I'll admit that /jp/'s users are good. But the board itself is a turd. Touhou, low budget Visual Novels, and my favorite "How do I learn Japenesezu."

If /a/, /v/, /r9k/, or /g/ had a less (what's the word I'm looking for) mainstream userbase, I wouldn't touch /jp/ with someone else's dick.

But I guess it's /jp/'s mediocre topics that prevents people from flocking to it.

Pretty bad, but my perspective is pretty skewed. /m/ is the one board I'm emotionally attached to. I can endure a certain level of shit on /jp/, but that same degree of shittiness on /m/ is unbearable to me.

>>1067131

Pre-Gurren Lagann I thought /a/ was pretty bad (at least during the day) but /m/ was still pretty good. Mostly true though, there's so much spillover. A lot of it has to do with the current popular mecha anime, which is kind of ironic since before Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, new Reideen, new Jeeg, etc. we had been complaining over the lack of new mecha anime. Then we got a good bit of it, and it had unintended consequences.

Yes. Take the summer of 2007, replace GL and LS with Code Geass and Naruto/Bleach, add a horde of Cirno imitators, subtract every good poster, multiply times a million. Voilà, neo-/a/. Not to mention FUCKING CAMWHORES. SERIOUSLY. Camwhores and tripfags being emo over relationships AND GETTING SERIOUS SYMPATHETIC REPLIES.

Measuring something against /b/ doesn't work. Leprosy isn't as bad as /b/ so I guess I should be jazzed that my face is rotting off. Just because it isn't /b/ doesn't mean it's good, it just means /b/ is that much worse.

I saw it for myself. One of the very few times I ever set foot in neo-/a/. I could not believe the reports that were leaking into /jp/ and I had to verify it, lo and behold, camwhore. It was like /b/ all over again.

If you can force yourself to take a temporary break from 4chan entirely or the internet in general, you'll never go back. It worked for me. I spent some months completely away from 4chan, then came back and was surprised by all the new boards. Gave /r9k/ a shot, was disgusted, settled on /jp/, never so much as looked at /a/ again. If I couldn't stand it the last time I was there in early January there's no way I'd be able to stand it now. But if I had been there through the whole decline I probably wouldn't have been able to extricate myself from the quagmire anymore than I can keep /jp/ from sucking up my time even when it's shitty like today.
