>>385597217
Better

>>385597217
same shit, but summerfags instead of sjw.

>>385597217
Slower. I'd say all around it wasn't really any better or worse, just different. The time between then and now has had some really shitty points though. /vg/ was the best idea moot ever had.

You're being sarcastic, right?

No. It was probably his worst. Not only did it ruin /v/, but it had negative impacts on other boards like /a/ and /sp/.

>>385597217
If you look at it now it would be reddit-tier cringeworthy but it was innocent fun like the rest of the internet before normies swarmed and ruined it for everyone.
You have to remember that 4chan is the cradle of current memespeak, so all the insufferable shit you read nowadays on twitter and facebook started out here at some point.

>>385597578
Rage comics originated here, newfriend. As everything else, the rest of the internet ruined them.

JAPAN TIME

>>385597697
I prefer that over what we have now.

All /vg/ did was cater to newfags who couldn't learn how to filter.

>>385597217
Not a single post about Youtube personalities or streamers

Speedruns were unpopular

LPs were awkward and badly edited

Steam had yet to make it impossible to find good games on the storefront

DLC was barely a twinkle in Activision's eye

World of Warcraft was still a novelty surprisingly good at ruining people's lives

FFXI still sucked and EVE was somehow even more boring than it is now

Amateur artists puttered around making macros you would proceed to repost for the next ten years

People excitedly preordered games like retards before Kickstarter revealed people would preorder games that didn't even exist

Not a single goddamn person was concerned about the appearance of women, minorities or alternate sexualities in games

>>385597697
And now look what we have. /vg/ is fucking terrible. All long-term video game discussion goes there to die in a sea of avatarfagging, tripfagging, and off-topic shitposting.

Maybe if you newfags learned how to filter then we would've never needed /vg/.

>>385597217
we could post shit like jade's game and nobody would even blink

If you want to see 4chan memes from 10 years ago just go to Facebook or Reddit.

Donkey Kong bout to bust some moves!

generally the same, but with less usage of the words 'cuck' and 'reddit'

also, a bit less of those "[some year] was 10 years ago" threads

People wouldn't scream "GO BACK TO POL1!!11!"
If you called someone a nigger or said that Sony was shit.

Besides that it was basically no different from the shithole it is now.

>>385598075
The vast majority of generals would be dead or nonexistent if the janitors deleted all off-topic shitposting, avatarfagging and waifuposting

>>385598281
This is your logic:

Generals wouldn't exist without shitposting

Therefore we should move the shitpost threads over to /vg/

so /vg/ can have generals about shitposting

Do you see where this is all falling apart? /vg/ only exists so the mods only have to do "delete thread" moderation, instead of actually going into the threads and doing proper moderation

It was the golden age of console wars. Origin of idort, I don't think I've seen since then the kind of vitriol shit-posting sectarianism of Xbox vs PS3.

PS3 has no games & talladega nights, 8.8, 599,

More memes came out of here than came in here like nowadays.
It was always immature, but it was way less tiresome and malicious than it is now.

>>385597217
People didn't discuss politics as much

"Meme culture" didn't exist on the internet, but memes were still all over 4chan, but they were more of an injoke than what we call memes.

Anontalk spam all over the place (I actually got banned once for making a parody of an anon talk spam post when another anon asked a similar question). But seriously now, remmeber anontalk?

the same but less gay

>>385598510
yea and the op of the league of legends general would just say "new thread". and the pic would be some lol shit with helvetica "new thread" that was typeset pretty well.

>>385597217
Basically what reddit is now.

Early /v/ was better but it has been shit easily since 2009+ at times being much worse than now. Who could miss such fun times like general threads filling front and second page through and through or half the threads being about "board culture" with little to no actual vidya games anywhere in sight

Do you really not remember when /v/ was full of generals? How the fuck could you want to go back to that? /vg/ is a great containment zone for those circlejerking black holes. Meanwhile, long-term recurring threads with actual vidya discussion are stealthily made here all the time and mods tacitly allow them because they understand why /vg/ was made - to quarantine cancer.

/vp/ is good as well for a similar reason because fuck Pokemon General.

>>385597667

>>385598681
>half the threads being about "board culture" with little to no actual vidya games anywhere in sight

2011 was the lowpoint of /v/, I don't care what any newfags says. The first week of 2012 was consequentially the best, Moot hired new mods and they PURGED THE SHIT out of /v/, /b/tard invaders cried bitch tears and left. Then that retarded faggot came here with his "board culture xDDD" and "secondary/tetriary vidya" garbage and it was tainted. It never got nearly as bad as that again though

>>385598753
>Do you really not remember when /v/ was full of generals?
Hello, newfag. At worst /v/ was like 10% generals.

>>385598175
This is true. Going to any general on /vg/ is painful for your eyes.

Gaia Online was the boogeyman instead of reddit, but to a much lesser extent

We had memes that weren't just crying Wojak.
Back then he was feels guy, and more notably Pepe was simply sad frog. They were just typical reaction images anons posted in response to unfortunate events.
I'm not quite sure how those two evolved into modern deities.

That's it.

>>385599015
Speaking of Gaia Online, *action* was severely frowned upon.
This being forgotten is one of the biggest real signs of how many posters are immigrants who don't know shit.

>>385598820
>At worst /v/ was like 10% generals.
right, and I'm the newfag.
Also keep in mind this is before the Catalog integrated into the site, and if you wanted to use one at all you had to go to an external site that hosted one and browse theirs. And if you didn't know about the catalog, well, enjoy scrolling past Pokemon General, Katawa Shoujo General, Starcraft 2 General, over and over again 20 times!

Also, honestly, even if you were right in saying it was only 10% of /v/, that's still way too much. /v/ has always been one of the faster boards on this site and if an entire tenth of its content is cancerous circlejerking generals than they're overdue to be purged. /vg/ was a great step for this reason

>>385598920
/vg/ is a cancerous wasteland because if it weren't a cancerous wasteland, the cancer it contains would be everywhere else. 4chan is not the place for "long-term discussion". "long-term discussion" inevitably becomes circlejerking as a community develops its own injokes and becomes insular, and people (even those who are ostensibly anonymous) gain recognizable identities. This is against the core philosophy behind 4chan and quarantining it into its own containment zone was a smart move.

>>385598939
/v/ has always been mostly bait and console wars ever since 4chan actually got popular. I'd rather have anonymous shitflinging than semi-anonymous shitlfinging with circlejerking /vg/ cancer

>>385598989
Nope, but that mod sounds like a retard to be honest with you

>>385599125
Here's what I understand: /vg/ is fucking cancer and /v/ has only gotten worse since it was made.

There is no defending that useless fucking board. It even killed /sp/ by creating this shitty "general culture"

holy fuck this autist is really bending over backwards to defend generals

>>385597217
I wasn't on /v/ back then but I remember going to other video game forums and, in hindsight, it seems like a lot of the 4chan behavior of the time was leaking into other places, so it was probably a shithole.

Pretty much the same as now with some few exceptions like X boogiemen less frequent, and less whining about certain boards/groups/websites(aka/tv/, and /pol/, and /b/)

Overall nothing has really changed, people will say that old /v/ was great but looking back at it now it would be today cringe if we're being honest, and is no different from now. Then some people will try to say that /v/ hasn't made much Original shit that isn't /v/ musical, which is a damn lie at best.

>>385599165
Why do you even care, mod dicksucer? You already won. /v/ is terrible now and now we have /vg/ which is a glorified discord chatroom.

You won. No need to rub the salt in.

>>385598436
And they don't even do that. There are wow, ff14, tf2 and other generals on/v/ that mods don't delete

>>385599223
Most generals on /vg/ are just people who have nothing more to say about the video game but keep posting for attention. Tripfags, avatarfags, waifufags, characterfags. It's always the same with minimum discussion of the game itself. M&B general is solid though

Anyone who wants /vg/ gone was never actually around before it got implemented.

If you're looking for continuous sprawling ontopic discussion about a single game, fuck off to a message board.

Generals are a fine concept when a game/whatever has just released, or received major news. The problem was their tendancy to stick around way past their expiration date (see KSG), and exist as nothing more than front page flooding junk. /vg/ was made as the perfect containment board for those intractably autistic posters who refused to stop their generals.

there was enough games that people could discover before it became common knowledge that retardation per thread was a one person act most of the time.

More retards screaming about games they haven't played this time around since they've just read all about it here.

Before /v/ learned the word shill, there was plenty of time to get sucked into good threads with full enthusiasm
Now for some reason everyone assumes anyone talking here has a job, and that job is to sit and continue shitposting as always apparently.

Most people posting in this thread were not here 10 years ago. I was. /v/ was unapologetically weeb back then, Yume Nikki, Brawl, Mother 3, Cave Story, and Pokemon were the boards's favorite games. Halo and CoD were despised and threads about them were reported and deleted. Tripfags fucking everywhere, DK being the most infamous. 2D porn was abundant, OC rage comics too. Phoenix Wright and Pokemon roleplay faggotry all over too. People still cared about GETs. Everyone liked and discussed anime, traps were liked and furries banned on sight. The sense of community was a lot stronger somehow.

Honestly though, waifufags are the reason threads/generals often go to shit. They always infect everything with their posts and enable more waifufags which just turns into "X IS CUTE! CUTE" and other shitposting that adds absolutely nothing to the quality of discussion.

Hipsters and emofags everywhere in 2007.

>-No forced feminism
True

>-FBI hadn't taken to heavily influencing content yet due to all the child pornography posting

Oh, I think otherwise. I think the FBI have been lurking even during that time even. Ever thought that other sites that ever posted CP get immediately taken down? 4chan is a hotbed to catching pedos and that's why It's still up even to this day.

>-Slightly less shitty moderation (we didn't have SRS plants at least)
We had corrupt mods. I won't say anything else.

>-Marketing here had only begun (First appeared with Borderlands)
Very true, and everyone was freaking out that a AAA game had memes in it. It's literally everywhere now.

>-Butthurt was filtered among other shit (or was that later I forget)
Yup. Every remember getting banned for "Prove me wrong." bullshit?

>-you were allowed to and encouraged to make memes because reddit, ebaums, and funnyjunk hadn't yet run them into the ground
Yup. /b/ had some good memes, 4chan literally was Memelands without the normies touching them. Until Facebook came around and had social features 4chan slowly started to get exposed, especially after the Scientology shit.

>-Best of all, no fucking captcha.
This site had to implement that.

>also if I remember right sometime during 2006 to 2007 we had forced anon, so no namefags, or tripfags.
No, there was namefags. You put in your email actually.

I feel like overall 4chan wasn't as popular back in the 2007 era of 4chan. I remember when /b/ threads that weren't bumped died in a matter of seconds. I missed the raids as a teenager back then it was fun af. I felt like I was part of this massive sekret community. I'm an adult so I mainly just browse /v/ and others.

I still remember seeing people post this shit and threads being filled with debates about if they were utter cancer, or the oc that was saving 4chan. The answer was cancer.

Rage comics were fine as long as it sticked to the four panels with the final one being the meme face, but the rest being just crudely drawn in paint

Wrong. Most people don't know it, but those faces spawned from the old "MS Paint relationship comics" threads on /b/. The original Rageface was a guy shitting in the toilet and screaming in rage after his turd splashed water on his ass.

Yea, wrong. 4chan used to be a destination for jaded internet users who enjoyed anime. Slowly it has become a destination for people to intentionally be assholes as hard as they can in the effort of being recognized.

I think this has to do with saturation, with such a smaller population, moments full of win became more and more common to the point that it became what modern shitposting is, someone makes a stupid typo and everyone blew up about it. When the board population is in millions moments like this happen every other second. so rather than having more 'fun' we've just become desensitized to it.

Well, it was much more laid back then it is now. I remember my first time browsing it. See, I started coming to 4chan mid 07, early 08 on my fucking PSP back in Middle School. I would mainly browse /u/ and not much else. Accidentally clicked on /v/ ome day, and been here since. You'd still be called a faggot, but people would never freak out over crap like they do now. I still love you though /v/, you are my favorite board.

We talked about jimmies. Whatever happened to that meme anyways.

>Furry porn thread
>Trap porn thread
>Console wars threads, XBOX 360 A SHIT!!!
>Thread(s) about call of duty/halo/gears of war
>Quite a few threads about WoW/Warhammer and their lore
>Runescape, flash games, miniclip shit etc
>Age of empires / WOLOLO
>Meme threads
>Video game music threads

Everything else was just random threads about random shit


New /v/ is pretty trash, it's all paid shilling and shit threads now, /vg/ is where people go to actually talk about games, idk what the fuck this board is anymore

It's just not like t used to be. Gonna hurt to type this but Reddit is better for discussing games these days, shills/idiots get downvoted and naturally filtered out, on new /v/ they thrive.

>>385601346
that is how I remembered it, as demotivators died, >implications started to arise, maybe a coincidence, maybe inversely proportional.

then again people were, in general, more sincere in their posting back then. scrape it up to gaia online, reddit, etc. to trying to 'steal our memes' but it was acceptable to unironically call out WINNAR, but it was already starting to dip, chanology was the death of sincerity on 4chan, more or less.

>>385601847
IDs would be a far simpler solution. Flags aren't needed I agree, we don't need leaf/BR posting outside of /int/

It's because there's no easy middle ground. Post/Poster count can only tell you so much, but flags and IDs would hamper discussion too much.

Less posts that feel like you're being slid
Slower
More porn dumps
Pokemon was around back then
There would often be one game that was flavor of the month that many people started playing and there was one thread on it
There were a couple of things contained to one thread (what would later become generals), but there were so few and the board was slow enough that it didn't matter

>>385601847
IDs allow for self-policing through the community.

Rather have a bunch of people mocking sameposters than having shitty janitors unevenly applying their hamfists.

Or we could remove (You) and force people back into quoting for their responses.

>>385601952
How would it hamper discussion?
It would ward off samefaggotry, or at least make it easier to call out. Aside from someone trying to play 2 sides of the fence, I can't imagine it'd hamper people genuinely discussing a subject. Why would your postcount in a thread matter if you are remaining truth to your opinion?

Then again, this is /v/. I could see a "you posted more than X times so therefore you are Y thing which disqualifies your argument" meme arising.

It can discourage threads with multiple discussions, because whatever you say in one conversation can affect peoples perception/opinion of you in another conversation, allowing them to disregard your argument, whether or not it's a good one.

No way faggot, you're false flagging. 2014-2017 /v/ is gutter trash and whenever /vp/ was created was the Golden Age.

>>385602460
>There was a lot more users back then

flat out incorrect

>and the amount of off-topic garbage being posted and no one could do a thing about it, especially the mods

this was only a problem in 2011

>Moderation now is a lot better and everyone is on-topic.

compared to 2011, not 2007

>2007 /v/ was the worst

clearly you weren't here in 2011 when half the board wasn't even video games

>>385602485
/v/ didn't need it at all because it derailed threads the moment someone got dubs,trips, and quads. Everywhere else was fine especially /tv/ plus /v/ was hit the worst with dubposters

>>385602460
Literally every statement in your post is wrong.

>>385597217
We didn't have the catalogue so instead of every OP being thinly-veiled bait or Twitter screencaps with the same five possible texts people actually made lots of different threads about different subjects and people would browse through the pages and go to threads based on the OP and the visible replies that show where it went.
The catalogue seemed like a great convenience feature when it first came in but the effect it had on the site over time shows it was a massive mistake.

>>385597457
It was a bad idea but moot's worst idea was the forced sage for mods that he added right before he left.

>>385602662
Of all the stupid reddit shitposting I see here this one boggles my mind the most. I've been formatting my posts like this since 2008 to not be an eyesore and all of a sudden these newfags start attacking it. Is this actually how reddit looks?

>>385602670
I never even considered the catalogue having such an effect, but you might be right.
I can't remember the last time I even saw a board's front page.

>>385602460
You're a false flagging new fag trying to act like an old fag

>>385602460
The numbers of posters were very low especially before 2010
>>385602505
No it fucking wasn't
>>385602563
2011 was just because Raids were becoming a fucking rampage on the site, and mods weren't doing shit since so much was happening

>>385602746
Reddit looks far worse.

>>385602756
That shit is not going to work on me, I have no identity here you fucktard. I clearly don't fucking care.

Remember when 4chan was liberal af?

Now it's fucking right-wing. It's crazy.

One of my earlest /v/ memories was the 1000000 GET, which was a Pong image. Everyone said it was epic, and stuff that would be considered cringe by today standards.

/v/ has always been cancer, but it has mutated over the years, specially when new boards are created and big Internet drama happens that end up drawing a lot of new people here. If there's one thing I miss, it's the concept of lurking. I actually didn't post for years because I was afraid of not getting some inside joke or thinking that my post wasn't good enough. LURK MOAR is definitely something I'd love to see back.

Console wars have always been bad, but I think there was more creative OC about it that the endless wojakposting of today.

No, I'm talking about multiple discussions in the same thread.

>>385602463
Maybe not for /pol/, but I could see it happening because of different board cultures. I wouldn't know, since I don't go there. But say hypothetically, you posted a strong, well-reasoned argument, but posted it with an anime reaction image. What's to stop people from calling you a weeb and ignoring all further arguments? You're basically fucked for that thread because of your ID.

I don't think IDs would be absolutely terrible, but I'm just worried that it might adversely affect discussion. And worse still, you can find other ways to samefag if you're dedicated.

>>385602918
It's for teenagers to sound superior to one another. You remember how going to church made you look like a pussy faggot? It's the same thing. If you're squeaky clean you're a plebbit faggot. You have to be edgy to feel cool.

except you're wrong, if you had a get but still had worthwhile post then it would just be

only if you were shitposting or if the thread was already a hive for shitposting did it activate Bateman mode, unless it was a get that was quads or better and even that was a toss up.

>>385597217
Better and a bit slower.

Remember when /v/ used to make fun of Smashfags? Like the Smash community tried so hard to fit in with the Street Fighter players.

>>385602880
4chan was liberal because it was a rebellious phase we all experience because things back then were still conservative, now that society has become too liberal, the new rebellious attitude is to be conservative or be more on the right wing, this will repeat

/v/ used to be bro's with feminism, i remember seeing plenty of threads about female oppression and how we could spread LGBTQ gamer culture in games and civilized discussions about all sorts of things like that . not anymore. i'm guessing it's the huge influx of stromweenies and how big the /pol/ containment board has gotten. /v/ has become the bigoted white conservative christians they used to complain about. What happened?

Atheism discussions are now cringey. It was interesting to talk about in the early-2000's.

You know what replaced it and it's just as cringey? Gender politics. Just wait a few years it'll be as outdated as atheism discussions.

Ever noticed when ring-wingers get doxxed or some shit by Liberals.. That attitude all came from classic 2007 4chan. That mentality came from that.

On reddit, you have to hit enter twice to double space a line.
It's really just shitposting though, the reason reddit does that is because it's an accepted formatting standard in terms of isolating ideas. Just ignore people doing that, because all they are trying to do is derail a thread.

I remember when generals weren't a thing as games like Monster Hunter, S.T.A.L.K.E.R and other popular generals for games weren't out yet and even after they were it wasn't discussed enough to the point where it was a daily occurrence. I was here for when butthurt became wordfiltered and when gaiafags were basically to /a/ what neogaf is to /v/ but back then it was gamefaqs.

When console wars was just shits n' giggles and nothing taken seriously and most anons were in on it and had a good time. When DonkeyKong accidentally all over /v/ and LancedJack triggered anons but turned out to just be a pathetic loser (shocker) that got put in the spotlight by moot and got exposed for the stupid faggot he was.

I'm honestly tired of all the politics/sexuality threads. I've seen too many of them. I've seen way too many posts that look awfully similar to each other and get millions of replies. I'm just tired of seeing the same shit over and over and over again. And those threads always get the most replies while some interesting vidya threads get ignored.

I was always pretty moderate though, I mean when you have political beliefs constantly challenged for a decade it's hard to fall to a far end unless you were already leaning there, and never took an honest attempt to argue it.

A game could come out with a black and or woman in it and we wouldn't have /pol/tards screeching about it for days on end
More OC, MS Paint bros making comics
Much less ironic shitposting e.g. put me in le screencap xD

Console wars were still annoying as fuck though. IDORT was the best thing to come out of them and I'd take it over the umpteen fucking crying wojaks that get regurgitated endlessly. Mods were cunts too.
