I disagree, 2008 or so was when the death spiral really kicked into high gear.

>>322157730
When people are part of a group or consider themselves part of a group they tend to behave with a sort of dynamic. /v/ has become more popular over the years and so the sense of being in a group dwindles, and people behave with less of a dynamic, which leads to even more butting of heads than before. It also leads to a lower entry barrier, since people are less willing to tell someone to go eat fat cocks just for being new, which lets people who have thinner skin have some more say than they did before. In the end it's just how things grow, you either die a colorful and interesting community or you live long enough to see yourself become the internet forum equivalent of cold, bland porridge.

Think about how many of the jokes from 4chan in general have leaked to the rest of the internet. Look at what happened to pepe. Look at mfw, tfw, and so on. There's people on 4chan now who mainly go on reddit and tumblr and then 4chan "on the side". It's because of this massive leakage and how people just seemed to accept them and turn them into something else disconnected from the anonymous and weird environment of 4chan boards. Back when troll face went out there wasn't a big interest in visiting 4chan, but now you have places like reddit and imgur having all kinds of 4chan screencaps. There's a blur and there really isn't that much left that's only on 4chan. That's why it's gone downhill.

>i am entirely convinced that half of 4chan users are just spies sent to steal our memes
In a way that is true. People take OC or screencaps from threads and post them on reddit or whatever shithole they have an account to get their points. Sometimes I feel like I'm 100% certain someone is from tumblr or reddit just from the way they write or if they use a specific word anons don't normally use. But of course there's nothing to do there, you can't call them a newfag because they'll go full autism and just write the same back to you, even when several others call the newfag a newfag he still won't admit it.

>that really defeats the purpose of using it now. maybe i should stop using it.

There's some really fucking demented oldfags here.
Many used to have trips but they realized that they can just take off their trip and shit up the board better without it.


And generally speaking 4chans biggest issue is he paranoia and obsession about other places.
You cant have a thread without people shouting SJW, Reddit and Tumblr. The local userbase ruined it all.

It'll come back, it was inevitable that this would happen with SW, considering /tv/ has some obsession with it. It'll come back, then it'll be drowned out whenever Episode 8 comes out then it'll come back and so on.

Honestly most of us likely started lurking while still underage

you know it's true

also notice how there also no tripfags on /v/ nowadays? We got who? REDS, nep, sauce(dead)pan (namefag) and uhh... who else? I can't remember

my biggest disappointment about the last 5 years is how most people on /v/ have become stupider, make crazy claims related to video games\politics\technology that can be easily refuted by a simple google search but refuse to accept that they're wrong

7 years ago, /v/ was a place where smart people went to act stupid. now it's a place where stupid people go to act stupid

This never happened because no one knew what reddit was until ~2010. Fucking digg was more popular than it.

And there were other boogeyman sites pre-reddit. 4chan was never some accepting utopia that didn't care where you came from or what other sites you posted on.

I remember when you could say nigger and not be called edgy or /pol/. It's also weird, /new/ was barely a thing but now /pol/ is a huge containment board boogeyman.

For what reason? Practically nobody used it for its actual purpose.

Does anyone remember "The /v/ Culture Wars" as I like to refer to them?

It was a huge board dividing issue back around 09/10/11 yet it's not something that's even brought up anymore.

/v/ was so angry back then. Angry about all the shitty generals on the front page, angry about people not posting vidya, angry about ponyshit.

Fucking kill yourself, that game did nothing original, it's pure reddit garbage just like you

/vg/ and /mlp/ were created, for one.

Though no one will admit it, the /vg/ and /vp/ split and the creation of /mlp/ did fucking wonders for this board. Nearly every single tripfag had gone by the /vg/ split and it felt great. No more constant DotA, LoL, Katawa Shoujo, Pokémon and MonHun threads crowding the front page. Also I believe 10 was the first year the catalog was made which made finding the thread you actually wanted so much easier, none of the front page bullshit.

He didnt mention AAA shit.

Big problem with /v/ is retards like you who can only think in extremes and give shitty kneejerk responses like that.

Not that anon but what the fuck is wrong with you? Can't you read you shithead?

>>322162676

Same. /v/ was 95% of my 4chan activity for 6 years.

It's hard to let go. I don't even play games anymore. I've become the tired gamer I swore I'd never become.

You claimed that reddit was regularly linked to here, which it wasn't. You're also insinuating that 4chan being xenophobic toward other sites was something that started with reddit.

Hell no. Kimmo shitty spam was so fucking annoying.

Well yeah.

>>322163070
Now we barely get video games threads because /vg/ exists. It's all memes, meta threads and console wars.

>>322162410
Racist posting was ironic back then, spergaloid.

Faggots like you are why this site is dead

>>322161997

I remember before captcha there always used to be this one post spammed over and over with this white tattooed trashy looked girl and the text "See her video here" or some shit.

That must have been like 6 or 7 years ago now.

Why are we even here?

>>322162334
~2007 I think. Maybe '08. It's pretty much as old as niconico.
>>322162565
Holy fuck, I haven't seen this in forever.
