>>741296123>>741296061It started with Chanology, developed with Gamergate, and culminated in Trump 2016. Everything since is just squatting in the rubble, here because there's nowhere left to go.

I miss when the internet was fun, what the hell went wrong?
>>741297619gaia online
>>741296159>shoe on head
>>741297619Irony poisoning. It's easy to take cheap-shots at people being earnest, and as the internet grew the lowest common denominator of quips and simple jokes undermined any serious chance at discussion and community. Combine it with the increasing bleeding of 'real life' into online spaces and it was a death knell.
>>741297619I feel like the next step in culture is that people will stop sharing what they enjoy, because the moment it becomes popular, it becomes shit.
>>741297619>what the hell went wrong?tl;dr corpos, normies. marketing and adverts.social media needed customers so they got literally everyone online. like every good niche thing, it was doomed once the normies flooded in.once it was full of normies, it then became just another mediaspace to farm them. same as cable TV and podcast/influencers.
>>741294569>tfw even the few boards that resisted the fall of this site are just as bad a /v/ now
>>741298197>the lowest common denominator of quips and simple jokes undermined any serious chance at discussion and communitywhich is why i find it intensely ironic that a lot of so-called "oldfags" congregate on twitter. a website owned by a US government oligarch, where people post under their real names, dedicated solely to short-form bantz. like reddit, twitter is actively hostile to anyone trying to use it without an account and an app (so it can farm more data from you). it's the antithesis of what made the old web good.
>>741297619it became srs bzns
>>741298390y so srs?
>>741294569>2010-2026 is the same time gap as 1994-2010
>>741298356Discord is even worse. It's about to become "give us your ID if you don't want to lose your 200 pointless porn channels and pay-to-use emotes.".
>>741297619>what the hell went wrong?Literally and unironically, the elites were so spooked by OWS that there's now a perpetual initiative to dismantle any sense of community on every major website. It works a similar way to how Amazon prevents workers from unionizing.
>>741298921>elites were so spooked by OWSthe arab spring, and if you're russian-ish the color revolutions too.first thing the regieme does when the unrest starts for real is cut the internet.

>>741299202
Once, many years ago.One anon bought like 100 copies of animal crossing for the wii U and I could never fin that thread again.
>>741298208>I feel like the next step in culture is that people will stop sharing what they enjoy, because the moment it becomes popular, it becomes shit.It already happened, but no one told you about it because they didn't want it to become popular and turn into shit.I'm sorry that I ruined the obscure gatekeeping of gatekeeping through obscurity, now everyone's going to do it.
>>741294569
>>741299446based
>>741297619We're are always online now. There is no segregation of the virtual and real worlds anymore so people end up treating the internet like they do real life and are scared to say certain things and put on twisted mask to protect themselves. Couple this with what other anons mentioned and you are left with a cold and unfeeling net.

this boards average IQ is like 80 holy shit
>>741297619the same thing that's always made the internet worse, more people started using it.a rough estimate puts the amount of people using the internet in the late 90s at around 147 million.now we have 6 billion, and it's been made so that the internet is mostly focused on a few major hub sites.is it any wonder it's so terrible?
>>741302327I used to browse an image site called fukung and babby was one of the fucking funniest images I'd ever seen.I didn't have my own computer besides the one in the living room, so i'd mostly peruse on the wii.Then one day in college that fucking old man baby was blasted everywhere on 4chan. Funny day. Any good websites I can use to scroll/click/swipe for random images? All the old ones I used to use have died out.Imgur still exists, but 99% of the shit posted there after 2014 is tumblr garbage. I still use imgur random sometimes to maybe pop into some pre 2015 memes, but it's just such garbage.
>>741300716I'm oldfag enough to remember when the 2006-2007 era I joined was newfag

The Internet was only really fun when you had to wait to get home to use it. When you had to live most of your day like a normal human being.
>>741304494EPIC FAIL
>>741304529That's how it is for me thoughI've never owned a cellphone so the internet is entirely limited to just my desktop PC. I'm 32.If I leave my PC corner, I leave the internet behind
>>741304602You seem like a well adjusted fellow who is going to have an enjoyable and fulfilling life, never change fren
>>741304713thanks, you too
>>741297619SJW censorship forced all the insane right-wingers on the internet onto /pol/, from where they leaked out to the rest of the site.
>>741299250/fit/ genuinely used to be one of the best boards, it's the only time I can think of where the resident tripfriends were fun to interact with
>>741297619it has happened before to a myriad of things>niche hobby that a group of people enjoy becomes popular>normies infest it>corporations take notice and try profit off it>it immediately becomes sanitized and boring because corporations don't want ads over words like nigger or faggot
>>741296305Honestly none of those were that bad. There was still a lot of fun and funny posts. Even 2016 psychos had stuff like HWNDU which was fucking hilarious.It was certainly the starting of the trends that eventually lead to this website dieing but Covid was when things went from fun and only mildly serious to people on 24/7 that SHOULD NOT be on 24/7 and driving themselves insane
>>741304529These days it really feels like people on the internet base their entire perception of the world around online retardation, like they've locked themselves in a sort of Plato's cave of memes and social media and take what they see there as an actual reflection of real life.
>>741298639I still can't believe they got people to end up wanting to pay for emotes like that's just insane to me. I don't get it.
>>741302000Does anyone have those "OOOUUHH JOSEPHU MERRICKU" posts from when Pokemon SwSh was getting backlash?
>>741294569>posting anything 2007+eternal newfaggotry.
>>741305459I think a noticable shift was how anon was treated. The whole point used to be it doesn't matter who you were. If you brought up you were black, white, a girl, or whatever then you were mocked because we were anon. That's where tits or GTFO came from, because you being a woman didn't mean shit compared to whatever you were saying. We called each other nigga and it wasn't an insult any more grave than "idiot" it was just what we called each other because we were edgyNow you say anything, even something probably true and someone claims you're a black transexual woman and your identity nullifies whatever you say. It's the exact opposite of what it used to be.
>>741302448i still can't comprehend why third worlders want to communicate and interact with us so badly, I don't understand why this needed to happen. I don't need to share the same spaces as someone from india or saudi arabia, I seriously don't get why so many of them go out of their way to learn english just to talk to us, and they aren't even friendly, they're just a bunch of perma hostile porn addicts with the most bizarre fixations
>>741305808Who is >us?
>>741305752I try not to buy in too heavily to the conspiracy theories about global psyops to disrupt camaraderie and anonymity online in neutral meeting grounds, but it's also hard not to notice the trend. Online became srs bsns but real life has become flippant shitposting.
>>741297619sincerity died
I am getting so tired of seeing>zoomer>millennialand intergeneration shit in general, considering filtering it. Ties into what>>741305752said>The whole point used to be it doesn't matter who you were.Now it matters based on when you were born? All people born in X must like Y, because? Jesus wept
>>741306004Because people build their entire lives on and based on social media now. It's fucked up. All social media should be banned forever, nobody should be able to share their opinion with everyone just like that. It's demonic.
>>741305579It's a prestige thing I think. Flaunting their supposed wealth, like buying fancy car numbers, pure vanity.>>741305752At some point people who looked for internet fights vastly outnumbered those who just wanted to talk, so it became about constantly trying to one-up your supposed opponent. Naturally, latter get fed up with the bullshit and gave up, and all we have left is the former, retards permanently engaged in some ethereal shadow war against each other.
It's crazy how I was around for these times and even I think the humor is cringe now.
When I used to read about China or wherever limiting Internet access hours I always thought it was draconian authoritarianism but now I'm starting to think it probably wouldn't be such a bad idea when even world leaders have become social media addicts
>>741305752maybe dont have under cover brotha gay ass tier opinions then>>741306139the intergenerational shit is fake and gay
>>741297619third world subhumans took over the internet
>>741303424Arino!I actually played his game too on the DS
>>741296305we must build the next place
>>741306323I mean it's easy enough to say that but this is social media. Obviously it's far different in structure and tone than twitter or facebook but it's still the same underlying ethos.
>>741306564My gay nigger homo CORRECT opinion
>>741306836>this is social media4chan is not social media. Nobody SHOULD try to be a person here. Every post is anonymous, you are not part of a community in the same way, every post should be judged for its own merit not by the one who posted it. Bad influences from social media have caused damage to that even here though but it was different once like >>741305752 said.
>>741306984No I get that but structurally it meets every criteria of a centralized platform for user-generated content. I'm not logging in as a tripfag and garnering a reputation but I'm still here to post shit and read shit other people posted.
>>741305752well by saying tits or GTFO on the current time you get the chance to get some nasty trans tits on screen. Better avoid that.
>>741307090You should be going to boards and thread you care about, maybe look around sometimes, but unless you're looking around you shouldn't be getting shit you don't care about forced down your throat, unlike what social media loves to do.
I started coming here on 2007. I took a break from 4chan from 2014 to 2023.Now I phonepost here while at work because so much of the rest of the internet is full of niggerfaggots.
>>741300716Damn i've been poisoning my mind with this shit site for 20 years.
>>74130750721 years. There isn't anywhere else to go.

>>741300716>mfw OG newfagwe gotta change these categories at some point, I should definitely be an oldfag by now
>>741307639this tbqh. When 4chan died for a few weeks last year I was genuinely adrift without a port of call. Don't know how I'm gonna function online without this shithole to come back to, might lobotomize myself and go full normie-pill, start posting on instagram or tiktok
archive this shit
>>741307653What was the halloween game one actually? Some RPGmaker creepypasta?
>>741308685I found multiple imageboards and kept tabs of all of themit's just lot easier to shitpost here and not think about other places
>>741308870
>>741304236A lot of these were funny at the time but should have been left in the time capsule so to speak.
>>741308853I regret not finding good altchans eons ago but anything worthwhile is probably dead by now.
>>741296305The website was always destined to go down this path because it's a magnet low value men desperate for some kind of movement or purpose to attach themselves to.

Does anyone have a cap of that thread of a /b/tard seeing moot in a café and making a fuck-all scene?
>>741313850>/a/Nobody wants to discuss anime. Anime has been normieslop for years now. it was pretty much over with sailor moon episodes airing in the 90's and the hype of naruto starting in 00's. Females watch anime over the past 10 years, that's how over it truly is. It's not the boards, it's just that the discussion is everywhere.>/tv/nobody is watching this dogshit. I've always been surprised such a board exists at all. People watching regular tv are the zombie tards to me.finally this "technology", piece of propaganda shit is dying out.>/v/is quite tarded, but became so popular, that there are over 5 gaming related boards now. Gaming is also mainstream normalized dogshit, however, PC gamers are quite old and always has been. The average age of a gamer in general has been late 30's for years now. Plus, PC masterrace and even console peasantry like public forums.
>>741309010I love how faggots like you won't talk about the third worldification of the internet and instead come up with dumb low IQ excuses to make yourself sound more intelligent. Kinda outs you.
>>741314640>anime has finally diedOk, good. Give me more good news. Are the jews hated worldwide?
>>741304508Your post is the equivalent of being invited to a potluck and responding by bringing your used adult diapers, a cornucopia of rancid shit and piss you insist on sharing. See pic-related, go fuck yourself.
>>741310704>>741312368I don't know why you feel the need to say you post on 4chan...Explain to who, you fucking retard? Leftists retards who cannot take accountability that they eat up a myth that Epstein created 4chan? Go ahead and find the emails that "prove" it and I'll laugh. Its amazing how leftists refuse to accept their hatred of Whites is the core reason why everyone hates them. I've been here for 20 years and I've every excuse where they think of themselves as highly intelligent being just some random group lashing out at them. Stormfront, facebook, Trump voters, russians and putinbots, anyone (as long as its not Israel). Why would you associate myself with such people? Why the fuck do I need to explain myself when these fucking fags who ignore that Epstein is also associated with reddit? Who spent the past 20 years banning any person who criticizes a jewish mossad billionaire who trafficks White girls as an insane conspiractical nazi?
>>741307793he left the site immediately after the meeting btwbut that doesn't fit the narrative
>>741315178These faggots will literally just assume that the Epstein network was the only one to exist and that's it and the final nail in the coffin for their rulers being controlled faggotcision.
>>741297801you and i both know gaia online had nothing to do with it, why you doin this
>>741313850Decreasing post speed is actually a good thing. Return to pre 2010 activity levels.
>>741307756yeah today everyone just goes to 5-7 websites via apps and everything else doesnt exist.

>>741313019>Each thread reads like an instagram or twitter comments section.a while ago someone unleashed a bot that posted an image of a cheese and a link to a twitter source of the OP if it originated from onei swear in 40% of the threads i went in that day i saw that exact same fucking image, and upon clicking the links like a quarter of the responses to the OP were just copy pasted from twitterliterally only closed spaces will function in the future, if you don't have a circlejerk or a group already formed, you're probably shit out of luck
>>741316019Depends on whos leaving. 4chan will never heal as long as /pol/ is a thing. Election tourists ruined this website.
>>741317115I've seen the same but with YouTube comments
>>741317126There's still people here who enjoy vidya discussion and OC. its just drowned out. Hell even the people into games and stuff that Im not into can be pretty alright. Id take people with taste i dont agree with but that still love their vidya over the modern behavior any day.
>>741305808Why do you think people feel blessed to speak to you or anything? I understand you are an EOP and English is the only communication you have but for the rest of the world its just a way to connect to people internationally. We don't care where you are from and no one here did in the old days either. What matters is to find people with similar interests and have discussions. Which was this website was about, a place for otakus. Words like "thirdie, brown, tranime" are brought by election tourists who came here because they couldn't say nigger on reddit. I'm thinking you should go back actually.
>>741301831Some anon from Indonesia would call you a faggot for doing this today.

>>741300590Now that's something I haven't seen in quite a while
>>741318179Is it like what happened towards the end of the nightmare city "4chan city" thing?If so it can he hard to find the source of some of the old era memes and in jokes since sometimes we called them something other than what was obvious on screen
>>741303229it was a different time
>>741318179>>741318694Shitty screenshot but I went ahead and grabbed it
Does anyone remember the year long stretch where the site was borderline unusable because every reaction image was wojak and pepe shitting or pissing on each other?
>>741318792thanks. at least i know i didnt imagine it now
>>741300076>NOOOO A HOT WOMAN WANTS TO FUCK MEWhy was the early internet like this?
>>741319013Yeah, and i remember on /f/ there was a video of scrolling the board seeing nothing but those threads with the filthy frank "kill yourself song playing
i was mostly a /b-fag back in 2006
>>741297619>what the hell went wrong?my schizophrenic explanation is that somethingawful is the root of all internet evil and them being self-loathing faggots who need to dunk onto anything that is more (or equally but open about it) cringe than they are raped the next gen into being irony poisoned and when they got mind broken by random tumblrites bitching about them they changed their bullying tactics to only target "problematic" people, which then further raped younger internet users into being hall monitorsalso phones allowed boring people to get onto the internet and pollute spaces with their inane horseshit
>>741319239>still blaming goons in 2026
>>741318179It was a reference to the scene in total recall where their eyes bug out on the Martian surface for no fucking reason
>>741300509Timeless and prophetic.
>>741296305>here because there's nowhere left to go.you should be married by now retard
>>741319239That's not being schizo, you're entirely correct. They're not the source of all the cancer, but they're a major provider, and the worst people on the site have gone on to positions of IRL power, where they then force it on everyone.
>>741307793I bet the cake was delicious
>>741319606>no childhood friend>no transfer student>no ojou-samaI never had a chance.
It sounds cliche but I really would have preferred 4chan had gone out with a bang than with a slow gasping whisper from a dusty old mummy's throat
>>741302737OH HI ANDY SWEETIEHMM? WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE DRAWING?
There isn't a single good oldfag archive around, it's all >le reaction image trash
>>741319695Disagree. We're the last bastion of the old internet. We can't just give up.
>>741297619people wanted to make money having fun
>>741300716Cancer chads rise up
baklavAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>741319505No kiddin huh?So many of these old jokes were so short lived compared to the zombified stuff these days, but a one off reference like that sounds about right.
>>741319893This
>>741319695I agree, but if its gonna keep living then we have to carry the flame of vidya, even despite the legions of shitposters.Every generation still has people looking for sincere good times and a little fucking around like we had in the old days, just gotta leave a light on for them and ignore the other vermin as best we can.
>>741308561Embrace it, im a 2007 newfag but at least I lurked before posting.
>>741320245Spurdo was, and remains one of the greatest inventions of online communities.
>>741297527>New OrleansNever fails to elicit a Kek
>>741317334their disagreement with you is that they dont love vidya and say that you shouldnt love it either.its not a thing you can tolerate your way out of.
>>741297619Too many people got access to the internet.
>>741319013It was not a very good time.
>>741297619normies were exposed to 4chan and they took shitposts seriously
>>741320656actually pretty funny looking back on it
>>741320656>that one time you couldn't post anything without someone greentexting your post with a basedjak attachedy'know what, I'm kinda glad sharty contains these people
>>741320589No you goof, you disregard those vermin, and embrace those that still want vidya. There is no "generation war", just hordes of scum that deserve no engagement, and then people who just want to talk and argue about vidya.
>>741303570bro tendies are legit mentally ill
>>741300716I posted in peak "newfag" era then quit around late cancer because the porn was getting too bad on /b/. Now that I think of it that board has been literally unusable for like a decade
>>741300797Do you have the one that's like "12 year old with AIDS"?Also the Onion one is cheating.
>>741320748It wasn't just tendies (drones) it was the entire gameosphere. You had to be there
>>741294569Whenever I see one of these threads I assume it's a pajeet looking to farm old images for Twitter pennies.God I hate pakis so much
>>741319013POO POO PEE PEE I NEED SOMEONE TO CHANGE ME
>>741320613
>>741319013was it the facebook meme raids to reclaim pepe from the normies in 2014/2015 by poisoning the meme with scat and gore fetish imagery?that was the best.
>>741319013a couple of those were funnyand i'd prefer that back compared to what we have now
>>741295053>some obese obnoxious faggot gives a less than stellar rating for a game>niggers spam it everywhere because LMAO SEETHE SEETHE MAD SEETHE XD YOU MADmoot was a fucking faggot
>>741301013i remember people would just storytime whole doujins and hentai manga here.wild to think about now.So long gay kid
>>741320656do you have that somewhat now old comic that shows the progression of 4chan poster attitudes?has something like 4 or 5 sections ofa woman all stacked on top of eachother something like>that's so random lol early /b/ posting>evolves into kys lmao / wojak spam>becomes cringe / insincere garbage posting>reverts back to /b/ random lol clown world posting
>>741320979LMAO I had this same exact picture saved as a reminder of this bullshit
>>741297619The "internet" was a literal place in your house you had to go to to access. You had to sit there and BE ON the Internet. You could just disengage with it at any time. It was an active experience you had to engage in. Then it became more and more passive until it just became a 24/7 morphine drip into your brain.
>>741301013Youd still catch a random 3day from it here and there but it was definitely whim based
>>741320460him and Gondola are the bestevery time my wallpaper cycles to this I laugh my ass off
>>741321225Gondola just kicking the shit out of something always cracks me up./wsg/ usually has these nice little threads of gondola in relaxing scenes with calm or "forlorn" music
>>741320979almost all of them were funny. not all of them were laugh out loud funny like yours but they were all absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible.
>>741298921This is the correct answer
I still think Pepe and Feels Guy are really funny, I will never allow normalfags to ruin them for them, no matter how obnoxious they are
>>741314640/tv/ has always been a crypto normie board because like you said talmudvision watchers aren't human
>>741321225Of all of the manifestations of the bear and frog memes, gondola is definitely my favorite.
>>741298921It isn't just the internet, but everything. Look at most media created post OWS. Deliberate divisiveness and infighting was the intent.
>>741297619accessibility, every year there's exponentially more people (and bots) on the internet, needless to say newfags have always been the cancer killing 4chan
>>741321490Pepe, like all memes, ran his course, and was not allowed to retire into casual, occasional relevance as other old memes did. He is still, constantly used across the site for low effort posting actively avoiding the boards topic while pretending to be on topic.It is not the normalfags that ruined him, i can ignore normalfags much more easily than I can the terminally online absolutely flooding front pages.
>>741320460love the finnsi still watch Cofe Time for Talk in English just to reminisce
>>741306587This may get skimmed over, but this is the biggest reason. Third worlders, trannies and Jewish mind tricks are the reasons.
>>741314640I exclusively watch anime from like 2005 and earlier, barely watch tv and it's always older shows (I tried watching that early 2010's Sleepy Hollow series recently and the very first episode had a black female cop lecturing Ichabod about racism and black power, not even joking, plus they tease you with Clancy Brown but kill him off in like 5 minutes, so I stopped) and I exclusively play older games and the 6 or 7 fun indie games that come out each yearthere is literally more good media from the past than I could possibly hope to enjoy in one lifetime so they could stop making new shit tomorrow and I'd be fine
>>741306587It was shit before the first drop of the jeet turdal wave hit, normalfags and corporations raped it to death, turd worlders are just here to pilfer the corpse
>>741302364This is the answer.Which is why for a while I liked hearing/saying "To be cringe is to be free", until the same irony-poisoned retards who ruined everything else started saying it.
>>741321936Do not kill the part of you that is cringe. Kill the part that cringes.
>>741321104Not completely up to date, this is what I have saved though.
>>741321692I disagree. I think there needs to be a good balance of newfags and oldfags. You need fresh blood to keep the site energetic, you need oldfags to preserve the site culture. The problem 4chan has these days is that there aren't many newfags anymore while the oldfags are slowly phasing out or going schizo.
>>741322024This site was completely overrun by a tsunami of newfags a decade ago that completely destroyed board culture to the point that it barely exists on any board. 90% of the shit that this place fondly talks about now like gacha and untouchable AAA dogshit would've gotten you bullied off the board in the past. I am actually seeing Halo and Gears of War nostalgia threads for fucks sake.
>>741321876>there is literally more good media from the past than I could possibly hope to enjoy in one lifetime so they could stop making new shit tomorrow and I'd be fineThey know it too. They're now doing this weird dance where they have to keep reminding you of legacy media while at the same time trying to erase/destroy it.
>>741294569I remember when WebMs were added and the mods said that they were adding WebM support as a better alternative to GIFs and that's why sound was turned off for most boards, and back then /b/ was still the most popular board and everybody was spamming WebMs of Hitler dancing with glowsticks and nazis and nazi anime. Lol.
>>741322228that anon that predicted >Halo and Gears of War nostalgiawas an oraclewish i still had that screencap
>>741322327real niggas remember that luggagelad had sound enabled and turned it off using the excuse that people were uploading screamers
>>741322228where is that picture from?
>>741301096I remember distinctly the shift in the zeitgeist from WW2 shooters to modern shooters around when CoD 4 came out. Weird to look back on the "trends" of FPS development.>>741307385I started coming in 2008 and drop in and out every now and then.
>>741322228>those /pol/ numbersFucking grim.
>>741294569>shitty samefag setup and knockdown now that's some epic oldfag baconness
Old /v/ was wrong sometimes. The amount of seething about Halo, specifically 3, was unwarranted. All bitter Quake fags who refused to admit Halo was a great series.
>>741322474https://4stats.io/
>>741309240
>>741322228That's why I said there needs to be a good balance. Still though, even your own graph shows that the election and r/thedonald flood was mostly limited to /pol/. Also, it's only normal that zoomers will have nostalgia for shit they played when they were kids.
>>741297619The simplest and biggest answer is that you are not interacting with the same people online anymore. Different people act differently.
>>741297619monetizing everything instead of passion
>>741322568Doesn't matter. Halo won.
>>741322623thanks i've been looking for something like this for awhile
>>741322682>Halo won.
People posting memes from 2011+1+ so we're dumping the pretense of oldfag by original definitions so fuck it and the janny let me post lust penis without a full ban (yet) so instead of chichi bestiality porn have outer kevin. >>741322228This, plus making absolutely sure nobody could actually be creative for exactly more than one thread without retards making a new board to make sure a game is only discussed exactly once (while preventing natural bullying of generals to prevent their worst excesses) means I think we deserved this hell of people who need to say a /pol/ word every three words or they die.
>>741294569cant wait for shartyfags, oldfags with troll's remorse and fake oldfags that use meme words like "tourist" to revise history a bit more than it already is
>>741322228Do you think this website could heal if they got rid of /pol/?
>>741322768Ask anyone under the age of 25 what the fuck a Quake is. It was straight up Marathon tier uncware until Bungie revitalized it
>>741317115>>741317884I quote the cheeseposter:>80 threads per hour and almost each and every single one of them were just twitter or reddit screencaps, if not copy pastes of the image + text from either one.>during peak hours, there would be about 2~5 xhitter and reddit parrot threads in the timespan that it could search new OPs for possible matches and post the source in them>even if I were to improve the speed and actually run multiple threads of it, at times it would simply NOT be able to keep up with the 60 second cooldown on posts without filling up a long queue of threads to post in>so I just blacklisted /v/ on my router
>4chan dying a slow deadThis is good, isn't it...
>>741322863>Unleashing /pol/ on everyone.About the only thing worse. The only treatment that's briefly worked is the board combination april fools and I'm pretty sure if we ran that for more than a day the bronies would have ended up at "summer" camp. Besides the whole reason you even know its an issue is because people use multiple boards to discuss the exact same fucking thing.
>>741298978boomer humor is so cringe
>>741322863You don't want that. My kike and tranny seething would be unbound then
>>741299298▲▲▲
I don't even know if any of you have actually been here for that long. Ten years ago mentally ill freaks would be posting images of yellow wojak with a playstation hat and he would suck the other consoles into his anus.Before that, the CAPTCHA was typing in a word that was displayed in a wavy font. And very few people will remember this but you could actually type the n word into the CAPTCHA and it would still count it as a pass and it wouldn't fail you if you did that as long as you still typed the word in as well.moot actually hated /pol/ the most of all boards and he actually trolled them before he left by temporarily renaming the board to /the 8 steps to cuckolding/ and if you type cuck in all capital letters even today it gets replaced with KEK I think. After moot sold the website to Hiro, he implemented a filter that filters the word t.b.h. without the dots and converts it to desu. You can't post if you type "moot #faggot" into the Name field. There's still an archive of the old 4chan flash games on https://4chan.org/flashThere used to be a technique to blankposting I forget what it was I think if you just typed two spoilers in a row and nothing else it would let you make a post without any comment content but they actually patched that after people found out about it.The website's PHP code was never updated after moot left around 2015 so they were actually using 10 year old PHP which had known vulnerabilities in it, which allowed some guy from the UK to hack all of 4chan recently, some of you might actually remember that one. They updated it since then though haha. A lot of massive events happened on 4chan like the Fappening which was when people on 4chan found out that the government was like stealing photos of naked celebrities and 4chan somehow got access to it and leaked the photos. Or ebola-chan, or the poole's closed, or the backrooms. SCP. It used to follow a 4chan -> Reddit -> Twitter -> Rest of the internet pipeline lol.
>>7412966202010 was when i first thought "wow this place can't possibly get worse"lollmao
>>741299298
>>741323026the april fools events have been some of the best shit on this site recently. it's a shame the changes didn't stick.
>>741322901they might not know what Quake is but they sure do know what Counter Strike 2 isI'm sure I don't have to tell you what engine Counter Strike as a whole derives its source fromall roads lead back to Quake and Doom
>>741300716i miss the new trollface. that was the first meta troll i fell for
>>741323089>you could actually type the n word into the CAPTCHAit was called operation renigger and it was based. poisoning AI training data like that is punk as hell.
>>741300716The originalfigs definitely don't use the website anymore lol.
This is the oldfag thread?Can anyone assure me I'm not insane, because I remember /v/ used to have KAWAII TRUCK / KAWAII ATTACK threads before with cute ascii truck and I remember seeing those before for moe game threads or otome games.
>>741319239anon I'm so glad to see someone else post this opinion because I've also suspected it for a while. SA posters have always been the most irony poisoned self hating cunts online, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I read about/meet people involved with prissy e-police bullshit it always comes down to a bunch of old goons. I'm glad I never paid 10 bux because it seems to put a permanent mark on your soul.
>>741322920We've been fucked a long time. Hiro was at best an absentee landlord with a failed and barely even implemented plan to...sell toys, and mossad only keeps the place up for agitprop. There's occasional diamonds in the rough of course but post april last year it's more like diamonds in the sea. But times change and we're also fucked by the migration to discord from the next generation. But all things end anon, no reason to be sad be hapy. Find somewhere new :)Before mossad wakes up and I get assasinated for posting porn have some very autistic man who read out a /tg/ copypasta from uuuh...2016? I think. The original thread is lost media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klZddsaQLSA
>>741323184Halo led to Titanfall whose movement is still being used this day. Now that I'm thinking about it I just miss good games lmao
>>741300716Damn I'm on the edge of not being able to post. Thank god.
>>741296061>2015 culture wars destroyed this websiteIphone in 08 did it
>>741322863Read the thread and you'll know that the answer is no. Before /pol/ there used to be other boogeymen(/b/tards namely) that magically prevented /v/ from talking about videogames. Many "oldfags" also tend to forget how bad the console war used to be in the past. There were so many games you simply couldn't talk about for years because the threads were immediately shat up by console war seething. I think the same retards just grew up and are now seething about big boy grown up topics like politics and culture shit.
>>741323410>I just miss good games lmaoSame, honestly.
>>741305752>We called each other nigga and it wasn't an insult any more grave than "idiot" it was just what we called each other because we were edgySame thing with fag. Anons nowadays take insults literally. They don't say tranny just to insult you, they say tranny and are actually accusing you of being one.
Anyone remember the Japanese Winnie the Pooh baseball game? The one where Christopher Robin raped you to death, I want to say it was around Christmas 2011? 2012? My hard drive died after that so I lost all the OC
>>741322863>healIf you killed /pol/ the site would die. About 1/3rd of the traffic is predominately /pol/, and /pol/ is likely the most profitable board for the site overall, both in how it draws in traffic as well as how its userbase likely engages with and buys more adspace than other boards.All killing /pol/ would do is kill the site. /v/ and /vg/ could maybe carry the burden, but I severely doubt that, especially since a majority of those board's userbases are bots. Every other board is dead. Killing /pol/ won't suddenly make /a/ active, because the reason people left /a/ in the first place was because the board itself sucked. The site culture sucked for /cgl/, that's why that board died, and so on and so on. The idea of /pol/ as this big boogeyman that's negatively influencing the rest of this site is retarded. I can go on /pol/ and see everyone there is raging at Trump again, but on /v/ everyone loves him. There is no grand crossover.
>>741322863that always makes things worse, when /r9k/ got deleted way back, it spilled out and made the whole site worse.it was even worse when they shut down /b/ for a bit, /x/ never recovered from that.the only solution is for /pol/ to have never been made in the first place
>>741296561As a turboautist with zero exposure to normalslime news and culture can someone tell me what the fappening even was? Celebrity nudes got posted on /b/ or something?
>>741303570And his score was still being generous.
>>741323531it had occasional rennysances but uuuh here: chrome-extension://donbcfbmhbcapadipfkeojnmajbakjdc/player.html#https://dn710008.ca.archive.org/0/items/homerunderby_en/homerunderby_en.swif you have ruffle anyway. Anyway goodnight fuckers.
>>741323678>Celebrity nudes got posted on /b/ or something?pretty much. big archive of them posted on 4chan and shared all over the 'net. it was only a big deal because it had celebshit in it so normies noticed.
>>741323708fuck's sake, wrong link: https://archive.org/download/homerunderby_en
>>741323658>when /r9k/ got deleted way back, it spilled out and made the whole site worseNigga, we got /soc/ plus the board split into /lit/ and /sci/ before that. There was no "lots of old9kers spilled out and ruined other places".
>>741323708>Anyway goodnight fuckers.See you space cowboy
>>741323678Yup, IIRC some guy hacked into a bunch of celeb's iClouds and got their nudes.
>>741296305moots failed startup was the real beginning of the end
>>7412995450/10 missing the best one >my face when Americans call cold on the cob "popsicles"
>>741296061the site literally destroyed itself. a bunch of american retards thought voting for a clown as president would be funny "because it will piss people off teehee" and now they're shocked that the clown built up a cult and personally made choices that have had direct impacts on them like forcing every single console manufacturer to skyrocket prices and delay products over the clown's tariff jerkoff show.
Hey boo
>>741323708>>741323779Thanks nigga, have a good night
>>741323678>>741323769It almost bankrupted moot which would have been the end of 4chan.>>741323913LOL you now remember canv.as>>7413239384chan was in a poor state way before 2016.
>>741297619normalfaggots. Anyone who says le brown pipo is an election tourist.
>>741323678apple cloud storage got hacked. people found celeb nudes. 4chan was known as the edgy hacker website so normalfags came here to see the celeb nudes because they didnt know of any other scummy porn websites
>>741324004>LOL you now remember canv.asFunny thing was after NEETing for a while I eventually went to college (~2019) and was told we'd be using Canvas and I actually thought we were gonna be using moot's site.
>>741323564>The idea of /pol/ as this big boogeyman that's negatively influencing the rest of this site is retardedAnd a psyop created by a college think tank, posted relentlessly by bots. Most organic anti-/pol/ "people" (its a discord that posts this shit btw) have been spamming the board. It's stupid easy since mods don't really exist. /pw/ is one of the worst boards here, and it's the result of one dude doing a console war against himself. Thousands of posts throughout the years, constantly on 4chan arguing with himself. When you see an anti-/pol/ post, do yourself a favor, and look up a /v/ archive. Search for the commonly used phrasing and word usage, and you'll notice that the posts tend to read the same. Congrats, you found a consensus crack.You'll see a stooge respond to this post. He'll be using one of his canned responses. Also bringing up the archives at all causes insane asshurt.
>>741323340They probably did, but this could have only lasted a month and still lodged itself in your memory
>>741323913honestly true. his whole "I wanna be a real big boy tech entrepreneur" arc was a fucking joke and also LITERALLY the reason gamergate became an issue. Zoe Quinn made a post on bsky recently where she said she had just straightup asked him to ban discussion of it on the site and he said yes because he wanted to make a good impression in the indie game community because of his startup grind. Then we got the whole luggage lad saga and his pitiful employment at Google doing god knows what.Did you guys ever try his other website, canv.as? It was weird as fuck but I kinda liked it. Unfortunately I think it got zero users and he had to shut it off under a year.Pic related is some photo of moot I found leaked from his instagram or some shit years ago.I think it's kinda interesting how he just scrubbed himself from the whole internet. He might be a fag but maybe it's a sign for us all...
>>741301530and they were right
>>741323769There are resident Hollywood shills who live on /tv/ and will come out of nowhere if you discuss it saying "lol this guy thinks that was real" and other shit like that. It's amazing
>>741324115Yeah I was in grad school from ~'16-'19. My school had some online shit called canvas and I always thought of moot's shit when I had to use it haha
>>741322863/pol/ never should've even existed, politics are the most normalfag hobby in existence/leftypol/ and /soc/ should also be gone
>>741324161But what about meximoot?
>>741324324Politics weren't its mainstay, though. It was mostly about civil theological discussion about the destructive nature of Juden and its ties to stormfront.
>>741324004how did it bankrupt moot wtf? did the traffic increase that much? normies confuse me.
>>741324324>Being raped by yids is a normie hobbieI know and talking about it is how you get unraped. Hope that helps. Quit crying about /pol/, you're living it.
>>741324468>>741324437Case in point, raging normalfags that have no business being anywhere near the internet at all
>>741324468>talking about it is how you you unrapedhow? seems like instead of getting unraped people just start raping each other instead
>>741322920Soon we shall be free.
>>741300716been here for over 15 years and i only started not feeling like a newfag like last year when it felt like the quality of /v/ dropped off a cliffobviously there were other bad times, namely 2016, but i honestly think sharty did more damage
>>741322918>>80 threads per hour and almost each and every single one of them were just twitter or reddit screencapswelcome to jeeting
>>7412976194chan had a lot of good moments but it also directly fostered a lot of this shit. people got addicted to ragebait and political shitflinging anonymously, and 4chan was one of the first places online where that was popular. Now every site with a comments section is 4chan but worse, and there is no place you can really go to have good fun outside of shit like discords with small groups of people that trust each other, but you can't really have that anonymously the same way 4chan allows. I've been /here/ since like 2008, I wish I had older screenshots but here's one from 2013 where I had 4chan in my bookmarks bar. Only still have this image because I was a dumb highschooler that was optimistic about the future, well the economy went to shit so the degree I ended up getting thanks to being kinda smart back then doesn't help for shit either. Damn do I get nostalgic looking at old images like this, half of the websites on my bookmark bar are completely dead and the other half has mostly gotten much worse. I was cringe in a lot of ways back then, still trying to find myself, but I'd give anything to go back to when I could unironically have a fun day looking at the new Smash roster reveals, seeing whatever new nerdy shit Thinkgeek thought up, checking on the few webcomics I followed, posting on /v/ and /b/, watching the new AVGN episode in the low double digit episode count, then checking ebay to see if any of the games I was hoping to buy had a good sale ending soon I could snipe back when bots weren't bidding on anything below market value.
>>741324456moot had to testify in court, dude.
>>741324161I mean, he put a lot of effort keeping us afloat in his youth, I dont blame him entirely for eventually trying to "do something more". If all he wants to do now is normalfag it up and have a family, then fuck it hes welcome to at this point, he couldn’t have stopped the internet as a whole from going to shit.
>>741324697>sharty did more damageagreed. I would rather be mildly annoyed by newfags than see 90% of the board spammed because of some schizophrenic grudge match.
>>741322228>I am actually seeing Halo and Gears of War nostalgia threads for fucks sake.What's wrong with that? People talking about vidya they liked instead of just posting another worthless twitter screencap thread?
>>741296061You faggots are all wrongThe site went to shit when moot the cuck decided to sell it out to Epstein Israel Jews As per the files >>741297619Israel
>>741322228i used to think halo was the epitome of normalslime trash but over the years, some of the most autistic people i've met have been halo obsessed freaks. they have earned my grudging respect. i still dont understand anyone giving a shit about gears of war though.
>>741322654that's a joke considering the US is one of the biggest examples of a group of people tearing themselves apart over their differences. Every single website has damn near every conversation derailed by your people shitting themselves over your elections.
>>741297619Jews
>>741325040>every website is YOU trying to derail conversation into what I'm trying to derail conversation intook
>>741324161I have mixed feelings about moot, he was kind of a fag but at the same time I can't imagine running 4chan once it got big was easy. I even feel the same way about Lowtax even if he did spawn the SA hydra. They weren't great people but they did set the tone for the early-middle internet of the 2000s. Probably more nostalgia than anything though.
>>741325141He was a fag but he was "our fag". Its just the way these things go.
>>741321990Thanks anon, using that image I was able to find the further edit, but the last panel with the proper clown edit still eludes me.
>>741297619Normies ruin everything
>>741297619iphones
>>741325141I have mixed feelings because I met him at the last 4chan panel in 2013. I didn't talk much and only got a gay picture with him lol didn't even thank him for making 4chan. On the other hand, he made a lot of dumb decisions such as ruining my favorite 'home' board, old /r9k/. He should have left it deleted.
>>741296846Legendary
>>741325331found the 5th panel edit, missing the 6th
>>741325040>damn near every conversation derailed by your people shitting themselves over your electionsThat's what you're trying to do right now, when you start seething with NO prompting. You are the exact problem that needs to be solved.
>>741298639They backpedaled on that, it was supposed to happen months ago. It's unlikely to actually happen any time soon given they know most people will just quit, including the ones paying them.>>741305579People don't pay for the emotes as much as because they know the site can't exist without money. 4chan is awesome, but discord is the only place I can quickly contact all of my friends including online ones I wouldn't want to associate with enough to give an IRL phone number. It's an all-in-one free texting/calling app, big group chat for gaming or even just chatting with friends, streaming platform for people you know, and file storage. It's also unironically one of the best ways to do modern piracy outside of torrents, because it's not indexed by search engines and you can get or give files directly 1:1 with other people.The file size limit is the real one I care about as far as benefits go. 500MB per file means I can store my pirated shows there, even most pirated movies if I encode them to fit in 500MB (sometimes splitting them into 2 or rarely 3 files). I have literal terabytes of pirated media stored on their servers indefinitely in DMs between my account and a sock account made for this specific purpose. I can still instantly access anything uploaded years ago because while their search bar kinda sucks, typing "Full Metal Alchemist Season 1" at the start of uploading those episodes is enough to get the search bar to bring it up when you search "Full Metal Alchemist".

>>741294569>first three replies are one minute apartTotally organic thread.
>>741297619Monetization
>>741302567yeah this is the reason why irony poisoned ruined the internet. you can't make good jokes anymore without people stonewalling it or acting like jokes are cringe.
>>741325851Don't forget every thread with people joking around in it has at least three faggots saying something like>None of this is funny
>>741297619Jews gave tumblr a platform because the left and right uniting during occupy wall street scared them shitless, so they sought the most divisive shit they could find and it was all in tumblr.
>>741325418one of my greatest regrets is being too autistically shy to go to cons back then and see the 4chan panels...
>>741325645>>741325139The post I replied to was literally "hurr durr americans are the best on the internet", fuck off if you think I brought it up
>>741298006Anime girls if they were irl

>>741304236typical of frogposters to doompost and shit on anything other people like while contributing exactly nothing themselves
>>741325640found another panel that i'd forgotten about, now all that's missing is the reversion to clown panel after this one.
>>741326068Americans, Japs, and Euros are infinitely better on the internet than Chinese and Indians, yes
>>74130071619 years well spent
>>741298208I already wish this was the case but instead people have to tell everyone that they're pirating and which websites to find everything
>>741305752>If you brought up you were black, white, a girl, or whatever then you were mocked because we were anon.this. "tits or gtfo" was literally just the way of saying "we don't care if you're a girl because women aren't special here just for being women".
>>741303570>remember thinking this was crazy low at the time>play the game>am intensely disappointed by itAt this point I'd struggle to give it more than a 6 desu. He was right.
>>741326221wait... IT'S 2026 NOT 2025 fuggggggggg>20 years on this site
>>741326124It happened before you trooned out.
>>741303507updooting this post good sir
>>741305752>Now you say anything, even something probably true and someone claims you're a black transexual woman and your identity nullifies whatever you say. It's the exact opposite of what it used to be.unfortunately true. a massive amount of actual morons treat variants of "you're brown" as some instant win in any anonymous conversation, when anyone with eyes can tell that what they're doing is admitting they got upset by the post and don't actually have any rebuttal other than a tantrum. it's essentially permanently killed 4chan, you can't have a conversation here anymore between the irony poisoning and people that rush to bad faith non sequiturs any time they aren't happy, which is constantly because so many people spend all day malding here because they have nothing else in their lives going right for them.
>>741326194whatever you have to tell yourself to excuse how your political slop ruined the internet.
ur a fagetBother versions of Vtec kicked in yo
>>741298870>>741298947>DUDE INNOCENT NON-POLITICALLY CHARGED NON-IRONY POISONED HUMOR LMAOBegone, predditor.
>>741308685I actually got some shit done around the houseand I was fucking miserablemaybe 4chan never go down again
>>741306525legit just irony poisoning. there is nothing wrong with sincerity, but when you constantly see people mock it then your mind starts to doubt it because humans are a tribal social species and it is hardcoded into us to seek acceptance in the tribe. for a lot of people that manifests as extreme racism (because they see their tribe as people with their skin color) and for a lot of people that's shaming anything they feel like shaming even if the reason is arbitrary. even the best of us get manipulated by it, if telling a good joke just gets made fun of then people stop telling jokes unless it's ironic or they're trolling.
>>741326460>go into the most seemingly inoffensive, banal thread in existence>discourse is just people calling each other brown, tranny or indian ad-nauseaum posting tiktok webms of third-worlders >thread archives with over 600 postsI don't get how people think this is the site is supposed to be now. It feels like a mixture of twitter with a dash of schizo echochamber thrown in. Like everyones been called brown at this point, so were all brown now. Its not special, lets move on. Like just fucking talk about the videogame medium for a few seconds..
>>741304236>All this shit is painfully unfunny. Were oldtroons mentally retarded?>filename
>>741324520qrd?
>>741295053Gay ass Golden internet age boomers use to communicate to each other like women talk to their fucking dogs and will tell us we just don’t get it. That Moot guy seemed like a literal faggot too
>>741326174shame the clown edit appears to have been lost, the only one that is seemingly available is not the one i remember.it was an edit of the first panel, instead of a repeat of the last.been almost 6 years so it figures it didn't survive the archive purges.
>>741326706It's people that have ruined their lives already just lashing out at anyone around them, even digitally. They cannot handle decorum or seething alone, they are upset so they want to ruin other people's days too. a lot of fags never got told no as kids either and now as manchildren they're online 18+ hours a day and spend all of that time lashing out because they are miserable and can no longer enjoy things, their only joy comes from the momentary smirk of ruining things for someone else.
>>741326670Irony poisoning is a plague. A lot of people dislike undertale, but honestly what sold me on it, is that its brand of cringe was free of irony poisoning, when that shit was at an all time high.I will not apologize for my tastes, video games.
>>741326787Moot was a faggot, thats the only thing you got right.
>>741326521As we all know, American politics was only invented in 2016.
>>741313850half of the /v/ posts are made by bots btw
>>741327004
>>741326997nice further excuse. american politics didn't infest every /v/ thread until the 2016-election american shitflinging. nobody was derailing every 2009 thread to talk about obama. we don't give a shit if you guys were fighting in your bars, you fight every day on the internet now.
>>741300791grills truly are /v/'s weakness, you need only look at the front page to know.
>>741327115Sure thing pal. Maybe you and the other non-Americans/Japs/Euros can make your own, better internet? Really punish us for our politics.
>>741307793No one wants to talk about this>>741315337/pol/ was created immediately after the meeting btw
>>741326997He's saying buzzwords like "slop" and ignoring the early 2010s in favor of 2016. Why respond to such obvious newfaggotry?
>>741319893before the cataclysm tptb will pick the last remaining 4chan users and take them to their bunkers to preserve what little of value is left on the world
>>741300568/thread
>>741327217Thread's about to croak anyway and I'm on the clock until 8, so why not
>>741326995Nah you hit something genuine there. I play a lot of "cringe" games with dumb humor, most recently The Hundred Line Last Defense Whatever, from the Daganronpa guys, and if you don't stop yourself from enjoying it because "oh no cringe they are telling jokes without irony" then it's really fucking funny when it tries to be. Too many people let the "stop having fun" guys win, and they don't play fun games out of fear of them being cringe. I haven't played Deltarune yet because I don't like jumping on early access/unfinished titles, but just watching the visceral waves of /v/ shitposters acting like Deltarune fans getting happy that they're getting more content soon in the last Nintendo Direct makes me interested in it. Those people can't be happy, they see like 50 new games and like 0 so they lash out at the people that got genuinely excited for one.
>>741300367Reminder that this faggot and his shitty comic is the reason/v/ became a redit colony.
>>741327115Stay off of burger sites if it upsets you.
>>741327315>supporting UchikoshiGo back to your general, Danganautist.
>>741307793True
>>741327217classic modern 4chan garbage post. "you have to ignore their points because they used a word that I fully understand but I don't like reading it! now I will post ad hominems and claim this means they're young because that's a replacement for an argument!"
>>741301096>"how do I quickscope"
>>741327365>supportingI know how to use torrents
>>741327337this site is based on a japanese website and owned by a japanese man, retard. no american has had anything to do with it for over a decade.
>>741327440The classic modern 4chan garbage post is using modern Twitter lingo like a complete fucking retard and then acting like you are owed an intricate debate full of nuance countering your absolutely retarded faggotry.>uh you are a poop face>what the fuck you can't just call me stupid you have to debate my insult REEEEEEENot even that anon but shut the fuck up nigger. If this place was still any decent you'd get a month long ban for using social media slang alone you fucking troglodyte.
>>741327440You use newfag buzzwords because you are new to 4chan.
>>741327592>modern Twitter lingoshows how poorly you fit in here when you don't even realize the term came from 4chan, and not even long ago
>>741327539>by a japanese manMaybe? It's owned by the Good Smile Company, an Eleven toy store. Not Hiro.
>>741327641>not even long agoNigger filth even admits to it.
>>741327610I've been posting about my games here a hell of a lot longer than anyone that thinks ad hominems are capable of winning arguments.
>>741327668That's why I said a japanese man instead of Hiro. Good Smile is corpo but it's japanese corpo.
>>741327719He has been defending himself using "slop". He hasn't even been here since before the turn of the decade, much less 2016 which would still make him painfully new.
>>741327315>and if you don't stop yourself from enjoying it because "oh no cringe they are telling jokes without irony" then it's really fucking funny when it tries to be.Yeah you get it, I've gotten to the point where if I find myself enjoying something, I dont second guess myself, and allow myself to just enjoy the thing.Nothing wrong with examining what you like of course but its good to just "hey you know what, Im having a good time.">I haven't played Deltarune yet because I don't like jumping on early access/unfinished titlesI definitely get that though>Those people can't be happy,A lot of people hide behind that irony and discontent, its worse in a lot of ways than old internet edginess
>>741327778>>He has been defending himself using "slop".I've been pointing out that the two of you circlejerking with ad hominems isn't a replacement for an argument. replying to each other over and over doesn't erase the fact that neither of you can even attempt to argue against the pure facts I brought up.
So do so called "oldfags" make it a point to always update their vocabulary to whatever faggoty slang the latest twitter tourists came up with? No wonder this site is borderline unusable now.
>>741326787>seemed likeHello newfag!
>>741328306Newfags latch on to whichever buzzwords are popular when they found 4chan.
