Sorry but /jp/ nostalgia sucked.

In the beginning, it was just /a/. (2008- early 2009)
Then it turned into tripfag wars. (late 2009-2010)
Then it became just pure boring (2011-)

That's sad that you cared about those, but for those of us who didn't it was the most enjoyable time.

Also, /jp/ was /a/ when /a/ wasn't. It was an old /a/, and, for all its faults, old /a/ was good /a/.

I've been here since 2008, close to when the split happened. There were a lot more pedophiles, and the whole NEET/hikki thing was more interesting (still is but those threads get hijacked by faggots), but that was really it. We'd be the refuse of 4chan anyway (although I know of boards that are worse).

Good old day, lots of things happened when I think about it.

- Are you frustrated DELUXE editions
- Am I kawaii uguu + disformed eyes persistent spam (crossboarding, lasted a good month I think)
- Glory of Bawson
- First japanese bird cooking spaghetti
- Chen honk honk spam (world cup)
- Japanese bird evolution
- The Rin Tohsaka glorious days - Constant spam! (lasted 6 days)
- General crossboard war beetween /a/ & /jp/ (they really wanted to delete us, moot officially declined the possibility if I'm correct)
- Umineko screencaps theories spam engaged (/a/ suspected, but somehow it lasted long enough to make this memorable)
- Beginning of Autism threads
- ( ... )
From there cannot remember, to be honest /jp/ hasn't been real fun those last 2 years. Well, the new generation is taking over, this board starts to feel like a common board from there.

I cannot pinpoint the exact time for the persistent tripfags :
- /jp/ Police
- /jp/ Quality Control
- White Ren (glorious days - viral)
- Jones
- Yukari
- Moetron

I'm from way before /jp/ was even created. Granted, the tripcode began on /jp/, but it's not like that's important.

Nobody probably even remembers the first days of /jp/ or the year before /a/ went straight to hell. Those were the actual good days, not the autismo spam, or ZUN!spam and sion's sissy slap fights.

Everything has come full cycle.

Even the most horrific and ironic jokes of the past are now faced as a hard reality. This state of affairs has left the newposters of today to face a board based on the speculative horrors of the past.

I feel so out of touch that I don't even know what the equivalent set of terrors would be for the modern users. Reddit, I guess? Facebook integration? Live chat attached to every board utilizing skype mass-webcam chat?

There's no such thing as counter culture. There's only a branching point. You can't beat cultural changes. You can only diverge. And divergent culture groups are always swallowed up once they prove to be weaker. They always die out with the generation that reveres the culture, to live on briefly in the memory of the generation that follows.

Or, they don't have kids, and their generation, as pure as it is, is the last one to embrace the culture. Disco dies for a reason. Punk is left behind. Beliefs, no matter how awesome, are replaced.

The only way to fight it is to literally stamp out the other divergent culture that arises, which we failed to do.

When you actually sit down and talk to someone who is younger than you, you mostly just realize how much stupider they are than even you are. Their "fear" is more a matter of ignorance than knowledge. I'm afraid of the world, because I understand a great deal about how fucked up it is. They don't have a goddamn clue, or a map of where to start trying to find one.

It's a subtle sense of despair, realizing that those who will be caring for you in your old age are completely fucking dumb. And I'm talking about the ones that are literate. I can't even imagine having an extended conversation with the trash that is coming out of American schools now.

And you Eurofriends don't start yipping about "American schools." Your countries are a breeding ground for illiterate, indoctrinated welfare roaches. You might have an intellectual advantage in the previous generation, but you're all basically chavs and fodder now.

I have no idea who that is, and I've not been on 4chan. It really became so depressing that I stopped coming here or to any other board. I watch anime, I play games, I download most of the internet in a given week, and I try to stay alive. I've been more productive ever since leaving about a year and a half ago, or whenever that was.

I don't even recall why I stopped by today. Wish there was some way to keep up with everyone from old /a/, but there's no way that I could do that without it being really awkward and intrusive, so I'm content with letting history meet its end. /a/jp/ was the best and worst thing I've ever been a part of.

The newer generations are getting dumber? I don't think that's the case whatsoever. I'd place the blame on the mainstream advances on the internet and the sensationalizing culture that is become dominant througout the first world. The retards have always been retards, but they've stayed inside their own circles and haven't touched anything that's too complex for them. It used to take patience to get things done. Now? The internet provides a quick fix for the stupid and naturally they explore by clicking on links that take a fraction of a second. "Nerds" are completely avoiding the internet because it's just a place for social networking, right? Hell, every single hobby has been infected with the normal. They just ignore it all and get a high paying job like the government wants them to do. Weed out the intelligent and critical thinkers and create a generation of pleasure seekers with no mind to oppose. Then there's the retarded showoffs that brag about their endeavors on the internet and their involvements with 4chan and reddit- the two sekrit clubs that make you internet supergeniuses. This kind of trash has always existed, but it doesn't help that they attract attention to the sites and turn them mainstream. There will be no recovery, but don't place the blame on people getting stupider. Last time I heard people are becoming more autistic by the day. Must suck to be part of the older generation that likes to talk.

I remember feeling a distinct difference in /jp/ after taking a leave for a week or so, and I was told that we had a series of /b/a/v/ invasions but things should go back to normal after they get bored. But a lot of things changed forever after that, I don't remember the exact period, though.

It was like the rest of 4chan was 2 years ahead in "modernizing" with memes, and /jp/ was holding on to old values until that point.

This is where you are wrong. /jp/ was actually ahead of the curve. I ventured out of /jp/ after all the /q/ shit and I all saw outside were /jp/ memes and image macros used unironically.

It's best to just forget what happened to us during 2011 and move forward. Things got pretty bad then, with shitposting becoming culture and the atmosphere changing into a resigned acceptance of forced stuff like "Madoka a shit" being one of the things that represented our board.

Now we have more of a chance to stumble into the same problems we had before, namely of determining our own identity and what's the balance between taking it easy while having some relaxed fun, and just turning into 2D/Random with all that implies.

More recently, what seems to have happened is Reddit stole the entire slew of "mainstay" memes on 4chan, and thus all of the boards had an allergic reaction to the hijacked memes and completely rejected them.

Meanwhile, these boards create almost no content of their own, and haven't for ages, while /jp/ produces loads of "ironic shitposting" things. These, in turn, were hijacked by the rest of 4chan to replace their own stolen memes.

>>9921707
Maybe the people like me ruining it. I only half-browsed /jp/ for ages after it was created because, honestly, I thought the board was utterly horrible and I had little interest in talking about Touhou since I had done on that /a/ on-and-off forever, not to mention having seen at least 50% of the fanart thanks to the endless touhou hijacks. It felt worse than /a/. Worse than /v/. This sure didn't last though, I don't know how or why, but the other boards took a nosedive straight into the marina trench maybe around 2009 and perhaps everyone ran to /jp/ like I did.

Sorry dude. I probably helped ruin it.

While on the topic, I've always dislike the newfag/oldfag separation. One of the things that make anonymous imageboards any special is that every poster is meant to be on the same level. No post counts, no join date, no levels. Just your current post to be evaluated and replied to on it's own standing.

I say that if you think the date you found 4chan has any difference in what sort of poster you are, then you missed the whole point of this place.
And yeah, I still feel new after 2006. There's just too much that I missed out on.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 23 01:19:30 2012 No.9921748 >>9921733 To true, I really dislike using those terms for new posters and tripcode users and essentially never have. It always seemed to me that it was a newer generation of poster that coined them in the first place.

'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I agree, that's another reason that I don't feel like I can call myself an "oldfag" (i.e. something superior)

Though, on the other hand, I kinda feel like I'm outgrowing 4chan recently. I've been here for 7 or so years, but I'm finding it harder and harder to relate to the newer userbase. It might be time to just stay on 2ch forever, since I've long mastered moon.

For me, it was somewhere between the board name change, the addition of the CAPTCHA, and the linking to /prog/ on /g/. Kind of screwed up my two favorite boards.

I still enjoy 4chan to this day, but /jp/ doesn't feel the same anymore; I barely visit, and never for very long. Oh well, I hope all the real /jp/easies are out there, well, taking it easy.

FBI finally considered /jp/ a threat and gave it the same treatment as the rest of jewchan. No one even gives a shit anymore and there's no resistance to the corruption of the image board culture. All attempts at any civilized conversations are shortened to stupid sentence long answers that have no meaning. Memes have no value and belong in the threshhood of retards who can't reply without attempting to fit in.

Don't get me started on that. I see "pls respond" and "you're mom lol" being used without a trace of irony now and it hurts my soul. These are the people I've chosen to hang around with? Then I convince myself I'm being elitist for no good reason and try to find a thread I can enjoy peacefully.

Have tried to leave plenty of times already, burning bridges and the whole thing. Always come crawling back. Not really sure what keeps me here since I hate most of the recent culture. Guess it's like a bad household. It might be terrible, but it's home, you know.

Still optimistic the /q/ attention will play in our favor in the long run. But at the same time I worry since even with 24/7 moderation we still need an active userbase willing to fill the voids left from all the deleted threads. Otherwise it's slow stagnation for us.

Sorry, trying to stay optimistic somehow and it's nice to see some old faces here, but this thread is really cementing the fact that our time has come and gone for me.

Well this would be fine if posters didn't stratify themselves by their actions. Hell, I remember on /a/, first "everyone" talked about how they hated Gaia, then about how they hated ANN, then about how they hated Animesuki, then about how they hated MAL.(order might be wrong) It always had this feeling that huge groups of users would come from these communities and then start talking about how much they hated them for 4chan cred.

Every time 4chan has interacted large scale with another community, it has brought waves of new posters who do act distinctly different.

I am so glad those autism-buttranged pictures didn't catch on as much as I feared they would. They were like metahumor of metahumor and completely pointless outside of /jp/

Speaking of them, I thought /jp/ couldn't take it easy anymore but thinking again, /jp/ takes it easier than ever. People don't seem to get mad to the extent they did in past years. I remember not being able to understand how some people could be so angry.

The constant spam of certain things has started to wind down too. Even those flan threads. And that stupid Sanae and her two asses meme is nearing it's end.

I used to whine about the term "newfag" on /a/ when it showed up (It was April or so when it reached wide-spread use I believe, but I can't remember if it was 2006 or 2007. Whatever year Nanoha was airing again. It was probably on /b/ for ages prior but I never visited there at that point.)

I'm sure I posted "newfag is a newfag term" more times than I should have. That was terribly misguided and counter-productive of me, in hindsight. Luckily, I gave up on that pretty quickly when the term spread into all manner of -fag titles and was beyond anything I thought I could accomplish.

Was oldfag used before newfag hit wide-spread use? I can't even remember. "Newfag" really got out of control, either way. Kind of like the "lol I troll you" / trollface thing that followed some time later, and more-or-less identical in bastardized usage.

Somewhat unrelated to /jp/, but why do you think moot still keeps this site around? He says he loses money running it, and I can't see him enjoying spending time on this site.

Wasn't "pls respond" semi-serious before it became a meme/macro?
"you're mom lol" was always either intended to troll people into pointing out the misspelling or just as a pointless insult. It's part of /v/'s intentionally renaming file names, and mis-saying figures of speech.

I think you might be becoming unnecessarily angry at nothing, like those people who are starting to be angry at things like using the quote function for things other than quoting, or using spoilers for anything other than spoilers, both of which have been going on for years.

One time I asked him to actually go ahead and delete /jp/. To do as he said in >>1 and simply get rid of it as it was a hassle to moderate.

He was strongly against. I actually had never seen him so opposed to anything since he's actually pretty easy going most of the time. No way, not as long as there were thousands of people enjoying it. Which I think revealed to me why 4chan will stay around as long as he's capable: He's unable to remove the place that makes the day of so many people. The idea that millions of users will suddenly have to abandon the imageboard and look for a new place in a web that is increasingly about identity and marketing is repugnant and so we get to yell at each other for another day even if we are a mess to handle or burning through server money.

He never speaks ill of any board by the way. He just recognizes people having fun, or enjoying things that can't be found in other places and that makes him happy.

Anyway, that's why 4chan will never die as long as there people interested in it.

I admit my part in that. I just can't stop the meta, it's practically a craving that I need to feed regularly. But even the meta was better formed back then when most interested parties congregated in easymodo /ghost/. Now we have /q/, but that's more of a "NSJ sucks" ground than anything.

>>9921821
Yeah, that's why I try to breathe and take it easy. But it does get to me on first sight though, seeing what could be potentially a nice thread about an often ignored topic being marred by therearenoreplies.jpg. It shifts the dialog towards the banal and threads die before they even get a chance that way. But you know, not all the time.

I just worry. This is the stuff that is constantly posted, new people coming in that actually lurk and try to adapt find themselves copying the dominant actions. And those are the ironic shitposting. Just hope that the things that made /jp/ interesting and special don't get forgotten by the time 4chan is 10 years old.

Nanoha aired in 2004, As 2005, StrikerS 2007. Newfag was well in use before then(Strikers), mostly being used as "newfag summer" so probably ~2006.

>Was oldfag used before newfag hit wide-spread use?
Defiantly not.

Fag was just an insult, I don't remember when newfag started but it was definitely an insult then, probably spawning from appending fag to tripfag. (or the other way around, I forget*) Oldfag didn't appear until people started using -fag as a descriptor of themselves rather than a hostile insult.

*upon checking saved threads, tripfag was being used at least in 2005, so it came first

It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.

With age comes the realization that change is inevitable, and most of the changes i have experienced have been negative with no recourse for further change. Even though I miss my old hikki lifestyle greatly (between jobs currently), choices in life often boil down to "fight or die". I think its the same with the old culture. Unfortunately it is my belief that we are far past the point where we could have fought to any reasonable degree to win success, and, even if we had, we lacked the authority to be successful long-term.

A lot of people like to pretend that we can change /jp/ into something that it used to be, but a lot of our old contributors have either left, portaled, or just shitpost now. This board and many others have been getting progressively worse over the years due in no small part to the popularity of the site. Some years its more obvious than others, but the overall quality level is the elephant in the room for 4chan. Even moot acknowledges this quality issue, but it always seems like we are left out in the cold. Likely there will need to be a new site created or an existing site nurtured to take the place of what used to be. I haven't found that place yet.

Just for perspective on the opinions written in this post, I have been browing since 2003. I would very much like to hear the opinions of those who have been around a long period of time.

I watched most of the first season back when radios and tvs weren't banned from /a/. Someone would show some shows sometimes and I watched it along with some others. I didn't like it enough to pursue season 2 on my own, but I did watch Overture when it came out.

This is how I feel as well.
Sometimes the sheer amount of shitposting brings me down and I have to stay away for a while, but I always come crawling back. I don't feel that it could have been prevented, or that it can be corrected, but I can't just roll with it either.
I've been browsing since 2004.

Your memory is completely failing you. /jp/ has had metathreads since day one, and they were at their worst throughtout the 2008 (first we wanted our /a/ back; then, we settled and tried to decide what /jp/ is and what's its direction). They did help to shape /jp/, but by the early 2009, most people have realized they're the worst thing about the board, and they started to be shunned, which gradually led to them being completely eliminated from /jp/ somewhere around 2010. This is the first one I've seen in months, and the first one taking things this seriously in more than a year.

And no, ">/jp/" threads and moderation complaints aren't metathreads proper. They're just spam, or clumsy ineffectual trolling at best. Without replies and with frequent enough moderation that we've now gotten, they may as well not exist.

I am well aware of the entropy and how the easy, no-thinking-required posts dominate the board. Not just for us but all of 4chan.

It is indeed sad how most of the old users leave or outright turn into shitposting themselves, but like I said before I want to think that even if all the old posters suddenly disappeared it wouldn't mean the end to our cultural legacy since the ideas are what lives on and just because the newer posters came later on it doesn't really mean they're worse or they have nothing to add in turn.

You mention the lack of authority to achieve anything long-term, but from being on the other side of this I can tell you, it's even more frustrating to have the power to remove everything negative from the board and watch as nobody tries to fill the gaps with good content of their own. A lasting solution to the ever increasing entropy must come from both the moderation upholding the rules to guarantee some quality, and the userbase itself throwing content to the wall and see what sticks. Risks need to be taken, expand the topic pool and reply to posts with more than a single sentence. We're a small, slow board after all. The time that you take to reply to a post doesn't mean that the topic will have galloped out of reach while you were typing.

By the way, what you mention is the only reason I haven't entirely retired by tripcode even if I prefer this much more. Figure that there must be someone out there taking some comfort that someone from the start of the board is still active, even if they're a major prick.

I don't think a new site is the solution since we've discussed this plenty before. It sounds like a good idea, but it only fragments us. I'm sure that a lot of the old posters are out there in between sites, boards and blogs. Because we never organized now we have a diaspora of the otaku with no good place to call all of us with some minimum requirements of quality

I'll just probably keep jumping on 4chan myself. Every time a new serious board is made, it's great for a while unless/until it becomes popular. I've been ignoring them for a while now, but /wsg/ may be the best board on 4chan for all I know.

My major problem was the eternal flood of new people and the increased board speeds, but 4chan seems to be declining nowadays, and may return to a peaceful state and gain a new culture.

You guys are all lamers. /jp/ is and always was one of the worst boards on 4chan. Non stop whining. There isn't enough content to discuss so everyone just shits around in meta threads like this. Of course, of the little content there is to discuss, /jp/ doesn't want to discuss it because it's for newfags and has been "discussed to death". Which just means they don't like things that are popular.

Overall this board makes /a/ look amazing. And that's the irony behind the fact that everyone on /jp/ spends all their time criticizing the other boards.

It's too hard for me know where the dissonance between me and the current state of the boards came from. I know I'm far from the only person who thinks they've gotten progressively worse as years go on, but I've also gotten progressively older. I'm sure there are plenty of people across the boards these days who are half my age. At the same time, I've never been very fussy about board quality, the testament of such being that I'm still here. I have been browsing much less recently though.

I've always thought of /jp/ of as "old /b/ 2.0" after seeing what happened on the board after the split cooled off a bit. Some people surely loathe this mindset, but it's great for me. /jp/ may not be quite as entertaining lately but it's still alright.

In the end, I've never taken any of it very seriously and I still hang onto that attitude, even if my grip is a bit shaky now.

Also I have no idea when I got here, I've got a file named 1055133825145.jpg but I'm not even sure 4chan was open then and I'm unsure if I knew about futaba yet back then (probably not) and moe.homelinux.net used a different file name structure (20030628012941.jpg etc). It is a mystery.

I'm a somewhat new user (6-7 months). I frequent the boards /a/, /b/, /c/, /f/, /int/, /jp/, and /q/. And whenever I come across threads like these I always feel really sad, like I missed out. Sometimes I get this guilt because I can't help but think I'm being detrimental to 4chan's quality without realizing it. I'm a fairly anti-social person and it makes me sad that 4-5+ years ago this site would've been perfect for me. I found it too late. God damn, I get so depressed when I think about this site. Was it that much better back then?

The thing with retrospective threads like this one is that everything looks far better since you do your best to only remember the good parts. The fun times spent together, not the hours spent refreshing the pages waiting for a good thread to pop-up.

In other words, cherish this time and do your best to contribute now. And if you ever want to see how things were back then, check the archives. /jp/ is the oldest board that has its whole history archives. Every shitpost, the raids, the great threads that could only be created in that time and board.

In other words, never wish you were in a site before your time because whatever the old posters tell you is heavily biased for one. Just do whatever you can to bring the image of those days into the present.

While I'll agree that I thought 4chan was a lot better back then, I'm still getting roughly the same amount of entertainment out of it as I did in 2003. A lot of these people seem to be to ignorant to let go of their idealized past and move on. People from the past didn't all leave we just got over ourselves and that ideal and learned to take what we can, and enjoy it. These people are trapped holding onto a past that existed only in their minds, if they want that to hold them back then thats on them.

I tried but it doesn't seem like some of you even want to enjoy yourselves. Thats alright I suppose, I'll continue lurking and enjoying the site for what it is.

I'm well aware of what old /b/ was like. I'm staring at a folder full of porn and Tsukihime pictures, which I'm fairly sure are right off of there.

People here still do stupid shit for the sake of doing stupid shit. The difference is it gets deleted too fast for the post rate, and unfortunately a lot of stuff that is both stupid and completely retarded ends up clinging to the board like a parasite. Beyond that, there is a sizable number of people who seem allergic to fun. There also isn't as much OC unfortunately, that's the shit that really keeps things moving.

In objective quality, it probably wasn't, but we were younger and easier to entertain, and many things really were fresh and groundbreaking for its time.

You'll just have to learn to live with some grumpy oldfags who've seen it all already and will quip something cynical now and then about how they can't have as much fun as before. Don't let them stop you - but listen to them carefully, since sooner or later you too are going to realize that the things they deride truly are shameful and/or boring. I know I did.

4chan was always good.

I mean there's always been times when things go fully retarded and some tripclown or camwhore (guess that was limited to /b/) shows up to dance around or some fresh new meme floods over the board like a typhoon. There's always been times where some funny shit is going down or there's something super interesting to talk about. Gotta take it all in stride.

I agree to some extent. What I've been concerned about most has been the balance of old vs new. New posters can certainly be good, but it feels as though there are barely any of our old contributors around. From what I have seen of the ones that return periodically (myself included), quality control has been the primary reason cited for any of these posters to leave. Self-policing is certainly important, but there is only so much you can do as an individual poster to make things better.

>You mention the lack of authority to achieve anything long-term, but from being on the other side of this I can tell you, it's even more frustrating to have the power to remove everything negative from the board and watch as nobody tries to fill the gaps with good content of their own.
I can imagine this is very frustrating. Even moreso when the gaps are filled quickly with more low quality content. However, posters and mods/janitors/admins alike will eventually put their hands up in frustration.

I agree, and my reference to "being left out in the cold" was primarily aimed at the lack of moderation /jp/ has seen in the past. I think this was the breaking point for a lot of people, and results in a lack of contributions once things start to get cleaned up a bit.

The thing I miss the most from /b/ were things like the stories of the men's warehouse man having ludicrous love affairs with his huge harbl. I mean /b/ had its short catchphrases and stupid memes but they also had actual effort, with long stories and retarded poems and the like. The best people can do nowadays is parrot each others memes while nudging each other with their elbows.

The greentext stories from /v/ were the closest to old /b/ type writing, before they went from bears and dinosaurs to spawning /v/ - Spaghetti Culture. /v/ is called /b/2 but it really was /b/2 in the way that MTV 2 actually played music videos for a while there.

To what extent would the following improve 4chan?
It seems a bit tryhard/extreme to me, but I'm wondering what would happen.

- Temporary, yet heavy moderation on /v/, /a/, and /jp/. Rangeban the worst offenders
- Immediate rangeban application to the entire population of /b/, /soc/ /adv/, /hc/, /r9k/, /pol/, /gif/, /mlp/ and a few of the other worst boards. I don't want to use the word 'normalfag' but I find that best represents the kind of poster we would want to remove from 4chan. For this reason I'd be leery about leaving boards like /sp/, /fit/, or /fa/ up, but I'd give them a chance to improve.
- Remove /soc/ /adv/, /hc/, /r9k/, /pol/, /gif/, /mlp/
- Forced /a/non on all boards. Trip users aren't Satan incarnate or anything, but they seem to be universally a force for ill instead of good. Add an optional 'OP' tag for the OP of the thread. Disable the 'Name' slot.

I wonder if this would be a net good or bad for the site.

Depending on how much of the cancer crossposts, it may destroy the site entirely.

For one, the boards I am thinking of are externally regulated by cultures that inflict discipline. They have rigorous systems of detecting "bad posts," with external verifiability. While they deal with new posters on a regular basis, they are able to encultureate them, or effectively ignore them, due to possessing systems that are based around enculturation.

They have topics capable of extensive and exhaustive discussion at a full depth that can satisfy human thought, and the posters who are capable of arguing at such levels.

Their main posters eschew the name field and eschew the use of trips and securetrips. Their main posters are capable of disagreeing with courtesy and continuing to examine topics.

Finally, they benefitted from some early severe moderation, especially during raids.

I think there's a difference. People actually liked Shiki can kill servants for one, and there was varied, active discussions over powerlevels every single time. Retarded, you bet, but far different from the recent flanfly threads or homu homu and saten with ice. The content is always the same, the only fun being in performing the callbacks properly. I argued for the deletion of flanfly even if it's harmless fun because it does nothing. It's just the exact same thread every single night. But it's part of our culture now and what can I do about it.

My point is, shitposting is most of what gets deleted and you can check that by yourself. Yes, it does harm us as a board when it's allowed to go unchecked and we end up with a board dedicated to gloryholes and cocksucking like we did last year without a janitor.

It would be best if we could all just take it easy like in the first year of /jp/, but we require overseers for the shitposting while it remains an issue. Hopefully there will be a time when they won't need to be there, and actually we are making progress towards that. It is now a rare sight to see a missing page when it used to be up to half of the board was deleteable shit.

I mean mods = fags, but some users = fags lately. 4chan isn't that bad that anything needs to be deleted. It just needs a little more moderation.

Ok, I see what you meant now.
First off, wow. Yeah, I can see us go down to 3-4 pages if following global rule 6 strictly and get rid of the imagedump threads for starters.

The issue here is that I tried this approach before. Repeatedly. What I found was that people don't take it as a sign to try to improve the quality of threads and seize the opportunity of blank pages to be filled with good threads. No, they spam harder just to fill those gaps, like ocean rushing into a fresh crater. Not only that, but by being so overt with moderation you create a hostile environment. People are no longer able to take it easy and have some fun because they feel a massive eyeball judging every thread and post. Faced with that, they'd rather lurk rather than take the risk, which helps to raise the percentage of total shitposting among new posts.

The best way is to have consistent and constant moderation that is effectively invisible. Unfortunately, that means focusing on only the obvious shitposting while leaving the borderline and possibly low quality threads.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 23 04:19:03 2012 No.9922348 >>9922253 It might actually work. It would certainly kill off a lot of the undesirables, but I'm unsure whether it would start generating good again, which is what really needs to happen.

That's really what it comes down to. It's a shame there's just no way to magically make people into quality posters.

I've always been of the view that all you can do is do your best yourself, but obviously that's not going to fix the whole world, you know?

It feels like a lot of you come here for something more than simply "posting images on an image board". I think you will never be satisfied if you are like this. If you want nice events to reminisce about and quality discussion, then... go make some quality friends and talk to them already. Far away from 4chan.

You will never find such good things here, only memes, trollshit, or delusional people who somehow think any of this passes as a valid social life substitute. I've always liked you /jp/, but I'm not a fool and I never expected you to deliver something that you're incapable of delivering.

>People actually liked Shiki can kill servants for one
And yes people actually like flanfly, saten or whatever. Please do not associate these threads with cocksucking. /jp/ was always built on silly images with silly remarks.
May I direct you to images like >>9916172, hoopdog, japanesebird, tetodailydose, mouikkai, >>9916404, >>9921111, >>9921163, ransmirk, ohayou, gununu, madopuke, anzuchang, retardmaster and etc.

You can choose to not like these and turn /jp/ into a nazi moderated board with 100% on board topic filled with blogs or new touhou discussion every 6months. Dont expect other people to agree with you.

You guys can reminiscence the good old days together with goodolddays-kun. I meant what I said when I said that there is actually no difference between now and then.
Only difference is spam that you like last time compare to spam that you hate now.
The people that have stayed since 2008 doesnt pretend that /jp/ is a bastion of quality last time and just go with the flow.
You can try to change /jp/ with /q/ but in the end it is all the same shit. Actually no I believe it has become worse with all the blogshit. You cant even tell them to get the fuck out with /jp/ is not your blog anymore.
Good job guys.

After reading this thread, I have to agree with AoC:

>>9922097
>You mention the lack of authority to achieve anything long-term, but from being on the other side of this I can tell you, it's even more frustrating to have the power to remove everything negative from the board and watch as nobody tries to fill the gaps with good content of their own. A lasting solution to the ever increasing entropy must come from both the moderation upholding the rules to guarantee some quality, and the userbase itself throwing content to the wall and see what sticks. Risks need to be taken, expand the topic pool and reply to posts with more than a single sentence. We're a small, slow board after all. The time that you take to reply to a post doesn't mean that the topic will have galloped out of reach while you were typing.
But I think that even if it suceeded on filling the gaps with new content, large influxes of new users from other boards (especially /v/) ultimately could end up being more detrimental to the board that the entropy effect due to quality decline and speed increase.

The board is already full of users from other boards (see every post with le, xD, lel). If anything, the amount is lower today than it was in 2008.

New users aren't a bad thing. Only users who are unable to lurk and adapt are detrimental to the board. However, it's easy to tire the latter type out. I think everyone should take a more relaxed stance and try to become less paranoid of other posters.

>users from other boards (see every post with le, xD, lel)

I post those things and I don't visit any other boards. In fact, I'd argue the opposite:
The users from other boards are fine. They're here because they want to be, and even the most impatient and ignorant want to fit in to an extent.
The users who sit on /jp/ for 10+ hours a day for years, we're the ones ruining it. If I could take a break from /jp/, not only would /jp/ get better in my absence, but I'd be a better and happier poster when I returned.

Westerners just have less incentive to master those types of things in general (for the purposes of fanworks). It won't net you big money or prestige here.

It does in Japan though, hence the big focus on fanworks over there.

Those are always the worst posters, especially the ones who hang out on /jp/ 16 hours a day simply because they have nowhere else to go.
