The /pol/ infection to other boards (/tv/ especially) has been too loving much lately. I'll probably lurk/post there til hiroshimoot fully runs it into the ground/scams everyone like he did with 2ch or whatever. Sunken cost fallacy or w/e I've been there since like 05 lmbo

ishikabibble posted:Actually 4chan did do a charge for membership thing. You can only make a post like every thirty seconds or something and you have to pass a "I'm not a robot" captcha, but you can pay for a pass to let you skip both the post timer and the captcha. There's also a /vip/ board or something for paid only members. Or there was for a while idk. fuckng hilarious how all the 4chan silver/gold/whatever membership memes became reality w/ 4chan pass

At full force. this Also one could argue it was the beginning of the end and a big part of what spawned the monstrosity /pol/ became tho tbh I hadn't been visiting /v/ very much during that time so I can't recall just how bad it was. I do remember it spilling into other boards tho like /tv/, which is sad b/c as a general rule of thumb /v/ has better threads about tv and movies and /tv/ has better threads about video games They're both two of the worst boards on the site tho. I miss when /v/ was just /b/2.0

The funniest thing imo about the Habbo Raids (which were fun af and I'll never deny cherishing my memories of kickin open like 5 habbo tabs back when my poor 17yo rear end was still on dialup) is for all the swastikas, and what 4chan has become now, the raid actually started b/c mods on habbo were banning people using black avatars and for like 5 hot seconds it was an actual protest before it devolved into human swastikas and closin' the pool because AIDS

Twelve Batmans posted:That gets swallowed up by the tide of white noise and poo poo-posting and forgotten with everything else. It's just for as much as people complain about /pol/ I've found it far less invasive than when MLP got huge and every forum drowned in it. I just don't think 4chan is the fascist-recruiting station everyone makes it out to be. I agree with this, mostly. I think the truest cancer of /pol/ is a. it gives people a safe space to be shitheels and b. a lot of kids browse 4chan, and even before /pol/ was a thing there was a pretty clear shift from 'ironic' racism and bigotry to a bunch of kids who used to only post in the summer posting all year round and taking poo poo way more seriously than it should ever be taken on 4chan. Just because not every poster on 4chan agrees with /pol/ (and many of them tell the nazis to gently caress off when they're making GBS threads up other boards) doesn't mean it's not bad imo. Definitely overstated. But it's bad in different ways than just 'nazis being nazis' and imo is more bad in the sense of normalizing that behaviour amongst younger people on the internet which just lets the lovely bigoted beast grow rather than shrink away in its own corner of the internet. if that makes any sense lmbo. I'm high af Anyway phoneposting is what truly ruined 4ch before /pol/ made it worse

m00t should have gotten rid of /pol/ before it turned into something too big for him to actually purge he was too busy wanting to be the little girl tho smdh

/pol/ is the main reason I only really browse 4chan if I want to read the general for a big show, like I always go back to shitpost during /got/ season or w/e /pol/ is a fuckin cancer and lmbo if moot wasn't man enough to purge it then jmoot def isn't b/c he's a scam artist who prob only cares about trying to squeeze some cash out of the site before he is ousted or it goes under

I have a weird legacy of being fondly remembered on /tv/ and it pleases me tbh. I used to be affectionately called /tv/'s bargain bin Sasha Grey which is still one of my fave compliments tbh That's my other 4ch story.

doxxing was a thing on 4ch long before /pol/ so it's never gna truly go away. But it didn't used to be malicious (overtly malicious, that is. any doxxing is dumb and bad even if you're doing it for a 'good' cause or what the gently caress ever) 99% of the time like it is now. /pol/ is cancer cut it out or burn the whole thing down or both

Prav posted:the current vogue of doxxing always looked like a twitter thing to me It's just a lovely internet in general thing imo. Xelkelvos posted:What about Doxxing nazis? Opening anyone or their families up to that sort of harrassment is bad and gross unless you're exposing a literal pedophile or smth imo e: ^^ doxxing is always malicious but I mean 4ch didn't always go against people they simply didn't like or w/e, they'd try to expose bad people or w/e not unlike those who think it's ok to doxx people for being shitlord racists

Xelkelvos posted:Nah, they totally went against people they didn't like. Harassing DeviantArt weirdos was definitely a thing. I wanna say Chris-chan was part of the old wave of loving with those sorts and his particular response spiraled into what it is now. I never said they didn't go against people they didn't like. I just said it wasn't always doxxing for shitlord reasons and a lot of the time they doxx'd people anyone would consider bad. /pol/ turned it way worse. My point was just that the raids were more varied than what people think of them as, especially now. i mean poo poo there was that couple years where 4ch was rallyin hard against scientology rather than just harrassing people they found cringeworthy the CWC stuff was waaaay beyond just being a 4chan thing. there was an irc channel (hell may still be) just dedicated to coming up with ways to ruse him and they weren't all people from 4ch, prob a lot of goons there too
