Pretty much. Most /jp/sies don't read light novels. I saw one the other day but it barely got any replies. To quote one faggot anon, "/jp/ is otaku rehab". Someone the other day was bitching because people were posting fanart that was vectorized. It's silly but that's autism for ya.

I can't tell if that guy tries to be ironic or not. One would think that if you don't read LN's , you wouldn't be in those threads.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,12
>One would think that if you don't read LN's , you wouldn't be in those threads.
In the same way, one would think that if you don't read LN's, you wouldn't be brainlessly dumping "hot 2D girls" from booru with equally brainless booru tier comments.

>>9682358,3
>Are light novel threads still nonexistent in /jp/?
People who genuinely have something interesting to say or discuss about LNs have no problems doing so.
Light Novels were never a very popular subject, so no, a 2D dump disguised as an LN thread getting more replies doesn't mean it is better than a normal LN thread.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,13
Image dumps are not rule breaking, if that is what you are assuming.

By the way, do you read light novels?

>Image dumps are not rule breaking
"why not read a REAL book/light novel instead?" posts aren't rule breaking either.
It's about quality. Some people prefer posting youtube quality one-liners to the actual discussion for example. Fortunately, they are slowly getting weeded out (read, permabanned).

By the way, what's the deal with Zunbar Defense Force (you) constantly shitting up /jp/ and even /ghost/?

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>9682358,15
>>"why not read a REAL book/light novel instead?" posts aren't rule breaking either.

You're the weirdest crazy guy I've ever seen on the 'net, /v/-kun.

Anyways, those types of posts are called troll posts. That kind of trolling usually leaked in from /a/, because they got that whole "your favorite series is shit, why not watch a REAL cartoon instead?" hivemind trolling thing going on over there. It's not quality reading despite what you may think.

Also I'm done with 4chan, so you should probably stop from randomly mentioning my name already. All people who point out your stupidity are not doing it in my defense. Yes, there really are some people on /jp/ and /ghost/ who think that you're a crazy loser (and I have nothing to do with them).

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,16

>>9682358,23
"Y-y-yeah, I read them, sure!" Along with those troll posts that you mistake for actually "discussion" probably.

[Anonymous No.]

ZUN!bar, now that you're permabanned, do you intend to come clean about everything or do you intend to stick with pretending it's all kosher?

I'd at least like if it you would admit you wanted to discuss off-topic anime all along. Then I can die happy (I am literally dying and /jp/ accounts for most of my life).

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>9682358,25
That's not true at all, because I stopped watching anime when I started posting on /jp/. I talked about this a lot before, because people would always ask me "why aren't you watching this?" over and over. Surely you remember.

But now that I'm off 4chan I started watching anime again. Funny how that works.

Basically I only cared for posting artwork of my favorite Pixiv artists (since it's an image board afterall) but spergloids like yourself thought I was doing it for another reason.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,26
I don't follow your posts that well (sorry) or anime, but I remember you making a thread about the Milky Holmes anime? Though I guess that can be called on-topic because of the source material.

Call me crazy, but I've always figured you know what you're doing and just shoehorn its relevance.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>9682358,27
Yeah I did once, but I only watched it because /jp/ told me to. I always felt it was an on-topic thing anyways too, like Galaxy Angel (another franchise series).

And not really. People never scrutinized my posts until very recently (because they didn't care). I knew I was done for once the Mystery Man Z spam started anyways. I might have mentioned it too.

But I don't know. It also kind of feels good to be "done" with 4chan in general. It's really hard to explain.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,24
You seem upset. Upset and paranoid.

What if I told you that I read LNs too? Are you going to call me a troll, or "/v/-kun", or "that vendetta Anon"?

You are simply crazy.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>9682358,29
>>What if I told you that I read LNs too?

I wouldn't care. Your hobbies aren't relevant despite how much you insist they are.

> When people ask you "do you suck dicks?" do you feel the need to prove that too?

When you ask people if they suck dicks and they tell you they don't, do you automatically consider them as trolls like you did in >>9682358,24 ?

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>9682358,34
Ok that post of yours sounded really gay. But no, there's a big difference between saying "I don't like this" and "I don't like this light novel because it's shit; why not read a REAL book instead". The second one is trolling. You called it quality posting earlier, so that's why you're an e-autist. Might as well let moot poop in your mouth repeatedly if you find troll posts to be quality posting.

>>9682358,33
I'm just making fun of how you felt the need to defend yourself over it, nerd. I didn't ask you that question in the first place.

I am still pissed a month later that Zunbar was banned. So much so that I didn't submit a janitor application. He was one the last good posters and now /jp/ is well... boring.

>You didn't even answer that other guy's question
You mean you right? lol

[Anonymous No.]

What was ZUN!bar even banned for?
Even ignoring that perhaps not all posts may have been top quality at all times, they were still plenty on topic most of the time. I mean, if that's the worst /jp/ had, /jp/ would be a far greater than it actually is.

In either case, what in the world garnered a permanent ban?
Unless I m
issed something crucial, if his posting enough to get you perma banned, then I would figure that most of /jp/ would become perma banned. But I haven't really seen that happening. Is it all because of the tripcode?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,40
Posting and promoting off-topic material as well as complaining about moderation policies for years ended in a permanent ban. Nothing out of ordinary here.

You don't even have to search for his tipcode in the archives. Everything you need to know about what kind of poster he is is right on the front page of /ghost/.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,41
Yeah. But since when did posting off-topic material give you permanent bans?

That's like the most frequent kind of posting on 4chan aside from strictly on-topic posting. People would be perma-banned left and right.

Of course, I am assuming this wouldn't have happened without the tripcode.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,40
Ban evasion. The ban he evaded was for board invasion or something.

When 90% of your posts made since the creation of /jp/ are off-topic, for example.
He should be thankful they let him do whatever he wanted for 4 years.

Of course it wouldn't have happened without the tripcode.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,44
Pseudonymity is a two-way street. You're accountable, but you're also easily forgiven since you're clearly putting some effort in because you're accountable. I often wonder how many posters mods have gone easy on just because they have a name or tripcode.

[Anonymous No.]

I wonder if this guy got a new batch of the bills yet, I worry for him.

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>9682358,43
That's a lie. I never evaded that 1 day KoG ban anyways, as well as the other 1 day autobans I got from posting doujin links with forbidden URLs (like Sendspace or whatever).

There really was nothing for me to evade. It's pretty funny when I think about it actually. I got permabanned shortly after /q/ popped up, then an anon started bragging how he got me banned in the thread where it happened.

I really wonder what happened. But then again, it doesn't matter, because I have no plans to spend any time on 4chan anymore. What a useless website.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9682358,47
Calm down, zunbar. If it was useless you wouldn't spend 4 years on this shithole. Honestly, I don't have a problem with you, but you seem to be very upset about this ban.

Also. what he is saying is true. He got permabanned literally the day after /q/ appeared. Are you telling me that it's coincidence?
