>>718733189
All /b/ is now is porn, mainly penises

>>718732859
Free range amateur porn

simple.

2012 most "ops" ceased
2014 YLYL threads all shit
2015 rise of Loli and futa
2016 most content isnt original and every image or video of porn is met with a barrage of "source"

these are my opinions i have been browsing since 2009 but as of late well the site no longer is of much value.

simply put... everyone gets older and eventually moves on

>>718732859
There was an exodus of OG /b/'s who then left because 4Chan started attracting people based on its uh... image, I guess, so people would come here and be all ooh I am the edge and then spout memes. Some stayed and adapted but mostly it got overrun with "le dank memes" and children basically.

I think we'll find that as the mean age of /b/tards grows, it will change a bit but the amount of fag-o's that rushed in create a culture as such. Lots of gay threads, but lots of hate, too. It's an interesting mix. Also, too many boards. It creates too much welcoming space for the types /b/ fundamentally hated.

>>718734592

Yeah, i know. this type of post has been said every year so i am sure before 2009 people still said it was turning to shit.

I like to think of 4Chan like Call of Duty. I was 15 with the original came out and it was great. even when Modern Warfare first came out it was great but as i get older it feels like it has been flooded with a bunch of 10-16 year olds that have all had sex with my mom. again downfall of getting older.

>>718732859
fags didn't shut this shit down quick enough and is now overun with realfags. It's all about traps, feet and fag threads now pretty much. /b/ has become the new gay internet hotspot. By 2018 /b/ will cease to be random and become /b/ro lovers

>>718735031
YUH

Ok. Here's what you do.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Click on "feedback". Explain POLITELY and ELOQUENTLY that you would like better moderation on /b/ because the flood of non-nude images of girls causes the board to stagnate. Do not be rude. Do not sperg out.

Everyone should do this. It will take you a few minutes tops. If you're not willing to do this, then you don't deserve a better /b/.

Don't kid yourself - traps have always been around. Shit, one of the most famous shemale pornstars (bailey jay) got started on 4chan in 2007 as Linetrap.

Where 4chan really went wrong is just going "mainstream". There never really was some special critical mass point where everything just went down hill... It's just that as the site got more and more popular it attracted more and more normalfags, which after a point drove the good content creators away and increased the amount of normalfags on the site.

Now it's almost entirely normalfags just posting porn and bad attempts at trolling.

>>718733437
Faggots were posting dick pics on the board before you finished middle school, kiddo. You probably think fingerboxes make you an oldfag. Kill yourself.

Oldfags grew up, stopped browsing. Newfags who heard about the site from reddit/youtube or edgy memers talking about how this was "the dark side of the internet" started flocking in and attempt to imitate the oldfags that are already gone.

So basically all the people who posted cool shit in threads are gone. They grew up, got lives, and stopped browsing this site. Now the new people are coming in to see the "worst site on the internet". /b/ isn't the place it use to be because the people who use to browse are all gone.

Pretty simple where it went wrong: Everyone got too lazy and made it too easy to be found.. Whatever happened to warpinging for some dumb ass who left their WIFI unsecured one a device you bought with cash from a pawn shop?

You let these faggot ass punk shit heel whiny bitches backtrace everyone and shut down the horrifically beautiful humanity that was 4chan.

Then, when looking over it all, you saw wild and great things mixed in with some 10 year old getting her cunt ripped by her stepdad and you learned to not even flinch and keep looking for anything interesting.

Now, this vanilla washed faggotry is all that is left.

The answer is to backtrace the faggots calling for mods and posting some rekt threads of the results.

Need to get rid of most of the mods as well from what I see..

Whatever, it ain't coming back here, but it lives on elsewhere.

>>718732859
Been on 4chan since '04. Abandoned /b/ around '12 because it got so full of faggots. I check back every here and again to see what's up with it and it's even worse than I could've imagined when I left. /b/ has been dead for a long, long time. What you're posting on is basically an imageboard for pre-teens and young teenagers who watch leafy and keemstr and h3h3 and filthy frank and other trash. Most people from original /b/ split off to either /pol/, /r9k/, or other boards and many left the site entirely. Can't say I blame them. Watching this site go from basically the web capital of the "resistance" (so to speak) against cancer to the capital of cancer has not been easy.

Very true, arrived in '07 to the glory days and saw originality peak around '10. With the exception of some bright points of light, /b/ has faded into wwyd threads and regurgitated posts

Enjoy this gem.

I personally love the shitstorm that starts every time some poor faggot makes one of these anti women or feminist threads. Gives me a chance to see just how upset I’ve made everyone and chuckle a bit. You think jokes about kitchens or showing tits bother me? It just goes to show how much power any random female holds over you, they can pull your complete attention away from a topic just by having a vagoo. Sure, you’ll act tough and cynical here, but we all know it’s just a desperate overcompensation for how much of a doormat you are IRL. If you decide to lash out and act a bit sexist now and then, I can’t really complain. After all, we do pretty much run the show. Men rely on us, work for us, spend money on us, and buy us houses and cars and clothes, sign prenups that we can turn around and cash in when we feel like ditching them for a younger, cuter piece of ass. Got a kid with a girl? Don’t fool yourself, it’s HER kid, not yours. Piss her off and she’ll take it and leave your ass, and you can pay her a nice chunk of child support for the rest of your life. Yep, this is the power we hold over you. So you go ahead and make your rape jokes, really. I still know that when you see me on the streets you’ll be watching, getting hard, and probably crying a tear or two because you know you’ll always be a forever alone faggot.

SauceNao has been around longer than you, and it was made because people always wanted the source of stuff since day 1.

The ops were shit, and the cause of the sites rise in popularity and decline in quality. The idiots that took part in anything like chanology, jessie slaughter or whatever retarded ops people made up were hated on here back then.

Loli, furry and other unusual tastes in porn have been around /b/ since the early 2000's.

The only cause of the place going to shit is that the majority of the site is here because they think /b/ is some secret underground club for kool kidz rather than a nerd hangout where those who's lives consisted of anime, porn and hating social interaction could talk to each other.

>>718740945
/b/ will never be great again. Why? Because the internet, the organism that houses it has changed beyond repair. /b/ was the quintissential icon of classic internet nerd culture. And it remained relative pure in this sense because nobody else was on the internet except the true nerds. But social media ruined all of that, and now "internet culture" is basically meaningless, it's just image-obsessed teen girls posting feel good memes.

The internet nerds of the pre-social media area all had something in common. We were all loners for the most part, we were generally enthusiastic about technology, and there was something that attracted us about the text-based anonymity that this place offered. Something the ever-connected teens of today's internet will never be able to understand. Now obviously /b/ isn't quite as normie-fashioned as Facebook, we still catch glimpses of that original culture every now again. But it's getting increasingly poisoned by the arrival of newfags who would never even understand the difference. Enjoy it while it lasts my friends, but /b/ is never getting better

Been in this shithole since 2010, I keep coming back for some reason. Fuck this site and everything it stands for. My /b/ hasn't been original in fucking years. And everyone is even more of a faggot ever since that faggot heaven left.

>>718732859
we need a new website with mods that aren't faggots.
That is seriously the only problem.
The mods like gay porn and furry shit and they let it run rampant across this board.
4chan is dangerous. They know that.
So they let the plebs run rampant to drown everything else out.
Not only that but a bunch of fucking liberal faggots have been coming on here lately. Mods shouldn't ban them because 1 they are stupid and by speaking they only make themselves look worse and 2 free speech. but this site would have never tolerated the fucking liberal faggots if it was like it was in the old days.
I know i'm gonna get hate for saying that but anybody who was on /b/ when tumblr first came out will remember that we hated that shit from the start. We already knew it was a cess pit. We hated everything that wasn't Strange and funny. We didn't even talk politics that much but the feminazi's mobilized us to create a counter.
Can you imagine how long feminism would last with the old /b/ around.
Think about that for a second.
Now think about why /b/ is also purposefully let to go to shit.
interesting thought right?
What happened to moot?
He got cucked out and ran from this board. He knew what it was and he hated it.
We were a monster.
And he had plenty of time to sit back and think about how to kill it but in a slow way so that it doesn't just rise up somewhere else.
Eventually he gave up and sold it.
Asian moot is a fucking faggot. I literally know nothing about him but he is still a fucking faggot. I don't need to know anything about him to tell you he gobbles balls everyday.
Who the fuck would hire mods this fucking bad?
4chan needs guidance out of the shitty place it has become and Asian moot has the power to fix it by just banning the faggots but he won't. I'm not sure if he is an SJW or just wants that ad money but he needs to fucking get his shit together and fire these fucking mods. jesus christ.
4chan use to be the final boss of the internet.

The problem came from people not lurking enough. Most people that came here in early 2000's came 2003 from somethingawful like I did.
Some things people should stop doing:

Saying /b/ was never good - /b/ was great, but most people that came here now aren't into early internet humor, and the others are copying what someone they think was kinda an oldfag said

Calling people oldfags - There are only newfags and others. Anyone that seriously thinks they're an oldfag is a newfag.

Creating threads that don't belong on /b/ - porn and stuff, mods are supposed to filter these threads to the correct boards.

>>718742562
this

>>718743036
I disagree. Social media did not gain popularity by a flood of people who had already been using anonymous message boards, it started with non-nerd teens who saw how cool it was that they could communicate online with their friends. I'd stay it ultimately started with instant messaging services like MSN and AIM and then ultimately worked its way over to browsers since that allowed people (mostly girls) to have their own "homepages" where they could post pictures and generally get attention. It was just like the cliquey desire for popularity that has been happening in schools for decades except now there was a new avenue for teens to get it in a new way. That's why Myspace was originally like all teen girls since they are generally more image-obsessed than guys, and then guys started increasingly showing up because that's where the classmate pussy was at now

>>718743281

No shit there was more anime stuff, 4chan was a board based off of 2chan meant for discussion of japanese culture, anime and manga. Why do you think there's a whole section dedicated to japanese culture?

>>718743187
Huge point made here. /b/ was a lot younger of a community back in the old days and so naturally we were all entertained by more immature shit. Which still seems awesome to us thanks to the nostalgia factor but people grow up and they don't have the patience for that kinda shit anymore. It's like how I used to be able to grind out 16 hours of Oblivion and stay up all night doing it no problem when I was 16 and now I can barely tolerate a video game for more than an hour or two unless I'm drunk and playing with friends or some shit

>>718743281
>Creating threads that don't belong on /b/ - porn and stuff, mods are supposed to filter these threads to the correct boards.

Sorry for being a newfag, but did mods ever actually do this? Or isn't this just something you think they should do?

i remember actual discourse, OC, real shock, and so many lulz

been on the site since 2005, the website was never good. When it was less popular there were raids and lots of cp, all that shit got shut down eventually ( except theres still a lot of cp in the kik groups )
4chan used to be very homophobic but now its gay as fuck, which isnt a bad thing, this place has always attracted outsiders and weirdos so the traps threads are very welcomed anyway.

If you think 4chan got any worse youre a fucking faggot and need to go kill yourself.

If I want to place an early internet nostalgia I think it's because people were in smaller bubbles. There wasn't a FB causing everyone to deal with the same shit, you had separate communities that were mostly preoccupied with their own concerns.
Sure like mid 2000's on there was an overbearing bush bashing trend on the internet but that's about it far as connecting elements go.

4chan at the start was mostly just anime when I first found it, bored me to death. When the anonymity starred provoking discussions you otherwise wouldn't have it started to get interesting for me.

Then the chanology shit eventually started and the hipsters rolled in and started taking everything seriously.

Honestly my main peeve with them too is just the flagrant narcissism that's usually driving it. I mean it's not like they're a Machiavelli or something, just a living example of the dunning-kruger effect looking to score hippie pussy. Which is fine but you don't need to put all this effort into it, I guess there's some ego involved.

They booked some success when someone personal army'd scientology and then all started trying to get in on it, got bored, then stuck around to circlejerk.

Then came the inevitable generation of kids grown up in a globalized internet society who've been exposed to enough to desensitize them like salty truckers but too much to breed much real attachment. They haven't been cottled, they've been raised by people who constantly whine about being cottled, and by 9 they have a following of e-stalkers trying to get them to show marker in vagoo. Some are fine, some are fucking idiots, like usual.

/b/ history in a nutshell.

For starters, you are full of shit. /b/ was full of porn that other boards weren't posting. When I came to /b/ nearly 10 years ago, with a few exceptions, it was an 'anything goes' place. It was fringe and fight club. Too many people piled in and ran it into the ground. Only thing I agree with is the 'lurk moar', all else is you talking out of your ass

>>718745238
Actually he's right, back when everyone started saying nigger all the time it was mainly just a joke for shock value, but then the real racists heard about how edgy they could be saying nigger and came here in droves

>>718745238
Then you must be new. It's a thin line, but it's the difference between someone posting a chart nowadays showing a rise in crime compared to percentage of black families over the years and a chart showing how much a black person's lips grow compared to how much watermelon they eat.

>>718745335
Yea sure man. Porn threads were relocated to other boards, exception to porn that didn't really fit in other boards. Also, you're opinion doesn't matter much, as 2006 was just before the start of an endless summer.

/b/ is random, you can post whatever you want, including porn. That's why it's random.

This is another reason why 4chan is dead. Everyone on this website is intent on showing everyone how long they've been here, when if you actually were here since the beginning (as if it fucking mattered) you wouldn't be on 4chan, you'd be somewhere else entirely.
>Saying /b/ was never good

I got into modding it and a lot of other vidya, talked to some studios about making fangames but always got shot down by a lawyer off the bat.

This pretty much defines my relationships irl.

>>718736760
You were there, too. Those were the days......

2012. Sabu got so many people V& (to be fair, idiots who trusted him but al the same) that Anonymous and /b/ were fundamentally crippled. The vacuum which followed allowed Anonymous to be co-opted by SJWs and most of the serious folk quit the entire scene for good, hence /b/ being essentially neutered.

Anon's central tenet was always to be entirely leaderless. AnonOps fucked up big time by coalescing the entire movement into a single point of failure for the feds to target, which they did with massive success. Oldfags warned at the time that condensing Anonymous into a single very public and high profile IRC network went against everything Anon was about and fundamentally compromised the opsec of the movement itself but people were too caught up in riding the international wave of lulzy publicity from the MSM to care. Looking back, IMO it should never have been allowed to happen.

>>718749802
Dat Sony leak though.
That was some straight up bullshit. Lots of regular vidya players got their credit cards and logins dumped to the silk road basically. And the asshole turned out to be a fed snitch.

But the way he's made out like some genius hacker is ridiculous. It was a simple SQL from a service with a public web front, that allowed SQL injection and contained root access to a DB with all data stored in plaintext.

Basically, it was waiting to happen and he lucked out. There was an incompetent asshole in charge of that system who left that bit of day 1 security slack 5 years earlier. It's astounding it didn't happen sooner, and Sabu like any other hacker lucked out by coming across it.

This is the leading fucking security threat generally that cripples western governments. They're still rolling out procedures much less adopting them, the people who use it aren't gearheads and don't know better. So you get stupid shit like someone's password being leaked in a public breach 8 years ago and they haven't changed it, and it just shows up in a package paid for by bitcoin.

>>718747580
I like this reply, upvote!

Joking, but I do agree. 4Chan lost its lulz when shit tier memes like barrel roll and duck roll became outdated.

I spent my time on /I/ and /b/ back in 2003, I loved the community. I loved the black hats and the fear of being doxed, I remember when we raided MySpace pages and hosted limited Stickam chats.

I can honestly say I miss Heaven and Moot's appearances on threads.

What does this have to do with anything? What anonymoose has done post-chanology has had virtually no impact on what happens here

Not even close dude...

I'm guessing he knows some people from irc channels that got v& or something.

Well 4chan went from a left-wing chan to a right-wing chan. That's why.

>>718751633
4chan never had a political stance.

>>718751694
This

It started with leftists due to Bush and chanology. Now it's fucking trumpers.

only funny thing on Reddit has been The_Donald, but it's gotten old ever since he got elected. People are just beating a dead horse there, or they're stupid enough to think he's actually good for the country. Either way, not entertaining. News is OK.

Good thing I rerouted my external databus onto an ethernet disk and then ultimately used an FFG firewall codec to reverse upload it to the mainframe and crash the servers. All thanks to my methodical analysis of the virtually unknown zero day exploit of Windows XP's Pinball, version 2.44b of course

Banana. It all started to go downhill with Banana.

I don't agree. Every media report about the AnonOps-Lulzsec axis from 2010 to 2012 conflated it with /b/, which led to a massive influx of people who saw Anon as a handy tool, looking to use /b/ for nothing other than social activism. If you remember those times, /b/ was an absolute hellhole - it was like a band of summerfags showed up with all their SJW bullshit and stayed around after summer was over.

I fully blame the media publicity for that, but at least before all the people fucking shit up for the lulzy sake of it got V&, the SJWs didn't accomplish much. They destroyed Anonymous and took 4chan with them as far as I'm concerned.

Let me ask you this, did you ever see /b/ worshipping fucking shemales BEFORE that period?

I will say the over trolling reached new levels

>>718752206
I know the engineer in charge of it. I'm also familiar with the technical details.

>>718752206
Traps, furries, and other cancerous shit threads have been around long before then. The only form of cancer that seems relatively new is the influx of cuck threads.

Anyway what I'm saying is that while you are correct about the general influx of cancer, I would not link this to specifically Anonymoose. Sure, that may have caused some people to come around but ultimately the news stories post-chanology weren't THAT big, it's much more likely most of the cancer just came by word of mouth from friends and by social media

cell phones

Remember

2k11fag here, I lurked hard for years, i remember greentext stories being abundant as fuck and i think people just started calling memes memes. It felt like a golden age in life, generally. The gaming industry and social media wasnt entirely shit and it was before /v/ split into two threads (fucking KS generals everywhere). If you look around, you could say everything is just not as good as it used to be. Movies suck, vidya sucks, its all people trying to make money and newfags or, normies as im seeing them called, are infesting everything. I stopped coming here in our year of the lord 2014 because the fucking banana would derail all the raff roose threads way too hard. Never cared to much about anything else but the laughs and when it stopped being genuinely funny, i just stopped coming. Maybe its because i actually read the rules, and abided, but ill always feel like the 2005 guy in that picture. Forever a lurker, peace /b/.

>>718752206
Shemales weren't really publicly a thing at all. I don't know how far back HRT theoretically goes, but the only ones I saw 15 years ago were either the odd surgically reworked transsexual celebrity or a very emergent tranny fetish on the corners of the internet.

I think when hormones became an accessible thing we got traps and the lines started to blur. Though tbh it wouldn't have happened in the first place if the desire wasn't already there. People were just more limited in their options and it was less indulged in and more internalized as depression.

>we

old /b/ guard is not here anymore. I believe some true oldfags might come back here one in a while just out of nostalgia, and since they have no other place to go. But this site has been taken over by normies and incredible newfags long time ago. Even op is wondering what's up with that mythical /b/ simply because he saw some faggot pic made by salty oldfag who broke rules 1 and 2

>>718752742

Perhaps. Although remember that the Paypal DDOS attack was front page news for a few days in December 2010, and I distinctly remember /b/ turning into a steaming pile of shit over the next several weeks.

The PA requests... Oh dear God the PA requests *shudder*

>>718752892
>movies sucks, vidya sucks, its all people trying to make money
okay so like for all of history for those things and every other consumer product. Hate to break it to you bro but everything didn't suddenly start sucking, you just grew up and so things don't have the allure they used to. I'll always love the N64 but objectively the games weren't that much more original or anything and the controller was a fucking Fischer Price abortion. It's just cause I was a kid

>>718753124
Fair enough, there was a role to be had. So some credit must be given where credit is due, just don't forget other means. The cancer has been contributed by many sources

I saw line trap aka Bailey Jay on here around 07-08 same with Alexis Saige aka Sarina Valentina and others. There have been traps here as long as I can remember just not so many

>>718752892
Old movies are overrated. They're campy as fuck now.
I remember being in awe about Phantom Menace and LotR. They pioneered shit, it was the novelty. Nowadays the midrange stuff is on part in production value, it's just not new anymore. But beyond that those movies didn't have anything really special to offer, the drama itself is what makes the movie a work of art and let's be honest some dude blasting his way through a police station with a shotgun while dropping one liners pumps adrenaline but it isn't a Homerian masterpiece.

>>718732859
Man, I'm still in 2005
Except I now have a tulpa since 2006

mods and janitors are the problem
normie betacucks
why the FUCK do they do it?
they dont get PAID!!!
they do it for FREE!!

Well there goes the thread. Good discussion /b/ro's, can't wait till the next time we get to scream faggot at each other for no reason

I only come back to /b/ to see what I left behind, and I'm justified every time.

It goes back to the 50s I believe April Ashley was one of the first document cases of hrt being used and there is a book about it. Pic related. I think most just hid back in the day and didn't let it be known for fear of being killed, beaten ect

>>718732859
Seems like an improvement to me. Guy on the left tries so hard to be edgy to mask his insecurity that no one wants to be around him.

Guy on the right seems to have lots of friends and an active sex life.

That shit did happen and it was fucked up.

Now it's looped into some faux political shit. This sjw/anti-sjw bullshit just can't stay on the internet. We'd be a lot better off if people stopped giving a fuck about interfering with each other's personal lives.
