how long have you been here /v/?
>>727896909>that clean W7 taskbargod, take me back. hell, take me back to XP while we're at it.
2012
>>7278969092005and yes it has actually gotten worse
>>727896909the vidya
I don't remember, around 2006!
>>727896909I came here from a Warcraft 3 forum, so that's how long I've been here. I'm probably the only person who knows who this is.
2014
>>727896909I'm an oldfag. I been here since summer.
>>727897290>Scrolls of Lore now that's something I haven't thought about in a long time
>>727897443What the hell are you talking about?
>>727896909I dunno, but I remember getting meatspinned on /b/
>>727897560Is that all you remember? Did you watch any anime?
This is my oldest reaction image
>>727896909I miss download statusbar.
warning: don't click
>>727896909Pretty sure I've been here since mid to late 2006, but I mostly browsed /f/ up until the 2010s.
>>7278969092005, 2006somewhere around thereI probably stumbled upon 4chan even before then but didn't make a habit of it
>>727898450I used to have tons of images, but I changed computer so many times throughout the years, and I never bothered to keep them. What makes me sad is that this used to be a meme, and yet the oldfags didn't even stay. It was true for me, but not for them.
It's been long enough that I forgot, and I don't like that fact.
>>727898568I wanted to upload a kissing qte swf game to begin /f/ but it was dead so I uploaded it to swfchan instead.
Like some others, around '05-'06. I remember when God Hand comics were the big template and when boards like /co/ were just added, but most things sort of blur together.>>727897290WAHA
>>727898620Another thing is that Nu 4chan wouldn't even know what a Wizard is. I actually became a Wizard, so that's two memes that I ended up living.
>>727898774Did you play the game that Suzuran is from? I did, but it wasn't a real playthrough because I don't understand Japanese.
>>7278969092017 newbaby
2023
>>727897290Funny, the WoW forum brought me here.
>>727899432>the WoW forum brought me here.What do you mean "the WoW forum"? Was it a private server?
>>727899469The official forum ran by Blizz, back when it was a thing that people were invested in and not whatever vestigial monstrosity it probably mutated into in the decade and a half since I was there.Any of you guys remember the Real ID push that got panned into abandonment?
I never understood why the noko function wasn't standard in the first place
>>727899694I played WoW, but I never used the forum. I used a Warcraft 3 forum for the private server I played on, and then I used 4chan. >>727899694>Any of you guys remember the Real ID push that got panned into abandonment?I remember hearing that people would have their full names shown when playing WoW, but I don't know if it ever happened. Maybe they thought it would protect people (kids, for example) but it's a horrible idea, because then you know who's a real female, and they would be more likely to be harassed.
>>727899328No, but I definitely remember the image edits that came from it, the one where she's sailing through the solar system in particular.
I'm a newfag, I've only been here since 2009 or 2010
>>727899859Also, imagine there being a female character running around and their name says>Gary Smithor some shit. They likely realised that people being forced to show their names would lead to embarrassment.
>>727896909I think since 2009 now.
>>727897290kek I came from the WoW forums that I only browsed because I didn't know about Warcraft 3 forums. Strange times.
>>727900141>I came from the WoW forums that I only browsed because I didn't know about Warcraft 3 forumsDid you play Warcraft 3? I played Warcraft 3 up until Dota 2 came out, and that's what killed Warcraft 3.
>>727900439World of Warcraft was probably a reason too. Dota players moved to Dota 2, and Warcraft 3 was the kind of game where you just had the game open all day. You couldn't play both Warcraft 3 and WoW, so people would choose the latter.
>>727896909Late 2005 or early 2006, I'm never sure. There is no better website to go to, everyone is either paranoid, a dicksucker, walking on eggshells, or lying about their opinion, it's maddening.>>727898620I used to have 116 and I seem to remember 108 filenames (Might have been from one of the old archives since that's apparently late 2004) until a transfer of my picture folder to a brand new Seagate external caused the entire thing to die. Needless to say I was pissed. Best I have now is in the 12X range like a peasant.
>>727900439Yeah I played the hell out of Warcraft 3. Was a beast at OG dota but cheated my way through the campaign. Greedisgood99999 :)
>>727900578>Greedisgood99999 :)What were the other cheats? Was it>thereisnospoon>iseedeadpeopleThe second open obviously reveals the map, but is the first one unlimited mana? It was so long ago.
On /b/ since like 2006, I came to /v/ when Pokemon D/P came out for friend codes and trading. It was fucking based. You wouldn't get a 3 day back then for just saying nigger.
Oldfag here, arrived in 2016
Couple of days now
>>727900639First one I think is the invincibility cheat. I remember spending hours messing around with cheats in melee mode, just for kicks.
>>727896909I found 4chan in 2006 through googling for darkstalkers porn.
>>727901101Did you watch anime back then? I've never used /a/, but they used to talk about anime on /v/.
>>727896909Been on 4chan since 2004. I miss the old days of Cracky-chan, Happy Negro, and Cockmongler. And the Habbo Hotel nazi nigga raids. POOL'S CLOSED DUE TO AIDS
I distinctly remember Japan Time when Brawl was coming out with nightly updates, so surely a while before that. 2008/2007 sounds about right.
>>727901483Am I the only one wgo remembers REI DICK? No other oldfag ever mentions it.
since like 04-05
>>727901760teh rei*
>>727901760People still talk about teh rei. I saw someone post it a few weeks or months ago talking about this very thing actually.
>>727896909
>>727901760I would have mentioned Teh Rei in >>727901483 but I didn't want to look like a gay.Also, there were the "One does not simply ____ into Mordor." Those were fun.I don't miss Goatse.
>>727901886Lol. That meme format is the oldest. It's like the old version of these.
>>7278969092007G4 taught me how to search site indexes through google and i stumbled upon hundreds of screenshots of 4chan
>>727901929>I don't miss Goatse.But people got fairly creative with how they forced you to see it.I remember when 300 came out and the board was filled with "THIS IS SPARTA", the kick, and posting the deformed hunchback man. The sheer amount of spam was the only reason I even bothered to watch it.
/b/ in 2005, came to /v/ a few years later and never went to /b/ againi used to actually fuck off for a year or two here and there, but not in recent years
>>727896909God, over a fucking decade now. I normally split my time between here and other imageboards. One just had a gamenight.
>>727902267>G4 taught me how to search site indexes through googleWhat is G4? Is that a show? This is a show I remember from the past. You know it's old because they played vanilla WoW and CS 1.6.
>>727902532I do miss the "can't unsee Goatse" memes, just not a fan of that popping up on /b/ back in the day. Also don't miss tubgirl, lemonparty, and 1guy1glass.
>>727902840You're supposed to laugh for getting pranked as you see the first few frames as you close the tab
>>727902947Same deal with /z/. moot should have left that at least to troll people.
>>727896909Since the beginning. I am here now to propoganda. I influence for the sake of a better future.
Just hit 19 years. This place has definitely gotten worse, but the rest of the internet makes it seem like a paradise. When this place went down, I felt a very real fear.
>>727902629>I normally split my time between here and other imageboards.Do you? I'm a loyalist, so I'm always here. I don't even use more than one board. I was on /v/, then /tv/, and now I'm on /v/. >>727903294>I am here now to propoganda.What the hell does that mean?
>>727903343>When this place went down, I felt a very real fear.Where did you go? I just went to Reddit, and it wasn't so bad. It's definitely no 4chan, but it's better than nothing.
>>727903343It sucks. This place was never amazing, but it getting worse and worse makes the old days seem like paradise in comparison. There really is nothing like it in the modern internet.
>>727903351See me in game to learn who I mean.
saw screenshots of /b/ on the thing-thing forums (old flash game) in 2006I was like 10 years old lol
>>727903610>I was like 10 years old lolDo you miss the old internet? I think everyone who experienced it misses it. The modern internet is really strange to me. /v/ is full of threads, right? Those threads have hundreds of posts. However, if you enter a thread, it seems like everyone has better things to do. It wasn't like that in the past, and a thread was like a chat room.
>>7278969092004, i miss the frames.
>>727896909I've been here since I was a little kid. E33 came out a little before I was born, way back in the old days.
>>727904317>i miss the frames.What frames?
>>727896909While I had been here a few times before, it was when a rom of pokemon moon leaked a month early that I found myself coming here regularly.
>>727904543>it was when a rom of pokemon moon leaked a month early that I found myself coming here regularly.Most people wouldn't even know what a rom is. I saw someone using a GBA emulator recently: >>724810624and I was like holy shit, what year is it.
>>727904225Well for one, the only people on the internet at the time were people who were physically on a computer. So someone had to dedicate actual time to coming here. If someone did have something better to do, they would be off doing that instead.As you know, there are way more phoneposters than PC users, and ban evasion is as rampant as ever. So there is absolutely 0 quality control.>>727904448On the left side of the website, this would always be present and would link to a variety of stuff. Not only the boards.
>>727904693>Well for one, the only people on the internet at the time were people who were physically on a computer. So someone had to dedicate actual time to coming here.Oh, right. Maybe phoneposting is rampant and that's why people post and immediately leave a thread. I legit replied to someone one minute after they posted and got ghosted: >>727903407One minute. That's Nu 4chan in a nutshell.
>>727904681I still enjoy emulating on dedicated handhelds some. Touch screens are lame and I feel foolish to play an 8-bit game on something that can run ps5 generation games. I'm eager to mess with a steam deck more but have to wait until christmas since a family member went half on it.
>>727904225>Do you miss the old internet?yeahearly internet argument culture was still alive and you could spark a long conversation about pretty much any topic and have people take the contrary position to the best of their abilityhad many multi-hour effortpost arguments back in the day on here and /mu/>if you enter a thread, it seems like everyone has better things to dothe point of discussing things has shifted. it used to primarily be a gladiatorial affair where you attempt to force a concession or sway an audience. now, with the influx of ESL and third world attitudes (as well as the exodus of high-agency posters & accumulation of mentally ill dregs) a lot of posts are just hyperbolic low-effort insults or schizo rambling, neither of which is very tempting to engage with>>727904693>the only people on the internet at the time were people who were physically on a computer. So someone had to dedicate actual time to coming heregood point
>>727896909Since about here
4chan came up a lot in the WoW general chats. At first I didn't get it or care, and only started browsing regularly in 2007 or so. It had a massive negative effect on my life.
>>727905047>It had a massive negative effect on my life.What do you mean? How can an anime imageboard ruin your life?
>>727904225>Those threads have hundreds of posts. However, if you enter a thread, it seems like everyone has better things to do.Phoneposting was a mistake. People barely even use reaction images anymore.
>>727903407Not him but other sites are lacking for me. On here a thread starts, a bunch of people see it and reply rapid fire, then it dies usually within a day. You go on somewhere like reddit and a post stays up and gets the occasional slow replies even a month later. Discord is a little closer, but it's only ever dedicated to topics you're already familiar with and with people you know. I've found all sorts of cool games from them being mentioned here. The anonymity is valuable too, people don't have to keep up appearances or wonder if what they say will be easily traced back to their real life. People shitpost, sure, but you don't have people intentionally reposting the same shit every day on another account to get imaginary internet points and bypass spam filters while posting only the most lukewarm opinions.
>>727904959>hyperbolic low-effort insults or schizo rambling>attempt to discuss [Fromsoft game]>anon immediately enters thread to tell me it's shit and then leaves>another anon accuses me of being a specific poster he had a disagreement with on another board / website multiple years ago>a third anon enters and accuses the first poster of being a tranny from a secret discord>thread immediately derails into the least interesting bullshit possible
when /r/4chan went to shit
>>7278969092011 but started posting around 2013
>>727896909Over 10 years by now, I migrated here after tumblr shit itself.
>>727896909My first post on 4chan was around mid-2005 roughly. May, I think. It wasn't too long before the first habbo hotel raid
>>727905130its a damn shame
November 16th, 2007. 11:08:44 pm
>>727905130>People barely even use reaction images anymore.Maybe they don't want to waste their time. I posted tons of images in this thread, but how many people do you think saw them? Judging by the replies, not many. So then, who are you posting the images for? Yourself? That's how it feels.
>>727896909I want to say 2009 or 2010 hard to remember.
Back in 2010. Everywhere else sucks and I specifically stopped going to forums before coming here because everyone was a bootlicker. Unfortunately, discussing anything nowadays besides in threads like this is a fucking disaster
>>727896909Came here in 2008. Mostly an /r9k/ poster, but I've always liked /v/.>>727898984This image was the reason I pushed my girlfriend to have sex with me a week before I turned 18 in high school.That was in 2013...
if unix times are to be believed, 2007~i mostly just use /vg/, /vst/ and /vm/ these days though, /v/ kind of smells and not in a good way
I came here in 2016. I'm not ashamed to say it.>n-newfa-"Election tourists" changed the political dominance not only of 4chan but the internet as a whole. I don't get why we don't just con the "election tourist" title just like we did with "chud" considering we did far more significant things instead of watching tranime all day and inevitably trooning out like the oldfags (and their LARPers ITT) did.
>>727906352>/v/ kind of smells and not in a good wayI know what you mean by the first half, but how does something smell in a good way?
2009too fuckin long
>>727906434
I first started using 4chan in general back in 2005 at the tender age of 11. Been here ever since.Always amazes me how much better life gets for me every couple of years and how absolutely dog shit this place gets every year. Recently I decided to try reddit seeing as I've gone almost 30 years without using it and now I finally understand why everyone hates it. Its an echo chamber of negativity and indians, and really shitty puns, worse than this place somehow.
>>727906548>girl who stinks goodI don't even know that smell. I was hoping you'd say something like "when you scratch your balls and smell your hand". That's the only one I would know.
>>727906403We don't care what newfags have to say.
>>727906592>I don't even know that smell.I feel sorry for you anon. My wife, she stink good.
>>727906620>My wife, she stink good.Yeah, I believe it. I like my own smell, so someone you love would smell good too. It's like some silent way men and women attract each other.
>>727902703where are those two now
I remember when a goofy flash game on [Adult Swim]'s website could bring everyone together. But that can't even be that long ago. Oh.
>>7278969092007.
>>727906434>but how does something smell in a good wayA minty smell
>>727900652Those were the days. Back when everything seemed some hopeful, before the horrible shit we have today. I wish I could go back.
>>727906785>They ran it either last year or the year before.>Everyone was complaining saying it was "gay shit" and they wanted the music off while a small handful of people still seemed to remember.
>>7278969092011I used to think people here would send hitmen to kill you if you ever upset them.
>>727906773Bruh, don't ask me that shit. I can't answer for most of them. I only know Mike Ross isn't dead because I saw a recent interview he did with Justin Wong. I think the e-celebs of the past are living in a society now.
>>727906892>I used to think people here would send hitmen to kill you if you ever upset them.Lol, really? Nobody even knows who you are, unless you let them know. I've written my life story on 4chan before, and nobody knows who I am. They would have to>live in your country>have went to the same school>also use 4chanSo, it's just really unlikely.
>>727896909About a year before gamergate blew up and moot closed /pol/. I don't remember exactly when that was. About 2012 or 2013. Somewhere in there.
>>727907495>About a year before gamergate blew upI was here long before gamergate, and I didn't participate at all. I think gamergate is what caused me to leave /v/ and go to /tv/. What better way to dodge people than change country? That's what moving board is like.
>>7278969092007 I think. I need to get out of here, the AI stench is unreal.
>>727907659>I need to get out of hereHave you ever been to Reddit? I was on Reddit when 4chan was down.
>>727903407>RedditLiterally whyI have given reddit honest tries but it is just so shitI toured altchans myself
>>727907709Use altchans then. Someone reminded me 8ch exists recently. I hear that's a slow 4chan.
>>727897004>Aero cancer>CleanTech illiterate retard
>>727907735It can be slightly nicer because of thread IDs and "better" moderation, depending. A general I use moved it 8 permanently after the hack because /vt/ is possibly the most garbage board on the site
I'm gonna be a wizard next month. I'll let you guys know what kind of cool magic I get.
>>727907768If you weren't using classic you were doing it wrong!
When was it that MLP got really really popular?Because I became truly active here around that time, so around 2010 or 2011Jesus, almost 15 years of this fucking shithole

2006. It's gotten worse but compared to what's left of the internet it's much better
>>727907627I wasn't that into it back in the day except watching a couple Total Biscuit videos. RIP. But yeah, I remember when every thread in the catalog was gamergate, for months on end.
>>727908017>I remember when every thread in the catalog was gamergate, for months on end.That happened because 4chan used to be more laissez-faire, so spam was possible. I just saw it all and I was like>I don't careand I went to /tv/.
>>727905118Easily, just like TV/Newspapers/Radio etc does.
2007 or 2008. I still remember when MD Geist came to save /a/, I remember the fucking unicorn, I remember a lot of shit like that. This place went to hell and I still can't find it in me to quit for long. Maybe it's habit, loathing of change, who knows.I'm tired, boss.
>>727896909Around 2006. I came here from GameFAQs LUE and LUELinks and ended up staying here after playing Guilty Gear XX#R, S4 League, Pangya, and Gunz the Duel with other anons. I left LL because discussion about games there was getting worse and everything turned into irl drama discussion, which is impressive considering it was a private forum. Nowadays /v/ is like that too but at least there's still the occasional thread where people actually talk and play games with each other
Long enough to confirm its no escape once you land here
>>727896909I came to 4chan fourteen years ago because I thought it was were memes were created and I wanted to invent a meme.
>>727908247Did you?
06
>>727907914I still think this is cool
>>727907817>spoilerThat place is a cesspool for SEAniggers and pajeets and has an army of brownoid jannies that ban you for calling them out. I didn't realize that you could get a ban as long as 6 months before ever posting on that board.
>>727908278Unfortunately nah, but you can have a joke OC I drew when I was younger
2007
Hey Faggots,My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.Pic Related: It's me and my bitch

>>727908848>(She just blew me; Shit was SO cash)The semicolon gets me everytime
board is unusable now with spam threadsa thread or post made 4 minutes ago ends up on page 6
I came here in 2011 because Dragon Age 2 was so fucking horrible and I kept seeing greentext in the various youtube videos mocking the game for being shit I lurked for about 3 years and didn't make my first post until early 2014 because I was concerned it'd be obvious I was a newfag (yes I know this sound retarded but it's true)
Hey guys I just got my finger box, I'm excited to try it. Any tips for my first time?
>>7278969092017, so 8 yearsI heard about 4chan every now and then. Tales from the old times. Saw a screencap on reddit and decided to have a look. It's funny how thin skinned I used to be. Used to actually get upset by shitposts.Felt kinda lost when the site was down. Truly, there's no place like home.
>>727909056Gamergate is bad because you have to be brain damaged to care about video game journalism and it unfortunately brought those people in.
The DownDetector comment section back when the site went down felt more like old 4chan than 4chan these days
2010 so about 5 years ago
>>727908848>Shit was SO cash
Ole Godzilla was hoppin around
2006 in the 8th grade when a friend of mine told me about this place and I ended up staying on /b/ for a few years until they started having uncut vs cut wars and kept flooding the board with pictures of dicks. Branched out into /a/ and /v/ sometime around 2009. Stop going to /a/ around 2013 and /v/ has been my main board since.
>>727896909It should be clear to anyone that I have a problem.
>>727909226>you have to be brain damaged to care about video game journalismgamergate was a shifting of the overton window where the "why is everything fake and gay" sentiment reached escape velocity
I like nostalgia threads very much
>>727909826No, it was an excuse for redditors to pretend to be upset and it was embarrassing to watch.
around 2005-2006. i've never been to /b/
>>727909894Every claim Gamergate leveled turned out to be true.
>>727909531What's sad is the rulefags won. The bottom half was old 4chan, but Nu 4chan is closer to Reddit. I manage to enjoy myself regardless of how bad things are.
>>727897290I know who Waha is. I think the character's actual name was Suzuran though I had to think pretty hard to come up with it
>>727909927Go to /b/ right now and report back. Don't return until you're on page 10.
>>727909943Journalism is a meme, sure needed tourists to shit up the board for that.
>>727909990>I think the character's actual name was Suzuran though I had to think pretty hard to come up with itI'm glad you know her name. I can tell you that she came from a game called Suigetsu, which was a Visual Novel. I played it, because I heard that it was actually a hentai VN, but it was boring crap, and also untranslated. Not my finest hour.
CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

>>727909894nah I'm correct, and obviously soyou can see it clearly in how the various groups branched off and developed, much like the old internet atheists branching off into the proto-wokescolds, skeptics, environmentally obsessed, etc. hitler pepe edits with "why did you make me do this, I just wanted to play video games" the most obvious example of where some of them went.basically a big gravity-pull thing that hits 105-110 iq normies like a truck. "oneshots" them, as the zoomies like to say.
>>727910068I used to have a cute image of her humping a pillow but I lost it many years ago
>>727910070She was hot, tho.
>>727910032It used not to be.
>>727910164>I used to have a cute image of her humping a pillow but I lost it many years agoDon't worry about it. I lost everything. I would have a folder with hundreds of images, and I just didn't want to back up such a mess, so I never moved my shit to new PCs.
>>727896909Since day 0 of Japan Time.
>>727896909I lost my old HDD from '08 in a flood so now I only got something from 2011 or 2012 I'm not sure. Shame...

>>727910247If I want to post something from the past, I just search it on the internet and hope it's there. That's what I did with the stuff I posted in this thread.
>>727910164>>727910247Nevermind actually I'm just a retard I do still have that one
Yoyoyo I came here during the 2016 election to talk about my God Emperor Trump and own the libs with Skibidi memes, no cap no cap!
>>727896909Like '06-'07. I don't actually have any images from '06 because I had this weird thing about not saving images early on, just lurking. I did make a shitty gif of Wario's nuclear fart from the Brawl teaser to post here and that was definitely '06, so there's that.

Don't remember which year I came here. People were still posting Babby and the green frog neighbour from Rocco's Modern Life. Heard about this place from SomethingAwful forums. I come here every day and 90% of the posts make me want to reach through the internet and strangle people. Once every 1,000 posts I see something that makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe, so... See ya tomorrow, I guess.
>>727910632That'd be about 2019-2020
>>727906548I have 2 old gameboys and pokemon crystal and emerald, how do I find a chick like this
>>727910707They don't look like this anymore, that breed is dead anon. And more than likely has children with Chad.
I started saving a bunch of /f/lashes in 2011. Going through my folder is a complete time machine. It feels like I'm actually back 10+ years ago.

>>727910557Real shame that embeds and previews ruined this kind of thing.
>>7278969092014 but the first imageboard I may have briefly lurked in was 8ch. I was a massive pokefag back then so I found /vp/ and from there /v/. The earliest /v/ event I remember was the hype, release and shitposting around bloodborne>goldfaces everywhere
>>727910819Yeah. Wow. Been so long I didn't even remember what it was called.lol just seeing that picture made me giggle
>>727909160>2017 was 8 years ago...fuuuuu....
Who were you in the year you came to 4chan? When I came to 4chan as a teenager, I drew this.
>>7278969092014
>>727910890>Remembering the embed when your cousin messaged this to youNo stronger move than saying nothing, and sending a duck roll in reverse.
>>727910890You memorized the popular ones anyway like PLmD.
>>727910934I guess we were both that guy, because I had this as my profile pic.
>>727910834for [L], probably "lolicon", because... well pic related as it plays eurobeatFor trolling, maybe "yotsuba hentai game" where as soon as you try to anything, it starts playing Corey In The House. Or maybe "gardevoir paizuri" where it's just ren and stimpy dancing and playing a flute
>>727896909when did the >mfw and shiggy diggy memes start? around that time I guess
>>727911109people used to say 'mon visage' too

>>727911165yeah I remember that too, like "mon visage quand" or some shit I think it was just the french version. so when was that? around 2011 maybe?
What was your cringe username?
On and off, I only recently started posting again and probably am going to stop posting given there's nothing to discuss, since late 2003 / early 2004, but back then it wasn't bloated with a specific kind of autism. Now don't get me wrong most posters of /v/ or 4chan for that matter isn't that bad, however you it's attracted the autists with a super specific interest or fetish or opinion who has all the time on their hands (furries or troons in particular) who has all the time in the world to shit up threads - Not too dissimilar to the reddit karma farmer. The volume of the hands of a few autistic retards drown out the others essentially and there are too many cases of each thread having their resident fuckwit who says the same thing every waking moment of their lives and spams the same shit. Case in point as of recently: The Klonoa threads and the King of Hell threads. It's not confined to just those threads; the larger and more popular a franchise the more mentally ill perpetually posting faggots there are.
>>727896909Since the hack
>>727911109shiggy diggy era was the best. OC was made featuring just about every popular vidya character of it at the time.I hate how short lived Give Her the Dick posting was in the grand scheme of things.

>>727911242Yeah 2010-11 sounds about right. I remember the 'mon visage quand' being posted with an image of the emperor from Star Wars, but that might be my brain inventing nonsense. I used to have a bajillion pics from old 4chan, but like some other anon ITT said, I've changed computers so much I don't have many any more.

>>727911541OHMY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Came from ytmnd to /b/ in late 06. /v/ in 07. This place is awful now and I only check on my phone while commuting. Funny that basedjak party memes are permeating through popular culture now rather than 4chan. I'm seeing gem memes all over Instagram from normalfags
>>727898984I escaped with only 3 years to spare

>>727911641It's unfair that I can't post Thems Fightin Herd content here, but disgusting basedjack garbage gets off free. I'd make them a banneable offense.
>>727909531It's refreshing to finally see this image without the dicks edited out again
>>727911354That shit was classic. Some dude posting on PornHub or whatever saying >drink the black booty juice and drill her so hard her ancestors in africa feel itWhat a legend.
>>727907914Yo wtf how you do dat?
>>727911674Ok zoomer
What was THE game in early /v/?
>>727912215That's a really good question. I bet it was something like WoW, considering WoW has been around forever. I used to play Warcraft 3, and then the natural progression after Warcraft 3 was>Dota 2For the people that loved Dota.>World of Warcraftfor everyone else. I mean sure, you could play other shit, but WoW was the biggest game.
>>727912326why are you larping

disregard this comment i suck cocks
I'm a newfag, been here since 2019 but tried to immerse myself in chan culture through old archives like yuki.la and old.sage.moe, kind of embarrassing to admit I know.
>>727912503Nothing embarrassing about being a newfag, it's embarrassing posting on 4chan though.
I'll be hiding every post that isn't a direct reply, and all images will be filtered. The shitskins are replying to this thread because I have everything else filtered. You sub-humans can keep posting if you want.
>>727896909introduced in like, 2009, 2010? but didn't really start browsing proper until 2011. good times.
>>7278969094chan? 2008. /v/? 2011.
>>727896909>TrapOh my God you can't just say that nowadays
>>727912561Maybe the little shitskins who ruined my website will learn to shut the fuck up instead of posting. Fucking animals. Go fucking post in the threads that were word, subject, or image filtered.

>>727912953
How do you respond?
>>727913178Lol. Nobody even usesu madanymore.
Is it possible to browse 4chan and not become a weeb?
>>727913265In 2025? Absolutely. It wasn't in the past, because you'd be an outcast while everyone else talked about anime, manga, etc.
>>727898984I only had sex at 17 and I'm almost 30 nowI could have been a wizard...
>>727913265Back in the day no, this is an anime forum by nature. These days all you have to do to post here is be a redditor.
>>727913296I think what killed 4chan being an anime website was constant usage of "tranime". It wouldn't bother people if it wasn't true, but we suddenly had a /lgbt/ board one day and everyone was like>oh shit, they were right
>>727912953my mother is already dead, you have no power over me
>>727913296How past are we talking about? Because I'm sure a lot of the boards that made 4chan deviate from its anime-centric nature were being made as back as in 2006.
>>727913483>How past are we talking about?Just figure out when /lgbt/ was added. Liking anime was the norm before that. Nobody questioned your masculinity if you watched pic related.
>>727913410Pretty sure /lgbt/ was made so the outsiders wouldn't consider 4chan an alt-right nazi hugbox.
>>727913585>an alt-right nazi hugbox.That's actually what we were for a little while. I don't know if we were being raided by Stormfront or what, but it was 1488 for a while. I lived through that period.
>>727913458sorry anon
2011, but didn't start posting till 2017
>>727913615Pretty sure ponyspam was a commonplace back in the day and they targeted /pol/ (/new/) a lot for this very reason.
>>727913692Yeah, well, you guys may have chased the racists off /v/, but /tv/ was very racist too. I was just blasted with racism growing up on the internet, and then you become like everyone else to fit in. You pretend so long that it's not pretend anymore.
post 'emhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYhIhoaSZpEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs_3JW5i_vA
>>727914107As I said, I moved from /v/ to /tv/ during gamergate, and I can prove that they were racist in the past. The very first mention of 1488 was 2010.https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/search/text/1488/order/asc/
2004first thing i ever saw was a yoshi-get on /b/ where all the yoshis were sucking eachother's dicks and the post content was like "STICKY YOSHI CUM CUM" or something, was like get 133337 or some shitthis place is full of retards now though
The worst thing about modern 4chan is the relentless obsession with American political culture, when was the last time you saw a thread where someone didn't bring up trannies/troons unprompted?Sure, you were always surrounded by mentally ill people here but they weren't always this insistent on forcing you to put up with their obsession.
>>727914369>when was the last time you saw a thread where someone didn't bring up trannies/troons unprompted?Is it unprompted, though? The last time I left the house, I saw one of them. I usually see one every time I go out. I'm not even American. I think it's a very real issue and people are kind of justified in complaining about them. I live in Australia, and I see those people.
>>727914572If I watch a Youtube video, it's entirely possible that I'll see one. It happened when I watched some random Justin Wong video.https://youtu.be/bFWsfgxQNnk?si=ohu8GccGaHDYqXOJThere's a reason people bring them up, and it's because they see them everywhere.
>>727914572>>727914631I've never seen or met one in my life, they've never been in any game I played or show/movie I watched.The ONLY place I hear about them is here and if I make the mistake of watching a nu-comedian.>Is it unprompted, though?CTRL+F this thread or any other one with a couple hundred posts, tell me if there was any good reason for the mentally ill anons to bring them up at all.
>>727914752I did ctrl + f tranny and got one result. Do you have more?
>>727914795Even if you choose to play dumb it's still one too many.
>>727914893I'm not playing dumb, and neither are you. I think you're just a stupid person. I'm filtering the image you posted, and I suggest you go post in the 90% auto filtered section. I don't have a second thread open. Please go spend time with the trannies and shitskins.
>>727914934Wow, you sure showed me!
A few months before the boxxy spam collapsed /b/. 2007 or 2008. I miss old /b/. And old /new/ too
>>727896909Too long.
.
2007i dont even play video games anymore
>>727896909Been browing this shithole since 2008 after hearing about /tg/'s RubyQuest on a webcomic message board. Earliest thing I can remember of /v/ in particular was the Katawa Shoujo act 1 demo, still have it saved for some reason even after the full game was releasedThis place has gradually gotten worse over the years with massive drops in quality particularly during gamergate, m00t leaving, and the past few burger elections. There were always edgy children here doing the virtual equivalent of smearing shit on the walls but at least in the past it was largely relegated to /b/, these days it seems like antisocial behavior is treated as an indicator of sincerity or "authenticity" rather than just being an asshole if not an outright sociopath.Honestly feels like only threads that are even remotely worth reading these days are ones that manage to stay highly focused on a specific topic, broader discussions tend to degenerate into culture war spergouts. Nobody even tries to form a coherent argument in most threads, its just cretins calling eachother whatever ethnicity they're most asspained about at the moment
>>727913208>thinking that face is "u mad"Holy shit, you are young.
>I've spent over half my life shitposting with you faggotsI hate you all so much
>>727913265>>727913296>>727913410It's the opposite. A degree of weeabooism is just normal now. You don't need a japanese imageboard clone to talk about anime anymore. Zoomers just do it on facebook with everyone else.The actual successor to edgy anti-anime SA goons are the zoomers who watch anime but cry about it being diddy blud or whatever. They also still watch it lol
>>727907768>t. fat flatnigger
your all old and losers fr fr
>>727912401>inspect element editingcome on im not falling for that old trick
Since 2020t. zoomer
Did they hire some jannies or some shit? what went on backend today
>>7278969092010 i was still using irc rizon before then
>>727917391ouch man.
>>727908848/b used to be full with this one
>>7278969092005.I have no idea why I'm still here, 20 years ago this place was fun and now it's bitter kids, Indians, schizos and no fun allowed. I guess I remain out of habit.
>>727899852Not sure Moot did either, since it's now inherent to all posts.
the only good thing 4chinz is good for today is hookups
>>727917758To be fair, I haven't really stuck around after 2016, I go through periods of years of not vising the 4chins and then coming back for a month or so, sometimes longer. Board culture is dead and every board feels like /pol in disguise.
>>727907817This. I have a couple of altchans I occasionally visit and during the hack found 8ch not only still existed but was actually a breakaway from the retarded /pol/ on steroids version it used to be. If it wasn't slow as molasses I'd go there instead since the IDs make it impossible for the schizos to fuck over the threads.
>>727917758>no fun allowedThat meme image about "this is what /b/ wants /v/ to be like" was actually what 4chan used to be like. The one here: >>727909531but not everyone knows. Things must have changed after Moot left.
It pains me knowing had I discovered this place earlier, I would've actually made friends here.Nowadays I question whether if there's actual humans posting.
>>727917989Do you think an AI could take a screenshot and post it like I did here?: >>727909957If they could, then I'll gladly post with the AI. Every time it was done, it was done by me. I would finally have an equal.
>>727917989>I would've actually made friends here.you would've fallen out years ago because the majority of posters are mentally ill
>>727896909I'm an eternal cancerbaby from 2012. I never thought this place would get any gayer than Gamergate, and yet every year manages to prove me wrong.
>>727918058Also, I was posting all the shit from the past. >>727897290>>727898620>>727898984>>727902703All me. I wish an AI had helped, but you guys don't do shit. I asked people if they watched anime and nobody said shit. What does that mean? All the oldfags are gone and it's just me left.
See. All me. Nobody knows what the past was like because it was me and people who are no longer here.
hi
>>727918162>>727918201Meds brother, you are looking for affirmation, people in here know what a fucking wizard is or waha, but that doesn't mean people want to circle jerk with you.
anyone wanna play mario kart 7
>>727918457You're not my brother, you fucking Nigger. If people don't want to talk to me about 4chan, then I'll add this thread to the filtered section. Enjoy each other's company. I'll be filtering every single thread that could potentially have a non-white posting in it. Assume this is a joke.
>>727896909It doesn't matter. It hasn't mattered in a long time and it will never matter again.
>>727918107So am I. That's why I wish I'd came to this site earlier.I'd prefer to hang out and possibly ERP with spergy, desuposting otakus rather than the troonchudgigawojak soup brain mouth breathers that's plagued this place. It's to the point where I just get a headache simply from looking at the catalog.
>>727913265I started in 2008 and I never became one. Just browsed /g/ and /v/
>>727915069I got there just as it was starting to die down, what the fuck was that board's obsession with that proto-e girl
>>727918794>So am Ithey're the type of mentally ill that removed you and went on sperg rages because you wouldn't play a videogame with youpassing trannies are based because theyre easy to hookup with
>>727918794>troonchudgigawojakAt least /a/ is mostly free from that horrid cancer but it has its own major issues too like the spamming of generals
>>727918794DESU
>>727913265I had stupid limited exposure to anime (whatever was surface level that they aired on local airwave channels) and my mom liked Heidi so anything beyond that was just fucking absurd to me, Do I like Anime and Japanese stuff now? eh, its there. I think the only anime this place ever got me to watch was Lain but that's only because the connection it had to Digimon's third season.
>>727913265Reverse for me, started as a weeb, reading vn's, shitting up tlwiki, watching anime and only browsing /a then quit consuming anime completely in 2014, I still read vn's tho, I still like the idea of anime, just can't ever get my self to watch a full season and I am so fucking sick of all the waifubait shit.
>>7278969092006I didn't make my first post until 2011 though
>>727911380column 1 row 9 is current 4chan mood
>>727897290I know who it is because I put it in google search and then replied to you with who it is, so it means I'm an oldfag too. Now I'm going to use what you just posted in future oldfag threads so I can pretend I was an oldfag.Being an oldfag posting old stuff means nothing. You're just letting more zoomers save your stuff so THEY can pretend they're oldfags in the future.
2016. Whatever.
I don't remember when i got here. I don't have the ability to form memories like most.
>>727915613
>>727915536Thing is that the modern troll bit is entirely insincere. I think of it as a false sense of authority or objectivity that these people ride on. Maybe I am just a fool in what sincerity is seen as now.
>>727913410funny because "I want to be the little girl" was a sentiment everyone lol'd about in the pastpoe's law hit hard
>>727896909I've been here since 2007-2008ish and it truly has become a dumpster fire here but the mainstream normalfag sites as usual are even worse so there's nowhere else to go.
>>727919838anon we're all little girls on the internet.
>>727898984I'm a wizard, is there another title for also never having your first kiss?
>>727918157how can it get gayer than gamergate when it never ended?
A few weeks before Chris Benoit.
>>727919947Unless they're spiders
>got here in 2011>remember /v/ being absolutely flooded with "LE MONKEY FACE LE EPIC 9GAG MAYAMAY XDDD" ironic shitposting when I was new here
I'm a 2016 election tourist from r/the_donald, so you could say I'm kind of an oldfag
>>727919963Nah they just give you additional spell slots.
>>727915613>>727913208>not knowing coolface
>>727920158What extra spells can they cast what do they do.
>>727896909first visit 2006 or so. started frequenting around second half of 2007
>>727909531I remember that image being posted a lot when Moot made /vg/ and people were arguing about how on-topic or off-topic /v/ should be.
>>727920281turn women
>>727920281whatever they want
>>727896909Since ME3 previews, so 2011.
>>727920350I was not on here (/v/ I would just use /mu/ to argue with hipsters never really came here) when they game dropped with its 3 colored endings what was the shitposting like.
>>727909226This.>>727909826No, not really. People were just annoyed to discover that Californian retards are friends and nepo babies even amongst themselves. Which is a fair frustration, but if you were not a retard, you should have known about that from the start.
>>727910925>tfw I still remember /v/ freaking out about how people born in 2000 would be allowed to post here>we're now nearly at the point where people born in 2010 will be allowed to post here
>>727909943The argument was never that, the argument was that we knew all the bullshit already and we didn't engage with IGN or "mainstream gaming journalism". Whoa anon, journalism is corrupted and biased? WOW!Literally retard kids learning about "the world" for the first time and making it a "movement."
>>727896909something like 2008-2009 start on /b/ though, and I lurked a year before posting, like a good little newfag.
This past decade and a half has been a blur to me, it almost feels like yesterday when those >2011 George Constanza memes started.
>>727910196Nah, it has always been, at least in the mainstream. True journalism is rare and even more rare nowadays because they are killed left and right all over the world because faggots like you don't even know what real journalism does or achieves and just cries and whines about gaming shit that was never relevant for anybody with two brain cells anyways.
>>727920469NTA, but I still think /v/'s reaction to ME3 is the angriest I've seen /v/ get about a game in the nearly 15 years I've been here.
>>727920623I still remember when /v/ had dubs, a simpler time
>>727920539Yeah, I remember IGN being a complete meme on /v/ way before GamerGate.
>>727920702Kino, I should've been here welp at least I got to experience DeadMau5 I guess shitposting from a sticky
>>7278969092012/13/14 I honestly don't fucking remember. I really only became active here since 2016/17.
>>727920469If my memory serves me, we were mostly memeing on how clearly slapped together and shitty the decisions they were making for the game were. I remember people shitting on the fact that you couldn't holster your gun, James Vega, how they wanted ME3 to be a good "starting point" for new players, one of the dumbest shit I ever heard.We had people posting on the EA forums and bringing back coping posts from the Biodrones at the time. There were the Quarian edits. I remember also when Erik Kain from Forbes made an article about how EA was basically deflecting criticisms about the game by claiming people were being homophobic because they added a gay sex romance scene and love interest.It was a fun little romp, but I came here because literally everywhere else was sucking the game's cock and I could clearly see it looked like shit and people here agreed.
>>727920836Thankfully now that heads have cooled and we've had some time, everyone agrees 2 > 3 > 1.
>>727920763Yeah, paid reviews on IGN have been a thing since the start of the 360 era. Giant Bomb was created because one reviewer was ousted for calling out on that bullshit.Again, mostly console kids that learned that gaming journalists are retards.
>>727920887Nah, 3 is still a terrible game because it completely changed the focus of the game, setting, tone, etc. The only people that "enjoyed" it were people that played the class based multiplayer and, you know, when your epic space opera RPG series biggest point is the multiplayer, it says a lot about how dead Bioware already was as a RPG dev.
Long enough to use noko in the email field and too long to even remember what it did.
>>727920836I still remember /v/ making fun of how there was a crowd of fleeing citizens that were just 2D sprites.
i miss old 4chan
discord and phoneposters
>>727921138the spirit of 4chan lives on, just not on the clearnet.
>>727908848/v/ posters unironically act like this now that everyone is obsessed with being "Chad".
>>727902703G4 had a forum my man.
>>727921281No Anonymous, you're the normalfagAnd Anonymous was the nomalfags.
>>727921216only place where I felt it is at the sharty but i've got no interest in soijaks
>>727921195Banning phoneposters is the only way.

>>727897004I recently riced my W11 taskbar to look exactly like it and it’s great, although small on my massive monitor.
>>727913410I came to 4chan in 2013 (sorry) and have been here daily since, but, looking back, it seems like I would have fit in much better on peak SomethingAwful, despite one of their defining traits being their hostility towards anime, furries and any other kind of nerd sexuality. I have no community at the moment and haven’t really had one since Hypnohub got ripped apart by the trans tagging meltdown.
>>727896909I've been here long enough to see this site go from a handful of boards filled with hermits whose idea of a good time was fucking with a neo-nazi radio host and spamming f2p games for kids to the biggest repository of failed, miserable, pathetic, sexless males and Indians.GrapeApe should be executed.
2008
I came here during the 2016 election.
>>727920473>>727909826>>727909226>>727909056Actual oldfag circa 2006 hereAnon is right that ever caring about "integrity in games journalism" was childish and stupid. Hobby press is not a fourth estate, it's a marketing wing of the hobby. Hobby press can't exist without the access private companies provide so thr conflict of interest is baked in.Beyond that GG was mostly a test run for groups like Cambridge Analytica to see if they could effectively astroturf mass outrage. Turns out they could.
>>727921645I actually do. The oldest post I can remember making was a thread in 2014 asking /v/ to find 100 similarities between Borderlands 2 and Destiny, with the first reply being “both beloved by autistic faggots like you”.My first successful thread was one a month or two later about how the logical next step for a Bioshock setting would be a lavapunk city at the center of the Earth, given that we’d already done Rapture and Colombia, but I didn’t have a full grasp of the philosopher connotations of both individual cities from those two games (and now I just don’t care), so my point never became any more fleshed-out than that. Now that Judas is on the way, I know I maybe should have just said “Bioshock in space”.
>>727914369Nazis took the mantle of "most obnoxious posters" from bronies and never stopped innovating the gameThey're now the most obnoxious cunts to ever exist
2007. I'm an eternal newfag according to the timeline.
>>727923591I actually don't remember my first thread that made it to bump limit, it's specially difficult these days since anything on-topic that isn't bait gets mostly ignored
>>727923740>t. has never lived with bronies
>>727923801Anon I literally said that's who they took the mantle fromI was here when FiM began airing.Bronies were a flash in the pan and were nowhere near as ubiquitous and obnoxious as Nazis.If you disagree you're probably a Nazi.
>>727924068Socialists are huge on the internet now and are Chernobyl levels of abusive and obnoxious.
>>727924157>Yes, I am a NaziYou ruined the internet for everyone.You're doing it RIGHT. NOW.
>>727896909off and on since 2005 unfortunately>>727899694>Any of you guys remember the Real ID push that got panned into abandonment?they kinda put it in but didn't enforce it or anythingt. my real name shows up with real id to friends
>>727924216I’m the son of a Polish Jew, you shitheel.
Probably 2010 or so? Namefagged on /co/ for a while and played way too much Destiny with the fags in the associated /vg/ general.
>>727896909I'm a 2019 oldfag
>>727924271They must be so ashamed
727924216>everyone that disagrees with my retarded ideas is a nazi5.6/10 baitYou need to be more obnoxious and less blatant
2016 oldchad here
>>727924579>Behold my obnoxious cuntery jutsuReally not helping your case, Goebbels.
>>727924748Would Goebbels have fit in with the Akatsuki?
>>727896909Started lurking in 2005, posting in 2006. Some guy in an IRC channel kept linking images from 4chan, and they were the funniest shit I saw in a long time. I went to 4chan.org but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't letting me go to any of the boards, and it turns out I had to scroll down on that window on the left and click "I am 18 years or older" or whatever it was. Often I get asked "Has 4chan changed?" and the answer is "yes and no". Has 4chan changed in intelligence? No.Has 4chan changed in effort? Yes. Back then, folks really put an ankle into posting, especially in trolling, which I'm sure the reason for this is the massive influx of normies on the internet over the years.
>>727924854So 4chan was never actually smart and I’ve just been conned.
>>727924941Yeah pretty much.Being retarded is part of the fun though.
>>727896909Since I was 13-14, so late 2003 early 2004.
>>727924854People used to steal memes from here, now this site just steals them from the other zooomer sites,
On 4chan since 08. I think I went to /v/ the following year. I mostly remember ishyggt and baneposting. r9k was also great for some duration of time. Cant remember the exact years. It spiked a bit back up when they started using the word "incel" but fell off a cliff when normies started using it.
>>7278969092015 oldfag
When will the site be down for maintenance again, bros?
>>727896909First started as a /b/fag around September 2015, didn't visit /v/ until early 2016. Didn't come for the whole /pol/ faggotry going on at that time but rather to see what the gist was of this site.I actually don't know exactly what got me here, but most likely due to people randomly bringing up 4chan as this elusive place. I could have been here a few years earlier if I wasn't so tech illiterate and thought I'd get hacked and doxxed just by checking the front page.Needless to say it changed me for the better (or worse). There's no other place like it active as this, so I will be here forever.
>>727925568It was just down yesterday
>>727926040Forgot to mention I visited /f/ more than /v/ up to 2018-2019 where the magic died out for me. Still miss it, swfchan's /f/ board just isn't the same.
I'm too hungover to prove shitFuck you
