2009
While I don't consider myself an oldfag I still remember trollface and "okay" face being poste genuinely here. And thats one hell of a change this site has gone through.I honestly miss memes. The meme output is severely lacking.
>>343813935
I'm an oldfag, but I spent all my time on /b/, /l/, and/c/
I feel like I wasted my youth.
>>343814113
Whatever you say newfriend.
>>343813935
I spent the last nearly twelve years here and it has brought virtually nothing of good to my life whatsoever. I wish I had spent all this time somewhere actually productive instead.

>b-b-but reddit says we own this place now!
I like JRPGs
I remember /l/. I remember when /g/ was /guro/. I remember when /v/ wasn't even a board. I wish I still had all my onld 4chan pics, but alas, they're gone.
I'm not though.
>>343815092

Really wish I backed up my old 4chan folder before I built this pc. Wonder wtf must have been on there.
>>343815092
Are you deluded?
/v/ had next to nothing to do with ToR failing, we were all just jaded and cynical enough to see the writing on the wall.
/v/ has never really made an impact on anything important in the game industry.
PS3 has no games

>>343815574
It didnt?
Sitting around and laughing at it doesnt mean /v/ actually DID anything, besides maybe some negative word of mouth.
ToR was fucked from it's inception, and nothing we could have done would have made it any worse.
I think the first time I really started coming to this board was a bit after the green lex luthor spam.
>>343815705
I started browsing 4chan like 6 months ago and liked the funny memes.
And there's nothing you can do to stop me from being here ;^)

>>343816358
oh fug really?
I was there for boxxy as well.
everything feels like a giant blur.
Remember when posting PS3SUX in spoilers would get you banned.
Or how sonyfag, xbot and nintendrone were insta bans too, or lanced jack, and 599 us dollars shitposting. Or the wii being basically gamecube 1.5, 8.8 and much more.
The first great console wars were fun times
>>343816274
I miss when 4chan had huge internet presence and spawned so much oc and memes.
I guess we don't get that as much any more since one people don't like to admit they come here, two there's no point putting something worth any effort on a site where it's either forgotten or told it's shit when nowadays you can paid for that shit and lastly if you will most likely have it stolen from another site due to how fast the internet is now.

It was fun times. Lots of neo nazism lulz mischief. I had actually come here because I heard there was lots of child porn and it was intriguing as I had never seen anything like that. You wouldn't have to be here very long before seeing it and the reality of it killed the whole intrigue. Stayed for the general idiocy though.

But I'm a filthy 2009 newfag.
Started off in 2007 on /b/ when EFG was winding down, but still had threads going. Then I went to /v/, then /a/, then /vp/ when it came out and finally back to /v/. I still go to /vp/ and /a/ occasionally.
>>343816742
Look up the word reading comprehension. Bad word of mouth=bad publicity
/v/ bitching about a game means next to nothing, because /v/ bitches about anything.
And if you seriously think people complaining about the game here made any kind of difference in it's reception, you're seriously over-estimating how much clout this site has.

I was here in 2005. The place was pure fucking shit and all the memes were autism. all your base, puddi, sleeping pizza man, rofl and lmao being used in real life, noob and pwn heavily gaining usage. Desu.
I hated this fucking site because of the retard tier humor.

The fast boards also became ridiculously fast. Quality OC tends to 404 before enough people notice it and it never catches on. Most of the memes nowadays are just a shitty and easily spammable catchphrase like JUST, WE WUZ KINGS, Alberto Barbossa, HOWEVER etc
And then there's the fact that plenty of newfags firmly believe 4chan is just about shitposting and putting any effort into it is pointless, be it discussion or OC.

I lost everything pre-2007 when I did a full PC upgrade, HDDs and all.
The old PC should still be somewhere in cold storage and its HDD might still be intact though, so I might try to recover it one of these days and see if there's something interesting from late 2003's 4chan on it. Probably full of loli.

First time I came to /v/ was when RIFT was brand new, started up a thread to get some discussion going and put in an inb4 that said something along the lines of butthurt wowfags getting upset over new mmos.

The only proof I have of being an oldfag is that I'm called a newfag constantly because I've long given up on remembering the 500 memes a week you fags come up with.
That said, I started coming to 4chan around the time the pool closed and was on /v/ shortly after.

>>343818310
I'm not autistic enough to count, but pretty much all of them.Though some of them I'd rather forget.
I miss the old days, I miss the feeling of a secret club, that level of infamy that kept the people from reddit away. When /b/ was actually created, when 4chan was the cause of memes and not just regurgitating them. I come to my favourite boards and the atmosphere is completely changed and it makes me hurt inside and I hate it.
I blame Chanology.
I first peeped this site in 2006, same way any kiddo finds it, in a lame-stream media article
I still pop in the major boards sometimes for a quick peek at the... noos
It hasn't changed a bit actually, we have, but the shit of today is no more generic than it ever was
>>343818221
I still call them image macros and people look at me like I'm speaking a different language. I suppose I should stop being autistic, but calling them "memes" the way normalfags do genuinely makes me choke.

I asked this yesterday. Does he still come here or not because I saw 2 konata threads that were poorly constructed bait with a 2008 filename. Was wondering if it's an impostor or that faggot is still going at it.
>people who started browsing 4chan on 2010 are already oldfags
What have i done with my life?
4chan taught me English from scratch, started coming here when I was 12 so around early 2005. I literally couldn't understand a single word being spoken here but I persevered due to the funny animu images and ended up learning the language through osmosis after two arduous years. Started frequenting /x/ when it was born (2007? Maybe it was 2008 I can't remember) but still browsed /v/ and /a/ often enough.
Thank you anons, you guys allowed me to skip asinine compulsory English classes throughout highschool and landed me jobs left and right once I hit 16.
>>343818667
I at least need to find another site to frequent. When 4chan goes down I don't know where else to go.
>>343818061
