Why do people constantly romanticize old-school 4chan? It had the humor of 9GAG and a user-base comprised of 13 year olds. It's just as shit now, just a different brand of shit.
>>
>>36590528
The vibe was certainly different. Trolling was just jokes, people had fun. Now it's just trying to make people angry. The subtlety is all gone and with it most of the humor.

Not really, the humor was more direct but the obscurity was the interesting part. You had the most fucked up people together in this site. They shared fucked up plans, fantasies and the same people came up with just as fucked up suggestions.

That was what made 4chan really interesting. Now you can find something obscure post it and you got a bunch of normalfags calling it weird and saging the shit out of the thread.

>>36590285
2005 4chan was the same as it is now. trust me. what people get shit for nowadays and get called a redditor for was the norm in these days. the only thing that really changed was that the enviroment changed to be rather hostile compared to back then.

>>36591051
this is still the case. people still talk about wanting to shoot their schools but the mods mostly delete these threads now. this didn't happen then. freedom of speech doesn't exist anymore on the internet. you cannot say whatever you want because everybody thinks you're serious. if you say something like: ''kill yourself'' ironically anymore because people actually think you mean it.

But in those days you could actually catch a ban for any arbitrary reason. Calls to invasion were a big one. Spamming desu desu desu would get you b&. But it could be any random reason a mod didn't like your post. I kinda miss that. I think this place was the opposite of what you're saying. Now we have free speech for real. This means that the person with the most time to dedicate to spreading their shit dictates the board culture. The mods are basically invisible. You never see user was banned for this post except in extremely rare circumstances. The departure of moot made this even more rare.

This place is like a ship without any captains being steered by passengers that keep arguing over which direction to go. It's going fucking nowhere.

Also the idea that a bunch of normals are posting here is ridiculous. Do you really think Chad and Stacy want to come here to look at trap dicks and hear about the Jews? You're fucking delusional. It's just people like you that know these kinds of people bother you. They pretend to be them to rile your dumbass up. You take the bait every time just like all those people calling JLH a cunt 5 years ago. You give trolls the exact reaction they want and encourage them to keep doing their thing.

Basically this. 10 years ago, 4chan was basically /s4s/ on every board with an occasional gem of a post that some idiot would screencap so 10 years later we can pretend we were there and reminisce about the good old days of 4chan. 4chan was never good.

>>36591510
It's like the pop music of your youth. Of course it was shit. But it's shit that makes you feel nostalgic and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. It reminds you of a time in your life when you had hope and everything made sense when in hindsight everything was fucked and you were a complete moron for thinking otherwise. You'll never see life through those rose colored glasses again. You'll never spam pool's closed on habbo hotel dressed in proper nigra attire. You'll never post another bulletin telling some kids friends not to come to school tomorrow because you're going to shoot it up using a phished MySpace password then laugh when you see the news story about him getting arrested. The good times are gone and all that's left is porn and nazis.

Yet you still keep coming here hoping to catch just a little bit of that old feeling of being a retarded teenager. It feels good. Sometimes.

>>36591637
it was fun and inventive at an exceeding rate

some things might seem cringeworthy in retrospect but there was something about 4chan at that time that felt like the cutting edge of culture

memes worked in a way that they don't now. they were fun but authentic and childlike in a way

now it's nothing but a million layers of post irony and forced memes

the big difference in my eyes is that everybody on 4chan at that time had to be on their computer. this makes you more invested in threads and draws a naturally more intelligent user.

phoneposting fucked all that up

I wonder if anyone in the future will think of today as the 'good old times' even though everything is shit.
At least it seems like the old /b/ and the raids were fun, but /b/'s 99% porn today, it's hard to imagine that anyone'll miss this shit in the future.
>>
>>36590528
I remember early 4chan as a chill place. The humour was alright but not shoving it in your face all the time. The jokes were actual jokes and nothing was being forced that much. If it was it was quickly shut down or ignored.

9GAG are the forced jokes and the retardedness of /b/ but ramped up to 50. /s4s/ could also be seen that way too.

Shit started going downhill around the time Boxxy came along
>>
>>36591775
the point was that you had to be determined to be here. You had a sense that whoever else was in the thread, whoever else was communicating with you was somewhat like in many ways. I remember the excitement of finding 4chan and it was like I'd discovered people like me for the first time in my life.

Now you don't know who that person on the other end is. For all you know it some faggot named Ben waiting at Subway for his girlfriend scrolling through 4chan on his iphone. the userbase has no common identity
>>
>>36591815
Boxxy turned out to be a man in drag anyway
>>
>>36591815
boxxy came a little after the project chanology shit where a flood of people came in, and this was their first big "new meme" so they pushed it hard. it's fucking ridiculous.
and yeah, I remember before "newfag" was a term, not everything was "trolling", an "attempt", "bait", "ruse". You were allowed to joke, or set up a joke, or be the butt of a joke, because nobody was paranoid about being trolled.
>>
>>36591782
Normalfags still find Pepe, Trump, "fucking normies", REEEEEE and "dank memes" to be the height of comedy. They STILL think frogposting is funny. This is what's changed. People cling to memes that should have died 5+ years ago because they assume that it's a necessary staple of the board rather than a forced one.

There are people who think this is a golden age.

Without 4chan I'd probably be some numale beta orbiter who spends all his time virtue signaling trying to get some pussy. Happier perhaps, but emotionally dead inside. You glorious faggots make me laugh, have introduced me to new hobbies, and honestly it's been great to have people to talk to.

It's pretty fucking crazy how "trolling" is now a crime if you come from bongistan.

The injokes were the best. Like for instance I used to see a van being driven around with a little pedobear sticker in the back window. It was subtle and always made me laugh when I saw it and was sort of humbled that there was another person so close who browsed. Nowadays theres fucking fashion being sold with memes on them and almost everywhere you look now you can see a trollface. It's disgusting.

This
4chan is stagnant
We used to come up with new memes that completely changed the board at least a few times a year

Now look what it's become. Go and look at archives of 2013, it looks exactly the fucking same as it does now. It's because reddit faggots invaded and thought that these shit memes we had were staples.

If you went on /pol/ when it merges with /mlp/ there was absolutely no pepe, no kek, no tendies, no sign of any of the shit memes we have now and that's because all the redditors left for a day.

People who think 4chan hasn't gotten considerably worse need to get their fucking head checked.

what really rumples my jimjams is how EVERYTHING is a "meme" now. It's no longer an inside joke for a community, it's literally any and everything on the internet. Comic strips are "memes", an image with words written over it isn't an image macro anymore, it's a "meme", the most normie hobby (television) joke references are "memes".
I blame the bad advice dog/courage wolf/pokeparents for setting the god damn template.

4chan used to attract highly creative people

this is why reddit couldn't come here. people here were so creative that they could turn these reddit faggots away with a few sentences.it was simply too much for them. too chaotic.
then reddit created this idea that 4chan was some forbidden place. so they started processing memes created on /b/ to make them palatable for your average idiot. slowly but surely reddit and normies invaded and killed every last but of that creative chaos.
Their is nothing original about this entire website anymore. No amount of kek meme variations will prove otherwise.
This place is reddit now. Predictable, boring, mundane, pedestrian. etc etc

I can feel myself cringe a little when I see an image macro being referred to as a "meme" by news sites.

Gonna say that while yeah "nothing ever really changes" and "the old times being better is just in your perception, man", my experience of r9k (and even pol) in 2010-15 was vastly different to what it is today. In fact even since 2015 there seems to have been a massive negative shift in r9k. Best period of my life was 2010-2014 or so with r9k red-pilling the shit out of me while giving me thousands of amazing stories from sensitive males all around the world, along with a lot of creativity and humour. People used to say the place would be a lot better if the tripfags left, but now I even miss swami. pol reached it's peak when this crazy Australian guy Peter Nolan started posting there because he wanted to start a men's bank.

you can't expect the curve of funny new memes tp considerably flatten after a few years. the memes people here have been low-hanging fruit and it's getting harder and harder to come up with something new and worthwhile. that's what happened with every genre in art out there. things go stale, it's the way of the world. just because you weren't born in the 20s doesnt mean you can't enjoy jazz.

It literally is reddit though
Look at how much the population of this site has increased between 2014 and 2016, it has gotten to the point that anyone that was on 4chan before even 2013 is now in the minority representing only about 25% of all posters

I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that 4chan has forever been turned into reddit and that it'll never become what it used to be. I want to leave but there's nowhere else to go and other Chan sites have the same problems we do here.

Reddit destroyed something great and I don't even know what to do anymore.

LOL!, you clearly didn't browse 4chan in 2005, this place was a hell hole of people trying to trick others to make mustard gas, destroy their computers with magnets etc stupid shit

/b/ raided other boards with gore weekly, people proxy posted CP etc on normal boards and so forth

I think they were trying to get rid of normies with that shit but they failed and got edgy teens that liked rotten etc shitty sites to come here

Then the original dwellers got bored of this place and were replaced by edgy teens that are the current "original 4channers before it became a public", if you're looking for the real original 4channers they probably either went to deepweb, jail or heroed themselves long ago

Now days this place is full of everything from normies to edgies to weebs to furries to pedos to niglets etc, 4chan has been a corpse of what it was for years, it was never good but now it is practically just another normie board with some autistists still sticking around that originally came here when people pretended to be retards to mock them but they didn't realize they were being mocked and made home here

Confirmed newfag.

This site was much, much better during the 2004-8 period. The board culture was far more intelligent/mischievous/energetic. Raids and pranks were common place. The people were more angry/defiant/stubborn.

Normies ruin everything they touch because they are low-IQ, uncreative, emotionally vapid, ego driven monkies. They do everything to fit in with others and scold anyone who doesn't. They completely lack the mental and emotional sophistication to appreciate anything beyond very basic and primitive culture. They "appreciate" art only to fit in and recieve validation from their dumb little peer groups, not because they actually appreciate art.

Chad aside, most normies are sub-human sheepies. I don't care if you call me edgy or autistic, this is 100% true. They are trendy human cattle.

I'd really like to know why Africans don't invent things. I used to think it was just a meme, that they didn't have resources to build stuff other than mud huts. But almost every other country to my knowledge could work with wood, they would build rafts and eventually boats, and eventually ships. It's like they're content to live life as it's dealt. They don't experiment with shit the way other people did. Somehow people made glass, forged metal, tamed horses, recorded history with chiseling, invented paper and writing, LANGUAGE with speaking.

Sorry this post sucks, I had to get it all out, Africa is fucking stupid.

Net neutrality is that isps can't give preference to certain customers just because they pay more. Basically everyone gets the same speed from the provider, however without it providers can create "fast lanes" for persons or companies that pay more. Meaning they will have priority when it comes to uploads/downloads. In short you'll see more ads and social media shilling.

I'm American, I fucking hate Donald Trump and will celebrate the day he dies, and I don't believe this at all. It might make life a little bit shittier for pirates.

Except streaming piracy which piggybacks off Google most of the time and would be completely untouched.

Also wanted to add, people who stream legal content will be fucked FAR harder by this. That's what this is truly about. It's about companies that made huge investments in traditional forms of media like cable TV being able to hold onto that cash cow longer. Look up the case between Comcast and Level3. They don't want you to cut the cord and just watch Netflix. They want you to pay for cable AND Internet.

I agree, I do think though that surviving in a harsh environment acts as a sort of purifying flame. Only the best will be able to survive and reproduce, while in Africa the needed Darwinian fitness is lower. Stupid people breed a lot and don't really contribute to the advancement of society outside of producing more workers. That's not to say everyone in society needs to be high IQ but in my opinion low IQs need to be kept in check, while the mean of the rest of society should hover around 100+.

Fuck. Same here. That's a fucked up thought.

Actually from 2007 to 2013 this place was my favourite site on the internet. I railed against reddit and would go on 4chan at least once a day. Now I might visit this place once a month and I visit reddit every day and even participate very actively in subs for niche interests of mine.

This place got stale, but worst of all it's for the reasons that drew me to it in the first place. The limited life of discussions and anonymised userbase can lead to some amazing creativity and also a willingness to have conversations far outside the norm. But in the end the ephemerality of communication here ended up making most discussion worthless and the only way to keep a convo going is to stake out ridiculous extremes of conversation without the burden of ever rationally defending them.

Even as a hyper SJW Christian Communist I used to love this place for its ironic sneer at public holy cows and authority. Now its just begun to take itself far too seriously, with a userbase that are full on unironic, pathetic Nazi trash. And I'm not talking Spengler or D'Annunzio Nazi trash, whose ideas you can legitimately have an interesting debate about even if they need to be bashed. I'm talking Nazi trash whose ideas about the world come from image macros with the word "cummies" all over them.

I still thank this site for the views, attitude and humour its given me but it's pretty much stale garbage with a user base of bitter fucks these days (and not the fun kind)

I vastly prefer reddit, even if there are plenty of things to dislike about it. You guys failed me ;_;.

I listened a number of, admittedly heterodox, thinkers whose ideas and movements had a central theme of religious faith as motivating resistance to hierarchical authority, poverty and violence.

Wouldn't you say that's a fair response to a question on the origins of Christian Leftism?

If one were to defend liberal democracy one would talk about Greco-Roman institutions, English Parliamentarians and the French and American revolutions right? Even though those moments and movements have vaaaaaast differences and some were even outright scornful of some ideas regarding democracy. Still it gives us a vision of the broad idea of democracy as having a historical current. One could do the same for religious conservatism, or fascism or any number of ideologies.

I feel the argument I made in brief had at least a degree of coherence, don't you?

africa is a hostile environment, it's full of diseases, parasites, insects, poisonous animals, poisonous plants, other predators, other dangerous animals, constant unbearable heat, insane humidity levels and hostile tribes. even though africa was right next to europe it was still really isolated, sahara was almost impossible to cross from both sides and there were only a few shitty tribes trying to survive so eurasians didn't want to go there, this means that africans couldn't trade with other civilizations and weren't able to exchange ideas and enrich their genetics.

Something tells me you haven't been here as long as you would like us to believe. 4chan has been on television throughout the years for what goes on here. Ever we popped up on google's radar we've been mainstream.

Life will forever be tough, work is called work for a reason it isn't not supposed to be fun. You need to cultivate a passion for something to help you continue with life. Mediocrity is hell, you should aspire to be a fanatic about something whether it be music, sport, or some creative endeavor. Once you have something to live for you will be able to better enjoy life.

Raids were fine back when not many people really knew about 4chan. Between the fact that some people actually cared about rules 1&2 and that when you said things like ebaumsworld did it people didn't know any better than to think you were actually coming from ebaumsworld not terribly many people managed to find their way back here from the place being raided. In those days it largely spread by word of mouth on different forums and BBS among fairly isolated Internet subcultures and trickle outwards due to overlap in userbases, even when 4chan did become common knowledge to users of a particular site the isolation of the Internet from the real world in those days meant that it never really spread to the 3D masses.

Old Gaiafags and Newgrounds users who made there way here in that manner are probably among the largest remaining groups of the days before 9gag, Tumblr, and Reddit

>I remember the excitement of finding 4chan and it was like I'd discovered people like me for the first time in my life.
Iktfb, the guy that showed me 4chan was pretty much the only kid in school I could relate to and when he moved soon after, it was like the autistic faggots here were my outlet. I could post what I found funny and actually see that others agreed, while in real life you'd just get the typical "Fuck off, loser" from everyone.

>>36591965
Come to think of it, you're right. The last big meme I can think of on this site was /tv/'s Baneposting, and even that's 5 years old now. In a way, the inventive nature of the meme leaves it as the last vestige of "classic" 4chan, where jokes evolved and were universal and unironic.
Hell, that was about the same time people stopped getting "rused" and began being "baited" too, and right when the boogeyman status was given to Reddit and 9gag was all but forgotten.
/sp/ is the only place I regularly see new memes but even then they're all just spamming a historic chokejob.

I wasn't around for super early 4chan years (2006 and back), but did none of you actually go on /b/ from 2007-2010? Shit, I couldn't lurk for a day without seeing some faggot post CP behind seven proxies. You were relentlessly mocked as a moralfag if you didn't get exquisite glee from "the lulz" at the expense of others.

Hello I'm technically newfag. I want create good memories in this site and remain here for many years so in the future i will be able to get that feeling of nostalgia that only oldfags get. When i get that feel, i'd like to argue about how good were the old times and complain about the shitty landscape of this site in that future. I'm actually creating a folder containing screenhots and best moments of this site. I plan on opening it passed 20 years. Then I'll open a thread and I'll post them.

lol just lol at the idea of those types of people being on 4chan. The most 'normal' person you'll find on here is probably some guy selling drugs to football player types, definitely not one of the true blue popular kids who doesn't know what pain feels like.

nostalgia, everybody. fucking everyone up since literally forever.

4chan was never "good," or at least as good as everyone thinks it once was. the only reason every thread screencap from 2007 you see is legendary is because there would be no reason to screencap a thread otherwise, let alone for that screencap to survive for a decade.
only the "good" threads survived all these years. the trash was forgotten about quickly. the same thing happens with pop music. pop music has always been trash and will always be trash, but only the legendary tracks survived all these decades. this is why we get "le wrong generation" retards.

4chan was never good. nostalgia is a kind of poison that fucks with your objective view of your memories. maybe the memes were a bit different, and the tone of the place was different in the past, but it still sucked.

>>36613030
>If I pretend my subjective opinion of the past is correct, then everyone else is wrong
No, I think older 4chan is better than current 4chan.

I really fucking hate it when people use "you're just being nostalgic" as a fucking argument, it's fucking meaningless.

>This older game is better than the new one
>Nuh uh you're being nostalgic! who cares if it has more content and depth?!?!
>>
>>36613125
yeah nah fuck off mate. you pretend your subjective opinion is better than that other guy's subjective opinion, then I come and pretend my opjective supinion is better than your subjective cominion then some other faggot opins and subjects his pretentive betinion is than my colective dominion and we never get to find out who killed general mustard in the library with the candlestick fuck you fuck
