Upgrade? I just browse and post where I feel like, why does everything have to be tiered?

>>59642782
/v/ to /a/. Or just stay at /a/.

/v/ is horrible.

They're both shit.

I don't know what you mean
I post where the fuck I want
I do come from /v/ thought

/v/ started a lot of shit like implying, greentext stories, and other stuff that used to not be allowed on /a/. Now people do it all the time here. So figure it out.

>>59642866
traitor

/b/ -> /a/ -> /jp/ -> Gensokyo

>upgrade

Most people upgrade from /v/ to /a/.
Only figuratively of course. Meaning they've regularly played video games before they regularly watched anime.

So, anyway, who are we going to the ball with?

>>59642782
I went from /b/ to /v/ to /a/, starting from about 2006 and ending up at /a/ in early 2011.

/tg/ -> /a/ (don't ask) and /g/

/a/ to /v/

But only if they like animu. I don't, so I'm still here.

op is a lame retread of a thread the janitor deleted >>59639754

I come from /v/ because /a/ at least has a sense of integrity and standards for their hobby (usually)

>>59643069
There is no ball, it's all made up faggot
I'm just going to play some video games, I suggest you watch anime or whatever it is you do.

>>59643096
I hate this shit, people see this and think "OH LOL I GUESS IS OK TO ASK /v/ OFF TOPIC SHIT"
fucking cancer

>>59642782
I went /b/ -> /a/ -> /v/ -> /fa/, /sp/, /ck/, /adv/, /int/ -> fuck 4chan i'm outta this shithole -> /a/

Board loyalty is pretty gay, though.

>>59643011
/b/>/a/
once in a great while there will be a quality thread on /b/, and it will be glorius, however we have semi quality threads on /a/ each night, but they are not quite as good as those that are on /b/.

>>59643096
/v/ - allowing being offtopic
/a/ - not putting up with bad posting

/a/lpha as fuck

>>59643140
/v/ is a shitty board anyway.

>>59643096
http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/51453313/
I love the part where they editied out OP bumping his thread ten times in a row

I browse both /a/ and /v/. I started browsing them at the same time (when I left /b/ and explored the other boards), and continue to browse them both, depending on what mood I'm in.

Neither is an upgrade over another, because they cover different subjects entirely and exist alongside each other on the same site. Calling one board an upgrade over another would be like saying the tires on your car are an upgrade over the steering wheel. Even though it might be pretty neat to use a tire for a steering wheel, in the end it doesn't make any sense.

>>59643069

I don't know about you faggot but I will play vidya that day
if you want you can come with me

Like many, if /a/ is down or shittier than usual, I go to /v/. If both are down or shittier than usual, I go to /x/

I straddle, although I visited /v/ more before I visited /a/, but I started to regular around the same time.
I've been aware of both for many many years.

>>59643157

You know that it's not 2005 anymore, right?

>>59643182
No, fuck you
/v/ has plenty of good threads and people

>>59643136
>>59643208
/v/ is so tsundere.

/v/ to /a/. Truthfully though, it's practically impossible to always stay at just one though, if you like both those subjects.

The boards go so well together because they both provide the same thing - mostly mindless, purely hedonistic entertainment. Might be serious sometimes, but people into it generally aren't looking for these to try to be serious media.

Sort of like how one doesn't tend to actually take video games 100% seriously, as in for example you aren't in the same mindset when playing a game that you are when watching Schindler's List.. anime also provides entertainment without the authors trying to preach messages/opinions or make statements etc. After all, pure base entertainment lacks the need for you read between the lines or give some serious reactions to it. We aren't always looking to be emotionally bruised by sad stories etc, we just want to have fun.

Granted you can find this same kind of fix in normal TV and movies, but for our kind, it tends to be pretty much unwatchable, since watching actual people act unrealistically stupid just makes you feel stupid to even watch. Watching unrealistic (2D) people being possibly quite unrealistic though, doesn't set off the same reaction in your head. Similarly you don't actually take Shephard's story that seriously (well unless you're one of those Tali people), you're just in for the ride.

So yeah, that's a bit of why we are forever bros, but also why we don't really need to force ourselves one way or the other because it's the same basal drive that's put us here to begin with.

i went from /b/ > /c/ > /a/ > /v/ >/jp/(told them all to fuck off one day and got rid of my name/trip) > /a/

Seriously fuck those guys

>>59643300
No, it's the third worst board on 4chan. It's only better than /b/ and /soc/ because it's impossible to be worse than either of them. People who play video games are by far some of the worst people on the internet.

>>59643384
> third worst board
that's either /jp/, /fa/, or /vp/

I wish I could upgrade myself to a trap.

;_;

It went /e/ => /c/ => /g/ => /sci/ => /a/ for me.
(the /g/ period lasted several years)

>>59643363

You say it like you can actually hold a conversation about video games at /v/ without it being flooded with shitposting faggots.

>>59643371
I wish you would pick up your trip again so I could filter you.

Go to /v/ to talk about Anime.

Come to /a/ to get charts and see what's popular.

Introduced to /b/ in Winter 2005 stay there for quite some time-> /b/Day happens, shuffled off to 7chan internment camps, live on their /mu/ -> return to 4chan, 4chan implements its own /mu/ live there -> /mu/ turns shitty go to /v/ -> increasingly less interest in video games and less tolerance for /v/'s horse shit come to /a/

I'm pretty sure I've been to /v/ less than 10 times. Never been interested. /mu/ has been shit for the past few months as well, and I haven't touched /b/ in almost three years. You guys are the ones I can count on.

>>59643658
You know, when I started browsing 4chan there was no talk about "cancer".

>>59643694
>Reporting me because I lurk multiple boards.

Sure is pathetic in here.

>>59643714
When people were primitive people thought the weather was caused by angry sky daddies as well.

/v/ has much more shitposting than /a/, and if you actually try to get good at the games that are common on /v/ you can take 99% of the /v/ community after like 1 month spent playing the game if you train up right


/a/ has shit posting but there are threads about a lot of anime all the time, and generally has more quality per page

The discussion is also much more civil here despite there still begins some faggots. Only every once in a blue moon can /v/ provide discussion on /a/s level and those discussions usually abound in extremely civil nintendo threads *which is rare, the nintendo threads usually get trolled to hell*

>>59643011
I think this is quite accurate.

that's reason enough to report you

I was a fa/tg/uy first, no idea why I came here. Oh god I wish I could leave

>>59643462
Well, that's why my kneejerk reaction was to say people move from /v/ -> /a/.

As far as board quality goes, /v/ is usually between worse to a goddamn lot worse. As far as my favorite subjects vs board quality goes, they rank like this:

/a/ - major interest, so-so board quality, so I'm here a lot. Usually is good but it's really annoying having to deal with the newer people who haven't wizened up yet. As you know more about the medium and what to do, you tend to just lurk more rather than post, making a lot of the most talkative people some of the least-qualified to have good discussions. After all, it's the analpained children who are hyper-anti-moe/loli etc who feel compelled to speak, because they are being overly-defensive since they can tell this is not their kind's territory. If you're ok with basically any kind of show, you just ignore those conversations (unless you're YotsubaC), and so we see an ultra-vocal minority sometimes shitting on otherwise decent discussion nonstop because few bother to shut them up. After all, they'll simply learn with time, so no need to waste the breath on them.

/v/ - somewhat major interest, but the board is annoying to use both because it's too fast, and there's too many off topic discussions (and raging fanbois/haters of all kinds), so I'm not there for more than an hour a day at most.

/jp/ - major interest, has some of the best discussion threads on 4chan, but they are tucked in between most of the worst, so if there aren't the few decent threads around then I fucking hate being here; if there are good threads then I just ignore the shitty ones and love it. I wanted /jp/ to be good ever since split, but the permanent divide over various factions for content/direction leaves it inherently unstable. It's like grouping up a bunch of small unrelated tribes and forcing them to live as one country, it was bound for trouble.

>Upgrade
There's no real "upgrading" to be had. The different boards are almost like seperate communities at this point, all you're doing is changing what you talk about the most.

thats weird i went /w/,/b/,/a/

That's usually how it goes. /v/ is fucking horrible, but don't pretend /a/ is any better. There is no upgrade. The moment you started browsing 4chan you were downgraded as a human being.

and so did I ;_;

/a/ is the best because accelerator

/g/ --> /v/ --> /a/

my main draw to 4chan was pretty much lolis and computers I went to /v/ for a short time by chance and was linked to /a/ because of a porn thread they had up

8 months ago, the Constanza meme was shunned as much as emoticons.

Not it's a common sight. The quality of all boards go down over time, because the population of all boards go up with time.

>>59643815
>awshitniggerfuckinfivestarpost.jpg

There's lot of stupidity on /a/, but as for 4chan level it isn't a bad board. I'd say it's somewhere on level of /tg/ or a bit below - surprisingly /a/ knows its shit and if you like to be fuck to all other you'll find nice things here.

/v/ on the other hand is unbearable, it's one of those boards that are really retarded.

I like how over exaggerated it is when people call /v/ shit. The funniest complaint is that there are generals. I mean sure LoL and E-Sports are shit but people are even complaining about generals that are not 24/7 like Skyrim or Dark Souls. Now people are complaining about KS even though the hype will die down in a month. You're all a bunch of faggots.

>>59644190
>now it's a common sight.

I blame /sp/ and /v/ for the general decline of 4chan. Nobody gives a shit about /b/ anymore, theyvre confined themselves to their little hole now. Those two boards spread their shit everywhere.

unfortunately i am wrong

>>59644190

Why is this a bad thing?

>>59644231
Because /a/ has not once complained of generals.

>/a/ hates /v/
>/v/ is still secretly gay for /a/

This is going to sound really homo but I have always had wanted to give every poster on /a/ a huge hug for some reason

It's not an exaggeration.

Sports vidya are saged and sent to /sp/, every thread about vidya ends in trolling, it's too fast and it's horribly off topic.

I used /a/ and /v/ both togather when I joined. Needless to say I just use /a/ and /m/ and don't go there anymore. None of those faggots like vidya games and they for sure don't like the ones I like.

>>59644369

This, half the posters get pissed if you use weeb shit reaction images.

/v/ and /a/ used to be parallel boards that liked a lot of the same stupid shit but hated each other with a certain sense of irony.

/a/ hasn't really changed but /v/ has gone to complete shit. Too many faggots who ACTUALLY LIKE esports, MMOs, and FPSs.

I've been on /a/ /m/ and /v/ for years now.

>>59644286

This, this, this.
And i am from /sp/, that board needs a nazi mod like /tg/, it needs a purge.

>>59642782

/v/ to /a/, that's how I came here, and if it was before 2007 you had to cross from /b/ first

I feel like /a/ has almost no offtopic but the quality of an average anime/manga thread is low while /v/ has a lot of offtopic and flat out troll threads but the quality of an average video game thread is high.

>actually going to /b/

Wat. I can't remember how I reach here but I would never go to /b/. That shit is terrible

>>59644637

I meant to say at least medium. High on average is saying too much.

I've stayed on /a/ as a constant board the entire time I've been on 4chan. I've looked at /b/, /jp/, /v/, and /c/ on occasion though, not much longer than a week. Nothing quite amuses me like you faggots

>>59644331

You now realize it's the other way around as well. Go on /v/ and watch how much /v/ seems to hate weeaboo shit and JRPGs. /v/ is split from people who hate anime and people who do not.

I went from /cm/ --> /cgl/ --> /a/

I know, you can all laugh at me.

/v/ is just a sideboard I occasionally go to out of boredom, but I could never call it my home like /a/

>/a/
>any better than /v/
holy shit is this your guys' first time on /a/?

>>59644231

The last few times I've used /v/ it had a endless Lol, HoN, Wow threads etc going. In those Lol/Hon etc threads it was nothing but recounting experiences that we've all had hundreds of times, complaining about shit team mates, asking idiot tier questions about builds and then the 'skin' and micro transaction faggots. I'm sure most of us have played dota in the past, but those threads...had nothing of value in them.

Only flavour of the month new releases seemed to have any new content in them, very much like /a/ once it's been gone through we abandon the topic as it's already discussed. But that doesn't happen in /v/ probably because the new content is often months apart before the next new hit.

>>59644722
>Go on /v/ and watch how much /v/ seems to hate weeaboo shit and JRPGs

I believe those guys are /v/'s local normalfags. Those who shouldn't be there.

>>59644759

Is this YOUR first time on /a/?

/b/ -> /h/ -> /b/ -> /a/.

both boards are fucking terrible and hate everything related to the topic of the board they post on

>>59644773

That's the difference between animation and interactive. You can talk about vidya for far longer then you can about anime. It just sucks how some vidya like LoL is staying and becoming a total circle jerk. And DOTA 2 is coming out at some point which is going to god damn suck for us.

/b/ > /a/ > /g/ > /jp/ >/m/

/b/ -> /c/ -> /a/

I got sick of /b/ after a few months, accidentally clicked on /c/ one day, and completely fell in love with anime art style. Don't really remember my exact thought process but I eventually started coming to /a/ and started to watch anime. I never really cared for /v/.

I feel like almost every thread that just attempts to just discuss a series on /a/ ends up with a lot of immature MY TASTES ARE BETTER THAN YOUR TASTES and moefaggots storming into manly threads and manlyfaggots storming into moe threads.

On /v/ most video game related threads only receive some of those idiots unless it's a flat out Nintendo/Sony/MS/PC thread or a thread about a 1st party Nintendo game. /v/ has way too many metathreads though.

I migrate from /m/ to /a/.

>>59644818

You haven't been on /v/ in awhile have you? People literally make up excuses for Dark Souls so it can sound less JRPGish and more WRPGish.

>>59644980

>>59644980

> /v/

I've tried to look at that site but I saw only inane comments.

>>59644818
That's how people might have thought of it in 2008.

Nowadays, that is the average /v/irgin. Tasteless normalfags. It's awful. There really needs to be a separate board for esports and online gaming, it would at least fix part of the problem.

I think /v/ to /a/

sense vidya probably got a lot of people into animu

/b/ to /a/.

>>59644660
Yeah, even in 2005 when I first discovered 4chan, I always hated /b/. It was never good. Or rather you have to sit there for hours to see one actually interesting thread, after wading through thousands of threads no sensible human should remotely give a shit about. Only children, and the mentally-underage, are legitimately consistently entertained by thousands of shitty porn/advice/shocker content/tired memes/posting games/conspiracy bullshit threads.

Generally if someone likes being on /b/, he likely doesn't have much of any strong hobbies or creative drives, braindead in other words. Or you're just a kid thinking that looking at gore threads and random porn somehow makes you edgy or mature.

A long time ago /b/ used to have discussions about all kinds of tangential stuff, I mean if you could think of /a/, /v/, /sci/, /tg/ etc all being on the same board, that'd be pretty kickass wouldn't it? You'd never want to leave? Well, /b/ was never actually really like that, but, it was more like that in the far past than it is now. The advent of so many topical boards over the years has left very very little left for /b/ to cling onto, that is why it will basically always be shit from now on because it runs on nothing but its own hype, and on lowlife shit not dignified enough to get its own boards.

Even if /v/ had the best community known to man, I would never go there because I don't like playing video games.

>>59644609
Look at my cap. Look at the post number, Now go on /v/ and look at the current post number of a thread.

Since 2010 /v/ has had 2 times it's number of posts since its inception, which I can only extrapolate as an increase in activity, i.e. new users.

>>59642782
/b/ -> /g/ -> /a/

/c/, /u/ and /jp/ I occasionally view

also /v/ is shite

no, it's from /b/ to some other board
also, there's no rule that says you can only browse one board

Only good part of /v/ left is SMT General.

/b/ for a week, /v/ for a month about one year ago, /d/ all day everyday

/v/ comes over to /a/ and shits the place up, and then brings back some /a/ stuff to /v/ and shits /v/ up as well, if that's what you mean

In the beginning I went to /b/ when it was mostly just funny threads involving anime and old memes like happy negro. It was honestly all about fun instead of camwhores, CP, gore and racism. After /a/ was made I started frequenting it and later /v/, don't remember if I went there from the start or not. From then till now I've only frequented /a/ and /v/. Never other boards.

I visit /a/ and /v/

>>59645137
Jesus Christ how did I not notice that happening?

>>59645220
>Only good part of 4chan left is SMT General.
Fixed.

I go to /v/ for the non vidya threads.

I went from /a/ to /jp/ and then back to /a/.

>>59644918

I'm playing dota 2 currently. It's like playing bnet in 06, asshole leaving at complete random, afk entire game, no team work etc. But it's in beta so I shouldn't complain just yet, it's done what Lol and Hon did, take some suggestions and build them in. Feels slightly slower than dota currently.

I've never played Hon or Lol because I'm a faggot purist who played wc3 for far too long to give many fucks about two games I consider commercial knock offs.

I have no idea OP but I want all these "feel" /v/irgins who came here because of KS to leave.

Shirt should explain enough...

Always swing by /tg/, /m/ and /g/ occasionally.

>>59645065

And that's the problem with /v/.

>>59644980

/v/ doesn't have a 'culture' anymore, which for me is it's downfall. But the commenting style really kills the board for me. The things I'd like to discuss get 404'd within 30 minutes because of the endless stream of 'e sports' (Dota, Hon, Lol, Sc2, Wow etc flood it). The only thing that seems to last is the 'game of the month' threads and the complete meta threads.

You don't upgrade on 4chan. You can only downgrade.

>>59645457
>>59645414
I always wonder if wearing one of these at a con could get your laid...

>>59645497
That counts

/b/ -> /a/ -> /c/ -> /x/ -> /r9k/ -> /v/ -> /a/

What a strange journey it has been. But I still like to lurk /r9k/ occasionally, for the epic greentext threads.

>>59645553
>going to con

>>59645553
if furries get laid at cons, i think just about anyone can

>>59645137
>>59645300
I think it's because of that stupid rivalry they have with reddit

>>59645583
>epic greentext threads
I hope to god that you're being sarcastic.

>>59645532
I swear for god, /v/ just needs a decent Mod and everything would change

>>59645539
That's deep.

>>59645583
> for the epic greentext threads.
>epic

>>59645635
It's not even from /v/, is a bunch of /b/tards who started spreading that shit everywhere

>>59645655
That happened on /a/. Remember how well that went?

My trajectory has been:
/b/ -> /y/ -> /d/ -> /cgl/ -> /jp/ -> /a/

>>59644609
>japan times in /v/

Well yeah

>>59645497
air grilfriends are called waifus

>>59645711
But that's happening constantly. It doesn't explain the massive increase in speed /v/ has had recently.

This just in "/a/ is full of douchebags with superiority complex".

Seriously, you are arguing about whose shit smells less.


Also, a friendly reminder. Normalfag doesn't hold any meaning outside /a/.

>>59644980

>too many meta threads

There's a fucking 'sex offenders and their crimes' thread going on. It really is like /b/ in 07.

>>59645724
that mod was an idiot if he had just kept his mouth shut or quoted the rules none of that would have happened instead he created their own interpretation of the rules and banned anyone that said he was wrong

>>59645724
I don't care if a tripfag gets for two days
if whit that /v/ can recover itself I give a fuck

>>59645806
And that's the problem with the rest of 4chan.

>>59645724
>Implying our mods were decent.

I dunno how people can go on /v/ anymore, it has nothing to do with vidya.

>>59645794
Not my wife yet, i want to take it slow.

>>59645806
Hell no, i wish the other boards i visit were half the elitist /a/ is.

>>59645655
Honestly what the fuck are you going to do?
You can't have a mod running around going BANNED BECAUSE TOO MUCH OF A NORMALFAG

Oh and /co/ has gone to shit too but I can't figure out why. Everyone there is just so much angrier than they used to be.

>>59645806
That's the fucking problem, you mongoloid
>>59645832
>banned for two days
My bad.

>>59645883

I blame ponies and generals.

>>59645832
We forget so soon what happened on that day, don't we.

>>59645806
>Also, a friendly reminder. Normalfag doesn't hold any meaning outside /a/.

On /r9k/ it kind of does, well that place is half normalfag have Hiki/NEET shut ins hence being such a cesspool.

/g/ is on our level pretty much, /jp/ is more neckbeard than /a/.

>>59645883
Why don't people use that image for dubs?

>>59645806

>/a/ is full of douchebags with superiority complex

If anything, we're far too friendly. I saw one of you faggots give sauce today.

>>59645883
>Honestly what the fuck are you going to do?
The only fucking thing I can do, report and move on
the mod just needs to clean that shithole from shitposting and that's it

>>59645883
>You can't have a mod running around going BANNED BECAUSE TOO MUCH OF A NORMALFAG

Agreed. The community should discourage that shit.

>>59645113

This, people don't remember the early days. After about 07-08 when it became nothing but porn, religion, demotivationals, advice dog and other edit based threads it was dead.

It's why I wish I could talk about off topic things on /a/ more, as I want to discuss them with /a/ and not the board they belong on as over time the users who I used to discuss this with have left or filtered into different board, not to mention boards began to have their own cultures and taboos, driving the wedge between '4channer' and specific board apart.

>>59645877
>elitist

Why don't you try /jp/ and /mu/ ?

>>59645939
/g/ is becoming a tech support board because the assholes that used to scare off idiots are slowly leaving and normals are replacing them

>>59646014
Ok, elitist was the wrong board.
Newfags unfriendly?

This as well.
Fuck you internet. I used to be able to call people out on faggotry without all this hand holding, Little Miss Manners shit. But now people can't stand having their feeling hurt by some wanker on the internet.

>>59645939

I haven't been to the boards you mentioned so I will take it as truth. Frankly, wouldn't surprise me seeing how these boards were always filled with people who frequent /a/ as well.

>>59645724
i remeber when i got banned for:

"posting in a loli thread"

>>59645939
>/g/ is on our level pretty much, /jp/ is more neckbeard than /a/.

/g/ is basically tech support for /v/'s "hey build me a rig" incessant threads.

You can't see most people posting on /g/ are not from /g/ and yet those threads are more numerous than /g/-related threads. Besides that, between apple-is-for-faggots and bsd-vs-gpl threads there is always something interesting to discuss and learn. I like /g/.

as someone who toured every board i'll tell you how it works

there's an induction phase where everyone hates everything you post, effectively teaching you what to post and how. there's an especially steep one for /jp/ because their entire board was founded on spite and exclusion.

the boards that take the least acclimatization are pretty much the worst (you don't think much of /b/ right?)

there are more people who play video games than watch anime, so I theorize that it's harder for /v/ to moderate their own posting which causes it to look worse. it's not even that bad.

>>59645113
You know I started in 2006 and didn't think it was that bad at first but when I migrated to other boards and looked there it was how you are describing. Maybe I am just naive and it was like that all along.

I remember when /r9k/ first came around and what you are describing is how I envisioned it to be. Basically a board for Meta threads like this, sadly it turned into BAWW and Misogyny.

>>59646090

>I haven't been to the boards you mentioned
>derp

I meant, I haven't visited them in a while. I'm tired so spare me.

>>59645678

It's sad to see that word so hated since it lost all meaning years ago, do you still hold that resentment? Does /b/ even use the word in it's bastardized way anymore?

>>59645994
>It's why I wish I could talk about off topic things on /a/ more

On a site like this, where each board is it's own community, off topic threads are the butter of a good board. There's nothing wrong with them as long as we remember that we need bread too and don't end up like /v/

You can sometimes get good off-topics threads if you ask if something would make a good anime

Most of the /g/ users are from /a/ anyway

So much weeaboo shit (and it pisses the newfags/non weeaboo users as well)

>>59646215
Gurren Lagann

>>59646320
/g/ has plenty of normalfags though.

>>59646215
>do you still hold that resentment?
clearly

>Does /b/ even use the word in it's bastardized way anymore?
maybe but that doesn't bother me because I don't go there I just hate that word

I find /m/ to be a weird place. It's like half of them are /v/irgins and the other half are /a/nons.

I like little boards like that one though, even /jp/. They usually are unnoticed for so long that their culture are almost unaffected by the rest of 4chan.

>>59646244
>>59645994
On Futaba they have something called a flipside which is essentially talking about offtopic or loosely related shit with your board's denizens. I can't even begin to describe how much better 4chan would be if moot added some.

>>59645806

BECAUSE 4chan turned from 'white middle class male with some fetishes and enjoyment towards cynical wit with a slight hatred of everything' into 'everybody can come here and be ANONYMOUS, say anything, be all super special no one knows who I am etc'

Hate to be the asshole and pipe the old 'being popular is bad' comment. But it's what happened, new people came, out numbered the old and the old ways that many enjoyed got destroyed.

>>59646364
>/g/ has plenty of normalfags though.

I believe those vocal anti-weaboo are mostly from /v/.

>>59646421
>by the rest of 4chan.
By that I meant the bigger boards, like /a/, /v/, /b/, /sp/, /soc/, etc.

>>59646421
I can't stand /jp/ anymore. Terrible signal-to-noise ratio.

>>59646450
There is a lot of things that moot could add to 4chan but he doesn't
why?
I don't know

>>59646450
THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

>>59646450
I want to say that would be great, but it would probably just turn into /r9k/

i browser /v/ from time to time but im not PC master race so i cant contribute to the threads since most are PC related games,atleast hear i know my shit

>>59646498

>>59646450
it would be a great for a while but after a bit each one would become a shithole essentially turning one /v/ into 4+

>>59646029

I've always felt /g/ was for bashing tech and having a laugh myself, there have been BETTER forums dedicated to specific /g/ help (coding, news, gadgets etc) for longer than 4chan/g/ has been around. You still see it around /a/, tech savvy will appear from nowhere and divulge basic information, then again it's how I used to view 4chan, a group that is generally able to do minor research and tech themselves. Seeing people ask for how to torrent, search and IRC scares the fuck out of me for how far it's fallen.

I started with /a/ and expanded to a bunch of boards since.

Currently a regular at:
/a/
/v/
/tv/
/jp/

I also drop in by /x/ maybe once a week or so.

>>59644980
>moefaggots storming into manly threads and manlyfaggots storming into moe threads.
The fuck?

Anyone go to /sci/?

The discussion is great, until I finds out the replies will be coming in a week or so

>>59645806
It does on /v/.

>>59646674

I had a goo laugh with /sci/ today here

>>>/fit/10654789

>>59643438

>not liking /vp/

it's fine

i rp as a pokemon sometimes on another site so my opinion may be unique i really do hope you are not upset :3

i also go to /fa/

I upgraded from /b/ to /v/a/tg/

As someone who mostly visits /v/, I honestly have to say I feel like /a/ seems better off. Sadly I cannot stay here for more than short bursts, as I am not kawaii enough for /a/.

/b/ > /r9k/ > /vp/ > /jp/ > /a/ > /jp/ > /a/

>>59646701

It doesn't. /a/ is the one trying to force it there

>lots of people started with /b/
Am I the only one that started with /co/?

[porn boards] > /b/ > /jp/ > /g/ > /a/
I still actively browse /h/, /e/, /g/ and /a/.

>>59646938
what a fag

>>>/v/124351272

>>59646938

Started with /tg/. My friends frequented /b/ so I knew I had to avoid it.

how do you guys not know this.
you go to /v/ to talk about anime and not video games
you come to /a/ to talk about waifus and not anime.

>>59646986
Why did you do that?
you are not helping /v/
I fucking hate you

/v/ is a truly awful place and the influx of people here from there is a large reason why shitposting is so prolific here.
