I used to post on 4chan when I was in high school in the early 2000s. it started going to poo poo shortly afterwards so I ended up spending more time lurking on SA, ED, YTMND, Newgrounds, all the other typical nerd haunts. 4chan was never :airquote:good:airquote: per se, but in its heyday it was like a mad science lab of internet culture where everyone was constantly spitballing, some of it was funny, nothing was off limits, and thread turnaround was fast as hell so you could have a good time just browsing the constantly shifting mass of insanity and shitposting. then it became a thing where everyone started just parroting poo poo instead of trying to make original content, to the point where the existence of the mythical original content became a joke in itself, and then came lolcats which heralded the death of what meager value was left in that culture

i found sa and lurked way early, i want to say i found out about the forums thru an everquest guild in like 2001, but i lurked/barely gave a poo poo, and 4chan felt like it kind of had that kind of creative energy that made SA worth lurking and reading, but with no $10 cost + the need to hide from the ire of blue and red stars that not only banned people for missing punctuation but seemed to legitimately get off on it.

so i'd been posting there like a year or so when i regged here.

Yeah it was pretty good. Stupid but good. I wanna say it was worth its negatives until as late as 2011 or so, but moot was a loving moron for letting /int/ / /pol/ fester, since that is ultimately the mistake that's given us what 4chan currently is.

Those shitbirds are super revisionist over there and think it was always like it is now, but it's really not. The thing is, everyone who posted there in its heydey is long gone and left it to a bunch of baby nazis with a bunch of culture artifacts that they don't understand/constantly misuse.

I would have liked to have seen moot just close 4chan when he was done with it, but I understand him wanting to cash out on the years of misery that place must've inflicted on him, especially towards the end when he realized he incubated the birth of crypto nazis was probably not a great feeling.

well moot's a pretty big piece of poo poo himself so it's hardly a surprise he took the scumbag route. my favorite Moot Moment was when he set up some lovely site that was basically a lovely Pictochat in your browser and was convinced it would be the New Hotness and change internet history forever much like his previous magnum opus, 4chan, in which he installed some existing image board software on a web server and watched teenagers burn it into the ground. getting put on the TIME inflentual persons list broke his loving brain

He was 15 when he made 4chan and he tried to do a business venture that failed who cares.

Maybe 10 years ago 4chan could have been considered obscure or niche. When I hear references to 4chan on American Horror and mainstream media like the Daily Beast then I don't think it's the well kept secret anti-social nerds claim it to be.

Yeah people really dont realize just how crazy it was back then to have such a torrential volume of evershifting stuff. It was like distilled adhd. The death of oc was sad but people trying to make memes solely to try and create memes instead of just trying to make funny jokes naturally was the biggest sign imo.

It's weird going on /b/ 10 years later and seeing the same jokes and threads, even the same porn will appear sometimes

It's like a time capsule, but then you get really racist threads.

I think 4chan is a bot training ground used for MKULTRA. Lots of blacked porn, tranny porn, porn emasculating men, cuck porn, gore. All these common threads that keep popping up trying to influence the people who visit that site. Then you realize that people are young kids going on that site, if some of the threads are real, they are kids having trouble with school and common everyday life.

Like if you mapped out what topics are posted on /b/ I bet you'd find a pretty obvious bot pattern.

With moot gone and 4chan's transient nature, it left itself open to revisionism. 4chan's been dead since 2012. All of the internet started to turn poo poo around that time which may have made it inevitable anyway.

Dating myself but what is the deal with tik-tok? I thought it was a Vine replacement at first but it is...not. YouTube keeps showing me ads for it but the ads aren't very good because all I can garner from them is that tik-tok is 1. loving stupid and 2. 90% 12 year olds.
