Sup, enthusiasts of Japan.

Boot up ms paint, because it's time to make some banners to best represent your beloved board.

Rules:
>Must be inspired by and related to the board that we're accepting submissions for that week.
>Must contain the full board name (e.g., /a/ - Anime & Manga).
>Note that these banners will be in a global rotation, so banners should be suitable for the entire site, and worksafe.
>Image dimensions must be exactly 468x60. JPG, PNG, and GIF accepted. Animated GIFs are allowed. Filesize should be less than 150KB.

Use this thread to discuss ideas, post creations, and etc etc...

Likely even older posts can be found on different archives.

Not even 2/3rds of the threads that are otherwise accepted by the community are that old. Not to mention the fact that most of those threads, or memes, don't have anywhere near the longevity of Elona; we're a part of /jp/, second only to 2hu.

Yeah well idol threads have been around since the board was created.

It was originally just an H!P thread although half of the posts in them were arguments between AKB and H!P fans so the split into multiple threads was inevitable.

In any case I don't understand why people don't just ignore threads they dislike. Hide them even. The generals are fairly insular anyway. I'll take ten more of them over the return of bawson and daily dose threads.

They're posted and replied to by members of /jp/ and not by people who are only here for x-general, and never interact with the rest of the board because they "are fairly insular".

The problem with generals is not being off topic or a thread made twice about something, but about them trying to be their own little board-within-a-board. They neither contribute to the board they're on and will report/shun any board members who invade their safe space.
The topic itself, in the case of idols, isn't the problem, although there are way too many. "General" threads are supposed to be" general." Making a general for each subset of idols isn't very general, now is it? Condense your threads, like that one guy said.

Idols may be a big part of otaku culture, but so are a lot of other things like anime and video games. I don't see any of these being moved to /jp/ just for that reason alone, why should idol generals then? The idol threads being posted here are mostly the musical performers kind, so why can't they be made in /mu/ instead? They already have things like jpop and kpop generals, it would seem like a far more relevant board than the jay. Elona and kancolle are video game generals and therefore should go to /vg/. Monster Girl shit is 100% /d/ material. JAV is just plain porn and should fuck off to /hc/ or something

As someone has already said, these generals are fairly insular. I'm thinking they probably meant this in a good way but the truth is, they don't mingle with the rest of /jp/ and therefore contribute nothing to the board as a whole. Instead, they mostly keep to themselves and it is rather obvious that they don't even belong here and that the only thing keeping them here at all is their general, which should have been made elsewhere in the first place.

As for why I'm not just ignoring generals, because no amount of filtering, hiding and pretending you don't exist will change the fact that you occupy 10, 20 threads of the board at all times. It also doesn't help that you reach post limit rather quickly for a slow board like /jp/ and have to keep making new threads on a regular basis, pushing the actually board-relevant ones to an early pruning as a result. Your existence alone is kind of a nuisance for the other threads.

And for the record, I agree with you on the meme threads thing. I don't think they belong either, but just because somebody makes them doesn't give you an excuse to post other irrelevant shit

You confuse video game *generals* that are constantly made one after the other for the sake itself of making the general and continuing the previous thread, even though no interesting discussion warrants it, with video game *threads* that are created for fun and because someone had a particular subject in mind that he wanted to discuss.

Doujin games absolutely do belong here but personally, my main problem with Elona is that they're (you're?) deliberately making them into shitty generals. There's a containment board that exists for this exact thing for a reason. I would say im@s and rance threads are doing it right. The occasional threads we get from them are all very nice

So what are you saying with that post? That general posters are incapable of thinking outside their generals and integrating?

>>15611859
Explain how they could make a thread about Elona without it being a general, but be able to discuss it beyond the thread they made dying. The game is still being developed, and people are still playing it. It's not like some VN from 5 or 10 years ago that everyone already finished playing or some nebulous idea that could be fucking anything. They don't seem to be using it as a hangout for off topic discussion either.

>(you're?)
I don't post in them because I stopped playing Elona, since I'm not autistic enough for it and also that I feel once a game leaves its creator's hands, it gets progressively ruined, like with Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Violated Heroine.

Are you going to complain the Comiket upload/discussion threads are generals when they get continuously made for a while during and after it? Are you okay with the they're the Kig, Doll, Fumo, or Yukkuri threads even though they're full of rp and degenerate stuff like that? With the Flanfly general?

Personally, I don't think so, either. But when you love something, and are very emotionally-attached to it, you try to protect it. And to do that, you have to think of all the possible things that could happen to it, make worst and best case scenarios, all that jazz. I'd personally say that this is what's happening here, and that anons are concerned that the worst case scenario is really, really bad for the board's future. I mean yeah, a worst case scenario is just that, a worst case scenario, the most unlikely negative thing that could happen; but that does not mean it's impossible.
Or maybe I'm thinking too much into a simple thing, and anons are blowing it out of proportion. You be the judge of it.

Alright, since I finally won a pass the previous week, I'm in the awkward position of having to vote for a board I've never visited in my life prior to today. Since I'm still salty about /f/'s first place (spoilers: I submitted the runner up, losing by only 1 vote) - I'll let you decide what I vote for.

Here's my shortlist of 14 banners. Keep in mind that number 10 is never going to win, due to virtually the same banner being submitted 4 times. Also, if the one after number 12 didn't have that small floating head and would have looped just a tiny bit better, I would have voted for that one without even asking anyone.

Once you vote, can you see the current standings? If they do show up it would be great if you could tell us how things are going.

Alright, 24 hours later - thank you to everyone who gave feedback. It is much appreciated!
It seems the board is heavily leaning towards both number 1 and 8. So I'll definitely vote for one of the two. I hope for you, a /jp/-approved banner wins :-)

>>15619045
I just voted for a different board - they don't show us the standings. You click the button, then it turns into a "Confirm" button. You click again and it turns into a greyed-out "Voted" button. Sadly, that's all that's happening.

What does the quality of a banner have to do with how "hardcore" the community is? The threads have plenty of casuals, but it's not like there aren't people who don't know what they're talking about.

It kinda sucks that there's only one winning banner, they should use the top 3 or something. There's a lot of good submissions and it feels a waste to only use one. Plus sometimes the one with the most votes is shit, like the /f/ one

>> No.15634539

so much for thinking we all just vote freely and they count the highest vote

>> No.15634555

>>15634521
That would be nice, maybe like the top three could be used by the first one/highest using an email would win a pass. I'm really surprised the lolicatgirls banner didn't win though. Isn't that a staple of /f/ culture? I don't know, I only went there a handful of times a few years ago. But it lost by a single vote so I guess there's that. Would have been nice if the Miracle Hinacle votes got merged into the final banner, since that would have won.

I'm kind of glad I don't have a pass or it would have been really hard to pick one though it's weird that the Sachiko one didn't get a single vote, I thought that by this time some other board would have stolen the whole joke and it'd be more popular outside of /jp/.
In any case the winner is pretty good!
