I wish this would come back more. Now it's just "LOL CALL THIS NUMBER GUYIZ" or some burthurt sexually disfunctional autist trying to get us to facebook his underage crush.

Pretty much this. This place also used to feel kind of isolated and unique, but now there are so many other sites that have the same content cycling through them.

>>565492794

2006 reporting in.

There is a lot more porn than there used to be. You used to scroll the first page and maybe see one porn thread, sometimes two. Traps and lolis were always a thing but I think it's more common now. People used to actually talk a lot more... share crazy stories and whatever.

I think the memes were funnier back then just because they were new.

>been here from late 2009 early 2010
well, it is still shit
even shittier, but non the less , still shit
It has its moments of lulz, I won't lie, but most of the times (about >94% of the time) is shitposting and trolling

Yes, much more conversation was had.

YLYL used to have more original content, meaning stuff that originated here on 4Chan and not another site or image board. There weren't all these "epic lulz" sites floating around with shitty secondhand content that makes its way over to Facebook and the like. Also, social media wasn't as big a thing back then. We had Myspace, and AIM, and that's about it. Neither of those were massive content generators and sharers the way Facebook is.

>>565495637
This is truly the cancer that put the final nail in the coffin. /b/ became ok with faggotry.

To be honest the most significant decrease I've seen on /b/ in my time were raid threads. I guess I joined /b/ when raids were the hype but it's gotten old I suppose. Cringe and loli threads have basically taken over.

There were general discussion threads, I still see some today. Feels, events, "what would you do", etc.

To be honest I feel /b/ tends to go through different phases and we're currently on one I don't enjoy very much i.e traps, CP, loli, furries. But I think soon enough something else will come along and throw that shit to the curb. Hopefully.

Honestly I know I'm a cancerous faggot for saying this but I kinda miss the raids. I used to be everyone's personal army because I had fuck all else to do. Now those threads when they do pop up get squashed pretty quickly.

Probably for the better anyway. I'm too fucking old to be trolling underage attention whores.

Gore is still here. You just have to look a little harder to find it now, although I don't think it was ever terribly common back in the day. Usually somebody would post a gore thread and it was just keep getting bumped and stick around the front page for quite some time. But I don't think we ever had several threads at once on it, like we do porn these days.

Also, pic somewhat related to the topic.

Things got cancerous with the Scientology raids. Too many newfags brought here at once. It's been progressively downhill ever since.

Oldfags only lurk, will always only lurk, and have only ever lurked. And the phrase "newfag" originally came from the wave of fags that migrated from Newgrounds.

>>565496296
what about the roll-thing, I guess the smartphone chat get me laid threads werent around, so what were people rolling for mostly?

and about colored blocks, wasnt samefagging fucking annoying?

YLYL used to be funny, though. And I'm talking only as far back as 2011. That was the year that I discovered /b/ and I come back once in a while only to find the most cringeworthy shit here now. I frequent other sites and once in a while come back here in the hope that it's a good day. It's never a good day.

>>565492794
Oh, and in my opinion, most cancerous threads on /b/ today are "faces of /b/ thread".

Shit boils my blood.

A lot more bawww, creepypasta, gore, fap, and raid threads, and in general just way more single-subject threads, discussing whatever.

YLYL has always been around, as with the cringe and feminist hate threads, though there were fewer of the last two.

Traps/sissy, "rate me," cuckold, and "faces of /b/" threads are pretty recent, and killing everything... the point was to be a bunch of anonymous assholes laughing about fucked up shit and masturbating, not for this to be another fucking social media site.

But no, /b/ was never good.

>>565497524
Roll-threads I think came in around 2010-ish, though maybe a year earlier or later. They started with the typical "xx tells me what to do" BS and I think there were a lot of rolling for gets threads.

Either way, retarded shit.

Creating /soc/ helped but didn't quite cure the cancer.

>>565498152
>>565498239

Agree on "faces of /b/" killing /b/.

The whole point of being anonymous is that no one knows who you are. I don't want you to know who I am, and I don't care who you are.

I also think social media has been steadily ruining /b/ since Facebook became such a big thing. Then we got Snapchat and now Kik and I'm sure it will continue. All the narcissism of social media has slowly seeped onto /b/, and it feels like the influx of pretty hipster kids with big egos is what's really crushing this place.

Found this place via 7chan in early '07 so I suppose that sort of makes me an oldfag. Very rarely come here anymore.

/b/ used to be funnier I think, although all in all it's about the same really.


The best thing /b/ did imo was the SOHH raid. Anyone remember that?

No. It always had a lot of stupid threads, but the OC/lulz to shit ratio was much higher in the past. Now it's trash.

/b/ still moved fast but you occasionally got some good conversations and good threads going. These days there's not much good on /b/; on any given day you can come here and expect to pretty much see the same threads repeated with a few occasional variations.

It used to be you could just go in a thread, post an image reply that didn't have jackshit to do with a goddamn thing, and no one gave it a second thought. It was like a schizophrenic echo chamber. Now everything is feels, cancer, goddamn stupid insipid shit, and doubles. Absolutely sickening.

been lurking since 08

there was a collective feeling that 2009 was the beginning of cancer with "memes" coming into popularity (troll face/rage guy, all that shit)

ever since then there's been a split in the population between people who believe the whole "asshole of the internet" thing and participate in raids etc, and the people who denounce that as edgy, cancerous and rule breaking

/b/ was for original content - quirky, inventive, creative, silly. stupid, but at the same time intelligent humour. there were practical jokes and pranks but people had boundaries.

people were more about making others laugh or think than they were about validating themselves.

trap threads didn't come along until linetrap. after that it took maybe a year and a half to become a full on infestation.

now I'd say there's about 10% of the oc despite the huge boom in visitors. the focus is generally either on doing shitty things to people and "ruining lives!! 4 lulz!!" or rating each others cocks. there were no cock rate threads in 2005. there weren't as many jailbait or sex threads in general. a small amount of cp was posted which did amount to more than i see these days, but that's because failmod snacks let it fly and even condoned it and he and moot were practically the only janitors. most of the girls posted were a few clothed changirls who are now part of 4chan legend.

the point at which it became shitty was when every 14 year aspie old on myspace heard about a few silly pranks from here and started browsing, posting and reciting the rules as though they were deathly serious. hurr durr anonymous is a cruel uncaring monster i am an underground hacker on steroids.

after the influx of faggy kids came cock craving closet homos who just want to rate dicks all day but are somehow straight. then the stormfront tosspots who took people saying "lol nigger" to each other as some sort of sign that they were welcome and promptly started to post about niggers being dumber than whites and "the more you know" crap all day long.

creativity went entirely out of the window in place of little kids arguing, hatred, racism and every one of those dickheads saying "newfag newfag old /b/ was so much better and more evil / racist / gay / whatever the fuck, old /b/ would have ruined x and x's life, old /b/ would have killed kittens, blah blah bullshit"

I visited /gif first then migrated over to /b out of boredom.

only really post in discussion threads. less than 100 total posts since i have been here.

been lurking since '06 '07 maybe earlier.

around that time i found out one of my coworkers was also aware of /b/

back then it was not something you would want to admit to a colleague. we actually had to keep dropping hints/inside jokes to "feel each other out"

>>565504040

there was and still a collective sense of "cringe" at the concept due to the fact that /b/ is a small website inhabited by lonely nerds saying things like "we are legion" and "/b/tards assemble"

>kids all over b with no consequences
>people wearing masks, and anon symbols all over social media no consequences
>news coverage, no consequences
>fuck how many facebook pages are there with /b in the name, no consequences

I exclusively browsed 4chan from 2k6 to 2k11.
It was much better.
Now, I only check out 4chan for a total of like 1 hour a week.

Its just much shittier. As much as people here like to pretend it isnt, this place is mostly dominated by the thoughts of 16-20 year olds. That shit gets old as you get older. On top of it, this place has changed. "epic" threads back then were more frequent. There were more raids. Less "rolling" bullshit. Less trap/furfag. About the same amount of trolling.

Honestly, reddit is just fucking better than this site. Not that reddit doesn't have huge problems, but, in general, there is more old /b/ to be found there than here.

>>565496887
uhh.. there was a lot more CP back then than now. Don't know what you are talking about..

>>565492794
/b/ is like a sherpard tone.
it always seems to go lower and lower, but in reality it's always at the same level.

Nobody is forcing you to open up a trap thread and read it. If you have a better idea for a thread then try posting one

we used to have a lolicon board, /l/.

>>565508840
There was also one for shotacon

and there was april furs day

so what about 4chan pass
do people actually get those to avoid captchas?

>>565508325
Read?!? a trap thread...

>>565509307
hah there was a time not to long ago when 4chan pass was just another gag anons pulled on new b/tards, then someone was like this is a good idea and now its a thing.

>>565508967

even though i always hated them, furfags are the least cancerous thing on /b/ now. fur threads are basically a tradition.

Same with the anime circlejerks, but those are gone too

This site was nearly as shit as it was. Now it's just those shitty Chikuns, the threads where you roll to say something random to a gurl, feel threads, and USA VS Europe threads, and music threads. Of course we also have the GFur/SFur/HFur, Loli, shota, and other kinds of fucked up shit threads. Literally the same shit everyday and I have no idea why the fuck I come back.

>>565510529

ayy lmao

all the real "oldfags" are too jaded to give a shit

>>565492794
been in and out since 08. pretty much retarded the whole time.

demographic change from educated underachievers to uneducated underachievers.

board changed from mentally stimulating to visually stimulating topics.

cultured became diluted and more accessible

>>565492794
>what happened?
It has become an endless loop of the same crap every day & every night.

OC is dead.

I wonder if itll ever go back? I mean eventually the newfags will get bored and leave, but us, we're here forever.

Traps were hated by everyone and if there were traps it would be followed by ITS A TRAP meme

We always said /b/ was never good, but it was actually good compared to now

All the CP threads lasted at least 15 minutes and there were no white knights

Gore threads were as common as porn threads practically

/b/ wasn't all porn

Memes were created on a regular basis

Good raids on chat rooms and other sites since not many people knew about 4chan, or the concept of trolling. Trolling actually worked since people didn't know what you were doing.

>Anonymous was actually good back then

>OC was pretty common

>We got to ruin lives

>no MLP yet

I will have to think about more. 2004-2007 was the peak years.

>>565511607
A decline has been noticed. Let's hope that this will continue.

>>565495002
mods delete raids, SJWs are the new illuminati they are everywhere secretly working together against /b/

>>565511607
>I wonder if itll ever go back?
No.
>I mean eventually the newfags will get bored and leave, but us, we're here forever.
Every generation's relevance is as fleeting as the seconds that tick away. 4Chan marches on. The beast must feed.

>>565492794

I feel like in a way, it used to have a corner on internet culture, but things changed. All the good shit dispersed out to new realms like facebook and twitter, the meme went mainstream, and all that really remained of 4chan was dicks and stale-ass pasta in an endless summer.

We watched the wild west of the internet come and go. And now I still stop in for a bit to remember why there's no point to.

>>565512108
> SJWs are the new illuminati they are everywhere secretly working together against /b/
If you didn't give them attention, they would cease to exist

YLYL threads are nothing new, though the quality of said threads has gone down. There hasn't been anyone making OC for some time now. Trapfags need to go back to their own board, no idea why they flock here. I know we are all fags here, but there are other boards specifically for literal faggotry.

There were more unique threads back in the day. People actually bothered to make threads that weren't the same shit over and over again (YLYL, porn, etc.). Also more gore.

I really miss gore.

>>565495243
Only isolated and unique if you weren't on SA, CSOTD, rotten, ogrish, etc.

/b/ culture existed before /b/
it will exist after

>>565492794
There was much more variety. Theres more cancer than ever and raids never happen. Been here since 08. I think I will abandon /b/ soon.

>>565492794
I've been here since mid-2007.
/b/ has definetaly changed since it became "mainstream" and le maymays became mainstream.

back then it was all about the rules, barrel rolls, chips handon and losing the game.
there were threads like this, for sure, but perhaps less frequently.

>>565512772
I found her attractive back in the day, but now when I look in my Boxxy folder I guess you are right.

But the furries were always shit posted like the traps

>>565494248
oh man i remember those threads.
the jscripts also. posting eval( would be a instaban.

ah memories

i feel like a little child listening to your stories

what are you guys saying? the /b/ i remember had more copy pasta. had whiteknights though few. There was always that one faggot in a CP thread (usually me). there was always that one faggot in a gore thread. There was always that one faggot in a raid. always that one faggot who whiteknighted for an attention whore. though the attention whores were less with less tits about the place. only difference is that that one faggot has multiplied. effects of summer over the years. also /b/ was filled with more anime and porn. reason rules were made about porn threads. way too much

The Habbo raids of 2006 where a different time, a different place. The pool will always be closed for some.

>>565498152
You said it, anon. Once the "rate me" threads become mainstream, may god have mercy on all of us.

>>565514253
i was playing then, actually scared of getting my fucking habbo account hacked.

>>565514339
>once
They already where, which is why there's a /soc/ board now.

>>565514927
Generally the players accounts where left alone. It was the nazi mods of Habbo we wanted

I've been around off and on since late 2005.
OC has been declining steadily. Especially on /b/.
One of the (relatively) recent highlights for me
was the whole Jimmie Russels thing. Nobody
really seems to be able to pull that kind of
stuff off anymore.
We were watching that stuff unfold for hours
and many laughs were had.

Loli threads have been here ever since the loli board was taken down in late '04. It hasn't really increased, besides the threads capping much faster because more people posting.

>pic related

>>565517143
but she was fugly

Been here since about 05.
Come here maybe once a fortnight, if that really.
The site was always a piece of shit but it was funny as fuck.
Oldfag/Newfag was designed to piss people off and the whole "hurr durr" shit got pretty fucking bad hence why I don't really come here often.
Other than that it's pretty much the same.
Trans/phaggot threads have increased a shit ton as well.

/b/ used to be a place where deviant people could express their inner "fucked up" opinions. /b/ could laugh at a suicide. Tumblr, Reddit, 9GAG, they're all just /b/'s slowly fragmenting personality. A side effect of the cancer that eventually kills everything.

been here since like 2mget. it's gotten a lot shittier in some ways but that's just because as a site gets more populated and as the internet gets bigger more types of people are going to come on here. i have my old 40gb hdd at my house, i might dump shots of old threads if i can find it when i get home
