New boards added: /asp/ - Alternative Sports, /gd/ - Graphic Design, /lgbt/ - LGBT, /out/ - Outdoors, /vr/ - Retro Games

As with all new boards, these are being added on a trial basis. If they don't pan out or go unused, they'll be removed.

Requesting sticky for clarification:

We can still /retro/ in /v/.

What's the point then? No one knows
>>
>>181485554 (OP)
You can safely post about older games in /vr/ without being called a nostalgiafag. That's about the only point I see in the board.

The real question is why does it matter? If you can still post about retro games here why do you care so much if people want to have a board to discuss it that is safe from shitposting /v/ culture garbage?
>>
>>181486982
Because there was no shitposting in those threads in the first place.

I call people it sometimes. But only when it's really warranted, like people saying Goldeneye is the best game ever made with no flaws whatsoever and hasn't aged at all.

Most "retro" game threads tend to die off because of more popular threads. Hence people want a slower board to post about their shitty games.

I'd rather they made a separate thread for modern consoles, since the console wars are acting up again because of the "next gen"

Moot's normalfag friends got sick of seeing all these games their grandpa used to play. So they begged him to make a board.

Of course, but posts are slower as well. >>181487431 proves me point by saying threads can die in 30 minutes without a post.

>>181487489

he's right, though.

Remember when /vg/ started and /v/ talked about video games until someone complained that mods deleted 4AM threads and the like, moot caved, and the board got even worse than it was pre-split?

>>181487431
10 pages actually.
Also i just checked the 10th page and all i found were ignored threads with zero replies about this exact subject, mosaics thread and a simcity thread

OP Here

You know what?

Fuck it

Keep /vr/. It seems higher quality than this piece of shit already.
Problem is we can't discuss modern videogames there.

Rebrand it as /vd/ - videogame discussion,
make /v/ - videogame industry
and call it a day
>>
>>181487662
But if a thread doesn't get a post in 30 minutes then there is not real interest on the topic
>>
>>181487663
That sounds like another bad decision by moot, not the overwhelming support of shitty "/v/ culture" by /v/irgins.
>>
I wish they made separate board for Nintendoshit.

Mario and zelda are already flooding /vr/
>>
>>181487663
Because /vg/ doesnt have a reputation for being a containment zone of circlejerking and 213198462498 katawa shoujo generals.
It didnt root out the evil of one place, it spawned another.

>>181487865

That's not the issue at hand here, The issue is that /v/ basically shitposts and rages and bickers amongst themselves all fucking day, and then when moot does something and makes a board where it's okay to actually talk about videogames without it getting pushed off the board by filenames and console wars, they get up in arms and say "QUICK, TALK ABOUT VIDYA, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE WE HAVEN'T BEEN WALLOWING IN OUR OWN FILTH FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS!"

Nothing, except (hopefully) a better community and moderator intolerance for bullshit.

I don't see why you're so mad that a board was made so people can exercise a prerogative that /v/ rarely used, but IS STILL CAPABLE OF.

Doom is still welcome on /v/. Why not make a Doom thread instead of shitposting.

/vr/ was made because /v/ is a shit board. Period.

Want /vr/ to not live through its test period? MAKE /v/ NOT SHIT, AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME BY NOT SUPPORTING STUPID CULTURE AND INDUSTRY HATEBONER BULLSHIT.

>>181488314

Technology

That's like saying /v/ is for discussing hardware.

It already is. All that would happen is an area where you can actually discuss videogames while /v/ stays as shit as it has always been.

>>181488241
Look, what we have here is a cup of mold that constantly grows.

From time to time, moot eases the load by scooping off bits from the top and letting them grow in their own cups, whether they do so quickly or slowly.

Communities may migrate, but that's natural, and they'll thrive in areas where their threads can live for longer without getting in the way of others.

That's like saying separate cashiers for old and young people is dumb. Just look at the results. Everybody's happier.
