Can any oldfags or originalfags tell me how the Sup Forums community used to be like back in the site's early days?

Less limits, a bit less fags showing their family goods.

It was shit, like it is now. Sup Forums was never good.

>tfw 9 years counts as a newfag

> Oldfag
> cheese pizza
> finget box

Those were the days

Yes, but it was a different kind of shit back then.
And it damn sure got shittier since.

It does

dats wong: instead of originalfag it should state BLACK MAGICIAN

Cancer came in 2008

the same but slower so it was easier to find the good shit and not have to go through a series of shitpost all the fucking time

The community was infinitely less kiddish back in the day.

and maybe less trolls trolling trolls whilst being trolled by other trolls trolling some more trolls on the side whilst being trolled for trolling trolls that trolled all the trolls

Why doesn't the scale move along with passing years?
It makes it seems like a grandpa bitching thread.

Somewhere between 06/07 though. Never actually been "Active" on the site.
I post here and there every few weeks. So lucky you.

Let me guess. You first came on December 31, 2007.

Thing that kills me is when a genuine camwhore starts posting and I have to skip like 50 posts ahead for the first 'tits or gtfo'.

...

Like raaaaiiin on your wedding day

that image is cancer

Thing with Sup Forums is it used to be genuinely relevant. A hive of scum and villainy but also a hive of utter hilarity. Now it's just full of idiot children and the collective IQ of the whole place doesn't even top out over a german shepherd.

this shit was always a cancer
sage

Kek

we used to be more hyped about stupid shit (mostly memes). Maybe because we were younger.

This is sadly true

Sup Forums used to be a lot slower. You could post a new thread, and it would still be around hours later. This led to a fantastic collaborative meme generation ability we've long since lost. Someone would post a template image and other anons would fucking run with it for hours.

Million gets were huge deals.

We scared our first "queen of Sup Forums" right the fuck off the internet.

>Why doesn't the scale move along with passing years?

Why can't I remember shit that happened before I was born even though I get older?

Found the triggered cancerfaggots

I need to leave this place if I remember all that


Where is girugamesh though?

in my book
i have it right here

well, its a shity 'interpretation', but ya know how this goes

like SHIT

>2010 = Cancer

Is it alright fot the normies to lurk?
They might someday 'de-normify'

Found the actual newfag

kek

no
an hero now

More raids, Cheese Pizza, OC. Less /soc/ bullshit, rate mes, YLYL, Trapfaggotry.

No trap threads

Less fags

About the same amount of dubs threads

More epic breads

Occasionally mods would do something

About the same amount of le memes

Triggered newfaggot

UHM GUYS IT'S 'A HERO'
HOW FUCKUING THICK ARE YOU? JESUS WHY DID I EVEN COME TO THIS WEBSITE ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>;CCCCC


PS GUYS WHY AREN'T MY EMOTICONS WORKING!?!?!?!?!

>We scared our first "queen of Sup Forums" right the fuck off the internet.

oh boy, I remember that.

With my limited time here as a newfag, i couldn't agree more.

There was a lot less spam, less trap threads, and less spiderman threads. It scrolled slower so people could actuall have discussions in a thread. There were more leaks/ epic gets, roll threads, and stuff you weren't supposed to see.

also the trolling was a much higher quality. I would say at one point this was a college aged board with college aged tastes, now it's closer to 3rd grade or middle school in it's nature.

...

oldfag ere can confirm, slow scrolling Sup Forums was best Sup Forums. There is no community anymore because it's just a mess of spam.

don't you think they should make like three more Sup Forums boards so the scrolling would decrease we would be so happy

Been here since 2006.
Normies are cancerous, yes, but it's highly conditional. Someone could be completely cancerous and still post the troll face and 'le memes' while the others could actualy know SOME ammount of the culture.

All I'm saying is, not all normies are cancerfags. If that makes any sense.

I blame raids. They were fun, but brought the spotlight onto us. Suddenly, everyone had to be in the super secret club. Personally, I felt the biggest changes here during the IRL Scientology raids.

Yes, chanology and the habbo raids were full of fail and aids.

ITT: poseurs

Really, boys, it's an anonymous site; no one thinks you're cool.

penguin raids= god, social activist raids= cancer that killed Sup Forums slowly

Who was this "queen of Sup Forums"? What did the community do/show to her?

very different but most of what kills it today is actually the size and amount of users.

I have seen this happen before with other communities, when it reaches a certain size new people enter faster than they are able to understand the norms and ways of the community and in turn they change it, usually for the worse simply because they latch on to the things they notice and in their desperate attempt to belong or in a stupid attempt at contributing they exaggerate and overdo the jokes, get validation from each other that they mistake for validation from the site itself and all this just create a bad downward spiral.

nothing to be done about it.

a few times you see some of the lost glory here and there and that is the only reason I come here anymore.

>9Gag/Reddit = Gaia/Newgrounds
>being an edgelord was more tolerable and fedora-tipping/being a loser/etc was more acceptable.
>it was probably a couple hundred to a thousand of us circle-jerking on Sup Forums
>constant fear that it would turn into what it is now

I dunno it was just the one place we could go to sperg out, discuss things, meme it up, and generally avoid normies. The quote that always gets posted because it sums it up best is "Sup Forums was never good, but it was never this bad."

2008-09 I think I started coming here. Was pretty chill, there was a lot more shit people were getting away with that mods ban now.
I was pass through a ddos thread once, turned out to be when all those credit card companies got flooded for like half a day and came on the news the next day. Was pretty funny.

It's a sad old story. knock it off.

Too many eyes are on the site now so not as much crazy shit can go on anymore.

These times. Meh.

not today, too many of them are active users, the lurkers have too many shitheads to learn from to be able to return to the old ways, not to mention one of the biggest problems is simply the numbers and the amount of traffic the site gets, it is difficult to have any kind of community when it all gets renewed so fast.


threads that people like even die before people get a chance to post because there is too much traffic.

back in the day a thread could sit for hours until exploding, waiting for the right people to make something great out of that content, today those thread more or less simply die before those people who might be able to make lulz out of it get to reply

Good old exploding knees days

Originalfag here. I mostly lurk and rarely post.
Sup Forums has always been shit, but it's much worse now

what if we wrote an email to Hiroyuki to make more random boards and we pledged to advertise saying we want more boards who likes this idea

hello grandpa

It has always been shit right from the start, there where no traps though which was nice.

2012-2013 cancer fag reporting in

lurking is god tier.
not always have the strenght to resist posting tho.

>mfw just defined the nature of life and consciousness

lol, what would that accomplish?

Just 2012?
I came here last month.

Holy shit guys, just found an archive that had Sup Forums threads from 2003. The amount of faggotry that is nonexistent is startling. web.archive.org/web/20031008225412/http://img.Sup Forums.net/b/imgboard.htm

making Sup Forums better like making a rule saying no bannana cancer or sumo sally shit actually get OC
lower refresh so we can actually have conversations

thanks

i came here today for the first time and i don't see what all the fuzz is about. anontalk is so much better.

This pic is true no matter how hard I resist. I can't not lurk at least once a day.
I feel ashamed to use le reddit now. I don't know what else to do though when every single thread he spirals out of control everytime

old fag here i remember back in olden days when awesome memes like harlem shake came out. good times bros

I'm an oldfag and I gotta say I wish we could go back

Lol. The more frequently you come to Sup Forums, the more you'll realize 99.9% of it is trite shitposting, and the other 0.01% is actually anything interesting.

youtube.com/watch?v=Yavx9yxTrsw

some advice LURK MOAR LEARN OUR CULTURE

ridiculous. trolling has always been like pissing in an ocean of piss

uh, do something else? life actually continue where your computer screen ends you know

should be the first post every time. also when did we stop calling them cumdumpsters?

no, when our enemies tried to troll us, it was like they pissed in a ocean of piss, other people really hate it when they get piss on their shoes and food etc, however, we are used to it

when we trolled them it was as if the gates of piss opened and everything in its path got drowned in piss

yep, that happens
not a big deal

newfag

Yup. Its hard for me to believe that I still keep coming here for the past 13 years. But don't blame Sup Forums users, the internet itself has changed. its more accessible than it ever was and people are using it as a social media instead of a tool to share information.

Sup Forums is just a place for newfags to show up at. they don't see anything on 9fag or leddit so they come here to feel edgy after school. why is there no good content anymore you ask? well, what kind of content do you expect from a bunch of under8b& faggits who have their favorite jewtube channel star on the next tab?

no man in the old days trolling was a art

Shut up retards i earned my title oldfag ive been here since 2012 and my clan tag is OLFG

fact

What people posted back then would be considered cancer now. There was a lot more OC. Less people posting a picture of themselves, though you had the occasional person. A lot more weeb shit. It was just different, wasn't really all that better besides there being more OC.

Sup Forums was never good

what annoy me more is that everyone screams "tits or gtfo" without knowing why and how it was orignally used.

now a person can ask for female input, and the sorry girl that replies gets fucking chased out of the thread by pre-pubertal autistic morons without ant social intellect at all

while in the past it was reserved for attentionwhores who gladly would give up their self respect for attention and thus deserved the mocking

now we are just scaring chicks away and making this into a fag-fest without limitations.

the biggest difference between old and new is intellect, the new is crowd controlled while the old was based on critical thinking.

>a
Your bait is worst than you neck beard

>the old was based on critical thinking
really?
that sounds like the myth of a Golden Age, that kind of stuff: a dream and nothing more

monkey see, monkey do

so basically the word "new" in "newfag" doesn't mean shit and these kinds of words actually are kind of like generations? Is that it?

Yea.. I remember the time baby. The good old day back when we trolled faggots and made the queen of b flee the internet haha. good days bretheren

Your retarded

I started coming here in '07, but didn't use Sup Forums til '08. Was mostly on /gif/. I'm a newfag, but I'm glad I'm not a summerfag or cancer.

hey white nifght

Hai you guise wuts erp wunt to fuvg
