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/4152762Please specify why don't you go to 4/a/ or 8/a/ in this thread. Try to put some thought into it besides stuff like "muh SJW boogeyman" or "8/a/ is a no fun allowed piece of shit", which are both lame excuses that aren't true in my opinion.
Best homunculi unrelated.

No reason not to.
8/a/ is a cozy place for slow but quality discussion, while 4/a/ is for satisfying your needs in participating in lively discussions about the currently airing shows.
If you disagree, you're missing out. Your loss.

>>1977>>1975The fact that there isn't even any discussion on the new UBW episode as of right now on 8/a/ when 4/a/ has been through 4 threads with 500 plus posts on each of them is enough to consider 4/a/ superior

>>1975>>1977Basically this, minus the typemoon autism.
I'm in a kind of weird position, since I hate 4chan for /pol/ ack reasons, but I'm also a 2-year pass owner, and probally gonna renew in november if I have money then. I had a leftover giftcard before, so I'm not a cuck who gave christopher my hardowned money, but I'm not sure what I'll do next year. As for 8ch, I hate this place too for similar autistically stupid reasons, but the /a/ circles are pretty cozy. I'm a wizardchan user, so it's been fun and interesting to have a frontrow seat to all the chan drama for the past year.
Anyway, tl;dr version is yes I use both, and I think both have their benefits.
8ch is slower and doesnt discuss some of my favorite seasonal shows, while 4/a/ does, but it's cozy and way faster than all the other alternatives like, lainchan, meguca, ota-ch etc.. None of those boards have a "draw" to them unless you share a fanbase with them, while this /a/ doesn't have a bias in any one direction, it's just slower than 4chan but still pretty active. So I think it makes 8/a/ much more attractive as an "alternative", but not as a "replacement".

I'm sorry, but I really don't see any reason to use 8chan's /a/ at all. The quality of the board is almost the same, the discussions are inferior in terms of variety, most of the userbase comprises of /v/ermin trash, the mods are just as shit as 4chan mods, etc. The appeal is non-existent for me.

I can only speak for myself, but though I watch a lot per season you're lucky to get one or two posts per episode out of me. With no other frame of reference I have to assume the rest of the board is operating under the same mentality, and it's probably the same back on 4/a/ (though obviously the speed there makes it impossible to perceive).
>>2033
>And feel free to link a thread that's full of great discussion where the quality of 8/a/ really shines.
We both know that due to the nature of ANY /a/ you'll be able to nitpick out posts that you can then hold up as proof of /v/-dom, but taking the last thread I read >>>/a/204254 seemed fine to me. I expect you'll shit on the speed, but that's a separate issue.

>>2036
>You are forgetting that /pol/ was destroyed and stayed destroyed for weeks (don't browse /pol/ either so don't remember how long exactly)
Yes, and that had to do with GG too, since joot was aware it was /pol/ who found out about his Kike girlfriend which works at Gawker was cucking him with another dude. Some of the logs even mention their janitors/mods considering the possibility of deleting /pol/ once and for all. They gave up on that idea and they're now trying their hardest to prevent any more people from leaving the site. 4/a/ didn't had anything to do with this, so they had no reason to emigrate, specially considering the bad reputation that a few faggots have made of 8ch there. It's not like all of them were unwilling to move out of there though, since 8/a/ actually saw a huge increase in users when joot's retirement was announced. I guess they all just left because they thought the board was shit compared to 4/a/, be it because of it's moderation or the userbase. Either way, you have no one to blame but yourselves for that.
>why for instance did /b/ come across?
A lot of /pol/ and /v/ users used that board too I think. Also, GG was censored on 4/b/ as well, wasn't it?
>For that matter how did /furry/ make their way here?
Furfaggot websites being taken down and the fact that 4chan doesn't have a furry board for them bring their mental illness to (besides /vp/ maybe…).

No, for once you have a point, that thread is crap. But, that's a single thread, and as I said before any argument that can be used to brand 8/a/ as /v/ can also be applied to 4/a/. Don't have to look too far, here's a /v/-tier thread I found on the front page https://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/124273255/ - if you'd like I can cherry pick out some particularly blatant /v/posts. Wouldn't prove much, though.
>Kind of weird that the majority of these boards all had their posting speed dramatically increase after the GG / /v/ exodus.
Again I can only speak for myself, but /a/ and /a/ alone is and has always been my only home board. I had been feeling for a long time that the mods had fallen out of step with the community and no longer cared, and I had been looking for an alternative for years. When September rolled around I finally saw we had a chance to set up an alt/a/ and never looked back. As I only have myself to extrapolate from, it is perfectly reasonable for me to assume I wasn't the only one in that boat, and in those early meta threads it was very clear the board was comprised of other /a/nons hoping for the same thing I was.

What factual basis do you have to make that claim? At least here the mods have an official "fuck /v/" policy, can you say the same for 4/a/? The way I see it both boards have similar problems, but it's not fair to call either made up of /v/.

>At least here the mods have an official "fuck /v/" policy
Why wasn't that thread the other anon linked to deleted then?
>can you say the same for 4/a/?
Actually, yes. Their mods delete a lot of /v/-tier shitposting. The board is much better moderated than it was a while ago. I guess the new admin of the site actually cares a lot about /a/ compared to joot if this is him: >>2019 (that's some nice taste indeed btw).

Not really a high bar, but I hope you realize the only reason they're actually putting in effort is down to the existence of 8chan.

This is true.
I guess my question to you is, if you could will yourself to produce something constructive, what would you do to fix 8/a/? Of course you have no interest in doing so, but I think we should establish just what a useless waste of space you are.

Yeah, I did mentioned that myself earlier.
>I guess my question to you is, if you could will yourself to produce something constructive, what would you do to fix 8/a/?
I dunno, m8. Most of the problems lie in the actual userbase of the board. It would be pretty hard to fix that since the board is already established with it's regular users and stuff. But one thing you can do is listen to the complaints that people have about how the board is moderated. That would help things a bit. I'm talking about that are actually constructive and have good arguments backing them up though, not the "DETHRONE THE HOTPOCKETS, ANARCHY NOW!" shit that /int/ says all the time. Removing the retarded rule about banning people for not using perfect punctuation and capitalization would be a good start. You'll just end up with an even deader board if you continue enforcing policies like that.
>Of course you have no interest in doing so, but I think we should establish just what a useless waste of space you are.

/qa/ used to be the board where moot held his Q and A, afterwords some of users stayed behind and convinced the mods to let it remain as an unofficial, unlisted meta board. It's a very nice, laid back place to converse.
That thread might be the first ever interaction between 4 and 8chan that isn't a mass amount of shitposting.

>>2064
That thread would be considered off-topic in pretty much every other board, so it would be in fair grounds for deletion. And they're doing a bad job in "trying to hide it" if your suspicions are correct, since the thread reached max reply limit in just a few days.
6ba26d No.2068
>>2065
Nah, part of it is a good sign but part of it is also just them being more levelheaded in enforcing their agenda. It wouldn't make any sense to ban someone for a discussion thread on /q/ social. But, it is a good sign
ALTERNATIVE is a fucking faggot mod from #4chan in rizon, him and ABIB are the two main ones. Basically imagine the shittiest IRC circlejerk like 8chan's IRC, woxxy/siztra, fansubbers etc. and the 4chan IRC is still worse. I see no evidence of him being the third admin though, I would be very surprised and devestated if that's the case. I thought it was a separate guy who's the 3rd admin so I doubt it's him, he's such a huge douche and faggot laughing stock on rizon. /rant, I seriously hate that guy

It wouldn't make any sense to ban GG discussion on /pol/ or /b/ either, yet they did that before.

There's no evidence of *anything*, but RapeApe and MrBob are almost 99% confirmed.

Dude, the whole site here is just /v/ and /pol/ plus the interests that the users of both of those boards have outside of their main hobbies. On cuckchan, this is much more evenly spread. It's not comparable.
I don't know about the actual percentage of 8/a/'s /v/ crossboarders compared to 4/a/, but you can be sure it's significantly higher. I don't blame you for it though, that's just the nature of the site. .

Worst type of poster. Want a thread? Make it yourself. That's how the threads that /a/ are full of get determined in the first place (shocking!) - anons like you make the threads they want to see, they don't just wait around for some other faggot to do this shit for them.
Really, people like you are half the reason some shit just doesn't get discussion here in the first place. They're too used to what they want on 4/a/ being made by someone else and they drag that retarded mentality over here, and rather than actually making threads themselves when it doesn't happen they just shit up /a/ and /ameta/ with autistic whinging like this. If you want to be spoonfed everything rather than actually engaging in discussion yourself go back to 4/a/.

The threads about the current shows are already made. It's the userbase's fault they aren't getting as much discussion as the blogshit thread for example.

I'm actually trying to quit 4chan. The mods and admin are total bigots toward my sexual orientation so much so that I was permanently banned for merely starting a discussion about it on /b/.

Yeah, those threads are pretty much always going to get more discussion. Any anon can blog about his life but when it comes to talking about a given show you're relying entirely on the ~5-10% of anons who are watching it to actually. Same reason the board-tan, NEET and meta threads (before they shifted here) got so much traffic - they have pretty much no barrier of entry.
fa79a8 No.2100
8088a3 No.2101

Yes, and that's why more traffic is necessary in order to be able to discuss the currently airing shows appropriately.
I don't think that blogging crap should be allowed there though, and the fact that the thread is not full of people saging it and telling OP to fuck off worries me. It has nothing to do with anime, manga or even /jp/-related content.
78b19b No.2102
I am not really sure what can be done about speeding up seasonal discussion. Apparently the traffic we do get sees the threads are slow and decides to leave.

I'm a NEET, but I wish /neet/ was more popular instead of having those kind of threads up often. Although occasionally I don't mind, it's the second one recently.
As for the activity thing, I just see as 8ch as a secondary to 4chan, but I like it that way. It's faster than smaller alternatives, like ota-ch, and meguka, and more content is covered. But it sucks when your favorite show has literally no other watchers here, like fafner last season. I can deal with threads that last the whole season, but no discussion at all is demoralizing.

People need to vindicate themselves somehow I suppose.
The ability to paint moot as a ess-jay-double-u cuckold who was amazingly outed by the brave Arayan detectives of /pol/ is an intriguing story for morale and to justify themselves.
Saying moot was friends with a chick who worked in a similar field, social media, and also had a boyfriend is a little less sexy of a story, don't you think?

He paid for fancy meals with her, took her to Europe, she wrote her final college thesis about him (and 4chan), and she works for a PR firm that has worked for Gawker (GG and /pol/ connection, etc.).
When /pol/ started to sperg out over his relationship with her it got functionally destroyed and turned into shitposting central for a month.
It really isn't a jump in logic to believe that he had feelings for her, that she didn't reciprocate, and upon 4chan finding out he got too assblasted over his inability to get into her panties to let the ridicule slide.

No, in fact, they are way more tolerant of /pol/-tier stuff than our /a/ is.

Yes, but I don't think that had anything to do with Gawker or SJW's, since it happened a long time ago.
