This thread will serve as the official repository of older ROB threads from 4chan that were part of the "original run."

At first, ROB threads were developed to revolve around a storyarc. This approach was abandoned due to lack of interest and how chaotic R.O.B. threads began to get starting around March/April 2013.

Since May 2013, R.O.B. threads became less frequent and more spontaneous, which was basically me trying to have fun with them while shitposting became completely unavoidable. As a result, a good number of R.O.B. threads that occurred between May 2013-September 2014 wont be included in this round-up.

With that said, here we go!

The very first R.O.B. thread, which was originally meant as a one-off joke thread on /v/.

This was the first thread in which people now began to refer to the threads as "R.O.B. the Robot Threads."

A lot of the beginning threads were just me showing off pieces of my collection.

This also marks the first appearance of "Dog," who has appeared in a handful of ROB Threads unintentionally for the most part.

This thread featured the first appearance of Game Boy.

Also, I understand that the archive's photo's aren't working for these older threads. Unfortunately, there really isn't anything I can do.

do you save the images from past threads or do you delete them once the thread is finished?

I have every photo from every R.O.B. thread.

About 10,000 or so images, give or take.

I wouldn't suggest this unless the photos were fairly organized, but perhaps you could upload the pics (compressed in an archive) for the corresponding thread, then someone could combine the text and pics into an image or something

you might even consider replicating a thread in a web-comic style website after a thread was over

I know this is asking too much, but maybe you can "select" the images and replies you want to show and just compress them here. I mean, you have all the power here, why not make "locked" threads with all the old content? Only if you want, I know is a lot of work for something you maybe don't like to remember at all.

What might end up happening is that certain threads would be "replayed" here.

Not all of them, mind you, because that would take forever. Just the ones I feel that need to be retold.

http://archive.moe/v/thread/153901869/

The one wherein R.O.B. and GB become friends.

It was explained in this thread that the Game Boy was "sentient" for years, but always hid itself away from R.O.B. for over twenty years.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but…
I can barely see any image in those threads.

since Archive.Moe is down are the ROB threads gonna be archived somewhere else?

They say 8archive is worked on. It would come to no surprise to me if it turns out, that it comes back as inline Archive.

I am here for another concern: >>>/irc/5070

Was that ban your first dispute with 4chan moderation? How unreasonable were they?

This is the first time I'm seeing this, and it's strange.

I have no idea what they're talking about in regards to me posting K-Pop, because I don't even prefer that type of music at all to even know what tracks to play.

At that time, I was annoyed by the fact that R.O.B. threads were given inconsistent treatment by both the moderators and the janitors. Back on 4chan, R.O.B. threads slowly became targeted for shitposting like any recurring thread eventually does, especially one that is ran by a tripfag and is done for weeks on end like they were. At first, shitposts were being deleted, then they weren't, then they were again, and then I end up getting banned for some bogus reason.

Everyone who was paying attention to the threads were paying attention to the treatment because they wanted some sort of definitive proof that R.O.B. threads were acceptable on /v/, but they would inevitably reneg on their actions and let shitposters have their way. What's more, they would never definitively state whether or not this was acceptable for /v/ under the current rules at the time. If they had just came out with some sort of simple message that "Yes, they were." we could have avoided so much headache at the beginning.

Eventually they didn't, and eventually they stopped caring about the threads and they ended up becoming a magnet for shitposters any time they came on. Those who genuinely enjoyed the threads eventually stopped trying to enjoy them because it just became an exercise in patience in putting up with shitposts.

I had contacted a mod about getting a ban reversed, and it was. That wasn't enough, though.

I swear that the /q/ board, which was moot's q&a and suggestion board that he put up back in 2012, was made up by a good percentages of threads demanding that R.O.B. threads be banned, and every single one almost always devolved into shouting matches between those who would meticulously describe how they were against the rules and didn't belong, and those who had to remind others that they weren't forced to look at them.

R.O.B. threads throughout mid-2013 until late 2014 were sparse and few, because so much trouble went into making them. It was only after the exodus in 2014 did they finally have a place where they were outright accepted.

Why would anyone want the threads banned?

1 thread, once a week at most, with practically no overlap into other threads

That's no bother at all for anyone, but of course the no fun allowed types have to remove anything that could be enjoyable and original about a board.

Don't know if you'll see this, but Happy New Year ROBOp.

Thank you for bringing something cheerful into the normally pessimistic /v/ culture.

May the following year be good to you.
