How did you discover 4chan? Tell us your story.

That girl that did a suicide i came hear to see the vids

>>718853929
I read green texts on other sites and decided to go right to the source

I come here outta boredom. Not because you stupid fucks have anything interesting to do or write anymore.

This place had always been shit, but there were times when it was interesting shit.

I knew that there was a wonderful place called /b/ on 4chan had lots of boobs, and my favorite gore/rekt threads. Found it out when I was 14 I am now currently 28 this place is awesome.

>>718853929
By a magazine some 10 years ago, but I just entered (and stayed) in 2013 during my depression..

dunno u

>>718854691
I honestly feel ashamed that I migrated back here from Wheelchair-chan. This place is cancerous, but at least there are people here.

I can't remember

It was fun then, but only because I was 16 and immature. /b/ was never good and it confuses me when people think it was. It was the same washed up shit then just more gore and less edgy faggots replaced by more autistic virgins.

It's definitely not. But loli still gets me rock fucking hard. Flat tits, tiny bodies, bleeding virgins.

I miss the good stuff though

As I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was confronted
By mysterious spectre
He pointed to the graveyard
Over on yonder hill
I paused in cosmic reflection
Confused on wondering
Of how I came to die

Hm!
I was confused
Coz if I was dead
How and why did I die
And I composed myself
And decided I should face it

Then I stood paralyzed
On the supposed golden path
And I was confronted
By powerful demon force
And there was the devil
And we spoke his words
Flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano
And I said:
Help me, Lord!!
I found myself in some kinda hell
But I did not believe in heaven and hell
World in opposites kind of reality

But I gained control of myself
And decided to press on

As I walked along
The supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear
All the lions and the wizards yet to come
I seen in the distance
Silver mountains rising high in the clouds
And a voice from above did whisper
Some shining answer from the moon

Please forgive me
I never meant to hurt you

Quite possibly.
Or its a healthy outlet for stress. Shitposting seems more sane to me than beating up a pillow or telling a hand puppet all about my day.

If this place didn't have such a shitty rep, I'd send patients this way. Instead, I have to give them an approved booklet with useful hints on starting a blog... mostly referencing tumblr.

By chance got that caption pic? "ya hear that... Slapping f5" haven't seen it in forever.

Back then the pizza threads lasted quite a while.

Learned to live with her usage after a few years

ITT the cancer that ruined this place

in the summer i decided to finally start using 4chan more often and try to lurk as much as possible

im a newfag loser

where i first came across Cheese Pizza, and stayed. sooo 8 years?

i like hockey.
came here for /sp/, stayed here for /sp/.
no one else gets the references.

>>718860087
nah, sorry, I don't have a "meme folder" or "reacting pics folder" or "/b/ folder". I used to lurk and never posted till late 2010/2011.

>>718858433
Yep. Never found the pics online anywhere. -- she claimed she never posted. Not sure I believe her, but her face wasn't in them and there are millions of similar pics online. Her tits didn't necessarily look like someone UA, so I let it go. I figured she'd be lost in the forest of selfies.

Back in 06 a friend told me this is where the worst things on the Internet came from. Wasnt that bad. I was told to Lurk Moar and ive been lurking for 10 years now. Still a new fag.

I have seen alot of weird inside jokes on the internet. Didn´t really care about it all that much but at some point i wanted to understand a joke someone wrote on youtube i think.
Googled it, finnaly understood the concept of memes and most of them originated here.
I got curious, decided to check this place out and now i fap to weird shit.

You're stupid.

Some asshole in the IRC channel I used to hang out in would post links to images here every morning. Fuck you Floyd.

>>718859450
I doubt this is real.

>>718858095
It was always shit

Anyone here old enough to remember the whole Cracky-chan saga?

> heard about hacker 4chan
>Google em

This place really hasn't changed, in my opinion, ever since that movie came out and referenced this place, that's when things got softer. Alot of the people who used to lurk during our time, have migrated to EIGHTchan. But it's probably a good idea to use tor to access it.

>>718860489
She did post stuff later tho. Ran across it on her computer. She was older tho, and she was always smart enough to keep them anonymous. The concept was mildly disturbing, but otherwise she was a good kid -- just a little twisted. Like her dad.

>>718860741
That wasn't even that old.

Pretty sure that's how I remember it. I also remember moot needing donations to keep the site up and when the HentaiKey owner got PayPal to fuck over moot so that he couldn't use PayPal to source the donations. The site was up and down constantly. Sometimes for weeks. It was a fucking mess but the drama kept me coming back.

I think it was an Asian guy I worked with at Dairy Queen who knew all the memes, he would say at the end of the work day time to g-t-f-o. Or maybe we both new about it at the same time. But that was 2008 and I think I had already been browsing b before that, its hazy because I started smoking weed around that time too. I think it was through an online forum or somewhere on the internet that first brought me here.

>>718860872

Over 10 years ago isn't that old?
