The story
A thread titled “Isn’t the number of threads being kept alive dropping somehow?” popped up on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, sparking discussion about a sudden board-wide drop in retained thread counts. Commenters pointed to a board-wide restriction halting script-based automatic thread bumping as the main cause, reporting that long-preserved Makino-related threads and old live-commentary threads fell out of the archive (dat-ochi) one after another. At the same time, some questioned why even threads that should’ve drawn attention — like Juice=Juice’s official announcement thread — got buried and dropped too, splitting opinion between those welcoming the end of the bumping and those mourning the loss.

I thought the Kunio copypasta and the Juice-bashing copypasta were from the same guy, but guess they're different people after all.
For the Kunio one, my guess is it's either Oyaki or Sayumin-tono.
Did it get compressed down to the usual 700?
Or even lower than that?
Seriously?!
Hell yeah!
Which thread was he losing it in?
Getting mad about it just makes you small-time.
The real ones quietly get back to work — buying the next UPLIFT (fan support/voting item) and carrying on.
And there used to be tons of them
What do you mean by that?
Age-related vision decline
Ah, so it's the big-font thing
It was mostly Makino's job-bragging threads.
The anti threads weren't being bumped and were left to fall quickly anyway.
That's just the default size, man
Don't engage.
He's just desperately trying to change the subject.
Even though it's nothing but threads about jobs nobody cares about, nobody's reading, nobody's listening to, lol
It was at 737 at 21:31, then down to 702 by 21:41.
Didn't track the details in between.
It's dropped like crazy lol

Speaking as a Juice=Juice fan, I think it's simply that nobody's interested in the content, plain and simple
Sounds just like the Suzuki Airi threads, lol
There's a live-commentary thread from a week ago still hanging around

Background and Key Points of This Topic
5ch boards have a cap on how many threads can be kept alive at once, and as new threads appear, the oldest ones get pushed out and fall into the archive (dat-ochi) in order. Normally, even low-traffic chat threads can stay within that cap indefinitely by having a script repeatedly bump them with mechanical posts (“hozen”), but this time that bumping itself appears to have been stopped by a board-wide restriction. Posters in the thread noted that anti-fan threads and already-finished live-commentary threads that had been unnaturally kept alive by bumping dropped all at once — while, oddly, announcement threads that had nothing to do with the bumping also got buried and lost. This revealed that a high thread count wasn’t necessarily a sign the board was genuinely active. Reactions were split between those welcoming the end of the bumping and those lamenting the useful threads that got buried along with it.
