Is it just me, or did Sup Forums become much... slower over the last year?

Is it just me, or did Sup Forums become much... slower over the last year?

Who is to blame? Sup Forums? /his/?

I see the same amount of memes as always

having over 9000 generals on the board at any given time killed the board

Way slower. It's the amount of generals, autists keep locked in their own threads talking to their own countrymen, so there is less interaction.

No, we just have a bunch of generals so while there's now a more diverse amount of languages being spoken here, there's less actual content that can be understood globally.

this
The ones to blame are the idiotic generals

imma tryin to bring Sup Forums's lightheartedness to Sup Forums tbqh

i left like two weeks ago to follow the election happenings in pol
i really don't like that board but coming back here it feels fucking slow

yep, i used to refresh and always have new threads every time now they easily last all day and there's barely ever a new thread

i saw that thread about yoga pants yesterday before sleeping, now it's the evening and it's still in the catalog somehow

i think
1. generals suck
2. all the Sup Forums refugees probably went back there after moot unfucked their board
3. /his/ stole all the threads about how muh country is better than yours and wikipedia screencaps of battles

To discuss what exactly this entire board is as bad as Sup Forums. All we ever to is regurgitate a meme long enough so it becomes a cancer. Easter meme, for example. This is the level of """""""discussion on international culture"""""""" we have here.

Me. It was me the whole time.
I did not think it would really happen.
I'll be gone now, goodbye.

>tfw to smart for Sup Forums

Generals

Just look at literally all big gets, it's always some random blog post in a general.

ummm..let's see here

>*scrolls through logbook*

ah, yes, for the months of Jan-Oct 2016, i averaged 57 ppd (posts per day) on Sup Forums and 89 ppds on Sup Forums whereas i averaged around 107 ppd for the same time last year on Sup Forums

so, yes, it has kinda gotten slower

to have a sfw Sup Forums-lite without all the porn and the literal 12yos and the twitter raids and the insane posters and THE POSTING IN ALL CAPS

or in other words, Sup Forums for europeans
which is basically what it is already except europeans don't have a common language hence all those generals

I blame Canada desu senpai

but that's what makes this board fun
we have great memes here, it's like a happy b+pol(+lgbt) hybrid :3

>lgbt

>or in other words, Sup Forums for europeans
it is quite eurocentric, perhaps that's why i like it, but it's pretty inclusive overall. even the leafs and burgers are pretty good on this board, it's comfy

>that flag
>not gay
:3

I remember the time when Sup Forums and Sup Forums were almost equally fast, with similar amount of posts. It was around 2013-2015. It was the second half of the 2015 when things started going to shit - Sup Forums became much faster, while Sup Forums is on decline right now. I think one of the main problems was introducing flags to Sup Forums - I feel like a lot of people migrated there since then.

I don't really remember history related threads being very popular on Sup Forums, this is one of the reasons why /his/ was created in the first place. I do believe, however, that what is killing us is overly strict moderation. Remember when we were allowed to discuss basically ANYTHING here, assuming it didn't break the rules? Well, now we can only discuss the "international culture" and languages, and nothing more. Literally nothing more. It leaves us with "why is x country so shit" and "how do you say y in your country", aside from generals. We once used to have fun threads about politics, philosophy, etc. Not anymore. They all get banned and redirected to Sup Forums.

>people complain about Sup Forums being full of generals so the ability to understand and experience other cultures is diminished
>everyone is speaking in english

Jag har badat i bajs men detta är det värsta jag varit med om (swedish saying about something being worse than you thought at first glance)

translated to english it's "I've bathed in poo but this is the WORST i've ever seen."

pol is faster than b now i think
int is still the comfiest board imo - i crosspost on others but apart from g (i don't use anime or vidya boards) they're all pretty slow

maybe after the elections things will get back to normal

Do people unironically go on Sup Forums?

This is the only board I really go to, because the rest are shit.

>I don't really remember history related threads being very popular on Sup Forums, this is one of the reasons why /his/ was created in the first place.
that's weird i remember the opposite, plenty of generally history-related threads now they're all on /his/
iirc in the days before /his/ happened there was even some sort of /his/ general on Sup Forums and they kept bitching that they wanted their own board

>I do believe, however, that what is killing us is overly strict moderation. Remember when we were allowed to discuss basically ANYTHING here, assuming it didn't break the rules?

True some threads get deleted i have no idea why, they clearly belong here.

Why isn't the international board not allowed to discuss international politics ?? bullshit

It must be the hole left by the proto Finnish-Korean war.

I used to browse here constantly from 2013 to early 2015. This is my first time back in a long time and I'm really sad to hear this board is starting to die.

I actually credit my discovered interest in global politics (which ultimately lead me to my current career) to the constant onslaught of foreigners berating me on Sup Forums all those years ago.

Hopefully within the next two years I can start giving back to the international community in general

>(which ultimately lead me to my current career)

What that?

lack of boipussy and qt traps is what killed this place

how are we going to talk with you if we can't understand each other ? this is the point of the common language

and don't say people should go in generals to learn the language because generals are shit
either they're some gay circlejerk where everybody knows each other like /fr/ or they're just a chatroom
like /brit/ which goes through 1 thread an hour and 99% of the posts are some retarded one liners, are you seriously defending this ?

Why don't Brazilians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?

The only reason i defend it is because of sverigetråden i've followed it for 2 years now. That's why i am biased.

But you're saying that circlejerk is bad, and oneliners are bad

What's in between that? What we have now? I'm okay with that, but it's just so dull and boring to repeat the same stuff every day. That's what happens if you dont have a base of users that can have a conversation.

>circlejerk or oneliners
>only conceivable options for human interaction
maybe we could all have discussions on various topics and encourage some level of genuine international interaction and cultural exchange.
maybe everything doesn't have to be restricted to obtuse chan social norms
maybe we can just have dialogues as normal human beings

dumbass shit lowbrow hummus dipped Swede faggot
>Scandinavian opinions = fragmented "human" thoughts
Ban Sweden.

Okay, im for this. Make it happen.

Hey atleast it didn't became like Sup Forums. That board used to be good and now it's shit

im sorry i called you a faggot.

No worries, I'm not a faggot that gets offended.

MAKE INT GREAT AGAIN

Bump
We need to discuss the current state of Sup Forums.

all the stupid generals for the stupidest of regions

I don't even understand mämmi one bit and never post there

why wouldn't you just go to ylilauta

/his/ because not so much history rolepay anymore

Sup Forums since murrica too busy with their trump luv hillary rant

Do we still have a relatively normal, social, functioning adult userbase here?
I've noticed that board deaths tend to go hand in hand with NEET takeover.

/fit/ and Sup Forums are shit now because the interesting talkative socialites left.

>Sup Forums
>Good

Maybe at some point in the distant past

At this point it's just forced memes and autists with a grudge against the janny spamming porn threads

I found that it got slow after the new boss took over. Am i wrong?

Possibly. I've been spending the past few months on r/syriancivilwar so I'm pretty out of the loop here.
Only things I really notice that correlate with Sup Forums in general getting slower, duller, and generally worse:
1) new boss
2) demographic shift with pseudo-NEETs appearing en masse
3) alt-right spilling over everywhere and driving off most worldly people

Part of my AC adapter is still in the socket after I unplugged it just now. guess its all over for me gl int

>Sup Forums for europeans
>implying most of Sup Forums is not russian and russian proxybots

this
i can only speak for the norwegian one but jesus christ that general is fucking shit. even Sup Forums is better
