2010 t︃b

2007

Though I don't feel special since it seems like there was a massive influx of users that year.

I still dont know why.

2012 if i recall it right

Twenty Eleven

Around 2008. I was horribly underaged and didn't get to browsing boards other than /b/ until about 2011.

>>650
because of mudkipz and raids

>>633

Early 2010.

2004. Check the filename against Unix Time.

I remember /v/ being absolutely flooded with Mass Effect 2 waifufagging. So whatever year that was.

Early 2014.

I honestly can't remember.

It was definitely sometime in 2008-2011, but it may have been a little earlier, when I was a NSider Forum kiddie and looking for new places to browse.

Certainly, though, I was a bonafide fa/tv/irgin by the end of 2011, so I'll take my 5 Year Veteran badge.

2009 I guess, my danish friend told me how to bypass the country block at the time.

>>562
I'm not even sure, but I think mid 2007. I was fascinated, way underage and not quite bilingual so I spent months just lurking.

2007

>>562
Forgot exactly when did I come to 4chan but I only started replying in thread in 2014. Couldn't make a post without a pass here.

2006. Very first thing I did was to go /l/ to ask for the sauce on a Ace Attorney Mia/Pearl doujin I found.

I was only 12 year old at the time. Fuck, 4chan's been with me for 10 years.

Also it turned out to be a futa doujin

>>562
Late 2008. Mostly /b/ and /x/. Cat memes were still unironically funny.

Around 2010 I went away for a long time though and I didn't really post again until a year ago.

>>562
I learned about 4chan around 2006 and occasionally visited out of morbid interest
I didn't start visiting regularly until 2009
I started on /co/ but left because of the new SJW mods who spoiled any and all fun
then I tooled around on /v/ for a while and stopped lurking for about a year
came back when /pol/ was created and I've been hanging around ever since

>>706
I don't think since4pass works on this board.

Remember how ugly the front page was about a decade ago? First time I came to the site I thought I came to the wrong place.

A lot of oldfags see 4chan Pass as heresy.

I started browsing in 2007 and got the 4chan pass as soon as it got implemented.

>>963
2008

>>978
Yeah, I really didn't post for like a year and a half. Maybe a dozen total posts in the first 18 months I browsed.

Late 2009, from /a/.

2007, but it only became the majority of my free time in late 2008.

>>633
Read the FAQ.

>>981
Personally I see the clover capcodes as pretty fucking bad, but having a pass itself is fine. I use it enough that skipping the captchas is totally worth $20 per year.

Member EFG?

Late 2004 or early 2005. Bought a pass two days ago in the fear of 4chan actually dying. Would have donated during the "Donate or Die" donation drive back in the day, but I wasn't old enough to own a credit card.

>>1057

>>981
I only got mine around 2014 because I was in the army away from my desktop and since they banned camera phones I had to post on a shitty Huawei G330 that could barely handle captchas. Then I kind of recently renewed because I was posting a LP on /vp/ of a fangame, and it was fucking impossible to queue tons of posts with captcha like I did with a previous LP with my pass.

Still, I really can't imagine life without 4chan now, so I'm willing to shell out shekels if needed. It's not much for what I get from here, and it all started with trying to find loli hentai as a kid

How'd you guys find 4chan anyway, and why/what were the first things you did when you came?

>>1098
I like to think of it as a "bait badge".

i believe fall of 2006, but i only started posting about a year later. i lurked for a looong time.

A tripcode carries a very unique identity, one which can be traced through archives and whatnot, while the clover does not.

2008
Math tutor would lurk /b/ while I did homework and would show me the shit he was looking at once in a while.

>>1157
Will /vip/ be a good board for dubs?

>>1113
People can filter you that way, and the most you'll get is someone throwing that irrelevant tripcode copypasta in your direction. Tripfagging isn't fun anymore.

Only started daily browsing in 2009

You can filter a trip since in general only one person uses one trip at a time, filter since4pass users and you'll be filtering a lot of potentially decent discussion.

I found 4chan because one of my friends from high school told me about it. I went to /b/ first.

I say friend, but it's not like he actually liked me.

March of 2008

Anybody who bought a 4chan pass is a fucking retard.

No, because only a tool would post with the clover on, after this initial novelty period is over.

Talking to people from 4chan on 4chan is usually alright.

Talking to them in person is often awkward or one person finds the other insufferable.

There's a reason why we're on here and not on other traditional social media sites.

Anyway, only ever actually came here in early 2010, too busy shitposting on a forum before then.

Late 2006, I browsed /b/ and /v/. I quickly grew tired of /b/ but mainly stuck around for the drawhores.

Hmm... I was still in high school...
2005 or 2006. But I KNEW about 4chan back when it was new, early 2004. I visited once or twice, but to my middle schooler mind the site format was too unconducive for casual browsing. I can't remember why I went back later.
I left /b/ in 2006 or 2007 and migrated to /co/. It was about halfway through Avatar season 2. I was curious who Toph was, and why /b/ was so obsessed with porn of her.

like 2008 didn't like it came back two years later still didn't like it but started hanging out and never left after that

Before that I stumbled on 5chan of all things (back when that existed) through a HentaiKey affiliate list. Must have been what, 2004? Didn't know what the fuck I was looking at.

2006 habbo raid summerfag here

>>963
The number of actual oldfags around is a pretty tiny percent of the population. Most people who claim to be aren't.

>>4584
what do you consider an oldfag?
is it based on the number of years you've been here or the year that you came hear?

I came here in 08 which means I have been here for more than half of 4chan's lifetime but I wasnt hear in the very beginning so am I an eternal newfag?

>>4584
It's probably pretty high among pass users though. I mean, we're probably all in our late 20s or early 30s by now, we're established and settled down, have jobs so we can easily afford to spend 20 bucks on convenience. The later the year you joined is, the bigger the chances you can't afford a pass.

>>562
2009 reporting

>>4690
I'm '08 and I don't consider myself a real oldfag. Obviously the original meaning of these words is stretched pretty thin with all the years that have passed. I generally put oldfag at '06 and earlier, newfag at '10 (maybe '12 if we're being generous) and later. Those of us in between are just garden variety fags I suppose. But that's just me, it's not like there's a dictionary for this shit.

I came in 2009. I was one of the first spidermen.

>>4944
early 2007 here. i'm still steadfastly of the opinion that *nobody* is an oldfag. the basic idea of the concept is that everyone's always a newfag. oldfags are the people who joined long before you - regardless of when you joined. if anything, moot is the only oldfag who ever existed.

i still call myself a newfag and find nothing to it. i don't even want it to change.

I remember /l/. Exact date is vague, but that makes it mid to late 2004, if a timeline's to be believed. Seem to remember I went to 7's /l/ board for a bit.

2008

I fucked around in /b/ before that but 2008 is really when I started posting regularly

2011 or 2012

i think roughly 2009ish?
i remember being on /mu/ when MBDTF came out so there's that

Late 06, didn't really leave /b/ for a little while.

>>562
Truthfully 2006 and yes, I understand that's nothing to brag about. I'm 31 now and I'm still here.

Started browsing in 2011 in Freshman year of high school

Already far too long, but I'm at least thankful that I hadn't discovered this place sooner than I did. I'm glad I wasn't steeped in autism for at least part of my life

>>562
Around 2007 when I was 12? My friend showed me his /b/ folder. Things only went downhill from there. This site has been good to me, but also really rough. Sometimes I feel like I completely missed out on my teenage years because I spent so much time on here. I was practically raised here.

Technically I first stumbled onto 4chan in like 2008, but I didn't really understand what I was seeing so I didn't stick around. 2011 is when I started actually browsing/posting.

2005, back when I was 14. That was when I lost control of my life.

>>562
Starting browsing /g/ in 2009 based on my earliest available screenshots. This means I was browsing /x/ in 2008, and /b/ probably in 2007-2008.

T-That's the best I can give you OP. Do I pass?

Weren't we all?

Back in like 2006-2008 my friend would tell me that I should visit 4chan /b/ and each time I would see a dick and avoid the site for months.

Then in 2009 as I was getting into anime, I eventually found /a/ and started posting.

But due to various bans on my college's IP, I didn't visit regularly until 2011

2013-2014. I started browsing/posting seriously in 2014 though.

It was on the bloater I think, plus everywhere in /qa/.

>>6737
I guess I need to venture outside of /a/ and /vg/ more often. I don't think I've seen the front page in years.

>>6748
The board list? If you haven't seen it since moot's Q&A, it's changed a bit.

>>662

browsing 2006 , Thought I started actively posting in 2008.

Started posting in high school so it would have been sometime in 2004 at the latest.

kind of crazy its already been 3 years

I initially only went on /b/ because edgy highschooler, but after a couple of months it got really boring and repetitive, only porn threads etc. After that I went on /vg/ for /d2g/ for about a year and now I browse mostly /sci/, some /tv/ and /v/ and occasionally troll /pol/ by posting anything remotely liberal.

>>6873
edgy friend talked about it a lot

2013

I was well aware of 4chan's existence long before, but was dumb and just kinda thought the entire site was like /b/.

>>7042
The thing I dislike about posting with an identity anywhere else is that folks judge you on your post count. I'm the type of person who doesn't have much to say a lot of time so anywhere else my lack of shitposting would make me look like an amateur. With anonymity everyone else has equal consideration.

2006 when I was 14.

2004 I think. I had a weeb roomie from Bangladesh who lived in a heap of filth but always knew where to download the latest stuff. I wanted to find Evangelion wallpapers and he showed me /w/. Browsed off and on for years. I remember coming back from a deployment and wondering where the hell /r9k/ was. Then it came back and I understood why it was deleted...

The day Jessi Slaughter was on Good Morning America.

2008. I remember when /r9k/ was actually good.

>>8149
what was /r9k/ like before it got taken over by angry virgin NEETs?

Around 2009 or so, along with the thunderdome at another chan that is apparently still spamfiltered despite being dead for several years

>>7875
>judge you on your post count

And your join date. They're already doing it here to people that bought a pass in 2016.

2005.

>>8170
Deep discussion about random topics, what the robot was designed for. We all called each other "gentlemen". I don't know how the ronery sadfrog shit started because I took a break and came back to the horror.

>>8194
The since4pass isn't forced here though, is it?

>>8194
Which is more proof why anonymity is a good thing for us.

What I've always loved about 4chan is that any form of identification is stricly optional. Heck, I wouldn't even mind account-based forums as long as I can post anonymously a well.

4chan has ‘since4pass’, tripfagging etc. as well, but the difference is that it's entirely optional. Let's pray in peace that it never stays that way

(also, tripcodes being available actually makes it easier to filter complete cancer)

>>8245
No it's not

2010, around the time of jessi slaughter.

>>562
April 2013

>>8194
I'll admit that I only just recently bought a pass. It really isn't such a huge financial drain considering how much time I spend here, even with my low rate of posting it's totally worth it.

Late 2010

>>8257
I don't see it ever becoming an issue outside of a certain board, but thankfully the anonymizer feature in 4chan X that I already used to neutralize tripfags (to a certain extent) removes the Pass icon as well.

>>8308
It's completely fine anon. I like people who read more than they post, it's much better than the opposite.

At the end of the day, I think that's what makes up the community of pass users, though - those who spend so much time here that the financial investment is basically zero.

>>8308
I don't care about everything else, but the amount of time I've saved not dealing with captcha must make the cost ratio insanely small. I'm not sure how useful the lowered cooldown will but, but nice to be able to switch between threads and not wait around.

>>7875
I don't really like having a persistent persons to be judged by either.

>>562
Probably around 2005. it was before Fate Stay Night aired, and I remember Mai Otome was an early show I watched.

>>963
Anyone after 2007 is a newfag, so you can imagine how small that population is.

>>8186
The spam filter never forgets.

Depends on the board speed, really. On the more active threads I've been participating in recently, it really helps

Junior year of high school. Some time during winter break before Christmas in 2005. I had been hearing about 4chan since about the day it was created, but some how I never thought of actually going to the web site until a friend showed it to me.

>mfw I first saw it

2008 it made me me

>>9365
It made all of us who we are. We're a single big family.

I'm not even sure I can form meaningful social interactions with non-4channers anymore. The culture clash has been getting pretty strong.
