Might be alone in this but I did appreciate 4chan for chatting about niche topics that don't really work elsewhere. Reddit is just the same 3-5 topics over and over mixed with horny shit and you can't really have a conversation on Twitter, so unless there's some forum that's been running for 20 years about your hyperfixation, 4chan was the best option. Gonna miss weekly manga dumps and some of the smaller videogame generals.

If 4chan had shut down a decade ago it might have been nice, since the culture was more confined to the website, but now even Hexbear has fucking wojaks so what's the point?

I'm still glad to see the people who used it regularly lose their digital hangout.

I will miss the tg PDF share thread, not aware of anything else that comes close in terms of organizing RPG and wargame piracy

Losing the /tg/ archive has been a tremendous loss for the TTRPG enthusiast community. I fucking loved reading random games in there or the weird supplements in it.

Maybe people will keep donating to it. As long as the rebrandly stays up, the tg thread basically only exists for user support and content requests.

I tend to obsessively read a large number of these, like way more than I could possibly ever run, but the things I do run I buy because I don't want to lack a physical copy at the table, and everything I buy I pirated first because big ass books made on small production runs are expensive and I'm not buying something I don't know I can get to the table (or at least desperately want to get to the table).
