Lost isn't bullshit, pleb.

It really was an odd thing to be a part of. Almost impossible to explain to anyone who didn't live it. But it was some of the happiest moments in my life. And my life hasn't been depressing, /tv/ really was that good.
>>63330046
There were less shills back then, thats why it was so great. Now there are automated threads in every board.
Also newfags yes.
>>63330137
There were always newfags. There will always be newfags. The difference was that the OC outweighed it all.
OMG Lost was so slow paced. That show sucked.

lol totally bro, except /tv/ didn't exist until April 2006

Reddit awaits.
>>63330137
4chan as a whole was different back then.
Back then, people entered via /b/. as they grow tired with it, they then branch to other interest boards like /tv/, /sp/, /v/ (though sometimes /v/ is an entry board as well), /x/ etc. They then learn the board's culture and adapt to it.
Enter 2011, GoT was born. Reddit then started linking their threads to the GoT live threads and generals. Tumblr and fb shitters also started linking to the generals as well. What you've got now are a bunch of newfags, posting shit and learning memes without trying to learn the board culture of the board that they posted into. This cancer eventually spread out to other boards. Also, let's not forget the Dr. Who and Hannibal tumblrfags as well

the fan theories were awesome; way better than how season 6 ended up.
>>63332497
The fan theories were all way worse. Geeks are not the lords of good writing they think they are.

What is Game of Thrones?
>>63329901
I still get to do this with /co/ for about 5 different shows. Jokes on you. Get less patrician taste.
I wasnt there sadly. How was the thread of the last episode? bet there was a lot of angry anons
/tv/ didn't exist in 2004. It's a fairly "new" board.
>>63333323
It was 50/50 split. A lot of people thought the ending worked emotionally, a lot were unsatisfied with unanswered questions, and then a lot of back and forth over what and what wasn't actually answered, which split opinions even more. So, basically the same response it got everywhere.
>>63330159
The thing is, in 2004 when 4chan was still small so was the population of newfags. And the ones who posted wasn't entertained by the regulers but was either ignored or just told to lurk more.
Since 2007 or so the newfag to OC/discussion ratio got warped due to the site not being able to handle the influx of new users and 4chan has never been the same since. Now it's just a bleak almost parody-like shadow of its former self.
