Any oldfags care to have an intelligent discussion about what went wrong here? I have a few theories but alas I'm always just stuck on the fact most oldfags left and I'm the only jerk who stuck around.

"you either die a hero, or become the next facebook".

what are the theories?

No one uses triforce anymore

I'm 52 m8 been here since 05 it's like anything else. You have the good old days and that's where they stay. It mostly like that in life, unless you're a super rich playboy. Unfortunately most of us settled down and live cucked lives.

trap treads, FB fap, dick rate treads,ect ect.

moot fucked off when it was discovered he is a cuck but before he did he went on a tangent and let the sjws fuck the site over

memes

Img size limit.

the mods don't delete the shit thread, The shit threads come from Sup Forums becoming well known and somewhat mainstream. Also every poster is underage. Looks at any "Faces of Sup Forums" thread. Bunch of fucking faggots
>inb4 you're a faggot too

I've only posted here maybe 5 times in the last two years

Well I believe once b was exposed in the national media a lot of edgy teens rolled in and pretty much flushed us out with their unoriginal content, horrific memes and such. I think it was just too much to handle for most. You could say around 08-10 is when it really went down hill. But I can remember some fun times in 8 9 10 in that order. Then it pretty much just went to hell.

no, you're a faggot for even opening those threads
faggot

you don't have to open it to see the underage baby faces you homo

Sad but true

this.

It's ok sweet child if you work hard your life will have meaning. Note the post said oldfag discussion. Now fuck off cunt.

Newfag here. Exactly what was so great about Sup Forums in the good old days? My first exposure to this place was maybe 2013. Never been a frequent browser until this year maybe.

Too many trap/fag/diaper/furry threads
Now Sup Forums is shitposting loudly all over the whole site as well
I honestly wish Soros would buy the site and just shutter it, let the autists see if they can survive anywhere else

The government switched something making the internet seem literal and serious.

I was gone for years came back to check out Sup Forums because I had seen them in the media. Wtf is the deal with all this KEK xD shit?

>browser
lurk more friendo

I first found Sup Forums is maybe 2011 Even then when it was starting to go downhill, it was still like the wild wild west. It's a shadow of it's former slef

and where did everyone go? I've been on here for a damn decade off and on checking out the edge, now it's just shitty pol arguments... Christ i'm in my 30's now. Where did it all go?

wild west.
>imagine seeing hardcore CP threads being alive for longer than 15 minutes.
its a place where people could truly say or do anything.

I've been here since the fall of 08. Not sure if that makes me an old fag or not, but people who call themselves old fags have been complaining about this place since at least 08.

I like this site. Gives me giggles and dinger tingles. If it sucks so bad then just leave.

Yeah this pretty much explains. Honestly nothing noteworthy has happened here in the last 6 years pretty pathetic.

I think people get tired of being called a faggot and want some actual discussion then they leave. They either leave entirely or go to Reddit or a deeper imageboard.

Nah I lurk too much. I am usually the one saying "Lurk Moar!"

So what, is it just that the cp is less frequent? Is that the only problem?

>b

Fuck off newfag

also there were actual good Ops and doxxing going on. Sup Forums could actually work together and do something. Whether it be doxxing a kid who was stupid enough to post too much info of himself or put some cunts in prison for animal abuse, Sup Forums could coordinate for something back then.

its not about cp.
its about how something as disgusting and highly illegal as CP being not immediately banned.
now days you cant even post questionable non-nude (candydoll) pics without being auto-banned.

mods on Sup Forums were very hands off.
plus Sup Forums was known as the internets asshole.
shit posts like /soc/ threads were rare

Now the mods delete any doxxing threads

dsfargeg

when they had to make /soc/ just to put away the cancer in its own container, you knew Sup Forums was dead.

yea this place sucks now, pussy generation.

pretty much.
(i literally was typing this out as i saw your reply auto-update.)

I've been lurking here since I was an underage faggot, almost 10 years now. For the first 3 or 4 years all I did was lurk Sup Forums then I moved onto Sup Forums and then I really began to explore the rest of the website and make more than just shitposts. For a year or two I avoided Sup Forums completely but I hop in every now and then to see what you faggots are up to. Sup Forums was never good, it's worse now than it ever was before but don't fool yourself into thinking that this place was any kind of good in the past

Many went to 7, 99, 8, 420, and other chans. Some also went to boards like Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, or other related boards. Others stayed and became Sup Forums fags. Much of us moved on and still lurk from time to time, adjusting to normal life as much as possible. Some others went to more /i/ based groups that still raid for the lulz, but understand what went wrong the first time and avoid being seen and publishing who they are.

I think you could make Sup Forums better, but mods have a lower tolerance for raids and whatnot. Search for twitch raid threads and the rare good OC thread or make your own. Things aren't so bad to be honest.

this sums up old Sup Forums
Sup Forumstard sees his younger sister posting tits for other Sup Forumstards.
instead of being upset
he gets on Sup Forums and lols about it while posting proof.

The main catalyst for Sup Forums becoming trash was the Chanology shit and going after Scientology. Instead of doing stupid shit and having fun, people took this place seriously.

I think a lot of people just left after the Milhouse meme incident. Or got jobs.

I think the old fag generation just saw the internet differently, it was a place too troll and have fun.

The internet went mainstream and its ingrained through social media, who , people seem too take seriously.

Social media has brainwashed people into thinking what is said and done onlind is important and serious.

The newer net generation can't troll.
Also Sup Forums mods are pedos.

Eh. Anonymous Official. Don't look to them as your patriot in shining proxy armor.

8 years later I still feel this sense of mysterious sensation and disgusting curiosity. It's like every time a 13 year old finds out about us, an oldfag comes back, or a newfag with seriously tasty OC enters the picture. You take the good with the bad I'm saying. did OC ever actually exist though?

And there aren't rules here to be taken serious. They're more like guidelines at this point. I could be wrong though, right?

I can fuck around and be stupid here at times, but I've also had serious anonymous discussion here that I appreciated.

>Also Sup Forums mods are pedos.
Then why they always 404 them threads talking about cheese pizza?

Sup Forums mods are pedos, I just got a 5 minute ban for posting a YouTube link which they claim was CP related, anyone who sees anything sexual in the below is clearly a pedophile.

youtu.be/5b0-FFAf9Eg

ya know niggas fap to shit like this faggit no wonder you got a ban

all the people who were willing to do and act out on the public like us old fags either went to jail or has given up on how lame this website has gotten. ive been here since 05 and i dont even know what im doing with my life anymore.

Holy shit, you pedo scum! You better be fucking glad the pedomods are here. A 5 minute ban? You needed a permaban for that shit. Look at his molesting hands all over that infant. I hope he ends up in prison for this.

On another note, people don't all just decide at the same collective time to do the same thing at once. A few anonymooses thought of an idea to fuck with some racists and scientologists and others thought it was a good idea too.

You know who you have to blame for that if that is what you believe what turned this place on a shit path.

its the traps and summer fags who came and never left and when the real anonymous Sup Forums tards left to be all political Sup Forums lost any real power to be effective

I bet if that was a woman though no ban.

I mean, like hell. Banned over a fucking YouTube link. I give up I'm going to 9gag.

yeah, because advertising pulls a profit
and what does anonymoose like?
the same shit mods are obligated to ban
then we think, 'what's going on? hurr durr?'

they're lucky we like to eat our own cum to hentai and animated fan art porn

>The oldfag generation just saw the internet differently, it was a place to troll and have fun.

I don't know any other way.

To their credit, I think newfags tend to understand this though, just through a different perspective. Oldfags didn't feel the need to articulate why censorship is bad or what the collective ethos was and I guess that's a part of the difference. We/they did whatever fancied them. Not that we wouldn't argue what was "anonymous" back during chanology but now you have much more plurality of viewpoints on the internet and a strong contingent of people that would love to shut down any opposing viewpoint.

Green frog meme

>I bet if that was a woman though no ban.
Women are held to a higher standard, being the moral backbone of society. If it were a woman, we all know you woman-haters out there would see her stoned to death in the street for her transgressions. And you better believe you would have been banned, probably the deserved permaban in that case.

well theres that and also that Sup Forums was never good.

I remember one time I tried to show a friend Sup Forums and the entire 1st page was old men having gay orgies, that was a really awkward moment.

youtube.com/watch?v=pA8DdkM2Wqo

>so that when you have to turn you flip your car into a barrel roll

fucking old cucked fag!

Been here since the beginning.

Anyone who says Sup Forums was never good is lying about being an oldfag.

Oldfag = 10+ years

Okay faggot, give me your "Make Sup Forums Great Again!" plan.

...

what does 8 years get me

There is no plan. There's just a new generation of kids that have taken over what we started, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Different interests, different humor, different life experiences.

That's just the way the world works.

Nothing "went wrong". Sup Forums has always been cancer. It is a containment board to keep cancer from spreading to the other boards as violently. I only come here for a particular thread which will not be named.

I don't use the term newfag unless I'm trying to piss off a 10 year old.

I appreciate anyone who can stay in one place for extended periods of time. The adolescent generation these days can't focus on anything anymore.

Oldfags grew up and became cranky republicans, sJWs moved in and painted rainbows everywhere.

the creation of high bump template threads is what I think killed Sup Forums: waifu claiming threads, you ___ you lose treads, porn threads, ect...
because said threads could be recreated with little effort they were created frequently driving away most of the original content.

I'm a newfag though so i'm probably retarded

I did. The former.

agreed. Cancer is always evolving. Let's try and contain this shit to b/ ecause there's still some fucked up shit on this board.

If this isn't spot on IDK what is.

simple
we have to get rid of the mods
i really need to delete this Sup Forums folder.
i havn't added to it in 5 years

ore kanojo no ohachi ni muriyari irekondara, mo tengoku datta ze !

now im growing old and the imageboard life has changed.....

Then I guess we should blame phones and materialism.
80HD gets you money

shit man I busted a shit load to those 5 vids, I'm nostalgiaing really hard right now...and fapping

HEY
I ain't been gone for too long. BUT, we make sure that when we leave, things won't change toooo much.
We need to supply the newfags with ideas and content. They gotta know where they came from.
>cough cough *webm* cough cough
>ACHOO!
>uggghg

All the old fags miss all the CP that was here that they jacked off to.

And I wander on looking for a better water hole but b/ wets my beak.

We could always become like 8chain and spend our entire lives bitching and moaning about mods and a lack of """freedom""". Go over to 8 Chan and see how that worked out, because I can tell you from experience, that's exactly how it died -- freedom-fetishists and various other types (super autists) who could not cooperate with other humans.

Sure, we could moderate this catch-all board a bit more, but there will undoubtedly be autists (and I mean that in the most literal sense) who will pitch such a massive hissy fit that it will eventually return to exactly what it was before, if not worse. I suppose this is why Sup Forums was, and never will be... good.

Since '07
Nothing is wrong, it's a reflection of society. More have access now, the bar is slowly being lowered. Somewhere along the way we stopped trying to become better and started making everyone equal, despite the fact we are not.
If anything is wrong it is a symptom of this.

>youtube.com/watch?v=J3SlEc059EI

Maybe the coolest material and smartest minds moved on to better opportunities.
This board is like a high-school pep rally. Kids and adults in one space they don't want to be together with in.

yep

>finally, no more cd's skipping... - *connection lost*

Social media becoming popular was the final nail in the coffin for Sup Forums, now its just /soc/ with anime
