>>9654 Maybe the reason why it was your kind of bad is because you are shit imageboard like 99% of 4/v/

>>9654 You might like ifunny I'm not kidding

>>9654 8chan.moe ain't a fucking slow board. This place will almost surely be dead the moment 4chang goes up again. Slow boards you have 4chan like niche boards because even there you actually have active userbase. Only /v/ here has actual life with the power of stubborn necromancy. And what was a dead board as /vb/ the best 'quality' thread now is refugee kratos cuckpost.

>>9691 You disgust me. Every time you talk about how dead it was. Guess what. It's better being dead then filled with faggots like you. 4chan was just a containment for the biggest retards on the planet.

>>9691 If you like being a mindless nematode interacting with bots, pajeets, and kikes then yeah I could see how 4chan would be entertaining for you that place has been a shit hole for well over a decade plus now

>>9654 I'm 30. This place is perfect.

>>9654 31 year old boomer here, I never had so much fun hopping between 8chan, Sharty and all the obscure alt chans They all have pros and cons and unique schizos to meet

>>9654 >areolas smaller than her fingers with tits that big Not how it works.

>>9739 it kind of reminds me of the older internet where you went to a bunch of random sites haphazardly instead of just constantly being on one place with everyone else

>>9786 While that is true, there's also a sort of disparate loneliness to no longer having that "familiarity" of having one giant hub site that hosted multiple different sub-communities you could take a stroll through, kinda like strolling through a town centre and going down the various roads to see what there is to do and see. Now with the incapacitation of 4chan you have to actively scout out multiple different sites with their own rules and culture that often conflict with one another and try and find out where all those haunts you used to frequent up and left, if they've even set up shop somewhere yet. You just don't know WHERE they've gone and trying to find them/an equivalent makes you feel like a toddler lost in a supermarket.

>>9800 finally my autism bears fruit my only real problem is not having a threadwatcher/(You) notifier on all these sites, it makes me feel schizophrenic constantly checking every place I've posted to see if there are any replies instead of just posting everywhere and checking back when I see a (You) or more replies in an interesting thread

>>9654 4chan apparently coming back up in a few days

>>9876 Laaame. Just kill it for good.

>>9654 >I have been talking more with my friends and family these days instead of online You mean 4chan going down did you some good?

It's just not comfy.

>>9876 They announced 14-21 days Few days can mean anything.

>>9980 4chan was never comfy to me

>>9985 that was fake cygnus is a mod >>9980 this is way comfier than 4chan, it's just not as fun

>>9691 You underestimate how many of those "People" were bots, anon

>>9804 Any interesting ones? I know of a few, but I never really looked for any due to post speed and the feeling that I'd be out of place. Obviously, if they're so small that 4+8chanons would kill the site, I understand if you don't want to post them.

I like the sharty but not really for posting.

>>9654 >too young /braindead for the slower-paced posts and slightly more serious/focused general culture of 8chan refugees WILL ruin this site

>>10159 I know /v/'s problems just as any other fellow 4/v/irgin. You can very much feel now the daily pain I felt with gacha pseudo generals (here fullblown generals) taking space as softcore porn dump and at some point you also shared the pain of relentless brainrotting screencaps from normalfag social media shit. Do you really think I like that. Or 20 fucking threads praising the latest triple gAy release so organic it would make chatgpt look like a human being? Like what happened with asscreed threads... I just want a fucking place where I can have threads like this: >https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/705743540 >https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/704692221

>>9739 >and all the obscure alt chans Which ones?

>>10224 >I like the sharty What about it exactly? To me it feels like a bunch of zoomers pissing and shitting into a void without any sense or reason. It's not even funny.

>>10343 I remember both of these threads kek

>>10463 NTA but it has that old /b/ feel but with the unique flavor of zoomer insanity that I remember from the old days. It's not for everyone and I don't actively browse the site but they have my blessing for bringing some fun back to the social media hellhole that we've been stuck in since 2007.

>>10469 We really have different definitions of fun. Also I don't remember old /b/ ever being like this. It's not the same kind of chaos. It's just stupidity.

>>10469 Every time I go to the sharty I get 9000 posts shitting on pop culture, anime and porn, even video games. 4chan was a community for discussing pop culture. You are not going to replace 4chan by being anti culture. These people who shit on everything while acting like they're benevolent christfreaks are not actually replacing anything. Like what are you going to discuss on sharty? Just random abstract culture war garbage? They will grow out of it like everyone grows out of hipsterism.

>>9654 Source on the slut

>>9654 Been feeling really fucking homosexual recently till I saw this gif. I'm at peace with what's happened and I'm even enjoying it. I think it's a genesis and I feel freed. I'm praying for the jannies of 4chan and I hope things go well, because it would be a shame if things didn't work out. Maybe I'm wrong but I think this event has acted as somewhat of a filter that has caused mostly the better and more human Anon's to come to places like this. Having been freed from that place I feel like my brain was almost being programmed there by the boundaries I was operating in there. There was also no doubt bots and agents and all sorts of fud there. The speed of it felt antithetical to creativity. >>9739 >>9786 This too.

>>10496 Yes 4chan dying is a good thing. I hope it stays dead. 4chan was quantity over quality. Spending all day with a constant drip of mind pollution is not healthy. We need to spend less time on imageboards and more time contemplating in our own minds. Then when we get some idea we come here and post about it and hope someone else partakes in a real human discussion. niggerniggernigger

>>9654 Thank you for the subtle sharty advertising thread. You should stay there instead of subtly advertising it.

>>9654 yes you did >>9659 no he’s not >>9673 no he won’t yes you are

>>10513 Absolutely. That is how culture is made. When there ceases to be struggle, effort, restraint, or even so much as THOUGHT, etc, then culture ceases, and at some point you just have decline or a paraded corpse. Ashes can be the best way for good things to arise. The yuga cycle is inevitable. It's just nice to be posting with what I know are humans. It not only felt to fast on 4chan, but it felt like everyone was conforming to memes and the memes preceded their thought rather than thought being generative and creative. Almost like a monopoly on memes or something. I'm sort of saying gibberish but there's something to this.

>>9800 i know what you mean fam, you could make a post about what you want to and get a lot replies, but the vast majority of those replies would have absolutely zero substance or even heart put into them. like a tiktok addicted kid, they'd say the very first thing on their mind and then move on, having contributed nothing

>>10556 meant for >>10550

>>10550 To elaborate a bit. Here, if I'm engaging with someone in conversation I don't feel like I'm tangoing with bodies of memes or memetic constructs like some kind of egregore. It's just feels like talking to people. It's more freeing than I can possibly describe to no longer be doing that. So little as just that lack of a connection to the name of 4chan suddenly wisps away that egregore. >>10556 Yep.

>>10561 I know exactly what you're trying to say. It's a smaller more intimate party which is kinda refreshing thus a more robust board culture could develop that feels less trite or manufactured. Like intimate enough you kinda know people on the board or even have a couple of friends there instead of a behavioral sink sea of endless anons. I like the slower pace here so far it's a breath of fresh air. The memes and images are more original, I haven't really seen any twitter captions so far. It's good and I think I'm going to stay.

>>10647 My thoughts exactly. I'm praying it stays that way, and I have faith it will.

>>10647 That's kinda always been the case with some smaller threads on 4chan. The difference is that now it's practically site-wide and healthier on some regards (ignoring our infestation). My only issue is that my niches aren't active outside of 4chan. If I want to read and discuss a web series or a small manga, talk about an update that came out for a VN or even post about stuff like figure or mechanical drawings I'm practically shit out of luck, which is why I kinda hope 4chan comes back. I'd already found a niche I couldn't find anywhere else. 4chan as a whole is horrid and basically a downgrade from other alt-chans in everything but posting quantity, but I really end up losing more than I earn by sticking to smaller sites.

>>10704 >That's kinda always been the case with some smaller threads on 4chan. True there were always small communities within 4chan but exactly now it's the whole place and not just somewhere you need to duck into.

>>10647 >>10561 >>10550 Honestly I wouldn't mind if 4chan's culture wasn't so mindlessly filled with edgy teens who think that being contrarian, spamming soyjaks, mindless shitposting, and constant culture warring is "funny". I don't mind culture war except when it's constantly filling that catalogue and crowding literally everything. Fuck electionsfaggots. They started the end of 4chan

>>9654 I'm kind of similar to you. I think 4cuck going down is the best thing to happen to me, I browsed it out of habit and nothing better to do. I don't really care to browse moe all that much even if it is a better experience. I'm just tired of life

sharty used to be better, it's mostly populated by 14 year old ahmed's located in London now. Moralfags through and through, basically kiwiniggers 2.0

>>10488 >4chan was a community for discussing pop culture Thank you. Whenever anyone compares the sharty to old 4chan or any era of 4chan at all it drives me up a wall. 4chan was full of shitposting because people actually had things to shitpost about. You think Morrowind is better than Gothic or you're saying DMCIV is better than 3 dumbfuck? Queue decades of autism wars. 4chan was incredibly hostile because people wanted to protect what they had from outsiders who would ruin it with shit opinions and people were incredibly passionate about their shit objectively wrong opinions. >Like what are you going to discuss on sharty? Just random abstract culture war garbage? This is half of every big social media site now so for a lot of zoomers that's probably actually how they spend most of their time online now.

>>10550 >it felt like everyone was conforming to memes and the memes preceded their thought rather than thought being generative and creative I've been trying to formulate an answer in my head for the longest time as to why discussion on 4chan, /v/ especially, became so vapid and outright discouraged. You just explained it perfectly. It was a prison culture where you recycle memes and ragebait. The only times I ever posted was on /v/ in OC threads (most commonly drawing comic strips in /stp/ back when they were populated). I pretty much never engaged in real discussions because I like to be as wordy with my reasoning as possible. Most /v/ posts never exceed 4-6 sentences, so I always suspected I'd either be chastised for putting thought into my writing in an environment where you're not expected to, or written off as an A.I. post. (I'm also convinced most jannies/mods actively hunted threads with real, dynamic discussion potential to make way for the monthly mini-TORtanic tomato-throwing threads that'd generate domain traffic and, in turn, advertiser interest/revenue. AC Shadows was the clearest example to me.) It feels so fucking liberating posting on here, you have no idea. I see posts with upwards of 200 words and I've yet to see one reply calling that poster "faggot" or copy-pasting their post into a greentext with an accompanying soyjak. I also suspect this site is inhabited by majority +30yr/olds, as its refreshing to see so many carefully-worded posts without instances of zoomer lingo. When 4chan returns (and I believe it will in one shape or another), I do hope this place stays populated.

>>11578 Brevity is the soul of wit. While I also disliked zoomer tiktok speak on 4chan the truth is that essayfags rarely had anything of value to say. Many people lack the basic ability to formulate concise on-topic answers without derailing into pointless schizo babble. A lot of the "effortposts" you remember fondly could easily be trimmed down.

>>9673 ifunny is decent once you've got a good following list. the featured tab is utter AIDS and has gotten even worse lately

Its a nice vacation from the schizo's at least. And the mods/jannies were massive faggots that deserved to be doxxed.

>>11597 That's true. The risk of my own arguments spiraling out of relevance the further into writing them I am is always in the back of my mind wherever I post, but there's a kind of pride I feel upon looking over a long-winded set of paragraphs I've typed. Even if what I say diverges from the topic at all, I'm glad to have spoken from my own standpoint. I suppose in other words, I like to empathize with the schizo babblers because they speak in service of their own beliefs, and not the status quo. But yeah, brevity reads better. Makes things easier for the young'ins and their attention span. Loads of anons are absolutely mentally unwell, too. Beyond observing bizarre retorts and hostility towards other clearly sane anons while lurking, I once participated in a Steam friend request exchange thread - most didn't reply when I reached out over Steam chat (I guess they changed their minds?), but I got a chat in with two of them. One mentioned how addicted to weed he was and pivoted to trauma dumping for a bit, I don't remember what I discussed with the other but I don't remember it being much easier.

>>11578 > I'd either be chastised for putting thought into my writing in an environment where you're not expected to, or written off as an A.I. post. this happens a lot on a lot of hobby boards honestly. Eventually most people on /fit/ came to assume almost anyone posting a routine chatGPT'd it, same with /k/ where anyone posting essays on /k/ was assumed to be a bot.

honestly after the whole 4chan fiasco idgaf anymore might come back to the main site and will keep lurking here, but i've got tired of staying on imageboards (and on the net) all the time

>>10496 >The speed of it felt antithetical to creativity I hated this, personally. Every single day I'd see people who made good posts and good OC get drowned out by low-effort, coomer ritual posts (especially on vg) or blatant bait. There hasn't been a reason to actually contribute positively to 4chan in more than a decade. Pearls before swine.

>>10496 It was a boiling frog situation. >15 minute timer >selective moderation >can't say nigger 3 times in a post >banned for criticizing mods >feedback went into the paper shredder It's pretty freeing. The sharty bbc/tranny spammers moved here, but it's still better.

4chan is still the best option because everywhere else is full of catholic moralfagging larpers or overmoderated like this chan. No I don't want "serious discussions on video games" I want to spam bust the crust, argue with Indians, and post lolis without getting banned or having a group of moralfags start chimping out.

>>12145 go to /vb/

>>12164 We are in /vb/.

>>9876 I'm gonna miss 8chan. This has been peak comfy.

>>12145 This A board full of pretend jannies is no fun

>>12178 >A board full of pretend jannies is no fun Do you not understand how shit /v/ was? 90% of the posts were either porn, twitter screenshots, fake articles, or just straight up porn. There were almost zero useful conversations to be had. /vb/ is where you can continue to consume fecal matter.

>>12164 vb is just gooner shit

>>11613 What are some good accounts to follow?

>>12180 Games about [fetish]?
