2007 is widely considered the year where everything went to shit

>>38114446
oldfag here. Summer 2006 is when the gates broke loose. Raids are what really brought the masses here.

>>38114446
At least Fallout 3, Mass Effect, and Bioshock came out that year....

>>38114590
Fallout 3 was 2008. But COD4 came out in 07 tho

>>38114446
the Scientology protest were the final nail in the coffin.

Oh shit you're right, nice save. I agree with OP with the other stuff

>>38114446
2007 was the last year of good triple A title video games. After that they stated going to shit

Trump is objectively inferior to Obama as both a president and a human being. Trump has no ability to pass his agenda and clearly doesn't know how to negotiate. His fans only care that they can now yell nigger in public

The Cake is a lie isn't even close to one of the first memes. Memes been around since the 90s or even before.

pic related, probably the biggest internet meme 7 years before.

>>38114747
GTA V came out in 2013.
Breath of the Wild came out in 2017.

not true at all friendo

>>38114767
I said "possibly one of the first memes that the majority have no idea of its origin", not "first meme"

Go away nintenyearold

>>38114767
I thought all your base belong to me was the first

>>38114797
Everyone knew 'the cake is a lie' was a portal meme

Agreed, 2007 was the end of the old bastion of Internet culture.

>>38114758
Are you denying that obamacare passed? It's all his fault the healthcare system is in such a fucked state right now. All Trump has to do is nothing to be a better president than king nigger.

>>38114859
>implying that botw isn't a well made video game

go back to your early access games on steam senpai

>>38114941
Trumpcare is a fucking disaster. It literally means like 24 million people won't have insurance. Also keep in mind Obamacare is based on Republican ideas.

>social media gets really popular
Myspace was popular as fuck up until facebook came along.
>internet spying
That shit has been happening at least since Bush, I don't like it but it's not really new.
>big bang theory
Ok you got me there, that is pretty shit.
>tumblr founded
Didn't get nearly as bad as it is now up until 2011-2012 and up as far as I know.
>facebook
Got me again, also shit.
>myspace
Myspace was doomed to fail if it ever actually experienced competition, it was a clusterfuck, albeit a nostalgic clusterfuck for some but a clusterfuck nonetheless.
>bayformers
Personally I thought the first one wasn't too bad.
>iphones
I think this too was a little inevitable, they were basically touch screen PDA's you could call and text people with. Sucks a little though.
>sxsw
Not going to lie I have no idea what that is.
>the cake is a lie
Is that seriously the worst meme you can think of from back then?
>keep calm carry on
A stupid fad like the harlem shake and the Netherland's autistic obsession with flowers.
>great recession
That was 2008.
>soulja boy
Who was only a thing for a few years.
>kardashians
Shit but pretty much every reality show is. Pimp my ride, cribs, you get the point.
>obamamania
He was shit but at the time anyone who's last name wasn't Bush seemed pretty good.
>history channel
TV networks that don't solely show reruns go shit, what a shocker.
>G4
Sad but see the above line.
Personally I think once the 2010s started things went downhill.

>Implying that having fun is something to be sought after

>>38114446
>was only 10 in 2007
It does make me a little sad that I missed out on 2007 internet, because it is way different today

I am really sad I wasn't even born for the earliest forums and chatrooms though
>https://twitter.com/wwwtxt
I look at these messages and I always wonder what became of the people behind the screen who wrote them. Perhaps in another 20 years some anon will feel the same way browsing the archives of this site.

>>38115013
Cool memes bro! You sure showed him!

>>38114747
2017 has been the best year for games since 2004 tbrqhwy

>>38115006
obamacare would have been fine if they hadn't made it fucking mandatory for people without insurance.

fucking socialism.

>>38115997
The individual mandate is a Republican idea. They've always wanted to treat healthcare like car insurance. This is how they do it

>>38116381
No republicans voted for it. Dems could have passed anything they wanted.

>>38115997
>gubbmint doing stuff = socialism
is reading outlawed in america

>>38116411
Wrong
Reagan was pushing for individual mandate years ago. Obamacare is basically a rip off of Mitt Romney's healthcare plan

>>38115726
I get the same feeling when I see screencaps of 4chan posts from around 2003-05. What's become of them over a decade later? Do they still hang around here? Will 4chan still exist a few years from now, and if it does, will I still be here?

>Another r9k thread gets derailed by politics
Forget 2007, the 2016 election is the worst thing to ever happen to this site

I came here in 2009 you oldfag.
>Bitch about a website sucking for ten years but continuing to visit it.
Hmmm...

Well I'm pretty sure that was the year my dad divorced my mom, or at least the year he started cheating on her, which led to me becoming a beta and being bullied in middle school because all self worth was lost to being sad and not building good relationships in elementary school

Honestly I'm not affected by this widespread stuff, and I know few people who are affected as well.

But yeah 2007 was kind of the down fall

>>38116720
CANADA WILL NEVER WIN ANOTHER STANLEY CUP AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

I disagree. For me 2011 was the year I noticed things changing significantly for the worse.

>>38114758
In 159 days Trump's agenda is stay going ahead. His agenda to lower illegal immigration had worked, he's pulled out of the Paris Accord and Obamacare and other socialist pillars in this country are starting to be dismantled.

Thank you President Trump.

>>38115006
You are parroting the same debunked talking points. The 22 million number is almost totally those people that are forced to but insurance that wouldn't of they weren't punished for not.

There whole point of Trump care is to remove the failure of government from the industry. It's now looking like they will just repeal and be done. Which is much better than trying to replace.

>>38115997
Wrong, the gope has nothing to do with that disaster. Nothing.

Repeal it once and for all.

>>38117400
Illegal immigrants are coming across because Mexico's birth rate is too low. Its barely replacement level. His move to get out of the Paris Climate deal was redundant. Most states are going ahead with it anyway. Then there's the shitshlw the keystone xl pipeline is. The oil.companies hate it.

P.s Obamacare is still active. Republicans will not repeal it.

>>38116460
State plans work in a state setting. Federal plans do not. Obamacare has been a failure as everyone knew it would be. Time to repeal and go fuck yourself.

>>38117444
If those people don't buy insurance were at square one again. Going back to pre-2009 healthcare is a huge mistake.

>>38114796

>GTA V
>good

Indeed it was good... when it went into the trash

>>38117400
Do you even know what the Paris accord does?

>>38117475
Idiot.
Illegal crossings are down 80%, people are behind deported again and wetbacks are giving up food stamps and living in fear.

Without the billions from the federal cm government and the support of the carbon tax scheme the states that said they are going along with it are just virtue signaling.

Obamacare will be gone, telling yourself otherwise is just setting yourself to for disappointment.

>>38117494
No it's not. Pre-2009 is like Paradise for the majority.

>>38117525
It really was a transfer of wealth and unnecessary emissions targets for the us but nobody else.

>>38117532
The illegal immigrants will be back by fall. Those tomatoes won't pick themselves and neither will you.

The climate deal doesn't need carbon taxes. Renewable energy is naturally replacing fossil fuel.

If Obamacare was going to repealed they would've done it by now. They are coming up on 8 years.

Speaking for myself here.
It was all what OP listed and a number of personal failings and well just bad luck.
My life was really shit back in 07.
Maybe I'll never recover from it.

It was also around the time when the US fell to recession.

>>38114446
2007 was the peak of my social and personal life. Mid 2008 was when it came crashing down and I started coming here seriously.

>>38117584
The wets will be in for a rude Awakening.

But you are right o. Care isn't getting replaced. Just repealed which is better.

>tfw you are pretty sure you are partially responsible for the downfall of 4chan

I came here in 2007 after Portal was released and I got obsessed with 'The Cake is a Lie'. I basically dedicated my whole life to that meme for a few months, I was only 14 at the time. I literally bought everything in my bedroom to be cake themed, had cake themed pillows, bedsheets, had little cake toys and candles etc. Then I invited a girl to my house and answered the door to her in cake pajamas and took her to my room. She seemed confused so I said 'the cake is a lie, this bedroom is empty and I am naked haha lets kiss'. she got creeped out, mumbled something about 4chan and stormed off.

So I came here, and my meme obsessed mind led me to posting unfunny image macros for about 4 years, all I DID was post obnoxious memes everywhere.

>>38117844
I'm calling your shit anon. This may be robot territory but no one can be this autismo
