When did Sup Forums officially turn to shit? Was it around when Sup Forums did, or even earlier than that? Is it ever possible to recover?

why is this picture trying to make it look like all of these statements don't make perfect sense? I smell a SJW.

Such subtle bait, wow.

Sup Forums turned to shit about the time Avatar shipping and storytimes became the most common thread.

...

>don't make perfect sense
Keep calling someone Cuck because he's not agree when someone say "we need to kill all the niggers" make perfect sense to you?
Come on man

What about these dubs?

Sup Forums takes things too damn seriously.
The company wars here is beyond cancer due to the fact that we know that nearly no one here is being ironic and that both comics and cartoons are plagued by this shit.

Too many baiters/trolls lately. Aside from that Sup Forums is quite fine in my opinion.

Any number of causes can be listed. General boom in Sup Forums traffic, which always leads to dips in quality. Big 2 fucking up over and over with events, reboots, awful characterizations, making readers with somewhat good taste lose interest in comics. Superhero movies getting tons of casuals into it. SJWs becoming a thing on tumblr, with equally cancerous anti-SJWs becoming a thing on Sup Forums, boosted by GamerGay faggotry. Avatar, as you say.

dam son

The decline started in 2008, accelerated in 2010, and hit rock bottom in 2012

Started going down hill in 2008-2009
After TDK came out the board was raided nonstop for months, after the shitstorm finally ended there was a lot more Sup Forums in our dear Sup Forums, and its just progressively gotten worse over the years

2014, thats when the board started to speed up

company wars is very recent. i think people took notice of the console war phenomenon and are going to be trying to push that rabid brand fanaticism on other industries. if its happening in cartoons it worse tha n i thought.

Seasons 7 and 8 were still passable. It was season 9 onwards where it became unwatchable.

As someone who started lurking Sup Forums since 2013, I must say Sup Forums was still love, Sup Forums was still life back then

Superior Foes storytiming with Lieber was perhaps the peak time for Sup Forums. Went completely downhill from there

So Sup Forums is getting in line politically with the rest of the site?
Why is this bad?

It's always been shit outside of storytimes and the cooldown timer and "lol you can't self bump from the same IP so you have to start threads on your phone" nonsense made that really convoluted.

>reboots and other stupid promotional events alienate base readership who like good stories
>draws in a bunch of casual with no taste
>now have to market to those casuals
>constantly pushing the Issue #1 meme

see, i told you guys years ago the 90s was cycling back around. There were a lot of comic book movies being made then, too.

Because Sup Forums used to have no politics at all.

Eh.
Sure it was better back then than now.
It was shit shit compared to pre-2008 Sup Forums
I'm sorry you never got to meet her

Because this is a comic board
And nobody cares about which crook you voted for

You can't post in your own threads? You might be banned on a cycling IP or something

>I'm sorry you never got to meet her

Meh I am glad I at least had some great moments, especially when I needed it

But comics have always been about politics.
Therefore, it stands to reason that this board should be a political battleground.

>There were a lot of comic book movies being made then, too
Only 4 superhero movies that escaped cult status though

>le Sup Forums was always Sup Forums

Nah.
The shoving of politics in every board started with GG, which I'm sure brought a lot of redditors/drama inclined peeps to the site.

"politically in line" what the fuck are you on about? bit presumptuous of you, monsieur.

Only when discussing that specific issue/page/panel

No, OPs can't bump their own threads, which makes storytiming annoying

how are storytimes a problem?

I think the worst thing was how many now filter in from Facebook. All those "zesty memes" type of things.

You can post in them but they won't bump to the front page.

Basically it means that storytiming anything niche or not a new release is a lost cause unless you can make a thread on your phone's data. Which of course means fewer people will bother to storytime and that's where we are now.

They clutter up the board because some people try really hard to be popular and just bump their empty threads over and over. It's not as bad now that tripfags are becoming less common.

kek at people always blaming reddit and facebook etc here
We are just as bad if not worse, stop buying into memes, all the shit posters didnt flock from outside, true cancer starts from within
Put an autist in front of a keyboard with full anonymity and it just happens

Why not post the .cbr in OP and dedicate the thread to discussion?

>they clutter up the board
Oh no, the board is cluttered with its own topic! Now how will we have the millionth DCEU shitposting thread!

2008-2009 the mass exodus of oldfags and the massive influx of newfags obliterated this board. 2010-2015 Sup Forums is best forgotten, 2016 saw a slight improvement and a move in the right direction, jopefully this will continue.

How do they clutter up the board with comic you fucking retard?
So what? they're pushing the 230,558,495th homestuck page off the board boo fucking hoo

You don't appreciate how different the culture here has become.

2016 was 99% shitposting about bvs

>storytimes became the most common thread.

What else do you expect in a comic book board you faget

because no one actually will

Homestuck only had 1 maybe 2 threads at a time it was a general for a reason

I'm not saying those threads are any better. This board is getting a bit cluttered, I think it's time to either split comics and cartoons, or a Sup Forums general.

>2016 saw a slight improvement and a move in the right direction, jopefully this will continue.

How was 2016 in any way better? It felt like a shittier 2015 for me.

>actual discussion is now a meme

i pity this planet

No i most certainly do, i was here pre2008.
I just know better than to think it was the "ebul redditor drama fags" that did it.
It was an influx of people who starting coming here because of the movies, and raids from Sup Forums and Sup Forums
Reddit has their own boards to shitpst on

When marvel began heavily pushing their leftist propaganda which gave Sup Forums users fertile ground to bring politics into comic discussions.

Roughly? Around Homestuck had it's own general?

Officially? When ATfags were able to have multiple generals and their own dedicated drawthreads.

Because now Sup Forums had the alt right politics

There was a massive political shift because politics became a thing common people cares about.

Beforehand nobody within Sup Forums's general age range cared. Now you have the influx of tumblrites drawn in by Homestuck, Korra and SU fighting with the native grown right wingers.

Pffff
You must be new.
Those faggots used to spam the board, for a year or two circo 2012-13 they were almost as cancerous as ponyfags

>2010-2015 Sup Forums is best forgotten

> pre company wars MCU / Sony / Fox Marvel movie threads


>Superior Foes

>Arrow
>FLash


>Other glorious storytime threads


Dude Sup Forums was far from forgettable before 2016

A story time better facilitates discussion moreso than just posting a link and saying "discuss"

...

The worst was when you actually looked into the threads.

It always devolved into porn, terrible memes and weird roleplaying.

I imagine MLP was the same.

>Because now Sup Forums had the alt right politics

And how did that make anything better? It derails threads and creates easy b8

Because mods forced them to stay in their own thread.

when it went from every thread being about comic books to 50% of threads being about cartoons

Storytiming is not just about having people read a comic. It's a communal event. The experience of everyone reacting to a page at the same time can't be matched.

What's wrong with political diversity? Isn't diversity good?

They were contained to one or two threads per time.

You faggots spread MLP like a sexual disease of which still hasn't gone away to this day, this is just karmic payback.

Its not diverse when its everyone circlejerking over how much they hate niggers and trannies and fags

How new are you?
We have had politics here from the beginning
Things turned left for a while during and after chanology when all the motherjones and dailyKOS faggots discovered 4chins

Then to 25% of comicbook movies.

>And how did that make anything better? It derails threads and creates easy b8
It was inevitable, unless you expect everyone on Sup Forums to have the same political opinions.
And "FUCK DRUMF XD" is any better?

Sup Forums has been leaking into every board, not just Sup Forums

But homestuck did stay in their own thread. Unlike /sug/ or other generals they had 1 or 2

When ponyfriends were kicked off the board. They were the "Sup Forums is love" people and when we left, the good part of Sup Forums disappeared.

In fact, you know what? Fuck you. You shits deserve to be raided by Sup Forums constantly.

>confirmed for newfag

Nobody likes Sup Forumstards

None of that at all is better you fucking moron. I want to read comics and talk about cartoons not which snake oil salesman has the power now

You can find a lot of nuance in hatred, user.

>raided by Sup Forums
I don't really agree with this mindset. You get obvious shit like OP's b8, but whenever I see Sup Forums stuff brought up it's when somebody else started politics.

Then blame comic book writers for shoving ham fisted political views into everything.

Im not i am saying thats happened recently and it sucks

>there are people on fucking Sup Forums having a problem with fucking storytiming comics


Well if any confirmation was needed that Sup Forums has gone to shit it would be this

Politics inevitably turns into shitflinging. Reasonable discussion ceases to exist when it's brought up, no matter if its Left or Right.

You didn't answer the question. How does that improve the imageboard of Comics and Cartoons? Of course more 'diverse' political opinions enrich debate, but here we don't debate shit. We watch and argue if something is shit or not and if a cartoon girl is hot or not.

No they weren't. They would try to fill up half the board with their shitty fetish webcomic.
Not until they were eventually forced to by the mods/janitors
But thanks for showing youre a newfag

>native grown

You mean Reddit and Stormfront grown

Yeah but with the Big Two and the /tumblr/ influence on most modern cartoons (Gumball, Clarence, AT, LoK, Homosuck, SU, Loud House) thanks calarts constantly injecting >hot opinions into their work, it's bound to cause political discussion.

Also, most of those generals? Ponyfags were a LOT less cancerous.

I fear for your mental health if you believe in any of this.

What tumblr influence.

/vp/ is actually the gold standard of containment boards rather than /mlp/ honestly

I was a regular in HSG at that time and aside from the occasional, brief mid-transition confusion between old threads and new threads I can't think of a time that we didn't stay confined to our single general, even during huge update drops. Maybe you'd find someone posting about Vriska in a random waifu thread but that hardly constitutes spamming, you were just inconvenienced by having to look at a post about something you don't personally like. I saw more people whining about spillover than actual spillover.

>Also, most of those generals? Ponyfags were a LOT less cancerous.

Hyperbole much

At least /mlp/ enjoys what their board is about. /vp/ is filled with genwunners who wont admit best gen is 5

>half a dozen threads about the same show. waifu dumps, or obviously off-topic (anime, video games, or politics)
>stay up for days

>something vaguely nsfw is linked or spoilered
>deleted almost immediately

I think it was the opposite. Sup Forums found its way over to Sup Forums through pony threads and yanked the quality down, then they hung around after /mlp/ split off.

>I was a regular in HSG
Opinion discarded

Tell me, what's it like being a newfag?

>/comblr/ is just a myth!

I don't play video games, so I dunno. Maybe?

Nope. In 2010, before Sup Forums shit all over everything, ponyfags stayed in their one thread.

But that's wrong. I know plenty of people who hold Sup Forums tier opinions that are native 4channers. You don't see it as much in places like /tg/ and /vg/ because comics and cartoons actively try to have a political message.

>You didn't answer the question. How does that improve the imageboard of Comics and Cartoons?
It doesn't. It doesn't really subtract from it's value, either. It's just part of how things are, and have always been.

Like 2012 (The Dark Knight Rises) but more realistically it's just been a steady decline from like 2008 (The Dark Knight, Iron Man). I think 2012 is when people started migrating from other boards and Sup Forums truly stopped being unique and started to become just like every other board.

I am asking what tumblr influence and you couldnt tell me any just spout memes at me. Thanks for proving my point

>When ponyfriends were kicked off the board. They were the "Sup Forums is love" people and when we left, the good part of Sup Forums disappeared.

>ponyfags actually believe this

>Storytimes are now a problem
Heavens forbid people actually get together to do something other than complain about superhero movies and shows.

I don't agree with the guy bitching about Gumball and Loud House, but you have to be blind not to see the tumblr influence in AT, Homestuck and especially SU.

Seriously, Bubbline can be traced back to "OH THEY'RE SO CUTE NEW HEADCANON XD" shit after What was Missing.

Assuming you are not b8ing
>Homestuck is a cartoon and somehow Gumball is 'calarts'

How are generals less cancerous that Ponyfags? Were you even here before /mlp/ was created?
Not denying they are cancer, but there's levels here.
