I've noticed that most of the people currently using imageboards seem to post not mainly because they have something to say, but because they want people to reply to their thread. Can anyone explain the cultural phenomenon to me?
Personally, I like to post because I found an interesting picture that could make an interesting conversation piece for a thread.

that, sadly, seems to a somewhate antiquated attitude for anon
LOL DURP LOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOOL
HUUUUURRRR HUU HUUUURRRR
SHITFAGS
Seriously, welcome to 7 years ago
That anonymous attention-whoring behavior amuses me greatly.
It bothers me that imageboards are no longer about discussion, but are based strictly on memes. Worst Offenders of that are 7chan and 711chan. For fucks sake, 711chan's FAQ consists of nothing but "Q: Licking on a Cock A:1) U GRIP IT 2) U KISS IT"
Hell 4chan is absolutely horrible, but at least moot keeps the website professional looking. Although he can't prevent /b/ from being retards like they always are, he atleasts makes sure that memes don't interfere with the rest of the site (I'm talking about the front page + faq + rules, etc. not boards)
420chan and iichan are the only imageboards I even visit nowadays. 420chan is a real laid back place, but I hate how they are pretty much trying to capitalize it by putting "taima" bullshit on everything. Taimaba software, Taimapedia, "Taimalabs". It's just stupid. Although I will say 420chan has an awesome userbase, and the people there are more into discussion rather then retarded memes 24/7.
iichan is pretty cool. I love how it has the classic pre-2008 imageboard look to it. An HTML written Frameset, Futaba theme, very simplistic design and it looks cool. Has plenty of interesting boards as well (which most are hosted on other sites), so the userbase is very diverse.. To bad it's barely active.
This is the main reason I hate kusaba/trevorchan. Not because it's written in PHP, but because it seems that since kusaba was the easiest software to install, people just figured they could make whatever retarded chan they wanted. Since basically no effort is put into most kusaba installments a lot of people just joke around with it.
Also: I apologize for typing so much.. I'm on stimulants right now, and I can just type for hours about the same subject without getting bored..

Stimulants are fun.
>>11chan's FAQ consists of nothing but "Q: Licking on a Cock A:1) U GRIP IT 2) U KISS IT"
F A DOUBLE G O T THIS IS BRUCE!
Seriously, 711chan is nothing more than a place for an IRC channel to spam memes.
7chan varies board by board.
Nobody uses iichan. ;~;
420chan is still same as always. Cool place, laid back.
I have noticed the same thing.
Mostly on 4chan, where people post reposts only to get as many replies as they usually do.
4chan's the only image board I still visit regularly. These other boards, they've never really interested me.
I guess even 4chan wouldn't have kept me interested if it wasn't for its high activity that keeps things fresh.
99chan (.in, not .net) is a nice place with people who tend to prefer quality to quantity. Once you get used to the fact that it IS slower than expected AND they like it that way anyhow. I like /fronk/ (ms paint only) and their /calc/ and /money/ though slow, have very knowledgeable people. /ask/ is pretty active (relative) and of course /b/, though you will be banned for posting motivationals or other tired and old "chan" things. Most bans like that are under a day and easily removed if you just ask. Also paisley.css fuckyea
(USER WAS FOUND TO HAVE AUTISM)
I only go to 99chan, because it is a discerning website of men.
99 is my favorite even though it is slow but has great variety, about 95-97% reliable intel and helpful suggestions and if a Mod get targeted, the other mods go with the flow and relieve said targeted mod's ban attacks from when we go after him/her and flame them like Mod ComradePyro or as we like to call him, CP :)
420 is alright except for the Mods and how you cant say anything about them or Admin that doesn't sound like its sparkly and they are sensitive to boot too, apparently canadians still find it offensive to giggle and snicker at their speech impediments and the A.I. NetJester (a really crappy, shoddy kind of clever-bot) they have on the /b/ there is really a dyslexic mess as it is so mimicking and mocking it is a big no-no. As you'd expect from a canadian-run chan: fascism.
7 is shit thru-an-thru, just full of themselves. Every week its blazing seizure flashes and spinning horsecocks like their /b/ is premium material and needs to deter "cancer", pffft!! Oh and Lorf or whoever he is running it had the gall to start a $$drive to acquire a smartphone to run admin duties of 7chan from afar, like he really need another excuse to be even further away from his responsibilities hahaha!
MEGA would be an actually good site if it wasn't so... puritan, thats the main reason too why its so dead there
4 I started out on but only hung out there for about a month till I figured out there were other chans out there years ago so I havent been back there since so eh, no clue...
There's been a bunch of other chans I've checked out but only for a day and they don't catch my attention so I can't remember them.
99chan is shit I don't know what all of your problems are but it's not even going to be up for long anyways since they can't pay the server bill. What the fuck?
