/b/ was never good. Memory is a hell of a distortion.

The other reason is that populism (both right wing and left wing) are on the rise, with /b/ swinging mostly right and reddit swinging mostly left. Those who don't really fit into those camps abandoned both places ages ago, and instead keep their own little fifedoms secret.

Rule 1 & Rule 2 were broken so badly that the duchy of 4chan was over-run by norms. The truly fucked up had to go elsewhere.

Oldfags grew up. Someone who was an older teen in 2005 quite likely has a mortgage and a (shitty) job now.

You grew up. Things that you found weird/cool/edgy back in the day won't cut it for you anymore. Gotta find new novelty.

Anyone else care to give more reasons?

>>663693696
also, this

very lucid to mention the populism of our age
i've often contemplated whether this is the ultimate fate of all communities - hyperspecification, this kind of fracturing into more and more nuanced niche groups, as a general problem. the internet has only hastened the way the little social microcosms play out - is decentralized culture necessarily atomic?

>>663691542
The both really really really oldfags that i know become traitors and get on reddit because of the tons of edgy kids in /b/

>>663693791
That's the reason why you can't relate.
Old /b/tards were oppressed and bullied in real life so they could only be creative and express themselves online where they weren't judged. Especially on an anonymous image board.
And that's why there was some awesome stuff here, the quiet ones are usually the craziest.

Shit, I watched the same thing happen back on AOL chat rooms and BBS communities. I don't think it's anything new. I think that when you have mobility (and the internet allows incredible mobility between ideological groups) people will splinter off when they find the main group doesn't fit anymore. I know folks who have started intentional communities to separate themselves from the world at large, and it's hilarious to watch the knots people tie themselves in to hide the fact that they're part of the kink community. I look at the pups here, and alternate between laughing, shaking my head at how shit got this bad, and offering up wisdom that will inevitably be slapped from my hand. This is the new generation figuring thier shit out just as /b/ helped an oldfag figure his shit out. Just as the graffiti in Pompeii proves, plus ce change, plus c'est la meme chose.

2007/2008

But also from the beginning. It was full of Child porn and raid's before 2007, then for about a year it was good. Little bit of CP for those fags, little bit of raids for those fags, and little bit of shit for the rest of you fags. Then the newfags started treating it like a super secret clubhouse, and demanded everyone fuck off out of their super duper secret club. Then it became nothing but fags, demanding all that they don't like be banned. Now everyone still on 4chan is a newfag.
Everyone, even me. We're all newfags. No one is an oldfag or they'd have left already. No one on this site is older than 2007/2008.

This fucker gets it.

As much as complaining about this shit is for edgy niggers...

Where did all the story threads go? A few years ago it was pretty much routine that I'd check for some good greentext threads. I almost always found one. Where did they go?

>>663699769
This.

Only newfags reminisce about 'old' /b/. /b/ is the same thing it's been for the last decade.

>>663699979
Yeah, I just look for new stuff that I'm not going to find on the various tubes.

I think the biggest change to /b/ and 4chan is the average age of the users. I was 26 in 2005 when I first started coming, and the average age was probably low to mid-20s. Now, it's dropped by ten years, and I've gotten ten years older. Not much I have in common with kids two decades younger than me.

>>663700435
there are no more people on /b/, most content is generated either by computer AIs or ... something else.

Not really. The culture here has definitely changed for the worse. But, the internet in general has changed since the early days too, so, can't be helped.

Some asshole janitor or mod came along and decided story-times were not what 4chan was for. There was much banning. It was stupid. By that I mean the story time was stuipd, the cleanup was stupid, and we are all stupid.

Pretty much AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRR

>>663700435
people stopped caring.
Also mods banned them.
It is impossible to do a decent greentext thread without getting banned.

>>663700435
It's funny that somebody is nostalgic about greentext, for me that's just part of the cancer. Actually it's more like a cyst of the cancer's cancer, to be honest.

>>663700613
Lol, no it's not.

>>663700640
I always avoided /pol/, it was a piece of shit when i checked a year ago. Might check it out again.

Yeah, the post on the whole is fine. He's just a little unaware of what he was like back when he was asking /b/ to DDOS his middle school's website.

For fuck's sake, he's still doesn't understand the difference between "DDOS" and "DoS" after what must be 9+ year? You can guarantee that he was quite the little shit back in the glory days.

>>663690864
It filled up with normies because edgy teenagers wanted to brag on their blog that they've been on the "infamous 4Chan" and they "they're so cool" for doing so. Yes it's Fucking cancerous (and they should really just kill themselves) but it's true; YouTube, steam and tumblr (among some other sites) could only hold their children/ SJWs for so long before they started to leak out like pus from a festering wound, and move on to something "cooler than that" ... Apparently that place was 4chan, which has only been gaining more and more exposure since ~2008 or so, thereby luring in more fucking cancer carrying, youtube-level memelords who fucked up everything we hold dear.

normies have always come to visit from time to time, but normies have become more accustomed to (shit)posting on the internet nowadays, so they make themselves visible on here now, by "mistake".

I suppose ledditors are turned on by the idea of not needing to set up an account and not to be visible with an "identity" to shitpost anymore.

>>663703146
Reddit used to be pretty "bad" too (with r/jailbait and the like), but then it hit the big-time and suddenly the average user on there became a brainless 14 year old who only knew the world from the teachings of Dora the explorer.

Reddit is a cancerous place that support normie bullshit. Voting system that obviously is for suppressing opinions? Really?

Then the users see the /r/4chan board and think its just a more me randumb version of reddit. (/r/4chan is literally some asshole taking screenshots of threads on /b/ or /v/ and posting it...)

Redditfags are the cancer and should be shunned whenever they make themselves apparent.

I remember the beginning... I had just entered college... it was twenty aught four just after new years back then. I was a front line afrofag back then, at the tip of the spear... We lost men, but it was worth it to close the pools... those filthy pools. So many god damn pools... We were trying to save you youngin's from the AIDS. Sadly it didn't work... now we oldfags can only stare on in silent desperation as the younglings all are infected with the AIDS now.

The internet was different in those days, back then an oldfag could be and do pretty much anything. No SJW cancers, no massive influx of emotional AIDS bullshit.. we were cancer, but we were a cancer that DID things. We sent boxes, boxes on top of boxes, we pranked, we fought each other like savages - but we would unite on Caturdays and we would mercilessly fuck anyone who fucked with cats.

We were the amoral chaotic neutral hive-mind of a generation that matured under the Bush era, but now, sadly, most of the oldfags are gone.

We will never again have an era like it. Just memories now, newfags. Just memories now.

Listen, friend. It may be true freedom.of speech and all. But it probably has like 5 other users. You included. The novelty of 4chan is that you can ca some guy an asshole and probably only ever perhaps look at the same thread as him in the future and never communicate aside from that one time.

How much does a gold account cost??

no nigger, you are clearly retarded
obviously /b/ was better when there were less people, but that wasn't because they didn't post cancerous bullshit. it was because it was more focused; we used to be able to organise raids and shit.
now there's just more people, which makes it impossible to do things we used to do. so fucking what, adapt, there's still interesting things among all the ever-present cancer

Worst waste of trip dubs

Thread is dead lads, it was a nice shat

when most of the 2005 anons broke the rules and spread this shit, around 2009 it was full of potatoes, and now ... well ...

No one will admit it, but most everyone can trace their joining back to one cancer wave or another. 4chan does something, people talk about it, and then those people find their way here. They cement the identity of 4chan in their mind by the type of cancerous activity which lured them in.

Recent waves were related to the Fappening, Gamer Gate, and that /r9k/ frogposter fag.

Jesus Chris, i was not on /b/ for maybe 7-8 years,
I turn on catalog and I honestly check if I accidentally pressed /soc/.

This place is so docile, Facebook , let alone Twitter are WAY edgier than this neo-neo/b/.
/b/ was always shitty, but at least you could catch a laugh or two every once an a while, i dont even bother for almost 10 years now..
At least it is a great idiot catcher so they wont disperse on couple of semi decent boards that survived all these years...

All these unchecked dubs and trips... fucking newfags. Respect the art of the repeating digit.

Yes so you agree that being against the "muh secret club" phrase is good. People who try to shun posters by saying "muh secret club" think 4chan should be broadcasted to even more unfocused assholes who think they just do whatever you want.

We're on the same side here

The only thing I've heard about was the fappening. That was cool. Since I started browsing nothing AMAZING has happened. Like, hack someone or something. Too many reposted wembs and it's retarded how many people give a fuck if you get dubs, trips, etc.
