What was /v/ like 10 years ago?

like reddit

>>383362004
/vg/ and /vp/ were still here

People weren't afraid of reddit for stealing their memes and getting assblasted about it

>>383362062
/vg/ has no fucking reason to exist

I should be allowed to post any video game thread on ./v/ without being afraid of being banned

The same as now

It was more of the same, except there were a lot of general threads floating around before /vg/ existed.

I wonder where our fellow autistic faggots are that have since stopped coming back to /v/. I wonder how many have died, or who have made something of their lives?

>>383362147
No you dont. Shit was retarded back then, you couldnt post about any 'non main game' or it would go to page 10 faster than it takes to write OP

>>383362260
Fuck off. /vg/ has done nothing but will any real vidya discussion, reducing it down to twitter threads and bait.

>>383362307
Go bitch in /qa/ about /vg/ not like your complaining will do anything

Well everyone wasn't on a phone, so more OC could be made, and without the fear of reddit people didn't worry about posting whatever they wanted.

Everyone blames reddit, and yes, it has some blame, but really the paranoia was way worse. Mobile posting led to worse things, but since so many people came during its prevalence, they don't know. Remember when being b& meant not even being able to browse the site? Shit was scary. Now just easily evade and continue to shit up the site with constant auto correct errors and lack of tools to make content.

As for console wars, shit was the shame, just not as constant at first. It got worse with every year. I blame people trying to turn 4chan into a movement creator, a statement. It either made the users more reactionary and fearful or brought it people who had and never would lurk, so they just reacted without an understanding of the sites nature.

They still liked anime at least.

>>383362178
this

>>383362260
oh no, your console bait threads get pushed of the board in an instant what a loss, the generals here were actually decent, because new people kept dropping in, the generals on /vg/ either quickly died, if the game wasn't that popular or they concentrated the purest and worst of the tripfag cancer making them unbrowsable. So no we have 2 boards about shitposting, one about pokemon porn and one very slow board about old video games, another genius move by moot.

>>383362004
Your picture sums up exactly how shit everything was, fuck 2AB and the niggers from /b/ he brougth.

nothing of value was lost.

We called people gamefaqs instead of reddit.

>>383362147
/vg/ is a containment board for the absolute worst degeneracy of /v/. same with /vp/. /v/ was once a containment board as well, so now you have containments of containments. It's quite sad really.

Fuck off. /vg/ serves no purpose other than to create "NEW" vidya discussion which revolves around SJWs, twitter, and neogaf. It's cancer.

I would gladly welcome back monster hunter general and pokemon threads if it means we returned back to regular vidya discussion.

>>383363176
oh wait, I also remember that there were a gorillion tripfags back then

>>383363074
Because, as proven throughout the history of 4chan, containment boards do not work without effective moderation. That effective moderation is at an all time low. I don't even think the jannies assigned to /v/ play video games. They also let off topic blatant shitposting get to 200+ threads before taking any action. Hell, many even make it to post limit and autosage before they 404 it. Truly pathetic.

>>383362147
fuck off retard, /v/ had 24/7 threads of korean drama (sc2), LoL and every other fucking new game that had a following, it was so bad that people started shitposting the generals and mods had to delete them, so /vg/ was created to contain all those faggots

>>383363362
yeah and now we have 24/7 SJW, twitter screen cap, HAHAHHAHAHA, and reddit threads.

SO MUCH BETTER

>>383363362
Yeah but at least those threads were fucking video games.

Also, to add onto this, effective moderation can only happen if the community allows it as well. Jannies suck, but I would wager reporting is also at an all time low. People come here just to shitpost and collect (you)s

>>383363434
let's not forget youtube "celebrity" threads

Way more shitposting,you weren't able to discuss casual games like Halo or CoD without your thread being shitposted to death i'm not saying that it is bad but still
It was quite slower
Less waifufaggotry
/vr/,/vg/ and /vp/ didn't exist
Full of tripfags
You could post instantly,no need for captcha

>>383362062
I'm so glad that 3/4s of the board isn't the same threads about the same videogames and pokemon anymore.

I mean I wish the hole wasn't plugged with shitposting, proxy arguments and e-celeb drama, but still.

>>383363843
>Way more shitposting
what the fuck are you talking about??
The shitposting in here right now is unbearable compared to 2006/2007, now you can't say ''a'' because retards start trowing shit at you every chance they get, becuase they think that's the board's culture.
I hate what this fucking place has become, and not just /v/, 4chan as a whole.

>>383363843
Also no catalog, I hated changing pages and getting the exact same threads in the fastest boards.

>>383364145
Catalog and Quick Reply are without a doubt my favourite additions to the site.

>>383362004
even more neogaf then it is now

>>383364131
There is a difference between ironic shitposting and people coming into a videoogame thread to sage it to death because they didn't like it.Oh and sage was visible.

>>383364131
Yeah, all these newfags with that "4chan is for shitposting hahaha LOL xDD" attitude. It's disgusting. And Janitors won't do their jobs for shit. Thinking of applying next time they recruit again.

>>383364219

Who's this semen demon?

/v/ was better before /vg/.
/v/ needs people who actually enjoy games and play them enough to defend them so threads don't turn into 'this game is shit/nuh uh' for 300+ posts.
/vg/ needs /v/ to stop generals being massive circlejerks which dissolve into TS/Discord drama

I swear the console war faggots have increased massively in recent years. PC golden age kept the console warriors in check.

People were nicer.

>>383364362
In all seriousness if you think /vg/ is full of people who actually play and enjoy games you need to go there and read some of the faster/more popular threads.

/vg/ is a containment board, this board is filled with underage faggots but the people in /vg/ are subhuman.

>>383364221
Ironic shitposting is the worst kind of shitposting, i would take people saging threads to death because they don't like it over threads filled with cuck and traps posting any day.
And people still shitpost ironically because they think its okay because its ironic.
>>383364257
i don't know how being a janitor works, maybe they still try to do their job, but its just too fucking much shitposting for someone to handle.
I mean if i was a janitor i would be literally hitler, people would hate me, but at the same time i would cleanse the board of any form of shitpost, bait post should be deleted on sight,instead of letting other retards reply to it until the thread gets 500posts of people arguing about stupid shit.

What the fuck is the point of /vr/ anyway? People post retro shit here all the time

>>383364554
I would start with nuking bait/blatant shitpost threads on sight and actually look for report logs for a change. I would actually dedicate like 2 or 3 hours of my time to work in this board's rush hour.

This is too fucking much. The state of this board is unacceptable right now.

>>383364704
True, but we keep the underage and reddit out of here.

Friendly reminder you are required to lurk for 2 years before posting on 4chan.

>>383362004
In terms of shit posting and console war bullshit, basically the same.

The key difference is that old /v/ was a festering den of Nintenbros and old fags because /vp/ and retro containment didn't exist.

The tradeoff is that you now have entry level /pol/tards instead.

you have to be an idiot to think we don't need that.
If you think people shouldn't be banned for shitposting every day just because ''muh freedom of speech'' you're part of the problem.
I agree 4chan shouldn't be strictly moderated, but we have come to the point that we NEED it for the site to be good again.
>>383364802
Yup, that's what i would do too.
>>383364860
Ohh i remember, but it was still bearable,we got rid of that but something worse invaded the site.

Look at /x/ for example, back in 2007 you could spend an entire evening reading interesting shit in there, now it turned into roleplaying central.

This website has never been so strictly moderated as it is now,back then you could have many shitposting threads that reached the bump limit before the mods could do anything,in these days that very rarely happens.

>>383364802
State of the board is better than it was like 3 years ago.

>>383364902
Holy fuck, 10-year old 4chan was modern reddit. That's a hell of a turnaround time.

>>383364480
Its why I believe both boards need each other. /v/ keeps /vg/ in check, /vg/ keeps /v/ in check.

The blunder culture on /v/ could really use some /vg/ goers to stop them spouting bullshit.

CSGO threads on /v/ for example are just people wishing it was dead and making uninformed arguments against it which anyone from /vg/ could debunk.

Meanwhile generals on /vg/ untouched by new visitors windup turning into non vidya meet friends groups which just want drama need /v/ to keep things on topic.

/vr/ here.

Before we had our own board, discussion of anything pre-PS1 was nearly impossible. NO ONE would respond and you'd have to bump your own thread all the time. /vr/ allows for shit like Doom General, RollerCoaster Tycoon General, old school dev stories, pinball discussion, pre-90s PC game discussion, arcade discussion, serious/in-depth discussion of Japanese exclusive games, etc., all of which was difficult to impossible to discuss before /vr/ existed.

And yes, there is an actual demand for and interest in that kind of stuff.

>>383365032
this is accurate

funny to think how different memeing is 11 years later

>>383365197
only mods say this and even they know it's a lie

>>383363540
that's not the only reason why reporting is at an all time low, there's a good chance an anon will get banned when reporting a shit thread, i.e blatant consolewar flamebait. I got banned for reporting a braap thread once, too.

>>383365172
THIS.

THE biggest difference is that the users used to (unofficially) control the site. Now the mods are EXTREMELY STRICT and "board culture" has been outright banned.

>>383365578

fuck off retarded gook cum guzzler

My earliest memories of browsing 4chan was during the Wii reveal in 2005. Phrases and typing behavior that we now consider to be cancerous were more accepted by the posters because they hadn't been ruined by normalfags and cringy faggots who used them outside the internet. People were unironically typing things like "epic win" when they saw some tame meme being a GET.

People were already back then talking about the days when "4chan was good".

>>383369341
/v/ has no sense of humor and neither does /vg/ is my point. they both try, but they both fail

Is there some borwser plug-in that will allow be to view /v/, /vg/, /vp/, and /vr/ as one board?

There were a lot more spambots.

Only about 60% of threads were video game related.

More OC and rare images.

/v/irgins were more open-minded. Not in the not-racist sense, they were still racist, but they talked about a much wider variety of games and didn't break into a sweat whenever an opinion outside the corporate approved mainstream popped up. /v/ isn't quite pic related yet, but it's made big jumps in that direction over the years.

A lot more anime shitposting and obnoxious tripcode users.

User turnover rate wasn't as high, so there was a longer collective memory.

The memes and attempts at being "funny" were still shit.

/v/ prior to ~2011 had way worse lows than it does now, but also somewhat more intelligent actual discussion. But there's also been a huge shift in internet culture as a whole, such things were never going to last.

Those were dark times.

There wasn't a captcha and were constantly bombarded by bots shitting up every board,
They would spam so fucking hard that every thread would 404.
Also, you had to put noko in the email field to automatically bring you back to the thread you were posting in.
I remember a lot more tripfags running around as well.
Maybe its because I filtered them all out.

The most apparent thing is that memes were cycled out relatively quickly. Today's faggots are too fucking stupid to create OC, so we keep getting recycled wojacks and pepe.

>>383372019
Pretty much
The ironic intention loops right back around to being genuine stupidity.

>>383372041
And a great way to ruin good threads. Shit was annoying.

The problem with dubs is that people went way overboard with them, to the point where any thread was at risk of dubs derailment, and people used to make threads just for getting dubs.

fuck video games amirite?

What killed all discussion on 4chan was strawmen.

If someone says something you don't like, you can call them reddit, /pol/, tumblr, SJW, antiSJW, /r9k/, neogaf, ameriburger, eurofag, facebook, mobileposter, nu-/v/, neo-/v/, /lgbt/, /vg/, gaia, neopets, /mlp/ etc etc etc

And instantly all discussion is dropped, because then the debate is "I'm not [strawman] - you are"
>boy what a [strawman] thing to say
>only [strawman] likes thing you like
>only [strawman] don't like thing
>you sound awfully [strawman] when you say that
>I can tell from how you use full stops and question marks that you are from [strawplace]
>how would you know that if you didn't go to [strawplace]
>hello [strawman]!

And the SJW/antiSJW shitflinging is even worse. Threads here constantly reach their limit without anyone having said anything, just throwing these worthless strawmen at each other. And it's only gotten worse every year for the past 5 years. It will never stop.

>the entire Internet feels more political and serious business
true, normies have gotten more internet access and hence /pol/ exists. We're both right though, /pol/ is a blight on /v/ and if it weren't for normies on the internet, /pol/ wouldn't have to be created as a containment board

>>383372218
It's better if they think that way, makes them stay on here

There are good threads, they're just fewer

>>383371954
I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone but when I for one complain about /pol/ I mean bringing politics in general to /v/ rather than actual people from the board /pol/ coming here but since there's a ton of overlap it is basically the same complaint.

Both the alt right and the SJWs can fuck right off. Whenever something, anything is done in terms of game design people will be shouting WHO DID THIS WHAT A DISGUSTING AGENDA IT HAS TO BE A POLITICAL STATEMENT AND NOT JUST A DESIGN CHOICE REE.

>GUIS THIS GUY MADE A JOKE ABOUT TRANSSEXUALS HE'S /OURGUY/ LET'S SUPPORT HIM AND BUY HIS GAME HE CLEARLY ALSO WANTS TO MASSACRE THE DEGENERATES! WHITE POWER!

>OH MY GOD THIS PERSON MADE A FUN JOKE AT SOMEONE'S EXPENSE WHO IS NOT A CIS WHITE MALE HOW DARE THEY LET'S NOT SUPPORT THIS I HOPE IT FAILS LET'S ALL BOMBARD STEAM WITH ANGRY MESSAGES UNTIL THEY TAKE DOWN HIS GAME! I HOPE HE DIES!

Literally the same retards with a different ideal.

>>383372041
Not really.
Some fuckhead would always come in and slam down a checkem_bateman.jpg when some random post got dubs. Context wasn't considered, it was just
>CHECK THEM DUBS DISREGARD THAT 1 OUT OF 10 POSTS GETS IT.

This, all this identity politics stuff is annoying. Both groups get really paranoid and look way too deep into stuff.

>>383372509
What? Did I trigger some PTSD or something?

Some games you used to be able to talk about.

Metroid pre-Other M and AC fag
Resident Evil before RE5
Megaman before Zero ended
Dark Souls before it went PC
Devil May Cry before DmC

It weren't just that 4chan changed, it was the some of the series we loved changed too. You could talk about certain games before something happened to change the series and ruin /v/ threads. Monster Hunter doesn't get threads these days. It gets consolewar shitposts.

>>383372567
Thanks, doc.

>>383372615
You can still talk about RE and DMC easy.

Hell, the only obstruction to talking about DMC is someone coming in to claim that Ninja Gaiden is better, like you can't like both or something.

Do you remember, anon?

>>383372194
reddit is a problem because they started stealing oc and claiming it as their own for reddit points. yurocancer is also a legitimate problem because they invaded in 2010 and are literally incapable of understanding what freedom is and everyone must follow the rules at all time

Is it just me, or does it feel like /v/ has lost its identity? What I mean is that there isn't really anything that feels exclusively "/v/" anymore, while in the past there was stuff like "Lost control of my life", that Galo Sengen song, etc.

I remember the anon's summary of the game.

It's like whatever happened to not giving a shit? Not just on /v/ but on the entire internet you are expected to react with maximum emotional investment to everything you see.

Depends on how you look at tripfags. Back in the day there were a shitton more trolls like Barneyfag hitting every thread that was not about their console of choice.

I just wanted to escape from my shitty life and mean people via vidya and internets but I ended up in the exact same spot.
Why do you need the feel to be a mean asshole in a place where only judgment is your posts?
Why can't we just get along and enjoy our companionship?
Is it some kind of sickness if you want to be friends with people?
