I learned about 4chan back when I used to browse the off-topic forums for World of Warcraft back in 05 or 06. I think I was 14 when I first started browsing here, i'm 22 now. Pretty crazy as well as depressing to think I've spent so much time on this fucking site.

>>28921356

my extremely nerdy weirdo friend told me about 4chan in 2004.

I became addicted and I was on /r9k/ the day it opened. I was here when /r9k/ was kill and then again when it was unkill. The thread about the future of 4chan was fucking epic. There was music.

Found 4chan because I got back into Pokemon around 2010 with the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver and came across /vp/. Randomly decided to see what /r9k/ was about in 2012 and thought the fact that no post could be same was kind of neat. Turns out it was a cesspool of misery and loneliness and I've been stuck here ever since.
>>
>>28921441

Isn't it funny how r9k lives up to it's purpose, creating the best known memes out there, just not in the way he intended?
Pepe and wojak are cultural icons now, spawning other variants, and priming the mainstream world to memes in general. Such is life's poetry!>>28921459

Literally just intrigue.
I saw /r9k/ on the board options while I was browsing /sp/ and /b/, and I saw /r9k/.

It's the only place on the internet I can say how I truly feel.
And there are so many people who feel the same as me, it's refreshing to realise I'm not alone.

Not sure about 4chan? I just came here one day and stayed on /v/ for years

/r9k/ I came for the yandere threads. I like 2D yandere girls, and someone on /v/ told me to come here for a whole general about them. Sadly, it wasn't a 2D yandere general. It was dating, and a 3D one.
It did make me browse the board a bit more, and I liked the other threads. So I ended up staying.

who /been on here for more than 10 years now and just realized it now/ here?

I don't come to /r9k/ often but it is one of the most interesting places on the internet IMO. Near objectively so.

I might have heard about 4chan originally from the ultimate-guitar forums (a Russian website).

I've mostly lurked various SFW boards since near-immediately migrating from /b/ upon arrival.

This website has been with me a while now and it's actually pretty surreal to think of it that way.

>>28921356
kid in high school that did nothing but play wow . He showed me /b/ (like 2009?) and I thought it was retarded. It was just porn and gore at a glance. I knew many of the memes though because my friends couldn't communicate without references. I didn't come back until tendies greentext fiesta.

I was right about /b/ being retarded most of the time, I think r9k is a nice compromise.

Came to 4chan to view /b/ once in a while. I really liked watching U.S forces crush sand monkey "people". Came to love /pol/, dabbled in NatSoc. Realized I only liked the Fascist parts of Nazi Germany that crushed Liberals and mud peoples that couldn't do shit right.

>Fast forward like 2 years.

I ended up becoming Libertarian/Classic Liberal. Realized I really don't give a shit about any of this. Just want people to keep their noses out of my business. Vice-Versa. Visited /r9k/ to laugh at autists. Realized I was one and had not ever even been on a date. Felt bad. Stuck around since I belong here.

I lurked /b/ only on mobile for a long ass time, since 2007. I tried to stay away from the Pc ver. because I didn't understanded how the fuck it worked, honestly. I lurked /b/ because Anonymous, the raids and all the famous shit that had ever happened in there. Too bad i only got to see a shadow of what it once was.
I began posting around 2010, and a couple of months later I decided to leave /b/, since half of it's threads were either overused memes or bait, and the other half were trap and furry porn threads. Pathetic.
I discovered /v/,/vr/ and /r9k/ when I saw them as popular treads on the main page. Still visit /v/ and of course /r9k/ them and post almost everyday.

I find the lack of memes in this board very refreshing. Maybe it's because we aren't a lot of people in here.

I would post in the Newgrounds forum and heard about 4chan there, I came after spending some time reading ED and seeing it wasn't as bad as I was told. I got sick of the filthy goon moderators so I stayed permanently, having visited /b/ for all of 5 minutes.

I don't remember when exactly I came but my home board was /v/, now I'm not so sure anymore. Those aren't the same bastards I spent my time on the board with, so now I come here away from the /v/ermin. I'm 26.

I first discovered 4chan a decade ago when a friend dropped the name in AOL Instant Messenger.

I went, and after a few days I was memeing so hard in real life that I lost a few friends.

Thinking about the fact that I've been here since my graduation year is nauseating and I would have become a much better person if I never came here, not because of some general attitude but because the convenience of communicating via anime reaction images and greentext made vocalizing with real people seem obsolete.

>4chan
Rick roll, looking into its origin led me here.
>r9k
Decided to check out new boards after /v/ and /b/ for a few years, now use only v, r9k, tv, pol when some world event happens and occasional vg when I want check out a new game.

From reddit, /r/cuckold specifically.

>>28925141
ED is an encyclopedia of all things 4chan and more. The quality of its editing may leave something to be desired, but in a very real way it chronicles our history. I wish more newfags would actually spend some time there before posting.
>>
I came here after reading the ED article on the habbo hotel raids. Got hella into /b/, then got b& in 2007. After that I went to 7chan and loved the /i/ board and their /b/ because it was slower and that meant you could photoshop something decent instead of just reposting the same images. Then when 7chan got v& I sort of just left the internet and forgot about it till around 2012 when I started working a really boring job that gave me lots of free time.

I saw a tendie story on reddit and came back. /b/ sucks now, but /r9k/ is fascinating. When I had a rough time with the law and my ex got me arrested, talking with the original barman at the feels and frogs really helped.

I still lurk here a lot, but I find a lot of people treat this place like a defeatist circle jerk.

I have spent over 10,000 hours on 4chan over the course of 10 years.

I've seen this place go from being optimistic about new games (Like Bioshock 1,) to hating everything before they know a single detail.

But now?

This place is a lot worse because of astroturfing. Astroturfing is when an interest (usually political) campaigns anonymously to impressionable people. You may notice this on /r9k/... The Rose threads, the racebait threads, the tranny/sissy threads, the Trump threads, etc. Even /b/ and their pet Occupy movement has become socialist cuckshit in favor of censorship.

There are definitely enough obsessed individuals trying to recruit across the internet with propaganda. Ever see those videos of Milo talking at universities and all those fans of his and the BLM protesters against the event coming on their day off to scream at each other?

They're the ones who infest this place and shit up the board. They dedicate their lives to their agenda. They want you to do the same.

Found /r9k/ because I though it was a place with plenty of OC. Eventually realized this is where all the losers come here through feels threads. Figured that since I'm a lonely socially autistic virgin myself, I'll fit right in with you guys.

2 months ago early 2015 i found here on a funny link my friend sent through Facebook and I've been OBSESSING over the memes here ever since

I should have left that piece of shit board long ago.

I occasionaly come on this board for the rare gems, browsing through the pages swiftly since most is complete garbage, self-loathing, chad shit and whatever, but I mostly go on /pol/ these days as well as /vg/ when I get hooked on a videogame, also /x/

pic related, this is all your fault for not following these. too many people kept spouting "muh sekrit club xDDD" and it quickly lost its shine. But I speak as someone who joined in 2011

>How did you guys come to find 4chan and /r9k/?
I wish I didn't.
Find out around 2008 on a tech forum mentioning /g/. Stay a while then /b/, then /r9k/.
>>28922316
>Pretty crazy as well as depressing to think I've spent so much time on this fucking site.
iktf, 8 years, it's like a drug now and I scare myself about it.
>>
>>28922205
I started on /x/ because I was reading creepypastas and someone mentioned that there's more creepy shit on /x/ so I went to check what "/x/" is.

Then I discovered /b/ and stayed there for a few years, once it became cancerous and full of redditors I switched to /r9k/, /v/, and /g/
>>
normie classmate introduced me to /b/ a few years back. didn't browse it much until last summer which was when i found r9k and pol

First heard about it on some forum back in 2008, spent a bit of time on /b/ but left soon afterwards. Came back in around 2011, and have been trapped here ever since. First visited /r9k/ in 2012, maybe? I can't remember exactly
>>
moot redirected me from /b/ somewhere in 2010. He put up that notice about /r9k/ being a cool place all about epic OC or something. I think that was slightly before the beta as fuck thing.
>>
I found 4chan back in around 2005 through an off topic thread on a Guild Wars forum.
Like most I went through /b/, then /v/, neither of which I visit now. I've had a few different board phases, now mostly /fit/, /mu/ and /r9k/

Btw the best board is /tg/


>>28921503
If you have any respect for your fellow posters you will not post again for at least 2 years. Fucking REEEEE 4chan is dead

Jesus Christ is this life. How are you old enough for this site FUCK ME AND FUCK YOU

GameFAQs forum users kept mentioning how shitty this place was and how there was all kinds of vile shit posted all over the place. I was actually quite frightened coming down here for fear of accidentally stumbling upon some CP, but that never happened. This place actually wasn't all that bad I discovered.

I'm with you mate. Do you ever think about what would happen if 4chan went down. Imaging trying to explain to someone what made the site special. It's honestly played a big part in my life and it's upsetting to think of it disappeared no one I know would even understand what I'd lost.
>>
>>28921356
Found 4chan cause I hard they did edgy things here.
People at school told me I was really boring and had the personality of a robot. Went on /b/ and heard them mention you guys and they called you robots. so i came here thinking it would be all the boring no-personality shitposters of 4chan. stayed for the feels

I argued in IRC about how /r9k/ was a bad thing because spam like DESU DESU DESU/MOXIE MOXIE MOXIE/LULZ LULZ LULZ etc still conveys useful information

now I like /r9k/ but the management hates it

funny how that goes

I can no longer remember how long although it's definitely longer than I'd like :^/
On the plus side r9k has seen me through some tough times and helped me get through psychosis

4chan raised me

I started regularly coming here whenever the fappening happening, I started browsing /pol/ after /pol/harbor, and i've been browsing /r9k/ since about January 2015.

I didn't start posting until around February of this year.

>>28921356
In uni I heard that 4chan had illicit porn from a collegehumor video
After I got tired the porn boards, I started on /a/ and then a few sideboards.
Eventually I wondered what robot9001 meant and browsed the catalogue. Then I realized that it wasn't normal to be a 20yo kv with no social life and started reading redpill threads.

Started browsing cancer 9gag in about 2010. Started browsing reddit in 2012, then moved on to /r/4chan. Started browsing /b/ in 2013.

Being exposed to 4chan was like taking a huge Internet redpill desu, it pointed out the fakeness of reddit's community and the thirst for Internet points, the content chain (4chan>reddit>9gag-Facebook etc). I also realised that a lot of things on the Internet that I found funny years ago was because of 4chan (Jesus Chatline raids etc). Also being used to reddit made me think that the most upvoted was the truest, then the equality of 4chan posting showed me how argument and debate actually happens and how in creative boards you defend your views with actual arguements rather than reddit's circlejerking and puns.

I browed /b/ exculsively then took up /lit/ then also /mu/. Now I browse /mu/, /tv/ and /r9k/. I know my post is a bit serious and 4chan is still just a meme/shitposting site of shitflinging but I feel that I this is my home; hopefully someone can relate answim not juat being a fag

Pic is a very early picture that I saved from /b/ when we were raiding and discussing a feminazi girl and she kept on saying "dat shot ain't okay dokey"

I went from normie to failed normie by being exposed to the internet.

Then I somehow stumbled upon here.
>>
>>28921356
r/4chan obviously!
>>
>>28921356

I found myself getting slowly drunk in a bar one night with complete strangers, and then everything went black. I don't remember how I got here.

I just woke up in a dark place and was never able to get out. Thus, the place was referred to as /r9k/ by the others who shared the same space as I.
>>
I used to shitpost on the rant section in the runescape forums back in the day when I got linked to 4chan
>>
>>28921356
I used to go on a forum which I would refer to as a proto /r9k/, but it had a lot more failed normies and cyborgs than bots. Eventually the guy who owned it shut it down, but before that he told us all about this place. I checked it out and liked it.
>>
I heard about 4chan from a buddy when I was in highschool. I think it was 2009. He would get butthurt every time moot got drunk and messed with the site.

I learned of /r9k/ when some /pol/acks talked about during /pol/ harbor.

>>28921356
I don't really remember, I was a kid at the time and just stumbled into it. Never watched a single anime
