like uhhh idk. vampchan? she was cool. feel bad for her but i seem to recall things getting better for her? idk. and uhhh who was the other one...mel? melanie? she would post IN ALL CAPS screaming about how she ugly she is when she was like the cutest lil thing. it was honestly kind of annoying cuz she would post the same shit like every single day and argue with every single person who replied. it was kinda funny. but hope she got better. and uhh who else.. taylor? i think? raging repper turned trans woman? idk that wasnt a very funny arc but i vaguely remember that happening, tale as old as time i suppose. oh and uhhh...batmother? batanon? bat-somethinhg, sometehing like that. she was super cool. seemed very wise and had good advice. i hope they are all okay. i cant remember any of the others, it was too long ago. like shit i only remember stuff from like, 7 years ago, im not an oldfag by any means, but theres a kind of nostalgia coming back to this board after all this time and thinking about the wacky zany characters who were all the rage way back when. like this place is absolute dogshit but it had its charm idk it was like a crappy reality show drama you could tune into, seeing what all the popular idiots were up to. im sure i had strong opinions on them at the time but now i just hope theyre doing okayidk, im ramblingi want to keep drinking but i dont want to throw upi miss being young, being younger at leastdwhy do i have to wait five minute to get a cpatcha fuck you cloudfare
>>45072568The board during lockdowns was something else nglI think the more well-adjusted trips (and anons) just integrate into normal society and don't have a major online presence. Some of the more attention seeking ones, as is the nature of tripfags, go to other mainstream online spaces when the attention here dries up. It's kinda trippy (heh) seeing some of them blow up knowing some of their audiences would crucify them for being associated with the boardAs for the ones I could remember right now:>Taftaj posts midwit takes on the rationalist side of twitter >Mel became a passoid and makes bdd tweets constantly. Less crashouts though>Soph still posts here and on reddit offshoots>Vieo still posts here I think? Still manmoding ig>Lopey still diaper posts as some weird theymab unsurprisingly, don't ask me how I know>Robin has a following on tiktok and got involved in some rapebian drama>I can't remember what happened to Vampchan or Motherbat desu>Wheel was the only trip I respected as a voice of reason on this shithole. I don't know where she is either but probably doing okay for herselfI didn't participate in the gens or their related discords or anything. I just remember those trips being in every thread at the time>this place is absolute dogshit but it had its charmIt's really sad that I consider this place the most usable online space for lgbt discussion, which is saying a lot. I think 4chan as a whole has been integrated into broader internet culture since the pandemic (even since the elections, but it's much more apparent now), but there's a quality inherent to anonymous image boards that lets you have insightful discussions you wouldn't find anywhere else
>>45072655>I think the more well-adjusted trips (and anons) just integrate into normal society and don't have a major online presencethat's basically what happens.i was one of the annoying insecure trips in ~2017. now i lurk occasionally but otherwise i just became a normal woman with a normal job.my online presence consists of one boring facebook account where nothing about trans/lgbt is even mentioned.
>>45072655last i remember wheel got out of her crackhouse living situation and maybe got a bf
>>45072568I've seen vampchain semi-recently on some other boarda lot of trips are still around but nobody trips anymore
>>45072655FFUCK i miss motherbat she was kind to me in some rlly bad timesBut yea afaik most of them just go on to stealth if they can, most girls understand that if youre full time girlmoding you gotta protect your stealth and that usually means not having an internet identity that can be attached to youused to be in a server with trips, as people get older they just spend less times on forums or chatrooms in general
>>45072744i talk to vampchan on time to time, shes rlly nice and doing well, but not a poster on 4chan or a much less prolific one 2bdesu
>>45072568Last I heard from Vamp she was doing well and that's probably why she's spending less time here. I do miss herMelanie is still around
>>45072746Motherbat had her moments. I never really hated her despite her showing up in almost every thread.I still think integration can extend to those that can't pass fully, hence I left out stealth in my original reply. It's related more to living offline and having a healthy headspace>>45072724I lurk to keep up about prospective advancements in transitioning and seeing the long term effects of HRT, even though the board has not been at the forefront of these types of discussions for a while.Side note, there aren't really any changes after 5-10+ years of HRT with a proper dosage that I'm aware of, no?
