why are we spending our time talking about this cold european country. let's talk about austria where the middle is just dry deserts and kangaroos and all that
What?
does anybody here want to argue about whether australia is an island or not
Aren't all continents just big islands?

Serious question. This game is has cringiest community out of any community to exist to this day. If you don't agree, log in right now and take a minute to observe the #osu! chat.
How did this happen?
Update:Cringe.txtFirst 5 seconds after logging in:
I've been asking this for a while now.
Why osu! probably has a young player base, and also why it may have an annoying/cringey community at times.
Honestly, the only reason I can think of why osu! has a young player base, is most likely because anime is getting more and more popular over the years. Now, from what I've seen so far.. I can make a good guess that many of the younger people between the ages of 9-15 have been slowly but progressively growing in the anime community. Simply put, in this generation what with all the technology and everyone using internet, the majority of newcomers joining the anime community are between the ages of 9-15. (I would say that there is still a good amount of people around the ages of 17+ in the anime community)
As most people today who are either in highschool right now, or have graduated earlier. We all know that the children this generation are just more outright annoying than past generations. They try copying the personalities of some annoying persona from some popular person on the internet. By popular person, it could be from someone from a game like "Minecraft" or whatever else community is just trash. Sometimes the children this generation are just spoiled brats (Parents literally buy them like 2 consoles, a good computer, and a good amount of video games for each.) that never really seem to receive much discipline.
Okay, I know that the amount of discipline received through childhood most likely depends how you grew up and also the general area where you live. But honestly from statistics I'd say that kids this generation so far are more spoiled and are given less discipline than what I remember in the past, or have studied from the past generations before I was born.
You see, if we add in all the properties from above. It obviously shows that if many of those types of people like anime, they will eventually figure out about osu! from some kind of gaming forum or either from an in-game chat. Most likely a forum or in-game chat for some game that many people these days find their community horrible. Guess what, the people finding about osu! from those kind of communities, are joining our community. They came from an annoying meme filled community of degenerates.
Once those people join osu!, it's likely they'll spread their memes (Depending on the person, but yes toxicity too.) around the place. In a community where it was deemed "normal" to spread memes and talk with the intellect ten year old with missing letters in some words in another community, we know that at least some of them will come here.
The truly scary thing, is that when they do come join osu!. They will most likely have some other friends on other games, or either from Skype/Raidcall/forums that they will bring here. Mainly because their friends may have the same interests about anime. Which means that they will be bringing in more of the same people, when more of those types of people join. It can be kind of seen of it progressively growing like this: 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-etc
When you think about, that means many players between the ages of 9-15 will also be joining.
The only good thing I can think of, is that a change of place/or environment may help them a bit if they come here. But the true problem is that might not even help at all because they will most likely bring in more of the same people afterwards once they come here. Which to them, will make it look like the community is growing and it may or may not seem normal to them by how it behaves because of where they originally came from.
From my own experience, most people between the ages of 9-14 so far I've seen. Are around the levels of 1-36, I've actually seen someone who claimed they were fourteen years old and they were level fifty or something like that. Although, it wasn't like I could confirm their age anyway.
The reason that we have many registered users on this game, but only have very few of the player base actually play regularly. Is likely because of the difficulty of the game once starting hard, and then getting into insane then trying to add in some mods. It may make the game not too hard for the younger community in the game, depending on how serious they are with it. But they will most likely be attracted to other games and spend more time in those than osu!. In order for someone to actually be dedicated to osu!, they will use a chunk of their free time to learn and also fix what they need to work on to get better.
"Need to use a chunk of their time to learn, and also fix what they need to work on to get better. Especially when playing higher difficulty beatmaps with smaller circle size and higher bpm/ar."
That is mostly when those kids start to lose interest, or rather begin to slowly not the play the game anymore and start playing games that interest them more. This generally happens once they reach between the levels of 35-45, or maybe even earlier depending on how serious they were when first starting out.
Also the main reason of why the osu! community is slowly worsening due to the fact of the actual kind of people that are here currently. Let's be honest, the majority (Not exactly everyone here.) either are people who don't go to the outer world much. Or either have some form of social anxiety, or is using gaming as a way to escape their problems. The community just gets worse because the more of those kind of people that join, the community just looks to be "getting worse". Mainly because the people just don't have truly good in real life social interaction skills. It's funny I'm talking about all this when I actually know myself, that I just generally suck at social interactions in the real world and know that I probably contribute somehow to why the internet is looked down upon.
Ahh, it seems that I am just mainly rambling on and changing the topic randomly here and there for no reason. I might as well stop here and let you guys think up your own things on the matter.

Most people can agree that the current state of affairs is sad, but it doesn't take an oldfag to notice it. If anything, it's better to do your best and make some nice posts rather than reminisce about the past and get all bitter about it.
I said nothing about the current state of OT being better than the old state of OT. As you correctly pointed out, I have no idea how OT was back then. I can not say that I care much about how it was either, so your reply doesn't make any sense to me.Corin wrote:

Ephemeral was complaining, maybe rightfully so. What staggers me, is that he makes no attempt in being part of the counter-movement or whatever you want to call it. As he said, he has given up hope, so all hes doing now is sobbing about how the old times were better and talking low of the current times.
Frankly, I think this is a shitty attitude towards any given state of affairs.
Thats why I said, "be the new golden age yourself". Contribute, if you are interested in making this forum better. Don't stand by and cry, talking of lost hope and how everything used to be better.
I don't need knowledge of the old times to hold that view. Thanks to Brian for pointing things out as well, very much appreciated.

thus it is strikingly disappointing that ye of the new generation are apparently incapable of doing this for yourselves

It's become the stereotypical mentality to assume that Off-Topic is a shitstain and thus you are not expected to put in any decent thought to any action in here. There is no think before you post; there is no incentive to consider whether or not your post is worth reading. Moreover, there is nobody enforcing this.
It's just the path the new generation wishes to take. As mind numbingly boring as it is, there's nothing to be done about it.

you think this community is cringeworthy?
boi you've seen nothing lol
boi you've seen nothing lol
Most users are low in age and tend to do stupid shit
From what I can tell, the culture around the site was made early on in a way that works really well when the community is small, but turns into complete and utter 4chan-levels of garbage once it grows beyond a fairly small community since it can't regulate itself properly anymore, so the people that decided to just be loud idiots eventually won out and the only people who can stand being around for very long are people that can avoid them, people that can tolerate them, or people that are just straight up miserable the whole time.
I'm pretty sure it's just impossible to reverse this anyway unless the demographic that this game appeals to increases while everyone currently here grows up. Although I will grant that ever since the community became 'big', this is a pipe dream in the first place.

give me one large-scale community that isn't total asscancer
(This post is in direct response to the OP, seperate from any prior discussion)
I'll say it's the ease of access.
Osu is free, small, and fast to install. After the installation is done, user are presented with this global chatbox with familiar keywords such as "uguu kawaii desu senpaiplsnoticemaiswag" etc. Result? Some feel right at home while some simply pick it up along the way.
However, should the amount of shit the user needs to do before they are eligible to participate in the community increase, the amount of cringeworthy posts would generally go down. (Environments that deal with specialty topics that are hard to pick up tend to attract less cringeworthy-post producing users, whereas easy to join, free for all communities (yes, i'm looking squarely at social media) tend to attact more)
Hence, i'll pitch a guess that the reason "easy to join" communities contain more cringeworthy posts is due to how users who just want instant, thoughtless responses to their posts of the same nature are easily committed to and retained by such environments. They aren't interested in thinking though their responses, much less waiting for quality ones. They don't find it worth to take time off in order to put themselves in an ideal envrionment for anything, they just want find a spot, put whatever's currently on their minds there and entertain themselves with immediate responses (quantity over quality, instant over delayed gratification).
That's probably why there are less cringeworthy posts on most forums compared to their ingame counterparts. Additionally, it's an alternate channel where the users go to, instead of it going to them, and the majority of cringeposters don't bother seeking out alternate channels for anything, either for discussion or for solutions (same reason as why people don't RTFM, visit the wiki, or even bother searching before complaining).
However, people who post in the first place are in no way the majority (compare online users vs users chatting, or Youtube video views vs comment count), and judging any community based on the vocal minority is more or less akin as judging any group of people by their sterotypes.
Inb4 "hurr durr hipster mainstream hater"
Its not because its mainstream. Its simply the power of popularity, ease, and being the default that retains users who are willing to bear with cringeworthy posts or post them in the first place.
Browser toolbar adware works because the same users who can't be bothered to take a minute uninstall them are the same ones who don't bother spening the extra seconds unchecking the box. They would rather get the installation faster and deal with something they didn't ask for taking up resources and space.
Similarly, the reason why alternate browsers have gained popularity (especially on mobile devices) even though stock browsers have became leaps and bounds closer to 3rd party ones was simply because the installation and conversion to alternate browsers was made easier. In fact, it made more sense to switch to an alternate browser back then compared to now. Most people consider the effort to switch way more than the benefits they would get, or simply aren't even aware of the benefits
TL;DR
Everyone starts in the cringe pool.
Those who bothered to move their arses elsewhere left, leaving behind those who like it, and those who didn't find it worth to leave.
I'll say it's the ease of access.

Additionally, it's an alternate channel where the users go to, instead of it going to them, and the majority of cringeposters don't bother seeking out alternate channels for anything, either for discussion or for solutions (same reason as why people don't RTFM, visit the wiki, or even bother searching before complaining).
However, people who post in the first place are in no way the majority (compare online users vs users chatting, or Youtube video views vs comment count), and judging any community based on the vocal minority is more or less akin as judging any group of people by their sterotypes.

Its not because its mainstream. Its simply the power of popularity, ease, and being the default that retains users who are willing to bear with cringeworthy posts or post them in the first place.
Browser toolbar adware works because the same users who can't be bothered to take a minute uninstall them are the same ones who don't bother spening the extra seconds unchecking the box. They would rather get the installation faster and deal with something they didn't ask for taking up resources and space.
Similarly, the reason why alternate browsers have gained popularity (especially on mobile devices) even though stock browsers have became leaps and bounds closer to 3rd party ones was simply because the installation and conversion to alternate browsers was made easier. In fact, it made more sense to switch to an alternate browser back then compared to now. Most people consider the effort to switch way more than the benefits they would get, or simply aren't even aware of the benefits
TL;DR
Everyone starts in the cringe pool.
Those who bothered to move their arses elsewhere left, leaving behind those who like it, and those who didn't find it worth to leave.

If anime was illegal we wouldn't be having these problems.

weebs, people who think being an otaku is okay, shitstorms and easily-starstuck people are the main problem in #osu. tbh I only have the channel up only so I could check the time
accessibility and tolerance of low quality content posting users creates a snowballing system that forces high quality users out and draws in more low quality.loldcraft wrote:

Interesting point, haven't heard it that fleshed out as of yet. Credit goes to you.
What I'm wondering is why almost everyone has an anime avatar. Weeaboos rain supreme here.
The game is originally based on a Japanese game centered around Japanese culture with Japanese influences from Japanese producers, further propagated by Japanese people and Japanese cartoons and all those entail.
Basically, you have weeaboos everywhere because it specifically matches their interests, more so than any other demographic.

point taken!
I'm probably one of the few who don't watch anime here.

Makes me wonder how you got interested in the game
Well, I'm a very competitive person and I played League of Legends at first. A streamer played osu and said it was to practice for league. So I tried it, and got hooked because of all the leaderboards and the pp and alot of good songs (even some nice anime songs).
This game just makes you feel pro if you pull something off that you didn't expect you could do. Haven't had that happen in a while though... :'(
If a "normal" person was to join this game and stick around, rather than making the community better they'd probably change and adapt to match everyone else. The community growing will only make it a more vibrant cringe.
Depends. I for one almost completely ignore #osu. And our #dutch chat is alot less cringy. Although it get's pretty hostile there from time to time for some reason, it is much more mature, no ''notice me senpai'' nonsense.Mystogo wrote:

if you're not willing to hide your powerlevel it's pretty obvious you're a weeblord
With such a weeb community makes me wonder why OC is so uninitiated.
what the is up with everyone having this negative attitude about anything on the internet nowadays? are there really no actual problems left in the world or what?
Wait, #osu exists?
OT: I don't even know what happens in osu! chat

what does a guy have to do to get one of those sweet alumni tags around here
And I should add, I know I come across as a bitter oldfag to say stuff like this but I know that if you showed me 5 years ago what osu! looks like know it'd seem like some sort of weird dystopia. Every single map is done in that horrible style with no regard for music that was always controversial back then but by this stage it's become completely homogeneous. And we always joked about how every map is anime but there's less variety than ever now.
Again I know people always thing the past was better, but really, is there any chance of a group of people in the community making something as mind bogglingly awesome as, say, 'Don't Stop Me Now'?

I don't doubt it, but being bitter won't do much good beyond mutually stroking each others' beards.Mashley wrote:

The level of effort and amount of work put into this one beatmap still manages to impress me, it was one of the first beatmaps I ever played when I first started & this was when I didn't know that beatmaps could have videos & I just lost my shit at this sitting in front of my computer screen all dumbfounded, but at the same time in awe.Mashley wrote:
