    So moot might be splitting anime and manga this week, your thoughts? I'm making sure to hit night, late night, morning, lunch, afternoon, then early evening posting times to get gauge the reactions to this decision.

    the manga part seems to be such a small part of /a/ that I don't mind it being a single board. I don't really read much manga, but sometimes get interested seeing the discussions. Well, there's a mecha board so why not a manga board. The big3manga discussions would have to move there as well, so that's kind of a plus.

    If this is legit, then why don't you just fucking wait until moot makes the sticky? Now, you're just contributing to shit.

    Since a sticky tends to stick around longer, making these threads that he probably won't even read is a moot point.

    I don't think it will work the way you want it to. Further balkanization will only drive people further away.

    /jp/ was an attempt to make us better. It failed spectacularly due to many variables that couldn't have been taken into consideration.

    I don't agree with another split, I'd rather have more active moderation and better posters.

    >Split up the board: Following 2chan's lead with Nijiura, /b/ would be seperated in to several boards. 2chan presently has six Nijiura boards. Providing two versions of /b/—one with named posting enabled, and one with forced anonymity, is also an idea. One major concern with this proposal is that it would further spread out our already overtaxed moderation staff. Obviously, we can add more moderators, but that's always proved far easier said than done.

    Doing this would be brilliant, and also applying this same concept to /a/ by splitting the boards is also good. Follow the 2chan example, it works out perfectly.

    The /b/-/r9k/ split went to shit because there are no mods to moderate what belongs in /b/ and what belongs in /r9k/ (originality, I guess).

    moot himself confessed that, and now it seems he's ignoring that fact again for another split that isn't really needed.

    It needs to be split by genre/demographic.

    Link me to your thread that is getting burried.

    If you want to discuss an obscure manga nobody else reads you shouldn't be surprised when you get few replies.

    More popular manga like Vinland Saga, Shigurui or Gantz always get discussed when a new chapter comes out. Obviously the big three also get their threads.

    Changing it by demographic is a bigger change, that while does get closer to our brothers at 2ch, is not necessary as things stand right now, since it would generate 5 or more boards instead of 2.

    The anime/manga split is a solid and consistent split that will give the mangafags the chance to discuss what they can't right now, and will work until 4chan gets even bigger.

    Now tell me, why is it then that VNs are still discussed in /a/? Why is it that people treat /a/ and /jp/ as two separate boards, with two different cultures, and that you should visit one or the other, but not both?

    It's because people tired of /a/'s shit went to /jp/, and people tired of /jp/ shit stayed in /a/.
    There are still VN threads in /a/ because they don't want to go to /jp/ for them, because /jp/'s userbase is too different from /a/'s userbase in a way they don't like.

    What we need are mods that get rid of unrelated shit on the various boards. Mods that aren't made mods because they're moot's personal friends, or because they've fucked moot in bed and he gave them favors.

    We don't need more board splits, they won't do shit. We just need more mods doing what mods need to do.

    No, it doesn't.

    But this has something to do with significantly less people reading manga.

    If you want to discuss manga, start threads about it. Interesting threads, with a proper topic, else people won't discuss it unless it's a manga about fanservice which only needs pics to be posted in order to be successful. If you think the manga isn't popular try to introduce people to it.

    Why split the board when we could get more moderators to clean up the mess or have people who post better in threads?
    Less threads about the same old shit.
    More posters having actual discussions instead of "MY TASTE > YOUR SHIT TASTE", "[MOE/SHOUNEN/NEW/SUMMER]fag detected", "sure is summer", "trolls trollan trolls", "lol so randum XD", "Why don't you have a girlfriend?", "There isn't a ___ thread on the front page, so let's change that", etc. We could have actual discussion about things that happen in anime/manga/light novels if we tried to. Even speculation about what's going to happen. All in a civilized way.
    Trolls? Most are nothing more than shitposters and will shit up both boards if there's a divide. There are good trolls, but there are far more terrible ones.

    This board would be far better if there was some sort of way to improve the posters and lose the closed-mindedness of idiots here while retaining a good sense of elitism/getting people to stop being so lazy.

    But now that some time has passed since the last thread and I had some time to think about it, I see how futile these threads are, I can see some people don't want it and are loudly voicing their opinions, but it is going to happen sooner or later, I really do doubt the authenticity of OP's post, but I believe it won't take more than one or 2 years until some serious changes happen around here.

    The only thing that is an indisputable fact is that this site grows, FAST, and it won't take long until we reach /b/ traffic, this is a fact, following suit on 2ch step of having more boards is only natural, it will happen someday.

    Luckily for you animefags, moot is lazy as fuck, it has been years since THAT news post, and I think even if moot decided on splitting this shit, he would give you fags a whole lot of years to let you get accustomed with the idea.

    I really think moot should do that one thing he said a while back: split /b/ into 2 boards, one with permanent forced anon. This should be done by deleting /b/ entirely and replacing it with two new boards.

    How does this help /a/? 75% of the trolls/shitposters/spammers here are kiddies who stroll in from /b/ when it bores them. Whichever board a fag like that chooses to post in... the other one would become the new place to go when bored. This would probably help all smaller boards in general. Also could be good for mixing up the general culture of the board.

    Splitting /a/, especially into anime and manga boards when half of anime are based on manga anyway... just not a good idea. /ma/ would be good for about a week before it went to shit, and /a/ would just get even worse.

    If you want some place to run away from the shit in /a/, make an /a2/. Making a board for /ma/nga will do nothing, as people will still consider /a/ to be Anime/General, and post it in /a/ anyway. Just as they do already with VNs.

    Seriously, all you do is shit post threads. You've never once given a reason for why an anime and manga split would ever help for anything, and care about nothing but people spamming W00000t!!! DO ITT!!!!! MORE BOARDS!!!!

    It is moot's site. He can do with it as he pleases. Fortunately, he cares about this site, and isn't interested in just making a profit off of it or reaping teh lulz off teh newfags.

    I have never said anything that suggested I own this site, halfwit. All I've been saying is that another board split won't help anything, and that if he really wants to help the board, he should get more mods. Preferably ones that are addicted to 4chan to the extent they browse it constantly.

    Yeah, because the last split worked out so well, right? If you had been around back then you wouldn't say such nonsense.

    The same kind of people who come here maybe once per week or so and then think they could instantly have an awesome thread about some obscure shit, most likely without even starting a proper thread with a good topic, were responsible for the /jp/ split.

    BAAAAWWW WE CAN'T DISCUSS OUR DEEP AND MATURE ANIME AND MANGA BECAUSE OF ALL THE VN AND TOUHOU CONTENT, AFTER THE SPLIT EVERYTHING WILL BE BETTER AND EVEN LESSER KNOWN SHOWS WILL GET DISCUSSED

    is what they said.

    Where are these people now? I bet they're not even here any more. I told them so. I told them it wouldn't work out BEFORE the split.

    I see the very same arguments again, the same kind of people (most likely different individuals though). Seriously, get the fuck out.

    Cause if get split boards the things that are both anime and manga will be posted interchangably in both boards (manga pages in the anime board and anime screenshots in the manga board). There is a reason why this board is anime AND manga because for all intents and purposes they are the same fucking thing.

    See, this logic applies only to the people who read manga related to anime. There is a lot more manga out there then anime and saying they are both closely related is not giving either medium the respect they deserve.

    Oh you.

    Advantages:

    - Anime board may slow down a bit. (the possibility is there, but I doubt it.)

    Disadvantages:
    - There are a LOT of unknown variables in this.
    - Trolls would shit over both boards (assumption.)
    - Big 3 would still be discussed on both boards, with people more inclined to shitpost in both (assumption.)
    - Increased moderation needed to cover both boards (the same number of mods that could be filled in for helping to make /a/ a little less unbearable)
    - I-it's not like moot is actually going to do this or anything, baka! (tsundere /a/non.)

    The story itself doesnt change too much between the manga and anime, and if they do it becomes the talking point. Cause if you discuss any of those things in your image, just becomes a thread about QUALITY. For example, the spam of Naruto threads for example.

    No, it doesn't. About 85% of anime are based on a manga or novel. Many popular manga will become anime at some point. The majority of the board does both. No one is getting alienated. They ARE the same thing separated by movement.

    A split would be good, especially since the manga board would be slower. Shonen Jump readers would notice that there already is a thread for them when new chapters are out, the potential for discussing something less popular would increase since it would take longer for a thread to get bumped off the board and you would actually be able to go through all the pages without threads from page 1 being on page 5 before page 2 loads.

    As to your other point, while there are more manga than there are anime, the fact that a lot of anime are tied with a manga is reason enough to not split the boards. Have you ever considered that no one is discuss your obscure manga because no one wants to? I've started threads about anime that no one has replied to. Would creating a new board for say pre-2005 anime make people discuss Vision of Escaflowne or Utena, or Saint Seiya. No why? Because people have already talked about them or don't want to talk about them. If people want to talk about super obscure manga they will.

    Like I've said, there are many lengthy threads for Good Ending, etc. There was a good lengthy thread for Bitter Virgin that made me read it. The point is, there are more anime threads than manga threads not because there is a lot of traffic, but because no on wants to talk about obscure manga x,y,z

    /jp/ → VN's, shmups (Touhou), fighting games, Japanese (Otaku) popular culture, &c.

    In case you couldn't tell, splitting the boards is retarded. Only the people that think they are the 4chan police and that only what they like should be talked about wants a split.

    >>37304256

    The answer is: No you can't, Manga never has or ever will have enough content to warrant a split. The only reason /jp/ was formed was to contain the Touhou apocalypse that was slowly consuming every thread on /a/.

    The ONLY good thing I can see with this is to get the good manga threads far away from the very shitty image dumps that the anime side invokes every other thread.

    No, they wouldn't because they're fucking idiots.

    There usually is a thread on the front page on a release day, or at least on one of the first few pages, but they don't bother with it because they're idiots.

    Why do you think would that change on a manga board? The problem isn't the manga they like (which, sucks, but there are plenty of other things which suck too), but the fans. They're a demographic filled with plenty of newfags.

    >the potential for discussing something less popular would increase
    Again, you keep mentioning "less popular" things, make it more specific. Name some titles which you couldn't discuss. I've had plenty of threads about less popular manga. And I've got plenty of suggestions from /a/. Unlike the average fanservice anime/manga, you can't simply post a couple of pictures and have a fun thread. Something more serious needs a good topic, and many of said topics have already been discussed in the past.

    >I don't see a reason not to split them.
    Because it takes variety out of /a/, makes it less interesting and more boring. The /jp/ split already did its part. /a/ was much more enjoyable back then.

    The /jp/ split was to contain the Touhou threads, the Japanese culture threads were never enough of a nuisance to warrant the split on their own. Meanwhile, Touhou highjacks were occurring every other thread, leaving the board littered with imagedumps.

    It was blown way out of proportion, it wasn't nearly as annoying as spam nowadays.

    What did we gain because of the split? Nothing. We've only lost VNs and Light Novels as discussion material. Tounou hijacks simply became gore/goku/whatever spam.

    Yet /v/ is fully capable of having threads about obscure games.

    How do they do it?

    I've had daily Bloodlines threads on /v/ for a while, countless threads about Fallout, Baldur's Gate, even a massive thread about the fucking Microsoft Flight Simulator (which derailed a bit into flight sims general).

    If /v/ can do it, /a/ can do it too.

    I think it has more something to do with /v/'s "mature" kind of audience, is more mature than /a/'s "mature" kind of audience. They don't get discouraged as easily when a thread fails, and know how to properly start threads to make them interesting.

    They are similar enough to warrant being on the same board. The main topics of discussions surrounding the two mediums are primarily story, characters, and art neither of which change significantly (in terms overall themes) between the two mediums. If the board was more focused on discussing the production of said mediums you might have a point about them being different warranting a split, but that isn't the focus of the board so your point is worthless.

    I never claimed /a/ didn't.

    I was responding primarily to people who kept referring to some unknown "obscure manga", which they were unable to discuss in the past.

    The /v/ example was mainly meant to disprove the argument that a board's speed had something to do with it.

    You are so much of an idiot even your argument against the split ends showing up more points towards it.

    Nice pointing out there is no manga thread in the front page, because there is no space try making a thread about an unknown manga and not imagedumping on it to see what happens, they get flushed in the sea of anime threads.

    Assuming the manga board would be dead is pure wishful thinking of you, not only there is more mangafags here on /a/ then regulars on /jp/ , but there are plenty of people on other boards willing to discuss manga but keep away from /a/ to avoid retards like you.

    And my last question still stands, if you believe manga is so irrelevant to /a/, why are you against the split, if it is as you say /a/ wouldn't change one fucking bit.

    There is far more manga than there is anime. This is a fact. There isn't a shortage of content when it comes to manga and there are plenty of manga thread through out the day. The only difference is that anime is more popular, and since most of them run weekly keeping up and discussing them is easier.

    However that doesn't create a necessity for a new board for reasons explained a million times in this thread.

    How can you say that mang? Do you watch anime in mute? does the seiyuu and ost mean nothing to you? All of this different elements that aren't in manga make animation a different art form comics. I really am speechless here.

    And that has exactly nothing to do with how much of it is discussed or how many people discuss it.

    Facts:

    - /v/ manages to discuss obscure games perfectly fine despite the greater amount of newfags, trolling and shit
    - The /jp/ split didn't help at all. We've lost VNs and traded Touhou-hijacks against gorespam.
    - You claim you were unable to discuss manga in here, but I have yet to see you post a specific title which you were unable to discuss in the past.

    Thing is, a lot of the obscure titles have even been discussed to death, or people read them(if they arent currently serialized) so long ago that the thought to post them doesn't cross their mind.

    Every time i've seen a nijigahara hologram(or is it holograph?) thread it gets a lot of interesting posts. The thing with obscure manga and anime is, there just isn't the same replay value that a good but obscure videogame has. Even more so if its something like fallout, which has many options to explore that you can do multiple play throughs to have.

    Games also have a lot of easter eggs and side quests and stuff that due to when you played it and your relative age/maturity at the time, you didnt really notice. Anime and manga can sort of have that but its not the same.

    If you want to see how "obscure" manga threads go, make a 20th century boys thread. It will get some discussion. It may not reach bump or image limit, but it will be up and discussed for hours if it is started in a way that allows anywhere near active discussion.

    Theres no need for an anime board and manga board alone. Having each singular hinders adaptation discussion and makes trolling easier.

    That won't accomplish anything but butthurt and the board ends up even worse.

    It is unnecessary and stupid to even entertain the idea right now. /a/ has a zillion problems but not one of them is related to anime vs. manga. Fix the actual problems first rather than risking the creation of new ones.

    Exactly my point.

    I often see people start threads about some obscure manga without providing a topic of discussion.

    Just some pic, "[obscure manga] is awesome, rite guise?!".

    I reply: "Yeah, you're right."., maybe two or three guys do the same and the thread is over.

    People can't expect others to come up with a topic of discussion. This works out for generic fanservice drivel, where just a few cute pics are enough to keep a thread going, but manga which heavily relies on plot needs a real topic worthy of discussion.

    Make it Luffy spam then or whatever. The habit of ruining other people's threads by spamming them hasn't changed.

    Personally, I consider spam the worst thing 4chan has ever come up with. Trolling might derail a thread, but at least it fuels discussion. Spam on the other hand is just destructive. And I don't care if it's only big3 threads or some other shit getting spammed. This shit is absolutely unacceptable. How am I going to make sure some big3 moron isn't going to spam my LOGH thread? How are we going to have discussions in the future?

    No, no it doesn't, if you had a brain and maybe a set of eyes to read my post, you would realize this.

    Because you would make one useless board that would utterly void any useful discussion on Manga in general. Do you think what few Manga threads we have get posts in them by remaining completely unseen on /a/? The only reason they probably get any posts at all is because of the people on /a/.

    The rest of your post is one big batch of hurr durr.

    we even archive one of the first manga thread of the year in /lit/, but mod didnt put it in the archive (it was when Lit only had 3 threads on the 4chanarchive), we start talking about lone wolf and Cub, and end it with a disscussion about tezuka and other artist.

    Here's the thing, /v/ that has at least twice the amount of traffic /a/ has can have good video game discussions about obscure rpg, adventure game x, y, and z.

    There is no need to discuss manga on /co/ or /lit/. The people complaining about /a/ being shit are a bunch of butthurt babies that need to grow up.

    But Fallout and Baldurs Gate are almost the opposite of obscure? They just require the posters to be of a certain age perhaps but it's the same as posting about older but well known anime here.

    It's not that a manga board would be the place of super obscure stuff almost no one has read but a board dedicated especially to manga obviously increases the amount of manga that can be discussed. That it would be Big 3 and Berserk on every page is hard to believe.

    Yea, you forgot the heart and daily kubo discussion threads.

    There would also occasionally be a post on lucifer and the biscuit hammer as well as negima and medaka box or some shit.

    Look, Moot already fractured the anime and manga community. Porn based on it is split into like 3 different boards. Theres yaoi and yuri, which are both anime and manga boards, theres also /c/, and /w/ that are both anime and manga.

    Would yuri and yaoi manga be allowed on the manga board? Or would we need a yuri manga and yaoi manga board to go along with it? As well as cute manga board?

    It would just make shit more confusing for the content that has specialist boards and where it goes. We don't need a split. We need better discussion and more moderation. That is all.

    Troika games like Bloodlines or Arcanum were pretty obscure. Now they're somewhat well known on /v/, but this took quite a few threads.

    With obscure manga the same has to be done. If you see nobody participates in your discussion (under the premise you provided a good topic), you have to introduce people to the manga of your choice.

    I only see a manga board taking more of /a/'s variety.

    /v/ proves that despite a great amount of shit it's still possible to have good threads once in a while, so I don't see why /a/ would be incapable of it.

    I wouldn't want /v/ to split either. I like the variety, and despite me being a PC gamer I still enjoy getting the whole bandwidth of information, including console games, console wars, and whatelse, simply because I could else miss something enjoyable. I can ignore the things I don't like and only post in the threads which interest me.

    The very assumptions the post you replied to was talking about.

    Since you seem to be a little more knowledgeable about this issue then the rest of the rabble, let me entertain you for a bit with some ideas.

    I agree with your point that /a/ has other problems of more urgency, and /a/ could easily solve them with more moderation, the thing is that is not possible, every single time moot comes here we ask for more moderation and he says he is working on it and how hard it is to gather new janitors/mods, I also fucking wish I could live in a world where moot could buy half of Mexico and put all those people to moderate 4chan, but it just isn't possible and moot has told time and again that putting someone he doesn't know in an important position almost always lead to disaster.

    Since we can't have a battalion of mods, we have then to think of palliative ways to deal with the ever-growing population of 4chan, one of them being board splitting, which is just the natural way of following the footsteps from futaba.

    The only reason why I believe moot considers board-splitting a possibility for and and not other boards, such as /v/ or /b/ is because he believes the /a/ community is more intelligent and would be able to better adapt to new changes and make the best of them, I wish to believe this too even though these threads almost always prove the contrary.

    Let's work with just facts, and not opinions, shall we? 4chan is growing up day by day, fact. The speed of /a/ is coming dangerously close from the traffic of /b/ and /v/, fact. The spectrum of interest of the /a/ user is diffuse, we have a lot of people interested in one single subject and a smaller group of people intersted in a range of subjects, fact.

    Now about the split itself, will /a/ become a better board in case we split it? I don't fucking know, there is absolutely no way for us to know how it will turn out because this is completely different from the /jp/ split, it could be better, it could be worse, but my final point is that doing something that is COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE and see how it goes beats the shit out of sitting in our asses doing nothing.

    /m/ contains all things mecha, including mecha anime, mecha games, mecha figures, etc. concentrating it in one board makes sense, because fans of it else had to visit various different boards for it.

If it makes /a/ loose variety it's only becuase the total variety of 4chan would increase with a whole new board. You could read both you know.
