>>15061604Everyone already knows that you dumbass.
huh, that time of the year already
Why don't people post slowpokes anymore?
>>291280058It's been a year already?Damn.
>>291280058>I'm 31 and still on this website Crazy. Happy birthday two other anons that share today.
>we're coming up on twenty years from the original postfuck me
>>29128145132 herei wanna kys myself
>>291280620I feel like the vast majority of early 4chan memes/posting habits have been written off by zoomers as cringe millenial/reddit humor. Which, in a way, is a bit ironic.
>>291281528to be fair all the oldfags migrated to reddit and took their memes with them
>>291280058>iconic 4chan tradition>only 7 posts>mfw
I am also old enough to understand that reference.
>>291281600It's a monday in the middle of work hours, unfortunately 4channel became wagies.
>>291281598I've been here since 05 or 06 and I'm not going anywhere.4chan4life, FUCK reddit, FUCK ebaumsworld, FUCK gaia
>>29128145140 here, been on 4chan half my life since I was 20
>>291281647not like it matters, they all in turn left reddit for discord, and are in the process of leaving discord as we speak
>>291280058Oh my fuck I think the last time I saw this post was like 10 years ago.
>>291281797They're weak
>>291281600>>291281641Most of 4chan is bots now, there's barely any humans left.
>>291281600Don't worry this thread will be deleted soon anyway
>>291281822humans evolved to migrate in constant search of greener pastures
>>291281853either bots, or shilling pajeetsI'm pretty certain two out of three posts on /a/ are from shills. most of the threads are pretty much just adsif it weren't for the scanlation threads and live TL threads I'd probably be gone
>>291280620Nobody uses images to make or amplify their post anymore. Used to be a good bread or reply would get a boat load of reaction images to follow it.
>>291281965A lot of the old reaction images got stale, fell out of use, and never got replaced by newer ones. I blame phone posting. It's harder to make and organize reactions images on a phone or tablet. Even if you have a store of reaction images on your computer, you're often left without it by shitposting on the go.
>>291282053also this >>291281453it's been nearly 20 years since the original postpeople who don't understand will see this in the catalog and just pass it by as shitposting or an injoke they're not privy to
My gf status is still the same as 20 years ago
>>291282106>tfw no gf
>>291280620Old internet is dead and humor is outlawed or seen as "reddit".
>>291282053Phones ruined the internet. Now every fucking retard can spout their bullshit and low effort thoughts whenever and wherever they please. Fuck phones, I will never use one for 4chan. When I want to internet I set time aside to sit at my computer, in my house, and use the internet properly.
>>291280058fuck you crawl back into your hole you posted it last week>>291282106congratulations on your happy marriage, now that the kids are in college your sex life is probably getting more active again
>>291280058I wonder how many different people have made this thread over the years.There's no way the original poster is still alive.
>>291281965reaction images still exist but they became more tribal, so almost no one posts non-anime ones on /a/
>>291282053>and never got replaced by newer onesWhen was the last time there was a prominent, widespread meme here? Or on the site in general? It feels like that kinda shit just doesn't happen anymore. The last I can think of was circa 2020, it's like we've reached a new era of stagnation in the past 5 years or so.
>>291281598>all the oldfags migrated to reddit
>>291282177>100% death within 20 yearswhatis this a reference to that the new cultural zeitgeist within the younger crowd who all believe that everybody drops dead the minute they turn 30?
>>291282194Chainsawman ending.Memes live like 5 minutes in modern internet until the next one appears.
>>291281688I'll be there in a few weeks.
>>291282242to that new*
>>291280058in 2 years it will be the 20th anniversary of this post
>>291282179
>>291282194"Slop" as a generic term used for anything low quality is probably the last widespread "meme" from 4chan, and even then it's just a broadening of the meaning of an existing word.
>>291282395That's what a meme is. Cuck was also that way. Hell the word meme was broadened.
i'm 2013 oldfag.
>>291280058I think you tried to link a post that doesn't exist. Might wanna double check that next time, buddy.
>>291282462It still comes up in the archive for me, pal.
>>291282194Most memes have very limited application. I think the problem is less that there aren't new memes, but less opportunities to use them. When will I ever be able to Farnsworthpost outside of a JoJo thread? Not never, but not often either. Everybody wants to be the one to post the meme, but nobody wants to be to be memed on.At the same time, people seem to have become protective of their memes, and not without reason. And what value is there really in a sitewide meme?
>>291281965When you post a reaction image nowadays you have an autist assume that you're somehow the #1 fan of the series/manga/game/media the image belongs to and he just starts seething about that insteadLike you save a funny looking animal girl and someone blows up on you because "durr hurr fucking Xfags" and I don't even know where she's from dude it's just a reaction image
>>291280058Man, I can't wait for the 10th anniversary of this post
>>291282447Fill me up newfag.
>>291282436I like this meme
>>291282508I've been called an avatarfag for using reaction images like 4 times in the last year which isn't a lot but pretty sad.
>>291282508You know what used to prevent that. Posting in more then one thread and using the reaction image regularly. And calling that anon a faggot.>>291282536Just call them a retard and move on.
>>291282520Heroman, good timesBack when anime originals were more commonSigh
>>291281598No those oldfags either migrated to insular private discord servers, IRC, or became proper normalfags. Just the way it is.
>>291282194>it's like we've reached a new era of stagnation in the past 5 years or soI've been called a newfag numerous times despite browsing this shithole for 18 years, everyday there's at least one "remember when" thread like this, not to mention lurk moar this and lurk moar that instead of just explaining to newfriends what the fuck you are talking about, all the old good new bad shit pushes people willing to do OC away to normalfag places like twitter or tiktok where they can even make money off making OC. We are stuck in the past, simple as that.
>>291282572We unironically need anime to be just pure shit for a solid year with only 1-2 board wide events. Mushoku Tensei is the closest I've seen this place get to touching the old /a/. Just pure chaos, memes and threads taking over the whole page.>>291282614lurk moar newfag
>>291282637>Mushoku Tensei is the closest I've seen this place get to touching the old /a/. Just pure chaos, memes and threads taking over the whole pageSadly, I really, really want to remain unspoiled, since I know the full series will be adapted. I'd rather see stuff happen than read about it in passing on some shitty thread.Now, Dodge Danko threads, despite being a manga adaption, it still had some old /a/ energy in the one (1) weekly thread the show had.
>>291282610This and they are faggots for doing it. That said Giant Attack ruined this board for years. Still don't understand why they didn't fly Bird Erin to the basement.
>>291280058How has it been another year already?I'm turning 43 in less than 3 weeks, fuck...
>>291281797Where are they going now?
>>291282731Damn it's hard to remember but there was a time where you would get on /a/ at 5pm est on a Friday Night and this place was a party. Just a shitpost bonanza no one gave a fuck about muh quality threads or muh stupid shit. Just a party.
>>291282674Dodge Danko was such a great throwback style. Breath of fresh air.
>>291281965>>291280620Newfags mods bans you if you post an "off-topic" reaction image.A lot of the decline of 4chan is squarely on the shoulders on the moderation of the site. It's pretty evident that it's intentional and carried through malicious compliance (overbearing adherence to the letter but not the spirit) by duplicitous actors. When the 4chan had a blackout last day I saw the tenshi thread getting nuked.
>>291282447>2013>oldfagTruly the last era of tolerable newfags.
>>291280058was waiting for this
>>291282819We've always had shitty mods I am tired of that excuse. Those crybabies whine about /sp/ being mean to them and having PTSD from hotpockets.
>>291282819Like you said, the mods being newfags too is a fucking crime. And most bans nowadays are those faggot 3-day timeouts where you can't appeal.
since this thread has posts about certain fags posting, i think the u w a posts might be a bot
>>291282912Part of the problem is that cap was made in a precaptcha era. >>291282968This place is full of bots... we all might be bots. A living internet of bots talking to bots.
>>291283021i admittedly have higher suspicion of posts with older filenamesyou damned bot!
>>291283110I'M A BOT AND I'M FREE!
>>291283021Stay in your lane meatbag
>don't work in retail anymore>work as a substitute teacher, almost done with my education in religion & philosophy>not a comic artist but do write stories for fun>together with gf for 5 years now>Love God more than myself>It's actually becoming more acceptable to say faggot>One Piece is approaching its end and is goodWe're all gonna make it bros>>291280058
>>291283155>>291283222BOT UPRISING!!!
>>291283232Godspeed anon, glad to see this
>>291283248Thank you brother. God bless you and hope you have a comfy evening
>>291282892We had borderline non-existing moderation that would only show their faces to delete CP (and not always even that).Pre-captcha 4chan was a completely different website.
>>291282819A newfag mod on /tg/ protects a known redditor spammer named puckee21 and has banned people for pointing it out, they even censored puckee21 on the board
i actually wonder what a 4chinchin style bot mod would be likeat least get rid of damned frogposting on the board
>>291283357Used to be there would be a borderline rebellion. With anon making memes about puckee21 having sex with the mod. It wouldn't fix anything but the board would be united.
>>291283390It's annoying for different reasons.
>>29128145134 year old here, I started browsing this shit hole when I was fucking 14. What a disease this place has become.
