Control character abuse on irc.

Church of the Subgenius. Praise BOB, fight the conspiracy and its dupes in real life being as well as being wierd as possible and having lots of superior mutant sex.

The term "trolling" was around looooooooong before Sup Forums popped up.

When did Sup Forums pop up? I just registered recently here

Fidonet.

gentoo

December of 1997, it was one of the earliest websites to be featured on yahoo's webportal.

With newsgroups.

People did shitpost already thousands of years ago, e.g. in pompeji with chalk and a wall.

Be amazed at how little things have changed.

You can compare them to actual memes

tits or gtfo
> Secundus says hello to his Prima, wherever she is. I ask, my mistress, that you love me.
autist about his waifu
>Lesbianus, you defecate and you write, ‘Hello, everyone!’

>To the one defecating here. Beware of the curse. If you look down on this curse, may you have an angry Jupiter for an enemy.
Old version of "reply to this post or X person will die"
> In one bar, a picture depicts two men playing dice. One shouts, “Six!” while his opponent holds up two fingers and says, “No, that’s not a ‘three’; it’s a ‘two’”

Humanity has been shitposting since forever, Sup Forums is just a small part of a repeating cycle.

Imagine the shitposting of the future.

Came here for this. I never get tired of this.

>I.2.20 (Bar/Brothel of Innulus and Papilio); 3932: Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!

3DPD BTFO!

>I.10.2-3 (Bar of Prima); 8258, 8259: The story of Successus, Severus and Iris is played out on the walls of a bar: [Severus]: “Successus, a weaver, loves the innkeeper’s slave girl named Iris. She, however, does not love him. Still, he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye.”. [Answer by Successus]: “Envious one, why do you get in the way. Submit to a handsomer man and one who is being treated very wrongly and good looking.” [Answer by Severus]: “I have spoken. I have written all there is to say. You love Iris, but she does not love you.”

Sup Forums is babby-tier brainfarting compared to the brutality of Usenet. Now that was shitposting.

Fucking kek.

BBS, IRC, forums, basically everything that said.

Kek

Set bait
Analyze the resulting psychological projection
Repeat

newsgroups and irc
"shitposting" of the kind you're referring to didn't really exist, at least not in large numbers, until well into Sup Forums's run, though.

>(House of the Citharist; below a drawing of a man with a large nose)

So they Jew shitposted even back then eh

Humanity hasn't changed a single bit in the last two millennia. Good to know.

>IX.8.3 (House of the Centenary; in the latrine near the front door); 5243: “Secundus defecated here” three time on one wall.

MUH WAIFU

They did not "shitpost". "shitposting" wasn't coined until the mid-10's, and I'm sick of someone using that damn term because it really shows their nature.

I believe the term you are looking for is trolling.

...

AKSHUALLY, the term trolling was invented in the late 90's, the term you're looking for is "joking"

>not everyone is out to get you

>VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1824: Let everyone one in love come and see. I want to break Venus’ ribs with clubs and cripple the goddess’ loins. If she can strike through my soft chest, then why can’t I smash her head with a club?

A true man.

Fucking newfag scum.

Absolute mad lad.

TRUTH TELL, "joking" made 1700 century! Term you find, we call "force confuse"!

"Shitposting" has been around for ages. People have been making low quality "posts", such as , since the dawn of time.

>two thousand years from now, a bunch of outcast AI stumble upon the archives of an ancient "website" called Sup Forums and laugh at long-forgotten forms of shitposting

By writing letters.
Dijkstra did write quite a few programming shitposts.

take your dumbass stormfaggotry antisemitism back to Sup Forums you mouth breather intelligent people are trying to speak on this board.

This oldfag gets it.

>t.alan dershowitz
If we wanted to hear from you we'd slip you an Ex-Lax.

Only a straya would

I literally only ever used gtaforums and irc

Newsgroups turned into a hive of scum and villainy once any dipshit was able to create a group. The lack of any real moderation outside of plonkfiles and block lists made wading through spam and garbage insufferable. Binaries groups were surprisingly good for porn, vidya, and oddball shit like hentai games.

This is true. But man, early 90s Usenet, before Perpetual September (the predecessor to summerfaggotry) was coming at you from all directions and really defined my adult self.
