORE "Loot at cirnos belly" threads. I see her belly as often as I want, no need to force feed it to me.

>Monsterfags, babymetal and co.
Atleast they have fun and discuss something rather than spamming touhou butts.

Seriously, in general there is nothing even wrong with spamming thouhou butts, but not in 10 threads simultaniously.

>>13331055
>pointless
Code for "I don't like this."

>>13331081
Make threads you do give a shit about. It takes thirty hours without a reply for a thread to die so you can hardly complain that you're being repressed..

>>13331073
But there isn't a debate. If you post some stupid shit people don't care about over and over, it's shitposting. It's not not-shitposting just because you like it. The only ambiguous thing about it is that it doesn't just cover aggressive spam and trolling but also any sort of worthless content, including being used in place of the more appropriate "off topic".

>>13331082
Are you defending generals and attacking 2butt threads in a single post? Is this even possible?

>>13331082
>are a great alternative and bring in fresh air between all the shitposting and current idol topics.
No, they are /m/ posting the same exact thing over in each thread.

>Infact non-normie appreaciate it even more as they will prolly never see in RL.

>>13331099
>I do, often.
i'm terrified of what you think a "meaningful thread" actually is

>>13331085
It's also not shitposting simply because you apply the term to something. Spam and trolling are entirely separate things; your vague mental cobbling of these concepts is reflective of your tendency to just use it as a catch all for whatever you disfavor at any given time. If your issue was with spam, you'd have to concede that nothing listed in >>13330913 classifies as such.

The entire argument is misconceived. /jp/ was unbrowsable shit for the last 4 years because THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCUSS. Why anyone has ever wanted to narrow acceptable topics, particularly in this inarticulate and seemingly arbitrary way, is utterly beyond me.

>>13331108
No need to be terrified.
Lets take a look. Our board is called Otaku culture.

>All images and discussion should pertain to light and visual novels, figures and other otaku paraphernalia, Touhou Project, Vocaloid, doujin works and music, and diverse niche Japanese interests (kigurumi, idols, mahjong, tea).

See, thats already a handful of good topics.
Within that spectrum are most general threads, the 80s ones etc.

And as mentioned, if someone wants to talk about onaholes and what not I am fine with that aslong as its not just spamming things without actual content.

Now, there are a lot of more different otakus in the world. Photography, videos, even books and games. Whatever it is. Aslong as it is Japan related it fits /jp/.

That is my honest opinion and that is what the board should look like. This doesnt mean it must be full of normies, since almost noone wants that.

>>13331122
>See, thats already a handful of good topics.
wow that's pretty much every thread on the board

looks like /jp/ is in splendid shape

>>13331127
You must have skipped this:
>aslong as its not just spamming things without actual content.

>>13331129
>actual content
so touhou bellies aren't "actual content" because you don't like them, gotcha

>>13331127
>>13331129
And by the way, there is a huge difference in someone making a thread like "Lets have a thread about Idol XY and share pictures" and "Reimu is sexiest touhou"

Within the OP alone you can tell wether a thread was made with a serious background or not. And guess what, most of those threads that have a decent OP are quickly filled with contributors. Like that hashimoto thread we had earlier. Went straight to 300 posts.

>>13330703
They never stopped

>>13331134
No for fucks sake. I never said that. I even mentioned that I am fine with touhou butts. But it must not be across 10-15 differnet threads for gods sake.

Spamming this shit pushes other threads into 404 that others might still want to enjoy.

>>13331150
But what about people who enjoy discussion of tasting the assholes of different touhous?

Use the fucking archive, nerdo.

>>13331146
>here is a huge difference
it's all the same shit

if idol XY is in the OP then you're going to have a thread about her and share pictures, it goes without fucking saying, nobody cares about shitty boilerplate OPs

>Went straight to 300 posts.
yeah, after two months

>>13331150
>Spamming this shit pushes other threads into 404 that others might still want to enjoy.
if a lot of people want to enjoy a thread maybe one of those people should have bumped the thread

>>13331112
>Spam and trolling are entirely separate things
No they aren't. Spamming inflammatory images and text are both trolling.

>/jp/ was unbrowsable shit for the last 4 years because THERE WAS NOTHING TO DISCUSS.
That doesn't mean fill up the void with "post which 2h butt and anus would you fuck big guy (4u), and why you hate the jews" threads.

Now there have been some funny spammed threads in the past so a few isn't that bad, but not dozens. If you want to improve /jp/, fight back against those who want to remove actual content, like the anti-LN faction that's suppressed discussion of LNs throughout /jp/ history and those who shit on anything creative /jp/ tries to do, or encourage the general threads to spread out into threads about lesser topics.


>>13331122
>Now, there are a lot of more different otakus in the world. Photography, videos, even books and games.
and there is >>>/p/, >>>/gif/, >>>/wsg/, >>>/lit/, and >>>/v/ for them. (Here's where you exaggerate that everything on /jp/ can be put somewhere else and I say "/jp/ - I post here because my friends are here" again)

>As long as it is Japan related it fits /jp/.
/jp/ is for shit that is spun off of /v/ and /a/ for either being persecuted for being weeb shit or not exactly an anime manga or game. (like VNs). It is not /p/, /trv/, or /int/.

80s threads are also not good topics. They are just anime threads.

>>13331134
/jp/ is not /d/ or /c/ either and every kind of fetish or bodypart based thread needs to go.

>>13331146
Read >>13331075 and >>13331035 . It truly doesn't.

In a way, outrageous or vulgar OPs are satirizing the same threads that have come and gone thousands of times before them. You have to have been with the community for at least half a decade to get this.

>>13331162
>and why you hate the jews
any of those threads up now, or are you just labeling all threads with one fat brush to make yourself look better?

>every kind of fetish or bodypart based thread needs to go.
inane discussion about remi belly and reimu's pits are /jp/ heritage, you are the one who should go

>>13331169
Spamming Saten talking about sucking cocks in binary is /jp/ heritage too. Shitty threads need to go.

>>13331162
>Spamming inflammatory images and text are both trolling

>>13331173
Are you saying posting flamebait isn't trolling?

>>13331172
>Spamming Saten talking about sucking cocks in binary is /jp/ heritage too.
except that was removed for being a off-topic circlejerk, and was only "heritage" because a bunch of people spammed it for many months

comparing that to touhou threads that have existed continuously for seven years is just retarded

The question is: who is he quoting?

>>13331179

>>13331162
Welp, if we were to reduce /jp/ to what you described the board would be empty and could just aswell go.

What is wrong with the idea of gaining back the little community we had and discuss many things japan related instead of wandering out to different boards?

>>13331188
It wouldn't be reddit-like!

>>13331186
Has self-moderation meme killed all your brain cells?

>>13331187
It is if you spam the flamebait.

>>13331122
Your post is barely worth replying to, but

>Aslong as it is Japan related it fits /jp/.
No.

>>13331239
Are you stupid? How many people would sincerely respond to an "I'll have you know I graduated top of my class thread" right now? If anything these threads serve the valuable function of exposing new posters and idiots, providing subsequernt amusement for all.

You just have no/an extremely superficial conception about how imageboards work. I'd have to advise you to stop trying to discuss their basic infrastructure before further humiliation is provoked.

>>13331134
Besides shitty roleplay to go along with the imagedumping, there is zero discussion in those threads.

>>13331273
>providing subsequernt amusement for all.
Except when they stay.

>>13331187
Spam isn't flamebait, but flamebait can be in the form of spam. That guy's >>13331239
example of spamming male catboys and your example of posting really old pasta aren't equivalent at all.

>>13331276
>there is zero discussion in those threads.
who cares? it's an imageboard. if people want to share images with each other they can do that. every now and then people have an argument about something but the vast majority of those discussions happened years ago.

new content boosts discussion. when SoPM came out people discussed that. outside the ZUN cycle not much happens except fanart and the occasional doujinshi people find worth talking about.

It's clear that the Touhou character and body part threads are inhabited by the same people day after day, and are no different from the idol generals in that respect (except with even less unique posters).

The problem is that there are tens of these overlapping circlejerks (they literally hook up on foolz for gay roleplay) up at the same time and they contribute nothing except spamming the catalog.

Now all the people who aren't interested in pony, er, Touhou bellies have left for /a/ and only the cancer is left. And the cancer won't leave because their friends are here.

>>13331350
those people have been around for seven years. if you want to find something to blame the decline of /jp/ you should find something else because your explanation is just retarded.

i submit that people don't use /jp/ for /jp/ topics because /jp/ is a cesspit full of complete retards acting like they know anything, mindlessly shitting on everything they don't like.

>>13331335
>who cares?
I care.

>it's an imageboard. if people want to share images with each other they can do that.
Are you the same guy who said that other guy didn't know how imageboards worked?

Imageboards are for discussion, not for dumping.

We have boards specially for the containment of dumping. Every other board is for discussion, usually with posts accompanied by images, although people aren't obliged to post images with their posts.

Here, it's not people sharing images with one another, but one or two people dumping images from other sites en masse, or reposting old images en masse accompanied by erotic roleplay and "banter".

>>13331379
>your explanation is just retarded.
>/jp/ is a cesspit full of complete retards acting like they know anything, mindlessly shitting on everything they don't like.
You sure showed him!

"4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images."

>although people aren't obliged to post images with their posts.
people aren't obligated to post text with their images either. futaba has tons of threads that are full of ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!! and comments that rival /jp/ for inanity.

>>13331392

>>13331307
Fine, spam can act as flamebait in a limited number of circumstances, but that doesn't inhibit its classification or capacity to be easily moderated. I don't frequent monstergirl threads myself, but I don't see why people wouldn't come to just ignore and report such imagefloods, particularily if it's been demonstrated that argumentation doesn't work. That's clear cut and actionable.

The issue is that spam isn't inherently trolling and vice-versa. All of this is extraneous to the point of shitposting not being constituted of either of these things in its original definition.

>>13331410
>"4chan is a simple image-based bulletin board where anyone can post comments and share images."
That's from the homepage.

This is from the rules.
>Global 6: The quality of posts is extremely important to this community. Contributors are encouraged to provide high-quality images and informative comments.

The bit you quoted also said "post comments AND share images" not 'or'. The intention of moot implementing the image boards on this imageboard was to stop people from dumping images nonsensically in their mother boards.

He said that somewhere.

>>13331459
>The bit you quoted also said "post comments AND share images" not 'or'
it's almost like people are capable of making more than one post at a time

look at all the high quality informative comments (accompanied by high-quality images) that we're making RIGHT NOW

>The intention of moot implementing the image boards on this imageboard was to stop people from dumping images nonsensically in their mother boards.
and /jp/ was made to get inane touhou spam out of /a/

everything in its place, all's right in the world

In the end you all realise that this board is dead and there's nothing you can do but bitch in metathreads.

>>13331459
I''ll elaborate. The keyword is "and". 4chan is not, and never will be the go to place to get and share images. The primary purpose of an imageboard is to use images as a vehicle of discussion, not a place to simply look at and save them. The internet was, and still is saturated with places you can anonymously download and save images.

If the image dumping boards were never created for whatever reason, you would see far more dumping threads than the paltry few that seem to have lost their way.

Serious question: are they here and not /d/ for any reason other than spite?

What I would like to know is why threads talking about lolis get constantly deleted even when they have no offensive images, or even no images at all.

/jp/ just became a place where you can't even talk about them. How ironic.

They got an overwhelming response, evidenced by the fact that the thread reaches bump limit in less than a day when it's made, however they incorrectly thought it was from the board they came to, when it was really just people who migrated with the thread.

Now they won't leave because "lol epic trolling the /jp/ pedos!!!" They claim /d/ isn't right for them because they "write stories not post porn!" but /d/ wouldnt fucking care, just post stories with your porn, people would love them.

The absolute worst part of their threads in my opinion is that they complain if you actually do talk about fucking the girls, or have weird fetishes that they think are too much for their stupid sluts.

Fuck the monster girl thread

>>13332427
It's a topic suited for /d/. It's literally just an amalgamation of giantess, vore and furry smashed together into a loathsome wad and disposed of here. These people neccessarily spill over into the rest of the community, if only out of boredom.

>>13332436
>they "write stories not post porn!"
But /e/ has ENF threads that are filled with writefags, and it's the same sort of thing.

>>13332436
Back when they first moved, most of the board complained, and a few people tried to shitpost them off the board.

The mod, in his infinite wisdom, decided that everyone who didn't like it must be a shitposter and called it a day.

do you pull a crowd on social media? are you a hip millenial with hot opinions on social issues? do you dress and speak the part? it's kinda late for upstarts, personality-driven advertising has pretty much matured, marketers, promoters, and salespeople only began realizing around 2010 that the kids had ditched TV for years but the chasm is pretty much well full now. Early birds got the worm, note pewdiepie and his $4M/year, and the other assorted people who get paid to make faces on youtube

>>13332510
The individuals they choose for that lofty role are truly beings beyond our limited intellect.

uh you should be grateful that were here to revive your shitty ded board

by the way, 2hu hasnt been good in years :^)

>>13332540
Every one of those things directly oppose all that I value and consider tolerable in this existence. The words you use to describe these practices brings physical pain to me.

Funny that I still manage to have better aesthetic and rhetorical sense than anyone who'd ever be distinguished by those completely arbitrary metrics.

>>13332599
>those completely arbitrary metrics.
They're metrics that give you the ability to draw crowds and therefore make money as an internet personality.

If you want to be paid for rhetorical skill, become a lawyer.

The community is so different now that I don't really venture out of my usual threads anymore.

I'm not really so sure that a real board culture even exists nowadays. It's just a federation of generals that don't bug eachother much and a bunch of shitposters.

>>13332614
Things often draw crowds because there's a crowd already assembled. I've seen far too many people with no distinguishable features to speak of occupy these opinion leader slots to believe that properties are the basis for popularity.

>>13332576
/jp/ doesn't want to be "revived", fuck off

>>13332639
If nothing else they had the foresight or just the sheer dumb luck to get there first.

>>13332651
>foresight
Cute. You could pay me millions and I'd still refuse to participate in social media.

Our generation is done, OP. That's pretty much it.

NicoNico hasn't been the same for years.
2ch definitely hasn't been the same for years.
/jp/ hasn't been the same for years.

We're old now, and the kiddies are taking over. Our peers are moving on to more adult things while we linger here.

>>13332664
I don't want to move into "more adult" things....

>>13332658
That's nice.

>>13332672
Then you can keep whining about how the kiddies around you act like kiddies or just ignore the rest of the board and only concentrate on small niches that are still tolerable.

>>13332679
Well, I didn't create this thread tho.

>>13332599
>The words you use to describe these practices brings physical pain to me.

I'm sure your physical pain is deeper than that of an unemployed engineer, doctor, or any other professional that spent years of their lives memorizing three mile long formulas and then realize that they're out-earned by a brain dead nigger who made countless millions screaming at FIFA games

Check it out, he even wears gold shoes

As for the rest of your post, I have no idea why people posting on an anonymous image board are so opposed to personality-driven content.

>>13332703
>unemployed engineer
Hey, that's me.

>so opposed to personality-driven content
Have you ever read/watched/listened/got discharged onto by the stuff?

I miss old /jp/ too.

It felt like a family. My family.

>>13332664
just like middle aged men in neverland

>>13332718
>Have you ever read/watched/listened/got discharged onto by the stuff?
That sounds like something you'd have to go out of your way to do.

>>13332739
I willfully ignored /jp/ during its golden years, but things changed and by the time I realized that it was what I really wanted all along, it was already gone.
I've been desperately worshipping the scraps of a dead culture that I can never be part of.

>>13332739
>I miss old /jp/
I retroactively decided I always hated /jp/ so I don't have to be frustrated about how shitty is.

>>13332703
>personality-driven content
To be a bit more of an insane autist for a moment - personality is always extraneous to the intellectual content, without exception. This encompasses everything from the production of art to academic works; my ideal would see people deprived of any form of identifying mechanism. Identity serves merely to enable heuristics and distort perception. It does nothing but demean content and the interpretation thereof.

>>13332739

I mostly was in typemoon, 07th expansion, and radiojp threads back inna day, but my favorite threads to participate in were the NEET threads

It feels not so long ago, I was still a teen and now I'm a mid 20s adult who is forced to reckon with adulthood and responsibility.

Those truly were dreamlike days...

>>13332797

but do you have gold shoes?

>>13332862
I have self respect.

>>13330103
Delusional.

>>13330716
Holy shit thanks anon.

>>13330847
Melty is dead everywhere right?

>>13330210
Great, now don't use it on /jp/.

I left because of the overmoderation. When it gets so bad that ghost posting on warosu is higher quality and more on-topic than non-deleted posts on /jp/, something is terribly wrong. Combine this with a series of incredibly bad decisions by moot, and I've pretty much left 4chan completely. I only come onto this board occasionally, I spend more time on the chan of the number known only as eight now (which I'm sure they still filter the actual name of, more reasons why this site is so shitty now). This site had something special, something great. And this board was the best of them all. So naturally, this board had to be destroyed, followed by the rest of the site. Fuckers.

I always said overmoderation was the number one problem with this board, and what response did I get? "wow no we need more mods they will fix everything!!!!!" Good fuckin' job, retards.

>>13334924
Nobody ever wanted that. The "clamor" for moderation you refer to was created by the mods and janitors themselves; moot mistook this for actual community sentiments. It's not that hard to do on an anonymous imageboard.

>>13335096
Moot mistook shitposters for actual community sentiments for years until /q/ happened and encouraged people to write him.

>>13335690
Good thing they took care of those impostors, leaving only the trueJP members to foster its community in the years since!

I liked /jp/'s McCarthyism of the past.

>>13336192

>McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence.
Quoting wikipedia

I think there's more of that now than before. Everybody accusing everybody of being a newfag and ruining /jp/ as if its a secret club

>>13336660
It was a necessary evil, when you let your guard down the reds move in.

>>13336672

True, always get rid of the reds.

>>13336672
It was a necessary evil back when the board was actually about otaku culture and not cock sucking/sudo/dubs/season anime spam.

>>13336692
You forgot Tokiko.

>>13336692
All of those things are otaku culture though.

>>13336720
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>13336735
No it isn't.

>>13334924
>ghost posting on warosu is higher quality and more on-topic than non-deleted posts on /jp/
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>13329886
I left /jp/ for almost two years due to butthurt.

I don't recognize this place anymore.
And fuck it, fuck no loli and NEET threads.

This place used to be my home. Now I spend more time on fucking /a/

>>13337159
Loli threads still come up. As for NEET threads, they are dead. Moot killed them, because we wouldn't buy 4chan passes.

There is a NEET thread right now.

>>13330996
you and I are now enemys
