You now remember the Anipike
>>289055819When did the old internet die?
>>289055910too soon
>>289055910When we all lost the game.
>>289055910Not that hard to track down
>>289055910November 27, 2008
>>289056418what happened?
>>289057174I started using it. Sorry.
>>289057234Did you destroy the website?
>>289057174A nationally televised Rickroll
>>289057310Okay that would do it.
>>289056079Now that I think about it, knowing that meme should be bare minimum proof you are a real oldfag or at least a real anon.
>>289055819>Popular Series: Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon>Fushigi yuugiwhat
>>289057495Women. Maybe.
>>289057270Yes. I'm also the creator of ifunny, by the way.
>>289057691>ifunnyifunny walked so instagram could run
>>289057310I don't think most kids knew what a rickroll was. It truly was over
>>289057495all the tumblr blogs now were individual anime shrines to bishonen back then, Fushigi Yuugi had lots of those

>>289055910Others have said it, but 2007. The Iphone changed the entire landscape of the internet. We went from an overwhelming majority of users being nerds on desktops to an overwhelming majority of users being regular people on their phones.
What is 4chan's connection to tumblr anyway? Reddit and 4chan also seemed yo be more friendly back in the day.
>>289055910When social media matured and most people used the internet effectively through facebook etc.That killed all the tiny hobby and interest websites, it lowered barriers of access and turned the internet from a place where people talk about their interests into a place where most peoples hobby became 'being on the internet'.4chan is now primarily used by people who come here only to talk about what they saw on their social media platform of choice.Basically when it was overrun by boring faggots.
>>289057942Was vine edgy? Either way you're right.
>>289058045>interest platform has varied niche and therefore interesting shit on it>critical mass is reached where its overtaken by gaiafaggotry>opinion sours>repeatEven 4chan boards are going through this.
>>289058045Culture war bullshit. tumblr, for a time, was a massive funnel for SJW types. "Trigger warnings" first became big on tumblr. Then the tumblr leadership banned smut/porn and the whole thing died because turns out even SJWs like to jerk it to porn.
I miss Gendou
>>289058150Gaia is evil. It rapes every site.
>>289058045When tumblr banned porn alot of them moved to 4chan. /co/ is a good example of see how bad those faggota ruined it
>>289057495Fushigi Yuugi was huge back in the day.
>>289058124Not really? You were limited to 5 seconds so you had to be quick, so most of it was dumb shit and jokes.It's insane to think just how much it contributed to the short video format that every single social media is adopting now.
>>289058307I miss vine a lot. I never used it that much but it was awesome
>>289058267I'm so happy I don't watch cartoons. I would be so mad.
>>289056210Shit I only discovered this place and bittorrent in 2006..
>>289058670How?
>>289055819take me backhttps://web.archive.org/web/20071023052918/http://www.mahou.org/Showtime/Complete/
>>289055910when in doubt, always blame 2007
>>289058045Reddit used to be smaller and more niche, so its inherent faults hadn't pronounced themselves yet, but its rapid growth made its echo chamber nature stand out more
>>289058045>Reddit and 4chan also seemed yo be more friendly back in the day.What? Reddit was despised because they would come to 4chan to steal content and then claim it was there's for points, or whatever they call them over there. It was ebaumsworld 2.0.
>>289059052>normiesInstant self-report
>>289058161>and the whole thing diedIf only. The biggest reason for all the modern culture war faggotry was that after tumblr banned porn, all the tumblrcancer left their relatively obscure corner of the Internet and migrated to Twotter, where they started pushing their sjw autism on everyone from normalfags to journalists to the creators themselves. THAT was the true death of the Internet.
