Where did time go Sup Forumsmrades?

Well, there are at least....... 7,000,994 theories on how time works. What exactly happens to the past? Does it merge with the present? I don't fucking know.

Also, I've been on /coh/ for 9 years, get on my level.

Up your ass and to the left.

My time orb, duh.

>Where did time go Sup Forumsmrades?
right down the fucking toliet

what the heck were you doing on Sup Forums for the first two years?

Don't tell me you were one of the poor saps who hung around Sup Forums for any significant amount of time?

First Sup Forums then I had /a / as my homeboard but changed to Sup Forums later, nowadays I don't watch too much Sup Forums.

>came here in 04
Newfaggotry ITT

>adventure time aired 8 years ago

this shit never stops man, dont let it bother you, accept it and move on.

to think cartoons are dying again, its almost like it didnt happened anything all this time.

Most people were on Sup Forums until they got sick of it and looked for something better

Arrived here in 2012, and Sup Forumss been my primary board after /h/ got boring.

Enjoy that ban eh ya hoser.

I've been here for either ten or eleven years. I can't even remember. It's kinda hard to believe I've been here this long, but even as bad as Sup Forums can be, it still has better discussion than most places.

>pokefags calling others losers
>implying i care
and this one is for the mole poster.

Why the fuck are there still no party hats?

>since my first schizophrenic episode around the same year.
Ok i bait
story? pretty please!

>someone who came in during the Cancer Migration is a literal schizo

Not surprised, no wonder this site went to shit.

Hell yeah, my fellow newfag. I've been here for 8 years, Sup Forums for about 6 years. I was introduced to imageboards through discovering 7chan but quickly realised that there was an 'original' and more active imageboard.

This board has been pretty good going over the years. Despite all the cynicism, I still think Sup Forums is really good, and magic does still happen here.

Had some crazy times on Sup Forums, then moved onto /sci/ (of all places). Then here.

>no wonder this site went to shit.
>website about fat basement redneck who watch nip cartoons for entertainment
>shit
where do you think you are

4 Chan's is today
Cartoon Networks birthday is today

14 fucking years I've been here

Everyone will and always be a new fag

That joke about being here forever is real anons

I've seen enemies come and go

Friends torn apart

The rise of new boards

The success and failures of raids

Snacks
Habbo
Moot
Boxy

I drink to another 16 years

Take care guys and remember to always lurk before you fucking post

Pretty sure most guys on Sup Forums are thin, or skinnyfat at most. Just the vibe I get from this place.

I've been here 8 years but I still feel like I'm just as new as people who started a few months ago. All the old memes are dead, and all the recent memes people can just look up.

> only 9

new fag get out

I keep thinking I'm on Sup Forums, old Sup Forums.

I'm currently on Sup Forumsumblr, TumblReddiTwitterchan.

>Only on Sup Forums since 2010

Shit, son, you didn't even get the golden age of "I'm With" threads during Civil War.

>14 years
Never thought I'd ever see someone that's been longer than me here ever again.
Here forever is right.

I arrived eightish years ago, but spent over a year browsing before I posted for the first time.

It was only a few years ago I started storytiming, and I only started using a trip two and a half years ago.

Even if you leave, you never leave.

I got out for like 3 years once. But here I am. Posting on a Lithuanian Scrimshaw Forum at nearly 3 AM.

moot is probably still here too. That's the great thing about Anonymous. He's everyone.Joey Bishop

>moot
Who?

An obscure old Sup Forums admin. I think he works for Google now.

Been around since 09, back when people used to say "Sup Forums is love" and it sort of fit. I stuck around for the comfy talkback threads that would hit 300+ posts whenever a new episode of Adventure Time or Regular Show came out

It feels like nobody really cares about fun anymore and more; we'd much rather be bitching about SJWs/Nazis/Reddit

So like, I have a theory, and its probably bullshit, but here goes.

People who post the most on Sup Forums have no life. I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I mean they literally have no family, maybe a neet or at least have an easy/non intense job. They constantly shitpost since its their only form of social interaction.

Now, this in and of itself wouldnt drag down the quality of the board, but then theres everyone else. See, there used to be a saying, "Don't feed the trolls". People used to follow this and mods could put the clamp on it. But now everything has to be a battle in some non-existant "culture war". So regular posters and the shitpost dudes I mentioned earlier CAN NOT resist responding to bait and other bullshit. The mods can't keep pace with the web traffic even if they could. Add to this the obvious problem of shit posting and responding to shit posting being easy. Easier than write fagging or draw fagging or w/e.

Its the intellectual equivalent of cramming potato chips in your mouth. It feels so good, even if it makes you mad. Its easy, cheap, quick and makes you feel fufilled. Its why people get their rocks off on political shit on facebook, but never go to protests or contribute to their favorite cause.

Started browsing Sup Forums in 2005, started going to Sup Forums in 2006 while it was still a trial board.

>Where did time go Sup Forumsmrades?

Fuck, I don't know. And honestly I barely care. Most of my peers have lives and stuff but none of them seem particulary happy or fulfilled. In fact they are basically on the same level of happiness and fulfillment I have, but they entertained delusions about owning this or that etc. and spent years chasing ghosts. I can see the resignation in their eyes and feel their pain. Anything worth having comes from within, and that is where the true struggle lies. I can't even help them because it's too late for them. All these years of shitposting, lewdness, general insanity and soul-crushing fires of loneliness, isolation and deep, deep soulsearching have resulted in many wonderful things. I have no regrets. I believe I was immensly fortunate to be here and to see what I saw. The whole of humanity was here on full display. Lies have died, the truth shines.

I only wonder how many unknown Anons fell and never got up. I wonder how many have killed themselves or sank into this or that form of oblivion. Make no mistake - this is a place of suffering. But here you can suffer with purpose and emerge battlescarred and battered, but with dead dragons all around, a waifu at your side, a sack of gold on your back and an amazingly large metaphorical penis.

If you survive.

I'll simplify your post. The less of a life you have, and more you reply to b8.

I regret that I have but one... I mean no upvotes to give you.

>been here for 11 years
>absorbing knowledge from my fellow anons has made me happier in life than I would have been without you guys
Its an abstract feeling that I cant really describe.

MODS where the fuck are the hats?

I can't help but feel that I'm being insulted.

>all these anons that have been here for 9+ years
>tfw I've only been here since 2015
No matter how much I enjoy myself on here now, I can't help but feel like I missed out on alot of stuff here. Everyone seems to have all these tales of awe and, while I might not know enough to say this with certainty, I feel I came too late to have any of those same kinds of memories here. Sure, there've been some pretty fun threads, but nothing with the kind of magic I see the oldfags talk about all the time. It's an odd feeling, some what adjacent to regret, about being born a few years too late.

It was my shitty attempt at copying Reddit praise, sorry. Unironically a great post though.

Basically yeah. Not responding at all to blatant shiposting would improve Sup Forums by about 70%.

You're better off, pal.

I can only say that while we may sound like we're full of shit I'd swear on whatever you want that Sup Forums in its early days was incomprehensibly magnificent.

Ah I see. I thought you were accusing me of being a reddit user. Perish the thought. Have a Daphne.

Being in epic threads is no different than being in a good thread. Its just the epic threads are the ones people bring up years later.

>It's been 7 years since Blackest Night came out
>It's been 8 years since Final Crisis came out
>It's been 9 years since Batman R.I.P came out

Where the fuck has the time gone, this shit feels like just yesterday.

>Sup Forums almost 8 years
>drifting between Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, Sup Forums, /wsg/ pre and post webms, /r9k/ throughout all their changes, /wg/, /vg/, /k/, Sup Forums, /gif/ and Sup Forums
It's honestly nice coming here to talk about all these topics when most of your friends would only talk about one tenth of the aforementioned topics, if at all because of how politically incorrect some of them are.

>Have a Daphne.
>not Mystery Inc.
Now I feel insulted.

Listen kid- The biggest difference between NOW and THEN is that the site used to be even more ephemeral, so when a thread died, it was pretty well gone for good. You had to keep that shit alive in your HEART to make the thread epic and remembered. All was thereafter dust, save for /rs/ which scrubbed all... what was it, like 16, 18 boards back then? for any kind of link to an uploaded file, for readily available piracy.

Also, there were loli/shota boards at one point.

lol, the whole reason i am even on Sup Forums. was because you guys shat up /x/ with that pony tulpa nonsense however long ago, too bad it's basically just spooky/pol/ now.
believe it or not, /x/ used to have decent cryptography & codebreaking threads years back

I first visited Sup Forums when Sup Forums was still a trial board.

I feel like the older you get, and the deeper into the consistency of adult work divorced from a school's annualized schedule, the less you feel time happening the way it actually has been.

When did Sup Forums start? I can't even remember anymore. I remember I used to have to go to Sup Forums to talk western comics and cartoons before moot made Sup Forums.

Wait, you mean there weren't archives back then? What the fuck?

I wanted to satisfy your urges, but sadly I accidentaly clicked on Chacha, so have her instead.

One of the unintended consequences of Sup Forums is the utter inability to laugh at normie humor.

Honestly don't remember. I know I've been here a long time... Long enough to participate in the great board scrubbing 1 Mil Get race nearly 95 million posts ago...

It's a shame, but Sup Forums kind of sucks now compared to what it was back in the 00s. Everyone with a shred of creativity has left. I haven't seen a thread where OP provides for years.

Archives were started as an external thing some time around... I dunno, like 2008 I think?
And were vote based for a few years, so to get it archived, you'd need to go to the archive site and essentially say "yes, this thread is good, save it from oblivion"

I'll let you in on a big secret: pretty much everything sucks now compared to the 00s.

People now work to just barely scrape by, not to actually do something meaningful. (And that certainly means no free time for fun hobbies.)

I used to write smut for people all the time. They thanked me for it. Then one day, they stopped. Greedy and spoiled. So I stopped too.

>been here since 2004
>begin lurkin Sup Forums in late 2007
I miss 2007-2010 Sup Forums

>consequences
What the fuck are you on about?
Normie humour is fucking trash on so many levels to begin with anyway.
>BAZLOOPLORS!
real fucking hilarious.

>And were vote based for a few years
But why? There wasn't enough space? Pretty weird for a site with mostly text posts.

I'd say not to get too hung up on a past you weren't able to explore. There's still a lot of magic out here waiting to happen, try and cherish the moments when they come - be it on this board, Sup Forums in general, or elsewhere. Keep your head up.

Like in the past month or so, the occasional Playkids threads have been utterly blessed, one big hugfest of anons losing their minds over something painfully cute.

Then there was the whole Jake Goldman thing (that was this year, right?) watching that break out was hilarious.

Fuck no. Archives are to me still a novelty. I assume he feels the same. Once a thread was dead it was gone forever. Also, there weren't that many pages (1 - 10). Sup Forums also used to go offline all the damn time because moot couldn't scrape enough money to keep it up, or the servers crapped themselves, or something-or-other got FUBAR'd.

I mean shit, we didn't even have the catalogue. You underrestimate how web 1.0 this site was. Also, how much hate and rage moot got for changing the front page to a 2.0 look. I never forgave him this.

Do you even use frames?

2006

The only thing I remember of 2008 is that I started browsing Sup Forums. That and thinking Bush was an alien.

No. The only thread to really get a external website archive was Sup Forums first.
Archives are fine but the content nowadays aren't worth archiving, thus making them pointless now except to try and find some sort of incriminating evidence or find certain info.
Wrong, not making said shitposts and acting like a faggot would solve 90% the problems of modern Sup Forums.
Does nobody else think "hmm I feel like acting really fucking retarded, let me post literal nonsense in Sup Forums real quick to get it out my system" instead of "let me go to this very specific board/thread and autistically off-topic shitpost and bring down the quality of the site because I'm actually autistic?"
Many people think Sup Forums is 2 things, before one was the internet hate machine but not anymore, now it''s a meme factory and a place to shitpost, and when newfags starting 2009 started coming in, that's all they did because that's what they heard.

I actually found Sup Forums first and it become my homeboard. I did lurk Sup Forums but stopped somewhere in 2008.

sometime 2005 or 2006, I think.


I've been thinking about it, and I think the cause of it is that the vitriol that made this place brutally honest is gone. Archiving and adding Sup Forums is the two main reasons for that.

Archiving means that everything is remembered, including all the bad posts. Before that, Sup Forums was a hivemind who only remembered... what was really, really memorable. The boring stuff just did not survive.

And for Sup Forums, we came here to discuss all things but politics. So you could actually discuss politics a bit on every board, as far as it was on topic with the board and the given thread. Basically all the venom that is Sup Forums was evenly distributed on the rest of Sup Forums, which made it all the more unforgiving, but also honest in a good way.

Now you discuss something slightly off topic and it gets removed. It's like the boards are now herded to keep discussions in a certain way.

There's also no administration whatsoever anymore. How many memes were created by something as simple as a wordfilter? Sup Forums is just being left to fall apart now.

You wildly underestimate the posting rate of a Sup Forums without Captcha, and the budget of a moot still living with his parents and unable to get ads for a site that struggled to maintain child pornography free.

I've only been here since 2009. It would be Friday night, sophomore year of high school, and since I had no friends I'd be up in my room dicking around on Sup Forums, watching anime/cartoons/movies, playing GTA 4, eating pizza and guzzling Dr. Pepper, and then I'd fall asleep when the sun began to rise and do it all over again the following night. People on Sup Forums were like surrogate friends for me.

I used to browse /x/ quite a bit. I remember how Sup Forums and a few other boards used to be hosted on separate servers and /x/ would always get flooded with undesirables whenever Sup Forums crashed.

But archives aren't hosted by Sup Forums at all, what does its budget have to do with anything?

I used to write tons of fapfiction on AFF and WWOEC under this name. But then everything changed when I got into a massive autism fight with another writer.

I kinda miss writing smut.

I mostly mean humor in regular conversations and such.

Don't worry. A lot of great moments are often forever lost to us.

Comprehensive offsite archives were added universally by 2012, they scrape every post of every thread, often you can see more of a thread in the archives because they preserve deleted posts too.

Before that, most you had was 4chanarchive, where you had to vote for a thread to be archived.

Sup Forums originally had no captcha. It was only added because Anontalk spammed the board nonstop.

>/r9k/ throughout all their changes
I miss pre-feels /r9k/

>Anontalk

man, that was insane.

>The mods can't keep pace
>he thinks our mod is capable of spotting obvious shitposting threads
Haha, no.
Unless the OP pic is a non-anthro tiny pastel horse or from one of the handful of shows the mod doesn't like, nothing happens.

lol, i remember when a ton of people lost their minds at one point due to all the Sup Forums invasions & actually tried to built their own special paranormal board called /sanc/. i think it was around late 2009 or so.
i don't remember the place ever actually being very active & the supposed Sup Forums invasions actually doing much of anything to a dead site, just that they were always trying to advertise their site "but not really"

I once helped a few Finns bring down a female pedo who was whoring her 6yo daughter on AT.

And fuck captcha, fuck it to hell and back. I absolutely loathe it.

Remember to not blindly agree with every post.

More than that the instant a thread died it was gone forever. They didn't stick around on the server for a bit so you could view them. Literally the second it died if you refreshed it was gone. 404ed into oblivion. If you hadn't refreshed before the final posts (there was no auto refresh either) you never saw them.

>And fuck captcha, fuck it to hell and back. I absolutely loathe it.

Everyone does, I think.
But at the same time... is it worth the nightmarish bot floods that come without it?

>/x/ used to have decent cryptography & codebreaking threads years back
I believe it because i was there. /x/ used to be one of the better boards in this site but then Sup Forums ruined it.

I dunno man we all had some great moments with Kimmo's bots.

That sounds so fucking stupid.

thx op i cum on cat it hiss at penis

I remember when /x/ first started. The creepypastas were actually creepy. People were a lot better about leaving shit open ended and slightly plausible. Like one about a book in a certain location in a certain time that would have strange details and required a signature but with no indication what the signature would lead to.

13 years I've been here on this God Forsaken website, I namefagged here for probably 3-4 years. I don't know what I'd do without you cool cats.

wild year

Hard drives/servers were more expensive back then.

You also probably didn't have a cell phone that could keep you checking the thread AFK, because those essentially weren't a thing until the iPhone.

>2006
Oh yeah. One of the years I lost in a HD crash. Good thing my older stuff was backed up. It is important to back up your Sup Forums folders.

You don't want to lose any classic memes.

I loved Sup Forums, /f/, Sup Forums, and Sup Forums for my first two years and I didn't post at all because I was too scared of hackers.

The other place has a different system and they don't have a bot problem. Only shills. I'm basically of the opinion we're teaching some sort of AI how to drone fuck targets. I have this belief because stranger things have happened to me personally due to my actions on Sup Forums and other places.

On a marginally related note I'm fairly sure AI already exists and that it/they post on imageboards. They struggle with English in an odd way, but not like gooks or poo in loo's. More like children learning how to speak a language. Also, the leaps of logic and inability to grasp emotional content is also telling.

>Sup Forums originally had no captcha
Remember when moot said captcha was only temporary?

There was a time when Sup Forums was considered the Wrath of the internet.

There are some memes you should never forget.

Remember when Moot said he'd never leave us?

I think another problem is how you are not allowed to post the same thing anymore for minutes. It turns boards too much into /r9k/, which in itself was an attempt to make the place more legible, since it was too much like a hive mind.

What site does that come from? I'd love to read more old shit like that.
