This website had such potential...where did it all go wrong?

this website had such potential...where did it all go wrong?

When it became a hugbox for Trumpanzees to chimp out

Could you elaborate on what exactly is so wrong about it?

dick rate threads happened

FB/Insta fap threads.

imo the issue is this is just a generic porn site now

less threads dedicated to just doing something retarded for the lulz

when dank memes replaced bullshit

also trap threads

Coming of age millenials

Also nothing holds sacred anymore

Also things are always better in retrospective

Also time passes as things seize to be innovative and engaging

Deal with it and move on

traps, "dank meme" shit, all the porn, i agree

dick rate threads are stupid, but it's fairly uncommon, and really just a small drop in the bucket

what would you guys like to see more of?

Traps and all the other faggotry ruined this shithole

Raids
People posting OC

Trump worship

there's an entire board dedicated for that tho, imo it's really just cluttering up Sup Forums

i like 's answer

the potential for anything lulz related has been completed eradicated by the "hurr durr durr not your personal army faggot" brigade

everybody knows its the traps, wwyd, fbig, log, /r/, pornwebm, and intense newfaggotry to the point it falsely indicates cancerous chan etiquette to be a-ok. It is the mods responsibility to stop, but they are long gone, and so is moot.


its up to a fraction of its own userbase to save itself now.

is the brigade still there though? this sounds kinda sad, but i haven't seen the brigade

why? because nobody even tries anymore

Good post but this place was headed downhill before that.

Agreed. Even personal army requests were fun because most of the time, the person doing the original request would get turned on and doxxed and chaos ensued. Now the threads don't even get a chance to get off the ground cos everyone is a complete faggot.

thrads wich would perfectly fit into /s/ , /hc/ or /lgtbqperxyz/ should be moved there.

that's all it would need to get /b back on track

do your fucking job mods!

why do americans live in goddamn basements? can you enlighten a non-american? because in most parts of the world, only hobos live in basements

for the people talking about raiding, got any targets in mind? nobody really sticks out. habbo hotel is diving in popular and has been raided so many times, it's gotten old. club penguin is gone.

i don't really see any good opportunities; for a raid to be fun, the victims actually need to give a shit. also idk how good people are at raiding now

i remember on new years eve i saw a thread try to raid boogie2988 stream, and failed miserably

Everytime I see anything that has potential, about 10 people post "hurr hurr NYPA faggot", and it never goes any further. I don't even think anyone on here knows how to dox properly anymore.

...

people have been posting "remember when b was good?" for nearly 15 years now

the site has always been garbage

i wouldn't mind taking part in a personal army at this point. anything is better than the shit being posted here

In the summer

Temperature is cooler down there. No need for AC. You can even see a woodstove for warming up and making some tea in OPs pic.

do you? I haven't tried it, i'm assuming it's just a bunch of googling and reverse image searching?

i remember once there was a thread where somebody said he'd livestream suicide but he didn't, but a bunch of people came to watch and screwed around for hours. it was fun.

Here's the thing about this. If the requestor actually bothers putting enough effort into the OP to provide the prospect of lulz to the readers, then it is different from just a personal army request. We now have two problems. 1) OP rarely does that anymore, and 2) the posters who respond are too dumb to know the difference even if the OP's request has potential.

When too many kids came together.

the fappening. thats what went wrong

do you think Sup Forumstards are getting stupider, or are simply more impatient, and unwilling to wait for the payoff? with entertainment becoming more easily accessible, it could just the new Sup Forumstards we're getting aren't willing to put in the time

I have a solution, but I'll need a request to throw that out.

Well, more broadly, the truth is that anything that has EVER brought public attention to Sup Forums has been bad for the community, no matter how funny it may have been at the time that it happened. The Fappening was a huge one but hardly unique, and not at all the first.

out of curiousity, why do you think the fappening ruined it? Sup Forums was featured in the news plenty of times before. you could argue a lot of newfags came for the porn, but i think most people got the leaks via reddit or something

I think it's a bit of all of the above. Also I should admit I have no idea how to dox somebody, even though I've been here a pretty long time now.

Creddit doesn't have anything leaking.
Just recycling memes.
Not the same thing happening here

the same place all the power cords in Op's pic went.

Most of the time they aren't even personal army requests anyway. A personal army request is only if OP sees to personally gain from the outcome. If it's just a, hey lets fuck with this person because they are a dipshit, that is NOT a personal army request.

why is it bad? newfags?
i'm still skeptical as to whether public attention would attract people who post cancerous stuff. If somebody sees something really lulzy and says "hey, i wanna do that", they'd probably be posting OC and raids too. I'm not really attacking your point; i agree that Sup Forums seems to get shittier with public attention, but idk why

blow it out your ass

does anyone in this thread know how to dox? i'm genuinely curious. like is it just fucking google and reverse image, iterate until you get what you want? or do the oldfags have an old trade secret?

When the government sent shills here and reddit fags discovered it. You can't find a single thread here anymore where someone isn't white knighting or being an SJW.

I'm thinking you're missing the point of /b

what point exactly is that?

I think your post summarizes the difference between a personal army request and some Sup Forums fuckery. the problem is people cna't make that distinction, and anything interesting just get labeled as a personal army request

I truly love that.
It was time they came here and make our balls tremble from their dogma training.

Project Chanology for Sup Forums, and the Cult of Kek for Sup Forums.

Most of these are just thinly veiled personal army requests these days. But honestly if there's an opportunity for entertainment, do you care? I'm not sure that I mind.

Why should Sup Forums do what some command from some anonymous faggot command?

tell me what the point is then user.
imo, there isn't a point. I'm not saying Sup Forums should be nothing but OC and raids, I'm just rationalizing the obvious change in content now compared to the past. sure, there was obv a lot of porn threads in the past, but the magnitude is nothing compared to now

isn't it unhealthily damp and moldy?

...

because depending on the request, it's entertaining. also, asking for a request often makes OP vulnerable; sometimes personal info is leaked and Sup Forums can turn on OP.

spotted the newfag

Fucking checked, Satan.

How much do you really value your well-being?

hey I like those

100%

Exactly. I couldn't give a fuck if its a personal army anyway and OP does gain from the outcome. If there is lulz involved, I'm in.

Why are you wasting your time on 4chinz then?

user might be a newfag, or he might not be, I'm not sure. But if you think he's a newfag just because he doesn't support Trump, that tells me more about you than it does about him.

Raids and other spontaneous shit still happen. It never was super common. You just had to get lucky and be there as it happened.

Do you really think there were epic raids and trolling events that made the news on a daily or even weekly basis?

It was a few times a year, just like it is now. You are just looking back at the 50 epic things that happened between 2006 and 2016 and acting like it all happened in a week or something.

For no other reason than solely for the lulz. Fucking shit up for the sake of it. That's it. Who gives a fuck about OPs motivation, if its funny, lets do it, that used to be attitude.

Its the same bullshit as always, nothing was ever better, stop acting like this site had more potential. it didnt and never will

...

Stop being butthurt by politics for 1 fucking second and just realize that Trump wasn't relevant before 2015, or even really 2016. 4chans history is much longer than that.

i can smell the newfag on you

You are just imagining things or shilling.

well..

Basements are good places for man caves, and its not like the basement is the only room in the house/whatever, use your foreign brain

it never had potential to be more than it is. It's format is a genuine copy of an existing format, content was always the responsibility of the user.

And I can sense enormous faggotry on you.

Not when you finish it. It's a large portion of your home going to waste otherwise.

...

yeah, i admit I could have a bias. I started browsing a few months before the tumblr raid, i believe.

that being said, there were a lot more OC threads. people drawing stupid stuff in MS paint and such. cartoon and hentai was more common than normal porn, more threads were derailed with spiderman. also there were a lot more threads dedicated to just getting dubs and trips. Sure, it's not necessarily amazing, but imo Sup Forums is just an inferiour pornhub

i think his point was that the whole trump drama is fairly recent; Sup Forums has been on the decline for some time now. imo the donald trump was a nice distraction actually, it resulted in people being more active: we got to play the ultimate capture the flag game

cool basement

i don't really think he benefits from shilling in this situation; i don't see your argument

I think it went a little something like this.

first, it was a sandbox.

then it became more like a stage for performances.

now it's just a stage with an audience.

why would i make stuff up for the purpose of this conversation? this is an open discussion about the current state of Sup Forums there is no point making shit up, everything is there clear to see

He's probably butthurt about some betas railing his sympathy that he's in platonic relationship with and want from Sup Forums to fuck their shit up. Again NYPA faggot.

The newfaggotry is strong with you. There is nothing here for you cancer, move along.

the threads being posted now actually don't seem as bad; maybe there's just a specific time of the day where things are shitty?

what's your problem with raids and OC? If you want porn, just go to pornhub

>move along
don't tell me what to do
NYPA faggot

>where did it all go wrong?
when it became accessible by mobile

there are still a few fun threads sometimes, making pornfags go would be great tho

>wah wah don't tell me what to do
13 year old cuck detected
there is definitely nothing for you here

nobody has pointed this out yet, but I think could be one of biggest reasons. I remember I saw a chart somewhere showing that non-mobile users are declining extremely fast

op here, 90 replies, 30 posters.

The fucking retards arguing back and forth, thanks for bumping my thread but you're both fucking cancer. Shut the fuck up already or ill delete this thread

>ill delete this thread
do it faggot

???
kinda ironic, considering you're defending the "NYPA" attitude, which is quite literally,

>wah wah don't tell me what do do

can you explain your thoughts on the subject? or are you just going to keep posting snarky shallow shit?

All the porn

Why can't they just ban porn and be done with it? Move all that gay shit to a dedicated board.

if anyone rolls dubs, delete thread user
don't be a pussy
do it fag

DOUBLE WINRAR
DO IT OP

Not just the gay shit. All of it. And don't actually ban porn, just dedicated porn threads. There's a major difference.

Funny stories, shitposting and innocent raids
