Is it possible to have a semi-serious conversation about Sup Forums as a whole and it's decline?

Is it possible to have a semi-serious conversation about Sup Forums as a whole and it's decline?
Maybe something about Eternal September (or Summer) and when we passed that point (I think it happened way earlier but we only felt the effect years later)?
Maybe it's subversive and sometimes direct influence of social media? (I feel Sup Forums is partly (unintentionally) responsible for this short attention span meme culture that we have these days.)

I guess I'm a cancerfag. Would like hear from anons from around or just before the newfag period like 2006-7.

(It's not about fixing Sup Forums, since it's permanently broken, just the why and when)

2010 newfag here ama

the cesspool i guess ,heard about it from a friend

When did you notice a decline?

Why did you stick around? Cos if I entered at the cesspool stage I would've left straight away.

doubt im an originalfag but oldfag for sure. noticed a decline whenever they put xxx over the end of post numbers to kill roll threads. that wasnt the cause of decline but it was the beginning of the end. death was imminent when rate my dick threads were running rampant and then just porn threads after porn thread. its like no one even wants to create any new content. all the longtime lurkers left. i feel like there is a userbase shuffle that goes on every 3 years or so where a vast majority of people cycle out, only to sporadically return to Sup Forums and say Sup Forums was never good.

>noticed a decline whenever they put xxx over the end of post numbers to kill roll threads

Never saw this, so I'm guessing it was before my time.

>having the troll faces in opposite order
>no winning charlee sheen
>no gay frog signaling the end of the good times
fook off.

IF you aint the solution then your part of the problem

when it first got on mainstream TV back in 06

Cancer didn't really set in until Gen Z era (2010~)

...

Shit started down hill in 2008 with cos and when we blew up a white panel van with our hacking skills on faux news.

>thinking people don't start posting here until their teens
by the time they're 18 they're lurkers, most shitposters aren't actually of age, and are usually just a bunch of newfag tweens.
hence why calling people newfags was so popular
sadly this place was sold out to shillfucks, and so we ended up with the shithole that is modern day 4chin
fuck you fix the fucking troll faces, they're backwards.

also ledditors came at the same time as tumblrinas.

>they're backwards.
They arent
First it was Green face, then EFG,then vendetta, The second LE EPIC TROLL face is a derivative of troll face

2006 or 2007, I'm not sure which.
The decline started in my opinion around the scientology thing.

I'll probably get dog-piled for this but the newfag era and the beginning of the cancer period was the best era.

Felt like there was infinite potential seeing memes being recognised all over the place.

Newfag era had its merits and wins but it was the downfall.It got more popular and more things were comming up in the news about that hacker Sup Forums that drove people here.
Cancer era was just that, pure unequivocated cancer

...

>Cancer era was just that, pure unequivocated cancer

Yeah, but it's so much worse now.

As of right now i have 142 threads filtered out.Its common to even have 150 threads filtered when i have free time.Its pathetic as fuck.Same 5 people posting bbc shit same 1 guy posting log shit,cocks everywhere.I honestly dont even know why im here anymore.

I'm from 2005.

I still like Sup Forums.

This so much
>as a newfag though oldfags were somebody
>that feel when almost an oldfag and still nobody

>142 threads filtered

What the hell does that catalog look like?

Not him but also cesspool

Nowhere else to chat about muh loli animu and other degenerate tier topics without moralfags.

Oldfag checking in. Discovered Sup Forums back in the glorydays of 2006.

Gunna hide all these too

>no post election
somebody should fix that

Sup Forums is a rotting corpse with no chance of revival. It's all just a symptom of the internet going to hell altogether with all the normalfags and corporations. Get ready for HTML5 DRM next because W3C decided to be absolute cunts.

now its just all gay porn threads lol, but hey at least newgrounds got the fuck out

I came here about 2005. Honestly can't tell much of a difference other than mods interacting with us less. Memes are also more lazy. There use to be a lot more oc, people making shit in Photoshop and drawing. Now people just take already existing pictures and slap some text on it. It used to happen back then also (demotivational posters) but a lot less with more variety.

Can I be an honorary oldfag if I lurked SA for years before coming to Sup Forums?

>newgrounds
Haven't been there since they were able to release a game on gamecube. WHat's it like now?

>It's all just a symptom of the internet going to hell altogether with all the normalfags and corporations.

Yeah, I noticed how all the social media sites and apps started going down the shitter around the same time Sup Forums finished dying.

>people who started lurking a decade ago are newfags

get rekt you old faggots,it takes roughly 3 months to immerse yourself into this cesspool websites culture

>3 months
Thats the problem.

You know how when someone dies, they void their bowels?

That post-death shit runoff leaked into social media and got absorbed

>You know how when someone dies, they void their bowels?

I did not know that. Interesting viewpoint nonetheless.

But seeing memes all around reminds me every single day of my sad life about how Sup Forums got filled with shit and became what it is now

Postmoot/Cancerfag here. I've tricked many people into thinking i'm an oldfag simply by researching 4chans history and digging deep. Most newfags appear to be lazy underage cunts looking for there quick fix of "dank memes".

>But seeing memes all around reminds me every single day of my sad life

You should've invested your time in one of the blue boards based around something constructive they're actually pretty good. Not sure if time has run out for you though.

I occurs to me that 'meme' no longer actually means meme. Certainly when I started browsing back in '07 my understanding was that a meme was something that was commonly understood by the community, but wouldn't necessarily make sense to outsiders.

Now? Every normalfag and his mum will pull up their phone "hey look at this meme I found" and it's just a shitty random image with a text overlay that doesn't even compare with the Advice Animals. There's no culture to it, as shitty as the original culture may have been.

The word is meaningless now.

The three word that describes this era:

Inauthenticity, homogeneity and monetization.

2007 here. I called the decline and eventual death of Sup Forums when Boxxy threads were all over the place and normalfags started finding this place. I'm surprised this site is still around and I basically only show up still to hear about its permanent demise.

>Haven't been there since they were able to release a game on gamecube. WHat's it like now?
The standard for animation and gaming has gone waaaaaaaaaaay up so things are going pretty well.

>Sup Forums got filled with shit and became what it is now
I mean it was always just filled with general porn, it just got really bad in 2007 and Sup Forums never really recovered. I think that was also when people started shitposting trap thread here? Shemales and traps have become a normalized fetish now (inb4 its gay, yes it is, it is very gay) so Sup Forums has become filled with traps. People have always been insecure about dicks but camera phones weren't always so easily around and photos weren't so easy to transfer. Now that everyone has a smartphone, everyone posts their dick because they want someone to tell them they're not a failure at life.

Also if you're bothered seeing memes because they remind you of Sup Forums try to remind yourself that there was a point of time when mentioning memes outside of Sup Forums was the most cringeworthy autistic shit you could do. Holding that kind of strict disgust towards anyone who ever brought memes to fb makes it really hard to stop hating them.

p.s. some annoying shit i have been seeing:
op can't inb4, pls stop inb4ing in op
if op inb4s in op tell him he cant inb4

>Implying Sup Forums (especially Sup Forums) was ever good

This desu

OH HOO HOO HOOOOO I POSTED IT AGAIN
A SINGLE 7 POST SCREENSHOT BETWEEN ADMINS FUCKING AROUND
AAAAHHHHH HAHAHAH HA HAH HAH AH HA HAH AH HAH AHA
Sup Forums WAS AWLAYS SHIT SEE, SEEEEEEEEEEE

>People have always been insecure about dicks but camera phones weren't always so easily around and photos weren't so easy to transfer. Now that everyone has a smartphone, everyone posts their dick because they want someone to tell them they're not a failure at life.

For some reason I never put two and two together on that point.

> Shemales and traps have become a normalized fetish now (inb4 its gay, yes it is, it is very gay) so Sup Forums has become filled with traps

That was almost inevitable. I mean, if man has no pussy, he will make pussy. Similarly, if man has no attention, he will seek attention. Sup Forums was ripe with attention-seeking virgins. It was almost bound to happen at some point.

Normalization happened in the end of the cancer years though, I think.

Oh, why hello thar, wats goin on in this thread?

Sup Forums was never beautiful. At its best it was a butterface. Now it's declined to the point of a skid mark left by the Hartley sisters

Was that a poor attempt at trolling or did you miss your meds?

>post jimmies
>think he is ironically trolling
You are what is wrong with this site

...

Just keep reminding yourself it's just a fetish and nothing more. It's a flavor and it passes. The reason 4channers like traps is because they have a hard time getting pussy. Once you start getting vagina on the regular, traps are a lot less appealing...

epic fail guy is younger than walk the dinosaur pastas

God damn that ad is cringeworthy, not that Japan isn't an interesting place but weeaboos that are almost obsessive rub me the wrong way

I've always found it bizarre that traps and Sup Forumstards that have taken over seem to co-exist peacefully.

Come on man, weeaboos helped build Sup Forums.

trapfags just took every insult they threw at them. They called them fags, they called themselves fags, they called it a mental disease, they started titling threads mental disease thread.

He's got a point, you know?

originalfag right from the fork off SA in 2003

Originalfag checking in. Back when everything was really gay with 4 boards and moot wasn't a cuck.

Yeah, but like there are misogynist threads, racist threads but no tranny hate threads. But whatever I'm digressing too much.

>moot wasn't a cuck.
MOOT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CUCK

>4 boards
Sup Forums Sup Forums and /?/ /?/

I first heard the word meme by outsiders and it still disgusts me as the first time i heard it
Boxxy was still good
By shit i meant too many people
Tried investing it in r9k
>tfw didn't worth

I'm talking about the obsessive weeaboos, nothing wrong with liking Japanese anime/manga/food etc. I'm talking about the kind of weeaboos that form an anime club and have much of their life revolving around Japanese culture almost exclusively

I wanna say /d/(hentai) and /y/(yao)

>Tried investing it in r9k

I meant, like /ck/ /cgl/, blue boards centred around constructive and/or social things. Too late now I guess. Those boards can literally break off or migrate to another forum with a less arse-holish base.

>/d/

They had /d/ from the get go? Now I get why moot was banned from SA.

>I'm talking about the kind of weeaboos that form an anime club and have much of their life revolving around Japanese culture almost exclusively

Dude, those obsessive weeaboos are doing pretty good in the current climate. If anything people who are wasting away on a dead forum are the losers here.

(I understand your sentiment, but it doesn't apply in this day and age.)

Borderline Oldfag/Newfag

It was around 2006-2008. I was underage so I don't remember.

It's horrible now man. I hadn't been on Sup Forums in seriously 2 years. I've been back maybe a month and 99% of it isn't OC.

I live for the tarot reader and the sloppy OC still. You can't beat anonymous LIVE raw discussion and "roll play" (nothing else to call it)/creative story creation is always solid.

I'm here for the creative unique stuff. Memes wore off in like 2010.

Yeah I feel old, and I'm not old.

Am I still an oldfag if I knew about practically every fucking thing Sup Forums did like 2006 onwards and knew all the site culture but only came here 2 years ago?

No.

You came to a rotting corpse.

I forgot. Is that the correct filetype?

I LOVE JAPAN EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE FUCKING COUNTRY BEFORE!

Yes
efg is always 400x400 gif 3kb

What is this even for?

newfag detected

Yes I am.

Did you just start using Sup Forums yesterday? No really even postmoot fags like myself know about Epic Fail Guy. YOU FUCKING CUNT.

I'm a cancerfag and an SA lurker, i have more right to be here than you.

>log shit
I like the log posts

...

Oh boi SOmething awful u muisst realyl klnow you5t shit fag.

Imagine Andy Sixxes hot creamy logs slidding down your fucking throat. SO FUCKING HTO U FUVKING CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNT. I AM GOING TO RAPE YOU.

started coming here around 2013. Guess I'm cancer. Cool, just like my horoscope.

Finding Chemo

Do you also enjoy the musical stylings of nails on a chalkboard?

You do you, not my business. Didn't even say I hate them just that they make me cringe

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

HAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOL

Lulz

But who was phone?

Not him here
I may be wrong, but they did a few things at the time that had Sup Forums in an uproar

>Posts ending in XXX

Yeah, that actually happened. Doubles and roll threads were spawning every 15 minutes by this point, so naturally the herd lost their shit

>No longer censored the words Nigger or Faggot

At the same time moot implimented dubs and trips killing, he took the word filters off Faggot and Nigger. They used to filter to Candy Ass and Roody Poo respectively.

>Killed off names and ID's on Sup Forums

In an attempt to stop circlejerking tripfag threads. ID's and tripfagging is still possible on other boards of course, but they actually HELPED on Sup Forums if an OP started a thread and kept us updated. Once they no longer could, threads with OC derailed fast as fuck with replies of "i'm OP", "NO I'M OP" and nobody could prove shit.

This is why there is no OC anymore, just traps, cucking, black cock and andy sixx. This place was never good, but it was better than it is now.

>coupon dumps!

I miss those. Use your get free monsters and beef jerky. The free xbox360 coupon for walmart almost worked

youtube.com/watch?v=daE8VZt71c0

And the worst part is they brought IDs back for a limited time before removing them again.

Pretty much the only changes I remember being positively received were the addition of reply tracking and auto-updating.

Remember the shitstorm when Captcha first arrived? I miss the captcha comics.

Coupon-kun is in prison for fraud. And the other posters got spooked
Thats why you never see them anymore

>And the worst part is they brought IDs back for a limited time before removing them again.

I was there for that. Wonder why they were removed.

Was the 15-pages also a limited time thing?

Yeah it was, I'd forgotten about that. Never was quite sure why they did that.

it began when people spread the "secret society" across facebook and leaked the true form itself.
It was no longer a secret place or haven i guess, not that it could be a haven because i mean it is Sup Forums the cesspool of all things deteriorating and extra spicy lewdz.
>TLDR when m00t didnt care it died. long live Sup Forums 2006

Oh I remember that shit storm well, brother. And ID's appearing for like a week I think? Before they vanished again.

Reply tracking and auto updating are great, absolutely, but why add new features to something that's dying.

Moot was a faggot. He couldn't handle the monster he created.
