The /v/gas bombed spectacularly. It seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. /v/ is collapsing onto itself. Soon we will be left with nothing but a black hole.

Dawn of the First Day
It was a day like any other. Dubs, traps, and babyfur filled the board. For the past few months /v/ had been raging about Reddit for some fucking reason, and had convinced themselves that Reddit was responsible for everything wrong with /v/. Lately this paranoia and hatred had been rising, due to suspicions that Reddit had voted in the /v/idya game awards. There had been several websites reporting on the /v/gas for some fucking reason, causing /v/ much butthurt. Overall it was a pretty normal day. No one could have predicted what was to come.
Dawn of the Second Day
The day of the much hyped /v/gas had arrived, and nobody gave a shit. There were no threads made in anticipation, and it seemed like nobody on /v/ was even aware of them. That is until a sticky was made, advertising the /v/gas. It's post count numbered in the thousands. When the fated moment arrived, there were over 13,000 people watching the /v/gas. The chat and the threads were filled with memespamming the likes of which had not been seen since the Days of Zelda Williams. And so it was that the /v/gas revealed, in front of 13,000 people, the dark, twisted, perverse truth about /v/, a truth hidden under so many layers of self-denial that its revelation would cause butt devastation so raw and unfiltered that, for a while, even the traps and the dragon dildos went ignored. The secret:
/v/ has terrible taste in video games.
Dawn of the Third Day
Chaos. Grand Strategy Generals were singled out and spammed, for some reason, early in the morning. The song of the conqueror Sanic filled /v/ and many trolls spammed :stopmusic: throughout the board. A thread with :stopmusic: as the OP was stickied and was filled with thousands upon thousands of posts repeating that phrase. /b/ (apparently) went through something similar as well, which resulted in the board being frozen, and all of them flocking to /v/. The shit storm was so great that it broke the very fabric of /v/ itself, and the number of pages went from 15 to the hundreds. No thread could be deleted. The stubborn /v/irgins took shelter in a couple of vidya related threads, to wait out the storm. Eventually the mods made another sticky saying /v/ is like Reddit or something, I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be. This is the current state of /v/.

Wait,so the /v/ga caused this?
Goddammit,i encouraged the guy to make this.I....I didn't know that /v/ doing something would cause a cataclysm of this magnitude.
I guess we should adopt a zero tolerance policy and ignore anyone who exhibits any sign of......well,cancer for lack of a better term.
I guess we should also keep this whole text board business to ourselves,this last bastion of hope may yet be able to hold out a while longer.
I'm still confused as to why they are acting so insane though,their taste or lack of it in videogames has never affected them before.At least in never appeared to have any effect other than some arguments.
It seems to me more like there has been a sudden influx of those not from this board,and as of yesterday,a large portion appears to be from /b/,judging by the threads they made,which by comparison to the threads that /b/ usually makes,matched the pattern.
There also appear to have been some reddit users,although i do lack any information as to the amount

yeah,albeit it's rare
It gets a lot more active whenever /v/ goes to shit,or whenever the imageboard goes down
So what do you guys think about the new board? Do you think it will help in the long run, or if it was just a bad idea?
I personally like it so far, it seems that both /v/ and /vg/ are better than /v/ was before the split. People on both boards are not tolerating trolling, though I don't know how long this will last. It seems the two boards have a pretty bad rivalry going though, every time someone tries to troll one board they just link them to the other. A decent amount of posts on both boards seem to suggest that they look down on the other, but I'm pretty sure that these people are in the minority. I think most people are browsing both boards. I hope this rivalry doesn't get out of hand though.

>I'm very depressed
Its supposed to be /vg/, sure.
But people are going to always take the path of least resistance. At least this way we have actual videogame discussion on /v/. As somebody who doesn't use the catalogue because I don't like looking for specific things to talk about and want discussion thrust upon me, I have noticed the change quite a lot.
>rivalry between boards
This is a good thing, and keeps things in check. We could use some more elitism back in this place, remember you can always ignore it if it is specifically directed at you. Lets hope it lasts.
>>36
Me too. I guess most people are just more interested in posting funny images than actually discussing video games. I've tried to get people to come here more often, but it seems like this will always just be the place people shit up whenever /v/ is down.

The stupid thing is, they aren't even very well-made "funny images". I think the shitfest that was 2008 /v/ had the last bastion of quality OC.
After that, people became content to just slap the same unfunny image macros on every picture they see. At -most- you have poorly-done edits where they put some noteworthy face from or associated with their game on multiple images(League of Legends and Tribes:Ascend, for example).

So this is it, huh. This is what the end looks like. Funny. I didn't expect it so soon. I guess no one did, though.
There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't lose courage. Muster your jimmies, and don't lose heart. We shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life. Above all else, have faith. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves. Bans are not for eternity. And now, a prayer - or rather, a piece of advice: let there be comradeship among you. We are all /v/irgins, and we are all suffering the same fate. The same smoke floats over all our heads. Help one another. It is the only way to survive.

Of course they're full of shit. They just come over from /b/ after seeing that "/b/ was never good" picture that floats around and they think the same applies to /v/. /v/ has been getting progressively worse for years.
I, for one, am enjoying the shit out of the civil war that's going on right now. It's nice to see people getting so butthurt about getting banned for the retarded shit they post. Hopefully the mods don't get tired and give up like they always do.

So what do we do?
Hide on /games/?
Endure it and go on /v/?
Escape to /vg/?
Or run away from videogame boards in general?

It isn't so bad here, underneath it all. Sure, it might take hours for people to respond to a post, but it isn't any worse than a popular forum. Especially, when you think about it... We have all the comforts of a forum without the mod cocksucking.

Depends on what you want? There's some good threads on /vg/, a lot of the more popular video games threads have moved over there so I'm sure there's something there to interest you. /v/ is fine as long as you don't post pizza, feel threads and whatnot. The mods have been cracking down on off-topic and they don't seem to be getting tired, which I, at least, am personally thankful for. /games/ is alright too. It's much slower but not being able to post images filters out a lot of the retards that post on the image boards.
I personally browse all three, along with /sp/ when I want some pretty funny off-topic stuff. I usually find something funny on /sp/ even though I know nothing about sports and have no interest in them.

The whole fun of 4chan for me was the fact that you could have an online discussion with people with interesting views,not correspondence by mail.It's not quite the same without the insane speed >>56
Yeah,/v/ has been purged of the off-topic threads,so it looks like its good now./vg/ is good if you're really involved in a game,but if you're not,you don't really have anything to do there
Ah well,i guess this board is a backup if shit hits the fan on the other boards or /b/ enters.
I doubt they would have the brains to come here

True, but have you seen the speed of /vg/? That's what /games/ ''would'' have had if Moot hadn't decided to make /vg/ and instead enforced existing rules. Of course, then he'd ''also'' have to enforce it for /anime/, and god forbid he have to do a little bit of extra work.

They just stay on /v/ and generals are never openly announced
/games/ will never be busy while staying itself

It's weird because it was only people on the AA thread that got banned. Not sure why the mod decided to single us out when there was porn all over the other threads.
I don't even know what we're allowed to post on /v/ anymore. For the past few days mods have been really strict about keeping off-topic threads out, and today there's pizza, dubs, piccolo dick, and a jimmies sticky.
