Is anyone else just incredibly bored with Sup Forums?
Every day it's the same old bait threads, the same old LARPing, the same old angry faggots trying to pick fights.
Sup Forums has a massive flaw that cannot be fixed. Baby tantrum behavior gets the most attention. People don't really want to talk about stuff, they just want attention, and that's primarily because most of Sup Forums's user base are computer addicted loners.
I can't remember the last time I had a good discussion on this board, or even had fun.

This board died last year, its corpse is infested with the maggots of capeshit and memeshit.

It was bad but at least people were still discussing films. Now there's just... nothing.
Sebastian Long
the problem is nobody even replies to threads about actual film discussion, that's not even why most people are here.
Jace Moore
And everyday we get meta threads complaining about how shitty this place is.

A problem with this board in particular is that a lot of people who post here are stupid. You can tell they are very young and have only a basic overview of film and the medium's history. Proof is in the millions upon millions of superhero threads Game of Thrones threads, etc. The porn spam and pedo spam seems to be trying to counter that, but it is more akin to putting out fire with gasoline and only making the board even worse. I've been here since about 08 and even with the Abatap/Clockwork Orange/What's that a scar spam it was never this bad, but maybe I'm just getting old and tired.

Sup Forumsedditors and Twitter fags destroyed this board for good after bvs came out. It brought in a bunch of actual idiots that tried to hard to fit in. The word "kino" fucking ruined this board
Eli Fisher
I have no beef with you man. You're angry at the wrong person.

There's a pernicious opinion that 'Sup Forums was always shit' or that 'people were already saying Sup Forums was getting worse when -i- first got here' used against anyone who brings up the self-evident degradation of quality across the whole of Sup Forums, as if the fact that it was getting worse 7 years ago means it couldn't have gotten exponentially worse since then (which it has).
Other posters try to insist that board quality is cyclical, like there are phases in board quality that come and go when more realistic board lifespans are organic with periods of intense activity that slowly solidify and stagnate into senescence, a pale imitation of its former self. The fact of this can be seen across Sup Forums. Sup Forums for example used to be the cultural epicenter of the entire site and now it's a gross exaggeration of all its worst aspects with none of the manic activity and community that once made it so alluring. Sup Forums was one of the most active boards on Sup Forums and its been cowed into inactivity by overmoderation. The addition of still more boards futher splits the attention and activity of posters.
My point is in writing all of this, I guess, is that Sup Forums follows the pattern of an organic life and it entered into its twilight years before most posters today even started posting. Some of that has to do with the proliferation of online devices and the new 'normalfag' sensibility that comes with it. The extraordinary increase in permeability of cultural transmission between Sup Forums and the rest of the internet which makes the site more and more like the rest of the internet (to the obvious deterioration of quality), and the decay Sup Forums from its own thing with a complex array of tools and signs that made it intimidating to new users to being just another stop on the average internet users retinue of websites alongside twitter, facebook, and reddit

I'm a little bit bored but also this is the only place where I feel safe when I feel like I'm going insane and desperately want to die. >inb4 No, my life is objectively not that bad, I have internet and food.

Why are Game of Reddit faggots allowed to spam 20+ Game of Reddit threads every day, despite having a containment general? It's clear they feel their posts don't get enough validation by (You)'s there so, instead, they shit up the board with countless mindless threads about the same shit on a daily basis. Usually it's even just some pathetic fucking one-liner excuse of a discussion about the latest episode, which definitelty belongs in /got/.

>game of thrones drowining the front page >late night, memes are spammed relentlessly >nobody replies to actual movie threads without it being prefaced by some bait
Alexander Torres
I'd say it's out of a complete misunderstanding of the medium. A lot of the posters on here just watch whatever torrents are fresh and whatever camrip of what's in theatres.
I expect the average poster on this board to be film fluent from the mid 2000's- now. With the earliest of the knowledge going to Jaws and the start of the blockbuster era
Matthew Hall
I think because Sup Forums became more popular more people "come for the lulz". And the recent election caused Sup Forums to blow up and newfags from there come everywhere. The pedo spam is annoying as hell. Shit look in the past month and find a thread that didn't fall into >Is this Xkino >Memes(i.e Sneed and bane posting) >What is a film that let's me do(off topic shit) >Fucking niggers/Jews/sjw/white people >Got >Capeshit >Porn >Dies before 45 post Worst is Sup Forums and Sup Forums deal with this shit the only difference is replace pedo with waifufags. Both boards need better mods and harder punishments

then fuck off back to plebbit then. shoo shoo normalfag!

Why are we not allowed to have news threads here? Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums and the likes can dump whatever garbage they want here yet we can't discuss the greatest year since 1999 when everyone was freaking about the 2000 thing

It's really too bad that Julian Assange ruined usenet by releasing the hipcrime tools after abusing the supersede function to throw everything into chaos

At least we have comfy af LOTR threads sometimes.

I don;t follow

Ya, I know what you mean. Most of the time, I don't mind the bait-meme threads, but today I was getting pissed at them.
What gets me the most is just the ridiculous amount of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and whatever else. It's ludicrous.
Carter Walker
I feel the need, the NEED for SNEED! (it's all that can save Sup Forums)
Wyatt Adams
It's bad. It's pretty easy to sift through though. Just gotta keep your head down and find the genre rec threads.
Owen Turner
Hi, excuse me, why has "LARPing" become a term to use about saying things on Sup Forums? That's not larping. Sup Forums posts aren't in real life and to LARP you have to be in real life.
