2000-2004 was kinda retro as it still had things in common with the late 90s. 2005-2009 on the other hand isn't that retro, and was the start of our current digitalized society.

I think it's likely due to changes in the mod team. Probably the original /vr/ mods/janitors left (as it was obvious this past few months, this place was troll free land), and a new group of people took over.
I think rule shitposting will continue because the rules are still a clusterfuck, now with not 1, but 2 cutoff dates. It's really weird that, while they made like 4 new boards, they fucked up something as simple as making a Y2K board, clearer rules, and no upset people. But whatever. Shitposting about the rules will now be basically part of /vr/'s board culture, it was kinda fucked from the start, when the sticky said 1999 and before only, and they didn't include the 5th gen systems, which led to adding 5th gen, which led to adding DC.
There's Xbox 360 games released in 2005 or 2006, same with Wii and PS3. People WILL keep posting about rule loopholes, "why can we discuss a game from 2007 but not one from 2005" etc.

Technology ages as fast as it advances so pretty fucking quick. The first Iphone is 13 or so at this point.

It's unironically the retroconsole I most play. Games are arcadeish but not too stripped off either, adding more menus, micromanaging or unlockables than previous gen.

Mini dvds, cases, hardware, everything about the cube feels comfy, and the library is the most edgy one Nintendo has ever made. There are a couple of in-brand games it's a shame weren't ported (Power Stone 2 or Blade Battlers on top of my mind), but all in all there's a lot of good content to play.

It's quintessential rules of the internet: the more people you attract to a board/forum/site, the lower the quality of discussion as the demographics trend towards lowest common denominator.

The abrasiveness also used to serve a purpose to keep people away. Newfags need to go back to gaia and lurk the fuck more. It raised the barrier to entry in a way.

The scientology protests and Time Magazine's coverage of the 4chan when /b/ fucked their person of the year polls to get moot to the top brought the site into the public eye more than it ever had been before. There's pretty mich always been a decline, but the speed of it has only accelerated exponentially sinve then.

I like low traffic boards. There’s no rush to reply, so you can take a while to gather your thoughts and proof-read before posting. Having the possibility to leave a thread and come back a day or two later to check replies makes using 4chan a lot less time consuming. Shitposters get annoyed by the slow pace and leave because they don’t get instant gratification from people taking the bait. High quality posts don’t get drowned out by a flood of buzzwords and wojaks.
More low-traffic boards please.

They should've made /v2k/. The anti-6th gen vs 6th gen conflict here was some Tom & Jerry-esque bullshit where older users and younger users liked to rile eachother up and threads would often hit 500 posts. Now they made it worse by putting 6th gen in here, further aggravating the bad blood.

What's the point? Before I could make threads and have long, slow threads on games barely anyone's played. You can't do that now because the board's community has completely changed. You've got a small crowd of old autists who've been flooded by a massive crowd of young normalfags who want to talk about the PS2 games they played with their friends as kids.
At this point the more sensible advice would simply be to tell people to let go, the damage has been done and /vr/ is gone, this is /v2k/ now. Just accept it and talk about either 2002-2007 games or very popular pre-2000s games that will actually get replies like Doom or Ocarina of Time. Don't be a disingenuous little bastard trying to smooth shit over by pretending you can still talk about stuff that's untranslated and completely unknown outside a single youtube trailer and an archive.org download link like Vampire Hurts, which would be a very, very slow but not dead subject otherwise.
