Well, as you can see the board is as good as dead. I wanted the board to be a possible alternative to /a/ where anons could just talk about anime without getting banned for having fun which the "meidos" of /a/ often deem to be shitposting. What annoyed me the most about /a/ is the userbase's obsession with their mods and their moderation, they are more interested in it than they are in anime, they are the NeoGaf of 8ch boards.
But it's kind of hard to keep a board on this site active without shilling it on other places and I don't want to do that since that would just piss people off.

Not necessarily, it's too young and so far no different from any new board that might be made on the subject. A dead board is board that was to some extent active for a few years and then everyone just slowly left. It can never be revived. But we can still do something about this one.
I would recommend removing "weeb" from the title as well as any other cuckchan-esque slang. Nothing can be done about "animu" already buy oh well. Letting people know why it's different from /a/ would also be a plus, like a description of the board "it's like /a/ only not retarded" or something.

>Nothing can be done about "animu" already buy oh well
This board was not created by me, when I was interested in creating an anime board I found out that most obvious names were already taken so I thought I'd just claim whatever board has a name that reads the most like "anime" and this one was the only one I found. I don't mind it that much except for the fact that a cancerous tripfag board in the top boards list is called "animus" so that might cause confusion.

Does Watamote have yuri in it? I never read the manga because I didn't like the anime enough and I do know that she gets female friends later on but I was not aware that it forces gay shit in its story as well. I notice yuri has lately been appearing much more frequently in shows that don't have yuri or romance in general as its main genre/focus.
Watamote is kind of like the Welcome to the NHK for normalfags, I've seen some people talk about it both online and real life as if it's a 100% accurate depiction of their life or earlier part of their life when they're really these extremely social people with lots of friends who have no trouble socially interacting and may be a little shy at best.

Well, that's a shame but I think "weeb culture" is a term that would easily explain to a newcomer of the board that this place is not just for the discussion of anime but other Japanese media as well like manga and VNs.
"Anime & Japanese Media" just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

It's a similar problem I've noticed in regards to /v/ and alternative video gaming boards here. On the chance one does become popular (which is rare), it's actively shilled shitposted against, and even if the board can survive that, decay cycle sets in (people leaving the board to go back to the more popular one for more people to discuss things with prompts more people to leave and do the same).There is also an issue that the general size of userbase on the site leads to a question of if boards even need derivatives here (such as how even other "legacy boards", whose namesakes had originally branched off of /v/ back on halfchan, such as /vg/ and /vr/ here are pretty much dead in favor of everyone just using /v/ even with that board's problems), and that only a handful of boards are really active in the first place. The sheer amount of boards here prevents all of them being visible to the public at once, reducing awareness further too. And you're right in regards to how shilling is viewed, especially in cases where your board can be considered to be directly competing with another. This site has been an experiment and I've definitely enjoyed the years I've spent here, but there's certainly flaws with the "make your own board" system that I'm not sure there's a proper answer to.
The moderation on /a/ definitely has an issue. Saw someone make an "obscure anime" thread the other day, which was pruned after around twenty posts for reasons of apparently just being a "poorly veiled stealth /rec/ thread". For shows (or manga, and LNs) that don't really warrant discussion at this point, be it age of the show, and/or few people having watched or being interested in it, those are the sort of threads where such discussion can work better than trying to make their own threads (which will likely just sink down and rot in the catalog with few posts) due to the broader scope, but if those are just seen as a place for people to get ideas on what to watch or read, then the moderation doesn't seem keen to allow them. While perhaps not the best comparison, It would be like if /v/ banned discussion of system libraries (which make a good place to talk about games that don't really deserve their own threads at this point) because someone's going to use them for ideas on what to play in the future. When the bulk of what you watch or read (or play) tends to fall into that space where the question of whether a thread specific to it will get any attention, apparent inability to have more broad threads for discussion of such just makes me not want to bring what I've been watching up on /a/. Even "What anime/manga/LNs have you recently watched/read?" sort of threads seem to get quickly culled there; tried posting in them a number of times only for them to be pruned soon after, or pruned before I could post. Ultimately I just wind up never speaking much on /a/ about what I watch, except for maybe in the occasional OP/ED threads where I can drop mp4s or webms in and perhaps get a response.
>>1277
>I felt like weeb has become an accepted term on here for any Japanese fictional media but I'll consider changing that.
Just because the term has been warped over the years doesn't mean you need to provide it with further acceptance. Annoying enough to see some various boards come to regard anything Japanese (excluding perhaps super mainstream Japanese-made games, like Metal Gear, Pokemon, or Final Fantasy) as being "weeb" or "weebshit" over the years without Japanese-works focused boards adopting it as a catch-all and furthering the "modern" usage as well.
>>1283
I take it that changing the board name at this point isn't likely to work, but something like "/jm/ - Japanese Media" seems like the better idea at acknowledging the focus but without resorting to using and furthering the use of "weeb". Same thing for /wv/, wherein the idea was to provide a place for discussion of Japanese games without said games getting slammed as "weebshit" like /v/ was doing to them; in calling itself "weeb vidya" it just further accepts change of the term.

Yeah, that's a great example of what I mean when I say /a/ doesn't allow fun discussions. Even if that was a thinly veiled recommendation thread (though it most often isn't and is pretty much a boogeyman used by both the mods and the users of /a/) it does not matter at all if it generates interesting discussion on the same level of quality as other threads. Rules should only be enforced for the prevention of shitposting, thread derailing and spamming, if you're going to use very vague rules whose meaning could vary for different mods then that will only hurt possible discussion that can be had. It reminds me a lot of certain normalfag forums that often have this vague rule of "don't be a jerk/asshole etc." which enables mods to just ban anyone whose posts they don't like because the definition of such a thing completely depends on the mod's personality.

No.1297
>>1290
Yeah, leaving the rule so broad just leaves it open to potential abuse. If someone out there can take something positive said about anything to be a recommendation, does that make any thread being positive on a subject a recommendation thread? What about wanting to talk about similarly themed works in a single thread, as a way to generate more discussion with less cost to catalog space? Do those fall under "Stealth /rec/" as well? I could at least buy it if /a/ had some hard rule about "Threads with low quality OPs will have their threads pruned" as a means of trying to improve effort going into discussion, but from what I've seen in there sticky there isn't one, and lurking /ameta/, it would seem it was confirmed pruned due to being a "recommendation thread".
As an aside, removing stuff like "what are you currently watching/reading threads", which as mentioned above function well to give series that don't warrant their own threads a place for possible discussion, just adds to the vibe of what is or isn't discussable on /a/.

They should not be contained on here though, I think they should just fuck off to some other website, the reason why tripfag boards exist is because its userbase consists of attentionwhores who want to talk to other people while creating an online persona with their own username and maybe an avatar as well. But if you want to communicate with others in that manner, why go to a fucking anonymous imageboard of all places? Why not just go to some online normalfag club like Reddit or Tumblr?
The reason why most people (I assume) like this site and perhaps other, smaller chans is because the absence of usernames makes communcation easier and more enjoyable, you don't need to show your respect to users with more points or experience or whatever autistic level up system plebbit has nor will you be shunned by the entire community for a single post you made in the past.

You're probably correct, that's exactly how cuckchan went to shit; edgelords came to the site because they heard on the news and on top 10 youtube videos that 4chan is a site full of dangerous hackers and other types of criminals and that all kinds of crazy shit happens there. Nowadays it's not that different from your average normalfag site because of te influx of those same people and certain boards like /mu/ and /a/ are full of unironic SJWs.
I think /girltalk/ in particular exists because women want to destroy anything that men enjoy without them by nature by indulging in it themselves and slowly taking away everything which made it appealing to men. Same thing happened to stuff like videogames and comics.
At least half of the users of /girltalk/ are probably traps though, I saw a picture of a few of their posters on /r9k/, some of them were hiding their chins for obvious reasons.

It died around the Infinity Next kerfuffle, as they decided (multiple times) to migrate to other imageboards that sprung up in response to the issues. None of them survived, and the userbase got scattered to the winds. It didn't have much of a chance, once Freddit Breddit left 8ch the position of Board Owner went to your average anon who only has enough attention span to chase after shiny things.
Far as /a/ goes, honestly it's always been complete garbage. It had a brief stint of status quo early on with Ruya, where he asked what the users wanted and got told to strive for the pitiful state 4/a/ was in. When he resigned, Claude took over with an axe to grind and got the ball rolling on the power-tripping meido act and the users were all too happy to exacerbate the whole thing with sycophantic boot-licking. I believe they're on their third Board Owner now, as I don't go there anymore, but a cursory glance shows the discussions are just as vapid while the moderation and users are still shit.

I highly recommend the font in the picture in this post, sadly I do not know the font name. You may also use Comic Sans or Tekton Pro Cond instead, but I prefer the one in the picture the most. The point is, get a curvy but non-cursive font that you wouldn't use to write formal documents.
I have completely no idea on what font to use for sound effect/SFX typesetting so I'll leave that to you.
Also watch out for the capitalisations, do it right or just write in all caps.
Everything else is good. Spend some more time learning typesetting and someone might invite you to a TL group. Proceed, anon.

I'd say that a seasoned typesetter is expected to be able to do that.

People jack off about slower boards being higher quality, but all it comes down to is having people that don't try so fucking hard to fit in. /tg/ has fantastic post quality not because it's a small board, but because there aren't any "off limit opinions" that trigger a pallisade of smug reaction images and greentext.

To be fair, /v/'s posterbase (and moderation, not going to forget that) has it's own issues. But even then I see a fair amount of complaints about how fucking bad /a/ is amongst them at times, so they're at least aware.
I think just about any alternative to a board with a legacy name runs the issue that naturally people flock towards what's familiar, which tend to be the likes of /a/ for anime, /v/ for video games, etc. Thus, it's an uphill battle to not only attract decent posters to other boards, but also staving off the decay cycle to retain those posters.
>>1864
>I only browse it because it's a fucking hostage situation.
How I tend to be as well, but even then it's usually just a cursory glance to see if there's anything of actual interest up, and most of the series I enjoy are ones that are extremely unlikely to get discussed there at this point anyhow. I rarely find a topic worth my time or effort to post in anyhow (right now it's just been the "opening animations" threads). Also similar with /v/ of late; it's a main board for me, but only because there's nowhere else for video games that's active here that I'm aware of, and I find less and less of personal interest in their catalog as the months go by.
>>1866
>>1867
I've actually seen some people there express fear about certain upcoming anime attracting /v/ to squat on the board for a given season, and whether to allow discussion of said series or not. I know there's something of a belief that 2006/7 heralded a downturn in quality back on half/a/ (with series like TTGL and Lucky Star supposedly being the prime causes), but it's kind of funny to see them acting so cautiously years later (it's one thing to want to avoid normalfags, but another to act like users of another board shouldn't be allowed to use other parts of a site). Also saw something on their meta board before about trying to get both "vidya" and "olympics" into their maidbot's autoban list, apparently since people that use such terminology are most likely to further degrade what quality /a/ has (or claims to have). Reminds me of how autistic half/vr/ could get over their sub2000 rule and allowing sixth gen in (resulting in Dreamcast discussion becoming an iffy point), because it would set a precedent that would eventually bring Halo and CoD fans in. Though, I suppose they were more in their right to do that, as the board was explicitly for older games/systems.
No.1895
>>1880
>>1883
I think the issue is that there needs to be a balance between quantity and quality. Obviously no board (let alone this site) needs to attract the numbers of, say, half/v/ (I don't even want to know what their post count is up to now), but at the same time if there's very few, albeit perhaps higher quality, posters active on a board, it makes lurkers, especially ones that have newly found a board, leery of posting anything themselves if they risk not getting a response, or perhaps even their post read. Sometimes I wonder if there's a way that Codemonkey could implement a "UIP lurk count" or something that would show just how many people actually check a board a given day, even if they're not contributing to the post count. Could help drum up more activity on its own if it shows a board still has a good bit of interest even if few people post. Of course, I suppose just making sure the site functions adequately and that updates don't make it shit itself is a task in itself (and has been for years now) before adding features people may/may not use or may break the site on their own somehow.
>>1882
Problem is that, depending on where you shill, you're going to get either people coming simply to shit a growing board up, or will countershill your board. I remember back when /svidya/ was growing as an alternative to /v/, and in being marketed as an alternative to /v/, it got spammed like crazy at times and actively made into a scapegoat for /v/'s own issues (as if /svidya/ had caused the problem they were offering a solution for). Some anons seem to get devoted to a big board's name, and do not like the possibility of losing some portion of their posterbase to another board (which implies crossboarding isn't still likely to some degree). Anyhow, I could see /v/ and some other video game related boards (implying any but /v/ are actually active) being receptive to this board as an alternative for anime/manga discussion given /a/'s reputation there, but at the same time I'd say to think a good bit on if it's worth a potentially big influx of their base.

I suppose each person who uses an option grows used to what they use, but you might want to consider GIMP or something if you have issues with what you're using currently providing. I personally prefer Photoshop myself, but like you, that's mostly due to having learned to use it already, and what it might still be able to provide over free programs. Helps that I got it with a bunch of related programs at a low price years back as a student too.
>I had a hard time finding the Kanji from the document in the manga itself so maybe you could just number the balloons and when one of thos signs show up you can write "sign." instead of a number since there are only 2 or 3 of those in every page and normally only one at a time in one box. You could also use Kanji just for the signs if that doesn't work out for some reason.
I'm not sure how you guys are going about this as far as how the script is delivered for insertion, but maybe for the future (if you're not already), have the flow of the document you're using for insertion be how the page would be naturally read anyhow, to help you find what needs replacing with what easier? IE: if a sign or sound effect that needs translation is between two lines of dialogue/description, you can get more of a feel for where to look for it to begin with, rather than, say, having the sound effects in their own separate part of the document for that page (which would leave finding where they are up to the inserter)? That's assuming I'm understanding your problem.
>>1818
Word of advice: If it were me, I'd generally be using align-centered text, with the lines adjusted to better fit the box/bubble (this also includes having the text flow with the expansion of the space around it). Also, since I'm going assuming you're winging it somewhat, note that, at least in photoshop, you can stretch a text box to fit the entire bubble/box in the background, and then alt-drag from a center handle until the text box is vertically spaced within the bubble properly (and then tweak from there. Also weigh the factor of white space so as to not cramp the eye with text butted right against the side of the bubble/box, as well as to create visual boundary between blurbs using extended text bubbles (which strike me as being harder to work with, and might require some slight rewording from the original script to work better visually; I'd say to clear any script tweaks with the translator first before finalizing).
Just my thoughts on it as an outsider to this. Pic related being a quick and dirty re-layout of a few panels in Photoshop; don't mind the font.
>>1896
It's funny that you can get people readily complaining about /v/'s moderation, and rail against being loyal to a brand, but if an alternative to /v/ shows up there's just as apt to be people that either refuse to use it because the userbase is too small, or don't want to risk the userbase being split, even if the moderation (and userbase) have a lot of problems, meaning most people don't actually go anywhere. Because people expect "/v/ - Video Games" (or "/a/ - Anime and Manga" as is more relatable to this board), that's where the bulk will go, and probably stay. Still, I don't see nearly as much liking for the janitors on /v/ (who along with Mark are usually complained about) compared to /a/'s embracing of their moderation.
>>1897
Part of the issue I had with /wv/ was how, in being named what it was, just furthered the issue of "weeb" and "weeaboo" being misused/warped from their original meaning. Something like "/jv/ - Japanese Vidya" or "/ev/ - Eastern Vidya" come have worked better if you ask me.
>Wasn't Mark supposed to be behind a lot of that kind of spam directed against any board that tried to oppose /v/? That's what I've seen some claim at least.
I honestly don't know. I seem to remember for a while he put it into the board's related link bar so he may have been cool with it, but all the same if he was the one pushing the "/svidya/ causes all /v/'s problem stuff" without his BO tripcode, doing so would have just given people easier access to that board to shit it up in retaliation for offering a less shitposty alternative. I don't think Mark's smart enough for the latter though, and the rest of the links in that bar seem to be ones anons on /v/ would be happy to use if they were actually active.

You already understood where I was going with that file, good. The problem is out-of-balloons lines appear more frequent in later chapters, and more than one can appear within one box/panel, so I'd prefer if you can distinguish the lines. I'll go with the new method then.

That's where I was going with the 'document'. In this book the flow naturally goes from right to left, then up and down, but for precaution I need to give it more signs as the panel layout may not give enough hint on how the text should flow.

Maybe in that case, move the English text for that line into the actual panel if possible? Of course, looking at the way it's written, Japan has an easier time of things than English, between ability to say more with less characters/space consumed, as well as being more apt to read as well vertically as it does horizontally.

As a bit more advice, when dealing with text on color backgrounds (especially ones with multiple things going on color/objectwise, you might opt to pop the text somewhat by adding a stroke). Though, with the colors used in this particular page, I'd say that with that one, the colors used for the text stick out enough due to light/dark contrast. You could also use a regular white stroke on black text that might have to be layered over a existing text on a black and white background so it's not lost in the image, like with writing over background sound effects and such. Of course, I suppose fan translation of manga has the issue of not having access to clean, textless raw panels that an official western publisher would have access to, so I'd wager it might still look a bit messy if done like that. Just some thoughts that you might try experimenting with; not saying it has to be or needs to be done that way.

I see that your typesetting have become even neater and better, that's great.
We still have few problems though.
- You've made a typo; at page 7, first strip last panel, the line 'You're a papa too Karen?' should be 'Your papa too Karen?'.
- I too, seem to have made several typos and inconsistencies in the second translation dump. Particularly at the part where I wrote 'geek' instead of 'otaku' to better fit several puns in a strip, which conflicts with the first dump where I wrote otaku instead. I shall re-release the second dump with corrections before February.
So I'd say that we should take it slowly, proofread it 1-2 times before releasing the works.

Lurking moar is definitely a concept that needs to come back, and can't come back soon enough. All to often though, it seems like newfags haven't heard of it, or think it to be just a meme that no one would take seriously, and thus immediate low effort posting gives instant gratification at the cost of lowering quality across the board (or even the entire site). Now, obviously a board should be able to have fun with itself, but at the same time there should be a certain amount of respect to not shit where one eats. Note that I am not defending /a/ going overboard on moderation, or the posterbase's general acceptance of such, just that there's a balance to be found and managed, on both the moderation's respect for the posters to have some fun, and the posters to not let the overall quality drop anywhere close to a "themed /b/" point (as some have called /v/). The best sort of moderation is the level where it's not noticeable; it doesn't need to be called on for more, or called out to do less.
I remember taking "lurk moar" pretty seriously back when I found halfchan in late 2006 or so, because I had some respect for the place I hoped to someday integrate into; to learn how things were done so as to not stick out as obvious newfag trash as well. I don't think I started actually posting until at least 2009 or so. Unfortunately, when there's not enough oldfags to keep newfags in check, the inmates run the asylum, and any further newfags will take that level of quality as "par for the course" and amplify it. Also doesn't help matters when most archive sites that would have gone back to the older days have either become broken in some form (such as loss of images), if not entirely gone, leaving such times to the memories of oldfags, and the occasional screencaps.

It's at that point they don't even have a thin veneer of "maybe this was in the original Japanese script", considering they're trying to drag western internet shit into fictional Japanese shows and in doing so breaking the atmosphere of a series being in it's own place/time. Makes me wonder in retrospect how close something like Space Dandy followed the original Japanese script (seems the sort of show the current brood would have liked to rip into, but I don't remember anything feeling out of place). Or has this shit mostly been affecting the shows that don't wind up actually being aired on TV here (and are instead relegated to stream/DVD-BR releases)?
>>2523
It's the sort of shit that makes you wonder why they'd pick it up anyhow, aside from intentionally ruining it as an official western release. Especially since Funimation isn't (at least as far as I'm aware) a western branch of a particular Japanese company, the way that, in terms of vidya, They can likely choose what they do and don't pick up, but do so anyhow.

This is great, but I think /animu/'s better discussion habits would lead to her being more wary of idol work. Her being a maid at times might lead to scenarios where she plays a prank on /a/ where she sneaks into her house and starts cosplaying as/pretending to be one of her actual meidos but acts more like a responsible mother towards her instead of indulging her brattery, buttflustering /a/ in the process.

1) it would offer something concrete over the current /a/ dumpsterfire

The saddest and most ironic thing is that they are.

Just a casual perusal of the catalog will show this in effect. Flavor of the season threads, or shounen, have the highest postcount by far. CGDCT, or other real nigga shit that slips under the casual radar (shows where only genuine /a/nons would post) are lucky to get 50 posts throughout the entire runtime, and often that involves samefagging.

That won't ever be the case. The rule is for sexual content of furry characters which is why it says "fetish material" and/or all art of furries that aren't anime characters and are just OC. If you're just talking about/posting an anime character that is covered in fur but there is nothing more to it that won't be an issue. That said, most shows with characters like that are shit.

Bit of an asinine distinction. If its posted in a relevant thread (such as if we ever have one about that manga), then surely there's no problems.

Depends on your definition of monster girl. I wouldn't consider every kemonomimi to be a monster girl as much as I wouldn't consider a kemono to be one. Monster girls are based off something mythological for the most part. Tsuchinoko is more of a monster girl on the basis that she's a yokai.

I cannot agree with you on this, if you're going to post a thread about Synecdoche's works/lewds just so you can post some of his furry characters the posts including furries will be deleted and you will be banned. Even if it's in the right context any lewds of them are not allowed. And I think all furries are disgusting regardless of their intents or where they post what.
Furshit is one of the few things that I can absolutely not tolerate. It's only accepted if a character HAPPENS to be a furry and you just want to talk about the actual show they're in.
Also, one of my previous posts about Kemonos being okay wasn't correct. I thought kemonos were just the type of humanoid characters with animal attributes like ears and tails such as catgirls but apparently they're also just fur-covered characters so I'll include them as furries as well.

Just to clarify for you for future reference:

If it's a low effort OP followed by 99999999999999999999999999 furry images with shit/no discussion, then the course is clear. If it's a Made in Abyss thread, for example, and people are posting Nanachi while arguing back and forth, then it's 10 billion percent /a/ rulecuckery to do anything about it.

I already said the rule was regarding lewds. If it's just regular pictures of her it's fine but if it's lewds of her or any fur-covered character then it really just needs to be posted on a board for that specific type of fetish.
The Synecdoche thing earlier was a bad example in my opinion becaus he mainly draws ecchi and hentai, if you're reading his stuff for the creepy dog character then again, you should post that kind of shit somewhere else.

I think the show KF is okay to discuss here as long as you don't go overboard with shitty fur lewds. Kemono in general that is not related to the show should be on its own board.
Guro should mostly be on its own board. I would make an exception if you want to make a point or are discussing a show like Parasyte. However if you post guro with the intent of shocking someone who doesn't want to see it then you deserve a ban imo.

I feel like the gore rule might have been unnecessary since there are so little people on this site who like that kind of shit anyway, furfags on the other hand are a real issue seeing as their main board has a relatively large userbase and they often try to force their fetish on other places as well.

Sorry. Had to correct something in my post.
>>3390
>>3391
I have been thinking about this. There should be no difference, but somehow we just know that kemomimi, /monster/ and furry are not the same.
A theory.
The difference it is how each genre approaches the concept of degradation. If it celebrates it, it is disgusting.
Furries are humans degrading back to animals, so much that their conventions have them wearing full animal costumes. It is not a balance between nature and humanity but a total rejection of humanity and embracement of even the ugly side of nature. Becoming an animal.
By contrast.
Kemono has more than just sex going for it. There is an emphasis in traits like beauty and cuteness.
Monster girls has a lot of emphasis on sex and there is a lot of fans who wish to be the subs of them. But there is a fortunate balance in it with lots of monster girls who just are humans with super powers or some peculiar traits, stories where humans are the hunter not the hunted, plots where the monster and human nature are in conflict, etc.
In relation to other tags:
West dykes try to incorporate masculine virtues (while despising men) and lose their feminine virtues. It is destruction of the female.
In yaoi at least one guy will be a sub fag and have his ass (a dirty organ that shouldn’t be used sex) violated. It is the destruction of the male. Even if it is two manly guys, it is over when is under the other.
NTR doesn’t need explanation.
Contrast those with yuri:
In yuri shows, or works with yuri subtexts we see some of the girls incorporating masculine qualities (strength, courage, etc.) WITHOUT losing their feminine virtues. At worse, a girl will still be girly while paired with another girly girl. Fans of yuri tend to represent their sex scenes emphasizing the female gentleness.
The issue with yuri is when people gets deluded with female nature, thinking that it has no impurities. The issue with yaoi and western faggotry is the destruction of the virtues of both sexes.
To finish, hentai with degradation stories where we see it as it is: degradation. A mind broken girl, a hero that is enslaved… These provoke some sense of sorrow for what it was lost.

>Western degenerates act like that and then demand that you respect them.

It's a case of being used to the weirdness of one's own country that they can only notice the weirdness of another.

What's up on the catalogue is indicative of what type of board you're looking at, and will get more people to copy that style of posting.

I get where you're coming from. Nobody wants a board to be 4cuck/a/ or /tv/ levels of banal. But there is a balance to be found in the amount of funposting vs serious threads, and trying to make this enforcible rule is never the way. I repeat; threads are not scarce resource nor sacrosanct. Thread count and board page number is rather lengthy as well (and can even be changed), so both types of threads can coexist. If you don't want low effort posts being sole representative of the catalog, ignore these shitty threads or bomb them to death but mods usually get pissy about that and get out there and make a good thread, or post in good threads with good posts. Don't just whine or appeal to the mods like some cocklick.
Ultimately you should just chill man. You're very worried about some nebulous problem based on 4cuck precedent, without taking a step back and taking a look at the big picture. This is a board (as of this very moment) of 200 people, all of whom came practically overnight. Even if that doubled to /a/ levels, that'd be 400 people. Do you seriously think we need some codified and stratified rules to keep order, lest we instantaneously and irrevocably get run over by shitposters? Preposterous.

Again, depends on your definition of "serious". I never said that this only board should only have funposting and nothing more, I greatly support serious discussion of anime on here, I just wanted an anime board without retarded mods fucking it up for people who want either of those things because even those who desire serious discussion can easily get banned on /a/ for the smallest shit.
Some other anon posted a screenshot of a serious post he made where he just forgot one capital letter and his post got deleted for it and he got banned, that kind of shit makes it impossible for people to have any sort of discussion.

I also don't understand the "/a/ is a serious board for serious people such as myself" angle. Imageboards in general are not for serious people so stop with the self-felating bullshit.
/a/ is run by retards who built a cult around their staff and nothing more.
I just want to discuss anime without having to worry about triggering some cunt.

Yeah, I've already seen /a/utists act like this is the shitposting containment board, I never said this was an anime-themed /b/ or anything. I like funposting but I also enjoy reading huge posts about what an anon thought of a specific show and its meanings.
None of that can be found on /a/, they have never been the paradise of "serious" discussion they believe themselves to be. Constantly calling anons /v/tards or newfags because you don't like their posts isn't something I'd expect from a "serious" board in the first place.

The definiton of 'cool' and 'serious' is pretty ambiguous for me so it's a bit hard to pin down a specific one

It's very simple really, as long as that person is not some lefty nutjob of any kind or a sleeper agent and sympathizer the board is in safe hands

>why the fuck are people >doing this in platforms that don't support it? Granted its just seems like cuckchanners doing it.
Tried writing this shit like three times already and cleared the reply box every time because it didn't feel good enough as it was for my tired 5AM mind. Rules 1 and 2, in effect, stated to "keep /b/ on /b/", rather than bring /b/ into other parts of cuckchan, the internet at large, or heaven forbid, the real world. This idea could just as easily be logically extended into "keep imageboard culture itself within imageboards". The people that are doing their greentext ">implying" writing on other sites and discussion formats clearly do not respect that notion, assuming they even know of it and don't take other valid statements like "lurk moar" to just be a meme and a joke. Not only is it essentially a calling card that /b/, or /v/, or whatever the board best suited to reading/watching the topic at hand is has dropped by, if used in a simultaneously inflammatory situation, is a sign that can lead people you hate right back to where you've opted to call home (luckily cuckchan tends to take most of the brunt of imageboard related attention). Also, as >>3901 states, they've probably adopted such a posting style, with their arrows and statements of broken grammar, as a default, and export it wherever else they go. Greentext unfortunately has become a standard of imageboards, both for shitposting and actual storytelling, to the point using actual paragraphs in a non-professional setting might feel alien at a given point (somehow a double post full's worth of greentext is less "tl;dr" than the same in an actual paragraph format; could also be a factor of monitor width/resolution, and thus window and line lengths, compared to the earlier eras as well). I would imagine that any anon that actually went through the process of lurking, and coming to an understanding of how an imageboard works and how to be a good poster, would see why they shouldn't greentext outside of an imageboard. But when what was once a trickle of newfags becomes a flood due to whatever incident has occurred (media coverage, hilarious as it may be, is a massive detriment), the oldfags that could have once honed them (from immature newfag to an eventual oldfag in their own right) get overwhelmed, things aren't passed on as they should be, and the inmates run the asylum. Granted, savvy administration could ban quality poor posters and help stymie things, but that implies they care about userbase quality and not more screens to get ad revenue from.
As such, I would guess that cuckchan's huge userbase (I don't even want to know how ridiculous it is at this point) is heavily comprised of outsiders these days that would have had no business being there in the days of old, led by incidents like Hackers on Steroids, Chanology, and the Fappening, don't know proper etiquette (be it in-site or out), because the prior generations after the influx started getting really bad were too overwhelmed to effectively mold them or shoo them off, and thus you get newfags seeing other newfag "oldfags" and mimicing what they do, thinking it's what's proper. And really, I think that's probably the most effective way to destroy an imageboard: Kill it outright, or change the administration to be shit, and the userbase will coalesce on another imageboard; dilute the original, proper userbase until they're posting amongst hordes of normalfags, and it'll kill it slowly, and drive the original userbase more towards apathy than establishing another colony more suited to their needs. I myself have come to wonder if the era I loved and long for in imageboards has ended, and been over for a while at that. Looking through one's screencap folder is like opening a time capsule to a more pure, carefree, and fun time. Anyhow, I suppose this is getting into a no-sleep-yet wall of text-tier ramble: Point to take is that either those idiots don't know about respecting their imageboard of choice enough to not bring back potential roaches back home in treating the other sites they frequent as an extension of cuckchan (or 8chan as well; the share threads on /v/ used to have a problem with their torrents and mega links getting nuked because retards kept dumping them into more patrolled normalfag sites), or they know better but do so anyhow as a means to anger people on both sides of the equation.

Body was too long to continue my own thoughts. Wall of text indeed.
Careted text is actually an older convention from prior eras of email systems and BBS for use in place of a quotation function (see pic; the Meow Wars itself is also interesting to read on if you want an early example of mass flaming/shitposting/raiding), which modern versions have mostly done away with in favor of automatically styling quotes with inbuilt indents or boxes surrounding the quoted text. It's nothing original to an image board, hence the old "who are you quoting" thing for using >Greentext to shitpost or tell entire stories. In effect though, it's use on imageboards has been warped from just quoting (linking to another post can be taken as referencing the content in it already, especially with the ability to pull the text of said post into view just by hovering your cursor on it; though you can still greentext parts as specific quotes) to its other, more frequent uses, which have become something of imageboard culture at this point.

Why are you even comparing our board to cuckchan's /a/? Are you really, but really, justifying a 750 bump limit on a board with 100-300 posts daily versus one with 50000?
>It's a more efficient and distinguishable way to reply/make a story/refuting a shitpost/shillpost, also what you said, and yes because it IS cool to do it.
Good lord. You should be lucky this ain't one of the /a/ mods. Greentext just helps degrading board quality with its low effort posts. There's a margin between pure, unfunny shitposting and funposting.

Maybe 750 is too high for "normal" threads but for this thread it was the right amount in my opinion, since this seemed to have been the most active thread ever since the board became active, it would have been annoying if a new one had to be kept made.

This is a thread about complaining of /a/. It's not a thread that should be remade, as it's not the board focus. The focus is discussing Japanese media. The maximum we should have is a meta thread as this is a rising board, so to speak. But again, I'm not the BO, so this is just my opinion, I guess.
No.3954
It's funny how everyone complains about newfags when everyone is a newfag. How many people do you think are on any of the anime boards right now that have been there since their inception?
Newfags are not an inherent problem.
Newfags that aren't willing to lurk before posting are a problem.
You always need new users to sustain any site. The question is how to turn those new users into a benefit without alienating the old users.
No.3955

Well this is supposed to be a meta thread and many meta decisions have been discussed here already.
Venting about /a/ is refreshing because up until some time ago i thought i was the only one who hated that place.
I don't like the current thread title as it is misleading imo. If we made another clearly named meta thread this might aleviate the problem about the bitching somewhat. Considering we are still a young board a meta thread seems like a good idea so the users can help shape the future of the board.

>Newfags that aren't willing to lurk before posting are a problem.
Also correct, the issue with cuckchan (which is what we were discussing in previous posts) is that the large majority of the site's population now consists of newfags, meaning that even if they lurk they will only see users act retarded and thus believe that that is the status quo of the site.

Basically drunk shitposting that was way too funny to me at the time. The thread somehow turned into a joke about every character being some sort of bitch. I am pretty sure I started it because I was too drunk to actually remember character names and the rest of the thread sort of went with it. Then I posted my waifu knowing full well that she would get called a bitch so I could justify annoying the mods and shitting up the report queue for a few hours. It's dumb as fuck but at the time I was giggling like a retard.

It is probably the most autistic thing since ponies but oniposting is just a really dumb joke that has gone way to far. Some faggot made a thread on /pol/ four years ago about Touhou and Jews and people are still carrying the joke on. It's pretty dumb most of the time but when some absolute newfag doesn't see the argument he is walking into it can be hours of fun. I have seen realtively intelligent people lose all grasp on reality and devolve into pure emotional reaction with a couple of well placed Suika shitposts.
