Site should be functioning 100%, however we encourage all users do the following immediately:

1. Clear your DNS cache. Windows users enter "ipconfig /flushdns" at your command prompt (be sure to run it as an administrator). Mac users enter "dscacheutil -flushcache" at your Terminal window. *nix varies, but see here.
2. Clear your browser cache and cookies. This varies per browser but should be pretty straight forward.
3. Remove all entries for 4chan servers in your hosts file (if you've edited it). Windows users can find this at "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" and Mac/*nix at "/etc/hosts". How do I edit my hosts file?

Add /tg/ and /vg/ at "Awesome"

Now you realize how terrible these past years have been. Every time the board takes a hit and never recovers, and the retards who stay say "hurr durr it was the same as it was when I arrived", because they were part of the goddamned problem back then.

I've been here since 2004, and until recently I always took the nostalgia as a joke. /a/ was always shit and awesome at the same time, with intelligent discussion and witty humor always standing to the side of the silly memes.
But in the last 2 years or so /a/ has seriously gotten worse I feel, maybe I just don't know what time we have the discussions on, or maybe all the gentlemen retired, but something changed.

Good to see someone like you again, most people who browsed 4chan pre-2007 presumably just post pictures.

Maybe I am just blind but there arent many "ye good olde 4chan" threads on /a/ anymore.

Unfortunatly for this thread, I deleted a lot of pictures, this is one of the older ones.

From my personal experience, any other anime board I've been on has been spoiled by Reddit shit.
>>
>>66664679
I think it's important to ask - what board is "average?" We need some level of qualification here, if we can't quantify it.

This also brings up the point that if /a/ is indeed above average, that says a hell of a lot of things about 4chan at large.

It's pretty good, specially the /cgl/ part

That board is tumblr 2.0 full of prostitutes.

Plebeians hating on /mu/ is still accurate.

>>66664632
Well, I have certainly been using the site less in the last 5 years, but I can't seem to find as many threads I enjoy anymore.
Just looking at the catalog you can see that nearly ALL the threads are the same threads we keep having over and over.
I personally feel there are loads of great anime to discuss this season, but I can't find a single Sakamichi no Apollon/Tsuritama/Polar Bear Cafe/Lupin/Space Brothers threads, and all the Fate/Zero threads seem to be general typemoon threads with the same shit (Slut-Bitch, powerlevels, etc.).
>>
>>66664725
Shit posting like you.
>>
>>66664641
If it wasn't for the constant trolling and shitposting it would be great.
But it is miles better than most other places, due to the childish demeanour and general retarded nature of anime fans
>>
>>66664641
No, /a/ is the best place for shitposting, off-topic threads, daily doses, responding to the same threads every day and arguing with epik trolls all day.
>>
>>66664632
Not him, but /a/ took itself a lot less seriously before 2009. /a/ doesn't know how totake a joke anymore.
>>
>>66664782
That because most of those shows only have threads on the day the episode airs/subs come out. You can always make a thread though on a different day, rather than just searching for a premade one though.

Also people take trolling way too seriously.
It used to be for instance that Hidamari Sketch was never trolled. Now it's a common thing, our morals have degraded.

No, we need the trolls, perverts, and assholes in order to maintain some normality around here. Without them, grammar errors and emoticons would run rampant. It's just after some trolls, like Porky or Accel, get famous, and other people want to copy them and have that same sort of e-peen.

Well like I said, there's also plenty of people using Summer as an excuse to be faggots. That, the influx of new and underage retards, the influx of people trying to fit in by jumping on memes and people that they think will make them look like they've been here - like the retards who actually support Accelspammer - and all this Toonami shit, which is flavor of the month, just come together to make this Summer really shitty.

I'm waiting until Rebuild 3.0 comes out before /a/ gets good again.
>>
>>66665186
yeah but Toonami is a "anime block disguised as a programming block"

I attack them because I don't want them getting too uppity due to them being nothing more than nostalgia circlejerk but if you attack an anime because they are in a certain program or liked by a certain site, there would be no anime left to talk about

>>
>>66665274
>>66665389
This. People are also too pretentious about getting the "good ol' /a/" back, which leads to the Toonami threads being spammed to holy hell. Yes, I understand that the shows have been discussed already, but just leave them be rather than use them as an excuse to shitpost. They'll leave eventually, but I'd rather have them all stick to one thread rather than seeing 2 or 3 Toonami threads being spammed to death on the front page while the Toonami fags keep making more in a desperate attempt to have a decent thread.

Even for 2007 it's completely wrong. /b/ has been in the shitter ever since the habbo raids took off.

Toonami is no different at all from what AS was already doing, except they added 2 old shows that we've already discussed to death, 1 that is actually decent, and 1 that we all hated. We don't want to talk about anything on Toonami nearly as much as these faggots want.

Also, I went to sleep early last night. Did the /a/ mod do the same thing as last week, or what happened?
