If you've been on the chans since 2008 or before then, how has your life turned out?

could be worse :P

>:P
newfag spotted.

Actual oldfag here, I quit school and live in a moldy tiny shit appartement. I make enough money to drink myself unconscious in the weekends and spend my free time playing video games. That's about it.

I'm a home owner and make a decent living. Friends, children, decent hobbies & interests.

I remember the old raids, the LOIC days and hope some of the fags who make me laugh back in the day are doing well.

Not bad. I'm just like anybody else my age these days. I think it's the kids browsing nowadays that might get a little fucky.

I miss when the web was terrible (slow, decentralized, less people, no faces attached to usernames--kind of an adventure to comb through search engines to discover cool shit) and memes were still called fads.

since 2008?
hmm
I failed two Colleges
my mother died cause of lung cancer
same time i started smoking
I spent years and years being unemployed
the few jobs i had i lost mostly after a couple of days
or weeks in best case
my father married again a retarded woman
who wants to throw me out and inherit the house

normal i guess

fucking shit but i wouldn't have it any other way.

i don't think memes even had names. I think even Sup Forums called it in-jokes or something.

Sup Forums was a nightmare to navigate though. No extensions, no catalog, forgot to type in noko? Say goodbye to your thread because you will never find it.

Ahh ye. YTMND called them 'fads,' and there was a lot of bleed between Sup Forums, YTMND and Something Awful, so young me figured recyclable jokeson the internet were all 'fads.'

shit man, hope things improve

Me again,

I also used to give away bitcoins back in the day, before they had any real value.

Hope those who got them still have their wallets :)

...

I'm a poverty-stricken alcoholic with a temper and a job installing and maintaining Hardwood floors. I'm also married to a fat chick and have 6 kids.

I was in middle school when I discovered Sup Forums through mentions in the MegaTokyo forums.

I'm doing iight.
Not as good as I could be but not bad.

...

Since 2008:

> Broke up with girlfriend of 4 years
> Graduated college
> Joined Phd program
> Failed out, but got my masters
> Joined another PhD program, moved cities
> Met my wife at sunday school for single adults
> Passed qualifiers
> Got married
> About to graduate with Phd next year

Just hope I get a decent job. The stipend I get is generous for a PhD student but no where near a decent salary (way less than 50k/year)

too soon?

Yes. Not to say it's too soon to show this, but too soon to prove you're an oldfag.

Started lurking Sup Forums in 2007
Finished college

I write science fiction novels

So not that bad.

Lurking since 2009. Finished PhD recently, working on my own startup at the moment.

Relationship is flaky. Meh, life could be worse.

Pretty shitty. Lonely and full of wasted potential. Hate getting older.

never too late to turn it around man

been browsing and shitposting since '08

things were real good until I got rich off of crypto in the past 18 months. now i quit my job and am a recluse living off of meme money. moved back home with my mom to help take care of her. thinking about buying a nice house somewhere in the woods or something. not an alchoholic but i smoke myself stupid all day.

I'm trying. Once I hit 30 I may give up on becoming a normalfag.

Was grown before chans were a thing, nothing changed.

I'll hit 40 at the end of the year, don't worry about it

Married, live in a decent duplex,

IT job, wife, 2 dogs.

Get drunk with my wife a lot .

first time on Sup Forums was during the jessi slaughter ordeal.
my life is shit.

sup?

>Reddit spacing like no tomorrow

how do you fucking think

I've been here since 2003. My life is a complete failure due to crippling mental illness.

2008, shit.
>Shit job
>Kissless virgin
Life's getting better, I can actually communicate with people now and don't have awful anxiety, problem is I dont want to

So the majority of people ITT are doing OK, and we thought how Sup Forums would have a negative impact on our lives...

2005
was 13 at the time, came here because of all the edge (yes I realise I was part of the problem)

I mean, I work a mcjob, host a failing letsplay channel with my roommates and waste my life away masturbating to anime girls as I have been doing for the past 16 or so years

and yet, I cant say im unhappy.

line breaks predate reddit, too, newfriend.

>losing your thread because forgot to type noko
fucking this

What’s wrong with reddit?

it's a small sample set :)

Fucking shit but I got laid 2017 the first time at 26

>forgot to type in noko? Say goodbye to your thread because you will never find it.
takes me back, damn is everything so fucking SLOW nowadays

2009. Does not seem like 9 years ago at all. Anyways I was a big stoner when I started Sup Forums and I was delivering pizzas. Got arrested in 2010 and quit smoking. Starting drinking heavily in 2011 after a girl dumped me and the booze got really out of hand until about 2014 when I pulled my shit together. Now I deliver for UPS which is cool. It's 35 bucks an hour. These days I really only go to Sup Forums when I'm drunk and I don't have a lot of time to drink these days. I'm on vacation this week so guess what? I'm drunk right now.

Pretty good. I work for the University of Cambridge and am about to receive a huge employment Tribunal payout.

Why do they have to come on here ? Can't they just go on their normie book, and their safe space reddit. Why do they have to feel edgy one day and come here.. fuck off you faggots go circle jerk each other with the same old phrases and shit memes on your precious reddit. I hope the ghost of moot fucks yalls sisters with a barbed wire base ball bat n makes yall lap up her bloody hatchet wound after. REEEE

tripcodes!

Newfag here. Now i will never visit Sup Forums again. Goodbye losers

It's the same people posting the same jokes over and over. Their is very limited individual thought to the point of it being one giant circle jerk of the same shirt jokes on every single thread

I hope you're serious. I don't know you, and I hate you

Pretty good, back in uni, getting an accounting degree and gonna start working towards my CPA soon as well.

And you make a living with just that? Or is it a kind of side hobby/side income?

How the hell do you become a kissless virgin. I get Virgin but not kissless. Like yea got tons of bjs but no sex until I was 19 cause I had no where to bring the bitch sometimes sex can be a pain to setup when you don't have your own space but kissless? Come the fuck on Sup Forums

My life is fucked and that is about it.
Also this place isn't the same anymore.

First time on Sup Forums was when I was 11, in 2008.

Changed me forever.

Been beta for a long time. Lost my virginity to someone that stayed with me for 4 years out of pity. Back to celibacy, been there for 8 months.

Still posting on Sup Forums to this day. I've seen this board go through all the ups and downs. Currently? Sup Forums is definitely in a down period right now with all this logposting and shit.

>If you've been on the chans since 2008 or before
33 years old, been on Sup Forums since August 2005

>how has your life turned out?
About as well as it would have worked out had I never discovered Sup Forums. I come from a highly dysfunctional white trash family and it was really quite a handicap. I didn't exactly hit the ground running. Despite this, I'm not in prison, addicted to anything or in an abusive relationship of any kind. That puts me well ahead of the familial curve. I have a decent job and am thinking of starting my own green energy company in a few years. Wish me luck.

Here from 2006-2009, then mostly /ic/ and Sup Forums sporadically after that. I finally came back to Sup Forums recently and it’s a lot more normal than back then. Lots of porn/dicks, memes seems to be here to irritate people primarily, actually even less OC than a decade ago.

I spent my life doing hobo shit like riding freight, hitch hiking, working small farms, and having sex with weirdos. Now I’m settling down to a freelance art career. It’s been pretty alright.

I moved back to Delhi. Worked hard now shit in clay pot in kitchen. Moving up in the world. Send bobs please I have 12 foot peebus. Btw why America orange face like make homo sex on boy cow?

Here since 07/08
8/10 Family & Friends
7/10 Career
6/10 Finances
6/10 Health
7/10 Life Experiences
8/10 Attitude
14 girls banged

>I failed two Colleges
Should've went into the trades after you failed the first time, college is not for everyone despite what your sociology teacher said.
>my mother died cause of lung cancer
That sucks. RIP
>same time i started smoking
YOU RETARD REEEEEEEEE
>I spent years and years being unemployed
I call it "being lazy", I guess working for a living is an alien concept to millennials.
>the few jobs i had i lost mostly after a couple of days or weeks in best case
Literary how? Take an IQ test, unless you're nigger tier there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to keep a job. Show up on time, wash yo ass, don't drink or smoke during work and don't forget to "yes sir/m'am" the shit out of your boss.
>my father married again a retarded woman who wants to throw me out and inherit the house
Good, you don't deserve it. Besides you should've left your dad's house about a decade ago.

I'm married, no kids. I've got a dog and a cat, and live in a rented house. I've got a masters degree in Social Work and obtained my private practice license. Then I decided, "Fuck it, I don't care if I put all that work and money into getting a private practice license. I'm not going to start my own practice." I hated being a counselor, so I stopped working. Now I write and throw up ebooks on Kindle. I don't make nearly the same amount of money, but my spouse says it's been so much better with me at home. However, I'll throw out that I have bipolar disorder, and that's one of the reasons I decided to quit being a counselor. I was having difficulty managing my own symptoms while trying to help others with theirs. All in all, I have a pretty good life, and an awesome husband. Since I'm home all the time, he's trying to get me to milk for him. I'm on Domperidone and have a pumping routine. Right now I only make drops though. Oh yeah, and I eventually went vegan. So... there's that. Happy life, weird quirks.

My Nigger.
Motherfucking MegaTokyo, haven't heard that name in years.

Got on Sup Forums in highschool thanks to said forums in 2004.

Now i've went through college,
found out i sucked at what i learned,
got a job doing something completely different
and got married to a girl who loves videogames, anime & fucking almost as much as i do.

All in all it turned out okay.

Good luck man

Good for you. Good luck!

Since 2004,

I was a kid, now I'm 27.

I went to prison for attempted murder,
got paroled after only 2 years.

I have a hot wife, married for 2 years and it's not bad.

Went to a mental asylum for a month after trying pcp(I tried to arrest a police officer).

I'm a sales manager for a small security company, money is good but can be better.

I have a small but cozy apartment..

And that's about 1% of what happened I'm to lazy to type, lurking is my thing here..

>mfw I still use noko

Did not know that was not necesary today

So far pretty good. Married, we both make decent money. We look after my elderly parents, and have divided their house into a duplex, so no rent or utilities. Saving up to buy our own house when they pass away, gping to start a family next year. Work out a lot, staying in shape so my 30s and 40s will still be fun. Life is good. Hope all you other oldfags are dping alright.

Been on /b since 2007. My life has been getting better and better as time goes by. I try to always be moving forward.

wouldn't dare call myself an oldfag but 11 years ago my future seemed a lot brighter than it is at the moment. If that answers your question...
I now know what lame ass parents meant when they would talk about "real life"

it could be worse. it's all pretty meh these days.

Im pretty good though detached from reality. Dont really take anything that happens irl on face value

Glad to hear some of us made it.

Since I moved in 2005, now I own a profitable company and make a decent amount of money.

Why care about the spacing?

On here since about 2005, life is going up. I failed university cause depression due to gf being a piece of shit (also my own fault for being a lazy fuck), became unemployed and more depressed. Finally got myself back together, started an internship as a developer and after a while got hired by that company. It's not making me rich but climbing up the ladder.

Also leaving a btc address since it doesn't cost me anything and some dude in this thread apparently has quite a few of them.

>Same people posting the same jokes
But that happens on Sup Forums too

Literally waiting to die.

Spent the last 10+ years mostly inside playing videogames with the curtains closed

No job or college

Parents bring groceries twice a week

Change underwear about 5 times a year

Well said, Sup Forumsruv.
2008 here (GODDAMN). I also started while in high school, but I was jerking it to anime for a while up to then.
I could aim a lot higher and work a lot harder, but I'm content with my lot.

Because

wtf user....

I actually miss YTMND. I used to laugh my ass off to that and Something Awful. ah the memories.

I would have gutted my mom with a kitchen knife the moment i got back user. I don't even know why the fuck some people think that shit is a good idea.

i'm in law school.

been here since 2005. that's two years after it opened. learned about it from an IRC channel called #fishmongers on Undernet.

my life would have been shit regardless, but at least I found a community of like-minded social retards and misfits to talk with. i like you guys.

Lets call him Chris from Craigslist

I think the worst part is that she says that everything I do now (she takes credit to some extent) is because of what she did...
>implying she did something other than fuck me up and then pay someone else to help me and setting me up for a future of debt

Honestly, most of my college buddies have been on Sup Forums since around 2005. They all did just fine. Computer Science, Architecture, Social Work, Liberal Arts... they all have jobs. Most are married or have girlfriends. Two of my friends don't ever date, but they both have good jobs.

Eh, one day she's going to get old & decrepit.

Then you can give her the same "care" that she gave you.

OPr alternatively you can cut her out of your life and never talk to her again.

2006, my son thought I would fit right in.
I am a university professor lecturing in Astronomy and planetary science.
I'm 48 now and life has been good to me, somewhere you visit online need not change who and what you are as a person. If all you take from this place is a change in you, then you were probably going to find a different excuse for being a reprobate elsewhere anyway.
Be anything you want, define yourselves, don't leave it to a bunch of Sup Forums newfags.

p.s. This place is cancer now, all newfags please kys, oldfags d/load Tor and meet up with some old friends.

>OPr alternatively you can cut her out of your life and never talk to her again

I can't do that because I want to be able to go back and see my childhood dog without trouble

>one day she's going to get old & decrepit

Yep. My sister makes 20% of what I make so I guess she knows who she'll need to beg to...

You could take the dog, or make some medium term plans to do that if it's not feasible.

Hey, it's your life and you know how best to live in it. Just don't always take the path of least resistance.

I did that and on some choice occasions i really do regret it.

You have a good one, user.

cool story brah

My dog wouldn't be able to survive the cold.

Thanks, you too user.
