      ban all twitter or other social media screencaps, ban all live action.
      Done, saved Cinemaphile

      That is the point. Nothing changes except its slower and same shit but on ink.

      being slower would be an enormous improvement. It means less shitposting and more time for actual discussion. It means good threads stay up for longer because they are not drowned in a sea of shit and anons have more time to reply to them.

                And? That side of the board was never not shit. Why do you think a cartoon got its own board? Why do you think so much cartoon shit is relegated to /trash/?

        Its slow for a time. Otherwise all the cartoon shit that gets spread can easily apply to the board because 95% of it has a comic counter part. For example Rick and Morty has well over 100 issues and several stand alone arcs in comics alone. Sonic is pretty much its own universe and better for it compared to its game self.

        But skipping past that, you've just now replaced peridot spamming threads for Super Girl/Raven/take your pic and the speed will pick up again.

      Just discuss them. If you’re a shill it’s obvious. But if you’re being genuine in your belief just ignore shit posts and dissent. Only focus on tru engagement.

      But you have to realize “discussion” isn’t just positive. If you’re talking about big 2 comics most people think they’re written by bums and, worse, spiteful mean-spirited people.

      >>non stop why the big two are shit
      They send shills here to storytime. I told the idiots running the 2 week late Lotus Land issue 1 storytime this and they acted like they’d never read one of the plethora of marketing studies that shows piracy/free samples works.

        How do we increase comics discussion?

        The problem is we only read 3 books Spider-Man, X-Men and when DC deems it worthy to print one, Batgirl. The storytime threads of anything else get zero replies. No one on Cinemaphile collects comics seriously and that's like 75% of the fandom that actually spends money.
        Not enough casual interest or overly autistic bros like Cinemaphile to maintain a board our autists only care about who Spider-Man is fricking andbtrying to make Legion of Super Heroes and Captain Marvel, either of them, a thing.

      First off you made that same thread like 3 or 4 times within a week back in December/January with that same grid and at least one of them had N’Nya more replies.

      Secondly, those comics aren’t going to generate much discussion. They appeal to a small set of people from Portland or Seattle. They’re not popular, most people haven’t read them and so if you don’t storytime them most people have nothing to add. Congrats, you like hipster comics. In reality you made that grid imagining it would impress anyone in the world and what you actually wanted was validation.

      I’m sure even on Reddit you’d get a few token “yeah I like them too” replies because despite them wanting to be hipsters they know damn well none of that is worth reading. Those are comics made for a ComicsBeat write up, a few token likes on social media and nothing else.

      >But you have to realize “discussion” isn’t just positive.

      People here are incapable of talking about stuff in positive light. And no, hype threads aren’t genuine discussions done in a positive way, it’s vapid OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG posting

      I actually think this is a bog problem but probably for different reasons. In the modern landscape if you dislike something youre always hit with “what’s so BAD about it! Explain otherwise you’re shitposting” so those people are forced to examine their feelings and do, in fact, come up with things which will inevitably be called nitpicks. Meanwhile if someone likes something there is no challenge, as if they passed the test already by liking a thing like a good little consumer. So “positive” discussion becomes a circle jerk of “it’s good” “yeah I agree, so good” “yeah… good times.”

        I hadn't made one of those threads since late November of last year until that one, though I have posted the chart in other threads.
        I usually start the OP with a general image of denoting a year or decade in comics (pic related, which I pull from Google Images). I expect a lot more cape/Image readers, since they are the most common type of comic reader here, but they hardly post.
        As far as my tastes, I'm not much of a hipster. It's just the nature of the beast that the only recent comics I tend to finish are European or smaller press. My 00s and previous decade charts are full of capes.

        because good threads take time, but low efforts shitposts can be spammed non-stop

        I try to babysit my threads, but they usually die once I fall asleep.

    >How do we increase comics discussion?
    Ban posters for spamming lots of threads about the same comic/cartoon at once. The reduction in shills and unmedicated adhd autists will do the board a world of good. The number of threads per day will go down, and that will let some actual discussion happen.

      A plethora of capes, forgotten indies/creator-owned, Euro comics with translations trickling in, comic strips, and webcomics.

    I feel like most people wait around for things to be posted (like an EvW thread or a comic they don't like) so they can attack it, but they'll never partake in a positive discussion or make threads themeselves.

      This. People should be more willing to make a new thread about a thing to attack it.

      It's pretty telling that nothing is created and promoted today that general audiences--who haven't actually changed that much compared to, say, 30 years ago-- actually agree on and like. Perhaps "diversity" in an attempt to capture a disinterested market was a bad idea and we should go back to making things the existing audience actually wants.
