- represents a lot of what I consider to be good 4chan virtues, as
mixed a bag as that is. Good balance of traffic with content (ontopic
and offtopic), and has some good manual and automatic self-defense
measures against newfags and normalfags (both personal resistance and it
being a hobby for nerds, they have to ward off the gaiafags though).
Following a good current show with them is one of the funnest things
I've done. The personality of the board is I feel right where it should
be, although can be quite unstable at times.
/v/ - despite all
the shit it gets, I still think it's quite good. It's far more
interesting than /b/, that's for sure. It just has way too much traffic
for it's own good, and videogames are more mainstream then ever before,
so that doesn't help with the kind of new blood that gets in. It's
on-topic threads can be lively and fruitful (following Tribes Ascend
from startup to now was very satisfying), and it's off-topic threads are
far better and more authentic than /r9k/'s (in my experience /r9k/'s
users are either too middle-of-the-road dull, or afraid to be honest).
If it slowed down a bit more and got more on-topic, it would be /a/'s
big brother in terms of the community's personality. Although I already
view them as joined at the hip.
/mu/ - I spend way too much time
there, considering I don't listen to absolutely anything they listen
to. The sense of community is far too loose in my opinion, and it's too
disconnected from the rest of the site. Way too much tripfags as well,
they really have their own culture, but that's expected since the board
has nearly none of it themselves. I assume this is because of the simply
far too varied nature of music, compared with hobbies like vidya and
anime and movies. Sure, there's the big Pitchfork blockbusters that some
crowd around, but there's also millions of other albums that people
never get a chance to talk about, which usually isn't the case with
film/anime/etc. |
