Jow Forums no longer has a community or identity; greentext and feel threads have become rare and there is almost no original content outside of Wojak edits. We are left with a vacuum, a high school /b/ equivalent, and we must choose what to become. I have a proposal: Jow Forums will be a tripfag board. Everybody who posts here should use a trip. If somebody doesn't use a trip, shame them.
The effects should be rapid and dramatic. Soon, people will have identities attached to their posts. Posters will no longer be able to go into fembot feel threads every day and bitch about how women cannot be robots, as if anybody is unfamiliar with that sentiment, and get away with it. People who post in bad bait threads, spew garbage, and act like retards can be identified, mocked, and filtered.
Additionally, Jow Forums will rapidly become the most reviled board on Jow Forums. Anybody from /v/ or /b/ will come here and think it is the most circle jerking, cancerous pile of shit they've ever seen. And they'll leave, which is a very good thing.
It will be more difficult to be an overly abrasive retard without people being mean to you in turn. The board will generally, in my estimation, be considerably better and more constructive for anybody who posts here regularly or puts in effort.
>go back to red.dit It is ruined by a moronic upvote system. I'm only giving you the opportunity to filter people you hate instead of having to put up with them. Feel free to filter me, if you like, and you won't ever have to read anything I write again.
To post with a tripcode, enter User-Id##Password into the name field of your posts. You may as well try it out for a day to see what it's like.
Fuck off you carrion feeder. Let me weep over this corpse in peace.

It's not a bad idea, but it will never catch on. Why? The entire concept of Jow Forums is based around its anonymity
Owen Smith
You can't not save something that doesn't want to be saved, hero. You ask for them to give up something they're attached to, even if it's mildly trivial. Anonymity is important to them, and because your plan requires them to unanimously relinquish it, your plan is destined to fail.
Your plan, not unlike communism, is good and idealistic in theory, impossible to implement in reality.
Jow Forums is made to host communities, it's not intended to embody anything. The mere existence of the name field suggests that this website wasn't founded on the basis of militant anonymity. Plus, one board full of tripfags wouldn't seriously threaten the identity of the entire site. Mass trip adoption would give a lot of lonely people friends and make Jow Forums less of a redundant, uninteresting shithole.
You may as well try posting with a trip for a day.
You probably couldn't even tell me when this board was overrun.
Blake Ramirez
Wrong, Jow Forums was made to host images. Names aren't necessary for that and would only turn it further towards being yet another normalfag social media website.
Hudson Roberts
Sounds like a pretty good idea desu
Joshua Carter
>Anonymity is important to them Anonymity is important to newfag parrots. If you're savvy you want more people to adopt trips so you can filter particularly annoying people.
I mean you're right that it probably won't happen, but it would be really cool if it did.
>Names aren't necessary for that Neither are words you dumb wordposter. Haven't you ever heard a picture is worth a thousand words? Maybe if you HAD heard that you wouldn't have wasted my time with this RL Stein novel bullshit and you would have just posted a picture expressing how you feel.
By the way this picture expresses how I feel about interacting with you. I'm the blonde girl and you're the dumb bitch lying on the ground lmafo.
go to leddit then, r9k is for original content, which we're not seeing lately, deleting the anonimity would make original discussion rarer than it already is and hinder having different opinions, in the end making it another echo chamber like subleddits
Brody Ramirez
also completely forgot >leddit spacing PFFFFT and you think someone like you is the 4chansavior or some shit like that
Jayden Diaz
Hey fellas, like my new trip?
Adam Sanchez
sure do, what do you think of mine? good huh?
Jackson Green
>deleting the anonimity would make original discussion rarer than it already is and hinder having different opinions I could see some arguments for each of these to some degree, but Jow Forums has almost no value either in diversity of opinion OR in original content. The problem plaguing this board is the
Oh my god okay you're a retard. You are totally fucking retarded and you do not get to talk about anything. Holy shit you are dumb.
"Reddit spacing" is the worst meme that has ever existed. It is the dumbest thing in the world. It tempts misanthropy. For FIFTEEN YEARS people have been double spacing between paragraphs to logically separate ideas. Go as far back in any archive as you like and you will find people double spacing. This is because if your post is longer than three sentences long and you single space you will wind up with a disgusting text block.
You have NEVER realized this. You have never posted something long enough or in depth enough to understand why this double spacing thing is so popular. You have never EVER typed a period in your entire Jow Forums career. You are a fucking IMBECILE. You do not get to look down on anybody. You are a complete moron parroting stupid memes that lower formatting quality and encourage people to make tweet length posts. People like you killed this place.
i think you would've known that leddit, this place going mainstream years ago and many other stuff was what killed this place if you were here for more than a week >worst "meme" that's because it's not a meme user, leddit spacing started to appear at a high rate at the same time the ebin r/greentext started to appear more frequently >disgusting blocks of text just learn to read, no need to double space every single paragraph when they're not different ideas, you're replying to the same thing, therefore it's the same idea, meme arrows also serve to separate ideas and more effectively since you're highlighting what you're replying to instead of some random space that eats up space >you have never posted something long enough or in depth enough if you use leddit spacing so commonly you clearly haven't either, or do you not know about the 2k character limit? >you have never EVER typed a period in your entire Jow Forums career they're unneeded and eat up space, with a reading comprehension above the level of a 4th grader you're able to make out what they're saying easily >tweet length posts that's what you're doing, not me

My little brother plays so much Fortnite that he gets in trouble at school for compulsively doing the dances at innappropriate times. He does the dances at the dinner table, in the car, on the couch watching TV, walking around the house. I keep telling him to stop because he looks like a fucking idiot and my mom just enables it by telling me he's fine and it's not bothering me, even though it is. He's getting in trouble at school, he's turning into a little asshole because he plays it all the time, and my mom enables the whole thing by buying him VBucks.
Jordan Harris
don't get your point that's a pretty cool one senpai
Luke Myers
Dont worry. He'll fit right in with the other fortnite normies and he'll grow up to get laid and have a large social circle. He may look like an autist, but (virtually) anybody under the age of 13 in this society is a fortnite loving autist, so he'll fit right in.
I hate fortnite as much as the next guy, but you have to admit that it's widespread reach over the younger demographic is impressive, if not alarming.
is an ugly, difficult to read text block without clear separation of ideas, which is why people have been double spacing on Jow Forums since before reddit existed.
Kayden Allen
>Posters will no longer be able to go into fembot feel threads every day and bitch about how women cannot be robots, as if anybody is unfamiliar with that sentiment, and get away with it and what is wrong with this? nothing.
Benjamin Ward
eh, not really it wasn't hard to understand, it has pretty good spacing and paragraphing, only people who don't actually care wouldn't read it, the first one didn't even try, but it's still not hard to read at all
Logan Miller
It doesn't look good. Double spacing between paragraphs (if the paragraphs are longer than one line long) just flat out looks better. It's been around since before reddit, and the term "reddit spacing" emerged in the past two or three years as an asinine callout tactic which could be applied to nearly anybody writing enough to do justice to sophisticated ideas. It's the worst meme I know of and you should be ashamed of using it.

Owen Baker
You're obviously . You aren't very smart and I'm just not going to spend ten minutes typing up a reply that goes over every little sentence in this post. You're an angry person and your anger is coloring all your criticism, basically all of which is just equivalating something I say with something you don't like in some really uncharitable way.
Now here's your reddit spacing. Stop replying to me. Go ahead and filter me, it would do me good.
Posting here can just feel exhausting. So many angry dumbasses bringing up the same shit over and over again.
Cameron Mitchell
I mean you're right but Jow Forums requires text because people spammed too much copypasta. Nice image by the way, street fighter alpha is good shit.
Nicholas Phillips

why did you think i wasn't user, didn't try to hide it, just wanted to reply to every point you made >i won't reply to every little sentence well clearly your leddit echo chamber-wanting personality is showing >flaming a thread keeps it alive do you know what a sage is? or are you too new?
Caleb Green
>do you know what a sage is? or are you too new? When you flame threads people reply to you. Also, a lot of people post whining about threads they hate seemingly don't know what sage is, or they're disingenuous and trying to start flame wars to keep the thread alive.
In 2015 or so the best way to keep a thread at the top of the catalog was to post a roulette in it, whereupon dozens of morons would reply to that post and your thread was almost guaranteed to make the bump limit. That was after all the Pepe loving reddit newfags came but before Christopher Harper Mercer forced the mods to pay attention to this board.
Caleb Adams
>roulette that's not for Jow Forums user, that's more of a /b/ thing, the robot makes roulettes hard to do. also a discussion thread isn't a roulette or 8ball thread, you don't keep them up the same way
Leo Richardson
You haven't been here for more than three years. Shit like desuarchive.org/r9k/thread/27208844/#27211645 used to be all over the place, it was why so many awful threads would top the catalog.
Jack Collins
The whole appeal to the Chan is it's anonymity. The thought of having a name linked to me causes me anxiety and that's why i have no presence on any social media platform at all.

Joshua Green
If people do that then you get to pick which sort of posts you want to read. If you only like 2cool2care shitposting, you could filter the other stuff, if you hate fembots, you could filter that one, etc.
When more people have trips you have more control over the content you see. That is almost only a good thing.
Dylan Martinez
it literally is not a good thing because the only thing it'll do is turn this shithole into reddit and we'll soon have legions of betas or underages circlejerking over someone popular
the point of Jow Forums is to stay as far away from this mentality as possible, because the posts are what's important, not whoever is posting nobody gives a fuck who you are in real life (or even on the internet) you're literally nothing but yet another anonymous poster, what is important is whether or not your post is high quality
now you can kindly fuck off from my site
Brandon Gutierrez
yes that's what i mean you can't compare a roulette on r9k to a discussion
Andrew Gonzalez
>and we'll soon have legions of betas or underages circlejerking over someone popular And you won't have to see any of it if you don't want to.
>what is important is whether or not your post is high quality There is virtually no reward for effortposting. You get more attention being an asshole. Jow Forums in particular is extremely low quality, acting like we really have much of anything over reddit is laughable.
>now you can kindly fuck off from my site I've been on image boards since 2013. That's not the longest time by any stretch, but I would bet that it's much longer than most people on Jow Forums. In my experience the people who wave the banner of anonymity are the newfags who still mythicize Jow Forums. If you stay here very long at all you will get jaded with Jow Forums. This website isn't special, it's just a shitty timewaster that's popular because it's addicting.
I post with a trip because it means there is a small chance I can get something out of this. I could make an internet friend here, I can find my posts easier if I'm curious about one later, I can receive feedback on what sort of person I am. Those are all minor things, but without them this is even more of a complete waste of my time.
Most people here would be better off if they were posting with trips and building relationships with one another. Posting would be more intimidating, but more people would get more out of it. The posts themselves aren't valuable (in fact most are pretty awful), the people are.
You can have a discussion despite roulette spam. If you just hide the roulette then all replies to it also get hidden.
I'm going to try it out for a bit. You've convinced me.
Matthew Edwards
Yea we tripfagn nao
Ian Jackson
It probably won't matter unless you become really notorious, but if you add two hashes to your tripcode (## instead of #) your trip will be much more secure. I'd recommend doing because why not
but i already define myself by not using apostrophes or periods and ending every sentence with a comma!,
William Miller
Okay, thank you for the tip. I don't really want to be known as much as I don't want to attack anons and be a big meanie anymore. I see the logic behind putting something on the line and making me think twice about what I write.

I'm tempted to do it OP, partly for the reasons you listed I mean shit am I the only one mad whenever he sees "my gf this my gf that" threads reach bump limit 3 times consecutively in a matter of hours? Is Jow Forums actually a middle-high school board full of zoomers whose only thoughts are pussy and gfs? If so then I'm all for killing this board for once, let's kill it with dignity.
But I'm also deadly afraid of criticism, though it could help me in the long run but I don't want to become an insufferable faggot like so many nametripfaggots. One thing I envy is how easy they seem to make friends, all these tripfaggots seem to know each other all around the web.
His dysphoria is a byproduct of being an extreme sexual degenerate, not quite the same as actual gender dysphoria faggots. It's a mere fetish for him.
>clique shit I'm afraid what will happen is clique shit growing exponentially before people start shitting on it, cancer will then leak into other boards and reddit. I don't know, might backfire spectacularly. Look at discord.
Actually scrath that, fuck you OP. The risk-reward tradeoff is absurd. Say your plan works and we "win", weeee Jow Forums got saved, but if we "lose" Jow Forums as a whole becomes even worse, worse than fucking reddit.
