>>6164512There was a time when b was usable? Yeah ikr, "We AIn't SKiddIes Like u" - who cares when it's all over reddit?
>>6166050>>6169275These kinds of videos now get millions of views from people that have never been on an imageboard their whole lives.
>>6169275cute
>>6170535no u

>>6171363My bad I should have posted something to bump.
>>6169279Jesus... What the fuck happened to the world? Everything is so gray and empty now.
>>6164512>>6169280>>6169281I would travel to the US just for this if gookmoot decided to host another one again one day.
>>61725594chan became a place for people who hate everything rather than a place just for people who just wanted to joke around and loved otaku stuff, videogames and computers.

BUMP
>>6172618Yeah, it really sucks that people come here just to troll or be racist or whatever the whole bnwo thing is or just drop pol nonsense into other anons attempts at having a discussion about a thing. Like dude, I just want chill out and have a few laughs while we talk about he man. I've tried leaving but x or discord just don't fit me very well I guess. Idk, I'm rambling and I apologize for this but I think just six months of proactive moderation would go along way to bringing this place back up to speed as an image board and as a place people would like to use again and it might even get a few more ad bucks. Which is why things keep getting worse year over year, why spend money on a site that can't make money? It's guys like IMBRED and their banner ads keeping the lights on.
>>6177637If they just banned the spergs who cry about trannies in every thread, the schizos spamming low effort threads, the indian aifag poltard and his chinese schizo counterpart, and kept the other poltards in 1-5 containments instead of 20 it’d be a great board.
>>6177605It's weird seeing /r9k/ with actual humans
What's your favorite thing about old 4chan?
>>6179128more animeless politics
>>6166050>>6169275>>6169766most anons today that don't even know about https://4chan.org/flash
>>6177605This makes me feel like 4chan is the last place you can have some kind simple uncurated small honest internet community of people. There's something soulless about discord compared to ventrilo, nobody had a profile and everyone turned their mic on to socialize instead of lurk and scroll
>>61802024chan really is unique in its format+size. I don't think they will allow it to stay this way.
>>6173398>>kino>>kino>>kino>kinoftfy
>>6180202>isHave you seen how many dead boards there are on 4chan? /b/ is proof is a corpse that's just moving through inertia. That board was so many people's entry into 4chan and for the last decade it's been worthless.
>>6181832offtopic, dumbass
>>6181833He is bumping it for the rainbow flags.
>>6169280>how about a straight shota board?>shit sucks faglmao, based
>>6181832>>6181835Can you stop spam bumping with off-topic garbage already
saved the catboxed version of this a couple of months ago on /gif/
>>6181835>skibidi fucking toilet>2000s or 4chan/2chan???????? bot????
>>6182262Nice. It's always a smart idea to post OC to catbox or something so it doesn't die with the thread.
>>6182262Amazing video for such a shitty board lol
>>6183601>always is bumping gay rainbow flag nazi and gay colors before diekill yourself stupid goyim
>>6182262I can see 3 different penises in that.
>>6183602Wut
>>6181832this is probably the smartest black i've seen all my life
>>6164515i wish frames were more relevant in the site's overall function. the thread watcher being off on its own is kind of disjointed but if it were kept in an iframe tab it could look more fitting.
>>6164515>>6184052you're not going to believe this:https://4chan.org/frames
>>6184118yeah, i know it's still there but what i was saying is it's just an outdated legacy element. it doesn't even match up with the theme you're using so it looks out of place unless you're using Yotsuba sitewide (or Yotsuba B if you toggle sfw boards only)
Huh, I'm a newfag but I noticed that I've seen a lot of these some 16 years ago on z0r de.
>>6184118I still use frames. Some browsers don't like it because of the outdated concept of embedded frames the way it's implemented.
>>61843334chan.org/frames uses <frameset> which is the proper way to do frames, what kind of browser doesn't still support HTML4?>>6184330many of them are flash files converted to video, z0r got several from /f/>>6179128/b/ being what people thought about when using 4chan. since then /b/ has been gutted by:+ lowering the max filesize from 3 to 2 (or maybe it was 4 to 2)+ the site now has four "random" boards:/b/ /trash/ /s4s/ /bant/maybe there's a 5th that i cant remember but the only thing that makes /b/ unique is allowing loli.
>>6182262what a waste of megabytes
2006 party /v/an
>>6184456>what kind of browser doesn't still support HTML4?Default security settings on security oriented browsers don't like the embedded frames for whatever reason. It's not that it's not supported, it's that it's blocked. librewolf and I think brave does this or at least did last time I checked.
>>6185389<frameset> isn't embedded frames, you're thinking of <iframe>. those are embedded.4chan.org/frames works in Brave so it's not a Chromium thing, and it works in Firefox as well. pic is in Brave.>Error: Upload failed.right, no jpgs allowed here. no screenshot but it works in Brave.
>>6174236Letting normies on the internet.
>>6174236letting the third world onto the internet
>>6186208yup... i miss the early 2000s so much, i bet the 90s internet was even comfier
>>6177605song name?
>>6181835This isn't nostalgic
>>6187190the democrat's "skibidi biden" parody is iconic propaganda tho.
>>6169262damn, havent seen it in a while
>>6169279i love this one!!
I have a question for oldfags:How were the imageboards then? there were so many unnecessary porn? It is incredibly frustrating how any NSFW board has devolved into pure absurdity.
>>6174236indians.
only real 90s kids remember when this board had more than 7 pages
>>6174236Smart white millenials extinct themselves by spending all their time watching a screen instead of making babies
>>6164512>bans raid threads>website becomes complete utter shit within a year
>>6186208People blame smart phones and a bunch of other shit but it was inevitable. Not just the third world but the average age of internet users will continue to get older. 2000-2010 was magical time because it was the big wave of internet users and they were all middle school to college aged. You can literally see the Internets life span as a human. No one on the internet really cared about politics or money. There was porn but people weren't obsessed with it like old men. People started getting older, started caring about the world, they no longer thought it was funny to convince people to kill themselves like edgy teenagers nor did they find any joy in stupid randumb shit anymore. People as they age get into politics, politicians and countries saw this and started pushing agendas. Companies realized the potential for profits and made everything a business. Now you don't know if you're talking to a person or with propagandist. Gone are the days of making youtube videos for fun, instead you have "influences" making careers of getting your attention.
>>6189962This is probably the most well worded description of what happened to the internet I've ever read, well put Anon. Shame about it all really, but the best any of us that are left can do is try to keep the small embers of the spirit alive lest it be lost forever.
>>6189083real niggas remember the original poster count, and you could tell who was samefagging their own thread
>>6164512>casually implying people who disagree with you should die, get cancer, are faggots, etc>everyone, including the gutter filth of 2000s 4chan, understands this is just how men socializewe have taken a drastic step backwards in society
>>6187951it was "slightly" more moderated then. /v/ wasn't /b/ 2.0, not to mention there weren't soijaks yet. i would say 2016 tourists ruined the site, but it started earlier. the election definitely was the biggest influx so far tho
We were such fags back then. But it was alright, we were good kids really.
sigourney is a candy-ass roody-poo
>>6190199lol u tk him 2da bar|?
>>6168998No, stupid american teenagers find it really self-gratifying to create an out-group (people who arrived after them at any given space) and claim said space is now 'dead' or 'dying' because some out group is doing something. B was always dogshit.
>>61742362016 was the tipping point, after that things just started gradually going downhill.
>>6182262Can you post the catbox version of this pls
>>6192639https://files.catbox.moe/ixvwnm.mp4
>>6192651Thanks!
>>6166050What the fuck is supposed to be going on on here?
>>6177605What is this?
>>6174236>wherewhen the lemurian race in ancient times let the literal spacejews crash on gaia (black rock which fell like a shining star, Bible) because they believed them when they said they were seeking asylum/shelter, which was a big lie by them.instead we got this, with life incompatible, parasitic egregore taking over /us/ and our planet and constant war and struggle .i wish i was joking, i hope it was worth it for you to get this information since im probably gonna get vacationed for a few days for saying this.
Anyone have the webm>gif matrix edit?
>>6185378>get to corner of combat lane>type "lupus1">run in shooting>everyone is typing "lupus1/2/3" and gets shot
>>6184456/int/ is effectively another /b/might as well rename /b/ to /tiktok/ or /porn/ these days>>6179932right? webm/mp4 just can't capture the charm of flash, like interactivity and hidden easter eggs (and processor rape)
>>6176960We mocked the shit out of people who wanted to make the world a better place, let the people who would ruin it take over so we could laugh at the first group of people panicking, and now we all realize we're stuck in a hellscape where we're too numb to even want to embrace death.It's like the middle-age Millennials you see now who are husks because they wrecked their bodies back in their 20s because they sincerely believed they would burn brightly enough to die before 30.
>>61855914chan literally came online on Sept 3683 1993. It was letting "normies" in from the beginning.
>>6178794
>>6182262>How many types of rekt threads are there?Vast majority of /gif/ in 2026 is tranny, bbc, scat, race-mixing, incest, cuckolding, faggot garbage.
>>6172618>4chan became a place for people who hate everything rather than a place just for people who just wanted to joke around and loved otaku stuff, videogames and computers.It's because there are no more nerds, obviously there's nuance to it but that's the long and short of it. All the nerdy hobbies and entertainment have been absorbed into the monoculture.The zoomers who would've been your average skinny nerd or fat fedora wearing nerd are now born inside the culture war. So now they're either an alt-right reactionary or liberal troon, or some bizarre combination.
can anyone tell me the name of this song?
>>6198587https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YntJzKVti8A
>>6193598Its from the good old days.I remember when this was first made.The tied up anime troon is a former jannie/mod named snackfags who was awful..
>>6169275>representation of a 4chan user back then>some green guy in a suit with a text blurb as a face>representation of a 4chan user now>some soijak or gigachad cringethe globalisation of the internet has been the biggest downfall of this website...
>>6198827>wojak and pepeDo you remember rare pepes?I honestly think it's the last real meme, a prescient one at that.
>>6194024funny enough, i just randomly came across this lol
>>6168998Yeah, back when Fluffy Abuse wasn't banned
>>6198785I can tell from your use of the words "troon" and "jannie" that you either weren't here back then, or you're an oldfag who made the mistake of changing with the site.
NEVAR FORGET We made this meme first. This was an /f/ meme first, then we shared it with 2ch and 2chan (back when we used to be on speaking terms), where it spread to Nico Nico Douga and morphed into the Hatsune Miku meme we know today.
>>6193772Where does the song come from?
>>6164681And we killed them
>>6201106Running in the 90s
Anyone got a webm of The Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny?I saw it on Uncyclopedia before I ever got to 4chan but it was part of the same cluster of silly young nerds I identify with
>>6202773
I miss /f/ =(
>>6200951This song feels sad. It's like hearing a voice recording from someone who is dead.
I'm glad I found this thread. It's been years since I've been to this website. It's been way too long.Someone mentioned that /f/ was gone, and sure enough it's dead. I didn't expect to see it up and running anymore but still. Visited /b/ for the first time in a very long time. Not much has changed. /b/ was never good. I remember when people were pissed at the newfags posting ragecomics or later pepe. It's always been a part of the cycle. At least all of it had creative energy. At this point the pretense is gone, now it's just effortless porn and spam. It looks like most of the website is a containment board now and I'm not sure what it's trying to keep out or keep in when nearly every thread is shit. I wonder if yall get the same feeling I do. There's there's no where to go, no where to fit in. People are either so vapid that they can't hold an interesting conversation, or so sensitive that even having a mere thought of disagreement instantly shuts them down. There's no back and forth, even in a playful manner. On top of that, everything is so sterile and uniform that any dissent makes you stand out. It's not just politics, it's on every dumbfuck normie thing out there. Even as I age, I just can't go along with all the ways things have changed. I dunno if any of yall deal with the same shit, but I thought I'd throw it out there regardless. Got a kick out of seeing half this shit I've nearly forgotten about. Cheers from a fellow oldfag, and I hope yall fuckers are doing alright.
>>6204610>It's not just politics, it's on every dumbfuck normie thing out there.This is the worst of all, everyone's in the same spaces and everyone's pissed off all the time. Even doing the bare minimum to separate yourself like not using social media gets people assuming things about you, there's really no escape.I've been thinking about how even as recently as the early 2010s I used to be able to go online for a couple hours and then turn off my PC and internet and go do something else, even if it was just watching TV. Internet addiction is cool and mainstream now so everything's shifted online and directed towards icons and text and not IRL people, so being aggressive to others is seen as the same as running over NPCs in GTA, as if nobody you talk to is real. I just wish I enjoyed the pre-mass internet era before it turned to this.
>>6169262I remember losing my shit to this back in the day
>>6204610Check out some of the (former) infinity chan webring websites likeZzzćhanSmugʻloliOr trasĥchanAll have webring connections to the rest.Sorry for the weird text, I don't think this site wants me to post one of these.
>>6204772>ZZZThis is the best one out of all of them. t. uses itI recommend anyone who can integrate and wants to have a good alternative to this cesspit goes there. Just lurk for some time before posting.
>>6168998For a while /b/ was consistently full of gore, rekt, animal abuse, bestiality and CP
>>6206246I miss old /B/.
>>6173398>he doesn't know about /mlpol/
>>6173398One could say /mlpol/ was the last remnant of the pre 2016 /pol/ before it was swallowed it whole by schizoids and 3rd worlders, (the merged boards, not the incredibly gay altchan)
>>6204610In addition to nerds being erased from their own subculture, subcultures themselves are effectively gone. Everything is part of the monoculture where all you need to take over a subculture that still exists in some form is high social capital/clout, because all the hard work and passion that goes into subcultures have already been packaged into easy to digest wikis, youtube videos and tiktok. Normalfags are never content with having enough social capital/clout, they always want more.
>>6207344Unrelated but>filenameGod, I forgot when websites would name emotes "[thing]plz". Sometimes it's the small things that are the fun ones to remember.
Not even an oldfag, joined this place in 2021. It's gotten so much worse in this small time period alone.
I vaguely recall a gif of a movie/show, some bloke and a younger girl overlooking a town and reminiscing a bit, edited to be 4ch remembering the good times (probably the 2008-era)..Or something like thatIf anyone can make sense of my shitty memory, I'll love you forever - can't find the gif and my autism won't let me give up
>>6198810Sheeeit
>>6207749>2021What is the point of even making that post? I genuinely don't understand what zoomers think they gain by posting shit like this. moot was LONG gone and Lowtax (RIP) died that year.
60 second wait on a dead board so they can get your email to sell it to data companies. thanks hiroshim00t, very cool>>6196245so 2016 /b/go to /t/ if you want porn fag
>>6169275I keep clicking at the end, but it won't go "desu!"I miss Flash...
>>6172559Mass immigration destroying countries, jews in power, a readily available internet connection for the 3rd world, and many more things has made the planet into a mass of misery and hatred that bleeds in everywhere. There is simply no way to escape how bad the world has become now. Maybe 2012 really was the end. I still have hope for the future however.
>>6169281why the hate on egl bruh
>>6174236when 9gag fags started to bring the memes to the normies , and some latam fuggers translating the humor even if it doesnt have sense in their language or just changing them completely
>>6178296go away trannie
>>6200951these thread makes my feel like i were 9 yo again
>>6204614how oldfag i am if i remember that?
>>6174236You can see in the video >>6169281>>6169280that even nerds and loser back then were more socially adjusted than a normie of today. Everybody became crazy and unealthy for some reason
>>6213448>for some reasonmy assumption is before you'd go online after having spent most of your life talking to people irl, and would spend the majority of your time in the real world too. there just weren't enough people to make staying online all day seem normal and if you were like that you'd just be mocked.nowadays people proudly spend all day online and anyone born in the past 20 years has basically grown up online, so a lot of people get all their cues on behaviour from insane people on the internet. social media is also undeniably massive, so people just assume any trend they see is what's normal and change their beliefs accordingly, even when they were just tricked into some niche community by the algorithm.
>>6213331Makes me feel like a bunch of posers boting it up in a thread.I don't recognize your posts at all, who are you, do you even drink.I'll see my niggas on christm/a/s they come home.
>>6174236when the fish crawled out of the water it was all over
I mean, we're having a conversation on what is a dead imageboard populated by bots and shills of a certain ethnic persuasion AND EVEN THEN it somehow still surprises me how dead long-form posting is. I don't know why I keep expecting proper discussions here or anywhere on the internet.
>>6164515i show this to my grandchildren when they brag about their 4d tiktok, we had this back then loser
>>6178319this
>>6169279No one is replying to this one despite it being the best video 4chan ever made because 2016+10 tourists don't click videos without thumbnails
>>6175525THIS
>>6213586i was always a lurker anon, many years ago, because i didnt understand too much how the things worked here, but then i started to post eventually i don drink, but because i dont like it, im not some summerfag dont worry

I wonder if moot was sacrificed on epstein's island.
>>6171372how's this video call? is it in the internet archive?I think it's one of the coolest things i've seen in while.
>>6215104People took trolling and contrarianism too serious and now no one would date be serious for fear of being ridiculed. Hell, why do you think /wsg/ even exists?

>>6171372Does anyone remember a webm around the time webms were added to the site, titled "/pol/ in a nutshell" that had footage of the game Metro 33 with some German electro techno music in the background ?
>>6179128no indians

>>6189962Certainly part of it.
>>6223954No he didn't.

>>6169279I remember watching this live. I didn't realise how bad things would get.
>>6172568>gookmootGookmoot doesn't give a shit anon, he took his money and ran, then gave the site completely to the glowies and their merry band of GrapeApe mods who are running it into the ground. At this point, I'm leaning to it being deliberate
Really do miss this old culture too. I didn't start using 4chan till 2009, and wasn't really keyed into board "culture" till maybe 2011. But I had been going to anime cons since 2004, and the con culture of the time was very much similar. Back when being a nerd and into anime/internet stuff was a social death sentence irl so just meeting up with people who knew what the fuck you were talking about was cool in and of itself. It made you share a certain comradery with everyone there. Now you go to a con or the internet and it's just overpopulated with normies.
>>6229541right?a lot of influencers too who doesnt know shit just shingeki no kyojin
>>6228083I remember a flash game like an old RPG in Japanese, it used fo be posted on /f/ often the music was cool but never managed to beat the game.Does anyone know where I can play it?
>>6229541I stopped going to those because of the extreme number of fags they attract. Cons have gotten really bad for drawing them in.
Anyone has the complete version of this one?
>>6178296
>>6174236"smartphones" is the real answer.
>>6230608AHAHA yeah fuck trannies trying to talk like they were the userbase. Just unban loli from every red fucking board like it was an alien thing to this piss hole in the first place. Blocking IP from klkeland would help too. Problem solved, normies and paidfags filtered.
>>6214755I still remember when I first heard that song, it was an ancient video of a raid on Second Life and the viewpoint was from someone modded to look like Perfect Cell
>>6171372I'm new. Why people were mad at Moot?
>>6232106He cucked out to anti-g*mergate critics by banning all gg discussion on the chinz among other atrocities. I can't even type out g*mergate without self-censoring because I'm not even sure if the ban filter has been lifted. It was a huge deal at the time and the repercussions of gg can be felt today. Some anons even theorize that the rise of the online alt-right and even Trump's eventual rise to presidency can be attributed to the puzzling hostility to the g*mergate movement. Any sane person couldn't wrap their heads around why people were so against g*mergate. I can't say for sure if the response to anti-gg is responsible for the world we live in today, but it's safe to assume that it has played a part in it.
>>6232106Also banned GETS (nobody could get dubs, trips, quints, etc for a while) and imposed stupid fucking word filters on various boards. Moot was being a faggot for some time for these reasons and many more, so I understand why anons got so frustrated by him.
>>6174917/f/ is dead nigger what do you expect me to do
>>6232418you can obviously type gamergate now lmfao. and no your off-topic culture war slapfest wasn't why a president was elected.
>>6232418>Some anons even theorize that the rise of the online alt-right and even Trump's eventual rise to presidency can be attributed to the puzzling hostility to the g*mergate movement.Gamergate.No faggot, 4chan didn't elect Trump you absolutely insane retarded fucker. People were mad that Obama turned out to be a faggot and the two choices at the end of the election were between a buffoon and a warhawk. You know what? There's a book that says that SA lead to Trump being elected, so if you want to follow a stupid point, follow it to the source. Fucking newfag.>>6231398>AHAHA yeah fuck trannies trying to talk like they were the userbase.Posts like this seem to not understand, THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. This specific brand of troonery exploded in the very early 10s when porn addiction, a need for novelty and lack of female attention all collided with social media and anons realized they could become their own gfs.

>>6232667You can't stop me from overreacting.Regardless,>It was a huge deal at the timeno it wasn't, it was entirely contained within our sphere and it was a non-event. And it would have remained that way until TPTB realized that this was their chance to completely co-opt the entirety of the gaming industry away from the gaming enthusiasts because they were easily bait-able retards. This lead to the "Gamers are dead" articles that all appeared at the same time in gaming sites.
>>6233051yes, that is why it suddenly became a big deal. it was artificially inflated for outrage content and each side reacting only further escalated this complete nonissue until it was somehow all over the regular news and being discussed in person by normies. 4chan was already in hot water from the isla vista shit that had /r9k/ celebrating their saint on every tv screen back in may, and that was coupled with the simultaneous probable inside job that caused 4chan and drawquest to be hacked on the same day. the latter was drained of its last remaining funds and had to be shut down immediately. moot already had personal drama with a woman tied to 4chan during that summer who later got roped into the gamergate fiasco (not the one he was supposedly friendzoned by in all those pictures, but she was involved as well) and by august he was dealing with the fappening leak that had jennifer lawrence trying to personally destroy 4chan with lawsuits. combined with the constant turmoil of various splinter altchans trying to steal the userbase of 4chan in anger over some moderation decision or another (something they have literally always done), the incessant sony and other gaming leaks posted on 4chan, staff repeatedly going rogue and doxing users or each other, the rapid politicization of seemingly every website into taking some sort of coherent ideological stance, and the fact that even the staff were confused by the speed and longevity of all this shit and suspected external involvement, it really isnt difficult to figure out why tptb would want to make sure 4chan became verboten in the public consciousness and moot would lose it. he was notorious for pissing off his staff by berating them and for acting in a self-destructive erratic manner when it came to his relationships with women, especially on the website itself. even in the earliest days of 4chan his staff would humiliate him using the userbase whenever they thought he was acting like a little dictator.
>>6233051>no it wasn'tDude, the two bitches at the centre of it were invited to speak at a UN meeting. It absolutely should not have been a big deal but it was needlessly blown out of proportion simply because the media and simps couldn't cope with the fact that their manic pixie dream girls were absolute whores. It was absolutely baffling. You will still get anti-g*mergate defenders to this day, even after the danger-haired bitch was exposed multiple times falsely accusing people of rape (one poor guy even killed himself), swindling, lying and even astroturfing the whole anti-gg movement. The hypocrisy is why people got so emotionally invested in it. Where is 4chan's UN report, huh? At least the UN later expressed regret over supporting the evil bitches but that was after their report they manufactured out of it got exposed as one of the most incompetent works they've ever produced. Sweet Baby Inc is a direct consequence of all this shit and retards still defended it. The reason we have ugly bitches with side shaves in video games is because of this shit. In the grand scheme of things, gg was pretty inconsequential, but it was a symptom of an illness that had been brewing for years.
>>6232650Dear Richard,Rest In Pepperoni.Also, I always pictured you as a fat basedcuck and not a skinny lanklet faggit. You love and learn.Love,$10bux
