When did you come to 4chan?
2014 for me.
>>
>>77247647
2010, my friend introduced me to it. He just wanted to show me funny things, that's all
>>
>>77247647
first went on the site in 2019, started browsing it often in 2022
>>
2006, learned about it from the newgrounds forums, came here and never went back.
>>
2013. Was teenager very lonely fat fembot. I remember when /r9k/ had those selfie threads and guys told me to lose weight and that my body looked like a dudes.

This site is good for helping people self esteem.

>>77247647
I just discovered 4chan last week

2011
Used to go on FunnyJunk and /b/ to get my laughs

January of 2009, I've been on 4chan for most my life. You can say 4chan gave birth to me even
>>
>>77247842
m00t pushed you out his pp hole

Either around 2005 or 2006. Learned of it through Gaia online.
>>
>>77247784
Holy shit I forgot about "occupy wallstreet" I was too young to follow/care at the time, I wonder why it never happened again.
>>
>>77247647
Oldfag here. I joined last year and can't wait for accounts to be introduced. I find blocking people and karma to be handy utilities.

>2012 occupy

>2020 george floyd riots

it happens every 4 years, like something else.

>>77247647
2006 or 2007, can't remember. Friend asked if I was a /b/tard and eventually he sent me a link.
>>
2005 or 6 since I was 5 or 6 years old
Going to /b/ used to be all I would do after school and before school and I've been here ever since
>>
>>77247890
Fellow oldfag here. Absolutely agreed. It's so helpful to be able to go through one's posting history. That way we'll never have newfags.

You've been using this website since you were 5 years old? I do not believe this

2008, /b/ was getting popular in high school with the WoW players. as of last year i have spent most my life here.
>>
>>77247647
About 2012/2013. First heard about it through horse show fandom and that the fandom basically originated from here. It got me curious so I started browsing /mlh/ and /co/. Eventually, I made my way to /r9k/. My life has gone downhill since. One of the many reasons why I hate that fandom now.

been here everyday since just lurkin n fappin

2004, I was 15. I was there for Habbo Hotel, Battletoads and Hal Turner. I was splitting my time between Something Awful, YTMND and here before I realized pretty much all the best stuff was just being reposted elsewhere from 4chan.
>>
>>77247919
Are you just completely deranged by now? Holy fuck /b/ at 6 years old.

I knew about 4chan after Lowtax banned anime from the SA forums but I wasn't thrilled by it initially. Ignored it while I played WoW.
Then in 2005 or 2006 /f/ got really good. People would upload HentaiKey animations for free. Lots of memes.
I started browsing other boards like /v/ and been around ever since.
>>
>>77247647
poked around from 2018. started spending a lot of time here and on altchans in 2023. but i lurked tranny communities that seemed to have a lot of 4chan oldfags in them as a confused kid, so i came in with much of the culture already absorbed.

canv.as fizzled out, worked at google, worked on google maps (google+ ?) in Japan for a while until he was divested then disappeared. He obviously wants to be far away from here. I mean be didn't have much of a personal life here, they were even doxxing his mom.
Apparently he ran an internal imageboard at google for shitposting.

Late 2012 I started on /b/ through edgy Facebook comedy pages like Cell. Then on the back of the brony craze (ironically at first) I started using /mlp/ 'till I became I fully fledged horsefucker and that was my first proper home board.

2006 or 7. Came here from the Prowrestling boards of GameFAQS.

2010. around the time of jessi slaughter

2022. Complete newfag here. Eternal summer or something like that

2012 for me through /b/ and /h/ then eventually /int/
>>
>>77247647
2014 just before the Reddit invasion
>>
Definitely before 2013 but my earliest 4chan memory is seeing a boston bombing victim's leg cut off on /b/
>>
I don't really remember, it was a very long time ago and I was never the type to care about how much of an oldfag I am.
I was young and I found it via Madness Combat forums and ED.
>>
>>77247647
2005
One of my online friends kept linking pics from /b/ to react to my comments
So I lurked there for a few months until I found /v/
>>
>>77247647
I think I came in 2009 after the peak of Chanology, I lurked for months before making my first post, I was a newfag, and to some extent I still feel like one.

>Don't believe it
My kindergarten assigned us "buddys" from 8th grade or something to socialize us I guess
From what I remember either my buddy or his best friend gave me a paper with 4chan.org/b written on it and told me to come here
I still wonder sometimes if he still browses 4chan or not

>>77250660
>Are you just completely deranged by now?
Yeah I guess so
I am a hikkineet and my life is basically ruined I wouldn't say it's ruined because of 4chan though if anything 4chan is why I haven't roped

I'll never forget one of the first threads I ever saw maybe the top thread when I first looked was gore and I panicked and left for months before coming back permanently

It's neat to see another /f/ browser
I still use /f/ to this day not only do you still see recently made or atleast recently updated things once in a while but the reposts are fairly high quality still

summer 2008, friend's older brother showed us /b/

2006. Doomers hadn't taken over yet, memes were just funny pictures, and irony was actually pretty rare at the time.

2015, unironically this place saved my life. I was way too fucking lonely before. Now I can just insult retards here all day every day.
>>
I am genuinely concerned about this site dying. They removed the IP counter and now /b/ is slow as fuck. It used to be so much faster in 2015 if this place dies I dunno what I'm gonna do.
>>
My first girlfriend showed me this place in 2005.
I didnt really like anime at the time so I didnt get fully /b/tarded right away, but pretty quickly I found myself coming here instead of myspace to hang out and the rest is history.

holy shit youre right

2009. It feels like the average IQ of the website in general is far FAR lower than it used to be. Or maybe I was just a dumb kid and didn't realize how stupid everyone here always was
>>
>>77247871

wtf. I thought we bullied all the gaiafags off this site circa 2008
>>
I came here in '08, and I still consider myself a newfag

Handy guide:
Newfag = '07 onwards
Oldfag = '05, '06
Originalfag = '04
Primevalfag = never got their $10 back

2011, I was a freshman in high school. Turns out the only reddit posts I liked turned out to be 4chan reposts. I was an autistic loser without any prospects for friends, I 100% thank 4chan for helping me get friends by retelling jokes I found on here to make people laugh.
>>
>>77257748
2016 eternal newfag here too. Friend showed me the site one day and /r9k/ caught my attention. Went home and looked it up myself and found a lot of posts that resonated with me at the time. My fate was sealed

i saw a femboy yt vid

>>77247647
For me, it came from a string of viral videos from Dillon the Hacker circa 2013-2014, which was how I was introduced to /b/. He was a genuinely entertaining guy, it's a shame what happened to him
