Hiro formally allows one meta board discussion per board to be up at a time

Hiro formally allows one meta board discussion per board to be up at a time.

So, how are you feeling about Sup Forums?

bunch of beta athlete fanbois

It's kind of boring desu.

bunch of toughguys i'm in love with

Power Ranking comeback when?

dying

generals are terrible, so I filter them,
then the board is slow as fuck because everyone is posting in the shit generals

match threads are the only thing left keeping me coming back, and they are getting worse

add nation flags for the uk

>dying
you mean, dead

can we get some funnier posters?

Too much sports

too much Sup Forums

unironically this.


more off-topic funposting should be allowed

Separating Sup Forums and /asp/ was a mistake

Sup Forums was better when people from all different backgrounds would shitpost with each other. now it's fucking stagnant and boring as shit.

When did he say that?

Too much Sup Forums
Stale memes
Whenever a legitimate discussion topic gets brought up people just resort to stale memes, Sup Forums or Sup Forums which have many similarities. I don't think generals are the issue. They make up

Generals city

Also just make a board for heem and wwe. Sup Forums and especially /asp/ would be thankful. Go to /asp/ and look at how manchildren have ruined it.

lower the moderation
then people would't post so much in generals

Kill all Buyern fans!

Problem solved!

go to reddit, if you can't handle a loss

agree. rulecucks are the worst and they fail to see that we have 200 threads up at any time. a bit of funposting here and there only bothers cucks and janitors.

less Sup Forums and more laxed moderation
>for free

no it wasnt, mandrama is cancer and no one gives a fuck about skateboarding, hacky sack and whatever else gets posted in /asp/

>hate Buyern
>get advice to move to the Buyern headquarter

>the state of you

actually more people post in generals to shitpost and avoid getting banned

Mandrama should have its own board, the autists would fill it in no time. /asp/ has a lot of things like cycling, skiing, and snowboarding. The board is very slow and as a result mandrama shit all over its face.

>I don't think generals are the issue. They make up

>car chases
>eagles hatching eggs
>riots
>TURN IT ON CNN
>ass vs tits (sports edition)

was a much more fun time, you could expand your mind sometimes beyond stats and matchups

I mainly post here about ice hockey and as far as I know it the general was started as a containment.

I haven't been on Sup Forums as long as a lot of people (since around 2010), but man Sup Forums isn't nearly as fun as it used to be. Hell the same is true of every board that I use or used to use.

I know what 3/4ths of the threads on Sup Forums are right now without even having been there today, Sup Forums is Sup Forums, and Sup Forums is just boring now that football season is over. Sup Forums is actually reddit.

Maybe I've just sort of grown out of Sup Forums. I rarely post anymore on any board. I just click on a bunch of threads and hope I see something interesting. More often than not it's just the same rehashed shit. Maybe I just don't fit in with the community anymore since it's changed so much over the past 7 years.

>there was a corpse flower blooming on livestream and Sup Forums couldn't have a thread about it

>you could expand your mind sometimes beyond stats and matchups

is it one of (((their))) tricks to deny us any off-topic fun and turn us into stat machines?

If a thread reaches 50 replies or more jannies should not be able and Mods not be allowed to delete it because it's apparently of common interest (regardless the topic).

They aren't allowed to delete this, regardless.

Hiro literally made it a rule that one meta thread is allowed to be up at a time per board.

I got banned for doing one of these threads without the disclaimer.

Mods are faggots.

Last time I've been here this board was dead, very slow. Only a few generals would be bumped, threads would last days. Depressing, really.

At the time I theorized that a significant part of the board had left to Sup Forums and some agreed.

We have to invoke hiro and have him nuke the generals.

The trick is to use boards that don't get a lot of crossposter traffic like the niche interest boards or boards where the mods actually do their jobs.
And man if you think Sup Forums is bad you should see Sup Forums. It is fucking unusable.

Sup Forums is dying, the 2016 olympics confirmed it.

99% of this rests with the overzealous moderation team instilled by moot. I appreciate the effort in transparency hiro is trying to achieve but it's too little, too late.

I think he's talking about other off topic threads

>waa stale memes
have you ever crafted a meme yourself? do you even know how to photoshop?
do you ever bring something you find interesting so others can see?
that's how memes are born.

if there are no memes then do one yourself. do a modification you'd find funny and post somewhere. enough of this complaining.

Sup Forums isn't that bad.

I've been here since 09. Fucking hate this place. But /out/ and /trv/ and /o/ are good boards.

Sup Forums and Sup Forums are horrible. Worse than Sup Forums

>And man if you think Sup Forums is bad you should see Sup Forums
This. We've been joking about Sup Forums becomming Reddit for years now but Sup Forums, really, unironically, turned into fucking Reddit. I had to start going to the other chan for film and TV discussion

I know how you feel, except I feel that way the internet in general
I blame smart phones for making it easy for normalfags to go online

I actually like the strict moderation but thats because the most rest of Sup Forums is disgusting as fuck.

Yes yes I know that there was a mod that went apeshit years back when moot was in charge but if I see what a disaster rest of the website is I don't mind the strict modding desu. Funposting is only fun until it gets stretched like a vagina and ends up like Sup Forums

no fucking thank you.

feels bad

PAY MY HEALTHCARE BILLS

yes

hiro should make a /sports general/ board desu

It has been dead since '14. Already in '13 the mods cracked down hard. But the last years have been absolutely horrible. It's a fucking travesty what happened. Most of the userbase has left and migrated to other boards because it's simply very hard to have fun on Sup Forums if sports aren't on because of mods being little shits. FUCK I HATE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH. I remember waking up and looking foward to posting on Sup Forums. Now you wake up and it's the same threads over and over again. I don't mind generals but even they (at least the one I post in) are dead.

Bro, mods are deleting actual sports threads if they don't like you.

Well I mainly browse /hoc/ so you probably arent familiar with the Armenian poster. But I created this in paint. And I made a copypasta about Finlan.

rip

Define fun on Sup Forums. Because sometimes anons are just trying to hide behind shitposting.

I cannot fathom why these people don't just use /s4s/. That's not even the worst of it though it's the unabashed and I mean without shame Sup Forums posters and the_donald posters using that board.

Funposting, ya' know. Car chases, happenings, deep sea threads, powerrankings etc.
It felt like a community. If there are no sports on nowadays most of the board is slow af.

we're not as bad as say Sup Forums, but mods can got to hell for killing outlaw culture

if you started a thread with that, there is a reasonable case to be made that you're just shitposting. now if you were in some football thread and during halftime you make that exact same post, i dont think you get banned, because then it's just fun banter.

creating a purely shitposting thread should be a ban. maybe instead make a 'we talk shit about other sports' thread? sure, its the same thing, but its inviting other people into the fun, instead of out of the gate putting people on the defensive.

Sup Forums has been shit since generals started

And holy shit there are so many tripfags nowadays

Why don't you fuck back off to reddit?

Okay I can go with that

Can't find that last one on reddit.

Fucking hell, m8. Imagine unironically defending this. Was I hoping for replies? Sure. But Sup Forums is so dead nowadays I just wanted a bit of fun to see how Americans will defend it.

>And holy shit there are so many tripfags nowadays
Maybe in Ameri/sp/, but Yuro/sp/ has almost no trips nowadays.

Are there though? Sup Forums used to have hundreds of tripfags.

Maybe it's different for American Sup Forums, but Euro Sup Forums barely has any.

because amerilard sports attract the worst posters

offseason generals should be banned

This. The board has been lame since shitposting began in earnest in early 2010.

Flags are cancer, creating involuntary tripfags for most small countries.
The false flag posting excuse is bullshit, except during the World Cup, MAYBE.

Mods need to kill the spamming, repetitive posts. The problem is that I don't think anyone is a regular in the threads.

...

There are 5x posts " go back to pol" compared to posts from pol.
Also, any unpopular opinion is labeled aa Sup Forums.

This nigg right here

Can you imagine a Sup Forums without /trb/, flags and tripfags, but funposting was allowed?

this

its just an excuse for tripfags to shitpost and suck each other's dick. /nfl/ is the worst for this reason

Most boring this board has ever been. Most everyone is in their own general and everyone else just come to post about cucks and muh flags.

Ok "not from Sup Forums" user, enlighten us to the difference between an unpopylar opinion and a Sup Forums post.

>I had to start going to the other chan for film and TV discussion

Stop banning people for sports related banter threads.

Good luck trying to do anything on local Sup Forums besides posting stale forced memes with underaged crossposting redditors. The other Sup Forums is slow, but significantly better

the amerifat mod cant take the banter

Neither lose weight.

>Amerifat mod in charge of handling the banter

kek I hat Sup Forums as much as the next user but here's a blind shot at page 1 right now:
>TWD shill
>BvS shill
>Justice League shill
>GotG2 posting
>3-4 Sup Forums post relating to Dear White People or Netflix
>2 Bane posting threads
>cunnyposting
>one thread each on Moonlight, Arrival, and Manchester by the Sea
Someone go check how close I am.

The board died in the latter half of 2012. Fucking sad as this was one of the funniest places on the internet before 2010

Instead of complaining pointlessly because mods are niggers, why don't we all just leave this shit and let it die?

Sup Forums used to be like a sports bar. The threads were always primarily about sports, especially when they were live on TV, but given that we're all a bunch of guys who like fun, we also talked and joked around about guy stuff, current events (especially if they were exciting), girls, feels, our favorite TV shows, music, etc. This board had "bro culture" and it actually felt like a tight community and every day I looked forward to coming here.

Then the jannys/mods started cracking down, heavily, and the outlaws put up a good fight for a while (resulting in things like on a regular basis), but ultimately, you can look at the catalog and quickly see that the jannys and mods ultimate won out. As a result I never come here anymore. This board is absolute shit now. Instead of being like a sports bar, now it's like a small little nerd convention full of rulefag pussy nu-male redditors who hate fun.

I understand that allowing bro culture can cause things to be out of hand, but for years, it worked. Even so, what's wrong with a compromise of allowing X bro-culture threads up at any given time? This way you make Sup Forums actually fun and interesting again and give it it's soul back. It also makes it so bro-culture doesn't dominate other things. Furthermore, since it will be known by all that only X bro-culture threads will be allowed up at any given time, Sup Forums will largely self-police itself because it doesn't want to ruin the ability to shitpost/have bro-culture threads.

In such a short time Sup Forums went from being one of the best boards to literally one of the worst, most boring boards, and that is a direct result of the increased moderation. Unless things change it'll continue to be the pile of shit (boring shit at that) that it is.

>>the amerifat mod cant take the banter

Why is he so SEETHING?

Good to see people who get it. I actually miss having fun with Americans.

Duly noted but to play devil's advocate we've seen what lax moderation can result in e.g. Sup Forums leaks becoming full blown and ruining entire boards.

Move /heem/ to /asp/ when?

>unironically getting a 3 day ban for this

Remember when we thought moderation in 2013 was bad? Amazing how they constantly went madder and madder.

Removing threads will do nothing.

>3 day ban
You mean like 2.5 minute ban, right?

...

...

it will stop spamming of multiple boards that they fight over it will stop the scat &homo porn that they post when they have their autistic spazz episodes and it will give them more room to have other generals.

>no "what are you currently listening to?" threads
>no car chase threads
>no "the price is right" threads
>no WSHH threads
>no power ranking threads

feels bad man
also, the "liberalism is a mental disease" threads were good to contain all Sup Forums related stuff in one thread

The problem with Sup Forums is you give them an inch they take it as implicit permission to spam entire boards non-stop. I pray every day they get the pony treatment.

Then deal with the Sup Forums leaks if it gets out of hand. Or make it so Sup Forums threads are not allowed (they were rare/non-existent in Sup Forums's glory days and are not what made it great so it doesn't matter). But power ranking threads, feels threads, ass threads, American/Europoor banter threads, car chase threads, "yo I'm about to order a pizza for the game what toppings should I get" threads, etc., have nothing to do with Sup Forums, it's very easy to spot the difference.

/HEEM/ WILL LITERALLY

AND I MEAN LITERALLY

NEVER DIE

>>no "what are you currently listening to?" threads
>tfw I still sometimes post those threads but get few replies and then banned

Meh, I don't like their real mandrama but don't care enough to remove threads. It's still a sport ffs.

/nfl/ is over
there's nothing to debate because the patriots are TOO good
see you guys next fall

Right, from the outset it's easy to tell the difference between a Sup Forums OP and a bro-culture OP, it's when you get 100 replies and 1/3 of those are Sup Forums related the mods are struck with the option of deleting individual comments by waiting foe them to be reported individually just not allowing those threads to exist in the first place.

the only thing that separates Sup Forums from Sup Forums is specific moderation. again, you can shitpost, bant, make fun of people, but you have to do it in a certain way, or else.

oh waaa, i want there to be some semblance of coherent posts in my specified board waaa
