Why do you still come to /a/?

It doesn't have the appeal of being a force in the anime community it used to have 06-09 or so.

Do you still find /a/ entertaining? I doubt /a/ even has fun threads anymore? Infact, I doubt /a/ ever makes any decent content any longer.

Most discussions here are shit, right?
But you can say /a/ has never talked about good anime and thats understandable.

What's your reason?

Sorry for another shitty metathread

Present data to support this.

>Do you still find /a/ entertaining?
Yes.
> I doubt /a/ even has fun threads anymore?
Depends on where you find things fun.
> Infact, I doubt /a/ ever makes any decent content any longer.
Subjective classification that still depends on each human and his perception of the environment. You are naive.

>Most discussions here are shit, right?
See above.

>But you can say /a/ has never talked about good anime and thats understandable.

Calling /a/ a collective mind is wrong. Our tastes are disconnected and we translate ourselves as a chaos of opinions. If /a/ is us then we are always contradicting ourselves and thus deserve no credibility nor sense for any kind of discussion.

/a/ is an imageboard, not a society.

> What's your reason?
Rapid flow of information and constant self-analysis in every post I do and feedback I get.

I like the idea of an anonymous board. I can't post somewhere you need to make an account, places like that have too much moderation and the thread will be locked when there's "a debate". At forums no one is interested in your post unless you're a "big name", in other words you need to attention whore as much as possible.

I never really had any friends in my life except one.

We always used to hang out in my room and play video games. I always joked about a guy that I used to hate and told the other guy that I always tell him that I'm busy.
One day my best friend called me like any other day and asked me to hang out with him.
I told him I was busy (it was actually true) and he somewho thought that I started to dislike him.
After a while I had to move and never saw him ever again.

Feels pretty bad and then I found out about /a/. I don't really talk to anyone but you guys.

Because I can't express my interest in anime properly anywhere else. Other message boards would have me with an account and I cant talk shit like I do here, not to mention a vast difference in powerlevel. That and no one in my real life knows or cares enough about anime to have that in common.
Plus you guys can accept a useless piece of shit like myself as a brother, whether or not our tastes differ. It's odd, but I feel at home here.

R/a/dio and Cl/a/ssy Radio, which can be pretty fucking fun. Occasionally I like to join discussions on current anime, but it's mostly the nostalgia that gets me.

90% of /a/ is shit for the past few years, mainly because /v/ and /b/ always decide to fuck things up.

The important thing is to heavily filter the board while browsing it. The remaining 10% is enough to make it the best board to discuss anime. Go ahead and check out all the other boards and forums out there if you don't believe me.

Because I've been here for 5 years now and as shitty as the place is it's still miles better than all the other anime communities such as MAL. It's like a home almost, and without being able to come to /a/ for hours every day I'd feel like something is missing in my life. Still a shitty board, though.

Tsuntsun.

/a/ went to shit after code geass started airing. More anime in a simply favor continued to air. /a/ probably won't recover from the cancer.

Pre 2006 /a/ was pretty cool, a time when we were united.
