We was having a nice discussion about why Sup Forums is so shit now too.

Bring back Snacks

Yep it is all cancer

Cancer threads are popular, who are those horny creeps?

Faggots have their own boards
Porn has its own boards
LGBT have their faggy boards
It's a shame race discussion/BBC/religion and other cancer does not have their own boards.

If anything needs banning it's all of the above and then some. Sup Forums needs to return to being random but for years now it's been a constant shitstorm of generals and the same shitty, uninspired reposts.

poop boys

>when you hit update and every single post on the front page is shite

Malignant cancer is possibly the best metaphor. Sup Forums has always had tumors, they just grew.

I've been here since 2005 and it's exactly the fucking same.

One thing that really winds me up in life is people saying "things used to be better" and while it isn't exclusive to Autistic people, it's a trait that is normally present and much worse if you have Autism.

It's the fucking same as it always was. What has changed apart from minor little things? What was so "great" about Sup Forums back in whatever random year you're referring to?

This, exactly. It was never good, ever. I think people have nostalgia about certain types of threads or certain raids or whatever; things that may have been more prevalent when they first came here. Aside from that, I don't know man.

>no cuck threads
>no pics you shouldnt share
>no ylyl
>no yryl
>no generic y*y* threads
>no racepushing threads
>no sissy threads

should i go on..?

It had creativity and originality. Sup Forums is well known for the birth place of many memes. I've hardly seen anything of worth in the last few years. Shooping threads are pretty much non-existent.

Sup Forums has about a seven month cycle from peaking to the coolest insightful threads to shit shit shit. With the holidays coming in, the scene is bottoming out. My guess we'll see an upswing between Christmas and New Years.

There is a reason this board is nothing but porn now.

All of the newfags drove off the creative oldfags with their bait folders.

I may be wrong but there are threads up that are often literally the same shit over and over again, even responses, I got the impression that a few years ago there was at least a bit more creativity and more original thoughts
Then again maybe that´s just how I remembered it when I was new

The 2 MB file size limit is certainly a bad change and has ruined the quality of some threads.

In general though, its just changing from one set of general threads, memes, spamming, and copypasta to a different set.

People remember things better largely out of nostalgia. When they see the memes/threads that were here when they first came to Sup Forums they like that. The new shitty stuff they hate. Kinda like generations where the old people hate the new trends because they liked what it was when they were young.

My general wish would be that mods/janitors would delete multiple threads. We don't need 8 dick rate threads and 5 girls you know thread. The amount of spam threads is pretty sad to see to. You can tell nobody cares.

>a few years ago there was at least a bit more creativity and more original thoughts
Not at all. The past had different 'same shit over and over'. You remember it more fondly because it was all new at the time

>ever present demand for proof on a board dedicated to fiction

This.

ive watched this place change for 10 years, there was different content, i think it was better. simple as that.

to say this place is the same as it was in 2007 is absolutely retarded.

Rules ruined Sup Forums

Certainly there have been gradual changes and some quick changes. Going that far back that seems obvious. I think at some point the traffic massively increased which helped ruin the quality.

However, take any random year from from the last 5 and its just changing one set of reposted stuff for another.

The exception is when the horsefuckers hadn't been banned from Sup Forums. That was easily the worst time I remember for Sup Forums.

Boo fucking hoo; cry me a river.

That was actually one of the best times. It was fucking hilarious watching all the faggots get butt flustered.

What's your filter lists look like anons? I've got 32 blocked right now, seems about average.

moot picking the wrong side during Gamergate.

The core of Sup Forums oldfags moved to infinity, leaving this place to be overrun by reddit.

A shit ton more than that. I am continually trying to hide nigger, trap, sissy, Andy sixx, chubby and all manner of threads that generally just piss me off.

I hated more that there were endless redundant threads at all times. Yeah there were the people angry that anyone could like that stuff. I thought it was a shitty meme at first. Having 30 threads all for the same topic was terrible.

Infinity was fine for about a year, then it became another shitty Sup Forums. Hotwheels had it going nice for a short time.

Wish I could teach it to hide images. Anything kik/facebook/twitter/snapchat would all be gone.

Anything I'm missing?

I have not been here for a very long time, I think I started browsing these boards back in 2012.

But even back then I felt excitement while browsing b, now I’m just here every now and then to.

I’m really curious to see the percentage of reddit users on here.

nigger. nigga, white bo*, slam pig*, athies*, believe in, Trump, America great...

The vast majority of people here browse both and pretend not to.

I wonder if there´s anything left after that

Ooo, thanks those are good ones to block.

I didn't say it was never good, I've always personally enjoyed the utter shit posted on here!

You're mis-remembering if you think those things haven't been around for at least 10 years, probably more (the early days are hazy for me).

Assuming like me you've been browsing here since 2005ish, that's TWELVE FUCKING YEARS. You're remembering several golden threads from that entire time, and forgetting the millions if not billions of threads that were total shit. Like I say, rosy introspection, the old "things used to be better in my day" shit you hear dumbfuck old people say, forgetting there was war, and rationing, and disease.

I agree multiple threads the same is annoying, in fact, lots of the shit people are complaining about is pure cancer - sissy/trap shit, dick rate threads, YLYL (which has never made me laugh in over a decade, despite me finding loads of shit on Sup Forums hilarious), and all the rest of it. My point is it has ALWAYS been like that.

>"I think it was better"
> fails to give any examples of what was "better"

The autism has remained consistent as well as the content.

Just think of all the keywords and phrases that trigger you basically.

...

...

Whilst true to some extent there were regular threads that contained some fun shit like the shooping memes and caturday was a real thing back then. It spawned an entire internet trend (and stolen memes websites). I could drop in daily and find something fun or interesting. Not anymore. The board moves too fast now for a creative thread to get going. Even gets no longer work like they used to and this was when we didn't even have a fucking captcha FFS.

...

im not misremembering anything, everything in that list didnt exist in 2007.

an example of what was better is not having those threads multiple times a day, every day.

What the fuck is even up with YLYL threads, they all get spammed to death everytime with the same posts
Is it just bots at this point?

Trap threads, cuck threads, and pedo threads.

Those are the things that make Sup Forums absolute shit now.

It was more chaotic. SPamming was constant. But generals were considered fucking gay. The only generals we had were raid/doxxing threads but those got banned. Basically the goody two shoes moved in when moot got cucked by his SJW GF and promises of better things to come if he toned down the site (making his job application to Google along the way). He sold us all out.

I agree it's bad that shit was stolen and ruined by "normies" but that's life. There's still plenty of niche shit on here. If you don't find it interesting or funny anymore, that's a problem with you, not Sup Forums.

Well unfortunately I'll just have to agree with you as burden of proof is on me to provide evidence and I don't have a screenshot of Sup Forums back then.

I'm sure in my defence there are plenty of people who do remember 2007 and can attest those things did exist, assuming their autism doesn't get in the way with the "no, no, things are so different now!" shit.

I would argue that pedo has always been a staple of Sup Forums. But trap etc was less posted. Old Sup Forums hated faggots. Furry Friday was a thing but also hated. Now it's just a normal general every fucking day.

I've no idea.

My issue with YLYL is it's always been full of people trying too hard. Most of the humour on Sup Forums is random shit, hence Sup Forums. If you're actively trying to be funny, and you're autistic (as most people on here are) then it's just embarrassing.

Crying wojaks are the worst meme can we at least agree on that?

There was maybe 2 or 3 pedo bullshit threads in a day. I remember. It was one of the reasons 7chan and their /cake/ was made - the pedos didn't see it enough at Sup Forums so made their own website.

I remember when the real bane of Sup Forums was the constant furfag garbage (though there was no separation between gay and straight, it was all just lumped together in one thread). That was... 2007/2008? Somewhere in there.

OP used to deliver

I've never seen pedo shit on Sup Forums. Questionable stuff, but nothing that has made me close my browser in shock/disgust. This place would have rightly been shut down years ago if that was the case. This is not some secret website, it's one of the most popular sites on the internet.

Maybe it was the case in the very early days but I'm talking the past 10-12 years or so.

Most of the time it's been the sort of stuff that makes retards shout mods nowadays - legal shit but just a model who looks young.

In the past, Sup Forums was counter-culture.
Now Sup Forums is pop-culture.

So, yeah, it's different.

>The autism has remained consistent as well as the content
rework the sentence with with "quality of content" and you got your answer also too many anons have talked about Sup Forums

the pedo shit is fbi honeypot
Lotta activity recently

look man, YLYL, for example was NOT a thing in 2007, or 2006, or 2005 - it is a (relatively) new phenomenon.

god damn i hate the burden of proof bullshit being used as a scapegoat to devolve an argument as if its some universal shutdown button of debate, i appreicate that you anticipated me saying that because im sure 90% of Sup Forums would meme that at you

>I've never seen pedo shit on Sup Forums
you're clearly newer than 2010. Before that fucking pizza threads were everywhere.

I might be misremembering but I'm pretty sure YLYL was a thing in 2007. Maybe not earlier - I wasn't here earlier than that, but I can't remember a time that it didn't exist since I've been here.

Yeah, but it seems like they are instantly spammed after being started and there´s one every time as far as I can say.
Why the fuck would anyone even start a ylyl thread

Err, I was saying burden of proof was on me.

Normally people say "no, burden of proof is on you, you can't provide evidence that I'm wrong so I win" which I agree is bullshit.

I'm admitting defeat to your claims because I accept that I cannot provide evidence.

Or is that what you're pissed about? You're annoyed I'm letting it slide because I can't prove I'm right?

If so, that's very odd, but admirable!

Mods had a more relaxed attitude back then. They would laugh with us. Not at us. They would delete and ban threads/posters simply because they felt like it. Whilst some other threads that clearly should have been deleted stayed up for hours. It was chaotic, interesting, creative and above all fun. LULZ were had.

Today there are no LULZ.

I've been around since 2005 ish. Never seen anything you wouldn't see just clicking around thumbnail gallery porn sites at the time.

Maybe I just got lucky and never saw a thread like that before mods killed it.

yes the latter, it annoys me greatly that people feel they can shut down anothers ability to debate by memeing about burden of proof when there are many approaches to debate that can be taken.

ive seen people talking about burden of proof in hypothetical situations and it makes me want to shoot up a school with pens and books so we can learn to communicate properly

Fucking newfag

Sup Forums in general became too popular. It's hard to say and not sound like a hipster, but the more popular a community becomes, the worse it becomes. Fuck, look at Facebook. Anyone who was here a decade ago probably also remembers Facebook a decade ago. Drastically different place before everybody had a smartphone with Facebook preinstalled.

Popularity waters down everything into one giant shithole of mediocrity. The term normies is well deserved. I am not saying we had a super secret club. But generally we were the outcasts of society who got invaded by spotty teenagers and Chads trying to look edgy.

thanks to todays society and the fear of being judged due to the sites you visit and things that you say pretty much kills all creativity.

Imagine fucking with people online, calling them niggerfaggots, inbred cousinfuckers etc and then a couple of years later have those comments shoved in your face when you're working in politics or whatever.

Shit like that is becoming more and more common and it discurages people from doing and saying funny/weird/stupid shit, and because internet is being used to spread hate and hurt people it's eventually going to go all away unless people agree to some kind of rules that makes sense.

As I say, that's admirable, and I sympathise, but it seems this is a problem with you, not other people.

What is wrong with my point? I'm saying trap/sissy/YLYL/rate threads have been around since at least 2005. Some other faggot, possibly you, is saying they haven't.

Is it not up to me to prove that? How the fuck else does such a debate/argument continue?

Funny. But fake. Of course.

it is a ridiculous argument with no purpose, i concede that my memory is terrible and that i cant remember last week let alone 10 years ago, but to be invested in an argument, to have a desire to learn or progress your understanding is parodied by the idea of demanding proof as a t-total means of discrediting the opponent is ridiculous.

for example in physics, im sure there are principles that are theorised about and given some form of merit before data is gathered or experimentation is done because that is how ideas develop, they come before evidence.

"WWYD" threads...even worse than trap threads or footfag threads ......

I understand where it corsses the line of preying on others. But censorship is generally a bad thing. I would defend a non-offending pedo for his right to his right to free speech any day over a bunch of ignorant retards wanting to lynch him just because he is different.

But every day it becomes more and more a case of if you are not one of us you are one of them mentality.

They faked exploding their kitchen?

QFT

I can't say if this is the right call or not but if it was down to me I would allow all kind of ways for people to express themselves with the one rule being that you don't try to be malicious or intentionally hurt others, specially if they themselves haven't done anything to anyone

Haha

Such a faggot

Sounds sensible. Mob rule is alive and well however. Media frenzy is the catalyst. The media has so much sway over peoples thoughts, feelings and actions it's scary. TV, radio and the dailies can turn people considered non-threatening into a seething angry mob overnight

Ahhh I get you now. I didn't realise you're just a retard who thinks you can come up with "facts" without evidence.

I admit it too - pic related. It's a screenshot of Sup Forums from about 2005 which doesn't show any YLYL/trap/sissy/rate/etc threads.

do you ever think that we will be able to create a world where "money" isnt needed for people to work jobs and help one another or will greed always be required to reach results?

I miss Rose

Those in power will ALWAYS figure out a way to get one over on the general populace. They can't have their children, grand children etc be doing manual labor now can they? Robots can only do so much at least until AI can outsmart humans that is.

In physics, if data isn't gathered and experimentation isn't done there are no 'principles that are theorised'

You have a gross misunderstand of how any of that works.

If you make a claim, be prepared to back it up. If you want to post anecdotal experience, admit that it's anecdotal and don't try to claim it as fact.

To do things any differently leads to 'alternative facts'

I miss piecost

Shit like that always has my head set to a spin, I mean the higher you climb the more the interest should be to do good to everyone, forrein interests and the interests of the people should be everything that you live and breathe for and it should be the same for other countries, finding a system where the people youre responsible for to be satisfied, and today with internet and automated machines why cant we just build better and taller houses where people dont have to live on the streets anymore, the easier something is to produce the lower the cost has become so why hasnt the quality of life increased and why are we still fucking about with other countries?

And why are we still so hellbent on putting others down without putting anywhere near the same amount of energy to try and find a solution to those problems, if you have powermad politicians or whatever touching little kids then why cant you just expand VR and sexdolls so that they can get their rocks off without causing some shitstorm that causes setbacks in whatever good they were doing in their work, I mean people usually have those jobs for several years and with 1 fuckup all of what they did good suddently accounts for nothing? wat

If you have never had to work hard to get to the top and you have never suffered (good genes, well to do family, good education etc) then you never understand how it is to live at the bottom and everyone around you becomes inferior and easier to treat like shit.

Sup Forums has always been bad. You're supposed to evolve and start checking out the other boards. Sup Forums is anything goes. It's always had porn threads. Not as many trap and cuck shit but instead it was CP and raid threads. The more that people broke rules 1 and 2 the worse things got on Sup Forums. Just lurk more faggots

How young are you? Seriously. I'm not saying things are right. But some people don't want to do shit but want everything from society. Some people will exploit that so they dot have stories do anything. The smarter you get the harder you work you realize that a lot of people's issues are caused by themselves. Even with the opportunity to progress they rather do the same thing so they could complain about life. I work in a warehouse and I've been there for less than 3 years and I'm already becoming management. I've listened to lifers bitch and complain. Without trying to change shit and every avenue to change they didn't and would complain afterwards. I came into the picture and kept pushing for change andthe company now sees my ambition. I'm a good 10-15 years younger than all these guys too. The salt is going to pour out when they find out on Monday. You can only change people who want to change

I personally just hate the normalization of memes, shit meant more when it hit Sup Forums and you felt like you took part of something special, now its all over the place and being posted by your grandmother on facebook or your friend on twitter

maybe Sup Forums or Sup Forums just needs something new, something fresh
