Yeah. I even posted on the chon for a couple years.

I was perturbed since r9k at that time was one of a kind as a general board that you could actually discuss a wide variety of interesting topics without them 404ing in 5 minutes, but then boards like /sci/, /pol/, /lit/ and eventually /his/ were created and r9k was left totally devoid of intellectual posters and topics.

The people who filled the vacuum where the whiny faggots who were attached to r9k as a place to vent their boring facebookesque frustrations and blog about inane bullshit. So when r9k came back it was worse than ever, and amazingly it has degraded even worse from those days because of a enormous influx of teenaged redditors who came here for the "dank memes" and stayed to blog about their highschool feels.

I miss when this place actually felt like a tight-knit community with its own wide variety of topics, tripfags, and posters. Instead of a sprawling garbage dump for rejects who get told to fuck off from other boards for being cancerous frogposters and blogposting faggots.

Why are you here then, anon?

nah I was still on reddit and i funny I wasn't old enough to be here yet :D

It should happen again

this man speaks the truth, moot should never have brought this place back. It's practically a containment board now.

This place was /b/lite/ without the spam from the start, arcanine was never good.

No he didn't you stupid fuck. He just renamed it /soc/, and a little bit later gave (You) /lgbt/. What the hell is your problem? Literally the only reason there was a new r9k was that a tiny, tiny handful of guys wanted a place specifically for greentext stories, which r9k never was in the first place. If you were here you were most likely a fag or someone who needed high school advice.

I was ten at the time

Yeah I remember when there were a lot of random topic threads mixed in with tfwnogf and greentext your day stuff. Was ok. Also posted on the chon when for a few years. Probably my fondest internet memories desu.

That's probably just nostalgia.
It would've remained so if it really was.

Moot being a big baby and deleting it only to bring it back is what ensured /arcanines/ death, i didnt post on ye old9k but i did lurk one or two threads sometimes, surprised by how normal the posters were, and how wimmin posted without having 20+ thirsty replies. moot actually advertised the board which is how i even knew it existed, maybe that was a source for it's death. he was hoping it would get bombed by randoms some more so he'd feel justified in ending it. maybe he wanted to kill it before it got run into the ground, which is what actually destroyed any chance of /r9k/'s community ever bouncing back to what it once was.

You actually have moot to thank for killing your board tbqhwyf
