Before the newfag flood of Bleach and Naruto hits, I'd like to reveal the truth behind the /a/-/jp/ split and the perceived differences between then and now.

The Bleach and Naruto threads have always been on /a/, and have always gotten the same amount of posts as they do now (well, I suppose there's more now, because of the sages). While the /a/ populus has hated Bleach and Naruto ever since it turned into generic powerlevels, newfags come in to /a/ to talk about it.

Now, contrary to popular belief, the Naruto/Bleachfags that show up on /a/ aren't from Gaia, GameFAQs, Animesuki, or any other shitsux animu forum. Why would they need to come here for Naruto/Bleach threads when there's plenty on their home site? These particular fags are from 4chan. Naruto and Beach are pretty fucking popular, so there's plenty of fags from /b/, /co/, /v/, and other boards that have a "mild interest in anime"(read: read the new narutu chapter every week). Proof: They don't realize they're newfags, cause they've been on some other board on 4chan for a long time. They decide they want to talk about their crappy animu, come to /a/, and look for a thread relevant to their (newfaggy) interests. If they don't find one, they make one.

The difference that the split made in this regard affected only the speed and activity of the board. There'd often be 3 pages worth of active threads, and thus low-powerlevel fags from other boards could have their shit threads and spam F5, whereas high-powerlevel /a/ fags could stick to their threads (that were ignored by the newfags, since they didn't know whatthefuck it was.)

Now that /a/ has become two boards, the number of active threads has decreased, and thus the activity of newfag threads has become much more apparent. My solution? Leave them be, hide the thread, and go make some high-powerlevel thread. They won't understand it, so they'll just ignore it.

In case any /jp/friends missed it due to battering down the hatches and closing the /a/ tab before the Bleach/Naruto storm, I figured I'd post it on /jp/ too.

Troll, 'newfag' and dumbass rolled all into one.

Just fucking leave.

/a/ has been unsalvagable for a long time.
I don't really think /jp/ cares about the drama anymore. Too torn apart over the rampant touhou hate that sprung up overnight.

>> No.538289

I'm so sick of these Touhou threads.

And I don't mean sick as in rage, just sick as in I find them really inane and uninteresting.

Shit was funny at first, but it's really gotten stale as of late. Always the same lame memes being posted nonstop by the same mentally-challenged faggots.

This is Japan/General for christsakes. Isn't there anything other than this obscure otaku fringe bullshit worth posting about?

Well, I'm mostly just here for the Melty Blood threads nowadays...

/jp/ got shittier recently, the trolling increased a lot too.

You could have been going to 4chan for three years, but that doesn't mean you can't be a newfag to a board you rarely visit.

That's the point.

Are there actually real people hating on Touhou? I've been assuming it's one or two trolls and some faggot mod, just because it doesn't make sense for the board as a whole to have gone from love to hate overnight the way it's supposed to have.

It's popular to hate things that are popular.
