very end of 2008

I think it was about 2007 i started browsing, right before epic fail guy began to take up and spam the shit out of every thread. One of the first forms of cancer.

Went to 420chan becuase i was an edgy teenager that started smoking bongs. Met my gf, broke up, spammed the baw-forum there.

Didnt go to arcanine until a couple of years ago, mostly frequented /b/ and 420chan.

>>28676114
I would say that 4chan has been detrimental to my life overall, but only slightly so, and I don't really regret spending my time here. I'm glad I stopped taking this place's advice once I grew up and realized that everyone here is retarded; I have a friend that still takes 4chan stuff to heart and he's fucked up in the head.

I'm a 2010 kiddie anyways, so I was never here when 4chan was really good, but it's obviously taken a nosedive in recent years. /r9k/ has been shit since Pepe caught on, /vr/ (my main board now) has been on a steady decline the past year as more and more /v/ kids invade, and /asp/ (my former home board) got ruined by /sp/. Honestly, /wooo/ is probably the best board I regularly visit, and that's not even on this site.

>>28676114
It'll be ten years in August. I actually abandoned /r9k/ for the most part and only come back here when my homeboard and /pol/ is dull.

It's definitely affected how I see minorities and women, but not to a degree where it affects my real life. I'm a little critical on myself, sometimes sink into being really unhappy with myself but mostly am able to pull out of that.

Honestly, I don't think it's all bad. I stopped being a weeb thanks to 4chan, I learned to be less spergy about my hobbies and less spergy in general about everything. People find me funny if I can talk to them, unfortunately I've got a hard time keeping friends and forming meaningful relationships.

I don't really regret anything though. But I'm normie.

2005 here. I miss the old culture of 4chan. Before, there was an outcast culture. That is, whether you were a shy nerd, black, gay, whatever, we all came together and shared feels. 4chan was never "PC" in the sense that we used words like fag and nigger, but back then it was for shock value and trolling. Before you insist 4chan is a right-wing website, remember that before you came here:

>we had daily gay sleepover stories threads on /v/
>everyone was mad for traps
>we raided Hal Turner's right-wing radio show
>we doxxed anyone who hurt animals
>Chanology, while eventually cancerous, started out defending people against a weird cult
>tons of threads of qt scene girls with, yes, the dreaded brightly colored hair

Now, instead of feeling feels together, the outcast culture has been replaced with a xenophobic culture: men vs women, black vs white, straight vs gay, cis vs trans, etc. Kinda sad, but it's been getting better since the failure of GG and the move to 4+4chan.

4chan has generally been a benefit for me. I've seen that all people have their issues and odd desires (yes, 4chan is not the most representative sample of people, but I'm sure it still applies).

I pop in and out from time to time. I might browse regularly for a couple of months, then not touch the site for awhile.

I think I'm on the line between oldfag and newfag.

Honestly 4chan is a time waster but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. Also I've only been on /r9k/ for a few years I think. I rotate boards every now and then and sprinkle in some others that I don't normally visit, so I don't really feel bored or regretful.

Started out with /b/ and /v/, quickly moved to /x/ and /tv/, then to /r9k/ and /lit/. Lately I've just been browsing /r9k/, trying to limit my 4chan intake.

Well, it's all jest. People posting 'misogyny', other people equally facetiously telling then that they're completely deluded for supposedly completely misjudging women, multiple layers of bait, telling people to kys, even the unspoken pretension that /r9k/ is a 'festering shithole' that it really isn't... even the life stories are shared without any sense of their importance. They're not being sent to accomplish anything. On 4chan fly ideas, but hardly desires and intents.

First encountered 4chan in 2008 because of channology in the news.

My first memory was getting all excited about posting joseph ducreux macros on /b/, and having every post I wrote be accused of trying to force a meme, so I guess 2009 is when I really started browsing.

First came in 2010. Was an avid /v/ browser from 2010-2012. I didn't hear of /r9k/ until it was shut down in early 2011 and was immediately intrigued by the idea of a board for friendless kissless virgins, because at the time I was a friendless kissless virgin. Browsed /r9k/ post-revival from 2011-2013 before ditching it because I acquired friends and got bored, then was on /mu/ from 2013-2015 until I took a break from 4chan entirely early 2015.

I came back a few months ago because despite having friends, I am still a bitter kissless virgin, and /r9k/ gives me a place to vent in a way that would not be accepted literally anywhere else. I also return to /mu/ on occasion, but I'm never going back to /v/. Partially because it was shit even 4 years ago, and partially because I like very few video games these days.

/r9k/ seems mostly the same to the early post-revival days. But there is a distinct difference in the feel of 4chan in general since 2014. "Meme culture" became massive in normieworld last year, and I remember being really put off by all my normie friends talking about "rare pepes". Coming back to /r9k/ after a nearly 3 year break, there is a definite feeling that there are substantial numbers of people who arrived 2014 and after from Facebook and Reddit who unironically or post-ironically use the phrase "dank memes". And that makes me very sad.

4chan's best hope is that shit dies down, the whole meme thing passes over fully into normieverse, and the site becomes a semi-outcast region again. Even to go back to 2011 levels would be great. I feel like there was a period from 2010-2013 where 4chan had gone off the radar and normies really didn't talk about this site or anything that came from here, and while things weren't amazing then, they at least felt original and funny.
>>

Well I remember this one time in 2005 I was taking a bath and I googled 4chan.org because I heard my brothers talking about how crazy it was or something. I clicked on some random board but when I was prompted with the "you must be 18+ to use this site" thing I got scared that the FBI would come to my house because I wasn't 18 and I left.
Also I think I saw hentai in one of the images down at the bottom.

I learned about the chans from reddit, and I learned about reddit from a wild edible plants forum where the owner of the forum would rant about how much he hated reddit. To be honest, reddit is cancer, but very few people seem to know about it, especially normies. Even 4chan gets more news coverage because of the shooters.

right I'll right a little because im gonna go to bed.

I've been here for about 8 years at least.

It's one of my favorite sites and I love you guys, each and every one of you faggots, I hope you all live good lives, I hope you make it or at least end up being happy with yourselves.

As for myself I feel ok, like many of you I have issues with depression and anxiety, difficulty making friends but you all help.

The sites changed a long with the boards, some new ones some old ones deleted or split up.

I remember my first post was asking what the shoop da woop meme meant lol, such a newfag.

It's going to be strange when this site is gone and my connection to loveable losers across the world disappears.

You guys aren't edgy neckbeards or racists or pedos or any of that shit, you're anons, I am anon.

I love this place, it's me.

but holy fuck a lot of you idiots have embraced the pepe chad stacy bullshit, I remember back in the day r9k was about the freaks stuck between being too normal for losers and too much of a loser for normies.

TLDR I fucking hate you all you are faggot but my faggots.

From what events I can remember there arent really many.

I remember EFG he used to show up on /b/ and get into all sorts of trouble

I remember hen /v/ started playing the naruto theme

I remember when they played robot unicorn attack

I remember when /x/ was raided countless times and times when /b/ died

I remember consequences will never be the same

I remember crabs and spiders and scorpions and frogs tied to balloons to fly off into the sky

I remmeber the brave bat on the spaceship

I remember snacks and manly tears

I remember when that flash request board got deleted

Im pretty sure r9k died then came back again too

I remember the odd time for april fools we had facebook notifaction for liking posts

I remember the few times when we got famous we all had to act nice and be kind to one another for anyone visiting.

I remember the row row fight the powah phrase showing up a ton too, brobro take a shower, fuck the invisible etc

Out of curiosity, what do you guys consider your best time on 4chan? For me, it was 2011 /v/, because there was cool stuff like Ace of Spades, Synchtube, Deus Ex: HR threads, etc. Also /v/ wasn't obsessed with Twitter and identity politics like it is these days.

I don't know. Everybody seems so entrenched nowadays. You either love Game of Thrones or every episode is a piece of shit. You're a stormfag or you masturbate to black dick. You're an emotionally damaged lifter or Chad's beta.

I never felt like this back in my heyday, but I also started out only browsing ylyl threads on /b/. There's this far-reaching implication that we all ought to be somewhere else. It's like George Costanza actually has us all upset about the current year. It's like we need this anonymous belief structure to keep us together.

I got up to 5pl8 DL thanks to /fit/. I wrote a novel. I'm pursuing a master's degree in a STEM field. I would say that my life has moderate successes. 4chan has been around though. Nowadays I want to leave; I didn't before. There's too much bait for me anymore.

We watched a few of those torrents together, the ones with moot at cons or doing talks.
