Which is smarter, 2ch or 4ch? (88)

1 Name: Anonymous : 2007-04-04 23:11 ID:Y3F1hjKm

I do hope 2ch isn't as stupid as 4ch tends to be. It seems the percentage of stable, comprehensive, non-juvenile posts is ever on the decline. Am I wrong?

If 2ch isn't as moronic as we are, what's their secret? Is it because they're Japanese, or because 2ch is more mainstream, or well-established?

2 Name: Anonymous : 2007-04-05 00:42 ID:5fvvPjm7

some boards on 2ch are more mature. probably because they're older.

Yeah, I'm posting less and less. I'm sorry. :(

Do the people at 2ch have a better track record with regards to not feeding trolls?

Really, the only problem with 4ch is that people keep replying to shitty posts.

Mind you, it's probably the trolls and 12 year olds just replying to each other. =(

2-ch is much more mainstream and has many adults in it while here, majority of posters are internet superheroes who are growing up and some kids who managed to get here, but over the past year the number of posts that are worth the read is decreasing. i mean what we have here is usually 20ish, mostly anti-social or weird in some way.

If anything, it's a case of the unsavory characters, or spam retching trolls, putting off the people with the serious intention to post discussions.

Nobody likes being ridiculed even if they remain anonymous.

/politics/ hoped to be 2ch instead of to prevent invaded by 4chan or 7chan.
Even if Squeeks (first prime minister) opposed it.(He was killed 2ch terrorist, that's why from this idea).
So he was assassinated.
This problem was made 4-ch /news/ at first, this thread is controlled by 2ch (VIPPER).
(Most media have been controlled by 2ch.)
These medias forcibly broadcast what seems all 4-ch must like and respect to Korean criminal, Korean comfort woman,
Korean prostitute ...anything about incoherent racism every day in 4-ch.
If you are thread starter strongly recommend about [Do not hire VIPPER in your thread]
Your thread may occupied and controlled by 2ch like in /politics/.
And please understand about 4-ch is not going to radical nationalist.
We dislike only 2ch, 2chan, news4vip(not all)behavior. There is many problem with them in /politics/,
but 4-ch moderator always hide away their problems.
For example,
When intelligent discussion was killed in thread about Korea, At first 4-ch moderator dose not movie.
At that time, everybody think about it must be done by VIPPER, but nobody say anything.

I think 4-ch is probably offputting to many because of its heavy focus on Japanese culture and Japan in general. Of course, it's derived from a Japanese concept, so naturally it attracts people interested in Japan, but the kind of mainstream audience that's the western equivalent of 2channel's userbase would probably look at it and think "oh, it's an otaku board".

There's a board for anime and manga, but nothing for non-Japanese animation and comics. Over half of the threads in the music board are about Japanese music.

I think having a connection with 2ch and the Japanese users can be valuable for 4-ch (except the vippers trolling about korea everywhere) but on the other hand, it could definitely benefit from more western users who aren't obsessed with Japanese pop culture.

14 Name: 13 : 2007-04-10 01:52 ID:RLTAO4qg

Actually to say "more western users" is a bit too specific of me. not just western, but English speaking.

15 Name: Anonymous : 2007-04-10 07:12 ID:utdTk+6c

Anonymous BBS-en (is there a proper plural for that?) work best with a very large userbase. This is because the incentive to visit the BBS must derive entirely from thread quality, not the sort of "I'm going to see my friends" feeling that named BBSs can rely on.

Unlike 2ch, 4-ch can't really utilize a vacuum of internet communities; most western users already frequent some moderate-size BBS. And until boards stop having a thread turnover so slow that some boards still contain threads last updated in 2005, there isn't enough content being generated to attract people who aren't just interested in Anonymous BBSs in general.

In my opinion, I'd say 4-ch is smarter as it does some minimal moderation. Both 2ch and 4ch have their fair share of juvenile posts and posters. 2ch remains as moronic as 4ch. 4ch remains as insightful as 2ch. Since there are far more posters to 2ch, the threads do seem be "more intense" than they do here in 4ch, probably because of the turnover rate of the threads. In the less populated 2ch style boards that are not part of 2ch, I'd say the ratio of great to mediocre to bad posts are lower than 4ch as they are often hit by spam (at least the BBSs that I visit) and people seem to be idiotic for some reason.

The question should be which is dumber.

34 Name: Anonymous : 2007-04-19 14:14 ID:eLDvCmwr

I guess several people discover 4ch after 4chan, because of the name, or they discover BBS and want to see what other ones there is. That's my case. 4ch is the bigger discussion (not images) one I found, and moves a little (unlike some image boards that are never posted on). So I came back.
The thing is there's a tendancy to post stupidities just because that's like this on 4chan. As soon as you think of something, anything, you post it before the thread disappears or someone else posts it ("in b4"). When people get here and see some idiotic posts, even a few, they'll think you can do it here too.

As for the japanese side, it's true that 4ch is very much oriented towards this, and seriously. See the "japanese culture and tradition" thread in AA. That's why I'm coming less, because I'm not really into this and don't know much.

/b/ seems to be getting less instant turnover. I see a lot of threads with replies in the hundreds. Granted, many of them are one person using directory dump and many suck, but that's beside the point. Threads take longer to disappear now.

2ch has a much larger user base, and thus a higher number of people who make an effort to keep intelligent discussion alive. There are a number of stupid posts, but there are also enough smart posts to make up for it and push the stupid posts off the board. This doesn't work as well on 4ch, where there aren't enough good posts to make the bad ones drop off the board.

I visit /food/ once a week scouting for cooking ideas, the other boards maybe once a month. tl;dr: If I wanted to observe /b/tardisms I can and do go to /b/. /DQN/ was another place I used to frequent, but I stopped due to no real reason. I should start hanging out there again, it used to be like /b/ only more awesome and a lot less failure of the not good kind.

Personally, I think 4-ch has a quite nice signal-noise-ratio, when compared to other internet forums. 2-ch, I don't know. I do not know japanese, but frankly, I think that if there is a perceptible difference in post quality, it's only because there are so many posts on 2-ch. You're bound to end up with some good posts.

>>83
Like what? The only posts that really ever get deleted are posts that blatantly violate the rules (Which mostly means they're illegal under aussie law), are in the wrong board, are outright spam ("Hey check out my web site blah blah blah"), or are by a known spammer / troll. (Yes, even if said troll makes perfectly okay posts, with perfectly valid points. Some people are just KOS by now, because everything else would be absurd amounts of work for moderators.)

Also, at least if a post if removed, you can see that there used to be a post here and now there isn't. That's more than close to any forum does.

This thread has been closed. You cannot post in this thread any longer.
