Before 4chan goes to shit (or gets better, who the fuck knows), post some choice events in /v/ history.
Also, we are building a timeline of things that have defined this board. Get in here http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/v-history-timeline
I'll be posting shit to keep the thread alive.
You have a sense of optimism stop it.
the community is what defines /v/. circlejerking over things in the past is exactly what is hindering original content and improvement.
do you want a board of witty and good people or do you want a board of stupid idiots that adore witty and good people?
>>280356478
I doubt anything will happen to destroy /v/, worst case scenario I see posting ID's on /v/ to try to detract shitposting.
>people think shit will change
You know moot likely has had very little to do with the site for a long time now and the "new guys in charge" are the same guys who have been in charge for a while now
Moot was a figurehead like the monarchy
>the history of /v/
But all of these things were the _ruin_ of /v/.
This is your /v/.
If you hate anything in this, you are not /v/.
This was /v/ up until 2009. (well, minus the trip culture)
Not sure if this one is /v/, but whatever.
>>280357506
EPIC FRUSTRATION. One of the greatest works of art that this board has ever made. And it shows a bygone time where people put time into rage comics.
There was even a flash adaptation:
* Original flash: http://swfchan.com/9/43253/?V-rage.swf
* Youtube rip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVys7jcCJDs
All I've really got is some information on >2011+1. I have been on and off this board since Le Lenny face was first posted.
>>280358375
I wonder exactly how /v/ stopped talking about video games (and became essentially a colony of /b/)
And how did /v/ recover from that (around 2012) to the state it is today?
>>280358375
>DS, like every other Nintendo handheld, has no region coding.
God damn it.
>>280355525
>/v/ falls even farther into shit and everyone gets upset and blames moot.
>/v/ improves and we start discussing vidya without constant shitposting and everyone gets upset and blames moot.
It's a moot point, but here's to the memories.
Anyone else got these SCARED images? They're my favorite derivative of WHY.
>>280359004
Pretty much when secondary /b/ jumped ship and some other site that died around the time also came back here. (I think 7chan went through some shitfit at the time as well and most came back)
Board got sort of fixed through extremely heavy nazi moderation and the board splits.
Large imageboards are never a good thing.
Even /b/ got good in the days the DNS shit itself and most of the site couldn't get on.

>>280359446
For some reason posting is very slow for me today.
>>280359706
I'm sure this was the first of these.
this was probably the epitome of /v/
that's not saying much tho

Thanks anon. This was awesome to read.
Anytime you see someone begging for games, think of this.
Anyone has the original e-mails sent to CWC with the fanarts from /v/? Can't find them on the cwcki.

>>280361403
Ha, found it!
>>280356164
Why can't people admire past threads while still creating new OC? Do you really think taking time out from shitposting to laugh at old stuff and maybe teaching newfags the board's history is a bad thing? Would you rather they get it from r/4chan?

I'm still waiting for ironic bullshit to die already. That shit gets popular quickly on Reddit, Tumblr, and other websites nowadays, anyway. It just ends up being what it's mocking faster than ever before.

Reddit is a festering pile of shit. Remeber the train simulator montage parodys we did a while back? Reddit took over that shit WAY too fucking far. They copied our festering pile of shit, regurgitated it and made it a hideous unbearable pile of shit. What's even worse is they are everywhere, posting on this board. It's awful and the reason it won't die. Here's the sub by the way.

I want everyone to think long and hard about how 4chan has affected your life, so many things about my personality (that i consider good and apart of me) were spawned by this website and its people
>>280363237
But he's right.
>>280363992
That's fucking terrifying.
>>280363869
Yeah, man. I just can't stand most of those anymore. Way too many of them use the exact same jokes. I really wonder how there's an entire community based upon it now.
>>280363992
Oh my shit I cannot tell you how much this website saved my highschool years. I had no idea what an autist I actuaily looked like.
>>280363237
Ok, please post "videogame doesn't have to be a game" next.
>>280363796I did, and I still don't get it.
>>280363837Please?
>>280363992
I think that 4chan has stopped more school shootings than any gun control ever has.
I miss the days when /v/ was relatively mod free, and "shitposting" wasn't so frowned upon. That's what initially set /v/ apart from your typical dull video game forum full of circlejerks and mod cocksuckers.
>>280363992
>long and hard
I learned about video game series I probably wouldn't have known about otherwise and picked up a new hobby. There's not that much to think about.
I feel like 4chan memes are usually worse than other memes.
At least other memes are old and predictable.
They're put out by people too stupid to come up with something new.
4chan comes up with a new meme every god damn week and you never know what you're going to be fucking annoyed by next. And then 4chan being the god damn meme taste-makers of the internet inevitably spreads that shit all over the internet.
>>280364257
no spoonfeeding newfag.
>>280364257
I think /v/ had some kind of vidya nostalgia day. Or maybe I'm thinking of a different site, I don't fucking remember.

As funny as it sounds, I think at some point, we tried to mimic reddit, and failed miserably.
I miss a post like this, pic related.
>>280364556
I'm pretty sure that was some other kid's OC. I don't recall who.
>mfw I'll be 30 in less than a year and still on here.
>>280364458
Well, I've only been here for a few years, but honestly I've never seen that posted before. So I'm confused as shit.

It's sad how over the years, his statement became truer and truer.

/r/equesting the comic where all the other sites are sucking moderator dick. but on /v/ it has the 360 ps3 and wii brandishing knives with the logo of /v/ being /v/ - bawwwwwwwwwww
>>280364662
When the people here put effort out and actually use wit its fucking legendary. But instead all we get are HE, baneposts, and ironic pepe posts designed to strike back at reddit for stealing our memes.
>>280363731
4chan archives are a relatively new phenomenon. However, the archives might not end at 2012, that was just a guess. Check Archive.moe to see how far it goes.
However, you should archive important threads on your own. Every archiver will delete full images eventually.
This script archives all images, thumbnails, and thread HTML+JSON for later reading:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/BASC-Archiver/
>>280364662
Are you referring to 2011 where the "le x face" meme was conceived in response to Reddit's rage comics? I am sure that was the main reason why OC has been discouraged for a while, but it wasn't too bad until early 2012 with le monkey face's creation.
>>280364731

Why cant i hold all these feels
Try posting something not from 2012 and after.
>>280364378
Yeah it was nicer but then shitposting/off-topic became really really bad, plus the spam. I remember when we got captchas, we got a dramatic decrease in spam suddenly.
>>280364889
There was another archival service before then. I know one of the earliest CWC threads was archived there but it seems to be gone now

>>280363992
I found this place in mid 2011 while I was a freshman in high school. I was stupidly obsessed with nyan cat, rage comics, and Anonymous. I didn't hide it at all. I whistled the nyan cat song EVERYWHERE and even sang it. I ran off to OWS for a day hoping to join anonymous, but turned back after realizing I would have to talk to people. I was literally in the train station at Wall Street holding a guy fawks mask by the string. I also watched every MLP episode to date and was JUST about to come out as a brony, but then I found this place. You guys showed me just what a sorry broken autist I was. I saw everything you had to offer and begun to hide my power level.
Thank you, Anonymous. You saved me. I-I can't thank you enough.
>>280365526

4chan allows you to say and do shit you'd never get away with on other sites. Like it or not, discussion can flourish here because no one is worried with what these other anonymous faggots think because come next thread you can turn into a completely different person.
Wow, didn't realize until now just how new the userbase is. I remember when crazy threads happened and we had to ask people to archive the thread by linking an archive request. Times have changed.

You don't see much get posted from back in 90's 4chan. Hell, you don't see much get posted in these threads except shit from the last couple of years. That's one of the few pre-2000 caps that are still around. Most of them were lost when 4chan.net died and didn't get brought back as 4chan.org until 2004.

Thanks, it was in the timeline before it got fucked.
Honestly, my favourite part of /v/ was when we went to Wurm.
Getting lost with fenpenny, the raid to fight a bear, the shanty towns and strife, mayor goulash, us actually just going there to play and check it out and the server losing their shit like we lagged them on purpose...our giant statues and retardedly pointless mines with bros stuck in them, some guy welcoming us to his estate and giving us cookies and showing us animal and shit, every single other player being pissy spastics, it was so much fun.
There, done my part.

Besides GG making September just awful, 2014 was alright. 2012 was the fucking worst.
One thing I've found a bit more humanizing about 4chan is when someone posts their face
Good luck and fortune will smile upon you if you post your face and say in this thread "thanks 4chan"(or whatever board you were most influenced by)

Because the front page of reddit used to be filled with 4chan screencaps. Anything posted here would be shipped over to reddit and be upboated immensely because "hate machine of the internet so funneh"
Funnily enough after /v/ hit the front page of reddit a few times the post quality around here dropped dramatically

Then I came back in 2013 and have been here since.
Let's say we just closed the moot arc of 4chan. There were mini-arcs within it like Chanology, GamerGate, and stuff like that, sure, but it was all under moot's site.
I wonder what kind of crazy stuff is in store for us in the new arc.

>original content
That doesn't exist anymore anon or at least I should put in the context of the whole Internet.
That thread you made some OC? Yeah, it's now Leddit's OC, Tumblefaggot's OC, Twitter's OC, Facebook's OC, etc. If it's popular enough it'll probably have an entry on KnowYourMAYMAY and categorized.
Your original content is now every websites new thing. Why even care? Memes are just ideas. Spread infinitely until everyone hates it. It'll be old in a week.
Compare that to the old days where you'd have board-specific memes. Totally closed in. Where actual board culture existed. That can't exist anymore. Look at /tv/. They try. With their Sheev, Orc posting, and Baneposting. It's still just shitposting though. Moot leaves us at a time where no OC can continue to exist.
Makes sense.

Whenever I think about Chanology, pool's closed, happy negro, and basically everything in that image, it makes me feel like 4chan is so connected and together. And yet, all of the new events only seem to segment every board. Everyone is so cold and hateful to each other. 4chan just doesn't feel the same.

you can say you started browsing

>>280363992
I became much more confident after coming here at the age of 12.
It's been 7 years since and I started on /b/, moved my way up to /v/, occasionally go on /g/.
It's affected me in how I speak, I was no longer afraid of reactions in real life to what I said, I've gained much more courage to say what's on my mind rather than stay quiet or censor myself.
I love you guys a whole lot for how you've morphed me into what I am now, yet I still hate this cesspool, but it's my cesspool and I wouldn't want to switch to any other cesspool for the world.

>>280373112

>>280359004
If you ask me personally it was when moot banned doubles on /b/, so they raided /v/ fucking HARD posting doubles constantly for like a week until moot made a sticky and started autobanning people, and the board has never been the same sense. Its traffic probably doubled or tripled that day and never really went back to normal, and it was /b/ shit from then on. This was probably 2009 or 2010.

There's a term for that anon, it's called Poe's Law.
It's the single best descriptor for 90% of 4chan. Primarily /v/, /pol/ and /x/.
Although [s4s] is seemingly immune to poe's law despite the subject matter, it's weird.

Feel worse for /x/, maybe going with /v/ would have encouraged more /v/irgins to post there and make it a less shit board, instead of /pol/ shitting it up more about the Jews.

I don't know but be sure to remember it wasn't initially a RAT. Some Anon noticed a bunch of retards downloading a game and took advantage of that.

I don't even think it was /pol/. I think it was just random shitposters who found a really easy target. We should've expected all that shit from the start, though. Who thought /v/ could do anything social WITHOUT spilling its spaghetti?I just wanted to stay home and play retro vidya with /vr/.

I miss when this place was chill enough to allow emoticons.
Now everything is super serious and any attempt at joking or being silly will just result in someone calling your post bait or making an ironic shitpost
Maybe nothing will really end up changing and we'll all be back to more or less normal come the end of this, but I just want to take this chance to say that if I had the choice to go back and tell my past self to never come to this shithole, I'd totally take it.I'm kidding. I love you faggots, I don't want to lose any of you. Not even moot.

AMA's are way more moderated and stage managed these days. There's a mod working directly with the PR guys to filter questions.
The Bane raid was a super rare occurrence.
>>280377650
Have they even shown any actual effort to work with it or ship out commercial versions?

It's not nearly as great as greentext stories make it out to be. Just like with SS13 it's half imaginative exaggeration.

No, what's going to happen is what's been happening for years. Oldfags get out, and younger teens come in. Remember when memes started getting so mainstream that they are used all over the place in real life? Like now? Haven't you noticed the quality of posts and the community declining? /v/ is nothing compared to other boards. 4chan is mainstream now, and that's that. No, this isn't anything about being a "le oldfag", things are changing. Around 2012 it was evident that younger teens were populating this site more, and now it's more clear than ever before. This is how 4chan will "end", mark my words. If the place is still around in a couple of years, it's going to be drastically different.
>>280378401
That will never get old for me, never.
>>280358375
Well this ain't too fair. A lot of the community became more self aware of their behavior and began to favor a more comedic and sarcastic tone for discussion.
Add some cursing, satirical racism, and some edginess, and you'll have current /v/ etiquette. It has a more "real" feeling than the reddit-type courtesy and " e-civility"(being all nice and positive can be good but it can also lead to passive aggressive posts, which gather negative replies and can look confusing to those with minimal grasp of tones).
At least now, when you're direct and frank and talking shit, it's out in the open.Shitposting is another beast and should always be treated as humor.

One time on a Steam trade thread I asked for a game in return for another. Due to me being completely fucking clueless about Steam trading I thought you could just him the game from your library. When I realized that I couldn't he had already gifted me the game and I felt extremely fucking stupid and guilty. Thankfully the anon was really cool about it and just let me keep it anyways. I did eventually get him the game he wanted, though.

actually I've been here since /a/ and /b/, I don't post too much, usually I came here for shit and giggles (on /b/ for many years) and finaly moved to /v/ around 2008. I guess I'm a master oldfag, it's been more than 10 years for fucks sake.
