Was "The Vidya" era the golden age of Sup Forums?

Was "The Vidya" era the golden age of Sup Forums?

Yeah.
Too bad rulefags and redditors mods had to ruin it. God I miss 2009-2012 Sup Forums.

eh

The golden age of Sup Forums was when the average user A) didn't visit reddit B) hated WoW for the shitbag that it is C) didn't fawn over youtube celebs like mathemewtosis D) /vg/ didn't exist

So it was The Vidya.

dunno about point D. at least it got Katawa Shoujo threads off here.

The golden age of Sup Forums is now with all the shitposting it's never been so funny to see losers get upset about their sacred board quality and their sekret clube getting exposed finally.

>>>/games/

>tfw noone posts babby anymore

RIP text boards

not video game related

>2012 newfag reporting

How was Sup Forums in 2009? I can´t figure out how this piece of shit could host anything remotely interesting related to vidya.

>/vg/ didn't exist
You are clearly new. /vg/ is a CONTAINMENT board dude. Just like /mlp/. Just like Sup Forums. Its there for a reason. Have you ever even fucking been to /vg/? Its literally just ERP.

>NEW THREAD #349
no fucking thank you

I was here in 2009 but not Sup Forums. The site was very cringey... and people were flooding in because they heard about anonymous and wanted to be hackers, and people thought this place was the darkest corner of the internet and stuff. It was a terrible time. The best recent time was 2014-2016

Nice plug-in for mathewmatosis ;)

>Thinks there's actually shitposting now
Just goes to show how new you are.

There were no mods so it had a lot of fun non vidya related threads and less console war falseflagging threads. Then rulefags complained and Sup Forums was ruined forever.

Huh?

.

>best recent time was 2014-2016
I hope you're joking

2011 was peak Sup Forums:

>TORtanic/Bioware shitstorm in general
>First VGAs hype
>Ace of Spades
>Shazbowl
>Pre /vg/ split
>"Fun is a buzzword"

Dude, it's a joke pasta. Did you really never seen that "people were flooding in because they heard about anonymous and wanted to be hackers, and people thought this place was the darkest corner of the internet and stuff" shit in any board?

You don't really know what vg is for, do you? Try another answer because that one is wrong.

v never actually hated wow. You must be pretty new to think a time like that existed.

>that time the mods changed the background to a giant babby image
I never really found it funny before but I laughed my ass off for a good 3 minutes when I first saw that

tortanic was possible the worse thing to ever happen to Sup Forums, and afterwards Sup Forums just wanted to see the next tortanic

fpbp

I thought I was the only one that noticed how horribly wrong something went in 2013. Don't know what the fuck happened that year but something changed. Suddenly COD and Halo threads were accepted for example.

Also miss the days when there was a lot less moderation on Sup Forums. Shit was fucking funny.

I’ll never understand why people like shitposting.

>The site was very cringey... and people were flooding in because they heard about anonymous and wanted to be hackers, and people thought this place was the darkest corner of the internet and stuff.
Won't lie. I'm a 2009 newfag. When I first found Sup Forums I did indeed think that I had become the final boss of the internet. Jesus christ lol.

I was such a fucking meme spouting newfag normie back then, spouting the memes to my best friend. Little did I know you faggots would take my innocence and turn me into a miserable old fucking man.

then I don't understand what the fuck you're doing on this website. even if you don't shitpost, literally 98% of the website is shitposts.

>video game threads were allowed
Wow. So terrible.

>come to Sup Forums around 2007/8 for Sup Forums like a lot of people did back then
>try visiting Sup Forums one evening out of curiosity
>dismiss it as a boring, porn-free version of Sup Forums and disregard it entirely beyond the semi-yearly visit until long after it was ruined

>ywn relive old Sup Forums where daily feet threads were allowed

I'm talking about 2006-2010. Sup Forums didn't start to have generals on it until reddit started to get big
/vg/ was necessitated by so many redditors using the board
Sup Forums did hate wow after BC, and rightly so it was a auspicious beginning that rapidly turned to shit.

Peak Sup Forums was 2006.
Constant original content, sony fags marginalized, so they couldn't destroy conversations, actual video game discussions, Kotaku was only known for being slow.

why do fags constantly whine about the state of this board? i came here during the elections in 2016 and i've been having a fucking riot since. every day brings me new laughs

Also you had a staff that cared about the board. This was stickied, and it was a glorious thread you will never know of because we didn't need archives back then, it was a 'you had to be there' situation, or hope for a screencap.

This is bait. Nobody respond to this person.

>that brief comeback babby had for a day or two

i can't believe how PC and pussified the moderation has become in general. everyone gets banned for saying mean things and you're not allowed to speak freely any more. bunch of sissies and girls run this shit now

>he responded to it

>Golden age
>No one mentions 'Japan Time'
NEWFAGS ALL OF YOU.

...

Because the userbase making off topic threads about farts are innocent.

...

2011-2012 was peak Sup Forums and you can't convince me of anything otherwise.

For the last half year before /vg/ was brought about, every other fucking thread was a LOL general or some other bullshit. It was sorely needed.

What we didn't need was /vr/, as now both that place and this are shitholes.

Moot says 2007 was Sup Forums's golden period. I feel bad because I only started lurking then.

>(Cross-thread)
You're doing it wrong.jpeg

It was peak Sup Forums because you weren't here before that.

life is way too long. why is there no off button. I cant do this anymore

It's a thread about the "largest amount of shitposting", says a lot

>tfw you've never updated your bookmarks

>tfw u were here when Sup Forums was just getting started and had a userbase of like 50 ppl
the true golden age

Man, having only ever hung out around Sup Forums, I'm not sure I can agree.

2007 Sup Forums was entirely about shitting on the Wii and CASUALS and $599 $599 $599 $599 TALLADEGA NIGHTS FEAT. CHAD WARDEN

yeah
GALO SENGEN

...

...

i still think chad warden was brilliant, and got an absurd amount of attention for what was essentially just a satire on retard fanboys

spamming ps3 has no gaems 24/7 was so much fun.

I never seem to find a reason to

2006 was pretty good.

thanks doc

>Suddenly COD and Halo threads were accepted
I prefer modern Sup Forums, where most threads aren't even about video games.

Quests were nice too, before Moot had to be a fag about them.

That's complete bullshit though. Generals shitting up literally half the catalogue wasn't a good thing. Fucking Sup Forums is cancerous to browse because of generals and needs a /gg/.

They now have a whole dying containment board to themselves.

Guys i fix'd the home page

Sup Forums was always shit, but somehow got even shittier each year

Newfag here. Was Andy the same guy as Andrew Dobson? I'm just saying this based off of the names and the fact that Andy gave Peach giant man hands.

No, it was "El Vidyo".

But back in reality, its the fact that Sup Forums now has a population thats about 30x the size of back then.1-5 off topic threads back then no problem, but it would be 30 off topic threads now if the mods don't delete them. There is literally a new off topic thread made on Sup Forums every 5 minutes.

...

Thanks GG

Halo was always allowed here, newfriend. We had Custom CE games back in 2009.

>GG
>not fappening
every time. why do newfags always pretend to be oldfags?

old Sup Forums was go-

And the SDF made things even more fun.

They were both bad, man, but GG hurt Sup Forums worst specifically since it set in motion this politics obsession that infects this place

>implying
There's no fucking oldfags left
I've been on this shitpit since 2007 and will forever be a newfag

Are you crying because there's no fucking wojaks, pepes or goldfaces? I'd kill to have that back

...

I think a few namefags being civil and talking about vidya is better than a shitton of anons screaming about the 2016 election but that's just me

Fuck off faggot

Is the issue here that they're talking about a thing you don't like? Or the names?

ps3sux

I have severe memory issues, I don't remember when I came here, I feel like I've always been here, I don't remember anything really, I just spend all my time here posting about things I barely understand.

I wonder if I was here in 2009

I wonder if I was here in 2004, I remember SA but I don't know if I posted there or how I would find out.

...

-od

I hate this place

We all know who killed Sup Forums

They were both August 2014 and the one he mentioned is specifically related to this board you faggot.

This

We need a second Sup Forums harbor.

In recent years you could pin the blame on Reddit for literally anything and anons would go to extraordinary lengths to prove you right

Literally nobody fucking cared about Reddit until Shazbowl at which point Sup Forums crossposters lost their goddamned minds worrying about it and Sup Forums began its slide into not being able to shut the hell up about that place ever

Is 2018 the absolute worst year so far for Sup Forums?

True.

yeah we all know, and it aint your boogeyman.

one of the best ways to find newfags is who they blame for this board's downfall

Before the alt-right Sup Forumsredditor invasion.
