Occasionally browsed since 2006 or so. I started browsing /pol/ regularly during the election, then got bored and came here since my hobby is gaming. Now browse every day.

The console war falseflags are funny, fuck you. But during e3 it has gotten way out of hand. Hopefully it'll calm down once things move forward.

I came to /v/ from /b/ a long time ago because I liked videogames, this isn't even my home board but I like to lurk mostly for news and opinions on stuff before I buy it. Speaking of /b/, how long ago was the puddi song, don't think I've seen it since.

I don't even know what year that was. 2005 maybe? I remember GIANT ENEMY GRAB and RRRRRIDGE RACER! IT'S RIDGE RACER! for my first E3 watching with /v/.

I wish I had never been introduced, to be honest.

The worst part about these fucking responses is that you can't tell whether they are genuine. I don't even understand how you can find 4chan at this point. It's not the "epic meme" machine it was a decade ago, and places like Reddit have honestly taken its place. Why shitpost on a Taiwanese blacksmith forum when you could post on a board dedicated to literally whatever the fuck you can imagine?

4chan is mostly advertised by media and other retards as the counter culture place, when in reality it's just a board or two. Most of these boards are so different from each other in a local culture sense that you can immediately tell. I would assume the average user nowadays is just someone who stayed after a drama wave because they found a spot they liked.

2012, right when my life and everything i used to enjoy went to the shitter, living in real emptyness for the first time im my life made me stop being afraid about small things like being criticiized on the internet because it would spoil the fantasy world i used to live on.

This place gave me company through hell, and made me aware there can be always worse, so no regrets, today it's just like any other habit for me.

Probably like 2008? Perhaps 09. I know I was at /b/ for a few months in late 07, and then went to either /sp/ or /v/.

I rarely even come to 4chan anymore though, it's still okay but I've grown out of the mentality. Everything seems so childish and edgy to me now, Im starting to see that my age isn't the main demographic anymore and you get teenagers that can't stop talking about politics.

>>
>>380426432
I don't agree at all, 4chan used to be much more right leaning but not as much in a political sense but mentality wise. Now you see a lot more liberal opinions being posted that wouldn't have been conceivable a few years ago which is probably why so many boards are reaching shitposting levels previously unheard of. Still definitely mostly to the right though.

Its a bit funny because you could argue a lot of 4chan is more liberal than a lot of parts of reddit these days, probably not completely there yet but it seems its almost even swapped.

I don't really care either way but its been interesting to see.
>>

I came a long time ago when I was 12, never posted till barely a year ago. I mostly used it as social "noise" to feel less lonely.

>>380427220
Every time I said this I've had liberals yell at me like I was dead wrong like all this shit is new. I agree that straight up SJW shit is common these days which was inconceivable back then. For a while I thought it was just people trolling but it turns out we really have those among us. A lot. I'm also somewhere in the middle but 4chan has gotten way more liberal during the election season.
>>

>>380425404
You're an idiot, plain and simple. You are a simple, stupid individual, and your presence takes enjoyment out of people's day. If it's your goal to actively try to make things worse for people in any small way you can muster, than unlike you, I can tell you without 7 layers of irony, that this world very likely would be that much better off with you dead, as this is your idea of having a good time. On a large scale, I have difficulty imagining you as anything but a detriment.
No, I’m not mad, I just don't get my jollies from literally, if your coincidental choice of reaction image is any indication, hiding behind several protective masks. You are very likely someone who has had no luck expressing his true opinion in an open forum, and now resorts to sarcasm, no longer confident in his ability to hold a complex opinion on anything.

Now, this is going to sound like meme-core shitposting, but I have quite literally ascended past your stupid antics. You are not unique on the internet, you are more common than not.
And don't say I didn't warn you. One day all of this irony is going to end and people will be expected to actually wear their opinions like badges of honor. When that day comes, maybe you'll actually remember what that feels like.

I'm going to bed.

All other sites dont work for me. Its really mostly a technical thing. I dont care for traditional forums for all the obvious reasons, and reddits voting and general systems are annoying and killing discussions and threads off the bat.

4chans board structure is fast, simple and straightforward. Its way more open as well. That's why I always come back.

These days there's a lot of /pol/ shit being spammed on /v/ though. They are having their turf war with reddit, which is fucking annoying, becaue they lash out at absolutely anything that doesn't wear a /pol/ flag. A couple of screenshots from redditors saying they want to fight /pol/ and now for some reason /v/ gets patrolled by /pol/ spamming at anything that they consider wronthink.
This shit has really gotten out of hand lately. I dont care for SJWs and would tell them to fuck off just the same, but you hardly see SJW posting when /pol/ takes up 90% of the space.

Well, we gotta see how this turns out in end. Right now its insufferable.

Supposedly it was due to ad blockers but I remember people saying the thread about it that 4chan's ads at least used to work by charging per click, so ad blockers wouldn't have made them entirely unprofitable, just less so. So the theory was that either the way ads here work was changed or they just didn't want to go into whatever the real reason may have been, but that's all speculation anyway.
>>
>>380425643
Don't assume the news or the memes are the only vector someone may fall into 4chan from. I'm sure there are others like me, who heard about 4chan years and years before they actually started browsing, and instead of seeing some controversy or meme or whatever and deciding "that's the place for me!" just naturally gravitated away from the tumblr/blogspots/tvtropes with their whiny faggotry and away from the reddits/more typical forums with their user reputations and upboat karma postcount shit, to any site with enforced anonymity.

4chan is just the biggest and thus most likely candidate for us to stumble upon first, and (at least to me) it felt like a natural fit. It was only a few months later that I found out I happened to find 4chan right in the middle of the groovygrape and the fappening newfag flood.

Browsed 4chan since 2010 and /v/ since 2011. I wish I found this place earlier, or at least didn't take pre-2014 /v/ for granted. Still, you can usually find at least one good thread a night if you look carefully.

Tokyo Ghoul, when Kaneki fucked Touka for 18 pages the threads were laughing at tumblr and were hyped the madman drew it. You see some unironic post calling out the /pol/ boogeyman.

In late 2007 I was a poor fucking non-english speaking teen who browsed the internet, pirated vidya for DS and tinkered with computers a bit.
I accidentally found 4chan during that period but never stuck around, I think I came because I liked the YouTube memes. I started seriously browsing from 2010 on.

>/a/ is shit. The tumblr bitches have their grips on it. We let our guard down when Naruto ended. No one cared about the boruto threads. Now we have a bunch of faggots posting low quality mangafox images all the time. It doesn't help now that google changed their images search algorithm, no one can get their own sauce. It's a silent torture right now. I think the only chemo is to type nigger with every post you make.
There's still hope. Currently there's still a pretty clear divide between the nurutu/shounenfags/tumblrinas and the rest of /a/, compared to most boards where the retards are often indistinguishable from the people who belong. The low-quality phoneposting is a site-wide thing and Mangafox images were always common, all you can do is tell them to fuck off.
/a/ has definitely been in a slow decline, but it's a much slower decline than the rest of the site.

Man this place is a dump with how negative everything is and the fact that people are so absolute in their values. Shit is either the best game ever or worst game of all time to the point where dogshit is better than it.

I think in 2013/2014 or so, but before coming to /v/ I lurked on /s/ for some time
Before finding 4chan I used to go on reddit
I've grown out of that site, promise
>>
About a month ago. I regret it. I used to stick to /vg/ but when I started playing Nier Automata i began checking out /v/. And I wish I never did. It's full of some of the most hateful stupid ignorant bullshit I have ever seen.

>game doesn't make X amount of dollars; it's shit

>game doesn't rate so high on [GAME REVIEW SITE] it's shit

>game is even remotely some way similar to another game that made X AMOUNT OF DOLLARS and ranked X AMOUNT OF POINT higher it's shit

/v/ would rather believe that there's a guant conspiracy in which a game company tries to talk about how good their game is, rather than consider for a second that that game might be good. Any time someone talls about a game /v/ has deemed as shit they are labled as reddit or shills and then they go stroking their Nintendo like good goys. I wish I had never come here but I can't stop now.

>>
What year did you realize that you're becoming older and older and your fellow anons are becoming younger and younger?

For me it was last year.
>>
>>380432952
At the start of 4chan (you can verify this simply looking at very old archived threads) there were many tripfriends. 1/4 of the anons weren't anons. They were the main posters of OC, which was alright.
Then during the "heyday" of the website many users from awful websites (initially Gaia, then Reddit - whose main expo was the evergreen ManlyTears), or simply assholes, started using their names here to verify themselves and look cool. It backfired.
The trip culture went from productive to annoying, and they were mocked into oblivion. The no-avatarfagging rule was put into place, the term tripfriend was automatically bastardized into tripfag by everyone, and they were killed off. The end.
>>
>>380433478
He's right you know. But /v/ is a board where nobody enforces board culture since there's like none of it anymore, so you won't be shamed for it.
Because there's no consequence you won't be told to fuck off and you'll do alright overall.
When you're wrong you're often told to lurk moar, but nobody has made that statement in /v/ forever.
>>
>>380433763
/v/ used to be fun with creative people and not non-stop shit flinging about the most asinine garbage and the same copy/paste threads every hour. People actually liked to talk about video games instead of the political agendas of the devs.

>tfw /sp/'s Golden age of Memes will never come back

And how many retards actually followed that advice?
>>
>>380433878
Culture's just a term to describe all the shit inherent to a community, good or bad. It's not a matter of intellect in waiting to post, just a small respect for the site you find yourself on.

I'm not gonna reply again because I'm either falling for shit tier bait or talking to someone too up his own ass to consider that there's more to the place than he sees in a glance of the catalog and a few threads. In either case someone who doesn't give a shit about the health of the place and just sees it as his shitposting grounds.

/v/ was always filled with underage, but lately with all the /pol/ spam, you really start to feel it. It just didn't come out so easily. I certainly feel it now.

>>380434049
People don't bother anymore with creativity since reddit, 9gag and knowyourmeme started to come around. reddit especially since certain users are literally paid to create memes all day, since it creates revenue. I can see why /v/ dialed it back quite a lot with creativity since reddit became meme central.
Too bad whats left of /v/ is not really worth taking seriously though.
>>
>>380434295
I would do in the other boards. I don't want to be told to "fuck right back off to /v/" again. You end up lurking for a year after being blown the fuck out with your first post. That stuff makes you a good person.

I always found /pol/ to be one of the best places to get world news and the flag banter is some of the most entertaining shit on this site, but the 2016 election damaged it beyond repair by introducing a flood of edgy normie teenagers to 4chan, and the cancer is spreading to the rest of the site. It was slowly getting worse for a long time but now it's just unbearable.

pretty much the same for me, heard from a friend that /b/ was the most fucked up place on the internet so obviously I needed to check it out. back then there was way more gore and other nasty shit but it didnt really bother me and some of the jokes were amazing, soon a best of 4chan thread popped up and I felt like I was in a museum for abstract art looking at the wonders of autism.

Anon above posted good pasta about normalfags, They truly are the bane of this site, we have to corrupt them and corrupt them faster, or offend them until they leave.

I liked this site because we are offensive. I got tired of politically correct even back when it was weaksauce compared to today. In life growing up I found that the all kids who got bullied or picked on or made fun of were the sensitive ones. Their over-sensitivity made them weak, and made them easy targets. When I got bullied, I simply fought back, I didn't shout and hollar, I didn't sit and complain that world is mean, I became offensive. Bullies left me alone, not because I was strong or good at fighting, but because I didn't feed the trolls. They bully to make you cry, if you feed them a calm collected non crybaby knuckle sandwich instead of bitching or tantruming, they look elsewhere.

We used to call each other shit non-stop here and no body got offended. what happened? When did we start letting pansies in?

And now I can't even post this cuz 4chan is trying to wordfilter me.

Tried in 2016 because the /pol/acks have given this website a reputation akin to the KKK in the eyes of Normalfags and I was afraid a real life friend would find out. Even deleted most of my stuff I got from 4chan. True a lot of people on this site would consider me subhuman for being Hispanic, but god damn I love places lile /v/ and /his/ too much to stay away permanently. Love you faggots to much for that.
>>
>>380427709
I have left 4chan for a while when I got a new job and was busy with other shit but honestly if you are looking for discussion online 4chan is the way to go I think. And as crazy as that sounds being surrounded by insanity, baiting and mentally ill people but at this place the only thing that matters is your honest opinion. You get called out for your shit, you get insulted you get corrected by people that are autistic as fuck and will spend hours to prove you wrong. But you know what in the end all that matters is if YOU think a comment is right or wrong just like in the real world. On forums you get censored, on reddit you get downvoted and on social media you get shamed for different opinions. Atleast on 4chan you can be honest for better or worse.

I just like it when people give it to me straight, when I was fat and I told /fit/ how hard it is to keep my diet and that I cant keep it up you know what they did ? They called me a fat piece of shit and told me I would never make it with that attitude because losing weight was literally the easiest thing in the world and countless people in that thread had done it. A year later I had lost 70lbs and 3y later I am now /fit/.

If I wouldve listened to my family/friends they wouldve told me I look good after the initial 10-20lbs and I wouldve stopped like I did time and time again.

What happened is that /pol/ltards mistook this as sign that 4chan is the promised land, and the reddit exposure of 4chan to the normie brigade has brought them in by the masses. Now you cant say nigger anymore without /pol/ seeing it as sign that they're "winning the good fight"

I'm 24, lurked from 2009 until 2011, although that was mostly because I had other interests at the time and wasn't used to this format, in 2011 I started browsing daily.

I don't regret it, I know most people won't admit it but I learned a lot about vidya here, granted not because the in-depth discussion I got but because there were people usually giving sources and links whenever asked about something, that's how I learned about some old companies from the '80s-'90s and more recent niche as fuck games. In fact now that I think about it, I barely knew a thing or two about the whole industry before browsing /v/.

My earliest memories are the Castlevania threads on /v/ in 2011, is how I got into the series. I remember playing SC4 and Rondo and people giving very good advice in those threads, it was obviously before the /vr/ split.

You don't really need to be browsing this place since 2006 to realize that nowadays is full of newfags and morons that don't get it at all. Everyone who's here before 2014 should realize that quite easily. Early this year there were some threads about how impactful Street Fighter 2 really was in the '90s and the sheer ignorance and retardation there convinced me that I was already in the minority.

Also the recent 'lmao' spam at the end of every post really grind my gears. I don't know why that shit made a comeback.

I came to /b/ around Girugamesh, the red box spam and Boxxy. I left for /v/ after 100M get happened. I'm 23 now, and the reason I'm not a fucking retard is because I lurked for a year before showing myself.

this is interesting because traffic on 4chan grew since then and it means that most oldfags should be still around and they never left
>>
To all the newfriends who are lurking: keep it up, learn the culture of the board before posting. But remember, culture is never set in stone and it's up to you to create a better 4chan for yourselves. Resist the temptations of low effort shitposting and foster discussion. Hopefully it'll be you guys that can finally break the cycles of irony and bring us to a post-ironic utopia, where people only give their genuine opinion and posting for the sake of replies becomes a thing of the past. This is what the old internet was. And though you may cringe today at things like "epic fail" and "you win the internet" know that when it happened, we were being genuine. And I think that's worth every single facepalm that has happened when looking at old posts.
Alas, I know it's just a dream. But I think it's a dream worth fighting for.

Honestly /v/ is my favourite board.

Despite the shitposting, falseflagging, newfags ect you always get those golden threads that make it all worth while like talking to a bunch of anons about an old game you like and they share that enthusiasm or a happening thread.

Someone once made a great analogy that /v/ is like swimming through a sea of shit but it's worth it for the castle with golden shores that the sea of shit can never touch.

Been lurking /v/ off and on since as far as 2007, but I've always had another forum as my main site. And it was only /v/, I was afraid of /b/ when I first joined 4chan.
I only started posting full time when the old LoL forums died and the only option given to us was Reddit and a shittier Reddit knockoff. I was sick of the game at that point and I knew this place exiled MOBAs to /vg/, so it was perfect. Even now I mostly lurk, only posting on MegaTen, Sci;Adv and buyfag threads. I falseflag on Smash threads because fuck'em, but that's about it.

Jokes aside i would recommend 2 months and to be careful with what you say afterwards, each board has its own way of ticking so familiarize yourself with the kinds of threads, the lingo, the injokes and what is considered okay or not to do, avoid asking dumb questions and don't make it obvious that you come from /v/ (a good crossposter knows how to blend in)

If there is a sticky read it, don't make threads until you are absolutely sure you are familiar with the board, if you are going to a slow board learn how to be patient, if you are going to a fast board be careful with shitposting

And of course, lurk as much as you can, its good for you and it helps even when you are already familiar with the board, lurking is what helped me avoid tons of embarrassing moments when i was starting here and I still do it sometimes

I remember that /vg/ did not exist and there were generals in /v/.

2007

/v/ has basically been the exact same since like 2011. the culture stagnated hard after it got popular.

2007 /v/ was a different place than 2009 /v/. but 2012 /v/ is basically the same as 2017 /v/.

The consequences vary from crossposters bringing their garbage here to stagnating the catalog with the same shit over and over, it creates this environment where the only way a thread can survive is either by parroting memes or using clickbait approaches (or both) which makes shitposting even harder to spot and people replying to more and more shitty threads, its bad for ontopic, its bad for offtopic

Nice Reddit spacing, newfag.
Time for a history lesson.
/n/ - News was deleted around the 2008 election season for obvious reasons
/new/ - News was revived and deleted within the span of a year for similar reasons alongside /r9k/.
After this, moot witnessed how the internet was becoming more and more censored. He began to regret the deletions. Note that he explicitly said this. Your "the whole site was being shat up" explanation is pure revisionist history.
Thus /pol/ - Politically Incorrect was born.
It wasn't even a year or two later, long before the Reddit invasions or political campaigns, that leftists were crying to have the board deleted and were told to fuck off by the mods.
