What's the story behind this site?

>>301
New easy place after the fish has gone full rulecuck

>>303
never heard of it

>>301
was sad to see bun die
so i pulled a new nenmin and brought it back
some teens got upset and claimed i was never part of bun (fake news)
invited all my friends including you
now all my friends are here

It means you're too old
>>305
Surreal to see zoomers say people were never on a site that died like three months ago
I'm pretty sure 100% of people who have posted here posted on bun.

every time I post without renaming a file I feel a weight lifting from my soul
name replacement really is a wonderful thing

>>308
I found bun and nen a week before nen died then bun died a week later too
that means I'm /trubun/

where is this from anyway
iirc it wasn't in the old encyclopedia and it wasn't made on freech during the renaissance

>>316
me and the bros made some pills
but this one did get included in the encyclopillia page 63

carbon dating places its creation at early 2016 so i think you may be misremembering

How can we distinguish ourselves from other internet communities and modern otaku culture? I think we should say Keyed instead of b*sed for starters

>>317
Bro I'm fucking saying it wasn't in the original (~p1-58), nor was it in the threads where people were shitting out pills on freech. Someone just posted it in the thread which stuff was getting compiled from with no context.

>carbon dating places its creation at early 2016

Yeah no shit lolk full release wasn't out when the pdf that edit was made from was made.
t. made that edit

>front page says 1st edition

whoops lol never noticed that
that's the second edition
anyway
think I did actually notice that at some point in the future but obviously it's long since whatever
anyway
The pill had to have been made before november 2015 ([before] mid october?) because it was made before freech crashed due to scriptspamming. But either it wasn't posted on freech.net whatsoever or I somehow didn't see it, and crownpiss didn't exist before may that year so clearly the pill was made and presumably used before it was silently posted in the thread.

I hadn't really thought about this before reading through millet soup but if you include reimu then literally all of the cast who move fast (yiggyshiggy notwithstanding) are from EoSD. Everyone is fucking slow in gensokyo.

I can only talk about the old /bun/ part of the story, having been on /bun/ since shortly after its creation. I have no idea where our teenfriends came from, other than 'some altchans I'm not familiar with and probably Discord'.

/jp/ was created in 2008 (slightly before I joined; I joined late 2018) as a split off /a/ because Moot was sick of /a/ being full of Japan-related stuff that wasn't anime or manga. He instituted a strict rule on /a/ that discussion can ONLY be about anime and manga, and forced all miscellaneous Japanese stuff to the newly created /jp/. Early /jp/ was very much in flux, going through several phases of established board culture. This also meant that as board culture evolved, old board culture was being replaced (forcibly, by influx of new posters). Old /bun/ was created by and posted on by (former) /jp/ posters from those earliest board cultures. (The way I see it, /jp/ truly died in 2014 when mods and janitors started enforcing on-topicness, strictly limiting what could be posted on /jp/ and encouraging/enforcing general threads. But that's unrelated to /bun/.)

Old /bun/ had some structural changes (early disagreements on what can be on /general/ and what must be on /photos/, /photos/ growing in scope, the great /general/ wipe turning /photos/ into practically the main board with /general/ barely getting any activity, /projects/ being launched, abandoned and filled with spambots, and eventually breaking), but in terms of board culture and demographic, /bun/ didn't actually change that much from the beginning. It clearly got less active over time so people must have been leaving, and there were some identifiable tourists, but overall it remained remarkably stable despite everything around it changing. What did get lost over time was the spontaneity in thread creation, eventually nearly all activity was concentrated in a handful of fairly broad threads (small thoughts, random quotes, last picture you saved, last thing you fapped to, recommended reading, etc) where discussion about all kinds of things could still pop up. Activity was low but consistent, and moderation was slow but happened eventually. There were occasional spambots posting porn ad threads, sometimes with CP, and while they usually got removed within a day sometimes they remained up for several days.

Somewhere between August 29th, 11:13 UTC and August 30th, 03:14 UTC, the entire site suddenly went down. I went on IRC to tell Aya, the admin, and was told "Well, it looks like Dreamhost got tired of the child porn spam and pulled a plug on the account". The servers were wiped (and all backups were on the servers so those were gone too), and an appeal was rejected because they had a 'zero tolerancy policy' on this. Months passed with nothing to take its place, until on December 25th the admin of new /bun/ decided to revive /bun/. New /bun/ was inactive at first, but it seems the admin decided to invite his friends and that leads us to new /bun/'s current population.

>>308

>I'm pretty sure 100% of people who have posted here posted on bun.

I'm entirely sure this is not the case; the posting style of most posters is very un-/bun/-like. A lot of people also seem to be under the impression that /bun/ is to some degree about Touhou, which was never true for old /bun/, it just happened to have a Touhou theme and everybody was familiar with Touhou (because we all came from old /jp/) but the board subject was essentially 'Japan/General', all the stuff old /jp/ was about. I think a few posters may have posted occasionally on old /bun/ in its later years, but I get the impression I may be the only real '/bun/ refugee' here. I hope I'm wrong, or at least that more old /bun/ posters will find this place.

And for the record, I have no clue what these zoomers are talking about. There's clearly some pre-existing culture here that's entirely unrelated to old /bun/. (I do understand >>318 and >>320, but because of post-/bun/ 4chan (and I continue to insist we don't need textual upvotes and downvotes on imageboards, call me a boomer if you must), and I think I recognize >>319 as a reference to an altchan that's likewise unrelated to /bun/.)

>>325
Ugh, it removed the paragraphs between the newlines making it one big unreadable mess. Here's a non-messed up version: https://privatebin.io/?7016cff80103c4a1#nNECCfj52pdf4t913TafFJhvsV8nkoVouQtp5cgQ73Q (had to use something else than pastebin because it triggered some pastebin word filter, probably because of the phrase 'child porn')

I'll fix the css I promise... as soon as I figure it out.

Apparently it was built into Reimu Red but none of the other stylesheets have it so I guess that's how old bun did it.

I just realized I wrote I joined 'late 2018', I obviously meant late 2008.

>>359
The freudian slip seems closer to the truth considering you apparently weren't on /jp/ before 2013

>>360
If you're referring to me saying /jp/ truly died in 2014, I know things were bad before that as well, and it's highly subjective, but the forced on-topicness removed what I did still enjoy about /jp/. I initially came there for VNs (there wasn't really any other place to discuss them back then, other than IRC and Novelnews's forum), and for a while in 2014 translated VNs as a whole were banned from /jp/ (they were forced to /vg/). They later backtracked and allowed them again, but the damage had been done and ever since then all VN talk has been in general threads, and the board as a whole had become mostly Touhou imagespam. /jp/ before 2014 was full of shitposting, but at least fun was allowed.

>>362
You've said a hundred and one things that show you didn't spend a day on /jp/ before even a newfag like myself had already left. What the fuck does what is banned have to do with what is discussed? Your characterization of early events is grossly distorted and you seemingly had no contact with the actual userbase of /jp/.

>/jp/ before 2014 was full of shitposting, but

wew

>/jp/ before 2014 was full of shitposting, but at least fun was allowed.

It wasn't. The board had devolved into endless generals and rules-breaking shitposting (actual threads) long before then. Some of the generals were alright just because otaku did hang around (in spite of everything) and you can't stop them from talking about their interests. It is radically clear that you were some faggot in some irc who talked to some other fronting faggot and made some shitty tourist posts on a long since dead board. /bun/ wasn't the fucking original /a/ userbase nor is it the people that were quickly picked up by board momentum. I'd imagine the reason most people here didn't post very much on bunbunmaru is because it was basically not /jp/ but you'd be wrong to think that people didn't make posts on this shitty site.

I never posted on jaypee, ota, bun or nen before 2022 desu

>It wasn't. The board had devolved into endless generals and rules-breaking shitposting (actual threads) long before then.

Rules-breaking shitposting - definitely. But I remember there only being a few generals (which we didn't call 'generals' back then): The idol thread, VNTS, the GUST thread and the Denpa thread. Around Comiket most of that discussion was also condensed to one (or two?) series of threads. Umineko also had fairly condensed threads, but they didn't resemble general threads. Maybe there were one or two more (not sure when the onahole threads started), but it definitely didn't have the 'everything is a general or imagedump' climate it got in 2014.

>What the fuck does what is banned have to do with what is discussed?

Why it happened can be a point of discussion (maybe people just moved to /vg/'s /vn/), but prior to translated VNs getting banned from /jp/ we had random threads about VN-related stuff (even if they'd declined since earlier years), and when they were allowed again we had only VNTS, the untranslated VN general, and I think WTC and Type-Moon threads (the latter two may have appeared as generals later, don't recall; there were 'Type-Moon threads' before 2014 as well but they were nothing like generals). Any non-general VN threads barely got any traction, or were even straight-up deleted if it wasn't clear to the janitor that it was VN related.

>/bun/ wasn't the fucking original /a/ userbase nor is it the people that were quickly picked up by board momentum.

/bun/ got its main population from advertising on early /jp/. I don't know how much of the pre-split population remained, but it was the /jp/ I knew.

Why are you so upset, anon? What do I need to do to validate my NEET badge short of deanonymizing myself?

take it easy and be thankful we no longer have to worry about pic related

>>375
Did AoC become a janitor again? I recall him quitting back in 2010. Or is this some epic new meme I'm just not aware of? The image is clearly post-2014 as I only recognize the 'cat look like janny'.

>>377
I thought it was older but unix timestamp says 2016 and I can't find the source...

>>374
Come to think of it, the OC thread was a clear general as well. I don't think they were around from the start, though, but I do have stuff from as early as 2009 I posted there. (Not referring to that image, I only made music.)

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>374
You don't even fucking remember lolicore threads when we're talking about early 2010s /jp/. Surreal. The onahole thread was technically the buyfag thread usually since non-poorfag hobbists (the doll threads in particular) made their own topics, and onaholes discussion was driven by /a/ buyfag refugees. It was also technically against the intended rules but those hadn't been in effect since the 2000s.

>Why it happened can be a point of discussion (maybe people just moved to /vg/'s /vn/), but prior to translated VNs getting banned from /jp/ we had random threads about VN-related stuff (even if they'd declined since earlier years), and when they were allowed again we had only VNTS, the untranslated VN general, and I think WTC and Type-Moon threads (the latter two may have appeared as generals later, don't recall; there were 'Type-Moon threads' before 2014 as well but they were nothing like generals).

You've totally failed to address the question. Nobody, ever, except for tourists who didn't use imageboards fucking at all and were entirely encultured in accountfag whitelist walled gardens payed a single second of attention to what was allowed to be posted when they post. The place people went to straight away, above anything else (since most altchans were either irc circlejerks like bun or just actual topical communities), was fucking archives. Realistically, people just didn't go anywhere and became an increasing minority on an increasingly overmoderated shithole.

>2014

Incredible. The already-dead site had completely given up the ghost with the 2012 elections, <2014 /jp/ was literally nothing but generals and the occasional train or other otaku photography thread that lasted three days or so before some consensus was reached somewhere and it was deleted.

>Why are you so upset, anon?

Everything that makes you upset does not make me upset. I'm in a state of shock because I'm seeing a fucking psychedelic vision and doubting my senses because I don't really understand what you get out arguing this when you know that you're just churning out bullshit. I genuinely want to understand what your motivation is. Are you just so stuck in the habit of saying increasingly retarded shit until you get the last word by default? Are you assuming someone is going to delete any post that calls you out? What does that even do for you anyway? What's the go nigger? Why are you like this?

>I have no idea where our teenfriends came from, other than 'some altchans I'm not familiar with and probably Discord'.

The degree to which you can't even imagine that people might actually use imageboards is just astounding. I'm breathtaken.

>What do I need to do to validate my NEET badge short of deanonymizing myself?

If you could for a single second understand the concept of an anonymous board you'd be able to step away from the conversation and instantly go back to not being a huge glaring attentionwhore posing faggot. I mean you could also win the argument but given that you're asking for advice after well and truly showing that there isn't the barest scrap of validity to your claims I don't see that as a likelihood.

>>382
Fine, you win, I'll just come out and say it: I'm VDZ. I used to be a tripfag as far back as 2008 (though I was a complete newfag back then) which you can confirm via the archives. I made the VNDDL list, am still hosting the FTP, and used to post music in the OC threads. Proof: 0

>

I may not remember everything accurately, but I 100% was there and my statements are true as far as I remember how things were.

>I'm in a state of shock because I'm seeing a fucking psychedelic vision and doubting my senses because I don't really understand what you get out arguing this when you know that you're just churning out bullshit. I genuinely want to understand what your motivation is.

I want to inform the new generation of posters of how things were in hopes of preserving some of old /bun/'s culture, get the historical facts straight (there particularly seemed to be some confusion as to why /bun/ went down), and try to prevent historical revisionism from taking place, which often happens despite there being archives which recorded everything (and /bun/, not having any archive except for web.archive.org, is especially susceptible to revisionism).

If you remember things differently, please post your account of events rather than just denying mine.

Okay, wtf, the board broke my link. http vdzserver org misc for382.txt is the link.

>>383
I really don't win. How am I benefitted by you doubling down on being a gay-ass faggot? You haven't substantiated any of your wild fucking claims so it's not like I'm learning something new or that I'm wrong about something. All you've done is reach for the narrative that you climbed out of some homo's butthole straight into the height of the summer of love and still decided to be a tripfaggot.

>I may not remember everything accurately

You sure as fuck don't. But that's besides the fucking point since the state of /jp/ 2012-2013 hasn't been disputed really in this thread. What's been disputed really is the (~morality of the) fact that you were fine with it: and when nothing changed in 2014 it somehow crossed your threshhold of being exactly the same and just slightly progressively worse like always to being exactly the same and just slightly progressively worse like always. I guess because it wasn't literally identical to the literal day before which is when you first fucking arrived.

>but I 100% was there

I mean, clearly not (lol)

>my statements are true as far as I remember how things were

No shit, your statements are that you liked it one day (well after the board had died) and then the literal next you didn't anymore because a mark on the calendar had changed and nothing else, and that you were a raging faggot that can't go a single thread without posting your socials. All things readily believable.

>I want to inform the new generation of posters of how things were

But they aren't the new generation of posters. All these people were here during bunbunmaru's previous hosting, and if they didn't post much it's likely because they, like me, thought that it was shit. People aren't unaware of how bun was because we fucking saw it. The site went down a few months ago dude. A nigger probably made the usual pilgramage through his list of dead and shitty altchans and saw the site again without ever seeing it down. Plenty of niggers, or will, probably.

>in hopes of preserving some of old /bun/'s culture

Bun's culture isn't being trampled because people are ignorant. It's because it's shit.

>get the historical facts straight

You sure aren't achieving that lol.

>try to prevent historical revisionism from taking place, which often happens despite there being archives which recorded everything

I assumed this was just autism but >>384 implies that you really are this assmad. Why are you so fucking bothered on being called out on paying literally no attention to a site you basically or actually didn't use and had no interest in?

>If you remember things differently, please post your account of events

You mean, like I did? What the fuck are you talking about nigger? Do you want me to recount every event that has occured on the internet in the last 25 years for your viewing pleasure? What the fuck do you mean?

>rather than just denying mine.

Why would I not disagree with you philosophically where I disagree with you philosophically and contradict you factually where I know that you're wrong about historical proceedings? Literally, this didn't happen. What do you want to be spoonfed about now?
