Why did they ban Borneo?

They didn't, she's looking after her puppy.

I want the mods to permaban everyone who posts that ugly shitface known as jack.

i want you to eat my shit

I'm not really that into cooking so I mostly just wander onto here from time to time when I get tired of my home boards (mostly /classical/ and /d2g/ but I frequent /v/, Veeky Forums, and Veeky Forums) and I've gotta say that Veeky Forums is pretty fucking great as is.

I feel like the average age is either higher or people likely to frequent a board about cooking are more mature/self-sufficient and less autistic in general but there's a minimal amount of off topic weebshit, waifuposting, avatarfagging, and image macros as well as /pol/posting compared to the rest of the site. Big plus. The advice and recommendations are usually solid from my experience especially if you're looking to get into something new, and in general the subject of the board is appealing enough to just about anyone that it can maintain an engaging spread of thread topics at all times. Even the shitposts are usually funny like that food comedy thread a while back with that guy that designed an oreo themed standup routine. There's some pretty skilled chefs that post from time to time and the cook-alongs are nice for someone like me that has no idea what they're doing in the kitchen.

The stuff I don't care for like Joey/Jack and the webm threads I can still see the... appeal of so they don't particularly bother me. It's just a really relaxing board to browse and it can be awfully funny at times (although that may just be my poor sleeping habits since everything is funnier at 4am.)

tl;dr less Jack, more Patti! This place is alright and so are you, user.

I've been on Veeky Forums since 2008 or 2009 but the last year or so has been long breaks intermittent with periods of activity. When I have been on Veeky Forums in the last couple months, it's been /gif/ or /out/ and rarely Veeky Forums.

I'm busy and the reward for browsing Veeky Forums is declining. I find the overall posts to be boring; quality troll and entertaining threads are few and far between. YouTube threads forcing personalities are lame too.

tldr; another Veeky Forums fag complaining about how the board used to be better.

i miss gordonposter
best threads are lets get dickered and McChicken threads.
worst type of threat is anti british cuisine bait made by assmad clappysharts being faggots
/ck needs no improvement

They should disable webms, they bring nothing of value and waste bandwidth.

The Veeky Forums challenge (read: circlejerk) and all the posters there need to be permabanned.

i fucking hate that stupid faggot cat

I've been on Veeky Forums for two years, I swear over the last year it's turned to shit. I actually used to learn useful cooking advice from this board, but I don't think I've learnt anything useful here in over a year now. I'm starting to see the same rehashed threads over and over and for some reason this board is being raided by vegans with about 5 vegan-related threads at any one time. It's at the point where maybe one in ten threads is even worth opening, and on a slow board like Veeky Forums that means that you can't really spend more than an hour here every few days.

>about 5 vegan-related threads at any one time

There aren't any right now though

Yeah, you're right, but there are two vegetarian threads in the catalogue. I haven't been to Veeky Forums in a few weeks because it's getting shit, but there used to be at least two vegan food threads and multiple threads on the morality of veganism at any one time. Thank god it's stopped.

Veeky Forums is good but losing a lot of its old users and memes.

Literally the only thing I hate about it are the vegan posters who act like niggers and take everything personally. If you so much as post "Vegans are cool but I do not enjoy the idea of being Vegan" you'll get an angry malnourished faggot posting a copypasta's worth of text to make himself feel better.

Jack posting is what makes Veeky Forums.

Too much race-baiting. Got old fast.

>YouTube 'celebrities'

Users like you are the problem.

Over the past two years Veeky Forums experienced a huge influx of new users, who almost exclusively browse Veeky Forums on their phones, and for some reason think that their left-wing viewpoints belong on this site. These users will commonly be found shilling veganism or telling people to go back to /pol/.

>being this new

All of NYC should be rangebanned. They refuse to discuss actual food and insist whatever shitpile of food they get is the best because "NYC baby!" and have so thoroughly deluded themselves into thinking their rathole city is actually worth living in if you're not a millionaire.

>/ck
You don't belong here, newfriend

Moderation is SJW trash that allow WAY TOO MANY non-food related/political threads to thrive, for days.

HIROSHIM00T SAVE US!!!

All catposters should be banned.

>being this butthurt about the outcome of the Civil War.

LOL.

Veeky Forums needs more crab posting

All of the UK should be rangebanned. They refused to discuss actual food and insist on limiting any and all posts to "do americans really do this?" because they're so assblasted that their one claim to fame is a toast sandwich.

Don't lump anyone who doesn't like racebaiting with liberal shitposting and vegan shilling. Old jokes are boring, deal with it, and I 100% guarantee I've been here longer than you have. Posting from my phone right now.

Pic related is why they hate us.

I've been here for 7 years, my friend.

Veeky Forums has always been contrarian. The right has the floor at the moment, so we've shifted left. Deal with it, faggot. And btw, --------> /pol/

So I was correct.

Im pretty new here to Veeky Forums, mostly coming from /k/ and /diy/.

I came here hoping to learn a bit more about cooking, but uh... it looks like all you guys do is shitpost

What did you expect? We do get ocassional quality threads, but they usually get drowned out by mcchicken posts.

We also discuss fast food and alcohol.

>it looks like all you guys do is shitpost
Where exactly do you think you are?

You Americans shitpost more than the bongs.

M00t said shitposting is almost purely Australian in nature.

That was years ago.

Any board with flags will illustrate the magnitude of their shitposting. Fucking lads have a monopoly. Don't think there is a single board free of that nightmare.

Reminder that Aussies are the master race.

>masterrace
>$20 Maccas meal

>we should ban cooking

Jack and that filthy dollar mongoloid are pure shit, plus that useless fat fuck who posts pictures of his food with that mlp doll need to be permabanned

Wtf, I love Australians now.

Mild shitposting and trolling is fine but it's started to have a much nastier edge recently.
Hard to explain but there's definitely a much darker undertone to this board, more so than even /pol/.

Veeky Forums has become the worst board that I visit. The community is comparatively small, but contains a proportionately high amount of shit/memeposters. Even if I stop coming here for a month or two and I come back, I can immediately tell what memes sprouted up in the time I was gone because they will be infecting every thread.

You sure you're not just a faggot?

>the right has the floor
na
the left still runs the cultural apparatus
small example
there is no right-wing equivalent to stephen colbert + bill maher + john stewart on TV
right-wing media is largely confined to the ghetto of AM talk radio.

Mods please take note of this

>filthy dollar mongoloid are pure shit, plus that useless fat fuck who posts pictures of his food with that mlp doll need to be permabanned
agreed with these, but jack can stay cause his webbums make me laugh

>but jack can stay cause his webbums make me laugh
You're literally retarded

To be fair, left wingers are propped up by their fanbases that feed off hipster uniformity and right wingers are boring as fuck. Milo was a cool faggot, but he played with that edge too long.

BTW, am I the only one who thinks Veeky Forums is on a bit of an upswing? This and /diy/ are becoming my home boards after years of semi regular visiting.

Ground yourself, flyover. I hate NYers too, but even a dog deserves table scraps.

You presume a lot about him based only on the fact that he finds race-baiting distasteful. And who doesn't at this point? It's been a pest in every board for like 3 years, it's irritating and serves no purpose. Saying nothing of my own leanings, I truly think Veeky Forums's userbase is mainly left-leaning.

>ghetto of AM talk radio

And guess what? You don't have any late night edgy rightwing comedy shows because their audience would be 60+ years old and in bed by 9:00PM. Also, the advertisers targeting the rightwing audience could never afford the rates charged by major networks during peak late night comedy hours. Have you ever listened to the mind numbing AM bombast? Look at who advertises there and tell me those small time conmen could afford network rates.

>Veeky Forums's userbase is mainly left-leaning.
That would explain all the underaged users

Fast food and memebaiters need to go die.
/pol/ needs to go back.
Meta threads are not allowed.

Chinkymoot said one meta thread per board is allowed at a time.

Veeky Forums needs flags and IDs more than /pol/ does.
Fucking permanent IDs so the faggots posting the same tired "Do Americans/Euros/Other Really" bullshit can be filtered like the trash they are.
Other than that, disable webms, consider youtube links spam, and harshly ban forced meme attempts.

You sound like a man who wants this thread to get JACKED

We should try and encourage more female posters.

>favourite posters

Tripfags need to fucking kill themselves.

The only people that should be identifiable are people that make threads common enough to be recognized, like cat cook-along guy.

>permanent IDs
>All that other shit
Gaia seems a little more your speed.

OBESESSED

do americans really make posts like this

No one cares what you hate.

Every board is getting brigaded by people who are too shitty to get attention in /pol/.

Racism isn't a political idealogy you insecure man child. Keep your ego-boosting garbage threads on /pol/ where they belong.

Because racist bullshit conspiracy theorists have been relegated to the garbage media where they belong.

Most people aren't down with your idiotic racist cry-babyism, it's not a partisan thing it's just you being an immature douchebag.

It does serve no purpose, especially on a fucking cooking board. It's already stupid for these idiots to insist they get to have a voice, no one wants to hear them cry about how unfair their lives are by shitting on entire groups of people they probably don't even know personally.

t. niggers

Veeky Forums is interesting to me largely because food is apolitical. and its not really controversial in the normal sense.

so what people talk about is pure opinion. also the artistry involved in cuisine is pretty amazing at times.

i agree with you. too many nufags. your post should not have gotten that many self righteous replies. race baiting goes both ways though, a bit too many /pol/ threads everywhere. i hate niggers but i dont need threads about it on a cooking board

Casual racism has always been a core part of Veeky Forums culture, quit whining and leave if you don't like it.

except you, satan

it's a board about food on 4 Chan

just turn your brain off man

>brain
brane*
cant believe i still have to correct autists like you. get a clu moran

kek

mcchicken and jack threads are...i don't want to say that they're killing this board, but they make it so much less appealing. a "fast food general" sticky or regular thread would vastly improve this board.

the best threads are the actual OC ones — the anons who take the time to cook and bake stuff and show their process. sometimes it turns out well, some times it doesn't. but they learn from it, because the nice thing about this board is that there are people who actually give constructive criticism. i started baking bread a few weeks ago, and the tips i've gotten here have been supportive and informative.

plus, occasionally we're blessed with things like sleepytime chicken threads.

yeah and look who won, andcontinues to win that that fight

I think one YouTube/e-celeb/Joey containment thread should be allowed. Maybe one fast food containment thread too.

>tfw Australia is trying to ban "quick loading assault leverguns"
No ty

Funny, because ive been under the distinct impression that this place is the second tumblrest board

You lost a war to emus, LOL.

>you guys need to GROW UP and stop saying nigger, its fucking 2017.

You really are the problem. Please go back?

>What's good
Chef/housemate/etc. story threads, al/ck/, turning reviewbrah into a national socialist, anyone with a cat, the occasional hoarder posting pics, food autism in the style of the soda bread guy, laughing at the horrific shit other boards come up with.

>what's bad
Yumposting, veganposting, turning reviewbrah into a national socialist, tipping wars, calling anyone who likes white coffee a hipster and black coffee a sperg, dogpiling onto ebin maymays like goza or quinky sauce.

>Improvements
An interboard cooking contest? I'd bet on Veeky Forums or /out/.

Reviewbrah is dead m8, and the dream died with him.

I like Veeky Forums because there's always someone willing to actually help you when you need it.

I'm kind of trying to gather those people all in one place. Veeky Forums discord, anyone?
discord.gg/q34jj

I like the mlp guy, y'all hate on him but he posts oc and doesn't give a shit

It should be fine to keep all jack-posting to one thread, like a jack general.
Also allowed in food gore threads for obvious reasons.

I don't have any complaints really. Veeky Forums has high quality memes and there's still decent cooking threads. The only thing that can ruin threads is that you guys fall for trolling entirely too easily, as bad as facebook/youtube commenters. Sometimes people post the most obvious bait (e.g. do americans really eat this?) and some of you guys just get entirely too flustered and buttangry about it.

Though oftentimes that stuff makes me laugh quite often, and jack memes just fucking kill me. All and all this is still one of the best boards.
