When Boards Died

>>34350679
Anon you actually have that spot on. Or the boards I frequent I mean

/k/ will always remain a magical place

>>34350679
/pol/ -> 2015

After /pol/ harbor it's been nothing but edgy stormfags and /b/tards

>/r9k/-2014

More like 2015 when that Oregon shooter posted here before fucking up a college.

>>34350679
>/mu/ - 2013

>>34350770
/pol/'s been that way for much longer

/po/ still going stronk

>>34350825
Nah it was done by then. POO POO PEE PEE/GBP/tendies meme wave killed it

>>34350841
I'd argue /mu/ truly died 7 months ago, since then posting has dropped severely

>>34350825
>>34350851
/r9k/ truly died when Smug Pepe became popular.

>>34350851
Fuck you. POO POO PEE PEE was the best thing that has ever happened to this board.

>>34350679
/x/ is still dank asf

>>34350848
Yeah but now it's like an ISIS recruiting board

I arrived on /a/ in 2007 straight from Gaia Online. >tfw people think you're an oldfag when you actually killed the board

>>34350770
I'd argue the election is what truly killed it. The huge influx of newfags meant that what was at least semi-competent discussion turned into same-y threads about the elections.

>>34350877
I laughed. The smug frog boom was advertising to reddit, /b/, and /v/. There were POO POO PEE PEE threads on every fast board, and /r/4chan fell in love with Pepe because of it. By late 2015 over two thirds of the people browsing this board had never heard of Heinessen archive. Post frequency doubled, and the population was almost completely replaced by people much younger and much dumber. Feelfags either killed themselves or they're trying to fit in on wizchan.

>>34350863
It got consistently worse throughout 2014. Elliot Rodger was the swan song of this board.

>>34350679
s4s was born dead no? I never saw the point of it

>>34350679
/pol/ - 2014-2015

>>34350679
>/tv/: 2012
>the year Baneposting began
Nice try faggot, 2012 was the beginning of the great revival on /tv/. 2010/2011 was the end for /tv/, following the era of Drive/Abatap, all the tripfags got driven away, we even had refugee threads here on /r9k/ in the end of 2011.

>>34350888
It's easily the dumbest board on 4chan.

>>34351195
The Ape of Thoth is based though

>>34350888

/x/ are just FNAFfags IRL. If any board is going to be deleted it'll be /x/.

>>34350863
Changing sadfrog to pepe, changing Normalfag to normie, normies REEEEEEEEEE XD, rare pepes ect. ect. is what killed this board

Thanks to this shit normalfags starting thinking we were being ironic and we became a meme board

>>34351350
>Changing sadfrog to pepe
Pepe was his original name. "Sadfrog" was just a name made up by people who didn't know where Pepe originated from.

/v/ - started to decline around 2012, dead by 2014

>>34351376
I know, but no one on 4chan called him pepe until recently
It was much better when he was a reaction image and not a meme

>>34350679

/mlp/ was huge in 2012, hit it's height in 2013, and died in about 2014

>>34351350
NORMIES REEEEE posting was bizarrely cancerous. Years of great greentext stories and soul crushing feel threads, but this board went mainstream only for complete garbage. I hate normalfags.

>>34351007
Agreed. /pol/ had a much wider variety of content even just prior to the election. I have been continuing to hope that it will gradually revert after the election hype dies down.

>>34350972
It was more the response to Gaiafags that killed the board than the actual Gaiafags. Also the fucking waifu posting.

>>34351389
/v/ has been shit for one reason or another for as long as I can remember.

Lanced Jack was way before 2012 and /v/ was fucking atrocious during that era.

>>34350841
>>34350859
/mu/ never died, it lives on eternally in my heart

>>34350679
/co/- 2012

>>34350770
/pol/ became a Trump echo chamber. Not saying I hate Trump, but it seems weird that he became their new Fuhrer overnight. I even remember bringing up Trump one time in a post before the group think shifted over to him and got a few sarcastic replies.

/jp/ died in 2013 due to extremely harsh over-moderation

Some bits of the community still exist in the following spinoffs:

http://ota-ch.com/jp (most popular one)
http://what-ch.mooo.com/what
http://gnfos.com/jp
http://merorin.com/jp
http://no-you.com/jp
http://bunbunmaru.com/wakaba/photos/
https://himasugi.org/jp/
https://kakashi-nenpo.com/jp/

Yes there was actually this many external imageboards created based on /jp/, all because of over-moderation of /jp/.

>>34351608
Wasn't that the year Moot told everybody it was his favorite board? It was really naive of him to answer that question.

Also, >no tohno

>>34351579
He's also a huge israel ally. /pol/ used to hate juden raus.

I just don't get it.

>>34351608
/jp/ is easily still one of the best boards on this site

>>34350770
/pol/ started falling after Zimzam, although the newfag wave wasn't as big and cancerous as latter ones.

The great cuckening after GG and the exodus was the death infection. All the election cycle was the virus spreading. /pol/ becoming "mainstream" and full of the_donald new fags and other cancerigenous scum ended it.

The merchant barely gets posted, Ben Garrison is now a hero (and he played nu-/pol/shits well by catering to them with his work, gaining notoriety amd shekels), Evola is unknown, and the board is flooded with autistic memes like the Bogdanoff one.

This alt right shit is the greater meme of all. All the faggots who "represent" it are just con artist leeching off autistic retatds' shekels just like others do with leftists. It's funny because old /pol/ pretty much stood against this.

>reminder that /b/ is dead

>>34350679
I hope your implication is that s4s was dead on arrival, because if not you're a poop.

/int/ died late 2014, last big thing being the ausmoot hacker and sheikh.

The board is nothing but generals and everyone being hostile to each other in an attempt to try to 'banter' each other.

>>34351863
This is the new /b/ though

>>34351429
Shut up fucking briny fag

>>34351656
I think, but I don't think it had anything to do with it.

Pretty sure Tohno is more /a/ affiliated.

>>34351779
You wouldn't understand.

It's still a good place to talk about certain """Otaku""" topics (still extremely harsh over-moderation though), but the community/culture that used to exist before isn't there anymore. It could be described as "2D/Random" what used to exist, I just can't even explain to you what used to be posted there before the new janitor went on a rampage.

The spinoffs at this point really aren't even close either, at this point they're like IRC circlejerks of 10-20 members who have been there for years.

This is what a randomly selected day of /jp/ looked like in 2012, it is nothing at all like what you will find now:

Notice all the deleted threads? That is Janny, he HATED the posters of the board, they all left until it became a sterile ground of nothing but Jenny-approved generals like it is today.

hello r*ddit

you are exactly the cancer that killed /pol/

WE MEMED A GOD INTO PRESIDENCY /B/ROS :DDDD
MAGA MY DUDES XDD

/sp/, whenever it was that the autistic fat fuck got his "job" and decided that the board should be nothing but generals.

Fucking moron.

>>34352159
Channel your power guys! Make thirty replies to this post if I have trips!

>>34352159
You guys backed a fat guy with shitty hair that happened to win the presidency and you posted nothing but the same opinions on an imageboard and got surprised when repeating digits happened to have the same opinions as you. Please go to any website other than 4chan from now on.

/co/ died with the ponies.
>>34351569
Correct.

>>34350877
It was but it wasnt. Yes the wave of OC was incredible but it attracted so many outsiders that it wasnt even funny. Maybe if there were less rare pepes and more poo poo pepes then things would be different

Which board's next?

>>34350679
So which is the hottest board of 2017 so far?

>>34353024
All of them now that /pol/ has successfully flooded every board with its cancer.

>>34353133
Honestly, I don't know what /pol/ has straight up destroyed, although they've brought in a lot of new retards who generally lower quality most places. They may have helped us kill /lit/, but that's at least partially on us.

>>34353547
How did that even happen? It's a /v/ clone now

You can pinpoint the exact moment /mlp/ died.

>>34352159
It was 8ch who did it, not the notorious hacker and leader of anonymous 4chan that you normies know of from top10 videos.

Originalz

>>34353570
Traps, macposters, Terry, and anime

>/lit/
>2016
that's the year I left, so I approve. but I left for r9k

Any board that is actually mainstream enough to "die" died in like 2013 at the latest. The super mainstream ones like b, v, r9k, pol, etc all died in like 2010ish.

>>34350679
a lot of people might disagree but i'd honestly say /b/ completely died in 2013. and now, it's a literal shell of what it used to be.

>>34351429
Good, it never should have existed in the first place.

gas the ponyfuckers.

>>34351429
this. i realized last week how the whole brony thing used to he HUGE, and now it's fucking gone like the wind.

>>34350770
>edgy stormfags
Its been like that since /new/
Are you a newfag?

/b/-2009 nothing but porn now
/pol/-2015 mainstream Republican news site now
/g/-2013 smartphone mentality now

>>34350679
/lit/ died after /his/ was created. All quality discussion was moderated off the board and then people didn't come back. We still need a religion and spirituality board. /x/ sucks and I don't like creepy posts.

I honestly think hiroshima nagasaki should delete /pol/. It's outlived its purpose.

>>34353938
>We still need a religion and spirituality board

This part of 4chan's history is dead. /pol/ gave up Christianity when they found the Trump bandwagon, and the rest of website's going to swing back to Bush era Atheism.

>>34353977
I still have productive discussions on religion over a number of boards and the replies frequently exceed 300+. There is huge demand for such a board but every time I suggest it on /qa/, the thread gets swarmed by fedora faggots who claim religion is the same as /x/, which it's clearly not.

>>34354055
might as well have a philosophy board

>>34353977
>This part of 4chan's history is dead
I disagree. Reactionary Christianity won't be mainstream on 4chan but it will still be around. At the very least, there will be disdain of scientism and dismissive logical positivism.

>>34353938
A religion and spirituality board would either be great or awful.

I don't think it was overmoderation, if anything /lit/ fell to undermoderation. my diary desu, pure ideology, John Green is a cuck, etc. A ton of shitposters went there.

>>34354069
I would like this too but many retards would insist that belongs on /his/. /his/ is pol-lite and it's garbage. I really wish it didn't exist.

>>34353976
> delete one of the most popular boards

>>34354118
Cut costs, keep the porn boards.

/tg/ died in 2015.

>>34350841

Correct, or close to it. After share threads died due to megaupload and rapidshare and such being shut down, that's when people thought that there was nothing left but to shitpost and /mu/ became /maiwaifu/

>>34350679
s4s was dead from birth

>>34350679
>lit/-2016
what happened to it?

>>34354352

Also I want to add that I started coming to 4chan around 2006 or 2007, and /b/ was always shit. The endless trap / cuck / porn threads of today were the endless image macros and memes of yesterday. Literally /b/ was never good so stop pretending it was, we all were younger and had never experienced anything like it at the time so it all seemed amazing at first.

>take off the nostalgia goggles.

>>34354389
We had an ongoing raid and /his/ was created. Now it's frogposters reading penguin classics

Too many newfags

Newfags not lurking

Newfags bringing their shit into here and not adopting to chan culture
