In what year did everything start going downhill?
On 4ch? 2007.

Basically >>25184635
Not just for 4chan, but all of humanity too, it was the year Facebook truly took off and brought the normalfag hordes with it to the internet, the year Capeshit started to get huge and ruined mainstream cinema forever. The year that iphones were unveiled to the public and also the first episode of The Big Bang Theory.
Coincidence? I don't think so.
One of the tragedies here is that the fellow in the OP doesn't ring any bells anymore. It's like 80% of the /r9k/ userbase didn't browse this board in even 2014.
2007
both for 4chan and my life

I've been on /r9k/ since a few days after it was first added - it's been awful ever since it got deleted and brought back.

Or nobody gives a single shit about r9k celebrities once they've outlived their meme half-life or got replaced with somebody worse.

2007. Everything went to shit hard, and I mean mega hard. It was a rain of never ending shit, that got stuck in out rain boots and tore through umbrellas. Rivers became flowing terrors of diarrhea and piss, that tainted the waterways and was digested by the masses, thus becoming one with the shit that poured from the heavens of hell. It shit rained so hard the earth grew an extra layer of shit and filth, that will never be removed. Aliens will attempt to invade us only to see the earth has been encased in a dry sphere of shit-cake. God himself has abandoned us, as he refuses to let his son return to a world so infused with shit. Even the Devil is thankful he resides in Hell for the earth has become so appalling, and his demons refuse to set foot on its shit encrusted land. There is no saving the human race from the shit we are engrossed in. We are doomed, and will forever be consumed by the shit we so longingly thrive in, for not even Shrek himself would bathe in the tainted black waters of earth.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

Mr Lahey, have you been drinking again?

Fall 2014 was when it all really started going downhill. In the last year more terrible shit happened to me than in the previous five years put together.
I lost my mind, really lost it. I was always reasonable but now I evidently can't function without anti psychotics. I got like three concussions, got permanent damage from that, I'm not employable anymore because of it.
I don't really have all that much control over what I do or choose anymore. I'm just watching, pretty much. Never used to be that way. Fall 2014.

do tell

I'd say 2009. It started slowly declining in 2007, sure, but it reached a point of no return in 2009. Boxxy was the nail in the coffin for 4chan and the internet going mainstream was the nail for real life.
2003.
I was a fairly normal kid with slight transgression problems but managed to play the social game. Then I Started middle school. Knew a lot of people from previous school but for some reason hardly anyone wanted to my friend, don't really know why. Not even the nerds or animefags, I just didn't fit in any circle. Become shy, chubby, and socially awkward as fuck. Lots of fights with my parents over vandalizing public property. Tried going into a few parties but I hated it and didn't know what to do with myself. Got heavily depressed, barely paid attention at class because I hated sitting there with everyone, grades started dropping, school counselor tried talking to me but I pretended to be a normie with no problems because I didn't feel comfortable to talk about my problems with others, parents send me to psychological/psychiatric/neurological tests. Crawling_In_My_Skin.mp3 spent most of my time dreaming about girls and making up scenarios in my head. everything went downhill from there and by 2005 I was already fantasizing about killing myself or shooting up my school.

Holy fuck, that's my life after the age of 10.
