Have you done your daily gatekeeping yet...

companies do that. a community trying to do that with the companies doing a run around them will make it impossible. face it. you're at the mercy of the corporate whores and they're at the mercy of the political DEI whores.

Why are right wing memes always *huge wall of text*

This.

How is this right wing?

The supreme irony to this image and how much Anon Babble spams it is that, currently, this is happening to Anon Babble.

Stage 1

Anon Babble exists, and it is split into Daytime and Nighttime Anon Babble (2003-2006).

Stage 2

Chanology occurs and with it some Anon Babbletards infest Anon Babble to escape the serious business crowd. (2007-2013)

Stage 3

Gamergate occurs and the site experiences mass floods of people coming in and getting out. This is where Anon Babble hits a terminal point and Bleach threads go from being fun cultural milestones and transition into garbage.
All of the people showing up also crosspost on Anon Babble (2014-2015).

Stage 4

Anon Babbletards who flooded out during Gamergate return alongside another flood of newfags for the 2016 election. (2016-2018)

Stage 5

Severe lockdowns cause people to become obsessively online, resulting in Anon Babble crossposters quickly outnumbering Anon Babble natives. This aligns with /dbs/, /opg/, /aot/, and the flood of storytimes, most of these still overtaking the board (2020-2022).

Stage 6

Anon Babble is mostly devoid of actual natives. Outside a scant few generals, the vast majority of the board is low quality, low effort postings designed specifically to ragebait. Nothing genuine is ever posted, and the slowly dying board is now just a Anon Babble colony, all the native posters having died off or abandoned the board completely. (2023-Now)

Stage 7

At some point in the future, a pepe or basedjak OP will be posted to Anon Babble and not get deleted before hitting Page 10. This will be the true sign of Anon Babble's death.

I alone should be allowed to decide who can enjoy my hobbies because I am literally the most important person ever.

Anyway this is a me thread now, talk about me.

as if this whole site hasn't eroded with culture war troons and normalfags.

Overall, Anon Babble hasn't changed even one iota in the past 20 years.

wordswordswordswords

Can’t meme.

Let me sum this thread up for you.

Me me me, me me me me me, me me me me me, me me, me me me me me me me, me me me, me me me me me, me me me, me me me me me me, me me me.

the OC has died out pretty hard
most of the drawfags and creative types scuttled over to general-generals instead of being a sitewide sort of thing
Anon Babble-Anon Babble unity for kornheiser was the tits and i miss it

dumb fucking phoneposter

has a shit take

lol

It's not a meme, ifaggot

You can't gatekeep thousands of people out, don't be fucking stupid.

always rember

Just kill them all. If they want to live, they should just be meeeeeeeeeee. I'm the only person who deserves to exist. Because I'm meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

confucius is a self-centered prick with circular logic

yeah yeah that's fine, just fucking stay out okay.

what?

every time

Anon Babble is dead

posting the edit

Good. Retarded people need lobotomies, not a safespace. Moot is a normie. Anime is for normies. Anon Babble is for normies.

they feel the only way to keep the game alive is to casualize it

Self made problem. If the game was alive with two players then it's alive with four extra players who don't really care about the mechanics. Terrible comic, back to the drawing board.

oh, ok

see garbage off topic thread on Anon Babble

report it

nothing happens

spam it to hell and back

get banned

how do I gatekeep again?

Ungatekept the gatekeeping picture so alphoomers can enjoy it too.

Fixing the fix

If you're going on Anon Babble this late in the game and getting mad about offtopic threads, you deserve to get banned.

This is everything wrong with Anon Babble. Something we've posted for years about the degradation of a hobby being immediately inverted by some shitposting insufferable fag who gets off on making things worse.

Meanwhile in real life

not the part where it's a fucking mobilefag thumbnail

I've been here for 17 years and my tolerance for this shit is dropping each year. Shit I used to get slightly annoyed at now makes me genuinely furious, probably because there is so fucking much of it now.

that's the shit cherry on top of the poop sundae

You'll survive.

If gatekeeping worked, wouldn’t we be spared from you?

it's funny, this is almost exactly what happened to monster hunter when world came out and made the game fun by reducing the tedious aspects of it (in spite of world's own flaws)

hobby was autistic and unoriginal

but I totally want to be a part of it and you should let me in

Sour grapes.

I made the gatekeeping picture even more streamlined and accessible.

hobby disappears

Funny how so many hobbies were insular for decades until recently.

you are truly a victim. this means you don't have to work on self improvement because someone else is holding you down. Your behavior is justified and everyone else is wrong but you.

Because those hobbies opened to a bigger public, changed for the better by ignoring gatekeeper retard.

Something we've posted for years about the degradation of a hobby

We? The hivemind we!?!?!? No one cares about a bitter jaded contrarian crying for years cause you ruined your own life

Anon Babble has always been the cancer newfag. See This board IS the femoid and the dudebro.

What gatekeeping is for non-retards:

new guy joins

"hey ya you can tag along here's how the hobby goes"

learns how to partake in the hobby

gets really good at partaking in the hobby and becomes experienced after years and years

can now properly identify something wrong, come up with a potential solution, and can properly argue why the solution should be put in place without resorting to just screwing everyone over or making everyone hate him

spirit of the hobby is maintained while simulatenously being improved

everyone benefits

What gatekeeping is for faggot retards who got gatekept:

new guy joins

"hey ya you can tag along here's how-"

"UMMM THIS IS PROBLEMATIC AND SUCKS AND HERES WHY MY WAY IS BETTER"

refuses to learn anything aside from the bare minimum to pretend like they're an expert

spends most of their time whining about the "culture" rather than actually partaking in the hobby, does not grow at all

can't explain why something is an issue

can't come up with a solution that is remotely feasible

cannot charismatically convince people- just explains why the original fans should be removed

tries to drastically change the hobby without any understanding of it whatsoever

"you are a faggot and you need to leave"

"NOOOOOOO THIS IS GATEKEE-ACK!!!!"

Anon Babble is still leagues ahead of Anon Babble in terms of quality

if Anon Babble was the same, half the board would be threads about ecelebs reviewing anime and the other half would be spam about low quality popular garbage designed purely to piss people off, imagine 50 Naruto threads with titles like

Why is this the best anime ever bros?

Stage 4 is missing the fact that the amount of newfags who came over with the election eclipsed even the amount from GG.

Reminder 4/5ths of current Anon Babble traffic is post 2016 newfags.

Reminder that "gatekeeping" in 2025 is just keeping LGBT woke faggots (especially trannies) out of your hobbies since they are notorious for worming their way into community administration and then either destroying the community or kicking anyone who isn't a faggot out.

Anon Babble is still leagues ahead of Anon Babble in terms of quality

It really isn't.
Here's a look at the first page of Anon Babble right now:

Yuri Gundam general

Naruto Daily (general)

One Piece general (irrelevant time wasting question to cover up the fact that the threads are almost entirely shitposting)

"What do we think of X"

Yuribait general

Another storytime

Recc thread

"What's your opinion on X"

One Piece Daily (general)

Yuribait general

It's just as cancerous.
Retard.
It was a mix of people flooding in from reddit, but a lot of it was people leaving 8ch to come back here.

fappening

gamergate

moot leaving

politard activist takeover

average anon hitting their early to mid 20s (majority of schizophrenics start being skitzo at this age)

Also missed the literal diaperfetish art on the first page, advertising a general that exists solely to shitpost in.
Been up for four hours.

And all those threads, while poopy, are still on topic and not explicitly ragebait, just about crappy shows, and combined they are less than half of the board. Meanwhile on Anon Babble you are lucky if there are 5 threads that are on topic, not about whatever AAA trash is currently stinking up the toilet and not zero effort "boomers thought (beloved older game) wasn't dogshit lmao" ragebait.

Look at this thread alone. The shittiest threads on Anon Babble aren't as full of vitriolic trash as this one.

umm look it's all anime it's just as bad as Anon Babble!!

ok

I am still posting >tranime in every thread with off topic tranime images

reminder that the hack revealed the mods despise /dbs/ but leave it up because otherwise the third worlders that infest it shit up the entire site

it's literally a containment thread

are still on topic

Most of them aren't, and the few that are are literal spam (storytimes/dailies).
A Anon Babble thread has been up for 7 hours.

storytimes

literal spam

You don't belong here. Storytimes are the best threads on every respective board.

this entire site was ruined by insufficient gatekeeping in 2015

storytimes are pretty much overdone and too common nowadays (still good though) but how the fuck are dailies spam
fuck twittershit though i agree on that

You aren't allowed to gatekeep here. The mods deliberately leave up garbage threads while nuking on topic ones and ban you if you attempt to self police the place by spamming the off topic garbage.

Everyone already knew about those posts in /j/ because they were from 5 years ago.
/dbs/ hasn't been anywhere near as active for almost two years. All it would take to get rid of it at this point would be to just go through a ban wave for everything offtopic in the thread (which is everything in the thread) and then ban /dbs/ on sight for being a general, and it'd die fairly quickly. The hack proved the threads are carried by the same 10 or so posters.
Storytimes on Anon Babble went from an occasional thing, maybe two manga would get one a year, to a constant spam. 10% of the board at any given time is someone dumping a manga, and most of them are for things that would take months, it's just endless spam.
They're all the same shit.

the trump movement actively started evangelising this website as a way to convert people to their political movement, the community went from exclusionary by nature into actively trying to recruit people here

try to gatekeep

get banned for "being an asshole" to newbies

But I'm trying to protect our community...

10% of the board being manga dumps is a good thing, I always appreciate dumps. Hell it should be 80% of them.

10% of the board being unending spam where the only result is maybe 5 people posting in the thread or the thread being filled with /dbs/ tier spam is a 'good thing'

You're the cancer btw.

I've noticed this too especially 6, I try to ask about shit in their "discussion" threads is it good is it worth reading what are some key points etc but the whole threads is just niggers waifufagging posting about how cute xyz character is and not a hint of discussion about any of the actual reading material

That's a good thread.

literal eceleb ragebait thread that has been up for 17 hours

"That's a good thread."

also the culture on Anon Babble is unrecognisable, the big threads used to be 95% anons with annoying avatarfag cliques but now there's nothing but avatarfags there. some of them are just people ERPing

i can talk about three videogames on Anon Babble while i cannot on Anon Babble because they

die out instantly

have an insane schizo that only shits on them on Anon Babble seriously what the fuck

are derailed instantly because it had some sort of gay drama semi-related to it at some point that fags will bring up every time and shit up the thread with

get bombarded by a failed janny that doesn't like them being on Anon Babble for some mentally ill reason

bb-but /gig/ and /xivg/!!

don't care

Everyone ITT bitching about the quality of this board is 100% the problem of this board and should just leave.

I don't know man. This feels more like someone not doing their fucking job at jannying a website.

let me guess, it's some dogshit game you shouldn't be playing in the first place?

ugggghhhh!!!!! I want to talk about MY game but people are instead discussing THEIR game. This board sucks!!!!

it's some dogshit game you shouldn't be playing in the first place?

Pretty much this, these disingenuous Elin shill niggers are trying to pretend like they should be able to "discuss" their pedo game on this board.
Thankfully we're not fully cucked like altchans and the janitors actually acted against the obvious shill campaign of the indie jap menace trying to peddle their obviously botted EA shit here, but for every correct decision there's like 50 others that slip past the radar for some reason.

the board that couldn't gatekeep non English speakers and newfags out talking about gatekeeping

LOL

/gig/

/xivg/

So you play shit games, no wonder.

how in the fuck did you come to that conclusion

The only people who shit on gatekeeping, and they're surprisingly numerous in this thread, are people who don't have a hobby they care about enough.

Anon Babble are the ones being gatekept out

Anon Babble IS the one being gatekept
whenever someone makes a thread about social gaming/multiplayer/discord/forums it's always full of fags crying about getting kicked out and crying about it
this is the endpoint for retards who were gatekept from literally everywhere else

I wish I could gatekeep Anon Babble. Pic 3 and 4 are poltards. 5 and 6 are post-covid.

Gatekeeping doesn't exist. We're shitting on the hubris of people like you who think you can moderate how everyone behaves like some sort of dictator. I have more hobbies than you and have been here longer than you.

janny cumslurper

still seething and wishing he could do it for free too

the board will only be healed when you and everyone like you dies at the same time

This but you and other pedophiles

YESSSS SEETHE AND CRY ABOUT IT, NOT YOUR SITE ANY MORE

cry about it

You aren't allowed to discuss Elin anymore because I am bigger and stronger than you and said so. Cry about it.

sorry shartyfag but my love for the jannies is unbreakable

What does EA have left after losing FIFA license?

WAAAAAAA GOO GOO GAA GAA MOMMY CHANGE MY DIAPER

Ok, and?

Videogames are easy to get media, even if you gatekeep, another community can be made and overtake the old. It happens everywhere, even here, especially when one doesn't even need to make an account to post shit

immediately assuming I was the same guy he replied to

Says about everything.

lol ur a faget

Games like Space Station 13 can withstand a wave of newbies because of how much of a learning process it requires. But after a while furries do outnumber the OG base, and that's it.

I'm not me

Ok, but we're going to hold you accountable for things the other person said because you stood in defense of them. Pretty simple stuff.

What's the point in defending the recent EA mass layoff because Titanfall extraction shooter was a good idea to begin with? Bad things don't make good thing right.

You gatekeep media by making it unattractive to others. Start by saying nigger a lot in public spaces and then continue with threats to others. Firebombing buildings should do the trick.

Exadv1 was always an autistic furry so if anything it was the normies that originally outnumbered the OG furry base.

DEGREDATION
