It makes me feel sad more than anything. I wonder what all those people are doing now.

What forum do you have in mind OP?
I honed my trolling skills on various message boards in the early 2000s before Facebook dragged every normie onto the internet and fucked shit up. It's fun to read back on my old teenage posts and indulge in the nostalgia.

Censorship and SJW crusades seem to be the order of the day in 2015. It wasn't always like this. I guess 10 years ago the internet consisted solely of young white males, before Facebook enticed your granny to learn to surf the web.
The Wild West days of the internet are sadly gone. It wasn't so long ago that you could doxx someone on 4chan and gather a personal army to harass them with crank calls. These days that will earn you a ban. We'll never have epic lulz like that again.
