/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Cool meta-thread, faggot.

I know how you feel.
I have been here for only 3 years, but I still feel like many people have left this place, and recently there are so many annoying new people...
We can't keep them out anymore

I'm pretty sure the majority of /jp/ has been here since the split.

I've been here since 2010, was jp really that much different in 2008?

fack off noob who just learned bout split

>>9139627
That's what I want to believe too.

I've only been posting since April and have only been browsing since March. Am I part of the sekrit klub yet?

>>9139615
I've been ``here'' since '05. Suck my cock, dude.

That's because people HAVE left. Look at the archives from 2008/2009. Still shitposting, but also considerably more intelligence.

I blame it on social networking becoming ridiculously pervasive. Everyone thinks they have some kind of god-given right to have their say on every single topic, because twitter or fagbook or whatever it is has encouraged them to spread their thoughts every 5 seconds. Notice all the neo-/jp/ tripfaggots were involved in that godawful formspring circlejerk a while ago. It's that sort of mentality we're dealing with on 4chan today.

>>9139693
I prefer to blame the shifting board sensibilities than some unseen massive migration.
The board overall just became more tolerant of shitposting and with little resistance it became the norm. New people flowing in might have had a hand on that, but it just can't be the sole reason.

I miss remijam ;_;

Rather than just letting this shit thread be what it is, or having it descend into endless arguments of "/jp/ has been become more shitty over time"

Why not remember the good times you've had, or the good that has come out of /jp/? I was the guy who paid autismbux and delivered in this thread on a whim http://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/S1306499 and it has gained me a regular tabletop group that's lasted to this day. I still play with them every saturday

We've got archives that span the entirety of /jp/'s history, so why not go find a post you made and remember to this day?

Do people eventually leave /jp/ when they get older and grow out of this shithole?

>>9139738

its SO COOL POST!!! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ♫

aH now im looked through archiving for my FAV POSTING! that i had recently.

I think its many that hold for strong, nice memory.♥ its because post on jp/ Is SO FUN! and its pleasant people for speaking to someitme. (✿◠‿◠)

but tfrom the "Recent memory" i think its my fav:

http://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/S8318343

But ,its sad. As well.
(。・_・。) because now im realise.................................me and my frend i met in thrad, never made the thread for KOUHAKU UTA GASSEN! !!!!!!

ANd we are never speaked again. No one time ever.
ITs like.....maybe its nice friend to made but we never will meet again.
;_;

(o´ω｀o) its OK However I remember this nights (DEC 31 2011) well because......i watch some of music then i drinked many alcohols and falls asleep. lol. its why didnt make thrad. lol. ╮(─▽─)╭ its "my bad" lol.

anyway im realy hope maybe some how its ANON read this threads and maybe we become friend.......its possible i hope make friend. (◡‿◡✿)

I noticed that people don't sage as often anymore, I stopped after captcha started eating my fields.

Remember waking up in Gensokyo?
That shit was pretty stupid and it's probably for the best that it got shut down when it did, but I had fun with it while it lasted.

>>9139633
Quite a bit. We were all waiting on Message to fucking complete his installer for UBW, and could only discuss a couple VNs like Tsukihime or Ever17, there was no weekly translation thread because there weren't many projects.

>>9139615
For a second I thought it was the artist posting, and got a little excited, then I saw the filename. Shame on you.

>>9139803
I remember that, the person in charge got banned because CYOA threads weren't /jp/ related or some shit, so he moved to some forum.

Several years later and CYOA threads have returned to /a/.

>>9139738
http://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/S40945
Hah, I had forgotten about this idea.

2008 sure was fun, there was just so much creativity going around. Ideas and projects were everywhere. And even if in the end it turned into something so big it was overtaking the board with spam, CYOA threads were one of the best parts of early /jp/

Am I the only one that hates recognizing their own posts in an old thread? If it's not embarrassment at some stupid shit you said, then it's that feeling that comes from reading a post, agreeing with such an insightful and agreeable poster, just to realize it was you all along

Sometimes I have dreams where I spend time with all the dead and lost tripfags and we have sleepovers and play SWR and POFV together

I've been here since Jan 2009 but really do regret not coming sooner.

>>9139839
it's never too late for the party around here

>>9139708
RemiJAM came back on June 1st and wished me a happy birthday. He was gone for over six months. I was so glad that he came back.

Everyone has moved on, anon-kun.

Even I, though I still come here, have slowly started getting my life back on track.

/jp/ is a good place if you're lonely, lost and feel like you have no place you belong in, but it's not somewhere you can stay forever.

It's not a place you SHOULD stay forever.

Once you used it for support at the lowest point of your life, it's time to start thinking about leaving it behind.

Godspeed.

>>9139847
NSJ and wtH is the same person.

>>9139815
Sai abandoned us for the more fertile grounds of /a/ drawfag threads. He got good too, how could a guy that started with smirk edits turn into this?

It's just too sad to think of all the artists we have lost over the years. Cowhou anon was wonderful. Dan Kim ran some really fun threads. I don't think there's anyone left in the OCT that actually shows up in the old list
http://jp-devel.co.cc/wiki/index.php?title=Drawthread_Repository

Hopefully we'll have more people with artistic inclinations coming in at some point

>>9139860
HELL no stop trying to make wtH look bad... He was true to HELL until the end

Spending a lot of time on the archive, what makes me sad is obscure tripcode users.

There are so many tripfags who had brief bursts of activity between 2008-2010 in particular, then just disappeared.

The worst part is, though, no one remembers them. They never get mentioned. Bear in mind, I'm not talking about shitposters who adopt a trip for a month or two to try to make a name for themselves. A lot of them weren't bad. Many of them were fun and contributed well to /jp/. At the very least, they tried to.

Mind you... even if they were bad, I'd still wonder... where did they all leave to so suddenly?

>>9139847
But NSJ is a girl who is permanently on her period...

>>9139856
But my life continues to get worse. How could I leave if I'm still a depressive mess that can't relate to his own home board anymore.

I would like to move on like all the rest, but I think I'm chained to this place forever.

Old /jp/ had just as many shitposters as old /jp/ did.

Instead of dwelling on old memories, why don't you simply make new ones?

>>9139886
>Old /jp/ had just as many shitposters as old /jp/ did.
Can't argue with that logic

>>9139886
I don't really remember those times, but everytime I go lurk on 2008 threads, I just see a lot, a lot of Touhou threads. But this amount of shitposting? No, I do not see it. I just see a united /jp/ with a board culture. Is the board culture shitty? Yeah, pretty much. But it's still much better than what we have today. Much better.

>>9139880
Then clean your home up and make it look nice. Instead of judging people on the amount of time they've been here, judge them on the qualities of their posts instead. You may very well could be planting the seeds of a what is soon to be a very good anon.

The shit threads that constantly litter the front page? Don't reply to them at all. Even if you reply and sage, you still give the poster attention, which is why they keep doing it.

Start organizing /jp/ events and stuff you guys like to do. If you sit around simply waiting for somebody else to do it, you're going to be waiting a long time.

>>9139864
Does the guy who those really crazy scenery tiles in paintchat still show up? I haven't checked in ages because any time I show up its empty, or scribbles.

>>9139897
Oh god, remember athens?
I think those threads are probably the lowest point of /jp/ history.

>>9139901
It happened in phases, if I remember correctly. At the start there were still quite a few that held on to /a/ mentality, a bit later we started getting huge tripnerd circlejerks with other shitposters trying to stir drama between them, then K-ON and Railgun happened.

>>9139866
Most people shed the tripcode and continue contributing as anonymous. It's just not worth the effort, specially when there are no good examples left. Haven't seen a good poster with a tripcode in ages. Yeah, that includes me. Pretty shameful to see how it turned into a "hey guys, remember me!?" thing reserved for meta and awful shit.

In that sense it's better to have old, good tripcode users to just fade away, even if it means less recognizable faces.

So, that's my theory. They figured the tripcode thing didn't work for them and went back to posting as anonymous.

>>9139909
We have faggots like potc and all those confaggots taking up athens banner now. /jp/ didnt change much. It was shit then, it was shit now.
I do think old /jp/ was more sarcastic and more witty.
I am not too fond with new /jp/ blatant irony. They dont even try to be subtle. It was cool when you cant tell truth from lies.
Everyone now is just trying too hard.

>>9139915
>>9139901
Honest question here. Why do you guys keep cutting your wrist over it and not do anything about it?
And why do you take it out on new migrants that are good posters instead of old migrants that shitpost all the time?

>>9139928
I am doing something to help create new times. I believe as much as you do that we should all keep walking and create good threads, discuss in a decent way, and be able to enjoy the board together. Forget these ridiculous dramas that we've had over 2012, and just try to get along. I've created a few succesful threads over this month and the past, but if you guys pay attention to threads that are off topic or have nothing to do with the board, it can't be helped. I do what I can. And on a side note, what I have noticed is that it doesn't matter how many times we have a janitor, the only ones that can change the board are us. Or a moderator, on a distant and unlikely future.

I only visit /jp/ now and then to read the NEET threads. I have never been posting much, even years ago. Otherwise I hang around /bun/ a lot. For me, it's like a mature /jp/ for all those who have somehow moved on from imageboard culture but still like to quietly hang around their old friends just to appreciate the sense of past unison.

>>9139928
I don't do either of those, but I don't see how you'd stop an anonymous poster from legitimately enjoying shitposting all he wants. It's gonna happen regardless, every board has posters like this. At most you can ignore them and that doesn't help when autism is involved.

Why are you still here? We are all waiting for you over at /a/

>>9139928
Because the new migrants dont bother lurking.
They are probably the biggest complainers and whiners in /jp/.
It is a good thing we have cirno satori and alice now.
They probably feel more welcome now with these cute girls giving them pity reply.

>>9139928
Because I'm tired. Been in meta and "how can we save /jp/" threads for years now and it never goes anywhere.
I don't reply to shitpost threads hoping that I can be part of starving them out. I report them so whatever meido is active that season can clean them. And I respect the new posters, a lot. It's easy to see they make the effort to adapt and learn so they can contribute back. Like I said before, the date you joined doesn't affect the kind of poster you become.
But I guess it's easier to join in and shitpost if all you see in the front page are shitty threads. You might think such threads are the board culture and adapt to that. That's what I'm afraid new people think, and I hope they know better.

>>9139915
I think K-On! and Railgun really marked /jp/ for the worse. If you ignore the Sion threads he's been doing since forever, people have been spamming anime threads since then.

>>9139951
>new migrants don't bother lurking

That's a very, very biased statement.

>>9139954
I know. But there lies that problem. More planning than acting.

>>9139994
I meant the blatant NEWPOSTERS.
How would you know if someone is new unless they announce it.

>Hi I am from [insert here], can you guys help me out on [insert here]

Unless you have IP logs since the creation of /jp/, please tell me how you can spot someone new unless they announce it loudly or slipped up on common /jp/ knowledge?

>>9139816
>Several years later and CYOA threads have returned to /a/

Honestly I hate them. They're made in the same vein of ironic shitposting. It's not cliché because I use all these anime clichés ironically!

>>9140119
They had novelty going for them, and it was fun to be a part of it. The /a/ ones are really bad, just as most of CYOA after You Wake Up In Gensokyo are. Too many people jumping in, many not very talented.

2010 was shit.
I left /jp/ for at least six months, because it was unbearable.
