This place is surprisingly young. I always thought more obscure *chans would be populated with only the most hardened of oldfags, but I guess nothing is really obscure on the internet anymore.
No.3091
>>3089Actually, many oldfags left the site around 2015, so what you're seeing now is mostly a collection of new users, which on the other hand are rather young due to the nature of our board (yn and related games, etc).
Well, at least that's my guess, there was an age thread in /ot/ somewhere in 2012 and I remember most people was around 18 or <20, back then…
No.3092
>>3091I noticed that most of the few "oldfag" and the sorta cynic, average day in dead boards attitude died in late 2016.
I myself made quite a few recent threads about re-exploring the old to spice up dicussion when it seemed uboachan was dead, to look back on things that eventually formed the core of this board but are no longer talked about.
It seems around Feb-March some new people started to come in here (mostly to post in /hikki/, which i don't see a problem with, but it seems uboachan is now rather centered around /hikki/), probably from lain/RandomInternetPlace.com/tumblr (lain got wiped for a while so some people gone refugee mode here, see that cyberpunk general, and tumblr is full of people praising YN for being "an artistic masterpiece", and i'm sure theres a lot of people that are somewhat depressed and use tumblr) , and i don't really know what is it that's causing this, are people looking UT wiki and finding that Gaster ripped off Uboa?
Anyways, the recent surge in activity is interesting.
Maybe some random dudebro from YT made a video about Yume Nikki that got decent views or something and people looked YN up and reached this place.
No.3093
>>3092Well, /hikki/ is, very ironically, what is killing and keeping ubuu alive at the same time, in my opinion. I mean, Yume Nikki & FG discussion is stale as fuck; and for a good reason, the trend is almost completely dead. Interesting enough, recently there has been more activity there (as you've mentioned), but it's still not the most important center of discussion in this place, as it used to be. That role has been delegated to /hikki/, which is some sort of blogging board, thus placing the main point of our imageboard on something along the lines of the so-called "neet culture", which from my point of view is very stupid.
While I don't really expect a new spark of activity in /yn/ or /fg/ anymore, I wish /og/ was more active, I loved the pandora's box it used to be some years ago, when people would go there and post some rare jewels, and it's sill a board with a lot of potential.
Now, I know I proposed a why to the reason of there being many young people in this place, but I'm also be interested in knowing exactly what were the factors making newcomers discover uboachan. Lainchan sounds very plausible, although I have my doubts about tumblr; most of the site that knows about us despises and spreads bullshit about us being some sort of "bully site".
>Maybe some random dudebro from YT made a video about Yume Nikki that got decent views or something and people looked YN up and reached this place.No, please no, anything but that…

No.3094
>>3093>NEET cultureI legit wonder how many users here are actually NEET, not me though, I work and study.
No.3095
>>3093I proposed tumblr because i really don't have ANY idea how people are finding this site aside from lainchan.
Some people even found Yume Nikki and by proxy ubuu by TVTropes.
Maybe 8chan or something else? I don't really have anything to confirm it, but for example, that /r/place thread where a guy screenshot'd Mado, mostly everyone was just bitching about reddit or "leddit" which implies they come from some *chan sites. I don't really recall having anything against Reddit, the Yume Nikki subreddit is kinda nice for lurking, albeit deader than ubuu.
Most mega-oldfags that witnessed the 2kki & .flow hypetrains should be in their late 20's - mid 30's by now, and as we know passions with hobbies dies/burns out, so they're all mostly gone.
It's sad that /hikki/ is the center of attention. There are other non-YN (most newcomers to /n/ haven't played YN) boards with interesting content such as /lit/ & /og/ that are dead as well.
/ot/ is still a wild card, but the shitposty-esque discussion has been getting bigger.
No.3097
>>3093>I have my doubts about tumblr; most of the site that knows about us despises and spreads bullshit about us being some sort of "bully site".I found uboachan through tumblr some ~3-4 years ago. Someone mentioned it while talking about a .flow update that had just been released, and I don't recall any negativity surrounding it. If there was any, I guess I wasn't involved enough in the community to fin it.
No idea what's going on now, I haven't seen uboachan mentioned anywhere on the site.
No.3100
>>3097I never get tired of posting this picture. It's from a survey someone made some years ago in tumblr about the community. Many… "central" figures (meaning: Most active) contributed with their two cents, resulting in what you see.
Long story short, when Middens was posted there was drama. Legit arguments, and trolls. Later, when flux was posted, there was drama. Everybody was mad because there wasn't any material at all despite the author claiming she was being active. Again, legit arguments, and trolls. Later, bleet had the marvelous idea of warning people that uboachan wasn't a good place to post fangames, because "they may be harsh". Tumblr, being the autistic scream-rape-prone piece of shit it is, took it the wrong way and started spreading it like fire about how we were complete shit and the bad guys. Basically because anything that isn't sugarcoated with 40 kg of honey is automatically rape, and no matter how good the critics you give if they don't comply with this, you are obviously a meany and a cunt and a troll who enjoys crushing devs because they don't fit your "standards" (see second pic).

>>3889>"semi-hikki" -> that's called "introversion" kidI'm afraid to inform you that the definition of hikikomori (according to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) is:
>「仕事や学校に行かず、かつ家族以外の人との交流をほとんどせずに、6か月以上続けて自宅にひきこもっている状態」 時々は買い物などで外出することもあるという場合も「ひきこもり」に含める"Somebody who doesn't go to school nor work, doesn't interact with people outside the family circle, and hasn't left their home for at least 6 months. Cases such as people under this condition who still leave their home to buy groceries from time to time are also considered 'Hikikomori'".

For example, N.E.E.T. is a definition coined by UK's and ever since then everyone has agreed on its meaning and used it the same way UK has been doing since the very start. Because otherwise you'd get things like "semi-neet" being valid because "guess what, I have my right to do whatever i want to it colloquially".
Hikikomori is just a translation of "Social Withdrawal"; you can't be "semi-withdrawal" because that simply doesn't make sense. Why just don't say "asocial" or "introvert" instead of using flashy words?
No.3920
>>3902In hindsight I'm ashamed of my aggressive shitposting.
I personally don't like dealing with the semantics of labels in situations like this because it drives people away from the actual context of the original statement. I just try to take someone saying they are a "semi-hikki" as someone trying to relate their feelings to another persons experience. To me this brings up the question, do people here want to be related to?

My life is really weird.
On the one hand, I have a decent programmer job, and I there's a couple thas good friends of mine, and allowed me to contact some high up people such as euro-parliamentarians and other influencial people. We are shaking up some things.
Besides those, I spend all my time alone. I had an exgf a few years ago but it went to shit after college. For some reason I don't manage to make any new friends and I don't really care about gfs anymore, so I just kind of live in a void.
I also know way more than I should about meditation, the occult, and other things…
I've had some ridiculous experiences, like chasing a suicidal schizo around a town, along with the police and the taxi company.
All those things may look like my life is fun, but it's actually being alone, browsing niche stuff, meditating and nothing happening until one of these crazy events happen, I'm a magnet for them.
If life were a script, I'd really want to meet the writer, and ask him wtf did he smoke when he wrote mine! Not that I'd complain though, it's not bad, just bizarre. I'm not a NEET, yet normal people feel like aliens to me. The feeling is probably mutual.

23, I first came here when some other imageboards were dying around 4 years ago.
>>6864I’m surprised to see so many younger anons too. For some reason I thought this board skewed in the late 20s early 30s more.

im 34
I was a neet in my early 20s, got a job tanks to my parents, worked for a few years, lost my job over a year ago and just been sitting here
I feel like being a neet in your 20s was better / easier than it is now. I am going back to work since my money dried up but its so isolating as well.

>>385it's insane how fast time passes now. Hours feel like minutes somedays. 8 years and so much has changed. I was never active here but I can't believe how dead this board became. I'm no longer a NEET but I was one when I made that post. Wild…

>>8063Better, much much better. A lot of what I thought would never happen to me ending up going well in the end. Unfortunately, I never ever anticipated the degree of decline the world as a whole would go in 11 years. If I had known, I would have been much more proactive and focused, but I guess I now have goals, interests, reasons to live compared to then.
If I was starting as I was as a severely dysfunctional hikikomori teenager in the present…
yeahhhhhhh, I think I would just check out…

I have one irl NEET friend who I can hang around with sometimes, but often he feels really distant. Though we've probably spent a month under the same roof together just this year

27 reporting in, this thread was posted when I was still lurking as an 18 year old, it's kind of sad that I used to be too chronically shy to post even anonymously. Would have been cool to see a time capsule of myself. For my future self's sake though, I think I'll blogpost a bit. Sorry if it comes off as annoying, this thread's neat and I didn't expect uboa to have survived this long. What if it survives for much longer still?
It's funny skimming through the thread, one second you've reached the point you can finally post as haphazardly as you want on any imageboard/site, the next you're basically ancient on the internet. I realize 27 isn't that much still but damn, I used to be the one thinking "omg 20's how oldddd". Things do get better as you get older even if they don't really, and that only makes sense as you develop yourself it turns out. I honestly used to think that thought was just a platitude. I'm learning more about myself every year even if so far nearly 3/4s of my adult life have been eaten up by repeated or long cycles NEETdom. I'm slowly finding my way through things, in and out of society. I can say I feel capable of being more human now, and I've even found a way to start over in a new country (it's not Japan lol) which is a lot for the way I used to be not too long ago. It's going to be so freeing even if I still hate every second that I'm not distracted right now. Real life's not nearly as stressful to interact with as it was when I was 22 and barely starting to do anything, I'm thankful for that. I still wish I had gone to school at all for the experience or something though. Maybe I'll go in my new country once I'm integrated enough and get good enough at the native language.
Maybe I'll also find a way to make a proper life for myself even online still, more social and in a healthier way than I've been before. It almost kind of sucks now being anonymous everywhere I go, it feels like I'm the only person without a proper handle, like I shouldn't exist most of the time; but I'm building up the courage in all facets of myself, and I know one day I'll be able to share what I like to do or my interests and what I make and meet a lot of cool people once I do. I'm excited to see where my life keeps going.
Good luck to you starting 20s. Good luck to you now mid-upper 30s if any of the older anons from back then still check here.
