Chris-chan is the one who got weirder. he just achieved some true mainstream infamy for fucking his elderly dementia-ridden mom, that's why everyone knows his name now. even so, they just have surface-level knowledge of him and haven't delved deep into the Christory

no such thing in the lounge

yes, call me gay, i didnt tell them to do any of this, but my friends (i know half of them through church of highschool btw, they're not even online friends) keep trace soyjaks of me in pictures where i make weird faces, and keep printing them out, and half the time its someone who you'd think never be into that kind of humor
its pretty bad, but i love them too much to get mad or hate it
most of them still find me to be the weird one, so maybe not much has really changed over the years.

keep tracing*

I'll try to post a new one every week.

This was awesome, thanks for the dump!

Lol, I thought this was German at first.

did this bot just open up with "aloha"?
thats fucking amazing. im stealing that.

They're correct

(σ･∀･)σ＜aloha!

i think you're thinking of how russians say "allo"

Until the recent December/January user influx, Strange World was consistently the 2nd most active board since it arrived here in July 2021 - even outpacing Off-Topic at times

The same cannot be said for Lounge... but since one of Lounge's primary purposes these days is to house longer-lasting, longer-format discussions, that's to be expected

Both have their purposes since they offer different cultures, different formats, different paces, different forms of AA, etc.

It's things like having multiple generic 4chan-clone imageboards that is redundant, but we already got rid of all of those

/lounge/ is for wise old men
/b/ is for lulzy otakus that make OC's
Ayashii is for short chatroom-like posts and discussions

>>63320
Which is the second most active board now? Are you looking at mod stats, or do I just need to start paying attention?

>>63372
I was just speaking from experience and previous calculations, but it's not hard to calculate

Here's the rankings for the past month (roughly), except for /jp/ which has only been here for 2 weeks:

1. /b/ - 137 PPD (posts per day)
2. /jp/ - 15 PPD
3. /lounge/ - 12 PPD
4. /q/ - 10 PPD
5. /sw/ - 9 PPD
6. /o/ - 2 PPD

For context, here's roughly the same period last year (mid March to mid April 2022):

1. /b/ - 23 PPD
2. /sw/ - 12 PPD
3. /lounge/ - 4 PPD
4. /q/ - 1 PPD
5. /o/ - 0.4 PPD

And here's 1 particular week of May 2022, featuring the "Kaguya Is Now Heyuri Admin" effect:

1. /b/ - 45 PPD
2. /sw/ - 25 PPD
3. /q/ - 10 PPD
4. /lounge/ - 6 PPD
5. /o/ - 1 PPD

>Are you looking at mod stats, or do I just need to start paying attention?
Other than the audit log, I mostly used searched within discord webhook to calculate last year's stats (on kokonotsuba boards) for last year's report on the front page. It's the easiest way and available to anyone.

On /sw/ there are Message logs, and /o/ is slow enough to easily calculate with post numbers (although it's a bit easier to calculate with the mod panel).

Mine works fine, ur VPN server must have gotten B& somewhere along the line

but what's the point of b&s at all if you can always just use Tor?

I can post whatever I want here, and noone can stop me!!!

I just have to inconvenience myself a tiny bit to do it...

>but what's the point of b&s at all if you can always just use Tor?
You have discovered the secret of imageboards: b&hammer is purely for pwning n00bs, hindering bots, and producing LOLs

What is your IP on the VPN? If it's on SpamDB I can probably open it
If there is any reason you don't want to post it here, you can e-mail it or just PM it to me on /b/.

>but what's the point of b&s at all
I think most of our srs bans are reminding users about the rules

How'd they afford the alcohol if they were broke?

they are broke cause they buy alcohol.

The earlier 90s already had shitty fake pop stars with the likes of Milli Vanilli and such. But I guess this probably did go a long way to making things even worse.

There were manufactured/fake pop groups since at least the 1960s (The Monkees, The Archies, etc.)

Meaningless "pop culture" crap aside, the 1990s overall were a pretty good time to be alive if you lived in North America or Western Europe... although not so much in Eastern Europe (^^;

There were plenty of prior decades - even in the 20th century alone - that were much shittier and tougher to live through for large portions of the Western world than the 1990s!

>>4455

Obviously when people talk about and compare 'decades' they are referring chiefly to that fast-moving cultural period that started in the 1960s. For earlier times than that a 'decade' culture is tenuous or inapplicable. Mainly because few people a live can be said to remember those eras. So when people talk about 'when things got bad' they are talking about a point somewhere in those sixty years. I think it goes without saying that the 1930s was an awful time to live, but how often do you actually hear people talk about the 1930s as a 'decade', aside from vague gesturing at The Great Depression?

Even your own example shows off this post 1960s bias. Why do you say that manufactured pop groups have been around since 'at least the '60s'? Why not earlier, like 'The Teenagers' or 'The Coasters' in the 1950s?

Gossiping about a gossip site! ヽ(´∇`)ノ

ultimately a neutral force honestly

Gossip is sexy. Gossip is good. Not everyone does it, but everyone should.

I'm glad they have brought many LOLcows into the light to be observed
occasionally one may stumble upon a LOLcow in the wild (anyone remember Johnny Neptune?) but most of the time you hear about them from someone else, who ultimately heard about them from kiwifarms.

Probably because Cloudflare can't identify your browser agent or something like that. Heyuri was getting DDOS'd so this should go away soon

Well thirty is the new twenty at this point. Unless you go bald rather quickly I doubt people would think you're 'old'. Either in looks or bearing.

it's true in a sense that age shift, but it's always the older generation that says that 40 is the new 30, or 30 is the new 20. Most of my interest has stayed the same, but so much around me has bloomed too. Turning 30 is so far the hardest hitting number for me.

>>4423
I don't really have anything to say to that. In regards to things 'blooming'. I'm 19 and fairly sheltered. I remember just a few years ago I had these lame fantasies every time my birthday came around. "Yeah, I'm seventeen now, I'll totally get laid this year!"

>>4425
with age i learned to stand up for myself and not taking any shit from others, i also learned how to suck it up and not take things to personal as it really doesn't matter that much. people forget or don't care long enought.

about getting laid... act on it. I myself never cared enought to let it be a bother and that itself is a dangerous thing. in may i do get wizard powers, zooowwwmpp baaawaam! i just let time slip by my fingers, but after all, im a hermit.

anon you already don't have friends, you do not need to worry, death is coming slowly to hug you

this question doesn't make sense

A musical instrument has 2 primary purposes - to lead a piece (usually as a substitute for the human voice), or to provide accompaniment

The best lead instrument would be one with the greatest range of possible expression, while standing out from the accompaniment in terms of pitch and tone. The range and versatility of an electric guitar and synthesizers - particularly their ability to output bright, ear-catching sounds - makes them some of the greatest lead instruments ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

In terms of accompaniment, the best instrument would be one that enhances the lead vocal/instrument the most without conflicting or getting in the way of the lead. The four primary components of music are melody, harmony, bass, and rhythm - since the lead vocal/instrument is typically providing the melody, the best accompanying instrument would be able to offer all 3 of the remaining components by itself, even standing in for the lead to provide the melody at times. That makes instruments like piano, organ, guitar, and polyphonic synthesizers some of the best accompanying instruments ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

piano is such key compoment to so much music, and sounds lovely just by itself too. I play the saxophone tho.

>piano is such key compoment
Surprise pun!

There isn't a "most valuable" or "important" instrument in music, it highly depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. You can do an innumerable amount of things with a piano, but it'll never sound like a trumpet. A good composer knows exactly what specific instruments to use for a specific section, and mostly importantly knows how to "blend" the instruments together so that they all contribute to the song.

That being said, I think what >>4420 said is a good answer to your question. There's a reason why Bass, Drums and Guitar/Keys are a must for pretty much any band. Drums give rhythm, Bass gives bass, Guitar/Keys do the rest (accompaniment, melody, harmony)

cool


im really here to show my true love for the godness of the neko loli picture you found

There was a hueg unannounced and unofficial campaign by a user or 2 back in late December/January, but more recently I only know we've been advertised on 5ch due to 日本語's launch

I'm tempted to bring back 2020-style b&hammering of all 2008+ style posts and Serious Business™ - teh RAEG and teh cryingz will be an sight to behold

>>63334
yes, and you can do nothing about it.

I have advertised 日本語 on a few more places, but not anywhere that could bring 4chan-style posts to /b/. As for one user's advertising campaign, out of all places it was primarily done on /v/, but a lot of them (or at least the rule-breaking ones) were b& at the time. Maybe there is still a passive influx of users from 4chan somehow?

Looking back now, I feel like b&hammers in 2020 were more providing more fun than actually banning bad posters, which was great because we didn't have many bad users to begin with. The situation today may be a bit different... That's why we should approach it with more vigilance. Perhaps by checking other posts of users who make bad posts, evaluating whether they meet a specific quality level for Heyuri, and making the final decision to B& or spare them

Also will 63334-san prove 63335-kun wrong or should I do it in his place?

>Looking back now, I feel like b&hammers in 2020 were more providing more fun than actually banning bad posters
There was a lot of both, but I think the difference is that back then, most of us would just LOL and move on if our post was deleted or a ban message appeared, cuz we were all friends and knew the site was just a place for lighthearted fun and silliness

These days there seems to be 1. more humorless trolls just looking to p00p up a good thing, and 2. more anal retentive users who take The Internet and themselves very seriously

>>63334
A year ago I got a three month ban. I'm no longer banned, and I visit this site once per month.
