>>28722499I understand anon, I really do. Comfy threads are what really got me to start posting on 4chan in general, even though I've been lurking on this site since before /vp/ existed. And honestly, underneath all of the stupid petty squabbles and everything else that goes on here, I've found that people here are generally and honestly good people.
In one of the "ITT: We live in the Pokemon World" threads from last night someone spoilerposted their concerns and grief over the impending loss of a pet (you're still in my thoughts, anon) and people came out of the woodwork to console them, all the while continuing to keep to the thread theme off-spoiler. It was just really good to see people being human like that. We might be a containment board, but I'm honestly not ashamed to say that I'm from /vp/.
And even if we're anons, I'm still happy to have met most of the people I've met here. There's a comforting familiarity to anonymous messageboards that you just can't get anywhere else: the Familiar Faceless of 4chan. The people you meet, but don't, the general vibe of each community here, it's a special thing unique to this environment. And even though it's wrapped in a prickly, ugly wrapper, underneath the fighting and bitching everything else, there's some really good discussion to be had here, and good people to meet.
Sometimes I wish I could keep in touch with some of the people I've met here, but I'm also not stupid enough to post contact info on a website that also contains /b/. We're still 4chan at the end of the day!If we do go down -- well, we have the comfy forum as an option, but I know it's just really not the same. I hope it doesn't come to that -- expect the worst, hope for the best, and you should arrive somewhere comfortably in the middle.
And for now, we have this. And I'm grateful for it.
