Be honest. You weren't 18 when you came to 4chan. How old were you REALLY when you first came here and started posting?
>>36029692
I actually didn't start regularly browsing until last summer, a few weeks after I turned 18. GotchyaPls I know I'm a newfag be gentle
Like 16? I didn't post until I was 18 though or very often. 21 now btw
>>36029692
I came here a few times out of (normie tier) "morbid curiosity". Everytime I came to /b/ I never saw a thread I wanted to post in even though it was "cool" and "edgy". Just fucking dice rolling. I became a regular about 2 months ago when I found /fa/
>>36029692
I got linked to /v/ when I was 12, didn't understand or care for what was going onand I had enough interaction on Gaia at the timeand left. Came back at around 14 and stayed. 22 now.
>>36029739
16 in 2003 just like moot and the rest of the oldfags.
>>36029692
non jokingly since I was 13. /b/ was my first board, then /v/, then /vr/, then I found out about /r9k/ (I used to lurk wizardchan when I was depressed, but it was hard to relate to 30 year olds)
I dropped out of school in 10th grade and pretty much did nothing but post on 4chan for 3 years straight. I'm still relatively young though (20), but I've had this mentality that I will never accomplish anything in life ever since I was 13 (i was raised poor), so I haven't tried, despite never having a bad childhood.
a lot of the older poster would probably say to get my shit fixed before giving up though.
>>36029692
22, because when I was >18 4chan wasn't even created yet, you young fucking kids.
15 in '07, friend linked me to /b/
Thing is I didn't go declaring it like some of the retard kids around here these days. The concept of LURK MOAR is lose on the newer generations
A couple of times throughout highschool. Never regularly until my senior year when I was 17. Turning 19 in a month.
>>36029849
Underage b&, don't come back
at 11 years old, am turning 21 on the 16th.
Fucking kill me you cretins, no one deserves to be in this hell for 10 years straight.
at least I don't have to lie and say I don't have my ID to buy booze and now get em in bulk.
Vodka n Coke Coma here i come.
>>36029893
Like fucking clockwork; >>36029849
Enjoy being b&

now on year 12 of using a variety of imageboards
I'm sure it hasn't affected me in any way, shape, or form
>>36029692
I was 18. I obeyed the law. I'm a square so please don't laugh.
>>36029692
I think I was 12, I got bored of googling boobys
>>36030154
Well obeying the law is for the best. Lurking 4chan as a naive teenager doesn't seem healthy.
>>36029692Like 12 or 13Now I'm 19 and I haven't left and I live constantly starving for the validation of anons. I always wanted to be cool just like you.
>>36029904
>vodka and coke
Ayy, where you at fag we can drink away our pain from having grew up on 4chan together.
im 19 but in 8th grade i would go on mu sometimes
Started browsing /b/ when I was 16.
>>36030212
Stop browsing funnyjunk and then you'll truly be one of us.
>>36029692
I wonder if someone in kahoots with the mods makes these threads.
2006; I was 12 and edgy and came from Gaia Online
>>36029692
I was 14 when I first saw /b/, then I came back when I was 16 in early 2013
i learned about /b/ on newgrounds in 2006 and started browsing. I was 13 years old.
12, from newgrounds, been here a little over 10 years now.
>>36029692
i was 9
best day of my life
I've been lurking since I was 14, still hardly post
I was 16 years old when I came to 4chan in 2007.
Shouting in the halls of my high school about i'mma chargin mah lazer, do a barrel roll, and shoop da whoop, among other classic vintage memes.
I was 18 like a good boy hhaha12/13
>>36030236
I don't, I was on mobile and went looking for that mado picture and that was the only place I could find it.
>>36029692

Started in University.
Internet Aristocrat/Mister Metokur is a hell of a drug
I was 14 first I first started and its been 5 years. Man time really flies when youre having fun
>>36029692
No one on this board is older than 25, because you grow out of memes and woman hating (or you kill yourself) by that age. Prove me wrong (you can't).
please accept me
please call me cool and a good boy i've given so much of my life to you
I was 15. I'm 17 now, and it has gotten worse. Please save me.
7th or 8th grade so I guess around late 13 or early 14 years old.
I went:
/b/ -> /a/ and /b/ -> now /wg/, /pol/, and /r9k/
>>36029692
16 if I remember correctly, now I am 22 and can safely say that you're truly here forever.
>>36030570
>17
uh oh originoh
>>36030570
If you're telling the truth then get out right now and never come back. There is literally nothing good in 4chan and it will warp your perception beyond repair if you become too involved.
I've been posting since 2009, when I was 17 and it's had an indelible effect on my life without adding anything positive.
It's like voluntarily spending time on a hyper critical super-ego. Absolute madness.
>>36029692

>>36030434
27 here. I think our numbers are low, but there's still a few 25+ here. I couldn't care less for the ">tfw no gf" and general faggotry threads though.
Freshman year of hs. I'd already been online for many years and browsed tech, vidiya, and streamed cartoons and shit. Read an article about anonymous on wikipedia because they were in the news and it lead me to /b/
>>36029692
11
I'm 19 now
How is this not original?
I was aware of 4chan's existence when I was like 12 but I had heard from my friends that /b/ was full of fucked up shit so I didn't check it out until I was 14. And then I started posting after lurking for a couple of months. I'm 19 now.
So I guess I've spent almost half of my life on 4chan. Kinda weird to think about. I'm not as into it as I was. When I was 16/17 I had autistically collected folders and folders of images to use on here.
>>36030766
I'm retarded. That's only like a quarter of my life. Was going off of 12 instead of 14. Still feels like half of my life though.
Came here at 23 two years ago. I was looking for info on that reporter shooting that got caught on camera. Found a link to /pol/ and was impressed by how fast they were. Didn't take long to realize the race aspect of the board.
Found it funny though even though I'm mulatto and exclusively browsed there for a year. Got into /his/ and /v/ and eventually /r9k/ after that one university shooter was supposedly a robot. Realized I'm not super different from other robots and started browsing more regularly.
Started posting after I figured I had lurked enough to know how banter works in the boards. Haven't been called a newfag once even though I am.
testing tripcodes dont mind me sorry
>>36029692
I was about 14 and the first board I started regularly visiting was /d/
>>36029692
I was 14. I'm 18 now. Here's my progression of home boards:
/b/ ---> /sci/ ---> /b/ ---> /r9k/ ---> /pol/ ---> /r9k/ ---> /pol/this place is my home and I don't think I'm ever going to leave. Even if I tried to do so I'd fail
i was 12 or 13. i came to /b/ from ytmnd.com because i saw someone mention this place by name (remember, back then you weren't supposed to do that, rules 1/2 etc.) and for whatever reason i wasn't disgusted or anything
i stuck around /b/ until /r9k/ opened the first time, at which point i migrated over here because discussion on /b/ was basically impossible even at that point
i've never really strayed too far from these boards unless i need something specific out of another one
i'm 23 now
I was 14 and now I'm 24. I had a nice time on 4chan.
>>36029692
14
First boards was /b/ and /x/, then /b/ and /lgbt/, /r9k/, /lit/, and now >I'm 18 /pol/ even though shilling is constant and when I'm bored /r9k/
>>36031251
im 24 and same exact story, I was a pretty popular user on ytmnd and that led to 4chan in 2006. I do frequent /v/, /sp/, and /g/ though
went to /b/ 2 years ago cause i heard the word 4chan linger around the internet but never bothered to check and believed what people said about how nasty of a place it is
but than i found a rekt thread and browsed it from top to bottom, after that i started browsing the catalog a bit more than i find out about all those green text stories and wanted to stick around encase i witness one "live"
than i started to browse 4chan every day and every hour, before bed,
