I think that merging /cr/, /fig/, and /mp3/, into a Misc. Hobbies/Interests-type board is something to seriously consider. Having this many super-specific boards has always seemed silly to me and hasn't really proven to be particularly effective, as far as keeping persistent, interesting discussion alive goes.

The board is supposed to be a broad theme, then threads are more specific subsets of the board. It's not just a matter of organization, either. More people are likely to see threads that they wouldn't have otherwise seen when it's all collected into one general place, and, of course, that means they're more likely to respond to the threads.

I'd also bring back the doujinsoft board (since there's nowhere to discuss doujin games, really), and merge /foe/ and even /vn/ with it like the early days, to make it like /jp/. I'd leave /vg/ as it is. It would probably remain a slower board, but it would at least be a more interesting than it is now.

What do you guys think?

'Why did people leave?' is the hot topic on /fb/, or rather it has been for like half a year by now. There were heaps of possible answers and as is usually the case there's some truth in each of those probably (aside from that one guy who keeps rambling about how /tc/ is filled with fake hikkis and NEETs who only label themselves as such because it's supposedly 'cool' - he's just retarded).

As for why people aren't interested in /tc/ imageboard culture - or should I call it 4chan culture? - is what I imagine is the biggest barrier. People got used to 'quick fix' version of internet where they open some site, bring up some topic, see some responses and get their fix. All in a very short period of time. It's quasi ADD-esque in a sense. It's not just 4chan of course, twitter is more or less the same in that aspect. That's just how internet rolls nowadays.

Those of us who are a little older are used to fora which usually move at a much slower rate (or used to move, especially when it comes to a rather niche topic and that's what anime was a decade ago) and thus our attention span isn't wrecked yet. We value quality over quantity and don't mind waiting for a qulity response instead of getting quick insipid fix.

the basic fact about imageboards is that all of the content is on any board is created by the people who use the board.
tohno-chan is a board for discussing a limited subset of weeaboo shit and the people who use the site just aren't very much interested in discussing the appropriate weeaboo shit so the site doesn't get very many posts.

Doesn't explain the drop in post rate or the drop in quality.
>> No. 4545 [Edit]

it explains everything.
the site will get faster/slower, better/worse, etc if the site's end users want it to otherwise it will stay like it is.

its not him, either the sever here is very slow or cloud flare slows the connection down a lot. either was there is a not insignificant latency issue.

What are you guys talking about? except from threads filled with Youtube embeded vids there's nothing slow about /tc/ loading (using latest Mozilla with Adblock here). And even the longest threads in history have never, ever, reached the lengths of /a/ or /jp/.

yeah, thats a good comparison because this little 1 post an hour website has a hardware and connectivity budget that it comparable with 4chan's

In honor of the fact that this is by far the worst season of anime in recorded history, could you lock /an/ until January 1, 2014?

Ok, you're pushing it way too hard right now, comparing this season to the goldmine that was 2006-2008 is a blasphemy.

It's not a good season but I've seen worse. I've seen worse this year. It's kinda average really.

You're not even trying anymore, are you?

Dakimakura do not contain humans. They're 2D images printed on fabric and placed around a body pillow- much more comparable to an anime poster than a cosplayer with an anime mask.

If it involves pictures or videos of 3D people, it doesn't belong here. It's as simple as that.

My kig has never been on anything other than a mannequin, but my dak has been covered in jizz and sweat on more than one occasion.
Which one is more 3DPD?
I cosplay as my waifu and sing her songs and reenact scenes from her life ALONE, just me and my waifu and her supporting cast. I don't attention whore in public with a bunch of fat nerds, I don't post pics of myself online or anything like that.
There is nothing wrong with kigs or cosplay, whats wrong is that the way you see people employing them and that has painted an inaccurate picture in your retarded little brain of how they're actually used.
I'd bet if you polled /mai/ you'd find out that a lot of the people there have cosplayed as their waifu ALONE, behind locked doors, etc.

Someone that is incapable of telling the difference between cosplay porn and worksafe images of a kig mask on a mannequin is calling someone else retarded? Haha, oh wow.

If you cosplay alone and don't want anyone to see, then why the hell would you even be complaining about kig porn being off limits on TC?

Whelp there you go. I decided to stop making those threads for this season becuase of this thread and what happens? You just end up with a lot of shows that have no threads and get 0 posts becuase of it. oh yeah those boring 'spam' threads were really killing /an/ weren't they? good thing we have /a/ style threads now to bring more life to the board! after all I was dying to know if anime really is more mature than American cartoons or whatever the fuck that PSG thread is about (being as it's the most active thread so far this season).

Now then, I'm gonna go back to making those types of threads you call "spam" becuase clearly few others are making threads and the shows wont get talked about -at all- other wise. If you don't like it fuck off back to 4chan, or better yet just try and stop me.

That P&S thread really is shit. Don't worry about it, people just really enjoy arguing on the internet and acting like retards for their own amusement. A lot of people on this site are apathetic or just don't bother to say anything, but more people want /an/ to be a better place than you think.

I never said I wanted a witchhunt, only that Ford Drivers should leave. If they hide there is not much we can do about except for to show them they aren't welcome here by stating normals will be banned and all the usual stuff, usually scaring them off, but if they show themselves they will get bashed and even banned

You're the one saying everyone is welcome, everyone is not welcome, if they are found out to be Ford Drivers they should leave, sure sometimes they lie and say they aren't what they are but those are lies it can't be helped. I'm not saying to hunt them done but deal with the ones that can be dealt with and not encourage others to join, i.e try to keep the site niche.

In reply to you poking fun at the bit where I said leaving like a 3 year old etc, I was referring to myself not you, even if you did say you wouldn't reply that was not what I was referring to. Read the whole post before replying.

>Rules are precisely what makes it possible for people like me to take it easy. I can relax because I know I won't find any content that would offend me

You realize what offends one person doesn't offend the next person but this might offend that person but not this one etc? That's why a site having a small userbase and being niche works, because everyone agrees 3D is shit, everyone relaxes, neeto. 4chan doesn't work because fucking everyone joins and too many people equals too many different levels of opinions and things people want.

> I can find and quote Tohno saying he doesn't mind quality content

Who said I don't want quality content, I just don't think that is the main focus of this site, it is called hiki otaku organisation not top quality image-board organisation.

I genuinely fail to see the difference.

>You're the one saying everyone is welcome, everyone is not welcome,

I'm saying quality content is welcome. Who brings it is a non-issue. Doesn't change th fact that stating you're a Ford Driver is against the rules and a bannable offence.

>So what are you going on about?

My heartfelt wishes, even if they are but a dream. /tc/ is still better than 4chan either way so there's always that to consider.

Support. It's not like TC is fast enough (no, I'm not bitching about this) to warrant a bunch of repeated "generals" of a certain game or series anyway.
