I was 29 when I first found /b/ in December of 2005. I lurked until March of 2006 and mostly only saved pictures during that time.

I was 13. I came here because someone decked out their forum profile with DESU shit and I asked them what that was all about.

like 15 or something

some guy kept going on and on about how his """hacker""" buddies from here were going to raid the nexopia forums(an old canadian social media site)

and then nothing happened

When I was in high school I found a site called encyclopediadramatica and concluded it was full of terrible people and pedophiles.

After I dropped out of college I thought I should waste more time watching anime and remembered this place.

2006, so 10

18
A friend on Anime site linked to a thread

I was about 21, discovered it from university friends. I'm 32 now.

In 2006 when I was 9, I came here for the memes. When I couldn't find any I left and didn't come back til I was about 13.

>How old were you when you first visited 4chan
I don't remember.
Very young though.

>and what brought you here?

I was probably 13 or so and googled 'crackie chan' just to see what would come up.

>>436083
23
I mass downloaded hentai flash games and one specific creator team caught my eye with forkheads. I went to their site and downloaded their rpgm game which had 4cha as a city one guy went exile to.
Also brought me to ytmnd before that.
This happened in 2010 iirc.

15, 2008/9, some idiots broke rules 1 and 2 of /b/

>>436414
You seriously spontaneously Googled "crackie chan"?

>>436493
he got possesed by the /b/tard ancestral spirit

I was 16 when i first opened the homepage and rules but waited 2 years when i saw the underage b& rule before opening this site again
Am i a good boy?

>>437035

good goy

I came here in 2007 and I was 13. I heard of 4chan but I never bothered to go there. But then I was chatting with a friend (who probably posted on /b/) and he sent me a link to encyclopedia dramatica. I spent a whole night on ED and I found 4chan from there.

I was 13 when I found out about 4chan. Newgrounds. I'm 24 now.

14 in 2009

Reading this makes me feel like I'm still underage. 2009 shouldn't be 7 years ago.

14 because reddit

Came here in 2008/9 to discuss the Avatar teaser trailer. I was late 20's.

someone graffitied "GO TO 4CHAN.ORG" on a bunch of desks when I was in high school

I was 16 but I didn't start browsing a lot till I turned 18 and my friends all went off to college but I stayed behind at a community college
Its been 2 years now of living with my parents and using 4chan as my only real social interaction

15, in 2006
i was friends with a weeb kid who talked about 4chan and /b/ memes a lot. eventually i decided to see what all the fuss was about. i distinctly remember thinking that this place wasn't as funny as he made it sound

You are all bad boys for breaking the rule

You are a good boy

Now I know why I haven't ever seen a credible 9/11 thread on /pol/.

It's because you faggots were all 5 when it happened.

>>437700
I don't remember 9/11 and I am now 20 years old

lmao I was 14 & legit friends at school told me there was depcapitated puppy heads & then boom... I'm here

Yeah, but I was more mature than many people here. I also hated being a kid.

I heard about 4chan in 2012 when I was 14, didn't have internet until 2014 and started actually using the site because PSN was down and I had just bought a PSVTV on boxing day. Inb4 underage, I turned 18 on January 21. Pic is the first image I saved.

15 but I only went to /h/ to fap

found it in 2006 because some of the kids at my school were talking about snacks and they showed me 4chan city.
21 now, you do the math.

16. I came here because people were talking about in on the WoW off-topic forum.

I'm 24 now.

>>436083
visited for the first time when I was 14 (2008)
started posting on and off in 2010, but still mostly lurked

started going "full time" in 2013

I'm pretty newshit, but whatever. I feel like I've assimilated better than most, apparently.

I've hated every moment of it

I don't know how I came across it but I somehow stumbled onto the site in around 2008 (10/11 years old). I only went on it like once or twice due to lack of interest until 2011 when I went on it daily and have since.

>>436526
That happened to my grandpa once,we had to call a priest.

I was 17 and I came here looking for Teen Titans porn
This was before the conceptualization of "Rule 34."

I was 14 and saw some sort of greentext, tracked shit down and found /b/. been here 12 years, now I'm mostly just in here and in /r9k/. It's painful. At least I lurked and checked out futaba first, I still use the ramen board in there some times.

When does the ride end guys? I-I wanna get off.

I saw the O RLY owl posted somewhere, found it absolutely hilarious for some reason and tracked it down to 4chan. It was either 2006 or 2007, so 14 or 15 years old.

4chan is an adult site, I don't get this mentality that it's somehow weird to be here as an adult.

>>438871
I didn't even start browsing till I was 18

16 or 17. Some people were talking about /b/ in a game. I went and saw that it was a place of utter stupidity. I came back too look at /v/ when I was 18. That was 6 years ago. Now over the last year I can hardly stand it. Something really, really bad started with the Fappening and GamerGate. I have no idea what I should do or where I can go. Send help.

I was 26 and one of the /b/tards that helped DDoS Visa got vanned and it compromised the security of another website that I frequented. I had never even been to 4chan before this, but after that I started reading up on what was happening here and eventually started posting on /b/.

2008 for porn and /b/ when I was 15

Didn't actually post until couple of years later

Was 18, appropriately enough.

Learned about this place from another anime/hentai site, DaTorrents which is now down.

Now 28 and still here.

I started in 2005. I was already 18 at the time.

6th grade in 2005. I left in 8th grade, and came back when 4chan got popular in my high school. Like legitimately almost everyone used it.

>>438087
Ha, same here except I was a bit younger. I never posted though, just lurked for a good 6 years or so/

Mine's a bit of a weird one.

It was back in 2005-2006, so I was 14-15 at the time. I used to be somewhat active on a forum called DDRFreak, because I was a huge DDR faggot. There was a thread in the off topic section of the forums filled with image macros and other "funny" images, and numerous mentions of something called /b/. When other users asked about it, they were directed to 4chan. That's the first time I ever heard of this website.

And the rest is history.

I watched youtube poops in 7th grade and in my google searches for memes got on the wikipedia page. Went to the website from there, couldn't find out which board was /b/, and left. A year later all my friends were using it. That was 08 to 09, I'm sad I missed the glory days but /b/ then and 2010-2013 /v/ was fun

>>436083
/mlp/ brought me here, started lurking new episode threads when I was 17.
>tfw I am the cancer

I was eighteen and fresh out of high school. I was dicking around on the internet for shit to do when I found /b/. This was in 2007 and I've moved around several boards. I first went to /a/ after /b/ and stayed there since, but I've had a lot of mistress boards. Currently I'm on /int/ as my secondary board.

14 in 2006
no idea what brought me here

Got linked to /a/ when someone posted a "every day until you like it" meme on r/anime in 2014. been loving it every dince

facebook online friends would always mention the big boogieman /b/ and how afraid they were to go there, that was in 2012
i went on and it was just gore and porn so i was like ok
then i came back in 2013 and havent left

18, when friend linked me to /a/ archive
