The days are over where you could look up some quest in an obscure MMO and find a website with a detailed description from an elf necromancer about how he solved the quest, the difficulty, and the rewards.
Small aside, but finding stuff like this in my wanderings is always such a treat.
I found a repository of old stories for a TTRPG setting I enjoy, and the person who had compiled all of them essentially roleplayed as an archivist and the website was their library open to curious travellers. It was really endearing because you could tell how much the person cared about the microscopic niche they'd carved out.

I fucking despise what "Cringe Culture" has done to the web and how everything has to appeal to the retarded mainstream masses.
 
Anyone here use /tv/ regularly? The last few years have been fucking awful and it somehow keeps getting worse. There's multiple spam threads that I've been seeing for years now. Like they've been using the exact same image with an almost identical OP post for 2-4 years straight. The normal poster to spammer / bunkerchan astroturfer ratio is getting dire. Other big boards like /v/ and /pol/ are also shit, but there's still the occasional big game release or political happening that draws some people back. TV and film have been so shit that the only threads with any passionate discussion are the one for 20+ year old shows. The site is doing its death rattle and no one cares. The owner doesn't care, the moderation doesn't care, and the users are either visiting out of habit or are actively malicious to the rest of the site. The only possible way to save it is to have someone who cares about the site buy it from Hiro and purge the entire staff.
/tv/ was my favorite board till I WRONGFULLY got an 8 month global ban for "using a VPN"
ratatouille please SFW posts only thanks guys.jpg

just post on here, fuck 4chan, that place pissed me off during gamer gate for their bans when luggage lad chris "epstein reach around" poole banned everyone and made the smart users flee to 8cha then I went to 9chan till joeersh got tired of CP spam now I'm here

Do you like zucchini?
 
Its very surreal to go on a board like /v/ and see a thread up for 1 and 1/2 to even 2 days but posting quality is still somehow abysmal. I’m talking common ESL mistakes, idiotic opinions or arguments, one word responses or people just spamming images to keep it from page 10. I don't believe it ever once occurred to the mods that these draconian practices and outright hatred for longstanding community would lead to the current hellhole people visit now.
We really do just need to make a white only internet. It's either that or just abandon ship.

At the one hand there seemed to come in fresh blood, with them talking about fortnite, using twitter slang and showing a lack of knowledge of older memes, but at the other hand it seems 4chan doesnt seem to get new users and just bleeds out.
This is depressing. I was a regular user from 2010 up until the captcha and cool downs got overly aggressive a few years ago. Boards like /g/, /o/, /fit/, /k/, /tv/ had some of the most autistic and funniest threads with insanely niche board culture that’s lost to the abyss as people have migrated away from the site. Every time I visit expecting to see some similar variation of retarded memes from years ago the boards all feel like a soulless husk. It felt like even /pol/ was late getting to any of the Epstein or Iran stuff compared to xitter or the farms.

I yearn for the halcyon days of mid 2010’s 4chan. Really wish Hiroshimoot would sell the site to someone that actually gave a fuck and would be effective at running it.
 
This would kill Gachafaggotry and Vtroon discussion. Why would you want to do that? :lol:
Talking about gachas or vtubers on 4chan means you sign up to join a conversation with Isfahan from Indonesia, Rafael from the Philippines, Nankongpoophucket from Thailand, Phat Phuc from Vietnam, Mustafar from Malaysia, and Xiao Nima from Singapore. More than likely or not, one or two of them will be samefagging as well, and it's super obvious the way their replies are timed exactly 1 minute from what they're replying to, or if they parrot the same talking points over and over again.

SEAmonkeys and third worlders just fly to this like moths to a lamp, it's insane how much they've infested the tranime subculture.

My experience from Genshin /bant/ threads is that most shitposting and noise comes from fellow Euro flags. Could be VPNs, jannies have been proven to be actively shitposting in the general and refusing to moderate known schizophrenics, but still.

whenever i see stuff like this I always want to doubt it because jannies can't really announce their presence so i have no idea how you'd know they were there but the /brit/ thread is infested with two schizos who spend 16 hours a day posting their weird fantasies about the gherkin in London and how it's actually an all inclusive migrant hotel where they rape white children and they never get banned yet porn and politics is gone in minutes

It's absolutely a known fact that jannies are complicit in letting these double-digit IQs shit up threads, because there wouldn't be anyone posting in said threads otherwise. Just visit any thread in /vg/ and you'd find at least one thread schizo replying to themselves. The only thing they do is remove NSFW from non-NSFW boards and getting rid of the CSAM that David Hoffman plants on dead boards.

/gig/'s jannies have a long and storied history

Although these days there aren't many early OP wars or mass deleting threads they don't like, they just let any nutcase samefag and spam, only gore and cheese pizza ever get deleted.

Ah I don't use most boards on 4chan but you do always see schizos accusing random personalityfags of being jannies
But yeah the problem with generals is that as long as their posts are vaguely related to the subject of the general, how are jannies even meant to do anything about it
