There won't be. Chans are holdovers from early 2000s Internet and they'll soon go the way of Kazaa, Limewire and Flash sites.
This site itself has been on a downward spiral since at least 2007. And in this increasingly-regulated and censored Internet, sites like this one won't be around for much longer. Eventually you'll just have a handful of sites consolidated under a few companies.
The future doesn't have any room for this place. It will either be wiped from the face of the Internet, or mutated so badly that it no longer resembles anything like what it used to be.

The 20th century was the turning point. We were able to host huge wars without lasting destruction. With nuclear weapons there would be no buildup. The climax would be over before it began.

The biggest things we have right now are commercial space flight, genetic engineering, nuclear fusion reactor and organ regeneration.

They don't have the resources for sustenance.

It will be much like it is now: the many work the fields and factories while sending it to the upper class in exchange for wages or salaries. Only then, their mansions will be in space. The big difference is that we will be provided with large quantities of rare Earth metals due to asteroid mining.

Shit, now I remember how much of a big movie event that trilogy was back then. Everyone was talking about it and my dad took me to see the return of the king when I turned 12.

I first watched the fellowship on a DVD that I borrowed from a neighbor and that sparked my obsession with constructing replica weapons.

At one point me and the neighborhood kids would have mock LOTR battles in the street.

Because you started to notice it.

Things were getting worse much earlier than that.

9/11 ushered in the current era. The euphoric 90s may have been an era of sterile consumerism, but you really don't know what you've got until it's gone. There were major intellectuals claiming history had ended, for fuck sake. Some thought that war would just gradually depart from the earth now that the Cold War had ended.

The weapons were only made out of bamboo and tape and were relatively harmless, but I sperged out on the bows and arrows which were lethal. I could shoot them at a tree and they would stick into the truck, I even managed to smash a double glazed window with ease.

That was the CDA of 1996. It would have outright banned anything not appropriate for children. This was before normal people gave a shit about the internet and there was no such thing as an encrypted darknet, back then the whole internet was like a darknet. The CDA was like a Terminator sent back in time to kill the internet when it was still a baby.

>The CDA was like a Terminator sent back in time to kill the internet when it was still a baby.

Pretty good analogy. I do remember the CDA, but back then it wasn't really necessary. Almost no one used the Internet back then and posting your personal information was considered one of the worst things you could do online.
Even 10 years ago, the Internet was completely different to what it is now. Back then, if you wanted to go online, you had to be seated in front of a PC screen, and unless you were NEET, people didn't spend the entire day on the Internet. Not to mention, the Internet was treated as a very separate thing from real life. It didn't bleed into the real world like it always does now.

>Looking at the state of our faggoty always-online society, we might have been better off if Bill Clinton succeeded.

I'm not sure, but I may agree with you. I do often wonder if the world as a whole would have been better off without the Internet. At the very least, I know we would be better off right now without social media, smartphones and Wi-Fi.

You really need to be careful about porn addiction. I'm 87% sure you're porn addicted right now. Do you lnow what that means?
If your dream-female appeared right infrobt of you, right now, naked and ready for sex, you wouldn't be able to cum and perhaps not even hold an erection. After all this time, your body is conditioned to porn. It needs porn to achieve orgasms. That's what happened to me. Watch the Ted talk about porn addiction on youtube.
