>tfw browsing 4chan since 2009
I was the young newfag once, now I'm just an old cynical asshole
08 here, ready to off myself
>been lurking since 2009 (senior year of high school)
>occasionally got called a newfag or plain out cancer
>been here 8 years, longer than 4chan was a thing back then
I still feel like a newfag and I wish I could go back.
I started browsing 4chan in 06 because I though the habbo hotel shit was ~hilarious~
the pool has AIDS lol requesting blackup am I cool yet you guys
>started when I was 14, in '07
>spent a decade on/off this site
>tfw grew up surrounded by a group of cynical homos halfway around the world
it was worth it desu

>tfw getting older but life isn't getting better
Everyone lied to me
2014 here, came from Reddit. Such memes, so dank.
>>36985240
You know who else is just an old cynical asshole ..........????
>>36985283
Remember when troll face was cool?
I've been here since 06, was looking for yuri one day and found /u/
2008 here
I'm slowly reaching the point where the userbase is just so clearly too new for me to relate to them.
I've managed to leave /v/, now if I can just leave /r9k/ and /pol/ I'll be free.
I remember in the early years I used to brag about how long I've been on 4chan
"I've been here 4 years! I'm no newfag! I know how this place works"
It's now been a fucking decade and I literally just don't even give a shit anymore. It nolonger feels likemy identity, it's just like going to the mcdonald's across your street for breakfast every morning because it's there

This, exactly this. It's just another part of my day, I slowly drift between boards but I don't feel part of the community anymore.
I don't enjoy coming here, I come here because I don't have anything else.

I assume you're referring to the trollish face of my good friend Dr. Richard C. Mongler?

The pain is never orge, we have become 4chan.
we all know this is true
>>36985509
This is truely the most disturbing timeline
Le fat sienfeld man holding baseball bat
I'm planning to write a tragic play about the alienation the lowest class of men feel in modern society, and how men are paradoxically made to accept the responsibility of their gender role, but to also disregard it.
Being on 4chan for a decade has given me an understanding of the mindset of the "virgin male" that I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. It's allowed me to understand myself, and to realise that my life hasn't been unique - that there are many others who face the same problems in the world today.
It's okay robots. Just like all tragic figures, it's sort of our fault we're in this position, but also not really. We were just born at a time where we are utterly useless and of no value to society.
>>36985509
Being a newfag looks like I hit the last stage quickly.
It's like a cycle - the more you post, the more likely you'll start to lurk.
>>36985240
>tfw life gets worse but all you can do is stay and browse 4chan
don't forget, you're here forever
>>36985654
Hee hee that's from the Simpsons!
soon you will have powers beyond your imagining
governments will rise and fall at your whim
>>36985240

>>36985482
WAIT A FUCKING SECOND
THAT GUY CAN'T BE A DOCTOR
HE WAS A 4CHAN MEME FOR YEARS
2006 oldfag here.
>Left during boxxy cancer
>Left again during pony cancer
>Came back like 2 months ago
>Gonna leave again due to meme cancer and shit kids
>tfw used to shitpost about jews
I WAS JOKING
I WAS JUST FUCKING JOKING
IT WAS A MEME
COME ON
>>36985833
you'll be back, because there's more honesty here than in the real world and you'll miss being able to speak your mind freely.
>>36985240
09 is nothing.
t. 09
>>36985240
I've been browsing since 08 and I'm only 20.
>>36985240
>2009
that's post-newfag cancer era shitlord
2006 reporting. Oddly enough I've become more optimistic and happy as time has passed.
>>36985326
06 at 13 here, no complaints
>>36985984
2005 here. That's bizarre because I remember random-lulz culture was in full swing back then, and now we're deep into "several paragraphs of why I hate my life plus a pepe image" culture
>>36985240
>starts lurking in 2009
>thinks he isn't a newfag
Fuck off back to plebbit newfag.
>>36985443
I'm getting to that point too. I feel like an old man, but god damn, I don't care about horny kids' """feels""" and memepression because they're bored and their parents won't do their jobs.
I'm a grown-ass man trying to min/max his credit score like an MMO while juggling hobby projects and shitposting on the side. It's becoming clear that I've outgrown this place, but I don't know where else to go.
