Hey guys, I made this topic earlier in /b/ and would like to know what you guys think:

It's a vicious cycle. Everyone's calling the people acting like newfags newfags. So we're calling those people newfags. Eventually people will be calling us newfags as the hierarchy of meme'dom progresses.

And you know, that's sadly the trend of most of /b/. People spend too much time bitching about regurgitated memes and who's new, yet still don't do anything to create their own content. When other people do, they're suddenly newfags because /b/ "died on some certain date" according to some fag site like ED.

So in essence, creative minds who attempt original content are held back by the true newfags.

Here's where I'm going with this. I want an absolutely serious discussion about /b/. "It's sooo terrible," yet you keep coming back. So what do you want? Don't you realize it's up to you, the poster, to mold this?

So I ask you. what would YOU, as nothing more than an Anonymous poster with a contribution, do to make your experience better?

Serious discussion please, so try to ignore the flames.

It had a lot of response, which surprised me. If you want my opinion, I think more emphasis on the text boards and actually ENFORCING the under 18 rule (in the applicable boards) would be an amazing step in the right direction. Perhaps even a 'General' imageboard. As a poster I can not do this, obviously, so it's simply a quiet hope.

Feel free to offer your own thoughts, as I believe the text boards are a great medium for this type of discussion.

I kind of hate how /b/ has become now.. too many trolls. Yesterday I made this thread with a sort of long rant I made on the spot. And it got called copypasta by at least 10 people.. it pissed me off, because I had just wrote the damn thing. I'm 100% sure those dumb newfags had not seen that text before, yet they still called it a copypasta and called me a troll for ranting..
The point is, it's like they think everything is a repost of a repost, etc. even when it's brand new content.. why are they in that mentality? There's bound to be new content sooner or later, or the board would simply die from unoriginality. They sure as hell are not contributing by making new content of their own...

I'm going to come to the text boards more now. It would be nice to have more traffic in them, but I also like that it's not so crowded here.. That's how you can have more serious discussions without all the trolls and newfags following along and spamming it to hell. The text boards are seriously underrated and forgotten.
