>tfw you realize you've been on 4chan for literally a decade
Where did it all go so wrong?
What's wrong with that anon
You like this site, nothing wrong with that
>>29768101
>implying anyone actually "likes" this site
>>29768140
I like this site! That's why I spend all my time here
i don't know what other sites to go on when i'm idle so i always come back to 4chan. things were simpler back then when all you would do is just google random shit
>>29768140
This is the only site I visit and I love it
It will have been a decade in 2017 for me.
I don't even like this place, because it's full of racists and other varieties of retard.
Actually, I only come here for the YLYL threads, but these have gone to shit as well. Used to be the fucking banana, then the muslim anime, now it's the "reply or your mother dies" garbage.
I hope these people get killed in extremely painful ways.
>>29768279
>because it's full of racists
>mfw newfags think 4chan is a place for racism
Should we red-pill them about how 4chan originally was left-wing?
I think lurkers today truly doesn't realize this.
>>29768083
I've been here for over 4 years as I remember
Started with /b/ and slowly with /g/ and /r9k/ till now.
>inb4 newfag reeeeeeeee
>>29768279
>because it's full of racists
...if you've been here that long surely you know the /pol/tards are only a small minority on most boards
literally 2 months away from an actual full on decade. 26 and still a loser
thanks for the reminder moot
10 years for me too. I'm not even into anime/japanese culture either.
>>29768420
Me neither. Never watched an anime in my life.
(OP)
>>29768367
I don't go to /pol/, but whenever anything even remotely race related appears on /b/ or /r9k/, it certainly doesn't seem like a "small minority".
>>29768339
>I think lurkers today truly doesn't realize this.
Nor do I care.
>mfw newfags think 4chan is a place for racism
I don't know if it's a "place for racism", but clearly there is a lot of it going around.
>my 6th year, spent 5 on /pol/ and 1 here
>>29768546
>literally cucked to death
im sorry anon. that is a sad story
>>29768499
It's just a very vocal minority. It's unfortunate to say the least that these people feel the need to spew their shit all over the site instead of keeping it contained in their area
>>29768665
I don't know about that. Making a post that implies that black people aren't inferior to white people gets me bombarded with a shitload of replies calling me a nigger, among other things.
>11 years
If this site goes I will lose the main reason I even bother with the internet anymore.
>only been using 4chan regularly for about a year
>last experience before then was accidentally letting my brother use my computer with 4 tabs of gifs from ass threads on /gif/ open

>>29769557
>your face when hes here now
was he older or younger? and how old are you?
>>29768140
i geuinly like the site, there are some problems. But its vastly supperior to all other gat sites.
>>29768083
it cannot be 9 years....yet it is...
>>29769490
Also 11 years here. I cannot end it myself.
:(
>>29768698
people show their true colours while theyre anonymous
im sure the amount of aversion or even hatred against blacks is far greater than the public discourse suggests
i prefer honesty even if its unpleasant sometimes
>>29768339
>>29768279
Shit I guess i've been here about 10 years myself.
But I remember Pool's Closed and tons of other similar things. You can't say this site is un-racist.
>tfw you realize that 4chan hasn't been good in a decade
Got 1 more year before I think about that. 2007.
>>29768339
>4chan originally was left-wing
Wait, what? Story please?
Two more years until I hit a decade. Happier times back then
>>29770987
>i prefer honesty even if its unpleasant sometimes
Then, what if I told you your normie-robot dichotomy is fake?
Fucking hypocrite.
>>29768083
>be me 10 years ago
>go on 4chan
>what the fuck it's full of pedophiles... scat fetishists... nazis?
>leave
little me had more sense
>>29768339
Just because people hated the Bush era doesn't mean they were left wing. Nobody liked Gore or Kerry. Nobody.
Six months till I hit the 10 year mark
Hopefully I will be gone before then
>>29768083
Probably a decade ago
I've been here a decade too. 4chan has problems, but I'd rather be here than anywhere else. Especially instead of those forums that force you to register and suck mod dick.
12 years..... Fuck
I need to leave.
>>29768339
>Should we red-pill them about how 4chan originally was left-wing?
Haha. Nah. You a fucking faggot full of shit. It was full of anarchists, but not in your leftard universitary studies way. I remember making many swastikas when anons requested blackup during Habbo hotel raids. we always used the n-word. We had Nazi threads in /b/ everyday. We used the happy merchant meme much before it was associated with Zyklon Ben (or even was called like this). You know shit about the golden times of 4chan. Fuck off newfag.
>21
>Been on 4chan since 13
I now know why I'm a robot.
>>29771370
>>29772362
Pool's closed was an actual meme, it was only meant to be funny. Certainly in the offensive way, but there wasn't actual underlying racism behind it. Same with your swastikas. You're fucking delusional man if you think actual nazis were behind it, that's laughable man. The raids were driven by pimpled 13 yos who just wanted lols and to push boundaries. It was all a laugh.
>>29771442
4chan has always been a place of cynicism where everything deserves to be mocked and where no joke is offensive, and so on and so on. But while the jokes may have been racist and misogynistic, the actual users weren't - it really was just memes and laughs. It was always clear anonymous stood to the left, Fox News and the like was mocked endlessly, and people like Jon Stewart or Tyler Durden were (unironically) idol figures. Nothing was in reality more genuinely laughed at than the radical right wing, they were the direct enemy. Look at the activism of early Anonymous to get a general idea of where it was at. Occupy Wallstreet was supported, 4chan was anti-capitalist, left anarchist.
>>29772434
>I deserve everything. I deserve to be a robot.
>>29772462
> You're fucking delusional man if you think actual nazis were behind it, that's laughable man.
You lack context, fucking faggot. Like I said, we hosted Nazi and Jew threads every fucking day on /b/. True, we did it for the lulz, as we said, but deep in the core we were all NatSocs, or at least tolerated Nazi ideas. If you say we praise communism and tolerance, you are a congenital liar.
Futhermore, r9k was originally not a feels/misogyny shithole, y'know. It was just like a general 4chan board, a more mature /b/. Things were actually discussed, not just feels shitposted.
>>29772462
Mmm, I see. You are one of those faggots who felt for the hacktivism meme after Chanology... The ones that destroyed 4chan, making it maintream.
>>29772548
>deep in the core we were all NatSocs, or at least tolerated Nazi ideas
>>29772582
Nah I was never involved in any of that
And 4chan was pretty fucking mainstream even before that m8
>>29772548
>>29772362
Racism isn't confined to the right of the political spectrum you absolute retard. We were definitely left back in the day. We always run counter-culture, and the right was sillier and more dominant back then like the left is ridiculous and dominant now.
t. 2004 elder-tier former /b/tard
>>29768339
4chan was never leftwing
4chan has always just been pissed at the status quo and the people who try to censor their hobbies
in the early 2000's it was the republicans. now its the left simple as that
>>29768539
That's what happens when you have a global platform. There are billions of people on the planet and anybody can post here, learn how to filter your own experiences
>>29772548
But National Socialism is a left wing ideology, senpai....
honestly most of it is just a blur at this point
I know that I didn't post on any board before '09 and I started lurking before then more like '07-'08
started on /b/ of course and then made my way to /tv/, /hr/, /pol/, /r9k/
/g/ helped me build my pc
/k/ helped me find my next toy
/sci/ and /his/ are worth a laugh sometimes
really fuck this place though. if I had anything better to do (like fuck girls) I wouldn't lurk as much
>>29768101
...I do, though.
Sure, it has flaws. Everything and everyone has flaws, and this is a site that's designed to unite a bunch of cranky shitty individuals.
But overall? This site is actually pretty goddamn good. It's led me to good advice, good media, and good folks to roleplay with.
Legit, if your experience was shitty, but slightly less shitty than everything else around you-- I'm honestly sorry. That was how moving around Louisiana felt until I escaped to Colorado.
I don't believe in any god, but anon? Godspeed and good luck. You need it.
Any otherfembotshere who have been here a decade at least?
>>29773088
...Probably, but jesus... If you're not fat... Fucking how?
I'm legitimately fucking curious and actively would want to hang out with you, not because you're female-- At this point of isolation, that really doesn't fucking matter-- but because I think you're a fucking unique specimen and I want to study you and figure out how you work.
>>29768083
>Where did it all go so wrong?
sounds like around a decade ago
>>29773201
Okay Anon, let's be friends.
But how? You know, how does anyone stay on this site for a decade? Aside from the memes we really aren't alien creatures who function entirely differently from men.
>>29773723
You probably stayed on the site for a decade the same way I did: You found it interesting.
Skype me. I'mI.like.tigers.
>>29773919
>ever going beyond anonymity
Sorry no
>>29773997
Hey, fair enough. My border's at pseudonymity, and it takes folks years and years to learn my real name.
>>29774097
I know how it goes. Anonymity's a beautiful thing though, 4chan would truly be nothing without it.
How long have you been here?
>>29774160
About the same as you. I was underage b& when I started, but I can't remember if it was 9 or 10 years ago. I was actually fairly popular in high school, and had a "reputation", actually, as a really stand-up guy, if a fucking nerd.
Then I went to college. It was its own experience, good and bad, and I knew a bunch of folks, but it was still isolating, because fuck... I'm a weird cunt.
Then I moved to Colorado. Alone. Because Louisiana would've killed me. And...I was nobody, but that was okay, because I met a lover at the lowest point in my life. I was living in a house with 17 cats, and she was beautiful, and we saved each other.
Two years ago, I walked in on her fucking another dude in my bed, and have been alone ever since, and 4chan is my best friend.
>>29774346
You're exactly how I picture the typical male 4channer.
I don't believe people can save each other though. I'm sorry it went how it went, but I think we need to focus on what brought us good moments while it lasted, rather than how everything - inevitably - comes to shit. I always think of loneliness as an absolute state - we will always be alone with ourselves in the end.
But people come and go and I hope you find someone else eventually, Anon. Just don't fall for the "if I find a gf everything will sort itself out/she will complete me"-meme. We've only got ourselves, in the end.
Best website on the internet without a doubt, those who respect anonymity are those I want to be around.
>>29774518
I don't, though.
I'm working out. I'm eating healthier than I used to, but I cringe at a lot of the top tier of that spectrum. I socialize with people that disgust me, because they're still people, and they still have some value morally, and more importantly, they might have some value regarding achieving my own goals.
But honestly? "Hell is other people" is a fucking lie. Loneliness leads me to tearing myself apart. Conflict with other people makes me examine THEM as well as yourself.
...Still, being dismissed as "the typical male 4channer"... that actually hurts more than being called a closet faggot. And I ain't ashamed to say that.
>>29774717
*as well as myself
Because I'm a fucking idjit who can't type for shit, god fucking damnit.
>>29774717
Oh it wasn't meant as an insult. Typical 4channer, mind you - not typical robot.
>>29774792
Darlin', honey, the best insults are never meant to be.
Bless your heart, I hope you have a blessed life, for lack of anything better to say.
>>29768083
That shit hit me like a ton of bricks
Fucking hell man.
>>29768083
>Where did it all go so wrong?
you've been on 4chan for literally a decade
>>29768140
it's better than facebook and twitter...
>>29776077
If you have social media you REALLY don't belong on r9k. Ree-, fucking reeee- at you Anon.
>>29776054
When you put it that way....
Should I delete my 4chan folder? I can do it RIGHT NOW. Should I? And never look back?
