This is all you need to know

>>735475820
less traps and porn threads, less banana.

but keep in mind it was still filled with a lot of shit memes that new /b/ would call ""reddit"" on if they posted them here today DESU

also colorful PENIS

>>735475896
Fuck off newfag.

>>735475820
Much more quality cp

>>735475896
elaborate please

>>735475935
it was a meme to come up with shit memes back in the day, at least the attempts were funny.

Like hole gui

>person posts pic of themselves asking /b/ what they should do
>/b/ gets them to take specific identifying photos
>person gets doxed
>person deletes thread
>everyone reposts the whole thread
>/b/ sends the pictures/thread to the persons friends and family

remember when /b/ wasn't a nanny state? now the mods delete any "raid" or "dox" threads

>>735475935
i look at screen shots of old /b/ and i thought most of it was hilarious. When did it become glorified porn board?

Newfag confirmed.

It was like it is now, except less shit and with more #fortune.

>>735476429
God that post was fucking funny and gay

>>735476700
Especially since that anon is the newfriend.

>>735475820
un-ironic memes
raids
near no moral-faggotry
CP everywhere

>>735476779
'Twas good times.

>>735475820

All the good memes were new. There were less underage faggots, normies, and trap threads.

PEOPLE CONTRIBUTED. There was tons of OC, and raids were a surefire thing. Everyone was up for anything, for the lulz.

There were hardly any niggers, and no Tides Foundation threads (BLACKED, you can't compete, etc)

Way less traps

There was more of a sense of unity back in the day. Things started changing around 2009... by 2012, it turned into Face/b/ook.

>>735475954
Been here for at least 12 years now. There was never lots of cp.

There was still a fair amount of trap and porn. There were definitely more cam whores.
Most raid related things got moved to /i/. Just as many forced memes. Oh, and 4ch got ddos'd every other day.

>>735475820
everyone liked anime
now it's faggots who came from other sites
>eew you like anime??? lmao children
>let me post some FB fap threads and YLYL nigger-teir memes

What the FUCK?
I used to see CP get posted daily, sometimes the threads would hit the image limit or stay up for hours for lack of moderation, mods were probably literally sleeping
Where were you?

without cuckold and faggots. shit was pretty cash. tons of OC etc. then these faggots came, with cuck and bananaguy shit

ITT: golden-ager faglords.

/b/ has always been riddled with cancer.

It was a lot less formulaic a few years ago, to be fair. Seems like it's mostly the same 10 threads nowadays, with vanilla pictures of women.

>>735476931
Lol, some hardcore cp was the first post I've ever seen here and every day, especially at night, there was something. Sure, mods were erasing stuff, but still it was much more common.

>>735476809
I wouldn't say there was TONS of OC on /b/, but, you know. Way less traps, yeah. Almost non-existent.

Raids were always great, including inter-board raids.

>>735477058
It was like this before Hiroshima took over though. He just made it worse.

>>735476931
Bullshit you have. There was definitely a lot more CP, and the DDOSing didn't happen much until later on. Traps were rare for a long time (unless you count futas).

>>735477136
>/b/ has always been riddled with cancer.
Yeah, but it wasn't just traps and faggots in every second thread.

Shit load of spam and a few dashes of CP

>>735476931
>Just as many forced memes
There actually seem to be waaay less memes nowadays.

Also, this imageboard used to have more images. Reaction images, etc. It's more text-heavy now I think.

Neither of these things are better/worse. Just different.

>>735475820
One thing I really miss is the guy(s) who posted all the Dead Pool and so on comics. Threads went on for dozens of pages.

Hellow gnew phag. Old Bees are illusionary... just Bee and you will have such good times! I am a severely dated homo, regardless of what anyone says, and I assure you it matters not. It's pretty fucking dumb regardless of when you started the shit show... trust me. Badges of shit still just smell like shit... and then you have shit on you... who wants that? I guess everyone on 4chan... when you think about it. Just be very un-proud of being here... I think you'll gain some philosophical direction from that... I hope.

>>735477302
t. redshit

>>735477073
Yeah, there was cp. However, it was usually one thread per day. I don't think that qualifies as "tons of cp".
And even then that was still early on. By a couple years after chanology, it was already being moderated.

At one point I had a wine cellar.

Well, to be fair it was a wine basement.

OK... a small, otherwise disused wine closet in a basement... but I digress...

Five times every two months I would go down to it and turn the bottles, having no more response from the cheaper ones than the cold glass against my skin. On the more expensive ones I remember watching the grape silt upended in the bottle like a viticultural snow globe. It was beautiful. I'd have done it even if I never planned to taste the wine.

Cracky pics are like that. I've seen them all before... I could probably sketch them freehand. That isn't the point. The point is giving them that bit of attention every few weeks... appreciating her while respecting the fact that she is ever on the other side of the glass.

I could no more enjoy looking at them offline from a folder than I could enjoy turning the bottles in a supermarket. It just isn't the same as lurking about in the damp darkness of the 4chan wine cellar.

I honestly don't expect you to understand.

>>735477350
You're not welcome here any more, traitor.

OK, everyone in this thread needs to start a non-cancer, non-meta thread in the next hour.

Meme, spam, discussion, bait - it doesn't matter, as long as it isn't FB/Insta, 'shouldn't share', traps, or dick rates.

Have you ever seen one of those "post your house" type threads?
Sometimes it's pretty horrible.

>>735477441
dunno coach... what's mah motivation?

>>735477265
>Just as many
I'll requalify that, just as many memes were forced, as a percentage of what does get produced. I don't mean to say that an equal number emerge today.

I also agree it's a lot more text heavy today.

>>735477441
Not your personal screencap-sharing army, faggot.

>>735477350
>she is ever on the other side of the glass.
Wow, this copypasta actually predates flatscreen monitors.

I actually saw cracky's pictures before I ever came to /b/. Saw a /b/ timestamp in one of the pics. That's probably why I came here.

Op.

Basically this

4chan was a degenerate dungeon that spewed countless numbers of funny shit that eventually made it's was to the normies external.

In an effort to increase numbers and advertising revenue, old moot increased left wing, pro 'happiness' moderation squads who rid the world of the epic CP and edgy gore threads.

This was good but the double edged nature of this was that the board was inundated with newfag cancer from places like Facebook armed with newely aquired maymay they read about on encyclopedia dramatica. Before that shit existed the memes and board history was passed along through shitposting and that was fun.. because you literally had to lurk moar until you learnt everything or enough to not sound like a retard.

Gook moot and the additional coverage from gamergate and shit, us elections / pol have drastically increased normie numbers a d the place is as edgy as Facebook now..so it's damaged beyond repair until a third moot replaces hiroshimoot and has enough money to not worry about this places revenue.

If I win money. I dream of being that moot and sending all this trap, cuckhold gayness to the depths of hell.

hot wheels chan is a lot closer to old b but less funny

Also 2007 fairly old fag here.

>>735477515
Yeeeeeep.

I guess it's just because I'm a hygiene freak but I don't know how anyone could live like that. If you have rubbish, put it in the bin. It's not that friggin' hard, man.

It did feel more like a community. I recall raiding runescape, habbo hotel, club penguin and some other html5 mmo. And a bunch of cam whores not too long ago. Lots of shit threads about the queen of /b/. We used to play that game on the swedish special forces site, too and some GoT based game. Rolling for quads against giga nigger. Different activity. Used to be more wincest on the board, now it's closet faggotry. There used to be some good feels threads too, sharing and stuff. Better rekt breads. Now I have to filter through the fb fap, andy sixx log, trap, cum tribute, niggerporn and other shit.

They made a new board recently that's sort of like /b/, which is /bant/. Less cancer there.

Godspeed, faggot.

>>735477784
Wait? You thought all the trap and gay and blacked threads across pol and b were real? M8 it's operation normalise.. they're trying to change our dynamic

>>735477642
Name rings a bell but I don't remember seeing this.

I don't think I can eat for the next week now.

>>735477792
Fair enough then. I think it's automatically worse now because of all the traps and ponies and shit like that. At least there are more containment boards now, but those fags still think /b/ is a free-for-all (which it kind of is, but not for fucking ponies).

>>735478156

Y, thankfully most of the /b/ronies fucked off to /mlp/

>>735477893
No, I knew most of them weren't real, but I thought it was the JIDF behind it.

If you had actually been here for seven years, you'd realise that's normal, retard.

>>735475820
You wasn't there

>>735475820
There was less applied faggotry and more general faggotry.

>>735479175
Getting called newfag is normal and i am retarded for saying that it was funny
>funny

Different words and meaning how did you correlate both if i am a retard you beat me at it

pic related is actualy my job and i like it but nobody care about it

Back in my day, posts had no numbers. You had to count each post by hand to determine whether dubs had been gotten, then check them manually. Giganigga 9000X was just Millinigga and everybody made fun of him. It was an age when men were men and women were traps but, y'know, we were happier then.

>>735479756
Depends if you meant funny-weird or funny-humorous. The way your post was written, it sounded like the former. I apologise if it was actually the latter, though I don't think it's particularly funny in either regard, personally.
