my first time here was when moot made a sticky about this board getting a name change. i've been here since ever since then, yeah. your stories anonymous?

Honestly, not much has changed. The only thing I can really say for sure has changed is the fact that the toohoo tripfags have been replaced with friendcircle, "/jp/ GODS" is now replaced with the "why is /jp/ so shitty" KoG thing, and "reported" and "autism" seem to be things accepted here as of the last couple of months. Idols still get discussed, dolls still get posted, toohoos are always sexualized and despite what anyone tells you, /jp/ will ALWAYS be Japan/General. Even if moot made the name change to make us all realize how small time we all really were, which we are, things have really never actually changed since the creation of /jp/.

Wait /jp/ is that young? I've been here for about a year now, but I've only been actively posting for maybe 6-7 months.

I'm somehow less of a newfag than I though.

Anyway, /jp/ was my first 4chan board I ever frequented, and that pretty much remains the same. I've been into Touhou for about as long as /jp/ has existed though, if not a bit longer than that. I couldn't help but find that kinda funny.

>> No.6008966

I've been here since day one. /jp/ has stayed pretty much the same but /a/ sure has gotten a lot worse without it. you see 100+ reply big 3 threads pretty much every day now. sometimes I'll go there wanting to talk about a show I'm watching and when I see that I just feel disgusted.

Can't say that /jp/ change much besides the spam changing from hoop dog to japanese bird and then to saten.

I really have no idea why I find Touhou so interesting. Unlike the majority of the people here, I actually play the games and don't read the doujins. New translated VN only come out like once every few months but I still find myself coming back here everyday even though I have nothing to say.

>> No.6010029

>>6009998
>>6009998
Yeah, with all the hate on secondary fans on /jp/ there is barely any discussion about the games except when a new game comes out. And even then, no one's talking about Fairy Wars anymore either.
Though I do almost exclusively fap to Touhou and listen to some of the music.

>> No.6010055

And you know what is ironic, I probably watch more anime than majority of /a/ lurkers and yet I never go there after the split.
The speed of /a/ just doesn't make it possible to have any good anime thread going unless you watch it live or have anons backing you up bumping the thread ever 5minutes.
I rather go to /bun/ to talk about it.

Even though /a/ was never good, it is pretty sad to see the current state of the board now.

>> No.6010057

Since its creation or maybe a week later. I remember having a few issues around that time.

I've been here on and off since the beginning.

Stopped coming here though for a few months, mostly because I just wanted to talk about VNs and /jp/ was nothing but Touhou threads for 10 pages. /a/ gradually became shittier and shittier and I started going less and less frequently over there until about a year ago where I just stopped bothering to even go there.

It encourages self important blogging thread about NEET lifestyle and also brought in the OTAKU SO COOL crowd from /a/ which incidentally blurred the line between /a/ and /jp/ and gave rise to the white ren legion reporting crew.
It wasn't that bad before and if easymodo keep tracks of reported post I am sure, the number of reports have risen.
