Hello /b/, I've been wondering how long have you been around

>>732036278
ive been here all summer. im basically an oldfag

I was 12 when I discovered encyclopedia dramatica back in 2008, growing up with 4chan is the worst thing that can happen to someone

>>732036344
You came here by accident or did you come here cause someone you knew told you about it?

>>732036426
I think I did about the same.
I stoped coming for a couple of years, though

>>732037175

Almost ten years. I was 14 at an anime convention and someone told me it's where all the funny internet jokes came from.

I've been trapped here ever since.

>>732036800
wasted dubz on a bump post

>>732037198
Got it from a friend
Worst thing in my life but i enjoy some of it

>>732037322
The internet jokes were also what attracted me, the part that really amused me was seeing how even on an anonymous posting board people could still band together to do amazing/terrible things to other people

Newfag here. Been here for a good 6 months, maybe more.


Only lurk.

>>732037365
I mostly come back cause of the quick access to porn, but I usually stay out cause of the toxic environment

You're doing it wrong, faggot.

It's been so long (and so many PCs) since I actually lurked and posted that I don't even have a img folder anymore

>>732037782

>>732038342
Everything changed. Theres hardly any fresh content everything we are doing now has been done before. Op rarely delivers. there needs to be change but /b/ is what it is. Pic related kind of.

Got here at 14 looking at /co/ because I'm a fuckin geek. I'm over 18 now and regret ever coming here. The only reason I stay is because the porn here is better than reddit's

>>732039085
I don't see many people trying to start any "OP-Whatever" anymore, is that still a thing?

>>732039332
You think so? I go there for porn also, I just don't like the hassle of links to other websites, but at least there you get some OC porn (amateur at least)

>>732039427
Was one the other day and he ripped his toenail off. Been done before. Fuck sake op has cut his toe off before with an axe because someone told him too.

>>732038997
For me it's a fun way to pass time and numb my brain
Whenever I'm devastated angry upset or whatever I come to /b/ to calm down
I mean, life isn't so bad after seeing someone blow their brains out or get raped, it puts things in perspective. Throw in some ylyl to get that smile back on my face and there you go: life is okay again!

What about you?

The feels threads at night can be really good most people drop the face that were all assholes and come together its comfy

>>732039662
As I said before, mostly for easy access porn, but today I decided to interact.
Didn't feel like doing the shit I have to do

>>732039662
I mostly stay out cause of the things that draws you in, apparently. I don't really like seeing that shit, most I see on violence threads are animals eating/fucking up other animals

>>732040152
Porn is indeed also a good reason to come here

As for the interaction, I like that too. It feels like a place you can open up about stuff because no one knows you anyways

>>732040290
I wouldn't say I enjoy it... it just helps me cope with shit

>>732040550
oic
at least it's helping you

what happened to the boxxy threads, isn't she /b/'s queen anymore?

>>732042186
Boxxys a shit

>>732042186
did they die out slowly or was there some sort of purge?

>>732042381
I meant it as a joke.
I'm really curious on what I lost the time I spent out

>>732039636
Oh wow, some things never really change, do they?
What about politically charged operations?

There used to be lots of "rate me" threads, is that still going on?

>>732042538
Well weve got trump. So theres that. Took ot a couple of isis training camps. /pol/s still shit though.

>>732042459
I gathered that. Where you been? Jail? Or just living life? Hows things going for you?

In the 60's for me, everything was black and white back then.

>>732043213
Just living life. Life's fine, I guess.
I'm now 26, trying to get my first undergrad degree (been dragging this shit out for a while), living with my gf and 2 other friends (soon 3).
My only issues are my chronic depression and fear of responsibility (still haven't got a job)

>>732043574
How to find your way here?

>>732043540
Thats good man at least your aiming for something and working towards it. Im working 72 hours a week in low end job to keep me and my girlfriend housed im my area its not easy. Enjoy it while you can.

>>732044251
My job prospects aren't that good also, my area (history) is mostly teaching, which pays terribly. Also due to recent political shitstorm teaching will get even worse. I'm not from the US though, so at least I don't have Trump for president.

>>732044573
Im on the railway so there is an up but at the moment im just a labourer. Im from uk and its shit over here at the moment. Have you thought about private tutoring. Theres money there.

>>732036278
came here in 2009 when i was 13 and been here ever since. 21 now

How did you come by?

>>732045625
my neighbor mentioned this site to me. He was 15-16 when i was 13

>>732045507
not many kids out there looking for history tutors, mostly math/language/chemistry/physics
I'm currently thinking on getting another degree, maybe in geography.

>>732045757
What do you come here for?

>>732045866
>>732045933
Double dubs for me

>>732046022
oh WOW

Discovered the site when I was about 9, because some creepy pasta website mentioned /x/

>>732036278
>about 10 years ago
Same, I'm here since 2007

>>732036278
Back in 2010 or 2011 during the pony wars. Was 14 / 15 back then.

>>732046166
Do you lurk /x/ also? Why do you come to /b/?

>>732046215
>>732046287
How'd you get here?

>>732045933
If i remember correctly, he just told me about this cool site that I should check out, On my street He was the only other boy around my age so we hung out a lot. I also remember him telling me not too have it open on the family computer when my mom was around

>>732046394
Makes sense, most parents would get horrified if (they knew) their kids were lurking. What do you do here most of the time?

>>732046215
>>732046287
I saw some disgusting shit on the internetz (like shitting dick nipples) and came to this place to find the origin of it all.

>>732046673
Did you like what you found? Why do you still come back?

>>732036278
I came here two years ago when I was 13. Pretty cool place but I think it fucked my brain up.

>>732046789
I lurked around on /x/ for a long time, then /b/ and a ponyfag for a while, too.
I stopped being so regular on here from 2013 to 2016, only occasionally on /pol/ before ending up on /his/ after curing myself of racism.
I like the site / board culture and the shitposting. This site basically defines absurdity and that's what I like about it. I like the constant bickering of boards, the raids, the lulz, the inside jokes, everything.

>>732047185
How'd you get here?

>>732046671
Mostly Lurked, After my first year and a half of highschool, i got bullied a moderate amount so, lurking and the occasional post in random threads was a nice mix of being able to participate and still not being singled out.

>>732047288
kids at school were talking about it. went to 4chan . com first. nope! then googled it and found the right one.

>>732036344
Kekin n chekin

>>732047272
Nice double dubs
I think I never went on /his/ before, I'll check it out.
I didn't remember /b/ being so racist when I came here, but at the time I didn't care so much either, so there's that.
I couldn't agree more on your description of the site

>>732047390
Why do you still come by?

>>732047577
i ask myself that almost daily.

>>732047308
That's cool, I imagine it must've been refreshing. Being bullied is never nice, good thing you could find solace here.

>>732037677

>>732036472
I'm here cause my uncle use to touch me and record it , then those videos first got here ,then me

We're attracting shit-posters, guess it's more than I expected. I thought this thread would die the moment I posted it.

I'm actually prettty surprised that this place is still around as of 2017. The internet is almost all normie now and one would have a hard time finding a place with such a dedicated community as 4chan.
Makes me feel like somewhere I really belong to, haha.

13 years ago at 25

>>732049031
And how'd you come by this lulziest of places?

>>732048983
I'm not that surprised, but it is weird that this place hasn't been flooded by normies

Couple of months ago. ED led me here.
I'm 21.

>>732049389
How'd you like it? Everything you ever dreamed of?

>>732047733
yea right? now about 10 years later, I still lurk here almost everyday. Not saying that its the end all be all, like there was definitely times where I got invited out when i was like 17-18 and I chose to stay home on /b/ and other boards because of a mix of anxiety, social pressure and me honestly hating the world a bit for my experiences. I think /b/ is more of a therapist at least for me in a sense cause whenever I was having a bad day i could always just post about whatever was up with me.

>>732049031
Happened upon it by chance. I find it hard to believe when people say a friend told them about it.in the early days nobody would admit to browsing here it was that fucked up and novel

>>732049170
As long as the board culture is kept up, this place has a tendency to convert normies or make them leave.

>>732049102

Probably about five years. I'm eighteen.
Finger box.

>>732050522
finger box?

>>732049978
Guess you're right, if they can't find anything they like they'll more likely leave

>>732049890
Well, I'd guess when you know someone who'll really click with the shit that floats here, I don't see why they wouldn't share. I don't recall telling anyone about it when I was younger, but at the time I was sort of a late arrival between my no-life acquaintances/friends

>>732050752
Newfag.

Since 2011 i think.. One day a friend started telling funny stories about this place. Si basically browsing here since then. It fucks you up a little i believe..

>>732051578
At the time I felt like I found a place I belonged, after a while I noticed I just like to read random shit online from random people. The inside jokes were really fun too

Couldn't agree more. I was thinking, it's hard to imagine any of this on a forum with more rules
>>732052299
How'd you come by?

2006 to 2009. came back summer 2016.

mostly lurk tho

>>732052922
How'd you learn about it?

2009 when I was 21

>>732053151
found a picture that traced back here. I was looking for people to battle with on pokemon.

I'm guessing this thread is about done, so thanks for all the answers.
