it was the best era of 4chan. every post had magic in it.

none of this anime bullshit, just wall to wall redpills

It was very different from what you know now because 4chan was a different place entirely. When it was created in 1989, 4chan was used as a place to discuss and trade rare snail shells (hence the rarely used nickname, "slime town"). Of course, this all changed when Christopher Moot bought 4chan in 1997 and restructured it into the anime themed image board that it is today. Most users left after the buyout, but some "oldshells" still frequent the site.

It was incredible. You should have seen /pol/ when the USSR collapsed

That actually sounds like it would be a pretty cool website

Slime town was just a reskinned slug berg and you know it.
