Once upon a time, /vrg/ was a chaotic, messy, brilliant place. A place where weirdos in headsets could shoot the shit, share dumb VR memes, post jank setups, and just vibe. There were no logos, no departments, no “communication flowcharts.” Just a thread full of people who liked to be in VR and didn’t take themselves too seriously.
Now look at us.
Everything’s branded. We have internal “groups” with logos like it’s a goddamn Slack workspace. There's an event calendar, a command structure, and a guy at the top acting like a CEO.
Yuki, this is aimed directly at you.
You’ve taken something organic and tried to micromanage it into your personal vision of how it should work. You dictate how events run, you ignore feedback unless it fits your preconceived ideas, and you treat the thread like your playground.
Even the events you used to run weren’t just community meetups—they were SOS events, branded under your little group, a direct nod to the SOS Brigade from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Cute reference, but let’s be real: it’s less about Haruhi and more about you wanting to position yourself as the main character of /vrg/. Every project, every post, every server, every logo...it all leads back to Yuki.
And here’s the kicker! As the collage of screenshots from your messages show, you admitted to wanting to larp as Haruhi. Not just inspired by it! You said it out loud. You want to be Haruhi. Let that sink in. A character who’s literally known for being egotistical, controlling, self-centered, and completely oblivious to how she drags people along in her delusions. That’s who you’re trying to emulate. That’s the energy you chose. You didn’t want to contribute to /vrg/, you wanted to own it. To shape it in your image. Just like Haruhi does with the brigade. Except Haruhi’s behavior in the show is often framed as the problem, not the goal, let alone the solution. The solution (of course) is everybody around her reeling her back in and cleaning up her mess.
And now, on top of it all, you even have your own tracker. Not for the community, of course. For you. Your name plastered on it. And somehow, surprise surprise, it needs to be pinned to the very top of every OP, as if /vrg/ exists to orbit around you. This isn’t visibility, it’s vanity.
And why? Because you don’t even have the time anymore to run events. Real life’s getting in the way. So instead of stepping back gracefully, you built a tool to keep your name and your "brand" front and center, even when you're not around. Like you’re afraid the thread might move on without you.
Spoiler: it should.
It’s not just control, it’s saturation. When our short-term new home showed user IDs, guess who had the highest post count by far? Yuki. Overwhelmingly. More than anyone else. More than any group combined. Like you’re trying to be the voice of /vrg/ by sheer volume, repetition, and presence. That’s not community, that’s a monopoly.
This isn’t your Discord server. This isn’t your company. This is /vrg/. A general on 4chan (just on a short holiday before returning). You don’t run it. You’re just a participant like the rest of us. When you try to control everything, when you over-structure the fun out of it, people stop participating. They stop creating. They stop caring. And that’s exactly what is happening.
Bring back the free spirit. Kill the logos. Kill the departments. Kill the corporate cosplay. And take your tracker with you.
