i have a feeling that this is the last 4chan anniversary everyone here will experiencejust a feeling tho :))well let's wait and seei think DSP will outlive 4chan to be quite desu
>>82674137Honestly I think it would be for the best. The good times are long gone and I don't think the site was really meant to exist past maybe 2013.
>>82674205It's not a coincidence that the entire old internet basically died in 2014. Gaymergate, fappening and moot leaving were the final three nails in the coffin of 4chan.
>>82674227The old internet is still alive if you know where to look.
>>82674227When it went down a few months ago I found myself barely even going online. I browsed some altchans for a few days but it didn't do much, my only other online activity is watching YT. The modern Internet doesn't really appeal to me anymore, once 4chan ends I think I'll just kms. It's kind of like the Simpsons, something that was supposed to end a long, long time ago.
>>82674273I think a lot of newfags don't care or don't even realise that 4chan didn't pop out of the ether. 4chan had contemporaries, 4chan has(/had) history, 4chan's contemporaries had history. Most of that is gone or just a footnote that's not really accessible/interesting to newfags.
>>82674328It's possible I'm just speaking from personal bias though, I don't really feel like I was supposed to live for this long either, but rather I was supposed to die sometime in the late 2000s or very early 2010s. I could just be projecting my own feelings onto this site itself
>>82674354>I could just be projecting my own feelings onto this site itselfPossibly but, the culture that spawned 4chan, the people that spawned the culture, aren't really made any more.Zoomers are cut from a different cloth. Pic related (1/2).
>>82674354Pic related (2/2).The last few 4chan birthdays have been fanfare-less events. Hell, IIRC, on one of them the server went down.
>>82674428>>82674442Yeah I read through those posts before and it feels pretty accurate. Online has lost most of its appeal but IRL is even more horrible than it was just 10 years ago, so there's really nowhere left to go and nothing else to do.
>>82674512>Online has lost most of its appeal but IRL is even more horrible than it was just 10 years ago, so there's really nowhere left to go and nothing else to do.I just look through old things nowadays on youtube, shit normalfags have forgotten about so the comments section isn't cancer.
>>82674137That would be a nice excuse to kill myself so ehwe'll be there anon don't worry
I'm sure at this point /pol/ + /v/ is keeping 4chan's corpse propped up.
>>82675061Yeah people that say /pol/ killed 4chan are deluding themselves, it extended the life of 4chan by miles and otherwise discord and tiktok or whatever people use now would have killed it completely
>>82675084>Yeah people that say /pol/ killed 4chan are deluding themselvesIt's not a really a good thing. Ironically though, things have devolved on 4chan so much that /pol/ is the closest to it's original irreverent spirit.
>>82675197K still has its moments at least
>>82675430isn't /k/ literally patrolled by shills/feds?
>>82674252No it isn't. If you think this then you didn't experience it.Old internet is completely gone and we won't ever have it back.It was a unique and brief period in human history lasting 10-15 years at best, when the internet was inhabited by high IQ white men only (and some Japanese who were on their own websites and never interacted with us. Websites were all just made by individuals, not corporations. There was no social media, just individual forums run and hosted by individuals for particular hobbies. No censorship, never had to interact with Indians or Africans or anyone with a sub-90 IQ. Not even any women.It was a really special time that we'll never have back.
>>82675645>high IQ white men onlyDisagree.I feel like your views are peppered by the current culture nerds/geeks have been thrown into.I honestly didn't know who I was talking to back then, only things I'm sure of they that were dudes, *probably* white depending on what region of the world, and relatively smart compared to normalfags. It was the world wide web.
>>82675793>Disagree.I was there for years.>I feel like your views are peppered by the current culture nerds/geeks have been thrown into.I am no part of current "nerd/geek" culture which is basically low IQ basedboys who love capeshit.>I honestly didn't know who I was talking to back then, only things I'm sure of they that were dudes, *probably* white depending on what region of the world, and relatively smart compared to normalfags. It was the world wide web.Indeed. So what I said. You didn't interact with 70 IQ Indians, whereas nowadays on social media there's a 90% chance that's what's happening, or it's a bot.
>>82675645>No censorshipEven the old PHP bb forums had power hungry jackass mods though. I got banned from plenty of those in the early 2000s.
>>82675827>I was there for years.So was I. I still have parachute accounts.>basedboysYour views are coloured to say this. Necked-bearded, fedora-wearing, samurai sword-wielding nerds were a thing back then.>Indeed. So what I said.No, not what you said. It literally depended on what website and what region.>>82675868I lurked most of the time. Wish I had made accounts on those forums that are dead now. Who knew that geekdom would be hijacked by the cool kids?
>>82675868Yeah that's true, but you would get banned because the mod was a butthurt bitch who didn't like you, not because you said a bad word or didn't respect Israel, and you'd be banned from 1 forum and could come back with a different name, rather than being banned from basically the entire internet (Twitter/YouTube/Facebook/Reddit coordinated bans that are never reversed for people with wrongthink).
>>82675899If you think the internet is the same now then you are just retarded. I'm guessing you are young. Do not respond to me again retard.
>>82675569Yeah but you get some really funny post sometimes
>>82675923I'm guessing you have reading comprehension problems.
>>82675868I mean, we used to get offshoots if someone decided to create one. Hell, 4chan is an offshoot.Sadly 4chan is a mule.
>>82675976I'm guessing you are brown. Statistically speaking, it's likely, and that's the entire problem I'm talking about.Complete waste of time even talking to retarded people on a curated censored internet. I miss the days when I was posting on 30 different forums that were just created by random white guys, or playing games on servers hosted on people's own broadband connections where you could say anything, and see the same handful of people every night.Nowadays every online game has centrally hosted servers and matchmaking, your chat is auto-censored with a banned word list and you never see the same person twice, it's usually a stranger, and they're usually brown.
I'd miss /r9k/. I'd rather not have to join incel forums.Captcha: KARMA
>>82676047Current day /r9k/ is pure dogshit.>>82676040Like I said, a problem with reading comprehension. Only thing I'm disagreeing with you, is your "everybody on the internet was white" and disrespect to old-school nerds. I hope you an hero.
I might as well speak into the ether:Pic related is one of the worst things to happen to geeks/nerds. It's something I don't think geekdom will ever recover from. Also did you know Jimquisition is a tranny now?
Things will never be the same, it's time to move on guys
>>82676191>it's time to move on guysTo what?
>>82674252No, it doesn't. And if it does, prove it by showing us examples instead of bullshit replies like "you have to look for them by yourself".
>>82674137>i have a feeling that this is the last 4chan anniversary everyone here will experienceWhy?
>>82676285Not him, but 4chan is a subset of the world, and if the world goes to shit, 4chan will go to shit.
everything is coming to an end. agagaga
4chan will always stay up as long as /pol/ is active because that's a good place for the feds to keep an eye on the more radical types
>>82676657right you mean the trannuies
>>82676639lol, now even this is gone
>>82676657More like a barometer.
>>82676639I can't imagine the last time we all felt like brothers
