The original Habbo Hotel raid.

Us, Something Awful, the original Encyclopedia Dramatica, YTMND, 7chan (I think) all got in on it too.

Everyone dates leaderless internet activism as starting at the Scientology raids, but this was its true birthplace. Those radis just kinda happened, and if it weren't for their success, Chanology would never have been a thing.

One minute, Epic Fail Guy is an obscure internet meme and the next Guy Fawkes masks are on the cover of Time.

Someone on the VG Cats forums linked here for something, and that's when I found the hentai board. As a 13 year old, finding a site where I could view an endless bounty of porn without having to worry about viruses( short of suspect links) was the best and worst thing to happen to me.

Then I found 1chan, the Overchan, iichan, kochan, and 6chan. Watched as 420chan formed and 7chan split off to do their things.

I literally first heard of 4chan in 2005 when I was a 15 year old kid happily playing World of Warcraft and like half the server was raving on about how epic /b/ is.
That's why I just can't take people who talk about how 4chan used to be an obscure, small site seriously. Maybe when it was first founded, but by 2005 it was pretty much already the frontpage of the internet, the site literally all the cool kids went to. And this was quite some time before Chanology happened, if I remember my timeline correctly. If anything, 4chan was more mainstream in 2005-2008 period than it is right now in 2016. Back then everyone either went to 4chan or was too afraid to go to 4chan. Today, 4chan is about as relevant as SA, since the only people who still care about the site are weebs, frogposters and stormfags.
No wonder moot left.

StopTazmo was a "movement" for people to boycott NarutoFans that was basically charging for people to read online manga series of shit scanlator always did for free (in the good sense and not in the /v/ sense).

So people released pages on their released that basically say "STOPTAZMO" and don't pay for shit you should be getting for free and the like.

I think this started back in 2006-2007 but I could be remembering wrong.

We were no different than the kids now laughing at their memes. I think the only real difference is that back in "our day" 4chan had a lot of people that "acted retarded for the lulz" instead of just retards that act retarded because they are retarded. That created an environment where OC was far more rampant than now.

>Nope, only the people that left grew up. Lets be realistic here.
Well, I can't deny you there.
My friend has a nice job with a huge pay but his marriage his going horribly and his girl almost crazy (she was fine but dived into the whole 3rd wave feminism thingy), the girl I had a crush on on in highschool is now a fat fuck with 3 kids, my sister has 2 kids with 2 different guys and both of them fucking hate her guts and I'm here, living alone in an apartment with a shitty job good enough to let me keep my lifestyle and still virgin.

Fuck I love my life.

>>137048084
I remember reading about how 4chan was a really obscure deep web site for hackers and criminals in one huehue magazine I used to get monthly.
The guy spent a whole month trying to integrate and understand /b/ and got called a faggot a lot. I still have it, reading it nowadays is always entertaining.
But what really brought me here were the 9gag raids. I started coming to /b/ everyday even if I didn't like it. It was amusing somehow and I just couldn't let it go.
This site sure is cursed.

Actually I think there is a lot of merit on 4chan. 4chan went COMPLETELY against the norm of the evolution of the Internet 2.0. By giving voice to people in an anonymous way. While the internet was evolving first into "online personas" and then into "your real name on the internet" 4chan decided to focus on something different.

I think that is the only reason I am still here while I completely abandoned all other forms of forums or shit even social media. And currently we are seeing the problems of having your name and last name and address always available online, a lot of the "cyber bullying" currently happening wasn't possible before without some serious effort by some people to find out where you are from, now is just a quick look up of your facebook page and link it with your post or other online personas.

A former friend of mine from steam told me to look at his "RNG fapping via FAKKU" thread he made.

Apparently you're suppose to fap to whatever doujins/tanks you got from your post ID in FAKKU.

There's literally nothing wrong with reading manga online assuming it's not watermarked and resized.

Unlike with streaming anime it's just a 2MB image which can be loaded instantly assuming you're not in some hellhole.

That said I do download when reading in bulks/starting new series, but who the hell has time to waste to download a measly 16 pages?

For me it's not really therapy. But it's the more honest place in the internet.
Strip a man from the burden of having to defend a name and from the responsibility of responding in the future of what he said now, and you'll have mostly the truth, without hypocrisy.
At the same time it feels so fucking good being able to express your own opinions without worrying that they are going to come bite you back.
It's so comfy being able to express your opinion without fearing that you'll disgust someone because of what you like.
Where else could I discuss, let's say, Kodomo no Jikan.
Where else would you find honest critique to your photography made by people that don't fear to come out as assholes and making a bad name.
4chan is the most interesting social experiment there is, and it's the only place where I feel I can talk honestly and having honest conversations without worries.

Posted all the usernames and passwords for the school's yearbook editor on /b/.

They called an emergency assembly because it got filled with porn, gore and no doubt worse. In the assembly they said that whoever did it should hand themselves in because the IT department had "traced the computer serial code".

A couple days later they got the police involved and find hundreds of IP addresses from all over the world.

Then three months later the one guy at school who knew I did it handed me in with faked MSN chat logs because I reprimanded him for slapping my girl's ass at the club (no fucking joke).

Shit was hilarious.

What makes me sadder than all this crap being ancient history is that we are literally never allowed by the mods or the userbase to do this stuff anymore.

You used to be able to start off-topic threads and derail on-topic threads and they would organically become a hilarious and ultimately on-topic discussion. Some were even surprisingly enlightening as a result of juxtaposing a completely unrelated concept against an anime topic.

Nowadays it's simply impossible to have cool threads anymore. You have to make an on-topic thread and stick to on-topic discussion. Any attempt otherwise will result in post/thread deletion or pushback from other posters.

At some point, the site's culture changed from being chill and playing along with a joke to see where it would lead (arguably the founding concept of 4chan) to a series of structured discussions where anything out of the norm is shit on and frowned upon.

The site as a whole's lost its spark of creativity and become a place where we just talk about new things instead of coming up with new things to talk about ourselves. Any organic, grassroots content is down at the stem by the mods and the culture. 4chan has gone from being about having fun to literally no fun allowed.

tl;dr why is 4chan so shitty

Word of mouth, probably a rarity

In a Communications class in high school in the late 2000's that involved everything from photoshop to photography and film there was this older kid not a part of the class who talked about using it like it was some cool secret club. I think he went on it during school hours and showed it to a couple of others but I didn't really pay too much attention. I and most people thought it was some really disgusting site you'd go to on a dare or something.

My curiosity got peaked and at some point I checked it out. I was surprised at all the different boards and checked some out.

and here we are, sadly. An off-and-on relationship.

But this is literally an off-topic thread where people blog, metapost and reminiscence about the past? And it has been up for almost six hours now? And it's only a few posts away from the bump limit? And mods/jannies literally noticed this thread (some feelsfaggotry got deleted) and decided to leave it be?

Sure, thanks to the catalog the content on this place is pretty cataloged these days, but it's not like every thread is a no fun allowed serious discussion only thread.

Every thread about a single show is technically a general if you think about it, that's why I don't mind them. Having isolated communities is okay too since it's part of anime after all, as people who watch show A but don't watch show B have no reason to go into threads about show B.
Hell, just this week I saw some people complaining about there being threads about a show the same day it aired because for them it was a general. I know the problems of generals and I know about the mess that /vg/ became, but I fear that it might become impossible to talk about anime on /a/ one day thanks to this fear of generals.
By the way, no, I don't browse any of our "generals".

I've never read any /ai/ but they always have an airing show, so I don't mind them existing at least.
>>137053542
My problem with what you mean is that I don't see the point of it, condensing threads about general discussion of a show focuses the discussion in one point instead of scattering it around, it's better to have a single active thread than a lot of dead ones. I even remember moot or a mod telling people to condense their shit, but I'm not sure if that was actually on /jp/. There's nothing wrong with making new threads either if there's still discussion going on too, as long as people have enough courtesy to wait until the current thread has hit page 9 at least.
I think the main problem is how /vg/ ruined the image of prolonged discussion about any subject, so plenty of people are afraid that /a/ will become like that one day. Personally I don't think that will ever be the case, even with our generals we're still okay for the most part.

>>
>>137053458
You notice it happen over time. There's nothing wrong with having a few threads here and there about a show. But when it becomes a general, people play it cool, then they argue that 'it's been there since X and should remain' or how it's a part of the board culture. Too many threads is bad and the solution to keep it contained just creates islands of threads, killing off conversation overall. /a/ is mostly lucky due to the amount of new anime, which makes it a routine to stop talking about shows the moment the season ends. It's only the really cancerous anime that stick around past a season or two.
>>
>>137053884
>condensing threads about general discussion of a show focuses the discussion in one point instead of scattering it around,
nope
it impedes discussion
a certain general doesn't want to discuss a certain aspect of a series and shit posts and mass reports any mention of it,
why not make another thread where such a discussion continue? because they would shit post and mass report said thread and get it deleted.

What if /a/ got that old /r9k/ robot thingy that prevented reposts?

Honestly while I'm not a general advocator, this is brought up quite often yet I honestly never saw it happen with /a/ generals or at least don't remember it.

It sure as hell happen in /vg/ though.
>>
>>137054158
I'm curious as well.
I keep calling harems shit on harem threads and even manage to have civil discussions with the generic harem fans.
Never seen that "mass reporting" thing happen.
>>
>>137054237
The robot encouraged r9k to make OC about feelshit blogging.
>>
Is 4chan actually getting many new members or is it particularly filled with oldfags? I remember a time when members of social media sites would say that we were too scary to check out
>>
>>137054158
try bringing up any "crack pairings" in a madoka thread and see the thread tear itself apart trying to kick you out.
>>
>>137054259
The only "mass reporting" that ever happened in harem threads was with the Stella spammers last season, since it was pretty abnoxious at the start. I think by the end it became an inside joke though, but it was only 1 or 2 posts.
>>
>>137054237
>it ended up just being feels and relationshit garbage

Well that was partly because /r9k/ had no specific board topic. It was intended as a /b/ with perpetually unique content. If you applied the robot to an anime board, it would work out differently, but I still wouldn't want that to happen.
>>
>>137054342
/b/, our "frontpage" isn't about gore anymore so it's not keeping out the newshits anymore.
>>
>>137054342
Considering people still post shit like 'kek', froge and feels, there are certainly some newfags here.
>>
>>137054254
I don't know about reporting but I do notice the monster musume thread sometimes really upset when someone makes a hitomi sensei thread insisting that hitomi discussion should remain there despite being a different series.
>>
>>137054342
>Is 4chan actually getting many new members
Yes
>>
>>137054237
What do you mean moderation? What would they even have moderated? The entire point of the board was the robot.
>>
>>137054342
Pretty sure the userbase of 4chan has risen considerably in the last several years. Mass media and social media attention will do that.
>>
>>137054385
What's wrong with kek? lol is looked down on nowadays, I assume lel is middleground and also bad, and the only alternative would be laughing reaction image, though sometimes it's not the right option either.
>>
>>137054342
It was scary, now that /b/ is completely dead and everything else is very docile I doubt anyone really finds 4chan "scary".
I think the only exception would be those people on tumblr that pukes and wants to kill themselves over some gore.
>>
>>137054356
Madoka threads are beyond help, just check the ghost archive and you'll see the kind of autism going on in them. It seems to have a basis though, so I suggest just avoiding bringing that subject up for now (not that I see that matter getting solved any time soon).

>What do you mean moderation?
delete any thread involving feels, depression, sex , girls and relationships, I think r9k could have benefit from that.

>>137048084
Used to browse Gaia, I fucking hated that website but didn't know where else to go. People would spew memes and talk about 4chan often but every time I went to check out /b/ it was fucking shit, too. Then I saw my sister browsing /b/ one day and devided to check it out again, maybe I was just missing something. /b/ was still shit but this time it only took about an hour to realize that there were other boards and I never looked back.

No, that was literally moot's fault. He wanted more people to post on /r9k/ so he made a bunch of sitewide announcements citing feelshit memes and got a bunch of new people to that board who only thought of that board as the board for feelshit. Before he single-handedly destroyed the original /r9k/, feelshit was only one relatively small part of the board.

anon
the feelshit stuff he said was in a mocking matter, the board was already overunned with relationshit crap and it had already gained a reputation for it at that point. the sitewide announcement was a last ditch effort on moot's part to get rid of it by brining in a bunch of new blood.

That's not how I remember it.
Before he started fucking with the board, feelshit was just background noise I ignored.
After these announcements of his the board population literally doubled overnight and those few threads I kept visiting /r9k/ for all literally died because the newcomers would shit them up to death and everyone got tired of it and left.
My other main board at the time was /tg/, and moot killed that board as well around that time by appointing the Nazi mod and letting him singlehandedly drive away literally 99.99% of the people who posted on the board.
I hate moot so much, if I saw him in public I would pretend not to recognize him and ignore him if he tried to greet me. Fucking asshole.
