>mfw reading the posts my retarded past teen self made more than a decade ago on old videogame forums
>>733816820>been a retarded 4chan poster my whole life^based
I used to be a regular on a forum for a very popular show which was running alongside the ongoing source material it was adapted from and I changed my name to a newly introduced character which only fans of the source material would know, and that character has only become a million times more popular over the years. I was posting cringy goofy ass shit at the time cuz I was only like 12 years old, I don’t even wanna know if that forum is still up, but it most likely is.
I discovered 4chan through forums during early 2000s, I assume the forum->4chan pipeline was quite common, right?
>>733816820I occasionally pull up my posts on a forum I haven't gone to in ten years to read how damn good they still are
>>733817206I unironically came here from Know Your Meme back in like 2011.
>Cringe teenage forum years are forever gone because the owner killed himself after taking it all down
>>733817269pretty sure i came here from funnyjunk or some shit in like 08 because I kept seeing comments like "this was stole from 4chan"
You guys gonna watch the new Baki season tomorrow?
It's better to do something cringe than not doing anything at all.
Kazaa forums were my first. Many moons ago. I cringe thinking of all the 13 year old shit I said and did trying to look older.>lol sorry guys im super drunk right now! LOL. About to fuck my wife LMAO.Now I do the opposite, saying I'm a couple years younger than I am. So glad I got out of forums and into 4chan where you're not tied to a user name. Not to mention it toughened me up a lot.
>>733817235Who was still going on traditional forums in 2016 though? Reddit takeover was complete by then.
>>733817206Yeah, most early 4chan users came here either directly from SA, or from old Internet communities with forums. I personally got introduced here from YTMND shortly after the Ebaumsworld raid.
>>733817206Yeah, that was me.Did you guys also went through the /b/ graduation? I remember I stayed there for almost two years, mostly reading, not posting (my english was garbage).Then I moved to /a/, /v/ and /tg/
>>733817704>>7338172064chan was blocked at home and school so i learned everything through encyclopedia dramaticaby the time i got onto 4chan proper all of my references were extremely outdated
>>733816820you need to clean up your online footprint asap. Google your emails. all your emails. Google your usernames, all of them. exact matches. Delete posts, scrub presence. They're on to you already, but you can still throw em off.
>>733818740I never used my real name. And the e-mail I used got deleted a decade ago.I still can log in.
>>733816820>steampowered user forums are deleted and i dont remember my account name even if they were archivedphew
>>733817269I came here during the 2016 election. It’s funny seeing people still call people from that time new fags or election tourists. It was a fucking decade ago.
>>733816820I sent dick picks to women that were probably small enough to see it at 13. I didn't know the delete button only worked on one side. I couldn't even figure out how to delete the account.
>>733816820I think mine is scrubbed clean from the internet because it's all dead forums. Can't imagine being a teen today and having every dumb teen thought I have get the chance of being a cringe viral tweet or tiktok
>>733817206Yes and then in 2015 it became discord->4chan->school shooting
>>733817206My brother told me about Baneposting on /tv/ and that was my pipeline in. >>733818012Sadly by the time I found 4Chan /b/ was... well what it is now more-or-less.
>>733818986Oh boy, I came here around 2008/09 and I'm still a newfag
>>733816820This is why I use 4chan, nobody else except for mods can see your post history and it all disappears into the archive. No accounts, no usernames, anyone who doesn't have a subpoena is forced to guess by how you articulate yourself.
Anyone was here during the puddi incident?
