This is a Sup Forums meta thread concerned with posting-style.
I've noticed a distinct shift in posting style of many anons. I don't know if this is a Sup Forums specific thing or not, but it seems like nobody posts "the old way" anymore.
I'm not going to demonstrate it here, but I was curious if anyone else noticed a change in general post format.
>seems like nobody posts "the old way" anymore.
>formats post like a plebbitor
You do format your posts like a redditor, a site directly responsible for the deterioration of Sup Forums, though you do have good taste in philosophers if you're a fan of Diogenes...
>I'm not going to demonstrate it here
that's what I'm talking about! People are posting like this now.
Everyone is posting like this now.
I'm looking for an honest user..
..who can actually read and understand what I'm saying and why I'm posting like a fucking retard
This posting style is by far the best. Why does Reddit suck so bad though. Just make the site not shit. Why is that so difficult? It's like a 15 year old format or some shit. It's fucking hideous. Literally everything about it.
And I mean that this is the best style in case that wasn't clear.
And yes, I have found an affinity for D
>i am not gay
>not understanding what I'm talking about
reddit spacing cuck
MR user:Im not sure if the posting style has changed much like but ive been here since 06 and ive always posted like this, sweetie.
Am I in the fucking twilight zone? How can all of you be complete fucking idiots? Nobody knows what the fuck I'm talking about? How is that even possible!?
teach us the old ways senpai
You literally read like you're gay.
It is the weirding way...
The amount of stupid has ALMOST compelled me; Just so I can more easily explain this shit..
Seriously! Nobody knows what I'm talking about!?
Nope.
I can't say that I know what you're talking about.
This is obviously the only good way to post right?
Is Sup Forums a place where ideas are seriously discussed?
Alright.. Since no one seems to remember the
old ways, I guess I'll have to show you the way it
used to be. I don't claim to be an oldfag, but I sure
feel like one; explaining this shit to all of you.
This is the way we used to make comments. We
didn't hit space-bar after every sentence. We didn't
hit space-bar after every half paragraph.
We typed like retards and hit enter when the lines
got too long. That's the way it used to be. That's
the way I remember it..
Now all of you faggots type this long ass shit that
requires me to move my eyes all the way to the
right side of the screen. It's ridiculous! What happened
to the old ways!? What happened to the mistakes
I might have made to text formatting and that feeling
when it posted just how you hoped it would?
They're gone.. and this thread might be archived.
I should have waited for you...........
... i type like that and ive only been here for 2 years
it probably has something to do with phoneposters since everything already looks this way for them
I did that accidentally. I meant for the last part to be way way down the post.
>im baiting and that infact is the future of ironic shitposting. i made it extra sophisticated by pretending to be an oldfag.
also airoplanes are bad.
yea.. everyone types like reddit.. That was the whole
fucking point! I was trying to subtly draw out anons
who knew what I was talking about. Where the fuck
were you?
Have you taken you schitzo meds today?
what?
Like this?
Since when is using double spaces between thoughts considered a reddit thing? Where do you retards come up with these witch hunts.
God fucking forbid people don't post like this site is a goddamn chatroom. Not like you spergs would remember what that was like since decent post format is apparently foreign to you.
Well if I am the future of ironic shitposting, I
would like to be included in the screencap.
redpill me on x
is y degenerate?
is z our guy?
>We typed like retards and hit enter when the lines got too long. That's the way it used to be. That's the way I remember it.
I do claim to be an oldfag, and I sincerely think you're retarded and have been actively dragging down the quality of this site since you first arrived.
Go introduce your terrible post format somewhere else.
RRREEEEE
EEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEE
>Since when is using double spaces between

>God fucking forbid people don't post like this

>ftfy
No, but maybe.
I do prefer the "reddit" way. Yes I need to move my eyes but it also makes it easier to read long comments.
If you only write like this, it all looks like some
cheesy lyrics written by some teenaged
depressed person.
eat shit nigger faggot i still post the same
What in god's name are you smoking? Fuck.
The point! is that my retarded post format is the
way most anons would format their posts.
I don't see that formatting anymore. Perhaps every
user has finally graduated High School, and I'm
the only user left!
Redditors are a big fan of him now.
>hurr durr he flipped off alexander
>he badass bro
just a better version of your text formatting juice
i post like this too; been here 5 jahren nigga deez new niggaz needa stop flessin o dayz gunnget WOOP'D
This shit here is absolutely dogfucking insane; you move your eyes just as much laterally, but more vertically. Are you stupid? Did you take your eyem-knot-uh-tote-all-dumbass pill today. Get a job, commie faggot
No, seriously, do you SEE how shitty your post looks? Your attempt to greentext this garbage is hilarious.
This is precisely why no one ever posted like that. It looks moronic.
>I don't see that formatting anymore.
Because they never did that to begin with.
Seriously. What alternate universe did you drop out of? You're on Berenstein levels of failed memories.
people are all meta now cant tell if someone is out for the lulz or is an actual shill, or both.
i dont see the problem though its just harder to sift through the shit, but its better for people who actually know how this place works
ok.. 100 chars laterally equates to say 45 degrees, but YOU HAVE TO GO BACK, so it's 90 degrees.
now 50 chars laterally is 22 degrees, but YOU HAVE
TO GO BACK, so it's 44 degrees..
It's better
>It's better
It's not. It's spastic and a pain in the ass to quote.
I don't overthink the way I post. I guess you could consider it "reddit" but I do not even use reddit beyond being linked to them researching. Everytime I have to read through a thread on reddit I find the interface confusing as fuck.
I guess posting in bite size paragraphs just werks.
>44 degrees
to read half as much text. It's 88 to read the same WITHOUT going back. Fairly, it's 132
People posted like that here long before reddit was a thing. I'm almost half convinced they picked it up from us, if not both sites picking it up from an earlier source.
Been 11 years on Sup Forums and the only thing that doesn't change is how much of a faggot the OP is.
I forgot about the G-text. But that's part of posting!
Like you try to space your shit and green text and
sometimes you're too fucked up or just too stupid
and you leave something hanging.
THEN YOU POST! and it's a suprise what comes
out. You did your best and you hope it went the
way you wanted it to. Not including other anons.
People posted like this all the time! You don't see
it anymore.That's why I made this thread.
shills don't follow up on their own threads. They bot-it-up.
I'm seeing all this weird posting style. I'm sure
you see people remarking on it. People posting
like they come from somewhere else. I just
wanted to know if anyone remembered posting
like this.
Tell us more bout the past user
Yeah Sup Forums has been invaded by trumpshills
You're remembering wrong. I promise.
You will never find screenshots that look like this outside of mobile format because they don't exist. They never have.
You type like a fag
I hope all you fucking faggots get raped
>quote
can't come up with your own shizz, huh?
Yea, we should tailor our posts just in case someone wants to quote us. You sound like an SJW.
>sugarless oatmeal: the post.
I couldn't do the math, so I just made it up. I
would be interested to know some real math on
the subject.
I have noticed a shift in Sup Forums over the past few months. I blame the influx of /r/The_Zionald posters.
I was wrong, but think about it this way:
let's assume each character is 1 unit wide. If you
t
y
p
e
l
i
k
e
t
h
i
s
You're switching directions once per character. If you type like this, you don't switch as often.
I WAS wrong though; you always do two character widths unless you stuff it all on one visual line
>Yea, we should tailor our posts just in case someone wants to quote us
Obviously. Why would you post your thoughts online if you weren't looking to engage in a discussion?
I think you've got some egregious ideas about Sup Forums in general and mistook passive aggressive bitching as something earnest.
>checked
I don't know a lot about that shit. I been here for a
while, but it all blends together. However, I fucking
know that mofos used to post this way. Seriously,
I wondered about it. "How do these anons always
post like this? do they really hit enter after a certain distance?"
This was even before this text box shit. So you didn't
know how big the box was, you just had to make
that shit up!
You could type "nigger" into the captcha and it
would let you post.
Oh.. quick poll: image vs typing captcha? what do
you think?
Nice try ctr 2.0
i don't know how to format. I'm one of those guys that just keeps typing and it looks like shit
I remember a time without captcha. What you're talking about never happened. People didn't just type and hit enter randomly. We were able to tell what our posts would look like before posting.
You're absolutely retarded if you think that's how things were like. Go on, find us screenshots of posts done in your way. You won't find any. Even the real old stuff has proper text formatting.
Tbh, you haven't managed to express a single coherent thought in this thread. Your writing reads like the rambling of a goldfish.
>muh eye movement.
Idiot, like that matters. Use all of the screen space. Otherwise posts are longer than the logs of shit dangling from your anus. The more lines in a post, a thread, the more people have to scroll.
I get your example.. sorta x+x+x+x
vs x+y+x+y+x...
try this: move your head from extreme left to extreme
right, back and forth a few times. Then move from
extreme left to half right, and back and forth...
Which one is more efficient? Booyah Grandma!
..I think when multiple lines of text are closely
grouped, it's much easier to read them.
>complete homo faggot
(You)
>closely grouped
wat
I have noticed a shitpost in Sup Forums over the past few minutes. It is OPs post.
>pretending there's A FUCKING FORMAT for posting on an Mongorian Shittywall Posting Area
If you were legit, you would at least acknowledge
this posting style as being something people did.
If you expect me to believe that 4ch had a post
preview feature.. No, I won't believe it: KYS.
Also, having all the text in the same spot allows
people to read faster. So go fuck yourself.
No. I'm in y 30's and well versed
on some of the subjects here. I have
been here for a coupe of onths and in
that short time I've noticed the difference.
No one wants their eyes really opened.
I'll hang out on some other boards for awhile
and see if this
CANCER passes...
Personally, I think /pol has caught
the public eye and is falling
victim to it's new found popularity.
Retards and shills seem to be multiplying.
There are a lot of brains out there kid. How can you be sure that you've ever even been so far as to be in the same thread as another user you've encountered before in the first place, fag?
>you would at least acknowledge this posting style as being something people did.
Screenshots are valuable.
>There are a lot of brains out there kid. How can you be sure that you've been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
patterns on Sup Forums shift all the time, lurk more faggot
We are going to be in it soon
In a word? Phoneposting.
Bingo.
T. Phoneposter
Is this a song?
yea, it's pretty easy to identify people by the way
they post. That's all I wanted to point out here.
Listen up kid, this place has a thing called IDs.
That's how I know. And when I know, I find them.
And when I find them I teach them. And when I
teach them, they learn..
The learn the lesson that I teach. And sometimes
the lesson they learn isn't the one they thought
they were gonna learn. DO YOU HEAR ME!!
I recognize that it wasn't a subtle remix, but I reserve my right to do and say whatever the fuck I please on this site.
>browse pol since a bit before it went to 4ch*n
>use multiple styles of writing and capitalization/punctuation
>sometimes use pol instead of Sup Forums merely because lazy
you stand in the middle of a stream and remark that the sand under your feet is shifting, with disdain in your voice! the testimony of a fool!
One-posts are spam, one-line writing prompts are spam, irrelevant garbage and reposting faceberg flotsam and dropping one fragment and then demanding that everybody else make a thread for you is spam.
Are there newfags? Then let them conform, let them learn to write. There is not only the attack of ShareBlue: there is the attack on the attention span and on the formation of thought. Writing like a shill is not a new style, it is being a shill.
are you saying your a fool?
c'mon user, don't put yourself down like that
are you drunk?
I immediately read that as if you were drunk..
Ur a faggot dude.
Also IDs are thread specific retard, so that means my point still stands.
Listen kid,
You can say what you want, but it's always you
that you have to answer to. So be true to yourself
and when you fuck up and make an ass out of
yourself. Well, that just means your an asshole.
You gotta deal with that shit, kid. Be the best
asshole you can!
This
nice trips
It just allows for a more conversational atmosphere, as though you're pausing as you would during spoken discourse.
you just sold me on your ways
OP is a schizo spergfag.
