So, can any oldfags tell me the differences between /b/ now and /b/ before?
Pic unrelated
/b/ used to be a shithole.
Now, /b/ is a shithole
>>710473227
It was always shit, but a different kind of shit.
>>710473361
>>710473388
So basically no differences what so ever other than the memes.
>>710473616
exactly. Also more raids, but they rarely were as amusing as you'd think
>>710473227
>epic breads
>actual trolling
>personal army
>dank memes
>colored IDs
I can go on but why the fuck would I tell you? Lurk moar, faggot.
>>710474126
/b/ is mainstream now, where as before it was becoming mainstream. people were excited to be here cuz they heard about it from some corner of the internet, and it was surprising, fresh and new, so much autism just for the sake of autism. People were simply enjoying the newfound freedom of pure anonymity. It is not much different now, but people come here from reddit or their friends, cuz 4chan is mainstream now. people come here expecting weird and mean. It isn't as new sometimes, just a lot of people waiting for someone else to come up with something. We all come here cuz we like people, but you hardly connect with someone. I forgot what I was talking about, but basically, I love everybody here because I hate myself. Thank you for being the reason I still live.
>>710473227
Nothing really. Only difference is "before" posts were more varied. As of now, the majority of threads on /b/ are dick rating threads, faggot ass trap threads, shota threads and other faggy bullshit which was few and far between previously.
>>710473227
/b/ used to actually be something. It wasn't a mainstream trendy crap and you couldn't go to walmart for a "U MAD BRO" t-shirt for the edgy faggots. It was a much more vibrant place.
It's repetitious bullshit now. Same threads and very rarely something that I could get lost in.
It's so much porn and bullshit now. Now they have ads on it and Milo is planning on buying 4chan.
I agree with some posts here that once it became mainstream it's lost is allure.
one of the strangest things I've noticed throughout years of being here is how earnestly homophobic everyone used to be compared to how brazenly gay yall are now
the trap posts were originally mainly intended to shock, not be fap material. now people post trap content because they legitimately fetishize it, and 4chan has almost become like a hub for that particular genre of porn as the threads went from weekly to daily, and now practically hourly
not to mention all the dick comparing and sissy threads that are extremely prevalent now. I honestly don't even remember anyone ever really posting flat out gay porn, but it's openly accepted now
it's almost like, through abusive conditioning, the community was nurtured unto homosexuality like some weird stockholm syndrome shit. this is what years and years of sexually insecure losers anonymously emasculating one another results in- sissy hypno gifs and dick ratings
/b/ was the place where 90% of the internet memes you see everywhere today spontaneously spawned among porn and gore.
now it's just porn and gore.
>>710473227
Before this place got popular, someone who was socially awkward and wanted to fuck a dead cat would be encouraged to do it while posting pics and reviewing the experience.
Now that the site is 'mainstream', the same person would be chased away by normies screaming about how its wrong and immoral, and more than likely banned by a fuckwit sjw moderator for hate speech.
Yeah really once news outlets started reporting on it due to the bigger raids and the whole Oprah thing a bunch of faggots showed up and oversaturated the place. There was not enough original content and a bunch of reposts of bullshit. Then companies like Walmart and shit took a bunch of once original content and claimed it, sold it, mass produced it, and there was just way too much faggot shit. Threads started getting more attention as police departments and agencies learned how the site worked, and most of the more shocking or extreme threads would disappear in minutes, minimizing the efficiency of raids. (If I remember correctly raid threads were grounds for a ban for all involved for a time? Idk if that's true now.)
Now the dust seems to have settled a bit, but the place is still a shell of what it used to be.
Not an old fag but I was around before the "reply to this post or..." shit gargling, cum worshipping, trap loving faggots came along.
Not good times, but they were better.They post that shit faster than I can report it.
>>710473227
Oldfags being virginfags for too long. Thus all this trap and shemale shit.
Newfags being virginfags with no experience in life thinks that gay stuff is cool.
Thus even more traps and shemale shit.
>>710474428
I love you too, man.
Newfag here.
So oldfags still around, are oldfags not posting and just lurking? Or have nothing to say anymore a kin to a nu-metal band?
>/b/ used to be a shithole.
>Now, /b/ is a shithole
who's really to blame here. Newfags for posting trap/sissy/faggotry
or oldfags for not posting

Well, 2/10 I replied.
>>710477529
I think u explaines it the absolute best ..fuk all these new rules we should just keep doin wat were we doin
>>710480507
One of the major problems is that people both try to force creativity, and just don't have the basic skills required for remix culture, or the understanding that brought it about. The truth is that, until a remix culture 2.0 hits, /b/'s not gonna be as fun as it used to be. That's never going to be a thing if we keep on discouraging people putting more than ten minutes of effort into something amusing as being "autism". You know, in the vitriolic, compensating for having no skills sort of way.
>>710473227
same old shit, trap threads have been a thing for ages, only now are people starting to get sick of em
Why not raid /b/? Somebody must know how to make a script that works like curl. If we can get a mods account we can ban all the faggots who make these shit tier threads. And if somehow we get a admin account we can unban W.T.Snacks.
>>710473227
more implied faggotry and much less actual faggotry
>>710481325
i see plenty of actual faggotry
>>710481262
trap threads have been around for 3-4 years, max
easily the worst thing to happen to /b/
Suiseiseki raid on /b/?
>>710473227
/b/ now is all shit porn
/b/ has always been shit, only that before it was funny shit, now its filled with cunts who think they're edgy because they are on 4gag
>>710477529
Except that's wrong, faggot
If anything old /b/ would get pissy at the guy for having a dead cat in his possession. Cats used to be sacred.
THEN they'd tell him to fuck it.
These days they'd just tell him to fuck it, but with different reaction pictures and more "wtf" posts
>>710480507
Newfags are always to blame, newfag
Pic related
been here on and off since 2005 and something i've learned over the years, is you cannot become an oldfag. everyone one is a newfag. then you have your summerfags
/b/ then:
unfunny bullshit and stale memes but its new to you
/b/ now:
unfunny bullshit and stale memes but you recognize this fact
More porn, less "LOL SO RANDUM XD" shit, less attempts to become a /b/ legend, less attempts at lulz, doxxing is mostly dead and so are raids.
The only thing we've lost that I miss are things like the EFG threads. Not a lot of creativity around anymore. /b/ these days is mostly just good for having semi-interesting conversations with a wide variety of people.
This isn't really a bad thing.
How do I get out of bed? I haven't left it in 4 days.
Not fat.
usually active and full of life.
What the fuck.
>>710481895
just lay there until you die dude
>>710481805
this. EFG was the best and the raids were actually funny to take part in and see reactions.
I think the board before was funnier, my first experience on /b/ was when 'faggot' was censored and every thread was a spiderman thread
>>710480507
traps have been a thing on /b/ since day one
do you newfags even know that bailey jay started out as a namefag on /b/?
>>710474428
Love you too /b/ro
>>710482037
you must be new here
ron paul b
any of you cumdumpsters or roodiepoos remember what 7 filtered to?

This was like 6 years ago, I don't really browse /b/ anymore, is the spiderman meme still alive?
*SAGE all fields

Also I love niggers, it goes great with toast

I remember /b/ from before the id's but on a side note fuck that heaven bloke I'm glad he's gone
>>710473227
i remember the old times when i came to /b/ 1/3 threads porn but 2/3 theads were golden. when i
first came here i went on this thread where
people showed their smoking pipes and wrote
why they love them and suprisingly it wasent
turned in spiderman thread in like 3 hours or so.
the meme was so much stronger than now.
feels theards.
gore threads. (i loved watching them high as fuck)
i just realized that i lost my folder with dead memes. fuck my life.
When I first started coming here there were a shit ton of cp threads, tbh I'm glad there gone but I miss the hacking and raid threads.
>>710477003
as i remember it everyone calledeveryone faggot , but noone realy had nothing against gays.
>>710482619
Holy shit, I remember heaven
I'd totally forgotten about him
If you want to experience b as it was in the before times you have to visit pol r9k s4s and meetups,
Imagine a board with all that shit on it at the same time and that was b
It was still shit but it was better than it is now
>>710481262
Trap threads used to be different. They were called traps for a reason. Now OP starts out saying trap thread with a obvious sissyboy picture
We need more CP.
/b/ used to be ironically political, instead of unironically retarded
no one really gave a shit, but the ones who did were pretty liberal. /news/ ruined everything
>>710482853
Ikr I remember seeing a cutie girl on the front page everyone getting sucked in then bam chicks got a cock bigger than mine
And the mfw been jacking to a dude

I remember operation nigger for the captchas I miss the old captchas
>>710473227
it's gotten much worse.
I can't remember the last time I've seen the front page without:
>roll thread
>fb rate
>porn spam
Might as well just merge with the porn boards at this point.
Mods used to be gods, now they're just fags
I'm not even gonna be banned for this post. Fucking pussies
>>710483115
If gook moot wanted a better b he would close the other misc boards and bring them back to b
>>710483196
Nah, /b/'s too fast now
[S4S] is mot's favorite board btw :^)
>>710483168
Ikr I miss the old roll breads made by mods dubs gets banned etc and I miss the this user was banned for this post
>>710477003
projecting?
>>710483274
Cunt moot is gone and I hope I never see that cunt again.
Same as ever. There have always been newfags askingthis question, you will one day answer it the same exact way. /b/ has always and will always be 13-35 year old virgins or socially inept faggots trying to sound edgy, fbi agents scanning your computer so they can steal your cp for their own collections, and newfags who have been here for 6 months who claim to have been here since 1995 when /b/ was obviously created by Mark Cuckerberg in 1996.
Congratulations, you now know the truth.

Whatever happened to (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
>>710473227
06 fag here, it was still a vile place filled with cynicism. But there were no cuck fags and not every thread was a porn thread. We had some good lulz like Jessie Slaughter, Dusty the Cat, Fox News, Raids on Habbo etc. Now it is nothing but porn and cucks.
no rate my cock, no mental illness, way less furry, way less lame ass Europeans and Australians.
more fun threads, better memes, actual raids, good times
>>710483562
>less furry
>>>/fur/
I saved this pic about 9 years ago. If that doesn't answer your question I don't know what does.
>>710483489
Moot happened after the snacks episode moot began to change the way the mods operated now they just ban cunts and were none the wiser. I want to see the mods actually doing shit though participating in this fucked up community, hell I'd even like a mod with a user name doing crazy shut for the lulz bringing some character back to the board.
>>710482757
ehh, I think if you compare the mentality of posting a trap thread as an actual "haha gotcha" thing vs a "post more like this so i can fill my trap folder" thing, one is more underlyingly homophobic than the other; the message of the old trap threads is basically 'you got a boner from this theres something wrong with you'. whereas now it's just embraced as a total normalcy
>>710483639
I agree 9000%
The mods going around fucking with people was always great for lulz. That's why [S4S] is best board, based swaglord keeps things going
It's time to bring back Snacks
>>710483562
>>710483621
Oh shit I remember when the fur board opened and moot banned all the faggots that went on it before closing the board.
Shit was epic.
>>710483755
Yep. Probably the funniest thing that faggot ever did
>>710483722
A brother after my own heart. We will never see the day though
>>710483755
Should do this with a trap board
>>710483893
Email mootwo, maybe he'll make it happen
As fucking if
I think after reading everything it comes down to the fact that the mods used to active participants in the community, you used to see them do shit, now though their abandonment has actually let this place degenerate and moots segregation of the creative from the others has left this place a hollow shell of its former self.
My 2 cents anyway.
>>710483504
This
>>710483196
Nah, he'd make a board to contain all the fucking porn.
>>710484366
There are already porn boards they're shit.
>>710474428
I lurked for a long time. People think 4chan is edgy and too an extent, I get it, but here feels so much better than Reddit. Everyone here kinda knows they're a nobody, p.o.s; whereas everyone on Reddit has some shit god complex going on. The community is just a lot better here.
Or something along the lines of that. You get my point hopefully.
>>710484450
Maybe if the mods would enforce it, fence them in.
>>710473227
Well there seems to be a lot of new fag lately. Alright I'll put old b into perspective for you:
>original(ish) content for the most part,
b is responsible for 60% of the memes you'll ever see.
>no whiteknights/moral fags
I remember when a cp thread could stay up for hours.
>people actually tried raids because they where a challenge and funny
Now every time someone even tries, white knights crash thread by doxxing op or retort in with "not your personal army" every single fucking time.
>bans where funny
Nobody cared about getting banned. You'd just be back 2 hours later.
>ylyl wasn't cancer
It used to be legitimately good by making you laugh at things you shouldn't laugh at instead of simple humerus memes and bananas.
>mootykins

Incorrect.
When less people came through here we didn't have so much shit to sift through, like the porn companies and various shills subliminally advertising their garbage to the increasingly growing number of random users, especially since Anonymous Official started gathering in groups irl and getting blamed for things they never did but felt happy to take credit for and increased the site's popularity by being on national television and news and cited as terrorists who laugh at necrophilia and child porn. Now people are flooding this site every day with garbage they've found from other sites like Pinterest, 9GAG, Tumblr, Reddit, Newgrounds and hoping to start trends or find popularity through fake and sometimes insane greentext stories like oldfags used to do back in the day. Nothing is new here, really. We have everything we used to have and more, but waaaaay too many people and even more bots and the 'janitors' and mods have gotten much, much worse. Because this site has to make money somehow to pay its bills. And these 4chan passes? Get real. Hitler's numbers are being taken over by Pepe. Idk what's real anymore.
Rules 1 and 2 by the way. And here we are on national television. Even the oldfags are fucking retards.
>>710485003
Been here since 2009 never promoted 4chan also is no longer the internet hate machine.
>>710485453
The what is tunblr
>>710484836
You left off cuck threads
>>710484836
There's a jailbait thread up literally right now, they're just not calling it that because fag mods would ban them
>>710485453
Ideas are bullet proof.
>>710473227
If you want to know how old /b/ really was, your best option is to go take a look at its article on Encyclopedia Dramatica.
>>710485840
Encyclopedia Dramatica is a good gauge of old 4chins culture in general. Most of those articles haven't been touched for years.
If anyone here actually gives a shit, I made a thread on /qa/
>>>/qa/808880
>>710485903
Yes, they were written by actual oldfags, and most importantly it's the best place to learn about 4chan etiquette. Every newfag should read it before starting to browse.
>>710485840
Fucking THIS
Encyclopedia Dramatica encompasses what /b/ really was.
Take a look and tell me if you don't find the humorous sarcasm and hate much better.
>>710486188
I don't miss the LOLSORANDUM shit to be honest.
I never thought rage comics were funny. Troll science was the shit, though.
>>710486188
It was indeed much fucking better. It's not even the trap threads or the porn that are bothering me the most (I still hate those tho). It's /b/'s general apathy and repetitiveness. Today the average /b/tard couldn't produce lulz if its life depemded on it. OC is even scarcer than before. There are still a few actually good threads drowned in this sea of manatee diarrhea, and they're more interesting than funny. The last time I remember a genuinely epic thread was a few month before. It was a dude talking about his culinary experience on eating frozen shit.
>>710486551
A dude cut open his balls with a broken lamp while he was asleep and timestamped it the other day. That was pretty good.
Third time it's happened, at least, but still pretty good. He made a video.
>>710486551
cats are always oc
>>710486630
That's exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about. Crazy stuff for us to laugh at, pass the point of no return and keep going to see what happens. Also, lolcows like Chris-chan, Jessi Slaughter and memes so intricated you had to lurk for months or a year to start understanding.
>>710486782
This ! I remember there were still Caturday threads a couple years ago, and now they're gone.
It was shit back then, but there was more OC, interesting things going on, last thing that happened on /b/ is fucking Jessie Slaughter and the birthday party for the old guy back in 2010.
People had problems, people had advice, real feelings, and it was especially different with the tripfags. Now it's just faggots thinking everything they do is a troll, edgy. Posting bananas a million times, who the fuck still thinks thats funny?
I just come here for the porn these days, that's all there is left really
>>710487105
Same here m8. Porn and also feels threads to try to cheer up a few anons. What I'm genuinely fearing is that it may just be the evolution of /b/, 4chan or even the internet in general.
>>710487105
Ye. More mod interaction would help, like others have said.
I only come by to encourage people in depression threads to kill themselves.
>>710482770
Did you just assume Heavens gender?
>>710487048
Caturday threads still exist, no worries. You can find them first around noon, maybe 12-2 AM.
>>710487841
Which timezone ?
>>710487517
No rules of the Internet clearly state there are no women on the Internet.fuck newfags everywhere.
>>710473227
This place was a place for nerds wanting to have a laugh, so that's what we did. People were much smarter back then, most knew how to use a computer pretty well, so we fucked around for laughs.
>>710488184
And newfags are the only one calling others newfags.
It used to be crescent fresh.
Now it's not crescent fresh
>>710487105
I get that. it feels like people try hard to be funny now, and when they're not trying to be funny, they're more apathetic.
and it used to be that people said real stuff, if it was funny that was cool, and sometimes it fell flat, but that was fine, the general mood was that people came to have fun.
>>710488312
Yes newfag I know I miss that place
old fagétte here
we used to hate traps ....now they normal here gay shit
I can't believe this shot hasn't 404d
Speaking of 404 I remember when 404 girl porn was so fucking taboo mods would ban people for posting it.
>>710488523
I don't even think the current populace of this place no what 404 girl is

>>710474428
I love you so much
/b/ was never good, but we used to have less tolerance
this place is like fucking reddit now
also, the raids were better and people actually delivered
we actually destroyed some people's lives
>>710474126
Nah, it used to be good. I've seen an amazing amount of dox turn up 30 minutes after some retard failed to deliver. The next day you could check to see the steaming crater of what used to be some asshole's life.
>>710482757
No, that's not true. The hatred was universal and it was especially vitriolic against those the thought police deemed too delicate to criticize in real life: faggots, niggers, cumdumpsters, etc.
>>710474428
Love you too, /b/rother. You fags taught me how to deal with loneliness and misery. The depressed fags making depressed threads helped me cope. The dropbox thread with the newfag guides, crime guide, how to cook guide... They all helped me become an actual functioning human being. I'm now most confident as ever... Because of 4chan. You guys will make it there, too.
Most of the shits in this thread are probably post-DUN DUN
>>710482856
no, white knight sjw mods tell everything to the lea we can't even talk about anything pizza related and newfags report every fucking thing even if its legal
