I remember when i'm playing ragnarok online and everybody were very very helpful.
On forums, people respect each other or at least arguing with senses.
Nowadays, it's just the trolling and shitposting attitudes.

>Ever wonder why the internet turned to shit?
I'm pretty sure it was social media that fucked it up
Not to sound like a NORMIES REEEEEE tard but facebook and twitter brought a lot of people who weren't 'computer geeks' online
>>338691284
many were inspired by the attitudes they observed from 4chan from a distance, never knowing it wasn't genuine for the most part
>>338691408
Do it for4chan
>>338691284
People change and so do we.
Remember, it was conservatives who wanted to ban vidya not liberals.
>>338691284
support funding for mental health and institutionalization, and this shit cleans up super-quick.
>>338688389
>Closer to 2030 than we are to 2000
If you think about it, 4chan is analogous to a human life.
>>338688573
I have this, not from /v/ though.
>>338691478
I am
>>338691517
Normie ruining everything, it's not the first time though
>>338691612
I agree, mostly are just copy pasta or very similar quotes that get posted repeatedly that it's not even funny anymore.
>>338691678
that doesn't excuse any side.
Banning vidya and censoring vidya is both as bad.
>>338691776
Check your mentally healthy privileges, bigots
>>338691953
How?
do you guys think you'll still be posting here in 12 years? i wonder if 4chan will have some sort of vr world full of furries, shemales, and nazis
Do you think 4chan will be remembered in decades to come as the very core of the internet? The eternal engine that never stops? Will we all be forgotten?
Every day brings us closer to death.
>>338692007
Liberals used to argue for vidya, now it is the reverse.
Liberals wanting censorship and having extremist retarded views, and the conservative against it.

4chan seems to be more adolescent in its humor in the past, now its a lot more edgy.
>>338692287
He's talking about how 2000 seems so long ago, yet is farther apart to CURRENT YEAR than something that seemed so far away.
It's a reminder of how time goes so fast and how fast we age.

We need a Genghis Khan figure to unite not only the boards, but the anonymous imageboards as well to one.

I won't be making it to that point, I'll probably be killing myself in the next 5 years. I don't want to see the next decade, it will be even worse than this one.
>>338688251
I wasn't born yet.
Remember the 4chan BBS text boards? Those used to have a shitload of old ass threads. Sometimes I'd browse /games/ just to see what people thought back in the day with no knowledge of what happened today.
>>338692287
>Cleopatra lived closer to the building of the first Pizza Hut than the building of the pyramids
>>338692557
The only way to do that would be to buy and then liquidate all boards except for one. Do you have an extra few million bucks to blow to assemble a horde of memespouting tards?
>>338692149

>>338692761
It's weird. In 2006 I never thought this would be a site I would visit daily and spend hours on. Then once I realized I did I never thought I would still do it in 5 years. At one point I was sure that the site would shut down in the near future. Now I'm afraid I'll still be posting here in another 10. I just fucking wish this place would shut down.

I actually don't remember the last time someone said you win the internet without sarcasm.
>>338693441
Sometimes I forget this was mainly an anime site at one point. But damn those post numbers are so tiny compared to today... How long will post numbers be in 5 years? 10 years? I guess it doesn't matter though, most of us will still be here after all.
The earliest images I have are from '06, sadly.
>>338693021
i sort of caught it via uncyclopedia/encyclopedia dramatica, back then i was afraid of getting hacked or something by posting here
>>338692848
thats what i notice. we're all such cynical fucking pricks now. whenever someone makes a post, people are immediately suspicious about their intentions, whether they be trolling/shilling or what have you.
>>338692965
its because you can't say what you want on other sites like gfaqs without getting banned for stupid shit.
>>338693687

>>338693854
Well, wasn't /b/ always shit, just less shitty than today?
>>338693945
Current 4chan has a majority of newfags.
Newfags commonly act overly-hostile in a poor attempt to fit in. That's why you see literally any topic conceivable turned into an argument and personal attacks hurled amongst one another 24/7.
Sad state of affairs.
>>338688825
You'd not have that opinion at the time. Nothing wrong with emoticons, namefagging or memespouting at a time when it wasn't perceived as, well, stupid.
Anyone have the old tripfag tier list?
>>338694132
Saw it a few days ago again, didn't save. Sorry
>>338693851
One day moot will be like what Snacks is like today, a legend of the distant past, and those "literally who" jokeposts will become reality.
>>338688251
Holy fuck that is amaizing.
Look what can happen to a ceritan place in internet if kids are coming in.
>>338693709
That's what I did too, but I guess reading it on a site like that just isn't the same as experiencing everything while it was happening.
I miss slowpoke. Probably my favorite meme and he's permanently dead.
>>338691284
Big business realised there was a ton of money on the internet so it had to be gentrified and removed of all risk. Why do you think internet harassment and cyber vawg get so much traction.
>>338688825
you'd be posting O RLY? image macros with the rest of them, don't kid yourself, kid
>we pretend it was better in the past
oh fuck off
>>338694132
Shit tier:
All tripfags
>>338694101
Yeah, but is it better to be overly-hostile or reply to every decently clever post? Though I wouldn't miss the shit-flinging arguments honestly.
>>338693827
>ZOMG, IS DAT SUM TOUHOU?
>>338694267
yeah my favorite thing was a post where a guy waited an entire year to reply with a slowpoke
>>338694364
They should lurk for a certain amount of time until they become accustomed to how to construct a quality post.

Most of you fags were not around in that time. Nor were you here nearly ten years ago. Fuck off, you preteen faggots.
Is it just me or does old /v/ sounds like what reddit currently is? That weird unfunny innocent humor is the type of shit you see on leddit now.

>>338694720

Truly my greatest regret. If I'm lucky one of my old IDEs might have one, but I'd have to get a station that actually takes IDE.

I always used to be scared to post my year in threads and was underage ban at one point. Now I still feel that way even though I am 23 and it's been 8 years this February.
Lots of people have been saying 2-5 years and that honestly scares me.

And this is why I'll never enjoy this board or most boards on this site cause you faggots and kids have decided to give a literal term for what was a normal conversational attitude between anonymous people. I fucking hate this millennial term and I hope you all die for making it exist.

So a few months back we had a fucking excellent series of nostalgia threads back to back for like an entire day. I was one of the OPs for the second or third one. I said it then, but I'll say it again to all the oldfags, you're alright. We've been here on this godforsaken site for a long time now. I wouldn't change the years I've wasted here with you all ever. No homo. Raspberry heaven 5ever.
>>338695858
There's no going back. Only pain now.
I'm newfag, can someone explain why tripfags were okay back then and now get shunned almost instantly?
>>338695813
I kinda miss the old SA style of moderation with an iron fist to get rid of idiots. Sure would fucking help get rid of all the meme chasing kids on /v/
>>338695946t-thanks

i really wish they'll come back because 4+4 chan and the others are slow as shit.
>>338695951
Early 4chan was full of SA anime posters, so they carried their names over to shitpost with.
Then more and more people came not from SA and it stopped. Simple shit.
Jesus... I have a bunch of thread screens but it looks like mostly /b/ shit. I'll see about posting /v/ specific ones.
>>338695589
/b/ has literally been nothing but a misc. porn board since 2011. non stop gay threads furry threads etc. Not even kidding. Threads that belong on /h/, /d/, /e/, /y/ and /u/ (guess /aco/ now too) litter it up.
>>338696070

hasnt that always been the case on this website?
>>338694465
You got the full length one? It's better
>>338695951
Because back then user names were the norm and people used them out of habit. Overtime, tripfags gained their reputation and people just wanted to say dumber shit without it being linked to them.
