Oh the nostalgia in this thread is great. Seeing all this crap again from my years of lurking. I also never new Lowtax was patient zero for the meme epidemic infecting the Internet. I will just assume from now on that everything terrible online somehow started with SA or Lowtax. Stop ruining the Internet!

I could totally see this wending it's way through social media with increasingly strident outrage for a week or two until people find out its a Photoshop.

Lowtax posted:Back in 2001 or whatever, I decided to add vB code that would automatically post an "image macro," which is what the KIDS THESE DAYS call "memes." As far as I know, we were one of the first forums, if not the first forum, to do this. This makes me very sad and ashamed to admit there's a possibility we are responsible for the wasteland of internet meme poo poo we currently live in, but hey, here's all the original ones that kicked everything off (as far as I know): The OP is alphabetical order. Anybody else notice this?

I never got why somebody would give their book about WWII oddities a name that would alienate almost everyone old enough to be interested in a book about WWII oddities.

gender illusionist posted:how's about a 56k warning next time? cripes, you guys are assholes 56k not without my daughter Thanks, image shack! (Wow we filter out that word haha) Image macros are still legitimately funny. Image memes are not. Finding a picture that perfectly expresses your message was part of the magic; slapping some dumb text on the same old pictures over and over isn't funny. It's shorthand for storytelling, which is fine - but again, not funny. Yes, I have opinions about image macros.

What are your opinions on animated image macros? A great expansion on the original, or a terrible waste of precious phone data limits? They've been around for a while, but they just keep getting bigger and higher res.     http://i.imgur.com/0xIVKU7.gifv http://i.imgur.com/cY3YfXx.gifv http://i.imgur.com/QpxnOl8.gifv

I can't believe I've hung on to some of these for so long, or that any of us ever considered image macros so funny.

i'm glad modern memes say "human being" less, as a rule. it's important that we as goons do not perpetuate the myth that homosexuals are necessarily bad posters. e: i posted basically this like 9 days ago and why the hell do threads stay up longer than a week anyway.
