/pol/ in indispensable

what the fuck

Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums were fine. Veeky Forums was a mistake.

/pol/ had historical, philosophical and theological discussions before Veeky Forums existed and is a main reason why Veeky Forums got created, because many people on /pol/ demanded a board that wouldn't be littered by current events. The best debate I ever had on the New Testament exegesis was on /pol/ in like 2013, while religion threads tend to collapse into shitposting circlejerks on this board.

everytime ive looked at that board it's just
>muh women are degenerate
>muh x race is cuck
>muh trump tweet

Well, I'm sorry you discovered Veeky Forums during this election cycle.

ive been here since 2006, i just didnt frequent /pol/. i used to post on Veeky Forums

also i was specifically referring to contemporary /pol/

Cuck meme only started out in 2014 so it's obvious you haven't been on Veeky Forums for very long.

Veeky Forums used to be my the go to board for bladed weapons threads

why do you think i dont know that???

>I was only pretending

pretending what? i dont get it

Pretending that /pol/ was always about calling people cucks when it's a pretty fucking recent phenomenon.

i told you i was referring to contemporary /pol/, this thread is about boards you currently browse not boards you browsed in the past, otherwise i would have mentioned Veeky Forums in the op...but i didnt since ive hardly browsed that board since fucking brownbear threads was a thing

ok not entirely true i did come back to Veeky Forums for a little while when constantine was around since her dostoevsky threads were good

you are in a anonymous website, you don't get internet points by knowing what a cuck is or not, so why make all this fuss

Reddit

/pol/

Hey, why don't you go back to L*ddit then?

>BUT /r/AskHistorians is very good
Unironically this. You can accuse them of having a leftist bias, but they actually source their information, not with en.wikipedia.org and history.com, but actual scholarly books and journals.

Veeky Forums, /k/ and Veeky Forums
and sometimes I also browse Veeky Forums, no homo

/int/ and /pol/

so you guys literally only browse 4chins

For discussion? Yes, because I quite like my free speech and anonymity

>discussion
what about just browsing

If i want to know about x i just google it senpai

Nope.

>Veeky Forums
>free speech
Pic

what else do u browse family

Infinity

try discussing national socialism, fascism, race realism or any remotely edgy subject on a normie approved site and see what happens

You can literally get banned on Veeky Forums for calling someone a kike.

yeah but that's name calling
If you'd get banned for trying to discuss jewish influence thorough history that would be something else

You can literally get banned ever for that as long as some faggot reports you. I guess not on /pol/ but every other board is free game, mods will just abuse Global Rule 3 which itself is completely obsolete and if enforced properly it would mean 90% of Veeky Forums content should be bannable.

Bullshit
Ive called and used kikes numerous time and didnt get repercussion

It depends whether you are reported. I've gotten warnings for light things but seen blatant spamming go unchecked.

It's amazes me how there is ACTUAL discussion on Veeky Forums. Don't know how they do it.

All threads on /pol/ are circle jerks. If anyone breaks the circle jerking routine they are saged or banned.

/a/, /m/, /k/, /jp/, Veeky Forums.

The rule is pretty useful for getting rid of off topic racist posts. Call it obsolete if you want but when /pol/ seeps into every board and claims /pol/ is Veeky Forums that rule is useful for getting more on topic posts pushed up or getting rid of the posters.

/co/, /mlp/, a couple threads on Veeky Forums. Sometimes I try to browse /asp/ but god damn most of /asp/ is retarded.

I posted on 8ch Veeky Forums long before 4ch Veeky Forums was created. I kinda moved from there here, it was a dead board already back then and i'd imagine it's even more dead now.

i also browse /int/ and Veeky Forums.

>i want mods to ban people i disagree with because i'm a big whiny baby

Literally said I want people who derail threads to be banned and not just people I disagree with but Ok.

Veeky Forums, back in the late 2000s, used to be my go-to spot on Veeky Forums just because the userbase had a lot of knowledge on just about every subject, and back then moderation was pretty lax, leading to the slogan "Veeky Forums - you don't even need the other boards anymore." Lots of historical events and humanities were discussed how they would relate to one's campaign or how events might go down when you change a couple of things.

Eventually, a new moderation group stepped in and started to cull a lot of the off-topic discussion. This had the beneficial effect of removing a multitude of "elf girl, wat do" threads, monstergirl porn was moved to /d/, but it also killed off a lot of historical, political, and religious discussion as well. A side effect of those purges also meant a lot of the more wild homebrew that Veeky Forums was fond of developing, along with storytelling, also went with the off-topic threads, most often being killed because it strayed too near taboo topics. This slowed the board down to an absolute crawl for a while, and then the quest threads started appearing.

Quest threads eventually became so numerous that Veeky Forums was entirely overrun by them. Upwards of 50-60% of the board, at any given time, became a slew of "choose your own adventure" or quest threads. Discussion began to congregate into general threads in effort to consolidate board space and prevent slower threads from falling off the board, leading to a reduction in discussion since most interesting questions were buried within general threads instead of showing up on the front page and later the board index.

Veeky Forums's creation sort of brought back some of the discussion, but in a less fanciful and more aggressive way.

Pretty sure /pol/ was /new/ back then. I went a few times around 2009 but it seemed like mostly porn.
