Not sure how much attention the rest of you have been paying to what's been happening on the rest of 8ch.
Basically, we're being raided by an outside chan. They've been trying to turn users against board owners by spamming anime images then spamming more about how the mods are rulecucks. From there, either new boards are created, or existing ones cooped and an effort is made to drive users to the new boards. /v/, /pol/ and /sp/ have all been major targets, with /leftypol/ possibly being next. Honestly, the whole thing smells a lot like what happened a while ago on here with the nazi spammer and /am/, but they might try it again with more force.
I didn't post this on the actual board because of the no meta rule, but hopefully at least some of you see this, especially the board owner or one of the mods. More info can be found here:

I have been banned recently, because of Pic related.
WTF does posting a link to Kiss manga equal to instant ban without warning. I was about to reply to the anon who replied >Kissmanga, but then I was banned!
Im ignorant of this reason to ban. Have Kissmanga done something horrible or what?
Also, when appealing to a ban…How do I recieve or read the notification? Where I can see if my appeal response?
4/a/'s hatred for anything 8chan
They hate us but it's misguided hate. I was part of the first exodus to 8chan and don't even play video games or participate in /v/. I just got tired of the mods and 8chan was a chance to leave that place. It's really a shame that they hate us so much.
Mods are really soft on /a/ now compared to when they were before the first exodus. It's not because they suddenly care. It's because they don't want a rebellion. If /a/ rebelled like /v/, /jp/, /pol/ and /sp/ that would be a big problem for 4chan. But I'm not going to let their softness lure me in because I don't want to go back there.
Tensions I think will be high between 4/a/ and the moderation in the coming future. But the moderation will be like loving babysitters and go into damage control should any problems happen. Moderation fucked up other boards but they stopped themselves just in time for /a/ before it became too late. They only realized that after ruining several other boards and causing a mass migration to 8chan.
They don't even know that 8chan is the only thing right now preventing moderation from bringing down the hammer on them.
Have any of you faggots considered that maybe posts are dropping because it's finals week for a lot of Uni folks/finals week is coming up in a week or two for a lot of highschool-aged folks?
I'm sure posts will be up again by next month.
Boards like /k/ have an active userbase of older folks while boards like /a/ tend to be "restricted" to folks more in their mid twenties and younger.
I'm not sure how the fuck furry is surviving though. Fuck that gay shit.

Do your job mods, or get rid of the rule, you can't have both.
mods, DO YOUR JOB
The month is up. Take >>>/otomad/ off of the board announcement.
Janitor from 8/a/ here.
I want to start off by saying how completely disappointed I am in every single one of you. You all single handedly ran away our guests by posting nothing but childish, disrespectful, and just flat out rude /jp/ shitposting threads. /a/ is a chance for redditors and people in general to interact with us jannies and otherwise famous people when they will likely never have a chance to do so. What you all did was completely un-called for. I am now having to reschedule the hotpocketing for another time because so many people that actually wanted to have meaningful serious discussions had their chances ruined because of all of you. I can tell you with complete certainty that if I see a single “OHAYOU”, “Take it easy!”, or “SAOVQ” reference on /a/ you can bet that you will be permanently banned.
Good signature of the j/a/nny. You can verify this signature on 8chan /a/.
Why are 3D girls so disgusting, /a/?
To be fair, i am far from a "chad", some ladies proposed to me, but that's it.
I literally can't feel anything other than disgust for 3D women. At first i trought that all those years around imageboards had turned me into a fag, whoever, i felt disgusted after i watched gay porn, and believe me, i've tried my hardest.
Why are 2D girls so good, /a/?

A short rant
The ratio of /a/'s actual skill to how smug and elitist they are is worse than almost any community I've seen. You guys make Linus Torvald look like a patient man who loves to help aspiring programmers, but your claim to fame is being able to navigate unintuitive user interfaces on obscure websites.
Don't know shit need help
I didn't copy & paste whatever I tried to say and thread wouldn't upload because I didn't activate the captcha or it was "server error". I spilled my guts out but now I forgot exactly what I said. Just wanted to say I've been lurking for months now as suggested by other /a/nons and have the confidence now to make threads or become part of other threads. I do believe in the quality control of content related to /a/ and will gladly follow the guidelines to keep the board alive with my fellow /a/nons.
I doubt the meidos come here that often, but can I ask what your rationale is for not having a public ban log? I'm fine with the moderation of /a/, but I think transparency is always good.
Example: https://8ch.net/log.php?board=tech
Thread pruned or deleted
Why was the ValVraVe thread removed?
It was http://8ch.net/a/res/353699.html
(I'd link the archive, but it doesn't work.)
I'm not a cuckold because I think the black race is superior. I just happen to be a huge masochist, and the idea of humiliation turns me on. Having sex with niggers is like sex with animals, so the idea of my girlfriend having sex with them and making me clean her up after is the biggest turn on ever. I don't have a girlfriend, but my older sister went out with a black guy once, and that was almost as good.
I can't believe the topics the last few days. The kind of conversations going on. Are we being raided? There isn't that much to do about anime, but everyone comes in to debate transexuality, homosexuality, and vagrancy.
We need to gut this obvious bait and enforce our own type of "rule 11" where we keep things on topic with anime. I myself get stifled off when you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to talk about season one because the other threads are about NEETs, Traps, Feminine Dicks, Weeblife, and TFW You'll Never be a Cute Little Girl type of shit.
Come on, meidos, enforce some shit, get rid of this not anime meta garbage. This is going to be a trend sooner or later and 8chan's /a/ will turn in to wizardchan where 80% of posts concern how much bodily fluid users have saved in mason jars.
Let me be clear, I sporadically check out /a/ and I liked to board months ago, but it seems like there are more, to put it bluntly, dicks hanging out on the board. I'm genuinely curious as to why some of you guys make it a point to either not respond to newcomer questions or to make a post reprimanding someone for doing so. Is it the notion that answering questions here and there, as simple as they are, open a perceived flood gate of genuine fags that can't be assed to google it themselves?
Is there really a point in making a post whose only purpose is a reprimand?
Best example in my recent memory was the Boku no Hero Academia thread that saw posts and post removals over people just naming the manga in response to what manga the thread was about.

Idea
Why don't we raid other altchan /a/s and /jp/ spinoffs to increase our notoriety and presence? It may not directly increase our own speed but the least stupid might come here and choose to post on their own since even with our issues we're must faster than of them.
Some of the alts I know about that would be good targets:
http://boards.plus4chan.org/jam/
https://wizchan.org/jp/index.html (Note: clicking this one directly will take you to reddit since the wizards are paranoid. Copy and paste do it in another tab.)
Not really sure what to do for content. The low hanging fruit is posts related Nano and any other characters with infinity symbols on their garb I guess.
what the fuck
Looking around 8chan and seeing these sad attempts at cancer is making me proud. You don't even need to directly trigger anons and they already show their own weaknesses. I'll feed on the cringe. Also, the ones who are making valid well thought out comments make me happy too.

This is a thread from 2010.
https://archive.moe/a/thread/40434723/#40434723
"lol" and all caps retard posting, and /v/ memes, when did this stop being tolerated? I myself am a newfag to /a/ of only 2-3 years, I have observed from a lot of archive lurking though that from 2008-2010 "/a/ culture" never seemed to exclude lol and smilies. When did this change? I am curious.
CHAIKA, ON THE FRONTPAGE! question
Yo this is >>>/a/219392
I wanted to check with you meidos if it's ok if I post those 1000 chaikas next year if people remember to Chaikapost then.
I'm asking because those one thousand Chaikas could easily be considered flooding/spamming, since I can only attach 5 per post, and I really have to check with you guys beforehand. Thinking back, I should've done this three months ago, so sorry about being late.
lol Short for laugh out loud funny ban. I don't see what is wrong with this at all, I capitalized my 'I' and all. Is 'fap' 'fapping' or 'fapped' a bannable offense as well? Please teach us idiots how to type properly by correcting every acronym along with giving a ban to those to use them. Shit sorry to the OP Short for original poster/post of that thread, I didn't know my lol
Short for laugh out loud would completely ruin an otherwise perfect thread.

If you don't give into our demands by 12 AM GMT on July 30th we will finish off the site
Our demands are:
1) Send 5 souls to 1A7MLZrwRBNTd2XDi6fMiKgrfHvjw3QxuH.
2) Make /pol/ a global board.
3) Behead the site's developer, Josh, for being a kike.
4) Send an official letter of surrender to Lucifer over an astral trip.
5) Send us a jar of cripple's blood.
If these demands are not met the consequences WILL be dire
Let negotiations proceed. Pic related, I am behind seven pentagrams. No bans can get to me.

I know /ameta/ board is practically dead but I'm sure there are a couple who actually somewhat care enough to lurk this board. So here's an actual meta thread. /a/ has been in the 400's for a while now. Usually they pick back up but they haven't. I do think that it will go back to normal in this upcoming season. In fact, I hope the board quits being shit this next season.

Hey it's me again your ol' pal.
You didn't respond to my last ban here, which kinda bummed me out.
Anyways this time I got banned for trying to crack a joke about that richard simmons KISS tweet. I understand that you maybe didn't quite catch it, this picture should explain it for you. If not just say so and I can go in depth on it. Hope to hear back from the excellent mod team on this one!

I don't have a girlfriend, but my older sister went out with a black guy once, and that was almost as good.
I've been watching this board for a while now, and I've noticed a few patterns in the arguments and their flaws. There seem to be a number of people on here who don't actually browse 8/a/ who are advocating everyone goes back to 4/a/. Sometimes, this strategy actually works and people go back to the original board. The two main reasons listed seem to be perceived quality and speed. 8/a/ is far slower than 4/a/, this is absolutely true, but I think plenty of evidence has been presented to show that statistically the board isn't really getting any slower. I submit that this board eats users by focussing their attention on obsessing over the speed more than they otherwise would care, but that's an issue for another thread.
The real issue is the quality. I've seen some screencaps indicating that the quality on 8/a/ has been dropping, and I think they're probably right. I've seen users throw up their hands and say
>this place is shit now, I'm going back to 4chan
But it's not like 4/a/ is actually doing better. In fact, as we can see from threads like https://archive.moe/a/thread/125873501 and https://archive.moe/a/thread/125711407 the exact same complaints you're seeing about it here on /ameta/ are also cropping up over there. I think it's a case of the grass always being greener on the other side, and submit that BOTH /a/'s are having the exact same thing happen to them, here or there is a false dichotomy.
Something is very wrong with the /a/ community as a whole, I don't understand what but jumping around sites searching for the silver bullet isn't the answer. We need to identify what the problems are and what countermeasures could be used, and it mustn't be in the form of bickering about the 4/a/ vs. 8/a/ dichotomy or we'll never get anywhere.
/a/ is a community, not a website, and I think most here have lost sight of that. It is a BAD thing if 4/a/ goes under, it is a BAD thing if 8/a/ goes under, it is a BAD thing if fufufu goes under, it is a BAD thing if ANY instance of /a/ goes under. It really looks like we might be on the verge of losing the core spirit of /a/ indefinitely, and we really need to work together on this to prevent that from happening.
Can we please have IDs enabled. It would greatly detract the shitpost count as casual users wouldn't go through the process of switching up their proxy and posting under an ID.
We'd have users to blame per thread and call them out for their behavior.
I normally don't post on /a/ for the very fact there aren't IDs, seeing as the lack of them encourages people to samefag while creating a false dichotomy.

8/a/ has really fucking zero consistency when it comes to moderation. The more I browse your board the less I understand it. Mods allow all of the garbage I linked yet ban people for not using perfect grammar and for having different opinions like: >>2375
What the fuck is wrong with you, really? Do your mods have brain damage?
I'll throw in some ideas, as always you are can think I'm a massive faggot that's wrong if you want. The best ideas come from struggle and disagreement.
btw I don't watch anime anymore but I used to post on 4chan /a/ a long time ago.
8chan is not at prime time yet, that will happen when the rewrite is completed. Right now the board software has some issues that will put people off.
4chan /a/ has a much higher opinion of itself than it deserves, the board is mostly shitposting but having a good morale about it is ok. The elitism is largely in their minds.
/a/ is one of the pillars of 4chan, if /a/, /v/, /b/ and /pol/ are shaken then the whole of 4chan is, unfortunately /a/ was one of the boards least shaken by recent events.
You need all the users you can get. 4chan got to where it was today due to lax rules, I'm not saying it should be a shitposting free for all but a balance.
90% of the problems are due to smaller userbase, 8chan needs more users. Even if the moderation was terrible more users would balance it out.
4chan has a massive advantage, the user base is mostly under control and they are free to spread negative memes about you while you can not refute them on their home ground due to heavy censorship.
that is all.
I just wanted to say that I'm content with /a/'s moderation and that the slow speed of the board is more than likely due to the average user's level of experience with the medium coupled with the mountain of shit that comes out every season.
We have nothing to talk about because anime is dead.
Why is MAL hated?
>4chan hates MAL because plebs, normies, underage etc.
>all the other chans alo hate MAL because plebs, normies, underage etc.
>hear an obscure anime, maybe not even fully subbed
>look it up on MAL
>it is guaranteed to have 2-4 reviews, even if some obscure 70s sunrise or toei anime
>click on one of their profiles
>they are no some "xD look at me!!!" weeb, their accounts are a decade old and they have seem 500 anime's
>and the reviews themselves use fact-based reasoning, reasonable reviews, and not that pretentious or self-serving like the video game reviewer hipsters who get paid
>the only exception to this is for overly popular shit which gets the typical "Kill la kill is an anime that will change your life" style reviews
>meanwhile on /a///ot///jp/
>polls consistently show anons as have seen <100 anime's
>blogging happens out the ass and rarely ever policed/deleted
>and don't get me started on those entrenched fanbases who often complain about the shitty anime fan forums of their retarded fanforums (evageeks, typemoon, madotards etc.)
I do not understand why this MAL place has a bad reputation. . I wouldn't want to make an account there myself, but it seems like their general credibility is pretty good, probably better than /a/ or most Japanese websites.
Also to be clear, I hate those people who say "I have a MAL account but only use it for tracking". Why would you use anime facebook if you think the community is cancerous? I don't like social networking so I do not have an account there myself.

Do you visit both 8/a/ and 4/a/?
Since a lot of people here said they go to both boards but also some have said they only use one of them, I have decided to make a strawpoll to get some idea about the actual statistics about that: http://strawpoll.me/4152762For your perusal...
Does anyone else here think that the /a/ board has an inherent set of traits, common across the chans? In addition, do you think that /a/nons have traits that bind them together (weaboos, normals, otaku, all)? 'Cause I used to be a lurker on /tg/ and frankly it seems to be the same, with the same types of people, no matter where you can go. (pic unrelated, but funny)
Fucking Retard Rules
Let's go through all of >>>/a/ 's rules and see how fucking faggy and pathetic they are, shall we?Critisim is worth a ban now?
Seriously nigger? That thread was a shitposting thread if there ever was one, you acted silly by trying to clean it up and be stealthy, and I called you out on how pointless that is. If we're going to start pushing people that call maids out on their fuck ups to /ameta/, then you open yourself up to a lot more allegations of hotpocketdom. I would get it if I was trying to direct the thread entirely onto meta shit, but it was just the one post. I'm not even mad, you just need to be able to take criticism in an open fashion man.
Now I'll spend that 3 hours watching anime and fapping.

Pathetic
https://8ch.net/pol/res/1811410.html
Another thread where /pol/ is shitting their pants about anime and videogames. Of course, no one cares about the Eurasian shitposter thread also on the front page, their issue is that people are having fun instead of being serious all the time. And to them it must be some kind of mod conspiracy to slide something important off the front board, but you never hear what is being slid because they aren't talking about anything important.
/pol/ and /new/ have never been all serious, no fun allowed all the time. 4/pol/ is able to balance causal threads, actual political threads, along with happening threads when they happen. Say what you will about 8/a/, I think it feels the same as 4chan, it is just slower and some shows don't get discussed each season. But it feels the same. /pol/ feels like a different place, more paranoid, more serious, and less actually relevant content to discuss.
Not /a/ related, I realize that. But that anon, who hates 8/a/ but defends 8/pol/ and thinks I am an /int/shill, I would really like to know why a slower, more retardedly paranoid version of /pol/ is so necessary to defend or an attractive target for shills. What are they sliding.
Have you guys heard about the newest happening over on /pol/, both here and 4chan. It's leading into something called >>>/shillgate/. Pretty interesting stuff, if a bit terrifying. As /a/, we're almost entirely seperate from these sorts of things due to our focus on Japan. However since shillgate seems to be all about media control and subliminal messaging, I started to wonder about how it could. Then I remembered we have Get Married You Otaku Scum Season 2, the anime airing right now. Do you think other shows are more subtle and doing this type of thing? Sure, as non-Japanese viewers, we aren't the ones targetted, but it's worth considering.
I'm scared.
ichi.space
So I made this community thing called"8/a/ mods are too strict! No fun allowed!"
Meanwhile, on 4chan…This is about thread
>>>/a/112150
>Shitting up the thread that is already just underages going "HURF DURF AH'D FUK DAT" and pointlessly imagedumping
>Deleting the posts I've made since
What in fuck are you doing? Where do you think you are? How did you get to be a mod on /a/? This isn't fucking /h/, this isn't /e/, it's not an imagedumping board for retarded children.
Is this not supposed to be a new /a/, free of moot's shit? Why the fuck are you defending contentless shitpost threads?
You never came back with a ruling on why this kind of shit is being tolerated. If you're going to take the /a/ name, then treat the board like a proper replacement for /a/ instead of a shitpost board for crossboarders and underage. If you're not going to do that, then don't call your board /a/, so that maybe we can get a proper replacement and /a/nons won't show up, take one look at the board and leave forever. None of us want to go back to halfchan, but every time I've visited I've seen almost nothing but garbage, and that's nearly verbatim the response I've seen every time other people have discussed switching over from different boards / chans.
If you aren't going to try to be a proper /a/, change the name of the board so one that will can pop up. Deleting my posts, which are not violating the rules, not dubspamming, simply saging and replying to people explaining why what they are doing is shitposting, is completely out of line.
If you want your board filled with illiterate redditors and shitposting, that's fine, it's your board. But give the /a/ name back to /a/, it isn't yours and you're just ruining things for all of us by keeping it like this.
Goodbye cuck /a/.
So apparently I wanted to talk about the original Dragon Ball and literally the first post in my thread was "stop posting", to which I responded appropriately and told him to make some criticism instead of stupid shit. Next post is "stop posting" again, to which I responded eat shit because this is fucking ridiculous.Hunger Games Simulator

This morning I was banned from /a/ for one day with only motivation that I was tripfagging.
