What happened?

why is Sup Forums so fucking empty? Only active threads with a "decent" amount of posters are the same old generals. Most original threads are left aside or completely ignored.

Sup Forums got mainstream

the old posters have left for greener pastures

its summer how about you get out once in a while?

1. Shrinking number of anons in general.
2. Last third of a season.
3. Newfags are stuck in their generals and don't care about one-off threads.

Sup Forums is dead zone not sure why I am still here but there is still some occasional gold from time to time but the truth is that its mostly visited by underage or braindead. Imma get crucified but you get more decent conversations on reddit then here nowadays

I only post in some threads and none of them are up, the rest is only generals and I don't go in them.

there are greener pastures?
sign me up senpai

>Sup Forums got mainstream
yet one would have thought a board like Sup Forums would be more populated

How about you link the so-called "original" threads here and we'll be the judge of that.

Easy, the good posters left when the new posters arrived. Now that the good posters are gone, the new posters are going back to whatever shithole they came from

its just waifushit there is a reason people stay in their generals but I do agree with OP that Sup Forums has been kinda dead

>only hid 33 threads
>suddenly Sup Forums became much slower
I assume most of those generals frequenters never bothered to check other threads

Funny story. Turns out hoarding porn from the panda is a better time waster than shitposting here.

>you get more decent conversations on reddit
you're part of the problem

Hiroshima is randomly range banning people to jew people into buying passes. Every couple weeks I get caught in one and it takes anywhere from a few days to over a month of begging on feedback to get it lifted. I imagine most people this happens to aren't as pathetic or dependent on Sup Forums to live as I am so end up just leaving for good.

Season is coming to an end burns a lot of people out from Sup Forums for a little.

> anime isnt dying i swear
There is a reason we get tons of reboots. Yes there are some gery good quality drawn animes but they dont draw as much money as lets say Naruto/Db type of anime. Most animes arent even streamed on national television like before so younger audience wont grow up with it and nostalgia is a key factof

Happens to me from time to time I gotta wait one week then its good.
> implying anime curiosity ever ends
when a door closes another opens
you're wrong the major problem is piraty and lack of dvd sales

there is no mainstream anime this year like : SAO/OPM/AOT/DBS

Generals hoard most discussions and are also a safespot for newfags. As said, those who care for quality and discussions likely left.

is there actually a place on the internet where anime is discussed? Please tell me where!

heaven

You haven't been praying enough to God.

This is why this board is dead >

fucking niggers

People are leaving for Facebook, Reddit, Discord, and Youtube. A good amount of the meme-spouting faggots with anime pictures on social networking sites were probably Sup Forumsnons at one point.

Or they're still here.

People try but they are either ignored or called out as "reddit" and bombed with "le ironic shitposting", newfags think that Sup Forums is just to tell everyone to fuck off.

If you don't like waifu wars, fap threads, and best girl posting, then Sup Forums and anime isn't for you.

Thinking about which girl is the cutest and imagining what it would like to date cute girls is the PRIMARY reason people watch anime and come to Sup Forums. Anime is purely an outlet for the sexual imagination.

If you don't like it, leave. Sup Forums doesn't need you.

It hasn't changed much.

>generals are good
You're the problem.

list of Sup Forums deaths off the top of my head:
becoming a focal blame point by pranks made elsewhere on the internet
Sup Forums goes from anime/random to random
getting popular
/l/ closes
4channel textboard split-off
every other spinoff imageboard/textboard
going full mainstream
appearance on news
increased moderation
internet goes mainstream
2006 anime boom
increased number of boards for topics I don't care for
normies
addition of captcha, killing sagebombing threads you don't like and fun/quick elitist samefagging
smartphones
Sup Forums pass
reddit
removal of textboards (rip /prog/)
I definitely forgot a few

and anime has been dead since like 1970 and every season of anime is the worst season ever

2007 was 10 years ago

>reading comprehension

pretty much this but you forgot era of the Naruto cancer

It's been like this for quite a while. Where the fuck have you been?

I miss ronery threads.

Post cooldown is too long, bump limit is too big. It's literally designed for forum-type posting instead of lots of inane comments like we used to.

>Hiroshima is randomly range banning people to jew people into buying passes.
>Every couple weeks I get caught in one and it takes anywhere from a few days to over a month of begging on feedback to get it lifted.

Yeah I spend almost a month at a time range banned randomly twice a year. Though it only applies to generic blue boards like Sup Forums, Sup Forums and Sup Forums. Can shitpost on shitposting boards or tiny boards just fine.

The real reason is that the past few seasons have been shit. I'm really hoping CG season 3 revitalizes this place.
