What belongs on /jp/ and what belongs on /a/

What belongs on /jp/ and what belongs on /a/

 

(07:44:31) +AoC: ping me if needed, I'm taking a nap

(07:44:44) %kami`: pi

(07:44:49) %kami`: ping

(07:49:45) +andonuts: (06:37:02) +Sange: /jp/ should just be merged back into /a/ and Touhou given a board

(07:49:51) +andonuts: NOPE.

(07:50:00) %kdel: lolno

(07:50:04) +andonuts: Pls no bully.

(07:50:06) %kdel: who the fuck suggested that

(07:50:17) @ALTERNATIVE: I found an email from 9/10/2010 from zephro about having manly tears rangedbanned

(07:51:35) +andonuts: Someone should just bolt his router 6 feet high and disable software configuration on it.

(07:51:38) +andonuts: It's foolproof.

(07:51:43) +duanemoody: give touhou a board

(07:51:47) +duanemoody: what nonsense

(07:51:54) +duanemoody: [spoiler]ponies[/spoiler]

(07:51:56) %kami`: god forbid if /jp/ were to be dissolved

(07:52:04) %kami`: it would mean the end of /a/

(07:52:05) +andonuts: I would literally kill myself.

(07:52:12) +duanemoody: can i have your stuff

(07:52:17) %kdel: eh, i don't think it'll be that bad

(07:52:20) +andonuts: I'm taking it with me.

(07:52:29) +duanemoody: merge touhou and MLP

(07:52:36) %kdel: the people who really don't watch anime

(07:52:37) %kami`: kdel imagine all the shitposters on jp

(07:52:38) +duanemoody: it's not like they're different things

(07:52:39) +Thesmothete: I'd actually wanna see that

(07:52:42) %kami`: now imagine them on /a/

(07:52:44) %kdel: will probaly move to bunbun

(07:52:47) %kdel: or somewhere else

(07:52:49) +Thesmothete: Oh my god

(07:52:55) +duanemoody: > now imagine them on /a/

(07:52:55) +Thesmothete: These things would all be hilarious

(07:53:05) +duanemoody: you sound like Old Spice guy

(07:53:05) +andonuts: They would stick around on /a/ to shitpost for awhile at the very least, just to make /a/ feel miserable.

(07:53:11) +Thesmothete: /v/ would no longer be the worst board

(07:53:12) +andonuts: Even more than they do now.

(07:53:18) +duanemoody: see, that's something

(07:53:19) %kami`: if they'd do that why haven't they done so already kdel

(07:53:23) %kdel: and the thing about spam is that it's more present on /jp/ because it's a relatively slow board

(07:53:30) %kami`: no, they'd relish the opportunity

(07:53:33) %kami`: to shit up /a/

(07:53:39) %kdel: with /a/, it'd go to page 5 right away

(07:53:50) %kami`: they'd know their shitposting is powerful enough to destroy a board

(07:53:54) %kdel: i honestly don't think it'll be any worse than accel popped up every now and then

(07:53:58) @ALTERNATIVE: see him running from the porch, like some kind of human torch, orange tendrils everywhere, acrid stench of burning hair

(07:54:00) +andonuts: It'd get a million replies if it were new-to-/a/ pasta.

(07:54:06) +andonuts: And stay on the front page.

(07:54:08) @ALTERNATIVE: flailing like a drowning bird, in the dirt he scrawls this word:

(07:54:13) @ALTERNATIVE: ohmygodimonfire

(07:54:53) %kami`: pls no more entertaining the idea of /a/ merging back with /jp/

(07:54:59) %kami`: its making my stomach upset :(

(07:55:28) %kami`: if anything

(07:55:37) %kami`: I think the buythreads should start being moved to jp

(07:56:05) +andonuts: Every post would be something stupid like, japanesebirdsavingtheindustry.jpg with some ironic OP comment like 'Why aren't you part of the fanbase that is actually moving the industry forward?'.

(07:56:06) +andonuts: http://i.imgur.com/JCvu4Q3.jpg

(07:56:15) %kdel: i don't know, wouldn't that just cause more problems on /jp/?

(07:56:30) +andonuts: The buythreads are terrible lately.

(07:56:30) +Thesmothete: /jp/ can take it

(07:56:35) +Thesmothete: It's already pretty bad

(07:56:39) +Thesmothete: How can you make it worse

(07:56:41) %kdel: what're they like these days?

(07:56:45) +duanemoody: we need moa to remake umineko with birds

(07:56:58) +Thesmothete: In fact, send them to /v/

(07:57:00) @ALTERNATIVE: does /jp/ have any redeeming values

(07:57:02) %kami`: what about moving the drawthreads

(07:57:19) %kami`: its mostly circlejerking these days

(07:57:24) %kdel: i really do think those drawthreads should be on /ic/ or some other board

(07:57:26) +andonuts: I don't remember the posts specifically, but I remember being upset that I had to read such a retarded post a few times in the last week or so.

(07:57:31) %kami`: kdel same

(07:57:40) %kdel: i don't know why we let them always have a thread up

(07:57:43) +andonuts: But then some of the only board-centric OC is gone.

(07:58:02) +andonuts: Even as shit as the threads are, they sometimes produce some good content.

(07:58:06) %kami`: but /a/ never really had that anyway

(07:58:33) %kami`: like, dedicated threads for OC

(07:58:45) +andonuts: I think spontaneous OC is better.

(07:58:46) %kami`: most of the good OC happened spontaneously

(07:58:53) +andonuts: Dedicated threads/generals are fucking cancer.

(07:59:00) %kami`: ya

(07:59:17) +andonuts: Like that coronet thread the other day?

(07:59:19) +andonuts: Pure gold.

(07:59:31) %kdel: yeah, i guess we could move it but we would need to sort of baby them for a couple weeks so things don't get outta hand

(07:59:38) +Thesmothete: 4chan is slowly becoming more gulags to keep awful people contained than actual quality boards.

(07:59:51) +Thesmothete: Still, I continue loving it.

(08:00:10) » Quit: +duanemoody (~duanemood@blah.blah.blergh) (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.)

(08:00:31) %kdel: who're the other /jp/ janitors?

(08:00:39) %kdel: are they online right now?

(08:00:44) %kami`: it is not as if we can change the userbase Thesmothete

(08:01:07) %kami`: the people get the board they deserve

(08:01:13) +Thesmothete: Honestly, at this point, I really don't hate the userbase.

(08:01:15) +andonuts: Not always true.

(08:01:17) +ZenithTheOne: kdel, present.

(08:01:22) +andonuts: Look at /x/.

(08:01:29) %kdel: AoC, you there?

(08:01:40) +andonuts: I mean, it's not the greatest concept for a board in the first place, but they really don't deserve the constant raids.

(08:01:44) +Thesmothete: On the contrary, I really love the userbase. Compared to most other websites, they're absolutely great.

(08:01:47) +Sange: I'm here

(08:01:47) %kami`: if every board had adequate moderation

(08:01:53) @ALTERNATIVE: a janitor that doesnt hate the userbase? someone give this guy moderator status

(08:01:59) +andonuts: How's fantasy world treating you, kami`?

(08:01:59) %kami`: then it would be true

(08:02:10) %kdel: to the /jp/ janitors, how do you feel about moving buyfag threads over to /jp/?

(08:02:11) +AoC: kdel I am now

(08:02:11) %kami`: wut

(08:02:24) %kdel: any strong feelings?

(08:02:26) +andonuts: 100+ janitors at any given hour.

(08:02:41) %kami`: what are you talking about

(08:02:45) +andonuts: Nevermind.

(08:02:49) +Sange: Won't /a/ get mad at that?

(08:02:55) %kami`: I'm thinking adecuate as in at least /a/ levels

(08:03:00) +ZenithTheOne: I wouldn't mind, but I fear a backlash from /a/.

(08:03:05) +andonuts: I was just making a terrible joke.

(08:03:11) %kami`: o

(08:03:21) +AoC: hang on, I'm catching up on the buffer

(08:03:23) +andonuts: There wouldn't really be that much backlash from the buyfags, honestly.

(08:03:31) %kdel: i do too, but they're sort of a minority and i don't think having them around improves the board in any way nor is it critical to the board

(08:03:38) +andonuts: They're mostly detached from a lot of the board culture.

(08:03:46) %kdel: it honestly fits better to the general otaku culture topic

(08:04:02) +ZenithTheOne: The positive thing I see from this is an influx of content and users to /jp/. The /jp/ userbase isn't what I would call a "good crowd".

(08:04:23) %kdel: yeah obviously the main problem i foresee is /jp/ telling people gb2 /a/

(08:04:47) %kdel: if you guys think you can handle that right now, we might as well go ahead with the move

(08:05:09) %kdel: if you can't, it's probably not good to stir the beehive right now

(08:05:09) +andonuts: I think a modpost on the subject, if you even come to a decision about it, would quell most gb2/a/ shit.

(08:05:19) +ZenithTheOne: As long as its stated in the rules they can keep saying "go back to /a/" as much as they like.

(08:05:21) %kami`: kdel want to handle that?

(08:05:26) +AoC: well, we have entertained the idea of returning buyfaggotry to /jp/ since it would inject us with much needed users

(08:05:27) %kdel: no not really

(08:05:30) %kami`: lol

(08:05:32) %kdel: haha

(08:05:34) +AoC: but we're currently in a state of fluc

(08:05:37) +AoC: flux

(08:05:39) %kami`: i'm uhh

(08:05:41) +Sange: I think /a/ would get pissed at needing to go to /jp/, and some parts of /jp/ pissed at being forced into that by /a/. I don't think that many would mind it, however, if all that happens in those threads is discussion and posting of 2D related products

(08:05:45) %kami`: I'm going to bed soon sooooooo

(08:05:56) %kami`: maybe tomorrow

(08:06:02) +AoC: and ZenithTheOne recent actions in /jp/ are going to make any visible activity soon very unpopular

(08:06:19) +AoC: that, plus the userbases going through such dramatic genetic drift

(08:06:28) %kami`: what about making a thread discussing it on /q/

(08:06:31) %kdel: alright in the meanwhile then

(08:06:33) %kami`: before doing it

(08:06:36) +AoC: we already have issues with the calls of crossboarders

(08:06:38) %kdel: to the /a/ janitors

(08:06:38) +andonuts: http://images.4chan.org/v/src/1360160868197.gif

(08:06:39) %kami`: test the waters

(08:07:02) %kdel: please screencap or give links to examples in buyfag threads where discussion is very shitty

(08:07:12) %kdel: otherwise, we can't really make a case to move it

(08:07:16) +ZenithTheOne: AoC I can agree not to do this at this moment at least. I would wait some time before changing anything this drastic.

(08:07:22) +Sange: I agree with the /q/ thread, but it's probably going to be a bunch of /jp/ aspies using a thousand proxies in its majority

(08:07:28) +andonuts: Is the shittiness really the main reason to move the threads?

(08:07:29) +AoC: well, the case for doing so is that it's not anime/manga

(08:07:38) +AoC: and the exact reason why /jp/ was created for

(08:07:45) +andonuts: ^

(08:07:51) %kami`: okay before I go to bed

(08:07:52) +AoC: misc. threads that don't really fit in the established boards

(08:08:02) %kami`: what do you guys think we should do about the eva generals

(08:08:07) +andonuts: A case could even be made for iM@s threads to be moved to /jp/ for that matter.

(08:08:16) +andonuts: Leave them, maybe they'll die on out their own.

(08:08:18) %kami`: I was thinking of letting them run up to thread number 500

(08:08:22) +andonuts: Threads are awful, though.

(08:08:26) +AoC: torch them like the other generals

(08:08:35) %kdel: the eva threads are mostly fine

(08:08:40) +andonuts: What number are they on right now?

(08:08:46) +AoC: what pulled /a/ from the 2009 nosedive was getting rid of the self perpetuating generals

(08:08:50) %kami`: 422 last I checked

(08:08:50) +ZenithTheOne: They honestly remind me of the KS threads on /vg/ and not in a good way.

(08:09:17) %kdel: i don't see them ever talking about their lives though

(08:09:19) +Thesmothete: I remember when the KS threads were on /v/.

(08:09:22) +Thesmothete: It wasn't enjoyable.

(08:09:30) %kami`: still pretty shitty though

(08:09:30) +andonuts: Early KS threads were fine on /v/.

(08:09:43) %kami`: I wonder if it is encouraging a bad trend in posting
