We were a different breed back then
>>735773798Yeah, nowadays we just share twitter screencaps of other people talking about things we wish we could do
>>735773798Heh, that brings back memories. I was the one who posted that.
Unironically most of those people either migrated to a highly specific board, or went to Reddit.
>>735773798Hey I remember this. I was the rider who said "I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride."
>>735773798what a psychopath i hope he was locked up
Gen Zaggots - Post twitter screenshots all dayGODlennials - Created the internet you wish you could experience but are too subhuman to ever match let alone surpass
I was in that thread, too
>>735773798""""old 4chan"""" was unbearably redditits unironically better now
>>735774039Or became twitter personalities and got paid for having "opinions" and "content" instead of screaming into the void
>>735774316fact
>>735774316TRVKE
>>735774316it's 9gag without the occasional porn posted. Hows that any better? 4chan these days is what antifa faggots think being edgy means
>>735774316>>735774384>>735774445Good morning sar bloody
We just had Cave Story Rap guy, relax.
>>735774446Better than ""wholesome chungus reddit""" it was then. The hole board was run by tendies.
>>735774316Yeah screaming flop at every new game and scrubbing trailers for woke triggers to farm thread engagement with is way more fun than playing games and creating original content from it and being sincere about anything
>>735774316I'm still here
>>735774581>The hole board was run by tendies.>was>past tensesure thing buddy
>>735773798Imagine...
>>735774581This board has been PC + Nintendo since at least 2011 nigga.
>>735774916British never stopped making medieval torture devices and overcomplicated methods of execution. It's in the DNA
>4chan of old had fun, created OC, actually had hobbies and interests>4chan of new is just redditors and shartytroons shitting on everything because some kym-like told them that's what 4chan was about
>>735773798I have the shirt. It glows in the dark.
>>735774039And/or transitioned
4chan is twitter now but with more mentally illnes that people take as a compliment here for some reason
>>735775010>overcomplicated methods of executionnowadays it's called NHS
Depends on the board. Some less popular boards are still in 2009.
>>735774316>Fun is unbearably Reddit>Le ebin 4chinz should always hate everything
>>735774316Actually reddit wants to be old 4chan, but does it trying to be friendly and appealing to the masses, therefore an antithesis to what old 4chan was, but since it's more popular it overshadows this site's old identity
>>735775206Is this an assisted suicide reference or something?
btw that entire story was fake
>there are people still using this site 13 years laterholy shit that's fucking pathetic, 2021 oldfriend here
>>735774683We're sincere about our love of good games. We just don't enjoy ugly troon garbage and love to laugh and joke about it. Now go shave your 5 o'clock shadow, and stick to an electric razor please. We all know how much you people love to kill yourself.
>>735775045>try to talk a out anything>buy an ad!>Shill>
>>735775905Just combination of incompetence, overregulation, and embezzling.
>>735776201I'm not your boogeyman kiddo. And I'm not a young white man anymore so I'm clear of the demographic taking the largest number suicides. And safety razors solved the razor question long before either of us were born.
>>735773798I've been browsing since 2006 or so, but I didn't post much. Back then if you got banned, you couldn't even browse the website, it just took you to the ban page. And for some reason the shitty satellite internet I had would auto ban me for 24 hours every time I posted. Still don't know why. I lurked up til around 2008-2009 before I started to actively post.
>>735776312Don't worry, we have executives and shareholders making our healthcare decisions with profit in mind over here. It kills as good as the rest of em.
>>735776186I've been here almost 20 years, newfag
Back then /l/ still existed and /g/ wasn't for technoloGy
>>735776461nobody used the internet in 2006 fuck off unc
>>7357737984chins never recovered from the 2016 election
>>735776567Cute
>thread about a twitter screencap about an older meme from when this place still had some semblance of a culture>it's entirely overflowing with shitposting zoomersDo you guys think when this place finally dies we will see a resurgence of oldfags on moe or somewhere else, or that imageboards and the last vestiges of 4chan will actually die out forever? When the hack happened that place barely got an uptick in traffic, it's like everyone just vanished for 2 weeks.
>>735776704No mark you'll never have your oldfag chan because you're a dumb mongoloid that dislikes vidya. And fuck you for being the reason sega games have denuvo 12 gameoverman
>>735776201>"Good games" (indie shovelware catering to furries and/or the shittiest possible fetishes)>unprompted ramble about the second-newest boogeyman demographic that everyone who disagrees with you on any topic just happens to be a member ofSure is newcancer.>>735776704Altchans are full of the same cancer this one fell to. There's just slightly more good to balance out the bad.
>>735776930Who the fuck is Mark
>>735774316no it's notit's 100% worse in every way
MR BONESOFF ME
>>735774316Nah old 4chan was mainly white people. Now it's mainly Israel bots and Indians. That automatically makes it worse.
>>735774316Old 4chan had more maymays and catchphrases.Today it's more of a cynical discussion forum with occasional nigger/faggot shouting.t. oldfag
>>735775045I used to post oc but I tapered off almost completely because it seemed people just weren't interested in anything but the new hottest thing or highly repeated content like basedjak editswhy take an hour setting up some vidya stuff to show off, five minutes drawing shitty ms paint comics or twenty minutes editing an image if nobody finds it funny? its just wasted effortnow I just make silly edits I personally enjoy for the few generals I post in
>>735777301o rly?
>>735777216Old 4chan, pre 2010, was mainly uni students, now it's just underage retards with phones, sort of like you.
>>735774316at least old 4chan still produced OCwhen was the last time you saw an original, fun post on here?
>>735777460I know you are but what am I? Also Indians should be genocided.
>>735774247Same. God, I’m old.
>>735777736Claude
>>735777216You're part of the problem btw
>>735778137Nigger
>>735778137good morning saar
>>735773798Playing games vs playing with games
>>735776704/v/ was/is the weakest board on this website but also the most successful exporting it's culture, besides the other board that wont be mentioned. It's not so much that '/v/ used to have a culture' but moreso everywhere else on the internet just became a larger extension of /v/ because zoomers are obsessed with parroting 4chan memes.
>>735774316I think a lot of memes were much more wholesome back then & there was far less faggot politics in everything from 4chan to video game forums in general on the internet.But I ended up getting filtered off 4chan at that time due to loli gore posting + I was retarded and didn't know how to navigate the website so I got spooked away. My weak bloodline is probably 60% normie and 40% autistic.
>>735778010It amazes me to no end that this has such a following here. Seems like such a strange thing to build community around.
>>735778469>/v/ didn't used to have a culture
>>735777301The problem is cancer like pepe and wojak are now unkillable cancer that election tourists will cling to by claiming it's their 'culture' Which is then antithesis of how memes work.
>>735778678>2013
>>735778859both are normie tier now even e-begging streamer grifters all use pepe twitch emotes
>>735778905yea and even beyond that we still had some semblance of a soul compared to now
>>735773798Those were the reddit yearsYepNow we are living in the Discord and Xitter/BlueShit yearsBoth are terrible
>>735778678>bird poopHoly fuck that thread had me howling.
>>735777841Yeah. I bought a house across the street from my parents last week. I get access in June.that's right kiddos I've lived with my parents for so long that I saved enough money from pirating instead of buying video games that I can buy a house.
>>735779107>over 13 fucking years agowhy the fuck does it feel like time froze a decade ago and every year is the same gay hell forever?
>>735774316>old 4chanWas evil and (mostly) apolitical but hated the Jews.New 4chan is evil and political but hates the Jews.
Why did /b/ become so focused on porn? It allowed porn from the very beginning, right?
>>735779107I miss how common reaction images used to be
>>735774039>or went to RedditNot in a million years. The few times I have had to lurk that site it comes off as practically barren.There are blatant AI generated threads that get 100 of responses that makes one question if they too are AI.It's chinked up and Jeeted up, especially tech related splits.No matter how bad it gets here. Despite the April Crash taking a chunk of out the userbase, the rest of the internet somehow manages to be even worse.I can only deduce that most """normies/normalfags""" split their time between scrolling through tiktok/twitter/instagram and talking on discord.
>>735779303People forgot how to have fun and only function by following animalistic urges.
>>735775045you forgot>no anon makes OC any more, the best they can do is a shit out a slop prompt
>>735774316As a 2016 oldfag I can confirm this is true
>>735773798Am I the only one who looking back doesn't find these 2010s memes funny anymore?
>>7357792804chan only became political when leftists started coming here whining about racism, sexism, etc and then going apeshit when no one gave a shit and lots of people started mocking them.Evil? Irrelevant term
>>735776704The oldfags are all in their gated communities.
>>735774226>Millenialsthat was gen X-ersShitlennials were occupied being political cocksuckers at college and watching jason biggs movies>>735774316Hi Sharteen or i dare say, SAfaggot
>>735773798The quality of the site has obviously gotten incredibly worse. All of the genuine soul is long gone. Mostly killed by election tourists. But the rest of the internet has gotten so much more worse that its still better here.
>>735779473the old userbase came to 4chan because they wanted to have fun and discuss whatever hobby they had. the new userbase came to 4chan for politics or because they got banned from somewhere else. it's two fundamentally different kinds of people
>>735778618im 95% sure its a marketing stunt trying to shill claude subscriptions
>>735779540I like them for being a time capsule and a little cozy, but it's the prototype of mainstream milquetoast memes.I prefer the absurdist meme era of the middle 2010's
>>735779592Retard
>>735779712Ugh, this garbage? Or like MLG stuff?
>>735774316>Threads sit on the board for almost an hour even during prime time NA hours>Every single thread (that is actually about a video game and not porn or a twitter cap) is flooded with terminally online third worlders who hate said game and spam trying to drown out all discussionI used to be able to refresh the board and find 3-4 threads that were interesting to me, now I have a list of filters 3 screens long and maybe see one thread a day that I want to bother having a discussion in.
>>735779757
>>735779553>leftists>on 4chanChoose one.
/v/ still has some cultureit's just fractured between interests that not everyone shares
>>735779959where's the joke
>>735773798Hey, now we got endlessly bitching about trannies and indians sometimes or whatever new thing they want us to be mad about.
did anyone archive the level?
>>735779970>anon has never been on /lit/
>>735779970Retard.
>>735775120>PANCAKES PANKCAKES PANKCAKES
>>735780090I don't think leftists write books that are almost solely composed of the word nigger
>>735780023>says the subhuman DeltaniggerFuck off
>>73577773615 days agohttps://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/734746552/
>>735776704I think that ship has sailed long ago. There's far more numerous ways of shitposting than muckraking on a Vietnamese underwater basket-weaving image board and most of those neckbeards have found something else to do. I do worry about these zoomers who seem more directionless and schizo.
>>735780031the joke is satirizing elements from mainstream meme pages from those times
>>735780203>never looked a thread about ayn rand there
>>735780210see?you refuse to see modern /v/ culture just because it doesn't happen to appeal to you
>>735780031The joke is the 57 layers of irony.
I’m still on that ride atm
>>735774374yeah everything being "content" now days has completely killed any soul the internet had left
>>735778678yeah and now everywhere is just like this, hence why /v/ culture sucks.
>>735777216>Israel
>>735779347sorry sweety wojaks and pepes are here to stay forever
>>735779303browns and children. normal people who hear "anything goes" does anything, browns post peepee and vagina.
>>735779303Porn addiction. It’s not even a meme, despite being parroted like one. When you allow people to wallow in sexual degeneracy for so many years and it becomes comforting to them, it becomes their entire identity. It’s what happens when you stop shaming people for being too engrossed in their perversions.
4chan is too busy trolling itself to have a culture anymore.
>>735781083This.Caring about anything is cringe now, and that includes being a weird autistic hobbyist with vidya in a way that's entertaining to others. Even this post is too long now, now snippy and sarcastic enough. To be sincere is to be cringe.
>>735774316the old 4chan had originalitynow it's just 'jaks and frogs for the past decade+
>>735773798This board and website used to be white English speakers only. Only the US, Canada, Australia, UK, and Europe. Now it's overrun by brown third world ESL's. The lack of humor, fun, and soul is because it's just a designated shitting street being spammed with propaganda and marketing 24/7.
>>735778010and when we do have something original, there's always the assholes that try to push it someplace else. But oh lets let the 400+ gacha threads slide
>>735781270The fact that you posted more than "fr og" with a frog is cringe bro fr og.
>>735779553>t. Political Rube
>>735780628>brownsI see we're still pushing this cope/scapegoat
>>735781631Upset lefty is upset because he knows that anon is right. Your incessant moralfagging is why people decided to be as offensive as possible in order to mock you.
>>735780578
>>735775094I want one
>>735781785Faggot, I didn't do anything. You bunch of low self esteem reactionaries got swept up to thinking being edgy is some sort of political stand.
>>735781990You lost, tranny.
>>735781785>>735779553>election tourists waddle in to try rewriting history to pretend like they didn't only start flooding the site when gaymergayte and the 2016 election got their home boards deletedNo surprise it's also faggots of your breed that want the 4chan archives shut down and oppose things like per-thread IDs that would expose all the astroturfing, samefagging, and consensus cracking you engage in.
>>735782131I've been here since 2005 and I want all of those things. YWNBAW.
>>735774316The ultimate blackpill is that this website was always just a worse version of Something Awful, in spite of the fact that SA was an early facilitator of the war on autism by attacking Sonic fans.
>>735782371Both SA and Reddit developed crippling cases of Troll's Remorse. 4chan just rolls with the punches and gets Trump elected for lulz.
>>735779347No one uses reaction images anymore because underage retards think they're supposed to be a representation of your ideals instead of a silly picture.
>>735773798>17 years
>>735782359>I'm just a miserable bastard who gets off on making the site worse, each passing day!
>>735782721Keep it up. It's funny as fuck to me that you're so upset.
>>735782424>4chanyou mean the people who flooded the website and replaced the original userbase of 4chan
