    68 KB 4chan's continued mediocrity Ganz 03/31/10(Wed)20:31:58 No.8160430  
    Hey /r9k/. It's beeb a while since I posted here. I mostly just lurk. But I wanted to talk about 4chan. The site as a whole yes, but mainly /b/, as it seems the other boards experience a sort of trickle down effect from there.

    What has happened? Have you even gone over there? It's even worse than before! There's no creativity, no funny people. Nothing new, jsut the same regurgitated shit from years ago. There's a valid reason why there are no new memes. It's just a bunch of 13 year olds that think that they are hardcore for posting 'NIGGERNIGGERNIGGER LULZ INTERNET HAET MACHINE!!" and they are dead serious.

    They actually fucking call themselves "the internet hate machine" and don't find it ridiculous at all. They all live and die by the" rules of /b/". Everything that was a funny joke to make fun of newfags is taken seriously.


    But the real issue is that 4chan has just gotten too big. Too popular. Following the Fox news report, rickrolling, chocolate rain, and especially the scientology demonstrations, 4chan was filled with average people. Average little Timmy wanting to be part of a hacker gang and the internet hate machine swarmed in in droves. Whereas the site used to be home to deviants and people with a truly interesting and sometimes hilarious opinions, is now overrun with mundanity and average. There are still some who are funny, but what is one voice against such a large number?

    /b/ has turned into a social networking site. Look at he conversations on there compared to say, facebook or myspace. They are the exact same. The same fucking atrocious grammar, boring mundane subjects, inane drivel. It has become normal, and in the process, lost what made it special.

    I'm sorry if I made some spelling errors, typed this on an iphone. Also getting a pic past the robot is not very fun.
    >> Ganz 03/31/10(Wed)20:33:49 No.8160461
    Also, raiding is pointless because none of them know how to do shit... they want to be 1337 net terrorists but don't know how to do anything more than troll facebook funeral pages.

    Pic related because it's fucking retarded.

    I was about to rage massively when I saw your picture but then I read your post.

    More than /b/, I am concerned about shit posting in the other boards,usually coming from users that com from /b/. I think /b/ is already a lost cause.

    Take /x/, for example, it used to be an awesome place (within its thematic) but it is now subject to /b/ raids and all kinds of shit.

    /r9k/ ocassionally gets some /b/ shitposting as well.

    It's because of the lack of moderators.

    Oh mootie, why are you so lazy
    >> Anonymous 03/31/10(Wed)20:37:54 No.8160516
    If you don't see the point of raiding then why are you here? Oh that's right you're a whiteknight faggot who always saw themselves as above /b/. Well guess what you contribute hits which contributes money to keep /b/ going so suck on that.

    The raids are the single best thing about 4chan, successful raids recquire co-operation and that only happens when the cuase is worthy. Porn on Youtube, hella worthy. Habbo raids, funny as shitting out the mouth, worthy. Pool's closed IRL, that was one guy and it was not worthy.

    Get it, fuckface? Raids are a force for good and you, sir, are asspained.

    Yeah, that was what I meant by trickle down effect.

    Like /v/ for example, /v/ has traditionally been as bad as /b/ the year or so before.

    /v/and /x/ are really why I am so concerned, because soon the whole site will be nothing but trolls and shitposting.

    Yepp. In the Q&A moot gave here in one of the answers he implied he considered /b/ almost a lost cause as far as content goes (or that's what I understood from his answer) but that doesn't work if the faggotry isn't contained in /b/ and sealed shut there.

    I mean for fuck's sake, look at /x/, whenever /b/ decides to LULZ RAID THEM like it's a funny thing it's unbearably stupid.
    Like, what the fuck? I don't understand how the fucking hell they find that funny.

    Or that whole "oldfag and newfag", or "the rules of /b/", "anon is legion" etc etc stuff. Jesus christ.

    I think moot should appoint more moderators, it's not hard, he can see the user's IP address and in boards as slow as /r9k/, for example, it shouldn't be too hard to pick out the most decent ones.

    Been here since '05 when I was playing WoW and generally fucking up in school and working a part time job. 4chan got me into a lot of things that I had no prior link to, before this I was going to anime club and reading every book I could get my hands on during free periods, before coming home and either watching tv until late or raiding until I crashed.

    4chan enriched my life. There are so many things, and so many perspectives and knowledge and sheer wisdom that I learned from this place. I'm still a loser, but I feel like a better loser for being here. No matter how much I lose faith in this place I always find something new everytime I come here, and that's what matters.

    Habbo raids were only funny... well, never.

    I've been here for four years. Before /r9k/. And /b/ was always an ocean of piss. It's just that now, more underage b& are pissing in it. And yeah, /b/ is moderated. I found this out when a janitor perma saged my thread because I wanted #fortune back (yeah, I'm a fag). And yet, the "questionable age" threads and tons of camwhore thread run rampant, like they always have. And it gets worse. And worse. /b/ always has been a mix a terrible and win, but it's starting to smell worse with the influx of visitors. Keep in mind, only 4channers can change 4chan. Moderators can only moderate.

    tl;dr Just set an example and quit bitching.

    What I fucking hate, personally, is when cries of "forced meme! forced meme!" ring out. Fuck that. If it were forced, you would be forced to do it yourself. The fact other people are widely using it means it's a goddamn meme. You are only calling it a forced meme because YOU dislike it. That being said, Milhouse is still not a meme. Milhouse is not a meme still is a meme.

    /b/ is fucking dead there is no point in going there anymore.

    There actually was a time when the cancer was this bad, I think it was . . . maybe early 07? I can't remember, the years kind of run together, it was the cancer that led to the post-limits I believe. That shit was pretty bad but /b/ is now about as bad as it was then.

    Anyway it's totally fucking useless. Most of the users are underageb& and boring. I have heard so many high school kids spouting memes in my town it's not even funny.

    Let the kiddies have their secret internets clubhouse and the rest of us will surf other boards/chans.

    But as for this comment
    >also, the other chans' userbases are extremely small and fragmented, just about all of them are dead.
    You just need to lurk more. I notice that iiChan.net is getting quite a big userbase. If you prefer to be a sick deviant, why aren't you on 7chan or 12chan?

    >>8160506
    >It's because of the lack of moderators.
    This pretty much sums up all the problem with 4chan. Why /b/ are even allowed to post /b/ shit on other boards without getting b& is something I just don't get.

    Back in '07 the mods were at least somewhat effective, if only because of the bad press they got during the CP raids on /b/. As time has gone on, they've become more lazy and just expect the autobans to solve everything.

    I don't think moot even cares. It's not that difficult to fix, really, just go into a slow or semi-slow board like this one, trace the IP addresses of the people who are more lucid and coherent and make them mods. Then delegate this task to them until there are enough moderators (current mods can be also used to do this). Then proceed to ban spam-like posting, retarded threads, fucktard users, etc etc

    Utopia ensues.

    It's really easy to determine a person't character if you can see what kind of posts he makes.

    But I don't know if he just wants to antagonize kimmo (in the sense that kimmo is a content/grammar nazi) and that's why he vouches for absolute free speech, no matter how retarded said speech is; or if he is actually doing a massive profit and thus wants more users; or if he isn't really as smart as we all think and has no clue or initiative to do anything or he simply doesn't give a fuck.

    I think this place will get worse before it gets better.

    Then again, I hope I'm wrong ;_;

    If you've ever posted on a forum made for just you and your friends, /b/ was like that, to a larger scale of course. It was the golden days for memes, an internet nerd paradise. I remember the day after the over 9000 video came out, I saw someone had made a reference to it in school. Memes in general are so much weaker now and mainly come from /v/ and sometimes /a/.

    Fuck man I just can't convey how great it was back then. I know that /b/ is in a horrid state right now, but it saddens me at the same time someone uses the term /b/tard in a derogatory manner, because I know these people would probably never believe /b/ was once a great place.

    also i propose a solution. take a word from every meme ever and set a word filter to change it or auto ban the ip posting it. like a toilet stall wall you gotta wipe it down with goof off or paint over it from time to time. guarantee traffic won't go down and it will weed out most of the retards.

    If you wordfilter a meme, the replacement word will become a new meme. Will not work.

    If you ban everyone who posts a certain meme, you'll get rid of some of the retards but it won't work forever as non-b& retards will catch on and get around the b&filter. Certain URLs are banned but they still find other ways of posting them.

    Nothing beats commitment and active moderations. Also, the trolls are in the minority. Finding and getting rid of the worst offenders will give 4chan a huge improvement.

    Coming from /co/, yeah there's spillover. Sometimes it's not bad; you have the occasional /b/tard stopping by to expand their interests in comics or whatnot.

    But usually its like 3 high schoolers thinking they're badass by starting troll posts and sitting back smugly and the board gets slightly worse.

    Been part of this site for a long time, most of the old charm is gone. But, /b/ was a shithole before, and it has only gotten worse. The thing is that one day, the fuckers over there realizes that it is no point shouting memes and being cool with caps lock, they will eventually grow op, it will take some time, but i hope in my old rotten down heart it eventually will happen. Untill then the only two boards on 4chan i will have any envolvement in is r9k and /o/. The lesser known chans are also awesome for taking some time off all the drama and remembering back to the old days. B& by snacks, then b& again for some lame ass reason, but that helped me to think twice before posting something: Is this really worth posting? Will people look any different on the topic/discussion after my post? And thats what /b/ and the other boards need, more funny moderators, and a whole lot of b&ning. Untill then, I will see you around here.

    The problem is is that the new people who joined /b/ most likely joined the internet because of myspace/facebook/other tweenage faggotry. So, they take the same attitude asthey did there, they completely miss the point of being anonymous and try to fit in(The whole fucking point being when your anonymous you dont have to care about what people think of you).
    They try and fit in by posting memes and shit. This wouldnt be SO bad if they didnt take a shitload of myspace bullshit here with them.

    And then theres the memes.

    I used to be ok with "memes" but now I kind of consider it a dirty word. Wether or not something is a "meme" is the epitome of a fuckign pointless argument. It doesnt matter if its a "meme" or not as long as its funny.

    Then I relized something. Find any discussion or argument about the "meme-status" of something.

    Replace said meme with the name of a band, or pretend it is a band.

    Replace the word meme with "Goth/Punk?Hardcore/Emo/Scene/Hip/In/Coo/Kewl"

    Then replace the phrase "forced meme" with "Poser"

    Poster 1: Is double nigger a meme?
    Poster 2: Double nigger is a meme
    Poster 3: Double nigger is the most forced meme ever.

    Poster 1: Is My Chemical Romance Goth?
    Poster 2: MCR is totally goth

    I'm pretty sure even before the internets, the point of "the game" was to make someone else think of the game without actually saying "THE GAME". Randomly thinking about the game and then yelling "I lost the game!" isn't how it works. So not only are they using tired memes every chance they get, they don't even understand what they mean. Pretty soon they'll be running around in Guy Fawkes masks because it's so edgy and cool.

    /b/ has just become a giant circle-jerk troll-fest saturated with unfunny, overused, old memes and porn. Nothing good has come from there in years, and for all intents and purposes, /b/ is a lost cause.

    Even /r9k/ has gone down the shitter. Back in the day, we used to have our classy-ass mascot, the green anon with the monocle, top hat, and cane. This was a pretty badass place, usually full of interesting discussion that actually seemed intelligent. Now, all this board consists of are relationshit threads, b'aw threads, and filler content. All intelligent discussion has moved to /sci/, but even that is slowly becoming a trolling ground.

    As moot said (paraphrasing): 4chan isn't our secret little hangout spot anymore. We get millions of unique visitors PER DAY. Word's out, and as a result, the whole place has just become shitty.

    But for all of /b/'s faults, it did changed me: I stopped using a handle on 4chan since I first visited /b/ and it changed me as it allowed me to be more expressive of my true feelings. Plus I got used to finding the good stuff in the ocean of piss that /b/ produces.

    To be honest, there is hope for the future. moot's apprentice on TED 2010 and the subsequent press coverage and appearances may have possibly given him a new reason to focus on the website. Some of the problems of the website can be dealt with by hiring new janitors and mods. But it still takes time.

    Also, the website is mostly operated by him and one part time coder with a team of moderators and janitors, and the reason why it takes so long to improve the website is because he's the only one who operates the website. And good help is hard to find.

    The best thing to do is to stop complaining and we make this imageboard AND 4chan as we make of it.
