Heres a trip down memory lane. Does anyone know what happened to the website?
He stopped paying for the domain. Everything somewhat socially related on 4chan dies due to newfag influx. The /k/ Steam Group died, the /k/ meetups died, and the weekend /k/ movie streams died. Schizos from /pol/ killed everything off with their constant shitposting and accusing everyone of being fed.
>>64487359Jesus that makes me feel old. I still remember getting my picture in the 2015 summer /k/lass photo. I also remember when kommandostore was nugget enterprises. Time flies...
>>64487359>>64487412I deeply miss pre-2016 election 4chan.
>>64487415>I deeply miss pre-2016 election 4chan.You and me both, buddy.
>>64487359/pol/ is incentivized not to gatekeep given what their board is about. it's /b/ but with an agenda, and the trash of the board spills over into everywhere else. but it's too late to try and bring back the culture of open hostility to newfags. i'm at least glad 4cc still kicks around though.
>>64487415>>64487421Theres that feeling on zzz. I miss mcniggerator and some of the old tripfags.
>>64487359>/k/ steam groupdamn. I miss playing Red Orchestra and Project Reality with the boys.
>>64488206Kys brown fag ot
/out/ still claims to be the progeny of /k/+/an/.
>>64487415>>64487421I miss pre-chanology 4chan
>>64488266>pre-chanologyWtf?
>>64487359Oldfag here, if you want a social community you have the rest of the internet, here we are anonymous.
>>64488273dumb newfaggot
>>64488275>>64488280>in their handstheir heads* lol
>>64488277You can't just make up nonsense words and expect to be understood faggot.
>>64488294https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=chanology
>>64488280I spent a few years on twice the chan and by the time I came back here that had already started,
>>64488292Samefag.
>>64488297I never went over there because it felt like even more a fed honeypot than this does.
>>64488301The mass censorship here really pissed me off, still does, it was clear m00t was selling with the way he cracked down on anything that made news.
>>64488304We might have to accept the fact that "Chris Poole" (if that's even his real name) was compromised from the start. I'm just glad Lowtax is dead.
>>64487415>pre-2016 election 4chan.All this happened with Sandy Hook
only newfags think this place wasn't always a shithole and your new is showing
>>64488313It happened with the Breitbart / Bannon organized gamergate nonsense. Even back in 2014 I was correctly pointing out that the real issue with games journalism is AAA games colluding with the big outlets, not some salacious story about some indie developer whore fucking some nobody writers. American politics has followed that template ever since.
>>64488314I liked /b/ in 2006, but then again I was 12/13.
>>64488311Nah, m00t was just a teenaged weeb that cloned 2chan and when he got old enough to care about a career he had to offload it because normies don't actually like free speech.As for Lowtax I never used SA and couldn't care less either way.>>64488314>was never goodThis was a good meme in 2007 now it's just denying reality, captcha art was the last hurrah.
>>64488317What template?>>64488325Maybe. I don't know.
>>64488317>some salacious story about some indie developer whore fucking some nobody writers.The problem was the massive media collusion that followed it, faggot. Gamers are over et al.>>64488325nigger alfred
>>64488329>What template The one where the actual economic collusion and corruption are ignored in favor of culture war shitflinging.
>>64488317>real issue with games journalism is AAA games colluding with the big outletsWhy is this a surprise to so many people? This is the story with EVERY type of niche journalism, and always has been. A 1980's magazine about woodworking tools was the exact same thing: the reviewers were in bed with the companies making the tools.
>>64488330see>>64488332There's a direct line from Gamergate to the ongoing Epstein coverup.
>>64488332When politicans are for sale they really don't want you to pay attention to the money.
>>64488339Amen brother. I'm glad there's at least one other non-retarded non-shill still here.
>>64488338Its not about some whore who fucked some retarded forevervigins but the media collusion between 'independent' journalists that started reporting a common invented narrative. That's what opened a lot of eyes. Journalists ignoring reality and constructing their own narratives.
>>64488345And all of that is secondary to the fact that AAA developers collude with major publications and pay for reviews. Gamergate served its purpose by distracting from that.
>>64488338>There's a direct line from Gamergate to the ongoing Epstein coverup.GG was Publishers bribing people for good reviews schizo-kun
>>64488350Gamergate did the exact opposite, it showed gaming journalists are corrupt faggots. I have no idea how your reasoning is working here.
>>64488345>>64488350GG was great because it opened a lot of peoples eyes to the fact the media is a for profit business that pushes narratives rather than facts.Then it was hijacked by retards (or literal shills) to turn the narrative into culture war BS.
>>64488354Nope, the entire story was focused on indie developers and indie reviewers, successfully taking the heat off of the big dogs. You got played like a fiddle lol
>>64488345>Journalists ignoring reality and constructing their own narratives.Nothing new about that.
>>64488357The hijacking happened basically as soon as the whole thing started. And what change did it bring to the industry? Absolutely none.
>>64488359>major gaming sites went bankrupt over indie gameswhatever dude
>>64488365The failure of many companies across the journalistic landscape had nothing to do with gamergate lol
>>64488361>And what change did it bringIt taught a lot of /v/irgins the media can't be trusted which is a good thing.>to the industryNone, they know they can weather any storm by just shutting up and letting the consumers forget.>>64488365Most of the big ones were killed by civil lawsuits because the "journalists" were so use to ignoring ethics they forgot some are enforced by law.
>>64488367>>64488372Gaming journos and sites died from YouTube reviews and gameplay, why read an article or visit a site when your para-social channel will post it for free
>>64488372>>64488367>Most of the big ones were killed by civil lawsuits because the "journalists" were so use to ignoring ethics they forgot some are enforced by law.Only Gawker (Hulk Hogan), the rest went bankrupt due to drop of viewrship and ad revenu making them unsustainable.
>>64488373>why read an article or visit a site when your para-social channel will post it for freeBecause I can read an article much, much, faster than listening to some E-celeb regurgitate opinions.
>>64488373>>64488374True, the sad thing is half the youtubers still shill because the game hasn't changed, if you want views you need an early review copy and if you give bad reviews you won't get any review copies in future.I have pretty much given up on AAA at this point but thanks to Unity, Godot and steam the indie scene is better than ever.
>>64488374And this happened to tons of companies that had nothing to do with gaming. Gamergate did nothing but funnel collective energy into nonsense by being half right and then subverting the truth with a narrative that serves the powerful, just like QAnon a few years later.
>>64488378QAnon was always a shitposter than prayed on retards, I was on twice chan from day 1 and saw him recruit astroturfers before kicking off.Imagine 10 unemployed anons deciding they are going to astroturf a 1000pph board and that's what happened. That said it was pretty funny seeing facebook boomers end up on an imageboard where a popular webm at the time was a tranny fisting their ass while telling their mom who is in the same room that Nostradamus was full of shit.
>>64488377>because the game hasn't changed, if you want views you need an early review copy and if you give bad reviews you won't get any review copies in future.Exactly.And this isn't new. This applied to magazines in the 1950's just as much as it applies to social media today. You think that [Auto Company] is going to give [Car Magazine] their latest model to review, after the magazine called out the problems with their last model a few issues back? No way.
>>64487239What blew up this time?
>>64488378>Gamergate did nothing but funnel collective energy into nonsenseI don't think I've ever read a more poignant summary of social media as a whole.+1 internets to you, sir.
>>64488280>The lack of persistent identities is literally breaking their brains and turning them into paranoid schizophrenicskek, this
>>64487415/k/ went to shit with generals in 2013
>>64487443The thread 404'd, either due to nukeschizo or the jannies mass deleting shit from spam, before I could find out how we did on Sunday. Are we through?
>>64489367>how we did on SundayIt was a loss. You can always check implyingrigged.info for the wiki and implying.fun for the video on demand to watch.
>>64488206This poster is a confirmed redditor. He desperately tries to conceal his pathological ziggerhood behind a facade of /k/ oldfag status, but the reality is that he's a redditfugees and a severely disgruntled russia worshipper.>>64488280>>64488292blatant and cringy samefag.
>>64489194Generals really killed this whole site.
>>64488374>GawkerRest in piss
>>64487415OPchan is never coming back, are they?
>>64488259Both are inherently homosexual and autistic, so that checks out.
>>64488304All mods should have been hunted down and murdered after the hack.
>>64488314It used to be infinitesimally better. Ukraine was the last nail. /fit/ is the board that really went to shit.
>>64487415>/r/the_donald fagsregardless of their political beliefs, all redd*tors are damaging to every single internet community they migrate/flee to.
>>64488317The problem is both advertisements being disguised as journalism AND women being allowed to work.

>>64491095That's not much better
>>64491071I doubt it.
>>64491071>>64492399I'm still here buddy, just posting from upside down land. This thread has been refreshing and reminds me of the /k/ of old with minimal shit flinging. I might dig out my old external hard drive and dump some infographics I saved years ago if anyone is interested.
>>64493778Yes please!
>>64493778That is the traditional thing to do in nostalgic threads lamenting the loss of the past, that or post every old image macro you have
>>64493878>>64493815Alright guys, I just got home from work. Give me some time to dig it out.
>>64495800Turns out I am retarded and it isn't on an old hard drive but on my old computer at my parents house. Hopefully this thread is still alive in 48 hours.
>>64488294Holy shit, you should fuck right off.
>>64495835boingis this old computer running > msdox
>>64498730Last time I checked it was, albeit slowly. Fingers crossed the old girl still goes.
>>64495835>>64499853bump for interestalso, the joke was the captcha, so your computer was msdox, which gave me a chuckle at the time
>>64487415Occasionally, when I'm with two or three friends, I'll say something like this: >We're pretty smart guys, how do we fix it? What's the plan?>How do we fix what?>Anything. Everything. The [hobby], the [community], the [world]Sometimes the answer is a shitpost or joke, sometimes it's serious. We haven't come up with a solution to the problem yet.

>>64487415>deeply miss pre-2016 election 4chan.I deeply miss pre-2016 election internet
>>64488266pedo>>64488294just get your coat and leave newfag
>>64488266I dressed up and dragged my girlfriend along. We got hit on by a legit QT and took her home. Shit was so cash. I don't think chanology ruined the website, but I get where the anti-moralfag and srs-bsns thing comes from - I'm just sure it wasn't chanology that made this place bitter, morally righteous and serious all the time, because it happened to the whole internet not just here.
>>64488273>>64488294Lose your iPod and become an hero.
>>64503136Season 3 soon anon
>>64487415I was here and one day some cute little fuck pig got on the time cover and even though she makes my dick throb, she fucked everything up.*You won't be leaving*
>>64488322/b was better, at least they could pull shit off, now it's just porn reposts. Back then you'd learn shooping and spoofing and looping directly layered security and fusking photobuckets and real elbow grease doxxing.Actually /k became more capable during San Bernadino tracking unmarked planes and geolocating the suspects when the FBI couldn't.
>>64487239>Nex AleaTinges my tism every single time."Nex Alea" literally means "Murder, Cube", not "murder cube" in the sense of "cube of murder", because that would be "Alea Necis". "Nex Alea" is just a completely random nonsensical string of words like "Clockwork Chestnut" or "OP is not a faggot".
>>64488393link the webm?
>>64488266Chanology was fucking dope. Some of the funniest shit I've ever seen on 4chan before and since. Epic win and fail both in equal measure.The kids in this picture are now in their 30s.
>>64499853Fuck I have a 386 or 486 some where, I wonder if the games still work.
>>64504245Oh no the exposed way fucking arrogant whores with fusked photobuckets was funny. Trying to ho it up without consequences.
