/ghost/ was a great extension to /jp/.
What has been happening as we've went through /jp/'s death is that /ghost/ turned into something else. /ghost/ is a completely separate entity now that lives vicariously through feeding off the butchered shit left by janjan.
It used to be everyone would talk on /jp/, and /ghost/ was for continuing any discussion and joking about meta stuff. Without the first part, the entire system just gets destroyed. What is the archive then for?
1) It seems people crowd in select threads which continue on with long discussions, like the NEET thread. This used to happen on /jp/ not ghost.
2) Someone who is banned, or for whatever reason, makes a reply to someone on /jp/ from /ghost/, when there's no reason it shouldn't be on /jp/.
3) Laugh about how epic this new funpost was that got almost no replies on /jp/, and was deleted very fast. These threads used to be able to stay up for a decent amount of time on /jp/ and get a bunch of replies, and only then people would continue on warosu or whatever.
