What was this board like when it first started?In your opinion has it improved over the years or gotten worse?What were you doing in 2013? Has your life gotten better or worse since then?Anyone you miss from here or IRL from back in the day?Archives are kind of spotty on the start of here. AoS doesn't start covering the board till 2014 and moe doesn't start till late 2015.Today is kind of a random day to be having this thread so I don't have any great images for this exact date. I wasn't using this site back then so my only memories of 2013 are getting pissed at bronze lobbies in LoL
in 2013 i was a methamphetamine and /lit/ user to cope with being a repper. now i use this faget post-/new/ containment board bc i am a gay manmoder
>>44339523actual methamphetamine?thats a bit hardcore
>>44339501It was gayer, although trannies took over quickly. Fewer tourists, not surprising with all of the public shit. I think tripfagging and attention whoring was even more common. Even more lesbian/straight fighting between trannies, t4t was not talked about nearly as much because we were so few and far between.
>>44339614i mean, the adderall i was blowing is basically walter white pure meth, chemically speaking. just a much purer version of what the honkies brew in their trailers. but, no, not "actual" meth like what gives you plank teeth and visions of snakes flying at your head
>>44339501I haven't been around that long to be honest. I started browsing /lgbt/ about four years ago, when I was seriously questioning my gender. I guess it was way chiller? feels like the whole board is tourists now, chimping out about le evil gays and troons.
I wonder what % of the board today was even here back in 2013Probably not many seems like its mostly zoomers here and not too many old peeps stick around to do the mentorship thingI can't find any damn photos of men everything on GB is just chicks. Nobody drew cute boys or bothered to upload them before 2018?>>44339722Gayer how?What were the trans people like before all the brainworms and the blanchard stuff and all that?Kinda wish there were more trips today though not in the attention whore kind of way. I think a lof of old good posters used to put on a trip every now and then from what I've seen in other boards archives
>>44339830Ah yeah so less /tttt/, there were actually some cis gay people posting here.Brainworms were always there in some form, just the terminology has shifted really lol. AGP stuff is ultimately rather old too and discussed about already I feel like.Feels like it wasn't that different but I'm old with a poor memory I guess. Fewer tourists whining but that's not surprising noone knew about trannies then.
It was mostly bi men. I was cishet but was interested in / lgbt / because I had an interest in psychology. Used yahoo answers before that. I should have trooned out than but I didn't think I was true trans.
>>44339946>I should have trooned outboard should be named /ishto/
The only boys i have so far are GIRUGAMESHH and whoever this other guy isnever seen fate never gonna see fate>>44339804>I started browsing /lgbt/ about four years agoEven for as new as I am you are super new. Four years is nothing on the timescale of boards.It sucked then and super sucks dick now. I was here a few years before coof but not nearly at the start and you basically never saw the actual board if we use 2020 as a cutoff>>44339901Gays are kinda rare on the board ouside of the gens now and even then...Shame about the bainworms but maybe some things are eternal>>44339946>Used yahoo answers before thathow's your back doing gramps?
>>44340038>how's your back doing gramps?I'm going to see a Nero surgeon tomorrow for a mild disc bulge in my lower spine. I think that coupled with the blood thinner known as Spironolactone made me lose my ability to use my left leg for a week because of lack of circulation.
>>44339501You can read the archives. I read a post from early 2010s discussing what the most HSTS coded song was vs Shania Twain - I Feel Like A Woman was the most AGP
>>44340148>You can read the archives>>44339501>Archives are kind of spotty on the start of here. AoS doesn't start covering the board till 2014 and moe doesn't start till late 2015.Also why deprive us of the nostalgia thread anyways? Not like anything interesting is happening on the board otherwise. Outside of generals this is probably one of only a dozen or so decent threads on the board ATM>>44340098That sounds like it could be bad buddy I hope it turns out okay and it isn't too expensive
>>44339501I miss the old puppy/kitty girl threads. It was a nice break from the rampant white supremacist posts. Much better than the ai boymoder slop now.>nostalgic waves of kitty and puppy brained nonsense
>>44339501I was in 3rd grade and wouldn't know what 4chan was for like 4 more years
>>44340038I don't mind not having seen the board as it was back in 2020, I'm sure browsing 4chan wouldn't have been very good for an already traumatized and stupid 16 year old
>>44342041>16 in 2020¡ay caramba! onions viejo
i remember reading /lgbt/ when it first opened and was bored as fuck. in retrospect that was probably a good thing.
>>44339501I was introduced /b/ in like 2006 but didn't care cause I was a young teen. I don't even know how I made it back here in 2012, especially to /lgbt/ cause I had no interest in "anything gay." Found out what being a tranny was and had to speedrun the whole process of being an egg, cracking and getting onto hrt in about 6 months to still be considered a "youngshit" (early 20s transition). Felt like a whole bunch of dudes 20-40 yrs old in dark rooms taking selfies and figuring out literally every aspect of passing or being trans one at a time. It was like transgenderism never existed before 2010. Who do I miss? In a way Robin. I don't think I ever really talked to her but her very open eyes and cane made her very distinctive. I definitely don't miss Skull-chan though.>>44339830I think they're mostly gone. I came back because my transition was a failure and apparently I want to torture myself looking at how well passing almost all the zoomers here are. The blanchard stuff was here right from the start, but even as a pack of hons us millennials were kinder to ourselves and eachother... we were also more honest too. This board is so shit now I can't believe it's not bots.
>>44339501in 2013 I would lurk here there was a lot more gays back then I also was playing league and I was gold way back in 2013 lol I remember more of like 2015/2016 /tttt/ when caraposter and crew were around /tttt/ got better imo but my life got worse
>>44339501i'm not that old but even 4,5,6,7 years ago it was infinitely better
In 2013 I was 12 and having my first thoughts about trooning out. The past couple of years I had recurring dreams where I was always a girl, some of them I strangled my male self in as well, really weird looking back. But at 12 I had started to have interest in guys and was very disappointed I couldn’t date boys. At 13 I found out about trooning and decided I wanted to when I could.
>>44339501most trans ppl were actually trans, chasers weren't tolerated, didn't have a fucking general, there weren't 50 faketrans generals. it's gotten much much worse
dude gelbooru doesn't even hit 2013 till a million seven hundred thousand something images deepthis is january third 2013>>44342501Yeah I imagine there isn't much reason for oldfriends to stick around I guessstill unfortunate that so many of them are gone.For how few trans people seem to have been here in 2013 I wonder where they would have been on the net in that time. Tumblr?>I definitely don't miss Skull-chan thoughThat name is going on the homework assignment list. No idea who the fuck that is but I bet dotmoe can tell me>>44342616Gold in league felt like god status to me having been in bronze lobbies>>44342727I don't think I had even fully figured out I was bi by the time I was 12
>>44339501I was on here in 2013.It was pretty much all AGP/HSTS thread debates. Very little discussion of hrt or how to transition. I left and came back in 2018 or so and it was much better
>>44343216I thought I was good back then too, but realistically I was just playing old Fiora. I ended up getting pretty good at league by wasting wayyyy to much time on it though. I don't have any old pictures from /lolg/ because I've been through 2 computers since then.
i used to hang out on /cd/ on 420chan before this board existed. probably the only elder around from those days
>>44343574I wish I found /cd/ and 420chan instead of rotting away on /b/ /r9k/ and /v/ I feel like if I trooned out in my teens things would've ended up better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>44343593i repped for years even after trapping there so it didnt help much
>>44343593you'll live this same life the same way over and over again forever
shame that leftypol didn't reinstate 420 when they bought the domain
>>44339501it got way worse but somehow also less toxic, there's just nothing going on here, literal slop boardit used to be a place where you could get really honest trauma dumps and it completely disappeared after the pandemic, i miss that a lot, I don't think there's another place like that now. i don't think there are any places where i can kinda relate to people in general >Anyone you miss from here or IRL from back in the day?i wonder about a lot of randos like what happened to that Brooklyn pooner that was dating another poonreppper. last time i checked he got lyme and was talking how he'd never do heroin, then i i didn't browse ftmg for a year and suddenly he was addicted to heroin and the next time i checked he just wasn't in the thread anymore. did the guy just overdose orwhat happened to kayla that was being insane on cdwas ayden actually lalalilly or did some oldfag bait me and what happened to himwhat happened to Robin that bong with 6 gorillion diseases there's too many people in curious about when i think of it>>44339722early 2013 it was full of literal tumblr tourists checking it out, it needed a few months to mellow out iirc>>44339830>What were the trans people like before all the brainworms and the blanchard stuff and all that?that's the funny thingall this shit predates the board existing, the term hon tooonly thing that came up here is calling ftms pooners i think
>>44344080kayla still posts here, ayden is lilly I'm pretty sure and robin probably died or got institutionalized>the term hon tooreally? I thought we did that. we coined a bunch of stuff, boymode, youngshit, hon... I miss our fellow legbutts
did lgbt ever have a board-tan/boardtan or were we too late for that
I started browsing here in 2020/2021 people say that's when the board died but I disagree 2020-2024 was the sunset era of this board basically, the last wave of tripfags and "old" culture
>>44344358I think boymode is quite old too, boymoder tho is from here
>>44344358a lot of this shit started on cd instead of here, hon was definitely from cd. but it was the same people so it's kinda tttt as for agp ik someone who were on cd earlier than me and apparently agp bashing was always bad, fucked them up as a teen>>44344380too late but menhera-chan/boymoder serves the same function ig
>>44343216I don't know where the others went but I just quit social media completely. I imagine many did the same.Skull-chan was a late teens autist who tried to transition for like 1-2 months then had some massive episode detransed and spent the next three years telling transwomen on the board that they'd never pass because their skull was too big. He'd save everyone's images and repost them while either mocking or trying to skin walk them... the content of his posts was almost always about head or skull size. He was definitely the king of reppers.
>>44339501I was active (and a tripfag) from like...2019-2022 on this board. I was on /fa/ b4 that, but mostly just in the thinspo general (i have an eating disorder). I actually met my long-term girlfriend on this board in 2022 and then became a normal girlmoder. Both my partner and I posted in boymoder general (with trips), but we uhh met in a thread to see who had a "passing back". This board was never good. There are probably some trips i miss...i don't actually remember many names though because im reaaaaally fucking stupid.
I got on 4chan around 2006, a few years after I came out as trans.In 2013 I was being a homemaker/live-in domestic service sub for my college boyfriend. He was beating the shit out of me constantly and raping me and I was having a slow-onset mental breakdown and increasingly sick from what was eventually diagnosed as lupus. I think I was on 420chan (/cd/ and /dis/) most of the time imageboard-wise and barely here.
>>44346477trans b4 06 is very OG much respect
Defanged. Gutless
>>44339501I'm a midfag (not an oldfag or a newfag). I remember K's suicide, some bpd tripfags fighting each other and spilling blood and them calling the cops, and the OG diy orchi before the more recent post. This board has always had character but I feel as though more recently it's dulled. I wonder if I have changed, or the board has changed, or both.
>>44344358wasnt the etymology of 'hon' is like. originally on places like susan's place or whatever people would call each other hon while hugboxing people, and eventually that term got used as a disparaging term. i thought the development of the word into something with negative valence was because of us though but maybe i am wrong>>44344467covid really effected all imageboards because it invited an influx of newfags everywhere imo
>>44346735kiss kiss fall in love
>>44346735picrel is wrong fruits basket made me a pooner
>>44346821how the fuck are you watching fruits basket and wanting to be the boys??????
Every single board on this site is significantly worse than it was in 2020 and dramatically worse than it was in 2016.
>>44339501Im an oldfag but only started hrt in 2019, and its when I started posting here. The board was simply more creative and intelligent like if you remember unchaser and meta attraction nonsense? As stupid as that was, I cant imagine 2026 /tttt/ coming up with anything like that.Internet is overflown with 20 year old thirdies and various kinds of mystery meat brownies/hapas/latinos/whatever the fuck. They are either too stupid to understand or just dont see any value in board culture, so yes what we end up with is slop consisting of random blog posts, 10 repper generals, now several chaser generals, and lots and lots of tourists (most of them thirdies/brownies).Even so this place still makes me laugh sometimes and you can still find small islands of soul here and there.I met a few people on this board and all of them seem to be gone now, having moved on with their lives. I should attempt to do the same again. Just one more attempt perhaps.
>>44339501Instead of femboys, it was traps.
>>44347614>Im an oldfag but only started hrt in 2019, and its when I started posting here.what's with the zoomies pretending to be oldfags?
>>44346821holy based
