fetishfags, /u/niggers and shonenfags infesting other threads, shitposting contest for (you)'s, mods banning and deleting the wrong threads/posters, too many generals (it's only natrual that the quality of discussions sinks if there is a thread every hour instead of just on chapter days etc.) and also these

The virgins that used to rule Yea Forums turned into "have sex" posters and they're not slowing down any time soon.

Yea Forums has turned into a manga board now, but not everyone has accepted it yet so the vocal minority ( anime fags) just spread their cancer

newfags, hxhfags, nostalgiafags, celfags, seasonalfags, yurifags, oldfags who think of themselves as valuable to the board because they've been here for 15 years despite having the anime knowledge of someone who's started watching 15 months ago, studiofags

That should cover all the major groups.

Yea Forums is a unique case of a good board that was single handedly ruined by moderation instead of an influx of bad users. Yea Forums had amazing self-moderation before when shounenshit would get dubspammed and rec threads would get reported and told to fuck off. I don't know what happened in the past few years.

Apart from the loli threads, moefags aren't detrimental to the board. Seasonalfags already reduce the quality of debate. And the pseud-oldfags, who are no more than a different shade of newfags, contribute less than the moefags, yet they stand on ceremony because they've "been here for longer".

Why can't you admit that the huge influx of newfags on Yea Forums in the last 5 years didn't have a deplorable impact on the quality of shitposting?

- Yea Forumsermins starting shitpost threads with an archetype OP
- Yea Forumsnsanguin americans worshiping Trigger because of their nostalgia, spamming the board with 20 threads after each new episode
- transex/u/als and their headcanon, if two girls looks are friendly it means they are gay for each other. You can't have a normal thread without lesbian spamming, worsen up if it has a male in it.
- /pol/ bringing their shit into everything, everyone hates niggers but keep it in your own board
- threads becoming generals, weekly shonen(HxH/HeroAca/SNK and others)/ manga or anime that has nothing new (DBZ) having constantly a thread at any given time / LN retards trying to make a general.
- Studio fanboyism ending up in war (Shaft/KyoAni)

It was already dead since before they even started deleting loli threads 2 years ago. I always say it, phoneposters was a mistake, moot allowed the devs to make a css for mobile browsers in 2015. Look at the stats, when was the largest activity peak before the elections peak? it was after the fappening that's around the time when the new css was implemented.

I never saw discussion of FSN in it, it was just same posts over and over in the thread.

don't forget and probably a bunch more

Just passing by to say, the current captcha, fuck that shit.

What, sakurafish finally stopped posting?
If so I don't blame him for leaving. The only things that have brought me back here in the last couple years are Senko-san and Jojo part 4 airing.
What little I've seen confirms what I saw coming 6 years ago, Yea Forums really is reddit 2.0 now, and I know for a fact from old #janiteam dumps that most our our current mods for the last few years have been tumblr/reddit shitters.
You got it ass backwards. Our classic elitism was real and heartfelt, and served for a good while to keep out the type of poster who seems to be in the majority here these days. But sure enough some dumbfucks got Yea Forums in the mass media news and within a few years new folks are flowing in faster than they can soak up and adapt to our culture.
Critical mass was reached long ago and rather than adapting to the wonderful unique thing we had, they forced our ideals on it to the point where imouto and loli threads seem no longer welcome, lewd gets deleted, and the joy of nighttime Yea Forums will never be found again.

Damn I came here to talk about about cute foxes and got worked up over all the reasons I quit frequenting the shithole. I need another dose of Senko.

Trying to rigidly stick to the rules while ignoring the generally accepted presence of some of those threads by the general userbase is part of the reason why Yea Forums is so bland now. We need more self moderation, more creative threads, more fucking fun.

Unironically when moot left.

Yea Forums was already in the media for years.
Poster count has been decreasing not increasing.

>the joy of nighttime Yea Forums

Yea Forumsutism was too good for this sinful earth.

Waifufaggotry is absolute cancer. It used to be made fun of more but now people are treating it completely sincerely so every day we have threads and threads and threads about people posting their waifus and jacking off. Yea Forums has become some weird emotionally stunted cum bucket. Any discussion of anime devolves into waifu faggotry and that's it. Rinse and repeat. That and seasonal anime is cancer.

Your theory is sound but unrealistic.

Well to be honest people have forgotten how to have fun. I blame the electionfags for bringing in politicism of the internet to here thus embittering the boards and Yea Forumseddit shitposters trying to create hardcore wars between everything

My brain automatically blocks every post with a moeblob pic attached to it, maybe I've just come to dislike modern anime in general since the majority of it consists of seasonal moeshit these days.

But OC is being made RIGHT NOW
I hope you made your contribution to the current Yea Forums draws if you like OC that much.
And anime and manga is being discussed like always, you would know if you watched anime or read manga. But most people who don't like current year Yea Forums probably don't partake in the Yea Forums hobby anymore.

This board has been around 15 years. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? If you're still trying to make this board better, or give posters the benefit of the doubt, then you are insane. Yea Forums is for shitposting. Nothing else.

I actually felt a pang of nausea from hearing that.
It'd be sad but at least acceptable if he moved on like the other oldfags but that's just sickening.
Reminds me of the time AoJ was banned briefly by some newfag mod for "promoting accelspam" by selling the only Accelerator shirt you could get for under $60 or so.
I wish I had the cash on hand when he was selling those delightful Korbo steins.

I'd say the problem is too many people are watching now. The fandom is very widespread but as deep as a puddle. The average retards streams on their phone and thinks they're actually watching anime.

>There is no manga discussion from these guys discussing manga but let's not count them because X reasons
There is a plenty of manga discussion. Just because they are not discussing the manga you like it doesn't mean that they are there.

>Shounenfags bringing consolewar bullshit here

>not using any capitalization

>People who confuse gatekeeping with vehemently defending shitty anime
Not sure what you're trying to say. At what point in Yea Forums's history has this board not been run by people who vehemently defended shit anime? Haruhi, Nichijou, FMP, Lucky Star, CGL, you name it. All absolute dogshit.

I love the kind of guys on the right though. They're perfect for getting cucked in NTR doujins.

>but most people who don't like current year Yea Forums probably don't partake in the Yea Forums hobby anymore.
I agree with you. Notice most of the thread is either complaining about muh sakura fish getting banned or "why are people discussing anime I don't like". Seems like they care more about this board being how they want it to be rather than actually engaging in discussion of the hobby.

Yea Forums going to shit has been good for me though. I spend less time here and more time fully enjoying the hobby by drawing, learning moon and actually watching anime and reading manga. I didn't start truly developing my own taste until I completely ignored Yea Forums's opinions.

Anonymity isn't even the problem, it's the fact that every single poster for over half a decade has made even the worst tripfags look like quality posters.
Also kill all fujos

Yea Forums has declined ever since they became mainstream and started to adopt mainstream conservative talking points and culture. Considering that conservationism is an ideology of death, it would make sense that all that it comes to kiss would also wither away and die. You chose this fate anons.

Am I a quality poster?

I can't have people see me watch anime. And I download it on my phone, at least.

Based.

shitposting is shitposting, I don't know what you're saying

Threads get derailed when someone making them mentions kissanime instead of crunchyroll or nyaa.si and mangapark instead of mangadex.
anime became seasonal supermarket shit instead of genre defining.

In layman's terms, it has become stale and oversaturated.

Anonymity wasn't a problem in the past becasue people were still wary of posting despite being anonymous. The internet has changed. Now they don't care. They realize that they can shit post to their hearts' content and nothing will happen to them. Anonymity now literally promotes shit quality. People realized there's nothing to be afraid of.

We NEED forced trips so I can filter some of the retards who spam off topic nonsense like this

At that point I had done one of my yearly fuck-offs, so I probably either wasn't around or you didn't make much of an impression on me. Regardless, the new crop of tripfags who arrived in 2011 were all pathetic trash. Bring back Meru.

/thread
You can't even namefagging without being mocked, despite it being useful to differentiate you if you make a thread.

I hope you've already said sayonara to your waifu.

Stopped reading there, 2016 cancer.

I'm not the one who starts shit (at least not intentionally), I'm simply calling them out because they're stupid.
Check a recent thread: desuarchive.org/a/thread/188526093/
It was so bad that a mod deleted 1/3 of it.

Stop shitting up /raildex/ threads you cum guzzling whore

look at the number of manga threads up right now
those threads living for a month wouldn't improve the conversation at all, really it would hurt it

What we need are flags so I can filter every single American.

I used it primarily for shitposting and attentionwhoring, which seemed to be on the uptick from 2011-2013. I got bored of it, so I stopped doing it. I managed to kick up a small fanbase, but it was all pretty superficial.

there's no hype anime anymore

every anime nowadays is based on a manga or LN, so we all now the spoilers from the beginning

the last hype anime we had was Darling in the Franxx, but that show dropped the ball so hard and turned out shit

Didn’t we already learn that Canadians were the cancer that killed Yea Forums?

EHfags

I remember when any Big 3 thread would get saged into oblivion. And when the same thing started happening to Lucky Star but the mods banned everyone.

Get out of my sight, hiatusroach

This is the problem. Anime died for the most part, so only stragglers and ironic weebs remain. People were saying anime was dead as far back as 2007-8, and it's 11 years on from then. There's NOTHING left to talk about. It's over, like Yea Forums and their dead film industry.

And that's how loli threads are now.
As I said before, even lolicons are newfags.

I don't know about "what killed the hype", but Yea Forums should mandate an IQ test before letting retards post here. And then you have to name your IQ test and your approximate percentiles on each subtest if you want any chance of being taken seriously. Then, and only then then, we can have a filtered, retard-free zone board with high quality discussions.

Does every work have to be about furthering the art form? Do works just for cheap entertainment value mean nothing? Does entertainment mean nothing? And if it means nothing, then what does it speak of humanity when we have memorialized things such as the Roman coliseum?

I don't even care about the loli thing I just hate waifufaggotry in all its forms.

You'd be filtered from the discussions you want to take part in.

It's not that it was on the uptick, it's just that post quality on the entire site massively downgraded in that era. [a/ stopped being good after 2006, died in 2008, and became a putrid festering corpse by 2011. The rise of new normalfag boards catering outside of otaku interests attracted a bad wave of people, which is why boards like Yea Forums of all places kept the spirit of Yea Forums alive. By 2009 [a/ became indistinguishable from AnimeSuki and MAL. Though even that wasn't as bad as letting actual tumblr users and underage third world children on here. Now since anime, hentai, memes and weebshit are popular with every Instagram browsing grade schooler and 20 year old minority community college student, site and anime culture has become homogenized.
When's the last time you saw Marked for Deletion (old)?

Sadly I'm aware of the baiting and the out of control replies to the baits, but the problem in the first place is that those baits rarely get moderated, if you report all the baits in a loli thread, the janny just deletes all the thread at once. This happens often, either because the janny is a newfag hating on harmless SFW lolis or a lazy faggot. Though, I personally noticed a trend since the site was split, it's not just on Yea Forums but on any board and in any thread where there is a talk about lolis suddenly at least a couple of these low effort baiters show up to stir shit up, it's more likely that someone is trying to keep the things in check, I'm not sure for what purpose, it may be related to the ads revenue or it could be a psyop, the moderation team doesn't notice what's going on, I'm really wondering how did they even get the position since on /qa/ a janny said that the recruitment process is a strict one and only capable people is allowed in the team.

The current state of seasonal anime is barely even entertaining. Maybe if you've just been introduced to anime it is but it hardly compares to older anime that didn't just tick all the boxes or have this whole cute girls crap carrying the show.

I vaguely remember you as part of the cancer generation of tripfags.

Am I the only one left representing the ‘08 - ‘09 trips? I think drt is before my generation.

People said the same shit 10 years ago and they were shouted down. Now we're here, on a board of almost nobody. The sane people all left.

>[a/

I always hated that meme.

I am a bit salty that you consider the downfall of Yea Forums starting with the year I arrived here. I don't mean to be so unlucky!

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm just lurking and reading, I haven't noticed much of a change over the years. People still post and bicker about the stupidest of shit, as they always have. I don't get involved in the stupidity as I used to, as I don't think it's as fun as it used to be, but maybe my expectations of the site are different from other people's. Regardless of what anyone uses this place for, I still think it's worlds better than other places on the internet.

Yeah I was pretty cancerous. I didn't give a single shit about tripfags or tripfagging until I picked up one myself, so I don't really know anything prior to 2012.

Triggered a lot of subhumans with that post.

>nowadays

What makes you say that?

The Hunterchad is too absorbed in Literature and Philosophy to waste their time with manchild power fantasies. We read classics - Tolstoy, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, James Joyce, Tennyson, Rilke, Goethe, William Gaddis, Julio Cortazar, Ford Madox Ford. - Proudly, there'd be no way of us not taking part in these discussions, let alone get filtered by an IQ test.

Because 99% of people here are retarded pedos.

>Being so mad cute boys get to be pure AND get the girl
Fucking cope

Yep fuck this.

Don't hate the actual name of the board. Even moot had [a/ - Anime and Manga as the title.
It's not the downfall, trust me. [a/ was completely irredeemable shit by 2009. Everything within the past decade was just further desecration of the corpse. It's not better than other places on the internet because other places on the internet (that are still somewhat relevant) have all invaded and replaced the former populace. Children whose primary entertainment is YouTube, Twitch, and Tumblr come here and transform this board into their own type of community. It's indistinguishable from the rest of the internet, from Discord servers, from YouTube comments, even from other boards. How many times do you see people going worked, seething, have sex, what did he mean by this and other non-[a/ memes, when prior to Titty Monster becoming a crossboard meme, if you used any type of non-[a/ meme you'd get crucified and told to go back?
You were barely around back then, sure as hell no mimw, Cink, TBRM, 60%, etc in terms of posts and presence.

Horo a shit but you're right. Nobody lurks 2 years before posting anymore, the other day some faggot in a jojo thread was freaking out because he couldn't write to be honest abbreviated form, that's something even people who don't visit this site know about, the poster above or below you could be someone straight out of facebook still with the facebook cookies in its browser tracking his shitposting too.

I don't remember Bleach threads getting shitposted.

Jewtube animay community and reddit

He did.

I still look at the rest of the internet, if for no other reason than because I'm always looking for the best nest to sit upon, but I still see a fair deal more quality in the userbase here than in other places. I won't postulate upon the reasons for such an opinion, as the reason would no doubt involve crossboarding opinions, but I think therein also lies the difference. I don't really hold Yea Forums any higher or lower than the rest of the Yea Forums boards. I don't frequent many other boards, or even regularly, but I do appreciate that there's a sense of "Yea Forums" everywhere I go in this place, and not just a sense of "Yea Forums." Perhaps Yea Forums is not the meme-maker it was in a decade past, but you can see simply by browsing that it is no less populous and, thus, no less relevant. You can see the pervasion of anime and manga based posters on every other boards, as anime and manga reaction images are used quite frequently everywhere on the site.

I don't see such familiarity anywhere else. Everywhere else I go, all I see is a sense of hate for everyone else. Everywhere else on the internet is just brimming with hate for anyone even slightly different than their rigid memes. As always, Yea Forums is best when it comes to freedom, not just of expression, but of impression as well.

There's too many shitposters attacking from different sides in loli threads. There's some guy posting older loli and baiting people to reply to him, there's some guy who thinks loli is prepubescent only who constantly feeds the trolls non-stop, there's constantly meta-posters who feel the need to talk about how the thread is shit and being derailed.
Why is it so difficult for people to just post and talk about little girls and ignore morons who try to derail with off-topic shit?

>blatant Yea Forumsermin format for OP
congratulations, you're in one's thread. Why the fuck haven't mods done anything? It isn't even hard to tell OP is a corssboarder

My presense was always low, but I still miss my friends Matsuda-chan, 60%, Natsume and all them. Still keep in touch with Tohno, but that’s it. Even SHiN and mimw shiposting threads had some character to them, unlike anything now.

And then the others, Matsuda, Gar Expert, iNfinity, Jake the Snake, Anonymous of Jacksonville, Manko, and all the other guys. A lot of strong personalities.

[a/ is near the bottom of the boards due to a complete lack of relevance and innovation. OC is beyond dead and has been for a literal decade. The increased populace is a negative thing if you're looking for actual quality discussion from people who know what they're talking about vs waifu shit and OH NO NO NO LOOK AT THIS DUDE-tier middle school memes. Even Yea Forums as a whole for years has hated anime reaction images and rightfully called them out on any non-weeb board, since instead of being used by actual fans they're being used by so-called ironic weebs (circa 2014) and their successor, mentally ill discord trannies.
However, thankfully [a/ failed in its attempts to actually cultivate and maintain a good userbase with equally good taste, so now you get literal shonenshit constantly on the frontpage. Any entry-level series with normalfag pandering waifus like One Piss, AoT, DBS, MHA are praised to high heaven.
There is no difference between normalfags and actual fans nowadays. Ironic weebs have the exact same tastes and mannerisms as regular anime viewers. This site has become the McDonads of anime communities in terms of users and taste.
Thankfully, [a/ dug its own grave back in 2009 and deserves the shit community it has now, as their misguided elitism compounded by their reverse-luddite love for anything and everything new while shitting on any type of older discussion as
>hurr fuck off nostalgiafag
is why I enjoy that the board has become effectively globalized and soulless. It's justice at its finest.

I hardly visit Yea Forums nowadays. Of course the first thing I see when checking for the first time this week is a meta thread.

Can we get rid of the idiots that can't understand a simple chart. Or is it just shitposting to call everything furry? If so I don't get it. It's a waste of effort either way.

Why??

At least you stay on topic here. I can't talk about vydia anymore

SEETHING zoomer detected

Jesus Christ all these tripfags to filter. No wonder this place went to shit if they're tolerated.

Enjoy societal collapse.

Tripfags should never be tolerated, but filtering doesn't solve the problem. You should harass them until they stop posting.

Giving them attention is what they desire.

I've never seen a man this right on Yea Forums.

Have you not noticed that Yea Forums is full of generals now?

Yea Forums is more Yea Forums.
slower boards and longer threads turn things sour.

just be glad you don't have it as bad as Yea Forums

Seriously cannot get myself to read through the shit on there anymore. This place is a lot more tame, even if its still trash.

I like Yea Forums as blue Yea Forums.

Nah, because what tripfags did was make their own vent/irc/skype groups and circlejerk together to shitpost with one another. Some tripfags even responded to their own posts as anonymous with different IPs. Not to mention how back when threads were automatically deleted after 5 reports, they would auto-report all on-topic threads with a script to make sure that only their shitposting threads would stay on top.
Of course, that was last decade and now those dead programs have been replaced on Discord, but the same still applies. Filtering is not a solution, it's being confrontational and scaring them off of here, which is easy enough to do if they leave a big enough trail of breadcrumbs.

sticky this mods

General threads, not a single one is good. They're as bad as /vg/ ones which are all atrocious.

What do you think caused the rise of generals?

Yea Forums is unironically a decent "anything-goes" board at certain times. They're terrible for actually discussing games (even if they were good 10+ years ago, and I miss that), but their random threads can have decent discussion.

Women and minorities

The shitposting illuminati.
Not even joking. There are organized groups dedicated to destroying Yea Forums. It's a sport to them.

Kill yourself boomer, your time is long gone.

Right now? if so, probably because it's US after-work time and newfag US jannys with an agenda infiltrated the ranks. Who is watching the watchers?

Maybe if you're a shitposter who doesn't go to the actual games threads.
"I only come here to shitpost xD" are fags shitting up every board.

nintendo fan detected

>actual games threads
I'll challenge you to name ten made in the past week.

Code Geass overtook the board, so Strike Witches faggots made generals.
