Anytime you do something with "/jp/" it's always the outgoing visitors from off board who are actually taking part. The lonely reserved autists are rarely the people who you'll run into doing anything that's not right here.

That's actually a really good idea. I'm trying to figure out why I hadn't done that already... there must be something wrong with that idea, or it would have occurred to me before.

Well in my case, I only browse /jp/ when I don't feel like doing anything else. If I were board, I'd read some eroge or dig into my massive manga backlog.

Slow boards are the best because I can type up super long replies and have proper discussions. Sometimes. I can't stand it when a thread is deleted after I type up a ten paragraph essay though.

Also I don't have to feel guilty for going beyond the third page. I really don't get why moot even increased the number of pages when none of the other boards (to my knowledge) even use them. Even on /jp/ 160 threads is probably too much.

>> No.8363677

>>8363668
I tried using them on other boards but usually they move so fast you have the same threads you were looking at one page before.

What boredom? I have plenty to do between my /jp/ hobbies, reading threads, and posting in them. These past few days in particular have been especially entertaining. I find myself spending my days on /jp/, refreshing and posting in threads. They seem to fly by, especially when you don't sleep.

>> No.8363682

Find a few interesting threads, open them all in tabs, reply, play Touhou for a bit, come back and refresh all your tabs. Best way to live.

When discussion comes to a halt or /jp/ is being flooded, I just check my other primary boards, /p/ and /ck/. Between those three I never get bored. The three boards I browse aren't exactly fast but I never did have a problem with doing nothing while waiting for anything.

I don't believe this.

It's partly them, and partly you find that /jp/ isn't all it's cracked up to be when you take away its anonymity.

That's true, but I do find it faster than searching through pages. I feel sort of icky if I come to depend on the Catalog or archive.

It's natural to assume those you run into will be the most outgoing and normal of our lot. The more desirable posters, the ones you would actually want to run into, tend to avoid such things making the search rather pointless.

Though I do not disagree with your point.

>> No.8363702

>>8363698
Honestly though, that's just baseless assumptions.

>> No.8363707

>>8363702
How is it baseless? The kind of /jp/er deeply afraid of social contact, or at least dismissive of it, wouldn't go out of their way to join off-board things like Hotglue guilds.

>> No.8363713

>>8363702
It is an assumption, but I wouldn't call it baseless. Would not the most social of our group, gravitate towards more social environments?

The worst socially adjusted posters are simply harder to round up.

I honestly think the people who parrot memes back and forth in Omegle are the same people who make interesting posts on /jp/. They just don't know what to say in a foreign situation.

I truly hope this is not the case. For I had thought better of my fellow posters. Then again unreasonably high standards is not something unknown to me.

I meant to say that the idea that introverted, socially maladjusted users are somehow in an upper, "desirable" echelon of posters is baseless and silly, but I conveyed it in a retarded way.

Being a kuudere online is just being a boring "nice guy", not a VIP QUALITY poster.

I remember some threads where some guys suggested renting/buying a warehouse and moving in. Anything came out of that plan or did they just end up arguing about their waifus?

>> No.8363773

>>8363767
The plan was to use the warehouse to make VNs, and then it shifted to just translating them. It fell apart after they realized no one had the money to start the project.

The threads being about rape and starving to death didn't help it's case

You'd be surprised.

Personally, I'd go for something less ambitious. Couple of /jp/ers sharing an apartment or something. See how that works out. However you won't find anyone willing to do even that, many opting to go homeless over it even.

Like we'd need internet. Just have someone make weekly runs to the nearest wi-fi point and download our media. Handle /jp/ the same way people handled Usenet (and rms handles mail)--scrape all the posts and read them offline. Type up responses to be sent at the next weekly internet run. If the thread isn't still around by then, it wasn't a worthwhile thread to begin with.
