Why is /co/ becoming the new /b/? Each day there are more and more threads about shit that has nothing to do with comics and cartoons (anime, video games not based on /co/-related franchises, /soc/ threads) and things other boards won't talk about even though that's what they are there for. Worse still, after the mods at /v/ started cracking down on shitposting they all fled to /co/.Also, yeah, I saw that Roasted Bread (the Nichijou Avatarfag) made a thread about this, but that's just his own personal vanity thread in disguise.
Because /co/ as a community fights and fights to allow tons off completely offtopic and "technically" ontopic threads, so now the shitposters realize that they can post any kind of thread they like and half of /co/ will say the thread should be allowed
>>151083Y'know what... You're actuall right. I actually have seen in the off-topic threads people trying to justify the posting of off-topic material in /co/. There's a solution, but it's far out of /co/'s reach because we're never going to get better mods over there.
Ever since /q/, every board seems to be becoming the new /b/.So how about those janitors boss?
>>151106I told everyone this would happen, but everyone just kept saying bullshit such as>why do you hate fun?>ignore threads you don't like!>X is /co/ related because I don't like the board it belongs on!
>>151070Since the creation of /q/, 4chan has been in a state of flux. Everyone is going fucking retarded all over the place and the only thing that would really make this shit a whole lot better would be if we had more mod and more active mods who stopped doing this whole cloak and dagger thing and actually fucking participating.
>>151128You should have been elitist, /co/. You had a chance.
>>151070Gonna have to wait for new janitors I guess. It doesn't look too bad. The front page only had 2/15 off topic threads when I checked.
>Musclegirl thread>"Ok, people are posting She-Hulk and shit but keeping it clean.">Suddenly /ss/ doujin and horsecock>Topic telling /co/ members that a Titans doujin is being posted on another board.>"Well this is a shitty thread but it's not rule-breaking...">Weeaboo comes in and starts dumping an anime doujin.
>>151128I haven't seen any threads like this, care to give some examples?
>>151195check the thread [spoiler]OF CUM!![/spoiler] I made in you're mothers asshole last nite :D
>>151195Any and all anime, fetish threads (on the front page right now), most vidya
You guys miss us.A lot.
>>151263shhhh
It's because you kicked out half of the good posters last year.
I blame making /mlp/.
I don't know what you guys are talking about, it seens fine to me.
>>151266/co/ didn't kick them out, moot kicked them out
>>151266>Ponyfags>Good posters>mfwAnyway, it was the other way around, pony was a shitposters door and they stayed
Tumblr whales took over.We already had a thread earlier about auto banning the cunts, but all the tumblr and reddit defenders shot it down because "freedom of speech we should tolerate retards, etc" shit that already ruined /v/.Coming from an /a/non, I'm sorry for your loss man. I really am.
>>151450>Coming from an /a/nonThat is not subtle
Adventure TimeHomestruckRegular ShowAvatarKorraThe days of when we exclusively talked about Marvel and DC stuff is done.All that kiddy crap is what ruined it, it's not against the rules though so bye bye /co/! It was nice knowing you!
>>151511>/co/>comics and cartoons>complaining about cartoon discussionEat shit, capefag.
/co/ has no one to blame but themselves for this.The welcoming, all inclusive attitude of the board leads to people taking advantage of the leniency.
>>151511Can't wait for the new Xiaolin Showdown to come out next year and for the board to be full of it's gloriousness
>>151070Having newfag spam on your board?Blame this:http://ylilauta.org/int/12680240
/co/ is the civil rights for shit and off topic faggotry.
/co/ is a fucking awful board./v/ is actually leagues better than you faggots right now./co/ has offtopic, politics, fetish, religion v.s athiesm threads all the fucking time, and the actual ontopic threads aren't all that much better.
Is obvious what are the main problems hereOff-topic threads and those fetish threadsThe off-topic shit is being excuse with some retarded board culture thing and the Fetishes threads are just fucking disgustingThere is a board for everything, and those don't belong on /co/
Some guy posted in another thread what the problems with this board are.1. /co/ has a community, like you, that love nothing more but to suck it's own dick.2. /co/ has a huge holier then thou attitude and believes it's the best and it does topics better then the board they're meant forI.E,>/co/ thinks it does video games better then /v/ and /vg/>/co/ thinks it does anime better then /a/>/co/ thinks they do movies better then /tv/3. /co/ is filled with normalfags who don't read comics and only come for avengers4. /co/ willingly accepts tumblrfags, places like /v/, /sp/, etc shun reddit, tumblr, and 9fags5. /co/ cartoon fanbases is fucking awful, and I mean almost all of the cartoon fanbases6. You are open to off topic shit.7. This boards janitor is terrible, who would rather spend their time deleting porn then this shit thread.8. You could have stopped the pony faggotry before it started, but you decided to keep it because this place has no balls and is a hugebox9. General this general that.10. You people don't do shit when Korra gets a new episode, at one point more then 100 korra threads were going on at a single moment
Why would you make this thread without requesting heavier moderation for /co/? Because that's exactly what we need.
>>152672>Why would you make this thread without requesting heavier moderation for /co/?It's called "inference", you're supposed to figure out that I'm requesting that as well.
>>152672It's pretty obvious that heavy moderation is what the OP is calling for.
>>152648Not to mention the ridiculous increase of "rolls" threads. >>>/co/40379614These threads as well. They're clearly just shitposters finding the smallest of links to /co/ to create a thread. They're very weak links and should be valid for deletion.>>>/co/40378936>>>/co/40378561>>>/co/40375634>>>/co/40340227

>>152682This is honestly pathetic

You people don't do shit when Korra gets a new episode, at one point more then 100 korra threads were going on at a single momentWhat do 6-10 have in common? They could have been prevented or better dealt with with the presence of efficient mods and janitors.
>>152682>Roll threadsUgh, those are awfulThey are just dubs threads, they don't even bother to make charts anymore, lazy fucks
>>152693/co/ has always been so damn in love with themselves. They honestly think they're the best board by far, even now. Even when I went there daily this shit was unbearable.
Fucking avatarfags
>>152706>Implying that /co/ doesn't think /tg/ is the best board
>>152712This tooKorrafags are annoying but that falls into the "Cartoon Fandoms are annoying" category>>152715>Implying /tg/ is perfectPeople think /tg/ is perfect because they don't really browse it or don't know its problems
Some of these comments surrealIs like a convention of people who went to /co/ to be mad and hate stuff and got scared after they saw people having fun
>>152750It's shit like this. It sounds IDENTICAL to the /v/ shitposters, and /co/ loves it.
>>152729I know that, I'm just saying that that's the attitude on /co/.>>152750You're actions facilitate the shitposting that is increasing by the day.See this >>>/co/40377604This could very easily become a regular occurrence if it isn't stamped out sooner rather than later.
>>152764>its a conspiracy>>152774Report it, its mods problem that it has not been 404'd
You know, by and large /co/ is mellow and knows how to deal with the trolling. We'll be fine. Get to it when you get to it.That being said, I am volunteering my services.
>>151070It's because you're too nice. People may call /a/ elitist autistic fucks, but it's how we keep the board on topic.
>>152998/co/ is a very on topic board in my experience. The other boards I frequent are /tg/, /sp/, and /lit/.
Top 2 rows of the catalog as of starting to type this post:>Guy needs help making a comic or something>drawthread with characters people made themselves for webcomics or whatever>on-topic trollthread>off-topic>Phantom Stranger>New 52>Post the worst cartoons you've ever watched>Foreign comic strip>Avengers>Marvel>Official TF2 Comics storytime>Semi-on-topic Young Justice thread>Storytime>on-topic cute threadSeems pretty normal. We have had problems with off-topic and flooding of certain things that get popular, and still do sometimes, but I still think /co/ is a good board, and has always been a good board. People who think it's Top 5 in overall quality have their heads up their asses, though, and people who think it's bad most of the time are also full of shit. /co/'s a GOOD board, not GREAT or SHIT. It's a little better than the midway point between those two. This are some exceptions though. We occasionally have really great threads that discuss things civilly, or are hilarious, etc. etc. but that's occasionally. We also get worse than a good portion of bad boards if certain topics are discussed (Feminism, Tumblr, Roasted Bread, Toonami threads that aren't on Saturday Night, etc.).So yeah. I don't think /co/ needs much more than more focused janitors/mods, and even then they do an okay job.Oh, and, while I'm venting on board quality, /v/'s definitely notably better after /q/ came along. Not perfect, but certainly a little more vidya than before. /mu/ and /sp/ are MUCH worse than /v/ currently.
>>153191We want more janitors as a pre-emptive measure before it gets worse, not wait until It's absolute shit before we do something
>>151138>Everyone is going fucking retarded all over the place It's been like that for years. Why would you even bother mentioning it?
>>151650>The welcoming, all inclusive attitude of the board leads to people taking advantage of the leniency.That explains why nothing is being done to Toonami threads. Which is why /co/ has essential become their home board.
>>152664>/co/ cartoon fanbases is fucking awful, and I mean almost all of the cartoon fanbasesIt's the off topic talk that's killing this board. Cartoon posters have nothing to do with that.
>>152998Typical /a/. Fucking weebs weren't accepted when they were young so now they treat everyone else the way they were treated. It's like the cycle with child abusers. It just goes on and on and on.Or perhaps they're the ones I'm talking to.
>>153637>mad about people being dicks>be a dick towards themDat logic.
>>153637Ignore him. The elitist faggots don't know what they're talking about. All the elitism has done is turn everyone into an asshole. There is plenty of off-topic bullshit that still happens.
>>153598Well, it's pretty much that /a/ won't allow Toonami and that most of the people who want to talk about it are from /co/ and /v/.If anime were allowed on the anime board, it wouldn't be a problem.
>>153670How many times do we have to tell you people this? Toonami is not an anime. Toonami airs anime. If you want to make threads about specific shows once you finish them you're more than welcome. But we aren't interested in hosting your livestream threads of some American TV block.
>>153678I think there is retardation on both sides. Toonami is a airtime block. It's not an anime, it's not a cartoon, it's just a slot of television time that groups together a few shows for people to watch. In reality, toonami shouldn't be a discussion type on either /co/, /a/ or /tv/. It's fucking nothing. The shows contained within should be on /a/ and /co/ depending on where the animation came from. Anime belongs on /a/. Cartoons belong on /co/. Toonami belongs on neither.
>>153682The problem is that people on /co/ dont give a shit about the rules on any board unless the rule helps them in some way.And since half the people on /co/ are from tumblr, they can't handle it when people on /a/ are mean to them, so they go running back to /co/ and think they get to just make anime threads because they don't like /a/Ironically, these are probably the same people who ignore every legitimate point you make because you're breaking one of the rules they like
>>153687I wish the people on /a/ weren't such cunts. I don't watch or read naruto and the big 3 myself, but I don't care if other people do. If all the aspies would either fuck off or at least shut the fuck up and just let people discuss anime on the god damn anime board, both /a/ and /co/ would be better off for it. But it's an unattainable dream.
>>153690I prefer a board of elitist cunts who I can actually talk about the board topic with to a bunch of submissive shipping faggots who actively encourage offtopic threads.Since Hal Jordans death I have seen one semi successful thread about that, and three wildly popular Naruto threads and two wildly popular fetish threads.There is no real discussion on /co/ anymore. Just storytimes with no discussion, roll threads, generals, and offtopic shit.Again, I prefer the board full of dicks that I can actually talk to sometimes
>>153692>I prefer a board of elitist cunts who I can actually The aspie elitist cock suckers encourage off-topic posts every day like waifu bullshit. Also they're the ones who "self-moderate" with dubs faggotry and other kinds of spam. I would rather a board without cunts, elitists or aspies, where it's actually possible to discuss something without some cock sucker coming in saying HURDURMOESHITXD or HURDURSHONENSHITXD or all the other sorts of "insults" they have for anything they don't like.
>>153693My mistake. I didn't actually mean to put all of that in greentext.
>>153693Yeah, I can hardly read that but every board has shitposters and trolls. I haven't seen any dubs shit in weeks though, that's mostly /v/s problem./a/s main problem is that people have a difficult time not responding to trolls, that's really it though. Sometimes a troll can just derail the fuck out of a thread if they say the right thing.
>>153697All the boards have problems responding to trolls.What weirds me out about /a/ is that they seem to be the center for every shitstorm that happens between the boards.For a board that has elitist posters pushing away everybody, they seem to be the first to go post on other boards.
>>153724If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, those shitstorms are typically preceded with "/a/ won't let spoonfeed me and/or entertain my shitty Bebop thread ;_;". Not to say that CB isn't a valid thread topic, but they make shitty threads and complain about /a/ afterwards.
>>153724/a/, /b/ and /v/ are at the center of most cross-board drama. Plus a lot of /sp/ lately. But that's just part of being the top 3 most popular boards on 4chan.
>>153727Can I just say pushing those threads to /v/ doesn't work?
>>153727I never endorsed that. But so long as people keep complaining about /a/'s hostility, that means that /a/ is doing something right.
>>153740Whoops. I meant to reply to >>153733
>>153740Agreed. Unfortunately for the other boards, it's not like you can just convert your entire culture to one of protective elitism overnight, or perhaps ever. It's a shame so few are willing to give the idea a try, though.
>>152647>/v/>Leagues betterKeep being delusional, /v/irgin.
>>154291It is. I don't even go to /v/ but it got cleaned up while /co/ has been left to rot, and ontopic posters now even called trolls on /co/.They think that wantinh the rules to be followed is trolling. If that doesn't make a board worse than /v/ I don't know what does
>>154301Well I don't really visit /v/ so I wouldn't really know. All I know is that our board is being shat on with MLP shit at the moment. So sorry for accusing /v/ of being shit.
>>153772And of course, if you tried, you'd get "Sekrit club LOL" and "Do you hate fun?" Unfortunate, that.
>>154310>Do you hate fun?Funny how this was the shitpost of choice in /v/ before it got cleaned up, now suddenly It's in every offtopic thread in /co/What a mystery
>>151070>Also, yeah, I saw that Roasted Bread (the Nichijou Avatarfag) made a thread about this, but that's just his own personal vanity thread in disguise.Agreed, and pay attention to his posts here in /q/. Notice anything unusual?
/co/ anime avatar guy still has free reign, thanks mods you are literally worthless
>>151192>Weeaboo comes in and starts dumping an anime doujin.I was there. We told him to stop and he got butthurt. Started shitposting other threads, crying about how /co/ has changed, and avatarfagging
>>153740Not really when people from /a/ come to shitpost on /co/
he's still there, thanks mods. worthless
>>154653>>157587thank you for your contribution>people saying /co/ should have been like /a/fuck that noise. /a/ is awful. i just read/watch stuff without talking to people about it because of that board.
>>157587see>>>/co/40439971
>>157616see>>>/co/40441167
>>157643So report him.
>>157656I did.
>>157006That means that /co/ is doing something wrong.
>>157664No, not when the only reasoning behind it is because they were browsing a /co/ discussion on /q/.
>>157665/a/ has a reputation for being elitist shitheads. /co/'s reputation is that of friendliness and acceptance of all sorts of things. And yet you wonder why people keep a-flocking to /co/ to talk about their random shit.
>>157677No this wasn't to start a Naruto or Cowboy Bebop. This was to hardcore shitpost and not regarding any anime /a/ has "forsaken".
Why is everyone blaming /a/ for this shit? A bunch of /v/irgins migrated over to /co/ to shit it up.>lel>wtf pls go tumblr fagsThese people are easy to spot
>Why is /co/ becoming the new /b/?It's not, that title belongs to /v/.
Alot of this would just be solved by banning anyone who associates with Adventure Time. It's a major tumblr indicator. Hell, that miofag originates from there and its one of the only threads he doesn't shitpost in (well, aside from avatarfagging itself, but he actually tries to stay on subject when debating his spoon waifus).All the other tripfags that associate with that fandom (Aggro Fatfag, Cheeseclown, Jumpfaggot) are hardly any better.
>>157928But the show is good, and on-topic. And AT fans aren't behaving the way MPL ones do.
>>151070I'm a shit poster.And I approve this thread.
