There used to be a lot more Linux and NVidia shills around, pretty sure most of those people have been forced in to mental institutions or committed suicide by now which is good.

Literally, everyone was nice and helpful. Nowadays everyone's an asshole. You cannot have a good thread without it devolving into a shitslinging competition. Everyone is extremely paranoid about shilling and for whatever reason /pol/itics always has to find its way into every unrelated conversation.
In short it was just generally easier to post here without being ripped to shreds.

>>61310055
Everyone had generally the same opinions, though. Nobody liked Apple, except they weren't assholes about it. Linux users acted superior to everyone else, and Windows was being mocked heavily even then.

Is there a place which has similar characteristic like old g had?

It's not just /g/, but the site as a whole.
People took themselves much less seriously, the average poster age was definitely under 18, people would genuinely enjoy lame ass jokes that would be considered cringe redditor trash today, people here were much less jaded and loli dumps were commonplace.

Nobody ever argues 2004-2007 4chan was good, nostalgic? Sure, but almost everyone on the site was underage b& at that point, 2009-2011 are when the site truly reached it's pinacle, this sharp increase in quality on all boards resulted in more people visiting the site which eventually killed off the quality, it's been a slow decline since then and now here we are, every board is /r/thedonald and full of people that unironically think fapping to traps is '4chan culture'(although it is /g/ culture, next to loli).

Even if we're filled with /r/ronaldmcdonald faggots and trap obsessed faggots, it's still a bit better than boards filled with edgy underageb& even if we all were among that collective, but yes i agree 2011 is when it peaked and it's gone downhill since then.
Some boards are outright dead and filled with corporate shills like /tv/ or /v/ and others are dying cause the influx of edgy redditors was too much for their previous small sized userbase to counter like /lit/.
And /a/, well, they've turned into mongoloids who think they're elitist when they're the absolute most pleb niggers there are and the oldfags that preached the elitist stance would puke at their sight.

>>61312366
/a/'s idea of "elitism" is just to hate everything that isn't hive mind approved

>>61312112
My developmental years were shaped by me being an underageb& on /g/, googling anything I didn't know and picking up on the weird humor. I'll never admit it in a job interview but /g/ is the reason I know half the shit I know about computers now and, ironically, is the reason I'm a functioning non-degenerate adult with a decent programming job.

>>61312749
Same here, It's the only reason I even come back here after all this time, in the hopes I end up speaking to someone else who experienced the same things I did during my younger years here.

there have been a lot of nostalgia threads on many of the boards lately and the consensus seems to be that things were better years ago

when I was a dumbshit about computer /g/ seemed like gods
when I learned a little more about computer I realized /g/ is actually dumb

They were better times. We had the best tripfags, the best discussions and the best trolls.

After shills bleached the board with their rhetoric these boards became sterile and I only browse here once a week rather than every day.

Killing desktop threads did mark the end though. It was a wild ride.

Maybe it marked the end of an /g/ signature, but by the time mods chose to discontinue those threads became cringy waifu posting and role playing. Hardly anything to do with /g/.

>The problem started last Tuesday, according to the Plainfield Board of Education, which serves a small school district just west of Newark. That's when somebody posted a link to the login page and the administrative username ("admin") and password ("poopnugget") of the district's Genesis Student Information System to 4chan, a popular but anarchic message board best known as the place where David Kernell posted details of his break-in of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's Yahoo e-mail account.
>[...]
>In another screenshot, it appears as though the 4chan intruder could have sent a message to students and parents using the school's emergency notification system, designed to send text messages and e-mails to parents in the event of a major disaster.
>It's not clear whether the message went out, but if it did, parents in Plainfield would have received a technically accurate but tedious lecture on the difference between the Linux kernel and the GNU/Linux operating system.
