are we posting in the twilight of 4chan's lifespan?

>>26066508
Pretty much. The death of the "back to R*ddit" meme is pretty much an Open Immigration Policy.

It's time to move on to greener pastures. The 'net is an infinite frontier.

No, 4chan was just as cancerous 5 years ago.

In 2021, there will be anons saying how they missed the golden ages of 2014-2016, despite it being mediocre. Nostalgia influences peoples' opinions heavily.

>>26066654
No it's been especially terrible these last few years.

However it's slowly improving with the dwindling population. Certain boards are slowing down and that's just the way I like it.

That's incorrect, almost every board has shown some form of increased population within the last year.

Yes.

Cumbottlesman has stopped posting.
The last link to the times of old has been severed.

The site archives shall go down one inescapable day. All will be forgotten.

It will be as if our youth had not existed at all.
Our anonymous solidarity and comradeship will vanish into entropy.

There is a big influx of SJWs spouting off their memes thinking 4chan is something else entirely. One told me yesterday 4chan is not your degenerate secret club while frothing at the mouth morally outraged. Their defence for everything is to call everyone edgy. That's how they advance their SJW agenda.

Oh well, they can't stare into the abyss without it staring back into them.

Probably not, unfortunately. I hope nothing comes to succeed it either. It should die and stay dead, maybe I could move forward if it did

You are all bum cancer

That mask started the downfall.

Go back in time and smash the CRT monitor of whoever was about to make that "Lets raid Scientology" post. What started as faxing "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" to scilons ended up as happy-fun-faggotry.

Isn't smoking on duty in a warzone really bad practice?

Surely the decreased oxygen levels in your brain could increase reaction times and slightly distort your ability to think clearly in a high pressure situation?

I think even if there's some bad days ahead, this website will endure
I mean, it has survived worse situations, it has been up for 13 years. What could kill it?

Smoking calms the nerves under pressure. Tobacco rations for soldiers did not exist for nothing.

However - at night, a lit cigarette can be seen really fucking far. Especially when inhaling. Very bad practice to smoke at night assignments.

Serious question
Why is there no name field, title field or archive on /b/?
Why do they try to remove chan culture?

No it isnt. I remember a mod saying traffic doesnt change that much. Even when I was underage (started browsing at 12) i'd browse throughout the school day whenever I could. Summer made little difference

You're right that 4chan has been shit since forever, but there's also new people who bring their moralfaggotry/normalfaggotry here thinking they can just waltz in here with their shit normie opinion on things. And no one really stops them.

We've been Redditized/Tumblrized.

>>26066966
we always knew that everything we discussed and talked about and all the images or posts we made were never forever, and even archives would disappear and nothing we talked about would matter. I though everyone already acknowledged that

>>26067433
Blame moot for streamlining the site especially mobile posting in an effort to attract more visitors.

>>26067121

I like to think the years of cumulative karma from /b/ raiding everything and everyone finally came back to bite us in the ass. And now we've had terminal cancer for almost 10 years now.

Scientology, that Fox Anonymous special, it all came back to us.

>>26067434
true. but with digital history, this vanishing is much quicker compared to work set in the stone of real world..

a flicked server power switch and an entire microcosm and history of hundreds of thousands ceases to exist in the blink of an eye.

all that we praised and cheered about gone, as if it had never been.

>>26067603

That's the double edged sword of digital data.. it's really fickle.

I can't even count the amount of people who broke/lost their phones along with thousands of pictures and videos on them. Forever gone because they dont know what a backup is.

People just accept that their stuff can be gone at anytime now.

>>26067692
this reminds me that I should back up my personal folder with images and stuff. In 2011, someone deleted my personal folder with all my stuff.

>>26067692
Digital data is NOT fickle. It can easily come back to haunt your ass unlike shit you do offline.

>>26067603
I wont scatter your history to the heartless web. I will always be with you, plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes.

You're all diamonds.

Just go to fucking /g/ and say things haven't gone to shit! Fucking generals and smartphones. Holy fucking shit it has changed in the last 3 years. It used to be my homeboard since 2008 but nowdays I can't stand that cancer.

We have lost the time when anons gathered to watch streams of stupid tv-shows like Catch a predator or Gaki no Tsukai. We have lost the time when people made quality flash-animations. We have lost the time when /tg/ was more than those 10 generals/quest threads.

All my favorite boards have gone to shit. Fuck this.

Site isn't going anywhere. If anything it feels more alive than ever. New boards being born at a high pace. Different boards interacting and influencing each other while /b/ having no power at all anymore.

There will always be something looming on the horizon that isn't "good old 4chan". For better or worse. Pic related used to be considered "cancer", now it's a staple of 4chan culture.

Reddit and Tumblr invading isn't any different than Gaia shitters back in the day. You can't lock out the rest of the internet. In time it'll be begrudging acceptance like with furries.

Are you fucking having a laugh mate? These are the heighest days of 4chan, this is the equivalent World of Warcraft circa 2007, runescape circa 2006, the community is large, threads have a rich and largely unique culture. Moderation is effective but light (apart from /brit/ janny, who is a fucker).

This is peak 4chan. The only people who disagree are too new to remember how devoid of content 4chan was in 2011 / 2012

I'm not even going to lie, I started coming here because I got sick of reddit and other online circlejerks. Mid 2014. Then the fappening, now I'm here indefinitely. I used cripplechan for a while near the end of '14, but moved back here.

I used to care about muh board culture and other autistic things, but now I'm just comfy in this shithole.

>devoid of content it was in 2011/12

but 2010/11 were the golden age for boards like /g/, it blatantly has fallen in quality. boards qualities fluctuate and some are shit now, but others are improving. flags on /pol/ made it better, but /tg/ recently has gotten worse. /r9k/ has improved with the addition of the robot compared to the reddit infestation of 2014/15, but /qa/ since hiro played a load there has just become /q/.

quality is subjective la

I find it interesting that the rest of the internet still talks about the concept of trolls.

While 4chan has distilled into simply "bait" and "reply" no matter the context. Like there's no need for formalities anymore or getting upset. Simply replying a (you) to acknowledge purposely controversial posts.

>>26068973
a few years ago, before bait existed, it was all about ruses and rusemasters, don't you guys remember it?

This guy gets it. Seems like most of the posters in this thread came to this site just because reddit told this place has dankest memes but they don't understand that 4chan was never really about the memes. It was about discussion and community that accepted any fucking sandnigger or paintsniffer because we all were just anonymous and didn't really care about the people behind the screen.

How do I take the nostalgiaglasses off?

Bullshit mate.
4chan was never as mainstream as it is now. Don't deny to yourself that there ARE timelines, lifespans, good years and bad years. Moot left and shit. 4chan may stick around for a while, but it's going to get worse as it very gradually has been. Then again I've only been coming here for 2 years. But even then man it was good. Better even. Some boards have stayed pure, like /diy/, /tg/, /out/ etc. Idk
