I think the small community, the comfy sense of belonging, made otherwise mundane things fun and interesting. It might also be a severe case of good-ol'-days syndrome, but I miss the '00s internet. The normalization and commercialization of internet community has made things less personal, and ruined the feeling for me.

I missed Fukkireta. The best ones were from VA impersonators that sang over it.
It was also extremely easy to make versions for various characters because you only needed to draw what, like 10 frames? and put it on loop and some people still managed to screw it up, even if the art was cute. Opening a new [character] video only to find it used the karaoke version and had no voice was always a letdown.

I have been wanting to make a network of websites that mimic the old internet in culture and set up. I would create barriers to prevent normies from accessing the sites. While at the same time keep a level of anonymity where the only thing that could be found on those sites would be a persons IP address, unless of course they wanted to give out there personal information for formality, social, and get-to-gether reasons.

I have even went as far to make several MS Word files on my idea going to about 20 pages.

How would you do that? Unless you mean editing your robots.txt file such that only large 200+ character URLs without any description appear as entries.

>URLs longer than 200 characters so it can't be easily linked into twitter.
What do you plan on elongating? Assuming a format similar to this site, I guess I could see long hashes in place of post numbers being used as a simple method to generate longer URLs. Processing power should not be an issue here if we also assume you want to keep a small community. Disabling hotlinking might be worth considering.

>A system where you have to be checked for device, IP address, and solve a cachapa based identifying memes before being allowed to have access.
User-agent spoofers could bypass the device check, unless you are extending the check to screen resolutions (ex: a visitor with a 1080x1920 display resolution has a high probability for being a phone user, therefore refuse access and perhaps allow access if the visitor can resize their web browser, which could prove that he is not a phone user). Refusing access to IP ranges that belong to cellular networks is a good idea but I am not sure if they keep the same range. Even if they did not keep specific ranges, it would probably not take too much effort to update depending on the scale and frequency. I do admit it is "statistically safer" to assume that overlap of IPs between blocked ranges and users will not happen if a small community is kept. The most effective "wall" here would be the captcha, assuming answers are re-disordered per captcha if they will not be a custom input.

I'm interested in more details of what you plan.

The sites that are intended to be part of the webring will be organized so that way it will be very easy to find content, groups, and people.

User uploads will have a very limited data capacity to keep the costs of the site low and the rate that I would have to expand the server's hard drives low.

Some how keep the site free to use for normal access, but a premium version could be available for more involved members.

Try to keep advertising to a minimal and only allow approved advertisers that are advertising content relative to the site.

All of the websites require an account for full access, no email is required, one account is good for all services.

Users are required to use two passwords and select there least favorite color to log in.

> The meme captcha is a neat idea but would be easily defeated by an index of them that anyone could access
I doubt a normie would be able to figure that out. I would pick more obscure ones that they wouldn't know of the top of there head. What Is Love, All of your base are belond to us, Crawling in my skin, Spurdo Sparde, Eurobeat Intensifies would be examples of the cachpas.

The chan site is planned to be made after I get the weblink set up. So however long it takes me to make the website + 2-4 additional years. With in that time period I am anticipating that Plebbit dies out or experiences a large loss in traffic from dissatisfied users, or 4chan getting warnings from various governments, to create a demand for a website to slowly take it's place.

It's definitely on the latter side. My friend linked me a chart recently showing that site usage has more than doubled since before gamer gate, with notable jumps then and around the 2016 election. I think that a reasonable number of people would say that this website helped shape most of the subcultures of the internet today. I think that anime in the west had its growth accelerated due to this website, though it will still have reached popularity just slower. Memes can draw most of their lineage here as well, and even if their point of origin isn't this website then they were imported from Japanese internet through 4chan or popularized through 4chan.

Thing is though alot of the time there's no real gain in commodifying things from here. What are you going to do with an image with 500 likes on facebook, sell it? I understand the idea of account selling for Twitter and the like but I doubt many of the people commidifying things on a hobbyist scale are that business minded. I guess it's an issue when companies start using that to garner favor with the people who are running and viewing those hobby pages.

The real interest companies would have here is not to sell us stuff, because even after the recent traffic hikes 4chan is a small community when compared to the real Internet cashcows, it would be to induce us to make something popular. 4chan is a trendsetting group, it has a tremendous influencing power over all the other bigger Internet communities.
Don't think of memes as something that companies would want to get popular for the sake of them being popular, they want to have them get popular in relation with some product/service/idea/person they want to make popular, because once they have successfully influenced a few million people here, they can let us influence billion of people far more efficiently and efficaciously than their marketing teams could hope to.

/jp/ has everything to do with that.

The types of anons who frequent /jp/ are the same type who spawned what this god-forsaken site has become. It's unbelievable to say it, but our collective weeaboo autism formed the core of this site once upon a time, and much of the consciousness of 4chan at large is still built on it, even if many of the newfags hardly realize or give any thought to the origins of it all. Pundits and powerful people aimed directly at us as they said it on national TV:
>Trump supporters are mostly childless single men who masturbate to anime

The common board culture of 4chan very much still revolves around this sort of coy self-deprecating image of us being a collective of social rejects, hentai-fappers, forever alone weeaboos, even though it's clear and obvious that these labels apply less and less to the people on the site nowadays. Am I insane to think that in some sort of perverse way, it has become "cool" to be like us? I feel as though our scorn of normies and social withdrawal become a trendy thing to imitate.

Now, I'm not saying either that the unwashed masses of newfags flock to /jp/ and other wayside-weeaboo boards to learn from us either, but /jp/ today is still very much spiritually the same as what all of 4chan was a decade ago - we're almost like living history, neckbeards trapped in amber showcasing how modern 4chan culture evolved.

I honestly am not sure how well that quote illustrates your point. It was more likely driven by the fact that for a while there were a whole lot of right-wing twitter commenters running around with anime avatars on (and as we all know, anime is for lonely pedophiles) rather than anything to do with 4chan. And the people riding that garbage train weren't so much "classic anime loser 4chan" as much as a new generation of casual hobbyists and activists.

The "anime people" you're talking about were only ever half of 4chan, or even less. The other half of 4chan was edgy kids who came to 4chan so they could post gore, make jokes about niggers, and hack people's dogs.

>Am I insane to think that in some sort of perverse way, it has become "cool" to be like us? I feel as though our scorn of normies and social withdrawal become a trendy thing to imitate.
This is basically only true in /a/ anymore. It barely exists in /jp/ anymore and /r9k/'s version is twisted beyond recognition. The rest of 4chan has grown up and stopped caring, or become so jaded that being a loner is now a fact of life rather than a point of pride.

You really missed the point.

The trump hat daki is just one of the easiest examples of how otaku culture, or at least homage to and parody of it, pervades 4chan, even though fewer and fewer self-styled otaku and weeaboos inhabit this site.

It seems silly to be proud of it now. There are things about normal existence that I'm glad that I don't have to deal with, and there are good things about being alone, but overall it is a misery.

The fact that a whole lot of right-wing twitter commenters run around with anime avatars has everything to do with 4chan. Their whole shtick is a direct, verbatim copy of 4chan-style discourse, anime girls included. Even if they're not personally weebs or no-lifes, it's an important part of what they learned as a winning formula. You don't change a winning formula.

I think they are 4channers, rather than people copying 4chan. It's just too bizarre of a thing to form on its own like that.
One of the reasons that this style of discourse is so successful though, is because it's disarming and subversive, and it's a style thats been practiced on 4chan daily for years, played out time and time again with laughinggirls.jpg and all of the other familiar jabs.

If they make eloquent and good points in an argument, their opponent was just defeated by this walking trope of an anime-loving social reject - how embarrassing!
If they're beaten in an argument - Well, they're anime-watching losers, what did you expect?

It sort of brings a touch of cheekiness and trolling to everything - if you don't take them seriously, they might get blindsided, if you do take them seriously, you might become a joke.

Watching Caramelldansen again made me wish that someone would collect all the biggest meme hits of the early Western internet and set them to music, like Nicovideo does sometimes.

Instead the only way you have of looking back on the early days is to visit places like KYM or maybe wait for someone to start a "old memes thread" somewhere.

The association of anime, etc. with politics like in >>16401320's pic is I think in its origin post-ironic. It's ironic to see a cute anime girl with guns and MAGA hat (which makes it funny), but it's actually sincere (making it post-ironic), and something done by people who are right-wing and like anime. They are a minority, but people who don't understand what is actually going on look at it and only see the ironic (not post-) level, and spread it like idiots. I think a lot of our jokes spread this way. We make a sincere joke that is on its face ironic (thus post-irony) and people who don't understand only see the face of it and it gets popular, eclipsing the people who spawned it.

I mean that the people who made the sincere joke are the minority. That clause was unclear.

I wanted to respond to you by saying, "Is this post ironic?" but realized that it would be a pun that could be read as asking whether your post is ironic, or whether your post is post-ironic. I thought it would be more ironic to just explain it rather than to post it. So this post is post-ironic, ironically.

I believe that nowadays saying "ironic" and "post-ironic" are an ironic meme unto themselves, but I believe this to be true.

One of the things that comes to mind, aside from your example, are the more depressive jokes or memes like pic related. At first it was a played straight way of complaining about depression, then it got diffused as a joke.

Another example would be cuteposting. Played straight because you don't exactly have much to discuss on touhou thread number inf. and it's fun to turn off your brain for a while, then it became adopted and shared as just "haha those silly /jp/ people"

I can't see people talking about irony anymore without thinking about this image.

/jp/ has gone through so many phases of being ironic and then post ironic and unironic and ironically unironic and so on, that people lost track of whether they were being ironic a long time ago.

Well if you have any left leaning ideology your gonna hate /pol/ no matter what. But I guess if where to make it be more focused and have some kind of rule where you can not say "Your ideology is not welcome here" and have slightly smaller but desginated boards of /pol/ such as Humor, Discussion, and News it could be more open for more ideologies. Especially the humor board can contain most of the YLYL and "X hate threads".

>>16400583
It still creates a barrier to block most of the cancerous normies. its not perfect, but if they can at least know what some of the obscure and tasteful memes are I doubt you will see an influx of crap like the cookie cutter facebook memes. The idea is that you have to prove your self to have some taste.

It'd be a statue of the old anon in a suit with no face. That damn frog and wrinkle faced guy are probably gonna be the new faces of this site. I wonder if the artist of that comic feels any shame for what his character has been used for.

I just had a thought that frog = cockmongler, wrinkle face guy = happy negro, and spurdo/that long legged spurdo = pedobear.
