So I'm somewhat new to Sup Forums...

So I'm somewhat new to Sup Forums. I've been here 3 years now but all I've seen is people complaining about how Sup Forums used to be better. Can someone please explain the differences between then and now?

More raids.
More content.
More active community.
Better general direction.
Most of the founding community and to a lesser degree their social offspring have left the site.
Most grew out of it or lost interest as the community declined.
Now Sup Forums is just an edgy place for teens and neets to gather. Some people still visit in the original spirit but a pretty good portion are just angsty teenagers trying to outdo one another on the internet.
I do miss the old Sup Forums, but there's too much surveillance and we made too big of am impact for the board to ever be what it was.

Thank you based user

Lmao that's my local station. I remember when all that happened here in Rva. Was funny shit.

>Can someone please explain the differences between then and now?

There were never faggot/dick/trap threads before about a year ago

I remember never seeing those. Trap threads occasionally, Maybe 2,or 3x a week. Not every hour of every day.

>Cant scroll without seeing dick and balls/trap threads, now
>community used to be a lot more cynical
>did raids
>OP's delivered way more

The worst thimg to happen to this place, is when they finally figured out who the guy named Sup Forums, was. Not we're overrun by fags, and edgy teens. I only come here now for old times sake.

it was much funnier. the humor was pretty deranged, but there were some genuinely funny and clever anons. not that i spent a huge amount of time on Sup Forums, but it was definitely a place i could rely on for some twisted humor once in a while.

i don't think that most people on here now "get it".

like 90% underages now, even though theyre supposed to be banned. admins dont really give a fuck about this rule

Drug and stoner threads have all but disappeared, leading me to believe the reason why is because the place is now infested with 14 year olds who cant even get drugs

make a drug thread user

>More raids.

wasn't actually a big thing iirc.

there are a lot more 12 year olds obsessing over dumb unfunny shit like the log threads and just more lame summerfaggotry in general

>what is habbo
>what is reddit
>what is anything that would give us giggles

It's not much different except for the russian botnet trolls which hijacked the occupy movement a couple years ago. Never expected the trump thing though and of course no one believes me until it's obvious I'm right. I hate being right all the time.

Coming from someone who has browsed Sup Forums since '06 the humor has changed. First it was something along the lines of what Reddit is now with unironic LOL and xD ROFL. Then it changed a bit to humorous youtube videos like Robot unicorn attack, puddi puddi, dong copter pirate and other things, then more board humor, finally resting in anti-humor where everyone acts like everything isn't funny. Sup Forums used to be what Sup Forums is currently in that people would actually post things that were somewhat funny. Instead Sup Forums is a breeding ground for people who just want nudes reposted from /r9k/ and shit that either already has it's own board and they are too stupid to go to the board, or people who just want to post here because it's easier.

tldr; you're better off finding another board because old Sup Forums is dead. All the activists moved to Sup Forums and all the meme posters moved to Sup Forums.

Only reason why I'm here is because I'm looking for more Muslim reaction pictures and wanted to see if someone had a thread for them.

reddit wasn't nearly as big as it is now, and i wasn't even aware of it back then.

"raids" were uncommon. i don't even remember any raids, aside from the famous habbo hotel incident, which i was not a part of.

the good ol days

This place used to actually make me lol
Now it's just another porn depot

People used to be creative and clever
Now it's all "which girl b? left or right?" or "tell me what you would do to this girl"

The fuck is that retarded kiddie shit?

ive been here since 2012 and people back then were saying that it used to be better

not to wax nostalgic too much, but the level of some of the humor was far above what most people would understand or relate to.

Old fag here. Circa 2005.

It's as terrible as it's always been. This place is a wretched hive.

Actually, from what I've seen, Sup Forums raids were fairly common, but they were usually very small scale. Raids like Habbo were a rarity.

Ur crazy, there were as many raid threads as there are cuck threads today.

Not all of them were "epic win" and i didn't participate in all, but they were comparable to YLYL, where u drop in and someone has bought like 5premium accounts and anons made similar names just ruining a myfreecams girls life, especially date text to voice donation, cheapest donation possible with the most boner killing, gutteral sentence possible

my memory is hazy. it was a long time ago. people would do simple prank stuff, but it didn't really matter. there were a few ugly incidents, but for the most part it wasn't a big deal.

kind of makes me wonder who those old anons were. it some of the stuff here was truly avant garde, but i was mostly just a lurker.

I seem to remember more variety in the threads
Sup Forums has been almost completely filled with the same porn threads and shitposts for a while now
because there was more variety in the threads, there was more of an opportunity to stumble across those nuggets of gold that actually funny or good content are
with Sup Forums becoming basically another general board the nuggets are few and far between, you wade through shit to try and find them, and when there's nothing there, you long for when the times were good
Sup Forums has faced the same problems for the 8 years I've been here but they've become particularly bad the past few years

People would say "call x and ask for y" all the time. Sure they would do gamestop and ask for battletoads, but then you had some gems like calling pizza hut and ask if they have meatloaf pizza. It's just a different time.

less members - less cancer

people thought more about what they post

through tripcodes it was at least semi possible to communicate even after the threads 404d

way less moral and social

not every webm was blatantly copied from youtube / more oc

less repetitive content (dubs, rolls, ama, ect...)

it just felt more like a community

not nearly the amount of gay content that is posted now

>It's just a different time.

a different time indeed. i don't think many people here can appreciate that type of humor.

Was much more creative...OC was a pretty regular thing...no repetitive cancer..."Creamy log"...."Girlfriend wants niggers am I nuts?"...and it was a lot of the times genuinely, hysterically funny....now just a lot of permavirgins trying to outdo each other in the badassery department from the safety of their parents basement...

*fewer members

>Ur crazy, there were as many raid threads as there are cuck threads today.

i don't think that's true...

What exactly is a summerfag? I know they're just edgy teens that hear about Sup Forums that come in the summer but what really defines them
