Generals and template threads are now "considered" board culture

>generals and template threads are now "considered" board culture
Since when was this the case? I don't recall this ever happening and if it is, we may as well just delete the board to save it from itself.

Times change, I am disappointed too. Its too late to save it. People making new seasonal anime threads with nothing to discuss but same sex shipping. All that can be done is just to deal with it and move on.

Don't forget about all the 3DPD blogshit. I fucking swear this place really is becoming reddit. I'm the last person to pull a boogeyman out of my ass but I really do think all this shit is far more like reddit, or other similar websites.
>inb4 we're all normalfags here, 3DPD was just a meme you virgin loser :^)

Lets face it, newfags outnumber everyone else now. Worst part is when they call everyone else newfags for not knowing their newfag memes.

Almost every thread is full of off topic images from Sup Forums. Just unfunny edits of non anime images

Sup Forums in 2016 is just another website to fall back on should you get banned from twitter, anything else is marginal and ultimately unimportant

Whats wrong with generals?

Oh wow, people make a thread to discuss a show instead of 10 threads to discuss highly specific parts of the show with half of those threads just being different versions of "I want to fuck character x".

The board is obviously dead.

It is a meme because you haven't realized how to attract girls and have relied on porn to get your sexual fix. The more time you spend looking at porn, the less interest you'll have in getting girls. It's that simple.

Liking 2D and 3D is not mutually exclusive; it is for insecure faggots though.

Nothing, just how they have zero discussion other than their shit ships and I want to fuck X and Y after the anime finished airing a few days ago.

They contain the shit. I know, what a complete travesty.

Everything. Sup Forums is an imageboard, not a forum. The bump limit exists to end topics, everything about this site serves to prevent stagnation and to encourage new content. Unfortunately people will just find ways to bypass all that, the main way being just making a new thread when the old one dies. The way Sup Forums was in 2006 is how it's supposed to be. If you don't like what some consider "spamming the board" and a general atmosphere resembling old Sup Forums, you don't belong here. Sup Forums isn't a safespace for your fucking fandom. Or at least it shouldn't be.

3D can never compare to 2D

People are confused. It's not that generals are the problem. It's that continuous, ongoing generals where there is nothing new to discuss until the next episode or chapter or the series is over but its still getting continuous threads that are the problem.

Basically discussion stagnates heavily and in the end it just turns into lewd dumps or worse. Just look how horrible the monmusu general got and that's even with monthly new content. Those flavor of the month manga where there are only like 2 chapters out often end up the same way (Shield hero threads became unbearable after the first week or so and were just people dumping the same edited reaction images and memes over and over again).

fuck off

you can't prove me wrong that you're a skinny ugly beta cuck

Yes, porn satiates my bodies need for sexual gratification and makes getting girls meaningless to it. That doesn't change the fact that I find 3D to be repulsive. It's not a meme, that's how it is. You can throw your reasons at me, but I just don't like 3D. Besides, I mostly just fap to my imagination, I don't watch 3D porn at all and haven't in years because, like Is aid before, 3D is repulsive to me. You can say you don't believe me and that you think everyone does like 3D, but you're just a faggot who can't imagine anything outside what's normal. Because you are a normalfaggot.

and now this thread went to shit.

>cuck
Everytime

Delete Sup Forums

Evolutionary biology proves you wrong.

...

retard fucking ape

Oh man, it'd be amazing to see what you guys look like. You would struggle to life a barbell with no weights.

generalfag found it

Who gives a shit

So what if evolution says I should reproduce? I don't give a shit, I still am repulsed by 3D.
>abnormalities don't exist in biological creatures.
You're a fucking retard.

Its better have shit generals + "good" threads when theres new material than no generals full stop.
After all no ones forced to partake in shit generals.

...

...

I'm skinny, weak, and I dress like shit. And I don't really care. If I cared, I would change that. But I don't. Because I don't have a need to.

You are fucking wrong. Generals don't contribute anything and never have

character x a shit. Worst girl.

All hail character z!

Wait, did we really win?
Nice.

Are we mean to contribute towards some greater goal? I thought we're just spending time before our inevitable deaths here.

obviously
a good 70% of this board is south americans in dragonball chatrooms

win what ?

a coupon to lower post quality as far as possible

This thread is worse than almost all if not all generals. You are just a bunch of retards.

you did a good job, go tell your general all about it

You can almost taste the new on this post.

Everyone who showed up out of the blue to shit on generals last week seems to be a crossboarder. These are the ones the mods are listening to.

...

I think it's mostly that mods hadn't done anything about them until last week and since something's actually being done, it's worth speaking up about.

>Everyone who showed up out of the blue to shit on generals last week
I think you might need to leave your general some times. People have been shitting on generals since their very inception quite regularly and loudly. It is the number 1 topic of meta discussion when it comes to Sup Forums on every board.

What you are looking for is all the people showing up out of the blue to defend generals to make themselves seem like the majority.

it was just a false flag, generals didn't do anything wrong, we're all good posters

Which is why I go to the other chan instead, It's like you reverted Sup Forums back a couple of years when it was slower but more quality and no shit generals or retarded captcha.

Fuck off with your 8gag bullshit. It's just Sup Forums, Sup Forums and reddit merged into a single website. You aren't helping your case in any form when you cite that trash site.

This

Generals degrade into degeneracy easy, and whats worse, it exists alongside decent discussion, or what little there is

Discussion threads should be able to flourish without being attatched to stupid degeneracy. Degenerate threads will be made, and then, as the natural order goes into effect they will be ignored and will be left to rot and fall off the board.

Personally, freeform stuff is a lot more liberating then everything being contained to a general. It's what makes things fun

So this is the average anti-generalfag.

The difference is that Sup Forums's traffic is much higher nowadays than how it was 10 years ago, which means more people want to discuss things. 500 posts aren't enough for any discussion about most shows because different people have different time schedules and arrive on threads at different times. Interest in any gives topic won't just magically disappear just because a thread reached bump limit, you know.
Still using this argument is clear proof that you don't use this board for what it was meant to be, I bet you don't even watch anime.

theres more, so far its come down to
more crying, demanding, false flagging, shitposting when a supposed general or general is up.

These guys make SJWs look good. its really terrible at times.

>It is the number 1 topic of meta discussion when it comes to Sup Forums on every board.
Who cares about what other boards think about Sup Forums? Most of them hate us because we usually get preferable treatment from the staff, so they want to shit on us whenever possible.

500 posts is actually too many posts. We need to go back to 300. The vast majority of threads actually die at around 200 posts discussion wise. Everything past that most of the time is artifically kept alive by people who just don't want the thread to die and try to generate discussion instead of letting the fucking thread die. The discussion is over. Thread is dead. Let it fucking die unless you actually have something to contribute to what is being said. Make a new thread instead fuckface.

That anons post actually holds ground, yours doesn't. You are the one who probably doesn't use the board.

Remove general.

350 would probably be the sweetspot for that.

Popular threads would take an extra couple hours to die with that extra 50 posts and that would spare us from going through 6 Flip Flapper threads a day.

"every board" doesn't suddenly mean not-Sup Forums. It does matter as well. It's an opinion held by people even outside of the board. When its something held by even non-Sup Forumsnons and people who actually fucking hate the board, it clearly shows there is a problem. Anyone who thinks generals are board culture and that removing them is shitting on/a/ is also retarded. It's ironic to call it board culture when generals are literally something that removes culture from a board and community and is about segregation of the board.

>Nothing, just that I dont understand what they talk about or like the series in question and that pisses me off

fixed for ya

user, you might have brain problems and hate anime. Did you know that more than 40 shows air every season? It's kinda crazy, but that's just how things are. Every weekday there's a new episode for something too, and after 7 days there's a new episode to bring even more life to discussions. I don't know how Japan does that. In any case, people like talking about anime and anime characters, no matter in which way. That's why threads have people who post in them. Not everyone can watch new episodes at the same time, so often enough they can only get into threads when they're about to reach bump limit. Thankfully, they can still join discussion about that episode, because people have enough tact to understand that often enough popular shows deserve more than one thread per airing day. That way, everyone who likes that show is happy.

Reducing the post count before bump limit to 300 would kill discussion about anything, because people wouldn't even be able to reply to each other's opinions. Banning threads about that topic for an entire week would do an even bigger job at killing anime discussion on Sup Forums. But on the upside, I guess there would be lots of space for memes and get threads, just like you want.

>pass user
>pass user since 2012

you are the problem

And so? Why should Sup Forums cater to people who don't even browse Sup Forums? Their opinions are irrelevant. If they want their opinions to be worth anything then they should lurk the fuck more.
