>>4246493Manx left the board when the old captcha system was disabled. He didn't find /bant/ funny or interesting anymore. He drops by once in a while to pretend he's still a part of the board, and in one sense I suppose you could say he is, but he doesn't really participate anymore.
"Insult the country above you" threads have been gone for ages. Instead we have threads targeting countries (Japan hate thread, Israel hate thread, etc.), names (burgers, bongs, frogs, toothpaste, waffles, etc.), memes (Amerimutts, Swedish Fish etc.) and just general insults.
/bant/ doesn't have a set topic or theme, and while there are some board culture staples you're still free to post what you want. We still post Cirno and Duke Nukem, we still obsess over every GET that's 5 or more digits, and people still force a meme or two a month. We have a couple newspapers you could check out to stay updated. The current plague is people doing gay erotic roleplaying on the board, and there's a lot more bait and /b/-/pol/ tier threads than there used to be. It still changes a lot, just a month ago we were leaning more in the direction of [s4s].
I'm not sure what to tell you.
