I think it's pretty neat too OP. Helps keep these places feeling connected.

How the hell is our anime board anti-anime?

>>7041
Somebody said the same thing in that bingo thread around the same time.
>I haven't been to /an/ since I saw some 4chan-tier retard posts about how anime sucks
Something pissed them off.

>>7042
Wow, How fickle can a person get?

The rest of the interesting posts from that /jp/ thread.

In the past... Of 2006... There was loli boards. They are all gone now.

sad

>>7048
That makes me pretty sad

>>7056
"Little Angels Hentai" is the last man standing from that time from what I found. It's not an imageboard though. Maybe I'll ask them for more info.

>>7048
I miss this system of websites linking to each other with banners.

/bun/ on tc. Every post about tohno-chan being dead is funny in retrospect. /bun/ has been getting a little bit more activity recently though. Their dislike for tohno-chan looks like it grew with time.

>>7059
Well they're certainly not wrong about me being an autistic retard.

I don't understand their complaints.

>>7065
You can not please everyone, especially people like these. More than likely these people browsed the site for a few hours until they saw some random thing or post or board they didn't like, and condemned the site for it on the spot.

It's like if I was to say /bun/ is cancer because five years ago I saw someone there say they like guro. As such /bun/, it's staff, it's userbase, and it's design are all fucking garbage and I'll never go back again.

Selected excerpts from this extensive list.

I love kiwifarms. It's people posting the same things over and over about "lolcows" for hundreds of pages and upvoting each other. Any post that agrees with group consensus gets 20+ up votes. They'll do this on a thread for years. I don't know how they do it.

I don't really understand why Tohno is worse with too many boards. Maybe some are a little useless or could be merged but it's not like, say, 4chan where each board is its own separate community or anything.

>>7070
It's a difference in priorities. Most people actually used imageboards for "socializing" I think. The format sucks for that though no matter what you do, but interaction feels more "flowing" when there's a lot of posts in one place. More, a bit slower boards is better for post quality though. Either you've got a mediocre "social platform", or a decent place for discussion. People who want the former usually move on to discord, twatter or whatever else.

I don't use imageboards other than tohno anymore. Sometimes I do get curious about what's going on in the outside world but I never actually try looking, mostly because I don't know where to look.
This time I tried some URL I saw in one of the screencaps, went sightseeing on that site and from there to a couple of other related places.
It was a sad and lonely experience for me. I didn't even have to participate and get into arguments to feel how hated I'd be if I posted there.
It was also an uncomfortable reminder that I probably stay here only because tohno is so slow it shelters me from being exposed to many opinions of others, especially the ford drivers. Contemplating these different opinions tends to bring me emotional pain when I consider them in the context of my own life, personality, experiences and relation to the world.
It was a sleepless night full of uneasiness, angst and constant asking of the question: is there really no place for me in this world? What a horrible feeling.

>>7072
I've done the same and it's never been a very pleasant experience. From what I've heard, sushi for example is supposed to be a nice and friendly place, but after hanging out there for a while I found they can actually be really vicious and nasty people hiding behind smiles.

>>7073
The problem is that they form cliques and dislike people that disagree with them. It happens on many small boards, the only reason it doesn't here so much is because we still seem to have a variety of people with different views and because we don't all have names or flags.

>>7073
I've noticed that as well with places that claim to be friendly specifically, when talking to people personally.

>>7066
It's really funny to me. I came to imageboards in the late 2000s with the expectation that I was probably going to see a lot of stuff that normal people don't like. I never liked all of it, but none of it was ever enough to make me upset because I was already prepared to see and hear about things not to my tastes. That was the beauty of imageboards, to me. A place where you could post about things that were not accepted elsewhere among people who were not normal and who would not only not expect you to be normal, but often times share your tastes in the unusual. The idea of actually going into a thread of things I find unpleasant and complaining about people posting it is just baffling to me.

Laugh riot.

I wasn't around when this happened, but I went there a month of two before and I remember everything was kind of messed up and unpleasant. Most of the old threads were deleted and the delete limit was only one page for some reason. On top of that, the moderation was way stricter than before, or just different. Something about trannies. It was bad. Wasn't great to begin with though.

That person is more pathetic than I. Impressive.

I have a really hard time taking people like this seriously. Not only have they had relationships and one night stands, but they mention it casually while calling other people normalfags. Like a starved dog saying how long it's been since they've eaten. I don't even understand what is normal, but I think I know it when I see it.

>>7089
What is this shit and why is it posted here?

>>7090
Because it fits the thread. Ridiculous things people have said online. Just laugh at it. Marvel at how stupid and hard-headed people can be.

>>7091
Yes, stupid people exist but why would I (or others) want to see people talking about their personal experiences? It doesn't belong here. Anyways this thread is about imageboard screenshots.

>>7088
Not an imageboard. Deleting.

>>7089
The contents of this screenshot really shouldn't be discussed here. Read the rules. Deleting.

>>7098
>I remember in ONE there is a scene with an actual retard
Picked up.

>>7098
>Are girls with flat chests cripples too?
Interestingly enough, they're usually the cutest and best too.

There used to be a shota imageboard around 2012. Then it turned into a forum. Now it's dead.

>>7104
What makes somebody reconsider his interests to such an extent? I can't imagine walking away from loli.

>>7106
Maybe legal risk, if they live in a bad country?

These people are so negative and they take themselves too seriously. And why do they cater to fanfiction writers? /mggg/ is bad because you can't post porn, but at least the atmosphere isn't so suffocating.
what the hell is a "monsterboy"?

More nanochan posts. These ones talk about other imageboards.

GYAAAAHHH

>>7115
The board literally called loli is still up. For 90 days at least.

>>7110
This isn't funny, this is frightening.
Can't imagine that photographing a facade of a building counts as copyright infringement.
In the eyes of law, it's like we're committing felonies everyday.

Spooky shit. From only 8 months ago too.

>>7133
The board isn't a secret, people just don't like it because it's too slow for the average person with ADD and we've got a rep for being too depressing and cynical. I just wish people would stop comparing us to wizchan.

>>7133
This scares me. I hope this place will be properly gatekept.

>>7135
People have been saying that same thing for many many years now.

>>7136
Because it's always been pertinent. I hope the same thing.

>>7135
The slowness is indeed a virtue. And I think the fact that the board topics are pretty narrowly defined helps deter off-topic discussion from taking root (moving things to /tat/ pretty aggressively helps in this too). The fact that it's survived for this long (and it's not a particularly obscure board or anything) is a good indicator of its hardiness.

That said, some day this place will succumb – either to linkrot (knock on wood) given that it probably has a relatively low bus factor, userbase-rot (as the userbase slowly dwindles, possibly from physical expiry), or the infestation of the plague of rotten users that have befallen and consumed most of the other imageboards.

>>7133
I mean, it doesn't look like it has affected anything. Female imageboard users are such a small group that fracturing them will probably turn any influence they had into nothing.
>>7138

Physical expiry would probably be the most fitting, but that is too depressing to discuss honestly.

>>7139
Part of what's scary to me is that there apparently were female users on tohno-chan, but they went on to use sites like those and talk in that kind of way. They also thought it would be fitting to recommend tohno-chan to other people on those sites.

>>7140
To be fair, it's like our neighborhood neo-nazis. They kept their shit to /tat/ or other websites.
I think they're recommending it because of that. its not like they're expecting to change things here.

>>7133
At least half of the CC and lolcow population are just males LARPing and traps. Even if any of them left their containment boards, rule 12 exists for a reason.

>>7140
What concerns me more is the growing amount of posts I've seen lately that add absolutely nothing discussion-wise and aren't even complete sentences. I'm not expecting to see PhD theses in each thread, but part of the reason why I post here is because it's clear that most posts are made with effort and sincerity. I see more and more examples of people bumping threads that haven't had replies in over 2 years just to post three words and an irrelevant image (or using their waifu as a makeshift avatar).

>>7142
>At least half of the CC and lolcow population are just males LARPing and traps.
I don't know how you would know that. It seems like the kind of stupid meme people tell themself because it's what they want to hear.
>I see more and more examples of people bumping threads that haven't had replies in over 2 years just to post three words and an irrelevant image
I haven't noticed much of that. Bumping old threads also isn't something i'd consider a bad thing since it often leads to renewed interest in them.

>>7143
There isn't anything wrong with bumping older threads. Older threads being bumped while nothing of value is being added to the discussion is part of the problem. However, it's not the main problem which is low-effort shitposting. I'm sure you can find examples of what I mean and I'd rather not turn this into a meta thread.

>>7155
He's being sarcastic, right?

>>7166
I'd call it shitposting.

>I love seeing and recording stuff people write, especially about other boards.
I wouldn't use the word 'love' for that in general, but this excerpt from the image in >>7044 has a very nice feeling. I want the same things as this anon.

>>7069
I don't follow internet drama much so I was only vaguely aware of kiwifarms until recent news that they had harassed the developer of higan snes emulator into killing himself. Then again I don't trust the media's reporting of anything considering they inflate 4chan's /pol/ into some sort of boogeyman, but it does seem like the entire shtick of the forum is harassment of individual people.

God damn. Web masters give up so easily too. Fucking spineless.

>>7242
After recommending them a new domain service, the crisis has been averted.

You know, at some point, you think something can't disappoint you more than it already has. Like you've already reached the bottom of the barrel and things couldn't possibly get worse. And then somehow, in some way, you get surprised. It's really amazing.

>>7252
lol. I didn't use any slurs, just told him off. He even deleted his own response.

>>7253
What a faggot.
