You fags whine and complain about every little thing, from KoG getting 5s to somebody discussing One Piece. If you kids would leave your bubble for one second, you would realize just how GOOD you have it on /a/.
Gaia Ebaum's World YTMND deviantArt Reddit
If you would actually GO to these places, you would fully understand why we all hate them so much. Yes it's true, I go to all five of the above. I was on EW and Gaia before I even heard about 4chan. Once I came to 4chan, I was shocked at how critical its members were and how lax the moderation was. You can actually DISCUSS ANIME on this board. If you try to do anything a moderator doesn't like on EW, it doesn't even matter if you have a valid point or not. Their bans don't JUST ban your IP, but they also install a cookie in your browser AND in your computer's memory. That means every time you wanted to avoid a ban, you'd have to refresh your IP, clear your cookies, and delete the hidden file in your computer's hidden folder, which is not always that easy to find since the location is often switched and sometimes put in multiple places.
I am grateful that I have /a/. Through all the trolling, off-topic threads (like this, lol), ___ generals, pork gayger, SHiN waifu threads, Big 3, and every other cancerous piece of filth, this board is STILL the best place on the Internet to discuss anime.
