/baw/ - General Discussion

4chan is shit now anyway.

>>428502
doing pretty good, sir.

Another shooter or someone leaking government documents?

>>428505
The captcha broke.

>>428502
I hope it never comes back, I wanna be FREEEE

>>428507
It's back, you're fucked.

>>428503
>now
Left in 2017 and didn't look back. The bad thing is that some of the refugees spreading out to the smaller imageboards are taking the bad baggage with them and get pissy when they find out most boards are bored with edgelords. And it's only some, but by sheer numbers of the main imageboards it adds up to a large force on a small board.

>>428502
I'm fine

>>430867
Let me guess, does the bug also say "4chan pass users are exempt from this"?

>>430867
Apparently it happened because people using incognito mode kept spamming /vg/ with scat and evading bans that way, so they had to add a detection.

I am now curious as to how many users actually post that way.

>>430869
How can anybody use incognito mode to ban evade? aren't bans ip based?

>>430874
IPs are piss easy to change. That's why bans are locked to IP + cookie. That way even if you change IPs, 4chan can still tell its you from the cookie. If you use Incognito mode and close it, you get your cookies flushed, so if you change IPs on top of that 4chan won't be able to identify you and you can evade bans.

I haven’t posted an image on 4chan in a single month since I don’t feel not using incognito mode, also I think they did another weird thing with the captcha recently. Place is getting more elitist by the day

and right now the captchas don't even work at all. The network call returns a 500 error. The workaround is to remove the framed parameter from the network call (which will make it return the required data), manually call it, and paste it into the javascript function that parses it.
ridiculous.

>>431033
>>431034
Hey it works again!

Its odd now you sometimes need to click a button to Prove You're Not A Robot but it only happens occasionaly, also sometimes the captcha is only 4 digits long which is more relaxing to type.

>>428503
It's been shit for awhile now even before recent times

>>431183
Sometimes it is Cloudflare's fault, they are changing code for no good reason, and some browsers break more than others. At least they are fixing their own mistakes.

>>428502
I wish some 1337 h4xx0r would kill that site.
>>428539
>Left in 2017 and didn't look back
Yea, I wish I had left at that time. That site is a waste of 0's and 1's.

>>428539
Did I made this post? I have the same thoughts in regards of 4chan, but I left in 2020 in my case. I knew it was shit back then but at least you couls find some decent eurocomic or obscure cartoon if you lurked long enough, but what really made me cut ties with it was the lack of moderation.
>>431530
I'm actually surprised how little proper attacks 4chan had and how little info from their mod team has been leaked. The site's software is ancient, it doesn't even support vp9, there's no way it isn't filled with exploitables to the brim.
And yes, I'm looking forward for 4chan to finally die, internet would become worse, but at least we'll get smaller communities with better moderation and more curated content eventually.

>>431531
>Did I made this post?
"all posts are reposts" is one of the rules of the internet.

>>431533
No, it happened to me too, and I have no idea why.

>>431533
>>431535
One minute I can post again, the next I can't. What's going on over there?

>>431556
yeah, same shit happened here, I could do around 6 posts and then blocked again.

do you also automatically clean cookies when browsing?

>>431557
Isn't it more likely that some spammer is buying up IPs to ban evade?

>>431558
We are talking about IPs that belong to a commercial ISP, you can't buy them up, not unless a lot of them are infected by malware and on sale on the darknet.

I think it's more likely that they have a system in place that checks how many new user sessions were started from certain IP ranges, too many and it means the users are cleaning cookies to get around bans/identifications, which is the "abuse".

>>431559
But then wouldn't you get blocked on other boards too?

>>431560
No, the checks are done separately by board. I couldn't post images on /v/ for years now, but had no issues anywhere else.

>>431561
Interesting info, thanks. Me, I'm not automatically clearing cookies when browsing and only have one or two user sessions per day, so I don't see that I'm blocked for either of those reasons.

>>431533
>>431556
I got the same message too, and I found it equally mysterious. I don't have a habit of posting controversial/ban-worthy stuff, plus I don't think I've even posted anything in a whole week before I got that error. The error doesn't specify any particular post as the problem.
Yesterday I got that message, but today I can post again for some reason.

I heard people on /g/ talking about how posting on /biz/ now requires an e-mail address because of constant cryptocoin shilling. The board currently has a sticky talking about it. I was wondering if that could be connected to whatever's going on. Maybe some people keep scamming, shilling and switching their IPs so much that their bans are affecting lots of other anons too?

Or maybe it's a cookie problem or something, as suggested ITT. I was struggling with the captcha immediately before I got that message. Maybe the site thought that requesting multiple captchas in a short timespan seemed suspicious.

>>431585
>Yesterday I got that message, but today I can post again for some reason.
Same. It's very strange.

>Maybe some people keep scamming, shilling and switching their IPs so much that their bans are affecting lots of other anons too?
I've wondered about this too. Some trolls and spammers constantly ban-evade so they can target specific threads. Then there's the guy who ban-evades just so he can flood the /co/ catalog every day.

Yeah. First time i was posting normally, then a few minutes into it, IP blocked. Meanwhile the catalog was full of Peridot spam.
This lasted some two days, then I could post maybe six times total, and got IP blocked again.
Yesterday I could post normally, this time I turned off the cookie block. There were no problems.
I'm putting back the cookie block now, let's see if that causes it or not.

What's up with the Peridot spam on /co/?

>>431589
I don't know, but it's fucking hilarious.

>>431590
Fuck off, its part of the cancer that is modern 4chan

>>431589
Supposedly the guy behind the spam is doing it because a janitor nuked one of his threads back in 2022.

>>431594
I read about that. Apparently the guy got into 4chan's mod team and took screenshots of the inner operations servers which; funnily enough, it was a Discord circlejerk of like 20 guys playing Dota all day.
I don't what I was expecting but it wasn't that.

>>431599
He's switched to spamming /aco/.

>>431594
I don't 4prime, but I've seen this kind of vendetta obsession before on other sites so it's no surprise. Someone thinks their post was unjustly deleted and then spends months or years attacking the site.

>>431559
>not unless a lot of them are infected by malware and on sale on the darknet.
You say that as if there isn't an industry doing exactly that.

Something that I find suspicious is that the people angry against 4chan don't go beyond just flooding the place and be annoying users. The Peridot spammer did something else, he actually got into the mod team, leaked stuff and doxxed some jannitors. And even then that's light compared to deplatforming campaigns that happen on other places, heck I've even seen people getting killed on boards 1/1000 of 4chan's size.
>>431649
Same. Some mod once told me he has to be very cautious when delivering bans, otherwise he can piss off the wrong autist and get his board raided all day for yeaf.

>>431653
>Same. Some mod once told me he has to be very cautious when delivering bans, otherwise he can piss off the wrong autist and get his board raided all day for yeaf.

Man I used to do exactly that, like, 20 years ago. Forum software at the time didn't even use salted hashes, so it wasn't even hard to keep getting back to a site on a yearly basis.

>>431653
>Something that I find suspicious is that the people angry against 4chan don't go beyond just flooding the place and be annoying users
Because most of those people are just annoying period. Pray there will be no one who wants to take it on the next level. I don't know about you, but I want 4chan Prime to continue living.

This is old thread. I post anyway. 4chan is shit. 4chan has been shit. 4chan will be shit. 4chan died in 2015. Hiroshimoot has let 4chan become gay queer pedo fucktard paradise. I'm glad this place is here. This is what old 4chan (when Moot) was like. This is!

>>431738
I am sure posts with great content such as yours will make +4 a pleasant place to stay, eh?

>>431738
Chill newfag.

Looking forward to September and Fall. How are you?

>>432108
What are you talking about?

>>432109
He's probably a child molester.

>>432193
It's funny how I rarely see any chinese, indian, russian and brazilian users online. I have to deliberately look for them.

>>432193
People in Russia and China, when not completely retarded, use VPNs to access "western" Internets. Why should it be even detectable?

>>432197
I'm not sure about Russians, but IIRC PRC chinese use Taiwanese vpns to access blocked content so they could be detected as chinese regardless

>>432203
That's believable.

OK, so 4chan put on a new rule on /vg/ that you need to wait 10 minutes to post, or verify your email.
This is now also used on /v/ and /pol/.

>>432419
>verify your email
What?

I haven't been on 4chan since I got banned couple of days back from a jannie who either was or who actively defends a spammer.

>>432421
You either press the "get captcha" button and wait 15 minutes, or you register your email. You have to have cookies turned on to save your session.

so you are either forced to expose yourself via session cookies, or by registering.

>>432421
>>432424
These are the threads
https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/485224786
https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/692313952
The fact this is happening just before USA elections doesn't seem to be a coincidence.

>>432419
It now applies to all boards. What a crock of shit.

>>432428
Yeah saw that. This is completely fucking stupid and it won't stop the spambots considering you can just verify your email to get around it.

>>432429
case in point, the peridot spammer is still posting on /co/ *right now* despite the new measures.

>>432430
Didn't he say that one of his goals was to force 4chan to implement email verification? If so, he must be beside himself with smugness today, because the mods have given him what he wants and gift-wrapped it too. Now he can spam the catalog in the small hours with a guaranteed 15-min head start over any early risers who want to use the reporting system but do not want to accept 4chan cookies.

Let the rotting corpse of 4chan finally collapse.

>>432432
No carts before horses, 4chan Prime is still doing okay.

>>432432
I wonder how that site is even afloat. Hispachan payed $1000 a month and it had 0.01% of 4chan's activity, there's no way 4chan generates enough money to keep it financtially viable.

>>432442
Assuming it has a few hundred people buying premium accounts, that should cover a large part of the bill. And Hiro has many other projects, it's not impossible he is taking some loss on 4chan but keeps it afloat from the income from other stuff.

and now they messed around with the captcha again, breaking the auto solvers.

>>432443
I doubt the people who pay for premium accounts cover the bills, anons are money pinchers.

>>432445
The site makes 750k posts a day (down from 1M in 2022, lol), which has to mean tens of thousands of regular users, if a half percent of those are regular buyers of premium accounts then you are already racking in several thousand $. Plus the ad revenue.

Granted, that's not so much considering that they are using petabytes of bandwidth. I'd really love to see the finance side of this.

>>432446
It is terrible to be reminded that either you have to be rich, or you need rich friends, to pay for 4chan to exist.

Captcha seems to have upgraded, and it just werks for me on Pale Moon. FUCK YEAH!

>>432582
It wasn't upgraded, it's just that if you use it often enough, you'll get ranked as a more trustable user and get the old style captcha (for which the solver still works).

>>432614
Nice to be a more trustworthy user. Thanks, Hiroshim00t!

Imagine making fun of a racist french artist by calling him a nigger (get it?) then get banned for 3 days for "racism".

I wonder if the mod was mad at something ELSE my IP shat out, and used the forbidden nigger word as an excuse.

>>432631
Most people like to think there's a personal vendetta from some janni when they are constantly banned but more often than not it's just incompetent moderation.
>>432865
That's terrible. You can tell them to jump over here and set their secret santa thread.

>>432866
This only was happening for less than 2 days. If it keeps happening, I will.

>>432867
Please do. I really like 4/co/ but the moderation is just godawful; I'd love to see them here with better moderation and a better IB engine.

>>432868
I did mention, but the post may be ignored. Most people either plan to give up, or switch to current rules from /toy/ and /mlp/, where organizers do lots of things off-site, and you have to wrap your gift personally.

>>432865
why jannies are joyless cunts?

>>432866
>it's just incompetent moderation.
This. The quality of moderation over there has been going downhill for years, but it reached its lowest point to date in August when the mods tripped over their own feet and wiped every thread off a dozen boards.

Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but I don't remember incompetence on that scale happening when moot was running the show.

>>432880
>Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but I don't remember incompetence on that scale happening when moot was running the show.
It's not nostalgia if your memory works fine (you're not senile and your brain isn't falling apart). Usually if you remember things being better, they really were.

In other news, there is now a spin-off thread over at +/co/, so Christmas may be saved yet!

I'm trying to make a thread on /wsr/.
>"Posts successful" message shows up
>It redirects me to https://boards.4chan.org/wsr/thread/1505300 instead to my thread
>Thread isn't anywhere to be found on the catalog
It's the second time I try, does anyone else have a similar issue? and now that we are in topic, does anyone know a decent alternative for /wsr/? I mean a place where I can ask pretty much anything, I don't mind if it's a subreddit or something.

>>432904
Plus4chan is a spam filter on /co/ now?

god fucking damnit.

>>432905
1 or 2 mods who have power on /co/ are complete assholes and decided to cancel Christmas themed gift giving, because posting Amazon wishlists is now "begging". I hope they get turbo mega canceraids.

>>432904
>>432905
>Plus4chan is now on filter
God fucking damnit, that's low, even for 4chan standarts. What now? do we spam /co/ with plus4 links until everybody is here? I know the Peridot spammer can easily ban evade, so it should be doable.

>>432907
Someone will have to keep taking one for the team. I know I don't have seven proxies to hide behind.

Bigger problem is, if anons keep posting forbidden posts, mods will just start deleting threads.

>>432905
>Plus4chan is a spam filter on /co/ now?
Anons, I'm starting to feel sentimental about the Inspector Redwood era.

>>432942
>Is it due to imageboard "competition"?
Yes. Mods want to abuse posters, but posters leaving means they no longer could.

>>432942
plus4chan is /co/'s bunker in case shit hits the fan, as a result several /co/ projects linked it on their OPs, namely the tournaments and weekly creative too IIRC. When mods went bananas and started banning the tournament threads, people knew they would have to reorganize here, so the came here and Black Hand gave them a board. Something similar happended later with the sonicfags and the muder drones anons, but then the Secret Santa happened and they outright put Plus4 on the black list.
It's pretty much abuse of power as Mister Twister pointed out, they just want to mess up with anons as much as they please, but they don't want them organized setting up their bunkers with their own independent moderation.

>>432953
No. There's like only one moderator/admin (Black Hand) here and that's that.

>>432953
I haven't seen Black Hand banning people at all here. Pretty clean so far, it's not attacked by pedo spammers either.

>>432968
Perfect, a lot of them get spammers I can't blame the mods for that

>>432968
>>432969
We do get a ton of spam but I managed to build an effective way of automatically blocking most of it.

Captcha has been dead on 4chan for awhile now, posting has been stopped cold.

>>433258
How long did it take then to fix? I slept through it.

>>433259
A good few hours at least.

Got banned for mentioning a /pol/ thread on /co/ was a /pol/ thread, they only banned me AFTER they had deleted it.

What a pisstake.

>>433322
Once they banned me for shitting on Famicom and they left famicom unbanned. After that I left 4chan altogether.

I hope it shits itself for good

>>433356
Hey, hate the mods, but not the site. It gives home to lots of posters. Many actually gr8 people. You think you want 4chan Prime to die, but you don't really.

Quite a lot of AI """art""" shilling on /co/ Prime. I wonder who is paying for this.

>>433383
AI shills and Invincible spammers, not to mention the /pol/tards throwing up everywhere at random. Its garbage.

Does anyone know why staff response times on /co/ Prime are so slow now? Do they have a new behind-the-scenes system in place for processing user reports, or is it just a new/incompetent staff team?

>>433395
Probably the latter.

>>433395
It was often found that the janitors/mods themselves are the ones doing rule breaking. So the staff responds fast and deletes any reports from the queue.

>>433396
That would explain why they keep banning the same spammers over and over again instead of doing something actually effective, like blocking the spammers' image hashes.

>>433397
Wouldn't surprise me.

>>433386
Damn, that clip is painful to watch to the end.

>>433398
>blocking the spammers' image hashes.

Technically impossible for several reasons.

>>433400
Is it? I recall one drawthread spammer on /aco/ had to resort to posting increasingly fried versions of his refs because he couldn't post the originals anymore. Eventually, he gave up.

>>433401
Spammers don't give up since they get their kicks out of getting around such limitations.

>>433402
The guy I mentioned resurfaced a few years ago, but he doesn't post in the drawthreads anymore, and has been noticeably docile in the few threads he does post in. I'd call that a positive result, one worth repeating, except that today's staff are obviously not being selected for technical know-how >>432880

The AI spamming across all of 4chan prime is the worst, the constant AI generating Generals on so many boards is so blatant.

>>433405
Agreed, that crap should be banned.

>>433405
>>433406
They won't ban it because a decade of boneheaded policy decisions has cut traffic to the site in half, and letting a handful of AI spammers and bots flood every board with slop creates the illusion that there's more user activity on 4chan than is actually the case.

Best case scenario is that anons will get fed up and pressure staff into creating a containment board, with an option to report "slop content outside /ai/". But staff will never do that because modern 4chan is run like a business. Money matters; anons don't.

>>433406
AI bros would just tell you you are coping badly.

}>In order to maximize productivity and eliminate abuse, the Department of 4chan Efficiency is reorganizing certain 4chan boards.
I wonder what they are planning to do

4chan primes April Fools gimmick is fucking shit this year, all its doing is generating garbage shitposting.

In the past when they did stuff like fuse boards it actually caused interesting content that people looked back on happily for years.

>>433414
Wow, that's incredibly low effort.

Congrats to the 4chan Prime staff for concocting the site's weakest April Fools' joke to date.

Bring back moot.

>>433415
"What if we did a prank that's funny to the mod team and no one else?" is an encapsulation of everything that's shit about 4chan right now.

>>433424
>Would you throw away the chance to make the funniest April Fools prank since GPT-4chan?
Yes.

>>433424
It may be low effort, but it is entertaining, and therefore it works.

>>433426
>it is entertaining
Compared to monitoring liquid wall adornments becoming exsuccous, sure.

>>433427
It's being talked about on every altchan and discord I see, with people wondering what will happen next. So yes, it is entertaining.

>>433428
>what will happen next.
This gimmick has two tricks: close a(nother) board, then add l33tsp34k. What happens next is not difficult to work out.

The mods could escalate to showing dogs card tricks, but if this is all it takes to get anons buzzing, they've already got that angle covered.

It's honestly the worst April fools so far. Just nuking everybody's communities and forcing them to hang out feels scummy to me. The board merge was based on jokes people were already making back then. One more year, plus4 shows it has better ideas for April fools jokes than 4prime.

>>433430
>One more year, plus4 shows it has better ideas for April fools jokes than 4prime.
Yeah, I've been really pleased with this site's April Fools jokes. It's the kind of thing 4chan used to do back when it was still run by people who were actually creative.

>>433440
What did you do?

>>433450
I posted a crudely drawn penis

>>433451
You would be fine in 2009. Damn.....

something is going on, /qa/ is now open again and there's a sitewide announce about it.

>>433483
This is how 4chan dies, right? not with a mass FBI raid but with a retard getting hacked.

Is there any reason Hiro shouldn't sell the site at this point, and then commit seppuku?

Confirmed it was a hack by the sharty. The janny database is getting dumped and leaked.

Someone please collect and share the leaks, I'll be unable to check the sharty thread nonstop for this.

Call me a schizo but this seems like a planned burn of a useless asset. USAID money gets pulled and other government shit gets gutted and now 4chan can't justify its excel budget line

>>433488
Huh, I guess that would mean we'd finally have to find a new chan to congregate on, after all these years.

>>433488
lol, 4chan taking USAID money is something I could see, but you can actually look that up on a public database so it would've been mentioned already if it was.

It's been five hours, surely the site will be back up and running by morning, right?

Yea shits hitting the fan right now

>>433491
Dev is a guy from the USA if I recall, he might just have put it into stasis for now.

Full source code has been leaked.

>>433494
Isn't that literally how Moot made 4chan in the first place? By ripping 2ch's source code and copying it?

>>433499
The retarded ban policy definitely wont get them any sympathy.
Got a perma for breaking a rule that didnt exist until my second appeal.

>>433499
Stay here, you'll be safe from bad mods.

>>433494
So what? It's not like it's a fucking nuclear submarine it's an imageboard, you're posting on one right now

I thought imageboards where done with a template, like phpbb forums back in the days

>>433535
We are still trying to find our place on the internet filled with bots, retards and glowies.

>>433514
No, sadly. Dont even know where the Jumpchain guys from /tg/ or all the various horror generals are gonna go.

>>433589
could always ask to have a horror board for here possibly

>>433499
Yeah I gotta say, I don't want 4chan to be dead for good but I don't exactly regret the jannycide taking place, those fuckers had it coming. Maybe this was all a long time coming.

>>433634
I highly doubt it'll be dead for good, but it's gonna take a while for them to fix everything. It'd be nice if we got an ETA.

>>433637
Jap Moot's basically gonna have to fire everybody, right? The Jannies and the Mods are all compromised, all their info got leaked. Their social media is getting leaked as we speak.

>>433638
I don't know but given how he's made a plethora of retarded decisions in the past I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

>>434079
Wonder what had to happen to cause that.

>>433646
thank you, aniki

>>434097
This happens if the site is unable to load the stylesheet/javascript for some reason. I can't really do anything about it.

Ctrl+F5 will usually fix it.

>>434100
I suppose it's because I use (what is basically) a netbook as my dedicated shipost machine. This Red Alert thing makes the browser lag like crazy. Is there a way to turn it off?

To use the site, I need to switch between tabs where threads were loaded before it was implemented (to post) and duplicates of those tabs with scripts disabled (to check for new comments).

There has been no official statement from 4chan has there? It's been down for some now already.
But maybe a quiet death is what would have been expected.

>>434101
Right now you can manually mute each +4 tab. I'm doing that right now.

>>434103
Shut the fuck up, twister.

>>434101
Yes, it is most likely because your system does not support hardware acceleration. What browser + hardware are you running? I can't see it from my end.

If it is indeed what I suspect then you'd have a lot of lag anyway because many threads here are 500 to 1000+ posts long.

>>434102
They made a twitter post.

I serve 4chan

apparently soyak party is behind this

>>434108
>I shouldn't need that to browse a website.
plus4chan isn't a website, it's a musical adventure.

>I think it should be obvious why I'd rather not mention this.
Yes, and that's why I asked, because it looks like you are using Tor but I know for a fact that I have that blocked.

>>434110
Fun fact: you spelled it more correctly. Since Polish is not read as you do written English, it was always voYak (male soldier). woJak came from English speakers reading Polish incorrectly.

But yes, most annoying people did ONE good thing.

If you enjoy your hookers to be old and full of aids maybe.

How did they hack it?

>>434127
Because of a (literal) PDF file. More details in this thread >>433496

>>434163
Apparently tomorrow but that’s even scarier

>>434169
where did you get "tomorrow" from?

I'm here from soyjak party (soyjak.st) and for some reason, the site itself won't load. It's either just all the new migrants coming to the site or some salty anon decided to cyberattack the 'party back. Idk and idc really, I just like seeing this unfold. What do y'all think?

Also I like all the Red Alert stuff, it's cool, but I wish there was a way to turn it off...

>>434163
>>434169
>>434170
It's not gonna be tomorrow that's for sure. Their entire source code was leaked, that's gonna take a bit. Probably weeks or even months.

I'm fucking bored.

Just cummed.

>>434103
See >>434248.

>>434177
Sharties should be lucky they haven't had people contracted to kill them yet. You fuckers caused all this bullshit, don't think you'll get anything but hate. I'm surprised sharty's admins haven't been doxxed themselves yet.

Go outside, go to a mall, travel somewhere new, talk to your friends, so on and so on

this isn't even rule 34 wtf

Losing /b/ would be the end.

>>434326
/b/ died a long time ago.

>>434331
It served the purpose of being a 'wild west' territory rather well. It was polluted to shit, sure, but that was the whole point.

>>434326
It's weird how much foreshadowing there was, with the april fools event and the mod going full retard with thread wipes

>>434332
>served the purpose of being a 'wild west' territory rather well
No- /trash/ did that way better, even after it got flooded with fetish generals.

>>434334
I don't know how /trash/ had by far the best drawing advice general on 4chan (Drawing improvement general), but it was funny

>>434334
/trash/ felt like a better /b/ to me

>>434332
It just turned to place posting porn

>>434342
/trash/ was okay if you stayed out of all the discord grooming generals, but those were real bad. The "pussyfree" general was some of the most horrid shit I've ever seen on the clearnet. Imagine sexually fetishizing being a failure.

>>434347
these absolutely needed to nipped in the bud. they had their own offshoot *chan for a while and it got worse there.

>>434347
I'm not sure why discord advertisements aren't an auto-ban just like any other advertisement. That place is such a disgusting groomer website

>>434354
I've browsed a couple of official discords for indie video games and they seem fine, presumably those are the minority unlike random chatroom style discords

Since someone brought it up... If 4chan Prime consistently applied its "no advertising/begging" rule, then every outrage bait threads with a YouTube video preview image in the OP would get vaporized on sight, because the OP is obviously trying to direct you to that video/channel.

Mods presumably allow such threads because omitting direct links to the video/channel technically means no rule has been broken. That, or the mods just like the traffic/ad exposure generated by bait threads.

>>434359
Advertise thing I like = good
Advertise thing I don't like = bad

>>433430
Nah, it's lower tier but still runs circles the one year where literally nothing happened other then adding a "GPT" label to your posts. Now THAT sucked donkey dick

>>434366
Having practically nothing happen can never be worse than making the site unusable.

>>434366
I will happily take a lame April Fools' prank over one that totally removes your ability to post on your board of choice. Every time.

>>434366
That was lame but harmless, I could still post on /tg/ without anything being affected.

>>434336
If you're not autistic enough to love the art of drawing per se you have to be a shameless enough pervert to ask the specific questions you need
Why wouldn't that fit /trash/'s description

>>434382
Well I'm both an autist that loves the art of drawing and a shameless internet pervert, so I guess that's why the general meshed so well with me

>>434369
>>434373
People always have this complaint about more active April Fools events, and I never get it. It's one (1) day.

>>434384
>People always have this complaint
There are exactly zero other 4chan April Fools events that this very specific complaint applies to.

Any new leaks or info?

>>434393
Board merger, if you really want semantics, but people often bitch about boards being unusable (in a non-literal sense) on April 1.

>>434398
Fair enough.

I miss /an/. I hope Platyanon is OK.

>>434405
Well thanks a REAL LOT for that, Satan

>>428502
>4chan just shit itself (again)
>So how are you all doing?
I'm legitimately about to lose my shit. I knew I was addicted but I didn't know I was this bad off.

>>434411
it's kinda sad that i felt like i had a bunch of friends on there

>>434411
Having none of the /vg/ generals I frequent for four days has really soured my afternoons. Those were my source of news for niche shit.

>>434412
Yeah that kinda sucks but thankfully I generally avoid that.

I just want to talk trash about the new Mario Kart and meme around
