Why Sup Forums no longer causes impact on the site?
Back in the day, thinking about Sup Forums was all Sup Forums, Sup Forums and Sup Forums.
Now it's all Sup Forums with little of Sup Forums and Sup Forums blend with it.

Social media.

The internet is now a cancerous normalfag shithole and technology is no longer for weird loner nerds.

gamergate and murrican elections were a mistake

hi......im new.................... can someone tell me how to do this, thanks ............

Because Sup Forums is not the most popular board, and Sup Forums is.

Because normalfags make up the majority of the world and that's starting to be reflected on Sup Forums now as well. Newfags were a mistake.

That's what it says.

Can someone tell me why like half of all threads are started by spics now?

Because we're content with this, we'd probably do more stuff if we would think it would be more fun than what we normally do, we still do projects every now and then so that's cool, also it might add more to the reason that we're entertaining our selves well enough that we have no reason to do stuff outside the board.

...

Because people will tolerate and respond to threads made by people who can barely speak English?

Because Sup Forums got overrun by normalfags and kiddies and Sup Forums is no longer in the top 3 most active boards.

...

wow, smaller than i thought.
that means lurkers make a vast fucking percentage of users in the site right?

"Sup Forums should rangeban all non US or Japanese IPs from the entire site"
-Akari Akaza Episode 11 of Hidamari Sketch.

New dragon ball Z movies were the gateway, the big shounen series kept them here, and DBS starting was the final nail in the coffin.

Sup Forums isn't as large as those boards (with the probable exception of Sup Forums) and anime doesn't attract a lot of new users, Newfag Central changed from Sup Forums to Sup Forums, and most of them are familiar with tv shows, western movies and vidya, not to mention the overall attitude of each board, Sup Forums is easily the most hostile to outsiders and has a reputation of being elitist, so less people feel motivated to come, it's a good thing in my opinion

If someone posts the phoneposter graph following gamergate, you'll have your answer why.

>that means lurkers make a vast fucking percentage of users in the site right?
No, there is no evidence to support that conclusion.

Sup Forums lost its influence around 2011. way before gamergate. stop acting like you know shit

Well old days there were a lot of lurkers on Sup Forums but that probably changed over time

Sup Forums has sadly become far less elitist and more tolerant to newfags and things like spoonfeeding, poor spelling and grammar, and shit series. We have continuous generals for Naruto/Boruto now for fuck's sake. I've even been seeing serious discussions on e-celebs recently.

You guys are paranoid as fuck, I don't see half the threads being started by anyone who is visibly spanish and you don't either. Except in your mind.

>Well old days there were a lot of lurkers on Sup Forums
No, there is no evidence to support that conclusion.

Outsiders with no respect for the internal culture.

According to Moot back in the day the majority of the board was lurkers.

Didn't moot say he would have to range ban Japan because a ton of traffic was coming from there but they were just lurking so there really wasn't a point for wasting bandwidth there or something probably maybe ? ? ?

Go look in a DBS thread once in awhile. It'll blow your mind.

Explains a lot. The Trump election was the nail in the coffin for this site.

- moot retired.
- Sup Forums took over for Sup Forums as the newfag depot.
- The rules protect Sup Forums from funposting and newfags from properly enculturating themselves.
- Hiro expanded the staff to give these people power and enforce their idea of what Sup Forums should be.

There's a variety of reasons, and they're not singularly responsible, but those four combined are the biggest culprits.

Whatever goes on in a DBS thread doesn't equate to starting half the threads on the board.

>Sup Forums is not first
Faster boards tend to be worse, so I'm kind of okay with this.
What's bad is that the popular boards are filled with people who care nothing for Japanese media and think anime is some weird aberration infesting "their" site.

It's always been like that. Just annoy them and they'll go away.

>- Sup Forums took over for Sup Forums as the newfag depot.
What the fuck is even the point of Sup Forums anymore?
It feels like a totally separate entity from the rest of the site now.

because some people who have no business here in the first place, do it for free

Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and Sup Forums were split into multiple boards due to their massive speed. Sure, not compared to Sup Forums, but combined we wouldn't be so far behind.
There's less to talk about these days since access to older anime is limited, newer anime is just waifu trash anyway, and Japan is going through its spring and isekai period which is giving mediocre.
I think a lot of the fire is gone too. Shingeki no Kyojin 101 would have had a bigger mania if it was released in 2007 instead of 2017.

Eternal Septembers roll into eternal Junes. Today's newfags are tomorrow's oldfags. It's the just the way of things.

>uTorrent
>Win10

where did all the cool people go? this feels like high school all over again, I'm left here stuck with you people.

Fuck off retard

As far as I can tell, it's been a porn board in all but name for the past few years. It's mostly there to trade amateur nudes.

I've held forever that we should just eliminate /trash/ and throw everything there into Sup Forums. The bronies alone would drive out the weak. When they made /mlpol/, I knew my theory was correct.

yeah, Sup Forums has become soft, but I meant the reputation, other boards think this place is "no fun allowed" just because shitposting isn't as rampant or accepted, aside from Sup Forums I browse Sup Forums, and in there is very easy to derail a thread into Sup Forums and when mods and jannies do their job they start bitching about it, meanwhile in here if a thread derails too much anons will start asking for the mods to take care of the trash

Sup Forums used to be where they'd dump shit that wasn't allowed anywhere else. Now they've all filtered out to /s4s/ and /trash/, leaving Sup Forums with no real reason to exist aside from tradition.

Sup Forums is for loli

>We have continuous generals for Naruto/Boruto now for fuck's sake.
Blame moot.
And OP, the answer is simple: normalfags.

It's more than just that.

/r9k/
/s4s/
/vip/
/bant/
Sup Forums
Sup Forums
/soc/
and /trash/ should be folded back into Sup Forums. Among others.

like 5% of the time
even furries have more regular threads
