The future of /a/

  1. The future of /a/
  2.  
  3. [10:49:27] <Kusanagi> DO NOT LET NARUTO THREADS TALKING ABOUT TUMBLR ONTO /a/
  4. [10:49:32] <Kusanagi> THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM
  5. [10:49:47] <Kusanagi> THEY THINK THEY ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO CIRCLE JERK ABOUT TUMBLER AND THE MOVIE FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
  6. [10:49:51] <Troid> that's a shame since you're one of the on-topic posters
  7. [10:49:54] <Troid> jesus
  8. [10:49:58] <Kusanagi> PLEASE HELP ME WITH /a/ BY NOT ALLOWING THESE FUCKERS
  9. [10:51:21] <Kobayashi> Kusanagi, If you give me janitor powers for /a/
  10. [10:51:25] <Kobayashi> I'll gladly help you.
  11. [10:52:21] <Kobayashi> I'm the one who posted the 4K screenshots, Troid https://i.4cdn.org/vg/1418252999009.jpg

  13. [10:59:58] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v cetpargust
  14. [11:01:23] <RapeApe> i haven't bought a desktop computer in 4-5 years. what are some decent review sites for parts?
  15. [11:01:37] <BearKnife> just buy an Ayylmaoware
  16. [11:01:42] <BearKnife> THEN YOU GET BITCHIN' LEDS
  17. [11:01:47] <RapeApe> i don't think any of the sites i used to read are useful any more.
  18. [11:02:08] <kami`> why are you shouting Kusanagi
  19. [11:02:36] *** Quits: MBSL300 (~MBSL300@too.much.oversteer) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
  20. [11:02:41] <Kusanagi> I don't know, because I get the feeling regardless of what I say I'm going to come back to almost exactly that thread
  21. [11:02:54] *** Joins: MBSL300 (~MBSL300@too.much.oversteer)
  22. [11:02:54] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v MBSL300
  23. [11:02:55] <Kusanagi> frustrated I guess
  24. [11:03:05] <kami`> thats just the way it is
  25. [11:03:18] <kami`> ill tell you the same thing I told aoc
  26. [11:03:26] <kami`> before he couldn't take it anymore
  27. [11:03:31] <kami`> you gotta relax
  28. [11:06:41] <Kusanagi> normally I'm pretty calm and collected kami`, it's just frustrating that these people have no regard for quality and that the SnK thread is part of the problem
  29. [11:06:47] <Kusanagi> I was talking with AZ4 the other day
  30. [11:07:43] <Kusanagi> And through our banter we talked about limiting the SnK thread to the chapter release thing like we did with naruto because the tumblr and shipping shit that has taken over the threads otherwise has ruined any chance of real discussion
  31. [11:08:22] <AZ4> I;ve actually been browsing the snk threads recently
  32. [11:08:36] <AZ4> they've improved noticably since summer
  33. [11:08:54] <AZ4> There's alot of ironic shitposting and circlejerking, but more or less for lack of anything to discuss
  34. [11:08:56] <Kusanagi> I saw one last night that had this in the OP >Shipping not welcome
  35. [11:09:01] <AZ4> I think limiting them would do a lot of good
  36. [11:09:13] <Kobayashi> Rapeape Tom's Hardware
  37. [11:09:21] <Kobayashi> and A youtube channel "Linus Tech Tips"
  38. [11:09:36] <AZ4> because there's obviously the will among the users to have a good thread, it;s just not going to be possible under their currrent format
  39. [11:09:43] <Kusanagi> It might be losing steam a little AZ4
  40. [11:09:55] <Kusanagi> As in people who were crazy interested are now dropping off a little
  41. [11:09:55] <AZ4> I think that;s a big part of it
  42. [11:10:28] <Kusanagi> I think if you asked the SnK fans what they thought
  43. [11:10:31] <Kobayashi> Rapeape: http://www.tomshardware.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/LinusTechTips And of course http://www.newegg.com/ for all your shopping needs.
  44. [11:10:33] <Kusanagi> They'd tell you to limit the threads
  45. [11:10:35] *** Quits: trout-senpai (~anon@slippity.slappity.bloop) (Quit: Lost terminal)
  46. [11:10:35] <Kobayashi> #shill
  47. [11:11:05] <Kusanagi> And by SnK fans I mean the fans of the series before the anime came out and anyone who has read the manga
  48. [11:11:33] <AZ4> Times like this I almost wish we had a town-hall format where we could bring something like that to the table without hijacking a thread or creating a shitstorm
  49. [11:11:38] <AZ4> but fuck /q/
  50. [11:11:57] <Kusanagi> We chould do a meta thread
  51. [11:12:06] <Kusanagi> But we're not ready for that yet
  52. [11:12:11] <AZ4> definitely not
  53. [11:12:14] *** Joins: trout-senpai (~anon@slippity.slappity.bloop)
  54. [11:12:14] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v trout-senpai
  55. [11:12:19] <Kusanagi> And other options are still on the table a little
  56. [11:12:30] <Kusanagi> possibly a new board, I doubt we'll get that though
  57. [11:12:40] <Kusanagi> Cause it would cost us /jp/
  58. [11:12:41] <AZ4> I would hate to see an /ag/
  59. [11:12:51] <Kobayashi>  /fur/ when
  60. [11:12:52] <AZ4> there is nothing more I would hate than that
  61. [11:12:53] <Kusanagi> That will never happen
  62. [11:13:00] <Kusanagi> that would be horrible
  63. [11:13:02] <TheBurnWard> ehhhh whats that about /jp/
  64. [11:13:10] <Kusanagi> 2D/random
  65. [11:13:22] <Kusanagi> but moot said we'd /jp/
  66. [11:13:29] <trout-senpai> as a jp janny i wouldn't be opposed to renaming it 2d/ranodm
  67. [11:13:31] <Kusanagi> So like all of us have said we want to keep /jp/
  68. [11:13:36] <TheBurnWard> Please no
  69. [11:13:39] <trout-senpai> but i also just woke up so don't take me too seriously now
  70. [11:13:47] <TheBurnWard> that'd just invite the avatarfags back
  71. [11:14:04] <Kusanagi> You'd get /a/ content too though
  72. [11:14:06] <TheBurnWard> spent so much time getting rid of asukaspammer
  73. [11:14:08] <RapeApe> i knew about tomshardware, but it doesn't seem as helpful as it once was.
  74. [11:14:09] <Kusanagi> A lot of /a/ content
  75. [11:14:15] <Kusanagi> It would slow /a/ to a nice pace I think
  76. [11:14:35] <AZ4> see the thing is, though
  77. [11:14:47] <AZ4> qwe already have so damn many anime sub-boards that practically nobody uses
  78. [11:14:56] <Kusanagi> exactly
  79. [11:15:02] <Kusanagi> we have these great boards
  80. [11:15:04] <AZ4> the only thing a new one would accomplish is a short-term circus where users flood in to shitpost and mark their territory
  81. [11:15:09] <Kusanagi> and we should be getting people to use them
  82. [11:15:18] <AZ4> I don't want an anime /s4s/
  83. [11:15:25] <TheBurnWard> at least 2d/random would get rid of these babymetal and idol threads
  84. [11:15:36] <TheBurnWard> but eh
  85. [11:15:40] <trout-senpai> yeah move that shit to /mu/!
  86. [11:15:50] <trout-senpai> also people would post fewer of those confused "i'm travelling to japan" threads
  87. [11:15:58] <AZ4> and I agree, kus. Pushing people towards /c/ /c/ and /cm/ is the ideal approach
  88. [11:16:04] <AZ4> */e/
  89. [11:16:11] <TheBurnWard> "hey guys i'm travelling but i'm not gonna post on the travelling board, any tips?"
  90. [11:16:15] <Kusanagi> I really like the /c/ idea
  91. [11:16:20] <Kusanagi> Because /c/ is /a/
  92. [11:16:27] <Kusanagi> You can see it clearly
  93. [11:16:47] <TheBurnWard> having /c/ /e/ and /h/ is really oddly spread out.
  94. [11:16:49] <AZ4> the culture is already soo similar it'd be easy to transition
  95. [11:16:50] <TheBurnWard> And on top of that /w/
  96. [11:16:52] <Kusanagi> I think a lot of people might just be afraid to branch out
  97. [11:16:57] <Kusanagi> well I know they are
  98. [11:17:04] <Kusanagi> But I mean new people more than old people
  99. [11:17:06] <AZ4> a lot of traffic goes to /a/ just because /a/ has a lot of traffic
  100. [11:17:16] <AZ4> nobody wants their thread to sit inactive for a week
  101. [11:17:25] <AZ4> which is the stigma associated with /c/'s low activity
  102. [11:17:26] <TheBurnWard> If more people used the catalog it wouldn't be so bad.
  103. [11:17:50] <Kusanagi> yea but we want people to make /c/ related threads on /c/
  104. [11:17:57] <AZ4> I think once we get that modpost out it'll solve a lot of problems just by encouraging people to take a look at /c/ and give it a try
  105. [11:18:03] <Kusanagi> if they did that there would be more traffic
  106. [11:18:04] <Kusanagi> and
  107. [11:18:14] <Kusanagi> there's already an interest established
  108. [11:18:20] <AZ4> exactly
  109. [11:18:30] <AZ4> I just don't want to fight /a/ over what's /a/ related or not
  110. [11:18:35] <Kusanagi> well
  111. [11:19:26] <Kusanagi> The way I feel
  112. [11:19:40] <trout-senpai> #feel
  113. [11:19:50] <kami`> and just what percentage of the traffic will see the modpost?
  114. [11:20:20] <Kusanagi> If we sticky it for a few days everyone will
  115. [11:20:32] <AZ4> I'd assume the modpost would be posted on both /a/ and /c/ to inform both boards of the kind of changes we're pushing
  116. [11:20:36] <AZ4> so hopefully all of it
  117. [11:21:01] <trout-senpai> what is this modpost we're talking about
  118. [11:21:18] <Kusanagi> and after the thread is over cause it would be large mod post that talked about a lot, users could send feedback as well
  119. [11:21:37] <Kusanagi> The users will want to have their say right off the bat
  120. [11:21:42] <Kusanagi> Also moot should be here for it
  121. [11:22:00] <kami`> thats asking for a lot
  122. [11:22:10] <Kusanagi> well kdel has already emailed moot a lot of this
  123. [11:22:30] <Kusanagi> and they've talked back and forth
