When did that actually happen? I don't mean the event itself when moot advertised /jp/ as the new /b/, I mean when was /jp/ an actual calm place and not a weeaboo fest?

If anything that picture is us right now, despite the generals we were being pretty calm.
Now suddenly moot goes all "im kill" and we get invaded by crossies like in that picture.

Nupe. Most recently he was living off of venture capital money invested in his other company. No judgment implied, either. That's how the VC game is played with high-growth, high-risk startups, and while I'm sure his investors were sad to see it fail, they each have another 20 investments to bank on.

Eh, I don't think moot has enough power by himself to destroy a posting culture. I think /jp/ just trolled itself too hard.

No. I used to visit /jp/ more in the past, but only infrequently for the last two years or so.

The reason I'm worried is that moot expressed interest in selling 4chan in some interview. We can (justly) complain about moot, but he was still relatively hands-off and didn't change around the core format. A new owner could ruin everything if they, either from not knowing what they're doing, or from having goals that are at odds with how the site works.

I just hope moot doesn't over ownership to someone really bad.

None of that really matters because /jp/ bounced back to normal in no time.
The new moderation, which deleted every thread they didn't like every 30 minutes or so and the /jp/ "rules" they stickied that not even janitors followed pretty much stiffled /jp/ into what it is now. If there was an event that changed /jp/ forever, it's that one.

To be honest, while the relentless spam and "funposting" got annoying over time, I have to admit they made me chuckle the first few times.

I wonder, if the janitors and mods would just just take a break off of /jp/ for a day randomly once every month and not tell anyone, would anyone notice? Or did we somehow manage to censor or discipline ourselves?

Maybe right now it's getting better, with VN threads finally leaving the general and less autistic spammers like niggy, nocturnes and all that cock sucking retardation. But if you unironically think 2011 and pre-/q/ 2012 /jp/ were good times, you should go to gensokyo immediately out of shame. And I'm not saying post-/q/ /jp/ was good.

The primary way in which moot fucked over /jp/ is leaving nobody to take care of it properly for an extended period of time.

>>12940744
He quit of his own accord after deciding moot "didn't care enough." Which was a fucking stupid expectation to have to begin with; /jp/ in 2010 wasn't so shitty that it was impossible for him to deal with it or needed exceptional attention.

Of course, it's "not his fault" because he was suffering from a brain tumor and doped up on a psychiatric kitchen sink at the time, but it's still his fault.

The main issue is the creation of this board. It was made to be /a/'s trashcan, and guidelines were never properly explained to what would be okay or not to post. There were barely any mods or janitors on the board, except for maybe one or two who would randomly show up once in a while (hence the whole lazy meido meme from 2009). The board was aimless, but managed to develop an internal culture with very strong elitism that managed to last from 2008 to 2010. There were the resident tripfags, plenty of joke threads (basically in a time where 4chan wasn't so seriously), etc. It varied from shitty, great, and decent, but moot probably thought it was shitty because he didn't give a fuck about otaku culture so he couldn't browse the better threads. This all changed when moot made the only janitor that was willing to take care of this board quit due to the whole puddi spam in the end of 2010. This lead to a year of simply no moderation, where a shitposting culture started to develop since there was pretty much no one around to hold down the shitposters who were being controlled by AoC's autism and his spam filters. Pretty sure that /jp/ was famous board-wide for being the "shitposting board" for like 2 years because of that. More and more people joined the board, atracted to the whole idea of an unmoderated board with a local culture of people who just liked posting trash and found it hilarious, which went so far at the point of not even being board-related sometimes, such as the gloryhole and "suck my cock dude" threads. It was basically the biggest /jp/ exodus where the majority of posters who actually cared about the board would gradually leave. Can you really blame them, though, considering the freedom they had could be easily translated as "these posts are /jp/", since mods feared touching this board because the culture seemed alien to them?

What proceeded was a massive war between the established shitposting culture and the new janitor(s?) assigned to the board, and it would be completely normal to wake up and see /jp/ missing 6, 7, or 8 pages. Lots of spam, ban-evading tripfags, metathreads, dubs and so on were very common on /jp/. Now, /q/ was the second biggest turnaround, because a mod tried to establish guidelines to /jp/ and the official rules were finally adapted and made more clear than before. A lot of backslash occured, and again, another huge fight, perhaps the major one between mods, shitposters and regular users who were pissed off by the changes ensued. Some people regard this whole affair as horrible for the board because it essentially tried to change how it was working so far. Anyway, end result is that the board became again, a huge wasteland after the second exodus happened. A good amount of shitposters left, and 2013 was the last year of the "war", with small resistent groups showing up here and there. I think this was the year when warosu created a new den of shitposters, and they basically tried to spam the board and shitpost like in previous years. The issue is that they were fewerHighlight to when moot ended up atracting a raid to the board because he said in a livestream that /jp/ was his favorite board. Anyway, 2014 was when the board remnants started isolating themselves in generals, and everything outside of them was basically occasional spam, touhou/iM@S imagedump, or FotM japanese/general thread. And now we have this year, which started with moot quitting. A few grand moot and mod great moments throughout the history of /jp/:

Are Janitors and Moderators assigned boards, or do they pick which they want to watch over?
I get the feeling the post AWA moderators have all been awful, and Im under the impression they are not from this board and are basing their moderation and deleting off the ambiguous rules.

The curious thing is that during the initial launch, he said he would delete the board if it was an issue, but obviously it was an issue for those years, yet its still here.

How would I know? Anyway, pretty sure mods are global, and janitors, most aren't, but a few are.
Everytime people complain about a certain board's moderation, people say "b-but mods are global!", yeah, they are, retard, but everyone can figure out they play favorite with the boards they prefer because it's impossible to understand all of 4chan's boards, aside of deleting obviously shit threads.
I also missed details of the "happenings" on 2008 ~2010 like CYOAs, /jp/ being deleted, idol wars, meido/OC-tan, and so on, but just searching the archive should be enough.

Mods are global, but have home boards. Jannies are assigned one of the two or three boards they cite in their application, and are assigned more as time goes on. The problem is moot's improved mod tools means they never have to actually be a part of the site they're throwing hammers at. Before, if someone spammed, you could report one post and everything would get wiped and banned. Now, only the individually reported posts get wiped, if they're each reported by a certain number of unique ips, and the poster almost never gets banned.

I've met moot twice, over the years. The first time, he was an underage friend. The second time, he was not underage. My impression was that he wasn't really any different. He didn't strike me as someone with much in the way of public charisma. I think 4chan's success, for him, is one of those things where he put in his own work, and was brilliantly successful due to happenstance of who he brought in as staff and users, and his good luck of beginning it during the golden age of the internet. 4chan will never be the same, mostly because the internet will never be the same, due to a variety of reasons best saved for another time.

/jp/ will never be the same for a variety of reasons, as well. moot is actually the least of them. The real reasons can be summarized as follows:

a) We're not young anymore (the ones of us that actually belong here, the scions of old /a/ and further). Once you grow older, everything changes, sometimes imperceptibly. We just can't change how we feel.

b) We've exhausted 30+ years of otaku content by discussing it all to death. Nothing new comes out that comes out fast enough or is not derivative bullshit, like kancolle or other online trash stuff. Even if something big comes out, it's not a niche thing anymore: it's emblazoned on every newfriend anime-suki/CrunchyRoll/faggy merchandising site in existence. It's never ours. And it never will be. It's instantly soiled by the emergent newfriendia.

c) The newfriends will not adapt. They have no reason to. Old 4chan esoterica and rules of conduct are dead. They will never return. It's like an age of unchivalry that's been replaced by the idiocy of infinite summer. The younger generation is, for a lack of a better term, "retarded." This is a death sentence for a declining population of old guard that haven't already left. And the newfriends are growing tired of shitting in their own drinking water. Newer, greener pastures to pollute.

We can never go back. Terminal end, full stop.

Janitors have assigned boards. Moderators are global, but in practice they have boards they like and take care of more than others.

>I get the feeling the post AWA moderators have all been awful
The only real change i've felt in moderation over the last two years, other than a massive step-up in quantity sometime last year, is that they started banning all shitfests. (The big changes to moderation, like "ban all meta" and "ban all off-topic" happened before that).

>>12940959
The ghost archive used to be a normal board for discussion of /jp/ and /jp/ things, basically /jp/ but with more meta and slightly crankier.

For various reasons, it eventually became a place for /b/-tier posters and permanently banned attention whores to plan wars against 4chan staff and spam stupid shit. None of them have any relation to old /jp/.

>>12941015
>We've exhausted 30+ years of otaku content by discussing it all to death. Nothing new comes out that comes out fast enough
There's still lots of shit to talk about. It's just that nobody cares enough to talk about it in /jp/. AA took /jp/ by storm but AA2 was not even a drop in the bucket, and it's not because people got bored of jacking off. It's because nobody cared, or if they did, they were caring about it in /vg/.

It's not like Touhou doujinshi is of massively higher caliber than Kancolle doujinshi anyway - although since nobody these days gives a shit about either it's pretty much a moot point.

Agreed. Senshinkan and Hello Lady spawned lots of discussion in the VN general too, but it's all contained. You won't get those endless Baldr Sky or Eushully threads like before because they're all condensed and a huge amount of people left.

With the old guard leaving in droves, you lack the accompanying things that keep rather niche topics like AA going: the people willing to create content and share it. There are other places for that, now, whereas you used to find the best stuff with things like anon translations being posted right to the thread.

There are topics not discussed, but with the banning of everything old /jp/ by moot's new generation of shitty mods, and the elimination of janitors who did their work but were not supported (they eliminated Sudo-quality posting, but nothing was done to permanently eliminate them, because nobody cared about /jp/ or its janitors), we are left with so few topics we're able to "officially" discuss.

You have newfriends running off all old /jp/ topics because they have no emotional or intellectual investment in them so that they can post about whatever trite shit they want to that probably does belong on another board, and that's the limit of new posting.

Occasionally there is a decent thread that starts up, but it dies, specifically because there are simply not enough people left that actually belong here to discuss it. Because they've already moved on.

This is the death spiral we were calling it.

>You won't get those endless Baldr Sky or Eushully threads like before because they're all condensed and a huge amount of people left.

The big thing is "a huge amount of people left" and simply aren't coming back. And we don't want any of the newfriends that would replace them. So, good game.

I think the part that I knew /jp/ was officially fucked was when mods that largely hung around places like /sp/, and had no idea what /jp/ actually is or does, were coming in and telling us what we "could and couldn't do," and banning people for shit reasons.

You have a mod team that is inviting the disenfranchisement of its community, refuses to fix easy shit, refuses to ban habitual shitters, and expect everything not to implode.

It's not niche. /vg/ had endless discussion about it. The real problem is that nobody wants to create content and share it in a fucking shithole, which is what /jp/ became.

>with the banning of everything old /jp/ by moot's new generation of shitty mods
Thank god someone finally put Japanese bird out of its misery. Most of those threads were awkward combinations of shitposter parade and people halfheartedly being nostalgic for remember-when-/jp/-wasn't-shit-yeah-me-too-nah-/jp/-was-always-shit-yeah-but-it-wasn't-this-shit days.

Oh, come the fuck on. Back when the lot of you newfriends - sorry, "board pioneers" - were getting started it's not like full half of you weren't retards too. New posters can be made into good posters if the culture supports it. The problem isn't that this generation's new posters are inherently shittier, it's that the culture drowned in shit and nobody cares enough to start it up again because nobody gives a shit about the community anymore - there isn't one.

y'know guys
I have to admire, I'm newfag here. I've been into Japanese culture for 6 years. 4 years ago I've stopped being a attention weeaboo trash and discovered international communities. Short after this I've joined /a/, but I couldn't really adaptive to this place. Then I've discovered deeper J-popculture. 2hu, then doujin ongaku, then j-core. I'm lurking this board for about 2 years. In that time I've been posting just about 20 times. I don't know names of the most of 2hus, I feel that I just don't need to. I know the basics about plot and that's enough to listen to good music, watch nice arts and generally have fun of it. I don't own figurines, but I always like to see what's actually in stock and what the most of you desire. I've played only 2 rhytm games in my life for seriously, and I don't know even a little shit about BABYMETAL or AKB48. Comiket/Reitaisai/M3 threads are the only one where I can say something.
What you know what? This is the only place related to me interests where I feel well. I feel warmth of the your empathy and understanding. Next to places like wizardchan, /jp/ is the only community that stays really tolerant and where you won't except someone saying about fucking your mother. However, here ppl are a bit more interesting, not just wasting their all time on nothing.
I'm not like you. I'm not even 20. But I feel good there and I know that I will stay there. Even if the best years of this place passed irrevocably (tell me if there's a place where they doesn't), I know that I've found my refuge.

The board doesn't support it (there's not enough of us left to bother trying to deal with the idiocy), and the newfriends that you face these days simply aren't the same stock of yesteryears. They're the anime-suki generation, or worse, the smartphone retard generation, which has no exposure whatsoever to the real culture that /jp/ was born from. They're like day traders that do nothing but shit up the stock market. When 4chan went public at moot's behest, becoming an international "icon" instead of the interesting shithole of the internet that was at least a step up from SA, you brought in the most casual retards you can imagine. And if we tell them to fuck off using the only ways we can, we get threatened with being banned. If we do anything marginally un-SJW, especially with the Rapelay incident as an example, the mods and moot reflexively kowtow and make SWEEPING changes to prevent it from causing them social points so they can increase 4chan stock.

The future of the internet is in the jewish MangaGamer ilk that have taken over everything, and have co-opted the older bastions like 4chan to their twisted designs. We now have gatekeepers, and the ones that flock to the gatekeepers are the very newfriends you think we can train.

>Back when the lot of you newfriends - sorry, "board pioneers" - were getting started it's not like full half of you weren't retards too.

The ones who founded /jp/ were veterans of /a/ or back when /b/ was still Anime/Random. It was also the naive years where everything everywhere was exceedingly fresh. If you even look at otaku culture in Japan these days, it's stagnant. The generation over there that grew up with us is ending, and the one before it is long gone. In some ways, we're just a mirror of that own stagnation.

I really miss 2005-2007 4chan

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but everything feels so crowded and overdone and watered down nowadays

I haven't really felt like part of a real community since back then

I miss sitting in front of my computer just discussing shit and laughing my ass off for hours at a time. Shit, it's hard to believe that there was really a time when no one had to cringe at the sight of the word "meme"

I really think the golden age of the internet came and went. It feels good having witnessed it, but I feel so bad because it's not coming back

If any of you were around at that time and you feel as I feel and you know exactly what I'm talking about: I miss you

It was a fucking blast, and I'll always feel like a little part of me is missing

I don't think this is accurate. The new posters are probably no more retarded than old ones. It's just like you said, though, the years go by and people get bored of the whole thing. Something that'd pass as hilarious for you back then would be considered retarded by you if it showed up now.

Are you still angry that the "who are you quoting shit" got canned? Yeah, at some point, telling people to fuck off openly got banned, but that was only after years of suffering in a condition where 99% of the people telling other people to fuck off were themselves retards, so they threw out the baby with the bathwater. But at that time the baby was already dead so who the fuck cares.

The rise of unironic moralfriends. It's amazing, seeing the gentrification and SJWing of every board. They try to ban anything seen is "ew" in the western world (despite the western world being a crapsack of amorality), but Japan still has all kinds of crazy shit that they put out.

So, the solution is to go after Japan itself. And then the only bits of 4chan that are still important end. And moot cheered it on, despite the fact that created numerous porn boards that catered to non-SJW interests (which would explain why he wanted to restart 4chan as something else entirely, instead of initially trying to merchandise 4chan itself, since too much baggage for SJW jewish overlords).

That's one way of looking at it, but I'd say the results indicate that the smart phone generation is infinitely less intelligent than ours, just as ours is less intelligent than the generation that preceded us (which would be the techies from the 80s that were getting shit done and writing fucking stupid injokes before the Internet was even a commercial viability).

The real loss is that "meme" has become its own sort of god: it's fallen into that horrible pit of self-referentialism. #hashtag shit, etc. "Black culture" techy shit that even black people in their thirties that I've talked to say is fucking stupid and embarrassing. And it all flows to 4chan.

I'd almost welcome back the "OMG KAWWAII" crowd just to rid 4chan of "irony."

Everything? Even Japanese otaku culture has become self-referential, merchandised dickcheese. Those still left that see the difference lament it. It might be inevitable, but it's not unlamentable. It wasn't nonexistent in 2007, but with the breakdown of Japanese cultural isolation and Japan becoming A SUPER BIG THING on the international scene due to Amerifriend shitstains derping it up for cameras, and some sort of zany Japanese thing appearing in the news every few days for years, Japanese culture has become even more paranoid of being judged internationally.

/jp/ is about Japanese stuff, specifically otaku stuff and related areas. It is not about being Japanese, or food, or any of the other shit that has nothing to do with the reason /jp/ exists.

Those stuff aren't gone. Just hidden from view. You'll actually need to put in a bit of effort now to swim against the tide of shit. Your observation of of Japanese culture getting "globalized" is not without merit, though. It's pretty obvious, what with the internationalization of some notable figures like Miku.

Hidden from view, if you're not a part of the Japanese communities involved, is the same as gone. Even in Japan itself, they're cracking down on anything that might cause them international admonishment. If you have specific interests (and I'm not talking junior idols or 3D stuff), it's in danger of being "gone."

Those who can pass as Japanese enough on the Internet are not going to care about /jp/ in the first place, unless they are the ones finding/providing content.

No one is creating "epic memes", most people who actually cared about otaku culture left or isolated themselves in generals (I know a few people who only post in VN general and despite the rest of /jp/), and the blank space is filled by the warosu idiots. Sorry, Eksopl, it's not exactly a matter of "ゆく川の流れは絶えずして", but a dead community, where both sides left, and a janitor that strictly enforces every possible rule, denying both people who want to create on-topic and off-topic "epic memes", which results in a shadow of it's former self. No matter how shitty it was.

Long posts are necessary to convey things that are complex topics. Also, stop enjoying things. This is /jp/ We don't enjoy things.

You spend more time bitching about how rape games are banned than actually going out and playing the immense quantity of rape games that are available to any retard with an internet connection. Typical of someone who gives way more of a shit about the concept of otaku culture than the culture itself.

In internet years, we're all seventy.

I still remember getting my hands on Opera 5 and suddenly not having to constantly fight with the browser and crappy pages. I remember discovering that promising new site called Google that made finding things on the internet so much easier. I remember pirating music from Audiogalaxy, downloading low-quality cartoon porn from shitty galleries of randomly assembled pictures. I remember finding 4chan back in 2004 and immediately leaving not to return for two more years because of how crude, impenetrable and pointless it looked. I only joined the internet halfway through, and all those things are already several generations in the past.

Wow, I really went off-topic, but not like this thread's topic is worth sticking to in the first place.

Mainstream isn't the same as "merchandised to oblivion under a rigid set of economic conditions that forbid any bucking of tradition." It's like what happens to anything, it eventually becomes the middlemen who run the show, when they were only there to provide somewhat marginal utility. Doujin works become verboten, you copyright everything, and you wonder why creativity is dead. You run out of places to steal ideas from. The same thing is AAA gaming, but the way the Japanese do it is even more painful.

As far as I can tell, your points were that

1. moot's sweeping changes ruined 4chan forever (but you won't deign to mention what they were), and
2. Western attention to Japanese culture has made it so that Japanese circles won't make controversial games anymore (which is empirically false).

Most people don't criticize the quoting function because of that, but because it's a way to make crossboarders to fuck off. And if you think this board isn't ridden by crossboarders at this point, sorry. I understand the idea behind, but if our dear White Ren is spot-on at something, it's that the "/jp/ culture" won't return. If it gets better, it will be as a different board, with different users. Also please if you're that guy who threw a fit on the VN general because of it, stop.

All of these nostalgia threads are always depressing for me-- not because of what I lost, but because I was never a part of it in the first place.

Since moot's retirement, people have been reminiscing about the "golden ages" of 4chan, which is approximately 2005-2007 or so. It was really interesting to scroll through all of these posts and be amazed at what people remember and the changes they perceive in board culture over time.

If I just began lurking 4chan a year or two earlier, I could have been part of something special. But then again, it's all wishful thinking: I started lurking /a/ in 2008 and I hardly remember a thing about it. Even if I started in 2005, I think I wouldn't recall anything regardless; I always had a narrow minded focus on my interests.

I started lurking /jp/ about a year ago, and it doesn't seem all that bad since I don't have anything else to compare it with. It's a rather relaxing board, though I wish there was more discussion about Touhou doujinshi, 4koma, and games. I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't civil, but there probably aren't enough people on /jp/ to argue with anyway.

I think /jp/ is heading in a good direction, regardless. It's kind of like having a skype friend with similar interests living in a different timezone. You talk when you want to, you send each other images and links then head to bed waiting for a response tomorrow, you can discuss any Japanese stuff you want and maybe a little personal life mixed in, you play games together, ect. It'll be just like having a close friend who you can speak to at anytime about anything, but you just never meet IRL. Every time you send a message before heading to bed, you know there will always be a reply in the morning.

I'd imagine /jp/ would be a lot like having real friends, but with a lot more "does this bra make my chest look feminine?", "Which 2hu wud u love passionately?, "The best time of the day has flanally come", and generally blatant tadaima/okaeri posts.

The 'golden age' is a myth, at least in regards to /jp/. There's an image floating around that details all the bullshit we've put up with over the years and very little of it was enjoyable.

There was that image floating around (assuming we're thinking about the same one, with front page of /jp/ throughout time) and I was always puzzled when I looked at it because I don't really remember half of what it depicted and never thought the other half mattered, you just skimmed over it on your way to more interesting threads.

Then there was less and less of those and finally, somewhere in the late 2011, there was nothing but shit. And the image wasn't being updated anymore, because, like almost everyone creating something for the board, its author left or stopped caring.

Needless to say, I find this "look at the bullshit that was always happening here" mentality extremely disingenuous. The board's not defined by its low points, nor is it by the average. I am enjoying the lack of spam and penises as much as everyone else, but let's not pretend there isn't something missing. (Even if I consider the possibility that what's missing is my ability to be easily amused.)

Everybody left. Chaos finished its course. The experiment ended.

Which is quite sad, but sort of inevitable.

>Anonymous of Alabama, you were always a terrible tripfag, and it's amazing how long you've kept the trip despite being hated.

Thanks, I think I'm a pretty terrible tripfriend, too. But at least I'm consistent. And a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

And why would I change a tripcode if I'm hated? I'd still be the same person you hate, you just wouldn't know that you should ignore me if you don't like me. If nothing else, I'm doing you a favor.

>That you think otaku culture has been exhausted just shows you're a fuggen casual who probably doesn't know any Japanese. Complaining about newfags while taking up the newfag paranoia regarding "SJWs", is sad as fuck. That you think that stuff matters here at all just shows you're totally disconnected from the culture, and belong somewhere else, like /v/ or /pol/.

No, it's more like the board is empty because everyone who liked making OC has left. You're just keeping up the normal state of the board, which is not as good as in the first years, but not as bad as the last years. Just be glad you weren't around in 2011.

The board was originally created to segregate all "insufficiently anime" content that was on old /a/, like Touhou, visual novels, etc. moot thought that by doing so, he could force all of the old crew into one board, thereby reducing resistance to monetization of /a/ anime stuff in the period following after.

moot failed to attract investors or make money off of merchandising/ad revenuing the gaia generation, and the old /a/ crew ended up liking /jp/. moot was co-opted by other, similarly shitty websites like CrunchyRoll.

/a/ descended into absolute shit, much like /v/ would do, and /jp/, for a time, was a rank paradise. moot, as always, declared victory, and did his best to ensure, step by step, that nobody would be happy.

I don't know why so many people ever disliked him to be honest.

I remember everyone screaming that he was a jew after the 4chan passes, and it never made sense because you could clearly see him writing that he was doing it as an alternative to accepting donations for nothing. It seemed perfectly reasonable to me

You could be right for all I know, but I just know that a lot of those decisions make perfect logical sense. I already said why the passes made sense, and the captcha's were obviously necessary

Most of the people who always opposed him never made very coherent arguments or offer alternatives ideas to what they were complaining about.
I just stayed in the middle because I always just thought maybe I'm not understanding something because it never made sense to me

Because those soft-hearted faggots try to maintain the status co.

And there's a better solution:
Smart moderation team who deletes spams and spams only, and nothing else.

Less shit for them to think about it, if shit's repeated enough and the posts have the same structure, it's clearly spam hence need for deletion.

And that's it, no need for captcha, passes or anything, and these jans can do it for free instead of actually deleting individual posts for no reason.

Well, you're right. Technically it's moderation outsourcing most of the moderation to the users.

The fact is that self-moderation, on it's own, can't kick out cabals of attention whores who do not give a shit about the board and are just here to make the whole place look like their own personal IRC room, because attacking them and spamming at them only makes them laugh (and ignoring them only makes them continue to do what they were doing before).

Well then have a nice stay in /a/. For me, I can't go on /a/, or other boards outside /jp/. I got so used to the atmosphere here that other boards just feel very unfomfortable to be in since they are so different. It's weird, I was on /ck/ a few weeks ago and was apalled at the agressive tone and atmosphere.
But I don't dislike being here, it's nice, a bit sad sometimes but this place is my second home.

I went back to /a/ (because it seems I've got nothing left to discuss here anymore, I only keep the VN thread tab open).
It was hard at first, but I ignored the underaged posting and meme garbage, and focused on discussing anime and manga, and it was fine.

He did really get into the whole idol thing for a while but never ditched his other interests. Given that a lot of the old tripfags quit in 2011, that's a longer /jp/ run than most of them now - he finally stopped posting six months ago.

He seemed to spend more time actually talking about things, and less time screaming at other posters over irrelevant stupid shit. What a hero.

I never really realized how much this place changed until now.

I'm also really surprised now it's being mentioned many trips are long gone, and I just didn't pay enough attention.

This has also being the best meta thread since before /q/

Which makes me realize:
Is it too late now? Its obvious we, the remaining members, are too alienated to continue, now "/jp true essence" is but a hazy memory.
Yet if we were to leave its carcass would be immediately defiled by outsiders.
You know, I can't take it easy like this.

It is too late. Whether we stay here and try to return to how it used to be or go to another site and try to remake the old /jp/ there it won't succeed. Instead of trying to go back to how it used to be I think we should try to make the best out of the current situation. Even if it's different, even if it's not exactly what we want, I believe it's not too late to make /jp/ a good board. I think being less strict with what's allowed on the board is a good first step. Mods, please.

Hard to explain, actually felt like a community
If you are the same anon from before, I'm afraid you are far too into the 2010 mentality which killed the place.

It's not tour fault really, just keep in mind "funposting" was a defense measure and not board culture onto itself.
Funny actually since ever since it permeated all of 4chan for better or worse, yet at those times /jp was the worst board for most people on the site, and so foreigner to them it just made people uncomfortable.
They tried to change this place onto "zany quirky japan xD" as well, and /trap/ central too as a reaction tho the otherness of our board.
Needless to say, it didn't work.

Says, longing for its past will be futile.
Communities come and go, and although at first moving will be tempting, history has proven its just a temporary solution.
See all kinds of spinoff chans which appeared after every major incident of the site.
7chan, Desuchan, iichan, and more close to our situation, Tohno and /bun/ comes to mind.
A couple of years ago you could argue that post rate was fine, if slow.
Nowdays though? They are dead.

If we were to move again, the population split would kill the remaining community.
I'm not really advising to stay either, as I can't personally make sure things will ever be alright again.

But trying to make the best of our situation is still an option.

Normalfags are attracted to other normalfags, so the chances are that once 4chan isn't in the spotlight anymore they'll get bored and go back to whatever echo-chamber they originally came from, or to some other new and exciting thing for them to fuck up. Either way they'll be the first ones to leave.

Furthermore the core structure of 4chan comes at odds with their ideals. As long as the site as the core structure of the site remains intact it will slowly revert to it's natural state.

Groups like tumblr and SJW have no interest in controlling 4chan, they simply want to destroy it.

Not sure if you're still here, but I think /jp/ has been slowly improving these days. WIth moot leaving it may mean people will decide to go back to whatever place they used to belong, like someone here mentioned. The "good old days" can't be recovered, but then, there's hope for a new community, I agree with you. But I must say I pretty much have no motivation to try and make the board better. And I really, I don't know why, aside of upholding quality in the few threads I frequent. There's the possibility of making more threads that aren't generals but those tend to die fast.

that's just an illusion created by the number of sub-communities that keep being directed here.
between them the void becomes bigger and bigger since the shitposters from the past are starting to get bored and the new ones with their pronged greentext are able to exist only reacting and without taking initiative.
