>>389104570
I used to see this all the time on a furry forum i used to frequent.
I'm surprised to see it's still running.
And that I could remember my username and password. Christ this was an embarrassing time of my life.
>>389104160
Holy shit that's ancient

Being emotionally stunted makes you underage.
>>389110564
just call them a manchild then
makes much more sense
>>389104160
One of my fb friends still use it
>>389110651
Fuck off underage faggot.

>>389108975
how long is this wtf
>>389111664
before you could convert movie clips to a webm and put some lazy text over it as a sub, chinese otakus would hand draw pixel movies frame by frame and turn them into .gifs.
it was a golden age of memes and oc, sadly the secret to creating these arcane arts have been lost.
>>389107404

these plus the azumanga daioh shoe toss one were the only ones i was thinking about when i saw this thread
>>389110458
>Mfw when last year i got a mail saying that i was banned from a random forum i registered years ago because my avatar was offensive.
I can almost swear it was this image but now i got no way to confirm.
>>389112308
azumanga daioh gifs were a fucking gold mine.
>>389112458
i knew a cunt on an old forum who was one of the top mods. She. was a giant fucking prude. no cussing, no negativity, no mentioning anything remotely sexual. She was a strictly by the books kind of power tripping no fun allowed mod. she acted all cute and innocent.
her avatar? This cat bitch from wordsworth.
>>389112702
I remember this like it was yesterday
>That one guy that had a quote from another forum user saying something "clever" or insulting someone else.
How do those people even exist.
>>389112673
this used to creep me the hell out when I was younger.
Still does, actually
Seeing all of this shit made me ask myself where my fucking life went.

Did anyone else always watch those RHG stick battles on newgrounds or youtube?
>>389111318
Untrue.
Even so, he mentioned 2003-2006
Making him potentially 16 by even your standards.
i'm really surprised as to how many of these avatars i actually saw back when.
sometimes i miss those times.
what the fuck can the future even hold for me now.
>>389113592
I watched the stick battles onHatena
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl7sK-_GD1Q
>>389113592
>>389113796
xiao xiao was the shit, sfdt was best stick site
>>389113672
Because that was when the gif, which came out at that time, was popular. If you even owned a DSi at the time you would 'memberFlipnote Hatenaand how many people had eevees, and other pokemons as characters.

I saw this everywhere.

>never heard of a DSi on a 2000's character/gif thread
bye
So was the overuse of the same certain avatars back in the day due to the lack of circulation of icons back then compared to now? For those too lazy to make their own at least
>>389110458
I can't find the full one. Someone for nostalgia's sake post the full version of this
>>389114158
Original content just wasn't churned out like it is now. The majority of humans weren't on the internet yet and if they were it was live journal or Myspace. You'd wait eons for your favorite animators or comedy group like pure pwnage to release a video, most of the time with no signal on when it was coming out. It was barbaric in nature but it was a magical time when I think back on it.
That orange fox was everywhere.
>>389113024
"You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you are all the same"
Every. Damn. Time.
That or a quote, usually by entry level metal/rock, such as avenged sevenfold. Wonder if there's still that kid and he puts hopsin or j-cole's quotes.
>>389113592
These were the REAL stick battles:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcTeyLXRSVA
I remember my dad showed me this in like 2000 or something. I thought it was the coolest shit.
>>389108416
It was royality free, ofcourse you would see it everywhere.
>tfw was one of the guys who made the sigs for people in the forums
It was a unique feel
>>389115192
i don't know how anyone ever liked this bullshit.

>>389115268
Thank people who worked back then, that is how it got popular.
When you are working you barely see anything entertaining.
That gif was randomly on all emails.
>>389104858
I used it because it was cute. I am not attracted to animals.

It was also better because everyone was on the same tier of content and "cancer," it's not like now where some websites and cultures are worse than others. Back then, everyone had the same memes and content because it was all that was there.

This thread is severely missing the gif of mario headbanging.
Internet was so much better in the late 90's early 2000's, people were far more pleasant in general because they were amazed by the internet and just happy being on it.
If you browsed any forum you would see tons of helpful, thoughtful and enjoyable posts. Trolls were a minority where as now they are the majority,
Some dude on an old forum I used to browse made this for me. Cant remember if it was a sig or profile pic. Guess you guys can have it

It's not bad but it was overused as fuck
>>389114158
For a lot of people it was a matter of not knowing basic cropping skills. For most of us though it was a lack of webspace. if the forum didn't allow you to upload your own avatar and needed a link, you were basically gonna be leeching from another site.

Don't know why this randomly popped into my head just now.
>>389117137
How? This shit has awful plot and animation doesn't even look good because how dated it is.
>>389117302
I'm not sure i ever ran into this, what do you mean a guy with multiple accounts?
>>389117137
I thought that most 2000 anime were already forgotten, I guess stuff like EF, Lucky Star and Azumanga will always attract young weebs
>>389117003
It usually is. Life is oftentimes so much more fair when we get the opportunity to look back on it.

And they circlejerked in every thread they were in. Also, that kid who posted in 3rd person.
Only forums I frequented were a local forum where you had to choose their own premade pixel art avatars (I chose the Rocky Horror one and everyone treated me like I was openly gay, and most regulars are super conservative), while the other one was a Kingdom of Loathing forum (old free turn based MMO). There I paid in game currency to have drawings of my character that I cropped and used as avatars. I really wish I could find those, I know I had some photobucket account with a couple of them uploaded.

I remember that kids in my class ruthlessly bullied this one girl who wouldn't shut up about it. When I discovered 4chan a couple months later I stopped sympathizing with her.
One theory about anti-anime that I've seen is that they come from the years when Toonami was inactive.
2008 to 2012.
Lets say our dear shitposters were around 8 years old or so for the cancellation.
For the next four years their idea of cartoons is dominated by one of the worst ages of Western animation.
Then they enter the edgy teenage phase and ditch cartoons altogether by the time Toonami comes back.
Add it all up and you've got a fresh wave of underageb& to just barely adult users.
I'll go even further beyond in describing this breed of newfag.
>No real memories or conceptions of anime
>No knowledge of pre-9/11 society either
>Or knowledge of pre-internet society in general.
>Raised on social media and youtube. Unironically follows e-celebrities.
>Addicted to attention points
>Post-9/11 safety box childhood has made them allergic to wild thoughts, labeling such things as "edgy" or "autistic".

I just remember being the youngest admin on there and doing cringey shit but getting to talk to cool people like weev and OldDirtyBtard (damn it's been 7 years since he killed himself).
I remember one of the reasons I resigned as an admin on there back in 2009 was because girlvinyl kept forcing us to work on some stupid SFW version of ED with this really annoying rainbow filter (which we didn't know at the time was a prototype of "oh internet" aka that site that replaced ED out of nowhere). She seemed more concerned about ad revenue and donation drives than making sure we made actually funny articles on there which explains the drop in quality during 2010-2011, I'm glad I jumped ship and the IRC chat before shit got out of hand.
In a way I miss it but I would never want to be a site admin again, wikis are annoying and I prefer to be anonymous at this point.

How did you find 4chan? We've all got stories about that.
I stumbled upon here when browsing creepypasta blogs. One of them had a link to /x/, and the rest is history.
>>389125935
My friend showed it to me around the time that "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" faggot got popular and showed me a thread with people shooping dicks and stuff on him, I was hooked fast.
I think I might have run into it back in 2006 though in 8th grade on accident.
>>389125935
i discovered 4chan from a wikipedia parody website around 2008, but i had it coming because i knew some memes but didn't know where did they came from

That one and this. This was universally true in my life.
>>389125935
Friend from school explained what a meme was and I asked him "where to find them." It was really innocent actually.
>>389122965
There are people who don't browse 4chan with frames?

Fucking hell.
Everything is finally ending. All the old forums I went to, gone. Sites are overrun or desolate. Somehow I even lived to fuckingHiveswapbeing released, and Act 7 even happening.
It truly has been a nice night anons.

They just don't make them like they used to anon. Granted I don't watch a lot of anime so my exposure is probably more limited than most here, but I can't think of any in the last 5 years that had a puppy getting beaten to death by children and then those same children being shredded into ribbons.
>>389125935
when I was in 8th grade in 2008, I had started using memes after seeing them on an image board. I was talking on steam with my sister's boyfriend and he told me "stop using memes outside of /b/. oh wait I'm breaking rules 1 and 2.. whatever" and so I looked up /b/ and it ruined any chances of getting laid throughout highschool
>>389108975
That was pretty neat
>>389125935
Some dude tried to bridge together this /v/ with one from Russian-speaking chan. The thread was quickly deleted, but I still remain.

ChristianU2UBER aka The "Stop calling me a homo" Kid was getting backup from some other underage channel with 'U2UBER' in their name and he made a video where he was 'declaring war on 4chan' or somethin, and like many other retards, I thought it was the name of a hacker or an organisation. Then I looked into it more.

The Nutshack crew.I was a child living in New Mexico when they switched to these cases, which just made me think it was a cultural/location thing until I moved to the Midwest later on

On GameFAQs someone posted pics of the human Dark Magician Girl and mentioned that they couldn't posts the other ones they found on "4chan"

i went from gta loquendos to loquendos to inciclopedia to here
>>389125935
People had talked a lot about it on forums I visited. I think I funneled into it trying to learn about where the memes I was seeing pop up everywhere came from. This was back in like 2007, I think.
I miss forums.

Also when did pic related get made?
I'm thinking 2012 or so.
odd how we get nostalgic over the weirdest things. don't know about all of you but i ended up here and on the internet so much as a kid to escape a bad home life. Even though my personal life is now much better, i still find myself mourning the passing of those old times spent on a computer all night, making stupid jokes and being called a faggot. Always like to listen to this when feeling this way despite, and because of its origins. sorry about the drunk blog post

So which one did you go with anons?
>>389127571
Haha, I always forget the name of this song. Thanks for the impromptu memories, anon. But I do understand what you mean. I was working a fastfood job and stayed up very late when I was on 4chan the most, and I'm reliving that right now by staying up until 4am for no good reason. It's fun, but I'll pay for it tomorrow.
>>389127662
Creepy. As I was typing up that guy up there's response, I was thinking about KS, which I played while I had that job. For me, it's Lilly.

corporations and normalfags started becoming more and more prevelant on the internet, and as such websites started to crack down hard on wrongspeak and copywrite 'violations'.
The web was still young back then, memes as we know them were in their infancy, and most websites didnt police users, unless laws were actually broken. People could do and say whatever they wanted, it was sort of like the wild west in a way.
I miss the simpler times bros ;-;
