Where are all the oldfags?
>>106664104The oldtroons joined /a/ and /hm/
either killed themselves or started a family
Wouldn't be surprised if they've passed away from suicide and lifestyle diseases.
>>106664104you're here for ever>>106664129none of the above, got a business and 2 dogs though
>>106664132Nah I'm still here I'm too pussy to off myself. I know there's nothing after so may as well stick around to see what happens and laugh at normies suffering
>>1066641914chan is normie site
>>106664122>>106664129>>106664132>>106664133>>106664104I've been asking myself this question for a while. Online communities are ALWAYS young zoomers. Most people in their early 20s, often younger than that, 25-30 is rare, 30+ is nonexistent. Why? Where are all the boomers? And where do all the grown up zoomers go? How do they all magically disappear once they turn 25? Is it really either start a family or kill yourself type of deal?
>>106664200>Where are all the boomers? And where do all the grown up zoomers go? How do they all magically disappear once they turn 25? Is it really either start a family or kill yourself type of deal?they grow up, realize that being an adult comes with responsibilities that require more of your attention, and you drift away from gay basket-weaving forums like this. And that's the best-case scenario. Worst-case is you never leave and become even more of a useless degenerate drain on society
All those Day-Glo freaks who used to paint the faceThey've joined the human raceSome things will never change
>>106664104You should stop assuming everyone is your age, kid.

>>106664104I'm right here, nigger, but I post rarely.
>>106664104I'm here

Not a clue>>106664482I miss /ib/
>>106664104Idk for some reason I got bored of this board a few years ago and left.I just came back now to check what's the atmosphere now.Back then, threads with your setup had the same pics for months.. Is it still the same?
>>106664104>>106664200its just became too shit.captcha for every post was the turning point, but advertisement spam and ai slope was the last strawpeople with a few functioning braincells don't want to be here anymore
>>106664104ancient fag hereim chillin as the youngins say
>>106664104Some of them still have the decency of lurking without posting maybe, it's kind of unwritten ethics of the old internet. Not that 4chins have ever been ethical but you know, it's a courtesy. >>106665301Same here. I usually go to other imageboards, can't find a better way to interact online. Also there's a lot of tech being discussed I don't care for like smartphones and baseddev in general. The rest is just plain uninteresting discussion.
>>106664104currently im on the toilet
Still here and been here all summer.
>Where are all the oldfags?Busy running the government and such.
Reminder there are adults younger than the iPhone and Windows Vista. There are people who see the 1990s as the 1950s were to millennials.

>>106666162>tranimeYour newfaggotry is showing. No, oldfags did not become trannies.You wish they did because that would justify your zoomer trannyfaggotry. In reality, you are the cancer, you are the reason why so many millennial communities are falling apart. Because you can't just stfu and lurk moar, you need to make everything about yourself, about your sexual identity and whatever current thing you care about.You will never be accepted and you will never be one of us
>>106664200the internet got dystopian and boring together.also, 4chan is only retarded children now who do rage bait.i read more and watch tv. i became a boomer.
>>106664104They all got rich from bitcoin
I'm here but I fucking hate this site, unfortunately it is all that is left.
>>106664104I'm still here, but I only go on /g/ maybe once a month now to look at /bst/ and not much else. Covid ruined this place (as if it wasn't already ruined before then).>>106664200>Online communities are ALWAYS young zoomersI find the opposite to be true, everywhere I go it's mostly people that are 27 or older. The zoomers you're thinking of are mostly on Instagram or TikTok where they can cosplay what hobbies they pretend to have.
>>106664200>Where are all the boomers?Facebook and/or niche subreddits
>>106664104You mean the only generation on the internet taught and raised to be anonymous because we were all told to not put any identifying information on it are all also the ones that are really hard to notice?Golly.
>>106666915there has been enough bullshit online to still learn not to put any identifying information online in the last few years alone. Stupidity is not to be underestimated thoughever
>>106664104Dead

does the old IRC still work?
All of the oldfags moved to /cm/
>>106664200most people in their 30s ruin their lives by getting married and by having kids so you don't see them online anymore. I'm single with no kids in my thirties and a quick analysis of my friend/family/work circles and I only see alcoolism and depression even for people with power/money/happy wife/kid.all their troubles started with marriage/birth, every fucking time. their entire existences are scheduled around other people now, they can't live for themselves anymore.I understand deadbeat dads who don't want to deal with kids and a woman, it's a waste of your time on this rock, imagine living 80 years or more but wasting good chunks of it caring about other people, I'd rather kms.Most animals don't live long enough to reproduce, those who do are living in this hellish survival of the fittest world trying not to die a gruesome death, that's not the case for about 2 billions humans on this planet, we have all the time and energy to do whatever the fuck we want so why the hell would I give up all this incredibly rare and priceless freedom for raising kids and sharing my bed with someone else I can't even really trust to have my back anyways.there are enough people to do the fucking abd breading, I don't need to participate in this shit.
>>106664104>>106664200I'm almost 40, but I don't have kids and I think that's the big difference.From what I see around me, when my friends have kids, that's the moment they started "disappearing", or rather, showing up more rarely.
Leftover board. It's over.
>>106664200You should check out /vr/. It's not as great as it was when the board first launched, but it's nothing but people in their 30's and 40's
>>106664200Young people always dominate online communities because they have the most free time and haven't discussed everything to death yet.This drives out older users because you can only read the same beginner threads and 20 year old arch vs ubuntu flamewars so many times before you lose interest. They move on to more specialized technical forums where you can have non-beginner discussion.

>>106670720Well being in your 30's when you start to have a family means you have no "young people" energy.
>>106664104>Where are all the oldfags?Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?>>106664129I started a family with a biological woman (female) and I'm still here. >>106666162I never really cared about tranime. >>106670801>most adult with kids are ugly and mentally illBoth true in my case>we need to bring back natural selection Natural selection is always present at some form or another.
>>106669504>all their troubles started with marriage/birth, every fucking timeThis very much. But just having toxic gf/bf can be enough to ruin someone.A friend landed in psych ward few weeks ago after years of relationship full of abuse and drugs.Another got pregnant with a narcissistic, abusive guy who told her to cut contact with everyone and drop all hobbies unrelated to him.Another jumps from one relationship to another, getting treated like shit and acting more and more emotionally unhinged as this goes on.Another got so depressed after gf kept cheating at him he now can't get any and is soaking all shitpillmaxxing shit.That's the nerdy kind endgame apparently. The more normie ones often disappear to kids like you say. Planned or not, eventually comes time when they find themselves in situation where they no longer afford typical activities, parties, events as kid enters the picture. They seem to miss these things, but dunno if they are depressed. I guess I am not interested enough to justify going on an awkward coffee visit or to walk a dog with them in park, just to ask that.
>>106664200I'm 30yo and still on 4chan, and will always be here because i have nowhere else to go
>>106664104You act like there is a constant age indicator on every post.Truth is, nobody knows how old anyone is. And it doesnt really matter either way, hence the whole anonymous thing.
>>106671794>where they no longer afford typical activities, parties, events as kid enters the picture.it's crazy, my boss who has double my income, has 3 kids, two hockey players, one skate dancing or some shit, all his money goes toward these activities, he roams the country during weekend having 0 life for himself, his car broke down and he does not have the money to get something decent, he is barely putting money for his retirement, house not paid yet.yeah he pays the same as me in taxes but I save half my salary every month and I have so much free time outside work.what's even the point of living when you're a wagie the day and your family slave the rest of the time? death seems more fun than this absolute hell.>They seem to miss these things, but dunno if they are depressedfrustration builds up as you can't do what you like, it's inevitable. One friend lost his shackles (divorce) and he came back to 40 hours gaming weeks with the members of the group with freedom (we all work btw), gained weight again, slept well again, could afford hardware/games again and could go out to eat with us whenever the fuck he wanted again. I've also seen this in older generations, divorce mostly lead to happiness for men, especially for men with hobbies.>I guess I am not interested enough to justify going on an awkward coffee visit or to walk a dog with them in park, just to ask that.yeah performative empathy is disgusting, never do that. it takes 0 effort to maintain a good friendship, if it starts to require some then it's a sign that it's time to move on, if they don't call you, you have zero reason to call them, it's a two-way street, no one should have to make the first move otherwise it's a forced, most likely superficial relationship, maybe for personal gains of various nature.
>>106664104Just happened to pass by. I'm 35, and and oldfag that was around in the site's first few years and an "IT professional". I mostly browsed on /b/ back thenAnyways, this board is an utter mess, not just because of the tech and programming mix mess, but everyone seems to be tech retards here. Also the fact that most massive boards on here are practically unusable and have been for years. Too much retards, too much raids, too much trolling/baiting faggots. We'll never have the old 4chan and Internet back and even if we did somehow manage that, everyone still else are... How to even say properly. We have exhausted everything to talk about, absolutely everything sucks ass now, tech is stagnant and gay and we've all been long since been bitter and tired, so it really wouldn't get better anywaysGoddamn do I miss the old web
>>106670584>move on to more specialized technical forums where you can have non-beginner discussion.That's the most important part desu.At some point you really start to specialize and quickly outgrow generally available information. But visiting general forums helps to stay updated - tech constantly changes and I got too many colleagues whose knowledge cutout point is 10 years ago.I consider them knowledge hating normies.
>>106664191Except there is ton of evidence for reincarnation.
>>106664242All the boomers I know watch more retarded slop than zoomers do
>>106664200I'm still around. The internet is fake and gay now. Not nearly as fun as it used to be back in the day.
>>106664122 >>106664199>>106664837>>106670659My little Anonymous can't be THIS drugged!>>106668225>thoughevereww, get out
>>106664200/b/ is porn spam and underage kids avatarfagging. 4chan pass isn't worth it because it's a subscription service, instead of a one-time fee. i've gotten very bored of reading and posting on imageboards. i moved to shitposting in FYAD on the something awful forums because surprisingly that website is still around and most of the time has interesting discussions and shitposting. you just gotta pay a lot of money once for an account with all the features, lurk before posting, and don't break any rules, and you most likely won't get banned. the moderation is also a shit ton more aggressive than anywhere on reddit, which is objectively good because it weeds out the retards fast.
Can't post. Going to bed. I got stuff to do tomorrow.
>paying to shitpostgrim.
>>106672266I know, but these are the kinds of sacrifices us early 20 year olds and older need to make to keep the internet as funny and interesting as it mostly used to be in the 2000s.
>>106672750Social media and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race. We seriously have to go back to imageboards like 4chan and old forums like GameFAQS and Something Awful.
>>106672755sorry, but i meant to say its instead of it's because i am very drunk rn lol.
>>106664129Started a family but I still post from to time
>>106672769yeah, having a family is NO excuse for not continuing to troll on edgy websites like 4chan.
>>106672772I should add that FYAD on Something Awful is unironically fucking awesome if you want to experience 2006 and earlier-era /b/ humor without any of the low-quality retardation. It's definitely worth it to pay $10, plus the additional $30 to pay for all the forum upgrades, to post in there. You just to have to spend at least three years lurking in FYAD before you post in there, so you don't get shit on for making posts that aren't funny.
>>106672794For any jannies, mods, or Hiro reading this, I seriously promise that this is genuine advice for people looking for old school /b/ humor in this day and age, not advertising or begging. Please do not ban me for this.
>>106672794>is a furry>is sincerely recommending paying the 10buxanon...
>>106672803yeah, it is a shell of it's former self nowadays, but some of its forums are still edgy and funny, like FYAD and imp zone.
>>106672807EDIT: shit i did it again.
At the end of the day, I still have me and the rest of you terminally online nerdy and socially awkward guys on 4chan to hang out with, and that's all that really matters to me. You are here forever, after all.
>>106672820thisi think communities could definitely survive if 4chan definitely died off though
When I was growing up 4chan and the rest of the internet were intelligent, ambitious but nerdy dudes. The discussion and even the trolling has a certain level of intelligence behind it. They weren't losers, just terminally online.Somewhere along the line 4chan became a place for failures, fuckups and ambition less losers. This is when the frogs came, oc disappeared and the place got uninteresting. Then third worlders started to dominate and it was truly over.The thing is that all the normalfags mass migrated to the internet and now the internet is for normalfags. The real secret is that IRL is now for us oldfag nerds. Normalfags left real life weirdly enough, do things like hiking, volunteering or anything else that has no online equivalent and you will find out all the people doing so are the exact oldfag types. So in a way the world has flipped from the 90s and early 2000s. Now IRL is the cool place with all the interesting people. And online are all the normalfags.
>>106672849Yeah, it truly feels like real life has gone back to the early 70's for oldfags and early zoomer terminally online nerds like myself.
>>106672849hiking and volunteering were always for nerds
