The very first thread I browsed here was someone asking for Rule 34 on Swanna the week it was revealed. One anon told him to go to /b/, and another called it "Bra swan". It was a silly moment that stuck with me.I never got why the board was changed from /tr/ to /vp/. I fucked off for a year only to find the name of the board changed.

Like a second wind for that childlike excitement and schoolyard discussion. The period from the HGSS reveal up through XY's launch was a high water mark for the games, but you assholes made that era truly special. Get a job. Fuck off and die. Thanks for the memories

I was here for /tr/, I remember the Bui spams, the Pokémon General, the Yandere Lyra threads, the pre Gen 5 hype threads, the Aerodactyl tickle spam, the simgle master, the ;<, the streams, the gets, the board -tans. If it happened, I've seen it.I wish this place remained a secret club of sorts, now its just the board with the most underages and twitterfags coming for "epic leaks". It's sad to see what /vp/ is but at least there are some actual /tr/ainers lurking about, stay cool you guys.
>>58325166I wish I could've been there before it all went to shit. Feel like I missed the boat.
>>58324896>>58325010It's funny how nowadays if you Garypost your posts gets deleted and you get a ban yet blatant softcore porn dump and genwar threads gets to flood the catalog with little to no mod intervention
>>58325179Mods and jannies hate oldschool fun because it implies the classic way of doing things is better than the new way.Same reason GETs are still disabled on /v/, even though Bateman going "checkem" is inoffensive compared to all of the gacha sluts, political/tranny faggotry, eceleb cockslurping and schizophrenic consolewar boogeymanning.

>>58325179>>58325186This image got me banned for a month about a decade back. Mainly because boobs on a Gardevoir was a ng. Its perfectly fine in this era.
>>58325024It was epic. For the win, even.The best part about the "old" internet in general is that it was completely free of normies. Only nerds had PCs. And nerds created these wonderful niches that only a specific set of people were interested in and were hard to find, but if they found those niches, they could become amazing communities.Then smartphones came and ruined it all by inviting masses of normalfags and their retarded bullshit to the internet. Corpos saw how much money they could make now, and that lead to the centralisation of online platforms. Basically like gathering all users like cattle and putting them in one giant pen to feed them ads for profit.Sounds overly dramativ, but it really is like that.
>>58325217So mods actually cared?
Gad reunion thread?
>>58325248Another major thing was that these nerds created things out of personal interest and desire to discuss their hobbies with others. None of this patreon shit or monetized Youtube faggotry.
>>58324109Were you the one who also sent out comp-tier Pokemon? Those were great.
>>58325050>We stand united what the fuck happened to this place? This shithole is one of the most divided and antagonistic places on the damn internet.
>>58325314Smartphones, 2013 and 2016 happened
>>58325285Yeah, exactly. It was just a huge hobby space. It wasn't about clout chasing or, even worse, earning money. It was just people talking about their personal interests and seeking others who liked the same things.Of course there were always people trolling and fishing for replies cause they wanted attention. But then websites started feeding into this behaviour, for example reddit with the upvote system. Normies LOVE attentionwhoring, so it all went rapidly downhill from there. Add monitization cancer and algorithms to the mix and you get this putrid pile of shit we call modern internet where no one is genuine anymore and doesn't have any passions.
>>58321653Wasn’t there also a writefag that went by Lyraanon? You barely see trips nowadays, it’s crazy.

>>58325248>>58325285>>58325357I mean, there’s nothing stopping people from being genuine and making things on the internet purely for enjoyment’s sake, especially with more and more people looking back on the old days and respecting others who do just that.Start a youtube channel about random things you like and refuse to monetise your videos, for example. Get into drawing and upload them somewhere, even if it’s shitty. The right people will find and appreciate your efforts.I’ll never understand people who are just doom and gloom yet won’t do anything to fight against the problems with the internet they’ve identified.
I made this image.

>>58325540Sure, you can do that, but it won't change the fact that you're surrounded by people who live on the new internet. You can't pretend it's just like it was back then. That internet is gone. That's just how it is.

>>58325656How does Discord work anyway? I know you can chat in groups but I’ve never really liked the idea of revealing my voice to strangers.I know it kind of defeats the point of using 4chan, but now that I think about it, a /vp/ discord could be an interesting idea in that there’d be more accountability for one’s behavior, meaning less genwarring, etc.

>>58325785Someone makes a "server". More similar to a board or subreddit than something they actually own. They then can invite people to it, and everyone who's a member gets their usernames added to a list of members visible to everyone in the server. The owner can then add channels where members can post text and images, or voice channels. People can also get roles that grant them moderation privileges in that server, access to restricted channels, or just a funny name color. Anyone in a discord server can also send dms to anyone else there outside the server.Thinking about all the elements here, I can't figure out why discord users become clout goblins and gossip or for nasty cliques. At least it seems like they do it more than users of other sites.
>>58325248It's true. Art is born of unique circumstances, but can only be protected by a wise sponsor who wishes to see it grow. The internet has no wise sponsor, so what could be considered art has now entered the rest of existence, where it's been job-ified and corporatized. Nothing to do about it for now. Just try to make pockets of art where you can amid the crap
>>58325248>The best part about the "old" internet in general is that it was completely free of normiesErm, actually, that's not exactly true. At least if you're referring to the 2000's era Internet in which 4chan was birthed. Technically there were normies on old social media sites like Myspace, but they seldom ever ventured out of those spaces. But really the big difference between then and say, the mid 2010's, was that going online was an ordeal. If you wanted to go on the Internet, you had to go inside and sit your ass down at a computer. Or a PSP. Jesus I remember using chatrooms and watching Homestar Runner on my fucking PSP. That's what really made it restrictive for normies. You couldn't use the Internet outside of your home/library. You had to really invest time to get onto the Internet. What forced this massive shift on the Internet was smartphones allowing people to connect from anywhere they were in the blink of an eye. Now even if you were a normie doing normie things outside away from your computer, you could still access the Internet. This coupled with the overall centralization of the Internet (because people want to be where everyone else is), which in turn led to more advertisers shilling stuff on the Internet (and demanding sanitation), and thus we have the Internet of today.The sad reality is, the normies from the 2000s had the right idea about the Internet in a way. There was the normie world off of the computer, and the Internet world on the computer. These worlds use to be separate, but now they are completely entangled, and everything is worse of because of it.
>>58325844>I can't figure out why discord users become clout goblins and gossip or for nasty cliques.The reason it seems like it happens more on Discord is just because that's where all the people are. It's easy to use, setup a server, and you can use it on any phone made in the last 8 years. It's like this everywhere. IRCs, private game servers, Facebook groups, etc. Unfortunately power just seems to fuck with a lot of people, and just like only certain people can be air traffic controllers, only certain people are really fit for moderator and admin roles. You need someone who gives a fuck, but not too much of a fuck. Someone who can alter the amount of administrator pressure they're applying to a server. But you also need users that are a specific amount of autistic. If they're not autistic enough, they'll complain about trivial shit. And if they're too autistic, they'll complain about trivial shit. What I don't quite understand is why it seems like people are somehow becoming more autistic these days compared to 10 years ago. Although it probably really is just all the processed food they're eating.
>>58325068Rule 15's still true, which means by default rule 14 is also true nostalgiafag.>>58324109I remember getting event 'mons I'd missed from Anon DNS servers, dunno if I got off yours though (seemed like EVERYONE had a DNS server going at one stage in the late 2010's).
>>58321245I just came by to say cute hat.
>>58321245>genned ancestryAnyone who cared about this was a Grade A faggot.
>>58325950>you can use it on any phone made in the last 8 years.Makes me wish there was a discord clone that just doesn’t work on phones for no apparent reason, and the developers never elaborate much to the frustration of normies everywhere.Theoretically it would be possible to make a new old internet, and preventing phones from accessing it would be critical. Fuck I wish I could code.
>>58325314>what the fuck happened to this place?transgenderism
>>58325050>We are /tr/ainersIn hindsight, maybe the name change was good. Tooday we would be known as /tr/annies, and I'm 100% this play would've been /qa/ 2.0, before the source leak.

>>58327021>Tooday we would be known as /tr/annies>implying we aren't already when we're probably the second most trooned out board after /lgbt/
>>58327024True, but /tr/annies would have given a sign. We are (relative) trans secured. Sure, there's one here and there, but their mental illness hasn't killed this place.Yet.

>>58325785>I know you can chat in groups but I’ve never really liked the idea of revealing my voice to strangers.You don't have to use voice at all, I pretty much never do except with close friends.Most people use it to chat via text, it's honestly not too dissimilar from IRC with several channels.>I know it kind of defeats the point of using 4chan, but now that I think about it, a /vp/ discord could be an interesting idea in that there’d be more accountability for one’s behavior, meaning less genwarring, etc.Lol, there's several /vp/ discords and they're all utter cancer full of insufferable people who plan raids etc.

>>58328438Hey /b/, I have a very serious problem. I'm fucking crying because of how stupid I am.Okay, so my girlfriend was supposed to come over to my house today because I was going to go take her to a movie. She lives about 20 minutes away, and the movie we were supposed to see started at 4:15, which was in about 40 minutes. I figured "cool, I'll just play Pokemon while I wait".So I'm playing Pokemon, and having a pretty damn good time. Anyway, she finally does show up, except she's crying as she walks into my room. Instead of doing the right thing by comforting her, I half-focus on my game and her. She starts telling me her cat died, and just as she was getting into it, I get into a random encounter in my game.A shiny pidgey. Holy shit. (For those of you who don't know/care, shiny Pokemon have less than a 1/1,000 chance of appearing; 1/8192 to be exact.). I stare into my screen in amazement, yelling "holy shit, YES", interrupting her mid-story. She sobs more, and she starts to yell "You don't even fucking care! YOU JUST WANT TO PLAY YOUR FUCKING GAME!" I'm still looking at my screen, still focusing on catching my shiny Pidgey, when she walks over, and tosses the game against the wall. I run over and pick up my DS hoping that nothing has changed on screen, and quickly noticed that she broke it. My system and my shiny Pidgey, gone forever.I start screaming every obscenity I know, and started flailing my arms around. I didn't know she was behind me, and apparently I backhanded her in the face while I was being a dumbass and swinging my fists around. She yells out "FUCK YOU", and runs out of my house in tears.What have I done? I've fucked up so badly, and I need to know how to approach her. I don't want a game of Pokemon to be responsible for ruining my best relationship ever. Help me, /b/.
>>58325540NTA but I've been uploading my shitty drawings to deviantart and pixiv for some time now, I hardly get interactions because I refuse to do commissions. There are a few others I've met along the way who do the same.
