Since /fit/ is often called "the exiting board of 4chan," I thought to propose this question to you all:
Has 4chan changed your life in any way? If it did, was it a positive or negative change?
For me, I have no idea what I'd be if I never came across this site. Even though it sounds weird, this site is the reason I became /fit/ and a more nicer/sociable guy in general. It feels strange looking back at my first visit to /b/, not knowing the changes that would take place in the following years. So I guess it's been mostly positive for me.

sure u did fgt

>/fit/ is often called "the exiting board of 4chan,"
By who?
You're here forever, the only boards that doesn't apply to are normie ones like /co/ and /mu/
>exiting board
motherfucker i have been stuck here since 2008
>Since /fit/ is often called "the exiting board of 4chan,"
ive never heard this once
>>35241959
You, I like you...
I got married and just witnessed the birth of my first child.
I'm still here.
You never leave fit. I've been 4chan for 10 years and fit for 7
Has it changed my life? Yeah prob made me funnier? I dno. It's OK. I've only been bodybuilding for just over a year now atleast 3 years to go.
But im6'6 and will look godly when I'm fuller. I learnt no matter how good you are you will never be able to dodge the criticism this place has lmfao so u learn to use it as fuel

>mfw been in this shithole for 7 years and dream about being able to leave
this website helped open my eyes to a lot of bullshit and bigotry that still plagues our society
>>35241959
To describe something as "often called" doesnt that mean it has to be said more than the one time it was said in this thread for the first time ever?
I'd say for the better because of all the dank memes
maymays, better friendship with non normies, a lot of laughs here and there, overcome some mild depression, joined a gym 4 months ago, half way through 2pl8 bench, it's better than before I assure you, and half of this is because of /fit/.
>>35242293
>half way through 2pl8 bench
So you're at 1pl8?
>>35242293
What does half way through 2pl8 even mean? You're literally mid rep as you post this? You're at 1pl8?

Overwhelmingly negative. Literally the only positive thing it teaches you is to not take the internet seriously, I wonder if I had never been here if I would read stupid clickbait articles and slideshows.
The internet Chess Club used to track how long you were logged in and kept a running tab of "Per Cent of Life spent on ICC" . Made me quit that club. If 4chan had such a function I would no doubt off myself

Been here since 8th grade.
Now I'm 21. Not sure if I'll ever completely leave imageboards.
Easy way to see what's going on in the world and to discuss things.

Most of 4chan was terrible for me, I spent a lot of time being a miserable faggot on /r9k/, I was never really the delusional "all women are whores" type, but it kept me in a bad space for a long time, helped reinforce the thoughts I often had.
But /fit/ helped a lot, just reading different threads about how to get over bad stuff in life, as well as lifting obviously. Just helped me gain some self confidence, or at least confidence in who I was and what I was doing.
Still not made it, got about 20-40lbs to go still, but I no longer obsess over my ex, I don't suffer from psychotic symptoms anymore, went from 6' 130lbs to now about 165lbs, and I won a scholarship from a local law firm just the other day, which I couldn't even dream of doing a year ago.
Don't think I'm leaving anytime soon, but I'm working on it, and I'm more successful in the rest of my life at least.
>>35242888
nice blog
>>35242900
Just responding to the op, memelord.
>>35241987
Thinking /co/ is normie:
>adult men arguing over cartoons
>cartoon generals so bad /trash/ was created to contain them
>threads discussing if cartoon characters are lesbian
>actual arguments derived from characters turning into lesbians/trannies
>webcomics written by lonely losers homeboard
>board infected by SJW's/Tumblr-tards
>SFW so storytiming comics that have one boob scene are removed (fostering the creation of the clusterfuck board /aco/)
>>35241959
4chan was positive for me for maybe a span of 1-2 years. You go through a period roaming /b/ and the porn boards when you first start. Slowly you move to boards that have actual useful information like /fit/, /mu/, /ck/, /out/ etc. However, after awhile you suck out all the good information to the point that the content you see is simply recycled over and over again. The board content starts getting stale and you begin getting annoyed by the entrance of all the newfags and memelords.
Moot himself said the golden era of 4chan was 2007 to 2009 and that the site has gotten so large/well-known that post quality has deteriorated.
I come here for entertainment and to laugh at people that think being tall makes up for being ugly or fat.
lanklets, when will you learn?
>>35243034
>Manlet: the post
>>35243088
if I was poor or ugly like yourself I might care what someone like you thinks. you're probably some poor slav from europe or something. or from a shitty part of america.
fortunately I dont, but thanks. I got size where it actually matters anyway.
It didn't change my life. But I am thankful to people who gave me straight up honest opinion and /fit/ trips sharing wisdom here. I was able to pick up their tricks and a bits of their secrets about lifting when I was severely underweight from having eating disorder. Routine that I'm doing now is the one that Lotus made me, it's a split specifically made for my weak body parts, I was able to balance out most of my lacking parts, I'm still growing and I was able to hit 140lbs bulking goal weight. Fat ppl story (now hate) gave a good chuckle when I was bored, getting motivated looking through CBT, making me realize that there are people who has similar ambitions and characteristics like mine. I might stay here just a bit longer.
>>35241959
Meh it's something to do when I should be working.
I guess /fit/ helped reinforce my healthy habits. I found the site a few years back when I started lifting and it helped me stay interested with some good info, and also moments of random shit so brilliantly retarded that you'd only find it on 4Chan.
>>35241959
/fit/ made me go deeper into 4chan, i'm probably gonna be here for life tbqh

Height? So why are you dissing lanklets?
>>35243192
Cool can you please leave now you roiding gook?
>>35242624
pls go
>>35242706
Fuck you too.
>i mostly lurked /g/ and kept fucking my computer till I learned how to install Linux correctly
God I was retarded.
>>35243316
No way man, I'm gonna keep making gains while you don't lanket
>>35243347
Wait, how many tries did it take you to install Linux?
Did you not start with Ubuntu or Mint?
I use this board as motivation
cause far too many people talk shit: I want to be better than these people. not just to spite them, but for myself.
every single person talking shit is probably a fat fuck who doesnt even lift. well fuck them, im not going to let their negativity drag me down.
I've been coming to this site on and off for 10 years. Discovered this site when I was 12, thought /b/ was hilarious and edgy. Migrated to /sp/ for a while, spent a few years on the drug chan when I was addicted to dope/drugs, then to /fit/ and /mu/, which are the only boards I go on anymore.
Really, /fit/ and Zyzz are the reasons I started lifting, so that's positive. /b/ fucked me up at an early age, but it never affected my outside life. Still, it made me realize how fucked up anonymity can make me. /mu/ helps me discover new music. All have made me proficient in shitposting.
By 4chan standards I'm a normie, but I've spent way too much time on this site.
started off in r9k bitching about girls
now im in fit, in great shape, not giving a shit what girls think...no homo.
I mean, why should my entire focus be girls? i'd rather enjoy my life than worry so much about sticking my dick in a hole. there is just so much more to life than that.
Started on /v/ and then moved to /mu/ and /a/.
Past few years I still sometimes go to /mu/ (it's shit) but I regularly visit /fit/ and /out/.
What it really has helped me with is banter and writing.
In uni when I had to write papers I would just write my stream of consciousness down and just slightly edit it afterwards.
It would take me literally half an hour to write 5 pages and I would always ace everything, professors always said I had a lot of personality and voice in my writing.
I've always loved the fact that the voice they heard was my 4chan shitposting.
>>35243723
>I've always loved the fact that the voice they heard was my 4chan shitposting.
I do exactly the same thing, literally just having a big vocabulary and a sense of how the English language is constructed is enough to make nonsensical shitposting into an A worthy paper.
>>35241987
/Mu/ has literal autism in every thread. I'd say the only normal board would be /wg/ to be honest with you family.
>>35243382
I got Ubuntu easily. Then immediately wanted to try debian net install, arch, and gentoo.
This was when I was super illiterate but I got it eventually.
>>35243785
Gotta say, glad I never went deeper than Debian myself.
The only things I have to build from source are github hostings.
/fit/ is the only board I can stomach visiting here anymore. And only in bursts at a time.
Not the biggest success story in history, but this place gave me the confidence (and physique, even though it's mostly cardio) to finally go and become a cop... I also found my wife (a pretty normalfag girlI would've never approached years ago) and now I have a beautiful daughter.
Breaddy good, all things considered.
>>35242680

Pros:

>Can't take a little manlet banter
nice insecurities
Literally discovered 4chins by accident. Was looking up robots then saw robot9000 and gave it a click.
I lurked and read and laughed at these pathetic stories of losers. It was so funny reading them. I told my friend and we both started reading them and dying. This was like 7 or 8 years ago now damn.
Eventually found /g/ when I was into computer hardware and then /sp/ for sports. /fa/ got me fashion conscious and here I am now on /fit/. I think this is my final board.
>>35244619
Also, 4chin really gave me some internet smarts. It gave me a kind of critical thinking skill that "normies" don't have. I'm normie as fuck though. Fuck bitches and party all the time.
The only think /FiT\ makes you become is a fAgGoT. Take it from me, a flaming one :^)
>>35243297
Everyone is a faggot, even you (especially you). No worries :^)
It's been a really chill mornin' brehs
I'm going to have to head out and do the things I need to
Just know I love you, /fit/
I wouldn't be the man I am today without you
n-no homo

babby's first babby
i think it's taught me that no matter what, there will always be someone weirder, more inept, and more fucked up than you think. so anything you do, on a scale of 1-/b/, probably isn't that bad.
either way, it can't be that horrible because ive been on this shithole of a website on and off for the last 5 years.
>>35241959
I discovered 4chan in 2006, when I was in 7th grade. Terrifying to think it'll be a decade soon. This site pretty much shaped my adolescence. I was the weird quiet kid with no friends, and this site definitely contributed to those qualities. But I had a ton of fun shitposting on /b/ with my anonymous internet friends.
I've gotten progressively more normal over the years, but 4chan has been more or less a constant in my life. I don't enjoy the site nearly as much now. I've just stayed because I haven't found another internet community I like more than 4chan.
I started getting into /fit/ just recently. Lifting for about 4 months now, and I'm hooked. Maybe this site will finally make me more normal.
>>35243723
>>35243747
This is basically how I passed all of my high school English examinations with flying colours.
Wish me luck in Uni.
>>35241987
>/co/
literally tumblr 2.0
>/mu/
even worse
>>35244909
/mu/ is just as retarded now as it was back then. Just in a different direction.
Every time I leave /fit/ I stop lifting shortly after.
Seeing a constant stream of physically fit human beings every day tricks me into thinking I'm substandard. It's very good.
The discussion is shit though. When did FPS turn into you rage you lose? What happened to motivation threads? Why are feels threads allowed again? Why is everyone pretending to be straight?

>"the exiting board of 4chan,"
fuck no nigga you know nothing about /fit/.
/fit/ dosnt make people leave 4chan it only makes them lift get fit and talk about zyzz\scooby\ miring dudes .
/fit/ is a halfway house between /b/ and /hm/.
