It happens from time to time, some lose interest, some don't know what to post for various reasons, some new kids discover and spam and so on. I stopped replying because threads are either not interesting or low quality. That's why keeping userbase small is essential - quality posts are rewarded for site and users that learn new things.
>>9547 You don't know what you're talking about. Big userbase on imageboard implies low quality with spammers, edgy kids, normies and idiots. It's better to have 10 autists that will keep site up than 100 normies playing "you laugh you lose".
>>9551 I remember /his/ and /lit/ being shit only in the end when the boards were dying in agony. They were just a little bit narcistic, but it was lit and his, so..
>>9551 You don't know what you're talking about. Moderation and proxy blocking on imageboards means less CP to scare off normies while still allowing saying "nigger", which leads to turbonormies such as /pol/ shitting up every thread. It's better to have mature moderation that only filters out bot posts and whatever they're forced to filter out at gunpoint.
It's because hapase spammed her hapa supremacy crap all over pigchan and now torposting is impossible without JS and cookies. That drove all the privacy-conscious Tor users over here selectively, which is why PPD numbers have consistently been over 100 for the past few days. Brilliant plan tbqh. I wish I were that devious.
>>9659 That's heavily retarded, normies can't even find this place, you need more moderation to make the newfags understand they can't shit up the board.
Normals/normies are a real class of people that live in a media induced captive metal state. They make up the majority of people, so yeah, they are "normal". Why do you think the NPC meme struck a chord?
>>9677 That's an awfully broad class of people, probably including both of us, depending on the perspective.
Terms that vague should not be used in a "somewhat serious" discussion. Like, to a degree, imageboard autists and reddit-or-whatever normies are the same in that sense, yet they want to make a distinction. Whatever, just don't throw buzzwords around.
>>9672 There have been a few waves of pigchanners, this recent one was more of a forced migration. The only /tech/ channers still there are stupid cucks that willingly accept downgrading their level of anonymity or ones that go through the effort to route through an additional hop using a separate VPN. Why someone would do that to be in the company of forementioned cucks and Redditors, is beyond my understanding. Take into consideration that the site is likely being closely watched by glowniggers after the NZ incident and you have to be a level 87 retard to still be there.
>>9678 Those terms are usually directed at mainstream culture, not sub-cultures. Nowadays, corporate culture decides what's "normal" and blasts it out on what they own, which is just about everything.
>>9662 >>9678 >>9686 The word normie is not even in the english dictionary so don't come here as if you have some kind of academic knowledge about it.
>That's an awfully broad class of people, probably including both of us
I don't know about you but i'm as far as a normal person as you can go(and i don't mean that in a completely positive way), this is a common misconception but being normal is not decided in a democratic way, normal is not necessarily defined by the qualities of the majority of people but is instead a default state, everybody(unless you suffer for mental illnesses) is born normal and usually(but not necessarily) stays normal.
Becoming abnormal is something that happens through experiences or external manipulation, for example lurking IMs for a long period of time will make you more abnormal, normal people, or normies, or normalfags, are not even on the Tor network to begin with, why would they? remember a normie is someone that is content with the default way of doing things, and in the context of information sharing this is something like Instagram on the internet, for sure not nanochan on the darknet.
If you found this place you're abnormal to some degree, accept it fren.
I think that we should worry more about malicious abnormal actors than normals.
>>9694 Truth be told normie, at least for me, is a really subjective word. It is a powerful insult for imageboard user that can be used to literally everyone who doesn't agree with you. Definition would be
>normie - typical person with typical interest behaving like everyone; conformist
but take into account weebs, programmers, autists, name it. These people can also be normies, have you never seen normal weeb? There is distinction between "anon" weeb and "normie" weeb.
If you ever seen me, you would call me normie because (I think) I'm not pickable from the crowd. I look and behave like typical norman. But I like to post here using Tor.
Tor can be used by normie, let's be honest, but most of the time it's just temporary experience, playing with darkmarkets and so on.
Pedo using Tor can be normie - here, resembling "anon" but in reality normal as fuck person.
That said, comparing to people my age, I'm "anon, but here I might be "normie".
I think with one thing we can agree - someone who can't into GNU/Linux, Tor, encryption is normie.
>>9678 Here buddy I've done research and most of the of symptoms so we never have to ask this question again.
Do you have one or more of these symptoms? You may be a normie! >i bet you're fun at parties
>literally unable to reason about anything what so ever further than "us vs them"
>literally unable to concede the sky is blue because it would violate their narrative (e.g Christians who argue vehemently against evolution because it supposedely contradicts their religion)
>watching a CP is a crime!
>Tor is for pedos!
>if you think looking at a photo of a 17 year old girl is a crime, that means you're one of them!
>if you disagree that a 25 year old female teacher having sex with a student is Sexual Assault, you are a pedo, why else would you care?
>but having sex with a 16 year old in general is fine

>gets mad at neighbour for not mowing lawn or leaving the trash cans out after the garbage man emptied it
>watches porn of 4/10 women getting fucked by 2 men
>is a /pol/ but faps to women who aren't even white (literally under 10 models in porn are actually white, and those few have a tiny bit of Native American or Mongol blood which also would disqualify them from /pol/)
>watches a porn because it has a normie buzzword such as "selfie", "chill"
>buys a new smart phone or Apple device or shiny plastic vehicle with an engine programmed in JavaScript because it was in a porn, movie, music video, Bollywood video (Indians are normies too) or Saber Rebai music video (Arabs are normies too)

>cares about some specific atrocities or war or conflict in a few specific countries such as Iran and DPRK despite hundreds of millions of murders around the rest of the world in last decades

>could not fire a gun at a terrorist preoccupied shooting and tracking 15 other different targets, because it's literally impossible because a guy on reddit posted some statistics backing that up

protip: imageboards have been flooded with normies since 2007 or so
>>if you think looking at a photo of a 17 year old girl is a crime, that means you're one of them!
should be:

>>9757 That's funny that you think i'm the guy that called me a shithead.
I'm >>9694 and that still stands as my opinion, you're normal if you did not become abnormal.
>>9694 >>9727 These posts make this conversation a lot more meaningful, like, unironically.
Thanks.
>>9738 >Do you have one or more of these symptoms? You may be a normie!
>You may be a normie!
Yeah, great observations there buddy. Now fuck off. But you are always welcome to come again.
>>9765 >accusing other of being reddit normies while behaving exactly like a reddit normie
are you aware you are on an anonymous imageboard? you don't ask for the identity of anons if there are no IDs newfag
>>9767 yeah sure is great to fill out 10 captchas per post
>just chain a proxy at the end of Tor so everything you post can be linked to a single identity XDDD
it's part and parcel of a modern anonymous network. destruction takes no effort whatsoever compared to replacing broken windows. ebin chaos agents' real-world endgame is niggers without running water, or even wells. bunch of petulant chuunibyou-fags with zippos.
Where did nanochan get advertised recently?
I saw a steep decrease in quality starting halfway through this month.
