Can any oldfags here give me some history of 4chan? Why some boards hate each other, why some were deleted and why are some boards such as /b/ or /pol/ so infamous?

4chan has always been the alternative to the mainstream. Back in the day, politically, this was a ron paul board.

/pol/ is where the right can congregate, because liberalism is currently mainstream and conservative ideals are not acceptable to talk about openly with the age demographic that frequents places like this. Discussion on that board used to be of slightly higher quality, and it's slid from what it once was, but not as badly as /b/.

/b/ used to be a LOT different than it is now. It was definitely more random, with threads that weren't simply repeated pastas, and sometimes crazy stuff would happen. Not anymore. It's very censored now compared to what it once was. Those are the main differences I've noticed. Think I've been here since around 2008, but time's a blur.

I've been here since 2004. This anon is kinda right

Back when /pol/ was just news; things were a lot different. News is where you could hold an actual, intelligent conversation about alternative politics. Not to mention everyone posting news from around the the world and actually discussing it instead of shit like

SWEDEN YES and HAPPENING WHEN?

/b/ is my next post. Give me a moment

>>680133036
/b/ has always been shit, but before, it was a more tasty, rich shit.

>>680133036
Very interested to hear your take. I was beginning to think I'd been here longer than everyone. I can't even remember specific "big events" on this board anymore. They all just started running together.

Uhhhh is this from a non-illegal movie?

Lol, no, 4chan spawned from SomethingAwful.

SA has a forum called ADTRW, which stands for Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse, and as you can guess is populated by the most terrible autistic weeaboos known to man. It's hated even within the already autistic SA population.

Back in the early 2000s it was so bad that forum moderator Lowtax made it so that if you had posted in ADTRW in the last month you could only post in that forum. So it created this insular, bitter, neckbearded clique. Moot was an active poster at that time (I believe his poster name was Moot, or m00t, and he might even still have an account unless it got banned) and he created 4chan as a haven for these outcasted pedophiles. He based it off the Japanese imageboard 2chan, I think.

came in 2007
After chanology in 2008 things got much different. Almost overnight the normies came in. Instead of coming to /b/ to pretend to be retarded. Everybody just came to /b/ and thought it was the place to be for retards. Some boards like /tg/ have never really changed.

/b/ has definitely changed. But not because of samefagging or lack of content. The frequenters of /b/ are shit. The reason /b/ used to work is because new... NEW ideas FRESH OC even if it was shit was encouraged. Now /b/ is so jammed full of high schoolers, who found 4chan on some tumblr article or some membetube channel, so caught up in being counter culture that they hav3nt noticed how retarded they are.

The other problem with /b/ is that people still think of how it used to be. Don't. That time is over and honestly I don't think /b/ can be fixed anymore. We were so caught up trying to cure /b/'s cancer that we never noticed it got aids.

Last thing...

/b/ seems to forget that /b/ ISN'T 4chan. It is a single, shitty board. To everyone else here... if you haven't; try another board. 4chan still has many great boards that are actually fun and full of content and humor.

Same guy, I have been here since like 04-05 I think. I've been a member of SA for about as long, and let me tell you there is a ton of crossover, though no one would admit it on SA.

/b/ has never been good, but it used to be better just because it wasn't as "mainstream". I know that sounds hipster, but when I say that I really just mean it didn't have as many 14 year olds coming here to spam memes.

There was some funny shit that happened, and some crazy shit. I personally helped stop a school shooting one (me and about 20 other people who happened to be online) because this idiot kid was stupid enough to post pictures and not erase .exif data. I've seen picturs of what I'm quite sure were very real, very recent dead bodies. I've also seen some real funny shit done by a lot of different people.

But mostly it's garbage. So much garbage. I still come here for the porn though. Not loli or pedo shit, /b/ and /gif/ always just have a nice assortment of pics and gifs and webms for when I don't know what I want to fap to.

Oh please 4chan is nothing more than a porn graphic imigur and if you think it's some kind of important edgy cool or better site you are deluded

4chan was originaly a weeb anime site and now it's a multi board porn site full of neets and tween.

>>680133753

It's lost a lot of it's lustre. Goons still remain the best group of gamers on the planet, probably just because SA gives a really structured place to plan and create clans and guilds. Most of the top games in games like WoW, Eve, Dota, and some others post there pretty regularly.
>>
>>680133723
It's way too popular to be fixed now. Of course that sounds cliche, but it's true. There is NO oc posted now. You're right. I remember when people used to post on the board when police were chasing them, etc. It was fun. When people posted stuff you couldn't get away with now. It was fun. Those times are gone and they aren't coming back. Not that I contributed anything back then, so I can't say anything. I just lurked in those years. Good to know others have been around a while.

True story

>>680134038
>>680134091

In the days of old 4chan had 2 original boards /a/ Anime abd /b/ anime random.

In those days /b/ was a containment board to keep garbage off /a/, it hasn't changed byond the name, /b/ is a garbage can to keep children off the rest of the boards as children think /b/ has some secret special aura about it but in the end /b/ is just a garbage can.

4chan is just a generic image sharing website fashiond off a Japanese image board. It's just imugr with porn and more autism.

In the years I've come here it's never not been a porn website, the fact some people see 4chan as some special Internet secret club is really depressing.
>>
I'm the guy who said he's been coming here since around 2008. I really don't remember all the boards back then. I think there was a lot less. I still have only gone to /b/, /k/, /pol/ and /news/ and /r9k/.

Sometimes have gone to /x/ because I am a faggot.

I've been here since Hal Turner and post in these threads once or twice a year. When I look at this site as it is now and think of how it was back then, it's been neutered. Whether that's because of anon culture coming into the mainstream, the FBI mods that actually do their job, or just how large the community has become and the huge percentage of that larger community not having the same experience, it's hard to say. CP used to be a nightly thing, loli had its own board, at one time /b/ was only 5 pages, then 10, then 15, then back down to 10. /z/ no longer exists at all, I remember every so often I would hop on and there'd be some crazy spam bot attacking the site and there'd be one thread on the board usually with Leonidas as the op picture, when people who liked dicks were called faggets, furries were shunned. I remember the first day that boxxy became popular and thinking to myself who the fuck is Boxxy, never thinking it would persist for years. The whole community's done a 180 from the time that I got here. Now I wouldn't say it's any more cancerous than it used to be, but it's a lot less original. Even though there are more people posting, the amount of new content whether it be memes, Trends, pastas, what have you there seem to be fewer people that can make good content and we all just kind of echo things from literally years ago. I don't know. I'm fucking tired

Being even slightly mainstream means being useless.

Just abandon 4chan and start from scratch some other forum with "everything the rest of the internet wouldn't accept".

Hal Turner was late 2006 I just prefer to identify myself with an event rather than a year partly to differentiate myself and partly because anyone can say they've been here since whenever. Over the years a couple of people have recognized me as the "Hal Turner oldfag" in my bi-annual posts. Makes me think there might actually be a much larger community of oldfags than I think, strictly lurking here because they became attached to it in their late teens or early twenties and now it's just a thing that you check up on every couple of days. That's my experience anyway.

The first Urban Dictionary[1] definition was created on January 30th, 2004. During the Tom Green raids of 2006, the phrase was often used to prank call Green during his show. It is often quoted on the image board 4chan and one of the earliest archived threads[6] dates back to August 2nd, 2007. A Facebook[7] fan page has 14,796 likes, and there are 218 YTMND[5] submissions as of November 3rd, 2011. The phrase has spawned an image macro fad on the site I Can Has Cheezburger.

This is pretty much me.

I wonder sometimes how many of the "old internet" still hang out here. I'm a post 00 SA poster too :S

Funny about the cross over .... and the absolute denial everyone was always in. You from SA? Never go there. Phht, 4chan, fuckin pedos.

Reality was Everyone from SA had migrated across to 4chan. Early times 4chan used to be like best times FYAD.

Crazy, stupid, funny, obscene. Weird shit would occur nearly every week, because every demented reject on the web used to hang out here and post their creepy weird opinions.

This place feels like SA did about 5 years ago. The creative content is dying, people are migrating, its hard to tell were original content comes from anymore. SA is almost all but dead now. The funny hasn't left, the core people are still there, but we are all old now. And (mostly) have important shit to do... well more important than a 20 year old board.
Back in the old days there were defined borders, you stayed in your forum/chan/board, and you fought tooth and nail for it, or spent hours a day putting creative content in, because many lols would be had by all coming out.
